Emishi-o ran across the compound in the pouring rain her armor helped her keep her footing in the slippery mud below she charged inside and ran down the hallway towards Kai-ui's office she dodged and weaved through the scientists who were unlucky enough to be in her path she bowled two over as they left a room. Emishi-o Charged into Kai-ui's office waking him from his sleep Emishi-o stood in front of him as she tried to catch her breath "I know what she is….." Emishi-o gasped for air "she's an assassin" Kai-ui sat up in his seat "how can you be sure?" he replied trying to make sense of what she just said, Emishi-o had recovered her breath and replied "several years ago there were experiments done on tau orphans, they did this so they would be able to send them out to assassinate enemy commanders during a battle, there blood was full of Nan-cites so they could heal quicker there adrenalin glands were larger than other tau's so they could push themselves further than others and so they felt less pain, that's why it took so long for Ikaria to feel that she had been hit. Several of these trained assassins went missing about the same time as the Tyranids started to invade, due to the severity of the experiments most of them lost their memories and only show their strength when there are under a lot of stress." Kai-ui sat in his chair his mind boggling on this development. His thoughts ran wild "did the spacemarines know this? Did they use her as there tool for destruction? Or was she playing them? Was she acting as a double agent for the spacemarines?"

Emishi-o spoke up as Kai-ui seemed miles away in thought, "should we tell Shova-Tas?" Kai-ui eyes shot up "Are you mad she has been through years of torture only to be held in captivity, were not going to tell him he'd only send her to some lab to be tested and tortured no one else is to know this besides us!" he yelled, Emishi-o nodded in acknowledgment. "So what are we going to do with her?" Emishi-o asked, "Nothing!" Kai-ui snapped back, their conversation stopped as they saw that the sun was rising, "they will be attacking soon and this is a gift from Shova-Tas for your rescue, do you like it?" Emishi-o said as she put her helmet on, Kai-ui had been too occupied to realize that Emishi-o was wearing the new experimental armor the XV-22 it was sleeker than her old armor her neck joints were shielded by armored plates her whole body was protected by the newest technology the Tau had to offer. Kai-ui looked over the armor with great attention, suddenly Emishi-o yelled "GET DOWN!" she dove down onto Kai-ui as heavy bolter rounds smashed through his window hitting his communications drone, "there trying to take out our communication" Kai-ui said as they crawled to the door.

Once they had reached the hallway they stood up and ran to the exit Kai-ui quickly put his helmet on and charged his carbine preparing to meet any enemies outside, they burst out the door into the compound to see smoke rising from some of their defenses' the Firewarriors were firing back in coordinated volleys their rounds flying into the ranks of the spacemarines that charged towards them, over head they heard a screaming noise as the Drone fighters pursued landspeeder's that were swooping low, as they passed the land speeders fired their assault cannons the rounds ripping apart Firewarriors as they headed for cover their blood covering the ground that they were once standing on, the drone fighters retaliated by shredding one of the landspeeder's with their heavy burst cannons their rounds ripped into the exhausts of the landspeeder igniting its weapon stores the land speeder exploded showing wreckage onto the spacemarines below the fiery debris crushing some of the spacemarines as they ran for cover the Firewarriors cheered as they watched.

Kai-ui ran over to the infirmary as he saw Ikaria watching the battle through her room's window, he charged into her room startling her, she screamed as he pulled her away from it her pulse was racing as she looked at Kai-ui, she placed her hands on either side of his helmet and removed it, she could see that Kai-ui was worried she pulled him closer till her lips met his, she pulled back and put his helmet back on "I won't watch anymore, ok? And I'll stay safe you just do the same" she whispered, he nodded and stood up he hit a button on the side of the window a metal stutter rolled down as it closed the sound of the outside battle disappeared the infirmary was quiet, he picked up his carbine and headed for the door. As he ran through the grounds he headed towards were Emishi-O was firing from she saw him approach she yelled down to him "if you have a surprise for them now would be a good time there dreadnought just arrived we ne..." her words were cut short as rounds from the dreadnoughts assault cannon shredded the wall she was kneeling behind Emishi-o hit the ground with a loud thud as the debris of the wall came falling down onto her Kai-ui flung himself over her body.

The debris rained hard down of him, he sat up too see Emishi-o looking up at him smiling, "let me take that bastard down, ok?" she closed the face plate of her helmet that had been forced open by a round. She started running back to the wall she was standing behind she jumped through the hole that had been created, she dove into the jungle unseen by any spacemarine, she watched as the dreadnought turned to face more Firewarriors its assault cannon spitting death onto the compound "that's enough of your attitude for today" she said as she rose both of her new fusion blasters she fired the back blast caused her arms to jerk back as the projectiles of pure energy flew towards her target the rounds plowed into the back and side of the dreadnought a round ripped off his left arm as the second tore its way through the metal sheets the round exploded inside destroying the dreadnought in a fiery blast engulfing several spacemarines that were standing near it.

Emishi-o ducked as bits of wreckage hit the trees around her. one stopping several inches from her head in a tree, she ran back to the compound and dove back through the hole, she looked up to see Kai-ui firing at the spacemarines that still continued to attack two of his shots beheaded spacemarine that had a heavy bolter, Kai-ui looked down at Emishi-O and yelled "here's my surprise" he raised his hand to his communicator on his ear and spoke softly.

Emishi-o looked up as the sky started to part as two huge beams of energy tore their way through the clouds striking at the main force of the spacemarine's that were charging. the blast tore them apart in a blinding flash of white the spacemarines that were closer to the compound looked behind them in shock as they saw most of the brothers getting turned into ash by this beam that came out of nowhere, they quickly turned around to continue their charge, suddenly the space marine at the front was blasted apart by fire that came from his side several more high energy blasts flew out of nowhere and struck a few more marines, the Firewarriors looked on with astonishment as the last few Spacemarines were dealt with.

Emishi-o looked at Kai-ui and removed her helmet she was staring at him with a huge smile on her face "We did it we survived who was that that got rid of the last few?" she yelled at him "reveal yourself" Kai-ui said into his communicator three just noticeable trails of fire were visible as they flew over the defensive wall Emishi-o felt three thuds as something landed next to her she looked to her left to see the air next to her rippling "Deactivate your Stealth fields boys" Emishi-o said as she realised who they were "I guess we can do that commander" a voice said from behind her the air stopped rippling and three stealth suits were revealed there brown armor was large and bulky but they had jet packs so they could move a lot quicker through the battlefield his right arm had a fusion blaster attached and the other two had burst cannons. Emishi-o smiled and laughed as she said to Kai-ui "You must have pulled in one big favor."
