Chapter 10 the suicide war



General Zarahano starts to speak to his men," well this is my first time to talk to you all so I'm going keep it short. Team when we hit that ground it is going to be all out hell. Don't hesitate shoot were you see the fire coming from. We have no idea were they will be but we landing in an old city to place our men. Five minutes to get ready so load up, pray, and lets kick some ass."

Kantaro stands up "Sir I need to ask you what are these things. I am really new here."

Zarahano speaks "nobody knows what they are. Most think they are the dead. Don't worry to much though son the only advice I can give is don't run just face it and fire."

Kantaro speaks as he pulls out his bolt pistol "Yes sir. I think I will stick with you though because at least you have some idea what's going on."

Zarahano replies "that's fine just keep up with m.." announcements come on over the intercom "attention all troops drop in 1 minute get in position for landing because its gonna be rough".

Zarahano sits into a rap seat and buckles "you better get ready because this is not going to be pretty once we hit."

The area was peaceful for the minute that they hit and ran off guns out ready to shoot but nothing was there as hundreds of thousands of troops hit the ground. All that was there were bodies of hundreds of dead soldiers everywhere.

The general speaks "everybody keep your guard up and set up the gun emplacements we will be needing them trust me. Oh, by the way clean up some of these bodies and get these transport ships orbiting the planet."

The soldiers set up plenty of sandbag emplacements and tank grounds for their many cannons. The men set up tents and throw some bodies to the side to make a kind of wall. Many of the troops were puking and gagging on the wretched stench of decaying bodies and rotten flesh.

The general is sitting at a fire with a few of the troops as they just start sharing war stories and talking around the fire.

One of the soldiers shout "HEY, general our fires going down we need some fuel but nothing around sir"

General says "use the bodies they are dead they don't feel anything. Anyways they already in hell this will be like home sweet home."

Two of the soldiers run over and grab a body hanging off the wall and throw it into the fire. They then hear an ear-shattering scream of pain from the body and the soldiers all jump up. Three of them blast the body to bits as the others start going to get help as the wall of dead starts to get up and move.

Zarahano screams out "Flayed Ones, I have only heard stories thought they weren't real. Well guess they were wrong. BLAST THE WALL NOW AND GET MOVING WE WILL BE INGULFED IN A FIRE FIGHT IF WE AREN"T CAREFUL."

The scene of hundreds of thousands of troops shooting down their so- called dead comrades was horrifying to the new soldiers. Some could only sit and watch, others came under a sort of blood lust and started spraying the wall.

Zarahano screamed as he sliced through one and shot another between the eyes " Troops cut them down now. If you're new of course your scared but I rather fight for my life than die on this planet!"

The battle rages on through the night till morning trying to hold off all of them hundreds of men going down and trying to destroy the entire wall.

The new warrior Kantaro looks around and yells as they kill the last of the wall " Everybody get down they are coming up behind us".

Zarahano slides and hits Kantaro down as the first volley of fire cuts down thousands of troops in seconds. Zarahano jumps in one of the emplacements and yells to Kantaro "RUNNN NOW AND TELL THE MEN AT THE HILL TO CHARGE IN NOW TO THE OTHER SIDE AND TURN THOSE TANKS AROUND. THEY ARE 5 MILES AWAY GO GO GO!!"

Kantaro doesn't ask questions he just turns around and sprints as fast as he can as he hears the heavy bolt guns start launching at the new kind of necron warriors. Sprinting as fast as he can jumping in fox holes when he can and keeping his head low in about an hour he finally makes it and yells to the captain at the top of the hill.

"GET THE TANKS TURNED AND GET THESE MEN DOWN THE HILL. DIRECT ORDERS FROM THE GENERAL AND START A VOLLEY OF CANNON POWER 8 MILES DOWN THIS HILL FROM THE TANKS!!" He screams in desperation.

Captain replies "well what the hell you troops standing around for you heard him get your ass down that hill now".

Kantaro sprints back towards the battle as the war wages. Fire shoots back and forth as the limbs get separated from many and they have only killed a few hundred of the evil warriors. The tanks keep a steady volley over the troops head lighting up the battlefield. He rushes ahead of the massive amounts of men and reaches it first diving into the place were the General is as he sees a green beam rush next to his head and blow the guy behind him in half. He then realizes the general is missing his arm.

Kantaro looks at the general "what do we do sir we are getting mowed down. This is a setup they knew exactly where we were coming from and we need to get out of here."

Zarahano yells over the fire "you need to call the ships before they decide to haul out the heavy cannonsor whatever the hell they have." As he finishes speaking he hands the radio communicator to him. After he hands the communicator to him he stands up to throw a grenade and just as he does a beam comes and blows his head clean off his shoulders as his body hits the ground lifeless in front of the private.

Kantaro calls to the war ships above "give covering fire we need it now and get us out of here we are getting blown away. Coordinates are 002589106.Fire at will I will get as many men as I can to be picked up at the drop point.

The ship captain yells out "Ok we will start our fire good luck to ya down there we will be supplying covering fire."

As he calls out to the remaining troops who jump into fox holes and bunkers near by a volley of fire hits the ground a mile in front of them were the green blasts are coming from blowing hundreds and hundreds away.

Kantaro talks to the captain who is missing his right hand "how many men do we have and how man tanks?"

Captain says back from behind the bunker " We have about 100 men give or take 10. and tanks are gone they sent a volley on them from heavy artillery."

As they finish speaking ten transport ships hit the ground as some space marines run out providing covering fire for them. Kantaro and the captain take off at a full sprint into the ship as the men gather into the one empty one.

Kantaro looks around and sees the general struggling on the ground looks at the bunker and realizes and calls out "bloody hell the guy I was with wasn't the general he moved to a new emplacement

He takes off running towards the general as the last climb into the ship and the space marines call out "go go go get next to him and get an air pick up but keep the gates out of line of fire!"

Kantaro picks up the general and sets him on the ship as they come next to him and the gates shut as it takes off. He looks up and yells to a near by soldier "That ass just left me".

Space marine yells as he launches a lascannon shot into one warrior blowing him to shards of metal. "he was low on fuel get into our pad now we taking off."

Kantaro jumps in and the doors slam as the soldier he was just talking to gets blown into pieces. The plane takes off and Kantaro looks out the window at the other ships as they raise into the air. As he breaks the atmosphere to the leading ship he speaks to the captain on a radio.

Kantaro says gravely "status reports, general and captain injured almost no man left in one piece if they left, 5million came 29 left. The bitch that sent us on this mission I am going to kill. HE SET US UP!!!!"
