The marine finally regained consciousness, eyes squinting as he adjusts to the natural light.


"Whe….where am I?" Still groggy from his unconsciousness, head pounding. Last he knew he was on a reconnaissance mission, when he was knocked out cold. His hands bound around a looming palm tree like plant, native to the lush jungle planet he was on.

"You are far from your troops." The creature calmly stated. It was a grayish figure with two large flippers, and it was accompanied by two others, a purple striped tiger-like creature, and a colorful pterodactyl. They all seemed vaguely familiar to the marine, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"What are you? Zerg?! Protoss?!"

"We are neither, nor do we support either. In fact we do our very best to stay out of any politics at all." It became very clear to the marine who they were.

"You guys are…" The marine gaped in horror.

"That's right," the pterodactyl thing interrupted, "critters, the true inhabitants of these worlds……And we are pissed off!"

The purple striped tiger mockingly piped in " How many times was it when we mind our own business, useless wandering, and you yokels come by. 'Hey Billy-Bob les shoot them lil' animal thingys! Lookkiee my stimpack…WOOOO!.' "

"How many times have we lost a brother, sister, father to 'les see if they set off thems goldang mines!'" The pterodactyl began pacing back and forth, seeming to interrorgate the marine.

"Just yesterday I lost my best friend because you civilized people NUKED HIM!"

"And it's not just you. Those dang Protoss, 'Let us take control of their cerebral mental state, for use as protocol observations.' Then they walk us right into the enemy base!" The tiger and pterodactyl nodded in agreement.

"Oh and don't forget those Zerg. They for some reason need to have their zerglings attack us every chance they get. And those parasitic queens! You know what kind of shampoo it takes to get that out!"

"Well……I'm very sorry….I guess." stammered the marine.

"Ohhh it's too late for apologies now." The pterodactyl gave a menacing look.

"Then what do you want!?"

"Revenge….."

The three creatures inched closer and closer to the marine, eyes full of fury and a ravaging look.

"NO!……NO!…..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
