Half-Life 2: The Rebels - Escape

[Uplink]

A little HL2 fanfic.

Half-Life 2: The Rebels
Episode One: Escape
Part I
It was a cold winter morning in City 17. There was frost on the surveillance bot as it flew above the slippery roads of the city, empty except for combine soldier patrols. The robot looked like the result of a cross between a cyborg wasp and a giant humming bird. It floated gently through the city and turned into a narrow alley and then down a flight of steps.
The building it went into was old and run-down. The greyish blue walls had bullet holes and other marks on. The windows were barred with wooden planks that were rotting.
The robot turned into a small room. Through it’s camera lens, a man or woman somewhere saw a gun. Well, that’s not entirely true. They saw the end of a gun. The end that goes bang.
This gun went bang.

Kat and Sam ran into the room when they heard the gunshot.
“What’s going on?” Kat asked in her upper-class English accent. Kat looked about sixteen and had brown hair in a ponytail. She was wearing a blue sweater and jeans.
“It was a bug. We’ve got troops inbound” the man holding the shotgun said in a deep voice. He was quite tall and muscular with a stubble beard and floppy blonde hair. He was wearing a red and blue shirt and beige combat trousers.
“Crap” Sam swore in a Texan accent. Sam had spiky black hair and freckles and looked about seventeen.
A third man ran in from the same door as Sam and Kat. He looked about fifty with short brown hair that was going grey and wearing glasses. He was wearing a white scientist’s coat.
“What’s happening?” he asked.
“Everything’s going to hell doc” Sam said.
“It was a bug, soldiers we’ll be on their way Doctor” the man with the gun told him.
“Okay then. Max, is the buggy ready?” the Doctor asked. Max, the rugged looking blonde nodded.
“Ok, Sam come and help me start it up. You and Kat hold them off and then run out back. We’ll go to... the docks. We can stay with Janet until we find another base... Oh, did you plant the explosives?” the doctor asked. Max nodded again. “Let’s go then”
Max knelt down and opened a box on the floor. He tossed Kat his shotgun and took a machine gun from the box. They both loaded them up.
“Ready?” Kat asked.
“I’m always ready” Max replied.

Hmm... maybe this should be in off-topic? I dont know.

I'm not really sure where fanfic would go mate , If there's enough call for them I'm sure rec or one of the other admins will setup a section at that time, but I guess for now I'll move it over to Rumors and Speculation, as its still HL2 related only made up/fanfic so kinda like speculation I suppose

 

[Uplink]

Well, thanks Fenric.

 

[ComradeBadger]

I'm gonna move this to Off Topic, until we have a fan-fic forum, since thats where all the others have gone

 

[Uplink]

Thank you Mr. Badger.

Half-Life 2 - The Rebels
Episode One: Escape
Part II

“Rebel stronghold is just ahead!” a voice came over the soldier’s radio.
Six of the identically attired soldiers, all dressed in black and armed with sub machine guns, were riding in a black APC down a dirty street in City 17.
“Go, go, go!” shouted the captain. The doors were flung open and the soldiers charged down an alleyway and into a decaying old building, the leader kicking in the wooden door.
“Some stronghold” somebody muttered.
They were at one end of a long corridor with two doors going off it. Standing in the middle of the corridor was a man and a woman, both armed.
“Take ‘em down” the captain shouted.
The soldiers opened fire as the rebels did.
“Eat lead!” Max shouted as his bullets tore through the soldier’s flimsy uniform.
The soldiers fell one by one into an ever-expanding puddle of blood.
“There’s too many of them!” Kat yelled.
“Ok, pull back” Max and Kat ran shooting through the open doorway to their left.
“Pursue!” the captain ordered.
Max scraped his leg on a table as they charged through the dark rooms, shooting back at the soldiers. Max rammed the final door open and they fell out into the street, where the doctor and Sam were waiting in a motorised buggy.
It was red, the seats were covered with a black material that was torn and ripped. There were two machine guns mounted on the front and back and because there was no roof or sides, they could lean out an shoot from the sides.
Sam was driving with the Doctor taking the front gun.
“Let’s go!” Max shouted as Kat and him jumped in the back. Kat grabbed the mounted gun and fired as soldiers poured out into the street. Max fired with his machine gun.
They turned a corner and crossed under a bridge.
“Crap. We’re in downtown, Sam, there’s gonna be troops everywhere!” Max shouted. Now the APC was chasing them, and soldiers were leaning out the windows and firing.
“Take a...” Max began. They had just turned into a large. There were exits to the left and right. There were three patrols of soldiers marching through it.
"Uh oh"

Explain further? In this specific forum, or do you just mean the redirect? I'll have to scrap this subforum if the clone's here, it's a bug we've had for a while now.

 

[Axyon]

Ugh, damn bugs. Yeah, I see what you mean. Forum removed until we fix this issue. Sorry everyone.

 

[ComradeBadger]

So, what do you guys think about Rebels? Is anybody even reading this?

Part III

“DRIVE!” Kat shouted. Sam accelerated, running down the shocked soldiers as bullets sprayed everywhere.
Max glanced up.
“We’ve got an aerial” it was a flying robot with machine guns on the underside of its wings. The bullets just missed, one pinged off a bar.
“Right, left, right!” Kat shouted as they pulled out of the square with now at least twenty soldiers in pursuit. Sam turned right, then left, then right. They were at the edge of the city now, on a long ridge. There was a ramp at the end.
“The ramp, hit the ramp” Kat said. Sam looked back.
“Are you crazy?” he asked. Max had taken a grenade launcher out from under the seat and loaded it.
“Do it” he said.

know whats cool? telling stories backwards, you should done that after your first episode there. Like tell the story leading up to that moment, its fun to read if you do it right.
