Hey guys this is my first lemon. I'm a big fan of the Warhammer 40k books so I thought I'd make a miniseries of the sorts. This story takes place on a desolate planet where strange reports of hostile xenos attacking local settlements and the local Planetary Defense Force has all but vanished...So Let me know what you guys think. The first chapter is more of a prologue.
I hope you guy enjoy!
The Longest Night
The Planet of Alturas lies on the far reaches of the segmentum east on the far reaches of humanities domain, this area of space has been known to come under attack from various xenos species and space pirates. It is the 40th Millennia and there is only…War.
Administrator Dorian was awoke to the sound of the intercom chirping….Wearily he rose from his bed “What is it!?...This better be a damn good reason to wake me.” He shouted, the voice replied * Forgive me Administrator there is a problem*, “Give me a moment” he replied. He left his quarters and stormed down the corridor and into the command hub as he entered a small man stepped forward “My lord we have received a distress signal from the Planet Alturas…it seems that they are under attack from an unknown xenos my lord, but the signal is over 3 weeks old and we have not heard anything since then, also one of the astropaths received a message from the planet’s surface…it was too garbled to understand but shortly after the astropath went into spasms screaming about the approaching darkness and died”…The administrator looked at the man and struck him across the face “ You fool…why didn’t you inform me of this sooner…it may already be to late…send a message to the Guard, tell them there is a serious problem on Planet Alturas.
A sharp shrill scream woke Sergeant Davis, he sat up quickly and grabbed his las- rifle next to him and peered out the window into the street, there was nothing there, he stared for a couple more moments and caught a quick glimpse of a figure dashing down a alley, *looked like a civilian* he thought…but he wouldn’t dare set foot outside unless he had to…not since those “things” started appearing, as he slouched back down he heard gunfire, 3 shots rang out in the fading daylight…seconds later a scream, the sergeant peered back outside scanning the area looking and listening for anything but there was nothing, He then heard a sound coming from the direction he heard the scream….a tearing noise follow wed by a couple snaps, the sergeants mind was running wild wondering what was happening, as soon as It started it stopped, he caught movement in the shadows but it was very difficult to see, like the shadows were bending around the thing, he sat in horror and the creature finally revealed itself by walking into the street standing over 4 meters tall coved on some sort of organic plates and scales its head a mess of tentacles but a by far the worst thing was the giant scythe like appendages for arms which looked like they could easily cut a man in half. The monster roamed the street lifting its head up high as if it were looking for more prey the area the sergeant knew this was a volatile situation and decided that it was time to evac. Making his way down the stairs and finally reaching the back exit he realized how quiet the night was no bird, no bugs, and no people…just what the hell is happening he thought to himself, something hit his shoulder and he stood there thinking he looked at it expecting it to be rain but there were no rain …it struck him then…someone or something was above him. Hanging from the wall above the door fame was the creatures hanging inverted from the wall it stared at him, the sergeant slung his las-rifle from his back and fired, the red bolt struck home but only left small black spots in the creatures thick hide “Frag it what the hell is that monster made of?!” he yelled, he turned and ran hard down the alley and as hit ran the xenos let out a terrible scream and leaped from the wall and pursued the sergeant. He looked over his shoulder as he ran and spotted the beast running at him with a frightful speed, he fired his las-rifle but the shots did nothing to slow the creature, as the creatures came closer still, he knew he had to do something to slow down the creature he saw his opportunity when a small alley way he quickly went down the narrow alley the creature could not fit as it was only big enough for 1 man to fit through the creature disappeared. The sergeant fell to his hands and knees gasping for air,” thank the emperor” he muttered but as sat there the creature jumped from the roof and swung one of its massive scythes at the sergeant, he caught a glimpse at the last moment and ducked underneath the fast blow and fired his las-rifle the bolts bounced off like before, he thumbed the switch on the side allowing him to fire over charged bolt but a greater drain on the power pack he dodged another swing of the xenos and shot the creature in the chest and to his surprise it staggered backwards and reared back up and roared in anger and lunged at its prey, the sergeant was running out of options and his power pack was draining quickly, he had 1 krak grenade left which are meant for vehicles or bunkers but it would do the job just fine, he fired the last shots of his las-rifle in the leg of the creature is and blew it off with the last couple shits and it fell the sergeant tossed his rifle aside and drew his combat knife, 1 meter of cadian steel felt good in his hand, he lunged on top on the fallen creature stabbing relentlessly looking for a soft spot. The creature battered him with blows from a smaller set of limbs underneath the massive claws, each hit felt like a tank falling on him, as the knife found its tender spot it screamed in agony, dragging the knife downward making a long gash in its flesh, he primed his grenade and plunged it into the wound as soon as he did the xenos caught him with a powerful blow that sent him spiraling across the alley hard into a wall, he looked up at the creature approaching and realizing what was about to happen he rolled into a pile of debris as a massive explosion ripped throughout the creature sending chunks of steaming flesh and blood splattered everywhere. The sergeant came to buried under rubble slowly removed the debris atop of him and looked around at the carnage…He stood there for a moment and gave thanks to the emperor for giving him the strength to survive. He removed a small pack and took out an Iho stick from his pocket lit it and took a long drag as he walked out of the alley and into the night.
Iho stick is like a smoke btw >.>
