Valerian Mengsk - Rebel Prince of the Dominion, only appears in the first cutscene

Rory Swann - Chief Engineer of the Rebel Raiders; one of the Dwarves

PLOT WITH TRANSCRIPT​


The Dominion's demon lab has been destroyed, and Narud defeated. The time has come for Kerrigan to begin the final assault on Korhal itself...

*Kerrigan, Horner, Swann, and Valerian Mengsk are huddled together by a table in the outskirts of Augustgrad; Dehaka, Stukov, Zagara, and some other Death Knights flank Kerrigan - while Raynor and his Raiders and some civilians watch over them*


Izsha: The fortifications at the outskirts has been shattered. Your Scourge is poised to move. Only the palace defenses remain.
Horner: The northeast sector is clear.
Valerian: We're behind the eastern corridor
Kerrigan: It's time, Valerian.
Valerian: The evacuation is still under way.
Kerrigan: I can't afford to hold back any longer.
Valerian: Promise me, you'll avoid the civilian center.
Kerrigan: I can't do that. Arcturus would see that pattern in my movements and use it against me.
Valerian: Then millions will die.

*Kerrigan glances over Raynor having a stern look at her*

Kerrigan: Alright, just stay out of my way, and I'll do what I can.

Main Quest:

  • Destroy all Dominion forces guarding Mengsk's palace
  • The Hyperion must survive

Arcturus: You never should have gone back to Korhal. You are surrounded by the Dominion's elite.
Kerrigan: And yet they still won't be enough to save you. How many bodies will you hide behind?
Arcturus: I've had enough of your tongue. Men, wipe them out!

*After Kerrigan destroys some of the Dominon's structures.*

Kerrigan: Your defenses could use some work, Arcturus.
Arcturus: You'll pay for that.
Kerrigan: I sense... No, it can't be.

Cutscene: *The Hyperion descends upon a Dominion base and opens fire.*
  • Izsha: My queen, a giant human gunship is inbound on your location.
  • Kerrigan: There's something familiar about this - Jim?
  • Raynor: Let's finish the job.
  • Kerrigan: I didn't think you would come back...
  • Raynor: We're both tied up in whatever happen here today. We do it together.

  • *The Hyperion destroys the Dominion base and Raynor's Raiders start setting up their own base. Rory Swann will stay behind to guard the base and oversee the repairs on the Hyperion*

  • Kerrigan: Jim. Thank you.
  • Raynor: Thank me later. It's time you put your war face on.

  • *Cutscene ends*

Kerrigan: Jim, weren't you supposed to evacuating civilians?
Raynor: Valerian and Horner got that handled. I had other things to do.
Kerrigan: Alright, keep that left flank clear while I go put a hurt on Mengsk.

*If the Hyperion is attacked:*
  • Raynor: Taking fire! They're focusing on us!
  • Kerrigan: Hold on, Jim! I'm coming!
*If Kerrigan dies:*
  • Izsha: Acolytes and Necromancers, restore her body, quickly!
  • Arcturus: Strike now, before she returns!
*Arcturus joins an attack wave for the first time*
  • Mengsk: Raynor and Kerrigan. A criminal and a mass murderer. How perfect.
  • Mengsk: You murdered General Warfield. You've murdered thousands of people, Kerrigan!
  • Mengsk: Remember our history, Kerrigan? How I saved you from the Confederacy? How I freed your mind?
  • Mengsk: And I've regretted it ever since. I should have let you rot away as a disgraced Confederate mage.
*Whenever Arcturus personally reaches Raynor's base for the first time*
  • Arcturus: I will not let you destroy humanity's only chance of salvation!
*After 7 minutes*
  • Zagara: Your Scourge is assaulting terran forces in three entrenched positions. If you can attack these positions from behind and destroy them, we will join the slaughter!

Optional Quest:

  • Destroy the fortified base in the Northwest
  • Destroy the fortified base in the Southeast
  • Destroy the fortified base in the East
*Whenever Raynor sends an attack wave:*
  • Raynor: We're getting ready to attack the Dominion. Be ready shortly.
  • Raynor: We're almost ready to attack the Dominion. Moving out soon!
*After the eastern base is destroyed:*
  • Kerrigan: The avenue is clear of defenders. Dehaka, send your Nerubians into the city.
  • Dehaka: Yes. We will feast upon their essence!
*After the southeast base is destroyed:*
  • Kerrigan: The way is clear, Zagara. Move your troops into the sector.
  • Zagara: With pleasure, my queen.
*After the northeastern base is destroyed:*
  • Kerrigan: Stukov, your path is clear.
  • Stukov: Understood. Let's finish this.
*After 10 minutes*
  • Arcturus: Sky Fury Squadron! Destroy the Hyperion!

  • *Arcturus joins an attack wave with 8 Sky Furies*

  • Raynor: Pretty big fleet coming this way. Could use some help taking these guys down.
*After 15 minutes*
  • Arcturus: Let there be no retribution!

  • *Arcturus calls for a Nuclear Annihilation*

  • Raynor: Dammit! Our forces are taking too much!
  • Horner: Sarah, our scouts report Dominion's special artillery batteries that may be responsible for the Dominion's powerful strikes
  • Kerrigan: Then we must destroy them all to prevent Mengsk from using them
*Whenever Arcturus calls down a Nuclear Annihilation*
  • Arcturus: Fire missiles! Fire again! Fire them all!
  • Arcturus: Obliterate them.
  • Arcturus: Pummel them until nothing remains!
*After 20 minutes*
  • Arcturus: Alpha Squadron! Destroy that damnable ship!

  • *Arcturus joins an attack wave with 3 Prides of Augustgrad*

  • Raynor: Gunships inbound! Might need your help on this one, Sarah.
*After 30 minutes*
  • Arcturus: Remember this, Raynor? It was nice of your criminal partner to leave it here for me.

  • *Arcturus joins an very large attack wave with the Odin*

  • Raynor: Ah, crap. I'd recognize that signature anywhere. He sent out the Odin! Sarah, keep going! You've got to finish this! Go on without me.
  • Kerrigan: Like hell I will! Hold on, Jim, I'm coming!
*After the Odin is destroyed*
  • Raynor: We did it! The Odin's down for the count.
  • Kerrigan: How are you holding up?
  • Raynor: Don't you worry about us. We're still in this.
*When an allied unit personally reaches the main palace grounds for the first time*
  • Kerrigan: Do you feel it Arcturus? The Scourge floods your precious kingdom.
  • Mengsk: I have rebuilt this empire from the ashes of the Confederacy.
  • Mengsk: You will die here Kerrigan. I promise you that.
  • Kerrigan: How quickly you seem to forget, emperor.
  • Kerrigan: I let you have this planet. And I can take it away.
  • Arcturus: The Dominion of Man is stronger than you. We will see your ashes spread to the wind.
  • Arcturus: Men, stop the Queen of Blades. For humanity!

Cutscene: *After all enemy forces in the palace grounds are destroyed, the Hyperion launches a powerful blast at the main door*
  • *Different Scourge and Raider units await at outside the palace, Kerrigan is standing at the front center while Raynor, Zagara, and Stukov flank behind her. Dehaka is seen feasting on a dead Aegis Guard*

  • Kerrigan: Zagara, take command. I have an appointment with the emperor.
  • Zagara: Long live the queen.
Cutscene: *Kerrigan obliterates the Royal Guards inside the Palace and breaks towards Mengsk's throne room*
  • Arcturus: Hello Kerrigan. I've been waiting for you.
  • Kerrigan: I'm surprised you haven't tried to escape.
  • Arcturus: Escape? (Chuckles) My dear, I'm afraid you've got it all wrong.

  • *Arcturus raises his staff, The Xel'Naga device rises from the floor and it quickly blasts Kerrigan with a powerful holy nova, then it shackles her down*

  • Arcturus: Really? Did you think I'd keep an animal like you close to me without some kind of insurance policy?

  • *Arcturus raises his staff again, the Xel'Naga device blasts another holy nova*

  • Arcturus: Clearly, you are my greatest failure.
  • Arcturus: Now, at long last...
  • Arcturus: You will die...

  • *But just before Arcturus raises his staff for the third time - Raynor and a Dwarven Rune Mage fade out of invisibility and Raynor strikes Arcturus with his hammer, preventing Arcturus from using the Xel'Naga device*

  • Raynor: Change of plans

  • *Raynor strikes Arcturus again with his hammer, and the Dwarven Rune Mage channels to get the Xel'Naga artifact to bury it down; Kerrigan rises up and shackles Arcturus back, Banshee spirits begins appearing inside the room and they wander around*

  • Kerrigan: You can never suffer enough for all the lives you've ruined, Arcturus.
  • Arcturus: I made you into a monster, Kerrigan.
  • Kerrigan: You made us all into monsters.

  • *Raynor casts a protective barrier to protect him and the Dwarven Rune Mage, Kerrigan starts channeling a greater shackle to Arcturus, the Banshee spirits move faster before attacking Arcturus; then finally, Kerrigan releases a powerful dark nova in the room*

  • *Raynor, Kerrigan, and the Dwarven Rune Mage walk outside the palace with Kerrigan standing triumphant in front of the Scourge, Raiders, and the surrendering Dominion Troopers rounded up by Horner and Stukov; Kerrigan looks at Raynor*

  • Kerrigan: Thank you, Jim...
  • Kerrigan: ...for everything.

  • *Floating Necropolises begin to fly across, and Kerrigan casts a dark teleport to one of them*

  • Raynor: My pleasure, darlin'.
  • Raynor: Always was.

  • *Kerrigan appears outside a Dimensional Portal in a different planet*

  • Kerrigan: I now see my true enemy. He waits for me in the void, wielding powers I cannot imagine... I go to face him having renounced everything. My humanity, my identity. The man I love. But I will not face this enemy alone. I am the Scourge.

Possible extra stuff to be added to expand the chapter

CIVILIAN EVACUATION​

*After 6 minutes*
  • Valerian: Kerrigan, the evacuation of Korhal is nearly complete.
  • Horner: Sarah, my scouts report Dominion troops heading into the civilian centers
  • Kerrigan: Mengsk will use the civilians against us, do not let the Dominion Troops take over them!

Optional Quest:​

  • Hold out until all civilians have been evacuated (20 minutes)
  • Do not let a total of 20 Dominion Troops stay in each civilian center
*After all civilians are evacuated*
  • Valerian: We've done it. The evacuation is successful! Kerrigan, you can't imagine how many lives you've saved.
  • Kerrigan: Thank me later, Valerian. There is business to attend to.
  • Kerrigan: Now we can finally focus on our main goal

  • Mira is a melee intelligencehero

*After a certain Dominion base or when the Civilian Evacuation quest is completed*
  • Izsha: My Queen, an strange unidentified fleet of airships and gunships are coming at your direction. They don't seem to be from the Dominion, but-
  • Han: I hear you needed a mercenary, eh?
  • Kerrigan: And who you might be?
  • Han: Name's Mira Han - I lead the notorious rag-tag mercenary group that you fought long ago when you were still a young mage, but that's in the past now; Matthew Horner is also my husband. We came here to help with thrashing the Dominion since we could finally take the chance to watch them collapse, and evacuating the civilians is just too boring for us!

  • *Several Airships arrive to unload Mira and as well as her forces and some Peasants to build their base*

  • Horner: Mira's Marauders are effective in sabotaging enemy fortifications and the Royal Guards, Sarah. Make use of them.
  • Kerrigan: Good, more reinforcements to aid us

EXTRA ALLY BASES​


Former Dominion fortifications could also be reinforced with Scourge bases instead of just open pathways that is the entrance of allied attack waves; Kerrigan could also hire their troops at their barracks

SEND THE ALEKSANDR ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH MENGSK'S PALACE​


Another idea with Stukov:

Cutscene: *Heavy battle commences at the palace grounds*
  • Kerrigan: The palace is way too fortified with multiple airships and defenders...
  • Stukov: I have an idea, my queen. I will send the Aleksandr on a collision course with the overwatch then we can unleash the Scourge to finish off the survivors

  • *The Aleksandr flies to wards Mengsk's palace while Gargoyles, Flesh Flyers, Frost Wyrms, and Zombie Copters fly around to distract the defenders. The Aleksandr crashes down straight to the main door and explodes, destroying multiple defenders

  • Kerrigan: The main door is open and the pathway is exposed, onwards to victory!
Cutscene: *After all enemy forces in the palace grounds are destroyed, the Hyperion launches a powerful blast at an incoming fleet of Dominion airships and gunships*
  • *Different Scourge and Raider units await at outside the palace, Kerrigan is standing at the front center while Raynor, Zagara, and Stukov flank behind her. Dehaka is seen feasting on a dead Aegis Guard*

  • Kerrigan: Zagara, take command. I have an appointment with the emperor.
  • Zagara: Long live the queen.
