A/N

Following up on a request in a review of Grim Reaper to "make more zerg poems," I decided to do something similar to Predator and honor a zerg unit struck down by Blizzard. In the end, I chose the Omegalisk...

Omega

Through accelerated evolution,

The zerg were stronger than before.

A new strain descended on us terrans,

To even up the score.

...

More mighty than an ultralisk,

Resistance was for nought.

More mighty than a torresque,

Or even a juggernaut.

...

Many breeds had come before,

But this was something new to me.

A creature that somehow seemed to have,

Unlimited HP.

...

An Omegalisk, that's what it was called,

And it was aptly named.

Near the top of the tech tree,

Arriving in late game.

...

Kaiser blades and tentacles,

The Omega had the tools.

The sane all fled before its wrath,

While it killed courageous fools.

...

Marines, Marauders, Viking walkers,

Even Thors were smashed.

Was the battle truly lost?

Could nothing stop its wrath?

...

Air support was all for nought,

The zerg controlled the skies.

While Omega ploughed along,

Death was in its eyes.

...

But suddenly it disappeared,

Per the will of a higher power.

The terran army had been saved,

In the final hour.

...

As things turned out the creature's might,

Was too random for Blizzard's tastes.

Splash damage at quarters close,

Went the same way as the Wraith.

...

So we humans returned to fight

And battled like before.

But in the ears of every terran,

We still heard Omega's roar.
