Better Off Left Alone
November 18th, 2360 Plague Infested Andlorian Homeworld
< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
"Never Leave A Man Behind Enemy Lines" The centuries-old saying rang in James Korban's head as they entered the ancient battlesuit depot.  The planet had become overwhelmed with Plague or "Kregan" as the Frugan Dru'Kul had called them. The rest of the IronPride fleet had retreated throught he wormhole and now all that remained in orbit was the I.P.S. Escalibur. They had to sneak in past the hordes of Carriers, releasing their vile cargo and discharging their "Warp-Plasma Cannons" into the building. Thankfully Gargantum had been fully repaired and was ready to help.

The halls were barely shining anymore. Their forcefields had almost completely destroyed by the Plague but still were vitually impervious to human weapons. Green green and red blood seemed to cover the once magnificent halls.

They had come with a small group. Gargantum and his 2 Pharoah Aces, a small squad of 4 Pharoahs and 2 Punishers, Crasian's typical squad and Korban and one of his few remaining "Dark Angels".  They were about to approach the maincomplex where Corvin was believed to be being kept when suddenly one of the Illumnium walls came crashing down to the east. A flood of tiny warriors poured from The Great Plague. Gargantum quickly moved into position and unloaded its 8 chainguns into the hordes. It slowed them, but they were slowly gaining. "Hurry up and save Covin, I dunno how long I can hold them. Korban's in command" Ordered General Tagart. "OK, lets get moving!" barked Korban over the com channel.

"I dont like this one bit" muttered a new follower to their holy order. "We do the Sovereign's work. Those who betray him are heretics and must be punished." Responded Adept Colobe. "Then why dont we just kill him!" remarked the noob. " His NOVA Cannons strain his core too much, the explosion would kill us, and besides Archanar wants to question him. Now stop questioning my, Archanar's,  and the Sovereign's orders!" Responded Colobe harshly. "All regiment forces, retreat to evac dropships, leave everything of non-importance behind" came the echoeing voice of Archanar over the COM. "Well, then again maybe your right." responded Colobe with a bit of frustration.

  The squad was about half way to the evac ship when let another illumnium wall came crashing down. But this time it wasnt just the hordes and some of the warriors. "The Great Plague" waded throught the mass of monstrosities. Another squad fell back which were joined by the 5 profits who then quickly left in their battle barge. "DAMNIT!" Yelled the young pilot. "There is no need to panic there is a Gro-Nak Destroyer on the other side of those seige tanks". Suddenly the ceiling came crashind down appon them, killing the noob.

The ALPHA stood defiant against the horde of evil, its runeblade hewing the little monsters like they were mere flies. But even it stood in shock as the great unclean monstrosity approached it. It unleashed a barrage of IDC fire and then charged in with its blade. The monster was virtually unharmed, the creature just went semi-transparent. The ALPHA was about to flee when the Great Plague launched it through a wall.

Meanwhile, IronPride had rescued Mike Corvin almost without a hitch, well untill they saw the ALPHA get sent through a wall by the ugliest being ever. "Shogun to Escalibur, requesting deployment of HEAVY ARMS" said Korban over the COM channel. A few moments latter 2 Pelican Dropships dropped off 2 A.R.C.s, and Korban quickly put them to use against the swarm. "OK, now we need EVAC on the double!" yelled Korban as his guns began to exhaust their ammo and the swarm began to close on them.

The dropship arrive too late. The Great Plague had gotten a perfect vantage point and shot down the ship. Seeing an opportunity the beast climbed onto the ship and unload some of its infected humans. The soldiers could only stand and watch as the Space Fold drive malfunctioned and caught everyone in the bubble.

As the space folded, the majority of the installation collapsed as waves apon waves of hive carriers closed on the position. The Andlorian homeworld now belonged to the Plague.

-NOTE- The batle that followed this one was not as important and thus is not going to be told. But they reappeared in the Gro-Nak secret base, but were able to escape the Great Plague. The Great Plague was also teleported away to who knows where.
