The War Beneath the Waves

Ooc I'd say that they would follow orders, so they would probably go after the sisters and praetorians.

OOC: Yeah. Btw, how would the sisters react to the cathedral collapsing. Since thats whats happening

OOC: when I rally my praetorians, so I have about 16 men left. 10 from the elevator squad, Cmdr Naran, colour sergeant Jones, 1 sniper, 1 medic, my comms officer and a regular line infantryman

IC: *he levels his pistol and fires at the rebels*

OOC: most are dead, but the survivors would either try and kill my guy or try to retrieve relics

The sisters move up, flamers spewing promethium into the breach, any one within being turned into a charred corpse.

"Suffer them not to live!" Screams one.

"For the emperor orders their death!" The rest cry in unison.

*the colour sergeant helps the remaining survivors up and leads them to the surviving squad*

Cmdr Naran: "that blast came from behind, how did they get a bomb there? The sisters were there. How did he know of our orders? Imperial vox frequencies are classified, he couldn't have known"

*The rebels have a sudden change of heart and immediately scream as they rush out of the cathedral. When they have left, however, cackling can be heard as one shouts:*

"IT'S COLLAPSING!"

*and so it is*

"Guardsmen, we don't have long; so follow us or die here" says the Celestian superior, shooting the cobble stone floor with her bolter, revealing a rat tunnel.

The sisters begin to hurriedly make their way down, enough room to fit 4 people at once.

*The rebels laugh madly as grenades are thrown into the cathedral*

Ooc: the sisters are out, not sure about the guardsmen

OOC Indeed, we must vait ja.

Ooc: indeed.

OOC: lel shitkids

Ooc: are you ever going to do anything?

OOC: so is the tunnel big enough for just four people or is it four people abreast?

Ooc: 4 people to go down at one time. So everyone can get in, but there isn't enough room for everyone at once.

*grenades begin exploding, sending shrapnel into unfortunate soldiers*

"Come on! You'll die otherwise!" Shouts a sister, the last one to go down as the force makes its escape through the undertunnel.

*one grenade happens to fall into the tunnel*

One sister crushes it with a heavy stomp, destroying it.

"You lot, fall back to the Valkyries we'll make contact if we can"

*the colour sergeant and the 11 guardsmen all of who aren't in the cathedral begin a tactical withdrawal toward the Valkyries. Whilst Cmdr Naran, the medic, comms officer and the sniper make a run for the tunnel*

*mass autofire is aimed at the people rushing for the tunnel. Every person running is hit, but all vital organs are missed and they will survive to fight another day.*

*they get in and start making their way through I guess*

The sisters pull off ancient torches from the walls, lighting them with the nozzle of their flamers.
"Good to see you made it guardsman" one jokes, leading the way through the dark, damp tunnel.

*They all took wounds to their arms, apart from the commander who took one to his left leg*

Cmdr Naran: walking around a damp dirty hole in ground...wouldn't miss it for the world
*he falls to one knee as the adrenaline keeping the pain at bay wears off*
Fuck...I didn't even realise
*the medic helps him up*
Medic: once we get to a larger area I'll patch you up, sisters....are any of you injured?

Edit: phone deleted a segment of the post

"We are fine, our faith shields us... but the armour helps too" she jokes.

"Haha, the emperor does protect...our flak armour really is useless" *the medic says*

*A massive crash is heard as the cathedral collapses*

"Well... there goes faith"

"They went into the tunnel..."

*One runs up to the rubble covering the tunnel and puts a melta charge on it. They run off, then the charge explodes, melting the rubble and tunnel entrance*

"KILL THHHEEEEEEEEEM!"

"You hear that?" Says one of the sisters, unhooking her bolt pistol.

"Yes... They have found us, quickly; we must reach the exit" says the Celestian superior, hurriedly leading the way.

*Auto fire begins to pour down the tunnels, hitting whoever is falling behind with an unmeasurable tide of bullets*

OOC: we kinda need wookie.

OOC Indeed

OOC: DON'T WORRY

ILL SAVE YOU!

OOC: Lel I lied

OOC: sorry! I was making my siblings lunch

OOC: Bush you are getting fucked in the destiny thing

*the random grunt dies, as my praetorians rush forward*

*The wall of bullets continue, more rebels rushing through the tunnel*

*naran turns and fires a few shots into the darkness*

"Sisters please tell me we're not far"

*rebels die from the shots, but more fire is sent back, killing more praetorians.*

They come to a dead end, a sister pulling a heavy brass lever that opens the wall.

"You might want to hold your breath" she says, jumping into the dark void

*the medic's head explodes*

Naran: fuck!
*he grabs the medics bag and jumps with the survivors*

/meanwhile on the landing pad\
*colour sergeant jones is pacing beside the valkyrie*

There is a harsh wrenching feeling as all weight disappears, before the light suddenly grows, throwing him onto the surface once more.

"Not often we have to use the air recycler for a escape route" says the sister, picked herself up.

*the rebels also place another charge on the entrance to the escape, blowing it apart and following*

They are met with much gunning down as they come up, being turned to red mist.

"Fairly ingenious, if I may say"
The praetorians pick themselves up, each one noticeably disgusted by the mess on their uniforms

*one manages to make it up, crawling on the floor, torn in half. He laughs madly as he pulls down a guardsman, shanking them in the stomach before dying of blood loss*
