Thrum Thrum Thrum*
Swish
The Norn Queen can be seen running within the Forest at incredible speed, zooming past the giant trees and leaping over fallen trees.
"Ahhhhh!! What is that?! This is definitely not Terra!"
You may wonder what is going on for Anna to order the Norn Queen to run? From what exactly? Well let's rewind Time by a few minutes.
-A few minutes ago-
"Ah so much Biomass! This Forest alone can make me an army! I just have yet to find any signs of live besides the Trees, Moss and Vines."
Radle*
The Norn Queens neck snapped to the sound. Looking towards the origin of the sound while slowly approaching.
"My first hunt! I cant believe it, oh my oh my. OK calm, deep breaths-wait I can't breathe I'm a Hive Mind!" Indeed she is, albeit a Hive Mind with just one organism. But Anna knows she has nothing to worry about. All she needs is to make a nest and start the Norn Queens reproduction and she will soon have the very same Army that made the 40k verse shit themselves.
As the Norn Queen closed in and looks through the bush. But Anna's Mind just shut down from what she saw.
"Huh- What! No, what is that! That's a Rat the size of a T-34! Norn Queen retreat!"
The Norn Queen obeyed and slowly backed away but as Fate has it, she wants to prank Anna and giver her a nonexistent heart attack. What happened? The Queen stepped on a branch that unusually made a very loud noise. To loud for a branch. Hell it's wet not dry!
Snap*
"RAAA!!"
"RUN!!"
-Back to present-
Yup, her Norn Queen is being chased by a Tank sized Rat as its collides with Trees making them fall over.
"Why why why why why! Why now! Just as I began my new life! And my Norn Queen is young too! Just the size of a Golf Cart!" Anna is frantically screaming within the Hive Mind.
"Wait! I'm a Tyranid! I don't fear-no I shouldn't feel fear! Yes! I am the Hive Mind, I can win against this oversized Rodent!"
She then Ordered the Norn Queen to Halt and wait for the Rat to catch up.
"RAAAAA!!!"
As it neard Anna couldn't help but feel her nonexistent chest tighten.
"Jump!"
The Norn Queen jumped just as the Rat came in on it and collided with the Tree behind it.
Bamm!*
"Now's the chance use your appendages and stab this Rat!"
The Norn Queen jumped at the Rat as it was orienting itself. The Queen is aiming at the back of the skull but as it closed in the Rat snapped back it's head looking right at the claws nearing its eyes.
Shiicht splash*
The Claws went right inside the eye sockets as it breached the skull and went inside the Brain. The Rat fell on the ground as blood dripped out of the no eye sockets.
"Uhh...that worked. Wait, it worked!! Hahaha! I did it my first hunt! My first kill and soon more Tyranids!"
The Norn Queen dragged the Rat to the cave and began eating it.
"Alright, this cave will do for now. I need enough to make a Hive Ship. Umm how much Biomass do I need?"
Anna is thinking deeply not noticing that her Norn Queen already began to create new Tyranids. She only did when the newly born Tyranids Mind got connected to her, the Hive Mind.
"Hmm-Uhh! What's this. Oh! More Tyranids!
What type, let's see."
She then looks through the Norn Queens eyes and sees Rippers, tiny sized Tyranids. The smallest of the Grand scheme of things but also the most dangerous when in massive hordes.
"Great! That Rat was a perfect genetic template for my Rippers. Teeth to gnaw at everything? Check. Claws to rip everything? Check. I can now start to make more. The Rippers will cleanse and eat everything in their path! I can even order the Norn Queen to evolve some to higher tier Tyranids."
Anna couldn't be happier. The Norn Queens decision was spot on. Shed rather have an Army of Rippers than an army of Gaunts.
The Rippers are the cleaning crew per say. They are the ones to strip a planet of its Biomass and bring them to the Hive Ship while dying themselves to to fuel the creation of new Tyranids. They are completely Mindless so without a connection to a high Tyranid Bioform they die on the spot, sometimes they just hide underground and use the Biomass they acquired to evolve to a higher Tyranid Bioform.
"Hehehe~ Soon this world will know my name the Demon Lord of uhhh, whatever! Soon enough I will have Hero Parties coming after me declaring their mission to kill me only to realize the horror of the Tyranids!
Anna completely convinced herself to be in a Fantasy World, making up scenarios of beating Hero Parties, taking down Kingdoms and making entire races go extinct. She herself does not realize that she changed. But let's not let her know.
"OK where was I? Ah yes, the Rippers! Hmmm it'll be boring to mow down this entire Forest and feels like cheating. I want to fight more! These Rats are definitely not the only beings here. And if Rats are that big, how big will any other creatures be? Ah my Norn Queens mouth is watering I let my thoughts to her."
Anna ordered the Ripper to scatter and find more of these Rats. They will definitely be more. There's always more Rats wherever you find a Rat. Maybe she will get a great find and be able to make a Gaunt or a Warrior.
Her thoughts got transferred to the Norn Queen making its mouth water again.
