Previous Chapter Next ChapterAhriman's POV
"Okay, you two. Remember. In order to create your token, you must use something that can represent you. Then, focus on it, and say something as a message." I told them. They both nodded, before picking up an item. Khârn picked up his plasma pistol. Zhufor picked up a small bolter pistol.
"I am Khârn The Betrayer, Champion of Khorne, the blood god, the Skull Taker, Yada yada. If you need my help, or just want a decent fight, then summon me to your side." Khârn chanted.
"I am Zhufor The Impaler, a soldier of the great God Khorne. To any who need a battle resolved, or who needs help in the way of destruction, summon me to crush your enemies. All I require is one item or weapon to use in battle." Zhufor called, before chucking the bolter pistol up into the air. Khârn did the same.
"There. Now, you will be randomly summoned by another Displaced. We need as many allies as possible for the upcoming war against Equestria. Of course, we may also end up making enemies." I told them, to which they nodded. "Tell me of any Displaced you meet. Now then, I'm off to check on Twilight's studies. Khârn, you go check on Rainbow Dash. Zhufor, you go check on Applejack. We will reconvene in an hour, with our respective element bearer." I added, and we split off, heading to different directions.
When I arrived at Twilight's quarters, she was practicing summoning a deamon. I sat silently as she muttered the language of deamons. When she finished, a Bloodletter rose from the ashes of a corpse. As I watched, a purple chain erupted from her horn and around the Deamon's neck, trapping it. The thing tried to get rid of the chain, but it's claws could not find purchase on the energy chains. She then banished the deamon, before turning back to me.
"Lord Ahriman, to what do I owe the pleasure?" She asked. I chuckled.
"Your studies are advancing faster than I expected. Quite soon, I believe you will be ready for the final step." I replied, before realizing I didn't answer her question. "Oh, forgive me. I am here to make sure you are ready." I placed a hand on her shoulder. She nodded, and collected her books in a nice, orderly pile.
"Okay, so what else?" She asked. I was about to reply, when I felt a tugging sensation. Before I could blink, me and Twilight were flung through the void and dropped off into another world.

Khârn's POV
"So, RD, are you ready to greet the troops?" I asked. She nodded, her face set in grim determination. As we walked to the hangar, I glanced at her. Her colors were faded, and she had a Mark of Khorne ingrained upon her chest. I looked back in front of me as we entered the hangar.
"Attention! Commanding officers on deck!" I barked. The thirty griffons and dragons stood at attention immediately, their heads held high.
"Warriors of the New Black Legion, this is your current leader, Captain Rainbow Dash. You will answer to her and follow any order, unless it goes against me or my brothers orders. I am sending you all out to the area around the Crystal Empire as a first assignment. There is a military convoy of weapons en route to Canterlot. We cannot allow these weapons to arrive. So, in order to combat the new weaponry, we have allowed our soldiers to use standard issue bolter pistols." I popped open a weapon box, before pulling out one of the weapons.
"These guns have quite a kick to them, but deliver an even bigger punch. They utilize mass reactive bullets, which explode on contact." The soldiers gazed at the gun in awe. "Since I will not be joining you, I have given Rainbow a modified set of power armour for a advantage against the enemy, as well as an emergency in case the enemy has a soldier with power armor. You have thirty minutes before deployment. Rainbow wants to get to know you, so have fun." I then walked back into the halls.

Rainbow's POV
"So...." I started. The Griffons and dragons all stared at me. "First of all, at ease." They all slumped suddenly, and walked towards the gun crate.
"Okay, so first order of business will be to organize our chain of command. I don't expect to fall, but if I do, I want the oldest soldier here to take over command." I told them as they checked out the pistols. I had two heavy bolters strapped to my sides, deactivated. One of the Dragons walked up to me.
"I am the oldest dragon here, ma'am. My name is Burning Blazer." He told me. I nodded, before looking to the others.
"Alright! This guy here, Burning Blazer, is your commander if I fall. Now then, I want to know each of your names, and something about you. So, line up when you get your gun, and present yourself to me." I ordered. They nodded, before lining up in a single file line. I nodded in approval. I walked up to the front.
"Name?" I asked the griffon.
"Sword Arm, ma'am! I was a mercenary for the Griffon Kingdom back before the war!" He answered, looking dead ahead.
"Good. Return to your duties, Sword Arm." He nodded before walking off. I looked to the next guy, a dragon.
"Name?" I asked. It continued for a while after this. When I finished the last name, Khârn came back.
"Alright, it's time to move out!" He shouted, and we all clambered into the Thunderhawks. After a few seconds, the doors sealed shut, and the Thunderhawk took off, heading towards the planet below.
"Ten minutes until we reach our destination." the pilot called out. A hologram of Khârn appeared in the center of the ship.
"Okay, your mission is simple. Secure the weapons, kill the guards, and bring the weapons back. We need to do this as quickly as possible. No survivors. Don't let them call for reinforcements. As soon as the weapons are secure, radio me. I will send in a Thunderhawk to bring the weapons back. The cargo is being carried through this route." His image was replaced by a map of the route. "Land the Thunderhawks here, then trek to the road on foot. Then, wait for them to get close. Then you can engage. That is all." The hologram shut off. I looked to the rest of the squad.
"Alright, you know what to do now. Five minutes till we land." I told them.

Zhufor's POV
"Alright Applejack. Your mission is to destroy this enemy encampment. I will give you a squad of heavy troops as support. Your modified Terminator Armor has been equipped with a Vulcan Heavy Bolter for enemy forces. You meet with your squad in hangar B in ten minutes. Get suited up and report there." I told her, before walking off. I had faith in her abilities.

Applejack's POV
"Alright, so I'm your commanding officer, Applejack. Our mission is to destroy a large enemy encampment based on the border of the Badlands and Equestria. By removing this, we clear the way for the rest of our forces during the war. Board the Thunderhawk when ready." I stated. They all nodded, their special modified heavy bolters at their sides. The squad was a group of ponies in heavy armor not power armor, but still full body. They grabbed their heavy bolters, the gemstones embedded in them decreasing their weight and knockback. They quickly boarded the Thunderhawk, and I followed behind.

Rainbow's POV
When we landed, the soldiers all ran out, securing the area. I walked out, my heavy bolters activated and following my eyes as I scanned the area.
"Area secure, Sargeant Rainbow." Burning Blazer reported. I nodded.
"Alright. Head to the ambush point." I ordered. They all got back up and began walking forward, keeping their pistols trained in front of them. We walked for about thirty minutes in the snow before we arrived. The soldiers all took their positions. I nodded to them. Then we waited. After about fifteen minutes, and the end of my patience, we heard a rumbling sound.
At the front of the enemy convoy, a large metal transport, a Chimera, rolled up. We had expected heavy transports. I looked to Fire Razer, and he nodded, lifting up a Lascannon. It fired, punching into the hull of the transport. After a second, the transport stopped, it's engine destroyed. The ponies quickly ran out, brandishing Lasguns.
"Fire!" I shouted, and the empty tundra opened up in Las fire and bolter fire. My heavy Bolters locked onto the main enemy group, and opened fire, tearing into them. Their flak armor was no match, as they were torn to shreds, blood and gore flying everywhere. I deployed the Heavy bolters as turrets before charging into the fray, my chainsword attachment roaring in hunger. My wings had been outfitted with two chain blades in the front, and I used them effectively.
The chainswords bit into the ponies flesh, tearing it to shreds. The ponies screamed in agony as chunks of flesh flew off from them, before I cleaved off their heads. My soldiers continued a barrage of disciplined fire, tearing into the ponies disorganized group. After a few minutes, the fight was over. The pony guards were defeated, and the weapons secure. I opened up a secure vox channel.
"Khârn, the weapons are secure. Awaiting extraction." I reported.
"Acknowledged." Was the reply. Another rumble became apparent, and everyone readied their weapons. As the vehicle climbed up the road, I gazed at it in horror. Khârn had tutored me in what types of tanks I might face, and I remembered this one.
"Baneblade! Take cover!" I yelled, leaping to the side as the massive tank fired it's main cannon. Everyone else did the same.
÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷
Applejack's POV
"Alright, let's move." I ordered, and we fanned out, the enemy camp in front of us. It was heavily fortified, weapon emplacements lining the wooden walls. I nodded to one of the ponies, who lobbed a Krak grenade. We waited. An explosion, as well as screaming, was heard.
"Now! Charge! For The New Black Legion!" I yelled, and we charged forward, heavy bolters lighting up the enemy fortifications. The walls cracked under the heavy firepower,and collapsed, taking down the gun fortifications. My Vulkan Heavy Bolter barked, spewing out bullets into anything that moved. We kept the fire going, and slowly took out the enemy base. It was quick: the enemy was under armoured, with few decent weapons.
"Alright. I'll report this to command." I activated the vox channel.
"Command, objective secure. What next?" I reported.
"Heavy Apple squad, new orders. Return to the Thunderhawk immediately. Sergeant Rainbow Dash is currently engaged in a battle in the North and requests reinforcements. She says to bring anti-armor weaponry." A voice replied, and I nodded.
"Acknowledged. Moving out." I replied, before turning back to the soldiers.
"Alright! We are moving out! Rainbow Dash is in trouble up north and requests backup! Return to the Thunderhawk!" I ordered, and they rushed back to the Thunderhawk.

Rainbow's POV
"Sergeant Rainbow, please wait. Reinforcements are on the way. Sergeant Applejack and her heavy squad is en route and will be at your position in five minutes." The pony on the vox said.
"Acknowledged." I muttered, cutting the link. "Reinforcements are on their way!" I shouted, receiving a burst of bolter fire from the Baneblade. The strike force had suffered a few casualties. Private Grey Wing was torn to ribbons by the heavy bolters, and was still staining the snow with his blood. Tough Talon was disintegrated by a blast from it's main cannon. And Fluffy Fur was torn apart trying to get to cover.
We continued to fire uselessly at it's armor, doing nothing. A few lucky rockets took out a Bolter gun, but that was it. I heard a sound of a Thunderhawk in the distance.
"Relief is almost here!" I shouted, getting another spray of bolter ammo at my cover. The Thunderhawk flew overhead, and eleven soldiers and one Terminator dropped down, Lasguns and melta guns at the ready. They opened fire at once, carving into the massive Baneblade. The Terminator charged forward, firing a heavy plasma gun as they ran. The heated air punched into the massive machine, as well as the rest of the fire, and everything went still. My group walked out of cover, making sure that the massive tank was truly dead.
"Thanks, Applejack. We would've been done for if you hadn't shown up." I told told the Terminator, whose head fell back to reveal the orange mare.
"Ah, shucks. You know ah couldn't leave my friend hangin." She told me. I smiled, before turning back to the weapons from the convoy.
"Let's get this packed up and move out." I told her. She nodded.
