A/N
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't miffed about Blizzard canning the Predator from StarCraft II. Granted, I'm sure they had their reasons and I wouldn't be surprised if it turns up as a campaign unit and/or becomes a regular unit in the expansion packs, but still...Meh. After discussing it at the blizzforums, I came up with this piece. And yes, I've taken some liablities as to the (nature of) inclusion of certain units. That's poetic license for you.
Predator
Oh the thrill of the launch as I
Exit the hanger.
Out into vacuum,
Where there is no clatter.
...
Wraiths fly beside me,
But lag behind,
Cause I'm in a Predator,
A ship fast as you'll find.
...
Scourges evaded and
Mutalisks too.
Guardians present,
Lasers force them to shoo.
...
Overlords present,
Robbing Wraiths of their cloaking.
More laser fire,
Their corpses left smoking.
...
Corruptors swoop down,
And take out some Wraiths.
The situation looks grim,
Pilots losing their faith.
...
Missile barrages from,
Battleships mighty,
Ordered to fall back,
We all say "alrighty."
...
Scourges and Corruptors,
Head for the cruisers.
Point lasers activate,
As Wraiths leave zerg with bruises.
...
Now here come the protoss,
As scoutships report.
To psionic insults,
We shout back retorts.
...
Interceptors outmatched,
Phoenixes blown.
Even the carriers,
Are sent way back home.
...
Arbiters, warp prisms,
They are all outmatched.
Cause the Predator fighter,
Is well worth its cash.
...
Heading back to the ship,
I'm the talk of the town.
But then comes Blizzard,
And I am shot down.
