ZOLTRAN
Only thirty minutes remained until they would leave Earth and launch the Doomsday Device. Zoltran was looking out at the marines that would be leaving with them. Almost all of them had tears in their eyes. Zoltran didn't blame them, their planet was going to be destroyed. The places they grew up, all the memories being left behind. But in all their eyes he also saw known duty, for the good of every Terran, and Protoss citizen that destroying this planet would put the Zerg death march would be put on hold. Zoltran walked to his ship to prepare for launch.

DARGON
The wasp brought down its stinger again. Dargon was hit in the left arm this time. Dargon screamed in pain and rolled over onto his stomach. He switched to X-rounds and shot ten shots into the wasp's stinger. They all exploded but didn't do anything either. The wasp flapped its wings faster now, the wind blew Dargon back again. Dargon's finger accidentally hit the trigger and an X-round went splintering into the wasp's wing. The X-round exploded and the wasp cried out in pain. The wasp started to wobble to one side as it flew. Dargon shot the other wing and the wasp came crashing to the ground. Dargon Shot twenty X-rounds into the wasp's head. The exploded but didn't do any damage. Dargon made a decision to leave it to die of starvation. But Zerg healed, that created a problem. It sounded extreme but Dargon was going to call in a nuclear strike.

"Dargon here, I need this place nuked. Don't ask why right now, I'll explain later."
"Fine, mark it."

Dargon marked it and got out of there. He went back to base and explained his battle after the explosion. Little did he know that darkness still lurked at the site of explosion.

THOMAS BRIDGES
The base was just up ahead, they would make it back before the Doomsday Device was launched. Victory was in sight when The dropship was hit by corrosive acid. Thomas turned to see fifteen Devourers behind them. They had come so far only to die.

"F6 dropship, this is Zero base. Identify yourselves."
"This is squad sixty-six," said Nevikov.
"Dear God. You're the missing marines. We're gonna take out those Devourers, land in the base."
"We're coming in."

Ten missile turrets sprang to action. Missiles flew everywhere killing all of the Devourers. The marines jumped out, told their story and left.

MEANWHILE ON EARTH.........
"Launching the Doomsday Device in thirty seconds. Prepare the escape ships, we only have one hour after it's launched to get out of here."
The time expired and the Terrans remaining on Earth left. One hour later every Protoss and every Terran turned to watch the death of the planet. The planet was gone in one big flash, and that was it. There wasn't one dry Terran eye when the ships left the Human Solar System.

JACK THOMPSON
The battle ended and Jack laid down in his barracks. He loved being a marine. After all that he was promoted to First Sergeant. After ten minutes he fell asleep. He was woken at twelve at night. It was a scientist.

"Sergeant Thompson, there's something I need to show you. It has to do with the Tyrex."

GARY COSWELL
The Zerg attack them early that morning. All of the troops were ready for fighting in two minutes time. Gauss needles sprayed everywhere. Gary moved up leading ten marines into the fray. The Zerg Rush seemed endless. Gary looked out and saw miles of Zerg still coming. Not even NATO forces could hold up against the force of a Rush that big. They would hold on for a while but eventually the unending numbers would overtake them. Gary whipped a grenade into the Rush. It exploded and it took ten zerglings with it. Gary couldn't believe his eyes as Zerg immediately refilled the spot. The NATO forces held on for five hours but Gary and his men couldn't stand up against the force of Umatus.

GRANASH
Granash was a mindless killing machine. In five minutes he had killed ten Terrans. The Queen was pleased he could feel it. The Terrans were weaklings wearing green armor. They were easily overtaken. The Queen was rewarding Granash, she said that to him. If he lived he would be rewarded. Granash was so pleased that he didn't even notice being blown to bits by a spider mine.
