    For your enjoyment, here comes the next instalment of the Half-Life 2 episode trilogy. Pony style. Contains spoilers for Episode 2.

    A short length of time after Eli's funeral, Gordon, Alyx and Barney come across a set of strange creatures who the combine have captured and were experimenting on. The humans attempt to help these poor wretches find their way home, and end up accidentally hurling themselves through an inter-dimensional rift.

    Now, the trio has to find their way back soon. Before Equestria befalls the same fate as Earth, with Gordon and a certain princess battling the G-Man and his nefarious plans. Whatever they may be.

    Wake up and smell the ashes...

    Closest to Episode Three we'll ever get. Might as well make do with what we have.

    I mean, it has an 'E' in the title! That's pretty close to three!

    That was faithful, if not brilliant.

    You managed to stay true to the feel of Half-Life in writing no less, and then managed to set it up to enter Equestria.

    Please, dear sir/madam, may we have another chapter soon?

    >>778166 You're misinformed. this sin't even close to as popular as mld. This website's popularity chart is kind of messed up and it really just shows popular things from a short amount of time. Mld was just uploaded, but isn't very popular here because most people read it in docs or somewhere else.

    Why is everything in italics? No matter, this was a very fulfilling chapter. However, you're making G-Man into a villain. He's really more of a mysterious anti-hero. (Anti-hero and villain are actually different! Logic, right?)

    Looks like it was just an error with the bbcode parsing. Looks like it was meant to be italics for a single word.

    Haha, you can blame that on the bbcode parsing as well. Current one doesn't properly close tags at the end of stories, thus it all staying italics into the comments section. Rewriting the parser is one of the things the FimFiction guys are working on, though.

    A good story, but why did the story suddenly turn all into italics?

    You also need to do some spell checking with a spell checking program.

    Hey, in the area where Celestia wakes up, you messed up a (It has a space to look like [/i ]) and the italics continued throughout the rest of the chapter. You should really fix that. It's annoying. :fluttershyouch:

    This is all shades of awesome. And if we get Aperture Science in the action, that can be downright genius.

    Oh boy I dreamed so often of GLaDOS vs Combine xD

    (Also, I hope the Mane 6 and the Princesses will get a bigger role as the story goes on, it would be a bit disappointing otherwise)

    Again, you did an amazing job on keeping the Half-Life feel.

    Love this chapter.

    I notice a few done goof'ds.

    (Called from behind them)

    "Twilight Sparkle." The princess called fro behind them.

    (Capitalisation for Twilight's name)

    And I will never let that happen." twilight replied and straightened her back defiantly.

    (He said to the rebel soldier who brought him three cups of tea. She smiled)

    Odessa clapped his hands. "Thank you my dear." he said t the rebel soldier who brought him three cups of tea. SHe smiled and nodded to him, blushing and giggling as Gordon watched her.

    (Gather the troops. We'll beat them)

    Odessa nodded. "Gather the troops. We;ll beat them away from our We have assistance this time."

    (Not sure if this on was done because Celestia wakes up midway through.)

    "He looked up and spied a larger girder he thought he could use as a"

    (Double space between off and Earth)

    Freeman. Fighting for truth, justice, and ready to kick any alien invaders off  Earth.

    (Just capitalisation for the 'i's')

    "i didn't say anything." she grinned and soothed the one nearest to her."

    "if the Freeman will assist?" Sparks asked."

    Celestia shook her head. "I do no know, sister. But i do know that the suited man seeks to use the armoured man.

    I know I have missed one thing, but anyway, I hope i've been helpful!

    In regards to the Combine traveling between dimensions, that's exactly how they reached Earth. Because of the experiments done by Black Mesa into understanding Xen, the Vortigaunts home world. This attracted the attention of the Combine who had already enslaved the Vortigaunts and currently control a massive multidimensional empire. The only reason that the Combine is getting kicked out off Earth is due to the collapse of their own super portal, which was permanently closed at the end of Episode 2.

    The G-Man is understandably interested in the Pony world though, as he was already interested with Earth before the Black Mesa Incident, and does have the ability to jump between various dimensions, from what we've seen of him so far.
