Lifetime Rating for The_great_cornholio: 5.0000 |  | Okay guys, this is my first attempt at a Fan-fic, which Shockwave did so great at. Hope you enjoy it... Yes, I realize that there have been lots of horrible fan-fics recently, I'm bored, and decided to post this story. So without any further adieu, enjoy the story!(BTW, I did not have time to do line breaks. I don't care what score I get. I just want people to enjoy it...)
The ever warring races known as the zerg, protoss,and terrans, are at a peak. With the advent of new units, and new worlds to conquer, the races fight viciously to survive the hostile environments.
Now,Enter the mind of "Arridan", a young,templar trainee with the protoss. While only 253 years old, he already possesses great power. His flow of energy seems to come from aiur itself. Now, step into the life and struggles of Arridan, in...
The Battle of Aiur
Chapter 1:The High Templar
As the young templar stepped out of his meditation quarters, he looked around to survey the lush,green world of Aiur. He walked over to the temple of Khala, it's grand towers glistening in the warmth of the twin suns. Bowing down, Arridan paid his respects, and left. While walking to his next point of worship, he saw the commander of the protoss forces,Rayzoc, talking to a group of zealot warriors.
"Executor, may I have a word with you?" asked the young warrior, his red eyes staring at the great executor."Of course, young templar. What is your question?" replied Rayzoc. "Sir, I have a strange feeling about today...something isn't right."
"Explain yourself" Replied Rayzoc."Well, I feel as though,somehow, there is an evil force on this planet. I can feel their aura,sir." explained arridan."Of course you do, that is the zerg. Have you not heard of them, templar?" asked the warrior."Only stories told by survivors."
"Templar , you have nothing to fear. The zerg are an inferior race. Your psionic powers are more than a match for any zerg."
"Will the time come for me to test my powers, executor?"asked the templar.The executor, a Dark Templar, stood there and thought for a moment.He put his hand on the templar's shoulder."When the time comes, you will know. Then you will have the true test of of your abilities."The Dark Templar took his hand off the templar's shoulder. As he walked away, his figure became distorted and blurry. Just as he went invisible, he yelled back"Good luck templar. I will see you again."
Chapter2: The coming of the terrans
"Executor, something is moving over that hill to the west." said Arridan. " These strange beings are terrans. They have come here only recently. They are no threat to us. They have enough problems among themselves. But, I'll investigate this anyway. It may be a hostile group. Wish me luck, templar." replied executor."Wait Rayzoc!I have a bad feeling about this...as if Khala himself is telling me something. I cannot describe it." Warned the templar."Templar, you have no reason to be afraid. I can cloak, remember? And besides that, these terrans are far inferior to us. Entar Adun!" answered Rayzoc."...Entaro Adun, executor..."
The Dark Templar stepped away, his long cape flowing in the wind like an elegant god. The templar watched the Dark Templar walk away until he became a mear blur in the horizon.
The Dark Templar walked patientally to the ever growing terran base. Careful to avoid turrets and Science vessels, he snuck past 2 marines that were having a conversation amongst themselves. The Executor could not understand the words that these'Terrans' were saying. Something about "Poontang"."Hmmm...these terrans are an extremely bizzare race..." thought the DT. Making his way to what he thought was the command center, he stood against the wall to hear what the terrans were saying.
"Yes, I agree in full,sir. These protoss must be eliminated in order to take control of this planet." said one commander, who spoke with a prussian accent."By aiur's will! These terrans want to vanquish us all!" The Dark Templar felt the anger build inside his body. He raised his arm to his face, and a gigantic warp blade appeared.
"FOR AIUR!" yelled the enraged warrior."FEEL THE WRAITH OF ADUN!" Unable to control his anger, he lept forward. His warp blade cut through the air, slicing a marine in half. "WHAT THE HELL?!? SOMEONE GET A SCIENCE VESS...AAHHHHH!!" yelled a marine. The saber-like warp blade cut through his body, spilling his intestines on the ground in a puddle of blood and bodily fluid. The terran base became filled with screams, as marines were massacred left and right. The command center became covered with blood and napalm from firebats who had been mutilated by the templar warrior. Gunfire broke out, flying in all directions. The desperate marines fired wildly, hoping to hit something. Several more died while trying to protect themselves. Heads flew clear across the facility, as did body parts and innerds. The templar warrior was covered with blood, although still cloaked. As he chased down a marine, he saw blue sparkles above his head. "By the might of adun, I have been spotted!" said the DT. Immeadiately,almost instantly, hundreds of gauss rifles fired at the warrior. At first , the iron spikes simply disentigrated in his plasma shield, but within seconds, the blue-green aura around him faded, and he was pierced by several hundred rounds. The defeated warrior vanished in a burst of blue flames. He had been defeated , and now the Terrans were ready for payback.
Chapter3: Prelude to battle
"NO! Executor! NOOOO!" yelled out the templar,back at his base.The warrior had felt the aura fade from the defeated DT. The other protoss soldiers looked at him in shock.
"Rayzoc is dead?""How can that be?""Who will lead us now?" asked the protoss forces. The templar floated over to the citadel of adun. "Fellow Warriors, with the unfortunate loss of our executor, we are all somewhat stunned.But he did not die in vain! He died for aiur, and for all of us. His sacrafice will ensure that we emerge victorious in battle with these terrans! Tomorrow, we attack the terran base! When we are through , there will be no more terrans! ADUN TORIDAS!" yelled the templar."ADUN TORIDAS!" Yelled the protoss forces.
With that , Arridan went back to his living quarters. But instead of sleep, he meditated."Khala, give me strength for the battle ahead, and may we avenge the death of rayzoc." he said to himself. For the rest of the night, he sat in his chambers,silently.
The dawn came soon, and the protoss warriors gathered in their pre-assigned groups. "Alright , I will now check all of our groups. When I say your group, respond by saying'ready!',understand?" spoke arridan. "Groups one and two, zealots!" "Ready!"replied the merciless soldiers
"Group three, dragoons!""Ready!"spoke the metallic warriors.
"Group four,Dark Templar!" "Ready!" Responded the cloaked ones.
"Groups five and six, scouts and Corsairs!" "Ready!" said the airborne warriors.
"Group seven, High Templar!" "Ready!" yelled the magical warriors.
"And group eight is the reaver support. Of course , they can't talk, seeing as how they're big metal slugs....errr...I mean...Heavy assault transports" Said Arridan. The groups of warriors laughed, except for the reavers, who were desperately wanting to annihilate him.
"Just kidding reavers, you are a valuable asset to us." responded arridan. " Now,let us pray before we go into battle." The protoss bowed their heads."For those of us that make the ultimate sacrafice, may khala watch over your souls. And may aiur live on."Entaro Daggoth!" he yelled. "Entaro Daggoth!" Yelled back the 'toss. "MOVE OUT!" he ordered.
Chapter4:The battle begins
As the vast protoss forces flew and marched over the lush plains of aiur, they all preyed to themselves quietly, hoping for the best.
"CHARGE!" Yelled the templar. The battle had begun. The zealots were the first to attack the fortified terran base. They ran toward the stronghold, warp blades extended. The air was suddenly hot, as fire from siege tanks ripped through the ranks of zealots. Several died in a few short seconds, their bodies disentigrating under the intense heat of the plasma."Keep attacking!" yelled the head zealot. The brave zealots ran closer and closer to the base. When they were within 100 feet of the base, the bunkers opened up, spraying a torrent of lead upon the already shaken warriors. The zealots finally reached the base, and began ripping it apart. Several zealots attacked the bunkers, their warp blades cutting into the metal like a hot knife through butter. Flames erupted as firebats desperately tried to fend off the zealots. Only a few zealots died to the burning napalm, their bodies charred beyond recognition. Several siege tanks were attacked by enraged zealot warriors, their titanium alloy shredded by the warp blades. Many tried to unsiege,only to be destroyed by more zealots. One crew of a tank tried to run, but were sliced apart by zealots, their bodies flying in all directions, their screams echoing through the base of the terrans. Losing many zealots rapidly, they retreated, in favor of more favorable fighting conditions, like the open fields.
The remaining zealots ran back to the group of protoss."Templar, we have destroyed many of the enemy, but we have lost a great deal of soldiers in the process." said the zealot commander. "As I thought, the Terrans are coming to attack us. We will fight the good fight, as they say." The templar said. Almost on cue, the ground rumbled from the forces of terrans coming to attack,hell bent on revenge. Arridan looked on as the terrans formed infront of him. The battleground was suddenly quiet, as the two waring forces stared at each other. "FOR AIUR!" yelled a DT. "CHARGE!" yelled the terran commander. The two raging forces clashed, their combined forces shaking the ground. Dark Templars cloaked and attacked the terrans. The grounds became a torrent of blood and metal. Siege Tank fire ripped several warriors into shreds. Zealots slashed away at their enemy. A helpless terran fired at a zealot, his rounds bouncing off the plasma shield that surrounded it. "NOOO!!" he yelled, as the zealot stabbed him in the chest, his mouth overflowing with blood. Then it was all over for him. With one more swift slice, the body of the marine was cut in two, bone fragments and intestines bouncing off the visors of other marines, also fighting for their lives. Reavers stood at the back of the attack group, their robotic scarabs firing into the terrans, exploding with a force that blew several apart and bursted stomachs of those few who were unlucky enough to survive the blast.Dragoons fired into the squads upon squads of marines, covering the battlefield with an inch of blood. Overhead, scouts engaged wraiths in epic struggles of air superiority. Meanwhile, arridan stood at the back of the ranks, he and the other high templar focusing their energies. A blue ball of crackling(no, not the zerg kind) energy formed above his head. He stared at a force of marines and goliaths. Then, with a thrust forward of his palm, he released a Psionic storm. The marines screamed in pain, as their futile brains were shredded by the psychic energy. The Goliaths were not spared from the onslaught. Their metallic structures buckled and snapped under the pressure, their pilots exploding in their seats. A siege tank turned it's arclite shock cannon at the young templar, and fired a blast of hellfire- like- plasma. The templar warrior was blown back by the explosion, his shield completely gone, and his life down to 1."Well...it looks like I'll be seeing khala soon..." he said. Just then, the second High Templar, Daggoth(Not the zerg cerebrate) floated over to him, his blue trail making for an easy target. But despite the danger, he made it to Arridan."Arridan,listen to me.There is still a way. A way to help our protoss brethren."said the templar."You don't mean..." replied the protoss mage.He looked around the battlefield. Thousands upon thousands were dying, their blood spilling on the ground. Soon the warriors were wading in a foot deep of intestines and blood, tripping over dead bodies."Yes, my brother , I will do it. Let us merge so we may help our brethren."
The two templar moved toward each other, until a blue ball of energy formed. Arridan felt his body merge with Daggoth(Not in that way, you perverted bastard). A zealot looked at the new form in amazement. "Daggoth?Arridan?" he asked. "We are now known as Arrigoth. By joining our auras, we have become one. We are now.." but his speech was interupted. The zealot who was so young, only 142, (18 to us) was incenerated by a plasma round, his body disentigrating. The archon known as Arrigoth stood there,helplessly.
But something was different. He felt a horrible rage grow inside him. The psi around his body glowed blue, illuminating the battle. Soon, the rage and anger inside him took over him, his insaciable urge to kill growing. "DESTROY!" his echoing voice yelled."ANNIHILATE!" he yelled. The archon floated over to a company of over 100 marines. "OH MY FRIGGIN GOD! WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!" yelled one of them. "I DON'T KNOW! KILL IT !" With that, the marines fired hopefully into the archon, their spikes not even getting close to the body of the swirling mass of energy. "ERRADICATE!" yelled Arrigoth. He placed his writsts together, and fired a blast of pure psionic energy. The marines screamed as 10,15,20 of their men exploded in a burst of blood. The last standing marine fell to the ground, a puddle forming under him. "NO! PLEASE ! I BEG YOU! NOOO!" but his words were in vain.The enraged archon annihilated the terran meanace, pieces of bone and sinew flying across the battlefield,bouncing off of the metallic skin of the siege tanks. Arrigoth moved toward a lone siege tank, shrugging off a direct hit by the howitzer-like cannon. The tank crew climbed out, but did not make it. The archon released a psionic shockwave that pierced the metal of the tank, exploding the plasma cells that had been used to store the shock cannon ammo. The tank exploded in a violent storm of fire. The escaping tank crew was immeadiately ventilated by red-hot shrapnel, the sharp metallic pieces slicing into their backs, exploding out their chests in a spray of blood and bone, their innerds fliying out of thier bodies. Still others were decappitated by the lethal remains of the siege tank, their necks ripped into by the razors that once were metal plating. They felt a horrible pain, then nothing, as their heads were mutilated by shrapnel. Their remains flew several hundred feet, slamming into other warriors, knocking them off thier feet for the last time.
Chapter 5:The unwanted company
As Arrigoth continued on his orgy of death and vengeance, the ground started to rumble,ever so slightly. No one seemed to notice it , as the clashing forces of Terran and Protoss destroyed each other.But, arrigoth, with his keen 'toss senses, detected the tremor."What is this? I feel a power...but It's not of human or protoss origin...". But his train of thought was derailed, as a blast from a shock cannon blew him on his feet. He stood up ,dazed and slightly weaker. As he was floating toward the tank with a vengeance, he heard a human voice."ZERG! WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING HERE!?" It was a firebat, his smoky voice yelling out the phrase that stopped the forces of both races in their tracks.The ground started to shake violently. Then, a force of over 12 ultralisks appeared over the hill closest to the terrans. "OH MY F*CKING GOD! FIRE!FIRE!" screamed out the terran marine. The whole planet felt as if it was going to shake apart. The lumbering elephant-like ultralisks charged forward, gauss rifle bullets bouncing off of the thick carapace that seemed like tank armor. A volley of 10 siege tanks opened up at once, turning the air into an oven that sucked the breath out of all those around it. The force of Ultras fell over on their sides, gaping holes gushing out blood. The ultras had been defeated, without any losses."Corporal, go check it out!" yelled a terran officer."Yes sir!" yelled back the terran marine. He plodded over to one of the ultralisks. "oh my god..." he whispered.The flesh on the wounded ultras was quickly healing. "SHIT! IT'S NOT DEAD YET! FIRE! BLOW IT TO.." but his sentence was interrupted when one of the ultras got up and sliced the marine in half, it's giant Kaiser blades slicing the flesh of the marine like a hot knife through hot butter. The siege tanks quickly fired another volley of plasma rounds at the ultras , who were now up and running. The battlefield once again became a torrent of screams, as the giant tank-like creatures mauled and sliced their way through the ranks of the terrans. The siege tanks were firing non stop, their hot plasma rounds slamming into the sides of the the ultras. Several had fallen already, their bodies disentigrated by explosive plasma. But 4 more were still alive. "Captain, we're out of plasma cells!" yelled one of the tank crews. The other tanks soon ran out ,too. "ABANDON YOUR TANKS AND GRAB A RIFLE!" Yelled the terran captain. The crews tried to escape, only to be beheaded by a swipe of kaiser blades. "TERRAN FORCES RETREAT!" yelled the commander. The terrans ran as fast as their HEV suits could carry them. The medics ran,too, but were also trying to save the wounded. "SCREW IT!THEY'RE DEAD!" shouted the commander. The medics ran back to the line, administering stimpack shots to anyone and everyone in an attempt to help them run faster. And alone, in the corner of it all,was arrigoth...
