Aries was reaching his limit, the foul xeno known as Pinkie Pie may not have aimed a cannon at him yet, but the endless barrage of pointless questions was bringing the bite of the Nails to dangerous heights.

"When'syourbirthday,what'syourfavoritecake,what'syourfavoritecolor,isitred,Ithinkitwouldbered,doyouthinkitwouldbered,causeIthinkitwouldbered,doyouhaveanyfriends,doyouwannamakenewfriends,doyouwannabemyfriend..." on and on and on and on until finally, Aries could see a large city roughly three kilometers away with a castle built into the side of a mountain.

Rainbow Dash turned her head away from her conversation with the others and finally saw her energetic friend harassing the now trembling World Eater, but as she inhaled to tell Pinkie to stop, Aries did something that even a daredevil like her considered a little bit drastic.

Pinkie Pie was flung from her perch on the space marine's shoulder as Aries smashed himself through the wall of the train, ripping through it like it was paper.

"ARIES!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted as she zipped over to the hole in the train to see if he was all right, only to stare, mouth agape, as the demon slayer caught up to the hole and then passed it...on foot.

Aries ran as fast as his super human body and performance enhancing power armor would let him, the impact of his feet against the grassy plains giving but the faintest relief as he passed the locomotive and kept on going.

Aries heard a sound closing in on him, looking to the side brought him face to muzzle with Rainbow Dash, the arrogant alien warrior giving him an apologetic look. "I'm sorry about my friend, I told her not to overwhelm you again and I'll keep a closer eye on her in the future."

Aries nodded his head enough that she could see the movement and kept on running.

"Not much of a talker, are you?" Rainbow Dash prodded.

"I am familiar with conversing with others, but your 'friend' needs some practice." Aries responded.

Aries barely recognized Rainbow Dash's expression as one of surprised humor before she disappeared behind him, stunned into stopping until she let out a long, loud laugh.

In a few seconds, Rainbow Dash caught up with him again, still snickering and smiling. "Yeah, Pinkie tends to get overexcited when around new people, you see, she's made it her mission in life to make friends with everycreature she meets, and trust me, as soon as she figures out how, she will make friends with you."

Aries doubted that, but didn't comment, and instead pressed forward.

Seeing that the conversation was over, Rainbow Dash smiled mischievously, which did not go unnoticed by Aries.

The thought that the xeno plotted betrayal crossed his mind, but he couldn't see her being that open about it, however, the smirk's meaning became known as he noticed that the alien was gradually pulling ahead of him. "Hmph, challenge accepted."

Aries sprinted hard, they had a single kilometer to go, and though he knew this alien was capable of outrunning him even if he were piloting a Thunderhawk, he was determined to represent humanity's finest warriors, if for no other reason than to bring faint relief to the Nails before a meeting with the planet's rulers.

Aries pulled a slight lead that he retained until they made it to the train station, Aries had to grind to a halt while the alien simply halted with practiced ease. "Man, you're not even winded, are ya?"

Aries turned to the xeno. "As if you had gotten here as fast as you could."

Rainbow Dash laughed at that. "Yeah, but I couldn't move half that fast on hoof, so I'll keep title of fastest pegasus and you can have the title of fastest, uh, you called yourself a 'World Eater', right?"

Aries nodded. "Yes, that is the name of my legion, the 12th legion of adeptus astartes or 'space marines' if you prefer."

From here Aries and Rainbow had a friendly chat until the train arrived. Rainbow veered away from the important matters, stating that she'll hear about them at the meeting.

Aries told her of the adeptus astartes and their purpose to rule and serve the imperium of man.

Rainbow told him of the three pony tribes, the pegasai, the unicorns,the earth ponies, and their allies, the dragons, the griffins, the yaks, the changelings, and the hyppogriffs.

Aries only got as far as space marines in general and what separated them from normal humans, which were unexplained.

Rainbow only got as far as each race's appearance and abilities, which Aries had asked for.

At last the train caught up to them, Pinkie Pie was the first one out, she apologized to Aries...a little too much, Rainbow Dash put a hoof in her mouth and swore her to silence, for now.

The others arrived soon after, and the group made their way to the court of the royal sisters, the journey wasn't too long, as Pinkie Pie had joined the rest of the group to hear Rainbow Dash's retelling of what Aries had told her, which she exaggerated as much as was possible. (not that much)

Aries trailed behind, observing the city, more particularly, how it's citizens made the residents of Ponyville seem courageous, fleeing and screaming as if he were attacking them.

On more than one ooccasion had a xeno dressed like a law enforcer or a guard attempted to confront him only for Twilight to appear in between in a flash of witch-light and send them off.

Aries looked back and realized that the beasts he had encountered in the forest would pose a very significant threat to these four foot peace loving equines, which in it's own way, made Ponyville akin to Catachan.

Eventually, they made their way to the castle, Aries would give credit where credit was due, the castle guards never even flinched, though he could hear their elevated heartbeats and assumed the fact that he accompanied Princess Twilight was the only reason they had kept their composure.

They made their way to the throne room, the door was before them on the other side of a long hallway, the large stain-glass windows portraying still images that Aries recognized as past exploits, as the 12th legion had similar portraits on their ships' halls.

Twilight opened the door with her magic, and while Aries immediately recognized Princess Luna, and determined that the taller white alien was her sister, Celestia, his attention immediately focused on one of the visiting rulers.

It was bipedal, possessing wings and horns and scepter with a glowing crimson stone, only it's sky-blue scales kept him from believing it to be a Bloodletter.

Aries recalled Rainbow Dash's description of dragons and put two and two together, he may have pondered it for awhile, but to an astartes, a while if less than a second, and so he was able to look away before his suspicion was noticed, however, he doubt anyone would judge him, as they were all doing the same with far less tact.

The dragon and young avian lion seemed impressed, the rest were having mixed reactions, with the only one that Aries couldn't read being the large bovine that had the fashion sense of a Space Wolf.

The green insectoid equine and the avian equine seemed to react in the same manner as the ponies, while the ancient avian lion and black insectoid equine stiffened as if preparing for a fight, cute.

"You must be Aries, on behalf of Equestria, I thank you for aiding my sister in defending our people." Announced Celestia.

"This war is mine to fight, if my enemies wish to destroy you, then I will stop them." Aries replied.

"Then shall we discuss how to end this war as quickly as possible?" Celestia said, beckoning to a seat at the table in front of the two thrones that would put him across from the royal sisters with the black Changeling on his left and the young griffin on his right.

He took his seat, the ponies and dragon that accompanied him taking seats reserved for them as well, and the council began. "While we awaited your arrival, my sister explained that the demons came from your nightmare, you were surrounded by them and they were numberless, she also told us that you described them as incarnations of War, Rage and Slaughter, is there anything else you can tell us about them?" Celestia asked, and every alien present looked to him...but he looked to Luna.

"Is that all you saw of my dreams?" Aries asked, her reaction answered for her.

"I felt as though that was too personal for me to speak of without your permission, am I right in assuming that they were possessed by these demons?" Luna's answer confused all present.

"No...they were not, I thank for keeping it to yourself." Aries stated and immediately changed the topic.

"I dream of these creatures because I was captured by them and forced to fight for my life for countless years, I do not know how much time has passed, but in that time, the mad fools gloated to me with arrogance, told me of their heinous orgins, their plans for the universe, and how they fight." Aries explained, earning a few gasps and looks of pity.

Twilight looked like she was about to voice to their sympathy, but Aries brought to silence her and continued. "They are Ethereal beings, and as such they cannot enter the physical plane outside of two methods, possession of mortals, or being summoned through blood sacrifices, it is uncommon for a small group of Daemons to do the former and then perform the latter to bring the invasion, I have discussed this with Princess Twilight, but the best course of action is for Princess Luna to continue overseeing the dreams of her subjects and look out for possible possessions and perhaps acquire assistants to counter a greater work load, but in case of the worst-case scenario, I believe the best course of action would be allowing me to train your armies in fighting these enemies in all out war."

The air grew thick at those last three words, Aries expected as much. "They can't be that bad, I mean I beat up a whole bunch of them all by myself."

Aries turned to Rainbow Dash, she was clearly bluffing, her worry was evident to the astartes, but she had succeeded in calming her fellows.

"Yaks can beat any demon that ponies can beat, Yaks best at fighting." said the Yak prince in an accent that made orks sound articulate.

"Gotta agree with Rutherford, Rainbow Dash may be an awesome pony, but she's still a pony, no offense." said the dragon lord.

"...You are wrong." Aries said to Rainbow Dash, causing the others to look at him for an explanation.

"...You know this, don't you?" This he said to Luna, who had seen his mind.

"If you are referring to your dream, I cannot be sure how accurate it was, you didn't appear to be in the best state of mind." Luna explained, and Aries couldn't fault that, the Nails had him in their grasp at that time.

"Can you look again, see into my mind, and this time, show them my memories?" Aries asked.

Luna looked shocked, but she nodded. "If you wish to show them your memories, and they wish to see them, I can make it so."

"You do it Gilda, tell me anything that's important and skip the sappy stuff, the only dreams that interest me are my own." said the elder griffin to the younger who groaned at the task.

"Uh, Thorax, I think you should sit this out, you're not built like I am." said the black changeling to the green one who nodded.

With this, the group left the table, and allowed it to be removed by servants before making circle around Aries and Luna, the elder griffin and Thorax remaining behind, along with Fluttershy and Rarity.

Luna closed her eyes and channeled her magic, when she opened her eyes, they glowed like moonlight, this glow exploded from her eyes, first enveloping Aries, and then the circle of xenos.
