Claim the Power of Zerus

Zeratul: Zerus, birthworld of the zerg. It lies far beyond the Koprulu sector, where no terran has ventured.

You must go to that ancient place, Kerrigan. Learn its secrets and take its power.

Cutscene

Zeratul: The power of Zerus called you here.

Kerrigan: My need to see Mengsk dead called me here. These zerg will help me destroy Korhal.

Zeratul: You must let Zerus remake you, Kerrigan! The final war nears, and there is little time.

Kerrigan: I don’t have to do a damn thing. I will not be a pawn in your prophecies.

Zeratul: But you will do anything to have your revenge?

Kerrigan: Anything.

Zeratul: Then that is enough.

Void Seeker Conversation

Kerrigan: Why are you helping, Zeratul? You have more cause to hate me than most.

Zeratul: The xel’naga wish you restored as the leader of the Swarm.

Kerrigan: You know I don’t believe in your mad prophecies.

Zeratul: Your belief is not required. I act for the greater good, though it earns me the hatred of my own people.

Kerrigan: Spare me your self-pity, Zeratul. Everyone has to make peace with their own choices.

Zeratul: I made my peace long ago. When we are done here, I will return to my people, and accept their judgment.

Kerrigan: We all have to pay for our actions someday. I guess your day is almost here.

Izsha Conversation

Kerrigan: I’m looking through the eyes of my overlords. These primal zerg are fascinating. They show no signs of age.

Izsha: All organisms age. Even zerg.

Kerrigan: But the primals feed off the essence of individuals. They’re in a state of constant evolution. They don’t die.

Izsha: Until they are killed by another primal.

Kerrigan: True. The most successful hunters among them must be incredibly ancient. And incredibly dangerous.

Birthworld

Note: The Voidseeker approaches the zerg Leviathan.

Kerrigan is meditating and detects a familiar psionic presence. Her zergling pet reacts.

Kerrigan: Zeratul.

Note: Zeratul decloaks. Kerrigan rushes toward him with anger, and punches him in the chest, followed by a roundkick to the face which knocks him back violently.

Before Zeratul lands, Kerrigan telekinetically stops his body mid-air, and slams him against a pillar behind her.

Zeratul lands on his knees and hands.

Kerrigan jumps about 15 feet high like a superhero and her right fist flares up with telekinetic force slamming against Zeratul with such a strength his shield resonates as if hit by a sonic boom.

Kerrigan is pushed back with the momentum of her punch.

Kerrigan runs toward Zeratul and lands another telekinetic-powered punch on his chest, catapulting him clear through the pillar.

Zeratul’s body finally lands on the ground on his back.

Kerrigan grabs his chest piece and pulls him slightly off the ground.

Kerrigan: What do you want?

Note: Zeratul doesn’t respond. Kerrigan becomes frustrated and anger shoots through her spine, powering another telekinetic punch aimed at Zeratul’s face. Before she lands the punch, Zeratul’s right hand grabs her entire face to mindmeld.

Zeratul: Believe!

Note: The camera aims on Kerrigan’s right eye, and zooms in into her corneas, showing a point of view that warps in into an unknown space sector. Kerrigan is now seeing through the eyes of Zeratul aboard the Voidseeker.

A green planet appears before her.

Zeratul: Kerrigan … I have been to the beginning. Behold … Zerus! Birthplace of the zerg. Here the zerg evolved, and here the dark one altered them.

Those left behind are the primal zerg. They fight. They kill. They evolve.

Note: The scene shown is two primal zergs fighting each other. One wins, eats its contender and evolves in real-time growing new eyes, and other features throughout its body.

The scene zooms out into orbit and through Kerrigan’s right eye back to the here and now, while Zeratul’s hand rests on her face.

Zeratul: Just as you must … if you survive.
