any more; for the raiders were toying with the man; but he found that he couldn’t look away。
74
Again; the bike came out of nowhere; and Cholos fell with a scream as one of his hamstrings
was slashed。 He couldn’t rise from that blow; but still he tried to escape; crawling forward
desperately; leaving a trail of blood in the snow。
Once more; the bike appeared; but this time it slowed as it approached him; dropping its speed
with remarkable swiftness。 It hovered in the air alongside Cholos as he tried vainly to stand。 The
rider of the anti…grav vehicle was garbed in a skin…tight glossy black suit with bladed plates of
armour over its chest and shoulders; and a long topknot of blood…red hair streamed from the back of
its elongated helmet。
The gleaming; blade…like bike sank towards the ground; and the rider reached out and grabbed
Cholos by the scruff of his undershirt。 Then the bike accelerated sharply; and Cholos was dragged
behind it; his legs smacking into the ground every ten metres。 He was dropped unceremoniously in
front of the waiting pair of reavers; and the bike zoomed off into the storm once more。
The pair of reavers laughed again; and dragged Cholos away。 It was the last time that Solon
would ever see him; and he knew that the image of the terrified man; covered in blood and with both
legs twisted horribly beneath him would be ingrained in his mind until his dying day。
Horrified and sick to his stomach; Solon slunk backwards into the concealing darkness; dragging
the boy Dios with him。 They cowered in the darkness behind the shadow of one of the main drivewheels
of the tracked crawler。 Solon didn’t know how long they hid there; but for the first time since
he was a child he prayed。
Marduk grunted as a line of splinters struck his left shoulder plate; embedding deep into the
ceramite…plasteel alloy; but not penetrating。 He replied with three quick shots of his bolt pistol
before ducking back into cover as more fire was directed towards him。 With a practiced flick; he
discarded the spent sickle…clip; and rammed another into place。
“Jetbikes;” warned Kol Badar; and again the rapidly moving vehicles screamed out of the
darkness of the north passage。 The heavy weapons of Namar…sin’s Havocs roared; and two of the
accelerating bikes were taken down; one as a gout of hot plasma turned its elongated faring molten;
and another as heavy bolter rounds ripped through its drive mechanics。 The bike struck by the heavy
plasma gun struck the floor; nose first; and flipped end over end; sending its rider flying。 The other
bike veered sharply to the left; spinning uncontrollably and impacted with the tunnel wall;
disintegrating in a shower of sparks and flame。
Then the other bikes were screaming through the main access tunnel; banking sharply as they
roared overhead。 A shower of splinter…fire raced along the floor and peppered one of the Anointed;
but the Terminator…armoured warrior brother stood against the fire pelting him like a man bracing
himself against the wind。 His twin…linked bolters roared; ripping head…sized chunks from the front of
one of the bikes; but it did not fall; and continued to slice through the air in tight formation with its
peers。
Marduk and the warrior brothers of the 13th were caught with their backs vulnerable to attack
from the bikes; and they spun around and unleashed the fury of their bolters。
One of Sabtec’s warriors was caught in the fire of two bikes; and though the splinters could not
fully penetrate his thick armour; dozens of the cruel barbs sank through the gaps between the plates
of his Mark IV armour; and he fell without a sound。 Splinters had pierced the small gap between his
breastplate and his helmet; filling his throat with slivers of metal; and two other splinters shattered
his left eye lens; driving into his brain。
Another bike was brought crashing down by the combined fire of the 13th; and Marduk blew the
head off another rider with a carefully aimed shot of his bolt pistol。 The headless rider was ripped
from the saddle of his bike and hurled backwards; and Marduk threw himself into a roll as the
riderless bike speared towards him; skimming across the surface of the floor like a stone hurled
across still water。
75
The bike smashed into the remnants of the mined Imperial armoured vehicle that Marduk had
been crouching behind; the force of the impact spinning it sideways。 The last bike was gone;
screaming away into the distance as its rider accelerated。
A flurry of splinters struck him in the back; and Marduk was knocked forwards as he rose。 He
cursed; and pushed himself to his feet; swinging around and firing in one motion。 With satisfaction;
he saw the frail chest of one of the advancing black armoured eldar explode as the mass…reactive tip
of the bolt…round detonated。
“Thirteenth; advance on me;” roared Marduk; having had enough of cowering in cover。
Burias hissed in hatred as the last remaining jetbike banked around once more; chased by bolter
rounds that pinged off the debris scattered around the access tunnel。 It moved so fast that it was little
more than a shadowy blur; and he narrowed his eyes and allowed the daemon Drak’shal to rear up
within him。
The eldar vehicle speared through the air like a dart; jinking around the burnt…out hulls of
Imperial vehicles; dodging the blanket of incoming fire。
It straightened and gunned its engines; accelerating directly towards Burias…Drak’shal and
Magos Darioq; who stood immobile behind him; apparently unconcerned by the carnage。
The cannons; under…slung beneath the chassis of the jetbike; roared; spitting a stream of splinters
towards the possessed warrior; but he was already moving; springing into the air; the heavy icon of
the Host held in one hand as if it weighed nothing at all。
The fire of the jetbike’s cannons flashed towards Darioq; but a glowing sphere of light
surrounded him; and they rebounded off the energy barrier to leave him unscathed。
Burias…Drak’shal leapt over the elegantly tapering faring of the jetbike; his taloned hand locking
around the eldar rider’s throat and ripping him from his saddle。 The riderless bike veered sharply
and flipped; exploding against the tunnel wall as Burias…Drak’shal landed in a crouch; the eldar
warrior helpless in his grasp。
Lifting the eldar as if he was a child; Burias…Drak’shal slammed its head into a corner of scrap
metal; once part of an Imperial vehicle。 Its head splattered; the frail skull splintering like porcelain。
“Weakling thing;” commented Burias…Drak’shal; flicking the corpse away from him。
A blade rammed into his back; and Burias…Drak’shal roared in anger and pain。 The blade was
wrenched agonisingly against his spine and he twisted; swinging the icon around in a lethal arc。
The blow didn’t hit anything; indeed; there did not seem to be anything behind him。 With his
witch…sight; he registered a shadowy shape in the corner of his vision; and then twisted away as a
blade stabbed towards him once again; putting some space between him and his nigh…on invisible
assailant。
His eyes narrowed as they locked on a lean; ghostlike figure。 It became visible for a second;
taunting him; and he saw a slim figure; its skin as black as pitch; with arcane sigils cut into its flesh。
Its eyes were milky white; with no pupils; and it snarled at him; exposing a maw filled with tiny;
barbed teeth。
Then the figure was nothing more than a shadow again; a vague ghostly shape that surged
towards him in a blur of motion。 Burias…Drak’shal swung his icon like a hammer; the spiked tip
humming as it arced through the air。 The shadow…creature ducked beneath the blow and came up
inside his guard; and Burias…Drak’shal hissed in pain as a blade rammed into his side。
Burias…Drak’shal connected with a heavy backhand blow that sent the shadow…creature tumbling
backwards。 It came to rest on all fours; and its form once more became visible as it snarled up at him
in hatred。 Then it was gone; disappearing into thin air as if a veil had been drawn over it。
Burias…Drak’shal experienced an unfamiliar emotion: unease。
The creature had seemed at once familiar and alien。 He thought he had scented the power of the
warp within
