I do not own Warhammer. I only own my OC
Guest reviews:
Guest 1-2: thanks for the compliment I also thank you for not being an #% about telling me that my grammar could use some work. But this is why I do this to work on my grammar(despite my ADHD) while giving you guys a story that you can kind of follow to a point where you know what's going on. But I am one piece to a hole of a good story maker, case in point I don't have a friend that is good at editing but God willing I will find that friend soon. Thanks for giving my story a look.
Guest 3-5: Yea me too, am at that point in the story where it kind of writes itself you know. And don't worry I don't give up on stories I may take very long brakes from them sure but I do not give up on them. I did not notice it my mind autocorrects.
"We are ashamed of our Primarch. He has torn the galaxy apart allowing injustice and disorder to run rampant. It is only fitting that we would be the ones to try and put it back together again." Leonidas Chapter Master of the Sons of Liberty
Wolfgang's eyes slowly opened then closed then opened. He slowly moved his head trying to get a sense of where he was. He felt like he was floating in a clear blue like liquid. There was a mask over his mouth pumping in oxygen allowing him to breath. It was a little hard to see out of the liquid his eye still felt heavy and they had yet to adjust to the liquid.
Wolfgang could see figures moving around him, but he could not make out what they looked like. One of the figures that were moving around was much taller than the rest. This one was moving around him the most. Moving over to a table then coming back then leaving for a moment before coming back.
Wolfgang tried to move but he only managed to lift his arm slightly.
"I would refrain from moving Preserver." A voice said to him. "You have over fifty lacerations, second degree burns, and you have lost a lot of blood."
Wolfgang only nodded as he could not speak.
"Good." The voice paused for a moment before continuing. "I am required to ask if you gave any information to your captors."
Wolfgang shook his head.
"Will you submit to a psyker looking into your mind to confirm your answer?"
Wolfgang nodded.
A few moments later Wolfgang made out another figure approaching him. This one was smaller than the one asking him questions. Soon he felt a tug on his mind, knowing that left unguided this person would step on one his mental minefield. Wolfgang began to guide the presence in his mind through the minefield allowing access to his mind. When the presence entered his mind it began to search his recent memories. Why he did not activate the Cole protocol and his interrogation. Finding the answer to its question the presence left his mind.
The smaller figure nodded to the larger figure.
"The Psyker has confirmed your answer." The larger figure said. "If you can, I suggest you sleep. It would speed up your recovery time."
Wolfgang nodded and closed his eyes.
The Apothecary watched as Wolfgang closed his eyes and fell asleep. The Apothecaries of the Sons of Liberty wore white power armor. their left shoulder pad was red and bore their chapter crest while their other arm had their markings of a Apothecary. Like other marines of the chapter his knee guards were blue and had his rank on one and his company number on the other.
He took a look at his medical scanner that was keeping track of Wolfgang's vitals. Seeing that everything was in order he set the scanner back down and went to his other patients.
Five of them were children, one Imperial marine, and a another Preserver that was found in stasis onboard the dropship. One of the children was a Psyker, he only did a basic check up on her before letting the ship's Psykers give their own inspection. The other kids checkups only bared scrapes and bruises, lucky considering were they came from, but he was going to send them a psychologist just to make sure that there was no mental damage from the Dark Eldar.
The imperial marine on the other hand was another case entirely. Being from the Black Dragons the marine was bigger than your average marine. The Gene-Seed of the chapter had a defect that caused certain marines of the chapter to develop blade-like outgrowths of bone on their head and forearms. Unfortunately this marine had his blade-like outgrowths of bone removed by the Dark Eldar. Fortunately the Apothecary had equipment on hand to grow new ones for him and make them better than they were before.
"Brother Black Dragon are you ready?" The Apothecary asked the Black Dragon Chaplain.
The Chaplain nodded and stood up and went into the operating room to have his blade bones replaced. Normally when working on a space marine the Apothecary would personally see to them, but he had other tasks that need his attention more. Besides that was what surgeons were for.
The Apothecary made his way to a bed in the back of his medbay, their lay his Eldar patient/prisoner. Apparently the Eldar Vanator took this one from the Eldar Battleship. The Apothecary was surprised when a Eldar Vanator brought her into the medbay, mainly because they never took prisoners unless it was a mission objective or if they gave up. Given the mentality of combatants they went up against, then coming back with prisoners that gave up was almost unheard off.
The Eldar herself was strapped down to the bed with iron laced leather cuffs. Even Space marines could not break these cuffs, so she wasn't going anywhere without an escort.
"Mmmm… active brain waves." The Apothecary said as he scanned the Eldar's brain. "This much activity would suggest she is conscious." He put down his scanner and examined the Eldar's face looking at the large bruise that was left by the Eldar Vanator's punch.
"Telepath Livena I require your psychic expertise." The Apothecary called.
The telepath made her way over to the Apothecary.
Livena was one of the ships psykers, well one of the top psykers on the ship, her job is to deliver and receive telepathic messages as well as any other task that requires a psykers presence. Her hair was blond and hid her ears. Her eyes were a glowing blue, do to her psychic powers. Her face was unmarked and she had very smooth skin that seemed to reflect the light. She wore a black jacket with a green under shirt and black jeans.
"How can I help you Erick?" Livena asked.
Not bothering to even look at her, Erick gestured to the scanner that he had set down. Livena sighed and went over to pick up the scanner. She looked over the brain wave for a moment before she realized what she was seeing.
"Her brain is psychically active."
"Yes as I thought. But that begs the question. Where is her mind?" Erick said applying a type of wax to the Eldar's bruise.
"Let me try something." She said closing her eyes letting her senses reach out into the room.
Livena felt the presence of everyone in the room. She felt their emotions, she heard their thoughts like faint whispers. But then she felt something she had not felt in a long time. she felt a bond, and not just any bond this was the groundwork of a soul bond and it was getting stronger with each passing moment.
Livena pushed all of the other sensations aside and focused on the bond. The feeling that the bond gave off only became stronger as she zeroed in on it.
"There you are." She whispered to herself.
Livena opened her eyes to see a sort of tether attached to the Eldar. She traced the tether down room and into the tank that held the injured Preserver in it.
Livena eyes shot wide at what see was seeing. This Eldar had a bond with the preserver and she was currently in his mind doing Isha knows what. Livena ran over to the Eldar and placed her hand on the Eldar's head and began to block the connection.
Moments later the Eldar's eyes shot open.
*Earlier*
Lanasya was sitting on a green hill on a planet she did not recognized. Near her was the Mon-keigh walker and her pilot, who was sitting on her upper hull. They were talking in the Mon-keigh's "English" language.
Ever since that Mon-keigh marine knocked her out she had been in this Mon-keigh's memories. She had discovered this when she tried to interact with the world around her only to find that she could not move anything or anyone. She was like a ghost, their, but unable to do anything.
So since she could not stay too far away from the Mon-keigh, and she could not understand what anyone was saying she just sat in their general area. She had gone to the warlocks like the Farseer had advised and learn how to access her… Bondmate.
The thought still disgusted her.
But she had only learned how to get into his mind, however that was where she lost control of what would happen. It could be anything from seeing a memory, like she was doing now, establishing a mental connection so that she could talk to him mentally, or making him see a memory.
Suddenly the area started to shake and become staticky. Lanasya jumped up and looked to the Mon-keigh to see him still talking to his walker like nothing was going on. Soon the world collapsed around her and now was as dark as the void of space.
Her eyes opened to see a Mon-keigh marine standing over her looking at her. She tried to get up but she soon found that she was bounded to the bed she was lying on.
"What is this?!" she demand as she pulled against her bonds.
"Calm yourself Eldar. Struggling will not help you current predicament. Besides there is nowhere for you to go." The marine said grabbing a device from a table beside her bed.
"It would appear that it worked." A new voice said.
Lanasya looked at the new person walking into her view. A female Mon-keigh with blond hair and glowing blue eyes.
"Now that you're awake we can get you out of the medbay." She said smiling.
"Yes I would say she is good to go." The white armored Marine agreed.
Nodding the female Mon-keigh went to the base of the bed and looked to be pushing something into the terminal that was built into the bed. She then started to walk away. Suddenly the bed jerked then started to follow the female Mon-keigh.
The doors to the medbay opened allowing them to exit and proceed down the large hallway. The other Mon-keigh crew men and women made way for them as she walked down the hall. Some of the passing Mon-keigh looked at Lanasya as they passed by, but to her surprise they did not look at her with hate. Something she had come accustomed to when in the presence of their lowly race. No instead they look at her with a face of pity, like she had been living in the care of the Drukhari for her entire life. The Mon-keigh leading her came to an elevator and waited for the door to open.
"Where are you taking me?!" Lanasya demanded.
The female Mon-keigh made no move to acknowledge her.
"Answer me!"
"Be silent child." The Mon-keigh said to her still looking at the door.
"Child! the only child here is you!" Lanasya returned angrily.
"Oh, then how old are you child?" She asked calmly.
"225 years." Lanasya said proudly.
"Hump, got you beat by two hundred years." The Mon-keigh said smiling at her.
"What! No you lie Mon-keigh don't live that long!"
The Mon-keigh only looked at her and pulled back her hair to reveal her ears. Lanasya's eyes shot wide, her ears were pointed.
"You are a Eldar." Lanasya said bewildered.
"Yes and no I am a hybrid." She said with not a care in the world. (I promise I will explain this later for now D&D breeding logic)
"That's-"
"Impossible? Believe me it is very possible," The Eldar hybrid said cutting her off. "You would be surprised to see how my Eldar and human Hybrids their are back home. "
"No you lie you must be some kind of trick to get me to-" Lanasya said but the Eldar hybrid cut her off.
"It's not a trick. There are around six thousand people onboard this ship, three hundred are marines, around a thousand are civilians, and the rest are crew hands. Around two hundred of the last two are Eldar."
It was at this time the door to the elevator opened to reveal the towering presence of a Sons of Liberty Chaplain. The Chaplains of the Sons of Liberty chapter wore black power armor with their left shoulder guard being blue with a white outline, the same shoulder bore the Chapter crest. Their right shoulder held their identification as a Chaplain (If the skull helmet wasn't a dead giveaway) a large skull took up the majority of their right shoulder. Their left knee guard was red while the other was black, their right knee guard had their company number. While the left remained blank.
The Chaplain had his skull helmet attached to his belt as well as his Crozius Arcanum. The Chaplain looked down at the two and smiled.
"Ah, Telepath Livena I see you have the Eldar prisoner that the Eldar Vanators brought. On your way to interrogation?"
"Yes I am. It's good to see you Chaplain Markus." The now named Livena said back smiling.
"And you as well Telepath, I was on my way to medical to see if the Eldar was awake and check up on that Black Dragon Chaplain. How is he by the way?" The Chaplain asked crossing his arms.
"He is in surgery."
"I see. Well then allow me to accompany you to the Interrogation room." He said stepping aside allowing the two to enter the elevator.
The two started to converse in English most likely they were talking about how they were going to torture her.
"I still don't understand why you have not applied for that promotion, you are more than qualified to be a Soulseer." Markus said to Livena
"I know but if I do get promoted then I might get transferred because the ship already has a Soulseer." Livena defended.
"That is no excuse to deprive yourself of such an honor."
Livena sighed. "I will think about it. Has the Captain said what were to do next?"
"Yes he has. Where are to proceed to Uncle's then back to Reach."
"Back to Reach? We still have two years left of deployment before were suppose to switch out with one of the other Battle Barges."
"True but the Captain feels that we should return the Preserver back to Reach… this does not leave this elevator." He said looking at Livena, who nodded. "The Preserver is a Rose and his father wants him back."
Livena cocked an eyebrow. "Ok he is a Rose so what?"
"I see you have not read the news as of late. Turns out that Lord Rose and Lord Steiner made a deal that involves our Preserver we rescued."
"And that is?"
The Chaplain was about to speak when the doors to the elevator opened and a few more Mon-keigh stepped in. They greeted the two escorting Lanasya and made their way to the back of the elevator. Her two escorts stopped talking after the other Mon-keigh entered. The door to the elevator soon opened again and her two escorts started to head out the door, Lanasya's bed following close behind. They soon came to a another door which opened when they stood in front of it allowing them to enter.
"Here is what's going to happen Eldar we are going to undo those restraints and you are not going to try and escape when we do. For there is nowhere for you to run to." The Mon-keigh Chaplain said to her before he started to undo her restrains.
When the marine was done Lanasya sat up and threw her legs over the edge and stood.
"Good, now please take a seat." The Chaplain ordered gesturing to chair in the center of the room.
This integration room was pretty much the same design as the one on the Mon-keigh's drop ship. A single light suspended from the ceiling, two chairs and a table in the middle. Lanasya walked over and took a seat, while the Eldar Hybrid hit a few buttons on the bed she used to be on. When she was done the bed left the room by itself.
Her two escorts then walked to the other side of the chair.
"So who's going to do the instigation?" the Chaplain asked in English.
The Eldar Hybrid held up her fist. To which the Chaplain smiled and held up his fist to be level with hers. The two then shook their fist up and down three times before their hands shot into motion. The Chaplain extended two fingers while the Eldar hybrid flattened hers.
"I guess I win." The Chaplain smirked, then took a seat.
"Good arbites bad arbites?" Livena asked.
"Sure why not, I'll be good."
"That's a first." Livena smirked before she walked over to Lanasya and stood behind her.
The Chaplain then looked to Lanasya. "So how about we start with a name."
Lanasya did not say anything.
The Eldar behind her slammed her hand on the table, making Lanasya jump.
"He asked you a question!" Livena growled at her while getting in her face.
"Lanasya of Craftworld Ulthwé." She said a tad bit surprised from the sudden change in the Eldar's mood.
"So Lanasya how did you meet the Preserver known as The Wanderer?" The Chaplain asked politely.
Once again Lanasya did not answer.
"Look I can make your stay here very pleasant, Livena here can make your stay very unpleasant. But in the end it is up to you." The Chaplain said leaning back in his char.
"He killed a demon that was after me." Lanasya said reluctantly.
"I see. Did he tell you anything about the planet know as Reach?"
"Yes, but only the history."
"How much History?" Livena hissed.
"Only how it came to be and a few wars that took place there."
"I see." The Chaplain said writing something down on a piece of parchment. "What do you think of the Preserver?"
"He is a fifty Mon-keigh!" Lanasya blurted out.
To her surprise the Chaplain chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Lanasya growled.
"Your blushing." The chaplain said laughter dancing in his eyes.
"No I'm not!" Lanasya protested standing up only to have her legs kicked out from underneath her causing her to fall back into her chair.
"Yes you are child stop being a brat!" Livena hissed at her.
"If I were a betting man I would say that you like him." The Chaplain said putting his elbows on the table and bring his fingers together in front his mouth.
"I do not!" Lanasya delighted slamming her right hand on the table.
"I bet she want his dick so bad." Livena said from behind her.
Lanasya shot up from her chair. "I WOULD NEVER-"
Lanasya soon found a fist flying towards her. She hit the ground hard knocking over her chair as she went down. She pushed herself up from the ground only to be forced back to the floor with Livena's foot on her face.
"Look here you little brat the only reason you are still alive is because you have a bond with the Preserver. If we were to kill you it might hurt him and we can't risk it because Lord Rose will have our asses, so you best start answering our questions before we really do torture you. DO. I. MAKE. MYSELF. CLEAR?"
Lanasya nodded her head hatred still on her face.
Livena then removed her foot from the side of Lanasya's head, sat the chair back up and threw Lanasya back into it.
*Five hours later*
The Black Dragons Chaplain slowly opened his eyes. He was in the Medbay of the Sons of Liberty's battle barge, and he had just gotten out of surgery. He slowly sat up the room was slightly spinning but it soon wore off.
"I see you are back on your feet brother Black Dragon." The Sons of Liberty Apothecary said walking in to the Chaplains line of sight.
"Yes. Was the operation a success." He asked hopefully.
The Apothecary nodded. "It was. Go on test them out."
The marine looked as his hands then willed his bones to push out his bladed bone like he had done so long ago. Bonelike blades shot out of the marines arms extending a good four feet.
A smile appeared on the marines face.
"I'm going to need a name before I clear you for active duty again." The Apothecary said taking up a holopad.
"Active duty?" The marine questioned.
"Yes, The Preserver, whose name is Wolfgang by the way, put a recommendation in for you to join the Chapter or him as a crew member. You are free to choose which one you want or decline both, but should you decline you should know that we can't allow you to return to your Chapter as It would create… Problems for Reach and its people." The Apothecary said waiting for the Chaplain's answer.
The Chaplain was silent for a moment. "My name is Omael. To answer your question I know too little about your Chapter to make a clear decision."
"That is a common answer." The Apothecary said he then walked over to a console and tapped a small circular device just above it. moments later a holographic human kid appeared.
"Yes Apothecary how can I help you." The construct asked.
"Yes Nick I need you to guide the Brother Omael here to the Librarian. He wishes to gain knowledge of our Chapter's history."
The construct known as Nick looked at Omael before smiling and saying. "I would love to. Please Chaplain Omael follow me."
Nick then appeared next to the door that exited the medbay. Omael got up and followed the hologram through the ship. As he went Omael noticed that some of the crew members that walked by looked a little like an Eldar, but still had human features. Omael shock his head pushing the matter to the back of his mind.
Omael also noticed that this ship was… cleaner, for lack of better words, than warships of the Imperium. There were no dark place that he could see for the ship was well lit, no purity seals mounted in mass against a wall, or mechanicus skulls in every spot that could hold one.
Their were also no servo skulls flying around either, the closet thing being theses claw like drones that had a single eye in the middle of the chassis but he had only seen a few. There also was a lack of servitors on the ship. The few machinery that Omael caught glimpses of were manned by a normal human at a console, or looked to be automated.
The whole atmosphere of the ship just felt… happier then the ships he had been stationed on.
The two eventually came to a large set of double doors.
"Here is the library I have already called the Librarian in he should be waiting for you inside." Nick said before disappearing.
Omael looked at the doors for a moment before he pushed the doors open and walked in. The library was huge, with two levels and long rows of bookshelves and a large open spot in the middle allowing readers to sit while they read.
As soon as he walked in he quickly spotted the Librarian who was standing on the far side of the library. His armor was mainly a light blue his left shoulder being red and barring the Chapter crest. While his knee guards were white and held his company number and rank.
The Librarian looked over at him and gestured him to a table. Omael walked over to the metal table and took a seat. The metal chair creaked under his weight but held. The Librarian walked over to him and took a seat opposite of him.
"I am told you wish to know more about the Chapter." The Librarian said his voice deep and full of wisdom.
Omael nodded.
"Well that would you like you know?"
"Everything." Omael said sternly using his Chaplain voice.
The Librarian let a slight chuckle escape his throat. "The Preserver told you the history of the planet Reach correct."
"Yes but I suspect he left of important things."
The Librarian nodded. "Most likely… I will started with how the original ten companies ended up on Reach. listen closely for I am going to go kind of fast. You see during the Great Crusade five warships entered the Warp but did not end up at their intended destination. These ships crashed into other ships that were lost in the warp and soon collided with one another soon creating a space hulk."
"The Marines on board the ship attempted to pull their ships out of the hulk but with them being in the Warp it was nearly impossible to do so. Not knowing how long they would be stuck in the Warp all the marines went into stasis only the commanding marines staying out to watch over their sleeping brothers."
"Many years later the hulk exited the Warp in front the Reach. But what was years for them in the Warp had been a hole millennia in the materium. When the people of Reach boarded the hulk they soon came across the marines that were watching over their sleeping brothers. Due to a misunderstanding the two sides exchanged shots with one another until one of the boarding party's member was able to broker a ceasefire allowing the marines and people from Reach to talk."
"A agreement was made. The people of each would help pull apart the Space hulk and help fix their ships, while the marines would land on the planet and help clear out dangerous animals allowing for more expansion."
"A few years went by and the first ship of the hulk was pulled out, but with no large spaceport to fix it repairs were very slow. It was at this time they allowed the scientist of the Reach to study their technology to see if they could find a faster way to fix it."
"Unbeknownst to the marines a Preserver had returned from his mission with a large cash of information about the Imperium. After Durzo reviewed the information he determined that Reach would not survive without the Space Marines support. So he made a plan, he needed to get the Space Marines on the space hulk to like Reach and its people. So he built them, what would now be called, a fortress-monastery allowing them to live on the planet. Thus it allowed the marines to see how the people of Reach lived."
"The following years saw some of the marines spending time with the people of Reach, in the form of combat exercises and going to drink at the bars. Soon the leader of the marines, by the name of Leonidas, asked the council if he could start drawing initiates from Reach's population. The council was going to deny Leonidas' request but Durzo persuaded them to allow it."
"The following years gave way to two new companies made from the population of Reach, as well as the repair of one of their battle barges. Leonidas and three companies of marines boarded the warship and head back to Imperium space, despite Durzo's advice against it."
"The Marines that left came across a planet under siege from Chaos when they went to join the fight they found themselves under fire from both Imperium and Chaos forces. Despite this the marines were able to push back the forces of Chaos and fend off the Imperium at the same time. When it was over they returned to their battle barge only to be attack by a inquisitorial fleet, along with a battlefleet of Imperial Fists. Having nowhere else to go they returned to Reach to find out just what had happened to their Imperium and why they were attacked."
"When the warship returned Leonidas went straight to Durzo and demanded if he knew about the status of the Imperium. We don't know exactly what Durzo and Leonidas said to each other but Leonidas came out furious. He then called back all of the marines on Reach to their fortress-monastery, then he informed all of the Marines present that their Primarch had betrayed the Emperor."
Omael's eyes shot wide. "You mean to say that the marines that first came to Reach were from a traitor legion?"
"Before they became the Sons of Liberty, the original marines were called the Luna Wolves."
So the Sons of Liberty are from the Luna Wolves of the great crusade bet you did not see that coming. Bet that quote makes sense now doesn't it.
let's shoot for one reaction to the twist ending.
Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter, see you guys next time.
God bless and have a nice day.
