Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Khârn The Betrayer
Previous Chapter Next ChapterGordon's POV
When I woke up, I found myself falling through the sky at a speed equal to that of a jet. Unfourtunately, I was rushing towards the ground.
"Shit, this is going to hurt." My voice sounded different, but I hardly had time to think on it when I crash landed into a field. Suprisingly, I was still alive. Suprisingly, I was not hurt all that badly. Unsuprisingly, it still hurt like a deamon crawling through your stomach. While said Deamon tears your stomach apart and eats it. I stood up to find multiple spears in front of me.
"Halt, creature! State your buisness!" I looked to who was talking to me and my eyes widened. It was a Pony with Bat wings. A Fucking Pony. I looked to the sky and yelled.
"WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME UNIVERSE! WHY?!" The batpony things all held their hooves to their ears until I stopped, to which they raised they're spears at me again.
"State thy buisness, Beast! Without thy yelling." The Batpony spoke again. I raised my hand to find myself holding my Plasma pistol, but it actually looked real. I raised my other hand to find a very real chainaxe. I put both on my waist and tried to remove my helmet. I couldn't.
"Well, shit. Oh well, for now might as well play the part. I've always wondered what it was like to be Kharn. Didn't think it would be this." He muttered, too low for even a batpony to hear. The batpony leader raised his spear.
"What was that?" He asked. I looked him dead in the eye, and spoke.
"I am Kharn The Betrayer! The Avatar of the Blood God himself! I have faced countless battles and survived, claiming more skulls for my lord than any other! I was the first to break through the Impenetrable walls of the Imperial Palace, and have destroyed many Deamons of the warp! You would be wise not to make me your enemy." I boomed, holding the chainaxe Gorechild high into the air. The batponies backed up slightly at this, but still leveled their spears at me. The leader spoke up.
"And what buisness do you have here, Kharn the Betrayer?" He asked. I looked down on him.
"Nothing, really. I just fell through a wormhole and woke up here. Where am I, by the way?" I replied, forcing him to do a double take.
"You are in Equestria, Kharn. Do you not know about this place?" He replied. I took a deep breath, let it out, then shook my axe towards the sky.
"DAMN YOU UNIVERSE!!! I REALLY FUCKING HATE YOU RIGHT NOW!" I yelled, causing the batponies to jump a little. I looked down on the lead batpony.
"So, I guess this is the part where I say 'take me to your leader', right?" I asked him. He looked at me oddly.
"Unfourtunately, we cannot let strangers see the princess. Especially due to the circumstances." He replied.
"What circumstances?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. He just looked at me in sheer shock.
"You really don't know about the war? Are you just playing stupid, or are you being serious?" He asked, a ludicrous look on his face.
"I'm completely serious. Did you forget the part where I mentioned that I fell through a wormhole?" I replied.
"Fine. Come with us to our camp. We will explain on the way. For now, you will be treated as a prisoner, so we must confiscate your weapons." He looked me in the eye, or rather, the glass of my helmet. I shrugged.
"I would, but... I don't think you can carry them. To heavy." On that note, before he could reply, I unhooked my axe and dropped it. It hit the ground with a thunk, and sunk a few feet into the hardened ground. The bat leader looked at it in shock, his mouth on the floor. He gulped, then looked up at me.
"We will allow you to keep your weapons until we get to the camp. There, you will deposit them at the forge." He said. I just shrugged.
"As long as they don't try to melt it down, I'm fine. " I answered. We then began walking back towards the camp, and batpony leader began telling me about the current war. Before he could, I stopped him.
"First, what's your name? I'm not just going to call you Batpony leader in my mind. So what's your name?" I asked. He looked up at me, then sighed and replied.
"Captain Steel Wings of the 45th Lunar Company of the Lunar Guard. Now then, let me tell you the current events, since you clearly don't know about it." He then restarted his tale.
"For a thousand years, Princess Celestia and Luna ruled Equestria. But Celestia was always the one who got the most attention. She controls the sun, and most ponies live in the sunlight, and sleep and ignore Luna's night. So, after so long of being ignored, Luna struck out, Casting the world into an Eternal Night, and declared war on Celestia. We Lunar guards sided with Our majesty Princess Luna, while the Solar guard sided with Celestia. The war has been going on for a month now, and neither side has been willing to go down without a fight. The camp we are heading to is one of many in the surrounding area. We are preparing for an ambush on a Solar Guard Military transport bearing weapons for the Solar Guards. We are going to steal it before it gets to the Solar Capital. There's the camp right now." He finished, pointing his hoof at a large encampment a mile away.
"Hmm, interesting. I would like to partake in this war of yours." I told them. They all stopped in their tracks. Steel Wings looked at me.
"Why? This war doesn't concern you, and you want to join in? Why?" He asked.
"Simple. You guys were the first creatures I met here, and I honestly like the night. And plus, I need to collect skulls for the Skull Throne." I replied. They just stared at me, some with incredulous looks, some with joy. Steel pondered this.
"Very well, Khârn The Betrayer. We will allow you to join us in this mission. It will be your test of your abilities. Though, we will be keeping a close eye on you. Your title is 'The Betrayer' after all." Steel told me. I nodded.
"Of course. It's only logical. Now then, let's head to the camp." I reply, and we all head towards the camp.

As we walk through the tent, all movement stops as the Batponies all stare at me. I look at them back. I followed Captain Steel towards what I assume to be a command tent. When I enter, I see that I was right. Military commanders and such were all discussing something at a table with a map on it. They even had those little wierd figurines that represent their forces. They ignore us until Steel coughs. They all turn, and, having me in their sights, stop dead. I wave.
"Hi." I said. They then look down to Captain Steel.
"Captain Steel, what exactly is this... thing?" One of them asks.
"Sir, this is Khârn The Betrayer, Avatar of The Blood God, and a possible new recruit for the Lunar Guard." He states. They look back up to me, mouth agape.
"He speaks the truth. I'm going to he you guys win the war. I am at your service." I tell them. They then look down to Steel again.
"What are his capabilities?" The one who spoke earlier asked. Steel then gestures to Gorechild, which I grab. He looks to me.
"Show them." He said flatly. I simply drop the axe, and it sinks into the ground. Again. They just look at it in shock. I pick it up again.
"There's more. Prepare to be amazed." I activate the Chainaxe, and it's teeth roar hungrily, spinning into a blur. I deactivated ate it once I realize that they are holding their hoofs to their head.
"This is a Chainaxe. It's part chainsaw, part axe. This will cut through pretty much anything. Considering you still only have simple spears, I'm guessing your not as technologically advanced to have armour that can survive this." I put the axe back in its spot, locking it into place. They look around at eachother, then look back to me.
"What is your armor like?" One asks.
"Stronger than anything you guys have available. Spears and such won't even dent it, let alone pierce it. It's also connected to my flesh, so I can't take it off." I reply. Just as one of them were about to ask another question, a courier galloped into the tent.
"Commander! The shipment is almost here! The Loyalists are early!" He says, then notices me. He quickly squirms back, in fear and awe of me.
"This is troubling news. It's almost daytime, when they are strongest. What to do?" The Commander asks his fellows at the table. Then, as one, they all look to me. I then understand perfectly what they are thinking. I simply nod.
"Yes, I will go destroy the Solar Guard soldiers at once. But, since you don't know if I will betray you or not, you will send someone with me. I nominate Captain Steel Wings here. Is that all? I can start moving out now if you'd like." I tell them. They all nod, then look to Steel. He nods as well.
"Alright, Khârn, we will trust you with this operation. If Steel Wings does not return with you, we will kill you. Steel Wings." THe captain shot straight up. "You will go with him and evaluate his capabilities. Remain in the shadows, and observe him." The commander ordered. Steel Wings saluted, and together we left the tent.
"Omay, now lead me to where the supply route is supposed to be." I tell him, and he nods. I follow him through a canopy of trees until we arrive at a dirt road.I look to left and see a dust cloud, which normally meant that something was coming. I also saw the sun rise, and Steel shied away from it. I looked to him.
"Stay in the trees." I tell him. He nods, and flies back to the cover of the forest. As the supply group draws closer, I unhook Gorechild, but don't activate it. Not yet. When the supply group got close enough, they stopped, and a large group of horned Ponies and Winged ones walk out to confront me, with spears and other weapons.
"Move out of the way, creature! This is a supply group heading towards her majesty Princess Celestia's castle. Move now or we will use force!" One of the guards, clearly a captain, ordered. I revved Gorechild.
"I think not, Loyalist scum." I then charge at them, and yell the famous words of a servant of Khorne.
"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!" I then proceed to swing Gorechild into one of the ponies, and before the rest could react, said pony was torn to ribbons. I quickly grabbed my Plasma pistol, swing it into the face of another pony, and pulled the trigger, releasing a large ball of energy, and in the next instant, the ponies head was disintegrated. I swung my chainaxe around, cutting through three more ponies' necks. Soon all that was left was the captain. He had already pissed himself at the fact that in less than a minute, his entire squad was dead. He used his magic to levitate his sword in defence, but it was smacked away. I looked down on him, and got right up in his face.
"You listen and you listen good. I am Khârn the Betrayer, Avatar of the Blood God Khorne, and ender of a million lives. I will let you live, if only to tell your precious Princess that I am going to crush her army, and claim each of their skulls. None in your world can defeat me, and I will destroy the entire Solar Guard myself. Do you understand?" I tell him. He quickly nods his head. "Good. Now, I'm taking this cart for the Lunar Guard. I want you to go back to your leaders pathetic castle and tell her about what just happened. In exact detail." He nods his head again, and I walk past him and pick up the cart with the supplies. I walk back into the Forest and out of sight.
