Combine Portal
Chapter 1: A Vortigaunt's Story
A certain Samurai Jack sat peacefully in a tent for which a Vortigaunt refugee had built. The vortigaunt had escaped the clutches of the notorious Combine, and Jack was interested especially in their technology of opening up portals, eve one possibly back to his own time period.
"I must warn you samurai" said the vortigaunt refugee, "my people have fled our homes due to the rise of the Combine, they have become great allies of your arch foe Aku who has allowed them to enter Earth to acquire more resources for their own agenda."
"They indeed used their technology to open up portals right?" asked Jack.
"Definitely" continued the vortigaunt refugee, "as for the rest of your kind, your human species as well as my own people are slaves to the Combine in that part of the planet."
"Where can I find them?" asked Jack.
"They are located at City 17" continued the vortigaunt refugee, "I dare not travel there ever again, it is too gruesome of a memory for me, what horrible thing to experience, never venture there."
"But I must find a way back to my home" continued Jack.
"Very well" sighed the vortigaunt refugee who felt his warnings went unheard as he then gave the samurai directions, "follow these directions, and they shall lead you to City 17, but be warn samurai, the Combine are not like your arch foe Aku."
As the samurai took the directions, about a few minutes later as he began to travel in the wastelands heading toward City 17, Aku who was in his lair noticed it.
"Bah, that samurai thinks he can find others to teleport him back to his own time" laughed Aku to which Aku then turned on the communicator that belonged to Wallace Breen who was the head of City 17, "Mr. Breen there is one pesky guest approaching City 17."
"If it is Gordon Freeman, we're mostly focusing on the possible location of him" continued Breen.
"Well, put Samurai Jack on your list" continued Aku, "so long as I am in charge of this planet, you shall obey my orders, if you want your resources."
"Fine, we'll put an alert out for this Samurai Jack" continued Breen.
"Good, good" laughed Aku to which he turned off the communicator to Breen, "let's see how far the samurai goes without even making it within the city limits."
As Samurai Jack continued his trek across the wasteland, he finally came toward the location of the notorious City 17, as he could see, there were city scanners that were hovering about the city, one city scanner popped right up surprising the samurai and took a photo of him. It was quite a bright light for the samurai, nearly blinding him, as he had to cover the light. The city scanner then hovered off, and the samurai moved on into City 17. First stop for the samurai was the main city hall, he could see how totalitarian the entire City 17 was indeed.
"I am afraid we're going to have to confiscate your weapon sir" said the metro police officer to the samurai.
"What for?" asked Jack.
"Just come with me" said the metro police officer.
Jack knew he wasn't under arrest, but felt strange to why if Aku had connections with the Combine, why wasn't he arrested yet? The metro police officer took Jack to a secluded location within the city hall, and typically enough revealed himself to be Barney Calhoun.
"Samurai Jack, you're famous amongst the rebels!" laughed Barney, "If you were seeking out Gordon Freeman, you just missed him only by a few minutes."
"There is resistance here?" asked Jack.
"Yeah, but we try to keep things on a low profile here" continued Barney, "I can give you the directions where Gordon Freeman went."
"Listen, I must find a way to get to the Combine's portals" continued Jack.
"What kind of reason would you want to do that for?" asked Barney.
"I need to find a way back to my own time" continued Jack.
"Really, hmm, well, I do know the Combine are smart enough to be at least able to do that" continued Barney, "why don't you meet up with Gordon Freeman and the others, they'll know what to do when we take the Citadel that has one of those portals"
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door, to which Barney puts back his metro police officer disguise.
"Open up, we want to interrogate the samurai" said the head metro police officer.
"Well, I better let you do your job here" laughed Barney as he then opened up the door.
"That's the samurai wanted by Aku!" shouted the head metro police officer.
"I was er, just leaving to let you guys handle it" said Barney as he then headed off.
As the metro police officers whom were still there drew their weapons on the samurai, Jack took out his sword and sliced their weapons in half, he then knocked each one of them out without any problems at all. Even Barney was quite impressed as he was leaving.
"Remember what I said about meeting up with Gordon, good luck" said Barney as he finally went off.
The samurai knew more of the metro police officers were on their way to take him down, so the samurai quickly headed to the storage area and began to climb up, and leaped out. But as the samurai thought he was going to be safe, city scanners started to swarm around the samurai, and take pictures to which the samurai had enough and began to draw his sword and slice the city scanners in half destroying each one that came his way.
