Knee Deep in the Dead
Disclaimers: The games are not mine, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to the games and movie companies.
Warning: This is going to rotate between Reaper and Fly's thoughts of what went on in the first book installment to the game series and Reaper's sister is going to be involved in it. As the covers the game itself it's jumping over the narratative in the book of getting from section to section of the base. As with three it's less likely to get dangerous and they've got each other's backs.
As it's going to cover the entire doom series, from Ultimate Doom to Final Doom. The two characters of the second book will come in, but the focus will be on the quartet. With this being a slightly gruesome video game, it's going to be for teenagers fifteen and older and adults for the usual violence and profanity, and now on with the show.
Chapter 4: Key Locks, Ambushes And Colored Keys
Fly's POV:
"Uh guys, if this monster is just the beginning, we could be looking at a bigger zoo then we think right now." Reaper told me and Sam and we both nodded in agreement to that.. "Yeah and we just found the first, stick together right now, and nobody go wandering off right now." she said and I nodded in agreement. "Alright here we go now, I'll do this." Reaper said and I nodded as he took a fast jump, grabbed it and reached the stair case then.
As she and I moved to him as he passed it to her and she put it on. "We got two of these guys, we're going to the next level down." she said and I nodded as I activated the door, and we saw we were at the next one, as we did a careful circuit and she motioned to me and to a lift. As he had his back to her to defend the exit that way and I headed up and found a shotgun and fifty shotgun shells and smiled.
As I quickly loaded the gun and cocked it to let them know and I knew he smiled at that as he fired twice and took out two zombies, before I took aim at a barrel and fired, and with the blast I saw blood flying all over the place and nodded. "Sniper over there, nice way to pick them off now that we know this stuff is like nitro." he said and I nodded with a smile as we took a look over there and we found another cache then.
"Arlene if you're the one doing this, thanks for the help, but it's hard enough staying alive without leaving supplies for us to round up." she said and I hid a chuckle to that remark. "One door in red, the other a blank, we go this way." he said and I nodded in agreement then, as she activated the door and we took aim at the same time and took out the next ambush then.
"Yeesh, these bottles of alien energy drinks are all over the place." Reaper said and I nodded. "Only take those if we need to, but we got to find that key right now." she said and I nodded as I refocused and then realized it. "Two doors, on two ends, one of them has to be an ambush, use the other door." I said and he nodded. "We come at them from both ends and then shoot." she said and I nodded to the idea.
"Sam, you're with me." he said and she nodded to him as I took one door and heard the blast and knew he shot the sniper standing on his door as we both came up and I fired on the second as I turned and saw the key and smiled. "Got the key right now, red door and red key." I said and she nodded smiling then. "Well we better shoot the next one and activate the next trap." Reaper said and I nodded as I realized it then.
"Wait a damn second, our next one has to be close to ending up with some sort of trap, they know we're here. But they know that we're smarter then their last few targets, but what if they're treating your company like puppets and the imps are directing them?" she asked and I nodded. "Whoever the mastermind of this invasion is, is testing us right now, so we're going to beat him by playing it smart." Reaper and I nodded in agreement as I put the key in.
And Reaper took aim at the sniper at the end of the hallway and blew the barrel as I saw another explosion and nodded as I looked around the corner. And saw a pool of toxin and took a flying leap to the podium standing in the middle of the room and activated the switch, and grabbed the box of ammo. Before leaping back and turned to see what the switch activated and saw a dark hall that branched off in three directions then.
"Aw shit, we just hit a maze here, alright stick together and get ready to fire when you see something moving. Sam stay between us, I got point, Fly you got our six." he said and I nodded to him as I turned on my NVG's then as I carefully looked around the hall and took out 6, before I looked at the panel and nodded, as I took aim and fired and smiled as I heard a growl and took out the next imp then.
"Whoever wasn't paying attention to this left behind another backpack, I'll carry the ammo you got the job of taking them out." she said and we nodded as stashed all the ammo we collected after we checked the bag. "Whoa, why is there a power cell in this bag and with it a rocket or two?" I asked and she thought it over. "I think that was a message right now, the stronger the monster and the more firepower here." she said and I nodded in agreement.
"Well after we do this, we round up all the ammo in here and see what else we can dig up, the ammo, more energy drinks, and more water. To keep up us going until we take a break right now, but we need food right now before we take a break right now guys." she said and I nodded in agreement to that. "You better carry the medical kits as well." I said to her and she nodded in agreement to that.
"God this is going to take hours to clear this level, as we're rounding up as much as as we can in food and medical supplies as we find two more bags." Reaper said and she nodded to that in agreement. "Well this is not like trying to deal with Olduvai though at least, you're jumping from one chamber to the next. This is dealing with killing off the enemy as we take a break between stops to eat and rest." she said and I nodded to that remark gently.
"Yeah so we do this level by level, but if this tells me anything our big demon like monster is on the next level down and we're killing his predecessor here." I said to that and he nodded in agreement. As I slowly moved up behind them, and then fired at the barrel and that did it as I saw another spiny round the corner and I blasted him, before looking at the door, and fired at it then.
"Yeah that's what I thought, that was a trick door, round up the blue bottles, but leave the armor, and get the ammo." she said and I nodded as we started moving up and I looked around the corner then. "Aw shit, ambush, two zombies here and they're guarding the chainsaw, there has to be another spiny here." I said and he nodded in agreement, as he took aim at the barrel and I heard a pain snort and a thunk and knew the blast nailed it.
"Great I think we got another problem here right now, because if the next level is just as bad as this, we're just asking for trouble right now in this case." he said as she covered us from behind then. "Guys, I think they're covering all kinds of supplies, from the key cards to the weapons, ammo, food and water right now." she told me and I nodded in agreement to that remark.
"The next level down or two levels down as we see thing this face to face, by taking an alternate exit right now. Though if Arlene says this the way I thinking it then hearing these things is worse then seeing it right now, but this thing, that spiny, looks like our interpretation. And to the demons on the horror movies, more along the lines of what Goat transformed into." Reaper said to that and I nodded to that remark.
As we went down and I scanned the area, found a switch and the chainsaw came down as Reaper checked the access hatch next to the window then. As I turned to him then. "All clear, there was only one cross-fire situation here, so we may have couple more as we do this. But park it next to the exit, so we can check again as there might be another set of blue armor down there." he told me and I nodded to the news then as we exchanged looks.
"Yeah good idea, as we grab all the ammo, the blue bottles, as you look like you don't need them, but he and I do right now. But if this is not like our situation on Mars, we have even bigger battle, but who the hell opened the gates, as this is like what Carmack pulled here. But the stupid idiot wasn't kidding, we're standing on the threshold of discovery, and some idiot just let these things in." she said and I nodded to that remark in agreement then.
"If you mean Sarge, you got that right, but this is we're not letting hell end up on earth right now." he said and I nodded to that remark. "Whoever did it has to be some technician, but at least we're not alone, we make it out alive, we just find Arlene and other survivors right now." I said to him at that remark. "Yeah, but nobody do anything stupid, just relax." she said and I nodded as we traced the corridor, and rounded up everything we needed then.
Before heading for the hall that was next to that window we found, saw two more bottles then, and I saw a box of shotgun shells and nodded. "It's a trap." she said and I nodded. "Ambush, step on that lift and we end up in ambush like the last three right now. Get ready to fire the second we take it guys, on the count of three." Reaper said and I nodded as bordered it, and I cocked my gun as we went down and I fired on the spiny.
As he took the zombie and she smiled as she pointed out to the armor and I nodded and put it on then. "We're close, this must be the end of the line right now, after we open this door, and kill whoever is at the exit right now." I said and she nodded as we slowly went down and hit the door that had a gold square in the middle and saw two more of my company as we shot them both as they guarded the exit, that had a red switch then.
And I knew this was the door to the next level down as we stopped for a bit. "Ammo check right now." I said and he nodded as we doubled checked. "Alright 80 rounds for the shot gun, 400 for the SIGCOW, and the chainsaw. Yeah that's a good start right now, we just got to get the next weapon up on the next level as the stronger the monster and the more ammo it takes to take them." he said and I nodded to that in agreement.
"Hopefully there is some more water bottles or canteens as we do this at the moment, because the next one may leave another shotgun and a few shotgun shells." she said and he nodded in agreement to that remark then at the news. "Alright guys, we better take a break, and I need to see to that laceration on your arm brother." he said and I nodded as he carefully wrapped my arm and then gave me a fast dose of antibiotics then.
As we exchanged looks then. "Two levels down and possibly six more to go, till we find the leader of this portion of the invasion." I said and he nodded in agreement to that. "This is getting ridiculous at the moment, if it's just us now, then we can deal with the kill and deal with the loss of our company at another time." she said and he nodded as we looked at the picture of us, Arlene and our company at a get together on earth before the mission.
And to the Middle East, before Weems lost it the week before then. "We're going to be okay, but if Dodds is dead, if she has to be the one to shoot, then don't bring it up again." she said and I nodded. "Yeah I know, but this is neither the time nor place for letting that time or our feelings get in the way of what we have to do here. Though what I will say after two levels, we need to take a break before we go to the next right now." I said and they nodded to that.
Seeing what was in the bag, I found a few dozen energy bars then and broke out six as we each got a recharge. "Anybody need a energy drink?" she asked and I nodded and she passed me one of the bottles as I drank it, as he removed his helmet and I settled in as I turned to the door behind us. As she wrote the report. "Better go as we clear each level as we get what we need and leave a message for anyone coming in after us." I said and they nodded to me then.
"So what do you reckon in names guys, as we know what zombies are, but what about that spiny?" she asked and I smiled. "Nice nickname right right now Sis, but that's not a good name in case they make it to earth, so how about the name we read up in class." he said and I nodded. "Yeah good idea, so it's an imp now, so imps and zombies, who's next with this?" I asked and she sighed, before she could answer I saw a picture of some creature.
"What is that thing?" she asked and I shook my head as I tried to control my stomach. "I don't know, but if this is anything, this could mean that we could encounter the head and not the entire thing on that monster right now. Though I hope I'm wrong, we encountered one that shoots things at us, hopefully we don't find anymore right now." he said shaking and I nodded. "Me too man, me too." I said and we exchanged looks then.
"I think I've seen that monster before, but it was on another game, this looks like the head of that thing." she said and I nodded in agreement then. "If it is, he's possibly on Deimos, though he is and we've got a big problem right now, because the zoo is about to get out of hand. In the naming game right now for these things." he said to that and I nodded as we ended the conversation as we waited to see what we were about to face next.
As we put our initials on the wall next to the switch to point our way out and activated the switch to get downstairs as we waited to see what was coming next...
And that's chapter 4, as this continues this is going to alternate between the book and the game, as this next level involved is going to have the first view of the blue orbs, and start adding to the keys as the story continues now. As they also get their first look at the demons on this level after jumping from this level to the next as they find another exit, instead of the main one.
That takes them to the bonus level as they see the cache of weapons, and the demons and their invisible counterparts now...
