Part 8

I didn't include the interloud in part links, because it has nothing to do with Starcraft except some little things two of my rl starcraft friends (one of those things is not even related to starcraft). On one side, my Starcraft 2 is updating to 1.1 patch, and on the other side, I'm blogging. This means, I won't be able to get screenshots until it finishes updating.

Before reading more, you should play this song.



I should also shoutout to thrslimde in my next blog. Because of his video in 8.5, I know this song. Meanwhile, my update is completed.

Overmind contacted to Lobo, after hearing the latest news.

Overmind: I sense... Weakening, on protoss' power.
Lobo: What kind of weakening, master?
Overmind: They are much slower at popping up their zealots or using their warp gates. Is it because of the new asteroid clash on Aiur? Or does it have another reason... I should have known that, but I have no clue.
Lobo: Oh, that's good, master.
Overmind: And, another thing, Lobo.
Lobo: What, master?
Overmind: Terran hands are also have become slower. They build bunkers and reapers slower. And, their tanks are now focused to destroy armored units. It deals %70 damage to light units.
Lobo: Oh, that's good too. Thanks, master.
Overmind: But, Lobo. Until the end of your real test, you won't notice those new things. Because it will be operational after your real test passes.
Lobo: Yes, master.
Overmind: Lobo, before you go, I'll explain your next test: It's against a triple agent. His name is Chimaira. And he must be killed. He can use Terran or Protoss forces, or even our Broods against you!
Lobo: No matter what, he'll be killed, master.
Overmind: But, you'll meet him at Xel'Naga Caverns. He doesn't have the Xel'Naga effect on him, but you still will have.
Lobo: That should be no problem, master.

After that, he talked to Infrawhite to ask him about facing triple-agents.

Infrawhite: I heard that you'll face a triple agent for your next test.
Lobo: Yes, master.
Infrawhite: And I heard that it will be in Xel'Naga caverns.
Lobo: Yes, master.
Infrawhite: Scout with your 10th drone. And, play safe. Build as much spine crawlers as possible.
Lobo: Thanks, master.
Infrawhite: And, tech to mutas after roaches, not zerglings.
Lobo: OK, thanks for everything, master.

After that, he took off to Xel'Naga Caverns.

"So it begins..."

Said Lobo, before landing. But, after he landed, he felt that the power of Xel'Nagas were much stronger than his mind could resist.

"This place... is killing me... It's even... worse than... the last time"

Said Lobo, to himself.

"Drones... to work! You... little larva... time to... morph!"

After having 10th drone:

"You... little drone... go to... enemy territory... and learn... what race... we're facing..."



Infrawhite: It's going good until now... But, how will you react to facing another zerg?





"You... go become an extractor... You... morph into a drone... You... go become a spawning pool... I need... many lings..."

But, his enemy was going roaches. And that will cost Lobo because he wasn't doing what Infrawhite said to him.



And then, it happened. Chimaira's roaches did a sneak attack to Lobo's lings, and took them down.







"Noooooooo"

And then, they backed off.

"Build more... Spine Crawlers..."

He built 2 spine crawlers at main, and one in expansion with hopes of expanding.

But his enemy has teched a lot for roaches, and because of that, he denied Lobo's expansion again, and started to attack Lobo's main base:





Lobo finally had mutas, but they were not enough to do sufficient damage to Chimaira.



And while his mutas were away, Lobo's main base was attacked, and he was forced to retreat.







But, surprisingly Xel'Nagas were furious with Chimaira.

"Youuuu, tripleface. You are not worthy. You, Terran born tripleface, are not going to leave this place alive. First, you used Terran to kill Protoss, then you used Zerg to kill Terran, and you're now using Zerg again to kill Zerg?"

"Please, I'm begging you, spare my life, please, pleaseeee"

"You, tripleface, are destroying the balance. So, your life must be ended."

"No, please, spare my life.. Please.. What are you doing to me, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

And in this way, Triple Agent Chimaira has been deleted by Xel'Nagas.

Replay

Lobo went to Infrawhite to learn why Xel'Nagas acted like that.

Lobo: Master, did you notice that Chimaira was deleted by Xel'Nagas?
Infrawhite: Yes, indeed I did, young one.
Lobo: But master, Xel'Nagas sure don't like us. I even felt it in the atmosphere. In that situation, why did they delete a person who beat me in battlefield?
Infrawhite: Lobo, you're still too young to understand these. Xel'Nagas are the creators of Protoss, and also the creators of us. There is no such thing that they don't like us. But, they know that we seek for universe domination, and they put these atmosphere barriers to some important places, so that they could prevail us and keep the balance of the universe. That Chimaira appearently was harmful for the balance of the universe, and eventually deleted by the protectors of that balance.
Lobo: Thanks for everything, master. I'll make it up in my next test.
Infrawhite: But, be careful, young one. Next one is the last test of you.
Lobo: Yes, master.

Lobo's next duty was to stop Terrans in Kulas Ravine. But, Lobo was informed about the place and he knew that there were 4 outposts, one of which is occupied by him. So, he used his overlords to look for Terran presence.

And he finally found them in southeastern outpost.



After that, Lobo expanded to another mining place.



And there, he created his mutalisks, and went to Terran's possible expansion. He spotted an SCV there, building a command center.



He killed the SCV asap, and then he denied the command center.

"Sir, Mutas are here. I repeat, mutas are hereeaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggh"





"Sir, we're incapable of dealing with mutalisks, send marines. I repeat, we need marine reinforcement!" said the captain of the reaper squad.

After denying Terran expansion, he went with his mutas to completely destroy Terran's economy.

Captain of Marauders was furious as well:

"Sir, we need backup, we need marines immediately, where are the marines!!!"



After doing that, he started trash talking to him, which he likes to do so much.



Terran had no option, and surrendered after his economy and last command center is destroyed.



Replay

After passing his last test, Lobo became a cerebrate.

Overmind: Congratulations, cerebrate. You passed the test, and now, became a cerebrate. But still, you need to further improve yourself. Even though you're a cerebrate, your rank is still too low.
Lobo: Yes, master.

Lobo has become a silver-class cerebrate (WTF! I think I should've been gold!). And, he's now training himself to become better and better in the swarm. His goal is to be the best cerebrate in the swarm. No matter how much time it takes.

"So it begins..." said Lobo.
