Chapter 1: Transformation

Greetings readers! In this crossover story, the Chaos Gods and the Great Horned Rat were successfully defeated by a miraculous alliance between the Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and the Lizardmen. The evil gods were cast out from the Warhammer Fantasy universe. The Horned rat in particular, received damage to its mind and is floating around in calmer parts of the warp. He was floating there until a little girl triggered in the Worm dimension. Warning! In later chapters, there will be scenes of devouring people, dark rituals, and other grimdark material.

Horned Rat's POV

The blasted man things, elf-things, dwarf-things, and other nasty things defeated Chaos! Gah, feeling pain suffering from nasty ritual. All my Skaven, my children gone, removed from Old World. They have failed failed their mission. Warp is calm here. No Chaos gods anywhere. I cannot see them. My mind hurts! All essence from my Vermin Lords have been returned to me. Been floating around the Warp for so long. What is that? Some sort of screaming, sounds like a little man-thing. Where is it?

There it is on some world similar to Old World yes yes. Go to that world. What are that floating weird thing? I feel powers from them. Stay out of sight from weird things. There is the call from that man-thing down there. My powers had been weakened from nasty ritual. Plan is to seek host! Use man thing as host!

No one's POV

Thus, the weakened Horned Rat floating in the warp, the Verminous God of the Skaven, was drawn to Earth Bet by the trigger event of Taylor Hebert. The Horned Rats mind was quickly deteriorating from the effects of the magical ritual used by the alliance of races of the Warhammer Fantasy world to rid the chaotic deities from their world. As such, by the time the Horned Rat entered the mindscape of Taylor Hebert, most of his personality was gone but his most of his powers, knowledge, and dark instinct remained.

Taylor's POV

Why? Why do they do this?! I screamed in my mind over and over again while I was trapped in my locker. It has been several hours since Emma Barnes pushed me in her. I thought the bullying could not get worse but it has. This would probably be the last act they do as I have a good chance of dying from the swarms of bugs in here and from infection I would surely get from the rotting tampons. The teachers of Winslow High School wouldn't help me with this bullying problem. I and my father have been drifting apart, barely talking to each other. Ahhh, the pain! So many bugs biting and scratching at me! I just want this to be over already. But I did not want to die yet. I wanted to stay alive, to see Dad again.

Wait! What is this?! My head! In my mind, I am being bombarded with visions of dark things. What I see are visions of a city surrounded by a foul bog, made up of ruins of medieval style buildings; visions of large rat-like beings standing on two legs, and visions of tides of armored ratmen slaughtering those who oppose them. Their enemies were medieval humans, dwarves, elves, and race of strange lizardmen led by powerful, magical giant toads called Slann. I see the different kinds of ratmen. No, they are called Skaven! I see black furred, vicious, warriors; grey furred seers; green clad, diseased, fanatical monks; those who were both engineers and sorcerers; grotesque, bloated, female breeders; innumerable and miserable slaves; and horrific abominations of nature made by cruel animal trainers.

I saw the deity the Skaven revere as well as fear. A great horned rat god of rot and decay. A god who was selfish but still sought to ascend his children, to make sure they conquered the world. The Skaven of the Under Empire plotted and schemed until they unleashed their plans upon the surface world. At times the Skaven would either succeed or fail. In the end however, the Skaven were rid from that world along with the other troublesome races there. The barbarian northmen and the mutant beastmen who worshipped the Chaos Gods were gone, the vampires had finally gone extinct, the orcs however remained though they were quite diminished in number. That blasted alliances of the races of Order miraculously prevailed over the forces of Chaos by performing a powerful ritual that sundered the hold of the warp over that world. The Dark Gods were flung away, thrown about the warp.

The next thing I saw from my perspective was the myriad colors and shapes of the warp. I was floating around the warp and it was calm around me. Next, I heard a scream and I looked, trying to find where it was. I glanced out of the warp and I saw the world down below … is that Earth Bet? The vision continued, showing what looked like a gigantic creature of crystal shards and flesh floating around a dead world but projecting a golden light moving around on the world below. Then, the vision showed that I was plummeting into the world very fast and then it was all blank. My mind blanked out in that moment.

No one's POV

As Taylor became unconscious, her body began to change from the power and dark magic of the rat god now dwelling within her. A long, pink, scaled tail grew from her tailbone while fur as black as the abyss sprouted across her body. Her muscular system and skeletal system shifted to that of a skaven but far stronger, with her fingers growing small sharp claws. Her feminine figure matured and was now curvier. She now sported three pairs of B-Cup breasts. Lastly, four short curved horns grew from her head and her eyes were now beady and red. Her body was healed from the wounds inflicted upon it and the mass of insects were skittering away from her. The power and knowledge of the Great Horned Rat residing in Taylor Hebert provided her with many skills and abilities. There were the stealth abilities of the assassin rats of Clan Eshin, the plague magic of the fanatical Clan Pestilens, the knowledge of science and sorcery of the warlock-engineers of Clan Skryre, and the training and surgical skills of Clan Moulder.

Then Taylor awoke, her red eyes opened. The door of her locker was pushed open through the application of her new found strength. Then the Skaven girl fell out of the locker, wearing bloody and torn up rags of clothing. She landed on all four limbs, her red eyes looking about her surroundings like that of an animal. Her mind was not fully awake and it was acting on Skaven instincts. Right now, she was feeling very hungry from the changes done to her body. Thus, she needed to find a lot of food to satisfy this dark hunger. There were some cockroaches on the floor running away from her. She quickly pounced upon them and devoured them but it did not fully satisfy her hunger. She rose up on two legs and sniffed the air with her enhanced sense of smell. Scents of warmblooded creatures abounded outside the place she was in. Taylor scampered away from her locker and exited Winslow High School through the front door in the darkness of the cold night.

The female Skaven moved stealthily in the shadows using the Shadow's Companion spell, avoiding the lighted areas of Brockton Bay. When shadows were not enough to hide her, she descended into the large storm drains of the city. There were still some humans walking about the city at night and her Skaven instincts warned Taylor to avoid attacking them for now. It was in a dark alley somewhere in the docks where she found suitable prey. In the dirty alley were three Merchant thugs wearing typical dirty apparel, armed with knives and one pistol, waiting to pounce upon any passersby. Taylor smelled them from underneath a manhole cover around the corner of an old abandoned building. The smell was appetizing to her though there were traces of drugs lingering on the thugs, her stomach would able to handle it. Besides human drugs are hardly as strong as warpstone snuff.

The horned rat girl fully opened the manhole and crawled out of the sewer. When she was next to the wall of the old building, she applied the "Stickypaws" spell on herself. This enabled her crawl up the wall of the building and scamper to where the thugs were hiding. She was looking upon them while crouched up on a wall, hidden in the darkness. She carefully picked her targets in her instinct driven state, there were three people with knives but only one with a handgun. After a few seconds of choosing an appropriate spell to use, she cast the Wrack spell on the pistol wielding Merchant. The targeted Merchant dropped to the ground in a jolt of searing pain. His companions looked upon him in alarm. While they were distracted, Taylor pounced upon them with her claws ready to slice flesh.

The two Merchants were pushed to the ground from the Skaven girl landing on them. They tried to push themselves back up but then their necks were suddenly twisted. Taylor looked at the last Merchant thug who was still on the ground spasming from the pain. The pain wracked Merchant thug laying on the ground was trying to look at his comrades and their attacker. The thing standing above him looked feminine but monstrous with its four short horns, beady red eyes, and its long thin tail. He tried to get up and reach for his gun when strong arms and hands snapped his neck. The souls of all of the slain Merchants were devoured by the spirit of the great Horned Rat now residing in Taylor Hebert. Taylor looked up and sniffed the air making sure she was alone. After she did that, she quickly dragged all of her victims into the storm drain and closed the manhole cover.

In the darkness of the storm drain, the female Skaven divested the thugs of their clothes and weapons. After she did that, she started to eagerly feast upon human flesh. First, she used her claws to cut open the abdominal area of each of the Merchant corpses. She quickly removed the intestines from the corpses. When that was done, she gnawed the corpses with her large rat incisors. Muscles, brains, bone marrow, cleaned intestines, and delicious organs she devoured in haste like a wild animal. After the corpses were picked clean of anything edible. She gathered the fractured bones and the weapons of the thugs, wrapping them all up in clothes then scampering away through the storm drain looking for somewhere to rest.

Some time later a satisfied Taylor Hebert was sleeping in a dry section of the storm drain. She was laying on her side upon the clothes strewn about on the floor of that side section of the storm drain, while human bones were scattered around her. The weapons were placed within arms reach of her, ready to be used when needed. In her mind, the godly power within her was feeling around for souls in the city above that she could eat, avoid, or manipulate.

It was at 8:00 AM when Taylor awoke from her slumber. The horned female black Skaven opened her eyes and lifted herself unto her two hind limbs. As she observed her surroundings, she grew confused and then she panicked when she saw the broken human bones scattered around her. She screeched out loud in rat noises then she stopped in shock and looked down at herself. She saw that she was furry, has a tail, is much curvier than normal, and that she appears to be some sort of horned rat person. That area of the storm drain now echoed with panicked screeching as Taylor was freaking out over her new appearance.
