Disclaimer, I don't own RWBY or Warhammer 40k but I love both. Miss you Monty. Matt Ward stay away from 40k!

First off… all of my fans (I sorry for assuming I have fans… I suck) I'm sorry that I did this, I have nothing to say in my defense other than… I'm sorry please don't hate me!

Legends… stories scattered through time. The people of the world have grown quite fond of heroes and villains. They particularly enjoy the story of the birth of the Imperium.

The world of Remnant, first came the Eldar. Gifted with magic and long lives, they were the first to conquer this world and bend it to their gods. It was their world and they lived in peace with it never needing to understand the ways of violence or anger. Until those very ideals' were personified.

The Orks, hulking beasts that crave nothing but war. They came from nowhere, but they came in numbers. They crashed the great Eldar empire until all that was left were those that escaped onto the seas where they still roam to this day on their great Craftworlds. The Orks descended in anarchy, with their only outlet for their brutish anger gone they quickly turned on themselves, allowing for the rise of a new race of beings.

The Humans, strong and resolute. They came from their small tribes, long ignored by the Eldar as lower beings and the Orks as to weak to fight. The humans quickly took their chance and rapidly grew to dominate the world of Remnant. Twenty-four kingdoms stood tall, Humanity knew war and protected itself from the divided Ork tribes and the Eldar pirates that had grown jealous of the humans' success. To many it appeared that humans were about to reach the greatness that only the Eldar once knew but like the Eldar… Remnant was not easily conquered.

From the chaos and anarchy of the war between the Orks and Eldar something had grown, or festered as many prefer to say. Deep within the core of Remnant it grew, feeding off the misery and sorrow of the Eldar, it thirsted for the rage and hate of the Orks, and when humanity came it grew fat on their greed and arrogance. And then it came itself to cause these feeling it so loved, The Great Grimm God, Malal. In a single night, it destroyed seventeen out of the twenty-four kingdoms of man, feeding on their suffering as it went.

And then… at the ruins of the first human kingdom, Terra. He came. Bathed in golden light a single man slew the Great Grimm God, shattering him into billions of fragments, the creatures now called Grimm. Spectators of the glorious battled could not recount their story to other but for a few words and always with tears of joy in their eyes, He came… and he saved us all. The leaders of the remaining Kingdoms, the Farseers of the Eldar, and one Ork Warboss soon came to the ruined city of Terra. Cadia, Vacuo, Mars, Vale, Altus, Macragge, Mistral, the leaders of these remaining kingdoms all swore their loyalty to this man. The Eldar Farseers agreed to forever be allies of humanity for his saving of what they considered their world. And the Ork Warboss… after a rather loud and lengthy brawl pledged his tribe in the service of the man. The Man was crowned the Emperor of Mankind and after he set up what became the Imperium of Man he vanished. Never to be seen again.

In a small Dust shop in Vale. Sevreal suited men enter led by a whited suited man in a bowler hat. He knocks of a bit of ash from his cigar before speaking.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop this late at night." He saidas one of his goons pulled a pistol out on the shopkeeper.

"Please…just take my Thrones and leave." The old man said rising his hands up in submission.

"Shh, shh, shh… we're not here for your money, Grab the Dust." The man ordered and the men quickly nodded before doing what they were told. "Crystals, all of them and uncut." The man said before holding out a case for the stolen goods to be placed in.

Outside the Dust shop was a young teen, he had watched the group enter but they never noticed him. He long black hair and pearl white skin. He was dressed in a white t-shirt with a flock of Nevermore flying on it, black bomber jacket with a raven logo on its back covered the t-shirt, and black jeans covered his legs while metal grieved boots covered his feet.

"Should I call the cops… pretty sure that they're goin' rob the place." Corvus mused out loud. "Should I try to…" Before he finished speaking something smashed the window just above his head, in the process scaring away his pet Nevermore Deliverance. "Birdy no…" Corvus mumbled as looked up not even phased by the last ten seconds. He then saw a girl standing outside the shop with the largest scythe he had ever seen. "Umm… Cool weapon?" Was all that came out as he stared, mostly out of surprise.

"Oh Really thanks! Made it myself!" The black haired girl responded with a cheery tone at the complement to her pride and joy.

"Where'd that kid come from?" One of the goons said as he pointed to Corvus.

"Who cares where the new one came from just get them both." The lead man said not happy with how things were turning out. Corvus just threw his head back and groaned. He had to do stuff… he hated that. The robbers ran out of the store only to find Corvus had disappeared, even the girl looked confused as to the location of the other teen.

"Stand back hoodie, I got this." Corvus said pulling out two knives from inside his jacket.

"Hey! I can fight, this scythe isn't just for show." Ruby protested before slamming it into the ground and using it to quickly kick out a charging goon. She looked back at the boy with a smug look of I told you so but he just shrugged.

"Okay… I was wrong, tag team it is." That kinda took Ruby by surprise, most boys she knew would never admit they were wrong. Certainly, when it came to admitting she had skill.

"Thanks…" Her train of thought was interrupted by the sound of boots walking on glass. She turned around and bursted forward to the next robber that came at them. She used the goon as a quick springboard in to the air and launching herself to the next one's head with the force from the rifle in her scythe. One of the goons tried to fire his weapon on the moving girl but before he pulled the trigger the gun was sliced in half. The goon looked over to the boy and saw him spinning a long whip with several cross blades on the rope ending in a sharpened point. In the boy's other hand was his other knife that folded back into a small pistol. The boy lazily fired repeated shots at the ground three of the goons had been standing on.

Roman just watched, as the girl sped on… knocking out the goons he paid for one by one in various spectacular displays of skill while three others were just tied up by the other's whip and… yup… the whip just sent a river of lightning and knocked them out too.

"I get what I pay for… should have gone with a few Orks… but nope, had to be cheap." Roman grumbled to himself. "Well Red, Gloomy…" Roman started off as he walked forward. "… I think we can all say its been an eventful evening." He said as he stomped out his cigar with his cane. "And as much as I would love to stick around… I afired this is where we part ways." Roman said before firing a flare off at the two teens. Before making a quick escape. The two teens dodged the flare easily, Ruby shot herself up in to the air and Corvus latched onto a lamppost with his whip to pull himself away.

"Well… it wouldn't be right to just let him get away like that…" Corvus said before giving a small wink to Ruby causing her to slight turn a bit red. She turned back to the shopkeeper but was a bit to flustered to say anything really cool like he did.

"Mind if we take him out?" The shopkeeper nodded politely but she knew that he felt the same way. She followed the boy after the criminal up to the rooftops, He had climbed up using his whip to quickly scale the wall by retracing the rope back while she used the force of her gun to launch herself up. "Hey!"

"Persistent little kids…" Roman mumbled as his ride hovered into view. The two teens stared at the hovering Valkyrie gunship as Roman hopped into the back hatch. "End of the line Kids!" Roman yelled as he tossed a Burn Dust crystal in front of them Followed by a shot from his cane. Corvus dove in front of Ruby to try to shield but it was unnecessary, very much appreciated though if Ruby's slight blush said anything. But Corvus didn't notice as turned back to see a huge bald man standing in between them and the blast looking completely unscathed. He had black and red armor and in one and a taloned gauntlet with two gun barrels in it and in the other was a large mace.

"Well what have we here?" The man said, his voice deep and warm. "Roman… haven't seen you for a while, how's the wife and kids?"

"Horus…" Roman teeth grinded out. Before Roman could retort back Horus opened fire on the gunship. The ship swerved and tried to move out of the way of the incoming fire. "We got a Primarch!" Roman yelled as he ran further inside as the hatch closed. Horus continued to fire at the fleeing Valkyrie.

"You're a Primarch…" Ruby said as Horus turned back to the two teens. "…can I have your autograph?" She asked with amazement in her eyes. Horus smiled warmly at the girl as the sound of guns cocking was heard and she and Corvus looked back to see several Guardsmen aiming their guns at their heads.

"Why of course child… would you like me to make it out anyone in particular."

The next thing Ruby knew was the she and the boy she fought with were taken to the local Arbites Station. The two sat next to each other for some reason, and the room they were in had no windows or door and a servo-skull hovering across from them recording them. Ruby had lived in Vale all her life and so seeing a Servo-Skull for the first time was a little creepy. They came from the kingdom of Mars and were not seen out in the open that much.

It just hovered there, it's cybernetic eye trained on them. She moved her head to the right, it followed, she moved her hand up, it followed, she try to hide under the table it started making a blaring alarm sound causing a Arbiter to come in to see what was happening.

"I'm sorry, they put that thing in here because of me." Corvus said as the Arbiter closed the door behind him. "My Semblance allows me to only be seen by people when I want them to but I can still be recorded by machines." He said as he stared intently at the Servo-Skull. "Do you think they use real skulls or just make plastic ones?" Corvus said his head leaning to side a bit

"I don't know… I hope they don't use real ones." Ruby also leaned her head as she thought about it.

"But isn't that somehow just as creepy… I mean… if they're not real then why make them look that way?"

"I don't know… Martians are creepy like that." Just then the door opened, a blond woman holding a data slate and a riding crop. She also stared at the Servo-Skull, it was a little comical how it appeared to continue to ignore them all even though it wasn't alive.

"As for you two, I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly young lady." The woman said focusing on Ruby. "And for you Mr. Corax, well I'm sure you knew exactly what you were doing." She said with an accusing glare. "If it were up to me, you young lady would be sent home, with a pat on the back…" Ruby shined at this. "And a slap on the wrist." Not so much now. "And you… I'm also sure you know where your heading." Corvus groan.

"Back to juvey." He groaned even louder. "And I was so careful this time… I am not looking forward to the welcome back party Piggy has got planed for me."

"Wait… you're a criminal too?" Ruby said shocked.

"What I am is a political activist, taking the fight to the man." Corvus said in air quotes, although Ruby had bought the lie and was now imaging Corvus as a rough and tough freedom fighter taking on corruption in the Imperium in his own way that might seem extreme to some but that's just what he has to do to make a change in this grim and unforgiving world, the blond woman stand across from them did not. But before she could burst the young girl's bubble a hand put down her data slate. A man with grey hair and a green suit, and small glasses stood next to her with a plate of cookies and a small caged Nevermore.

"Is that so… well good luck to you young man in that most noble of pursuits." The new man said as he placed the cookies in front of Ruby and the Nevermore in front of Corvus.

"Deliverance." Corvus excitedly said as he went to open the cage only to be swatted by the woman's riding crop. "Hey!"

"We are allowing you to have your pet but it is to remain caged." She said with a stern tone. Corvus leaned back, pulling the cage back with him. The grey-haired man sat down and leaned forward.

"Ruby Rose… you have silver eyes…" Ruby didn't really know how to respond to that. "Corvus Corax…" The man didn't even say anything after that. "So, where did the two of you learn to fight like that?" The man nodded over to a projection of the fight coming from the Servo-Skull's eye.

"Signal academy." Ruby answered quietly and unsure.

"That's classified." Corus said in a jokingly Men in Black way but just got back glares. "In juvey." He sighed, you pick on how to fight dirty and quickly when Juvey is filled with preteen Eldar that really want to prove that they are So much better than the Mon-keigh.

"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" The man asked Ruby.

"The guards just stood by and let you train in combat?" The woman asked Corvus.

"Kinda… more like I used my time productively and learned a thing or two from the prison library and then had many eager test subjects to try it out on, people tend to want a piece of you when you refuse to join any gang, and yard time is always good to buff up."

"Umm…" Ruby bounced back that image. "… I leaned it from one teacher in particular."

"I see…" The man said as he pushed the plate of cookies into Ruby's reach, something that had been irritating the girl since she even smelled them. She quickly began eating through the pace that Corvus had never seen before. "Its just that I've only ever seen a scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow."

"Mmm! Thash muh Unkul!" Ruby said with a mouth full of cookies, she quickly swallowed her mouth full leaving only one cookie left on the plate. "Sorry, that's my uncle Qrow, he's a teacher at Signal." Ruby said as she took the cookie and motioned to give it to Corvus' Nevermore. Its beak snapping at the treat as it slid into the cage. "I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing and now I'm all like Wohooo Cha!" Ruby said making a few chops in the air.

"So I've noticed, and what is a adorable girl doing at a school to train warriors?" The man said fully appearing to ignore Corvus at this point, not that he didn't mind, he was used to people ignoring him… whether he wanted them to or not.

"Well… I want to join the Astartes." Ruby said with complete and utter seriousness and focus. "And one day… become a true Primarch."

"You want to be one of the Emperor's Chosen? To slay the enemies of the Imperium?"

"Yeah… I only have two more years of training left at Signal, and then I'm going to apply to Beacon. See, my sister's starting there this year and she's trying to become an Astartes. And I'm trying to become an Astartes because I want to help people, And my parents always taught us to help others and so I thought might as well make a career out of it. I mean the Guard is alright but Astartes are just much more cooler and awesome and you know?!" They all stared at the excited girl.

"Do you know who I am?" The man asked. Ruby turned to the chair next her wondering if Corvus also knew but saw that it empty. The woman threw a pen at the chair only for it to hit and awake a napping Corvus who appeared in a slight dusting of raven feathers.

"What?! What's going on?" He said startled by his awaking.

"I just asked if you knew who I am?" The man stated before taking a sip from his mug.

"I have no clue… so can I go back to sleep now?"

"Umm… I know… your professor Ozpin, you're the headmaster at Beacon." This made Corvus sit extra straight. He wasn't going to piss off someone that high up in the Administratum with poor manners even though he knew he was already doomed. But all Ozpin did was click his tongue.

"Hello."

"Nice to meet you." Corvus was awe-struck, she just said hello in a calm and casual manner to one of the most powerful men in the kingdom of Vale and by association the Imperium.

"You want to come to my school?"

"More than anything."

"Well okay…and what about you Corvus… what do you want?" Corvus was still trying to piece together what had just happened while Ruby was also trying to do the same.

"Umm… I don't want to go back to juvey?"

"Then you can come to my school as well." He said leaning back in his seat feeling the irritation coming off Glynda. But she knew that this was planned out long before now so she didn't say anything.

"Wait… come to the bastion of the Administratum and Astartes in Vale as a student? I have no choice do I?"

"Not really… its either this or Piggy gets to start baking your welcome back cake."

"Fine… you got me in checkmate." Corvus said as he stood up with Deliverance's cage in hand. "If you would be so kind as to give back my stuff so I can go pack…" Corvus started to walk past the two adults but was stopped by Ozpin's cane to his chest.

"Not so fast… we're not going to have you running out on us. So you will be taking this Servo-Skull with you and if you use your power for a second this deal is off and straight to juvey you go." Corvus stared at the hovering Servo-Skull as it stared back, his mind going back to the debate of whether or not it was a real skull. "And if you would be so kind as to escort Miss. Rose back to her home." Corvus glared at Ozpin as Ruby hid under her hood trying to hide her blush.

The two teens left the Arbites Station quickly after that then proceeded to walk the night streets back to Ruby's home. The following Servo-Skull did a good job at keeping any muggers away as no one wanted to get near the thing.

"Soooo… your bird is cute..." Ruby asked trying to say anything to break the awkward silence. "But is it a real Grimm?"

"Oh Deliverance?" Corvus looked at the resting Nevermore on his shoulder. "Yeah he is, but you know how Grimm are attracted to negative feelings, I think he's attracted to my laziness and picked up on it and now he's too lazy to hurt people." Corvus said as he feed Deliverance a bread crumb.

"Well he seems nice… anyone that like cookies can't be bad."

"Everyone likes cookies."

"I know so everyone can't be bad." Ruby joked. But they quickly fell back to awkward silence until they reached Ruby's house and after figuring out that Ruby had forgotten her keys, something that happened often, the two waited for her sister to open the door for her. "So… umm… thanks by the way for umm… walking me home." Ruby said before disappearing under her hood again to once again hide the blush. Before Corvus could respond however the door opened to reveal Ruby's sister Yang.

"Hey Ruby did you forget… your keys… again." Yang looked at the two and it took exactly three point eight seconds before she came to the wrong conclusion about what was happening. "Get away from my sister you creep!" That was all Corvus heard before being knocked out by Yang's punch. Corvus fell to the ground and Deliverance fluttered down on his back. After a few peaks to Corvus' head a small shine of vengeance came its eye. It shot up and began peaking at Yang's head, although it instinctively knew not to actually damage her hair. Yang fumbled as the Nevermore assaulted her and fell back into the house. The bird Grimm flew back to Corvus now that it had settled the score.

"I'm so sorry Mr. Deliverance but my sister is just being overprotective." Ruby said as she crouched down. The Grimm seemed to acknowledge this and hopped over to Ruby's shoulder.

"What the warp just happened?" Yang asked as she pulled herself up.

"You over reacted and were punished." Ruby said as she tried dragging Corvus inside. "Yang a little help, you are the one who knocked him out." Yang still didn't understand what was going on but helped her sister bring in the other teen and helped her place him on the couch. Ruby did her best to explain just who Corvus was and how they met.

"Ohh… okay… that makes sense." Yang said as sarcastically as she could.

"Look at it brother…" Leman said as he held his brother Fulgrim in a headlock. Leman's dog like teeth bared in excitement. They were going to be attending Beacon, it was the day he had been looking forward to for many years' now. "You can see all of Vale from here." Leman said letting go of his struggling brother to press his face up at the glass of the carrier ship that was taking the prospective Astartes to Beacon. Leman could only smile on this day, and to show for it he had worn his best outfit… that is the same one he always wore just cleaned. Jeans and hiking boots, grey and blue t-shirt and a wolf pelt over that acting as a pseudo jacket.

"Damnation brother, you could have messed up my hair." Fulgrim worried as he checked his flowing silver hair. The teen boy was the model of perfection to the point that many of the girls on the ship were already fighting over who could ask he out first. He was wearing a conservative purple and gold tunic, fashionable and was neatly cut along the joints to allow for mobility. "What do you think sister? Did Leman ruin it?"

"No Fulgrim its fine." The teen's sister said not looking up from her book. Her crimson hair getting slightly in the way of her face but she ignored it as it was on the side that held no real impotence to her. As over her right eye was a gold and ivory inlaid eyepatch, even though she tried her hardest to make it still look good, having it covered by hair still helped.

"Megan dear you haven't even looked up from your book." Fulgrim bluntly asked.

"Of course she didn't… nerds can't look away from books. It might kill them." Leman joked still not looking away from the window.

"Just as it might kill you to try and read one." Megan said as she turned the page.

"Shut up Magnus!"

"I have told you a million times to never call me that you furry idiot." Megan said with the sound of her closing her book in frustration. "I desist that horrid name; it reeks of boy."

"But that's your name Magnus." Leman said as leaned back to his sister. "Magnus." He sung out as before she knocked him on the head with her large book before going back to reading it.

"Much better." She said smiling as she returned to her story.

"That all you got..." Leman mumbled as he tried to got back but stopped when something caught his nose. "I know that smell… oh… things just got a whole lot more fun."

"Again I'm really sorry." Yang said to Corvus as Ruby gawked over the view. The sound of her pointing out places in Vale in the background.

"I don't know… I mean my face could sacred forever." Corvus milked the moment by rubbing his face. "I should get something in compensation, I mean all I was doing was escorting your sister home, and for thanks I get clocked in the jaw… for shame."

"Enough… you will get one free punch in return. That's it! Nothing more."

"No… I want something else… I will forgive you once you pet Deliverance." Corvus held out his Nevermore on his arm. The bird stared back at the brawler, it had yet to forgive completely and Yang could see the evil look in its eye… well… it always had an evil look but this one was different. She reached out carefully but the Grimm quickly bit her finger.

"Ow!"

"Until you have petted Deliverance… I will continue to hold this over you." Corvus said he himself petted his bird.

"Why you…"

"Hey come on guys." Ruby said trying to get in between the two. "You are supposed to be happy." Ruby pointed to her sister. "And you are supposed to be happy but calmly not showing it." Ruby pointed to Corvus.

"Of course I'm happy Ruby…" Yang said as she started squeezing her sister in a bone crashing hug. "… my baby sister is coming to Beacon with me. this is the best day ever!"

"Please stop." Ruby tried to say in the full effect of Yang's bear hug.

"But I'm so proud of you!" Yang said as hopped back unable to contain her joy for her little sister.

"Really sis it was nothing."

"Um… I was there… it wasn't really nothing." Corvus interjected. "We stopped a robbery, all by ourselves, with no help from the cops. We're pretty awesome."

"But I don't to be awesome… I don't want people to think I'm special just because I got pushed ahead two years." Ruby said staring down at the floor making a few circles with her foot.

"But you are special." Yang said pulling Ruby into a gentler hug from the side. But before Ruby could respond a falsh of grey and blue tackled Yang, leaving a musty odor behind in her place. Ruby looked back to see a small dust cloud with sevreal arms and feet kicking out from it. It might have been funny if she knew what was going on. "Say it! Say it!" Ruby could hear her sister yell as the dust began to settle. Her sister was currently holding a boy Ruby had never seen before in a choke hold with her legs while holding back his right leg.

"Never!" The boy growled out before somehow flipping the situation into him holding Yang in an equally troublesome position. "Ah ha lass! Now who's top dog?" Ruby heard a groan from behind her and Corvus.

"Does he have to make such awful puns?" Ruby turned around to see who was speaking and was honestly surprised at how was it. He was certainly the… prettiest boy, she had ever seen. Flowing silver hair, deep golden eyes, flawless pale skin, he was like a prince out of a fairy tale… if you like that sort of thing.

"You know he does… it's how he remembers what funny is… by not being it." A girl Yang's age said as she walked behind the pretty boy. Her long red hair was tied back in to a pony tail but a bit was loose to cover her right eye, she was wearing Baggy black jeans that seemed to cover her feet so Ruby couldn't even see if she was wearing shoes, her top was a simple red shirt with a yellow vest zipped up but her arms and hands were wrapped in bandages. She was also not looking where she was going as her eyes were focused on reading.

"Umm… what's going on… who's that and why are you handing me a rose?" Ruby asked as the pretty boy did in fact hand her a rose.

"Because my dear you deserve nothing less, oh how we shall remember this day fondly as we grow old and… ohpf!" Ruby watched as the girl hit him with her book.

"Now you're getting on my nerves too." She said before pulling back her book letting the boy fall to the ground. "I'm sorry for my brother, he means well but he simply can't stop himself." The girl said with a smile trying to mend any problems that may have been caused. "I'm Megan Prospero, this is Fulgrim Rasputin and over there is my other brother Leman Russ." She said pointing to the still ongoing fight between Leman and Yang. "As for why this is happening, I have no idea."

"Yang! What's going on?" Ruby yelled to her sister cause the brawl to momentarily stop as the two combatants looked up the girl.

"Oh Ruby, sorry I forgot." Yang said as she pushed Leman off her with her boot. "That's just Leman, he's an old friend from the neighborhood."

"I've never seen him before."

"Not that neighborhood lass." Leman grumbled as he dusted himself off. "She means from the…" Leman stopped when he saw Megan's trained eye on him. "… um… just from around… we know each other from just running into each other a lot."

"Uh huh." Both Ruby and Megan said not buying that at all.

"Yeah… so you must be Ruby." Leman said trying shift the focus of conversion away from him and Yang. "I've heard a lot about you, but you're still a short little thing, what'ch doin' on this ship to Beacon." Yang quickly pulled her sister close in pride of her sister before speaking on her behalf.

"She's skipping two whole years because she's that awesome. She stopped a Dust store robbery and helped catch a criminal."

"Um, Yang… Roman got away."

"That's not the one I was talking about." Yang half joked while Corvus just glared.

"Well I wasn't the only one who stopped the robbery…" Ruby sped over to Corvus' side. "…Corvus helped too." The three newcomers looked over Corvus, Leman wondering how good he might be in a fight or in a party, Fulgrim did a quick look over but began ignoring him once it was clear that the two had very different ideas on aesthetics, while Megan simply focused on the Grimm on his shoulder.

"You all see the Nevermore on his shoulder, right?" She asked bluntly.

"This is Deliverance…" Corvus said letting said bird hop onto his hand. "He's perfectly friendly… to people who don't punch other people unwarranted." He continued to glare at Yang.

"Grimm aren't toys or pets… they are children of anarchy and seek nothing more than the suffering of intelligent life." Megan countered.

"Well… he's never hurt anyone that didn't deserve it… maybe he's different somehow?" Corvus said letting the Nevermore rest back on his shoulder.

"Beowolfs never attack me when I'm out huntin'." Leman said standing next to Corvus.

"Well I think the thing is pure evil." Yang said standing next to Megan.

"Well I think he's cute." Ruby said standing next to Leman. They all looked at Fulgrim, Corvus' team already won but Fulgrim could tie everything up. The silver haired boy sighed.

"Grimm do get smarter as they age, maybe this one has lived long enough to know its place." He said as he reluctantly stood with the Pro side.

"Traitor… whatever…" Megan said as she turned back to the window, ignoring the group while they felt her anger wave off her.

"So… um… you three are siblings? You don't like each other." Ruby asked trying to move on from the Nevermore.

"We're all from the Gold family." Megan shrugged. "I'd kill myself if I was related to the furry idiot."

"The Gold family?" Ruby thought she had heard of it before but couldn't place it.

"The Primarch boot camp." Corvus answered. "There's a old rich guy, that's Mr. Gold, and he adopts young kids… and they all become Astartes. And they all become Primarchs." Ruby noticed that Corvus seemed a little uneased by the mention of the topic.

"Its not like we all are promised to become Primarchs, our brother Angron refused the War Hounds position." Fulgrim said trying to defend their father as being some creep that takes young children to turn them into killing machines.

"Oh yeah! Why would he ever do that, the War Hounds re the coolest. I'm going to apply to that legion after Beacon." Yang said excitedly. "They always get into the best fights." The War Hounds, the fighters and brawlers that lived to fight and fight again, always in constant war with the Orks, Eldar pirates, Grimm, White Fang, and the World Eaters.

"I myself I'm going to join the Emperor's Children Legion; they are the true bastions of culture and nobility." Fulgrim said with an air of pride and confidence. The Emperor's Children were in fact a gathering of the more artistic Astartes that wished to create and protect the various works of art and the overall culture of the Imperium, to say they were popular would be a massive understatement and to join you had to be a prodigy in artistic talents in some way or form and even better in combat. To join your fighting style must be a work of art in of itself.

"The Tundra Wolves, nothing less would be for me." Leman growled out happily. The Hunters of the Emperor, the undisputed kings and queens of tracking and killing all the stand in the way of the Emperor's justice.

"Thousand Sons." Megan said still not looking back at the group. The masters of the arcane, the Thousand Sons are the scientists of the soul. Constantly researching things like Aura and Dust, as well as Grimm.

"Well of course the nerd wants to join the nerd Legion." Leman prodded.

"What about you Ruby? Which Legion do you want to join/" Yang asked her sister.

"I don't know… that's something you decide at your last year at Signal… maybe the Salamanders."

"You a pyrophilic?" Leman asked bluntly before being hit again by Megan.

"What's that?" Ruby asked innocently.

"It means you really like fire." Corvus said flatly not wanting to ruin Ruby's innocent ideals.

"Oh… well I don't really like fire but they help a lot of people and that's why I want to be a Astartes. They also keep good care of their weapons and teach you a lot about weapons and I've always really liked…" Megan stared down Leman before he could make a comment on her choice of words. "… weapons so… yeah… Salamanders… what about you Corvus?" Ruby said trying to shift the focus over to someone else.

"Me… hadn't thought about since I never wanted to be an Astartes before…" Corvus thought about the various legions that the Imperium had for the Astartes. "Maybe the Night Lords… or the Alpha Legion."

"You want to be a spook?" Yang asked with a raised eyebrow. The Night Lords were the boggy men of the Imperium, working as the interrogators and hunters of criminals. While the Alpha Legion… no one really knew what they did but was very classified.

"What about the Raven Guard?" Ruby suggested.

"Raven Guard… aren't they jailers and wardens. Why the warp would I join them?" Corvus scoffed. The idea was silly, him… a Warden of the worst the Imperium had to offer.

"Maybe because you have so much experience on the inside you might be able to help people instead of just locking them up." Ruby responded, her believing eyes made Corvus unable to make a snide remark dismissing such a thing.

"Um… sure… that sounds… okay. I'll have to think about it." Corvus said trying not to look as embarrassed as he felt but there was no hiding it from Yang or Leman who began making faces at him behind Ruby's back. They all stopped when the announcement for the new students.

"Hello and welcome to Beacon Academy, I am Glenda Goodwitch. These next few years will spent learning and becoming the Emperor's Champions, members of the Adeptus Astartes. All of you have shown the many qualities that are looked for in Astartes and your time in Beacon will hone these very qualities as well as sharpen those that you might need help with. You will learn everything a Astarte will need to serve the Imperium, Combat, Statesmanship, an Will of Stell, and a passion to advance the Imperium forward. There are many dangers facing the Imperium and it will be up to you to stand tall, this is only the first step." The image said before closing out allowing for the future students a look out to see Beacon.

"Wow… its so huge." Ruby said with awe. The rest of the group moved up to window.

"Well… it certainly make a large impression." Megan said before they all turned to the sound of a blond boy starting to throw up. "It would seem we aren't all as ready as we thought." Megan said with a slight smile as the boy ran past them to a trash can.

"Ew! Yang some it got on your shoe!"

Codex-Astartes For the Common Man

By Roboute Guilliman

Based on the Codex-Astartes by Roboute Guilliman

Chapter One, Astartes

They are called many names, Hunters of Grimm, Cleansers of the Greenskins, The Knife to the Traitor's throat, but most common of all... the Emperor's Angels of Death. The Adeptus Astartes was started by the Emperor himself, the technology to create these super soldiers came from him and the training program set by him. Where the Guard fails the Astartes will succeed, where common men fail the Astartes will never. They take many roles within the Imperium and all of the, they perform in excellence.

To become one of the Emperor's Chosen one must be accepted in to one of the four Astartes schools located in Atlas, Mistral, Vale, and Vacuo. During their time in these schools they will learn everything they need to become Astartes, primarily Combat and Statesmanship. As Astartes must not only be the best warriors mankind has to offer but also their brightest minds and rulers. Also during their period of schooling they are implanted with the enhancements that makes them superhuman, the Gene-Seed. (See Gene-Seed Codex page 456 for more details on subject)

While the High Lords of Remnant are politically in charge of the Imperium, it is unlikely that they would deny a request from the leaders of the Astartes Legions, unless two or more disagrees. As the Astartes are see by the common people as celebrities and role models it would be very difficult to remain in office if you openly oppose the Astartes. (For more information on the inner workings of Imperial Politics turn to page 134)

The Astartes are organized into Twenty Legions, each with their own individual role in the Imperium. The number of Astartes in each Legion is fluid, Aspirants are assigned to the Legion that best suits their talents and so the number of Astartes within a Legion is always in flux. The average number of Astartes in the Legions tends to hold around five hundred. (For the complete history and organization of each Legion turn to chapter 3 Legions.)

Each Legion is led by a single Astartes, their Primarch. How one becomes a Legion's Primarch differs between Legions. The Tundra Wolves have a yearly festival that is centered around a series of contests to see who is worthy of leading them. While the Imperial Fists have a vote every ten years. And some have less... certain ways. The Thousands Sons decide through group conscience on who in the Legion is the most intelligent. But in any Legion, the Primarch is the one who leads them and Legions thrive or suffer on their Primarch. (For more Information on Primarchs turn to the next chapter)

Author's Notes

First… I made Magnus a girl because there needed to be one, I'm not going to have all the Primarchs be dudes. And I didn't make Fulgrim a girl because that's too easy.

Second, no Bugs, Maybe undead robots, Yes blueberries.

Third, the Yang punching Corus joke is based off of one by Ashbel Longhart

I hope you all will like this blending of worlds as I figure out this story.
