Khârn's POV

My axe found purchase in the Yak's armor, and proceeded to tear into its thick fur, the teeth biting into the skin underneath and shredding it like a paper shredder. The Yak roared in pain, before slumping down onto the ground, dead. I removed my axe and examined it. I sighed.

"Stupid Fucking fur......." I said as I began to pick hair out of it. The others were using long range weapons to tear into the Yaks, while I went up close. So, I put my axe away, pulled out my plasma pistol, and began firing into them, the superheated air burning clean through both the Yak's armor and hide. Though we were winning, I was having no fun at it. What's the point of fighting your enemy if not to get in close and personal to tear their face apart? I'm not a asshole Tau.

Anyways, we eventually took out most of the Yaks, and the survivors were near dead or dying. I looked to my troops.

"Maybe now they will learn not to mess with us!" I roared. The soldiers stomped their feet together in a cheer.

Then a Las burst shot over my head. I turned back to the Yaks.

Within the ranks of dead Yaks, there was a single pony. But said pony had a Lascannon. I quickly put a plasma bolt between her eyes, melting her head into a puddle of liquid flesh, blood, and bones. I turned back to my warriors.

"We need to report this." I told them.

Then the ponies sprung their ambush.

Ahriman's POV

I was sitting up in the bridge when a vox signal cut into the tranquility. I activated the link.

"Khârn? How goes the battle?" I asked, expecting a clean victory.

"Ahriman.......reinforcements..........ponies.......Lasguns........major casualties......send help!" The vox transmission abruptly cut off after that. I immediately activated the ship vox speaker.

"Attention, all soldiers! Khârn is requesting reinforcements! The ponies have gained use of our technology and have ambushed his small squad. All forces to the Thunderhawks!" I ordered before rushing down to the hangar. When I arrived, there were multiple squads prepping for launch. Teenage dragons manned the controls of the Thunderhawks. I boarded mine.

"Where to, my lord?" The dragon asked.

"Yakistan. Hurry." I ordered. He nodded, before the engines activated and my squad and I were quickly flown to the Yak country.

Khârn's POV

I was hiding behind a small trench, occasionally firing shots from my Plasma pistol. The ponies had killed most of my troops, with only two Griffons and one dragon remaining. We were pinned down, and it was only a matter of time until the ponies decided to move forward for close quarters.

"Lord Khârn, how did they gain our weaponry?!" One of the griffons, a male named Careless Joy, asked.

I shrugged. "Maybe they found a repository somewhere." I raised my pistol and fired again, and the sound of a pony shrieking in pain confirmed my kill. The Griffons raised their Lasguns and fired, scoring a few shots. I groaned.

"I guess this means we need to step up our own game." I said to myself. My chainaxe was almost clear of Yak fur, so I revved it up, and charged forward, screaming and shooting as I ran. Every shot made contact with a pony or their weapons, rendering them inoperable. Or exploding. Which also rendered them inoperable. Anyways!

I reached their front line, and they went and grabbed bayonets and swords. I broke these. One pony, a leader, had a Power Sword, however. This proved to be a problem. He was also a Unicorn. Even more of a problem.

"Foul monster, your tyranny ends here!" He cried, brandishing the Power Sword, which was bearing the insignia of the Blood Angels Legion. This riled my blood. A filthy Xeno dared to use an Astartes weapon?! Even a Loyalist one? This breach of sanctity needed to be resolved.

I roared, Gorechild swinging towards the pony’s neck, the axe screeching in rage. The pony countered it, the Power Sword blocking the massive chainaxe. However, the pony did not have the strength to block it fully, and was blown back. I charged after, grabbing the sword and bringing it to a stop at the pony’s neck again.

"Filthy pest. You aren't even worthy to bear a lasgun, let alone a Loyalist Astartes weapon." I then cut off his head, the blood spurting from his neck like a river, staining the snow around him. The blood on the sword slowly turned to steam. Suddenly, an entire army of ponies appeared on the horizon. With my enhanced vision, I saw that they all carried weapons of the 41st millenium. Lasguns, chainswords, etc. I growled. Not even I could fight that many. But I heard a faint but familiar sound from behind me: The sound of a Thunderhawk. I turned to see the great war bird landing next to me, and a squad of dragons poured out, along with Ahriman. He gazed at the army amassed before us, and at the weapons littering the ground.

"Collect the weapons. And the bodies. We are leaving." He ordered. The Dragons immediately got to work, scavenging the weapons surrounding us. He then looked at me.

"We are going to need a few more soldiers. Maybe about thirty thousand. I will contact the leaders. Perhaps they can provide us with some much needed assistance. I believe we can modify the Lasgun design to fit a pony like body. I already got Twilight some Astartes pattern armor. She should be here.... now." A bright flash appeared, and in its place stood a black armoured pony, with full body armor designed like the Astartes. The symbol of the Black Legion adorned the shoulder pads, and on the eyes, the symbol of Tzeentch was stamped on each one. Two heavy Bolters were attached to the sides, and had planted thick bracing legs into the ground as it tracked the enemy army. Steam hissed from the helmet, and it broke apart, folding into the armor to reveal a purple pony, with the mark of Chaos painted around her horn.

She grinned sadistically, revealing pearly white fangs.

"Don't worry, Lord Ahriman. I can easily hold them off." She snarled with glee, before opening fire with her horn, as well as her two heavy bolters. In two moments, ponies started dying, either by being destroyed by the combined power of both the Warp and magic, or blown apart by the heavy bolters. I nodded in approval. When the guns ran out, two servitors that had teleported with her quickly reloaded while she focused on her Warp magic.

A singular pony stepped out, dressed in full body power armor, a power sword raised proudly above the stallion's head in an aura of magic. A similar color of magic enveloped the helmet, and it floated off, revealing Shining Armor, a hard glare set upon his face. Twilight disengaged the Heavy bolters, which then added more legs until it became a turret, but held fire. I again nodded approvingly, before tossing her the Blood Angels sword I claimed.

She caught it in her magic before resuming her march towards her brother. I smirked before pulling a bag of ungodly buttered and salted popcorn.

"This is gonna be good." I muttered, munching on the glorious popcorn.

Twilight's POV

When I stood face to face against Shining, a swell of memories popped into my head. All the good times I had with him. I snapped back to the present, crushing those feelings and memories.

"Twily..... what happened to you?" He asked, examining me with a look of shock and horror. I smirked, revealing my fangs.

"I grew up, brother. I have learned the secrets of the universe, and see the error of all of ponykind. I am here to correct that error. Equestria shall be serviced to the Dark Gods as my offering to them! And any who stand in my way shall die. That includes you, Shining Armor." I replied, brandishing the Power Sword Khârn gave me. It was an elegant blade, with a symbol of a red tear of blood flanked by two angelic wings emblazoned upon the hilt.

Shining Armor sighed, and a tear fell from his eyes, before brandishing his own power sword.

"Then, as Prince of the Crystal Kingdom, and commander of the great United Army, I will stop you." He told me, before charging forward, his sword held in front of him. I leapt back, my helmet forming around me. I blocked his blade, twisting it to the side, before striking at him. He dodged the strike, the sword slicing the side of his armor. His eyes widened in surprise before he swiped his sword at me. I dodged, the blade parting the air under me, and then forced him on the defence side, my blade slicing and dicing all around him. He cursed, before activating his horn and erecting a shield all around him. I smirked.

"Well then, Shining. I guess this just became a magic duel." I channeled my Warp-imbued Magic into my blade, and throwing it at the shield. When the tip hit, I activated my levitation spell, and forced the blade into the shield. Inch by slow inch, the blade parted through the shield, and before Shining could react, I unleashed the Warp Spell carefully woven into the blade. Tendrils of energy lashed out, latching onto Shining's horn and sucking him of his magic. The shield failed, and the power sword punctured his armor and dove straight into his heart. He gasped, before collapsing.

I removed the blade from his chest before walking up to him, grinning in victory. He looked up at me with blank eyes.

"Why....would you.......do....this?" He asked, tears in his eyes. I laughed.

"Two reasons: one, Celestia will die. And two, it was to buy enough time for my forces to retreat. But thanks for the sword. I really appreciate it." I told him, and then levitate his sword over to me, before teleporting away.

Random Solar Guard POV

"Your majesty! We must return you to the Crystal Kingdom at once!" I yelled, signaling some other guards to bring him. He raised his hoof.

"No, Fleet Work. This is the end for me. My heart is destroyed physically and emotionally. Tell Cadance... that I love her. And that..... Twilight has.... changed." He then collapsed. I quickly turned to the other guards.

"Quick! Get me that strange Sarcophagus!" I ordered. They ran back to the end of the group, before coming back with the massive thing. I placed Shining Armor inside, and the sarcophagus immediately put him in stasis, preserving him until we could heal him.

I looked back to where Twilight had resided before.

"I will find you. And I will kill you." I swore, before the army began the trek back to Canterlot.
