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. p hr p pI know its not as much as the others but I couldn't think of what else to write.
