I needed to mk a new thread because I really need feedback an no one is answering. So please say something. I will continue this story in the next few months - last part on the day Hl2 is gold.
And Mod's could you mk it a Sticky so while no Fan Fiction Forum is up people can still can write some.

PART 1 – «EVERYONE FOLLOW ME»
The destruction of Dr.Kleiner's lab had alarmed our base leader and he ordered my platoon to go to it and find survivors. He knew I would give my best to find any. After all Alyx was there. We were sent in by two old OSPREY planes. They drop us as near as they could without alerting The Combine.
But when we reached the area I saw there was no hope. Striders had attacked that place. And when Striders attack they don't leave anything. They had turned the warehouse into dust.
- Set up a perimeter. Gonzales, Popov go to that building and set up an observation post. And I need 3 volunteers for a search team.
6 men immediately stepped forward.
- OK! Mendonza, Li and Boris you’re up. Scout ahead for survivors.
Everybody else dig some foxholes! And make’m deep we got reports of armoreds in this sector!
- Yes, Sir!
- Sgt. Maclane, come over here! I need to see you!
He immediately comes to me.
- What’s happening Jack?
- There aren’t any bodies. No one died.
- What do you mean?
- I think they knew they would be attacked, and they were ready to get away.
- Then why would they hold here? It doesn’t makes any sense. Kleiner’s lab wasn’t that important!
- Maybe not to us. But they had to have something in here worth the stay. Remember that rumour that spread over the troops after we retook Sector 5 back that it was Kleiner’s work?! That it was all Kleiner’s work? That he had developed a weapon against them?! You were there with me. They were wiped out before we got there. We assumed that the Xen had done it to them but if this rumour is true? He could be making this weapon in mass quantities to exterminate them for good when they attacked.
- I don’t know Jack! I’ve been fighting these guys for 20 years now, and I don’t remember anyone making an effective weapon against them. But it would explain why they attacked this unimportant area instead of…
- SCANNER! – Popov screamed.
- Everybody in the foxholes! We’ll hold this as long as we can! No man is left behind!
I went to see Popov.
- What did you see?
- A scanner spotted us Sir! I took it out but you know how they are.
Yes indeed I knew. You took out a scanner and they would send an army to check it out.
I went into a foxhole with Lockheart and Goose.
And they came.
- INCOMING!
They were too many. At least a hundred infantry, 2 armoreds and air support from at least half-dozen gunships. We were less than 40 men without heavy weaponry.
- RETREAT! RETREAT! EVERYBODY TO THE SEWERS! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! – I hoped some would survive pass the hell.
I got out of my foxhole and ran to the hole made by the tank’s heavy rounds. I jumped inside in the hole hoping to survive. Only 5 men managed to come inside.
- Are you all?
- We’re all that made the run Sir! All the others died on the run or the armoreds blew their foxholes with them.
One more jumped inside. It was Mendonza. He was a shot on the leg and landed pretty bad.
- Mendonza! Are you OK?
- Yes, Sir.
- Where’s Popov?
- He didn’t make it. The UFO’s* took him down on the run.
- Do you think you can walk?
- Yes, Sir. No problem.
- Let’s move out people. We need to get out of here before the Combine start dropping in.
Everyone followed me. I thought it was strange that the Combine weren’t following us. I would soon find out why.

PART 2 – THE DEADLY LIGHT
We were in those sewers for over 2 hours. We were having a hard time finding openings upwards.
- Sir, why do you think the Combine didn’t even tried to hunt us down?
- I don’t know Mendonza, I really don’t know.
- I’ve heard there’s a beast down here, that ma…
- Shut up Lockheart! Everybody has to keep quiet.
We heard a scream from Jackson. I had sent him throw an alternate way as a scout for ways out.
- What was that?!?
- Jackson? Are you OK? JACKSON? DAM IT ASNWER ME! Caparzo come with me. Rest of you keep moving!
Me and Caparzo went throw a few corridors until we found it. Jackson was there. At least pieces of him.
- Holy shit! What the **** happened here!?!
- Watch it! Whoever… whatever did this can still be around here! We better regroup.
When I looked down the shaft there was some sort of light down there.
We turned our backs to it and started heading back to the squad. We shouldn’t hv done that. Caparzo’s screams had awakened it. And Jackson had been just an little snack.
- Sir, if the Combine didn’t came down what a hell did that? The Xen would hv eaten him and … well it looked lk he was ripped apart but… not eaten.
- Yeah it’s weird isn’t? But we should all be used to weirdness since The Combine invaded, don’t you think?
- You’re right Sir we sho…
A transparent blue, gigantic squid-arm had stretched all the way throw the corridor, going so fast that it went trough Caparzo’s chest, pulling him quickly to the bottom of the shaft hitting me with his leg, taking me down. I got up waiting for it to get me.
In the moment 4 more come up shaft looking for me I knew what I was seeing.
The Hydra.
There were rumours about it but we had no idea what it was. We were sure about one thing - it was growing in the sewers, consuming both Combine and Men, turning the previously dark, secret passages of the sewers into hunting grounds. The Xens, however never came down. Perhaps they knew what lured in the dark.
When it came to me however, I knew what to do. I got my OICW, got it on greande launcher mode and aimed to the ceiling between me and it.
It worked. The ceiling collapsed between us in a way that it couldn’t pass.
I regrouped.
- Sir, where’s Caparzo and Jackson? What happened?
- The Hydra is real. It got them.
I had installed fear in my men. It was my 1st mistake.
- No problem I sealed it off. It can never get here. – No one believed me. My mistake wasn’t fixable. – We need to continue going this way. Maybe we can find a way out.
- But this way is to inside enemy lines! We can’t go there!
- We have to! – this was my 2nd mistake.
We were now reduced to 3 men. And we were going straight into the lion’s den.
