"Eat this!" Zeth shouted as another one of his missiles landed a direct hit on a Mutalisk. The others were still behind him. " How long till we reach the target?" Greg asked. Zeth looked up… . " Sooner than we expected…" Zeth looked outside his viewscreen. There it was. A Zerg Hive. Around it were Spore Colonies and Sunken Colonies. The Zerg defences had already noticed the intruders and acid spores were flying. " Greg! Target the nuke! We'll take care of the Spores!" Phoenix shouted. Greg nodded as his Wraith landed on the Zerg creep below. He took out his C-10 Canister Rifle. A red light appeared and was pointed at the Zerg Hive. Greg stood still.. " Nuclear Launch Target approved…"
Greg hurried back into his Wraith and launched. " Let's blow this popsicle stand!" Zeth shouted .The 5 pilots flew into the horizon.
Terran Flagship Hyperion
" Raynor! They have successfully targeted the nuke!" Dan shouted. Raynor nodded.
" Make sure they return here safely!" Raynor shouted. Dan nodded and shouted some orders over the comn. His eyes turned to the viewscreen. He watched the nuclear warhead shot into the air from the silo below.
The Hydralisk turned towards the Hive. Had the humans done any damage to the queen's Hive? The Hydralisk moved forward.. it appeared that the human hadn't done anything. His queen was safe. The Hydralisk turned towards the battlefield..that was where his brothers were. They were dying for their queen.. so were the Protoss who had become part of the swarm. The Hydralisk would have been out there if it were not for his queen. He had to guard her.. The Hydralisk looked into the sky.. it was a Terran weapon. The Hydralisk roared with agony..there was nothing he could do now. The last thing the Hydralisk saw was a brilliant flash of white…
Raynor could see the explosion. Was Kerrigan dead? Raynor stood up. The crew was cheering. The Zerg Broods were scattering like animals. Was the war over? Something wasn't right… . Raynor quickly made his way to the hangar and took a Wraith. He flew down towards the Temple below.
Xel'Naga Temple
Raynor stepped onto the steel platform. The sound of cheers from the outside could be heard. Raynor looked around him. He stepped onto the elevator that Zeratul and Artanis had taken when they were using the chrystals a few months before.
Everything looked normal.. " Raynor..how good of you to join me at my moment of triumph," a voice that was all to familiar said. Raynor turned around. There.. in front of him stood the Queen of Blades. " Kerrigan.." Raynor raised his C-10. " Jim..aren't you going to call for backup?" Kerrigan laughed. Raynor shook his head. " I made a promise when you killed Fenix. Now..I will avenge every innocent live you have killed..and forced to submit to your will," Raynor said. Kerrigan shook her head, " Big talk for someone so weak.." Before Raynor could pull the trigger, Kerrigan kicked the C-10 out of his hand. The weapon fell onto the metal floor, a few metres away from them.
Kerrigan slashed one of her claws forward. Raynor quickly rolled out of the way. Kerrigan leaped towards Raynor and slashed again. The claw barely missed Raynor's head. The human quickly made a run for his weapon. Kerrigan wasn't about to allow that to happen… . Raynor fell onto the floor. The gun was just in front of him. He reached towards it… suddenly there was a sharp pain in his thigh. Raynor looked behind him.. Kerrigan had stabbed his left leg. Raynor moaned with pain. " Jim… looks like it's end of the line for you.." Kerrigan laughed. Raynor winced with pain as he reached for his gun..closer…closer….closer….
Kerrigan was swept off her feet by Raynor's right leg. She fell onto the hard floor. When she leaped back onto her feet, she found a C-10 pointed into her face.
" So..Sarah.. it's the end of the line for you…." Raynor said. Kerrigan stepped back.. .
" It may be..my life may be. But this war will never be over. There WILL be others who will take my place…" at that Raynor pulled the trigger. Kerrigan's head exploded into bloody chunks ..her lifeless carcass fell to the floor. Raynor turned around… " You're right.. there always will be someone left…"
After that event.. the Zerg broods retreated back to Char. The Protoss and the Terrans formed an alliance. If there were any threat left for them..it would surely not be the Zerg. The Zerg waited…for the leader that would lead to victory once more. Then….there would probably be no stopping them. Artanis was never found. It was assumed that he was killed on his way back from his duel with Zeratul… the universe was at peace…for how long no one knows.
Char
The Zerg Chrysalis opened slowly. The hands of a Protoss reached out of the chrysalis… " My queen.. you have promised me glory..yet you are not here at my rebirth…" the figure thought to itself. The Zerg gathered around their new leader…
Artanis…
