Thanks to Damian "Lightbulbhel" Light for this.

I am a basic Space Marine. My name is Felix Stronglark. I am 42 years old. I live in a city call brokelock on the planet Hasfts IV. My barracks is on a large hill-fort I am a biker which has 6 battle-brothers including myself. The squad sergeant is a close friend of mine from my old village called Gordiun. I'm going to tell you a tale of battle that leads up to where I am now. I was 15 years old when a message came round the village I was living in with my parents.

It said: "This is sent by the mighty Space Marines of the Ultramarines chapter, not to do the following is an insult to the Emperor and therefore those who disobey this will be shot. You must send at least one male from each family who is ready to fight and die for the Holy Emperor. The chosen male must come out into the local market square at 12:00 noon tomorrow. A marine Recruiter will come and see if any are worthy.

My father read this out at the dinner table the night before that was when I decided to go.

"Move your arse you useless novice pups!" shouted Sergeant Otitvan. It was basic training. Myself and the fellow recruits were having our last exercise. The next day we got awoken early and got told by Sergeant Otitvan that we would be accepted as scouts the next day and would be shipped to a battlefield within a week.

After 1hour in the Thunderhawk we landed. We got out the ship then went over to the Sergeant who told us that the Orks were pushing back the eastern front with an unknown weapon and that we should go and scout out their base to try and fight the weapon and destroy it. The next day we set off. The night before we had been briefed about what we had to do on this mission. The plan was that the Orks were going to be distracted by a squad of Space Marine Bikers. They provided a hit and run mission at the front line of the greenskins so that we could get in unnoticed. The squad turned a corner and the last thing I remember was a heavy club swinging at my head I jumped back just a little too late, the club came smashing into my face.
"AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!" I screamed in pain and fury. I remember getting my boltpistol out and firing a shot at the beast but it didn't do anything. I blacked out cold.

I was trapped I let out a gasp of air. I stood up picked up my pistol and it all came back to me. The Ork, the club, the shot and the pain. I was filled with fury. I turned around and sprinted down the tunnel. I saw my squad lying on the floor I checked every single one of them they were all dead apart from Gordiun. He stood up and took the other members cartridges from their weapons I picked up the sergeants bolter and turned it in my hand.

The sergeant's bolter must be taken back." I said. We picked up all the ammo then sneaked out the tunnel into the jungle with the orks right in front of us. We saw the leader standing alone bellowing into what looked like a tube.

He was bellowing in his harsh language. Gordiun and I sneaked up behind him and we both thrust our chainsword at it with no mercy.

He turned with a look of shock on his face then he fell down dead. Me and Gordiun turned and sneaked back to the battlefield. We saw two Marine bikes left in the rubble. We sprinted towards them and leaped on them.

When we got back to base we were promoted to a basic Space Marine and given our fist purity seal! I was put into a Biker squad along with Gordiun and then training started all over again!
