Baal

With the matters of the Inquisition dealt with I quickly began to depart Holy Terra. Guilliman had to excuse himself and follow his father's orders, taking the Inquisitor and marching towards the Inquisition's base on Terra. Belisarius Cawl was still hanging around and honestly I was interested in bringing him along with me. If I was to resurrect the Angel, then I would need someone that the Blood Angels would recognise... I may have the Custodes with me but that doesn't mean anything to the Space Marines, well, not much anyway.

"Cawl, do you wish to come with me to Baal?"

"Query, why?"

"The Emperor wishes me to aid him as part of our alliance, first, I shall resurrect the Angel."

His mechanisms twitched and whirred as his powered eyes glowed intensely. I could almost physically feel the elation at being able to aid in the such an endeavour whilst being able to see a process that he and others like him had been incapable of achieveing.

"I will accompany you."

"Good."

I started to walk, my women walking beside me as If i was the only thing stopping them from getting mugged or something. Behind us were the loud echoing thuds of Custodes' power armour against the flooring. The Captain general was coming with us along with twenty Custodes and forty Sisters of Silence. Just as I started to wonder how long their assembly will require the Sisters of Silence appeared, many of them bald with ponytails dangling off of their heads.

My wives seemed perfectly fine with their presence, the same being the case for me... This could not be said of Belisarius as he showed some discomfort and minor unease at their presence. They were Nulls and this was the usual reaction, our lack of reaction seemed to set the women off into frenzy of hand signs. I naturally understood their way of communicating after mere seconds of witnessing it, but I ignored it, it was inconsequential.

At this stage we were ready to depart. I tapped the air in front of me, a screen emerging from seemingly nothing as the entire contingent of Custodes watched on in minor amazement. The Sister of Silence were more surprised than their counterparts as Psychic ability was supposed to be impossible for people near them. Tapping the screen the image of the Admiral on my ship emerged.

"Supreme Commander! What can we do for you?"

"Get a transport down to the surface of Terra, use the codes we have received from Guilliman... Be prepared to house 61 people on the Justiciar."

"Yes Supreme Commander. It will be done... May I Inquire our next intended destination so that I might be ready for your arrival?"

"Baal." After saying the planet name I gave him exact spatial coordinates and then cut off the communications link. Thus, we stood there for a minute or two as not too far from the bridge a ship of a rather bulky size appeared, it hovered off the side of the bridge and had a walkway extend from the entrance hatch.

Walking over to it and floating upwards into the ship I settled myself down in one of the more regal looking chairs, followed by my wives who sat near to me. Then, one by one, the Custodes followed with their gleaming golden armour causing light to refract into bright blue and white hues. Once they were all in Cawl came in, the transport leaving soon after as we were headed to the Dark Justiciar.

The travel was short and all exited onto the main hangar bay of my capital ship. I was immediately greeted by the bridge officers and the Admiral, getting updates on the fleet and the Justiciar itself. The Custodes followed me, the emotionless behemoths they mostly were. Cawl was absolutely fascinated by the sights around him and even more surprised when Justiciara appeared next to me, her non-physical form causing Cawl to figuratively raise his eyebrow using his emotions. Justiciara mainly wanted to inform me that some more weapons tests had been conducted inside the ship and that the new armaments for ground combat would be ready soon.

"Justiciara, please look into titan-esque military units and the possibilities of creating our own and pitching them... Sorry to work you hard but we may need it in the near future."

"Yes Mistress, I shall look into it immediately. As for the apologies, it is much appreciated but I love working for you, so please ask me for anything." She gave me a small wink before disappearing, my wives raising an eyebrow at me before sighing in defeat. I awkwardly laughed as I followed them. That was when I picked up the stray thought from Cawl...

'Much more advanced than my pets. Perhaps a subject I could learn on.'

Shaking my head slightly I just proceeded onwards. By the time I had gotten to the bridge of the Justiciar we were all prepared to exit the Sol System and get to Baal. The trip would be instant but the convenience was still appreciated.

"Helmsman, Initiate the Wormhole drives."

"Yes Commander!"

He pressed a button and the usual scene appeared in front of our fleet, Guilliman's vessel already having left and re-joined with the Battlefleet Solar. Light disappeared then re-appeared as we were now tens of thousands of lightyears away, perhaps even more. 

Before us was a system scarred with combat, numerous vessels of various description lying in space dead and abandoned, scraps being all that remains. Amidst these massive floating tombs one could spot several planets within the Baal System, one of them being a reddened planet... The home world of The Angel, Sanguinius. 

'Let's get this party started shall we!?'
