Draznazar

"You have to help me find a seer." I tell the filthy mon'keigh. If it was a normal situation I would kill him right now, but this isn't a normal situation. I have questions about the seer, I want to know who she is before I kill captain Kemuel. The captain is supposed to know the names of his crew members that's why I captured him.

"How do you know my name? You were the one who kicked me in the face and I recognise your voice. So I know that you know me?" Kemuel questioned.

"I've been hunting you down for a year. In that time I've gotten to know so much about you. Now tell me about the seer." I commanded. You really learn so much about a person within a year, you could say that Kemuel is my arch enemy.

"Why should I tell you. XENOS SCUM!!!" He mocks me, quite brave of the captain. But anyone with a brain should know not to fuck around with the Drukhari.

"You should tell me, so I can give you a merciful death." I lie. If he helps me by telling me everything he knows about the seer I'll keep him alive but in the end I'll make him a slave. If he doesn't I won't give him a death, but instead I'll feed of his suffering till he's nothing more than a soulless husk and I will enjoy seeing the captain suffer. "So do we have a deal captain?"

"Yes." said Kemuel.

"Ah good, you had me worried mon'keigh. I thought I'd have to torture you hahaha." I laugh. "You know what a seer is yes?" The captain shakes his head, is that fear I sense?

"The Aeldari call them seers but your people call the psykers." Now he understands "I only know a few types of seers. There's Farseer, Spiritseer, Shadowseer and warlock. The one I'm searching for is just a regular seer but she is very powerful." I explain. "To give you an idea of how powerful she is, she turned three kabalite warriors into nothing but dust."

"So she's that powerful."

"Yes but she might be even more powerful. Now that you know what I'm talking about, what's her name?"

"Sara. Sara hart." He responded with the full name. He must know the seer personally. Not many mon'keigh know the names of the common soldier so it comes as a surprise. But it doesn't make sense, how does he know the name of the seer?

"How did you know her name?" I questioned.

"I've met her a couple of times before on my ship, I never knew she was a psyker until my right hand woman Ilrariel told me she sensed an unknown psyker on my ship. We searched the ship day and night until finally found her. When we found her she ran away from us but Ilrariel tackled her to the ground. She was afraid that we might turn her to the inquisition or turn her into a semi sentient servitor. well I was going to turn her in to the inquisition but Ilrariel convinced me not to. I don't know why but I trust her either way. Even though we didn't turn her in, I still kept an eye on her. Plus only the people I trust knew about her, not even the skitarii knew about her."

Cute story, I doubt half of that was true. Either way I got more information about the seer. "But that doesn't matter know. Your soldiers probably killed her when you invaded my ship." Kemuel stated.

"That's not what my scouts say." I tell him. He looks shocked did he really care for the seer? "Kemuel what you've been telling me is lies, you know more about her don't you? What makes her more special than the other seers in your retched empire?" He didn't answer. "Foolish mon'keigh. I'm going to enjoy making you suffer."

"I won't break, I'll tell you nothing!"

"Oh, but they all say that at first." I smile menacingly. Let the pain begin.


Name: SR-38
Location: Equestria
Mission: Get back to mars

I never thought I'd say this but I'm in a hollowed out tree. Which also has lots of books in kind of ironic actually, they probably hollowed out the tree to make the books. I'm surprised that this tree isn't rotting away like flesh. In this tree I'm with Sara but theirs eight horses in with us as well. This includes the two princesses and the six xeno we met in the forest. But I'm starting to get annoyed.

"Oh my goodness I'm meeting a real alien! Oh I have so many questions!" The purple one has been acting like this for over half an hour now. This includes the pink one, but she won't shut up about this... party thing. Whatever that is sounds either stupid or a waste of time.

"Hey how old are you? What's your favourite flavour of ice cream? Do you like toasters?" Pinkie Pie asked. This toaster sounds interesting perhaps I should take one to study.

"If you two would please calm down I'll answer everybody's questions" I order. While the purple one calmed down, Pinkie Pie didn't she tries to hold down her excitement but she's still hopping up and down. "Now before I answer all of your questions I would like to know your names. I already know the Pink one and the two royals."

"Well my name is Twilight sparkle." She told me "The one with the rainbow mane is Rainbow dash; the shy one is Fluttershy; The one with the hat is Applejack and the white unicorn is Rarity." What is it with these xeno and weird names? "My first question is what's your name? Because I kinda forgot." Why is it so easy for these xeno to forget my number name?

"My name is SR-37." I answer. The equine look at me with confusion.

"SR-37? What kinda name is that?" questioned Applejack

"It's my number name. I'm named this way so the tech priests can easily recognise us." I explain

"Well ah think you need a new name. One that we'll remember"

"I agree with Applejack. Your name is hard to remember." Sara pointed out. I guess it would be easier for the xenos to give me a new name instead of my number name. "How about we call you Alpha."

"No I don't like being called by my military rank." I tell the guardsman

"Well I'm calling you that just because it annoys you." This bitch isn't going to let the name go is she? "Anyway now that we got that sorted out anyone got any questions?"

"my second question is what planet you're from?" asked Ms Sparkle

"I'm from the red planet called Mars also known as the first forge world. It's where the weapons of the Imperium are made and is where I was born."

"I'm from a hive world called Aralan." said Sara. So she came from a hive world, at least I know where she lived now.

"I have a question are you evil?" questioned Ms Dash. She doesn't believe that I'm good stupid equine.

"No we're both good."

"Are you sure, because you have metal limbs and a horrible face." Rainbow pointed out Well to be fair if I was a xeno I would be intimidated by the masks of the Skitarii rangers too.

"First of this isn't my face it is a mask. Second Just because I have metal limbs, doesn't mean I'm out to kill you." I explain to Ms Dash. Well she seems to be a little pissed off, it's as if she wanted me to be one hundred percent evil. The only creatures in the universe that are that evil are the chaos gods and we all know what they're like. especially the flesh lord. "So please don't call me evil just because I look evil. It makes you look like a racist." saying that out loud makes me sound like a hypocrite, but like I said I don't hate xenos I just question them, the only ones I hate so far are the Dark Eldar. And when I said that the Ms Dash she calmed down a little, but I suspect she still hates me because of the way I look.

"May we see your face?" asked princess Luna. Why would I reveal my face to these xeno it would make me look weak in front of them, besides I'm sure they'll blow it up as soon as they see it.

"No." I answer simply. Then everyone went silent, I guess they weren't expecting me to talk back to the so called princess of the night. Well I can now enjoy this moment of peace and quite.

...

Well this is just awkward now, I'm not used to it being so quiet, ever. "Darling you mentioned you were from the planet mars, whats it like?" asked Rarity as she decides to break the silence.

"Life on mars is not easy. It's loud, filthy and people who still have their flesh are suffering every day, but it's my home and I like it there. But if you do anything wrong you'll turn into a servitor." I replied. The only thing I hate about the red planet are the people who still have flesh. The second thing I hate is the inquisition but I won't say that to their faces. "And being a servitor is one of the worst punishments the imperium has to offer."

"Darling your planet sounds like Tartarus!" cried Rarity as she faints dramatically.

"Yeah but that's just your average Wednesday." Sara explained. To be fair It is kind of average compared to Terra and planets that the inquisition control.

"Average! but you said your kind is suffering every day." Rarity pointed out.

"Yeah but were used to it."

"H-How can you be used to something that sounds so um scary?" questioned Fluttershy

"Think of it this way, It's better than nothing and we are grateful for what we have. Sure life could be better, but this is the grim darkness of the future and there is only war." I replied.

"Hmm tell me what are you raging war against?" asked princess Celestia

"Pretty much any thing that wants to kill us. There's Eldar, Dark Eldar, Orks, Tau, Necrons, you name it." Sara listed. well there's more than that. She's forgetting the Dark Mechanicus. They're like the Adeptus Mechanicus but they work for chaos. Oh that reminds me she forgot about chaos

"Don't forget chaos." I added

"Right and chaos." Wait chaos is a secret so the imperial citizens wouldn't join chaos. Shit. I'm gonna get killed if the inquisition find out.

"Wait you guys fight chaos?!" yelled Ms Dash. "We just recently fought Discord the lord chaos!" They fight chaos too? Wow I think we're already allies in this endless war.

"Yes we do but I'll explain another time." I tell them politely. So they killed a chaos god, I never heard of this 'Discord' but it's either a forgotten chaos god or it's a daemon that thinks it's a god. Either way they killed one so that's good.

"Well ah think everyone in this room wants to know, how ya lost your limbs?" Ms Applejack wants to know more about me. I can't answer every question they have, there are two humans in this room yet they ask me all the time and I'd rather explore the town than answer more questions for the equine. But I guess I can answer one more question for them then I can ask them some questions while I explore the town. "Did ya loose them in an accident?"

"No they were removed. The tech priests removed them, they were the first augmentations I ever had and they weren't the last." I explain. The equine look shocked when I told them that.

"But why would they do that to ya?"

"I wanted them to be removed. It's our culture."

"But why?" same question every time, is she a broken record?

"Because once I understood the weakness of my flesh... it disgusted me." I tell them "I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine." They look confused "Your kind cling to your flesh, as if it would not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg for my kind to save you... But I'm already saved, for the machine is immortal." I think that was too much because they look even more scared of me, even Sara looks scared of me. But I need to convince them that their flesh is weak so they will join the Adeptus Mechanicus.

All well I stand up and walk towards the door, but before I exit, I need to finish the speech "Even if I die I'll still serve the Omnissiah." I then leave. I think I scared the shit out of them. I'll give them time to think about what I said while I explore the town.


Sara Hart

"... OH HOLY TERRA THAT WAS SO SCARY!!!" I yell. I'm not the only one who thought that was scary, the six xeno we met in the forest look scared as well. The only ones that aren't scared are the two princesses. The two royals look like they've heard something slimier to what he just said but still why the fuck would he say something like that.

"Ah wouldn't say that was scary, I'd say that was dark!" said Applejack. Well she still looks surprised.

"So he is evil." Rainbow Dash thought.

"No no he's not evil. He's just doesn't think of any ones emotions he just assumes what you're feeling" I explain. It's true, he doesn't think of any ones emotions, he didn't care that I was upset when he killed the lion cubs. "Besides he saved my life once. So I know he's not evil."

"Even so, We just can't let him wonder around Ponyville, he'll probably scare everypony due to the way he looks." Twilight pointed out. "Plus the village guard will probably either kill him or arrest him on sight." So it's basically like how we treat the xenos then.

"I'll go after him." I tell them.

I head towards the door when I heard Celestia say "No." I turn around to face her she looks like she wants to talk to me. "Twilight and her friends will bring him back here, by force if necessary." She really doesn't trust me or Alpha does she. "Me and my sister would like to talk to you in private."

Twilight comes up to me. "Don't worry Sara, we won't hurt your friend." She reassures me. I'm not worried about him getting hurt, I'm worried about them. She then leaves the library with all of her friends, only Princess Celestia and Luna stay with me. I go towards a chair and sit down on it, it's small but I have to get comfortable because I have a feeling their going to talk to me for a while. Their expressions on the face turn more serious, not angry or upset just serious.

"So what is it you want to talk to me about?" I ask

"We know what you are Sara Hart, there's no use in hiding it." Luna told me. I'm shocked, they know what I am they know I'm a psyker.

"How long have you known."

"Ever since we saw you we had a suspicion that you were a magic user." Celestia explains. They call it magic here, interesting. Not only I could feel their energy but they could feel mine. I should've hid my ability on this planet. "And your magic level seems to be almost as powerful as my student Twilight sparkle, You are a gamma+ magic user."

"And we believe that your intentions are not pure as you say." Luna says. "I've been in your dream Sara Hart, and it's all about your 'Imperium'. You are a threat to Equestria because of the way you treat other species like the Eldar in your dream." She's so powerful she can go through peoples dreams.

"But I'm not like that to the Eldar, in fact I'd rather not kill an Eldar but kill a T'au soldier. In melee combat. " I explain to the two sisters I hope they understand.

"That's not a good excuse to kill thousands of alien races. Just because your Emperor demands it. I don't believe that he wants to kill every last species in the universe." Celestia points out. I don't believe me or Alpha mentioned the Emperor of mankind at all. I'm a psyker, so I'm going to sneak into Celestia's mind to see how she knows the name of the Emperor.

And what I find is shocking to be honest. "Listen Sara we won't hurt you if you don't hurt us, So please don't start another war in the galaxy."

"Fine but please keep it a secret."

"Why should we?"

"Because if you tell everyone, I'll tell everyone else your secret... Primarchs." Told you it was shocking. Celestias jaw dropped as soon as I said that. But Luna looked very confused.

"Sister what is she talking about?" Questioned Luna. How come she doesn't know? She is the daughter of the Emperor after all.

"Luna why don't you um go back to the castle? I'll be back with you with in an hour or two." Celestia doesn't want her sister in this conversation any more, there must be a good reason why.

"Why?"

"Because this has now turned into a private conversation Luna. Don't worry sister I wont be too long." Celestia reassures her sister. Luna then leaves the library, leaving me and Celestia alone.

"Celstia you and your sister are the two missing primarchs. Why did you disappear?" I questioned

"Well I'll give you one reason. Look at me I'm basically a horse for goodness sake! While the other eighteen of my brothers look human me and my sister were basically the leftover shit of our farther's DNA. Me and my sister are weaker physically but our psychic ability's are almost as strong as our brother Magnus we're only second to him." Whos Magnus? Are their more primarchs? Because I only know ten, twelve if you count Celestia and Luna. Their are nine loyal primarchs and one traitor primarch called Horus. But that might be propaganda to tell people that there were only ten primarchs. So if Celestia and Luna are primarchs then maybe theirs more.

"Well that explains why your a horse. Your basically one hundred percent a genetic flaw" I didn't mean to insult but it's true. She and her sister are basically the opposite of the Primarchs, they don't look human, they're female and they're physically weaker. But they make up for it with their psychic power, It is very strong but I also think she was exaggerating when she said that she is weak I think she is just as strong as a primaris space marine. She probably was bullied by her brothers due to her genetic flaws.

"Normally if I was in the imperium right now, I would kill you where you stand but yes you're right. And I hate it. Before I met my farther I thought I was the strongest warrior on my planet, but when my farther showed up I lost my honour that day. Every time I fight one of my brothers I loose every single time!"

"What about your sister?"

"She had the worst of it. Because back then she was always angry, like Leman Russ or Konrad Curze. But it wasn't all bad, we both had our own armies, I had the second legion called the Solar Storms and Luna had the eleventh legion called the Night Guard. And boy were they loyal to the end. But eventually the endless war drove Luna mad. I asked farther to let us leave the imperium so I can look after her. Eventual we came back to our home planet Equis and that's basically all I'm telling you for now." So the planet is called Equis, suits it. also who the heck is Konrad crurze? He's probably another primarch I don't know about.

"So basically you and your sister had it bad." I pointed out. After hearing this for myself I feel bad. She isn't a xeno just a mutated human. "but two thing I don't understand about your story, If you are a mutated human how come you didn't understand us when we first met? And how come luna doesn't remember the imperium?"

"When Luna succumbed to her madness and became the traitor primarch Nightmare moon, She immediately forgot her past life as a Primarch. After Twilight and her friends turned her back to normal I wanted to bring her memory back. But I was worried that she would turn into Nightmare moon again so I never told her. And as for the language I just made eveypony in equestria know your language without them realising, but that meant going into your heads and giving you a massive headache that would last a couple of days." Wow what a (whats the word for it oh yeah the ancient word) TROLL!

"My lord I promise I'll keep your secret." I tell Celestia.

"Um it's actually 'your highness' not 'my lord' but I'm glad you won't tell anypony."

After the talk one of the guards came bursting in like he was running from something. "Your highness! There's been murder!" He yells. Great just great, Alpha you better not have done this or I'll swear to the golden throne I'll kill you!


Drazanzar

I've been torturing Kemuel for five hours now and he still hasn't broken at all. I'm patient, I can do this all week if I want to but I don't have all week. I need the information about the seer now.

"Come on captain tell me the truth. What do you know about the seer?" I ask politely as I cut his chest slightly. It's not very deep cut but it will hurt him, after five hours he has scars all around his body now. And there all bleeding.

"Her name is SARA HART!" He's been saying that every time I ask him It's just as annoying as the green skins. I slap him very hard with my right hand, It was so hard I can see a bruise forming. Just as I was about to ask again one of my soldiers came to me "Drazanzar the scout team has engaged with the inhabitants of the planet." She informs me.

"I thought I told the wyches to not engage!" I shout now we don't have time any more I need to get the information fast. "PREPARE THE TORTURE SONG!" I yell.

"What are you going to do xenos dance? haha" The captain said. I go up to him and put a hook on each of his eyelids to force his eyes open, and I answer "yes".

Two of my men bring me an piece of ancient mon'keigh technology, they call it a ray-dio. It plays music from the ancient times of the mon'keigh civilisation. But I'm not going to play good music I'm going to play this. I'll tell you what happens later but right now this guy is going straight into the warp.


Author's Note

is that a JOJO reference :pinkiegasp:

Yeah I had an idea that princess Celestia and Luna are the two missing Primarchs.
Don't go hating on me yet because this gives me the idea to make a spin off mini series about the two alicorns being primarchs.
