The Newcomer
It's been 2 weeks since Ben has arrived at the Eldar planet. The place is quiet and peaceful at night. The stars are very clear in the dark sky. Shining like sparkles dancing together in the darkness of the night. Ben is still stuck to his Big Chill form. He can't do literally anything about it. He tried to be positive about it. At least in this form they wouldn't know his true base form, would they? That's the question that keeps spinning in his mind. What if they would know? They will kill him? "I know the Omnitrix has failsafe protocol sort of thing in its system. But I can't rely to it most of the time." He says to himself silently 'Even though Iwould have the master control I still can't risk it.' He added in his thought.
He continues to stare at the sky. Like the past few days since he got stuck in Necrofriggian form. It seems this form doesn't need to sleep. Albeit, he feels tired sometimes or exhausted from a battle. He still didn't sleepy or something close to that. He wants to have a little chit-chat to the other elders to know more about their history and the history of this galaxy. Yet, they all avoided him. They are still wary of his existence, maybe. Because he just came out of nowhere? What can he tell them? That 'oh, hello I came from a different universe and drop here by accident.' Like that would work on them. They would think that he's just a crazy alien or something. 'But it's not the reason why that they keep avoiding him or don't treat him like the rest of the kind. Especially that Rheandros.' He reasoned 'At least a little nice attitude would brighten his day a little bit.'
The only Eldars who keeps calling or talking with him is that little elder girl and Kaylethe the only Eldar that know about his origin. 'Whew, at least I have few friends. It's better than none at all.' He muttered.
Flashback: 2 weeks ago
In the forest Big Chill comes along the groups of hunting Eldars. They hunt for wild animals *wild aliens* in the forest for food and for the village. The hunting was smooth. No big problems, no distractions, no enemy that came out of nowhere, etc. Only the wild lives in the forest. No big trouble. But it didn't stop him from being annoyed against the group he joined. It looks like they not really fond in him. He really didn't want to come along, but Farseer Kaylethe told him to. Also, he has nothing to do in the village, anyway. So he accepts it.
"Men, this forest seems to be full of predators." He muttered while fighting again a pack of wolves like the creature that he fought for the past few days.
"Uh, guys! I'm getting ganged up here!" He shouted at them "I could use a little hand here?"
"Hmph, for a creature that possess such strength you should overpower them by yourself." Said the Eldar guy who is securing the animals they had caught.
"Yeah, but it doesn't mean I can solo them all!" He protested. Still the Eldars didn't help him "Fine then! I will finish this myself!"
He then continues to fight the wolves alone. Until he able to subdue and knocked them out of action. They continue hunting around the forest till the sun down. The eldars are definitely good in hunting. Their moves are so fluent like they are dancing perfectly with the rhythm. 'Wow, they are really good aren't they.' Big Chill thought as they continue to hunt.
A few hours of hunting in the forest, they finally return home to the village. The Eldars were welcomed by their kins very warmly. While Big Chill well he didn't receive any welcomed at all. The Eldars are still wary of him like he would hurt them or something. But he didn't mind it. He folded his wings to form a cloak and continues to walk away from the group. He sat alone to a bench, head down. He was staring on the ground thinking.
"Alone aren't we?" Big Chill then looked in the direction of the voice and saw Farseer Kaylethe without her helm.
"Something bothers you?" She asked Big Chill. "No, nothing actually." Big Chill answer
"You're lying." Kaylethe said to him. "How would you know?" Big Chill was bit shocked. How did she able to know that? Like this form doesn't show any emotions in its face.
"I'm over a thousand years old Big Chill. Even if you didn't show it, I can sense it." Kaylethe answers his question "So tell me, what your problem is. I might able to help."
"It's just that when you're alone in a place with people who didn't know you and didn't know them too. It makes you feel like an outcast or away from them. Make me feel lonely. But I don't mind it. I completely understand their situation like look at me." Big Chill responded to her question.
"You're not alone Big Chill. I'm here at your side" Kaylethe told her. Big Chill meanwhile, was kind a dumbfounded about her attitude. He was going to say something about her, but he chooses not to.
"Huh, you really mean it?" Big Chill asked her "Yes, I do" Kaylethe responds.
"Thanks." That's all Big Chill can answer. "I have time to talk more care about to tell some of your story?" Kaylethe inquired.
"Ok, where should I start?" He didn't want to tell her the whole truth. He would lose her trust if she knew that he is a human behind his form. He should take this conversation carefully. 'Okay be careful with the words you will spill out Ben.' He thought to himself.
He starts telling her his stories about his adventure in his universe. The battle against the greatest threat from his universe, the species that live there, the Highbreeds, the Andromeda aliens etc. Kaylethe is amused about his story. Ben, meanwhile was kind a worried about it. It would be a problem if she will be too fond of him. Because if Kaylethe learned about the real him. She would probably get devastated. He won't able to trust him anymore if he lied to her. Well he needs to think about it. No, sooner or later she would probably learn that truth.
Meanwhile, the duo didn't notice that Rheandros was staring at them angrily. He didn't feel anything good about that creature, nor good intentions of it. For him the creature was nothing more than a pest. But he chooses to ignore it as he continues what he's doing.
Big Chill was walking alone in the village all by himself. He just ignored the villagers that won't stop gossiping about him. Whilst walking around. He decided to go to the forest. He didn't notice that someone is following him. The person who is following him tried to kick him. Big Chill seems to notice it and turns intangible fast. He looked at the person who tried to kick him. It was Rheandros a ranger.
"Dude, what heck was that all about?" Big Chill asked him.
"It is nothing, creature. I was just testing your agility and reflexes." Rheandros said plainly.
"Uh huh, you could just ask for a spar." Big Chill retorted.
"True, but you will be aware and there is no challenge in it."
"Ugh, just what are you doing in here? Are you trying to follow me?" Big Chill questioned him.
"Following you? Why would I do that?" Rheandros lied.
"I may not be that smart or wise like your species, but I'm not stupid enough to not realize it." Big Chill countered.
"Why are you afraid if someone is following you? Are you hiding something? Are you plotting for the destruction of this maiden world? Or to bring harm to our dear Farseer?" Rheandros said sternly.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm here to help your race." Big Chill said in raspy angry tone. Clearly he didn't like the way Rheandros questioned him.
"Plus, I'm lost in this world." Big chill added.
"Hmph, I will take your words. But know this, if I learn that you are plotting against us. I will not hesitate to take you down." Rheandros told him
Big Chill gulped at this. He didn't flinch, but he was clearly afraid a little bit.
"Trust me. I promise I will bring any harm to your kind." Big Chill said
Then the Eldar walks away after it. Clearly he still didn't believe in him. Big Chill has no choice if he still didn't believe him. He just sighs and continued to walk.
Days have passed already. Big Chill still doing the same work he was doing for the past few days. It was fun for him honestly. He was able to help them in their hunt. That is more important. Little did he know the girl he saved last week from the wolves is staring at Big Chill. She walks towards him without any fear and pulled his cloak *wings*. He then looked at the girl who handed him an odd looking flower. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful flower.
"Thanks kid." He says to the girl patting her head. The girl giggles 'Cute' He said in his mind with amusement.
"Can we fly?" The little girl asked him in Eldar language. The Omnitrix is still fixing itself from the electrical surge. That's why the translator still don't work. It seems it was also busted like the Omnitrix.
"Huh, what?" Big Chill asked the girl, but she keeps pulling him "Okay" Big Chill stands up and the girl tried to climb to his back. Big Chill now knew what the girl wants to.
"You want to fly kid?" He says to the little girl. Meanwhile the girl was just pointing upward.
"Okay!" He unfolded his wings and begun to flap and fly through the air. The girl is really happy while they are flying. Big Chill's enjoys it too. Kaylethe was watching them from the ground, smiling a little bit. The fellow Eldars are scared about the girl and starts to panic a little bit. Kaylethe ease them.
"Do not worry for the safety of the child. The creature means no harm to the girl." She told them
"How are you certain that the creature won't bring harm to the girl?" The other Eldar retorted
"I just know, trust me." The Farseer answered back at them
Meanwhile, Big Chill starts to land after flying a little bit in the sky. The girl clearly wants more. But for him the girl needs to rest. It's already dark now so good for the girl to sleep.
"Sorry kid, I think it's time for you to come home" He told the girl. But the girl seems too eager. Kaylethe comes and told the girl to rest. The little girl pouted. Kaylethe smiles and just patted the little girl.
"There's always a tomorrow little one." Kaylethe told her. Then the girl went back to her home.
"Thanks about that." Big Chill said "That girl seems to be really eager." He added
"You're welcome." Kaylethe responded.
Flashback ends: Present
The sun is starting to rise. The village was waking up. They start doing their own business. Some go to their farm. While some preparing for the hunt again. While Big Chill well looking at them. He is sitting on a tree trunk staring at them. He has nothing to do anyway. So he goes down and starts walking again. The hunters still setting up their tools. For the later hunt of course.
'I think I should walk around a little bit.' He said to himself.
Big Chill walks around the village again. Ignoring the stares from the villager 'They've been staring at me for 2 weeks like I'm still new on to this planet.' Big Chill said. Suddenly someone just pulls his cloak down. It was the little girl that again.
"Hey kid, what's up?" Big Chill asked. The girl wants him to kneel down "I know you want to fly again, but we've been doing that for 2 weeks." He added
The girl seems to mutter a word and pouted and gave him a sad face with the mixture of tear eyes. Big Chill stares at her like she was a lost puppy, begging for love, which is very unbearable for him. He sighs at this and says.
"Okay, wanna see some magic kid?" Big Chill asked her. The girl was just staring at him. Clearly, she didn't understand what he's saying.
"Here it goes." He then forms a blue ball in his hand. The girl somehow flabbergasted with Big Chill's power. He then forms another ball in his other hand and starts juggling it. The little girl is just staring at him with awe and fun and made an 'Ohhh' sound. He makes some few of his magic tricks to the girl. He's trying to entertain her as much as he can. But he knew this would make the girl gets much closer to him. 'Oh great after this she will be more eager to have fun with me.' He thought and sighs again.
XXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, the hunters in the village are setting up their tools for the hunt again while Farseer Kaylethe, Ranger Rheandros and Autarch Jaleen are discussing inside. Farseer Kaylethe had a vision of the future. The maiden world is in danger. The world will burn. In which is the reason why the Elder forces are on this planet. They are preparing for the upcoming tides. She had foreseen it. Two tides will clash and the world will be the battleground. The Eldar that inhabits this world will be caught in crossfire. Yet, these adversaries she speaks to is still unknown. The future was clouded, it renders her vision futile. This is what they fear. The enemy is unknown. They are very uncertain of who they will face.
"Have you foreseen through Farseer Kaylethe?" Autarch Jaleen asked her
"No, I still haven't foreseen it. The future is still clouded."
"I feared that with this uncertainty will make our chances to prevail in the upcoming battle will be low." Rheandros said.
"Yes, indeed, we don't know who we are going to face." Autarch Jaleen said agreeing to Rheandros.
"We don't know the enemy yet one thing is certain. They won't come sooner in this world." Kaylethe said
"So you have predicted their arrival?" Autarch Jaleen asked her.
"No, but as what I can see they won't arrive sooner." Kaylethe answered
"If we don't know when they will come sooner our forces might crumble for an uncertain attack." Rheandros said.
"Even if they have arrived and taken us by surprise, they won't succeed in destroying this world." Kaylethe said calmly.
The two Eldars were shocked about the Farseer's statement. It's not about what she said totally. But in her tone which she said calmly with complacent. It seems she was sure that they will win with this uncertainty. They have never seen the Farseer so calm in predicting things. Especially on things like this even the enemies are still unidentified. No matter the information she about their victory boosted their morale up. But somehow makes them curious about her view of the future.
"How can say it, Farseer? How can we prevail against these tides?" Rheandros asked her curiously.
"I see an emerald light that shines through the darkness. A brilliant light will spark in the shadows, banishing the darkness on its path" She said with slight happy and satisfied tone.
"Before we arrive in the planet you're seems to be afraid that we will lose. What's the cause of the sudden change of fate?" Autarch Jaleen inquired.
"I don't know how it changes. Nevertheless, the only thing that matters is our victory."
"Mhmm, you're right, Farseer. We shouldn't question this instead thanking it." Autarch Jaleen said.
"So what is our plan Farseer?" Rheandros questioned.
"For now we will establish our defense in this world. Ready our troops. We'll make sure the evacuation route is well protected and no obstacles in it. If the threads of fate will change again." Kaylethe said.
XXXXXXXXX
After the discussion the 3 Eldars proceed on their own business in the village. Rheandros comes with the hunters. Autarch Jaleen talk to the Eldar on the planet. While farseer Kaylethe walks away. She was walking around until she saw Big Chill doing some things. First, she didn't notice it 'till she looked clearer. Big Chill was casting some blue energy balls in his hand. Her eyes widen a little bit. She never expected for a creature like to it possesses such ability. The odd thing was he turned the sticks the little girl holding into flowers. There's a possibility that his creature can manipulate the warp. She tried to sense any warp energy in it but none. It seems different from the warp, but almost very similar to it. That's all she can say in her mind. She walks toward Big Chill to ask it. Big Chill was somehow unaware of it.
"Greetings Big Chill and Darylle." This makes Big Chill startled as he didn't expect anyone to come. He looked to his back and saw Kaylethe. He then stops making some mana balls.
"Oh, hello Farseer Kaylethe wait, who is Darylle?" Big Chill asked her. Then he realized when look to the little girl "Ah! So that's that kid's name." Looks at the little girl
"Yes, indeed now." She talks to the girl in their language. She told her that they have something to discuss with her and Big Chill. The girl nodded and run through the other Elder kids.
"So, what do you really want to discuss anyway?"
"I just want to know some things about…your ability." She inquired.
"Like what to be specific?"
"It is about your ability to make blue spherical energy. I sense no warp energy, but seemed to act similar to it. Tell me how can make such a feat?"
"Uhmm, well you can say it's hard to explain, but it's very different from the warp as I can say. This" He then forms a blue energy ball in his hand" blue energy you see is mana. This mana energy can be found well in us." He answered
"Us? Do you mean that even Eldars possess such a power?" She asked curiously.
"Yep! Mana is made out of life energy, meaning that every being has it. It doesn't rely or connected to the warp only in us, our life-force." Big Chill said.
Farseer is shocked that there's such a feat that exist that anyone possess. Yet, they haven't figured it out. Even them one of the oldest beings in the galaxy doesn't know of its existence. If only her kind knew this before. They would not probably depend on warp energy so much. She could imagine if all warrior even Farseers possess and know how to use it.
"A magnificent ability yet no one still knows." She said
"Yeah, you use it to throw things, shoot projectiles with it, teleport, makes platforms, like you can do literally everything because of it. Though I doubt only the good ones and beings with sparks can use its full potential." Big Chill said
"Spark? What is a spark? What is special to it?" She inquired
"I don't really know what it is. But as far as I know who inherits it can manipulate it fluently like a natural ability. The only beings I know who possess it are the Anodites. Free spirited wanderers. They are second of the most powerful beings back in my universe. They can easily control it because of their body is made out of mana." He said.
She was amazed that there's a being like that actually exists. Looks like Big Chill's universe is rich in extra-ordinary life forms. Beings that can bend realities with their power are truly stunning. She was really amused about it. She can't stop wondering about it. Then something comes up with her mind.
"Can I ask more questions of you please?" She said.
"Sure, why not." He shrugged
"I forgot to ask about your Omnitrix."
"Yeah, what's up about it?"
"You said it possessed millions of alien DNA right?"
"Yeah, why?" Big Chill asked her
"I just wonder what power or abilities your aliens have or contain." She asked him curiously
"Ah, well you're going to need a long list. The abilities they have are super-strength, super-speed, flight, regeneration, elemental powers, absorption, Super-intellect, and the list goes on." Big Chill said.
"Amazing, with that power we have a chance to win. Yet" She paused
"Yet?" He asked
"Yet, I doubt you can stop them all at the same time. While we defend one planet, there are ten worlds; maybe more would fall from the war." She said sadly.
Big Chill didn't react to it. He just remained silent. It's true even with those abilities; he can't stop the war all alone. Well the fact it's also possible for him to change it. He didn't want to change the reality. This will just attract attention to the Celestialsapiens, possibly. It's also against his will to change. He had succeeded before. That time he had The Ascalon. If he succeeded before he will succeed today. It's better to die that you know you're trying than none at all.
"Look, I don't how will I help you or win this war. But I know peace will come soon." Big Chill said
"Peace is just an illusion. Only war exists in this galaxy." Kaylethe said bitterly
"I know you've been through. You just need a little faith. Even in the darkness there's always a beacon of light, a beacon of hope for all beings." Big Chill replied sincerely.
"I hope so." She said. Still can't break her grip from the truth that the galaxy has no possible sign of peace.
"By the way, Farseer Kaylethe" Big Chill said
"Yes? Big Chill?"
"You know I have this in my mind. Do you want to learn how to manipulate your mana?" Big Chill questioned.
"Are you doing this because you need something? You just need to ask." She said.
"No I'm doing this willingly without any price or catch."
Kaylethe is stunned at this. Big Chill is willing to teach him to manipulate mana with no certain price.
"Are you willingly going to do it?" She asked again
"Yes, as I can see you have talent in sorcery or that sort of thing." Big Chill said
She somehow a bit fluttered about Big Chills compliment. It actually praised her talent. Even she is not new with it. She still can't stop her feeling. The feeling of someone actually praising your talent is uplifting making her proud of herself.
"Thank you; I will accept your offer." She said with joy in her tone
"Then let's start, maybe later after the hunt." He said. Kaylethe nodded. They then proceed to do what they intend to do.
Kaylethe is patiently waiting that day to Big Chill's arrival. She's been walking around for an hours. However, she didn't mind it. The Autarch seems to notice it. She walks towards her and asked.
"Why are you walking around like your waiting someone?" The Autarch questioned.
"It's nothing Autarch Jaleen." She said "I'm just walking around thinking something." she added.
Autarch just laughed a little bit on her. "Thinking about something or someone?" She teased.
"What made you so sure of it?"
"Oh, Farseer Kaylethe. I may not be good at reading minds like you. I can read people's movement and behavior." Autarch Jaleen replied "So, tell me are you waiting for Rheandros return to have some time with him?" She said with a teasing voice again.
"It is not like that." She said. "I'm just thinking some important matters."
"Keep denying it Farseer Kaylethe but you can't deny your inner feelings." The Autarch then leaves. Farseer Kaylethe somehow has someone in her mind and it's not Rheandros. It's about Big Chill and its offer for her to learn about mana.
The hunting was again successful. The hunters have returned home together with Big Chill and Ranger Rheandros. The villager congratulated them again. While in Big Chill still the same. No one seems to welcome him. He walks alone, away from the group. Kaylethe notice this and frowned a little bit. She walks towards to the necrofriggian. Big Chill then remembers that he needs to teach Kaylethe. Suddenly someone calls him.
"Big Chill!" He turned back and saw Kaylethe walking a little fast toward him. She seemed to be excited.
"You've seemed to be excited" Big Chill said with a raspy voice.
"If I am would it matter?" She countered with a little bit joyful voice.
"Sheesh, no need to be rude, I'm just joking." Big Chill said.
"And so I am." She replied "Well, now you're here you train me I have a place."
"Okay, where do you want to train exactly?" He asked
"Well, in my quarter. It's quiet and peaceful there I could focus properly." She said.
"Oh, then lead the way."
The duo then begun to walk towards the Farseer's quarter. Kaylethe was eager to learn about mana. A new ability she could add in her combat. It's an advantage for her as she needs wide diversity of abilities in her disposal. Big Chill is amused by it a little bit. It was obvious that she was excited to learn.
Little did they know that Rheandros was glaring at them with a little anger in his eyes, he's wondering why Kaylethe want to spend her time again with the creature. So many things come into his mind. But he decides not dive in. He's probably overreacting again. He just watched duo walks away from them. The Autarch noticed it too. But she ignored.
The duo is now in Farseer Kaylethe's quarter. She then removes her armor piece by piece. Big Chill somehow flabbergasted on the Eldar's body. It was really slim and beautiful like a goddess body. He then looks back trying to avoid the sight. The Eldars didn't actually notice this. After removing her armor she then wears her robes and clothes. Big Chill looked back to her and asked.
"Was it really necessary to change?" The Necrofriggan asked.
"No, not really." Kaylethe replied.
"No reason at all?"
"No."
"Okay." The Necrofriggan shrugged off. "So are you ready?" Big Chill said.
"Yes, I am." She answered. "So, where are we going to start?" She added
"We are going to start with the basics, of course. However, since you know how to meditate and concentrate. We're going to jump up the level." Kaylethe nodded at this.
Big Chill then starts telling her the concept of mana. He starts helping her to make spherical energies in her hands. The Eldar seems to learn fast. But she still needs to learn more. Big Chill was somehow satisfied. He bet that she could be better at manipulating mana than him. The duo spends their time that night training and meditating.
It's been five weeks since he had arrived on this planet. Big Chill was getting close to Farseer Kaylethe and the little girl. He had been doing the same job and deeds for 5 weeks continuously. Go hunting, having fun with little kid and training farseer Kaylethe to manipulate mana. The eldar was a fast learner as what he expected.
"Wow, you're actually learning fast. I was really right about you." Big Chill said as the Farseer performing her mana abilities that Big Chill taught her.
"Why, thank you. I will take that as a compliment." She said
"Just keep going no sooner you'll be really good at it. You can even surpass me in it."
"How can you say that? You're the one who is teaching me." She answered back
"True, but it doesn't mean I'm actually good at it. Maybe sooner or later you'll be the one who will be teaching me." He jested.
The two laughed at this. Big Chill is laughing with his raspy voice, while Kaylethe is laughing gracefully and low. They were having a good time. Especially for Kaylethe who fought for centuries. 'She's laughing. In the situation and life she had. It's better for her to feel peace and joy for a moment.' He said in his thought.
'I promise to your kind I will bring save your species and the galaxy as much as I can.' He added
In the village outside the Farseer's quarter, Ranger Rheandros is walking around. He is furious about the two. Especially with Big Chill who is getting closer to her lover. The Farseer seems to be really fond of the creature that she spends her time alone with it. Many negative things come in his mind. He can't take this anymore. He wants to clarify some things to the creature. 'That creature is spending his time with my Farseer every night and for what?' He thought
"Rheandros, is everything fine?" The Autarch questioned "You seemed to be uncomfortable and irritated." She added.
"No it's nothing Autarch. It's just some things as usual." Rheandros lied.
"You know you can't lie to me Rheandros as I said before. Is it about the creature?" She questioned
"Yes, farseer Kaylethe and that creature spending time together every night to her quarter." He said furiously.
"I see, I have notice the two are spending most of the night together alone in her quarter."
"Yes, and I don't like where tis going to. I feared that the creature is manipulating our Farseer." He said
"It seems too far-fetched to me that the creature is manipulating Farseer. She's strong and wise. With her indomitable will nothing could make ever her turn against us." Autarch Jaleen retorted.
"No, I swear the creature is planning something and I am going to find out what it is planning to and put a stop to whatever it is, even if that means I need to spill it out in its own mouth."
"Whatever you are planning, just cease it. It won't do good between you and Kaylethe. You will just ruin your relationship that both of you created these past centuries" She reasoned "But if you are persistent then I have no choice. Tis your own will anyway. But I hope this won't ruin our plans and campaign for this maiden world."
"I will. I will do it swiftly and silently even Kaylethe won't notice." He then walked away.
Jaleen is worried about the outcome of this. Rheandros is persistent and hard headed. This could ruin the plan and campaign. She hopes it's what she thinks it is. Is he really going to put the creature down permanently? This could make Kaylethe livid as she was already fond of the creature and also the reason of their defeat. But the creature is just a creature like every other being. It's nothing like the Eldar, which lived for millions of years wise and powerful. Even if it does possess unique abilities unlike other beings, it would still bleed, feel pain and die from physical means.
"I must do something at least. Even if Rheandros is persistent and will do unnecessary things" She said silently.
The Eldar was preparing for any battle to come in their maiden world. The enemy is unknown; they need to be ready whoever they will fight. This is not the only thing worse that they have been experiencing. Their ships somehow would take months to reach the system and take the population out of danger. There's no Webway in this maiden world so evacuating them will be hard. Even the system itself didn't have one. The nearest one is almost a hundred light years away from the system, while they are preparing for the battle. A giant bio-ship was getting near to the maiden world. It had consumed the planets with any biomass and resources. Long tendrils floating around connected to its body. Few smaller bio ships seemed to escort it. This was a Tyranid bio-ship capable of delivering millions upon millions of Tyranid Gaunt, Warrior, Ravener and other variants. On the other side somehow of the system was the Ork battleship that also flying right in the direction of the maiden world.
"Ey, Boss lokz like I found somefing!" Said the ork
"Huh? Wut iz it?" The ork Warboss asked
"'E've found a planet boss. And it lokz like it's not 'eally dat populated boss." Said the Ork
"'Eally? Then it's not worth looting or conquering for!"
"But boss we still need to try what if there's a great fight waiting for us there? As fa' as I know boss world like this could have those pointy ea's Eldar lived in it."
"Mhmm, Lokz like it'z worth a try! Ok boyz full speed ahead. Get 'eady for some fightin'!" The ork Warboss shouted. Then they've starting singing their orky song while voyaging through the vast emptiness of space. The Orks may be funny. But there brutality cannot be underestimated. As a warmongering race, they seek tough foes and battle to fuel their fun. They can rip a space marine in half easily without any much effort.
Three days have passed already. Ben is still doing the same for the past few weeks. It's starting to make him bored again. But he doesn't have any choice. He can't just go around planets to planets and say 'Hello!' to its inhabitants. This is a different universe, not his. They wouldn't recognize him since the Omnitrix didn't exist and also him. The reason, which is why the very good and useful thing to do is to wait till he get the Omnitrix fixed. That's his first priority at first well, sort of for him. Since he didn't know that the device is capable of teleporting him far away. Not just far away, but very, very, very far away from his home. Now, having small knowledge about this universe his priorities change. As a hero he can't let this universe succumbed to corruption and suffering. He would anything necessary. But Farseer Kaylethe said the galaxy is in constant war. It would be really hard for him to fix it. Except if he used Alien X of course. Changing people and the reality would ease things up. But he can't do it. Changing the very nature of beings and the fabric of time and space is too hard for him to do. Well, reality maybe, but only a few bits of it. Yet, still! He still needs to do something. Things seemed to be hard for him.
"Kaylethe was right, even if I possess this power I can't save all of them. Unless if I have to use my powerful form, Alien X." He said to himself while meditating together with the Farseer.
But he realized something. This is war, right? Does it mean he needs to kill? Or take lives? How will he able to help them if he can't take a life. These make him uncomfortable and lose his focus in meditation. Kaylethe notice this and asked him what was wrong.
"Nothing, just thinking some few things" He said. He breathed deeply and asked "Do I need to kill? I mean I'm not that new in killings, but I haven't killed anyone. It's kinda hard for me"
Kaylethe raised an eyebrow on this "You have never taken lives before?" She asked
"Well, yeah, I'm not really fond of killing or taking lives. It's against my will."
"You're an odd yet amazing one. With all that power you have, you have not taken a life. A true and amazing will. I truly admit it even I can't hold the will to not take life. Because this is war and it is necessary for us to take down someone permanently." She said
"I just can't imagine myself doing that. It's just…" She signals him to stop.
"Listen Big Chill in this universe, survival is what really matters now. If you can't take a life, then you would die. Maybe, you wouldn't because of your device but some innocent probably will. It's hard, yes, but you need to look at the bright side. You will able to help people and defend them." She said.
"I know, but still" He sighs "You're probably right. I should be ready for this" Ben was a hero. He never killed before. But his Grandpa has killed before. He's a plumber and a soldier. So, he probably had taken lives before. He already participated in wars. So, maybe he can too, maybe it's better to take them down permanently to stop the cycle of evil versus good thing. Well, maybe it is better. Maybe he should erase all evil? No! That is against his will. Maybe he could be like his grandpa, a soldier ready to risk his life to protect the innocent. 'Grandpa had taken life before, so it's not really bad if you're fighting for the right thing.' He said to himself, while he was lost in thought the Omnitrix started to beep and blink again. And it speaks.
Omnitrix Functionality At 90%: Unlocking new form: Random Selection Proceeding
"Huh? Random selection…" He wondered.
"It seems your Omnitrix comes online." Kaylethe said.
"Yeah, it seems." Big Chill replied.
Unlocking New Form: Sonorosian Species: Ultimate form acquired
Omnitrix Setting Up Default Form: Ultimate Form For The User Is Now Acquired
User Is Now Defaulted In Ultimate Form: Proceeding
"What?!" Big Chill was shocked that he will obtain ultimate his base form. But he didn't really like being stuck forever in hyper-evolved human form while wearing his Omnitrix.
Ultimate Form Can Be Deactivated Through Will Of The User
"Whew." He breathed 'I thought I will be stuck in my ultimate human form.' He said inwardly. Little did he know that after years of getting upgrades and enhancement from Azmuth. The Omnitrix can now do algorithm, analyzing the possible dangers in every area. It's act like a Cerebrocrustasian in terms of calculating and analyzing. It somehow knows the upcoming danger through advance algorithms. Ben somehow was being skeptical about it. Why will the Omnitrix give him an ultimate form for his base form? He thinks some possibilities. 'Maybe Azmuth put some special system in the Omnitrix in order to keep the user safe or probably be effective in a certain situation.' He thought.
Omnitrix Current Updates Now Finish
"Curious." Kaylethe said while staring at the Omnitrix at Big Chill's chest "Why though?" Big Chill asked.
"Tis nothing, just some thoughts."
"Okay." Big Chill replied instantly like there's no problem at all. Maybe some things just came up to her? That is what he thought. Yet, he never knew how wrong he was. Kaylethe seems to be skeptical about the Omnitrix. It's not really about the device that makes her doubt. It's what it said. So, Big Chill's form isn't its base form? Does that mean Big Chill is not what he supposed to be? Big Chill stated that the Omnitrix holds millions of alien DNA. Does it include human form? If so there's a possibility out of one million forms Big Chill could be a human. But she didn't want to believe the possibility of Big Chill being a human. She despised them for what they did to her home world. The humans those mon-keighs destroy her home. Still the fact that Big Chill being a human in his base form is too impossible. The chances are so slim to be true.
In the warp the Chaos God Tzeentch seems to feel a small shift in the materium universe. The weave and streams of event seem to change. The outcomes of events will be affected majorly in this small shift that comes out of nowhere. Why is it just so sudden? Even his oracles didn't tell him about it. Being at constant war with other chaos gods is never a good thing for him even if they agree on some other things. He didn't want another nuisance to interfere with his schemes and plans. It seems the chaos gods didn't foresee it or felt its presence whatever that thing is he would either use it or destroy it. He will not allow to ruin his plans. But if the tides of the event seemed to be inevitable he would need the help of other chaos god to destroy it just like they did to the Emperor of Mankind.
Big Chill is now walking after training he gave to Kaylethe. The Eldar seems to be persistent to learn no wonder why she's really good at it now. Yet, she still needs to learn more. But he doubted it would not take longer for her to master it. She's above a century years old! And probably a veteran of veteran in human term or based on him of course. He wondered if they found out that he is a human. What would be their reactions? Or the best question what would they do to him? Are they going to imprison him? Or worse execute him? No, they won't kill innocent beings would they? Too many questions in his head that brings fear to him somehow. He's lucky that he is stuck in his alien form if not he would probably be dead already. He sighed at this and shook his head. 'I think I need some time for myself.' He said inwardly.
He'll need to go and find Kaylethe and asked her. He can't just afford any suspicion even a little of it. The Eldars seem to be wary of his presence. Even if the Farseer seems the one only who believe him. He just can't risk it. And so he walks in the village still disregarding the looks of the Eldars to him. He suddenly found Kaylethe talking to Rheandros and Autarch Jaleen. He waits for them to finish their conversation. It didn't take long. He then walks toward Kaylethe. He wasn't aware of the stare Rheandros giving him. He just proceeds.
"Hey guys, I'm just here to ask Kaylethe if…" He was interrupted
"Ask what for her? You're spending so much time with her and we barely talk about our campaign because of you." Rheandros said with bitterness in his voice.
"Enough Rheandros." Kaylethe said.
"Thanks. I was just going to ask her if I can go around a little bit. Ya know for some time for myself outside of this village." He said "Also dude you need to calm down I was just barely asking no need to be rude" He said to Rheandros
"Hmph." Rheandros just ignored this.
"You have my permission Big Chill you can go on." Kaylethe replied. Big Chill then unfolded his wings and fly up in the sky. After Kaylethe was now looking at Rheandros with questioning look.
"Rheandros, you and I need to talk." Kaylethe told Rheandros.
Big Chill was flying in the sky aimlessly. He was thinking about some things again. He was just basically trying to brighten up his mood by thinking positive things. Although it didn't really remove his fears at least it eases up a little bit. After flying for hours he decided to fly to space. Well, not really space just close to it as he's still in the planet's atmosphere. He was staring at the stars and noticed something. It looks like a rock with tentacles? He thought he was just imagining things. He shook his head and tried to look again. He wasn't imagining and also that thing wasn't a rock after all. It seems to be alive? He shook his head and stop wondering. He knows it's not a good sign. It's probably an upcoming invasion. It seems the object or thing whatever it is has escorts. If he only has his To'kustar form he would literally obliterate the fleet easily. So he tried to come back and land saw another ship that looks like a made out of metal scraps. It's seems to be also huge. He can't tell how big it is. Maybe, kilometers long? He looked back and forth. The two ships are getting near probably an hour. He needs to come back to the village to warn them. But he knew he would be a little late as he was very far from the village.
The Eldar in the village was now preparing for the battle. The warriors had been alerted by their scout ships in orbit. They've also alerted the other villages to evacuate and proceed to their locations by the use of their hovercrafts. The people were panicking now. The warriors trying to calm them down.
"Autarch Jaleen what is the situation?" Kaylethe asked
"The situation is fine. However, I'm afraid this won't last long." Autarch Jaleen said "Report says theirs two massive ships incoming towards the planet. They've been identified them as Orks and Tyranids" She added.
"Is there any chance the two will face each other?"
"No" Jaleen sadly and frowned. It could be a good idea if the two forces will engage in space battle. If the two races engage in space this would lessen the damage and their forces. An advantage they could use to win.
Big Chill was now in the forest flying as fast as he could. He silently cursed himself, though it's not really curse/bad words or sort of that thing. He was too far from the village. It would take hours to reach them. He regretted wandering the planet. 'Heck, if only didn't wander that far I would reach them within minutes now.' he said to himself 'I better be hurry!'
He didn't pay attention to most of his surroundings. Suddenly a spore pod hits him in midair. He crashed down back to the land hitting most of the tree trunks before he landed totally. The land forms a small crater from the impact. Ben was a bit dizzy about the impact "Ughhh! That hurts." Holding his head "What hits me anyway?" He looks up in the sky and saw what is happening. The sky is literally raining with spore pods. His eyes widened by this. Then someone tackle him in the wood. He grab it throws it back away from. He looks at the creature who tackled him.
It was a creature wielded two talons in its two limbs and a hand on another two below. The creature was tall. And it possessed an exoskeleton as armor. Its armor at the head is shaped in triangle well its head armor with looks like made up of layer and layer of chitin or hides. It was a Tyranid warrior. It's what Big Chill is facing now.
'What the heck?! I assume this creature is a Tyranid.' Big Chill muttered to himself.
The creature snarled and rushed at him. Big Chill is now in his fighting stance against the beast. He wasn't sure how tough this creature is but he will do his best to subdue or kill it if he needed to. The Tyranid warrior lounged at him, pointing the talon directly at him. Big Chill go intangible fast and creature crashed the tree. The creature was confused it looked back at Big Chill and attack again, only for Big Chill to turn intangible again. After the creature passes his body, he grabs its tail and started to swing it. He then throws it at the tree. His move seems to be futile. The creature charged at him like an angry bull only for him to turn intangible again. Big Chill tries to punch it in the head, but its exo-armor is strong. The creature didn't faze by it. It continues to attack Big Chill. The two wrestled each other with the creature getting the most hit from Big Chill. The creature is getting infuriated by this. Big Chill is also getting infuriated. The creature fought hard. He tried to hit it in the vulnerable area. But still did not work. He decided that it's enough. He breathed deeply and unleashed a cold breath at the Tyranid warrior. Encasing the creature's with ice. He grabs the head and twisted it and snapped it. He's not fond of killing, but in times like this he should get used to it.
"Now you're finished." He said to the dead creature encased with ice. Big Chill heard a rustling sound everywhere. He readied himself again. A Hormagaunt leaped out of nowhere right at him. He punched its face and the creature stumbled back. Another one leaped in. Big Chill goes intangible and freezes it. Yet 3 more goes out to battle him. He encased them with iced and kill some of it. However, more the same creature just came out nowhere. Big Chill is now getting out numbered.
"These guys have no ending in terms of numbers." He says irritated.
He taps his Omnitrix. A bright emerald light blinded the creature for a second and when the light faded. A silicon based creature with headphone on its head and now standing at Big Chills position. It was Ben's Sonorosian form Echo-echo. The Tyranids are confused. The creature they fought just changed. Echo-echo used this opportunity and blasted them with supersonic sound. He taps again. Now stand a hyper-evolved Sonorosian Ultimate echo-echo.
"I think I don't need to hold back so much on you guys." Ultimate Echo-echo said.
Ultimate Echo-Echo then lunch 10 disks and unleash a deadly sonic sound at the creatures, blasting and killing all of them. Even warriors didn't last long at this. He proceeded to every creature he faced while trying to reach the Eldar village. However, countless Tyranids showed, blocking his way which he breaks through by killing them. He even faced a Carnifex. The creature seemed to be formidable. But their battle didn't last long as Ultimate Echo-Echo explodes its head with the use of his 5 disks. He continued to his rampage against these creatures.
The Eldar warriors are holding the village the best as they could against the Tyranid. More and more of the hovercraft come into the village that came from another village. The civilians were at the headquarter, hiding while the warriors try their best to defend them. Woman and children were afraid of the battle that is raging outside. Farseer Kaylethe and the other warriors tried to calm them down. The situation is really maddening, but she was used to it. Of all enemies they would have to fight why the tyranids? The Eldar reinforcement will arrive within 24 hours they need to hold the village.
"What is the situation?" She asked an eldar warrior
"The Tyranid is rampaging and destroying everything in its path. We are still holding them Farseer. But I doubted we would last long in this battle." The warrior replied
"Do not fret; our reinforcement will arrive within 24 hours." She assured.
Kaylethe somehow is losing hope. Every hour more of them are getting closer. Yet, she still holds that hope that she foreseen. If they couldn't win this battle, at least they could all survive. If only the council approved to bring more warriors at her. The chance of winning this war would be greater. She then remembers something. 'Big Chill!' she said inwardly. Big Chill didn't show after the sudden attack. She was worried some to that creature. Could it be that Big Chill is dead? No I can't be. Big Chill possessed certain abilities which are perfect for survival.
"Big Chill can't be dead. That creature would survive." She muttered "That creature has promise in you." She said to herself.
Kaylethe goes outside the headquarters and join the battle. She used or psychic power to disintegrate every Tyranids she encountered slashing them also with her spear. Together with the reapers they hold the position rigorously with the falcons and fire prism to back them. 'Looks like the tide change again.' she said inwardly.
They continue the fight and hold back the Tyranids. Their objective is simple but hard. Hold the line 'till the reinforcement or rescue comes. While they are fighting on the other side of the forest came the Orks who are also fighting the Tyranids. It seems their landing isn't a waste after all. They enjoy fighting the Tyranids. Upon the Orks deaths spores came out their body that will somehow grow and summon new Orks.
"Hah! Lo'kz like I'm goin' to enjoy diz." Said the Warboss who is slaughtering waves upon waves of Tyranids.
"Aye boss!" Said the Nob Ork
They continue to fight the wave of Tyranids in the forest. They didn't care about their fellow Orks. The forces fought hard with no signs of losing. Their number isn't dwindling, either. Just like the battle of Octave.
"I need to hurry fast." Ultimate Echo-Echo said who is now running for hours in the forest trying to reach the village. An explosion came in knocking him back. He stands to see an Ork, which are uglier than he expected. The Orks spotted him and speaks.
"Oi whats that robot fingy" said the Ork.
"Dunno, but I can't wait loot it." said the ork
"So, you're the orks, huh? Men you're uglier than I thought." Ultimate Echo-Echo said.
"Did ya hear what it said to us?!" The Orks was furious about Ultimate Echo-Echo mock
"Ya that fing call us ugly."
"Grrr. Time to show some dakkas." said Ork then all of them face their guns at Ultimate Echo-Echo and shoot him. Ultimate Echo-Echo then used his disks to create a sonic force field. The bullets just bounce off. The Orks just keep shooting at him even their attacks is completely useless. Then their guns run out of ammo. Ultimate Echo-Echo then smirked inwardly.
"Heh, are you guys done? Cause it's my turn." He launches 15 disks on them and said "Sonic Doom!" The disks unleashed deadly sonic sounds killing them. He then proceeds to run.
The Eldar was getting outnumbered but they did not falter. They fought hard as the Tyranids just rushing at their position. Piles and piles of Tyranid bodies surrounded the village. Kaylethe was somehow getting tired of using so much psychic lightning at the Tyranids. Autarch Jaleen was on her side now fighting together back to back.
"Kaylethe are you still able to fight?" Autarch Jaleen asked her.
"Yes, I can" She replied. She ignores the pain and exhaustion. She continues to fight hard. It's been 13 hours since the Tyranid and Ork invasion begun. But somehow the only forces that they've been facing are the Tyranids. A Carnifex shows up right at both them. They ready themselves for a battle. Suddenly the Carnifex shrieks and growls. The two just stare at the Carnifex who seems to shriek from pain. Its head suddenly explodes. Blood splashed right at their helmets. Kaylethe and Jaleen just stared. They notice an object that is circular in shape with a combination of black and blue color. Then someone speaks.
"Sorry I'm late guys." They looked at the source of the new voice and saw a humanoid like robot with 6 disks floating around it. The robot blasted the upcoming Tyranids with its disks. The Autarch readied her spear and Farseer Kaylethe just stared. She then recognized the symbol on its chest.
"Big Chill!?" She asked. Jaleen somehow, look at Kaylethe skeptically.
"Yep! In the flesh! More like components or metals sort of." The robot speaks.
"Wait, this machine is Big Chill?" Jaleen inquired. Kaylethe nodded "But how?! Big Chill is an insect." She feels that she was about to lose her mind.
"Hehe, it's a long story. Better do first things first. But now you can call me Ultimate Echo-Echo."
"I am grateful that you are ok" Kaylethe said "I thought you had fallen from the Tyranids"
"It takes more than them to take someone down like me."
"So are you going to help us hold?" Jaleen asked
"Yep, that's only thing I could so far well for now of course" He said while blasting away Tyranids.
"What do mean exactly?"
"I've seen these creatures coming from space as I wander from the planet. I could probably obliterate them before they reach this planet."
"Hmph, I admit you have bizarre body physiques and abilities, but it doesn't mean you can destroy them alone." Jaleen retorted
"Well, in this form I could not, but in my other form it's possible."
"Other forms?! What do you me…"
"Big Chill possessed the ability to change into another creature." Kaylethe said
"You know about this Farseer?" The Farseer nodded
"Wha..what? How?! Why I was left behind?" Jaleen asked. She feels she's going to lose her mind a little bit.
"Uhmm, let'ss finish this first and story later." Ultimate Echo-Echo said
Autarch Jaleen just nodded. She really needs some answer later, after this battle. The trio holds the village together with warriors. Ultimate Echo-Echo deployed more of his disks for the total of 100 to further protect the village. He continues in killing and blasting the Tyranids away from the village. The other Eldar warriors are flabbergasted at the sudden appearance of Ultimate Echo-Echo. They were jumpy even Rheandros at first, but Kaylethe told them that the automaton is going to help them to survive this. They nodded and continue defending the village.
So that's all guys. This chapter shouldn't take me two weeks to write. But damn the headaches came up all of sudden. It last for at least 6 days. Also more works just came in making my schedule pretty hectic right now just like a few weeks ago.
Welp. Hope you enjoy guys
Bye-Bye!
