The bar shook. Beer bottles fell over. The lights flickered.
"What's going on?" Shouted one of the drunkards.
"It's D-Day! Yahoo!"
"It's an earthquake you idiot! Stay low!" The bartender shouted. He crawled his way under one of the tables.
Everything shook, all the cups from the stand fell over, beer bottles spilled their contents onto the wooden floor.
Than suddenly as soon as it started, it was over.
"Woah, what was that man? Explosion?"
"It was an earthquake. Although we do not get earthquakes around here often." The bartender grabbed the stand and pulled himself up.
"Well I heard an explosion." Said one of the customers.
"Yeah me too." Said another.
"Me too."
"Same for me."
"All right, calm down. Nothing to worry. Besides nobody is hurt. Lets turn the radio on. Who wants a free beer?"
"So, you want me to read this?" The news reader exclaimed.
"Yes. You will read it once the music ends."
"But this is crap! You can't expect me to read this!"
"I insist you do Mr Kurrie." Came the cold voice
"It says on your script, that an earthquake just occurred 5 minutes ago. My sources tell me that it was an explosion, a nuclear explosion to be precise."
"You will read this whether you like it or not, or..."
"Or what eah?" He protested.
"You will be staring down the chamber of my gun."
"Haha! Your gun! Good one man." The news reader laughed. He turned round and spoke into the mike.
"All right people, your daily news is coming up! We have breaking news right here in the station, just stay tune for the latest rumours and facts!"
The news reader turned back, and a gun chamber was jabbed into his mouth.
"I insist. Mr Kurrie."
I laid on the floor. The rain poured onto the ground. I slowly opened my eye, I saw nothing but greenery all around me. For a moment, I though I was on Xen. Than I realised that Xen did not had rain.
Earth.....in all places...why must it be Earth...
My name is Iniss 121. An Alien Slave.
For the past years, I've been living in a lie. A lie that fooled me and many of my fellow slaves. We worked for 'Nihilanth' the Master. For at least 3 earth years, I've worked in the manufacturing facilities of Xen, monitoring equipment and initiating new commands. All those time I saw Nihilanth as my master, that I had to obey him, follow him, or even die for him to the very end.
That was went I was brought into reality. Now after I though of it, I realised I was brain-washed. Brain-washed into being mindless servants. At that time, Nihilanth initiated a plan to 'invade' a place called Earth. At first, I thought the 'invasion' was a great idea. We could meet new creatures, learn new ideas, new technology.
Than I was brought into the battle grounds. We were forced to kill the humans, whether they were armed or unarmed. I question my superior about the motives of our actions. I was told that the humans were mindless and barbaric, that they had to be exterminated. At first, I thought this was true, there were these 'green' and 'black' skinned human that shot at us. They killed many of our race. They fired upon us without compassion. Than there were these 'white' coats and 'blue' coats human. They were initially not hostile to us, infact some even tried to communicate with us. But my superior ordered us to fire upon them.
One particular scene stood out, I had cornered a white coat in one of the human laboratory. He was unarmed. I saw that he was 'crying'. An emotion of sadness and distress. I looked at him and saw the fear in his eyes. I could read his emotions, he was begging me to spare him. Deep in my heart I knew that this human did not deserve to die. He showed me a picture of he and other humans. Despite that, I killed him. After that incident, I found out that the picture he had was a picture of his family. I was horrified, I had killed humans that were unarmed, innocent and that had families they loved and cared for.
From than on, I objected from killing the humans. I had heated arguments with my superiors about our actions. But my superior won. Often threatening me with death.
I was transferred to another squad. My new superior was much better. I negotiated with him in transferring me out of my job in the invasion force. He did and got me into guard duty for Nihilanth's portal. At least I did not had to kill humans.
Somehow, my superior, Colath 44, was an curious one. He used his teleportation ability to learn more about Xen. Than he learnt something that made him go against all he was taught.
We, Xenlings, were not born. We were created.
He decided to reveal what he had learnt to me. I was in turmoil. We both came to a conclusion, Nihilanth was evil and had to be stopped.
We made plans to start a revolution. But Nihilanth happened to interrupt on my thoughts, and I was captured. Colath had to hide to evade capture. I was held in Nihilanth's prison.
During all this time, the white coat, blue coat and the rarely seen orange suit humans came up with a plan to repel the invasion back. They'd sent one of their most powerful orange suit onto Xen and struck deep into the heart of Xen. Nihilanth.
The human by luck found a weakness in Nihilanth. The orange suit destroyed all the Xenite crystal in Nihilanth chamber and finally destroyed the crystal inside Nihilanth's brain.
After that, it was all chaos. Nihilanth powers were interlinked with Xen. With Nihilanth dead, so was Xen. All of the teleportation portals were failing. Colath managed to summon one portal to where I was being held. Destination : Earth.
I had no choice but to teleport back to Earth. I found myself back in 'Black Mesa'. However, there was not a single human or Xenling to be found. The human facility seemed abandon. There were bodies everywhere not a single living human or Xenling.
Than I stumbled upon a giant missile like device. It showed a countdown. By instinct I ran, I ran as fast at my legs could bring me, than suddenly, a teleportal enveloped in front of me. Seeing my chance, I ran into the portal.
Here am I teleported onto somewhere on Earth. Lost on this foreign planet, I could be the last of my race here. The last Xenling on Earth.
This is my story. The story of the 'Alien Slave'.
Author's note: Alien Slave is back! I've finally managed to find sometime to start on my sequel. I'm trying to stick my story plot as close to the original. So I would not write too much (as in to the timeline of HL2) until I know what the actual HL2 story plot is.
