Karian Icefang     On the fields of Elysia, the once beutiful acre's of fruits and flowers were now trampled into dirt by the massive horde known as the Tyranids. Having struck the planet days earlier then expected, the Imperial Guard and Space Wolves were caught unaware, and pushed deep into security bunkers under the city. Luckily, the civilian population had been cleared out merely hours before the strike. Currently, the horde was beating down the doors, desperately trying to get inside for all the tasty bio-matter. Above, the tell-tale signs of Tyranid infestation were beginning to show. Cappilary towers were starting to sprout up, and nearby spawning pools were curning out the small 'gaunt forces. Overall, the city and the defenders inside needed help and soon.
    Inside the Bunker, Karian and his wolves were desperately trying to get a message out for aid, but that was hours ago. The preseance of the Hive Fleet would make astropath comms nearly impossible, but they still had to try. Taking time to bind the injuries of the Guardsmen, and rally their spirits, they had to hold out. "Jarl, should we not try to reach our ship and have them deploy orbital weaponry?" asked one of the Wolfguard. "Aye...Keep trying to raise them, but in the meantime keep an eye on the defensive line. If that breaks..." He says, not bothering to finish that line of thought. Walking away, Karian looked into a monitor showing a feed of the lands outside. "Allfather...we need a miracle."
Theurgus     Theurgus had heard of the assault, and within the hour had rallied three units of LDF troopers and their constructs to follow her through the Warpgate closest to the System Terminal. Arcana follows her as the pair of DCCs lead their hundreds strong troops through to bolster the Space Wolves. "Rally your men! The Concord and the Diamond Drive stand with you. Captain, deploy your men to bolster the defensive line. I leave that to your capable hands." she says to a power-armoured man clanking along behind her.

    "At your command, Lady Diamond Soul. YOU HEARD THE GODDESS. MOVE IT YOU SCRIPTS! DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER!" The LDF troops split up, moving to bolster the defensive line with their magitech weapons and heavy powersuits and golem units.
Tomoe Tomoe has heard the name Tryanid one or two times, before in the past combed with the Kerian's message? Ya it was bad, it was very bad. Tomoe bolted from her room at Kiritos family home, grabbed a slice of toast and was out the door, before she hit the end of th draveway Sheena had become Tomoe the Iron Lily once again, and was taking off, oddly with the toast in her mouth still. She flies though a warp gate and some time later abovs in the skies of Elysis comes someone who might be mistaken for an avenging angel of some sort. She's raining fire and light spells down on the nids as she's trying to make it to Kerian's location. She will keep an eye out for any stranded defence units, on the way though.
Josuke Higashikata     Seriously. The Powers That Be are skimping out these days. You ask for a miracle. But what do you get? Amongst the other Multiversals coming to help, there is...

    ...A teenage boy with a weird hairdo. Yup, the forces of the all-consuming Tyranid horde must be shaking in their... chitin. I guess.

    Actually no, probably not.

    Josuke sees the horde of super-powered bugs and his eye twitches. "Ugh... just <great>, the place is crawling with giant bugs..." he mutters. Josuke is not afraid of bugs, no. But he IS a little more interested in keeping his aesthetics a certain way, and gnawing, bitey, slimy, crawly BUGS are really not conducive to keeping that aesthetic! But... man, if this place doesn't get some help, it's going to literally get eaten alive! To that end, Josuke is inclined to help.

    He's using Theurgus's troops as a cover initially. But once he gets out in it, he starts to see the various problems out there. So... SO MANY PROBLEMS! First, he figures, lock down the amount of these horrors coming in. Hopefully he can put a lid on some of these spawners. He manifests his Stand to throw him to the nearest one, and then sets Crazy Diamond to work on it.

    He's not just trying to break it. He's trying to break it... and then repair it in such a way as to warp it beyond use. Hopefully that'll put a cork in a couple of these spawners...
Mortimer Balman      It is fortunate for Mortimer that space taxis- and their Imperium equivalents- are plentiful things in the Multiverse. Further fortunate that times of crises such as this warrant getting to where he needs to go quickly and without much complaint. Of course they're not going to land there on that nightmarish hellhole full of bugs. They're going to LAUNCH him down there instead.

     A civilian ship with a hastily Mechanicus-approved drop pod fires Mort from one of their cannons before speeding quickly away from the scene. He's been in flight for almost thirty minutes by the time he's started speaking on the comm channels. He'll be landing in another ten. Strategic data feeds project around the walls of the pod, while Mortimer scans and studies them. The civilian population evacuated already.. Yes, of course, Elysia has a small population, easy to move them out of the way- especially with warning first. Good. Very good.. But they'll still be scared. So, knowing that his transmitter will come over their vox networks, he'll do something. But first, analysis.

     Five minutes. He's not landing near the Space Wolves or their makeshift bunkers. He'll be landing in one of their major cityscapes, near a comm tower that the Machine Cult has insisted he keep from being destroyed by the Tyranids. This tower's operation and signal boosting will enable better comms across the planet, instead of a handful of vox machines, and of course it will protect a valuable creation of the Omnissiah's and all that good stuff. A servo skull with the necessary information floats around him, beeping occasionally. Information is key, and communication is information.

     Now.. Something to assauge the fears of the common folk.. "Do not lose hope, sons and daughters of the God-Emperor. You will not be abandoned! The faithful will yet see their prayers answered! Help is here! The Emperor Protects!"
Note     Less than a minute after Tomoe exits the the more distant Warp Gate on Elysia it crackles to life again, and a meteor of blazing clear-white light heads skywards without even slowing down, a small but sharp sonic boom echoing out from the takeoff!

    At the heart of this blaze is a youth dressed in bright colors - a minimalistic crimson vest worn over a yellow blouse, and billowing crimson pants tied off by a dark blue sash. She can't be older than maybe fourteen at a glance, and her silky black hair's done up in a ponytail secured by a cutesy red bow. Perhaps strangest of all... this kid has a tail. Yup. A brown-furred monkey tail. There's a tiny hole in her outfit for it and everything. It's whipping about in the winds as she flies with arms outstretched!

    In no time at all the youth catches up with Tomoe, flying far off to her right.

    As for the horrors far below that she sees? "G...gross. Why is it bugs again?! It was bugs the last time too." This time, though, it's not happening in some Tower of Mystic Trials. This is a real world people should be living in. And so her words are much softer and carry a worry that just wasn't present in said bug-encounters.

    She does not want to imagine what would happen if these things spread anywhere else. Just seeing them from the sky here is bad enough!

    "I wonder if they have a queen like the other ones did...?"
Karian Icefang     With the sounds of allies arriving for their meals, the Tyranid hordes scream in defiance, and in greeting to their future meals. But down at the bunker, the hordes there would be held in place thanks to the combined efforts of Theugus' militia forces, Imperial Guardsmen, and Space Wolf arms. Outside, the hordes react at the newcomers by firing their bio-weapons at them. The battle was just beginning, though reinforcements would be slowed thanks to Josuke's efforts. But he would also find fleshborer's aimed at him, from gaunts angry at his preseance.
    Meanwhile, Karian let's out a sigh of relief as his allies arrive. The feeling of 'hope' was flowing through every guardsmen there, and they kicked up their fire, now trying to make a hole. "Right...Brothers! Once we have a hole made, we go out there and fight like Space Marines! Guardsmen, once we're outside, shut the door behind us. Do not allow them an easy meal." He says. Sure enough, once a large enough hole in the nid forces was made, the Sons of Russ make their desperate charge into the tyranids, ready to face their fate on open fields rather then in a bunker.
Theurgus     LDF troops form up shoulder to shoulder with Imperial Guardmen, their magitech lasers ripplefiring with the Guardsmen's lasguns. Higher rank troopers in bulky power suits, akin to Dreadnoughts, stomp up in the second line, unleashing volleys of rocket and laser fire. Unmanned golems stomp forwards, trailing the Space Marines and plowing into melee, their heavy armour shrugging off some of the bioplasma weaponfire being directed at them as they grab and crush Gaunts and grapple with Warriors.

    Theurgus, and Arcana order a Mobile Resource Relay to be deployed. A heavy duty version of the hand-held Relay the DCC usually uses, this should cover most of the battlefield. "We will provide air support where we can." says the elder, blue-haired woman, the younger green-haired one shuffling cards before the pair speak in unison as the Relay comes online. "ACCESS!"

    Twin pillars of light erupt, and once they fade, a woman with multihued hair and mismatched eyes wearing a tight bodysuit with a billowing dress-like overcover. The other has a tight bodysuit as well, heavy looking knee-length boots and hair that shimmers irridescently as she moves. Eyes like an oilslick on water. Diamond Soul's Processors res-in, the gemstones gleaming darkly, like someone poured liquid black into the gem sockets. Diamond Sister's res in a moment later, their gems gleaming red-orange, like fire.
Alexis Maaka     Maaka WISHES she had Japanese wasps and hornets be the worst insects she had to worry about. Maybe those horrific African bullet ants.

    The cyborg's borrowing a meltagun for this, knowing bullets aren't nearly enough to take care of this kinda thing. She hops atop of one of the golems, perching on it with her melta. The weapon burps out a torrent of deadly heat, as if she was spewing lava. SHe'll give the 'nids this, they make a target-rich environment.

    "Hope you don't mind me here." She asides to the golem.
Josuke Higashikata     Josuke is human, and has a pretty good idea that those things being shot at him are not good things. Though, when they start showing up and NOT trying to close the distance, that's his first clue that something long-range is coming. And he's not disappointed either! Whatever those things are, they don't 'fire' at him so much as seem to leap out of those guns like giant, angry, insane, berserk FLEAS!

    Fortunately Crazy Diamond is on hand to make finding him as a target a difficult task. Pulling his Stand back until it's only partly sticking from his torso, Josuke charges Crazy Diamond's fists with Hamon for that little extra 'oomph'. If they're not technically 'undead', it won't melt them like candle wax in an incinerator, but it'll probably feel like a bug-zapper. Hopefully that will paralyze them long enough that when they hit Crazy Diamond's fists they don't start burrowing.

    Oh but Josuke isn't QUITE done with these things yet. The borers that were fired at him and Crazy Diamond broke? "Sorry, bugs! Insufficient postage, gonna have to send these back!" The spent borers start to glow with that orange-gold aura, begin to knit together again...

    And then leap back at the things that fired them!
Tomoe Toome can fight sure but some of her better abilites involv her aiding o5ther as she comes in at high speed for the lines where a godo deal of guardsmen and some of the space marines are located. Tomoe already has an idea and knows what to do. She drives her should into the ground not only trying to call the Nids on to her, but putting a protecive buff on to any of the Marines nad guardmen in range of her. They will get an extra layer of armour reducing the damage from incoming attacks.
Mortimer Balman      A drop pod slams into the roof of a building several miles from the bunker- the streak is visible from the skies, but its radio transmissions go dead. Cut off rather than fading, however, which implies that something is actively jamming. Less of a concern than the idea that poor Mortimer has died on impact.

     The drop pod crashes through multiple floors before finally coming to a halt, and then the doors slam open- crushing a number of gaunts as they do so. Automated weapons systems- mostly just storm bolters, but there's a missile launcher in there too- begin painting targets and rapidly firing out. Just long enough for Mortimer to grab his temporary pet skull, which wraps its spine around his arm to keep itself safe and anchored, and then running the hell out into the melee. Once he's clear, the pod closes up and seals the hatches. Ostensibly, that would not keep it safe, but the Tyranids have a far more concerning thing to deal with.

     Flames spill out from everywhere around ol' Morty, flash-cooking lesser Tyranids and their lower-grade synapse beasts with horrific speed. This isn't a Forge World so the air quality is quite nice, which means that whatever scouts might be looking will see a rapidly growing firestorm in the distance. Tyranids are surprisingly flammable, and burn for quite a while. The smoke trail slowly leads away from the pod's crash site, and toward a massive tower that is steadily being coated in a disgusting biomass..

     "Commissar, moisture don't burn that well, right?" "No, private, it does not. Not unless it's a flammable liquid to begin with." "...Does that mean that stuff they spray on buildings and people and stuff is fulla gas or somethin', sir?" "Guardsman, why are you asking.. That.. ...That is a very large fire." "Pretty, though."
Note     Streams of ACID are squirted at high pressure from the buzzing, chittering horde of TERROR that carpets the ground below at Note, who has yet to open fire!

    "YEEEEEEK!!!" Acting on pure reflex, Note twirls about and veers off to the left in a weird spiral, climbing higher and higher until she's far, far out of range - she hopes.

    "THAT stuff doesn't smell good... bet it's poison!" She has never heard of acid bugs after all. But everyone knows that spiders and scorpions can be poisonous!

    In any case, POISON GOO SPRAYS. How is she gonna deal with this?

    There's too damned MANY of those critters down there and if they focus fire she's gonna be hosed in no time at all.

    "They don't feel very strong... but there's hundreds... thousands... what came after thousands again?! Argh, I can't count this many!"

    It's perhaps surprising that she ISN'T opening fire willy-nilly on the hordes. Not just yet. She's conserving her strength while traveling to the actual front lines!

    But then she feels something... "Hey! Feel someone familiar... he IS here!" Sure she'd heard Mortimer on the radio, but he's HERE. She looks up just in time to see the drop pod-- and she swooooooooooooooops over that-a-ways with a renewed burst of speed.

    A few moments AFTER his drop pod's crashed through its targeted building she lands on said building's roof - what's left of it, anyways - and is just about to go down there and see what's happening when---

    FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!

    The Saiyan-blooded girl throws up an arm to shield her face from the heat. A kind of fruitless endeavor, but reflexes are reflexes!

    But the results - what little she can perceive through all the smoke - have her staring wide-eyed and mouth agape.

    That is a LOT of fire for one person. "What... what kind of technique did he USE?!" She -really- wants to know.

    ... But going through all that smoke to do it... not so great an idea. In fact, staying high up with all that smoke raising in the area ain't a great idea period! Even so...

    She now has a plan. Because she sees the front lines that need to be held. So she deepens her stance and draws deep of her spirit, breathing in a way that only martial artists truly know.

    First a tight hiss, and then a growing kiai accompanies a greater rush of power through her whole body. The crater Mortimer made in the building's roof is drastically widened by the pressure of Note's growing Ki!

    And then she takes off perpendicular from his path, dropping down into the streets. The instant she touches ground...

    "EIIIIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!" She just takes off like a ROCKET again, simply flying... but she's a flying missile of pure kinetic energy, covered by a swirling maelstrom of raw Ki pressure, moving at tremendous speeds.

    Yes. With this strategy, she's foregone and kind of martial arts techniques and instead become a living WRECKING BALL whose mere wake will sweep up a storm of debris and critters and EVERYTHING into a tidal wave of chaos and destruction.
Karian Icefang     Gaunts go flying from the high speed flight of Note, and many more fall to the melta, golems and defence force. Mort's flames burn the nids nice and good, but that doesn't stop them. They continue their assault, and Josuke might even see what quite literally look like floating rows of teeth and muscle slipping into ventilation ducts. This would push the guardsmen and the entirety of the battlefield forward, towards the tower mort was currently at. A truely brave Space Wolf would launch himself in front of josuke and shove him out of the way of an incoming warrior scythe. "Go, kid..." The soldier would say, before prying his sword sized knife out and leaping back into the horde. But, as everyone would move, they would see it, let alone hear it. A MASSIVE, TOWERING Tyranid bioform, Which would unleash a DEAFENING Screech, announcing to all the scale of battle had changed.
    Down on the ground, Karian and his men begin to move back at the same time the guardsmen do, and once they hear that, even the Space wolves would pause for a moment. "No.....It can't be....." Karian says, horrified as he realizes they very may well be outgunned.
Mortimer Balman      A running firefight- quite literally, even!- between Mortimer and the handful of higher Tyranid organisms that aren't instantly washed away by waves of persistent flame. Zoanthropes and a Hive Tyrant hot on his heels, he's not looking to fight them. He has other things to do- namely, get that tower online. The doors are wide open, the Techpriests and their Servitors who valiantly defended it all torn to pieces and scattered across the asphalt. Rippers and Gaunts try to spring forth at Mort from nooks and hiding places but he has no time to play, and they rapidly burst into flames at his whim.

     The doors are slammed shut, and the skull uncoils itself. "Go! Find your place, /get us online/." Beep beep, boop. It rapidly flies away while Mortimer spot-welds the entry doors closed- they only need to hold for a little while. While he waits for it to fulfill its purpose, he patiently cleanses the lower floors- luring out 'Nids so that he can purge them in flame. Whether they need to retreat or not, he reasons, the Guard will try to fall back to here.

     Then the entire facility lurches and shudders. Biomass, burnt in many places, tears away as massive plasma coils and turbines scream to life. Telescoping rods jut out in many directions, with little blinking lights. "...Eh...Yeah! Good job, little dead man."

     Vox signals suddenly strengthen around the planet. It's not much.. But it means that the ground and aerial forces can coordinate, and get themselves reorganized. "Alright.. Awesome, let's get to *work*.." Time to start chattering with commanders and commissars.
Theurgus     The Golem seems to completely ignore Maaka when spoken to, merely contiuing to bash its way through Gaunts, its powerful servos grappling with and rending the scythes from Warrior forms, then impaling the beasts with their own blades. The rest of the LDF move lockstep with the Guardsmen, lending fire to where the line is weakest. Powerarmoured troopers use jump packs to break up packs of Gaunts, then backpedal as the swarm turns on them, relying on the other fighters to cover their retreat.

    Diamond Soul, and Diamond Sister lift into the air on their Processor wings, hovering above the battlefield.

    The roar of the Hierophant draws Theurgus's attention, and she begins to chant, magical power gathering into her Processors and her staff. Arcana, meanwhile, transmits Theurgus's intentions, then moves to keep her big sister safe from any fire directed her way.
Josuke Higashikata     "GAH!" Fire?! That's definitely going to get Josuke's attention! As well as something going supersonic across the battlefield! That's going to get his ears' attention, and he winces. Sometimes it really sucks being a mostly-typical human amongst people who can fly, burn the very air around them, or have so many guns stashed that trying to disarm them is an exercise in cartoonish futility (as in, turn them upside down and shake, and suddenly there's a massive pile).

    Still, there's work to be done! Particularly when he notices the 'floating' rows of teeth in the ventilation ducts. "Shit, they're in the vents!" A growl, and Crazy Diamond is brought to the fore again. Though before he can pepper the ventilation system with a flurry of punches from his Stand, he's shoved out of the way of a scythe! He's a big guy, but nothing compared to most of these Space Wolves.

    "Gyehh...! T-thanks. Whew, that was close..." Moving is required, and move he does, until that loud SCREECH! Josuke stumbles, putting his hands over his ears. That, was REALLY LOUD. Also technically Stands are more or less psychic-type abilities, being basically poltergeists, after all -- that screech might have echoed on a spectrum that he wasn't aware sound could echo on. "OW! What the...?" He stands up. Pauses, blinks. "Oh. Uh. That's. Not good, is it?" Yeah, gift for stating the obvious here.

    But hey, Bio-Titan or not, there's still a crapton of little buggers on the ground. And he's not exactly what one would call 'heavy fire'. So while others are prepping for the big strikes that will hopefully cause some massive damage to the equally massive beastie, Josuke concentrates on the smaller forces. Quote unquote, 'smaller'. There are some here that are still WAY bigger than he is. But they're not as big as that big giant bug.

    ...And he really hopes that thing doesn't explode into a massive quantity of goo and soak everything in it. That'll NEVER come out of his hair!
Note     Sheer speed protects Note from the Tyranids she's plowing through. Moving at supersonic speeds through an uproarious outpouring of energy, she's like a meteor moving down the street. By the time one has time to see it coming and figure out what it is, it's ALREADY GONE.

    ANd then one's buried in chunks of concrete and various odds and ends, and the half-crushed corpses of fellow creatures that got caught in the wake that's only AMPLIFIED by surrounding buildings.

    Upon hearing the SCREAM though - and feeling the titanic energy signature - she swoops back up to the rooftops.

    "How... how did THAT sneak up on us?!" She can't say. But it's HUGE. Enough that she actually feels so very tiny. A little helpless. A fierce fighter she might be, but anything alive always has that little voice saying 'you should run' when they see things like this creature approaching.

    Note... swallows that feeling, and exhales slowly to calm herself as she's been taught. A martial martist should fight with a clear mind! It's always been one of her weak spots...

    But then, as the fear passes, what's left is... ".....Hahhhhhh.... yeah. Now THAT's an opponent!"

    She draws herself up to her full height then drops into horse stance, fists clenched and arms crossed in an 'x' in front of her... "Hhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuoooooooooo----" Little streamers of her otherwise white aura swirl with a fill golden streamers like sparks cast off a flame. She digs deep, tightening her spirit in a way that only those of her blood can... and---

    When she snaps her eyes open again, they're emerald, instead of black!

    "---ooooooooyah!!" As she swings her arms down her whole body lifts a foot off the roof and her aura simply EXPLODES outwards, shifting to a much rougher blazing gold. Note's smooth and straight hair is drawn upwards and color-shifts, gathering into golden spikes as the energy welling up also takes root in it.

    Needless to say, there's just NOTHING LEFT of the rooftop in her wake. Note's just floating there, high above the heavily damaged building, a shining beacon of wild Ki energies.

    And from her lofty perch in the skies, she hones in on the Titan, extends her palms out before her with wrists opposing each other... and draws them to her side so the hands cup an empty space between them.

    Though, the sapce doesn't stay empty for long.

    "Let me show you the best of the New Turtle School! Kaaaaaaa.... Meeeee..... Haaaaa.... Meeeee...." With the first syllable, bluish-white shines between her fingers. A little ball that grows outwards until it's fighting against her palms, seeking escape. But as the chant continues and the energy builds it roils and swirls, compressing into a denser and denser arrangement of deadly Ki...

    And then she thrusts those palms forward, letting all of that energy go into a shaped tidal wave! "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

    A column of blinding blue-white light that's five times taller than its source steadily careens its way towards the Hierophant's center of mass!
Tomoe The fight is getting intense and then as she's cutting through several Gaunts that get too close and she looks up the roar, she stares. She's seen some huge things in her life, very huge thing a life form so massive? Tomoe wouldn't think it's possible outside of the digital. She stares at the thing for a moment longer she feels the thing roaring. She leaps back into the trenches and says small guard post with munitions she grabs a Guard Sargent going.

"Sargent I need high explosives now!"

"High explosive?1 Wait you are! ..."

His eyes goes wide and he calls out.

"Grav! Metal Bombs you heard the Living Saint. If a chosen of the God-Emperor needs Melta, she gets melta!"

Tomoe pauses for a moment? Saint? She'll have to ask Karian after this is over about that. The Sargent wisely tells Tomoe how to arm the bombs and set the timer. It's a good thing too. She takes the Melta Bombs and shoves them into her inventory and she takes off flying right at the Titan, she's going right for its face she casts several spells at it pelting it with fire before she's flying right at its face, right for it's roaring Maw? Is Tomoe trying to get herself eaten? It looks like she is...
Alexis Maaka     The melta keeps blasting away the grunts, just as Maaka looks to see the source of that screech. "Uhhh, what?"

    CUE HIEROPHANT.

    "I'm gonna need a bigger gun." She mutters, leaping off the golem as she lets out another blast of melta on one of the bigger bugs, drawing her 10mm in her free hand as she opens fire upon them. "No way in hell am I gonna do anything against a horde like this with the kit I got." She mutters under her breath.
Karian Icefang     The Hierophant growls deeply as it's nailed with the onslaught of powers directed it's way. The Kamehameha stuns it for a moment, singing much of it's armored back and actually disables one of it's Bio-cannons. But as for poor Tomoe, she simply gets swallowed up whole. The massive beast looks right at the tower, and starts the process of charging it's remaining cannon.
    Karian, meanwhile, had managed to find his way over to Maaka. With a sly smirk, he simply offers her his bolt pistol. "Maybe, but we've still plenty of ground targets, Durandel. Shall we show them a good time?" He asks, his massive greatsword being swung down to clean off some nid bits from it's edge.
Alexis Maaka     "I'm good. 10mm basically does the same thing." Maaka says, firing high-ex rounds at a charging gaunt as she finishes it off with a blast of melta. "But I can definitely kill these things!" She adds, holstering her sidearm as she primes and tosses a hand grenade. "Fuckin' ugly bastards don't give up, don't they?" She says in between melta shots. "Think we could climb up there to take out the second cannon?" She suggests, pointing toward the Bio-Titan.
Theurgus     Theurgus's voice beegins to grow in volume, soon the words begin to echo across the battlefield. "Lo, upon the face of the Motherboard. Fluttering wings of the Operator, those clad in Bits and Code. Ye, who bare the name of Program. Truth and Temperence, strike upon this corrupted wall and unleash the full wrath of thy fury." magic condenses before her, pouring from the Processors and the marble at the head of her staff, inky black as the void between stars. "INFERNAL RUPTURE!" the sound seems to leech out of the air as the black mass distends, then lances outwards like a laser made of null-space. It's aimed at that second cannon and when it strikes, it implodes, sucking matter into it like a black hole.

    Meanwhile, Arcana slashes through flying Warriors, her blade shifting through all the elements as cards flash around her, light, darkness, flame and ice, wind and lightning, each slash freezing, burning, knocking back, electrocuting, vaporizing or imploding the target.
Mortimer Balman      Meanwhile, at the Halls of Comm-Tech.

     Mortimer busies himself with talking to Guardsmen groups scattered across the area. "Yes, Captain, I /know/ how badly you and your men have been hit. You have suffered 85.224 percent casualties, /I can see this/. And if you don't move NOW, where I TELL YOU TO, following the ROUTE I tell you to, you will suffer ONE HUNDRED PERCENT, do you comprehend?" The Guard is in heavy disarray, only those with the Wolves seem to really be well organized. "No- Commissar, you're going the wrong way. Turn your group- YES I AM DAMNED WELL GIVING THEM ORDERS AND IF YOU DON'T OBEY THEM, YOU'LL BE SUCKING DOWN TYRANID SLIME FROM HERE UNTIL THE EMPEROR'S RETURN, DO YOU GET ME?! Now TURN your battalion around, and DOUBLE TIME it, if you can't reach the armouries then *Everyone Dies.* You can bitch and whine ALL you want, LATER." Some are simply belligerent, others are scared. Confused. Pinned down. And even worse- lost, some cases. "Lieutenant you're nowhere near where I told you to go. Alright yeah all the broken rubble looks rather the same, yes.. Turn the /exact opposite/ of the way you're going, head down that road. Straight down it. On the /third right/, count them, you'll be five hundred meters from the Valkyrie Commander's unit, he needs fire support. Get him to the Valkyries, Lieutenant. Go!"

     Head swivels and stares at dozens of screens of tactical and strategic information. New voices clamoring for help without rest. "Yes, I know- put. Commander, put your priest on the horn. Yes! Hello, Father, I'm your new friend from on high. How far are you and your group from the Regiment's holy armour, pray tell? ...Do you have any Basilisks you might be able to, you know, provide heavy fire support? Yes, Father, that would be /delightful/. I'm sending you routing data now. Yes, the Emperor protects, good luck." Many are just happy to have a friendly voice telling them how to survive, and where they can do the most damage..
Tomoe Tomoe has done crazy thing but this was a new one the beast swallows her and she prays she hasn't just killed herself, she's swallowed down into the beast and has popped every defence buff and ability she has to keep from being digested she's got the melta bombs out and does her damndest to arm them the only light being emitted by a spell she cast as she was eaten down she goes down the gullet of the best into its massive stomach it's full of acid and things she does not want to think about worse there seem to be organism in here she takes flight not wanting to end up dissolved by the acid here and she's already taking damage it.

She banks about this hellish place as she sets one of the bombs at where she came in, and then moves to place another above the acid level fighting all the while the final one is placed father in near the exit and then she readies her naginata as he moves to fly at one of the walls and carve her way out of the Nid Titan before the bombs tick down. She's certain it will hurt it but it might not be fast enough to stop it before the fortress comes down that's on everyone else.
Note     Panting desperately for breath, Note lowers her hands and gets a look at the damage done to the distant creature.

    "No way...!" All that effort... and it's hardly even crippled? Decent damage, but she can't exactly fire off blasts like that every five seconds! That already took plenty out of her. "Now THAT's a monster!"

    Wait... she sees a glimmer of -- "Tomoe?!"

    Did... did Tomoe just get SWALLOWED? Yes, that's what it feels like. A fact that stuns Note to the core. NOT GOOD. NOT GOOD AT ALL!

    Except... Tomoe was charging straight for that... "... Was it her plan? Maybe she wants to stab this thing in its heart!" ... Or whatever it has in place of a heart.

    Although that -does- give her an idea.

    "Blasting it like that from the outside didn't do much... what if I fired down its mouth?! Agh, Tomoe's in there now though!"

    STill, no reason that she can't do SOMETHING.

    And so Note, still wreathed in golden energy and glowing brilliantly, takes off like a rocket, soaring the distance between herself and the Hierophant in no time at all!

    And her goal? Buzz around it like an annoying little bee, and fire ki blasts at whatever eyes or other obvious sensory organs it has!
Karian Icefang     Well, that was a spicy flying...human...thing. In what appeared to be a bad case of indigestion, the Hierophant seemingly burped...oh wait, that was an explosion. Blasting a nasty hole into it's soft, squishy underbelly, Tomoe cuts her way out. The black hole laser strikes true, blasting through even more of it's thick chitin. But STILL, the massive monster refuses to fall. Instead, it continue's to charge it's remaining cannon.
    A quick glance to Durandel, karian extends his arm to her, after a fellow wolf gives her all the melta charges, many only just needing her to hit the arming button. Once he had a grip, Karian would pour every single ounce of strength he had into hurling Makka At the Bio-Titan, or at least as close to her target destination as he could.
Alexis Maaka     Maaka takes up as much of the charges as she can carry before she hops onto Karian's arm. "Don't miss." She says tersely, before she gets coiled up like a spring. The cyborg narrows her eyes, getting out her climbing gear. Then, she's thrown like a short and hairy Canadian, hurdling toward the Bio-Titan.

    SHe fires off her grappling gun, grabbing onto the side, and she begins to climb upwards. She's so small compared to this titanic monstrosity, nothing will even notice her as she ascends.

    Going up, she makes her way towards the remaining cannon, using her magna-gloves to keep a firm grip.

    She grabs the belt the charges are stored in, and hits the arming switch as she hurls it with all her strength. 'Don'tmissdon'tmissdon'tmissdon'tmissdon'tmiss' is all she can think as she begins to rappel downwards.
Josuke Higashikata     Mainly Josuke has been trying to keep out of everyone else's way -- he figures that the best way he can help is just not making himself another objective that needs to be rescued. He's trying to mop up what he can of the smaller forces, taking some damage, both via his Stand and via his actual body. Thankfully it's not enough to take him out. Yet.

    But that big bug is MASSIVE, and it's taking a lot of firepower. And it's also still advancing. Somehow. Even after taking so much damage, it's still getting closer. That, he's gonna have to try to fix. So, Josuke uses his Stand to throw himself over the Tyranid horde, at the advancing Bio-Titan. Not at its central mass, though.

    At its feet. Because he's going to try to use Crazy Diamond to break those feet, and the ground around them, as much as possible... and then try to purposely warp the fix-job. His aim is to actually fuse the Hierophant's feet and the broken ground together, much the way he did Angelo with that big rock back in Morioh.
Tomoe Tomoe is covered in nid goo, acid and who knows what else she's managed to do some serious damage to it, with all the punishment it's taken from eveyrone else. She hit the ground hard tries to shake off the goo but her HUD has a number of debuffs and DOTs on her from that she's trying to make it away from the Titan now she's done her part.
Theurgus     Theurgus misses her mark. Something about the Hive Fleet making the normally straight beam bend away from the target and strike into a harden part of the carapace. The DCC tuts as the energy peters out, but begins charging up for another strike. Darkness beyond twilight Crimson beyond code that flows Buried in the stream of time is where the power grows I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand before the mighty gift bestowed in my worthy hands Let the Virus who stands before me be destroyed by the power I possess... INFERNAL TORRENT!" this one doesn't take a long time to gather, perhaps one she's very familiar with. The magicks coalese, and then a roaring beam of flame erupts from underneath the giant Tyranid Bio-Titan, aiming for the rent in it's armour caused by Tomoe's internal explosion, trying to burn it out from the inside before it can regenerate.
Note     Witha BLACK HOLE LASER coming her way, Note sweeeeeeeeeeerves away, flying wildly away from the Hierophant just in time to see Tomoe break out of its stomach! Hey, that'll be a great place to attack later! -- except...

    She sees Maaka fumbling around with some kind of grappling hook, calling for help...

    And so she arcs around for Maaka, swinging up under her to easily catch her and swoop off!
Alexis Maaka     "Shitshitshitshi-OOF!" Maaka's nearly hit the ground when she's suddenly grabbed, and she definitely isn't gonna say no to being caught. "My hero." She says dryly, as Note carries her to the ground. Maaka draws a Calidus shotgun from her Matter Manipulator, running like hell as she fires away explosive slugs. The ten gauge will do plenty of damage, that's for sure, but she's gonna wanna get out of the way soon once those charges go off.
Karian Icefang     With everything going on, the Titan had forgotten about Josuke, and it would be he who seals it's doom. His work with the stand manages to catch the things leg and hold it perfectly in place for Makka to successfully scale and blow off the other cannon, catching it in the weaker, sinewy part. As that part falls, Theurgus strikes true, her flames burning through it's underside wound, and straight out the other end. With a horrifying scream, the massive beasts FINALLY falls.
    A cheer erupts at the Bio-Titan falls. The guardsmen managed to reach the tower just in time to see the beast fall. They kick up fire on the nids, though they were acting confused, even downright fratricidal. It appeared that somehow, this titan was serving as a synapse link, and up above, the skies finally start to give way to sunlight. It seemed that all of their efforts managed to force off the Splinter fleet...seeking an easier meal, and leaving any nids still alive as forfeit, and to be easily hunted down.
