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 6: The Unexpected Detour, Added Keys and New Weapons

Fly's POV:

After taking a break for the night we got up again and then loaded up our stuff and then activated the next terminal, before we ended up in an area that looked like it was courtyard and I nodded in shock. "Aw crap, get the rocket launcher, we're going to need it for this one." Sam said and I nodded in agreement as I quickly yanked it out of my bag as he fired on the two guys coming at us with the guns going off.

Before I heard several growls and nodded. "We got all three here, but the little bastards are all over the place in this one." I said and Reaper nodded firmly. "Alright one area at a time, if we find a third one, and I get it now, but we're going to need a recharge here. But they got to be covering several caches here, and ones that Arlene set up for us right now." he said and I nodded in agreement to his thoughts.

"Stay away from the wall and get behind me when I do this guys." I said and they nodded as we looked around the corner and saw a cage with three imps in it and I nodded. As I took aim at the middle of the bars and fired and the blast was enough to knock me into the wall. "Well that's going to have the phone ringing until our heads clear, but that's too much right now." she said shaking her head and I nodded in agreement.

"Whatever you do, don't try that twice, because I feel like I got hit in the head hard enough to give me a concussion here right now. But that was one hell of a blast right now." he added and I nodded. "Jesus right now, you think that our race who is smart enough to create helmets would be smart enough. Just to create earplugs in these helmets." I said and she answered that with a bemused smile.

"I just prefer not being that close to the damn thing when it went off." she said and he chuckled at that remark. "Yeah alright, we cleared the courtyard so we just go to each door and take them all out next." he said and I nodded in agreement to that. "Will this could be it, we could be meeting our demon's invisible counterpart right now." I said and he nodded to that remark as we carefully move forward then.

"We got four corridors, one marked as blue, so we go to the obvious choice and right ahead, and kill them one at time right now. But barrels aplenty, so this should be good." she said and we nodded in agreement to that remark then. "Yeah and do these guys expect us to walk right into an ambush right now, because if they think that, they're out of their minds." Reaper said and we nodded to that remark gently.

"Waste of ammo if we have to set one of them off by firing on them." I said firmly as we carefully moved forward and saw the first one in a lighted corridor, and knew that was the first trap as I fired on the guy and he collapsed then. Before I carefully stepped forward and it dropped as I saw three imps on platforms and fired twice on each of them and they all collapsed then.

Before I took the turbolift back up. "Nothing but some added armor and health bonuses here." I said and he nodded as we went to the door marking the yellow door and saw a familiar symbol. "The pentragram, only it's inverted as well, so this is definitely an invasion from hell, so this must be an ambush by passing through to get that rocket launcher." she said and I nodded as I decided to put that to the test at that

As I grabbed the rocket launcher, and went to the other side of the pentagram, as several imps teleported in and we both fired before they could shoot us As we went to the other room and found a spare yellow key as we blasted the gunner then and went to the first door then on the left. Before opening and saw several imps and zombies and took care of them, before moving to the next room and grabbed the red key, as it opened the door and fired on two more.

As it turned into a repeated explosions then and started getting out of hand from here as I got hit by a fireball and she shot him in response. Before I turned and saw two pinkies come running down the stairs and we quickly fired on them and took them down then as I shot the barrels next to a passage. "Jesus, this is going too far, but come on, back off you porker!" Reaper snapped as he shot them a fourth time to make sure they stayed down then.

"This is getting ridiculous right now, but come on, I knew dealing with these monsters was going to get nuts. But this took getting into monster fights just a little too far right now." she said and I nodded to that. "Yeah no kidding, but I bet that pentagram was meant to scare us, like the freakin' wall art, well we're passed being bothered by Halloween here." Reaper said for me and I nodded to that remark then.

"Want you want a bet we meet his invisible twin next?" I asked and she nodded to that. "No bet, I don't doubt we will right now, but come on, let's get the keys and the weapons and go guys." she said and we nodded in agreement as we grabbed the blue key and headed out, as I heard a snort and growl and turned to my right and saw a slightly invisible shadow come at us and fired on him as he took out the imps then.

"Yeah alright I got him, but yeah when shot they spurt blood, but he's like his pinky counterpart." she said and we nodded to her then. "One way across right now, we got to lift the ramp so we can leave." she said and we nodded. "Fly stay with her, I'll go." he said and I nodded to that as he jumped down and rounded the corner as I heard a growl followed by another and two blasts as it went quiet and then the ramp came up, before I saw wall open.

And then saw another spectre appear and quickly fired on it, as the lift next to us activated and he quickly took a look and fired then. "Well that's all of them now, but come on lets get the weapons, ammo and go." Reaper said and we nodded as I saw several pedestals and nodded. "Like jumping from rock to rock here, this is turning into repeated games right now." she said and I nodded as we took turns to gather up the weapons.

Till we had them all then returned to the next one and left at that, before we realized we were back on the way out of the base. And I unlocked the door and saw three doors one with another soul sphere, and then checked the other and saw another set of armor then. "Yeah hey guys, this one is turning into repeated ambushes right now." I said and they nodded to me gently.

"And case of barrels of fun here, with these ambushes at the moment right now." Reaper said and I nodded in agreement to that remark to that, as we ended it at that, as we went to the next level and shoved the door open and found the body of our friend, Tij Dardier then and I nodded. "Clean death, the bastards never reworked her now." Sam said and I nodded as I wiped the tears off my face then.

"Aside from Arlene, our entire company are dead." Reaper said sadly and I nodded to that. "I'm going to get you for this, whoever you are right now, this is war, I swear to god." I said with a low growl, my friends were alive, and I had to find my best friend and soon, before they did anything else. 'Lord let me survive this so I can prevent it, whatever they are, from ending up on earth.' I thought softly as we moved forward then.

"Alright we got to keep going here, come on, stick together, and we do this one room at a time." I said and they nodded as we exchanged looks at this, before we came across one and I was in shock. "Does this look familiar?" I asked and they nodded. "Some sick joker put 8 cray 9,000's into a swastika, well whoever did this, is learning things on the human genome we don't want them to know, alright smart ass."

"Whoever of you is doing that you better be ready, as we had all we can take of the symbolism in these things." she said to that sternly and I nodded in agreement to that, as I took aim at the guys on the walkway, before he rode the lift up and took out the guy that was in the blocked off area. "Never mind the armor, I can do this without it, I just need the health bonuses." he said she shook her head to that remark then.

"John, we got to replace the armor anyway as we move forward, but we need both in between stops right now. So grab it and the next soul sphere, and we save the bottles for when you and we really need them." she said and I nodded as we went to the next one then. As I took aim at the imp and blasted the barrels as I rounded the corner then quickly and saw two dead bodies then.

"Yeah alright here we go, we need the radiation suit, this one likely leads to the soul sphere, the other leads to the another lift out of the area." I said and he nodded as he pulled it on and then took it up and stepped into it and I knew he felt the full power blast of it then. Before we went the other way and I knew he was finding this funny at that. "Alright you got the labyrinth hallway, we got the room across from it." Sam said to me and I nodded to her.

"Shot on three from all three doors, so they can't get a shot off on us." I said and we separated at that as we moved to each door, I stepped on the switch and it opened as we saw four in there with a blue key and I fired as I heard several more shots and they all collapsed on that. As we went into the room. "I get the feeling the yellow is in that room, but we already got one, so we take out the stragglers, then leave." Reaper said and we nodded to that remark.

"Agreed." we said together at that and he nodded as she and he went into the other room as I searched the labyrinth I was in and saw one pinkie and three imps and took them all down as I found the yellow key, as I heard several gun shots, and they came in from the other hall as I slammed my hand on the key panel and heard a grinding noise, opened the door and saw the walkway rising and nodded. "Well that's that." I said and they nodded in relief.

"Time to go, but that makes 5 levels in 10 hours and this is getting ridiculous right now." she said and we nodded to that remark. "We better get the radiation suits, in case there is a pond of that crap." I said and they nodded as I saw several and grabbed them and stuffed them in my pack. As we activated the latch to get to the next level and saw I was right, as we each put one on and then charged across the puddle of radioactive ooze then.

"Guys, the stairs, and then go in through the other door." she said and we nodded as we saw a couple more members of our company then as took them down and looked out the window then...

And that's chapter 6, 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...
