Mengsk was dead, and the Zerg were recovering from their losses on Korhal. The time had come to prepare to attack Amon – to attack a god.
Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, walked through the biological hallways of her leviathan. Some time ago she had given Abathur a project to ensure the Swarm's survival no matter the result of the war with Amon, and mere moments earlier Izsha had told her that Abathur had reported success.
A fleshy door opened. An immature mind would have commented on its resemblance to a sphincter, and everything such a resemblance entailed, but Kerrigan had not had an immature mind in a very long time… and even if she did, she had gotten used to the appearance by now.
"Izsha tells me that you've succeeded Abathur. I came to see the results for myself, and to find out how you did it."
"Process challenging," the Evolution Master replied, "Larvae cannot survive off creep. Many strands altered to solve problem. Larvae contain all Zerg strands to become other Zerg. Few changes needed. Psionic and intellectual improvements. More changes. Conflicting sequences. Recent evolutionary upgrades removed."
"Such as?"
"Swarmling mutation gone."
Getting the idea, Kerrigan interrupted, "So the larvae will be able to find suitable areas or hosts for themselves, but what about the modified drop pods?"
"Challenge harder. Added brain, navigational ability. In atmosphere can slow movement, search. Many strands changed."
"So as I requested, the sac will be able to find a secluded spot to morph into a hatchery?"
"Yes."
"And how many of these have you made."
"One. Changes complete. Easy to replicate. More can be made at your command."
"Then fire this one into deep space and begin producing more. Even if Amon wipes us out, the Swarm will seed the universe."
Author's Note: This is just a setup for the other chapters in this story. I've seen this idea in a couple of other fanfics, and it goes like this: Kerrigan makes Abathur create an organism that can fly around the universe/galaxy far away from Amon's influence to start a new swarm just in case, but all of those stories limited themselves to one crossover. I'm going to do a bunch of crossovers, and didn't want to rewrite the same prologue every time.
So far, the planned future universes/swarm leaders are as follows (in no particular order):
1) Donkey Kong (Nintendo)
2) Kamacuras (Godzilla franchise)
3) Alex Mercer (Prototype)
4) Alma (F.E.A.R.)
5) Jaune Arc (RWBY)
6) Harry Potter
7) Irys (Gamera franchise)
8) Skull Island (King Kong franchise)
9) Kratos (God of War)
10) Kingdom Hearts
11) Smaug (The Hobbit)
12) Who knows? I'm open to adding more characters or worlds eventually.
