Heroes are remembered but legends? They never die for they live forever.

It is said long ago that when Equestria was first young and a newly crowed Faust faced a dark evil, a darkness so evil that it almost beat the new queen of Equestria and took the entirety of Equis. As all hope seemed gone five cousins risen up, these brothers along with there servants came to fight off the horde of chaos. Equipped with great weapons of destruction they fought with the fury of the countless fallen that the demon's slain.

These brothers served a being known as the emperor who sent them to this world to defend it from the evil that tried to corrupt it. Fighting along side Faust the five cousins soon pushed back the daemons of hell and took back equestria but at a cost. There one way home was destroyed cutting them off here to remain for the rest of time, but the five didn't care for this because they were to stay and protect this world it was the emperor's will.

As the five remained they spent the first few years tracking down any remains of chaos to which after a great battle between chaos agents who wished to re open the portal to there homeworld resulted in the death of one of there allies. Even in death the cousin who fell rose back up and fought alongside his brothers as a great war machine known only as a dreadnought. After the battle known as the battle of a thousand tears resulted in the death of three of the five along with Faust.

The last of the five fought along side his undead brother to stop the heretic and avenge his family, after the battle of thousand tears peace arose in the kingdom of equestria. With the death of there mother the two sisters who remained took there mothers throne and ruled over equestria resulting in a great peace that seemed endless. Peace was something that the last five wasn't use to, so he decided to follow his cousin in a deep sleep within the walls known as the death-keep where the technology and the bodies of the other brothers remained. It is said that the two of the remain five sleep awaiting the call to arms once again to defend the peaceful world of Equis from those who wish to destroy it.

After 5,000 years of slumber there legend soon rusted into tall tales and other stories, no pony or creature knew were this 'death keep' was. Some treasure seekers and villians who wish to over throw the princesses. But it remained known to all for the next few thousand years, that is until the protege came of age to learn of the beings known as the deathwatch better known as the 'night watchers'.

Twilight learns of the tears

Note: This story takes place before season 10.

Celestia relaxed in her chair as she closed her eyes enjoying the light of her sun along with the quietness of this moment, moments like this were rare for her and her sister. Most of the time the only free time she would get was for sleep and eating but today was a new day, her student twilight sparkle also known as the princess of friendship was given the assignment to see what it was like to rule a kingdom by taking both the night and day court.

...

The real reason she did this was because she honestly need the day off.

"I had a feeling I would find you here sister," Smiling she lifted her sunglasses off her face and turned to see her sister luna smiling at her.

"Luna? What are you doing up?" Celestia asked to which her sister replied.

"Couldn't sleep and besides I could always sleep tonight after all I got the night off," She told her sister as she sat down next to her sister by the leaning chair.

Celestia smiled as she leaned back pulling her sunglasses down as her sister joined her in the peace.

The two sat not speaking till luna spoke up.

"Sister did you have twilight take our tasks because of today?" Luna asked to which Celestia turned to her sister with her arms crossed.

"What do you mean lulu?" Luna turned to her.

"...Are you serious?" That was when Celestia realized what her sister was saying.

"Oh buck me! How could I forget!" She got up and moved her sunglasses up. "I didn't realized today was the day and-"

Luna smiled holding out her hand.

"I think you did because you had twilight take our tasks so you must have known even if you forgot," Luna suggested as the sun princess nodded.

"Yeah must have been second nature...Its been a long time," she stated as luna nodded.

"Yes but you know he picked his chose...but I do miss the him and the rest of our brothers," She then sighs. "How long has it been? 3,000? 4,000 years?"

"5,051 years 2 months 3 weeks 5 days," Celesita said as luna held a surprised look.

"I-I have to say sister I'm impressed," Luna said as Celestia smiled back before sitting down.

"Maybe we should wake him?" She shook her head.

"I thinks its best not to after all he did tells not to if it was dire," Luna told her but she then sighed. "But its been awhile perhaps we should wake him I don't think he wont mid seeing us,"

Celestia hummed before getting a idea.

"I think its time that twilight finally meets our beloved brother,"

Luna raised a eyebrow to her sister.

"Are you sure she is ready to learn the true past of equestria after all she will one day rule," Luna nodded at celestia truth as she got up.

"So much for our day off," As celestia smiled.

"We can always hold the courts back for one day,"

"True,"

Twilight hummed as she looked at the piece of paper in her hands as she hummed, it held reports on the trading between the dragon Isies and equestira. It held the record of the trade for the rare metals and in exchange for gems and the trade was good but it need a signature and she need-

"Twilight?" She jumped at her mentors voice.

She turned to see her beloved teacher looking at her.

"P-p-p-princess what are you doing here?" Her blood froze at the sight of her teacher.

Normally she would be happy to see her but now? Did she do something wrong? Did she mess up already?

Her fears increased when she saw luna! Oh boy she must have screwed up big time if both her teachers came to her!

"Well twilight we would like to talk to you about something," Celestia told her as twilight's heart began to pound in her chest as she head this.

"D-d-d-did I do something wrong," She asked cause the sun princess to smile before giving a lit chuckle.

"No no dear twilight your doing just fine," the princess said this confused her as the two sat down in the seats in front of her.

"Um...why are you here then, if you don't mind me asking because isn't your day off?" She asked as the two nodded.

"Yes but while talked with each other we decide that you should know of something," The sun princess told her causing her to go wide eyed.

"Know of what princess?"

Celestia smiled.

"Twilight please your princess as well you don't have to call me princess," She told her student as she smiled.

"Sorry force of habit," She stated.

"Its alright but besides that what I'm about to tell you is extremely secretive my student and the only reason we are telling you this it is because we believe you can be trusted with it," Twilight looked at her teacher as she listened in great detal as she was about to pull out her note book. "What we are about to tell you is something you must not speak to that isn't Luna or myself do you understand?"

Twilight gulped and nodded.

"Alright have you do know our mother queen faust," Twilight nodded.

"But do you know of her fate?"

"Um yes...it is said that after she gave you and princess luna the crowns of the equestria she left our world to rule the stars. Everypony knows that princess,"

Nodding the princess spoke.

"That is what we told our ponies but this isn't true," Twilight cocked her head as she heard this then the luna spoke up.

"We should tell you what really happen dear twilight," Luna told her. "Have you heard the battle of thousand tears?"

Twilight hummed as she put her hand to her chin.

"Well yeah it was a tale of where five great warriors fought along side queen faust but then they vanished as soon as they came...what has to do this with queen faust?" Twilight asked as the two princesses shook there head.

"See twilight I think it is time you learn the truth and you know of our family," She said as twilight titled her head.

"What do you mean? your 'family' wasn't it just your mother?"

Luna smiled.

"Lets tell you about our... brothers,"

Author's Note

Alright this should be a suitable replacement for 'bane of caribou' but beside that I hoped you enjoyed this story and hopefully it won't be removed thanks to this first chapter, next time twilight will meet the remaining brother of Equis's 'kill team'.

My writing music for 40k:

Awaken brother

(deep below Celestia and Luna's castle)

"Celestia...what is all this?" Twilight asked as the three were lowered down into a hole via a old lift.

The lift seemed extremely old and looked like it would break any moment but somehow it was stronger than it looked, as it lowered them to the dark dept of the void. The sun princess lit up her horn using a light spell as she turned to her young student.

"After our brother decided to enter his deep sleep he thought it was best to hide the 'death-keep' from the world for the technology and power it held," Celestia told her this cause twilight to tilt her head.

"But if your brother had this great technology why not share it with the entirety of Equestria? From what you told me we could have been more advance than ever before if your brothers shared his technology with you," Twilight stated as Luna shook her head.

"Dear Twilight you must understand the reason why our brother chose to hide the technology from the world was for its own protection," Luna told her. "And besides the technology within our brother's control isn't for the fate of heart,"

Twilight was going to ask another question but the lift stopped causing her to turn forward.

"Were here," Celestia turned to twilight. "Twilight you are stay chose to me and what ever you do Do. Not. Touch. A. Thing,"

Twilight gulp as she watched the doors to the lift open with the sound of old wood and metal moving, she and the rest of the princesses where meet with a large open space that made twilight wander how she didn't see this when she was down here when chrysails trapped her and cadance. As the walked forward the light of her mentor's horn barely lit the cave chamber but then she saw it. Twilight went wide eyed the moment her eyes laid on the large FORTRESS!

When Celestia told her that there brother slept she expected a keep tower but this?

This was basically a full sided fortress! It was almost three times the size of the castle that rest on the surface above, how it was here she didn't know nor did she know how the castle and town above weren't caved in due to the lack of support that this cavern had. Before her rested the vanta and copper fortress of the death-keep, on the outside of the fortress rested statues of what looked like skulls and other strange markings.

Talking a step forward she didn't notice that the thing she accidentally kicked, looking down twilight went wide eyed at the sight of what was before her.

Skeletons!

She almost lost her breakfast at the sight of the many bones that surrounded the death-keep. Ranging from ponies, dragons, diamond dogs, and other creatures of equestria surround the fortress causing the young princess to almost lose it but before she could Luna spoke.

"Fret not twilight for the bones around your feet are those of thieves and grave robbers who wished to seek out the power that the death-keep held within only to be meet with the guardians of the keep," Luna told her making twilight look up at the fortress.

"How...does no pony have ever reported any missing ponies or creature?" Twilight asked to which Celestia stopped when they reached what looked like a gate.

"Twilight these bones are over 4,000-1,000 years old," Celestia told her cause twilight to look at her teacher.

"See twilight before my castle was built or the mountain to which it rests on there was only this place and for the first few thousand years ponies and other creatures would come here seeking power only to be faced with death or flee with grave wounds. Some ponies that you know have tried to come her and take power for themselves," Celestia said.

Twilight looked up confused.

"What do you mean?"

Luna knelt down and picked up what looked to be a helmet of some kind, but when twilight got a closer look of it she saw it was one of sombra's soldier's helmet from the crystal empire long ago.

"Look familiar?" Luna asked as Twilight nodded. "The only reason Sombra lost the crystal empire is because he sent his entire army to siege this place only to lose 60% of his forces and to which we took action and tried to take the empire back before it was banished,"

Dropping the helmet onto the pile of bones at there feet twilight watched as Celestia looked up to the gate before her, on the gate was the strangest looking symbol she had ever seen. On it rested a 'I' with in it text in the middle of it rested a skull that was similar to those that rested on the walls but this one hand its left side dressed in mechanical parts with a ruby red eye. As Celestia stepped forward the symbol hummed to lift, twilight watched as the red eye came to life and lit up the entire cavern red with its light! The light then went out before coming back this time more focused on them as it gave a beep before speaking in a low machine like voice.

"Subjects: Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, unknown being... Being: Alicorn Age: 21 Sex: Female Authorization: Denied Warning third party you are to leave the area at once otherwise you will be terminated this is your only warning,"

Before she could do anything Celestia spoke up.

"Gate keeper hear me! the third party is with me for she too is a princess of equestira as well! Her name is Twilight sparkle and she is with me allow use entry into the death-keep!"

The skull's eye darkness before turning from red to green.

"Access...granted,"

(Sorry this isn't itehattsd)

As the gate began to lower itself into the very ground Twilight was meet with what looked like some kind of air lock chamber. Entering the chamber the gate keep raised itself closing behind them before locking into the great walls of the death-keep once again.

Once inside the large room they were meet with what looked like a old fashion door that seemed to be made of black iron and pure sliver. The dark room's only light was a dim light that came from the lanterns that rested on the walls on the right and left side of the room. Before twilight could ask what was happening the large old fashion door opened up causing the air to taste like frankincense.

Finally entering the death-keep twilight was amazed at how big it looked on the inside along with the walls holding images of what looked warriors and great battles. Walking in they stopped when they heard a pair off footsteps coming there way, twilight looked forward confused but as she narrowed her eyes to hopefully get a better look of what it was coming to them she gasped.

Before them was a creature made of bone and metal, a bipedal creature like them but unlike them it held four different arms. Two of the arms ended in claws that were attached to the back of the creature while the two on where a pair of arms should be didn't end in hands. The right 'hand' of the creature was a three finger claw that held small moving wires in its palm, on the other was what looked like a small version of some kind of chainsaw but almost with a device strapped to its side it looked like a blow torch with its small flame that was always on that blow torches used, something told her that it wasn't a blow torch. It was dressed in a black and red cloak that covered the rest of its form she could think what was under it but when she saw its face she froze. It was a skull that held a red eye like the gatekeeper but where there should be another eye was a series of wires going into it. The bleach skull held the symbol from the gate on its forehead and in its mouth held what seemed to be a speaker of some kind.

"Greets: Princess...Has something happened above?...Do require the assistance of the master?" The creature said in a very muffled voice that came from the speaker, celestia shook her head.

"No but we wish to speak with him," She said causing the creature to stare at her with no emotion.

"Query: Why do you wish to awaken the master if there is no threat to Equis?...The master infromed you he wished not to be disturbed if the Equis wan't under threat," It told her causing Celestia.

"Servo I wish for you do awake lieutenant Lan'Mok as princess of Equestria I order you to do so servo-unit," The machine like device looked up at her as its eye flashed.

"Follow unit,"

(Later)

'This place is like a maze!' confused as it seemed like they walking in circles but then they came across a room that they entered.

The four entered the room, as the friendship princess looked around when they stopped.

"statement: Please wait as the here the master will be awaken shortly," The servo unit told them as the two princesses nodded as they watched the servo unit walk over to what looked like a black tube in the room.

Twilight looking around walked around to one side of the room where there were five stalls within each stall rested a massive set of what looked like armor. Walking up to them the stalls lit up causing twilight to step back at the sight of the strange looking armor sets that rested behind a blue field of energy. Each set of armor was different but the same of each hand a left arm that look like it was made from sliver or platinum along with the black color.

She must haven't been paying attention cause she didn't see luna or celesita came up next to her.

"Amazing isn't it twilight?" Slightly spooked she looked the night princess before giving a nod.

"Yes...is this there armor that they wore?" She asked.

They nodded.

"Yes," Celestia pointed to the first set on the left, the armor out of all the sets looked the most damaged but only a few scratches here and there. On the armor's right arm rested the symbol of a snarling wolf along with that the armor was covered in Celtic ruins, teeth, and what seemed to be a wolf pelt on its backpack. "This set of armor belong to our brother Logan of the space wolves. He died giving his life to allow my sister and I to flee from a demon known as a soul grinder, he was gravely wounded but our brothers gave him a second chance as a dreadnaught to where he now sleeps. To be honest I'm surpised to see his armor like this for the last time I saw it the armor was ripped and torn apart the servo units must have brought it back to its former state after 5,000 years,"

She then turned to another set of armor, out of all of them this one seemd more darker than the others for it also hand more parchment and wax seals on its form along with a more skeleton look than the rest. A hooded skull like mask rested under on its head to go along with the skeleton look along with that the symbol on its right was that of a winged sword that was white with a green back ground. "This was brother Azazel's he was something called a Chaplain from the chapter known as the dark angels, he was there of spirital guidance to the rest of his brothers along with that he was also the interrogator but he was also kind to us when we were little, very few saw his kind side. He along with brother Logan fought amoug themselves for the past of there chapters but when It came down to watch each other backs the two of them put there differences aside and fought bravely,"

Twilight turned to her.

"How did he die?" She asked.

"He was beheaded by a being known as skull collecter but the beast never got to collect his skull for its master for he took the creature with him to his death with his bolt pistol," The sun princess told her.

The sun princess turned to the next armor unlike the rest of the helmets this one was pure white with what looked like a metal eye piece on its left side along with a strange device on its arm and strange jars on its belt. The symbol on his shoulder was that of a black fist on a yellow back ground proud and strong . "This is brother Larvan he designed the death-keep since he was apart of the group known as the imperial fists who are masters of construstion along with that he was also the groups Apothecary the one who would heal there wounds but sadly he fell at the hands of lord of change that stabbed him in his hearts while he tried to retrieve the geneseeds of brother Azarel,"

Twilight wanted to say something but didn't for the two sister looked sad.

But that didn't stop Celestia to going on to the next armor, this one out all the rest was a strange one, it was red and black for it held what looked like a over sized belt buckle on its chest that held a black and white symbol on it: the symbol was a gear half white and half black within it a reversed colored skull. It helmet was pure red with green eyes unlike the others which were red. Along with that red robotic arms came from the much larger backpack that was strapped to the chest and waist, finally was the symbol it bore on its arm. A yellow bar with a red lighting bolt with a white background rested on the arm.

"Finally brother Jekos, the team's tech marine. He was tasked with repairs and other kept up of the weapons here in the death-keep for it was he duty to do so. He was apart of the group known as the white scars and from what he told us they where a tribal like chapter of the adeptus astartes who would make little toys for my sister and I to play with. I-I-I was there to watch him be killed by keeper of secrets when he tried to protect our mother from harm," Celestia said as she began to tear up slightly.

Twilight watched as she rubbed her tears but she froze when she saw a hand that grabbed her shoulder, backing away slightly the hand didn't belong to either her nor princess Luna. Turning her head she and the other princesses where meet with a very dark scaly skin red eyed looking giant, Celestia smiled as looked at the being before her.

"Hello Lan,"
