PonyHammer 40,000: Magic of War II | Redemption

A New Beginning

Helios watched the explosion from a distance. The daemon had finally tasted the bitter sweetness of retribution. But now he had to contact Inquisitor Rarity and have her stop the Exterminatus from continuing.

"Rarity! This is Philosophies, I am on Cyrene! Traytus is dead, you must halt the Exterminatus!"

"... and what of Pegalos?" Rarity asked.

Pegalos was beaten and broken from his battle against Traytus. His face was covered in cuts and gashes. His armor was broken and cracked. His front-right leg and his back-left leg were broken off. But he still drew breath. There was a chance they could save him.

"We have rebuilt, and once more are great." said Helios. "We have forged a Chapter not warped in enigma, but one the Empress can look upon with pride."

"... this has been dark work, Philosophies." said Pegalos. "Traytus left much corrupted and cleansing had to be both thorough and merciless. Yet now we are pure and noble."

Helios bowed before Pegalos, and held his sword against his shoulder. "It has been a necessary act, though." He said. "Our Chapter lives, free of darkness and corruption at last. I know I cannot serve the Chapter in the same manner as before. But, you Michael... Chapter Master is fitting. None shall find you wanting."

Michael Pegalos stood before his Battle Siblings, equipped with new cyborg limbs and cybernetics. Despite these permanent changes, they were nothing compared to his rank as the new Chapter Master of the Blood Phoenixes. He would be the true pure heart of the Chapter. And he would never allow corruption to overwhelm him, or his siblings.

The Blood Phoenixes were redeemed at last.

Author's Note:

It's so beautiful...

Well, that wraps up the Magic of War series. It forever changed me, and I like it. If anyone asks where everyone else is, I'm pretty sure they are still alive and well, serving the Chapter loyally. Like if you like it. Fave if you love it. Watch me if you like and/or love me. And don't forget to comment, please and thanks.

And remember: A warrior's faith in his commander is his best armour and his strongest weapon.

4969029 name is typo on my part but yes an inquisitor can call off an exterminatus because they have the highest authority in the Imperium under the Emperor
