Chapters In a dimension of crazy and chaos the known inhabitant of this insanity walks out of his home. Discord the spirit of Chaos and Disharmony. “So then lets see what to do today?” Discord pulls out a book and on it was today activity. “Annoy Twilight? When did I write this? Oh well.” Discord shrugged as he snapped his talons appearing in the crystal palace of the princess of friendship.
When he got there he saw Twilight and her friends glaring as a unicorn the chaos spirit recognized as the village leader, Starlight Glimmer he believed was her name. He keep sensing the removal of cutie marks but the effect was so minor he shrugged it off. However what the unicorn was doing here became known when she disappeared into a flash. Discord eyes went wide. ‘Time travel? Wait what did she say… undoing your work like you undid mine? What does that… Oh Chaos no!’ Discord could feel it the timestream altering itself.
Discord watched as the six cutie marks disappeared one by one. Starlight had stopped the Rainboom. Discord himself was no stranger to mass time changes, he had learned he can resist the effect and remember the original timeline but there was one thing he refuse to let happen. “There is no way I’m going back to Stone!”
With that Discord summoned up his chaos magic and used it on himself in hopes to severe his connection from time for just a moment allowing him to stay uneffected. However this wasn't just a one universe event. Another reality connected through a mirror was soon effected as well. Discord magic soon severed himself from time and space but it wasn’t just the temporal power of one reality but two. In a flash Discord was tossed from the universe and was sent through a wormhole.
Everything went black for the spirit of Chaos and Disharmony. He would soon awake in a universe unlike his own. Were as his was mostly at peace, this one knew only war. However while most would think Discord would be poorly equip to handle this new reality they would fail to realize Chaos can adapt.
Discord forced himself up. He swaggered a bit before failing over and getting back up. He looked around he was in some kinda room. There was this strange symbol of a star with a eye in it. Discord thought nothing of it. “Now then where am I?” Closing his eyes Discord moved his senses though the universe. He felt the planet he was on and moved out to see the star system. Something was way off. For one this planet had two moons, and the system had another smaller sun. Also the planet was filled with huge artificial mountains. ‘Oh great, I’m on another planet.’ Discord spread out his senses looking for the familiar energy signature of the Tree of Harmony. After about half an hour of looking Discord couldn’t even find even a trace of the ancient Embodiment of Harmony magic anywhere. However Discord did pick up something.
‘Psionic energy?’ The Spirit of Chaos knew about Psionic energy from his travels. This felt like it but wasn’t what he remember. In fact it seems like it wasn’t native to this dimension. Using his senses he sent a Astral Projection to where the energy was coming from. What Discord saw was a sea of thoughts, Dreams, minds and memories.
It was like a sea of everyone minds, Discord looked through the sea and started to see things. Any normal entity looking through this veil off the sea would go mad from what they saw. However this was Discord, he could see the insanity of an Eldritch Abomination up close and be unfazed.
“So Strange everything here is Chaotic, Disordered… yet it's all the power of the minds.” Discord said as his Astral Form floated there. He was gone soon though as he felt something was going to happen near his body.
Something saw him disappear though. Sitting on his throne in a maze a powerful yet strange entity saw the spirit of Chaos. He had no idea what this entity was, yet the possibilities seem to change around him. Tzeentch, the Chaos god of Change wondered what this newcomer was. “He can see though the warp it seems and the madness doesn’t effect him in anyway it seems.” The Chaos god was intrigued by this being, perhaps he would be useful, perhaps not. Tzeentch was strange like that.
On the other side of the door Chaos Cultists move back into the room. “The Inquisitor is coming we must ask our god for the help at taking her out!” One of the three remaining cultists commanded to his two follow traitors.
“But how? There is only three of us do you think it’s enough?” Another cultist ask.
“It’s not up to me to decide.” The three opened and entered into the room only to stop at the sight of the creature in front of them. It’s body was long and serpent like, it’s body was like someone took random parts from creatures and merge them together. The entity must have been a daemon of Tzeentch given it’s look.
However Discord raised an eyebrow at thing things in front of him. He remembered something similar to them. He had been known to travel across dimensions and came across a world of bipedal beings. ‘Are they humans?’ He thought.
“My friends it seems Tzeentch is with us!” Discord raised a eyebrow at the three.
“Excuse me what is going on?” Discord had a strange feeling they were cultists. If so he was better off walking right passed them. However the sound of a shot was heard and the one in the middle head exploded.
“You can not hid Heretics!” Discord looked down at the corpse as walking in was a female human with a black hat, strange clothing. “My Emperor, they have summoned a daemon!” The others with her opened fire as did she all on Discord.
Discord himself felt held his arms up as he was shot. “Hey stop that!” He demanded. He was used to being shot at before with arrows, magic lasers and even cannon fire. He been to other planets before and was shot by bullets before. This was more annoying than anything. “Can’t we talk this out!” He asked.
“Never! Die Daemon, the Emperor protects!” Discord had had enough.
“ENOUGH!” With a blast of his magic everyone was thrown back. The Inquisitor and her entourage brought out their weapons. With a snap of his paw. The weapons grew wings and flew away from there hands. The Inquisitor pulled out her sword and rushed him. Discord simply countered it with a rubber chicken and then tossed her back with his magic.
The others rushed him but at the last moment Discord Teleported behind the grabbing their necks from behind he tossed them against the wall. “Stay out of this.” The Inquisitor came from behind against but Discord was ready. He used his long body to move around and before the Inquisitor knew it was wrapped around her like a snake.
“Let me go you demented, spawn of taint.” Discord had enough of this. What was she going on about. He placed his talons and paw on her face and forced his mind into hers. He had to admit one thing. She had mental barriers like a castle. However without mental wards it was only a matter of how much force Discord used. With a mighty burst he broke though and got what he wanted.
Images flashed before Discord’s mind as he shocked in the reality he had come to. The Imperium of Man seemed to rule this galaxy. He heard names of Aliens or Xenos, Orks, Eldar, Necrons. Finally he learned about Chaos. Discord wanted to slap her. He wasn’t some daemon of one of these so called gods. He was Discord, he was Chaos itself and born directly from Magic.
However the galaxy he was in was a wreck. There God-Emperor was on something called the golden throne and war waged everywhere, inside and out. There wasn’t going to be much he could do out in the open. Lucky for him however he had what he needed.
He let the inquisitor go his magic attack on her mind being to much for her as she fell into unconsciousness. With a snap of his talons Discord form changed as he soon became a copy of the Inquisitor. He searched her down body and found what he was looking for. Her badge of office a Inquisitorial Rosette. With that he put it on his new form and turned to the cultists. “Go ahead do what you want with them.” He said as his voice morphed midway though to match the Inquisitors own. He picked up her sword and leaved the room sealing them to their fates.
‘I wonder how Twilight and the others are doing, knowing them they somehow fixed the mess and blasted that Unicorn to stone.’ Discord though as he walked out. He had no idea what he would do but if anything chaos is nothing but adaptable.
Discord walked through the hive city. He saw the people look at him with some weird looks. ‘Why is that? It because of this?’ Discord thought looking at the badge of the Inquisition. He remembered what this symbol meant. He had the power to write the death of a whole planet. He could also recruit anyone to serve him.
Discord couldn’t believe this. So much power in his hands. Both magical and non magical. As he walked up heading for the upperlevels he soon bumped into someone. “Inquisitor, I trust we don’t have any heretics anymore?” The disguised Chaos Spirit realized this was one of the God-Emperor of Man many priests.
“Oh don’t worry about that, though don’t go into the building anytime soon.” Discord said perfectly imitating the voice of the Inquisitor.
“Then it is done, Emperor be praised!” The priest stated giving Praised to what Discord could tell could be the humans Equalifant of Celestia, Luna and maybe that blasted Tree.
“Yes Emperor be praised, now I must be off.” Discord said, he lied his way though and headed for the shuttle.
One of the guards there raised an eyebrow. “Where is the others?” The guardsmen could have sworn he had saw two other wit her.
“Why simple, they liked this planet so much the decided to stay and have a happy ever after.” Discord said with sarcasm. “There dead.” Discord didn’t know that but given that they were cultists and practiced human sacrifice it wasn’t hard to imagine that was the case.
“At least they are with the Emperor.” The guardsmen said.
Discord gave a smirk under the hat and collar. ‘No most likely they are suffering a fate worse than death… actually’ Discord pulled out his Inquisitorial Rosette. “Actually I think I could use some more helpers.” Discord said with a strange smile. A chill ran down the guards spine almost as if this was a deal with a daemon.
Discord looked over on the bridge of the ship. It was less of a ship and more of a floating Church. The guards were added to the crew of this massive vessel. Discord sat down on the throne like chair looking out at the screen of stars.
For a moment he remembered himself on his throne in Equestria after banishing the princesses to the wilds. A smile formed on his face at the memory. ‘Oh good times… Then I was stone.’ He looked over the worlds he could visit in this sector. One of these worlds caught his eye.
After using “his” Rosette to access the files on the planet he raised a eyebrow. ‘Space Marines? Elite warriors of the God-Emperor?’ The files on the Sce Marines prove that they were difficult to make and train. ‘Oh to hell with it the best things I ever done was on impulse.’ Discord turned to the tech priests and helmsmen.
“Set a course we are heading to Tyrili IV.” Discord commanded. The helmsmen nodded and sent word though the ship.
Discord watched as the navigator on the ship looked out as the ship moved to ready a warp jump. With an opening in space Discord saw as the ship transitioned into the dimension of psychic energy, thoughts, and feelings. ‘So it’s called the warp is it?’ Discord gave a thought. He stretched his arms.
“I’m heading to bed, if a Wing horse comes tell me.” Discord said waving his hands. He didn’t really need to sleep but he had grown use to it.
“Of course.” Discord said as he saw the ship flying away in the warp. “There no dream dimension in this universe only this strange place… perhaps I’ll go exploring.” Discord said as he flew around in the warp.
As Discord flew around the vortex of emotions he could sense something watching him. “I know you're watching me.” Discord said. He turned around to see a strange creature that would hurt a normal beings eyes and drive them mad but Discord not so much. “I’m guessing your one of these Chaos Gods?” Discord asked.
The strange thing gave a laugh. “Seeing how you basically tore open that Inquisitor mind, yes I am.” The things voice was kinda squeaky to Discord. “I am Tzeentch, the God of Change, Architect of fate…” Discord decided turn out the entity titles. Just watching it Discord got the feeling for the things power.
It was massive yet it was diffused across the galaxy. ‘Makes sense, he relies on emotional energy across the galaxy… wait doesn’t that mean...’ Discord was pulled out his thoughts as Tzeentch realized Discord didn’t seem too be listening.
“Hey you know it’s rude ignoring your Elders!” Tzeentch demanded. Discord gave a blink.
“Because last I checked I was in my billions.” Discord replied with a smug smirk. “Perhaps you should respect me.” Discord said forming a glass of Chocolate milk and drinking the glass instead.
“Well now that that’s out of the way I would like to make a deal with you.” Discord wanted to laugh at this. So he did.
“Ahahahahahahaha… Sorry but no I don’t do deals.” Discord tossed the milk as it blow up. “Even if I did what could you really offer me? Nothing, that’s what. I have the power I need plus I’m pretty sure I don’t even need the warp for anything seeing as how I’m a being of magic.” Discord gave Tzeentch a wig over his head, or what Discord thought was his head. “But here I hope you like my gift to you.” Discord gave a laugh at how stupid it looked on Tzeentch.
Tzeentch was starting to get annoyed by this entity. “Why you little…” Tzeentch removed the wig. Discord floated there with the smirk on his face.
“You’ll what?” Discord asked, “Your move the ship into a warp storm? I can simply rip myself back into the material space, and FTL under my own power.” Discord glared at the Chaos god.
Tzeentch glared at him then laugh. “Simple…” He then forced himself into Discord’s mind. However Tzeentch blinked everything felt like the warp within Discord’s mind. It was chaotic in change and warping around.
“Get out.” Discord voice was heard. Tzeentch was tossed right out to see Discord glaring at him. Tzeentch had to blink for a moment. He was literally forced out of Discord’s mind at Discord’s command and yet he felt Discord’s mind. It was just like the chaos of the warp.
“What the how did you do that? What are you?” Tzeentch asked, this didn’t make sense at all.
“In ages past I was feared, respected and even worshipped, Kings and Emperors bowed before me, the Celestial bodies of planets and stars were my toys. I am bore not of mortal thoughts or ascended to this level, no my mother and Father is Magic itself I am Eons old, I am both a god to some and a demon to other, I am Discord, Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony!” Discord had a smile. “In a twisted sense I am superior to you Tzeentch.” Discord felt himself waking up in the ship and in a flash he was gone, leaving Tzeentch to think about the entity, no Discord and what kinda threat he could be.
Discord awoke in his chambers on the ship. ‘Well now then time to see those space marines.’ Discord thought as he got up. He put on the outfit with a snap of his fingers and headed out to the bridge. When he got there he sat down turning to the helmsman and the ship's navigator. “How long till we enter real space?” Discord asked.
The navigator turned to him. “I’m sorry Inquisitor but it seems the warp has shifted, we are going to have to travel to another planet.” Discord knew who was to blame for this. Seems Tzeentch was mad, and was trying to force him away from his target. However it wasn’t really anything major but a minor inconvenience.
I’ll just force open a rift into real space, or make the warp obey me for a while, just give it some golden light and they’ll believe it was from the God-Emperor, just incase . Discord thought to himself. With his eyes closed he forced his magic on the warp the effect tossed the ship and its protective bubble out and around until it finally existed the warp and appeared in the outer edges of the star system Discord wanted to visit. The Navigator was in awe as was everyone else.
“How did this happen one moment the warp was forcing us to change course the next we are in the system.” Discord gave a laugh.
“Seems the Emperor was with us, we should give our thanks for his work.” Discord said hiding the fact he was rolling his eyes with his hat.
As the ship came close the ship was being hailed. “This is Chapter Master Abel Palatinus of the Storm Ravens Identify yourselves.” The Space marine Chapter Master half asked half Demanded.
Discord held out the Rosette up to show him. “Why a member of the Emperor’s Inquisition Chapter Master.” Discord saw the look on his face go into shock.
“Inquisitor my apologies we had a bit of a ran in with pirates before you came by.” The Chapter Master said give a bit of a apology for his rudeness. “What may we do for you?” He asked
“Let us meet aboard my vessel and we can talk.” Discord stated the Space Marine Chapter Master nodded at this.
“Very well Inquisitor.” With that the image was gone and Discord stood up to head for the shuttle bay to great them. However little did Discord know he would be meeting someone soon.
The newly rediscovered planet was reported in to Imperium. They dispatched the needed representatives to bring it back under the God-Emperor of mankind. With them was the Imperial Guard and Priests of the Adeptus Ministorum to both suppress in case of defiance and turn the planet to the one true faith respectively. However on this world a discovery will be made that would be celebrated, but soon feared. As they came to landing the population was in awed as the humans from space were soon allowed to be granted a audience with the planet's ruler.
“Visitors from beyond I give to you our Ruler, Lord Umbra.” The representatives looked on the planet's leader with shock. Sitting on a throne appeared to be one of the two missing Primarchs.
“Welcome I feel I have been expecting you.” Umbra said getting up from his throne in his crude power armor.
“By the Emperor it can’t be.” The Priest was the first to say out loud.
“A honest to Emperor, Primarch I never thought I’ll see one of them.” The Guardsmen commander stated. However unknown to anyone there the something was off. Above the throne a red broken horn sat.
“Is that what I am? A Primarch? What is a Primarch anyway?” Umbra asked the humans from the Imperium.
The knowledge of what he was had finally set into Umbra. The God-Emperor of Mankind his father the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. “So then are there anymore Primarchs out there? Where is my Space Marines?” He asked. The information was a lot to take in.
“We don’t know, most of them are either, dead or turn Traitor, as it stands you are currently the only Primarch that is well…” The Priest wanted to Finish but Umbra stood up.
“Very well then gentlemen I now know what I must do, I will inform the planet of my origins and it will rejoin the Imperium of man as for me I have been missing way too long and it’s time I do my duty in the name of my father, The God-Emperor of Mankind!” The Primarch decreed.
He walked out the room to let the Imperial representatives talk it out. Unknown to them however. As the Shadows took the Primarch dark wisps came from his now red eyes. “So they have finally come, perhaps soon I will have more than I ever had and more,” He had a smile just thinking about it. He gave a dark chuckle. In truth the Primarch Umbra was nothing more but a shell at this point. His mind was gone as something else had taken the still living body for himself.
As he walked to the throne made from black crystals, he looked at the red horn. It was amazing at how hard it really was to kill him. With a dark smile he sat down with a devious smirk. He had no idea how he ended up in the strange new world, no this new universe, but now he had the power and influence he once had and soon even more. The heavens themselves were soon to be open to him. “You know what they say.” His voice was morph and changed to one dark and deep.
“Long Life the King.”
Discord felt a chill up his spine. It was a feeling he only got when magical energies shift, or when something big was going to shift the balance of power. Something big is about to go down . Discord thought. The Space Marines Shuttle was seen coming up. Perhaps if it comes for me I’ll need help . Discord held on to the Inquisitor Rosette. I should start planning ahead .
Discord soon greeted the Chapter Master as he got out of the Shuttle. “Greetings Chapter Master, I am Inquisitor Alexandria.” Discord said using the now dead Inquisitors name. “Come with me we have much to discuss." Discord said as he lead his guest and potential recruits.
“I would like to talk to you all about something.” Discord said with a smile. The Chapter Librarian has a strange feeling. Something wasn’t right about the Inquisitor. He suppressed his suspension as paranoia.
Discord took a sit with the chapter master right in front of him. With all the information he had gotten from the imperial databases this chapter was relatively new. They haven’t seen much action as most of where there chapter portaled was more or less what this galaxy called “peaceful”. “Now Chapter Master from what I gathered your chapter is a young one and you haven’t had much in the way of conflicts.” Discord asked.
“That is correct Inquisitor we were originally posted here to help with the ongoing conflicts.” He started and Discord could see what he was meaning. Seems that information hadn’t reached the Administratrum as the conflicts were all over when they got set up.
“But they were all finished forcing your chapter to patrol a peaceful space while the bureaucrats keep thinking that there is a conflict.” Discord surmised this seemed needlessly counterproductive the way the Administration of the Imperium went.
This was supposed to be an galactic empire that was fighting enemies on all fronts yet a whole planet could be lost because of a filing error. Discord may have been a entity of Chaos but this was just retarded. “Now I wanted to ask you a question what would you say to helping me with the fight to the enemies of man?”
“I will jump at the chance to Inquisitor it is my duty as a Space Marine of the Emperor!” Chapter Master Abel Palatinus exclaimed with almost religious reverence. Discord had a smirk hidden behind his hat’s shadow.
“Well then Chapter Master consider both you and your chapter conscribed by me to help with rooting out the enemies of mankind.” Discord took a sip of the wine one of the servants had poured for him after he had said those words. Inquisitor Alexandra had a habit of doing this when she finished negotiations on her ship and Discord flawlessly played his part.
“I thank you for the opportunity Inquisitor we will not let you down!” He exclaimed.
“I know you won’t.” Discord said with a smile. The Librarian felt a sense of foreboding as her chapter master accepted the Inquisitor's offer. Something was amiss with her. He didn’t sense the taint of the ruinous powers yet his instincts told him that this wasn’t normal.
As the two Space Marines headed for there shuttle the Librarian decided to voice his concerns, “Sir if I may something feels off about the Inquisitor I feel as if we shouldn’t trust her.”
The caused Abel to raise a eyebrow. “Do you feel that it’s the ruinous powers?” That would prove most dangerous if a inquisitor had fallen to the taint of chaos.
“No it wasn’t the foul taint of chaos, it felt like she wasn’t how do I describe it almost unnatural.” His confusion on the matter didn’t help his cause much.
“Perhaps it’s just that she’s a psyker you haven’t meet many Inquisitors so your confusion could mean nothing but paranoia.” Abel explained to his trusted Librarian.
“Maybe you’re right I haven’t meet any Inquisitor psykers before maybe I’m overreacting to nothing of concern.” He said believing that his chapter master had to be right about this. Unknown to them watching from the shadows was Discord who had tagged behind them but stayed within the shadows.
Seems I’ll have to be careful around psykers they seem to know when I am masquerading as one of them. Discord walked back through the ship and to “his” quarters. Turning to the guard looking straight in his eyes. “No one is to disturb me while I am within my quarters got it.” The guard gave a nod at the glare the Inquisitor was giving him.
As soon as the door closed and Discord was alone he returned to his true form. Floating upside down he entered into a meditative state. He was ancient, reality altering, Immortal force of nature and now he was within a unknown universe. He needed allies on several fronts.
Right now the Space Marines were just the beginning however he could only continue as this Inquisitor for only so long he might have drained her skull of all her knowledge but he couldn’t perfectly imitate her all the time. No he will need to create a Inquisitor persona for himself outside of her.
Next was the verses Xenos Races of the galaxy. The elder were out of the question. They were far better psykers then mankind with deeper connection to the warp. He would be find out almost immediately by them. He should avoid or tread carefully with them if he meets them as a Inquisitor.
The tyranids were also out of the question. They were a hive mind race and would easily detect something was off about him if he fake as one of them. However he could use his powers to influence animals on the feral ones cut off from the hive fleets.
Orks were a lot more promising given how the operate. The biggest and strongest lead massive WAAAGHS! If Discord appeared as one he could probably his abilities to easily overpower any of there leaders and have his own hyper violate warriors to send at any of his enemies.
The Tau were honestly the easiest of the major Xenos to manipulate. With barely any presence in the warp and naivete on how it worked he could simply just replace something in there Ethereal caste and they would follow him without question. However there would be a few who have fought the beings of the warp who might understand it better than there more naive members.
The Necrons were a strange case. They were beings of order with no souls but there was ironically something they had in common. They were not connected in anyway to the warp in anyway. In fact with a bit of work on his appearance and some acting he could even pass off his reality bending abilities as being a shard of a C’tan.
Finally there was was them. The so called chaos gods of this reality. Three of them posed moderate threats to him but with each of them he could plan around and even exploit weaknesses that they may have if it came to it. Only one of them proved to be a major threat to his plans. Tzeentch the lord of a bunch of things Discord didn’t care about to listen to.
He was a planner who seemed to have precognitive abilities and used to to change his plans on a dime. A lesser being would see this as being omiciest. However Discord was no lesser creature. Tzeentch showed he was confused and surprised at him and when he entered into his mind Discord saw his. He was a master planner who was able to make it seem he know everything. Discord could honestly admit he would give Celestia a run for her money. However he lacked one thing Discord had Experience.
He was at most one hundred thousand years old. Impressive and truly ancient to mortals but to Discord, who has existed for billions of years he was nothing but an infant and it showed. Tzeentch was trying to watch him to figure out Discord’s next move and plan for it. However Discord knew what he was doing. He was sloppy and his inexperience and it showed. It didn’t take much for Discord to hid himself from his senses.
That didn’t mean he was totally under the radar. Tzeentch couldn’t plan directly for him but his actions could be seen indirectly. If he was going to expand into the warp for allies he would need to find a way to keep to minimize his direct involvement.
Discord also remembered that feeling from before. He knew there was somewhere another potential rival or a potential ally. He would have to look for any news of this perhaps keep an eye out. After all Discord had learned that it paid to be prepared for just about anything.
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.
The Webway Misadventures Part 2
It had taken Ahriman mouths of planning, weeks of reading ancient star maps, and days of waiting but he finally did it. He was back in the Webway and now he will find the Black Library he will understand the secrets of the Gods and maybe just maybe he will become one himself. There was nothing that will stop him. However there was one thing in all his planning that he didn’t take into account. The fact Discord was not in the mood to deal with this. “Are you done?” Discord asked.
The Chaos Sorceror was brought out of his thoughts of victory for a moment to see the mismatched entity in front of him. His first reaction was to ask what a Daemon of Tzeentch was doing here but he then stopped himself. True the entity looked like something only a Daemon of the Changer of Ways daemons would look like but something was off. The feeling of Chaos from him was off. Ahriman then realized why it was off. This entity wasn’t connected in anyway to the warp in anyway. “What are you?”
Discord raised a eyebrow at this, “That’s a surprise most just call me a daemon you know,” Discord gave a chuckle, “I am a Spirit, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony.” In a flash Discord was gone causing Ahriman to look around, “I have answer your question but I can tell you're asking yourself who is this Spirit and why does he claim to be Chaos am I right?” Discord appeared right behind him as his Rubrics. “However I have a question for you what do you seek within this place weapons, knowledge, power, or persons all three?” Discord said as he changed his outfit from a warrior to a scrip and to a king before taking all three.
Ahriman gave pause at this “Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony” he seemed out of place within the Webway no he was out of place within this Universe. “My reasons are my own Spirit but I must ask why are you here?”
Discord dropped his outfit and teleported just behind him. “Why8 for my own reasons as well but seeing how I don’t want our goals to conflict being that we further the goal of Chaos itself I am here to just explore the Webway and I must admit I am very disappointed with the construction of such a creation.” Discord himself was trying to keep from damaging too much information after all as a Chaos Sorcerer. While it wasn’t him he was concerned about so much as his master.
“Just exploring?” Ahriman could feel a voice telling him to not trust this entity and to attack a destroy it now. Discord himself looked at the Rubric Marines recalling from Imperial records about how they were trapped and almost seemed to have no true will of there own. A dark, greedy smile came over him.
“Nice Rubrics I’ll trade you a map of the Webyway I found for a few of them what do you say?” Discord offered holding the holomap with a bubble of his magic.
Ahriman admit a map of the Webway would improve his chances quite a bit but making deals with daemons or in this case a Spirit always came with strings attached, “I can not spare any of them now…” Discord rolled his eyes.
“Not right now but on a later date now what do you say?” Discord said using his powers to make himself more convincing, “I could always sweeten the deal with some,” Discord Whispered into his ears, “Forbidden and Ancient knowledge I’ve accrued over the eons you know.” Discord adding a little extra than normal to hopefully seal the deal.
After what was a few moments of debating Ahriman had made up his mind. “Very well Spirit you have a deal.” Discord held out his paws burning of blue flame as the two of them shook there hand Discord took his leave and Ahriman get the holomap Discord had keep with him along with the updates the Spirit had made to it.
After the deal between them was struck with Ahriman, Discord and the Chaos Sorcerer went there separate ways. After a what felt like a few days of wondering the veins and arteries of the Webway Discord came across another Eldar warhost.After being shot at stabbed and a bunch of lighting from Discord came out on top. He did made a note however. Eldar technology was both advance and the wraithbone they were made from hurt like Tartarus.
“That’s still going to sting when it heals.” Discord said as he held his hands over the wound in his stomach. He was lucky he didn’t need most of his organs or even blood to survive. Looking around the bodies and wreckage from there walking warmachine and there armor. Discord reached down and picked up the spoilers of his victory.
Discord first went for the weapons and armor looking over there bodies he removed something far more valuable to them then even there technology. Discord held up the spirit stone feeling the soul of the Eldar within it. All he needed to do was crush the stone and he would doom the soul to it’s fate. “To believe that once your race ruled the whole Galaxy for millions of years,” Discord spoke to the stone as he left it floating in the air as he removed each of them setting them floating next to him, “I’m surprised your species didn’t see the signs I mean your race is powerfully gifted able to feel emotions in ways humans couldn’t believe you follow Elder should have realized it the moment those warp storms started to form.”
Discord finally removed the last of them looking over the all the souls literally within his grasp. He had a smile at all he could do with them. In a flash Discord summoned up a chest to store them all away. ‘I have great bargaining chip if i run into any Craftworld Eldar.’ Discord thought to himself as he continued his trek through the Webway.
Within Inquisitor Dorcsid’s quarters was a small crystal held on a self. No one paid it any mind thinking it was something from his homeworld which rumor believed was a feudal world. However this crystal was made by Discord for one very important propose. He had made it with a spell designed to teleport him from anywhere and drag him back into the room. The crystal glow as vortex of energy shot out from it. Landing out from the vortex Discord gave a sigh of relief. “Home sweet temporary home.” In a flash Discord transformed back into Dorcsid.Sitting down within one of his chairs he summoned up one of the Eldar weapons.
He held it for a moment almost admiring it. He unsummoned it and soon formed a ball of chaos magic suspending it in the air with a snap the ball of chaos magic started to act like fire as Discord stood up summoning the Eldar spoils and tossing them into the Chaos magic. “Let’s see if this works.” Discord started to use his magic and his will to reshape the Eldar weapons.
After a few painstaking hours the fire was unsummon and Discord wiped the sweat from his brow. Discord quickly changed his outfit and walked up to his mirror to admire his handiwork “No one would suspect this is actually Eldar technology reforged by my magic and my will.” .Discord said with a smile on his face. He put over the red trench coat and placed on one of his hats taking a few swings with his sword light as a feather despite how dense it was. He placed it on his back and pulled out his guns giving them a look over he holstered them and gave himself a smile.
Discord then got thinking remembering his deal with that Chaos Sorcerer. “You know I should probably start offering deals again it’s been a few thousand years and it’s not like half the universe know to attack me on sight when I offer to do it.” Discord gave a smile at this.
Meanwhile within the Warp Tzeentch was deep in thought. His various voices arguing about different things as they each voiced reasons making new plans and destroying old ones. However there was one thing he found annoying. A foreign variable that can hide from his sight. He hated not knowing something as it ran against why he existed in the first place. This was the reason for the current debate.
“He’s just one entity and just because we can’t see him directly doesn’t mean we can’t plan with him. ”
“Fool we can’t only not just see him directly his mind is closed to us! We don’t know what he is planning how can we plan for that! ”
“We can’t and that shouldn’t concern us we play chess with the whole Galaxy there is no way he can alter anything major.”
“**He’s appearance has changed the outcomes way to much not only that but it seems others have followed him from wherever he originates and they too are altering our plans way to much.
“So let’s just watch everything play out. ”
“Perhaps we don’t have to be enemies we were a bit too demanding he could prove a powerful ally. ”
“No we should force him to serve us! ”
“Enough all of you! He is not the second coming of the Anathema so stop treating him like it! He also isn’t some minor threat we can just ignore but right now his influence isn’t something to be concerned about! We will watch and see if he becomes a throne in our side we will remove him before he becomes too entrenched alright are we done!”
The voices stopped arguing as they all come to agree with the last one. He would watch the entity called Discord and should he prove a nuisance to him will find someway to take him out of the game.
The King, Queen and The Nightmare
Walking over the dust of the battlefield a hulking figure clad in Red, Black and Grey power armor walked across the dead bodies of the Imperial Guard. The figure hair moved out of his face revealing the being as the newly found Primarch Umbra. He gave a smile looking at the bodies.
“My Lord the remaining guardsmen have deserted the battle is over we have won.” A voice ranged though the vox communications.
“Very well send word that our mission was a success the planet is apart of the Imperium again,” The planet had rebelled along with the local Imperial Guard stationed on the world. However the guardsmen who corpses surrounded him wasn’t of those guardsmen. No instead another regiment of the guard came to take back the system and was already fighting when Umbra and his Space Marines appeared.
While Umbra could have joined up the guard fighting to reconquer the planet he decided to stretch the mission parameters to include all of the Imperial Guard Regiments on the planet loyal or otherwise. “Teleport me back up to the Battle Barge we're done here.” With that he was gone in a flash of darkness.
Umbra looked over the world from the Battle Barge Bane of The Shadow King helm. The once civilized world was now in ruins whole portions of the population was dead and craters could be seen from planetary bombardment.
A civilized world with nearly 4.6 billion souls was now in ruins with over half of it’s population dead or dying. The shadow King had a smile at this. Walking up to him was a Space Marine born of the gene-seed harvested from his body. The Primarch turned to him, “Any word from the Imperium?” He asked.
“Yes they are sending a new Planetary Governor and another regiment of Imperial Guardsmen to occupy the planet so it can begin the process of rejoining the Imperium.” The Marine said holding his Modified Lascannon at hand. It appeared the same as any Lascannon but in reality Umbra had the Techmarine personally remove each crystal and replaced with one of the Black Gems that Umbra had grown. The effect was noticeable making them more deadly than usual.
Umbra walked away heading for the helm as the starship moved to enter warp space. As he did his mind moved to the Marines his “Sons” walking around the ship.The Imperium had scanned the Gene-Seed looking for any signs of Chaos Corruption and taint. While they failed to that didn’t mean the Gene-Seed wasn’t tainted. What they suspect as a expectable mutation was really his own essence infecting the very organs.
‘It’s sad really they are so paranoid about the warp yet they overlook the possibility of other forms of taint.’ Umbra thought to himself. In truth Umbra wasn’t the Primarch name. It was however the original owner of the bodies name.
The Primarch had found the gem thinking nothing of it. Slowly the being within the horn tore and influenced his body chipping away at his soul. It was to late for the demigod the moment he realized the truth about what was happening. His soul was soon pushed right out of his body lost into the horror of the warp while his body became host to a king twice killed.
Umbra entered into the helm taking his set on the Throne. Build right in was the red horn from the throne he once set in when he ruled his planet. The ship's astropath walked up to him. “Sir I have received word of a nearby system requesting aid with a Ork problem.”
“May I ask why how they let this happen?” Umbra asked.
“It seems one of the planets was used a a training ground with a sizeable Ork population it seems that a Warboss has managed to unite the tribes and they are gunning for the rest of the system most likely to start a WAAAGH sir.” Umbra had read about the Orks. A Xenos species that seemed built for war whose technology worked because they believed it did.x If it wasn’t because they fight each other all the time they galaxy would have been conquered by them millaina ago.
“Very well set a course for this system I alway wanted a Ork Warbosses head on my Trophy rack.” Umbra said with a smile.
The Inquisitor awoke with a cough trying to free his lungs from the fluids that had entered into him. After catching his breath he started to remember what happened. He was on a Black Ship when these thing appeared. He looked around encased in pods were the Psykers that were being transported to Holy Terra. They had looks of pain on there faces some of them showing signs of daemon possession and warp mutation yet they were just there held in a comatose states.
“Impressive isn’t it Inquisitor.” A dark seductive voice said walking into the chamber. The figure was tall like the Eldar. Humanoid in body shape yet alien to both Man and Eldar. Her skin was while smooth blacken and harden like that of a caspase two bug like wings fluttered on her back. Long rows of silk covered her head and was seem to have been shaped into her outfit. Finally a crooked sharpened horn jolted from her head as she licked her lips with a snake like tongue fangs showing from her mouth.
“What have you done to them you foul Xenos?” The Inquisitor reached for his weapons but found he was without them.
“Oh Nothing much just placed them in pops to force them to simulate there powers as you can see they work perfectly attracting our prey for us.” The Xenos lady said as she placed her hand on one of the pods slowly drawing in the energy from it.
“Prey what could you possibly prey on that requires..” The Inquisitor paused realizing what it could be that these things would use untrained psykers for. The denizens of the warp. The very thought of a Xenos species that feed on the horrors of the ruinous powers scared him. “Impossible..”
“Your God is keep alive despite being for all purposes dead, you fly through the realm were your greatest enemy lives, there is a species that can make anything true just be believing it to be and you find a race that feeds on the essence of the warp as impossible?” She gave a laugh at his reasoning, “No impossible is used by those who refuse to believe that everything is possible.” She finished her feeding licking her lips at the taste.
“Where am I?” He demanded maybe he could make contact with the Imperium and wide out these foul abominations.
“Why what was a Eldar Craftworld petty really they thought they had found a race to control to use against there great enemy. For a time I played along but the moment we were strong enough I launched the attack and soon there santuary became there tomb.” With her hands she motioned to the now dark black structures of the former craftworld, “They are still here trapped in the bones of there Infinity Circuits there knowledge used to help my children find our place amongst the stars and from them I learned of you humans.”
“What do you want you want from us?” He asked. The lady gave a smile.
“It’s it obvious your species seem to be the favorite target for our pray your untrained psykers are the perfect traps to capture them,” She said walking up to him, “Our usual way of hunting them is costly for us however trap them in a shell and we can harvest them in mass to feed my ever growing population.”
The Inquisitor was angry at this monster. The Eldar treated his kind like zoo animals and it seemed she treated them as nothing but bait for there exotic prey. “Mark my words the moment we find where you hide the Emperor’s wrath will be upon you!”
She gave a laugh at this, “It’s funny because your threat is far more hollow then you believe, every day millions of your forces die as your armies fight on all sides whole sections of the galaxy are beyond your reach and your leader isn’t here to strike me down as he fights both the forces of the warp and the force of dying,” With her hands out glowing the Inquisitor found himself lifted up covered in a glow.
“Let me go you witch.”
“I am no witch my friend I am Queen Chrysalis, ruler of the Changelings and,” Her horn glowed has he could feel something entering into his mind, “soon I will be the new object of your worship my pet.” She said laughing as the Inquisitor attempted to fight off the mind control spell.
Discord walked down looking at the impressive craftsmanship put into this building of worship. This planet the Spirit disguised as a Inquisitor was now on was a Shrine World a planet dedicated to the worship of the Imperium's founder the God-Emperor of Mankind. Discord looked at the mural of him. “Seems I was low balling when I compared him to Celestia,” Discord said to himself as he looked around the building. He stopped however when he heard footsteps behind him.
“How did you get in here? This building is closed to the public for renovations.” Discord turned around to see a member of the Adepta Sororitas. Discord did some reading on them. The sisters of battle as they were more commonly known.
Discord turned away from her, “Your be surprised what a member of the Emperor’s Holy Inquisition can do.” As the sounds of footsteps got close to him. Discord grabbed his sword off his back and in one moment pointed his blade right at her neck as she pointed her’s right at his own.
To any outside observer they appeared to just be a Inquisitor and a Sister of Battle having a standoff but in truth they both knew the other wasn’t who they appeared to be. “I should have know you were the cause of this,” She said glaring at him.
“Oh come on this is the first time we have ever truly meet and you hold a sword at me?” Discord gave a glare at her, “Nightmare Moon.”
“Like your one to talk.” Her glare hardening at him, “Discord.”
The two of them stood there glaring at each other never moving an inch. They were each waiting for the other to show a moment of weakness before the other cut them down. After a few moments of perfect but tense silence Discord spook up, “So a Sororitas eh? Mind me asking aren’t you unable to exist without Luna?” Discord asked.
“You would think that as did I once,” She said not taking her eyes off him as she spoke, “I found myself within a maelstrom of emotions bound in the Tatabus something Luna created to torment herself for what felt like years I attacked the minds of sleeping members of the Imperium the denizens of that realm just wrote me off as some kinda new warp entity.”
“Yes well you should feel lucky I’ve meet one of the warps more predominant inhabitants,” Discord said with a glare dedicated not to her but to that entity.
“I guess it’s one of the Chaos Gods? I shocked you haven’t allied yourself with them,” Nightmare Moon said with a laugh.
“Well you know me I never liked working with others more of a free spirit.” Discord said with a chuckle, “Now then how did you get into this form?”
“Oh that? Once the Tatabus got strong enough I started to guide it looking for a body to inhabit all while I slowly regained my powers and my mind one day if you can even call it that I came across a young psyker growing in the womb it took some doing but I was able to merge myself and absorb the mind of the child within the womb I didn’t expect that I would be orphaned and raised to become apart of a all female religious battle order.”
Discord gave a laugh at this, “You realized that what you just did is very similar to daemonic possession right? If it wasn’t for the fact your powers are different from the warp you would have been killed for being a possessed heretic right?” The irony was not lost to Nightmare Moon.
“Oh yes ironic,” She said rolling her eyes. The two of them had slowly lowered there weapons realizing that they were both not a threat to each other.
“So what happened to the Tatabus?” Discord asked.
“Oh I still control it in fact I found out how to spread small bits of it to others granting me a degree of control over them. In every other member of this order has a small bit of it within them.” Nightmare informed him.
“Impressive,” Discord pulled out his Inquisitorial Rosette, “I myself been rocking a Inquisitor for a while now in fact,” Discord had a smile on his face as he had a idea, “How’s about we work together what do you think?”
Nightmare Moon weighed her options on this one. One hand hand this was Discord and even if he was on his side he was still unpredictable. On the other hand Discord was a Inquisitor and with that came a lot of power per the title. “Very well Discord I’ll see if I can persuade the sisters to join up with you.”
"Great so what do you go by? I am Inquisitor Dorcsid you?" Discord asked.
"I go by Nyx." Nightmare informed.
Later on on the bridge of his ship Discord and his new friend Nightmare Moon looked on as they were about to head off into the void of space. "Sir," Discord turned to the ships astropath, "I have received a distress call."
"What is it? Pirates, Dark Eldar, Tyranids, Heretics?" Discord asked.
"Orks sir it seems a system made a mistake in thinking it could keep them for training there planetary defense forces a Warboss has appeared and is united them to attack them." Discord rolled his eyes. Officially Inquisitor Dorcsid was apart of the Ordo Hereticus however he had been thinking of expanding beyond just dealing with Heretics.
"Set a course for this system I'm going to have a word with whoever is in charge of this system to see why he or she thought that keeping Orks was a great idea." Discord said as he stood up as his ship entered into the warp.
Tzeentch was smiling at the turn of events. True he didn’t plan on this happening but who was he to look a gifted horse in the mouth? Three maybe even four of the interlopers were converging in one star system and among them was the entity named Discord. “This is the perfect opportunity to kill three or even four birds with one stone so to speak.”
His form shifted to that of a long serpente bird as he gave a laugh. On one of the planets was a cult dedicated to Chaos Undivided. He would just give them a small nudge and a warp storm should lock out the system and while they are unable to escape he would nudge one maybe more Chaos warbands to that system and if all goes well Discord would no longer be among the world of the living along with his “friends”.
“You better hope your end is a fast one Discord.” With that Tzeentch flew out of his room laughing at the Spirit’s possible demise.

War in the Coxit System Part 1: Setting the Stage
Discord stood on the bridge in deep thought. Usually when his ship passed through the warp in long transits Discord had to use his powers to help move the ship along the warp. This time however it seemed something was helping him along. In fact Discord could feel as if something was influencing the warp currents to get him to his destination post haste. ‘I have a bad feeling about this.’ Discord thought to himself.
He turned to his right side to see Lionus the former Guardsmen standing at the ready. To his left was Nightmare Moon or as she was currently a Sister of Battle named Nyx. “Does anyone know anything about this system?” She asked pushing away her hair out of her eyes.
“Not much the system has five planets three of which are inhabited the earliest imperial records shows the planet had dozens of Xenos ruins with the original Human inhabitants originally worshipping these long dead Xenos.” Discord gave a look of disgust on his Inquisitor's face at this, “Suffice to say the original inhabitants are either dead or have given the Emperor’s enlightenment.”
“Services the heretics right.” One of the helmsman said. The ship soon exited from the immaterium returning to Realspace arriving in the target system, Appearing on a holographic projection was the system scans showing as other Imperium vessels come in most likely to drop off the Imperial Guard that was being deployed before taking positions to bombard the Orks position on the third planet.
“I want a full sensor sweep of the system any updates are to be voxxed to me,” Discord ordered turning to Nyx and Lionus, “I need both of you to get your teams ready for deployment I’m going to have some words with the Planetary Governor.” With that Discord walked off the bridge as both Lionus and Nightmare Moon soon following suit.
Nyx stopped as she looked back at the holographic projection of the system and glared at the main planet. She had a vision about that world. Like Luna and Celestia she could get prophetic visions seeing glimpse into the future. She saw that world and a strange glowing vortex hanging over the system. ‘I should inform Discord about this next time I see him.’ She remained herself hoping to avoid whatever this was.
The sounds of battle slowed down as a las shot blow off the last Ork’s head and shoulders and even the arms right off.Umbra placed his lascannon down looking at the pails of bodies. “They will be back this was just a scouting party more will come.” Umbra turned to the owner of the voice.
When Umbra’s ship had entered the system he found out there was already Space Marines joining the fight. After two days of fighting raiding parties these Storm Ravens and his own “sons” have been fortifying there base on the systems second planet. “Let them come once we secure this base we will be able to strike them down.” Umbra exclaimed turning back into the fortifications. The local PDF that had survived along with members of the Imperial guard was helping fortified the base with the Storm Raven’s 4th, 2nd and half the 5th companies along with Umbra’s own 2nd and 1st companies.
“I hope that you are right Primarch.” For some of his battle Brothers seeing a Primarch even one that wasn’t there own was a huge moral boost. However as the battle started to go about the Storm Ravens got to see this “Shadow King” as he was called and found his name alone strange. He wasn’t one for stealth like he had expanded someone with that name but his apathy was something to be feared. He had heard some of the Marines talking about the battle they had before they came to this system.
“You think you could do better? If so I’m all ears.” He said almost snapping at him. Of course it was hard given his voice seemed to have deep and menacing as it’s default tone. In fact now that he thought about it all the marines with him had that same tone.
“Not at the moment.” Umbra just continued his walk not bothering with the Storm Raven anymore.
The Space Marine turned away to see one of the guards Sanctioned Psykers looking at him, “Be careful I do not trust the Primarch something is off about him.” He said looking at the Primarch with a mix of fear and anger.
“Off how?” The Marine asked.
“I can’t explain it but my senses tell me all is not well about him,” He said trying to explain the feeling of the Primarch. One of the Crystal Lords the name of the Primarch’s Space Marines walked up to the psyker.
“Perhaps it is you who are off how do we not know you been speaking to things you shouldn’t be?” The marine gave a glare under his helmet.
“Are you accusing me?” The psyker asked.
“Oh no I am just pointing out that you might be lying to us about your loyalties psyker.” The Marine explained holding his lascannon close at the ready, “Or maybe we will not speak of this ever again got it?” He said threatening him.
The psyker relented and moved away from the Crystal Lord. The Space Marine turned to him giving a glare under his helmet, “Best you forget about the madman's words for your own sake.” The Crystal Lord turned and walked away leaving the Storm Raven with his own suspicions on who Primarch Umbra really was.
The moon of Coxit II was very much a barren landscape. It was big compared to it’s world with a barely breathable atmosphere. Around the moon was lost Xenos ruins and abandoned Imperial posts originally used by the PDF to train there soldiers. Within the shadows of the moon a long unused Eldar Webway gate had been activated after thousands of years on being inert. A raiding party of Dark Eldar looked over as from the ruins of the word they could see the Imperium and the Orks fighting each other across the system.
“Hmm seems that information about this system being easy pickings was a lie after all.” One of the Eldar leading the party said.
“Yes it is,” Behind them the Webway Gate flared back to life as more Eldar flooded out from the vast Webway, “Look if it isn’t our Craftworld kin what brings you here Farseer?” The Dark Eldar asked in a mocking tone.
“Oh I thought it was obvious I’m here for a good time,” The tone wasn’t what he had expected. It was seductive and not mocking or threatening. No something was up. Something was off about the Eldar in front of him.
“Who are you!?” He demanded pointing his weapons at her.
“Oh no one but the last face you will ever see.” The Eldar behind her burst into flames revealing that the Eldar with her wasn’t Eldar but some kinda humanoid incest beings,
“Attack them!” He said firing his weapon at the “Farseer” In a flash she disappeared appearing a few feet to the side in a flash of flames her disguise was dropped revealing the “Farseer’s” true self Queen Chrysalis.
“Capture them we need them alive,” She commanded pulling out a Witchblade as the bugs rushed into battle.
Discord’s transport shuttle had finally landed on the capital city of the system. He had demanded to see the Planetary Governor which the guards seemed unwilling to. However after a glare showing his badge of office and threatening to send them to there deaths he was allowed entrance.
“What is the meaning of this interruption can’t you see I’m busy!” The Governor had the look of arrogance about him.For a moment Discord saw that annoying nephew of Celestia over him, “Guards get him out of here!”
“I think not.” Discord said holding up the Inquisitorial Rosette. The Governor’s tune seemed to change almost immediately t seeing the dreaded symbol of the Inquisition.
“Inquisitor I wasn’t expecting you my deepest apologies I-” Discord held has hand up at this he had heard this before. A smug and arrogant noble getting put in his place by someone beyond his power and influence would always kiss up to that person.
“Save it your words mean nothing to me but your actions on the other hand.” Discord pulled out one of his guns, “Question what were you thinking keeping Orks on your third planet?”
“It wasn’t my idea I swear my father was the one who let them stay they were feral we didn’t think they would become so organized.” Discord rolled his eyes at his panicking explanation. He wanted to berated him for his stupidity. What kinda leader just keeps a potential threat just laying around without the means to destroy it?
“You could have cost the God-Emperor a whole system in your incompetence if one more thing goes wrong I will execute you,” At that Discord’s spine shook rattled, and rolled within him. His senses picked up a huge change in the balance of reality. Discord pointed his gun and fired it taking off the Governors head, “Hate you too Murphy.”
His vox started to busy, “Sir *static* warp storm *static* around us *Static* we pulling *static* Discord looked out as a warp storm formed within the system.
“What’s going on?” A guard asked., “Who could have done this?”
The Spirit of Chaos had a good idea who had done this, ‘I hate you too Tzeentch.’
Within the warp Tzeentch was laughing maniacally as he watched events unfold before him. “Yes everything is Just as I had planned! Soon I’ll be rid of Discord and his little friends once and for all now then who to send against him?” Floating upside down the shapeshifting Warp god looked at all the potential champions he could send against him.
“Let’s see oh my he won’t do no not at all,” He started as he looked over potential Champion number one, “or maybe he would,” He debated amongst himself, “No no not at all.” He said to himself shape-shifting into a five headed bird hydra thing and discarded that idea.
Next to appear on his “cards” was Ahriman. Tzeentch tossed that idea almost immediately out as the fool had made a deal with Discord, “I should send someone at to eliminate him for that!” Tzeentch reminded himself. The sorcerer had failed in his third attempt at the Webway already anyway. “Nah I still have use for him.”
Tzeentch form changed again this time into a six tailed monster dog with huge bird wings. He had a smile as h e finally found the perfect Champion to take out Discord. True he was officially a Champion of Khorne but he wasn’t truly devoted to him. Because of this it wouldn’t mean much in the scheme of there rivalry to bring him back to serve him. Besides Tzeetnch was sure he could hide the fact from him after all it wouldn't be the first time he did something behind his back. “Perfect we have a winner now then.” The Chaos god gathered up his energy as he resurrected him for his new mission.
“Listen to me succeed in killing the Inquisitor known as Dorcsid and I will reward you beyond your wildest dreams!” Tzeentch exclaimed.
On Coxit II the chaos Cultists had began a massive ritual which had summoned up the warp storm soon blocking the system out. Smaller portals opened up as Chaos Warbands and forces flooded out into the land awaiting for there new commander.
A new portal opened up as as A Chaos Lord walked out wearing a piece of Chaos-tainted Terminator Armour decorated with trophies. In hands hands was a daemon infused power sword screaming with the very creature imprisoned within it. And in his other hand was a Combi-Flamer mutated by the warp.
He took a deep breath having returned to the land of the living at the “benevolence” of a Chaos god. “It will be done.”
Araghast the Pillager lived once more.

War in the Coxit System Part 2: Battle lines are Drawn
Discord walked out the palace looking at the warp storm overhead for a few moments. He closed his eyes and expanded his senses on the storm. It seemed to have forced out the ships that were close to it with some being unfortunate enough to be caught within the storm. Discord’s own Inquisitor ship was one of them but it was lucky having deployed it’s Gellar fields and was slowly flying back into realspace. ‘Good I won’t lose my stuff, I hate when that happens.’
Discord opened his eyes and started to walk to his transport expanding his mind out he made connect with Nightmare Moon’s mind, “Hey Nyx guess who I am?” Discord asked telepathically.
“Celestia’s former personal pigeon toilet? Or is it Fluttershy’s reality bending guard dog? No wait it’s the...” Discord literally projecting his anger at her though his telepathy.
“Finish that sentence and I will make you regret ever existing.” Discord warned in a calm voice which hid the killing intent.
“Alright fine. You know you can be a real killjoy when you want to be.” Nightmare Moon informed him, “So how did meeting the Governor go?”
“Oh you know he was arrogant then tried to kiss my feet… and now he’s currently being clean off the wall.” Discord joked as he walked into the transport.
“Bolter to the face?” Nightmare Moon asked.
“Close try a layered monofilament round shaped as a bolter caliber and charged to explode in a marco force explosion.” Discord explained to her.
“Did you alter them?” Nightmare Moon asked she knew as much as anyone about how technology worked in the Imperium though she would be honest she was using her magic sometimes to help her out. Discord given his advanced age probably had better understanding of Technology then she did.
“Nope reforged them from Eldar Technology in fact my Sword and power armor? Reforged Eldar technology I modified with my magic to look like Imperial Technology.” Discord’s transport finally arrived at the Imperial Guardsmen main base on the planet there he saw Lionus and Nightmare Moon as he walked out to be greeted by members of the Imperial Guard.
“Inquisitor Dorcsid I am Commissar Lokken,” The Commissar greeted with a bow,
“Nice to meet you Commissar I trust my friends have been well received?” Inquisitor Dorcsid asked as he walked by him stopping while he stood to the side of him his back turned to his own.
“Yes there no need to worry,” The Commissar was surprised when the Inquisitor turned around and brought him into a hug with one hand grasping his shoulder.
“Don’t worry I expect you to keep the hersey down amongst your own men now if you excuse me I need to talk to the bases leader mind me asking where her or she is?” Inquisitor Dorcsid asked him.
“Yes the Colonel is right this way.” The Commissar said as he lead the Inquisitor alongside Lionus and Nyx. When they entered into the command center Discord hands hovered over his guns. Only Lionus picked this up and gripped his Weapon tightly in his hands. “The Colonel should be right though-” He was about to open the doors when Discord pulled him back.
“Get back,” Discord said grabbing him as a las shot almost hit him. In a swift moment Discord pulled out both this guns and in a fast moment pointed and fired a few rounds. He kicked the doors open again. There holding the bleeding stump of a arm was a guardsmen surrounded by the charred corpses of the Colonel and his council around him.
“What is the meaning of this!?” The Commissar demanded looking at the seen. Discord executed the guardsmen with a shot to the head.
“Seems he was a unsanctioned psyker must have got himself possessed when the warp storm formed.” Discord explained having felt the possessed soldier as he walked down the hall. He looked over the corpses, “Well this sucks hey Commissar Lokken can you lead this regiment yourself?”
“Well yes I suppose.” Lokken said Discord pulled off the Colonels power fist off his corpse.
“Then congrats I name you Colonel-Commissar Lokken.” Discord paused looking at Lionus, “I can do that right? Or am I actually overstepping me command for the first time ever?” He asked him not knowing if as an Inquisitor he had that kinda authority.
“Considering we can’t get a clear message to Segmentum Command and you're technically the highest ranking official here I guess you can.” Lionus guessed as despite having been with both him and his predecessor this had never happened before and he didn’t really know much about being an Inquisitor himself.
“Very well then then by my right as a member of the Emperor's Holy Inquisition I hereby name this regiment under the command of Commissar Lokken now then we have bigger things to worry about then the Orks if the feeling in my gut tells me anything.” Discord said as he walked up to the communicator.
“I wonder if I can get a signal boosted maybe make contact with the other forces on the two other planets,” Discord said to himself trying to get the thing to work, “Were a tech-priest when you need him?” Finally he got something on the commutator.
“This is Sergeant *static* of the *static* of *staic* we being route *static* by the Emperor what is that thing?” *static* these *static* not Orks! Repeat not *static*” Discord tried to get the machine spirit to work flipping dills while reciting some of the chats he had learned from the priests to see if they even worked.
“Hello this is Inquisitor Dorcsid please respond what have you come in contact with?!” Discord screamed into the communicator.
There was no response but static leading Discord to believe his communicator was destroyed. Just before the he turned it off a voice spoke from it, “So you're the Inquisitor Tzeentch what’s me to kill?” The voice spoke through the communicator.
“Who is this identify yourself!” Discord demanded he had a idea what he is the moment he said Tzeentch. He was most likely either a Chaos Champion or a Chaos Lord the insane shapeshifter most have sent to end his life.
“Here me Inquisitor for I will be the last face you will ever see! I am Araghast the Pillager! Master of Hounds, Champion of the Dark Gods! I have been brought back from the depths of the warp to end your pitiful existence! Pray to your Corpse Emperor for your little meat shields will NOT STOP ME!” Discord had a smile at this. He was actually wondering if this Araghast could back up his boost.
“Well then Araghast I want you to hear me! I am Inquisitor Dorcsid of the Ordo Hereticus, a member of The Eternal God-Emperor of Mankind’s Holy Inquisition. By my word whole planets can be condemned to oblivion itself! We will show you heretic the true power of the master of mankind! I await to send you kicking and screaming to your false gods Heretic!” Discord said turning it off before looking at everyone in the room.
“This just keeps getting from bad to worse.” Nightmare Moon commented.
Discord walked up to the Sister of Battle before placing a hand on her shoulder, “Yes yes it does,”
Walking in was a young lady wearing a Commissar outfit walking up to the group, “Sir what is going on what’s this about a Inquisitor oh my Emperor!”
At seeing this what Discord could discern was a Commissar-Junior his tone seemed to change, “Correction this is now from worse to slightly less bad,” Discord said as he tried to turn on the charm, “Hello Inquisitor Dorcsid but you can call me Dorcsid and who are you?” He asked in a flirting tone.
Nightmare Moon just blinked at this. She could not wrap her mind around this. ‘What the Fuck?’
Araghast smashed the communicator with his fist before walking of of the blood soaked room bodies everywhere.As he did he looked over the city over run with forces of the Dark gods fanticail heretics mutants and the Chaos Space Marines. The population was to be rounded up those that converted to the worship of the Chaos Gods would soon be broken and used as cannon fodder or mutated into horrifying mutants those that didn’t would be sacrificed to the Gods.
“I am surprised that the Master of Fate would resurrect you to kill some Inquisitor.” A Chaos Marine next to him exclaimed.
“I do not question the reason Lord of Changes reasons as I have learn in my time he has his reasons I well kill this Inquisitor get my reward and find that Trator Eliphas and add his head to my Trophy rack!” Araghast swear to the gods themselves. He looked at the Marine though his helmet, “Get everyone ready we are going to hit the servants of the Corpse Emperor before they even know what’s happening!”
The marine gave the resurrected Chaos Lord a bow before heading off to give the command.

War in the Coxit System Part 3: Meanwhile on Coxit III
“WAAAGH!” The battle cry of the Orks screamed as battle was joined. The sounds of shoota’s lasguns bolter rounds and even shells from Imperial tanks were seen and heard across the ruins of the agri-world cities.
In the trenches that had been formed from the ruins guardsmen fired there weapons at the Ork Boyz that responded with there own crudely made or savaged guns right at them. A boy tossed a grechin right into the group armed with it’s combat knife the poor guardsmen get his neck ripped right open blood gushing out coating the Goblin like alien.
A guardsmen pulled out his sidearm shooting the Gretich only to cause both it him and few other unfortunate others next to him him to explode as his shot hit a grenade which was strapped to the creature when he was tossed at them. As the boyz gave a laugh at this they received a shot to there face and chest by both heavy bolter rounds and las shots from lascannons. The space marines walked out firing with guardsmen providing support fire as they engaged to Xenos.
“Suffer not the Xenos to live!” Shooted a priest of the Adeptus Ministorum chatting as the battle waged on string the hearts of the more zealous members of the guard to fight the Orkish hordes, “We shall not flutter remember! The Emperor Protects!” A gretich moved to attack him only for the priest to pull out a laspistol and shot the greenskin though the chest.
A crippled ork boy was crushed under the boots of Umbra power armor. The Primarch looked on as the tides of battle had turned twice in the battle so far. When they had first entered into the city they had faced Ork resistance but were making a steady advance. That all changed when the Ork Mech boyz came with the orkish warmachines.
The Waaagh had slowly turned in the greenskins favor as they were forced to draw back to defendable positions. By a miracle luck or the Orks own stupidity there Trakka was finally taken out and the tide of battle returned to the Imperiums favor. When Umbra and the Space Marines had entered the fray and now victory was all but assured. “These Orks are as worthless as they are stupid,” Walking up to him was his second company Captain Isaac Judas in his full armor.
Umbra shot back to his gene son firing his autocannon at the Orks all around them as pieces of green flash matter exploded all over them, “Stupid yes these idiots don’t even know when they are beat!” Umbra screamed shooting a Ork who came rushing at him with his choppa point blank blowing off its head and upper body.
“Perhaps they believe they can still win this.” Judas commented firing his heavy bolter though the greenskins.
“If there was more of them I wouldn’t be surprised if that actually happened!” Umbra had learned from viewing how worthless some of there technology was he came to the logical conclusion that the Orks were subconscious reality warpers.
“I’m amazed they haven’t just conquered the galaxy with there abilities!” Judas screamed as he gave a curse from a shot almost piecing though his armor.
“We should feel lucky that they are too stupid to realize it then.” Umbra said as he pulled out his power sword to slash right through the Ork charging at him. The sword was a unique sight the handle was blood red with a blade that was jet black. It was said that a piece of the crystal horm in his throne was forged within it.
“Agh! Yu dumb boyz fite da hummies!” Screamed the Nob leading this warband as he shot a worthless grechin in the face. The nob pulled out it’s choppa a looted chainsword and charged in screaming “WAAAGH!” At the top of his lungs.
“Someone take that Ork out now!” Umbra ordering the guardsmen and Marines to take him out. A Storm Raven pointed his heavy bolter at the Nob to fire only to get a round shot right through into it’s broken armor crippling his arm. The Nob grabbed him and with a heavy swing cut his head right off.
The other ork boyz followed the Nob in rushing the guardsmen and the Marines in an almost suicidal rampage shooting and chopping the guardsman shrugging off almost life threatening wounds. Umbra groaned as he walked up thinking he would have to deal with the Nob himself.
A young guardsman was panicking as the Nob came on him. He tripped over a dead guardsmen looking to see his former comrades lasgun right there. A idea seemed to form as he pulled it’s power pack right off and after some quick doing tossed it at the nob. A flash of light caused him to shield his eyes. When it was done the Nob collapsed on the ground most of the right side of it’s body and part of it’s head had been blown off and castrated.
“Well what do we have here?” Umbra asked the guardsmen as he looked over the corpse of the Nob, “Impressive use of the power packs at least they are good for something.” Umbra said kicking the lasgun finding it a cheap and almost useless weapon.
The sounds of battle was finally grinding down as the last of the orks were finally being put down. Umbra walked out on a higher vantage point to look at the battlefield. Bodies of guardsmen Marines and Orks littered the ruins of the city. He looked down at one of the bodies next to him. It was one of the Crystal Lords his own sons. He placed his hands on the body and for a moment looked it over. With his hand hovering right over his hearts he two whips of darkness came from his eyes as a pulse of energy passed through his hand and into the Marine’s body.
After a few moment the once dead marine gave a gasp as his wounds healed up. “Stay down the others will come to pick you up.” Umbra whispered to him.
“Yes my lord.” The Marine said with a raspy breath the effects of being resurrected always caused some discomfort to them but it was worth it to continue the fight.
Umbra look over the men and raised his sword up high, “Soldiers of the Imperium here me! We have claimed victory and have retaken this city from the vile Xenos who dare lay claim it it! We are the chosen of the Emperor! This is only the beginning we will drive the file monsters off this Planet and we will slay there Warboss! Remember those who gave there lives remember them for they are with the Emperor!” Umbra said rallying the men below him with his speech. “For the Imperium! For the Emperor!”
“For the Imperium! For The Emperor!” The sounds of replies came in a corus all at once.
Umbra walked into his makeshift command center looking over the holographic projection of the planet. “What is the status of the storm?” Umbra asked.
“It hasn’t dissipated sure the psyker has refused to speak about it and we can’t seem to make contact with segmentum command.” The Colonel explained.
“Can we make contact with the other two planets?” Umbra asked finding the appearance of the warp storm both annoying and strange.
“We managed to make partial contact with Coxit IV the men there can’t hold out much longer and I fear they would be over run by tomorrow as for Coxit II we can’t get a single to them the storm seems to be strongest around it.”
“Do we have a way to transport ourselves between the planets or is that impossible?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Yes I believe so but we have no interplanetary transports.” Umbra wanted to slam his fist into the table in frustration at this.
“Does this planet have any interplanetary transports of it’s own?” Umbra asked though he had a feeling he wasn’t going to like the answer.
“:Unfortunately sir the only spaceport that would have them is currently the Orks primary staging area on this world and are most likely being used by them to funnel forces between the worlds.”
Umbra closed his eyes at this debating his next move, “Sir our scouts have reported in what have have learned is unsettling.” A guardsmen who was handling the coms said as he walked in.
“What have the found?” Umbra asked.
“It seems that more Orks are landing on there primary base in greater numbers than ever before,” That wasn’t a good sign. The fact they were sending in reinforcements was unsettling, “Just before our servo skulls went offline from a Ork scout we caught sight of what seemed to be the Ork Warboss.” Now it made sense to Umbra what was going on.
“Seem’s the Warboss is deciding to personally lead his forces in taking this planet,” Umbra said giving a glare as he formulated the risks and opportunities this presented. One one hand this meant that the bulk of the Ork forces would soon be upon them. This also meant that if he could take out the Warboss without having to literally invading Coxit IV which was probably becoming an Ork Stronghold.
“There is something else that compound to the west something strange was picked up by the servo skull sent there.” Umbra raised a eyebrow at this. Ever since the Ork attack and the warp storm forming the compound had been strangely quiet.
“What is it?” The Shadow King asked.
“Well it looks like Space Marines but there armor have more spikes and this strange symbol on them,” That peaked Umbra’s attention. The Storm Ravens and the Crystal Lords should be the only Space Marines within this system. This could only mean one thing.
“Tell everyone that these Marines are not to be contacted I know who they are and they are no allies. I will lead a detachment of my Crystal Lords and deal with these renegades.” Umbra said as he walked out of the command center. Umbra looked around and found his secobd company Captain. “Judas come with me I need to speak to you.”
The two of them walked out of earshot and Umbra turned to his gene son, “Judas I need you to get a team of the Crystal Lords ready we got some Chaos Marines to deal with.” Judas blinked at this.
“Chaos Space Marines? Do you think they are the reason why the Warp Storm formed?” Judas asked his Gene Father.
“No something else must have caused that doesn’t matter I need you to get a team ready so we can take them out before we have two problems to deal with.” Umbra explained.
“As you wish,” Judas started as he bowed to him, “King Sombra.” He got back up after saving his Father’s real name something that he had only allowed within private.
Sombra gave him a nod and walked away to get ready for a raid on the compound, ‘I wonder what would be there response to seeing a Primarch?’ Sombra gave a smile at this. He suddenly remember that as Chaos Space Marines no one in the Imperium would trust there words if they saw him using his powers. A evil smile came on his face at this. ‘Finally I’ve been meaning to test out my powers in this new form.’
On Coxit II’s moon the fight between the Changelings and the Dark Eldar was long over. The Eldar were imprisoned within there own cages while Chrysalis looked them over a smile on her face.
“Oh my you at you all trapped in your own cages awaiting your fates.” The Queen said with a giggle at the irony.
“What do you want with us?” One of the trueborn asked.
“Oh nothing much I just need a way for my kind to navigate the warp and I thought what better way then the brains of an Eldar?” Chrysalis said with a smile. A changeling came up to her rallying a message though it’s hive mind. “What? What do you mean the warp storm is knocking the moon out of orbit?!”
Chrysalis looked up at the vortex of of the immaterium. The vortex of raw emotions, thoughts dreams and memories was to most a hellish plain that was the home of untold horrors. To the changelings however it was something else. It was the source of there most valuable of resources there food. However even it was a threat to them and Chrysalis would rather fight Celestia with no magic then enter into the warp.
"There isn't enough time for us all to pass though the Webway before the moon is swallowed up get these Eldar back to the Hiveworld while me and the rest of the war party will land on the planet in disguise as humans when the storms dissipate I expect you to evict us from the planet now go!" Chrysalis commanded as she turned her gasp to Coxit II.

War in the Coxit System Part 4: The Raid and Duel
Three squads of the Crystal Lords looked over from the cliff overlooking the compound. There Primarch walking up to see the Chaos Marine outpost as Judas walked up next to him. “There seems to be only a handful of Chaos Marines as we can tell most of them seem to be normal cultists.” Judas informed his Gene father.
Sombra turned to him after hearing all this, “Most likely the cultists will be used as meat shields could you tell which of the Chaos Marines we are facing?” Sombra asked. He would hate to have attack and not know what the enemy was and what plan he could use to attack them.
“It seems they are Chaos Marines of Khorne.” Judas informed. Sombra turned to his sons a plan having formed with this information.
“Squads One I want you to circle around and attack from behind, Squad two I want you on that chiff for cover fire, and finally Squad Three you will follow me as we attack from the front I will give the single to attack,” Sombra looked around to see if they all got the idea, “Any question?” Sombra asked his sons.
One of the Marines from Squad one spoke up, “Can we use our powers against them?” Sombra gave this some thought. This was there first attack against the forces of the traitor legions but from what Umbra heard Khorne Marines were resistant to what they called “Sorcery and Magic”.Each of his sons had a piece of his essence and with it has Umbrum Magic which was most likely a foreign concept to them.
“We do not know if it would work on them and I would we only use it as a last resort or to resurrect the fallen.” Sombra answered, “Anyone else?” Sombra asked looking at his sons. None of them spoke up. Sombra gave them all a nod before placing his helmet on, “Let’s move out.”
The Crystal Lords started to move into position as there Shadow King had commanded them to be. Judas took Squad One to flank the enemy. Squad Two moved up higher to the cliff on the right while Squad Three moved into position. Sombra pulled out his blade in with a stomp a wisp of Dark energy came from his eyes as a glow in each eyes singled the attack, “Death to all who oppose us!” With that the Marines began there assault on the fort.
Both Squads One and Three summoned moved in with suppressing fire as they attacked the cultists at the walls shooting them down. There weapons crude and mostly salvaged and handmade did little to the Power Armor of the Marines. As they made it to the walls they punched into it and soon a outer covering of dark black encased it, “Now!” Sombra creamed and crashed the black casing shattering the wall causing it to fall.
“Squad Two move on the wall now!” Sombra screamed as his men soon were under attack by the Chaos Space Marines who took noticed to the attackers.
“Foolish slaves of the False Emperor you will soon die! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!” Sombra blocked a swing of a warp-tainted power axe with his own Sword.
“Your so called Blood God is as much a deity as I am a human being.” Sombra taunted his foe. The taunt was somewhat lost to his opponent as he couldn’t see what really inhabited the body in front of him.
With a heavy throw of his weight Sombra knocked his opponent back and pulling out his sidearm opened fire on him shooting him before blocking another swing and counterparting with his own gun shooting his exposed face at near point blank rage. Sombra hearts needed in another key signaling the return of one no two of his split essences as the Marines died .
A Chaos Marine next to him swang and chopped off the arm of one of his Marines Sombra opened fired on him as did a Memer of Squad Two who landed on the walls. The one ared Marine pulled out his sidearm and added in three rounds before the Marine finally dropped down.
Another off key singled a third had met his end causing Sombra to to rush in as he knew where it was coming from shooting his way passed the cultists he felt a fourth off key then a fifth. Finally he forced the doors open to the center of the fortification to see Judas holding his own in fight with a Chaos Champion of Khorne with the bodies of a few Chaos Marines, four of his sons and lesser daemons of Khorne littering the field.
“Enough!” Sombra screamed at him. In a flash Judas was pulled away by Sombra who gave a glare at the Chaos Champion, “Judas take charge I will kill this one myself.”
“Very well my lord.” Judas said as he walked away as Sombra put away his side arm looking at his opponent. The Marine’s armor showned the signs of being formed on one of the Dark Mechanicus daemon worlds which what looked like daemonic energy and flesh fused into bits of armor from Mark III and Terminator used in it’s creation. On his chest was the symbol of Khorne with the faces of his daemons burned on to each side. A cape of what appeared to have been his enemies bones waved behind him as the skulls of his foes struck onto the skins on his back.
He glared at Sombra from under his helmet his warp tainted Power Axe in hand, “He was putting up a good fight right when you ruined it sorceror!” He screamed at him enraged.
Sombra hand on his sword at the ready he saw his own Gene children's corpses around him there blood flowing into the ground still potent with there father's magic, ‘No time like the present to test this out.’ Sombra walked up to him, “Why face the second Captain when you can face the Chapter Master or Better yet,” Sombra swang at the Marine his blade meeting the axe, “How about the Primarch?”
The Marine gave a glare at him but gave a laugh of excitement when he released that he was fighting a Primarch, “Seems they found one of the two missing Primarch? Khorne will enjoy your Skull on his throne!” Sombra moved back having been pushed back by the corrupted Astras he dodged a swing for his head and when he attacked his was blocked by the axe once again. “BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULL FOR THE SKULL THRONE!”
“The only one who will get any enjoyment is my Father when I end your Traitorous life!” Sombra screamed back at him before sweeping the leg of his foe the Khorne champion rolled out of the way from a swing get up he delivered a punch to Sombra knocking him back before he went in swinging. Sombra reacted as back as he could lumping out of the way before almost tripping on a corpse. He brought his sword up to parry the attack and kicked him right off.
Sombra got back up and with wisps out his eyes turned the blood of his sons into black encasing which moved around the area. As the Marine came to attack Black crystals shot out in his path to slow him down enraging the Champion of the god that hated sorcerers, “You coward! Fight me instead of hiding behind trickery!” He shattered the crystals around him only to have a swing hit his arm cutting into it and with a blast to the chest he was sent back his axe dropped from his fists blood dripping off his arm.
“What gives you or your god the right to define a warrior anyway? None as a warrior is not something it’s an idea and all ideas come in multiple forms.” Sombra said as he held his hand up as crystals started to form encasing his body much to the Marine’s shook.
“Impossible Sorcerery can’t affect me!” He screamed causing Sombra to laugh.
“You are resistant to your warp magic mine is let’s just say a foreign concept to your reality,” The crystal crept up till it encased his full body, “Though I must admit your resistant offers you some protection against my power but,” Sombra swung his blade and shattered the crystals and the Marine to shards a smile on his face as this was the same spell he used to usurp the Crystal Empire’s Throne for himself, “It doesn’t save you from me.” Sombra waved his hands as the crystals formed over the bodies of the traitors as he heard the conflict coming to an end.
He walked away a bit and picked up the axe from the champion holding it he gave it a few swings, “I think I’ll take this as a trophy,” He focused his powers on it to slowly stripped the warp taint with his Dark Magic. When he was done Sombra walked out as everything save his son's bodies was encased by crystals. A glow formed in his hand and with a fist the whole place broke apart into dust.

War in the Coxit System Part 5: Three on One
Chrysalis had her hand up as her Changelings and her waited for the moment to strike there targets. A scouting Chaos Space Marine paused along with the heretics feeling as though there were being watched. In the pathway three more heretics sat ready for his command. With a signal the ambush began as three heretics who came to greet the Marine dropped there disguises and opened fire on the Marine along with those in hiding letting loose on them. The Marine didn’t stand a chance and the Heretics were soon meat bits everywhere.
“We should move just incase they come looking for them.” Chrysalis commanded. Ever since they landed on Coxit II they been attacking the Chaos Warband with ambushes usually taking out a few at the time. She didn’t want to risk a direct assault on the Chaos forces as she knew that it would be foolish as she didn’t have the ling power to do so.
In a flash the Changelings took on the form of Humans Cultists and moved out. After a few hours they came across the sounds of a battle being fought. Normally Chrysalis would go the otherway as the Cultists and loyalists fought it out but this time she felt something was off. Something she didn’t expect to find in this universe, Equis Magic.
Looking from the shadows Chrysalis saw as Sororitas and Guardsmen held the line against the cultists and the Chaos Space Marines being thrown out at them. However Chrysalis looked at them and could feel the familiar energy of a Alicorn yet corrupted by something. “Nightmare Moon?” Chrysalis asked finding it hard to imagine that the dark half of Luna was here in this universe.
A Ling turned to her and Chrysalis rolled her eyes, “Fine we’ll help them change into Eldar though it would at least be somewhat believable.” Chrysalis said as in a flash of flames they reappeared looking like Eldar.
“Right flank cover us now!” Nyx screamed over the vox as she tried to corrandit the forces around her. After a few brief skirmishes with Chaos force it seemed that the commanding officer of the guardsmen had unfortunately got his head ripped right off by a foaming heretic. Now Nightmare Moon found herself trying to lead this band of forces on her own while they were being shot down by the forces of the Chaos Warband. What she wouldn’t give to have Space Marines to help her with this mess!
“What in the Emperor!” A Guardsmen said as shots were fired from both behind the Chaos Forces and to the sides.
“Don’t question it push forward while they are temporarily broken! Don’t waste this opportunity!” Nyx screamed over the Vox as the guardsmen and Sororitas fired off there weapons finally in a attacking position while their opponents were forced to defend themselves.
As they pushed the Chaos forces back the Imperial forces could see that it was Eldar who had came to there aid. However Nightmare Moon gave a glare as she could feel the familiar sensation of Equis magics.
“For Kaela Mensha Khaine!” The Farseer screamed as she swung her blade through the helmet of her opponent and pulled it out. Nyx while the guard was to much in the heat of battle to notice, charged up up her sword with her magic to cleave right though another marine.
As the heretics either ran away retreated or were slaughtered the Eldar Farseer herself walked up to greet Nyx, “What no thank you for helping you with them?” The “Farseer” asked mimicing the smug tone of a Eldar. Nyx closed her eyes as she had a very good guess who this really was.
“How about we talk in private about it filthy Xeno? I can hardly begin to wonder how it is you are here on this planet.” Nyx said with a similar smug tone.
‘Ok lets see that’s the last of them… hopefully.’ Discord thought to himself as he put another round into the Possessed Chaos Marine just to be sure. With the storm hanging above them day was about as bright as night and if it wasn’t for the fact he didn’t see the systems star he would have almost mistaken it for morning.
After about a few days of fighting it became clear that this was going to be a drawn out battle for the planet as the two sides reinforced there positions before launching attacks on each other. While the Imperial Guard was making gains at the rate things were going, plus the amount of ammunition they had, which Discord discovered was less then needed and almost wanted to go find the Administrim idiot who fucked up on that so he could kill him for indirectly causing Hersey.
The only reason the Chaos forces haven’t summoned up a greater daemon to aid them was because of the Tatanabus and Discord both keep them at bay otherwise he would just might have to drop his disguise and toss the planet into the sun, ‘That’s looking very tempting at the moment I might add!’ Discord screamed into his mind.
Actually now that he thought about it could he close the warp storm or at least open a way for the Imperial Navy to drop off reinforcements? ‘Discord you there?’ Nightmare Moon asked using the telepathic connection he had set up for both of them.
‘Oh no Discord is off killing ancient Star Gods I’m the Silent King nice to meat you.’ Discord replied in a mocking robotic zombie tone, ‘What is it this time Nightmare?’
‘Oh nothing much, only I just found Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings,’ Nightmare Moon said in a false happy tone, ‘Mind me asking who else did you bring with you? Sombra, the Wendigos? Are we going to find out Tirek has conquered a half the galaxy one of these days?’ Nightmare screamed at him.
‘I told you blame that Equality pseudo-cultist and probably mentally unstable Unicorn!’ Discord yelled back at her as he simply shot the head off a heretic who thought he could attack him from behind.
‘Really and who here tried to force his way out of being returned to Stone because of the the rewrite of time causing him to drag us into this Nightmare of a galaxy?’ Nightmare Moon asked. Discord didn’t comment on this, ‘You know for a eons old Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony you think and act like you are a newborn child!’
‘Anyway your anger aside mind if I speak to Chrysalis now?’ Discord then focused through Nightmare Moon to speak to Chrysalis, ‘Hey undead bug Queen how it…’
‘DISCORD WHAT IN THE NAME OF TARTARUS WERE YOU THINKING!’ Chrysalis screamed into his head causing him to wick. Discord wondered if Chrysalis had developed a hive mind for her species because it felt like millions maybe even billions were screaming at him.
‘Ok you done?’ Discord asked.
‘Yes,’ Chrysalis said satisfied that she got to scream at him.
‘So the Chrysalis how are you dealing with this reality?’ Discord asked the “Undead Bug Queen” as he called her.
‘Let’s see on one hand there is a whole dimension of emotions for my kind to feed on, more than enough so we never starve. On the other hand the “prey” that live in said dimension are a hassle to hunt and contain so we can feed on it,” Discord wanted to laugh at this he could only picture how Chrysalis learned this mess, “Fortunately for me a Eldar Craftworld though we could be of use as cannon fodder against there enemies a few deaths here and there a bit of shapeshifting and pretty soon the whole Craftworld is now a massive hive for my races future.’
‘You know… I am strangely happy that you stole one of there craftworlds… who am I kidding fuck the Space Elves!’ Discord said as he walked back to the outpost. The more Discord learned about the Eldar the more he wanted them all dead. He actually wondered how a species could be this blind to there own arrogance. They caused the birth of a fucking Chaos god because of it! ‘Next time I see a craftworld I’m smashing a moon on it, let’s see your Death god form now with one less Craftworld!’
‘We both heard that.’ Nightmare Moon said.
‘Wow Discord are you ok?’ Chrysalis asked.
“Oh yes perfectly fine I’m just adapting this this world you know.’
‘Ok but the moment you start giving “Gifts” to cults you form on a Monday and demand the souls of your enemies I’m going to hit you got it?’ Nxy said warning him.
‘Don’t worry, I would be like the rest of them, after all conforming to the group is far too Orderly for me to ever do.’
War in the Coxit System Part 6: Final
Discord removed his hat as he entered the tent command center. To his right stood Lionus, Nxy and Colonel-Commissar Lokken. To his left was Chrysalis under the disguise of a Human. “Alright now then it’s been a week since we been fighting these heretics and Traitor.” The tactical screen flashed and fizzled for a moment, “How’s our manpower?” He asked Lokken.
“It could be worse Inquisitor.” Discord took that as they were becoming thin. He knew that they couldn’t keep this up anymore. Most of there vehicles were literally had few if any ammunitions remaining and there fuel was running dry.
“Great so we are running on empty and with the storm in the system we won’t resupply anytime soon,” Discord shook his head, “How about the Eldar?” He asked the officer that Chrysalis was impersonating. He knew it wasn’t Eldar and those of the Ordo Xenos would point out that there technology looks far more crude but everyone else just assumed they were Eldar.
“They been helping us out but no one knows why they are here though there appearance did coincide with Coxit II moon being consumed by the storm.” Lionus said pointing out. What Discord gathered from Chrysalis there was a Webway gate on the Moon and rather than face the daemons of the warp she sent half her forces back through the gate while she and the other half waited the storm out.
Discord knew that there was something she was keeping quite about but didn’t press her anymore, “Great and Coxit III?”
“Still can’t get contact to them,” Nyx said causing Discord to give a sigh.
“Great anything else we should know about?” Discord asked. Lokken pressed a button and they saw as the Chaos forces destroyed outpost after outpost.
“They have amassed there forces sir, they are moving for our command center.” Discord gave a sigh closing his eyes. If this get worse he was going to have to find some way for his Inquisitor persona to disappear for a bit so he can cut loose as his true self.
“Get a order over the vox, all forces are to rally themselves back here now!” Discord commanded. It was strange that he was more or less taking charge over everyone here, “I’m going to go to the city to make sure the heretics haven’t infiltrated the refugees,” Discord said walking away hoping to use his departure to change back to normal.
When he walked out however the sirens blared as the battle had begun. ‘Chaos Damn it!’ Discord screamed to himself as the the fortress get ready for the assault of the Chaos Warband.
Araghast lead the charge into the forces of the Corpse Emperor there bassition would fall and with it the planet would be the Dark Gods and The Inquisitor will be dead. “FOOLISH SERVANTS OF THE CORPSE EMPEROR YOUR PETTY RESISTANT ENDS NOW!” He screamed promising them there destruction as the Guard fired on his forces hoping to hold the line against for there to be reinforcements.
The Chaos Lord turned to the sides on one of the towers as he was told right where is quercy neared. The Inquisitor gained the guard on the front lines to holding them off the first wall, “Destroy that wall and tower now!” He commanded as they brought out the foul tainted seige and heavy weapons to bear on the wall.
Discord himself stumbled as the walls were shot off. A shell round came right at him causing him to jump off the avoid it landing on the battlefield with a groan, “Great what else can go, “A power armor boot was seen in front of him, “wrong?” Discord rolled out of the fire from the flamer and got back up pulling his sword.
“It seems you die this day Inquisitor,” Araghast pulled out his daemon weapon, “You're Corpse Emperor can not SAVE YOU NOW!” He said swinging his blade only for Discord to block it with his own and hold his ground.
“Corpse, this, corpse that, Pretty sure the fact your so called “gods” can’t roll over the Imperium like you all praise means that he is still alive and fighting them, if anything this proves they are failures!” Discord said knocking him back, “If anything you are too stupid to see that you're ‘gods’ aren’t deities at all!” Discord said his blade coated in fire as he charged back to meet the sword.
Araghast was fourses at him. Discord had a smile as this was what he needed, A heretic was about to attack Discord when the Chaos Lord glared at him, “No he is mine! I will show him the True Power the gods offer!” Araghast screamed as the two of them dueled.
“Oh I struck a nerve? Trust me that voice in the back of your head that tells you I’m right, or is screaming at you praises probably both like the insane idiot you are!” Discord taunted with a smile. Araghast kicked him back for this and attempted to open fire. Discord raised pulled out his gun and shot it out of his hands, “No swords only!” Discord screamed going in for another swing.
The Spirit looked around as most of the Guardsmen on the first wall were dead and while he would love to drop his disguise he had spent far too long fighting this fallen Marine and wanted to break his will or his arrogant attitude. As the two of them prally again a shell hit just in front of them tossing them both back. Discord got back up only to cough as he was impaled through the chest by the daemon blade. ‘Oh Chaos! Impalement is a bitch!’ Discord screamed in his head. Another shot soon broke the wall as it came crushing down.
When the dust settled Araghast stood over the rubble that severed as the Inquisitor’s tone. Araghast held his fist up in triumpe.
Tzeentch laughed as he watched the turn of events, “Finally he is dead, Just As…” Something was wrong the future showed Araghast being defeated a engle claw holding his helmet up high.
“AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” He screamed at this. He was about to command Araghast to destroy the rumble when a voice yelled out across the warp.
“TZEEETCH, YOU MAGIC USing WEAKLING!” The waiver of fate changed into a five eyed bird shark. He cursed everything as Khorne had figured something was off and now had probably just altered the other two with his rage.
Back on Coxit, as Araghast walked away from the “tomb” the rumble moved as the Inquisitor stood back up his eyes closed both his body glowing, “Enough holding back!” He screamed and his body exploded back into it’s true form.
“What is the meaning of this!?” Araghast demanded. Discord disappeared and reappeared behind him.
“Surprise motherbucker.” Discord growled as with a snap of his talons.
Nightmare Moon watched as a Chaos Marine fired his weapon only for it to do nothing. A glass of milk was tossed behind there lines which exploded like a bomb. ‘Oh now you go all out!’ Nyx screamed at Discord.
Araghast searched for a weapon but found he had none he looked at the daemon in front of him in confusion, “What is going on!”
Discord picked him up this his powers while forming a throne to sit on. He tossed several seeds down to let his puffer vines sprout and take care of most of these forces while he summoned up a glass of milk to drink and drank the glass instead of the milk, “Oh Tzeentch didn’t tell you? I’m Discord Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony and you…” Discord brought him up to him, “Are going to regret your life.”
Discord got up and smashed the throne right into him knocking him back into the ground. Araghast got up and fired a blast of lightning at him with his psyker abilities. Discord split his body down the middle and simply had the attack pass him before reforming. “You bore me.” Discord said with a snap the ground opened up and started to encase him, “I’ll be taking your helmet as a motto of all the time we shared how is that?” Discord said before ripping the helmet off. And encasing him in stone. “I’ll drop you off into the Sun later,” He said before focusing on the warp storm.
It was far more harder then he thought but slowly the Storm disappeared as he closed it up. Ships watched as the planets became visible. With a deep breath Discord watched as the storm slowly disappeared.
The battle was finally won. When the storm disappeared the ships waiting on the other side reinforced the guard and slowly the heretics were killed off. Inquisitor Dorcsid was found soon afterwards one of his arms missing and his leg broken. He was quickly given a biotic replacement for his arm and finally had contact outside the planet, “Inquisitor Dorcsid here what is the current status of Coxit III and Coxit IV.”
“Coxit III is under Ork siege Space Marines are pushing them back, Coxit IV is now a almost completely Infested with Orks.” He hard over the Vox.
“Great any words for reinforcements?” He asked.
“Most of the guard was deployed somewhere else when the Storm formed it could take weeks for a new regiment to be deployed to this system.” Came the reply over the communications.
“We don’t have that kind of time there only one option left.” Discord stood back up as the transport came to get him. It wasn’t long until Discord was looking over the helm from his seat on his throne. The ships moved over the planet of Coxit IV, “Are any ships armed with a Cyclonic Torpedo?” Discord asked.
After a few moments the helmsman turned to him, “The Battle Barge Bane of the Shadow King has one my Lord.” Discord thought about the name and closed his eyes.
‘Yeah that has to be Sombra figures he would be a Space Marine.’ Discord thought rolled his eyes. “Tell them to arm it,” Discord said before placing his Rosette down into it’s slot. He began recording as the small fleet moved into attack formation. Best that he explain his reasons for destroying one of the Emperor’s planet’s just incase he gets called out for it.
“My name is Inquisitor Dorcsid of The Emperor’s Holy Inquisition, Ordo Hereticus. The Ork uprising in the Coxit System has gotten out of hand. While the Governor had hid these Xenos away he had failed in his duty to destroy the Xenos and now Coxit IV is overrun. With not enough manpower to retake the planet and the threat of the Orks overrunning the system I hereby declare Coxit IV Doomed. The only course of action we have left is to deny the World and the system to the Xenos as such, by my Authority given to me by the Eternal Ruler of our Race, The God-Emperor of Mankind, I declare Exterminatus on Coxit IV.”
Discord watched as the Space Marine vessel dropped the payload and before his eyes the planet burned. Discord pulled out the Rosette and looked at it for a moment. “Tell the Bane of the Shadow King I would like to meet with there leader.” Discord said not moving his eyes off the symbol of office.
Umbra removed his sword from the last of the Ork corpses. After the storm collapsed it was only a matter of time before the Orks would be defeated. When word came about Coxit IV was destroyed the fight was solid within there favor. With a hard rip The Warbosses head was torn off his shoulders as the Primarch finally got the Warboss trophy he wanted, “My lord Inquisitor Dorcsid wishes to speak with you.” He heard over the vox.
The Shadow King was quick to decipher that the Inquisitor was Discord spelled backwards and with the O and R switched around, ‘So the Spirit of Chaos is here? Perhaps this is his doing.’ Sombra knew who Discord was or at least the Discord before his imprisonment. A eon old reality warping being who showed a terrible disconnection to the world around him.
Sombra wasn’t too surprised then that Discord would take on the role of an Inquisitor. “Very well I shall have a word with him ready my transport.” Sombra said over the vox and turned to Judas, “We have a Inquisitor to meet.”
“Do you know who and why they are calling for you my lord?” A few Inquisitors had been meet by them during there travels. Most were unfortunately died from accidental circumstances after meeting the Primarch. Judas gripped his sword in his hands.
“Oh yes I do and no we won’t be killing him,” Sombra said but spoke under his breath, “At least not until I know his goals.” Sombra knew that Discord could prove to be a powerful ally. After all if he was playing as an Inquisitor he could get away with a few loyalty questionable things. Of course with a being like Discord it was also within his best interest to have a way to put him down just incase. ‘Perhaps have someone watch him for me and I think I have the perfect idea how to do that.’ Sombra said to himself with a smile.
Nyx looked at the newest member of Discord’s reatue. The Junior Commissar was offered a placed within Discord’s little circle and expected almost immediately. Given Discord had attempted to hit on her Nyx wondered if Discord just did it because he fancied her. Nightmare Moon got up when she saw Discord pass by and hand to speak to him.
“Oh Nightmare Moon is it about your new coworker?” Discord asked her, “Look i don't need telepathy to know what you are going to ask I may or may not have had sexual relations with her ok.” Discord said trying to dodge the question.
“I wasn’t going to ask that but… what the fuck!” Nightmare Moon screamed at him, “Does she even know what you really look like or are you waiting until she has a child?” Nightmare Moon was a bit sickened by him.
“Oh please when I shapeshift I change my DNA to match the species I’m impersonating… actually your be surprised by how many children I fathered and mothered over the millennia.” Discord dismissed her concerns.
Ok that thought actually scared her. In fact the very idea that there was untold number of offspring of him scared her to no end, “How hasn’t our reality imploded yet?” She asked causing Discord to roll his eyes. Just because you expect something to happen with him that didn’t mean it would. In fact it seemed everyone forgot that he exists to make logic, sense, and predictions go out the window.
“Oh come on now I’m a being of Chaos you would think that every child I had would have a weaker version of my awesome, great, and gloriest powers? Not in the least in fact it's more common for them to be powerless then to have my abilities in any level.” Discord explained to her as they both walked down the empty hallways of the vessel. Any passerbies however didn’t hear the conversation as Discord had done a bit sound altering to keep it from being discovered.
“Wait so they don’t develop and of your abilities?”
“Oh no they can and in fact it is known that my abilities might pop up in later generations like the element of laughter might be my descendant given her strange abilities.” Discord said waving his hand, “Of course in order to awaken any abilities they might have would mean mental and physical trauma that pushes them to there limits and it’s not like any of them have gone through that right?”
Discord and Sombra started down each other sizing them up each up. While two of them readied for the other to make a move Nightmare Moon stood there wondering when the other would speak up. Unless of course Discord decided to speak to him telepathically. “So this makes you the fourth individual I dragged with me? What’s next is there a planet being attacked by the Wendigo?” Discord joked to himself.
“Fourth?” Sombra asked him.
“Yeah Nightmare Moon is standing right there and Chrysalis seemed to have disappeared along with her Changelings.” Discord explained. Discord decided to discreetly probe the mind of Sombra but right as he did he hit a wall. Seems Sombra had placed a few mental wards on his mind, ‘Smart move prevent others from seeing what you don’t want to see.’ Discord commented.
“Ok let’s cut to the chase alright, we both have our own plans while we are here while we could be opponents I would rather we allies,” Sombra said, Discord knew that it was more or less Sombra wanting to use him as a shield. Though Discord could easily use this himself. After all having allies to call on was something Discord knew one needed within such a galaxy.
“Very well Shadow King perhaps we should discuss this over some drinks?” Discord asked, “I believe I have some of that Space Wolf drink I might have “liberated” off some stupid guardsmen.” Discord was surprised that they had some of this drink. Seriously it kills normal humans and only Space Marine’s or Discord himself could drink it. He guess they had it as a suicide drink, “Come on Nightmare why don’t you join us?” Discord said to the possessed Sororitas.
“I guess just down turn this ship into a giant raft alright.” Nightmare Moon teased Discord.
“Oh Nightmare you don’t have to worry, I can’t get drunk… maybe.” Discord said slightly unsure about that.
Chrysalis walked back on the Hiveworld. She and her forces has escaped while no one was looking and was now looking over there latest upgrade to the former Craftworld a Warp Drive. “Here I thought your foolish attack on the Dark Eldar finally killed you.” Chrysalis gave a smile at the chained Inquisitor. He had broken free of her mind control through sheer willpower several times already.
The only reason he was still alive was because Chrysalis found him amusing almost like a pet, “Oh please we took a whole Craftworld I’m pretty sure you should have expected the outcome.” Chrysalis said with a smile.
“It matters not the Imperium will find you and whip your from the stars!” Chrysalis rolled her eyes at this. His words did had truth to them. There was no way she was willing to risk a Imperial warfleet. From what she learned they had destroyed a few Eldar Craftworlds already. Hell raiding the Black Ships was dangerous already.
“I know that, However I do not plan to simply stay around here and let them destroy us,” Chrysalis growed at him, “No I already planned for that and you are looking at the final part of that plan.” Chrysalis stated. Chrysalis looked up as the drones started to chirp. It seemed the Imperium Fleet at entered the system.
“What is going on?” The Inquisitor asked having no understanding the language of the changelings he had no idea the Imperium were here.
“Seems the Imperial Navy has found us,” Chrysalis said before turning to him, “It matters not everything is in place for us to get out of here.” Chrysalis turned to her Changelings, “Ready us for warp jump.” Chrysalis commanded her lings.
As the Imperial Fleet neared the massive vessel as it moved away from the Star and Planet gravity wields they watched as a massive gateway to the warp opened up. The miniature warp rift was closed as the Craftworld disappeared deep into the warp.
The Inquisitor watched as the Ship flew through the warp before turning to Chrysalis, “Does this ship have a Gellar Field?” While the idea of them dieing at the hands of the warp citizens was appealing the fact was that he would be eaten and if this feel into the ruinous powers hands things would be harder for the Imperium.
“We do not fear the daemons and no we don’t have Gellar Fields our Magic is just as useful and while we travel through the realm of emotion we can quickly refill our energies.” Chrysalis informed him.
“Then where are we going?”
Chrysalis had a smile, “Tell me Inquisitor how does the idea of harvesting warp storms and Daemon worlds sound?”
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. The Webway Misadventures Part 1
“Ok lets see that way is out, that whole corridor been destroyed and that leads to the vacuum of space now.” Discord said to himself checking off more and more of the map he had found from the Eldar Ruins. Discord was currently walking through the the maze like structure known as the Webway. “You know I don’t know whether to be impressed that a civilization could even build something as complex as this or disappointed that they couldn’t have made this to last.” Discord shook his head at the large amount of ruined, destroyed, and even sealed off corridors.
In all his eons of life Discord had seen a pattern played out with civilizations. The cycle of Empires as some call it. A civilization would rise up sep in it’s traditions wide eyed wanting to prove itself and sometimes even being deeply spiritual. On it’s march to the top it would step on untold number of weaklings and even the corpses of a former Empire long dead. However once they reach the top they always fall prey to the same trap over and over again.
“Such is the arrogance of mortals at the top of there kind there hubris makes them think they are the best that they know everything can overcome anything,” Discord mind flashed to dozens of others just like them thinking that they were now gods a smile came over Discord face as he recalled him forcing them to bow destroying there pride and there spirits, “Arrogance is the road to destruction the great cancer that kills even the mightiest of mortal empires and it seems that they haven’t learned that lesson.”
Discord continued his exploration of the winding mazes of the Webway. He admit that his first few tries to enter this place ended in him missing the mark instead entering into the warp. Of course when he did succeed into entering the Webway he soon discovered that he had no idea where to go. ‘You know I have the strangest feeling I should have a flashback of my misadventures within the Webway.’
Discord stopped and thought it over for a moment. “Why not.”
A rift was cut open into the Webway as Discord passed from realspace and into the winding maze of the ancient construct. “Finally after ten attempts I finally found the Webway!” Discord gave himself a fist pump. He then dropped his human disguise as it wasn’t needed within the Webway. “Alright let's see which way to go?” Discord said as he looked at the winding corridors and the multiple choices he had with each of them. “Let's see what’s behind hallway number four.”
Thousands sat within the massive cathedral dedicated to there Eternal God-Emperor of Mankind As the masses took there seats and the preacher spoke to them all a rift formed above them all causing pause among themselves. “Is that a sign from the Emperor?” One of the many who had appeared for today’s sermon asked.
The rift open and appearing out of it Discord came landing with a thud and causing everyone to jump at his appearance. ‘Oh great now I know why that gateway was ruined and closed.’ Discord thought to himself realizing where he was.
“It’s a monster!”
“By the Emperor!”
“What is that thing?”
Discord gave a smile it was just so tempting to mess with them.’Oh fuck it I might as well.’ Discord floated up and taking a page out of Luna’s book spook with the Royal Canterlot Voice. “TIMBRAL MORTALS AND DESPAIR FOR YOU EMPEROR CAN NOT SAVE YOU FROM ME!” Discord rose his arms up as the clouds turned violate lighting shot out from them striking the buildings and the ground.
Flames shot up blocking out the stain glass murals of the Imperial Saints which soon shattered and reformed into images of Discord the ground shock as cracks formed and soda started to boil out them. The building broke apart as it floated away the people holding on to there seats screaming for there Emperor.
Discord gave an evil laugh watching them struggle deciding to finally sell it he spoke again, ”BEHOLD THE POWERS OF CHAOS FOR I NOW CLAIM ALL YOUR SOULS!” With that Discord vanished having used his powers to reopen a rift into the Webway. Once had returned there he keep laughing his ass off. “Oh the look in there faces were so priceless… well is was only joking but they didn’t know that. The Inquisition going to kill them all over a prank.”
After he had finally settled down from his laughter Discord continued his aimless wandering of the Webway. As he did he came across big doors sealing off whole paths. Discord tried to bypass them by phasing though only to be forcefully tossed back as the door seemed changed its density the moment he did so. “Hmm must be something valuable well if I can't phase through the door I wonder.” Discord placed his talon on it and in a flash attempted to teleport behind the door. The moment he did he found out why the door was closed off. The Webway was breached and the warps entities were flooding through it.
Discord teleported back behind the door and into the safe parts of the Webway. ‘Ok giant sealed off doors are sealed for a reason it seems.’ Pretty soon Discord was getting annoyed by the labyrinthine creation. For one when he entered one of the big corridors that was most likely used for starships he got shot at by a Dark Eldar raiding party. After that little event he caused a breach within the tunnel leading to both him and the Dark Eldar to fight the invading daemons and other entities right before a bunch of Eldar wearing masks came to seal the tunnel off.
After escaping the tunnel leading the Dark Eldar to there fate he along with the mask wearing Eldar who followed him watched as some kinda burnin gateway was open before his eyes. That’s when Discord first meet the ancient undead robotic Xenos race called the Necrons. After watching the Eldar next to him literally get torn apart at near the atomic level Discord decided to run and leave the two ancient enemies to murder each other.
Finally he came across a Craftworld Eldar war host who called him a daemon and attempted to shot him to death. Discord will admit this. Eldar weapons hurt like Taratian fire. As they followed him they were soon ambushed from behind by the same Necrons from before.
“Ok why does anyone still use this! Half of the place is falling apart, whole tunnels are filled with those psionic entities and the rest of them is just a highway to death with sadistic raiders, stupid mask wearing space elves and killer undead robots!” Discord was seriously tempted to just destroy the Webway at this point. After turning the corner for another time he found himself floating over what looked liked a ruined and abandoned Eldar Webway port. “This better have something worth all my trouble if not I’m blasting apart these walls and letting in the warp.” Discord floated into the ruins
“And that was where I got this outdated but still useful map and some sweet Eldar weapons.” Discord said to literally no one as he was basically all by himself. Discord looked at the map and at the corridors he was in now. “Great I’m still lost what else could go wrong…” At that moment one of the direct portals next to him flared open as a voice rang out with a sense of triumph.
“At last I have done it! The Eldar thought they could keep me from there Webway but I will not be denied my prize!” Discord turned to see with nearly a dozen Rubric Marines guarding him one of the most Power Chaos Sorcerers in the Galaxy Ahriman the former Chief Librarian of the Thousand Sons traitor Legions. This was his third incursion into the Webway and this time he will not leave without succeeding in his goal.
Discord’s right eye twitched as he was trying to keep himself from blasting apart the tunnel he was in. He gave himself a face talon as he realized he had basically asked for this to happen, ‘Fuck you Murphy fuck you and your fat dead wife!’ Discord screamed within his mind.
