APOCALYPSE MESSIAH
PART 1:PREPERATION
The man observed his surroundings,his armour creaking and scraping as he raised his binoculars to his hawkish eyes.He was a reasnable hieght,long black hair hung from his thin skull.A white streak ran from his fringe down to his ends.Both his shoulder plates dispayed medals, his chest armour showed no graffeti,sugesting that he was of some importance.
As he silently tracked the horizon, some soldiers chated amongst themselves. Out of the huddle,one man emerged.An image intensifier covered his left eye, it was not operable,so he was probably using it to hide a scar.He raised his visible eye and said,
"Commander Kessai?is that you?"
A silence filled the air as the group eagerly awaited a response.The tall man removed his binoculars,which were seemingly glued to his face a moment before.He turned towards the soldier who had asked him the question.His fringe hid his face.
"how many of you are there?"
He got straight to the point,there was no introduction.
The soldier with one eye's face lit up,he cleared his throught and answered,
"ahh,maybe 200 sir,but we haven't done a head count since the last attack, are reinforcements comming?"
Kessai went back to his binoculars,but still replied,
"It depends........."
Kessai's eyes looked towards the ground,
"...Most of Siberous Defense Forces have moved towards the city gates,that is were the emperor believes the enemy will attack"
Kessai aproached the one eyed man,
"Is there any other questions?"
The soldier hesitated before answering,
"Ah,yes sir,why are you way out here in the badlands?shouldn't you be with Siberous's main forces?"
Kessai was silent before replying,as he always was,
"Because I believe the emperor is wrong".
With that,Kessai began to walk towards the huddle.He stoped a few metres away from them.His eyes gleemed in the moon's glow.It was around miday,but the sun seemed to distant for is rays to hit the Earth.He brushed away the thin strand of hair that had fallen over his face.Raising his chin,Kessai began to speak,
"Siberous Exodus is in opreration,In a short time 2000 people will be departing the Earth for a better place.The two spacecraft must leave the Earth without any intefierence from General Khaan's forces.My daughter and my wife are on that ship. I want them out of here safely,and im not letting some dumbass emperor screw it up.
There is no doubt that the largest army ever seen will be gathered up by khaan to stop Siberous Exodus from leaving the ground.I have managed to pull a few strings and a TITAN will be here soon to back us up."
The soldiers faces filled with excitement at the mention of a TITAN.
Kessai continued,
"Also an army of 10,000 Goliath marines will be ariving shortly.I know you have been fighting for a long time,but if you help me and co-operate I will gaurantee all survivers a seat on Exodus.There are 4 dropships 1km back,when the Exodus ships leave Earth's atmosphere,we will retreat to those dropships.Then we will dock one of the spacecraft and you will all be considered heros.If I am wrong,and Khaan chooses to attack the city gate,lets hope our main forces can hold em off."
Kessai's face filled with a surge of determination as he spoke,inspiring the tired soldiers.
"Khaan will be using an energy barrier,so magics useless.Stick to your charge rifles. I'll need a perimiter fence set up,and gather any energy cannons that you can find.Tanks will help.Along the perimiter fence attach some auto-cannons.Whos in charge?"
A few soldiers pointed towards a mound of bullet-ridden bodies,one soldier murmered an answer,
"He's somewhere in there".
Kessai looked towards the ground,his eyes deep with thought.
"Well whos next in command?"
The soldiers talked amoungst themselves,a clueless look filled all of there faces.Kessai rubbed his eyes,frustrated and tired he asked again,
"who?whos next in command?"
"I am."
All faces turned towards a figure standing on a piece of charred metal.Kessai squinted,and then spoke,
"Xybus?Is that you?I thought you were amoungst the main forces?"
The figure stepped closer,and revealed its features.It was a women,but under the bulk of armour it was hard to tell.She was tall and had a large bust.Her hair was tied back in a pony-tail,it was blue-ish in colour,died.An image was painted on her chestplate.It featured an angel,but it was soaked in blood.Roman numerals were rapped around the wings.She aproached Kessai,she seemed more confident than the other soldiers around him.She then began to answer his question,
"Yeah,I would've been,but I kicked some asshole Sergent in the balls.Got me demoted.Now I hang around with this bunch.Not much to look at,but i'd trust them more than those Vultures from Siberous's company."
Xybus circled Kessai as she spoke,there eyes occasionally meeting.
"Heard your speach,hope your wife and daughter are worth all these mens lives"
Kessai grinned,grinning didn't suit him.His face then returned to its usuall blankness.He had known Xybus from before.You could tell he held a great deal of respect for her.
Xybus began to explain the situation and condition of the soldiers,but you could see she was thinking of something else.
"All our tanks our wasted.Energy cannons are plenty,but ammo is scarce.Almost all of our auto-cannons are smashed and all our medics are dead."
Xybus continued to give Kessai the bad news.He seemed concerned but still quetly confident.Kessai thought for a moment,then interupted Xybus,
"Any Neon magic?We could get around Khaan's magic barrier that way"
Xybus looked up at Kessai and then answered excitingly,
"Actually,yes.Im pretty sure we have about 10 of them.Should be enough to hold off his forces until the marines arrive".
Kessai,glanced at Xybus before turning to the soldiers,
"Allright,lets get this show on the road!"
