Chapter 1: Terror Unending
Running, I've been running for an hour or two. And this God Damned watch won't stop glowing yellow. Said watch was the Omnitrix. In my mind, the info said it was the Omnitrix 40k. It was built just for this universe.
I slid into a burnt out bunker, My lungs were on fire. The entire planet is under siege from every known faction, Imperium? Check. Eldar? Check. Chaos? Check! Ork! Tau! Everyone?! Fucking Check. I looked around and saw a bunch of bodies around me.
Some human or Orks, others Tau. I'm not too proud to admit it, But I'm crying rivers of tears and snot. It's not a good look for anybody. I use my sleeve to get rid of as much snot as possible.
I looked at the Watch, it was very different from the show's version. For one, it was Black and Gold. The Gold was the Digital Lines. Two it covered my entire forearm, my hand included. Third and not least it was still glowing yellow.
I can hear the explosions move off in the distance. I was about to pass out, when I heard footsteps. Two men came into the room and stopped for a second as they stared at me then proceeded to put their backs to each side of the door.
They were guardsmen, the left one whispered at me. "You a civi?" I nodded, He nodded back and looked around. He spots something and points to it. I looked and it was Laz-Rifle. I stared dumbly for a second before reaching for it.
It had dents and blood splattered on it. I went to him, He pointed to his back. "Okay you ever fired a Flashlight?" I shook my head. "Okay on the left side is a nob. First setting is Single shot, Next is Multi-Shot and lastly it's Full Auto. Above the Nob is an ammo counter. Check it."
I looked and saw it was at 34%. "34%" I said quietly. "Damnit" Him and the other Guardsman check their AC. The other man spits on the ground, "Emperor's Piss, I'm at 44%, you?" The first Guard looks down in slight despair. "12%"
I had a terrible idea, "Um, which one of you is the best shot?" They looked at each other and the first man nodded. "I am why?" I then looked around and a lot of the weapons were damaged. "Let's give you the power-packs and give you the best chance to kill whatever is out there. While we search the bodies to give us an edge."
The Second Guard smirks, "Smart for a Civi huh Jared?" They were already moving, I gave Jared my rifle while I turned and looked around. I had to move bodies, I didn't try to hide my grimace. One body was that of a Commisar. He had a bolt pistol. From how light it was I could only assume it was empty.
A rifle thrown past me was a Tau Rifle. I looked back at the guy. He continued to search, I on the other hand picked up the Alien rifle, It was surprising like the Laz-Rifle. Though the Weapon was clearly alien it had the same set up.
The only problem was the Ammo Counter. It was of course in an alien number system. I put it next to the door. Jared gave me an odd look.
I found other weapons, some Imperium,Tau and an Ork Shoota. I knew that would work. "Hey Civi?" I turn to the other man. "Do you know how to use Xeno Tech?" He gave me a hard stare. I shook my head.
"I was thinking of just pointing and shooting. Right now it shouldn't matter what made it. Only that it keeps us alive." I try to sound calm, I don't think it worked. He frowns deeply and nods. "Okay Civi but if we get out of this I'm telling any living commander it's your fault." I nodded. We found Grenades and a couple of mines which Jared instantly turned on and threw them out into the hallway.
Most of the Grenades were only Frags, though a couple were Incendiaries. I gave those to the qualified Soldiers. The other Guard, crouch next to the entrance. He looked at me, "Name's Mason, you?"
I sighed, "My name is Jack Lace. My friends called me Lacy." They both looked at me with shock. They began giggling like little girls. "At least we'll die with a smile." Mason chuckled, then immediately got serious. I pulled out the Tau rifle and aimed down the hallway.
Within a few minutes we heard the cackling of goblins.. Wait, Gretchen. Mason and Jared ready incendiaries. Seconds later we heard an explosion as one or more steps on the mines. First Jared throws his Grenade. We waited for the flash of fire, which from what I could tell caught others aflame.
When the fire died down, we heard a squeaky roar. Which was the cue for Mason to throw his Grenade at the Little Monsters. But unlike last time they ran through it. I froze up at that moment but something broke in me. 'Not Dying Here!'
I pulled the trigger on the Alien Rifle, a brilliant blue light lanced out and cut through a lot of them. Meanwhile Jared and Mason were tossing every Grenade in between shots. Now the bodies were dropping and stacking. Slowing the bastards down, then we heard a proper roar. Or more of a Battle Cry.
WAAAAGH!
We could hear the thunderous stampede, We kept firing into the smoking hallway. I could already see the large hands pulling the dead Gretchen out of the pile. I heard a Bing from my arm. I looked at the Watch. I began to flip through aliens. A lot of the aliens from Ben 10 were already in their Ultimate Forms.
But I decided to go with a Classic, "IT'S HERO TIME!" With a roar, My skin turned into a Bluish-Green Crystal. My main body and legs had a deep rocky purple. There were gold digital lines throughout the Rocky bits.
I charged forward roaring out my new name. "Diamondhead!" My hands lengthen into claws with the palms turning into serrated knives. I tore the Orks apart, I was a bloody blender. Their Shootas struck true but did nothing.
Soon there was enough of a pause that I stabbed the walls and created a barrier. I turn to see Mason and Jared staring at me with pure Hatred. With their rifles pointed at me. But they didn't fire, I think they were out.
"I'll leave, Tell your people, That I'm not an enemy." I walked to the crystal and moved through it. I walked till I found an exit. I tapped the symbol and transformed back into me. I saw hundreds of bodies. I looked at the Watch then at the bodies.
"Omnitrix, scan all Humanoid bodies that match my proportions, then combine the best aspects of their armor into a single piece and then recreate it for me." Suddenly my body was covered in a Black and Gold armor. I checked the read out and found a Grav-Launcher to fly short distances, Magnetic boots and gloves, to cling to walls, a cloaking device and Energy shield.
I then realized that the only weapon I had was the Ork Shoota that I kept. I toss that aside, "Omnitrix, scan all guardsmen and Tau weapons. Best aspects and make them foldable." Within a few seconds I got three weapons.
A rifle, pistol, and shotgun. I looked at their read out, and saw that the Rifle was able to switch between Assault and Sniper. While the Pistol was able to switch between SMG and Heavy Pistol. The shotgun had a mini-grenade thrower.
Each was made with the same tech as the Laz-Rifle and the Tau Lance. They were able to hold a charge much better and they can recharge within a minute. However now that I had badass equipment, I need to get the flying fuck out of here.
I looked around with my HUD to find viable tech. I saw an unknown amount of bodies torn apart with weapons that shouldn't exist. I see a dozen or so burnt out wreaks. Most if not all in a strangely neat pile. I hear an explosion in the distance. I turn to see giant Mechs fighting each other.
The VI in my suit tells me that they are hundreds of kilometers away. I see an Imperial one step forward. When it landed, I could feel the vibration. I ran to the largest pile of scrap and turned into Upgrade. He was different from the show. He/I was all sleek black and with orange digital lines.
When I merge with the scrap heap, I merge them and pull other piles in. Soon I was a large ball of mix technology. I then made a ship that screams GTFO energy. It was Star Trek's Delta Flyer. It had cloaking tech and a Trek style Warp Drive.
I cloaked and headed to the edge of the system as quickly as possible. I also learn that space is fucking huge. I mean when you look up at the stars, you're like wow so big. But being out in the open flying away from the planet. It's terrifying.
I also have no idea where I'm going. I sent a scan out as I exited the star system. I now know that I'm in the north-eastern part of the galaxy. I then notice that I'm near a Tau Enclave, though the imperial data that, for some reason I have, tells me that it's a hostile Tau Enclave.
I head towards there, they are probably not going to shoot at me when they see me. I merge into the middle of the ship and transform back. I look up at the clock and it'll be a whole month before I get there.
"Computer? How fast are we going?" I waited for a few moments, then I heard a Ding. "We are traveling at warp 4.7." Huh. "How fast can we go?" another few moments, Ding. We can safely go up to warp 8, however anything past 8.5 will put stress on the ship."
"Increase warp speed to Warp 5." I go to the crew quarters and start to change. Ding, "Warp 5 achieved, we will reach our destination in 2 weeks time." When I was naked, I got into the shower. I sat in there for what seemed like forever.
The shower turned off on its own. I got up and dried off, then I headed to bed. "Computer? Please dim the lights, and please warn me if we run into anything." The lights dim and I drift to sleep.
Day 1 of Travel: There wasn't anything to eat till I found out we had corpse starch, water, the Imperium equivalent of aged fireball, salt, pepper, and gram crackers. The last one was due to the fact that I had a few broken pieces in my pants. It comes out in a block shape.
Day 4 of Travel: I think I had depression before, but knowing that my soul can be eaten up by any number of monsters in the ether. Or the fact that I could turn into a monster. Bonus: The Guard has sleeping pills. I think a couple of these will help with the New Night Terrors.
Day 9 of Travel: I found out what Corpse starch tastes like. When you eat nothing but crackers and water your body forces you to find something else. So Good news is I'm not going to starve. Bad news is that I'm now a cannibal. I think I'm going to try the Fireball next.
Day 9 of Travel 3 hours later: FUCK YOU FUCK THIS FUCK ALL YA'LL FOR THROWING ME HERE. I THINK I SHOULD JUST START BAMBI ALL YOU. *Urghk* *thud*
Day 10 of Travel: Drink fireball when you won't go through a spiral.
Day 14 of Travel: I reach the edge of the Enclave. I'm going to send a ping requesting elysium.
After sending the ping it took an entire hour before I got a reply back. "State reason for Request?" I sigh, "Everywhere else is shit. I want a place to lay some roots. Maybe help out? I honestly don't know." It took a few minutes for them to reply. "Request Approved, Welcome to the Farsight Enclaves."
