Ina awoke first. In the lobby of the building. The last she remembered was a blinding flash and now waking up here. Ina looked around, several Sisters were also waking up. "All squads, report." Her vox unit chimed with responses. All the Sisters squads were coming to, with minimal injuries. All but the Seraphs. Ina activated her vox again and yelled into it. "All Seraphims report! Minda, Nicole, Jess! Report!"
"Daemons in the upper floors! They are appearing from nowhere!" came the reply from Minda, the most senior Seraph in the company. Her signal was cluttered with bolter fire and screams. Ina hesitated only a second. "Fall back! We must regroup. I say again, Fall back!" Her signal was filled with static, and if she strained her ears, she thought she could hear the sounds of fighting from the floors above. "All squads, move to my position. We are under attack."
Within minutes, 40 Battle Sisters and their Superiors were being led up the stairs by their Canones. Ina had left one squad to guard their rear, and was adamant to save her Seraphs.
They didn't encounter the first daemon until the force was halfway up the stairs. A deamonette burst through the door and charged Ina. She felled the creature with a single swing of her sword and continued climbing the stairs. Now the sound of bolter fire was almost deafening.
Ina burst through the door the second highest floor and fired as she charged several daemons. They turned and charged her but were cut down as the Sisters fired into them. Bolter rounds were filling the air as the fight escalated, when Ina's vox.
"Canones! We are being overrun. We are falling back to the upper levels. I've lost three Sisters. The warp spawns dragged them away." That was Sister Superior Mila. She commanded the squad Ina had left to guard the bottom floor. If she was being assaulted then they were surrounded. "Sisters. Fight on! For the Emperor!"
Ina charged the nearest daemon and when it turned to meet her she severed its head with little effort. Three more daemonettes were running at her and tackled her to the floor. She struggled with all her might but to no avail. She felt a slight prick of a needle in her neck and the world started to go dark.
As she lost consciousness her company was suffering the same fate. Each Sister, no mater how valiantly they fought, were overwhelmed by the sheer number of their foes.
The daemonettes were still in a fury when their leader walked into where the Soroitas were captured. Her lips curled into a smile, revealing her sharp teeth. "Take them all to my ship. Lord Slaanesh will be pleased."
