I feel dizzy. My mind is pulled in every direction at once, and it feels horrid. Slowly, ever so slowly, I pull myself together. It wasn't as bad as experiencing the warp point blank, but it still isn't fun.

My claws rake the ground as I clench my fist. I slowly get to my feet. Now, it is time. For better or worse, the plan would be enacted.

We needed to stow away and pray that we get out safe enough. Looking at the gate, I raise my cannon. I fire in the corners, then charge. I rear back my right arm, activating my fist, and right before I ram my body into the gate, I punch.

The gate dents outward right before I ram through. Metal explodes outward as I run forward., and begin my trek to my comrade. As I run, I can hear the immaterial screams as daemons invade. I continue to build mental defences as I rush.

I slam through gates and take pot shots at fleeing xenos as I finally break through to the holding area. I see Karros on his hands and knees as he groans. His helmet is across his cell, and his eyes are dripping blood.

I can guess the warp activity is killing him, literally. I quickly rip the cell door off its hinges and throw it across the room, and I slowly pick up Karros. I interlock my mind with his, and I see he was caught off guard.

Luckily, no warp creature has taken notice yet, so I begin bolstering his mind with my own. And quickly enough, he gains his feet again. I go back and retrieve his helm.

As I look about for an exit, he finally regains his senses fully

"Damn it... that is... unpleasant. What is the situation? What happened?" He asks.

"The dysjunction has begun. We need to get out, now. We have less then an hour at best." I state. he nods, and i let him down. "Find us a way forward my friend. It's now ot never."

He nods again, and begins looking for an egress that can fit my massive bulk. I then turn my head to my eldar friend. She is standing firm, her eyes gazing out at us.

I created a mind bridge to her. "Are you sure you will stay?" I ask simply. When she nods in the affirmative, I nod back. I rip her cell doors off and toss it with the first set.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Then, I slowly touch her chest. "I have said your path will be hard. And it will. But do not doubt me when I say I am your friend, and can trust me. We all get one chance to do things right. Rarely do we get a second. May you use it well, and remember my words. Good luck. May we meet again." I state, then turn away. I begin ripping each cell door off and letting the prisoners free. When I'm 3/4ths done, Karros calls out to me.

"Path found! Get over here. We need to get out now." He states. He points to a door that goes to... somewhere. I don't wait and call for him to step aside. When he does, I charge through the wall. On the other side, is a hallway with more doors.

The process repeats itself. Karros scouts, I protect him, and then ran through a wall. At one point, an eldar bursts through the door Carlos was scouting, subsequently getting run through with Karros's sword, and the way was revealed. The path lead out.

___________________

As we run through the paths of Commorragh, I grab another fleeing eldar. I invade and subjugate his mind, and don't find what I'm looking for. I crush him, and throw the corpse at a wall.

I've been searching for a port foe ten minutes, and I've only gotten general directions. We are heading the right way, but it will take time we don't have. Then, I hear a rumble, and see a escort sized ship running low above us. It stops 2 kilometers out.

I think... my complaint actually did something... By the emperor I should go gambling. Anyhow, I notify Karros, and were off.

5 minutes later, were in sight. It's picking up cargo from a large building. There are guards posted, shooting everything around the loading zone. Things do not look good. We can't run to hide aboard, we can't stay... FUCK!

Calm, calm... OK, there are buildings across and next to the ship... we could leap onto the ship and board by cutting in. Yes... good enough!

I turn to Karros and explain my new plan. He looks at me like I smoke plasma. Eventually, he agrees and I begin climbing the building across from the ship. As I do so, Karros is holding on to my head for a ride up.

Soon enough, we reach the top, and I clamber up. Karros asks a final time. "Are you sure of this Zervos? There could be other options..."

I ignore him. Not time. I can see the engines begin to light up, so I have to act now. I begin to run as carefully as I can, hoping the roof doesn't collapse in. When I get to the edge, I leap for the top of the ship.

As I fall, I pray this stupid plan works. When I hit, I fall on my chest and grip onto the ship with my claws. My claws ark with lightning as I slide back a few meters before I stop.

"My friend, do you live?"

"Yes."

"Wonderful. I told you it would work!"

"Quiet."

I stand up quickly and advance towards the prow. I begin digging into the ship to make us a hole. And when it's complete, we hop in.

It's dark and empty, likely either crew berths or slave pens. We hide ourselves as best we could on the walls, and fall silent. Soon enough, we hear the roar of the ship's engines. Through the hole I cut, we see the city go by, and then, blackness.
