CHAPTER 10

We looked at each other. James and I then turned and looked at Kerrigan's body.
"it's...gone!" I said. Kerrigan's body was missing. Had Taramis took it? there was only one way to find out, and that was to find a way to get Taramis to the overmind for a few questions.
"What are we going to tell the matriarch?" James shouted.
"We don't. I know how we can get Taramis here."
"Why do you want him here?"
"Questioning James. I want to find out why he controlled me. Why he didn't just save Kerrigan himself."
"Alright what's the plan?"
"Go spread word that the queen has been captured and taken prisoner in the overmind."
"K..." James ran off.
After about a week, the word had spread throughout the whole planet. James had done a good job. We sat at the main entrance of the overmind hoping Taramis would come. And he did.
"Hello boys. If you don't mind. I need to speak with the Matriarch." We stepped in front of him, blocking his way.
"No Taramis, we do mind. Now sit down!"
"And if I don't?"
"oh... you will." James came from behind and forced him in his chair.
"Now answer a few questions."
"hit me." James came up behind Taramis and slapped him across the head.
"IT WAS A JOKE FOOL!"
"Sorry! heheh. I've always wanted to do that."
"Now Taramis. Did you control me during battle? Ya know.. to save Kerrigan?"
"Those two questions... the first is yes I did control you. The second is no. not to save Kerrigan."
"Then why control me at all!"
"I did it to kill Kerrigan!" I was speechless. Taramis Pulled his chair out and walked away. Just as he was about to enter the elevator, I spoke with a sad agonizing voice, "Why...why Taramis..." Taramis stopped. He turned around and walked toward the table, pulled out the chair and sat down again.
"Why? WHY!" He yelled. His voice echoed through the overmind.
"That there. THAT WAS NOT KERRIGAN!"
"I don't understand..."
"It's a new species the Xel Naga made 5 years ago. When infested Kerrigan first came out to the public."
"but... if that's a new species then Kerrigan is already?"
"Yes.. she's been gone John. We...were friends."
"How did u meet?" James asked.
"We met on Aiur."
"Why the hell were you on Aiur?"
"Do you remember the tales of me? How I ran away from char?"
"Ya Matriarch told us about it."
"I was banished."
"BY WHO!" I yelled.
"The King."
"Who was that at the time?" James asked another question.
"King Gantigar. he told them I raped your mother John. but... we were in love."
"You and my mother?"
"Did I stutter? yes. She didn't care what a looked like. To Gantigar, I was an experiment. To your mother, I was a gift. And the same night that your mother gave birth to you, I was banished from Char forever and sent to life on Aiur."
"I'm sorry. She is still alive you know Taramis."
"Do.. do my ears lie? She is still alive? I must see her."
"Now wait a second. We need to find this new species."
"true. shall we venture together?"
"I do have a quick question." James said.
"yes James?" Taramis responded.
"What is the species made of?"
"It a tri-mutant. It's human, zerg, and protoss."
"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!" I asked him.
"When I was banished to Aiur, they took me and used my blood in the experiment. Then used Fenix's blood in it. They used a clone of Kerrigan."
"Amazing..." James said. Taramis turned his head to James and gave him the mean gaze.
"Well, it's not... what I meant was... gulp"
"Lets go Taramis. James c'mon."
"WAIT," Taramis yelled across the room, "I have some unfinished business to take of with the queen. Follow me." We entered the elevator and took it down to the throne room.
