"Fellow Terrans, I come to you in the wake of recent events to issue a call to reason. Let no human deny the perils of our time. While we battle one another, divided by the petty strife of our common history, the great tide of greater conflict is turning against us, threatening to destroy all we have accomplished. It is time for us as nations and as individuals to set aside our long divided feuds and unite. The tides of an unwinnable war are upon us, and we must seek refuge upon higher ground, lest we be swept away by the flood.
The Confeseracy is no more! Whatever symbols of unity and protection it once provided is a phantom, a memory. With our enemies left unchecked, who will you turn to for protection? The devastation wrought by our alien invaders is self-evident. We have seen our homes and communities destroyed by the calculated blows of the Protoss. We have seen first hand our friends and loved ones consumed by the nightmarish Zerg. Unprecedented and unimaginable though it may be, these are the signs of our time.
The time has come, my fellow Terrans, to rally to a new banner. In unity lies strength; already many dissident factions have joined us. Out of the many we shall forge an indivisible whole capitulating only to a single throne, and from that throne I shall watch over you. From his day forward let no human make war upon any other human, let no Terran agency conspire against this new beginning, and let no man consort with alien powers, and to all enemies of humanity; seek not to bar our way, for we shall win through, no matter the cost!"
The video was spread across the Koprulu Sector and many contemplating about his speech, but others hardened their hearts of the fact that he turned on them.
Acturus sat on his newly terraformed capital of Korhal. Waiting as he watched the polls skyrocket.
He laughed as he drank his wine as classical music was played to soothed his fears.
Especially the Umojan and the Imperium.
They sent him almost limitless resources and at the zenith of the fall of the confederacy, he became the ruler of ashes of a kingdom and he believes that he successfully backstabbing both organization.
The Umojan have more hatred as he enacted what is basically a Cold war between them. They gave him the tools to hang their own necks...
He gritted his teeth as he thought of the latter.
The Celestial Imperium handiwork.
His wife Julianna Pasteur, daughter of one of the Umojans that funded his regime, the mother of Valerian Mengsk had gone missing.
She contracted Cancer during his journey of revenge, but she never told him about it, much like she never told him about his son.
His investigation team found that she disappeared the moment he sent his family to the place to provide better protection until some anti-dominion ambushed the convoy. He had a inkling that Alexander had something to do with it.
While he is a monster in human skin, she was definitely one of those that knew his weaknesses.
He pressed the comms.
"Secretary, Tell, my son to come here."
"Understood Emperor Mengsk, your son will arrive shortly."
Emperor Mengsk... That word made his ego sastified.
He did wonder, why would Alexander preferred to called himself the High Lord instead of Emperor?
(Because he is loyal to the true Emperor of Mankind.)
He waited for a while overseeing the planet he once grown up, that was nuked to oblivion, now refurbished and remade in his own image...
He ponder as he waited for his son, about his supposed rival in question...
Alexander Solair...
He disappeared after the Tarsonis incident.
And all the planets that joined his imperium were as hostile towards him, despite Alexander was not leading them.
Arcturus wanted to use coercion, but realized that it was basically impossible as they are brainwash to be fanatically zealous.
Making his natural charisma meaningless.
He tried to send a drop pod containing a Zerg Drone to infest one of the fringes of imperial holding and hoping to probe their defense and response time, it was destroyed in Record time.
If Alexander got the people, he got the specialist that Alexander unable to gather.
Especially the Five unfinished Odins mechs that is unable to be finished in record time.
He heard a knock on the door.
"Father... Did you call for me?" A voice was heard beyond the room.
"Come in son..."
The door opened and revealed a blond haired man, if he was in warcraft he would be called Arthras...
He stood by the door as if waiting for the his father response
"Come in boy, I have something to speak to you." Acturus beckon Valerian to approach his desk.
Valerian nodded as he waited for his father.
"Tell me son, did you know what happened to your mother?" He asked.
Valerian was surprised.
"No, I haven't, she disappeared from my sight as well." He gave his thoughts on the matter.
Acturus aimed at his son face as if to screen that he is lying... But he closed his eyes as he waved his hand away.
"Fine, Son... Tell me how was your training?"
"Doing well father... I already completed my basic training and learn to lead my squad, my trainer gave good mark father."
Acturus nodded as he gave a soft smile.
"Alright son... You may resume your duties."
Valerian exited from the office of his father.
While he did said that he didn't know where is his mother... He was aware of the person that taken her.
The very same man that his father hated and respected... Taken his mother away.
During his father coronation to the throne, he and his mother was in a convoy reaching his father palace, when they were attacked by the rebels that was members of the old confederacy and despite the guards that consists the sons of Korhal attempted to defend their objective, they were killed.
"You should be ashamed that you have blood of that monster flowing in your veins." One of the assailant aimed his gauss rifle at Valerian skull. The steaming gun barrel hissed at Valerian perfect golden hair.
Valerian almost accepted his fate until a figure approached the downed convoy.
"Who the hell are you?!" The assailants aimed their guns at the arrival.
"I am here for my godson." The figure simply spoke.
"Hosti-" the leader about to yelled that the figure before them was not friendly, he was sliced to pieces.
Those around him focused on the bigger threat to them. They immediately fired at the general location of the figure that was like a blur to their sensors. The more they fight, it was like he already turned invincible from their sensors.
"The bastard is gone!"
Gauss bullets riddled the landscape.
"No, he got something that make our sensor unable to see him! Use your own eyes!?"
One of them cried out.
As they removed their helmets, it made them a target. As each gunshots sounded, one of them splattered their blood on the ground, unable to escape.
A crippled woman with cancer and a brat that have no skin in the game is worthless.
Amongst the screams, he approached them, as their numbers held no meaning to a power.
For a solid 5 minutes, the ambush teams were killed in action.
Valerian looked up to the man that saved them...
"Why?" Was his only word.
The man smiled at Valerian kindly as he tended to his wounds.
"Your mother... Have designated me as your godfather... Valerian. I came to fulfill my duties."
Valerian watched as he held his unconscious mother in his arms.
He wanted to stop him.
"Valerian... Your mother is sick with cancer...
Your father may not be able to save her, The Umojans can prolonged her life, but unable to cure her. But the Celestial Imperium... We have the medical technology to cure her and the power to keep her safe... If you want to see her again... Become strong. But never end up like your father that uses people like a tool. When you have standing to speak to me... Then we shall speak. Farewell Valerian." The figure disappeared from his view.
As if he wasn't there.
Acturus sent his elites to the site and only found his dead soldiers and unconscious son. Whose wounds were already tended with bandages.
The attack have enraged Acturus as he cracked down on the Rebel groups.
But Valerian knows... That the figure is keeping his mother safe.
He strived to meet his unknown godfather expectations...
While Mengsk is brooding over the issues of the his little kingdom.
Alexander Solair watched as he oversee Julianna Pasteur is being cured from cancer.
The woman in question is already stabilized and now in comatose state due to her brain slowly adjusting the brain that is being cured.
He smiled as he got more... Political cards in his hands... To Valerian that he spoke of.
Yes, she did told him to be his godfather before Acturus decided to burn bridges with him.
And he is one to uphold his promises.
He did wanted Acturus to be his spokesperson as controlling more and more sectors would have been impossible, so he would have been designated Dominion of Man as a protectorate status. With little tithe and absolute protection from the imperium for them to thrive in.
And he would have left the Dominion of man alone.
But the fact Acturus ambition already disappointed him. He would place his bets on the prodigal son of his.
As he arrived at his office. It was simple and clean, with a scent of oak and mahogany that littered the air. As he was not that gaudy to present all his skulls that he aquire from pirates that had the balls to try their luck to raid the Imperium.
He wrote contingency and protocols if Acturus and UED forces to barge in.
He simply waited for Raynor to make a call.
And the call he did.
"Boss, seems like Ol' jimmy have been dragged to Aiur, seemed like we got arrested by some conclave and we are part of a crime.. This time I teaming with that lil' greyskin Tassadar along and I planted a Beacon on what they called Aiur or some shit. And we would like to request reinforcements. And my lil' old baby needs some tune up... Field repairs done so much for my big boi before we are overrun here." Tychus spoke.
Alexander smiled as he already got a excuse to send his armies once more.
The first excursionto this secret place of the Protoss.
This time, they were more... Prepared.
Perhaps... He would meet Artanis. By his estimation, he would be sent to arrest Tassadar in Char by then, he already known Zeratul for the power that he seek to destroy the Zerg, and Artanis will arrive on the planet in order of the Conclave because of his hesitation to butcher humanity. And Raynor would be arrested as well.
Maybe... He grinned.
Why don't he get and plunder their technology? As they are locked away without use, Alexander smiled as he rushed to the orbital docking bays of Mar Sara. The first Warhammer ship is already prepped for launch as its glimmering hull is fresh from the orbital Dockyards of Mars Sara.
A Retribution class was now undergoing their final checks... Sure he could summoned endless fleets, but the very first ship that is made by the hands of this galaxy denizens made him proud.
The Protoss technology is sorely needed and they would never allow humans to even catch a glimpse.
He have plenty things to ste- borrow from them. And Trazyn is out of communication, probably cataloguing things beyond communication range and he prefer not to be disturbed.
Especially that liquid that kept their versions of dreadnought called Dragoons alive.
If he could get a intact dragoon and blueprints for the Mechanicum to reverse engineered it... He would have no qualms getting the Astartes Dreadnought in full force.
He heard the complaints from the Space marine legions, that he refused their wise ones to fight alongside with them... But if the Protoss technology helped improve their dreadnought brethrens to live longer, without killing them... Then the legion would truly be complete.
Or the supposed Solarite, to the Protoss it just a outdated power source at this moment, for him, it's used to make lasguns more powerful. The kyber crystal had made them akin to a mini death star... But with Solarite? Might as well have the power of the sun constantly. As the death star beam is just only a week of earth sunlight.
He grinned, this galaxy technology is... Perfect.
He knows all the actors personality.
And the moment Tassadar killed the Overmind. It would be a free for all.
Kerrigan is a wild card.
Originally, Alexander pondered. Raynor was one of them... But he is more well equipped than before.
But Mengsk ? He is just a problem for tomorrow... As of now, he is just built on shaky foundation... And burning more bridges would make him a moron.
Especially the UED Armada is heading here.
He can't fight on a all out brawl with flimsy defenses as well.
Since now, the space marine is slowly trickling into this universe. Not enough to warrant the Dark god attention as their figures is similar to the Terran Marines...
But if he sent legion after legions... The hybrids would be released earlier than schedule.
As of now, this space Marines he brought is enough to hide in the PDF forces of power armor.
If the UED wanted to attack Mars Sara..
He would make them bleed.
(A/n): Life is getting hard here.
There is a local lockdown for that Africa Mosquito outbreak.
How on earth did it reach the north is a question. As we are basically close to Russia borders.... We being called to the police station to be interrogated for the carrier of the sickness.
The world gotten crazy, more censorship especially the utility companies?
Since when they care about children?
Happened on my first week, I was supposed to guard a package in a black market.
I didn't ask why... Not paid to think.
I seen plenty of children in Myanmar that been sold long before this shit happens.
I couldn't save them. Because even if I bought them freedom, I would be accused for smuggling children and forced to send them back to their parents, their own parents would have sold them back. And instead of hopefulness, it is hatred. There was even a 14 year old twins in the local black market, boy and girl, sold their bodies for money...
Boy for their ass... And mouth, his sister is selling her ass. And nobody bat a eye. When I first heard about it... I thought I was the crazy one. They would have been in school going for a brighter future, but I see them in a corner selling for dirt cheap.
"Get used to it, this place is abandoned by god and nobody cared about some bastard children..." That's what my wrangler told me.
First time I held a smoke... Calmed me nerves.
I asked if un cared?
"A joke, they are just a giant money laundering organization, why else some of their members reach out for the organ harvesting for cheap, despite we can clone new organs?" He spoke as I watched one of the teams that accompanied us dragged the girl into a brothel... The eyes
... So dead. It haunted me.
I wanted to help... Perhaps use the time to ask why would they sold their own bodies at least save them from this momentary pain.
My wrangler stopped me.
"Even if you wanted to help... You just be a dead hero that is forgotten by the 9 o'clock news... The party have shares in this black market, cause a ruckus... You might end up dead."
I can hear the screams... But I am unable to help.
And these moral busy bodies want to pretend they cared about children?
I seen the grooming gangs, and especially the smugglers that was station in UK mentioned that they prefer to live in the Balkans. Yes, they seen so much shit, and the parliament is crazy? Parents are irresponsible to the point they allowed politician to be their caretaker?
Congratulations, minus one point of democracy: Giving politician more power by them using your fears and disgust to increase their power.
"Think of the children"
"Drugs are bad"
"Terrorism is bad, but not for us."
"VPN is dangerous"
"Porn is bad, when you don't even get parental controls for your child phone to fuck us over?"
This excuses is pushing for a global id.
We known in China the amount of cameras didn't prevent the criminals.. only the dissenting folks that disagree with them.
And you desperately want the west to be like us?
Anyway, for ya Brits in the isles... Ye got 6 months to rethink ya life. Hopefully Starmer is out and people would chose something other than Farage... The UK reform is a joke.
Wasn't there someone else that desperately waving the Union Jack than that slimy bastard that bowed to foreigners in the party?
Book time
I can't believe my eyes. I had to retranslate the English several times in my language about Warhammer Terminus decree ...
Wot the fock?
How on earth can a thousand Grey knights breached into Holy Terra to put our beloved Emperor back to the dying throne?
Logistics is crazy, but them facing the Entirety might of humanity finest, of not just the Solar Fleet.
The Jupiter Dockyards, Mars Defense fleets.
And the Phalanx?
How can they breach that? When Warmaster Horus and half of the galaxy was tossed to terra itself?
Even if they reached the orbit, the Great Void shield that is more advanced to protect Terra from orbital bombardment, hence why the Traitor legions led by Horus forced to drop pod into the sacred soil.
They have to face the numerous Knight houses, The Janissaries that accompanied the faithful, Custodes, Lucifer blacks and sister of battle, sister of silence, and the elites of the elites. And the heavily defended planet in the galaxy no less?
The defenders definitely fight these unknown invaders.
How would they even to get pass the identification ? Since they are a unmarked chapter, the current Lords of Terra wouldn't even know about them. You raised alarms.
Only the Custodes, since they been there since their creation. They would wonder why the fock are the Grey knights and their Battle barges and cruisers joined all at once is here on holy Terra? Instead of killing daemons?
Even the mechanicus that is wary of this unknown fleet. Would definitely attack them for the supposed treasure and their honor defense pact with Terra.
Good luck getting past the eternity gate that been defended by two titans that never had toilet breaks.
And those oiled up abs Custodes ripped their skulls in a blood game. Or the sisters of silence that negate their powers?
The Grey knight are just roided up Space Marine with Magnus power and Emperor geneseed that is focused on demonology.
And they are facing Custodes that been trained by the emperor and been his closest advisors.
And in the event of putting the supposed god Emperor turned warp entity...
How the fock they do that?
They got their asses kicked by Angron in his chaos form of a Demon prince no less with months of preparation no less.
How the fock they would do to a higher level than a demon prince that they lost and force him into the throne?
And don't forget, didn't the Emperor made contingency the moment he died, the Warp hole that breached into the web way, no less would engulfed terra the moment he stepped out the throne? Much less died on the spot?
Or Vulkan final device? the Talisman of Seven Hammers? Good luck the last send-off to the universe as a biggest f you to chaos. I know we need a vulkan, what make the grey knight think that the reborn emperor want to sit back on that torture chair? Even the Drukhari, yes, the very same BDSM freaks of nature mentioned that throne made to them wonder on how torturous it is to seat on that?
This is worse than the female custodes thinking that engaging a Exterminatus from orbit of Terra during a blood game would make her a winner.
Even I don't want to mess the lore that much.
Yes, I know wrote for my character perks is crazy, but not that crazy.
Some things are best left alone to make it a mystery to entertain. That's why I never go back to the War in Heaven. Because that is really a crazy hellscape. Wasn't the Terminus decree original hinted the end of all space marines? A plague of sorts? Why did it turn into breach the golden palace to put the emperor in the throne?
