Hi! This is the last chapter, and since I have a long lunch period today (3 hours!!) I hope to finish it and upload them and move on to Psiona's Quest, which us the last one that goes in this category before the explosive crossover ending. Also, did you check Humanity lately? As an epilogue, I put up an interesting connection between Raynor and Creed.
Chapter 5: Truth.
Only one girl awoke in the house the next morning. Psiona completely forgot about Demona when she woke up. Easy, since she was not in the room.
"Good morning, Dad."
"Good morning, sweetie. Is your sister up?"
"Sister? Oh, yeah. I'll go see."
Demona was not in her bed.
"um, dad? She's not there…"
"well, look for her!"
"That'll take all day! This place is HUGE!!"
"Do it psychically…"
"Oh. Duh., Wait! There's something… but it's not her. She's nowhere to be found. Hey, what's that?"
"What's what?"
"The package at the door."
"There's no…"
"Package delivery for mr. Raynor!"
"Oh, you must have the wrong…"
"That's me."
"Dad?"
"Here you are, then."
Inside was a broken comlink, a lock of dark brown hair, and a note:
If you ever want to see either of them again, send me the disrupter. –The Overmind.
"Who… how… what can the Overmind possibly do to them?"
"I think perhaps it's time you knew the truth about us."
"Dad, you don't…"
"Yes. It's time you knew. Our true last name is Raynor, not Kerrigan. I am Jim Raynor. Yes, the legendary one. Your mother was Sarah Kerrigan. No, she didn't die at New Gettysburg. If only she had… anyways. She got captured by the Zerg and turned into the Queen 'o Blades. I was human once, too. They got me later. But I was clever enough to escape. The Zerg must think I used a Psi Disrupter… anyways, your mother was very depressed. Seein' as how you were Zerg just made her worse. She tried to… kill herself. I called to the 'Xel Naga and they agreed to remover her memories. Unfortunately, they included the ones of me.
"We loved each other very much. But I had to go. I didn't want to leave you two. So I took you. Jennifer- Demona- your sister's personality matched that of your mother's more closely. I figured the two of them would get along.
"She musta changed her name when she re-joined society. Blades, as in Queen of. Very cute. I changed mine because less people have heard of Kerrigan than Raynor.
"I fear the Overmind is
re-asserting it's power over Sarah. It may take Demona
as well. I'll have to go get them back. But I'm a lot older now, and out of
shape, and this body is so different, I'm not sure…"
"I'll go."
"No, I'm sorry, I couldn't let you…"
"My mom, my twin, I'm psychic, I'LL GO!! I'll leave as soon as I pack my backpack."
"Be careful, alright?"
"Alright. Oh, I suppose I owe you for telling me the truth. I'll show you…"
"No, you don't have to… oh. You're a shifter. I knew that once… I thought perhaps it faded as you grew up."
The person where Psiona had been standing smiled. "Nope. I'll go as Caitlyn. Cat." She was small for her age, and looked almost elf-like.
"Perfect."
Caitlyn donned her pack and left home. Jim was once again left alone, fearing for his loved ones. "Man, I need a stimpack."

Far off, on the Planet Garm, all alone in a ramshackle hut on the edge of a swamp, Bob the Zergling broke free. He howled for his mistress, then took off. He knew he had to go east. East there was an old friend. East there was home. East, into an Overlord, and from there wherever the Overmind chose to put him. For the Swarm was calling, and the Overmind was rising.
Tadah! What do you think? Some cliffhanger, huh? Wonder where Bob's going? REVIEW!!!
