Traitor Guard pt.3

Pushing their advantage, Darkhelm ordered the 666th to give chase to the Imperials. 
The Tank Commander determined to crush the Street Sweepers once and for all. 
As the 666th moved down the rubble strewn streets Imperials sprung from hiding. The Emperor's lapdogs focused their fire upon Darkhelm's battle tank in an effort to assassinate the Sagan tank Commander. 
The Imperial fire bounced uselessly of the relic tank's hull as Dekker's men gave it everything they had. The Sub Lieutenant bellowing orders to not let up. 
"Open Fire!" Darkhelm ordered over the comms. The Chimera skid to a halt and took aim. Imperials dropping in the streets in droves as multi laser fire scythed through their ranks.
Imperials rushed from cover filling the Street with a solid wall of lasfire to little effect on the armoured vehicles. The 666th return fire however destroyed entire squads with every Salvo. 
As the smoke cleared the 666th stood unbowed. Darkhelm ordered his men to disembark and dispatch any wounded. Many of the armoured fist soldiers began to take trophies, a practice that was not done amongst the 666th until now.
As Darkhelm looked on in disgust he noticed that his former comrade, Lt. Dekker was not among the dead. With a bellow he ordered his men to mount up. 
The 666th moved on to continue the hunt.

Uncovered Secrets

Doing routine logistics, Adeptus scribe Graeme Reede, of the departmento munitorum discovers something suspicious.  Following protocol Graeme contacted Inquisitor Agatha Ivana. The Scribe reported that an encrypted logistics file indicated that for months before the cult uprising somebody has been siphoning weapons and supplies to the Golden Path, marking the items as lost. Not only this, but it appears that assets and troops have been moved to the 666th Sagan regiment.  As Graeme made his report it was intercepted by Tepestor Prime, Zaggan Blackbringer, of the God sworn. Jamming the signal, Zaggan orders his men to seek the Scribe and kill him. The signal lost, Inquisitor Ivana orders Virion Stormborn of PEGASUS to retrieve Graeme and bring him in. Ivana knows that time is of the essence, as enemy troops are no doubt seeking the Adept themselves.

Exhausted and having taken heavy losses, Lt. Dekker knew that the Street Sweepers could not take much more. Dekker and Commissar Brawn devised a plan that they hoped would turn the tide of the battle and restore morale to their men.  They lured the 666th into a dense neighborhood where the tanks would have trouble navigating. Circling back they caught the armoured fist squads from the rear and used their mobility and numbers to attack the traitors. Running from ruin to ruin under covering fire of the wyvern the Street Sweepers were able to easily get withing range to make use of their melta guns, heavily damaging Darkhelm's tank as well as the Chimera transports without taking many casualties. His Russ billowing smoke, Darkhelm was forced to order a retreat, the Streetsweepers cheering as the tanks limped away.

Knowing that Tank Commander Darkhelm possed a very real threat the servants of the corpse emperor once again made an attempt on the Sagan's life. Luring the 666th deeper into the hab, the Streetsweepers turned to fight, in hopes of eliminating Darkhelm before it's too late.  Lt. Dekker and Commissar Brawn order their men forward with threats that any man falling back would face the Emperor's wrath at their hands. The Imperials let loose a hail of lasfire, but Darkhelm's leman russ was immune to such small arms and the Las shots struck uselessly on it's sturdy hull. Brawn cursed the men for lacking sufficient faith in the Emperor as he witnessed the soldiers' best efforts come to naught. The sacrifices  of Dekker's men was just a ploy. A squad of infantry led by a scout Sentinel snuck through the rubble strewn hab block, getting behind Darkhelm and his tanks. The s...
