Important Notes:
-I'm abusing Blizzard and Desler's characters some more.
-If you want more of this kind of shit, check this link: --here--.
-Again, I had nothing to do. Gold Bengalaas or bust. (Considering it's a story, it's coherent, and it features a badassed Stardraft-edited pic of an epic battle being fought out on a totally self-created landscape, I think it deserves one.. :))
-Part 1 can be found in an earlier battle report.
-This was written as a story, not actually played out. There is no "scenario", and the map doesn't really exist in its entirety. It's like making a movie- what you see in the screenshots is all there is. Nice illusion, eh?
-How did I do the BCs? One word: Stardraft.
-They're playing it like a team game, so when they say "I" and "We", they mean it as they say it. Try team games sometime, on large maps. (this plug brought to you by the Anti-Hunters-and-Melee coalition, now accepting members)
-Spell Tnassip's name backwards. :)
Part 2
By Billy
Urgh. Prots.
Now, we've never actually fought Prots before. Zerg, a few times. Tarsonians, yeah. The Prots usually keep to themselves. But we've seen em in action, and have a few at home. They're nasty, big fuckers with shields, bad tempers, and assorted types of meat cleavers- just like us.
And there was no way in hell our two tanks, bunker, and assorted other units could beat this horde. We all generally muttered "Fuck.", and I hoped we could summon back the dropship that brought us here before we became tiny little pieces. See ya, cloned marines, see ya, SCVs, see ya, Prots! But there's no way we'd get out in time.. not at this rate. I decided to make a dropship from the Starport, it would get us out of here quicker.. but we'll still never make it. The horde continued to advance, but stopped- just outside tank range. Don't advance, you goddamn Prots. Don't advance.
A hideous, scaly-faced alien came on our screens. "Who are you?", it asked with no mouth. "You are not of Tnassip. What are you doing here?"
"We're from the Sapient Expansion Fleet of Eden. We're here to colonize." The face on the screen was replaced by the round one of a human- hey, I recognize him. That's Jim Raynor. He's that badass who kicked Duran's butt. What's he doing way out here?
"Colonize, uh? Well, you sure came to the wrong place. We were chasing some Zerg when Tnassip's, then your signal came up."
"Well, Raynor, we don't like the Zerg or Tnassip any more than you do.", Howard said, betting that Raynor's semi-anarchist nature caused him to hate the UED Tnassip. "And this was supposed to be just another colony mission. Get those damn Protoss out of here and let's call a truce. If it's resources you want, take half, it's a big planet." I then heard something in Raynor's background.. an alarm of some sort. He was under attack. The Prots in front of us proceeded to retreat, back to whatever expansion or base needed help. I used our comsat at a point south-west of here, guessing where Raynor's base and the attacking force were. I found a large mixture of marines, tanks, and goliaths attacking a combined Protoss/Terran base... the attack supported by zerglings and hydras?! How the hell did Tnassip manage to ally with the zerg? Also, that's way too much shit. Tnassip must have used more than local resources to produce that kind of army. There was nothing we could do to help Raynor without putting our own situation in danger.
Raynor then shared his vision with us. I pressed a few buttons and did the same with him, and he saw how damn dirt-poor we are in the units department. Another factory was erected here, and we decided on Tanks and Goliaths with M&M backup, along with some wraiths.
The battle at Raynor's base was ugly. He had two bunkers shooting like crazy, getting shot at and getting repaired at the same time. The prots coming from behind did their job on the tanks, then the marines and medics with some casualties. After the Goliaths were dead, a very strange Carrier-type ship with very fucked up interceptors came out and laid waste to everything else. "What the fuck is that?", Sarah asked.
"That," Raynor said with pride, "is the Fenix."
"Shee-it."
Finally, we had an ally. But so did Tnassip. How the hell did he get those zergies on his side? I sent a comsat to the zerg- aha. There was a cerebrate up there, and it had a metal casing over it of some sort, surrounded by UED technicians. Too bad there's no ledges there to put siege tanks up on. But there's also some big ugly thing that's sort of like a spire... oh, crap.
We continued with the Tank/Goliath armada, and also manufacturing some Science Vessels with Irradiate capability. Our Armories optimized manufacturing for this area. Heh, heh, heh. Let's see those fuckers try their attacks now.
And, they did.
The zerg sent a good 20 hydras, 10 mutas, and 2 queens after us- a couple tanks died to broodling but that was it. Slam Slam SLAM! The queens were ripped out of the air, the mutas went poit, poit, poit, and the Hydras? Well, they just died. Tnassip sent in about 30 marines, 10 firebats, 5 ghosts, and 10 medics afterwards. The ghosts tried to lock down our tanks, but like everything else, they were turned to bloody smears. I licked my lips. Mmm, mmm, infantry. More like infants. If there was a breathable atmosphere on Enozraw, I would have taken off the helmet and started chowing down on the remains. I keyed my Nutri-Blood instead. Tastes like chicken, although it's synthesized.
"Well, when do we attack?", I asked my clone.
"Ah, not yet..", he said, comsatting both the zerg and Tnassip. The Zerg had guardians and devourers.. Tnassip had more land, no air.. and OH CRAP!! Tnassip's fleet is getting here! I saw about ten large red objects onscreen, gigantic BCs. "I think we better defend first.", he said, ordering the armories to continue weapons upgrading and the factories to make more Goliaths.
"Our fleet gets here in .. 4 minutes!", Sarah said, readying her Lockdown rounds.
"Raynor!", I yelled into the communications channel. "We've got big fuckin trouble!! The Zerg's goin Hydras and Tnassip's fleet is HERE!"
"Ah, shit, how big?"
"Ten BCs- at least."
"Keep makin Goliaths, we'll get some Scouts. Who are they attackin?" What would scouts .. oh, he means the Protoss "scout" ships. Scouts my ass. More like Air Warriors from Hell.
"Dunno." On the miniature map I could see a comsat being thrown down. The BCs and Guardians were here, all right. Heading straight towards Raynor's forces.
"Shit. It's you!!", Howard shouted. "Goliaths, get over there!" Then we saw the problem of a tight base. The Goliaths were having serious trouble getting their fat asses through the tank walls. We quickly unsieged the tanks and moved them forward, then brought out the Goliaths, Sarah cloaking and going with them. Thank god BCs in atmosphere are slow shits. Due to good timing and teamwork, our Gols and a few cloaked wraiths reached the enemy at the same time Raynor's Scouts and Fenix did.
Sarah pumped out two fat Lockdown rounds into the BCs and I idly wondered how much easier this would all be if we had developed the Lockdown here. Just for that, I made a Covert Ops place, and also another expansion for the hell of it. On our viewer we saw a shimmer on the screen.. Comsat, finding out our cloaked wraiths. Oh.. crap. That comsat also got Sarah. DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! A laser blast got aimed at her and bounced off her shield before she fled out of range, back to base..
But for the most part, the BCs were preoccupied. Very preoccupied, I may add. 10 BCs (there were really 12, but Sarah locked two down) and 12 Guardians vs 16 fully upgraded (sorta lined up, fuck tight spaces) Goliaths, 4 wraiths, 8 scouts, and a Fenix is a close battle. The Guardians and our Goliaths had it out, and our Goliaths kicked ass. (of course we did do some reprogramming on them in the past, their AI was improved from the Kel-Morian idea... HINT HINT) The Wraiths and Scouts focused on the BCs, which was more of a close one. Then I heard 10 BCs charging up.. oh crap. There goes the Fenix. One BC was blown to bits before it could shoot - then an arbiter came out of nowhere and stasised about half. I flinched as I saw the remaining 5 bursts hit. Wait.. no way. That thing is still flying. In frustration, Tnassip ordered his BCs to fire at the retreating Fenix, but the Wraiths, Scouts, and Goliaths blew the BCs to hell, and waited for the other BCs to de-stasis - then they were blown to hell too. We shared a moment of glory before we realized the opponents weren't creamed corn yet. Sarah smirked and put a Nuke Silo on the other expansion instead of a Comsat. I don't know why.
Two minutes later, just out of time, the robot fleet arrived. Now it was time to rock.
Ever see 11 BCs rock a Zerg? You don't want to, believe me. It's bloody as hell. Now think of those BCs upgraded with shields, more damage, and the robot capacity for unthinking sadism. Zap Zap Zap. Defending Devourers were shot of the sky with few spores launched. The greater spire was destroyed, the drones went byebye (Damn, no wonder that Zerg didn't have much, he was out of resources), and all the Hydras had no hope. A Defiler .. oh shit, but it died before it did anything, waaahahha. The metal shell around the Cerebrate was blown away, the BCs were going to kick the shit out of it...
"No, don't kill the cerebrate with those!", shouted Raynor. Howard ordered the BCs to attack everything else.
"What, you wanted it for something?", I asked.
"No, you need Dark Templar energy to kill those things."
"Oh.. that's right, isn't it. All right. We have some at home.."
"I got some right here." With that, about three bloodthirsty DTs left Raynor's base, and sooner or later chopped up the Cerebrate into little pieces resembling Kraft Macaroni N' Cheese. (Yes, that still exists, and doesn't it make you hungry?) The BCs wasted the rest of the zerg base, I was about to go over to Tnassip..
"I surrender! I surrender!", Tnassip yelled on our comms. We, and all our allied forces, scoffed at this sissy idiot yelling orders one hour and whining like a baby the next.
"And how can we trust you?", Raynor said in his suspicious voice.
"Here!" Tnassip then gave us his vision, and we could see .. my god, his tanks were killing each other! They're not robots and mindless clones like the forces we use either! That .. that fuckhole is killing people just to say he surrenders.
"He needs to die.", Sarah muttered on ally-comms. Everyone agreed. All of the commanders - Raynor, Galorn, and the three of us, went over to Tnassip. "Guys, don't shoot him.", Sarah said, when we got there. She then aimed her gun and pointed a red dot directly the head of the barely-suited Tnassip.
"Please don't hurt me...", Tnassip whined.
"We won't if you tell us who sent you, what you were doing with Zerg, and what your mission is.", Howard said.
"I- I'm a UED representative, the Zerg are a project of ours, and I was here to test the Zerg's efficiency with resources and also take this sector!"
Raynor then walked over to Tnassip, grabbed him with one hand up by the neck (Sarah keeping the red dot pointed on Tnassip's head) and demanded to know what the hell he was thinking when he took a mission that operated with zerg.
Sarah calmly said "Raynor, I wouldn't get close to him if I were you." Raynor backed off a bit- then he realized what the red dot was for, and backed off a good 50 yards away from Tnassip. We knew all along.
"Oh please guys.. don't leave me here... I was only trying to do my job.. please take me home.. please.." He then looked up.
The miniature nuke (YES it's miniature! A full-scale would waste the whole map :)) gave Tnassip a coward's death, one with no pain. He was obliterated in precisely .005 seconds. His Command Center and all his Barracks started burning like crazy, damaged by the blast. Raynor was in tears from laughing so hard.
As agreed, Raynor's forces and Eden's each took half the planet for resources and living space. No Zerg or UED ever came around here again. |
