Raiding Earth
With his flagship The Invincible Reason operational and ready for war at any moment, the resources being flooded to its construction could stop. Instead, those materials were taken to construct other Voidships of much lesser scale. At the moment the ones in construction were Battle Barges and Battle Cruisers including some Escort ships.
When Justinian meets with the Saturnians in the Asteroid Belt, he wants to make them realize he is in charge. If they did not take the hint, he could always just release his forces which were expanding in a great expansion of power.
He was also always training, developing new magical techniques, new uses for his Psychic Abillities, new forms of combat, and better means of manipulating his reality-altering powers. Though at the moment, he was not preoccupied with the construction as closely as his Flagship.
With his Flagship complete, he could dedicate his attention to Earth. Once The Invincible Reason was considered complete, the entire crew that operated it left and returned to their regular duties.
The ship would see proper combat as soon as the three years inside the Time Dilation Field ended. When the time came, Justinian returned to his Pyramid in the center of Cadia City where he had warped through his magic to suit his status.
Rather than being formed of stone, he changed the stone to pure Auramite much like what formed his powerful set of Power Armor. He then enchanted the Pyramid and increased its scale making it a place worth containing his Crystal Throne and being his place of ruling.
Once he returned, to his Throne room he decided to call the former Chapter Masters of the growing Space Marine Legions. Now, the Space Marines numbered around 750,000 members across the 20 original Chapters. All of them shared the same color scheme of dark black with a double-headed dragon to represent The Imperium.
The numbers were going to be grown further, but the quality of recruits must not fall bellow a certain standard. To make sure that the Chapter Masters were worthy of the new status, Justinian, Ddraig, and Albion personally modified the 20 Chapter Masters into 'Primarch' worthy beings through secret magical, biological, psychic, and Biomantic means only offered to his Honor Guard.
Through these actions, these Martians became the most dangerous of their race. Not including the Burning Martians of course, but that was still an achievement to be proud of.
Once the 20 gathered in Justinian throne room, he nodded at each one.
"Greetings my War Masters, I hope you are all adapting to your modifications well?"
One of the kneeling giant Martians raised his head with his helmet held in his hand.
"We are, our esteemed Master. We are overflowing with power and we hunger to unleash it in your name."
"I am proud to hear that Talos, it pleases me to see you 20 take to your new powers so well. Remember to never stop training to gain strength, is a lifelong pursuit. Now, the reason I have gathered you is simple.
"I know your Chapters are in the process of transitioning from Chapter to Legion, but I need your warriors on Terra. Select a few teams of Astartes and prepare to return to Terra."
Hearing his words one after the other the War Masters began to grin thinking they would be sent on an invasion of Earth. However, Justinian chuckled and he corrected them.
"Of course, you are not invading Earth, just a few key locations. You are being sent to capture individuals I plan to use in my cloning experiments or I simply find useful. The forces will be joined between the 20 of your Legions, but of course not the full Legion.
Keep a hard limit of 150 per each of your Legions to send to Earth."
One of the Masters raised his head.
"My Lord, are we also going to be doing assassinations?"
"Yes, once you slay the people I want, I will replace them with infiltrators who I will 'contact' for diplomatic reasons. They will pass laws that will make it easier for me to start holding their countries.
Now then, the targets you are to be attacking will be two. One will be in Gotham, Arkham Asylum itself because I have a few people of interest. Bring me, the ones known as Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Victor Freeze, and Manbat.
If they are not in Arkham Asylum, use magic, psychic means, and rituals, doesn't matter. Track Down, Deathstroke for me. Slade Wilson, I need him. I also want you all to track down the League of Assasins, and bring me Ras Al Ghoul alive and the Lazarus Pit.
The rest you can ignore, the second location is in Washington DC, Cadmus. I want you to loot the place for everything, everyone, I mean it. Bring it all back if you have to. Of course, you will have Shaper Support.
Now, I want you to kill the world leaders of Russia, China, North Korea(Rhelasia), India, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Bialya, Markovia, and Santa Prisca. Kill all of their leaders, their families, and any other opposition to the infiltrators.
Then, I will so graciously begin diplomatic meetings that will slowly allow me to begin to prepare for the Invasion of Terra. You, my Warmasters will be the tip of the spear followed by the Scions, and mechanized war.
As for me, I will personally deal with the heavy hitters of the League myself. Any other questions?"
Justinian could see that each of his Warmasters from the look of it were not going to question him because his orders were clear.
"None, Your Majesty."
Justinian nodded.
"Good, go and prepare."
One by one, his Warmasters teleported out of his throne room to return to their Legions. When they were gone, Remnosh who as usual sat on his lap turned her head to regard him.
"I do have a question for you, you told me about the people you wanted, but what is Poison Ivy for, Professor Pamala right?"
Justinian hummed as if you had asked him that question three years ago he would have told you he wanted to sleep with her. If you asked him that now, he honestly didn't care enough to pursue her. Even though he technically did have the soul that combined traits of a Custodes, Dragon, and Perpetual he wasn't all that of a lustful guy.
Neither was Remnosh which made them very rarely have intercourse. When they did, it was extreme, but it was considered just a stress reliever.
"Honestly, I just want her to manage the plant life of Mars to enhance it and give it more vitality. She is an Avatar of the Green the Life Force of plant life and I find that useful."
Remnosh leaned in and looked into his golden purple eyes.
"Honestly, you have changed, my love. Your more, controlled? Disciplined I guess."
Justinian smiled as he leaned to rest his head against her.
"Well, let's just say that I grew up."
Suddenly at the sides of his throne, Ddraig and Albion manifested as they formed avatars. Ddraig leaned against the throne looking up at Justinian and Remnosh.
"True, you still had that human part of you. Now, you're all Dragon Custodes."
Albion snorted as he ran a hand through his white hair which contained a few golden strands.
"A brutish simplification of our friend Justinian, he simply is not thinking with the same brain as a dumb Red like you."
Ddraig snorted as he puffed out his chest.
"Oh please, at least I got plenty of ladies in my time. Speaking of ladies, I might as well sire a few Divine Dragon Born, what do you think Justinian?"
With a hum, Justinian was curious about that.
"Can you reproduce as an avatar?"
Ddraig shrugged.
"I don't see why not, what do you think lady Remnosh?"
Remnosh glanced at Ddraig before shrugging.
"Do whatever you want, go out and seduce some Elites somewhere. Lauralina, you up for it?"
Lauralina who had been smiling as she wrote in her bible snapped her pen. When she looked up, her eyes were hollow and full of pure loathing.
"I would rather immolate myself in holy fire and then send the ashes into the deepest black hole than lay with him."
Albion began to laugh as he looked at Ddraig.
"Ooof, so handsome, so attractive to women."
Justinian chuckled as he looked at her.
"Lauralina?"
"Yes, your grace?"
"Can you come here please?"
"Of course."
She closed her book before walking over to him. Out of nowhere, he reached out and his hand, grabbed her by her armored pauldron and lifted her as if she was weightless. He placed her on his other leg meaning he was now carrying several tons of power armor on his legs.
Remnosh chuckled as she could see Lauralina start to turn bright red like the Martian soil. With shaking hands, she opened her bible and began to write at lightning speed with a crazy look in her eyes.
Seeing this made Remnosh go quiet.
'Justinian, I think you made a mistake?'
With a grin, Justinian didn't think so.
'You think? Oh well, you only live once, in my case, forever.'
He wrapped his arms around their waists before leaning back and relaxing.
---
While Justinian took a few moments to relax, his Warmasters were not relaxing at all when they returned to their Legions. Once they relayed the orders they had been given by Justinian, they chose 150 of their Battle Brothers to be sent to Earth for the missions they had been given.
Once the ones who would go to Earth were selected, the War Masters gathered together the 3,000 Marines who had been chosen. 3,000 giant Terminator armor-wearing Marines stayed silent as their War Masters gathered.
"We have received a decree from The Emperor himself, we are to return to Terra to prepare for when we invade it to bring it into The Imperium. The Emperor is the rightful ruler of the galaxy and no planet will be left out of his rule.
Not even Terra with the League, you will separate into groups of 150 as you spread out worldwide. The infiltration plan is going to begin and for that to happen we must purge the ruling class of several nations silently and efficiently.
The nations in question are Russia, China, North Korea(Rhelasia), India, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Bialya, Markovia, and Santa Prisca. 11 different nations for 11 attack groups of 150 Marines.
Of course, they are not all as two more are going to be singing Arkham Asylum and Cadmus in the capital of America. We also must ensure we track down the man known as Deathstroke and Ras Al Ghoul, of the League of Assassins.
That will leave us with four attack groups that will be spread out among the groups in case they require backup. Our War Shapers will back us up by placing Bounded Fields around our targets in a way they cannot be tracked.
If you face resistance, from the League, I am giving you express permission to fight to kill. Especially Batman and Superman, if you do manage to kill them, The Emperor himself will reward you."
That seemed to light a fire in the eyes of these Terminator Elites.
"THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!"
All as one, 3,000 Terminators roared back.
"THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!"
The War Shaper, who was smaller than this soldier cast, but still in his own set of lighter power armor. He smashed his staff to the ground as he tore open 20 portals. Each of the attack groups separated into one as the War Masters all gave them their blessing.
"Begin."
Unlike regular Terminators, these could run in full sprint as if they were unencumbered. Much like in a drop pod assault or Teleport Assault, these Terminators moved hard and fast at their targets.
In Gotham when the 150 Terminators arrived, and the Bounded Field went up they rushed in. Arkahm was more like a prison than a hospital and the security there when they noticed what happened tried to hold their grounds by activating the Wayne Tech security measures, but the Terminators blasted it with their Heavy Bolters, Heavy Flamers, or The Shapers just bombed it with magic.
The same was happening at the Capital at Cadmus and at the other countries that Justinian had designated. However, the Shapers were smart and the Bounded Fields were designed to be invisible and display an illusion to those outside.
They did not want to get League attention and even at Cadmus, The League had yet to figure it out. The same was happening at the League of Assasins and Death Stroke's secret compound.
The assaults were not going to be very long, but they were going to be brutal.
