Ferrion walked onto the blood covered streets tired and slow. The battle went well all things considered. He just didn't see it coming all that hope and work now being tossed aside. Creed had been reassigned due to another attack on the Cadion gates. And Gaunt was M.I.A so some by the book Lord Commander to over the Battle, This was a war against Tyranids and "by the book tactics weren't going to work. So now here Ferrion was alone limping to a trench yet again with out a unit to command or inspire. It's a lot easier to fight when you have to worry about others courage besides your own…...simpler in a way.
"INCOMING!" a voice yelled out of a hole
ferrion turned just in time to see dozens of Hormagaunts get dropped of by a Hive tyrant. He was surprised not only by how rapidly the forces at the outer habs to the south had fallen but there there were people left alive in the city. Dozens of men came running out of the cracks and engaged the Hormagaunts fighting like savage beasts themselves. Ferrion drew his boltgun and let the cold but holy steel fly piercing the hard Armor of the savage beasts. When his clip ran dry he grabbed his power sword and ran forward yelling a prayer of protection. To his surprise it had a mixed result it worked but also didn't work he was stuck by a gaunt but it barely missed anything vital he was wounded but spared and this was for a reason the Emperor needed him in a few minutes to be like this. He got up using his power sword as a crutch he was able to lead the Colonist in victory.
"Are are you a real Commissar?" one of the asked as they made their way to the final guard position
"Yes not that it matters there's no need for my moral boosting techniques you're fighting for your home thats all the incentive you need." Ferrion replied struggling to keep straight.
When they arrived Ferrison was sent to a medical bunker. The swarm caught up to them and the fighting soon began again. Intense anxiety was felt amongst the dying troops when would the order to fall back come would it come how long would they be safe from the tyranid swarm. Ferrion got up and grabbed a Heavy bolter and joined the shooting. Yells of fear and painc wear coming in from all directions even on the Vox.
"Where are the Melta charges!?" a heavy weapons Officer asked into the vox "I Need the Goddam! Melta Charges!"
"In the aux Bunker we were modifying them hurry the line is collapsing." A voice Ferrion had no ideas who responded.
Ferrion told the Guardsman manning the Gun with him to turn it towards the bunker and they began providing fire for the Demo team. "Click,Click,Click,Click The gun stopped firing Ferrion tuned to see what had happened to his Ammo feeder. He saw the Warrior pick up the corpse and flung it around like a toy. Ferrion stood only able to stare as the Xenos slithered towards him knowing death was close Ferrion let loose a prayer of forgiveness for not being able to kill more before his death. Then a running Guardsman ran into the beast drawing away it's attention Ferrion used these few seconds to grab a abandoned Hellpistol he was going with a fight. He looked around for new targets he noticed that the men were falling back again no more Ferrion thought he was done running he would hold this holy ground. This was the Emperor's land and if he sought to bless it in there blood then that was his wish. A few of the Guardsman noticed the wounded Commissar fighting despite his wounds this made them change their mind. The route was stopped and the counter attack began seconds apart. The men of the 3 Guard Regiments fought bravely and so did Ferrison in honor of the 569th. Finally his use was up he was stuck down by a Terrogaunt before he bled out he looked in the Sky Space Marines Drop pods were falling from the sky.
The ression no one ordered a fall back was because Space Marines were inbound and the second fall back point was there drop point had the Guardsman fallen back there would have been slaughtered and the space marines would have dropped into the center of a swarm. This was all stopped by a wounded Commissar this is why The emperor saw fit to wounded but not kill Ferrion so he could inspire the routing Guard and with his death the 569th had ended it's final Glorious last stand.
