Event:

Ara has been taken by Siren as hostage, along with fake Baldwin, at Hangar Two, waiting for Markus, who's coming along with Corporal Rena.

Ten minutes later…With Markus and others…

Ten minutes ago, after Markus has slain a Spitter and couple Jumpers, he and Corporal Rena head toward Hangar Two. On the way there, they thankfully ran into few more security guards, though some of them were in bad state as they were shaking, barely holding their rifle and one of them even tried to kill himself. But thanks to Corporal Rena, he didn't as Corporal Rena went up to him and punch him right in face, screaming at him, "What kind of soldier are you? Are you really going to abandon us? Do you want to die as coward! Or as a brave soldier?" The soldier got stunned from her punch, no longer thinking about committing suicide. Seeing that a 'suicide' problem has been solved, Corporal Rena continued, "Alright, now we solved a little issue, we have to get to the Hangar Two. However, it may be under the invader's control, so it will be a hell of fight. But we have no choice and I don't what happen to other people, but we must survive and warn the other bases! Who's with me?" All, including Markus, raised their hand.

Sensing more enemies, Markus warned the soldiers and they all raised their weapon, pointing at their direction that leads to the Hangar Two. Sure enough, more Jumpers and few Slashers(as Markus has been told by a soldier). To Markus, the Slashers are taller than a Spitter and are armed with three bloodied claws/blades on both arms. By judging them, Markus could tell that the Slashers are very dangerous, more than a group of Jumpers or Spitters.

Without waiting for the invaders to attack, Corporal Rena screamed, "Open fire!" She and the group fired their lasers at the charging Jumpers with Slashers following them. Some of Jumpers' head exploded. Some of Jumpers' body burn and unable to take any more punishment. Few lasers hit one Slasher's head, causing it to burn. One of soldiers screamed, "Throwing grenade!" and threw a grenade at right front of the remaining Jumpers and Slashers. The grenade exploded, killing the charging enemies and damaging the walls in hallway.

Seeing that the enemies are dead, the group of humans continued.

Later, with Siren and her 'party guests'…

"AHHH!" screamed funny looking human as Siren slowly pushed her long sharp nail (talon) into her victim's shoulder and slowly pulling her nail out, before pushing it back in. Beside her, an average looking man named 'Baldwin' whimpered as he's in 'pain'. After a while, Siren sighed and walk away to pile of corpses. Seeing one corpse that's seem to be in 'good' condition, Siren merely walked to it and raise her leg up, before bringing it down upon corpse's head in hope of popping brain out. Second later, she was rewarded with a loud bone-crunching sound and to her disappointment; a brain was reduced to appearance of deflated balloon. It is official, Siren is bored and her prey is taking his sweet time to get to Hangar Two.

"For sweet tits, how long is he going to take? I know I ordered couple Zerglings , couple Infested Critters, few Roaches, and few Hydralisks, but he and his lackeys should be here by now. Perhaps Roaches and Hydralisks are too much, now come to think of it, these humans don't even wear armor…" Siren paused and studied the corpse whose head she has crushed. "Just light clothes…and a pair of shiny boots."

Then, Siren turned to study a funny looking female human. She look pitifully look pathetic with her clothes all ruined and ripped, couple scratches, and few 'little' holes. Strangely, she screamed louder when one of her 'head-tails' was squeezed. Her skin is light blue with few darker blue patterns under her ripped clothes. No hair, but two head-tails on her head with one of them is missing a tip. She has human looking face with bruised lips and by looking at her body; Siren licked her lips as she stared at her victim's body. For strange human, she look decent and the smell coming off her, Siren took a short sniff; seem to be mixed of sweat and fear. Siren smiled at her victim, who whimpered even more pathetically. Since she's bored, she might well ask her victim about her head and skin. Just when she about to ask, the Hydralisks and other Zergs tensed as they sensing something coming. And they're right as the door began to open and a loud female human voice can be heard.

"Take that, you kriffing bug! Oh hell, more bugs and…Hey, Markus! Look! They got two hostages!" And several humans appeared with their weapons raised, but didn't fire. Probably because of my hostages, Siren thought. Looking closer at the newcomers, she sensed a familiar trace of strange energy in one particular male. And thanks to a loud woman, that male is called Markus, who took a look at the hostages and later, laid his eyes on her, Siren herself. She sensed the same but weaker strange energy began to change around her, giving her body a strange sensation. Puzzled, she took a quick look around her before looking at Markus again, where she could see that his eyes seem to be concentrating on her.

"Ah, so this Markus can use this strange energy from the surrounding…Interesting.." Siren mused as she continued to stare at Markus, who seem to be sweating a little. Siren smiled and spoke loud enough for the human newcomers to hear, "About time and here, I was about to have some fun with my…guests"

With Markus…

Right after he heard what Corporal Rena said, he looks at where his companion was pointing. His breath was ragged as he spotted Ara and Baldwin and by the Force, they look absolutely in pain. He could feel Ara's pain, but strangely, he couldn't feel Baldwin's pain. Strange, considering that Baldwin, like Ara, was covered with scratches, bruises, and two small bleeding holes in his stomach and shoulder. Looking who or what beside them made his heart stop. Why? Because he is look at the same hellish looking woman, who's standing there and smiling at them. Suddenly, his senses began to go crazy as there's something about her. Something that make her more dangerous and possibly worse than the monster who killed his deceased friends.

Using the Force, Markus attempted to look inside the hellish woman. He nearly flinched as he sensed her bloodlust and savageness, but much worse than he sensed in the Jumpers and others. Like others, he could not sense the Force in hellish woman. Deciding to look closer, Markus used more Force and without warning, the Force around this hellish woman began to scream, sending a terrifying loud echo and a vision. A vision of a large dark cloud raining an endless amount of burning debris, blobs of acid, and to his horror, blood and corpses. All landed on a burning city, full of deaths and ruined buildings, before the city itself was engulfed in shadow as something gigantic star-shape appeared over the city and it began to descended upon the city with its visible 'mouth' opened wide, showing countless amount of teeth and tentacles. Then, the Force kicked Markus out of vision, leaving him sweating and shaking. Not even his training against the dark side could prepare him for what he saw in such a vision that he could not even describe the words.

Markus nearly activate his lightsaber when he was elbowed back to reality by Corporal Rena who was standing right beside him. Markus calmed himself and look at Corporal Rena with questioning look. She hissed at him, "What should we do? There's nine Slashers, plus that…woman. We're outnumbered." She's right as there's only seven, including Markus, themselves, armed with rather out-dated rifles and pistols (compared to the Imperials). And Markus himself only have lightsaber and pistol, which he has a little training with it. Looking around the hangar, nine Slashers can be seen readied as they hunched their neck, pointing their heads at them.

"But why they haven't fire yet? Are they waiting for…that woman's command?" Markus thought as he raised his still de-activate lightsaber in Shi-Cho form, causing hellish woman to narrow her eyes at his deactivated lightsaber. He then calmly asked her if she's kind enough to release Ara and Baldwin to them. The hellish woman scoffed at his request and merely said in such a soft, mocking tone, "But if I release them, I would have no one to play with. That would make me sad. They were so fragile and I enjoy their fear."

She began laugh, making Markus and others to tighten their weapons. But a demonic looking woman is not done as she continued, "Hmm, I suppose if you could kindly come over with one of you as my new guests and I will release them. Sound good, hmm?" No one response, making her sighed. "Very well, I always prefer some actions than this…diplomacy. But again…" her tone began to turn into loud and ugly tone, "WE ARE THE SWARMS!"

With that last past, Markus could sense incoming danger and thanks to the Force, he managed to dodge couple incredibly high velocity projectile, but they passed by Markus and hit poor security officer who was standing right behind him, causing him to fire few quick shots. The hangar suddenly became a battlefield as Markus and others began to take cover and return fire at the Slashers. Markus began to use more Force, quickly activate his lightsaber, and threw it over his cover with the Force guiding it. One loud screech was all he got and his lightsaber later came back. Around him, he could hear lasers and projectiles trading blows, scorching the floor, piercing the crates that were conveniently just there, and one officer screamed, signaling that he has been hit. He could hear Corporal Rena swore and ordered the others to keep shooting. She then screamed at him, "What the hell are you doing? Put your light sword thing away and start shooting! This is kriffing gunfight!" as she quickly raise over her cover and fired several lasers that all hit one Slasher's head and chest, causing it to screech in anger and pain, before Markus used the Force and pulled a light down upon a Slasher from a ceiling.

He could sensed Corporal Rena's shock and despite that he's in gunfight, he grinned, but frowned as he heard cracking sound, signaling that his cover is unable to take any more punishment. He put his lightsaber away and drew his pistol out, before moving to his next cover.

With Siren…

As soon as she screamed, "WE ARE THE SWARMS", she gave a subtle signal to a group of Hydralisks to open fire. To her disappointment, they managed to kill ONE human. Just one human. And then, the hangar became a gunfight that reminds her of some ancient western film before her awakening (infestation). And much to her amusement, the humans are ignoring her and focusing their fire on the Hydralisks. "Either because I'm standing right beside my guests or they just think I'm more harmless than a group of Hydralisks" She gave a mental scoff. Suddenly, out of somewhere, came some sort of spinning light disc that went through one Hydralisk as it were butter. A loud screech can be heard as the headless body collapsed and roll off the damaged ship.

"What was that? Don't tell me they use energy blades like those wrenched Protoss!" Siren mentally screamed. She harshly ordered her Hydralisks to kill all but one who's called Markus as dear Hathaza is still interested in strange energy. She crossed her arms as she watch a gunsfight with lasers and spines flying off everywhere, but at Siren and the hostages. She noticed a woman in some uniform quickly rise over her cover and fired couple lasers that all hit one Hydralisk's front. She then feels the weaker strange energy spike and suddenly, a light that was hanging above a screeching Hydralisk began to fall and landed on it. A blood can be seen flowing out of under the light.

"Guess this Markus can use the energy and probably the one who threw some sort of energy blade. Wonderful. And humans here use energy weapons." Siren mused. "I wonder if my dear brother is having fun right now. He probably slaughtering and enjoying the bloodbath. I envy him, if that true. Better focus on gunfight." She turned just in time to hear someone screamed in pain and sense strange energy began to act again. Few screeching and scratching sounds can be heard as two Hydralisks were suddenly being pushed out of the hangar door. Siren turned and saw what Markus is doing with his hands out. Siren grabbed 'Baldwin' and quickly threw 'him' at Markus.

With Markus…

He has successfully used the Force to push those two Slashers out of the hangar, when he heard someone screaming. He turned just in time to see Baldwin flying toward him, screaming in fear, and crashed right into him. Markus and Baldwin both landed on a floor, groaned. After rolling over to get back on feet, he asked Baldwin if he's ok, which is yes. He quickly told Baldwin to get to Corporal Rena and others as gunfight is no place for civilian, never mind the fact that he's a civilian like Baldwin.

Bladwin quickly nodded his head and ran, more like limping, toward where Corporal Rena. Markus saw a sinister looking woman, who merely smiles at him, mocking. Markus quickly ditched his pistol and drew his lightsaber out, activating it. He was about to charge at that woman who slowly walked close to Ara, who frantically shaking. A loud pained screams can be heard, causing Markus to stop and took his eyes off his target to see what happen to Corporal Rena and one officer. His eyes widen in shock at the sight.

Corporal Rena and officer both have mouth open, spilling blood out. Moving his eyes downward, Markus see a pair of bloodied claws that both pierced through Corporal's and officer's back and chest. Behind them, stand a grinning Baldwin with his arms sticking out of his victims' body. Baldwin then slowly pulled his claws out, making Corporal and officer fall with bleeding hole in their body. Markus was shock at the sight of sudden 'betrayal' and failed to heed the remaining security officer's warning. He suddenly felt pain and was flying off the ground. His back crashed right into hull of damaged ship.

Markus groaned and spat few blobs of blood out. He shook his head and used the Force to clear his head. Suddenly, a gunfight has subsided and the footstep can be heard, walking toward him. He looks up and saw terrifying looking woman slowly moving toward him with a smile. A smile that promise an unbearable amount of agony. The Force screamed, demanding that he should get away, his life will end if he stay. Despite that he can see her standing right front of him, he couldn't sense her. Just emptiness.

Then, SHE spoke, "How pathetic. I threw 'Baldwin' at you and you failed to react. How disappointing."

Author: Well, here's the next chapter. For those who may be wondering about why Markus couldn't sense Zergs. Let me put this way. This is what I think when some Jedi said "the Force is everywhere". Jedi, Siths, and all others contain particles that make Force and everywhere contain Force particles that Jedi, Sith, and others can manipulate. But unfortunately, the Zergs themselves do not contain Force as there's no such thing as the Force in where they came from.

"But wait, how did Markus sensed a group of Zerg coming around the corner?"

Well, he couldn't sense them, but he can sense something disturbing the Force in surrounding. Imaging pushing a balloon inside water. Zergs are balloon and water is the Force. Except, the Force particles don't get in Zerg.

"But why Siren didn't do anything?"

Because she's bored. Simple. But she will do something. In next chapter.

"Will the Zerg be able to utilize the Force?"

No comment.
