The bodies lay on the ground, burning. The sky was black as death. The ground was turned to ash. No living thing was left alive. None but Kalkos. He stood within the smoldering ashes of destruction. His massive body cloak was wrapped around his hulking frame. The edges were torn and tattered. His sand colored power armor was scratched and the paint was chipping. He kept his cowl pulled over his helmet. Kalkos began to walk forwards. His trusted bolter in his hands. He stepped over the burning bodies of his fallen brothers. He would make the traitors suffer. He marched towards the eerie glow of the chaos energies in the north.
The Stalkers Space Marine chapter, fourth company, arrived at the planet known as Hargo III, a forge world. Both the Imperial and Mechanicus residents were under assault by the the archenemy. The Lords of Dusk, traitor Astartes that have plagued the world for over four years. When The Stalkers arrived, they saw that they were late. Most of the hives and forges had been levels or damaged beyond saving. The Imperial Guard regiments, the Riding Furies and the 497th Black Bears, suffered heavy losses. The war was a lost one, but the Astartes were stronger than the mortals and challenged the traitors. Despite the odds, The Stalkers would hunt down the enemy until every last one was dead.
