They had boarded a small transport that had been damaged in the ongoing war, it's damaged body pitifully struggled to get off the world, yet it remained strong and i managed to break orbit.
How had it managed to do this, she was the one piloting it.
''The Emperor didn't have anything against the Alien, except that when the Crusade was ongoing Humanities allies were gone, no trace of them left. The few that remained had betrayed us and new ones had enslaved us'' the man said as she headed to one of the Imperial ships capable of Wrp travel
''Head to one of the broken ships, I got an Idea, either way, you broke orbit in such a critical time. We're dead if we reach any Imperial ship''he said as he held another picture book
''Tell me what are those tomes you use''she asked, her voice stern and unmoving, as if hinting out that she would head straight into the Imperium if he didn't answer
''Entertainment, the only thing from my home. A home I have lost'' he answer
No words were spoken after that, allowing them to arrive in a destroyed Chaos ship, why had she chosen it, she wanted to test the ma and his creature. On the way to the planet he had placed a sheet of loose cloth and copied the same design he had made on the planet
'''Use it to heal the Ship'' his word were a whisper as if trying to drive a point, as the blue ethereal glow burned thru the cloth a small rock was place where the summoning circle was.
Within moments she felt the pulse of magic fighting and denying each other, the rocks cleansing power, tore thru the warps taint, somehow breaking the ship yet at the same time remaking its long lost metal and ceramic.
It seemed like hours when in reality it had been moments, her heart beat like a virgin maiden knowing that her chastity was about to be taken, willingly or by force.
All of the chaotic power was cleansed and they stood in a titan that shined as if it had just left the docs.
Servitors rose instantly knowing their task, the once dead hulls were all of a sudden filled with mechanical, organic life, the cathedral like design, seemed to shine as if thanking them for its freedom.
''Get us out of here'' he said and in seconds the ships accelerated into the warp leaving the battle for Cadia behind, yet in the silence the sounds of whimpers could be heard and the creature in yellow attire walked in pursuit of it
The man before her simply turned and walked away, why did she let him simple she knew she could not kill him. No that wasn't right she could kill him easily, but even she knew that the information in that mans brain was too precious to let go and should he die, was there any proof he would stay dead.
The question would be asked to anyone and if you said kill him, then she could easily tell you you are not and Inquisitor.
She made her way to the bridge and found only servitors in it, they seemed more human yet were at the same time perfect machines.
She took of her helmet letting her long red hair down and a warm cup of coffee was placed next to her.
''It's clean'' he said, as she took the warm drink ''You know you're beautiful'' he said without hesitation '' a man would have gladly made a family with you, your strong, lay firm your position and have a body any man would desire'' he said before pausing
''I know I would have, but now look at me and where I am. He paused ''Caught in a dimension that is dying, hope strengthens Nurgle, looking to the future in hopes for a brighter one strengthens the rooting Lord of Change, fighting strengthened Korn, and any act of love strengthens the lord of excess. Now dying will strengthen the God of the dead'' he let the words sink in
''What are you?'' she asked
''Human'' he immediately answered
''Where are we going?' she asked
Again he immediately answered ''I don't know''
''Why are you doing this?'' she asked
''Because I want to live and hiding isn't an option anymore'' he answered again
''Your loyalty'' she began only for him to stop her ''Isn't to you, nor is it for the hypocritical Eldar. The traitors Tau, the Hungry Tyranids, the barbaric Orks, or the eternally dea living Nekrons. No my loyalty is't to you it's to Humanity'' he said , his eyes holding such intense sadness that it seemed as if he were about to cry
She analysed him and understood, he had no loyalty to the Imperium, but there were no other options left nothing else was good enough, so he retreated to the one being or series of beings he knew would maintain an ounce of goodness within them.
Humanity.
Being an Inquisitor she knew what manipulation could achieve far more than simply killing at times, she could be a dirty hore one moment and another she would be an untouched maiden. So she took her arms and wrapped them around his waist and held him gently, her power armor preventing any exchange of body heat, but this would suffice for now.
At least it would have had the creature not returned.
''Oi look at what I found'' it said, as slaves walked in bowing to their new masters
''Shit'' he said, as he looked at their plump bellies each expecting children. Woman all of them , their ages ranging from the age of child bearing to the nearly crippled.
He forced her away and said ''One by one come here '' they hesitated but did so none the less and he placed the rock on their bellies, the light made the womb turn and fight, yet as the woman screamed she wept in joy, and screamed ''My baby it's happy, it's not a monster!''
One by one the walked up to him, elderly became younger and they all screamed in agony and joy. Fifteen hours, he passed and the creature guided the woman to the kitchen and the rooms the Space Marines once resided in.
As the last woman left, the last look of exhaustion passed thru him and he made way to a room on the side of the bridge.
''Saitama keep watch, we'll talk later, right now I need to sleep'' he ordered his creature
The creature itself simply smiled and sat down picking up one of the picture books and began to read it, she took one and found she could not read a single world, yet the image before her was the creature destroying monsters with a single blow.
She knew now what had been summoned and why it had a look of little care, there was little to nothing that could harm it, how long had she stood there reading, she didn't know yet she did not care, the creature sat next to her docile as a pup.
She needed to keep the creature under control and the man under her manipulation and vigilance. One day she would understand the enchantments on these pages and she would summon an army capable of taking the fight straight into the heart of chaos but for now she needed to keep watch.
