Prologue
Universe - 306 (Chaos Calendar: 008.M31)
The voices of the warp are seductive and alluring, promising gifts of power beyond measure for those that follow the dark gods. Even the strongest of men can succumb to the whispers of the warp.
"What is this place!" -the man looks around and sees a distorted plane of existence.
Standing on a white glazing floor, the Roman soldier looks in front of him and sees FOUR spirits which began to circle him
"This is the Immaterium, mortal," -the blue spirit spoke as it cast a spell on the mortal, illuminating his head and giving him small tidbits of lost knowledge
Though experiencing an event that would cause most mortals to tremble in fear, the Roman stood still.
"EXCELLENT! THIS ONE IS TRULY BRAVE AND STRONG!" -the red spirit cast its on spell, covering the human's right arm in an intense red aura
With his red fist he punched the ground and noticed the shockwaves emitted throughout the floor.
"What do you want from me?" -The man touches the green spirit
The strange pain causes the mortal to reel back, as the pain intensify and spread throughout his body. Still however, the Roman soldier stands hoping the pain would dissipate.
"Interesting" - the green spirit casts a spell, causing the mortal's pain to subside - "you have impress me, even though you wrongly relied on your hope to continue resisting the pain."
As the mortal slowly stands up the fourth spirit, glowing in a pink hue, showered him with magical particles which removed all the scars from his body and lighten his skin.
"Now... there is a true champion of Chaos!" The pink spirit tries to lick the Roman soldier much to his chagrin
"CAN YOU STOP!" said by the Roman
"YEAH SLANEESH! ENOUGH WITH YOUR HONOURLESS ACTS!" the red spirit charges the pink spirit causing them to fight
"Anyway -" the blue spirit comes closer "- we have seen the glory you will carve out in the name of your country... and we are SOOOOO sad that it was all for naught"
"The great lifestyle... that your empire has created... will be replaced with copycats that lack the respect for life, honor, sanctity and... family," the green spirit said much to the horror
"But there is hope for your country! Serve us and you will have more power and glory that you can even imagined!"
The mortal, having a unusually strong will, realizes that any bargain with these deities will have consequences. He thinks about everything and everyone he cared about. For he knows that the burden of his decision would fall on his family and his country.
"Why worry about the consequences? What else is there to lose when compared to the fall of Rome?
The two spirits stop their fighting and join their group.
"Awwwh... our greatest champion comes to great you." said by the pink spirit
"FINALLY YOU'VE SHOWED UP! DO YOU REALIZE HOW IDIOTIC AND DISHONORABLE IT IS TO GIVE ME SUCH A CHILDISH ROLE!!!" --the red spirit flies up to the glowing silhouette, staring it with such fiery rage
The Roman Emperor looks on with much confusion.
"Relax Khrone, you have spoiled the deception to your new champion."
"Deception?"
"Indeed, you are only seeing an illusion and a fraction of their... single-minded personalities."
"You've broken your Grandpa Nurgle's heart!" said by the green spirit
"I merely made it easier for you to relax in the presence of the TRUE gods. Their true form and personalities can be... maddening," said by the silhouette as it walk closer to Constantine
"Even with the deception revealed it doesn't change anything," said by the blue spirit
The Roman cowers in fear realizing that he is trapped metaphorically.
"Tzeentch is right, we have foreseen you future and it is very... very bad."
"No..."
The five beings walk in circles around
(Ominous Latin/High Gothic Chanting)
Memories of the life he would had have are being played in his mind.
"The barbarians come from the east and slaughter you fellow Romans like cattle," said by Khrone
"No."
"You family tears itself asunder and deceives you into KILLING you son!" said by Nurgle
"NO!"
"The children of the cross, which you supported tear the empire in half! Forcing Roman to fight Roman and shedding their kin's blood," said by Tzeentch
"NOOooo... stop!"
"Did we forget the part where your successors end becoming hedonistic sex addicts!" said by Slaanesh
"AAARRGGHHH!!!"
"And most of all, your precious Rome would tumble down into nothingness and all its legacy scattered into the winds! said by Chaos Emperor Nero
"NOOOO!!!"
As the chanting increased in pace, another voice pierce the maelstrom of sounds and brought the Roman back to reality.
"My lord, it is time to wake up." said the psyker advisor
"NOOOOO!!!" said the Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great, as he opens his eyes
"My lord, Is there something troubling you?"
The Daemon Prince paused for a moment before he answered. "Nothing... its just a dream."
"May I asked of what my lord?"
"The beginning of the path... to my ascension."
Time: 011.M31 or AD 309
New ranks in the Forces of Chaos:
Chaos Overlord-a rank higher than Chaos Lord and the first rank of all Daemon Princes. Similar to a Necron Overlord, they command several Chaos Lords under them. Human and Xeno champions that have reached this position are only one step from daemonic ascension! A Daemon Prince with this rank only controls one daemon world though he or she may control other planets as well.
Daemon King-Second rank of all Daemon Princes. These high-ranking Daemon Princes control an entire system of daemonically corrupted planets.
Daemon Emperor-Third and final rank for the Daemon Princes. The pinnacle of control; these Daemon Princes can control an entire sub-sector’s worth of daemon worlds!
Waking up in sweat, Princess Celestia is feeling a strange vibe. For she knows that the beginning of the end has come!
On the Daemon World of New Monarchia, a Dark Apostle from the Word Bearers Legion preaches to a crowd of peasants.
"He saw the light of truth, the warp-giving light of the Primordial Gods and with it the salvation of his own people!"
"With the holy light he had reforged a broken nation anew and brought all the barbarian tribes to heel as they witness the failure to accept the Primordial Truth!"
Roman Emperor Constantine disbands the tetrarchy and makes himself absolute ruler of the Roman Empire.
"With the holy light he had cleansed his empire of the heathens of the Cross and showed his fellow people the truth of the warp!"
The Roman Chaos Lord destroyed all the churches and converted any Christian that resisted his rule as cannon fodder for dark spells.
"And with the Primordial Light he had brought his world into the glorious space of the warp!"
After subjugating or exterminating all that opposed his empire, Roman Emperor Constantine elevates to Daemonhood and transforms his world into a Daemon World.
Moblization
Despite all that he done to conquer both his own homeworld and the world of “Ice and Fire,” this next conquest would prove to be the hardest challenge he will ever face.
Walking side by side with Vorpal, his sorcerer and advisor, Roman Emperor Constantine discusses with him invasion plans for another universe.
“You have found it?” asked Daemon Prince Constantine
“Indeed my lord. Our cult has spread the true word of Chaos to the indigenous population. Though they lack any technological capability, their use of magic and flight may prove to be… problematic.”
“But the world does meet the requirements?”
“Yes, the world naturally has a warp field truly capable of transporting entire armies from one universe to another.”
“What is the current strength of our glorious armies?”
“Well sire, our army currently stands on twenty legions. Each legion numbers between forty thousand to over one million strong sire.”
The Legions of Rome are assembling outside the Imperial Palace for some important event. Hundreds of thousands of men march alongside their Land Raider tanks and Whirlwind artillery. Thousands of auxiliaries also assembled for this special event.
Despite being a Daemon Prince, the Roman Emperor retains his human form. Both Constantine and the Chosen Emperor are members of a second wave of mortals that ascended to daemonhood. To stay in a warp-less area for long period, these daemon princes have two different forms. The daemon prince can transformed into daemon form, but forces him to enter the warp to heal and recover his energy reserves.
“And what is the current status of our navy?”
“We only have one ship, the battleship Romulus stands ready for warp jump.”
Battlebarge Romulus. One of the first new battleships made after the Horus Heresy. Despite being obsolete, it is still a formidable spaceship. Combining human, demonic, and xeno technologies, this ship is a stepping-stone towards the development of a new powerful navy for the forces of Chaos!
“It’s… only been three years since I have pledged myself to the Primordial Gods.”
“Indeed, yet so much change in both our world and the entirety of the Chaos Imperium.”
The Horus Heresy and the fall of the Imperium of Man have rapidly swelled the forces of Chaos. Once their ‘curse’ was lifted, the Dark Eldar simply became another pawn for the Ruinous Powers to use, killing or converting their kin for Chaos.
The Orks who normally are too simple minded to be pawns of the Chaos Gods fell to the machinations of Emperor Nero. Even though the orks would only follow the strongest Warboss, nobody said that the Warboss has to be an Ork. Emperor Nero simply proclaimed himself Master of the Warbosses and simply killed all those that challenge his rule over the orks. Since none can match the brutality and cunning of the Chaos Emperor, the Black Legion’s leash on the Chaos Orks has never been broken. The Lost and the Damned features a large portion of the Orks as their meatshields.
The Tyranids and Necrons resisted the Chaos onslaught but are rapidly dwindling in number. Special biological weapons tainted with daemonic blood have infected a huge portion of the known Tyranid horde, causing some of the Hive fleets to splinter off and join the Chaos Imperium.
The Necrons were more difficult to sway towards the cause of Chaos but the foul Emperor of Chaos found the one true weakness of the Necrontyr.
The Necron dynasties, which rule over the Necrons since overthrowing their C’tan overlords, are disunited in both spirit and form. It was simple enough to drive the wedge between the dynasties much deeper but the diabolical mind of Nero thought of a more insidious plan to corruption the former soldiers of the Star Gods.
Using black magic and dark science, the most smartest and diabolical minds of the Dark Imperium found a way to convert the Necrons were reborn back into the Necrontyr race. Now no longer metallic husk, but retaining all their deathlike power, these beings now serves as some of the toughest and most dangerous soldiers in the Chaos Imperium.
Under the Chaos Imperium, Nero discovered the Tau xeno. This short live race was assigned tutelage and protection of the Dark Mechanicum. The Tau quickly advances the technological prowess of the Dark Mechanicum to new heights. Slowly but surely, the Chaos Imperium will reclaim the lost knowledge of the Dark Age of Technology and will conquer the MULTIVERSE!!!
Abaddon’s Sons of Horus, along with elements from the Word Bearers, Alpha Legion and Night Lords swiftly and brutally conquered the Star Wars universe in the 1st Dark Crusade. (Three months after this version of the Horus Heresy)
Perturabo’s Iron Warriors along with elements of the World Eaters and Angels of Bloodshed ‘assisted’ the Dark Lord Morgoth in his enslavement of Arda. (Middle Earth)
The Sons of Malal, the Chaos God of Destruction and Anarchy, invaded the FTL universe, turning it into an utter hellhole.
Several other universes have fallen under the sway of Chaos, bolstering the minions of the Dark Gods to severe proportions!
However, the conquest of other universes proved to be slow and very dangerous. Warp travel to another universe proved to be time consuming and unpredictable. Most of the time the majority invading force would be stranded light years away from the main force, wasting time regrouping and allowing some of their prey to escape. Even in their own universe, they have failed to eradicate their enemies. Before his death, Primarch Corax rallied all those that resisted the forces of Chaos into exile, causing much grief for the Chaos Imperium.
Rome the capital itself was assaulted by the White Templars, the last remnants of Guardsmen and Astartes that were still loyal to the ideals of the Imperium of Man.
“I will personally lead the assault on this pathetic planet myself. I bring with me six of our finest legions!”
Chosen of Rome Strikeforce:
Four million Legionnaires
Forty thousand Champions (wearing Power Armor)
Eight hundred thousand Sentinels
One million bikes
Three thousand Land Raider Obliterators
Four hundred thousand Whirlwinds
???
Special Auxiliaries
(Classified Information)
Vorpal opened the door for his master. The Roman Emperor walks out to meet his soldiers. The entirety of the Roman army awaits the word of their emperor.
“Men of our glorious Empire! For time and time again, our powerful nation of Rome has to ponder the ultimate question for the ultimate empire. Have we done all that we could to raise the glory of Rome to new heights?”
“NO!”
“Time and time again we are assaulted by filth that dare tarnish the work we have done in the name of Rome and our glorious Gods! Do we bow down to the transgression of our enemy or see their souls burn in the blood pits of Khrone?”
“BURN THE HERETICS!!!”
“Have we fellow Romans shed enough blood and tears in the name of Chaos?”
“NEVER!!!”
“Then... we shall world after world... until the enemies of CHAOS ARE NO MORE!!!”
The Emperor’s speech has energized the will of his troops. Their morale unbreakable and their zeal rivaled only by the most fanatical of the Word Bearers. The Chosen of Rome will fight and die ‘till the end of Rome itself.
Chaos Roman Emperor Constantine and the Chosen of Rome board the flagship. The ship is regularly updated since ending up in the hands of Rome a year ago. The Battlebarge has more than enough weaponry to obliterate three of the rebels’ most powerful battleships!
Meanwhile in the Crystal Empire…
“So… you can give ME a new body?” said an ethereal black cloud of smoke
The dark Spirit of King Sombra meets the leader of the Chaos cult within the Crystal City. The local population, isolated from the world, was easily subverted by the preaching of the cult.
“Of course! Anything is possible with the power of the Dark Gods!” said the Cult Champion (Think of the cultist’s voice in Dawn of War I)
“Hmm… what is it that you want?”
“We are always looking more people that are… capable of seeing the Primordial Truth. The victory of our gods cannot be stopped… only delayed. Join us in subjugating this world and you will have power that would pale in comparison!”
Agreeing to the cult leader’s proposition, King Sombra’s spirit possesses a Pony version of a dreadnought. As the dark rites embedded on its metallic skin activate, the dark lord feels a surge of power overflowing him.
“Yes! YESSSS!!! With this power, I can enact my revenge against those petty princesses! LET EQUESTRIA BURN!!! HA! HA! HA! HAHAHA…”
Meanwhile on the planet Terra, capitol of the Chaos Imperium…
“Ah… what a glorious day it is for the Dark Gods…” said by Nero, Chosen Emperor of Chaos
The Chosen One admires his beautiful armor and mask, carefully created by the Primordial Gods themselves before he initiated the Horus Heresy alongside Horus and Lorgar.
“How the great have fallen. Truly the shock in False Emperor’s face in seeing my armor is… enjoying.”
Indeed, Nero’s armor is a perversion of what the God-Emperor wore.
Sitting in the Dark Throne, the de factor ruler of the Chaos Imperium smiles at the ignorance of… well everyone:
• The ignorance of the Alliance of Light as they rushed to the defense of Equestria, where they would meet their end,
• The ignorance of the Chosen of Rome for not realizing that they are simply the bait for the slaughter,
• Finally, the ignorance of the Chaos Gods for giving him full command over their forces thus allowing him to wage his war against the multiverse itself!
The Dark Emperor giggle under his mask for the great tragedy that he would befall on all!
Invasion
011.M31: One week later
It has been almost a year since the Roman Emperor Constantine had set foot in another world. The world of Ice and Fire proved to be easy prey for the Daemon Prince and his Roman Legions. The Doom of Valyria, the calamitous destruction of the Valyrian homeland had scattered them to the winds. Their dragons almost endangered and their people left with almost nothing.
The typical response the indigenous people would receive from a Chaos warlord is nothing more than sheer brutal conquest. Excited at an easy prey to kill and subjugated for their Dark Gods, a champion of chaos would show little mercy to the natives.
Yet, the pragmatic Roman Emperor did not choose that route. By taking the risk of helping the Valyrian people, the Roman Empire acquire the knowledge to produce Valyrian steel which proved to be a boon to the Chaos Imperium. Such magical-resisting material never seen before made the Romans wealthy enough to modernize their entire army.
After dealing with a few petty lords, such as House Targaryen, the world was assimilated into the Roman Empire. However, Constantine was not powerful enough to control two daemon worlds so the world did not undergo transformation. The Dark Mechanicum has established an industrial center on the planet to process as much of this steel for their Titans.
With the massive amount of men and goods from the world, the Roman Empire became the envy of many of the diverse armies of the Chaos Imperium. Such momentum keeps the Roman Empire going in their quest to conquer more worlds for Rome and the Chaos Gods. Moreover, what could be more glorious than spreading the reach of Chaos farther than ever before!
“Such a pity that the warp can’t provide transportation equal to the quality of the Chaos Armies,” The Daemon Prince said
Warp travel in the past proved to be dangerous and unstable in many ways. Fortunate for the Chosen of Rome, the Chaos Imperium has done much to improve both the capabilities of warp engines and the completion of newer Web-way tunnels.
In his seat, the Daemon Prince can hear the loud noises of daemons clinging to his ship.
“It seems we have… stowaways my lord?” said by the sorcerer Vorpal
Hundreds of thousands of lesser daemons are clinging onto the ship, not to slaughter the crew inside it, but to join them to the slaughter that is to come. The Romulus had been ‘blessed’ by the warp giving it warp powers and allowing daemons to exist within its radius.
“Fortunately for us, we have been giving permission by the Chosen Emperor himself, otherwise… the creatures of the warp would eviscerate us just as we enter the Immaterium,” said by the Roman Emperor
“Before we exit the warp, we should discuss the overall strategy,” said by Vorpal as he turns on a holographic screen
“We have three commanders from which we will deploy across the frontline,” Vorpal changes the image to one of the commanders
“The Centurion Julius Augustus is the most direct of our commanders. A squad of Vanguard Legionnaires in battle always accompanies him. Only he is authorize to deploy Varangian Guard squads,” –the image shows Julius cleaving a German barbarian in half during the pacification of Germania
“He knows how to get the job done. He has always proved loyal and effective in battle. Send him to take the path of most resistance,” –the Daemon Prince drank another glass of Essos champagne
After taking a drink of Westeros brandy, Vorpal shows the next commander.
“Akiba Shinrikyo, aspiring champion and leader of the Cult of the Blade. His command squad is composed of rogue psyker. His special unit is the Savage Marauder,” said Vorpal in his description of the commander
The image shows Akiba surrounded by several Chinese soldiers. Suddenly, the majority of the soldiers turns on their brothers and decapitates them for the dark gods!
“I’ve always know him as the master of stealth and subterfuge in our army, even though he is a foreigner. As always he should be behind enemy lines subverting elements of the enemy army…”
Constantine stops his sentence, noticing something is different in the warp.
“He is already planetside.”
“The blessings of daemonhood are truly useful my lord. Yes, he has already installed our cult throughout the entire world. Hundreds of thousands of cultist are ready to rebel in your name.”
Two months earlier, somewhere in Ponyville:
“Finally, school is almost over,” said by Scootaloo
“Yeah Scootaloo we should go straight to our treehouse!” said by Sweetie Belle
“We’ve got to continue finding our Cutie Marks!” said by Applebloom
(All three fillies said in unison) “Cutie Mark Crusaders!”
Filled with energy and excitement, the trio ran towards their destination, only to bump into somebody else.
“Argh!” –the robed pony fell backwards onto the ground
“Oh no!” said by Sweetie Belle
The CMC helped the stranger get up.
“Well… thank you young children,” said by unicorn stallion, “I am unharmed.”
The fillies sigh with relief. However, the stranger kept looking at Scootaloo, more precisely her wings.
“We’re really sorry mister,” said by Applebloom
“It is ok. I actually have some business with you pegasus,” said the stranger
“Huh, why me?” asked Scootaloo
“Well simply, I am part of a research group finding ways to help ponies with… special needs,”
Hearing those words filled the young pegasi with hope. “You can fix my wings!” Scootaloo said with a big smile on her face
The other fillies look on with curiosity at this turn of events. In the back of his mind, the stranger smiles at this series of events, he had done well in pleasing Akiba and the Dark Gods with this special conversion.
Back to the flagship Romulus
“Are you going to ignore our third commander? He would be very sad if you do,” asked Constantine
“Fortunately for him, he is the most memorable out of the three. Diehard Longshot, engineer and assassin. He works alone, dual wielding long-hell sniper rifles while using his psyker gifts to support our vehicles!” said by Vorpal
“Still can’t believe it?”
“Yes, that person truly is gifted by the gods,” –the sorcerer stops to take a breather “He is capable of keeping our warp-blessed machines afloat amassed a sea of death of destruction!”
Images show Longshot fighting during the campaign against Hive Fleet Medusa on the planet Xana V. While walk forward in style, he eliminates several smaller Tyranids with his sniper rifles. Once done he uses his psychic abilities to fix a Rapier siege gun. As the crew readies to fire another volley, the Chaos Champion imbues the shells with his power.
(WHOOSH!!!)
Each shell flew farther and exploded with the power of a plasma bomb, incinerating a huge portion of the bigger Tyranid bio-forms. With their sudden death came the sudden change in momentum as billions of Chaos Orks and Daemons charge the Tyranid lines. Victory there eventually led to the eradication of Tyranids within the Hellborn sector and expanded the territories of Ultima Segmentum deep into unknown space.
"I believe he should be attach to the 3rd Legion or 6th Legion," said by Vorpal
“Well the pieces are set. All we have to do is wait,” –The Roman Emperor takes another sip and smiles at the thought of the glorious battles to come
The Romulus exits warp space and into the local space of the planet Equestria. A few dozen of the drop pods fall towards the moon. There they prepare to build massive fortifications and dark temples to please the Ruinous Powers.
A much larger swarm of drop pods, in the hundreds of thousands, descends upon the planet in three spots:
• The majority of the Roman forces would drop onto the Principality of Equestria, converge onto its two coastlines
• A second strikeforce would assault the Kingdom of Gryphonne, splitting between the capital and the complex of urban cities onto the east
• The smallest force would crash into Africa, home of the Zebra tribes
Meanwhile… on another universe
"Whoa!" --The angel Pit covers his eyes as a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him
"Argh!" The young angel is overwhelm by the light as it sends him far away into a place foreign for all
Interlude: Power Armor Advancement
Power armor, the iconic armor that separates the denizens of humanity from the various races that inhabit the Wh30k universe, much less the entire multiverse!
When Chaos Emperor Nero and Warmaster Horus swayed the majority of the Mechanicus’ Forgeworlds to Chaos, the Emperor sought to integrate lost technology onto the Astartes power armor to give their forces the edge against the loyalist. Through research and the dissemination of old, STC templates from the Dark Age of technology new and terrifying forms of armor began to reach the hands of the children of Chaos!
Mark V “Chaos” Armor
From the beginning of the Horus Heresy to its dramatic end, the dark science pursued by Nero had a decisive effect. Production of this Power Armor variant started before the 'Massacre' at Prospero. This variant of Power Armor always comes with a small combat shield that can be used alongside a weapon.
Mark VI “Primordial” Armor
The Pinnacle of Astartes armor, the Mark VI was queued into production after the Fall of Terra, but before the first Dark Crusade against the Star Wars galaxy. This suit proved tougher, cheaper, and truly the most innovative design created by Nero's Dark Mechanicum. Doubling the survival rate of the Chaos Astartes, the ‘Primordial’ Armor ensured the dominance of the Chaos Space Marines much to the jealousy and chagrin of their loyal counterparts whom have to deal with inferior armor in battle. Jetpacks and powered-chainsword hybrid weapons are standard assets of this variant.
Centurion Armor
A nightmarish design by Chosen Emperor Nero himself, derive from one of the various STC templates he has somehow acquire, the size of this machine of war towers even an Astartes wearing the venerable Terminator armor. Imperial forces first battled these nightmarish troops during the Fall of Terra.
By the end of the Scouring, in which the surviving Eldar and Imperial remnants were banished from the Wh30k universe, the forces of Chaos have increased over a hundred fold! If the forces of Chaos are not stopped soon, the multiverse will be engulf in a sea of death and misery, and the Chaos Gods would have absolute control over the entirety of it!
Vision and Tradegy
“So much snow today!” Twilight puts her hooves in the air
It’s been the third day of Twilight Sparkle’s vacation at Vanhoover city. The archmage of the city invited her to give a speech for a club of unicorn students. Twilight and her parents walk through the city’s plaza straight for Vanhoover’s school, little fillies play in the snow while their parents drink their assortment of hot drinks.
“Wow Twilight dear,” said her mother, “I say we are really proud of you!”
“Oh… it’s nothing!” said Twilight
“Don’t be so humble, this is one of the few things that makes more excited than watching the Equestrian games,” said her father
The three ponies made it to the school’s podium. There hundreds of unicorns younger than her are eager to hear her speech. While Twilight’s parents take their seats, she is greeted by the archmage as she walks towards the stand.
“It’s so good to finally meet you in person, Miss Twilight!” said the archmage as he bow down in reverence
“The pleasure is all mine Archmage Starwhirl the Sigillite!”
Star Whirl the Sigillite, distant relative of the famous Star Swirl the Bearded, walks to the side of the stand. The unicorn students whisper amongst each other as they wait for Twilight to begin.
“Hello my fellow ponies, it’s a great day to be here in your beautiful city,” said Twilight as she began her speech
Suddenly, her vision is twisted into a nightmarish world.
“Oh no, somepony help me!”
Going through this traversal nightmare at hyperactive speed, visions of death and misery flash through her mind.
The trail ended with the site of a dying man, chained to a throne. Despite looking like a skeleton, the person is somehow still alive, due to his constant screaming.
“What the hell is going on!” shouted Twilight
“I am contacting you… to warn you of the impending doom,” said the imprisoned one
“What do you mean… argh!” said Twilight as another jolt of electrocution riddled the stranger with pain!
“(Psychic screams of pain!!!!!! Followed by breathing) Listen to me, my people no longer… has their humanity, their will to live on their own and follow… gods of dark and terrifying power… ARGH!!!”
“Twilight!” said her mother as she tries to shake her out of her dreams
“Wha… What?”
“You eyes have gone cold for a while on us dear," said Twilight's father
Distinct shouts and screams can be heard coming from outside the city.
The school is located quite near the border of the city. It would be easy to hear all the commotion happening. Unfortunately, for the Element Bearer, the commotion is coming to her direction! Twilight sees a group of ponies running away from something very big.
“Run for your lives!” said a stallion
The stallion was riddle with bullets, his dead body spewing blood, turning the white snow red.
“Oh my god!” said a female unicorn as she fainted
Three mechanical monstrosities are assaulting the city. These crab-like machines have a mortar and machine gun in its chest, while its claws can spew a steady stream of unholy fire. Flesh, wood and even steel melts away as if they were like butter. Hundreds die within minutes. Resistance is futile as the beasts are impervious to all forms of pony weaponry. Even cannons and high-level spells only leave dents in its armor, which regenerate back into shape.
“Everybody run!” said Star Whirl the Sigillite as everyone joins the massive horde of civilians escaping this hellish nightmare!
The crowd runs in fear only to find their way block by ponies... running the other way.
"Oomph (Twilight Sparkle's group is stopped by the ponies in from of them)
"Why the hell are we stopping!" said by Starwhirl
"They are also coming from this side!"
Twilight manages to get a view of the second group of invaders
"No way! The enemy are ponies!"
Stuck in the plaza, the civilians see the two forces surrounding them; the machines on one end and the ponies on the other.
The horde of ponies truly wear a disgusting sight, wearing scavenged armor adorned with outright demonic symbols. These dark ponies carry two banners. One banner, bearing an eight-pointed star is foreign to the Equestrian mind. The other banner on the other hand…
“It can’t be,” said Starwhirl the Bearded as he casts a shield over him and Twilight
“What is wrong?” asked Twilight as she fires another laser at the horde of cultist
“That flag… it’s the banner of the Crystal Empire!”
Just as he said those words, the sky darkens, the very earth shook, and black mist began to pour into the city. Twilight and the ponies like her stared in fear as the dark mist coagulate and form a mechanical pony the size of a giant!
The giant mechanical pony said, “(Evil Laugh) I am King Sombra, I have returned to wreak havoc once more!”
Interlude 2: Corruption of the Eldar
"Hello ladies and gents! It is I, Nero, Emperor of Chaos and de facto commander of the entirety of the Legions of CHAOS!!!”
“Well, not exactly! You see I only control… the Dark Mechanicum, the Black Legion and its Black Knights, the Chaos Guard, the Chaos Orks of Chardon, The Chaos Tau, the Chaos Necrontyr of Kronus, and the Chaos Eldar warband, Excessive Violence. While it’s not the entire roster my armies are still capable of going genocidal on your ass!”
“Speaking of which, I am talking you miserable mongrels on how I acquire some Eldar servants!”
First off, it was fucking warping hard! Wait… just to emphasize I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THOSE DARK ELDAR FUCKS!!! THEY KEEP STEALING MY TROOPS FOR THEIR VOYAGES OF ‘FUN’ IN THE MULTIVERSE!!!
THAT Asdrubael Vect FUCKER lets his pathetic underlings steal as many of my Chaos Guard Regiments as possible! I have lost more men to these Dark Fucks than the Rebel Orks and Necrons combined! Nevertheless, their efforts are merely an annoyance, for every one of my weak and pathetic regiments they take; a HUNDRED MILLION MORE… stand ready to take their place!
Oh crap, rambling too much anyway back to the Craftworld Eldar. It all started with Craftworld Alaitoc, the strictest of the Eldar craftworlds. They have a higher proportion of Exarchs, but also lots of rangers and pirates. Anyway, long story short I used my Orks as bait, they get their stupid asses slaughtered, while Illic Nightspear (I assume he lived through the Horus Heresy and is as old as Eldrad Ulthran is) rallies the various ranger and pirate groups to victory. This was the first battle where I deployed my special Daemon Engines, such as the Wraithdread and the Forgewraith.
There you go folks! How I, because I’m so smart, ‘persuaded’ the Eldar back into the fold of Chaos! And for all you Wh40k fanboys out there, yes IT IS FUCKING POSSIBLE!!! It just take someone, like little badass me, that has detailed knowledge of the multiverse to do it! Oh yeah not coming from this fucked up Universe does count. Seriously, these guys are the big daddies of the loco party!
First Battle of Detroit
Somewhere within the Equestria city of Detroit, a flash of light appeared out of nowhere.
“Woahh!” Pit struggled to regain his balance
When it disappeared, the young angel found himself in a different world.
“Where am I?” asked Pit
The angel champion looked around and saw a city made of metallic buildings that reached the sky. Pit walk out of the side street and into the sidewalk.
“Mommy, look!”
Pit looks at the inhabitants, and it’s clear they are unrelated to his people or any humanoid for that matter!
“Sorry stranger, we’re in a hurry!” The mare grabs her daughter and quickly fled the scene, much to the confusion of the young angel
Pit could hear fighting going on at a certain direction
“Somebody help us!”
Hundreds of thousands of civilian ponies are running away as a few of their brethren, wearing dark robes and using strange weapons, kill anything on sight.
“For the dark gods, kill them, KILL THEM ALL!!!”
“(Pit puts his hands in his mouth) I might get sick!” said Pit as he sees innocent ponies being gunned down
Laughter, just plain insane laughter, comes out of these insane ponies as they stop their insane massacre. Hiding behind some rubble, Pit thought about the unbelievable mess he is in.
“I’m definitely in a nightmare!” Pit thought
One of the dozen crazed ponies pulls out a little filly while another cultist pony draws out a knife, inscribed with several markings. Even to the young angel, it is clear what is going to happen next.
“Oh no you don’t!” Pit thought as he equips his bow
Four of the dark stallions hold the little filly to the ground while a fifth cultist stands on top of the child.
“Oh Dark Gods, we give you THIS SACRIFICE!!!” the female pony raise her dagger as far back as she could
(The filly screams in terror)
(Unknown sound)
“What happened?” said one of the four cultists as they let go of the little filly
The mare holding the knife dropped it and covered her neck as blood came gushing out.
“Huh?”
“Hey monsters, time to face someone your own size!” Pit runs towards the crazed group
“Finally a worthy kill for the Dark Gods!”
The rest of the group aim AK-47s at the charging angel.
“Fire, fire, FIRE!!!”
Using his angel like speed and agility Pit closes the distance and slashes away at the pony heretics, killing half of them.
“Curse the enemies of the gods! We need reinforcements!”
With half of the dozen cultist dead, the chaos ponies fall back. Pit stops and heals the little filly.
“Do you think we’re done with you!”
The group returns with two ponies operating a pick-up truck with a machine gun on back.
“Eat lead!”
Pit suddenly found himself spinning his twin daggers, creating an impenetrable shield that stops all the bullets!
“More dakka for the Dark Gods!”
“NO!!!!” scream the young filly hiding behind Pit
The entire group fires away at Pit, forcing him to stay still and deflect all incoming bullets!
“Shit! I can’t move or this little creature might get hit!”
Another one of the chaos ponies takes out an rpg-7 and aims at the duo.
“This is the end for you!”
“NO!!!”
Suddenly, an arrow found itself embedded on the cultist’s neck.
“Argh, NO!!!” the cultist fired his RPG and hit the technical (truck with machine gun on back)
The chaos ponies stopped firing. “Everyone, take cover!” the group falls back and take cover, scanning the area for the second enemy
“Where the hell is that archer!”
Pit grabbed the little filly and decided to take cover inside a restaurant.
“Thank… you,” said the little filly
The angel look at the little pony he had saved then turns his eyes towards the battle going on.
“No way,” he said
“What the hell is this thing!” said a pony cultist as he tried to fire his AK only to lose his head by another biped
Looking at the thing decimating the chaos ponies, Pit realized that the green clad warrior had unique ears and an ornate shield, bearing a triangle symbol. Forced into melee, the cult ponies tried falling back so that they could distance themselves before firing at the elf. Four died in the process.
“Fire NOW!”
Three of cultists aim their guns, only for a boomerang to knock them away!
“What!” said the first of trio before the stallion is fatality stabbed!
“Die!” said the second gunner as he draw out his plague knife and attempted to stab Link
Link immediately shield bashes the attacker, knocking him unconscious, but the third cultist manages to grab his gun and aim at the Hyrule champion!
“Ha ha-BLAH!!!” (The Master sword is in his chest)
“That’s it, WE’RE OUT OF HERE!” said a chaos pony
The rest of the group gets the hell out of the city. Of the thirty cultist ponies that attacked Detroit, only eighteen made it out alive. Realizing that the battle is over, the angel goes out of cover alongside the little filly to talk to Link.
“Hey,” said Pit, causing Link to turn around
Pit offered his hand, to which Link accepts. Though he is in a strange world, Pit is somewhat happy that he found a fellow comrade in this new war between good and evil.
The... VIDEO!
Sitting upon the Primordial Throne, Chaos Emperor Nero though about the relative ease of the conquest of Chaos, as universe after universe fell to the Forces of the Primordial Truth
“Truly the Gods of the Multiverse are ever so… lazy,” he thought
In this multiverse there are two Primal Gods, one of Order and one of Darkness. Each had created a plethora of Gods to either oversee the multiverse or waged war against the other side.
To ensure cohesion and an efficient ‘farming’ of the multiverse the Primal Gods have established a complex caste system on the lesser gods, based on three importance factors:
1. Their importance/rank/power in the multiverse
2. Those that specialized in warring against their enemies have higher status than those caring for the mortal cattle
3. And those that do not even know or have limited knowledge of the multiverse and the other deities. Some, such as the Old Ones and Star Gods of WH40k and the Titans of Warcraft think they are the supreme beings in their realm when the truth is much more… complex
The Chaos Emperor wish to destroy the Primal Gods and the multiverse along with it! A grudge that transcends the mortal hate within him for all life keeps him going in his diabolical quest for DESTRUCTION! HIS BLOOD BOILS, HIS FACE GRINS AND HIS ENTIRE POWER CAUSE THE WARP ITSELF TO TREMBLE WHILE THINKING OF THESE VERY THOUGHTS!!!
AND… it stops, much to the relief of the Forces of Chaos, even the Primordial Gods themselves could feel the immense power coming from him.
“How could the Chaos Gods have given me this second body, let alone this much power makes me ponder their intelligence and their single-mindedness,” the emperor thought
Eventually the Emperor got bored of the thought and moved onto something else. Through the electronics embedded in his mask, Nero plays a holo-video dated after the Unification Wars
“Dang it! The holo-video is damaged!”
The malfunction eventually stopped and showed a person clearly in power armor, though it’s hard to see as the area is very dark
“Oh? I seem to have played the wrong video,” though Nero “Oh well…”
“I am recording this video for humanity… and the truth. Who am I no longer matters,” said the mysterious person
“I have lived for a long time and served the Imperium of Man with honor and duty. However, I have seen something. Seen something that will shock the very foundation of the Imperium itself!”
“Ah… skeletons in the closet,” Nero said with a dark smile
“I… will… (seems the person is having a hard time with words) tell the truth about the God-Emperor himself!”
(Suddenly, the video malfunctioned on the stranger’s side)
“Argh… damn the warp!”
(The video ends)
Nero reminiscence about the days of the Horus Heresy, “God-Emperor of Mankind, how pathetic you are!” he said while he stood up
“I show the world your darkest secret and everyone including your precious angels of death, desert you like the beggar you are! (HA! HA! HA! HAHAHAHAHHA! THE LAUGHING NEVER STOPS!!!)
