"A- are you... a- a human?" Whatever this creature is, it looked scared at the God-Emperor. Maybe it, or she since it was clear that this creature is a female, saw the God-Emperor kill a being that was considered a god.

*God-Emperor's POV*

"I am a human and that's all you need to know." I said with a cold tone as I raised my hand towards her and it was surrounded with electricity, ready to kill that xeno. But before I could make an attack she backed off and had a look of fear in her eyes and waves both of her hands infront of herself.

"W- Wait, no no! I'm not your enemy! I'm on your side! Please, I swear I mean you no harm!" That creature pleaded with a panic feminine voice.

Now of course I don't believe this Xeno for a second. It, or she, is probably just pleading for mercy after watching me destroy this mighty creature. I normally would kill any xeno monster on sight but she still pleading and swearing that she is on my side. Very soon the moment she said she 'helps' humans, she got my attention. Although I refuse to believe that a xeno beast would be a human's friend. I decided just for formality's sake to use my newly added magic from my dead enemy to sense her heart and look into her soul to find any lies in her. Only to find......

NONE!!!???

Seriously, just NONE! I simply could not find a single spark of lies in her at all! This goes against everything I saw among my drones, everything I knew about all Xenos. With my mask I am calm and my eyes shows no sign of shock, But inside my brain I goes many hours of

and

I seriously refuse to believe for a second that a xeno is a human ally. Every fucking races I had seen and observed is a threat to the human race! Not a single bloody monster would help a human, not even a little child! Xeno scums are slavers, slaughterers and destroyers of humanity. ALL OF THEM ARE EVERYTHING THAT MAKES HUMANS WORST NIGHTMARE!!!!!

But this... being. This creature claims to be a friend of humankind and I couldn't sense any lies in her.

Maybe I still have alot to learn about them. So I turned off my powers from my hand and sighed in defeat. As I put my hand down this female creature notice my moves and calmed down. After a minute of silence I decided to talk.

"Why are you here?" I asked it.

"Oh, eh... I live here with my hive. I heard a loud noise and then I found you kill Discord, the spirit of chaos and disharmony. To think you manage to kill him and yet you are a human." She said as if she was impressed.

"Who and what are you creature? And don't try my patience, I'm not in the mood." I said with a stern voice as my eyes show distrust in her. She swallowed in her throat which shows that she is scared of me. Which is good.

"I- I'm a changeling queen, my name is Syrphid. We changelings are a species of insects ponies who can take the form of others with ease. The reason I didn't take a human form when approaching you is because we help humans, hide them and give them better treatment so that they can provide us love to feed." She explains to me and I stood there in silence and listen to every words she said. I'm still unsure about her race helping humans but what confused me is the part about her race eating love. This doesn't make any sense. But I decided to put that irrelevant subject aside and focus more on her interest on humans.

"When you said 'we', do you mean that you are not alone?" I asked her.

"Yes, my hive lives in the underground tunnels of the Badlands, this very land we stand on now. When we find any humans around we brought them here to safety. My hive give them better treatment, better food, we never hurt them for even a small mistake." Queen Syrphid explains with a soft tone of a mother, which almost makes me trust her.

"Why do your kind sympathize my kind? You're saying you feed off the love from us, are you saying that you use humans as.... livestocks!" I said the last part with much anger, which she jumped a little with fright.

"N- N NO! Not livestocks! We treat them all as our equals. Maybe you didn't know but the changeling race and the human race has alot in common." She said first in panic but soon at the last part she said in a sad tone, which caught my attention. Before I could ask her anything else she spoke.

"Why don't you come with me to the hive, there are other humans there too. That way I can prove to you my honesty. See this tunnel (pointing at a cave behind her), it leads down to the hive where we hide and protects as many humans as we could, in there I can tell you our history and our relationship with the human race. What do you say?" She asked the last part with puppy dog eyes and a pleading tone like she really wants me to come. I looked at the cave which was the entrance to her hive. 'NOW HOW THE HELL DID MY DRONES OVERLOOKED THAT!?' I thought as I looked at her, before I give her an answer I mentally activeted my drones stealth generators to make them invisible and ordered them to stalk me for protection, right after that I looked at her in the eyes.

"Very well, I'll come. But this is merely a visit since I am needed in my domain." I told her and she seems satisfied.

"Great please come along, oh I almost forgot, I haven't asked your name." She said in a good mood, but I still was not.

"Until I trust you, I am the God-Emperor of Humanity." I said to be rude, but instead of being offended she was very surprised at my words. She then, quicker than the eyes, came close to my face with her nose several inches close to mine but I stood my ground.

"Y- You are the God-Emperor? T- The very same emperor that these giant armoed warriors fight for, who rescued over thousand humans in all their series of attacks on Equestria and other kingdoms!?" She was very shocked when she asked the very question, I must admit I'm impressed that I am known around.

"The one and only who will save humanity and bring it to it's righteous destiny, under my rule humanity will rule the multiverse." I said, hopping it would satisfy her. She then backed away a little and she had a strange look.

"Well then if you’re as good at being a 'god' of humanity, as you are in bed then I may have something to look forward to~" She said and then walked ahead of me with swaying hips and waved to me to follow her. D- Did a xeno just asked me for sex!? This can't be right this has to be some kind of prank or something. Anyway, I decided to push that stunt aside and chose to follow her for answers. What she dosen't know is that my invisible drones are following us and record all our voices and moves as we enter the cave entrance to their tunnel systems.

While we walked down the tunnels, I noted something on the walls of the tunnel shine that provided light.

"What are these stones that shine?" I asked her.

"These are special stones that lit in the dark. These stones are able to provide a source of light that illuminate the darkness." She said with a smile and flirty eyes, I'm not impressed.

After walking for a while, we came to a bigger area that held buildings. This place looked like a small town or a village. There were several houses and shops and I could see more 'changelings' moving back and fort along side with.... humans. That's right I see humans walking among the changelings, all without chains, rags and none of them are being abused by any changeling at all. It really is a shocking news to me, for the first time ever since I came to this new world do I see a race treat humans as equals. I can even see several little changelings playing tag with human children. This has given me a entirely new view of non-human species, all I could do was staring at the view with disbelief. As we stopped and I kept staring at them, Queen Syrphid seems to have noticed my surprised look.

"Do you see now? Not all creature are slavers. Not just changelings but also Abyssinia and the parrots treat humans as equals, equestria and all other nation dosen't like it but since Abyssinia is a trade nation they need it to stabilize their trade routes. As for the parrots, well since they are pirates it's not like it can be helped. But enough about that, why don't we introduce you to them all?" She said as she began to take my arm and drag me along. It was completely impossible for me to make of this at all.

She kept pulling me along into the opening, one by one the changelings and humans eyes went towards their queen but also me. Who was a masked man dressed like a noble. I am someone they have never seen before. Even the children who were playing around stop and stare at me with awe and curiosity. Queen Syrphid took the liberty of doing the introduction.

"Hello everyone! I have brought here a guest of honor. The one and only, the God-Emperor of Humanity!" She called out and everyone's eyes widen at that and stare right at me, to prove it I did the same thing I did when I introduced myself to my rescued subjects, glowing in a golden aura. After doing that in two minutes or three, they all started to swarm all over me. Admiring my powers, asking me questions about me and about their missing friends and families. But then all the commotion stopped once an old man came forth. He's a human, old and he have medium, white beard. He came towards me and looked at me in the eyes before he smiled.

"You really are the emperor of humanity. The one who is destined to create an empire for us." He said in a soft tone before he went down on his knees and them bowed to me, in a minute every human around the place did the same thing. Being surrounded by humans who willingly bow down to me feels like I really am a diety, even thought I was not.

"Would you please come with me to the throne room, I think you need to know alot of things about all other races relationships with the human races. I tell everything there." Queen Syrphid requested me with pleading eyes. I guess I could use some history lessons that could help me know better about the world.

BUT WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW THE HELL DIDN'T MY DRONES DISCOVER OTHER RACES THAT DOSEN'T ENSLAVE THE HUMAN RACE!!!!!!!

*In the meantime in the Crystal Empire, third person's POV*

The Crystal Empire is very much known for it's crystaling art and architectures, it is also known for it's imperial society. But above all else, they are known for being the victim of the dark ruler, King Sombra and being vanished from existence for a thousand years.

But right after the defeat of the dark king, the Crystal Empire got back on it's hooves and once again it became a prosperous empire. The only down side is that they once again have slavery, only this time they use humans to rebuild their empire.

It has been several years since the Crystal Empire's return, but now it's is in chaos. The reason for that is during these months, everypony talked about giant armored warriors are attacking Equestria and other kingdoms with genocidal assaults and rescued the human slaves over time. Those things happens repeatedly, so that ponies around the empire talks about it and so does the surviving refugees from the Space Marine attacks. Those talks were so loud and wide-spread that the human slaves in the Crystal Empire could hear them all. With all the countless talks about humans rising against their slave masters, the slaves has gained the courage to plan and start slave revolts against the Crystal Empire. The armed human slaves have made good progress and manage to win grounds against their slavers, but victory is not certain. The Crystal Guards are about 4000, well armed and well equipped, but the human slave rebels manage to get their hands on proper weapons and their 600 men put up a valiant fight for their lives and freedom. The fight has been going on about a week and the human rebels starts to falter, there were only 56 humans left but they manage to kill alot of those Crystal Guards so that only 1275 remains. The ponies were low of morale and the humans still struggle for their freedom. But later on Prince Shining Armor, ruler of the CrystalEmpire, came along with 6000 more crystal guards to crush the human rebellion. When rallied, the ponies was prepared for a full scale assault to finish those fighting human slaves.

However a few seconds before the Crystal Guards could begin their charge a series of loud booms could be heard and suddenly several of those Space Marine drop pods hit the ground and shook it hard causing several Crystal Guards to lose balance and the human resistance sieze their fighting. All eyes were on those drop pods, when suddenly their large, heavy doors slammed down to the ground and loud barks and screams of war cry's and orders came louder than any men or xeno would have dared in this battle. From those drop pods came several purple armored warriors charged into the ranks of the Crystal Guards and began to destroy without mercy. One of them who is without a helmet shows to be a human woman with a long-white hair and she wields a shining-golden sword screamed with fury that would frighten any living creature, even a full grown dragon.

"Charge forward everyone, we are the Emperor's Children, we will never falter and never fall. Kill them all! For the Emperor! FOR HUMANITY!!!" She shouted and pointed her sword against the Crystal Empire, with that she and her space marines began their mighty charge with all their powers against all their enemies.

The Human rebels couldn't believ what they are looking at right now. One minute the battle was being fought between themselves and their slave masters and now all of a sudden the Space Marines, the very ones who every creature is talking about who also inspired them to fight, entered the fray. It took them a few seconds until they came back to their senses and begin to feel more prideful and encouraged than ever to fight for their freedom.

"Everyone, this is our big chance now! Let's join their charge and free our people! FORWARD!" The leader of the slave rebels shouted as he rallied his companions to charge forward with their newfound courage.

The slave revolt has been turned into an epic battlefield. When the Emperor's Children start engage in combat against the soldiers of the Crystal Empire, Shining Armor could see his army was taking too much losses and those murdering Space Marines who called themselves the Emperor's Children were killing them all with ease. He quickly conjured up a huge magic shield to protect what little soldiers he had left, but that didn't stop the Emperor's Children to keep firing at them and that takes alot of energy from the Crystal prince.

"This is pointless! Everypony retreat to the city!" Shining Armor ordered his sodiers as he sweats out of exhaustion.

"But sire!" One of the Crystal Guard tried to question him.

"NO ARGUING! GO!" Shining Armor shouted and all the Crystal Guards began to run away to the capital city of the Crystal Empire. Shining Armor did all he could to hold up his shield long enough for his surviving soldiers to escape. But the Emperor's Children's weaponry and psyker powers was too much for a single unicorn to hold for long. With the last of his own strength, Shining Armor teleported himself back to the crystal palace where his wife and his daughter is. Right after his teleportation, he fell down unconscious and his world turned black.

A few minutesafter the teleportation of Shinng Armor, the slave rebels made their way towards the legendary space marines. Along with the fighting human resistance also came the human slaves to to meet their saviours.

The Emperor's Children turned their attention to the rebel humans and the leading woman approached them with a prideful smile.

"Your bravery has earned you much honor, did you all know that?" She playfully asked.

"It was thanks to you that we found our hiden courage to fight for our freedom. We really can't thank you enough for all your efforts." The rebel leader said as he admire her.

"Well, you have fought and won your freedom, now leave the rest to us to defend your freedom. We will make sure they can never take it from you again." She said as she began to turn around but was stopped by him.

"Wait, we can still fight! Let us help you." The rebel leader requested.

"If you wish to help, you will escort the other humans to safety. The xenos almost beat you, you all would have been slaves again if it weren't for us or worst... killed." She reminded him, but to be fair it was actually true. The Crystal Guards would have overwhelmed them if the Space Marines didn't show up.

"Beside only we, the Space Marines have the weapons and powers we need to defeat these monsters once and for all. We shall finish them all off while you free all the humans and bring them to safety. Ok?" She requested and in an instant he nobbed in agreement. But before she could move any futher.

"Can I at least know your name please, I'm Klaus Morga." He said and then she turned her face to him with a smile.

"I am Avittia Vitick, Chapter Master of the Emperor's Children, leader of the Space Marines here. We are here to free you all... IN THE NAME OF THE EMOEROR!" She declared as she and her chapter resumed their charge towards the crystal tower/palace.

The Emperor's Children chapter charge forward and in their wake there is a very damaged city with burning houses and a little lines of little streams of blood flow through the streets while others are being executed for the same reason this slaughter starts in the first place. The Crystal palace looked more like a very destroyed guarding tower, in fact half of the tower collapsed because of the firepower and plasma bolts of the Space Marines that are destroying them. The human rebels did what they are requested to do and bring the newly freed slaves out of harms way as the Emperor's Children push forward, killing all crystal ponies in their way (regardless of their age and gender). The majority of the city is in complete ruins, with just little fires left after something obliterated the homes of the crystal ponies that lived there.

The only surviving crystal ponies left are the ones who fleed the empire from the north right and south right side of the city that seems as damaged as the other sides but less corpses. Last but not least, inside the damaged palace there were crystal guards, civilians and then there is the royal family who'es father and mother cast a magic barrier around then all for protection, also holding their daughter. They all have been cornered by the same purple Space Marines who came inside and are now pointing their weapons on them.

"No question siblings, they are the ones. The ruling freaks that enslave our kind in this evil nation." A Space Marine among them spoke.

"How can you all do this!? Humans has never fought us back before, you all shouldn't even have or know how these weapons and armors works! You all are not humans at all!!!" Princess Cadence said in panic and disbelief.

"LIAR!" said a voice behind the Emperor's Children, they all looked where it comes from and it's none other than Chapter Master Avittia Vitick who came along with four space marine librarians.

"Humanity are conquerors of worlds, rulers of stars! It is our righteous destiny to clean this planet away from you monsters! It is the emperor's will to free the human race and transcend into gods of power! Your time has come and now the human race shall conquer the world!!" Avittia Vitick spoke her speech with fierce pride in her voice as the librarians start use their psychic powers to drain the magic from the barrier and all the members of the Emperor's Children chapter aims their weapons on the crystal ponies, ready to fire and kill them all. Princess Cadence starts to panic even more than before, while her husband stood in a fighting stance she looked around trying to find a way for her ponies and her family to escape. She found the window that has the view of the empire's entrance. Once she saw that she knew exactly what to do. Right on the precise second when the barrier died down and the space marines fired, Cadence used her alicorn magic to teleport her family and the other ponies with her away from the palace and to the empire entrance.

Chapter Master Avittia Vitick saw all of that and when her soldiers ceased their firering, she became much more enraged that she half-failed her mission. Free the humans was successful, but killed the slave masters was a failure. She looked at the sky and shouted an angry roar as her targets got away.

*Canterlot at midnight*

The capital city of Equestria, a city on the mountain where the aristocracy of the entire kingdom lives and also where the alicorn princesses who raise the sun and the moon, a such fine and great city and yet it didn't fare any better.

All the tales and rumors about a god-emperor of humanity and the human race's rise to power spread far and wide like wild fire and it has given the human slaves more and more courage to rebel and that is what is happening in Canterlot at midnight. Alot of armed human slaves took anything sharp like knifes, forks and other tools and used them as weapons to kill their masters and then they manage to grab real weapons to rebel against the pony rule over them. They all did it at the same time and took the royal guards of canterlot by surprise. However, they were not organized and they were poorly trained to wield weapons so as soon as Luna's special force, her own royal guards, The Lunar Guards came forth and like the wind they manage to crush human resistance. However, the surviving human resistance manage to escape underground and other dark places in Canterlot to avoid the deadly Lunar Guards. Princess Luna came to the scene to view her guards work and saw how chaotic Canterlot look like.

"Night-Mother, we have crushed the human resistance but some of them have escaped and are now hidding. We are searching for them all but it will take time to find them all." A Lunar Guard officer reported to Luna with a bow.

"Well done Fang, take all the time you need and I'm we ca-" Princess Luna was interrupted by a deadly explosion that came right next to her.

Right after that came more explosion that hit and killed many of her Lunar Guards. Only this time she could see streams of smoke that shows her where they comes from. She and the others looked up at the night sky and saw several space marine thunderhawks gunships along with stormtalons, stormravens and storm eagles coming from the night sky and starts firing on the entire city and destroys most of it. Luna saw how many guards she lost so the ordered them all to retreat to the castle for safe distance. But while they all run, Luna looked behind her and saw those flying transports landing down and open their heavy doors for those dark armored space marines to come out from. Luna decided to confront those beasts right now. She stood her ground and shouted her Canterlot voice.

"WHO IN TARTARUS ARE YOU ALL!? WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO COME AND INVADE OUR HOME, KILLING OUR SUBJECTS AND BRING DESTRUCTION TO US!?" Princess Luna asked so loud you could hear echoes all the way to Ponyville. But that didn't effected those dark armored Space Marines as one of them came towards the night Princess.

"We are the defenders of humanity. We are the Emperor's loyal nightmares and his empire's crushing fists. Every single one of these warriors are ready to fight and die for our mission in this cold and unforgiving darkness. We are... THE NIGHT LORDS!!" He yelled as he starts shooting at the moon princess. But before it could hit her she flew up and backward towards safety. Even though he missed, he could at least now go on to work.

Among those thunderhawks came their Chapter Master out.

"This is Chapter Master Colene Moniee to all members of the Night Lords! All techmarines build teleporters to send as many human slaves you can find out of here! Scouts go and search around the city for humans and bring them all to the teleporters and the techmarines! The rest of you, destroy this filthy city." Ordered the Chapter Master as the Night Lords advanced forward while having air support.
