The Betrayal on Korhal was Infested Kerrigan striking her former allies, who had already proven their worth. The battle ended with a decisive zerg victory and both Dominion and Raynor's Raiders forces broken and shattered.

History

Kerrigan discussed her next steps with Samir Duran. With the UED's power broken on this world, only their forces on Char posed a threat to her. She believed that the time to eliminate her allies has come. She ordered an immediate attack. Duran replied that the protoss and terrans will be able to respond to an attack in "about six minutes", so Kerrigan ordered her minions to immediately strike against Mengsk and Fenix's forces. While they recovered, Kerrigan built up her forces and hurled them against her new enemies. As she destroyed their bases, Terran Dominion General Edmund Duke and Praetor Fenix made personal appearances on the battlefield. Duke told her she has a lot to answer for and Fenix admitted he was a fool to trust her.

Kerrigan's forces killed Duke; she said she wanted him dead for a long time, and she felt excited about it. Mengsk called her a murderer, and pointed out they had a deal. Kerrigan asked how he could expect her to keep her word when he practically fed her to the zerg, and he was "directly responsible for the hell I've been through!" Kerrigan said she would leave him among the ashes of his Dominion, letting him see her rise to power. He would remember that he turned her loose in the first place.

The death of Fenix roused Raynor to anger. Condemning Kerrigan for her ruthless pursuit of power, Raynor vowed to kill her in the future for all the innocents who had died as a result.

After defeating her former allies, Kerrigan ordered her cerebrate to return to Tarsonis to rest, as for the first time since her transfiguration she was weary of slaughter.^[1]
