“Quick, grab him by the shoulders!”
“Hold his head back!”
“Lemme hit him in the nuts again!”
“Wait!” Discord screamed. He held his hands over his bruised and battered face, cowering beneath the gazes of all three Chaos Gods. “What are you guys doing? I thought we were bros?”
“As if we’d be bros with such a weak and pathetic, sniveling whelp like yourself!” Nurgle jeered, spitting a toxic wad of decay that melted the floor at Discord’s feet.
“Now that you’re buddy-buddy with the Big E himself, you’re nothing to us!” Khorne bellowed. “And not only that, you’re friends with one of these meatsack ponies! Disgraceful!”
“And not only that, but this creature is the apparent leader around here instead of you,” Tzeentch reminded him, his arcane fires glowing a ghastly dark blue for but a moment. “You put our name to shame for allowing such a thing to transverse inside your realm, Discord. You are no bro of ours if this is the result of your rule in this pitiful world.”
Discord got back up to his feet, hopping from foot to foot while he pulled up his dukes. “Oh, you think I’m just going to let you guys beat me up like that?” He faked some punches and jabbed left to right, his toes on fire as he circled around the three Ruinous Powers. “Well, you got another thing coming! Since this is my realm, the odds are in my favor, so you’re gonna have a pretty—”
“Oh, but this isn’t your realm anymore, is it?” Tzeentch asked. The demonic bird of prey turned to Celestia and pointed a single claw at her. “It’s hers. Which means your power is equal to our own in here.”
Discord was picked up off his feet as he felt two slimy hands clamped around his arms which were then forced behind his back. “Which also means there only needs to be two of us to take you out,” Nurgle whispered in his ear, most of the hairs on Discord’s face vaporizing from Nurgle’s breath.
Tzeentch punched Discord in the gut, which was quickly followed by another fist as Tzeentch started an even pace of pummeling Discord. “Hey, Khorne, you want in on this?” Tzeentch asked.
“I believe—ooph—Khorne has—ugh—better things to do with his pre—my kidneys!” Discord screamed, his voice turning up a few notches and then some.
Khorne turned away from the three and waved his hand passively over his shoulder. “Nah, I have something better in mind.” Khorne dragged his massive sword behind his back, each step bringing him close and closer to his prize. A sitting duck pony princess who was too shocked by the events transpiring around her to beat a hasty retreat. “I’m gonna kill the Emperor’s girlfriend!”
“Wait, girlfriend?” Celestia asked, seconds before she remembered to dodge to the side to avoid getting her head cleaved off.
Khorne’s sword smashed into the ground and set off an earthquake, causing the entire castle to shudder and shake at the seams. Cracks ran through the floor like a flood, and the path of destruction of the sword’s fall didn’t just stop where it landed, but continued like a wave across the floor and up and walls and even the ceiling of the banquet hall. Picking up his sword like it weighed less than nothing, Khorne turned back towards Celestia, chunks of the destroyed ceiling falling around the pair like hail.
“When I’m done with you, I’ll add your skull to my throne. You should be honored. I’ve never had a pony on there before.” Khorne pointed the tip of his sword at Celestia face, a maddening laugh escaping from within the confines of his skeletal helmet. “But I’ll assure you, once I’m done with this planet, they’ll be plenty of them.”
Before Khorne could take a step forward to make good on his promise, he was knocked back by a magical energy bolt slamming right against his chest. Celestia’s horn was aglow with power fueled by desperation and anger. While Khorne was only pushed back a single step, it had set him off balance, so that another shot nearly sent him toppling over.
“I’ll never allow you or your kind to hurt my little ponies!” Celestia shouted, her voice booming in the traditional Royal Canterlot Voice. “I’d rather see you dead than allow that to happen!”
“Yes! Let the violence feed your power! It only makes mine stronger!” Khorne laughed, taking a running start before he leaped in the air to plunge his sword at Celestia’s neck. She teleported at the last second before his blade could make contact, his sword instead embedding itself in the floor and causing a large chunk of the room to just explode outward into the gardens and courtyards outside the castle, rumble raining everywhere as far as the eye could see.
“Let’s see how strong you are after this!” Celestia bellowed, appearing directly behind Khorne, his back vulnerable to her. Building up as much energy as she could muster, Celestia released it in a hellish ball of pure magic, the inferno impacting with Khorne’s back with a force that sent him falling to his knees. His entire body was consumed by flames, his armor fusing to his skin and parts of himself melting to fall into a pool around his feet.
Khorne remained on his knees, unmoving. Celestia sighed in relief, a noticeable sweat having formed on her forehead. Relaxing her stance, she chuckled. “Well, that wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be. I think Geom may have been exaggerating about how tough these guys actually are.”
“Actually, no, he was pretty damn accurate,” Khorne replied, getting back to his feet with a hop in his step. The flames that had consumed him before were depleted, leaving his armor a smokey black. His armor itself didn’t look worse for the wear either, it already repairing itself like it was an alive entity. Within seconds, Khorne was back to his usual self, with almost no indication of injury at all. “As for you, I’ll enjoy spreading your blood across all four corners of your world!”
Khorne lifted his sword up high in the air and charged at Celestia, slashing and hacking in an aimless pattern to reach her. Celestia herself could only dodge and duck at Khorne’s attacks, his sword so ridiculously big that even with the intensity and speed of Khorne’s thrusts, Celestia always maneuvered to avoid them.
After an stab that nearly took off the majority of her head, Celestia growled, her mane once again blazing to life as a large quantity of magic that had been storing up in her horn was sparked to life. “Okay, enough of this!” Celestia poured the majority of her magic into her next attack, releasing it like a damn fit for bursting right at Khorne’s chest. “Let’s see how strong you really are!”
Khorne was flung back, his feet digging into the floor. Tiles and cement piled up at the back of his feet, but the God of Blood made no indication of a stagger or of being struck. When he finally came to a rest, he adjusted his sword to rest on his shoulder. He glanced down at his chest, then chuckled. There was a gigantic hole in his armor, allowing a clear view for anyone looking through to see the other side. Celestia could have practically flown right through it with no trouble at all.
However, the hole was slowly being filled up, the meat nothing but a dark and twisted representation of the Warp refilling to its proper structure while the armor melted to fit back on the skin. Just like before, Khorne was completely healed, Celestia’s attacks utterly useless against his amazingly rapid healing process.
“Stronger than you,” Khorne laughed, taking his sweet time to approach the speechless princess. Swinging his sword off his shoulders and taking a running start, Khorne leaped through the air and readied his blade for the finishing attack to tear the pony asunder once and for all. “And that’s all that matters!”
Cock tease.
4543073
Yeah, the Empra can be a real diBLAM
Wait until Luna jumps in to kick Khorne's ass. The other chaos gods are totally going to tease him for losing to a pair of pretty pony princesses
Poor Discord. Don't get me wrong, the sadist in me is laughing my ass off, but that poor bastard.
I'm sure everyone's expecting Geom to leap to Celestia's protection...but I have the sudden mental image of Khorne's sword bouncing off Celestia, and the Gods of Chaos discovering that, for whatever reason, they can't hurt ponies. That'd be interesting.
Either that, or Twilight and the others showing up and blasting them with the EoH. Repeatedly. With extreme prejudice. With them getting up after each blast to get out half a line before getting blasted again.
My guess is that Slaanesh is that Yandere girl whose whole plan was to break down the Emperors will until she/he/whatever could seduce him. You know in a messed up "notice me Sempai" kind of way...

This is way to fucking short to be considered a full chapter.

Khorne himself repels magic, even the magic of Friendship cannot stop his hate!
I want this chaotic filth to die now! They dare to meet the Princess with violence, they should be wiped from existance!
Somehow, i still get the feeling that what Geom is going through right now is even worse...
But kudos for letting us see Celestia fight Khrone. Granted, she's one the defensive but then again, it's Khrone! Yet, we still see Celestia is not helpless.
Eagerly awaiting next chapter!
… Normally, this is the part where someone saves Celly, but that just wouldn't fit… Not only is it a terrible cliche, it also just ruins the sense of despair. One thing about this is that the reader FEELS a sense of dread in them, growing greater every line. I realize that this IS a Celly oriented fic, but still, maybe it would be best to kill her off… Just saying.
4543904 Yeah, I don't blame you Meanwhile, Khorne is just creaming Celestia, if you know what I mean
4544712
Khorne's rather more chatty than I expected, I thought he'd be "Rarrgh, maim, crush, burn, kill, kill, kill!"
4545038
Old Khorne was actually a strategist. Intelligent and cunning. It's only the new Khorne who's a gibbering idiot.
4544463
Surprise surprise. A Dalek trying to mask his intent behind more words for once. What you really meant to say was "EXTERMINATE!"
______
Also... Khorne's supposed to be weaker since they're in Celestia's realm. The hell.
MORE!
Honestly... I'm kind of disappointed that you went with this plot line...everything was moving so nicely and then you pulled the old 'well here are my college friends... wait they're not really my friends?!' plotline out. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be over soon.
Hm. They seem weaker somehow...
Hmm... I always thought Discord would cause infighting between them. they are so powerful because they back each other up? but they hate each other. they are opposites. do you know what emotion caused tzeentch to be born? HOPE. Nurgle? FEAR. they should start fighting at Discord's will. A house divided cannot stand.
Also, Tzeentch is not acting normal. he hates all the other chaos gods. he prefers planning over brute force. he represents HOPE. just putting it out there.
4545291 Khorne is the most powerful of them all. he is unstoppable in the flesh. he is no longer invincible, but he is still OP.
4544981 ?
And Geom hasn't even stepped into the fight yet. XD
4545848 opposites attract. That's all I'm saying.
why do I have the feeling Slaneesh actually likes Equestria

Celestia, if the god of violence regenerates from the first massive energy blast, stop firing them.
In any case, looking forward to more. This should be very interesting.
And here I was, thinking Discord would actually turn out to be Slaanesh.
But jeez, all four Gods? Versus a sparkly horse and a gold zombie? They're gonna need some kind of tactical genius...
CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!
4288060 Don't forget The Laughing God of the Eldar too. . . I can't remember his name, the one that protects the Harlequin's souls from Slaanesh.
4543911 Them being unable to hurt ponies would indeed be interesting, but kinda anticlimactic. I'm thinking Celestia will just teleport out of the way, and then hopefully use speed, strategy, and clever application of magic to turn the tables. The last 4 or 5 paragraphs make me think Celestia will realize she needs to rely on intelligence, skill, and the versatility of her magic to have a chance against Khorne (I'm betting she tricks him into hitting one of the other chaos gods with illusions or teleportation). Recall that in this story pony magic is not connected to the warp, so the ruinous powers probably can't sense it like they could psychic powers; there could be a big advantage in that.
As for the EOH, remember Celestia sent Luna to get the mane six to the tree of harmony, apparently in case it would be necessary for them to launch some sort of last resort attack. (Of course, Luna was barely awake, so who knows if she actually did that...) Your idea for Twilight and friends is cool, but I'm sensing something way more apocalyptic will happen if (or more likely when...) they play their card.

Slaanesh is the abomination of the Eldar. The original four Chaos Gods were Order, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Khorne. When they were born from the Warp being corrupted by the C'tan, they immediately killed Order because they sensed that he was a danger to all three of them. For a time there were only three Chaos Gods.
Prior to that, the Eldar controlled the four beings that the Old Ones created to be the caretakers of the Warp, using spells given to them by said Old Ones, with whom they were actually in contact with at that point in time.
4646325 knock knock.
What is this... HERESY?!
You know you wanna read it.
Shut the FETH up, Slaanesh.
Although I really wanna gakking read it it.
4647269 IIRC 40k lore says that there a many gods in the Warp, just that Slaanesh, Tzeentch, Khorne and Nurgle are the main 4. You have the minor gods like Malal, Ans'l, Mo'rcck and Phraz-Etar.
Sorry, where did you find the God 'Order'? All I can find is that Order is a metaphysical force in 40k, things like the God Emperor or the Eldar Gods are considered to be (part of the force of order and) directly opposed to the forces of disorder (which happens to include the Ruinous powers).

I'm off to look for the source again, I suppose. Since you seem to have looked yourself first, I don't mind.
From memory, it was the being who was born alongside Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh from the corruption of the Warp, and was immediately set upon and torn apart. What I do remember solidly is that it's said where the pieces of its body lie is where the Warp is calmed. Providing natural safe havens within it where creatures can live and be safe from daemonic entities and pervasive Warp corruption and upheavals.
Now I just need to find where the blast I read that.
I LUV this story, but when will it be finished?
nice Story so far, Keep going
It's been a while since this has updated.
Soooo, you dropped this fanfic?
Thats shame, i realy enjoyed it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7AC5M7F4ysThat past mistakes will be corrected, the chaos will be destroyed. For the Empire ... For the Emperor.
