MLP: Kerrigan's Journey

by King Xeno

Kaldir

Spike had been reunited with his friends and although they were different, he still cared about them. However their time to visit would be cut short when Kerrigan could be heard talking with Zagara.

"You said you have wished revenge on the leader of the Terrans... There are no Terrans on this moon..." Zagara said, looking out at the frozen wasteland and the large frozen hatchery that towered over the Leviathan's mouth.

"We need Nafash's brood they have many useful adaptations." Kerrigan responded.

"Surely my Brood will be sufficient. Terrans are weak creatures." Zagara argued.

"Isn't that what you thought of me?" Kerrigan asked with a smile.

"This moon has intense pockets of cold storms called Flash Freezes. Almost all thermal temperature will be lost." Izhsa said, but Kerrigan noticed something.

"If I can the DNA of that Ursadon Matriarch then Abathur can use it to improve the Swarm." Kerrigan said, which the others agreed to.

Kerrigan, Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie landed on the moon, with four Zerglings (now the Swarmling strain) and four Flutterlings. They began to move forward and came across a peculiar sight. It was a Zerg that much was obvious, but the peculiar part was that it was frozen solid, but as they approached it broke free and approached them.

"This Roach is feral and not under the control of a higher entity." Izsha informed, but they moved onward and found another one.

"Another feral Roach? Something isn't right." Kerrigan muttered.

"Ah agree with yah there. Something awful suspicious is happenin'." Applejack said, but as they approached a large wall of ice, the wind picked up and they felt themselves getting colder, and colder, and colder. Soon they were covered in a thick shell of ice, and were unable to move.

"A flash freeze storm has arrived. While frozen you and your troops will be unable to do anything." Izsha said.

Several large furry creatures jumped down from a ledge and began to break the ice, and Abathur had something to say.

"Local Ursadon. Led by Matriarch. Collect essence. Can use to improve resistance to flash freeze storm." Abathur said, and the moment the ice wall broke, they unfroze, collecting two more Roaches into the fight. They attacked the group of Ursadon and killed them all. However they would now be able to resist the freezing effects of the flash freeze storm.

They continued onward and saw something that truly disturbed them, an entire Hive Cluster frozen solid, with several Overlords stuck on the ground and Drones frozen carrying minerals. Kerrigan moved forward and took control of the Hive Cluster, giving it their immunity to being frozen.

"The Protoss have sensed the Hive Cluster's awakening. They know we are here." Izsha informed.

"Protoss? What are Protoss?" Rarity asked, confused about this.

"The Queen of Blades!? But what has happened to you? Frail and human! Warn Shakuras! The Golden Armada will strike her down!" A Protoss Expedition Leader shouted.

"Izsha, please tell me the Protoss are out of range..." Kerrigan said, and the answer pleased her until she heard the entirety of it.

"Yes, but they have several structures that enhance their psionic powers, with them they can contact Shakuras." Izsha answered.

"Then we destroy the Protoss." Kerrigan said, pointing forward. "You six go and attack the Protoss. I'll stay behind and protect the Hive Cluster." Kerrigan ordered. The Mane Six nodded and rushed forward with Fluttershy's Brood which now contained Roachflies. Roaches with large decorative butterfly wings, they were a bright pink color. They encountered several Zealots who charged to attack, them and were quickly slain.

"A flash freeze storm has arrived, the Protoss will be vulnerable. We should attack while they are defenseless." Izsha said to the ponies who took the idea and began to attack. The Protoss unable to fight were being destroyed and the first Psi-Link Spire was in view. The Roachflies began to fire their green acid in an attempt to destroy the Spire, but the shields proved to be very strong, and it took a while to destroy the structure. Rarity noticed the large cluster of Minerals nearby and gasped.

"Um... Izsha... Do you think you could drop a Hatchery? I mean... If it's not too much trouble..." Fluttershy asked, and soon a Hatchery arrived by Sac, and was collecting the Minerals and Vespene. They began to continue onward but Abathur's voice filled their heads.

"Additional Ursadon Matriarch essence can be collected, improve Swarm during flash freeze." Abathur said, and they moved uphill and claimed the essence of another Ursadon Matriarch. Upon nearing the next Protoss base they heard Izsha speak to them.

"The flash freeze storm will end soon. You should burrow until the next flash freeze storm. Then you can continue your attack." Izsha suggested, they burrowed and began to wait for the next flash freeze.

Spike watched the distant Hatchery and could barely make out the shapes of several Zerg and Kerrigan, but what worried him was that Twilight and the others hadn't returned. Each time a flash freeze hit the Leviathan would close its mouth, when Izsha wished, to protect Spike. Zagara was close by and had been asking many questions about not only his pat, but the past of his friends as well.

"So those artifacts that were fused with them are known as what?" Zagara asked, showing a true and genuine interest in their previous lives.

"They're called the Elements of Harmony. They amplify the power of their friendship and use them to protect Equestria." Spike replied, but this only seemed to confuse Zagara.

"So they were weapons? Used to destroy your world's enemies?" Zagara asked, but Spike shook his head.

"They were only used in emergencies, like when Nightmare Moon attacked or when Discord broke free." Spike explained.

"You have mentioned these two before and told me much about them. However I doubt they could defeat the Swarm." Zagara said, which had began to annoy Spike. Zagara seemed to compare everything to the Swarm and nothing was better than it.

The Leviathan began to close its mouth, and they knew that a flash freeze storm approached.

---

Twilight was the first to unburrow, and the others followed, before charging into the frozen Protoss base and attacking. They eventually destroyed the second Psi-Link Spire and killed the final Ursadon Matriarch. Then the flash freeze storm began to end, so they burrowed. However the Protoss were unaware and continued to assault the Hive Cluster which Kerrigan was able to protect. Another storm began which allowed them to attack the final Spire and destroy it. The Protoss were cripples, now unable to contact Shakuras they would have to find another way to get home.

Kerrigan and the Mane Six reentered the Leviathan, only to see a female Protoss being held in a strange mound of flesh.

"We captured a prisoner in the wastes. She says she is a researcher." Izsha informed, but this confused Kerrigan.

"I never ordered you to take prisoners." She said, before Izsha began to explain.

"Abathur requested it. He wants to dissect her." Izsha said, which disgusted Spike.

"Why would he want to do that? From what Zagara's told me Protoss can't be used by the Zerg." Spike said, which surprised Twilight.

"He likes to try." Izsha replied, but Kerrigan looked at the Protoss and an idea came to mind.

"Actually, keep her around, she might be useful." Kerrigan said, before moving to the Protoss. The Protoss struggled and tried to wiggle out of the flesh that held her in place, but she could not escape it.

"What are your people doing here?" Kerrigan asked, and the Protoss began to explain.

"We study this moon to see if its rotation can be altered, its climate improved. Do you understand? We are only colonists and you are killing us." She said, leaning forward, but the ponies and Spike were amazed at how it could speak without a mouth, for they had not seen the Expedition Leader.

"Yes, and if I let you live then you will call your Golden Armada and they will kill me." Kerrigan argued, but the Protoss seemed offended by this statement.

"Kill thousands just to save yourself? Is that how you justify this!?" She asked, now furious.

"I justify nothing. Your people have killed billions of Zerg. There is blood on both our hands." Kerrigan replied, before she turned and began to walk away. Spike looked at her and the Protoss seemed interested in them.

"I have never seen Zerg like you before. You do not seem hostile." She said, which made them smile.

"We just follow our Queens will. We were taken from our homes by the old Queen of Blades. Then we were made Zerg. We were scared at first, but then we came to accept this. We were special... We retained our ability to express thoughts and emotions... Beyond random anger and destruction that is..." Twilight explained, but then the Protoss turned her attention to Spike.

"You are not Zerg. Why are you here?" She asked, and he scratched the back of his head.

"I was taken to be used for their experiments... But Twilight helped me get released. I've known her all my life. Even though she's now a Zerg, I still care about her and all my friends." Spike answered. They had to leave for the Queen summoned them.
