//------------------------------// // And so we Toss them in // Story: The Zerg of Equestria // by Marsara //------------------------------// {Marsara, first POV} "I Don't know how or why the Protoss are here but we will destroy them!" I shouted through the Hivemind. "As you wish, Marsara." I heard Karshra say over the Hivemind. The Protoss showed up out of nowhere and ambushed Karshra and the ten Sprinters escorting her to the Main Hive when they warped in from a Warp Prism, three Zealots, two High Templar, and a Probe, and attacked them. Only Karshra and three Sprinters escaped from them but the Protoss followed them back to the Hive. Now myself, Karshra, twenty Sprinters, and three Rangers, snake like Zerg originally called a Hydralisk that fires spines from its shoulders able too pierce through rock, and its arms end with a long scythe like blade on each arm able too cut right through most metals. They had hatched right before Karshra got here after three days, are defending the Hive, buying time for Paranoid too get here with the rest of our forces. "My life for Auir!" I heard about a hundred or so other Protoss yell from farther away. It seems these Protoss were just a recon team for the rest of their army. I knew there were too few for an attack. "KEKEKE!!!" 'A new batch of Sprinters must of hatched.' Right after I thought that I saw six Sprinters run past me towards the Protoss, which were now about fifty Zealots, thirty High Templar, and the Probe from before, I'm surprised that its still alive. No matter they will all die before I let this Brood fall... That is what I thought before I noticed only two Sprinters and a Ranger are left alive besides me and Karshra. "Retreat into the cave!" And so we all retreated into the cave where the main Hive was located. "Glory be too P One Zero Zero!" I heard a dying Zealot shout. 'P One Zero Zero? I don't remember a StarCraft character with that name.' I thought. 'The only place I've heard that name in StarCraft before is...' My eyes widened as I realized who P One Zero Zero is. "Marsara? Are you all right?" I heard Karshra ask. "No I'm not alright." I told her. "We need to capture that Probe immediately!" "Why?" "Did you hear what one of the dying Zealots said?" "You mean 'glory be too P One Zero Zero'?" Yes that is the Probes name. Ask you're self; why would a Zealot wish glory upon a Probe? A simple worker too the Protoss yet instead of wishing glory too someone like Artanis or Tassadar he wished glory too a Probe. "I understand now. That Zealot just gave away a source of either leadership or information." But we must wait until Paranoid gets here or we'll be killed. I had wanted the Probe captured immediately but after I had thought about it we needed Paranoid and his forces before we can capture it. "I think I can help get you that Probe." Said a voice too my left. I looked towards the voice but only found a Sprinter. "Who's here?!" I called out, getting into a fighting stance along with the other Zerg. "Right here." It said. I saw the Sprinter from before morph into some bug pony hybrid. "Who are you?" I asked it, surprised by what I just saw. "I am Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, and I am here to help you." She said, striking a royal pose... Wait... I've heard that name before... But where? {Flashback, nine hundred BD(Before Discord)} "Are you s- sure about this Evella?" I asked the Sin named Evella beside me. "Of course I am." She said. "I am the Swarms Evolution Master for a reason." "I don't k- know about this tho- though." I stuttered. "We have no c- clue what will happen if we inj- inject a Changeling with the Zerg vi- virus." It has been about twenty eight or so years since I was sent here as a Broodmother and I haven't felt scared once besides when I first got here... But now I'm scared for a Changeling, never thought I'd say that, that is dying from blood loss after being attacked by a Manticore. If you're wondering what a Changeling is its a small blob with arms and a head that can change into anything it has seen. "Do not worry Marsara. Sure the Changeling strain doesn't host the virus already like most Zerg but they are still Zerg. And like all Zerg they will evolve to survive the virus." I- if you say so. Evella sighed and put a talon on my shoulder. "You know as much as I do that the virus is the only thing that will heal her fast enough to stop the bleeding. Considering the virus is all ready in most strains of the Zerg giving them regenerative powers Chrysalis should be just fine." With that Evella injected the virus into Chrysalis... It made her stop breathing. "Why isn't it working?!" It see- seems that the Changelings a- are not meant to car- carry the virus... I began to start crying from the pain of knowing another thinking Zerg has died and there was nothing I could do... I hope Infestra will forgive me for not being able to save Chrysalis. "Consume..." My head perked up upon hearing her talk. "Did you hear that Evella?" "Yes but I could not understand what she said." "Consume all..." "What was that Chrysalis?" I asked her. Her head whipped out of the blob part of her body and she screamed. "CONSUME ALL!!!" I heard the sound of hooves trotting into the room. "Whats going on Marsara?" Said a voice I wished I didn't hear, Paranoid. Chrysalis looked towards him and lunged at him. Blood splattered onto the wall and floor around them, I could hear screams of pain, I heard the sound of bones snapping and then Chrysalis left through the door way Paranoid came through. I looked at Paranoid and saw the bloody corpse of Paranoid the place where his left wing should be is nothing but a bloody stub now, I saw his wing laying in the door way, his chest was wide open with one of his lungs laying on the ground beside him and his head was twisted in a way that it was never made to. I started to cry even harder. Paranoid was like a son to me ever since he joined me and Karshra. No... NO!!! "I WANT EVERY ZERG IN EQUESTRIA AFTER HER!!! SHE IS TO BE BROUGHT TOO ME DEAD OR ALIVE!!! USE OF ULTRALISKS AND BRUTALISKS APPROVED!!!" I screamed through the Hivemind. "As you wish Marsara." I heard Karshra reply. {Present day} "Its you." I stated with venom in my voice as I started walking over too her. "What do you mean its me?" She asked me, backing up into the wall of the cave. "You, Alpha one zero zero destination: Chrysalis, first and last leader of the Zerg Changelings... Killer of Paranoids pony persona... You know, we almost couldn't bring him back from the damage you did too him, you bitch." I got right next too her and slapped her hard enough to hear a bone crack. She just shrugged it off, seeming to understand she couldn't stop it.. "I won't pretend I know what you're talking about but I am sorry for what ever I might have done too you and the Swarm." I was still angry as all Hell at her right now she really sounded like she can't remember... Or she wasn't in control, just like with me and... I need to do some research later. "I won't forgive you but fighting right now is pointless with all those Protoss out there." The cave decided to shake at that moment to help prove the Protoss were still out there. "Now can you tell me how you suppose you're gonna get that Probe?" "Simple; I'll change into a Zealot and lead it away from the other Protoss than you and a few Zerglings can grab it." "Their called Sprinters now." Karshra stated. Chrysalis looked confused. "Where did the new name come from?" Chrysalis asked. "Paranoid couldn't remember their name while Marsara was stoned so he renamed them Sprinters." At this moment Chrysalis turned into a green leaf with seven tips, I also heard a familiar song coming from Karshra. "Real mature guys." I deadpanned. "Come on though." Karshra started. "Some creatures have to keep this place interesting." Chrysalis finished. "That's one thing Paranoids for. Now come on we need to get that probe!" "On it." With that Chrysalis changed into a Zealot and left to find the Probe while me and the two Sprinters dug through a small part of the cave too the outside and hid, waiting for Chrysalis and the Probe. About eight minutes later thy showed up and we sprung the trap. The Probe was surrounded the two Sprinters blocking it from leaving with me and Chrysalis blocking him from the hole we made into the cave. I walked up too it and picked it up then brought it back into the cave and covered the hole with a few rocks that were nearby. I placed the Probe in the middle of the cave and I began asking it questions. "How did you and the other Protoss get here?" "BEEP BOP BEP BEEP" Buck it can't speak English... Wait I can try invading its mind. Yes lets go wit that. I thought up the same question and pushed that thought into the Probe, forcing a Hivemind connection too be made. "How did you and the other Protoss get here?" "I already told you that their just psionic energy. Wait you can't understand me, can you?" "Now I can." "How did you understand me just now yet not before?" "Because I have established a Hivemind connection with you." "Oh right, I forgot Zerg could do that since I haven't seen the lore for Zerg since I was human." After he said that I knew precisely who this was... But just to be sure. "Does the name; Marsara Semmeture mean anything too you?" "Wait Marsara? Shes here?!" Yep its him. I walked over too him and brought him into a hug. "Welcome too the Swarm, Brandon Semmeture." "This has too be the weirdest thing I have ever seen." Karshra said, ruining the moment. "Karshra! You ruined it!" I yelled at her. "I think the Probe has the same thoughts as you though." She replied. "This is so weird. Who are you anyway?" "I'm Broodmother Marsara also known as: Marsara Semmeture." His one eye showed that he didn't believe me. So I recited a little jingle we made one day while playing StarCraft. "Here we have a Pro." I began. He seemed to remember it. "But don't forget the Toss." "And when there's Zerg involved." "We all got problems." He said, finishing the jingle. It really is you. And so we hugged more. "Don't worry sweet thing. I don't think I would have recognized you either if I hadn't heard P One Zero Zero."
