(Not all of the chaos marines were sent to deal with the loyalists... The rest were already sent to deal with the Tyranids)

On the north side of the city, some hundred chaos marines, led by the Dark Sentry, stand against the Tyranid forces. Wielding their bolters and staying in tight formations, they fire in concise precision at the Rippers, but from a far distance. Few shots actually impact at fyrst, but the tyranid forces are blocked off from the southern regions of the city.

Swarms of chaos cultists attack the tyranids, but they are so under-armed that they accomplish little other than providing the tyranids with more nourishment, until the Dark Sentry simply calls most of them off, except for a few wielding lasgun's or assault rifles who continue their desperate assault.

Meanwhile, in the northern region of the planet, a dark shuttle lands, carrying a small force of nearly-invisible eldar warriors, moving through the ash wastes without so much as a sound, leaving no trace...

On Alexis Alpha, the mirror knights warily descend into the temple. The ancient columns and stairs are cracked and worn, and some places have collapsed entirely. smooth, white and black rocks make up the majority of it. The surface part of the temple seems to primarily serve as an entrance to a vast, deep staircase- it is quickly searched and, besides a few strange, unidentifiable objects which are summarily sent back to the shuttle for further study later, nothing of interest is found. the staircase goes down, down, down... Deep into the earth, seemingly without end.

Then, the screeching starts.
