Space Hulk Story

Pushing on pt 2

The Commander and the other two Space Marines waited for the proper time to engage their foes when suddenly the figures vanished, possibly traveling down a hallway that could not be seen from the Space Marines current location. “Be on guard we are making our move now,” The Commander shouted as he muscled the door open. The other two Marines took a deep breath as they followed their Commander into the next corridor, the corridor seemed to stretch on for ever, the farther down it the less lights that were working, As the group pushed father down the Corridor until they arrived at the location in which the Commander had seen the two figures he was correct there was a corridor leading off to the left but viability down it was next to nothing, if there was something down there they would have a huge advantage over the Space Marines. “lets give them something to think about, Rackchild, light it up,” the Commander shouted, “yes sir,” the Devastator replied with a sound of glee in his voice, Rackchild rose his Storm Bolter and began to fire down the dark corridor, the flashes of the Storm Bolter illuminated the corridor a bit but not much, suddenly the sounds of creatures screaming in pain rang out, a wave of small linky creatures began rushing forward but the shear overwhelming firepower of the Storm Bolter was dropping them as quickly as they came into view, “How many are there?” Grayscale shouted. “Don’t matter” the Devastator laughed. After what seemed like an eternity but in actuality it was just a few minutes.

“Those weren’t Genestealers were they?” Grayscale asked looking down at the massive pile of bodies of unknown creatures, “Not by a long shot, to tell you the truth I do not know what those are but they do go down pretty quickly,” the Commander replied. “We should keep going,” Rackchild said, both the Commander and Grayscale looked at him. The Devastator replied by simply shrugging his shoulders, Commander Noir turned his attention back down the Corridor they were currently in, “I agree lets press on” he said. The Three Space Marines continued down the Corridor, they finally came to another room but the door was closed and locked. “We need to get in here,” the Commander said as he eyeballed the control panel of the door. Suddenly the sound of metal grinding could be heard through out the corridor, “What is that?” Grayscale asked as he brought his Chain Sword up in preparation of combat. Commander Noir turned his attention down the corridor where they came from, “That could be a Genestealer, everyone on their toes,” the Commander replied raising his Chain Fist. Suddenly the lights began to flicker before powering up, “Good work Morningstar,” the Commander said under his breath a very large bulbus headed creature with four arms and a light purple tint to its skin appeared from the corridor where they encounted all of those smaller unknown creatures, in its maw was the body of one of the creatures. It appeared that the Genestealer had not noticed the Marines yet, which gave the Commander an idea, a preemptive strike, “Let it have it boys” he shouted raising his Storm Blaster, the Devastator and the Assault Marine also raised their weapons in preparation to fire.
