In a era when the federation still stood, before the age what was known as Alexander purge.
A child ran with a group of children as they reached a secret place in a forest clearing that no adults, ever saw them.
"Come on, we need to check our secret hideout is okay!" The boy that acted as the leader of the group spoke out as they arrived at the treehouse in the clearing.
A makeshift treehouse was made on the top of the lone tree that overlooked at the field of flowers. To them, it was a secret hideout that no adults would ever find them. Created by their peers before them.
But as soon as they rushed towards their house. They found someone sitting underneath at the base of their tree.
A metal armored giant that is colored white, red and blue, sitting silently as he gaze at the field of flowers. (A/n: guess the legion)
"Whoa... Isn't that a space marine?"
"In this planet?"
"Mother, told us that they are scary..." A child clung to her doll.
The giant of a man looked at the group of children. He smiled.
"So... You are the owner of this place?" He spoke. His tone is deep and cold.
"Yeah, our group owns that treehouse." The leader of the group pointed at the treehouse above him.
"Looks shabby?" The Astartes amused.
"Heh, we did it by our own."
"At least we did it without adult help."
"Then I would say, impressive."
The children gotten closer and inspected the man before them.
He was giant, more bigger than their own parents.
"What's it's like to be a space marine?"
"Brother... Please don't bother him." His sister tugged the cloth of her brother.
"Duty. And to protect people of this planet."
The giant laughed. As he patted the boy head lightly.
"Boy, you have more guts than the rest of the children I see."
"Of course, I am Lionheart, my dad called me that because I will face my fear."
"Oh, so I am scary to you then?"
"Nope, You should have seen my mother, she is more scary than you, when she have a bad day."
"You make a fine space marine." The giant smile softly.
As days gone by, the children slowly bonded with this giant of a man.
"Mister, Space marine, Can you accept my gift?" A child held out a flower crown, though it barely fit into his head.
"If I make one, will you save us?"
"Perhaps little one."
The giant simply accepted the gift.
It was just a regular as the Astarte got close with the kids until, the day... Things changed for the worse.
The federation changed their perception of Alexander to the point that it was staggering.
Even on the planet that is on the fringes of human controlled space is no exceptions.
"Kill the spawn of Satan!" The adults changed their personalities overnight...
The federation was engulfed in a civil war like none ever seen.
Brother against brother, father against son, daughter against their mothers. They died in various ways.
Many due to various reason, they hate the Imperial Church, they hate the Sky Marshall that lead it. They hate the fact that he destroyed what is their entitlement... As if their hatred amplified to a absurdity.
Inciters of the abrahamic religion spout hatred and vitriolic words to add to the fire, Segregation, racial wars and rebellion spouted up daily.
Political dissidents riots on the streets.
They began to Inflicted more harm to their own people than what the Arachnid ever did.
People's homes destroyed and dragged out their families and burn them as well. People were crucified by the hundreds as they bled dry.
The child, that gave the gentle giant with a flower crown, ran into their secret hideout with what's left of her friends.
Her body is battered, abused and bleeding as the paranoia of her family and neighbors torture her for even speaking to a Space Marine. Her friends fared no better
The leader of their group was burn at the stake by a mad priest.
Her brother was torture by having his hand impaled by their own parents, and his eyes gouged out, Their eyes was like devoid of emotion. He saved her by buying time. His last moments was to urge his sister to go.
Her vision is hazy and blurred as blood is slowly drifting, she attempted to go to the secret hideout.
The sounds of the hounds howled as the town began to hunt for her and the remaining of her friends...
Tracking the blood that she trailed behind.
The Space marine that the children was close with, was undergoing compliance in the world capital.
Hordes of crazed people flooding into the space port and killing anything that is not their religion.
Some even set themselves on fire and strapped themselves with improvised explosives and lunged towards the defenders as they are willing to drag the pdf forces with them.
The pdf was demoralized. And the local police was no help as they had a infighting with their possessed associates, forcing the Arbites to step up. The imperial defenders of the laws to stepped from the shadows and armed with shotguns, riot shield and cyber dogs.
The people that they sought to defend turned into a bunch of fanatics, and started attacking several civilians and followers of the the Emperor creed.
"Battle brothers! We will quell the riot! Defend the space port!" His captain yelled as he slaughter the crazed zealots of a false religion.
Some of them were veterans of the former chaos legion and they smell the stench of chaos lingered among the population.
The local Arbites unloaded their stubber rounds into the riots crowds. They already given a warning.
The sounds of police siren never went away.
They managed to butcher their way out and assisted the local pdf forces.
After the defense of the space port, several regiments arrived into the system to quell it for good.
"Captain, allow me to lead several of my brothers to a location, I might worry that there are innocent that needed our aid." The marine spoke.
The Captain Astartes of this garrison pondered and nodded.
"Alright, Lieutenant, take a squad of our battle brothers and seek those that requires our aid. Let the apothecary and a librarian follow you as well. Tell the Techmarine to get a rhino from our legion motor pool."
The space marine, along with several battle brothers ventured to the secret place that he knows several children that might need their aid.
As they arrived a clearing in the forest.
But he felt something was wrong.
"Brother! You are ahead of our formation!" Yelled by one of his battle brother that joined the sprint.
He rushed into the forest in quick haste.
The scene before them was a ghastly sight.
The tree house was burning down.
And the locals at the nearby town, cheering upon the death of the children.
The children that the giant felt attached with was dissected and several of the cursed symbols etched across their bodies. Some of the body parts of the children was held by the denizen and flailing like a ward against evil.
And the people doing some ritual dance around the burning fields.
And below where the treehouse was the child that gave him a flower crown. Impaled by makeshift spears. Her eyes clouded as her life faded away.
The child bled to death as in her palm, held a unfinished flower crown, perhaps hoping to get the space marine to come early.
The Christian priest that lead this hunting party, now marked with the symbols of chaos. Laughing manically as he preached to the maddening masses.
"The gods gave already given us power to defy the false sky marshall, and the corpse emperor worshippers! Soon we will send these false worshippers of their satanic lord to hell! God wills it!" He cackle as he raised the bible now adorned with human leather and the symbol of chaos that is now incorporated into the cross.
Countless voices in that mob agreed with his speech.
A head exploded as the crowd was panicked by the sudden death of their own.
Several more heads exploded as the group panicked as they heard more explosion and the whirling of a chainsaw awaited them.
The space Marines moved silently, they didn't never even shouted their battle cry.
For these foes, didn't need to. To them, what they faced were just beast, nothing more.
The screams and the wails echoes in the burning forest.. pleas of surrender and mercy fell on deaf ears. Blood and brains splattered across the forest floor as if to give atonement to the ones that are lost.
The last of the crazed crowd, was the priest that snarled at them.
"Ye who art false angel of flesh, will never see heaven that my heavenly father shown us!" He spat at the Space marine boots.
The space marine simply stood before him as he gave his final word. His helmet was painted blood as the crimson paint of human remains on his being.
"We been through hell and met demons. And I will reject your heaven." The Space Marine spoke vaguely as he blasted the confused chaos priest skull and sent him to the demons that he wanted.
"There is no signs of life in the auspex, in this sector.."
"What do we do now."
"Librarian, Can you remove this abomination symbols from the children body??"
"I can try, but... To save this bodies from the taint and being warp zombies... To grant them peace for their souls, we must cremate the corpses."
"Do it, at least I find them a place for them to be cremated."
He looked at the direction of the town that the children that spoke of.
"Inform the captain, that that town nearby is already consorted to the taint. Prepare a tactical lance strike from the legion battlebarge."
"Of course, Lieutenant. We will do reconnaissance at the location to see if it's worth saving."
The Astartes managed to make a funeral pyre that overlooked the town, by himself.
It was a funeral that he learned from his father that was a free man.
Because cremation would free the soul and the body of the torment, never to be tainted and molested by the fanatics. Or changed by the daemons of the warp.
Several body parts from the children that he was close with, was placed, covered with purity seals.
The man gently placed the last of the children from the forest on the pryre.
He placed the unfinished flower crown on the child head as she will never wake up.
He held a flamer and set fire on the pyre.
The fires consumed the sin and the corruption that lay within.
Demons attempted to possessed the bodies is screaming in agony as they perished in the warp.
He stared at the flaming inferno that consumed the bodies. His helmet was covering what he was actually thinking.
One of his battle brother approached him.
"Brother... It's confirmed, the taint have spread across the town you mentioned, and we should be away from the lance strike from our battle barges."
The Astartes spoke.
"Let me be alone for a while now."
The battle brother hesitated for a bit and he left.
In a short moment, a beam of light landed at the town nearby.
Engulfing the traitors and the heretics in a single blast, and eradicating the town.
The space marine, just stood there as he bore witness of the destruction.
Sharp rubble and howling gusts splash upon his armor. His purity seals flapping with the wind.
As the last ember consumed the bodies.
He stood there. Until he walked away from the prye.
"Thank you, Mister Space marine." A childish voice sounded along with the wind..
His foot stopped as he took at the last look at the prye.
Several ghost of the children waved him goodbye as they faded away.
A librarian awaited him.
"Lieutenant, prepared for investigation of your soul that is suspected of being consumed by the taint."
The Astartes nodded as he followed the librarian as they left that particular location.
He felt a stasis capsule by his side.
It was the same gift the little one given him.
Still fresh by the day it was made.
His green visor vaguely turned red for a moment until he was called over.
In a war, in a galaxy far far away...
In a unnamed planet for the Republic space that have nothing, but a number in a bureaucrat ledger for mineral production, left forgotten by the inner core.
Battle is raging forth.
Replicae of the republic, is fighting against the imperium forces, not for the people that dwell within.
But the natural resources for the war effort.
Beneath this land is a resource that allowed the republic shipyards to produce ships against the CiS and Imperial forces.
And this planet decided to secede from the Republic and joined the imperium.
Many due to corruption, lack of pay, lack of trades, piracy and the fact their planet barely surviving industry is forced to have the absurd quotas that demanded upon them by forcing them to use outdated equipment. Their chosen politician ignore the issue for so long and left them to rot.
The moment they joined the imperium.
Their way of life became better, every one had a job and they never go hungry, cities and infrastructure was created in weeks. And the ores and minerals were sold at a fair price above market share. Than being industrialized the mining industry, the people were able to do their quotas with minimal effort due to advanced mining equipment to given to them. Factories set up and allowed people to work other than miner. Schools were propped up and taught the illiterate to understand the language.
Piracy was practically nonexistent as plenty of pirate hideouts in imperium space was obliterated.
Those that unable to find work in this newly formed planet, joined the local pdf forces, especially the navy. Making the people more aligned with them, as they were assured that they will not fight, in the war against the Republic, but to defend their planet.
The people felt related to a capital planet called Holy Terra, that is the Home of the God Emperor and the Herald of the Imperium that hear their problem, that cared about its denizens than Corusant that never even hear their cries.
People hardly felt any affection to the republic that abandoned them and demanded heavy taxes. And the propaganda that the imperium is the Pius Deas crusaders that arrived long ago was completely filled with lies.
There was no Witch burnings, their xenos neighbors, yes, they were apprehended and examined, but they were let go after a month or two, not aware that they had been Necron Mind Scarab implanted to their skulls for the duration of the war.
And the imperium inform the masses that it was the creation of the Pius Deas was made by the Republic. Their attempt to copy the imperium ship for their cathedral ships is laughable. And they fought against them long ago.
It brought the skeptical to accept the facts.
However as their wealth grew, the republic controlled territory nearby grew envious and the Politician that lost his major income sent a request to the Senate to attack this nameless planet.
A fleet of Venator arrived at the system.
And immediately opened fire on the pdf naval forces and bombard the fleet with unending fighters without even a warning.
The people of this planet called for aid and a Astartes fleet received its pleas of help
The space marine before, no longer a lieutenant, now a chapter master of his own.
Upon hearing the call of aid from this besiege planet, his fleet arrived to rally the defenses.
Leading the forces that defend the people.
Their enemies blaster pinged off his master crafted armor as the steel halo was under going a cool down.
He watched as the locals that was trying to survive, hiding in a bunker that they made.
A child, looked at him with a curious eyes as the doors closed behind them. As she pondered why did they go so far to defend them?
He saw something in that child eyes.
Hope, Awe or perhaps reverence?
He smiled at them as he turned to his men.
Explosion and debris rattle around them.
The republic walkers rained their artillery upon them.
He glanced at the defenders around him.
Soldiers that wished to defend their planet, they had the opportunity to be cowards, but they stood with them. Their leased Lasguns trembled as they fought the elites of the republic, but their hands held tightly.
The white army of faceless clones that want them to die..
He spoke and many listen.
"Brothers! This world is filled with sin, we shall devour it, to release the darkness from this world, we devour worlds to bring it anew. Our father will never let the taint be our master!
So do we follow our father deeds! we never allow the people that we sought to defend, to be a slaves!"
"We fight against this abomination of a republic. They claim that we are the monster! But all I see in those toy soldiers before us are slave!
Slave to a ideal that they never thought of!
Slave for a government that didn't even care about the people that believe in it!
Slave of a belief that's not their own!
Slave to the Elites of the Republic, the very high riders that our father hated the most!
Our cause is just! We are free! We fight for the people!"
"We fight for liberation! For we are Salvation!" Was his chapter battlecry as many of the defender roared out.
Even the soldiers that heard his speech felt impassioned as they followed their saviors I to battle.
Their chain axes held high as they charged with such ferocity and speed that the replicae was unable to comprehend their tactics. Despite the saturation of blaster fire being lobbed against them.
The blaster only made scorch marks and being deflected by shields until they reached close range..
Even the xenos psyker that is a slave to the republic, gritted his teeth as he held his light saber towards them.
"Kill them all!" The Xenos psyker snarled.
Removing all the bearing of a peacemaker and now indulge in bloodshed, these jedi are echoes of themselves. No longer preached the good of the force, but the blood of the imperials.
He clashed with the slave psyker as his men engaged in close combat,the blows of his chain axe weight heavy as the xenos did some technique to attempt to deflect his blows.
The xenos psyker raise his hands and used something to bring his armor to a halt as he attempted to slice the marine head off, but the space marine through his willpower moved the armor alone.
And in doing the space marine, managed to deflect the lightsaber with ease and made the psyker to lose his lightsaber, by gripping the hand and crush it.
It caused the Jedi to scream in pain as the bones in his arm is sticking out.
The chapter master headbutted the xenos psyker with such a force that it cracked the republic xenos psyker skull.
He didn't care how dirty it is, it is how he does the fight, only on how effective it can be.
Then the xenos psyker attempted to use telekinesis to attempt to backstab the space marine using the fallen lightsaber he dropped. But he felt like he was trying to pull a planet.
But as he was casually punched to near death, by the sheer blows of the space Marines punch equivalent of a elephant armed with a rocket booster.
Many of the replicae nearby attempted to stop the chapter master, but by then the steel halo already recharge and deflected all the blaster fire.
A librarian casually approached the battlefield. Sending sparks of lightning and warp fire at the replicae. He hummed as he watched the floating lightsaber that still attempted to hit the chapter master.
Engulfing the slaves replicae in bitter agony as they tried to rolled around to put out the flames. But the flames of the warp is unable to be fizzle out.
"Chapter master, we have already won this battle field. This sector is now cleared."
The chapter master turned around and stepped aside from the lightsaber path and the librarian allowed it to sail across and hit the xenos psyker own abdomen. Killing the Jedi by his own weapon.
"Chief librarian... Is this war over soon?"
"Well, there is compliance in this world. But seeing how the locals defending this place... I believe that it would be a ease of transferring permanently to the Imperium holdings.
Unless you are planning this place to be a chapter homeworld?"
The space marine, looked at the desolate wasteland...
And he turned to the skies, he could hear his battle barges is fighting the invaders.
And glimpses of light trailing in the void.
He sighed as he gave the order that this place is now under his protection.
The administratum already accepted the request and made it suitable to recruit local to be space marines.
He touched the stasis capsule by his armor.
He looked at the old flower crown from a group of children he met so long ago...
"Time to give the surviving replicae a choice..." He spoke.
He smiled a bit as he headed to the capital that the fighting was the heaviest, the replicae in unknowingly not seen the death of their psyker commander, due to radio interference.
A message rang out across the planet.
"Surrender or die, your commander is now dead and we have you surrounded. Make your choice or we will make that for you!"
Many of the replicae looked around and noticed the glare of the people they are fighting against.
Some units raised their arms in surrender.
While other fought to the last men.
Dragging many of the people with them.
This is one of many skirmishes that the Republic have conducted.
Every planet that was on the fence near the frontier of imperium space, joined the Imperium. Wars being conducted by the politicians that lost their homes.
Political power is meaningless if the system failed its duty to the people.
This unnamed space marine is one of many that engraved in the nascent imperium.
No longer they are the butchers... But saviors of a galaxy that wanted the most.
Their names may be forgotten, lost to time, but their deeds will endure.
In this galaxy is where their existence shine through fires of war.
This is a Galactic War in a galaxy far far away, where there is Heroes and martyrs etched across history. Peace that is given and not worked for it is a lie, but one that is paid by blood and bullets are the one that built the foundation of it.
(A/n): Survived, I never thought I managed to survive. I didn't even had to kill.
We returned to the border. But we lost half of what we entered. My team is just three out of seven. I miss the clown, he always makes a joke everytime we exited the borders, now it's just a empty seat across where I sit. But the remaining three was lured by money and joined the killing, they didn't arrive at the roll call.
The government that was the land we escape from, covered up the incident that there was a gang war and did not mention our interference.
But those of us knew the truth.
Because some inbred sons of the party came into that town and fucked everything up. Had they didn't arrive, we would have not made our existence known.
I felt disgusted that my handler gave me the promised money and said that we are heroes of the party. That we brought the sons back home. And got the money back.
500 yuan, of what is essentially blood money, because we escorted murderers home under the threat of death.
And I looked at my handlers got like what, 30k and a dinner invitation with that politicians that had those sons, the very same ones ordering us to die? I grew numb.
The town we left was in utter chaos, turned out that the Crime boss that the higher up ordered to kill.
He was the lifeblood of the said town. He was like the old Mafia boss that cared about the people. And give them jobs, and now that someone managed to kill him... The government is happy, but the people is not.
It left a vacuum of power and the neighboring gangs are scrambling for it.
And the people that knew hates us.
And last I heard, the new gang is more Anti-china than the previous guy, the old one was more tolerant... But he was just greedy and only wanted a slice of the pie because those inbreds show him the wealth.
Ironic that people in the west would call me evil, but when you work in hell, out of desperation, you see things that you cannot ignore, what I do is more grey, there is no black or white distinction. Those that did never seen conflict before your eyes. And claim other people is fascist. Is laughable
I watched the news of Los Angeles, and what I could tell, it's a outright invasion. What? Shouldn't I care about the illegals like the rest of the commies? Aren't we all commies as one? Are you a fake commie?
No, that is narcissistic mindset and they never worked a day in the darkness of society. I know it well.
Because I stepped in the darkness, and this western leftist are the ones that screech from their ivory towers and shamed men and patriots.
I am grateful that you voted orange man instead of Kamala, because she would definitely have the biggest word salad of the century. And the leftist in the west would gulp it down like it's a holy bible to them.
these liberal socialist don't care about the people. Not even the nation, only their vaguely notion of a utopia.
Tell me if there is a mass of people that flood your nation streets bearing a different flag, burning down your street and mexico threatening to sent troops if you stop it, is that not a outright invasion?
The only problem I don't like about the current administration is that they want to Increase spending despite removing the debt ceiling and give more money to Israel.
What the fuck happen to "America First?"
Because of that people become more hateful towards the Jews. They didn't even bother to assimilate and holed up in their community.
Funny that the new curriculum of our education, is that the Israel flag is our added enemy to be hated against.
Because we know who's pulling the strings of America.
Tell me then, why do your politicians in the west have a dual citizenship in Israel? Is that not tantamount ot treason as man cannot serve two masters?
Why is wef that proudly claimed that every politician in the west is under their rule, is a Jew that wants us dead, eat the bugs and leave only 5 million alive? Doesn't matter if he stepped down, he influence still remains.
We were informed that the suffering made by china tariffs, was not made by trump, but was made by Jews in his office.
Aipac wanted to pressure china.
There was a reason why china never allow a Jew in their lands, because they saw history of what happened to the ones that did.
The Greek free state during the expansion of Rome was subverted by the Jewish population by opening the gates within, discarding any notion of friendship and trust of their neighbors to save their own skins, allowing the Romans have a easy victory.
There was a reason why Jerusalem was more intact than the rest of those that opposed. Until their rebellious nature outweigh their usefulness, the romans destroyed it. Leaving the weeping wall.
The french under Napoleon was shackled by Jewish bankers. Inflating their francs to be just nothing.
Germany under the Kaiser by the same plague. Taking a opportune time to undermine the Kaiser and created the Weimar republic. That is known as the debaucherous democracy ever?
Or the fact that Soviet Russia have Jews in their council that ordered the death of millions?
I don't know what goes in the party.
But, hearing that, I am wary, because isn't po*nhub own by a rabbi? The supposed holy man of god bought a debaucherous site?
When I look at Zionism, I felt disgusted.
They are like murderers wanting to be forgiven.
Didn't the bible quote God sent Jesus to uplift the people, but he was cast aside as the people democratically chose for a Murderer? Barabas?
Crucified by the Romans in fear of the population of Jerusalem and their deranged Rabbis incitement of violence. You can claim roman killed him, but the governor wanted to spare him and sent him to Rome. But he was outnumbered by the sheep led by the rabbis
When I look at their rites of worship, them thinking that their god would return to them if they just follow their tradition...
Is akin of a murderer killing the son out of jealousy and hoping the father of the son to forgive him, by conducting the old ways.
And wanting to use the murder scene as a holy land is already disgusting.
That's why I totally despise the American boomers, sending money to a land that is bled by the son of god, because them thinking, the God would soon descend on that tainted ground to forgive them, because they are so devout by sending money to them?
I watched video of your lands, your people suffering more than I do.
Drug addicts, homelessness, the radicalization of your institution and the illegals in your nation.
Isn't Israel already well equipped enough to take over the middle east already? Paid by the blood of American taxpayers that is barely making ends meet? Working for 3-4 jobs just to pay rent? I am not a Palestine supporter, but the amount of support to Israel is absurd. When your nation industry is slowly collapsing? You can't even have a proper chip factory when both parties use it as a political assets and smash with red tapes than being beneficial to your nation?
Why is it that your politicians is now speaking that we should send money to Israel? Instead of fixing your country?
That's why I despise those evangelist that loved Israel, their thinking is dragging the people down with them, because they think of sending money to Israel to absolve their sins sickening me.
When I see veterans in the streets, cast aside by both parties and used as a excuse to make pork bills. Their duty, their training for what? To be cast outside like a used toy?
"We are witnessing the creation of artificial gods of the 21st century and these gods are created not by the divine, but by the minds of humanity.
Bureaucracy, Debauchery and Apathy is the new gods above all.
They are not demons, they are the will of the people. They are above ideology of man, but they are the imbedded into the souls of humanity.
A faceless entities grafted by society attempted to copy the divine.
Bureaucracy is the god of the west
Democracy, monarchy, communism, they all fed him growing in power. The weak worships him for their security and in the guise of democracy he gave false hope. The schemers and plotters admire him.
His followers are the soulless bureaucrats that undermine society, the perfect system incarnate. Whispered in the minds of kings and president, plans with plots for power, until it will stagnate to his whims.
His contract is absolute, his will is damming.
For society worship him for their convenience.
Debauchery is the new goddess made by the flesh of the narcissistic and hide behind a mask of a billion faces.
Her followers offer the tribute of their aborted children and divorce papers for their temporary fame and clout of young men to feast on their flesh for desire, to indulge a new high.
One man isn't enough, a thousand man it's not satisfied, until it will reached a million, as it leads her followers to damnation. Their purpose is to gather fame until their bodies wither in the passage of time.
And their narcissistic ways will blind them, until time and death claims them.
Apathy the final god that is about to be awaken, he never wanted to be born, he is the manifestation of society that abandoned men, the boys that wanted to find a place in society that rejected him.
From the darkness, he awoke with a purpose
He give his followers the truth that they never wanted to hear.
That society abandoned them for being a man.
That their religion offered them no solace, no purpose in life.
Their only purpose is to simply die for a society that never loved nor respected them.
For he is above all religion, above all ideal and morality of man, the darkness of man in isolation have created him. The reality of man molded his image.
His truth will rise among the forsaken.
And his banners will be among the armies of man that was outcasted by god of every religion. One word from his lips would be the end of civilizations. Leaving ruins in his wake.
He is not the Anti Christ or Satan, but the god that man who are lost needed the most.
We already essentially created Feminist Slaanesh, bureaucratic Tzeentch and apathetic Khorn.
And society doesn't care as they will birth these gods into existence, no amount of exorcism, no amount of prayers to the divine would help.
For we already rejected god. And we created this three to defy him."
