Gordon and Alyx held up the best they could until the resistance finally arrived. They boarded a helicopter getting out of there with the cargo, seeing who was flying was Barney. "Took you guys long enough?" "Eh, we had a little bit of a detour".

Suddenly they heard a signal on the radio. "Attention, does anyone read me, we need help here; we don't know how, but the combine have opened another portal, send help now". The radio went down "we need to help them in some way" "well we also need to get this cargo back; okay listen, we can drop you off, and as soon as we drop off the cargo, we'll come help".

Barney landed the ship on a rooftop as Gordon, Alyx, and a small group of rebels jumped off. "We'll be back soon, try not to kill yourself too easily" as Barney took off back to their base. They walked through the city taking out any combine that stood in their way, where they saw the portal.

Alyx worked on the controls to turn it off but couldn't do anything about it. Barney finally arrived back "hey guys, what's the situation here?" "Damn it, there's no way to turn this thing off". "But Gordan, you still have the hazard suit, you could disrupt the portal on the other" said Barney "but there's a chance you might be stuck in there" said Alyx. "Please, Gordan's been to places like this before, he can handle it". Barney and Gordan got on the helicopter "Gordan, just be careful" Alyx said kissing Gordan on the cheek. They took off, Gordan took the machine gun, taking down any combine dropship trying to stop them.

They flew above the portal as Gordan was ready to jump in "hey, Gordan, we found this in the lab, you might need it" Barney said giving Gordan his old boost jet pack. "If you survive this, I guess I owe you two beers". Gordan jumped into the portal as he entered the combine homeworld.
