A special mention to Dark-Elk and GrimMoody, I hate to say that I'm leaving my dialogue how it is till the end of this episode. Then I will change it to "proper" dialogue. I have been playing Starcraft over and over to get the information I need for this story. And sorry but if you read the name of this Episode; it is called "The Hybrid Army"
Chapter 3: A Lost Friend
Zeratul and Raynor gathered up their forces for the journey to Char. The Scout Ships flew into their squads and the Carriers scattered along the area. Transports gathered up the ground forces (Zealots, Dragoons, High Templars, Archons, Marines, Firebats, Ghosts and Goliaths) into their holders and took off, so did the Scout Ships and Carriers. They flew on to Char.
--------------------------------------------************-----------------------------------------
Kerigan slashed her blades at a Hydralisk as she dropped out of an Overlord. She cloaked herself slashed down on another two. An Ultralisk ran up to her, it must be able to see her. She looked up and saw one of Duran's Overlords above. The Overlord blew up as several Hydralisks shot at it. The Ultralisk stopped and Kerigan jumped on its head. It thrashed around as Kerigan drove her blade into its skull. It collapsed and Kerigan jumped off. She turned around and ran towards a squad of Duran's Marines. She jumped into the middle and spun around with her blades extended. The where sliced by the blades as she spun, she cloaked herself and charged at the remaining Marines. She uncloaked as she ran out of energy. An injured Ultralisk was on its side with a squad of Firebats running towards it.
Kerigan: NO!
This was not out of love for her Ultralisk but she could consume this Ultralisk for much needed energy. She ran to the Ultralisk and consumed it. She turned to the Firebats and her eyes glared yellow, the Firebats fired at her, she jumped but only one Firebat let off a shot for an Infested Terran had just jumped into the middle the Firebats and detonated. The Firebats were blown apart and Kerigan ran to a set of Ghosts, but then she saw something very disturbing, a nuke targeting light at her feet. She looked up and saw the Ghost responsible for this. She ran at him. She jumped onto the ledge on which it stood and cut him in half, but it was too late. Kerigan was pushed in the back by the force of the explosion for she was not too far away from it. She looked around and saw blown up pieces of Zerg and Terran. Her main squad of Ultralisks was blown up in that nuke. She saw another nuke targeting light but she already knew where it was coming from. She ran to the right and jumped off the edge of the ledge. She spread her blades and landed on her hands as she rolled and drove her blades up and sliced the Ghost in half. Her bloodstained blades retracted as she saw the light disappear, the nuke was lost in space. She looked up and saw Protoss and Terran Transports fly overhead so did Carriers, Scout Ships, Wraiths and Battle Cruisers. She had a small smile of Gratitude to Jimmy and Zeratul for their response.
--------------------------------------------************-----------------------------------------
Zeratul: Land down at the back of the battle, it is safest.
Transport Pilot: Acknowledged.
The whole squad of Transport Ships landed at the back and the air vehicles covered them. The Transports dropped their cargo and flew into space, stationary until they were called in. Zeratul and Aldaris walked out of their Transport as Raynor walked out of his. The whole fleet flew and started attacking.
--------------------------------------------************-----------------------------------------
Zeratul ran and started attacking the Zerg and Terran under Duran's control. Aldaris was doing likewise but much faster. A squad of Marines ran at Zeratul and Aldaris. Aldaris flipped over the squad and the two started fighting on both sides of the squad. Aldaris retrieved his Marine rifle from his cloak and started firing at a small group of Zerglings that were running towards him. They were mowed down as Aldaris shot them. Raynor ran towards Aldaris, firing across Aldaris. Aldaris turned his head to see what Raynor was firing at. He saw Zeratul slicing at a group of Goliaths from their roofs and Raynor shooting through their glass shields. Aldaris jumped onto the nearest Goliath's roof and started driving in his sword. He jumped over one Goliath as it blew up from Raynor's constant firing. The squad was killed and the three warriors ran deeper into the battlefield.
--------------------------------------------************-----------------------------------------
Kerigan finished off the Siege Tank with a strike through the middle. She ran towards a group of Zerglings that were attacking a spore pool. She ran towards them and sliced one in half. She ran towards another one but had to jump back. A Sunken Colony tentacle had just shot through a Zergling. Another tentacle shot out of the ground through another Zergling. Kerigan turned around and saw Raynor, Zeratul and Aldaris (but she didn't know that yet).
Kerigan: Thankyou boys.
Kerigan looked at Aldaris, then at his legs.
Raynor: Your little servant did this to him after YOU killed him!
Kerigan: Aldaris.
Aldaris: Yes Kerigan. I was made like this after I was murdered.
Kerigan's face shot down from her grateful face to one of horror and sadness. She knew what it was to become part Zerg, but for a Protoss this was worse than banishment of a clan. This was what she went through, she was overrun and turned into a Zerg. But that was the work of the Overmind, but this was work of Duran. Something changed when she thought of this, something in her heart. Her knees buckled and she landed on them.
Zeratul: Kerigan?
Raynor: Sarah, what's wrong?
Kerigan looked up and smiled into Raynor's face. The Zerg flesh on her body withdrew from her body. Her blades folded against her back. Her gun dropped from out of the Zerg flesh and her hair went back to the red/orange colour it used to be. She fell on her back.
Raynor: Sarah!
Raynor ran towards Sarah Kerigan as she lay on the ground. He helped her up and she stood groggily on her feet. She got her legs and looked at Raynor.
Kerigan: Jimmy?
Raynor: Oh my God! I-it's really you!
Kerigan: Jimmy! You rat, don't think that!
Raynor: You're a telepath again? You're back!
Zeratul: Welcome back, Sarah Kerigan.
Sarah: We need to stop Duran.
For some reason, the Zerg were still under Sarah's control. Now she was no longer under Zerg influence she could think straighter, smarter. Her forces now flanked the outside as the Terran and Protoss charged up the middle. Some Goliaths and Wraiths shot down a scout ship. It took that many shots to shoot down the ships were because they were upgraded. Back at Shakuras, Zeratul and Raynor had upgraded the armour and firepower of their forces. Some more Scout Ships and Wraiths flew over and started firing on the ground forces. A group of Duran's Wraiths and Mutalisks flew towards the Protoss and Terran. They had the Defense Matrix around them making it harder to destroy them. Raynor shot at Duran's air forces, as did Aldaris and Kerigan.
Raynor: Sarah, can you target nukes?
Sarah: Yes.
Raynor: Target the Barracks over there, we've got buildings down the back. We brought probes and M.C.V's.
Sarah ran towards the Barracks and locked on the nuke. Raynor ran to cover her. Suddenly Zerglings, Hydralisks and Ultralisks surrounded Aldaris and Zeratul. Zeratul felt a new knowledge in him, as did Aldaris. They jumped into each other and started fusing.
