The empress lands on the ground, her robotic suit damanged severly."D-d-d-da-a-a-a..." It seems the voice box was damaged. Her imperial guard rushed, taking as much damage as needed to secure their emperess. This, combined with the less than lethal shots allow them to get their empress to the shuttle, and allow them to cover it as it starts to fly off. What happens next, depends upon her escape.
The Flayed Ones didn't care about the mechanical bodies of the automatons, using their long claws to cut into the remains of the Chaos Marines. Ripping through the remains of their armor, they dig into the flesh and bone as they rip out large sections of meat. They smear the meat across their face, where the mouth of a living being would be, their deluded senses filling with a hunger for flesh that the robotic being could never satisfy, no matter how many it killed. However, their insanity had already driven the Flayed Ones far beyond the boundaries of reason and logic, little more than bloodthirsty killing machines with no regards for order.
The Necron Lord ordered his men to open fire, attempting to kill the Flayed Ones to prevent spread of the curse. However, in typical fashion, they simply retreated to their home dimension before any serious damage could be dealt. Only the most stupid of Flayed Ones could be killed in such a fashion, however, the effort had to be made, as was customary in every battle in which the Cursed Flayers appeared. Their curse was even more grotesque than the Destroyer curse, both of which racked through the Necron ranks, making many a victim. While the Necron's bodies were as close to immortal as one could get, their minds were still vulnerable.
As the pod flew away, the Necron held up a strange orb from the pocket dimension where most of his personal artifacts were stored. The orb sprang apart, seemingly exploding into tiny bits of debris. Except the debris moved. Flying after the pod, the specially modified scarabs latched onto the bottom of the pod. While the Necron Lord was confident in his victory over the planet's forces, it was always best to have a handle on those in charge. The Clone Empress was wounded, and he would want to take her down or take her hostage in order to utterly destroy her military.
