Chapter X: Outbreak? -Markior

... Markior and Ulrezaj are still trapped in a blue energy bulb deep beneath the ground. Aurora suddenly appears and falls down. She stares at Ulrezaj and atacks him. ...
-------------------------------------------------

Aurora dashes at Ulrezaj, unleashing her attack. Markior floats infront of Ulrezaj and Psionic Shields. Ulrezaj grins as he sees the Yoshette and floats aside. Markior holds Aurora back. "Aurora!!" Markior speaks. "Aurora listen to me." Aurora calms down and looks at Markior questioningly. "But!! That's Ulrezaj!!" She yells. Ulrezaj grins. Markior frowns and says: "Yes, that's Ulrezaj... but listen to me..."

...Markior explains to Aurora why Ulrezaj isn't evil at the moment and why his rage has calmed down...

Aurora calms down and says: "Really? But for all we know he could be a part of Haverings scheme!" Markior looks at Ulrezaj. Ulrezaj rolls his eyes. "No.." Markior says. "I know for sure he isn't. And we're all trapped in here now together." Aurora widens her eyes. " T..Trapped??" She stutters. Ulrezaj points at the blue bulb surrounding them. He Dark Psi's the bulb, and nothing happens. Markior casts RECALL, but again, nothing happens. "We have sent out Markiors zergling Dev to find some help. We spotted agent Multex a while ago running towards this place. Maybe he can help us." Ulrezaj says. Aurora glances at Ulrezaj, still not totally believing his rage has really vanished. She then looks at Markior. "So we can do nothing but wait?" Markior shrugs. "We've tried anything so far, Aurora..."
-------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a new miniature Xel'Naga temple appears on the platform within the village. Dev runs towards Multex and "barks" at him. Multex doesn't really buy into this little Zergling. "Man..you're one ugly mutt..." he says, while frantically looking around him, seeing if he can spot RATCH. "Git away! Err... sit!! Roll over!! Bite yourself!!" Unfortunately, Multex doesn't have much a choice as Dev plays fetch with the agent, namely dragging him towards the village. After a while, Tex spots the miniature Temple. He sees Dev's excitement... and logically in his mind deduces.... "it's some funky kinda football." He thinks. "What? You just wanted to play fetch?? 'Zat it? Rrrgh, fine, one time." Multex kicks the platform, the miniature Temple rolls of of it. Multex winds up, punts and sends it down the cliff a ways with a loud boom. Dev looks down the cliff. Tex, being who he is, looks down as well, shudders slightly and makes a hasty getaway with a mental "Was never there, noone saw it, it's cool." Multex runs further as RATCH appears out of the forest. He shoots his homing missiles at Dev and Multex. Multex however is already out of sight. Dev runs away and hides behind the platform. The homing missile soars and hits the plaform, while beneath the soil, Markior, Aurora and Ulrezaj hear the explosion. "This isn't right.." Markior mumbles. Aurora looks up and suddenly shrieks: "MARKIOR!!! LOOK AT ULREZAJ!!" Markior turns around and looks at Ulrezaj. He is engulfed by a black tube of energy. He roars in anger and suddenly disappears. Markior yells: ULREZAJ!! What is happening?!? Can you hear me?!" In a brief moment, Markior is also engulfed by the same type of energy. Aurora dashes at the tube, but gets shocked and falls backwards the moment she touches it. Markior then disappears....
-------------------------------------------------

Aurora wakes up outside of the village. She rubs her head, it hurts. She hears her heart pounding in her head's temples. She slowly stands up and dusts herself off. "Augh... Markior?" She says. "Markior? MARKIOR?!" She now yells. There's no response. She's all alone...

Meanwhile...

A voice sounds in Markiors head. "I have always wanted to try my best to break the spirit of a spirit..." He hears. Markior opens his eyes. "Havering!!" He growls. Markior is suddenly hit by a blue beam in the chest. He roars in pain, and suddenly freezes, his eyes wide open. Yet, he can still see and hear everything, but he's unable to move, or even blink his eyes. "You're not so great as the god of the mind, spirit... as you will see, it's going to be quite easy to destroy your mind and break your spirit..." The voice sounds. Markior tries to speak, but is unable to. Then the voice continues. "You foolish beings will not stand in my way of achieving what I want He shall live again, and you, the agent or your little friends will not stop me." Suddenly, a wide screen appears infront of Markior. He has no choice but to look at it... "There are multiple universes, multiple dimensions, and multiple ways Time can flow... Here's my personal collection... selected escpecially for you."

The screen glows brightly, and images start appearing. From different dimensions and times, Markior sees the most gruesome images he would ever see... His brethren, the Protoss, slaughtering his people, the Yoshies... then, the Zerg taking over Aiur and Shakuras... desroying the Xel'Naga temple... the Yoshies in slavery of the Zerg.... the Zerg devouring Yoshies he knows... Olympus engulfed by fire as Kerrigan sits on a throne... The sight of Fenix, his good friend, being killed over, and over again...
The images don't stop... Things worse then his worsed nightmares unfold infront of Markior. Havering smirks. "To break the spirit of a spirit... how ironic..." Havering disappears as Markior is forced to look at the horrible images...

Meanwhile, Ulrezaj appears in a room made of silver... He looks around him and roars. "Light One, where are you?! Aurora?! What is going on here??" Haverings face appears on all four walls. He laughs at Ulrezaj. "Well ell well... I never intended that you would join Markior here, protoss... But now, it shall prove to be most usefull..." He laughs. Ulrezaj roars and Dark Psionics a wall. The face of Havering disappears, but then two smaller faces appear on the walls. The keep on laughing maniacilly at Ulrezaj. Ulrezaj gets enraged and attacks all the walls, but even more faces keep appearing. "Yes, dark archon..." Haverings voice sounds. "Keep that rage... soon, you shall be your dark self again!!" Ulrezaj roars and attacks all the faces in total anger, but only more keep appearing. While he keeps attacking, blue beams shoot at Ulrezaj. With every beam, a memory of Ulrezaj appears before him.
...
The exile of the Dark Protoss...
...
The death of Raszagal...
...
And every memory of what has happened to the Dark Protoss and himself reappears before him. His rage grows even more as he keeps attacking the laughing faces, who only keep multiplying themselves...
"Hehahah... that's a good archon... Keep your fury within you, and I will not have to worry about you anymore..."
