A few hours after the fright

“Ugh....note to self never push inferno....it doesn’t end well for anyone...MY EYES!” Fang fell off the couch he was laying on, covering his eyes as he was blinded by the bright light of a beyond powerful warp presence. The feeling Fang would rethink of to this pain was a flash bang going off in a dark room or sunlight after a long night of drinking. “By the gods I will give a ship to whoever turns off that bloody light!” Fang held his hands to his face, as he tried his best to adjust to the new light.

As he sat on the floor he could hear a door opening, looking up and through the light he could see a black void in the light. “Hardic! Thank khorne, the light is trying to kill me.” Fang got up and quickly hugged his feral friend, not caring for the pain of the null collar. “Friend Fang is okay?” Hardic ask as he pushed Fang off.

“Yeah...ugh my eyes are killing me, I miss my normal ones, where the hell are we?”

“Talking horses took us to tree made of crystal, you were sleeping and got put on couch.”

“Ugh couldn’t they leave me outside, okay well where are they?.”

Before Hardic could reply two guards rounded the door and looked at the two humans, a bit of fear could be seen behind their eyes as one of them spoke. “Ah it is....good to see you’re awake, princess Twilight and Luna would like to see you in the crystal map room.” The guard said somewhat stumbling over his words as the two humans nodded a d started following.

Within the map room

“And then Hardic just tore into that hydra like it was nothing, he was all like. AAAAAAWWWWWW!” Dash yelled in a imitation of Hardic war cry, Fluttershy flinched at that the others simple looked at her. “What? You can’t tell me what those two did wasn’t cool.”

“Cool? Dash they killed a Hydra....they killed a hydra by themselves....by themselves.” Twilight said as she paste around the room remembering how it would normal take full guards units, or the six of them to normal drive one off. “Oh Celesta what are we going to do!? We can’t just let them go free they might burn down the country side! They might burn down the kingdom!” Twilight started having a panic attack as she tried to composed herself.

“They did save the town....set fire to block and burned a few yards worth of grass away but over all they did save us....” Rarity said as she padded her friend of the back.

“Never the lest they can’t say here if that is how they react in “self defense” I don’t want to find out if they get mad and start attacking.” Luna said, looking at the crystal map that had two unknown symbols on it. “And what are those marks, I’ve never seen the map make these before.” As the ponies talked among themselves, the doors open and the two humans walked into the room, as they did Fang right hand and Hardic chest started glowing reviling the mark of chaos undivided and khorne.

“That’s new....” Fang said looking at his hand then at Hardic chest, looking up both Fang and Hardic were confused when they saw their marks on the map over a mountain.
“So are you guys planing on send us to prison or....”

“No! No no no no!” Twilight got up and quickly went to the two humans. “We are not planning anything bad, you two are safe! Completely safe! Nothing is happening!”

The two humans looked at the clearly worried Princess, Fang could tell she was telling the truth and smiled wanting to have fun with her. “Oh I would hope not, you know twilight back on my home world we would often do something to show that we trust someone.”

“Oh yes! What is it I would be more then happen to show you that we are doing nothing wrong!”

Fang stepped up to twilight smiling behind his balaclava, he looked into twilight eyes. “Back on my world people making deals will often finalize them with a kiss.~”

Twilight face turned a deep red at that before Hardic smacked Fang upside the back of the head. The ponies head a soft smack as Fang dropped to a knee. “By the gods! Hardic what was that for!?”

Fang turned to look at Hardic as the ponies could see the back of Fang’s balaclava growing a red stain on it. “No making ponies red, we had job.”

“Ugh....can’t I have a little fun?” Fang rubbed the back of his head feeling the skin regrowing were Hardic pealed it off with his slap.

“Sorry just having fun, but yes I trust you I was just wondering what is with the map.” Fang looked at twilight who seemed to have wonder off to a corner.

“This is the crystal map, it shows were the element of harmony are needed but it is showing these unknown marks when you appeared.” Luna said as the two humans walked up.

“Why red lady mark here?” Hardic ask as Fang shrugged.

“I guess this map wants us to go here then and what?”

“I do not know the map never tells us what is wrong, only who need to go, tho I will be going with you.” Luna said looking at Fang. “You’ll need a guide and given what happened today, someone need to make sure you don’t destroy the country side.”

“So be it tho we still need to get our supplies your sister said something they will be waiting here?” Luna nodded handing him a scroll that allow fang to get whatever supplies he will need for this mission, Fang smiled as he saw basically a blank check with Celesta’s name on it.

“But it’s late now and most of the ponies have started repairing the damages and returning home, so best you do your shopping in the morning.”

“Ugh, I hate waiting. Fine, so what are we going to do till then?” Fang asked as he started looking over the map, his Cortex Implants kicking in and recording the information. Scanning, downloading, storing the information inside its micro cogitators, the Cortex Implant started copying the data and overlapping the map with Fang’s military training and tactical possibilities. Generating potential hideouts for cult cells, smuggling lines, and the best tactical locations that he will need to need to secure and hold if he had to go to war.

Fang shook his head and blinked a few times to clear his mind, he could hear the voices of the ponies talking to him but the Cortex Implants blocked out the unneeded sounds.
“Fang, Fang, are you okay? You been staring intensely at the map, you okay?” Twilight looked little worried at the human he seemed to have zoned out for a bit.

“I’m fine, well if we are going to be stuck here for the night I guess I can finally do some maintenance on my gear.”

“Oh yes, your stuff is inside the basement. You and Hardic will be staying in the guess wing, tho if you don’t mind I would like to come with you. Your equipment is so strange I would like to study it.”

Fang looked at twilight, thinking to himself “so far she‘s been acting like the tech priest..... heretek, always wanting to learn something new and poke what she doesn’t understand, but why? She may be a xeno but they should know what we are, humanity has touched every part of the galaxy. The warp uses mostly demons and humans, yet they don’t what we are. Well the xenos don’t, that lord of change does, I need to look into this before I do anything dumb.”

Fang stared into her eyes for a bit before smiling. “Sure twilight, I had a feeling you were going to ask. Tho I will be asking my own questions as well, wouldn’t be right if I told you everything and got nothing back.” Twilight nodded as Luna looked at Fang.
“And I will be joining you, I have my own questions.”

“Is this going to be a questioning session or interrogation session?”

“Questioning, you save my ponies. For that I am thankful, tho I shall not lie. You are a unknown threat, I can not fully trust you till I can understand you better.” The other ponies looked a bit shocked at the bluntness of luna’s words.

“Well then that makes two of us, now I’m about to raid you kitchen for some food and we can go down to the basement together.“
