Ax'ala nakiotl
Ethrion-
Atharius marches towards the kingmakyr. the great and terrible obelisk, the aethis machine that granted immense power to the ancient kavirath emperors, suffusing them with pure, immense energy. it had not been used in 4,000 years. but he was going to use it.
Surrounding him on the path was the vyzelrath war-host. gathered and ready for brutal combat. Their armor was aggressive, angular, and built for war, but still possessed the vyzelrath elegance and design philosophy. it was a far cry from the Mk 2 nanosuits of the past- for this was not the age nor time of elegance. their weapons were advanced and sleek but were capable of horrifically brutal work. vehicles stood on the path's sidelines- inert, but primed for conflict.
He entered the kingmakyr. he was asked if he was sure he wanted to do this- he replied-
"I am willing to suffer any wound for my people"
Strange aethis devices attached themselves to his hands. he had felt a similar feeling- of the containment tendrils used by maelstrom. but this he could accept. he knew full well what he was about to do.
the machine spoke in a godly voice, as if the ghost of some death-deity haunted it's halls.
"NEW ENERGY SIGNATURE FOUND. ENERGY SIGNATURE ACCEPTED. ENERGY CHARGING"
By default, the machine used pure energy, but with some modification, it could produce pariah energy.
The great crystal on the ceiling crackled with black-and-white lightning. it's energy struck down like a wrathful god, striking atharius with the force of a billion thunderbolts. Atharius was knocked to the floor, digging his claws against the aethite floor. the agony lasted for several minutes, but atharius endured. he would see this through. it melted through his nanosuit- nothing left beyond the small implant he had gotten to link to his code-brother. there was a great flash, and a storm of smoke.
Then the smoke was cleared.
Atharius rose from the floor. the burns were cleansed from his body- along with much more. every little physical imperfection he had was singed away. his physicality was enhanced as well, growing to a proper 10 feet tall, along with added muscularity. he felt... unchained. like there was some sort of limiter that had just been broken, that he could see beyond some sort of fog that had shrouded his previous eyes. his aethis arm was still there, but it seemed to be supercharged as well.
It did not take long for him to be primed for action. a drone flew down, delivering a metallic aethite disk. it implanted itself into his back, before seeming to expand, releasing parts that assembled themselves into a powerful set of aethite armor. two large aethite wings burst from the back of his chestplate, forming hardlight between their parts and leaving behind a trail of glowing energy. he did retract them- they were not needed now. he was quite excited about the suit, having all sorts of new bells and whistles for him. but that was unimportant
He marched forth, to the gathered vyzelrath masses. he spoke-
"The collective, once our allies in U-AEON, have betrayed us! this betrayal will not stand, so long as my hearts beat! as we speak, they rain abominations on our allies worlds! will we let this stand?!"
"KAATH!" (vyzelrath word for No!)
"And will we fight?! fight with the powers bestowed upon us by the smiths and the scholars?!"
"VAATH!" (Vyzelrath word for yes!)
"It is time to show the tyranid scum what real apex predators look like! Ax'ala nakiotl!"
"AX'ALA NAKIOTL!"
