"Remarkable, for a country to maintain a thousand years of peace is quite the accomplishment. In my life the vast majority of my time was spent dealing with a conflict of some kind. Even if not directly in battle." The giant sat and leaned forward to hear his host. While he could not fit into her house, she had decided to bring out some tea regardless. Zecora was had explained the basics of Equestria to Vulkan, he had asked simply questions and now held a understanding of his location.
No where, no where in the Imperium for that matter, but that mattered little at this point. The dominant species on this planet was the ponies of Equestria. Other sapient species were but not limited to Yaks, Dragons, Zebras, Minotaurs, Griffins and many others. The planet of Equis was rather lush with life and hosted vast troves of gems and gold beneath the surface. War was near unheard of, and magic was common place. The Primarch had asked about magic as much as possible. He had to abate his worries on the subject. Once he was satisfied the man allowed Zecora to ask questions. All the while she spoke in rhymes, basic things, Vulkan had a harder time to explain his story than her. She could barley wrap her mind around the of the Imperium, let alone the scale of humanity. Not that she was stupid, it was just a massive jump, she lived on a feudal world and had no idea just how large the galaxy truly was. Nor the technology he casually spoke of, nor the danger. He didn't wish to scare her with the knowledge of what was truly out there, so he left it at '...many aliens are not friendly, and the galaxy is home to unspeakable horrors.'
After many hours of question exchange between the pair, the two of them saw the light start to dim as the sun lowered. "Ah, it is time for the Princesses to raise the moon and lower the sun. But it feels that our conversation has just begun."
"The Equestrian Princesses? What do you mean?" Vulkan turned his head to look at the sun and raised an eye brow as he look back at Zecora.
"They are responsible for ruling and controlling night and day. It has always been this way. Celestia moves the sun, and Luna the moon. The two of them are in-tune. They are not goddesses though they are strong, if any say they are, then they are wrong. I suppose you would not have known this. They are respected all over Equis. Now if I may ask, who is up to the task. Of moving your sun or stars, do you you have somepony like ours?" At this the man frowned.
"No one moves the sun or moon of any planet. Night and day are the result of a planet spinning. One side is night the other is day. You cant control that. All planets orbit around their star, this causes the seasons since it is rare for a planet to have a vertical axis." As Vulkan spoke he ball his hands into fits, one stationary and the other in motion around it. From here their views clashed, each insisted on their view. Zecora swore that when the princesses were kidnapped they could not change the sky, and the world sat in a twilight till they were rescued. The pair argued for a long enough that the sun finished its descent.
“Look the moon rises, just as I have said so there are no surprises.” the man saw she was correct. The moon took its place in the sky remarkably fast. Vulkan continued to gaze at the sky, possibilities ran through his super human mind. He was no Magnus, but he wasn’t a dunce.
“When you spoke of magic earlier you mentioned that some of the ponies of Equestria can manipulate the weather.” Zecora nodded before she spoke. She talked about the pegesusai, and their talents. This lead to a short history of Equestria. She had failed to mention the differences between the three pony tribes in her previous history lesson. As brief as these classes were, Vulkan started to run out of ways that this planet was normal. The ponies controlled the weather, the seasons, and the plants in their realms. And allegedly the Sun, moon and stars as well. After some more discussions Vulkan decided to end the disagreement, “I have not seen what you consider normal anywhere else, lets just drop our star argument and talk about something else.”
Zecora smiled before she rubbed her eye with her hoof and stretched, “Actually I find myself rather sleepy, it has been long since the sun’s set. Though I would be happy, if tomorrow we met.”
“Ahh, of course my apologies. I am capable of going days without rest, I sometimes forget that others can not. But...” the man spoke and seemed to deepen his voice suddenly, “SLEAP GOUD. I would be remiss to deprive you of it. I shall find my self a place to stay for the night.” While Vulkan was semi obvious to his change in voice the brief laps in character was only picked up for a moment by Zecora. After he continued his normal jolly sounding speech she dismissed it.
“If you like you could stay, my home may not be large but being near will keep dangerous creatures away.” the zebra motioned to her tree house, he was nearly as tall as it. Perhaps just as heavy, but he could easily lean against it to sleep. Vulkan smiled for a moment.
“I won’t refuse such a kind offer. Though I sincerely doubt you could find a single creature that could cause me permanent harm.” Zecora rolled her eyes before she smiled to herself, “Judging by your smirk you would disagree.” Vulkan spoke in a mirthful tone as if he didn’t care that she didn’t believe him. The fact that she found humour in it was enough for him to also find it funny.
“You may be tall, armored, and strong. But even you can be wrong, when it comes to danger. This forest has no other contender. From a rocky cliff to a timber wolf pack, I would quite sad if you did not come back.” Vulkan’s smile was wide, her concern was quite the tender gesture. “Timber wolves are as tall as me, and they are no cup of tea. There are many packs of of these unnatural creatures, and each has there own terrorizing features.”
Vulkan walked to the before he sat next to it, “If only to reassure you, I will tell you that I am taller and stronger that most of my family. And even then one of my brothers grew up on a frozen world filled with wolves as large as eight feet tall. I have faced far worse monsters and larger than those you have here, things even larger and stronger than me. But I came out alive, I do appreciate your concern though. It just means you care.” Zecora had a hard time thinking of something larger before the hydra and dragons flashed into her mind.
She smiled and nodded. ’It would make sense that he has met larger monsters, though he should still be carful. A spider can be the size of your nose and have a bite which can lay you to rest.’ The pair exchanged there goodnights before the shaman enter her home to rest.
For a plot idea, I think it would be intriguing if Vulkan ended up defending the planet from one of the more xenophobic aspects of the Imperium. Be it the Inquisition, Black Templars, or another Primarch (either Leman Russ or Lion El Jonson)
Love this story

How would they get there is the issue I see with that, Mlp and Warhammer have to be in completely different universes. There is no way that the chaos gods would not have fucked Equetria up by now, and you could argue Sobra or Nightmaremoon could be their influence, I still disagree. Both were dark but not anywhere near the fucked up shit that is the chaos gods. So since they are separate and the only reason Vulkan is there is because of the reality bending powers of the 'WAAAGH!'. It makes me think that finding a way to get them there is quite hard. Not that your idea is bad its GREAT. But I also have a hard time thinking of ways that the imperium would be in conflict with Equestria, and not destroy everything except Vulkan with cannons. He is immortal and near invincible but he isn't able to stop that.

I would have to agree, also what's your take of discord, on the topic of chaos gods and such and IF MLP and 40k were to be in same world (universe)
10013949
The chaos gods are not wholy evil, but the are really evil. Basically they suck. Discord is not evil, he is manipulative, traitorous and unpredictable. But thats not necessarily a terrible thing. He hasn't really caused much physical harm to ponies in his life, and the psychological was minor. I would say he is like the best parts of tzeentch, and kinda just a bad friend sometimes. Not evil just not great. No relation to the chaos gods btw.

Okay

Well, the way I merged the worlds in my fanfic, The Grimdark 6 series, was that Equestria is a Daemon World within the Eye of the Storm with the Spirit of Harmony representing the emotions that the Dark Gods pretend they don't have. (picture the Shadows from the Persona franchise)
As for the Imperium not simply applying Exterminatus, you could either say they were teleported via Warpstorm and don't have ships in the air, or it could be a chapter or Space Marines that simply prefer close combat over bombardments. (Black Templars, Flesh Tearers, or Charcarodons Astra to name a few)
But if Waaagh is your gateway, then why not Orks? As for Equestria's chances in such a war, while the Elements of Harmony may not work against such a threat (they're not evil) Ember lifted a large boulder (large enough to weigh more than an armored Space Marine) over her head with one arm, and she's the third smallest Dragon in the show. And Thorax's brother Pharnyx fought a giant mole by transforming into a large insect that gave him greater weight and strength, proving that a Changeling's transformations are more than simple illusions.
Though considering their personalities, I can see Vulkan having to teach them how to use this effectively.

Fair, and I might do something with Orks, but thats the thing in this instance of creation that I have made it only makes sense for the Orks to appear and nothing else. When I said cannons, I didn't mean Exterminatus, I meant ships using their guns which are still strong. If they didn't have ships well, then they are repetitively easy for Vulkan to deal with. The man is fast, durable, strong, and you cant kill him. At least not in this battle situation. He could take on a bunch of marines, a shit ton of marines, but honestly. Orks feels better, good threat, and no trying to convince the Imperium to not kill the xenos. Thanks for the feed back.
Did Vulkan's hammer or known as Doomtremor come threw with him or not?
Sorry if i'm bothering you about his hammer.
10014268
If you read the first chapter, you would have read, "He noted his hammer was not in his possession, if he it he could find his way back home with teleportation." I am not a Warhammer lore master, but I do know that his hammer can do that.

No problem, feel free to give me feedback for my own story. The Grimdark 6 Vol One: Lost Loyalty and it's sequel. The Grimdark 6 Vol Two: Broken Beast.
Amazing
Nicely done. Though...
Do you mean Vulkan by chance?
Culkan turned his head to look

I would think that Discord wouldn't like sharing his toys, to be perfectly honest. Though that goes into the territory of how powerful is Discord really, and does he just toy with the ponies, which could become a full-blown argument. Personally, I feel that he is, at the very least an aspect of Q, if not Q vacationing from messing with Starfleet, and Q is omnipotent, which means that Discord would be too.

If I remember correctly it was originally meant to be a gift for Horus but Vulkan noticed the Chaos corruption while he did not know about the Gods he did hope his instincts were wrong.
