Chapter 4: Revelations
POV: Call sign 'Gideon'
Unknown time+2 hours
Unknown place
I slowed my demonic pace down as I approached the sandstone valley. I slipped off my LMG from my back, unfolding it and crouching down next to the entrance. I sighted down it to check for hostiles. My HUD indicated the position of the last objective at 300 meters to my left. I walked at a slow crouch, my gun out and ready. As I made my cautious way along, my HUD flared again. In red, text began to scroll across my vision.
TIER 1 THREAT DETECTED.
All my senses went into overdrive immediately. I got up from my crouch, walking purposefully, sweeping the corners, a full 360, 180 swivel. I reached the objective and turned in to see a passage, which lead to a huge open space, with a large cavern set into it. Standing in front of the cave entrance stood an eight foot tall human in some kind of power armour painted a dark blue, with a golden winged skull ringed with an upside-down omega on his chestplate. He had a huge machine-gun like pistol in hand. My HUD immediately lit up as facial-recog scanned him.
CAPTAIN TITUS, COMMANDER, 2ND COMPANY, ULTRAMARINES.
He immediately tensed up. I reached out with my strange power and tossed him into a nearby wall. Then I shot him in the face with a blast of lightning. His vitals sank to the point of unconsciousness. Tough bastard.
I swapped out for my pistol as I entered the cave. My HUD immediately highlighted a shrouded figure in red.
TIER 1 THREAT.
I saw to figures on the ground, covered with some kind of shawl.
'Step away from them right now!' I ordered. The cloaked figure put up his hands as he slowly turned around.
I caught a glance of a reptillian face when my facial-recog immediately kicked in.
SPECTRE SAREN ARTERIUS.
A gun immediately appeared in his hands as he pointed it at me.
AND I'M BACKK!
Sorry for the inordinate delay in updates, RL and my own novel have been driving me mad, glad to get this out off my head!
