The Bleeding Galaxy

[Srgntcuddles]

As Reno was planting the explosives his father and the rest of the team were still fighting. Two team members were picked off unfortunately. His father and the last man that was there were being pinned down by the bunker which Reno was running away from. Soon enough it exploded, allowing the remaining units of the stealth team regroup. It was only Reno, his father and one other man left in the team. Now regrouped they decided to go get another bunker but it was across the battlefield so they had to go through a hail of gunfire. They activated their stealth fields and ran for it, as they ran the other member of the team was shot and died, leaving Reno and his father to make it to the bunker. Reno set up some more explosives while his father covered him.

Meanwhile on Garland I...

Rio stood at the back of the ceremony, she was really the only Slaanesh follower there. But she didn't have a problem watching people get sacrificed, she loved it. So she did for awhile until she grew bored and sauntered off followed by Calico. "Nothing like a good sacrifice, eh, Calico?" "I could not agree with you more, Miss Rio..." he said sarcastically. "Well lets go to base and get that back rub." Calico sighed as he continued to follow Rio. Back at base Rio was in her quarters with Calico. Though Calico was in a human looking for like Rio. She was on her bed on her stomach as he was over her giving her the back rub. "I love your back rubs, Calico, you're so good at this..." "Thank you, Miss Rio..."

Knawgril noted the Hammerhead pounding on his boyz and grunted in displeasure.  "Runty greyskinz...fink dey can jus bash on us without retallyashun.  Ize showz dem a fing o two!"  Knawgril pulled out a ramshackle radio and shouted into it.

"Oi!  Big Mek!  You dere?!"

One of the Skarboyz looked at Knawgril quizzically.  "Huh?"

"Not you ya git!"

The radio crackled to life.  ~shskshkshskshshshkh-What-shkshk-iz-shhksskhh-it-sshkshkhks-Boss?-shskshskshksh~

Knawgril put a massive green hand over his face in an Ork facepalm "Da raydeeoh makez da noizez by itself stupid!  Talk normalz!"

~Oh...Sorry Boss...~

"Dats betta...git your 'ide and dah Banechoppa o'er to dat 'Ammer'ead.  Itz blowin' away me boyz!  'Turn da fayva."

~Youze got it Boss!~  The Baneblade diverted its course and began to charge towards Tel'vani's Hammerhead, firing all of its arsenal his way.

Post Merge: July 09, 2010, 11:51:59 PMEntaru slammed his Neuro Claw into his desk, breaking it in half.  He had just gotten news of the destroyed bunker.  "Curse their rotten hides!  Have the Space Marines (Chrono) deal with those Stealthsuits (Cuddles).  They've already caused more damage then they should have!!  PURGE THE XENOS FROM THE CITY!!!" 

The call went out to Chronin's group to deal with the Stealthsuit sabotuers.  Meanwhile, a Dreadnought mowed down a line of kroots and began to lead a large group of Ogryn into the advancing Tau force.  The Ogryn were making quick work of any Fire warriors that got into their way while the Dreadnought kept them blissfully free of the kroots.  The vespids weren't even making it to fighting distance as the Imperial snipers were making bets on how many they could shoot down by the end of the battle.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Gerin had to tolerate the rather messy display of power as long as Tzeentch deemed it necessary, so he didn't outright retch at the sight of the ritual, and walked away as the blood-spatter his the back of his armor. The whole idea of him leading a pack of bipedal rabies-ridden dogs was not what he wanted to deal with, at least the Slaneesh knew the difference between "Charge" and "advance". But, his weapons made him more suited as a Khornate leader, so thats what he did...


Chronin got the call, and waved his left arm at the other Marines, who all followed him as the jumped off the wall, their armored hands scraping the wall as they slow their decent into battle. The moment they hit the ground, Chronin leads the Marines towards the recently destroyed bunker. "We have stealthsuits, so make sure you're not using regular visor settings. May the Emperor guide our bullets!!" he yelled before firing full-auto at the first stealth-suit in 'sight'

[Gabag]

The Tau Commander opened fire on the now exposed Space Marines, remembering what her mentor, Commander Puretide taught her. He taught her that these soldiers were symbols of hope and of the Imperium's might.

Any tools furthering a cause rivaling the Greater Good must be destroyed.

Malal once again addressed the attending Chaos cultists.

"We will board the intact Tau ships, an we will make all due haste towards the world where the Emperor's lackeys gather in force! Chaos can not be denied my brothers!" At this, Chaos rejoiced, and then troops flooded towars the nearest space ports with intact ships.

[Entaru]

The guardsmen of the Imperium rallied as they saw their Space Marine bretheren attack the Tau.  Shouts of "For the Emperor!" floated through the battlefield as the wavering morale of the troops not only steadied but strengthened.  One sniper took a potshot at the Tau commander, barely missing her head.

"Leave it to the Space Marines to turn terror into bloodlust..."

[Srgntcuddles]

Reno was almost done planting the bomb when his father tapped him on the shoulder and told him they had to leave. He picked up the marines inbound to their position. Reno stopped and got up ready to move with his father. Just on the other side of the bunker were the hunting marines. Reno and his father activated their stealth and got ready to run towards their allies. But they were cut off so ran inside the bunker instead. There were a few enemies inside but Reno's father dispatched them. They would just have to lay low until the marines gave up or went far enough away to allow them to escape. It's not like they would search their own bunker for enemies anyway...

[KittKat chunky~]

Tel'vani looked up in trepidation, as the huge monstrosity belched forwards. Oily smoke poured from its engine stacks, and the ground shook under its gargantuan treads as it rumbled towards the lone hammerhead... Inside the cockpit, Tel'vani shook a lock of hair from out of her eyes...

"Err... Tel'vani.... Not that i doubt your skills Shas'vre, but that is a big tank..."

Giving a brief laugh, Tel'vani flexed her fingers over the gunship controls... "No need to worry Shas'la... the bigger they are... the harder they fall.." And with that, she brought the hammerhead into a G-force rippling dive... The gunship engines roared, as the sleek vehicle circled around the flank of the Banechoppa....






Inside the rattling and roaring Battlewagon Gurt laughed manically. "AHAHAHAAA! DEY SQUISH GOOD DUNN'EY BOSS?" The laughing Ork drove the armoured vehicle straight through a Tau defence line. A lone crisis suit landed in front of the battlewagon, it fired its fusion blaster with a sharp -ZWEEM-

The shot melted a hole straight through the battlewagon, frying an Ork... Gurt gave a gutteral laugh again, as the crisis suit was crushed below the armoured wheels of the battlewagon... "Gyahaha! Fasta... FASTAAA!"

[Entaru]

Knawgril guffawed as the battlewagon ran down everything in its path.  Finally it was about to reach its destination.  "A'rite boyz...time ta bust sum 'eadz!  WAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHH!!!!!"  Knawgril barreled through his men, bellowing his warcry.  Bursting out of the back of the battlewagon and into the middle of the second line, he immediately began thrashing everything in his way.  The Skarboyz immediately followed suit, bellowing and chopping their way through the Tau line.

The boyz who remained in the battlewagon continued firing at their own targets...except the gretchins, who were too scared to fire at anything but the Artillery line.

The Burna Boyz at the front line were laying waste to anything that got too close, with the rest of the mob picking off the survivors.  The Big Mek inside the Baneblade hollered at a few gretchins.  Soon, all of its guns were firing away...some at the Hammerhead, most at random targets.  The main gun however gave the Hammerhead its full attention, firing its payload at the gunship.  The Big Mek pressed a few buttons inside the cockpit and the Baneblade was suddenly covered with an eerie orange glow.

speeda climbed on top of the battlewagon and jumped at the nearest and biggest group of tau shouting "FOR GORK AN' MORK!" as he landed his choppa into the helmet of the first tau infantryman he then released his choppa and broke the neck of two tau soldiers before reclaiming his discarded weapon and hacking the rest to peices.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin wasn't sure if they had escaped, or retreated, but the number the found was not really proportional to the damage done."You three with me, the rest will go reinforce the lines. Now go forth in His name and bring victory!!" he yelled at the end before taking point as he and two other marines went into the bunker. Another would be to see if anyone of significance died here, and bring any evidence of them back for a momentary funeral. "Now split up and keep radio silence until contact..." he said as they went off into different directions.

[Srgntcuddles]

As Reno and his father hid in the bunker one of the marines venturing in poked it's nose into their hiding spot. He was quickly and quietly dealt with, hopefully there wasn't anymore. Though Reno's father's tracker told them otherwise. Their only chance now was to fight the rest of the people in the bunker and wait for reinforcements. They hid the body of the marine in the shadows and moved out towards one of the two lone targets.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin finished his sweep, but wasn't satisfied with the lack of contact. "Report in. I've found no trace..." "Evrin Reporting: No luck here either sir... although I found Col. Drew's right arm... and whats left of his skeleton." "Theyda Reporting: Nothing here... the room seems cleaned out" Chronin couldn't hear the third report, since he brought in three people, and only two reported back. "Everyone meet back up, and keep channels open, I want those freaks dead before I get back to the base..."

[Gabag]

Apparently the Marines had forgotten about the Tau commander and her bodyguards firing upon them, and fired heavier munitions at the bunker where the marines were stationed. Shas' o Kas noticed the las shot fly by her head, and punished the Imperials by throwing a photon grenade in a nearby trench, detonating it and sending guardsmen flying.

[lukeweedon1]

Luke looked down at the planet from the battle barge above "poor blighters must be catching lead in bucket fulls down there..." Luke wandered the battle barge checking around for the marines he would go down with and in doing which found out there wasn't any marines left in the barge just a few scouts ,like him, the pilots and inquisitor Toth Luke approached the inquisitor "excuse me sir which group of scouts am i going down with?" the inquisitor looked at him despite having large wings making him as bulky as normal scouts Luke was quite a bit thinner than most scouts and his lack of experience showed inquisitor Toth paused and said "come to the mess hall with me i will explain there... and maybe you will actually eat something" as the inquisitor walked off Luke sneered at him slightly then followed he heard several voices of pain in his head and just before he was going to report this to the inquisitor thinking it to be the taint of chaos Toth spoke up and said "that is the voices of your fallen brothers on the planet not the taint of chaos." "how did you know that?" Luke said puzzled by the inquisitors powers "because i can hear them too its just a confirmation of what i sensed before." "and that was...?" Luke got in front of the inquisitor hoping being in front would help him the inquisitor just walked on and said "you'll be going down with the next group of marines get ready to deploy". Luke froze and gripped his Bolter in its holster then flew back to his quarters his wings barely fitting through the corridors above the other marines he was scared and it was clear as an ork waaagh!

[Entaru]

Entaru grimaced as the battle continued.  The first line was holding, but barely.  The Tau had the advantage in ranged weaponry but in urban combat like this their range was useless.  Thank the Emperor for that...forgive me, my liege, for my lack of faith but I doubt we would've lasted this long if it weren't for superior cover and your blessed Space Marines.  Entaru looked about the battlefield.  A grin came over his face as a plan came into his head.  Looking to his officers he relayed his command.  "Send a Skull Probe to Foxtrot X-ray...have it send up a flare for the drop pods."  One of the officers saluted and went to prepare the Skull Probe.  Entaru looked to the area marked as Foxtrot X-ray and laughed.  The Tau commander would be wearing a drop pod as a hat soon.

The Skull Probe floated its way through the battlefield, unseen.  Its built in stealth generator kept many of the Tau from noticing it, as it actively avoided anything that might detect it.  Shas'o Kas only saw it as it was too late.  The signal for the drop pods was sent.

((Luke, its your time to shine.  Gabag, might I suggest doing an epic dive out of the way.))
