《The Voyager》Season 1: The Starcraft Commander---Chapter 94: Boarding attack
Advertisement
On the surface of Shakuras, hundreds of Nerazim centurions and dark templars were waiting.
Beside them countless Nerazim and Khala civilians were running toward the warp gates to escape. Vorazun couldn’t promise holding off the combined fleet successfully until help came, so she attempted to get as many people off this planet as possible.
In space, Vorazun’s expression darkened as ship after ship fell around her. The sound of dying Nerazim pierced her ears. Her tight fist showed her emotions. She had never met such a bad situation. Hell she didn’t even know who the enemies were and why they suddenly decided to come for Shakuras.
The enemies had took some damage, but they could withstand such losses. The Nerazim couldn’t. Suddenly voices came from beside.
“Matriarch, the coordinates are locked on.” A straight faced Nerazim technician reported.
“Project dark pylon now.” Vorazun’s hand reached out, and a long stick appeared. It was her weapon, a Shadow Scythe. “Executor, you are in charge. Shadow guards, join me in combat!” She turned on her shield and gave out a silent order to warp her away.
“Matriarch...” The executor wanted to object. It was unwise for the commander of the fleet to charge into battle herself, but the young matriarch was too consumed by rage to think logically. Her people were dying, and she needed to avenge them. What was a better act of vengeance than cutting the enemies in half with her weapon?
Light beams appeared in at least a dozen Dominion battlecruisers. When the lights cleared, dark pylons were standing tall in the ships. Dozens of light beams followed immediately as they appeared around the dark pylons.
Opening their eyes and facing approaching Dominion security forces, these Nerazim warriors disappeared. The next time they appeared was right before the Dominion troopers. Their green warp blades lighted the red armors of the Dominion forces and signaled the fate of these unfortunate marines.

“General! We have been boarded by the protoss! Security forces are overran!” A screen popped up in Warfield’s flagship.
“Calm down soldier! How many enemies are there?” Warfield asked.
The captain glanced at the screen. “Fifty.”
Warfield frowned. “You have 2000 men on your ship. Mobilize the security forces and eliminate the enemies.” He said with dissatisfaction and turned off the screen. Since when did the Dominion forces become so weak? It was 40:1. The terran should wipe out the protoss in no time.
But just as Warfield turned his attention back to the front, the words of the adjutant brought bad news.
“Commander, at least 20 battlecruisers have reported being boarded by Nerazim forces. That number is still growing. 2 ships have already lost contact.”
“What the…” Warfield frowned. “How?”
If Warfield was in the front he would realize how severe the situation was, but Warfield had never really fought with the Nerazim, and he had no idea how powerful these stealth warriors were in close quarter.
In one of the battlecruisers, Vorazun’s figure solidified. The two ends of her weapon shined green light of destruction. Behind her were 20 shadow guards and 30 centurions.
The Dominion captain commanding this ship was neither blind nor ignorant. A group of marines was already sent to where the dark pylon appeared. As soon as they saw the intruders they opened fire and called for reinforcements.
Vorazun jumped into the air. The marines looked up and raised their weapon, but before they could pull their trigger the matriarch disappeared. The marines frowned, and the next second Vorazun appeared in the middle of the marines.
Marines were ranged units. They mainly relied on their gauss rifles to gun down the enemies. Vorazun was a melee hero with a specialized weapon. The fate was sealed.

Vorazun turned her scythe around her, and all eight marines within the range of her weapon were cut in half. Their upper bodies fell on the ground. The sound of them screamed ranged across the security channel.
Hearing the terrifying scream from the marines, fatally wounded but still conscious, Vorazun smiled wickedly. Her sympathy was already burned away by her losses. Countless Nerazim had died this day, and she needed countless terran to pay the price.
The rest of the marine squad backed off, trying to get to a safe distance and open fire, but Vorazun wasn’t alone. The rest of the marines soon found that out as they were literally dismantled by the shadow guards that followed Vorazun.
Vorazun walked past another screaming marine. His upper body laid on the ground, shaking in pain. His severed legs twitched. Facing the matriarch, the man reached for his pistol. Vorazun didn’t move. A single small caliber pistol couldn’t threaten her. Under Vorazun’s cold eyes, the main put the pistol toward his head and pulled the trigger.
Vorazun turned around and walked down the hall of the battlecruiser toward the bridge.
The Dominion security forces were stuck in a very awkward position. They had heavy firepower, including siege tanks and thors, on the ship, but only a fool would use these weapons inside the ship. The explosive shells of siege tanks would do more damage to the ship itself than the Nerazim every could. This limited the units of the security forces to marines, marauders, and goliaths. A standard battlecruiser didn’t have ghosts aboard.
As the unfortunate security forces soon found out, infantry units were no match against the Nerazim strike forces.
Severing the arms of a marauder, Vorazun ended the life of the poor soul in another hit. The thick armor of the marauder melted like butter against the green blade.
Dominion security forces were still steaming out, but the fact was that the nature of the battlecruisers made it certain that only a handful of marines or marauders could fire at once. Their firepower could barely break the shields.
A brave/mad marine charged at Vorazun, but his bravery was rendered useless as Vorazun blinked past him. He was immediately dismantled by the shadow guards that followed Vorazun before he could even turn around.
A few minutes later, the Nerazim forces had already reached the gate of the bridge. The metal door was shut close, but the trail of spare body parts behind Vorazun showed that the matriarch wouldn’t be stopped by a layer of metal.
Vorazun backed off, and a shadow guard walked forward and stabbed his blade into the door. The metal door was thick, but it did very few against the warp blade.
Pulling back his blade, the shadow guard backed off. A large piece of square metal fell out, revealing an opening.
Again, the commander of the Nerazim fleet was the first to enter.
Blinking into the bridge, Vorazun was met with the firing of several rifles and pistols. The Dominion officers held their ground against all odds, but their resistance was futile. Ten seconds later, every terran in the bridge had perished.
Vorazun and her warriors unleashed their anger on the control panel of the battlecruiser. When there was no more hope of regaining control of the ship, the Nerazim stepped back and were consumed by warp beams.
A few seconds later, the group of hit team was warped onto another Dominion battlecruiser, and the same thing continued.

Ebony Chitin - Eclipse
Richard Adams is something of a talented alchemist. One of the few magical professions that have anything to do with some kind of science. Everything was going swimmingly, until the 'cold night' incident happened. With it being determined as his fault, that such a thing happened. He was promptly exiled until he could return to Eclipse with a new 'discovery' for his field. What he didn't expect; was that he'd run into a strange humanoid monster that could seemingly heal any life threatening wound in a matter of seconds. Certainly this would be what he needs to become a master alchemist. The first step on a multi series journey. Please excuse the earliest chapters and their poor grammer. Ebony Chitin follows Richard Adams, and Mimi on their Journey to understand each other and the world around them. Due the the exploratory nature of such a claim, it will cover many different topics. This was my first attempt at actually writing a story, and because of that I will not edit it. I'd suggest reading the second part as it comes out as most of the things within this book will be recapped. Though if it becomes popular I hope it might inspire some of you readers to write your own stories. Cover Art by Rose Dragon

Falling Through the Cracks
After falling through a rather unexpected crack in the universe that spawned under his bed, Alex finds himself in a world filled with monsters and magic. Now instead of worrying about SATs and college applications, he only has demons, magic and rips though the very fabric of the universe to occupy his mind. Quite a bit easier in his opinion. This story has abuse, trama and brushes breifly on suicide. I`ll try to include warnings on chapters that deal heavily in any of those. I’m also a very new writer, so please let me know of any mistakes you see! Updates Mondays and Thursdays Image credit: Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech/S.

Fate Overcharge (Stalled)
Rin Tohsaka, the young genious magus who, using the power of the holy grail, built an empire spanning the whole world, decides to use the power of the second sorcery to expand her empire to other realms and... Ehm, sorry, wrong story. Err, alright, starting again... Rin Tohsaka is the current head of the Tohsaka family and a likely master in the upcoming fifth grail war. She doesn't have a wish she wants granted, but she will fight to win. For if there is a battle to be fought, could a Tohsaka settle for any less than a complete victory? This is a fan fiction for the Fate/StayNight and an alternative rendition of the fifth grail war that introduces new characters, and shows never before seen sides of the old ones. Since this is a fan fiction, knowledge of the original works is needed to understand it. Watching stay/night or zero should be sufficient, but reading both works along with Hollow Ataraxia is recommended for not missing any details. (I won't assume the readers have read Hollow A.) - Warning: Tagged Mature(+15) mainly for violence and strong language. Nothing graphic, and still a lot milder than the original Visual Novel - Note1: I am trying to improve so constructive critisizm and random comments are welcome. Note2: Be warned! Update rate will likely be slow. How slow, I can't say. Note3: I don't consider any side works in the franchise as cannon. So if, for some reason, Nero is summoned, do not riot when he turns out to be a burly, hairy caster. (That won't happen!)
