1 Where Are We Brother?
"Hurry my sons! Let us avenge what has been lost to the hands of these traitors!" A large man yelled as he pointed his sword towards the endless hordes of daemon filth. Giving one last battle cry. The heroic Primarch and his sons charged into battle. Slaughtering every immaterial creature in sight the only thing on the primarchs mind is driving his sword deep into Angron's heart. Even if he had ascended to daemon hood. It will not stop Aleticus Solaris, 21st son of the Emperor of Mankind and Primarch of the Solar Knights.
In the midst of this large struggle for dominance. A large quake shook the nonexistent ground below the Primarchs feet. Looking upwards, Aleticus noticed what can only be called a giant wave of warp liquids rushed him and his legion.
*Aleticus POV*
'Darkness. Is this what it has come to? I die to some malignant wall of warp stuff!?!?! This is most certainly not the way I wanted to die for the imperium, but non the less. I died avenging my father and my dear brother Sanguineous... I would have it no other way' my thoughts were interrupted by a shining white orb floating in the abyss. I blinked once and it was directly in front of me. It began to speak to me, its voice thundering in psychic power and with all too much familiarity.
" Close your eyes my son, we do not have much time." He said to me. " Father? What has happened?" I asked, wondering of his current predicament. " My son. Go forth with your brother and rebuild the imperium." Like that the orb expanded blinding my vision. I come to what feels to be a cold rock floor with water dripping on my face. Quickly rising I look forward and see a forest at the entrance of this cave.
*3rd POV*
Aleticus stopped briefly, thinking of his father's words before continuing out the cave. Aleticus wishes he could have done more for his father. Yet here he is. On a backwater planet in the middle of nowhere. Taking in the planet's fresh air. Aleticus presses forward.Hoping that he can find a small village.
While on his search, the sound of atmospheric engines began to roar. Aleticus finds some cover under a nearby canopy as three large transport craft flew overhead. None of which boasted the Aquila, or any mark of an imperial faction for that matter.
Convinced that this world has not yet been touched by the emperor's majesty. He decides to follow the aircraft. Not before running into trouble of course. Several Grimm had ambushed the lost primarch. Ursa's, beowolfs, and a couple of death stalkers. Though nothing a son of the Emperor cannot handle. Quickly dispatching the lesser grim with his sword. Aleticus used his psychic power to burn the remaining Ursa's to ashes. Now only leaving the death stalkers.
One had rushed Aleticus while the other added pressure to his flank. He lunged forward cutting off one of the Death stalkers' stingers rendering ineffective, turning his attention to the other threat. Aleticus finds himself on the ground, having been tackled by the death stalker.
*Aleticus POV*
Being tackled by this atrocious fiend is nothing to be proud of for certain. Now I stair at this golden stinger ready to end my life as its bearer stands proudly above me. " Only humanity has the right to wear gold on its person. not you filth. I grab for one of its claws. Grabbing a hold of it, I tear it off sending the beast into a pained frenzy. Offering me a moment to catch my bearing and ready for the killing blow. Taking the broken off claw I ram it into the creature's undesirable face, ending its undeserving life for good.
Having taken a brief moment to understand what happened I move to grab my sword and continue forward. These creatures are not to be underestimated. I will not let myself get bested by such archaic waste of existence again.
*3rd POV*
Aleticus continues his pursuit. Though not out of sight of certain prying eyes.
"Sir, the target had just wiped out an entire Grimm patrol... What are my orders?".
"Follow it, when the time is right. Capture it.."
Wandering through the forest is slowly getting on Aleticus's nerve. He needs to know where he is at, and with this current pace. Nothing will get done.
*Pursuer POV*
The target stopped? I wonder what he is doing. A brief moment of silence had stunned me. He had ceased all movement completely. What is happening? A sudden electrical shock surged the air around me as I watched the mammoth humanoid run at record breaking speeds through the forest, it is pointless to chase it. I will just have to follow the footprints and see where I end up.
*Aleticus POV*
I know that presence. Brother? It can't be. You had fallen by the hand of Horus. He is in great pain. I must save him.
His presence is getting closer.
*??? POV*
" What do you think it is, Mo?"
" pfft, hell if i know. Either way we best be glad that it isn't awake, or else we would be on the walls right now."
" heh, right?"
*BOOOMMM*
*3rd POV*
Aleticus had charged through a thick concrete wall to see 30 figures strapping his brother onto a large rail cart. Seeing this put Aleticus into a blind fury. He drew his sword and cut the inhabitants to pieces, even exploding some heads with his psychic abilities causing whatever contents left to leak onto the floor. Finishing up, Aleticus cut the restraints off of his brother and lifted him onto his feet, supporting him as he did so.
*Aleticus POV*
" My dear brother Sanguineous. I thought you were dead?" I asked him, I only received a pained grunt from him. " Come, let us leave this place.". I walk my brother out of this compound to a nearby pod with large enough rocks to lay him upon.
" Where... Are....... We....... Aleticus." Sanguineous asked me." I don't know dear brother. Whatever unknown planet this is. It has not been graced by our father's truth." I replied. Sanguineous let out several more pained grunts until I managed to help ease his pain with some supplements an apothecary gave to me before the crusade into the eye of terror.
" Only father knows of our whereabouts." I shared. " I know dear brother." the angel said with a pained voice.
" I know.".
