CHAPTER 7
"Who
are you?" I asked the infested human.
"That is not of
importance at this particular time." He turned away form me and
looked at Kerrigan, "Kerrigan... you've grown."
"Who
are you unknown!" Kerrigan shouted with rage filled in every
word.
"Taramis. That is all you need to know. John?" I
responded with a heads up, "John. We will meet again. I promise
that."
Suddenly Taramis Spread out his wing and flew
off.
"Kerrigan..." I started," Do you...know
him?"
"No. Everything after the time that
we-"
"Kerrigan!" James interrupted, "Shall we
not?"
"Your right James. C'mon everyone! lets head out." What was Kerrigan going to say? Could it be the dream I had on the ship? That seemed so odd. Dreaming of Kerrigan and Raynor. finding a human incased in a zerg egg. WAIT! that's it! the egg was half human half zerg. taramis was an infested.
FLASHBACK
"We will meet again john. I'm sure of that."
UNFLASHBACK that was it. Taramis was my father. But, if Taramis
was my father then I'm...
"KERRIGAN!" I shouted
loudly.
"What Fool?"
"I have to tell you
something."
"Is it your memory?" Kerrigan abruptly
became interested in what I had to say.
"Sort of. Taramis is
my... he's my father."
"John. How can you be so sure?
The overmind has no records whatsoever of an infested human other
then James and I. And... one other."
"It's me! I'm the
other Kerrigan!"
"Are you saying that you are an
infested?"
"EXACTLY!"
James
quickly interrupted, "Shut up John! You are just of that fact
that we possess greater powers then you. So, what do you do John? You
make a crazy story."
I turned to Kerrigan who during that
speech had been extremely quiet.
"Kerrigan," I started,
"I can see how that's possible. John. In you dream, do you
remember the egg?"
"I
know it's me! The only reason I don't look majorly infested like you
two was because Taramis was part human and my mother, who I know by
the way, Is 100 human. That made it hard for the infested cells to
fully corrupt my body."
Kerrigan was starring at the lifeless
icy ground still thinking.
"This is all we can go by. And
frankly I have to say it sounds pretty convincing. For now we should
keep walking. We need to get this information to the overmind and let
them know what we've discovered."
After
a whopping two days in the canyon we had finally gained sight of the
overmind. It was gigantic. Hovering around the overmind were
guardians and devourers. The protection they had around the overmind
was overbearing. they had had a better defensive line then even the
terran.
Kerrigan then interrupted my 'moment', "C'mon John.
We need to get to the overmind. Matriarch is waiting."
"Who's
Matriarch?" I asked.
"She is the queen...Sort of. She
produces the hunter killers."
"who are they?"
"Doesn't
the name speak for itself john?" James interrupted.
"James?
Shut up!" Kerrigan said. It was as if the more time I talked
with Kerrigan the more distant she became with James. And James knew
it too. I could tell by the smirks he'd given me through the first
time we were all together.
"Well,
let's head down boys."
We followed behind Kerrigan as we
walked down the mountain side. We came to the entrance of the
Overmind and two hunter killers stood at the door.
" Hello
hunters. Nice day today isn't it?"
"Rah! erg rah!"
I had know idea what they said but somehow Kerrigan knew.
"Well,
thank you. I guess being in the ice makes my appearance look better
no?"
"Kerrigan? are you having another moment?"
James said with hostility.
"Ahem! sorry. lets roll!"
Kerrigan took the lead once more. You would expect the overmind to be
filled with slime and gut-like walls, but the Overmind was nothing of
the sort. It was more sophisticated then the terran's bases. The
hunter killers didn't seem smart from appearance, but inside, there
minds were ten times more advanced then the mind of a human. I knew
because the codes they were inserting in the computers were something
I, myself, had never even seen before.
"Hurry you human!"
James shoved me forward.
"Shut up James! what is with you!
You've been such an asshole lately!" James gave me that same
smirk and bumped my shoulder as he walked by.
"hurry up."
he turned slightly and said.
We all stepped in the elevator and
went down.
"humph...funny." I whispered to
myself.
"What's so funny John?" Kerrigan
responded.
"It's just. Mostly every main base has the leader
at the top, not the bottom."
"And, may I ask? How is
that funny?"
"ugh.. nevermind! Jeez! u zerg have no
sense of humor."
"Oh, we do. We just have a different
sense of what's funny and what's not."
"ok..." I
kept my mouth shut. It seemed ever time I tried to back myself up
when Kerrigan made fun of me, it resulted in me getting dissed even
worse.
We made it to the bottom-most floor and stepped out. Four
hunter killers awaited us at the door.
"Rah! Rah!"
"Thank
you. follow me boys." Kerrigan said.
