After weeks of depression over my 3rd failed BR,
I decided to take a self-esteem course and
try again. A fan-fic I wondered? No, I will
never stoop that low. Then what? Drones
of pointless and repetitive ideas flooded
my head. Then, in a spark of brilliance it
came to me, AN INTERACTIVE
BATTLE REPORT!! I hoped to recreate
this rare art. So I present to you my latest
attempt... Battle For The Lost
Temple, An
Interactive Report.
*****This IBR is designed for a minimized window, changing it many ruin the
fun*****
For those of you unfamiliar with IBRs mine is done Dr.Awesome style. First, you read
the paragraph then at the end choose your next move. If your right, you live, if not,
well, it wont be pretty ;) Click on the red text to begin.
"All crew, prepare for landing" buzzed over the
the intercom as you just woke up with a hangover. "Damn
that was one wicked party last night..."
After scrambling for your uniform and taking
some extra strength Tylenol you report to
the main office. "Welcome commander." states
T_Mac as you enter. I didn’t know they allowed
gays in the military you think to yourself.
"We are landing on The Lost Temple and attempting
to secure it from the Zerg." you are informed.
"Shit, how long have they been here?" you ask.
"No longer than we have as far as we can tell."
"Any information on there strat?"
"None."
"Location?"
"Nope."
"Damn, do we have a plan?"
"Thats why your here sir."
You hear a loud thud as you land on the unknown
world.
"Well sir, whats that plan?"
"Set up a wall-in on the double."
"Start teching towards vultures."
"Set up a wall-in on the double." you reply.
Four brave SCVs launch and begin to gather minerals. There
numbers start to add up and you start to wonder if you've made
the right decision. The whole world could depend on this battle
for the valuable treasure. A victory here would mean the possible
end to the war. Workers have just finished work on the barracks and the
supply depo isn't far behind. "Start work on a marine." you order.
The SCV that built the barracks has started a bunker. You feel
someone looking at you. "T_Mac, get your eyes off my ass..." you say
dryly. This is obviously not the first time its happened. Just as
you bring your attention back to the computer you see 6 zerglings charging
toward your main. You have marines in a bunker by now and are firing
bravely. The zerglings start there ravage thrashing of the bunker. Its
hit points are nearing the red and the zerglings are starting to lose
there numbers. A SCV begins to repair the bunker and as the last ling
dies you hear someone in the background say, "Close one.". Weak amateurs
you mumble to yourself. "Sir, the attack was stopped, what is our next move?"
"Marines & Medics."
"Tech to Wraiths."
"Start teching towards vultures." you command. Your four
generic SCV set out to gather minerals. There numbers slowly gain until
one starts work on a barracks, then a depo, and a refinery when in the distance
you hear a warning call. Before you know it, 6 zerglings are charging up
your ramp. SCVs are picked off one at a time. A lone marine is made,
then promptly shredded. Within minutes your whole base has been brought
down. "You have disgraced us commander.". Coming from T_Mac that hurt.
You walk back to your cabin with your head turned low listening to the
screams in the background. Explosions echo throughout the complex as your
life comes to end. The battle is over, the mighty Terran have fallen
to a sad bunch of lings.
Start Over.
"Marines & Medics, lets stick with the basics.""Sir, yes sir."
Construction of two more barracks begin. Marines are steadily pumped
out of the original rax. A supply depo is laid down as well as an academy.
A ComSat has begun and the other barracks are now complete. 12 marines are
waiting with 4 medics. You scan and find the zerg base. You make note
of the hydralisk den and hit the trails. Along the walk to the main as any commander
knows any number of things can change. Techs can switch, men move,
expansions can be canceled. Some quick recon is no excuse for skill.
Once you arrive one marine is sent in to scout out there defenses.
There are 4 sunken colonies and 5 hydras. You ponder
plans. You weigh the possibilities of you defeating the zerg forces, sunken are strong
especially with hydralisk back up, but you have medics, either way
it will be a close fight. Your finishing your thoughts when you are requested
for orders by a marine.
"Attack head on."
"Charge past the sunks."
"Im feeling brave, lets risk it and go for wraiths."
"Are you sure you want to risk everything on such an important battle?"
"Of course I am, how do expect to win any battles with out taking a
risk here and there?""But si...""Shut the hell up, I said do it!""Yes
sir." Construction has started on a factory by now, as well as a depo.
Soon they are finished and 2 starports are constructed. A control tower
is started on one of them for upgrades, and the blinking lights flash.
Soon a small army of 6 wraiths are on stand by with cloak ready. You
fly toward the Zerg main with hopes of catching them with there pants down.
Along the way you come across an overlord which is blown to pieces. The
main is in site, and your confidence is starting to build. You fly right
over the lair with no resistance! Drones pop left and right. Then, out of
no where comes 24 hydralisks surrounding you. You try to cloak but its
to late overlords are in range. "Your pilots have been destroyed" T_Mac
informs you. Silence falls over the battle field as you attempt to
build more wraiths, but it doesn't last long. Hydras in numbering in the
30's are at your door steps. You watch as your base is demolished with
ease. In a last attempt you try to lift off your command center. "BOOM!!
BOOM!! BOOM!!" are the last sounds you hear as scourge come crashing into you.
Its over...the war is lost...
Start over
"Charge past those damn sunken colonies!""Sir, its risky.
are you positive? We aren't sure that we can take them head on, they are very strong.
Lets wait until reinforcements arrive to take out the sunks.""Are you questioning my authority
captain?" "No sir,
of course not, Its up to you
sir." Your marines muster up there courage and charge. Green spikes
fly and your troops run harder. A marine dies, then another and another
but before you know it your safe out of the sunks range. The hydras follow
and are disposed of by your remaining men. "Success!" you shout a little
to loudly. But just as soon as the words came out of our mouth your
flanked by 2 groups of 12 zerglings. They dash madly toward you snarling
with claws in the air. The marines open fire on both sides as medics
work there hardest. Blood is spilled in a massive pool with no difference
between the two species. In the end your forces come out on top. A sigh
of religh is heard throughout the conference room. Six marines left and
3 medics. The main is in site of your marines. But before you break out
the wine, the zerg still have an expansion and you haven’t destroyed there main yet.
You work your way toward the main carefully checking for any insects burrowed
waiting for a chance to pop up and get in a few cheap shots. The tension is
almost unbearable when all of a sudden spines shoot up from the ground destroying
another marine. "SCAN! SCAN! SCAN!" you yell at the top of your lungs.
You have never been so happy to see the sparkly blue crystals fill the air.
A large shadow is seen in the ground and is drilled with bullets. A
small explosion erupts under the earth and blood squirts up from under the
dirt. You move past the corpse and finally arrive at the main. "What should
strike first?" you are questioned.
"Attack the tech buildings, that will slow em down."
"Lets go hunt down some drones."
"Attack head on. We are true soldiers of the UEFD, show no
mercy.""Commander,
this is risky business, it will be a close battle. Maybe we should wait
for reinforcements...""Fu*king Pus*y, get out of my office.""Next person
to question me gets shot. Understand!""Sir, yes sir." replied the whole
committee. "Stim and move out" is heard over the intercom and the marines
all take a hit off the best drug ever, stimulant..."Thats the stuff." The
medics get to work at healing the wounded marines. They haul ass towards
the sunken showing no sign of stopping. Machine gun fire blazes, spikes
tear through the earth like a firebat through lings, green spikes spit and
blood fills the air. What seems like hours go by until its down to a lone marine
and single hydra. "SHRIEK!!" splash, and the marine hits the ground with a
thump. Your whole command center shakes. You take a look on security
camera's and see 12 mutalisks spraying the building with acid before the
screen goes blank. You unload your bunker from earlier in a last attempt
at survival. But they stand no chance. Zergling reinforcements arrive
just in time to watch the last building be destroyed. Your troops have
failed, the Lost Temple has been compromised to the Zerg. You will
forever be known as a failure and a disgrace.
Start Over
"Lets tare down some of those god damn tech buildings.""Sir,
are you sure thats wise? Are numbers are few and...""Shut the hell up, of
course its wise, we need to weaken them so that reinforcements can finish the
job.""But..""God damn it, this is your last chance." Bullets cover a
hydralisk den and blood begins to squirt out of it. Soon it explodes and they
move on to a spawning pool. Its half finish when in the distance a roar
echoes the land. 30 lings and 4 ultralisks are staring you down. You drop
your guns and are paralyzed with fear. The ground thumps as the mighty army makes
there way toward you. Your men try to put up a fight, but its of no uses.
They are trampled by the mighty Zerg army and before your last man blacks out
you notice them turning toward your main. "Every man on deck, time to rock and roll."
All of your men meet at your choke and open fire at the massive Zerg army,
but it is of little use. A few zerglings fall to your troops but are otherwise unharmed.
Realizing that you could lift off and be home free you prompt your men for lift off.
But at the last minute you decide to reserve what little dignity you still have left and stay
put.
Start Over
"Lets pop some drone mother fu*kers baby.""Sir, but what
about there tech buildings?""What did I just say, kill the damn drones!!"
"But sir, wha...""SHUT THE HELL UP!!""Sir, yes sir." Your troops move toward the
mineral patch and take cover. They blast away at any drone
that comes near them. Drones explode covering the earth with a thin layer
of blood. When there is no more drones left they move to the other side
of the base. They begin to fire at the first building they see. The ground
below them begins to shake and out pop 6 lings hiding underground. Bullets
blazes through the air and the zerglings are turned to piles of guts. Your loyal
troops continue to demolish the base. After that base is destroyed there still remains
one expansion. Your men move just out of site. You are now faced
with the problem of what to do next. Attacking head on could
be risky because your not sure of your enemies units. But it could end the
battle in a hurry. How much men could the Zerg have anyways?
"Attack head on, lets get this over with."
"Lets wait for reinforcements, better safe than sorry."
You camp out until 3 tanks and 10 rines arrive.
The tanks siege and the infantry gather infront of them. Glass shattering
shots are fired and soon whats left of the zerg forces are forced to show them selves.
12 zerglings and 6 hydralisks came out of hiding. And charged blindly at
your men. A long and bloody battle ensues and your men come out on top.
With the Zerg forces turned to mush and yours still solid you easily dispose of
the remaining buildings and return home. Along the way home with your welcoming
party insight 3 gigantic ultralisks intercept your path. Your men fire blindly toward
the direction of the beasts. The three tanks force every inch of fire power they have but
the ultras keep coming. The ground rumbles as one falls. The remaining two begin to rip
through the seemingly pathetic marines. Seven marines die for the cost of one ultra. The
three
siege tanks unseige just as the last marine explodes into a pool of red blood
and guts. Thump, thump, thump and then the final ultralisk falls marking
the point of victory for the proud UEFD."Congradulations commander, We Are
VICTORIOUS!!!" Cheers can be heard from a mile away and it must have been,
the proudest moment in your life. You will go down in history as the man
that saved The Lost Temple.
You've defeated the Zerg and saved The Lost
Temple
"Does it look like I have all day? Lets get this battle over with.""If your
positive commander.""I am.""Okay then, you heard the man." Your remaining war torn
marines
prepare for one final confrontation. The war could come down to this one battle. This is
the
most important moments of any of there lives. They hit there stim packs one last time.
Medics
repair any damage done and they charge in. A crack is heard and one rine looks behind
him to
see his best friend with a spike coming out his head. He turns back around and
recognizes the threat.
"It's the sunks we ran by before!" He shivers and fires his turbo charged gun at the half
building
half monster. The blood begins to flow and he is gaining confidence in himself. The
blood is flowing
heavier and heavier and finally, it pops. The sunken colonies are destroyed. Few forces
are left,
but they decide to make do. They run into the center of a pack of drones gathering
minerals and let lose.
The drones deciding that they wont stand for this form a circle and close in. The marine
notices
an egg explode in the distance. As it approaches it looks more and more like the ugliest
thing hes
ever seen. By now its close enough to touch him, but instead it digs a quick whole in the
ground and
gone. All your other marines have been lost to the drones. Its man vs beast. He opens
fire, but
whithen seconds spikes shoot up from the ground and collapse him into a pile of flesh.
Youd been so
busy watching what would hopefully be the final battle you didn’t even notice the pack of
overlords
flying toward you. Out piles 4 more lurkers and 4 hydras. Apparently that was a
diversion all along,
and a successful one at that. The lurks burrow and kill anything that comes near, while
the hydras
raze buildings left and right. The battle is over, and the war is lost. If you hadnt been so
cocky
maybe your reinforcements would be at your main instead of destroying a decoy. You try
to lift off
and save your fight for another day, but its to late. The hydras have you targeted and
your not getting
away. You die a cowards death.
Start Over
