A fanfic about how the Combine might be defeated.
Prologue
Borealis, Coast of Antarctica
The cargo hold of the Borealis held many things. It was strange that there were no Combine guarding it.
"The core is around here in the lower part of the hold." GLaDOS said over Alyx's radio. Gordon, Alyx and the others had maintained contact with GLaDOS since they found out about her and how to contact her. It turned out she knew everything about the Combine and supported the Rebels. "Remind us what this thing looks like again." Barney said.
"It is a great spherical mass of unnamed alien matter from a distant planet classified as Xen that conducts a strange electrical charge and will attract many different electrical pulses causing a fusion between th-" "Just tell us what it looks like in English please!" Barney yelled at the extremely smart AI.
"Alright. Blah, blah, blah-In laymans terms: Big shiny ball that you make go boom." GLaDOS said clearly offended. Soon they saw a door with lots of blue light coming from it. They opened it and found the core, guarded completely by Combine and Advisors. A soldier spotted them and sounded an alarm. The Advisors came at them but Gordon dodged one and killed the Combine soldiers. Alyx slid under the Advisor just as it was about to grab her and Barney and threw the Magnusson Device MK II on the core. Dr. Magnusson made the MK II especially for destroying the core.
"Now get to the Aperture Science Matter Teleportation Mechanisim quickly!" GLaDOS said over the radio. The group was teleported back out of the Borealis where a chopper was waiting for them with the recently rescued Dr. Mossman in the back being healed by Vortigaunts. Once they were in the air they saw two Striders take aim. "Gordon get in the turret!" Barney yelled. Gordon took aim with the chopper's turret and shot the Striders. The team was now in the air. "Yeah! That was too easy!" Gordon said.
They were contacted by Dr. Kleiner once they had left the ground. "Good work! Now we can destroy the core!" he said over the static noise on their radio. "I think we should let Gordon blow this one up." Barney said. Gordon pressed the Detonation button and watched the gigantic ship vanish in a great blue explosion, sharapnel flying everywhere. They had done a good thing today and all of them knew it.
They began their trip back to White Forest. Then Gordon heard a voice. An old, raspy voice. "Well done Mr. Freeman." the very shaky voice said. Gordon didn't have to think twice about who that was. Black case. Blue suit. Excellently straightened tie. It was the G-Man. "I would like to congratulate you on this victory, but more is to come. Like I said to your 'now departed friend': Prepare for unforeseen consequences. Goodbye for now Dr. Freeman." Gordon nearly fainted.
