Side Chapter: The search for the Elfs a Chance of Hope? or a Journey to Hell?
Alex is watching Rico Exploits from his Ark Mechanicus as Reports kept Flowing in throughout the Sectors...
Refueling, Request for Upgrades, Titan Support, Armament Production, A Permit for Eldars to Scout the Galaxy both within Federal and Bug Controlled Space, finding a Planet for Trayzn 11th to set up his New Collection world, All Sorts that Make a Blueberry Primarch Enjoy the paperwork...
*Knocking*
"Come in?" as Alex Stamped his Signature on a Paper, He noticed a Very Unfamiliar Visitors...
"Oh, It is You? I thought it would be my Golden Banana Boys or the Primaris for some poker night... This is a Rare Occasion..." as He Looked at a Group of Eldars that is his Eldar Honor Guard Accompanied them with Farseer now Appeared before him... as He about to Stamp another paper...
"We would like to Visit what you called Earth..." He stopped midway as he ponders the request...
"What is it that you require to be there?"
"We Believed that we might Find something in your planet based on your myths that you called "Elfs" as your ranger spoken about it... Something that is Similar to us calling for us... I Sense a Vision some of our kind living there..."
"Interesting... I will do the Paperwork, for your Access, Perhaps I might be curious how did they survive?"
'And I wonder? How did they even survive in this Universe? The Age of Strife and the Unification Wars was a real Shite fest... Maybe I might find something and find some discover what is hidden in this universe...'
War Room
An Image of the Earth was Shown....
"Where are the Coordinates?"
"Here, Here Commander... There are Energies that Is Similar to us..." as the Farseer Pointed the Locations that She Sensed.
"Amazon Jungle and Himalayas? Interesting... The Himalayas was part of the Foundation of the Imperial Palace... But the Amazon? I doubt that these places don't have Fairy's or Elves, maybe this universe I might find something useful?"
Let Us Head to the Amazon Jungles first, make sure you don't get seen by the aboriginals....
A Week Later an Entourage of Eldars accompanied Alex to the Sight where the First Psychic Energy was Emitted from....
"This is the First one..." as The Farseer Discovered that it is covered by a rudimentary Eldar symbol that housed Illusion, She Dispelled it, and a Fragments of an Eldar Craftworld was Seen and Several Tombstones littered around it...
Alexs Eyes wide opened as he Realized that Eldars managed to Escape from Warhammer 40k Universe...
"This Fragments is Old...Even Older than the age of this planet ..." as The Farseer and his Rangers touched the Golden fragments that is withered by the test of time...
'Partner, Is this Also One of the Missing Fragments from that universe...'
"Let's Go... let's leave this place be undisturbed, it seems they were buried by some survivors that survive the crash... We might find more clues in the rest of the Location." the Farseer nodded as She Enacted a Stronger illusion wards to leave the Graves in peace... a Yggdrasil Sapling was placed next to the graveyards...
Himalayas:
Once a foundation of the Imperial Palace now untouched by the fires of wars and now constant cold Storm is bashing the group faces
"Cold!" Alex Complained as the Expedition Group is heading towards on Mt. Everest Top
"Well, you shouldn't accompany us as it is our Issues... and wear Tropical outfits" as the Farseer Nonchalantly walked forward leaving Alex Behind...
"Well.. I am more comfortable in wearing Pants, I am Responsible for Taking care for Your People!" As Alex Chased after her...
there is a Cave hidden on the Everest mountaintop held the Psychic energies that permeated the walls as it beckon the Farseer...
"It's here..." As Farseer Unlocked the Symbols that Was used in the Amazon Jungle, The Cave Turned into a Long Corridor with Pulsating flesh, the Banshees Rushed in to Check that there was no danger waiting for them...
Alex Sensed Something is Wrong... And His instincts told him... Even since the Kaurava Conflict, it honed his Danger Senses...
Right now, it's screaming at him that something is more terrifying coming from the Depths of this Corridor that even his Emperor Shard is Even Telling him that was a Bad Idea of letting the Farseer from removing the Symbols....
'Something is Wrong... Partner, Call a Mobilization of the Necrons.... And Send My Coordinates for them to teleport... Get a Monolith Ready to teleport in as well'
'Do it...'
"Farseer Get Ready, Something Coming!" as he Felt Unease...
*Roar*
"Banshees, Retreat Back now!"
The Banshees Rushed Back to the Group but what Chased them... is Purely disgusting...
A Four legged Humanoid Machines Chased them in high speeds... With the Familiar Chainblade and armed with Bolters that Alex never even Introduced to the Federation General Public, But the Torso Made Both Him and Eldar Group Disgusted...
What is Controlling the Machines is a Torso of a Eldar, That only a Drukhari would drool and think of... with Wails coming from their mouth... as they Found New Prey...
"Kill them All!" as the Eldars began to Light up under his Command, and the Corridor was lighted up with Shuriken and Fire Dragons lances...
Some of the Monsters fell under the Barrage of fire, but what should scare any sane creature under heavy casualties, it became more apparent that they are increasing...
The Eldars Managed to Hold out until the Necrons Managed to teleport in... And Started Firing with Gauss weaponry and Exterminating the foes... For Once Caerys is Grateful for the Necrons doing the Extermination
"Alex, You better have a Reason why you sent us here to aid the Eldars..." as the Necron Lord stares Daggers at the Farseer...
"Well, you have a New Collection waiting below?" Alex Pointed the Monsters coming from the Corridors
"I hope this would be a start of my new Collection..." as Trazyn 11th Managed to get his Tesseract Labyrinth and Tossed toward a Intact Monster...
"We Better Head In... I sense my people there!" As The Farseer Demanded to press forward. Longing for what Happened to the Fallen Craftworld.... and She Believes that the Answers Lay beyond the Corridor...
"We don't know what Lies in the Beyond that Corridor... I would Suggest that we wait until more reinforcements would Come... I know that You wished to See What remains of the Elfs or is there any Surviving Eldars... these things were not what you wish to seek... someone or something made those Things!" Yelled Alex as he Pointed the Smouldering Wrecks...
"Had I Not been here... I would have Lost you... and The Eldars that were with me throughout my journey..."
A Week Later
Everest was Under Lockdown
All the Hikers was Turned Away and been Reimbursed for the Cost of Heading up to the Mountaintop...
and the People saw a Partially invisible Floating Monolith and Took picture of it and left... only for their Cameras to be Take and their Memories been wiped as they wake up in a Resort in a Civilian Ramillie Starfort
Within the Depth of the Flesh corridors, A Flash of Green, White and Red erupted here and there...
The Imperial Guardsmen was not allowed to accompany the Expedition due to the fact that there was Memetics properties that Drove them insane and only Those that were strong-willed like the Techpriests as their Bionics prevented them from being corroded..m
The Group marched deeper, they found Several Tablets Scattered on the Floors that depict In Eldar Language:
"Danger"
"Go Away"
"Damnation Awaits you"
"Forget this Place"
"This is Hell"
They Were handed over to Trazyn for his Collection, he wonder what would make the Eldar write in desperation? as he Perused the Tablets were written in a hurry and in blood as well...
the corridor was long and Turned into a Enormous Labyrinth and Drove deep into the heart of Everest... as if they were heading to hell... The Necrons were very helpful as the Monolith Kept Sending Warriors to fight, And the Necrons acted as a living Trap enabler as, most of the traps were seemingly act solely for the purpose of harming Living beings...
They Met Several Monsters that were different...
A Group of Cheap Knockoff of a Banshee Appeared before them, Multiple Skulls of Humanoid Origin meshed together in a Type of Sludge and its arms are just two saber merge with the torso, it gave a Soul Scream that Paused the Living as it charge towards the Expedition, The Banshees that was the first to awake from their stupor, charge against them only to realize that these beings was made to Kill Wraithbones, as their Wraithbones sword met with them... It melted before their very eyes, and they were quick to Retreat back to the Wall of Necron Gauss weapons...
Even a Harlequin tried his luck to meet this unique Foe, as the Moment he stab one with the Harlequin Kiss, the Weapon was unable to do it's main purpose as it felt like you are using a Manual Eggbeater in a thick Swamp, and it doesn't even have any organs to Destroy from within...
And A Group of Abomination of a Creation, that imitate the Space Marine...
What is in its Stomach cavity is a Glass Filled with a Face that is Grown with Cancer, It Charge at The Group with a Bolters In their Hands... Thank to the Upgrades Alex Had made, the Necrons were All Shielded By Default... They Managed to Fry the Imitations...
Upon a Magos Biologis Examination that Accompanied them... It gave Farseer with a Urge to Vomit....
The Cancerous Face is made with Eldar DNA
And One of the Things that Alex Dreaded in the Labyrinth the Most, is a Machine that a Certain Legion that Slaanesh would love
a two Large Four legged walker stood Infront of them... and their arsenal is Consisted of Multiple Eldar Heads stuffed in a Barrel, Alex Knew that the driver is not alive as he sense, that it was possible to Control that Thing...
It Noticed the group and aimed the Barrels of Eldar Faces at them and the Faces all emitted a Psychic Screams that Bleed out From the People Ears and Into Their Minds, As the Attacks passed through the WraithBone Armor, Trazyn Took another Tesseract Labyrinth and Sealed one of the monster and ordering the Necrons to destroy the rest... Saving the Group...
"Thanks Trazyn... I would have gone Deaf at this Point"
"No Problem Alex...Though... I am curious... What with all these Eldar Abominations?" as Trazyn Examined the Newly caught prize...
"Let's us Go... I sense we are about to reach the End..." as the Farseer walked past between the Two...
The Labyrinth already reached to a end...
And as they Exited
they were met in a Different reality....
a Reality Plane was found
Constant Fog Filled Forest constantly blurred the Visors and Visibility was only mere 300 meters, There was Wretched Trees of Untold age that were planted, no leaves that were Found, Glowing Eyes Was Seen through the Fog...
The Necron Monolith Teleported via Chronosphere bringing Green lights as it stave the Fog Away and Started to Build a Necron Outpost as Builder Scarabs Flew out of the Monolith to build Necessary Base defenses and Generators...
They were heading towards the Direction of the Psychic Signal...
3 Eldar Faces merged together in a Torso connected to a Centipede Body appeared before them
(???1):"Oh my, there are visitors? It has Been a Long time..."
(???2):"Why don't we greet them?"
(???3):"Why don't we give the same Hospitality that we Gave to the Last Visitors?"
(Alex):"Who it the Last Visitor?"
As if They Ignore Alex inquiries, they continue on Chatting with themselves...
(???1):"Remember what our Father told us..."
(???2):"It is Hell for Others"
(???3):"And it's a Paradise for us..."
They Began to Scream as The Land Around them Quaked and come pouring Flood of Plant like animals flooded around the group... Flashes of Green and Silver Rang out and killed the Living plants...
(???1):"It seems.."
(???2):"That We..."
(???3):"Underestimated this Visitors..."
As they realized that the Group is Facing is no pushover and Tried to Leave...
They felt their torso Burning as a Flaming Sword is Nested from their Humanoid Stomach...
"Nope, After the Way you done to us by sending this monsters? you deserve a bit of Payback..."
(???1):"Father..."
(???2):"Save us..."
(???3):"Your daughters..." before they complete the Sentence, they were enveloped by the Flames...
A Four Armed Figure watch the burning and slide back into the Shadows...
"Better let my Master know..." as it gave a Childish grin as it left...
A Moment of Silence was needed until they Marched on... toward the Signal...
A Facility was Found.... It looked Man made... Steel and Concrete and Laced with Eldar Writing on the walls...
the Group Inspected it....
They found Several Fragmented Notes....
"The Cake is a Lie...."
"We shouldn't made the deal..."
and a More Intact note was found in a Stasis Crystal...
"If Any of My peers read this Message that managed to survive that labyrinth, Leave this Place... When our Craftworld Crashed On this Planet, We were Assailed by Forces beyond our understanding... We... Made a Pact with a Being beyond our beliefs... He Saved us and Sent us to this place... But now the Saved are turned into slaves... He Twisted us, Molded my brothers and Sisters to his liking... and Even Made my Daughters... turned into A Creature that Called him "Father"... and He Took our Craftworld Infinity Circuit into this facility and Screams of our Ancestors heard from this Facility, many attempts from the Eldars that were skeptical about the Savior invaded the Facility they turned into monstrosities, Whatever your reasons to come here... don't trust the Doctor, he is no savior, I will be entering this facility with what's left of the Eldars to destroy the Infinity Circuit now currently in the depts of this place... I want this Madness to end..." the Message ended with a dried blood stain
"Let's Head inside, No use of Waiting" as Alex Handed the Letter to Trazyn....
*Creak*
The dilapidated Automated door Opened
They were greeted by a A Mixed formed of Mechanical and Biological Constructs....
[Intruders!]
as a Two legged construct that housed a Eldar body... rushed off
*Klaxons* the Rusted Klaxon horns Blare out making the facility come to life..
"Let's Raise Hell!" As Alex Held his Trusty Hellgun and Started to Destroy everything that he sees Along with the rest, Vats Containing Eldar in embalming liquid... Monsters that He Already knew coming En masse toward the Them...
the Eldars Participated in the Destruction as The More Of this "Things" That held their Brethren corpses is only one step anger away to joining a Certain Axe God to their cause
Trazyn 11th casually took a Couple more For his collection....
They found Notes in Both Eldar and Gothic in a Science Wing of this Facility on how to Produce these abominations, it was incinerated and the dust was Shot with a Gauss Gun
As they cleared out the Facility, They Found a Entrance that Leads to the Bottom of the facility, the farseer rushed down with Alex as the Necron commence Extermination Protocols on the Facility ...
They were Met with a Eldar in Plague Doctor Apparel.. With a Pale Four Armed Giant Standing beside him
(???): Hmm...It would seem that you are a Unruly Guests, Tell me Barbarians, Why Would you attack my humble abode? (Why do I imagine Markiplier speaking?)
(Alex): "What is Your name?"
(???): "Me? Hmph, I would Grace you with My Vessel Name, you Barbarians, Name's Taldarrian Rean and I am A Master of this Place... "
(Alex): "I detected that being Infront of us doesn't have a Soul..."
(Caerys): "You Possessed Him!?"
(Rean): "Please, He Handed his body on a Silver Platter, Begging me to Save his Kind from the Void that Consumed his Galaxy... What a Ungrateful Wretch as I Helped his People Ascended beyond their normal bodies and He still defy me!" As the Being Raged as the Surroundings distorted by reality
(Alex): "You mean those things outside..."
(Rean): "Yes... those people willing to give themselves to the Ascension..."
(Alex): "Do you belong to the Dark Four?" Alex distracted the figure before him, alerted his Forces to come down to the Basement
(Rean): "Those Insignificant Four? I serve a Higher being now and He already given me the Powers of a God...."
(Rean): "Now... with Fresh Materials Infront of me... You will have to do.." He Disappear From the Group sight and Was About to Grabbed The Farseer from behind...
*Clang*
A Flaming Sword blocked his Hand
(Alex): "Don't you dare Touch my Soldiers!"
(Rean): "Hmph... you just prolonged the inevitable.."" as he Simply Patted the Burnt hand to his Doctor robes as if nothing has happened to him...
Alex notice that his Perks were not Acting up against this foe...
"Now Go.. Playtime" as The Eldar left deeper into the Shadows as ordered his Pale Giant to attack them... some of the Banshees Relished forward and the Giant with Great Speed And Dexterity he avoided all the slashes and Each punch he caved the WraithBone Armor with ease, causing some of the Banshee to Perished immediately...
Sensing that something was wrong, he dodge and several Gauss Weapons and Eldar Shuriken hit the place where he stood...
(???): "More toys to play?" the Giant Gleefully accepted the Newcomers and his face was met by Gauss and Eldar Dragonfire lances... and It Regenerated
As the Caerys and Alex Fought against the Beast... Until Trazyn Killed the Beast using his "Empathic Obliterator" Killing it as the Beast fell into several Parts...
"A Colony that make up the beast and not get obliterated, interesting..." another Tesseract Labyrinth was tossed on the corpse...
they rushed towards a Enormous room in it a Eldar Infinity Circuit, once was a way to prevent the Eldars souls being sucked by slaneesh is now a Twisted form of itself, It was Filled With Blackish Miasma and wailing of the occupants ... the doctor stood on the Walkways leading towards it... waiting for them....
"Now, You will see my Ascension to godhood!" as the forces tried to stop him, He Fell into the Infinity Circuit.... and began Absorbing the Souls and the Miasma in there.... and the Facility is beginning to collapse
"Everyone Get out... this is bad, Trazyn tell Necron use Total Recall and Teleport back to the Monolith now! and we will meet you there!"
the Necron obeyed and began teleporting away, The Eldar and Alex Fled for their lives as rubble began to fall all around them... and Managed to escape from the facility...
"Hahahah, Now See me, you puny Mortals, This is what a God Feel like, behold the return of the Gods!" as what was once Taldarrian Rean, now turned into a Enormous Hooded entity with a Halo rose from the ruins....
"But First thing to do, A God need his Angels, of course" with a Wave of his Hand Several Unused Warlock Titans rose around him... their Faces molded to be more human like and their bodies twisted giving them a Crimson wings of Miasma...
The Possessed walkers sang a Choir that dedicated to the now Godlike entity, fueling his Vanity as he begins to chase them...
'Partner Send in that "Project" we going to need it...'
'This would be a Good time for a Field test.'
As they About to reach the Vicinity of the Necron Base....
"You're running? Would be sad to see if you can't escape!" with a Swipe of his hands the exist now, Closed preventing any reinforcements from entering...
And the possessed Eldar Warlock Titans now grew in number as they armed with dilapidated Eldar weapons.... and the Fog filled Forest came to life as Creatures swarmed and Bolted toward the Necron camp
Alex and the Eldar joined the Necrons Defenses against these corrupted Titans and the unending swarm...
Despite the Necron Sentry Pylons now Focused on the culling the Possessed Titan they grew more and more...
Five Spheres of Electrical Discharge Appear and left behind 5 Imperator Titans... But they were different... they carried Gauss weapons and it's body fully made from Necrodermis, by the joint corporation of the Necrons and Techpriests of Federation of Mars, they created a Truly unbeatable Machine of war...
Instead of the Deafening horns that usually symbolizes their entrance to the Battlefield, they stood in silence... And Aimed at the Target that Alex Pointed out.. Large Rays of Gauss Beams cut a Swathes of The Possessed and the Forest as well eliminating them from existence....
the Creature that Acted like a God Howled in rage as his Angels were destroyed in his very eyes... With Great Speed he Rushed toward the Titans, Destroying the first one with his actions as it collapse from the speed of the force.., Believing he destroyed one and as he turned to the rest...
*Boom*
A Gauss Beam hit directly on the back of his head... and the fallen Titan stood up the Necrodermis armor is rebuilding quickly as it let out another Green Beam.... Scorching the False God...
After Several Barrages he became smaller and Smaller, Till a Last Blast from the a Necron Titan... he returned to the Taldarrian Rean, Filled with injuries and only left with a Torso...
"Why? I was supposed to be a God?" as Taldarrian Coughed Black Blood, Heaving as he desperately tried to get oxygen to his phantom waist...
"You just had the Arrogance to take what is mine, Taldarrian... and You Picked a Wrong fight against a Race that Kills Gods for a Living..."
Alex Drove his sword into Taldarrian skull...
Taldarrian Smiled at least... in his Last moments he lived, was a Skull Faced Creature holding a Cube as he was swallowed in darkness...
In the Certain location in California....
A Group of Hooded Figures surrounded a Table, Discussing the Implications of the Current event....
(???): "Did you receive the news? Taldarrian is Killed... the Explosion in Everest already shown that he is dead and the M.A.Rs forces now linger where he lives"
(???): "Really that Incompetent Bastard really let us down..."
(???): "We Must Present this universe to the First or we would be devoured to extinction"
(???): "But how? Alexander Solair has been a detrimental to our cause..."
(???): "His forces Can't be bribed, Can't be a target for assassination as most of the Underground community know his MO very well, Taking his Family hostage would be the Last thing of incurring his wrath as One pirate did that, Had his Entire family and his Associates family tossed into the Sun and Fed that pirate his Parents corpses and join his family to the sun..."
(???): "Or How about instead of making plots behind my back, how about you Surrender or Die?"
As they Turned to look at the person who said that...
(???): Well well, if it isn't Alexander Solair what brings you here?
(Alex): "Nothing really, Just wanted to check on a Few Rats hiding in this part of the world... Seems like your associate at Everest really hates your Guts to the Bone" as Several Papers showing names of key figures of the Federation and High Figures of society now Strewn across the table ..
(???): "Shit, we shouldn't trust that Guy!"
(???): "What do really want to be here Alex?"
(Alex): "A First Row seat of your execution"
Several Shuriken entered the legs of the hooded individuals...
(???): "You can't do this, we are the Foundation of the Federation!"
(Alex): "And it need a Proper Ending, You attempted to sold this universe to that Guy? you deserve all the Hate you can get..."
(???): "How would you explain to the public of our disappearance?"
(Alex): "Simple, You go on a Submarine Cruise to the Titanic and Died under the Faulty construction of the sub, despite several efforts of the navy, you were already presume dead from the pressure, and I already found a Scrape Goat company willing to go bankrupt for my favour... And that is what Fednet would say "
(???): "You can't be Serious, The Public would never believe you!"
(Alex): "Really? or would they trust a Bastards like you, that will hand this universe to a Silver platter, Stop hiding behind the Public, when you wholeheartedly agree to join that Egomaniac at Everest to turn the Human population into Machines? I know they are coming and I rather stand and Fight... than to be a Slave for all eternity... do you Surrender or Die? last chance?"
(???): "Go to Hell Interloper!"
(Alex): "I take that as a No, Do it."
Several Silent Shot was made in the Mansion in California...
Calidus Assassin's Copied the dead Men and Told the Public that they were going to see the Titanic as one of them was a Well known Sub operator and it was his birthday... and the sub malfunction at a certain height taking the lives of these people, M.A.Rs And The Federation Navy search the Sub with no avail, The Calidus Assassin were managed to Teleported from the sub, moment before it turned into mush...
Good job, You either have a choice: to enter into stasis until I require your services or you can mingle with the Local population as you deserve the life you have taken from you... Those who do Leave, I will not hunt you down or force you to make decisions that would endangered your lives bear in mind there always a Place to return to...
Some join the Stasis waiting for further orders and Those that wished to mingle with the Population of Mars, Some Got Married with the Local Guardsman... As the Husbands unknowingly married to the Deadliest Woman alive on the Battlefield and in bed... (Guardsman × Callidus assassin?)

Sleepy day For me...
Funny, a Search for the Elves with the Eldar to Uncover a Plot?
There is more Than just the shadows.... Eldritch horrors coming soon?
