Angel War:
Chapter 3: The Ruinous Powers strike back
Angelus entered the bridge and walked up the ramp to the commanding area. "Admiral Teratas" Angelus called out from behind the Admiral. "Ah hello my very...righteous friend" Teratas said as he turned around and looked up into the marines face with no fear or even awe, maybe it had something to do with the chestful of medals, each with the name of a major engagement in his sector or his iron will and determination, but if there was only one human Angelus could choose to fight back-to-back with it would be the Admiral.
Angelus took a seat in the large, comfortable looking chair in the middle of the upper deck. "Give me some information, where are we heading next? Major enemy troop gatherings? Local rebellions needing quelling?" Angelus asked. "No my good Captain, Grand Master Meterion has asked us to move our position over the planet's southern ice-cap and launch an assault, supported with planetary bombardment, against the rebel base located there" the Admiral answered.
"Aren't we worried the barrage and battle will melt the ice-cap?" Angelus asked, bemused. "In war there are casualties, the survivors will adapt or die. It is the way of nature" Teretas responded. "Perhaps" was Angelus' quick reply. "On another note, Captain Matius of 3rd Company is also moving into this system with his crusade fleet to quell the rebellions on the fifth planet from this star" the Admiral continued. "That meddling...Did you tell him to remove his fleets as we do not require any assistance?" "Yes, he said that you could go eat Ork-spoor for all he cares". "Why that little upstart, I have half a mind to teach him a lesson in humility when his forces land" Angelus snarled.
"Sirs, we are coming into range" a tech-priest at a station said in his grating metallic voice. Admiral Teratas nodded and moved back to the forward edge of the upper deck where he could have a perfect view of the lower deck, which was full of servitors, tech-priests and humans working in semi-unison to keep the ship operational.
A view screen, cleverly positioned so that everyone could see it, dropped down and provided a picture perfect view of the planet's ice cap. "Admiral, how are the brothers?" Angelus asked. "All squads are operational, Devastator squad Destructus lost 2 members as artillery fire shelled their positions & Squad Reaver lost 4 battle-brothers as their position was overwhelmed by Traitor Marines, luckily they fell back and support fire cleansed the heretics quickly before they could do too much damage". "Teratas, even one brother lost is too much damage, but we must do it, it is what the Emperor asks for". "Aye" was the only reply.
"Admiral, Captain, we have detected two chaos cruisers in our landing zone" a officer sitting at one of the consoles yelled over his shoulder. "Bring up the Void shields, divert all unnecessary energy to powering up weapon arrays" Teratas ordered. "I better go get the brothers ready" Angelus said calmly. He stood up and was thrown to the deck as the first volley hit the ship. "I SAID VOID SHIELDS UP!" the Admiral roared. "Sir those weren't weapons, they we're...boarding torpedoes...we've been boarded" the first tech-priest said.
Angelus swore, got up and broke into a flat out run heading for his troop's chambers. The corridors of the Advent Glory were full of people running to their positions and klaxons and flashing lights. Half way to the Space Marine quarters Angelus encountered 10 Space Marines standing at a door.
"Brother Jerome, boarding torpedoes full of Chaos filth have anchored onto the hull and are breaking in as we speak" Angelus told the Sergeant. "Aye, we know, the brothers are positioned at every entryway. We are ready" Jerome told the Captain. "Understood brother, continue your vigilance" Angelus patted Jerome on the shoulder pad and left to find his own squad.
Not before long Angelus came to the door his squad-mates were waiting at. "Oh hello, I see you decided to come help us" Ardias said. "Hmm, it was a hard choice, the chair is really comfortable" Angelus joked, referring to the command chair on the upper deck.
Beyond the door they were at was a small hallway then the hull. First the Chaos marines would have to cut through the hull, then they would be into the hall. At that point the doors (which opened by two pieces, one going up and the other half going down) would open a crack and the marines would fire through it and kill as many as possible, then the doors would open fully and they would charge the traitors.
HISSSS, CLANG. The wall fell to the ground and 8 Chaos Space Marines, World Eater Khornate Berserkers by the symbols on their armor charged out holding their axes looking for skulls to be taken. On the other side of the door all 10 marines activated their powerswords, a quiet crackling filled the air, it smelled like ozone. Over the noise the whirring of a chainsword could be heard. Twisting around Angelus saw a scout, crouched among the marines, bolt pistol and chainsword in hand with a sniper rifle over his shoulder.
'Questions later' Angelus thought as the door slid open a few inches. The marines in the front of the group raised their pistols and fired, knocking a few Chaos Marines out of sight, hopefully dead. The doors opened fully and all the Knights Templar rushed through, swords held above their heads, pistols firing.
Without missing a beat the World Eaters charged as well, the first 6 were followed by the two who got up after being shot. Their chain-axes caught with the powerswords and the super-human warriors fought. Minutes later Angelus pushed his powersword through the last traitor's second heart then the dark-marine's first heart.
"Command Squad Angelus has defeated their enemies" Angelus said over the comm. Other squads reported their victories. Apparently all boarding attempts had been repelled. "Angelus, this is Teratas, get over to the bridge! Bring your squad, they might want to hear this," the Admiral said over the comm-net.
The squad jogged to the bridge. On the way there Angelus came over to the Scout and asked "Brother, why are you here?" "I, My squad's position was over run by heretics. They slew all the other scouts; I survived because I was knocked unconscious and left for dead. When the call to arms came I wanted to kill the traitors, no squad would have an inexperienced warrior like myself. Your squad mates let me fight with them," the scout said. "And do you have a name Brother?" Angelus asked. He was sure they were close to the bridge. "Aye, my name is Janus".
The squad walked up the ramp and into the upper deck. "Teratas?" Angelus asked. "The orbital weapons platform is under the traitors command" the Admiral said grimly, "The shields won't hold forever, I suggest disabling it." "It's what I would do. Are we close enough to launch boarding torpedoes?" Angelus questioned the tech-priest at a monitor. "Yes Captain" the machine priest answered.
"Then which squad or squads will take out the platform?" Teratas asked. "We lead by example, my friend. My squad shall go. I'll also take Brother Jerome and Squad Crusade along" Angelus stated. "Understood, the boarding torpedoes will be prepared as soon as possible." "No need, I just realized that we are in teleportation range. We can teleport into the bridge and the engine room, disable both and retreat to the drop pods before all the traitors rush our positions." Angelus said, he hit his open palm with his balled fist, pretending to smash something.
