CHAPTER TWO: THE COMMAND CENTER

Confederate main Base

"Admril Jones"

"Yes sir?"

Duke looked out the window of the space ship, "We are loosing another Zerg Extermenation Mission"

"I know sir"

"We just lost contact with the base 2 hours ago. They said something about a major Zerg attack"

"Sir that was a Zerg Infestation area, they infest and grow on anything they can"

"I see. Get a force together. You're going on a rescue mission"

"Sir? In there? A whole base just was destroyed.... With all do respect..."

"With all do respect you better do you job Admril. Or You will fear me more then the Zergs"

"Yes sir"



"Here we are"

The 4 marines stepped down the final step of the canyon wall, looking at an old Command Center. Broken windows, and metal lay around and in it. Blood was smeared on the walls and floor. Dead marines, Fire bats and Hydralisks lay around, the dusty rock ground was suprisingly soft and mushy.

"The ground," Bob bent over and touched it, "Its so soft"

"Shoot..."

"What is Heth?" Robert asked.

"Hydralisks and Zerglings..."

"Where?"

"Burrowed"

They suddenly started slowly backing up. As 3 Mutalisks crashed down from above trying to fit threw the Canyon but not. Then about 20 Zergling and Hydralisks popped up from the ground. 2 Ultralisks came from the side of the cave.

"Go to the Command Center!" Heth started to run.

They shot as they ran, Bob shot ones arm of, the arm flew into a Zerglings body killed both of them. Then he shot a Hydralisk, it fell and instead of blood a strange acid like substance poured from its mouth. Another Hydralisk stepped in it and was killed.

Syke shot randomly, half in fear, half in wanting to just live he shot any thing that came near him.

They reached the Center and pulled a metal table up to the main door and held it there.

"Hold it here! Don't move!" Heth shouted. Several screeches and banging could be heared for about 30 seconds, then it all stopped.

The ground got up from the table and glanced around, confused.

Bob started to talk, "Well that was..."

Then Zerglings started crashing in threw the windows.

"Shoot them with all you have!"

Bob ran out of bullets and a zergling ran up and started to scratch threw his suit, Robert shot it off of him as Bob reloaded, "thanks Robert!" They continued to shoot as the waterfall of Zerglings poured threw.

"Hydralisks are to big to fit!"

Then They ran into another room and locked the giant steel door. The room was surprisingly neat. It was obviosly a lab of some sort. Tables with glass bottols and liquds. But most of all a Door that would hold the Zerglings.

"So whats the plan?" Bob asked.

"I don't know, theres Zergs everywhere we look"

"I have an idea," Syke said, "We wait untill nightttime when the Zerglings are resting. Then we go to the main room, find SCVs, build seige tanks and bust our way out. Seige tanks would be enough to kill the Ultralisks"

"That would work," Robert said, "But the Mutalisks"

"Hey we'll get to that part when we find it"



"Admril Jones, We have succesfully landed, shall we begin base construction?"

"Yes, do so"
