Phantom.

Chapter I.

Naruto Uzumaki. A boy with unlimited psionic potential. Found on backwatered planet, in the cave near the strange settlement. Further test showed that all people of that word has strong, yet dormant psychic abilities. Returning them to the Confederacy will be too costly. Only several among thousands can unlock the dormant psychic potential.

Uzumaki Naruto, or as he was called later by the scientist Subject Nine shows remarkable potential during the Ghost training, he is a promising student and his potential will let him to become the greatest ghost of Confederacy's forces.

We continue the training, now under the new leadership. Confederacy fell under the power of the Zerg. We now follow the commands of Arcturus Mengsk… This tyrant is paranoid… like all tyrants are, actually. Under his orders we moved to much harsher treatment.

Through it we managed to find that boy has some kind of regeneration ability. Pretty high-speed too. Under orders of Mengsk we tested a new methodic on him. More rare materials were used to initiate our young soon-to-be killer machine, jorium and terrazine made miracle. But rather dark one. We saw physical changes in the boy and feared changes that will happen to his psyche

To our surprise, boy's body adjusted just fine, but unlike any other initiate, he didn't need the constant dosages of terrazine to make him float. It seems like his organism just… evolved and started to create the needed acids and nucleons all by itself, without the aid of drugs that we usually used.

Then under the orders of Mengsk we started the project "Shadow Blade". But later experiments failed like usual Ghosts they needed dosages of jorium and terrazine. And the key to the ultimate power was locked in their proto-specter. Inside Subject Nine.

In rage, Mengsk ordered to use everything that was in our disposal to get the results. I fear the worst. I saw the boy… No I can no longer call him like that, a young man turned into a monster… He looks at us with his glowing, slitted, red eyes. He sharpens his claws, which grew on his hands, he licks his fangs, which his teeth turned into.

He thirsts for blood. And I fear that I know where he wishes to take it from.

It's too late… Anyone, who reads this… please… you must stop what we did… you must…

With a loud sound scientist's head smacked into the keyboard, pieces of the device and teeth of said doctor flew in different directions. Clawed, muscular hands once again smacked him into the key board. And again. And again.

When Naruto felt that scientist's body became limp, he let it fell.

Scientists always lied to him, especially this one. He said that the voice he heard is a sign of something bad. However, voice showed him the path to freedom. He turned to the exit.

Proto-Spectre had the things to do. And an Emperor to kill. Promises to uphold. But first of all he needed to find clothes… and later – allies.

Several days later Naruto managed to find a trace of the man called Gabriel Tosh. Strange rumors followed the man and if there were Specters still action, then they will be near him.

Tosh greeted him rather warm… if you can say that burning out one of his hideouts was that. However Tosh had others and having one more Spectre at these days was much better. Tosh told Naruto that he has a plan to return Specters back to action.

First of all he needed Naruto to look after one certain man… James Raynor.

And if he is truly up to their expectations he must propose a deal to him.

Prison Block. Unknown time.

"Prisoner step on the platform." said a female mechanical voice of the Adjutant. Giant, bald, muscular man, covered in tattoos and clad only in baggy prison pants stepped forward into the circle of light. He placed his legs into the special boots and the machines started to place the marine armor on him, after releasing him from his shackles.

"Prisoner 626." said a low voice, of one certain evil tyrant. "Murderer. Pirate. Traitor. Today you are being released." Different machines came to motion. "But soon you will realize…" rotors and engines sped up. "That even freedom… has a price." First machine placed a chestplate on the shackled, by a pair of robotic arms, human. Machines placed pieces of armor and attached them together forming the old blue armor around the convict.

"Your prison will always be with you. Welcome to your new cage. You should know… the war is coming. And it will bring as much glory as it will bring suffering. But go forth mister Findlay. Freedom awaits."

Now recognized as Findley, marine took a drag from the cigar in his mouth and said:

"Damn! It has been far too long."

Several days later. Mar Sara.

Mar Sara. So many years ago everything started here. And right now Jim Raynor found himself here once again with a glass of whiskey in his hand.

"To the other news." can be heard from the dynamics of the television. "Emperor Arcturus Mengsk held the press-conferential devoted to the fourth anniversary of the end of so-called "Brood Wars", on the conferential was Kate Lockwell."

"Emperor." continued the female voice. "The threat of the new Zerg invasion is still high. But instead of increasing the army, you spend millions on search for former rebels. Such as Jim Raynor."

"Jim Raynor is a threat to the Dominion!" continued the familiar voice of Mengsk. "This immoral rebel spreads chaos and fear across the whole sector! His band of savages provoked the rebellion in six colonies and stole the great amount of weapons and technology."

As he spoke Jim pushed away the glass and took in his hand a photo with a beautiful, red-haired woman on it. He looked in the green eyes of the woman lost to him, because of Arcturus' machinations and all sounds slowly disappeared from the world.

"But I assure you that the criminal will be brought to justice for his crimes... and very soon." said Mengsk. this returned Jim from his stupor.

Jim pointed his old revolver at the screens with Mengsk and said: "First catch me, you son of a bitch." Then he pulled the trigger.

"He pushed the button on the case and hologram of the Adjutant appeared before him. "Adjutant, the troops are prepared for battle?" asked he.

"Ready and waiting your command, commander. Downloading the tactical data." replied the AI.

"Good. Our revolution got a bit rusty. Time to speed it up." said Raynor standing up.

"Adjutant. What do we have here?" asked James.

"Dominion is using the Backwater station as main transport point on Mar Sara. Through it they are passing all the cargos. Recently main part of the forces left the Backwater station weakening the defenses of the station."

"How are locals reacting?" asked James.

Local are against the Dominion, but they lack the weapons and organization. If we will get the station from Mengsk, he will not be able to return his power over Mar Sara for a long time. Prepare the ship."

Going out of the bar, he didn't notice how something followed him, cloaked.

Several hours later.

James, now clad into his black armor ornamented with different paintings, turned to his men. "Well, boys? Shall we show locals, that Dominion, shouldn't be feared?"

They moved with caution, even if defenses were thin there were still more of them than Raiders. 'Scatter around!" ordered Jim. "Stay sharp and don't show them your backs." Naruto, still cloaked followed them prepared to cover the rebels if there will be a need in it.

Not that he was with Raynor, but sure as hell he was against Dominion.

They passed the containers, which served as homes for local people. Dogs ran away barking as they passed by, "Don't go by that road." warned them one of the locals, who stood near her home. However they continued their path.

Further down the road, three dominion marines stood, guarding the way.

One of them saw them. "What? Raynor!? Kill…" barrage of bullets turned them into lifeless piles flesh and metal. They went further, however they stopped near the holo-proector, with figure of Mengsk.

"Keep a close look on your neighbors. Don't let the dissidence destroy our unity!" Behind was the billboard, whatever was on it was hidden by giant words made by green paint: "MENGSK IS LYING!" was the sentence. Whatever he was speaking sound really hypocritical with something like that on the background.

"Commander." said Adjutant. "Destruction of these holo stands will help people to rise against the oppression."

"I'm nearly puking from Mengsk's sight. Shoot it, boys!" ordered Jim and opened the fire first.

They got to another settlement. It met them with lifeless street and three Dominion's marines.

"Where's everyone?" asked James putting a bullet into the head of the last Dominion marine. They managed to find a beaten man who stood on his knees near his home.

"My family… My neighbors…" moaned he and cried.

"I don't like this." said Raynor, checking his ammo, unknown to him cloaked Naruto did the same.

"Commander, center of the town is fortified by Dominion forces." warned Adjutant.

"Then it's time to send them our best regards."

Several drop pods landed in the center of the town, adding even more destruction to those made by Dominion. Raiders prepared themselves to kill and die, however to their and Dominion's forces surprise, half of Dominion soldiers fell to the earth leaking blood from their armor.

Raynor didn't care what happened he used the opportunity and opened fire killing and wounding the remaining enemy's forces. "Looks like we are not alone here." thought Raynor. "I hope this will not hinder our mission." He turned to the marines.

"It's good to see you, Raynor. We are at your command." said one of them.

"Good, let's destroy the stands with Mengsk." said Jim.

"For the betterment of Humanity, we are prepared for any sacrifice…" Megsk's voice drowned in screams of his soldiers and shooting sounds.

"We will protect you." Said another hologram before James made it silent. They passed the burning carapaces of machines and houses. 'Well, shit!" said Raynor, looking around. They walked a bit forward and saw a crowd of civilians before the armed transport, which stood near the gates, guarded by dominion soldiers.

"Finally! I can see the civilians!" said Raynor to his man.

"After you will get to archeological site, you will be fed." heard they the voice of one of the marines.

"My brother was sent to the mines on last week, since then I haven't heard about him. He slowly stepped back and consumed by his fear ran away.

"Wait!" two soldiers opened fire.

"They are killing civilians!" said Raynor. "Move on!"

Raiders fell on them like wrathful spirits on sinners, barrage of bullets destroyed the first line of defense, grenade from Raynor dealt with the transport, and several bullets silenced another hologram of Arcturus.

"Mengsk will answer for a lot of things." muttered the head of the Raiders.

"Thank you Raynor, we knew that you will not leave us behind." said one of the civilians.

"Closer to the post they are keeping more colonists." said another civilian, one of the few females, who were brought along, by Dominion soldiers.

"we will deal with it." said Raynor.

They passed the gates and instantly silences another hologram of the Mengsk. "Marshal. It's been a while." said one of the civilians, who came to greet them behind the gates.

"We are with you Raiders!" screamed the other.

One giant crowd followed Raynor to the base of Dominion.

"This is restricted area, stand…" tried to say the commanding officer, before he got shut up by the Molotov cocktail, which was used by the yesterday civilians as their main weapons. Chaos broke lose, fire engulfed buildings everything, flammable or not was caught in it. Soldiers of Dominion ran in the flames, finished by the Raiders if they managed to get from the fire.

Dominion soldiers, hoped that arrival of the Vikings will change the tide, however psionic fields crushed them into the three piles of metal.

"Raynor and others didn't lose any time given to them, several moments later station was burnt to the ground.

"I never thought that we can stand against them." said one of the females in cheering crowd. "But it looks like we can."

"Now you have weapons and recourses to do so." said Raynor. "Don't let Mengsk put you to your knees again."

"Now." he turned to see how Naruto uncloaked behind him. "Don't let me sound wrong, I'm really thankful that you helped us today, but, who the Hell are you."

Blonde smiled behind his helmet. "Call me benefactor, mister Raynor. My partner told me a lot about you. If you don't know, you are famous, in certain circles. He send me to see for myself, that you are as rumors describe you."

"Well you saw me what now?" asked Raynor.

"On behalf of my partner, I propose a deal to you, James Raynor." said Spectre.

"What kind of a deal?" asked Jim.

"We need to collect a certain… recourses." Said Naruto. "But to get the recourses we so desperately need, we need a professional crew, who can take and throw a punch and really large ship. And James Raynor is rumored to have both."

"I will think about me. Right now… follow me." said James.

Mar Sara. Bar "Joeray's" . Sometime later.

Raynar took another glass of whiskey, while Naruto was nowhere to be seen. Doors opened and a figure in worn-out, blue Marine armor interred the bar letting the sands and hot wind of Mar Sara into the room. Large metal boots stomped to James, who slowly moved his hand closer to his Colt.

"You know…" his voice distorted by dynamics of the armor was unrecognizable. "For main criminal in the sector, you are rather easy to find. I decided to visit you." his helmet opened. "Little Jimmy Raynor… People's hero."

"Hm." James, let go of the Colt and took the glass. "Tychus Findlay. In a suit."

"Saves from surprises."

"I heard you got freezed." said James. "Till the end. What? They gave you a cut for a good behavior?"

"Yeah, bro… I'm exemplary citizen, now." said Tychus pulling the cigar out of his moth amd smashing it into the table, killing a fly in the process.

"And what do I owe the honors?" asked Jim.

"I want to propose you a deal, for old time's sake." said Tychus. "Do you know why Dominion's forces are here?"

Jim shook the bottle. "No, but you will tell me."

"They are searching for xeno artifacts, pal." said Tychus, taking the bottlem which James stretched his arm to. "And I know someone, who will pay a lot of money, for every artifact, which we will…" he shook the bottle. "Free from Dominion."

"Such a deal is to sweet to pass by." Said James "Isn't, Tychus?"

"Then deal?" asked Findlay, pouring a glass full with whiskey. "Sixty to forty." said he pushing the glass to the Raynor.

"Seventy to thirty." replied Jim. "To my credit."

Tychus smiled, and raised a bottle,

James laughed "Just like a good ol' times. Eh, Tychus?"

Two glasses and bottle met in the air. To Tychus surprise, there was one more human in the room.

"Who the hell is that, Jimmy?"

"My another client. Tychus he is a rouge Ghost, going by codename Wild. Wild, this is my old friend Tychus Findlay." said James.

"Glad to meet you." said Naruto placing several bottles of alcohol in front of him. "A small token of friendship, please enjoy it with me."

"He isn't half-bad for a Ghost." said Tychus pouring another glass.

James turned on the TV, while they enjoyed their drinks. "This is a live transmission from our UNN studio on Korhal and with you am I, Donny Vermillion. Our special correspondent on Mar-Sara Kate Lockwell is prepared to tell us the shocking news. Kate?"

Scene changed to Mar-Sara's sand dunes. "Thank you, Donny! Infamous rebel James Raynor, once again strikes an attack against Dominion and suffice to say his return was very spectacular. Raynor and his Raiders attacked the base of Dominion near Backwater station, they stole money and weapons and gave it to local citizens."

"Kate." said Donny. "I'm sure that locals aren't appreciating an appearance of such notorious criminal as Jim Raynor near their homes?"

"Truth to be told, Donny, people I spoke to…" started Kate, but Donny instantly interfered.

"Thank you Kate. So Jim Raynor is terrorizing the peaceful citizens of Mar-Sara." continued his line Donny "To the other news, do your children use stimulators?"

"Talk as much as you want, Donny." said James. "This is just the beginning."

"What is worse is that we cannot kill him." said Naruto. "Mengsk will use his death against us."

"I agree, but I hope we will think something out." said James. Then he turned to Tychus. 'Maybe it isn't something I should stick my nose in… But how did you manage o get free?"

"WEEEL, I broke the door of freezing chamber, when I was relocated to "New Folsum". Damn, I killed more than a dozen of security forces with my bare hands..."

James laughed. "Yeah, yeah. I heard that somewhere. Tell also as you walked on water and seduced the daughter of prison's Head Guard."

"Don't be rude, boy! I heard, how you became a great freedom fighter, while I was in my cell. What the hell, Jimmy? War for justice and truth was too tough for you?"

"it's too early to put a crest on me." said Raynor. "I promise, one way or other… The days of Mengsk's tyranny are numbered."

"And what do you think, kid? asked Tycjus.

"Well, I can walk on the water just fine, also I suppose Head Guards can have daughters and when I got away from the laboratory I killed more, than a hundred men… Why are you looking like that at me?"

James laughed.

His laughter, however got silenced, when he looked at the board with photos

"Sara…" thought he. "Sometimes I think it would have been better, if you… died that day."

"Tychus seeing his interest too looked at the board. "I haven't seen that one before, is it your work Jimmy?" asked he pointing at the photo of cheering people on broken Viking.

"Wild dealt with him. And Locals were prepared to rise against Mengsk. They just needed a little push." said James.

"You are taking this revolution of you're a bit too seriously." said Tychus.

"Everyone has a hobby, Tychus." responded Jim saluting him with glass of whiskey.

Naruto was silent during this conversation, he was behind the bar stand taking care of bottles and glasses. "It must be the strangest bar ever." thought he "Strictly for baddasses, if even a barman here is a rouge Spectre."

James pushed the button on the case, ordering Adjutant to show then their next target.

"It's seems like an old Dominion base, what the hell do we need there?" asked James looking at the sight before him.

"Don't be so fast to judge." said Tychus. "Dominions are digging there for several months. See this." Tychus pointed at what they protected. "They dug out a xeno artifact and preparing to get it out."

"May I be damned." muttered Jim.

"See, you need to trust people sometimes, Jimmy." said Tychus.

"Well, lets bring them Hell." said Jimmy. "Let's destroy the base and get this baby out."

Sometime Later. Outskirts of archeological site. Mar-Sara.

James and his warriors, alongside Tychus and Naruto landed near Command Center of the Raiders.

"We nned more recourses, boys. Scatter and try to find something around here." Ordered James to his marines, while workers started to gather minerals. Marines searched around and found recourses left to be transported. Whoever left them will not find them, Raiders can put them to good use.

Dominion soldiers attacked them nearly ten minutes later, they were rather aggressive but Naruto's skills dealt with them. James send a group of marines with three medics to scout around the base. He couldn't take the chances witt Dominion forces, especially with their base being so close.

Marines found a squad of Dominion's forces, who guarded recourses, which were prepared to be send to the main base.

The gathering of marines was interfered by the Adjutant.

"Commander, Dominion's forces are attacking the rebel base on south-west."

"Good. That will give us additional time." said Tychus.

"Tychus those people need our aid, we cannot leave them." said James, preparing his gun. Growling Tychus followed him, with Naruto and Raiders right behind them. They reached the rebel base just in time.

"Fucking rebels." said a Dominion's marine, who found himself under fire from two sides.

"You are just in time." said one of the rebels. "We always pay our debts, so if you need something… just ask."

"Welcome to the team, guys." said James.

"Attention!" said Adjutant. "Incoming enemy's Hellions." barrage of bullets and grenades, however, stopped them. Raiders forces pushed Dominion's further to the archeological sites. Naruto kissed the grenade and threw it into the bunker, killing all, who were inside and destroying the building in process.

"He easily dealt with that bunker, Jimmy." said Tychus. "With such soldiers and my connections we will achieve a lot of things."

Near Command Center, however, they met a Siege Tank. But with Naruto and superior numbers even that wasn't a problem. Barrage of bullets and explosive packets soon turned all Dominion's buildings into burning carapaces.

Finally, Raiders prepared to take their prize.

"Entering the control systems of the crane. Decryption of commands. Control of the crane is taken." said Adjutant.

"Good." said Tychus. "All that is left is to get up this baby and get out of here."

Several hours later. Mar-Sara. Bar "Joeray's".

They sat behind the bar stand and enjoyed different types of alcohol after the successful mission.

"So… who is your mysterious buyer, Tychus? Who are we giving the artifacts?" asked James.

"Some kind of eggheads. Their organization is called Moebius Foundation." replied Tychus.

"Moebius Foundation?" asked Jim. "They are very respected scientific group. What kind of deals they are having with you?"

"Since your pal Mengsk, put a veto on research of the xeno artifacts, poor scientist are forced to go to excessive means to continue their research. And I'm very famous patron of the science, Jimmy, you know this yourself."

Naruto turned on the television.

"Thank you for the interest to our program." said annoying, little fucker, going by the name Donny Vermilion, "Kate Lockwell , from Mar-Sara, with details about bloody rebellion of Jim Raynor."

"Thank you Donny. Appetites of Jim Raynor are surely growing, he and his Raiders attacked the archeological base of Dominion and judging by information we have, stole dangerous xeno artifact."

"Just today Emperor Mengsk shared his point of view about this topic." on screen appeared Mengsk behind the tribune.

"It's hard to imagine, what kind of chaos, can unleash upon our worlds, harmless on first sight, artifacts. Anyone, who will be found, keeping such things will be punished, accordingly to the law."

"Don't worry, partner. They will put a bounty on your head either way." said Findlay.

"Thanks Tychus." replied Jim.

"At least there will be a guaranteed reward. Moebius Foundation are ruled by some serious people." said Naruto. "Just don't tell them that I'm with you, some may had invested in that laboratory, I fled from."

"It's terrifying, Kate, As far as I can tell the terroristic operation of James Raynor cost their lives to many civilians?"

"It's really hard to tell, but it was really an eagerness of Dominion's soldiers to start a fight, which led to few causalities…"

"Thank you Kate. So, we are following the events of the bloody drama, James Raynor is killing the children and women on Mar-Sara."

Tychus tried to change the topic seeing how the phrase about "women and children" cut deeper in his friend, that he should had let. He looked upon the skull of the Zerg nailed to the wall.

"How was it? To fight Zerg?" asked Findlay.

"All that troubles we got into and nearly failed to get our asses out of it…" James took a gulp from the glass in his hand. "Are nothing compared to the Zerg, Tychus." he turned his face to the skull. "Because when you find yourself alone, face-to-jaws, against the thousand of these sons of the bitches… only then will you found out what is the true meaning of fear."

"I must say Jimmy..." said Tychus, seeing how Naruto placed a "Fight for the Freedom" list, with Raynor upon it, on the board."You became a real freedom fighter. On Megsk's place I too would have shit my pants."

"Are you serious?"

'He, of course not!"

Then he saw another photo on the board. "What is it? I thought that Protoss had burned all the Zerg on the planet several years ago." said he, seeing the photo from Annual Hydralisk hunt.

"Four years passed and in wastelands still can be found their lairs." said Raynor.

"You know…" started Tychus. "For such kind of trophy we can raise a lot of money on black market. Let's go and hunt."

"Go if you wish." said James. "I fought with them enough. For several lives actually."

Tychus looked in the other direction, seeking something that can be a subject of their talk.

"That's something I can't understand." said he pointing at his marshal star. "How they could make someone with your record a marshal of Mar-Sara?"

"That was the trick." Said James. "When I was the marshal, criminals. Knowing my reputation went into hiding. For all the time I wore the badge, I wasn't forced to shoot anyone."

"Booring." commented Tychus.

"Soon my boys will get there to take us and the artifact." said James. "Till that time we need to sat on our asses and not get into any kind of mess."

"I'm always for this." said Findlay "I think we deserve a couple of hours of rest."

"Commander." said Naruto "Scanners shows a lot of biosignals from Zerg near the mines."

"How could I be so blind?" asked Raynor. "Tychus, I hope you die and rot in deepest pit of Hell!"

"I didn't know anything about Zerg, I swear!" said Findlay.

"If the Zerg will follow the current course, after one hour they will take the base." voiced the calculations, Adjutant.

"Fuck we need to hold till Matt and others will arrive." Said James. "If we will place the marines inside the bunkers and manage to hold the bridges, then we will have our chance. The fight will be bloody."

"Oh, come on… we were in a lot of fights like this." said Tychus.

"Yeah. But there were no Zerg there." said James.

"Commander this isn't all." said Naruto.

"What the Hell can be more wrong than the fucking Zerg Swa…" words died on his lips as the alien ship of unknown design crushed into the earth of Mar-Sara. "What the…?"

"It looks like we have additional guests." said Naruto. "Permission to check?"

"Yes boy. Go and check. Also check the local area for any humans. Before the Zerg attacked we need to evacuate as many as we can."

Ten minutes later. Outskirts of the base.

Ship fell beyond the bridges, closer to the zerg lines, than to the terran's, Naruto and squad of his marines, went on search for the unknown ship. Meanwhile Raynor and Tychus fortified the base and took their place in bunkers, alongside the other Raiders.

While Naruto managed to get to the ship and secure the Territory, Zerg attacked the left bridge. "Here they are! Pick your target!" screamed one of the marines, who lacked his left eye, which was replaced by cybernetic implant.

Zerglings wasn't as dangerous as Roaches, which spit an acid on the enemies of the Swarm, however, protected by the bunkers' armor Marines dealt even with them.

"All who hear that message, we are surrounded near the Backwater station. We need help!"

"Boy can you hear this?" asked the voice of Jim Raynor through his com-link. Naruto raised his hand to his ear and answered "Yeah, on it."

"How is it going with ship?" asked James.

"We need a bit more time, but soon we will enter the ship, anyway I will get more boys through this saving missions, so, don't worry." said Naruto running to the place of destination and preparing his weapon.

Zerg appeared from the earth, met with the bullets from Raider's guns.

"I thought it was the end of us." said one of the marines, who fought with them, before Raiders arrived. When they returned to the ship's crash side, marines finally managed to crack it open. Inside of the ship they found survivors. Most of them were humanoid, had a blue skim and resembled humans greatly, the only difference were a bunch of semi-flexible, cartilage based scalp crests, which grew into shape.

They all seemed to be females, judging by certain body parts, aside from them there was another type of alien, it too was a female, but she was of much smaller and slighter built, than humans and unknown species, Naruto couldn't see her face, but three fingered hands and legs, with legs being of different shape, told him that this was certainly different kind of alien.

And last one, the biggest of them all, clad in red armor was some kind of lizard. Naruto thought it was male, but he couldn't say for certain.

Following his orders marines get them out of the ship, along with supplies that were on it. They will await evacuation alongside the wounded.

"Located the group of flying Zerg." said Tychus voice through his com-link. "Time of arrival? Right fucking now!" jumping through the long distances Naruto get from the commanding center to the turrets.

Due to his psionic abilities and excellent marksmanship, alongside with courage and barrage of bullets unleashed by his men, Mutalisks were stopped easily, but after the battle Naruto closed the eyes of his two dead squad mates.

"Help! Help! We are surrounded by Zerg!" Naruto and his squad once again responded to the call. Sights of Mar-Sara slowly changed, Zerg bombarded the surface with thousands of spores, which had the Creep.

That terraforming organism was slowly covering Mar-Sara.

"Guys, we are so glad to see you!" screamed the marine, who judging by his voice send the distress call. "Get us out of here!" With saved marines was one medic, so their group, now heald, with Naruto guarding the end went in direction of the base.

However, Zergs had other plans. Waves of Zerglings followed them in hope of killing at least one of them. With their numbers and rate of hatching, Zerg can change even thousand of their species for one human and still had enough to wage war with Protoss.

Waves of Mutalisks became bolder, they attacked the center of the base, passing the lines of defense, not caring about their losses. Naruto put another clip with ammo in his gun. He heard the voice of Raynor somewhere to the right of him. Looks like his com-link was dead, because others heard him loud and clear.

"Hold the line! Help is on the way." screamed he.

"Naruto didn't care, his squad helped the protectors of the bridge to repel the waves of Banelings.

"We need help ASAP! We are completely surrounded! Can anybody hear me?!" Naruto changed the com-link, only to find out that another group of survivors needed help.

"Kid, go to them." Heard he the voice of Raynor, already running to the position of marines, followed by his men. Spores of Zerg fell near them, scattering Creep and forces of the Zerg. He couldn't see anything because of blood of the Zerg he was covered in, he couldn't hear anything because of the barrages of shoots, which his squad unleashed upon the Zerg.

So he couldn't say, when they reached the marines.

"It's good to see you Raynor, we are waiting for your commands." said their leader, when they got them to safety.

Zergs once again continued their assault. Through his com-link Naruto heard the assuring voice of Raynor. "We need to hold on a bit more. We will get out of here soon."

Zergs changed their tactics, they started to target the base with their spores, scattering the Zerglings everywhere. Fight was fast yet brutal, Raiders didn't expect the attack from behind, putting a bullet between the eyes of the last Zergling, Naruto looked around. Defensive lines were holding still, but several raiders were placed in the body bags. One of them was from Naruto's squad.

Waves of Mutalisks were met with barrage of rockets and mobile squad of Naruto dealt with zerglings, when they heard a new voice in their com-link.

"Commander, this is Matt Horner. Hold on! The ship is on its way."

"Don't hurry so much, Matt." said Raynor, turning another Roach into pile of bloody flesh. "We still have plenty of time."

Hyperion arrived, cleansing the Zerg, killing them by rocket explosions. Barrage upon barrage of the rockets cleansed the earth through fire, leaving nothing but dust from the Zerg.

"The carriage is here." said Matt, ordering to shoot the Nihdus worms by the weapons of 'Hyperion'. "Is there someone alive yet?" asked he.

"Good to see you Matt, as you can see we are having fun, will you join?"

"It's good that I'm on time, sir. Now let's get you out of here."

Orbit of Mar-Sara. Board of 'Hyperion'. Ten minutes later.

"Fuck, Jimmy. You didn't tell me a lot of things." said Tychus, looking around the captain's bridge, on the 'Hyperion'. "You were nearly late Matt."

"I had never let you down, sir." responded Matt.

"That's right." laughed Raynor. "Let's get out of here!"

Matt nodded and started barking the orders. "All batteries open the frontal fire! Start the engines two and six!" swarms of the Mutalisks behind the armor of the ship came closer and closer. "Jump on my command." said Matt looking at his watch. Raynor gripped the cigar in his jaws, while Tychus grabbed the iron bar, to not fall in his armor.

Naruto remained calm.

"Jump." ordered Matt.

They get from the warp-space near the star in far away system.

"Why did the Zerg returned?" asked Raynor, stopping near Matt. 'Why did they attack Mar Sara now?"

"Not only Mar-Sara. Look" said Matt turning on the television.

"…full-scale attack…"

"…many border worlds destroyed…"

"…countless dead…"

"Zergs attacked the center of military research." explosion stopped the transmission.

"Holy Mother of God…" muttered Tychus as he looked at the screen.

"Exclusive tape proves that swarm is led by Queen of Blades." Kerrigan has returned and judging by those, who followed, with very certain intention.

Raynor fell to the chair heavily.

"We knew that she will return" said Matt. "But what she needs?"

"She came to end what she started." replied Raynor.

Captain Board of 'Hyperion'. Fourteen minutes later.

"Who knows, what we will face this time. Sir, we need to prepare to the worst, check the weapons and supplies."

"Yes. I will talk to the Swann in the arsenal. Maybe he created something new." said Raynor.

"I'm not really fond of asking this… But, why this convict is still on my board?" asked Matt looking on Tychus.

"Easy there Matt." said Raynor. "He… get me out of some really nasty situation, ten years ago. I owe him great for this.

"But your friend has a list of crimes longer than…"

"Not as long as mine." cut him Raynor. "Trust me if Tychus Findlay wanted me dead. I would have been dead for a long period of time."

"Well, do as you wish, sir."

"All is really that bad?" asked Rayner after several minutes of silence.

"Messages of Zerg attacks comes from the whole sector. Mengsk ordered all fleets to retreat to the core worlds of Dominion, leaving the border worlds without protection. It's hell commander."

"We cannot stop this with one ship and a bunch of soldiers."

"Then let's not get into the fire. We will raise some money on Moebius and than see what will come next. Maybe it will stop without our interference." said Tychus.

"Looks like you don't understand. Nothing will stop. Zerg will not stop. Until there are still alive humans." said Matt grimly.

"Don't be so angry Matt. Nobody's going to sit this down." said Raynor. " We are just not in our best form right now. We need to get money, rally people, get armed, only then we can do something."

"Yeah that's what I meant." said Tychus. "By the way, awesome ship Jimmy. Where did you get this flying fortress?"

"Before 'Hyperion' was flagship of Mengsk, me and Matt 'liberated' it, when our ways with Arcturus parted. 'Hyperion" got us from many troubles."

"By the way about the troubles, Tychus. Why are you going around in this armor?" asked Matt.

"Really… What's up? Your zipper got stuck?" asked Rayner.

"Okay…" said Tychus "You got me. I had a little help with getting from the prison. And while I will not pay for it… I'm stuck in this suit."

"And who do you owe?" asked Raynor, narrowing his eyes. "Who released you?"

"Moebius Foundation, of course. James I didn't met them in museum. They needed these artifacts."

"Don't get us in your deals Tychus." said Jim. "We didn't agree to pay your debts for you."

"If it's like this I can help."

Crimson energy hit Tychus and his armor fell to the floor, now in parts. Naruto took something from pile of metal.

"Dead-man switch. Had something like that in my armor before. Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" asked Naruto.

"Looks like I owe you now, kid." said Tichus, now clad only in his baggy prison pants.

"Get yourself some new closes Tychus. Kid, how are our guests?" asked Jim.

"One of them will get up soon, the one, who was in black dress."

"Wait, wait, wait. What kind of guests?"

Naruto left James to tell Matt that they now had more than sixty sexy aliens on their ship.

Medbay.

Matriarch Benezia tried to open her eyes. She floated in the ocean of darkness and her memory slowly returned to her. She remembered, how turians got in contact with new species. Got their asses handled to them.

Furious Generals of Hierarchy sent their fleets to teach new species a lesson. Only to be met by hundreds of the dreadnought class ships. Turian Fleets slowly were forced to retreat, after fortifying the systems captured by them, new species attacked the Hegemony.

Forced to do at least something, asari council listened to Benezia and decided to create a group to establish a diplomatic relationship with new species. Benezia herself decided to go. With her however, went her daughter, and another matriarch… Aethyta. Her 'husband'.

Council decided that Aethyta will be the one, who prepared the ship for the mission.

Right now she was glad for it, were it not for her preparations they would be dead for sure. Her previous ship would have been destroyed instantly; they however, managed to get to Mass Relay.

Only disrupted by the shoot of one of the enemy's ship, they were sent in other direction. Once again she blessed her once husband, because the mercenaries she brought with her Krogan, who managed to land the ship, and little quarian, who managed to maintain the engines long enough, so they will not exp[lode right in the air, saved their lives.

Both she and Aethyta brought thirty asari commando each. With her daughter, her right hand maiden, Shiala, krogan, quarian and asari SPECTRE assigned to this mission by Council there were sixty seven members in her crew.

Suddenly she opened her eyes. Something felt strange, why did she remember everything in such detail?

"Because I forced you to." said thevoice in her head. Benezia smiled looks like she hit her head to hard.

"Turn your head to the right." Benezia forced by unknown power did as was asked. She found herself on a bed in medical bay, to her right stood an imposing figure in dark armor. Blazing red visors stared in her eyes.

"I give you a choice, Matriarch Benezia, judging by the thoughts I read from your mind, your kind can use some sort of psychic link. You will use that on me and receive knowledge of our language. Then you will share it with others."

Benezia nooded. And her eyes turned black.

Twenty minutes later.

After mercenaries, her daughter, 'husband', SPECTRE and her student woke up. She gave they the 'key' enabling them to speak in human language. Matriarch Benezia left the other asari in care of Shiala and Aethyta.

So many melds were rather… problematic to deal with.

She get to the Wild, as the one, who spoke to her telepathically, called himself. 'Judging by the marks on the battle cruisers, which you described, you fought with Dominion. That's bad."

"Why?" asked Benezia coming closer.

"Emperor Mengsk, who leads the Dominion, is xenophobic bastard and genocidical tyrant. That's why." said Naruto.

"Okay, we got it." said the quarian. "Maybe you can tell us where are we?"

"You are on board of 'Hyperion', it's a ship of rebel group, called Raynor's Raiders." said Naruto. "We are fighting against Dominion."

"That's really interesting, bad can you get us to the Council Space? I promise you will be paid handsomely." asked Benezia.

"No can do, Matriarch. We are at war, whole sector is under attack and we knew nothing about the war with Council, which meant that only Mengsk and his generals knows where this 'Council Space' is."

"And with whom you are fighting?" asked the lizard-like alien, krogan if he remembered right. "I found in memory of Matriarch Benezia, that in your history was a conflict known as Rachnee war. We are in similar situation. Only it's worse."

"How much?" instantly asked Benezia.

"It cannot be described. You need to see it to understand. Let's just say that your rachnee cannot infect other organisms to turn them into their own, like Zerg do."

Then he led Tali, Aethyta and Benezia, who took her daughter Liara with her, to the board of 'Hyperion'.

He left asari with Matt and took Tali with him, hoping that he will manage to meet Jim in the arsenal.

Several minutes later. Arsenal.

"Oh! Look, who is here!" said Swann, seeing how Jim entered the arsenal. "Our fearless leader. How is it going, cowboy?"

"What's new, Swann?" asked James.

"Nothing new. I'm just updating our small army, god knows for what." replied the main mechanic.

"Upgrading our weapons and armor?"

"Yep. They are all put in the consol. But we will need money for that. A lot of them. I hope you didn't came empty-handed?"

"Listen Swann, I know that with money, in recent times, we had a lot of problems. But that artifact from Mar-Sara will get us all we need."

"I heard this somewhere, brother…"

"Hey, it's different, this time."

"I heard this one too." said Swann. "Wait a minute, who is that?"

James turned to see Wild and the one of the alien girls, which they saved from the crushed ship. The one in the suit. "This is Tali, her true name is much longer, so I will not bother you with it. She is a natural mechanic like all her people. Let her watch your people work, Raynor and you will gain one more skilled worker."

"Swann?"

Head mechanic looked at the thin arms of the girl and clashes his prosthetic claw. "She is a bit to thin… Okay I will take care of her… personally, since that is what you wanted to hear. I hope you will work well." said he turning to Tali .

Timid girl just nodded, hiding behind the Wild, her gaze not leaving the metal arm of the Swann.

Raynor meanwhile smiled and turned to the Swann. "Upgrading what we have is good, but when will we have something new? Arsenal is completely empty."

"When something new is coming through us, I always keep the blueprints to build the machines. If you want something special, give me the blueprints."

Raynor bought upgrade for marines and when he and Wild left, they heard how Swan was talking to Tali.

"Follow me, girl. I will show you all that is needed to know, while you work here."

Several hours later. Board of "Hyperion'.

Benezia stood on the bridge, near the holo-map, alongside her daughter, Raynor, Horner and Wild. In dark corner of the room was Tychus, now clad in simple pants, which greatly resembled those, that wore James and waistcoat on his bare torso. He breathed out a cloud of smoke and made one more drag from his cigar.

Wrex moved to the arsenal. Aethyta, Tela and Shiala, were training their commando there and accustoming to the quarters, given to them by Raiders.

"Report, Matt." finally said Jim.

We received a distress call from the planet Agria. Zerg attacked the agricultural colony. And you friend Tychus, thinks that we should take another artifact from the Monlyth, sacred planet of the protoss."

James pushed the button and tape with young and rather beautiful female, who wore glasses appeared before him.

"Anybody, who hears this message… Zergs attacked Agria. We are just the small agricultural colony. Dominion forces retreated leaving us alone. We need to evacuate people before zerg reached the colony… If you hear this… please help us!"

James made his decision, not even listening to the words of Tychus. They flew to Agria.

"Incoming transmission." said adjutant.

"Thank you for answering my call, commander… I'm doctor Ariel Hanson. I represent people of Agria."

"My pleasure, doc. You can call me Jim. What happened on your planet?" asked James.

"Zergs destroyed our planetary defense. Our planet is doomed. During the past twelve hours we were evacuating people to the nearby spaceport, but number of the zerg is slowly rising and get to the ships is nearly impossible. If you can protect the road, then we will manage to send the colonists in groups, nearly every five minutes."

"Don't worry, doc." said James. "We will get your people to the port safe and sound."

"I hope so." said Ariel. "Zerg are much more terrifying than I thought."

"What I something worse happens?" asked Naruto, when transmission closed.

"What do you mean?" asked Matt, everyone turned their interested gazes to them.

"What if there are infected?"

Heavy silence filled the bridge.

"We will deal with it later." said James. "Prepare my armor."

Half an hour later. Agria. Refugee camp.

Naruto checked his gun as did Raynor, Wrex and Tychus. Asari and Tali were left on the "Hyperion". Wrex went with them because he wanted to test himself against something, that was tougher than rachnee.

Behind them landed their support. Swann send some reinforcements.

"Hey cowboy, I send you Firebats. Today on dinner will be roasted Zergs!" said he through com-link. Soon they found that Zerglings are rather flammable, but they stink to much, when roasted.

"Thank God you are here." said Dr. Handson. "I will give you control over forces and buildings of the colony, so you can help us evacuate.

Raynor gathered his fighters near him and gave them instructions. "Okay boys, our main mission is to help the colonists to get to the spaceport, so they can get out of the planet. Got it? So no running around and hunting zerg."

Skull on his closed visor grinned to his marines.

"First group of colonists is leaving the camp." said Ariel through the com-link.

Civilians slowly get to the transport. "Whatever happens, remember one thing." said the driver. "Don't stop." pair of marine from the colonists followed the transports. Raiders waited them near the entrance to the camp.

"Hmm." said James looking around, while they convoyed the colonists to the spaceport. "Somebody was smart enough to built bunkers near the road, but why they are all empty?" asked he.

Answer came through the com-link, it looks like Arial heard and decided to tell. "When Zergs attacked us, Dominion forces left the bunkers and fled. They didn't care about the fate of the colony."

"Sorry doc." said James. "Well at least they are built in right places. I will send my soldiers there."

Several meters later they were ambushed.

"Colonists are under attack!" screamed one of the marines. "Cover them!" they opened fire and wave of Zerg and hydralisks stopped for a while. Psionic push of the Wild cemented their success.

"It's a long way to the spaceport." said Tychus to Raynor "We cannot secure all the road, what shall we do."

"We can create a mobile squad or build more bunkers… Fortunately we have a leader for the squad, so it will be the former."

"New group of the colonists is ready, commander. Prepare your people." said a soft voice of the Ariel through the com-link.

Naruto cursed and followed by his men ran to the camp. While he was near the spaceport he found a sample for the scientists. Judging by it look it was some kind of chrysalides, nopw he thought where he can find more, to made some good innovations to their army. He was ripped from his thoughts by worried voice.

"Go to the spaceport! Hurry!" it was one of the civilians. Remembering that he still has a work to do, Naruto took his gun and followed the transport.

Zerga are rather crafty bastards, they evolve nearly constantly and unlike humans, who can use only several tactics to repel their forces, they usually used just their numbers. Zerg rash. Waves of the creatures, who evolved, sometimes even in the process of battle, crashes unto the defensive. Usually it takes Zerg several minutes to eliminate any kind of resistance.

That's why Naruto preferred hit-and-run tactics, defenses in war with Zergs were good thing. But only those, which didn't let them get to the planet. After that the planet was doomed. Zergs will change it and turn the planet's protectors into some sort of food for their Hives.

While the stray of thoughts left his consciousness astray, Naruto's body moved on its own, sending Zergs to their deaths.

Gatling gun in hands of Tychus roared, after he heard the screams of one of the marines, that the colonists were under attack. Wrex enjoyed the situation, breaking havoc, using his shotgun. However, swarm of Zerglings, carried by Overlord, managed to destroy the transport, colonists were forced to go by foot.

And it was only half of the path.

Zerg attacked relentlessly, but Raiders managed to get the colonists to spaceport. Then they once again returned to base.

While another group prepared for ride. Naruto's squad searched the lower regions of the territory. They managed to find one more Zerg sample for laboratory. Naruto really hoped that it will help. Zergs came in numbers they weren't prepared for.

Another transport went to the spaceport, Raiders waited for it on the road. This time they were ready for Zergs' ambush. To their surprise attack was two-sided, while overlords got their attention, true ambush came from earth.

Fortunately it was a failure.

Following the transport, they dealt with Zerglings easily, but rare Hydralisks, aimed only at the transports. It was really hard.

However, whatever good mood they had, was destroyed by the message of Matt, that received Raynor.

"Sir, we just got the Zerg signals from the higher level of the atmosphere, I cannot give you coordinates, but they are going your way."

Naruto cursed under his breath, hearing this, while he crushed the Zergling with psionic power, he was out of ammo. Wrex, who fought beside him, also used one of his last bullets for the shotgun. But he used the weapon as some sort of club and managed to even repel Zergs from his position. He wasn't Battlemaster, just for his red colored scales.

On the road back, they managed to acquire another Zerg sample, by Naruto's command they took so needed ammo from the camp and waited for the colonists.

"All right everyone is here! Let's go!" screamed one of the marines from Agria.

"Zergs are on the road!" screamed one of the Raiders. "Fire!" First attack met them near the gates of the cam. Zergs changed their tactics.

Instead of attacks from the earth and sudden relocation of the forces via Overlords, they used spores to attack the colonists. Banelings wounded most in his squad, even Wrex suffered a wound. Unwounded were still he, Raynor and Tychus. But even his stamina had the limits. And Raynor's and Tychus' suits suffered heavy damage.

Finally came the time of the last transport. Once again Matt was the party-pooper.

"Sir, we register the seismic activity near your position. I think it's some sort of underground zerg."

"Great." said Raynor, reloading his gun. "Always the fun, those fucking bastards."

Naruto prepared his psionic powers. He was out of bullets.

Nihdus Worms came out of the earth as fast, as they saw the transport of the colonists. Attacked from several sides, Raiders however didn't panic. They created the circle defense and repelled the enemy's forces.

Worst thing waited them near the spaceport. Zerg didn't want to let this last group away. Spores, Nihdus Worms, they threw everything that they had at their disposal, at that moment on them. And raiders held the line.

Finally the last colonist stepped into the space ship.

"These were the last colonists." said Raynor. "Flew away! Faster!"

"We lost the colony but my people are sve thanks to you, commander.

Board of 'Hyperion'.

"Great operation, sir." said Matt, when Raynor with Naruto behind him got inside."Dr. Hanson decided to join our crew temporally. Her knowledge will help us greatly."

"I can't even believe that I'm here." said Ariel.

"Thank you for this, doc. What are you planning to work on?" asked James.

"Well… medical equipment is rather… lacking and collection of research samples is rather… poor. I will start from this."

"Heh. Maybe you will teach our Stetmann a thing or two." said Raynor. "Well, whatever, welcome aboard."

'Hyperion's' Cantina. Thirty four minutes.

James entered the ship's Cantina and instantly, familiar sounds of clicking bottles, glasses and talks of the crew members entered his ears.

He slowly walked to the table where sat Hill.

"Heard you are back in action, Raynor? Looks like you know about the current situation."

"That's right, mister Hill. To face Zergs and Dominion on two fronts, I will need men. You have somebody in your mind?" asked he.

"When invasion started, my boys found themselves with a lot of contracts." said Hill. "But your barman mades heavenly 'mai-tai', so… of course I will find a couple of squads for you."

"You are the grace itself, mister Hill." said Raynor.

Meanwhile on television once again appeared the annoying face with a mustache. "Donny Vermilion on UNN channel. Our correspondent Kate Lockwell is right now on Agria, border colony of Dominion. Kate, can you hear me?"

Pause.

"I'm sorry we have a technical problems with sound. I got a message that Emperor Arcturus Mengsk, is preparing another conferential. Let's hear him out."

Image changed, showing Mengsk behind the tribune, with a dark skinned male in marine armor behind him. "I summoned best officers of Dominion, to deal with urrent strategical and tactical problems. From this day onward our forces will led the hero of Battle on Torus, General Horace Warfield!"

"Warfield?" asked Raynor "I though he retired."

"Unmatched talent of General Warfield and courage of the soldiers of Dominion will be the main reason of fast and successful repel of Zerg invasion."

Image once again changed to the studio and annoying face of Donny.

"Under the command of the general, army will face Zerg Swarm. Later on UNN: terroristical campaign of James Raynor, coincidence or consequence? Our reportages will show which."

"You saw Dr. Hanson?" asked James Tychus, who sat in front of him.

"Sure." replied he. "Wanted to get a medic evaluation from her. Hey, I just asked, don't look at me like this. Looks like mada, has put her eye on another hunk."

"Really? Who?"

"Don't know. Maybe some prince on white horse, who saved her colony from a swarm of flesh-eating monsters? Jimmy, brother, when will you start to understand women?"

James looked around the cantina, "Funny sometimes I still feel myself as cop. Only now bad guys rule." He stood up and walked to the board of 'Hyperion'.

This time he decided to speak with dr. Hanson.

"I heard about you, commander. Dominion pictures you as some kind of thug and terrorist… But your impression is rather different." said Ariel.

"You saw yourself, what Dominion changed into with years. Somebody must stand for ordinary people. And I don't think it will be Mengsk."

"Emperor doesn't care about us." shook her head Ariel. "My people from Agria and others from different border worlds went to Meinhoff, seeking shelter. From refuge camps constantly comes messages about conflicts and epidemics, but emperor does nothing."

"Iw ill take care of it, doc." said James seriously.

""Colonists got lucky, per se." said Raynor to Matt. "But how mant millions still need help?"

We cannot be everywhere, sir." said Matt. "It's important that we showed example and returned hope to those, who fell to despair. Each time we help people, we are one step closer, to the new, brighter future."

"I know Matt…" said Raynor. But four years past, and we are still stuck on one place, and now Zergs have returned… I hope that your bright future will come soon… or there will be no humanity to see it."

Meanwhile with Naruto.

"That was…" started Matriarch Aethyta.

"Yeah." said Naruto "Zergs gave such impression, when you meet them for the first time. And next time, I fear it will be much worse."

"Yes." said Benezia "We will not sit behind your backs, idly. We will alongside you."

Something groaned in the corner. "I will gladly see you try. These sons of the bitches are tough, maybe even tougher than krogans. And they are countless. You will run out of ammo before you will make some serious damage." said red krogan. "We must somehow deal with them and then with Dominion to get back home."

Everybody got silent.

"Emm, excuse me… Mr. Wild?" asked Liara.

"Just Wild girl what is it?"

"It's about the artifact… What is it?" archeologist in Liara cannot walk by something so ancient as this. And it was ancient it nearly screamed about it.

"Well, I believe it's an artifact of Zel-Naga."

"Zel-Naga? You mean protheans?" asked she.

"I heard about your protheans from Matriarchs Liara. And no Zel-Naga aren't protheans, but without a doubt they were much stronger tan those, who gave such a burst to your sector's civilizations."

"How can you tell something like this?" asked Liara filled with rightful fury. Protheans were her greatest zeal and she will not let anyone top badmouth the. She idolized the race a bit. Not understand that they were rather militaristic, prideful and imperialistic race.

"I can prove this easily. Whatever your dear protheans did. They for sure couldn't create, not change, really create two races."

Now everyone gaped at his words.

Liara couldn't say anything about that, But Matriarchs decided to ask the question that was in the air.

And who were these races?"

"Well you may had heard about one. It's Protoss."

"And the other?"

"Others are called Zergs."
