With the death of Erekul, the Protoss team have gained an edge. As such, Tiberius and Leo continues to fight relentlessly against the incoming Zerg horde.
However, Tiberius spies a familiar shape lumbering behind the new wave. He recognizes that beastly shape that radiates firepower.
"TANK WAVE INCOMING!!" screams Tiberius into the shared comm channel.
"Roger", "Aye", "Bleep" came back the chorus of reply.
Fighting on with furious determination, Tiberius proceeds to take shots at the tank armour's weaker platings, all the while dodging the tank's clumsy counterfire. During this exchange, the enemy champions stride forth, and lo, he spies that Erekul has been returned once more to the fray.
Suddenly he realizes that Leo has disappeared. Sparing only a thought for the Predator-bot, he continues his furious assault. It was then that he saw the shape of Leo behind the enemy champions! The Predator-bot has flanked the battlefield in a brave show of reckless courage. However, Tiberius realizes that courage itself isn't enough for his friend. He proceeds to fire away at Erekul while Leo attacks from behind, even thought Tiberius is certain that Leo won't survive this reckless charge.
He was not disappointed. Or rather, he was disappointed to be right.
Determined not to waste Leo's death, Tiberius gives chase.
"Firebase Zeta! Request clearance for Shadow-Mimic cloak system!" he screams into the comm
"Roger Ghost Alpha, clearance granted. Take them from the shadows!"
"Aye, I intend to do just that!"
Having obtained clearance, he activates the cloak and proceeds to hound the badly wounded Erekul. However, an elemental signal catches his attention. It seems that Mandrake has decided to join the fray! Tiberius could only watch as Mandrake proceeds to flare with power and leaps on Erekul! This burning is more than Erekul could stand and as such, he survives not.
However, it is not yet over. With his comrade dead, Chuck tries to make an escape from Mandrake, not realizing Tiberius is watching from the shadows. Realizing this, Tiberius proceeds to take aim. He will not be denied. Though his hands shudder with wounds, he steadily aims towards Chuck. He gives a signal to Mandrake to charge, and charge he did! Leaping with glorious abandon on Chuck, Mandrake proceeds to flay the life off of him. Not leaving anything to chance, Tiberius lets loose his lockdown bullet, stunning the poor soul, and doing so, sealing his fate of a fiery death at the hands of Mandrake.
To be continued
