Forces of the Twisted Heart Kabal:
Notable Members Of The Kabal:
Morog'ka-Ancient master Haemonculus. One of the lords of pain, leader, founder and ruler of the Twisted Heart Kabal.
Vesro'kal-Kabalite Trueborn, Archon and Incubus Klaivex. Leader of the Twisted Heart Incubi, bodyguard and second in command of Haemonculus Morog'ka.
Army Structure Of The Kabal:
The Kabal of the Twisted Heart is build of mostly Drukhari Halfborns, Mandrakes, Haemonculi creations, lobotomized slaves, many xenos mercenaries and some armored units.
Commander units-Haemonculi, Incubi Klaivexs, Dracons(lead instead of Archons), Sybarites(act as squad leaders and Sect commanders), and Kabalite Trueborns(act as leaders for small Drukhari warhosts).
Drukhari units-build mostly of Drukhari Halfborns that are the major bulk of the kabal and serve as Kabalite Warriors. They all so utilize a minor number of Beastmasters, Incubi and Haemonculi acolytes. The Drukhari Halfborns do other major operations of the kabal such as pilots and more. The kabal all so use a very small number of Mandrakes since it is hard to control them.
Haemonculi creations-build of a large number of Scourges, Talos Pain Engines and Cronos Parasite Engines, Wracks, Grotesques and a small number of Haemonculi acolytes to lead them. In addition to standard Haemonculi creations, the Twisted Heart Kabal deploy a unique type of Haemonculi creations called the horrid amalgamates. This abominations are a union of many beasts and Drukhari Technology that were put together with the works of the Haemonculi of the kabal.
Xenos mercenaries-build of a large numbers of Ur-Ghuls, and minor numbers of groups made of Medusaes and Sslyths.
lobotomized Slaves-build of large variety of slaves from many lesser races that had bean surgically altered by the Haemonculi to obey the kabal. They do hard labor or act as cannon fodder. The lobotomized Slaves units are categories as: slave workers, slave soldiers, task masters(heavy units) and overseer's(squad leaders).
Note: all Drukhari forces in the Twisted Heart Kabal have a loyalty implant in their body to ensure no betrayal. And all none Drukhari forces and Haemonculi creations have with the addition to the loyalty implant, they all so received surgical treatment that they will follow the orders of their Drukhari masters with no question asked. Mandrakes have no loyalty implant or surgical treatment since Morog'ka only tolerate them to unlock the secrets of their so-called shadow-skin. They are used only to protect the webway gates within the city of BleakHeart.
Fast units:
Build of a large number of Scourges, Hellions, Beastmasters, Khymerae and many war beasts, a medium size force of Reaver jetbikes, Venom transports, and a small number of Raiders transports. the kabal all so utilize their signature Fast units of the Excetra; these units are Drukhari that were augmented with Sslyth body parts.
Heavy units:
Build mostly of Talos Pain Engines and Cronos Parasite Engines, a small number of Ravager Gunships and Rampage Support Skimmer. the kabal all so utilize their signature Heavy units are the Interloper Terror Engines; these engines of war are build with many shock weapons to cuase fear in enemy ranks. the strongest armor unit of the kabal is the Chariot of Dismay a custom made ravager gunship build for Morog'ka.
Kabal Fleets:
Main fleet- The main fleet is build of custom ships named Twisted Heart class, named after the kabal. They are the same as any ships in a Drukhari fleet but these ships have a faster respond time when under attack and they are build with a wabway gate in them. The fleet have 60 Escorts, 37 Light Cruisers, 25 Cruisers, and 10 battleships. the largest of these battleships is all so the flagship of the fleet named the Ark of Depravity; it is the ship of Morog'ka and his custom flying Haemonculi workshop. The fleet all so have a vast numbers of Attack Crafts such as: Razorwing Jetfighters/Bombers, Raptor Fighters and Raven Fighters. The last flying vessel in the fleet is the city craft of BleakHeart, but the kabal never use it for their raids.
Vanguard fleet- the vanguard fleet is build of 25 Corsair class Escorts, 10 Torture class Cruisers, and one stolen Eldar Phoenix class Battlecruiser that was stripped of all Eldar weapons and were replaced with Drukhari weapons. the ship acts as the vanguard fleet flagship and its called the Black Phoenix, commanded by Alir, a Drukhari Corsair Prince with his Kabalite warriors and fallen Corsairs warbands.
Kabal Realspace Raid Tactics:
The Twisted Heart Kabal realspace raids are started by attacking communication arrays, then sanding lobotomized slave soldiers to destabilize local forces, while Haemonculi creations attack key enemy points. After the targeted area is crippled; the kabal brings xenos and Drukhari forces with slave transports to capture all the survivors of the first attack and bring them to the city of BleakHeart. The kabal all so use shadow raids; this form of raid is conduct with less forces then a normal realspace raid and used to gather key targets without been detected.
History:
The Twisted Heart Kabal is a strange and feared group even among the rest of the kabals of the Drukhari. Build for not only raids but all so trade; the reason for that is in their origin. Once part of the black heart kabal lead by supreme overlord of Commorragh Adrubael Vect, long ago in a time when one of the many satellite realms tried to secede from the rule of Vect; Morog'ka conceive a plan to abandon not only Adrubael Vect and the black heart kabal but all so all of Commorragh. When the kabal of the black heart and the rulers of the satellite realm engage in battle Morog'ka took all of the forces under his command and staged a planetary raid on many satellite realms and Commorragh itself, by arming more then forth of the slave populations as a diversion for his raid and then collapsing the webway gate after him. Once they left Commorragh they build the mobile city of BleakHeart, a craft world like base in a secure part of the webway known only to Morog'ka. No longer part of Commorragh they raid and deal in slavery, extortion, racketeering, piracy and trade with the ones that can afford to deal with them. And they made a name for themselves as the Twisted Heart Kabal. The Kabal of the Twisted Heart perfected the art of Darklight Technology and managed to make a better and stronger versions of Dark Matter weapons, armors and tools such as: the darksplinter weapons; a dark matter version of the splinter weapons that fires shards of dark matter, and the Darklight blades; an experimental Drukhari power weapons that use dark matter as a source of power.
Personal history-Morog'ka:
"Our limits are within the imagination, and my imagination has no limits!!"—attributed to Morog'ka.
Known all so as the surgeon of sins and bringer of depravities, Morog'ka is a very old and ancient Haemonculus from the days before the fall of the Aeldari Empire. In the days of the golden age of the Aeldari empire he was known as Elonadril; one of the first Haemonculi with a vast psychic powers and a leader of the many Pleasure Cults, he all ways sought to find more ways to make himself stronger then other Aeldari. When the empire fell he left for Commorragh and joined Adrubael Vect seeing great promise and more power with him then the rest of his kin that left to the craftworlds or the Exodites. He then changed his name from Elonadril to Morog'ka in order to fool the rest of his race that he died in the birth of slaanesh. but when Adrubael Vect came to power and ordered no use of psychic powers, Morog'ka felt not rage or betrayal in Vect but he felt disappointed. Many years after the fall he join the Haemonculi covens and made a name for himself by rebuilding the dying Incubus Klaivex Vesro'kal and making a one of a kind Pain Engine made from Drukhari Technology and an unknown bioform later discovered to be a tyranid carnifex, and gifted it not to Adrubael Vect or his senior in the coven Urien Rakarth but he gifted it to Lelith Hesperax a Succubus from the Wych Cult known as the cult of strife to kill in the gladiatorial arenas. When his acolytes dare to ask their master why angering vect and Urien, Morog'ka said "i don't dislike Lelith Hesperax" and he left while laughing with madness. The reason why all most no one tried to kill him in Commorragh is because of four reasons: the first reason is that he doesn't kill his assassins but convert them to his forces with his arts of pain. The second reason is that it is said Morog'ka still use his psychic powers and with a small mix of chaos sorcery with it. Where he learned how to do it or if its true is unknown, but it made him something to fear in Commorragh. third reason is because of his vast knowledge about Darklight Technology. and the final reason is that nobody not even Adrubael Vect, knows his true motive.
Note: to his Kabal and many Corsairs, Outcasts and Pirates; Morog'ka is considered a new living member of the Dark Muses. but to his enemies; Morog'ka is considered to be a threat to all eldar and dark eldar factions, while some say he is a daemon possessing a Drukhari body.
Personality-Morog'ka:
Morog'ka's personality is unlike any ancient beings of his age. Unlike most Drukhari or his fellow Haemonculi; Morog'ka have a strange dark sense of humor, and will experiment on himself with many things that can make sometimes other Drukhari fear of. He is all so insane, sadistic, a sociopath, megalomaniac, narcissistic, prideful and a mad genius.
Morog'ka's Warform:
Along with the normal warform of the Haemonculus, Morog'ka added more warforms to himself and his Haemonculi acolytes. such warforms are:
- The blades used by Morog'ka during his realspace raids are razor-sharp without exception, and frequently envenomed.
- The vital organs of the Morog'ka are invariably moved to a location easier to protect -- usually placed within a fleshy sump at the top of the spine.
- The toxins borne to war by Morog'ka are distilled to such concentrated lethality that even their scent can paralyse a foe. Morog'ka even replace his own blood with such fluids.
- Morog'ka's waist is waspish and thin, not only because of his relocated organs, but also likely because of some proto-fashion of the ancient Aeldari that never faded.
- The core form of Morog'ka rarely, if ever, touches the ground. Instead, Morog'ka prefer to slither on elongated spines, hover upon anti-gravitic suspensor crystals, or even be borne aloft by writhing nests of blood-sucking haemovores.
- Morog'ka unlike other Haemonculi have twenty one arms instead of seven. Nine arms in the front that equipped with his many weapons. And twelve arms in the back that equipped with his many Haemonculi tools.
- Morog'ka's lower part of the face is covered with an upgraded version of an Haemonculi Mask used for inhaling all sorts of drugs, toxins and the souls of their victims.
- Morog'ka all so have two long razor sharp mechanical tails; one with a strong tip that can puncture armor and small barbed blades all over it, and the second with a smaller versoin of a talos stinger Pod to kill from distance.
- Morog'ka's body and muscles are taller, faster, larger, longer and deadlier then any Haemonculi, this is due to the fact that he experimented with genetic manipulation on himself with many genes of different races making him all most the size of a talos; this including an altered form of gene seed that he acquired from the Primogenitor Fabius Bile.
- Morog'ka's eyes are dark like the void of space. This is because his body is fused with Drukhari Darklight Technology, and allows him to sometime cheat the natural laws of physics in order to kill with more efficient ways.
Personal gear-Morog'ka:
Morog'ka use many Drukhari Wargears; from his standard Arcane Wargear to normal Drukhari weapons and even custom made Wargear he made for himself. Such wargear is build of: Dark Gate, Scissorhands, Flesh Gauntlet, Stinger Pistol, Webway Portal, Talismans of Petrification, a Liquifier Gun, an Amputator, a Mindphase Gauntlet, a Shadow Field, a Clone Field, a Darklight power blade, a Darklight power claw, a Darksplinter cannon, an experimental BlackSun particle Disintegrator Cannon, and a custom made Haemonculus Armor powered by Darklight. Morog'ka all ways using the Gauntlet of obscured morality; a Gauntlet of unknown origin that use the power of Darklight to able him the usage of his psychic powers without the risk of his soul coming closer to slaanesh. Morog'ka sometimes will come to battle on his personal Ravager Gunship the Chariot of Dismay.
Personal history-Vesro'kal:
"I am the blade of my master, I am the pain of my enemies and I am your end!"—attributed to Vesro'kal.
Vesro'kal history is not of a normal Drukhari Incubus. Born as a Trueborn he got more in his life then other Drukhari and could become an Archon. But instead he wanted to master the perfection of the killing strike, so Vesro'kal joined the Shrines of the Incubi. As the long years passed Vesro'kal mastered all the tools of the Incubi and the killing strike, he then became a mercenary and bodyguard for a strong Kabalite Trueborn. But one day his former master put him in the gladiatorial arenas to die for his pleasure, but Vesro'kal won every match until he faced the undefeated champion of the gladiatorial arenas, Lelith Hesperax. Vesro'kal and no chance against her and when she was about to kill him the battle was stopped. Then in to the arena entered the feared Haemonculus Morog'ka and he made a deal with Lelith Hesperax. If she will not kill Vesro'kal and give him to the Haemonculus then he will make for her a one of a kind monster to dual. Lelith Hesperax agree to the deal of the Haemonculus and turn the dying Incubus to Morog'ka. After many weeks of working on Vesro'kal's body, Morog'ka turn the dying Incubus to one of the most deadly Incubi in Commorragh. And from that day Vesro'kal became the bodyguard and second in command of his new and eternal master, Morog'ka.
Note-Vesro'kal may be a Drukhari, but as a Incubus he still practice and follow the teachings of the bloody-handed god, Kaela Mensha Khaine. Vesro'kal have his own combat style he developed using the forms of Incubi, Howling Banshees and Striking Scorpion.Vesro'kal all so acts as the only Archon in the Kabal.
Personality-Vesro'kal:
Vesro'kal's personality is like of any Drukhari Trueborn, but unlike any Drukhari he has a strange sense of loyalty to the master he serves. if challenged to a one on one combat, Vesro'kal will honor the challenge and fight with no dirty tricks.
Personal gear-Vesro'kal:
Vesro'kal is a part of the Shrines of the Incubi and he master all forms of weapones and armors of the incubi such as: Incubus warsuit with a tormentor helmet, a bloodstone, a Klaive, a Demi-klaives and a punisher halberd. Vesro'kal all so carry his personal Husk Blade a gift from Morog'ka, the Klaive of his shrine the Klaive of Khaine(ignites the blood of his enemies when hits them), and a personal Shadow Field. Since he is part of the Twisted Heart Kabal, Vesro'kal have many enhanced body parts; this include three more arms in his body; two under his original arms, and one arm in the back. Vesro'kal sometimes will come to battle on a Venom transport with two Incubi to guard him.
Main goal of the Twisted Heart Kabal:
Unknown to all and unknown to everyone in the kabal; except for its founder.
End of Known description and analysis.
Now let us begin the story of the legacy of flesh-sculptor Morog'ka:
"We are the lords of despair, masters of terror. Dread and agony are our meat and wine, and they are plentiful indeed!"—attributed to Adrubael Vect.
The Labyrinthine Dimension or The Webway is the vast and large extra-dimensional space partitioned off from the Immaterium utilised by the Aeldari Asuryani of the craftworlds, the Harlequins of the Black Library and lastly the Drukhari of Commorragh. But deep in a very dark corner of the webway is one more group of Drukhari that are consider a threat to all form of Eldar or Dark Eldar, they are the Kabal of the Twisted Heart and this is their story and the story of their master, flesh-sculptor Morog'ka.
location-BleakHeart, base of the Twisted Heart Kabal:
Within the the deep dark corners of the webway is a city build only to inflict all manner of pain, torture, madness and acts of cruelty. No this is not the dark city of Commorragh, this is the hidden mobile city of BleakHeart home of its cruel and vile dwellers, the Drukhari of the Twisted Heart Kabal. All over the city are dark spires guarded by the winged Scourges and below them are tens of thousands slaves from all manner of lesser races working to no end for their Drukhari masters, and the less fortunate slaves are been taking by the many horrors of the city to torture chambers or worse the workshops of the Haemonculi. There is no escape from the city of BleakHeart when you die from to much work or torture they revive you for more work or torture and when you have no more use they will turn you to a slave soldier in their slave army.
Inside the center of the city is the dark sanctum spire, the tallest of all the spires in BleakHeart. From there you can view all the city and hear all the screams of tortured souls. But deep deep within the dark sanctum spire is the Limitless Workshop, the largest of all Haemonculi workshops and torture chambers in the Kabal. And in the limitless workshop lives and work one of the most cruel, vile, mad, hated and Bleak individual in all of Drukhari society. The surgeon of sins, bringer of depravity, flesh-sculptor and one of the great lords of pain. Morog'ka master Haemonculus and leader of the Twisted Heart Kabal.
The rooms of the limitless workshop were dark, cold and full of blood, flesh and many vile torture devices. Along with them were the songs of the screaming tortured slaves that beg to die while they where hang from hooks or dissected alive. Within the workshop itself was the private chamber of Morog'ka where he made some of is usual log entries to keep records of his operations in the city and to keep himself more occupied when he is not torturing his victims.
"Lets see lets see. All ships in the fleet are in no need of maintenance, all workshops are in 100% efficiency and making their usual quotas and in work injuries among the slaves is higher then ever. Well that is better reports then last year. Oh well lets move on to view my side project". The large figure said to himself and then spread is twelve arms in his back and started to press strange buttons and levers, then on his multiple screens were images of strange and colorful equines lifeforms rebuilding their homes after a battle with three of their arch enemies. "Well even after all of their great planning, these three fail to secure their win, predictable". While the figure was watching them a small alarm called his attention. "Yes what is it?".
"My lord this is Klaivex Vesro'kal, with your command i wish to move the level of training of subject '2745009' to a higher level difficulty".
"Permission granted Klaivex. Oh and Vesro'kal do me a favor, her name is not subject '2745009', her name is Vilelust'ra, and she is my most valuable of my creations".
"Yes my lord, it will not happened again". After the communication link was over with the Klaivex, the figure set down and looked at the colorful equines while the screams of his torture victims filled him with joy and glee.
The figure then turn to look at his torture victims, "you know their is a very funny story about how i started to experiment with this "ponies" and the other lesser beings on this planet. And that story began 1800 years ago when i traveled with my bodyguard and a small band of Mercenaries to a space station for business. And to meet an old acquaintance of mine".
space station JX62779-none imperial space- sector unknown: 1800 years ago:
"(our story began in the year of 011.M40 of the Mon-keigh calendar, and i was on bored a mercenary ship that headed to a space station for business. I convinced them to follow me for the right price of course)".
In the dark empty void of space, in an unknown region of the galaxy is a hidden space station where the alien, the heretic and the mutant gather for all manner of things. Not so far from the station a ship of a frigate class docked in the docking port of the station. When the crew of the ship began coming out the ship, along with them came a large figure cover in robes not to be seeing. The figure signal his hired guns to follow him in to the center of the station.
The station was full of criminal activity from illegal gun trade, drugs, slavery and the most valuable of all, information. The figure and his group walked around seeing all the different alien life forms from the untrustworthy traders of the Stryxis, the slimy-skinned quadrupedal Loxatl reptiles, the young humanoid specie of the t'au, the Demiurg, the Vespids, the Kroot, orks and humans of all kind. All of this races came to the station for its grand auction held every 500 years, but the mysterious figure did not came for the grand auction, he came for someone else.
The mass of voices of merchants calling customers to buy their merchandise or the squabbles of the many lesser races did not bother the figure for he found his contact. He approached a table in the far corner and sat down in front of a shadowy man. This shadowy man's face and body was covered in robes for not attracting unwanted attention. They sat looking at each other for some time until the grand auction started, and while the vast items in the auction were out for sale the two figures began to talk.
"Do you have it?" the first figure asked his contact with a slow deep cold voice.
The second figure the "contact" grabbed a Data-Slate from his robe and he put it on the table and slide it to the first figure. While the first figure was verifying the data, one of his hired gunman started to slowly reaching out to his combat knife behind his back. He then pullout the combat knife and was about to stab the first figure when suddenly before the knife reached the back of the first figure the hired gunman body stopped moving all together. Everybody on that area of the station began to look at the now frozen body of the hired gunman. Then as the first figure stop reviewing the data, he slowly started to lift his head to his contact.
"It seems everything is in order. But before we finish this transaction let me ask you, what did you hope to accomplish by betraying me?" the figure asked in a slow deep cold voice that could pierce the very soul.
His contact in panic try to attack the figure, but he got hit by a spray of acid. And as he started screeching his robe fell of and everyone in the station saw the face of the shadowy man, or rather if he had a face. Before them was a living nightmarish legend known as the Slaugth. While the traitorous Slaugth was being melted alive by the acid, the figure then turn to confront the hired gunman that tried to stab him.
"And you, did you think killing me will be that easy. Well since you failed in your task how about you tell me who hire you. And do me a favor revert back to your real form, no point keep looking like a Mon-keigh" the figure said to the hired gunman and then the human began to change is form to his real self, a Lacrymole.
"There we go isn't this better then being a human, so Lacrymole do you even know who are you trying to kill?" the figure asked the shapeshifter.
The Lacrymole did not answer the figure how could he, he was frozen in his place not not being able to to move. The figure then grabbed the combat knife from the Lacrymole hand and started to move it slowly around his body while all so cutting him.
As the Lacrymole started to bleed out still frozen in his place, the figure started to laugh with a cruel venomous sound, "(laughing noises), you don't know how much joy moments like these brings me. And let me tell you and everybody in this primitive station something to remember about me" the figure then took of the robes that cover him and all the station started to drown in fear and agony. Before them was a massive Drukhari Haemonculus with multiple limbs, the skin of his body was covered in armor but the parts that weren't covering him showed a pale skin tone color, his feet never did touch the floor as he hovered above it and his eyes where dark and empty like the cold void of space. The Haemonculus long razor sharp mechanical tail started to move and strangle the Lacrymole's body with small blades making him bleed even more. And then the Haemonculus started to spread all his twelve back arms to cast a large shadow around the area and he grabbed the Lacrymole's neck with one of his front arms. He then slowly brought the Lacrymole to his face and said to him with pride and malice.
"I am the surgeon of sins and bringer of depravities, I am the master of fear and lord of pain, I am your terror and your demise. For i am Morog'ka!!" then with a split second Morog'ka snap the neck of Lacrymole and with his tail he cut every fiber of his body till the Lacrymole's was but a mutilated corpse.
Everyone on the station started to quiver in fear, they heard about the notorious Drukhari Haemonculus known as Morog'ka but no one ever saw in person, his very presence filled the entire room with chill and dread no one wanted to do the first move, then a loud sound of hands clapping with laughter accompanying them.
"You are late!" Morog'ka said out loud.
The clapping with laughter stopped and in to the room of the grand auction a new figure entered. It was an Apothecary space marine of the traitor legions of the Emperor's Children, his power armor was covered in tattered skin, his head was bald with some grey hair to the sides and he was smiling with a vile smug face.
"I prefer fashionably late. But i see you had some fun while you waited for me" the chaos Apothecary said to Morog'ka with his tainted voice.
"I suppose you are right in that statement even if i was a little bit overkill, still you could have come sooner, not hearing the sound of pain and agony around my workshops is making me hungry. Anyway what brings you to this place, my old friend Fabius Bile" Morog'ka said slowly as he turn around to look at his old friend.
"(Fabius Bile known as the Spider, Primogenitor, Clonelord, Manflayer, Chem-master and to me a friend. We met aeons ago on some planet, we where alike in many ways and we exchange our theories with one another. I did him a favor many years ago and i came to this station to collect on that debt)".
Some time had pass and the grand auction was over, now was the main event, the meeting of the two masters of their craft. The two met in a private room while the rest of Morog'ka hired gun's where guarding the doors to the room and Morog'ka started to talk with Fabius Bile.
"So how are you Morog'ka?, still trying to find some new inspiration".
"I do not care for small talk Fabius, did you do what i asked of you or not?".
The Clonelord set and smile at Morog'ka and told him, "yes i did as you asked and i have in all in here" Fabius said to him while pointing to his head.
"I have no room for jokes Mon-keigh!, where are the coordinates!" Morog'ka yelled at Fabius with his back arms now all aim at the chaos Apothecary.
"Have a little faith my friend, i stored them in my head for safe keeping".
"So Fabius, then the coordinates to my prize are in your head?" Morog'ka asked him.
Fabius nodded is head to him and Morog'ka then said to Bile, "good". Then Morog'ka used his mechanical tail to puncture the space marine and then he grabbed his Stinger Pistol and shoot fabius several times in the body.
After he was done, Morog'ka used his Haemonculi tools to extract his prize from the corpse of the Apothecary, he then grabbed a small communication device and started a new communication link.
"This is Haemonculus Morog'ka calling for the ark of depravity to open the webway gate on the ship, i am ready to come back".
"This is Klaivex Vesro'kal, we are opening the gate, you should be able to teleport to the ark of depravity with your personal webway".
"Good, then we will discuss our next step in the operation the moment i will board the ship. Morog'ka out". Morog'ka then activated his personal webway portal and he left the space station behind to continue his hunt for the unknown prize aboard his flagship the ark of depravity.
ark of depravity-bridge:
The webway portal on the ark of depravity opened and from it the master Haemonculus Morog'ka enter, he then went to the helm of the ship and he grabbed one of his crewman and give him a number of coordinates, "open a webway gate set course to these coordinates, activate the Shadowfield and ready to use the Mimic engines if we will find hostile forces. Now all of you listen up i want to get to this coordinates at once!".
The crew following the orders of their master, they opened a webway portal and enter it. While they travel through the webway, Morog'ka set with impatience waiting to arrive at their destination. Then into the main bridge entered the second in command of the Kabal, Klaivex Vesro'kal.
"My lord i trust your mission was a success".
"Yes Vesro'kal. I found what i was searching for, now lets see if this coordinates will lead us to our mark or i will hunt down that Mon-keigh Bile and i will make him suffer very slowly for 1000 years".
"I thought you killed the human?".
"You underestimate Fabius Bile Klaivex. That wasn't the Clonelord it was his clone. If it was Bile then he would have more forces with him and he would not meet with me alone".
After their small dialogue Morog'ka called one of his lobotomized slaves and give him the Data-Slate he got from the Slaugth he killed on the space station, "take this primitive thing and send the information on it to our fleet" after Morog'ka give him the order the slave went off to do as he was told.
"Lord Morog'ka we have arrived to the coordinates you give us" the ship captain inform his master.
"Very well captain, order the crew to exit the webway and activate the Mimic engines we will continue to travel in Realspace, inform me if you find something".
The ark of depravity then got out of the webway and arrived in an unknown part of the galaxy. The ship travel around the area near the coordinates when the ship came to a halt.
"Captain why did we stopped?" Morog'ka asked his ship captain.
His captain got off from his sit and said to his master, "my lord we found some strange readings in the system".
"What sort of strange readings?".
"Our readings and scans indicate there are nine planetary bodies in this system my lord, but we can detect only four planetary bodies".
"That is interesting, what form of planetary bodies you detected captain?"
"One planetary body is a small barren world in the far end of the system, the other three planetary bodies are a large planet with a sun and moon. And all of them are artificially made".
"Artificially made?, interesting very interesting. Captain send the coordinates to the rest of the kabal and give them an order to build a base of operations with several webway portals on the barren world in the far end of the system".
"Yes my lord at once, all so my lord one of our probes found a webway gate in the planet with the artificially made sun and moon".
"Really, that is strange. I don't recall any webway gates in this parts of space, still this require more investigation. Klaivex Vesro'kal get a host of 30 Warriors made of five Sslyths, ten Wracks, eight Kabalite Warriors, five Scourges, one Mandrake and one Grotesque. Then bring them to the webway portal on the ark of depravity, i will lead them to this planet and investigate this webway gate" Morog'ka ordered his second in command to do while he headed to the webway portal on the ark of depravity.
"What do you want me to do until you return from your expedition? Lord Morog'ka" Vesro'kal asked his master before following his orders.
"I give you command of the ship and the rest of the forces until i return. All so make sure they will finish building the base on that barren world for easy troop deployment" Morog'ka ordered Vesro'kal.
"At once my lord, For BleakHeart!" Vesro'kal said to Morog'ka and he went to gather the troops his master asked for.
Some time later on the ark of depravity, the small force of the Drukhari expedition was assembled and waited for their commander to lead them through the webway portal. Then from the dark corridors of the ship came forth their dark and cruel leader and he said to his host.
"Warriors of the Twisted Heart our main objective is to investigate the area of the webway gate and nothing more. But should we discover any lifeforms that can be of any worth to us, then our secondary objectives will be to take prisoners for our needs. Now then come and let see what the unknown has to offer us, For BleakHeart!"
"For BleakHeart!!!" his Warriors said together with joy.
"Good now open the webway" Morog'ka ordered his crew. And when the dark purple color of their webgate opened, Morog'ka and his host started to depart from the ship and into the unknown planet.
unknown planet-other side of the webway gate:
Within a tall mountain was a long and sharp stone shape as a claw that stood their for ages. But then the stone began to slowly build up strange energies and in seconds a portal was opened. From the portal the Haemonculus Morog'ka and his warhost started to pour out, they began to set up a perimeter around the webway gate while the Scourges went to search the caves ahead. As they were setting the perimeter, Morog'ka looked at the area the portal was built in and the portal itself.
"Why they build a webway gate inside a cave?, this just doesn't make any sense!. A portal of this size need to be in the open not in a cave" Morog'ka try to understand the reason for the portal to be in a close space when he got a call from his patrol.
"Lord Morog'ka" called his patrol leader.
"What is it patrol leader, did you find something?".
"More then that my lord, you need to see this for yourself".
"Very well i am on my way" when the call ended Morog'ka turn to his warhost. "Kabalite Warriors will stay here and guard the webway, Wracks and Grotesque finish setting the perimeter around the portal, Sslyths and Mandrake you with me".
The group began to follow the path the patrol of Scourges used and after an hour they met with the patrol.
"What did you find patrol leader, and it better be good" Morog'ka said to the patrol with anger.
"Well my lord see for yourself" the patrol leader said to their master and escorted him to the cave exit.
As they exit the cave Morog'ka saw before him a blue dark sky and a vast rich land full of life. The sight of this world all most made the Haemonculus feel happy, all most.
"I need to see why our kin build a webway gate in this world, they hid something here and i want to know why" as Morog'ka finish his words, suddenly the Mandrake began to scream and jump from the mountain towards a large forest.
"Damn it!, that is why i hate Mandrakes. Scourges take to the sky track him from above but don't get in the forest, you three Sslyths guard the entrance to the cave and you two with me now!" after Morog'ka give the orders they began the hunt for the Mandrake.
The forest was dark and thick no source of light could enter, the sounds of all forms of animals came from all directions and there was a strange sense of something unnatural watching them all the time. Then another scream of the Mandrake was heard and the group went after the sound, when they found the Mandrake he was on the ground holding something.
"Tell me now you rabid pain in the neck, why i should not just toss you to my workshop!" Morog'ka yelled with cold anger and spite at the Mandrake.
Then the Mandrake got up and slowly turn to the Haemonculus, and in his hands the Mandrake was holding two strange little colored equines with horns and wings that looked like a lesser version of the horses used by the Krieg Death Riders. One of this equines was dark blue like the night sky and the second one was Light fuchsias gray that remind the colors of his craftworld kin, but what was the most strange and bizarre thing about these beasts was when the Mandrake was holding them he was calm and relaxed. Morog'ka had no idea what was happening nor he could explain it but he started to get a strange feeling from his body, it was like of joy and love but with no pain or suffering and with all these emotions the Haemonculus could say only one word, "MORE!".
The now intoxicated Haemonculus began to stretch is arms to take the two colored equines he then regain control over himself and he pull out some sort of syringe with an unknown liquid, he injected the liquid to his chest cavity and he began to calm down.
"I am 750,000 years old, i have more self control then any Drukhari. But why?, why i can't control myself around these beasts of burden!" Morog'ka started to feel a long and forgotten feeling that he hadn't felt in more then 300,000 years, inspiration.
"I need to examine these creatures in my workshop, prepare to take them with us".
But then all of a sudden he started to hear some voices not far from them. "Princess celestia!, princess luna! We need to come back to the castle".
Morog'ka knew that form of language, it was what the Mon-keigh called low gothic. "Humans here?, maybe we could deal with them". As the voices became stronger and closer the small group of the Haemonculus saw what came out from the woods. Seven more little colored equines but only with horns and with armor.
The seven colored equines looked at the four strange monsters in front them and saw that they have the two young alicorns in their claws, the ponies started to pull out spears and swords at the monsters. "Release them at once monsters" one of the ponies said to them.
The Haemonculus looked at the equines and then around them, then he looked at the two smaller equines in the hands of the Mandrake, then he looked back at the equines with horns and armor. After that Morog'ka had something he needed to confirm.
"Where are your Mon-keigh masters?". The Haemonculus asked the equines.
The ponies looked at the large monster with many arms and they started to have a feeling of dread around them, the air began to freeze and the ponies started to tremble. One of the ponies the one who spoke before slowly came forth and asked the Haemonculus, "what is a Mon-keigh?".
"Sorry, you know them as humans" the monster said to him.
The pony looked at him like he have no idea what he was talking about which started to raise more questions than answers for the Haemonculus.
"Can you please give us back our princesses" the pony said with caution to the monster".
The Haemonculus looked at the equine and then on the smaller equines and he said to him, "you mean these two small ones?". The pony nodded his head and Morog'ka then asked him, "what are they?".
"I'm sorry?" said the pony.
"What are these equines?". Morog'ka asked again.
"They are alicorns, they are young but many think they will be very powerful when they grow up and will bring a new era of peace to the land".
"I see". The Haemonculus said as he kept looking at the young alicorns with great interest, then in to his mind came up an idea that made him smile with cruel delight under his mask.
"Then can you give them back to us?" the pony asked the monster.
"Sure i will return them" the Haemonculus said to the pony.
The ponies began to relax and return their weapons, "thank you very much ahhh, sorry i don't really know what you are" the pony said to him.
Without looking at the pony Morog'ka he turn to his Mandrake now looking at the two small alicorn creatures, "to you i may as be a god and don't thank me yet, i said i will return them. But i never said when i will return them".
All the ponies started to look at the monsters with concern when the lead pony ask him, "what do you mean when you will return them?".
"Well to put it in a way you will understand, i am going to take these alicorns and then i will cut and dissect them, after that i will reshape and stitch them back together, and then i will do everything again and again and again and again until i will be satisfied!" Morog'ka said as he started to laugh maniacally none stop.
The ponies just looked at him laughing but one of these ponies lift his spear and charged the Haemonculus, not knowing he just made a mistake that will cost them their life.
All of a sudden the armored ponies began to fall to the ground, unable to move they were forced to watch as the huge many arm monster using two of his back arms that looked like needles coming slowly to their princesses, then he use these needle arms to stab the bodies of both the young celestia and luna and in to the needles blood started to pour in. The ponies wanted to stop him but they could not move their bodies, when they started to hear the monster speaking to them.
"Don't bother, this toxin can paralyse large tyranid bio organisms" while taking the blood samples he started to talk to the ponies in a casual form, "just to clarify i had no intention to experiment on these two. I only wanted their blood, and now that i got what i wanted i have no need for this two. Mandrake they said something about a castle go their and put them close so they could find them. And for you seven equines i think i know what to do with you". Morog'ka went a few steps back and said, "come my birds of prey!".
Then from the sky five winged monsters with long razor spears and dark purple armor landed to the ground, "what will you?" they asked their master.
"Take them back to the portal, and show our new permanent guests their new home".
"As you command" the Scourges said to their master and they grabbed the paralysed ponies and went to the sky in the direction of the portal.
Morog'ka looked to the sky and said to himself, "this world will be a very pleasant. Plaything." and he and the rest of his group began to retreat to the dark portal.
city of BleakHeart-limitless workshop: present:
"After we returned from the expedition; i returned to my workshop with the blood samples and the seven equines. And after i stored the blood samples i started to work on the seven equines with my many tools, it was easy to break them, to easy but i found out about all of their world from social hierarchy to other species that live on the planet; for start they are called ponies like the old human beasts of the past and their race have many sub species, what was more interesting to know was many of them are psykers but they were immune to the taint of chaos. This give me a new idea but to achieve this idea i needed more samples not just of the ponies but of the many races of this world".
"For 150 years i ordered shadow raids on the planet, after every raid more and more prisoners where brought to our forward operations base on the small barren world in the far end of the system now named False Hope. Under the command of one of my top ranking Dracons; many fresh samples where brought to me for experimentation, but after this great 150 years of harvest i called off the raids on the planet and ordered my raid fleet to raid other known systems for more labor and souls. You see i needed the planet population to grow and prosper, and then harvest the cattle. But i had a side project that i was determined to finish, over the years with the blood samples of the two alicorn class ponies and the many other DNA samples of other races from this world and other worlds; i wanted to build a new form of pony that will be in my image. But my dream had to be postpone for 50 years, because of an event that covered the entire world, a Warp Storm".
"After a long 50 years the warp storm had passed, and i decided to return to this world to see in person how things turn up over the years. I ordered the planet to be scanned to see where i should i go first. But in order for this trip to succeed i needed a good disguise, so i started to build myself a disguise that will show to many in this world a new path to fallow".
city of BleakHeart-limitless workshop: 1600 years ago:
In the dark and bloody corridors of the limitless workshop the Incubus Klaivex known as Vesro'kal and two of his Incubi were summoned by their master Haemonculus Morog'ka for what reason they not known. As they enter the workshop of their master they did not see him, they only saw a pale earth class pony that was slightly taller then other ponies. This pony had a barbed tail with a stinger at the end, a sharp black silk like mane and in his back were several dark purple crystals fused to him. Last thing they notice was a strange relaxing fragrant coming from the skin of the pony.
"Slave where is master Morog'ka" Vesro'kal ordered the pony to tell him but the pony said nothing.
"You dare to ignore your masters beast!" Vesro'kal yelled at the pony and was about to cut him with his Venomblade, when he started to hear laughter from the end of the room.
From the end of the room their master Haemonculus Morog'ka came out laughing none stop.
"Hold your hand Klaivex, there is no need to strike this pony host" Morog'ka said to his second in command while laughing.
"Your host my lord?" Vesro'kal asked him.
"Yes my host" the Haemonculus said while moving to the pale pony and presenting him to his Klaivex and the Incubi. "This is...well i still don't have a name for him but i built him to be used with a psychic linked to myself, i all so build in this body many forms of poisons, toxins and Splinter crystals in the back".
"My lord if you don't mind me asking, why?" Vesro'kal asked his master.
"To go and explore the world of the ponies, why else should i build a pony host body. You see i need to see what changed in that 50 years of the warp storm but i want to see it in the eyes of one of the equines to better understand them, and to make them trust me".
"I see my lord. Anyway while you called us one of our probes found a strange and powerful source of energy in the northern regions of the planet, from our readings it is called the crystal empire but if you ask me their land is made of a large city and some military outposts. Another thing to note is the dwellers of this region. The first are the crystal ponies that dominate the region not much is known about them, after them are the umbrum or shadow ponies the former rulers of the crystal empire they are all most extinct with only a less then 20 still alive. They live under the "protection" of the crystal ponies, then we have the snow ponies they are few in numbers and they live in the snow fields east to the empire and are sworn allies of the empire, last and probably the most strange dwellers are the savage ponies of the boreal wastes they are huge ponies half our size and have no form of language and can't use any psychic abilities".
"Well that is fascinating, this region was not part of our raids 200 years ago. How long it will take to travel from the main webway gate of the planet to this region?".
"It will take a week on foot if you use this pony body. My lord, but we can open a dark portal in realspace close to this empire".
"Close to it, why not in it?" Morog'ka asked his Klaivex.
"Well my lord we believe that the unknown energy source in the empire can disrupt our dark portals in realspace" Vesro'kal answered his master.
"A power source that can disrupt Drukhari portal Technology, now i am more excited to test this body. Klaivex come with me to the Bleak throne and you two bring my pony host body, its time to see if my hard work prove to be beneficial".
city of BleakHeart- the Bleak Throne:
The bleak throne, the center of power in the city of BleakHeart, a huge control center of the entire city craft. From there every part of the city is monitored and every decision is made.
To the great central command center entered Morog'ka, Vesro'kal and the two Incubi that carried the pony host body of their master. While they position the pony in the center of the room, Morog'ka went to sit on the Bleak Throne and Klaivex Vesro'kal stood guard next to him.
"Now let us begin the mind link" Morog'ka said as he began to channel his mind to the empty husk.
The body of the pony began to move on its own, and after a surge of dark energy the pony began to stand and move around the central command of the ship.
"My lord, are you well?" Vesro'kal asked his master.
"Why are you looking at my body when i standing over here" a strong, cruel and feminine voice said in the room.
All the Drukhari in the room looked to the center to see the pony husk now full of life and with an aura of dread.
"Well what are all of you looking at?, how do i look?" said the feminine voice.
"Ah my lord, can you hear how you sound?" Vesro'kal asked his master.
"What are you..." Morog'ka then stopped talking and began to look on his new body and hearing his own voice. "Well this is an unexpected development, it appears i am a mare. Oh well no harm done(although i know i put a male reproductive organ)".
"My lord shell i order to open the dark portal to realspace?" Vesro'kal asked him/her.
"Yes yes start the portal Klaivex" Morog'ka said to him while looking to see if he really put a male reproductive organ.
As they open the dark portal, Morog'ka now in the mare body started to smile and said, "let's get started" and he entered the portal.
northern regions-unknown location:
In the frozen regions of the north where no grass grow and the sun did not warm the land, a portal of dark energy was opened and from it came out a pale mare. As the portal began to close the mare started to examine her surroundings.
"Well i made it but i have no idea where in the northern regions i am, not to mention the fact that i have no clue where to start my search with all this snow in the way".
As she began to wander where to begin the search. She started to hear sounds of battle not far from her location. "Well i guess i will start over there" the mare said to herself and she began to go to the sounds of the battle.
The pale mare walked slowly at her own pace since it was hard to get used to this new body, but when she finally got to the location of the battle she saw a lone unicorn with a coat of shadow fighting ten large ponies with a savage look to them. The lone shadow unicorn had no chance against these savages, so she decided to aid the unicorn but not at that moment.
As the battle went on for several minutes the unicorn began to weakened by the use of to much of his "magic" and the very cold temperature of the area. And when he did not notice, one of the savage ponies kicked him in the left side of the body with his stone like frozen hooves. The shadow pony fell unconscious to the ground while the savage ponies began to circle him with the intent to eat him.
"Well i believe it is the time to intervene before they will eat this poor fellow" then the pale mare jumped to the area of the battle.
The savage ponies notice her arrival and began to attack but she was no ordinary pony, she was a body hosting one of the most feared Drukhari to ever live, and even with no Drukhari weapons to use. When Morog'ka build this body he used some of the many samples of deadly poisons and toxins in the galaxy. And before the savage ponies mange to get the mare, they started to slow down and began to kill one another. And while the savage ponies were full of rage and anger from the senseless killing, the crystals on the mare's back began to glow and drain the negative emotions of the savage ponies. When the bloodbath ended, the mare went to the shadow unicorn and used her tail to sting him, from the tail strange liquid came out and the unicorn began to gain consciousness.
"What happened?" the unicorn asked while still half asleep. Then he received an answer from an unknown voice.
"You got hit by this savages, lucky for you i was in the area and decided to save you" the mare said to him with a narcissistic tone in her voice.
"I don't need the help of some peasant...mare" the unicorn looked at the mare that saved him. Her pale look, her black silk mane, the crystals on her back, the long barbed tail she had, the intoxicating scent that came from her and last was her eyes. Eyes that looked like they were gems that were carved just for her.
The unicorn got up and bow to the mare, kiss her hoof and said to her, "my deepest apologies, if i knew my savior is a mare of such beauty i would acted in a different manner".
"Don't apologies, i see within you that you and i are not so different". The mare said to him with a smile full of sharp teeth.
"What do you mean?". He asked her.
"I can sense your dark and deep desires; of hate, fear, control, rage, anger and pleasure. I can help you get all you desire, but only if you wish it". The mare said to the unicorn while walking slowly around him.
"I don't know what you talking about" the unicorn said to the mare while turning his head from her.
"Don't try to deny it, my powers allow me to see deep within your soul and if you want i can teach you how to use such powers" the mare said while circling the unicorn.
"Who are you?" the unicorn asked the mare.
The mare walk to is front and said to him, "you may call me...Venen'um, and what is your name?".
The shadow unicorn give her another bow and said, "my name is Sombra, lady Venen'um".
When they finish introducing each other, a massive blizzard started to form above them. Then sombra said to Venen'um, "lady Venen'um i think it's time to leave this place and return to my home in the crystal empire".
"By all means lead the way" Venen'um said to sombra and they began their journey back to the crystal empire, the only power house in the northern regions.
"(ha sombra, the umbrum pony that later will be known as tyrent king sombra, was a pony that could be consider something like a Drukhari. After i saved him from death, i believe he fell in love with my host body i named Venen'um. Sombra told me about his plans to take control of the empire and i used it to my advantage, when we return to the crystal empire i was consider as a suspicious looking mare but their fool of a leader Princess Amore welcome me with open hooves for saving sombra, and over the next few months i work in to becoming one of the royal advisors but still they did not trust me to see the crystal heart)".
"(then i was told by sombra that Princess Amore will welcome a delegation from the kingdom of equestria, this give me an idea to gain more favor from Amore and her ponies. My plan was simply to earn the favor of the delegation from equestria. It was a simple plan really but when the delegation arrived i was not expecting who were the heads of the delegation)".
the crystal palace-crystal empire-7 months after the first arrival to the northern regions:
In the glimmering shining crystal halls of the crystal palace the members of the crystal court gather and waited for the delegation from the kingdom of equestria to arrive; and among these members of nobility were Princess Amore, prince Sombra and lord Glamhorn of the second noble house of the crystal unicorns and first advisor of Princess Amore.
"I'm so excited to see them again, do you think they all so missed me, oh i can't wait anymore" said Amore with a smile on her face while siting impatiently on her crystal throne.
"Its been only an year since you saw them Princess Amore. And you need to show more restraint, you are the ruler of the empire and they are but a new kingdom; if anything they should be excited to see you" sombra said to Princess Amore in hope she will show some form of authority.
"Sombra equestria are our neighbors and close friends. I hope you will show them some form of respect, or at least try to". Amore advised sombra.
"Speaking of "show", tell me sombra where is that witch you brought with you to the empire?" lord glamhorn asked sombra with a tone of distrust.
"Lord glamhorn!, you may not like Venen'um but she did saved sombra and over the last couple of months she helped us turn the tide against the savage ponies of the boreal wastes. And i hope you will learn to control your attitude" amore lectured her advisor lord glamhorn.
"Don't bother Princess Amore; glamhorn is just afraid i will take his position as first advisor to the crystal throne" said a strong voice full of pride.
They turn to the left door and from there came out the pale mare Venen'um. The crystal guard, the nobles and many of the work staff never stopped looking at her(how could they, when her body emits a strong scent of intoxicating Drukhari drugs).
Venen'um stood next to sombra and said, "so where are this little delegation of what you called them equestria".
"They should arrive any moment, please do us a favor and try not to bother them witch!".
"Don't worry glamhorn, with you around i have no need to bother anypony".
"Princess Amore sigh with exhausted and told them, "i wish you two will get along one day".
"Princess amore with all do respect i don't see that happening" Venen'um and glamhorn said to Princess Amore at the same time.
Princess amore laughed and said to them, "see both of you can find something to agree on".
Then sombra received a message from one of the guards and he delivered it to Princess Amore, "Princess Amore the delegation from equestria has arrived".
"Then by all means, guards let them in" Princess Amore said to the crystal guards.
Following her orders the crystal guards began the open the doors of the castle and into the great halls of the crystal palace entered the large group of ponies from equestria. The guards started to close the doors of the castle and Princess Amore made a small sad face for a split second.
"Tell me sombra why Princess Amore is sad all of a sudden?" Venen'um asked sombra with a whisper.
"Well if you must know Princess Amore have good friends in equestria and she hopped to see them today".
"She is a grown mare she will deal with it, anyway sombra about what we talk about; its ready".
"Good after this meeting we will continue our plan".
While sombra and Venen'um were talking. A burst of wind opened the castle doors and suddenly two large ponies crash into the castle floor. And while they where on the floor they were arguing about something, the entire pony delegation from equestria just faced hoof their face with embarrassment. On the other hoof Princess Amore was laughing none stop seeing them arguing. But only one pony in the room was surprised to see these ponies; it was Venen'um(Morog'ka) that was in some sort of shock, for the ponies he saw were the two young alicorns he met 200 years ago.
Princess Amore down went down to great her friends celestia and luna and to ask them why are they arguing. Venen'um started to feel some of the same intoxication he/she felt all those years. Venen'um then pull sombra to the side and whisper to him.
"Sombra dear, why didn't you tell me that Princess Amore's friends are the alicorns!?".
"Does it matter thay are no threat to our plans. And they will leave after this week".
"We can't wait a week!, we need them to go back to equestria now" Venen'um said to sombra and then looking at glamhorn. "And i know how to make sure it will happened" she said with a vile smile on her face.
"Sombra tell Princess Amore i will need to excuse myself for some time and i will be in my room, make sure to send my deepest regards to the princesses from equestria. Oh and make sure you keep an eye on lord glamhorn for me" Venen'um said to sombra and she left the crystal court.
When Venen'um return to her room she locked the door and then she collapsed on the floor.
On the Bleak Throne in the city of BleakHeart Morog'ka open his eyes and called one of his acolytes; his acolyte bow to him and said, "what do you wish of me? Great pain lord".
"Acolyte i need you to bring me the vial with the modified Glass Plague i was working on, all so bring fifteen wracks and five mandrakes with you, lastly bring the neural enslavement crystal then open a dark portal to this coordinates; i will meet you there with my host body".
"Oh yes, as you command master of the flesh".
The acolyte went to bring what his master requested and Morog'ka closed his eyes once more to preform the link to the host body in the crystal empire.
Back at the room in the crystal empire Morog'ka now awoken in his host body of Venen'um opened her window in the room and with the crystals on her back now . She began to hover in the sky and headed towards the meeting point with the acolyte and his retinue.
Outside the crystal empire somewhere in the boreal wastes Venen'um got to the meeting point and was about to welcome his retinue; when suddenly a voice was heard behind the pale mare. Venen'um smailed and said without turning, "you are far from the borders of the crystal empire, lord glamhorn".
The unicorn lord glamhorn and 30 of his crystal guards started to come out of their hiding spots and with them 20 snow ponies came out from the snow. They surrounded Venen'um with spears, swords and magic. Then lord glamhorn came forth in front of the small force of ponies and confront the pale mare, "i can say the same about you Venen'um, what are you doing in the boreal wastes?".
"Is that a crime to go outside the empire".
"It is if you plan to betray Princess Amore and the crystal empire".
"Last time i checked i can't betray something i am not part of".
"Don't lie to me; i watched you and that cur sombra meet in secret, conspire against Amore to take control of the empire and the crystal heart. But know this what ever you plan it will fail".
After lord glamhorn finished his speech. Venen'um started to turn slowly to glamhorn and the rest of the ponies; when suddenly she began to laugh like an insane pony for a few seconds. Glamhorn and the rest of the ponies did not expect this reaction from the mare.
"(laughing noises)...oh glamhorn that was a great speech truly, i haven't laughed like that in 10,000 years. But tell me pony; how are a group of inferior beings such as you plan to stop me?".
"Last time i checked you are all so a pony and a very insane one".
"Oh you poor little pony, i am insane that is true but i am no pony...(laughing noises)".
Venen'um began to laugh again when suddenly behind her a large dark portal began to open, and from the portal came out strange tall monsters with pale skin and strange unknown tools.
"Ponies!, attack formation!" glamhorn ordered the ponies under his command but there was only silence.
Venen'um stopped laughing and said to lord glamhorn, "i don't think your ponies can help you".
Glamhorn turn around as fast as he can only to look at the horror in front of him. All of the crystal guards and snow ponies that came with him were now eviscerated and torn to pieces, around the corpses of the ponies were more tall monsters but with shadow like skin and long sharp blades. Glamhorn fell to the ground trying to crawl away in fear from the monsters only to be captured by a sharp hook of one of the pale monsters that hit him in the knee bone of his back lag. Glamhorn then started to scream with pain and agony as the monster began to lift the hook while his flesh and muscles started to be torn apart. As blood started to drip out of the leg; Venen'um pull out her serpent like tongue and started to lick the blood while the acid in her mouth burn the wound, glamhorn started to scream even harder with a mixture of tears of pain.
"STOP! PLEASE!... No more! No more!" glamhorn cry with pain.
Venen'um then return her tongue to her mouth and went to a tall pale monster with dark purple robes and took something from him, she then started to open with her tail part of her body and put inside it a strange vial and a sharp dark red colord crystal. Venen'um and the tall monster came back to the now hung upside down unicorn; when the monster began talking.
"Great lord of divine flesh, what do you wish of me to do with this living sample?".
"You know what acolyte i have more things to worry about, so you may take this pony to False Hope and do what ever you what with him, consider it a gift. Just don't kill him".
"Oh thank you my lord and don't worry i will make sure he will stay alive for a very very long time".
Then the Haemonculus acolyte grabbed the hook blade from the wrack and started to drag glamhorn to the dark portal. Glamhorn tried to hold on to the ground but the pain from his leg was to much for him to bear; the Haemonculus acolyte came close to the unicorn and said to him, "there is no reason to resist, where we are going we will have an eternity of fun".
"What what are you monsters!" glamhorn yelled with fear and agony.
Venen'um then came to glamhorn and give him her answer, "we are the Drukhari, we will enslave you, resistance is futile" she said to him but not with her voice; for the voice that came from her mouth was cold,vile and full of dread and malice.
And as the Haemonculus acolyte began to drag him again; glamhorn begged and scream for mercy as they enter the dark portal to the base of False Hope. Venen'um now walking pass her retinue and looking at the borders of the crystal empire while behind them hundred of savage boreal ponies came out from the deep snow. She turn to all of them and said, "come all of you there is mischief to be done!" and they all started to march on to the crystal empire.
"(celestia and luna, why they had to come on that day? Just way?. I wanted them to grow and become powerful then make them mine; but the crystal heart was my new priority and i had to go to plan B; send a huge army to distract the crystal legion and replace sombra's horn with the neural enslavement crystal in order to manipulate his mind without going to the planet)".
"(i won't bother you with the details since i don't really care about you, you are just a slave that is about to die and then i will bring back to life. But i will give you the short version; while the savage boreal ponies clash with the crystal legions my mandrakes enter the castle using the shadows of the ponies, they infiltrated and then killed every guard in the chamber of the crystal heart and the wracks guarded room then i brought sombra to the heart to make him my puppet. But then before i could make him my puppet i was interrupted by someone i never anticipated)".
the crystal empire-30 minutes after the attack on the empire:
While the crystal legions of the crystal empire lead by Princess Amore along with their allies the snow ponies of the snow fields lead by their ice chiefs and some of the equestrian ponies lead by celestia and luna clash with the horde of the savage boreal ponies; inside the walls of the crystal empire sombra and all the shadow ponies that remain awake and not in deep slumber along with some crystal ponies that turn to sombra's side took hold of the crystal palace.
"Lord sombra the palace is ours what is your orders?" one of his guards pony asked him.
"Good work now lets go secure the crystal" but sombra never finish his words because of loud screams that came from the path to the crystal heart.
Sombra and some of his guards went to investigate the source of the screams and as they went along the corridor they saw bloodstains all over the walls, bodies of ponies cut to pieces and at the end of the corridor five tall pale monsters with sharp blades and covered faces. From sombra's shadow came out another monster with dark skin and a very large sword, the monster was about to cut sombra when they heard a familiar voice. "Stop!" the voice commanded the monster and just before the blade cut off sombra's head, he stopped and return to the shadows. Then from a dark portal that open from nowhere came out the pale pony mare Venen'um.
"Venen'um what was that thing!" sombra yelled at the pale pony.
But Venen'um did not return an answer of words, insted she used the sting on her tail on sombra and he fell on the ground paralyzed. His guards were about to attack her but the monsters began to shoot them with glowing green like projectiles and the guards armor and skin began to melt while they scream in agony.
"Take this pony and bring him to the heart, then seal the doors behind us" Venen'um ordered the wracks and they grabbed him to the crystal heart chamber.
chamber of the crystal heart:
Inside the crystal heart chamber the floor was full of the blood of dead crystal guards and all around the room were the wracks and mandrakes of the Drukhari retinue were guarding and puting strange tubs on the crystal heart. Venen'um ordered the wracks to put sombra near the heart and she began to remove half of sombra's unicorn horn with the help of the wracks, then she used her tail to open part of her body to remove the vial and the sharp dark red colord crystal. She then put the dark red crystal on his half horn and with her tail she injected the liquid in the vial into sombra's heart and reattach his horn. Venen'um then went back and looked at the crystal heart; the heart was full of psychic radiance that could fuel his kabal for aeons.
"Begin the negative transfusion" Venen'um ordered.
The wracks began to start a machine called the amplifier of negativity and all over the room sounds of horror, misery and pain. The sounds began to resonate with the crystal heart and sombra, they slowly began to change into a much more darker and vile looks of their former selves. Sombra's horn began to curve and change to a red color, his teeth began to sharpen like fangs and his eyes turn green and started to glow with a purple color. The crystal heart started to change into a pure jet black color.
While Venen'um was looking at the process of the negative transfusion she started to hear the sound of something rolling to the room, she looked at the ground and saw five Haywire grenades. Before she could react the grenades explode causing the amplifier of negativity to stop working. The negative transfusion stopped and the crystal heart began to emit uncontrolled psychic energy and after only seconds a psychic wave erupted and destroying all Drukhari units and machinery along with half the crystal palace.
city of BleakHeart- the Bleak Throne:
In a swift moment Morog'ka opened his eyes and went to a state of rage, he began smashing and killing the slaves and some Drukhari. Then he yelled with untold rage that no one in his army ever saw him.
"This close!, I WAS THIS CLOSE!" Morog'ka started to yell in anger that was heard all over the Bleak Throne. "seven months i spend in that damn stupid inferior body, FOR NOTHING".
"My lord are you ok?, what happened?" Vesro'kal asked his master.
Suddenly Morog'ka snap at his second in command and began to strangle him with his tail.
"Does it look like i am fine Klaivex!, my host body and the entire retinue just died from a psychic shockwave cuased by Haywire grenades!" Morog'ka yelled at Vesro'kal and then thrown him at some Incubi.
Vesro'kal stood up with the rest of the incubi and said to his master, "Haywire grenades, so the reason of this sabotage was because either our craftworld kin or other Drukhari".
"No Vesro'kal, i believe the ones responsible for this are the Rillietann of Cegorach".
city of BleakHeart-limitless workshop: present:
"After what happened i ordered that the only operations on the planet will be surveillance, and i began to watch all of what transpired on the planet from afar. But is needed to work on something else; i needed to resume "project Druh-KAR-ee-quus". And all so check if we had a breach in the secure webway, knowing that the followers of the Laughing God where here was a problem. I never liked or trusted the Harlequins and if i will find where they came from i will personally go to the warp and feed their souls to slaanesh!".
Then to the limitless workshop entered one of Morog'ka's acolytes, "my lord of flesh".
"What is it acolyte, i have many things to do".
"Well my lord, i am afraid to tell you that subject '2745009' opened a webway portol to that pony planet, again".
If Morog'ka had eyebrows they will twitch with anger. He turn to his acolyte now his body casting a massive shadow all over the room and he said to the acolyte very slowly, "so why are you still here? AND NOT SENDING A RETRIEVAL TEAM!".
"I am sorry my lo" but before the acolyte finish to talk, Morog'ka rip his head off and eat his soul.
Morog'ka then opened a communication link to his second in command, "Klaivex Vesro'kal prepare a pattern 8 retrieval team and go with them to the pony planet and bring back subject '2745009' at once!".
"Yes lord Morog'ka, as you command".
"And Klaivex, you are allowed to use lethal means if she resist".
"Understood pain lord".
The communication link stopped and Morog'ka started to tear apart the dead acolyte in rage. when he stopped his mad rampage he looked at the floor and said.
"Sooner or later Vilelust'ra, i will make sure you understand that you cannot defy your creator".
equestria-everfree forest clearing:
Outside the road to ponyville a tall cloaked pony mare was runing up to a point she saw a wooden sign with the words "welcome to ponyville". she then looked at the town ahead and said, "well i made it, now lets see if i can find her". And she began to walk to ponyville not knowing of her pursuers.
ponyville:
It was a beautiful day in the town of ponyville, ever since the battle of the bell the town became a large spot for tourists and many business ponies, but among all of those things that made ponyville such a special place was the fact that here lived the heroes of equestria known as the elements of harmony; six mares that against all odds manage to defeated enemies far stronger then them for harmony and friendship. if only they knew about what is coming to their peaceful lives.
Around the town marketplace another known hero was walking in the streets; it was the young dragon spike doing some grocery shopping for twilight sparkle, that he consider her more like an older sister then a friend. while he was walking he suddenly hit something and fell to the ground with all of his groceries.
"I'm so sorry are you ok?, i didn't see you, i hope you are not hurt" said a worried feminine voice.
Spike got up and said, "its fine i'm ok how about you?, are you hurtttt" spike was trying to say but as he looked up at the source of the voice he saw a very tall unicorn mare that was covered by a cloak.
"Let me help you gather all of this from the floor, i insist" the mare said to spike with a much more calm voice.
She began to help spike gather all the fallen groceries from the floor, and while they were gathering the groceries spike notice the mare didn't used her magic to grab them.
"Thanks for the help, by the way my name is spike. whats yours?" spike asked her.
And as they finish getting all the groceries from the floor she said to him, "my name is...Vil, my name is Vil. nice to meet you spike".
"Well thanks but i need to finish the shopping for twilight before she returns from the school of friendship".
"Hold on twilight, as in princess twilight sparkle. you know her".
"Of course i know her, i am her number one assistant. well i need to get going it was nice to meet you Vil".
Spike began to leave when suddenly the unicorn mare was standing in his way, "say spike how about we make a deal. i will help you with carrying all these bags of groceries and you will introduce me to the princess of friendship".
Spike was skeptical at first but agreed to the mare's proposal and they continued with the shopping.
everfree forest:
Meanwhile at the deep parts of the everfree, a dark portal was opened and from it came out four Hellions and one Beastmaster. they looked and searched the area for their prey. when suddenly they received an order from their leader.
"This is Archon Vesro'kal, i am with the pattern 8 retrieval team on route to the target. beastmaster you and your hellions job is to lure the target without confronting her directly".
"Understood my lord, i all ready have a plan to lure her out" the beastmaster said with a smile.
Then before the portal closed a large monster started to come out with pure rage in it eyes. the beastmaster stood on his Skyboard and started his natural link on the monster and said, "come my beast!, the hunt begins!". the monster then began to roar and ran to its target.
