It was all over; the imperial guard's lines were falling by the coming mass numbers of Tyranids tearing into them by overwhelming numbers, the hive mind tendrils of behemoth under the control of Queen Chrysalis as won, canterlot was falling, not by its decreasing defense, populations or the by lack of leadership that was assassinated and butchered alive, but by the number of harpies flossing the skies if canterlot mountain and a mawloc, burrowing within the very mountain and eating away through all the guardsmen and Equestria guard tanks, supply lines and anti-air defenses then under the city.

Spore mines fly with the skies, harpies destroying Valkyries, gunships, fighters, bombers, transport vessels, and even the ground units poisoning the air or raining acid to melt the skin, muscle, and bones of all that falls on. The Swarmlord, under the hive control of the new Queen and aided with the changelings, with millions of Tyranid Hormagaunt flooding the streets of canterlot city and the last line of defense crumbling slowly but held on the walls of the castle, imperial guardsmen of the Mordian, Catachan, Armageddon, Cadian, Heidran, kriegsmen, squads of tempestuous scions, and only one member of the inquisition being Inquisitor lord Marya holding her power sword out to block the final blow to end her life by the traitorous penal soldier who brought the destruction of Equestria and all life on the planet of Eques. Once a true born son of Cadia, a kasrkin Veteran, a captain and planetary defense leader, now a servant to the tyranid hive mind, standing over her.

His once purple scarred burnt left eye now glowed green held above his head in his bionic augmented hands was a powersword and equipped in complete carapace welded repaired armor with a snarl of pure blind hatred and desire to kill, not even a smile on his face, which was the only thing that could show fear in her awed expression, as she knew her final breath would be taken by this man, a penal soldier and no chance of rescue, not from the Heidran, the Kreig twins, her commissar that lays in the belly of a sea bed of ripper swarms or even the xenos that she and the ordo of xeno, and the ordo Maledictum tasked her to take and experiment on and watch over, as a mark of her life about to end in a horrific and total failure—staring into the dead eyes of the guardsmen she could've trusted to aid in her task.

Captain Thorn Cain Grey, once the son of Cadia but no longer a true born of the penal legion, the burned man, the red-eyed cannibal, The Mad Dog.

"Captain Thorn Cain Grey, by order of the holy inquisition and by our grace's name I command you to cease your actions this instance or be branded as beyond a traitor but a heretic for the cardinal sin you are commiting!" Marya screamed out, seeing Hormagaunt fight off the squad of tempestuous scions tasked to guard her and seeing Grey holding the power blade high before flipping it to have the hilt pointed down and slowly smiling, staring into Marya's eyes.

"Punish me then, for I am both the criminal and sinner; I'm already a traitor to man. What more awaits me knowing I'm denied our lord's grace and branded a heretic bitch?"

He said in an empty tone before bringing the power sword's blade down to clash with Marya, only to break her blade and pierce into her chest plate, stabbing straight through her rips and armor, twisting the blade to cut open a hole and slice her heart and piercing through her back. Blood poured trailing the edge of Cain's powersword; struggling to breathe and move only to lay there staring at the traitor guardsmen with a stinging, burning pain through her body before seeing him rip the blade out and the other guardsmen of the castle's ballroom fighting off the incoming behemoth tyranids. Her mind started to go blank, her eyes grew heavy, her body cold and light, and her armor weighing her down. Yet, she closed her eyes to question how she failed to keep Grey on the watch, wondering how and why he betrayed the imperium and let the world of Equestria fall to the hive mind of the Tyranids with only the memory of the past playing in her mind.

Literally nine hours before this shit feast and after the last chapter, as this will probably be the previous bs past to present shit the Author does as it is, make even me sick and tired of it... And after this, ill be in a coma till the next and grand final story, so yea the Author fucking hates me, I guess - blooper from Grey

The castle of canterlot was defended, tech-priest of the mechanicus set up power couplers and power generators and requisition points within the imperial guard lines of modified Lemen Russ tanks, and chimera transports with the equestrian guard aiding the guard forces carrying ammunition, medical kits, orders and information by scrolls and parchment only to see the very skies above them grow dark by a large shadowing dark cloud past the purple bubble shield spell cast by shining armor.

Standing in line at the castle was Commander Fletcher Fray, looking over at the once busy city streets now empty with only war machines of men from giant armored carriages called tanks and multiple types of human soldiers, some in we'll dress blue uniforms, others dark, dirty Grey or yellow masked coats, some with strange hats and others without shirts moving through the allies streets and buildings of canterlot city turning it into a fortress of hidden choke points and defenses of heavy large unseen weapons that the pony's never seen let alone could imagine.

"It's almost crazy to see this city be filled with these humans, almost makes ya think they going to take us over." A voice came next to him to see a gray red-eyed unicorn being, Straight Arrow standing next to Fletcher as he joined him, seeing the guard of a man secure their defenses.

"You hang out with the VIP too much you know that petty officer you could almost mimic speech if you keep that up." Fletcher said, making the old veteran medical unicorn chuckle yet to feel a tremor on the ground as if the very mountain of canterlot quaked beneath them, before long the forces of man only looked at each other before their officers and commanders started to shout louder, and moved faster.

"They're preparing for something much bigger, Commander Fray; you know it just as even the other veterans, and I can tell." Straight Arrow blunted out, glancing at Fletcher.

He was right; Fletcher could tell through the humans looked behaved and even didn't say it, at the cost of an uneligible language gap; their body language spoke out more than the gibberish they spoke, and they knew that this was going to be bigger than their defenses could bare as soon he could respond an answer he was distracted by an immense darkness of shadow over the whole city before looking to seeing a dark cloud form over them. Yet, something was off with it as all the equestrian soldiers looked up, confused and asking questions, thinking that the weather team was trying to pull something or slacked on their weather duties.

"Straight Arrow, does that cloud looks like it's... Moving?"

•

Somewhere within an inquisitor lord ship far in the milky way galaxy again cause the Author is now lazy with creativity and regrets making this story for you.

•

"Contact Lady Marya and have her ready within my chambers, and I am not to be disturbed till I am finished." an old voice ordered out to a navel officer bowing her head to the lord inquisitor before seeing him walk to his chambers within it was a large holographic com link that turned on to the body of a headless servo attached to the holographic com link before it turned on with the body turning to mimic a human standing and soon the collar of once a humans neck sparked to show a holographic image of Inquisitor Maryas face to see the face of another Inquisitor of the holy imperial Inquisition.

"Inquisitor lord Sturhof..." She said in a mechanical tone from the speakers of the holographic image, only to see the face of Marya morphed and flicked to multiple faces before coming to the face of a feline abhuman. "I wasn't expecting you not your contact me, yet you call for me in a dire moment as I'm preparing war with the xeno race of the hive fleet behemoth of the Tyranids."

"You know it is not yours or mine bout our honor to serve the God Emperor of mankind and to fight the darkness and plague that corrupts his galaxy. Yet as of now, I have other means to our communications." He replied, watching the holographic image flick again to the face of another human.

"A "subject of interest" is stated within your report about these new xenos you have uncovered and the one that had contact with them. Subject ID 604 209 - 020 - 807, the imperial guardsmen by the name of "Thorn Cain Grey." He said before holding a tablet of Grey's information and opening a holograph of his background Marya's Report, his family, crimes and sins, and his service. Every detail and information is displayed before him as he reads it.

"This one has a purpose yet I only come to contact you to regard his arrest, for now, it will be taken into another inquisitorial hand one that has caught site and holds accusation of him committing heresy and xeno sympathy, this order is by the ordo of malleus."

He said before Marya could speak; he only held up his head to silence her as servo skull floated from behind him and plugged into the holograph showing a video of Grey having intercourse with the discovered xeno making his face cringe in pure disgust at just the sight of the nude human's body on the body of a xeno alien.

"To which as your former master I inform you that his arrest will be taken in for interrogation by the Grey Knights for the proclamation of slaying a chaos champion and being in direct contact with the warp without purification of his soul and a severe lack of faith to the God emperor of man."

"You will be returning back to the Cadian system for a confrontation and trial followed by the ordo of xeno to take hold of this world assisted by his angels of the Black Templars chapter, after your battle if you are to live from it. Am I under stood Marya." He finished in a cold dead empty tone hinted by hate, disgust, and shame toward Marya, waiting for her response sensing her hesitation and even her urge to scream out and argue with her former master.

Yet nothing came but a calm bleak response. "Transparently... Inquisitor Lord Sturhof."

She then pressed down on her console, shutting the holo-com off before closing her eyes, and only silence grew in her chambers, only her breathing being heard, yet her mind was rushing to all sorts of things that would come after the war with the Tryanid hive fleet. Hunching over and bowing her head, her face cringed with anger and disgust, she knew her place as Lord Inquisitor; she was to watch over the looming signs of heresy and its corruption across the stars; how could she have been blind to this? To Grey, a false penal Captain to become a xeno sympathizer and now may become an eminence clog within the planetary defense, she snaps her head high and presses down on a vox com system connected to the navigations sector.

"Contact Commissar Lord Cornelius immediately for our arrival and ready ourselves for a warp jump. Emperor, protects, ready all cannons and prepare for battle, our enemy is the alien locusts all guardsmen ready yourselves, ready the ordor of Ebon Chalice with us, if all wish to stop me then let death be the first to do so with his light in our eye and his songs in our roars!" She screams out before switching the comes to the ship's P.A. system to speak through all decks.

"ALL HANDS! TO BATTLE STATIONS AND READY YOURSELVES! THE EMPEROR CALLS TO US AND WE SHALL BRING WAR TO THE ALIEN BEYOND THE VOID WITH HIS FURY IN OUR VOICE AND HIS LIGHT IN OUR EYES!"

•

Meanwhile, within the equestrian planetary defense war room, as the Author was lazy to make a good name for it, so imagine a military sci-fi church bunker.

•

Commissar Lord Cornelius, amongst imperial company commanders, stood over a homograph of Canterlot city, pointing and watching points and arrows of their soldiers move, available requisition points, choke points, secret ally ways for flanking or blocking, and buildings used for the heavy weapons teams and special weapons teams discussing and relaying movement orders for both Kreigsmen and Catachan Devils to hold and be within front lines of the outer city, the Mordarian, and Armagadon to hold within the castles walls, roads, and planetary anti-air and aligning the orbital cannons from the Valhallan troopers leaving the Cadians to maintain the defenses with the Heidran in the castle grounds.

"My lord, a thousand forgiveness but one of the captains from the field demands to speak with you, and it sounds urgent my liege." An officer came before him quickly, saluting, getting an agitated look on Cornelius's face.

"What is his identification number and name." He said in a grimacing tone

"It is 604209020807, Captain "Mad Dog" my lord." The young officer drops his salute to see his grim look of Cornelius drop to announce.

"What does that damn failure want now, can't he see we're in the middle of a crisis here, or is that war-loving freak wanting to be a thorn in my side."

Cornelius said before the metal double doors of the war room burst open to see Grey in whole carapace heavy armor before soon hoards of Rippers swarmed from behind him. The room's vents, jumping and sinking their teeth into the bodies of all the officers and commanders, their mouths and jaws ripping and biting through cloth, armor, flesh, and bones as they screamed out in agonizing pain of being devoured alive as the ripper's burrowing into the bodies of the commanders and tear apart the officer's limbs devouring them.

Cornelius only stands to pull out his bolt pistol and fire only six shots from it at incoming rippers from jumping onto him before a las-shot was hit his chest, knocking him back to fall on the floor and sees the slowly walking Grey stand over him, aiming a hot shot las pistol down at his head with a pony insectoid creature standing behind him with a toothy sadistic smile down at him and Tyranid hormagaunts surrounding Cornelius hissing and growling at the commissar lord.

"Cain! You insolent traitorous bastard!" Cornelius screamed before Grey shot his shoulders and thighs one at a time, making Cornelius roar in pain.

"C-coward couldn't even show your face, let alone finish me off properly; mark my words, when last Inquisitor Marya comes, she will-" "She will die by our hands just as you will now." Greg cut him off in an empty blank tone and seemed to follow what the giant insectoid pony said as it moved its mouth to talk.

"This world... these ponies... These humans... Will feed the hive and be part of our great Queen's rule, this is only the first step... the rest will rain down from the skies and come from the very earth below us... You failed, your soldiers failed... The emperor has failed and abandoned not just this soldier but all of us." Grey said, making Cornelius's faces contort and curse with fury Grey look g up to his carapace plate helmet, looking at his orange visors to see only a faint green glow from his eyes before Grey held up his hot shot las pistol, making Cornelius look at the behemoth hormagaunts and Rippers crawl towards his body.

"Cain you traitor, I curse your name by the order and will of the emperor, may your death be a slow and painful one for your traitorous actions you coward!" He roars out before letting out screaming cries followed by the hissing roars of rippers and hormagaunts stabbing, slicing, biting, and tearing his body apart as Grey and Chrysalis watch.

"Now then pet." Chrysalis said in a cheeky tone, pushing Grey aside to stare at the city's holographic map, looking at all the positionings of the imperial guard.

"You play your role here and make the coming hive easy while I have a wedding to get to." She said, bursting into green flames and turning to Princess Cadence in her wedding dress.

"As you wish... My Queen." He autonomously responded, aiming his last pistol at the communication console and blasting it to shut off all communications and then to the power generators breakers to shut off all power connecting the power cogitator and turning off the power of all imperial orbital weapons, shields, and requisition points and systems down leaving the imperial guard forces in the blind, deaf and orbital defensively against the Tyranids invasion as Cadence walks teleports away to attend to her wedding.

Author's Note

was this short on propose: yes

reason: short: IRL work life/living issues, and research on putting table top game mechnics into story along with making it fun/funny, stupid, references, MEMES, and of course the shit plot if I could fucking find it.

Long:
Because the damn next chapter will be two chapters into one so double chapter load with Grey killing a lord inquisitor, his brother in law and the kreig twins fighting Grey, the four guard ponies trying to help along with 4 v billion both changlings and bugs, Celestia and Luna VS Old One Eye the tyranid and the mark for orks to come and join in the fight cause orks and of course shit art... a lot of shit I got to do but it would be one hell of a cluster fuck to enjoy

quick shout out to Bronycommander for the Character use of Inquisitor Sturhof, big help since I suck at names and if you want a place or even a character be it bug, human, pony, abhuman xeno, xeno then just answer the game down below.

you fuckers could do the same too ya know... ya damn anti-social fucks that is a joke but seriously im willing to open creativity here, im literally bad with naming shit and this is really an excuse at this point

INFO DUMP

For those that don't know of what are what:

Inquisition: Assholes... Just flat out power hunger assholes kind of like the leftist liberals in a way... I'm not apologizing nor going into detail cause fuck politics

Grey Knights: imagine KGB/CIA/FBI and other fucking secret police/agency shit that works for the church... A secret elite “small” army of the church in the inquisition... And they have magic powers along being the badass space marines good on killing demons... Yes their both terrifying and if you know anything about them they will kill you. Sadly their shit in model table top game but look cool.

Mainly ork alot of the time and are the CEO of racism. fucking based in all ways and total gigachads when they have the moment best watch THIS if you want a good grasp about them

GAME

Well since we are now at the “half way point” of this story I got some real tragic news and good news... Good news is This is a two in one so your lucky that I'm making it both tyranids with the bug ponies and the crystal empire with the orkz

Bad news is the next story will be the grand finally and ill let you guess what will happen with a small sad and possibly painful jeopardy game

If you know who this rage cunt baby is. GIVE ONLY BAD/OPPOSITE NAMES FOR HIM

Guess what will happen in the grand finally

who's ever the closest candidate will have a character or themselves part of the story from here till then on, and have their name in the credits, shout outs and along with a free art commission of their choosing along with bragging rights and maybe a possibility for a voice actor spot once this story is finished... working one something that should've been finished since the first story and now looking for people that can either do impressions or think that can scream into a mic for a long while XD

More information will have to be taken in private messages.
