Disclaimer- haven't written one of these in a while, so I guess I should write one before I get sued. So anyways! I don't own StarCraft, but I do own the plot, and Nick (heh, I better own myself) and Karan, whose just a randomly generated. And I think that I own the whole Psi sword/axe/staff/hammer, but if I don't, I'm SORRY! I didn't know, I didn't play StarCraft 2 yet! (if ever) anyways! Enough begging, time to get to the story. Oh yeah, from the Chuurch to da place. boo yeah!

Nick turned behind him as he heard a voice calling out his name down the hall. "Karan?! What are you following us for?!" Nick asked as she came closer, then saw the pistols at her sides and hung his head. "I hope you don't think that you're coming with!"

"I'm coming with, AND you're going to like it!" Karan screeched back at Nick. He just couldn't seem to be able to say no to Karan, so he just nodded and they all stepped into a small transport and rode it down to the planets surface. When they landed, Nick led the group out of the transport and looked at Bigutana.

"Bigutana, check over there. Aducta and Miesta, go over there." Nick said as he pointed in two different directions. The three Protoss nodded and ran to there places, as Nick walked straight ahead, followed by Karan, who had pulled out her pistols and was looking around her surrounding keenly. "Where are those little bustards?" Nick said, kicking over a fairly big rock. Karan just shrugged as Nick looked up just as an Observer flew overhead, Nick getting some recon from the flying robot. "Damn, where are they?!" Nick repeated.

'I don't know, but they better get here soon, this planets freaking me out' Karan thought, and Nick picked up with a chuckle. 'What's he laughing about?! This isn't a game, we could all die!' Nick just shook his head, extending his hand and his sword handle flew out of his palm into his grasp, a blue blade shooting out of the end. 'Oh yeah! That's going to make a big difference!' Karan thought sarcastically, 'But atleast his ready for anything, and that sword does make him look kinda. what was that?' Karan looked to their right as some ground moved.

".. Zerg" Nick muttered slightly, grasping his Psi Sword tighter. As soon as the words left his mouth, three rows of spines shot out of the ground, running straight at Nick and Karan. Nick pushed Karan out for the way, and side stepped the spines, swinging his sword and cutting into the ground, the spines severing and withered into the ground below. "Damn lurkers, why cant they attack from above ground?!" Nick looked over behind Karan as a Zergling ran up behind her, Nick leapt into the air, bring his sword down harshly onto its skull, splitting it in two, brains oozing out from either side of the blade as Nick stood up. He turned just as a Zergling blew up in his face, covering him with green blood. "ACK! That's rude!" he said as he turned to Karan, who slowly lowered her pistol.

"I could have let him kill you, atleast be happy I shot something!" Karan said with a smile. They then heard a scream from the direction Nick sent Bigutana. Both Nick and Karan ran in the direction of the scream, just to come to Bigutana, being pinned against the wall by a. pod?

"Get it away!" Bigutana screamed, swinging his Psi Hammer wildly, almost hitting Nick.

". Ok, Bigutana, it's a BUG! And not much of a bug at that, just crush it!" Nick said, trying not to laugh. He then proceeded to lift his foot and stomp the pod, shooting green blood at Bigutana, who freaked out more and ran past Nick, almost crushing him. "ACK! Why must I be in charge of these people?!" Nick said as Karan helped him up.

"Because, now stop complaining and come on." And with that, Karan and Nick walked back over to the transport where Bigutana was telling the story of the pod he had just encountered.

"It was massive! Bigger then an Ultralisk! And had massive claws and fangs!" He said, holding up his Psi Hammer, "but it had no chance against the likes of Bigutana!" As soon as he finished, Karan broke out laughing. He turned to face her. "Why you laugh tiny one? I could crush you like I did that Zerg!" he then proceeded to rush at Karan, just to have Nick Psi Sword find its way to his arm, severing it at his shoulder.

"No one touches Karan, or else, they get that." He said as he pointed to Bigutana.

"OW! You cut off my arm! You prick!" Bigutana said, covering were his shoulder once was.

"Oh stop bitching and just go get it regenerated!" Nick said pointing to the transport. Bigutana just hung his head and walked into the transport. As soon as Bigutana stepped into the transport, a flock of Mutalisk attacked the transport. Nick grabbed a hold of Karan and ran in the opposite direction of the now exploding transport. He turns to see Aducta and Miesta running in the opposite direction, right into a gang of Hydralisks. Before Nick could say a word, they opened fire on the 2 Protoss, pinning them down in a fury of acid spores. All Nick could do was watch as his comrades' fall all around him; he stood up and looked down at Karan, "Come on." He said coldly as they started to run away from the slaughter. They stopped after running for what seemed like hours, Karan out of breath.

"We have to stop, I'm going to die!" She said as she sat down on a rock. Nick just turned and looked at her, then nodded and sat beside her, hanging his head. After sometime of sitting in silence, Karan turned and faced Nick, "Its not your fault u know, it's the Zerg, they are the ones that."

Karan couldn't finish as Nick cut in "It was my fault, if I wouldn't have sent Bigutana into the transport, then we wouldn't have been caught off guard." Karan just looked him straight in the eyes, and threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly as he just sat there, ridged.

"Why have you changed so much Nick? What happened to the fun loving Nick I always knew?" Karan said, feeling his ridged ness.

Nick just turned and looked at Karan, saying "I was forced to grow up, become a stronger willed person, so I could led this group, and look were it got me!" his voiced turned into a yell as he looked at Karan. She looked at him sadly and stood up, and walked off, back towards the slaughter.
A/N: Dude, haven't written one of these in a while either. I know I haven't written in a while, and it felt weird writing this chapter, so if any of it doesn't make sense, FLAME THE HELL outta it for me! Thanks! -Chiller
