As she began to ascend Sunspot got back in touch with her

[color=darkorange]"I wanted to be strong enough to kill a certain man. With your help though I believe I can get strong enough to kill him without some evil soul stealing wish granter."[/color]

[Color=ff8566]"Indeed you can. The Officio Assassinorum trains some of the most proficient assassins this universe has to offer. Perfectly patient snipers, face changing infiltrators, holly psyker nullifiers and ..."[/color]

She was pretty sure that the man would not volunteer to become a drug fueled cyborg capable of tearing their way through entire armies to reach their target before hacking them to death to bloody pieces. Might be wise to leave out the Eversor Assassin specifics from her list.

[Color=ff8566]"...some that favor a more direct approach. The Imperium has the best weapons and training available, We can give you strength a million times greater than whatever this heretical machine is said to give. Strength that won’t cost souls or be a monkey’s paw"[/color]

Well, the greater Imperium could at least. Their presence and resources on this world was rather... Limited. As she cleared the tree line and ascended towards the clouds like a rising star she was apparently noticed by Sunspot

[color=darkorange]"Is that you flying through the air?"[/color] 

[Color=ff8566]"Yes. Getting a closer look at the big bird in the sky. The Xenos I fought yesterday was taken back to it after her allies brought her back from the dead."[/color]

She had to admit, what she ended up finding in the clouds was not what she had expected. She had expected either a bird-like ship or a Xenos flyer with perhaps a small carrying compartment, not a crow with an entire flying citadel mounted on its back. She had to begrudgingly admit that it was an impressive fortification.

[Color=ff8566]"OK. That is way more forces than I expected."[/color]

She was not particularly worried about the Myrmidons, but the false angels and the skill she saw in the two fighters concerned her greatly. Those two, plus their presumed instructor, along with the Xenos she had seen in the forest where all presumably warriors on the same level as the queen, and she had barely managed to kill her. 

Sophia might be arrogant and assured in humanity's divinely provocative superiority, but even she could see when she needed help. She relays what she sees to Jin and her thoughts on the situation to the announcer who was presumably seeing the same things through the drone.

[Color=ff8566]"I there might be something of a threat to the tournament structure here. That’s a flying fortress full of warriors and  3 to 6+ extremely dangerous champions. They could definitely barge in once the battles have taken their toll and try and kill those of us that still remain to claim the use of that heretical artifact for themselves. We need to destroy them or it before that happens."[/color] 

After about 5 minutes of hidden observation she began to get a little worried about her fuel usage and so began the cautious descent back down to the ground, aiming for where she thought she saw structures in the forest below.

The angel descends into the hidden settlement on her burning wings through a shaft of sunlight, it would have made quite the stained glass window where it not for the hideous mutation of her left arm and the now wobbly nature of her flight. She touches down atop one of the small huts and searches for her convert.

[Color=ff8566]"Jin? Sunspot? Are you there?"[/color]

She let the drone go on it’s merry way now that they were back at it’s normal operating altitude.

Some way off in the woods the mutant known as Gromory hurries through the undergrowth at the behest of its new master. The fragment of the Emperor's soul is not a trusting man by nature, being betrayed by half your sons does that to a person. It hurried its charge towards the presumably deadly meeting between his fanatical servant and the assassin, still carrying the corrupt trinket. There was no way in hell he was leaving something like that laying around for any old idiot to use.
