Chapter 4: The Third Battle of Shakuras
"What in Adun's name is THAT?" cried Artanis, the new Protoss Prelate. Although the Protoss Conclave was being restructured, they needed a leader that was able to make quick decisions and orchestrate the Templar warriors that protected the remaining Protoss on Shakuras.
"It is a large cube-shaped craft, traveling at near light-speed," said Trac'ness, resident communications officer. "Receiving incoming transmission."
"WE ARE THE BORG, LOWER YOUR SHIELDS AND POWER DOWN YOUR WEAPONS SYSTEMS. YOUR TECHNOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DISTINCTIVENESS SHALL BE ADDED TO OUR OWN. YOUR CULTURE WILL BE ADAPTED TO SERVICE US. WE ARE THE BORG. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE."
"No…"
"First the Zerg, and now this?"
"Will we ever be left alone?"
"Comrades!" Artanis shouted, trying to restore moral to his fellow warriors, as they had been pursued endlessly by the Zerg, and this seemed to be their end in hand, "We will be able to defeat them, they are one and we are Templar! We will never be defeated, for even when the Zerg forced of Aiur, they lost their leader and their unity! We are more unified than ever! Templar, Dark Templar, and even Terrans will stand united against this and all threats! No one will be able to stand against us!"
The Protoss in the command chamber looked a bit prouder and began issuing the alarms.
The Borg Cube began its approach, and was ten minutes away from the planet at maximum impulse when a squadron of Wraiths led by Tom Kazanzky opened fire while cloaked. The first few laser hits made it through, but the next ones seem to be stopped by an energy shield. Switching to missiles, the Wraiths focused fire and specific portions of the Cube. The Cube seemed to have penetrated the cloak, when it hit Kazanzky's Wraith. As the Wraiths withdraw, having spent nearly all their missiles anyway, the Cube pursued.
Seemingly out of nowhere, Yamato blasts ripped into one side of the Cube, nearly destroying it. Thus weakened, it began to pursue a crash landing on Shakuras. This was supposed to be a kamikaze attack, hitting some major city, but was thrown of course by Valkryies. It crashed in a remote area of Shakuras. Everything that came out was quickly destroyed by Scouts.
