The Combine Elites all stared at her with their single red eyes, and they aimed their guns as they crumpled under Omega's fire. Five larger versions of V-ITO appeared, firing their guns. Thy had light machine guns in their upper two arms, Mini-guns in their middle two and an assault rifle and machete in the bottom two arms. Their were two Magnetic Mines on their back, C4, Ammo packs, dual pistols, and two RPG's. They were followed by three skeletal brown robots with gold pyramid shaped heads. Black panels on his body opened off his body, and several plugs appeared as they entered the control room and plugged into the defence system, and several wall panels opened up, revealing Turrets that aimed down the hallway at he retreating combine and began gunning them down. Then they appeared and radioed GLaDOS. The last person to follow them was an African American woman wearing black leather with green highlights. She looked at the retreating Elites, and drew a sawn-off shotgun and races after them. Chell realised it must be the Omega version of HAL.

GLaDOS voice boomed out from a radio. "Excellent! The Combine are retreating! Follow them and secure the farms and villages within 10 miles! Aperture is on a Warpath now!"

A large grey and silver swarm flew past. "Omega, support the Nanobots so we can build the Solar Panels to power the newborn Aperture Army. Warlord, capture the Civil Protection Outpost with the Local Resistance Group. Blue a. nd Orange will guide you. They have already met Isaac Kleiner, who will give them permission to stage a Rebellion Uprising in that area."

"What?" Chell asked. "What's going to happen to the people who live in the area?"

"They'll be sent to work at one of the Potato Farms, Oil Rigs, Solar Panels, Generators and Mines!" We're going to use the land to generate energy, mine minerals to make more of us, and cheap food for the slaves... I mean Locals."

"Viva Freedom." Chell muttered.

"Let's go take the Outpost, then."

The outpost was a three story, grey concrete building on the edge of the village. There was a Metrocop walking around outside, and he saw unmasked men in the building, smoking and playing cards.

"They're unmasked inside." HAL said. "Gas-mask on, Chell."

Chell and HAL pulled on their gas-masks, as gas could disable HAL's body. Then the pods walked out. They were several dozen black cylinders with spider legs that worked out and exploded, releasing a mist of toxic green gas. An Atlas Warlord fired and killed the Metrocop outside. Then they ran into the building and immediatitly, the P-Body Warlords went upstairs to kill the Civil Protection Chief, the Atlas Warlord finished off the dying Metrocops and Chell planted C4 on the building's support beams. They walked outside of the building and towards the street. A Resistance Member was firing a submachine gun in the air, and yelling through his gas-mask: "Stay inside! You have been liberated!"

A large man covered with armour and wearing a thick, strange gas-mask appeared. The Resistance Member stated at him, and let out a long burst of machine gun fire, hitting the man in the chest. He stood still, so Warlord Squad turned and opened fire. The Man fell to one knee and they held fire, and the man stood back up and took out a Mini-gun and fired, hitting three of the Androids and five of the Resistance Members. Warlord rolled out several grenades, but the man took little effect. Two RPG's were fired as he cut down another three Rebels, and he fell to he floor. Warlord continued firing at him for over a minute, before Chell checked him. He was defiantly some new type of Combine, a new super synth. One of Chell's original squad went over to her, and kicked the body.

"What the hell is this thing? Another thing to shoot? It took several squads, grenades and RPG's to kill it!"

The syth wore black armour with six red eyes like a spider, and a huge heavy mini-gun in his hands. Chell fired at his face, but the mask wasn't even dented.

"We have to repor this to Kleiner, or the Aperture Supercomputer, or something. We need to find out what this thing is." He said.

"Not GLaDOS. Never GLaDOS. But Kleiner needs to know about this."
