"Twilight!"

Barely being able to hear her friend's voice, the princess of friendship held onto her rain hat while the winds howled around with water endlessly pouring down.

"Rainbow Dash any luck?!"

"We're not making a dent in this storm! It's only getting stronger!" Rainbow shouted flying over to the winds of the storm.

"Well, I sent a letter to Princess Celestia she hasn't responded back yet so I think we may need to wait out this storm," Twilight shouted almost using her royal Canterlot voice to speak over the storm.

"Twilight I might not be on the weather team anymore but I know a bad storm when I see one! There is no 'waiting it out' this storm is not natural! We need to stop this storm before it gets even worse!" Rainbow Dash shouted while the thunder boomed in the clouds above.

"Then what do you think we should do Rainbow?! We tried everything! This Storm isn't like any I know about!" Twilight stated while Rainbow turned to another bolt of lighting. "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Rainbow do you know where Discord is?"

(Meanwhile)

Sally lifted a pair of weights while Tempest was running on the treadmill in their small personal gym, it may be raining outside but it wasn't going to stop the duo from partaking in their daily route. Besides it's not like they could do anything else, the guards shortly after the fire went around shouting over the storm with the help of magical vocal spells to inform the citizens of ponyville to wait inside until this storm passes.

By the looks of it might be a while.

Dropping the weights after finishing her set the Landshark gave a huff before grabbing the towel around her neck and whipping off the sweat from her face. The two watched while the light in the room flickered as the magical crystal powering their house was disturbed by the lighting from the storm causing the two to look at one another.

"Damn is it just me or is it getting worse?" Sally asked to which Tempest stopped running and jumped on the side of the treadmill.

Taking a breath for a moment she reached a hand to the curtain near the machine and peaked outside giving a nod.

"Yeah it's getting really bad out there wonder what caused it to get so bad," Tempest stated while Sally pulled down her towel from her face.

"Probably the weather team screwed something up," Sally answered causing Tempest to nod.

"But wouldn't the weather team have dealt with this by now?"

"I wouldn't know they never contacted me back about my application," Sally joked to which the dark purple pony rolled her eyes.

Giving her famous sharp tooth smile the Landshark then reached down and picked up her water bottle before taking a drink. A sudden lighting boom caused Sally to almost choke on the water and Tempest flinched causing her to get off the treadmill and away from the window.

"You good?" Sally noticed Tempest's reaction.

"Yeah. Just give me a second," Sitting down from Sally the unicorn held the side of her head.

Taking another drink Sally turned and jumped at the sight of Krieg standing in the doorway to the workout room.

"SWEET LADY OF THE LAKE!" Dropping her water bottle with Tempest now notices Krieg.

Sally panted after Krieg's sudden surprise before taking a breath.

"Good goddess Krieg don't do that," The Landshark chuckled. "How long have you been standing there?"

"About two standard minutes," Krieg answered. "Amber wanted me to tell you that breakfast is ready,"

Krieg walked back in with the two behind him when Amber noticed the two and she smiled.

"Morning ladies... got both your usuals ready," The batpony stated while placing both plates of food that Krieg didn't recognize, going back to the couch Krieg sat down in front of the 'coffee table' that had his gear laid out upon it.

"Krieg you hungry?" Amber asked to which the guardsman shook his head in response this caused Sally to turn towards him from her stool.

"Come on it's the most important meal of the day tough guy and after what happened I say you deserve some of Amber's famous pancakes," Sally said to the korpsman who simply turned back to his gear not noticing Tempest shaking her head towards the shark Abhuman.

Grabbing a cleaning cloth Krieg began to finish cleaning the head of his trusty pickaxe.

It hadn't been a long time since he cleaned his gear but after he arrived in this strange world he decided it was best to make sure everything was ready for the tasks it was made for. Setting down the ax on the table he began to do another equipment check of his wargear and equipment that wasn't any he was wearing.

• Lucius Pattern Mark 22c semi-automatic with standared shells and altnrate shell types.
• Lucius Pattern laspistol with three extra power packs not including the one in the weapon.
• Three Siege Pattern melta charges
• Explosive trigger and wire roll (with how much wire he didn't currently know)
• Bolt cutters
• Pick ax
• Entrenchment tool
• A single Frag grenade
• Two Krak grenades
• And his basic guardsman supply kit

There were a few things missing from his gear but most of it was on his Hades breaching drill which was destroyed during what he thought was going to be his final stand in the emperor's name. He silently prayed that the machine god would forgive his actions in destroying a tool that was gifted to him by the adapts of mars to do his task in cleansing the world of the heretical filth upon the hive world of the Imperium.

He was going to miss that glorious piece of machinery.

"What this?" Snapping his hand out Krieg grabbed Amber's wrist and reached for his entrenchment tool.

Staring at her all were silent for a moment, looking at Amber for a moment who held a look of slight fear on her face which caused Krieg to sign and let her go.

"Apologizes," Krieg had to admit that was a little uncalled for even for a guardsman of Krieg like himself.

What was worse was he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings, which would cost him his life if some heretic or xeno would try to sneak up on him. He rather die with a weapon and fight than be killed by some assassin coward that would stab him in the back.

"It's fine I shouldn't have reached for your stuff," Amber chuckled to which Sally knocked her fist against Krieg's helmet.

"What's with you, dude? She was just looking at whatever all this stuff is," Sally pointed out.

Krieg have a chance to answer before the lights went out causing Tempest to hiss.

"Damn it the crystal blew out... I knew this was going to happen,"

(Basement)

Tempest walked down the stairs while the light coming from Krieg's chest plate lit the way for her, the moment she noticed the basement floor was flooded caused tempest to groan.

"Not again," Tempest got down into half of a foot of water before Krieg followed her. "That's probably one thousand in repairs right there,"

Shaking her head the unicorn walked over to a strange device on the wall before pulling out a burnt out crystal she then reached for a box that was on one of the shelves. Placing it higher up she pulled out a fresh blue crystal before placing it into the brass box causing the lights to flicker on upstairs.

"Alright, where is the- Krieg what are you doing?" Tempest turned to see the house guest looking at the walls of the basement before turning to her.

"I can fix this ma'am,"

"Wait like right now?" Tempest asked to which Krieg nodded. "But it's pouring down it's going to be impossible for you to fix all this during this storm,"

This caused him to freeze in place before turning towards her, he wasn't one to smile but under his gasmask, he had an amused smile at her comment.

"Krieg?"

Going up the stairs Tempest raced after her.

"Wait! Before you do anything whip your boots off before you track more water in,"

Author's Note

The first chapter for this year (of this story)

Sorry, that it is a little on the shorter side but I thought it was best to finally get this plot moving even if it was a 'filler', I had actually had different plans for this story but they never got anywhere and didn't have it make sense.

So that is why I had writer's block for a while there but I think you guys will like what I have planned.

I'm still surprised though no one made the connection with the storm.(No it's not the stormking)
Now here's to Krieg fortifying the house.
