When a Tyranid hive-feet descends upon the world of Equestria, Terra sends in the Ordo Xenos, and the Ordo Xenos send in the Imperial Guard. Among the regiments are the legendary Tanith First-and-Only, led by Colonel Commisar Ibram Gaunt. It quickly becomes apparent that theirs is a suicide mission. Can Gaunt fight against crippling morale, Canterlot politics, and the Inquisition itself to save a xeno-world? Will Elim Rawne learn the magic of Friendship? Read on to find out!

Note: Gaunt's Ghosts is the property of Dan Abnett; I have no rights to any of the characters taken from it, and this is a work of parody. For the sake of not spoiling the Gaunt's Ghosts series, all characters are treated as alive at the outset of this fic. Given Abnett's talent for killing off beloved characters, this has forced me to limit how many of the ghosts I include; as such, I apologize if a favorite of yours isn't present.

Jack and Sylvia are two very different humans. Sylvia is a massive Brony; Jack finds ponies annoying and wishes they would go away. The both of them are thrust into the world of Equestria. At the same time, a sinister force seeks to unmake Equestria once and for all. Jack and Sylvia get caught up in the middle of it. Can they befriend the Mane 6 and, together, save the day? Or will mistrust and xenophobia lead to the destruction of everything? Only time can tell.

Rated Teen for language and sexual content. The rating may be upped to mature if it becomes necessary, but this will not be a clopfic.
