Other world chimera

There is a well known saying that goes like this: the bigger they are, the harder they fall. I doubt I have to explain the meaning but for argument’s sake I will. You can see it from a physical perspective as a body with a large volume will contain a large amount of mass as well, and so when said body falls it will apply an equally large amount of force. There is the social context as well, for example a mistake made by a politician will be far more costly to their career than that made by a small time shop keeper.

Now my dear reader, you may be wondering what this has to do with a story involving the naruto franchise. Well this is precisely how the story starts. Aurora Ambridge was a well renowned scientist in the fields of space-time mesh bending and quantum physics, her aspiration was to be the first to breach the space-time mesh in a controlled way to form a stable wormhole. I would like to point out that I said she was instead of is, why? simple, she is no more.

The first attempt she ever made was her last as she made a simple yet vital mistake. The machine she was using to open a portal the size of a few atoms in diameter hadn’t been properly configured. This error however was not hers, but that of her personal assistant. If one were to look back it was a sequence of seemingly inconsequential actions that led to the mistake.

Emma, the assistant, had spent the previous night celebrating with her colleagues, Aurora not included. In said celebration she had consumed a fair amount of alcohol which of course led to a hangover the next day. Not wanting to miss their first ever attempt at making history she decided not to call in sick. Coincidentally that day was a guard rookie’s first day and so he performed his duties poorly. This led to Ema’s unenpided entry into the facility despite not being in working condition.

Mistakes were made, Emma with her rather prominent headache imputed the wrong parameters into the machine which led to catastrophe. For starters, the quantum restriction field’s oscillation frequency had been attuned to five ghertz more than it should. The portal diameter had been set to five meters instead of five femtometers. Worst of all was the desynchronization of the portal’s temporal canals.

Many things should have happened thanks to all these mistakes. The machine should not have started, and if it did it should have shut down before it could even start the warming up. Even if it did manage to warm up and properly attempt to open the wormhole the sheer energy requirement should have caused it’s shut down. None of that happened.

Somehow the sum of all the mistakes led to the impossibility of the machine functioning with normality. The energy required was absorbed by the quantum restriction field from the temporal dysfunction created by the desynchronization of the temporal canals. This led to the creation of a pair of wormholes of five meters in diameter instead of a singular one. Worst of all was the fact that only god could know where the wormholes led.

A second. The portals lasted a single second as the power grid suffered a meltdown from the sheer amount of energy generated. However that was enough for Aurora to be mercilessly ripped from the fabric of reality. She had been a single step closer to the containment glass than her peers and that was enough to be within the 5 meters spherical radius of the wormholes.

All Emma and the other scientists saw was a flash of light and then nothing. The lights of the underground compound had died and so they were in complete darkness. A moment later a scientist used his phone’s light to observe their surroundings. In front of them, where the bright doctor Aurora Ambridge had once stood was a crater. A perfect pair of spheres had been cut into the concrete walls and floor leaving nothing behind.

In the turbulence of time and space where all realities and none existed at the same time a new straggler appeared. It happened too fast for Aurora to react. One moment she was standing in front of the containment glass exception to write history the next she was flung through an unknown environment. Worst of all was the pain. An indescribable pain assaulted her senses as her body was assaulted by dissonant waves of space and time. Any other living being should have died by now and yet by a miracle she was kept alive.

The colors were blinding and suffocating. Her body demanded air but there was none in this place if it could be called as such. Unknown objects would smash against her body, ripping it to pieces only for a wave of temporal inconsistency to fix it. Some other objects would instead be absorbed causing an untold amount of changes.

Time went on, or back as she continued to suffer the worst hell imaginable. A millennium experienced in a microsecond. A microsecond experienced in a millenium. In a place where time and space lose all coherence, how is the feeble human mind expected to keep sane. Finally her body was torn, shredded to nothingness and yet something remained. The soul, a concept all living things know exists and yet none comprehend. That remnant was finally freed from the chaos of space and time to either disappear or find a new vessel.

The soul is a complex thing. A conglomerate of energies that form the basis for any and all living entities. A data bank containing all possible information pertaining to said being. Complex, powerful and firm, yet fragile to a fault. From DNA memories, experiences, personality and many more the soul stores them all.

Aurora’s soul had gone through a traumatic experience as it had been overwritten and rewritten over and over again while within the chaos of time and space. Now that it had finally fallen into a stable reality once again its first instinct was to search for a vessel. Normally, souls would experience energy decay while outside their vessels. This of course could be mitigated through many means. However, a soul that has left the body will for all intents and purposes disappear after experiencing decay to never be recovered.

Aurora’s soul was different. Whatever happened to it within the chaos of time and space made it resilient to a fault. It as any other would decay and disappear with time. However, how long it would take for it to do so was up for debate. Not that it matters as after a day it found what it needed.

A single zygote just formed in the womb of a woman was the perfect vessel. It was like a clean slate. No soul resided in it yet and as such it could be modified and adapted to house the soul. There would be no rejection and as such a life that was supposed to end could be brought back.

As soon as Aurora’s soul entered extreme changes began to occur to the genetic material of the zygote. Mutation after mutation followed as whatever had changed her soul was now changing her new body. She would never come to know the full scope of what had integrated and changed her but for us who watch her story it would be better to disclose it.

For starters it’s better to explain what resides within the chaos of time and space. Aside from the chaotic primordial energies of time and space themselves there is also an innumerable number of things within. After all, chaos is connected to any and all realities and worlds. It would not be a stretch to say that anything and everything that could exist has once entered the chaos.

Of course the chaos of time and space also works as let’s say the multiversal trash-can. When a universe dies it gets torn by the chaos, reduced to its most elemental components. What might remain of them are the things that can withstand the chaotic energies within. That brings us back to what entered and changed Aurora’s soul.

The first thing to come in contact with the poor scientist was a lightning made out of pure energy. This lightning was the very representation of a primordial force. The speed force as its name implies controls speed and therefore the kinetic energy contained within an action or being.

Even though a link was established between Aurora’s being and the force itself said link was rather narrow preventing her from taking full advantage of its primordial powers. However, with time and effort she might be able to increase her connection with the speed force being able to use more of its power.

Another boon she got is a piece of an entity that is known as scp-682 or the hard to destroy reptile. Don’t let the name fool you though. The damned lizard is for all intents and purposes immortal. Capable of adapting to any and all situations it also boasts of absurd regenerative powers. Unfortunately, just like the speed force it didn’t provide the full scope of these absurd abilities. Instead, Aurora got a heavily degraded version of them.

If the lizard is capable of adapting in a matter of seconds Aurora would take days, months or even years depending on the situation. While the lizard can reform its whole body from a single cell in an hour or two. Aurora heals a little faster and can regrow lost limbs albeit the process would take a long time to complete.

Finally, an eye from the spider goddess shiraori. Shiraori is a goddess born from the boredom of her progenitor known as the evil goddess D. Through insurmountable odds and struggle Shiraori ascended into god who earned her name from D. Her eyes possess many powers from seeing a few seconds into the future to clairvoyance for kilometers. However, her most powerful ocular power is the eye of gluttony.

The eyes that can never be satiated. A skill created by shiraori with the intention to fight and defeat other gods by stealing their energy through her eyes. The eye of gluttony. Just like before Aurora didn’t get all the boons from the eye. However she did get the eye of gluttony. The eye of gluttony or kinagan when activated changes her iris color to a bright pink while the pupil separates creating four new ones that surround the original one.

There are multiple factors that determine the rate at which energy is stolen. However, the amount isn’t large even when Shiraori used them. That’s why she used an untold amount of clones to stack the effect.

With all these modifications it would be safe to assume that Aurora would be an absolute monster in her new life. However, one has to remember that she does not know any of this information. It is up to her to realize her potential.
