"Captain, greenskins inbound!" roared brother-sergeant Jalur. "Defensive positions!" shouted Captain Keli in return. The space marine battle-brothers of the Flaming Fists sixth company, The Vengeance Reavers, took cover in demolished buildings, wreckage and even bodies. Captain Keli was a rather tall, black-haired, grey-eyed space marine with two golden studs above his left eyebrow, indicating two centuries of service to the emperor. His armour, and that of the chapter was jet black with orange flames rising up from the shoulder pads and shin pads, torso and helmet.
"Waaagh!" Out of the distance, the space marines hear the battle cry of the orks. "Hold position! Fire on sight!" Ordered Keli. Slowly a white, pearly fog drifted over the remains of the once great city of Frendell, the capital city of the imperial world of Ulixia III. "Captain, greenskins spotted!" Shouted a battle-brother. "Open Fire!" Roared Keli. The space marines opened fire with their bolters without question. The orks of the evil sunz started to appear out of the fog and instantly, three of them fell to ground, dead.
"Captain, missiles inbound!" Reported Sergeant Jalur. "Take cover!" Ordered Keli to his men. It was quick. The ork missiles had impacted where the space marines had been retreating and out of the ten space marines, nine were blown out of existence. The other was critically wounded. "Assault squad, we need help down here!" Reported Captain Keli into his vox channel. "Roger that captain, we will be departing immediately." Said the assault sergeant over his vox.
The space marines fought on while they waited for the assistance of the assault squad. The orks had now doubled their numbers somehow and were coming harder than ever. The space marines did all that they could do against the onslaught of the ork tide and fought not only for the civilisation of Ulixia III, but for their lives. "Captain, get down!" Shouted sergeant Jalur as he leapt in front of the captain as an ork was about to strike him down. Jalur got the full force of the ork's axe and was instantly killed. The captain killed the evil sun with his power-axe. The remaining space marines were being over-whelmed by the ork horde and one by one, they were getting butchered by the orks.
"Commander, where is the assault squad!?" Barked Keli into his vox. "Sir, they definitely departed the ship in a thunder hawk, but we think that they might have got shot down. We have no contact with the thunder hawk or sergeant Jonad." Reported Commander Huji from his battle barge, the Fear. "The greenskins have station AA guns around their settlement. We cannot get any reinforcements through. We are currently trying to contact captain Odin of the first company so that he can come with some terminator squads."
BOOM! An ork missile exploded just in front of Captain Keli, sending him flying backwards into a wall. As he looked around he saw one battle-brother rushing over to him. He looked around for the others but there was only this one left. "Captain, we need to get out of here! Exclaimed the battle-brother. "Brother," Keli started "Brother, ready your weapons for a last stand." "Yes, sir!" Replied the battle-brother. An ork jumped over the piece of building they were taking cover behind. It was about to strike down the two space marines when it completely vanished. The captain looked over and saw something. Something that an ork was locking into his position, ready to fire.
