I don't own anything in warhammer40k.
"Sir the orks have mobilized again. This time they are headed to the planet of Hybusa. The people there aren't part of the holy empire, but could be easily persuaded to do so if we assist them." Said a fleet admiral.
Another commanding officer jumped up,
"Sir! We don't have time to go and help a planet not of the imperium when we have hundreds here that are suffering. We should concentrate all our strength on fighting the agents of chaos and other enemies of man."
Supreme Commander Garret thought carefully. Both of his advisors were right in what they said, but the final decision was his to make. If he abandoned the planet they would crumble, and the orks would move into the side of the empire. Also if he did help them, other enemies would be free to attack and he couldn't send more men to help defend. He had to make his choice now, so he did.
"We can spare one legion to go and help them. Commander Hannon, I want you to take the 185th Elites legion to go and assist the Hybusi. Crush the orks and claim that planet for the emperor!"
"As you command high commander." Said Hannon, and then he left the room to his already waiting legion.
"Let us hope we are not to late to help them."
To the Imperial Guards worst fear, the orks had already landed on Hybusa, coming in swiftly and crushing many towns. The citizens of the planet had quickly made the 18th militia legion to defend themselves. Commissar Veers and Commander Vengal led them. The main battlefront was at the city of Saturn, on the river of Gems. This was the only way to the capital of Sol. The orks had attacked the city several times, and always been pushed back. The defenders used a mix of weaponry. They had lasguns, bolters, heavy weapon emplacements, chainswords, power swords, fission rifles, rocket launchers, and a large amount of out-dated but effective weapons. These were things such as sub-machine guns, assault rifles, pistols, normal single shot rifles, and frag grenades. They only had a few vehicles at their disposal. Most stolen from the Imperial Guard. They held 5 Sentinels, a pair of Hellhounds, a few Space Marine Land Speeders, and their pride and joy, 3 Basilisk artillery cannons.
Ammo however was a precious thing. They only had about 100 shells for the Basilisk's and about 4,000 rounds for the Land Speeders. The Hellhounds and Sentinels had all their flamers and lascannons. The rest for smaller weapons they had plenty of.
Commander Vengal awoke with a start in his tent. When he sat up, an explosion shook the ground outside. He jumped out of his bunk and woke the men of the Guardian Company. They all put on their armor and ran up to the walls of the city.
The orks were coming in a huge swarm. Thousands of them moved towards the wall. Vengal picked up his favored weapon; the historians called it an M1grand, and aimed down the newly added scope. The orks were about 300 yards away from the firing range. He looked up at the other companies running up to the walls. Commissar Veers walked up with his personal bodyguards.
"Hold the line." He yelled. "Fight for everything you have. For your families and for your planet!" The walls got quiet after he spoke. No sound was heard from the city. The orks moved up, now 100 yards away. Soon they were 50, and finally the front line stepped up to the killing field.
Vengal looked down his scope and yelled, "Fire at will!" The only sound many men heard was the firing of lasguns and bullet shooting weapons. Orks dropped like flies from the first wave, but kept coming. Some men set up some .50 caliber gun emplacements and opened fire. The orks dropped under the hail of bullets and lasers.
Vengal loaded another clip into his rifle, when he saw a swarm of ork stormboyz coming at them. He quickly gave out orders.
"Rifle up men! Take out those orks!" All of Guardian company opened fire at the sky. Many orks fell to the ground, but most of the shots missed and the orks landed on the wall. The 3rd line of defenders on the wall drew chain and power swords to fight them. Vengal pulled a shotgun from his back and blew an ork's brains out. Commissar Veers killed one ork with his bolt pistol, and slew two more with his power sword. Everything was going well, for now at least. While the 3rd line took care of the stormboyz, the rest of the men kept on firing.
Vengal looked out and saw some ork gretchins and tankboyz moving up to the wall. They carried many explosives on them to try and blow it open. The Hybusi opened up thousands of round to take them out. When they were cleared Vengal heard the ring of artillery fire, and saw some leman Russ tanks stolen from the Guardsmen open up. The shells hit the wall under Vengal, and while he blacked out the world fell under his feet.
