Kerrigan struggled back to her feet, as a sick smile plastered her face. Looking at the enemy in front of her, she took into account all the innumerable injuries they had given her. Countless burns and cuts, holes riddling her legs and abdomen, and a left arm rendered completely useless.
Sarah looked over her injuries with a chuckle.
“You’ve went to such efforts. You’ve put everything you have into stopping me. I’m quite impressed.”
Sarah’s eyes flitted between her opponents, as her chuckling stopped abruptly.
“Congratulations. You’ve actually managed to irritate me.”
Kerrigan walked forward with a vicious glare. A golden aura of energy collected around her body, spilling off her like water that withered all it touched. Plants rotted, rocks crumbled into powder, and any unlucky warrior who found themselves between Sarah and her prey were flung into the nearest wall by an invisible force, be they defender or demon.
“I’ll reward you appropriately.”
Kerrigan’s mouth half-opened as her eyes gained a predatory edge. A trio of hydralisks erupted from the soil behind her opponents, ejecting a hail of needles at her opponents. Kerrigan simply stood within the crossfire with a confident smile.
“Come now, why not try once more to destroy me? I’m in range, and it’s two on one.”
While Hiro was forced to dodge, Strazio simply blew the spines away with a howl of rage, and Kerrigan knew that in an instant, the experienced wizard could close the distance, grab onto her skull, and crush her head into powder effortlessly. Sarah, of course, had planned for this.
A chittering sound echoed from underneath the Avatar of Anger, and a fanged maw burst from the ground, grabbing onto his leg, and holding him in place. Zerglings burst through the ground beneath Strazio, slavering jaws clamping onto his legs. Twin blasts of white-hot energy stunned the monstrous creatures, and the Zerg released their grip, but the attack had done it’s job; Strazio turned his gaze back to Sarah just in time for a salvo of needle spines to streak towards the center of his chest and impact with a dull thud.
The golden-white being glared at Kerrigan one last time as he fell to the ground, eerily still.
“Bitch!” A voice yelled from behind her, and Kerrigan turned just in time to see a familiar speedster attacking from her left.
Kerrigan snapped her fingers, and before the man could complete his strike, the sudden appearance of a snake-like monster erupting out from under his feet knocked him over.
“Oh, don’t be so angry. I gave him a warrior’s death. It’s what his kind wish for. You, on the other hand…”
Kerrigan’s face twisted to one of sheer rage, as she delivered a vicious low kick to the prone swordsman's face.The sword-master reeled onto his back from the kick, and Sarah wasted no time in picking him up by the throat and walking towards the wall. An unlucky demon was knocked into Sarah’s way, forced back by a burly Darkshire swordsman. Kerrigan simply glanced at the both of them, and her hydralisk followed the mental command, barrages of needle spines leaving both combatants pinned dead against the wall.
“Are you really having trouble with this rabble? Perhaps you’re not the warriors Illidan spoke of.” Kerrigan stated with a frown, her voice echoing unnaturally across the melee.
“I was told of warriors that could pulverize Darkshire’s troops into dust, elite soldiers far beyond mortal strength. So far, I’m not impressed.”
Sarah strode forward, slamming Hiro by the neck into the breached wall, even as she continued.
“I assure you, whatever these defenders do is nothing compared to the fate I will bestow upon cravens and trash.”
Sarah’s sadistic grin returned, as her wings stabbed directly into the upper fat of Hiro’s shoulders.
“Case in point.” Sarah added, her voice returned to normal volume.
Purposefully, she avoided any vital areas, but Hiro’s answering scream told her that she’d still hit quite a few nerves. Shifting her grip from Hiro’s neck to the front of his face, she lifted the Protagonist up into the air with little effort, before slamming his head against the wall once more.
“Hiro Protagonist” Sarah spat with naked anger. “I’m afraid your crude humor has ceased to amuse.”
“Y-you bitch…” The man managed to stammer out. Kerrigan merely growled in response.
“Go ahead. Bark like the whipped pup you are.”
Kerrigan started walking, dragging the Protagonist’s face against the stone. Killing him in this fashion would have been easy, but she kept the pace just slow enough to merely leave his face a bloody mess. The swordsman let out a muffled, pained scream as his response. Kerrigan’s next move was simply to whip the protesting swordsman by the back of his hair onto the ground. Hiro’s visage was covered in bruises and newly-minted scars, and blood seeped from the man’s wounds.
“You’ve been quite the thorn in my side, I’ll give you that. It’s why you deserve such a humiliating end.”
Kerrigan picked Hiro up by the dreadlocks. Her dagger like wings cut just above his scalp, tearing most of his hair from his head, and dropping the samurai into the dirt once more.
“The next time you think to get in my way, remember this pain. This humiliation.”
The swordsman just stared at Sarah resolutely. Or, more accurately, he stared at something behind the Queen of Blades. Kerrigan’s eyebrow raised in confusion. What was he-
Sudden, debilitating pain arced through Kerrigan’s back, as a billion nerve endings recoiled in agony.
“Who the hell-” Kerrigan started to say, before looking to her right in shock.
Next to her was a severed wing, twitching in the mud.
Her severed wing.
Turning around with unmasked rage across her features, Kerrigan saw the glowing face of Strazio glaring back, holding up a spine-covered wrist - the same projectiles Kerrigan believed had shattered the Defender of Darkshire’s collarbone. The unspoken statement could clearly be read in the wizard’s expression.
You missed.

Kerrigan: T1 super-assist: Zerglings, Needle spines, Telekinesis, Wing-blades, physical proficiency, and telepathy to "amplify" her speaking voice.
