Chapter One:

The Dominion kill team entered the primary zerg hive, scanning for hostiles. As they moved forward, their leader, Jim Raynor saw Kerrigan lying, deinfested and helpless beneath him. He kneeled down by her. Then a red light shone over Kerrigan's head.

'You reading all this?' asked Tychus.

'You have your orders, Mr. Findlay. Carry them out.'

'Tychus,' said Raynor 'what have you done?'

'I made a deal with the devil, Jimmy.' said Tychus 'She dies, I go free.'

'Hang on a second,' said Raynor 'Arcturus Mengsk planted you as a spy in the Raiders so that you could finish off Kerrigan on the off chance that I teamed up with his son and defeated the Queen of Blades AND successfully had her completely at my mercy? Even though a much more likely event would be me shelling her to death with siege tanks.

Even though he saw me vow eternal vengeance on her over the corpse of my best friend Fenix, thus meaning that Tychus' presence in such a situation would be totally superfluous.'

Dead silence.

'Why does my plan make absolutely no sense whatsoever?' asked Arcturus suddenly.

'Yeah,' said Raynor 'I mean you probably could have used Tychus as an informant and predicted the Odin fiasco long before it got anywhere. Seriously man, I can think of dozen different ways Tychus could have been of more use to you.

Hell, you could have just had him shoot me in the back.'

'…Can we get to the showdown.' said Arcturus 'I didn't really think this through very well.'

'Right, right,' said Tychus 'I made a deal with the devil, Jimmy. She dies, I go free.'

'Well in that case I'll just shoot in the head right now then.' said Raynor.

'Works for me.' said Tychus.

Dead silence as Raynor raised his gun.

'Oh my god, Raynor's going to kill Kerrigan!' said a marine.

'I've always dreamed this moment would come!' said another.

'Shoot her Jim!' said Arcturus. 'Give in to your anger and take your place by my side!'

'Wait, what would the ghost of Tassadar do in this situation?' asked Raynor.

Behold the ghost of Tassadar faded into view, looking forlorn and wise. 'Raynor….' he said 'kill that stupid bitch.'

'…Works for me.' said Raynor, before cocking the gun.

Then Zeratul appeared. 'Wait Raynor! She must survive for the sake of all who live!'

'Fuck that!' snapped Raynor.

'Jim…' said Kerrigan.

Jim put the gun to her forehead and her eyes widened.

'You're really going to do it.' she realized.

There was a deafening gunshot. Kerrigan dropped dead. And there was dead silence.

'…So want a job?' asked Arcturus.

Thus Raynor killed Kerrigan, avenging his fallen comrade Fenix and billions of other innocent people. Yet his single act of vengeance would echo across the galaxy…

In an entirely positive light!

Mengsk gave Raynor a pardon, and Raynor convinced Mengsk to make an alliance with the protoss. Valerian managed to convince his Father to intiate various reforms. Every single zerg on Char was exterminated and in the time leading up to the awakening of the hybrid the zerg suffered horrible losses. What was left of the swarm was taken over by Alexei Stukov who used it to team up with Zeratul to destroy Narud's base of operations. Warfield lived to a ripe old age and retired. The people of Kaldir were not brutally exterminated for a passing strategic advantage.

And since the Dominion didn't have it's military resources decimated by a horde of alien locusts it totally kicked Moebius core's butt long before Artanis even got to Korhal. As a result the Dominion was able to take an active role in exterminating Amon's warriors and did so with much greater ease.

When Artanis needed someone to hold off Amon's minions on the Xel'Naga ruins thing, Alexei used his swarms to help. Eventually they killed Amon by nuking him repeatedly.

So I guess Kerrigan really wasn't necassary for the survival of the universe. Just goes to show prophecies are bullshit.

Oh and then, since Alexei Stukov was also infested and therefore met the same qualifications as Kerrigan, he ascended into heaven to become a Xel'naga. And since he wasn't an axe crazy hypocritical traitorous complete monster like Kerrigan, he was really good and turned the Koprolu Sector into a paradise where all the zerg were exterminated for the good of humanity.

Since they were a bunch of non sentient flesh eating monstrousities, nobody cared.

Jim Raynor married Ariel Hanson, and the two lived happily ever after. They had three children and remained close with both Matt Horner and Tychus Findlay, who both had outstanding military careers.

Sure, Arcturus got off scot free, but Kerrigan was way, way, worse. So Raynor was inclined to take what he could get. Oh, and since Valerian never overthrew his Father, Carolina Davis never went off the deep end and started unleashing the zerg on innocents worlds. As a result countless innocent people were spared.

Please tell why Kerrigan was necassary for the survival of the universe? Seriously, tell me?

Authors Note:

Not much to say here. After all the buildup around Kerrigan being essential to the survival of the universe, she is almost completely irrelevant. Any hybrid she killed before they woke up was outweighed by the devastation she wrought on the Dominion military machine. All she did was act as cannon fodder in one mission for the protoss, kill a couple of hybrid, and go the way of all mary sues by ascending into heaven at the end. None of which couldn't have been done by Stukov. Oh and she temporarily took Narud out of the action, but Zeratul or Artanis could have just as easily done that.

Considering the fact that I bought Starcraft II in the hopes of seeing her take a bullet to the brain, this was not a satisfactory ending.
