Arise, Duran, brave son of Aiur!

[@ExecutorNral]

The evolution of Duran is magnificent. He was a Terran once, then he was infested and became Zerg. Now, he is de-infested and turned into a Protoss. He is indeed the completion of a cycle. Behold the culmination of your history.

[@FenixtheDragoon]

Not even Amon was bold enough to make Terran-Zerg-Protoss hybrid. This is what the Conclave is capable of.

[@brandonvortex995]

Amon: it is beautiful

[@razorback9999able]

You can mix AI Duran with AI Zeratul to sound more Protoss.

[@ExecutorNral]

@@razorback9999able I think it would be hard to edit. I applied Zeratul's sound effect to Duran however. Seems like it didnt help much.

[@Saren-yc1rk]

Amusing...

[@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit]

The tragic bromance between Draliska and Duran is infinitely more captivating than Raynor simping for Kerrigan.

[@TheVoidIsCold]

True

[@FenixtheDragoon]

'Judicator, our creation has no nerve cords. He isn't connected with Khala!' 'This is heresy! Executor, prepare to take Duran into custody. The Conclave will execute him by the Khala's law.'

[@Ik3tos]

Says "templar Duran", no "dark templar Duran"

[@vermillionreaper]

No judicator, he has no nerve cords but in fact he is connected, bound to the Khala for the will of the conclave is absolute and he has a new wireless technology that let is acces de Khala

[@birdofterror6628]

(Installs wireless Khala)

[@Minizemful]

Poor Draliska, seeing what his friend has become.

[@lhfirex]

When we get to the part where Draliska says he's gonna be The Hydra to kill Duran someday, it's going to be really sad.

[@skyer3220]

YOU NEED TO CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS, DURAN!

[@jayzenstyle]

Draliska always looking out for his brood, no wonder they are close friends with Duran. He's a good guy.

[@Ricardo_Rick]

I can't wait to see the UZD, the United Zerg Directorate to come from earth in the next campaing and for them to create a second conclave and control all the protoss

[@AmericanZergling]

Would it be Earth or Zerus?

[@Ricardo_Rick]

@@AmericanZergling Earth, Zerus it the home of the primal terran

[@matthiasschulz5750]

Nah, I do think zerus, seeing as the protoss still live on aiur. However, I can't wait for the conclave to build its citadel on earth!

[@AmericanZergling]

@@Ricardo_Rick The Terran are replacing Protoss here, so Earth/UED characters would probably be some kind of Shakuras/Dark Templar equivalent. Or they might just make Earth Aiur and the UED characters the Conclave (which could make sense).

[@Ricardo_Rick]

@@AmericanZergling wait, but didn't duran just became a protoss, doesn't that mean the protoss are the zerg? and draliska is raynor?

"Arise, Duran, brave son of Aiur!" "What was that, Judicator? Sorry but your signal is fading out." "Amuzing."

[@ikantbutitried9283]

Someone PLEASE make another parallel universe campaign where Tassadar plants a broadcasting satellite (similar to the SC1 multiplayer one) to attract the Terrans, get abandoned by the Conclave, get converted to Terran, etc etc etc

[@ikantbutitried9283]

Also can't wait to see Duke (actually) teaching Duran tactics and discipline like Tassadar did to Kerri LOL

[@acb1511]

There ARE Zerg-Protoss hybrids in SC2, didn't hear anything about a Protoss-Terran hybrid.

[@tarvoc746]

​​@@acb1511A Protoss Terran Hybrid exists in the SC Manga (created by Dominion scientists if I'm not mistaken). Also Christ-Kerrigan at the end of LotV is technically a hybrid of all three species plus Xel'naga (but that's fucking dumb, so feel free to ignore it).

[@Blazieth]

@@ikantbutitried9283 I have bad news for you - Duke isn't Tassadar here.

[@UEDCommander]

I did lay down basis for that swap as well, but Im not actually sure I will ever finish it. Im not particularly interested in making Protoss -> Zerg episodes, but ep 1 episode applied to Protoss and ep 2 episode applied to Terrans I have some rather interesting ideas for.

[@AmandaFessler]

The Conclave have done the unthinkable... they've turned Duran into Zeratul! Dark Templar was actually pretty low on my guess list. So kudos to the campaign makers for pulling this off. Well played, Executor!

[@stylesrj]

Meanwhile in another universe, Zeratul arises as The Man and he likes who he is and swears to conquer the whole sector. Then in the final level Raynor has to fight off the Nerazem Dominion, the United Taldarim Directorate and The Swarm/Primal alliance... "I am Raynor, The Man who swears to kill you all someday. Be seeing you."

[@rRecoveryProd]

I'm guessing Zeratul arises as a cyborg (though still with an epidermal cover), and given the surname Raynor. Tassadar is distraught with the conversion (and would be more pissed if he discovers how short Terran lifespans are), but Raynor lets him go after blowing up his Nexus.

[@rRecoveryProd]

Tassadar: Zeratul! Is that really you?! Raynor: You're half right. Rather, my mind is a mix of both the Zeratul you know, and one James Raynor, a highly revered soldier from before who had died a few years ago. All in a cyborg body. Neat, huh? Tassadar: The psionic messages, I thought you were reaching out to me somehow. Yet how can Terrans... Raynor: I was. You and Raszagal both, though it seems she sent Aldaris to try to get me back. But I'm afraid it's too late. You're not taking me back. I'm a Terran now. And it feels really good to be on their side. Tassadar: So, is this where my life ends? By your hands? Raynor: Nah. I certainly can, and I really should, but I won't. You and your boys are free to go, but this is a one-time offer, and only for my squadron. If you ever cross the Dominion again, I cannot promise you'll escape alive. Tassadar: Very well, then. Brothers, we are leaving Tarsonis now!

[@Storm2war]

oh turning a zerg into protoss talk about advanced technology

[@kenton6804]

A dark templar, a servant of the conclave? Aldaris's choice of agents grows ever more inexplicable.

[@Endru85x]

In the next episode, Duran claims the matrix of leadership and becomes Duranus Prime.

[@ForThePrince]

then he blew up the science vessel unicron

[@jonsku6662]

Aldaris: "Rise, brave son, arise.. wait, he is a fallen one! Herecy!" *New Objective: Kill Duran*

[@spike333s3]

Ghost become Dark Templar. Amusing. He has permanently cloak instead of 2 other abilities. Let me guess: He will unlock Psionic Storm 2 missions later.

[@hiei49]

If this continues with SC2, Duran will end up turning into a xelnaga. Every path leads to Rome lol

[@ziephel-6780]

Main universe Aldaris: Tassadar has failed to purify the Terrans, as well as the Zerg This Aldaris: I don't care if you were an infested, least of all a Terran. The Protess shall convert you to the Khala

[@rRecoveryProd]

Makes me wonder what the AU book counterpart, Lord of Fire, would be like. Mengsk and Stukov have to lead their stranded men around Aiur, which compared to Char has civilization, therefore it's both harder and interesting (like spying on civilian Protoss). And not only do they have to mediate between their men bickering over past histories, they also have Draliska (and probably a smaller band of Zerg than Canon!Raynor's) tagging along. A very bizarre adventure, to put it mildly.

[@myriadmediamusings]

The dreams Duran would torment Draliska with would be...amusing, to say the least.

[@kenton6804]

Also, the writing translated to this situation so well. Draliska was genius.

[@Acecard-jl2py]

I’m curious if this campaign will give Dark Templar Duran any special abilities after the next mission.

[@LuminousLead]

Yeah, I was half expecting him to be a spellcaster (cloak/lockdown) here too

[@snowballs7007]

Although Draliska and Duran sounded like homies, I know SC2 would've made them gay for each other.

[@ExecutorNral]

I'm sure nearly all of the game companies would do that in this era of darkness.

[@theolanderdilag3872]

​​@@ExecutorNral And it is deemed fake for clout. Clearly, companies have failed us. Once more, I'm afraid.

[@mattm6741]

Duran becoming a Dark Templar was rather neat.

[@momom6197]

I just realized. At the very end of this series, we will see the Empire triumphantly crush the pathetic fleets of the Swarm and the Dominion!

[@Rukasu.2603]

Damn, I freaking love Duran's lines as a Protoss 🤩 he's sound so cool and menacing

[@borisalarcon7504]

0:01 Fenix is giving this briefing drunk.

[@Crossil]

I was kinda expecting him to become an Archon or Dark Archon.

[@alexandrshpenev3675]

Yeah... I also thought he would be an archon in this campaign.

[@notshockwavedemon7543]

Imagine we get a Strong Archon Hero which is basically like Torrasque.

[@ivankuzin8388]

@@notshockwavedemon7543 Hmm, they will have to replace the Torrasque with some Protoss unit, right? :)

[@freedomfightermatt5149]

I'm very curious on how the Terran characters are going to be presented in the Protoss Campaign. Though I doubt it, it would be funny to see Duke be either Tassadar of Fenix, where he'll teach Duran 'tactics', or with Fenix's revival with Duke saying something along the lines of 'his consciousness was retrieved and placed within a body or a damn yokel' or somewhere along those lines.

[@Tower-kn1dr]

iirc mengsk is tassadar

[@theraginggamer095]

duke is aldaris in this one

[@duanefernando8456]

I think Jim would play the role of Tassadar, where he channels Dominion energy and steers the Hyperion into a collision course with Aldaris

[@BlackPsionic]

[@InsaneRandom]

Behold, for the next Executor's video shall be the 1000th of them.

I mean, Narud was a xel'naga who specialized in making Hybrid, so in a way... Hybrid on Aiur? More possible than you think!

[@Umbra_of_Emberspike]

That moment when you realize that Draliska is going to eventually vow to kill Duran for backstabbing his allies right after helping liberate Kerrigan's Swarm from the United Zerg Directorate... Wonder what Terran character is going to replace Fenix as Raynor/Draliska's cross-species friend...? If I'm following this correctly, still missing some blanks, but I can see we're getting there: Duke => Zasz Raynor => Draliska Arcturus => Kerrigan Kerrigan => Duran Adjutant => Mind Courier (flying Queen with Izsha's voice) Overmind => Aldaris Daggoth => Tassadar Zasz => Fenix Aldaris => Duke Fenix => Raynor Tassadar => Arcturus Zeratul => Artanis => Raszagal => Dugalle => Stukov => Duran =>

[@stylesrj]

Jayborino already did this campaign so I kinda sorta know what'll happen. You want the spoilers? :D

[@Umbra_of_Emberspike]

@@stylesrj That'd be fine by me.

[@stylesrj]

@@Umbra_of_Emberspike Well, Arcturus is Tassadar and he steers the Norad III into the Psionic Matrix. I think Aldaris is Duke. The Terrans then take a gate to Braxis to meet with the UED who are the Dark Templar... Raynor is Fenix and when he dies as a Marine he goes to a hospital and they patch him up with cybernetics and give him a Vulture bike...

[@Umbra_of_Emberspike]

@@stylesrjInteresting. So if the Dark Templar are UED, does that mean Stukov replaces Zeratul and Dugalle replaces Razsagal?

[@stylesrj]

@@Umbra_of_Emberspike I think so. Also for a fun fact: the UED equivalent are the Primals who've come all the way from Zerus. They actually have their own units and infrastructure, sort of like the UED in the UEDAIP mod.

[@kevinyu1224]

Draliska: Duran!? Amusing...you're still alive?

[@joonjoon819]

The music that plays during the scene hits me in the feels. Draliska sounds so defeated to witness what his friend has become, even though his voice is AI generated. The music plays a big part in making it convincing. Way better than simping Raynor.

[@DrCryos]

my god these ai voices, especially the one for aldaris, or have you ask Paul Eding to record new lines?

[@ExecutorNral]

Not really. I asked a friend of mine to imitate Paul's Aldaris and his voice. He did an excelent job. I also did my part by pitching down the voice close to Paul's and cloned them. Thats why AI voices sound a little different than the original but pretty close to the original Aldaris.
