Discord gave a sip of his drink as he looked on from his ship’s bridge as it traveled through the warp. It was a few decades since Discord had ended up in this reality because of a unicorn’s attempt to alter his own and in that time he was making with the cards he was dealt. He looked over what updates he had received from the ship’s astropath. One of the two missing Primarchs had been found it seems. Discord had try to excuse the files on them but came up with nothing but speculation.

There was rumors of strange humanoid insectoid creatures raiding Black Ships taking the psykers that they held. In classic fashion he was informed to keep this a secret as the Ordo Xenos looked into it. ‘Hmmm I have a feeling I know what they are it’s sad really that Inquisitor Dorcsid isn’t apart of the invegastation.’ Discord decided to retire the Inquisitor he had impersonating and replaced her with her new “apprentice”. Of course course he did it to throw away the suspicions of the psykers he had contact with.

“Returning to Realspace now.” The helmsman said as the ship exited the warp and returning to realspace. Discord looked over a holographic projection of the star system as a savitor refilled his drink. He brought up data on the system.

‘Let’s see five continents, surface area forty six percent land,  Hive World so most likely everything outside the cities are a toxic, radioactive wasteland with most native life either extant or mutated beyond belief with some of the population most likely also be mutated.’ Discord rolled his eyes at this as this was mostly pretty standard a Hive World it seemed to Discord, ‘Planetary Governor none last Governor was assassinated by a political ploy hmm the Hive Cities are in a state of skirmishes to decide the new governor the planet keeps paying it tithes on time it seems… what’s this suspect of illegal trade of Xenos goods?’ Discord had a smile on his face.

He turned to the Helmsman, “Bring us into Orbit we need to refuel and resupply anyway I might as well take a look to see if these rumors of illegal Xenos trade is true or not.” Discord said standing up taking the hat from his former “master” Alexandra and placing it back on his head. He’ll give it to that Inquisitor she had a good taste in hats.

‘Now then let’s see what goodies I can find on this Hive World assuming the rumor of Xenos artifacts are true?’ Discord thought to himself with a smirk. “Ready my shuttle I’m going to take a walk amongst the Hivers alone.” Discord exclaimed to everyone in the ship's bridge.

“Sir are you sure that is the wisest course of action?” Discord turned to the person who had spook up. It was Lionus the former member of the Imperial guard who he had picked up awhile back when he was still impersonating Alexandra. Discord gave the middle age man a smile.

“Perhaps not but if I go walking with a Routine of guards around me they will know something is up besides I can take care of myself Lionus.” Discord explained his reasoning to the man with a smile.

“Very well Inquisitor.” Lionus said backing off on the subject.

A imperial Hive wasn’t a place you would want to be born in. The air outside was usually too toxic to breath without the proper gear. The land outside was seeming with chemical, radioactive, and other forms of waste and trash. The amount of poisonous substances in the water outside had long made it both undrinkable and almost completely incapable of sustaining what one would recognize as life. Most of the planet's population lived in massive artificial mountains called Hive’s.

Within the lower layers of this sprawling massive of factories homes generators and everything in between was the underhive. A cesspool of scum and villainy were criminal gangs basically ruled and old catacombs of the hive slowly crumbled under the weight of the top layers was where Discord was currently wondering about. ‘Wow the repernation of these places are really putting it lightly I’ve been like what threaten to be robbed five times since I started wandering these halls.’ Discord groaned to himself.

Discord paused for a moment as his spine shock with lighting. A change in the balance of forces of reality was happening nearby. Discord followed his senses the disguised Chaos Spirit walked through the dark corridors of the underhive to the disturbance in reality. Using his powers he turned himself invisible so he could sneak up on whoever it was who was playing with forces beyond there understanding.

Finally Discord came across a locked metal door with symbols placed all around it. ‘Hmm let’s see dark corridor, big metal door with symbols, the feeling of a disturbance in the forces of reality… yeah it’s one of those so called “Chaos Cults”.’ The displaced entity of Chaos gave the door a glare as he walked right through it.

The first thing Discord’s mind registered was the fact the air was full of what could be described as some kinda airborne drug. The moment he did so he knew which of the “Deities” this cult was worshipping. ‘Oh great it just had to be that Hedonists?’Discord asked himself. He was lucky he didn’t need to breath as he would amint the air might have affected him. Discord walked down the hall coming across the cultists themselves attempting to summon up a daemon from the warp.

Discord looked at the ritual in disgust, “Ok enough of this.” Discord said pulling out the bolter and giving a shot to the newest one to him. This altered the cult to the fact someone was with them.

“What who’s..” The person asking that head was soon blown off her shoulder. Discord gave another shot killing the one next to her as well. The cultists pulled out there weapons at this and started to shoot in the shadows believing there attacker was using stealth to pick them off.

Discord groaned as they shot at him holding his arm up to block the rounds. He dropped down his invisibility as it was pointless as the rounds bouncing off him showed them where he was hiding. “Enough!” Discord said using his magic to toss the cultists into the wall. Discord gave a snap forming chains to hold the cultists down. Though he ignore there moans as he wasn’t in the mood to deal with them.

“What in Slaanesh’s…” Another snap and Discord silenced them and focused on the rift that was about to open.

“I’ll deal with you all later,” Discord could feel the daemon about to enter from the rift and focused his powers to close it. However at that moment a dart hit his neck. Discord gave a groan at some kinda poison entered into his body. “Damn it!” He removed the dart and could feel the poison trying to set off his nerves. Using his powers he quickly willed the poison's effects away so his body could destroy the toxin but it was all the time the daemon needed and appeared within a burst of warp energy.

The creature was a horrifying thing looking like both a male and a female. Discord gave a glare at the Daemonette. “Oh that’s just great,” the sarcasm was literally dripping from his voice.

“Oh my a little lost soul coming to stop and be a hero for you little emperor,” Discord’s eyes twitched at the sound of this things voice. Discord knew that it’s sweet and alluring voice was just a lie to drag the weakest of wills. However to Discord it was so annoying he would rather rip his ears off.

“You know what… fuck this it's not as if any of you will be believed if you told anyone this.” Discord’s words brought confusion to the cultists. In a flash Discord dropped his disguise and appeared in his true form causing the cultists and even the daemon to blink in shock.

“What is a daemon of Tzeentch doing here?” The Daemonette asked glaring at him.

Discord’s right eye twitched at the stupidity of the daemon. The inhabitants of the Hive were rocked as the whole building shook. It wasn't uncommon in Hive Cities to experience a Hivequake when a part of the underhive shifted and collapse. However what was different about this or even an earthquake for that matter was that the whole planet shook.

“Do you think the Inquisitor is alright I mean he was down in the underhive when the whole planet shook.” One of the guards standing watch at  the shuttle asked.

“I don’t know but what in the name of the Emperor caused the whole planet to shack!” The other guard exclaimed.

“Are you both done?” A voice said as they turned to see Inquisitor Dorcsid standing there with a glare on his face.

“Y-yes Inquisitor thank the Emperor you're alright.” Discord just walked passed him and entered into the shuttle.

“We are never coming back here ever again.” Discord exclaimed in a low neutral tone.
