Two weeks have passed since I awakened my legion. I've been traveling back and forth between Terra and our Asteroid. And spoken with the High Lords of Terra of our situation and of Father's and I plans.

They accepted my request for upgrades to my Legion. As for our temporary base that is the Asteroid we linked together the other large asteroids surrounding it making a huge structure as well as the addition of engines on the back. Transports have been coming from Mars supplying us with arms, vehicles and armor.

My Legion was now equipped with the Mark VII Aquila pattern armor.  Our original Vehicles and ships having been scattered around the belt in secret were now converging on this position. We were turning this clump of Asteroids into a mobile fortress.

 My legion marching into the battle barges, we would be going to Terra to march along the Imperial Palace.
Then we would begin our campaign, starting with a planet that recently been found to harbor worshippers of  chaos. My second in command, Lord Commander Lysandros walked up to me and clashed his fist against his chest plate in solute, I returned  the gesture. "My Primarch, we are almost ready for the journey to holy Terra."

"Good Commander." I sighed and looked down upon my Legion again "It has been far too long since we've seen a sight like this." "Indeed it has Primarch." I turned back around to Lysandros "Come Lysandros, let us join the troops inside the barge." "Yes sir."

Walking our way down. We entered the barge and went to the bridge. A chair sat in the middle of the room, obviously larger than the others. I strode over to it and took my place at the helm. "My Lord we are ready to mobilize." "Good, set a course for Terra."

With that the two Barges undocked and turned towards Terra. When we reached our destination I made my way down to the main chambers where my sons where waiting, neatly organized into regiments. The rumble of the ship indicated that we were landing. I turned towards my men, "Brothers! My Sons! Today we reveal to the Imperium who we are once more! It has been over ten Millenia and the people have forgotten us! So...let's give them a sight they will never forget! FIRE AND FLAMES!" "WE ARE ONE!"

The doors to the outside opened revealing the long road ahead, the sides were full to the brim with spectators. And the march begun. I could see the surprise, the wonder, and the awe in the peoples faces. Here was a Legion of old, whose gold and white armor shined in the sun. But most of all...A living Primarch, something that has not been seen since the days of the Horus Heresy. Our standards held aloft, bearing our name to all. The Emperor's Swords...The forgotten second Legion.

I looked towards the tower, my plinth that once stood empty would be filled again. I was filled with pride. And undoubtedly my sons were as well. I was truly grateful to the Imperium, with it my heart belongs, I see the same potential in humanity as my Father did. Eventually we reached the other battle barge and climbed aboard once more. We took off, with cheering masses behind us. Already at the helm I turned to the pilot "Set a course for the planet of Galaxis. The Imperium knows we live, now its time to show the same to chaos."
