"Even if they were, what good would it do? I have become beyond the mere, power of trinkets like swords and guns." Vect said.
"Who said I needed them to be loaded?" Russ asked his hand slowly sliding across one of the rifles.
"Then what good will they do? You intend to beat me to death with them? Cause that won't work either."
"No. Of course not." Russ said. "How far pray tell, does this "power" get you?"
"Ha! You wish to see the true extent of this power? Let me tell you, I am beyond swords and guns, you can't hurt me. Perhaps only the mightiest of forces could do me harm!"
"How convenient. Cause I have one right HERE!"
Russ threw the splinter rifle like a spear, it's blade burying deep within Vect's arm. The lord of Commoragh screamed, trying to pull the indescribably sharp blade out, and failing.
"Khan! Now!"
In a massive flash, Vect found himself missing one of his arms. He glared at the primarch.
"You! You.... think even now you can defeat me?!.....I still have this!" From his belt, Vect held up the element of loyalty......
Only for it be snatched away by Rainbow Dash.
"Good job." Russ muttered. He charged right at the overlord of the Dark Eldar.
Vect gave a gasp of pain as Russ bounded over and hit him in the gut. Bringing his massive foot down, Russ was awarded with a satisfying SNAP.
Taking his other splinter rifle, he brought it down into Vect's chest.
To his surprise, Vect was still alive. Very well, that left only the main event.
"Again." Russ said.
It was a good thing Khan had a good place to put Vect.
Right in front of a collapsing building. And as far as the buildings in Commoragh go, a few literal million tons of rubble were upon Vect.
And in those moments, the Lord of Commoragh disappeared forever. Buried under a million tons worth of rubble. His bones grinded to dust under the tremendous weight.

"Take a look at this." A space wolf said opening the doors of a vault. The light in the room was blinding, it's source, was mountains of precious metals and stones. "Enough gold in here to buy Terra."
"Start plundering." Russ said over the vox. "We're gonna need a good trophy for back home since I lost his head. Might as well as take something he owns."

As predicted, following Vect's death, whatever order left in Commoragh went straight to hell. The kabals began to fight among each other like mad dogs, eventually, they would only destroy themselves.
The numbers were.... large, but it was later assumed that almost every slave managed to escape the dark city. Billions of souls would be safe from the lash and chain of the Dark Eldar.
The plunder brought home by Leman Russ was put to good use. It could fund for the construction of another victory armada, it could feed a few billion mouths, whatever. And in the hands of The Emperor, this wealth would easily be put to good use than being placed in a vault owned by a miser lord.
Despite her injuries, the apothecaries were able to restore Fluttershy into her old appearance and heal any injuries. Her mental state was a different matter........
This however too was fixed. It was decided that her memory would be wiped of this experience. It was for the best after all.
The element of loyalty placed back to where it belonged in Canterlot castle. Though this time, the princesses and The Emperor personally kept a good eye on it.
That's was when The Emperor commissioned a project to connect Equestria with Titan........................................
