Celestia stood before all of the ponies of Canterlot and the majority of Equestria in a grand room holding the wedding of Captain Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, princess of love. Her wings outstretched fully in grand gloriousness, both imperial guardsmen of the imperium of man in ceremony-decorated uniform with sabers held in their hands stood alone on the long red carpet that stretched from the first steps to the stage and down the perfect center of the door of the grand room, on the other side was a line of equestrian guard held their halberd axe, both man and pony aligned by the sides of the carpet before turning to face each other in perfect snapping move following the sounds of an organ playing the sweet soft melody music of the coming bride, the grand door open to show the beautiful princess of love.

Both guards of the equestrian and the imperium snapped themselves to raise their halberds and sabers to the center of their bodies and then to the air near touching the tips of the edges of their blades and pointing to make an archway of blades to welcome the bride down its path as three fillies flower bearers skipping along to rain flower pellets as the bride walks down the aisle slowly under the bladed arch to the stage where awaited her husband and the princess if the sun, she smiled happily with the soldiers holstering their weapons to their shoulders and snapped turn to face the bride and husbands ceremony. Behind and around the citizens and subjects of Equestria, far within the back wall, were the imperial guard's young officers, lieutenants, corporals, ensigns, and warrant officers mumbling to each other softly about the xenos ceremony and the pending invasion still awaiting orders, commands and any information that came from vox yet only greeted by silence or by Captain "Mad Dog" Grey, the officer killer responds with either a threat to there life if they leave and keep asking for any word or that all is clear and nothing to report yet.

It was beyond unreasonable and irresponsible, and worst, with his tone of intoxication, it was idiotic, yet to doubt a high-ranked soldier be it captain, especially the penal captain and the very same officer killer, is to know death would come slowly and painful than admitting heretical corruptions to a commissar. Yet though with coms made all imperials uneasy, they stood waiting and watching the ceremony. After all, they were only low-ranked young officers in a xeno world; what more could they do or have done against the “only commanding officer” that speaks to them, let alone with inquisitional servo-skulls floating quietly throughout the room recording every second of the ceremony overhead.

“Mare and Gentlemen of mankind” Celestia announced standing between both Shining Armor and Cadence.

“We are gathered here today to witness the union of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor.” She said as the camera panels away from her to some cave with twilight and the “REAL” cadence but you have seen the show and the author is feeling really fucking tired and lazy to type a wedding proclamation or whatever ever it's called so he decides to skip that shit to the beginning of the battle cause admit it your here for you nothing but WAR but don't worry it's only to when they start to say I do and twilight skips in like a cuck.

“Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, it is my great pleasure to pronounce you-” “STOP!”

A shout came from catching the attention of the guardsmen officers and guards all looking at each other, confused about what to do seeing the guests gasp in shock, the six bridesmaids planting their hoofs to their faces mimicking a facepalm at the sight of a lean- a small purple angry unicorn shouting out leaving all human guardsmen unable to understand or comprehend what she's saying with only animalistic neighs, cries and whines from her, another stupid idea by the author he regrets at this moment currently.

Only to be shocked at the sight of an alicorn behind her leaving both humans and ponies horrified and confused. All looked between the real bride Princess Cadence and the other copy, seeing her more stuffed and beaten with bite marks and scratches all over her body. Then sounds of their vox-com links buzzing in their ears to hear the voice of Captain Grey.

“All soldiers of man within the castle and the city. You are relieved of your duties and will face doom, die well dogs, whether by me or by the glorious hive that has come to take us all.”

Commander Fletcher Fray

On the walls with Second Senior Petty Mage officer Straight Arrow, a loud explosion was heard behind them being it from the castle, making all guards of the equestrian forces, Unicorn mages of the sun and moon, the Pegasi sky raiders and thunder strikers, and all three houses of the earthpony knight houses of Murus, Securis, and Scutum followed by all seven armies of the imperial guard of mankind all look upon the castle to the sights and sounds of a large explosion and see the shadow of a massive creature of six ginormous scythes like arms on its snake centipide body before seeing what was the head split open into four separate jaws as a long seated tongue with three human guardsmen and four ponies on it be swallowed hole into its mouth before letting out a loud hiss roar forcing everyone within the cities range to cover their ears before it aimed its head to burrow into the courtyard of the castle grounds shaking the very ground beneath them to all fall sending all guards ponies in a panic.

“WHAT IN CELESTIAS BUCKING HOLY SUN WAS THAT!” Straight Arrow said quickly looking at Fletcher for even a made-up answer.

Yet only saw the face of pure horror and confusion at the beast's size and the fact that it could have destroyed the castle from the one place they had forgotten to prepare for an enemy flanking from underground. Before Fletcher could even come up a breath to try to calm himself down, the sounds of glass shattering overhead made all look up to the sight of the dark cloud moving away to a flaming ball crashing into the main city where the imperial guard's line. Both Fletcher and Straight Arrow quickly got to their hooves to stand over the wall and witness the sight of huge beasts of red skin and blue shells pouring out from these crashed things that seemed to be birthing these beasts till soon the city allies, buildings, and the guardsmen's lines were overrun by a see of these monsters.

Would say play this for background effect of tyranids and changelings agaisbt humans and ponies. I promise war and you will get war! blood everywhere! death yes! war WAR!

(keep in mind detail may seem off or the “combat” maybe be fast pasced but it's tyranids and changelings against humans and ponies so... I'll see what I can work with and make it slow enough for you to try and keep up but don't expect anything good, even in 40k books they're like this... sadly) - another bloop

Each one was bigger than the humans biting into them with gapping maws of teeth screaming as they were devoured alive and slicing their bodies like butter with scythe-like arms spilling their blood, organs, and bones out and ripping them apart before running to the next guardsmen to repeat their attack. It was a slaughter feast for the ponies on the walls to witness before the thundering bangs rang in the ears of the unicorn mages to see the imperial guards' ranged weaponry firing. Both Fletcher and Straight Arrow watched in awe at the sight of a long cannon-like weapon shoot down at the trench lines hitting both guardsmen and the beasts in an explosion of limbs, fire, and blood as the guardsmen screamed out to Fletched, making a gesture with his hand holding out his finger and thumb and making a weird bang sound that was mimicking the cannon as it is firing again and again none stop making Fletcher realized the gesture.

"Mages ready explosive magic and fire down at the beast! Watch your aim over the imperial-"

"Enemy air units inbound from the sky southeast at 2 o'clock." A unicorn mage screamed out, cutting Fletcher's order making Fletcher, Straight, and the other mages look up to the skies and see a green fireball heading towards them.

"Incoming!" Straight Arrow screamed out, grabbing Fletcher and tackling him to the ground to barely dodge the fireball as it crashed onto the wall hitting one of the imperial guards' mounted cannon causing an explosion of green flame with the sight of two humans screaming in agony as their bodies were set ablaze in a blazing green liquid fire burning and melting their skin and muscles down to the bone before their bodies were blasted into pieces by two insectoid ponies hissing at the unicorn mages and imperial guardsmen.

"Free magic! All mages open fire!" Fletcher screamed out as the mages and guardsmen fired at the insect ponies blasting off their limbs and leaving gaping holes in now-dead bodies before the mages stopped to now fire up into the sky, followed by the guardsmen shooting beams of magic and red at the incoming green flaming balls that go over or hitting the walls. At the same time, more aim down into the city.

Straight Arrow helps up Fletcher watching now a new form of chaos brew. Seeing the city is filled with flying massive beasts and the insect ponies grabbing guardsmen, and now earth ponies knights from their position to lift in the sky and be eaten alive, torn into pieces raining down blood, or shot by both the ground beasts with now ranged weaponry or the magic of the insect ponies.

"A-A ground, air, and range attack from all sides this... This is impossible!" Fletcher said, gazing at the war of humans and ponies against beast slaughtering them all.

"Commander, even with the aid of our mages magic, the pegasi air units, and earth pony knight, and whatever the imperial humans have, I doubt we can even last more than what we have planned for at this rate!" Straight Arrow said before an explosion came from the north gate wall, followed by its sight of flames.

"They... They breached the walls already..." Fletcher said, horrified at the sight of a giant red and blue beast running through the fires, the view of two scythes and two huge claws being fired upon by the imperial guards' weaponry cannons and laser guns from the memory of Grey being called lasgun and the roaring fire of the guns called autocannons and heavy bolters.

"Fletcher! We must fall back to the castle; it's the only way for the mages to seek cover and recall the earth pony knights!" Straight Arrow screamed out, seeing Fletcher look around in panic before one of the flying beasts swept down, grabbed a pony mage behind him, and carried him to the sky, snapping Fletcher back to reality when another beast flew to it, catching the pony and both tear the mage in half and feasting on the split body.

"All mages fall back to the castle; the walls have been breached seek to cover on the grounds of the castle and defend it with your lives!" Fletcher ordered all unicorn mages to gallop or teleport to Cantorlot castle, leaving the Earth pony knights and the imperial guardsmen on the walls.

Imperial Guards frontlines of the north castle gates

Centurion Golden Sparks

Golden Sparks, along with her fellow knights, are tasked with supporting the imperial guard of man on the coming battle; being a member of House Murus, they were first to be debriefed on what they were up against and tasked with aiding and setting up a defenses line in front of the castle gates and walls. Golden Sparks still couldn't believe or begin to think of such a foe, let alone a beast of both brutality, size, and numbers; they were truly beasts beyond the sun and moon. Her time spent in House Murus was long but daring, being only spent training in defensive and support strategies and attacks due to her position as a heavy knight; she knew of her weakness and strengths. She knew moments to engage and fall back, yet the tremors within the shaking ground beneath her and the look of unease upon the human's faces which she could see didn't help calm her.

They were hiding something is all she knew, and whether it was essential or not mattered little now as she watched the guardsmen carrying boxes of their range weapons and ammunition for them; she remembered hearing from Straight Arrow that these weapons were called "heavy bolters" and "autocannons" similar to the ponies ranged weaponry but superior in both firepower range and "higher fire rate" whatever that meant yet the only thing that called to Golden Sparks attention was the imperial guard's cannon mounted armored carriage that roared moving slowly down the streets of cantorlot. She remembered Grey having one of these, calling them "tanks" such machines of war distracted her from all things before an explosion behind the gate came then the, following a roar that made her ears ring along with the other knights and imperial guardsmen before the ground whole tremendously making her fall with one the for guardsmen screaming out and pointing at the sky.

The magical shield shattered by a vast flaming meteor crashing through it and overhead, hitting the other side of the city before more followed, shooting into the castle grounds. She quickly got to her hooves to hear the imperial guard mount their autocannons and heavy bolters, unleashing the thunderous heavy blazing fire out down the streets and into some buildings looking down to where their firing at humongous beast hissing roars and charging the guardsmen lines, she felt her fur stand on ends at the sight of the beasts, their mouths filled with teeth as shape as blades and having four arms like scythe blades and be shot and tramp down by the guards fire before another came over their dead to continue she watched happen over and over, again and again, seeing these beast press on before soon they where crawling over their dead forming a wall of corpses and a street of blood before slowly they stopped charging.

"Knight House Murus aid the guardsmen quickly!" a knight commander roared out before long Golden Sparks quickly picked up a box of bolter ammunition on her back along with several of her knight brothers and sisters rushing over to bring the guardsmen ammunition's of strange shiny golden and iron looking munition before a loud roar was let out from the wall only for a more enormous beast burst down the corpse wall and charged them, the beast was a large as the building around them with arms of two ginormous scythe's and two vast claws of red and blue but with only one eye as it's right was nothing but a white bare skull the guardsmen screamed out trying to rush their weapons loading and reloading as some we're shooting red beams from their smaller weapons but to no avail the beast was to fast, already coming at the line Golden sparks only dropped the box of munition and galloped back to get out of the way before an explosion shock wave send her flying through one of the empty ponies home windows followed by the sounds of stone and wood collapses.

It was over; she looked back to see the fire through the broken window and the sounds of more beasts charging and roaring out through the blazing fire. Golden Sparks only laid there with her ears ringing and curled up into a ball covering her head and ears; all was gone, and the gates breached; this was her end, along with cantorlot will fall, and all she could do was curl up into a ball and cry, she wasn't a knight not worth to be called as such but only... Her mind shifted to Grey when those officers, friends he once called, would whip his back as a sort of repentance for his crimes and sins, the crime of disobeying orders, abandoning posts, and even killing off too many soldiers of his kind and amry. He was branded as a failure by his kind, yet he still served them, knowing that they would never see him as a soldier, let alone an ally; it wasn't fair or right, yet he still fought even if he would say he never showed fear. Golden Sparks only heard the voice of Grey in her mind hearing his voice.

"In the Imperium, a soldier is someone that would give their lives to die for the emperor, to die in the thought alone that a single inch of land is worth a billion lives, the guard stands alone against all thing." His voice rang out in her mind before she slowly stood up to her hooves, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"I remember this story, a story of a soldier who stood against heresy itself... a mere mortal man like me, maybe like you in a way. A man who stood protecting the God Emperor himself against the fallen son of the Emperor." He said, echoing through her mind; she turned to the fire to open her eyes and stare it down.

"His name was Ollanius Pius, the only human guardsman that defended the god emperor and only challenged the arch-traitor god himself. He was no super soldier angel of the Emperor, no custodian guardian of his grace, but a man dying to take the final blow against the Emperor of man. That is what a true soldier is, that is what true sacrifice means, to give your life not for the Imperium but for mankind, for the god-emperor of man for he is the Imperium of man as he is mankind itself." His voice faded away in her mind before she kicked the ground, reading to charge out the window.

"Grey, you may be the worst human man I've known and defended... but if your trust in your god is true, just as the stories of the soldiers before you, then maybe your god might see me as similar." She smiled, closing her eyes to calm herself.

"I could only hope at least... I have a duty as a knight for not for the ponies or cantorlot." she opens them to jump out through the flames and into the battlefield.

"But for all Equestia, for Celestia, for you... and the Imperium!"

Cantorlot Castle

•

Within the castle halls was a blood bath for the imperial officers and equestrian guard and ruble after the colossal beast, known by the imperial guards as a Tyranid Mawloc, burrowed through the very ground beneath them and crashing up the surface taking three guardsmen and four ponies with it before burrowing back down in the castle grounds, the hole that it came from was not just it's the exit but a path for the Tyranids to crawl from like ants from an ant hill poured out hundreds to thousands of tyranids to feast on all ponies and guardsmen alike flooding the halls of the castle with blood and living beasts the size of tanks of razored maws and claws. The growing few guardsmen and officers evacuated the pony populous into the royal throne room with only power-bladed weapons and las-pistols being their only available weapons.

The battle between the pony incests soon followed by the Tyranid invasion; grabbing injured and surviving ponies and guards held into captivity, Princess Celestia was among the captives leaving the remaining ruler, her sister Princess Luna to lead a defense against the invasion along with Commander Oscar Milan of the One-hundredth and Sixty-Sixth Heidrum regiment, assisted twin kreigsmen one one four “Alina” and one one five “Aline” armed with a one personnel flamer and an imperial Catachan shotgun defending their position at the throne rooms broken down doors at the incoming waves of Tyranids and ripper swarms. Behind them was Tech-priest Enginseer Sarina setting up a tarantula filter turret as quickly as she could, praying to the machine spirit and build it.

“Sarina, how much longer will it take you to build that bloody fucking thing, damn it!” Screamed out; Aline reloaded five four gauge slug shells into the shotgun before pumping it and slam-firing it down the throne room doorway into the Tyranid hormagaunt infested the hall before Alina emptied a tank of promethium flames at the door. Seeing the bodies of behemoth tyranids and slippers burn to black chard carcasses.

“Construction percentage is at eighty-eight percent and would be going faster if you focus your accuracy to twenty percent and cease this inadequate conversion and interference with my prays Kreigsmen.”

She said in a quick, agitated mechanical tone getting a sideways glance from Aline before Oscar broke her gaze, shooting his las-pistol at slipping rippers trying to jump at Aline and Sarina or past them to the ponies from the wedding and the remaining royal guards with unicorns aiding Oscar in covering fire and the earth pony knights stabbing the corpses and moving them to reinforce their position making a barracked wall of burnt and stabbed tyranid hormagaunt corpses.

“Right now is not the time for this nor the moment!” He screamed before firing his laspistol again and using his power sword to slice a ripper in half, leaving its body a burning wake.

“It’s bad enough to be fighting damn bugs as it is and I don’t need soldier fighting amongst ~~us~~ themselves so silence yourselves and focus damn it!”

Oscar roared out, with Alina shooting out more flames at the door burning the majority of the hormagaunt charging their way; supported both officers tending to each other and Oscar, Aline with the magic shoots from the small number of unicorn mages behind them, soon their magic blast slowly to an all-out stop. Oscar turned back to see the unicorn ponies all gripping their heads with their hooves and begin to fall to the ground, some even crying out in whines and grunts of pain and fear and seeing all their horns of their magical glow to a deep shade of red before they collapsed to the ground and began dying.

Soon the sounds of Alina’s flamer stopped making Oscar glance back at the doorway of the throne room and see the piles of burnt Tyranid corpses, but soon the sounds of metal stomps came to their ears, followed by a mass amount of buzzing and hissing roars. Before them was an entire swarm of black carapace bug-like ponies with Tyranids hormagaunt and rippers with them, followed behind a guardsman, a guardsman with bionic limb replacements armed with a hotshot laspistol in his right-hand metal hand, and a power sword with the welding line still visible. The guardsmen wore worn but welded fixed Kasrkin heavy plate armor with welding lines all over it and with tally marks scratched onto his armor along with a flat respirator mask and broken orange lens goggles that only showed his right burned scarred green glowing eye as his left was only a wake of a bionic eye red lens.

Oscar, Alina, Aline, Sarina, and the few guardsponies and pony guests see this man; they all know if his armor didn't give it away, showing who he was or the symbol of the penal legion mark of a cracked smiling of a dogs head with two large X's marked on his left shoulder pad and his right baring the downward silver star rank of captain gave it away his welded power sword did with only one word written in on its hilt:

”Thorn Cain Grey, Eighth Cadian True-born Karskin”

The guardsman left bionic hand shifted to press the button on its handle to bring its machine spirit to life from its power cell as its blade glowed a bright energy blue hue with sparks of electricity sapping the ground and the left hand of the guardsman welding it.

"G-Grey, this... This can't be... oh Golden Throne of the emperor fuck me..."

Oscar said, seeing none other than Grey in his fully repaired Kasrkin armor and his weapons, making both Aline and Aline step back, aiming their shotgun and flamer at him. He could see their hands and bodies tremble from the corners of his eyes, not out of exhaustion but fear. The aura from Grey as he stands over the burnt corpses of Tyranids with more behind him following him like a pack of animals before Grey held up his power sword, aiming the blade at Oscar, challenging him to a duel with the remaining officers move to stand in front of the equestrian guard aiming their las-guns and las-pistols at Grey behind Sarina, Aline, and Alina. Oscar is baffled at the sight of Grey, his friend, his mentor. His own brother-in-law challenged him with xenos on his back.

The Hall of Dreams

•

Yet from the battle of Canterlot, the halls of dreams echoed only to silence the very plains of thousands of orbs of the minds of ponies with more that stretched though far from the minds of ponies out beyond to mimic the night sky, yet within one was the cage of darkness. A black cage of a void that locked the being of evil and hatred, Nightmare Moon, forever locked in the darkness that perfectly encapsulated the moon's dark side. A bereft barren land forever to be held there for eternity and onward, yet alone forced to wonder the darkness of her cage. Yet, in her wonder, she was again met with the broken beast called "Cain" from her first encounter. Yet again, something new brought with it, its body was whole, able to see his uniform, armor, and new metal limbs that now fill its missing amputated ones, yet it seemed off. Nightmare Moon only stopped to see his head bowed slightly lowered to only stare at the ground and his eyes glowing green. All she could do was examine him from a distance and circle him, and she saw no reaction to him, not even a flinch or a twitch of his body; he looked frozen, like a stature that bothered her immensely.

Soon his head rose slowly to meet Nightmare's gaze, and she only saw his contorted face of a near-feral rage held back by force. Yet, his gaze wasn't towards her, that snarling gritted teeth and squinted piercing glare going straight through her. What was behind her? Following her instincts, she turned only to see another bipedal creature with the same face as "Cain" but without the scars, wearing black armor with gold spiked trims. Its flesh was pale as ash, and its eyes we red as the very crimson blood that dripped down its face and cheeks that was to scrunch into the form of a snarl of malic with saliva dripping down the corners of its cracked dry lips and yet Nightmare could tell that this creature was male as it bared the same face as "Cain." A perfect identical twin, almost only for it to bare in its "hands" a bright purple blazing jagged sword.

"Abel!" Cain screamed out behind Nightmare, forcing her to step away by the full spite in his voice as he slowly walked towards the other being called Abel. "Your crimes are brought to the light of the Emperor and for all to see, and even I can not believe you fall to this." Cain roared out.

"If Mother were to see you now, she would be grieving at this sight but a shameful one no less, even on the holy grounds of Cadia we stand on!"

Cain reached to his side to unsheath a sword smaller than Abel's, seeing it engulfed in a blue electric glow that sparked wildly, seemingly to match the sheer malic as its wielder.

"Oh Cain, you are as blind as the Imperium to see the truth, that this false idol was all but a liar, a false god claiming to be worshiped when he is already dead; the very thought alone contradicts what he claims." Abel replied in an irritating tone mocking him.

"Don't you see, brother? The powers of the four are the truth of and for humanity; look at it." Abel said as Nightmare watched him hold up his arms with his sword in hand, only for her eyes to follow the jagged blade up and above her were corpses of humans of both male and female genders, their bodies hooked to the ceiling by spiked rusted hooks, chains, and spiked wires crossing through the butchered limbs and flesh of the once humans till two caught Nightmare Moon's eyes.

Hanging more lower over a large alters slab was a once human female, but both her arms were missing, with the muscle showing as if they were torn off her body along with her legs. The flesh of her body was exposing every muscle exposed, with her stomach torn open from her sides up to her two bleeding breasts on what was a branded scar-ridden chest of eight-pointed stars and cuts, but what made her eyes pupils shrink was a flesh hanging rope attached to a smaller sized human which then Nightmare Moon learned what a human infant looked like if the umbilical cord tied around it's necked looked like making her shut her eyes and look away in absolute disgust leaving her eyes in tearful pain, a pain that she felt from the human Cain and that shifted to fierce, intense almost pure animalistic anger and hatred towards this human known as Abel only to continue speaking.

"This is what the powers wanted, and they gifted me power, Father was weak and blind, mother was not worthy." Abel said before looking down at Cain.

"But they were... They were the perfect offerings, sister by law and a coming granddaughter, two lives for the blessings of the four. But one more to grant me their blessings to bring all the chaos to this wretched world." Abel paused to look at his brother with his head lowered, and a dark shadow of his brow covered his eyes with his breath, wheezing, and huffing, struggling to breathe. Nightmare looked at Cain, crying; her mind filled with every emotion he felt as tears rolled down her dark cheeks. Still, they weren't of sorrow but pain, a pain of malic disgust and the desire to kill. Every emotion she had felt when she took over Luna and ascended to Nightmare Moon, and how she was imprisoned to her caged void by the Elements of Harmony, but this pain this human feels, this sorrow, despair, hatred, anger was something more, more than what she had felt during her time. Still, yet snapping to reality as before she would even blink, Cain ran, gripping his sword to point it at Abel, making him laugh and lick his lips as he only murmured to himself.

"Now, this will be fun; your blood will be the greatest offering to give."

Within the void of space above Eques’s high orbit

•

Within the void of space surrounding eques planet of Equestria, beyond the coming tendril of hive fleet Behemoth comes the opening of a warp jump gate and the slow emerging of a large imperial astartes vessel of the battle barage battleship followed by several more opening gates on the sides of the battleship and what emerged were an adeptus astartes strike cruiser, an imperial navel battle cruiser, two imperial frigates, two imperial light cruiser and an entire squadron of five adeptus astartes escort ships. All bearing the colors of red, gold, white, and black with the black cross emblemed on each navel vessel, all of which belong to the black templars bringing a fleet to go against the tendril of the hive fleet all followed lastly by the last warp gate of an imperial Inquisition cruiser.

"Lord Inquisitor we have arrived in the xeno world and amits the battle of hivefleet Behemoth." The Arch-Megos said as a servo skull commented to the back power pack on the Arch-Megos’s back hovered, turning to face up at the Inquisitor Lord Sturhof gazing at the hive fleet infecting the planet with a disgusted look of malic on his face and spoke aloud.

“Have the Black Templars tend to the tyranid fleet below followed and a full planet scan for life signatures of Inquisitor Marya’s matching. Then have the Templars make ready for my landing on the world.” Sturhof said as the Arch-Megos followed its instructions, leaving Sturhof scowling at the hivefleet with other imperial navy men to feel the dreadful fear of his silence yet do their best not to show it in his presence nor his gaze.

“Is he here lord Inquisitor?” a voice from behind the inquisitor emerged to Sturhof holding his gaze before drifting his eyes to the xeno world of eques.

“He is as you can sense his presence just as I can knight,” Sturhof replied, turning to look up at the silver-armored blue, glowing visor space marine in full tactical terminator armor, with his right arm topped by a stormbolter attachment and in his left hand he wielded a long power spear that sparked its machine spirits power engine to life as on his shoulder pads born the marked of an inquisitional Grey knight with his body draped in purity seals and written marks of unknown symbols of the true names of daemons he’d defeated and banished.

"Once we are within the planetary orbit, I will teleport myself down to the surface and locate him, and you will take him in custody under my overwatch till he is brought to his cell, inquisitor." The Grey knight said through his vox com, his voice a low, deep, yet cold hardened voice from years of reciting prayers, blessings, banishments, and exorcisms of the abominations of the warp.

Sturhof only returned to return his gaze at the hivefleet and the xeno world. "That will be a reassuring knight, if anything were to go between Inquisitor Marya, or myself I trust that you are task to eliminate them just as my guard and the black templars are tasked with the same order." Sturhof said the Grey Knight did not respond or acknowledge leaving Sturhof to move his hands to press on a terminal turning on a private coms link.

"High priest, I call you to request and need of you in the deliverance of a message, requesting the aid of Holy Saint Mallius Abel Gorar to aid me within this battle in the elimination of heretical xenos forces and a possible cleansing of a world."

Specialist Hanzel

Hanzel, being buried under the rubble and corpses of soldiers, both human alien and pony, slowly dug himself out to see his eyes blinded by dust, ash, and blood; everything happens so fast, and his mind takes time slowly catch up, he remembered being with Centurion heavy knight Golden Sparks before that, humungous alien beast breached the castle, he remembered Hanzel was posted on one the north castle walls gate as it dug into the ground and made him fall from the walls. Onto one of the nearby buildings of the inner city, slowly cleaning his eyes and looking around, he could only make out the makings of a ruined living room, with broken glass, furniture, and decor scattered everywhere as the walls and ceiling laced in cracks and disarray from the effects of the invasion.

Yet getting up, he felt a sharp pain in the base of his wing and back, glancing to see his right-wing broken with the bone sticking out from his flesh and felt his front right forehoof dislocated up to his shoulder, forcing each step he made to be a limp as he soldiered his way through the rubble and out to the city.

The city of cantorlot was awash of carrion and destruction, bodies of pony guards and imperial soldiers, and the alien bugs scattered along with broken machinery and weaponry. Yet the young pegasi specialist walks among it all, his armor stained in soot and blood and damaged with dents, scratched and chipped, or even cracked pieces.

'Theirs's Theirs's nothing left... This isn't a war... It's a massacre.' He said in his mind, he remembered the battle of ponyville was a war seeing nearly every equestrian force soldier fighting for their lives, but this, all around him this was just a slaughterhouse by the brutal beasts.

Yet he walked limbing through it all; he took a moment to stop as Hanzel looked down to see a pile of bodies of human guardsmen stacked on each other with a blood trail leading up to one of the builds that still stood till a hand emerged out of the pile grasping out flexing as if the human were trying to crawl their way out, he only did as a soldier would and helped moved the dead of them to see them missing their lower torso as they've lost their right arm and bleeding out.

Their uniform was of dark grey-green armor with a Tanish blood-stained uniform, and on their face was a mask with its lenses broken, revealing two bloodied red eyes and their dirty red-stained hair. He could hear their wheezing breath for air as they reached out to him with their only free hand, and so he only lowered his head down for them to wrap around his armored body and pull them out from the pile; he groaned at their weight on his weakening body yet he knew they would die their so he had to help them.

I-it's ok... I-... I've got you." He said he hoped to give them at least the message, knowing they couldn't understand him, nor could he understand them.

Lifting them onto his back, blood-drenched his armor that quickly leaked under and onto his green coat; it was hot and warm yet slowly growing cold, they spoke to him but in a mess of untranslatable gibberish till they moved their hands slowly to point at a small stone barricade where he walked and rest them to lean on it gently, then with their free and they made the shape of an "L" and flicked it several times till he got what they were trying to tell he.

"H-how... How can you still fight, your bleeding every where with most of your body gone... But yet you still choose to fight... Why?" He asked, looking at them with a pleading concern and worry but to see no understanding, which only caused Hanzel to snort and look around the carnage.

They wanted their weapon, he knew they would die either to blood loss or to the alien beasts hearing their roars echo around in the distance, yet their blood was still warm, hot enough to keep them alive, hot enough to continue to fight. So looking around the scattered remains of bodies, he found one of the imperial guard's laser weapons. Picking it up with his mouth, the weapon itself was drenched in a mudded blood mixture and had scratches that made it seem broken, yet it was better than nothing; he only gave it to the dying human soldier, with its weapon in hand, it used it to slowly shift themselves to face down the alien carcass street and aim their weapon down it before giving him a side eye glance and slowly nodding their head at him.

"You will die here, soldier... You know that more than I do, but you are truly brave and strong. I can only hope you can make that weapon last as long as you did." he said to them, seeing them close one of their eyes and their back flex slowly to their breaths.

Though he couldn't understand them, he knew he helped them as he only responded by giving them a salute and holding his hoof to his head before dropping it and walking back to the broken castle gate. They spoke in a young, almost feminine voice -being the only word he could understand in an interesting and almost identical way to the ponies from Vanhoover.

“A... A-Avē... Imp... I-imperā... tor...”

He only looked back to see them laying their blood pouring down their torn-off limbs before slowly continuing till they were long and distant from each other. Hanzel could hear the sounds of the alien beast screeches behind him followed sounds of laser fire shots echoed, firing only eight times before it all stopped together, leaving him in the silence alone to close his eyes and continue before seeing the broken defense line and destroyed gate to the castle walls.

"Humans are beyond courageous, better than what I have, better than us ponies... But with them here, we're lasting long though I don't know how long we can last now." He said, looking at the broken gate and taking in the silence and destruction with the echoing buying sounds and screeches returning as he looked through the gates and to the castle seeing lasers and the sounds of bans and explosions are heard.

He only takes a slow and deep breath before releasing it to look down at one of the human imperial weapons, a sword with jagged fangs that space evenly and back up to the canterlot castle. "Ave, Imperator..."

"Hail to the Emperor... and Equestria."
