After a ferocious journey through the halls of Black Mesa and the arduous ecosystems of the Xen, Adrian Shephard is once more deployed to save someone. A girl. He doesn't know why, but if it guarantees his life, he's willing to get the job done.

After a Portal Storm sweeps through the entire world, an anomalous event that confused even the Combine, worlds, timelines, and universes are now twisted into the world that is conquered by the Universal Union. People with abilities never seen before on this earth appear. Will they turn the tide into the Rebel's favor? Or will it be another Resonance Cascade?

The allies of Middle Earth grow thinner, while more join the forces of Sauron and his army of darkness. Seeking to spark the embers of hope once again, Gandalf journeys to a land not known by many for assistance. Because he does not wish for Sauron to learn of this unknown world, he seeks for one competent warrior, one that can hopefully resist the One Ring's temptations.
