Hello readers. In this story, Taylor Hebert receives the powers of Mag'ladroth AKA the Void Dragon. How will Taylor deal with abilities of a star god from the Warhammer 40k universe? It will be revealed in this tale.

No one's POV

The Void Dragon was hurtling through the Warp. The C'tan had thought that things would go well for him when he had been freed from his prison within the Noctis Labyrinthus on Mars by a force of both Necrons and those cyborgs that worshiped him. The amount of forces from a Necron fleet of one Cairn class battleship, two Reaper class cruisers, and five Night Shroud class light cruisers, were able to successfully breach the defenses of the Noctis Labyrinthus. Members of the Xenarite sect of techpriests from Stygies VIII had caused confusion among the planets defenders and aided the invading Necron forces.

The Void Dragon was one of the last remaining C'tan in the universe. He and his kin were beings born from the stars themselves at the dawn of creation. They were giant energy parasites who fed upon that stars that birthed them then flew to new star systems on diaphanous wings when their parent stars were dying.

It was only after the first War in Heaven between the reptilian, psychic Old Ones and the technologically advanced Necrontyr that C'tan drew the attention of a mortal race. In this case, it was the Necrontyr. It was the outcast Deceiver of their kind who convinced Necrontyr into creating bodies for the C'tan to use in order for them to aid the Necrons. The Deceiver then tricked the Necrontyr into becoming immortal via the process of biotransference. The process made it easy for the C'tan to devour the souls of the Necrontyr.

The fleshy, diseased Necrontyr then became the immortal, metallic Necrons. The Second War in Heaven commenced and the collective buts of the Old Ones and their allied races were kicked. Entire worlds were razed to the ground and many species went extinct. The Old Ones created the fungal green skinned Krorks and the thin Eldar. Both of those races were psychic in nature and were a pain in the rear for the Necrons. The C'tan mastery over the physical universe enabled them create blackholes large enough to swallow entire star systems.

Even with those two new races joining in the fight, the Necron and the C'tan were winning. The Necrons were able to use the psychic tunnel network of the Old Ones, known as the Webway, via Dolmen gates created by the C'tan. The Void Dragon planned to create an interstellar network of blackstone pillars in order to seal away the Material universe from the Warp. If it had been completed, all biological sentient life with souls in the universe would have died. Fortunately, that plan wasn't completed.

The Warp got worse with all the influx of painful thoughts and emotions. From these dark things, demons and enslavers were born. The enslavers ended up taking control of what sentient races were left and the Old Ones fled the galaxy. The Necrons and the C'tan were victorious. The C'tan discovered that eating each other to become stronger was a good idea according to the Deceiver. The four C'tan that remained after this internecine predation were the Nightbringer, the Deceiver, the Void Dragon, and the Outsider.

The Necrons and their leader, Szarech the Silent King, then rebelled against their C'tan master and shattered the Deceiver and the Nightbringer. The Outsider and the Void Dragon were the only ones left that were completely whole. The Outsider had gone outside the galaxy while Void Dragon had been hit by an incredibly powerful psychic weapon and ended up falling to Mars where it fell into hibernation.

Back to the present situation, once the defenses of the Noctis Labyrinthus were down, the Necrons and traitorous tech priests breached the doors that held within the Void Dragon, the C'tan that was imprisoned there by God Emperor of Mankind a long before the 41st millenium happened. The God Emperor had fought the Void Dragon in the deserts of Libya when creature came down from Mars to feed on the souls of early humans. The Void Dragons was left imprisoned on Mars so that the Adeptus Mechanicus would be formed in the future. It was from the dreams of the slumbering Void Dragon, that the designs of devastating and fantastic weapons germinated in the minds of the Tech Priests of Mars.

Once the wards holding down the silver hued draconic figure were broken, and with sword of the Emperor pulled from its head, the being awoke with a thunderous roar. The God Emperor of Mankind, now a corpse like figure seated on the Golden Throne, had sensed the awakening of the C'tan. To avoid a catastrophe happening to the Imperium of Man, the God Emperor used his psychic powers to create a Warp portal large enough to swallow the C'tan.

The warp portal opened up by the God Emperor swallowed the C'tan along with some of his followers. The God Emperor of Mankind had hoped that the influx of Warp energy would completely destroy the C'tan, he was partially correct. When the Void Dragon was thrown into the Warp, the chaotic energies contained within that dimension caused some damage to the creatures mind and body. The pained being devoured the souls of its nearby followers in order to gain more strength. The journey through was Warp was short and the C'tan ended up in a place unknown to him.

The damaged being had lost almost all of its personality and most of its body along the way to this place, and its weakened mind sensed for a way to recover its strength. The being senses warned it of a creature some dimensions away that was similar to it but was not. The creature looked like a slug that was shedding crystals from its body. Right now, the C'tan sensed the creature sent a powerful shard down to the blue and green planet below.

The C'tan followed the path of the Queen Administrator shard in order to catch the shard and devour it for energy. The whole unbroken power of the Void Dragon landed in the injured body of a teenage human girl named Taylor Hebert. The Void Dragon shard devoured the other shard before it connected itself to its host. The girls body changed due to the unexpected inclusion of nanomachines and necrodermis.

Powered by the girl's soul, what was left of the Void Dragon enacted changes to Taylor's body based on its own preferences along with the subconscious desires of its host's mind. The body made of flesh transformed into a silver hued body made of necrodermis in some sort of biotransference process. Taylor now looked overall like a silver hued, draconic, robotic, adult woman with small wings and a long tail. Her head was reptilian in shape. Her neck was short and curved. Her torso sported breasts and hips of such voluptuous size to create a beautiful hourglass shape. Her wings however, were not as big as they should be due to the lack of sufficient materials. Her tail and spine and spine had lines of sharp spikes running down it. Silvery metallic scales covered her body.

Plates of additional armor acted as clothing for the girl. The bugs that were in the locker with her had dissolved and died, their life forces providing miniscule amounts of energy for the C'tan. When the process was complete, Taylor opened her now glowing green eyes and pushed open the door of her locker with ease.

The bullied teenager, who had been shoved into her defiled locker earlier that day, stepped outside of her locker and looked around. Within her body, nanomachines began to check for any damage to fix. The soul of Taylor Hebert had been diminished due it being used to power the process of biotransference. The mind of Taylor though, was fully intact and housed in a processor more intelligent than any human brain. With her conscious self rendered temporarily inactive due to her passing out earlier from trauma, the subconscious part of her took control.

/Systems check completed. Warning! Energy levels are currently low. It is recommended to search for suitable energy sources, preferably souls. More material is needed for further building up of the necrodermis shell. It is recommended to absorb more metals and other minerals to be used in this purpose/

/According to memory archives, possible prey can be found in the area of Brockton Bay known as the Docks. It is necessary to remain hidden and avoid drawing attention to ensure successful hunting. Deploying camouflage measures now./

The silver hued armor plates across Taylor's body turned black in order to make it harder to see her in the dark. The draconic C'tan then used one of her abilities to teleport to a warehouse in the Docks. The warehouse happened to contain a group of five Merchant thugs who were feeling high from a recent drug session. Taylor quickly approached the thugs and killed them one by one with her clawed fingers. Throats were slashed by monomolecular bladed claws. Warm crimson blood splattered onto the cold concrete floor of the warehouse.

The feminine looking C'tan relished the taste of freshly killed souls. The souls of those murderous Merchants she killed, screamed as they were broken down into usable energy in Taylor's energy absorber. She also placed her hands on the corpses so that the little swarms of nanomachines flowing out of her hands would completely assimilate whatever useful minerals where found in the dead bodies. Bits of scrap metal found in the warehouse were also absorbed. After this was done, the girl found a hidden area surrounded by old crates and slept there.

She dreamt of old memories, of feeding from a star. She dreamt of being encased in a shell of living metal. She dreamt of warfare and of crafting devastating weapons that brought ruin to millions of worlds. She dreamt of being injured and falling to rusty red world before hibetnating there for millions of years. She dreamed of fighting human figure who possessed incredible powers. She dreamt of being defeated and imprisoned by that godly man. She dreamt of all these memories of a past life.

When she awoke the next morning at 7:00 PM, it took Taylor several panicked moments of confusion until she realized what had happened to her.

Taylor's POV

"Wait I remember, I was trapped in the locker by the Trio. In there, I turned into this form. The form of a C'tan. Wait a minute, how do I now that!?" I said to myself with concern at suddenly knowing that fact.

/Greetings Taylor Hebert, I am the operating system of your subconscious. I store all the relevant data you need. Here you can find videos relating to memories you experienced./ said voice inside my mind. In my mindscape, I could see a computer screen appear in the middle of room with grey metal walls. My conscious self in my mindscape appeared in the same form as what I looked like now. I was seated in front of the computer and I was holding a computer mouse in my right hand.

The wallpaper in the screen showed what looked like a very large version of myself commanding legions of silvery grey, alien robot skeletons. Looking through the documents section up to videos section, I saw different files with titles such as "War in Heaven" and "Star Gods." I hurriedly sought to select that video file which contained information on what happened last night. After finding the video file titled "Last Night's Recordings," I opened it. The video played on the computer monitor and I was very focused on seeing what happened that night.

After viewing the video, I had strong feelings of guilt and shame over what I had done that night. I killed five people and I ate their souls! I am a confirmed soul eating monster. I let out a small sob to express my remorse over my actions. Tears of black oily liquid dripped from my green glowing eyes.

After a few minutes of crying, I calmed myself down. I then thought of what I would have to do next, since I was currently stuck in this form. I reviewed what other information is stored in my mind for me to understand my new form better. I then viewed the "Star God" and "War in Heaven" files.

At the end of that activity of reviewing what memories were stored in my mind, I was feeling shocked and scared about the powers I have. I was also horrified by the identity and the deeds committed by the source of my powers, the C'tan known as Mag'ladroth, the Void Dragon. That guy was as evil as a million genius minded Adolf Hitlers!

I calmed myself down as I realized that I am the one in control of these powers, and that their original owner was as good as dead. I reviewed the list of the powers I have as I wanted to see what I could use to aid my current situation. As a whole C'tan, instead of a shard, I have access to this plethora powers such as the following:

.

MINOR POWERS

Entropic Touch - The user can cause metal to decay on contact.

Gaze of Death - The user drains the life from all victims in the vicinity.

Grand Illusion - The user creates a glamour of deception, preventing the enemies from seeing the actual disposition of the user's forces.

Lord of Fire - I can become a creature of living flame, able to command the fiery weapons wielded by my enemies.

Moulder of Worlds - I can grab rocks with telekinesis and use throw showers of them at enemies.

Pyreshards - I can conjure specks of blazing black matter and directs them against my assailants.

Sentient Singularity - My presence destabilizes all local gravitational forces in an area, disrupting engines, teleport beams and Warp jumps.

Swarm of Spirit Dust - I am concealed from the gaze of my enemies by a cloud of swirling darkness.

Time's Arrow - By mutating the flow of causation and remoulding the temporal stream of the space-time continuum, I can cast my foes back into the darkness from before time came into being.

Transdimensional Thunderbolt - I can project a bolt of crackling transdimensional energy from my outstretched palm.

Writhing Worldscape - The natural world revolts at my presence, and as the physical laws of reality are undone, the very ground writhes and shakes.

ASCENDANT POWERS

A Transcendent C'tan is an aggregation of dozens of C'tan shards or even up to a hundred lesser C'tan shards. Transcendent C'tan are far more dangerous than the standard C'tan shard. These are the powers possessed by a Transcendent C'tan. Every Transcendent C'tan must possess either one or two of the following powers, though they cannot be unleashed when the C'tan is fully shackled within the confines of one of the Necrons Tesseract Vaults:

Storm of Heavenly Fire - I can unleash a rain of fire from the heavens which explodes with a cataclysmic blast upon the battlefield. This power would be extremely effective at destroying enemy armored vehicles.

Transliminal Stride - Using my ability to manipulate the space-time continuum and extradimensional realities, I can move across the battlefield to a predetermined point, simply phasing through all obstacles or opponents in my path.

Seismic Shockwave - When I slam my Necrodermis-clad foot down, it unleashes a seismic shockwave that causes the ground to shake, blasting armoured vehicles and infantry alike into the air like unfortunate toys.

Antimatter Meteor - I am able to unleash a huge meteor composed of antimatter upon the battlefield. Such a furious assault from the sky that will annihilate all normal matter within range.

Cosmic Fire - I can unleash a wave of fire hotter than the interior of some suns upon the battlefield, incinerating everything in my path.

Seismic Assault - I can cause rumbling earthquakes with a flick of my hand, crushing enemy units to pulp.

Sky of Falling Stars - A rain of blazing meteorites falls from the sky to impact the foe at my whim.

Transdimensional Maelstrom - I can use my control over transdimensional energies to unleash a swirling extra dimensional vortex upon the battlefield that can banish all it touches to an alternate reality.

Wave of Withering - I can cause metal and flesh alike to wither at my command.

Wow! I thought to myself. I have the power to cause destruction on a scale rivaling that of the Endbringers here on Earth Bet. There is even that ability possessed by whole unshattered C'tan that allows them to manifest black holes large enough to swallow star systems when they have gathered enough energy to do so. I could go and kill the Endbringers if I wish but I don't have a lot of energy to use those abilities.

I don't have an ability to change my appearance for some reason. I suppose that is because the Deceiver was the one who possessed those powers, but not the Void Dragon. Wait, there was something else I saw in the video showing the memories they Void Dragon had before he fell to Earth Bet. What was that thing? A slug covered in crystals? The creature there was scanned by his powers as a being similar to a C'tan and that it is connected to multiple versions of this world. It was also recorded that it projected a golden hued avatar that traveled around Earth Bet.

I froze for a moment when the realization struck me. Scion is the avatar of the weird alien slug. The weird alien slug was reported as being similar to a C'tan. This meant that Scion might be planning to feed on the humans of Earth Bet. The grim implications of those observations made me feel nauseous. If Scion might be a threat to humanity, then I needed to prepare myself to fight him in the future.

After that revelation, I started to think about what my next course of action will be. My internal clock showed that it was already 7:30 AM. I looked around the warehouse and the surrounding area with my machine sensors. I have X-ray vision, thermal vision, and night vision. I can adjust my audio sensor so they could be sensitive enough to hear the footsteps of bugs. I had sensors that I could use to detect whatever chemicals were in the air. I even have an elemental scanner that is built into my eyes and outer skin.

Since it was daytime, I would need something to hide myself. I looked through what technological designs I have stored in my mind. It seemed I have design of technology from both the Necrons and those human cyborg members of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It felt that it would be a good idea to create a Canoptek Spyder as well as a bunch of Canoptek Scarabs. These robotic constructs would be useful in creating a base for me. However, I need to get more materials than what I currently have in order to make them.

For concealment purposes, I decided to create a network of image projectors spread across my body. These image projectors when activated, would show the real time look of the surroundings I was in. This meant that I would look like the rest of the sky when I was out flying.

I took stock of what materials I currently have stored in my inbuilt Transdimensional Storage Device that is located in my abdomen. From five human bodies, I have large quantities of Carbon, Phosphorus, Oxygen, and other non metals. I have lesser amounts of iron, magnesium, and other trace metals.

I also viewed how much soul energy I currently have. I winced when I saw that my biotransference cost me 75% of my own soul when that happened. However, the soul energy gathered from my victims enabled the restoration of my soul to its original 100%. The extra soul energy was stored adjacent to my soul container. The amount of extra soul energy I currently have was enough for casting just one or two of the minor abilities.

To get more soul energy, I need to kill more people. The alternative method to get more energy is for me to spend some time out in the sun to harvest solar energy. Since there was not enough materials for me to work with, I activated my image projectors and then teleported to the sky.

As I flew through the cold air through the manipulation of anti-gravity generators, I felt happy. It had been my dream as a young girl to become a hero like Alexandria, the strongest flying woman in the world. As I flew over the city of Brockton Bay, I picked up the sounds below. I also was able to sense wireless messages sent via cellphone signals or the internet due to my ability to manipulate technology.

One message I picked up nearly made me drop to the ground in shock. It was a text message sent from Sophia to Emma. The message was about Sophia being busy doing Ward stuff. My mind quickly searched through the internet for pictures of Sophia and a possible parahuman that matched her. The search result ended up finding a 96% match between Sophia and Shadow Stalker based on height, appearance, and descriptions of their personality.

I felt a great urge to find her right now, electrocute her to death, then enjoy devouring her soul. A much more colder, logical side of me put a stop to that train of thought. It warned me that such actions would be illogical right now because doing so would cause the heroes to come after me. The logical thing to do first would be to find a suitable location to build a base and then I should make an army to help bolster my strength. I had to agree with such a rational course of action.

I continued flying over the city until spotted an abandoned car factory situated near the city. I slowly dropped from the sky and landed quietly on the ground of the factory compound. There was a large number of old brickwork buildings. There were trees surrounding the area and there is a road that goes in and out of the factory.

I went to four storied administration building because it was easier to hide there. It was when I was in the basement of the building that I started to create technological wonders. I had earlier broke down floors from the upper levels to gather ruble and metal bars.

Within the dark basement that was lit aglow with greenish light from eyes, I manipulated the nanotechnology with my necrodermis shell. The pile of ruble and metal was covered by nanomachines that first broke it down then built it up again into the eight legged, emerald hued form of a Canoptek Spyder. The newly created machine's eyes lit up with a green glow as it looked to me for instruction, its twin-linked particle beamers ready for combat. I grinned at it with a mouth full of fangs.

After creating a wireless network linking myself and the Spyder, I instructed it to gather more materials and use them to produce Scarabs later. The Canoptek Spyder immediately started on cutting into one of the walls of the basement. Leaving it to do its work, I went to the ground floor of the building. There was hardly any furniture left in this place so I just stood in a corner and pondered what my long term plans would be.

I could not meet my Dad face to face like this, so I thought of a way to get in touch with him and other people. I suddenly hit upon the idea of a robot that would take on the features of people by looking at them and then using a skin made of nanomachines to mimic a human appearance and respective traits. I immediately got to work on making this special robot.
