Miria grimaced in pain as she was lifted into the air and squeezed. She then noticed Emirys descended upon the beast. "Emirys!" She called. "Catch!" It was an order as the Battle Sister threw her melta bomb to the Seraphim, hoping perhaps it could help turn the fight.
Emirys came flying forward on her jump pack to drive her combat knife down through the titanic fiend's skull. Unfortunately these heads appeared heavily armored in their own way with layered carapace protecting whatever brain they might have, it did serve to save Alexandra though as a spine fist swung upward and slashed the Seraphim off throwing her back to the foot of the small ziggurat while the Dominion hacked herself free, falling to trench floor with several severed tendrils flailing around her. At the last Addec's fire bomb would come sailing in and ignite the creature's upper half, leaving it flailing around in blind rage as its miserable form was cleansed by holy fire. Stomping about for several more seconds Arerina would help speed its trip to hell with both her and Zeth pouring small arms fire into the living pyre until it collapsed on its side dead. Opposite of all this Martha, Reese and Miria continued to hold their ground, or be held, by the last towering abyssal beast. Martha seeing her decided charge was in grave danger of meeting her end threw both body and eviscerator into the effort, hacking away at the limb until its wrist resembled a bloody specimen of severed bone, Miria finding the crushing digits around her form going limp as the hand smashed into the ground. Repentia would come to find one death traded for another though as a storm of stinger tendril strikes pierced through her back, ripping away flesh, spearing out both lungs, puncturing her throat and ending with a crushed spine as several of the serpentine limbs coiled around bone before constricting with crushing force. Canoness would advance through the bloody aftermath using her own bolt pistol to dispatch a number of those tentacles, freeing Martha's body to slump over at an odd angle. @lord-watchman @Avenging-Angel @Vulpas @Shadhunter @Grall_Stonefist
Crashing to the ground at the base of the pyramid Emirys stood in time to snag Miria's melta bomb from the air. After watching Martha being brutally slaughtered the Seraphim propelled herself into the air again, this time driving her knife into the remaining creature's back. Hauling the blade round in a rough circle Emirys primed the melta bomb and shoved it in the small wound she'd inflicted before dropping to the ground and dragging Martha's corpse to where Arerina and Zeth were positioned. [OOC: Unlucky Martha!]
OOC: NO NOT ALLOWED! Kidding kidding I tease Then and there it was over as the Canoness moved to Miria and helped drag her out of the severed claw, dragging the wounded Superior if she wasn't able to get a leg on by herself. Beast came lumbering forward in pursuit but it was no use as the melta-bomb detonated simply vaporizing a large portion of its back into ash, any of the blast that might of reached those nearby absorbed by its heavily armored body. "Quickly, someone secure the artifact!" Reese ordered the lot of them before sprinting to reinforce their faltering line of defending Dominions and Celestians which were being steadily pushed back as the never ending swarm of fiends continued pressing forward, crushing the corpses of those who came before or even snatching them up to use as shields.
The promethium fire had now gorne out, thre flaming crown was now just a crowned helmet, there was no more promthium in his back tank and to take whatever little in his handflamer out would be useless. Addec was hurt badly, not that it would stop him from pushing himself to the limit. Many other would buckle from the pain of his internal damegde, but he still pushed himself up to stand, he was not in any stand to use his Evicerator to any good degree, but he would still stand unbowed to the pain and danger ahead, now that the abominations where dead. He saw the sister repentia died, good for her, she was now redeemed in the eyes of the God Emperor and could stand by his side once more, a good fate.
Alexandra Fell to the ground as the severed tentacles now withered around her, She Ripped out any remaining ones in her arms and leg and began Getting up as fast as she could, Grabbing her flamer to mag lock to get back, She grabbed her sword, as she began moving forward. She could feel the blood flowing from the wounds in her limbs as she moved, As the order secure a articat came in she continued pushing herself forward, Pain catching up to she began limping towards the objective with shield and sword in hand, She bit back a groan of pain as she moved, She looked up towards the artifact aiming to head with her sisters up to secure the artifact as orderd for them.
Emirys wearily gathered herself as she heard the Canoness and headed back towards the pyramid, slowing as she neared Alexandra. "Lean on me Sister. I have... feelings ...that we still need as much strength as possible."
Swiftly and surely a staggered retreat was made as the forces of the Adeptas Sororitas were pushed back around the Ziggurat. It would be Zeth and Arerina who would end up bringing it all to an end, as sister reached out to grasp the scepter and rip it free from its pedestal. Before Reese could give any order to retreat the air was ripped from every lung and swirling vortex closed in about them leaving all blind for yet another trip between worlds. Miria was the first to awake as lightning cast a flash of white over them all through a large shattered window, stain glass having once presented an image of the Emperor spreading a glorious veil of gold across Trynite's hives. Now it was a mess of dull color on the floor around roughly twenty some warriors of the Emperor. Addec was inexplicably slumped over a wooden throne, the skeletal corpse of Trynite's former governor still sitting on his favored seated with the Priest's stomach laying across cadaverous lap. Zeth and Arerina were crumpled in a pile wrapped around the displaced staff. Emirys was hanging from a ceiling chandelier as it swayed back and forth, crystaline decorating clinking and clanking against each other in bothersome fashion. Though the fact that they could hear this at all was interesting for earlier the rain had been loud enough it would of no doubt drowned it out. Now however it was obviously dying down with rain fall outside becoming visibly lighter as time passed.
