1 week after the invasion

In the days after the Protoss invasion, the remaining survivors of shattered army groups, downed ships, and destroyed aircraft are spread across the world. Vicious hybrids prowl the forests, and it becomes unsafe to be outside after dark. With many militaries across the globe greatly weakened after the attacks, the Protoss which are alone or in small groups are unable to be hunted down all at once, and must be hunted down one at a time.

New York City

"All units, we have reports of gunfire and screaming at 1601 Beverley Road, Apartment 314. Respond Code 2."

Sergeant Eric Walker of the NYPD, and his partner, Rick Harris, speed toward the scene. Harris flips on the lights, and they start weaving through the traffic in the one of the less damaged areas of Brooklyn. As they arrive on scene, 2 other squad cars pull up outside the apartment complex. The officers jump out, and grab their weapons from the trunk. The first officer has a riot shield and a pistol. The next one has a shotgun, and the other 4 carry M4A1s. The officer with the shield moves in first as they reach the door to the apartment. The officer with the shotgun kicks open the door and the officer with the shield moves in, the rest of the team behind him.

"Dear God."

The team is looking at the remains of a man, ripped apart with a shotgun lying nearby, and a couple casings on the ground. The team splits up into pairs and sweeps the rest of the apartment. Walker and Harris enter one of the bedrooms. Walker opens the closet, and finds a girl huddled inside. He slings his gun over his shoulder and kneels down.

"It's alright, everything will be just fine now. Nobody's going to hurt you. Can you tell me your name?"

"Sarah." The girl is trying not to cry any more.

"Well Sarah, we'll get you out of here. Can you tell me what happened?"

Sarah looks at Walker. "I was playing with my dolls," she motions to the pile of dolls in the corner of the room, "when daddy heard a scary noise outside. He grabbed his gun and went to the door. When he opened it, something pushed him back onto the floor. He tried shooting the thing, but it killed him."

Sarah starts crying again. Suddenly the radio crackles.

"Sarge, we have a survivor in the kitchen. She's losing blood fast, but we might be able to save her if we can stabilize her until the ambulance arrives."

Walker grabs the radio. "Do it. We have the daughter here unharmed. Call the coroner too while you're at it."

He looks back at Sarah.

"Can you tell me what the thing that attacked your father looked like?"

Sarah nods, sneezing. "It was really tall and had glowing eyes like a demon. It wore something the color of sand that stopped the gun. The scariest part was it's face. It had only eyes, no mouth or nose or ears."

Walker looks at Harris, startled, then looks back to Sarah. "Did you see where it went?"

"No, but mommy started screaming really loud. I hid under the bed until it passed. It didn't come back through."

Walker looks at Harris. "We need to go now, and secure this entire block. Sarah, I need you to go with Officer Harris to the car so we can get you out of here."

Sarah and Harris leave and go downstairs. Suddenly, gunfire echoes through the building, and a message comes through the radio.

"There's a Protoss in here! Call for back-"

Walker gets up and unslings his rifle. "Dispatch, we have a confirmed Protoss presence at my location! Requesting all available units, including SWAT teams and military if possible! We need to cordon off this area and stop them! We have at least one confirmed Protoss on site, and multiple officers are down!"

Walker hurried out of the room as another officer is flung out of the kitchen. He switches to full automatic and charges in. The Protoss flings the other officer back, and turns toward Walker. Walker opens fire, aiming for the face. A few shots strike home, and the Protoss turns and jumps out the balcony door. Just then, 12 patrol cars pull up, along with 3 SWAT vans. As all the men unload, 2 helicopters arrive above the apartment. Several ambulances and a coroner arrive, while several 5 ton trucks and a few Humvees race toward the building.

An officer sees the Protoss smash through a second story window of the neighboring building, and the SWAT teams move into that building. When a team arrives at the apartment the Protoss broke into, they find 5 dead people, including 2 children, splayed out in the dining area. As they move through the halls, the Protoss leaps out from a hallway, grabbing a man and smashing him through a wall, before igniting a psi blade and spearing him in the chest. The teams take off to corner the Protoss, but they come around a corner to find another SWAT man who has his arm literally ripped out and stabbed through his neck so far that he is hanging from the ceiling, while a woman lies on the ground, her face half gone. The team raises its weapons, only to find the Protoss right in front of them. It swings its psi blades around, cutting apart the lead 2 men. It draws a photon pistol and runs away shooting.

Outside, the National Guard convoy pulls up, deploying 75 soldiers to surround the building. Captain Elizabeth Shelby walks over to the SWAT mobile command center. Inside, a Lieutenant salutes her.

"Greetings Captain Shelby, I'm Lieutenant Ron Alvarez."

Shelby returns the salute. "What's our status Lieutenant?"

"We believe what we're dealing with is a Protoss Vanguard supersoldier. So far we've lost 12 men confirmed, including 3 NYPD officers and 9 SWAT officers. This Vanguard has a variety of weapons we've seen, including pistols and some sort of energy swords. He killed 6 other civilians, and left another in critical condition, and that's just the ones we know about. As you know, Protoss are naturally stronger than humans, but Vanguards are genetically modified to be even stronger. Some of the bodies inside were literally ripped apart. We may need power soldiers for this Ma'am."

Shelby weighs the options. "Evacuate every civilian on this block, I'm calling to see if reinforcements can be arranged."

In the building, the SWAT teams chase the Vanguard into the roof, where he kills 3 more with his pistol before slicing apart 2 as he jumps off the building. He slides down the side of the neighboring building for 6 floors and then jumps the last 10 feet. He tosses a plasma grenade at the wall of parked vehicles, blowing up a 5 ton truck, and propelling the soldiers behind it backwards. The Vanguard leaps through the flaming wreckage, slicing apart 3 soldiers. A patrol car pulls up in its path, but it simply rolls over the hood with its psi blades out, killing both men inside, and runs off into the night. Shelby gets on the radio.

"The Vanguard has broken the line of defense! Send all units after it!"

Every single patrol car and Humvee tears off after the Vanguard, as he runs through alleyways and streets. He jumps in a convertible, slicing the driver apart, and after a couple seconds of figuring out the pedals, drives off, only to realize that there is still traffic, and having to dodge cars. The Police find the convertible outside Prospect Park, just north of the apartments. As the soldiers arrive and begin fanning out through the park, several men are killed by surprise attacks. Then, a drop pod arrives, and a man in Paladin armor, with a distinctive ragged short cape on his shoulder, blue-grey in color, with a wolf on it steps out, carrying 2 lightsabers, 2 photon pistols, and a plasma rifle. He walks into the park, and as 2 more men get ripped apart by the Vanguard, he fires his rifle several times, hitting it in multiple spots. It collapses to the ground. The man walks up, ignites a red lightsaber, and cuts its head off. He grabs the head, puts it in a bag, and walks to a UH-1 helicopter that lands in the park. The helicopter takes of and flies away.

Cities across South America

Across South America, people are getting attacked by creatures released by the Protoss at all hours, though especially at night. Packs of Hellhounds roam the continent, preying on unlucky victims. Ravagers climb into upper floors and kill the occupants. Citizens are forming into groups to survive. With no central government, various groups try to form their own countries, resulting in bloody civil wars that take away from hunting down the hybrids. The USSR loyal faction has sent transmissions to their command, asking for reinforcements, while the coalition loyal forces does the same with the AIF and Israel.

Other various factions are popping up all across the country, all trying to carve out a country for themselves. With the royal family long dead, and the VK peacekeeping force gone, the entire nation is in turmoil, some even trying to form the countries that existed before the empire. Other forces are prowling the continent, collecting every weapon, drug shipment, and piece of currency they find, which may or may not be getting shipped to Mexico. The remaining ships in the Imperial Navy belong to all various factions, while some factions try to scavenge downed Protoss vessels. The entire country is shattered, and completely hostile to most people. It will take some time for the country to be fully repaired.

Across the world

Many Protoss weapons, hybrids, and troops are still scattered across the world, still causing minor problems to the nations. A mine explodes under a car in Arizona, a hellhound attacks a hiker in Argentina, a Protoss attacks a patrol in Russia. Many nations have people who bought weapons and went out Protoss hunting.
