"Yes Mother Superior I have need of her services"

Nathan strode into the cell past the Mother Superior and looked at the sister."Will you follow me into fire? will you Follow me into darkness? Will you follow me and bring the light of the Emperor to all the dark corners that have never known it or haave forsaken it?"

"Master Inquisitor is it WISE for you to take her into your retinue??Surely there are other sisters you can use" The Mother superior said .

"There may be but I believe it is HIS will that I use THIS child of his in my retinue and ....Who are WE to second Guess HIM"

Adivan swore, and turned to the left. He could see a blurred shape moving through Fire Team Tango, leaving slaughter in it's wake. No. It can't be. I saw that thing die, saw it's corpse incinerated. How could it survive... But that question was one he knew the answer to, all too well. Barking a curt order for the Stormtroopers to stay with Kruger, he ran for what remained of the fire team. On the way, he hung the combiweapon from his shoulder, and shifted his blade to a two-handed grip. I will kill that thing, if I have to strike it down another thousand times.

The Blademaster ran across the wall right past Adivan, sneering at him as it passed him. It slid down the wall behind him and started slaughtering Kruger's honour guard.

Now would be a good time for the Astartes to drop in and save the day, like they always seem to do in the pictmovies.

But failing that, they would have to make do with what materials they had at hand. Prius listened to the babble of vox communications and attempted once again to make order in the chaos as attacks whirled around him. The fighting was perilously close to the CP, but unless something landed in his lap, he was going to remain focused on fighting his regiment rather than entangling himself in personal heroics.

"We are the Imperial Guard, and no false god of chaos can stand against the might of the God-Emperor!" he implored his troops over the vox. "We will stand our ground and smite these abominations!"

GeneralTacticus · Post by **GeneralTacticus** » 2004-12-09 02:43am

Adivan would have sworn again, but he didn't have time. He had slashed out at the Blademaster as it ran past, but it had simply run around it; now, he switched his blade back to his left hand, while one his plasma pistols lept into right. As Kruger's guards struggled to deal with the abomination, he aimed, waited, and fired while it's back was turned. If he was right, the bolt should strike the thing's head right as it dodged a hellgun blast from one of the Stormtroopers.

The Blademaster grabbed the Stormtrooper and spun him around, and Adivans shot merely blew the Stormtrooper apart. The Blademaster continued spinning, but was stopped midway by Kruger wielding Pater's staff. Adivan couldn't get a clear shot.

The young Novice looked up trembling, I live only to serve him. I shall destroy his enemies where ever they are, even if I am unclean.

After the mother superior dismissed the young novice the Inquistionor had a brief talk.

"Sister Lillith, is a blank, a being who can not be effected by the Psycher, or the Demon, she shall make a great Demon hunter someday."

"Do not call her That, the little mutant, can never earn the right to be a full sister of this order."

A stun greande landed in Prius's lap.

In a flash Jolan felt the psychic emenation from Prius. He was a latent and apparently a strong enough one that he hadn't been possessed in this demon riddled hell pit. He grabbed Prius's shoulder. "Commissar! Listen to me! If confronted by these warpspawn, keep your faith! Think of the Emperor and everything you are willing to give up to serve Him and don't waver!"

He didn't have time to explain to Prius that he was a psyker, but he could reinforce his latent abilities by telling him useful directions to focus. Faith in the Emperor would help against all manner of daemons, but self sacrifice was especially potent against the servants of Tzeentch. Gix grinned. It was a cruel expression, one he rarely wore. Gix's temper was usually under tight reign. Now it was not so. In aiding Prius, Jolan had inadvertently given himself a weapon against the PsyKing. There would be a reckoning.

Prius sensed the oncoming grenade in time to ready himself for imminent danger, and he swept his hand out, deflecting the grenade... right into the middle of the command staff, who promptly were... stunned.

He grabbed Gix's shoulder, dragging him aside as he drew his plasma pistol, snapping a shot just past the inquisitor's head and singing Gix's hair... only to miss the chaos warrior, who ducked back under cover.

"I personally care not if she is a mutant.Squats are mutants.Ogryn are mutants.Yet THEY serve the Emperor.She will serve the Emperor .THAT is all I care about"

"Think of it this way Mother Superior,the irony of it, using a Mutant as you called her to slay the enemies of the Emperor"

"That She redeem herself by slaying those who would ....destroy the Imprium with decay and destruction"

"Unorthodox yes but her mutation is useful...No daemon may take her .That is why I have chosen her for my retinue.She is loyal and obedient...a weapon to be used"

Nathan looked her in the eyes." There IS no innocence in this age ...merely degrees of guilt.We purge our guilt through service to Him.She shall purge her guilt as she aids me in serving HIM"

The Chaos Warriors dropped out of the ceiling vents and started ritually slaughtering the injured and stunned guardsmen.

GeneralTacticus · Post by **GeneralTacticus** » 2004-12-09 02:58am

Almost hurling the plasma pistol back into it's holster, Adivan ran back into the melee with the blazing yellow blade held high. If he and Kruger could engage this thing together, they might be able to kill it. If Kruger still had his psycannon, they might even be able to finish it off this time...

As the Blademaster twisted away from Kruger, it continued it's efforts to block Adivan's field of fire. Discarding the option of shooting it for the moment, Adivan strained his powers to the limit and reached with psychic finger for the thing's throat, seeking to choke it or break it's neck. Even if it didn't die, it should be slowed down, and that would provide all the opening he needed.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-09 02:58am

Ducking for cover near where Severa Valin was counter attacking was a poor idea. A slash of her power cutless spilled brains everywhere. She burned down another with a plasma burst and then ducked behind conver. Gix would get them out, she thought. Fight hard, keep your head, and Gix will come through. Oh God-Emperor, please let Jolan come through.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-09 02:59am

Drawing his sword with his other hand, Prius stepped forward, then slid sideways so his back was to Gix as he fired as fast as the plasma pistol would recharge, marveling at how little it heated up. The sword flashed to life as he bellowed at the top of his lungs, a war cry that resounded off the walls and carried with it the force of his psyk-enhanced charisma, inspiring what few surviving guardsmen were in the area.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2004-12-09 03:08am

The Blademaster stopped and gagged. Kruger fired a Psycannon shell into it's chest, but it had little effect. He readjusted and fired at it's Dagger; The dagger exploded and the Blademaster screamed, great gashes forming down it's body. It wavered, reformed, and them popped out of existance with an oddly anticlimactic sound. Kruger got up again, punctured in hundreds of places by shrapnel from the daemonic weapon. "This isn't good. I think we destroyed it, though."

Something was forming in the centre of the CP, being fed by the blood of the dead and dying.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-09 03:08am

Ancient saber in his left, brand new power sword in his right, D'eckor slaughtered chaotics with abandon. In close quarters his reinforced armour, massive strength, long reach, hard earned experience, superior weaponry, and conversion field added up to an almost insurmountable advantage. He opened torsos, parried strikes, shattered weapons, severed limbs, and split heads. He was a dervish, a whirlwind of carnage. The nicks and cuts and bruises that the soon to be dead and dying were inconsequential. They all fell before him. And then it happened.

The bayonet thrust was from inches away, too close to trigger the conversion field. It tore through the left side of his flak jacket and then thrust up punching through the mesh. The blade went in his lower back and the tip came out through the front of his upper chest.

He staggered and the Path trooper shoved him foreward with brutality Hethor's instructors all those years ago would have admired. He fell face first on the bloody floor, surrounded by his kills.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-09 03:12am

His back to that particular action, Prius was oblivious to whatever was forming in the center of the CP. He dropped his empty plasma pistol and slashed with his sword, cutting through a thrusting bayonet-tipped lasgun as if it were paper, then swinging back to behead the Path warrior coming at him. His inexperience with the weapon was telling, however, as he overswung and staggered off balance, more used to the heavy chainsword he trained with previously.

Pater let out a string of curses in his native tongue. This was all his fault! He should be there! He rallied the troops still outside the Manufactorum to abandon their attempts to destroy the blast doors; Nothing short of orbital bombardment would do anything there. He instructed them to push through another part of the Hive and open a corridor from the Manufactorum to allow the troops inside to evacuate.

Later as the child was bathed and barely clothed the mother supirior had her ordered to the chapel armoury. the young waif short red hair stood out as she stood before the sister armourers. Laid out before her was a suit of holy armour, a long cloak with the order's flur-de-leis over a burning torch crossed with pike.

before her was set a bolter, strange rune carved ammunition, a small hellgun, and lastly a dusty box taken from deep withing the Order's Reliquises. As the small figur dressed, the once horrid wounds she had suffered at the hands of the Chaos servant, were now nothing more then slight red welts.

Little one, in the history of this order, only one other has had the strength to use this. With a touch the young girl lifted the spear like it was a feather, flames, covered it and covered her arm but did not harm her.

"This is Longinus, take it and Begone."

GeneralTacticus · Post by **GeneralTacticus** » 2004-12-09 03:17am

"That," Adivan observed, "is one of the advantages of power armour. Let's just hope it doesn't come back this time; last time, I slagged half of it with a meltagun and had flamers cook the rest, but it still came back."

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-09 03:18am

The chaos trooper had him dead to rights, the shot lined up directly at his chest, a vicious smile on his face as he squeezed the trigger, only to be staggered at the last minute by a hasty shot from Michaelson, who pumped lasfire into the Path warrior. Prius took advantage of the respite to draw his laspistol, panting with exertion. They were dead, he was certain of it, but they would take as many of these fething chaos spawn with them as they could, an honor guard on their way to sit at the Emperor's side...

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-09 03:20am

With a wordless shout Severa fired a burst of bolter rounds into Path trooper standing over Hethor. Her naval troopers were down despite their carapace armour and autoshotguns. They had taken a heavy toll before falling. Gix was struggling with Path trooper, both of them rolling on the floor after the flying tackle that had taken Gix down. The inquisitor was oblivious to the thing forming in mid air, being involved in his own life or death struggle.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-09 03:25am

"Commissar!" Michaelson yelled, directing his attention to... whatever it was forming in the middle of the CP.

Prius looked, his shoulders slumping. "Oh... what the feth now?" he muttered, before a Path trooper lunged at him, forcing him to backpedal and desperately parry a flurry of strikes from a power sword... the warrior he faced was obviously some sort of officer, and a damn good swordsman.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2004-12-09 03:26am

Kruger and Adivan battled their way back towards the CP, where they felt something big happening.

The thing that was forming now seemed to be sucking sound out of the room too, making the battle oddly surreal.
