Ch. 5 - Revelation

--Broodmother Vishaya POV--

We were discussing what we need to do when we heard a loud explosion. We then scurried to a higher location to see it. We also sent some Mutualisks to confirm what happened. Broodmother Kilysa then flew up and tried to get a better view.

"I see Xylenxir! It seems that she is running. I saw her shot some bone spikes but I am not sure why. Behind her is a large number of her Brood." informed Kilysa.

"It's impossible for that bitch to run away! Check to see if she is either trying to catch something or really running away from something." demanded Stukov he then pointed to Naktul. "Naktul & my Brood will meet with Xylenxir's. The rest of you try to-"

"She is chasing a Nezarim! The Nezarim is heavily injured but is still running away from her." shouted Kilysa.

"-rescue that Nezarim and try to take down Xylenxir!" continued Stukov.

"A wonderful decision. My Brood have been alerted since we are the nearest. We are swarming the battle-able broods and they are approaching fast. In a few minutes we can start the battle." spoke Ryloth.

"Then lets move. My infested Terrans are now being transported. We don't need to waste time. If Xylenxir proves too difficult to kill then move out. The priority is the rescue of the Nezarim!" commanded Stukov.

The other Broodmothers then marched to battle leaving me and Zagara behind.

"Broodmother Zagara. What do we do?" I asked.

"We can only hope that the Nezarim gets rescued and provide us intel about our current situation. We cannot send our Brood either. This is to make sure that atleast one of us survives and we can still bring peace to the Zerg." replied Broodmother Zagara.

--Protoss Nerazim in contact to the Overqueen POV--

Running away from Xylenxir proved difficult. Every time I slowed down and make a turn, a bone spike is shot to my location. I fished a round object from my bag I was carrying and pressed down a button. Afterwards I threw it a little bit behind just in the way of the Broodmother. I then pulled up another round object and pressed the button and I hit it in my chest.

After the round object hit my chest, it then deployed a translucent blue shield around me. The Broodmother who chased me looked puzzled. I then blinked away from the location. Just as the transfer happened a large explosion was then heard. I never stopped to looked what damage I have done. A few seconds a powerful shockwave then emerged. I was push by the shockwave by around thirty or so meters and the translucent shield then broke absorbing the impact. I stood up groggily and as I was about to lean on a rock I saw several bone spikes shot at my general direction. It seems she won't let me rest. I turned around then ran again.

After a few minutes and additional wounds later, I heard the screeching of Mutualisks. It's over. I'm done for. I then saw a Viper in the distance accompanied by several Mutualisks. The Viper then extended its long tongue and due to exhaustion I was not able to dodge it. I guess I am meeting Adun now. I closed my eyes and prepared myself for a world of pain. If I have a regret in this life then it is because I was not able to complete my objective before I died.

"Stand strong Nezarim, you haven't met Adun yet. Not right now atleast."

I opened my eyes and I saw Broodmother Ryloth. I then inspected my body. From what I heard, the Zerg and Protoss are sworn enemies. If one or the other finds each other on any place, it will always result in the death of one another. It feels weird that I am comforted by what we considered before was the enemy of our race.

"I am carrying you back to Broodmother Zagara. Currently, Stukov's and Naktul's Brood are stopping Xylenxir's Brood from supporting Xylenxir while the rest except for Vishaya and Zagara are trying to kill Xylenxir while she is far from her brood. My primary objective is to get you safe but I will be joining them afterwards." explained Ryloth.

"I see. We better go back fast. I bring crucial information on what Xylenxir is doing." I replied.

"Then hold on tight, Son of Adun." Ryloth then sped back to Zagara.

--Broodmother Vishaya POV--

While Broodmother Zagara waited inside the chamber, I went out to see what was happening. With my sharp vision, I was able to see Broodmother Ryloth speeding up heading to our direction. Ah! She rescued the Nezarim! I then headed to Broodmother Zagara's location.

"Broodmother Zagara! Ryloth has rescued the Nezarim! She is on her way here!" I spoke happily.

"Very well, I will go and meet up with Ryloth and our Nezarim guest."

A few minutes later, we both saw Ryloth enter the chamber we are in.

"I have brought the Nezarim Broodmother Zagara." Ryloth then placed the wounded Nezarim on the space that was provided. The Nezarim Ryloth rescued then tried to stand on his wounded legs.

"Stay down, Son of Adun. You are wounded." Broodmother Zagara comforted the Nezarim.

"Overqueen Zagara, Xylenxir she, I mean. The Broodmother-"

"Be at peace, Son of Adun. Calm yourself first." I spoke to the Nezarim.

The Protoss then paused a bit and sat down.

"Thank you, Broodmother Vishaya. Now back to the topic, Broodmother Xylenxir is trying to recreate the Overmind once again. My team got killed trying to let me escape and deliver this information to you and if possible to the Daelaam." spoke the Nezarim.

"Overmind? What is that?" I asked. I was born a 2 millennia ago unlike the other Broodmothers who was present and even was active before the Great War. "Broodmother Zagara? Are you okay?"

"This isn't possible. Son of Adun, are you certain of this information. If you are lying to me I do not mind killing you right now." howled Broodmother Zagara.

"In my honor and I swear in the name of Adun I am not lying." The Nezarim spoke solemly.

"Then, lead us to the place where the Overmind is being created. I will end it all." Broodmother Zagara's eyes then glowed red and killing intent filled her gaze.
