Star Craft Evangelion
Prologue: Infestation
A flash of light lit up the evening gloom in a small park. Very few people came to the park at this time of day and those that do, do not want to be found. The tiny creature that emerged from the light was not aware of any of this, though, and wouldn't have cared even if it was. It resembled a large, purple slug, with what appeared to be a proto-carapace on its back and four black, beady eyes.
The semi-sentient Zerg Larvae was confused. One moment it was happily playing in the creep near the hive, revelling in the song of the Overmind and now it was alone, without the life-sustaining creep or the ever-present Overmind. In a word, it was scared, very scared. But, Zerg are resilient and the young larvae's body knew what to do next, even if its mind didn't. Survive at all costs. It knew that, without the creep, it had but minutes to live, thus its only choice was to infest something quickly. It was in luck, though, as just as it was coming to this though, it was picked up by some other organism. Its body had already begun to rapidly mutate into a form more suited to infesting so, by mere tough, it had consumed the dead cells on the creatures skin and analysed its DNA and what it found pleased it greatly. This creature was Psionic! Granted, the Psionic Potential of the creature was hidden deep and locked under masses of genetic stifling, but so had the ancestors of the Zerg and Protoss at one point too. And such potential it had too! The Larva had made its choice; this creature would become the new Overmind in the absence of the former.
Without hesitation, it bit down and borrowed into the skin of its new host. Its host screamed in pain, before, mercifully, fainting. Now nestled in the flesh of its new host, it merged with it in order to sustain its own life as it recreated it in the Zerg image. The first thing it did was seek out the Psionics of its host, unlocking and enhancing it. However, once it had completed this objective, in ran across something it did not expect. Another mind, one that was powerful, far more powerful than its own Overmind, one that resonated with its own genetics and made it feel a deep, primal fear; a fear that overshadowed its fear of death and disconnection with the Overmind. A fear that brought with it one thought: 'Xel'Naga!'
It would be the first true thought the Larvae would ever have and its last.
