The Knights of Discord - Warhammer 40k novel

Chapter 17- Tau's final persuit

With their leader a subject of Slaanesh the Tau look to the ethereal council for orders, a problem is that the Tau ethereal are war torn veterans that haven't fought but seen the race fall when fighting, the ethereal council go into a dark state of remeberance as the ones who set their homeworlds alight, the ones who slayed and tortured Tau soldiers, it was the Chaos.
As both groups combine after a sweeping advance through the cities nearly half of the troops have died and more Tau seem to be appearing. Scythrax shouted "lets finish this"
The forces of chaos guard the spires doorway to stop Tau entering, Scythrax gets his terminator guard and stare at the mountainous spire they will have to conquer, Scythrax sees a door like mechanism and starts ramming his claw straight into its structure, the terminators copy this and the door starts to shatter, Scythrax pulls out his pistol and fires a plasma bolt into the door and it crumbles into shards. The terminator lord and his guard rush up the stair like struts and run along corridors,
... z.z.z.zap, Bang!
A chaos terminator falls to his knees and his face has been singed and melted, a terminator adjacent to him turns quickly and penetrates the battlesuit that has emerged from a large ventilation room, the terminator dislodges his power fist from the suit and kicks it with his large greaves.
The stairs seem to be a never ending pathway to glory, the terminators move as quickly as possible to dodge suprise attacks, Suddenly a battlesuit barges into two terminators with meltas in both hands he knocks them down a part of the stairs and it detonates, the kamikaze strike has left only 2 guards left.
The door seems in reach now for the chaos, a broadside suit is perched on a ledge near the door and spots the approaching squad, multiple missiles fly towards the terminators one with a shark fin and plasma surging out of it, a guard dived into this as it would hit Scythrax direct, the guard had sworn to almighty Slaanesh that Scythrax will live to slay for Slaanesh and thus his duty was to keep him alive. The savior terminator had spasms as plasma shocked his body, Scythrax knowing that the terminator died for him charged forward and stabbed he broadside in both arms then plasma pistoled it in the face five times whilst yelling angrily.
Scythrax and the last remaining guard saw the door and smashed a button, the door quickly opened and Scythrax fired his plasma pistol insanely into the room, an ethereals head is forced backwards and it falls down with smoke flying off its face. The honour guard shriek and plunge honour gauntlets into the terminator guard instantly puncturing his armour and also into Scythrax pinning his arms into the walls, Scythrax whails in anger and the head ethereal walks over smuggly and says "So slow and painful or long and torturous".
