The silence that was on each transport ship was nerve shattering. Now one spoke, the archon's where silent, the zealots where silent, the Reavers didn't beep or make noise. Everything was silent. They knew that they had, in the lust to weaken the overmind, shattered their own home world as they left to defend it. Hours passed as they formed up, and started to descend into Auir's atmosphere.
Suddenly their minds where filled with a single voice, Zeratul's. He spoke to them with a solemn fashion, and everyone listened intently, "Welcome, comrades, to Auir, you are about to begin the greatest moment of your lives. The Zerg have slaughtered your planet, killed your brethren, slaughtered your women and children, and defiled the holy ground of Auir with their own plague.
We are going to take it back. Every corner of this planet will be taken back, we will fight to the last man. We have used are honor as a tool towards victory, and now we are to set aside are beliefs in honor and glory. We are going to kill every single Zerg that has touched this planet, the Overmind will fall, we will water the grass with the Blood of the overmind, and burn its body and send its body into the cosmos. And, in the chance that we are unable to have victory, as much as I hate to say it. We will burn Auir, and the overmind" As Zeratul's mind left theirs, they bowed their heads, and then they all agreed together, "we will die before Auir is destroyed"
Suddenly they hit the Atmosphere, howling winds beat against their transports as the sun shined beyond them, even at the distance they where they could easily see the destruction that had faced AAuir. The ground itself was as purplish color, the ground was not visible in some parts, and the ground stemmed with a hideous ooze. The bodies of fallen protoss was rank throughout the planets surface, "that bastards" spoke Tarteris, "they will burn for this"
Tarteris looked out side his window, suddenly the transport beside his own erupted in flame, a scourge had embedded itself with the surface of the ship and then exploded. Suddenly hundreds of thousands of them appeared flying from the surface, "my god" spoke the pilot of Fenix's own transport. "Full thrust! Get us to the surface NOW!" the transports hit their full thrust and propelled themselves into the lower atmosphere. The scouts followed them closely releasing their antimatter missiles in a hail of fire, the scrouge's were met halfway and they where obliterated by the hail of weapons.
The scrouge's own liquid destroying their partners, now matter how effective this attack was, the scrouge's still made it through this barrier and about 5% of the transports where destroyed before they landed on the surface. The warrior's piled out, and Fenix yelled, "FORWARD BRETHERN!!!! FOWARD, FOR AUIR!!!" they all ran towards the Conclave building, they could see a mass of darkness
surrounding it and the knew that was where the overmind was going to manifest itself. They charged, head long into the Zerglings.
The zealots blades where out stretched they charged like spear men and the zerg's where impaled upon their blades, the dragoons moved while they where firing, keeping a half step behind the Zealots as they diced the enemy in front of them. their plasma charges burned their way into the carapace of the Zerg. The Templar's released hallucinations upon the zerg's, the zealots seemed to almost triple and they where heavily confused, and as this was done more Templar's released psionic storms, shredding the lesser minds of the Zerg.
The archons where combining their attacks and were splattering the enemy with their plasma attacks. Soon they had reached the center of the enemy, and soon they where battling enemies on all sides of them. They attacked and attacked again, the Zerg never stopped coming, but the Protoss where not fooling around, they were not doing, 'honorable' kills, they where mass slaughtering everything that approached them, and soon a large field of dead zerg's and protoss alike was left in their wake.
Fenix and his men where charging head long, ahead of the rest, they where relentless, they killed everything in their way, he himself was covered in Zerg blood his other men where as well, every time he swung his blade, blood flew from the blade itself. The Reavers had been outfitted with a field adjustment, they had twice as many wheels and this made them faster to move, about
as fast a the dragoons so they where able to loose their scarabs while still able to keep pace.
Tassader and his Templar's where focusing their minds heavily, they where constantly using a hallucination spell on the men to make it seem like the force was four times its normal size. The Templar's where also creating psionic storms on the hydralisks and ultralisks that tried to stem the protoss assault.
Zeratul and his dark Templar's where he most successful of all, they where moving cloaked throughout the ranks of the protoss men and they where killing everything that penetrated the protoss line. And Tarteris was on board the Carrier ship Arch-Sol, the carriers where filling the air that surround Auir, almost blotting out the sun in some parts of the fighting.
The Scouts gave them heavy support and only 5 carriers fell a minute. The Arbiters were recalling the troops that where slower then the others to the front lines, they even froze Zerg buildings so that they could advance faster, and let the carriers deal with them. The arbiters themselves gave a large area of cloaking and the zerg's were soon baffled that the protoss were attacking this heavily.
Zeratul say the conclave building and told them to go in their and see if, by some small chance that the judicators were still alive. As they charged their, more zerg came at them, the Ultralisks charged with their tusks out, however, the Archons moved infront of the Zealots and where able to take the majority of these beasts attention.
The zealots then continued to the conclave building with most of the other troops the Archons staying back to kill the bigger and stronger enemies, the reavers, who where slower, caught up with the fighting and were able to relieve the Archons and templars with their sacarbs.
As Zeratul got to the conclave building a large set of infested terran where waiting for him, 'bastards' he spoke to himself, and then cloaked, as did his other dark templar warriors, and they continued to enter the building, the infested terran charged the visable units and started to explode on impact, their kamakize style of attacking was somewhat new to the protoss.
And as a result of this many of them died because of their sucide. But soon the scouts came and relieved them with Air support. The Carriars making steady pace killing the hydralisks and sunken colonies that where murduring the protoss forces.
Zeratul reached the door to the man conclave building and threw the door open. As he did the site of a Terran came into view, he was still cloaked but he could see somewhat of a terran, with half of a zerg body, an Infested Terran he thought. He looked around and saw the severed and mutalitated bodies of the protoss leaders, and judicators, 'you bastard' he spoke to himself. He readied his blade and his other warriors did the same.
They charged this, Infested terran and were hell bent on killing it. their blades the only visable part of their attacking form they had a slight advantage over the enemy in this condition.
Suddenly, the figure vanished, 'Damn cerebrates' he told himself, suddenly a large vortex enveloped them, "what the hell?" Zeratul spoke aloud. Suddenly he was in a group of two judicators, "You survived!" spoke Zeratul, "Yes" they replied, "But everyone else is.. Dead" they spoke with much pain in their voice.
"I know" replied Zeratul, "We have come to cleanse this plague and soon we will" The judicators sat down and then told him, "The Cerebrates have taken bodily form on this planet. We are going to suffer greatly, we are now on Prothates, we will recall all of your forces to this place momentairly"
"That is very good" Zeratul spoke, "But we must hurry, we have the entire fleet here the 90% that left has come back, we are going to be a hard enemy to beat, the overmind knows this, we will die honorably, or win a great victory"
