When Anyantha Whitecross found Vanz Kerrigan she was relieved he was safe. Then he demanded she follow him and started raving about how they were going to show the alien who was in charge. At that point Anyantha got scared.
Evan Evaide heard Anyantha’s voice coming from his com watch, “Evan, are you there?”
“Anya are you all right? Is anything strange happening where you are? Everyone is acting weird down here?”
“I think there is something wrong with Mr. Kerrigan. I think he tried to take control of the ship from Zai again. Evan, Mr. Kerrigan is acting like he’s lost his mind. I’m not even sure where we are going.”
Before Evan and Anyantha could talk more the signal for the com watch went dead. Evan was sure it was a bad sign. He put on his data frames and grabbed a data pad and went to work. Weeks ago when Kerrigan was planning his first attempt to take control of the Daedlus from Zai, he had come to Evan. He had asked Evan to find a way to track Zai’s movement throughout the ship. The ship was an enclosed system. Whenever someone moved in it they displaced air. Evan had used that to account for Zai’s body mass and follow him. Evan used that same method now. But he put in different parameters and used it to find Anyantha.
“What do you think you are doing?” said Kerrigan as he tore the com watch from Anyantha’s wrist, “Who were you talking to? What have you and your boyfriend been up to? I thought you were loyal.”
“Mr. Kerrigan this is not you,” said Anyantha, “please just listen to me.”
“Kerrigan,” shouted Roweth. He strode forward and said, “We were wrong Kerrigan. Look at what is happening. This is exactly what the Spectral Horde wanted. Zai was the only one that could have stopped this and we disabled him. We played right into their hands. You have to wake up Kerrigan. When Zai hit me it knocked me back to my senses.”
“You are nothing but a traitor,” said Kerrigan as he jumped on Roweth.
Roweth was still uneasy from being punched by Zai. He was not ready to be attacked by a man just as large as him but ten times as angry. Kerrigan got hold of Roweth’s gun.
“Mr. Kerrigan, stop it,” screamed Anyantha.
“Are you a traitor too now?” accused Kerrigan.
He hit Anyantha with the butt of the gun. She fell down. She felt her head bleeding from the blow. Then she felt more pain as Kerrigan started kicking her. Anyantha could not get up. She was in too much pain to think. So she started kicking back. She got in a lucky blow. Kerrigan lost is footing and fell. Anyantha pulled herself up in a sitting postion. Her forehead was bleeding and her side was bruised. She saw Kerrigan get back up. The mad look in his eye was gone. Mr. Kerrigan was back. He looked at the gun in his hands. Roweth got back up too. He started telling Kerrigan that they had been wrong that they needed Zai. Kerrigan shot him before he could finish. Roweth fell against a wall and slid back to the ground leaving a bloody smear behind. Then Kerrigan was gone the other way.
