Raziel Things have become bad on Tabor.  The Genestealer Cult Uprising was in full swing, nearly everywhere in the hive city, there was fighting.  It didn't matter who you were, rich or poor, young or old, innocent or guilty.  The cult killed anything that wasn't it.  Thankfully, however, the Cult of Slaanesh and the inquisition were planetside and both aiding where they could.  

Cult intel became invaluable to outmaneuver cult movements and plans.  Not only that but to help shield planet forces from their intelligence.  Teleportation spells were used to bring strike groups into surprise ambushes.  Long laid out plans were interrupted because of a Concord group fishing for clues in the right spot.  

Inquisition forces, on the other hand, scoured through the underhives, tearing through all but the most entrenched cult holdings.  All things concerned, things weren't great, but they weren't bad either.  Not just because of the local forces being forced to work together for their mutual survival, but because of the Concord's extraverse aid.  Of course, those in the know see that there is a ticking time bomb out there.  

The gravitational anomalies are increasing.  Indicating that the hive fleet was still coming.  The item in their possession and their genestealer 'father' would likely be the source of this.  

Luckily, for you, intelligence from two sources aid in tracking down where you need to go.  Inquisition intelligence tracks the hive's main stronghold, their greatest area of influence, and the area suffering the most from mutations and the land starting to be terraformed into an advantage for it.  This combined with the Priestess' sorceress powers allows them to track it down to a specific building.

A spire, that was once an old abandoned apartment building rises from the ground.  Metal and concrete intertwined with fleshly growths, gross secretions, and pools of various toxic fluids starting to form around it.  It's a sick and twisted design, but if there were anywhere highly defended, it'd be here.  

Whatever means of entrance you take, you will crash through defenses, kill your way through mutated horrors, terrible xenomorph-esc terrors, and generally dangerously gross things.  Eventually, coming to the Upper layers to face down the bald-headed man, now dressed in fine silk clothes and holding a staff.  On the staff, rests a strange square that glows with ethereal energies.  

Standing with him are several mutated guards, all with heavy weapons.  Las cannons, bolters, and even a single heavy bolter in the hands of a man with four arms and larger than he has any right to be.  With them is a single genestealer, but a highly advanced one.  Terrible claws on each hand, it stands easily above the others.  More than that, a similar psychic presence can be seen emanating from his own head.  It seems that the device was aiding in its summoning.

Which means...destroying the device would not be enough.  Both devices and creatures would need to be killed.
Majima Goro Majima's not wearing his jacket.
His torso's bare. He's got some cuts along his tattooed form, but the red Hannya demon mask on his back remains shimmering bright.
"..Ya breakin' ya fuckin' lease terms here," Majima decides to take the lead, on account of he knows perfectly well he has the best lines. "...so on behalf of Majima Construction, since we fuckin' own this place, this is ya eviction notice."

In particular, he draws his tanto, the sheathed knife drawn open and the sheath tossed aside. "...terms are, as I understand, that ya leave that fuckin' cube thing, and we're gonna have ta euthanize your pet here," He says, pointing to the giant...well, the monster thing. He doesn't know what a genestealer is.

"...If the rest of ya want to live, act accordingly, eh?!"
Kotone Yamakawa Things are going to hell in a handbasket with a bow on it. The cult is in full swing up against everyone else. Rich? Poor? Chaos? Whatever the cult was killing everything. it was going to be hard fighting and Kotone knew it. These cultists from what she knew where twisted in such a way that well there wasn't much she was aware she could do. She also knew their masters had poisoned Karian as well. She was not a happy cyborg, the factions of the Chaos cult and the Imperium were actually working with the multiversal as in the end everyone wanted the planet intact and the Genesteeler cult would leave nothing in the end.

Rather than bring her power armour her today she'd opted to carry other heavy weapons she could use on foot and would be cloaking in and out as needed being a phantom for the most part as the primary target had to go but here and there she would be laying plasma grenade for some very nasty surprises.

As she pushes through finally making it to their target, she's forced to decloak a bit before she arrives the small looking woman is clad in combat kit of strange yet clearly human design.

Goro being a Concord operative and the world belonging to them? She's going to not complain about his offer to them. However, Kotone moves to flank and back the man up.

"This is the best offer you are going to get. I suggest you listen to Mr. Goro."

She keeps her rifle ready waiting and watching how this will play out.
Raziel "Ha!  Do you think this is my pet?  This is our /father/.  The reason we all exist, to bring the great gods above here.  Those who are unworthy will die, and the rest of us will ascend!  Powerful you might be to get here, but you will not leave this room alive...and even if we pass, we will not fail."

An alien language comes out of his mouth, and the entire room seems to erupt in action.  Heavy weapons come down and fire at Goro and Kotone, aiming to tear through them.  The Magus of the group stands near the Genestealer, and his staff hits the ground.  

The ground below starts to shift dangerously, turning into various dangerous and sticky fluids and generally gross, but also hazardous terrain.  Oddly, this terrain does not seem to affect the Cultists or the Tyranid forces.  

In fact, when the floor completes, small sacks rise out of the ground.  They are alien and biological in appearance.  One of the weapons manages to hit one, and it explodes violently, spreading corrosive fluid into the air.

It seems you not only have to worry about being shot, sticky ground but ALSO bombs.  Uh oh.
Kotone Yamakawa Kotone Yamakawa says "You heard him."

Kotone levels her rifle at this point and the weapons fire is already rattling away at them, she one cloaks and bounds away she gets caught by some rounds but not the full barrage using this moment of flicking out she'll ready a plasma grenade and chuck it for the face man for the cult.

She'll start on the move the terrain does not bother the cultist or the Tydnids she knows her cloak might not last too long but it should help. With the sticky nature of the ground if Kotone was not superhumanly strong she would be in a lot more trouble than she was.

The heavy weapon cultists are her main focus for the moment as she adds to her earlier grenade by laying down a barrage of fire as she gets on the move.

She's firing in bursts before forcing herself to move.

<<Mr. Gogo we got to take them down fast. The father should be the main thing we take out the rest are fodder. I'll try to keep the heavy weapons off you.>>
Majima Goro Majima should probably be afraid. Really, the sane thing to do here would be to run from the weird creepy flesh acid bomb business.

Screw it, though. This is the most exciting thing he's had to do in weeks. It's crazy, and he is absolutely going to lean into this. The first problem: The gunfire. His body suddenly flares with a pink fire, the man hitting the ground. Not /stopping/ on the ground, mind you. He lands on his shoulder, rolling over and kicking his legs out, spinning around for a moment just long enough to attract the next round of fire.

Then he jumps, moving out of the way almost like a wriggling snake. He's no gun guy--but he bets they'll stop firing at him once friendly fire becomes an issue. The first thing is that staff. He's just going to try to kick that right out of this weird cult asshole's hand.
"Cant'cha just collect some Shooeh Pipppis or some shit?"
Raziel Shots hit the 'fodder' as they are called.  Armor is burned, holes are made, but it seems there are no front line troops.  These are the vanguard for the leaders of this rebellion.  They are the strongest, the best equipped, and the most dangerous.  Combined with a religious fervor that puts even the most devout of souls to shame.

The one that Kotone shoots, turns his heavy bolter towards her, and releases a sustained fire at her, focusing on a target instead of simply a spray over the two of them.  It's not that he was not hurt, but it's just that he seems to be able to keep going despite his injuries.

The one with the las-cannon finds his face smashed into the ground, however, the other troops who aren't firing at Kotone, turn their weapons onto Goro.  They release their own fire, even though there are friendly targets in the way.  They appear to have little care for their own lives, only the goal of serving those above them.

The Magus finds his staff knocked from his hand, his wrist snapping back in pain.  However, he lets his robe slip off his body, as his body seems to not be an overweight man, but a very /strong/ man, enhanced by his Tyranid heritage.  Smashing his head forward, he attempts to drive it right into Goro's nose.  

The Genestealer starts to fade from view, it apparently is stalking.
Kotone Yamakawa Kotone Yamakawa has picked a poor choice of words. For she's quick to find out here as she's got a heavy bolter to deal with. She knows of the weapons and knows how bad it would be to get by a round the cultist sh hit just is able to keep going with the sort of damage enduring abilities a combat cyborg on her homeworld would have. Just what the heck are they?

She is caught by one of the bolter rounds this forces her out of the air and does some damage to her but she is able to keep going but what is clear. She could be partially or totally mechanical it would be hard to tell. She shifts weapons using her matter manipulator to swap out her rifle for a heavy rail gun of some sort. She's able to carry it well enough and will take shots at the Heavy Bolter cultist and his companions as she's forced to keep moving. Goro, on the other hand, seems to

<<Damn it where did the Father go?!?>>

Is it running? She's not so sure, no it's likely targeting them to ambush them while they are fighting it's cultist.
Majima Goro Majima is going to take some laserfire. That's inevitable. He's good at dodging, but he's not perfect. And as the lasers scald over him, he even shouts angrily. But he has adrenaline going. MOST of this fire is about to be in his favor anyway.

"...Nehehehe!" He responds to the headbutt by matching it, smashing his forehead directly against the Father's. Here's the difference--Majima's wearing a hard hat. That encounter is going to go roughly in Majima's favor, even if it causes his knees to buckle a bit. The Genestealer isn't his problem. He'll deal with that massive, clawed crisis when it ambushes him.

Right now, he's going to use his position to push the leader of this Cult directly into as many of his follower's shots as he can, while kicking that staff further away.

"Hey! Kotone. Break the fuckin' cube thing!"
Raziel Hard hat verse genetically mutated xeno-abomination.  The two collide, and while the hat might be dented, the face of the magus is broken.  Staggering, the Magus finds his staff farther from him, which causes him to growl in annoyance.  

He steps forward, as a shot hits him across the chest.  His bare chest takes another shot, and then another as Majima maneuvers him into the line of fire.  He turns, aiming to attempt to grab Majima in a bearhug, followed by a second pair of arms moving to wrap around him too, both aiming to crush.  

Blasts of the rail gun shoot through the larger man, this causes him to drop.  Those shots simply did not care about armor, and without it, he had as much toughness as a normal...abomination.  Some cultists break off from shooting at their ally to shooting Kotone.  Two claws finally tear through the air right behind Kotone.

The Genestealer goes for any flesh or organs they can find...for reasons.
Majima Goro Majima Goro doesn't have anything pithy right now. He's forgotten about the whole 'life and death' thing. This is a Fight. This is good. This is life.

"Nehehehe WAHAHA!" That bearhug--oh. Oh, no. He doesn't need encouragement to not get bear hugged. He had that shit in the eighties. He's fought his share of beefy guys, and the only difference between two and four arms is that you /double/ don't get your spine snapped letting that happen.

And so, he dodges in the most infuriating way possible. He just leans backwards and lets the first two, and the second two, catch air. And then he springs up, knife in hand again. Now that those arms are distracted for just a moment, he wants to get a knife right between those ribs for a /completely/ non-lethal old-fashioned chest stabbing.

To be fair, it probably /won't/ kill the guy.
Kotone Yamakawa The cube! She has to get the cube all things other than the Father and taking out the cube. Do not matter in the end with the mission they have.

<<I gotcha!>>

The Heavy Bolter cultist is down, good that's one less problem to worry about. AS she now trying to weave through all the fire coming her way and making for the cube. She needs to get a good shot off at it, something comes from behind at her. The claws catch her and dig into her body but there's a problem.

Well in the hunt for her remaining flesh, she's got about as much flesh left as a High Ranking Tech-Priest with is almost none. This is bad for her as it's basically her brain and part of her central nervous system. Which is what the Genesteler will go after if it can.

The pain is fairly bad and Kotoine reacts on instinct. She will let lose her internal taser system and turns off any limiters. As she lets out as much electrical power into the thing that's ripping into her as she can. All with the intent to get it to let go of her.

<<Cube... get it.>>

She will then attempt to wrench free as she continues to dish out the electrical charge.

The Geneseeler will know what flesh she has left brain basically.
Raziel The genestealer goes for the vital flesh, only to learn that the only thing that exists is actually useless for their purpose.  Even as the electrical energy surges through it, it rips itself clean and staggers back.  It lets loose a roar, as suddenly, every single person on the field with a gun points it right towards Kotone.  It appears that the Genestealer did not like what just happened to it.

The Knife digs into the chest of the man.  The blade, obviously enchanted with merciful, sticks out of its chest.  Looking at it, one of the hands reach up to grab it, and then toss it to the ground.  It bleeds, but its head looks up towards Majima.

Then a hand aims to try and grab his head, aiming to try and drag him across the floor and SLAM him into the nearest wall.  "I am going to ENJOY killing you.  You singlehandedly turned all of our plans from assured victories to muddled fights.  With your death, I will break your forces!"
Majima Goro Hey, the guns aren't pointed at Majima anymore! That's fantastic!

Majima doesn't dodge the head grab. He's dragged along, looking around a little. He stumbles, but... "If all ya plans can be ruined by a guy with a fuckin' bat, a knife, and a hardhat, maybe ya plans suck," He replies.

And then, the wall-slam is attempted. And as he's slammed forward..

HEAT ACTION: Essence of Wall Run


He rushes forward towards the wall instead, kicking upwards. He gets his legs on it, pushing forward and upwards as he runs a few steps up, twisting out of the cultist magi's grasp. And then, once he's in the air, two steel-toed boots flip around, and Majima moves to kick with both feet directly into his foe's face. "NEHEHEHAAAAAA!"
Kotone Yamakawa Kotone Yamakawa has no idea the fate she's just avoided by having almost no flesh left to her she only knows she's in pain and has taken some very notable damage. Thankfully she still has her railgun. She's free of the alien's hold now. In exchange, however? She's under fire as many cultists start to shoot shooting her. Some rounds connect with her, she's moving again. She moves she keeps the Railweapon ready and as the fire rains around her she will lay down fire on the Genesteel fully intend to pump as many rounds as she can into it.

She's taking more fire and there's no way to avoid all of them. She knows Majima is fighting hard still damn to take out his target and she needs to get her's down.

She then moves again leaping into the air, double jumping and dashing as she lines up one last shot, hoping the sudden movement on her part will catch her target off balance.
Raziel Shots continue to rain over Kotone, threatening to tear her apart if she doesn't do something quickly.  However, she chooses to try and take out the target.  She tries to shoot the thing in the chest, but it tears right, trying to get away from her.

However, her own reflexes are fast to react, and another shot tears out, ripping through the claws on the right side.  However, instead of trying to avoid her now, it charges.  Another shot tears into its chest, but it still charges, all remaining claws aiming to come down in a horrible blender of death.  

The steel-toed boot smashes into the head of the Magus.  He staggers, blood pouring out of its head, ears, and mouth.  That caused some brain damage, but still, he stands.  He turns around, aiming to put everything into this next shot.  His hands aiming to try and grab Goro by the throat, before attempting to lift him up to choke the shit out of him.  

"I should have recruited you, plans that took years, so easily collapsed because you underestimate your own charisma and force of personality...or perhaps it was just your goddamn luck!"
Majima Goro That's still a lot of hands, and Majima's still only really practiced with dodging two hands. And so, he's lifted into the air, one hand on the Magus's to try to pull himself free.
"...shit, ya startin' ta sound inta me, here.." The Mad Dog of Shimano sputters. He kicks a little, uselessly, before his free arm is raised. There's something in his hand, emitting a small number of sparks. He's glad he's wearing gloves right now, before in a swift movement, he moves to shove the firecrackers into the Magus's mouth, and hold it shut with his gloved hand long enough for them to start to go off.
Kotone Yamakawa Kotone Yamakawa has taken a lot of hits here and isn't doing the best in the world. She does have the Genesteeler coming right for her and she levels her weapon again as it charges. She fires another round at it, trying to hit it's center of mass again, she'll fire another shot as it's coming at her like a blender of death she holds her ground for a bit longer shooting then leaps right up and rather than dashing forward she dashes back taking several hits from the cultists but hopefully it's the lesser of two things.

<<I'm not sure how much longer I'll last.>>

She's getting a lot of warnings at this point from the hits she has taken and she does not want to end up in the embraces of the alien at all.
Raziel The firecrackers go into the mouth of the Magnus, the man is surprised by the surprise action, and when they go off it is a literal mouth of pain.  Fire and explosions tear through his face as he lets go of Majima and staggers like a drunk man around, trying to claw at his face and try and recover.  

This is the perfect set up.  Take it home!

On the other hand, shots tear through the Genestealer.  While it's definitely dying, it is now in the throes of death.  It charges with abandon, trying to drive those claws through her.  It's beyond pain, it's beyond caring now...it's going to die, and all it cares about is taking her down with it.

The others can sense this, each of them firing at her.  She might win this, but it...well, it'll be costly.
Majima Goro There is not much time. Majima has to finish this before Kotone goes down. Luckily, he's still pretty hyped. He doesn't have to do something as embarassing as sit there and swig an entire can of energy drink. No, he's fighting goddamn alien cultists in space. This is already great. He's at peak, maximum ability to give as many fucks about this situation as need be.

He flares yellow. A wooden bat is drawn, and swung to the Magus's knees. If he is lucky, and if he is -not- lucky, all is probably lost...

The Magus will go down on his knees. And Majima will take that bat, and he will shove the tip of it into the horrible man-esque's mouth.

A pause, and then he will roundhouse kick the bat--still betwixt the Magus's jaws, upwards into the air, catching it on the way down.
Catching the bat, that is. What happens to the Magus's jaw is far out of Majima's wheelhouse.
Kotone Yamakawa Kotone Yamakawa she's fatally wounded the Genesteeler that much is good but she's going to end up paying some serious price here to bring this thing down for good. As the cultists open up on her she's playing keep away. She chucks a plasma grenade at the Genestealer. She will then chuck another at the cultist she knows they will keep coming and this is about as much of an assault as she can muster at the moment, the railgun's empty just about and she's under too much fire to be able to reload it at this point.

She takes her last plasma grenade and chucks it towards the cultist again trying to lessen the barrage of fire as a las round catches her in the midsection.
Raziel Plasma bombs go everywhere.  Explosions tear through everything around Kotone, including herself.  While her own nearly dead body may hit the ground, the Geanstealer finally loses enough of its body to finally realize it was dead.  Falling over, it collapses into burnt chared sections.

The last of the grenades land in front of the remaining cultists...who are either now hyper dead, or bleeding out.  

The Magnus takes the bat to the knee, followed by the bat being shoved into his mouth before it was KICKED so hard that it nearly snapped its neck.  He falls backward, hitting his head on the ground.  After some convulsing, the staff starts to vibrate.

It's trying to open something..?  Apparently, it's reacting to his dying body, and burning the rest of his life to take one more strike at you.  Until something like a lightsaber rips through the floor from below.  Slowly, the spirit of the man and Raziel float up, as the Soul Reaver remains very impaled in the man.

"Do you see it now?  The monsters that you served?" he asks, bitter in his tone, his eyes narrowed down to slits as the ghost of the cultist writhes in pain.  "And in that knowledge, go..." he says, as the reaver itself Flashes, slowly sucking the soul into itself.  

"Haaa..." He says, reenergized.  "It appears the Sorceress was right, and that moment was the best to strike," he comments to Majima, "Apologies to make you fight that battle alone."

The staff, however, was now holding a sphere, not a cube.  
Majima Goro Majima wheels the bat around in the air a few times, before finally just starting to laugh.
"NehehaHAHAHA!" He barely even seems to register Raziel for a long moment. "...Ah, that..." There's a long sigh. "That shit'd better be it."
Kotone, meanwhile, is basically dying. He should -probably- do something about that, but first. ..right.
"...Shit, didja just eat a soul?" Majima asks, starting to look around. "..Nah, fuck it. Fuck it. Don't care." The staff has, instead of a pretty awesome looking cube, some dumb looking orb. Perfect. He steps over to try to rip it out of the staff. "...And Gilgy-chan gets his souvenir. All in all, ya know, decent day."
Kotone Yamakawa Ask Kotone a decade ago that she would be doing something like and a cyborg to boot. She'd have called you mad for suggesting any of those things. Now she's having one hell of a bad day, she finally gets a breather she slumps leaning on her railgun to support her damaged body. Warnings are flashing as she attempts to keep her balance she's in bad shape she can see Raziel and she's not sure what's happened to the cult leader and isn't going to ask at this point.

"Did you get the objective? ... I need to get to a cyberdoc. Given what would have happened if we failed? I'll agree on that with you."
Majima Goro "..." Majima puts the orb..somewhere. "...Yeah, uh...huh. do I..get a wheelbarrow or some shit for that? ...Cause there's..still all that gunk and toxic shit on the awy down," He says to Raziel. "...'course, if you're willing to spook the shit outta some folks, maybe ya can..glide her out the window or something?"

There's a moment. "..I ain't callin' Nishida up here, at the very least, guy's got it hard enough."
Raziel "Yes, I can do this," Raziel says, helping support Kotone with his own body, aiming to start to leave...

There is another shaking of the ground, this one more violent than the others, but it stops as suddenly as it stops.  Raziel looks oddly at the two, this was supposed to stop the shakes, but maybe...it was an aftershock of being released?

<"Sirs,"> Says someone from the Administrative building, <"We got a problem on our hands.  Right before whatever you did happen...something came through the warp.  And I got good news and bad news."

<"The bad news is that some of the hive fleets still managed to get here...the good news is...just a small part.">

"None of that is good news..."
