IMPERIAL REPORT #09 2016-08-27 0557
The inquisitor without hesitation lunges forward with saber head first towards Protsmeias.
The point of the saber is re-directed by Protsmeias towards the right, the inquisitor gives in, then he rushes forward, striking Protsmeias in the face with the guard of the saber.
I begin looking around for a way of defeating the inquisitor; it is in this moment when I realize that multiple of the newly released prisoners had noticed our presence. Multiple of them began heading towards our position.
I figured I would only be an impediment in the fight between Protsmeias and the inquisitor thus I decide to deal with the now moving towards us enemies.
Protsmeias and the inquisitor fight at a stunning speed; I can barely follow their movements.
I get up from the ground, take my pulse carbine and get ready to open fire upon the incoming enemies, there are many of them, but I have even more ammo.
Thankfully there is an okay distance between them and me.
*Pshuuumm, Pshuuuuum*
The pulse carbine is very accurate and has very little recoil, however its rate of fire doesn't help at all, I can only fire once or twice every second.
The first shot hits in the chest a man with tentacles that had grown out of his back, he falls flat on the floor after the first shot, the pulse rifle does some very powerful damage, it drilled a hole in the man's flesh with no problem, in fact it even kept going after penetrating the man and exiting his body, however the tentacles seem to keep moving, regardless I go to the next target.
The next target is a woman with her eyes blindfolded, however it was as if she could smell me, she walked towards me fairly slow, I took my time to aim and then *Pshuuuuum* I shot her right in the middle of the head, her head exploding like a balloon splattered anyone nearby, then her body collapsed and hit the floor, however she was far from dead, from the empty hole that once was her head ripped a new pair of tentacles, slowly making their way out of the fleshy mess I had done. I had no time to finish my enemies, I had to move to my next target, they were too many, and I was only one, and they all were moving towards me.
This was the moment I realized the space bugs also began mobilizing inside the room, slowly they began creeping in, all kinds of them poured in the room, slaughtering everyone. I had no time to waste I needed to get out of there.
I keep firing and the incoming enemies when I hear Tih screaming, I turn around to see Tih pinned against a wall by some sort of huge humanoid, he was a space marine, but his armor… it was covered in spikes, he was not a regular space marine, I turn the direction of my body giving my back towards the incoming enemies and fire at the hulking monstrosity pinning Tih, the being doesn't even notice, each shot leaves a severe burn on his armor, but doesn't manage to penetrate.
Tih makes eye contact with me, all I can feel is the immense need of having to do something but my weapon proved completely useless, then a thought comes to me.
"The power sword, I can make it in time and destroy this foe"
The space marine lifts with his right hand a huge axe ready to strike the killing blow.
I drop the pulse carbine and rush towards the monstrosity as fast as I can; as I make my way towards the huge humanoid like being I grasp the hilt of the power sword, unsheathing it.
I take the hilt of the power sword into both hands and raise it over my head, as I approach the monster I begin getting filled with fear, no, not fear it is terror, this "thing" is over twice my height, as I grow ever closer to the monster I realize more and more the huge difference in height between him and me.
However this is no time to feel regret, the momentum of me running towards the monster could not be stopped, the weight of the power sword in my hand pulling me ever forward, the body shaking in fear of my ally.
I aim carefully at the intersection between the leg and the waist of the monster's armor
Aiming for his leg is simple, since he is twice my height.
*GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH*
I let a scream out which tears my vocal cords.
The sword filled with the precious momentum of my rush to reach the monster cuts without any problem the leg off the marine, the marine with no longer a leg to stand on drops to the floor, he finally seems to notice me. He begins moving on the floor.
"What is this?" I ask myself
"WHAT IS THIS?"
All I can see in front of my eyes is Tih, his helmet shattered to pieces, his face completely disfigured and covered in blood.
Even though I rushed towards my foe, even though I managed to bring him down, even then I still failed.
Something strange begins filling me, what fills me is not sorrow, it is not pain, it is something which is urging me to rip apart this thing which killed my friend, it is not anger, it is not disappointment.
It just simply is… Frustration and fury.
I walk towards the now laying on the floor monster, I invert the grip on the sword so it is pointing towards the floor, I aim at the neck of the man, and swiftly descend on his neck.
But it is not enough, this is not enough, I have to make this monster understand the fury I am feeling.
I remove the sword from the monster's neck and plunge it in again, and again and again until the monster no longer has a neck, now all that remains of the monster is a corpse without head or leg.
I come back to my senses and realize that the battle is still going on, I need to help my still standing ally, I absolutely must.
The prisoners have gotten considerably closer to me, thankfully they are human sized, and now I can clearly see how incredibly horrendous they are but it doesn't matter, I am filled with a strange determination, I have to help my ally,
I move forward, I raise the sword diagonally over my head, my first enemy attempts to block the sword with his arm, my sword descends at a brutal speed, cutting the arm of my enemy, then strikes a side of his neck and cuts all the way to his armpit.
Another enemy moves closer to me, it has tentacles that ripped through its arms, it throws his tentacles at me in an attempt to grab me but I do not allow it and cut the tentacle in half, then I close the distance between him and me and stab him in the belly, then I pull the sword out and cut his head off.
Soon I get tired, my arm fatigued, the power sword is still very heavy and is quite an effort to lift. More enemies are still coming, but I get a breather, in this moment I decide the wisest course of action would be to sheath the power sword and use the pulse carbine instead before I get completely fatigued.
I follow my own plan, sheath the sword and recover my pulse carbine and carry on fighting with the pulse carbine.
Suddenly a voice comes through the loud speakers "Oxygen supply will deplete in… 5 minutes"
I turn around to look at Protsmeias, and then I witness how the inquisitor finds a gap in the armor of Protsmeias and stabs him through it.
Protsmeias stops moving.
The inquisitor stabbed Protsmeias roughly around the heart.
Then he pulls out the sword from Protsmeias's body. I am frozen in place; I can't move at all, my body does not respond, my mind goes blank. All I can do is watch.
Protsmeias's lifeless body falls to the ground, and then the inquisitor looks at me and begins laughing.
"Fuahahahhahahhahahh" "Kekekehehehheheh"
"Do you see it now? This is the fate of all traitors" he says.
I notice something moving behind him, but I cannot see it clearly.
As it gets ever closer I notice it was another space marine, much like the last it was twice the height of the inquisitor.
It grabs the inquisitor by surprise and begins pulling from his head and legs.
*AGHHHHHHHH* AGGGGGGGG* *AHHHHHHHHH*
The inquisitor screams in agony as his body slowly begins tearing apart.
His body rips at his waist, separating his upper torso from the waist down.
The monster throws aside the now ripped in half body of the inquisitor, it is in this moment I realize I need to run for my life.
The space bugs seemed to have eaten most prisoners and now all of them begin noticing my presence.
I grab the pulse carbine incredibly tightly then I turn around and run, I run past Tih's body and head down towards where Tih was leading us.
I run as fast as my shaking legs allow me to.
The loud speakers begin emitting a message as I run "Oxygen supply will run out in… 2 minutes"
I turn around as I run and see the huge marine which ripped the inquisitor in half being completely overrun by the ever increasing amount of Tyranids.
As I run away something grabs me, I cannot see what has grabbed me, but a deathly fear comes upon me. Whatever grabbed me is pulling with an amazing strength, it drags me until I fall to the floor, then it keeps on dragging me across the ground without any problem.
I can see some sort of gate close in front of me as it drags me ever further away.
I stop moving, I am no longer being dragged. My head feels heavy; I remain still for a couple of seconds and try to process everything that happened.
I slowly get up and look for whatever had dragged me here.
I raise my head slowly, first I see armoured feet, as I pull my head ever higher I see an armoured torso of a person more or less my size, I keep raising my head until I can see the face of whoever saved me, but I cant.
The person is giving me its back.
A woman's voice which sounded strangely familiar said "Have you secured the objective?"
The person in front of me replied as well with a woman's voice "Yes, but he is carrying… heretical weaponry, we must purge him"
The familiar voice replied "Do not forget your position, I am in command here, and I decide what we "must" do"
The familiar voice said in a lower tone "Pilot, we are ready, get us out of here"
I felt a strange sensation, almost as if the place I was in was moving.
The person in front of me, moves to a side and sits down, I can now see the person is wearing a helmet.
Then I noticed there where many people in the room, all of them staring at me.
Then I see the female inquisitor and she says "Hello sweetheart, I hope it wasn't too bumpy a ride for you" while letting out a huge grin.
All I can feel is despair, I am quite literally covered in green fluids and blood, while at the same time wearing and using weapons I "Borrowed" from the ships armoury and she says she hopes it wasn't to bumpy a ride for me.
I stand up on my feet and the female inquisitor says "Take a seat sweetie, I'm certain you are tired" while signalling me to sit in the empty seat in front of her
As I make my way pass the other people in the room they all give me strange looks, some filled with curiosity others with disgust others with pride.
I reach the seat she signalled me to take and followed her order; I sit in front of her. While I sit down I can see in her face she is pleased, or maybe not, quite honestly I don't even know anymore what goes through her head.
The other people in the room begin whispering, I cannot make out what they are talking about.
Abruptly the inquisitor interrupts my concentration and says "I want you to keep your eyes on me"
I swallow saliva down my throat, and grow ever more nervous. I hold the pulse carbine tightly in my hands.
"I see you have grown quite attached to that pulse carbine" she says.
She keeps talking "Are you aware that you are using alien weapons?"
I do not answer, I do not want to answer, I am still thinking of Tih and Protsmeias.
She provokingly says "Did you become mute? What a pity, you had such a nice voice"
"I am aware you have been roaming the ship with two other people, do you know who they were?" she said
This words ring in my ears sweetly, maybe I will finally get answers.
I reply "No, I do not know who they were"
"Ahhh so you are not mute, good"
She continued "Remove your helmet"
I reluctantly removed my helmet, knowing that if I did not do it willingly she would do it for me.
She looks at my face, grinning ever more intensely.
She then gets up from her seat and sits next to me;
The first thing she does is press her nose on my neck she begins smelling me. She then moves her head back and gently places a hand in my cheek and caresses it gently, slowly allowing her cold as death fingers to move up and down across my face, while she did this I could not tell whether she was laughing, grinning or smiling.
However this was the first time I managed to take a good look at her face, while she seemed distracted touching me, I analysed her facial features
She had a scar that went all the way from her eye to her cheek, however it was not as intense as you might imagine, it was more like a slight red line, her hair is black, her face seems to possess some very straight angles, and her cheeks seemed to be quite straight as well.
As she grew ever closer to me I noticed her eyes looked almost black, however they were very dark brown, her eyebrows seemed very small, they were small lines of hair which were almost invisible. Her lips were a very gentle tone of pink, and looked very soft, they were not prominent; however they were not subtle either.
Her hair was tied in a ponytail behind her head, the hair dropped down to reach her shoulders.
She then re-positioned her fingers on my face; she moved her fingers away from my cheek and on top of my lips and slowly but steadily pressed them softly, gently moving her fingers from left to right.
At this point I was incredibly nervous, she looked at me as if she was going to eat me, and besides I have no experience with woman, so I found this situation quite terrifying.
It was strange, in this brief moment of me staring at her face and her eyes fixated in my lips I forgot about everything that happened. In a way I had found a small speck of peace in this hell.
