Chaos Undivided

{Tzeentch Is Here, Get Popcorn}

The moment Shaker was back in the Materium once more, we found ourselves feeling the connection to our new servant, it wasn’t as strong as we felt it could be, considering it’s split among us four, it was still powerful.

My mind wandered to the idea of how much power would I gain if she had just been my servant, but unlike the more selfish original Tzeentch, I knew that was a very slippery slope that would’ve led us all to infighting, and I had already established early on how I didn’t want that, and it wouldn’t be hard for my siblings to agree on that front. Since we aren’t going to fight over our first follower and first psyker, from what I gathered from the nods to each other, it was clearly not an issue of contention.

...Of course, that left the elephant in the Warp.

“Okay, so first things first, why are psykers appearing only now exactly? I get already that our power might be how that one was a bit too volatile, but isn’t the Warp connected to souls and thoughts? Unicorns are not psykers by design like the Eldar but they can clearly become them, so why hasn’t this happened before, why is the idea of the Warp so new to her, why does our studious Guard’s memories speak of no history of psychic warriors or witches like Psykers before us?” Khorne asked bluntly.

“I may actually have… a couple theories, on that front.” I said hesitantly, though I suspect the others might have the same.

“Well, it’d be more that there’s two possibilities here, the first one is that before we arrived there was no such thing as the Warp in this universe.” Nurgle suggested.

“Of course such a thing is debunked, there isn’t a limit to the Warp Space, there is literally a psyker-formed wall around this system, like we’re in an enclosed Webway network, possibly of Aeldari make.” I explained.

“Most likely because they don’t care for a race of magical creatures that can alter reality already and receive visions without use of the Warp, being at play in the larger universe… which means only one thing.” Slaanesh added, followed by me bringing up the conclusion.

“Indeed, this system was completely sealed to Warp presence and energies, even those that aren’t aligned with us, they could’ve been pinging the Warp unconsciously without ever getting a ping back, and when we sent a massive burst of Psychic Energy out into their section of the Warp through our manifestation…”

“So there are Psykers, they just don’t know how to use it properly, and Shaker was unlucky enough to have her mind brushing against the Immaterium during one of the biggest bursts of Warp energy in existence… Wait, holy shit that’s what killed off the Eldar! Slaanesh was literally right next to them when she was born, and if brushing the edge caused that, imagine how the burst of a god’s manifestation would affect someone the psyker equivalent of balls deep in it!” Khorne hit the Epiphany.

“While balls deep in everything else, talk about an explosive climax… literally.” there was a collective groan as Slaanesh slowly frowned. “...Okay yeah, that’s fair, it wasn’t really funny when he said it… but the suffering of The Custodes and Magnus was definitely one to be tickled about, especially since it was harmless.”

“Agreed.” All three of us replied to her statement.

“On the subject of Kitten, I’m personally excited to find which 40k universe we and the ponies will soon be subjected to.” she continued, with a rather mischievous grin.

“Will, be subjected to?” Khorne inquired.

“Come on, Khorne, you and I both know we have no intention of keeping us nor the ponies trapped in this accursed bubble.”

“Agreed, but of course we’ll not be hasty, we’re gonna take a very vested interest in the races of this world. We’ll establish ourselves, gain power through their worship while we empower them in turn, so that when all our various ‘friends’ in the universe show up, they’re not gonna get steamrolled like a Tau in an Ork Martial Arts Tournament, all in favour?” I ask.

“AYE!”

“Good, now let’s all go ahead and watch over our new potential acolytes while we all have the various thoughts we’re most likely going to have. I personally am going to revel in the fantasies I plan to do to an unprepared Tau… especially all those vulnerable, soft-skinned females…” Slaanesh murmured, audibly radiating her rather indecent fantasies.

“Okay Sister, you know damn well we still came from the same person, don’t think your sex-drive is mutually exclusive!” Khorne growled out at her.

“Oh I do, that’s why it’s so fun to put all those thoughts in your heads.”

She has us there… FFFUCK.

{Celestia, Everfree Castle, Medical Wing}

“And you are… sure, she’s alive and healthy?” The Princess asked the apothecary on duty.

“It… it’s madness to speak of, Princess, but yes, in fact she’s healthier than ever, she used to have a diagnosed peanut allergy and acute hay fever. Yet now I’ve watched her scarf down around five peanut butter and Dandelion sandwiches, while it is spring. And I haven’t even heard a cough.”

That is… concerning. Celestia did not trust such odd behaviour to happen without outside influence, and so reasonably connected this new phenomena to whatever had caused the changes to Discord’s seal. “Is there anything related to it that I should know about?”

“Yes, when she took her first bite of these sandwiches, which we had attempted to stop, she cried cheers of joy, and promptly declared praise to something called ‘Nerville’, for some reason, I may be wrong, since she said it with her mouth full.”

Well, if the anomalous revival and having her allergies miraculously cured didn’t settle it… “I need to speak with her, I trust she has been deemed stable?”

“Yes, your highness.”

With a nod, and no further conversation, the ruler of Equestria marched forth into the room.

Shaker Stone looked upon the Alicorn and greeted her with a wave. “Warp’s Blessings, Princess!”

That…. That was new. “Um… Thank you, my little pony? That… might actually be why I’m talking to you… could you tell me what the Warp is?”

“Oh that’s right! I’m the first Psyker, nopony knows what it is, the Warp, Empyrean, Immaterium, all these names can be used to describe the realm where the four reside!”

“The…. four?”

“Why the four gods of the Empyrean Pantheon!”

Oh…

Oh no… she’s dealing with gods.

“O-oh… like this… Nerville?”

“Nurgle, he’s the God of life and nature, he works to create, cultivate and nurture entire ecosystems! He’s the one that removed my allergies and health issues!”

“Oh! That’s not so bad… Are the others similar?”

“Not really, they’re all very different, there’s Tzeentch, the God of Knowledge and Sorcery, he made sure I wouldn’t blow my head up again by tapping into the Warp without training, then there’s Khorne, God of Justice and Combat, he gave me training to kick-flank so I’d fight for you better. Finally, Slaanesh, Goddess of Sex, Arts and Motherhood, she was the best! She gave me the ability to no longer lose my mind when I’m horny, and if I ever have a child, pregnancy and childbirth won’t hurt or anything!”

Ignoring the spike of envy that’d be expected from any mare who has experienced Estrus first-hand, and who have heard horror stories about pregnancy and the subsequent birth, her attention was drawn to the fact that not only were they so divergent, they didn’t seem to have a king among them to keep them in line.

This foolishly led Celestia to assume them to be no threat. “Well, that’s strange, but I guess with this ‘Warp’ being its own reality, we would not witness their conflicts.”

“Oh, they don’t fight at all, Princess! After all, they’re called Chaos Undivided for a reason!”

*Insert window breaking noise here*

“I’m sorry… ‘WHAT’ UNDIVIDED?!”

{Back With Tzeentch}

“Ah, Celestia now knows of our existence, just as planned—”

“MOTHERFUCKER you didn’t plan SHIT!” Khorne snapped out.

“Nah, you’re right, but that’s gonna fuck up the people reading this.”

“Wait, you can break the fourth wall?” Our resident Nature God questioned.

“Nurgle, we spent a good chunk of our time reading Displaced Fics, and we got sent to Equestria by the Merchant.”

“...oh shit, yeah I forgot about that, so much shit’s been happening.”

“What The Buck?!”

Immediately all eyes turned to the new voice, and peering out from a fucking doorway in the Immaterium, leading to an expanse of stars and the sensation of millions of minds, was Luna.

“...Holy Shit, Magic can pierce the Warp?!”
