Chapter 2: Arrival
"Ehh? Are you really sure that you want these? They seem pretty normal to me..." That blue haired bit- "Goddess" asked me once again after I presented my wants, she muttered something else but I wasn't listening to her. I simply nodded, not wanting to waste my breath on a failure of life itself. Tuning myself out after it started rambling about how humans are pitiful, I began to think about what happened in such a short amount of time. Firstly, Black Mesa, that... That was the reason everything fell apart, why I was here... Why so many people died. Hadn't that damn Suit meddled in Earth's affairs, so many things wouldn't have gone wrong. Secondly, the Suit's so-called "client" that was interested in me. I first thought it was the "Goddess" standing infront of me, but she probably couldn't get water out of a boot if the instructions were on the bottom. Lastly, I was thinking abou- Oh, I'm floating and there's a bright light above me. Now I'm disintegrating and that blue thing is looking at me all smug-like. She did something, didn't she?
"Good luck~" That bitch said so innocently before my vision was filled with white light.

Axel, 1300 Hours
I was staring at a bridge. Like a cobblestone bridge. I observed my surrounding and found buildings you would see in the Medieval Ages. For starters, this world is doomed. How the FUCK are they supposed to defeat a damned demon army with technology as ancient as that protein bar he left back at Black Mesa when the Resonance Cascade started? Speaking of protein bars, I need nutrients to keep going. It's been... Hours? Days? Since I last ate. Alright, first order of business is to find a restaurant! Or is it called inn? I keep forgetting my history research I did back then.
Taking my first step, I felt weighed down by something as I heard metal slam against the cobblestone beneath me. I checked myself and- Ah, the Mark V Hazardous Environment Suit or HEV for short. One of the five things I wanted with me, the other four were probably in that big leather bag a few steps away from me. I briskly made my way to it and inspected its contents. A solar powered battery with a charging cable for the HEV Suit, and of course, my crowbar that I had with me from the very beginning of my adventure. Damn, so many memories with this crowbar, or Crow, as I named it back at Black Mesa. Anyways, I looked inside the bag again to find... Nothing, nothing except a piece of paper at the bottom. Taking it out and opening it, the paper read, "Sorry Mr. Freeman, but you took lots of time to choose. So, I've decided to remove some things from the list LOLOLOL. xoxo -Aqua"

Words can't describe how sorry I am to keep you guys waiting. I honestly thought nobody would want to read this trashy fanfiction lol. That and I kind of lost interest in writing since there was a lot of school work to do. I'm in my final year now and I'll probably stop writing for a while during June-October since those are the finals. Anyways, here's a short chapter to start the ball rolling. I should upload after this week and if not, sue me. I'll start writing longer and longer chapters but I need some time to proofread these things, you know? See you guys(hopefully) next week.
