Prologue
[Imperium Galaxy, Terra System, Terra]
Terra, the homeworld and the center of the Imperium's power. Within the confines of this most defended world lies the Emperor's throne room. Within that, lies the Golden Throne, where the Emperor himself lies, being kept from dying by its life giving energy. His greatest warriors stand guard just outside the throne room, not knowing that two people have snuck through their 'unavoidable' sight.
The two figures walk up to the Emperor's unmoving body. One of them kneels before the sight of him while the other looks at her, his mask hiding his expression. The other, a woman with blue hair wearing Adepta Sororita armor, glares at him. The two continue walking to the Emperor before the woman pulls out what appears to be an injector. She puts the needle into the Emperor's arm and presses the trigger button. A glowing blue liquid goes from the injector into the Emperor.
The two back away and wait. After several minutes, the wounds that confined the Emperor to this gilded tomb begin to disappear. An hour later and his body begins to return to its old look. The woman kneels before the Emperor as the man continues to stand there, though now with his arms crossed out of impatience. A moan is heard and the woman bows her head. Barely a second later, the Emperor -now fully revived- rises from his throne. He groans once more before looking at the two.
"Ephrael Stern. Sister of the Order of Our Martyred Lady. And the Eldar known as Kyganil… I thank you for reviving me." The Emperor says as the two guards barge into the throne room.
Upon seeing the Emperor, the two Grey Knights instantly kneel before him. The Emperor laughs, causing Kyganil to shack his head.
"Why did I help her do this?" He thinks to himself.
"So that I would end the fighting between Humanity and the Eldar." The Emperor replies.
Kyganil shakes his head and looks at the Emperor.
"It is time our two races worked together to end the threat of Chaos."
"What of the Tau Emperor?" One of the two Grey Knights asks.
"…Treat them as always. Now rise, Sister Stern."
Ephrael Stern rose to her feet and faced the Emperor.
"You will be the first of a new Order of the Adepta Sororita. The Order of the Guardians of Terra."
Ephrael looked at the Emperor, utter shock covering her face. The Emperor once again laughed before placing his hand on Stern's shoulder. The Sister of Battle began to lose consciousness. Her last sight was Kyganil staring at one of the Grey Knights.
"I believe our Canoness Superior awakens." Ephrael heard someone say.
The Thrice Born opened her eyes to see four of the 49 other Adepta Sororita of the Order of the Guardians of Terra. Five of those 49 were under her direct command. The others were lead by the few Sister Superiors under her.
After nearly 200 years since His return, the Imperium of Man had begun the slow eradication of Chaos. During this, what had now begun being called the Crusade of Reclamation; the Emperor had led many of the battles. The Adeptus Mechanicus had also been blessed in finding STCs. Barely two years after His return, the Adeptus Mechanicus had found many STCs that had been believed to be lost, and a small number that lead to new technologies.
One of these new technologies lead to the ended use of the Adepta Sororita Mark I 'Battle' Power Armor, and the use of the Mark II 'Sororita' Power Armor. The improvement of this was that it allowed the Sister's of battle to have everything that the Adeptus Astartes had within their Power Armor. It also gave the Imperium energy shielding for their ships and soldiers, though that wasn't given to many Astartes or Sororita as the upgraded armor made their usage on anything other than ships pointless. Another STC lead to the creation of a portal device that the Order of the Guardians of Terra was helping in testing.
"Are you alright Canoness?" Sister Josephine asked.
The Battle-Sister was close friends with the Order's other youngest member, Sister/Banisher Theresa. Ironically, the Sister had yet to see actual combat while the other had seen nearly too much. The Sister/Banisher had even had to watch her birth brother, an Adeptus Astartes of the Space Wolves Chapter, die before her eyes.
"I am fine." Stern replied before looking towards where Sister Diana was.
The Sister Superior was, as usual, working on the Fire Raven that the Guardians of Terra had. Though many changes to the Imperium had been made, only the Adepta Sororita Order of the Guardians of Terra had gained the ability to use vehicles previously only made for Adeptus Astartes. This made Sister Diana extremely happy. Stern had questioned many times whether the Sister was an Adeptus Mechanicus.
"Sister Diana. What are you doing now?" Stern asked.
"Adding a plasma turret in the-…"
"You know those aren't very reliable. Put a Heavy Bolter turret." Stern advised.
"You got it boss."
Stern sighed. Out of here entire team, only she and Sister Superior Zenara acted like normal Adeta Sororitas. The others, Sister Josephine, Sister Theresa, Sister Diana, and Sister Superior Hestia, acted somewhat strange. They were an odd bunch, but they had proven time and time again that they got the job done and that each of them had a devotion to the Imperium and to the Emperor that none could match. Of course most other Sisters, Ephrael included, tried to change their attitudes.
"[Attention all hands]" The Lord Captain said. "[We will be entering into the gate shortly. Please check that all gear is stowed and secured.]"
Diana removed her goggles and looked at Stern. The older Sororita looked at Diana and shrugged. The other Sister smiled before putting her goggles back on, the gold lenses hiding her ice blue eyes. She then turned around, almost slamming head first into Sister Hestia. Stern reacted by jumping back and grabbing her Nemesis Sword. She let go of it after realizing it was Hestia.
"Sister Hestia, I have told you many times now, do not sneak up on your fellow Sisters." Stern said.
"Can't change who I am. You seen my Heavy Bolter anywhere Canoness?" Hestia asked.
"I believe Sister Diana had it last."
"WHAT!"
"Calm down Sister Hestia."
"YOU LET HER TOUCH MY BABY!?" Hestia shouted causing several other Sisters to look at her in confusion.
"Her personal Heavy Bolter." Stern explained, causing half of the Sisters there to roll their eyes and the other half to shrug.
"DIANA!" Hestia shouted as the Retributor ran towards the 'mechanic.'
Stern groaned as she slapped her head.
"Is this how my old Canoness felt about some of the other acolytes?" Stern thought to herself.
Stern then felt the ship shudder.
"[Attention all hands, we are now entering the portal. Be ready for anything.]"
The Sisters of Battle instantly began gathering their weapons incase of an attack.
Unknown to any of the members of the Imperium, or their new allies the Eldar, the portal device was not human technology. It was created by a far more ancient race that traveled not only their galaxy, but others as well. Even the Old Ones with their untold secrets did not know of this species. The only reason they did not find this portal already built was because the original was erased from reality when the ancient species discovered the C'Tan. They destroyed the portal, trapping the solar 'vampires' in their home galaxy, but left the designs and plans of the portal behind for others to find when the C'Tan were gone. Another thing it did, that no one yet realized, was put the Necron under the complete command of those that built the device. The ancient robots now followed Humanity and the Eldar.
[Imperial Galaxy, Outer Rim Territories, Unknown anomaly sight]
"Captain, something is appearing on radar." An Imperial Navigator said.
The Captain of the Victory II class Star Destroyer, Favored Son, looked out the viewport to see what looked like a giant ring with four giant platforms spreading out behind it form. Once it was fully created, the platforms began spinning and a swirling blue vortex of energy appeared in the ring. The Captain didn't even blink at that. No, what changed his expression from complete boredom to complete terror was the size of the object coming through the portal.
"I…I think the radar is malfunctioning captain." The Navigator said. "It says the object coming from the portal is, thus far, 3500 meters long. And it might even be less than half that has come through."
The Navigator didn't now it, but he was right. The Imperium and Eldar created Order class battleship was 20000 meters long. It was the largest vessel in service of the Imperium of Mankind or the Eldar Empire. It was a way to show that both races truly were allies, as it was the only ship of its class in existence and it was crewed by both races.
"Communication, contact that ship." The Captain ordered as the full 20 kilometers of the ship emerged from the portal. "…And see what their intentions are."
"Understood Captain." The comms officer said. He then got to work.
"Is it a transport?" The Lord Captain asked as his own Navigator said the Star Destroyer's size, a mere 900 meters.
"Um…based on its weapons…no." The Scanner Operator, an Eldar female, said.
"By the Emperor even Tau build bigger ships than that."
"Lord Captain, they're attempting to contact us." The Communications Operator, a male Eldar, said.
"Put it through."
A second later, a voice began talking to them.
"[Unknown vessel, this is the Imperial Star Destroyer Favored Son. My name is Captain Sarvon Walsor, to whom am I speaking?]"
"Lord Captain Halvon Silas of the Order. Which Empire are you of?" As he asked that, he pointed to his Weapons Officer.
The Human nodded before ordering a squad of Guardians of Terra to prepare for launch, and a Squad of Ultramarines, just to be safe.
"[What do you mean 'which Empire'? The only Empire, the one ruled by Emperor Palpatine.]"
" 'Emperor Palpatine'? I do not know of him."
"Lord Captain!" the bridge's Eldar Farseer shouted. "These men are tyrants to their people. We have to do something to help the people."
"…Farseer, I fail to see why we 'have' to."
"They killed this galaxies entire order of peace keepers for starters. Even the young children learning how to be these peacekeepers."
That got the Lord Captain's attention. The fact that this unknown group had a false Emperor could be over looked…for a short time, but they also had the audacity to murder children. He would not stand for that.
"So, your Empire murdered an entire group of 'peacekeepers'?" The Lord Captain asked.
"[Yes,]" The other voice said happily. "[It was the beginning of the Empire. Even the younglings fell.]"
"That's all I needed to know. YOUR EMPEROR IS FALSE! LAUNCH THE ASTARTES AND SORORITAS!"
With that, the Comms Officer cut the link and weapons were activated across the entirety of the ship.
"Captian! Energy surges detected. I am also detecting the launching of small craft of unknown type. They'll be at the ship in a minute."
"Launch to hyperspace!" Captain Sarvon shouted just before an explosion shook the ship.
"Captain, their ship just destroyed our engines, we can't go anywhere."
Suddenly the ship shook again as the smaller vessels from the 'Order' got to Favored Son.
Below deck, multiple Storm Troopers formed up around a wall that was being cut through. Suddenly it stopped and muffled voices could be heard arguing. That suddenly stopped and a sword with strange energy was shoved through the wall. It then cut out a doorway.
The Imperial soldiers readied their blasters as the door fell down to reveal a woman in strange armor, holding a giant slug thrower.
"Sorry for the mess." The woman said.
"What mess?" A random Storm Trooper asked nervously.
"This one."
With that, the woman began firing her gun.
Hestia couldn't help but smile as her baby tore the soldiers in pure white armor to pieces. As much as it annoyed her when Diana messed with her baby, the end results were always worth the annoyance. Her Heavy Bolter, which she had named Zeus, was firing at a much faster rate, with much less recoil. She stopped pulling the trigger to see that the only survivor, and the only one that didn't look like an Ork or World Eater just had a field day with a Chain Axe, was poking his head out from behind a corner.
"Um… I surrender?" the white armored soldier said nervously.
The response he got was a Power Axe to the gut, courtesy of Sister Theresa. He looked down at the blade, then at the mute Sister. He gurgled once before Theresa pulled out her axe. The white armored soldier fell to the floor as the mute Sister of Battle placed the axe on her back. Her hand stayed on its handle for a bit longer than needed. Being the Axe her brother had used, it was her most treasured possession. Of course, only she and Sister Josephine knew that bit.
"Wow Hestia, half of them are all over the wall and the other half is torn to ribbons." Sister Josephine said as she walked through the opening.
Sister Diana, Sister Superior Zenara, and Canoness Superior Stern followed her. The six Sister team walked through the now red colored hallway as the sound of boots on metal grew closer. Stern pulled out her sword, Hestia readied Zeus, Theresa pulled out her axe, Josephine pulled an Astartes Assault Shotgun off her back, Zenara readied her personalized Bolter, and Diana readied her own Bolter. Several White armored soldiers rounded the corner and saw them.
"For the Empire!" The first shouted before the all started firing.
"Their aim is horrible." Stern thought as she charged forward with Josephine and Theresa.
Across the ship, and at the same time the Sororitas got in, Storm Troopers were preparing to fight what was coming in from the other side.
"We are soldiers of the Empire men. Let nothing that comes through live!" Their Sergeant shouted.
The Storm Troopers raised their rifles just as a part of the wall was blasted open. The sight before them caused them to falter a bit. Before them stood six giants in blue and gold armor with a strange curved symbol on their shoulder pads. Their helmet's lower half was covered by what seemed like a large collar, but the soldiers knew it was extra armor.
"Courage and Honor!" one of them shouted before charging the Storm Troopers with a Chainsword.
"Fire!" The Storm Trooper Sergeant shouted.
For a brief moment, the small squad of Storm Troopers had the greatest aim in the entire galaxy…but that didn't stop the onslaught of the Ultramarines. Every time their blaster bolts hit, they would either bounce off or have no effect on the titans before them. Within seconds, the only Storm Trooper left was the Sergeant. Having run out of ammo for his Blaster Rifle, he had switched to his Blaster Pistol. He fired the weapon uselessly at the Ultramarines Sergeant several times before said Sergeant grabbed him by his helmeted head.
"Your Emperor is false." The giant said simply before crushing the Trooper's head.
"…Now we sound like a Traitor Legion." One of the Space Marines in the back said.
"It is only traitorous and heretical if you speak that way of the true Emperor. If you are speaking of this group's false emperor, then it is alright."
"Sergeant 693…Sergeant 693 respond…Sergeant 693 I am ordering you to respond." The Captain said as the door behind him opened. "Go and see why Sergeant 693 isn't-…"
He was interrupted as the head of the crewman closest to him exploded from a slug thrower's round.
The Captain turned to see Canoness Stern and her personal squad standing there, weapons pointed at the Imperial bridge crew.
"Which one of you is the Captain?" Stern asked.
"THE EMPEROR WILL SEE YOU HANGED FOR THIS!" A random bridge crewman said.
"Your Emperor is false." Stern said.
Theresa turned to Stern and removed her helmet, revealing her short, light brown hair, and a questioning look. The Captain watched as Stern turned to her and Theresa made multiple hand gestures that he was unfamiliar with.
"I know I sounded like a heretic. Don't remind me. But their Emperor is false."
More hand gestures.
"Sister Theresa, are you questioning my loyalty to the Emperor?"
More hand gestures.
"I can assure you that my loyalties lie with the Imperium and the Emperor."
More relaxed hand gestures.
"I forgive you Sister Theresa."
"I see you ran into the same problem as us, Canoness." A man's voice said from the doorway.
The Captain turned and stumbled backwards. In front of him stood the very giants that caused Sergeant 693 to stop responding. They also had their weapons pointed at the Imperials. The Captain gulped once, utter terror in his eyes.
"Found the Captain." The one with goggles and a lower-half face mask said. "Should've been obvious, he's in almost a completely different outfit."
"Diana has a point…Theresa you're great at this. Why didn't you figure it out?" Josephine asked.
Hand signals.
"Heresy has that bad of a stench? You learn something new every day."
At that, a new group suddenly appeared out of thin air and grabbed the Captain before disappearing. Stern looked at the remaining Imperial officers.
"You have ten seconds to tell me what information you have that is useful or I kill you for heresy on the spot." Zenara said.
When no one answered she turned to the person closest to her, ironically it was the one that had shouted about how their emperor would avenge them, and shot him in the face.
"I KNOW THE CODE FOR EVERY IMPERIAL FREQUENCY!" The Communication Officer then shouted.
"AND I KNOW WEAPON CODES!" The Weapons Officer said.
"Suffer not the heretic to live." Stern and the Ultramarines Sergeant said before the Adepta Sorroita and Adeptus Astartes charged.
Across the galaxy, a meditating Jedi felt a shift in the balance of the force. Being who he was, he knew that him feeling it meant it was a very large shift.
"Something wrong Kanan?" His padawan, Ezra Bridger, asked.
"I don't know Ezra. But we're about to find out." The man replied as he went to the bridge, Ezra quickly following to watch as they got back to Lothal, a place that would soon see the might of the Imperium and Eldar.
