Xonxt retreated to another tunnel, after a brief moment of mourning for his dead allies. On the other side, he spotted the scientist he was shot by only moments earlier. Charging another attack, determination and rage guiding him, he unleashed another bolt. It connected with the scientist's helmet, vaporizing it, revealing a fairly young man, with matte-black hair & sideburns. The shock to his nervous system caused him to depress the trigger on his MP5, and 50 rounds of 9mm ammo flying towards Xonxt. He dove to the left as the lead harmlessly zipped past him & thunked into the wall behind him. Before the noise of the gunshots dissipated, the scientist fell to the ground, dead. Something exploded behind Xonxt, and one of the 2 remaining scientists screamed. Xonxt turned, and saw a vehicle moving to his left. Xonxt took it to be of human design, and started charging another electric bolt. As he shoved his hands forward, humans clad in green armor attacked, firing their MP5's & shotguns, and lobbing grenades. One landed next to Xonxt, who only needed a millisecond to assess that the device was a highly dangerous threat, and dove for cover. The grenade went off just as Xonxt hit the ground, shrapnel flew everywhere, and heat washed over the vortigaunt. Xonxt got up, again attempted to charge, and fired at the one soldier out of cover. The beam struck him in the neck, blood initially flash-boiled, but more poured out. He dropped to the ground, and his comrades took offense to the fact that this... thing, was slaughtering them.
They opened fire, spraying whatever available ammo they had at the creature, but in their rage, they missed every shot. One of the soldiers, a cigar hanging out of his mouth, aimed his weapon upwards, and another grenade careened towards Xonxt. He couldn't dive out of the way this time, and ended up running for his life. He was safely in the tunnel when the explosive went off. Bright light filled the tunnel for a brief second, and the smell of burnt rock permeated Xonxt's "nostrils"(if you could call them that). He crept out, looked for the soldiers, but they weren't there. Instead, Xen Masters & Alien Grunts roamed, some of the Grunts eating the corpses, tearing chunks of flesh from bone with their third arm, a feature commonly seen in Xen Masters, Vortigaunts, the Nihilanth, Grunts, and more recently, Gargantuas. Xonxt saw a green flash, heard the crackling/exploding sound associated with a teleportation event, and saw a fellow Vortigaunt appear next to him. He placed his right arm near the floor, "palm" down, and raised it slowly, a sign of greeting among Vortigaunts. His companion did the same, and then raised his right arm, and brought it down & left. Suddenly, a bridge extended between the section they were standing on, and the section adjacent to it. Xonxt and his companion headed across the chasm. They split up, Xonxt going right, the other Vort going left. He exited the tunnel, only to see the surviving scientist, holding the XTBU, enter a portal. Xonxt followed, greenish-orange light enveloping him, as the tide of battle turned...
In Xen's favor.
Authors Notes:
I haven't played POV, so parts of this might be altered slightly from the actual mod. Sorry to those of you who played it and are ticked off at me for doing this. But, the awesome Garg/Tank scene will be in chapter 3! It WILL!! Review and tell me what you think so far. All criticism welcome! :)
