Thanks for all the reviews, and I'm sorry I haven't been too descriptive
but this is the last chapter (aaawwwwww) I will try to make it as good as
possible. On with the show. And tell me what you think of the ending.

The feeling of being transported from one place to another was a thing I could never become used to. This new place I ended up in was a large cylindrical room with four platforms around it with strange looking weapons attached to the ends of catwalks. I think I was still in Earth and this Xen world.
Then I noticed the most hideous creature I had encountered thus far. It was a massive creature with a giant mouth and two beady red eyes and it looked very angry at me. I looked down from where I was and the floor was several hundred miles below me, or at least from what I could make out. This creature was a giant. It wasted no time in materializing five blue orbs and sending them at me. I fired the Accelerator at him but nothing happened.
Then I got an obvious idea, use the weapon on the end of the platform. I took aim of the cannon and it fired this blue beam that pierced the right eye with careful aim and it closed it in pain. I then turned to the left eye and fired another burst at it. Once he closed that eye his mouth opened and this large yellow crystal was inside it.
Taking aim I fired around five bursts of this beam weapon at the crystal and it cracked a little bit. Then I noticed the creature become violent and it lifted one of its massive muscular arms and swiped at the platform. I rolled out of the way and jumped to the similar platform next to me. The one I had been standing on fell and crumbled on the ground down below.
I repeated the process of firing the beams at its eyes and then the crystal and I was on the final platform and was about to his the crystal again.
I fired and it shattered. I was filled with a little hope just then. I thought with the crystal destroyed it would die and this guy seemed to be the last one I had to deal with.
It roared for what seemed like an eternity and then it stared at me which made me jump a little and almost out of my suit and skin by its sudden gaze. Then it opened its mouth and inhaled. Its massive breathing was actually moving me. I held onto the ground for as long as I could but then I flew right into its mouth and down a large tunnel.
It had swallowed me! I continued to fall and then finally ended up in some liquid that began to burn through my suit.
"Warning, Hazardous radiation levels detected!" the suit's voice told me. I must be inside the stomach I said finding a place that wasn't covered in this acid.
"How am I gonna get out of this one?" I asked myself seeing chunks of food fall from the ceiling and land with other chunks of food in the acid.
I spied a tunnel a few feet from my location along the wall of this red room.
I entered the tunnel and it led upwards. I went to the end and some force lifted me further up and into this large chamber.
The very walls of this chamber were moving, this creature was breathing and I intended on stopping that.
I noticed a large beating object, it looked like the heart of the monster. I took my M16 and fired all I could into the massive organ until blood poured from it and it began to beat very slowly. The chamber than flooded with blood and now I was stuck again.
I swam up to the surface and noticed another passage leading further up the monster.
Climbing along its innards wasn't fun and rather revolting to the touch. Eventually at the top was its rather large brain. Taking aim again I fired all I had at the muscle and it began to shake violently and electricity was all around me and then I felt myself being flung out of its body.
I was back on the platform that wasn't destroyed and the saw the large monster in front of me dying a horrible death screaming in pain and agony.
Before I could witness it stop moving a green flash hit me and I was being summoned to another location.
I stood up and was in some kind of elevator that looked like it was inside Black Mesa but looking out the window of it I saw the alien world. Then the lift stopped and the doors opened.
A man stepped inside with me and hit the button on the side and walked in front of me. Was he a survivor?
He had a wrinkled face and a short black haircut. He wore a fine blue suit and a black tie. In his hand was a briefcase with the Black Mesa logo on it. He dusted himself off with his free hand and then adjusted his tie as the lift began to move downwards.
It shocked me. Quite ironic being startled by an elevator moving when I've faced a horde of death and survived the entire thing.
"Mr. Gray Johnstone. Oh excuse me, I know you prefer to be addressed asssss just Gray. You have truly surprised me with all you have been through."
Then the alien world changed and we were going through the sky. Where were we?
"For someone just starting his hopefully successssful career as someone important he was introduced to this holocaust as it were. For such little training you made it through all the ordeals. I am impresssssed."
"I didn't do this to impress you!" I shouted to him.
"My apologies, I didn't mean to put it that way. Well you seem to be a man of action so I will get straight to the point shall I?" he said as a large flash blinded me. Then the flash was gone.
"What was that?" I asked this suited man.
"Let's just say Black Mesa has taken care of itself." He chuckled in his raspy voice and then he cleared his throat as I heard the mucus in it move. "I am going to offer you a choice. My eeeeemployers have taken note of your great abilities and would like to hire you for a full time job with us to help clean up the mess left by Black Mesa."
"And the other choice?" I asked him.
"Well, perhaps you could experience something truly amazing. I do hope though you do not take this choice." As he finished his sentence the elevator stopped and the bell sounded signaling it.
"Our stop." He said as the doors opened and a large green portal was on the other side. "Step into the portal and I will take that as a sign you want to work with us."
I removed my helmet and let my long brown hair flow down. It stopped just above my eyebrows. My ruby eyes glimmered in the light from the ceiling of this lift. I was thinking it over.
"Time to choose!" He told me.
I made my choice...
"As much as I want to take your offer of employment I'm going to have to decline, because working with you scares me." I told him. The elevator doors closed.
"It looks like we won't be working together. Don't worry Gray no regretsssssss." He hissed at me. Then my body felt weird and I fell to the ground.
When I opened my eyes I was in the seat of a transit car and my hazard suit wasn't on me. I was heading into Black Mesa but I looked around and everything seemed normal. Perhaps everything is back to normal after all and I'm safe at last.
Then the transit car began to speak like usual but in some kind of broken English and I couldn't understand a word of it. It must be broken.
Heading further down into the facility I didn't see the familiar sign of workers and such as the first time I came down here. Where were they all?
Then the train stopped and the door opened and I took a step out and through the small doorway and I saw the most horrifying thing I have ever seen.
It was a series of slaves and alien grunts running experiments on human being in this room. That broken English on the train wasn't because it was broken it was an actual language. The language of these creatures. Soon one of them took me and threw me into this tube and filled it with this liquid. I floated with a mask and a series of plugs hooked to me.
The door opened in front of me in the room and that suited man from before stepped out to greet me.
"I'm sorry we met on such hard terms Gray. Though you can't change things now. You're probably wondering where you are and why these creatures are doing things to humans. I've sent you to an alternate world where the humans and aliens have switched roles. Interesssting don't you agree?" he said before turning and walking away through the door.
I had only lived through these experiments by the aliens for a few hours until my body was thrown into a vat of other dead humans where I slowed drifted into my own death.

Well that's it. I hope the ending doesn't suck but it's a different ending than you might have expected. Hope you all enjoyed.
