"Captain, as you can see, our sensor scans have found a large Confederate Base 50 miles south of our position. It is heavily gaurded with siege tanks, wraiths and marines. Although we have the advantage of a suprise attack, Arcturus Mengsk is at that Base and we need to take him alive."
"Vice-Admiral," replied Captain Martin, "If we take a few operatives into the frey, maybe we could take Mengsk from under their noses, making it easier to take the base." "Good idea Captain, your troops will be ready in 20 minutes, be prepared for heavy resistance even with Mengsk gone," instructed Stukov. 40 minutes later in Transit
"Sir, ETA is 5 minutes," the dropship co-pilot said. "Great, guys get ready. Coporal, while me, Roberts, and Wills are in the base you will control the attack force. As soon as we get out with Mensgk, start the attack." "Yes Sir!" the coporal replied.
Soon enough the Captain and his 2 operatives were jumping out of the Dropship into the wet jungle. As they were landing each one of them slowly disappeared as their personal cloaking devices were activated.
As they headed into the base the confederate patrols started to move into the base. Martin said to himself, "hmm, they must have found out, we gotta hurry." He ordered Wills and Roberts to pick up the pace. When tey arrived into view of the
enemy base the only place where they could get through was the loading bay. As they heading in Roberts informed the Captain, "Sir, our suits only have about 46 minutes of energy left, and it'll take at least an hour to get to Mengsk." "Well then, I guess we'll have to hurry then, the Captain said with a smile.
34 minutes later in Mengsk's ready room.
Martin grabbed Mengsk and his cloaking device surronded him. The sirens blarred in the base, hurt Martins ears as he ran down the corridors to the exit. He thought the sirens were for Mengsk being missing be he was wrong. As they jumped out of the Loading bay he was stunned at what he saw. Zerg, millions of them were heading towards this base, When he radioed the Coporal, he said there was around 3 million mixed zerg units heading for the base. And that we should evacuate the base immediatly. Martin knew it was the only way to save the citizens inside this base even though
Stukov wouldn't aprrove of his choice. So he decloaked as did Wills and Roberts. 3 marines looked stunned as they saw 3 ghosts and their leader Mengsk come into view from nowhere. "Arcturus! Sir! zergs headed this way
! ETA 5 minutes, defenses set for action," said the highest ranking of the 3 marines. Martin said to Mengsk, "I have a small army ready if you will agree for a truce." Arcturs replired,"I don't know if I heard you right. You want a truce? Hmm, well, since these are the circumstances, I agree, but once the zerg presence is eliminated, you must leave this sector." "I won't make any promises Mengsk," replied Martin.
2 minutes later with Confederate and UED Forces Standing Together
Mengsk spoke into the microphone, "All hands get ready to fire. Marines get with Medics and Firebats. Remember to use those drug things. Tanks get sieged. Wraiths and Valkryies, take position behind the turrets and bunkers, If Gaurdians appear send 'em to the ground. Science Vessels get your Irradiate and Detection systems online."
"ETA 23 seconds sir!" exclaimed Second in Command Stone. "We better be ready," said Martin to himself.
The Zergs are about to hit
The Zerg started to swarm the base. First with wave after wave of zerglings, easily plowed down by Siege Tanks and Firebats. The next wave consisted of Hydralisks and Mutalisks. The mutas died fast to bunkers and turrets but the Hydras kept fighting. They blasted through a small defense grid in the Nothern side and started to fire at civilians running around in the compound. Wills and Roberts cloaked and moved in to take them out. Soon the Hydras were nothing more then piles of blood staing the ground.
The next wave was Guardians and Ultralisks. Gaurdians died to Valks and Wraiths but the Ultras were too strong. Mengsk, looking out onto the battlefield hearing scream after scream as Marines and Medics alike were cut into pieces by these huge beasts.
The tanks quickly unsieged and moved onto the top of the compound but were hit by more guardians. Martin was in a frantic rush to find Roberts and Wills. When he found Wills his leg had a huge gash in it. Wills looked to his left were Roberts once stood, now only a lifeless body with an Ultralisk blade in it.
Mengsk, his officials, and Martin and Wills were at the bottom of the compound that was the most heavily defended.
Then, as instinct would do, Wills and Martin both turned around at the same time to same a Lurker burrow through the wall. The blasted it to bits in seconds. "Mengsk, I suggest we get to the loading bays." Martin said to him. "good idea, for once," replied Mengsk. So they headed off to the bays. Being on the south side of the base, the bays were full of civilians trying to escape. The only problem was that Devourers were guarding the exits so no ships could leave.
Mengsk and Martin each thought they were dead meat when, out of the blue, came a the Big flagship, Hyperion, and Zypher Squadron. Accompanyed by four Battlecruisers and 8 dropships, the tides in this war quickly started to turn.
The ships unloaded Marines, Tanks, Goliaths, Medics, and Vultures, and they quickly started to fight the zerg.
The Hyperion landed in the bay and people started rushing into it for refuge. High Marshall Raynor came out to meet Mengsk and Martin with a smile on his face.
"Well well, it's nice to see you guys again." They nodded and headed onto the ship, Martin and a Medic helpings Wills up the ramp.
The Zypher Squadron Ground Units quickly reloaded into the ships and headed for orbit, but not before picking up Admiral Stukov and his men.
In Martin's Quaters
"Martin," Spoke Stukov, "Even though you disobeyed a direct order I will not punish you for this becuase you have saved many more lives then would have been saved. Also, Zypher Squaron will be meeting with our UED fleet to make a plan to fight these, zerg." "Sir, if I may ask, what will I be doing in this plan?" questioned Martin. "Why Martin, did I not tell you? You are the new Lieutenant Commander of the UED Fleet. Good Job." And with that Stukov left the room. As Martin watched Stukov walk away he thought, Do we really have a chance against the zerg?
