Warlock: Must be real bad if they have to call in me.

The drop pod is cramped, and your fellow guardsman seem nervous.

Warlock: You okay?

???: dear emperor

As you look upon the ruined corpse, you recognize the young guardsman.

(oh no)

The Ultramarine stands behind you. "I'm sorry..."

*tears*

"We should go..."

"yeah"

The Ultramarine spins around quickly and fires his boltgun.

"where"

"The Fortress. Your pod was dropped just outside the wall."

"I meant what you were shooting at"

"My time draws near. I have not long for this Imperium..."

"yeah, only in death dose duty end. and bye the way your talking, sounds like an exterminates is coming"

"No. The Librarius confirmed the end of this world."

"want some alcohol"
*pulls out a canteen*

"I do not drink."

"ok, well keeps the fear away"
*takes a swig*

He laughs. "Astartes do not feel fear."

"well I'm not astartes, just an average joe who singed up"

"Then you are brave. Not many mortals can withstand the fears that the xenos and chaos bring upon them."

"right now I feel like the luckiest guy ever. not only have I met one of the emperors angles, I am also have a conversation with him. And he complemented me"

He pulls out his boltgun. "Brothers! Are you ready?"
An ultramarine walks up to you. "Let's go..."

"I coming"

He walks towards the fortress, and you can hear Khornate Battle cries.
"It's best if you don't look..."

"ok, sure"
*closes eyes*

"I meant at the battle."

Stringstorm?

(yes)

(Great music artist)

(I know)

(that song is XXth right?)

(yes)

"Oh. There was a cultist behind us."

"oh, the bodys. the just all blend in togheter"

"Yeah..."

"anyway, on with the mission"

"We have to get inside the walls. The World Eaters are leading the assault, and it is rumored that the Betrayer himself is leading them."

"oh sweet emperor father of the primarchs"
(was trying to do a 40k version of sweet mary mother of god)

An voice echoes through the plains surroinding the fortress.
"... of Rites, Venerable of the Palatine Host, and proud servant of the Emperor of Mankind, beloved by all. I reject you now and always!"

"I'm felling something crawling down my spine, I don't know what it is"

The Ultramarine looks at you.
"You heard it too?"

"yes, anything special about that"

(allo?)

(sorry, had to do something IRL)

(lol it's ok)

thxs

(continue?)

(???)

The drop pod is cramped, your fellow guardsman all offering prayers to the emperor.

???: something tells me we ain't gonna survive this one

The nearest guardsman looks at you, he looks young. "Don't lose your faith brother."

"still have it"

The drop pod shakes, and the green lights inside turn red.

"you ready"

The guardsman nods. Suddenly, there is an loud thud, and everything goes black.

*wisper*
"the emperor protects"

By "and everything goes black" I meant you got knocked out

(continue the rp?)

(yes)

"If only you would survive..."

"before I felt like I had a good 1% chance at survival. now I feel like it's a -57% chance"

He puts his helm back on, and signals the remaining marines.

*just stands their wide eyed*
(once again, he is basically seeing a lot of the holeyest of the holy mass up in front of him)

"Brothers! Today we fight and die! This guardsman here need to leave this planet alive! We need to hold off the World Eaters as long as possible!"

"I will help"

"No. You're leaving. It is our duty to fight for those who are below us."

"do you see a working ship anywhere. I don't"

"There's a Thunderhawk in the fortress. Brother Xavier will pilot it."

"thank you"

At some point, you are shaken awake and you wake up to see an Ultramarine standing over you.

"hello"
*nevours grin*

"Finally! A survivor! I was afraid that everyone aboard was gone."

"what you mean"

He takes off his helmet, and he has a genuine look of regret on his face.
"There was only one other survivor, but he was too far gone... I spared him the pain..."

"who was he"

"I couldn't tell... He was... I'm sorry, the details would scar you..."

"really, I can handle it"

He sighs.
"His body's over there..." He points left.

*gose over*

"Do you know who Rylanor was?"

"no"

He sighs. "It's a long story..."

"It's ok, you don't need to tell me"

"I'm just glad I can meet one of the emperors angels"

"All you need to know is that he died long ago..."

"he's back isn't he"

"No. He's dead. Completely. Even his dreadnought body couldn't survive it."

"did you just say dreadnought"

"Yes..." He looks at the sky."

"Are reinforcements coming"

He takes his helmet off. "I don't know..."

"Is it just you and me, against an army"

"No. There are a few more marines. But the guardsman were killed off..."

"And I was the only unharmed survivor"

"Yes."

"we are so dead, the same could be said for them but the way you described khan I doubt it"

He hand you his bolt pistol. "Keep it. It was blessed by my chaplain."

"thank you........... Sir"
