RWBY 40k – Salem, Immortal Empress of the Imperium.

[Theme: Shingeki No Kyojin Opening 1].

A symbol of a Salem's father kingdom flag could be seen on a wall.

"They're the prey and we're the hunters!"

The symbol is destroyed by an explosion, revealing the title "Salem, Mistress of the Inquisition" with under it written in gold "The Great Crusade", behind the title was the flag of the Imperium with the two eagles.

"And we're the hunters!"

The camera goes away a little of the title before turning to the stars.

"Gods ignorant of the trampled flower's name, the bird that fell from the stars takes her by the wind."

The next scene shows Salem marching on the land after leaving a grave. Her clothes changing from Remnant clothes to the Imperium's clothes. Her sons join her march, appearing one after another with their own family. All of their faces are serious.

"Even if you pray, nothing will be changed."

The next scene shows a horde of Orks marching inside a ruined human city. Followed by another scene of a Chaos Daemon incursion coming from a gigantic eye in the sky.

"But that which can alter the present is the resolution to fight."

An army of Luna Wolves is present inside of a courtyard with the flags of the Imperium. A cut shows them making the salute. The third cut shows them drawing their swords. The fourth cut shows them launching themselves at the Orks.

"Tramping over corpses, swine who mock the will to advance."

The next scene shows rapid images of the Imperium Propaganda against Xenos like Orks, Eldars, Rangda, Psybrids and other Xenos.

"Peace of the cattle and the prosperity."

Scene showing walls of human cities by explosion of the enemy artillery, with the middle showing the symbol of the Imperium.

"The freedom of the dead, hungry eagle."

The next scene shows Salem blasted away by the explosions shocked but composing herself in the next second.

"Our caged humiliation signals the start of our retaliation. Beyond the worlds, we're hunters that slaughter our prey."

Horus, Fulgrim and Magnus runs at the Orks and destroys them with the help of their Astartes while using their powers against them. Horus especially kills a Warboss.

"As these surging surges burn away our bodies, we ignite the dusk with a crimson bolter and bullet!"

The next scene shows the ramparts of a Hive City defended by both Rogal Dorn and Perturabo. Perturabo activates a cannon that he controls to destroy the Orks in his way. The next cut shows Sanguinius and Horus defending themselves against Xenos who towered at their same height, with heads resembling lumps atop their round torsos. Possessing long and thick arms with in the end three stubby fingers. The next scene shows Salem with her silver armour running and charges with her blood katana against a Bloodletter followed by a fading of the Imperium flag floating.

"And we're the hunters!"

The scene shows an Astartes running in slow-motion on an Ork. The next scene shows the Primarchs exiting their barges along with their Legion. In front the silhouette of the Emperor also running.

"And we're the hunters!"

In front of the coming army, a gigantic horde of Orks. And the overlapping army of Astartes coming to them. Before chaining with images of fight of Guardsmens against Xenos, Astartes against Xenos and the four silhouettes deep inside the warp accompanied by their daemons.

"And we're the hunters!"

Inside the overlapping images, the Brothers Gods are present, looking with contempt the guardsmens facing them. The next cut shows the map of the Galaxy covered by the blood along with the apparitions of uncountable names of different human planets.

The last three cuts show Salem, the Primarchs and the Emperor in their armour.

As the music reaches its final part, Salem, the 20 Primarchs along their whole family could be seen on a mountain gazing to the stars with their back turned from the camera.

[End of the theme and the generic].

Ep 69: A bitter marriage.

(Note: I rectified the date of marriage at 962.M30 because if not, it means that two years passed before the marriage).

962.M30. Terra. Imperial Palace.

Huge fleets surrounded the planet, thousands and thousands of vessels were assembled while a lot of people arrived in the fridges of the Imperial Palace or even inside: settling themselves inside of the hostels or even inns of the city.

Because in a few days, the marriage will finally happen for the Imperium. Since the news spread in the whole territory. A lot of nobles, planetary governors and important people from all over the Imperium has come.

Inside of the Sanctum, Salem was trying the different robes with her different maids.

She was dressed in a white robe filled with jewels with an underrobe who is also white. Her hair is assembled in a braid filled with lily flowers. She has round earrings with emeralds inside of the holes. Her sleeves are decorated with flowers symbols with eye symbols on the petals. On the chest, a symbol of Eagle with a single head was on it with wings surrounding an eye while its claws surround a representation of a galaxy with 8 branches.

Maid: "It's that sufficient for you, my lady?"

Salem: "… Convenient."

Maid 2: "It please you?"

Salem: "I think so… The rest was too much or not enough."

Maid 3: "We will tell the Emperor."

The maids take out the marriage robe from Salem's body, the lady dressed back in her usual black and red gown. But she guarded her braid with the lilies.

She exited the room and goes inside of her private quarters. She goes inside of one of her private living rooms. But to her surprise, there is Ezekiel waiting for her, sited on one of the sofas.

Salem: "Oh… Ezekiel."

She sited at her turn beside her.

Ezekiel: "Nice braid I see."

Salem: "I guarded it since I like it."

Ezekiel: "It will be only 3 days left."

Salem: "I know…"

Ezekiel: "Why it should be like it?"

Salem: "I am sorry Ezekiel… But this is for my children. I cannot pursue it anymore."

Ezekiel takes the hand of Salem.

Ezekiel: "I know, but no matter what happen, I am still here."

Salem: "Hm… thanks Ezekiel."

Ezekiel: "Your welcome, my Empress."

He kisses her on the lips and Salem let him do it for a few seconds before going away.

Salem: "Also, how it's the advancement of the Space Marine creations?"

Ezekiel: "Unfortunately, it stagnates."

Salem: "Hm… we have all the time in front of us. Let's take tea…"

Salem takes the hand of Ezekiel and brings him to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, in the other part of the palace. Fulgrim was presenting to the rest of his brothers and nieces his creations all hidden behind curtains.

Fulgrim: "Thanks to be gathered around for the presentation of my clothes. I have taken care of your ceremonial clothes for the marriage of our beloved matriarch. But I won't explain how I have taken inspiration for. Now, Edelgard. Please remove the curtains."

Someone more was with the family, it was Calliphone, she was now a very old woman but still quite energetic.

Calliphone: "Fortunately that I joined in time. Sorry I wasn't here for Alpharius and Omegon return."

Perturabo: "It's alright, Calliphone."

Edelgard activates the lever and the curtain moves, displaying mannequins of each Primarchs, plus for the relatives.

All: "Ooooooh!"

Fulgrim: "Splendid, isn't it? I have made sure to know how is your taste. After all, it was fabricated by my best seamstresses of Chemos."

Everyone was impressed of the craftmanship of Fulgrim.

Horus: "You surpassed yourself."

Zorai: "Hm… I am impressed."

Sanguinius: "It captures our beauty."

Fulgrim: "This marriage has to be perfect in every aspect. Also, I have made the marriage cloth for our mother."

Roboute Guilliman: "Hm… and yours?"

Fulgrim: "He… let me show you."

He takes the curtain and reveals his ceremonial clothes. It was a beautiful purple and white tunic with a coat with gold decorations. Udili's robe has white and violet gown with jewellery. Edelgard's robe is a purple robe, with purple cape and black boots and a diadem.

Fulgrim: "Impressed?"

Rogal Dorn: "That's good. I would say."

The others nodded, Fulgrim is a bit disappointed since he doesn't get the reaction he wanted.

Fulgrim: "Buuuuuut… for the marriage robe of our mother will be a surprise for you all. After all, the couple has the ones to be valued. It's very important…"

Rogal Dorn: "Oh, I see."

Vulkan: "… I hope that these other Eldars won't be there."

Everyone looks back to Vulkan.

Horus: "Listen Vulkan. It depends of the decision that our mother will take. You have to respect it in the end. She won't send out Ilil and Allarielle from the marriage for your good eyes."

Vulkan glared to Horus before rolling his eyes.

Roboute Guilliman: "Can we please go back to the marriage?"

A lot of the Primarchs nodded toward Vulkan, urging him to change the subject now or never.

Perturabo: "Who has made the menu?"

Horus: "It was me who was in charge. I invited all the best cookers of Reikland and Grüne Ebenen."

Rogal Dorn: "Are you sure they won't mess up? Especially the latter?"

Horus shakes his head.

Horus: "Mother has made sure to put Grüne Ebenen back on track. And so, the Imperial Academies re-educated the population with success. I tasted the cook of their kitchen a few years ago, it was divine."

Zorai smirked.

Zorai: "I would like to see it close."

Meanwhile, Salem is now facing Ilil and Allarielle.

Allarielle: "Are you kidding us?"

Salem: "You won't participate in the marriage. I am sorry."

Allarielle: "Why?"

Ilil: "Listen Allarielle, we are Eldars and so, this marriage is only for the humans to enjoy."

Allarielle: "You supposed to take care of your hosts! And we should be present!"

Salem lifted her eyebrow.

Salem: "What do you mean, host? You are both my hostages. And I have decided that you will not participate in the marriage. I have a lot of reasons to do so: First, the image for the Imperium. People with certainly won't accept two Xenos part of the image. Second, many of my sons despise you and won't certainly want your presence. Three, you have to understand this importance of this marriage for me."

Ilil: "I understand…"

Allarielle: "Of course, you will Ilil! You always say yes!"

Ilil: "I am not a coward… I am trying to survive."

Salem: "At least, someone understand me. Now, Allarielle. This is my only warning. Don't try to ruin this marriage even by simply by hiding behind to observe. Because if not, I deprive you of your psychic powers for the next hundred years. Understood?"

Allarielle: "Huh… yeah?"

Salem: "If you behave as I asked. I will give you bigger rooms. Okay?"

Allarielle rolled her eyes.

Allarielle: "Okay, I won't move from the Sanctum."

Salem: "Good. I trust you. Don't betray it and also."

She snapped her fingers and a tv comes from the ceiling by a mechanical arm.

Salem: "You can assist from here. It's quite comfy. Also, you can request the food from my maids. Where it comes my second rule: don't trash anything in my absence because you will be the one to clean it."

Ilil: "Okay, we won't."

Salem: "Good."

A few moments later, Salem is facing Helies. They were discussing about Imperial activities.

Salem: "Where is the XVIth Legion now?"

Helies: "Hm… They are led by Abaddon against the human empire of the Urderd Commonwealth. From the last news, they are about to win."

Salem: "Good, that's good."

Helies frowned at Salem.

Salem: "What?"

Helies: "I hope that you don't use your newfound power to try force us to obey you. Because you will face retaliation, got it?"

Salem: "I will not. After all, why I would betray you? You proved your excellence to the Imperium many times as the master of Administratum."

Helies: "But I will not be your pawn. Since you will be an Empress."

Salem: "Hm… You will not, after all, this is our combined dedication that makes the Imperium, the Imperium. I will make sure that one day, you will have successor who is worthy of you."

She tries to put her hand on Helies' shoulder but he pushes it away.

Helies: "I don't need your pity."

Salem: "And I need your dedication. Despite our differences."

Helies doesn't respond and goes out from Salem's way before he left the room. She sighed.

Salem: "Why few people trust me?"

A few days later…

The day of marriage arrived. A huge crowd entered since the first hours of the day, putting themselves inside of the Mother of the mothers. It was a crowd composed of nobles, the highest nobles putting themselves in the lower parts of the cathedral, right between the path of where the Imperial couple. The lesser nobles installed themselves on the upper part of the cathedral.

All of them were waiting for this.

Meanwhile, Malcador is with Salem that was dressed in her proper marriage robe by her maids. When she has finished, Malcador approached her, he could see her she was nervous.

Malcador: "What is happening, Salem?"

Salem: "I'm scared… I am making the step."

Malcador turned Salem to him by her shoulders.

Malcador: "Listen to me. Change is scary but the moment you accept it, you will get used to it. Please remind yourself of it."

Salem: "Yeah, but despite I heard that a lot of time. I am still scared."

Malcador: "Hm… It's because of Ozma, isn't it?"

Salem: "A bit that but also, because I will be attached to the Imperium as long at it exist."

Malcador: "There is vital decisions that you take in your life. Who will confirm or not your destiny that you build upon yourself. And when the moment of choice happens, you have to assume it with all your responsibility. This is a remainder for you."

Salem observed herself in the mirror, a little tear comes down on her cheek. She wipes it out before taking a resolute face.

Salem: "Hm… I am ready."

She turns back to Malcador, her face radiates calm and authority. Malcador only smirked.

Malcador: "This marriage will be successful; my honours are for you… your majesty."

He takes the hand of Salem and kissed it.

Salem: "Thanks."

Meanwhile, Lorgar Aurelian is inside of the Mother of the mothers, dressed in his High Priest clothes that Fulgrim has fabricated. Right in front of the priests and nuns. He is really febrile and serious. He was also surrounded by the Word Bearers, especially Kor Phaeron and Erebus.

Lorgar Aurelian: "Now you are ready. You will recite with the most beautiful voice that you will have. The versets that the future Empress has given to us. It has to be perfect! Because if we get disappointment from the God-Emperor and Immortal Empress. It will shame our church for the rest of the time! No failure is allowed!"

The priests and the other Word Bearers nodded.

On the Primarchs' family side. They are now dressed properly.

They are gattered inside of the private hall of the Sanctum, only reserved for the Imperial Family.

Fulgrim: "Hm… She will come at any moment, after all, the ceremony will begin at noon."

Kariady: "I hope so…"

At this moment, the double doors open. Everyone turned. Salem has arrived in her marriage robe.

Salem: "Hello, my dear family…"

Sanguinius: "Hello, you look beautiful in this cloth."

Salem: "Hm… thanks. Sanguinius. You look good on these clothes."

Fulgrim: "Thanks to me…"

Salem: "Of course. Where is your father?"

Horus: "He will come soon."

Salem sited on one of the armchairs of the room.

Rogal Dorn: "Are you okay with this?"

Salem: "Personally, it beneficial for me. After all, this is not normal for me to not be married with the man that with our combined efforts to give birth of this huge family. This feeling was here and I had to supress it."

Perturabo: "So, it's just more than saving face in front of the whole population?"

Calliphone: "Oooooh… Bo, please. Make an effort."

Salem: "Whatever. Now, this is an event that we will finally unite us as a whole. And so, I wish one thing after this marriage: that you will do more joined crusades."

Some of the Primarchs lifted their eyebrows.

Mortarion: "I won't certainly join his crusade at any moment…"

He pointed Magnus.

Magnus: "Grmbl… You have a closed mind."

Perturabo: "I still cannot bear the view of Rogal Dorn."

Rogal Dorn: "Even with all these years?!"

Angron: "And the manner that Zorai leads his empire is sickening me."

Zorai: "Tch… You are fortunate that you are my brother. Rebels have not their place in my Phoenix Empire."

Angron frowned even more. He was internally pissed by the attitude of Zorai who treats him as a lowlife and retarded rebel. He was also disgusted by his niece, Asuka, who looked at him with the same look of contempt and superiority at him.

Horus: "You should listen more to our mother. See us."

Sanguinius: "Me and Horus forms the closest bond that we formed."

Horus: "Hm…"

The two makes a handshake with force. (Note: Take the famous "You son of a bitch" scene of Predator).

Fulgrim: "In exchange of decorations, Ferrus Manus makes me solid weapons. After all, beauty and efficiency are complementary."

Jaghatai: "Mystic force is something that I would know more. Magnus makes my forces learn more about the warp since Psykers have learned even they are purely immaterial."

Mortarion: "At least, someone understand me like Angron."

Roboute Guilliman: "Since you have both tragic pasts."

Mortarion glared at Roboute.

Roboute Guilliman: "It was not a critique."

Salem: "I have seen enough. I know this hard to understand each other since your origins are completely different for each Primarchs. Some are glorious destinies. Some have tragic ones. And for this reason, I know that trust must be gained overtime. But put more effort in it because I don't want this arguing continuing for the next century."

The rest of the family looked at each other. At this moment, the other door of the hall opens. It reveals the Emperor, dressed in gold and silver rich clothes adapted for his height. He has symbols of the double headed eagle on his chest. He has his famous gold laurel wreath on his head. Behind his back is Constantin Valdor and a dozen of Custodes.

Emperor: "Hello, everyone."

Salem: "Hm, hello… my lord."

The Emperor turned to Salem and extended his hand toward her. The woman takes the finger of the Emperor, since she is so small compared to him.

Emperor: "How much time left?"

Horus: "Hm… Two hours. Enough time to go in the Mother of the mothers. Lorgar is already waiting for us."

Emperor: "Okay, then. We have to go now."

And so, the couple comes out of the hallway, closely followed by the Primarchs and the rest of the family. The maids, the different butlers of the palace and the little guards of the palace bowed in front of the Emperor but also the future Empress.

They go to the lower levels of the Sanctum and arrived in a huge hall parking with miniature versions of the vessels of the flagships from the different Space Marine Legions. And so, the Imperial couple installed themselves on the miniature version of the Bucephelus while the Custodes placed behind the curtains of their seat to intervene at any moment. They are placed all behind the procession.

When they have all inside, in a gesture, the Emperor gives the sign to the workers.

And so, the gigantic doors open, revealing to the bridge linking the Sanctum to the rest of the Imperial Palace.

Inside of the bridge who is very, very large, a lot of people gattered it was mainly the guards and other servants of the Sanctum. Giving the salute to the Imperial Family, also, dozens and dozens of Servo-Skulls equipped with a camera under their mouth began to float around the vessels, filming the procession.

More the procession goes profoundly to the gigantic avenue toward the Mother of the mothers who could be seen in the horizon, filling the sky in the fog with majesty and proud. While the rest of the sky was filled with vessels who has come from four quarters of the Imperium but also watched by the expeditionary fleets to prevent any attacks, also the planetary cannons are aimed right to the guest vessels as a warning.

The procession was separated in two, the Primarchs were in front to install themselves while the couple will stay behind to salute the crowds.

Around the avenue, the crowd assembled cheered at the Emperor and his bride. The Empress is mainly the one who salute the crowd.

After a long moment, the procession finally arrived in front of the cathedral entry. With only the Primarchs since the Emperor and Empress has their own procession is behind.

The gates opened on themselves by the mechanical arms inside of the cathedral.

The Primarchs arrived first and entered inside the cathedral. The cathedral was a gigantic has the rest of the crowd composed of nobles. Everyone stands up and bowed to the Primarchs and their relatives while they continue inside. They walked, walked and walked inside of this gigantic cathedral of five kilometers long. Despite the long march, they finally arrived in the center. They could see Lorgar Aurelian.

Lorgar Aurelian: "Hello, my brothers. Thanks to have come for this ceremony who will mark the Imperium history. Please sit down as our father, the God-Emperor will arrive to marry his immortal Empress."

And so, the Primarchs and their relatives sited down on their respective place.

After a while, the couple procession arrived in their turn.

The Emperor descended first and gives the hand to Salem. She takes it and descended from the vehicle. And the duo entered in their turn. The crowd inside of the cathedral bowed even before them. As they entered, the hundreds of organs of the cathedrals began to ring and play their harmonious music.

They walked inside of the alley toward the center of the cathedral, a long march that no one dares to disrupt.

And so, the couple finally arrived in front of Lorgar Aurelian and the dozens of Word Bearers surrounding him.

Lorgar Aurelian: "Thanks, my sons, my daughters to all come here. Please sit down."

Expect the Emperor and the future Empress, everyone sited down.

Lorgar Aurelian: "This reunion is the most divine one. Since the god creator of the Imperium. Our all-mighty Emperor will marry the very creator of the Angels of the Death but also: Mother of the Primarchs. This union is like our Imperium. We maybe come from different sides, even from different populations but we are one race. One race to make Humanity prosper like in the old times. By the benediction of the God-Emperor and the Immortal Empress."

Salem rolled her eyes at this statement; she doesn't love the Emperor but the speech is a speech.

Lorgar Aurelian: "Now, hear the music for their glory."

One of the Word Bearers turned to the orchestra and began to order the music.

[Insert: Code Geass - Orchestra Performance – (Cold Nobility – All hail Britannia!)].

The nuns and the priests began to sing while the music began to amplify, the crowd were silently listening as the rest of the planet. The music was divinely played, a symphonia who nourished the ears of everyone.

And the lyrics arrived.

Priests: "Truth in hope in our fatherland!

And death to every foe!

Our soldiers shall not pause to rest

We vow our loyalty…

Nuns: "Old traditions they will abide.

Arise young heroes!

Our past inspires nobles' deeds.

All Hail Imperium!"

Priests: "Immortal beacon shows the way

Step forth and seek glory!

Hoist your swords high into the clouds

Hail Imperium!"

Nuns: "Our Emperor stands astride this world

He'll vanquish every foe!

His truth and justice shine so bright

All hail his brilliant light!

Priests: "Never will he be overthrown

Like mountains and sea.

His bloodline immortal and pure

All Hail Imperium!

Both Priests and Nuns: "So let his wisdom guide our way.

Go forth and seek glory

Hoist your swords high into the clouds

Hail Imperium!"

And with this finish, everyone applauds in the cathedral and even the public outside applauded.

Lorgar Aurelian: "Now. Divine Emperor of Mankind. Savior of the race and creator of the Imperium. Will you accept Salem, as your bride?"

Emperor: "I do."

Lorgar Aurelian: "High Lady of the Imperium, Salem. Will you accept to become the wife of the Emperor of Mankind as such?"

Salem: "I do."

Lorgar Aurelian: "Then it settled. God Emperor of Mankind kiss your new Empress."

The Emperor takes Salem in his hands before gently lifted her up to his face and then he approached her to his face and the two kissed. The crowd applauded this act, they were now married. The Primarchs also applauded.

The Emperor posed back Salem and the two began to walk to the gates of the cathedral, accompanied behind by their family. Lorgar was closing the march with his Word Bearers.

After a long march, they exited the cathedral in front of the crowd who was extending to the horizon.

Lorgar arrived in front of the crowd.

Lorgar: "People of Terra! People of the Imperium! There is now your Emperor and your Empress!"

The crowd screamed in joy with clapping hands.

Crowd: "GLORY TO THE EMPEROR! GLORY TO THE EMPRESS! HAIL IMPERIUM! HAIL IMPERIUM! HAIL IMPERIUM! HAIL IMPERIUM! HAIL IMPERIUM! HAIL IMPERIUM! HAIL IMPERIUM!"

The screams ceases and the overlapping speaks of joy and discussion resumes the agitation while the Imperial Family goes inside of their vehicles and goes back to the Sanctum.

The evening arrived and everyone were now dinning inside of one of the living rooms of the Sanctum. Served by plates of food served by the chefs of Reikland and Grüne Ebenen.

Kira Saito: "This is excellent!"

Rogal Dorn: "This is really good."

Salem: "I have made sure that the kitchen is excellent."

Angron: "I can see that…"

Kariady: "What do you do now?"

Salem: "We have to do our honeymoon now. So, we will leave tomorrow in private with your father."

Rogal Dorn: "Have you found your ideal place?"

Emperor: "The planet of Axilia. A Pleasure World known for his variety of places to discover and explore."

Roboute Guilliman: "I have heard about it. That's a really great place."

Mortarion: "I want to know one thing. What is your place as now Empress?"

Magnus: "Hm… that's true."

Salem: "That's complicated. Let's say that I have a right of initiative above Malcador."

Horus: "It means that you have absolute power like our father, the Emperor."

Salem: "Hm… maybe."

Roboute Guilliman: "After our diner. We will have gifts for you. We have a few of them."

Salem: "Okay…"

Moments later…

The group are now giving a few gifts to Salem after the diner.

Fulgrim: "Me, Magnus and Vulkan fabricated this dagger for you."

Salem unsheathed the dagger; it was a dark-coloured blade.

Salem: "And what is the point?"

Fulgrim: "It steals the life of your murderer instantly."

Salem: "Hm… good enough."

She hides the dagger inside of her dress.

Zorai: "This is my gift for you."

Zorai gives a very worked hanfu toward Salem but also more casual clothes of the Pheonix Empire.

Salem: "Oh thanks. I have a taste on the Phoenix Empire fashion."

Salem posed them on the table.

Leman Russ: "I have this fur for you."

It was a sweater made of bear fur.

Leman Russ: "Ut was made by own hands."

Salem: "Hm… It could be good in frosty planets."

Magnus: "This is the updated version of my book."

Magnus gives a really big book to Salem.

Salem: "Oh, thanks."

She put the book on the table.

Lion El'Jonson: "I have nothing more than these flowers. I hope you like it."

It was a pot full of lilies, Salem smelled inside.

Salem: "This is good."

She put the pot on the table.

Perturabo: "This is my book of military strategy. Also, it should be for all of you."

Some Primarchs rolled their eyes. Salem takes the book.

Salem: "Thanks."

Jaghatai Khan: "Take this, this is a good cloth. This is a deel."

Salem: "Beautiful."

She takes the cloth and posed it on the table.

Rogal Dorn gives a book to Salem.

Rogal Dorn: "This is a book for the fortresses and their construction."

Salem: "Hm… thanks."

She puts it on the table.

Konrad Curze: "I have nothing for you, since I didn't know what do you wanted from me."

Salem: "It's not a big deal. Sometimes, you don't know what you want."

Sanguinius: "These are the poems that I composed."

He gives a book to the Empress that she put on the table.

Ferrus Manus: "This is a new Plasma gun, that I ornated with your symbols. This is your weapon of protection for critical situation."

He gives an ornated gun with gold accents with Salem's symbol on it.

Salem: "Oh thanks! Two weapons for protection won't kill me…"

She puts the plasma gun inside of her dress once again.

Roboute Guilliman approached Salem by bringing an armour on a stand. The armour was in a uniformized white with gold decorations and the Empress symbol plastered on the chest. The helmet is a bit modified version of the Maximus Helmet. (Imagine a helmet halfway the ones who is worn by the Sisters of Battles and the Power Armour Maximus).

Roboute Guilliman: "This is a new version of your Power Armour Mark IV Maximus adapted for you. With the help of Kira. We have made a custom-made Power Armour for you. It will increase your strength five times."

Salem: "Thanks a lot…"

Kira Saito: "So, my gift hasn't arrived yet since it difficult to bring this. But this is my first of the series of new Small-produced Mobile Suits. These are named General-purpose Utility Non-Discontinuity Augmentation Manoeuvring Weapon System. Or GUNDAM for short. I don't count the two last words of the acronym for obvious reasons. This is a new kind of weapon, much faster and only reserved to skilled and very reactive pilots. And so, you will receive the twin of the Zeta, the Gamma Gundam. Since we build initial Gundams always in double."

He gives a photo of the machine in question. (Note: Take the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam). It was white with the symbol of the Empress of Mankind on it.

Salem: "Ooooh… I can't wait to climb inside of it."

Kira Saito: "Also. I have this."

He gives a book filled with plans and codes of the Gamma Gundam.

Kira Saito: "To program the Gundam at your convenience."

Salem: "Hm thanks…"

She takes the book and posed it on the table.

Mortarion: "I have nothing to offer you. I didn't search enough."

Salem: "I understand."

Angron: "I have this."

He gives a bottle of wine.

Angron: "Fabricated on Nuceria. It has a good taste."

Salem: "Okay…"

She posed it on the table.

Lorgar Aurelian: "This is my book of psalms."

Salem: "Hm… I will read it when I have the time…"

She takes the book and posed it on the table.

Corvus Corax: "Hm… I have nothing for you. Since I didn't decide what I wanted to give you."

Salem: "It's okay."

Horus, Alpharius and Omegon looked at each other. It lifted Salem's eyebrow.

Salem: "You don't have to be ashamed if you don't have anything for me."

Horus takes a very formal tone.

Horus: "We have something for you. Alpharius and Omegon found it in frozen deserted planet and to be fair: it was highly improbable that we could found it here. But the universe surprised us. I was shocked and I asked myself thousands of questions of why the Brothers send it here."

Salem widened.

Salem: "What do you mean by that?"

Alpharius and Omegan takes a small rectangular box and opened it in front of her. Salem pecked inside and paled with so much shock.

Inside was an object that Salem hold dear in her very soul.

It was Ozma's staff, the Empress could recognize it clearly like it was yesterday. The decorations of flowers on the handle and the very emerald on it.

The object was not in its best day, the lower part was separated from the staff despite being present in the box, cracks were everywhere and the emerald was dirty. But it was still the very staff that she holds dears.

Salem: "Wha… the… wha… Ho… How… How did… you…?"

Alpharius: "We honestly don't know."

Horus: "It defies all of our expectations. The only possible explanation that the Brothers God wanted to erase the presence of Ozma of your world but even that, it just plain speculation."

Omegon: "We have found it in the ice, close a small Ork tribe who seemed to use it as a toothpick."

Salem looked back at the box before taking the staff in her hands. She rubbed it slowly and recognize the touch and gives her back painful memories to her. She shed tears a little. She quickly recomposed herself and posed the staff back inside of the box.

Salem: "Thanks… for this gift… I think… I need some time for myself…"

The Primarchs nodded and Salem walked to the door of the hallway, opens and closes it without turning back. Magnus turned to Alpharius and Omegon.

Magnus: "My… Even with all my magic, I didn't find it with Remnant despite all of my dedication."

Alpharius: "It was luck. And a pretty miraculous one."

Magnus: "…"

All turned to the staff, staring of this object full of mystery and wonder.

A month later after the ceremony, the new Imperial couple has now arrived on Axilia. An Imperial Pleasure World in the North of the Imperium. The planet has a reputation to be a world with beautiful mountains, plains of wines, luxurious forests but also: it's many islands with beaches of white sand. With the influx of rich tourists, the planet gained its place in the Imperium by opening many hostels, axed on the variety of his lands of vacations.

And so, here they are, inside of a big mansion in front of a beach, alone and with risk to be disturbed.

The sun was setting and Salem is dressed in a nightrobe, brushing her hair in front of a mirror.

Her expression was the one of uncertainty and apprehension. She knows what will happen this night and asked herself thousands of questions.

She was making right now the last step away from Ozma and the most intimate one. Of course, she had done it several times with Ezekiel but here, it's symbolic. This gesture will definitely seal her fate as the Empress Consort, the wife of the powerful and all-mighty Emperor of Mankind. Salem lifted her head to the glass ceiling, displaying the stars.

Salem: "Ozma… If you see me right now. I think I hold my wish true. I am with someone else. I hope you will be happy for me. I really hope."

She finishes brushing her hair and put back the brush. Then, to give herself courage, she taps her cheeks several times with her hands. Then, with a resolute face, she exits the bathroom.

She arrived inside of the big room, the Emperor was waiting for her on the bed, exposing his mighty and muscular body to the air and in front of herself. She blushed a little before slowly removing her nightrobe. The room was covered everywhere in Blackstone, to make sure that no spawn of Slaanesh tries to invite himself in the act.

Salem: "I am ready…"

(Note: After a long time, this is the Lemon that you expected. You deserved it, your naughty, naughty boys. Enjoy it now. Also, a little warning. This sex scene will be a bit hardcore).

[Lemon mode: ON].

Emperor: "I won't hurt you. I have to take care of my new Empress."

Salem rolled her eyes.

Salem: "Whatever."

She climbs on the bed and finally remarked the really big cock in front of her. Exactly one meter of length. No woman could never bear it. It was for this reason that the Emperor takes a much "normal" body size. But Salem, her, will be the first woman to taste the true might of the Emperor's tail. After all, with her immortality, she would bear anything.

The thing would scare her away, but she doesn't. Salem could feel on her soul the Emperor's presence by simply staring at this gigantic mast. In a matter of second, the lust was invading her soul. At any other moment, she would have resisted it. But since this is the Emperor, she let herself drawn in the flow.

She licked her lips and put herself in position while beginning to masturbate her lower half and her breasts. She stared a little to the Emperor's eyes and then, take in her hands the cock before beginning to give a blowjob.

Salem (thoughts): "Hmmmm… This is so intense… my mind is turning to… mmmh… mush… Ooooh…"

She sucked and a part of this shaft inside of her throat. The saliva mixing the pre-cum who is overflowing inside of her throat and going to the stomach. She takes out since she has no more air.

Salem: "Aaaaah… I am… so drenched. I am feeling… funny…"

Emperor: "Are you tired?"

Salem frowned.

Salem: "I am not a weak and dumb whore. I will make your mind fall in lust!"

Emperor: "Try me."

He even dares to smirk at her in defiance. It was the first time that he smirked with this kind of thinking.

Salem: "I will make you cum so much until every last drop is inside me and I give birth to bajillions of princesses!"

She immediately stands up and put herself in position above the cock who is well awakened, veins pumping under the skin. Her respiration was heated, she was excited to such an extent that her mind was on the brink on falling inside of her animal and savage side.

Salem: "Aaaah… one… aaaah… two… aaaah… th… three!"

She put herself on it before impaling herself inside. Salem lost her mind only just putting herself inside of the Emperor's cock.

Salem: "AAAARRHHH!"

She panted, she drooled, her tongues out while her eyes leaked rivers of tears of excitation.

Salem: "So… bi… biiiiiiig…"

She instinctively impaled more and more, with the help of her feet and leg. Further she goes, more her mind goes numb and chaotic. She uses unconsciously her magic to stretch her tummy to have the full size inside of herself. After a wait, she managed the impossible by fully entering the cock inside her womb.

Salem smiled dumbly.

Salem: "Hehehe… I have… done… iiiiiiit…"

Emperor: "Can you continue?"

Salem: "Hehehe… Hihihihihihi…"

She began to laugh loudly in lust and ecstasy.

Salem: "My brain is burniiiiinngg! SO GOOOOOOOD! MY MIND… MY MINNNNDDD!"

Then the Emperor widened and sees Salem's body becoming paler and paler while shivering, covering itself in dark veins. Her hair becomes white and lengthened so much that it reaches the sheet.

Emperor: "Salem! Are you okay?!"

Salem panted before turning her head back to the Emperor, her eyes are now red with dark sclera, they were bright as two red suns while her curves and assets tripled in size. She has a completely lusty look.

Salem: "Sooooo goooood… You flipped my switch…"

Emperor: "What do you mean?"

Salem: "You see my lust… my very lusty side… I am now a reaaaaal whooooore… Hehehehe…"

Emperor: "Hm… Why your darkest side is always transformed?"

Salem pouted.

Salem: "What do you want? I am like that… But since Magnus is not here to worry sick about me… I can go full swing!"

The Emperor sighed.

Emperor: "If it can relieve you."

Salem smiled in full lust mode before moving. In the beginning, she was doing it slowly.

Salem: "Aaaaaaah… really good… I like taking my time. Let me leading the rhythm, I will take a good care of you."

She moved more and more rapidly.

Salem: "How it's it? Huh? How it's it?!"

Emperor: "Not feeling anything."

Salem: "What?! In that case, I'll go in the superior speed!"

She increased her speed, while her pleasure was reaching unimaginable heights. She could see that the Emperor was impassible. It frustrated her greatly.

Salem: "What is your feeling now?! Respond!"

Emperor: "Like a leaf moving gently on my skin?"

Salem: "RAAAAH! You are a statue or what?! Very well! I will dance now!"

She began to move her butt in every direction, moaning loudly and she feels her mind beginning to slip in the madness of simply fucking and breeding. But still no reaction from the Emperor. It frustrated her and even enraged her.

Salem: "Come on… Come on! Why I cannot obtain from you a simple expression of pleasure?!"

Emperor: "Try, try to succeed to give me pleasure."

Salem has a vein of anger popping out from her forehead.

Salem: "Fine! I will try something else… Let's see…"

She puts her hands above her crotch and uses her magic to forcefully tighten her walls. It gives a colossal amount of pleasure that she moaned loudly. But she could see that the Emperor widened. She smirked.

Salem: "Oooh… You feel good?"

Emperor: "A little."

Salem: "Hm… Let me try something."

Emperor: "What?"

Salem smiled ear to ear. She uses on herself a spell and she increase her body size to reach 2.90 meters height. Her assets by the proportion of her body grows a little bit more. And the cock fits way more inside of her. The Emperor feels the pleasure building and it displayed by his eye twitching.

Salem: "I see that you're starting to feel good. Now, let's…"

She slammed herself inside of the Emperor's cock.

Salem: "… Kick things up a notch!"

She began to move in an energic way and fucks really hard.

Salem: "Hahahaha!"

Emperor: "I can feel it… the pleasure."

Salem: "Finally, give me babies! Lot of babiiiiiessss!"

Emperor: "Grmbl! I hope this will calm you a little!"

And then, Salem feels the hot cum inside of her womb.

Salem: "AAAAAHHH! AAAAAAHHH!"

She collapsed on the belly of her husband.

Salem: "Oooooh…"

The Emperor observed his wife and decided to pat gently her head.

Emperor: "You managed to please me in my real form. You are quite resilient."

But suddenly, she lifts her head toward the Emperor, her eyes was now full of lust, red veins surrounded her eyes pupil who becomes dark in her eye pupil. She has completely lost it and was now completely driven by the will of fucking and fucking again. Her hair has grown even more, covering reaching the floor, also hiding a bit her face.

Emperor: "Oh… for Humanity's sake…"

Salem: "Hehehehe… HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

She began to fuck with violence and with great speed. The Emperor feels his cock twitching and ready to deliver his semen. It was a long time since the beginning of his long life that the Emperor has felt this kind of pleasure.

Emperor: "Ooooh… It's so good right now… I will give you the bajillion princesses that you want."

He grabs the legs of Salem and began to move inside of her. Salem squealed of pleasure.

Salem: "WOUAAAAHH! AAAH! AAAH! AAAH! AAAAAH!"

Emperor: "Take that!"

He cum inside of Salem and her belly bloated a little.

Salem: "Aaaaah… aaaah… aaah…"

Emperor: "Now. I will make you feel the ultimate pleasure. Something that even Slaanesh won't make you feel."

He takes her out from his cock before posing her on the bed. Her hair is sprayed all over the bed. he positioned himself in front of her. Salem eyes widened and with pleasure, she pulls outward the skin of her pussy.

Salem: "Aaaaah… Aaaaahnnnn…"

Emperor: "You won't forget that at all. Now enjoy, dear wife."

He pulls himself inside of her, Salem screamed in pleasure.

Salem: "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

The Emperor moves inside of Salem with speed and force, he takes great pleasure to make his new wife a dream of sex. He fucked and fucked until the breaking point.

Emperor: "Take your babies inside you!"

He cum so much inside Salem that her belly bloats like she was pregnant of several 9 months old babies.

Salem: "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

After a last scream of pleasure, Salem fainted. Her body returned to a more normal appearance and size with her skin pink once again, her assets normal and her hair blonde again once again while wat long than before despite the shrink and her belly still extremely bloated with cum. The Emperor takes out his cock from her, the cum comes out from her pussy and her belly slowly emptied itself.

Emperor: "What a honeymoon…"

[End of the Lemon].

Salem wakes up in the conjugal bed, she feels extremely well. The Emperor is on her side, sleeping slightly. Salem could see her hair very extended in the whole part but the Emperor wrapped it around her body like a sheet. She chuckled at this vision. Salem sits on the bed and rubs her hair.

Salem: "Hmm… So, sweet and gentle. I'll guard them."

She goes out of the bed and takes her hair in her arms before going to the bathroom. She takes a shower before going out and brushing a lot of her hair. Her hair is reaching behind the knees and the belly for the front.

Then, she goes to the cupboard. She searches the new dress worthy for the Empress that she is now.

Salem: "Let's see…"

After searching inside of the cupboard, she finds them before putting them on.

Then she faces the mirror of the bathroom.

She wears a white robe covering her neck to the feet. The lower part of the costume has decoration of golden flowers. Then has an opening line revealing slightly legs with white shoes with golden accents. Her black belt around the waist is harbouring a small eye symbol surrounded by a wing's golden symbols. The chest part of the area has an opening to an undershirt. The parts around of of the undershirt have lines of flowers symbols. Inside of the undershirt, right under the neckline. There is the green gem she has since the beginning of her life, the same who has been part of her old Remnantian robe. This gem composes the eye symbol of Salem's crest with the wings surrounding it and the head of the eagle pointing at it while the fangs surround an esoteric galactic symbol. Her sleeves are covered in gold buttons but that's all. Also, there is a lateral cape on the right shoulder. It's entirely white for the most part, except for the parts who poses themselves on the shoulders and hangs above the body until the belt. It has the same green eye symbols and wings at the shoulder's levels than the extremities. Finally, there is a matching hat with also here, a green eye surrounded by the wings of the eagle.

(Note: Basically, it's Lelouch vi Britannia Emperor's outfit except the details mentioned earlier).

As the finale touch, the now very long blonde hair of Salem with part of them in the front, gives another layer of beauty on this cloth.

Salem: "Hm… That suits me."

At this moment, the Emperor wakes up and finally sees his Empress inside of the bathroom.

Emperor: "I am awakened…"

Salem without a word goes out of the room and shows her outfit. The Emperor lifted his eyebrow.

Emperor: "It seems that you are ready."

Salem nodded.

Salem: "Absolutely. Now, the serious events have now begun…"

Emperor: "Also, I forgot to give you this. Here."

He takes out from his case a small box, he opens it and reveals a small ring with a ruby on it.

Salem: "Oh my..."

She extended her hand and the Emperor put the ring on the right middle finger.

Emperor: "It was Magnus who fabricated it, from the crystals that he has retrieved in Prospero."

Salem stared at it, the ring was beautiful and simple enough.

Salem: "Hm... Good enough."

The next month, back to Terra. Salem is inside of a big reception room, facing hundreds of people dressed in formal attire but still decorated. She is dressed in her Empress attire and sited on a throne.

Salem: "I have reunited you for the most part for one important announcement. Now, since I climbed the highest rank beside the Emperor himself. It's time for the Corpus Inquisivitum to become something else, something greater. The Investigators belongs to the past. Now, spread the Imperial Justice to the traitors and the ignorant, my Lords Inquisitors!"

[Theme: Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion OST – Devil Created].

The pointed the crowd in a graceful way as she ends her tirade.

Crowd of the Inquisitors: "Yes, your majesty!"

They put their hands on their hands before lifting their hands in the air.

Crowd of the Inquisitors: "All Hail Imperium!"

They put down their hands back.

Horus, who is present with Alpharius and Omegon approached his mother.

Horus: "Inquisitors? Are you sure about that?"

Salem: "Absolutely. It's time to enlarge the perspective now. If I reunited you three, it's for one reason."

Alpharius: "What do you mean?"

Salem: "It's time for you that have a real role in the Imperium. And you are suited for the role of the Masters of the Inquisition."

Omegon: "Oh, I see…"

Horus: "I am not sure. Alpharius and Omegon maybe since they learned a lot with you in Terra. But me? I think that I am suited at all."

Salem: "Hm… you are missing an opportunity, my little Horus."

Horus: "I am seeing as a chief of armies or something like that. But the Inquisition? Alpharius and Omegon are masters of gathering information and dissimulation. I am just a soldier."

Salem: "Hm… very well. I will discuss about the matter of chief of armies with your father. You are a bit true about it… Now, Alpharius, Omegon, this is a great responsibility that I am giving to you and all my trust. Don't disappoint me."

The twins nodded.

Salem: "Good."

[End of the theme].

In the next 3 months, Salem's troops with her in the Infinite, was fighting a war against another Human Empire who tried to resist the Imperium.

The 6th Expeditionary fleet since Salem became the Empress as gained tremendous number of vessels and troops, making one of the most powerful one in the Imperium. They were making their final push as the enemy fleet was trying desperately to fight off.

But then, the Royal Eagles brought someone in front of the Immortal Empress, the king of the planet. Not chained but still surrounded by the guards.

The Empress was on her seat, the Katana on her belt.

Salem: "Here you are. The King of the Ten Worlds of Kavinia. A man so powerful and brave but now who is facing me."

King of Kavinia: "Are you here to mock me?"

Salem: "No. I will simply ask your surrender. You have a final chance. Don't disappoint me."

The King observed Salem for a moment before bending the knee.

King of Kavinia: "Please spare my population and my planets."

Salem: "This is all I need to hear."

She stands up and turns to the capcom.

Salem: "When the last vessel is destroyed. You will broadcast a message to the whole system."

Capcom: "Yes, your majesty!"

[Theme: Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 OST – The Master].

A few moments later, after a nuclear missile launched by the Infinite destroys the last fleet in a huge explosion above the planet. A message is broadcasted to all the major tv and public holograms of the planets of Kavinia. Displaying her might.

Salem: "Worlds of Kavinia. I am the Immortal Empress of the Imperium, Salem von Imperium. Your king has bent the knee and nine of your worlds are under the Imperium might. No one can resist our armies right now. I am giving you back your king and your lands if you recognize the Imperium and the Emperor as your true and undisputed master. All opposition will be silenced. From this day forward, you are part of the Imperium."

This is consternation for all the inhabitants of the planet who were in fear and anguish. Salem lifted her hand around her face.

Salem: "Yes, you are part of the Imperium. Your worlds belong to it. Obey us, subjects. Obey me, you all!"

She pointed the cameras and by symbolism the people of these worlds.

Lord General of the 6th Expeditionary fleet: "All Hail Salem!"

All soldiers in the fleet: "All Hail Salem! All Hail Salem! All Hail Salem!"

[End of the theme].

To be continued… the Razing of Monarchia.

The Emperor learns about Monarchia, disappointed to the highest by his son acts. He decided to take action and punish him for spreading a false religion.
