Sun’Haku’s fire fails patters against the barricades as the xenos troops slink from cover to cover, narrowly avoiding his fire as they take pot-shots on the advancing Space Marines with their laser rifles. Some toss grenades – objects like balls of glass that shatter as they hit the ground, exploding in orbs of blue light that scorch the earth and fry electronics. An unfortunate World Eater is caught by one of the blasts as he launches himself straight at the enemy, the front half of his form totally incinerated. He slumps forward, his rear half still twitching in a violent death spasm. The aliens reinforce their lines with troops previously hidden in the ruins, slinking out of cover with shoulder mounted heavy weaponry.

As Jarik begins his charge, the other Space Marines move forward in a at first staggered advance. They trade shots with the aliens in the buildings, tossing grenades and returning fire whenever they can. Despite the heavy fire from the xenos and their human allies, Jarik is able to reach their lines, smashing through barricades with enough force that the shattered fragments fly through the air and crack bones and smash heads.
