Half-Life: Opposing force Charlie Team

(I do not own Half-life or any of its expansion packs)

He slowly opened the vent cover and got out.

The room was pitch black so Shepard turned on his standard issue night vision goggles built into his mask.

He studied the room : an old office bombarded with rubble and debris from recent airstrikes, a door to the left that leads out into a steel corridor.

On Shepards right were different sort of posters of expirements on the wall and also the remains of what looks like a work desk and book case pinned behind the shards from the toppled ceiling.

He slowly made his way to the door clutching his Desert Eagle with both hands and as soon as he put his right hand to turn the knob of the door, a green flash blinded him and a sound of thunder echoed behind him.

He quickly raised his Deagle and spun at a 180 degree angle when he spottet a gigantic monster towering over him.

It must have been 7 or 8 foot and had a third arm coming out of its stomache, it was also wearing what looked like steel shoulder pads and helmet.

Shepard cursed to himself and shot one bullet at the creature and hit him striaght in the chest, the creature screamed in agony and it swung its right arm towards Shepard but he ducked and tumbled by it and got up into a crouching stance and fired two more bullets at it and one bullet hit it in the leg and the other one hit the shoulder pad, bounced off it and hit Shepard straight in the gut.

It instantly winded him and knocked him on his ass even though the P.C.V took the brunt of the damage.

He tried to stand upbut the creature picked him up and threw Shepard straight through the office wall and crashing down to the steel corridor on his back.

He coughed up blood and checked his hud and saw his health was at 43% and P.C.V at 67%.

He knew he needed medical attention but the monster stepped through the debris and Shepard desperatly reached for his sidearm but realised he dropped grabbed his combat knife and swung franticly at the monster , Shepard knew this thing had got the better of him so he turned and staggered down the corridor hoping to flee the monster just as he reached the bottom, the monster lifted up its right arm and there was some sort of alien on it which started spitting out 10 - 20 insects aimed for Shepard.

Shepard turned to run but it was too late the insects collided with his P.C.V and ripped straight through his armor and pierced his chest.

Shepard shook his P.C.V then instantly took it off and threw his once trusty armor off and threw it to the floor.

He then shook his camo shirt and tons of insects fell out to the ground.

Shepard thought to him self: "Shit ! i hope there not poisonous" as he dropped against the wall behind him.

He took a deep breath feeling very tired and reached for his trusty wrench which he found back at the safe part of Black-Mesa.

Shepard sniggered at that thought: "safe"

He started to feel dizzy but that wasnt going to stop the HECU Corporal so he ran towards the beast and let out a war cry.

The moster looked like he was laughing at Shepard and again lifted its right arm to shoot more of those insects but Shepard ran quicker the dived for the monster with the wrench clutched in his right arm.

He swung the wrench with all his strength and it collided with the monsters right cheek and the monster let out a howl and while its head was spinning to a 180 degree angle it spat out yellow blood all over the wall and the monster finally crashed down to the floor with a loud thud.

Shepard smiled satisifed with his kill and tried to get up but fell straight down on his back.

He coughed up blood all over himself and he felt like shit.

Before he knew it everything faded to black and he thought to himself

"Maybe those insects were poisonous after all"... Then darkness consumed him.
