(Authors note: This is an alternate timeline for Half-Life 2. It's set in the times during CITY 17's destruction. The citadel still stands, and the Breen's portal has not been created... yet.)
July 10, 2XXX
The blackened sun ran cold over the cloudy sky. Gordon freeman, ex-scientist whom is on the verge of saving the world, is riding the train to Nova Prospekt for evaluation on the events of Black Mesa. He was one of the ten whom escaped freely without mortifying wounds. The images still haunt his mind today. He looks out the window of the train and gazes upon the mass destruction of the land... If you would even call it land. Hell, he thought. Trees burned to ash and the hot embers of fire were cooled by the acid rain. Smog filled the air, and smelt like burning plastic. The mist of blood filled Gordon's nose and causes him to sniffle.
The train stops with a eerie screech causing Gordon to flinch at the loud irritating noise. Waddling off the ride, he looks around and is met by Metro Police. Nothing to do now but wonder around. Burnt paper and cigar butts were mashed along the sidewalk. A single alien vortigaunt* sweeps up the fallen dust and dirt from dirty boots. A large train began to leave, and created more screeching. The strong sent of hot sticky breathe fills his lungs, and causes him to cough in disgust.
"Welcome! Welcome, to City Seventeen!" A loud voice calls on intercoms. Gordon recognizes that voice, but can't get a grasp on the thought. He looks up to see the giant Combine* energy screen. It has a man giving a speech about the city, which caught Gordon's attention. This is a city? What happened to Nova Prospekt? He became confused at the sudden change of area.
"Move along!" The muffled voice of a Metro Cop rang. Gordon's back side was fused with a sting of a stun baton. He winced, but kept moving on trying not to cause havoc. Where's his damn crowbar?
Having nothing but the dirty civies* on his back, Gordon makes his way through the fence in the brick walls. He has a feeling that today was not going to end well.

this is promising i always had the prospect of Gordon coming to equestria after Episode 2 when he faints G-man teleports Gordon to Equestria, but i thought that the equestria Gordon was going into was a equestria where the combine invaded, as the combine are from another dimension I think. well my whole Gordon goes to equestria idea has a few holes in it but is none of the less a good idea of how Gordon comes to equestria. A last note this has alot of promise to be good but Gordon CANNOT TALK instead write what Gordon Freeman is thinking
this story is good so far keep up the great work 
, and I haven't even read it yet.!
Forgive a silly comment, but I was under the impression that the Combine looked nothing like humans. So far as I know, the only "true" Combine we've seen in the games have been the Advisers from Episodes 1 and 2, and the only other Combine sub-species that have gotten any development has been the Vortigaunts (Unless you want to count the mechanically enhanced species, such as the air-ships and Striders).
Of course, if you mean that your version of the true Combine (Which may factor very heavily into your story, for all I know) are humanoid, then never mind.
Anyway, I don't really have that much to say about the actual intro; as you pointed out it's quite short. A few spelling errors are apparent, mostly your spelling of Prospect. Otherwise, things seem to be fine, in terms of mechanics. Good luck.
