Chapter 5: Kicking Feathers

I think it's been a full year since I've been here. I was back at the shipyard turning the broken ships into actual Warships. The new one was in space itself, a dreadnought. Called Forever Forward, It was torn to pieces by a number of fights.

I transform it into something beautiful, in my opinion. It was now a Tau class Star Destroyer, well technically a super star destroyer. Though more compact, it was armored, shielded and carried a number of weapons.

And thanks to my knowledge of other worlds, it has an onboard replication factory. They will be mostly used for equipment that the crew would need. But in a firefight they can produce the new Tau Drones, automanouse Star-fighters that will search and destroy the enemy.

They even have a Kamikaze program, with a relatively small Vortex Warhead in its core. You'd be surprised what you can get a hold of when you get a regiment of Guardsmen to side with you. Testing them was surprisingly less dangerous than expected.

I mean you just throw the grenade and it opens the warp for a few seconds and pulls everything in then it's gone. Though to be honest it will stay open if used continuously in the same spot. The Tau had learned that the hard way.

On the plus side, Forever Forward is the first ship to use the new Trek-Drive. We found that it is 100% safer but 90% slower and that's going to 9.9 speed. Though it's a start I need to draw up plans to create the Warp Gate that the Borg use.

I was on the ship when my Omni-tool beeps. I turn it on to see Sarge, "Lace? We need you again with the Eldar. They just found out about your Chaos forms. Want to make sure that their 'Savior' isn't corrupted."

"I'll be down in a minute, I got to finish the checks up." He nods and turns off the coms. I sighed, that was something I was trying to avoid. I didn't want to turn into those things. Fighting them is alright with me but the thought turns my stomach inside out.

I thought about taking my time, but that wouldn't be fair to Sarge or the other Tau on world. If I turned into one of them without knowing what to do, I would be a danger to them. I finished my checks and headed to the Transporter. Again another thing that was 100% safer. Thank you Star Trek.

A few minutes later I was at the Tau/Eldar base. More Tau than Eldar, but every now and then the Farseer of the Ra Kin would come to demand my attention. Honestly it was getting on my nerves, I had things to do.

Sarge was waiting outside, Him and a dozen Firecaste members having a standoff with the Farseer and her Seer council. I sighed again, I've been doing that more and more these days. I step forward. "Let's go over to the open area. So we don't cause to much of a-"

She hissed, "You should have told us that you hold those forms." I arched an eyebrow, "Why?" Her eyes widened in surprise, "So we could prepare in case you turn against us." I began walking, Both groups followed.

"Believe it or not Farseer, you are not my priority nor are you the center of my universe. I can't keep dropping everything to tend to your needs. I have other things to do." We stop at the edge of the base. She scoffs, "What we must do for the safety of not only my race but yours as well comes above all else."

"Let's just get this over with. I'm tired of dealing with you." I began to dial up the demons, let's start with the first one. I press down and transform into a greater Daemon of Khorne. Tall, powerfully built and wearing a one piece suit of black and orange.

"COLD- BLOOD! IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU FUCKING KNIFE-EARED CUNT!?" My voice boomed across the area. With literal sparks of ash and fire. It took everything to not tear into her and make sure that all who see me knows that I'm the King here.

I clap my chest to turn into the next demon. "Clear-out! Urb, I think I hate this one. I can feel the clean air. Bleh." Again I turn into a greater Daemon of Nurgle. I was a black scab with orange pus. I transformed again.

I turned into a Changer, and I immediately knew something I shouldn't. My bird-like head twitches here and there. I knew that I should change but I also knew that it would be bad to change into it. Ra Kin were an offshoot of the Biel Tan. No, an offshoot of an offshoot. They think they can manipulate me? Do they not know that I know more now than ever? My hand moves up to my chest and presses the Omnitrix symbol almost caressing it.

I transformed into a Keeper now. The air I'm breathing is intoxicating. I looked at the pretty Eldar. "What's wrong, my pets? Didn't you want this? I can do anything now. I can be your good boy or bad girl. They had raised their weapons, their fear tastes SOOOO good. This can get addicting. I slap my hip and transform back into me.

I then laid down as my world was spinning, I could faintly hear Sarge talking at me. With the Eldar making whooshing noises. Soon the world decided to stop spinning. I was lifted up into a sitting position and was given some water. I see a Firecaste Medic checking me over.

Sarge came up, "You okay Lace? Jack?" I raise a hand nodding, "After effects, I wasn't ready for them. I got a good idea of what I can do with them, but I need to rest for a few minutes." The Farseer steps forward. "Did you feel the pull of the Cursed ones?"

I shook my head, "No, like Free-seer I was untied to their whims. At least I only have four of them." Just then the Omnitirx made a beeping noise. I looked down and saw that it was yellow. It turned green after a second. I dial the new one…two?

They looked like the Daemon from Total War Warhammer 3. One was just wearing the regular one piece. The other was wearing a different looking one. The Top half was split between Orange and black while the bottom half was split the same but on opposite sides.

The Eldar looked at me expectling, I shrugged. "Like I know how the fucking thing works." Sarge helped me to my feet. I shake my head out of the new Cobwebs. The Eldar stood in front of us, "We need to know what they all can do, not you having a tantrum at us."

I looked at her then at Sarge, "Sir permission to go home to rest up." He nods, and I turn back to the Farseer. "You'll need to learn to move at our speed. We don't want another miscarried." Her eyes widen barely contain shame and anger.

I took the transport and went home. Lucky me that I cracked site to site teleportation first rather than Ground to Orbit first. I wouldn't trust it at first either.. Or at second or third for that matter. Tele-Fraggin scared the shit out of me.

The Chaos Incursion that happened a couple months ago caused another attack three times by different factions of Chaos. Luckily my Tau-Star Destroyers were able to help out. Forever Forward will be the 4th one I've made.

Who would've thought that a 40k Version of Upgrade would be so powerful. I had other plans set to help make more without me being there at all times. Such as a Mobile Space Station Dockyard. Um.. Name pending. I was going to make it look like the Death Star but that seems in poor taste and would paint a giant target on it.

But I did make a death star plan. Well the Darksaber from Legends. Just a giant lightsaber shaped starship. Out of all sci-fi genres Star wars was the one to go to for war. Which brings up my next point, Droids. Cheap disposable troops that we can create by the hundreds if not thousands.

Only need to figure out how to make them be more effective then they were in the damn show. Also I would need to make sure the Tactical and General Droids actually use the knowledge of Extra-planer Abilities against the enemy.

On a major plus side, I had several universes to get said Droid armies. For instance in Mass effect there was the Regular Mechs and the Geth. In Fallout there are all kinds of Bots to play with. Hell the Animal Machines of Horizon would be very useful.

I got a drink and a bite to eat and went down to my workshop. The room was big enough for an alien like Brainstorm to move around freely. While there was also a small outcove in the wall for Greymatter to work. There was even a Trash Room for Juryrigg, Thank God it doesn't smell.

I sat on the bed in the room, and finished my small meal. I took a nap and would hopefully wake up in a few minutes. My dreams were weird like always since being here. I can see myself wrapped in veins or plants like tendrils. Before I can see where it goes, I am suddenly woken up.

My body shape shifts into Goop, while a Tau woman with a glowing green blade attaches to her wrist. She lifts her arm up to hopefully cut me in two. But within a few seconds I was wrapped around her and with a twist of my liquid body I threw her against the far wall.

She sticks to the wall, after a few minutes of struggling she sags and looks at me with furious eyes. She sucks in a breath and the next thing I know, her head exploded with a loud pop. Three Fire Casters rushed in, weapons drawn.

"Gue'vesa?! What in the Farsight's name happened?" I transformed back and sat down, back on the bed. "Leather Shapeshifter Assassin tried to cut me in two while I was asleep." They looked at the Woman and saw that the head was dissolving along with the rest of her body.

The next few weeks were hectic to say the least. After I told them that the Assassin was from the Callidus Temple. They began to screen all women, and then I told them about the other assassin temples. Like the Vindicare Assassins. Now there's a veritable Armada of Drones of various kinds.

Looking for anything out of place, so far nothing. I got to make some new additions to the base. Such as creating a multiple wall system around the base. First tall walls with no holds to climb up on. Next the top will get spiky bits, third 12 meters of land outside the wall will get cleared and mined out.

New mines were developed for situations like this and not by me either. A bunch of Eggheads combined a bunch of different kinds of mines. A combo of Flash and Smoke grenades then some Rainbow Grenades. Deafen, blinded and then shredded will make short work of anybody.

Of course we had an open sea that leads to other places with the help of Kai'rue, and a diving suit for diamondhead. I went around the Sea, creating towers and one sea platform. The diving suit is mostly to keep the water out of me while I land at the bottom. It wouldn't stop me from working but it would be annoying to keep coughing up water.

The new Metal Caste began working on every sensor imaginable. The Metal Caste is made up of the Genius Aliens that I had cloned. It really doesn't take long before they become true beings, started expanding their own races.

Speaking of new Castes, the Water sub-caste was the Wave Caste. It was headed by two of my clones who decided that their differences were their strengths. Phagic and Shift-Out, My Symbiote and Martian Aliens. They had the same treatment as the Tau-startes and Sole-Choir.

Their minds were mine but they combined and became someone new. They call themselves Tsunami-Domo. They haven't told me what they're meant to be but I have my suspicions. Air got one too, Called the Storm Caste.

A creation of the Metal Caste, they were a literal Armada of Vehicles, Drones and Ships, all controlled by a network Ai. Called StarNet, I sent several strongly worded messages to them about the name. They message me back with a Lm 0, 10!, R0f1 and a Git-Gud-Scrublord I'm ripped.

I think I hate children because of that. Only a year old and already acting like brats towards their dad. After building everything I was told to get back to doing what I was doing. When I got back I got started on making the Fire Caste equivalent of the Storm Caste.

I started to create the Droid Army of my dreams. Starting with Star Wars, I made the entire roster of Separatist Droids. With a few modifications, B1's were thicker and carried multiple weapons.

A Lance Rifle/Pistol and Power Blade, they also have an energy shield in the arm. I gave the B2's a shield generator. To save them from being torn to shreds. Droidekas were redesigned and made into the version from Forces of Corruptions.

The BX-Commando's were pretty much the same but with adaptive camouflage armor. MegaGuard was exactly the same, but I made them for security. Crab Droids were fun and I even made them in three sizes. Small(the size of a large bear,) Medium(the size of a large truck,) and Large(the size of several large tanks.)

The Seppys droids got the Vehicles too, as a side bonus. Next was Mass Effect, First was the Mechs, such as the FENRIS, LOKI, YMIR, Atlas Mech and Rampart mechs. The only thing I changed was the FENRIS mechs, which made them look like actual Wolves. Even made a Dire wolf version.

Next was the Geth, which was weird, making a couple thousands at a time really up the intelligence of the Machine. So much that they ask me the question that damned a race to 300 years of star travel. I told them the truth, "I don't know, maybe when you're older."

The Fallout Series was fun and I made sure to get the voices right. Liberty Prime was fun to make. Especially when you make them in various titan sizes. Hearing the tin can saying, "The Greater Good is non-negotiable." His normal size doesn't even come up to a Knights knees.

But when you can make a couple hundred, and deploy them all in a single battle, with a giant replicator on their backs that will allow them to throw Super-Melta Bombs. Soon after several weeks of building the new Forge Caste. I was ordered to take a week off.

I was surrounded by the main squad, Sarge, Kai'rue, Marrick and the Bald Woman whose name is Blana, she was a Pathfinder. Fex Ura, the Mechanic, and Carin Luke the Medic. We were sitting around a fire outside watching the stars.

Blana was drinking my soda that I made. I think it's the Sprite, "Where the Fuck did you even come from to drink this heavenly drink? Emperor's balls, this is good shit." Fex was playing a tune on Flute. I shrugged, "It's called Earth and what you're drinking is called Sprite."

Marrick was chuckling, while Carin was telling him bad jokes. Sarge drinking something else, "I have to admit Lacy. I thought this blue water was going to intoxicate me. But all it does is taste funny." Blue water? Oh, "That's the Blue Hawaiian. It's not healthy by any means but it tastes good."

Blana Moves closer to me, Till she can put an arm around my shoulders, "Tell me of Earth Lacy Boy? Is it a shining example of your people in the cosmos or is it a dust bowl of horrors." I smiled, It is a blue jewel with small patches of green. It was beautiful, I can only hope I can go home."

Kai'rue shuffles next to me and places her forehead against my arm. The Omnitrix translates this as shared sadness. Proper response was to let it happen till she stops. She does after a couple of seconds. "Shifter good friend, Hope brings tragedy but resolution."

Blana rested her head on my shoulder, "This universe is cruel, can't just have this one, it has to go get another one." I knew that was a possibility, I figured it was Tzeetch that brought me. But it really could've been just some psyker that did the right thing at the wrong time. Or Vice versa.

I then suddenly realize that I have two women laying against me. Sure one was an alien and the other was a crazed hunter. Women nonetheless, I then see Carin and Marrick holding hands while looking at the stars. Sarge was laying his head against the back of the log.

Fex had changed the tempo on his flute. It was a peaceful song, with uplifting undertones. Kei'rue and Blana started to lay down and pulled me with them. I went with them and we passed out. In the morning, Kei'rue had gotten up before everyone headed to her Tau-hawk.

Blana woke up by standing up real quick looking dizzy then throwing up in the firepit. "What the fuck I thought it wasn't acholic?! Why do I feel sick?!" I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "Normally a regular person would drink a couple of cups. You decided that drinking a couple of two liters was okay."

Sarge starts to look worried, "The Blue Hawaiian?" I rolled my eyes, "You're going to pee for a minute longer." Fex got up and kicked Carin's leg to get him up. They both made their way to the Crystal base, with Marrick following suit.

Blana stares daggers at me, "You were probably laughing at me in my sleep." I shook my head, "It slipped my mind honestly, I'm sorry. I'll put some labels on them." I got to my feet and headed to the Base. I suddenly felt an arm around my shoulders again.

I look to see Blana give a poor expression to someone who's been wrong. "Oh Lacy, why would you poison someone who gave you their sympathy? I thought we had something in common but you're just as foul as the rest of them." She puts a hand to her head, "Oh how can I go on with this heavy heart."

Her eyes are closed for dramatic effect, until one opens to see if I've been moved. "Blana, my dear?" She looks at me with an almost bashful look, "Yes?" I put an arm around her waist. "Let's get something to eat. I'm hungry." I smiled at her, and she scoffed. "Bah, men, Have three brains but only think with two."

I laugh, "Well yeah the third one is trying to keep it all together." She laughs at that, we went to the main room and to the newly crafted cafeteria. A few hundred worlds are within the Farsight Sphere. And before they split, the Tau Empire a Few Thousand. With all the Plants and animal meals that come with it.

Put them in the Food Replicator and you solve galactic hunger. It'll take a while before I can make My Earth food as good as I make the drinks. But I'm making progress, Ice Cream is a hit alongside the ever popular Slice Bread.

Blana was drinking water, the Clean/Healthy kind. She was having a few toasted bread with butter and jelly. I was having something called Kem'luk Soup. It looks like Chicken Noodles. If the noodles were blue and the chicken was a weird orange color, It tastes like it though.

Blana was talking about her most daring pathfinding mission. Dodging elite patrols and making a quadruple headshot combo. Though she admits that it was just a bunch of lowly choppa boyz. I was going to question the reality of it, Sarge comes in with a grim look. He spotted us and marched forward.

By the way Blana tense up I knew that something bad happened or was going to happen. Stop in front of us and then sit down next to me. He takes a moment before speaking. "Good news is that we have several worlds within the Farsight Spheres. Most of the Alien Cloned children are going to be transported there so that they can grow with minor supervision."

He pulls out a datapad, "By the orders of Commander Farsight, Special Unit Assets are to be sent to the eastern side of the Farsight Enclave War Front. Along with Sargent Lackic, Kroot Air Caste unit Kai'rue, Earth Caste unit Fex Ura, Fire Caste Units Blana Carin Luke, Water Caste unit Marrik. And Special Unit Jack Lace. Alongside the Inferno and Forge Castes. For the Greater Good."

I put my head into my hands. "Sarge, how bad is the Eastern Front?" He sighs, "Two Warring Ork Waaghs are fighting us and themselves, Chaos Warbands, Imperial war fleets and one Necron Tomb that is slowly waking up."

Blana Curses under her breath, "Sarge, do we have titles for these monsters?" I raised my head to look at him, as he scrolled through his briefing. "Chaos Warband are a combination of Night Lords, Word Bearers and various Alpha Legions. Most of the Imperium are busy hunting the Orks clans, which are called Clan Orkperium and Clan Bakstabbas."

I looked at him in terror, "What do you mean Orkperium and Baktabbas?!" He looks at me in shock. "You know about these clans? We've only just learned about them." "God Fucking Dammit! Those shouldn't even be real!"

Blana looks worried, "So not from 'Official Sources'?" I shook my head. Official Sources was the term coined to hide me from would-be seekers. "Fuck me, They are 'joke' ork clans. Both are based on the imperium and the Chaos factions. The 'Lore' states they mostly argue about who's the better Primarch or replay the Horus Heresy."

I took a drink of my water and then thought of something terrible. "What world are they on?" he nods, "They are a newly conquered world Dubbed Jump Off. There are a dozen or so warp routes that can lead to some favorable worlds."

"But it's not just the Orks, several Chaos Warbands and it appears to be a Tomb World and the Imperium are setting up shop in the Northern Mountains, with a confirmed sighting of Space Marines." Blana rubs her face with a groan and I get up. "We best get packing. I would rather we go and deal with this now rather than later."

Sarge Gets up and gives us both a Guards Salute, We return it. We went to our respective dorms and got ready to leave. I went to my workshop to see what I can build along the way. Only to see the green adhesive that holds the Assassin was still there.

She was gone but Goop's goop was still there. "Huh" I quickly transformed and got rid of it. Shouldn't leave the place in a mess. I logged into my desktop and downloaded all the tech that can be built the quickest and the can mass built.

After I was we piled in the Tau-Hawk and flew to the assembled fleet. I can see Tau Class Star Destroyers, with two new ships. I then realized what they were. The Arc Hammer and the Mothership from Homeworld. There were Ten of the Hammers and four of the Motherships.

And they were scaled up to 40k scales. The mothership was already a giant ship, but now I know it can win. Kai'rue chirps, "We be stars now." I got access to the StarNet, sure it's Network Ai but it's the new space internet. The names of the Motherships, Hera, Frigg, Isis and Kali.

The Hammers are called Vulcan, Hephaestus, Brokk, Sindri, Ptah, Ogun, Alue, Celebrimbor, Gond, and Torag. I see hundreds of other ships like trek ships, mass effect and various other ships from different realities. All scaled up to 40k standards.

We landed on the largest Star Destroyer. We were put into temporary quarters. We got beds, food and showers. We suspected that we would be taking a longer but safer route. Until the screen in our room turned on with a series of texts.

"Hey Pops, we figured out a way to use Trek-Warp travel a lot faster than normal. Also stargate is a thing now. It's not the Webway but pretty close. Also get to your ship we will be exited from Trek-space soon. XOXOXOXO"

We looked at each other then heard the Klaxon Alarm going off. Everyone was cursing now, Blana was yelling at me. "You better tell your kids to shape up or they're gonna get an ass-kicking."

The holo-screens along the wall to the hanger, showed a pair of boots shaking. "Oh fuck you brats." We got into the shuttle and the next thing I knew we made a hot landing in The Horizon Fortress.

Which was being under attack by, guest it Orks specifically Ultra-Orks. Armor and skin painted in both Blue and white. Alongside them was the Gretchen-Guards and in the distance I see a massive Ork in blue and white armor. Every once and while he roars the color of the world disappears briefly.

The Ultra-Orks then roar and fight harder. Usually a Tau Fortress would have high walls with an energy curtain. But there's a giant hole in said wall, Sarge orders to take cover. I then heard whistling. I looked up and saw thousands of pods making their way to the earth.

These weren't Marine Pods but nonetheless a force to be reckoned with. They slammed into the ground with thunderous applause. Soon from the pods came bright bluish green bolts of energy. The Prime-Ork Roars and most of his forces disappear in a flash of green and red energy.

I looked and saw the Geth units, not just the ones that came out of the pods but said pods are glowing and more Geth units are coming out. Though the Geth looked like the Geth their armor is colored in the Tau colors. Several of the units began repairing the wall and started to set up turrets and War Replicators.

As that is happening, a few dozen shuttles are making their way to the Fortress. The Commander of the Fortress comes to the courtyard. "Attention Brothers and Sisters. I thank those who came to our aid in a most timely fashion. But we have numerous problems. We need to get into contact with the other forts and bases of operations. I know that two other Fortresses have been holding out and hopefully they'll receive reinforcements."

He takes a breath but coughs instead. After he was done he continued. "First we need to secure this region. I have a list of 88 Ammo depots, 43 Major Factories and 12 Greater Comms Towers. I need Sargents to gather and decide who goes where and who fights who. I need to try to get in touch with the other Fortresses."

He rushes back in the building and the sargents start to talk, along with the Geth Prime unit. I was checking my armor and weapons to make sure that they were ready. Till I hear Sarge shout for me.

"This is Jack Lace Special Asset, Jack this is Sargent Do'kon, Lev'get and Sho'yo. We've been assigned together." He turns to the Prime Unit. "The Forge-Caster says they won't be able to land like they did the last time. They've created a Jamming Device to stop targeting."

The Prime Unit did the Tau salute to me. "Prime-Creator, we need to find the jammers and disable them." I got an idea, "Is it possible to use a tight beam locator?" It nods, "The Geth have already tried that we need to know where bases are exactly."

I turn to the sarges, "Do we have maps?" Sho'yo shakes her head, "No, we know where the towers are cause you can see them from just about anywhere but they were all captured by Iron andz, Da Iron Waaagh, and the EmperOrks Fistz. They sent out a scrambler that wiped the drives of our datacores."

I smirk, "Then we need to free the comms towers. I'm going to need a powerful but portable Locator." Sarge puts a hand on my shoulder. "What're you planning son?" The locator doesn't need to be at ground level to work. If I fly I would most likely be shot down. But I have a couple of Speedsters that can in fact get in on the top of those towers."

He looks at the other sargents then to the Prime Unit, "Likelihood of success?" The Geth Unit thinks for a few nanoseconds. "We would need to see the speed of each Prime-Creator form." The other Sargents draw a line about a meter apart. First was XLR8 and then Fasttrack.

"We believe that Creator-XLR8 would have a 77% chance to succeed. While Creator-Fasttrack would have a 73% chance to succeed." I transform back into XLR8 and a Geth Trooper waiting with a blocky backpack. I put it on a latch and made sure it wouldn't fly off.

The Sargents gave me a salute, while Sarge, "For the Greater Good!" I give them a sly smirk, "Be back in a Flash!" And I was off, as I was running to 'closest one' the world turned a slight gray and started to freeze in place. The closest Tower was several hundred miles away.

As I was getting closer I saw a literal carpet of Gretchen-Guard, when I got close enough I reached out and started pulling pins on their Grenades. Then I saw the Ork-Fort just race up it then down and around till I got to the Tower I went up and up and up. Soon I reached the top and saw it has a maintenance platform.

I checked all over the platform to make sure there were no nasty surprises. I then set up the Locator. Finally I stopped and felt numerous explosions. I'm so high up I don't even get to the soft thump. I then hear the familiar sound of pods dropping. Again a few Thousand came down this time with a few dozen larger pods.

I raced down and started pulling pins, poking eyes out and redirecting shots to hit their own. After I was down the Pods landed and out came the Separatist Droid army. They Geth may have thousands but the Seps were meant to win wars of attrition. The Big pods were for their vehicles. An army of BXs do an I,Robot impression swarm over the large warbosses.

I made short bursts of speed to kill over ambitious Orks. Soon Tower Alpha was secured. I ran back to the Fortress and saw that the Geth had made another Locator. I strap it in and race to Tower Beta it was further and bit North-East. And I did the exact same thing. Pulling pins and popping eyes.

When I made my way to the top I checked for Traps set up and did the same thing again. I looked to the distance and saw the fleet of Forge-Droid vehicles coming in hot. The Droid speeders were coming in a swarm. I race down and to help out. This happens to Tower Charlie and Delta.

We had a beachhead and while I was out doing the Greater Good Justice. Most of the Tau Army secured a number of assets. Such as a dozen Ammo Depots and 7 of the Major Factories. All are in need of major repair. This is where things get a bit tricky. Tower Espolon and every tower after are across a major highway and bridge. The Former Imperial Citizens had to build it over a Major Canyon.

Both ends are heavily fortified and the bridge itself is rigged. Not to mention that the sides of the Bridge have hundreds of Loota Tanks and Trukks so they can fire on us if we try to go around. I was at one of the Depots. Which gave us a good view of said bridge.

Which is under attack by the near Endless Forge-Droid-Army(FDA) The Geth Army are also in the Attack. Every now and then a bright flash goes off. Sometimes several, using the Cain Launchers. I would like a modern version of the Fatman but we're trying to save the planet not kill it.

In the Distance beyond the bridge, We can see Thousands of Orks pouring into the bridge to slow down the FDA. Good news, We have control of the Orbit. Bad news, Both the Orks and Chaos have set up Major Bases on different sides of the planet. Good news is that the Imperium is mostly focusing on the Chaos. Bad news, Old Man Necron is partially awake and is pissed that we are on his lawn.

Blana Decloaks next to me, giving me a heart attack. "Fucking Christ women. I coulda shot you." Her armor usually looks clean but now was practically caked in dirt, blood and other things. She takes off her helmet and Breath. Her normally bald head was starting to fuzz up. And she wasn't getting enough sleep if the bags under her eyes are anything to go by.

"Are you okay?" I grabbed a cloth and tried to rub some dirt off her face. "I'm fine, tired is all. I got a message from Marrick. Saying that Command got partial scans up and they've detected a huge energy signature near the Chaos base or at least where we think they are."

Most likely Necron, we knew they were waking up. I gave her my cantine and she took a couple gulps. "Damn good water. You never know what you'll miss when you go a few days without it. Don't get me wrong, Lacy your new Armor is very useful. But I don't think I like the idea of drinking my own recycled sweat and piss." I chuckled

"I wasn't planning on putting it to use so soon. You should rest up while you have a chance." She nods and lays against some crates. I do the same and try to control my breathing. Back home you hear stories of veterans getting used to the Gunfire and the Explosions in the distance.

But worst of all they don't tell you the smell of cooked meat from a living thinking creature smells disgustingly sweet. The Orks are a Group of sentient Fungus. So to add the Earthy smell to that. If Only there was some way to redirect the Orks to attack Chaos… I lifted up my comms wrist and Contacted The Geth Collective Network.

PCA-1

I need Tsunami-Domo and a couple of Mechamorphs.

It didn't take a genius to figure out what I plan on doing. Though it did take time to figure out how I was going to get there. It took a day for the four Mechamorphs to join me and Tsunami-Domo. I turn to the Geth Unit. "I ask for a couple Mechamorphs. Why four?"

One of the Mechamorphs steps forward, "Greetings Pops, I'm Malware, I specialize in Electronic warfare. This is EDI and her twin Cortana, both specialize in Equipment Management." He points to the slightly skinnier version of the Mechamorphs. EDI was Silver with Blue highlights. While Cortana was Blue with Green highlights that pulse with purple every now and then.

"Last but not least, Is Spawner has a unique ability to create mini-copies of himself as well as holograms and whatnot. I looked at the tall and rather fat Mechamorph. He was all black save for a slight shimmer of red. Suddenly a few faces and hands press against his body.

With a minor flash, Tsunami-Domo appears. He had the same shape as Martian Manhunter But with a Full yellow body with red,green and white highlights. Of course he was wearing a skin tight bodysuit with red X across it. Though he had a green cape with a white spiral.

"Hello Me/Hello Me" I nodded. He smiled warmly, then Yellow and Black flames flickered around his body. Almost like Lightning Bugs or embers. "We miss it too/We miss it too" I got a brief glimpse of home, family around the campfire. Along with that was the night before our deployment.

I breathed in and out, I turned to the Sargents and the Horizon Fortress Commander. "I have a plan. One of my forms is the Ork's Predecessor known as a Krork, I call him War-Drum due to the fact that he has 6 Large Hearts Beating in tandem. Like a wardrum. I only transformed into him once."

"I made a low-end Armor with weapons. With the four Mechamorphs and Tsunami-Domo fused into War-Drum I should be able to challenge the Da Boss Emprah, for control of the Orkperium. And maybe find out what the Bakstabbas are working with them?"

I looked at all of them, "This may be our chance to get a Powerful Ally or at least a great weapon. Tsunami-Domo made a humming noise. "Give us a couple of hours/Give us a couple of hours—We need to get something to help us/We need to get something to help us" I looked to the Commander.

He thought for a moment, "If we do this we will need every advantage we can get. I'll give you one hour, Wave-caster, go!" He nods and heads to the Biolabs. I took the time to grab a bite to eat. As I was looking around at the Tau and the various humans and droids. I see something shocking.

The Tau women that tried to kill me weeks ago. She was posing as a pathfinder now, she was talking to some of the humans. Smiling brightly, she nods and the humans walk away. She watches them then looks around and then spots me. Her eyes go wide not in fright but pure hatred.

We stared each other down till a crowd between us and when it passed she was gone. I made my way to the Sarge and he looked back at me. He gained a few new scars, "Something wrong Lace?" I nod while looking at the crowds and possible hiding spots.

"Remember the assassin a few weeks ago?" He nods, "I saw her again, with the same Tau face, in a pathfinder armor." He looks at me like I grew another head. "Are you sure, she was pretty dissolved at the end there." I nod, "If she was just using the face I'd understand. But when she noticed me I saw nothing but fury. Back home we have a saying, 'If looks could kill.'"

He looks around hoping to see the assassin. "So a clone Or a twin? I'm not sure what's more damning." I shook my head, "Clones wouldn't have the hatred that I saw, a twin might. It was more like 'How dare you?' Like an affront to what was supposed to happen."

He grimaces, "Now we have a Revenge Plot to our War story." It was my turn to see if he had grown a new head. He looks at me with a slight embarrassment. "I like a good War novel, and some romances." I tried to arch an eyebrow but I couldn't get it right. "I'm surprised Sarge, You got a beating heart in your tin chest."

He scoffs then chuckles, "I'm human Jack, I bleed red like so many others. I've been married 12 times. I had 4 or 5 children with each and they all cursed me for wanting a better life for me and them." I nod, "Now let's retire this road and return to the problem at hand."

We inform StarNet, Geth Network and other intelligence groups. They'll be watching everyone like it was 1984, God I hate how that is more true now then back then. Soon Tsunami-Domo comes back. His skin/suit now have faint blue and purple lines. "We have made an upgrade to us/We have made an upgrade to us" I take a brief look around then we all gather onto a stealth shuttle.

It cloaks, it dampens, it scrambles, and it can make several drones that can create hard light holograms to distract or to ram into other ships. For our purpose we are going to fly over the Ork Fortress and do a Hero landing right in the middle. The trip doesn't take more than a handful of minutes.

We all jumped and I transformed into War-Drum. With The Mechamorphs fusion into my armor, while Tsunami-Domo merges with my very being. I landed and the World stopped hearing it. I was surrounded by my lesser kin. All the Prime Orks stood in a circle with the Da Boss Emprah standing at equal height with me.

I raised my hand and then thrust it down, Every Prime Ork fell to their Knees. Da Boss Emprah held strong. He growled, I DA BOSS EMPRAH! YOUS BE DIFFERENT LIKE OLD MOSS KLINGEN. When I spoke it was to all Ork Kind.

I AM THE WAR-DRUM, I AM YOUR GOD MADE REAL! FROM MY SPORE YOU WERE MADE FROM MY TEETH YOU WERE CARVED, FROM MY MIND YOU GIVEN THOUGHT! AND FROM MY BLOOD YOU WILL SERVE!

We stared down at each other then, he kneels. I hear not just from the Orks around us from the universe itself. The united thumping of drums. I sent out a call to the Orks to go find a corner of the Galaxy and build themselves up.

DA BOSS EMPRAH GO AND KILL CHAOS ON THIS WORLD! He nods roars, YA HEAR DA WAR-DRUM BOYZ, WE GOTS TO KILL THE CHAOZ BOYS! FOR DA WAAAAAGH! The Prime-Orks rose up roared and all of the orks turn and race towards the chaos base.

Da Boss Emprah turns to me, I KNOWZ YA NOT A ORK OR OLD ORK. SEND YA WHEN YA A REALZ ORK! He then turned and did a full sprint to catch up. Malware made a hum noise, "Kinda expected a fight."

The mechamorphs agreed, "We think they aren't the problem here/We think they aren't the problem here" With that we heard laughter we turned around and saw that woman. Not just her but an army of her. Of various ages and of different members of the Imperium.

"I have to admit that I thought you and them were going to tear each other apart." A woman in her mid forties but probably in her mid hundreds walks forward. A Ordo Xenos Inquisitions symbol on her left breast. "But I guess they are stupid brutes. Now you force one me to kill themselves and that won't do. So kindly lay down and die."

NO was all I said that seemed to put a bit off balance. "It isn't an option." ALRIGHT I think she is more used to her enemies going on about their supposed greatness. She takes a breath then snaps her fingers. As Her Cloned Army began firing at me.

Krork tech was meant to block gauss weapons, so their Lasguns do nothing as they bounce off my Energy Shield. Her Sisters of Battle are firing their bolters which again do nothing but detonate against the shield. When any of them need to reload they throw grenades.

I walked forward till I was close enough for Tsunami-domo to start throwing biotic and psionic powers. While the Mechamorphs were sending EMPs to disable their tech. I snatch up a guardwomen up and snap her back in half. Dropping her I step on another woman, and a group Callidus Assassins start climbing me to stab at my flesh.

Tsunami-Domo created a singularity and rift combo around me and the Assassins were torn to shreds. The leader of the She-Clone Army was calling for someone. I can hear her even over the battle. "I don't care about sending them now, it's our only option now. All of them!"

I backhanded a Sister of Battle, sending her flying. I then heard 10 sonic booms. I looked up to see pods that crashed behind me causing dust and dirt to create a smoke screen. I also heard smoke grenades being popped with flashes following.

I then heard the screeching of the Eversor Assassins. I suddenly felt their claws carved into my armor. They were moving beyond human speed. The mechamorph can track them but can't get a lock on. Till Tsunami-Domo sent a wave of biotic energy which caught all of the women in a stasis field.

The Leader had a look of pure hatred. I walked to her, letting her free. I snatched her up and brought her up to my eye level. Tsunami-Domo began to enter her mind, using a combination of innate Martian telepathy, Klentarr Symbiosis and psionic power. We found out quite a bit.

Her name is Marise Legionosa, of the His Most Holy Inquisition the Ordo Xenos. She is a Perpetual who found out that if she clones herself they would wake up as her. She has multiple armies worth of herself to fill many positions.

With Tsunami-Domo being fueled by me, we reached into her very soul. We ate them, leaving only her. Her ship at the edge of the Star System loses most of their crew. Her army here and at the Imperial base died. Tears of blood fell from her eyes and she screamed in agony. I put her on the ground.

She fell to her knees, I began walking away. Her army that attacked me fell to the ground after the stasis field went out. The Eversor's exploded in a bloody fashion and I made my way to the safe zone.
