Infected
Chapter 1:The Attack
"Dennis! Get you head out of the clouds!" yelled Grisson, who was a sergeant and was in charge off the squad Dennis was in.
Dennis jolted up.
"Sir, yes sir" Dennis yelled as he saluted Grisson.
Dennis is a private in the Terran military, he is your normal everyday eighteen teenager, Dennis was always picked on and called weak, gay, etc, all because he was a nerd but, no one got to know him but, if they did they would find out that he has a caring and understanding personality. He hadn't planned on going to the military, he had planned on going to collage and get his Masters Degree and become a scientist but alas, bad luck struck him deeply. Dennis was drafted into the military two weeks after his graduation from high school.
Military life was a hard burden on Dennis, he went through an environment that was similar high school plus, the Drill Instructors made it worse. The thing that was different was that even though the other recruits picked with him they were friends in some respect. They were all friends because they knew what they would be fighting out there, they would be fighting the Zerg and the Protoss, who of which are two different races that are both strong enough to eradicate a human as if it were nothing.
The squad Dennis was in stationed near a Science Vessel called the Amerigo which had landed due to lack of fuel and was getting refueled now. Their mission was to protect the Vessel from all threats seeing as the vessel held important documents.
'Oh man...I'm so nervous I feel as though I could pass out...those guys need to hurry up and get that thing fueled up because I've got a feeling that some bad is going to happen...I hope it doesn't' Dennis thought as looked around getting tenser by the minute.
An hour passed by and still everything was clear, calm, and peaceful until a marine saw a group of Zerglings charging towards him.
"Oh Shit, HERE THEY COME" the marine yelled.
Dennis almost pissed himself when heard those words and when he saw the Zerglings he stared in fear. To Dennis the Zerglings looked like something out of a horror movie but, something in him told him to start shooting at them, it told him to destroy them.
Dennis gave into it and aimed his rifle at them and fired.
The recoil from the gun surprised him as it pushed his arms back a little but he got used to it and continued shooting until the group of Zerglings were dead.
Dennis looked around and saw that only he and Grisson shot at the Zerglings.
"Hey, stop fucking around and start shooting" Grisson yelled at the other marines right before more Zerg came into sight.
The Zerg were starting to overwhelm them and it seemed as though the fight was just beginning. Dennis and his squad were slowly pulling back to the vessel since they were one of the three squads left that consisted of twelve marines.
Dennis gunned down a Zergling until he looked down range and saw a women who had features similar to a human but she had green skin, brownish hair(?), and some spider-like things sticking out from behind her and it seemed as if she were controlling the Zerg.
Dennis saw the woman look at him with a evil look on her face which made a chill go down his spine but, he shook it off and killed a Zergling that was about to pounce at him.
"You guys need to take off N-" Grisson yelled into his comlink but was cut off as he got attack by five Zerglings. Grisson's armor was brutally ripped apart by the Zerg and was killed shortly after a Zergling stabbed him in the heart.
When Grisson fell the whole squad gradually got picked off until the only marines left were Dennis and five other marines left.
Dennis started panicking after he saw that they were getting surrounded.
After two more minutes Dennis was the only one left and he fully surrounded. He would have broke down right then there but that same little voice in him told to keep on fighting and he did.
Dennis took a second to look at his ammo left and saw that he had fifty bullet left. He felt discouraged for a second but, he shook his head and open fire on the Zerg until he heard the of doom, his gun was empty.
Dennis looked around at all the Zerg and saw a Zergling leap at him and as if on cue he smashed it in the head with the butt of his gun and watched as its body fell to the ground...dead.
He looked at the corpse and almost smiled until he felt an immense amount of pain come his back. Dennis screamed in pain when he felt something sharp go through his back and poke out his chest. The blade-like thing went straight through his armor. Dennis felt the blade go out of him he then turned around, getting weaker by the second, and saw that he was face to face with the woman.
Dennis stared at the women's yellow,evil eyes and saw that she had a smirk on her face.
A tear went down Dennis's cheek as knew that he was dead, all of his dreams of curing diseases, become successful, making his parents proud, proving all the people who bullied him wrong, faded away.
Dennis looked at the womans face and could see that her smirk had almost left her face and she almost had a look of care on her face.
"Well...I guess...I guess they were...they were...right about me being weak..." Dennis said out loud not knowing.
Dennis looked at the womans face one more time and saw that she had a fully fledged out sympathetic look on her face and if he wasn't weak he would've thought of her as cute even with the green skin, yellow eyes, and the things coming out of her back.
Dennis felt his legs give out on him, he closed his eyes and finally he fell back and laid on the ground incapacitated but, dieing or is it changing.
A Zergling was about to eat Dennis until the woman held up her hand.
"He will be one of us soon...I have injected him with the virus..." the woman then pointed in the direction on the Science Vessel.
The woman looked at Dennis.
"I'm sorry...but this is the way it's got to be" the woman said with guilt in her voice.
Chapter 2:The Infection
Dennis had passed out from the pain but his body was changing but, it wasn't mutating, it was evolving.
Unbeknown to Dennis, his body had fully healed he muscle, bone density, senses and reflexes increased and many other things changed for the better but, there was a chemical reaction in his body and all of those powers went dormant to keep the Zerg infection from taking over his mind.
Dennis opened his eyes and looked around.
"I-I'm alive...but...how...that woman stabbed me and left me to bleed to death..." Dennis with disbelief in his voice.
Dennis lifted his hand in front of his face and found out that his arm was pretty stiff. He flexed his hand in front of his face. The young marine smiled and stood up and smelled something bad, he then looked around and saw the dead Zergling body he then sighed.
"Well I know what stinks...wait...how long have I been out...probably hours" Dennis said as he started to stretch, trying to make his body used to movement again.
He looked around fro his gun but it was nowhere to be seen he then sighed and turned on his comlink only to here loud static and he knew that his com was out.
'So now what...I'm alone, I don't have a gun, and I don't know how to get off of this planet...come on Dennis think...oh yeah...theres a base that was set up just in case things went bad...if I remember correctly it was 10 miles...that way' Dennis thought before he pointed north towards the Terran base.
Dennis headed north hoping that the base hadn't been overrun.
Thirty minutes of walking went uneventful until Dennis saw Zerg down the pass, he then jump behind some cover.
'Damnit...can I please go a day with only having to deal with the Zerg one time...jeez give me a break...I can't just run straight through them...hmm I think there is a shortcut this way' Dennis said as he sneaked into a passage.
Dennis walked through the passage and came out the other end only to find himself right next to a Zerg base. He quickly dodge rolled behind a rock and panted.
'Okay Dennis...keep-your-cool...there is a lot of cover from here to the other end of the base all you have to do is try to stay silent and move quickly but damn...did they have to make this armor this bulky...God, please help me' Dennis thought as he dashed for the next piece of cover.
Dennis quickly arrived at the cover and quickly checked around and saw that he didn't attract any attention he then sighed and dashed for the next cover.
He finally got to the second to last piece of cover and the stretch between the last one and the one he was at right now was long.
"Okay Dennis you can do this...its now or never" Dennis thought.
Dennis was about to sprint towards the finish but he froze mid-step when he heard a voice.
"You!" came from behind Dennis.
Dennis with fear in his eyes turned around and was again face to face with the same woman that stabbed him.
Dennis stared into the woman's eyes again who had a irritated/surprise look on her face.
"Uh...hello...I didn't get to tell you this last time...you know with you stabbing me and all but, I think your cute..." Dennis said out of nowhere with a small blush on his face.
He could have sworn he saw a small hint of blushing but he forgot about and quickly turned around and sprinted away.
'Just keep running Dennis, don't think about anything except getting to that base' Dennis repeated to himself as he was chased by the woman and all the of the Zerg that were present at the base.
Dennis quickly glanced behind him and saw a Zergling on his tail he then put all the strength he had in his legs and got a burst of speed from out of nowhere.
The woman looked with awe as she looked at the boy sprinting away.
'He's actually losing us but how can he run so fast...a normal human can't run that fast...wait...I infected him...how can he...theres no way he could be just like me' the woman thought as she watch the boy completely lose the Zerg that were chasing him.
Dennis had sprinted at least five miles and he could see that the base was nearby.
Dennis ran into the base and panting.
"T-Theres a Zerg base that way so...you might want to check it out...and if you'll excuse me...I'll be passing out now" Dennis said to a nearby marine right before he fell to his knees and then fell flat on the ground.
Note:Just an FYI there isn't going to be a Dennis X Kerrigan relationship like BF and GF but there will be a relationship of some kind and I'm not telling anymore and also reviews more chapters
