pChapter 7: Preparation
p
pThe Transports and remaining Scouts flew off towards Shakuras with their
occupants wary and wounded. Many Protoss and Terran lost their lives to the
Zerg forces and Terran forces. The hybrids destroyed four Transports, which
held no occupants but left some warriors stranded on Char. The two Carriers
were shot down and some Scout Ships were taken down with them. The aircraft
zoomed to Shakuras when the sirens sounded. Raynor headed to the cockpit
and Kerrigan stood next to him. Raynor looked at the screen as the
Transport lurched. All the other ships were covered in something that
resembled a Scourge but had a proper body. The Transport echoed as one of
the creatures landed on it. Kerrigan placed a hand on Raynor's shoulders.
pKerrigan: Jim, what is it?
pRaynor: Some creatures are attacking us. Get your gun, we're gonna try
and stop them. Aldaris, Zeratul, get up. We're being attacked!
pRaynor pressed a button on his suit and a breathing apparatus placed
itself on his mouth, Kerrigan did the same but her helmet folded over
instead as a Zerg claw shot through the back of the ship. All the air was
sucked out and the Terran pilot's head instantly swelled. Raynor jumped
forward and hit a button on the wall. The door shut and filled the cockpit
with air but it was too late. The pilot's head had exploded and left the
ship without control. The back of the shop was ripped open and several of
the creatures entered, flapping their wings. They have the wings of a
scourge but the body of an Infested Terran. Zergling claws protruded from
the body and a Zealots head sat on the top. They eyed at the four occupants
of the Transport as their eyes glowed red. The first charged at Kerrigan,
soaring through the ship and aimed a claw at her face. She ducked and
rolled forward to avoid it, aimed her gun at its head and fired. Its head
exploded as Kerigan shot the next one. Raynor jumped up and sliced one in
half and stabbed a second with his lasers. Aldaris used Psi Wave to knock
one back into space and take some with it. Zeratul sliced ones wings off
and drove through with his sword.
brAldaris: We need to get to another ship, this one will just float
forever.
pRaynor nodded in agreement and stepped out of the ship. He saw scout
ships firing at hybrids and one Transport blow up. He scrambled onto the
top and helped Kerrigan do the same. Aldaris followed and Zeratul climbed
up last. Raynor pointed to the closest Transport, which was also the one of
the few which weren't penetrated. Raynor prepared himself and ran. He
reached the edge and leaped forward. He soared through space and collided
with a hybrid. He made it to the Transport and started to tussle with the
hybrid. He rolled over to the edge and nearly rolled off until the hybrid
was killed by Aldaris' Psi Wave. Raynor threw the body off the edge and it
floated away. Kerrigan was next to jump. She leaped off as the Transport
exploded. Zeratul was propelled forward as he grabbed Kerrigan's arm so she
made it. They landed and pressed a button that opened a hatch. Kerrigan
climbed in and pressed a second button which closed the hatch and sealed it
shut. She pressed a third that opened a door which led to the holding room.
Raynor followed with Zeratul behind him and Aldaris last. The occupants
inside the ship were a few Zealots and Dragoons. They looked at Kerrigan
when she entered and the Zealots eyes glowed. Raynor entered and their eyes
lost their angry glare but was replaced with a sign of acceptance. Zeratul
and Aldaris were last and the Protoss bowed their head in a sign of
respect. Zeratul motioned for them to raise their heads as he sat down.
