AN: Some reviews would be nice, since only I have three already.
Gordon Freeman had arrived only a few hours ago as he found himself leaving a desert. His mark eight hazmat suit protects him against such elements like the hot burning sun. Coming to a grassy plain he has found no signs of civilization so far. Although he has found some objects lying around that suggest there is a civilization some where but these objects are just common objects to indicate some sort of war happened, maybe fighting. He did need more information.
He found himself wandering in a large forest, which is deep and dark. He found a path that has been regularly used and very muddy to say the least. Numerous of echoes and sounds are heard in the background, then he stopped and turned to his right as he spotted a girl in blue clothing running around, but she disappeared. To his left he spotted a bald kid with an arrow and air surrounding him with some sort of furry creature, and then he disappeared.
Gordon shrugged his shoulders and kept on moving putting it off as an illusion of some sort. It did looked like this jungle forest is playing tricks on him and then he spotted a girl with a white dress, along with a flying pig, another one was a kid dressed in blue. Both of them disappeared. Odd, what this could be. But he'll ask someone about this place later and kept on moving by way of the path. He also spotted strange animals that a crossbreeds between two species.
Is that even possible? Gordon didn't know, at least not yet. He has seen stranger things before and so coming to this dimension there must be something new. His suit picked up no Combine activity, but that does not meal he'll learn to understand this place. What seemed like hours and hours of traveling in the jungle forest there is a light at the end of the path. Stepping out he found a dirt road that seems to be regularly traveled.
He wasn't in a hurry and kept on moving he found object littered all around that still looked ancient and old. None of them posed his interest as he can see a town of some sort up ahead. He walks at a normal pace until finally sees this town but it looks abandoned and completely trashed due to age. Perhaps he can find some useful information, so going into town he began his search for anything, a newspaper, a book, something.
Rummaging though the debris he found nothing as if everyone just packed up and left or just left in a hurry with everything else in tow. He heard what sounded like a dog whimpering and turned to see a fox looking at him curiously for a moment, then running off in the opposite direction. Gordon noticed how intelligent the fox is, but it would seem the animal is in a hurry some where. Strange creature thought Gordon I wonder what else I will find having found nothing around he kept on walking.
It seemed like afternoon at the time of these lands as he kept on traveling for awhile until he sees up again a teenager riding dressed in average clothing, a straw hat and has a very distinguished scar upon the right side of his face. The teenager took a glance at Gordon for a moment and in turn Gordon does the same before moving past each other without even a word. But a single thought came in mind to the both of them who is this guy
Perhaps Gordon will see him again someday or perhaps not, but he paid no mind to it and kept on wandering for a bit as he is near some kind of stream. A crystal and clear blue stream of water with fish, he hasn't seen something like this in a good long time and so he drinks some of the crystal blue water. It tasted great and so he kept on walking again until he came upon a camp as a bearded old man is cooking his meal.
"Hello there," said the old man "Care to have something to eat,"
"No thanks," said Gordon "I'm fine,"
"You look like you are not from around here," said the old man
"I'm a traveler," said Gordon
"Oh so am I," said the old man "With my nephew, he's out somewhere at the moment."
"I did cross paths with a teenager with a scar upon his face," said Gordon "He looked like he has a lot on his mind,"
"Interesting," said the old man "Did he say anything to you,"
"No," said Gordon
"For a traveler," said the old man "You sure haven't have anything with you to travel with, guess you like to keep it light,"
"Well I guess, I know where all the fat went," said Gordon
The old man laughed "It's so true,"
"Well nice talking to you," said Gordon
The old man nodded as both of them waved at each other, and then Gordon kept on walking in wondering who he is. But he'll ask later and so pressing on night began to fall, Gordon wasn't sleepy and so he kept on walking at night. In which he couldn't see very much so he used his suit to illuminate the area around him and then spotted a large panda bear moving in the forest. Since when panda bears are that large, strange dimension he has come to.
Gordon has been walking for a few hours as he came upon a camp fire with people, a group of carefree traveling bards singing songs and looking like they are high on something. Could this dimension have hippie people, they seemed to look like it and not seem very smart as he walked past them ignoring what they had to say as it was utter nonsense that made no sense at all. A word Omashu Gordon did wondered what that word means.
He will find out later as he kept on moving for awhile as he found a few villages in his travels, he asked questions but they seemed too scared to answer or he was ignored due to the fact he is a stranger. So he continued onward for a good long while as it is night time outside, he sees up ahead an entourage of some sort with five men in red armor carrying some sort of teenage girl in a carriage of some sort followed by another teenage girl dressed in pink.
Gordon watched them walk past and so he kept on moving himself, the word Omashu came up in whispers by one of them. Along with a kidnapping of a child Hmmm! Could there be of some important regarding this Omashu? He decided to go investigate. After looking for a good long while he used his binoculars to see a city with a strange red symbol like those red armored men are wearing that could signify something dangerous.
He heard voices nearby as the morning sun is coming up and sees a large group of people dressed in green, along with some sort of bison creature, a girl dressed in blue holding a baby, a teenager holding a boomerang of some sort and a teenager with an arrow on his bald head and another creature that is flying around. Until this flying creature got curious and landed on the shoulder of Gordon staring at him, he smiled and pets the creature. Another creature a hawk had just flown away in the distance.
"Did you kidnap the baby," said Gordon
"What? No, we didn't," said the teenage boy with the arrow
"He came here on his own," said the teenager dressed in blue
"Babies are just curious," said the teenage girl dressed in blue
"Heh, of course," said Gordon "Did I just overhear you say it's going to be a good day, don't mine me being condescending but you sound a little naive with that comment you made."
"What does condescending mean and why are you dressed like that," said the male teenager dressed in blue
"I did," nodded the boy with the arrow
"With trouble I saw going into… Omashu," said Gordon "I would not be surprised it will be a lot harder than it is," he looked at the male teenager dressed in blue "Do you always ask stupid questions?"
"Uh…" said the male teenager
"Then we will stay on our guard," said the boy with the arrow on his head "Let's go guys,"
"All the more reason I will tag along, I'll help," said Gordon
"Sure, why not," said the boy with the arrow on his head "Oh I am Aang," he pointed to himself and then turned to the girl dressed in blue and the boy dressed in blue "This is Katara and Sokka," then he pointed to the two animals "Momo is on your shoulder and Appa is over there,"
"Gordon is my name," said Gordon "Shall we go,"
The former city of Omashu
Having arrived at the city of Omashu as Aang is concerned of his friend an old king that is almost one-hundred years old. The meeting is to take place at some large metal statue; Gordon, Aang, Katara and Sokka long with the baby stand there as they wait to whoever is going to negotiate. Then three teenage girls show up, two of them recognized and the other he didn't. Gordon can tell right away that the girl behind the emo type girl is a clever stagiest.
"You have my brother," said the emo girl
"Were ready to trade," said Anag
"A thought had just occurred to me," said the other teenage girl dressed in red
"Let me stop you right there," said Gordon "For starters don't waste your breath," He continued to speak "Correct me if I am wrong but this is the part you manipulate your friend in telling her that it's an unfair trade. A powerful….Earth bending king for a child and someone that is your little brother emo girl." Then he turned to look at the girl who looks like a princess "Just goes to show how a stuck-up bitch would even think like that."
"Oooo," said the girl in pink "Do you have any idea of who you are talking too?"
"A girl with a silver spoon stuck up her up her ass," said Gordon
"So that means they were never going to deal," said Sokka
"Well you are smart after all," said Gordon then he whispered to Aang "Stay here I will handle this."
"You don't look like much," said the princess teenager "But no one calls me names,"
Gordon walked forward and said "Appearances can be deceiving little girl, let me guess mommy issues…..hates her brother….snot nosed brat who is indeed of a spanking."
"Shut up," shouted the princess teenager
Gordon walked forward, then the princess teenager uses fire bending on him but Gordon managed to put up his shields. This girl is doing it at full blast smirking and blasting him away with fire bending in thinking she has roasted him to a crisp. Suddenly out of the fire Gordon landed a hard punch to her face as she is thrown backwards by the hit and is floored to the ground. Everyone is in shock by what they just saw and even the two girls were surprised that no one has ever hit the princess before.
Then the one-free-man brings out his gravity gun and fired as it surrounded the metal cage, then propelling him forward right at Aang and the others, Sokka is currently summoning Appa by way of some form of whistle. The princess teenager was knocked out for about a couple of minutes as she came too her anger grew stronger. No one has hit her like that, no one. Oh that man is going to pay. Her face is brushed, she is drawing blood from her mouth and she is now furious.
"Mai and Ty Lee," she shouted "take down the others, I will handle him myself."
"You dare…hit me," she shouted "No one, I mean no one embarrasses princess Azula and lives,"
She fire blasts him once again with fire bending followed by electricity, but Gordon's shields negated all of that and she wondered how he is doing this. A new form of bending she is unaware of, her anger overridden her judgment in which she is hit in the stomach by a knee from Gordon as she felt the air coming out of her body. She stumbled back but recovered by a series of fire bending martial arts moves.
Gordon is no slouch when it comes to fighting and attacked right back with a series of kung-fu and ninja moves to throw her off balance until he leg sweeps her. She spins dances but is punched in the face again, and then she is grabbed and then is being spanked like a child. She growled and tried to break free but his grip was too strong. This is beyond being humiliated and then Gordon picked her up in the air.
"It's been fun," said Gordon as he threw her off "Have a nice trip, see you next fall."
Azula is thrown off as Mai and Ty lee go after her to save her. Gordon turned to see the others are ok as they are and Appa came to take them away but not before dropping the baby off at their proper owners. While Azula was found on the ground with a broken arm and several scratches, Mai and Ty Lee go to get her some proper healing.
"How did you do that," asked Aang
"How do you do all of that….bending." asked Gordon "It would be best to swap stories."
All of them nodded as Appa flies off with them in tow.
