Malachai the insane grunted in annoyance as he surveyed the
hive infront of him. His vox link crackled into life
“ enemies approach kill on sight"
On the horizon he could see the hulking silhouettes of
kelnar the errant and silas the crusader. Enemues approached and began engaging
the other knights. Malachai laughed as he now knew his trap was successful.
Gleaming bikes flew into the battle totally unaware Malachai
was waiting. His conflagration cannon roared into life belching an inferno at
them. Huge booms from silas rattled the city just as smoking craters were left
by kelnar.
A massive concentrated barrage of enemy firepower hit
malachai forcing him slightly backwards. The gleaming jetbikes charged at him
causing heavy damage before he crushed them into nothing.
“leviathan drradnought approaching from the right destroy as
priority"
Silas span round bringing his huge weapo s to bear on this
new target. His battlecannon launched a devastating salvo at the leviathan
crippling it. Kelnars thermal cannon roared as a ball of supercharged magma
finished off the leviathan.
Suddenly a huge explosion lit up the sky and shook the
ground with its ferocity. Silas and kelnar turned to see the blazing remains of
Malachai. The smoking debris of his valiant had collapsed onto a building
totally destroying it.
“enemy totally destroyed mission objectives achieved. Return
to base"
Silas and Kelnar took one last glance at the destruction
then left the still burning hive.

The catastrophic flash continued to echo across the Time Flayer's visor. He had hit the floor hard and his cowl had caught fire nevertheless his rose to his feet abruptedly and unsteadily with only a single focus, "Stefano!" He called out.

The Quentif Gate and the Outer-Hive were laid in ruin.
Demolished and destroyed. The triple renegade knights had smashed aside the
Crimsons Fists' blockade and now bodies in blue power armour were scattered
across the sector.
Worse was the explosion. In an heroic stand, Salbatore and
the Timeflayer had stood firm against the enemy warlord. Heracio had been sent hurling but had
witnessed the final blow from his Captain- land against the armoured monster.
The energy of the Fist of Vengeance had ignited and ruptured the traitorous
engine, and in an eruption of light and fire - that was the last time had he
seen Captain Stefano Salbatore.
"Stefano!"
The Timeflayer had seen the moves, every action. He had
danced has he should have...but the outcome...the outcome he had never
envisioned.
He raced toward the burning rumble and the dead knight. He
pulled off his helm that was still haunted with static, and he dug.
Minutes later, a Repulsor pulled up and more Crimson Fists
joined the search as they realised their Captain was missing.

The Timeflayer stepped forward holding an unconscious body
aloft with his psychic might. "This is Malachi... my prisoner."
