The Space Marines withdrawal to the ruins is hard but successful. The xenos are desperate to harass them in any way they can, but the furious fire unleashed by the autocannon of Daon and the stream of bolter shots from the lesser Space Marines sees alien corpses heaped upon the battlefield. Daon manages to strike one of the AA gun fuel cells, throwing up a tremendous blast of energy that leaves the xenos caked in ash and others caught up in a brutal blast of plasma fire, their bodies charred to a crisp.

Anat's shots prove valuable in pinning the aliens down, slowing their attempts to sweep over the retreating astartes. Thankfully, the aliens had failed to encircle the Astartes. After several minutes of brutal fighting, the Space Marines are able to seperate themselves from the xenos, retreating into the ruins.

An apothecary is quick to tend to the wounded, but five Space Marines are dead by the end of the encounter, and several others are wounded, Jarik worst among them. The white clad Space Marine works hard to ensure the Son of Horus survives, and is able to bring him back from the brink, though Jarik finds his breathing has been reduced to a horrid but functional rattle.
