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.
