The three rulersby TerraTossAZergChaptersThe new leadersThe new arrivalThe day of renewalThe day of renewal ( Executor's dream )When funny men go serious, but goes back being complete jerks...The Benny Hill conspiracy. The new leadersMy name is Jonathan... ‘was’ Jonathan. ARGH! I don’t know! All I was doing, was replaying some bits of campaign on Starcraft two! Then I suddenly get transferred here as an hierarchically zerg leader! I wasn’t born, prepared or mentally sane to become a leader like *SNAP* that! I was just your regular old geek playing some video games! And worst of all in the show My little pony! How do I know MLP? Well, let’s just say I was a closet brony and leave it at that, kay? Anyway, I bet you're asking how I know that I was a leader. Well...! Let’s just say a cerebrate kept calling me ‘Master’ or ‘Overmind’ and the constant zerg following me. The cerebrate Lerorinesco, which I will be calling Lero, said that he was ‘my’ advisor. He also said that I had an evolution master, good thing i saw the trailer and the HoTS panel on BlizzCon. The evolution master was named Herecto and was well trained in the art of evolution. He’s already started a few projects while I was playing SC. Anyways, Lero said the only way I can control the ‘swarm’ was to morph into an overmind. Now let me get this straight, I can morph back to human form and overmind at will, but morphing takes time and is quite a gruesome sight. But, I found my cons and pros and got the hang of it. Controlling the zerg swarm was like an extra appendage. It felt natural. I can have a bird’s eye view of a field that I want (like SC but without the fog of war) or I can look directly at one of my units and take control of it. Lero kept looking at me like a mother would when she finds her kids doing something new but not appreciating it. To put it simply, he looked both annoyed and confused. Herec wasn’t much a problem, he knew where I was and found it comical watching an overmind using his tricks on square one and getting a hang of it. To put it simply, he was happy and kept laughing his ass of when I accidently blew up banelings. Both Lero and Herec were good lads, and were helping me out whenever I hit a dead end or was just looking for more advance or basic shtick. This was going to be a heck of a day.... ===================================================================== Rainbow Dash was having a nap nearby the Everfree forest, but far enough so that no monsters would get to her when she was asleep, you know high and mighty and all? Anyway, she was suddenly woken up by a louder explosion then the ones she kept hearing. She thought they were some of Pinkie’s firework going off for a new pony in town or a party. But, this explosion sounded different and off. First she would hearing the bang then hear a small ‘Tssshhh’ afterwards. Not to mention she kept hearing them in the Everfree. So the only sane thing should would do, was head off to Twilight to see if it was Equestria normal, Everfree normal or abnormal. But she went with the opposite. She flew straight towards the Everfree forest in search of the banging ‘TSSSHHs’. She was expecting Pinkie or Zecora doing something new, “but Pinkie would never go inside the Everfree, even if she sang the Giggle at the Ghostly!” she thought to herself, putting a forehoof on her chin. “But, Zecora wouldn’t go deeper into the Everfree either just to test something out, she’s Zecora after all!” and sped off into the depths of the Everfree. What she found shock her to the core of her being and ethereal being. What she found was a grotesque being made of flesh and shell. And was looking at her with it’s one giant eye. But what she also found was there was another thing that was made of flesh but was smaller, and looked like a larvae which was spewing some green liquid that resembled vomit. She fell under blackness, and the last thing she saw was an insect being that bore fangs carrying her towards somewhere before welcoming the darkness. ===================================================================== I was talking to Lero about some of the more advance control before I heard something land on the ground a few feet away from me. What I saw was Rainbow Dash, she looked shock, terrified, angry and confused. Her mouth was agape, her eyes showing her true emotions and her body shivering from a combat of fear and anger. And then blacked out. I would have laugh my ass off, but thought against it. She blacked out, out of fear. I took control of one of the zerglings and picked her up. I looked around if there were roaches or infestor who could bring her to Fluttershy’s cottage or Ponyville. I found an infestor and immediately took control of it and dashed towards the butter creamed pegasus’s cottage. When I reached her cottage, as an infestor mind you, I was greeted with the sight of the mane 6 (minus Dash and Shy) at the front porch of the cottage. They awaited impatiently for the buttercream pegasus to answer. Feeling the need to relieve the tension, I spit out Rainbow Dash out of my egg thingy on my back. The girls looked behind to find Rainbow Dash shivering. Twilight ran towards her, followed by Pinkie Pie, AJ and Rarity. Suddenly the door of the cottage opened up to reveal the shy pegasus. She looked towards the group before widening her eyes and dashing inside again. She came back with a first aid kit and flew hastily towards the cyan pegasus for any injuries. She sighed of relief and said “It’s okay girls. She only blacked out over something, but Rainbow never blacks out over anything!” The mares nodded and looked at the forest with fear, lots of fear, I could smell and taste it! “We should bring her to the hospital, I don’t think whatever scared Dash wants her away from the forest.” stated Twilight, receiving nods and ‘Yeses’ from her friends. AJ volunteered to carry Rainbow, while Pinkie and Rarity flanked her with Fluttershy and Twilight at both ends. I smiled at their formation and left. “Hopefully this will all blow over, at least nothing bad happened today!” ===================================================================== When the girls reached the hospital, they put Dash on emergency. Everypony in Ponyville knew that Dash was the bravest and courageous pony in town. So whatever made her blackout, out of fright scared everypony who knew of the incident. Five hours later, and the doctors said that they can visit Dash since she’s awake. All five mares dashed towards the room 457 and slamming the door open. Receiving a groan from a cyan pony. “Dashie are you alright!?” shouted Pinkie, receiving another groan from the tomboyish pegasus which she quietly apologized. “It’s alright Pinks! I had a rough day...” Rainbow said jokingly, receiving little giggles from the mares. “So Rainbow, how did you blackout of fear?” asked Twilight. She knew Rainbow Dash read a few books of mythological and legendary beings ones in a while whenever a new Daring Do novel appears. Rainbow looked at the lavender unicorn before widening her eyes in fear. She remembered the scene vividly. She then morphed her fear into confusion. The girls found it strange. “Uh, Dash what’s got you thinking?” asked the lavender pony. “Honestly I don’t know Twi. All I was doing was napping near the Everfree forest before hearing some loud bangs coming from the forest.” the girls looked at Twilight for help, which she shrugged it off and gestured Dash to continue. “Anyway, when I heard a louder bang. I decided that I had enough and went inside the forest to investigate.” Twilight narrowed her eyes towards Dash “Why didn’t you come ask one of us for help, you know how dangerous the Everfree can get!” she scolded. “I know, I know, but. It’s just that, I wasn’t thinking straight. I was hearing those bangs from the forest and thought it was Pinkie or Zecora doing something!” Rainbow defended. “Okay, can you continue where you left off?” asked Twilight, un-narrowing her eyes. “Anyway, when I left to investigate. I found the scariest thing you can ever imagine!” she lifted both her hooves to emphasize her point, receiving gasp from the group. “It was huge, ugly and fleshy! It had these giant eyeball that stared at me! There was another one too but it was smaller and looked like a larvae! I felt like I was falling apart from shivering before falling over. Last thing I remember was being picked up by something that looked like a changeling but way different!” she finished. She looked at the group of friends, they were showing looks of fear, confusion, skepticism, concern and disgust. “Dash are you sure that’s what you saw?” asked Twilight, getting glares from three mares. She shied away for a while before saying “It’s just that what you say doesn’t exist, or shouldn’t exist! I say she ran towards the Everfree saw an Ursa major and blacked out.” she said smugly, getting a small air of relief from the three mares. “One, I saw them in a clearing. Two, how can I mistook a giant eyeball? Three, there was a larvae clear as day beside it. Four, what could have brought me here or wherever you found me if it was an Ursa? Five, I already saw the image of an Ursa major and laughed at it! Six, what could have made those banging noises?” The four mares stared at Rainbow, removing skepticism from Twilight and replacing it with fear. The three mares looked at Twilight for help and didn’t receive any. “I can explain if you want” said an unfamiliar stallion voice. Everpony turned their attention to a tall creature leaning against the wall. The figure smiled and stood there. It whistled and the creature that fit Rainbow’s description came in. Rainbow stared at it, while the four mares slacked jawed at it. The figure’s smile grew larger and walked straight to Dash. The mares didn’t take too kindly of the act and made a defensive pose. The figure’s eyebrow grew before shrugging off and continued post haste. The small creature growled at the mares making them break their pose and huddled closely to each other. The figure arrived to his destination and whispered something to her ear. Rainbow’s eyes widened before jumping out of the bed sheets and ran towards the bathroom. It laughed at the comical moment before glancing towards the mare’s confused look. It shrugged and headed back towards the forest. ===================================================================== I watched as the tall thing walked towards me and the little creature growl at my friends, I waited for it to do something but instead whispered to my ears “The zergling, that little creature, didn’t actually carry you. You were carried to your friend’s cottage inside an infestor’s pouch. And when I mean pouch I mean egg, and you were spitted out.” My eyes widened, I placed a hoof on my mouth and ran straight towards the bathroom. ===================================================================== Twilight and the girls kept staring at the figuring who was suddenly heading towards the door to leave. It took a small ounce of willpower for Twilight to say something “Who are you?” she said, making the mares glare at her but it was too late. The figure stopped and look at the lavender pony “I am the overmind, I control the zerg swarm with the help of Lero and Herec. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m still trying to know how to control the swarm.” he said simply, then left the mare to think. “Overmind? What does he mean by overmind? Overmind like taking control of things? Is he evil, no he brought back Rainbow to us. ARGH! I must take a letter to the princess!” The overmind came back but with a scowl and said “And Twilight, I highly recommend you to send a letter. Now I will take my leave, ta ta!” It left with the creature in tow. The mares de-huddled themselves to find Rainbow, but she came back shortly after their de-huddle. Rainbow looked... clean. The girls shrugged it off but left Twilight thinking on her own. The doctor came in and said that Rainbow can leave but “You have to steer clear of the Everfree. Whatever scared you might still be there so is suggest not going there for a few weeks for the fear to subside.” and left. Everypony said their goodbyes and went off to their daily lives. Twilight however was not off to her daily life. She was researching and researching. But once she hit a dead end, she asked Spike to take a letter. “ Dear Princess Celestia. Today we found Rainbow shivering and unconscious near Fluttershy’s cottage. She recovered when we sent her to the hospital and told us how she blacked out. She told us she saw a large fleshy being and it’s giant eye stared right at her. She also said that there was a smaller one that resembles a larvae. When she lost consciousness the last thing she saw was a creature that bore insectoid wings, a carapace, fangs and was roughly the same height and diameter as a grown mare. The creature showed itself to us with another figure named “The Overmind” he was friendly to us but I wonder his true intentions. It whispered something to Rainbow that made her fly out of the room and come back clean when it left. It also told me to send a letter after I thought about it! I don’t know if he’s evil or a threat to Equestria! I haven’t seen the large being that Rainbow described but the creature that picked her up was here! Please send a reply, I don’t know what to do! Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle. “ Spike inhaled and blew the letter in a green flame, and transformed the letter into a magical dust. Shortly after Spike sent the letter, princess Celestia herself came inside the library with a platoon of Royal guards. “Twilight, where was the disturbance located!” she ordered, leaving the once motherly tone into that of a monarch. “The Everfree forest princess, but I don’t know where exactly! I think asking Rainbow would be best.” Twilight said, receiving a nod from the princess and ordered the guard to secure a perimeter of the forest. Rainbow appeared shortly after the guard started to form a perimeter, she asked the princess what was going on “The overmind is that of pure evil! It want’s nothing but to conquer and to exterminate races in a quick and gruesome way! It controls the zerg, an insectoid race that evolves in a flash. They are quick but weak. But they evolve to become stronger and stronger until the either them or the enemy is dead.” she said darkly, receiving a gasp from the lavender mare. Rainbow wasn’t impressed and said simply “If the overminds only goal is to take over the world and do total genocide, why isn’t it doing it now? I saw him and his larvae thing and they carried me over to Fluttershy’s cottage! Not to mention he showed up with one of the zerglings to prove that I wasn’t making things up!” Celestia scowled at Rainbow, which she narrowed her eyes “The overmind is deceptive and cruel, he is using your safety as a tool. He exploits it when we're weak when we think we’re safe and sound! The zerg are mindless creature that want nothing but to serve the overmind and the swarm!” Rainbow raised an eyebrow at Celestia and said “How do you know all this? The fact that one of them came to me, growled at Twilight and my friends when they wanted to hurt it. And carried me to Fluttershy’s cottage means they aren’t mindless creatures. And how don’t we know the zerg from any of the books or the archive! Twilight should have known what they are if the files existed! Your judging something from the cover and not the book!” then left to the Everfree forest. The guards started to seize her, but was unsuccessful. The princess and the librarian took haste and started to follow her into the forest but was unsuccessful as well. The opening was guarded by one of the zerg but was more taller than the ones they saw. It looked serpentine, it had fangs and claws. “A hydralisk!” thought Celestia. She knew the zerg from the protoss when Equestria started showing signs of infection. “These ones look far different when I first met them!” she started to cast a spell but was unsuccessful. She looked at her horn to find it sealed by something. It was green in colored but what struck her the most is that it also hit her guards and left them struggling. ===================================================================== I was having a lovely time learning from Lero and Herec! I learned how to evolve my units much quicker, and learned how to control multiple beings when I want to. I also learned how to control them at a bird’s eye view, you know having the giant eye and all. Anyway, my fun was cut short by a cyan pegasus. She didn’t look frightened like the last time we saw but I didn’t complain. “Princess Celestia thinks you’re evil and sent out a platoon of Royal guards and herself to exterminate you!” she said, panting heavily from being chased. “Well I think she isn’t much different from the old us. She thinks we're here to exterminate her little ponies, while she want’s to exterminate the zerg fully. She isn’t much different from a tyrant, and she isn’t looking at the book but at the cover!” “That’s what I said! I said that she was judging by the cover and not the book!” “Okay Dash, listen closely. I’m sending out these hydralisk to guard the entrance. I’m going to send out a patrol of ultralisks, zerglings, overseers and roaches inside the forest. Can you get back to Celestia on my signal?” she looked at me then nodded while I sent my swarm to patrol the forest. Satisfied, I signaled Dash to get back to the princess and left off my counter plan to work. ===================================================================== “Those are hydralisk, do not go near them! They can easily tear you apart or spit out spikes if you get near their range!” Celestia was shouting orders and descriptions of these creature. “Rainbow was right, how does she know about these and not leave any records in the library or archives! And she said that the Overmind was one of pure evil, why didn’t it attack us when it can with these things at his disposal! And why isn’t there any trace of the overmind in Equestria?” she thought to herself before seeing a cyan pegasus coming her way. Rainbow looked smug and happy, while Celestia scowled and glared at her. But Twilight was just happy to see her. She started to walk towards her and said “Don’t worry, I warned it and he’s prepared for an attack. He’s already sent out patrols.” Twilight sighed of relief, she glanced towards Celestia who was ordering the guards with haste. “Should we send a letter to Luna?” shortly after she said that, something came out of the ground in between Twilight and Rainbow. It had multiple eyes and looked armored completely. Twilight jumped while Rainbow just stood there like nothing happened. The creature had something in it’s mouth and gave it to Twilight. She took it cautiously while Rainbow just waits patiently. It was a scroll and it was in good conditions considering it was in it’s mouth. She opened it and read “ You should send a letter to Luna. She is the co-ruler of Equestria, and Celestia is taking things on her own accord. This is a violation of both parties considering Equestria is a diarch country. “ Twilight gave it to Rainbow, she denied politely “Shouldn’t we go see Spike for the letter?” she asked, Twilight nodded and headed off to the library. The roach left shortly after their departure and went off to the Everfree to resume it’s patrol. When they reached the library they were greeted with the sight of the four remaining mares. They were sitting casually but bore worried expressions. When they heard the door opening they smiled when they saw Twilight and Rainbow. “Spike take a letter to princess Luna SAP!” he saluted and went off to grab his quill and parchment. The mares looked at Twilight and Rainbow with a more worried expressions. “Twi, was going on at the forest? Ah would like ta know what the fuse is about!” Twilight ignored the cowmare which left Rainbow to answer. “Princess Celestia is judging the overmind because she thinks he’s the old one that wanted to rule the galaxy or some shtick.” Applejack didn’t take kindly to that and said “What do ya mean rule the galaxy?” Rainbow scowled at Applejack making the already uncomfortable air hostile. “He stopped his lesson on learning how to use his powers properly, he sent out a patrol inside the forest to protect himself. He asked Twi to send a letter to Princess Luna because all of what Celestia is doing is wrong! She and Luna are the co-rulers of Equestria, and Celestia went off on her own!” The mares didn’t take kindly to the information they were digesting. They heard something outside that sounded like a small earthquake. Rainbow and Twilight knew the sound and raised their eyebrow. The mares however don’t know the sound and huddled closely to each other. “Okay Twilight I got the quill and paper ready!” the lavender pony smiled and gestured Rainbow to open the door for their ‘guest’. “Dear Princess Luna I am writing to you, because princess Celestia hasn’t informed you about the disturbance in the Everfree forest. I think as both of you are co-rulers you should take what you think is a major threat together and not alone. Princess Celestia has taking in on her own accord to eliminate somepony who saved Rainbow and hadn’t done anything that would make it a threat. Princess Celestia says that it is something called the ‘Overmind’ and that it’s sole goal is to eliminate any races and to conquer all. What I see, is that Princess Celestia isn’t judging by the book but by the cover. The overmind hasn’t done anything to harm or any signs that it is a threat. Rainbow says that the overmind that Celestia is trying to eliminate is a new overmind trying to test his new found powers. Rainbow said that princess Celestia interrupted his lesson on how to control his swarm and had to take measures to protect himself. The overmind has also asked if I could send a letter to you, which I gladly took. Please reply, or come to the Everfree and stop princess Celestia. I don’t want to lose a friend, or a new race at that. I want to study the zerg and see if they are what Celestia think they are. A mindless race that want nothing but to serve the overmind and the swarm. Your friend Twilight Sparkle. “ Spike blew the parchment, transforming it into the all familiar dust. They waited patiently before princess Luna and her platoon of Lunar guard appeared outside of the library. She smiled at the sight of Twilight and gestured them to follow her. “Princess do you know what the zerg is? There aren’t any records or traces of them ever being here, and I would like to know where I can find anything that might or might not be recorded.” The princess frowned and said “I’m afraid I do not know what these ‘zerg’ are. But Celestia acting on her own accord isn’t to be left unpunished. She should have ask me for my approval as we are both co-rulers like you said in your letter.” Twilight smiled “I see that you're taking a great pace of changing from the old Canterlot!” The princess smile returned and went off towards the Everfree forest. When princess Luna saw the hydralisk guarding the entrance, she started to question whether or not Celestia might be right. But when the hydralisk caught the sight of Luna they bowed and left casually. Luna was staring at them slack jawed. “They bowed to me, and left on their own!” she thought. Twilight took her out of her trance and pointed towards Celestia. “Celestia what are you doing on your own accord!” shouted Luna. Celestia looked behind her to find the scowl of Luna and her student next to her. “I am doing Equestria a favor by taking away the overmind and the zerg once and for all!” she stated darkly. “The hydralisk left the opening full on charge!” ordered Celestia, but they didn’t budge. She stared at them before realizing they were staring at something out of fear. She turned her head towards where they were staring to find a platoon of brood lords above Luna and her platoon. Luna looked above her to find the platoon stationed there and looking towards Celestia’s Solar platoon ready to fire. Luna awaited for her sister to surrender and stop. But a roach unburrowed in front of Twilight and gave another scroll to her. Both princesses look at Twilight who took the scroll, read it and giving it back casually. “The overmind says you have control over the brood lords for a while.” and retook her position. The roach burrowed and went off to patrol inside the forest again. Princess Celestia looked furious while Luna had a smug look. “Celestia stand down, the overmind sent Twilight the letter to inform me that I had control over these brood lords for a short while. Now if things get heinous I would have no choice but to let them attack you, because your arrogance and ignorance of knowing the full picture!” Celestia had no choice, her platoon would fall under both brood lord and lunar platoons. But more importantly, Twilight, Luna and Rainbow had sided with the zerg swarm. “No, you, Twilight and Rainbow were corrupted by the overmi...” “Celestia I can’t be corrupted because you saw me coming here on my own, and you were keeping guard of Twilight so she can’t be a candidate. Rainbow, I didn’t see anything out of the norm since she is the bearer of Loyalty.” Celestia wanted to retort but couldn't because of the sudden appearance of the overmind on the meadow. What Rainbow described of the overmind was correct in every way. Large fleshy and had a giant eyeball and the larvae was beside it like she said. “Bravo Luna Bravo! I say you would make a better monarch than Celestia considering she had to live with the guilt of sending you to the moon and the constant political jazz. She is currently unstable in my eyes, I say give her a break and take responsibility as the co-ruler and go to her when needed or if you seek advice.” The overmind had a sincere look in his eyes. Luna smiled while Celestia was preparing a spell to eliminate it. “Celestia might I remind you that if you kill me right on the spot the zerg swarm will have to go on a rampage, not to mention what you will do will cause more damage than good. Stand down or I will make you stand down!” But Celestia ignored it completely and charged her spell. The overmind shrugged it off and unburrowed a spine crawler and incapacitated Celestia and blocking off her magic. The ponies gathered around saw their mighty ruler taken down by a mere tentacle. “Now, Luna if you be as to kindly escort our guest to her quarters. I still have much to learn and I have to ask if i could have permission to construct my hive inside the Everfree forest?” She thought for a while before nodding in agreement. “You can construct your hive in the Everfree. Though it isn’t part of Equestria you can fully take control of the forest if you’d like.” “You're too kind! Hey, about I let you gals take a look at the swarm. I can let Twilight talk with Lero. Rainbow with Herec and you can talk to me whenever you want princess!” She smiled, Twilight beamed and Rainbow hoof pumped the air. “Whelp, you two can come with me. I got a nydus worm ready for you. Luna I hope you can escort our guest as is or do you want your Lunar guard to escort her?” “No, I think we need her subdued as is. Can you let me control it so that we can easily transport her?” “Of course! I will have to retake control of my brood lords. But I will let you control a few mutalisk and corruptors to use as escorts. And they can patrol the perimeter of your sister’s tower.” She ‘ooh’d’ in awe. “Well that is quite useful. I hope I can convince my sister to form an alliance with your swarm.” she smiled genuinely, which the overmind returned happily. “Yes, princess let’s! Oh and can you inform Equestria of our presence. I know some may not take this lightly because of the changeling invasion and how we look. Now off ya go! Oh and have a few overseers and overlords to transport your platoon. Their like chariots but more efficient, and they can breath in space!” “Of course, and I really think my sister misunderstood you. Youre so friendly and welcoming, you trust us to even have a few of your kind to lend even for a while. And one more question.” “Yes?” “Are your swarm just mindless to serve you and the swarm?” she asked, making me think for a while. “Honestly, I don’t know. Ask Lero here, I just got my powers three days ago. But my honest opinion, I can create my swarm to have mind of their own but still obey me, so no their not mindless and the ones I have now aren’t completely mindless. They serve yes, but they also care. When they saw Rainbow black out they started to ask permission to help her, which I gladly gave.” She sighed, and gave a satisfied look. She thanked them and left with the mutalisk, corrupter, overseer and overlord escorting them. The overmind smiled inside, then looked at the two mares who were still here beaming with excitement. “Now girls. Lero is a cerebrate, one of the commander the previous overmind created. Herec is the evolution master, he specializes in evolving the swarm like no other. Now off you go to the nydus canal you go!” The overmind and Lero burrowed off towards the forest while the girls cautiously moved towards the mouth of the nydus worm. When they got to the clearing. Lero was waiting for them patiently and started to inform us about the swarm and how it works. Twilight was a little depressed that she didn’t bring something to take notes, but beggars can’t be choosers. ===================================================================== I was learning from Herec while Lero informs Twilight and Rainbow about the swarm. Since Luna gave me the O.K and the right of the forest, I can finally start the hive. I had some zerglings scout for any minerals and found a bunch in the mountain and the general area. I built hives where there were a large sum of minerals and continued to build more structures. I had some overseers to find some vespene gas while I was building. My swarm was growing by the minute. For the vespene, they were scattered everywhere. I had to use nydus worms to make mining more efficient. I’ve already evolved my main hive to a lair and was gaining more larva thanks to the queens i had stationed nearby. Rainbow and Twilight were still talking with Lero but I didn't mind. I asked Herec if he can create some units from scratch and was rewarded with a simple ‘yes’. Creating a unit from scratch is fairly easy for us zergs, because we either improve upon already existing units or we improve on non-zerg units which helps us completely. But creating one from square one is a little difficult, but possible nonetheless. When Twilight and Rainbow were done ‘chatting’ with Lero. They started to talk with Herec. He didn’t mind much but excused himself because of some ‘certain’ project. They didn’t mind, and decided to talk to me instead. “Hey, do you have a name instead of just ‘overmind’? Because, I would rather say my friends name instead of just the title.” Rainbow asked, I beamed at her before my eyes changed to look at the ground. “I don’t really have a name right now...” I said sadly, Rainbow frowned but beamed enthusiastically and said “How about me,the girls and princess Luna give you a named? Better off with a name than just ‘overmind’ “. I beamed at the idea of the mane six and princess Luna giving me a name. “Deal!” She smiled and went off towards Ponyville. Twilight was staying though observing the swarms work, structure and unit. I morphed back into a human and walked towards her. She looked behind to find me and smiled, then gestured to sit next to her. “So Twilight, how’s the hive doing so far?” I asked, getting a smile from her. “Well, I can honestly say that this is better than any ant colony I know of.” she said jokingly, I smiled at her enthusiasm to learn. “Well, Twi got any questions for me?” she smiled and nodded vigorously. “Okay, okay. Slow down cowgirl, what did you want to ask me first?” “Well I just wanted to know about you and about all this. I heard Lero talking about the swarm’s history but I like to know more than just history.” I nodded and started to tell my tale. She was shocked at first but understood on how I know how to operate the hive without me interfering. I then told her about the zerg’s structure in general, whcih she appreciated. After a long course of questions I was left with a large, and large, sum of minerals and vespene. “Tomorrow is going to be a great day!” I thought enthusiastically. Tomorrow we get to see more.... ===================================================================== Earth Chicago Time 14:50,20 I was playing a silver match on Starcraft and was winning rapidly. I was playing as protoss while my opponent was a terran. He was struggling to say the least but was keeping up fairly quickly. When we reached the mid game time, I sent all my combat unit to his bases one by one. He didn’t have any defense but a bunker and a few missile turrets. I won the game as per usual. I typed ‘GG’ which he returned kindly. I turned off my game and headed for bed, but... I suddenly felt darkness consuming me and blacked out. ===================================================================== I wake up on board something. I recognized the color of yellow on the walls and ceiling and I was laying on something comfortable. I got up and felt that my whole body had changed. I found a mirror on the far side of the room and decided to see if my theory was correct. When I got off of bed, I instantly felt my legs changing. I felt higher, stronger and more intelligent. But i couldn’t feel my mouth. I could breath, but I didn’t have a mouth. I walked hastily towards the mirror to find that I changed into a protoss. I had clothing that resembles that of an executor. It was yellow like any other protoss uniform but looked a little egyptian. The door opened with a small “Tssh” and came in a praetor. He looked at me before nodding and headed back outside. I sighed and looked around my room. It was fairly large. The cabinet was beside the door, the bathroom was on the left side of the bed with a nightstand on the right. There was a desk, which was fully stocked and a few decors on the walls. I then decided to head outside. The praetor was waiting for me, he looked at me before gesturing me to follow him. “En taro Tassadar executor, I hope that you were briefed about the new infestation of the zerg.” “I’m afraid that I wasn’t informed. We have the time praetor, what’s the situation?” He nodded and resumed walking “The zerg has infested on Equis a land of multi-colored equine, griffons, canine and large reptile. Our sensors indicate a new Overmind.” he said darkly. “The overmind is creating his hive in secret. He is forming his swarm inside a well sheltered forest and hasn’t made contact with the locals yet.” I raised an eyebrow and said “May we send some observers in Equis, praetor. I believe I have a small suspicions that I have seen this planet.” He nodded “Already done executor. The deck is near may we proceed?” I nodded and entered the door. I found the deck surprising and awe inspiring. It was beautiful. A large glass window showed the planet completely. The deck was busy with cybernetics and drones flowing. I smiled and headed off to the main dashboard. “Praetor, I would like to see what the observer sees.” He nodded and pressed a few switches and a screen came in to view. I stared slack jawed at the sight. “It looks exactly like My little pony. Why would the overmind infest.....” I then suddenly realized something... “The overmind is a brony... like me...” I then proceeded to facepalm, receiving a confused look from the praetor. “Praetor.... send down a warp prism. I believe my theory is correct, and a new one has resurfaced. I would like to have escorts and scan the area for any large amount of mineral and vespene.” He looked at me, then proceeded to order the crew. “Today is going to be a heck of a day...” When my escort and the warp prism were on standby, I was teleported from my carrier to the opening of the Everfree forest. I glanced around to find any trace of the zerg, I decided that I want to see the mane six before going inside. “I want a perimeter check everyone, I’m heading out to see if the locals have seen anything suspicious.” They all nodded and went off to secure the area. Ponyville looked exactly like the show, but bigger. I found the library easily, the boutique, bakery and the farm. “Twilight would have notes of suspicious activity. I should go there first.” I then headed off towards the library. Everypony was staring at me to say the least. I was dressed in armor, I was tall and I had no mouth. To say the least they were frightened, confused and curious. When I reached the library I was greeted with a safe haven from all the stares. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rainbow were gathered around the libraries table where the horse statue was usually laid. Rainbow was the first to greet me, scowling at me. Applejack just looked frightened with Fluttershy. Rarity was beaming with excitement, over my attire.... while Pinkie was being Pinkie. “Where is the lavender mare named Twilight Sparkle?” I asked politely. Everypony stared at me, I guess me speaking without a mouth isn’t an everyday occurrence but what can you do? Rainbow was the first to recover and started to scowl harder at me “What do you want with Twilight, huh?” I stared at her and took a step inside “I want to know if there were any strange activity, something involving an insectoid race or something called the overmind.” She stared at me before glaring daggers at me “So you're the protoss Lero was talking about! I won’t tell you where Twilight or the overmind, I won’t let you take him away!” I grabbed my side and started to laugh on the floor. Rainbow started to get very agitated and hesitated to lunge at me. The mares looked confused to some extent. “You thought I was going to take him away?! God I would never thought of that even if it was my mother!” “Wait, so you’re not planning on take him away?” Rainbow asked hesitantly. I smiled at her genuinely and said “Of course, I would never think of it. I just want to meet him!” She smiled, I felt my protoss heart melting “Uhhh.... okay. Follow me I hope he won’t freak out because of you.” “I wouldn’t want that scene to happen either.” When we reached the opening, I asked my zealots for any disturbance. “We hear a few banging noises but nothing serious.” “Good, I want to beat his mineral and vespene depot before he takes it all.” Rainbow started to scowl at me “What do you mean ‘beat his mineral and vespene depot’! I thought you wanted to meet him not to start a fight!” I laughed at her, which made her scowl even more. “Rainbow, when I mean ‘beat’, I want to surpass him in a friendly game of ‘who gets the more resources’ and ‘who gets the last resources’.” She raised an eyebrow before facehoofing. “I won’t understand a single thing you guys play.” “So where is your colt friend at?” I teased her, she blushed intensely “N-n-no! He isn’t my colt friend I SWEAR! We just met!” I started to tease her further “Ever heard of love at first sight?”. My zealot started to join in the laughter, but discretely. She realized that I was teasing her and started to pout. “HHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNGGGG!” Me and my zealots started to resist the urge to hug her adorableness. She stared at us confusingly before showing us the path to the overmind. I stared slack jaw at the biggest hive cluster you will ever see. There was hives nearly everywhere, structures, units everywhere! “Yo zelly what brings you in my humble abode yo!” I looked at the source of the voice to find the overmind with it’s large eyeball. It was on a good hill to watch the hive and control it with ease. “Do you like bananas?” I asked casually. He raised a metaphorical eyebrow before saying “Do you know where I could find them?” “ON THE MOOOOOOOOON!!” we said at the same time, laughing. “So what’s your protoss name, I don’t have one except ‘Overmind’.” “Looks like we have the same problem, I don’t have one except ‘Executor’.” “Shame...” He looked deep in thought before shooting out. “Thats it!” he shouted. “What is?!” “Princess Luna and the mane six can give you a name like me!” he started to morph into something. “Uuuhh... sure, but... What are you doing?” He ignored me and started to bounce happily. I chuckled and went off to calm the boy. “Oi, we’re still in the hive. My zealots are laughing their behinds off and I can see your evolution master and cerebrate laughing too.” He glanced around to find that his comrades were indeed laughing at him. Blushed and smiled sheepishly, and stopped bouncing around. “Good, now how about we head to Canterlot. Oh and where can I find a suitable place to start off a base?” “Well theres a large mineral field up north near Trottingham and a large reservoir of vespene towards the badlands.” “Thanks. Well i’m off to tell my praetor of my suspicions. Oh and how did you get here? I hope it’s the same as mine.” I asked suddenly. “Well how did you get here, I got here when I was replaying some campaign on SC II.” he answered “Mine was more or less the same. I was playing SC II on a silver match and won, went to bed then fell unconscious.” “Allies?” “Allies.” We shook hands and nodded. I left off towards my warp prism and left with my zealots in tow. Tomorrow is going to be a heck of a day. Author's Note Pre-reading done by James M.! The new arrivalThe executor got back to his carrier shortly after leaving the forest. “Executor, have your suspicions been correct?” he turned around to find his praetor waiting. “Yes, praetor. My suspicions were correct. The overmind and I are currently allies. The new overmind has the same intelligence and goal as I and are battling to see who has the biggest economy.” The zealots that were following the executor, laughed discreetly. “Pray tell, executor. I do not understand. How can the zerg possible ally us, even the overmind!” The executor looked at his praetor and smiled “Did I mention that the overmind is completely new on how to control his swarm, and was dragged from his world to lead them?” The praetor thought for a moment before acknowledging his statement. They headed towards the deck and opened the dashboard’s map. “Praetor I would like a base built here and here.” He pointed towards Trottingham and the dragon badlands. “Scan these areas for minerals and construct them there. Also, the overmind currently has a diplomatic relationship with one of the monarchs of Equis. Me and him will try to gain both monarch’s trust to successfully expand without worries.” He nodded, and sets off some beacons on Trottingham and a large area of the dragon badlands. “Executor, how did the overmind receive a diplomatic relationship with the monarchs of Equis? The zergs aren’t the race the most comprehensible.” The executor nodded and headed towards the hangar “Praetor, I will answer your question later. For now create an outpost near the capital and proceed to mine minerals nearby.” The praetor nodded and sets off. “Set a course to the capital. I would like to talk with the monarchs.” a nearby zealot saluted, then sets a course for the warp prism. “The prism is nearby the capital now executor, would you like an escort?” a zealot asked “Correct, I would like four immortals, two archons, two dark templars and five zealots.” “As you command.” he saluted and went off. The executor reached Canterlot with relative ease, a few guards were stationed at the main gate and hasn’t realized his landing. “On me.” the executor ordered, receiving nods and ‘yeses’. He started to march towards the main gate, making the guards stationed unsheath their weapons. “State your business!” one of them ordered. “I am here to talk to either princess Luna or princess Celestia. I mean no harm, but if any of you show any signs of hostility we won’t hesitate.” A few guards gulped, leaving the one who talked without support. “You may proceed. Send a message to princess Luna!” the remaining guards saluted and went off to do their task. The gates opens up to reveal Shining Armor. The executor beamed and extended a hand to him. He was hesitant at first before accepting it. “Evening captain Armor, I believe you are here to escort us to the princess?” the executor asked casually “How can you be so casual at a time like this! Princess Celestia was injured and all you can say is if we're here to escort you!” he stated angrily. “Now, captain Armor. I didn’t have the knowledge of princess Celestia being incapacitated nor is this a casual meeting. Now I need to speak with the princess post haste.” He fumed but escorted us anyways. He gestured my escort to follow and went off towards the castle. The crowd were, to say the least, disgusted... He expected them to beam that another race may be more sophisticated than the commoner. But meh, beggars can’t be choosers. He shrugged them off and continued to walk. When they reached the castle gate, the guards were hesitant but opened anyway. “Captain Armor, are we heading towards their quarters or the dining hall?” he asked, making Shining to turn towards him. “We are heading towards princess Luna’s quarters as to not disturb princess Celestia.” the executor nodded before heading off. A dark templar appeared in front of him and bowed respectfully. “Executor, there appears to be a few corruptors and mutalisks patrolling a tower. Should we destroy them?” “Negative, templar. We are currently allies with the zerg swarm of Equis and I will get an answer from him.” He nodded and went back to the void. The guards were staring at us, before he gestured them to continue. The guards were hesitant but complied. We were nearing a dark blue door with a crescent moon. The executor smiled “Princess Luna’s quarters, if not her cutie mark giving it away I think this might be the lunar barracks.” Shining was the first to approach the door and knocked. “Come in!” came the muffled voice of Luna. Shining nodded towards us, gesturing us to come in first. When the executor entered in Luna was writing on her desk and the room looked like a mess. “Princess Luna, may we speak in a more cleaned environment?” he asked jokingly, she nodded and smiled, then left the unfinished paper on her desk. “Yes, let’s.” “Now, why is that Celestia is incapacitated?” The executor asked, starting the conversation. “Well, she didn’t ask for both me and her permission to head off towards the Everfree forest to take care of a ‘disturbance’.” He nodded and continued to walk. “Is the disturbance perhaps the overmind?” She nodded and stopped on her track. “How do you know about the overmind?” she asked angrily. He shrugged “Maybe it’s because I talked to him.” She sighed and continued to walk. “So what do you want to talk about?” she asked. “Well I wanted to know if I can construct a base here in Equestria on Trottingham and another on the dragon badlands.” she gasped “The dragon badlands? Why would you want to build a base there!” “Don’t worry about us, we can easily take care of ourselves. As for why, there is a big reservoir of vespene gas located there.” We reached the dining hall shortly after. “I understand, and how did your meeting with the overmind went?” she asked curiously. I smiled and giggled a little, making her raise an eyebrow. “It was a very fun experience, we said a joke that only a few people in the galaxy knew and that’s how the meeting went so smoothly.” She smiled, while a waiter came in. “What may I have for you, princess?” she asked patiently. “I would like to have a daisy caesar salad, please.” the waiter looked at the executor before realizing that he didn’t have a mouth. “I would like a glass of water please.” She raised an eyebrow before nodding and heading off to get our respective ‘meals’. “So what was the joke all about?” asked Luna. The executor smiled “Do you like bananas Luna?” She raised an eyebrow and went with it. “I don’t know if I like bananas.” “So you're saying you're a pony that doesn’t know if she likes bananas? I know where you can found out if you don’t know.” “And pray tell, where may that be?” “ON THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN” came out a hydralisk in the most comical under the dining floor. The executor fell out of my chair and grabbed his side laughing. Luna got out of her and started to use the chair as a weapon. His escort stared at the hydralisk in confusion, while the zealots fell and laughed with him, un-discretely. “Yo executor, any idea of who I am?” asked the hydralisk. “No, I don’t. Please enlighten me.” the executor said sarcastically. The hydralisk grinned evilly “I am your worst nightmare BLEHEHEHEHE!” then lunged playfully at the executor. “EEP!” screamed pathetically the executor. The executor’s escort was in disarray, the immortals didn’t know what to do, the archons were trying to stop the zealots from dying of laughter, the dark templars were nowhere to be found. Luna’s guards were laughing, while Shining Armor went in panic mode. The hydralisk was tickling the executor playfully while Luna was still holding the chair. The executor was crying from tears, and the hydralisk decided that he had enough fun for now. “So zelly how’s diplomacy working for ya?” “Can you quit with the accent zergy, and fine until you showed up.” The hydralisk pouted and crossed his claws. The executor laughed at the sight to find one of the galaxies most feared enemy pout like a child. The zealots and lunar guards saw that and went off to die laughing. The archons gave up on helping them and went to pout. Luna and Shining didn’t know what to do. The whole room was either a hostile, comical or casual environment. They both looked at each other and chuckled nervously. “So what do I owe the visit from a pouting hydralisk?” started the executor, making the hydralisk to smile. “I was just here to make the air a little more friendly while you're here zelly.” “Well zergy I think you did a very fine job doing that, you nearly killed my zealots and Luna’s guard from laughter, and that’s saying something!” They both laughed and hugged each other. The executor sniffed the air and placed a hand on his face. “You smell like messed up cologne.” the hydralisk sniffed himself before fainting. Everyone in the room stare at the unconscious hydralisk. “It... just.... fainted....” said an archon. “I believe we are under a very high drug.” said an immortal. “We believe so.” nodded the archon. Luna glanced at the archon and smiled “You having the same problem of the ‘we’?” The archon glanced at the princess and shook his head “No, archons are formed if two high templars merge into one. That is why we use the ‘we’.” The princess pouted “I guess i’m the only one who used the royal ‘we’...” The evening went fairly well, princess Luna gave the executor the permit to construct a base nearby. “It may benefit us, if the gryphons decide that the treaty is over with since Trottingham is near the borders.”. She also asked the dragon ambassador if the executor may have a permit as well which he gladly gave. The dragon ambassador was frightened at first when he saw the unconscious hydralisk on the floor but shrugged it off. “What kind of dragon is it?” “He isn’t a dragon....” The ambassador raised an eyebrow and examined the hydralisk further. “Indeed he isn’t....” The hydralisk woke up yelling bloody murder and ‘Yick yick yick yick!’ his way towards the executor. The ambassador raised both his eyebrows while the executor laughs at the scene. “Zelly what’s a dragon doing in the castle, and why do I still stink!” He chuckled, while the ambassador glares at the cowering hydralisk. “Zergy, the ‘dragon’ is the badlands ambassador. To why you still stink, it’s because we left you there until you wake up.” The hydralisk glared at him, before staring at the ambassador. “So did Zelly ask for a plot of land in the badlands?” the ambassador nodded, and trotted off outside. “Whelp, Zelly. I’m off to create more units and expand my hive inside the Everfree. Hope that we enjoy our stay, eh?” “Yes, I would love to stay as long as you don’t create some pranking units.” The hydralisk pouted “Don’t forget our meeting for the I-need-a-name-because-it-doesn’t-fit-me.” The executor chuckled “Wouldn’t want to leave the seven mares hanging do we? What time is the meeting?” The hydralisk shrugged, and went off towards the door “Better ask Luna. I’m too lazy to make a schedule and i’m too busy learning and controlling the hive.” “That sucks, well bye Zergy!” the executor waved and was returned by the hydralisk happily “You too Zelly!” then left off towards the Everfree forest. “How about I do a little prank when Celestia gets her facts right?” ===================================================================== Earth Montreal Time 17:00,56 I was playing a custom game of Probes vs Zealot and was winning as usual. The game was fairly simple, construct a mining base and defend against the zealot, a little like cat and mouse. The other players were raging about feeders and beginners, but I didn’t mind. The game was nearing it’s end, getting a few rage quitters made the game boring over the course of the match. I decided that I had enough and ‘GG’ everyone. They all said their goodbyes to me, then left. I then went online to find if my friend Jonathan or Jack were online. I was a little depressed that they broke their promise of a 1v1v1 match but they were always busy. I sighed and closed my computer. I then headed off towards my Ipad and opened at the recent episode of My little pony before the power, and the Ipad blacked out. Then I started to feel a bit woozy and slept on my couch. ===================================================================== He wakes up on a very comfortable bed. “Wait, I slept on my couch. Who was at my apartment? How did I get the most comfortable bed in Quebec?” he thought to himself, glancing at his new room. “This isn’t my bedroom... Where the hell am I?” He jumps out of his bed and looks inside the dresser. He finds something that resembles the uniform of Gerard Dugalle in Starcraft I. He smiles when he found that there was also a hat placed there. He put them all on and started to test them out. He finds a mirror on the far edge of the room and started to head towards it. “I look badass...” he admired himself. He finds an old smith and wesson revolver and picked it up. “This is the most powerful revolver in the world...” he placed the revolver in his pocket and headed towards the door. It opened with a small “Tsssh” and a few steam cloud were visible. He finds himself in a metal corridor. “This looks like the inside of the Hyperion except more advanced... Whoever built this had a lot of time on his hand.” he then took a step outside of his room and looked side by side. He finds someone dressed like Matt Hornet and saluted to him. “Commander, we have a visual of a protoss carrier, would you like to make contact sir?” The ‘commander’ stares at him before nodding and gestured him to lead the way. The man nodded and walked towards the deck. “Sir, would you like a briefing of the situation?” The commander looked at him for his rank and found he was at the rank of Corporal. “Correct, corporal. What is the situation?” he nodded and continued walking forward. “The protoss is stationed at the planet called Equis, we believe that they found a new overmind and went off to exterminate it. However we have been observing them from the past six days and found that they haven’t sent in a complete force yet.” “What do you mean by ‘complete force’ corporal?” “They haven’t send in their cavalry sir, it seems they want to try diplomacy for a change.” I raised an eyebrow and stared at him “Corporal, you do know that the Khalai protoss has a strict rule to exterminate all protoss. I know they changed a few things, but there would have to be a strong gap to keep them for using diplomacy for a change.” The corporal nodded, then they reached the deck in time. “Open the dashboard.” the corporal ordered. The dashboard showed a large battlecruiser, a carrier and the planet. “Corporal, are there any sentient life on this planet?” The corporal smiled “Glad you asked commander. You might find this weird, but Equis is inhabited by colorful ponies, gryphon and dragons. The scanner has also picked up some other sentient race underground or inside some mountains.” The commander stared at him before beaming up. “Corporal send in a dropship SAP. I would like an escort and an outpost built as well. I believe I know why the zerg and the protoss haven’t got knives at each others throat. And I also believe that I may have seen this planet before.” “Right away sir! You heard the man get the comm link up, get the SCVs and supply we are heading out!” “Sir, follow me to the hangar. I believe you are still trying to get used to your new battlecruiser?” The commander nodded and walked out with the corporal. Their walk towards the hangar was set in silence. When they arrived they were created with several dropships and medivacs loaded. “Corporal I would like to have one dropship in my command, leave all the rest here until I order them, understood?” The corporal was hesitant before saluting and heading off. “Alright, boys! I think the overmind and the protoss are having a small tea party because they are on a planet with pastel colored homosexual horses! I would not like any of you heading off to hug one, ask to keep one or even ask to kill one of em. Now we are going to get the bottoms of this, off we go lads!” The trip to Equis was fun, sadistically fun... The marines, firebats, marauders and medics were either shivering, talking or sleeping. They kept talking about a possible large scale battle going on down Equis. Others were shivering out of fear, they were veterans for pete sake! The other drank himself to sleep out of fear. The commander smiled and waited for the ETA. “Sir there seems to be a small settlement, should we land nearby?” the pilot asked through the intercom, waking up the drunk marine. “Can you show me what the settlement looks like?” he asked, making the dropship’s inhabitants shiver. “Right away sir.” A small screen popped up and he finds the town of Ponyville. He smiles and gave the pilot the okay to land nearby. “ETA fifteen minutes.” The marines checked their gears and started to get ready. The commander looked at his smith and wesson and sighed. “Hope this day doesn’t end in tears.” and placed his revolver back into his pocket. “Alright boys, put your weapons on safe and wait for my orders for weapons hot!” they all nodded and headed outside. He looked around to find an executor staring at them unamused while he was standing beside a cross armed (clawed?) hydralisk, who was pouting profoundly and glaring at the protoss. The commander chuckled at the childish hydralisk and pushed the thought to pinch him. “I’m telling you Zelly, I won the bet you owe me fifteen bits!” the hydralisk said to the protoss. “And I’m telling you that you forgot to clean yourself up!” shouted the protoss. The commander coughed to get their attention, but was ignored. “I’m proud to say, as a zerg, that I cleaned myself thoroughly after our meeting with the ambassador!” stated proudly the hydralisk. “And I’m telling you that whatever shampoo you used, stinks like hell!” “Anyone going to let me join?” asked the commander, making the executor and hydralisk staring at him. “NO!” they shouted in sync. They both looked at each other before brofisting. The commander eye’s widened at the sacred ritual of brofisting. The hydralisk slithered closely to the commander. “Damn the executor is right, but he doesn’t smell that bad on zerg terms...” “Do you like bananas?” “What?” asked the commander quizzically, and raising an eyebrow. “Do.You.Like.Bananas?” The commander stares at the hydralisk before realizing the joke. “Yes. But do you know where I could find them?” Both the executor and the hydralisk smiled. “Yes, yes we do would you like to know?” The commander nodded and inhaled with the hydralisk. “ON THE MOOOOOOOOOOONNNN!” “BEEEEEEE-YEEEEEEEEEETCH!!!!!!!!” The commander, hydralisk and executor stared at each other before looking towards Canterlot and finding a grey pony flying towards the moon. We all stared slack jawed at the sight and shrugged it off. “Let us not mess with Celestia for now...” said the hydralisk. “Agreed...” The day of renewal“So... anyone of you from Montreal?” the commander asked both the executor and hydralisk. “Anyone forgetting 'bout us?” asked a medic. The three leaders looked towards the escort and stared at them curiously. The commander perked up and took a step towards them “Oh! Go and ask the corporal to send in the SCVs to build an outpost, ask him to make a scan for any mineral and vespene gas and build the bases there.” they all nodded and went back inside the dropship. “So any of you from Montreal?” “Nah, I’m from Chicago.” said the executor. “I’m from Vancouver.” the commander smiled at the hydralisk before glaring at both of them. “Did your names used to be Jonathan and Jack?!” They both recoiled and look at each other and hugged together. “Michael?!” they both said in unision. The commander nodded angrily and tapped his foot on the ground. “You both forgot about our 1v1v1!” “Uhhh.....” they both looked at each other and rubbed their backs sheepishly. “Well, we were transported here so I guess that counts as an excuse.” The commander glared at the hydralisk making him back away. “Now that we are here, and since we cannot do our 1v1v1 anymore, how about we head over to Canterlot?” “How would you want to go to that hell hole! Celestia hates my guts and probably doesn’t know that you guys exist!” the hydralisk protested, shivering and sweating. “What could possibly go wrong?” said the executor, making the already frightened hydralisk shake more. “Nah, dude! I have bad memories baaaad memories!” The executor raised an eyebrow and stared at the hydralisk “The only bad memories is you fainting from your own stench, cowering from a dragon and insulting him and not to mention getting inside the dining room uninvited!” “I go where I please, executor” the hydralisk made a mock salute and did a raspberry at the executor. The executor sighed of defeat and gave up. “Let’s just go to Canterlot and hope that whoever said bitch was not Celestia but Twilight and the flying earth pony was flung by the cutie mark crusaders...” The hydralisk and commander nodded and set a course to Canterlot. “Let’s just get this over with...” sighed the hydralisk, making the executor smile sadistically. “I will have fun tormenting him in Celestia’s presence!” The trip to Canterlot was fun in brony term. The hydralisk and executor both informed the commander about getting a name from princess Luna and the mane six. The commander agreed and talked about his battlecruiser stationed in space. The executor didn’t mind and asked the hydralisk of any means of galactic transportation. “I still have to ask Lero about morphing a Leviathan, but Herec says that I can create a more durable one if I let him.” “Alright girls, Canterlot is in sight. Prepare your daily dosage of ponies.” said the hydralisk jokingly. The commander and executor glared at him. He shied away and resumed slithering in shame. The commander and executor both stopped after realizing something. “Zergy, why didn’t you summon a nydus worm to bring us faster to Canterlot?”. The hydralisk turned back towards them and raised an eyebrow “You never asked if you guys wanted a ride.” The commander and executor glared at him and started to sprint towards Canterlot. “Hey wait up!” the hydralisk shouted, morphing quickly into a zergling and catching up with the two running humanoids. The guards stationed at the gate stared at the three creatures sprinting towards them. A guard panicked and sounded the alarm. Everypony in the vicinity ran inside homes, stores, bars and political buildings. The lunar guards that were stationed there shrugged and opened the gates. The royal guards and solar guards stared at the lunar guards that opened the gates for the three creatures making them panic further. The lunar guards raised an eyebrow and stared at the panicking ponies. “Bunch of pussies...” muttered one them, making the others nod and continued to patrol the Canterlot walls. The executor, commander and zergling smiled at the gate opening before them, and finding the guards panicking and ordering in disarray. The lunar guards that saw them merely waved, which they returned happily. Shining Armor then appeared on the wall and stared unamused at the three sprinting creatures. He shrugged and left the royal guards and solar guards without their captain and left them in disarray. “The princesses always forget to inform the public and the guard about these sort of things...” Shining Armor sighed and trotted towards his office and sat at his desk. “Better prepare for the complaints and danger report from the guards and nobles. To Tartarus explaining this to the populace, let the princesses get this over with before I lose my mind!” “I win! You guys owe me ten bits each!” the zergling smiled happily, making the two humanoids groan in defeat. “Hurry up! I want to be sent to the moon sooner than later...” he stated darkly. The commander shrugged and headed towards the insectoid. The executor smiled sadistically before joining them. The trip was more or less, uneventful. Nothing was on the streets of Canterlot, except for a few lunar guards and abandoned stalls. The zergling turns back into a hydralisk and slithers with the two humanoids towards the castle gates. The gate was, thankfully, guarded by the lunar guards. The entourage smiles at them, being the only guard corp that didn’t fear them and being the only un-ignorant bunch. The zerg and protoss both recognized some and waved at them. The patrol waved and continued on. “Here to see the princesses?” said the mare guard, unphased by the new arrival. “Who’s the new lad?” said the stallion, pointing towards the commander. The hydralisk and executor look towards the commander, and gesturing him to answer. “I’m the commander of the Terrans currently stationed here, and these sorry-excuses of leaders are my “brothers”.” The hydralisk and executor shift nervously, they turn their gaze towards the mountain and whistles innocently. The guards stare quizzically at the three humanoids, not finding the skit funny. “We’ll just let you in... Glad to have you guys back, Celestia just woke up!” the mare said gladly, making the hydralisk’s spine shiver. “Like I said before, “let’s get this over with...” he grumbled and met his faith. The others got in just fine, while the executor smiled mischievously. “This is going to become a fun day, indeed.” ================================================================================================= The castle was, better than ever. It still had the same tapestry, same old pottery and other castle-y thingies. They were all happily trotting towards Celestia’s quarters, minus “zergy”. A familiar sound was heard in the corridors of Canterlot castle, and hearing a few screams and stuff falling. The hydralisk had a deadpan look, while the commander and executor were both looking at him nervously. “Seriously?” he started nonchalantly, “Benny-freaking-Hill?” he stated, making the two humanoids both nod in unison. “If I was a stupid moron, I would have easily think this was a Scooby Doo skit.” He started to walked in the general direction of the “disturbance”, but it wasn’t as though somepony would just barge in and tell them what wa- A lavender alicorn, resembling a little like Twilight, ran past the three “morons”. Hydralisk had the biggest look on his insectoid face, the commander was wide eyed and the executor was making a failed jaw expression. “HELP! SOMEPONY, ANYPONY!” she shouted, “Yep, definitely Twilight.”. The two first arrivals both faint, the hydralisk drooling and the executor falling face first. The commander was just staring at the two comical “comedians” and expected Jeff Dunham making a snarky comment, and fail miserably. But, alas it didn’t came. The “creature” that was chasing the lavender mare, was an alabaster alicorn slightly taller than said mare and slightly more built. She was holding what appeared to be a bag of some sort, with a banana surrounded by a circle with a few snarky comments inside. It wasn’t as impressive as a Dollarama bag, but at least it was a bag. The lavender mare was visibly sweating, the corpse of an unconscious moon princess was sprawled out in the dining room. The commander was the only sane person in said room, and was visibly losing the battle to hug one pony. “Even if it’s Blueblood, please let me hug somepony!” he was struggling, even letting the snobbish snobby of the universe to even consider to hug. At least he can hug somepony, he would take the mane six over Blueblood anyday, Fancy Pants if he had to do a noble challenge. It wasn’t a battle of what to hug or what-not to hug, it was a battle of who can wake up first, the hydralisk or the psychic executor? ===================================================================== The hydralisk was the first to wake up, he was gasping, surprisingly; it was a deep and exasperated kind of gasping. He wanted to find out how the lavender book worm turned into an alicorn in the period of three weeks. He didn’t even have the time to watch season 3! The executor got up moments later, but was a bit calmer and a bit angry, he too wanted to know how a lavender adorkable mare got turned into a princess while he, and the other entourage, was out having the discussion of their lives about who will become the next ten million bits winner. Alas, the hydralisk was pale, his colored changed, and was struggling not to run for his insectoid life. The white alicorn was still busy chasing the mare for some reasons, and without the help and “guidance” of Luna, who was currently drooling, to prevent a certain “mare” from killing him. But all the hydralisk could do was make a snarky comment “So, who was the one to wake up the sprawled up princess?” that got the princess to wake up. “I’m not drunk, nor am I drugged!” she shouted, eyes widen. She was blushing when she saw the hydralisk on the ground, holding his serpentine stomach with his claws. Said larvae excuse gets up, and tries to make a dramatic pose with his serpentine body and poor actor skills “I WANTED TO HAVE CHILDREN!” “YOU WILL NEVER HAVE ONE YOU DOPE, YOU’RE AN INSECT AND A SORRY EXPLANATION FOR HUMANITY!” shouted a certain “somepony” from afar. “I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT!” shouted the “sorry excuse of humanity”. The hydralisk “walks” to the nearby infirmary, firstly: to heal himself, secondly: to find some hot nurse mares. “I hope I don’t find milk mare here...” finding nothing to do for his “long” trip to the infirmary, hydralisk one decides to look at the “scenery”. Finding everything poosh and boorish, he decides to call upon a great evil and funny man to the area. “OH GREAT DISCORD, I SUMMON THEE FOR I HAVE AN UNKEMPT MANE. OH ALMIGHTY ONE, PLEASE MAKE YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE BE KNOWN!” After five minutes of wait, the summon failed, and an anchor fails on the unlucky mare. Zergy had transformed into a mare, in mere nanoseconds and was now sprawled, bloody, with a beautiful nurse outfit, hat and all, and a nice blond touch. “WHY ME!” his entire shenanigans was now left untouched by a blank looking Luna, that was watching his weird dream from her nice comfy “poison” floor. “I would have think that his mind would be full of master plans, bloodlust and have a big warmonger brain....” Princess Luna, armed with her new found knowledge, continues to drink the poison of the world: Alcohol... Author's Note Sorry for the wait, I had this slight thing called "No motivation" thanks to the upcoming exams, and my lack of not finding a good story. Hope this sorry excuse of a story helps y'all get an understand of why zergs are best races, and protoss and terran are both stooped. The day of renewal ( Executor's dream )“MAMA MIA!” The executor was the only one to wake up, really not the bucked up version made by our everyday zergy. He looks at the drooling hydralisk, who is blushing faintly, and has a forehead heating up. He smiles like the masochist he is. He looks around for any “lethal” objects to prank on the unlucky zerg larva. He finds the perfect candidate, a pristine and sharp looking mirror just by the end of the hall. He then proceeds to unhinge the darn thang from the wall, and stands it by the unconscious hydralisk. “This is going to be rad.” his glowing eyes were showing the great happiness that is about to come. He waits for a good five minutes, before pushing the mirror, and walking by whistling a happy tune. At a far distance, he could hear the satisfying breaking of glass, and looks behind him to see a very beautiful sight. The great anatomy of zergs splattered on display, underneath a now maroon red carpet. He then cups his ears, or something similar to ears, and listen attentively to the silence of the corridor. .... .... .... .... “MY SPINE!” shouted a muffled cry from a nearby area. The executor smiles, or attempts to, and hurries off towards a nearby dining hall were the famous “Liquor floor” is located. The executor has completed his objective of finding the all mighty “liquor floor” and is now proceeding to drink a cup of moonshine from the nearby alicorn. Said drinker has now performed a defense stance, protecting her precious load of poisoned liquid and spiked punch; she is obviously insane. “Oh great beast, I declare that your precious liquor a delicacy to my kin. I will now henceforth defeat you for thine poison to entertain my fellow brothers and sisters!” the executor said, making the dark alicorn snort a puff cloud. “WAKE UP YOU FOOL!” shouted the alicorn, making him jump back up to reality. Author's Note Zerg still best race... By the way, any of you have any idea why this isn't in any SC related groups, or even a crossover group... I'm pretty confused... 400+ views and still no adds... I FEEL WORTHLESS!!! When funny men go serious, but goes back being complete jerks...By a flick of luck, both candidates jolts up from their “lucid” dream; gets up and tidy themselves up. The commander was trying hard not to laugh at the twos misfortunes, and was hiding behind the assailant who woke them up from their “awoken” state. “I just had the weirdest dream, and a zerg boner...” “I was dreaming of splattered zerg blood on the royal carpet...” The captain and covered princess both look at the polar opposites, totally unfazed at their shenanigans “Zergy” looks at Luna for a while, trying to figure out the weird liquid flowing downwards from the star night mare. The zerg overmind/ hydralisk, suddenly realized what kind of liquid is flowing down; and looks at Luna with a fatherly gaze, narrowing slightly. “Luna.” he started. “Y-Y-Yes?” she stuttered, feeling uncomfortable with the sudden change of expression. “Is that liquor I see, dropping freely from your mane.” he deduced sarcastically. She looked around to and fro, avoiding his gaze. He was judging her slightly, being his favorite pony; the hydralisk wants to stop at nothing, but to keep the moon princess pleased and in good health. Averting his gaze from Luna, he looks down at the unsteadily standing executor. He smiles a little, and kicks him off balance. The executor was not pleased, and seemed to change his blue eyes to that of red. Thinking it was the perfect time for a tactical retreat, the hatchling runs off towards the horizon, screaming profanities and being a complete jackass. He climbs the castle walls, and tries to find the white and purple alicorns that were present; not so long ago. He finally finds his targets, and tackles the purple alicorn from the hunting sun princess. And switches Twilight’s place of the hunted, to the executor. Revenges have been made this very day.... ================================================================================================= With the executor currently being occupied with, and Twilicorn in his grasp. He sets off on a great adventure of self discovery. And will now find a way to get rid of this third person nickname shtick, it really pisses him off. Now on his way to Ponyville, he asked Twilicorn to gather the rest of the Mane Six to the Golden Oak. As an impatient hatchling, he sets off annoying Spike; and reading random books. His thoughts were interrupte- I mean.... His antics were interrupted when the rest of the Mane Six barged into the door, one by one. Now the naming... begins... Author's Note Finally got this done... Sorry for the 2 month wait... Now, I want y'all to find a name for our friendly "Zergy" here, cause it's too time consuming finding something that sounds right with: the hatchling, the hydralisk etc... So, I would be ever pleased if you guys help me out! SHOUT OUT TO AlphaThroughZeta for reminding me of making an update...!!!! 3 days of 5 hour work! WASTED!!!!! Because I was too lazy, and studies to do. Revision to be made. Friendship shat- actually no... ANYWHO! Don't hate on me, cause my fingers aren't fast as yours... ... if you know what I mean... The Benny Hill conspiracy. The Benny Hill conspiracy. “So... anyone of you from Montreal?” the commander asked both the executor and hydralisk. “Anyone forgetting us?” asked a medic. The three leaders looked towards the escort and stared at them curiously. The commander perked up and took a step towards them “Oh! Go and ask the corporal to send in the SCVs to build an outpost, ask him to make a scan for any mineral and vespene gas and build the bases there.” they all nodded and went back inside the dropship. “So any of you from Montreal?” “Nah, I’m from Chicago.” said the executor. “I’m from Vancouver.” the commander smiled at the hydralisk before glaring at both of them. “Did your names used to be Jonathan and Jack?!” They both recoiled and look at each other and hugged together. “Michael?!” they both said in unision. The commander nodded angrily and tapped his foot on the ground. “You both forgot about our 1v1v1!” “Uhhh.....” they both looked at each other and rubbed their backs sheepishly. “Well, we were transported here so I guess that counts as an excuse.” The commander glared at the hydralisk making him back away. “Now that we are here, and since we cannot do our 1v1v1 anymore, how about we head over to Canterlot?” “How would you want to go to that hell hole! Celestia hates my guts and probably doesn’t know that you guys exist!” the hydralisk protested, shivering and sweating. “What could possibly go wrong?” said the executor, making the already frightened hydralisk shake more. “Nah, dude! I have bad memories baaaad memories!” The executor raised an eyebrow and stared at the hydralisk “The only bad memories is you fainting from your own stench, cowering from a dragon and insulting him and not to mention getting inside the dining room uninvited!” “I go where I please, executor” the hydralisk made a mock salute and did a raspberry at the executor. The executor sighed of defeat and gave up. “Let’s just go to Canterlot and hope that whoever said bitch was not Celestia but Twilight and the flying earth pony was flung by the cutie mark crusaders...” The hydralisk and commander nodded and set a course to Canterlot. “Let’s just get this over with...” sighed the hydralisk, making the executor smile sadistically. “I will have fun tormenting him in Celestia’s presence!” The trip to Canterlot was fun in brony term. The hydralisk and executor both informed the commander about getting a name from princess Luna and the mane six. The commander agreed and talked about his battlecruiser stationed in space. The executor didn’t mind and asked the hydralisk of any means of galactic transportation. “I still have to ask Lero about morphing a Leviathan, but Herec says that I can create a more durable one if I let him.” “Alright girls, Canterlot is in sight. Prepare your daily dosage of ponies.” said the hydralisk jokingly. The commander and executor glared at him. He shied away and resumed slithering in shame. The commander and executor both stopped after realizing something. “Zergy, why didn’t you summon a nydus worm to bring us faster to Canterlot?”. The hydralisk turned back towards them and raised an eyebrow “You never asked if you guys wanted a ride.” The commander and executor glared at him and started to sprint towards Canterlot. “Hey wait up!” the hydralisk shouted, morphing quickly into a zergling and catching up with the two running humanoids. The guards stationed at the gate stared at the three creatures sprinting towards them. A guard panicked and sounded the alarm. Everypony in the vicinity ran inside homes, stores, bars and political buildings. The lunar guards that were stationed there shrugged and opened the gates. The royal guards and solar guards stared at the lunar guards that opened the gates for the three creatures making them panic further. The lunar guards raised an eyebrow and stared at the panicking ponies. “Bunch of pussies...” muttered one them, making the others nod and continued to patrol the Canterlot walls. The executor, commander and zergling smiled at the gate opening before them, and finding the guards panicking and ordering in disarray. The lunar guards that saw them merely waved, which they returned happily. Shining Armor then appeared on the wall and stared unamused at the three sprinting creatures. He shrugged and left the royal guards and solar guards without their captain and left them in disarray. “The princesses always forget to inform the public and the guard about these sort of things...” Shining Armor sighed and trotted towards his office and sat at his desk. “Better prepare for the complaints and danger report from the guards and nobles. Let’shope the princesses get this over with before I lose my mind!” “I win! You guys owe me ten bits each!” the zergling smiled happily, making the two humanoids groan in defeat. “Hurry up! I want to be sent to the moon sooner than later...” he stated darkly. The commander shrugged and headed towards the insectoid. The executor smiled sadistically before joining them. The trip was more or less, uneventful. Nothing was on the streets of Canterlot, except for a few lunar guards and abandoned stalls. The zergling turns back into a hydralisk and slithers with the two humanoids towards the castle gates. The gate was, thankfully, guarded by the lunar guards. The entourage smiles at them, being the only guard corp that didn’t fear them and being the only un-ignorant bunch. The zerg and protoss both recognized some and waved at them. The patrol waved and continued on. “Here to see the princesses?” said the mare guard, unphased by the new arrival. “Who’s the new lad?” said the stallion, pointing towards the commander. The hydralisk and executor look towards the commander, and gesturing him to answer. “I’m the commander of the Terrans currently stationed here, and these sorry-excuses of leaders are my “brothers”.” The hydralisk and executor shift nervously, they turn their gaze towards the mountain and whistled innocently. The guards stare quizzically at the three humanoids, not finding any family resemblance. “We’ll just let you in... Glad to have you guys back, Celestia just woke up!” the mare said gladly, making the hydralisk’s spine shiver. “Like I said before; let’s get this over with...” he grumbled and met his faith. The others got in just fine, while the executor smiled mischievously. “This is going to become a fun day, indeed.” The castle was, better than ever. It still had the same tapestry, same chinas and other castle-y thingys. We were all happily trotting towards Celestia’s quarters, minus “zergy”. A familiar was heard in the corridors of Canterlot castle, and hearing a few screams and stuff falling. The hydralisk had a deadpan look, while the commander and executor were both looking at him nervously. “Seriously?” he started nonchalantly, “Benny freaking Hill?” he stated, making the two humanoids both whistle innocently. “If I was a stupid moron, I would have easily think this was a Scooby Doo skit.” He started to walked in the general direction of the “disturbance”, but it wasn’t as though somepony would just barge in and tell them what wa- A lavender alicorn, resembling a little like Twilight, ran past the three “morons”. Hydralisk had the biggest look on his insectoid face, the commander was wide eyed and the executor was making a failed jaw expression. “HELP! SOMEPONY, ANYPONY!” she shouted, “Yep, definitely Twilight.”. The two first arrivals both faint, the hydralisk drooling and the executor falling face first. The commander was just staring at the two comical “comedians” and expected Jeff Dunham making a snarky comment, and fail miserably. But, alas it didn’t came. The “creature” that was chasing the lavender mare, was an alabaster alicorn slightly taller than said mare and slightly more built. She was holding what appeared to be a bag of some sort, with a banana surrounded by a circle with a few snarky comments inside. It wasn’t as impressive as a Dollarama bag, but at least it was a bag. The lavender mare was visibly sweating, the corpse of an unconscious moon princess was sprawled out in the dining room. The commander was the only sane person in said room, and was visibly losing the battle to hug one pony. “Even if it’s Blueblood, please let me hug somepony!” he was struggling, even letting the snobbish snobby of the universe to even consider to hug. At least he can hug somepony, he would take the mane six over Blueblood anyday, Fancy Pants if he had to do a noble challenge. It wasn’t a battle of what to hug or what-not to hug, it was a battle of who can wake up first, the hydralisk or the psychic executor? The hydralisk was the first to wake up, he was gasping, surprisingly. It was a deep and exasperated kind of gasping. He wanted to find out how the lavender book worm turned into an alicorn in the period of three weeks. He didn’t even have the time to watch season 3! The executor got up moments later, but was a bit calmer and a bit angry, he too wanted to know how a lavender adorkable mare got turned into a princess while he, and the other entourage, was out having the discussion of their lives about who will become the next ten million bits winner.

But all the hydralisk could do was make a snarky comment “So, who was to wake up the sprawled up princess?” that got the princess to wake up. “I’m not drunk, nor am I drugged!” she shouted, eyes widen. She was blushing when she saw the hydralisk on the ground, holding his serpentine stomach with his claws. Author's Note Heads up! Need help with finding a name for the three idiots, any suggestions would be great! Put them in the comments belooow. And by the way, they are supposed to have either dragon, griffon, D-dog or pony related names depending on the character. Hydralisk = dragon, griffon and D-dog Commander = griffon, D-dog and pony. Executor = protoss, dragon and pony. By the way, for the executor being the only one having his race related name, is because I would rather not have some of the on board crew of the stationed carrier. Here's something to help you for the races! Dragons are a bit German, Nordic, Swedish, Polish and Chinese. Griffons are French, English, Russian and Portuguese. Ponies are English, French, German and Spanish. Diamond dogs are Spanish, Portuguese, American Indian and a hint of English. Hope this helps on finding names for these sorry sods! P.S - Future chapters may turn from large to medium to small, the constant flow of ideas coming into my head disrupts my field of thinking and imagining for future chapters for all my stories.
The new leadersMy name is Jonathan... ‘was’ Jonathan. ARGH! I don’t know! All I was doing, was replaying some bits of campaign on Starcraft two! Then I suddenly get transferred here as an hierarchically zerg leader! I wasn’t born, prepared or mentally sane to become a leader like *SNAP* that! I was just your regular old geek playing some video games! And worst of all in the show My little pony! How do I know MLP? Well, let’s just say I was a closet brony and leave it at that, kay? Anyway, I bet you're asking how I know that I was a leader. Well...! Let’s just say a cerebrate kept calling me ‘Master’ or ‘Overmind’ and the constant zerg following me. The cerebrate Lerorinesco, which I will be calling Lero, said that he was ‘my’ advisor. He also said that I had an evolution master, good thing i saw the trailer and the HoTS panel on BlizzCon. The evolution master was named Herecto and was well trained in the art of evolution. He’s already started a few projects while I was playing SC. Anyways, Lero said the only way I can control the ‘swarm’ was to morph into an overmind. Now let me get this straight, I can morph back to human form and overmind at will, but morphing takes time and is quite a gruesome sight. But, I found my cons and pros and got the hang of it. Controlling the zerg swarm was like an extra appendage. It felt natural. I can have a bird’s eye view of a field that I want (like SC but without the fog of war) or I can look directly at one of my units and take control of it. Lero kept looking at me like a mother would when she finds her kids doing something new but not appreciating it. To put it simply, he looked both annoyed and confused. Herec wasn’t much a problem, he knew where I was and found it comical watching an overmind using his tricks on square one and getting a hang of it. To put it simply, he was happy and kept laughing his ass of when I accidently blew up banelings. Both Lero and Herec were good lads, and were helping me out whenever I hit a dead end or was just looking for more advance or basic shtick. This was going to be a heck of a day.... ===================================================================== Rainbow Dash was having a nap nearby the Everfree forest, but far enough so that no monsters would get to her when she was asleep, you know high and mighty and all? Anyway, she was suddenly woken up by a louder explosion then the ones she kept hearing. She thought they were some of Pinkie’s firework going off for a new pony in town or a party. But, this explosion sounded different and off. First she would hearing the bang then hear a small ‘Tssshhh’ afterwards. Not to mention she kept hearing them in the Everfree. So the only sane thing should would do, was head off to Twilight to see if it was Equestria normal, Everfree normal or abnormal. But she went with the opposite. She flew straight towards the Everfree forest in search of the banging ‘TSSSHHs’. She was expecting Pinkie or Zecora doing something new, “but Pinkie would never go inside the Everfree, even if she sang the Giggle at the Ghostly!” she thought to herself, putting a forehoof on her chin. “But, Zecora wouldn’t go deeper into the Everfree either just to test something out, she’s Zecora after all!” and sped off into the depths of the Everfree. What she found shock her to the core of her being and ethereal being. What she found was a grotesque being made of flesh and shell. And was looking at her with it’s one giant eye. But what she also found was there was another thing that was made of flesh but was smaller, and looked like a larvae which was spewing some green liquid that resembled vomit. She fell under blackness, and the last thing she saw was an insect being that bore fangs carrying her towards somewhere before welcoming the darkness. ===================================================================== I was talking to Lero about some of the more advance control before I heard something land on the ground a few feet away from me. What I saw was Rainbow Dash, she looked shock, terrified, angry and confused. Her mouth was agape, her eyes showing her true emotions and her body shivering from a combat of fear and anger. And then blacked out. I would have laugh my ass off, but thought against it. She blacked out, out of fear. I took control of one of the zerglings and picked her up. I looked around if there were roaches or infestor who could bring her to Fluttershy’s cottage or Ponyville. I found an infestor and immediately took control of it and dashed towards the butter creamed pegasus’s cottage. When I reached her cottage, as an infestor mind you, I was greeted with the sight of the mane 6 (minus Dash and Shy) at the front porch of the cottage. They awaited impatiently for the buttercream pegasus to answer. Feeling the need to relieve the tension, I spit out Rainbow Dash out of my egg thingy on my back. The girls looked behind to find Rainbow Dash shivering. Twilight ran towards her, followed by Pinkie Pie, AJ and Rarity. Suddenly the door of the cottage opened up to reveal the shy pegasus. She looked towards the group before widening her eyes and dashing inside again. She came back with a first aid kit and flew hastily towards the cyan pegasus for any injuries. She sighed of relief and said “It’s okay girls. She only blacked out over something, but Rainbow never blacks out over anything!” The mares nodded and looked at the forest with fear, lots of fear, I could smell and taste it! “We should bring her to the hospital, I don’t think whatever scared Dash wants her away from the forest.” stated Twilight, receiving nods and ‘Yeses’ from her friends. AJ volunteered to carry Rainbow, while Pinkie and Rarity flanked her with Fluttershy and Twilight at both ends. I smiled at their formation and left. “Hopefully this will all blow over, at least nothing bad happened today!” ===================================================================== When the girls reached the hospital, they put Dash on emergency. Everypony in Ponyville knew that Dash was the bravest and courageous pony in town. So whatever made her blackout, out of fright scared everypony who knew of the incident. Five hours later, and the doctors said that they can visit Dash since she’s awake. All five mares dashed towards the room 457 and slamming the door open. Receiving a groan from a cyan pony. “Dashie are you alright!?” shouted Pinkie, receiving another groan from the tomboyish pegasus which she quietly apologized. “It’s alright Pinks! I had a rough day...” Rainbow said jokingly, receiving little giggles from the mares. “So Rainbow, how did you blackout of fear?” asked Twilight. She knew Rainbow Dash read a few books of mythological and legendary beings ones in a while whenever a new Daring Do novel appears. Rainbow looked at the lavender unicorn before widening her eyes in fear. She remembered the scene vividly. She then morphed her fear into confusion. The girls found it strange. “Uh, Dash what’s got you thinking?” asked the lavender pony. “Honestly I don’t know Twi. All I was doing was napping near the Everfree forest before hearing some loud bangs coming from the forest.” the girls looked at Twilight for help, which she shrugged it off and gestured Dash to continue. “Anyway, when I heard a louder bang. I decided that I had enough and went inside the forest to investigate.” Twilight narrowed her eyes towards Dash “Why didn’t you come ask one of us for help, you know how dangerous the Everfree can get!” she scolded. “I know, I know, but. It’s just that, I wasn’t thinking straight. I was hearing those bangs from the forest and thought it was Pinkie or Zecora doing something!” Rainbow defended. “Okay, can you continue where you left off?” asked Twilight, un-narrowing her eyes. “Anyway, when I left to investigate. I found the scariest thing you can ever imagine!” she lifted both her hooves to emphasize her point, receiving gasp from the group. “It was huge, ugly and fleshy! It had these giant eyeball that stared at me! There was another one too but it was smaller and looked like a larvae! I felt like I was falling apart from shivering before falling over. Last thing I remember was being picked up by something that looked like a changeling but way different!” she finished. She looked at the group of friends, they were showing looks of fear, confusion, skepticism, concern and disgust. “Dash are you sure that’s what you saw?” asked Twilight, getting glares from three mares. She shied away for a while before saying “It’s just that what you say doesn’t exist, or shouldn’t exist! I say she ran towards the Everfree saw an Ursa major and blacked out.” she said smugly, getting a small air of relief from the three mares. “One, I saw them in a clearing. Two, how can I mistook a giant eyeball? Three, there was a larvae clear as day beside it. Four, what could have brought me here or wherever you found me if it was an Ursa? Five, I already saw the image of an Ursa major and laughed at it! Six, what could have made those banging noises?” The four mares stared at Rainbow, removing skepticism from Twilight and replacing it with fear. The three mares looked at Twilight for help and didn’t receive any. “I can explain if you want” said an unfamiliar stallion voice. Everpony turned their attention to a tall creature leaning against the wall. The figure smiled and stood there. It whistled and the creature that fit Rainbow’s description came in. Rainbow stared at it, while the four mares slacked jawed at it. The figure’s smile grew larger and walked straight to Dash. The mares didn’t take too kindly of the act and made a defensive pose. The figure’s eyebrow grew before shrugging off and continued post haste. The small creature growled at the mares making them break their pose and huddled closely to each other. The figure arrived to his destination and whispered something to her ear. Rainbow’s eyes widened before jumping out of the bed sheets and ran towards the bathroom. It laughed at the comical moment before glancing towards the mare’s confused look. It shrugged and headed back towards the forest. ===================================================================== I watched as the tall thing walked towards me and the little creature growl at my friends, I waited for it to do something but instead whispered to my ears “The zergling, that little creature, didn’t actually carry you. You were carried to your friend’s cottage inside an infestor’s pouch. And when I mean pouch I mean egg, and you were spitted out.” My eyes widened, I placed a hoof on my mouth and ran straight towards the bathroom. ===================================================================== Twilight and the girls kept staring at the figuring who was suddenly heading towards the door to leave. It took a small ounce of willpower for Twilight to say something “Who are you?” she said, making the mares glare at her but it was too late. The figure stopped and look at the lavender pony “I am the overmind, I control the zerg swarm with the help of Lero and Herec. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m still trying to know how to control the swarm.” he said simply, then left the mare to think. “Overmind? What does he mean by overmind? Overmind like taking control of things? Is he evil, no he brought back Rainbow to us. ARGH! I must take a letter to the princess!” The overmind came back but with a scowl and said “And Twilight, I highly recommend you to send a letter. Now I will take my leave, ta ta!” It left with the creature in tow. The mares de-huddled themselves to find Rainbow, but she came back shortly after their de-huddle. Rainbow looked... clean. The girls shrugged it off but left Twilight thinking on her own. The doctor came in and said that Rainbow can leave but “You have to steer clear of the Everfree. Whatever scared you might still be there so is suggest not going there for a few weeks for the fear to subside.” and left. Everypony said their goodbyes and went off to their daily lives. Twilight however was not off to her daily life. She was researching and researching. But once she hit a dead end, she asked Spike to take a letter. “ Dear Princess Celestia. Today we found Rainbow shivering and unconscious near Fluttershy’s cottage. She recovered when we sent her to the hospital and told us how she blacked out. She told us she saw a large fleshy being and it’s giant eye stared right at her. She also said that there was a smaller one that resembles a larvae. When she lost consciousness the last thing she saw was a creature that bore insectoid wings, a carapace, fangs and was roughly the same height and diameter as a grown mare. The creature showed itself to us with another figure named “The Overmind” he was friendly to us but I wonder his true intentions. It whispered something to Rainbow that made her fly out of the room and come back clean when it left. It also told me to send a letter after I thought about it! I don’t know if he’s evil or a threat to Equestria! I haven’t seen the large being that Rainbow described but the creature that picked her up was here! Please send a reply, I don’t know what to do! Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle. “ Spike inhaled and blew the letter in a green flame, and transformed the letter into a magical dust. Shortly after Spike sent the letter, princess Celestia herself came inside the library with a platoon of Royal guards. “Twilight, where was the disturbance located!” she ordered, leaving the once motherly tone into that of a monarch. “The Everfree forest princess, but I don’t know where exactly! I think asking Rainbow would be best.” Twilight said, receiving a nod from the princess and ordered the guard to secure a perimeter of the forest. Rainbow appeared shortly after the guard started to form a perimeter, she asked the princess what was going on “The overmind is that of pure evil! It want’s nothing but to conquer and to exterminate races in a quick and gruesome way! It controls the zerg, an insectoid race that evolves in a flash. They are quick but weak. But they evolve to become stronger and stronger until the either them or the enemy is dead.” she said darkly, receiving a gasp from the lavender mare. Rainbow wasn’t impressed and said simply “If the overminds only goal is to take over the world and do total genocide, why isn’t it doing it now? I saw him and his larvae thing and they carried me over to Fluttershy’s cottage! Not to mention he showed up with one of the zerglings to prove that I wasn’t making things up!” Celestia scowled at Rainbow, which she narrowed her eyes “The overmind is deceptive and cruel, he is using your safety as a tool. He exploits it when we're weak when we think we’re safe and sound! The zerg are mindless creature that want nothing but to serve the overmind and the swarm!” Rainbow raised an eyebrow at Celestia and said “How do you know all this? The fact that one of them came to me, growled at Twilight and my friends when they wanted to hurt it. And carried me to Fluttershy’s cottage means they aren’t mindless creatures. And how don’t we know the zerg from any of the books or the archive! Twilight should have known what they are if the files existed! Your judging something from the cover and not the book!” then left to the Everfree forest. The guards started to seize her, but was unsuccessful. The princess and the librarian took haste and started to follow her into the forest but was unsuccessful as well. The opening was guarded by one of the zerg but was more taller than the ones they saw. It looked serpentine, it had fangs and claws. “A hydralisk!” thought Celestia. She knew the zerg from the protoss when Equestria started showing signs of infection. “These ones look far different when I first met them!” she started to cast a spell but was unsuccessful. She looked at her horn to find it sealed by something. It was green in colored but what struck her the most is that it also hit her guards and left them struggling. ===================================================================== I was having a lovely time learning from Lero and Herec! I learned how to evolve my units much quicker, and learned how to control multiple beings when I want to. I also learned how to control them at a bird’s eye view, you know having the giant eye and all. Anyway, my fun was cut short by a cyan pegasus. She didn’t look frightened like the last time we saw but I didn’t complain. “Princess Celestia thinks you’re evil and sent out a platoon of Royal guards and herself to exterminate you!” she said, panting heavily from being chased. “Well I think she isn’t much different from the old us. She thinks we're here to exterminate her little ponies, while she want’s to exterminate the zerg fully. She isn’t much different from a tyrant, and she isn’t looking at the book but at the cover!” “That’s what I said! I said that she was judging by the cover and not the book!” “Okay Dash, listen closely. I’m sending out these hydralisk to guard the entrance. I’m going to send out a patrol of ultralisks, zerglings, overseers and roaches inside the forest. Can you get back to Celestia on my signal?” she looked at me then nodded while I sent my swarm to patrol the forest. Satisfied, I signaled Dash to get back to the princess and left off my counter plan to work. ===================================================================== “Those are hydralisk, do not go near them! They can easily tear you apart or spit out spikes if you get near their range!” Celestia was shouting orders and descriptions of these creature. “Rainbow was right, how does she know about these and not leave any records in the library or archives! And she said that the Overmind was one of pure evil, why didn’t it attack us when it can with these things at his disposal! And why isn’t there any trace of the overmind in Equestria?” she thought to herself before seeing a cyan pegasus coming her way. Rainbow looked smug and happy, while Celestia scowled and glared at her. But Twilight was just happy to see her. She started to walk towards her and said “Don’t worry, I warned it and he’s prepared for an attack. He’s already sent out patrols.” Twilight sighed of relief, she glanced towards Celestia who was ordering the guards with haste. “Should we send a letter to Luna?” shortly after she said that, something came out of the ground in between Twilight and Rainbow. It had multiple eyes and looked armored completely. Twilight jumped while Rainbow just stood there like nothing happened. The creature had something in it’s mouth and gave it to Twilight. She took it cautiously while Rainbow just waits patiently. It was a scroll and it was in good conditions considering it was in it’s mouth. She opened it and read “ You should send a letter to Luna. She is the co-ruler of Equestria, and Celestia is taking things on her own accord. This is a violation of both parties considering Equestria is a diarch country. “ Twilight gave it to Rainbow, she denied politely “Shouldn’t we go see Spike for the letter?” she asked, Twilight nodded and headed off to the library. The roach left shortly after their departure and went off to the Everfree to resume it’s patrol. When they reached the library they were greeted with the sight of the four remaining mares. They were sitting casually but bore worried expressions. When they heard the door opening they smiled when they saw Twilight and Rainbow. “Spike take a letter to princess Luna SAP!” he saluted and went off to grab his quill and parchment. The mares looked at Twilight and Rainbow with a more worried expressions. “Twi, was going on at the forest? Ah would like ta know what the fuse is about!” Twilight ignored the cowmare which left Rainbow to answer. “Princess Celestia is judging the overmind because she thinks he’s the old one that wanted to rule the galaxy or some shtick.” Applejack didn’t take kindly to that and said “What do ya mean rule the galaxy?” Rainbow scowled at Applejack making the already uncomfortable air hostile. “He stopped his lesson on learning how to use his powers properly, he sent out a patrol inside the forest to protect himself. He asked Twi to send a letter to Princess Luna because all of what Celestia is doing is wrong! She and Luna are the co-rulers of Equestria, and Celestia went off on her own!” The mares didn’t take kindly to the information they were digesting. They heard something outside that sounded like a small earthquake. Rainbow and Twilight knew the sound and raised their eyebrow. The mares however don’t know the sound and huddled closely to each other. “Okay Twilight I got the quill and paper ready!” the lavender pony smiled and gestured Rainbow to open the door for their ‘guest’. “Dear Princess Luna I am writing to you, because princess Celestia hasn’t informed you about the disturbance in the Everfree forest. I think as both of you are co-rulers you should take what you think is a major threat together and not alone. Princess Celestia has taking in on her own accord to eliminate somepony who saved Rainbow and hadn’t done anything that would make it a threat. Princess Celestia says that it is something called the ‘Overmind’ and that it’s sole goal is to eliminate any races and to conquer all. What I see, is that Princess Celestia isn’t judging by the book but by the cover. The overmind hasn’t done anything to harm or any signs that it is a threat. Rainbow says that the overmind that Celestia is trying to eliminate is a new overmind trying to test his new found powers. Rainbow said that princess Celestia interrupted his lesson on how to control his swarm and had to take measures to protect himself. The overmind has also asked if I could send a letter to you, which I gladly took. Please reply, or come to the Everfree and stop princess Celestia. I don’t want to lose a friend, or a new race at that. I want to study the zerg and see if they are what Celestia think they are. A mindless race that want nothing but to serve the overmind and the swarm. Your friend Twilight Sparkle. “ Spike blew the parchment, transforming it into the all familiar dust. They waited patiently before princess Luna and her platoon of Lunar guard appeared outside of the library. She smiled at the sight of Twilight and gestured them to follow her. “Princess do you know what the zerg is? There aren’t any records or traces of them ever being here, and I would like to know where I can find anything that might or might not be recorded.” The princess frowned and said “I’m afraid I do not know what these ‘zerg’ are. But Celestia acting on her own accord isn’t to be left unpunished. She should have ask me for my approval as we are both co-rulers like you said in your letter.” Twilight smiled “I see that you're taking a great pace of changing from the old Canterlot!” The princess smile returned and went off towards the Everfree forest. When princess Luna saw the hydralisk guarding the entrance, she started to question whether or not Celestia might be right. But when the hydralisk caught the sight of Luna they bowed and left casually. Luna was staring at them slack jawed. “They bowed to me, and left on their own!” she thought. Twilight took her out of her trance and pointed towards Celestia. “Celestia what are you doing on your own accord!” shouted Luna. Celestia looked behind her to find the scowl of Luna and her student next to her. “I am doing Equestria a favor by taking away the overmind and the zerg once and for all!” she stated darkly. “The hydralisk left the opening full on charge!” ordered Celestia, but they didn’t budge. She stared at them before realizing they were staring at something out of fear. She turned her head towards where they were staring to find a platoon of brood lords above Luna and her platoon. Luna looked above her to find the platoon stationed there and looking towards Celestia’s Solar platoon ready to fire. Luna awaited for her sister to surrender and stop. But a roach unburrowed in front of Twilight and gave another scroll to her. Both princesses look at Twilight who took the scroll, read it and giving it back casually. “The overmind says you have control over the brood lords for a while.” and retook her position. The roach burrowed and went off to patrol inside the forest again. Princess Celestia looked furious while Luna had a smug look. “Celestia stand down, the overmind sent Twilight the letter to inform me that I had control over these brood lords for a short while. Now if things get heinous I would have no choice but to let them attack you, because your arrogance and ignorance of knowing the full picture!” Celestia had no choice, her platoon would fall under both brood lord and lunar platoons. But more importantly, Twilight, Luna and Rainbow had sided with the zerg swarm. “No, you, Twilight and Rainbow were corrupted by the overmi...” “Celestia I can’t be corrupted because you saw me coming here on my own, and you were keeping guard of Twilight so she can’t be a candidate. Rainbow, I didn’t see anything out of the norm since she is the bearer of Loyalty.” Celestia wanted to retort but couldn't because of the sudden appearance of the overmind on the meadow. What Rainbow described of the overmind was correct in every way. Large fleshy and had a giant eyeball and the larvae was beside it like she said. “Bravo Luna Bravo! I say you would make a better monarch than Celestia considering she had to live with the guilt of sending you to the moon and the constant political jazz. She is currently unstable in my eyes, I say give her a break and take responsibility as the co-ruler and go to her when needed or if you seek advice.” The overmind had a sincere look in his eyes. Luna smiled while Celestia was preparing a spell to eliminate it. “Celestia might I remind you that if you kill me right on the spot the zerg swarm will have to go on a rampage, not to mention what you will do will cause more damage than good. Stand down or I will make you stand down!” But Celestia ignored it completely and charged her spell. The overmind shrugged it off and unburrowed a spine crawler and incapacitated Celestia and blocking off her magic. The ponies gathered around saw their mighty ruler taken down by a mere tentacle. “Now, Luna if you be as to kindly escort our guest to her quarters. I still have much to learn and I have to ask if i could have permission to construct my hive inside the Everfree forest?” She thought for a while before nodding in agreement. “You can construct your hive in the Everfree. Though it isn’t part of Equestria you can fully take control of the forest if you’d like.” “You're too kind! Hey, about I let you gals take a look at the swarm. I can let Twilight talk with Lero. Rainbow with Herec and you can talk to me whenever you want princess!” She smiled, Twilight beamed and Rainbow hoof pumped the air. “Whelp, you two can come with me. I got a nydus worm ready for you. Luna I hope you can escort our guest as is or do you want your Lunar guard to escort her?” “No, I think we need her subdued as is. Can you let me control it so that we can easily transport her?” “Of course! I will have to retake control of my brood lords. But I will let you control a few mutalisk and corruptors to use as escorts. And they can patrol the perimeter of your sister’s tower.” She ‘ooh’d’ in awe. “Well that is quite useful. I hope I can convince my sister to form an alliance with your swarm.” she smiled genuinely, which the overmind returned happily. “Yes, princess let’s! Oh and can you inform Equestria of our presence. I know some may not take this lightly because of the changeling invasion and how we look. Now off ya go! Oh and have a few overseers and overlords to transport your platoon. Their like chariots but more efficient, and they can breath in space!” “Of course, and I really think my sister misunderstood you. Youre so friendly and welcoming, you trust us to even have a few of your kind to lend even for a while. And one more question.” “Yes?” “Are your swarm just mindless to serve you and the swarm?” she asked, making me think for a while. “Honestly, I don’t know. Ask Lero here, I just got my powers three days ago. But my honest opinion, I can create my swarm to have mind of their own but still obey me, so no their not mindless and the ones I have now aren’t completely mindless. They serve yes, but they also care. When they saw Rainbow black out they started to ask permission to help her, which I gladly gave.” She sighed, and gave a satisfied look. She thanked them and left with the mutalisk, corrupter, overseer and overlord escorting them. The overmind smiled inside, then looked at the two mares who were still here beaming with excitement. “Now girls. Lero is a cerebrate, one of the commander the previous overmind created. Herec is the evolution master, he specializes in evolving the swarm like no other. Now off you go to the nydus canal you go!” The overmind and Lero burrowed off towards the forest while the girls cautiously moved towards the mouth of the nydus worm. When they got to the clearing. Lero was waiting for them patiently and started to inform us about the swarm and how it works. Twilight was a little depressed that she didn’t bring something to take notes, but beggars can’t be choosers. ===================================================================== I was learning from Herec while Lero informs Twilight and Rainbow about the swarm. Since Luna gave me the O.K and the right of the forest, I can finally start the hive. I had some zerglings scout for any minerals and found a bunch in the mountain and the general area. I built hives where there were a large sum of minerals and continued to build more structures. I had some overseers to find some vespene gas while I was building. My swarm was growing by the minute. For the vespene, they were scattered everywhere. I had to use nydus worms to make mining more efficient. I’ve already evolved my main hive to a lair and was gaining more larva thanks to the queens i had stationed nearby. Rainbow and Twilight were still talking with Lero but I didn't mind. I asked Herec if he can create some units from scratch and was rewarded with a simple ‘yes’. Creating a unit from scratch is fairly easy for us zergs, because we either improve upon already existing units or we improve on non-zerg units which helps us completely. But creating one from square one is a little difficult, but possible nonetheless. When Twilight and Rainbow were done ‘chatting’ with Lero. They started to talk with Herec. He didn’t mind much but excused himself because of some ‘certain’ project. They didn’t mind, and decided to talk to me instead. “Hey, do you have a name instead of just ‘overmind’? Because, I would rather say my friends name instead of just the title.” Rainbow asked, I beamed at her before my eyes changed to look at the ground. “I don’t really have a name right now...” I said sadly, Rainbow frowned but beamed enthusiastically and said “How about me,the girls and princess Luna give you a named? Better off with a name than just ‘overmind’ “. I beamed at the idea of the mane six and princess Luna giving me a name. “Deal!” She smiled and went off towards Ponyville. Twilight was staying though observing the swarms work, structure and unit. I morphed back into a human and walked towards her. She looked behind to find me and smiled, then gestured to sit next to her. “So Twilight, how’s the hive doing so far?” I asked, getting a smile from her. “Well, I can honestly say that this is better than any ant colony I know of.” she said jokingly, I smiled at her enthusiasm to learn. “Well, Twi got any questions for me?” she smiled and nodded vigorously. “Okay, okay. Slow down cowgirl, what did you want to ask me first?” “Well I just wanted to know about you and about all this. I heard Lero talking about the swarm’s history but I like to know more than just history.” I nodded and started to tell my tale. She was shocked at first but understood on how I know how to operate the hive without me interfering. I then told her about the zerg’s structure in general, whcih she appreciated. After a long course of questions I was left with a large, and large, sum of minerals and vespene. “Tomorrow is going to be a great day!” I thought enthusiastically. Tomorrow we get to see more.... ===================================================================== Earth Chicago Time 14:50,20 I was playing a silver match on Starcraft and was winning rapidly. I was playing as protoss while my opponent was a terran. He was struggling to say the least but was keeping up fairly quickly. When we reached the mid game time, I sent all my combat unit to his bases one by one. He didn’t have any defense but a bunker and a few missile turrets. I won the game as per usual. I typed ‘GG’ which he returned kindly. I turned off my game and headed for bed, but... I suddenly felt darkness consuming me and blacked out. ===================================================================== I wake up on board something. I recognized the color of yellow on the walls and ceiling and I was laying on something comfortable. I got up and felt that my whole body had changed. I found a mirror on the far side of the room and decided to see if my theory was correct. When I got off of bed, I instantly felt my legs changing. I felt higher, stronger and more intelligent. But i couldn’t feel my mouth. I could breath, but I didn’t have a mouth. I walked hastily towards the mirror to find that I changed into a protoss. I had clothing that resembles that of an executor. It was yellow like any other protoss uniform but looked a little egyptian. The door opened with a small “Tssh” and came in a praetor. He looked at me before nodding and headed back outside. I sighed and looked around my room. It was fairly large. The cabinet was beside the door, the bathroom was on the left side of the bed with a nightstand on the right. There was a desk, which was fully stocked and a few decors on the walls. I then decided to head outside. The praetor was waiting for me, he looked at me before gesturing me to follow him. “En taro Tassadar executor, I hope that you were briefed about the new infestation of the zerg.” “I’m afraid that I wasn’t informed. We have the time praetor, what’s the situation?” He nodded and resumed walking “The zerg has infested on Equis a land of multi-colored equine, griffons, canine and large reptile. Our sensors indicate a new Overmind.” he said darkly. “The overmind is creating his hive in secret. He is forming his swarm inside a well sheltered forest and hasn’t made contact with the locals yet.” I raised an eyebrow and said “May we send some observers in Equis, praetor. I believe I have a small suspicions that I have seen this planet.” He nodded “Already done executor. The deck is near may we proceed?” I nodded and entered the door. I found the deck surprising and awe inspiring. It was beautiful. A large glass window showed the planet completely. The deck was busy with cybernetics and drones flowing. I smiled and headed off to the main dashboard. “Praetor, I would like to see what the observer sees.” He nodded and pressed a few switches and a screen came in to view. I stared slack jawed at the sight. “It looks exactly like My little pony. Why would the overmind infest.....” I then suddenly realized something... “The overmind is a brony... like me...” I then proceeded to facepalm, receiving a confused look from the praetor. “Praetor.... send down a warp prism. I believe my theory is correct, and a new one has resurfaced. I would like to have escorts and scan the area for any large amount of mineral and vespene.” He looked at me, then proceeded to order the crew. “Today is going to be a heck of a day...” When my escort and the warp prism were on standby, I was teleported from my carrier to the opening of the Everfree forest. I glanced around to find any trace of the zerg, I decided that I want to see the mane six before going inside. “I want a perimeter check everyone, I’m heading out to see if the locals have seen anything suspicious.” They all nodded and went off to secure the area. Ponyville looked exactly like the show, but bigger. I found the library easily, the boutique, bakery and the farm. “Twilight would have notes of suspicious activity. I should go there first.” I then headed off towards the library. Everypony was staring at me to say the least. I was dressed in armor, I was tall and I had no mouth. To say the least they were frightened, confused and curious. When I reached the library I was greeted with a safe haven from all the stares. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rainbow were gathered around the libraries table where the horse statue was usually laid. Rainbow was the first to greet me, scowling at me. Applejack just looked frightened with Fluttershy. Rarity was beaming with excitement, over my attire.... while Pinkie was being Pinkie. “Where is the lavender mare named Twilight Sparkle?” I asked politely. Everypony stared at me, I guess me speaking without a mouth isn’t an everyday occurrence but what can you do? Rainbow was the first to recover and started to scowl harder at me “What do you want with Twilight, huh?” I stared at her and took a step inside “I want to know if there were any strange activity, something involving an insectoid race or something called the overmind.” She stared at me before glaring daggers at me “So you're the protoss Lero was talking about! I won’t tell you where Twilight or the overmind, I won’t let you take him away!” I grabbed my side and started to laugh on the floor. Rainbow started to get very agitated and hesitated to lunge at me. The mares looked confused to some extent. “You thought I was going to take him away?! God I would never thought of that even if it was my mother!” “Wait, so you’re not planning on take him away?” Rainbow asked hesitantly. I smiled at her genuinely and said “Of course, I would never think of it. I just want to meet him!” She smiled, I felt my protoss heart melting “Uhhh.... okay. Follow me I hope he won’t freak out because of you.” “I wouldn’t want that scene to happen either.” When we reached the opening, I asked my zealots for any disturbance. “We hear a few banging noises but nothing serious.” “Good, I want to beat his mineral and vespene depot before he takes it all.” Rainbow started to scowl at me “What do you mean ‘beat his mineral and vespene depot’! I thought you wanted to meet him not to start a fight!” I laughed at her, which made her scowl even more. “Rainbow, when I mean ‘beat’, I want to surpass him in a friendly game of ‘who gets the more resources’ and ‘who gets the last resources’.” She raised an eyebrow before facehoofing. “I won’t understand a single thing you guys play.” “So where is your colt friend at?” I teased her, she blushed intensely “N-n-no! He isn’t my colt friend I SWEAR! We just met!” I started to tease her further “Ever heard of love at first sight?”. My zealot started to join in the laughter, but discretely. She realized that I was teasing her and started to pout. “HHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNGGGG!” Me and my zealots started to resist the urge to hug her adorableness. She stared at us confusingly before showing us the path to the overmind. I stared slack jaw at the biggest hive cluster you will ever see. There was hives nearly everywhere, structures, units everywhere! “Yo zelly what brings you in my humble abode yo!” I looked at the source of the voice to find the overmind with it’s large eyeball. It was on a good hill to watch the hive and control it with ease. “Do you like bananas?” I asked casually. He raised a metaphorical eyebrow before saying “Do you know where I could find them?” “ON THE MOOOOOOOOON!!” we said at the same time, laughing. “So what’s your protoss name, I don’t have one except ‘Overmind’.” “Looks like we have the same problem, I don’t have one except ‘Executor’.” “Shame...” He looked deep in thought before shooting out. “Thats it!” he shouted. “What is?!” “Princess Luna and the mane six can give you a name like me!” he started to morph into something. “Uuuhh... sure, but... What are you doing?” He ignored me and started to bounce happily. I chuckled and went off to calm the boy. “Oi, we’re still in the hive. My zealots are laughing their behinds off and I can see your evolution master and cerebrate laughing too.” He glanced around to find that his comrades were indeed laughing at him. Blushed and smiled sheepishly, and stopped bouncing around. “Good, now how about we head to Canterlot. Oh and where can I find a suitable place to start off a base?” “Well theres a large mineral field up north near Trottingham and a large reservoir of vespene towards the badlands.” “Thanks. Well i’m off to tell my praetor of my suspicions. Oh and how did you get here? I hope it’s the same as mine.” I asked suddenly. “Well how did you get here, I got here when I was replaying some campaign on SC II.” he answered “Mine was more or less the same. I was playing SC II on a silver match and won, went to bed then fell unconscious.” “Allies?” “Allies.” We shook hands and nodded. I left off towards my warp prism and left with my zealots in tow. Tomorrow is going to be a heck of a day. Author's Note Pre-reading done by James M.!
The new arrivalThe executor got back to his carrier shortly after leaving the forest. “Executor, have your suspicions been correct?” he turned around to find his praetor waiting. “Yes, praetor. My suspicions were correct. The overmind and I are currently allies. The new overmind has the same intelligence and goal as I and are battling to see who has the biggest economy.” The zealots that were following the executor, laughed discreetly. “Pray tell, executor. I do not understand. How can the zerg possible ally us, even the overmind!” The executor looked at his praetor and smiled “Did I mention that the overmind is completely new on how to control his swarm, and was dragged from his world to lead them?” The praetor thought for a moment before acknowledging his statement. They headed towards the deck and opened the dashboard’s map. “Praetor I would like a base built here and here.” He pointed towards Trottingham and the dragon badlands. “Scan these areas for minerals and construct them there. Also, the overmind currently has a diplomatic relationship with one of the monarchs of Equis. Me and him will try to gain both monarch’s trust to successfully expand without worries.” He nodded, and sets off some beacons on Trottingham and a large area of the dragon badlands. “Executor, how did the overmind receive a diplomatic relationship with the monarchs of Equis? The zergs aren’t the race the most comprehensible.” The executor nodded and headed towards the hangar “Praetor, I will answer your question later. For now create an outpost near the capital and proceed to mine minerals nearby.” The praetor nodded and sets off. “Set a course to the capital. I would like to talk with the monarchs.” a nearby zealot saluted, then sets a course for the warp prism. “The prism is nearby the capital now executor, would you like an escort?” a zealot asked “Correct, I would like four immortals, two archons, two dark templars and five zealots.” “As you command.” he saluted and went off. The executor reached Canterlot with relative ease, a few guards were stationed at the main gate and hasn’t realized his landing. “On me.” the executor ordered, receiving nods and ‘yeses’. He started to march towards the main gate, making the guards stationed unsheath their weapons. “State your business!” one of them ordered. “I am here to talk to either princess Luna or princess Celestia. I mean no harm, but if any of you show any signs of hostility we won’t hesitate.” A few guards gulped, leaving the one who talked without support. “You may proceed. Send a message to princess Luna!” the remaining guards saluted and went off to do their task. The gates opens up to reveal Shining Armor. The executor beamed and extended a hand to him. He was hesitant at first before accepting it. “Evening captain Armor, I believe you are here to escort us to the princess?” the executor asked casually “How can you be so casual at a time like this! Princess Celestia was injured and all you can say is if we're here to escort you!” he stated angrily. “Now, captain Armor. I didn’t have the knowledge of princess Celestia being incapacitated nor is this a casual meeting. Now I need to speak with the princess post haste.” He fumed but escorted us anyways. He gestured my escort to follow and went off towards the castle. The crowd were, to say the least, disgusted... He expected them to beam that another race may be more sophisticated than the commoner. But meh, beggars can’t be choosers. He shrugged them off and continued to walk. When they reached the castle gate, the guards were hesitant but opened anyway. “Captain Armor, are we heading towards their quarters or the dining hall?” he asked, making Shining to turn towards him. “We are heading towards princess Luna’s quarters as to not disturb princess Celestia.” the executor nodded before heading off. A dark templar appeared in front of him and bowed respectfully. “Executor, there appears to be a few corruptors and mutalisks patrolling a tower. Should we destroy them?” “Negative, templar. We are currently allies with the zerg swarm of Equis and I will get an answer from him.” He nodded and went back to the void. The guards were staring at us, before he gestured them to continue. The guards were hesitant but complied. We were nearing a dark blue door with a crescent moon. The executor smiled “Princess Luna’s quarters, if not her cutie mark giving it away I think this might be the lunar barracks.” Shining was the first to approach the door and knocked. “Come in!” came the muffled voice of Luna. Shining nodded towards us, gesturing us to come in first. When the executor entered in Luna was writing on her desk and the room looked like a mess. “Princess Luna, may we speak in a more cleaned environment?” he asked jokingly, she nodded and smiled, then left the unfinished paper on her desk. “Yes, let’s.” “Now, why is that Celestia is incapacitated?” The executor asked, starting the conversation. “Well, she didn’t ask for both me and her permission to head off towards the Everfree forest to take care of a ‘disturbance’.” He nodded and continued to walk. “Is the disturbance perhaps the overmind?” She nodded and stopped on her track. “How do you know about the overmind?” she asked angrily. He shrugged “Maybe it’s because I talked to him.” She sighed and continued to walk. “So what do you want to talk about?” she asked. “Well I wanted to know if I can construct a base here in Equestria on Trottingham and another on the dragon badlands.” she gasped “The dragon badlands? Why would you want to build a base there!” “Don’t worry about us, we can easily take care of ourselves. As for why, there is a big reservoir of vespene gas located there.” We reached the dining hall shortly after. “I understand, and how did your meeting with the overmind went?” she asked curiously. I smiled and giggled a little, making her raise an eyebrow. “It was a very fun experience, we said a joke that only a few people in the galaxy knew and that’s how the meeting went so smoothly.” She smiled, while a waiter came in. “What may I have for you, princess?” she asked patiently. “I would like to have a daisy caesar salad, please.” the waiter looked at the executor before realizing that he didn’t have a mouth. “I would like a glass of water please.” She raised an eyebrow before nodding and heading off to get our respective ‘meals’. “So what was the joke all about?” asked Luna. The executor smiled “Do you like bananas Luna?” She raised an eyebrow and went with it. “I don’t know if I like bananas.” “So you're saying you're a pony that doesn’t know if she likes bananas? I know where you can found out if you don’t know.” “And pray tell, where may that be?” “ON THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN” came out a hydralisk in the most comical under the dining floor. The executor fell out of my chair and grabbed his side laughing. Luna got out of her and started to use the chair as a weapon. His escort stared at the hydralisk in confusion, while the zealots fell and laughed with him, un-discretely. “Yo executor, any idea of who I am?” asked the hydralisk. “No, I don’t. Please enlighten me.” the executor said sarcastically. The hydralisk grinned evilly “I am your worst nightmare BLEHEHEHEHE!” then lunged playfully at the executor. “EEP!” screamed pathetically the executor. The executor’s escort was in disarray, the immortals didn’t know what to do, the archons were trying to stop the zealots from dying of laughter, the dark templars were nowhere to be found. Luna’s guards were laughing, while Shining Armor went in panic mode. The hydralisk was tickling the executor playfully while Luna was still holding the chair. The executor was crying from tears, and the hydralisk decided that he had enough fun for now. “So zelly how’s diplomacy working for ya?” “Can you quit with the accent zergy, and fine until you showed up.” The hydralisk pouted and crossed his claws. The executor laughed at the sight to find one of the galaxies most feared enemy pout like a child. The zealots and lunar guards saw that and went off to die laughing. The archons gave up on helping them and went to pout. Luna and Shining didn’t know what to do. The whole room was either a hostile, comical or casual environment. They both looked at each other and chuckled nervously. “So what do I owe the visit from a pouting hydralisk?” started the executor, making the hydralisk to smile. “I was just here to make the air a little more friendly while you're here zelly.” “Well zergy I think you did a very fine job doing that, you nearly killed my zealots and Luna’s guard from laughter, and that’s saying something!” They both laughed and hugged each other. The executor sniffed the air and placed a hand on his face. “You smell like messed up cologne.” the hydralisk sniffed himself before fainting. Everyone in the room stare at the unconscious hydralisk. “It... just.... fainted....” said an archon. “I believe we are under a very high drug.” said an immortal. “We believe so.” nodded the archon. Luna glanced at the archon and smiled “You having the same problem of the ‘we’?” The archon glanced at the princess and shook his head “No, archons are formed if two high templars merge into one. That is why we use the ‘we’.” The princess pouted “I guess i’m the only one who used the royal ‘we’...” The evening went fairly well, princess Luna gave the executor the permit to construct a base nearby. “It may benefit us, if the gryphons decide that the treaty is over with since Trottingham is near the borders.”. She also asked the dragon ambassador if the executor may have a permit as well which he gladly gave. The dragon ambassador was frightened at first when he saw the unconscious hydralisk on the floor but shrugged it off. “What kind of dragon is it?” “He isn’t a dragon....” The ambassador raised an eyebrow and examined the hydralisk further. “Indeed he isn’t....” The hydralisk woke up yelling bloody murder and ‘Yick yick yick yick!’ his way towards the executor. The ambassador raised both his eyebrows while the executor laughs at the scene. “Zelly what’s a dragon doing in the castle, and why do I still stink!” He chuckled, while the ambassador glares at the cowering hydralisk. “Zergy, the ‘dragon’ is the badlands ambassador. To why you still stink, it’s because we left you there until you wake up.” The hydralisk glared at him, before staring at the ambassador. “So did Zelly ask for a plot of land in the badlands?” the ambassador nodded, and trotted off outside. “Whelp, Zelly. I’m off to create more units and expand my hive inside the Everfree. Hope that we enjoy our stay, eh?” “Yes, I would love to stay as long as you don’t create some pranking units.” The hydralisk pouted “Don’t forget our meeting for the I-need-a-name-because-it-doesn’t-fit-me.” The executor chuckled “Wouldn’t want to leave the seven mares hanging do we? What time is the meeting?” The hydralisk shrugged, and went off towards the door “Better ask Luna. I’m too lazy to make a schedule and i’m too busy learning and controlling the hive.” “That sucks, well bye Zergy!” the executor waved and was returned by the hydralisk happily “You too Zelly!” then left off towards the Everfree forest. “How about I do a little prank when Celestia gets her facts right?” ===================================================================== Earth Montreal Time 17:00,56 I was playing a custom game of Probes vs Zealot and was winning as usual. The game was fairly simple, construct a mining base and defend against the zealot, a little like cat and mouse. The other players were raging about feeders and beginners, but I didn’t mind. The game was nearing it’s end, getting a few rage quitters made the game boring over the course of the match. I decided that I had enough and ‘GG’ everyone. They all said their goodbyes to me, then left. I then went online to find if my friend Jonathan or Jack were online. I was a little depressed that they broke their promise of a 1v1v1 match but they were always busy. I sighed and closed my computer. I then headed off towards my Ipad and opened at the recent episode of My little pony before the power, and the Ipad blacked out. Then I started to feel a bit woozy and slept on my couch. ===================================================================== He wakes up on a very comfortable bed. “Wait, I slept on my couch. Who was at my apartment? How did I get the most comfortable bed in Quebec?” he thought to himself, glancing at his new room. “This isn’t my bedroom... Where the hell am I?” He jumps out of his bed and looks inside the dresser. He finds something that resembles the uniform of Gerard Dugalle in Starcraft I. He smiles when he found that there was also a hat placed there. He put them all on and started to test them out. He finds a mirror on the far edge of the room and started to head towards it. “I look badass...” he admired himself. He finds an old smith and wesson revolver and picked it up. “This is the most powerful revolver in the world...” he placed the revolver in his pocket and headed towards the door. It opened with a small “Tsssh” and a few steam cloud were visible. He finds himself in a metal corridor. “This looks like the inside of the Hyperion except more advanced... Whoever built this had a lot of time on his hand.” he then took a step outside of his room and looked side by side. He finds someone dressed like Matt Hornet and saluted to him. “Commander, we have a visual of a protoss carrier, would you like to make contact sir?” The ‘commander’ stares at him before nodding and gestured him to lead the way. The man nodded and walked towards the deck. “Sir, would you like a briefing of the situation?” The commander looked at him for his rank and found he was at the rank of Corporal. “Correct, corporal. What is the situation?” he nodded and continued walking forward. “The protoss is stationed at the planet called Equis, we believe that they found a new overmind and went off to exterminate it. However we have been observing them from the past six days and found that they haven’t sent in a complete force yet.” “What do you mean by ‘complete force’ corporal?” “They haven’t send in their cavalry sir, it seems they want to try diplomacy for a change.” I raised an eyebrow and stared at him “Corporal, you do know that the Khalai protoss has a strict rule to exterminate all protoss. I know they changed a few things, but there would have to be a strong gap to keep them for using diplomacy for a change.” The corporal nodded, then they reached the deck in time. “Open the dashboard.” the corporal ordered. The dashboard showed a large battlecruiser, a carrier and the planet. “Corporal, are there any sentient life on this planet?” The corporal smiled “Glad you asked commander. You might find this weird, but Equis is inhabited by colorful ponies, gryphon and dragons. The scanner has also picked up some other sentient race underground or inside some mountains.” The commander stared at him before beaming up. “Corporal send in a dropship SAP. I would like an escort and an outpost built as well. I believe I know why the zerg and the protoss haven’t got knives at each others throat. And I also believe that I may have seen this planet before.” “Right away sir! You heard the man get the comm link up, get the SCVs and supply we are heading out!” “Sir, follow me to the hangar. I believe you are still trying to get used to your new battlecruiser?” The commander nodded and walked out with the corporal. Their walk towards the hangar was set in silence. When they arrived they were created with several dropships and medivacs loaded. “Corporal I would like to have one dropship in my command, leave all the rest here until I order them, understood?” The corporal was hesitant before saluting and heading off. “Alright, boys! I think the overmind and the protoss are having a small tea party because they are on a planet with pastel colored homosexual horses! I would not like any of you heading off to hug one, ask to keep one or even ask to kill one of em. Now we are going to get the bottoms of this, off we go lads!” The trip to Equis was fun, sadistically fun... The marines, firebats, marauders and medics were either shivering, talking or sleeping. They kept talking about a possible large scale battle going on down Equis. Others were shivering out of fear, they were veterans for pete sake! The other drank himself to sleep out of fear. The commander smiled and waited for the ETA. “Sir there seems to be a small settlement, should we land nearby?” the pilot asked through the intercom, waking up the drunk marine. “Can you show me what the settlement looks like?” he asked, making the dropship’s inhabitants shiver. “Right away sir.” A small screen popped up and he finds the town of Ponyville. He smiles and gave the pilot the okay to land nearby. “ETA fifteen minutes.” The marines checked their gears and started to get ready. The commander looked at his smith and wesson and sighed. “Hope this day doesn’t end in tears.” and placed his revolver back into his pocket. “Alright boys, put your weapons on safe and wait for my orders for weapons hot!” they all nodded and headed outside. He looked around to find an executor staring at them unamused while he was standing beside a cross armed (clawed?) hydralisk, who was pouting profoundly and glaring at the protoss. The commander chuckled at the childish hydralisk and pushed the thought to pinch him. “I’m telling you Zelly, I won the bet you owe me fifteen bits!” the hydralisk said to the protoss. “And I’m telling you that you forgot to clean yourself up!” shouted the protoss. The commander coughed to get their attention, but was ignored. “I’m proud to say, as a zerg, that I cleaned myself thoroughly after our meeting with the ambassador!” stated proudly the hydralisk. “And I’m telling you that whatever shampoo you used, stinks like hell!” “Anyone going to let me join?” asked the commander, making the executor and hydralisk staring at him. “NO!” they shouted in sync. They both looked at each other before brofisting. The commander eye’s widened at the sacred ritual of brofisting. The hydralisk slithered closely to the commander. “Damn the executor is right, but he doesn’t smell that bad on zerg terms...” “Do you like bananas?” “What?” asked the commander quizzically, and raising an eyebrow. “Do.You.Like.Bananas?” The commander stares at the hydralisk before realizing the joke. “Yes. But do you know where I could find them?” Both the executor and the hydralisk smiled. “Yes, yes we do would you like to know?” The commander nodded and inhaled with the hydralisk. “ON THE MOOOOOOOOOOONNNN!” “BEEEEEEE-YEEEEEEEEEETCH!!!!!!!!” The commander, hydralisk and executor stared at each other before looking towards Canterlot and finding a grey pony flying towards the moon. We all stared slack jawed at the sight and shrugged it off. “Let us not mess with Celestia for now...” said the hydralisk. “Agreed...”
The day of renewal“So... anyone of you from Montreal?” the commander asked both the executor and hydralisk. “Anyone forgetting 'bout us?” asked a medic. The three leaders looked towards the escort and stared at them curiously. The commander perked up and took a step towards them “Oh! Go and ask the corporal to send in the SCVs to build an outpost, ask him to make a scan for any mineral and vespene gas and build the bases there.” they all nodded and went back inside the dropship. “So any of you from Montreal?” “Nah, I’m from Chicago.” said the executor. “I’m from Vancouver.” the commander smiled at the hydralisk before glaring at both of them. “Did your names used to be Jonathan and Jack?!” They both recoiled and look at each other and hugged together. “Michael?!” they both said in unision. The commander nodded angrily and tapped his foot on the ground. “You both forgot about our 1v1v1!” “Uhhh.....” they both looked at each other and rubbed their backs sheepishly. “Well, we were transported here so I guess that counts as an excuse.” The commander glared at the hydralisk making him back away. “Now that we are here, and since we cannot do our 1v1v1 anymore, how about we head over to Canterlot?” “How would you want to go to that hell hole! Celestia hates my guts and probably doesn’t know that you guys exist!” the hydralisk protested, shivering and sweating. “What could possibly go wrong?” said the executor, making the already frightened hydralisk shake more. “Nah, dude! I have bad memories baaaad memories!” The executor raised an eyebrow and stared at the hydralisk “The only bad memories is you fainting from your own stench, cowering from a dragon and insulting him and not to mention getting inside the dining room uninvited!” “I go where I please, executor” the hydralisk made a mock salute and did a raspberry at the executor. The executor sighed of defeat and gave up. “Let’s just go to Canterlot and hope that whoever said bitch was not Celestia but Twilight and the flying earth pony was flung by the cutie mark crusaders...” The hydralisk and commander nodded and set a course to Canterlot. “Let’s just get this over with...” sighed the hydralisk, making the executor smile sadistically. “I will have fun tormenting him in Celestia’s presence!” The trip to Canterlot was fun in brony term. The hydralisk and executor both informed the commander about getting a name from princess Luna and the mane six. The commander agreed and talked about his battlecruiser stationed in space. The executor didn’t mind and asked the hydralisk of any means of galactic transportation. “I still have to ask Lero about morphing a Leviathan, but Herec says that I can create a more durable one if I let him.” “Alright girls, Canterlot is in sight. Prepare your daily dosage of ponies.” said the hydralisk jokingly. The commander and executor glared at him. He shied away and resumed slithering in shame. The commander and executor both stopped after realizing something. “Zergy, why didn’t you summon a nydus worm to bring us faster to Canterlot?”. The hydralisk turned back towards them and raised an eyebrow “You never asked if you guys wanted a ride.” The commander and executor glared at him and started to sprint towards Canterlot. “Hey wait up!” the hydralisk shouted, morphing quickly into a zergling and catching up with the two running humanoids. The guards stationed at the gate stared at the three creatures sprinting towards them. A guard panicked and sounded the alarm. Everypony in the vicinity ran inside homes, stores, bars and political buildings. The lunar guards that were stationed there shrugged and opened the gates. The royal guards and solar guards stared at the lunar guards that opened the gates for the three creatures making them panic further. The lunar guards raised an eyebrow and stared at the panicking ponies. “Bunch of pussies...” muttered one them, making the others nod and continued to patrol the Canterlot walls. The executor, commander and zergling smiled at the gate opening before them, and finding the guards panicking and ordering in disarray. The lunar guards that saw them merely waved, which they returned happily. Shining Armor then appeared on the wall and stared unamused at the three sprinting creatures. He shrugged and left the royal guards and solar guards without their captain and left them in disarray. “The princesses always forget to inform the public and the guard about these sort of things...” Shining Armor sighed and trotted towards his office and sat at his desk. “Better prepare for the complaints and danger report from the guards and nobles. To Tartarus explaining this to the populace, let the princesses get this over with before I lose my mind!” “I win! You guys owe me ten bits each!” the zergling smiled happily, making the two humanoids groan in defeat. “Hurry up! I want to be sent to the moon sooner than later...” he stated darkly. The commander shrugged and headed towards the insectoid. The executor smiled sadistically before joining them. The trip was more or less, uneventful. Nothing was on the streets of Canterlot, except for a few lunar guards and abandoned stalls. The zergling turns back into a hydralisk and slithers with the two humanoids towards the castle gates. The gate was, thankfully, guarded by the lunar guards. The entourage smiles at them, being the only guard corp that didn’t fear them and being the only un-ignorant bunch. The zerg and protoss both recognized some and waved at them. The patrol waved and continued on. “Here to see the princesses?” said the mare guard, unphased by the new arrival. “Who’s the new lad?” said the stallion, pointing towards the commander. The hydralisk and executor look towards the commander, and gesturing him to answer. “I’m the commander of the Terrans currently stationed here, and these sorry-excuses of leaders are my “brothers”.” The hydralisk and executor shift nervously, they turn their gaze towards the mountain and whistles innocently. The guards stare quizzically at the three humanoids, not finding the skit funny. “We’ll just let you in... Glad to have you guys back, Celestia just woke up!” the mare said gladly, making the hydralisk’s spine shiver. “Like I said before, “let’s get this over with...” he grumbled and met his faith. The others got in just fine, while the executor smiled mischievously. “This is going to become a fun day, indeed.” ================================================================================================= The castle was, better than ever. It still had the same tapestry, same old pottery and other castle-y thingies. They were all happily trotting towards Celestia’s quarters, minus “zergy”. A familiar sound was heard in the corridors of Canterlot castle, and hearing a few screams and stuff falling. The hydralisk had a deadpan look, while the commander and executor were both looking at him nervously. “Seriously?” he started nonchalantly, “Benny-freaking-Hill?” he stated, making the two humanoids both nod in unison. “If I was a stupid moron, I would have easily think this was a Scooby Doo skit.” He started to walked in the general direction of the “disturbance”, but it wasn’t as though somepony would just barge in and tell them what wa- A lavender alicorn, resembling a little like Twilight, ran past the three “morons”. Hydralisk had the biggest look on his insectoid face, the commander was wide eyed and the executor was making a failed jaw expression. “HELP! SOMEPONY, ANYPONY!” she shouted, “Yep, definitely Twilight.”. The two first arrivals both faint, the hydralisk drooling and the executor falling face first. The commander was just staring at the two comical “comedians” and expected Jeff Dunham making a snarky comment, and fail miserably. But, alas it didn’t came. The “creature” that was chasing the lavender mare, was an alabaster alicorn slightly taller than said mare and slightly more built. She was holding what appeared to be a bag of some sort, with a banana surrounded by a circle with a few snarky comments inside. It wasn’t as impressive as a Dollarama bag, but at least it was a bag. The lavender mare was visibly sweating, the corpse of an unconscious moon princess was sprawled out in the dining room. The commander was the only sane person in said room, and was visibly losing the battle to hug one pony. “Even if it’s Blueblood, please let me hug somepony!” he was struggling, even letting the snobbish snobby of the universe to even consider to hug. At least he can hug somepony, he would take the mane six over Blueblood anyday, Fancy Pants if he had to do a noble challenge. It wasn’t a battle of what to hug or what-not to hug, it was a battle of who can wake up first, the hydralisk or the psychic executor? ===================================================================== The hydralisk was the first to wake up, he was gasping, surprisingly; it was a deep and exasperated kind of gasping. He wanted to find out how the lavender book worm turned into an alicorn in the period of three weeks. He didn’t even have the time to watch season 3! The executor got up moments later, but was a bit calmer and a bit angry, he too wanted to know how a lavender adorkable mare got turned into a princess while he, and the other entourage, was out having the discussion of their lives about who will become the next ten million bits winner. Alas, the hydralisk was pale, his colored changed, and was struggling not to run for his insectoid life. The white alicorn was still busy chasing the mare for some reasons, and without the help and “guidance” of Luna, who was currently drooling, to prevent a certain “mare” from killing him. But all the hydralisk could do was make a snarky comment “So, who was the one to wake up the sprawled up princess?” that got the princess to wake up. “I’m not drunk, nor am I drugged!” she shouted, eyes widen. She was blushing when she saw the hydralisk on the ground, holding his serpentine stomach with his claws. Said larvae excuse gets up, and tries to make a dramatic pose with his serpentine body and poor actor skills “I WANTED TO HAVE CHILDREN!” “YOU WILL NEVER HAVE ONE YOU DOPE, YOU’RE AN INSECT AND A SORRY EXPLANATION FOR HUMANITY!” shouted a certain “somepony” from afar. “I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT!” shouted the “sorry excuse of humanity”. The hydralisk “walks” to the nearby infirmary, firstly: to heal himself, secondly: to find some hot nurse mares. “I hope I don’t find milk mare here...” finding nothing to do for his “long” trip to the infirmary, hydralisk one decides to look at the “scenery”. Finding everything poosh and boorish, he decides to call upon a great evil and funny man to the area. “OH GREAT DISCORD, I SUMMON THEE FOR I HAVE AN UNKEMPT MANE. OH ALMIGHTY ONE, PLEASE MAKE YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE BE KNOWN!” After five minutes of wait, the summon failed, and an anchor fails on the unlucky mare. Zergy had transformed into a mare, in mere nanoseconds and was now sprawled, bloody, with a beautiful nurse outfit, hat and all, and a nice blond touch. “WHY ME!” his entire shenanigans was now left untouched by a blank looking Luna, that was watching his weird dream from her nice comfy “poison” floor. “I would have think that his mind would be full of master plans, bloodlust and have a big warmonger brain....” Princess Luna, armed with her new found knowledge, continues to drink the poison of the world: Alcohol... Author's Note Sorry for the wait, I had this slight thing called "No motivation" thanks to the upcoming exams, and my lack of not finding a good story. Hope this sorry excuse of a story helps y'all get an understand of why zergs are best races, and protoss and terran are both stooped.
The day of renewal ( Executor's dream )“MAMA MIA!” The executor was the only one to wake up, really not the bucked up version made by our everyday zergy. He looks at the drooling hydralisk, who is blushing faintly, and has a forehead heating up. He smiles like the masochist he is. He looks around for any “lethal” objects to prank on the unlucky zerg larva. He finds the perfect candidate, a pristine and sharp looking mirror just by the end of the hall. He then proceeds to unhinge the darn thang from the wall, and stands it by the unconscious hydralisk. “This is going to be rad.” his glowing eyes were showing the great happiness that is about to come. He waits for a good five minutes, before pushing the mirror, and walking by whistling a happy tune. At a far distance, he could hear the satisfying breaking of glass, and looks behind him to see a very beautiful sight. The great anatomy of zergs splattered on display, underneath a now maroon red carpet. He then cups his ears, or something similar to ears, and listen attentively to the silence of the corridor. .... .... .... .... “MY SPINE!” shouted a muffled cry from a nearby area. The executor smiles, or attempts to, and hurries off towards a nearby dining hall were the famous “Liquor floor” is located. The executor has completed his objective of finding the all mighty “liquor floor” and is now proceeding to drink a cup of moonshine from the nearby alicorn. Said drinker has now performed a defense stance, protecting her precious load of poisoned liquid and spiked punch; she is obviously insane. “Oh great beast, I declare that your precious liquor a delicacy to my kin. I will now henceforth defeat you for thine poison to entertain my fellow brothers and sisters!” the executor said, making the dark alicorn snort a puff cloud. “WAKE UP YOU FOOL!” shouted the alicorn, making him jump back up to reality. Author's Note Zerg still best race... By the way, any of you have any idea why this isn't in any SC related groups, or even a crossover group... I'm pretty confused... 400+ views and still no adds... I FEEL WORTHLESS!!!
When funny men go serious, but goes back being complete jerks...By a flick of luck, both candidates jolts up from their “lucid” dream; gets up and tidy themselves up. The commander was trying hard not to laugh at the twos misfortunes, and was hiding behind the assailant who woke them up from their “awoken” state. “I just had the weirdest dream, and a zerg boner...” “I was dreaming of splattered zerg blood on the royal carpet...” The captain and covered princess both look at the polar opposites, totally unfazed at their shenanigans “Zergy” looks at Luna for a while, trying to figure out the weird liquid flowing downwards from the star night mare. The zerg overmind/ hydralisk, suddenly realized what kind of liquid is flowing down; and looks at Luna with a fatherly gaze, narrowing slightly. “Luna.” he started. “Y-Y-Yes?” she stuttered, feeling uncomfortable with the sudden change of expression. “Is that liquor I see, dropping freely from your mane.” he deduced sarcastically. She looked around to and fro, avoiding his gaze. He was judging her slightly, being his favorite pony; the hydralisk wants to stop at nothing, but to keep the moon princess pleased and in good health. Averting his gaze from Luna, he looks down at the unsteadily standing executor. He smiles a little, and kicks him off balance. The executor was not pleased, and seemed to change his blue eyes to that of red. Thinking it was the perfect time for a tactical retreat, the hatchling runs off towards the horizon, screaming profanities and being a complete jackass. He climbs the castle walls, and tries to find the white and purple alicorns that were present; not so long ago. He finally finds his targets, and tackles the purple alicorn from the hunting sun princess. And switches Twilight’s place of the hunted, to the executor. Revenges have been made this very day.... ================================================================================================= With the executor currently being occupied with, and Twilicorn in his grasp. He sets off on a great adventure of self discovery. And will now find a way to get rid of this third person nickname shtick, it really pisses him off. Now on his way to Ponyville, he asked Twilicorn to gather the rest of the Mane Six to the Golden Oak. As an impatient hatchling, he sets off annoying Spike; and reading random books. His thoughts were interrupte- I mean.... His antics were interrupted when the rest of the Mane Six barged into the door, one by one. Now the naming... begins... Author's Note Finally got this done... Sorry for the 2 month wait... Now, I want y'all to find a name for our friendly "Zergy" here, cause it's too time consuming finding something that sounds right with: the hatchling, the hydralisk etc... So, I would be ever pleased if you guys help me out! SHOUT OUT TO AlphaThroughZeta for reminding me of making an update...!!!! 3 days of 5 hour work! WASTED!!!!! Because I was too lazy, and studies to do. Revision to be made. Friendship shat- actually no... ANYWHO! Don't hate on me, cause my fingers aren't fast as yours... ... if you know what I mean...
The Benny Hill conspiracy. The Benny Hill conspiracy. “So... anyone of you from Montreal?” the commander asked both the executor and hydralisk. “Anyone forgetting us?” asked a medic.

The hydralisk and executor look towards the commander, and gesturing him to answer. “I’m the commander of the Terrans currently stationed here, and these sorry-excuses of leaders are my “brothers”.” The hydralisk and executor shift nervously, they turn their gaze towards the mountain and whistled innocently. The guards stare quizzically at the three humanoids, not finding any family resemblance. “We’ll just let you in... Glad to have you guys back, Celestia just woke up!” the mare said gladly, making the hydralisk’s spine shiver. “Like I said before; let’s get this over with...” he grumbled and met his faith. The others got in just fine, while the executor smiled mischievously. “This is going to become a fun day, indeed.” The castle was, better than ever. It still had the same tapestry, same chinas and other castle-y thingys. We were all happily trotting towards Celestia’s quarters, minus “zergy”. A familiar was heard in the corridors of Canterlot castle, and hearing a few screams and stuff falling. The hydralisk had a deadpan look, while the commander and executor were both looking at him nervously. “Seriously?” he started nonchalantly, “Benny freaking Hill?” he stated, making the two humanoids both whistle innocently. “If I was a stupid moron, I would have easily think this was a Scooby Doo skit.” He started to walked in the general direction of the “disturbance”, but it wasn’t as though somepony would just barge in and tell them what wa- A lavender alicorn, resembling a little like Twilight, ran past the three “morons”. Hydralisk had the biggest look on his insectoid face, the commander was wide eyed and the executor was making a failed jaw expression. “HELP! SOMEPONY, ANYPONY!” she shouted, “Yep, definitely Twilight.”. The two first arrivals both faint, the hydralisk drooling and the executor falling face first. The commander was just staring at the two comical “comedians” and expected Jeff Dunham making a snarky comment, and fail miserably. But, alas it didn’t came. The “creature” that was chasing the lavender mare, was an alabaster alicorn slightly taller than said mare and slightly more built. She was holding what appeared to be a bag of some sort, with a banana surrounded by a circle with a few snarky comments inside. It wasn’t as impressive as a Dollarama bag, but at least it was a bag. The lavender mare was visibly sweating, the corpse of an unconscious moon princess was sprawled out in the dining room. The commander was the only sane person in said room, and was visibly losing the battle to hug one pony. “Even if it’s Blueblood, please let me hug somepony!” he was struggling, even letting the snobbish snobby of the universe to even consider to hug. At least he can hug somepony, he would take the mane six over Blueblood anyday, Fancy Pants if he had to do a noble challenge. It wasn’t a battle of what to hug or what-not to hug, it was a battle of who can wake up first, the hydralisk or the psychic executor? The hydralisk was the first to wake up, he was gasping, surprisingly. It was a deep and exasperated kind of gasping. He wanted to find out how the lavender book worm turned into an alicorn in the period of three weeks. He didn’t even have the time to watch season 3! The executor got up moments later, but was a bit calmer and a bit angry, he too wanted to know how a lavender adorkable mare got turned into a princess while he, and the other entourage, was out having the discussion of their lives about who will become the next ten million bits winner. Alas, the hydralisk was pale, his colored changed, and was struggling not to run for his insectoid life. The white alicorn was still busy chasing the mare for some reasons, and without the help and “guidance” of Luna, who was currently drooling, to prevent a certain “mare” from killing him. But all the hydralisk could do was make a snarky comment “So, who was to wake up the sprawled up princess?” that got the princess to wake up. “I’m not drunk, nor am I drugged!” she shouted, eyes widen. She was blushing when she saw the hydralisk on the ground, holding his serpentine stomach with his claws. Author's Note Heads up! Need help with finding a name for the three idiots, any suggestions would be great! Put them in the comments belooow. And by the way, they are supposed to have either dragon, griffon, D-dog or pony related names depending on the character. Hydralisk = dragon, griffon and D-dog Commander = griffon, D-dog and pony. Executor = protoss, dragon and pony. By the way, for the executor being the only one having his race related name, is because I would rather not have some of the on board crew of the stationed carrier. Here's something to help you for the races! Dragons are a bit German, Nordic, Swedish, Polish and Chinese. Griffons are French, English, Russian and Portuguese. Ponies are English, French, German and Spanish. Diamond dogs are Spanish, Portuguese, American Indian and a hint of English. Hope this helps on finding names for these sorry sods! P.S - Future chapters may turn from large to medium to small, the constant flow of ideas coming into my head disrupts my field of thinking and imagining for future chapters for all my stories.
