Horatius's eyes opened, and the space marine slowly rose up. He remarked something of about his condition: he was in a cell. A strange cell, with small chains around a few bars and a wooden door.
He raised his arms and herd a "crack". He looked down, only to find that he had broken the chains around his hands.
He started to search for his equipment. He had his silencer pistol, his power sword and a combi grav-plasma handrifle. He missed his storm shield and power lance. He traced back the signature of his power lance back to a room a few meters above him on the left.
He decided to break free and demand explications to the leaders of this Feudal world. So he pushed the door open and walked through the long corridors of prison cells. He quickly trekked up the stairs and up into the first floor.
As he arrived, his thermal indicators identified three non human signatures around his equipment and two outside.
The space marine drew his silencer pistol and with two shots he killed the two guards who were cleary xeno in a second and utter silence.
He entered the room and gave a clear gesture to the xeno studying his equipment: " move away from my stuff". As the xeno executed the order, Horatius walked to the table and retrieved his power lance and storm shield.
The Emperor's Children took his combi grav-plasma pistol in his right hand and a power sword in his other hand. he walked over to the door, aware of the ten xeno waiting outside. He raised his power sword, activated it, and swung a blow as he stepped outside. The sword cut through the armor and flesh of several ponies and Horatius finished the job with a graviton bolt, which made the ponies crumble under there own weight.
Horatius advanced further into the castle, now with a clear goal: revenge on the xeno and a quest back to the Imperium.
(Canterlot throne room)
Princess Celestia and Luna were busy talking about political matters as they were interrupted by a Guardspony who adressed them with a new, terrible issue.
"princess" Glowing Aurore yelled " the prisonner has escaped!!!! "
Princess Celestia snapped to attention to this unexpected news and immeadiatly ordered:
" Send a guarnison! I want him alive!!"
She wispered to Luna " His magic is strong, maybe even stronger then us. While Unicorns and Alicorns all have a strong connection to the magic of harmony, this individual has a conection to something Bigger. Something far more powerfull."
"Chaos??" Luna wispered back
"I don't think so" Celestia replied "Even discord's magic wasn't that powerful.
(Horatius's Location)
Horatius stomped through the corridors of canterlot, storm shield in hand. He killed all that dared challenge him, for he didn't have ammunition to spend on a few scattered cowards.
His auspex detected a hundred figures moving towards his position. He flinged a few grenades in their direction, and kneeled behind his storm shield, activating his power lance. He also activated his sono-speakers on his backpack and played combat music that would confuse the xeno.(Even before the horus heresy, The emperor's Children legion Loved music)
The xeno detachment arrived just in the middle of the grenades when they exploded, sending gore and blood over the nice paintings of the castle walls.
He walked upwards toward the throne room when a beem struck him the leg, doing no damage but was enough to annoy the space marine. He turned around and faced five hundred Guardspony in formation.
"guess I underestimated the damn Xeno" Horatius muttered.
He retreated into the throne room, under the cover of his storm shield.
He closed the heavy doors, locked them and turned around, expecting to find the ruller of the place.
A white equine stood before him.
"what do you want" said Celestia
Horatius was supprised to hear perfect low gothic, but he didn't show it and simply retorted.
" answers"
"wrong " Celestia said with a smirk " You give me answers".
Celestia was equally confused when the thing before her laughed.
"confident fool"
It was a Long time since Horatius had to use his psyker powers, but his fury made the warp around him more docile and easy to use.
Horatius fired is Combi grav- plasma at Celestia's shield, which made it crumble. Next, He blocked her attack with his shield, her ray attack barrely enough to scratch the paint of the shield. next The space marine forced her back with the use of warp fire, and he used the opportunity to seize his power sword and charge the alicorn. his attack was blocked by celestia's enchanted blade, and Horatius knew the fight would only take a few minutes. with a mighty blow, his power sword cut right through celestia's magic shield, and he swung his blade near her neck. Celestia dodged the attack, and tried to do the same, but Horatius sent her flying with his shield.
He charged again at the weakened alicorn, and tried to strike her, but was blocked by her blade. Having enough, The space marine cut through the enchanted blade and seveared the horn from Celestia's head, causing her great pain.
Her magic ran free and escaped her now severed horn, partly absorbed by Horatius. Some managed to open a portal right behind the Emperor's Children. In a show of grim determination, Celestia pushed herself and her opponent in the portal. the suprised space marine accidently cast a litle warp energy into the portal, making it grow and stabilise in time and space.
The two landed in a desert, far away from equestria. Horatius was the first to get up, followed by Celestia.
Horatius walked towards the large mountain in the distance, hoping to get signs of civilisation.
"Hey you !!" Celestia yelled" you can't just leave me hear!!!!"
Celestia started to get up and walk behind the towering structure.
"Hey!!!!!!!!!" Celestia yelled
horatius grumbled and turned around. He walked over to Celestia and said.
"We are on our one now, and we ned each other to survive. I suggest you address me with respect, starting with my name Horatius. What is your name?"
"Celestia. Princess Celestia."
