Prologue
*** Ulnar aka The Cradle of Life ***
Heirarch Artanis looked around at his weary allies on the battle field where a mighty battle raged against the fallen one's forces. Broken Terran vehicles and destroyed Protoss equipment littered the ground. Now, after all of that intensive fighting, the battle came down to a duel between the onetime scourge of the galaxy and the Fallen One.
High above them, Kerrigan was firing a powerful beam of energy, power given to her by the Xel'Naga themselves. The Protoss had done their job and took care of Amon forces. He had given them the order to retreat while he stayed behind to see things through. Unfortunately, his companions refused to leave his side. The ever reliable Karax, the steadfast Selendis and last, the Matriarch of the Dark Protoss, Vorazun.
"The battle is about to conclude Heirarch," Selendis' musical thoughts notified him as the duel above them reached a new crescendo. "Kerrigan might not have enough energy to finish the fight."
"Then we shall assist her one final time," Artanis would snort if he was human. He gathered the energies of the Light and Dark sides of the Protoss psi energies. Even as the backwash from the energies from the two godly beings continued to destroy the area.
"You will, but not alone," Vorazun's firm voice chimed in as she grabbed onto Artanis' shoulder and channeled all of her dark energies to him.
"I stand by your side always, Heirarch," Selendis went to his other side and also began to channel the light side of her energies.
"As do I!" Karax spoke up as he pushed what little energies he had into Artanis. He was in awe of the leader of their race as he meld both dark and light together seamlessly.
"Then my friends," Artanis proudly declared. "For Auir!"
"FOR AIUR!" The three Protoss echoed even as Artanis fired a powerful beam of Psionic energy at Amon.
It was like a knife striking without warning. It was not enough to kill, and Amon could survive the wound. However, the momentary distraction provided by the attack was capitalized on by Kerrigan and she was able to overpower Amon's beam.
Unfortunately the moment it struck, Amon's powerful essence detonated like a supernova and killed the mortal beings while knocking the new Xel'Naga out cold.
+++ Later +++
Kerrigan finally opened her eyes and surveyed the destroyed area. In the spot where Amon once stood, the energy of creation now thrived. She looked around and sensed Jim far away, safe even as the opening closed to this plane of existence. She would have to find another way out, probably cross dimensions to do it.
The Protoss Fleet likewise escaped intact. Their leaders however did not.
After the years of bitter hatred between them, it was Artanis who allowed her the chance to achieve victory. She bowed her head in respect for a valued ally and a deadly adversary. That was when she felt it, sparks, embers really, the souls or rather, psychic emanations of what was once the Protoss leaders.
Reaching out she called their souls to her and saw four distinctly colored lights float towards and around her. Artanis shined the brightest of pure white. Karax was a soft blue, Selendis glowed a powerful golden color, while Vorazun was a dark green with a dark tinge mixed in.
"Hah hah," Kerrigan laughed in amusement as she held the sparks of their souls in her hand letting them circle around freely.
"I guess you four would have to journey with me for a bit until I find my way back to Jim."
And they did, for three years the sparks were kept safe by Kerrigan, until she accidentally pulled into a world infested with a strange energy and lost the four sparks. By the time she found them they had already bonded to the humans of an odd world called Remnant.
"Ah, well..." Kerrigan was at a loss for words as her senses perceived the four Protoss souls absorbed by four women of that world. They were going to be reborn as humans.
"Well they are a long-lived race, they can cope…. Probably."
Before Kerrigan departed she was able to imprint a psychic suggestion in the Protoss new human mothers. At least they would retain their original names if nothing else.
***Atlas***
Dr. Polendina received the bad news while he was working on the program for his latest project. His daughter had passed away during child birth. As the next of kin they notified him. Wiping the tears away, he put in a request for leave from the Atlas military as he went to pick up his grandson.
"I am sorry for your loss," a robotic voice chimed up at the work station. It was neither male nor female. He had yet to decide.
"Thank you P-001," Dr. Polendina took of his glasses to wipe away the tears from his heartache. "Well, little Karax is waiting for me. I'll see you in a bit P-001."
"Good Journey Doctor."
*** Vale ***
"One more push ma'am!" the nurse encouraged Juniper Arc as the blonde woman screamed.
"WAAAAHHHH!" A strong voice cried out much to the new mother's relief.
"WAAAAAHHHH!" A second voice sounded out, this one softer than the first one.
"Congratulations Mrs. Arc, you have twins!" The nurse quickly did the clean up so the mother could see her new children.
"One Girl, One Boy."
The new mother was tired and felt drowsy but she WANTED to look at the faces of her new children, more importantly she wanted to name them. Even though it took less than five minutes for the nurses to clean the babies and weigh them, it felt forever for the new mother. Finally they brought the two crying bundles over to her. The first one in her arms was the boy, who became silent immediately upon being held by her. Her heart melted right away. Unfortunately the girl was not that well behave as she struggled and kicked around in her bundle a lot.
"There there," Juniper cooed to the girl who surprisingly must have heard her as she quieted and turned in her direction.
"What will you name them Mrs. Arc?" The Nurse asked politely as she readied the babies' name tags.
"Jaune," Juniper looked down at her son fondly. Her first boy, Nicholas would be so happy. The nurse immediately pulled the boy ankle out and wrapped his name tag around it doing the same for the wrist.
"And for your daughter?"
Juniper smiled softly at the seventh girl in their family. Just when she thought she was going to throw out the girls' older clothes.
"Selendis."
***Menagerie ***
Kali watched her husband coo at their three month old daughter. The little girl clearly took after her more than Ghira's panther bloodline. The little dear was even purring.
"Ghira," Kali almost felt bad for interrupting the heartwarming scene.
"Kali!" Ghira quickly turned to his wife and smiled. "You have news of my sister?"
"It's a girl," Kali answered her husband's unspoken question. Ghira's sister went into labor too suddenly. Unfortunately his work with the White Fang kept him from staying at the hospital. But he had been quite anxious.
"Well, looks like we'll have a little playmate for Blake here!" Ghira's rumbling laugh let Kali know how happy he was regardless.
"What's the girl name?"
"Vorazun."
***Mistral ***
Two men could be seen rushing into the hospital's infant ward. The two collided as they tried to go through the door at the same time making none of them able to.
"Sorry!" The first man was a handsome man with striking red hair tied into a warrior's ponytail. He had a short cut beard and a powerful build denoting him as a huntsman.
"It's okay, it's my fault, I'm anxious to meet my son!" the second man had dark hair that was cut in a neat style and was clean shaven. He wore an expensive looking black business suit. While he was not muscular like the red haired man, he wasn't fat either. If anything he was fit.
"The name's Peleus," the red haired man, Peleus, extended his hand. "Peleus Nikos."
"Priam," the dark hair man, Priam, returned the greeting with an easygoing smile. "Priam Troy."
Peleus smiled as he let go and opened the door for both of them to pass through. Finally they two rushed over to the glass window from where they could see their new born children.
"There she is!" Peleus locked onto a quiet baby girl who was being oddly docile as she moved her eyes and kicked her tiny arms and feet.
"Pyrra?" Priam asked as he read the name tag of the infant. "What a pretty name and she's so well behaved too!"
Peleus could only smile and beam at the compliment before he decided to search for the man's child. He found the Troy baby and looked at the man.
"Artanis huh, a strong name for a boy."
"Would you look at that, they are listed as being born at the same time down to the seconds!" Priam said in genuine surprised awe.
"Well I'll be," Peleus marveled. "Hah, you know that could either mean they will become the best of friends in the future or bitterest of rivals."
With that the two new first time fathers laughed at the jest.
TBC!
AN: Thanks to Thepillfromlimitless for helping to volunteer and fix this chapter!
This just came to me after playing SC2 entire campaign mode and seeing some fan art of humanfied version of the Protoss heroes.
1. Karax will be the weakest fighter of the bunch but good at tech and guns. So he is range support. His semblance is talking to machines.
2. Selendis will be a monster like she was in SC2. However, I can't have both her and Artanis use similar weapons in Psionic Blades. Then I remembered Protoss under Artanis used a Psionic axe. So... Selendis will be using a two hand axe that can convert into a shot gun like thingy. Yes she is Jaune sister and they will go to Beacon together. It would also balance out Jaune Sword and shield defense combo. Her Semblance would be the speed boost Zealot rush in combination of her deadly Axe Whirlwind.
3. Vorazun was easy. She use that duel end sycthe like the game. Her Semblance is even easier, blinking around. Naturally her Sycthe also double as a long range rifle. Yes she is a panther faunus.
4. Artanis was the easiest. Pretty much dual blades like in the game. However, those open up in two so he can fired it. His Semblance is Telekinesis. So you have the whole Hector vs Achillies thing going on. Then the Xaviers and Magneto thing happening. AS for Artanis fighting style. Watch the one where he battle the Zergs all by himself expect stuff like that. Now love interest or bitter rivals.I have no idea yet.
Now imagine this, Human Artanis leading an army of Huntmans and Valen standing in front of the Grim Infested Beacon saying his awesome line from SC2. "Today! We reclaim our HOMEWORLD!"
Shivers up my spine!
Naturally fall of beacon might not even happen, but I want him to say that somewhere.
So Vorazun Black hair, Selendis Blonde, Karax Copperish like Penny and Artanis is brown like his animefied pictures.
Team name would be ASVK. AVSK. AKVS. AKSV . ASKV. AVKS. No idea what I can spell out with that, ideas appreciated.
Might or might not continued base on popularity.
