- "im sorry luna. for everything."
- >"SISTER! THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT! WE SHALL NOT SEE YOU PLACE BLAME ON YOURSELF FOR THIS"
- >you know she believes it isnt your fault, but how couldnt it be? all this time you kept war as far from your little ponies as you could.
- >perhaps if you just let them grow on their own and never united the three tribes maybe they would have had a chance...
- >but it is unlikely

- >as far as you or they know, they are all thats left
- "my little ponies... today is a dark day. As far as we know, it could be our last."
- >a hush falls over the crowd, even your sister luna looks over to you, hope but a faint dream even to her

- >"this is truly a great day for the Imperium brother"
- "yes, soon this rock will be purged of xenos taint and will be a new shining example of humanities greatness"
- >"then lets not keep the emperor waiting, we must fulfill our duty"
- >you look to the walls ahead of you, this is the last unholy citadel of the Xenos on this planet
- >the walls already are crumbling without the need for artillery or orbital bombardment
- >feeble walls for a feeble cause
- "advance! take from them everything!"
- >just as you finish your rallying cry a large bright light erupts from the largest tower
- >its brighter than anything you have ever seen besides the light of the emperor.
- >a Predator Annihilator fires its twinlinked lascannons directly at the source and it is covered in smoke
- >less than a moment later and a bright light is returned to the Holy Armor and it explodes in a plume of smoke and fire
- >you enter a open signal
- "ALL UNITS DIRECT FIRE ON THAT LIGHT!"
- >tracers fill the sky as the light launches into the sky and soon is barreling towards your squad
- >the last thing you remember seeing is his holy light

- >be a fancy noble pony
- >be trapped in your own home with many other ponies and small children
- >most of them died long before today, just their bodies haven't caught up yet

- >"daddy wheres mommy?"
- >>"mommy... mommy, is at the castle sweetie. we will meet her there ok? be strong for daddy now."
- "no need to lie to the girl..."
- >"lie? daddy what is he talking about?"

- "no but its best they know the truth before the end"
- >>"Buck off polthole, dont listen to him. Celestia will save us, just like mommy"
- >"ok daddy..."
- >suddenly a large boom erupts from down the hall, and screams shortly follow
- >the voice you hear is that of death itself, cold, uncaring, lifeless.
- >"I HAVE COME TO DESTROY YOU"
- >its nearly as large as the room itself
- >and its the scariest and most beautiful thing you have ever seen
- >"I SHALL CRUSH THOSE THAT STAND BEFORE ME"
- "everypony! RUN!"
- >you run out of your house along with the other ponies
- >you dont know what made you look back
- >but as you did you saw ponies being crushed under steel hooves

- >"yes sir we will.."
- "if you see them attack without.."
- >"sir save your strength"
- >you begin to cry. as you remember that you were shot
- >you slowly look back over your body, you have no back legs
- >most of your flank is missing and you can see your intestines
- >no reason to not cry now the end has come for you
- "Im coming to see you Twilly.. and you too Cadence..."
- >you cast a signal flare into the air, to warn the princess that the north gate has fallen
- >you are Brother Davaent
- >you made first contact with the equines
- >you are one of the deathwatch
- >and you are the one who secured the gates
- "Xenos have been purged, continue to final advance"
- >"Yes brother"
- >your two space marine subordinates advance to the courtyard bolters ready
- >hundreds of Xenos charge at you, screaming as loud as they can in pitiful spite
- >their hate is strong, but yours is unrelenting
- >for your service to the emperor you were given an ancient Heavy Bolter after arriving at the RV point
- >the names of those that held the mighty instrument carved into the sides, along with holy prayers and scripture
- "secure my flanks brothers... Ill purge them myself"
- >the purest voice of the emperor, is the sound of bolter fire
- >Be Celestia
- >you look down at the courtyard, its a slaughter
- "thats... thats him."
- >you know its the one, the first one the one that killed your student.
- >the one who is responsible for all this death
- >he will not survive you.
- >be Brother Davaent
- >"BROTHER TO THE SKY"
- >before you can adjust your fire you are knocked to the ground
- >a xeno got the jump on you.
- >this cannot go unpunished
- >you raise your holy bolter to the beast your enhanced vision and brain calculating where each bolter round will land before you even pull the trigger.
- >"WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS!"
- >the xeno speaks. now of all times she is trying to talk this out
- >xenos never learn
- "I do this for my emperor, i do this for humanity"
- >"we had no idea humanity even existed! we could have lived in peace! but instead you bring this!"
- >it raised a hoof in a attempt to show you the now burning world
- "I bring his light to this world, I bring hope to humanity, I bring death to xenos"
- >you waste no time. the trigger is pulled before the sentence is finished
- >there is a bright light and a intense heat then she is gone
- "brothers any eyes on the xeno queen?"
- >silence on the comms
- "Brothers respond!"
- >you snap your head left then right
- >your brothers are no longer there only burnt armor and flesh
- >"YOUR TIME IS HERE MONSTER!"
- >she gave herself away
- >you snap around and block her charge with your heavy bolter
- >it seems she has summoned a blade of light to combat you.
- >but xeno steel is no match for hate and faith
- >you shove her back as she readies for another strike
- "forgive me ancient brothers"
- >you drop the bolter to the ground, the pack unlatching from your back and colliding with the ground
- >now you wield your Chainsword and bolt pistol
- "No xeno will best me, your heresy shall come to an end before it even begins filth."
- >be luna
- "finally..."
- >you have been saving energy to cast this and now the time is here
- >your horn glows in the darkness of the castle hall and you pull with all your might on your old prison
- >its slow at first but you can feel the speed increasing
- "this is for everyone we have lost."
- >be Davaent
- >be locked in holy combat with a unworthy foe
- >the large xeno charges you and you in turn charge back
- >steel meets steel and your chainsword roars against her blade
- >"YOU HAVE CAUSED ALL THIS FOR NO REASON YOU ARE EVIL AND YOU MUST BE DESTROYED"
- >you dont honor her with your voice instead you snap your pistol to her head and fire
- >somehow she has dodged your shots and strikes with a blast of magic
- >it makes contact with your armor knocking you to your knees but leaving you otherwise unharmed
- >before she can recover from her pitiful strike you charge
- >she wasnt expecting this
- >your bloody scream for vengeance echos, even in your helmet
- >your blade collides with her flesh leaving a spray of unclean blood on your armor
- >you have drawn first blood in this fight, unfortunately its not fatal.
- >a bloody wing lays on the ground along with a hunk of flesh
- "your race is to weak to survive this galaxy, take pride in the fact it was humanity that has culled you"
- >you open fire and the bolts make impact
- >then you slowly walk to the living corpse
- >she is sprawled out and her breathing is heavy
- >"im sorry twilight... im sorry luna.."
- >your sword roars and bares its teeth as you cut her side open letting her filty blood and guts flow
- "disgusting xeno..."
- >comms open up
- >"Brother the xenos are beaten but we have a new problem"
- "what brother?"
- >"the small moon is gaining speed and heading for your position, the blast from impact will be similar to that of a large orbital bombardment"
- "then this world will purge itself"
- >be the moon
- >be falling to equis
- >be Davaent
- >your thunderhawk has reached its LZ
- >as you board the transport you look back to the xeno
- >whats one more trophy?...
- >you walk back to her corpse and tear her head from her shoulders
- "this will bring fear to xenos quite nicely"
- >once aboard, the ship departs to the orbital chapter barracks
- "once enough brothers are clear begin the bombardment, Initiates are expendable at this time"
- >"yes Brother"
- >the moon makes impact not moments later and the planet itself shifts and cracks
- "Casualty report?"
- >"minimal most of the fallen were low tier initiates"
- "then this planet is ours. begin the final task"
- >you look over the planet as your mighty ship opens fire upon its tainted surface.
- "there is nothing more powerful than hate xenos.... nothing..."
