In Utter Darkness
Jim Raynor: I don’t think I want to see any vision of the Overmind’s … But if Kerrigan’s involved … I need to know.
Overmind: On a distant, shadowed world, the protoss will make their final stand. Their heroes will gather, their forces will be marshaled, and they will die bravely. But still, they will die.
And my zerg … will be slaves … to the hybrid. All will bow before the power … of the Fallen One.

Mission Intro
Zeratul: Protoss brethren, heed me! The last twilight has fallen. The galaxy burns around us! The terrans have been consumed. We are all that stands against the shadow. But if we are to meet our end this day, then we will do so AS ONE! En Taro Tassadar!
High Templar: Great one, the vault is prepared. Guard us while we preserve our knowledge for those that may follow. They must not make the mistakes we did.
Urun: I have rallied the last of our great fleet!
Zeratul: Your timing is impeccable, Admiral Urun! When the enemy takes to the air, we will need your support.
Dark Voice: The zerg performed their function as I planned … My Hybrid are proof of this. Now, the last of the protoss will fulfill their function … In death!
Urun: The zerg are swarming at our flanks. We have to react quickly or our perimeter defenses will fall!
Dark Voice: All shall be remade in my name! Behold my greatest creation!
Urun: I’m detecting a large amount of zerg activity in their hive-clusters! Prepare for an assault!

All that remains of our race, our civilization, are those that stand beside you now. Trust in each other. Strike as one will! Let our last stand burn a memory so bright, we will be remembered forever! En taro Tassadar!

Dark Voice: Foolish, prideful children … There was one among you who could have jeopardized my great plan … but in your recklessness – you mistook her for the true threat!

Conclusion
Dark Voice: As I was your beginning – so shall I be … your end.
(Note: The Hybrid shed away their corporeal forms transforming into pure void energy. Each hybrid becoming sort of a black hole consuming everything. The Zerg implodes. The whole world is consumed.)
Dark Voice: Your light is expended. It is finished.
Note: The stars. The entire universe is destroyed. Only utter darknesss remains. Only the Fallen One remains in the void.
