Sergeant Tiderus stood firm, looking across the flat plain, his squad looked upon him, no one could imagine his thoughts or ideas.
"Brothers!" announced the Sergeant "Today, this day, we as a force of the Emperor, strike them!, for to long have we hidden behind our walls, This Day  we take the fight to them!, these may be my last words, but if these are to be my last words then they shell be my best!, be this our greatest day!" the sergeant looked behind him, the sun was slowly emerging, seeing this the sergeant flicked back roudn to face the front " Today IS OUR DAY, And this Day We shell not Falter, By the Emperors Will!"
finishing this sentance the sergeant, jumped out of the bunker and charged full might across the open plain , never looking back for a second, seeing this, his squad rose to follow there noble leader, they to sprinted into the plains, never pausing or looking back. They just kept going there sergeant a the front wanting to be the first to reach the enemy, the remainder of the ultramarines second company, seeing this rose to the accasion!

Chapter II

06:34 hours

The Marines charged gracefully across the open plains, kinves drawn, they knew there day had come, outnumbered, fighting foes of a montsrous size and nature, but this did not falter the marines, it only strengthened there will. Sergeant Tiderus, who led the holy charge saw something in the distance, he knew at first sight what he saw, he rose his chainsword high in the air and let out an allmighty roar as he sped off into the distance. The enemy could not see these marines charging towards them, the Light of the Dawn blocked their vision, but one enemy, one the largest most discusting of them, did not need eyes to se, the light didnt distaught its vision, it clicked and hissed somehow warning the smaller of them to gather. Spores flew through the air, raining upon the marines, they did not take the lives of many, but still weakened the charge, the only men that didnt decrease in speed, were the men of sergeant tiderus, and the sergeant himself. the marines drew ever closer, the enemy could just make them out in the distance now, black blurs growning, and fast, the enemy rose and charged into the marines together, allmost synchronized. Sergeant Tiderus saw the enemy moving towards him, a small smirk spread across his face as he got closer and closer. until finally the enemy was nore more then 10 meters away, there fleshy guns firing strange ammo, which simply bounced of the marines. Sergeant tiderus got closer, 9m away...7m....1m. the sergeant slashed his chainsword through the air gracefully slaying 3 hormagaunts, he stood alone fighting the gaunts slaying many, they could not touch him, until finally the rest of the ultramarines second joined in, it was 53 marines against countless nids, the sergeant had a sence of pleasure as he tore the gaunts apart with simple attack, the gaunts were losing, they could not beat this force, not with gaunts, the last of the gaunts was slain, it made a quite smack on the dry ground as the marines stood silently, 41 marines stood firm, none of the sergeants squad injured.
"Your move..." whispered the sergeant to himself, as he stood there staring into the distance[/i]

Chapter III

08:17

The 41 reamaining Ultramarines gathered into there tactical squads. the squads formed up together then spread out across the plain. moving down the plain with haste, yet still aware of anything around then.
as the time passed, a sand storm erupted, the squad were cut of from eachother, the only contact with other squads was on the radio, yet that was still fuzzy. Sergeant Tiderus walked through the sand storm without a falt in his movement as the storm hit him, his squad followed him, trying to keep up. the Sergeants radio link opened up and strange noises flooded his sound, he could hear loud bangs and strangle noises made by no human, then a voice came through "This ................ 4, ........................ has bin overun....... retreat .......... extraction point bravo......... HURRY, we cant hold th......."
the comm link closed. the sergeant did a U turn and started running of into the storm, his squad followed, not knowing what or who they ehard over the radio, they jsut followed the sergeant without question.
"Brothers, that was tactical squad 4 on the radio, extraction points alpha has been overrun, we must head as quickly as possible to extraction point bravo and wait for pick up!" exclaimed sergeant tiderus "this is no ordinary sand storm we have walked into......"
the marines came to an opening in the storm, a hill upon the center of it, extraction point bravo was in there site. hastily they moved up the hill checking for signs of life, or signs of death.  the top of the hill was open and clear, the pick up team were on there way, but none of the marines knew how long, or whoelse would make it in time.
"make a defencive perimiter of the hill let nothing pass us without us knowning first. the marines got into position, watching. Brother Devius looked around, he saw his sergeant, standing looking down the hill, a strange gas like blur was surrounding him from behind.
"LICTORS" Roared Devius while spinning around and unleashing his bolter on the cloud, the blur changed quickly and the lictor flew to the ground, suffering 7 well palced rounds in its skull.
the sound of slicing could be heard, at this moment brother devius saw Brother Flavius fall in two. another lictor, the blurs were surrounding them. the marines all rose dodging the blurs and huddling up, making a defencive circle, swipe Brother lennus went down, his legs cut off. the lictors were closing in, there was two many to stop them.
"FOR THE EMPEROR, the other squads came charging up the hill, the lictors fell to the ground as the heavy weapons ripped there carcases in two, the remaining space marines gathered, no gaps, as to let nothing slip by. Sergeant Tiderus, kneeled by Brother Lennus, he was alive. both of his legs lost from the knee cap down.
"DO IT" shouted Lennus.
the sergeant pulled out his boltpistol, stood tall, and shot a round through the center of lennus's skull.
"may the emperor have mercy on them for this" grumbled Tiderus.
the blackhawk finally arrived, taking the 27 survivors back to the main outpost.

Chapter IV

13:29 hours

The HQ, was to quiet, 27 marines was all that was left, along with the thunderhawk crew. 8 men of Squad 1, lead by Sergeant Tiderus, 3 men remaining of Squad 2, 6 men from squad 4, 6 marines from squad 5, 4  from squad 6, there was no squad 3 anymore. all insterstellar comm systems were dead, there was no off world contact. they were alone. the base which consisted of 4 walls and 3 turrets and 1 gate, it was small but still to big for 27 marines. the marines spread out across the walls. mines had been layed around the base. there was no denying it. they were coming and there was no stopping them. the only hope was keeping the outpost alive until reinforcements arrived, if they would arrive...
the marine sat patiently, they did no fear what was coming, they had no reason to, they only feared failing the emperor...

17:53 hours

... Spore mines rained the skies, they hit the walls but made no dents, the mine were exploding like crazy tho, the marines seen no enemys, the spore mines were being used to detonate the bombs.
*Hiiissssssssszzzzzzz*  a marine flicked his head round, he could see nothing, but the hissing continued, the sun was setting, this was bad.
*BANG* one of the undetonated mines went of and another! and another!
along with clicks ans hiss's, they were coming more frequent now, everyone could hear them. the marines were surrounded.the lights built onto each wall was the only thing stopping it from being total darkness. a claw left the shadows and entered the light *BANG* it was blown of. the gaunt fell into the open light and hiss's vioently, a marine pumped a bolter roudn through its skull. the darkness seemed enraged at the site of this, the nids starting swarming out of the shadows flooding the visable areas.
the marines pumped round after round into the swarm, many fell but 2 more would fill there spaces. a psychic blast thru flew the air knocking a marine of the walls, the smaller gaunts were jsut cannon fodder! blasts coming from all directions hit marines hard. then out of the shadows from no where genestealers! surrounded the marines on the walls, the sergeant jumped off the wall into the courtyard slicing a genestealer while doing this. marines were falling all around.
"RETREEEEEAT!!!!!!" yelled the sergeant. the remainder of the marines retreated to the center of the outpost into the barracks.
"they shell not enter here so easily, we have maybe 20 mins before they break through the walls" said Devius.
there were only 6 marines remaining, all from squad 1.
"Brother Damoclus and Brother Medarus did not make it i see" sighed Tiderus "board up the doors, this shell be our last stand, lets not let our brothers die in vein, we 6 brothers shell show these bastards hell" shouted tiderus

Chatper V

(when reading the story and you imagine it in your head, when you read a line with *** above it, it means when imagining in you head it must be sorta jittery and slow motionish, also has a soft choir humming noise, all other sounds are made very quiet, end it when theres another ***)

21:13 Hours

"Brother Damoclus, guard the west wall, Brother Severus the east wall, Brother Tatocus the North entrance, Brother Paffeus the South entrance, Brother Devius with me on the main entrance."
the 6 marines got into there positions. they stood perfectly still,the thuds againts the walls were loud, but they did not event dent the imperial walls of the barracks. *SMASH* a dent was made in the main gate *SMASH* again, the door was slowly breaking.
the Sergeant spat " carnifex..." he muttered
*SMASH* the door was allmost coming down
"BROTHERS, THIS IS IT, this is our final chance to show them who we are!, WHO ARE WE! *WE are the ULTRAMARINES* thats right!, no bastard scum will defy us. if these scum shell take us, then let that scum have to fight to take us! this is our last stand, the last hope to save this planet, if  we fall this planet falls, you know what i say to that!... let them come!"
***
*SMASH* the main gate flew of its hinges smashing on the ground, with this swarms of ugly disgusting gaunts ran in, the 6 marines stood there ground, each nid that entered the barracks, 3 more were killed because of it. *SLASH**SLASH* Brother Tatocus was cut in three, lictors had somehow sneaked in! Tiderus wiped it out in 3 shots to the face. as the battle raged on, the gaunts never stopped, until the footsteps grew louder and feircer, the carnifex one of the most hideous creatures ever to be seen entered, its foul weaponry destroyed Brother Severus. Brother Paffeus unloaded his multimelta on the carnifex's face, it did not fall, merely destroyed its facial structure, its gigantic claw swiped clean through Paffeus. The 3 remaining marines, slowly retreated.
"We cant hold them" yelled Tiderus " arm the melta bombs!"
Damoclus ran to a melta bomb and armed it, Tiderus did the same for another
"2 LEFT!"
Devius ran to the closest one and armed it. a lictor appeared from nowhere taking Devius's left leg, with a roar pain he smacked in to the floor, rolling over bolter in one hand, bolt pistol in the other he annihalated the lictor before it could give the final blow
"GO ILL arm the last bomb" yelled Devius as he staggered across the floor
Tiderus and Damoclus retreated up the stair well leading to the roof. a bone sword pierced Devius through the shoulder, the Tyrant had found its way inside, pinned to the ground, he couldnt move, the last melta bomb was in sight. Swarms of Warriors were on the tail Tiderus and Damoclus, a shot from a barbed strangler whelped Damocluc in the back flooring him, before helping him up, the final blow was struck as another shot hit him in the head. Seeing this tiderus unloaded his bolter clip on the persuing warrior, bullets piercing there bodies.
Devius reached for his boltpistol, trying to shoot the melta bomb, the bone  sword had him pinned to the ground, the tyrant had left to hunt Tiderus. *BANG* Devius missed. Tiderus's clip was empty, so he ran, drawing his chainsword and chucking his bplter aside, he reached the roof, he looked back, nothing there. *BANG* Devius missed again,  his pain was distorting his aim. Tiderus wandered round on the roof. What Now? *SMASH* the tyrant burst through the roof, it stared at Tiderus.
Tiderus had nothing to lose anymore, he just charged at the tyrant, slashing his chainsword, it made no dent on the leg of the tyrant, it jsut smashed him away with its claws. it walked up to his body and stamped its foot on tiderus. crushing him with his monstrous feet. *BANG* the melta bomb erupted with explosions setting the other 3 bombs off. Tiderus looked around as the buildings exploded until BANG the bomb closest to him went of sending him and the tyrant flying. *SMACK* he landed... 23:59 Hours

[migb]

You were right - the chapters did get better.
The last two are quite good.  

There is a lot of spelling mistakes you should hunt down. Most of them are simple typing errors, wrong letter or a letter missing.

[blackt]
