Half-Life Integral
The Nebula
I exited the familiar sensation of being transported somewhere and was still in the alien world. Platforms floating aimlessly in the "sky" around me. I looked down and noticed another portal down there. I began to jump down each platform to reach this portal.
Once I was on the bottom an alien grunt appeared behind me. I armed that gun I got from the Elite and fired with the first trigger point I noticed. The grunt began to move faster and faster and then eventually exploded from the inside. This weapon seems to accelerate the motion of whatever it hits and accelerates the particles inside the thing until it combusts. I noticed two trigger points on this weapon and decided to use the second one later. Though I really hoped there wouldn't be a later.
Jumping into this portal I noticed I was still in the alien world, but then I wasn't. This place surely made me stop dead and just stare in amazement.
"What the hell?"
It had the sky of the alien world and the ground and floating platforms of it but it also led into areas that looked like Black Mesa. Wherever I was it was sure freaky. I must be between worlds by the look of things.
I moved into the Black Mesa area and was immediately attacked by three houndeyes. I used the second trigger point on the Accelerator, what I called it, and a green beam fired this time and I made sure to hit all three of them until the gun ran out of power.
This time it did the opposite. The three creatures had been slowed down instead of sped up. They were trying to attack me like they would usually do but were moving so slowly it would take them at least 10 minutes to even begin to screech at me. I entered a door and was now in a test chamber but the walls were removed and I could see the alien sky above me.
More attackers appeared but I swapped for my shotgun this time. I blasted all of them but lost a little health and power as well as ammunition. This chamber was very strange. It had this large device in the center and this wrecked device in front of it. It seemed like it was used for experiments.
I had no time to worry about that. I exited through a hole in the floor and crawled through...alien rocks? This place defied all logic.
After crawling through I was out on an alien platform with no sign of Earth technology. It was a straight path and I actually looked below me. There was a platform directly below the one I was on but I couldn't reach it from here. I decided to just keep walking forward. I entered this cave and ended up in yet another Black Mesa area.
Dead scientists and security officers were strewn everywhere. It was a horrifying room. I stepped through carefully and it felt like nothing else would attack me. I walked through the door and was now in a completely Earth area.
There were dead grunts and black ops lying dead on the ground. I quickly grabbed all the ammunition that they had on them. I also picked up another of those M16's that I left behind when fighting the Elite. I was well stocked in both Mp5 and M16 ammo. I kept going down this hallway and opened the door at the end.
It was an elevator. I stepped into it and it went down. I was half expecting it to break and kill me but I had no other choice.
Once the door opened I was back in the alien world but now I saw dead bodies of the aliens this time. Where other humans here? This was making very little sense. I wanted to leave here fast, my brain was starting to go crazy from the lack of logic in this place.
Now there was this strange looking pad on the ground. It was a light color and looked useful somehow.
I stepped onto it and was vaulted into the air and into a portal above me.
"Feeeeeeeaaaarrrrrrr uuuuuuuusssssssss"
It was that voice again. But what was it telling me, and why? Fear who? Something tells me that I was about to fight a creature like nothing I had ever seen before.
This place was completely black and there was a large red portal near this spiked tower. I readied my Accelerator and breathed in and jumped.
The only thing I could hear then was the sound of my own heavy breathing. Where was I going?
