Protoss Is Power (a.k.a PIP)

Part I: A Slumbering Giant Awakens….

The constant ringing of the phone did not stop.

Annoyed by the noise in his handphone, Pip wearily grabbed his mobile phone from his table. Groggily, he answered the phone.

“Pip, wtf are you? Its 9.30 now and we are all waiting for you” asked Raz.

“Crap. I didn’t get any messages about the game time. Will come in right now” replied Pip.

Fortunately, his keyboard and mouse were all wireless made it easier for him to log on to his computer. But the problem was not the keyboard and mouse but his grogginess. “Urgh”. Yes, Pip had woke up with a painful headache and it seemed to be getting worse when he was suddenly disturbed by Raz’s call.

“Damn. This hurts. I need a drink.” thought Pip.

As he moved towards the kitchen, he quickly rustled into his fridge trying to find some liquids to help ease the pain in his head. To his relief, he saw about half a dozen of 100 plus isotonic can drinks. Without a moment’s notice, he gulped down the contents of a bottle.

“Ah yeah…some stuff” thought Pip.

However, while the 100 plus helped, it did not help very much. “Need something stronger…”. If he was in Melbourne right now, Pip would have hopped into the nearest 7 eleven at his place to get some Columbian Cola. Trouble is, he was not in Melbourne at the moment.

“Gwah!!!” Pip yelled. The pain was unbearable now. It felt like a Protoss Psiblade searing through his head a thousand times Pip needed something stronger. Fast. There were no other drinks stronger than what was needed by him. He needed a drink that could help suppress the pain for a longer period of time.

Suddenly, his eye glimpsed on a brown like powdery form substance stored in a bottle. Despite having constant pains in his head, Pip could read the ingredient contents in the bottle clearly.

“WARNING: CONTAINS CAFFEINE” he read aloud.

As he placed the bottle down, another object caught his eye. Smashing through the box with his barefists, he took what appeared to be no more bigger than a slip of paper but contained many many small little tablets.

“FOR INSTANT RELIEF OF PAIN AND HEADACHES” Pip read again.

An idea suddenly came to his mind. It might just work he thought. Having experimented on many different concoctions in his lifetime already, Pip ripped off the coffee bottle cover and peeled off the plastic film which contained the tablets.

He then took a can of 100 plus and poured its contents into a cup. This was then followed up with a spoonful of caffeine and 2 aspirin tablets. The cup then sizzled, and with it, the promise to power. Without a moment of hesitation again, Pip dranked the contents of the bottle. It tasted bitter due to the caffeine but the neutralizing effect of the aspirin and 100 plus made it easier for him to consume its contents.

Suddenly, Pip’s world was filled with bright, bright colors. He realized that his senses had just been heightened. The effects were miraculous to behold for Pip as the throbbing headache was no longer in his head. “ Much better” he thought. He then scurried back to his room.

Part II - The Wrath of Pip.

Game I – The Hunt Begins….

Game 1 started off with Huntress, a map well known by Pip. However, he still felt the adrenalin rushing through his head. It will take some time to get used to it, but nevertheless Pip felt confident of handling anything that comes in his way. Just to be certain, he messaged his teammate Druggy to lead the way first before he could recollect himself properly.



Its was not more than 5 minutes into the game, the sounds of dark templars could be heard charging into Druggy’s base:-



GAME's Assassins slowly moves in for the kill....

While one of GAME's assassin silently kills of a poor helpless worker, another moves in for the kill. The marines are helpless to do anything as the the turret's line of sight is much lower.

Stealthily, another dark templar moves into Druggy's base. Making use of the open crevice, the dark templar slowly slides into the active mineral patch. The SCVs can only wait and see what horrors await them.

“Predictable” thought Pip, as he steadily loaned to Druggy a Protoss observer to Druggy’s base. The dark templars met a quick and painless death as they were gunned down by bullets. Templars were seen vanishing into thin air as their life source were pierced by machine guns. The tide of the battle was turned by a weaponless observer in Druggy’s base.

With the aid of the observer, the line of sight of the marines are now magnified. All that remained now is launch a counter attack.

"Druggy you okay?" messaged Pip.

"Yeah, thanks for the assist." replied Druggy.

"You just sit tight and provide the cover fire. I'll deal with Raz (Zerg)" messaged Pip.

"Okay." replied Druggy.

Selecting an elite group of Dragoons and Zealots, Pip divided the troops into 2 batches. One for taking out Raz, while the other to keep GAME's DT busy. The first platoon which consisted of Dragoons and marines rampaged towards Raz's base taking out anything that stood in their way.

Behold! The might of Pip's army! The micro of one Zealot just for the sole purpose of taking out the Raz's workers.

At this point of time also, Pip's army that consisted of Zealots were also giving GAME's DT's a hard time. For the purposes of minimising the damage done by the dark templars, Pip had equipped the Zealots with leg enhancements. The Zealots now moved at an astounding speed making it difficult for the dark templars to assasinate them.

The Zealots moved swiftly, making it difficult for the dark templars to assasinate them.

Seeing that his teammate had just been crippled also, GAME had no choice but to quit the game. Pip was pleased with this victory as he single handedly defeated GAME and Raz. The might and speed of power was on his side today. Dirty tactics or dishonorable ones are no match for the wrath of power and speed.

Morale of the Post: NEVER, NEVER ever disturb a slumbering Tauren....
