Chapter 2: Welcome toHell

1435 HOURS THE TRAIN STATION

Ada kicked the body aside and helped Barney up.

"Holy crap, that was close," sighed Barney, "OK, now we need to disable the generator."

He walked to the control panel and started typing commands. After a few minutes the generator's shields started to detract. "Leon, throw a grenade into the generator core."

Leon did that, "We've got 10 minutes to extraction and we're going try to rescue all the prisoners we can."

The grenade went off, the whole station was plunged into darkness.

Corporal Adrian Shepard was sitting in his cell thinking, How was I sent 10 years into the future?

What is The Combine?( so on, so forth), when

another person was thrown into the cell.

She was woman of asian appearance and her face was bloodied. "So, the combine got you as well, huh?" she questioned. "What the hell is the combine?" Adrian asked. "Your joking, right?" she replied skeptically, "you then must have being out of the loop for like 10 years."

Adrian's blank look obviously answers the question for her. "Fine what do you want to know?" she sighed. "What is City-17?" he replied.

"Hell"

Then the lights turned off and more importantly the force fields to their cells switched off. The CP's took notice to this and one walked into their cell, his MP7 aimed at them.

In the background screams and gunfire filled the silence.

"Don't move" said the CP and Adrian's female companion stood up. "I said don't move," said the CP as he walked over to her and forced her back down, his back turned to Adrian. "You should," said the CP his hand drawn back into a fist, "learn to respect-"

"Crack!"

The CP fell to his knees, his left leg broken. He was finished by a roundhouse kick to the head.

"Thanks," sighed the asian woman in relief," By the way I'm Tanya Ralos."

"Coporal Adrian Shepard, 81st Hazardous Environment Combat Regiment, US Army at your service."

"Service?" hissed Tanya, her eyes filled with anger, "listen, I don't care what fucking services you have, only if you can handle a gun."

"I can," replied Adrian, taken aback by her attitude.

Tanya's faces softened, "sorry, now let's get out of here."

They stepped out of the cell. "Look out!" someone yelled as 3 people collided into them.

"YOU WHAT!"

Governor Breen, it's not my fault," replied the Combine commander.

"Oh really? THAN WHOSE FAULT IS IT!" screamed Breen.

The Commander was taken aback by how angry the Governor was, of course he had been angry before, but never this angry.

"A pair of prisoners," the Commander started as he held up a hand to stop another outburst, "Helped," he paused, then continued "by a Civil Protection officer."

"A CP?" questioned Breen, after a moment thinking he answered, "Find them and kill them."

"Yes, sir," replied the Commander. Breen killed the connection. "bastard," snarled the commander.

"Ohhhhhh….." sighed Adrian and he pushed himself up off the ground and he went to help the others and he found himself face-to-face with a CP!

Quickly, Adrian pulled the sidearm from the guard's holster and aimed at his face.

"No!" someone yelled and a tough-looking woman blocked his aim.

"Adrian Shepard," said the CP, Adrian flicked off the safety. The CP pulled off his helmet, "You're the last person I expected to see here."

"Barney!" cried Adrian and pulled him into a swift hug. "What the hell is go-"

"No time, it's time for us to get out of here."

Barney shifted his gaze and noticed Tanya. "Tanya," he nodded. "Barney," Tanya replied.

Barney forced his way pass her.

"OK!" Barney yelled to the remainder of the prisoner's, "Here's the deal, we're from the resistance and we're getting everyone out of here, even if you like it or not.

As if on cue, the wall behind Barney collapsed as the view was replaced by several trucks with armour plating and machine guns mounted on the back.

"Calhoun!" yelled the driver of the lead APC, "Let's go! Heavy Combine reinforcements are on the way, including Striders."

"Fuck" whispered Barney. "OK!" he yelled to the crowd of prisoners, "If you want to come with us, let's go or you can go back to your cells."

The crowd surged forward to the APC's.

The prisoners had almost all got in the APC's, when the driver yelled out again, "Barney! The Mouse here says we've got about 1 min-"

The last of the prisoners had gotten in, when 4 large spider-like machines stepped into sight.

"FUCK! Go, go, go!" Barney yelled to the driver of the lead APC. The APC's started up and drove off, except Boris's "C'mon" he waved.

Leon, Ada, Barney, Adrian and Tanya all ran for the APC. They made it in as wall as the wall on the other side collapsed and Combine APC's came screeching in.
