Detention, Saturday, September 22

There was a tall, military-looking redhead - better known to most as Lieutenant Kerrigan - in a sleek metal suit tapping her foot against the floor of the Danger Shop and looking just this side of incredibly annoyed.

"Listen, children, you're obviously here because you did something incredibly stupid. Today, I am going to show - not tell - you how incredibly dumb that is, and how incredibly dead you are going to be should you do something stupid again. Shut up, don't talk, and get the hell into the sim before I personally decide to nail your butts to the wall."

She pointed at a projector on the wall.

"If your name's not on there, get the hell out of my Danger Shop. If it is and you're not here, then I'm talking to thin air and I'll hunt you down myself. GET!"

Stupid people brought out the military in her.

Emerging from the oddly placed lunchroom, Ed eyed the creepy crawlies warily and started looking around for a way out of this. "Hate deserts. Always have. Stupid barren things."

The Zerg were very fond of deserts. They were easy to move in. That may have been why they were coming in fast from behind, leaving very little room for escape except for the large empty stretch up ahead.

He eyed the rush and, again, clapped his hands together and knelt to touch the ground, transmuting the area between him and the Zerg into a deep trench, moving all the material taken out into a berm on his side of the trench. If there was water near by, he would have flooded it, but as it was, he just started moving away, interested in seeing what they'd do.

The Zerg responded as they always did: by swarming. They swarmed right on into the trench and right back up again, as if it didn't even matter: their sharp claws found a foothold in anything.

One of the Hydralisks up front let go another one of its charming screeches.

Well, that didn't work. Ed vaguely wished he knew how to control fire like Mustang, but the urge passed.

He tried again, first turning and spraying the front ranks with bullets from the almost forgotten gun, then kneeling to turn the hard rock under their claws into quicksand.

Some gunfire struck the Hydralisk in the face and it went down - a good chunk of the front lines found themselves suddenly embedded in the ground without their own say-so.

The mass at the rear, however, simply used the bodies of their fallen colleagues to get across.

"Yeah, well, that blows," Ed scowled, starting to move away quickly, trying to get some more distance on them before turning again to try another way to stop them.

The Zerg were still coming up closer and closer and closer--

At the same time, however, a long and triangular shadow approached slowly across their numbers.

Re: Escape the Rush

He quickly ducked to transmute another broad swath of land into quicksand before he glanced up to try to make out the cause of the shadow.

More Zerg sank into the ground; more followed.

However, the rear seemed to thin out mysteriously - the source being the large yellow spacecraft that doomed above, blocking out the light of the sun.

"Oh. Great. A zepplin."

Re: Escape the Rush

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

A telepathic voice rang out from the zepp-- spacecraft. Do you require assistance, young Terran?

Re: Escape the Rush

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that'd be great," he yelled back, not thinking - yet - about where the voice came from.

Then he paused and looked back up at the zepplin. "Oh, this might be bad."

The Protoss lifited him (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1527143.html?thread=93643367#t93643367) without a lot of dramatics.
