The three rulers
The new arrival
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe 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...”
