The Imperium
Princess Piña and her companions were waiting for Transports to Alnus hill until they heard rumbling and Noises from machines then flying carts came over head(Land Speeders and yes they can fly)Then Horseless Carriages arrived.
The Knight before stepped out.
"Princess, Please Step inside." He said
Princess Piña obliged and went inside and took a seat. When her companions were all in side.
She then noticed Rory The Reaper, The Elf and The Blue Haired Wizard she saw last time.
She cleared her Throat to try to get the attention of Rory, It didnt work the first time so she tried, Again and Again.
"What do you want?"Rory Almost screamed out of annoyance.
"Why are you working with The Other Worlders?" Beefeater beat Piña to the question.
"Because they interest me, These have been surrounded by so much death, I collapsed the moment I came into Contact with them." Rory replied
"What about you, Elf?"Beefeater turned to Tuka.
"T-They Saved me and My father from a dragon." Tula Answered
"Wizard?"Asked Grey
"Yes?" Replied Lelei
"How about you? Why join these Men of Iron?"
"Because they have knowledge exceed that of our own and they treat everyone fairly with no discrimination, unlike the Empire."
"We've arrived" the driver said.
"H-How?" Asked Piña.
They stepped out of the vehicle and looked out into the city, They were inside The Fortress of The Men of Iron. It was magnificent clearly beating the Best the Empire had to offer, Men with weird armor that had no weapons but were carrying these weird box-like objects that had a strap and they slung the objects on their shoulders like bags, These men were running around in groups of 10-13, Taller Elves were walking around, some were talking to each other, They looked to the walls More men of Iron Patrolling, while some of their presumed servants were zooming around, Piña was confused, "Did they replace the legs of their servants with wheels?" She wondered.
"Let's Go."Said the knight from before.
They Followed The Golden Knight to the gate, But it was deactivated.
"Hardy Appears to have Closed the gate to your world, and you are stranded here." Rory Said.
Piña and Her company were happy that, These men of Iron Were trapped on their world and in small numbers.
"Oh, That gate closed a long time ago, So we built our own." Said that custodian. They were obviously confused, "Follow me."
They followed the custodian to a building in the middle of the fortress It was a large one at that. That housed a webway gate, When the Feudals saw the webway gate They were both shocked and Afraid, These other worlders made a gate of their own, Clearly surpassing The Gods.
"H-How?" Stuttered Piña
"The Webway? Oh these were built by a race that created life and The Eldar inherited it, We just extended it, So it can reach this planet and galaxy." Answered The Custodian
They then boarded transports which went through the Gate and was headed to the Imperial Palace.
Timeskip.
After a few minutes they arrived at the imperial palace, When they emerged from the Webway gate. they were awe-struck, It was as the survivors said, Gold as far as the eye can see. They looked around and saw lots of things, More Golden Knights studying the Gate with these weird Men with Axes cackling with lightning covered in red robes and upon closer inspection their faces were like machinations like a mix between man and machine (Tech Priests), More of the Tall Elves(That's what the farmartians call The Aeldari) Also studying the Gate of Hardy.
Then an automaton, Glowing green holding a spear, Wearing a cape approached the research team and said something to them and then they nodded.
People moved away from the gate, And then three fingered Boxy golems with Golden features ( Dreadnoughts ) approached the gate and tore it apart, Stone by Stone.
"W-What are they doing?!" Exclaimed Piña.
"They are taking it apart to see how it works and how it's activated." Replied the Custodian.
As they left the chamber. Someone popped the question.
"Where are we?" Hamilton asked.
"We are in the Imperial Palace and that gate was in one of our numerous chambers."
"H-How big is this palace?" Asked Tuka
"In simple terms it is as big as the continent, All of it covered in gold. If anyone asks." Answered the custodian.
As they were walking they saw two sisters of battle talking side by side.
"Look princess, They have female knights too." Said Bozes
Then one of the Mechanicus adepts that was walking, and he Slipped on something.
"wait a minute... STOP!" Shouted the custodian."Something's not right here.." then His eyes widened "Oh no.." he muttered
then three shadowy figures popped out of nowhere and it was...
The Three Stripperteers
The custodian thought to himself, "Hey Karstodes, Wammudes and Custodisi, Why aren't you in the break room?"
"It was boooooorrrrringgg In there." Said Karstodes
"We aren't allowed to reveal our GLORIOUS. OILY .RIPPED bodies outside of the break room, It's blasphemy! IT IS BLASPHEMY!"Said Custodisi.
"Brother, are these the feudals The Emperor called for?"Asked Wamuudes
"Yes and can we go now?" Answered the custodian.
"Well, answer this question first, where is Hotstuff?"Asked Wammuudes.
The Custodian slowly pulled out a thunder hammer with The word 'Prohibition Hammer' on it's handle.
"Yare Yare Daze Wamuu. You know the protocol when you'll ask for Magnus-"
"Hotstuff" Wammudes interjected.
(Warning horrible usage of a meme ahead!)
Custodian:
Wammudes:NANI!
The custodian then swung the Prohibition hammer like a baseball bat and hit Wammudes in the stomach and Wammudes was blasted away by the sheer force of the hit and landed on the other side of the enormous hallway in other words, The other side of the continent.
"We hear you loud and clear, puppy." Said Karstodes
"And do be careful, We're having the blood games today." Said Custodisi
They then jumped to recover Wammudes.
"W-Who were they?" Asked Piña both confused and flustered actually each and every woman in the group were flustered.
"They are The Shield Captains of the Talons of the Emperor, One of the best warriors of the Imperium with or without armor." Said the Custodian
"What's a Blood Game?" Asked Hamilton as she asked this a faint roar is heard.
"Don't worry about it."Said the Custodian.
They then reached eternity gate. A Gate filled with portraits of The Imperium's Rise and the Greatest battles humanity has ever fought.
The Giant doors opened And it revealed a Golden Throne and infront of it a round table where what they assumed to be princes sat there were Banners behind each seat with names,
One was blue with a toilet seat with the words Ultramarines crossed out and replaced with Ultrasmurfs Roboute Guilliman crossed out replaced with Papa Smurf.
Another was the Hydra With the words Alpha Legion and under it Primarchs Alpharius Omegon.
Another was a picture of a burning planet with a Phoenix in the background with the names World Eaters , Angron
Two were blank and closer inspection of the Insignias, half of the Banners had Phoenixes in the background (I'll explain later)
Then near the Throne a golden Haired angel stood next to a Man with tanned skin, long Black Luxurious hair, Wearing gold armor. They were talking until, The one in Golden armor Noticed them.
He said
Well, How are you guys? Practicing social distancing? And I'll explain later why The Traitors are in the imperial palace and back into the fold. And also why Sanguinius is back
