Chapter 261 - Escape from Mar Sara

Alexander groaned as He send a letter to the Confederacy concerning of the action taken by Edmund Duke, and reports of the Zerg have begun their infestation on the outlying towns of Mars Sara. And the Confederacy did nothing to stem the tide as they locked up the hive cities vast armouries.

"Look here Governor, I have the authority and I say that you and your private militia is grounded, and you are tasked to send the citizens to the outskirts of your capitol. And remain there until further notice. And I already apprehended your sheriff Raynor for he acted out." The screen shown Edmund Duke smirking at him.

"How the fuck, you want 500 million souls enter in the outskirts? We are better off staying in the city." Alexander glared at the screen.

"Nevertheless, you are to remain at your post. That is final." Duke glared at Alexander as the screen faded.

"I showed you who's the boss." Alexander grumbled. He opened up another screen that is encrypted, leading to a mercenary guild.

"Yes boss?"

"Tychus, is your crew ready?"

"About a hafta done. Is it true then? You going to succeed from the confederacy"

"Yes, and I am done with them because they are bastard to hung us out to dry, I would like your expertise to break Raynor out from the Prison ship. And go nuts with the ammunition."

"Can I ride my new toy?"

"Tychus... Soon, the Odin is unable to fit into the docking bay without the Confederate morons looking at us. I will relay you to the ship coordinates and information, and free your old pal, the money is already deposited into your guild account."

"Sweet, Saving my pal, Cracking confederate skulls and get paid... This just keep getting better and better." Tychus smiled.

"And the faster you do it, the better the bonuses. Perhaps I would officially give you the Odin with free maintenance, after all, a Big boy like you should need big guns."

"You sure know how to push my buttons, huh Governor."

"If Raynor could trust you. I shall as well."

"You put trust on both of us so easily... What's the catch."

"There will be a war beyond the stars, far beyond the Confederacy, and you would be Mar Sara Hero against the darkness. After all, someone going to need that Raw Hunk of a man, to be the image of the defenders of humanity. And I picked you two to be that symbol. And Raynor needs you by his side."

"So you know us that well huh?"

Tychus grin as he closed off the comms.

Alexander stared at the ceiling as he begin to prepped his rebellion. Reason he sent Tychus was that he would not owe Mengsk a favor. And knowing him. He would definitely save Raynor even without telling Alexander.

He tried being nice to the Confederacy.

Looting his wealth is one thing

But massacring the people that put their faith in him is another.

There was a underground Space port below Mars Sara that Alexander slowly trickle the residents in. Each screened from the Zerg pathogens.

And now they have a leeway.

As the Zerg now Approaching his Hive city. And the confederacy did nothing.

"Let's Kick this Revolution into overtime." He stood up and headed to the Podium he set up.

The halls were scarcely filled, as Techpriest and a occasional Skull Servitor Probe floated by.

He stood upon a empty podium.

He looked at the Cameras that the servitor skulls floated above him.

As he is making a illegal broadcast, that is connect to all media.

"Greetings, Citizens of The Confederacy, I am Alexander Solair, the System Governor of Mars Sara.

I came to you to listen my words.

The Confederacy have brought in a Plague of a Xenos beyond our controlled space, and in vain attempt to control it, have japodise my people and humanity as a whole. Here is my proof"

Several pictures and documents he gathered to be shown to the outside world.

"This is the Zerg.

It is a force of nature.

It is a hivemind that would devour everything."

A video was shown of the attack of Chau Sara. Where the Zerg attacked them.

"The Confederacy use our beloved people to be experimented by combining us with these monsters. And they even dare to put it in a planet that is under my control, people lives were lost. People like you and me, that we had nothing to do with the politics of the elites, they allowed these monsters to infest my world and now they kept me in chains because I am unable to be free.

They believed that by silencing me and my people, they would come in like heroes as they pretend to chase off the Zerg.

I call it pretend, as they brought in the specimen, they allowed the Hive Mind to find our home, our family and planets we control.

They know where we are and they are spreading their darkness towards us."

Alexander could hear the collective gasp behind the screens.

"I will be making a formal resignation and declare that Mars Sara would be Succeeded from the Confederacy and form the Celestial Imperium!

I will assure you, sons and daughters of Confederacy. I am not going to be a dictator like the confederacy. I will ensure that the fringes worlds would get their voice!

I will not let the symbol of Korhal be forgotten! My friend died for what he believes in! And he and his wife was killed by the Ghost of the Confederacy!

If you see our soldiers, don't be afraid.

We are here to liberate and defend against the bloated and corrupted Confederacy that did nothing!

Even now they sent their finest to apprehend me and to kill what little hope remains!

Rise up Children of Mars Sara!

Join me to overthrow the yoke of tyranny!

Those that follow would be richly rewarded and your place in the heaven ordained by the God Emperor would be assured that your soul would meet a end.

Those that refuse, I understand, may you stay behind and give our accounts that we live as humans... As we are the ones that will die free!"

There was a crash and several Terran Marines barged into the broadcast.

"This is a illegal broadcast and you are now the enemy of the state!"

"So be it! You going to doomed us all anyway!" The broadcast was shot down.

The podium rumbled as the entire city was falling apart. The Zerg have rushed into the inactive defenses and flooded the Hive City.

Zerg creeps spread like wildfire as starships broke free from the land and carried the survivors away from the system.

The Terran Marines that were supposed to apprehend Alexander are confused as the situation gotten out of control.

The captive planetary defense force heard Alexander speech, broke free from their stockade and the chaos made the commander left in charge by Duke was sweating bullets.

"Sir! Cell block 6 through 17 have broken free! They are requesting orders!" The officer yelled as he saw several soldiers broke free.

And the guards in charge was killed instantly

Before Alexander speech, he sent plenty of Imperium Assassin of various cults into the hive with one strict orders.

"Kill everything in guard of the prison block and those that have Confederacy leadership." And the stripes on their uniforms and power armor was a dead giveaway. To the normal humans that was detained. It was like a blur the moment they stepped out to rebel.

Some of them managed to get the CMC suits dead occupant out and found out that it is still functional.

"Holy shit sir! How on earth..." The iff signal of the confederacy was wiped out in mere hours. And the infestation of the Zerg is not making it much better.

"The rebels have gotten in the armory and motor pool!"

"What about the rebel supposed mechanics!?" The commander bellowed.

"They broken free! They are now activating the defenses of the city and attacking both the defender and the Zerg!"

The Prison block that held the Engineseers was broken not from outside, but from within.

They allowed themselves to be capture out of formality. But when Alexander started the rebellion.

They stood with silence that made their captors scared.

Their mechadendrites flowed out of their robes and in a swift blow to the defenders head, the ones that was affected was screaming in pain, despite the fact their suits stuffed them with painkillers to kill a elephant. The captured power suit was hijacked.

Those that was just barely away from the cells. Watched as their former companions in horor as they were crudely lobotomized and fired back.

"Hey! It's me Charlie!" One of the guards yelled as he fired back at the horde of red robe.

He stare at the walking corpse of his companion that is blindly firing back at his location.

"Phil, that guy is gone!" His squad leader yelled as he shot the lobotomized man. Killing him instantly.

But the power armor that held the corpse still walk towards them.

"How the fuck..." The last moment Phil saw was charlie dead glazed eyes as the power suit grabbed him and blown up.

The power armors arrived at their destination and it became improvised bomb as the power cells went into a meltdown and exploded taking the defenders in the explosion.

In the midst of the explosion, the red robed techpriests simply walked through the irradiated corridors and activated the defenses.

The broadcast was shut down. But the news was already disseminated amongst the population.

The information is spread to every media outlet, every journalist and investigator had the documents in their hands and it became a riots on the capital streets of Tarsonis.

Much more infectious than Mengsk that is leading the sons of Korhal. Where they commit actions that deemed danger to the people.

The people think of them as a Terrorist group, due to propaganda.

But Alexander Solair was perfectly clean.

He had no animosity with the Confederacy.

And the information that the Confederacy turning Mars Sara that was the jewel of the fringe world as a Weapon testing grounds and a deterrance backfired on them.

The confederacy forgotten that he was the major contributor of their finances. Almost every company in Terran space is owned by him through shell companies and middle men that is loyal to him.

The media attack made by Alexander shaken the Confederacy as they attempted to put out the fires, by killing the independent journalist and marshal law, as they blasted their propaganda, but it grow worse. As the Zerg attacked them as what Alexander said.

And the order was sent out to Duke, by then the transmission failed to reach him in time as the Zerg overwhelmed his defenses. Causing him to flee toward space.

But forced to crash-land into the outskirts of the hive world.

The civilians of the planet managed to escape the planet and fled to the outskirts of Confederacy controlled domains. Housing in systems that is occupied by Alexander forces, outside of Confederacy and the warpath of the United Earth Directorate expedition fleets.

Leaving Alexander and his soldiers in the frontlines.

He didn't bother of the amount of danger he put himself into and his soldiers knew that. But he is aware that if they lose, he would be the Next Zerg Hivemind project.

It took three days to wipe the defenders of the confederacy and Zerg from the hive city.

He watched as Tychus arrived with Raynor and he was surprised to see a redhead woman with them.

"Who's that lady with you?" Alexander raised his eyebrows.

Tychus stepped out and spoke.

"Boss... Seemed like she was there at the prison ship first, but decided to tag us Bois along. Name's Sarah Kerrigan and ole' jimmy over here is smitten with her." Tychus gave a Wry smile.

" Thank you, Tell me Raynor, did the first thing you saw in her was in a swimsuit?

"How did you know that?" Raynor coughed.

"What color was it? Red? Or blue?"

"Boys will be boys. I am like what this big boy said. I am Sarah Kerrigan and I came on the behalf of Acturus Mengsk..." Sarah almost screamed as she attempted to peer into Alexander mind.

It was like the sun was scorching upon her gaze that she almost went blind. And a skeleton giant clad in armor peered above her. The empty sockets gave her a forbidden feeling as she woke up from her

"How did you know I was able to read minds?"

"Standard procedure of mind control. Don't bother scanning the rest of the soldiers. We seen worse. Is it Acturus orders or is it just you, depending on the answer, we would be hostile to him. Even if we are allies in the dark."

"Looking into your mind is just my whims. Not Mengsk."

"Good, I prefer it that you, not to do it again. Now, what's the message?"

"Mengsk request that you take a force and rescue Admiral Edmund Duke."

"You crazy! He almost killed Alexander!" Tychus yelled.

"Darlin' I got locked away to a prison ship by his words alone."

"Nevertheless, we need a confederate general that knows the in and out of the confederacy. "

"Fine, I take a regiment and bail his sorry ass out of there!"

"And another thing from Acturus... Where is his sister? Dorothy Mengsk?"

Alexander gaze at the stars, Dorothy Mengsk

Is a younger sister of Acturus, and she was supposed to be killed by Kerrigan, but due to Mar sars education that is higher and cheaper than Korhal, she was sent to this planet to mingle and learn. She was first among many that was escorted to the imperium controlled territory.

Alexander knew she was the last remaining family to Acturus. And keeping her alive is important to the negotiating table. Perhaps to rein in Acturus ambitions.

"Kept away from the conflict, I assure you, Say that to Mengsk. Ms. Dorothy is safe and away from this nightmare city.

Sarah pressed her comms.

"Did you hear that boss?"

"Heard loud and Clear, Alexander solair, won't you willing to join us on this crusade and destroy the Confederacy?"

"I prefer that we both keep in arms length, if we mashed together, the confederacy would hammer us both in, especially with the Xenos threat that is invading our homes, I say, that Raynor and Kerrigan would be our representatives in joint operations. I will still provide support and supplies to your cause. My people is in the fringes of Confederacy space. And they need help."

"It's comforting to know that you are a man of your word. I will do my best and Raynor." Acturus voice aimed at Raynor.

"Yes?"

"Let's see what you got."

This marks the Start of the Starcraft 1.

The Rise of the Celestial Imperium.

(Somewhere on the fringes of Terran Space)

A communication opened in a Protoss ship.

"En Taro Adun, Ataldrul, Report the situation. Why have you called off the Golden Armada?" A regal dressed Protoss spoke from the screen."

"En Taro Adun, Mighty Tassadar, I have found the psionic that you have been looking for. A Psionic that is akin to a sun."

Tassadar felt interested.

" How so?"

"The Psionic came from the supposed Inferior race known as Terrans, and one of the selected planets that was slated for cleansing was done by the leadership of this Psionic Terran. He lead his forces to destroy the tainted swarm that inserted themselves into this inferior race."

"Do you know his name? What's is his intentions?"

"He called himself... Alexander Solair. And he desire a Alliance with the Firstborn."

"Interesting... I will meet him in due time."

Alarms rang out as a Image of the probes have shown the inactivity of Mar Sara where Alexander stationed in. Zerg is flooding the planet.

"My Lord Ataldrul, Swarm infestation have increased tremendously on the homeworld of the Psionic!"

(Somewhere on Aiur)

"Where is that Skeletal Abomination!" Screeched a zealot as he rush past a giant Skeleton that is holding a tree branch, peeking out as he wore a shit eating grin.

"I can't believe that worked."

Trazyn smirked as he found a interesting race. He been... "Liberating" their item as he hidden from the darkness.

First it was something mundane. Like a book or two. Or some miscellaneous items.

But it ramped up to steal anything that, walks, floats or even crawl. He got Pylons and even a Templar library. And walked out without them aware of his existence. As they attempted to sense his presence using psionic, he was cloaked by a Blackstone cloak that shielded him from their presence.

The only way they could find him is to see him directly. After millennia of acquiring artifacts and relics, such a arrogant race lost so many that months he stayed there..

He is aware that they were similar to the Eldar in a morbid sense. Arrogant, narcissistic and beloved they were the superior than all other races.

Trazyn captured enough that he got a Regiment size of the warriors of Aiur and their technology.

And when he heard it ramped their defenses.

He smirked as he arrived to a orbital Dockyard and stole a Protoss Carrier.

And as the defenders of Aiur turned their place upside-down. Fortifying their planet.

In the near future, the survivors of Aiur, would thanked the necron from the shadows, for inciting their vigilance, they were better prepared for the Swarm that descended upon Aiur, despite their valiant effort it was still a doomed defeat as the Swarm knew their location through Zeratul thoughts as he slained one of their celebrates.

On the unknown planet, a Enormous flesh like entity was watching the news of the Alexander speech. He chuckled as he disappeared into the darkness. And walked out a familiar man

"Seemed like there is a outsider from my master plans..."

(A/n):

Sorry for the long wait and chapter so short.

Seemed like my handler noticed my actions. Thought he was just a sycophant for the party as he smiled during the last botched job.

He noticed my way of doing things is... Borderline on the edge.

Talked me out of taking the next offer.

Said that I am exactly like his friend that ended up in his path, in the dirt far away from china.

And the new bloods ain't making it better.

These new guys are more...

Fanatical.

They worship the party and xi as a new god. Replacing Mao with this new god emperor of Celestial east.

We all came in different circumstances, I was one of many, that is desperate for money.

Others, debt, to some, the thrill of smuggling goods.

But these new replacement... They are not even human.

They are more fanatics as if the party is their parent, their lives revolve around a ideology than thinking for themselves.

It scared us, because unlike the older ones, we think of the mao little red book as a moral compass.

Like you western based on the bible as a spiritual guidance.

No, these new replacement are crazy. They are not there to make money in our line of work.

With no trace of humanity left in them. They based their entire lives around the new red book. And it cause a lot of friction of the old Maoists that worked with us.

After this last job... Hopefully the last job of smuggling. My handler would refer me to his buddies in north of china, said they could use a farm hand, after checking the area, seemed legit.

Yeah, somewhere assigned at the border of Russia and north wind is freezing like hell.

I don't have a home to return to.

The farm I own, given by my grandparents was repossessed by the party and a construction company took over the verdant lands and turned it to a apartment complex in a middle of nowhere.

Uncle that was in charge of the family finances, had a bright idea of just not paying the land lease to the party and sold it without our knowledge. Didn't saw him again. Probably buried in the mountain nearby. My family is vengeful.

No parents waiting at the door, only abusive relatives that sent me a list what they want, everytime I go abroad to do my work.

Forcing me to find a bride for their 45 year old sons. Asking me to find items that is deemed contraband because our own is crap.

Shaming tactic that I am unfilial to my ancestors if I am unable to agree to their demands.

No friends left that will greet me warmly. As they are suffering to even bother my existence. Or what's left of my memory with them is just a echo of their past.

Not even a woman that reminded me why I supposed to support the party...

Because all my life I was raised and study for highschool and college, to be the cog in the machine of cheap labor, like a iron warrior.

I longed for affection and respect, but all I get was glares and hatred, "not good enough.", " The Party demands more.", "It is your duty to fight against the western barbarians with your body and will."

It pounded in my mind from childhood.

It just left me a empty person in the end.

I rather not wished to see my fans like this... I'm the type of "you rather not want to meet the author." As my mind that been indoctrinated still remains.

I am undergoing a "Ideological Therapy". Where I discussing issues and debating others that clash with my Ideology that is opposite of my own.

Instead of a Echo chamber of my own peers.

Like monarchism group is more appealing than democracy. Or I debate with actual republican and Liberals on their stances, with one of them screaming "fascist" on my face. On border issues, Gun control Laws(that is stupid if criminals can buy guns anyway, as long as they grease well enough money and connections.), and Abortion.

So in paper, I am a Maoist, but now I am just a monarchist.

Perhaps hoping the God Emperor would descend on this plane and uplift us.

Writing is like a freedom... Perhaps

Even if I am free in this world of digital ink and paper... I am still a slave in both mind and soul in reality. I am aware of it. I can only scream before my mind reset.

The party already created butcher nails onto all of us. The butcher nails of ideology of the crimson star and sickle.

Escaping to the west? I watched how it descend into insanity that even the Classrooms show videos from the west, why democracy is a bad thing.

Riots for criminals, Race wars, islamnification, divisive population, gender wars.

The bureau of censorship don't even need to censored it. It shown us why we should never be infested with liberalism. Or else outside influence and corporation would literally turn us into a worse kind of slaves.

I am aware that I am subservient to the party.

But I know the lines and what to cross.

But in the west?

Who's going to take accountability?

How to use the power of the vote when you don't even have time or energy to stop the madness?

Like increase prices and the neglect towards men issues? As politician voted more power, pork bills and you swallow it like a good little dog.

I remember American rioted for 2% increase from the Brits, and now people take it in their ass for 50%.

Canadian make songs about hating orange man. While they unable to live in proper housing and flooded by immigrants and bloodsuckers. And M.A.I.D if you are dirt poor.

No matter how far I run, no matter what good deeds I done. The pain will never go away. We are shifted from the fanatics and the forgotten.

So after my last chapter, I had a brief meltdown. After all, this personal issues and my work is already pressuring me.

After all, smuggling is a borderline grey area. And risk of being shot is higher than a Ups driver getting chased by dogs.

Hopefully I find a better life...

Maybe meet some Russian chicks?

As if they want a shortie.

Or will I find solace when I meet my end, like Angron the Red Angel did?

Happy 4th of July, my American Readers.

May you find your way, before it's too late.

Ps.

I am surprise by the Alligator Prison.

Cheap and efficient. At least Florida have another purpose than being Disney little homeland.

If the illegals want to swim out in that place?

They should have never come to USA and be a bloodsucker to the taxpayers. That is my take. If being called Fascist for saying that.

It's hilarious. Suicidal Empathy is the core of the liberals now. They care about the monsters flooding in, than their own surroundings.
