Crisis on Ulixia III (Discontinued)

Chapter 3

BLAM! BLAM BLAM! The sounds of las gun and bolter fire soon filled the air. "GIVE IT ALL YOU'VE GOT!" An Astartes sergeant said the nearby shock troopers and his squad of terminators. "Waaagh!" The orks were charging the factory. The defenders had held off attacks for a month but they had slowly lost precious troops each time. The orks had slowly worn them down. What the orks didn't know was that it had just been reinforced by the entire first company of the flaming fists space marine chapter, all equipped in indomitus tactical dreadnought armour.

"GET DOSE BURNAZ UP DERE BOYZ!" The ork warboss was saying. The orks moved their flame throwers which the called 'burnaz' up to the front of the mob. "RELEASE VOLLEY!" Odin roared. The space marine terminators opened fire as one and most of the Burna boyz became a horrible green and red mush. "Open the gate!" A assault terminator sergeant ordered to the guards. The obeyed hesitantly and opened the gate. "FOR DORN AND THE EMPEROR!" He said and charged. He wielded a pair of lightning claws that he instantly used to carve up the greenskins in his way.

"GET DEM HUMIES!" The warboss said and the orks redirected their attack towards the assault terminators. "NOW!" Odin ordered and again the terminators had opened fire, this time on full auto. The orks disappeared in a haze of vaporised blood. A terminator wielding a power fist and thunder hammer charged the warboss and his nob boyz. "FOR THE EMPEROR!" He screamed as he flung himself at his foes. "KILL DA HUMIE, BOYZ!" The warboss ordered to his bodyguards.

They immediately opened fire with their shootas. The stubs pinged off the battle-brother's armour. Unable to resist such a brave opponent, the warboss threw a nob to the side and charged. For one moment, the two charged at one another then their weapons clashed. "Die, ork!" The space marine said as he aimed a blow from his power fist into the warboss's skull. The ork caught the power fist in his power klaw and ripped the arm from the brave marine's body. The Astartes screamed as blood pumped from and open shoulder.

The Astartes however, threw his thunder hammer at the greenskin. The ork caught it and threw it aside. He then stabbed his power klaw into the hearts of the battle-brother and ripped them out. The marine slumped onto the ground, dead. He turned to the factory and grinned, showing wickedly sharp teeth that were dripping with blood. "DIS IS WHAT YOU GET, SPACE MARINE!" He shouted and then ordered a retreat.

"NOW! CHARGE! FOR THE EMPEROR!" A shock trooper sergeant said as he tried to rally his troops. "Charge!" In a wave of relentless fury, the Astra Militarum and the Adeptus Astartes crashed upon the retreating orks. Odin swung Daemon Bane hard to the right, knocking out an ork's jaw. He then smashed his storm shield in its face and with an almighty roar kneed it in the gut and swung Daemon Bane on to its skull, crushing it. A sergeant stabbed his power sword into an ork and then charged forward, gathering orks on his blade.

An ork boyz mob were incinerated by a wave of promethium flame and assault cannon bullets. A terminator with an empty heavy flamer swung his useless weapon into a greenskin's gut then smashed his power fist into the beast's head, making it nothing more than a bloody mush. VROOOOOM! An ork dropship appeared overhead and an ork nob mob jumped from their ride, landing on an unlucky shock trooper. "WAAAGH!" Their passengers departed, the dropship's crew turned their massive guns on the Emperor's soldiers.

"CAPTAIN! THAT DROPSHIP IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM!" A battle brother roared and turned his storm bolter to the oncoming ork wave. He began blasting away, turning many a ork into bloody corpses and spraying their blood on their comrades. Odin jumped up onto a piece of rubble and made an almighty leap. He reached the dropship and Daemon Bane caught the edge of a railing. Hauling himself up, he put his storm shield on his back and caught a storm bolter a sergeant had thrown him. "GET OFF MY SHIP, SPACE MARINE!" The ork kaptain yelled.

Odin charged forward screaming "FOR DORN, THE EMPEROR AND OUR FALLEN BROTHERS!" An ork charged him, his choppa held high. Odin smashed the brute's arm off with a well aimed blow from Daemon Bane the shot it through the chest area. "GET 'IM BOYZ! GET 'IM IN DA NAME OF IRONJAW!" The kaptain said and then charged. He wielded a rusty chainsword looted from a space marine. He swung it hard left in a chopping motion but Odin dodged it, then pointed the storm bolter at his opponent. Too late, the ork grabbed his arm and jerked it upwards.

The ork made to saw Odin in half but the space marine ripped it's arm out, blood splattered his black armour. He then swung Daemon Bane in a hook motion, knocking the ork's head clean off its green shoulders. The other orks charged him but he deftly dealt with them. "GET HIM BOYS!" A gretchin yelled and charged with his knife. Disgusted, the Astartes kicked him off the ship. Odin went into the control room and blasted everything to bits. "That should do it!" He said to himself and he ran outside and jumped off the doomed ship.

He landed just in time to see Ironjaw scarper aboard an ork bike and roar off into the distance. He looked around him. Greenskin bodies lay everywhere, with many shock troopers and the occasional Astartes. "My lord!" Odin turned to see a Flaming Fist in his MK IV power armour with his beaked helmet covering his face running towards his, wielding a bayoneted bolter. "My lord! An Astartes strike cruiser named the Emperor's Will broke through the greenskin blockade and is sending reinforcements!" He gasped. "Emperor's Will, that's our third company!" He said out loud. "Yes, my lord. Captain Forsta sent a Vox transmission and said that he was sending down fifty of our brothers." The younger Astartes said.

The Astartes strike cruiser Emperor's Will surged down through the atmosphere, towards the factory. With several loud explosions, it jettisoned all its drop pods, filled with 3rd company space marines. As the drop pods rocketed towards the surface, the Emperor's Will began to climb back into the battle in space. A stray ork missile flew towards the ship, detonating in the bridge. The Emperor's Will ended it's airborne life as it plummeted as a flaming wreck.
