The Barbed Hook

OOC: send something at him to see how good his guy is in combat

OOC: Go for it mate!

*as he looks back, the loud bang of a 50calibre sniper rifle echos from the towerblocks, punching a hole straight through the jeep's engine block, causing the engine to splutter and die. multiple red dots appear on him, and his companions. a voice echo's from the towerblocks, making it impossible to pinpoint where from* "Drop your weapons and step out of the vehicle"

"This is meant to be friendly territory"
*The helmet switches to IR mode highlighting anyone visible in that particular part of the spectrum*

*he sees a spread of orange humanoid shapes against the blue of the buildings, one of whom with a bright red object* "get out of the jeep and get on the fucking ground!" *A bullet strikes the jeep with a ping*

*He opens the door and steps out*

Semi-IC: Que? No hablo ingles

"Drop the weapon! on the floor! and the other two as well!"

Semi: Obtener en el puto suelo

"WHY?"

*The setting sun finally drops below the horizon and the area is quickly plunged into darkness*

OOC aaaanggon
50cal sniper? when bolter-snipers exist?
IC the two ready their rifles

*A few figures swing out on ropes from various windows, this was obviously a coordinated ambush, among them are a pair of salamanders scout marines, their armour is brand new, this is likely their first deployment, alongside them are 4 solar auxillia, toting lasrifles, a volkite rifle, and most notably, a rotor cannon. The two scout marines move up, scoped bolters aimed* "On the floor, NOW!"

Anders: GET DOWN
he throws a shroud bomb at the floor where they are, resulting in the 3 being completely obscured

OOC: the shooter was human, not a space marine probably used the pre heresy absolution sniper

*a few shots rain down from above, landing outside the area of smoke, and the whine of the rotor cannon spinning is audible* "Don't do anything stupid, you can take bullets with that armour, they can't"

*the scouts drop to a knee, about 10 metres away, its obvious they intend to wait out the smoke*

"Get to a building"
*He takes aim with his own rifle and drops the two scouts with ease before darting toward a building*

several blast-charge shots fly out into the salamanders, at the very least knocking them on their asses

OOC: you were inside a giant cloud of Ir resistant smoke bruh, ya cant see jack shiiiit

OOC heat vision in the helmets dude

The smoke is made to screw up that, i did a quick google

Auspex?

"Move back, the smoke will cover us and draw them to us"

*He throws a pair of grenades that land in the general vicinity of the scouts and begins to move back along the route they took, headed toward a tall building*

the other two follow

OOC: Happy new year... yaaaay...another year closer to the grave

still another hour over here naz :P
am currently in my room
avoiding people

Yeah, i celebrated by grumbling about all the firworks because i couldnt hear the video i was watching.... then a few minutes after midnight, i noticed what the time is...

heheh

*One of the two scouts takes most of the blast, falling to the ground* "Open fire!" *the rotor cannon spits bullets into the smoke, with an absurd rate of fire*

OOC happy new year
IC the two follow him, darting for cover away from the fire
Anders: Sons of bitches!
Lyanna: Loading Blast charge!
Anders: target the gunner!
Lyanna: got it! *she quickly lines up a shot, hitting the rotor cannon dead on, the force of the shot knocking it from the wielder's hands*

*A shot from the sniper hits Lyanna in the right leg, the remaining scout loosing a volley of bolt shells at (bushs guy forgotten the name)* "Non lethal shots only!"

Manson arrives at the command centre, his squad of ten astartes holding their bolters in a relaxed posture, but their true nature highly on edge.
Heading through a weave of tents, sandbags and men ferrying commands back and forth. Mortal imperial armymen standing in a shocked awe as 11 astartes arrive from nowhere.

he sees a man in navy officer uniform talking over a vox, looking at a dataslate
Yularen: dammit get the primaris-lightnings in the air now! Intercept those gunships before they reach our lines!

Lyanna: fuck!
Anders: get down! *looses a blast charge shot at the sniper*

*He turns and looses a volley of bolts at the scouts before running toward Lyanna and picking her up*

*the shot impacts harmlessly on where the sniper was, they're following imperial army doctrine to the letter, repositioning after every shot*

*more shots impact his armour, any more fire and he might start to take damage, in aiming for him, two more rounds pass through lyannas shoulder, and her stomach*

Lyanna;s armour surprisingly takes the shot to the stomach just fine, but the shoulder shot penetrates she yells in pain from it
Anders: wait, non lethal? *shouts* WHAT DO YOU FUCKERS WANT?!

*there is a lul in the firing, but red dots from no less than 3 snipers, show it could start again very soon.* *the scout talks calmly, while hiding behind a wall about 7 metres away* "That... astartes... thing. arrived in a warp portal, you think noone noticed? It took out a hab block. He's an unknown quantity."

Anders: well you can fuck right off! You imperial bastards are burning my home right now, you can be damn sure I'm killing at least one of you before you take me down!

*He gets her into a building and lays her down on a table*

"GET HERE NOW! I'LL DEAL WITH THEM!"

"There are 4 men with sniper rifles pointed at you, or hadn't you noticed. The iron warriors brought this upon you when they betrayed the emperor." *one of the red dots moves over onto anders' chest*

Anders stands, slowly, his hands raised....the imperials notice too late a primed phosphex bomb in one of his hands
Anders: you try it, we all die!

*Leaving Lyanna on the table Lucious sprints toward Anders, to the normal humans he is a faint blur streaking towards the unsuspecting Olympian"

"Commander, Praetor Manson of the blood angels" he says as his men form up behind him, pointing their weapons down in a peaceful gesture.

*the scout rounds the corner, drops his shoulder, and charges towards Anders, he yells into his vox* "TAKE THE SHOT"

Elsewhere
"What news do you bring me, zethus?"
"my lord Djurah, I have located the warp disturbence...a being. My sources tell me it is a person, as I cannot detect their location myself. I have used the emptinesss in their warp presence to track them. They are currently under attack by imperial forces"
"Prepare a portal then, Dispatch Oedon to deal with this"

he looks up at him before saluting
"Rear admiral yularen, 552nd Retribution fleet"

*the bullet strikes anders, just as the scout hits him, wrapping his hand around anders, holding the grenade's arm closed*

The shot digs into the chest armour, but does not penetrate, ending up stuck deep in the plate itself
Anders: get the fuck off me, murderer!

"YOU'RE THE ONE TRYING TO RENDER THIS AREA UNINHABITABLE FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS"

*he holds onto the grenade, tight enough to hurt anders, but not to break bones*

"YOU MEAN LIKE YOUR YELLOW ARMOURED BASTARD BROTHERS HAVE DONE TO MY HOME?!"

"Good to meet you, but there is no time for formalities, Admiral... what do you require us to do?"

Yularen: I'm afraid I'm not in charge my lord. You'll want to talk to lord marshal Drell, he's inside the command bunker
