Now before I start I really hope people are not being rude to Ferox Pretorius. I simply wanted to address his concerns with my story. I was not bashing him in any way, and if it came across that way I apologize. Once more I have a twitter if you want to send any story requests or idea. Final SD, Final_FG. Now enjoy.
Hundreds of bullets flew out of the complex as dozens and dozens of Argent energy blasts slammed into the metal walls of the building. An imp jumped at a window and got a hole blasted through its chest from Fredrick's shotgun. Kelly unload shot after shot into a Hell Razor's chest, stunning the demon but it just seemed to shake it off and continue firing blasts at her opening. Linda shot out and blew off the same Hell Razors skull, and just like that three more imps came into the same line of shot. Two of which threw argent energy at the complex as well. Master Chief took cover to reload again and popped back out to shoot at one of the Hell Razors with another Marine's line of fire and the rapid barrage of bullets tore through its flesh and left a decent sized hole in its chest that had it collapse to the ground. But just at it hit the ground another Hell Razor step over it and shot into the opening and nailing Master Chief in the shoulder and destroy part of his shields.
"We are in a barrel!" One of the Marine's yelled.
"They aren't even phased when they see one of their allies die." Linda observed as she loaded on of her last clip for her sniper rifle. Another portal tore open and a large pitch black leg step out with the rest of its body following. A demon the same height as the Spartans came out, with no eyes and once again no real ability to tell if it had organs or not.
"Hell Knight." Vega clarified. Its mouth opened up slightly and it growled low and loud.
"We need more room." Fredrick called out. "John, with me."
The two of them jumped out from different windows and Fredrick ran towards the Hell Knight as it ran at him as well. Fredrick unload several shots from his rifle it his chest, black blood spurting out from the holes, but not slowing it down that much. He switched back to his shotgun again and just as he did the Hell Knight leaped through the air at him. Fredrick's eyes went wide as he jumped off to the right as it slammed into the ground where he was standing. He aimed at it but it was already at him and swinging its arm at him. Slamming into the side of his torso and knocking him back several feet and almost breaking his shields. John unloaded half a clip of his rifle into the side of the Hell Knight. As it turned towards John Fredrick blasted its head off with his shotgun before slamming the stock of his shotgun into the head of a leaping imp and stomping on its chest before blowing off its head.
John strafed to the side while unload more shots into a Hell Razor, pieces of its white flesh plating breaking off before the bullets finally dug through and cut through its chest. John lifted up his magnum and blew a hole tough the opening he created and the demon hit the ground. John pointed to his left with the magnum and pulled the trigger six times into the head of an imp before reloading his rifle and dodging another blast from a Razor. He went behind one of the metal supply cases to finish reloading. An imp leaped down from him and grabbed onto his armor. John swung his left arm into its chest and smashed it into the metal box he was using as cover. He slammed his elbow and forearm into it five times as it indented into the box more and more. He and Fredrick got closer and almost put their backs together.
"You can't stop moving with these things." Fredrick said as he reloaded his shotgun "Last clip for me."
"Same." Master Chief replied.
He kicked up an elite's rifle as he put his own rifle on his back and cut off the leg of an imp as it rushed him. A sudden yank pulled him away as a massive energy blast was sent over the two Spartans. John looked up and found a big fat demon standing not 30 meters away with energy cannons for hands and only one eye. A short demon that looked like to be 80% face began to run at the two of them as they were stunned. Master Chief unloaded at its face as it charged. The platting that was its flesh absorbing the damage like nothing. Fredrick squatted down a bit as it charged at him and grabbed it by its two massive teeth that protruded from its mouth – getting pushed 3 feet back in the process – and slammed it into the ground where Master Chief tore through its softer flesh with the rifle. Fredrick stood up and shot at another Razor.
"What I wouldn't give for a Spartan laser right now." He grunted out.
On the other side of the main building The three marines cleared out a hallway. One was injured but otherwise they were alright. The DoomSlayer being the one to do most of the killing actually. But as the sounds got louder and louder outside, it made it harder to think that taking up any sort of flank would be a good idea.
"Come on guys…" The one in the front said as he turned to the other two marines. "Just cover each other and we'll-!"
As he spoke an imp tore through the metal to the side of him and was about to cut through his back a hand shot out and grabbed the Imp by the throat. The imp clawed at the arm but the metal was stronger than normal steel. Its eyes darted around rapidly as it kicked and throttled before they latched onto the helmet of the DoomSlayer. If it was frantic before, now it was terrified. Grabbing onto the arm of the DoomSlayer and pulling away from the grasp. But the hand would not open. The DoomSlayer began to twist his wrist and the imp fought harder till there was a loud snap and the imp ceased its movement.
"Th-thanks…" The front soldier said. The DoomSlayer looked back at him and pointed downwards with his empty double barrel. "Hold this hallway?"
The DoomSlayer nodded and began to walked towards the exit with the corpse of the imp. Each step echoing as he walked on the metal floor. Back towards the front John and Fredrick were being pushed back again by more of the chargers and the Hell Knights. The Marine's in the complex were also slowing down their rate of fire as they too were running low on ammo and lacked the time to pick up the Covenant arms. There was a loud crash off to the side that drew a second's attention from Fredrick and John before they focused back on the demons in front of them. But the demons they were supposedly supposed to be fighting… paused. They all looked over to where the loud sound was. So too did the Spartans for a moment as well as the Marines.
They watched as the DoomSlayer walked out of the side exit with the corpse of an imp in one hand and his double barrel shotgun in the other. A Hell Knight and a Razor were the closest ones to the doors with a Mancubus 5 meters behind them and an Imp off to the side. But yet not a single step or motion was taken towards the DoomSlayer. He stopped moving for a moment and tossed the corpse of the Imp at the feet of the Hell Knight. Then something happened…. They all took a step back. The imp, then the razor, then the Hell Knight, and then the rest of them moved back by at least a step away from him.
Not another portal opened in this silence. No other demon was coming through. Fredrick looked around at the demons and swore he saw one with a shaving jaw. He looked back over at the DoomSlayer as he opened up his double barrel shotgun and placed two shells into it. Then an Imp screamed at the DoomSlayer along with many other demons. But it wasn't a war cry. No. Fredrick heard similar screams from grunts. In that moment he knew exactly what the DoomSlayer was. The ultimate demon slayer. Not just a title. Not just a name. No. that name was a feeble attempt to understand him, and understanding something helps one defeat it. He ripped and tore them apart as he knew it was the only way to know you killed them. He constantly moved because he knew how these demons fought better than anyone else. He carried so many weapons with so much ammo as not to need to pause and look for others. He was their nightmare. John was called "demon" to the covenant. DoomSlayer had no other meaning to them. It was rage. It was blood. It was Death. And he was pissed. The only reason he stood still at this moment was to let them know who exactly they were dealing with.
"Tear'em apart." Fredrick whispered, and the DoomSlayer launched forward
