Encounter With Chaos

Ok this is based on a battle I had with my friend.


Shas'la Vi walked along the plains with his Fire Warrior Squad. It had been 5 days sent his Tau detachment made planet fall on this strange unknown planet. As far as they knew, it was a green world, with rolling plains and forests.

Now two groups of Fire Warriors, a Pathfinder Team, and two Crisis Battle Suits were sent to scout ahead of the main force for hostels. So far all they found on the plainswere about ten-foot boulders, and a pond,.

"There's nothing out here but bugs and dirt." Said Vi over the COM radio. He was in the back of his squad on point.

"Quiet Shas'la " replied his squad Shas'ui, Vonin, "The enemy could be anywhere, and I don't want them to pick up on radio chatter."

"What enemy?" asked Tulen, the carbineer. "All we heard was a little crash in the night and everyone is freaking out." Normally, Fire Warriors never complained, butthis grouphas seen so much action, for so long, they have taken to it. Plus, their commanding officers didn't seem to mind, as long as they got the job done. Which they always did.


"Let's check out those ruins," Vonin said to his squad. "I think I see movement there.

The squad was about 100 yards from the ruins, coming down a hill. Vi was having a conversation with a fellow squad member, Tiv, when Tiv suddenly burst red mist and crumpled to the ground.

"Auto cannon! Take cover!" Vonin yelled as the group dove for the boulders or whatever cover they could find. Vi ended up next to Vonin and Tulen. Vonin was looking through his battle binocs. He threw them down and cursed.

"It's those blasted Chaos! I can see a large squad of warriors, a heavy weapons team, and a terminator." Vonin said grimly. He grabbed Tulen.

"Get on the COM, radio the pathfinders, tell them to light up the targets for the battle suits. I want them to target those heavy weapon teams!"

After a few moments of radio chatter, the Crisis' started to pound the chaos weapon team with battle cannon and missile fire, but to now avail. The group would just take cover in the ruins. One Battle Suit Shas'vre was about to shoot off another round of fire but got a lascannon slug blasted into his chest. The blast punctured the suit's tough armor and sent the Sahs'vre falling to the ground.

The squads peppered the chaos troops with fire, killing some, but mostly their heavy armor deflected the Tau's shots.

"Vi, you stay here with Tulen, I'm going to give Squad Two some help." The Shas'ui ran sprinted towards another a large boulder where squad two was taking cover. Although before he got to the squad, he was hit by a bolter shot to the stomach and fell to the ground, wriggling in pain.

Without thinking, Vi ran out to get his squad leader. He heard a shout behind him, covering fire maybe? He didn't care, his leader was in danger and he had to get him. Bullets drove into the ground with a Thud as he ran toward Vonin. He grabbed him by his collar and dragged him back to his cover.

Tulen helped Vi sit Vonin up, They took off his helmet, to talk to him clearly, but it was too late, he was dead.

Tulen suddenly looked up. "They're moving up!" Vi looked out. It was true. The squads of chaos warriors, lead by the terminator, were advancing. He looked over at squad two, and see what their Shas'ui would say, but he had died too.

"Retreat back to the main camp!" yelled the battle suit Shas'vre. "I'll cover you!"

The suit opened up with it's weapons as the squad fell back. Only three warriors got away before a missile hit the battle suit, and the explosion disintegrated the Shas'vre. Then all hell broke loose. Retreating Tau were mowed down by the terminator's roaring machine gun. Any fire directed at the terminators tough armor was in vain. Vi and Tulen stayed put.

"This is great." Said Tulen. "If we stay we're dead, if we move, we're dead." He then gasped in terror and looked behind Vi. Behind him stood the hulking terminator. It raised it machine gun. Vi stared in horror. Before the ultimate doom by bullets, the Terminator suddenly fell to the ground, a huge sizzling hole in the back of his helmet.

"You owe me one, Shas'La." Said a pathfinder over the radio. "You get out of here. We can remain hidden from these demons and will wait for you to return with a stronger force. We will link up with you then.

Vi thanked the pathfinder. He was shaking. He was shaking as he fell back to the main camp, dodging bullets. He was shaking when he reported to his superior officers. He was shaking when he linked up with the survivors of that battle. And he was still shaking when he went to sleep, thinking of the next battle.


So yea, I got pretty destroyed in that battle. But at least I got that terminator. So look for the next and final chapter in this battle, where I get some revenge.
