Hogs and Da Shiny Bridges

On the surface of Dolmaska, the Hogs were prepared to make the delivery run, though most of them were annoying by their Warboss's instructions.

"'Drive slow or you's break me bitz' he sayz'..." a Hog Nob said to himself in a mocking manner. "'N don't ferget ta drive on da shiny bridges fer good luck'..."

But the instructions did not matter to them that much, because to them, anything will be worth it if they got a chance for a good old fight.

"Listen up gitz," the Nob called out, "Warboss Bashsnout sayz dere will be fightin' ahead, 'n we need ta get our gear to da SNAARL! So just be sure ta get enuf trukks past da supply station for da SNAARL!"

The Hog trucks can driving through the ravine, along with many varieties of Hog Boarz: Sluggaz, Shootaz, Stormboarz, and other kinds. Helios, Pinkie, and The Ancient along with a squad of Scout Marines, Tactical Marines, Devastator Marines, and Termineightors watched them from high atop a cliff.

"We should not strike the Hog convoy just yet." Spike advised from the ship. "If we continue for the supply station, we may find a better ambush site."

Helios and the Pony Marines headed off towards the station, galloping with great speed and destroying any dead shrubbery that stood before them. They came to a clearing at a ledge and scanned the area before them. The supply station was just yards away from their position, and the area was teaming with Hogs. Nevertheless, the Blood Phoenixes would not allow that to slow their advance. They continued along the path, and encountered a squad of Shoota Boarz. The Pony Marines opened fire at them, and the Hogs shot back. Helios charged at them and slammed into a couple of Hogs, killing them. The surviving Hogs turned and headed to the station. The Pony Marines chased after them and were then under attack by Hogs garrisoned inside guard towers. More Hogs came in and were surprised by all this.

"Wut? Dere wazn't s'posed to be any fightin while we woz lootin..." one of the Hogs said. "Da trucks are almost 'ere!" The Hog looked to the other boars. "Ready dem shootas boarz: Boss Bashsnout sayz wez need ta keep dis way clear for 'em!"

Helios and the Termineightors attacked the Hogs that were in the open. Pinkie and The Ancient took care of the garrisoned Hogs with explosives, clearing them out of the towers and making room for their forces. Helios took to the sky and slammed into the Hogs. The Termineightors' Storm Bolters tore through the Hogs like paper. Soon, all the Hogs in the area were killed off. Pinkie placed charges on explosives near the bridges. When the charges were set, Pinkie pressed the trigger, and the bridges were demolished.

The Nob leading the Hogs was immediately informed of this. "Umm, Boss? Dey destroyed dose shiny bridges you liked..." He said nervously.

"Wot?" Bashsnout said, outraged, "Oh, youz bettah be lyin' ta me boar, and youz bettah be dead before I git dere cuz don't likes bein' lied ta! Now outta me way!" He sighed in annoyance. "Looks like I gotta do all da work meself. And when I'z done fightin' yer all gettin' yer snouts bashed."

The Pony Marines now had there perfect location for an ambush. Pinkie and Scouts equipped with Sniper Rifles garrisoned the high towers, giving them a good sight range of the battlefield. The Ancient, the Tactical Pony Marines, and the Lascannon Devastators garrisoned the towers on their end of the bridge that could not be destroyed. Helios had Spike deploy Firagun turrets near opening where Hog infantry would likely come through. The Captain and the Termineightors stood at the bridge, waiting for the Hogs to strike.

"Ere we go boarz!" the Nob shouted. "Dis is where dey said da fightin' wuz!" The Hog cracked up laughing. "Hahaha, dis is excitin'! Can ya feels it boarz?"

The first truck came into view, along with two Killa Kanz and squads of Shoota Boarz. The Devastators fired their Lascannons at the truck, which took about five hit before succumbing to its damages, then they focused fire on the Kanz. Meanwhile, Helios charged at the Shootas. The Ancient, the Tactical Marines, and the Termineightors opened fire on any Hogs that came close to them. Then Stormboarz flew over them to attack from behind, but Pinkie and her Scouts quickly dispatched them. The Firagun turret gunned down Hogs coming through the pathway that no vehicle could get through. The next truck came, and was reduced to scrap by the Devastators along with the Hogs protecting it. Then the final truck came, followed by five Killa Kanz and a plethora of Hogs. The Pony Marine unleashed their fury upon the animals. The Hogs struck back as well. Blades clashed, bullets flew, and blood was spilled, but soon the Hogs were slain, and the final truck was destroyed.

"Awww, wiv all dat fightin we lost all our gear." the Nob complained. "Now its gonna take a 'HOLE day ta find all our gear again!"
