"I never thought that hell would be in the material world without chaos influence... Aside from Abaddon Crusade from Cadia.. this is the first Hazard class planet I would never let my Soldiers jump into, much less Space Marines.
I ordered my soldiers and Techpriest to wear pressurized suits and power armor, even the crew of every vehicles wear pressurized suits. If the hulls got cracked... The poison of carbon monoxide and this amount of ash would choke them. Ironic that this land is purely a environmental counter to my majority of the Imperial guard... Space marines are for more... Dire needs at the moment... I fear that the moment I released them, the dark power that I could not predict would make a immediate counter.
Hybrids that know how to kill space marines? That is a nightmare. So I just play the fool because they only anticipate the Imperial guards, not my Brothers sons, the Angels of death... I miss their company...
We can't use the Armageddon Steel Legion, since the land is environmentally earthquake prone. And knowing the Zerg, they will definitely use Banelings to burst from the ground under our vehicles chassis that is the weakest. Or worse, potholes filled with Banelings like Detroit potholes. A driver worse nightmare.
Not the Catachans, since they are better at forest and jungle warfare... And this land is definitely not a dick measuring contest.
Nor the Vahallan, Praetorian or the mordian guards. Chem dog regiments complain there is nothing to loot.
So at best, we are using Death Korps of Krieg and Elysian Drop Troops along with a regiment of Men of Iron, this is a fight of attritional warfare. And securing the stable plateaus. And by the time we reached there, we should have a limited amount of time of Air supremacy before the Zerg would overrun us with their bodies.
Space Vietnam in a lava planet...
When you from a screen from your computers, it is just a molten planet that is rich in minerals, but stepping foot on the ground...
The blazing hot winds, lava and ash storm is the first thing that you meet, and if you are unlucky, acid rain for days on end... I am joining Tassadar to search Kerrigan but he ventured somewhere the moment we reached Char... But I noticed something is wrong... I only met Tassadar personally and how come... He knows Kerrigan, she didn't met him in Tarsonis but Tassadar mentioned that he felt a familiar voice calling him?
We are attacked by the swarms of Zerglings and all sorts of bio form that was not listed in the games, as if the planet is alive and is filled with hatred... And with Raynor and Tychus arriving soon, I better set up a base soon. What did the Overmind cooked up for us...
It is up to us to jump into the den of nightmares." - Alexander Transcripts: Journey to the Koprulu Sector.
On the molten planet of Char.
The fight occured on one of the stable plateaus.
Tracers of Lasgun and stubber fire rained endlessly at the horde of Zerglings from a Newly furnished base that is cranking up the material and manpower. Each hour, a fortification was raised and more men was tossed into the fray.
"Move it, move it! Get the ammo boxes and feed the manned turrets!" A Quartermaster yelled at the newly recruited soldiers as they left in drove and carried ammunition by the crates whose contents was removed by crowbars.
Missile launched by the hundreds of thousands, their trails were like of white clouds in this blackened skies.
Earthshaker artillery and rockets battery rained nonstop to the unending tides that approached their safe haven. Their glowing flashes of light, similar to the lava around them.
The skies blacken with Zerglings corruptor and mutalisk as even the air supremacy that the imperium was proud of seemed uncertain as the pilots from the Imperial Aeronautica of both the Space navy and imperial guard is fighting for their lives.
"Sector D is running out of bullets and the Lasgun packs is running low! Our Charging station rates can't keep up with the consumption!"
"Inform the Cog boys to make more!"
"We lost a Squad at Sector B, Trench A-68! Zerglings bursted from the trenches!"
"Have the Gas Maskers use flamers! Scorch the Damm bastards! Have a men of Iron squad ready to shore up the defenses!"
"Brutalisk is seen at The Northern Defensive lines! Casualties is rising! Baneblade is heavily maimed, unable to operate!"
"Send a a Armor core to deal with it!"
The Tactica Center is busy with reports and overwhelmed with the casualties and ammunition draining skirmishes.
"Boss, umm, we had a contract about mining minerals... But not in the middle Zerg capital!" A leader of the SCV team spoke to Alexander.
"Yes, I understand your concerns, but we do need to mine Minerals. After all they are useless in the hand of the Zerg."
"But, we are at risk of dying out here."
"Alright, how about this, For Every mineral that your team can harvest, you not only have five percentage of the mineral value in black market standards, you receive overtime and hazard pay that is dictated by your Workers group.
And those that is not willing to join them, you can help the Techpriest to repair the barriers. I already added the clause to ensure a fair deal remember?"
"Alright, you got a deal. Now let's go we going to be rich!"
It was surprisingly easy to goad the Scv pilots. This planet may be in hell itself, but there is wealth to make up for it.
Since Alexander landed at the richest node of minerals, he never let such a good profit go to waste.
It was as if the planet had endless amount of soldiers to lobbed at the expedition forces.
Alexander frowned as a giant worm was seen in the distance, erupting from the ground as if to mock him, it spat copious amounts of Zerg towards his base..
"Nydus worm imminent!"
"Time to rack up the skull huh?"
In another part of the quadrant the Protoss is fighting back.
"Warrior B'ob, get back here!"
A psychic voice beckon from the Protoss base.
The said B'ob is busy kicking a Zergling flesh from his foot. He felt so much rage. That he even got the guts to kick a ultralisk in the skull and impale it in the process
As he returned to his base, it was busy setting up for a staging point.
Tassadar was wrecked by something... Memories that is not meant to be... Originally he was meant to go to char... But he decided to leave Alexander and search for the dark Templar. He knew one such being among them would assist him... Zeratul.
He screened from the memory, the fact that his expedition forces is unable to kill one of the Celebrate that is like a commander with their psionic alone as their commander would simply regenerated, and the Dark Templar knows how to kill them easily with their powers...
He watched the base that came to life as the warrior caste fought with the Zerglings.
He could only hope this time...
He would not lose the people around him.
Photon cannon is being materialize to defend the unending hordes.
Colossi, their giant figure of walking beams of heat rays scorched the unending hordes.
And in the center of it all.
Was a protoss nexus point.
And one obnoxious commenter is being heard around..
"*Your base is under attack!*"
"*You need more pylon!*"
"*Not enough Minerals!*
"*We need more vespene gas!*"
Tassadar would have smiled wryly of the fact if he had a mouth, that the Announcer was related to one of the Conclave family. And he was there to... Practically mooched the expedition glory...
A screen appear before him, showing Alexander and Raynor.
"The situation is bad huh." Alexander spoke.
Sounds of artillery was heard behind him to showcase how dire the situation had become.
"Commander, is it confirmed that Kerrigan is there?"
"Captain Raynor, while this is a sitrep, I prefer to keep it from... Our temperamental allies."
"How dare this lowly beings act so arrogant!" A zealot spoke out of hand.
Alexander laughed.
" Well... This Lowly beings already mastered Blackhole technology and bringing back the dead... So keep your Zealots in check Tassadar." Alexander chided.
"Alright, Captain Raynor, Is your base set up?"
"Yes, commander, just a few clicks south of your position... I can't believe there is so many Zerg!"
"And this is definitely their main hive Clusters considering the fact that this amount is not normal that is seen during the days of the Golden Armada."
"We are having the turkey gallery of a lifetime. But... What truly brings make you send us here Executor Tassadar?"
"... Warrior Alexander... Would you believe me that we been through this before? This cycle?"
"Are you implying that the timeline have been... Reset?"
"Memories that is not my own is filtering in my head, I was supposed to fight against a Terran ghost named Kerrigan, but instead I met you... And I believe that Kerrigan is there... Somewhere?" Tassadar was met with uncertainty.
Tychus comms began to appear next to the meeting.
"Great, prophecy and all that crap...ya sayin that we done this dance before?" He muttered as his screen was covered by plumes of smoke and only his cigar light was the source of illumination.
"I believe so..."
A alarm was heard. A electronic voice echo in the meeting.
"++Unknown fleet detected... Iff signal confirmed as Dominion of man Battlecruiser
Antares 4 leading in spearhead formation.++"
"++Incoming transmission.++"
" Imperial High Lord Alexander, this is General Edmund Duke of the Terran Dominion Armada. You are in violation of our air-space and have endangered human lives in your reckless attack against the Zerg. I order you to withdraw your ships immediately. If you fail to comply, I will not hesitate to open fire upon your vessels." Duke smiled at them.
He seemed worse for wear. But at least he survived the blast radius of Tarsonis ion cannon explosion.
"Screw you Duke, ya backstabber!" Raynor yelled.
"I'm going to have to assume that was a hostile response...What about you? Where would you stand? How about you hand Raynor over?" Edmund Duke stared at Alexander.
He wanted to put a bullet into Alexander, but he know the implications of doing so.
The people of the newly formed Dominion knew Alexander more so than Mengsk.
They benefitted from his economic policies and trade long before the dispute happened.
In a way unlike Raynor whose efforts is known to the few... Killing Alexander have more implications than a Captain under his care.
And the planets that willingly joined the imperium is more fanatical than anticipated and sending his death would make him a martyr... And make the fanatics burn down the Dominion...
If he let Raynor be tossed to the hounds, he would mark Alexander as a hypocrite.
But if he refuses....
Well that's going to be a fun one.
"Sure... Duke, You can get Raynor...."
Duke smiled at first until the later message made him frown.
"From my cold dead hands that is.
He is my little poster boy and you are here on the behalf of Mengsk?" He secretly gave the information to the Zerg via a abandoned voxcaster to that was used to communicate that was already behind enemy lines.
He is betting on Sarah Kerrigan... Or whatever left of her instinct to... Take the bait and focused the swarm to Duke forces. After her betrayal by Mengsk... Even if her consciousness is not there, her instinct is screaming for revenge.
"I will definitely put you in chains... Even if you are the founder of the Dominion!"
Duke with his pompous arrogance, landed his forces away from the imperial battleline to make a staging ground and got the heaviest volume of zerg that was sent to his location.
"Damm you Alexander!"
"Nah, suck for your men to be under assholes... Captain Raynor, head to the main hive cluster and get Sarah Kerrigan out of there... Tychus stay put and ready the Hyperion to leave this godforsaken hellhole. You get your cut of the minerals"
"Ya don't need to tell me twice!"
Alexander simply grinded down the forces but the amount of Zerg is growing exponentially than what he could kill.
He stared at the distance where Raynor went off to.
"Are you prepared for what is going to happen lil Jimmy?"
+++++++++
Raynor rushed to the Zerg hive cluster.
As he ventured forth, he... Saw memories... Or what's was going to happen.
A image of him, now aged as he held a Kerrigan that got Zerg hair...
As he saw his older self embracing the woman. He saw a laser pointer aiming at Kerrigan...
"Tychus what have you done?" His older self spoke as he can't believe his friend betrayal.
"I made a deal with the devil Jimmy. She dies I go free." Tychus spoke as his cigar smoke cover what was his facial expression ...
"We all got our choices to make." His older self slowly unholstered his revolver.
"Damn shame." Tychus shot but the bullet hit his shoulder pauldron before Raynor shot him clear in the skull. The soldiers that were accompanied is confused but as they raised up his men arrived and shot their way in...
His mind was brought back to reality.
And now with the hive cluster influenced by her hatred to Mengsk, have almost left it unguarded due to Duke arrival.
Raynor arrived in the base of the hive cluster and his heart trembled.
Before him was a chrysalis that held Kerrigan.
"Sarah!" He rushed forwards as to hoping to peel the chrysalis. A psychic wave emanating from the pod burst forth and pushed him into a wall.. his power armor creaked and told him significant damage it his frame...
A crack was heard... And the chrysalis was breaking, and the being inside woken up...
He tried to deny it.
No... He tried to keep it from his thoughts...
"Hello Sarah... Is that really you?" He tried to speak friendly as he kept his fear down. As the woman he loves, now changed for the worse...
Her body turned into a Zerg and she bore bone like wings as if to mock the angels above... Her glowing eyes haunted Raynor.
"To an extent... I'm far more than I once
was, Jim. You shouldn't have come here."
"But the dreams... I dreamed you were still alive... that somehow... you were calling to me. I missed you Darlin."
"I was. While I was in the Chrysalis, I
instinctively reached out to you and Arcturus telepathically. Apparently, Arcturus sent Duke here to reclaim me. And I didn't anticipate Alexander along with the Protoss is defending you..." Her words spoke softly but drenched in poison.
"But that was then, Jim. I'm one of the Zerg, now. And I like what I am. You can't imagine how this feels..." Her boneless wings extended as if wanting to impale him.
"So what? Are you goin' to kill me now,
darlin'?"
"It is certainly within my power. But you're not a threat to me, Jim. Be smart. Leave here
with Alexander now, and never seek to confront the Zerg again." Raynor looked at her sadly as another psychic wave was sent, this time, not only he was flung out of the hive, but also the the squad he was escorted was sent flying as well.
After several meters, he moved his power armor up, it creaked due to the sheer damage was done by Kerrigan attack.
"Doesn't look like I have much choice. I used to love you Sarah..." He was escorted out by the soldiers that still able to escape normally.
As Kerrigan watched Raynor left...
A bit of her whispered put her thoughts to the wind...
"I'm....sorry..... Jim, I'm so sorry..."
A tear drip from her glowing eyes as she stared at the distance. She held her hand to where the tear once dripped...
"What a weakness..." She muttered as she returned and about to change her mind to simply just kill Raynor and remove her weakness... A flare of psionic bursting from the distance, she turned to the location...
Across the treacherous landscape she found the one that made her felt fear...
Alexander Solair.
He stood upon the corpses of the Zerg as he simply stared at her with the same glowing eyes, as if same as her, but in different in nature as it felt holy... Divine even, but she felt a tinge of madness in that divinity. As if he anticipated their meeting...and any more would be detrimental to her.
The Zerg in her, wanted to rip Raynor to shred, to kill the weakness in her heart.
To make her the perfect queen of blades.
But that being in human skin that is watching her is ready to kill her if she had done so.
So her inner instinct to make destruction reined in, as he is part of her Master plan, the man with glowing eyes before her is not a pawn of the great game... But a player... She walked back to the hive and the Zergs gave a roar as if to coronate the new queen of blades.
++++++
"You knew?" Raynor asked Alexander as he was done with the casualty reports.
"I... Predicted this... But not to this extent... At this time she would have been currently undergoing zergificiation... Sorry, Raynor. I truly am..."
"So... She really did recalled the forces back.
As Kerrigan spoke. She retracted the Zerg away from the Imperium and Raynor lines. Just barely enough for the evacuation....
The soldiers teleported the important equipment and left the unnecessary ones alone.
This meeting was a fruitful one.
Alexander had many bounty point from the unending amount of Zerg.
But some didn't take it lightly.
Too much blood been spilled and there is dead needed to be cremated.
There is so much data and situations simulacrum to examined the Zerg major offensives.
"So... You are leaving now?" Alexander spoke. He face toward Raynor packing up his things as he handed him a resignation.
"Yeah... Going to make Raynor Raiders once more... Thanks for keeping me and Tychus around. " Raynor said.
"You are always welcome at the Imperium. Raynor. If you need something from me, tell Tychus about it, since he is my middleman. He probably relay your words..."
"And make a profit out of it." Raynor laughed.
Both of them laugh as they know Tychus much.
"I hope you find your answers. Marshall Raynor." Alexander gave Raynor a Salute.
"I hope so too sir." Raynor saluted back as he returned to the Hyperion.
Both ships went their separate ways.
Alexander watched as the Hyperion was teleported away.
He sighed as he had job to do. He knows he would be there when they find Aiur...
Alexander returned to the now controlled Imperium to consolidate and fortify the border between the Dominion. Make new allies to face the upcoming storm of bloodshed.
The destruction of the confederacy marked the turning point of each faction on the board.
The forge worlds glowed ever so brightly due to the fact that the what this battle that transpire was akin to a ceasefire. And it was only a matter of time Kerrigan go berserk and attacked indiscriminately.
[Somewhere in Sol System]
A video was shown in front of a Senate.
Several Acclamator was seen fighting back the Confederacy Battlecruisers and the video ended there.
"Tell me... Why do you show us this?"
"We heard of the Imperium, Umojan, Kel-Morian Combine, and the now the newly formed Dominion of Man and the Zerg and Protoss...
Four of them are born inferior criminal stock and two xenos races that is detrimental to our efforts, but nevertheless, they would prove.... useful for our scarce resources. We believe after the civil war of the confederacy, we assess that these four human factions are weakened from the infighting and it is ripe for the taking. We shall send the Expedition fleets to reclaim what's is ours!" The speaker grinned.
It was known that the people that were the first to colonized the Koprulu Sector are born of criminal heritage, and the people of the sol system looked down upon them. Believing themselves as the superior ones.
But like all sci-fi media, they are running out of resources and living space for their bulging population.
With the reports of them flooding of wealth and resource rich planets... The people become envious and hungered for the Koprulu Sector resources. They justifying their pillaging and conquest based on the people heritage and the Guise of being liberators to hide their greed.
They were more technologically advanced than what the inhabitants of the Koprulu Sector in fear that they would simply rushed back to earth and burn it down with revenge.
"What is your estimation of us winning victory?"
"We have the superior technology, by estimation of the technology that we can control the Zerg, we would be unchallenged."
"Aye, I vouch that Du Gaulle be the head of the fleet!"
"He is the hero of the Jupiter wars! Our family would send our supply and we would invest in the first ship!"
"We shall call this expedition United Earth Directorate! For we are united as one!"
Massive manpower was being sent to this bulging fleet.
Anyone that had a skill or talent is sent to the newly forming Armada.
Each was led by promises of god and glory.
Incentivized by the plunder of wealth in the Koprulu Sector.
In the infested free world of Mars Sara. A Golden portal began to opened in one of the many monasteries that littered the landscape.
A giant of a human wearing power armor walked out as he and his brothers silently awaited the call.
Gothic hymm is sung as they silently marched in formation. Ready to unleash what the old imperium had to offer.
Their helmet crimson eyes is telling of what Alexander is planning for the long term...
_______
(A/n): wow the west gotten more dystopian than China.
Child protection act?
Wow, feminist ruined the games and they are not satisfied, they want to ruined the world.
There is so many of us in china that used VPN, now we really want to hang the people in collective shout. They protected Cuties and go after games that show fictional characters having sex? Wow double standards of making reality a lie and fiction the truth.
The Aussie freaks of nature, bragging that they ruined games. They jumpstart the movement to end freedom of speech.
Parents are so irresponsible that they allowed the government to censored the shit out of you? Where is the parental controls to make the children don't see the porn?
Shame the parents for voting the government that screwed the world over.
Thank you Britain for ruining the world, you make a shining shittier example of fuckin us over.
Now even in china , the VPN is under attack thanks to feminist, we have more hatred to feminism, hell we are practically piling up the names of the western feminist in X, blue sky and threads, we don't care if they renounce their feminist ways. We want them to be sent to hell. Equality my ass. More like a destructiv ex.
Hell, there are some of us is describing how they will mutilate them like a pig and use their entrails to hang their neck. Very vivid description and there is so many likes.
And the censorship bureau didn't even censored that, is telling.
Now everyone is making the excuse for protecting the children? Even visa and Mastercard?
Bull shit
In my short stint as a smuggler, I seen veteran teams from other neighbouring countries use master card and Vista to buy child prostitutes, guns and drugs. And where is the outrage when it's been happening long before I was born?
Ya know what we called the Britain in our forum threads?
Shit stirrer of Europe.
The one that whines about wanting to be part of the group and ruined it for everybody.
Sure we don't allow children to play more hours to keep their mind stable, but you bozos, want to ruined everyone for the non-existent children?
Congratulations you incentivized making people to not have children. Because if they walked out with a baby, they would be looked with scorn that whatever liberties the people had was for a bunch of brats that ruined the world because politician use them as cover.
Now US is joining in?
So much for muh democracy.
And Freedommmm of speech and such.
Now I just watched as the bill is being sent to the Senate to vote in the bill to end free speech. And ironic Aipac join in as well?
Wow, America is a puppet of Israel already. Why make a bill about antisemitism, when the whites is under attack? What happened to America first? More like Israel first.
Britain is a joke of a country, why don't they already admit that it is like Afghanistan in name only? Only with shittier weather and a small land that is bulging with boat people that straining the infrastructure.
It's already too late.
