He ran. His legs pounding on the blood stained ground, muscles straining, he sprinted as fast as he could down the empty city streets. Heavy footsteps followed his, and loud bellowing in a brutish language followed close on his heels. Turning briefly, he caught a glimpse of a large, brutish beast, clad in crude armor. And green-skinned. The ork had been chasing him for a few minutes now, but was slowly gaining on him. He knew that if slowed down, then the great beast would kill him instantly. It was happening all around the city, in fact. Hundreds of the foul orks had spilled from the forests of Phorphoras Prime and invaded the hive cities in the past months. The PDF had been overrun instantaneously and the orks were free to ravage the lands unopposed, taking slaves for sport. The man was one of them. He had been captured and enslaved but had managed to escape the ork slavers. Unfortunately for him, he had run into an ork as he escaped and now that ork was chasing him down. He looked ahead of him and saw a dark shadow coming towards him. Fearing another ork but having no place to run, the man began to lose hope. He ran on hoping that he would be able to rush past the monster, but something stopped him. Two loud barks issued from the figure ahead of him. As it walked from the shadows the man saw that this newcomer was covered in black slate armor with large a large fire arm pointed directly at the ork. The man tripped over and crashed onto the ground just as he was within a few feet of the towering figure and looked up in time to see it fire three more shots from its gun. That was when he was it. The figures right pauldron came into view and a large stylized "U" of white was stationed in the middle of an azure blue. An Ultramarine. But that wasn't all, the man saw that the left pauldron, displayed a large "I" signifying the Inquisition. The man wept with joy, as similarly clad warriors stepped from the shadows and began to gun down the ork chasing him.
The Deathwatch had come to Phorphoras Prime, and they were angry.
