(they seem alright for now, although you are doing a bit too much in each post (makes it a bit harder to react properly))

The Nightkeeper stands high over the city, watching over the battle in grim silence. With the slightest movement, he commands the deaths of hundreds of cultists, commands the marines further and further into battle. Clenching the small midnight-colored orb, it glows again with an unearthly light. He whispers a few words into it, and it fades away, its last power spent. The Nightkeeper prepares to engage the enemy with his fellow marines...

But then the next tremor hits.

It hits right in the middle of the city this time, smashing columns and breaking fortifications. While the previous ones were powerful, this one is cataclysmic. Entire sections of the city collapse and plunge into forgotten caves below. In particular, the battle between the guardsmen and chaos is completely interrupted as the very ground they stand on falls away. A battle to the death rapidly becomes a battle of survival, as suddenly forces are cordoned off and isolated beneath broken ramparts and cityscape. The Tyranids are not as badly damaged, but they are also effectively isolated.

Then comes the screeching.

It starts quietly at fyrst, barely noticeable, then getting louder and louder until its a cataclysmic roar of screaming creatures. From hidden tunnels deep below the city, a strange legion of xenos erupts from beneath the earth. Great burrowing wyrm's with draconic mouths, dark-plated insectoids similar to those found on Alexis Alpha, and finally strange lizardmen with glowing red eyes. Everywhere they erupt, they rapidly turn on all nearby foes; Guardsmen, space marines, chaos, and tyranids alike. Wielding stinger-shaped weapons covered in strange thorns, blasting with strange red lights and burning with a dark fury, they quickly swarm over the wreckage of the city.

Meanwhile, the Web King and Dark Sentry are trapped alone in a small room beneath the earth in utter darkness...

The Nightkeeper is crushed by rubble, but simply tosses it aside and stands up, quickly rallying some Chaosborne and entering a shuttle to depart- It is far too dangerous for him to stay here at the moment.

On Alexis Alpha, the mirror knights warily descend further, as a dim red glow begins to illuminate the walls and a distant chanting seems to be heard... The saiyan knights on the surface see the sky take on an unholy red pitch. The strange monster known as the Soulstealer watchs from his distant vantage point... Perhaps the only one present to understand what they face.
