Freeman's Odyssey
Chapter: 28
Freeman's Heroes:Part.3
Stalag 13, Germany
Gordon Freeman has just walked into the POW prison camp in which his action has just startled everyone, he fixed his glasses and his eyes narrowed. This place looks so familiar, he sees a large man looking over a bald man as both of them are wearing German uniforms, and the other two are wearing German uniforms as one is wearing the symbol of the Gestapo. He sees Combine over watch protecting a Combine overseer that made the one-Free-Man's blood boil. As the overseer three a man aside as his POW friends helped him up.
Damn thought Gordon no wonders this place is so familiar, I'm in the Hogan's heroes TV series
"Who is this man?" said Hochstetter "What is this man doing here?!"
"Gordon Freeman," shouted the overseer "Kill him."
The combine over watch opened fire on Gordon Freeman as their weapons bounced off of his shields; they are joined by the German guards of Stalag 13 in attacking Gordon. While the POW's lead by Hogan who recovered from almost being killed are looking on at awe. Gordon quickly used the cover to bring forth his own weapons, two combine pulse rifles by way of his suits weapons replication system and fired right back at the combined Overwatch and German guards.
Having being left out of the action Coronal Hogan motioned for his men to strike by surprising the German guards by taking their weapons and firing as well. The German and Overwatch guards are boxed in until they were torn to pieces. Gordon took down the guards on the guard towers as well, even the ones patrolling also. The overseer made a break for it by getting into the combine flyer and the vehicle quickly lifted off in the air. However Gordon wasn't going to have any escapes.
Gordon takes out his gravity gun and replicated from his suits system from what it looks like a ruby ball, however it is not as he attached the ball like object to the gravity gun. This object is called the Magnusson Device and using very precise aim he fired the device right at the combine flyer as it attached itself to the flyer. Then exploding in midair destroying both the craft and overseer as everything was raining down in the sky in pieces, even a few overseer guts.
"Sounds like my last forth of July date," said Hogan "Can you please explain what just happened."
"If you would asked," said Gordon "You would never know Coronal Hogan,"
"How do you know my name?" asked Hogan
"Your flight jacket," pointed out Gordon "It does show your name."
"Oh right," said Hogan as he had forgotten about that "These men are,"
"Baker, Carter, Newkirk, Lebeau," said Gordon "Kinchloe must be at the radio right now."
Then Kinchole came running out the barracks as he is surprised that he sees a lot of dead all around the POW camp, even the general and major were killed by gunfire. Shultz is alive as he is looking down at his former dead Commandant, sadly and looked back at all of them in wondering what just happened.
"Coronal," said Kinchloe "We just got word from Mama Bear that more B17's will be bombing the factory again but with more powerful bombs this time. They will be there within an hour"
"I would say there is a force filed protecting that POW camp turned factory," said Gordon
"Let me guess once this force field is down the bombs would destroy the base," said Hogan "Gee, I don't even have milk and cookies for Santa Clause."
"Well if you are looking for something to do," said Gordon "How about taking down those force fields,"
"Meh," said Hogan "Why not, we only live once anyway….right guys,"
The others nodded.
"Shultz care to join," asked Hogan
I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing," said Shultz "My commandant is dead, and all the guards are dead except for me. I will not go."
"That is fair," said Hogan "What will you tell your superiors? When they find out about this?"
"I will tell them," said Shultz "That the allies did this and they allowed me to live to spread the word. After that I will tell them nothing else…..please just go, heavy weapons are in the depot."
"You're a good man Shultz," said Hogan "Ok do you have a plan,"
"Full scale assault," said Gordon
"Works for me," said Hogan, then turned to the rest of his men along with POW's "All right let's get those weapons and help out Gordon Freeman take down that factory."
"Just like a regular Hogan's heroes," smiled Gordon "Perhaps one day that would be a television show detailing your exploits."
"Yeah right," chuckled Hogan. "And next thing you know it I will be kissing Roosevelt."
All of them nodded as it weren't very long before Hogan, his men, the POWS of the former prison camp joined Gordon Freeman on the raid to take down the factory that once was Stalag 5 as they took off in whatever transportation they could find. It does not take them long to reach the outskirts of the factory, it was decided to go into separate groups and to attack it in all directions in a way to confuse their forces as they can see Combine overwatch are patrolling a bit.
The attack had come as it is messy and nasty, in which Gordon mentioned the strange generators outside the factory are the shield generators that bring up the shield. Taking a hint all of them went on the attack like a regular World War two battle. Gordon is no stranger to battles himself in battling the combine. One by one the shield generators were taken down, but it wasn't easy as there were injuries and casualties. Newkirk got shot in the shoulder.
Carter was killed by a shot to the chest as he tried to avoid dozens of shots; Baker and Kinchloe were the lucky ones, Lebeau got the wind knocked out of him as a stray explosion threw him hard to the ground but managed to get up with a slight limp. The shield is now down as Hogan looked into the factory window and sees about 500 of those armored people inside along with a strange device being built.
"What is that," asked Hogan
"A portal device is being built," said Gordon "Those men were the 500 POWS but they are not human anymore,"
"Oh my god," said Hogan "Is there anything we can do the save them."
"No," shook the head of Gordon "They're not the people they used to be, if you want to give them something. Give them their dignity back and die as free men,"
"Coronal," said Kinchloe "We have to get out of here the B17's are coming."
Hogan signaled for everyone to leave the target area as the shield is now down and the factory is exposed. Six B17's are flying towards the target area and once they reach the target area. All six of them dropped all of their bombs with maximum yield that would destroy a small city. A loud explosion is heard as the bombs slammed into the POW camp turned factory as it has destroyed the facility in a massive fireball that reaches the ski. Once the dust and debris had cleared the only thing left as a large crater in the middle of the forest.
"Well that was a lot of fun," said Gordon
"We lost a lot of good men," said Hogan "But thanks for helping."
"It was the least I could do," said Gordon "It's time to part ways, I believe you still have a war to fight."
"Really," said Hogan "I thought I was going to watch some Betty Boop cartoons."
Gordon chuckled as he simply walked away down the road, with no more Combine influence he decided to leave anyway as Hogan and his men watch him walking away as Hogan pondered what to do next.
Freeman's log
Well once again another plot by the combine foiled by me and this time by some allies, a regular Hogan's heroes he goes on to explain more and more about it until he ended the log.
End log.
Gordon activated his suits portal and walked into the portal with him along with the portal simply vanishing without a trace as Hogan and along with his men just look on with awe as they see him simply vanishes into thin air. Then they left to go what they are going to do.
Meanwhile back at the former POW camp of Stalag 13 Shultz shook his head as he pondered how to explain this one without being shot or sent to the Russian front. The G-man appeared before him and smiled as it would seem this brainless man is the only survivor.
"Greetings Missster Ssshultz," said G-man "There is no cause for alarm; it seems you have potential to be greater than the Nazis or even Hitler himself."
"What do you want," said Shultz "I know nothing."
"I would disagree with that notion Mr. Shultz," said G-man "You do know your family has fled Germany for South America for the time being and you neglected to tell your superiors. Please spare me, the I know nothing mellow drama"
"I did it to protect them," said Shultz
"Then go," said G-man "Germany will fall as I have seen its future, Coronal Hogan will arraign transport to get there before your superiors are told of your betrayal and have you shot."
"What about Klink," asked Shultz
"He is dead," said G-man "Unimportant in matters that do not concern you….now go."
Wordlessly Shultz leaves and the G-man disappears with a smile.
