Stukov Kills Xel'naga Narud (Starcraft 2 | Kerrigan, Raynor, Artanis Into the Void)

After Amon's banishment into the Void on Aiur, Sarah Kerrigan started hearing a benevolent voice echo out of the Void. She contacted Hierarch Artanis and Commander Jim Raynor and told them that though Amon was defeated he was not dead. She wanted to use the void portal in Ulnar to send a fleet into the Void itself and kill Amon personally, to end the threat of him once and for all. The two agreed, and sent their fleets through the Ulnar portal. The combined fleets entered the Void, but were assailed by shadows. They followed the strange benevolent voice through the darkness, and investigated. There they encountered the voice of Tassadar, who stated he was held prisoner and needed to be freed from the grasp of Emil Narud, who was revealed to be nearby and in his true xel'naga form. He sent void thrashers to engage the three factions.
Together they fought through swaths of void corruption, cleansing the void and setting up forward positions closer and closer to Narud. Eventually, the three factions managed to assail Narud himself, and annihilated his defenses. Alexei Stukov personally slew Narud with a single corrosive bolt, finally getting revenge for the death and torture he suffered by Narud's hand.
Artanis moved to communicate with Tassadar, who was still in his ghostly spirit form. Artanis was pleased to see his former master again, but the vision revealed himself to be a xel'naga named Ouros, who chose the form of Tassadar to inspire Dark Prelate Zeratul and Artanis to fight Amon. He revealed he was the one who had called to them, as Kerrigan was needed to absorb his essence and ascend as xel'naga. Only as xel'naga could Kerrigan fight Amon. Raynor protested, but Kerrigan stated this was the only way to make right the suffering she had caused.

Stukov finally avenge the deaths of the UED Expeditionary Fleet and Gerard DuGalle.

[@archiraph1548]

Well they all got killed by Kerrigan and her Swarm. I don't see how he avenged them by siding with her.

[@micaelchinatsumaki4446]

What I mean is that Narud or Duran during Brood Wars was the reason why Stukov got killed because he was suspicious to Duran and Duran decides to trick Gerard that Stukov is a traitor because he was a obstacle to his plans and Stukov wanted to destroy the Zergs instead of controlling them and if Gerard did listen to Stukov they might have won the war and as of Stukov joining Kerrigan in StarCraft 2, Kerrigan during Brood Wars was under the influence of the Overmind and Amon so she has no control of herself and Stukov is a unique infested terran that can think and can do what he wants to do and he cannot go back to Earth and if he did manage to get back they might kill him or experimented on him so he has no choice but join Kerrigan, I mean sure its awkward to join the one of the reason that your allies and friends are dead but since he has no place to go and she is the only one who would accept him as he is then he has no choice but to join and Amon was everyone enemy and there is a saying that "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." and in the end he manage to kill Duran who is the reason why Stukov got turn into an infested terran and why Gerard is dead the UED Expeditionary Fleet got defeated and scattered. So as I said before Stukov avenge the deaths of his allies by killing Duran who trick Gerard into believing him and being use as pawn to his plans till the vey end without knowing it.

[@marcoboscarol2420]

He avenged his own death not theirs

[@Botar48]

Narud used Kerrigan as a puppet. He sabotaged UED war effort and created perfect opening for Kerrigan. While Kerrigan was the tool that destroyed UED fleet real mastermind was Narud. Old Kerrigan ''died'' when xel'naga construct fired so only one left to kill to avange the deaths of UED Expeditionary Fleet was Narud whom got killed in this video.

[@micaelchinatsumaki4446]

@Valek O'Keefe I mean it's true that Kerrigan the one who destroyed most of the UED fleet, but if Gerard trusted Stukov more than Duran, the outcome might be different and who knows maybe the UED fleet might have won the war.

To Artanis, Raynor is up there with Fenix and Tassadar, a mentor and a father figure.

Hell, UED proved to be inferior to the Dominion when they arrived and had to loot their tech on the go. But then again, that's probably a strength rather than a weakness. Imagine the implications of even a possibility of the Third Overmind being engineered by a sole survivor from the Slave Broods project somewhere in relative safety, away from this madness. And actually making this Overmind stronger than the first and second ones combined based exclusively on the data from the outcome of the experiment in Koprulu. Those people made some massive innovations in record time, so this is not beyond any one of them.

[@lorenzoherreros6641]

the writers of course! The literal official phrase was "Amon unleashed the swarm, and the zerg devoured the xelnaga" Note how it doesnt say "enhanced" zerg, or "powered zerg" or "void fueled zerg". So thats the official fact, the zerg, plain and simply devoured the xel naga, without needing to be xel naga themselves. And yes, there´s a reason that the Overmind had special protections against most forms of damage.... It was the core of Amon´s plan to control the zerg! it was the most important piece of the entire chessboard, a brood of one, made specially to be the most powerful weapon at Amons disposal, and thus, was made very differently to regular zergs. Nonetheless, the fact that the Overmind is a very special organism with special powers and protections doesnt change the fact that the zerg (zerglings, hydralisks and a long etc) devoured the xel naga and killed them by the thousands.

[@spiritfired]

I find it fucking awesome that random CC spelled out Xel'Naga correctly.

"Your lawyers have engaged the enemy!"

[@1minutequickvideos-169]

everytime kerrigan says artanis, the subtitles say our tennis lmao

[@H20Good4Life]

The warriors that fought have fought with honor

[@DarknessIsThePath]

The game has the same flaw in story that Hollywood movies have, why in hell would Amon even let Ouros live in the first place lol

[@thunderplunder1013]

NC Quadraxis lol good question. Maybe he just got cocky. Hubris yo. Or since ouuros had a ton of power (kerrigan defeated Amon with it) so he probably tried to pick them off before they could get to him, no idea. Good question. I wanna know why as well

[@sindra309]

Mabey to use Ouuros as a way to recreate himself more faster?

[@TheKueiJin]

Or maybe Amon was weakened from the war with his kin... the war that left him in that place... Just like Narud said, when they die, they return to that place... Hence it's safe to say that both Ouuros and Amon were heavily wounded and had to return there, neither capable of killing each other, but only to move certain pieces on the board, as they always did... So yes... it makes sense that they aren't both dead... one because he had a fucking forcefield around him, the other because he simply didn't possess enough power to do so... But the pure wrath of Kerrigan, formed and reformed and reformed by all of her experiences. Her will was honed and tested many times, from the first zerg-ification, to the primal transformation...

[@DarknessIsThePath]

That's the main issue, whatever form the Xel'Naga have outside the realm of the void has no impact at all, the only thing Amon would have trouble with after his defeat is coming up with a plan and enough psionic energy so that he can manifest himself physically in the "real realm" essentially, but in the void he and Narud etc suffer no implications of their wounds done to them on their physical bodies outside the void. Plus the void is an extension of Amon's will, which would overpower Ouros sooner or later so once again, makes no sense that he would keep him prisoner, even less sense that Narud, a lesser Xel'Naga is able to keep Ouros prisoner at all.

[@nevermore7285]

Drain his power, perhaps?

[@Sinatra749]

HELLO DURAN

[@BoboMagroto26]

Feel like the missing dialogue from Kerrigan about needing help to destroy Amon would be like: "I know you all have a reason to not trust me... but Amon has affected all of us, and like me, you want to make him pay"

[@rheubhenncabizares9912]

Amon The King Of Hell Duran The Servant of Hell and Kerrigan The Guardian of Hell Turned Good

[@infinitygauntlet101]

Artanis face at 28:41 was like. " Tassa, wait ... who the fuck are you"

[@GreatWolfGrimnar]

Broodwar: Duran: "Say good night Stukov" LotV: Stukov: "I've come to say...'Goodnight', you son of a bitch" That kill was so satisfying

[@BIGESTblade]

It's like Zeratul forsaw everything.

[@soulkeeper007a]

Duran once said,”Say Goodnight.” to Stukov before killing hm in Starcraft. LOL

[@chocobanana5262]

28:42 also me when Tassadar become a giant catfish.

[@jussimursunen716]

Whereas Duran/Narud could mainifest himself as a shapeshifter, he was a lesser Xel'Naga, like the primal Zerg where to Zerg. Remember, Amon needed a host body, so he is one of the gods who can break the cycle (IOW a Xel'Naga from the beginning. Amon was not always cruel and bad, he fell. Like the fallen angels of God are Demons. Dura/Narud is an angle in that regard.

[@Flagdread]

An acute discription

[@gimmethegepgun]

27:24 What in the world are those interceptors doing right at the end against Narud? lol

[@ragerawke4818]

27:33 Finished the game but had to make sure that I heard this 1 more time

[@RagnaFan555]

Kinda sad that the battlecruisers are smaller.... maybe should turn them into battlecarriers.

[@Ryliath]

Yes, but we compare those battlecruisers to Leviathans that are said to be one of the largest spacefaring species and a Protoss ark ship that meant to act as the same way as "Noe's bark", just for the Protoss. One is a commander/transportation unit and the other is a freaking space fortress meant to save an advanced species from extinction. Compared to these, I don't see why should standard battlecruisers be an equal.

[@thundersoul6795]

It's only logical that pure combat ships would be quite... _compact_ compared to a world ship and space giants.

[@zchen27]

Well, Egon did invent Mecha-Battle-Carrier-Lords so...

[@anniearbores5814]

Narud : you will fall Me with my mass voidray : Parry this you fucking casual

[@guilhemraboud7808]

As a Thor pilot would Say. "Open fire you imbécile" (In hots)

[@superfrycook6360]

It turns out that Narud is none other than Duran himself.

[@Batou3]

Something occurred to me. Could it be they planned this since the brood war this whole time?

[@kovacsattila8993]

Amon(Thanos) Duran(Loki) and Kerrigan(Doctor Doom)

[@WolfTrooperRex]

Narud/Duran: Have you come to kill me? Stukov: Yes… Narud/Duran: For revenge? Stukov: No… Raynor and Kerrigan: (cranking up the USSR Anthem) Stukov: This is for Vodka… for my Sandvich… my life… my best friend DuGalle… the fact you infested me… AND FOR PLAYING THIS RUSSIAN MAN LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE! (He fires a corrosive blast) Artanis, Horner and Valarian: Was that necessary? Raynor and Kerrigan: Yes Tassadar: (mind) I can’t believe these two are still chaotic…

[@MikMoen]

Terran Battlecruisers, Protoss Spear of Adun, and Zerg Leviathans all in the same Fleet.
