Chapter 1
Baedeus`s footsteps clambered through out the Spacehulk as he walked around in the Generator Room. He looked back at his small Squadron of Marines who had joined him on this Suicide Mission.
"Auspex is picking up sixteen Tyranid Targets sir" A Scout Marine said through the vox as he turned to watch his Back.
"Jogaten any signs of the Imperial Fist Squadron? Baedeus asked turning to face a Marine clad in bright Green and White Power armor. The Brethren of Terra a great Chapter one that had faced the Tyranid Fleet Behemoth in battle head on many times.
"No Chapter Master" Jogaten replied gripping his Plasma gun as he steadied himself on the Platform. The Brethren of Terra were sent in to destroy a Space Hulk carrying a large force of Tyranids on board. They were on a collision course to Terra. Hive Fleet Omega it was named by the Imperium after it destroyed a Whole Sector.
"Sir picking up another twenty Tyranids on my Auspex" The Scout Marine replied his face stern with eagerness to fight. The Marines were hand-picked by Baedeus himself to come with him on this mission.
"36 Tyranids in one area?" Jogaten asked as he signaled four other Marines to move forward.
The First Marine was Brother Jeto a marine clad in Terminator armor armed with a Storm Bolter and a Chainfist. The Second Marine was Brother Kayvaan a Marine who had fought against the Tyranid`s over forty Years. The Third Marine was Brother Xeria a Marine clad in Power Armor with a Melta gun. The last Marine was Brother Jericho a marine who held a Heavy Bolter with ease as he prepared to fight the Endless swarm. The Scouts name was Fabimos a marine who trained the Scouts in fighting in Urban Areas. He held a shotgun in his hand along with a Plasma pistol as a sidearm with a chainsword attached to his hip.
"Sir I see one of them" Jeto voxed aiming his storm bolter at a dark Corner that was concealed from the rest of the room. Jeto moved forward carefully getting ready to fire at the Tyranid or whatever Xenos it was. He ducked as a small figure jumped out of the Corner and landed next to Jogaten who fired his Plasma gun at the thing hitting in its Carapace covered back. The Hormagaunt twisted its body as it charged at Jeto its Claws shining in the Dark. Jeto fired six shots from his storm bolter each one hitting its Hormagaunt collapsed as the Bolts detonated sending Carapace and skull fragments into the air.
" Sir I`m picking up another sixteen Tyranids in the area" Fabimos said as he turned back to the Hall aiming his shotgun that way.
" Get ready men, the Tyranids were sure to hear the Shots" Jogaten replied tapping his Auspex with his finger. Right on time a Hormagaunt threw himself at Jeto but was met with a blast from the Storm bolter that sent it to the ground with a thud. Xeria fired at a Hormagaunt as it charged him the melta shot turned the Hormagaunts head into ash as it fell to the ground twisted.
"Frag it! There's more on the way!" Baedeus yelled slicing into the thick Carapace of one of the Hormagaunts as it launched itself at him. He chopped through the Xenos body with his Chainsword as he fired a few shots from his Bolt pistol into the Xeno`s head.
" A little assistance Brother" Jericho yelled as two Hormagaunts landed on his Heavy Bolter forcing him to drop it. He grabbed his chainsword and swung cutting a bloody gash across the first Hormagaunts throat before stabbing deep into the Creature's chest before it finally fell dead with a thud. Kayvaan gripped his Power axe with both hands as he chopped a Hormagaunt in half with a single blow to the chest. " For the Emperor!" He screamed as the Tyranids blood soaked into his armor and into the dents and scars from previous Battles. He swung again taking a Hormagaunts head off.
"Sir There's a Dining area to the East, I think we could make it" Fabimos yelled firing a shot from his shotgun into a Hormagaunts chest before drawing his Plasma pistol and finishing it off with a shot to the Head. Jericho nodded in agreement before firing a burst from his heavy Bolter into a Hormagaunt shredding it into a pulp of Gore and skull matter. Kayvaan sliced another Hormagaunt in half as it launched itself at him clawing at his armor denting in his Shoulder Plate.
"Then move towards it" Baedeus yelled firing another eight Shells into a Hormagaunt as it rushed him. The Tyranid crumbled as the Shells exploded crushing its skull. Jeto tore a Hormagaunt in half as it charged him. He fired his storm bolter at another one hitting it right in the face killing it instantly. Jericho blasted another Tyranid as it fell out of a air duct and landed squarely in front of him. Fabimos fired another shot from his shotgun tearing another Hormagaunt apart. Baedeus sliced another Tyranid in half as they kept coming out of the Air ducts.
"Move now!" Jogaten screamed over the sound of Bolts exploding. Jogaten watched as the rest of the squad moved towards the Hall and left Jogaten to fend for himself. He fired at a Hormagaunt with his plasma gun hitting the Tyranid squarely in the chest cutting through the Xeno`s ribs. Jogaten stomped another Hormagaunt into the ground with his Massive boot as they swarmed over him. He dropped his Plasma gun as two Hormagaunts latched onto his left arm clawing through the power armor within seconds. Jogaten grabbed his chainsword and swung with his right arm but only made a slight gash across one of the Tyranids chest. He fell to one knee as the Hormagaunts tore his left arm off with one powerful pull. He cried out in pain as the Hormagaunts started to claw through his stomach Armor and reach his flesh tearing through that. He stood up and threw one of the Hormagaunts off of him before punching the other in the chest breaking the Ribs of the Xenos.
"No!" Kayvaan yelled as he watched Jogaten fall to the floor one last time as four more Hormagaunts jumped on his back digging into his neck soft armor killing him once and for all. Kayvaan moved into the Hall as the door screeched open and the rest of the Marines stepped in.
Baedeus trained his gun on the incoming Hormagaunts but none made it to the hall before the door slammed close with a loud thud.
"May the Emperor never forget his Sacrifice" Jeto said through the vox his voice saddened by his Brothers death.
"What's our next plan of action" Jericho asked shaking his head at Jogaten and his Sacrifice for the team.
"We move to the last known area of the Imperial Fist squad and if they're all dead we move to eliminate this Threat ourselves" Baedeus said as he slammed a fresh clip into his bolt pistol. "And if their still alive we get them off this ship and then we eliminate this threat".
"Sounds good Chapter Master" Jeto replied as he stared at Xeria who was silent.
"We shouldn't be on this ship with so few numbers" Fabimos said reloading his shotgun with a click.
"We should try to contact our Fleet or Inquisitor Hoth" Xeria said finally his face stern with anger as he thought about the Future on this ship if every battle was like that.
"That is not an option" Baedeus replied shaking the thought of being a coward from his mind. "Let's move out now brothers every dead Tyranid means another avenged brother!". the Squad reloaded and moved towards a door a got ready training their weapons on the Door. It started to open and they could already see the Feet of a creature waiting for them on the other side.
