Unlucky protoss. .h.i.t by the acids either met death or are brought back in order to transform them into dragoons for battle. As for those who died, the protoss would leave them as they are for now. The valley that they're in is very defensible and forces the zerg forces into a more condensed spot where their artillery could reduce their numbers rapidly. As minutes go by, the protoss managed to push back the tide by several meters, letting them produce more artillery and build more defensive structures.

Nereis had used up much of her surviving supplies to endure this tide. Despite having aid from a zerg queen who rains down spines and psionic destruction, the tide they encountered is far more numerous and vicious. Unlike the last attack, this one seemed to have been more coordinated as their numbers gradually rise and certain 'waves' occur. These 'waves' would cause a short and sudden surge of zerg to attack in an attempt to force them to waste resources in order to defend themselves.

Once their supply started to dwindle, another creature emerged through the warp gate. Its presence caused the liquid like gateway contained by the circular gate to ripple. A fleshy balloon with two large, circular and purple sacs on its sides flew through. Its fleshy tentacles swaying slowly as it levitates towards the protoss battlefield line.

A phase smith building immortals and dragoons noticed the floating beast and panicked. In fear of his brethren being attacked and slaughtered from behind, he shouted within the khala. 'Brethren, an Overlord is heading towards the defense lines!'

Praetor Nereis responded, 'Thank you Phase smith. I will handle it.' After cutting down several zerglings in a whirlwind of psionic death, the protoss praetor went back behind the lines and searched for the aforementioned Overlord.

Not long after, she spotted the bulbous ma.s.s in the sky as it drifts towards the battlefield. The preator examined it. She noticed that it looked different from the Overlords in any reports. It had two purple bulbous sacs on its sides instead of the usual vertical rows of purple ma.s.s.

Its 'center ma.s.s' also looked more circular than the ones she saw or heard of. Its appearance is also more insect like and more neat in a way since the purple color is only on its circular sacs on its sides. This weird appearance made her hesitate to attack since she found it odd that an overlord would be outside the protection of the zerg army. Its purpose as a transport and command organism is not new information, so why is it here?

In a quick thought, she decided to attack it in order to prevent any unforeseen attacks. The protoss dashed towards the Overlord and brandished her psi blades. With a jump, the praetor shot towards the Overlord with her blades pointed at it. Before she hit it, a psionic field pushed her back to the ground.

Upon skillfully landing on her two legs, thanks to her decades of combat training, a voice spoke in her head. 'Protoss Nereis, do not attack the Overlord. It is our ally.'

'Who is this?'

'Praelis, Zerg Queen. I have summoned a few Overlords to aid us in purifying these corrupted zerg.'

Right after saying that, three Overlords exited the warp conduit and headed into the battlefield. The first Overlord that emerged had reached the battle field during their conversation and deployed banelings. The banelings erupted and shot green acid everywhere. Zerg in contact with the banelings found their carapace being eaten away with some melting as so much acid was sprayed on them.

After a squad of ten banelings created a circle of acid in the tide, a small squad emerged. A pair of hydralisks, accompanied by three roaches and twelve zerglings emerged. The hydralisks aimed at the nearby Overlords while the roaches sprayed acid at all zerg engaging them. After about ten seconds, an Overlord fell under the concentrated fire of two hydralisks.

Upon its demise, the Overlord brought by Praelis immediately exerted control over the nearby zerg under its command. Dozens of zerg are controlled and aided the transported zerg troops as they hunt down the overlords to add more numbers. As more of Praelis' overlord arrive, more and more zerg are converted into the Creator's Swarm. The probes noticed this and reported this phenomenon.

A video showing the zerg fight each other is displayed through the Khala. Recognizing it as Praelis' back up, she commanded her templar to aid the zerg forces. Although reluctant, the templar preferred aid than death from a 'lesser' race. With more Overlords brought in and hijacking the enemy zerg, the zerg tide was defeated in a few hours.

After the battle, Praelis established a few hatcheries to grow her forces on this world. She also discovered an ability she had previously overlooked. Apparently, Queens could use growth hormones to speed up the formation of zerg structures by an hour. However, the hormones can only be used on the same structure once thirty minutes in order for maximum efficiency.

She used the growth hormones on every structure she commanded to be morphed and sent zerg parties to search for more bioma.s.s. More queens are morphed back in Vanahim VII for using the growth hormones to rapidly increase the zerg expansion and break through into Tier 3, so they could unlock the more advanced strains. Praelis is a.s.sisted by another queen who had recently morphed, helping her establish hive cl.u.s.ters in case of another attack. While the Creator's Swarm prepares for a possible attack, the protoss also made their own preparations.

They are establis.h.i.+ng another warp conduit and are aided by some zerg to fix their s.h.i.+ps to the point where they could at least be usable in battle. The templar are reluctant in adding the zerg's aid as some reason that they may be spies of sort, but, a high templar among them could sense no link between the zerg aiding them and the zerg attacking them. The zerg are a hivemind race and those of the same hivemind would have uniform psionic signatures. As for their allies, their hivemind signature is too different from any zerg they encountered.

It raises the question on whether or not they are rogue broods and for those who suspect them, if they are planning to be transported to Aiur and launch a full scale a.s.sault. Such attacks have happened before but changeling zerg were applied and these zerg had none. While the Creator's Swarm and the stranded protoss form an uneasy alliance, mostly on the templar caste's side, the Creator himself is back in his creation to manage his system of deities.

Yahbenon, 12 A.N

Twelve years have pa.s.sed since our Mother? Father? More of Creator had given birth to us twelve primordial G.o.ds. Those short years were spent creating our own worlds and places within the realm our creator called as Yahbenon. Each of our realms or places had things related to our domain and our personality was also altered by our domain as years go by. We made lesser G.o.ds, angels, constructs, divine demons and creatures to serve us in this realm.

Some of us wanted to explore beyond this realm but found repulsion no matter how much power we exerted. The tablets left by our creator are left untouched and continue to spin slowly in constant speed at the center of this universe. A year ago, we created a calendar to count the year since our creation by what we christen as Anu'Elyahin, our creator for he or she has not given us his or her holy name. Time is counted by one year possessing 1000 months starting with the month of Anhi and ending with the month of El's.h.i.+r.

Each month contains a hundred weeks, divided into ten days per week. Each day has a thousand hours of its own and each our has a thousand seconds. A single divine second in our calendar is equal to a thousand mortal seconds. In mortal years, 380,517 years have pa.s.sed in this realm. Cities, temples, worlds, armies, kingdoms and G.o.ds have been built in this time. One day, our creator, the one we name as Anu'Elyahin has returned.

She returned in the form we saw on that day of our birth. The sky tore apart and power overflowed from the tear. All beings knelt and only we could resist the overbearing will that urges us to kneel or bow till our head touches the ground we built. Her long dark brown hair swayed in the nonexistent wind, her bright golden eyes shone and an amused smile formed from her lips.

Us twelve teleported before her, emerging from our elements and knelt like a servant. We all bore gifts to her in the form of our greatest creations. Out of all our gifts, Seth, Morrigan and Amaterasu gave the most wonderful gifts. The G.o.d of rot and resurrection Seth gave our creator a special cloak imbued with great power and magic.

When our brother Seth wore it, it gave him greater power over evil, darkness, life, degradation and death. The cloak also enhanced his already attractive form, so much to the point where some of us could blush at times. Making your sister blush especially your divine sister who is immune to all instincts is an immense feat on its own. We doubt that our creator would use it but she said that she will impart it to someone of her choosing at one point.

Morrigan gave a shadowy flame that dances on her palm. Its touch would burn any being and transform them into crow creatures of great power. Even a planet sized crow monster could emerge from just a single rabbit being burnt by the shadowy flame. Our sister called it the Origin Shadeflame, a worthy gift to our boundlessly superior creator.

As for our beautiful, radiant sister Amaterasu, she gave our creator a gift in the form of a crown. A special golden crown that can morph into an array of flying laser weapons, barriers and parts. It consists of 365 distinct parts that can morph freely with a single thought. These golden armaments could also predict attacks by peering through time and s.p.a.ce, being completely unbound from any form of fate, time or s.p.a.ce that attempts to inhibit it.

After presenting our gifts to our creator, she decreed a new law for the creation of G.o.ds. She separated the Divine bloodline into multiple levels and tweaked the G.o.d system. It allowed ascension and the Fallen G.o.d, False G.o.d and Pseudo G.o.d system. She would create all the G.o.ds on her own and let new G.o.ds ascend through the power of faith.

After changing the world to her will, she left almost immediately after and the pressure disappears. As the pressure fades, all beings rise up with confusion to what just happened. Their G.o.ds do not wish to tell them and simply stayed silent about it. In the duration of the short visit, two days have pa.s.sed in the Starcraft Universe.

In Vanahim VII…

In the past two days, the zerg numbers have more than tripled in number. A little more and they would soon evolve into a Tier 3 Swarm, unlocking the Swarm's more advanced strains. The Zerg have their creep carpet septupled over the past two days with the help of the creep tumours sp.a.w.ned by the queens. Currently, there is a queen in every hive cl.u.s.ter, now numbering over 100 due to the quadrupled amount of hive cl.u.s.ters and zerg structures.

Each hive cl.u.s.ter would have three to five overlords and a queen stationed on it. The queens would provide growth hormones, ma.s.s larva sp.a.w.ning and healing transfusions to the zerg there. Growth hormones work better on the zerg combat strains and could be used on every ten minutes with a two hour time boost. Basically, every zerg coc.o.o.n being given growth hormones would cause them to emerge within ten minutes and in cases for larva and drones, only five minutes.

A hundred and one miles south of the central hive cl.u.s.ter….

A party of three drones, a pair of zerglings, a hydralisk and an overlord travelled towards a hill in the distance. The ground combat strains walked, floated or slithered across the forest, making leaves rustle as they move as a coordinated group. Their Overlord floated above the tall trees, its house sized form drifting in the wind towards their destination. They have travelled for an hour, from a hive cl.u.s.ter a dozen miles north. The forest ground was quite rocky and many predators prowled within the forest.

Although any threat was quickly eliminated with a few slices from the ferocious zerglings and a barrage of almost diamond sharp spines, it still delayed their travel. The Overlord did not carry them in order to prevent it from being attacked and rendered defenseless. Soon, they reached the large b.u.mp on the ground. Its smooth and short slopes and mineral rich ground made it the perfect spot to establish a hive cl.u.s.ter on.

The Overlored spewed creep into the ground, making a gurgling noise while doing so. Upon slamming to the ground, the grayish creep made a splas.h.i.+ng noise and began to slowly spread. One of the drones moved towards the center of the creep and morphed its arthropod like form into a large house sized pulsing coc.o.o.n. As it morphs, a queen is ejected from the overlord and it injects growth hormones into the coc.o.o.n, causing it to pulse and stir actively.

As for the rest, they travel into the forest with the drones and the overlord to gather bioma.s.s to be digested.

In Kashrya….

A ma.s.sive coc.o.o.n bursts, showering its immediate vicinity in viscera and orange amniotic fluid. In its place is the five sided pyramidal structure of flesh and bones known as a Lair. It had hard carapace and sharper and harder bones than its previous form. It stood on a landscape of creep with an Evolution Chamber, a Sp.a.w.ning Pool, a Roach Warren and a Hydralisk Den.

Five others like it are present not too far away from it, acting as the frontier zerg bases in the faraway planet of Kashrya. Not too far away behind these hive cl.u.s.ters, three protoss nexus have been built from the sc.r.a.pped parts of their broken s.h.i.+ps. Within these two days, the zerg tides have only increased in number. Every consecutive attack would have at least a thousand more zerg sent to kill them.

Luckily, Praelis' superior queens and overlords aided them by converting enemy zerg into their allies by specifically targeting the command organisms. The relations between the protoss and zerg have also improved with every tide as Praelis' forces provided a defense line from where the protoss could use their weaponry to destroy enemies in the hundreds. The aid of roaches and hydralisks allowed the protoss to attack unhindered as they would strike down ranged enemies first. The minimum casualties for the protoss improved their morale and their trust in these so called true zerg.

However, they face a problem looming in the horizon. The zerg will evolve to Tier 3 which would cause them to enter a coc.o.o.n state for a whole day. With the ever growing zerg tide attacks, the protoss could possibly be wiped out due to that. The firstborn asked Praelis whether or not this process could be delayed or averted but she sternly replied that it must be done.

So, the protoss began building more weapons and as quick as possible. The best aid Praelis could give is any minerals or vespene gas they acquired since the Swarm only needed bioma.s.s and nutrients to survive on. By the time the advancement occured, the Protoss have ama.s.sed quite a force. Two hundred zealots, three dozen dragoons, two dozen immortals, a dozen sentries, ten reavers, several phoenix, three high templar, two tempests and a surviving carrier.

Once the Creator's Swarm enters the coc.o.o.n state, the waiting game has begun. The protoss only need to survive a day before reinforcements arrive in the form of the Zerg. They have attempted to reconnect with Aiur but found the signals always through to random non protoss places. At one attempt, the conduit even reached a zerg cerebrate's hive world and they were traumatized with what they saw the fleshy maggot was doing.

It was so disgusting that even an Overlord puked creep, a zergling clawed the warp conduit, the hydralisks and roaches immediately burrowed while the queens fell unconscious. As for the protoss, they had to watch the most disgusting and inappropriate event known to any mortal for fifteen minutes. In order to preserve their dignity, under the guise of the cerebrate noticing, Praelis closed the conduit and changed its coordinates as soon as she gains consciousness as all protoss are watching it in complete disgust. Not even the high templar could move their muscles while they watched a cerebrate trying to f.u.c.k everything it sees in a very disgusting way.

Now, the sun sets as darkness begins to blanket the sky like a ma.s.sive eagle coming into view. From afar, the roaring of zerg was heard by the probes sent out by the protoss. Once the zerg concentrated on chasing these probes, they would detonate and reduce the numbers of the tide. Small mushroom clouds erupted in the distance as hundreds of zerg are turned into charred remains.

The one day war begins now.
