A city dead for ten years, untouched and habited by the demons that once came here and slaughtered everyone that once lived here. This here was the first city to fall to the demons, the first outbreak and the failure of the UAC on Earth. The demons that attacked the UAC came here; continue their onslaught of genocidal rampage across the whole world, killing everything and everyone that they found.
The Doom Slayer will come forth into this city, walking through the destroyed and covered streets, holding his handgun on his left hand while holding his shotgun on the right, leaning it on his right shoulder as he walks right in. Seeing the whole city is completely dead, no sound or any sign of anyone around but he can be sure that there is demons lurking within the shadows while the sun shines over this city. He can already tell that he is not alone, feeling the demon presence nearby, not know that there is actually a human hiding in the shadows.
While he continues walking out in the open, waiting for at least one of the demons to make their move. One of the demons would make a move on Doom when he stops and lowers his shotgun when feeling the presence of a Pinky demon coming around the corner, placing his handgun away so he could hold the shotgun in two hands then waits for Pinky to come forth. Once it does, he discovers this Pinky demon is far bigger than the one he faced on Mars; this demon was three times bigger than the previous ones on Mars, seeing the colour of it changing to a darker type.
Pinky looks over to Doom, letting off a roar and starts moving to the side while staring towards him, also getting Doom to move to the side with his shotgun ready. He soon started running while shooting his shotgun at it, getting Pinky to pursue after him while he runs to the side. He stops shooting after firing four shells through Pinky, getting him to look forward and make a jump up into the building in front of him, getting up there and looking back while Pinky does the same thing. It jumps up there but failed due to its weight, causing the bottom to crack and fall apart from its weight, causing Doom to move backwards and watches as Pinky collapses onto the ground with the rubble falling on top of it.
Doom takes a step back, feeling a crack all the sudden, the floor could not hold him as well and sends him falling down through the floor, falling down underground, probably crashing into an underground parking lot underneath this building. He crashes hard onto the ground, feeling the rubble from above crashing on top of him, getting him to roll out of the way to avoid more rubble but in the end when he got up he took a hard rock on the head, not really feeling it but didn't care.
This also became a problem when Pinky comes back, charging through the narrow way that will bring it into the parking lot, continuing the hunt for Doom while he backs away. He was not going to run away from this, so he started firing off three more shells with his shotgun when moving backwards to draw it into a small area.
Very soon, when that demon comes at him, he suddenly felt a bullet zooming past the side of his head and hits Pinky in the head. When Doom looks back, seeing a human all the sudden, standing there with his sniper rifle aiming towards the demon. When Doom looks back at Pinky, it got a hold of him and tackled him to the ground, trying to bite his legs off while he struggles and this man would jump in yet again, firing a second time to get Pinky to look at the sniper. Doom grabbed a hold on one of the teeth, pulling a sharp tooth out of the mouth and when Pinky looks down at Doom, he impaled it through one of the eyes to weaken it.
"Marine!" The man shouts to him when Doom got up off the ground, he would throw a weapon towards Doom when he looks over to him.
Doom got a look at what the weapon he threw towards him, underneath that helmet of his, his eyes widen when he got a glimpse of an old friend. He grabbed that weapon and turned towards Pinky when it got closer, it opened its mouth to try to bite him and when he aimed that gun towards the mouth, he fired, point blank, through the mouth and blasting through the top of the head. Pinky raised its head up when feeling that blast, after that it collapses right onto the ground in front of Doom while he stands there looking at the dead Pinky then examines his old friend, the double barrel shotgun.
The man with the rifle walks closer while Pinky eventually disintegrates in flames until there was no trace of it. He stood there looking at Doom, appearing in his late forties and wears a dark leather pants and a greyish shirt, covering his shirt was a darker brownish jacket with its right sleeve arm removed and replaced with black armour that shows a UAC emblem on the top arm. He had no hair but shows he has a beard, also having his green eyes covered in his dark glasses. He was arm with a sniper rifle that he just placed on his back and two handguns on both sides of his waist.
"Well, well… Get a good look at you. The names Randall… And I have been waiting a long time to see you…"
Doom lowered the double barrel and soon lends it back to him after using it; Randall simply shakes his head, allowing him to keep it. "You seem to be fond with that weapon; you can keep it because I have no use of a gun like that." Randall said when he turn back "And by the way… I know why you are here. If you want to know more, you should come with me." He then walks away, making his way to the stairway while Doom stood there for the moment.
Doom looks back then looks down and picks up his shotgun before deciding to go after this man, seeing what he knows so that he can figure out just what happen here. He place his shotgun away, holds onto the double barrel, following this man up the steps, and notices he will keep going up until he reaches the top of this building.
Randall talks to Doom while they go up the stairway just to remove this awkward silence. "I know you got a lot of things to say, I can help you with that." Randall said "I told you that I know why you are here, you're here to put the world back together again. To be honest, I do not think there is a world to save, seeing that these monsters are all over the world… You know this, you saw that Guardian outside. I also know that you came from that old UAC facility; you were that blue lightning I saw that hit the facility outside of dead city. That was you."
The two makes their way to the top, reaching to the roof but it does not look like they were standing on the top roof, seeing that there is still walls still intact as if the top was ripped apart while the bottom part of this building was still intact. Randall would walk all the way to the edge, getting a good look at the city and asking Doom to come over, to see what he is actually seeing.
"Welcome to Hell." Randall said when looking out into the wide view of dead city "This place was once occupied with four hundred thousand people… Now there all dead…" He shakes his head when he looks down for the moment then back up "This place was the first, the first place to be in contact with the demons and they never saw it coming."
Doom stands next to him and looks out at the view, seeing no word to him, simply watches this city stay in silence and calm while the soft wind blows through here. "This city was the first but it didn't end there." Randall said "Soon, all cities fell to this unknown power, bringing demons into this world and causing an all-out apocalypse…. It was all thanks to the UAC." He looks to Doom and noticed he looks back to him when he said the UAC "You know them don't you? I was right after all; you are a survivor of the Mars incident. You already know what happened on Mars right. Everyone was dead except for the leader of the UAC, Samuel Hayden. Leader of the UAC on Earth."
Randall looks back out at the view "I might as well tell you at the start, how it all began….I'll try to tell you what I know, what others have told me who have survived that day." He sighs a bit before telling him "I don't know much of how it all began, all I know is that after the whole Mars incident, Samuel Hayden said he will continue the work continue on creating Argent Energy. One year later, everything went straight to hell… The facility got destroyed, the whole city got overrun and four months later, everything around the world went straight to hell."
"The UAC went into dark four years later after the incident occurred… They came back and they became this sort of authority to the survivors, trying to plan ways of defeating the demons and taking back some territories. The UAC has done some good jobs but I still do not trust them. I was once part of the UAC, in the end I defected them and joined the survivors out here." He looks to Doom, seeing him looking down at his armguard "Oh yeah… Well this is what is left of my armour."
"One more thing…" He turns his body to face him "The only reason why I know you is simple… I saw you fighting all of those demons on Mars. I found the lost videos from Mars; Samuel Hayden got his hands on them and kept it to himself. You were in every video, killing demons after demons after demons. You are the Doom Slayer that they say you are, and you probably the world's last hope of defeating the demons…"
Soon he turns his head to the right and takes out advance binoculars, using a zoom in to zoom all the way far than what normal binoculars can do, zooming towards a car of his. "If we make it to that car, maybe I can take you back to town. All the boys would be glad to have someone like you on our side." He looks back to Doom "I can take you where you want to go, seeing as I trust you and I can pretty much tell that you trust me."
Doom looks to him, slowly nodding to him, making him lower the binoculars and turns back "That's great, we should go now before the demons shows up." He started walking off but suddenly stops, getting Doom to follow but he stops too when Randall looks back to him "There's one more thing… The UAC owns a lot of places so try not to cause trouble with them, unless you plan on going after them but I don't blame you for killing them all." He notices him nodding, making him slightly laugh as starts walking downstairs
They head back down and halfway, Randall stops so he could stock up his stuff that he brought and found here in dead city. Doom just stood nearby looking back at him, having to help with the weapons by placing a handful of guns and ammo in this large bag while he goes in another room, picking up the supplies. Randall was placing a lot of cans and drinks in this large bag while Doom was placing an AK-47, two machetes, one Desert Eagle handgun, and a Remington 870 shotgun but modified then finally an M79 grenade launcher.
Randall was close of placing everything into the bag, soon to stop when he suddenly heard a noise coming from nearby in the room. He would lower his hands to grab his two handguns on his waist, slowly turning his head to the side when he started to see a Pinky demon close by, it was invisible and a smaller one, hearing it breathing and sniffing around to catch his scent.
"Oh shit…."
Randall drew out both guns and fired while Pinky charge towards him, firing only two rounds before rolling out of the way while Pinky runs past him, smashing through the wall and getting into the room where Doom is. Doom notices Pinky and aims his double barrel at it, firing through the face of Pinky removing a chunk of its face.
"The demons!" Randall got up off the ground, holding his guns out "They know we are here…." He looks behind him, seeing some Imps climbing up into the room, getting him to start firing through their heads before they could attack him.
Doom grabbed one of the AKs and went into the other room to past it to Randall, after that he looks back and spots another Pinky that just punched through the wall. He aims his double barrel to kill that one, when he reloads he switches to the combat shotgun and started shooting at the other demons.
Randall backs away and keeps firing. "This area is too small… We need to get out of here now!"
Doom looks around a gets a look at the Hell Knight that was climbing up here, getting him to charge towards it and tackles it down off the building. Both of them falls back down and crashes hard back onto the ground while Randall retreats, continues firing off rounds at the demons inside the building and tries to get the bags. With Doom on the ground, many of the demons jumps off the building to take him out first, not allowing him to return up there.
Doom stomps on the Hell Knight while he still stood on top of it, switching to a shotgun and started firing shells through the Imps as they go around throwing fireballs at him. After killing four of the Imps, he aimed his shotgun with one hand towards a possessed humanoid, causing it to grab his shotgun but Doom switches to a double barrel and shot through the head of it to let go. He lowered his double barrel and aimed his shotgun at another, blowing an Imps head off.
He looks back up when he heard a massive explosion going off in the same room where Randall is. He stayed down there until he looks forward, seeing him coming out of the building with the two bags full of guns and food. Seeing he is still all right but his arm and the top of his head is bleeding out, taking a hit twice with a fireball.
"I'm fine…" Randall said then throws the bag of guns at Doom, getting him to catch it "We got to go… If we stay here at midnight then all the demons will come out… I'm tempted to watch you kill them all, but we can't fight here forever." He looks back towards the location where his car is "We got to move… Now."
Doom looks behind Randall and notices another Guardian coming through the wall, stopping them from moving forward as the Guardian stands between them and their car. Doom will drop the bag and gets ready, Randall notices him ready for a fight and backs away, allowing those two to fight to see how he will go against the Guardian.
Doom draws out two handguns, one is his regular gun and the other was a Desert Eagle he took from the bag. He runs towards the Guardian and started firing rounds at it while it charges at him, firing so many rounds until he switches to the grenade launcher, firing a shot at close range before he jumps out of the way, seeing the Guardian running past him but stops and looks towards him. Doom reloads the grenade launcher and fires a second time, exploding the side of the Guardian then would switch his double barrel and gets ready for a charge from the Guardian. When the Guardian charges, he fires his double barrel as close as he can get before rolling out of the way, getting the Guardian to smash against the wall, giving him time to reload.
"Bloody hell… He's more dangerous with a pack full of guns…"
Doom reloads the double barrel and quickly gets on board the Guardian while it gets out of the rubble, once he runs up on the body and gets closer to the head, he fires at close range through the top head of the Guardian with his double barrel. The Guardian fell after that, collapsing onto the ground with a hole through the head while Doom gets off the body before it disintegrates, looking over to Randall as he approaches him.
"I'm glad you're on our side…" He gives him the bag full of guns "We should go now, can't have you staying here all day long." He then walks past him and heads towards the car. With Doom following him, carrying the bag in one hand while the double barrel in the other.
The demons stopped attacking after what Doom did to the Guardian, giving them time to reach to the car, seeing an old classic Ford Mustang, having completely modified in armour all coloured in black and a red line seen in the middle. Doom opens up the trunk and places the bags in there, keeping the double barrel, the combat shotgun, a handgun and the M79 grenade launcher to himself. He closes the trunk, gets inside the car, looking to Randall in the driver's seat before closing the door. He looked around the car, seeing some interesting things like this keychain with what appears to be cannon on it. Randall was ready to go but before he did that, he looks down at a CD, seeing it has a name on the cover of it called 'E1M1'. Randall places it inside the radio before he tries to drive out of here, listening to this heavy metal that Doom doesn't know that this is 'Metallica: No Remorse' in an instrumental version of it.
"Good heavy metal right here!" Randall shouts to Doom before looking forward, changing gear and driving out of here, heading down the broken roads. "Let's go raise some hell!"
