To preserve all life... Chapter 4 : New allies, a starcraft fanfic

Holy Knight Azguard arrayed his army before him. Lines and lines of knights, footman and archers ready to do their kings bidding. 10,000 in number, their grey armor shining in the sun. It was a sight to behold. They were to hold off the enemy until the defense forces could be rallied in their Capitol city, Tyroth. The enemy had no name. They were ghastly creatures with demented limbs and the desire only to kill. These creatures had appeared from the sky, the priests had thought they were a message from god himself until the creatures had started to plunder and destroy our cities. These were no creatures of god, they were creatures of evil... from the devil, perharps.

A large tumolt could be heard in the distance, hordes and hordes of creatures charged towards them. A few started to panicked as the creatures with dog-like features ran with god-like speed, their deadly fangs ready to strike down anyone with enough courage to take them on.

"Archer, fire NOW!", Azguard's command was given. No one disobeyed. The archers loaded their bows and thousands of arrows fell towards the swarming creatures. A few fell, more charged on... It was no use though Azguard. He knew that they were going to die. Since they had come, no army in all in Tybolt were able to hold them off. They all fell in fury of battle, one was lucky to die in battle in times like this...

Shakaras finally, the Admiral thought. He had doubts that their fleet would make this far without being ripped apart by the Zerg, but they were here now.. he wondered how the Protoss would react.

His intercom beeped again and the Navigations officer's face appeared. "Admiral Janson, there seems to be same malfunction on our part.. we gave the warp drive wrong co-ordinates and we ended up here. The rest of the fleet are with us too". Drops of sweat were starting to appear on his forehead. He knew the Admiral would not be happy.

The Admiral tried to calm himself down, human error was a part of normal day life. But this... was too much. Putting wrong co-ordinates on the warp drive. Never in his life had he heard something gone so wrong. "It's okay... pilot our fleet into the position for our next warp drive. Make sure you get it right this time. Dismissed"

"There's one more thing sir", the officer's face was really starting to sweat now.

"WHAT!?!?!", screamed Admiral Janson. He couldn't hold it any longer.

"Umm.. our scanners are picking a strong zerg signal and some human ones as well. They seem to be on one of the uncharted planets here. One of battlecruisers are in high orbit over the planet and it reports that they are currently engaged in battle. The humans are losing and further analysis shows that they are not of Terran, Umorjian or UED orgins.", the officer was amazed when he first saw these reports. He wondered how the Admiral would act.

A few minutes later, Janson had come to a decision. "Officer, move our entire fleet around the orbit of that planet. We're going to rescue them." He clicked some more buttons on the intercom and told his secretary to get all his military officers in the meeting room asap. They would never believe this.

In the past few hours, his army had greatly diminished. He was down to his last thousand men. A deep long gash was running across Azguard's arm. He could fight no more. He sat down and watched as the rest of his army fought on, slowly being clawed away by these dog-like creatures..

Suddenly, large grey objects appeared from the sky. Azguard's instincts had told them they were on his side. Why would the enemy send reinforcements when we had lost already? The objects landed and a door opened...

Corporal Kelly readied his gun and stepped outside his dropship. He could hardly believe what he saw. An army of fighting the zerg with arrows and swords. No wonder they were losing. "This is it, move our squad and support our allies. Help the people with swords and bows. Kill the ugly purple creatures. For humanity... Go go go!!"

Corporal Kelly moved into firing stance, several shots were fired of his gauss rifle and his bullets penetrated the skull of a zergling. He motioned two of his best men to follow him. They were going to find the leader of this army. He needed to convince him to move his men into the dropship.. and fast. The enemies were getting numerous and his platoon could only hold for so long...
