The invasion of Meconis had been called off. All of the Marine's hopes had down turned. They wanted to meet the enemies of the empire and destroy them. The Sal Torasian Fleet was about to head back to their station on the 3rd Moon when a message shot through to the Fleet's command ship from a corvette. "Sir, we've received a message from some of the unclean on the surface. They've cracked into our... Game room's voice chat system and sent a message. I told the Marine to give them the correct frequency to communicate to our bridge directly. Shall I turn it over to you?" "Do so." The Emperor said turning over his high commander's answer.

SHadow and group looked around the area puzzled. "So, where are we exactly." The fatigue from battle was starting to show, as they were having a hard time staying focused.

"Almost there, we are currently underneath the ruins of Old Hellion. We should arrive in about an hour's time." Hallas attempted to start up conversation in attempt to lighten the mood "So, you guys do anythign besides fight in war?"
Borza sighed with relief, and he spoke "This is GrapeApe and FuzzyNavel, we are The Arrangement. We wish to enlist the aid of Sal Torasia in overthrowing the Grandmaster of Auctoritania. If you would pity us enough to hear out our plea, the people of Auctoritania would be ever grateful."

"Meh, we do odd jobs to keep us from being bored, but nothing big really." Shadow rubbed a temple tenderly. "But we're not used to this constant deployment. We're used to in, out, done." He looked at a photo in hi mech over head, three smiling faces were clouded over from the angle. "How about you guys?"

"Our city only had hockey for a sport, the gang and I were alright at it; though I got banned after brawling too much."

The Emperor ignored the ridiculous code names. "You wish to overthrow your government. And you wish for us to join in this heinous and dishonorable effort? Give me reasons as to why we should help."

"Touche, my lord, but hear me out. I have reasons enough, the Grandmaster Celsus is not even the rightful leader, we already have located the true heir to the throne, but we cannot act yet, or we will be stamped out and she will be kiled in cold blood. Also, if Grandmaster Celsus obtains the Bangle of Ishtar, he will use it's ancient godly magicks to rule the galaxy unopposed. He already has the Trans Gate, and the mining crew has possibly unearthed Daniele's Seal. I only ask that you send two people who are skilled enough to pretect themselves outside of a mech, I want to investigate the mines, and if the Seal has been found, to take it before the Grandmaster can get his hands on it"

"Give us the coordinates of this mine. We'll drop our combatants in. But also in that manner, since we will be in orbit over your country for several minutes your orbital defenses must come down for that time we make our drop. If that doesn't happen and we take fire we will be forced to reduce anything with a defensive structure to ash. Anything else?"

Borza grinned as he heard this "Very well, we have already hacked into the mainframe of the Megaplex, we will set it to recognize the drop as a merchant ship dropping cargo carriers. I should warn you, the mine is located at east 24 and south 47, just west of the old Hellion Ruins. On the very border dividing the green and yellow zones. As I said before, they will have to move on foot, so I need to know, will you be needing cloaks? If so, we have holograms ready to make your mechs look like rock formations. Other than that, I will have Nuba ready for the arrival, he will take your representatives directly here. I thank you for your kindness, and I only pray that we are successful. This could mean a whole new era for Auctoritania, we can reestablish trade and commerce with countries like Delmona once more. If that is all, I will close the connection, and we shall set up the holograms. I thank you" He closed the connection and Volgan secured the path so it could not be traced. He then set to work placing the holograms, and within minutes, they were in effect. Only from above would the mechs be seen, but the only ship going to an from the mines was Nuba's Transport Vessel.

After the communication screen closed the emperor placed his hand on his chin and stroked it for a moment, thinking. His deep gruff manly voice broke the silence. "Ready two squads of veteran marines, two scout squads armed with sniper rifles and their infiltrators, two MLHAV squads, and the Blue Nymph. We will drop them and they will secure the premises. The squads and special forces unit with move in and secure the the seal. Brief them on the dangers of the C'tan. Have them not disturb anything while they're there. They will be the command team just in case anything happens. The only thing they will have access to after drop is reinforcements and heavy weapons. if need be we will also provide a HQ compound." "Sir we'll be in drop range in two hours if we wait." We'll until the briefing is over then we'll move in and launch the operation. The units were readied. After about 45 minutes the everything was set. The Marines went to their drop pods. The ship neared it's target area and dropped the six pods down to the planet. If anyone saw them on radar they would look like a regular crate drop. They were in a dangerous close landing formation. Once below orbital radar range the pods split apart to a safe landing distance just like they would in any normal supply drop. About 100 feet from the ground the landing boosters turned on and each pod landed. The landing ramps on the tear drop shaped pods opened. The Blue Nymphs were the first out of their pods. Their mechs stayed low to stay under the masking. It was as if nothing had happened.They mechs stopped and shut down as the cockpits right below the head opened and the pilots stepped out. The two marine squads already had a perimeter set up withing the masking zone. The Scout squads were infiltrated and completely invisible to the naked eye. They make there was up onto a ridge to stay as look outs. The Two other mechs followed Blue Nymph's idea and stayed low. The landing took only 30 seconds and everything was running smoothly.
Shlag stepped down from the mechs drop rope. It was her first time in Auctoritania. With her and her team ready they went to the mine's entrance. "Remember, the silent elimination of everything in this mine. We're to retrieve the seal and pull out." Without another word they descended into the mine.
~Moments before~
Within the mine the head miner was directing the excavation. There had been a small tremor and everyone had been worked up into a panic. He was trying to calm them. Little did he know that tremor would cast a deadly shadow upon the mine.
The head miner was moving deeper into the mine when he heard a scream coming from the direction he was moving towards. He stopped in the room, to his horror everyone in there were gone. Suddenly large blade like fingers poked up from below him as a Flayed One grasped his leg from below, pulling him down. The sharp blades carved into his leg amputating it at the mid calf. As he fell more hands sprung forth from the ground. The arms then hoisted the bodies of the Flayed ones from the ground. They were horrific metallic skeleton like beings with human fresh human flesh draped over their bodies. Another hand came out and grasped his arm as he tried to pull himself the safety. It amputated his arm as well. He let out a blood curdling cry as the Flayed One pulled itself out of the ground and carved him to pieces. From the already made holes seven much more humanoid necrons climbed out. Their war scythes bristled with electromagnetic energy, just waiting to be unleashed.

Nuba rolled out into the entrance of the mine, firing shots from his gun into the mine. He looked sideways at the newcomers, His eyes still focused on his aim "You the reinforcements? Good, I can't say we don't need you all, some sort of wierd monsters are eating up all of the miners! Stay on your guard. Oh, and for the record, I already know you are here to just kill everyone. Not going to happen, I can't die here, not from you, and not from some ugly a** monsters either! s**t!" He leaped out of the way just as one of the demons rose up to get him. "Get yer asses outta tha way!" The monster had turned it's focus on the forces that had arrived.
They arrived at their destination, and Hallas turned off her Claw at the docking section "Alright, we are here, we will have to continue on foot, we will be surfacing just outside of the Bar. Let's go" She opened the cockpit hatch and leaped out. She approached the elevator, and stood there, waiting for the other two

"Get your lame a** out of the way." Shlag pushed the man aside and drew her bolter pistol. She fired a shot at the Flayed Ones head. The shot hit and exploded. The Necron was completely un-phased by it. The Blue Nymphs unloaded their 15 round clips into the zombie like monstrosity. The shots exploded on it's skin like they were shooting a thick steel wall. It continued to stagger forward it raised it's right arm high above it's head in an attempt to Shlag down. She stepped back to dodge the blow that never came. One of the scouts put a 1.00 caliber sniper round it in head. The Necron fell over, seemingly dead. "We need to purify this mine before we can continue this operation."

Nuba reloaded his gun and stood up "No, you have merely stunned the demon!" He ran over to the tranport and opened the back hatch "Get in, all of you, there is no point in wasting your lives! I'll take you into the city!"

"No. This mine must be purified. Our mission is the retrieval of the Seal. If it is not removed then we should be executed for incompetence and if we are frightened by a challenge to our Emperor, we should for that as well.." She fired down at the Necron's head once more. It exploded. Shrapnel bounced off their armor. "First squad, on me." With that the first squad pulled off the perimeter and formed up with Shlag. "Everyone else hold the line." Shlag and the squad of marines went into the cave. Six on each side of the passage.
