Rise of The Second (Warhammer 40k Fanfic)

Chapter 3- Meeting Many

3rd Person POV

The day the Emperor came for his sons on Yerushalaim went down in history. But before the two left Jahaziel appointed Hannah as planetary governor of Yerushalaim. As the two left with their father, the people celebrated the coming of the one they would call their god. The golden battle barge known as Bucephelus soon left the system after the Emperor had boarded it with his sons.

The battle barge made way back for Terra, with the brothers on board marveling at the ship itself. As the ship traversed the warp, Jahaziel and Y'honathan began to talk with their father. Exchanging tales of triumph, speaking of key battles, and talking philosophically. All while the ship and fleet began making its way to Terra, only one other brother of Jahaziel and Y'honathan was on the throne world.

Emperor: Striking a whole army blind with but one hand movement is great sign of your psychic ability

Jahaziel: Thank you father, but I've held back from using my abilities too much

Emperor: You were concerned about what would happen if you lost control?

Jahaziel: Yes, I couldn't imagine the devastation I could cause for those I cared about

Emperor: I understand my son, but worry no longer. For I shall teach you how to use your psychic abilities myself

Jahaziel: Thank you father

Emperor: And you Y'honathan, you managed to isolate an entire enemy army and ambush them with no casualties

Y'honathan: Indeed father, I did my best to learn tactics in order to defeat my enemies. I favored shock and awe, it suited my brother and I

Emperor: I see, both of you make me proud of what you've accomplished. And I'm glad to know you already favor the same tactics of your legion

Y'honathan: A legion of space marines who specialize in shock and awe? It sounds absolutely perfect

Jahaziel: Indeed, but who holds the dominant gene amongst the legion father?

Emperor: That in itself is interesting my sons, for your genes were combined to do so

Jahaziel: Really?

Emperor: Yes, this allowed for a far more forgiving gene seed compared to the other legions. It will allow for more recruitment of astartes candidates

Y'honathan: Fascinating, that will help exponentially

Emperor: On the topic of recruitment, will Yerushalaim be the homeworld of the legion?

Jahaziel: I believe it should, however I think my brother has something in mind

Y'honathan: You know me quite well, I believe we could increase the bulk of the legion by having recruiting posts at some of the planets we conquer

Emperor: Such an effort would be useful, but it would cost resources. Forge worlds would have to supply more armaments in such a case

Jahaziel: We will conquer such worlds to welcome into your Imperium father. They will supply our legion and other military forces that serve you

Emperor: Is that a promise my son?

Jahaziel: It is, I will bring seven hundred worlds into the Imperium, including Yerushalaim. I will administrate the worlds if I must

Y'honathan: These worlds shall serve you father, and supply the Imperium of Mankind's Great Crusade

Emperor: "I look forward to this campaign you will spearhead my sons. It shall be so once you receive your legion" he said smirking
