(A.N.) Thank you for looking at my first attempt at a MLP Fan-fiction! I deliberated on writing this story for a few years now but I have finally put the pen to paper and wrote this little story. So please enjoy the reading it like how I enjoyed writing it!
Date: July 3rd, 3147
System: Sol
Planet: Earth
Location: Imperius Maximus, The Imperial Palace
"Your Imperial Majesty, I implore you please leave the city for your own sake!" That is what one of my courtiers said to me on that fateful day. He was very naive to the situation, My people need me I can't leave them now, Not in the middle of this insolent rebellion!
I am getting ahead of myself here, First a introduction, I am Emperor Alexios Maximus X of the Galactic Imperium, I am a mere twenty years old, And I have ruled over a disunited and warring empire after the death of my late father Emperor Alexios Maximus IX at the late age of two-hundred and twenty-four years, After his untimely assassination the empire fell into a state of civil war the likes of which hasn't been seen sense my Great-Great-Grandfather Alexios Maximus V! But unlike my forefathers I do not possess the Pysionic powers they did, They could destroy entire planets! While I only have basic telekinesis, My father told me that the power was waning through the generations this began after the sudden disappearance of Emperor Alexios Maximus I, and only the firstborn son would inherit them, This warning was evident by my father only being able to use a more advanced telekinesis the I. So without these powers I cannot hope to quell this rebellion.
"My Lord!" My courtier nearly screams as I break from my thoughts. "Yes Lucius?" I reply, startled by his sudden loudness. "My Lord, I can't express enough that you're in danger! The rebels are nearly in orbit of earth, They are coming for you!" His worry is justified, But misguided, I care more for the lives of my people who are unable to flee this mess, So if they cannot leave, Neither will I! "Lucius I have said that until my people are safe, I will stay here with them!" Lucius cowers at my outburst. "B-but My Lord, If you perish the empire is forfeit! There is no other heir to inherit the crown." He is right in that regard, I was a only child born when my father health was in decline, and due to this he had no other children. As Lucius cowers on the marble floor, My long friend and Captain of my Honor Guard, Captain Kilani, The irony being that he is a TX-3000 Mk 3.2 Super Tactical Droid. Steps in. "Alexios, There is a option to leave, The Trans-Dimensional gateway prototype that is in the Imperial Research Institute, You could be transported to another universe while this rebellion is crushed!" He has been enthusiastic at the premise of using the prototype. "No Kilani I will not leave my-" As I am about to verbally reprimand him for continuing to convince me to abandon my people, A massive explosion cuts me off. "ALERT! ALERT! HOSTILE SHIPS HAVE ENTERED THE ATMOSPHERE! ALERT! ALERT!" Before I can react, My guards grab me as kilani orders them to take me to the Imperial Research Institute. Me and my guards head down the steps of the palace to a armored motorcade that, as soon as I get in, Drives for the Institute. The streets are filled with chaos, Human and Alien rebels fighting with Imperial War-Droids. The convoy makes its way to the Institute with no problems, But when I exit a rebel screams "Death to the Empire!" as he rushes me with a plasma sword, But he is quickly dispatched by Kilani. "Come on now, Into the Institute!" My guards grab me and haul me into the institute and before I know it, I stand in front of the trans-dimensional portal. "Kilani, What is the meaning of this!" I yell "Alexios if you die the empire is lost, But if you hide, The imperial army will quell this rebellion within a decade" he states quite matter-of-factly as the portal roars to life. But before I can retort he turns to me and says "But you won't be alone, Me and HG-01 through HG-25 will accompany you through the portal to ensure that you are safe." He is right in many regards, My people will suffer greatly if I perish, But going through a portal to a unknown realm is absurd! And as I begin to tell him so, The rebels breach the institute and kilani pushes me through….
I wake in a field of grass as the rest of my guards came through the portal, And kilani comes through last. "What happened?" I ask quite groggily as Kilani lifts his hand and activates a detonator. "Just ensuring we are not followed" As he says this the portal closes. "But don't fret, I downloaded the schematics for the portal so when the All-Clear comes through we build it and head home." "I-I, (Sigh), I guess we have no other option now do we? Well I supposes we should explore this new world." I the turn to see a mountain in the distance with a elaborate castle built into the side. "And talk to our new neighbors."
