Chapter One: Unexpected Savior

"But mooooom!" A little black alicorn filly whined, as she followed a lavender alicorn down a street in Ponyville. "I want to stay home and keep reading those books you started with, when you were a filly!"

The lavender alicorn smiled at her daughter, while she walked up to her. She looked at the teal eyes behind her glasses. "Nyx, I'm sorry but we have to go visit Auntie Rarity. After all, you need a dress for the Grand Galloping Gala coming up." Her mother said, leaning down to nuzzle the smaller alicorn.

"But Auntie Rarity is going to put those silly dresses on me… They are too tight." Nyx said, lowering her head in defeat.

The lavender alicorn smirked at her response, remembering the day she first met the unicorn Rarity. "Oh, don't worry about it, dear. If you're good, we'll go by the book store and get you a new book." She said, trying to convince Nyx to tolerate the visit. "Plus, Sweetie Belle will be there."

Nyx face suddenly lit up with excitement. "Really? Yay! And you're right, Sweetie Belle is fun to play with!" She said, bouncing around her mother, the two of them making their way to a rather decorated house, where a white unicorn, with a purple mane, was waiting for them.

"Twilight! Nyx! Darlings, welcome to my boutique! I must say, I am most excited to design a dress for the Princess of Friendship, and her adooooorable daughter." The unicorn shouted, waving her hoof at the two of them.

"Thanks for doing this on such short notice, Rarity… I wanted Nyx to look her best for the Grand Galloping Gala." Twilight said, hugging Rarity tightly.

"Anything for my dear friends, and their fillies, Twilight, dear." Rarity said, looking down at the filly alicorn. "Are you ready, Nyx? I have the most gorgeous of dresses picked out and ready to be fitted for you."

Nyx slowly nodded, ears dropping into her mane, seeming rather nervous at the event. "Y-Yes, Auntie Rarity." She said, following Rarity inside, Twilight walking behind the two of them.

On a distant planet, where a terrible battle waged between the forces of Chaos, and a few brave Space Marines, things seemed to be dark until a group of Salamander Terminators took to the field, and lead their battle brothers into battle!

"With me, Sons of Vulkan! Into the Fires of Battle, and Unto the Anvil of War!" One particular Salamanders Terminator, armor decorated with the scales of the Salamanders on Nocturne and wielding both a thunder hammer with a storm shield. "Let us push back these Traitors, and send them back to their masters!"

The regular Space Marines, with Scouts, all cheered at their honored battle brother and charged alongside him! Crashing into a line of Word Bearer Chaos Space Marines. "With Brother Zu'hal, brothers! He leads the way!" A Salamanders Sergeant called out, before a regiment of Guardsmen came out into the charge, as well.

"The Salamanders answered our calls for help! Don't let them fight this battle alone, Guardsmen!" A Commissar yelled, his Guardsmen all cheering and charging in with the demi gods.

Brother Zu'hal clashed into the Chaos Space Marines, swinging his mighty thunder hammer from side to side, crushing any traitor he saw. "Is that truly the best you have, Traitors!? In Vulkan's name, I shall defeat every last one of you!" He called out, before crushing a Heretic under the hammer's head.

Without warning, Zu'hal dodged a doombolt that was heading straight for his face, allowing it to crash into the ground behind him. The Salamander glared in the direction it came from, and saw a Sorcerer standing among his guards. "Is this all you can muster, Salamander? A few Space Marines, and some rag tag guardsmen? Truly, your Corpse Emperor has failed you." The Apostle taunted, preparing another spell.

"Do not insult the God Emperor's name, Traitor!" Zu'hal quickly charged into the Apostle's guards, barrel into them and smashing through them like they were nothing. "I'll crush you where you stand! This I swear!" He swung his thunder hammer towards the traitor, but missed when he backed away, still charging his spell and drawing a demonic power sword.

"It will be you who falls today, Salamander. Your soul will be a worthy offering to the Dark Gods." The Sorcerer said, charging into the Terminator, in attempts to try and slash into a weak point in his armor but failed when the Terminator blocked his attack with the storm shield.

The two champions fought as if they were avatars of their deities, their weapons clashing with electrified power. The warriors of both side trying to keep the ground around them a perfect battlefield, creating a front line where the two were at its center. When the Sorcerer was able to push the Terminator back, with a spell, he was growling at the resilience of the Salamanders.

"Enough with this farce! I will end this now, with one fell swoop!" He called out, preparing a spell within his sword. The ground around him started to crack up, rocks floating in the air. Lightning striking the ground, giving off the feel of an extremely powerful spell being prepared. Those close to him, could hear a strange prayer being made to the Dark Gods.

Zu'hal suddenly charged the Sorcerer, mid cast. "I won't allow you to pervert this world any further than your traitorous kind already has!" He bellowed, suddenly appearing in front of the Sorcerer, and brought his hammer down on to him.

By accident, the Sorcerer quickly pulled his sword up to parry the large hammer… When their weapons collided, a large amount of twisted energy, mixed with divine energy, started to crack and explode around the two. "You fool! What have you done! Your actions have created a tear in reality!" The Sorcerer yelled, as their forms started to shift and pull themselves away from each other.

The Salamanders slammed the head of his hammer into the Apostle's midsection…. Throwing all breath out of his next words. "If I die, and take you with me, then it will be a good death!" Zu'hal yelled, before they were both gone in a blink of an eye…. The Word Bearers, without their champion, now falling back at the face of the Salamanders… The Space Marines rallied at the sacrifice of their honored battle brother, who stuck true to the Promethean Cult's teachings.

Twilight and Nyx slowly walked outside of Rarity's boutique… The sound of thunder and flash of lightning made the two alicorns look up into the sky. "That's strange… Rainbow Dash said there wouldn't be any rain today…" Twilight said, noticing that the storm clouds had a strange purple color to them.

"Um… Mom… I don't think those are rain clouds." Nyx said, hiding under her mother.

"She's right, Twilight! I didn't cause this!" A blue Pegasus yelled out, flying up to her friend. "This is a freak storm, some of the other Pegasi are trying to quell it, but it's refusing to listen to us."

Twilight raised an eyebrow at her friend's words. "If you didn't cause this, Rainbow Dash, then what did?" She asked, looking up at the sky and saw something that made her jaw go slack.

Within the center of the cloud, a large silhouette of someone appeared. Before long, they could see the green body falling straight to the ground. "Get out of the way every pony!" Rainbow Dash yelled, quickly flying over and moving a group of ponies from the crash site before the person could hit, whoever it was made a massive hole in the ground, crackling sounds coming from inside the crater they made.

"Nyx, go and hide! Quickly." Twilight said, floating up into the air, and facing her daughter.

"But… Mom, I want to help." Nyx said, trying to fly up but her wings had to move a lot quicker than her mothers. "I can help!" She said, looking up at the older alicorn.

"It isn't safe, dear… Go and hide until I say to come out, alright?" Twilight said, as the little alicorn nodded, flying over to a nearby building. She quickly sat down, and poked her head out from around the tower portion of the building, so she could watch what occurred.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash went over to the hole, lucky for them the others of their little group were in town and came to investigate the crash. "What in tarnation is going on? Big Mac and me were selling apples, when we heard a loud crash. Every pony alrigh'?" An orange Earth Pony asked, as she rushed up.

"Yeah! That bad noise made me ruin a perfectly good cupcake!" A Pink One screamed, freaking out over something so small.

A yellow Pegasus arrived, as Rarity made her way outside. "Y-Yeah… The animals at my home are all going crazy because of the sound." The yellow Pegasus said, looking at the others.

"Every pony is alright, Apple Jack… But Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, get ready. I don't know who this is, or what caused him to fall, but if he needs help, we have to aid him." Twilight said, making her way over the crater, in the ground, and look inside. "U-Um… Are you alright in there?" She asked, barely making out something green and black at the bottom of it.

A pair of red eyes suddenly appeared inside. "That heretical traitor sent me to a Xenos planet!?" A deep, metallic, voice growled. "I'll dispose of them, before hunting his hide down!" Before Twilight knew it, a behemoth of metal exploded from the crater it had made and attempted to smash his shield on to her.

The alicorn was too quick for the giant, and moved away from his reach. "Whoa! That's a really big human!" She yelled, noticing the body structure and obvious armor around his body.

"What do you mean, Twilight? He seems like a normal human from the fairy tales." Rainbow Dash said, ready to tackle into the attacker.

"Most Humans get up to six feet tall, rarely seven." She explained, looking towards the metal giant, as he pulled himself out of the ground and showed the hammer in his right hand. "This guy is easily nine feet tall. Which means, he's not normal." The group prepared to fight, the moment the attacker's eyes were on them.

"Hm? So you Equine Xenos aren't like those cowardly Eldar…. Good, I need to vent my anger." He growled out, stepping forward and actually making the ground shake with each step. "Ready when you six are." He challenged, revealing the crackling energy around his hammer.

"You're never ready for us, you big bully!" Pinkie Pie said, before her and Rainbow Dash charged towards the metal, aiming to try and tackle him back into the crater…. However, they were met with a metal wall, the giant not even budging an inch.

"Hm? That's all you got? You aren't cowardly like the Eldar, but you are rather weak like them…" He said, before trying to bring his hammer down on to Pinkie Pie, only for Rainbow Dash to quickly recover and get her friend out of the away in time. "Damn, they're fast!" He blurted out, nearly toppling over. "And my armor has been over used from fighting that traitor…" He looked around, noticing that Twilight and Rarity suddenly shot a spell towards him! Causing the giant to falter in his steps…. Towards a certain building.

"I'm gonna teach ya a lesson yer never gonna forget, big fella!" Apple Jack yelled, rushing up to the giant, quickly turning around and prepared to kick him hard as she could. When the giant noticed the orange pony, it was already too late! She slammed her back hooves right into his stomach and sent him flying straight towards the building!

The metal giant slammed through the wall, causing the building to become unstable! It was then that Twilight noticed Nyx was behind that building, and it was starting to collapse in her direction. "Nyx! Run!" She called out, but noticed a piece of the building fell on to her hoof.

"I-I'm stuck! Mom, help!" She called out, as the building was starting to fall towards the ground. "MOM!" She screamed.

"NYX!" Twilight yelled, before a large shadow suddenly appeared around the little alicorn, and the building crashed down, kicking up dust and covering what had happened. "My baby!" Twilight flew straight over to the building, starting to dig through the pieces of the building, the others joining in the search.

"W-Where did the big guy go!?" Rainbow Dash yelled, only seeing his hammer and shield off to the side.

"Who cares about that varmint!? We got to see if Nyx is alrigh'!" Apple Jack yelled, while helping dig through the rocks.

When they pulled away enough of the building, Twilight saw a green metal underneath one, before being forced to back away! The metal giant suddenly exploded from the rubble, both of his hands covering something within them. His breathing was rough, and his steps seemed a bit off, like he was hurt. Twilight just looked up at him, laying on her back from the surprise, when the red eyes just looked at her.

"Get away from Twilight!" Rainbow Dash yelled, before Twilight quickly got up and in front of her.

The alicorn flew up to him, hearing his breathing, and just looked at his red eyes. "W-Where is my baby?" She asked, on the verge of tears.

The metal giant just stared back at her, before looking down at his hands… He opened them, and revealed the small alicorn filly, unharmed, within them. "A… Son of Vulkan… Is sworn to protect the innocent, no matter who they are." His metallic voice said, before the filly opened her eyes and saw her mother floating above her.

"Mommy!" She yelled, quickly flying up and hugging Twilight, nuzzling into the older alicorn's chest.

Twilight was at a loss for words, she couldn't believe what had just happened… The metal giant was attacking them, and when her daughter was in danger, instead of fighting further... He saved her. She looked up at him, a smile slowly forming on to her face. "T-Thank you… And I'm sorry that we attacked you." She admitted, feeling like she should.

He tilted his head, and looked around, noticing the damage that their little fight had caused. "No… It is I who should be sorry." He returned his red gaze to Twilight. "It seems, in my anger after fighting a traitor, I caused some damage to your home." He reached up, and grabbed hold of his helmet. With a hiss, he slowly removed it, and revealed the char coal skin and deep red eyes underneath. "To make up for my anger, I shall help repair the damage I caused."

"Wait… What!? You were just fighting us, now you are wanting to help us rebuild?" Rainbow Dash asked, completely confused by what he said.

He looked at the blue Pegasus, "Yes… It happens with those within the Salamanders… After all, our Chapter was nearly decimated by the traitor legions, and our Primarch taken from us by them. So… When we fight them, we sort of go into a blind rage." He looked around again, assessing the damage done. "Looks like a full day's work, if I have the right tools to use." He turned to the lavender pony, who was still holding her child. "I am Brother Zu'hal, Terminator of the Salamanders. Please, allow me to make up for my transgression against you."

Twilight looked at him, and noticed the scales he was wearing around his armor, then the mark he bore on his left shoulder. "Um… Sure, every hoof would be a great help, but… Avoid my assistance. Your trophies may scare him." Twilight said, nodding to Zu'hal.

The Terminator tilted his head at the statement. "Why would my trophies scare him?" He asked, looking at the Salamander skins adorning his armor, along with their skulls.

"Because he's a baby dragon, and… You're wearing what seems like dragon skins." Twilight answered, making the Salamander look up and realize why it would now.

"Ah…That would make sense." He walked over and grabbed his hammer and shield, mag locking them to his armor. "Now then, where are the tools I can use to help rebuild? I rather get started." He asked.

Twilight smiled, now holding Nyx in her hooves, before her horn suddenly started to glow. Within seconds, a few tools suddenly floated over to the Salamander, and were presented to him. "Will these do?" She asked.

Zu'hal opened both hands, and eyed the tools… Revealing, compared to his armor, they were rather small. "Um… If I am to use these, I need to get out of my Terminator armor." He said, looking around for a second. "Which… I'll need help with, and some clothes to put on afterwards."

The moment the giant said "needed clothes" Rarity was right on top of him with a strange look in her eyes. "Did you just say you needed clothes!? My, my, my! I think I can help with that situation, dear! Just come with me to my boutique, there we can get that armor off of you, and get you some clothes fitted." Up close to him now, she noticed the craftsmanship of his armor, and how the trophies complimented it. "I must say… You have quite the taste, and style. I think we'll get along great." She said, before her horn glowed and the giant was being pulled away.

Zu'hal looked around, as the others were starting to laugh at him. "Um… Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" He asked, now starting to feel his entire armor starting to be pulled after the white unicorn.
