"Sir, Zerg forces are preparing to assault the city," the assistant
called to Gareth. The commander turned, puzzled.
"Which city?" Gareth asked. The assistant began to answer, but her voice was drowned out. A colossal explosion roared up and the roof flew off.
More explosions sounded, causing the building to shake. The Zerg were coming, and screams were heard outside. Gareth ran to the weapons cabinet.
"Get yourself out of here," he yelled to the assistant. He pulled a rifle from its place. He crossed the room, out the door. Running down the hall, he heard the women's footsteps behind him.
The hall began to crumble around him, causing him to run faster. There was a Dropship in the hanger across the way. With luck, he and the assistant could make it.
"Sir, come on!" a Marine yelled. He screamed as a Zergling struck deep into him, blood pouring from his wrecked neck.
Gareth pushed the women farther behind him and fired. The Zergling cried out as the spikes splintered its skull, letting its life's blood spill.
The two ran as fast as they could down the battered hall. The ceiling shook, and bits of cement and metal crashed to the floor.
Gareth rammed the door open, pulling his assistant behind him. The hanger was almost empty, but to Gareth's relief, a Dropship and two Wraiths waited.
"Sir, get it in," a Marine inside the ship called. Gareth nodded, and helped the women behind him get aboard.
"What's the damage?" Gareth yelled. The Marine turned and looked at something before looking back.
"The whole place is being over run, we got about forty seconds to get out of here," the Marine replied. Gareth noted the fear in his eyes. He looked over his shoulder and was rammed into a wall. He dizzily got to his feet.
His eyes widened as the Zerg abomination known as Kerrigan looked back at him. Her blades were poised at him.
Kerrigan screamed as something grabbed her from behind. A blue blade slashed into her, and she was lifted into the air and thrown.
Gareth looked to see a heavily bleeding Protoss. Voirce, Queso-Gwin's second in command, helped Gareth to his feet.
"Why did you save me," Gareth stuttered. When Queso had joined with Raynor, Gareth had been forced to arrest all remaining Protoss.
[No time,] the Protoss' voice was weak. [Get to a safe place, and aide Queso. Go!] Kerrigan rose from a pile of broken cement. Voirce lifted and threw Gareth into the Dropship.
It lifted off with out hesitation, and was followed by the Wraiths. Kerrigan watched it go with an angry snarl. She turned to the wounded Protoss.
"Foolish Protoss, You dare stand in the way of Kerrigan, Queen of Blades?" she hissed. "You will pay dearly for your actions."
[Kill me, if you dare. I have power in me yet,] his weak voice challenged. He focused for a moment. The air around Kerrigan sung with power. She screamed, and then waved it away.
"Your Psionic abilities are weak," Kerrigan laughed. Striding towards Voirce she swung a blade. The flat connected with his face.
[Your time will end,] the Protoss yelled. Kerrigan laughed again and grabbed him by the throat.
"I have a different use for you," she replied. "Your strong will maybe a useful tool."
Queso stared at the battlefield. The fort of Cal Norack stood once more. The Human defenders were dwindling, yet Protoss came to take their place. Jason Dean had also come. Queso knew not of this Terran, nor did Jim Raynor.
"My friend, how are you?" Jim asked. A bodyguard of six Zealots and one Dragoon surrounded him.
[Well,] Queso answered. He then ordered the bodyguard to leave. The Zealots bowed and walked away.
[Raynor, I fear...] he stopped and looked at the Dragoon. [Did I not dismiss you?] Raynor and the Dragoon laughed.
[Excuse me for not introducing myself sooner,] the Dragoon replied. [I have been in Raynor's flagship, the Hyprion. I am Fenix.]
[My apologies, Honored Fenix. I didn't know you where here,] Queso said and bowed. The Dragoon attempted to bow as well.
[Queso, Raynor,] Fenix addressed them both. [I believe we should head towards Shakuras.]
"I don't think we should leave this planet until the Zerg have been destroyed," Jim answered.
[What is Shakuras?] asked Queso. Jim turned to him and thought hard before answering.
"It is the planet in which your people fled after Auir was over run," Jim said finally. "They wait there now, I think."
[Raynor, we can not defeat the Zerg here without destroy the whole planet,] Fenix warned. [Watch this recording from our probe, station at the newly defeated Capital city.]
The recording flickered on.
The landscape was charred and broken. Zerg ran everywhere, destroying anything that remained. Circling the command center, the probe watched the door. It slid open reveling Kerrigan.
Behind her a drone carried an egg out into the open. Looking closer the probe noticed the rough outline of something inside. The drone set the egg down near a broken building.
Kerrigan ran her claws over the egg, stroking it almost lovingly. The egg shuddered.
"In a few hours you will hatch, my servant," Kerrigan cooed to the egg. It shuddered again. A Zergling ran up to Kerrigan and barked something.
The probe turned to watch the surviving human's and Protoss being herded towards Kerrigan. The Recording ended.
[Fenix, is this true,] Queso asked urgently. The Dragoon confirmed. Queso went pale.
"Your right Fenix, we have to destroy this planet. If we do not we may let one escape," cried. His knuckles were white where they gripped a railing.
[So be it!] called Fenix. [Let us prepare a battle plan.]
A/N: Reviews please!!!! I worked hard on fixing the story line to go with my knowledge of what happens in the events of Brood war. Thanx to My Name Is Not Important!!!!
