Zuriel cocked an eyebrow at the assassin, back stepping quickly to avoid its blade with relative ease. "Thankfully I expect deception in all things my lost child. While you may not understand the truth in my words, you will soon know the Emperors peace." With that Zuriel sound his twin Crozius' into action bringing a storm of blows against at the wretch. Zuriel believed firmly in his decision as there was nothing more heinous than willingly turning against the Emperor of Man, and he had to much respect for the Eldar to kill one unarmed. @Avenging-Angel Right as he began his assault Jacen joined, bringing his spear and new psychic abilities to bear. He laughed slightly at his question as storm of blows rained down. "Clearing the way young brother, what else?"
His helmet may hide his expression, but underneath, bargov was about to burst into laughter at the absolute annihilation of the foes in front. He still kept his composure as he turned around to be met by tons of bolter rounds flying around him in an embarrassing display of marksmanship, before taking aim with another frag missile loaded in. "If you're done embarrassing yourselves, I will show you some marksmanship worth a damn!" He sent a missile screaming at them. Attack: Frag missile (7) [AOE] + (+2 hits from ordinator missile launcher) against astartes group 2
Claudius laughed as he shook his head, "One of the coward agents of the Imperium. My, my, my...Now their desperation is far to apparent. No matter, you life shall end like those before you, unnoted." He took from his belt his frag grenade and threw it at the Assassin waiting for it to detonate. He then activated his jump pack and came crashing down towards the agent of the Imperium, like a meteor from the sky. He then swung Calth's Vengeance at the Assassin's chest, hoping to send it flying and taking away its quickness and balance. He then readied his Champion's shield, for he knew that the Assassin's of the Imperium were a force to be reckoned with. OOC: -1 Frag Grenade - 6 hits, AoE -Blue Meteor - crush with full-speed via Jump Pack into an enemy, attack with 3 hits, ignore all armor. Can be used twice per deployment (bonus attack, does not take one hand up) -Calth's Vengeance (formerly 'Fudge Breakah') - 8 hits, ignores 5 armor, AoE -Champion's Shield [Strap; Allows second hand free.] (Blocks 3 damage; causes 3 hits)
Vahn dropped his bolt pistol not daring to reload and switched his power sword into main hand where he angled around and started to charge and fired upon the first squad Vahn slowed and paced waiting for the missile to touch ground. "Weak all of you. Your names will not be remembered. Failures of your Primarchs and the Emperor!" Once after the Missile touched ground he reached melee he savagely tore into the the Squad to cut down whoever was remaining. But even when he seems to be a savage he looked like an idol to stand with an magnificent site in deed. "We stand for those that are true to Mankind!" Attempt to Demoralize Squad 1. Wrist-Mounted Bolter - 6 hits, Ignores 2 Armor Master-Crafted Artificer Power-Sword - 8 hits, Ignores 3 Armor
Mariel raised his hand and shouted as he saw Claudius get engulfed in flames, "Brother! No!", his instincts immediately kicked in as he ran after him, up the stairs. Only death could separate Mariel from accomplishing his holy duties of healing his brother.
~~ Turm IV - Team Primus (Level 1.5/3) ~~ @matt23 | @Keidivh | @ItsTime | @Avenging-Angel Mariel while having the speed, his mind was too narrow on his sole target of aiding Claudius. The Sealance did hit him right into the chest, pierced through the chest armor as if it was aimed for his primary heart and got stuck in his chest bones. All the Dark Angel could do was cut the shaft off, but the remainder of the lance had to stick until surgery was possible since any attempt to just pull it out could harm him further. Miraculous or perhaps fueled by the pain, Mariel managed to get unharmed through the rest of the traps unharmed and join his three brothers in combat. Mariel -2 WL The Dark Angel just came in time to see Zuriel unleashing his wrath with his twin instruments of chaplaincy. The speed was insane at which the Templar moved, he appeared far more like one of the Khan's rather than a child of Sanguinius, then again perhaps they were just underestimated in their speed? The Assassin whenever evaded the hit of the first, the relic of the Eighteen Primarchs was there to slam into him. A blow into the chest, one into side and the last hit was into the head. Yet each time there was almost like a powerfield protecting the assassin, similar but different to an Iron Halo. "Not bad, but not good enough!" The Assassin uttered as he rose his Phase Blaster at blank point, but was interrupted when Jacen used his new powers. But seeing his brother in combat somehow distracted him. Perhaps the rage of another traitor here distracted his mind? Before he caught himself, voices of death, rage, blood and murder screamed in Jacen and all he wanted right now was the earth to devour the assassin. The entire earth shook as an earthquake hit this spot, everything in a 40 meter radius shook as if a Level 8 Earthquake raged out of nowhere, some of the swingblades and various traps being destroyed in the process. Mariel just managed in time to steady his feet, while Zuriel and Claudius used their Jump Packs to hover and be unaffected by the effects. However, the Assassin fell to his feet and only managed to lunge forward to ram his blade into the Psyker who was in some sort of trance. The Phase Blade slipped through the Power Armor and right into the abdomen of Jacen. The pain and spurt of blood caused Jacen to come out of the trance, at the same time the earthquake stopped, too. Claudius came to his brother's aid, crushing down like a meteor. But the assassin jumped away just in time, leaving the Ultramarine to have only impacted some of the damaged marble floor out. Then he threw a grenade right after the assassin, which was kicked back mid-air, detonating near the Ultramarine. But Aurelius was already in the air again to bring his hammer down on the human who fought more on par with the Astartes than anyone he ever had met. Calth's Vengeance came crushing down, sending the assassin flying with a sideway swing. Once again, he just bounced off the wall. He injected himself with some healing fluids. "You don't fight bad. But do you really want me dead? Don't you think I know this fortress from the inside and out like you know your fortress monasteries? Don't you think I know of Golbez and his beloved Lieutenant who lives here? Don't you think it is quite a coincidence that it all comes down here?" The man inquired, crossing his arms as he stood before the quartet. "And don't you think I am corrupt enough that for the mere promise of leaving me alive that I will aid you in your little crusade? Don't you think, I may have the secrets to rescue an old friend of yours?" And so he shifted into a younger Kane. "That I may be a key to restore the Imperium to it's former glory?" She spoke with a soft smile.

Entire clips were emptied unto him while he engaged for melee combat. Several bolts penetrated his armor and gained him new combat wounds but it wouldn't stop the Veteran. Bargov's Frag Missile went into a complete miss when individuals rolled away from it's blast radius, but sent one of them straight into Vahn's path who may not have hit anything with his Bolter, but pierced his blade into the throat and draw all life out of the forsaken Astartes. Erxandros casually aimed at one, shot his Sealance Launcher and pinned the Astartes, lance-through-head into a pillar. The two remaining Astartes threw their Bolters to the ground. "We surrender! They were the ones who got us into this mess, if we would have laid down our weapons earlier, they would have shot us point-blank. Have mercy on us and we will repent our souls by aiding you!" One of them yelled, the other one nodding in agreement.

@Uriel1339 Claudius paused as he raised up his hammer, resting it on his shoulder. He watched as the Assassin turn to Kane before their eyes. Claudius showed no emotion, because any thing of the such could and would be exploited by the Assassin. He then spoke out, "And why would you approach as an enemy, only to offer help in the end? If the rumors about the assassins is correct, you already know why we are here and most of what there is to know about us, so what would you want in return for your help would be the real question."
"Because.... For the first time in my life I believe someone has come who can defeat Golbez, and.... My imminent lord I had been seconded to. Their death, means my freedom. I had been abducted from childbirth on to become nothing but this. A machine stuck in flesh to kill and destroy. There was no brotherhood in the temples. No, we were forced to kill one another in order to live another day. Kill and eat, or be killed and eaten. Nothing like your Astartes Brotherhoods where you grow up having one another's back, no legacy to live for. The moment you die your face is wiped off all records and your designation call sign given to someone else! Perhaps I am sick of being a chained animal and you are my ticket to freedom." Kane crossed her arms, however he was facing back to his Assassin-self. "If there is one to dispose of this Lieutenant. It is the Rusted Legion."
Vahn walked up took his helmet off and pointed his sword at them Vahns facial express was filled with anger. "Pick your bolters up but I swear you cross me I will end before you even have a chance. You have one chance ONE! Once we return you'll will repent to the Chaplain understand now, what are your names." Vahn did not care if his brothers disagreed he is forgiving because his heart was still as open as was when he was a boy.
"I am Pelantus, this is my mute brother Buren, his tongue was cut off during our service under Golbez' banner, after we defected from the Mortifactors when our company was annihilated." The same Astartes said, and both grabbed their Bolters. "We will not disappoint you."
