She reached it and burst through the door.

"Mensk, the Zerg are spreading beyond the compound." She said, "We must attack as soon as possible." Mensk looked up questioningly. So Kerrigan told Mensk all that had happened. When she was finished, Mensk radioed the barracks and told them to get together a large group of troops. Then he walked to the tank hanger. Kerrigan quickly ran back to her locker rooms and changed her environmental suit with one that was built with more defense. Then she ran back to the gathering area in front of the base.

She arrived just in time to see columns of marines march into the courtyard. Behind them were a group of firebats followed by a group of medics. They all stood to attention and saluted. As she watched, ten Goliaths and five siege tanks rumbled in. Then, a sixth tank, with Mensk himself in it, rolled out. He turned on the loudspeaker and said

"Fellow warriors, today we will crush the Zerg. We will fight with honor and endurance, for we are the greater race, and we shall be victorious!" a huge roar of approval rose from the crowd of soldiers. "Move out!" said Mensk and the entire army started to move.

As they reached the gate, it slid open with a swishing sound. The soldiers started to trudge out onto the road. The firebats went first followed closely by the medics, the marines, and the Goliaths. The tanks came last. It seemed like hours until they reached the first Zerg scouts, but it definitely wasn't. The scouts started out as zerglings and the firebats took them out no problem. Then started coming the hydralisks, which posed a small problem, as the firebats had to use their stim packs. They trudged on and came to a small encampment of Zerg By now the Zerg definitely knew that they were coming. The medics, though, treated the firebats after each and every enemy. After a short while, they came to a spore colony. The firebats flamed it while the marines shot it and it exploded with a splatter, covering the firebats with blood. They wiped their visors off and continued to walk. Then suddenly, a spike came out of the ground and impaled a firebat. Everyone looked around as another spike came up just missing a medic. The firebats ran forward and saw a sunken colony. The marines followed, and soon it was destroyed. The firebats were covered with blood again, but not as much. Now there were five firebats that had been impaled on the spikes from the sunken colony. The other firebats took the plasma tanks from the bodies and put them in their backpacks.

After a short moment of silence in honor of the fallen soldiers, they continued onward. The army was hot and tired by the time they reached the compound. They rested outside and out of reach of the sunken colonies inside. Then Mensk ordered Kerrigan to proceed with a tactical nuclear strike. She nodded, and walked closer to the compound. She found the building that was nearest to the middle, the hatchery, and then cloaked and walked in to the compound. She stayed away from the spore colonies as she knew that they could sense her. Then she pressed the red button on her Canister Rifle and it sent out a red beam that targeted the hatchery. She held it there until it automatically shut off, and then ran back towards the army. The nuke came down behind her and she was thrown forward by the blast. When the dust cleared, it showed all of the colonies were gone, and the hatchery was bleeding profusely. The whole army marched in and attacked the hatchery, which died quickly. Then they all sighed with relief-- they had done it. As they sat down to rest, they heard a gentle hissing sound. They looked around and saw that the compound was surrounded with hydralisks.
