Chapter 4: Preparations
It had been 4 days since the death of Kardum. Also two days later after kardum's death Zeratul's destroyed shuttle was also found. Over 100 feet away was the body of Zeratul himself. It was a sad loss for the protoss. Yet they had bigger problems to face. Since some zerglings were killed it was highly probable that many broods were over to destroy the protoss base. The burial for Kardum and Zeratul was held on this day. Yet Kardum's body wasn't in the disintegratiotn capsule. For when a team went to find his body at the remnants of the overlord. The overlord had somehow disepeared. Yet Keral knew that he couldn't have lived that blow. So a proper burial was held in his honor.
After the burial the protoss prepared for immediate evacuation. They had no time to lose. Sure the protoss are natural born warriors. But they would never fight a hopeless battle. The protoss may have an advantage technology wise but the zerg were to great in numbers.
"What would be the estimated time before we can fully evacuate?" Asked Seradan.
(NOTE: Seradan is the protoss praetor. He replaced Artanis after his fall in the second battle of braxis.)
"Well I think well be gone in about an hour." Raynor replied.
Raynor's raiders were also evacuating with the protoss. He wanted to stay and fight but he had to get Keral and Seia to safety. He had made a vow to Zeratul that he would take care of his children.
Flasback * POV Raynor's 15 years ago
"Well I never thought I'd see the day." Raynor said.
Raynor was staring at the two human children who were asleep on a smal bed Zeratul had prepared for them. It had been 3 days since Zeratul brought them home and adopted these two children.
"I'd consider these two to be very lucky" Raynor said. "Lucky that you attacked their base instead of someone else. I mean if you didn't attack that base they probably would have been killed or sumthin like that"
"That is a rather cruel way of putting it captain Raynor but I do agree with you" Zeratul responded.
"So what you named them?" Raynor asked.
"I have not yet thought of a name for them." Zeratul answered.
May I suggest sumthin' ?" Asked Raynor.
"Why be my guest Captain Raynor. You have helped us so many times that you not need to ask for a thing like this." Zeratul said with joy.
"Geez! I'm blushing. One thing I like about you protoss you never insult us." Raynor said.
"Thank you for the compliment. What kind of name did you have in mind for them?" Zeratul asked.
"Well not Them more like Her. I was thinking about Seia." Raynor suggested
"Why that is an excellent name. Any reason why you chose that name?" "Yeah. I had a daughter named Seia before".
"What happened to her?".
"Don't ask please.".
"Very well"
"Now what about the boy?"
"I had a name in mind"
"Well let's hear it. Im anxious to hear your unique Protoss name for him."
"I was thinking of ..... Kardum."
"Hey not bad. Not bad at all. I think that's a great name."
"Then Kardum and Seia it shall be then"
"Good selection. Be assured Zeratul. If you die ill make sure they're ok."
"And what makes you say ill die before you do Captain Raynor?"
"Did you not hear the main word? I said IF you die."
Both of them laughed at Raynor's joke.
"Very well then. If I die they're for you to protect" Zeratul said.
"Aye Aye Sir!" Raynor answered.
Flashback Ends *
"Raynor? Captain Raynor? Hello?" Seradan was waving his arm in front of raynor's face.
"Huh? Oh sorry about that. Anyway I gotta go to the Restoration Facility (Hospital). I promised Keral id go there." Raynor said.
"En Taro Adun then Captain raynor" Seradan said.
"Yeah same to ya" Raynor answered.
Raynor then left to the restoration facility. After 20 minutes he made to the 16th floor were Seia was in Intensive care. She was badly beaten by those zerglings. She had a deep gash in her back and Multiple cuts over her arms and her legs. The wound the most visible was the one over her eyes. Raynor entered the room and saw her capsule dead ahead. (That capsule is were a patient is placed under-water with a oxygen mask) Her body seemed lifeless. Her arms were floating over her head and showed no sign of trying to go back down. Raynor scanned the area to see Keral standing in front of the capsule. His eyes were pale green. Raynor could see how sad Keral was. The loss was far more great to him. He had loss a father and a brother. And he had almost lost his sister.
"Hey man. How she doing?" Raynor asked.
"Not so good. They said she'll be ok but that when she wakes up she'll be blind. And she'll probably be blind forever." Keral said.
"Don't worry. As soon as we evacuate well figure out a way to help her out when she's blind. The main thing is that she's safe. Now we better go and start the evacuating. Ill let you come on the hyperion. As for Seia she's supposed to be on the Gantrithor II." Raynor said.
"Yeah I guess. Lets go"
45 minutes later*
Keral and raynor were at the Hyperion's bridge. They could see through the view screen that all of the protoss had begun evacuation.
"Alright boys. Get us out of here." Raynor ordered.
And so the hyperion lifted off and went off into high orbit and Keral stared at Shakuras as it was disapearing from sight. "Goodbye old buddy" He thought and started to walk to his quarters.
