The Cultist that attacked Firebase Bravo arrives on time to alert the whole base of what is to come, knowing that the Doom Slayer is coming and will bring the apocalypse upon them all. The Cultist was inside the citadel, walking down a few hallways while there is a handful of demon warriors, Imps, Barons and Hell Knights wondering around the hallways. The Cultist ignores them for the time being as it wishes to speak to someone, making its way to the top where the Cultist could speak to someone.
The Cultist came inside this square room, showing no windows around and no light can shine in this room. The moment the Cultist came inside, the door closes shut and trigger these glowing runes to appear, showing many demon symbols over the walls and a large symbol in the center. This here is when the Cultist slowly bows when a flaming spirit came forth over the big symbol on the ground, seeing a tall flaming figure standing there and looking at the Cultist. This here must be a version of a holographic display, capable of communicating with other powerful demons from far away.
The flaming demon in the circle spoke in demon language, echoing it through the room and speaking in a dark tone. In English, the demon would say "You should have not come back here until the humans are wiped out… You have failed me."
The Cultist responds in the same language "I had to return with what I have left… He is back… The Hell Walker is back…."
The flaming demon remains silent for a moment, soon inhaling from its nose then lets a deep sighs before responding "….The Doom Slayer…"
"He is working with the humans…."
"I should have known that one day he will be free again from those chains…." The demon turns its head to the side, looking away from the Cultist "It must have been her who broke the seal."
"They could still interfere…"
The demon looks back to the Cultist "No they will not… They cannot stop us and neither can the Doom Slayer…."
"Then what should I do?"
"Do not ask such a stupid question!" The demon shouts out, causing the flames to go fierce for a moment before bringing them back down to normal "Send all of our warriors into battle, continue the attack and do not let the Doom Slayer in here."
"I won't… Master…"
The Cultist bows before the flames of this demon dies out, causing the symbols to return to black and causing the doorway behind the Cultist to open up, showing a little light through here while the Cultist stays where it is. Very soon, the Cultist takes its leave but halts when a demon stands before the Cultist, appearing in the same height as a Baron, seeing he is a different class than this Cultist. This demon wore a dark red armour, heavier than most of the demon warriors do, showing no skin, it has armour covering its whole body except for its mouth, showing sharp teeth. This demon would have no eyes due to the helmet it is wearing, it does not hold any weapon like the demon warriors but instead it has a large sword on its back.
"Bring me all the prisoners…" The Cultist spoke to the warrior in demon language again "Bring them all to me…"
Meanwhile at Firebase Bravo, most of the marines are prepare to go out to battle against the demon army for a strike back after what they done to the base and to those who died here. Some marines are offer to stay behind, watching over the wounded people while the rest of the marines will move with Major Stevenson. He will control the marines of Firebase Bravo and the aircraft that they brought, hoping that they have a chance on pushing the demons back with it.
Stevenson was looking up at the aircraft as it goes flying over their heads and goes straight out of the base. Stevenson would turn back towards one of the entrances of the bunker, seeing an eight-wheeled APC coming out of the bunker, unarmed but loaded with a large missile. The nuke is arm with Argent Energy and a strong kiloton explosive, capable of wiping out the whole base and the rift as well.
Stevenson made his way towards the vehicle when seeing two scientists discussing about the warhead, standing by its side and looking up at it as it lies on top of the APC. The scientists stop talking when seeing Stevenson approaching them, getting them to turn to face him, knowing he wants to hear the progress of the nuke.
"What do you got?"
"The warhead is ready for firing." One of them said. He takes out a tablet and shows him a simulation of what would happen if the warhead goes inside the wormhole. "When the missile goes straight inside, the Argent Energy will protect it; it will be allowed to go through the portal and will help close it. At halfway, the warhead will explode, closing the portal and causing significant damage on both sides."
The scientist hits the play button to show him the demonstration of the simulation, showing a 3D design, a picture of a tornado shape portal. The missile appears coming through from the top and reaching in the center where it will explode, a bubble where the missile was will grow so high that it will touch the ends of the tornado shape portal. The bubble would soon pop once that happens, showing the tornado to split in half and send both parts firing out on both sides.
"The explosion will spread out on both sides and annihilates the whole area." The scientist said before placing the tablet away "We only have one shot; we can't afford to miss it."
"All you have to do is clear a path for the missile to be launched, plus you would have to stop any flying demons in case they try to shoot it."
"What happens if the missile explodes on our side too early?" Stevenson asks
"It will explode of course; the blast will probably wipe out the whole army and maybe the demon base as well if it is close enough."
"Alright, get inside the APC. Once we are in range, I will give the order to fire it directly into the portal."
"Wait you want us there?"
"Of course… You built the damn thing." He turns to the side "You will be the ones to test it." He then walks off and puts on his helmet, he makes his way towards everyone else but at halfway, he communicates with someone through the radio in his helmet. "Team Wolverine, you guys ready?"
In another location far away, from where they are, another squad deployed on the ground, making their move towards a hidden area where they can take a break for now and arm themselves for the fight of their life. There's forty marines, armed with heavy ordinance and has an armoured figure standing by their side as their support and assault. This huge black and red looking figure, operated by a marine inside, just like a heavy guard but this marine kept his armour on. He was inside an exo-skeleton suit, fit with strong armour that could withstand a handful of rockets; the weapons of choice are a 50-Calibur machinegun, plasma rifle and a stack of three rockets. The right arm would hold the 50-Calibur, it is protect with a long cylinder shape to cover it up, and same thing goes to the plasma rifle that is covered on the left side, having the same length as the other one, which means the plasma rifle is in a different model. The missiles was place inside a rectangular shape, attach onto the right shoulder of the armour.
"This is Staff Sergeant Williams; we will be ready to move out in three minutes. Our big friend here…." He looks towards the large exo-skeleton armoured figure "Is having a slow time getting in position."
"Copy that." Stevenson responds "Do you got conformation on Viper Squad?"
"I made contact with Viper Squad twelve minutes ago; they should be in position by now."
"Copy that. Remember the plan; we will draw closer to the base while your two squads will cover us from the north and western wing of the battlefield."
"You don't have to tell us about it major, we all know what we are doing and we are ready to hit them with everything we got."
"Understood. Firebase Bravo will step into the battlefield in twenty minutes; make sure you are ready when the bullets go flying."
"We won't be late. Good luck out there."
"You too."
Major Stevenson will approach Travis as he came out of the bunker with a Gauss Cannon and a Super Shotgun, a combination of the combat shotgun and the double barrel, the weapon that Rhodes modified. Doom did not get his hands on it due to too many guns in his inventory; Travis would decide that if he finds Doom out there, he would give him back his gun.
"Sergeant Travis." Stevenson calls to him "Are the men ready to move?"
"Yes sir. There are several marines staying behind, they wish to watch over the wounded. I asked my corporal to stay behind so I'm all that's left of Rhino Squad."
"I see… Well you better be ready for what is to come…" He soon looks down at the double barrel "What's with that gun?"
"Oh, this?' He raise the super shotgun in front of him but aims it to the side "I thought of giving this to a marine out there." He looks back to Stevenson "A man who is on his way to siege the enemy fortress."
"One man is going to attack the enemy's base?" Stevenson laughs "No way."
"You have no idea what we all saw when we defended this base against the enemy; I'm sure this marine has already broken through their defences and is on his own, fighting against the demons."
"No way could a human go alone against the demons… I bet he won't even make it to the demons citadel."
An explosion went off from outside of the citadel, blasting through the doorway that sends two warriors collapsing onto the floor due to the mass explosion that came from outside, knocking the door right off. Doom will slowly walk through, armed with his machinegun, he notices one of the demon warriors tries to rise up off the ground, only to be stop when Doom came over and stomps its head with his foot.
A doorway opened up in front of him, seeing four Imps rushing out of the door and causing Doom to move to the side and open fire, firing through the Imps and killing them quickly before they could go running around. Doom would proceed but stops when getting closer to the door, seeing another demon warrior coming from his right, he shot the demon warrior dead with a handful of rounds through the gut and chest. He checks back at the door in front of him, proceeding through with his gun aiming forward.
Doom continues moving down the hallway, looking at the structure of the place as it feels like living back in Hell again. He keeps walking until seeing a Hell Knight coming out of a doorway up ahead on his right, getting him to shoot many rounds through the Hell Knight. Doom moves out of the way before it got too close to claw him, causing him to switch to the handgun; he fired one shot through the knee then another through the head, sending it falling onto the ground. He switches back to the machinegun and shot a few rounds at the Imps that was running into the hallway from another room as the doorway was opened up for him to see them on time.
Doom was about to proceed through but was stopped when seeing the window on his left would break through, seeing some Lost Souls coming through the room where he is. Doom aims his machinegun at them, hearing the clicking sound when running out of ammo. One of the Lost Souls screeches when charges towards him while he was checking his gun to see if it was jammed or not, deciding to quickly use his gun as a shield to block the blast and got him moving back while losing his weapon. Doom switches to his handgun and shot a few times at the others, taking the other three before they got closer to him. After they were dead, he turns his head back when seeing an Imp running towards him, getting Doom to aim his gun back, holding the gun upside down and shooting through, blasting the head off the Imp before turning his body around, deciding to go through this hallway.
Doom was getting close to a prison room where humans kept alive for torture to get information or something else, for now they are to be hold up in these cells while several demon warriors watches over them, walking around in this room. One of the demon warriors was close to the door, just when the demon was close, Doom charges right in and attacks. He rushes right in, using left hand to punch through the gut of the demon, sending his arm through to the other side and uses the demon as a shield again. He aims his handgun out and shoots towards one of the demons he saw standing in the middle, taking that demon out then aims his gun to the right and fires twice at another demon. The other four demons that was up ahead took aim and fired, hitting the body of the demon he is using, giving him time to move forward and kicks his demon shield onto the ground then switches to the Chaingun to finish this. Doom held onto the Chaingun with two hands and started firing at the others, piercing through their skin and finishing this with just a handful of rounds, not knowing he has only fifty rounds left in the Chaingun.
"Oh thank god!" One of the civilians said when standing by the cell, looking over to Doom "Help at long last…"
"Please!" A woman pleads "Get us out of here…."
Doom lowered his weapon when looking through the prison cells then switches back to the handgun; he decides to stand in the middle and aims his gun at the controls next to the cells. He fired one shot through the prison cell switches, hitting them with one shot and keeps shooting at all of them, opening all of the prison cells and letting everyone out. They all rushed out of there when the cells opened up, they ran towards Doom while four of them who were marines would grab the demon's weapons off the ground.
"Oh thank you!" One of them said "Thank you so much!"
"Hey where's the rest of your squad?" One of the marines said when walking over to him, seeing he wore a red UAC armour and not black "And who the hell are you anyway?"
Before anyone could get an answer from him, Doom looks straight up towards the door that opened up, causing everyone to move back while the marines took aim, seeing the demon in the heavy armour. The demon came right in the prison room alone and looks straight towards them but was staring towards Doom. The demon figure draws out its sword from its back with one hand to it, showing flames wrapped around the blade. Doom would stand there for the moment but walks towards the demon, holding his handgun at the ready then looks back at everyone, signalling with his hand to get out of here as its about to get messy here. They would have no choice in this matter but to do as he said, having the marines to take point and try to find a way out of here while Doom faces a demon from his past.
Another flashback went off yet again when seeing that demon, causing him to think back of the past, during the time when he was stuck in Hell, the time after he met that female in Hell. Doom was still alone as he did not want anything to do with her, continuing his rampage across Hell but he could tell that this is not over between the two.
Doom was still wondering around the place, soon stopping after seeing a dead demon, the same one he is facing today in the prison, having the appearance the same as the one in the prison. This demon known as 'Death Knight', a strong humanoid demon knight that uses Hell's Energy as a weapon against its enemies. Doom will crouch down to get a look at the Death Knight, seeing a lot of holes through the chest and through the head, seeing that this demon could have been dead a few hours ago as he was not the one who killed it.
Doom got up off the ground and was going to leave it be, only to stop when seeing another Death Knight behind him. The Death Knight raise its flaming sword forward, ready to run its sword through him but he moved on time, using his hand to grab the blade of the sword and send it cutting on the edge of his waist. Doom punches the Death Knight across the face then a kick to the chest to push it back, seeing that the Death Knight did not flinch from that kick, only Doom was push back by his own kick. Doom draws out his double barrel to shoot at close range at the Death Knight, only to be stop when the demon swings its sword, hitting his arm and sending his gun sliding away. The Death Knight swung again at Doom, only to miss when he ducks down and rolls away from the Death Knight then draws out the rocket launcher and fires a couple of times, hitting the Death Knight many times and finally pushing it back until it long last collapses onto the ground.
Doom stood up and switches to the plasma rifle, holding it in two hands, slowly walking towards the Death Knight and seeing it is not getting up again. Doom looks towards his double barrel that is still on the ground then walks over to pick it up, only to be stopped when a Baron appeared, stomping on his gun with one of its hooves and lets a screech at Doom. Doom held his ground and takes aim, ready to let loose plasma but that would change when someone came to step into this fight.
Someone stands behind that Baron and sends these two swords through it, cutting straight through the Baron as if it was nothing. Both swords were together in the middle of the gut, seeing they glow in purple energy. Soon, the one who stabbed the Baron swings the swords horizontally out of the waist of the Baron, sending the upper body to fall forward onto the ground and allowing Doom to get a good look at the one who did it.
There they were, four Night Sentinels standing there behind the Baron that would soon disintegrate, all four wielding these swords that are in purple energy. The four looks towards Doom while he stands there but they were not the only ones there, seeing another person approaching the Sentinels form behind, revealing it is the woman in the silver and greyish Praetor Suit. She approaches the Sentinels from behind, the one who killed the Baron moved to the side for her to stand in-between of the others.
"This is the man you saw?" One of them whispers to her while getting a good look at Doom and his armour, seeing many cracks and scratches on his body. "He looks like he's been here for a long time."
"How long has he been here?" The other one asks
"I am about to find out." The female said as she takes a step forward towards Doom
Doom took a step back when she steps forward, he aims plasma rifle towards them, causing her to stop and triggers the Sentinels to stand at the ready. She would stay where she is but she presses on, slowly moving towards Doom while he stands there aiming his rifle at her while the Sentinels held their ground.
"Do not be afraid…" She said when approaching him, raising her hands up to see she is unarmed "I am not here to hurt you…." She stops when standing right in front of him, looking at the front of the plasma rifle as it aims directly at her chest. She slowly moves her hand over the top of the plasma rifle to lower it down, allowing Doom to lower it down with one hand and aims the front of the rifle directly at the ground.
"I am here to help you; I am not your enemy. I am the Queen of the Night Sentinels. What is your name?"
The flashback ends when the Death Knight attacks, swinging its sword through the air and creating this horizontal line at Doom. Doom saw it on time and ducks the attack, aiming his gun and fires three times at the Death Knight, seeing it did not want to avoid those red energy blasts so it took the hits and not took no damage. Doom would switch to the Chaingun and started spinning that up while the Death Knight swings again, sending it vertically towards him but Doom moves out of the way while still shooting at it. The Death Knight starts charging towards Doom while he is still shooting, seeing his shots are doing little damage but are piercing through. Doom stops when the Death Knight got closer enough to swing its sword forward, he moves out of the way by using his boost jump to jump back while continue shooting until he ran out of ammo. He reverts to his fist as he did not have much weapons left, he boost jumps forward to punch the Death Knight across the face and sending it collapsing onto the ground and getting Doom to get on top to continue punching it's face, over and over again until its face is completely smashed to bits.
After it was down, Doom rose back up off the ground but did not last long because of a Bruiser Demon came into the room, throwing a large orange fireball at Doom, hitting his chest and sending him back onto the ground. The Bruiser Demon moves closer to Doom once he is down, letting off a screech as it believes Doom is dead but that demon is far wrong.
Back outside of the fortress, the UAC has already begun their assault towards demon fortress, seeing a handful of demon soldiers and other category type demons charging over this rough terrain. There was a Summoner appearing over the high ground, raising its hands to create a Pinky in front of it. The Summoner looks to the right while the Pinky runs off, seeing two Warlords and three Hell Knights running past it and charging to the enemy.
On the battlefield where the UAC marines from the Firebase Bravo are, holding their position and hiding into any cover they could find. They were using ditches or large rocks or cliffs for cover, firing back against the enemy as they come charging towards them. They hold their ground, protecting the APC and try not to allow it further in until the danger threat lowers down. Stevenson decided to allow the cyborgs to stay with the APC, just in case the demons try to surprise attack it.
Stevenson was with Travis and half of his squad hiding into cover near these stone ruins that could be what is left of houses, shooting at the demons when they come out of cover, stopping the demons from getting closer or else the demons will overrun them. Stevenson would go back into cover after taking a hit by a projectile made by an Imp, hitting his shoulder but did not hit his skin. Travis would duck back down to see if he were all right, thought it was bad.
"It's just a scratch." Stevenson said when slowly trying to get back up
Travis looks back out at the view, seeing many Warlords and Cacodemons flying towards them "It's going to be hard with the missile in the air."
"We just need to get close." Stevenson said when checking back out there "That's all we need." He moves his hand towards the side of the helmet to contact the aircraft "AC-31, we need air support right here and now."
"Copy that, were moving in position." The pilot said then contacts the co-pilot "Get ready, were going in."
The aircraft will appear flying over their heads, slowly moving into position and causing the area to get darker due to its shadow. Stevenson and the others looks up when seeing the aircraft above them, seeing that it is finally moving in position to attack. Once it was ready, both guns from the aircraft began letting loose upon the ground, shooting down all the demons they can see and causing the marines to go rushing out of cover and charge forward. The co-pilot notices the flying demons attacking the aircraft, seeing they are not doing much damage but he thought of taking them out quickly, letting loose half of their missiles to blast a handful of them to bits with one shot.
Stevenson would contact the cyborgs controlling the APC "C-2, get a move on, now!"
"Affirmative sir."
Stevenson contacts the other two squads out there "Viper and Wolverine, were advancing, what's your situation?"
"This is Staff Sergeant Williams. We have taken up position and waiting for you to arrive. We seem to have lost contact with Viper Squad; they are moving way off their position."
"Why the hell are they doing that?"
"I don't know, maybe something happen but I can't get a hold on anyone. We are still holding our position and we can't leave yet."
"Try and contact them, we will deal with that later." He loads his machinegun ready and looks back to the marines who are still by his side "We have to move now."
"What's going on with Viper Squad?" Travis asks
"There's no time… Let's go!"
Stevenson rushes out of the hole and so does everyone else, running through the field and shooting at the demons. The marines keep moving but they stay behind or underneath the aircraft while it is still shooting while moving forward, not want to get any friendly fire from it. The demons were holding up a fight against them but would soon change, having the aircraft let loose the rest of their missiles, targeting the ground and wiping out a handful of demons.
Travis stayed by Stevenson's side while running over the field, soon to stop when a Hell Knight was close by. One of the marines held a plasma rifle and used a stun attack on it, causing it to stop and allowing the marines to start shooting holes through the demon before it collapses. Travis would move up and catches up to this marine who was carrying an advance Chaingun just like the one Doom is holding, letting loose across the field but targeting the flying demons to send them falling. Travis would tap on his shoulder to know he was behind him, staying behind him and looking to the side when seeing some Imps coming towards them.
The APC was moving while the marines continues advancing, ignoring many of their marines falling in battle, they continue moving and pushing the demons back. The APC will be under the control of the cyborgs just to stop any demons from attacking it. The cyborgs went in attack mode when seeing a Mancubus that let loose two large fireballs at the APC, two cyborgs on that side became shields to the vehicle, not wanting the mission to fail. The two gladly accept destruction, allowing the others to shoot plasma rounds through the Mancubus and to stun it before finishing it off.
"Sir, we have engaged the enemy and we have lost two of our defenders." One of the cyborgs reports to Stevenson while firing at the Mancubus "The APC is still intact."
"Copy that, I will send some men to assist you." Stevenson responded when getting into cover, looking to his right when seeing Travis by his side and two more marines near them. "Travis! Get you and these guys back to the APC, the demons are going to try and attack it."
"What about you guys?" Travis asks
"Were going to stay by aircraft for cover. Wolverine will join us soon, once they are here I will bring more men to defend the APC, now go!"
"Alright." Travis looks to the marines behind him "Back to the APC!"
The marines got up off the ground as they prepare to move, only to stop when one of them shouts out while pointing towards a location. "Baron!"
The Baron was behind the marines, seeing it is letting off a screech and looking towards the back end of the airship. The marines and others who heard it turn towards the Baron and open fire, causing the Baron to turn towards the marines and began throwing green fireballs towards them. Travis and the marine next to him moves out of the way while the other one was moving backwards. That marine took the hit and collapses back on the floor, the others kept firing as the Baron was charging towards them, throwing another green fireball but missed then was killed by the one who was using the Chaingun.
Travis looks back towards the one who help take down that Baron, seeing him looking back at Travis and that there is when he is left wide open for an attack by a demon. A demon soldier fired two shots through his back, piercing through his body and sending him collapsing onto the ground. The demon was going to finish him off but the aircraft took care of it, shooting down at the soldier and killing it with several bullets through its body.
"Come on." Travis looks to the marine "We have a mission to do."
Travis and four more marines who was nearby joins him on returning to the APC, backing away from the fight while Stevenson and his men advance closer, close to the enemy base with the aircraft hovering above their heads. Stevenson would contact Viper Squad a couple of times, still having no response from them, unknown on what happen to them. Stevenson will get word that Wolverine will come in their sights soon, seeing they are still in position and are fighting as much as what they are.
