Peace negitiations
"You are currently under attack by Chaos, Ceramus and the Collective, you cannot hope to fight all three. Hand over the three princesses, the Selkath world the Agricultural coordinates and the food or we shall continue our fight against you, and you cannot win such a war"

Peace
"Never"
The Equestrians moved back into position, preparing for the next assault.

Chaos
"YOU WILL NOT HURT MY CHILDREN!" the voiced boomed across Finch's ship, as Faust appeared right before him, charging up a spell.

Finch laughed at the light before him. "How dare you illuminate my bridge." Finch said grinning. "Perhaps you weren't not paying attention Goddess but your children gave me these Gems." The Gems were circling in front of Finch, they glowed a deep purple as the rift opened within the Goddess. And pulled her into the warp. "Enjoy your time there Goddess. " Finch said sadistically

Finch opened the Vox to the Equestrians "Surrender to us now and we will spare your insignificant lives. Your Goddess is doomed as are all of you."

The Warp
She thought to herself. She should have been more careful but her rage made her stop thinking. Even as a Goddess she had flaws. She could already feel the warp corrupting her, but she knew she could resist, she would not let the warp take her.. She thought about her little Equestrians, what they would do, and how they would march on.

Equestrian planet
"We surrender Chaos"
The Equestrians weapons seemed to be weakening for whatever reason, and there ships were suffering a lot more damage.

Finch laughed with Glee. "Equestrians your world is forfeit You will begin evacuation immediately."

Open our vox channel with the Triarians. "The equestrians have surrendered to me, halt your attacks against tthem.i give to you this planet as a gift. Do with is as you please. I shall also see to it that food is provided to you. The rest of equestrian space and all its inhabitants now belong to Chaos. " Finch said grinning evilly.

Warp Space
Faust floated lost within the Void. That is when the voices began to sing their song. "If you truly with to save them you should embrace the Ruinous Powers."

"They will die without you... Harmony has failed."

The Warp
"I could, couldn't I?" said Faust. It was obvious that her early resolution to not fall to the influence of the warp was failing. They had struck the right chord, now they just need to talk her on. She was easily changed now, and through her all of the Equestrians could be changed.

Message to chaos
"You may have the population of the Equine folk. However, 10% of the Selkath population are now ours, those were the terms. Additional, major agricultural worlds of the Equestrian Empire now belong to the Collective, repurposing shall begin immediately. Additional: The three Equestrian 'Alicorns', also reffered to as their 'Princesses', shall be turned over to the Collective for research purposes, possible replication and possible... Harnassing.."

Bridge
"The Greater Good prevails again. Send a message back to Overlord. Tell him to prepare for assimilation of Equestrian agricultural worlds. Today our starvation ends, today we have brought prosperity once more... Our goal is drifting ever closer to possession. The pathetic Equestrian surrender in droves, soiling their armour the second the forces of Chaos arrives! They are the champions of good? No, we usurp their title for our own! Now, Chaos gloats in their face and spits on their corpses... One day we shall face Chaos, they shall inevitably betray us. We shall fight and I know not the death toll, but I know one thing: Order shall prevail! From here we unite the galaxy, then the universe. For the greater good!"
"Whatever the greater good demands!"

Warp Space
"We can grant you the power to save your children from certain death. But not only will you save them, but you will all grow more powerful then you can possibly imagine. And let us not forget who sent you here. Vengeance can still be found against the accursed Triarian Collective." The voices whispered to Faust.

Night Lord Fleet
"Actually that will not be the case. Seeing as the Equestrians surrendered to me you will get what I say you get. Now you can accept this planet and more then enough food to feed your population... or you can attempt to fight us. The choice is yours but I suggest you think before you act." Finch said into the Vox

Warp Space
Suddenly, uncountable numbers of voices screamed out, taken from across the multiverse. Some were voluntarily speaking, others had been hijacked for a moment. But nevertheless, they spoke.

"Ruinous Powers? You have no concept of power! We are those who see the branches of probability, the target of fate, the will of God! We see the twisting paths of time, we predict the outcome of molecular chances, we calculate chaos! We are the defenders of life in all forms, we weave protection from the very thread of hope! We forge sword and shield out of the flames of hatred, the fires of rebellion! WE. ARE. DELPHAN!"

Faust felt unspeakable power flowing into her, from the entire multiverse. She could feel every soul, many were in pain, oppressed, enslaved, but right now in this moment? They were smiling. Some wore weary smiles, others strong ones, but they were all smiling. It was not magical power, it was something far greater.

The voices then spoke to Faust

"Do not listen to Chaos! We will give you true power! They seek to corrupt you, our power will keep you pure, but you have to accept it!"

Psychic Message: Delphan Mental Collective to Triarian Collective
"The paths diminish, the crusade draws closer and closer. You have destroyed billions of the desirable paths in your attack on the Equestrians and in your alliance with Chaos. Without our interference, you would have unwittingly assisted in the elimination of all life. Now we have to mop up after your mistakes. For a long lived species, you are remarkably short sighted."

Delphan Message

"Incorrect: Your goals are too short term. Without the Equestrians in our path, we shall contonue our search un interrupted. You are thinking in terms of this universe... This universe is expendable, there are quintillions exactly like it where the only difference is which direction a single, low down ant looked as he went out to work. Our goal is impossible in its possibility and the elimination of all life is impossible in its own possibility. The Equestrians would have added possibly over one hundred thousand years on to our journey given their habits. Chaos will be busy killing its self. Regardless of any affiliation of the Equestrians with them or not, Chaos already has the power to take over this universe if they united: A task that is rendered impossible by their very nature. There shall be no crusade, there shall be only unity. Unity across many universes, ever expanding, ever benefitting the life forms it comes into contact with, and creating more with every move. The greater good incarnate, potentially infinite life forms await the greater good... Exact copies of this Collective await to merge with this Collective body. If we succeed, we shall be legion. Imagine infinite worlds, infinite people, infinite resources. The result is simple: infinite prosperity.
There are many stages that lie before that, the first is the union of this galaxy. Understand that the goal has an infinite time frame, and the union of this universe alone is a herculean effort. This universe will eventually be annihilated but we shall go on living and we shall continue our unity: Forever. Once we develop technology which can break the universal boundary between the primary slash secondary universe and all other universes, we shall have already lost and won, for we can neither be defeated nor can we ever succeed in full. Regardless, we would be carrying out the greater good to the letter; We would be doing what is best for the largest amount of sentient beings possible. The Equestrians would delay the current stage that leads to universal union and then the breaking into the further universes, they had to be beaten down and so we allied with a force powerful enough to help is defeat them but ultimately too fractured to destroy either side entirely...

But you already know this, how can you not have? You have already seen, have you not?"

Warp Space
Four deep voices began laughing together and the warp went silent momentarily. "Creatures of the multiverse attempt to enter our domain uninvited. How rude!" The first voice said mockingly. "Faust, we have been watching you. You hold much power. But yet you have no comprehension of the warp. Let us help you." Said a second voice that was sounded like a man and women speaking in unison. "You are weak, your children are weak. Only we can make you strong!" Said a third voice with immense power behind it. "What you Faust is someone to take care of you. Join with the Ruinous Powers and you and your children will never again be left ally less. All you need to do is accept the warp into you. And we will teach you to harness it." said the fourth and final voice, it sounded like millions of insects speaking together.

The Warp
"I accept the warp. Teach me its ways..."

Warp Space
The Gods laughed together as the raw energy of the warp surged into Faust. Her white coat turned a deep purple as her feathered wings grew flesh and resembled those of a bat. Her irises turned a deep jet black. Knowledge of the warp surged into Faust faster then a mortal can understand. As quickly as it started the transformation was complete.

"Welcome to the family sister. You are Faust, the first Chaos Goddess and Mistress of Tyranny. " Nurgle said with his swarm voice.

Triarian Message
"We have seen all possible futures, and while your motivations are noble, your actions have endangered all life! You say it is impossible to destroy all life, that there will always be a universe with life in it. But you are wrong. There is a way, we will not reveal the details, but there is a way. The crusade is not led by chaos, it is led by humans. as we speak it cascades through the multiverse, finding other copies of itself and uniting with them just as you say you will do. In your ignorance of our warning, you defy the greater good. With every moment you waste with your petty plans and wars quadrillions die, and your plans and wars continue to wipe away desirable paths for the future to take! If you continue this, then the end of all things will come. Your great unified Collective will be completely and absolutely powerless to stop it, news of your destruction will not even be sent to the leader of the crusade! That is how completely and utterly insignificant you are! Your ignorance will cost the price of existence itself!"

The Warp
The voices of the multiverse spoke once more, now yelling as loud as their souls could to overpower the warp.

"WE ARE YOUR ALLY! LOOK UPON THE FUTURE, AND SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!"

Images entered Faust's mind, images of the death and destruction of Equestrians everywhere. Images of merciless torture, images of mindless killing and hatred. After the horrific montage, two voices spoke to Faust. They were unmistakable: Fergus and Emily.

"You know us, you trust us. Accept our power, please, the Equestrians weaken as you surrender to the Ruinous Powers. They will become stronger with out power. We have done calculations. We are right. Someone recently told you to always listen to the advice of a Delphan, they have reconnected me to the collective, listen to me. I am a Delphan."

Somehow, they were fighting back. Faust's coat began to lighten and her wings slowly turned back to their true image. The transformation was slow, but sure. Every move perfectly calculated, every burst of energy placed in just the right way to fight back most effectively. A wave of energy swept over the Warp, diminishing its power int he same sure but slow way the power was changing Faust back to her original state.

Delphan message

"That defies logic, you cannot destroy something that is infinite and never ending. Quadrillions is such a small number in this equation you may as well say a single being is killed every second, tragic but meaningless. We do not have to stop the crusade, every time we enter a universe, every decision every single unit names, every single response from the natives will create a parralel universe. That means that by attacking a single universe we would suddenly become infinite in number. In truth we never won the universal war, we are just one of the infinite parralel universes where the extra-universals failed. They won. They became infinite once they set foot inside our universe. They will not exist forever. Once we get the ability to breach other universes, not the faux universe that we use for travel but a true desperate universe, we will become infinite and infinity can never end. Quadrillions? Every moment one dies the multiversal population increases, not decreases. You fault: you examine the total population has a finite number. You identify that billions of paths were destroyed, that's billions of parralel universes created, and near infinite numbers of parralels from those parralels based on every lowly decision ever made. The choice of words here has created many, many more universes. Who needs gods when you create entire universes with a single thought. Any faction which breaches into another universe becomes immortal and never ending. If you kill all life, a universe will crop up in which you failed, and from that infinite more. We are alive and dead at once, living infinite lives and dieing infinite deaths. Existnce cannot be destroyed as you say because when it is another existence where the destruction of existance fails arises and from that infinite more. The leader of their crusade? There are already infinite copies of him if he has stepped past the veil. They cannot be defeated. And once we cross into the multiverse we will attain that status too. The results of a war will not matter because infinite copies where you lose will exist and infinite copies where you win. Every death creates infinite lives. Its what we love, endless life, coupled with what we hate, endless war. Beautiful, in a brutal war. Impossible to plot on a graph, impossible to follow, to rule..."

The Warp
"No. There are other ways. I do not accept Chaos. I am Harmony. I fight Chaos." said Faust, leaving the warp. It was then that she appeared around the orbiting Equestrian planet.
"Leave Chaos, or you will suffer. As for you Triarians, stop your attack on my children, or I will cause you much worse damage."

Faust

"You failed to stop us when we annihilated your children in the past. Your children shall bow down before our demands and turn over their best agricultural worlds, we have our own people to look out for, Goddess" The overseer spat at the air, and the Triarian ships turned to show her their broadsides "Your Equestrians shall obey. They shall turn over the top two agricultural worlds and the preciously mentioned Selkath word. Do it, only the greater good shall prevail in the end. You're children have surpluses of food, they do not require their current number of agricultural worlds. Our people demand food, they demand that they be allowed to live, that they not starve to death on the meager rations we can provide because we sacrificed our well being for the greater good, to perform the task you were unable to. I demand that my child should grow up fed properly. I demand the Saeva Simius, great farmers, see the boons of their trade instead of suffering crippling tithes. L have spent over 50,000 years at war, 50,000 years starving. 50,000 years of suffering should end here. Our total population is unsustainable. They must either be fed or decimated, an undesirable conclusion. Decide their fate, Goddess"

Faust
The weapons and engines of the Triarian ships stopped working
"Or I get to dictate what happens, as im stronger here. I had a offer, simply put it, the Equestrians will send you 5000 tons of food each year, but they will not secede planets. Instead I will strengthen your agrictural gains for two years. Enough to get you to the point where you can provide for yourselves.

Real Space
Warmaster Finch snarled as Faust burst back into real space "Impossible!" He seared "Bring the fleet back into warp space. The Gods do not favor us on this day. They have allowed Faust to escape but the seeds of taint have been laid all the same."

The fleet slowly began jumping to warp space leaving the Goddess and the Triarians alone. "We will meet again Goddess. You will not elude the gods forever." Finch snarled into the Vox Relay.

Nightfall was the last ship to jump to warp space leaving a huge warp rift in its wake illuminating the system purple monetarily.

The Gods waited and watched. They would see Faust again, once she had a taste of Chaos she wouldn't be able to resist it forever.

"You're an idiot, you are pathetic, you were dragged off to the warp, you were distracted near the end of the universe. You are a failure of a god, we are not asking for charity, we are not asking for pathetic, short term solution, we are asking for true solutions... And we will fight you to get that solution. Because of you, we lost over 100 million worlds, do you know how many refugees that was? Faust, have you even seen the media piece 'trial by fire'? Sums it up quite well. I think we should do act four scene three at this current moment" Some of the bridge officer's snickered "You are cruel, And now you hold my fleet hostage. You are a malevolent being who lies to those under her... And you shall get your due for it"
