The Equestrian claw of Vangeance (5X5)

[Leavemealone 547]

Supersonic bounded backwards, then took flight and fired a volley of energy bolts at the Champion of Slaanesh.

---------------------------------------

Flare Blitz pulled out yet another horn ring and switched it out with the one she was wearing. The Hellbrute was missing an arm and the other one was frozen solid. She flew high and shot a mighty blast of lightning out of her metal horn. The Hellbrute's eyes lost their light and it crumpled to the ground.

The champion of Slaanesh had a wicked grin under his helmet as he kicked Maple out of the way, and slashed the energy bolts to pieces with his sword.

"Face me, stripling! Satisfy the hunger of Slaanesh!" the champion shouted as his daemon arm grabbed up one of the near death guards and splits its neck with his crab-like claw.

(I just want to say something, one of the reasons she can fly so fast is because her mother is the Wonderbolt Spitfire)

Supersonic snorted. "Nobody harms Maple Bat." She took off and fired another energy bolt at the Champion, and then stabbed the Champion's crab-arm with both shortswords. She then rotated the swords and ripped the arm straight off, before flying back to Maple, shielding her and spinning her shortswords in her hands.

The Slaanesh Champion laughed maniacally as his arm was cut off.

"Feast your eye-" the chaos marine could however not finish his sentence as suddenly an almost totally invisible figure slashed the chaos marine's body from the inside out, the sound of a chainsword roaring loudly.

As the slaanesh champion fell dead to the ground, the camouflaged figure looked at the 2 4 legged ponies for a second, before quickly running away.

But one thing was certain, that figure was to thin to be a space marine....

[Leavemealone 547]

Supersonic dropped the crab-arm she was holding and blinked. "What was that, Maple? Did you see? The only thing I know is that we don't have another ally. The chaos marines have an enemy. It's not the same thing."

After getting kicked by the champions giant boot Maple lost her breath and crashed into a tree. She gasped That really hurt She thought. She leaned back to let her lungs get some air. When she had recovered enough she stood up and walked over to the new fighter "Thank you for the help." She said to no one. She was still gripping her chest where the champion had kicked. One of her medics came over while the others where treating the other guards and offered to assist Maple. "Use the supplies on those who need it I'll be ok." She told the medic calmly. She turned to Supersonic "I think that was a space marine so they're on our side."

Moonshadow looked at Flare Blitz. "Wait... Your an alicorn!" He waited for a second "No... That horn's artificial. Captain Maple could use one of those ya know." He walked over to techno. "So are you a pony or a Space marine that looks like a pony? Because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me."

[Leavemealone 547]

Flare Blitz smiled. "Oh, this horn is the only one in existence. I'm not an Alicorn, but it can catch energy-both magical and technological-and repell it or deflect it. It can also channel the residual magic in the specially made rings that I have. I have seven rings: fire, ice, lightning, plasma, earth, wind, and colorless." He took off the ring he was wearing and stowed it.

Techno looked down at Maple with a confused face...

 

TU: Seriously I have no idea what you're talking about there. I think I'm just a normal pony like you anyways there was this voice from another being in my head talking about a great war plan or project. It was something like that I believe.

Hasdiel's foe fell to the plasma bolt. He crumpled to the dust, joining his chosen god in the warp. Elyssios was the source of the plasma. His orders show that another chaos pawn was beginning to a ritual to summon even more taint onto this world. The hellbrute was taken on by some xenos that Hasdiel was about to take on. He decided the champion was a bigger threat and headed off to take him on.

The yellow marine was aware of his injuries. The Astral Claw's armor subsystems blared red status markers in Hasdiel's HUD. His injuries will be taken care of later, right now the champion needed to be taken care of.

Arms of righteous fury struck cultists left and right from the Omnissiah's Axe as Hasdiel charged the champion summoning the foul daemons.

Techno then could feel that the evil force trying to get into his mindset was now getting stronger and was now tunnelling into his mind. The force was getting intercepted every time it tried to get into Techno. Techno then repled to the voice...

 

TU: Okay now you're trying to tunnel into my head! It's stronger than before but still I'm automatically intercepting every attack before they reach the core of my mindset!

In Canterlot, multiple camouflaged figures were moving fast trough the castle, it was a group of 8.

They were all heading for a particular destination, the vault.

When they arrived one of the camouflaged figures nodded, and a figure teleported next to the group.

It was a

Spoiler

 

Shadowseer from the Harlequins.

While this was happening, Bonesingers where constructing a small webway gate close to the vault.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Celestia was walking down the hall. It had been a busy day at canterlot as usual. She was heading to do the next thing on her long list. When she felt something, a presence. She couldn't see anything though. She decided to head down to the vault area since it was on the path to where she was going. As she walked closer she remembered that no one was guarding it due to lack of hands thanks to the thing the fell from the sky. She finally reached the vault and spotted a few figure. "Excuse me." She said calmly. "Could you tell me what you are doing here."

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

The bone singers ignored her as they continued working on the Webway portal.

The shadowseer looked at Celestia with intrigue.

 

"Don't mind us, we are just here to retrieve something, we will be on our merry way soon." The shadowseer said with a mystic yet unnerving voice behind her weird looking hood.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Celestia wasn't entertained by that answer nor the fact that humans where trying to enter the vault secretly. She started up a spell so her horn glowed. "This is the royal vault. If you needed something from it you would have brought it to my attention or my sister. Leave now! Or I will fetch the guard to make you." She worried about what was going to happen next. She could defend herself in a pinch but against sever enemies not for long.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

The shadowseer chuckled.

"Trying to ask for the Elements of Harmony would not be a wise course of action now would it Princess? We merely need to fetch those little jewels for our craftworld, you will be having them back in due time."

The shadowseer walked over the vault and used her physic powers to blow it apart. She then walked inside of it.

The striking scorpions were still camouflaged, protecting the shadowseer while remaining hidden at the same time. The bone singers were still working on their construct like they didn't even care what was going on.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

As soon as the vault door was blow open Celestia used her magic to put up a invisible magical barrier to protect the elements. The shadowseer walking into it. "I believe you didn't hear what I said the first time. Leave. Or there will be swift and dire consequences." Her horn glowed, She was signaling the nearby guards, who showed up in moments. She wanted to smash the thing they where building but they could leave with out the elements through there.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

The shadowseer turned around and let out a loud gigle.

"Then perhaps i will have to give you a push in the right direction."

She used her powers to enter Celestia's mind, one of the thing that every opponent is terrified off when facing off againts a shadowseer of the Harlequins.

She used her *Mirror of Minds* Technique wich let Celestia to be drawn into her own mind, thousands of mirrors where surrounding her from every direction.

"You are quite the lucky one Celestia, those who get trapped into my powers would be stuck here for months to come, descending into madness as time progresses, but i am letting you off the hook, i am an quite *generous* Eldar after all." the shadowseer said in a playful tone.

But Celestia was not the only victem of the Shadowseer's power.

The guards who where standing closed had been thrown into a confused state, unable to phantom what was going around them.

Those who face the Shadowseer without knowing its powers already doomed from the moment they look into her mask.

But her purpose of the powers was not just to keep Celestia in an occupied state, it also was used so the barrier that Celestia placed over the elements of harmony faltered due to her magic being cut off.

One of the striking scorpions gathered the box that contained the elements and retreated trough the webway gate.

The other striking scorpions and bone singers followed the same way.

"Trick or treath!" The shadowseer taunted to Celestia before she also retreated into the Webway, when they had all entered, the webway gate had relocated to a diffren't position. But because the Shadowseer was gone, the powers used on the guards and Celestia's mind where now also gone.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

After Celestia had been distracted by the mirrors for a few minutes, eventually she'd had enough of it. She caused a large blast with her horn breaking all of the mirrors and formed a barrier around herself to not get hurt by the shards. "Now how do I escape my own mind?" when she asked herself that she returned to the real world, Convenient She thought . "I don't know who they where but I hope they know that this means war..."

Small thing

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

The Eldar had relocated a bit outside of Canterlot, the Shadowseer and her small detachment had regrouped with some of the other Eldar.

"We have acquired these so called *elements of harmony*, but ruler confronted us, she seemed to be a very strong pysker. Tough it baffles me how these 4 legged creatures use their psychic powers without drawing them from the warp." The shadowseer said as she handed the box.

The other person was a Farseer from Craftworld Ulthwe, the doomed craftworld of seers that is located in the eye of terror (The very same place where most of the chaos traitor legions reside.)

"While those creatures do not use the warp, their presence in it is rather big, but what surprises me, even more, is how they managed to even exist for this long, A Tyranid hive fleet or ork invasion would have wiped them from the existence." The Farseer said as she held the box in her hands.

She opened the box and looked inside, and there were all 6 elements in it.

"These artefacts are exactly the same from my vision, it seems the prophecy has brought us luck so far." She said as she looked up to the mountain.

 

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Celestia knew that whoever that was is now a serious problem. She dashed up to her sisters room. "Sister the Elements of Harmony have been stolen by invaders"

Luna rose from where she was. "But Maple informed me Humans have no intention of harming us. Hold on..." She wrote a letter and gave it to the pony who had delivered the news of the humans "Get that to captain Maple as fast as you can." The pony nodded and stormed off moving quickly. Both the sisters where worried about what would happen now that the elements where gone.

[Leavemealone 547]

((Quick question, what the !?$# do the &@$#%&@ Eldar want with the Elements?!?!? @Mickey Adaptus Also, earlier you stated that my armor and weapons should be from Eldar origin, how do you think that the Eldar are going to react to that?))

Supersonic was resting with her army when her alert band glowed. Slowly, every single soldier in the army was woken by the glowing of their alert cuffs (alert bands or cuffs are a leather strap with a small purple gem set into the leather) and they sprung into action. Soon, every soldier had their small luggage packed up, and they all had shields and spears out. They know what this meant: Celestia was sending out an alert. They needed to get to the castle inmeadiately. Supersonic screamed, "MAPLE BAT! ALERT FROM CELESTIA! WE NEED TO GO!!!" Flare Blitz was at the side of Supersonic, at the head of the army. Then, some 350 Pegasi took flight, headed for Canterlot.

(Techno actually has no idea of what he's doing as he's following his instincts mindlessly here.  )

 

Techno didn't know what Maple's army was doing at first but he then got a strong feeling that the core components of his personality where under attack. He then naturally flew away and followed the army to Cantralot...

"If i may ask, where does the prophecy originate from? From what i have heard, the one who spoke it is among the unliving." The shadow seer asked with curiosity."

"The prophecy came from one of our most experienced and trusted members of the Seer Council. Eldrad himself, with his words, he spoke about these artefacts had to be gathered, but his words where vague, i suspect even his vision was blocked by something. But i cannot inquire why he would put faith so much in these things." The farseer said back.

Maple had flow off quickly. But before leaving she told Moonshadow to come with her leaving the rest of the guard behind. "I still feel off." She said flying back to the castle "Moonshadow this a dumb question but... Is the white bit of my left eye Orange?" She looked at Him and it still was. Something else was messing with her magic, but what...

---------------------------------------------

Meanwhile Celestia was pacing "Sister what if they don't make it in time they may get away with the elements then twilight and her friends...."

Luna Interrupted Celestia by saying "Look Twilight and her friends are fine without the elements. They've done a lot without them."

Celestia calmed down a bit. "You're right. I just worry that we may need them again and I want to have them when the time comes."

"It is quite fascinating, but didn't Eldrad's soul get claimed by Slaane- The great enemy?" The Shadowseer asked.   

"That is correct Harlequin, but fragments of his soul still resided among the material realm, and if it weren't for his guidance, our Craftworld would have fallen long ago. But we need to keep moving, those ponies are quite persistent, but one thing is in our favour. While the ponies and humans fight against the chaos followers, it will distract them from our operation, we merely have to use this war as a way to mask our presence further." The Farseer said as they started heading towards their next destination.
