MLP: Kerrigan's Journey

by King Xeno


The Queen of Blades

Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie were sitting the chamber, they tried to make sense of everything that's happened so far, but nothing seemed to calm them. They heard a wet sound as the 'door' pulled open, leaving small strands of mucus between them. They seized the opportunity and ran through as quickly as they could, for they did not know if they would have another chance. What they found was many of the monsters, each one staring at them as they moved past. Twilight heard something and before her eyes a creature showed itself to them. It was greenish, its torso curved upwards into the darkness, but it didn't seem hostile. Twilight was able to pick out more details as they approached. It had two arms that were crossed, its eyes were black with brown irises, two large tentacle like limbs spread from its head and had a large spine on the end. It now noticed them and turned to face the former ponies.

"You have awakened." Its voice echoed and was clearly female.

"Where are we? How do you know us?" Twilight asked, but the creature didn't respond, for something caused a disturbance. They all turned to see a large machine landing near them all, this machine was like nothing the Mane Six had ever seen before, capable of flight and obviously with some combat capabilities. However what shocked them most was the creature that exited. It was a human, the very thought of that was absurd. After all they only saw humans in fantasy books and fairy tales.

Warning. Zerg life forms detected. A voice came from the large machine, but they saw no one to speak the words.

"That's why I'm here. They'll either accept me as their Queen... Or I'll kill them one by one until they do." The human said, which filled the Mane Six with fear. The human walked towards them, she wore a skin tight suit that was white and gray. Her hair looked more like tendrils that grew from her skull. She was in the simplest of terms pretty.

The human walked to them, but focused on the other creature first.

"What are you?" She asked.

"I am Izsha. You created me to store your memories... Do you not remember?" It asked, which at least gave the former ponies a name.

"Yes... I do remember. More importantly... You remember me." The human's eyes turned a glowing yellow, and Izhsa's eyes did the same.

"You are the Queen of Blades... I serve you, my Queen." Izsha said, her eyes slowly returning to normal. It was then that the human faced them.

"What are you?" She asked, but they were unsure of how to respond.

"We aren't sure... All we remember is these monsters invading our home... Then we woke up in strange cocoons... And we looked like this..." Twilight explained, but that seemed to be enough for the human.

"I remember... I ordered you to be captured... To be made Zerg... To serve me..." Her eyes flashed yellow again and their eyes did the same. They felt something forcing its way into their minds, they knew that it would prove useless to fight, so they allowed it to happen.

"Yes, my Queen... We will serve..." They said in union, but the Queen seemed intrigued.

"It is obvious that you somehow retained your personalities... Interesting... You can express your emotions and thoughts beyond that of pure violence... You may be more useful than I intended. Feel free to call me by name if you should wish. I am known as Sarah Kerrigan." The Queen, said just as their eyes returned to normal.

"My Queen... We have a few questions... I mean... If you don't answering them..." Fluttershy said nervously.

"I will answer." Kerrigan responded.

"Why are we all so different?" Rarity asked, but Kerrigan began to chuckle.

"You each serve a different purpose. You are that of a military strategist." Kerrigan pointed at Twilight. "You are a heavy soldier." She pointed at Applejack. "You are a scout and aerial fighter." She pointed at Rainbow Dash. "You are an infestation specialist." She pointed at Pinkie Pie. "You are a locator of Minerals and Vespene." She pointed at Rarity. "You are a form of Brood Mother." She pointed at Fluttershy.

"A Brood Mother? What's a Brood Mother?" Fluttershy asked, a small amount worried about what she had been turned into.

"A Brood Mother is a specialized Zerg Queen that has the ability to spawn and raise an entire Brood of Zerg." Kerrigan answered.

"So you're saying she'll birth these Zerg creatures? How?" Rarity asked.

"She'll lay eggs. It's a simple and painless process. The eggs hatch very quickly. For now however she can only lay two types of eggs. Drone and Zergling eggs. Drones collect Minerals and Vespene. They also morph into every Zerg structure. Zerglings are the easiest to create soldier, they fight quickly and kill swiftly." Kerrigan explained.

"You mean we'll have to kill?" Rainbow Dash questioned.

"Do not fear, we will only kill those who pose a threat to us. We do not kill randomly... Not anymore at least." Kerrigan said before turning to face Izsha. "Call the Swarm. We move on Korhal."

"The Swarm is in disarray and will not answer your call. You will need to reclaim the Swarm before they will listen." Izsha explained, but Kerrigan let out a sigh of annoyance.

"Fine, take me to Char. We will begin there." Kerrigan said, and they felt the creature they were inside begin to move, as it traveled through the stars to the volcanic planet. Leaving the ponies confused, but loyal to their Queen.
