Chapter 4
Zeratul and Steven had warped through space to come up to a massive fleet of Protoss warships. Some were small one man fighters called Phoenixes, led by Phoenix pilot Admiral Urun. Some were grey ships with crystals in the nose called Void Rays, led by Dark Prelate Mohander. Some were massive capital ships with launch-able robotic interceptors to fight for them, called Carriers, led by Executor Selendis. All were lead by a rotating enormous Mothership that lead the fleet, called the Shield of Aiur, headed by Hierarch Artanis. Zeratul piloted the Void-Seeker into the Shield of Aiur, landing in the docks. Zeratul and Steven stepped out, meeting Artanis.
Artanis: Zeratul. You have returned. What happened on Earth?
Zeratul: The Gems and Earth were overwhelmed. The two of us were the only survivors.
Artanis: And who is the Terran you've brought on board?
Zeratul: This is no mere Terran. He is the son of Rose Quartz.
Artanis: The Rose Quartz. The one who rebelled against those who turned against us? She is a legend amongst the Protoss. It was prophesied that when Rose Quartz returned, she would lead our race. If you are truly her Terran/Protoss offspring, then by extension, you are the one who will lead us.
All the protoss bowed down towards Steven, including Artanis and Zeratul.
Steven: But, I can't. I'm not a leader. I can't even decide what to wear in the morning. I can't do this.
Artanis: I can train you.
Zeratul: As can I. We can train you in the arts of the Light and the Shadows.
Artanis: And you can still lead us from the safety of this ship. Will you do it?
Steven: Oh. Alright. I'll do it.
Several minutes later, Steven was sitting in the chair Artanis sat in.
Zeratul: Your orders.
Steven: We do what you said before. Go to every protoss controlled planet, and wipe out the Zerg one planet at a time, taking every protoss we can.
Artanis: There are two planets we've made contact with. Kaldir and Monlyth. We will have time to go to both, but it would be risky to go to both at the same time and split up our forces, so I say we hit one at a time. Kaldir is an ice world that occasionally drops to freezing temperatures. To counter this, the Kaldir protoss designed massive robot walkers called Colossi with thermal beam attacks that burn through the flash freezes. Monlyth protoss have to face dangers of rockslides. So they developed robotic variants of the dragoon known as Immortals. Their shields will deflect most any heavy damage, and their phase disruptors destroy the rocks. Where should we go first?
Steven: How about...
Leave a review telling where the Protoss should go first. Kaldir for the Colossi, or Monlyth for the Immortals?
