(Well, I actually wrote the following twice because my laptop decided it´s time to crash just when I was about to be finished.)
(Also, added images.)
...the drop-pod sailed towards the planet with an immense speed until a few hundred metres above ground, where it was slowed down via gravitational pulse, when it eventually hit the ground it´s tip digged into the surface and it halted...
...a few minutes later a total of eight mothlike humanoids which wore their wings like royal mantles walked out of a door that opened on the body of the drop-pod...
...six of them seemed to have wings that looked like heavy black scalemails, they were roughly about 2.9 metres tall, on their back were a variety of close-range weaponry, reaching from greatswords, hammers and scythes over to things like plasma daggers, and heavy shotguns, one of them apparently even had what seemed to be a flamethrower... everything scaled up to their size.
The other two seemed to be different, the next one that left was about 2.6 metres tall and had red wings with black patterns on them, they weren´t armored, though a slight shimmered hinted towards something like a personal shield, it didn´t seem to carry any obvious weaponry.
The last one was "only" about 2.1 metres tall, it´s wings were black with red patterns, and they weren´t armored either, on it´s back what seemed to be a set of one-handed war hammers, made of black metal with red runic symbols on the heads...
They headed towards the entrance, while the armored ones immedietly entered, the smallest one halted, and a moment later also the other one that was left...
"This is useless! What should we possibly find here? ...and how exactly should that bring me closer to my metamorphosis?!" ...the smaller one snorted, clearly angered...
"Maybe so. Maybe not. We will see what we will find here and maybe you will find your enemy along the way. Now move." ...the other one calmly exclaimed and they both headed down as well...
...another few minutes later the other ship landed somewhere near the crypt, though not in viewing range of the drop-pod, it´ lower loading bay opened and a group of nine reptilians left the ship, they had spiked tails and a long snout, their hands only four fingers ending in claws, most of them were around 2.6 metres tall, apart of one who seemed to be slightly different from the others, the normal ones seemed to wear nothing but a loincloth and a belt, they had large jagged sabres with them and some other small things seemed to be attached to their belts, their scales were of a grey-ish black with occassional orange stripes down their arms, back and face, the other one was nearly half a metre taller than the others and wore a shining black armor, while crude in form probably still fullfilling it´s function, it had two more ornate sabers with it than the others and here and there a few scars were between it´s scales and tiny wings-stumbs were on it´s back...
An indistinguishable hissing was heard from what was probably the leader and they headed down the crypt...
