Hello thar people! Anyway here's Chapter 3 of my story, with Deep Shit supposed to be like sort of a pun, since he's in lots of danger, and the literal fact that he's in Deep Shit P. Also I'm going to answer a question asked in one of the many reviews (2, amazing rite?)

The Shadow Syndicate: " Are you going to include some of the older enemies such as Bullsquids or Houndeyes?"

I'm planning too, but I don't know when too right now, but you can probably suspect them in later chapters, also I plan to include one of the creatures cut out from HL1 but was in its beta: the Panthereye, but that won't be for awhile. But look forward to the next chapter, as one of most frightening and annoying creatures from Black Mesa will be the main focus of the next chapter. I'll give you a hint: The Challenger Deep ;)

Also in Chapter 5, expect the appearance of some others too. Anyway, onto the story


CHAPTER 3: Deep Shit

I started thinking white had been a bad color choice for this suit. It was definitely going to get stained. And smell very bad too.

In all seriousness I'd been wandering these sewers for 10 minutes stumbling along. I had a map of the sewers on my HUD telling me which way to go, but it was hard navigating in the dark. At least I hadn't encountered any enemi-

I saw something run past my flashlight in the T junction up ahead. I guess I spoke to soon. I then realized I had to go that same way. Damnit.

I wondered if there was night vision on this thing so I started flicking things around and eventually found it, and turned my flashlight off. I didn't get a good look at the thing but I'm guessing it was a Hunter. After some walking, I came into a larger area and saw a battle going on, and finally got a good look of the Hunters.

They had strangely shaped body, with two little eyes in the center, in which it seemed that they would shoot the same ammunition as an AR2, and hopefully not its' secondary fire. I could only recognize their features not their color, as everything was tinted green for me.

In the drop below I saw that Zombies were slowly approaching the Hunters and just carelessly being mowed down. The fight just seemed so unfair, and I was quite glad I was up here instead of down there with those things. Then the unsuspected happened, the course of the fight turned.

I saw large, extremely mutated Zombies emerge from the shadows, like the few I had seen in Black Mesa. Then I saw it, the master of all Zombies. It was the largest I had ever seen, and it looked horrifying, and very strong, as apparent by the big muscles along its arms. It was then I saw the Hunters backing away in what looked like fear while firing at it. Suddenly it rushed them with great speed. The Zombie picked on up with ease and crushed its head in and dropped it, then tore the legs off another, and soon enough all the Hunters were dead.

"Fuck." I cursed, how the hell was I going to kill that thing?

I then heard a loud noise behind me that sounded like a deranged cat, and I slowly turned around to it. I saw a Zombie behind me, but this one was thinner, and its flesh was more decayed then its heavier counter-parts. It had its hands up and was positioned in an odd fashion, then it put its hands onto to the ground and it seemed like it was going to push itself off the floor… That's when I realized what it was going to do.

I quickly ducked just as it soared over me and smashed into a wall, and slid down into the water below… Which was right where the gang of huge, mutated Zombies stood, along with their giant leader. I then realized they were looking up at me.

"Shit."

They started climbing the wall, making grip holds with their amazing strength, and climbing up with amazing agility. I then remembered what Rosenberg said right before I had jumped down into this hell hole.

"… Well anyway, be extremely careful with the secondary fire, it instantly kills living things, depending on size," Rosenberg said.

I quickly stuffed one of the balls into the bottom shaft of the AR2, and got prepared to shoot it. Just then, the zombies had lifted themselves up and were slowly strutting toward, as to tease me before my impending doom. Well they had another thing coming. I pressed down the secondary trigger of the AR2.

A sphere of energy came shooting out, glowing a light upon everything. As I ducked down to make sure I avoided it, it bounced around and hit the smaller, mutated zombies, and I watched with amazement as there bodies were slightly floating and burning to a crisp before it was completely destroyed. It was then I saw it going straight toward the lead one, I was ready to cheer in glee as it was about to get destroyed… And then it simply just exploded on the zombie, damaging it slightly. Then the last part of what Rosenberg said echoed in my mind.

"Depending on size."

I quickly stood up and started shooting the AR2 at it as it rushed toward me speedily. I was then hit with great force and right into the pipe behind me. I looked at my HUD; my health was at 77 and my suit's power at 15. Thank god for the electrically charged shields. I then started sliding down, and I realized this pipe was sloped downward, and was like a slide, I looked at my HUD map and realized there was paths branching off it, and I had to make sure I slid myself the right way, or else it might be a long time before I get out here.

I then slipped, belly down, and facing the entrance of this crazy slide, and saw the Zombie was coming down it as well, and it was pushing off the sides to go faster and catch me. Well then, time to get the hell out of here.

I managed to turn around to face the opposite way, and started pushing off the floor, gaining speed as the Zombie was right on my tail. Eventually, I was going extremely fast, and hoped that I would still be able to make the turn, and saw that it was coming right up. I started leaning left, and managed to make the turn, a managed a quick glance behind me to see the Zombie blaze past the pipe I had just gone through.

I then slid down onto a normal, non-curved floor and slowly got up. I would reach the exit soon and finally be out of this God forsaken sewer.

After an hour of fighting multiple zombies, including the poison variety that I had learned was a pain in the ass, and Hunters, were the color hunter green, and that their eyes glowed a light blue like the ones in my helmet eye ports, which I had learned while quickly using my flashlight,.

Right now, I had my night vision off, as I could see the light coming from exit ahead. I was extremely glad to finally to get out of this sewer, but just before I could escape, my worst nightmare happened.

I saw a silhouette of a Hunter land right in front of the exit, right in front of me, but this one was different from your average Hunter. Instead of two blue eyes, it had one large red one, with two little red ones, one on top of the big red eye, and the other on the bottom of it. As it came closer, I could make out more of its' features, and the most was that it was the same as a normal Hunter, except instead of hunter green, it was a tan-white color. Of course it was sort of pointless to think of this right now as it walked toward me menacingly.

I pulled the AR2 trigger and all I heard was clicks, which meant I was out of ammo, and I knew I didn't have anymore of those energy balls left, and my pistol wasn't going to do shit against this thing. This meant I was screwed. Of course, I wasn't going to go out without a fight, so I put away my AR2 and took out my wrench, and as it charged toward me to headbutt me, I swung my wrench and we struck each other at the same moment. As the force of the headbutt sent me flying back, I realized I had managed to damage its large center eye, as I could tell by the apparent cracks in it.

My crash was softened by something fleshy… I turned and realized it was the Zombie, the same extremely large and amazingly strong one from earlier. I was now in between the probably two most dangerous things in this sewer. Just great.

I then saw the Hunter was shaking and was looking at floor. It was making the same noise the AR2 made when it was about to shoot one of those energy balls… I knew what was coming.

I ducked down as the Hunter shot one of the balls out of its center eye, and it impacted on the Zombie. It let out a mighty roar and charged toward the Hunter. I then thought that while they were busy fighting, I had a chance to escape! I quickly made my way around the fighting Zombie and Hunter and ran out of the sewer and into the light and just as I made it out some rocks collapsed over the exit. I was finally free from that hellish sewer and nothing could follow me out thanks to those rocks collapsing over it. I felt like doing a victory dance, but I realize how stupid it would be.

I instead looked at where I was. I was on a small shore area overlooking a large lake, and I wondered what was going to come next, but I had a feeling it was going to be even worse then the sewers…

Well at least I could wash the shit off the suit.


LIKE THE SHITTNESS OF MY ONE LINER JOKES AT THE END OF CHAPTERS M I RITE GUYS? LOL. I kid.

Anyway, I feel the probably most poorly done part might of been the sewer slide part, I had the perfect image of it in my head, but thinking of words to describe it was hard. Anyway, look forward to the next exciting chapter, which I've yet to think of a name yet, but it will also show when Shepard is in the timeline of HL2.

Anyway, I'm off to play Sven Co-op, so start those reviews people.

EDIT: I forgot to talk about my new Hunter variant . Anyway as you can see its based of the Elite Combine Soldiers and such. Suspect Shepard to meet one again. P
