"Command HQ, this is scout team alpha. Be advised. Another ship has just landed. It appears to be a Thousand Son's transport. Repeat. Confirmed Chaos reinforcements. Thousand Sons squadron."

cLuTcHFieND quickly taps a few keys. The camera view zooms away from the temple to reveal a modified Thunderhawk gunship. It has skulls and other bizzare objects welded to it. Very strange looking marines are pouring out of it. cLuTcHFieND presses more keys, and the camera view moves to a secondary monitor. The main monitor brings up stats on the Thousand Sons marines.

"The Thousand Sons Leigon of the Chaos Space Marines are extremely powerful. During a battle long ago, a powerful spell known as the Rubric of Ahriman was set upon their ranks. This spell sealed their armour shut and reduced their physical bodies to dust, leaving their souls trapped inside their armour for eternity. Their bodieless souls are almost imposibble to destroy, beacue they can't be absorbed. The enchantment over their armour is too powerful. I doubt that even Soul's magic could penetrate it."

"Your plans are all good ones. I have all the squadrons we can spare ready to attack on a moment's notice. But we must act soon. If the Chaos Lords keep gathering reinforcements like this, we won't stand a chance."

(OOC: Soul, I need a new place to host my pictures. Do you know of anywhere I can go?)

cLuTcHFieND presses another button.

"Send in the food!"

The doors of the room fly open, and 5 civilians rush in carrying trays laden with steaming food. They place them on the table and leave quickly. The trays contain various types of meat, as well as quite a bit of some type of pasta. cLuTcHieND eyes it approvingly.

This planet's food stores are low, so we brought some of the Marine's supply from the Reverant. Dig in guys!"

*Sabre Soldier races down the alley, leaping over a metallic wall, and springing to a rooftop. He looks around for a moment, and charges from building top to building top with a blazing trail of speed behind him, seeing where the others are several miles away, and sensing them. In the middle of his short journey, several helicopter based vehicles spot him, and shine their lights on him.*

Police: Stop where you are! Put your hands in the air and lay down.

Dragon: Fei, what are your plans with them, eh? Ha..I should have known. Your nature sticks out like the thorns on a black rose. You vampires are all the same. Death and carnage; add a little suffering to the ones that care about you. Too bad you can't take pity on them for knowing you. I wonder if the others have noticed yet? Probably not, they're so predictable. Anyways, I think we trash these scumbag cops. I'm thirsty for some blood too you know.

Fei: Do you ever shut that beak of yours. I may be cold, but I'm no....never mind. Just shut up. You're beginning to aggitate me.

*Several more helicopter vehicles approach from around him.*

Fei: We don't have time to argue. I've got to get rid of these pests.

Dragon: That's the spirit. Let's have some fun!

*Sabre Soldier puts his hands up. A smirk on his face. Several police in heavy armor drop down from the helicopters. Each hold heavy bolters. Sabre Soldier positions his one leg to the side as they approach. As soon as they get within several feet of them, he jumps into the air above them, and comes down with his left leg in the middle of them, where he throws his right leg into 2 of the police officers, sending them over the side of the very high roof. Sabre Soldier then does a backflip outside of the ring, and takes a fighting stance. The cops open fire with their guns empting a whole clip at Sabre Soldier. Sabre Soldier becomes a blurred figure, and the tracer bullets seem to disappear into the blur. When they notice that they are out of ammo, Sabre Soldier's figure rematerializes. He holds out his hands, and drops the bullets to the ground. His glowing emerald green eyes penetrate into the cops, making the action seem even more amazing. The cops step back in amazement, as Sabre Soldier finishes dropping their bolter shells. Afterwards he disappears and reappears behind them. In a tremendous roar made by the dragon, Sabre Soldier grabs a cop, and rips his throat out through his power armor. Afterwards Sabre Soldier makes a side kick into the other cop, ripping him in half across the middle. His blood spills to the ground as the last cop stands in shock, staring at the inhuman being of the night. The dragon laughs hysterically at the cops dismemberment. Sabre Soldier then stands infront of the last remaining officer.*

Fei: I cannot let you live; For you are going to tell your commanding officer of my presence. May God be with you.

*Sabre Soldier extends his hand. A chord of black lighting channels through it. Afterwards he points at the officer, and the black lighting strikes a hole right through him, sending over the other side of the building onto a car hovering by. Sabre Soldier immediately lifts his hands afterwards, and brings them together with dramatic force. The helicopters fly all together as his hands did, and explode into flaming debris. The debris falls around him. He then mindspeaks to Tamrissa as he disappears once again, taking safe haven into an abandoned building.*

Fei: Tamrissa, I'm going to be later than I expected. I had some company. I'll be back as soon as possible. I have to make some deliveries. Also, inform me. What's going on over there. Is there anything I can do to be of assistance?

Dragon: Ah yeah, that's what I like to see. Ha ha ha. Good show Serumen. Doesn't it feel wonderful?

Dom does a front flip out of his seat and lands in front of the food. He grabs a plate and piles on the whole plate with nothing but meat. He then gets a little bowl and puts some pasta in it. He goes back to his seat and starts chomping down. He, is eating so fast he accidently eats the fork he is using.

"Woops. My bad."

He grabs another fork and starts eating agian.

“How do we kill these things, then?” she examines the monitor after listening to Clutchfiend’s description. “If not magic, what is their weakness?”

We are trying to pull together a plan, but it is becoming more and more difficult, she speaks to Sabre with her mind, leaning into one leg with her hands on her hips and her gaze still on the monitor. First of all, they may be sending the little girl in to disable the shields. And second of all, we’ve discovered reinforcements pouring in to aid the Chaos Lords. They’re tough, Fei…Sabre. They aren’t affected by magic and Clutchfiend has said that Soul Reaver cannot even absorb their souls. He calls them The Thousand Sons.

Her olive eyes go to the others and she sighs.

I’ll keep you updated on what our plans are, but hurry, Sabre. And be careful…our chances are slim enough without losing someone, she closes her eyes and adds a remark to cover up that brief moment of fear as she thinks about how risky the next few days are going to be. Besides, we wouldn’t want the Chaos Lords to get a hold of your mind. You know too much. If they use torture to get the information they want, we’ll have to make a special trip in to kill you before you give it all up.

A smirk lifts the edge of her lips and she opens her eyes slowly. She looks down at her damaged clothing and gives another slight smirk.

Oh, and if you get the chance, pick me up something fitting for a battle. Ripped leather doesn’t seem like a good choice on this planet.

When the food is brought, she sits down once more and takes her own share of the meal. The monitor and the discussion cause her to pick at her food as if she were not starving.

(Something is bothering her. I can't put my finger on it, but something is. She needs her space, so I won't go strike up a conversation. How did she end up being the student of that guy?)

He looks at Soul for a moment and then stars back on his food.

"Hey Clutch this is great thanxs."

He waves his fork in the air and then goes back to his food once more.
