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.

This chapter is going to give the team their first view of the soul sphere as well.

Chapter 4: Key Locks, Soul Sphere's And Ambushes

Reaper's POV:

"Get ready this next one should be good." I said and Fly nodded as I shoved the door open and found another shotgun, and with it now. A couple cartidges of shotgun shells and ammo for our SIGCOWS at that nodded as she took the spare ammo clip. As I saw something on the wall and saw in red from one of our paintsticks an arrow then.

And next to it was an A.S. that pointed out the front door and nodded with a smile as I grabbed up the gun then quickly. "Thanks Arlene, the more ammo and ordnance and the better." I said and he chuckled, as she carefully activated the door, and as I heard a grunt and a gun going off, and I took aim at the area that came from and blew the barrel.

Before Fly did the same and we took the trio out, as I double checked and nodded as we went left, and I killed the next one, before I blew the barrel and saw a box with a red cross and nodded and knew that was the first aid kits that we were going to need. As this continued with the amount of injuries taking from these guys right now.

And as we pushed forward then quickly killing them both at once then as I saw a box of ammo and nodded and loaded up then, before turning and saw it. "Whoa, that's the same tinge as the alien energy drinks." she said and I nodded as I said it to them. "I think it gives the entire 100% then." I said and he nodded in agreement to that.

"With my healing ability you guys get the..., that is a floating ball with a face on it, so..., soul spheres, you get the soul spheres you two. But we got a red key and we just have to get the other two, to get off this floor now. And with it carry the keys around with us till we need them now for this." I said and he nodded in agreement then to that.

"Yeah we hang onto the keys, so every time we need a full recharge, hit these things if they're on every floor." Sam said and he nodded in agreement. "Yeah good idea, hopefully she left us a cache loaded with food next, because we all need a recharge. And after a fast snack a but ago at the curren moment." I said as I turned at that remark.

And checked the other door as I heard a hiss and growl and turned to Fly. "Imp" I mouthed and he nodded as he slowly walked down and fired before it could shoot back at that. Before I turned and took aim at another of our company, before he could get the drop on me, as I activated the door and he hit the turbolift at that quickly.

And grabbed what was up there as we went back up and then heard another hiss and killed another, as he turned and blasted the other, as we thought it over. And nodded, as I said it then. "These are timed sensor doors, go to slowly we blow our chance at getting inside to see where they lead, so a mad dash is the only way right now, Sam, Fly."

"Back up, and make a run to get to the trap doors." I said and they nodded as we backed up as I heard something activate and I charged at the door that opened into the hall as he followed me in. Before I heard another hiss and blasted the next imp as we went rounded up the bottles, and ammo, till I looked up and saw a blue light and smiled.

And as I saw a the switch and turned it on then and it came down and she went first then watching as the ball blew up on her, she glowed blue for a few second and then smiled. "You're going to get one heck of jolt from this thing, Fly, I'm double normal full strength, and this is going to help later right now." she said and we nodded as we left that hall."

And headed for the other at a dead run as we arrived at a panel and opened that door as well as we grabbed it and then shook my head. "If there is another pack, then it's buried in there, so not worth it, come on, let's go." I said and he nodded in agreement as I didn't see radiation suit, then, as we were surrounded by a pond of poison then

And as we both fired at the same time as I saw a rocket launcher then and smiled. "There's the next one right now, but save that in reserve, till we need it, but we kill these guys by using the next one and these." I said and he nodded as we left. "Wait, there has to be a hidden door to the next level that we never checked, but if there is, John."

"Then that gets us something else." she said and I nodded. "Alright I'll do it, stay here." I said and they nodded as he grabbed the rockets as I quickly ran through the tunnel, saw another of our packs, grabbed it and then hit the switch and nodded in relief. As I moved back to them. 'Yeah she left the bag for us." I said and she nodded as he pulled it on.

Climbing back up, we checked the area, and then I smiled at the box set up as I saw some more ammo and a yellow key card then, as that cleared things. We headed out and went up the path and I looked at a window overlooking something and shook my head. "Just what do these guys take us for, a complete idiot right now, that's a trap now."

"So we're not checking that or we get blasted." she said and I nodded as he hid a chuckle to that as I opened the door and blasted the imp, and just behind him was another soldier as we both rounded the corner, as he was covering us. I took aim at the trio at the other end and killed them, as I saw a fourth at some sort of look out point then.

And checked the other and nodded and as I looked down and a switch and platform and nodded. "Turbolift, I got this." I said and she nodded as I jumped in and activated it, as she crouched behind him at that. As I saw the puddle disappear as we walked across after I got back to them as we headed for the other door, and I carefully turned.

And saw a zombie with a shotgun and sighed. "Hanson and a few other members of our company that had the shotguns also got zombified." I said and they nodded. "Great, we end up with a ton of functioning weapons by killing our company this way. But if this how you felt after killing Goat, I get it now." he said in annoyance at that news then firmly.

"Yeah no joke right now, but I think all the blue marked ones are the power ups, to make us stronger here. But that's true then the aliens that ran the civilization before Lucy and her people found them are the ones. That leaving the soul spheres and the blue bottles. So they're giving me a way to boost my energy levels with C-24 added to it now."

"Guys, you two and Arlene get the spheres, I'll take the alien energy drinks, I don't need as much of a boost as you do. But after this next level, we take a break in case that switch I turned on jumps one level and takes us to an unmarked area of the base. You remember the holding cell that Goat and Portman found?" I asked and she nodded to me.

"Yeah and Arlene probably knows we're alive and coming in after her, so she's keeping us alive by laying the trail for us as we go and do it her way." Sam said and I nodded. "Stick to her trail, if she's pointing out the way for us, but I bet this one. This is going to be an attempted ambush, you grab the key, if there is one and I'll cover you, Reap'."

"But two bags twice as much ammo, as well as food and water, you get the next pack." he told me and I nodded in agreement to that as we carefully checked the hall. "Yeah ambush situation, they're waiting for us to see the key and then shoot." I whispered and she nodded as she signaled carefully and I nodded as I edged along the wall to look.

As I carefully rounded the corner, and saw two more soldiers, this time with the logo UAC on their uniform jackets as I shot them both, grabbed it and the lights went out. As I heard something open and a growl and we both fired at the same time. "Another imp, can you bloody bastards take a hint already, jeesh." she said and I hid a chuckle to that.

"Come on, I hate the dark after ending up in the sewer on Olduvai." I said and she nodded as she stayed behind me as he covered us as we got into the light then. "Guys stay in the middle as there's no switch to get back up here." she said and we nodded. As I checked her pack and saw a rope amd smiled ad I answered her then gently.

"Maybe not, but we got a rope in this bag, Arlene is supplying us with everything we need." I said and she nodded smiling in relief then as we went the other way and checked something else as we left that room. And before I saw a path across the pit and nodded as she and I exchanged looks as I said it then firmly at that reveal.

"Two ways out, this one goes through that wall, the other is a blue door now, we check that one and take the emergency exit if this means we see the next size up in monsters. Before we see more of these guys in the imps, but we now got frequent imps and zombies so what's next exactly." I said and she nodded as he hid a smile then.

"Yeah good point, but better get going right now." Fly told me and I nodded to that as we went to the blue door and opened it, as we saw another ambush. And I fired at the guy in front of me as I heard a growl and Fly shot the spiny across from us at that. "That panel is different colored then the other wall, trick door." Sam told me and I nodded to her.

As I hit the switch to activate it and took aim at the imp that was just above me then as I fired twice and he fell from the platform. "Nice landing lame brain, sure you're smart, but when are you going to learn to go on stealth. And not make a sound to alert us you're close by now." I said under my breath to it as I looked up the hall it was covering then.

"That remark really necessary John?" she asked and I hid a chuckle to that remark. "That must some sort of a trap, or a hidden cache she set up right now." I said and they nodded. "Well let's find out." he said and I nodded as I carefully went up the stairs and checked the next set, as I saw another chainsaw and then went up the stairs and smiled.

"Hey guys found the yellow door here." I said and they nodded to me in relief then as I took the key and opened it, before going up another flight of stairs and nodded smiling as I saw both: another soul sphere and another pair of blue armor. "Hey Fly, here's your double charge, I found another one of both." I said and he nodded in relief to the news.

And as he put the armor on and then stepped into the sphere as it put him at full power. Before we rounded up the added supplies, and I saw a cache marking field rations and nodded as we loaded them into the bags. And along with my energy drinks, before we took out the ambush in the next hall as I took aim at the barrel to kill the imps.

Before we fired on the zombies scattered around the room and nodded. "Main door, so if we go out this way, we end up on some sort of route that takes us directly. And to the next portion and of the base, we take the other and see what our mystery monster is. And before we get attacked by him early." she said and we nodded in agreement to that.

"I want to see this thing, before we see it's invisible counterpart, if there is one right now." I said and he nodded in agreement. "Then we take the other door right now." he said and we nodded as that ended the conversation at that and as we left the hall then. And headed out of the room and went to the surprise exit then at that firmly.

Opening the door I saw the entire sniper effect and we took them all out, before I quickly stepped back and a door opened then. As I saw another imp and right behind it was a pink monster that looked like Pinkie before he lost his legs and nodded. As I shot the imp and we both fired at the thing and two shots was enough to slow it down and nodded.

And before the third took it down and I nodded as I fired a fourth time, and then, and using the chainsaw, cut it's legs off. So it couldn't attack us as we got closer to get a good look. "Sam does this thing look familiar to you, as we both remember what Pinkie looked like after getting changed himself?" I asked and she nodded in disgust at it then.

"Uhhg, this sounded like a pig when it exited, but pink and heavily muscled, yeah that's our demon alright, and she's going to agree with me when I say this. But we need a machine gun or a rocket to kill this one." she said and I nodded in agreement to that. "Or just double the fire power for this thing, but more then one, and if, like the others."

"They're susceptible to the barrels and the said, now, are all over the room shoot one and they go in a chain reaction right now, so that helps in killing them if there is more then one. Alright that's three, lock the door we stay here for now, until we leave the room." I said and she nodded as she slammed her hand on the switch and I blew the lock on it.

"Well there's our secure quarters for the night right now, but a hidden room with the exit right now to us. but we better check to see if there is another trap door here." she said and he chuckled at that remark as he did it and pressed the wall next to the switch. And after a minute came back down with another box of rockets as he answered her then.

"I never would have thought of that right now." Fly said and I hid smile then. "Yeah, but you better check this out, she left a few sleeping bags next to the door for us." I said and she started laughing at that remark and they nodded smiling as she answered him. "Yeah that's Arlene for you, leaving us a way to take care of ourselves until we get to her."

"But I hope she's fine right now." she said and he nodded in agreement to that as I passed him a MRE, as I pulled another out and gave it to her then. As I opened another for myself as I checked what I grabbed and smiled at my selection then quickly. Seeing it was my favorite one of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables then.

'Thanks Sis.' I thought to her as I went over what we saw. "Alright, so that's three, if there is an invisible version to this thing now, we can call it a spectre now. So next question is whether or not, now that they have attributes of their own. Or if they share them with this thing now." I said and she nodded as he checked around the corner.

"Yeah that's an understatement, but I found a secondary exit here guys, we seen three so far, so there has to be a few more. One is possibly an invisible version to this and the last for this base is a couple somethings, if there is more then one. Of what could be considered as our version to the devil when he became the devil after he changed."

"So with that, we take a break after two more levels and if one of us ended up getting slimed, we need to deal with any injuries we have." Fly said and she and I nodded in agreement to his thoughts as she said it. "With us down for a few hours, we're taking a ten hour break and then continue on here at the moment, we been on the go here."

"For 8 hours straight, so we leave after we all had a chance to rest right now." she said and we nodded in agreement to that as we settled in as we waited to see. In what the next level passed us then and praying that we found our friend, and before. Noe we found anything else that would do further damage now as we settled in at that...

And that's chapter 5, 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.

This next chapter is going to have them running surveys of the entire level, before they make their next discovery at the moment of seeing their first demon when find several secret spots on this level now

That takes them to the bonus level as they see the cache of weapons, and the demons and their invisible counterparts now...
