Arcturus feels a strange combination of relief and perplexion at the fact that the ravener had just scurried off like that. So he simply resumes torching the swarms of lesser 'nids that were encroaching on their hilltop, throwing a rather helpless look over at the giant carnifex, and the fight against the swarmlord inbetween the bursts from his flamer. He really, really wanted to get over there and help, but going up against either of those things with what little he had at his disposal would be suicide.
There had better be some support coming soon, or they'd be overwhelmed the moment people started to run out of ammunition.

Parasite, while surrounded by his his Sky-Slasher swarm, speeds down towards Relius.
Horror moves about while too small to see without looking.
Doom releases all the gathered psyker and Warp energy straight at Zee, now too close to do much to dodge.
Old One Eye lives up to the Carnifex nickname 'screamer-killer' by screraming loud enough to hurt the ears, then launching a massive amount of Bio-plasma. He then scratches a small itch on his back. He ignore the blown off leg, besides setting the stumps back together and waiting.
The Swarmlord waits patiently for Reimu to get closer.
Everywhere that the Tyranids are battling, they are starting to gain the upper hand, due to their still massive numbers, and some of the groups running out of ammo.
Just my luck. I didn't even say anything this time.
He hears the ravener rumble around somewhere beneath, and gets out of the way as far as he is able, ready to fire as soon as the thing erupts from the ground.
When in deadly danger, When beset by doubt, Run in little circles, Wave your arms and shout.-Zee grits her teeth in pain as her mind and body are assailed by the Zoanthrope's devastating psionic assault, peeling away part of her armour and stripping her wings almost to the bone. It is not enough to overcome her momentum, however, and the injured Living Saint completes her trajectory, taking her pain and using it to fuel her righteous anger; her aura flares bright, like a nova, as she swings her blazing chainsword at Doom's head, aiming to split the Zoanthrope open like an overripe melon-
THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!
The Danse Macabre CodexReimu swings her chainsword around in a wide horizontal arc, aiming to strike at the Swarmlord's left side.

Shameless Self-promotion ho!Kaguya winces as although she is some distance away, she is still too close to Old One Eye. She reaches for another spell card, trying to get a good aim.
Life...Spring...INFINITY!
A complex wave of white lasers flies from her hand, followed by a barrage of red bullets.

Meanwhile, Koishi and Satori are in range behind Doom, Koishi's power having shielded them from the Zoanthrope picking them up.
Right...let's go, sis!
Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!-Elsewhere in the forest, Squad Hakurei Imperial Gaurd leader Zentel Jennes comes face to face with his greatest fear: The Tyranids.-
Zentel: Bugs. Why did it have to be bugs?
-Ever since Zentel was a young boy on the backwater planet of Harrison, he had a crippling fear of insects and arachnids. Even throughout Early adulthood, their buzzing and biting and stinging scared him to no end. When he learned that one of the primary threats to the Imperium of Man consisted of a never-ending swarm of giant insects, he was not pleased. Whenever his platoon was slated to fight against the Tyranids, he'd always attempt to weasel his way out of it. Most of the time however,those attempts failed drastically, and it was only by the grace of the Emperor he thought that he was lucky enough to survive up until now.
Gaurdsman #3948575490: Commander Zentel. Is everything alright?
-As he took cover behind a nearby tree, it was obvious to anyone looking at him that he was very visibly shaken. From the heavy breathing to the dilated pupils, to the abundance of sweat running off his brow.-
Zentel: ...Yeah, Everything's fine.
-As the Gaurdsman's words pierced his mind, he remembered the advice given to him by his CO so long ago upon being promoted to commander. "As a leader of soldiers, you must always show yourself to be an example of bravery, loyalty and tact." The first word in particular came to mind. He realized that he needed to move forward in spite of his fears, for several reasons. First, to lead his men to victory... or to an hounourable death. Second, if he ran away, Gal'zin would never let him hear the end of it. And third, it is his duty as a servant to the Emperor... as well as his serivice to Reimu.-
-Zentel sheathes his powersword and draws from his hip... an old friend. Raijin, his trusted powerwhip from his campaign on the Han system.-
Zentel: ...Let's go squash some bugs.
-His teammates yell with renewed vigor, and proceed to charge at the nearest Tyranid pack.
I suppose I'll take Reimu back now. So what should Alice be doing?
Terror, sensing Arcturus movement, follows him while still beneath the ground.
Parasite and his Sky-Slasher swarm are almost upon Relius.
Horror is still sneaking around.
Doom dodges to the side, barely dodging Zee's attack. However, she's still burned by the attack just by being near it. Zee continues on towards the ground.
Old One Eye bats the Carnifew away from him, wondering what the heck it was. His previously fired Bio-plasma plows through the spell card and homes in on Kaguya.
The Swarmlord blocks Reimu's chainsword and knocks her away.
Relius: *hears a very loud buzzing noise and to his surprise, a giant swarm of sky-slashers are coming for him* NUMBERS ARE NOT WORTH SLAG. *fires a buckshot railgun round and a volley of pulse rifle shots at the cloud*
-A squad of Assault Marines descend on One Eye and blow holes in him with their krak grenades-
Zechariah: *lands on the beast's head and punches it with his powerfist*
Azmodai: *roasts the Tyranids attacking Zentel's men with his combi-flamer, which he made by strapping a flamer to his bolter* The Emperor is with you And he will guide us to victory!!!

Shameless Self-promotion ho!Arcturus looks about himself frantically, searching for any sort of cover or terrain that might prolong the Terror's ascent. Realizing that there is no defensive actions left for him to take, only offense remained viable. Once the huge ravener is directly beneath him he reverses the grip on Ares and stabs the sword into the earth. This seemingly pointless action was everything but, as he proceeded to release all the psychic energy he'd built up earlier into it, the old sword functioning essentially as a conduit. Had it been regular electricity that poured forth from Arcturus hands, the attack would have been pointless. But Warp magic doesn't really function on any pesky laws of physics, so instead of simply ebbing out, the attack punches through the dirt, striking at the Terror down beneath.
When in deadly danger, When beset by doubt, Run in little circles, Wave your arms and shout.Kaguya gets out her Robe of Fire Rat, draping it around her shoulders and raising the hood, and her Salamander shield, protecting her face. The plasma rages on around her, making her look like a living fireball. Her feet, due to not being covered by the robe, are horribly scorched and burnt away. After some time, she shrugs, and the plasma turns into a barrage of fireballs that are launched towards Old One Eye.

Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!Rumbling through the fore of the Imperial lines comes a Mars patterned Baneblade, flanked by three Leman Russes and two Deathstrike Missle Launchers.
The Baneblade's secondary cannons come to life as they come in range of the Tyranids, with the Leman Russes defending the Baneblade from any creature foolish enough to get too close. The Baneblade is focussing on the larger tyranid creatures, rarely firing its main turret. A lone Commissar rides the trembling behemoth, standing proudly upon its turret.
"I am Colonel-Commissar Graille, and I want you to drive me closer so that I can hit them," He jabbed his powersword at the main tyranid hive. "WITH. MY. SWORD!"
Locking you up on radar since '09Ferrum: *after pulling himself, bloodied, exhausted and battered, from a pile of corpses he literally squees when he sees the Baneblade* The Cavalry has arrived!!!
Shameless Self-promotion ho!-Upon seeing the sight, Stubbs quirks an eyebrow before returning to dancing with a Tyranid Warrior before killing them-
"Amateur."
-Fuklaw is nearby, and almost raises his Bolter to shoot Graille in the head, but stops-
Not sure if he's heretical...
-His temporary squad looks at him in a puzzled manner before one of them gets their head blown off, prompting the others to continue fighting-
Don't stop.
-Indrick Boreale and his Blood Ravens are fighting for their lives, Boreale occasionally blurting something out about SPEHSS MEHREENS. He hears the Baneblade and looks-
"LOOK, MY BATTEHL BROTHARS! THAHT COHMISSAHR EHS BEHEHVEENG LAIK A SPEHSS MEHREEN!"
-His men ignore him and continue the slogging match-
-An Angry Marine flips off Graille as he runs past, his equivalent of saluting-
"WHAT AN ATTENTION WHORE."
Kharn, meanwhile, has gotten fairly close to the main hive, a combination of his paper-based camoflague and the Gift of the Blood God allowing him to slip past unnoticed.
No, Kharn is not about to unleash some Kharnage on the Tyranid Elite, though when the others arrive, he'll certainly assist.
Locking you up on radar since '09-3 Assault Marines have Fallen to One Eye and Zechariah is losing strength...-
Azmodai: Where is the least infested path towards friendly lines guardsmen? I'm afraid that my boltgun has run low on ammo...
Ferrum: *cuts his way out of the scuffle and towards the tank battalion, picking up a battle standard from a fallen Guardsman along the way*

Shameless Self-promotion ho!-Zee lands on the ground with a pained hiss, her aura quickly making the surrounding earth charred and blackened. She whirls to face Doom, the flames around her intensifying as she focuses her pain in order to fuel her next strike. The Living Saint flexes her horrifically damaged yet regenerating wings, and a buckshot spread of pinionlike danmaku streaks towards the Zoanthrope as she lunges towards it for another attack with her chainsword-
The Danse Macabre CodexTerror bursts out of the ground, smacking Acrturus out of the way, while roaring in pain.
Parasite, having used most of the Sky-Slashers as shields, knocks Relius to the ground and prepares to rape insert Ripper larva into his body.
Horror heads for the Baneblade, still to small to be seen properly, and so is unable to be hit.
Doom grazes the danamku, which also brings her out of the way of the chain sword strike.
Old One Eye angles himself so that the fireballs end up hitting the Tengu and Cabalus.
The Swarmlord strides over to Remilia, ready to finish her off.
Meanwhile, the Bio-Titan comes upon the Hisoutensoku, and prepares to attack. If one was looking at them, one would see that the Bio-Titan looked way too much like the Hisoutensoku itself, besides being completely organic and Tyranid looking.
Flandre flies over in between the Swarmlord and Remilia and swings both Lavatein and her chainsword at him, protecting her older sister.
Using the element of surprise, Satori unleashed a burst of danmaku at Doom.
Mokou ran around behind One Eye and created her familiar wings of fire. She started firing volleys of fireballs at the large creature.

-A railgun shot blows One Eye's leg off, but it did not come from the air-
Relius: *loads another shell and aims for the thinnest, least protected part of the torso* JUST DIE ALREADY. *fires once more*
Shameless Self-promotion ho!
