Varus the captain of the second company was standing some way away from behind the gates. They were the only entrance through the large wall which surrounded the fortress-monastery. He was wearing Terminator armour and had an Assault Cannon in his left hand and a Power Fist in his right hand. For some reason many of the anti-air turrets were not working. Varus could only guess that that was because they haven't been used in a while but in the back of his mind he couldn't help thinking that they were sabotaged.
Then without warning the gates exploded with green bolts of lightning flying in all directions. Squadrons of Necron fighters flew above, shooting the turrets and tanks and others were teleporting troops from glowing orbs beneath the craft to the middle of the space marines. There were Necron Warriors, Scarabs and Immortals marching up from the gates and Flayered Ones, Lychguards, Wraiths and Triarch Praetorians being teleported in.
Varus saw a nearby Wraith to his left and shot it multiple times with his assault cannon then seeing a flayered one from the corner of his eye creeping up on him, he turned and back-handed it with his Power Fist. Then a Lychguard charged him with its warscythe. Varus raised his Assault Cannon and shot the Necron before stepping forwards and slamming his Power Fist into its head.
One of the fighters flew above the battle field and teleported a Triarch Praetorian behind Varus. It was about to swing its axe at him when he turned and blocked it with his Assault Cannon and then struck him with an uppercut with his Power Fist. Varus was about to help another Space Marine being attacked by a Wraith when a bolt of lightning hit him in the back making him stumble. Varus turned around and saw the Necron Overlord. It looked almost like a normal Necron except it had golden outlining on its shoulders, head, chest, hands and feet. It held a warscythe which had more blades producing from the staff then most warscythes and it also had golden lines and patterns on it. But around its waist it carried seven heads. Varus recognized them as the heads of the five missing company captains as well as Lander's head and Wrex's head. Swelling with rage Varus charged.
Varus dodged and blocked the first few swings of the Necron Overlord but he was slower in his Terminator armour and eventually he got hit. No matter what he tried mothering could even hit the Overlord. Side swings, uppercuts, forward punches, he tried hitting it with his Assault Cannon and shooting it but the Overlord just chopped it in half. After a minute of fighting the Overlord stabbed Varus in the stomach, right between his belt and his chest plate. But that wasn't all and lightning came from the blades while they were still inside Varus. The Overlord then ripped out his warscythe and with one strike, decapitated his head off.
Javosk had arranged the Guardsmen into small fortresses with ten Space Marines in each. There were ten small fortresses in all and he had hoped that they would have been strong enough to hold off the enemy until reinforcements arrived. But this wasn't the case as a large group of Necrons were marching around, going from one fortress to another. After they had destroyed five fortresses Javosk called all of the Space Marines and Guardsmen to make their way to him. Only four made it as one of them were intercepted by the large group of Necrons. Now Javosk stood on top of a ruined Lemon Russ Tank, firing his Plasma Gun and shouting orders to the remaining Space Marines and Guardsmen.
"Keep firing! Keep firing!" Javosk shouted over the explosions and gun fires. "Reinforcements are coming, just a little while longer."
"Sir" shouted a lieutenant to Javosk. "We have reports that the Necrons have killed Captain Wrex and Captain Varus. They are now assaulting the fortress monastery" he finished.
"There's nothing we can do for them. Keep Firing!" shouted back Javosk. They continued to fight, tanks shot missiles at clusters of Necrons, Space Marines fired and fired at the Necrons who had surrounded the base and Javosk shot Necrons in the head with his Plasma Gun one after another. Through the sounds of battle Javosk suddenly realised that his vox-communicator was beeping so he climbed down behind the ruined tank and put his finger to his hear.
"Captain Javosk, are you there" shouted Inquisitor Anders.
"I am here Inquisitor, the Necrons are attacking" shouted Javosk over the sound of battle. "Their whole fleet is in the atmosphere attacking the city."
"What of the other marines Captain" she asked.
"Wrex and Varus are dead Inquisitor, as well as their marines. As far as we know Captain Adosh and Chapter Master Corves are alive but the Necrons are focusing their attack there" said Javosk.
"We are preparing the teleporter to pick you up. Stand strong Captain, Inquisitor Anders out" she said. Javosk climbed back up the tank and continued to fight but at the same time, the Necrons were marching into the Fortress Monastery.
