Chapter 2: I Be Superamalgamated!
Eldar Eclipse Cruiser Perseverance
Farseer Sylvanias sat in her meditation chamber, and though her features were calm, a storm of thoughts were present in her mind, all of them centered on a young mon-keigh in the med bay. She had to place every warlock at her disposal on guard just to keep him under. Drugs simply proved ineffective as his body kept using the Warp to adapt to them.
Finally, she decided to think about how this all began. Four weeks ago she had been assigned to find the source of strange Warp emanations located somewhere between the Alpha and Beta Quadrants by her master Farseer Eldrad Ulthran. After a week of searching for and following the Warp patterns, she discovered, to her great surprise, that the emanations were coming from a primitive planet called Earth. She soon managed to trace the emanations to a forested population center on a string of islands. Afterwards, she gathered her personal squad of trusted Rangers, the 501st Rangers straight from the craftworld Alaitoc, and used her personal stealth craft to go to the planets surface.
Upon arriving planet side, Sylvanias immediately noticed that the warp felt… different here. It was calmer then she had ever felt it before. She quickly gained a hold of herself and dispersed her squad to look for what was causing the warp anomalies. After thirty minutes of searching for the emanations, she suddenly sensed a spike in the Warp and a second later she and her squad heard a yell as someone flew overhead and impacted with the street not but fifty meters from their location. At the time they heard the crash, Sylvanias sensed another spike in the Warp followed by a constant trickle of Warp energy flowing towards the area of impact. Moving with the grace, agility, and stealth that only Eldar are capable of, she and her squad moved towards the zone of impact and hid themselves in the trees and bushes located near by, with Sylvanias using her abilities to shroud them from the eyes of the mon-keigh. As they watched a human figure climbed out of the crater and started running down the street. Even Sylvanias' composure was blown at this sight. Nothing she or her squad knew of could possibly survive the force of that impact, yet this human shrugged it off as if it were nothing and ran with Warp induced speed. Regaining her composure, she ordered her squad to follow this weird human. Eventually, they traced him back to his home, a dormitory known as "Hinata Sou" in the local language.
And for the next three weeks, she and her squad had observed the young man. They watched in awe and horror as he absorbed blows from his tenants that would wound even a greater demon, yet protected himself with the power of the Warp without even realizing it. Sylvanias watched as the Warp would occasionally 'clog' resulting in his accident prone matter. They watched with growing admiration and respect as this human, this Urashima Keitaro did everything to help his tenants, yet received nothing but abuse in return. The very essence of the warp seemed to flow to and from this odd human, yet he had no conscious knowledge of it.
After bearing witness to the latest beating, Sylvanias decided it was time to take the mon-keigh to Ulthwe for study by the Council and her master, Ulthran.
A/N: Well here is chapter 2. Sorry if it's not as good as the first one, but it had to be rushed to get it in before I get back to school work. Chapter 3 probably will not be added till 1-2 weeks from now. As for the chapter title, I owe it to a character from the Doc Savage line of books, which entertained me when I was a smaller child.
Reviewer Responses: Nysk: Thank you, I am pleased that I could pique your interest.
Rioes: Thanks for the honesty. As for the Naru part being a little (ok, not so little) excessive, It will be used for a couple of plot twists/devices I am thinking of using in future chapters. Also know that I too dislike Naru, but not to an extreme extent, so there was bound to be Naru bashing. Thank you for the review.
Moon Shine Lord: Thank you for the compliment. I try to keep my writing up to standards but I don't always succeed, so please forgive any future trespasses.
Metroidvania: Good call on the plot device. As for the violence of Warhammer 40k, it probably will not be present in this story till chapters in the future. Say around 10-15 at the rate the story is progressing. I am not sure yet if I want the story to go as long as that, but I intend to give my readers what they want.
Shiner980: Yes, the robed figures were rangers. I assure all of you that Naru will be punished, though I am still unsure of the extent and implementation used. If you know a lot about Eldar fluff and the like, then please report any and all errors I have about the Eldar. I would be most honored to receive your input.
PockyGirl of the Phoenix Soul: Thank you for the inspirational shove. I am most flattered.
Major Mike Powell III: Thank you for the support, I intend to continue this story in lieu of lack of responses to my other story. As for killing Naru, it probably will not happen in the actual story, but I would be pleased to put in an omake or two of her dying.
Animeboy 12: Thanks. I am trying to balance the themes from both universes to make a good story. As for things being too tough for Keitaro, they may have been in the beginning, but after the Eldar are finished with him, they won't be.
