Thum Bum, Thum Bum, Thum Bum
Critter*
The loud stomping can be heard as a horde of Tyranids march across the wasteland that used to be the Forest.
Thum Bum, Thum Bum
A Human sized Cockroach came out of a small opening in the ground.
Splat*
Only to be squashed by a Carnifex marching along.
Anna has reduced the entire Forest to waste, no living creature nor any single cell organism exist anymore. Except the Tyranids of course.
Anna herself is in a bad mood, why is it?
Because she had to delay the creation of Flying Tyranids. She had the hope that once she had them she'd explore the new world she's in but no, unexpectedly her Rippers ran into a wall as they razed the Forest down.
What was it? A Giant wall made out of crystals. She followed the wall and found out that even the sky if made out of the same crystals. Illuminating the once Forest now Wasteland.
So she realized, she's in a subterranean Area. Essentially Underground. Because of that stark realization she's not been happy.
Her Raveners can't break through and borrow in, her Carnifex cant break it with sheer force. And her Norn Queen, her strongest can't crack those damm rocks!
So Anna came up with an idea, she ordered every Tyranid to gather Biomass. Not to create new Tyranids, but to make a Hive Ship. She even had to destroy the Reclamation Pools and the Foundation for the Capillary Tower to acquire Biomass.
Some Rippers and Gaunts also had to be sacrificed.
Right now the Hive Ship is almost finished, she only had enough Biomass to make a Light Cruiser but that's all she needs.
"Just when I was about to explore the World Fate had to throw a wrench at my face." Anna grumbled as she let out a sigh. She is impatient one might say but you can't blame her for wanting to see what her new life has in store for her. Will she find Humans? Elfs? Dwarfs? Or maybe some Demi-Humans and Demonkin?
She doesn't know but once she has her Hive Ship ready she will.
Without her realizing she spent hours in her mental space and when she snapped out she saw her Hive Ship ready.
"Yeah! Let's go! Ahem, alright everyone get inside the ship and no pushing."
The Norn Queen relayed her orders and soon enough the Tyranids entered the Ship in a neatly order.
"Hmhm! Good! Now for- Wait! Hive Ships are also alive. Let me see."
Anna remembered that Tyranid Bio-Ships are also living beings to she tried to see if she has a synaptic connection to it.
And who would have thought she has!
"Ohhh~ this baby is powerful. My most powerful Tyranid yet. Can't believe there's more bigger and meaner to be made. Ahh~ I can't wait to have a entire Hive Fleet!!"
Anna giggled like an Otaku getting her favorite manga, like a boy band fan squirming to see their appearance. If she had a body she'd be moving in her bed side to side and hugging herself as she giggled like a maniac that'll make her parents question their life choices.
"Hehehe~ I can't wait, soon. Soon I will make the Galaxy fear me!"
Anna orderd the Hive Ship to ascend.
Thruuuuuu*
Booom*
A powerful gust blew the sands of the Wasteland as the Bio-Ship rose from the ground. It then positioned itself slightly upwards as it then fired its Biologically Made Plasma Canons.
TRUUUUMMMM SHIIINNN BOOOOOOOM
The Plasma shot blew the entire Crystal Ceiling open as bits and chunks fell on the Wasteland and on the Ship only to bounce off harmlessly.
"Hahaha hell yeah!! Take that you Crystal Prison you can't imprison me!"
Anna cheered as she saw the Explosion.
Before her reincarnation she was an avid lover of Explosions. She loved them so much she joined the army and became a pilot at a record speed that made the Aviation Branch of the Military astonished.
The Reason? To drop Bombs and watch them explode! And indeed she did. During the Mid-East War she was deployed to Antioch to defend the City and later to Jerusalem.
Those were the best days of her life. And seeing the Explosion before her would bring tears to her eyes if she had any.
"Ohh how much I missed you." Anna sniffed as she watched the Explosion disappear into smoke.
Then she saw light shine through the gapping hole that came from the Explosion.
Anna orderd the Ship to fly through and once it did she saw the land beyond.
"Ah ahaha hahahahaha! I did it, I DID IT HAHAHAHAHA!!" Anna screamed out in joy as she saw the land before her.
It was a Dense Forest filled with beautiful sceneries. She could even see beyond it and saw beautiful hills, grasslands, dunes and more.
"This Hive Ship is the new Comand Post, Norn Queen you are to remain here at all times unless I say otherwise! And the rest shall be deployed to find live creatures to 'collect'."
"Raaa!"
The Norn Queen compiled and send out a small detachment of Rippers and Gauns lead by a Warrior Prime.
Indeed Anna had enough Biomass from the previous Forest to make a Warrior Prime. She herself is proud of herself.
Huuuummm*
The Hive Ship let out a Humm as if to speak to her. Luckily as the Hive Mind she understands it.
"Hmmm, Hive Ships are indeed advanced. To have limited intelligence like this is impressive. Tho, what is said could be described as "Hunger". Is seems the Ships need energy. Haa~ time to raze another Forest I guess."
Completely forgetting that Hive Ships are Biological and need nutrients. Well that explains why Tyranids clean a entire Planet of its Biomass and Nutrients. Biomass to make more Tyranids and Nutrients to hasten the creation of new Tyranids and fuel the Bio-Ships.
Now that she thinks of it. It makes complete sense. "Wait, if Hive Ships require nutrients doesn't it mean I have to always go to get more and eventually have to raze the entire planet?" Anna felt sad a bit. She didn't want to raze her new home down too fast. First explore and then she'd to that.
Besides there's an entire Universe to see. She can delay this Planets Doom for a few decades. No rush.
While Anna convinces herself not to rush her Rippers, Gaunts and Warrior Prime landed safely as the Bio-Ship rose again into the air.
"Ah completely forgot to make Tyrannocytes. Well I'll make them later."
Tyrannocytes, the Drop Ship equivalent of the Tyranids. They drop from Orbit from Hive Ships carrying Tyranids onto Planets. Also come with five tentacles that rip down anything before them once they land to create a safe area to deploy the Tyranids.
The Warrior Prime orderd the Rippers to scatter and search for Living Beings as the Gaunts stay behind and follow it.
As the number of Tyranids increases to does the Hive Minds mental power. So Anna can no longer control or look through the lower level Tyranids eyes or else their brains will liquidate.
So she relies on Higher Tier Tyranids to order the lower ones. She uses the big boys to order the little boys. Frustrating but that's how it works. Anna needs High Tier Tyranids to order the lower ones through the Hive Mind
So if a High level Tyranid dies the lower ones lose the connection to the Hive Mind and go berserk on anything even themselves. Unless connected to a new High level Tyranid.
What Anna realized is that unlike the Hive Mind from Warhammer 40k who's the combined Will of all Tyranids essentially making it that all Tyranids are the Hive Mind, that she's her own Independent Will. She Anna, her Will, Soul is not the Combined Will of the Tyranids. It's that she is the Will of Tyranids. She's a soul with multiple bodies. Not bodies will a single mind. Complicated and hard to explain but that's how it is.
Luckily she has the power to control all Tyranids at the same time. Its all natural to her.
So the Tyranids begin to explore the new environment and Anna dwells in her mind imagining her Fantastic Tyranic Adventure.
