//------------------------------// // Fluttershy and Pinkie's Special Mission // Story: MLP: Kerrigan's Journey // by King Xeno //------------------------------// The Leviathan moved and approached a large structure. Kerrigan had left her chambers to notice a Terran standing on the Leviathan. "Who are you?" Kerrigan asked, and he turned to face them, which showed that his entire left half was Zerg like. His eyes glowed orange constantly and the same glow came from his mouth as well. He wore a black coat, black pants, had black facial hair, and a black cap. "You do not recognize me? I am Alexi Stukov. We were enemies once." The Terran explained, and Kerrigan remembered him. "What are you doing here?" Twilight asked, and Stukov began to explain. "I was recovered after Kerrigan killed me, and I was brought back from the dead, infested, cured, infested again and went through years of experiments and torture. This is a Dominion lab, where I had been held captive for many years, so I will see it burn." Stukov said, his serious tone had made Twilight nervous, for she was unsure if he could be trusted. "Infested, cured, infested again, experimented on, and hunted... We have a lot in common... What can we do?" Kerrigan asked, and Stukov smiled. "We need to infiltrate the Station, but the entrance is heavily guarded." Stukov replied, and Kerrigan noticed the large amount of garrisons, where the soldiers would live while on the station. "We can infest those garrisons, use their own against them." Kerrigan suggested, but that raised a question. "How are we going to do that?" Spike asked, but then they all looked at Pinkie, who was tapping a Larva on the head periodically. "Who's a little cutie? You are! Who's a little cutie? You are! Who's a little cutie? You are!" She said happily, but then noticed the stares of them all. She frowned before asking "What?" A sac dropped onto the station undetected, and inside it was Pinkie. She jumped and did a few flips before landing on one hoof in a classic ninja pose. "I have made it on the metal thingy. Now what?" Pinkie asked, and she heard sacs splat behind her. A single Infestor had joined her, and it moved forward before stopping at her side. "I've provided you with an Infestor. Use it to plant Virophages around the garrisons, that will infest the Terrans inside, and they will fight for the Swarm." Kerrigan answered, and Pinkie crept forward to see a cluster of Marines. She smiled and launched her small pool of acid which began to melt the soldiers before they could alert anyone. Pinkie ran down with the Infestor following closely behind, it stopped and moved towards the garrisons and placed down a object that began to pulse and throb until a Virophage burst from it, the Virophage began to pump a green liquid onto the buildings and they grew tentacle like growths, and several infested Terrans began to exit the building with their claws ready and their Gauss Rifles loaded. Pinkie was shocked at first, but then grew to like the idea, while the others had different opinions. Twilight who was watching from the Leviathan felt sorry for the Terrans, they had lived nice and normal lives, now they were being turned into weapons of the Swarm, but what really made her heart sink is what she heard one say to its former team. "Please... Kill... Me..." One said, before it got shot several times, causing it to die, and it was able to muter one last sentence. "Thank... You..." Pinkie watched as the Infestor moved forward and began to do its work, it fired a small spine at a Terran Vehicle and soon the same tentacle like growths sprouted on the outside. Pinkie took a while to realize what this meant, but it eventually came to her: The Swarm was taking over their minds without infesting them. The Infested continued their attack and two more Virophages were placed. One an area for the Swarm to place a Hive Cluster had been cleared, the Dominion opened several vents on the floor of the station and began to pump out a yellow gas, upon contact the Infested began to explode and burst, killing them. "The Dominion is venting gas to kill the Infested." Izsha informed, but Abathur also had something to comment. "Clever. Chemical warfare. Gas unstable. Will take time to synthesize more." Abathur said, and a Hive Cluster was dropped via sac, allowing them to begin harvesting Minerals. "The Dominion will try to destroy our Virophages. We need to keep them defended." Kerrigan said, which meant that they would need to split up their forces. "Fluttershy, take Pinkie and your Brood then attack alongside the Infested. We'll defend the Virophages." Fluttershy nodded and waited for Pinkie to join her. "Let's go! We've got us a Dominion to crush!" Pinkie shouted. Fluttershy began to lay several eggs and soon out came large groups of Flutterlings, Roachflies, Hydratrice, Mutaflies (Mutalisks with butterfly wings), and Swarm Rabbits (Swarm Hosts with rabbit ears, Locusts known as Bunnies, also have rabbit ears). They waited near the Hive Cluster while the gas was still being vented, while the Dominion began to send forces against the Virophages, however they would be eliminated. The gas stopped, and the Infested began to emerge from the garrisons, and they continued moving forward to hunt down the Dominion and break into the laboratories down below. Pinkie, Fluttershy, and her Brood broke into a run, the several Infested paid them no mind, but instead focused on the Dominion. The Dominion was only able to watch in horror as the new Brood rushed forward and began to kill them. Fluttershy's Brood left no survivors, and continued to attack, until they managed to break through to the laboratories that lied below. Kerrigan approached with the Mane Six and Spike, then they entered knowing that something here was being used to help Mengsk.
