Alien Slaves 7
****
"Oh My...." Gordon gasps.
His eyes focused on the large floating creature in the chamber. It stared right down at him. Its eyes filled with evil. Gordon feet turned to jelly and he fell back.
"This is the creature.....the creature controlling the invasion....the creature who ordered his minions to kill, kill mindlessly...."
Gordon stepped back behind a rock and pulled out his Rocket Launcher. One of the most destructive weapon he had. It would finish off the Creature...
****
Nihilanth floated in the chamber, he started drawing energy from the crystals. The Human would retaliate with all he had but would be fruitless when compared to the power of the crystal.
The Human stepped behind one of the rocks of his chamber. Nihilanth waited for him to make his first move...
Phew!
Something flew straight at him. A Rocket!
Boom!
Arrrrrrrr!
****
I sat there in the chamber....thinking of my fate....what would happen....what happened if I died....what happens when I die....I was afraid of death....afraid of how Nihilanth would torture me after he finished with the human....
Yes he was right....there was no way out....there is no way the human could win Nihilanth....he's too strong....too powerful....how did he ever get this power....who gave him this power....to be wasted...to be placed in the wrong hands....and produce violence and corruption.....
Arrrrrrrr! A scream suddenly filled my head! It almost killed me.
The Human!
Iniss! This is Colath! The Human is fighting with Nihilanth! I've managed to summon a portal but I do not know where it's destination is...this is your chance to escape! Colath voice suddenly appeared in my head.
What? Are you crazy? I'll be killed!
I could not get a location confirmation! Nihilanth fighting has messed up the teleportation system!
Nihilanth could be stopped for good....the Human managed to cause him pain...the Human maybe able to find a weakness in Nihilanth and destroy him once and for all!
Iniss! There is no time....Even if the Human destroys Nihilanth, we'll be trapped here! Nihilanth controls all teleportation in and out of Xen. Once he is gone...we'll be trapped here! Forever!
Colath...you know I want to see Nihilanth be destroyed....
When Nihilanth is destroyed....so will all of us....there is no future here once he is gone....corruption will engulf the Controllers....the Xens will die out...
How do you know? We can re-build Xen! Call all the other Controller together and re-build this place....
The Controller all want power....that what they want....they aren't interested in the common good....if you don't go....there is no hope left....please...go...
A Portal started to appear in my chamber....I had to decide....leave this place....trust my Fate to the portal....start anew....or stay here....and try to re-build Xen....
I had to decide...
****
"Yes! Take the you bastard!"
The Creature moaned, if winced in pain. Than turned towards me, a glowing ball formed in it's hand..
"Oh shit..."
****
Nihilanth screamed from the pain....whatever device the Human used against him, it hurt...he needed to draw power from the crystals...
It numbed the pain....now Nihilanth was really angry....he formed a energy ball in it's hand and let it go at the Human...
****
The energy ball blew away the rock. It threw me high up into the air...than I landed......but something was wrong....the time it took me to fall to the ground was too short....I must have landed on a platform....
My back was aching...I was in pain....but I had to get up....the Hazard had already ran out of Morphine...It's splinting device out of commission....even it's HUD display was haywire....Gina's Voice was distorted...
I turned on my back....the pain knocking me out when i spotted something....something glowing.....glowing yellow.....like a crystal....
Oh My!
I could not believe my eyes! The Crystal! The Sample!
The Object that caused all of these....
That's it! The Creature must be drawing power from it!
I took out my Gulon...aimed and fired!
****
I managed to tune into Nihilanth eyes. He was drawing power from the crystal. Drawing power from it to heal his pain....than I spotted the Human, he held an object in his hand....he seemed to fire shots from it....than....
Nooooooo! Screamed Nihilanth...
The Human! He's firing at the crystal! Somehow his weapon managed to shattered the Xenite crystal.....it was impossible....the Xenite Crystal was as hard as anything....impossible to destroy....it was the hardest object ever known to Xen.
Arrr! Noooo It cannot be happening!
Another Crystal Gone!
****
"Time to send you back to where you came from...."
I Took out my Crowbar and gave the last crystal one last whack!
****
Blitz! I fell on the cold hard floor....I pulled myself up, and looked around me....i teleported right in front of a Human Vehicle....
Great....back on Earth....
Earth....the last place I wanted to end up at
I was in a place where Humans parked their Vehicle since I saw many other similar Vehicle place in a neat order. There were many Human 'Crates' stacked around also...I turned around and found the exit blocked by fallen rocks. I walked forward and followed the only pathway...

"Gordon Freeman in the flesh, or rather, in the hazard suit. I took the liberty of relieving you of your weapons. Most of them were government property. As for the suit...I think you've earned it..."
"The border world, Xen, is in our control for the time being thanks to you. Its quite a nasty piece of work you've managed over there. I am impressed"
"That is why I'm here Mr. Freeman. I have recommended your services to my..err..."employers" and they have authorised me to offer you a job. They agree that you display limitless potential"
"You've proved yourself a decisive man so I don't think you'll have any troubles in deciding what to do. If your interested just step into the portal and I will take that as a yes. Otherwise, well...mmmmm... I can offer you a battle that you have no chance of winning. Rather an anti-climax after what you've just survived."
"Time to choose..."
I hung my head low....I knew if i did not accept the offer...it would be it...
"Wisely done Mr. Freeman! I will see you up ahead..."
****
I had wandered for like 30 minutes....I was beginning to tire....I have not met a single soul yet...I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong....
I laid on a Human Vehicle, it was larger than the other Vehicle...around twice as long....
Dit! Dit! Dit!
What the....I got up and walked towards the source of the voice. It came from a large orange object, more of a cylinder...
It had a screen. It was covered in Human blood so i wiped it away with my claws...
On the Screen it showed...

I didn't know what happened, but I guess by instinct I ran...ran away from the object....
****
Authors note: All right! I know you guys must be thinking...what the....that's it? Yup. The Alien Slaves Series it completed. I know it's a very short story...But this was what i had planned it to all come down to...Iniss running away from the Nuke....It's been a fun time writing Alien Slaves!
