not understand some things. Thanks. Enjoy.**
PROTOSS COLONY, ADUN, 3:19 P.m.
"You mean that my Dark templar and I are needed to defeat Zasz and Daggoth? We`ll be on our way immediately." Said Zeratul, a bit of frustration showing in his voice.
"Did you already fo`get?" cried Mengsk. "Only the dark templars` powers can defeat the overmind and Cerebrates?"
"No, I didn`t forget.."
"Then why did ya back to Adun?"
"I`m sorry I didn`t suspect you would have so much trouble. I`m on my way."

ZASZ AND DAGGOTH`S HIDEAWAY, 5:30
P.M.
"Well, here they are." Thought Zeratul, staring at Zasz.
"YOU CANNOT DESTROY ME!!!!" cried Zasz.
"Just watch me.."
Zeratul and the other Dark Templar moved in, and killed Zasz.
"Now for Daggoth."
After Zeratul killed Daggoth, they moved to the Overmind. "You….NO! You cannot kill the Overmind!!!!!" it cried. Just then, a group of hydralisks appeared out of the ground, and aimed for the skies. Tassadar was driving Gantrithor above the scene. "TASSADAR!!! GET DOWN FROM THERE!!!" Zeratul cried. The Hydralisks fired at Gantrithor, which selfdestructed. Tassadar`s body went flailing out, like a limp rag doll. His body hit the ground, which the Hydralisks all swarmed around. Zeratul killed them all to get to him.
Zeratul took a look at him, and said, with great sorrow in his voice, " Prepare the burial." The voice didn`t even sound like his own. He continued: "The burial for the Overmind!!!" It was Tassadar`s voice, not Zeratul`s. Tassadar sat up, and began throwing energy blasts at him. "Everyone, get back!!!" Tassadar cried. He shot a psionic storm at the Overmind, killing it, then watching helplessly as it reincarnated itself. Then Zeratul and the Dark Templar moved in. They made quick work of him. "We`ve done it!!!" cried Mengsk. "That was as hard as finding a needle in a haystack!!!" said Fenix. "SHUT UP!!!!" cried Duke. "Zeratul, remember, you did lose yer Gantrithor, and- heh, there`s a transmission coming in!"
"Let`s see it." Said Zeratul. The message wasn`t a friendly one: "Hello, Zeratul. Tassadar. I am Judicator Aldaris. You have done the Conclave a big favor. With the Overmind destroyed, we don`t have to worry about the Zerg. Without them, we can put our plan into action. We will rule Auir!!!!"

OUTER LIMITS OF SHAKURAS DESERT,
8:15 P.M.
"I doubt any of the other Protoss fools will look on this planet." Said Aldaris, calmly building his probes. "At least our first mission is clear to us. Destroy the one who stole my place in the Auir army. Ready, Zealots?" he said, shooting an energy blast upward, illuminating the entire Nexus. "We must kill the one named, Fenix."

OLD ZERG FIGHTING GROUNDS, 12:06
A.M.
The wind was blowing to the steady beat of Fenix`s heart. He was thinking very hard. He had the feeling something was going to happen that was bad. You couldn`t shake the feeling. It was following him everywhere. "Zeratul, I feel that I will never see you again…." Then, Quite suddenly, An army of Zealots and the High Templar, Aldaris, came out of 13 Shuttles. "Aldaris. It`s you…"
"I`m here to kill you, Fenix."
"What????"
Ten Zealots charged at Fenix, all of which he killed. Then, Aldaris stepped up, and hit Fenix with a psionic storm. He didn`t have enough time to move. The shot hit him. His eyes went blank. His dropped to the ground. His body went limp. "Well," said Aldaris "Looks like the great Fenix is finally dead."

EXACTLY THREE DAYS LATER, ON THE NORAD
II:
Fenix opened his eyes and blinked once. Twice. Everything was a strange shade of Blue. 'Where am I?' he thought. " Fenix? Can you hear me? This is Zeratul. You are dead. Tassadar found your dead body, and put you into a Dragoon. You`re clinging to life. That suit is like a test tube on legs.Hope it`s not to tight….." "It`s great!"
"Is the experiment done, Zeratul?" asked Duke, clearly with little patience.
"Yes, Duke."
"Good. I`m about ready to get that Aldaris back for killing our best Zealot!!!"
"Well, now He`ll be our best Dragoon.'
"Well, let`s go kill that Conclave!!!" cried Duke, this time over exited.
