As the members of the Imperium raised their shields to prepare for the coming assault, Captain Serrus contacted the Galactic Empire's Fleet.
"Admiral, I have grave news. A Battle fleet of heretics have come to this planet. We must prepare for battle." Serrus told him after the link was established.
"Yes, our sensors have detected these ships you spoke of, as well as another fleet far away, but they will be here soon. Have you had any contact whatsoever with your soldiers on the ground?" The Admiral asked. Serrus shook his head. "Have you at least sent them a message to warn them of a possible invasion?" Another shake of the head. "Might want to do that before the battle begins. Just in case we fall." The Admiral told him. He nodded, and told one of the Servitors to establish a vox link with the soldiers below.

As Meridion once more spoke with Twilight, a soldier came in.
"Captain Meridion. A vox call has been sent to us, asking for you and the rest of the squad." He told the captain. Meridion sighed. He looked over to Twilight, who just looked at him, puzzled.
"I will be right back." He told her. He then got up, and followed the Guardsmen to the communications center. When he entered, he saw that the rest of his squad had already arrived.
"Captain Meridion, so glad you could join us. We have important matters to discuss." Serrus said from the monitor. Meridion stood next to his Battle brothers and gave Serrus a salute, then stood at attention.
"Unfourtunately, my space marines, the Chaos filth has somehow found us here. We must expect a ground assault, so we are sending down some more squadrons to aid in the defence. How have the local relations been so far?" Serrus briefed them. Meridion stepped forward.
"Sir, we have made contact with the local population, and while they are not in fact human, they seem to be of a Terran origin. They are of equine form, and we believe them to be some form of Human Experiment left to its own devices. In fact, I was just now speaking with their diplomat, a female named Twilight Sparkle. But, I must also tell you that we have indeed met other humans, but they are not native to this world. They have told us of their weaponry, but they said that they are wanting peace with us, and are in fact here to hunt a previously unknown Xenos Species Called the Seraphim. If you would like, I could arrange a meeting for both of these leaders to join in a conference." Meridion then finished his report. Serrus scratched his chin.
"Right now, we will have to meet these two leaders to discuss how to deal with the heretics. I want you to bring the diplomat you currently have here, and send for the leaders of the other humans. Do it now." Serrus ordered. Meridion nodded and went to fetch the purple alicorn. When he returned, she walked forward.
"Greetings, Captain Serrus. My name is Twilight Sparkle, The Princess of Friendship. I hope that our two species can get along-" She started, but was cut off by Serrus.
"Yes, miss Sparkle, I know who you are. But we must put aside the pleasantries as we have urgent buisness to discuss. One of our greatest enemies, the Chaos Filth, has found their way here, and, if we do not set up defence soon, will destroy your planet in the name of they're dark and false gods." Serrus told her. She paled a bit, but then spoke once more.
"My world has had its own Chaos in the past, which we defeated. It's name was Discord, a Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony. We have, however, managed to change his heart, and now serves our leaders, Celestia and Luna. I am certain that we can aid in dispelling thsee other chaos creatures." Twilight told them. Meridion nodded. Before Serrus could say anything, Meridion stepped forward.
"My lord, she has told me about this 'Discord', and from the way it sounds, this creature was not like the Chaos we know of. In fact, it seemed to be a different form of chaos entirely. It was more like what the people of ancient Terra would call a 'Playful ghost'. Though it could bend reality, it did not do what our enemy does. I believe that, now that it has been tamed, it can be of great aid in our coming fight against chaos." Meridion stated. Serrus pondered this. He looked to Twilight.
"Xeno, are you able to contact this creature named Discord?" Serrus asked. She nodded.
"I can bring him here now, if you would like." Twilight replied. Serrus nodded his consent. Twilight then began activated the summoning spell, and Discord appeared. When she looked up, every space marine had their bolter pointed at either her or Discord.
"Meridion, is this creature a Psyker?!" Serrus asked, seeming a bit furious. Before he could answer, Discord spoke up.
"Oh, Serrus, you don't have to worry about that. This world uses something that is not at all connected to the warp, and also, it doesn't have the capability to control someone's mind." Discord said, laughing a bit. "Now, why not put those petty weapons aside, and let us have a talk in a civilized manner." The marines did not lower their weapons. Serrus glared at Discord.
"And how do I know to believe you, Chaos Scum?" Serrus asked.
"Oh please, if they, or I, for that matter, had allied with those dumb old Chaos Gods, don't you think k we would have automatically attacked you? Just look around the planet! Do you see any of those disturbing chaos symbols?" Discord replied. He had a point. Serrus growled.
"Fine. We will talk, xenos. Since you apparently dislike the Chaos gods, we will at least consider a possible truce. Lower your weapons." Serrus answered, and the marines lowered their weapons. Twilight breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, four more humans entered, three of them in clothing different from the rest.
"And who is this?" Serrus asked.
"My name is Commander Errens of The UEF, Cybran, and Aeon Illuminate Coaliton. I represent the UEF, or United Earth Federation. These are my coworkers, Commander Andrews of the Cybran Nation, and Champion Selena of The Aeon Illuminate. What do you need?" Errens answered, pointing to each of his colleagues.
"Long story short, the Imperium of Man's greatest enemy, the Chaos Legions, are en route to this planet, and want to destroy us, as well as this planet. We need aid in the defence of this planet. Will you help us?" Serrus explained.
"Sure. Might as well, since they are going to destroy us anyway if we don't. We can give assistance in the ground and orbital defence. What do you have?" Errens answered, looking at Serrus.
Aboard my ship, we have 50 Blood Angel Space Marines, with ten in Terminator Armour, three Dreadnought's, five Land raiders, seven Thunderhawks, one Stormraven, three Rhino's,a company of Imperial Guardsmen, one Baneblade, and one venerable Dreadnought. In the other ships, we have a full company of Raven Guard Space Marines, three Terminator Squads, a dozen land raiders, a war hound Titan, ten dreadnoughts, 2 Baneblades, a Company of Guardsmen,three wings of Thunderhawks, and more." Serrus said, looking at a chart. He looked back. "Does that sound like enough?" He asked.
"Hopefully." Errens replied.
"Well, that should be it. Xenos, go tell you leader about the coming attack, and tell her to warn her citizens to evacuate. This whole planet is going to be a warzone." Serrus said, ending the meeting.
