The second chapter of Doom 3. This is where they realize what's goin' on, and kill a zombie or two. As the chapters get farther, it gets bloodier.

Chapter Two: Demon's Reality

/Malice and Raven/ (This chapter will be mostly them.The Doom 3 workers and marines are refered to by there last names. Such as, a guy could ahve first name Bob, but have last name Kazansky, and he's called Kazansky.)

As they entered the lower bowels of the facility, they couldn't help but be on edge. Lights constantly flickered, there were strange voices, and worst of all, the workers seemed to feel the same way. They entered the garage to go to the Old Comm Facility.

"You two seem on edge. The key to this place is relax. Don't let anyone get under your skin." Ryan, a marine, said. "Looks like you have to go across the surface. Hey, don't sweat it. Your suits have enough oxygen."

Malice touched the panel displaying "Depressurize Airlock" and they stepped into the airlock. Not a word had been spoken between the two the entire time. Raven broken the silence.

"I don't like this. I sense... evil within the walls." She said, looking at Malice.

"I sense it too. Something's not right. We can tell Kelly about this when we bring that scientist back." He replied, touching the Cycle Airlock button on the panel inside the airlock. It took a few seconds... then...

It opened, and they were breathing oxygen from their suits. Malice heard Raven gasp as it opened, and saw her step back. He tapped her shoulder, and indicated the airlock that was about 20 feet away. She nodded, and they crossed the distance in short time. Once inside the pressurized airlock, Raven gasped again.

"What's wrong?" Malice asked, supporting her as she staggered.

"It just... I didn't expect any of that..." She said, regaining control over herself.

/Cy and BB/

BB, Cy, and Sgt. Kelly watched as Malice and Raven crossed the surface of Mars.

"We don't have cameras in the Old Comm Facility. So we can only assume what happens in there." Sgt. Kelly said to Cy and BB.

"Why was Raven freaking out like that?" BB asked.

Sgt. Kelly smiled. "Your first trip across Mars can do that."

/Malice and Raven/

Having reached the scientist, they finally comfirmed Raven's suspiscion.

"No, please, you have to let me send this transmission. You don't know what I've seen!" He was talking fast, almost too fast to be understood. "I-I can't explain it... the devil... is real."

"Okay, send it, and let's go." Malice said. But then the monitors showed explosions coming from Delta Labs.

"I-it's happening!" The scientist said, his voice raised. he tried to send the transmission, the lights blacked out. An eerie, echoing laugh filled the room

"Hehehehehehehehe..." A pentagram with weird symbols appeared and a head with fire around it appeared. It flew around the room, and Malice and Raven ducked. The head was not going for them, however, but the scientist. It entered him and he was turned into a zombie, who lurched toward them.

"Azareth... Metrion... Zinthos!" Raven chanted, and put her hand forward, intending to smash the zombie with anything on the wall, but nothing happened. The zombie was too close now, and Malice shot him in the head. He fell back, his brain falling out.

"What the hell happened?" Raven asked. "My powers... why don't they work?"

"Hell's interference must have something to do with it." A door opened behind him, and he get shot by a pistol. As Malice turned to shot the zombie, Raven unloaded a clip into the zombie, and he died, his blood splattering the area around him. His eyes glowed white, even in death.

"Now, how do you reload?" She asked.

"Like this..." He replied, and showed her how to reload. Then Sgt. Kelly's voice came over their Comm Units.

"All marines, fall back to Marine HQ. I repeat, fall back to Marine HQ. We are being assailed by an unknown enemy."

With their order, Raven and Malice went through the door into the corridor for the elevator shaft to get down into the Garage, to get back to Marine HQ. They encountered no zombies, but a panel flew up, scaring them. They reached the elevator without trouble, and went down into the Garage, and then to the airlock. When they depressurized the airlock, that eerie laugh sounded again, reminding them this was only the beginning.

"Hehehehehehehehehehe..."
