well ya do have scouts if i remember right from your war factory why not add your scanners to it so it can scan creatures of interest so ya can get new tech or scan ruins and what not
For one, the smallest scout unit that's currently in the GDI unit lists (TW3) is the CC-6 Pitbull which is basically a souped up Rocket-Hog (Halo) and that thing is huge so right now I'm trying to think of a unit that doesn't exceed 1 meter and can move fast, like an ATV but automated.
With that, it's cheap, fast and can scan but for that, it sacrifices armor and weapons as it is purely for scouting missions.
Aside from that, I'm thinking of a VTOL drone with the same capabilities.

A month have passed since then and a lot of things happened, units created, units lost to action, unit recreated from other franchise and the same goes for structures. Most of the units from GDI's Arsenal from the 3rd Tiberium War has mostly been restored to its original function albeit there may have been a drop in terms of performance or quality as they are 'recreations' of the original units. Buildings on the other hand didn't lost that much except for the space command uplink and ion cannon control as there are no space assets. At least not yet.
Some units and or buildings have lost their total function like the armory which in the game serves as infantry upgrade structure, now it has turned into a generic armory which does nothing but hold excess weapons and armor, weapons and armor from other franchise such as Killzone, Halo, Call of Duty, Battlefield and many others.
An example of the Commander's recreated units were the Falcons and Sparrowhawks from Halo franchise, the Doragon from BF2142, the walking tank from CoD AW, Drones from Killzone and others.
Though the Commander's proudest work as of today would be the Gehenna, a custom designed aircraft carrier based on the GDI's Aircraft Carrier, while both ship class are similar in both design and function, the Type-02 is far larger than its older sibling. Gone was the stern-placed bridge as it was instead placed into the midsection of the ship's upper or main deck, the VTOL launch and land pads were separated as four were placed behind the rear twin 4-tube missile VLS whilst the 2 other pads were placed in front of the frontal twin 4-tube missile VLS which was placed just in front of the bridge section, while it is not a complete lower flight deck, there is a slit, 5 meters in height which also spans the width of the ship sans armor and hull, that contains the EmALS or Electromagnetic Aircraft Launching System, or easily known as 'the catapult' which launches fixed wing VTOL aircrafts.
The Commander, seeing no significant fast-moving hostile air presence, decides to throw fixed-wing non-VTOL aircrafts away in favor of VTOL aircrafts for the reason, and I quote, 'Rule of Cool, also because I can have it land anywhere I want to.'. Infantry units were also discarded as there was no need to and the Commander could always hitch a ride to APCs, Tanks, Aircrafts and if push comes to shove, Fenrir. Said machine-wolf however was groaning after the Commander used her as transport during a certain encounter with a certain black, many hairy legged bug.
For the ship's weapons, the single barrel high-velocity guns were removed and in their place were 150mm high-velocity naval guns, installed in either front or rear of both VLS', as well as the newly installed 35mm CIWS turrets, installed at where the naval guns once was located, to compliment the aforementioned VLS which essentially turns the Gehenna-class aircraft carriers as pocket battleships, as a result, they're bigger than the Yamato-class and Nimitz-class of warships back on the Commander's Earth.
The nuclear fusion-powered aircraft carrier also has increased aircraft complements as well as a new stern hatch for launching of the Riptide amphibious vehicles for coast-to-shore operations thereby giving the new aircraft carrier a whole new angle of attack and tactical edge against enemy vessels that may chose to go knife-fighting range against the Gehenna.
Of course, whilst the recreation of units and structures were happening, other things happened as well such as finding out that the 'land' the Commander is in is actually a sub-continent, smaller than Australia for sure but it is larger than an island. With this discovery also comes the fact that there is no civilization aside from the now-extinct starship troopers bugs that the Commander literally nuked because plasma bugs and flying cockroach-like bugs started appearing, no sirree he didn't nuke them because he got frightened by the roach-like bugs.
++ POV just after discovering the cockroach-like bug
It's big, black, has many hairy legs, two antennae and is shaped like a certain apocalypse-surviving insect.
The Commander slowly and silently took a step backwards whilst drawing grenades and his guns, he pressed the 'arm' button for the grenades whilst hoping not to get the attention of the accursed roach. Unfortunately, the Commander's luck wasn't with him as he stopped on a tree-branch.
*Crack*
With said noise heard by the big, black, many hairy legged being, it turned around only to spot a human and a wolf, said human however is bathing on sweat despite being covered by armor.
As the Commander registers the fact that the bug saw him, his mindscape went on and started a debate. To kill or to Run like a bitch.
Sadly for the Commander, the former won and he started chucking grenades and bullets at said accursed being while inside his armor, he screams like a bitch.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Yup he screamed like a girl.
"I DID NO SUCH THING! AH WAIT DON'T COME ANY CLOSE-- AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"
That was the last time someone, something heard of the Commander. It was his punishment for breaking the 4th wall.
++ POV END
Although there were no civilization on the sub-continent, except for the bugs, there signs of civilization, unfortunately they were quite old, wooden sailing ships as if they came out of a fantasy or from the movie, Pirates of the ****, were discovered. Sadly there were no salvageable maps as said ships were infested with bugs, zombies, spiders and or creepers.
New monsters were discovered as well during this busy month. Pre-Bug Extinction monsters were few but varied, an example of these were class-based skeleton soldiers such as Skeleton Spearmen, Skeleton Knights and even Skeleton Mages. Yes, magic does exist and when the Commander found out, he was scared, like a lot because magic is a big unknown to him, he doesn't know how to counter said magic aside from slapping thick titanium and steel armors as well as killing them as fast as he can before they cast their magics. So far it worked well.
Post-Bug Extinction monsters were many, once was myths back on Earth were real here, monsters such as Bigfoots, yes those hairy taller-than-human apes, slimes, dinosaurs, yes dinos does exist for some reason, and many others. See Monster Database for more.
Resources were also discovered and mined such as Titanium, Gold, Silver, Platinum and others, all to fuel the Commander's still-growing Economy.
But those aren't important right now. Right at this moment, the Commander just transferred to his newly built aircraft carrier, the CVN-01 Gehenna of the Gehenna-class of Aircraft Carrier. He was preparing for this very day since the discovery of wooden sailing ships, he craves for human interaction and he will have it even if it's the last thing he does. "Well... I'm not that desperate, all I just want is to know where exactly am I and if there are any space-faring civilization or agency wherever this damn place is."
Please don't break the 4th wall. "Sorry?"
Of course, since the Commander's been preparing for this day, by the way, designing a fully functioning warship and building it in just a month is quite the feat Commander, "Thanks.", the Commander also discovered a nearby landmass, a mere week of sailing with his new warship and this time, it's a full-blown continent instead of a sub-continent.
With everything set, the Commander does his final checks before leaving his once-HQ-now-turned-Supply Base behind for the new world, figuratively. "Huh? Oh right final checks."
It took an hour but the checks were over and the Gehenna, the Commander's maritime aircraft carrier, sailed. It's her maiden voyage and the Commander expects nothing less with his best work as of yet.
"Onwards to the New World!" Exclaims the Commander whilst pointing towards the continent.

Chapter 006 "... Problems? Problems."
Sadly the Commander's supposed departure from Base Alpha, or HQ as the man himself says, was put into an abrupt halt as soon as the ship launched. Why you ask? The answer is simple, the reefs and the ground.
It would seem like the place where he built his HQ, or more specifically, the port, was built atop shallow waters. After much cursing and a swarm of drones or two later, the entire area was flattened, it was blown to bits, specifically deeper, as the Commander mobilized Gehenna's aerial compliments as well as the HQ's and started bombarding the surrounding waters with high-explosive ordnance in an attempt to make the shore deeper whilst his Scarab drones armed with fabricators in deconstruct configuration started to dig out the sand, reefs and everything else the ship ran aground of.
After an hour of endless explosions and digging, the ship was finally freed and can now sail properly, or that was supposed to happen until the Commander got extremely exhausted, mentally, as running a ship by his lonesome proved to be too difficult. It's not as if the Commander can't do it but rather, the ship's VI, Virtual Intelligence, isn't enough to understand where shallow waters are as it ran aground for the second time. As the ship's being dug out, the Commander decides that having a dedicated AI to run the ship would be more beneficial and so after much moral crisis and self-conversing, an AI was queued and the Commander awaits.
"Father? It is nice to meet you, my designation is Gehenna, please command me as you see fit." Said the young long haired woman dressed in a black and white mixed long sleeved shirt-like jacket with the 2 bottom most buttons unbuttoned, on her hand were black military gloves, she also wears a pleated navy blue skirt, she also wears a tactical belt with pouches and on her waists were a pistol holster which holds her seconday weapon with her primary weapon, a Mossberg 590 shotgun, and two palm-thick titanium shields connected with mechanical limbs which is then connected to said woman's rear waist, her legs where covered in black stockings and on her feet were titanium plated combat boots.
Clothes aside, she is a beautiful woman, though beautiful as she is, the Commander's pretty risque thoughts about her suddenly disappeared as he tried to process what the woman just said. The 1.6m tall white-haired tan-skinned woman with golden pupils accented by digital lines which kept an eerily beautiful glow did call him 'Father'.
AN: Disclaimer. I don't own Girl's Frontline.
As the tanned woman squirms at his 'Father's' intense gaze, the Commander suddenly received a prompt as he finished scanning said woman.
Gehenna Gehenna's AI personified.
GDI's in-field AI (IAI), as opposed to the Electronic Video Agent, which acts as the Commander's field officers when communications from GDI HQ and GDI Satellites are not available.
Her android body is mainly composed of... in her lungs are energy batteries designed to store excess power....advance electrical circuits which mimics human nerves...her skeletons used titanium which...possessing synthetic skin with near human skin accuracy...
All other technicalities were ignored as the Commander focused on 3 words. Gehenna's AI personified. It was those three words which stopped the Commander's brain, temporarily.
"Soo.... A C&C Tiberium Wars crossover with Minecraft, Starship Troopers, Generic Fantasy World and now Kantai Collection and Girl's Frontline? What the fuck is going on?" Mutters the Commander as he recovers from his temporary crash and now pinches his nose bridge, of course he removed his helmet first. "Ah, wait, so that's why the system told me that a bunch of titanium, silicon, copper and a bunch of other materials..."
"F-Father? Are you alright?" Asked the tanned woman in corcern as the Commander mutters by himself whilst his palm covers his face. It took 5 seconds before the Commander forcefully calmed himself down and recovered, again, and started asking or rather, confirming something.
(AN: Gehenna is read as 'Genna' not Jenna or Henna.)
"So, to summarize. You are Gehenna, or more precisely the ship's AI which is housed in an android body?" Asked the Commander as his eyebrow kept on twitching. Thankfully the android didn't notice the twitching has she shifted 180 degree, metaphorically of course, stood straight, saluted and answered as short and concise as she can. "Yes Sir. I am CVN-01 Gehenna's Artificial Intelligence, as you've stated, I am currently housing my AI inside this body but you ordered, I'll have my AI Core transferred to the ship immediately."
"No that's fine." Said the Commander as he wore his scanner glasses-now turned into multipurpose glasses with various visions for tactical advantages and had Fenrir hold his helmet. "What's with the 'Father' thing though?"
(AN: I'll be differentiating Gehenna from Gehenna. The latter is her ship body whilst the former is her android body.)
Gehenna twitched and nervously answered as if scared of something. "A-are you not my F-father? H-have I made a m-mistake?"
The Commander watched and saw how the girl twitched and answered as she stutters whilst tearing up a bit. "No! I mean, no, no, It's fine call me Father or whatever you like! Please don't cry!"
The Commander who grew up surrounded by women, his family mind you, knew just how hard it is to calm a crying woman especially a crying family member who's a woman. The Commander instinctively knew that this woman in front of him was, or rather is his family. Him being the only male and the eldest lamented those times where his family's women toyed, hit, cried upon and was generally annoyed the crap out of him by said women.
Eventually his fussing got the girl to calm down before she cried. Instantly her sad expression turned into happiness as his 'Father' recognizes her as his daughter. Much to the dismay of said 'Father' though.
All of this was watched, read: Recorded, by Fenrir as she tilts her head as if not understanding what's happening.
As the two finally calmed down and the Commander confirming that Gehenna's main purpose, as of right now, is to be the ship, the maritime aircraft carrier armed to the teeth, and act in accordance to the Commander's orders and his protection included.
Sometime during a relatively peaceful sailing despite the strong air current and not-so-rough seas, Gehenna asked something that bothered her since her commissioning, read as Birth. "Father, I know that the Scarab drones are efficient than human android crew but why haven't you created android crews yet?"
"Well... Some time ago making human androids were very expensive, at the time my economy is in a bit of a mess and there's barely any resources so I had to resort to Harvesters, eventually the size and weight of the Harvesters proved to be too much for underground mining so I had to resort to something far smaller, that's where the Scarab's idea came from. The drone started out as a quad-legged drone with two arms, one drill and one gun, I had to redesign it a lot to fit many topographic conditions underground and I eventually ended up with the Scarab you know. Grav-wheels aren't really good at keeping you sticking on any type of surface plus the maintenance on legs are quite extensive as opposed to leg-less hover drones."
The two continued to talk and banter as Gehenna's cameras discovered several plumes of smoke in the horizon. "Father, smoke plumes ahead, possible signs of combat and no radio communications decected. Your orders Father?."
"... Keep hailing them as we approach, arm the guns and prepare the VTOLs for combat SAR. No targeting anything unless they target us first and especially no shooting, we shoot back not shoot first."
(AN: SAR = Search and Rescue)
"Yes Father."
"And cut that Father-cra-err, shtick, address me as Commander when in combat situations." Is what the Commander said but truly he's still not used to being called 'father' by someone physically barely older than him.
And as his daughter, Gehenna dutifully complies with no hesitation. "Understood Commander."

Chapter 007 "Another day, another problem"
"Fa-Commander, why are these people using wooden sailing ships and is armed with primitive weapons?" Asked Gehenna towards the Commander as they came upon the view of 5 ships, 5 wooden sailing ships firing arrows and boarding each other.
"Because... As I've said before, we're not on Earth. We're on another planet possibly a fantasy-based planet with the rules of physics being thrown out of the window because of things such as magic." Blandly answers the Commander as he identifies which side is who. On one side, there's a flag similar to similar to England's flag but instead of red, it is a blue cross outlined by white which is enclosed in a thin blue cross. A mix of England's and a Nordic cross flag.
Of the 5 ships, 2 belong to the same faction as they fly the aforementioned flag whilst the other three flies a mixture of others but ultimately they all wore the same gray background for their flags. Of the 5 ships, 3 are on fire, 2 of the flagged ones and one of the grey ones.
"Gehenna, what do you think should we do? I want to help them only for them to hold a debt to me which I can use to acquire information from them or alternatively we could engage and capture both sides, we can then gather information from both of them and cross reference them with each others' information for accuracy. The 3rd option is that we leave them alone and let them kill each other then we salvage the remains and gather information. Sadly the first 2 choices are better than the 3rd one since we'll have more information but the downside is that we get involved in whatever's happenig to them."
"Perhaps render the tentatively named blue cross faction as they seem to have an established government of sorts based on their uniforms alone rather than the grey faction which looks similar to what our database would describe as 'pirates'." Suggested the tanned woman whilst a finger lays on her cheeks as if thinking.
After a minute of thinking, the Commander finally decided to intervene. "Hm. We could do that, their reward for us would be information. Yeah, let's do that, help the blue faction and defeat the grey faction, for this operation, we'll act as a newly established mercenary group. Don't sell out any information about ours."
"Affirmative Fa-Commander. The fleet will now enter combat." As announced by Gehenna, the ship's bridged shifted, the front of the captain's seat where Gehenna sat upon (She was forced by the Commander to sit) shifted and a bunch of holographic displays appeared each containing a bunch of information about the ongoing battle, battle preparations and many others.
20 Seconds later, the tentatively named 'Silversand Mercenary Group', suggested by the Commander, intervened on the ongoing battle and assisted the blue faction. 2 minutes later, 3 ships were sunk, 3 fires where extinguished and a lot of personnel both pirate and not where rescued and brought aboard the blue faction ships of which they agreed to. No VTOL crafts where launched as the Riptide hovercrafts where more than enough for wooden ships and survivors on the sea.
Later the Commander met with the blue faction's leader atop their ship. Handshakes and thanks were given by the leader of the blue faction, a monarch-led country by the name of 'Aeterna-Midnae Kingdom', whose name is Alyssa Accroad-Midnae, a literal princess knight.
Alyssa Accroad-Midnae
AN: I don't own this.
'Yup she's an honest to god princess and a knight of her Kingdom.' Thought the Commander as she examines the fair-skinned black haired armored woman with red eyes. 'Quite the beauty too but I'd rather not get involved in politics, I don't like it and I'm not knowledgeable about it.'
"... Are you sure that you do not wish to be hired by us?" Asked the Princess Knight in hopes of the Commander changing his decision. She saw how a group of small ships ravaged the pirate ships quite easily and she knew that if those 'magic weapons' were pointed against her and her kingdom, they would suffer great losses.
"Yes. We are a newly established group and we would like to avoid getting involved in your skirmishes with your enemies. It's bad for my business to get involved in war for our first job." Replies the Commander. Sadly both sides made a mistake, both of which acknowledge as mistakes. The Commander revealed that he's new to literally everything and was forced to admit that he's from a faraway island and the Princess Knight accidentally giving away vital information of which she could've used to hire the Commander and his forces. Although both sides don't know what the other is thinking.
"Nonsense, with your magic weapons' prowess along with your gargantuan ship, destroying the entirety of the enemies' naval forces would be easy for you." Counters the Princess Knight.
"Maybe, maybe not. Still I would like to avoid joining the war. Thank you for the hospitality Princess Alyssa, if you'll excuse us." The Commander counters with a farewell which would've succeeded in the Commander finally getting away if it weren't for the Princess who asked another question. "Ah, Commander, might I inquire as to where your company is rooted at? We the Aeterna-Midnae Kingdom would like to hire your mercenary group's services for 'minor' jobs such as bandit and pirate deterrence as well as undead and monster culling."
'Eh... We'll... I do need to establish a land base in this continent preferably somewhere near the coast.' "Well. We do need to find a land owned by no one for us to claim so we can establish a 'branch' in the continent, I don't really like having to share lands with others may it be nobles or otherwise. They tend to get overboard with their so called authority of which we may end up using a bit of force to overthrow said authority. You know us mercenaries Princess, we don't like getting bossed around by people of the so called 'higher standing'."
Visibly, the Princess hesitated to answer as she knew that she had no authority to give land to the Commander, giving land means giving peerage and the Nobles of her Kingdom will oppose it. The Commander knew this and used it. ".... Is that so, then we hope that you'll establish a branch near our territories as we would like to establish a better relation with your company Commander."
'Ah, finally she relented.' Thought the Commander as he force a wry smile towards the Princess Knight. "It is unfortunate but we also hope to establish a better relationship between your Kingdom and my mercenary group. Please excuse us and we hope to meet you in the near future." The Commander bowed and paid lip services as he made his and his forces' exit and the Princess Knight letting out a silent but disappointed sigh aimed at herself.
As the Commander and his forces withdraw from the area, he contacted Gehenna as they both noticed a weird thing when conversing with the Kingdom's people. They were not speaking English and yet they understand them, the transfer of knowledge using language as a medium had a... Bit of a bug per se.
AN: "This is radio/wireless communications."
"Commander, I have analyzed the language and scanned our recording devices and software from tampering, I do not know whether it is fortunate or not but there were no signs of tampering and the language the Kingdom's people have spoken bears resemblance to English yet different but somehow we can understand them even if their language does not exist within our database." Explains the Commander's daughter, Gehenna, with a bit of frustration.
"Then this simply means that whoever brought us here tampered with the System and Database long before I woke up. Nevertheless, this simply means that we can't do anything about it and we should just leave it be and use it as it is." Replies the Commander feeling a bit tired.
"Father, are you sure about that? What if-" Gehenna tries to counter but the Commander cuts her off. "If our mystery benefactor transported us to a random world in a random galaxy or possibly universe, tampered with our database and removed almost half of GDI's total assets and made it so we can understand a foreign language despite us not having said language within our database. What makes you think that we can do something about said benefactor?"
"I would like to give whoever it is a punch in the face followed by a nuclear bomb but sadly I can't. Possibly we may never be able to. God I'm such a depressing person." Continues the Commander as he berates himself for his own depression.
"Father... Please don't worry, I'll find us a way back to GDI controlled space." Gehenna tries to cheer up his Father whilst pumping her fists to which the man gave her Daughter a wry smile while saying thanks. "Thanks."
Chapter End
AN: Eh? 'Why is there no action scene?' Well... Did you expect from a sword wielding fantasy pirates with little to no magic to be able to fight back a centuries advance warmachines? I just spared them pirates from curbstomping.
And no, I haven't forgotten about Fenrir, the Commander just left the she-wolf back inside the Gehenna.

AN: Primal Disposition.... That's a good title of a fic. Sadly I kinda like 'Adaptability at it's finest'.
Also as always, can't get the 'seamless' transition stuff thingy.
Adapting - 001 "Primal Disposition"
I don't know exactly how long I've been here but it's far too long. While this world isn't like the Zerus I've heard so much about - Thank ROB for that - and this world's fairly easy, I am getting rather... Bored with the state of things. I mean, I've killed whatever predator left in this small kingdom of forest that is mine, gained a lot of abilities from native faunas such as electro-kinesis and magneto-kinesis and a bunch of others. I still haven't encountered any signs of civilization, at first hunting preys to almost extinction a while ago would force whatever passes for humans out there to investigate but sadly it didn't work and just recently I've literally hunted preys to extinction and my small kingdom of trees are filled with preys for me to eat and stuff but still no signs of civilization.
With those in mind, just a few days ago I sprinted across the entirety of forest and went out only to discover a massive savanna, I despaired for a moment at the signs of lack of civilization but that was immediately washed away as thanks to my evolved eyesight scanning over a wall of sorts approximately 3 kilometers away.
Back then I thought, 'Thank ROB for civilization!' and tried sprinting towards the area only to be reminded of what I am at the first step out of the forest. I was a hybrid bipedal-to-quadrupedal-capable super predator in the shape of a Gear REX - Thank you Kojima-GOD for the inspiration - sans acid spitting gun-like limb and with whip-like long tail, launch-able spikes, sharp-as-fuck nails and teeth along with a bunch of other powers that'll make Alex Mercer green with envy.
Being a Primal Zerg - Thanks to ROB - and yes I am a Primal Zerg with a mix of Swarm-Zerg, thanks to my psionics, I needed to eat a species to gain their racial benefits and to mimic them, thanks to the slimes which allowed me to shape my body at will, which means that I need to eat a human or a humanoid to gain a hmunaoid body type. Thank god for fantasy world slimes, especially mimic slimes, because without them I won't be able to mimic other beings.
But I digress, I backed inside my little kingdom of trees, which I still have no idea how big it is since I can't measure myself let alone the size of animals since fantasy creatures live here and god knows how big they are compared to humans, moped and got depressed for a day or two and let spiral horned rabbits prance around me like the idiots that they are. No doubt the bastards are laughing at me. I'll eat them later on.
Another topic I want to talk to you, readers, about - Yes I'm aware that I'm breaking the 4th wall by monologuing but I care not - is monsters, yes there is monsters in this world god-knows-where and they're fantasy world-based monsters like slimes, goblins (Haven't encountered them yet), orcs (ditto), wyverns, basilisk (saw them from afar), giant bugs (I burnt them where they stand like the insects that they are and I most definitely did not scream like a girl when I saw them) and a bunch of thers like multi-legged canines or sometimes even normal-looking animals but with a sharp pointy horn or two. Yes I am pretty sure that this a generic fantasy world or something.
.... That aside I really want my fingers back, all ten of them, I may like my current form but I still want my human body just because I am so used to it. Like they said, you never really know how precious things are until you lost them. Aside from that, I want my human body bkac so I can communicate with sapient beings in this world. I could talk as is but with me appearing like a god damn dragon would scare the piss out of anyone, especially my razor-sharp 2 sets of rows of teeth. Hey I know I'd be scared shit-less so I'm pretty damn sure that others too.
Let's elaborate my abilities shall we? First I am a Primal Zerg. I discovered this only after eating a bunch of animals both bigger and smaller than me, everytime I ate a being, I would always gain something from them, at first I thought that I was a blacklight virus but I discarded that pretty quickly as I can't shapeshift. Then after fighting off a sudden injured wyvern I then discovered that the only being that could do what I do would be the zerg, more specificall the Primal Zergs of Zerus as opposed to the Overmind Swarm.
With that in mind, as I've told you earlier (Did I?), I hunted all sorts of animals and monsters to gain their abilities I am and still am very thankful for the mimic slime's ability, it lets me re-form my body into whatever it is as long as I've eaten it and then I can modify it at will. Yes I recognize that I could form a human-like body with this but the mosnter heritage would still be too obvious.
Well whatever, I'll just find a monkey or two and get their fingers for it. I have claws and they're not the most dexterous things.
aww i really liked the one before it would of been lil more interesting if he had be dropped onto a world in stargate with his MCV and it had a old as fuck cheop abandoned close btw to scan >.> its how i would want to be robbed <.<

It was on that fateful day, actually it was pretty fucking boring. A day like any day else for a student like me and pretty much everybody else but one thing is for sure, I didn't expect picking up a device that literally changed my life now and forever. I can no longer get my boring but normal life as I am now the holder of the device.
Eh? What device I'm talking about? Well… You know Magical Girl Nanoha Lyrical? If yes then good for you, if not then I'd suggest you go check it out right now…. Done? Good, because the device I found is quite similar to the intelligent devices found in the anime of MGNL but mine is different. For one, it doesn't turn me into a magical girl, thank god for that, or a magical shounen, even more thank god for that, and in MGNL devices were intelligent, they're sentient beings… Err, things.
My device isn't intelligent and literally does nothing else but record my 'status' in game terms with the exception of numbers and it only has 1 ability. Scratch that there's actually 3 abilities but the 2nd one is just a soulbound ability which bounds the device to my soul so it can't be stolen, the 3rd one granted me a the gamer-like interface with the device to keep track of things and the last one is my all-time favourite. It's a really OP ability that will make even Gods and Goddesses cry in blood with envy and shout unfairness to all things.
No it isn't OP in terms of firepower or defence as it can be destroyed but rather, its OP-ness relies on its versatility and usage. The ability is called Fiction Adaption, an ability designed specifically for people with wild imaginations and loves to read fictions all the damn time, I myself is an avid fiction reader and I do write as well but I'm utterly abysmal at that.
Anyways, the ability allows me to literally take any, I'll say it again, any and all fictional things and adapt it within me so I can use it…. By now I think you're either crying in unfairness and or envy but there is a limit to what Fiction Adaption can do. For one it can't adapt omnipotence to the user, which is myself, and I can only use it once a day. Thankfully my un-used charge gets accumulated for a maximum of ten charges.
Now then, onto the device, I found it in the form of a book in the middle of a road where only a few people use because it's dark as fuck in here and said book is right below a lamp post with said lamp lighting the book in the centre. I know it's fucking suspicious but the barely middle-class sack of meat that I am, decided that I should pick it up and keep it.
And boy oh boy, lemme tell you that it was the biggest and greatest yet luckiest mistake that I ever did.
I picked the book up and the moment I opened it, it lit up like there's no fucking tomorrow and almost blinded me. As the light kept assaulting me, I was fed with information, information on said book, now device, how to use it, its limits and what's it for.
As the light vanished and still feeling sceptical, I looked around to see if this is a prank but after a minute of looking with no result, I tucked the device in my bag and made a run for my home.
Then as soon as I locked myself inside my room, taking the device out and reconfirming if knowledge was actually implanted in my brain, I found out that whatever the book-err, device, claims was actually true as I thought of it granting me the ability to use Alchemy from Nasuverse as well as the knowledge on the hows and whys.
To say that I was astonished or shock was an understatement. I was awed and overwhelmed and left speechless.
"I was granted this kind of power? Why? Why me? Not that I'm complaining. And what for?" Were the words I helplessly muttered as knowledge and god damn magic circuits were implanted in my head and to my Soul.
Then like an idiot (I mean who won't?) I spent my entire week transmuting various metals into profitable ones and sold them through various jewelry shops for cash. Of course while I did a stupid thing of selling them, in shops of all places, I did the sensible thing and sold them in small amounts and through various places.
Once I amassed a small fortune, I remembered that I had the fucking device left in my room and immediately went back to get it thinking that it's only a one-time thing. Fortunately the implanted knowledge within me informed me that while I can indeed only use Fiction Adaption once a day, It can and will accumulate all the 'tickets', un-used 'usages', 'charge' or whatever you want to call it with a maximum of 10 charges.
Then after that, within a month I basically became the most powerful being in this world, my world specifically, since there's no one else with special abilities of any kind. I could've conquered the world like childhood-me wanted but thanks to thought acceleration and memory partition, the other-me convinced me that it is a bad idea since I'm not qualified for it. Not yet anyways.
Then a day later and I went ahead and made myself Caliburn and Excalibur from Nasuverse for weapons, then gave myself Lancelot's Noble Phantasms of Eternal Arms Mastership, For Someone's Glory and Knight of Owner simply because their very useful. Very useful.
Knight of Owner allows me to fight with any weapon skilfully whilst For Someone's Glory allows me to hide my identity and the Eternal Arms Mastership will let me fight anyone and anything if I blanked out in the middle of a fight. I then combined EAM and KoO with my secondary consciousness made solely for fighting which is made using Memory Partition and enhanced by Thought Acceleration for more OP fighting skills.
What? I'm OP? Well screw you I can't help it but be OP! I mean who wouldn't want to become such an OP being?
I for one sure as hell want to be one so why wouldn't you?
Of course seeing as I gained powers to fight, I decided to test out my powers by visiting an active warzone in my country, a small rebellion is more than enough for me to test my fighting skills.
Though to extrapolate on my escapades in M-City is…. Well… I'm ashamed at myself. I'm ashamed at myself for thinking that I could take them on, I'm ashamed at myself that I easily killed someone, I'm ashamed at myself for puking my guts out because even though they're the 'rebels', they're still human and I'm especially ashamed at myself for getting others killed whatever the reason and whoever they are. But at the same time, it taught me a valuable lesson even though it makes me want to puke just by saying that.
Well, enough of that, as time passed on, so are the number of abilities and skills that I granted myself with. The biggest and arguably most powerful second only to Fiction Adaption is the ability to summon Heroic Spirits as Servants. Yup I gave myself Heaven's Feel. I feel sorry for those wanting to attack me, almost.
After that I basically copied Saber's, Arturia Pendragon's, body which gave me a Magic Core which then granted me powerful magecraft and the ability to use magic but I edited it and made it so it's not Ddraig's blood but rather, Fafnir's blood within me. Why Fafnir? Well… He became a dragon, became not born, and it felt right to me to give myself Fafnir's blood. Then I immediately gave myself both magic and magecraft of Runes, Space-Time and Healing and immediately went and made myself black-coloured earrings and enchanted them with resurrection and spatial and time magic and magecraft that if by any chance that I died, time will rewind itself exactly a day prior to my death.
I made six with 3 of them using magecraft and the other 3 using magic just in case and then I had them stick to my ear's helixes. My worry of death won't disappear but it certainly is lessened by a lot. I've even made it less of a problem by giving myself fucking Avalon and now I'm functionally immortal and have a ridiculous regenerative ability.
I think it may have been a… Well… Not bad but certainly rash decision just so that I could alleviate my fear of death. Also I named it as 'Earrings of Timely Ressurection', yeah I don't care and I think I have a bad naming sense.
Oh and I also gained titles, they don't particularly do anything except in worlds related to them, thanks a lot gamer-like device, here:
Carrier of THE DEVICE
Carrier of the King's Will
Carrier of Fafnir's Blood
Magician of Heaven's Feel
Then there's these titles which evolved the more I gained abilities:
Magus to Magician to Immortal Magician. The first 2 are self-explanatory but the 3rd one is a bit special as it combined my title of 'Carrier of Avalon' with my 'Magician' title. Then it did the same with my Heaven's Feel and it now became 'The Immortal Magician of Heaven's Feel'. I know its mouthful and I utterly don't like it but the device, fuck you btw, didn't care made that my main title much to my dismay. Thankfully I managed to change it to 'Magician of Heaven's Feel' much to my relief.
…
……
I'm starting to think that this thing's actually sentient.
Anyway, speaking of the device, I also changed its form, found out how, and had it changed into a smartphone which surprisingly worked like an actual phone. Then I fucking found out that the device took my fucking name now I can't even fucking remember it and people seems to have forgotten it for some fucking reasons and my device demanded, not asked, demanded that I choose a new name!
I love you but FUCK YOU DEVICE!!
Anyway, it's been a fun short-time, this is Razgriz Grail, signing off. For now.
So yeah, I was reading the three Fics listed above (Great works by the way, I totally recommend them) and it was on Crash Dive that the nagging voice to 'write' one appeared, I ignored it but still bugged me the next day over! So to satisfy my curiosity, I decided to make my own Kanmusu character, usually creating a character or two when the voice nags is more than enough to make the nagging disappear but this one ain't, it just keeps persisting. So yeah, I'll just leave it here.
---- 001 "Is it an aircraft carrier? Submarine? ... It's both?" ----
I would like to say that it was a good morning, but clearly it wasn't as I found myself suddenly awake. Normally it wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that when a person sleeps and wakes up, they usually feel groggy and lazy, crankyness optional, with eyes still blurry and dried saliva in your cheeks. You know, the usual stuff.
Except it wasn't the usual stuff for me as I am now clearly standing above the water. While one might argue that I'm awake, it quickly became apparent that I am in fact, not dreaming as I saw 2 familiar and peculiar flying object that's wedge-y, black, with teeth and has mounted gun below the 'nose' of it. They saw me.
Did I mention that they saw me? No? Well, they saw me, and I was terrified.
I don't know what to tell you other than 'it's wrong'. I mean 'existential levels of wrong' wrong. Just looking at them gives me the chills and their shrieks just plain scared me.
I didn't know what to do other than run so I did just that. I just ran.
I ignored the fact that I was standing on water, ignored the fact that I was running on water. I just wanted to be nowhere near that thing when suddenly. Boom.
It was an explosion and for one reason or another, it was a bomb, a free-fall explosive ordnance designed to FUCKING SPREAD YOUR FLESH AND BITS BECAUSE GOD DAMN IT HURTS! But yeah, I was hurt and I looked for the source of my 'hurt' then what part of me hurt and then I was angry and I saw red.
It was only after the things were flaming wrecks beside me that I recovered my mental faculties. I seem to have killed the damn things with missiles. One for each fucker it seems.
Then it hit me. Where did the missiles came from?
I looked around and... searched and found no one but me, the now-dead abyssal fuckers and ship hull with the still-opened VLS cells.
Boy was I surprised. Holy fuck I was surprised!
I mean, I scanned the VLS then followed the body, the hull, that it was built into and to my surprise that it was built into me! My eyes then gazed into 'my' body and it gave me information that I was looking for.
Where did the missiles came from? The answer is from me. I was the one who launched it. Then the question came, how?
/The Tuatha de Danann is more than capable of combating surface, submerged and aerial threats with its VLS, SLBM, Torpedo-tubes and CIWS weapon systems./
Tuatha de Dannan-class? What?
/The Tuatha de Danann is the namesake of the class of submersible assault aircraft carrier, it is the only ship of its class and is commissioned by the Mithril, a PMC organization./
Mi-Mithril? Submersible Aircraft Carrier? ISN'T THAT FROM FULL METAL PANIC?! AND I AM THAT SUPER SUBMARINE-AIRCRAFT CARRIER?!
/The proper term is 'Submersible Aircraft Carrier'./
SHUT IT YOU! DON'T SASS ME!
/I am incapable of the activity 'Sass'./
GAAAAAH!!!
So yeah, that was me hours ago and now I've read up what am I and what am I capable of.
I was, or rather, I am Tuatha de Danann, a Tuatha de Danann-class Submersible Assault Aircraft Carrier that's frankly capable of doing awesome things.
And it turns out I was nerfed by fucking ROB.
I distinctly remember that Tuatha de Danann is capable of going up to truly ludicrous 65 knots, surfaced, with the help of superconductivity propulsion. Boy wasn't that fast. And then I also lost all of my AS units, they were instead replaced with SP Aircrafts from Ace Combat, I was contemplating on complaining and cursing to thanking and praising him but I settled with both.
Since I don't have the SC propulsion, I had free space and ROB gracefully decided to give me 4 deploy-able CIWS hidden in my hull and an advance 3D printer to print me some ammunition and supplies for myself and my complements, thank ROB for that.
Luckily, I still had Tuatha de Danann's original speed of 30 knots, submerged and 40 knots, surfaced. I may not have the SC propulsion but hot damn boy was I fast.
And then! Not to mention that my SP Aircrafts from ACE COMBAT are the friggin' laser-toting UAVs! The Quox Bis drones! AND CARMILLAs TOO! YEAH FUCK YOU ABBYSSALS! TRY ME BITCHES!
Ah fuck, I can't stop gushing about this.
Sadly I only have 8 Quox bis, 2 Carmillas and followed by another 8 of standard Quox. Oh the tasty, tasty possibilities!
Anyways, ignoring my technical capabilities for now, I am currently around the pacific ocean but the specifics are lost to me as there's a large-scale jamming effect which my faeries tells me that probably spans most, if not all, of the pacific ocean. Friggin' Kancolle BS.
I made the mistake of activating my active radar, while useful, it is a double edged blade as it also reveals my general position to whoever receives my radar scan.
Captain Tessa, yes she's that Teletha Testarossa, made her displeasure known by stomping hard on the floor and shouting at at me.
"Desu!" Shouts the small woman.
Geez I was sorry woman!
Anyway, now I'm submerged 200 meters below sea-level and currently prowling along with the waves trying to avoid ships and aircraft alike.
"Desu." FMP?
Eh? What was it that I earlier mentioned about Full Metal Panic, Kantai Collection and Ace Combat?
"Desu." Yes.
Ah, crap... Well at least I have something to do, or rather, explain, while I'm crawling under the sea.
All right, first of all, my Captain dearest, you have to allow everyone to hear this. We're soundproof right?
"D-desu, desu."
Aw my chibi Captain blushed.
"DESU!"
All right, all right, I'll stop. Anyway, addressing to all crew of Tuatha de Danann, this is... well Tuatha de Danann, there's something you need to know and you must be calm at all times.
