Gordon Freeman vs. Apocalypse
Round 1 Day 16:
Gordon Freeman rode into the ruined city in his dilapidated Dune Buggy armed with all his weapons, prepared for his enemy ahead. Freeman spied the massive form of Apocalypse and trained the buggy’s guns on him before opening fire, the rounds ripping through the air.
Apocalypse saw the bullets coming and simply raised a kinetic force field, stopping the bullets in mid-air.
“Predictable humans…” Apocalypse groaned as he fired a beam of psionic energy back at the Physicist.
The beam hit the buggy dead on, causing it to catapult into the air over Apocalypse. Freeman launched himself from the wreckage mid-air, a rocket launcher in one hand and a strange grenade in the other.
Freeman fired the rocket at Apocalypse, who cleanly dodged to the right, causing an explosion beneath him while Gordon quickly threw the Pheropod at the distracted Apocalypse and braced himself for impact with the ground.
Gordon hit the ground hard, his suit taking the brunt of the damage as he took cover behind a trashed car. Apocalypse coughed as the Pheropod released a spray over his body before he realized he sensed a rumbling from deep below the earth. Apocalypse looked down at the dirt patch exposed by the rocket’s explosion, which was now rumbling fiercely.
A throng of antlions poured from the surface and climbed on top of each other to swarm over Apocalypse’s massive form, biting and scratching into him.
“Enough of this!” Apocalypse shouted as he sent a wave of psionic energy outward, shattering the anlions before sending another beam into the ground, killing any potential backup.
“Do you honestly think any of your petty attacks will destroy me!?” Apocalypse shouted as his wounds quickly healed and he looked up to face Gordon.
Gordon had his Gluon Gun already charged and trained on the massive form of Apocalypse. A beam shot from the end of the cannon and into the surprised Apocalypse, who was hit by the blast and plowed through a number of nearby skyscrapers.
Freeman quickly armed his Hyper Gravity Gun and ran over to the wreckage of the buggy, knowing that explosion wouldn’t be enough to finish his opponent. Gordon used the Hyper Gravity Gun lift a Magnusson Device taped to a grenade he’d strapped to the back of the buggy. Gordon pulled the pin on the grenade and fired it into the air where Apocalypse had landed.
A massive explosion filled the air as Gordon dove behind the remains of the buggy to take cover from the explosion.
Gordon looked up from the explosion to see Apocalypse standing before him completely unharmed.
“You didn’t really think that would work did you?” Apocalypse chided.
Freeman responded by lifting the buggy behind him with the gravity gun and sending it flying into Apocalypse. Apocalypse raised an energy barrier that stopped the car mid-air before launching the car back into Freeman.
The buggy hit Gordon with the fury of a hurricane and pinned him against a wall. Apocalypse followed up the attack by kicking into the buggy, causing the scrap metal to dig into Freeman as his suit gave him dire warnings.
Gordon painfully reached for the Tau Cannon mounted on the buggy and swiveled it towards Apocalypse, firing a volley directly into the mutant’s face. Apocalypse withstood the attack unphased.
“Pathetic,” Apocalypse seethed as he shot a massive beam of psionic energy into the physicist that was powerful enough to create a new Grand Canyon.
