===Emperor's Children Perspective===
{{Topquote|Horus has seen the truth of things, my brother. The Emperor has already abandoned us and even now plots his apotheosis. He lied to us all, Ferrus. We were nothing more than tools to win back the galaxy in preparations his ascension! The perfect being he pretended to be was a filthy lie!|Fulgrim's first attempt to sway Ferrus Manus to [[Chaos]].}}

Fulgrim was massively disappointed and depressed that Ferrus Manus would not be swayed to Horus's side and that he would be forced to die (Horus's own words). By failing to convert his ugly bro in his own flagship, Fulgrim knocked Ferrus out with a hammer blow to the jaw that would have sent an Astartes head flying for a mile, and fled into the Warp to deliver the bad news to Horus.

Shortly thereafter the transformation of the Emperor's Children into the metal-and-shoegaze-loving Noise Marines that we know and love was completed, both chaotically and genetically. [[Fabius Bile|Fabulous Bile]] made sure to add a ton of physical and genetic alterations to his brothers, like speed enhancements and the ability to produce ear-shattering, bone-breaking sonic waves by opening the mouth a little too wide, flailing ones arms in circles and generally looking like a skinned bear recently castrated without anaesthesia.

''In the center of the traitor line, the Emperor's Children fought with unremitting cruelty, its warriors howling with savage glee as they killed their former brothers. Unnatural horrors of mutilations and degradation were visited upon the living and the dead as Fulgrim's Legion repulsed every attack. Bizarrely clad warriors in Mark IV plate draped in stretched skin cavorted in the midst of the deadliest combats, fighting without helmets, their jaws wired open as they unleashed a hideous screaming. They bore unknown weaponry and fired echoing blasts of atonal harmonics that ripped bloody canyons in the massed ranks of the Iron Hands. Great pipes and loudspeakers fixed to their armour amplified the screaming vibrations of their killing music, and deafening sound waves tore apart warriors and armored vehicles.''

Lastly, in the ending moments of the battle, Fulgrim chose to reveal himself and meet the Gorgon's challenge. The duel that took place next was incredible in its emotional proportions and significance, so go and read the fifth HH book, "Fulgrim". It's an [[awesome]] read. Spoiler: Fulgrim attempted to resist the Laer Sword which had ultimately corrupted him one last time by pulling the mortal blow on his bro Ferrus, regaining a last moment of clarity when seeing what had become of his legion. The Greater daemon in the Sword took no chances by forcing Fulgrim into killing his BFF Ferrus and then giving him the oblivion he craved following the murder ([[Troll|by possessing his body, of course]]).
