"I have seen worlds burn and crushed nations underfoot, torn down the idols of false gods and slaughtered kings like cattle. Presume not to order me, tiny man, for I am war, and you are no more than chaff before the scythe..."

—Venerable Targas of the Executioners to General von Litzner of the Jantine Cataphracts

(Four weeks later)
(Before the manufactorum)

In four short weeks pony hill was transformed into a large bunker looking building as no one dared to stop the creator of the large metal factory. For he alone cut down a entire part of the everfree within a single night with only his ax as the animals that lived there were driven out. As large base of steel and brass held strong no one dared to enter, but those that were thieves and the like thinking they would find gold or jewels we never seen again. As the nights would go by the large clouds of red smoke that came form the iron bunker never stopped, The rules of the equestria (Still Tia and luna), princess of friendship, and the two rulers of the crystal empire came and made a base outside the factory like building.


(Note: There are no blue berries and I just got the game finally! hopefully I can start up a game host so I can play along with you guys one day!)

The five sat on one side of the large table as the pillar and the princess of the dragon had decided to help too for one of her friends went missing that vanished during one of Sandiel's purging. The group was siting as they began to plan for there next move and what to do... this was a threat none of them went against, star swirl spoke a hand on his beard.

"This Sandiel from both the reports and the princess eyes this is a threat that is dangerous and unknown," The wise man said as stonehoof spoke to his old ally.

"Aye he is a strange one, not even I can cut down a entire part of the forest in a single night," The old viking pony stated.

"Hes also fast," Celestia said as they turned to her. "I've only seen him a few time but those that I do he is like a red blurr which is surprising due to his height but that can explain how he built this 'factory' of his in four short weeks,"

The old man nodded.

"And from what I put together he only targets on some kind of list and no many are on the list but something tells me he is readying for war," Star swirl said in though. "But for what I do not know,"

"Maybe one of his targets is a lord or something from another nation?" They all turned to ember. "What?"

Twilight just smiled.

"Oh nothing you just put up a far point but for who is a good as any guess," She cupped her chin.

As therories and other ideas spreed the flaps to the tent open as rainbow dash popped in causing the group to turn to her as she held a look of suprise.

"Is something wrong rainbow?" Luna asked.

She shook her head as she pointed with her thumb to outside.

"He's out and he's just...how should I put it,"

The grey beard looked at the daredevil before speaking.

"What child what is he doing?" He asked.

Rainbow nodded before speaking.

"He's just standing there,"


As the dreadnaught was standing before the camp and manufactorum as a group of red being sat in pray as he held his oversize ax in both hands with his head down in pray. This shocked the group as they walked forward as the smell of copper and burn metal entered here noses as the dreadnought raised his head as he moved his spear to his side embedding it into the earth with one hand.

"Hello and welcome. You are standing on the holy ground of the manufactorum of adeptus mechanicus what beings you here?" The robotic voice coming from the large giant.

Twilight narrowed her eyes when she pointed to him.

"YOU!" She stated in her gold battle armor as the main six, pillars, princesses, her brother, and ember were all dressed for combat. "We have come to bring you to justice golem,"

"What do you mean? I have been brought before justice and her I am," It spoke its green eyes glowing hot. "If I hadn't been brought before justice I would have not died that day,"

"Died? What are you saying monster you were brought back from the dead? Than who would bring a abomination like you?" Star swirl asked.

The men in red moved as there master was called a monster, the ponies went wide eyed as they saw the being before him...a hybrid of pony and creature alike with steel.

But the giant held out a hand to them as they stopped as there strange crossbow like weapons glowed blue as there eyes as well.

"Forgive them they don't take well to names star swirl so watch your tongue now for your answer. Death itself brought me back but not as I was but as what I am before you, I am both living and dead, the grey of life, and I death's vengeance made physical," He pointed forward to the pillars. "I was brought back to pay the ones who cheated death a visit,"

"You know what I speak of star swirl do you think would overlook you cheating death to give yourself and the rest of your alias immortality?" He spoke as the old man took a step back, this caused the pillars to turn to the old pony who was began to sweat bullets.

Flash then spoke up.

"Star swirl...what did you do?" The commander of old asked.

The old pony held his hat from the shame of the past but didn't speak, flash then grabbed him by the collar of his robes and shook him.

"WHAT IN GODDESS NAME CAUSE YOU TO HAVE US BE TARGETED BY ONE OF DEATH'S CREATURES!" Flash shouted as stone hoof pulled him off.

"Don't just lay the blame on him Flash Magus," With that he stopped died in the arms of stone hoof, the red golem then pointed his oversized ax at them. "You all are guilty against crimes of death and the Omnissiah,"

The eldar next to star swirl took a few steps forward.

"What crime?"

He then held out its large hand to one of the hooded beings this one was...different it wore black robes and the white cogs pattern was red. It glowed white than blue as if...

Star swirl went wide eyed.

"NO! You dead,"

Darkness poured from the Skiarrii ranger's coat as the symbol on its chest was held with pride as its power sword pointed to them.

"Yes I have returned!" The one of the threats of equistria was before them in a metal body...

The shadow...

The group then got into a fighting stance at the enemy of the light was standing before them, but how was unknown to them. Sandiel placed its large hand on the pony of shadow's new body, that for once was his very own.

"But how are you here demon!" Star swirl shouted.

Before anyone can say a word the golem spoke with his machine voice.

"He is no daemon, but a lost soul of the past that you used to throw into another world and that is not the reason I brought him back. If he was a demon you would have sent a demon into another way without a second though what the other world would be like for that is a act of heresy and why you have fallen into the Omnissiah's eyes as heretics," The cold machine spoke in its soulless voice. "I had to do acts of heresy to return him back under death's blessing,"

"But what body does it hold? A slave that you took for your own?" Luna asked remember her past as nightmare moon and knowing the feeling of being trapped. "What pour soul did you force upon that creature's dark touch,"

The golem turned to her and spoke one word.

"None..." He then pulled the hood of the dark 'ranger''s hood back revaling a oddly shaped head that wasn't pony or any creature that they knew of, it was flat and skull like with tubes go though out it. "This body is pure...a true Omnissiah's follower is what he is now,"

The ranger nodded as his dark enegry was more gentle than it was since he last meet the ponies.

"Though I'm not as powerful as I once was I am one with the Omnissiah once I understood the weakness of the flesh that you meat bags wear. Now the very thought of me bounding myself to one of you disgust's me even now," His hand with his melta pistol pointed forward. "Be warned I may lack my most of magical powers this new body of mine is much powerful than a earth pony and these weapons that I was blessed with will allow me to stand up next to my brothers as there equal,"

The rest of he red wearing rangers pointed there arc rifles for ward, as that happened the very ground shook as large metal tubes came from the ground as they began to unfold. Reaching up to 20 feet tall the all were in a fence that held behind them that sparked with electricity they shot power to the arc rifles powering them it they were going to fight.

The giant with suprising speed spun his staff and pointed it at the group.

"Come quietly and face a fair treatment or fight to the death were you will become servo units to serve your crimes for the rest of time...your move,"


Author's Note

I have to admit having to bold sandiel's voice lines are hard but he is a dreadnought and I did put this on myself. So yeah I did space marine 40,000 for the 360 and I have to say...ITS FUCKING FUN! (Though there is no way to get combi-weapons) and ontop of getting one of the best warhammer games out in the market I also got a (old) external drive for my xbox slim that I'm taking apart to use its hard drive so I can play both fallout 3 and fallout nv WITH DLCs.

Let teamheadkick do the thing:

With that I bid you farewell (for now) with a fellow 'dreadnought'
