Chapters Name: SR-37
I am a Ranger nothing more nothing less. Most of my organic parts have been replaced with metal this includes my arms, my legs, my face and most of my internal organs. Yet I am still human, but each time I remove my flesh I come ever closer to The Omnissiah. I'm no longer weak, I no longer suffer from disease nor do I ever get tired. We are the peak of human evolution.
Our mission was to go to any planets with life on them and steal their technology so we can study it, my job is to protect the research team sounds easy right, no it isn't. We barely have any technology because when we get weapons or technology from planets with xeno's on it, it become's impossible to analyse them. I really wish it becomes easier in the future.
I Pull up my hood from my red coat and I head straight to the captain of this ship. The captain is a Rouge trader and he has agreed to assist us on our search for technology, he has served us well on our mission. The captains name is Kemuel he's around fifty years old; has a average body frame; he wears cloths that make him look like a pirate, even though he wears the typical Rouge trader coat; he's bold but he has a large beard and has green eyes.
As I make my way through the ancient halls of the dreadnought, I bump into a guardsman or guards-woman to be accurate. She wears the standard uniform of any guardsman a dark green body armour; green helmet; trousers with big boots and she is also carrying a standard lasgun. Her face has blue eyes and from what I can tell brown hair but I can't see most of it under that helmet. "Hey watch where you're going!" She shouted.
"Technically I did look where I was going guardsman." I say to her my raspy robotic voice. "I always look where I am going, but you weren't!" I pointed out. "Maybe I should ask the tech priest to replace your eyes with machinery so you could see better!" I threatened.
"W-Wait their's no need for that ranger, I'll be careful next time I'm sorry." she apologised. This is very typical for guardsmen they act tough but in reality they are scared shitless. I can't blame them for acting this way, they have it tough because they are on the front lines in Every. Single. Battle. They have to act tough, but she is just a new recruit and since she on a rouge trader dreadnought I doubt she has seen much action.
"... Don't talk back to me again." I tell her and I continue to walk towards the captains bridge. After that particular incident I didn't run into any more trouble, apart from the odd patrol down the hallways nothing else happened. After 1.7 miles of walking down this battleship I finally make it to the bridge, luckily Skitarii don't tire out.
Once the cold metallic doors of the bridge open I am greeted by a ragtag group of Rouge traders this includes the captain sleeping on his chair; an Eldar woman named Ilrariel; a couple of Skitarii scientists and a space marine from the salamanders with out his helmet on. With out his helmet he reveal's his pitch black skin and red eyes, I never got his name. The Eldar woman approached me and asked "Why are you here mon'keigh? The bridge is restricted to other crew members, so state your business."
"Still using that insult Eldar?" I questioned her. I never hated the Eldar just questioned them, because if they hate us why do some of them work with us? That is just one of the questions I wanted to ask them, but I don't think they'll take too kindly too my questions. "Your captain summoned me, didn't he tell you?" I continued.
"He doesn't tell me anything these days." Ilrariel sighed. She walked over to Kemuel and woke him up. "Captain someone is here is to see you." The Eldar informed the captain. After waking up Kemuel, he got up from his chair and walked up to me.
"An alpha? I was expecting your Tech priest." The captain explained. One thing I don't like mentioning about my self is that I'm an alpha, I'm in charge of my own squad but no one wants to even know me because of that. And so I prefer my number name than my rank, it is also the reason why I prefer a Galvanic rifle but I still have an arc maul.
"The name is SR-37 sir. The Tech priest is very busy at the moment, so he sent me." I replied "I can deliver a message for him if you like."
"Of course he sent you, he's always busy. I want you to tell him that after one more planet i'm taking you back to mars." He tells me. The priest is not going to be happy about this, we barely found any old tech from the dark age of technology, this is annoying.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because you lot have been on my ship for nearly five years now and you barely found anything!" He yelled "Sorry I needed to get that out of my system. I have no problem with you or your kind but I'm really tired of you going on random planets to find nothing but enemies, not to mention that your tech priest refuses to speak to me and sends one of his soldiers in his place! like it or not we are going home."
"I understand, I'll deliver the message" I say before I head towards the metal door. Before I left the bridge I heard from one of the Skitarii scientists. "Sir, an unknown vessel just exited the warp!"
"what?" questioned Kemuel as he looked towards the front window of the dreadnought. However it wasn't the warp it was the webway it's completely different because there is no daemons coming out of it, that ship has been chasing us for weeks now it's the Dark Eldar. I don't know how they found us but I have to prepare for battle, we all do.
"The ship seems to be a Void stalker sir!" A void stalker is primarily an Eldar ship but this one has spikes coming out of the sides and front, it's also a very dark purple. The Eldar ship rammed into us causing a lot of damage to our ship, all crew members staggered and fell down on the ground including me.
Not long after we fell down to the ground I get back on my feet, I then see that there's around six Dark Eldar board the ship. They wear armour that is coloured with incubi darkness and has bronze armour parts on their one of their knees. Their helmets eyes glow with a horrifying green, it almost looks demonic. One of the Eldar is carrying a power sword, he must be the squads commander.
The space marine gets up and immediately and goes to attack the invaders. But the leader slices his head off without even looking, he should've worn his helmet. "Captain Kemuel you are coming with us." said the leader as he ordered his men to grab him. They must know him because the Eldar said his name. What did Kemuel do? Kemuel resisted but was immediately punched in the stomach and kicked in the face. They grab him again, but this time he is being dragged on his feet and he's bleeding from the mouth.
"Resistance if futile mon'keigh. Take care of the rest." He ordered his men as he gets back onto his ship. There is now three Eldar on the bridge four if you include Ilrariel. I holstered my rifle, I aim and I fired at the enemy. I killed one straight away but the other two started fire back. I dodge their attacks and move close to hit them with my arc maul, I hit one and smashed her helmet into pieces but I was hit in the back of the head by the other one. The other Eldar, she hit me with her weapon. In was still conscious however my combat inhibitor is not working, so now I can't aim straight.
Before the last two Eldar can finish me off Ilrariel shot both of them in the head, the one without the helmet went down with ease but the other one, she had to be shot twice because her helmet was still intact. I guess flesh is weak no matter what species you are.
"Come on mon'keigh, we need to get of this ship!" Ilrariel commanded. I follow her orders and get up. I then attempted to reset my combat inhibitor, but this means all my combat data will have to be wiped and I have to start my basic training again. I reset it very quickly, but this message came in front of my eyes.
Basic training/ 0% complete
This will probably take a while. "Ilrariel the captain he's-" Before I could finish my sentence Ilrariel interrupted me. "I know but right now we need to get of this ship before the lesser half of my species captures us. lets move out." She exited the bridge and I followed. This completes task one of basic training.
Basic training/12% complete
Luckily there are Dark Eldar on this ship that I can target to complete the shooting phase. The xeno scum are taking prisoners so they can torture them for their sexual desires. We ran down the hall way for two minutes before running into a couple of Eldar, dragging two guardsman away. "You two will be wonderful pets, we will have so much fun together." said one of the xeno while he drags the guardsman by his hair as he screams "No No Nooo!"
I aim my weapon and fired at the Eldar with the screaming guardsman, I kill the xeno but the other one got away with a guardsman. Ilrariel walked up to the guardsman and helped him up. "Guardsman come with us if you want to live." she ordered the guardsman.
"T-Thank you sir." Thanked the guardsman. He now helps us in our escape, he may not survive for very long since the imperial soldiers on this ship haven't seen much combat. It took me a while to notice but I completed task two of my basic training.
Basic training/100%
After three hours I completed basic training. It was very annoying to go through all that again, especially the upgrade phase because all my combat data upgrades have been lost, so I can't do any advanced fighting even if I wanted to. The good news is that are at the launch bay and have found a Thunderhawk gunship, it is green because its pilot was a Salamander but I would prefer it to be red. Bad news is during our escape the guardsman who we rescued died and Ilrariel got shot in the stomach. She clinging on to life. Even worse news is their are more Dark Eldar coming after us, I hope that we can get out of here in time.
I then saw one of the filthy xeno chasing a guardsman normally I wouldn't care but that guardsman, she looked familier. I looked closer and found that she is the same guardsman who bumped into me earlier today. So feeling bad for her I aimed and I fired at the the filthy xeno that want's to take her for its sexual desires. I shot at it so many times because I have a dying Eldar in my arms, so it's harder for me to aim at the bloody thing.
After finally killing the xeno I waved my right metal arm that's holding my rifle, to signal her over here. Once she came over to me I immediately ask her. "Guardsman, what is your medical knowledge?"
"I-I only know how to heal flesh wounds, but I've never done anything like this. Plus Eldar are biologically different from us, I'm sorry there's nothing I can do ranger." She informed me. This is really bad because I have no Idea how to repair flesh without any cybernetics, she is bleeding out and their is nothing I can do.
"Mon'keigh!" Ilrariel cried gasping for breath. "You have to leave me... We both know that... I'm not going to make it... You need to leave and get help *COUGH* *COUGH*." I look into her eyes and see sadness and fear, as part machine I can feel these emotions but I don't understand them. "Alpha... That's an order, now full fill that order......." Ilrariel is now dead.
The guardsman cries but I don't, I stand up open the hanger doors and get into the gunship. I also have the guardsman with me as my companion for the time being. "If were going to be together, I need to know your name. So what is?" it I ask her as she wipes the tears from her disgusting flesh.
"It's Sara sir. Whats yours?" she asked me
"My name is SR-37" I answered as I pilot the gunship. As with any machine the gunship needs to be taken with care as would you do with your own child. It needs to be treated with respect like you would do to an elderly person. It's our way of taking care of the machine.
And so I pilot it to a nearby planet, but it's very wrong. The sun and the moon orbit the planet.
Ponyville/Nightmare night
"Nightmare night! What a fright! Give me something good to bite!" sing the children in Ponyville as they enjoy their holiday Nightmare night. The little village has been decorated for this occasion and everypony is having fun, even Luna is enjoying the the night of fun though she was acting a bit mean at the start everything turned alright in the end.
The bad news is that Nightmare night has just ended, all the ponies are now putting away the decorations for the next Nightmare night but everypony is tired so they are leaving it til morning to put away the decorations. Twilight sparkle heading back to the golden oaks library to put away her costume and to get to bed. But she to write a friendship report to princess Celestia about her sister, Luna.
Once inside she puts away her starswirl the bearded costume (Her number one hero) and heads straight to her desk to write the report.
The gunship landed in the Everfree forest.
"What the heck was that?!" shouted a very tired Twilight Sparkle. She was just about to write a letter to the princess when she heard a strange noise, coming from outside. Twilight looked down at the scroll to see that it's covered in ink, now she is grumpy. She grabs another scroll with her magic and writes the report, again.
"Twilight what wrong?" yawned Spike as struggled to get his tired legs down the stairs.
Twilight turned around only to see a very tired baby dragon. It seems that the mysterious noise has woken up the little dragon. "Oh it's nothing Spike, just go back to bed and get some sleep." Twilight assured spike. Twilight didn't want her number one assistant to worry about a mysterious noise coming from no where, plus he needed to get some sleep after a long night.
Spike can't be bothered to deal with Twilight right now, so without saying a word he went back to bed. Once Spike got back upstairs Twilight continued writing the friendship report. As she writes Twilight began to wonder what was that sound. Although Twilight is too tired to investigate, she will deal with it in the morning. She finished the report and left it on her desk, so she can remember it. Twilight went straight on her comfy bed and began to sleep.
Name: SR-37
It's night on this planet and I'm on my knees, praying to the Machine God for forgiveness. It's not unusual for Skitarii to pray for forgiveness, we pray several times a day. I'm praying because I've abandoned my brothers to the filthy xeno, while I escape with my life. I hold my necklace with a small gear on it whilst I pray. My only hope is that the Omnissiah will forgive me for my actions, so I can get revenge.
After exactly one hour I finish my prayers and I head down the stairs to check on Sara. For a guardsman she isn't handling the loss very well. As soon as I'm down stairs I see Sara sitting down on one of the chairs eating her rations and looking upset. The ration is a small block that is full of nutrients. I come up to her and I decide to talk to her "Sara, how do you feel?" I asked her.
"Well all my friends are either captured or killed. So yeah I'm fine." she says sarcastically as she continues to eat her rations. It was a stupid question with an obvious answer, so I understand how she feels. "What are we going to do? we have no imperium, no support, nothing. We are on our own, on a planet with who knows what."
"I understand your concern guardsman. So I will do patrols around the gunship tonight." I declared as I holstered my rifle. I don't have much ammo left, I only have around thirty bullets. I'm gonna have to check this ship for any spare ammo when I'm done with patrols.
"Wait, 38. I think I should go and do patrols." Sara insisted as she stood up and grabbed her lasgun. She won't last the night, she is tired and weak but I'm not.
"No. You had a long day and you need your rest, we have a long day tomorrow." I tell Sara as I start walking to the exit. "Before I leave you here can you tell me where you got your rations?" I ask her. Sara then dropped her lasgun and got her rations out of her side pouch. She had a handful of those rations, but I only needed one of them. Sara then walked up to me and gave me her rations.
"I only needed one of them." I tell her as I gave back the rest of her food except one for me. I then begin to exit the gunship before Sara yelled. "Stay safe!" As The large metal door of the thunderhawk opened I walked towards this mysterious forest. As soon as my metal feet touch the grass the gunship door closed behind me.
Half an hour later
It has been half an hour and so far it has been peaceful. The darkness of the forest can look demonic at times, I swear the trees have faces, it's unsettling. sometimes I hear a sound in the forest like tree branches crunching or wolves howling and wind rustling the leaves. This forest seems evil.
I eventually get used to the darkness of the forest, yet I'm still on high alert. I grab the ration the guardsman gave me out of my red coat and take of my mask. Most humans believe that my mask is apart of may face but that's not true. How else am I going to eat if the mask is apart of my face. I take a bite of the ration, it's tasteless but then again I can't taste anything. I can't taste food or water but it matters not to me. The only thing that matters is that I let my body process the food.
After I finish eating I put my mask back on I hear growling. It sounds monstrous and hungry. I turn around and see a creature that I've never seen before. It has the body of a lion, it has a massive wing span and a scorpions tail. And I have no idea what this creature is. It looks really hungry, and i'm its dinner. Its seems so hesitant to even go near me, maybe it's because it has never seen a creature like me or its just planning to strike.
I'm not taking any chances so I point my weapon at the creature and fire. I was aiming for the head but the creature moved to the left and the bullet hit a tree. The creature then pounced at me but before it hit the ground I shot it in the chest, twice. The creature crashed onto the ground and roared in pain, I then put it out of its misery.
The creature's blood was allover the ground, this includes it's brains. The body seems to be female, even though it has a mane. After examining the creatures corpse I turn around and find two more mutated lions. I reloaded my rifle and fired one bullet for each lion. I missed one but I killed the other with a head shot, the creatures brains went all over the trees.
The last lion I have to deal with looks bigger than the others. It has scars allover its body, It has horns on its head and its mane is coloured black. I suspect that it's an alpha male and quite possibly the most dangerous of the mutated lions.The alpha mutant charged straight towards me. The alpha pinned me to the ground and roared in my face, but I didn't even flinch. Unexpectedly the guardsman came to my rescue, she fired her lasgun and lasers beams sprayed all over the alpha. The alpha staggered and its still alive but he got of me, this gave me chance to get back on my feet. I grabbed my rifle and fired the whole cartridge but It didn't kill the lion, I suspect that all the scars on its body made its hide a lot tougher. Not wanting to waste more ammo I dropped my galvanic rifle, and holstered my arc maul in my right hand. I powered up my melee weapon and blue and white electricity came out of it.
I charged towards the mutant alpha and hit it in the head with my weapon. Normaly any arc related weapons can fry a mans brain but it only made the creatures head bleed. Is its hide so tough that not even electricity can affect it or is it naturally resistant? The alpha attacked me using it's claws but I blocked its attack. Even though I blocked its massive paw my left arm is now malfunctioning, it's a good job I can't feel pain. I hit the alpha again, but this time I hit him alot harder. I did an upper cut using my weapon, it smashed the creatures jaw. The alpha is suffering in pain after losing its jaw, I hit it again and this time it killed the alpha, I think its eye went out of its socket. If the creature is still alive it would be paralysed, never the less I still won the battle.
I examine the alpha and it's a male. A darker mane means it's male and a red mane means it's female. It's different from the lions back on Terra. I turned to face the guardsman. "What are you doing out here guardsman? I thought I told you to get some rest?" I questioned Sara as I walked towards her.
"I heard gunshots and I thought you needed help, so I came out to slay whatever creature was disturbing you." explained Sara
To be honest without her I would've been killed by the mutated lion. Perhaps she can be of some use, because if an alpha came to attack me then that means I'm in its territory. "Sara I may need your help. I want you to help me find a cave of these lions."
"Why?" she asked as went to grab my galvanic rifle. I then turned towards her and answered "To slay the rest of these creatures."
10 minutes later
After searching around the area of the gunship we found a small cave. Me went inside of this excuse of a lions den and found nothing. There wasn't any of these creatures in this cave, just bones, carcasses and other rotting flesh. It took me and Sara exactly two minutes searching till we found five small lion cubs.
By the looks of them they're less than a month old. They haven't even started to grow there manes, their tails are really small this includes their wings as well. Sara looked at them in aww. "Oh my Emperor they're so cute! Hey SR, come have a-" She turned around only to see me holding my arc maul really tight, that's when she realised what I'm about to do.
"No. You wouldn't dare." she said in anger in anger.
"Guardsman it's only logical" I stated
"LOGICAL!!! IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL IT!!!"
"Sara calm down. If I don't do it now, they won't survive without their mothers"
"Well why don't we just take them in?!"
"Because they won't except you as their mother and when they grow up they will most likely kill you. Besides what are you gonna feed them? Rations? Their diet is different. So believe me when I say, "it is logical"
"..."
"Guardsman. If it makes you feel better, consider it mercy."
With hesitation Sara walked away from the mutant cubs and came up to me with tears in her eyes "My friends were right about you and your kind. You're all heartless bastards!" Sara stated. And with that she exited the cave crying. I walked towards the mutant cubs with arc maul in hand. I kneel down to face them, they look so innocent and scared at the same time. Its as if they understand what I'm about to do. "I'm sorry little ones." I apologised as I raised my right arm with arc maul in hand. And slay the baby lions.
Back at the gunship
I returned to the gunship to find Sara asleep. With the evidence of tears down her face, I can that she cried herself to sleep. Now knowing that Sara is asleep I took the liberty to search for any spare ammo on the ship. I didn't find anything except bolter ammo and they're no use for us. Sara is right we have nothing to support us, we are going to die on this planet. I prey to the Omnissiah that there's hope.
Now that I searched the gunship I can start repairing my damaged arm. Skitarii rangers are taught basic repairs in case we get our arms blown up or something. The alpha disconnected the mechanics in my left arm so I can barely move my fingers. Luckily this has happened before on the battlefield, so I know what to do. I removed my left arm and I start the repairs.
The joints that move my fingers are pistons I just pull them back together and weld them. After twenty minutes of welding I test to see if my arm will move. The good news is it works now; the bad news is I still have the claw marks on my left arm and it's a good job that the marks aren't deep or it would've done more damage.
I took me time to notice but I can now upgrade my combat data. I decided it was time for an upgrade so using my mind the upgrade tree appeared in my eyes. I wanted to upgrade hand to hand combat so went there and I now I know how to do basic martial arts . If I keep upgrading I will complete the whole tree in about fifteen years, the tree is really big.
I hope we find intelligent life on this planet because I don't think we'll survive for long.
Ponyville outside golden oaks library
Twilight Sparkle just left the golden oaks library and is ready to start the day. Today she is going to help put away the decorations from nightmare night. Everypony in town is helping out even Rarity. Twilight started trotting down the streets when suddenly Rainbow crashed straight into her. Of course the crash was accidentel.
"Rainbow why did you crash into me?!" asked Twilight in a disappointed tone.
Rainbows Dash is a the cyan Pegasus who wants to join the Wonderbolts one day. "Sorry Twi. Anyways, Twilight I saw something weird last night and it kept me awake all night!" said Rainbow. This would explain her flimsy flying but her being awake all night was just an exaggeration.
"Well what was is?" asked Twilight. Twilight was curious of what Rainbow had to say but it may be, stupid or a story that Rainbow Dash made up.
"Well last night I was outside my house in Cloudsdale and I was just about to go inside. Til I saw a UFO!" Rainbow explained. Twilight did not believe a word that she said.
"Rainbow is this another one of your pranks?"
"No I'm serious, I saw a UFO."
"You saw it too?" asked Pinkie Pie who randomly appeared out of nowhere. Now Twilight believes it's a prank, so she just played along and listened to Pinkies side of the story.
"Okay Pinkie where did you see this UFO?" asked Twilight sarcastically
"Well I was just about to go to bed after I ate my midnight snack, even though it wasn't midnight. I got into my bed when I suddenly heard something that was just as loud as a dragon. I looked outside and I saw UFO. though it wasn't a stereotypical UFO that's shaped like a Frisbee, it was more in a shape of a rectangle." With that explanation Twilight thought that Pinkie and Rainbow have planned this prank.
"Well that is a lovely story pinkie but I'm not falling for it." stated Twilight
"But it's true!"
"Well if that's true how come everypony else hasn't seen or heard anything?" questioned Twilight.
Just as Twilight asked that question, Pinkie yelled "Hey! Did anypony see a UFO last night?!!!" Everypony in ponyville just nodded. They all seem very calm about it, but then again their are a few ponies that are saying the end is neigh including Applejack for some reason.
'Huh I guess that explains the noise I heard last night. I thought it was a dragon but then again I was really tired' Twilight thought. "Alright I believe you. So gather the elements I'll write a letter to the princess. Were gonna meet an extra terrestrial life form."
Pinkie then started waving her front hooves in the air and yells "ALIEN HUNTING! ALIEN HUNTING!" Ah yes alien hunting, I saw that on TV too.
Twilight and all her friends are in the Everfree forest, because Rainbow Dash said she saw the UFO land in the forest. Twilight was curious of what she'll find; Pinkie Pie is exited to throw it an welcome to our planet party; Rainbow wants to fight the alien if it's hostile; Applejack wants to fight it for coming to the planet; Fluttershy was scared and Rarity is also scared.
Pinkie pie was humming the theme song to invader Zim until they finally see the UFO. Pinkie Pie was right about it being rectangular but the mane six never expected it to be so big. It looked so advanced yet it looked impossible to fly, it's a hunk of metal how is it able to fly. Twilight went closer to the spacecraft and without noticing the rotting manticore corpses, she accidentally stepped on it. Twilight looked down and saw the rotting body and screamed "AHHH!!"
"Mother of Celestia! W-What kind of creature would do such a thing!?" cried Fluttershy with tears coming down her eyes. Rarity then went to hug Fluttershy to try and calm her down but she won't stop crying.
"Well now we know the aliens are hostile, lets give them a piece of our mind." said Rainbow as she is prepared to fight.
"Rainbow wait. Perhaps the aliens were attacked by the manticores and we all know how aggressive they are." Twilight stated "We should find the entrance to the space ship, because they might be scared after fighting two manticores and a manticore alpha." Soon after analysing the UFO, the front of the ship opened. The only thing on Twilights mind right now is a question, that question is 'What kind of creature can take on three manticores?'
She'll soon find out
Author's Note
Alright about the weapons. I don't know how much ammo the weapons should have in warhammer 40k so I based the galvanic rifle on real world hunting rifles for reference. So it would have five shots in each cartage. it makes sense because skitarii based the galvanic rifle on hunting rifles, it even looks like a hunting rifle.
Princess Celestia / Ten minutes earlier
Princess Celestia has just finished raising the sun and is now having her breakfast, with a cup of tea of course. Right now while she's having her breakfast, Celestia is waiting for her sister Luna to get her breakfast. Luna may be princess of the night but she still has to do her royal duties in the day.
A couple of minutes later the princess of the night entered the dining room with tired eyes. Celestia thought it was strange because Luna rarely got tired. Her sister either had too much coffee last night and is now suffering from a hangover, or it was because she had too much fun at nightmare night and had difficulty sleeping or some shit.
"Good morning Luna, how was nightmare night?" Celestia asked
"It was the most... fun sister." yawned Luna. Yeah this confirmed all of Celestia's suspicion, she had too much fun last night.
"I guess that explains why you're so tired."
"No it's not the reason why I'm tired."
"Then what is it?"
"I was in the doing my job. When I was in the dreamscape checking for nightmares I saw a horrible dream."
"Luna I think the word you're looking for is nightmare."
"That's the thing, it wasn't a nightmare it was a dream. And it was ever so horrifying to even count as a dream."
"I don't follow. Is it a dream or is it not."
"Trust me sister I know what a dream is. It was a dream because the pony who was dreaming it wasn't scared of it. It's as if they are used to it and has been in these situations."
"Luna please explain to me what this dream is like"
"... In this dream I was in there was only war. There were so many creatures fighting each other with magic, swords and with strange weapons that fire beams of light. Their seemed to be no peace in this world, because when they weren't fighting they were suffering from starvation and disease. So many of these creatures die everyday because of this endless war and if you did anything wrong you would be executed in public. One of the reasons they would be executed would be for being an atheist. "
Celestia didn't know what to say, she has never heard of any pony having a dream that's so dark and grim. It didn't make any sense, why would anypony dream such terrible things. Luna had to go through all that and she's still sane, maybe the reason why she wasn't affected by the insanity on the dream is because she was insane or still is.
Suddenly a letter appeared in front of Celestia from a ball of green fire. It was a letter from Twilight Sparkle, 'strange she just sent me her friendship report.' Celestia thought as she opened the letter.
Dear princess Celestia.
Recent reports from multiple ponies say that an alien spaceship has landed in the Everfree forest. I know this sounds crazy but Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and the rest of poniville say the same thing "I saw a UFO." Celestia if this is true then we have discovered a new species, but what are their intentions? Do they need our help or are they here to invade? Celestia please come to Ponyville with a small army just in case the aliens are a threat.
Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle.
"What is it this time sister?" asked Luna curiously.
"Luna drink your coffee and tell shining armour to bring twenty guardsponies to Ponyville." Celestia commanded as she got up from her chair and started walking towards the castle exit. 'Well at least this day isn't boring'
Name: SR-37
It's daylight I was praying to the Omnissiah, till I heard a scream. Either something is getting attacked by the mutant lions or a xeno has found our ship. If its a xeno then there's intelligent life on this planet but if it's something else then may have to kill it. What ever that scream was it needs investigating. So I stopped praying twenty three minutes earlier than usual and got up from the pilots seat to wake Sara.
When I went to wake the guardsman I find that she's already awake, the scream must've woke her up. Sara looked upset, she's still mad about what I did last night. I don't care that she's mad right now, it had to be done. "Sara grab your weapon." I order her.
"What are we gonna murder more innocent creatures?" She questioned as she went and holstered her lasgun. I ignored her question as I went and grabbed my galvanic rifle. I haven't got much ammo left, I counted last night and I only have twenty bullets left. I'm going to have to eiter save ammo or make some more, but I don't have the materials to make the servitor-bullets so I may have to improvise.
"Guardsman what would you do if you saw a xeno on this planet?" I ask her
"I just point and shoot at the filthy xeno." she answered very quickly as she aimed her weapon and pretended to fire it.
"In other situations yes, In this situation no. We need to make allies with the inhabitants of this planet, otherwise we won't survive."
"Are you saying we should betray the imperium. That's heresy!"
"I never said we should betray the imperium. I said we should make allies with the xeno not enemies. Besides the imperium needs more allies to fight with." I explain. "We also have too many enemies so new allies would benefit us."
Sara didn't like what I just said to her, but it's true. We have too many enemies, I don't even know how humanity is still alive after all these years. I mean sure we had teamed up with the Eldar and the T'au but we never really became allies in this never ending war. "Listen. If the xenos on this planet are evil, we'll kill them. But that's if I conclude they're evil." I tell Sara. That seemed to brighten up her day.
"I can't wait to blast some xenos scum!" said Sara.
'So it's alright to kill xenos and not mutated animals' I thought.
I opened the large metal door of the Thunderhawk, as it slowly opens we are greeted by... multi coloured equine? Well that's disappointing, I thought I would find inteligent life on this planet. But all we ever see so far are dumb animal that want to kill us.
The equine also seem to be mutated like the lions, except they don't have scorpion tails. Theirs a purple horse with a horn sticking out of its head and has a mane with different shades of purple. another one with a horn but it's coloured white and has a purple mane. There's two winged equine one being cyan with a rainbow coloured mane and a yellow one with a pink mane. Two regular horses, one being orange and the other being a bright pink. Wait does the orange one have a hat? if this equine has a hat that means they are intelligent, unless they're just pets it still means there's intelligent life. Well theirs only one way to find out if they're intelligent. "Greetings. We are from the imperium of man and we wish to get out of this retched forest." I greeted. The equine seem confused, then the pink one bounced up to me.
~~"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie. Who are you? What planet are you from? Do you like cupcakes? Has kitten cut off Gulliman life support yet?"~~ The pink one jumped up and down as it says something in it's language. I should've expected this, there's a language barrier.
Twilight sparkle
"Pinkie please stay away from the aliens, we still don't know if they're evil." I order Pinkie Pie.
"Okie dokie loki." She said before coming back towards us. These creature look nothing like the aliens from my science fiction novels. They're bipedal and they look like they've just got out of an endless war. The one wearing a red coat looks like a robot due to its metal arms and legs. Even it's face reminds me of robots. maybe it is a robot.
The other alien looks more organic. It wears some sort of armour that's coloured green but has some clothing underneath the armour and judging by the face and long hair I'd say that it's female. And it's blue eyes are smaller then most creatures in Equestria but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that I'm meeting an alien species, oh I have so many questions. Only one problem, we can't understand what they just said and I don't think they understand us either.
So far, everything's calm. Until Rarity dashed towards the aliens. "Oh my this cloak definitely suits you darling. I especially like the red, it goes so well with the metal limbs. Though i'll give you minus three points for the claw marks on your sleeve. So all in all seven out of ten." declared Rarity as she analyses the red cloak.
"Rarity why are you reviewing the aliens clothing?" I questioned
"Twilight darling it's a rare opportunity to see clothing from another world." stated Rarity.
"Well its hard to tell them you like their cloths if they don't understand you."
"Yes I know but like I said it's a rare opportunity."
Well I guess there's no harm done, after all it's just cloths so it's okay. What isn't okay is that they don't understand us but I think I have a spell for that situation at golden oaks. "Twilight are you sure these we should make friends with the aliens? What if they're evil? I mean they just killed three manticores" Rainbow Dash questions.
"Dash if they're evil we'll just turn them into stone like we did to Discord. Besides they were probably defending themselves from the manticores." I explained to dash
"Yeah but-"
"Remember Zecora and not to judge a book by it's cover."
"Well I'm agreein with Dash, these aliens probably landed on our planet for a reason. They must be evil." Applejack pointed out. I have to admit the aliens probably landed on our planet for a reason. But picking a random planet for no reason only to take over sounds pointless. What will they gain out of invading us?
"Applejack just because an alien invades doesn't mean they're evil." stated Rarity
"Um yeah it does. That's the point of invadin, to take over the world."
"Applejack what I meant was-"
"Nope ah don't wanna hear it. They're evil and that's final."
"Um girls."
"Applejack try to be reasonable, remember don't judge a book by its cover."
"Ah know Twi, I'm just trusting my instincts, cause ah have a feeling they're evil."
"Girls"
"So do I, I mean one of them is made of metal." Rainbow stated
"Well what do you expect from a robot? They're made of metal."
"Girls!" yelled Fluttershy. Me and my friends then turned our attention to her. "Um... the aliens are gone." Well she isn't wrong it's gone wait.
"IT'S GONE OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!? WHAT IF APPLEJACK WAS RIGHT WHAT IF IT IS EVIL OH SHIIIIIIIT!!! WERE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!" I panicked
"Twilight. Calm down!!" Pinkie screamed as she slaps my face a few times to snap me out of my crazy moment. "We technically haven't lost them, look." stated Pinkie pie as she points to our hoof prints on the ground. Next to the hoof prints I see two different pairs of prints on the ground. One goes deeper into the ground than the other.
Well the good news is we know where they're going. The bad news is we know where they're going. I hope the princesses don't see them as a threat.
Sara Hart
Stupid xenos, they were talking among themselves for so long they didn't even know we left them in the forest. But it's only a matter of time before they notice we're gone and start following our footprints. Me and SR are following the hoof prints of the equine, we hope that they would lead us to some kind of civilisation.
The reason we ran away from the group of xenos that found us is because we couldn't understand what they were saying. So me and SR were like 'fuck this shit were out.' And we got away from them. Besides I didn't like the look of the orange xeno, she looked as if she was about to beat us to death with a rusty hammer or something. Not that she had a rusty hammer or anything but that what she looked like.
After following the footprints me and SR finally reached the end of the forest, only one problem. The good news is we found where the all the xenos live. It's really smaller then I expected, it looks so...peaceful... and more as ancient than the imperial cities on Terra. The bad news is we ran into an ENTIRE FUCKING ARMY!!!
Okay I exaggerated there's only around twenty solders with primitive weapons. But by the Emperor, it may be a small army but I don't think that SR would survive this wave of xenos soldiers, I mean he may be a machine but every machine has its limits. Behind the army are two tall equine. Both of them have horns and wings. There's a white one with a rainbow like flowing hair and a blue one with hair that mirrors the cosmos. They must be the leaders because they both seem to be more unique from the other xenos.
~~"Greetings strange creatures. Are you friend or foe?"~~ said the tall blue xenos. I think it just ordered the army to attack if we attack because they look as if they're about to charge straight towards us. Then again I could be wrong. If only we could understand them.
I can sense strong energy coming from the two leaders. Its as they have energy flowing through them, almost as if they're the most powerful beings on this planet. I can even sense the energy coming from the ones with horns, even when I was in the forest I can feel energy flowing through the purple and white equine. I have always felt this power when I was a child. My farther told me to keep it secret and never show anyone no matter how amazing it was. He also told me what I was.
...
But that doesn't matter now because of the fuckin army that's about to charge at us. "Guardsman drop your weapon." SR ordered me. Who does he think he is? Were not even part of the same military yet he still bosses me around. If he was a normal person I would shoot him in the face, but I can't because he would kill me before I kill him.
"Why?" I asked
"Because we would both die if we were to fight this small army."
He made a good point. As much as I hate him he is a lot more clever than me. Beside I wouldn't have survived without him but that doesn't mean I like him. So I'll do as he say's for now, I dropped my weapon on the ground and then SR dropped his weapons. Stupid ranger he should've kept his melee weapon on him like I kept my knife on me. I kept my knife on me just in case the xenos think about fighting us or decide to experiment on us.
~~" You still haven't answered my question, are you friend or foe?... Sister do they understand us?"~~ said the blue xenos
~~"I don't know Luna."~~ said the white xenos. Wait a minute. The xenos were waiting for us, they knew we were coming. ha ha I'm gonna get killed by these xenos.
Well just as I thought things couldn't get any worse the six xenos we found in the forest came back. They ran straight pass me and SR and went straight to the towards tall equine. Okay are they gonna confirm that were a threat or something else because if they're gonna kill us then I officially hate this planet.
After the xenos talked to their leaders the leaders and the six xenos walked towards me and SR. This is scary because I don't know whats gonna happen. Once they came up close to us I felt I was close to royalty. It felt like I was in the presence of the emperor himself. This made me feel calm.
A golden aura surrounded the white equines horn and immediately I felt like I had headache. It then became unbearable pain in my head It hurt so much. I wasn't the only one in pain, because SR seems to be having the same experience as me. He's holding his head really tight and trying to avoid screaming in pain. However after thirty seconds the pain stopped.
I was right about these creatures. They're psykers, I only met a couple of Pyskers back on the battleship but they didn't feel as powerful as those two xenos. "Greetings creature. Now that you understand us, are you friend or foe?" questioned the white equine.
They used the warp just so we could understand each other. My head could've exploded or worse, well I best start talking or they might kill us "Um... f-friend." I replied I hope they won't kill us.
Name: SR-37
They used their psychic energy just so they could understand us, how irresponsible. I have a pounding headache, my brain could've exploded because of this psyker. Don't they know the dangers of the warp like being possessed by a daemon or exploding because of overloading their bodies with the warp. Are they not affected by the risks?
"Hey SR are you okay?" asked Sara "You look as if you're gonna faint or something."
"I'm fine guardsman." I responded. "Do the xeno understand us now?" I questioned
What I didn't notice was that the six equine have been listening to our conversation and they are mad. I should've chose my words carefully and called them equine. The he winged equine with rainbow hair flew up to me. "Hey who are you calling a xeno?!" The the cyan equine blurted. Seems that they speak low Gothic now. This good because I now understand them.
I can already tell that she's going to be annoying "I'm sorry I should've said equine." I say sarcastically. She didn't take that well because she started to look angrier. Maybe I shouldn't have said that either because I need to be more diplomatic otherwise the imperium would be deemed as enemies on this planet.
"Now, now my little ponies there's no need to fight." said the tall white equine. The rainbow haired equine then moved away from me as the tall white equine moved closer to me. "Greetings, my name is princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria. And this is my sister Luna Who co rules Equestria with me. Who might you be?" The princess greeted. So their is royalty on this planet. Also the planet is named Equestria but I could be wrong because that may be the a name of the country and not the planet.
"My name is SR-37, I am a soldier for the adeptus mechanicus. And this is Sara, a guardsman of the Astra militarium" I greeted
"... Those are strange names for aliens." The pink pony pointed out
"Well what's your name?" asked sara
"Oh my names Pinkie Pie and now that you're here in ponyville I can finally give you a welcome party."
"First of you're a hypocrite for saying our names are strange and second what's a party?"
Kemuel
"Wake the fuck up mon'keigh." I wake up to find that I'm in some sort of torture room, the room is dark and there's little light. There is a green misty fog in the room, I hear people screaming and groaning in pain and I also hear groans of pleasure and satisfaction.
I realise now that I'm on an Dark eldar Void stalker. I see one of the filthy xenos coming towards me. He wears dark armour but he seems to be missing his helmet. Getting a closer look at his face he has black eyes that look like an endless void; his hair is black and long it length goes up to his neck. He has pointed ears like any other eldar. He comes up to me, face to face and says "You have to help me find a seer."
Author's Note
Sorry I'm late. I have collage to go to so updates may be a bit late.
Tell me what needs editing so I could edit it, I hope this chapter is alright.
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
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
Yeah I had an idea that princess Celestia and Luna are the two missing Primarchs.
Draznazar
After The song stopped playing me and two others stop dancing. I go up to Kemuel and hold him by his neck. "I'm only going to say this once mon'keigh, Who is the Seer?" I ask menacingly. I already know the name but I want her backstory, If the captain doesn't answer I will beat the information out of him.
"Her name is Sara Hart... She is a gamma+ psyker... Her mother was a psyker and her farther was part of the Rouge traders, They were in love. Sara's mother died giving birth to her and her farther died when she was twelve years old. I took her in and I made her a guardsman so the inquisition won't suspect that shes a psyker." Interesting the captain does know seer personally.
"Why did you bring her in?" I questioned.
"Lets just say I owe a dept to her farther."
I finally got the information I needed, now I have to make a decision. Slavery or death? I think death. "Thank you for your cooperation. Your free to go... To the afterlife." I then proceed to beat Kemuel to death. One punch after another I can feel him weakening, I then proceed to rip his nose of and make him eat it as he screamed in pain. "Come one mon'keigh, you need your strength up so I can beat you more." I explain as I laugh like a maniac. The captain spits his own nose out.
I start beating him again, bruises start forming around his body. Internal bleeding I suspect. I then punch him in the stomach really hard that his lunch came out of his mouth and went all over my arm. Disgusted I stop beating him, only so I can take my sword and stab him right in the chest. It went through swiftly.
Before I get my sword out of his chest his last were "Long... Live... The Emperor." Then pull my sword out of his beaten corpse. It was fun while it lasted.
"I respect you old man, you kept your faith even at the end of your life. This is why I liked you as an arch enemy, You are the complete opposite to me. I wished this rivalry lasted longer." I spoke to the corpse. "Goodbye Kemuel see you in the next life."
"Draznazar what now?" Asked one of my soldiers.
"We land on the planet. And we find the seer." I tell him. The place I want to land on this planet is the desert region of the planet. Because I don't want anyone finding us.
"What about the scout team on the planet?"
"The Wyches got themselves in this mess they can get themselves out. And if they survive I will kill them for disobeying direct orders." The Wyches are always blood thirsty, I think it's due to the combat drugs. They're too addicted to them, all they ever want is to kill something, anything.
"Captain, why are we looking for the seer?" The soldier asks
"What is your name soldier?"
"My name is Charmien sir. And as for my question."
"Revenge." I answer simply
"Revenge sir?"
"Yes revenge we'll leave it at that."
"But sir, can at least tell me why are you getting revenge on this seer?" Always with the questions with this one.
"She killed someone personal to me Charmien."
"Personal?"
"I won't talk about it any further." I tell Charmein. I then walk out of the torture chamber and into the main hallway. A death in the family is hard to move on from, isn't it Sara hart.
Name: SR-37
This little village is strange. So far I've seen a hollowed out tree, a house made out of food and equine with horns using their psychic powers without exploding. The house that seems to be made out of food is actually fake, what I mean by that is that the parts that look like food are like decorations. There actually made of carved stone and wood like the other houses.
The equine with horns, I need to question them about how their psychic energy works in this world. Because even though it acts the same for other psykers, the equine are not affected by the negative aspects like daemonic possession. I would question them right now if they weren't in their houses, cowering like dogs.
... "Halt!" I turn around to see three of the guards pointing weapons at me. Two of them have wings and the other one is just a regular equine, but they all seem to have white fur "You have committed crimes against Equestria, how do you plead?" asked one of the guards.
"What crimes? I've only just got here." I pointed out. They look tough but they're probably scared because of the way I look.
"You murdered one of the citizens of Ponyville, Spoiled rich."
"Who?"
"The wife of Filthy rich."
"I did no such thing."
"Tell it to the judge." said the guard as he ordered the two other guards to arrest me, but their attempts will be futile. They point their wooden spears at me but I grabbed one and pulled it away from the guard. The other one tried to stabbed me in my metal chest but when he did the spear snapped once it hit me.
"Pathetic!" I insult. I then punched him in the face, but not too hard because I don't want to kill him "You are weak." The two guards who went to arrest me ran away like the cowards they are, but one of them stayed I guess he's not scared of me.
Just as I was about to walk away. A knife sliced through the stone road right next to my left foot. The knife is slightly curved With some sharp edges, I know this blade belongs to the Dark Eldar because of this curve. If they followed me and Sara here that probably means they wanted no survivors when they invaded the battle ship, I assume they followed us here to finish the job. "You better leave if you know whats good for you." I order the guard.
"No. you may have scared the rest of ponyville but you won't scare-" Before he could finish his sentence he got shot in the head. What remains of his head is all over the ground. Judging where that blast came from I look up and find seven Dark Eldar on the roof of a house. Wyches.
"Remember me mon'keigh? you have killed two my brethren in battle, I will have my revenge by taking your life!" shouted the Eldar woman. She has blood red hair, a large scar on her left eye, she has big muscles but not as big as a space marine and her weapons are a sword and a blaster. She must be the leader
"I don't even know who you are." I tell, it's true I really don't know her. The leader does a back flip and lands on her feet, she then rushes towards me and tries to slash me with her sword but I activate my arc maul and block her attack. The leader kicks my left arm that holding the arc maul and my weapon goes across the road under a market stall that sells flowers.
I need to get that weapon back but first lets put my martial arts skills to the test. I grab the leader by her right arm, sweep my leg under her left let leg and threw her to the ground. I did a judo throw it's an ancient form of combat but it's very effective if you do it correctly.
I hope that will keep her on the ground long enough for me to get my weapon back. I run towards my weapon when suddenly, a hook grabs me by the legs and pulls me back. The Eldar who's pulling be back is wearing a mask so I can't see his face, but I can tell he is a male. "He's all yours Kehnazysh" He says to his leader. So Kehnazysh is the name of the commander of this squad.
"Just so you know, when I kill you, I will take great pleasure in it." Kehnazysh tell me. So I'm guessing that means she isn't going to kill me yet but she will torture me. Or she's going to enjoy killing me because I apparently killed her friends, but I'm pretty sure that she is mistaking me for someone else because I have no idea who she is.
I'm laying on the ground with my legs tied up and I'm about to get killed by a sadistic killer. Well my life was okay, while it lasted. Before she pulled the trigger of her gun it was blasted away by a purple energy blast, Kehnazysh looked confused and so was I. I looked to my left to see Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie , Fluttershy one and Rainbow Dash. Did they follow me or something because I could've used their help earlier.
"You get away from him, whatever you are?" Twilight commands the Wyches.
"Foolish eq'whine, do you realise that your fighting one of the best warriors the Drukhari have to offer, you will all suffer for all eternity." Kehnazysh threatens "Rest of you get the eq'whine" She orders her team. Her team rushed towards the xeno, every member of her kill team take on one equine each, so that's six vs six.
I then use my metal arms to break the chains that have tied my legs together. When they broke I got back on my feet in a fighting pose, "Ha, you must be stupid to think you can survive against me." She brags.
"I know I can survive, because flesh is weak and steel is strong."
She starts slashing her sword at me but I dodge most of her attacks, I got hit around four times my cloak is ripped and I have been wounded around my right shoulder. I might not survive if she keeps swinging that sword at me.
Kehnazysh charges at me while pointing her sword, I block her attack but her sword went in between my metal arms, specifically in the metal Ulna and Radius and that's both of them. I then break the sword, It took me a couple of tries to break it but her sword is now split in two.
Now that she has no sword we now use hand to hand combat. She throws her sword on the ground and punches me in the face with her left arm. The glass on my right eye is now cracked and now my vision isn't good, but I can still see. Kehnazysh tries to punch me again with her right arm however, I grab her arm and punched her elbow. Her elbow can no longer be used, it bent at a weird angle and thus broke her right arm.
Kehnazysh jabs my ribs with her left arm forcing me to let go of her right arm, she then did a back kick and a front kick. This made me fall on to the ground. "You really are foolish! Mon'keigh. No man can beat me." She brags again. I flip myself back up only for her to punch me again with her left arm but she punched me in the chest. This staggered me.
She then attempted to punch me in the face again but I grabbed her left arm, gripped it and did an uppercut this broke her jaw. That will shut her up for a while. "I was right steel is strong." I tell her. I rushed over to her, but she trips me over with her legs, this causes me to fall on to the ground again.
Kehynazysh starts to kick me multiple times and thus making a small dent on my metal chest. It also causes my cloak to rip around the sleeves and chest area. In an act to stop her from kicking me I grab her by the ankle and twist it all the way around, this makes her whole foot come clean off.
The leader of the wych kill team is now on the floor with broken bones. She attempts to speak but due to the broken jaw she has a lisp "You don't understand mon'keigh."
"What don't I understand?"
"... We want her."
"Who? Who do you want?"
"We want the seer, the captain wants the seer." Not enough information. She's speaking nonsense, might as well put her out of her misery. I go over to the cart with the flowers and grab my arc maul, I then go back to Kehnazysh. "You still don't understand mon'keigh,the captain and I both want revenge. and you obvioulsy have no heart when it comes to killing, why not make it joyful."
"Because it would be serving the chaos gods. And it would be considered heresy but you don't understand that." No heart I hate that phrase, with that I smash her head in. Its alright I didn't know her anyway.
Best get rid of the body otherwise the children will have nightmares. I also have to fix my mask and my favourite cloak is ripped again. Can this week get any worse. Well it can because the same two guards from earlier came back and they've bought the princess and Sara.
"Well I killed one of the filthiest xenos in the galaxy, who just killed one of your guards. She also might've killed the one named Spoiled rich who your guards blamed me for doing." I explain.
"Could you've done this without killing the creature?"
"What kind of stupid question is that? I had to kill her otherwise the whole town would be a graveyard. You would do so to, if there was an entire army of them."
"Well the way there's one less filthy xeno in the universe." said Sara "By the Emperor that looks brutal."
"Well killing any creature is illegal in this world. I do not like the fact that you killed a creature in the middle of the streets." Celestia stated
"Think of it this way, it was self defence. If I didn't kill her first she would've killed me"
"I understand that, but next time don't kill anything or anypony again otherwise I'll have to banish you to the moon." Hmph she can't possibly do that, it would be impossible. but then again she is a psyker.
"Oh I almost forgot, The purple one and her friends are being chased by the Dark Eldar"
"What!? Why didn't you tell me earlier!? Where are they!?"
"They went that way" I said as I pointed towards the direction of where they went. Without a word Celestia flew of, I have a feeling that she she will win the battle. I looked towards Sara and ask "You wanna bury a body?"
Twilight Sparkle
"Foolish eq'whine, do you realise that your fighting one of the best warriors the Drukhari have to offer, you will all suffer for all eternity." Threatened the leader. "Rest of you get the eq'whine" The six creatures then rushed towards us whilst doing gymnastics. The way they do it is so that they can get to us faster, their speed is terrifying.
Theses creatures seem to be wearing some sort of leathery material and some metal plating on some areas like on the arms and legs. Most of them have blood red hair except for one because I can't see their face because it's wearing a mask. There weapons are completely unique, some of them shoot some sort of magical energy but they mostly use melee weapons. Their melee weapons consist of daggers and swords except for the one wearing a mask who uses it's fists and his fists have spikes on them.
Me and my friends ran away as fast as we could and after a while of running I thought we lost them. We just entered one of the barns at sweet apple to hide from those monsters. "Twilight what were those things?!" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I have absolutely know idea. But their structure looks similar to Sara's but they're taller, stronger, paler skin and have pointed ears. I think they called themselves the Drukari." I explained
"Well that's great, there's another group of aliens in Equestria. And the worst part is they're out to kill us." Applejack blurted out. Oh dear I hope this problem can be solved soon. Me and my friends were starting to calm down, until I heard a pounding at the door.
*KNOCK*
*KNOCK*
*KNOCK*
Me and my friends were frightened even Rarity fainted. "Come on out Eq'whine, we know you're in there!" shouted one of the creatures. That voice that came from the other side of the barn door was male. "Come on, there's no need for this to get bloody!" They won't leave us alone until one of us comes out.
"Everypony hide." I order my friends
"But Twi-"
"No but's Rainbow this is serious, I won't let you get hurt by these creatures so please hide." I repeated. I know that they're my friends and that we'll stick together no matter what, but these monsters are willing to kill us. My friends then begrudgingly hid behind the hay stack.
I open the door of the barn to be greeted by six Drukari. "Finally we can talk." said the one with the mask. "You're hiding the seer and we want her now."
"Seer? What's a seer?" I questioned
"Hmph, your kind is unbearably naive. You are a seer, your leader is a seer and anyone with a horn is a seer." He explained. "Now you're going to give us the seer or your friends will never see daylight again."
"Those are strong words, but you're all bark and no bite."
"Oh foolish eq'whine, you don't want this fight." I just realised my mistake. He grabbed my neck and I began to choke. "Don't bother screaming, you can save it for Commorragh where you can scream all you want hehehehe. But first where is the seer?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I'll ask you one more time." His grip tightened, I can barely breath. "Where is the seer?"
"Look right behind you." I wheezed. He looked behind only to see princess Celestia, I don't know how she found us but I'm glad she's here.
"Let go of her!" yelled Celestia
"Hmm, no." He said as he started to strangle me even tighter. I can no longer breath, I struggle to get air into my lungs. "I'd rather kill her." He told the princess. I felt like I was going to die, I was so scared, but for some reason he let go. I could finally breath.
Turns out the reason why he let go is because my friends came to help me. "Leave our friend alone, you monster!" yelled Applejack
"Monster? And you're the ones who are protecting the seer, I'd say that you're the monsters. You will suffer for the rest of your pathetic lives, when we go back to Commorragh I will personally make you my slave orange one." He said as he points at Applejack. "But I'm feeling generous today, so I'll give you a chance. The seer, for your lives."
"Dude we don't know what the fuck you're talking about." Rainbow Dash pointed out. "What the heck is a seer?"
"Huh, so you really don't know. All well it makes my job harder but it will also be fun." The Drukari then injected himself with some sort of chemical substance, I think it's a form of drug or something. When he injected himself he looked a lot more crazier and stronger. "This will be good entertainment." He said.
"Oh no you don't." The princess said as she uses her magic to levitate the entire group. The one who injected himself was trying to attack Celestia in his rage but he's failing and Celestia just found it funny that the entire group is useless now. "Killing any creature is illegal in this world and so I'm just going banish you to the badlands. Say hi to Chrysalis for me would ya."
Celestia launched the entire group into the air and they yelled "WERE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!!!" You can even here a twinkle once they're in the sky.
"Well thank you for your help your highness, but how did you know where to find us?" I questioned
"I'll explain later but right now you should head home and Sara Hart shall be your new roommate." Celestia told me
"W-why?"
"I'll explain once were alone."
"What about Alpha?"
"He will be staying with Applejack."
"What? Pardon me princess but why would are you sending that alien into my home?" asked Applejack
"Because I think there should be a lesion that you should relearn Applejack. You seemed to have forgotten about Zecora. Plus you won't be the only one who will hate it." The princess explained. I mean it's good that I get to be roommates with an alien and I really can't wait for her to tell me more about her world, but I'm not sure that Alpha is going to enjoy it as much as I would.
"Okay your highness I understand." Applejack stammered
"Good and now I shall be at Golden oaks library if anypony needs me." And with that she just left. My goodness what a day.
Draznazar
Me and a small group of kabalite warriors are in the dessert region of this planet. It's funny, ten thousand years ago this planet was just a barren wasteland with little life on it. This was all due to the planet not being able to rotate around the sun. I blame the C'tan for this.
Our ship landed near a black hive with thousands of holes, it almost touches the clouds in the sky and it looks dead. I doubt anything is alive in there, even if there is anything alive it would be feral, monstrous and a cold hearted killer. But it's good to be prepared in case of that. Wait why do I hear screaming
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, OOF!" By she who thirsts, the wyches have arrived. And it seems that Kehnazysh is no longer with them, all well I was going to kill her anyway. Kehnazysh was getting weak as well, Slaanesh is actively eating our souls afterall.
"You disobayed direct orders, now the mon'keigh know we're here and it's all your fault." I remind the team.
"It's not our fault sir, one of the creatures on this planet spotted us. We had to kill it otherwise we would've been spotted earlier." Ser'eth explained. Ser'ethis the one wearing the mask, he is second in command of the kill team. But he is arrogent and believes that he gets what he wants, I can't believe our entire species is like this. I can't believe I am like this.
"Ser'eth, another screw up like this and I will feed you to the Khymera. And the same goes for all of you!" I threaten. I can't let this go wrong the seer needs to die!
Sand storms coming I can see it in the distance, the whole team can see it in the distance. The rage of the storm will set us back a couple days judging by the size of it and we'll probably be killed if we went through it. "Come on you lot, into the hive. We'll wait a couple of days within the hive and after that we'll make no contact with any of the craftworlds." I command.
The entire team walked into the dead hive and once inside... Something feels off... We are not alone.
Author's Note
sorry I'm not really good with fight scenes.
Draznazar
Something's wrong, this place feels wrong and I think we're lost. These tunnels keep shifting every now and then, this leads me to believe that this place isn't dead, it just looks dead. These dark putrid tunnels carry the stench of the dead, the smell of rot makes me feel ill. I shouldn't have bought the entire team in this place.
Not only is the smell of rotting corpses bothering me but it's also the fact that we're being followed as well. I know me and my team are being followed, I can hear the sounds of a beast stalking its prey, there might be even more of them judging by the sounds of growling and snarling. But every time me or someone in my team turn around to see what's behind us, the sounds stop and the creatures disappear like they were never here.
Maybe I'm being paranoid and there's nothing following us. But the fact that my entire team hears the noises as well, leads me to believe that I'm not going crazy. We need to get out of here before these mysterious creatures slay us and eat our bodies. I don't give a damn about the storm outside, it's better than in here where we will die. "Draznazar we are lost aren't we?" No shit Ser'eth.
"Ser'eth, if you state the obvious once more, I will blow your brains out!" I threaten. "But yes you're right, we should turn back and retrace our steps."
"Exactly what we should do."
We turn around an retrace our steps but soon found out tha all the tunnels are different. Shit I've heard stories about mazes that change all the time and anyone who goes through them goes insane. Call me crazy but I think we're in one of Tzheench's mazes. We are never going to get out, we are stuck here till the end of time.
*Grrr*
"What was that?" Asked one of the wyches. What ever it is, it sounds hungry.
*Grrrr*
The sound grows even louder. In the darkness of the tunnel I see glowing blue eyes, not only that but there's multiple eyes. They stare at me and my team, the eyes pierce through our souls and casting fear into our minds. One of the creatures steps out of the shadows, reviealing a four legged bug like creature. The creature has holes in its legs, its exo skeleton is black, its wings are malformed and its mouth drools saliva.
Other creatures come out of the shadows, they all growl and hiss and they all look feral. Their eyes scream 'I'm hungry' and they look desperate. I turn around away from the creatures only to find that some of themare climbing the walls and ceiling.
We are completely surrounded and I only see one way out of this. "Open fire!" I command my team and the wyches. We fire our weapons at the creatures but they just keep coming, it's like every time one of the creatures is killed, three more take its place. Even worse is the fact that they are fast enough to dodge most of our bullets, on the upside, melee combat seems to kill the creatures faster because wyches have proved that melee combat is more efficient.
Ignoring my blast pistol I sheathe and start using my power sword instead. One of these bugs like creatures rush toward me and grab it by the throat, the creature hisses at me. I thrust my sword into its chest and I slice upwards, this splits the creatures head in half. I get a short look at the creature that attacked me but it melted into a glowing green puddle of plulsing organs and blood. Ignoring the pile of gore, I slice and dice through this horde like melting butter and it is very effective.
Even though melee combat gets rid of the creatures faster, they still just keep coming. If they are intelligent enough to under stand that they're killing themselves they would retreat. But they're not intelligent, they just want to eat anything with flesh. They're just feral animals and they're just an inconvenience.
After a few minutes of fighting the squad have started to run low on ammo, the squad is struggling to reload without getting attacked. Soon we completely ran out of ammo, we had to use our knifes and other melee weapons, some drukhari had to use their fists. But then one of my squad members got pinned down to the ground by one of the bugs. The creature started to suck on my soldiers life force. AAAAAAAGGH he screams
As the creature sucks my team mates soul, the soldiers body starts to get skinnier and skinnier and as his body withers away the creature get more full as if feasts on his soul. I avenged my allies death by slicing the bugs body in half. The bugs guts start to melt along with the rest of the body parts.
"By Commoragh there's no end this horde!" Ser'eth exclaimed as he stated out the obvious again. Soon one by one my whole squad got dragged away into tunnels, they all went in different directions. So eleven Drukhari fell to the bugs. There's only me left and I won't last long. I got surrounded very quickly by these feral pests who only feast like the the C'tan.
"I will die with my honour intact!" I say to myself. But instead of being slayed by the creatures, I got hit on the back of my head. How humiliating.
I wake up only to see myself being dragged by these monsters. "Another intruder, bing it in the throne room with the others." An intelligent voice said. So thes pests have a mind of their own even though they act like wild beasts.
The smell of rotting corpses has gotten stronger, I have no idea where it's coming from but it is very close by. I look around to see what the smell is and I see a tunnle that says 'The corpse tunnel.' This is probably the place where they throw the dead of there own kind, but it might be used to discar there victims.
Soon I enter a chamber full of cocoons on the ceiling and a throne in the middle of the room. The cocoons have living creatures inside them, and I'm not sure what they are because I can't see what's inside them due to how bright they glow, but I suspect that there's bugs inside them or, since there's eleven of them they might be members of my squad. The throne has one of these creatures sitting in it except it's larger than the others, it has messy hair that's coloured dark blue, its green eyes are like a cat, its horn looks mangled and it has a crown on its head. This creature must be the leader.
"My queen we have captured another one of the intruders." The guard informed the leader. Queen eh, what a fitting title for a worthless insect. "What should we do with them? Should we put it in a cocoon?" It continued
"Hmm, it seem intelligent, just look at the armour it's wearing." The queen pointed out "I shall talk to this one, alone." Now why would it want to speak to me? Does it know I'm the leader? Or is she just curious?
"B-But my queen..."
"I don't need your protction! I can take care of this creature myself!"
"Y-Yes my queen." The guard along left the room. Just me and royalty, the queen is a fool I can attack at any moment. She will feel true pain and suffering, yet she might be of use to me.
"I you can talk creature, so tell me why did you and your kind invade my kingdom?" The queen asked
"We were seeking shelter from the storm, and your kind tried to kill us." I answer "One of these monsters killed one of my soldiers."
"You're right to call the creatures that attacked you monsters, they are feral changelings after all. But you are lucky that one of my guards noticed you and rescued you."
"Ferals?"
"Changelings that don't get enough emotions to feed of. For example if they don't eat enough love they either starve to death or turn feral." The queen explained. That explanation sounds similar to the Drukhari, If we don't torture anyone our souls will be eaten by Slaanesh.
"So you you're like us." I pointed out.
"We are nothing like you."
"Don't deny it, we have to torture someone otherwise we die. You feast of emotions, I feast on the pain and suffering of others. You and I are not so different, and we probably have similar goals, so I think we can work togeter."
"I will not work with anything like you. You are weak and pathetic excuse for a monster!"
"I have an army at my disposal." That convinced her. "Thousands of soldiers that will follow me till the end, and they can follow you if you agree to work with me."
"I-I will work with you. If you assist me with an invasion."
"I believe we've made a deal queen-"
"Chrysalis, Queen Chrysalis." She interupted. "And you are?"
"Captain Draznazar of the Dark Eldar." I answer, I always to say that. "also where's the rest of my squad?"
"In the cocoons I'll let them out soon enough."
"They'll attack you on sight you know."
"Yes and they won't even land a hit on me."
"I know I just want you to kill one of them."
"Why?"
"For annoying me."
