Invasion from other world
…
Okay… so far no one taking this challenge (no offensive though), so… I took the challenge created by me, the owner of the challenge (what am I thinking), and now I've finished the first chapter or maybe even prologue, I am not so sure. But still, this chapter may contain a lot of gaps that I might have overlook, so please point out anything that you know, because I am not StarCraft expert, and reason is that I have never read any of the StarCraft comics.
And I want to thank Nightroad816 and others who had giving me some good tips and ideas while in process of writing this story.
Expect this story will be update very, very, very superbly slow, that's because I have other stuffs I need to taking care of, and my other stories as well.
And oh, one last time, don't read it if any of you haven't complete StarCraft 2 trilogy yet, cause below, contains spoilers.
…
Chapter 1: Invasion
Three major races: Terran, also known as human, Zerg, and Protoss. During the last battle against Amon the Fallen Xel'Naga, each races led by their own leaders respectively. James Raynor, former commander of the Raynor's Raiders, commander of the Dominion, representing the Terran race. Sarah Kerrigan, formerly a Confederate Ghost, the Queen of Blades, leading the entire army of Zerg Swarm. And lastly, the Young Hierarch Artanis, leader of the Daelaam, leading the united Protoss. Three races acted as one to defeat their true enemy behind the curtain who had pulling the strings all the time.
During the beginning assault in the void, the dark void shadows tearing apart the three factions' ships, causing them unable to proceed further. Young Hierarch Artanis leading his army serving as vanguards thanks to their protection shields, eliminating all the void corruptions that stood their paths, eliminating the structures that emitting dark void shadows, allowing his allies to push forward their bases and armies against the shadows, and when they arrived to Narud, the faithful servant of Amon, formerly was Samir Duran. The infested Alexei Stukov delivered a final blow and eliminated Narud once and for all.
Kerrigan has finally met the one who has been calling for her from the void, the last Xel'Naga Ouros, and the last shepherd of the Infinite Cycle. The Xel'Naga Ouros will give his essence to her, ascending her current being to become Xel'Naga, the only way to defeat Amon. Raynor wish Kerrigan to decline it, but she had to take it. And so, the process of channelling essence commenced.
During the channelling process Kerrigan is nearly defenceless, Raynor, Artanis, and Zagara must repel the armies of the Shadows of the Void and Void Thrashers from reaching Kerrigan at all cost. Commander Raynor and his Terran armies are the best in defence, with their siege tanks and bunkers in well placed area, they can hold any kind of armies to ensure their survival. But, without assisting his allies in defending, they will lose more than half of their armies.
When the channelling process was nearly in complete stage, Kerrigan released a blast of energy, instantly wiped out all of the Shadows of the Void armies. Raynor, Artanis, and Zagara, along with their armies, were safe. As she knows that her time of being as Queen of Blades is over, she gave Zagara command over the entire Zerg Swarm permanently.
And when Kerrigan absorbed the essence completely, she ascended into Xel'Naga, she has transformed into a form of a flaming angel, knew that there will be no turning back, Kerrigan and Raynor had to bid farewell, she flew off into the void to confront Amon.
The last battle, Amon hiding within the thick shrouds of shadows, totally immune from all attacks, powered up by the Void Crystals. Kerrigan, Raynor, Artanis, and Zagara, together with their armies, confront and destroyed all of the crystals protecting Amon, eliminated his barrier, allowing Kerrigan to deliver the final blow, successfully killing Amon.
…
Two years after the death of the fallen Xel'Naga Amon, the Terran Dominion celebrates the third anniversary of the fall of Arcturus Mengsk regime, and the rise of his son Valerian Mengsk. Admiral Matt Horner reports the continued support of his new regime by the Dominion armed forces. Experiencing an era of reconstructing and continuing peace.
The unified protoss race has maintained its age of prosperity and peace, and also maintaining an alliance with the Terran Dominion. James Raynor is unknowingly disappeared, his last seen was in Joeyray's Bar, all they had recovered was his badge. Zagara takes control of the entire Zerg Swarm and lays claim on planet Char and the surrounding systems and they have never attack on any sector anymore. Zagara and her swarm are never forget their alliance with Terran and Protoss ever since the battle against Amon.
Living organisms suddenly appeared out across the Koprulu sector, and even scientists could not able to find out why. Things has finally become peaceful including for the Zerg.
…
Korhal
Korhal, the fourth planet in the Korhal System, the Ecumenopolis of Terran Dominion. Suddenly, mysterious gate appeared right at the centre of the Korhal City, in front of Augustgrad, unknown armies marching out from the gate and terrorizing the city.
The citizens see them are not Terran, not Protoss, not even Zerg. Then, they immediately ran away from them at all cost. Hiding inside metallic structures and barricaded themselves. Luckily some marines that were patrolling the streets are there and started to protect the people over there and helping them escape.
…
Korhal Palace
Korhal Palace, home of the Terran Dominion new Emperor Valerian Mengsk, the capital city of the Dominion throne world of Korhal.
"Warning. Unknown forces detected in Augustgrad. A massive forces marching out from the gateway." Adjutant reported the situation. This brought both Emperor Valerian's and Admiral Horner's attentions.
"Who are them!?" The Young Emperor Valerian asked as he sees the screen displaying the enemy forces, he sees a massive forces armed with melee weapons such as shields and long pikes, heavy ground monsters and flying creatures as well, marching out from the mysterious gate. Behind the frontline he sees few flying creatures that breathe fire he has never see before. "And what the hell is that gate!?"
"To all forces in close by, proceed to the Augustgrad and backup the marines!" Admiral Horner commands.
"Sir!" A marine reporting, "A lot of enemies came out from that gate and rampaging everywhere! We need some heavy supports!"
"Get those civilians to safety first!" Valerian answered the call. "Backups are on the way! If gets outnumbered, retreat!"
"We're retreating and escorting civilians to safe place!" Marines reported back the current situation. "But their numbers are keep increasing!"
"What and how is that gate suddenly appeared out of nowhere?" Admiral Horner said while reading the statuses on the screen display. "Adjutant. Find out where that gate leads to."
"It appears that the gateway leads to a world that is out of the range of this universe." Adjutant replied back after analysing as the screen displaying the gateway.
"…Out of the range of this universe?" Admiral Matt said wondering.
"Now is not the time to worry about that, Admiral." Valerian snapped Admiral out from his deep though, "Right now we need to protect the civilians."
The marines report back, "The backups are here, sir! Give us orders!" Marines reported to Valerian.
Valerian then ready to combat by starting to command his forces, "All forces, prepare for combat!" Valerian commands as he leads his Dominion army engage the enemy forces. "Marines, form a line and suppress the enemies! Walkers, support the frontline soldiers! Siege tanks, do your role!"
"Roger that!" Goliaths' and Siege Tanks' pilots responded.
"Medics, tend the wounded!" Valerian continues giving orders, "Firebats! Cover medics and civilians! Marauders, support firebats!"
"Alright." Medics reported.
"Let's do this." Marauders responded.
"Let's take out these trashes." Firebats responded. "Take out that big guy!"
"Air units, engage the enemy flyers!" Valerian commands the air units. "Wraiths, support Vikings!"
"Will do, sir." Wraith pilots replied back.
"Already on it." Viking pilots replied back before they engages the battle. "Let's take these bastards out!"
"Ghosts and Spectres, support others and eliminate any vital targets!" Valerian continues giving orders.
"Affirmative." Ghosts and Spectres replied back.
"Banshees! Eliminate who trying to enter into the other districts! Do not spare them one inch!" Valerian continues.
"Roger that." Banshee pilots replied back.
Right now the situation in Korhal city is in chaos, but so far there were only some injuries and no casualties, civilians have successfully escaping from the battlefield, marine soldiers and medics are helping and protecting the wounded civilians. On the battlefield, the Dominions are pushing back the enemies greatly while they are able to minimizing the damages thanks to the Ghosts' and Spectres' teams as they are burying their bullets into enemies' brains from afar together with their abilities.
In that situation, they can tell that the enemies are no match against Terrans' weaponry and arsenals, especially against heavy walkers like Goliath and Thors. Even with their mightiest and strongest ground beasts, they were still no match against Terrans' superiority weaponry.
…
Less than an hour has passed, all the enemies' forces has been defeated, the Dominion has turned the tide, and they were able to minimize the damages and completely overwhelmed the enemy forces. A great victory of this sudden battle for Dominion.
"*Sigh*" Emperor Valerian sighed in relief after the sudden battle.
"Reader indicates that none of the enemies have breached to the other areas. Well done, Emperor. That was impressive." Admiral Matt compliments.
"It was nothing, I learned this from Commander Raynor." Valerian replied. "If only Commander Raynor was here, he would've easily push back the enemies in no time."
"I don't know where he went, couldn't contact him, and he didn't even contact us. It has been half a year since his disappearance." Admiral Matt said. "I have even seek Hierarch Artanis's aids, and they couldn't even find him as well."
"…" Valerian remained quiet before he look at the view of the Korhal City.
…
Later
"Good evening everyone. This is Kate Lockwell, from UNN. Today's report is that, in this evening, a mysterious gateway appeared out right at the centre of Korhal City which in front of the Augustgrad. Follow up there was a massive raiding troops of unknown faction came out from the gateway and started to terrorize the city. Fortunately the Dominion was able to turn the table and there were no casualties on our side. For this is a complete victory for Dominion. Now the question is: how a gateway was appeared right in the centre of Korhal City? And what was the reason why it appeared out here? The questions are still remain mystery, but rest assure, for the Dominion will investigate this matter." The news reporter Kate Lockwell started to announce everything happened today broadcasting to everywhere, including to other worlds. "Meanwhile, there are still no news regarding Commander James Raynor, who was suddenly gone missing half a year ago. His last seen was in Joeyray's Bar on Mar Sara. Why was the commander of Dominion James Raynor gone missing? No one know why. I hope there's nothing happened on Commander James Raynor. This is it for today, for this is Kate Lockwell, from UNN." The news reporter ending today's report.
Marines, Marauders, and Firebats are now walking amongst the corpses to check for enemy survivors, "Gosh… look at this mess…" A marine commented at the gruesome view, the entire battleground has turned into a field of dead corpses, body remains, bloods painted the ground, corpses lying everywhere, even on the roofs as bloods flowing down on the walls. "This will take forever to clean up… this sure reminds me of the battle from two years ago."
"Don't ever bring that up…" Another marine talked back, "Damn those Moebius corps, bringin' those hybrid monsters and ruined the cities… lots of my friends died on that day…" They remember that unforgettable day when Moebius corps suddenly assault the cities as the hybrids was with them.
"How many bodies are here? Around thirty thousand?"
"Ha! They couldn't even match our force!" A marine said loudly with arrogant.
"Look at these faces… so hideous…" A marine said as he seeing the corpses of frontal soldiers, soldiers with pig face and green skin, and some giants, "…They got pig faces… are these even humans…?"
"…Doesn't look like human to me."
"Erm… perhaps they're mutants?"
"Still, there were humans with them."
"Check this big guy here out," They see a fallen headless giant humanoid creature (Ogre) lying among the corpses. "Wielding a heavy club there."
Then, one of the marines started, "…Weird…"
"What weird?" A nearby marine asked as he heard.
"Check them out," The marine replied back as he points his rifle at the dead soldier's attire, "Look what they're wearin', just armour plates, worn out shoes, thin-plated shields, and wielding a… pike?" He said while lifting out a pike from a fallen enemy human. "What era were they come from?"
The marines are gathering, "…Are they fools or somethin'?" One of them said as he took and look at the broken helmet, "Charging in with those… even called equipment?"
"Did they really think these armours can really protect them from bullets and cannons?" Another one said as the marine brought out a damaged armour.
"…Yeah, and what's more," One of the Marauders joined in the conversation while his hand is holding something, a head of a flying creature, "Do this 'thing' look like a zerg to any of you?"
"Mutalisk already scared the hell out of me," One of the marines replied back, "But that? That ain't something I seen before."
"I saw it can breathe out fire from its mouth before." A marine stated.
"I suppose it probably can head on mutalisk." Marauder said before he threw away the head.
"Hey! We got some survivors here!" A marine shouted at them from distance. The marines and others arrives there to take a look on the survivors. The survivors are worn out, exhausted, and spiritless. Their fighting force and pride are torn apart after seeing such devastation.
…
It took them a while to find all the remaining survivors, and the marines has gathered up and handcuffed all of them.
"Alright, we have at least hundreds of them here." Ghost said.
"Wow, take a look on that one," A marine spokes as he points his finger on one of the survivors, a demi-human and demi-wolf, wearing damaged armour. "A… wolfman?"
"Some of 'em are quite big that not even a human." Another marine commented.
"…" Ghost remained quiet as he reading those captives' minds, "Their minds are clouded and blurred, some more they have no spirit to fight on. Bring them to prison, tend their wounds," Ghost ordered them. "Once they're active again, they owe us their answers."
For the enemy survivors, it was a total defeat for them, because they have seen their comrades died too quickly without any chance to retreat under heavy bombardment from afar by Siege Tanks, marines and Goliaths firing hails of bullets that were enough to penetrate their shields and torn their limbs apart. Cloaked Wraiths, Banshees, and Reapers are wiping the remaining soldiers who ran away, Vikings that can transform into combat walker and firing a hail of bullets, the heavy walker Thors easily annihilate enemies' armoured and large units with cannons, and not even the flying creatures could match against the Vikings' firepower.
With just their shields and plate armours as their protection, they couldn't even withstand Terrans' attacks, especially cannons and bombs. With just their pikes, clubs, swords, blades, and arrows as their weapons, their forces couldn't even land a single killing strike on their foes. It was a bad luck for them. No, it was their bad luck brought them here.
…
Two hours later, medics has finished tending all the prisoners' wounds and giving them some foods to eat, now they were able to think and speak normally. Ghosts began to interrogating the prisoners, but nothing useful in the end, for the prisoners speak with unknown language. However, the Ghosts has learned a lot of things just by reading their minds, and Valerian is watching them entirely.
"Emperor." A ghost greets the emperor.
"Any luck?" Valerian asked.
"Nothing so far, they speaks with unknown language to us." The ghost replied while shaking his head, "So, we had no idea what they were saying. But, we have learned that they still have massive troops awaiting on the other side of the gateway, preparing to enter the gateway."
"…Unknown language? Could this mean that they came from another place where it's outside of this system?" Valerian said as he thinks. "Anyway, keep these prisoners alive, and we need an expert team that can learn and understand their language, so that it will be useful in the future. And about the enemy troops on the other side of the gateway, I will handle that from here."
"Understood." The ghost replied.
"And, if they're started to disobey, put them into cryostatis chambers. Don't execute them." Valerian added.
…
"Emperor," Admiral Matt started, "I suggest we best mobilize a large team and defend the gateway on the other side."
"Indeed," Valerian understands what the Admiral means, "They will suspect something must've happened to their first wave, so they will definitely launch their second wave onto us. For they must have expecting us having a huge losses. For the sake of civilians, we cannot let not even one of them enter here."
"Yes, we have to get over there and establish a base and heavy defensives to defend the gateway, more reinforcements will join up in the line." Admiral Matt said. "Also, we might expect we won't get any air support from there. However, we're lucky to have Vikings that can transform into walker combat mode, so they can accompany with the team to the other side and transform back into air fighter mode."
"I understand, and I will handle this matter," Valerian said, "For I want to take a look on the other side, to know where that world is located in which system, and to know where they came from, and why did they sent an army to attack us."
"Be careful Emperor, for we expects the second army will be bigger." Admiral Matt said. "Approximately around eighty thousand or even more."
"Admiral, while I away, I'll have you in charge taking care of Korhal." Valerian said.
"Leave that to me." Admiral Matt replied.
…
Korhal City
The Gateway entrance
At the centre of Korhal City, the corpses of the enemies has been disposed of completely, and the cleaning crew are still cleaning the entire places filled with bloods. Valerian and Dominion armies are preparing to travel to the other world through the gateway. SCVs are bringing construction materials, infantries are forming in lines, heavy walkers and tanks are in position. The scientist team are still analysing the gateway. '…This does not belong to protoss, they need at least a pylon close by to build one, but there is no pylon here.' Valerian thought while staring at the gate before a scientist approach. 'Who's capable to bring this gateway to here?'
"Emperor," One of the scientists arrived and greets.
"What did you learn?" Valerian asked.
"The structure of this gateway seems like from the old time, but… it somehow has some unknown power in it, which allow this gateway act as a portal, linking two worlds." The scientist explained. "But… so far we have no other explanation of how the gateway appeared here."
"It's alright," Valerian said before he looked back at the gate, "For that question, the answer is definitely lies on the other side which linked to the other world." And so, Valerian leading his Dominion army heading toward to the other world through the gate.
…
Another world
The gateway is on top of a hill, Valerian and his Dominion forces has arrived into the other world through the gateway, the weather right now is evening.
"So here is the other world. Alright, get SCV to build the base at here! I want all bunkers surrounding this hill! Deploy Siege Tanks in proper places! We will not let any enemy slip through our defences! Vikings, scouts around the area to check any movement!" Valerian commands with no hesitation, and all of his troops are begin to move by his orders. "We have approximately a few hours to set up our defences before the enemy forces arrive!"
"Yes Emperor!" The troops responded to his order. SCVs are begun to build the Command Centre beside the gateway, bunkers are ready to be built around the hill surrounded the gateway, Siege Tanks arrived to their positions and deployed into siege mode, they have no time to set up heavy walls to surround the gateway.
…
Later
"Nightfall in 30 minutes." Adjutant reminds to everyone.
The Dominions has finished setting up the defences, the sky grew dark, spotlights are placed to lighten up all over the places, the Vulture groups has done placing the Spider Mines all over the field path where the enemy forces will use that path, marines are inside all of the bunkers, siege tanks are ready in anytime, and Vikings are in standby mode. SCV has just finished building up the Sensor Tower, allowing everyone to know the enemies' movements and positions.
Valerian right now is inside the command centre monitoring the entire battlefield accompanied with a few marines. "I wish I could just persuade them to stop this meaningless fight, but… without knowing their language, all we could do now is to hold them off from this hill." He said.
"There's nothing we can do to talk to them, Emperor." A marine said. "They entered and started to attack the civilians, but luckily no one was killed."
Then, adjutant started to warn, "Warning. Multiple hostilities approaching from the north."
Sensor started to show thousands of marking on the map from the north direction, "The enemies have arrived. Everyone, prepare for battle!" He ordered all of his forces to ready for combat, all units are in their positions and standby, holding their attack until the Emperor give them an order to fire. Monitoring enemies' movements with map, and when they arrived within the firing range, Valerian start. "Now!"
…
On the battlefield
"Now!" The Emperor Valerian Mengsk gave out the order. A war against unknown forces has started.
Everyone received the order, and they know what to do. They sees enemies on their sights, and they engages. Siege tanks began to fire across the field, destroying their formations marines and goliaths firing hails of bullets across the field, burying bullets into enemies, ghosts and spectres are firing enemies from afar in cloaked mode, the spider mines reacted when enemies are within its sensor range, then react by moving closer to the targets and exploded, Viking transformed into flight mode and engaging the enemy flyers. In night, Terran Dominion has advantages.
The enemies had no idea what coming to them, under the night and without any lighting support, they could not able to see well, especially projectiles and siege cannons. Marines and Goliaths firing their bullets that pierce through their protections, siege tanks firing their cannons that striking them hard from afar, heat-seeking missiles that seek and pound down their enemies' flyers. Even with their fastest knights are unable to avoid siege cannons and deadly spider mines, once triggered, the spider mines will not stop chasing its targets until it reached and auto detonated, killing hundreds per mine. Predators released and hunting down their preys with its deadly metallic sharp claws and unleashing their ability Lightning Field, not even enemies' mightiest warriors can withstand Predators' ferocity.
…
Next day
On the next day, sunrise. The Dominion is once again achieved an overwhelming victory, with well-placed bunkers, siege tanks, and missile turrets, almost nothing can penetrate through Terrans' defences. The entire battleground filled with corpses, crows flying all over the places, and once again they will have to clean up these corpses on this battlefield.
The Dominion are now improving their defensives as they are constructing large and tall metallic walls surrounding the entire hill, converting the entire hill into an octagon-shaped fortress, enough to store thousands of arsenals and vehicles, armed with multiple artillery cannons, huge enough to defend against all type of enemies from all directions and attacking enemies from afar. "Emperor, the remaining survivors has fled the battlefield." The Ghosts report to Emperor, "Should we go and hunt down the remaining?"
"Let them be," Valerian replied. "The outcome is already enough for us, I don't want any more blood to be spilled on the ground on meaningless war. For now, we need to strengthen up our defences on this base."
"Yes Emperor." Ghosts said before they cloaked themselves and away.
"Have some satellites launch into the space in order to know the map of this world, and…" Valerian commands, "We need to know where this planet lies in which system, so that we can bring some air units including some minotaur-class Battlecruisers to here." The engineers started to move as they received their orders from the Emperor.
Later, the group has finished checking up the planet's location, Valerian take a look at the result, "…This… This planet is really far away." He said. "It will take some time for the fleets of Battlecruisers to arrive this system… which is beyond our reach in space…"
…
Korhal
Admiral Matt Horner is in charge of recovering the Korhal and its cities' condition while the Emperor is away. Then, he receives an unknown transmission, he hesitated for a moment for wondering who before he put it up. A screen projected in front of him, and what surprised him, is that the one calling was the Commander of the Dominion James Raynor. "Sir?"
"Hey Matt," Raynor greets as usual. "Alright let me say somethin' first, sorry for my sudden absent, let just say… somethin' came up and I can't ignore it." He apologized while scratching the back of his head for feeling a bit guilty for his sudden disappearance.
"…" Admiral Horner remained quiet before he replies, "I won't pry in your matter there, probably something very important to you, and welcome back sir." He greets normally until he sees the legendary scarlet haired Ghost Sarah Kerrigan arrived beside him. "…Kerrigan!?" He surprised.
"Expect you would get surprised." Kerrigan said while smirking.
"Heh," Raynor smirked before he change the topic as his expression changed, "but anyway, I heard this news about this sudden terrorists attack, what do you know about that and this gateway? Care to fill us in with details?"
"…A lot, sir. A lot."
