#primarch Jaune

[superiorsturgeon]

Techpriest!Ruby: Jaune, how could you make Pyrrha into a new primarch? You know that it’s heresy to tamper with Big E’s genetic work!

Primarch!Jaune: If you tell anyone, I’ll tell the Mechanicus about the time I walked in on you having sex with that Man of Iron “P3N-ny” and screaming “Da red onez go fasta!” when you climaxed!

Techpriest!Ruby: …

Primarch!Jaune: …

Techpriest!Ruby: …so does Pyrrha have her own bunch of space marines now, or…?

Primarch!Jaune: They’re called the “Bitch Stabbers” and they’re very polite! 😁

Remnant Knights and their successor chapters when Jaune Returns:

[lonesilverw0lf]

My take on the RWBY/40K idea. It’s not a ‘Jaune is a Lost Primarch’ that @guardsman-of-remnant or @the-wayward-arc have, or as thought out as @weatherman667 Astartes Chapters.

Juane was a normal guy who’s planet was destroyed. Then he decides to do something about it and potentially changes the course of the galaxy.

Jaune’s early life and world was dealt a bad hand. On a planet considered backwater, ruled over by incompetent lords, an over paranoid and self-righteous Inquisitor, continually and unrightfully drained of resources, repeatedly denied aid and due process, castigated for things beyond their control, and so on. Punished for ‘refusing to pay their tithe’ despite the fact they did pay the tithe but it was attacked by pirates. There was even a time when an enterprising farmer designed a better water pump, really all he did was find an older and better model and made more. Yet somehow the Mechanichum got wind of it and declared it Technoheresy. They destroyed every model and glassed a good swathe of the planet. Those are just a couple of many examples that Jaune was alive to experience. When everyday looks like hell, the Warp starts looking pretty good. Well between a Chaos uprising and a surprise Ork Waaah, alongside the possible threat of a Tyrranid fleet, the planet was declared hopeless and Exterminatus was ordered.

However instead of dying with the rest of the system’s population, Jaune was whisked away to another dimension. A pocket realm in-between the Materium and Immaterium. This realm was reined by a goddess yet not a goddess, who also sits in a weird in between with the materium and immaterium. Said goddess was an entity from another galaxy before the War in Heaven. She started off as just another galaxy conquering dragon, but after a few zillion years that got boring. Seeing the Old Ones and their creations she decided to observe. She’s got nothing but time, so why not? Over time she became loving, a gardener, a collector, a teacher. She doesn’t interfere with the Materium much because of her overwhelming power, and her control over the Immaterium is mostly spent keeping her corner of the galaxy protected from everything else. She’s pretty hands off and lets everyone else do their own thing, hence she didn’t take part in the War in Heaven. Or much else for that matter. She likes to watch the galaxy spin and all its different paths.

In her Library Jaune finds out the truth of the Horus Heresy, along with many other Heresies and major calamaties from alternate timelines that brought the Imperium to its knees and eventual demise. Horus Heresy, Robutian, Dornian, Lion, Erebrun, each and every Heresy and their potential variations. In a desperate bid to prevent these calamities, Jaune convinces his goddess to send himself and a motley collection of volunteers back in time to just before the Great Crusade. A Suicide Squad consisting of those that the Imperium would execute on the spot: Mutants, Abhumans, Heretics, Traitors, Xenos, Abominable Intelligence, and more. I’m sure Big E would get a laugh out of the irony.

Jaune knows that he can’t do half of what he wants to do. They can’t deal with anything big, like E’s journey into the Warp, the creation of the Primarchs and Astartes, the scattering of the Primarchs, the Great Crusade, etc. He can’t just go and tell the Emperor or Malcador about this. They won’t listen first off, and then they’ll just kill him for knowing too much, trying to play with things he has no business in, or just because Jaune refuses to kiss their asses.

He can’t just go out and pick up all the Primarchs and raise them like his own sons post-scattering. They’re scattered too far apart, their homeworlds need them in some fashion, the worlds are too big and dangerous to be looking for them, the Crew is always on the move which would be bad for their personal growth, each of them are too intelligent to not notice something’s different, they grow too fast for their limited resources, and more. Not to mention the unwanted attention they’d bring themselves from Chaos and Big E. That would spell doom in no time.

What they can do is use their knowledge of what happened and what could be to alter small yet key moments. A quick bombing run to eliminate the Butcher’s Nails factories, ensuring Corvus makes it to the surface, eliminating Kor Pheron, erasing Erebrus from the equation, keeping RG’s family alive from the deamon(Robutian Heresy story), warn and prepare several civilizations of what’s coming, plant a few bugs into each of the Primarchs’ flagships regarding certain orders, and more. These guys do not get a day off. They have to move in relative secrecy because who’s going to believe them? And those who may will likely have him killed for ‘interfering with the Emperor’s will’.

He’s met with relative success in his endeavors. Angron wasn’t implanted with the Butcher’s Nails, but with a different kind of device of similar purpose. This new set wouldn’t turn Angron’s brain to soup like the Butcher’s Nails did, this set gave him a form of split personality in the same way that Bruce Banner has with the Hulk. So Angron can be either the Stalwart Paladin type he was meant to be, or the Raging Barbarian type from canon. It’s a flip of the coin with him. Give the guy some more complexity than just rage rage rage.

It eventually comes to a point where he’s too far into the game to know what to do next. He’s changed too much to know the right call. The Primarchs are all gathered and conquering systems, so trying to do anything to them is out. Chaos has to know about his meddling by now, probably the Emperor as well. Despite the anti-aging tech, he's getting too old. His entire crew has fallen one by one. He’s the last man standing in this crusade.

Out of resources, options, ideas, allies, full of desperation, Jaune decides to throw one last Hail Mary. He calls in a favor from his Goddess, and through means that I haven’t decided on, gathers all the Primarchs in one room, locks the door, glues them to their seats, and lays it all out on them.*

He explains who he is, what his mission is, the nature and rise of Chaos, large parts of the Emperor’s plan, and all that. He tells them of all the potential futures, all the Heresies, the one where E decides to make Eye of Terror 2.0, one where all the Primarchs go balls to the wall mosh pit civil war, how each of them could/did fall, the War of Heaven, the Tyrranids, Necrons, Tau, many other subfactions, potential allies, those that would’ve been very helpful but were butchered, allies in one but not another, what E has done and his potential plans, their own half Warp entity souls, lots of history, lots of secrets exposed, what Jaune and crew have done, and so on.

He doesn’t hold anything back either. He rants on about how badly humanity has fallen, how logic and reason are replaced with fanaticism, progress with stagnation, the hypocrisy, the injustice, the stagnation and corruption of the Imperium, the bloated and rotting corpse of a once great civilization, the works. He even has a nice little partial Abominable Intelligence helping him out. It puts up all sorts of data, photos, videos, recordings, etc. to supplement Jaune’s rants. Just a little guy that gives intel like how Astartesanonymous, Majorkill, Isyanderandkoda, Livefromtheblacklibrary, Wes, and them give lore explanations.

 “But it’s only one guy who did a cute trick of keeping us in our seats and talks a lot, why should we believe him?” Sorry to do this to you Sanguinius, but he just casually drops the fact that your legion suffers from the Blood Thirst in front of everyone. The thing that you fought so hard to keep quiet from everyone and only a few even within your Legion knew about? Yeah that’ll get your attention, along with everyone else’s given how badly you react. Dropping a couple less dangerous secrets from the Lion’s assortment of secrets is also on the table. Pretty sure Alpharius wouldn’t mind getting pointed out as the actual first Primarch recovered, #sarcasm. He drops a little skeleton from each of their closets in front of everyone.

Suffice to say he isn’t going to be invited to any family cookouts after this.

He calls out each of them on their critical failures, dangerous shortcomings, hypocritical mindests, how easily they fell to Chaos, all the ways Papa E screwed up and is still screwing up, and more. All while calling them the stupid nicknames the Crew used. Mufasa, Simba, Long Johnson, for the Lion. Rowboat Girlyman, Bobby G, Robot Gorrillaman, for Robute. Fido, Balto, Scruffy, for Leman. And so on. He only calls them by their proper names once, at the very beginning when he was introducing himself and being respectful.

Is it smart to insult a room of the most powerful people in the galaxy and their daddy? Or talk down to them like the emotionally immature people they are? No. If it weren’t for the Goddess favor pinning them to their seats and disabling their gear and abilities he’d be dead and he knows that. They try to use their Primarch Aura on him, but after however long serving his Goddess he’s relatively immune to it. And he’s in such a IDGAF mindset that the most they get out of him is a raised eyebrow. It’d take one of the Chaos Gods’ or the Big E’s aura to really make him shake.

However pointing out flaws without a solution is just bitching. He gives credit where credit is due. He offers help and suggestions to a lot of their problems. He asks everyone to start appreciating Perty a little more, tells the Prophecy duo to get together and speak with some Farseers about their visions, commends the achievements of the Builder Brothers and ways to make their stuff even better, etc. He gives them self-help books, some psychiatric care books, and some insights from various sources to help out with some of their more human problems. God knows E isn’t helping them out with any of this.

Jaune had the foresight to make volumes of his findings. He drops many encyclopedias worth of books in front of them, all scaled up in size for their convenience. They hold everything. Names, dates, quotes, specifications, supply lines, blueprints, maps, numbers, persons of interest, items of interest, planets of interest, deamons of interest, xenos of interest, xenos that are beneficial to the galaxy and the Imperium, xenos that Leman can have fun exterminating, xenos that must be protected, xenos that can be uplifted, xenos that are up in the air, events that could happen, things that Jaune prevented from happening, nothing was left out. Not just books pertaining to the Primarchs and their dealing with Chaos, as both opponents and slaves to it, either. He also dumped books detailing events from the various futures for the next 10 millennia. Greatest victories, worst defeats, the breaking of the Legions, Successor Chapters, betrayals, redemptions, plots, plots within plots, the power of Faith, the detriments and benefits of groups like the Inquisition and Ecclesiarchy, the strength of character in Xenos races, and on and on and on. The Primarchs have quite a bit of reading to do.

Don’t worry Lemon Rush, you can still have your fun hunting down Xenos. Here’s a stack of books detailing all those filthy Xenos that are detrimental to the Imperium and galaxy at large! This lists where they are, what danger they pose, what their biology is, how best to kill them, and so on. Have fun!

Guilliman, here’s a stack for you regarding Xenos that are good guys that could use a hand. Vulcan, here’s a buncha worlds that could really use your more human touch. Horus, these worlds are major players so will be better won with your diplomacy. And so on.

So what is the Primarchs reaction? Do they accept the things he’s said? Do they bring this intelligence to the Emperor and Malcador? Do they take a hard look at themselves and decide to do better? Do they throw themselves at the feet of Chaos? Do they slow down the Crusade to better reinforce the reclaimed worlds? Do they help each other overcome their weaknesses and petty grievances so Chaos has less of a foothold on their souls? Do they exacerbate their flaws? Do they watch each other’s backs for Chaotic influence? Do they start training their Sons in Astartes vs Astartes combat? Astartes vs Chaos combat? Do they purge the corrupt members of their legions? Do they decide to eradicate the dangerous Xenos while uplifting the benevolent ones? Do they go hard in ways to better the Imperium? Do they become the mindless tools that E wanted them to be? Do they start to stand up to the Emperor and call him out on his shit when he needs it?

Jaune has no idea what they decided, or what any of their thoughts were. After he drops everything on them, gives them the books and AI, he walks out the door. His only thoughts were getting blackout drunk and working on the next step after the hangover. That particular conversation never left that room as far as he’s concerned or aware. He’s fully expecting any one of them to turn him into a red mist for his attitude, or a visit from the Banana Squad for a ‘chat’. He doesn’t even care what happens to him now.

He doesn’t even manage to find a bottle before he’s in trouble. He’s hit from the side, a mortal wound that kills slowly and painfully. However his attacker isn’t anyone from any branch of the Imperium. A deamon has been hunting him and his crew ever since he came back to the past. This is the thing that’s been orchestrating the deaths of his friends one by one. It’s very proud of its work and monologues like a cartoon villain. He just saved Jaune for last since he’s the leader. Something about helplessly watching as your friends are picked off as you can do nothing.

Taking this as confirmation that Jaune was doing the right thing he gets up for one last go. As noble as he is he can be a spiteful little shit, so he’s not going down without a fight. Jaune uses a single word of Enuncia to banish the demon, however his previous injuries and the power of the word kills him at the same time.

This is a good ending right? Did everything he could, gave those who hold the galaxy in their hands everything they need to keep things going right, gave a big middle finger to Chaos, the Emperor, and the demon, and died an unsung hero. Good place for retirement right?

However Jaune’s not done! The word quit doesn’t exist in his dictionary, especially when he knows that he was making a difference. Or was at least enough of a thorn in Chaos’ side to warrant a personal Demon after him. He reject’s his Goddess’ offer of a peaceful afterlife to go back for more. He’s a sucker for suffering sometimes. He crawls his way through the warp to be reborn in an Avatar type way. His DNA is identical, he holds the same kind soul and indomitable spirit, but he’s a fresh slate in everything else. The ‘current Jaune’ doesn’t know anything about the potential futures, his past lives, or any of that. The most that his original past self, the ‘original Jaune’, can do is subconsciously nudge him in what should be the right direction. Eventually the Demon, which I dub Little Timmy, comes back from the Warp to kill him again. To which Jaune’s original soul takes over in a sense, like how Ozma fights alongside his current host and body, and the two die in a draw yet again. Then he crawls back through the Warp to be reborn yet again, and so the cycle repeats.

Jaune does most everything during this series of cycles. Was an Astartes for each of the legions at least once even the Lost 2, guardsman, Commisar, Rouge trader, mechanicum, planetary lord, bounty hunter, Psyker, Blank, anything and everything as long as it wasn’t under E’s direct oversight like the Inquisition, Assassinorum, Custodes, and the like. Not to say he hasn’t tangoed with and against such organizations over the cycles.

Despite having the same face and dna, he’s missed completely by those in the know. Besides the fact his Goddess is blocking certain figures’ sight from recognizing him properly, think how just a piece of fabric over the eyes works for most heroes identities, he’s just one guy in trillions of trillions in that particular sector. They might have an idea of ‘that guy seems familiar’ in a déjà vu kind of way, but easily dismiss it. How common are blue eyed blonde dudes? The only confirmation that the Primarchs get that Jaune has been reborn again is during or after his fight with Little Timmy. Jaune leaves a message or calls them or whatever, and the original soul makes sure he calls them by one of the stupid nicknames from the chew out session. Who else would have the balls to call Ferrus Manus Tin Can Sam, or can tell the difference to know which TweedleTwin he’s talking to? Not like they can do much by the time/if they get the message, he died in the duel again. They’re lucky to find parts of his body from the fight. Little Timmy tends to desire a lot of collateral whenever possible, and Jaune isn’t always the roided up transhuman super soldier to trade blows so he has to get creative when he fights.

*As everyone else is stuck to their chairs, Jaune is standing on the table to look them in the eyes and move around easier. Also allows him to move close enough to the Primarchs to drop the reading material in front of them, but not close enough to be grabbed. It’s a funny image, but couldn’t find a spot where it would fit so here it is.

~

I have no idea where some of this should go, but I know that it should be a mess of things anyway because it’s 40K. As much as I don’t want any of the Primarchs taken by Chaos now that they have guidebooks on what to look out for and just how fucked that would be if they do, I can see a few of them falling anyway. Fulgrim for instance. I can see him taking the Laer Blade just to try and show Jaune that ‘Oh look, I guess you were wrong and I am strong enough to carry a demonic blade and not get corrupted!’ That’s the reason he talked down to you like a child, ya Purple Nurple! I love the idea of Snakegrim and Clonegrim duking it out, a duel of both loyalties and ideals. Although from what I hear from the various fangroups I’m in we probably won’t see that. Dangit GW. You’re missing a trunkful of easy money.

I’m not sure how the other Primarchs should be affected by Jaune’s meddling either. Angron was just an easy picking on how to change things up.

[howlingday]

How about the glorious, god emperor of mankind as asshole uncle who is a the best leader but sucks as a parent and uncle

Ah, a fine choice... for a corpse on a throne

The God-Emperor of Mankind would be an interesting choice, but sadly does not meet the requirements for Jaune's Family. However, there is the Jaune the Lost Primarch AU if you'd like to indulge in RWBY Warhammer crossover pieces.

[falleri-salvatore]

RWBY AU Prompt:

--There are Four Foundational Families (one in each: Vale, Mistral, Mantle/Atlas and Vacuo) that can be considered Primarchical Royal Families (that is to say: they are Ozlem descendants. This fact is VERY hidden knowledge; so hidden in fact that neither Salem nor Ozpin knew until later on). --The Four Foundational Families share the following characteristics: Incredibly powerful and versatile (as well as hereditary) Semblances, immensely potent and dense Aura (not always vast, this depends on the individual), incredible life force (that is to say, they age slowly, seldom get ill and have much larger than average lifespan), and recessive yet highly persistent Silver Eyes AND Black Blood genes (rarely, some descendants are born with either one or both of these traits being dominant at random). The Schnee and Pendragon (now Arc) families are two confirmed families out of the four. --The Schnee and the Arc families have a longtime friendship with each other (which leads to the Schneeblings and the Arc Siblings being childhood friends). --Cinder was found and adopted by Qrow. Because of the series of events that unfolded prior to this, Qrow was ALMOST persona-non-grata in Atlas (Ironwood, Willow and Ozpin had to call in on a LOT of favors for the "Almost" part). --Weiss (and by extension Winter and Whitley) are childhood friends with Jaune (and his sisters). However, whereas Weiss enrolled in Atlas Prep to follow her sister's footsteps, Jaune studied in Shade Academy, where he met and befriended Pyrrha Nikos (and became her first and best friend, as well as her first love and her friendliest rival). --Saphron, Winter, Cinder and Terra studied in Beacon (Saphron, Winter and Terra came from Atlas Prep, where as Cinder came from Signal) and were on the same team (Team ASBT/Asbestos). Saphron was the leader, Saphron and Terra were partners while Winter and Cinder were partnered. --Winter and Cinder got along like cat-and-dog/ice-and-fire, with Cinder goading and taunting Winter every chance she could and Winter inevitably losing her temper (think of Qrow and Winter's canon dynamic). Cinder disdained Winter (at first) because she thought of her as a spoiled Atlesian princess (and Cinder hated anything to do with Atlas) while Winter detested being compared to a vapid socialite that was common for an Atlesian lady of her age (it was the reason she chose to come to Beacon after all, with Ironwood's endorsement no less, to get away from it all).

--Saphron Arc was pretty much the "Summer Rose/Glynda Goodwitch/Pyrrha Nikos" of her generation; that is to say, she was an unparalleled prodigy among her peers (shame that she, along with Terra, retire from being huntsmen early on). --Because of the different circumstances, Cinder Branwen was made the Fall Maiden instead of Amber (originally, Saphron was the one planned to be made the maiden; however, she declined). Amber, instead, is one of Cinder's bodyguards. --During their time in Beacon: Weiss and Pyrrha are fierce rivals in both love (over Jaune) and combat, and every time they fight, they never fail to destroy the arena. It has gotten to the point that Glynda prohibits them from fighting each other during Combat Class because she dreads having to clean up the mess. --Ozpin and Qrow can't help but reminisce over the fact that Pyrrha's and Weiss' rivalry was like a mix between Summer's and Raven's (fighting over Tai), and Winter's and Cinder's (fundamentally so very very similar that they can't help BUT clash).

[obligatoryjauneblog]

Can you do a mini series where Jaune is a Son of X Primarch? And maybe a special where Grandpa E visits? The Son of Fulgrim was hilarious.

Holy shit I haven't opened these for awhile, eh the 40k x RWBY thing I've seen done a bit plus even the "Jaune is a primarch/primarch's son" bit has been done a few times. Idk I'll think about it

[jinxsmandalorianmalewife]

Jaune has angron in his head telling how to fight

Then we must help the boy before he becomes corrupted by that foul traitorous Primarch

[greatkittydream]

Chaos primarch jaune shows up. Both jaune's stare at each other. Proceeds to jump cinder like in jujutsu kaisen meme.

Thanksgiving in the grim Dark future

November 15, year XXXX, 

Beacon Academy:

Time: 1130 hrs

Nora: *humming a happy tune while leading a tall figure towards beacon* 

???: *groaning*

Nora: *turning around* Are you feeling okay, aunt Kanna?

Said figure, now revealed to be Kassandra Curze, Primarch of the traitor legion the night lords,  looked down at her niece/surrogate daughter.

Kassandra: It’s the sun; I’m not very fond of it, seeing as how I grew up in the dark recesses of nostramo’s hive cities. Even my current attire isn’t helping well. 

(think of lady D’s outfit but more gothic)

Nora: I see…..So We’ll Just *dramatic pose* BLOW UP THE SUN!

Kassandra: *blinking owlishly before laughing* Nora, sweetie, we cannot destroy the sun. Otherwise, life on this planet and others could cease.

Nora: Well, tell’em to get a lot of light bulbs cause….....hey, what’s that noise?

A faint humming can be heard across the landing pad, and it only grew louder as something approached. Many looked up expecting another bullhead but were surprised to see a massive ship flying over. While the masses watched in awe, Kassandra's eyes widened as she recognized it as an Astartes dropship and the color scheme of a particular legion.

Kassandra: *muttering* The Raven Guard…..

Nora: who?

Kassandra: *not looking away from the dropship* Nora…….. find Elena.

Nora: *confused* what? Why?

Kassandra didn’t get to answer as the Raven Guard dropship began releasing its passengers.

Location: JNPR Dorm;

Time:1150 hrs

Pyrrha: *packing* It was nice of your mother to invite our families and us for Thanksgiving

Jaune: Well, it is the first time I have actual friends over & not some d-bags who wanted to get closer to my sisters. Plus, I think she’s doing this to find me a potential wife.

Ren: Well, no matter the reason, Nora and I will be thrilled to celebrate with you. 

Jaune: speaking of which, wasn’t Nora supposed to bring her aunt Kanna?

On cue, Nora burst through the door, her clothes looked a bit ruffed, and she breathed heavily. 

Pyrrha: oh, Nora! where’s ……

Instead of answering, she immediately rushed to her bed, throwing random things around til she found magnhild. 

Ren: *concerned* Nora, what are…

He never got his answer since she ran back out, leaving her friends puzzled & seriously concerned.

Jaune: what was that about?

Ren: I don’t know. I’ve never seen her like this before. Well, except when some proclaimed waffles were better than pancakes.

Just then, the trio heard screams and what sounded like gunfire. However, it sounded heavier than a regular or huntsman-made firearm.

Ren: Is that?!

Jaune: Bolter fire *turning to Pyrrha* Pyrrha, find my mom. She was with emerald last I remember! Ren, with me, we must try to minimize the damage. 

Pyrrha nodded and rushed off to find Elena, while Jaune & Ren grabbed their weapons, running towards the attack, hoping to prevent any casualties.

Ren: WHat doing think is going on?!

Jaune: No idea, but somehow Nora is involved

Location: Beacon Courtyard

Time: 1215hr

???: IS THIS IT?! IS THIS ALL THE FEARED DARK QUEEN HAD TO OFFER!?

Kassandra, now bloody and beaten from her nephew's attack, hung her head look as she lay helpless on the ground. She came without weapons or her armor, the students fled when the space marines began firing on her, and it seems the staff is unaware of her current situation. 

???: LOOK AT ME, TRAITOR! LOOK UPON YOU, EXECUTIONER!

Kassandra:........

???:.......KAVYAAN

One of the more prominent Space marines, now known as Kayvaan Shrike, chapter master of the raven guard, steps forward. He motions to another then they both grab Kassandra's arms, lifting her so the voice can see her better.

???: LOOK AT ME, Curze!

Kayvaan Shrike: Our primarch speaks to you, traitor! 

Kassandra weakly lifts her head. The voice belongs to none other than Corina Corvax, primarch of the Raven Guard.

Corina: the imperium was made to believe you perished, but here you stand on this world. Tell me, how did you escape your judgment? How many have you slaughtered for your dark gods? 

Kassandra:.......c…c….corina….

Corina: So you finally speak. 

Kassandra: C….Corina…listen to me. I’ve changed. I no longer crave slaughter and have no contact with my legion. I found peace here. I just wish to be 

Before she could finish, Corina punched her gut, causing her to vomit blood onto the ground. Then Kayvaan grabbed her head, forcing her to look at Corina again.

Corina: *disgusted* I have no time for your excuses, sister. Your judgment awaits.

Corina raised her power claw, Ready to strike the finishing blow to her sister.

Corina: *softly* May the Emperor’s peace be with you,

Nora: *flying towards Corina, full of rage, magnhild raised high above her head* GET AWAY FROM HER!

Magnhild connected with the force of a goliath on Corina. She successfully knocked her back a few feet, surprising the Primarch and her Space Marines. 

Raven Guard: How?! No mere mortal can do that to a Primarch!

Kassandra: *looking up*N…Nora?!

Nora: *turning to the RG holding her surrogate mother. Already charging at them, hammer raised* GET……OFF……MY…….MOTHER 

Kayvaan quickly dropped Kassandra’s right arm as he went to counter Nora. Activating his power claws, he was surprised when he couldn’t slice through the hammer but promptly followed up with a knee to her more petite body, knocking the breath from her body, shattering a few of her ribs, and forcing blood to erupt from her mouth.

Kassandra: Nora!!!

Kayvaan: Hmph, as I suspected. *he picked magnhild up, giving it a light inspection, before bending the handle, tossing it away* Nothing but a child. Though your strength is comparable to a Space marine’s, you are untrained and cannot fully use it. That is good, seeing as how you consider this…heretic your mother. For this world to survive, I must purge you. I am genuinely sorry, child.

Kassandra’s eyes widen at the chapter master’s statement. She didn’t want to believe what she had heard, but she knew it was possible.

Kassandra: C….C…..CORINA, YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS!

Corina: *staggering up in thought* “How is this child so strong? Her strength is comparable to a primarchs! If Kassandra is involved….then. This might be the only way*........

Kassandra watched her sister remain silent as the chapter raised his power claw. As time slowed to a crawl, her curse of visions returned. What she saw horrified her.

Nora lay dead at her feet, Elena And Corina battling over the smothering remains of beacon academy. Daemon spawn ran rampant as people screamed in terror. Then she saw herself sitting on a throne of corpses, and a smiling scorpion was draped over her shoulder as a baby’s cry could be heard. The final vision was of remnant burning from imperial bombardments with the dark gods laughing.

Mustering all her remaining strength, she tore herself free from the RG holding. Crawling her way to Nora as fast as she could before Kavyaan could strike. She cradled the heaving Nora against her, begging with all she had left.

Kassandra: LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE, PLEASE! KILL ME IF YOU MUST, JUST SPARE HER, PLEASE…..Please….spare my daughter……

The loyalist stood in shock, especially Corina. The night haunter, protecting a child like a newborn. The idea was unheard of during the great crusade and solidified during the horus heresy. Seeing it now made them question themselves.

Kavyaan: *looking towards Corina* My Lady?

Corina said nothing as she approached her weeping sister. Part of her wants to believe that this is all a farse and that she'll attack once they lower their guard. But seeing her in a vulnerable state and finally seeing her attire,  perhaps she miss judged her. Maybe curze, no Kassandra had truly changed heer was. Was this girl the cause? 

Whatever the reasoning, it still didn’t matter. Kassandra was active in the drop site massacre, the torture of vesta, the slaughter of countless innocents and more. There is no redemption for traitors, only the emperor’s peace.

Corina moved to strike Kassandra down until a sizeable green gauntlet grabbed her shoulder.

???: Enough, Cori

Kassandra lifted her head towards the voice, eyes widening at her savior. Her skinned dark with fiery red eyes, her hair a shade of cyan that seemed to flicker like fire.

 Vesta, primarch of the salamanders and mother of emerald sustari, held Corina back, her gaze directed at her. Behind her stood a small squad of salamanders, standing at the ready in case of conflict with their cousins. 

Corina: Vesta! What are you doing? 

Vesta: She’s changed. She is no longer the night haunter nor a traitor.

Corina: Vesta, listen to reason. After everything she’s done, people tortured, children slaughtered, the drop site massacre! There is no redemption for a traitor like her!

Vesta: I know, Cori. I can’t say I will forgive her for everything she's done. Yet somehow, I think that girl has made her change for the better. 

Vesta made her way to Kassandra, kneeling before the cowering primarch, smiling warmly as she saw Kassandra cradling Nora.

Vesta: I guess she made you strive to be better, too huh

Kassandra nodded in response. Still shaken that Vesta, of all people, came to her rescue before Corina could execute her and Nora. Said woman was now flying towards their position from an unknown force. 

Vesta: *seeing a downed Corina* Corina! 

Seeing their combined squads completely frozen, Vesta looked towards Corina’s attacker, her eyes widening at the sight of Elena staring down the space marines & the primarchs

Elena: Raven Guard, Salamanders, What is the meaning of this attack!?

 Around her were Pyrrha & team Rwby. Their drawn weapons because supposed allies attacked the friend/cousin. Shortly after their arrival, Ren and Jaune charged with the Glynda, Ozpin, Ironwood, and a small flight of soldiers behind them, aiming at the Imperials.

Nora: *wheezing* ook…..em…..ong…. Enough,

Kassandra: Quite now, save your strength.

Ren: *staring past the imperials* Jaune….if she’s injured for life…

Jaune: I know. And I’ll be there beside you,

Ozpin: *glaring* Now….Which of would you be so kind as to explain why your attacked my student and her family?

Not a word was said until Elena spoke once more.

Elena: *staring down the imperials* Well!? Speak!

Vesta: E…Eleni?

Elena: *Staring down Vesta* Vesta? You’re…..alive? Hmph, it doesn’t matter now. What is important is why are Corina & you attacking Kassandra.

Vesta: Corina would be best to explain this. *sweat dropping at the knocked-out Corina* When she wakes,

Elena: *putting away her sword* Very well, tell your sons to escort Kassandra to an apothecary. We, dear sister, have much to talk about.

As all the people involved began to fill out of the courtyard, no one noticed the scorpion watching the entire ordeal from the shadows

???: *snarling* How…dare she…..

The scorpion’s tail curled in anger

???: How DaRe ShE hArM My bEloVEd

First off, it's not color coded like my other posts main because i did this in Google docs and that didn't transfer over so not doing that again.

2nd i do intend to do a pt. 2 later. Might be a bit more light hearted than this so expect that.

What do you think would happen if Jaune used Aura Amp on a Eldar?

Since, Aura is the soul, or part of it, and the Eldar are incredibly pyschic, what effect do you think it would have on one?

Is Jaune a Human with his apparent power level, or are we talking about Primarch Jaune?

Ruses with Ruses

Jaune looks at Pyrrha, “Pyrrha, I haven’t been entirely honest with you, I have another secret to tell you.”

Pyrrha turns to look at her partner, curiosity lighting up her emerald eyes.

“What’s that Jaune?”

Jaune shimmers in place before disappearing, as a giant in blue armor appeared towering in over Pyrrha.

“I am Alpharius.”

Pyrrha gasp. “That’s impossible.”

“Why is that?” The giant asked.

“Because,” Pyrrha shimmers in place and disappears. “I am Alpharius.” As she is replaced by another blue giant.

The door is thrown off it’s hinges, Nora and Yang runs in. “That’s stupid!”

“Because, we are Alpharius!” And they too turn into Alpharius.

Then the four Alpharius hear a roar and look over the side of the roof, seeing a crowd of bodies.

“WE ARE ALL ALPHARIUS!”

As a army of thousands of Alpharius’s stand in the courtyard.

Then Jaune-Alpharius raises a hand. “Actually, I was lying, I’m actually Omegon.”

A gasps goes over the crowd, as they turn away shocked and disgusted, but also impressed by the deception by the Primarch.

“He’s lying!” Another Alpharius says, and rips off Omegon’s helmet to reveal a blonde hunk of a demi-god. “He’s Sanguinius! He’s play us all for fools!”

Jaune/Alpharius/Omegon/Sanguinius sweats. “Um, I’m Alpharius?”

Silence goes over the area.

Then they all shrug. “Alright, he’s cool, back to confusing the ever living hell out of this world!”

The closest thing to a primarch Cawl ever made were the Primarus, and he didn't even invent them, he just followed the unfinished instructions the emperor left.

Fabius Bile made a perfect clone of a primarch, though.

Primarch Jaune

Jaune: *2.4 meters tall and wearing power armor with a Pumpkin Pete insignia* Hey, look! It took me and that weird dude Belisarius Cawl all week, but we made my girlfriend into a primarch too! 😃

Pyrrha: *2.7 meters tall and wearing red power armor* Hello again! 😁

Inquisitor: *on the phone* Can I get a supervisor over here?

Jaune: I can’t WAIT to show you what my friend Nora did with the Orks!

———————————————————

Ren: …and they just dropped you back here?

Jaune: Their exact words were, and I quote, “PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME!” 😢

I don’t even play W40k, but I’m familiar enough with the lore to know that a lot of it (particularly the orks!) can be really funny.

A little insight for Tenebrae Arc.

Tenebrae’s capsule would crash upon the world of Remnant in the far Eastern Fringes. He would be found by the huntsman Geoffrey Arc, who took the young Primarch in. Tenebrae would get along with his seven sisters and brother, however their settlement would be attacked by bandits a year later resulting in the young boy being killed by a surprise attack by the bandit leader. However, the surrendering populaces the boy regrow his injury and brutally kill the leader, causing the bandits to break ranks and retreat back in the woods. Hours later a stranger came to the settlement and offered the people a safer place to live, with the only payment being to serve his queen.

After swearing fealty to Salem in the “Grimmlands” Tenebrae begins to study the art of war, including every able body in the new settlement. Years later Tenebrae would have gained allies from the abhuman strain known as the Faunus, members of the noble house of Schnee and several individuals who infiltrated one of the fortress of the four kingdoms, Beacon. 

After the fall of Beacon, Tenebrae’s allies, at this point known as the Grimm for their use of the creatures of Grimm into battle. Vacuo would join in after a small force destroyed the Crown who tried to enslave the kingdom, Mistral would fall one year later after the Battle of Haven. Atlas being held back by rebel forces Mantle who were tired of the abuse they felt from the elite of their kingdom.

The Emperor would arrive as the Grimm forces were being ready to leave Mistral to aid their allies. Tenebrae requested the Emperor to let him retrieve something in Atlas, this item being the Staff of Creation. The events after words have been lost only to the Emperor, Tenebrae and Salem though what was known is that the Creatures of Grimm vanished. After finishing his request Tenebrae followed his father leaving command of the Grimm with his adoptive brother, Jaune Arc.

Once on Terra, Tenebrae tried to get to know both his father and brothers. He got along the most with Magnus the Red who was aiding his legion until his discovery. The two would talk about their views of the energy of the warp and how it should be used. Tenebrae unlocked the Crimson King’s aura which acted as a shield to the warp. Tenebrae and Mortarion almost clashed with one another with Mortarion calling Tenebrae a daemon thanks to his looks while Tenebrae would remark back that Mortarion is nothing more than a corpse. This led to the two primarchs to desipes one another before they were ordered by the Emperor to stop fighting.

When Tenebrae was given his legion he would rename them the Angels of Remnant and return to Remnant to unified it once and for all. Once the fall of Atlas has ended, the beginning of the Great Crusade through the Reliquiae Victorum. Which lead to the thousands words of Remnant. After such a feat, the Emperor allowed Tenebrae to work on a project that would aid the other Primarchs.

If Jaune was a son of...

Fulgrim

Jaune returning home for the holidays: So guys... Just.. just a warning, dad is a lil... Eccentric.

Nora: Why's he obsessed with eggs?

Ren: He means strange, Nora.

Jaune: Yeah so... Just bare with me okay.

Pyrrha: Oh how bad can he be?

Jaune: You have no idea... *Opens the door* Mom, dad, I'm home! I brought fri-

Fulgrim: Oh hey, Junior! *Was currently practicing a pole dance routine in the living room, nothing but oil on his body*

Jaune: *covering his eyes* God fucking dammit, dad! This is why I don't invite friends over!

Saw a lot of RWBY/40K stuff so I thought fuck it since I've been playing a lot of DoW and Darktide. Might revisit this, might just make another one with a different primarch.

[heliosthegriffin]

@weatherman667 I think the reason that Slannesh has claim on Eldar Souls isn't just that they Murderfucked them into existence, but that they eat the rest of the Eldar Gods like Asuryan, basically elf zeus, and took over their portions of the Warp. So, besides them having having no where to go in the Warp now, Slaanesh by eating everyone but Isha, Khaine, and The Clown, is basically their pantheon all in one, or at least sitting in the Prince of Pleasures stomach, and it basically gives them the deed to each eldar soul. That's how I see it though.

The problem with changing the future, is that it's never set, by trying to remove one problem you may unearth a dozen more.

Though, by removing Lorgar's most poisonous influence, it'd probably make him a better person. But, he is also desperate for something to worship, so it'd be funny if Jaune accidentally converted him to worshiping his goddess, with Jaune as her prophet. For surely, something so powerful to restrain all 18(20?) primarch is worthy of veneration. Which might lead to another heresy.

As above though, no Erebus or Kor Phareon, means really no Horus heresy, or any heresy. It's just leaves angry god-manchildren.

The Khan, Dorn, RG are the most rational among the Primarchs, so they would probably dwell the most on Jaune's message, and try to future proof everything. Perhaps, even going as far

Morty would probably still be a asshole, but a not a smelly mothman, as he'd merc typhon the minute he founded out about his Nurgle worship.

Perty getting some positive attention? He'd still be insufferable, but he'd at least stay loyalist. Though, he's also petulant, the idea he was restrained by Jaune would permanetly scar his ego, and work towards making a device so that never happens again. Which will be all the funnier when it does, or whenever Jaune dies he always throws a insult his way, so that he gets steamed.

Ferrus Manus would take it in stride, he's all about strength and survival of the fitess, so the fact he got restrained and lecture means he deserved it for lacking strength, so why not take it to heart? He'd probably remove his metal hands, and work on himself and him sons.

Fulgrim ... he'd get an intervention.

Sanguinus? I think he'd work towards helping his brothers, he has the best blend of all his brothers strength, including mental fortitude and wisdom, so even if did bruise his ego, he's not one to let his ego hold him back. If anything, this might lead to a t

Magnus won't learn shit, he's too damn prideful. In fact this would make his worse, since as he knows of the dangers before him, he'll think he's now suited to face them, and we all know how this ends.

Leman isn't as prideful as he appears, he'd probably laugh the whole thing off, though maybe he'd try and offer Magnus a mead.

That's all I got,

My take on the RWBY/40K idea. It’s not a ‘Jaune is a Lost Primarch’ that @guardsman-of-remnant or @the-wayward-arc have, or as thought out as @weatherman667 Astartes Chapters.

Juane was a normal guy who’s planet was destroyed. Then he decides to do something about it and potentially changes the course of the galaxy.

Jaune’s early life and world was dealt a bad hand. On a planet considered backwater, ruled over by incompetent lords, an over paranoid and self-righteous Inquisitor, continually and unrightfully drained of resources, repeatedly denied aid and due process, castigated for things beyond their control, and so on. Punished for ‘refusing to pay their tithe’ despite the fact they did pay the tithe but it was attacked by pirates. There was even a time when an enterprising farmer designed a better water pump, really all he did was find an older and better model and made more. Yet somehow the Mechanichum got wind of it and declared it Technoheresy. They destroyed every model and glassed a good swathe of the planet. Those are just a couple of many examples that Jaune was alive to experience. When everyday looks like hell, the Warp starts looking pretty good. Well between a Chaos uprising and a surprise Ork Waaah, alongside the possible threat of a Tyrranid fleet, the planet was declared hopeless and Exterminatus was ordered.

However instead of dying with the rest of the system’s population, Jaune was whisked away to another dimension. A pocket realm in-between the Materium and Immaterium. This realm was reined by a goddess yet not a goddess, who also sits in a weird in between with the materium and immaterium. Said goddess was an entity from another galaxy before the War in Heaven. She started off as just another galaxy conquering dragon, but after a few zillion years that got boring. Seeing the Old Ones and their creations she decided to observe. She’s got nothing but time, so why not? Over time she became loving, a gardener, a collector, a teacher. She doesn’t interfere with the Materium much because of her overwhelming power, and her control over the Immaterium is mostly spent keeping her corner of the galaxy protected from everything else. She’s pretty hands off and lets everyone else do their own thing, hence she didn’t take part in the War in Heaven. Or much else for that matter. She likes to watch the galaxy spin and all its different paths.

In her Library Jaune finds out the truth of the Horus Heresy, along with many other Heresies and major calamaties from alternate timelines that brought the Imperium to its knees and eventual demise. Horus Heresy, Robutian, Dornian, Lion, Erebrun, each and every Heresy and their potential variations. In a desperate bid to prevent these calamities, Jaune convinces his goddess to send himself and a motley collection of volunteers back in time to just before the Great Crusade. A Suicide Squad consisting of those that the Imperium would execute on the spot: Mutants, Abhumans, Heretics, Traitors, Xenos, Abominable Intelligence, and more. I’m sure Big E would get a laugh out of the irony.

Jaune knows that he can’t do half of what he wants to do. They can’t deal with anything big, like E’s journey into the Warp, the creation of the Primarchs and Astartes, the scattering of the Primarchs, the Great Crusade, etc. He can’t just go and tell the Emperor or Malcador about this. They won’t listen first off, and then they’ll just kill him for knowing too much, trying to play with things he has no business in, or just because Jaune refuses to kiss their asses.

He can’t just go out and pick up all the Primarchs and raise them like his own sons post-scattering. They’re scattered too far apart, their homeworlds need them in some fashion, the worlds are too big and dangerous to be looking for them, the Crew is always on the move which would be bad for their personal growth, each of them are too intelligent to not notice something’s different, they grow too fast for their limited resources, and more. Not to mention the unwanted attention they’d bring themselves from Chaos and Big E. That would spell doom in no time.

What they can do is use their knowledge of what happened and what could be to alter small yet key moments. A quick bombing run to eliminate the Butcher’s Nails factories, ensuring Corvus makes it to the surface, eliminating Kor Pheron, erasing Erebrus from the equation, keeping RG’s family alive from the deamon(Robutian Heresy story), warn and prepare several civilizations of what’s coming, plant a few bugs into each of the Primarchs’ flagships regarding certain orders, and more. These guys do not get a day off. They have to move in relative secrecy because who’s going to believe them? And those who may will likely have him killed for ‘interfering with the Emperor’s will’.

He’s met with relative success in his endeavors. Angron wasn’t implanted with the Butcher’s Nails, but with a different kind of device of similar purpose. This new set wouldn’t turn Angron’s brain to soup like the Butcher’s Nails did, this set gave him a form of split personality in the same way that Bruce Banner has with the Hulk. So Angron can be either the Stalwart Paladin type he was meant to be, or the Raging Barbarian type from canon. It’s a flip of the coin with him. Give the guy some more complexity than just rage rage rage.

It eventually comes to a point where he’s too far into the game to know what to do next. He’s changed too much to know the right call. The Primarchs are all gathered and conquering systems, so trying to do anything to them is out. Chaos has to know about his meddling by now, probably the Emperor as well. Despite the anti-aging tech, he's getting too old. His entire crew has fallen one by one. He’s the last man standing in this crusade.

Out of resources, options, ideas, allies, full of desperation, Jaune decides to throw one last Hail Mary. He calls in a favor from his Goddess, and through means that I haven’t decided on, gathers all the Primarchs in one room, locks the door, glues them to their seats, and lays it all out on them.*

He explains who he is, what his mission is, the nature and rise of Chaos, large parts of the Emperor’s plan, and all that. He tells them of all the potential futures, all the Heresies, the one where E decides to make Eye of Terror 2.0, one where all the Primarchs go balls to the wall mosh pit civil war, how each of them could/did fall, the War of Heaven, the Tyrranids, Necrons, Tau, many other subfactions, potential allies, those that would’ve been very helpful but were butchered, allies in one but not another, what E has done and his potential plans, their own half Warp entity souls, lots of history, lots of secrets exposed, what Jaune and crew have done, and so on.

He doesn’t hold anything back either. He rants on about how badly humanity has fallen, how logic and reason are replaced with fanaticism, progress with stagnation, the hypocrisy, the injustice, the stagnation and corruption of the Imperium, the bloated and rotting corpse of a once great civilization, the works. He even has a nice little partial Abominable Intelligence helping him out. It puts up all sorts of data, photos, videos, recordings, etc. to supplement Jaune’s rants. Just a little guy that gives intel like how Astartesanonymous, Majorkill, Isyanderandkoda, Livefromtheblacklibrary, Wes, and them give lore explanations.

 “But it’s only one guy who did a cute trick of keeping us in our seats and talks a lot, why should we believe him?” Sorry to do this to you Sanguinius, but he just casually drops the fact that your legion suffers from the Blood Thirst in front of everyone. The thing that you fought so hard to keep quiet from everyone and only a few even within your Legion knew about? Yeah that’ll get your attention, along with everyone else’s given how badly you react. Dropping a couple less dangerous secrets from the Lion’s assortment of secrets is also on the table. Pretty sure Alpharius wouldn’t mind getting pointed out as the actual first Primarch recovered, #sarcasm. He drops a little skeleton from each of their closets in front of everyone.

Suffice to say he isn’t going to be invited to any family cookouts after this.

He calls out each of them on their critical failures, dangerous shortcomings, hypocritical mindests, how easily they fell to Chaos, all the ways Papa E screwed up and is still screwing up, and more. All while calling them the stupid nicknames the Crew used. Mufasa, Simba, Long Johnson, for the Lion. Rowboat Girlyman, Bobby G, Robot Gorrillaman, for Robute. Fido, Balto, Scruffy, for Leman. And so on. He only calls them by their proper names once, at the very beginning when he was introducing himself and being respectful.

Is it smart to insult a room of the most powerful people in the galaxy and their daddy? Or talk down to them like the emotionally immature people they are? No. If it weren’t for the Goddess favor pinning them to their seats and disabling their gear and abilities he’d be dead and he knows that. They try to use their Primarch Aura on him, but after however long serving his Goddess he’s relatively immune to it. And he’s in such a IDGAF mindset that the most they get out of him is a raised eyebrow. It’d take one of the Chaos Gods’ or the Big E’s aura to really make him shake.

However pointing out flaws without a solution is just bitching. He gives credit where credit is due. He offers help and suggestions to a lot of their problems. He asks everyone to start appreciating Perty a little more, tells the Prophecy duo to get together and speak with some Farseers about their visions, commends the achievements of the Builder Brothers and ways to make their stuff even better, etc. He gives them self-help books, some psychiatric care books, and some insights from various sources to help out with some of their more human problems. God knows E isn’t helping them out with any of this.

Jaune had the foresight to make volumes of his findings. He drops many encyclopedias worth of books in front of them, all scaled up in size for their convenience. They hold everything. Names, dates, quotes, specifications, supply lines, blueprints, maps, numbers, persons of interest, items of interest, planets of interest, deamons of interest, xenos of interest, xenos that are beneficial to the galaxy and the Imperium, xenos that Leman can have fun exterminating, xenos that must be protected, xenos that can be uplifted, xenos that are up in the air, events that could happen, things that Jaune prevented from happening, nothing was left out. Not just books pertaining to the Primarchs and their dealing with Chaos, as both opponents and slaves to it, either. He also dumped books detailing events from the various futures for the next 10 millennia. Greatest victories, worst defeats, the breaking of the Legions, Successor Chapters, betrayals, redemptions, plots, plots within plots, the power of Faith, the detriments and benefits of groups like the Inquisition and Ecclesiarchy, the strength of character in Xenos races, and on and on and on. The Primarchs have quite a bit of reading to do.

Don’t worry Lemon Rush, you can still have your fun hunting down Xenos. Here’s a stack of books detailing all those filthy Xenos that are detrimental to the Imperium and galaxy at large! This lists where they are, what danger they pose, what their biology is, how best to kill them, and so on. Have fun!

Guilliman, here’s a stack for you regarding Xenos that are good guys that could use a hand. Vulcan, here’s a buncha worlds that could really use your more human touch. Horus, these worlds are major players so will be better won with your diplomacy. And so on.

So what is the Primarchs reaction? Do they accept the things he’s said? Do they bring this intelligence to the Emperor and Malcador? Do they take a hard look at themselves and decide to do better? Do they throw themselves at the feet of Chaos? Do they slow down the Crusade to better reinforce the reclaimed worlds? Do they help each other overcome their weaknesses and petty grievances so Chaos has less of a foothold on their souls? Do they exacerbate their flaws? Do they watch each other’s backs for Chaotic influence? Do they start training their Sons in Astartes vs Astartes combat? Astartes vs Chaos combat? Do they purge the corrupt members of their legions? Do they decide to eradicate the dangerous Xenos while uplifting the benevolent ones? Do they go hard in ways to better the Imperium? Do they become the mindless tools that E wanted them to be? Do they start to stand up to the Emperor and call him out on his shit when he needs it?

Jaune has no idea what they decided, or what any of their thoughts were. After he drops everything on them, gives them the books and AI, he walks out the door. His only thoughts were getting blackout drunk and working on the next step after the hangover. That particular conversation never left that room as far as he’s concerned or aware. He’s fully expecting any one of them to turn him into a red mist for his attitude, or a visit from the Banana Squad for a ‘chat’. He doesn’t even care what happens to him now.

He doesn’t even manage to find a bottle before he’s in trouble. He’s hit from the side, a mortal wound that kills slowly and painfully. However his attacker isn’t anyone from any branch of the Imperium. A deamon has been hunting him and his crew ever since he came back to the past. This is the thing that’s been orchestrating the deaths of his friends one by one. It’s very proud of its work and monologues like a cartoon villain. He just saved Jaune for last since he’s the leader. Something about helplessly watching as your friends are picked off as you can do nothing.

Taking this as confirmation that Jaune was doing the right thing he gets up for one last go. As noble as he is he can be a spiteful little shit, so he’s not going down without a fight. Jaune uses a single word of Enuncia to banish the demon, however his previous injuries and the power of the word kills him at the same time.

This is a good ending right? Did everything he could, gave those who hold the galaxy in their hands everything they need to keep things going right, gave a big middle finger to Chaos, the Emperor, and the demon, and died an unsung hero. Good place for retirement right?

However Jaune’s not done! The word quit doesn’t exist in his dictionary, especially when he knows that he was making a difference. Or was at least enough of a thorn in Chaos’ side to warrant a personal Demon after him. He reject’s his Goddess’ offer of a peaceful afterlife to go back for more. He’s a sucker for suffering sometimes. He crawls his way through the warp to be reborn in an Avatar type way. His DNA is identical, he holds the same kind soul and indomitable spirit, but he’s a fresh slate in everything else. The ‘current Jaune’ doesn’t know anything about the potential futures, his past lives, or any of that. The most that his original past self, the ‘original Jaune’, can do is subconsciously nudge him in what should be the right direction. Eventually the Demon, which I dub Little Timmy, comes back from the Warp to kill him again. To which Jaune’s original soul takes over in a sense, like how Ozma fights alongside his current host and body, and the two die in a draw yet again. Then he crawls back through the Warp to be reborn yet again, and so the cycle repeats.

Jaune does most everything during this series of cycles. Was an Astartes for each of the legions at least once even the Lost 2, guardsman, Commisar, Rouge trader, mechanicum, planetary lord, bounty hunter, Psyker, Blank, anything and everything as long as it wasn’t under E’s direct oversight like the Inquisition, Assassinorum, Custodes, and the like. Not to say he hasn’t tangoed with and against such organizations over the cycles.

Despite having the same face and dna, he’s missed completely by those in the know. Besides the fact his Goddess is blocking certain figures’ sight from recognizing him properly, think how just a piece of fabric over the eyes works for most heroes identities, he’s just one guy in trillions of trillions in that particular sector. They might have an idea of ‘that guy seems familiar’ in a déjà vu kind of way, but easily dismiss it. How common are blue eyed blonde dudes? The only confirmation that the Primarchs get that Jaune has been reborn again is during or after his fight with Little Timmy. Jaune leaves a message or calls them or whatever, and the original soul makes sure he calls them by one of the stupid nicknames from the chew out session. Who else would have the balls to call Ferrus Manus Tin Can Sam, or can tell the difference to know which TweedleTwin he’s talking to? Not like they can do much by the time/if they get the message, he died in the duel again. They’re lucky to find parts of his body from the fight. Little Timmy tends to desire a lot of collateral whenever possible, and Jaune isn’t always the roided up transhuman super soldier to trade blows so he has to get creative when he fights.

*As everyone else is stuck to their chairs, Jaune is standing on the table to look them in the eyes and move around easier. Also allows him to move close enough to the Primarchs to drop the reading material in front of them, but not close enough to be grabbed. It’s a funny image, but couldn’t find a spot where it would fit so here it is.

~

I have no idea where some of this should go, but I know that it should be a mess of things anyway because it’s 40K. As much as I don’t want any of the Primarchs taken by Chaos now that they have guidebooks on what to look out for and just how fucked that would be if they do, I can see a few of them falling anyway. Fulgrim for instance. I can see him taking the Laer Blade just to try and show Jaune that ‘Oh look, I guess you were wrong and I am strong enough to carry a demonic blade and not get corrupted!’ That’s the reason he talked down to you like a child, ya Purple Nurple! I love the idea of Snakegrim and Clonegrim duking it out, a duel of both loyalties and ideals. Although from what I hear from the various fangroups I’m in we probably won’t see that. Dangit GW. You’re missing a trunkful of easy money.

I’m not sure how the other Primarchs should be affected by Jaune’s meddling either. Angron was just an easy picking on how to change things up.
