Inspired by the fanfiction 'Princess of the Swarm' by Howling Din, I thought to use his OC Saraslha as a commanding leader in Halo wars 2. Please check out his story since it's good and to know some background info about her. I will make certain changes about her. First part of the story is a summary of Princess of the Swarm, so I recommend not reading it till after you read Din's story.

Ever since the peace treaty between the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg; many focus on rebuilding their lost forces and homes. Zagara had Abathur to create a new successor of the swarm using Terran essence thus creating a humanoid zerg. Saraslha was the name Zagara named her as her daughter. Saraslha spent her early life studying history and events that has occurred before her birth. At the age of four, she was sent on a mission/test to clear or control the rebel zerg off a Terran claimed planet. She succeeded her mission and meet other people. Ghost lady Nova, first interaction with a Terran, and Broodmother Rindell, who became her follower and friend. Later her life, she made a great change that no one ever thought it was possible, trade. The first ever in history to established trade between the Zerg and Terran. With much credits earned, Saraslha brought some tech and a special made Viking for herself. After many events of her life, things started to slow down and Zagara thought to sent her on a scouting mission for anything new.

[Leviathan] 3rd pov

In the void of space, at the very edge of the Koprulu Sector, Salaslha had fought off some rebel zerg and claimed new planets for the swarm. Salaslha was thinking to whether to head back to Char or to continue scouting this section of space. The Leviathan soon came to visual range of a new planet or not. Salaslha was interested in its unique shape of the world, but they came closer it wasn't a planet at all.

"What is this? It's like some massive construction with a overall layer of a planet. It's by far bigger than any Protoss contrsuction" Saraslha viewed the Ark.

"I do not know, Princess. Either do the rest" Rindell replied.

"This is too big to let go. Rindell have scouts ready, we're going towards it."

"Yes, Princess" Rindell gave a psionic command of loading zerg units into Overlords.

The Leviathan head toward the Array and deploy overlords onto the surface. Zerglings were dropped off to scout the area and Overlords floating on standby. Zerglings ran around the surface looking for anything of interest. A couple zerglings came up to a buliding and Saraslha watch from their point of view.

"A buliding of some sort?" Saraslha observed as the zerglings jogged around the place. "It's all damaged, I wondered what could have done this? Damages aren't done by normal means, so it might be of high-tech like the protoss"

*Gunfire and explosion sounds*

"What ever it is, they seem to be close. Zerglings get a visual on the target and Rindell have my zerg force ready for drop", Saraslha said before heading into her Viking Chamber.

The Viking Chamber, the only room in the Leviathan containing much of Terran Technology that the Princess can use freely. The main purpose is to house a Viking for the Princess to use. Why you may ask. Because it's boring to sit inside an Overlord throughout its travel. Also since her body lacks a main weapon of attack, the Viking can cover it for her.

She gets in her Mecha Viking and heads down to the surface to see the action herself.

The Zerglings have arrived at the scene where two armies are fighting each other. On one side were humans in light armor and some car with a turret on the back and the other side were unknown aliens.

"Princess, the Terrans are here! And they are fighting the new kind of race" Rindell called out.

"Wha- How? There is no way the Terran would be this far off of in space." Salaslha then looks at the psionic image her Zerglings were seeing, "These soldiers aren't even wearing CMC-Armor! All marines wears one."

"That I do not know, Princess. These Terrans seem... ill-equip" Rindell saw their armor and guns inferior to a common Terran Marine.

"That's for sure." Saraslha can see the lack of firepower and protection from their equipment. Doesn't seem their armor can protect them from a single spine nor their guns can penetrate deep enough through Carapace.

"The Terrans are being pushed back and suffering losses. They will not survive long." Rindell predicted their death.

"Launch the Sacs near onto the battlefield." By the Princess command, the Leviathan fires of Sacs, loaded with Hydralisk, Roaches and Zerglings, toward the surface.

"Why must we help these unknown Terrans, Princess?" Rindell questioning why they should help the unknown.

"You'll see why later on, Rindell." Continues to fly her Viking closer to her destination.

"Sir, squadron Delta are taking heavy fire and reinforcements are too far away to reach them in time" Isabel said.

"..." Captain Cuttern isn't likeing this news at all "Deplo-"

"Captain! Unknown bio-reading falling toward the field." Placing up a video feed of these bio-pods raining down onto the ground.

[Battle Ground]

"Incoming!" Marine 1 yelled as the Sacs approached.

The Sacs crashed landed and then multiple large snake-like creatures slithering out and started attacking the Banished.

"What the f**k are those things?!" Marine 2 asked.

"Who s**t, it's the flood!" Marine 3 said.

"Doesn't look like any flood I fought." Marine 4 said.

"Marines! Retreat! There's too many on the battle field." Squad leader Marine ordered.

"Yes Sir!" Marines yelled and quickly back off the from the hot zone.

A non-UNSC ship arrived and transformed into a walker and attacked the Banished troops.

"Since when did a ship had a transforming ability?" Marine 5 asked.

(Saraslha POV)

'Let's see how our new enemy plays out.' I said to myself. 'We have no information on the enemy nor the weapons they use. I hope my forces loss is minimal'

Zerglings quickly rushed at the enemy, Roaches making the front line while the Hydralisk supported from the behind. Grunts were scared once when the Zerglings were close and about to pounce on them. Rounds of plasma from the Elites have killed some Zerglings and the Brute, with a Gravity Hammer, easily knocked away a Zergling who got close to the side. Soon a small rain of acid landed of the enemy. Energy shield did their job protecting the user against spines, but the acid spit quickly wipe out the shields and burning their armor. Elites quickly dodge the deadly acid and focus fire on the Roaches. Brutes used their jet packs to close in the enemy, but soon was counter by spines piercing their armor and body. Few Brutes manage to land a deadly blow on a Roach, but soon clawed to death by another Roach or Hydralisk. Grunts were quickly picked off by Zerglings, seeing their Plasma pistol or Needler doing little damage against a foe, who outmatch them in durability, speed, and claws. Few were lucky to stuck a plasma grenade on a Zergling or were committed to go suicidal. The Elites were the last of the group.

Shooting lasers at the unknown enemy. I observed to entire battle. Their weapons mainly consisted of Plasma with some other types. The little creature could be easily taken care from Zergling's attack. The large apes are the muscle of the group and the shielded soldiers are the skilled warriors.

Soon the last Elite burned in acid. I ordered her forces to hide somewhere else until they are needed and Zerglings to continue their scout on the surface. Hoping to find a suitable place to set up base or find anything interesting.

"Seem like a good time to leave." I switch the 'Fighter mode' and head back to my Leviathan.

"Reinforcement has arrived and the enemy is already destoryed, sir" Isabel reported.

"Why would these creatures come to fight then just leave?" Cutter asked "Anders any explaination?"

"Hard to say sir, but I think it has to do with that ship" Anders zooming on the image on the Viking (Fighter mode) "It may be the one controlling them, sir".

"Seeing as it just fought and left at the same time as the creatures, it is a high possibility" Isabel reviewed the video.

"Whatever it may is, it fighting against the Banish. I don't know what it may want so we'll keep our distance and focus on what the Banished are up to" Cutter said.

"Yes captain"


[Leviathan]

"Rindell I'm back~" Saraslha step on foot back on the Leviathan.

"Princess you have returned." Rindell greeted her back.

"Did you find anything interesting?" Saraslha asked

"The surface has very few mineral to rebuild our forces" Rindell reported.

"I see, then let us find a possible location to for a Hatchery." Saraslha planned.

'Ship detected' The Leviathan sensed. A large ship came into view. About half the size of the Princess's Leviathan 2.0. The main words you can see are, 'UNSC Spirit of Fire'.

"So this is their Captial ship, seems pretty different from a Battlecruiser." Looking the details and shape and comparing the difference to the Terran.

"Their weaponry isn't as effective as the Terran" Rindell observed

"True, but it is efficient enough to handle whatever enemy they are currently fighting with."
