A introduction to the 41st millennium
It is the 41st millennium for more than a hundred centuries the empress has sit immobile on the golden throne of eqqus. She is the master of ponykind by the will of the gods. And master of a million worlds by the might of her inexhaustible armies. Greatest among these warriors are the space mareines gene forged warriors who fight in her name.
To be a pony in these times is to be one of trillions. Forget the promises of friendship and understanding. Forget progress and innovation. For in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium their is only war.
The ultramare sector
M 4978
Planet Faradia
Artillery screamed overhead and the Crack of lazguns sounded as beams of red energy crossed a barren field. The wrecks of applejack tanks and chimeras littered the area. The corpses of guradsponys were everywhere many with wounds that hurt to look at or burned with blue fire. This world was under assault by the forces of chaos a chaos warband of Trixies daughters specifically. The one eyed mares marines had ripped holes in the materium and were in the procces of turning this world into a demon world. This would not stand for the daughters of fluttershy would not let it.
A red thunder hawk soared over the field the symbol on its side a butter yellow pair a wings with a red drop of blood in the middle. Inside battlesister rose thorns watched as her sisters readied themselves for the fight ahead. Sister true strike did last minute checks on her stalker bolter. She was their squads best marksman able to hit a Gretchen on a trukk from multiple kilometers away. She saw sister storm wing who is their squads heavy gunner her heavy bolter lugged on her side servo arm holding it in place. The downside of this powerful weapon was that she had trouble flying with any swiftness. Sister honed mind who was her squads librarian identified by her having a horn as well as her wings was reciting mantras and holy prayers to the empress and primare to shield her mind from the immaterium. She was the only one of their squad to not have a chainhorn as she had no need for the false horn as she had one already.
Rose herself was checking her standard bolter and reciting prayers to the machine spirit in the gun and in the servo arm on her shoulder. This servo arm allowed her to hold and fire the weapon. She donned her helmet her pinkish white hair and red eyes disappearing under a red helmet.
She felt the connection to the servo arm and chainhorn come online. She gave it a few revs to test it feeling the vibrations rumble through her head. She also gave the servo arm and the bolter attached to it some movements and sent the command to rack the bolt back and load the gun. She was ready to battle.
She grabbed her squads attention with a stomp of her armored hoof. They all turned to her as she gave a recap of the mission.
"all right sisters you all know our mission. The foul daughters of trixie are trying to tear open a rift in the materium. If this were to happen a warp storm could consume this system and all systems in a 1000 lightyear radius. This can not be allowed to happen. We are to assault their fortress and stop this ritual. FOR THOSE WE CHERISH she yelled WE DIE IN GLORY her squad yelled back."
The thunderhawk came upon the fortress as the assault was in progress. Thousands if not millions of guardsponys were charging the walls with applejack battle tanks and chimeras and dozens of other types of vehicles were assaulting this foul structure. They were accompanied by 11 other thunderhawks each one with their own squad aboard. They had to stop this ritual.
The aircraft opened up with its four twin linked heavy bolters witch tore through the cultists on the walls turning them into red mist as the two lascannons opened fire targeting any groups of traitors or chaos mareines. It's battlecannon roared destroying anything in its sights as rose and her sisters jumped from the open door and glided down to the fortress.
Rose saw as true strike started firing her stalker bolter every shot hitting a head or a limb never missing a single shot. She saw as honed mind fired her bolt pistol and used her chainhorn to rip cultists to shreds saving her power for the real enemies. She saw as storm wing opened up with the heavy bolter into groups of mutants and abominations its heavy DakkaDakkaDakka resounding through the fortress. She herself opened fire with her bolter every shot precise and deadly.
Dakka a cultists head exploded. Dakka a mutant suddenly lost its torso. Dakkadakkadakka every shot dealt death.
They tore through the fortress nothing able to oppose them.
Cultists were torn to shreds none had the firepower to take them down.
They finally came upon the inner sanctum and the sight of the ritual.
The inner sanctum of the fortress was a blight on the universe. It had colors that should not exist swirling around and a geography that did not make sense. They saw the massive rift that was growing and the center and the blue and white armored form of a thousand daughters chaos mareine.
"Ahh the daughters of fluttershy come to stop my ritual. Admirable but futile as you are too late.
Honed mind suddenly gasped and turned to me shock and horror clear in her voice.
"she is right i can feel it the barrier between the immaterium and the materium has been weakend too much. We are too late to stop it we must evacuate or we will be swallowed by the rift."
We began to make our escape but we were cut off by 4 other chaos marines.
The socceror laughed and said
"Not so fast your not leaving just yet are you? I dont think so not if i have anything to say about it. I am oof!" suddenly she was cut off with my hoof hitting her face. She clearly had not been expecting to be interrupted while she monolouged
"Go i yelled to my sisters i will cover you." true strike and storm wing looked to protest before honed mind grabbed them and ran.
Though not without a salute before they left.
I tuned to the remaining 4 marines and sorcerror. I revved my chainhorn and charged takeing flight to attack from above.
These were clearly just rubrics as they were completely silent and gave no indication of pain when I hit one in the flank with my armored hoof. I fired my bolter into the chest of the one I had stunned with my hoof and it's chest exploded. Revealing nothing but dust and residual magic.
I decapitated another and blew the third ones head off. The rift was growing ever larger and more unstable as I put my hoof through the chest of the last rubric and turned my attention to the sorcerror.
.
.
.
Who had disappeared while I was distracted. Sigh the daughters of trixe are always cowards. But the rift seemed to have reached critical mass as i was starting to be pulled in. I desperately tried to escape by flying but I was just pulled in faster with no ground to hold on to. As the rift consumed me I hoped my sisters had escaped to live another day as that was all that mattered to me. I closed my eyes and braced myself as everything went white.
To be continued
Author's Note
Hello this is the first story I have ever written. A while ago I saw a story that had a similar premise to this one but that story seemed to dissappear.
I took it upon myself to write something like that story.
I am looking for a beta reader and constructive criticism is welcome
I was engulfed in a miasma of colors and shapes as my vision cleared. Every second threatened to break my mind as I was exposed to the immaterium.
I had resigned myself to an eternity in this place when I saw a golden light explode into existence that pushed away the miasma.
I was overcome with emotion at what I was seeing. It was the flutternor the image of my primare its giant pink butterfly wings blew away the insanity.
It's golden armor shined and her face was completely calm. If felt tears running down my face as I stared at them.
They suddenly hit me with a gust from their wings and I was thrown into a rift that had opened while I was distracted.
All I saw was green before I entered the rift.
Twilights castle observatory
1:00 am
Twilight was in her observatory room it was a large room with no roof but it had a invisible magical dome to keep out the weather. She was at her teloscope and was about to wrap it up and head to bed when something caught her eye. She swiftly aimed her teloscope at what she had seen.
It felt wrong to look at it was as if it should not exist in this world. It was a gapeing rift of a miasma of colors and shapes. Suddenly a bright light and a shape came flying out of the rift as it closed. She could not make out what it was before it seemed to crash into the everfree forest.
She so desperately wanted to investigate but it was past midnight and the everfree was even more dangerous at night.
And all her freinds were asleep too and she wouldn't want to wake them for something like this. She decided that first thing in the morning she would investigate with her friend's.
everfree forest
rose thorns pov
I came out of the rift to a sea of dark green and brown and swiftly realized I was many hundreds of feet off the ground and approaching rapidly. I attempted to slow my landing with my wings and I was able to slow down a bit before I slammed hoof.first into a tree and went straight through the trunk wood splintered and flew everywhere as I slammed into another one and finally hit the ground digging a deep furrow in the ground.
I finally stood up and took stock of my surroundings I was in a very thick forest with moonlight just barely filtering through the canopy.
I then assessed my equipment as diagnostics flickered across my helmets hud. My chainhorn was completely fine and It had about two hours of continuous use in it with two extra cannister of fuel in my supplies compartment attached to the side my servo arm was on.
My bolter was also in good condition aswell and It had half a mag currently loaded with 4 other mags in my supplies.
In total I had about 135 rounds so I would have to use them sparingly.
Suddenly my auspex went off as a group if unknowns was approaching rapidly.
I readied myself as the unknowns finally appeared and what I saw surprised me greatly.
Timberwolves!! here that shouldn't have been possible as this place was visually free of chaos corruption and they never strayed far from where they originate.
In fact I noticed a lot of differences with these Timberwolves they were smaller for one thing. The Timberwolves I had encountered In my life were about my height but these were at about chest height. They also looked more uniform as they did not have random limbs on their body. Nevertheless they were warp spawn and had to die so I waited for the first one to attack and my chainhorn roared to life.
fluttershys cottage
Vrrrrrr
Fluttershy started awake as this unfamiliar noise echoed. She quickly went outside of her cottage to investigate.
As she got outside she heard it again
Vrrrrr
It was coming from the everfree forest and was accompanied by the howling of Timberwolves. She was reluctant to investigate as the forest was dangerous and scary. But what if an animal was hurt what if it was just attacked by whatever made that awful noise and needed help.
She gained a determined look on her face as she took off into the forest.
As she went deeper into the woods she could see animals fleeing from the direction the sound was coming from.
As she got even closer she could here the howls and yaps of Timberwolves and monstrous crashing noises of cracking wood.
She decided to sneak up on the area where the sounds were coming from and it was even louder now as she came up on a clearing.
And what she saw was a metal giant that was butchering the Timberwolves.
It was large was the first thing evident about it it was almost as large a celestia in its height only. As where celestia was lithe and thin it was bulky and thick. It was in the shape of a pony which surprised fluttershy as what pony could comit the brutality she was seeing.
It's armor was a deep crimson red and it had massive shoulder pauldrens with a symbol of curiously wings the same color as her coat and a drop of blood in the center.
It also had wings which were armored leaving the feathers exposed while the limb was covered. And these wings were the same color as hers which was also surprising.
But the things that drew her attention the most were the massive black box on one of its shoulders and the horn comeing out of its head.
The box was strange looking it seemed to have some sort of bulky thing attached to it with a tube comeing out. And there appeared to be a mechanical arm sticking out of the top though it was folded up.
Now the horn was the thing that was terrifying to her she thought it was a false horn as it was completely covered in armor and you don't cover a horn as it make using magic imposibe without breaking the covering. But the main thing about this false horn was that I seemed yo have teeth attached teeth that were turning and making that horrible sound.
She watched in horror completely frozen as it stopped a Timberwolf from leaping on it by driving its false horn through its chest and bisecting it. And as the remains fell it crushed the magical core of the Timberwolf and it collapsed into splinters.
It leapt forward at another Timberwolf and caved its head in with an armored hoof and swiftly crushing it's core as well.
Their was only one Timberwolf remaining as what looked like the remains of dozens littered the clearing.
The Timberwolf began to sprint away and with terror she realized it was running towards where she was hidden.
As it came upon her she screamed as it made to rip her throat out but before it could do so thunder sounded
Dakka
and it's chest where it's core was located exploded and the Timberwolf collapsed into splinters.
She was still shaken as the giant came upon her and it almost seemed to stagger with shock.
And from its grilled helmet with red eyes a female voice distorted by the helmet but still clearly shaking it said
Fluttershy??

Fluttershy??
She started as the giant said her name with confusion evident in its distorted voice.
What How did it know who she was.
"H-how do you know my name she stuttered"
It seemed to become even more confused as it said "you mean you do not know who I am but how.
Suddenly it stopped and seemed to look at her closer and for a second everything became quiet as it seemed to think for a moment.
Roses pov
I could not belive what is was seeing there standing in front of me was my primare she was unmistakable. I even felt the connection in my soul to hers though it felt different than when I was in the presence of the flutternor.
"H-how do you know my name" they stuttered out.
Wait how does she not know who I am as one of her daughters she should have been able to recognize me.
"You mean you do not know who I am but how?" I said as I was recovering from the shock of seeing my primare.
As I said that i looked a little more closely at them as I had mostly focused on their face and the fact that they were my primare. But now I actually looked at her anatomy and it was not right she was not my primare as I knew her.
For one thing she was tiny I hadn't noticed it before as I saw her face first and lost focus but she barley came up above my knees.
And where were her wings there were regular pegasus wings not giant pink butterfly wings.
The fact that they were cowering in fear also did not help as why would my primare cower in front of her own daughter.
All this thought was in a couple milliseconds for my superpony mind and I concluded this was not my primare at least not yet but I needed some more information to get anything else.
"Hmm what planet is this" I asked she seemed confused as she heard the question.
"Were on eqqus of course what other planets are there."
This answer hit me like a land raider. I was on holy eqqus? But that was impossible holy eqqus had no forests it was all citys.
Dread began to fill me as I asked the next question.
"And what year is it pray tell" she seemed to have relaxed a bit more and her face was morphing from one of fear to one of concern and confusion as she answered.
"It is 1012 by the modern calander".
This is what I had been dreading hearing I had traveled back in time to around 39 millennia in the past.
There was Clearly more to talk about but we were interrupted by the howling of Timberwolves getting closer by the second.
I could easily take on the Timberwolves but I worried for this mare that looked like my primare I could not guarantee her safety of we were attacked as my auspex indicated more than 50 were heading in our direction.
"We will discuss this later right now we must get to a safer place" she seemed to agree as she was shivering with fear.
"Y-yeah we could go to my cottage it will be safe there" she said her voice trembling.
"Very well lead on pri I mean milady. I had decided not mention who she looks like right now.
She made for the direction she came from with me close behind both of us in flight.
fluttershys cottage
3:00 am roses pov
As we left the woods and came upon a quaint little cottage I took in my surroundings.
There seemed to be a town close that was made of wood and straw. It was like being on a feudal world no rockrete or metal in sight. They probably had not even invented it yet I was so far back in time.
As we came upon the cottage I realized with surprise that I could fit through the door it was many time larger than required for the mare in front of me. A question for later I suppose as she opened it and I squeezed in I was greeted by a very warm and inviting interior. There were plants everywhere you could not look in a single place without seeing at least one plant.
Another thing in common with my primare the gardens a baal are yhe most renowned in the imperium.
As the door shut behind us she turned to me and said " So why do you know my name and what are you and where are you from" She said with a lot more confidence now that she was in her home.
I contemplated what to say as I wasn't sure how to proceed here I tool a breath to speak and said.
"I know your name because I have heard of you where I am from. I am an astartes which are warriors. And as for where I am from you said the date was 1012 I am from the future."
