CHAPTER 6 Char arc part 1: No rest for the wicked.

General P.O.V

Levianthan nerve center.

Sarah was looking over which planet to send her brood to. Two choice were ofered to her, first was Char. She could secure the planet to become once again the main hive cluster of the swarm and even regain her control over the wild zerg that were now on it. Or follow a psionic transmission, that one of her broodmother received, that could easely be an ambush.

Yeah, the choice was easy. So with a small psionic pulse, the Leviathan set course.

"Izsha, prepare the swarm. We don't know what we could find on the surface." Kerrigan simply said.

"Of course my queen." Izsha responded. ( Ok quick question : Is Izsha a it or a she ? Because i've seen it written with an it and a she. So I'm really confused. )

" Dehaka, prepare your zergs. I may need you on Char." She said to her new ally.

"Will I collect essence ?" Dehaka asked, with what seemed like hope in his voice.

"Probably not." She simply said.

Kerrigan was sure that if Dehaka could, he would be pouting right now. She had to contain a snort.

It was an interresting image to say the least.

Pushing these thought away, she walked towards Trace's training chamber. Since she showed him what he could do, he was always Wanted to get stronger. While he didn't say it out loud she could hear his thought clearly.

She really needed to show him how to hide his thoughts.

Anyway, he didn't say it out loud but he wanted to have revenge on the dominion. Everytime she asked he would always say that he wanted to be useful to the swarm. She could understand that feeling better than anyone. It hurted to think that Trace couldn't tell her. But if he didn't want to talk about it, she could understand.

Entering the chamber she saw her son, eyes glowing red with psionic energy. He was practising one of his "combos" as he called them. She simply leaned on the wall and watched.

For a good ten seconds, Trace did nothing. Then, with the help of his psionics, he jumped in the air easely reaching 15 meters. With a quick a wave of his hands the now familiar black creep and vicious spine came out of Trace's hand. He also flexed his other arm to make his blade come out. The creep stuck itself on the floor a bit further from him, and with a simple twist of his hand the creep started to take him down. He put up his blade, readying for the the landing.

When he was close to the floor he tensed his muscle, moved his wing blades so that they could cut anything that was close to him and he put a large amount of compressed psionic energy under his feet.

Finally when he reached the floor, his blade plunged into the floor. Next, when his feet touched the floor it created a shockwave of psyonic energy, it could easely stun a terran or even a protoss that were too close to him. His wing blades were also positioned so that any person close to him would be cut to pieces.

It only lasted a couple of seconds.

She couldn't help the proud smile on her face. Heh... She was proud of her son because he was training his technic to kill people.

"I'm really not like most mother, aren't I..." She tought to herself with a chuckle.

She saw that Trace was breathing heavily and was clearly tired.

"That was impressive Trace, you're getting better everyday." Sarah said as she walked toward him. "But you should go rest, we'll be arriving Char later and we don't know what could be on the surface." She added.

"I'm not that tired, I can go on."

Sarah only raised an eyebrow while staring straight into his eyes.

He stared back.

"Alright, I'll go rest." He said after a couple of seconds.

"Good." She simply said.

"Oh and don't even try to practice your psyonics power like last time." She said when he was close to leaving the room.

"Damnit..."

Time skip.

Trace looked at the ball of scorching lava that was Char, glee in his gaze. Why ? Because he just heard who was on the surface.

The Dominion.

It might not be Mengsk but he didn't care, he just wanted to make them pay. He needed to hear them scream.

He never noticed his mother behind him looking at him with concerned eyes.

Everything was ready to launch. Today would mark her first victory agaisnt the Dominion. Not to long ago she would have relished in this but now... now she didn't know how to feel about it. She would go against Warfield today. A man who helped during the Char invasion, a man that helped Jim. She would go against hundreds if not thousands of soldier for what ? A couple of hives and some wild zergs.

And Trace was getting more and more restless. His thoughts that she heard...

It was not something she ever wanted him to think. She didn't want him to think like... well like the Queen of Blades.

She just hoped she could find a way to help him.

She couldn't stop the snort that escaped her.

How could she help him when she was sometimes worst than him ?

Pushing those thoughts away, she stroded towards the sac that would launch her to the surface.

That's when she saw Trace doing the same. She made a split desision. There was no way she was sending her son fight in the emotional state he was.

"Trace !" She said to gain his attention.

"What is it mom." Trace said, a bit of impatience in his voice.

"Go back to the nerve center, you aren't going." She simply said while staring in his crimson eyes.

"What why ?!" He asked, anger and confusion clear on his face.

"Do I really have to say why ? You aren't ready fo this. You would slaughter those soldier and you would enjoy it. And I'll be damned if I let you become bloodlusting psychopath." She said seriously.

He knew she was right but his mind was clouded with anger. He wanthed to say that she was right but what came out was :

"Like you aren't one."

Silence. Complete silence.

He saw her eyes widen. He saw pain in her eyes. Her fist clenched.

He immediatly felt guilty. He knew he shouldn't have said that. how much this affected her.

"Mom I..." He tried to say.

"Don't, just... just go in the nerve chamber." She said as she turned towards the drop pods, her tone blank.

With that, Trace could only watch as his mother entered the zerg sac. Only guilt and regret on his mind as he walked towards where she asked him to go.

Char's surface.

Small time skip.

Kerrigan looked over her newly created base. Two lair were already set up for more larva, drones were working on minerals or on the vespene gaz to finance her army.

Close to twenty zerglings, seven roaches and the three aberrations that were hidden close to her base, all of them were situated a bit further than her base to stop any enemy forces that tried to attack her base.

But there was one problem, no attack ever came to her base. She also expected Warfield to contact her but again no sign from him.

It was strange to say the least.

"My queen, a nuclear launch has been detected." Izsha said.

"Is it set on our base ?" She asked, already moving any units that could be armed inside her base.

"No my queen, it seems that it has been set on the location of one of the terran outpost."

"What the hell is going on ?" She whispered to herself. "Izsha, scan the perimeter where it is set to go of, something isn't right." She commanded her assistant.

"As you wish." It simply said.

While it was doing this, she ordered her larvas to morph into offensive units. She also went out of her base to join her troops.

*BOOOOOOM*

"There goes that nuke." She thought, eyeing the mushroom of fire.

"Izsha, what was in that area." She asked.

"Zerg forces were detected my queen." Izsha said.

"Zergs ? Were those wild zergs ?" She asked while ordering her troops to be on high alert.

"No my queen, something else was controling them. It seems that a broodmother has build a colony and has been atacking the terrans."

"A broodmother ? Well let me show her who the real leader of the zerg is." She stated while searching for any high psionic energy.

And find she did, but what she found couldn't be a broodmother. The thing's mind was twisted, feral even. The only thing she could sense from it was rage, hatred and... pain.

"Izsha try to get a visual on that thing while I go in." She said while walking in front of the zerg troops.

"Of course my queen."

Sarah continued her march towards the nearest dominion outpost, passing a couple of scourge nest. She ordered a queen to make a tumor close to them. They could be useful later.

A couple of meter from the scourge nest, she saw hundreds of corpses lithering the ground. Most of them were zergs but a lot were terrans. Marines impaled by spines, hellion ripped open by zerglings, marauders melted off by roaches and so much more gruesome death.

It worried Sarah, what could possibly be the thing that was controlling them and why were they attacking Warfield.

She pushed those thoughts away, she had a mission to do and she would finish it.

As she walked along her troops she noticed something : a lot of those marines had blue armors with the raider's insignia.

That made her pause. Why would there be some of Jim's men here. Were they fighting the Dominion or were they working together ?

Not a second later, she sensed hundreds of people entering the system.

More importantly she sensed Jim.

She connected with Jim psionicly hoping to get some answers.

"Hey darlin', miss me ?" He sent to her psionicly. She could almost see his grin.

"Me ? Of course not." She teased right back.

"You know, I didn't expect to see you here." Jim said.

"If this is one of your shitty pick up line I don't want to hear it." She deadpanned.

"Shame. Anyway, what are you doing here Sarah ?" He asked.

"I came here to gain back control on the feral zerg. I swear Jim I didn't know Warfield would be here." She added.

"Don't worry darlin' I believe you. Anyway we might be able to help eachother." Jim said, not even realising how much what he said meant to her.

"How so ?" She asked curiously.

"Well you probably already saw that some of my boys were already on the surface, right ?" He asked.

She looked back to the marauder that was almost completly melted off. She had to wince.

"Yes ?"

"Well you see, this place isn't a Dominion facility. It was supposed to be one but lets just say that Warfield and his men had a change of heart." He chuckled when he sensed her surprise. "So now this place is or atleast was a place where the civilians that me and my boys rescued where sent here. Here they would be sent to a colony that needed workers or simply sent to live on another. Or sometimes some stayed and were trained."

"But we received a message from Warfield saying that the wild zerg sundently attacked. We already lost alot of soldiers and civilians." He said grimly.

"You already sensed the thing that is controlling them right ?" He asked after a couple of seconds of silence.

"I did, but what is that thing ?" She asked.

He didn't respond for a bit, worrying her a bit.

"During one mission we found the location of a secret research lab of the Dominion. The place was heavily reinforced. It was also full of protoss and zerg. They were doing some sort of experiment on them." He said.

That made Sarah worry even more. Knowing Mengsk these experiment couldn't end well.

" They... they were trying to fuse zerg and protoss DNA." He said, shocking Sarah. "There was one hybrid on the station. It was unstopable. Bullets did nothing to it, it shrugged of explosions... I lost a lot of men because of that thing." He said.

"I thought there was only one station like this. I was wrong. There are hundreds if not thousands of those."

"Jim, what does this has to do with anything ?" She asked, hoping with all her heart this wasn't going where she thought it would.

"Darlin', the thing that is attacking this place is an hybrid. A failed hybrid to be more precise." He sighed.

What a twist ~!

Hey guys I hope you enjoyed this chapter ! Sorry this one took a lot more time than I thought it would. Hell, I think I rewrote it atleast five times before I wrote this one. Anyway as you probably saw, this will be a small arc for Char.

Anyway, one of the main reason why I didn't post anything was because the last two weeks were really chaotic to say the least. I had atleast one test every two day at school so my attention was on studying. I also now take pills to help me concentrate because it became a problem last week as I was spacing out during an important test.

Also, would you guys like it if put my name on and Steam on my profile ? I would love nothing more than to play with you guys !

Reviews : Godzilla King of Monsters : wow... well thank you. This means a lot to be honest.

sygiko : Ask and you shall receive.
