The two fighters stood their ground looking at each other, just as they did before. Both knew that one of them wasn't walking away from this.
Gordon rose his crowbar and the monster jumped up above him and landed on the road. Gordon chased him, he followed it down the highway. Where was it going? Gordon had no idea he kept his head up and followed it. It stopped then turned around and aimed the plasma cannon at Gordon. Gordon shook his head angrily and pulled out his pistol, he jumped forward and shot at the plasma cannon. He hit it and it seemed to spark and malfunction.
The predator turned around and kept running. Gordon got up and followed him. He pushed his glasses up and pressed his legs forward. The monster began to outrun him, it was to fast. But Gordon thought quickly and hit the AUX power. He sped up and started to gain on it. He was right next to it, he jumped and tackled it. He punched it in the face repeatedly. Not stopping, even when his hand began to hurt. The monster pushed him off and stood back up. Gordon took out it crowbar and without hesitation he swung it into it's face.
It was caught and Gordon yanked on it, seeming to hurt the monster. He kept pulling and heard a cracking sound. Then something that sounded like air rushing out. He fell back on the ground and saw the thing's mask fly onto the road. Gordon looked up and saw the monster's face. It's fang's twitched in anger. Gordon opened his mouth to speak his mind, but before he could the monster jumped on him.
It's face grew closer to Gordon, he tried to push it away but it's strength over took him. He manged to punch it in the exposed face. It flew backward. Gordon got back up and took the crowbar , he prepared to shove it into the monster's face. But it stopped his hand and picked him up. It held Gordon off his feet then swayed him over edge of the guard rail. It held him over a cliff. Gordon looked down, it wasn't enough to kill him, but enough to immobilize him.
Suddenly the monster let go. At the last second Gordon grabbed the monster's arm. They both tumbled off the edge. They quickly him the ground dirt flew everywhere. Gordon was stunned, he looked around and saw green blood spread out on the ground. He was stuck on his stomach, being held by a rock. It must have tumbled onto him, since it didn't injure his legs to bad.
He heard nothing, the fall must have killed it. It was over, after everything that had happened. The monster simply fell to it's death. Gordon tried to push the rock off his leg., he then heard coughing. He looked to the side and saw the monster sitting on the side of the rock, in the same position as he was. A rock was sitting on top of his leg. Blood was oozing out from under it, but it didn't appear to be damaged to badly.
The monster itself was not in good shape, it coughed and looked at Gordon with a pathetic stare. Then it reached over to it's wrist and opened the small computer on it. It fiddled with a few buttons and then a beeping started.
It looked at Gordon, breathing heavily and began to laugh. Gordon was confused. He looked at the wrist computer and saw a few symbols flashing on it. The line of numbers began to get shorter. Gordon then realized what it was. He panicked and tried to get the rock off his legs. The alien's laugh began to echo in the distance. In front of Gordon lay the dusty crowbar. Gordon threw his arm at it but it fell a few inches to short.
He kept grasping toward it, the beeps began to get quicker. He couldn't reach it. He reached back down to is suit and put his finger on the AUX power button. He thought about using adrenaline, but there was no way to tell if it refilled, and it was dangerous using it right after he had already.
But Gordon had no choice he switched the button and felt that rush go through him. He pushed himself out from under the rock and picked up the crowbar. Then jumped over to the monster and smashed the crowbar into it's wrist computer. The electricity crackled and the device shut off. The monster kicked Gordon's leg from under him and he fell face first into the dirt. The predator was furious, it kicked the rock off it's leg with a burst of anger.
This human had destroyed half it's equipment, inflicted many wounds on it, and destroyed it's last ditch effort to keep honor. It picked Gordon up by the back of the neck and threw him out onto the dirt. Gordon was disoriented. The monster ejected it's blades yet again. It limped over to Gordon. But he jumped up and swung the crowbar with two hands across the face of the monster. Green blood spurted out onto his glasses.
Some strength still remained from the last shot of adrenaline. The monster screamed at Gordon and picked him up by the neck, Gordon gagged and dropped the crowbar.
Ahead was a cliff, a cliff that was much deeper than the last one. The predator walked to it with Gordon still in his grasp. Gordon saw the edge of it from the corner of his eye. He struggled and tried to shake out of it's hand. The monster was to focused to budge.
It held Gordon over the cliff. It didn't drop him, however it took it's blades. Lining it up with Gordon's neck the monster looked into his eyes. Gordon looked back. The monster brought it's blades back for the final swing on Gordon. But Gordon threw his leg up and kicked ht monster in the crotch. It yelled into the sky and dropped Gordon.
They both went to their knees. Gordon was breath heavily, he looked up and saw his chance to attack. He kicked the monster in the face, it fell back. It was then laying on the ground, as helpless as an ant on it's back. Gordon walked over to to it and knelt down. He looked into it's face and pushed up his glasses. He then just shook his head and rose a fist. As he pushed it down the monster caught it. "Freeman" it said in a distorted deep voice.
It pushed Gordon back and stood up. Gordon was knelt with his hands on his knees. It rushed over to him and Gordon pushed it over his back. It landed on it's feet but Gordon hit in the face before it could realize what happened. He then took a grenade, the last one he had. He stuck into the wound of the monster's belly. He pushed as far as he could, up into it's body. It yelled in pain and Gordon kicked it off the edge of the cliff.
It flayed it arms and legs. The it's entire body was engulfed in a round explosion of fire. Gordon closed his eyes in relief. It was over, Gordon Freeman-1, Monster-0. He noticed that something was clenched in his hand. He looked at it, a string with a small assortment of skulls on it. Skulls no bigger than a cat's. It was some sort of other alien with a long cranium, it didn't surprise Gordon. He'd seen his share of aliens now.
He looked down over the cliff, there was nothing. He knew that it was finally dead. After taking out countless metro police, a group of rebels, a vortigaunt, and a SAS trained sniper. It was no match for a physicist with a crowbar. Gordon took a final sigh of relief.
Then, the sound of clicking. It was coming from behind him. It had to have just been his imagination. He turned around and saw three more monster's glaring at him. They all had their plasma cannon aimed at his face. The one in the middle looked down at his side and saw the skull necklace. It then looked back up at his face. Gordon knew he didn't stand a chance, but still stood his ground. The monster then deactivated the laser. The other two did the same. It then turned around and the other two slowly followed. They walked off and activated their cloaking. Gordon was in awe, he then looked across the cliff and saw the G-Man looking in his direction, he straightened his tie and walked away.
