"Don't worry about them! They'll be fine! We need to keep moving!"
Land Raiders and other tanks maneuver around them, sending volleys into the Chaos forces. Marines wielding all types of weapons, from bolters to missle launchers to plasma cannons and lascannons, fire relentlessly into the Chaos defensive line. The huge wall in the distance gets closer and closer.
Finally, after about 20 minutes of travel and a few stops where they had to maneuver around huge areas of combat, the companions reach their destination. A break in the wall with huge black metal doors towers above them. A large stairway decorated with images of torture and chaos stretches up to it. The Spire can still be seen in the distance. Kalana points up at the doors.
"That's the entrance to the Chaos labrynths. We have to pass through them to get to the Spire. We can try and break through those doo-"
Kalana trails off quickly, looking into the sky. A huge power source can be felt approaching rapidly from above. Seconds later, a large black clad figure smashes into the steps before them with enough force to create a large crater and send chunks of marble flying in every direction. Black energy crackles around the being's ancient power armor. He is wearing a huge power claw on his left hand. Electricity arcs freely between the claws of the power claw known as the Talon of Horus. In the figure's other hand is a huge demonic sword. It pulses with evil energy and seems to whisper to the companions, although what it is saying cannot be heard by anyone, save Blooddrinker. Glowing red eyes stare out from the figure's helm.
"I grow weary of this game. You are without Aileron, but no matter. I will kill you all and then I will hunt him down."
Abbadon the Despoiler swings his demon blade Drach'nyen forward and prepares to attack.
"You have brought the fight to our gates but you will advance no further. Come! Fight me if you wish to die!"
But I can tell you exactly how it will end.
