Chapter 7: Returning to Ultramar
As they prepared for the journey to Ultramar, the Primarchs gathered their forces and briefed their warriors on the mission ahead. Horus, Guilliman, Vulkan, and Lion El'Jonson stood as pillars of strength and determination, their unity a beacon of hope in the war-torn galaxy.
Their fleet, a formidable armada, set course for Ultramar. The journey through the warp was perilous, with the ever-present threat of daemonic interference. Yet, the Primarchs' resolve remained unshaken. They knew that every moment counted, and the fate of Ultramar hung in the balance.
Upon arrival in the Ultramar system, they were greeted by the sight of ravaged worlds and a sky marred by the influence of Chaos. The distress signal led them to a planet in the outer edge, where the surviving Salamanders had taken refuge. The planet's surface was scarred by battle, but the resilience of its defenders was evident.
As the fleet descended, Vulkan's eyes scanned the horizon, searching for the familiar sight of his warriors. The Salamanders, though weary from constant battle, stood ready to welcome their Primarch. The reunion was heartfelt, with Vulkan embracing his loyal sons, their spirits lifted by his presence.
Vulkan: (Smiling warmly) "My brothers, you have endured much. But our fight is far from over. Together, we will drive the forces of Chaos from this world and reclaim Ultramar."
Salamander Captain: (Saluting) "We are ready, my lord. With you by our side, we will stand strong."
Guilliman: (Addressing the assembled forces) "We have received a distress call from Governor Gravis. His world is under siege, and we must act swiftly. Our mission is to liberate Ultramar, one world at a time."
Horus: (Stepping forward, his voice resolute) "Prepare for battle, warriors. The forces of Chaos will not go down easily, but with our combined strength, we will prevail."
Lion El'Jonson: (Drawing his sword) "Let the light of the Emperor guide our path. We fight not only for Ultramar but for the entire Imperium."
The Primarchs and their forces launched a coordinated assault on the daemon-held territories. The battles were intense, with the air thick with the smell of burning ozone and the sounds of clashing weapons. Horus led the charge, his unwavering determination inspiring those around him. Guilliman's strategic brilliance ensured their movements were precise and calculated, while Vulkan's fierce presence bolstered the morale of his warriors. Lion El'Jonson moved like a shadow, striking down enemies with unparalleled skill.
As they fought, they encountered the twisted horrors of the warp—daemon princes, corrupted beasts, and abominations that defied description. Yet, the Primarchs' resolve never wavered. Each victory brought them closer to liberating the planet and reuniting Ultramar.

Then they see it, Deep within the heart of the conflict, they found Governor Gravis, holding the last bastion against the daemonic onslaught. His forces were weary but determined, their spirits lifted by the arrival of the legendary Primarchs.
Governor Gravis: (Breathless, but hopeful) "Lord Guilliman, Vulkan, Horus, Lion El'Jonson—your presence is a miracle. We have held on as long as we could."
Guilliman: (Grasping Gravis' shoulder) "Your courage is commendable, Governor. We will fight alongside you and ensure Ultramar is free from this taint."
With renewed vigor, the combined forces of the Primarchs and the Governor's defenders launched a final, decisive assault. The daemonic forces, sensing their impending defeat, fought with savage desperation. But the Primarchs' unity and strength proved to be an unstoppable force.
As the last of the daemons were banished, the skies began to clear, and the planet's surface, though scarred, was free from the grip of Chaos. The people of Ultramar, witnessing the triumph of their heroes, found hope in the midst of despair.
Standing amidst the ruins, the Primarchs knew that their journey was far from over. But their victory on this world was a testament to the power of unity and the indomitable spirit of the Imperium.
Vulkan: (Looking to the horizon) "This is just the beginning. There are many more battles to be fought, but as long as we stand together, there is hope."
Horus: (Nodding) "We will continue to fight, for every world, every soul that needs our help."
Guilliman: (Raising his sword) "For the Emperor, for the Imperium!"
