UAC Firebase Bravo was in a state of an evacuation after hearing the news that they have finished creating the last spaceship that will head into space, saving five thousand people on this planet that will go into space and stay on the Moon or on Mars. Mars did return to the UAC long ago when a squad of marines went back up there, removing any type of evidence up there and took a long time for the cleaners to clean all of that mess up there. The UAC occupied it yet again and this time they planned to gather scientists up there, that way they could try to create life on Mars, making sure that if this planet can populate then they need to find a way to survive.
Back inside Firebase Bravo, all data was to be remove from the system and to bring VEGA with them. Sergeant Travis would be outside organising teams to get ready to move, waiting for the evacuation helicopters to arrive. Staff Sergeant Williams will be inside the computer room, uploading data inside a hard drive before he could scramble the rest of the data. While he was doing that, he asked other marines to help around the base, soon to return and report on their progress before all the data is upload to the hard drive.
One of the marines came up to him to the side, saluting to him before he responds "Sir, all weapons have all been counted for, there inside separate crates with the ammunition."
"Good job." Williams responds "Take the crates onto the surface."
"Yes sir." He turns back and walks away, saluting to Sergeant Travis before he walks past him
"Any word from the Doom Slayer?" Travis asks Williams
"I don't know why you call him that." Williams looks to Travis "Does he even have a name?"
"Oh I don't know sir; maybe I could go and ask him…."
"Oh I should have saw that coming…"
"Maybe we can call him… Arnold."
"Arnold? Seriously?'
"What's wrong with that, I know a badass guy named Arnold."
"Yeah whatever."
"What, do you have a better name."
"As a matter of fact I do –"
"If I can interrupt this whole charade." VEGA interrupts it, getting them to look back at him as he stands there in the holographic image of himself
"What is it now VEGA?" Williams asks "I told you not to disturb me."
"Yes but I thought you should know that I made contact with Corporal Rhodes and the rest of the marines."
"What?" Travis moves closer to VEGA "Where are they?"
"They said they have made contact with the Crusaders, negotiating on a misunderstanding regarding Viper Squad, the squad that left the battle of Hell's Mountain."
"The Crusaders… What do they want?" Williams asks
"He said Viper Squad." Travis looks back to Williams "There the squad that left us out there."
"It is said that they have joined forces with the demons, attacking the Crusaders and trying to get both sides from fighting each other." VEGA said "Corporal Rhodes and the rest of the marines will join the Crusaders on a mission, to track down the last remnants of Viper Squad."
"Bloody hell…."
"Tell Corporal Rhodes of what is going on here, he's probably going to miss out on the evacuation but give him the co-ordinance on where we are going."
"Understood sir."
"So that's what happen to them." Williams said when looking to Travis "The Crusaders must have found them and brought them to their hideout."
"It can't be helped." Travis said "We were bound to cross paths with them again."
"Yes but because of that order, we lost a quarter of our marines because of them, that pushed us back."
"Yes and we did lose Colonel Marcus, he took the suit and left us."
"Speaking of Marcus and that suit, you notice Doom's armour? He looks so similar to the UAC's armour."
"You weren't here when we found him, and trust me he is not one of them."
"If you say so."
"By the way…." Travis looks back to VEGA "Where are we taking him?"
"I never had the chance to tell the general about him yet, not really sure where to take him because we can't really take him to the battlefield."
"Wish we could hand him over to Sanctuary, shame it is overrun by demons. The scientists in there could have really used him."
"Maybe I can return to the Doom Slayer." VEGA said "Or back to the UAC headquarters."
"You can't return to the UAC's headquarters and you can't do anything inside of his suit." Travis said "Unless we remodel his suit and put you somewhere at the back of his helmet or something."
"Now that is ridiculous." Williams said "He's coming with us, afterwards we will find some way for him to be useful later."
"Alright, once the transport arrives then we can get the hell out of here."
Elsewhere, both the UAC and the Crusaders are now begun to work together in order to find the underlying cause of all of this, preparing to make their trip to a factory that is a hundred miles from where they are. The UAC marines got back their possessions and were free to go, allowing themselves to join them once they got their helmets and their guns. Marcus and Randall will lead a team of Crusaders while Corporal Rhodes commands the UAC marines. They were in a separate room from the Crusaders, equipping themselves with what they need for a raid but some of the marines still did not like this at all.
"I don't like this…" The marine said, looking back towards the door behind him, seeing it opened but a single Crusader is defending it.
"Something on your mind soldier?" Corporal Rhodes said, facing that marine as they both stood on both sides of a steel table with their guns on it
"I'm just saying that they did blame us for something we didn't do."
"At least they didn't torture us." Another marine said when coming up to the table, grabbing a grenade and a magazine clip for himself
"Look, I know you guys have been stuck here longer than we have, but after what happen to their people because of a squad, I can't blame them."
"Then why are we helping them then?"
"Because we have to save Viper Squad or else they will go in there and kill them all, we need to see for ourselves if Viper Squad is in league with the demons."
Another Crusader will come into the room while the one standing by the door turns to face them, getting all of the marine's attention when the two stands there looking back at them. "Are you guys ready to move?" One of them asks
"Yeah, yeah…" The marine grabs his assault rifle and heads out of the door, bumping into the Crusader on purpose when he walks out of there.
The two Crusaders move to the side for the rest of them to move out, having Rhodes the last member to walk out of there. They all will be moving down the hallway with the two Crusaders behind them, soon to stop when Marcus and his squad of Crusaders stands behind him.
"You ready to go?" Marcus said
"That depends… You planning on killing us when this is over?"
"Remember what I said to you, now you plan on saying the same thing to me now."
"Good point…"
"Let's get a move on then." Randall said as he turns to the side and heads down the hallway with the Crusaders behind him, heading to the surface
Marcus stays where he is and takes a few steps towards Rhodes "Just remember… If Viper Squad is still working with the demons, you know what must be done, right?"
"I know." Rhodes nods "Let's get this over with so I can return home."
"Alright."
While both sides are about to head into battle against the demons once more, Samantha wanted to show Doom something on the computer screen, Doom was just standing behind her, looking at this little toy soldier that is supposed to be Marcus. Doom will pick up the toy figure then looks to Samantha when she said something.
"I should have known that there was an original Doom Slayer out there, the UAC never really said anything about the original but I knew there was something behind it. The one who created the Praetor Suit must have been the one who saw you in action, am I correct?" She looks to him and notices him nods, making her look back to the screen "There are only five men wearing the Praetor Suits, one of them is dead. The general of the UAC wears a black Praetor Suit while two of them are the orange and red, you already saw Marcus who wears the white."
Doom will lean forward and looks at the computer screen, looking at five small images of the Praetor Suits, seeing the black, red, orange, white and blue. Samantha will zoom in to show them all in the suits, seeing they are all the same image like Doom's Praetor Suit but slightly different. After she minimizes the images, Doom will point at another image to make her increase the size of it, seeing the owner and creator of the Praetor Suits. It was Samuel Hayden, still the same, and triggering some flashbacks from their last encounter, the last words that Samuel said to him before sending him away. This got Doom mad when he closes his hands, crushing the toy soldier as he still held onto it.
"You know him don't you?" Samantha asks "That's Samuel Hayden, the owner of the UAC. He was the one creating the armour, the weapons and other ways of containing the demons… But you probably already know about that."
"Samuel Hayden was the man in charge of the UAC facility on Mars." Marcus comes into this, walking towards them and getting their attention "I knew he was involved in the events on Mars, good thing people uploaded it onto the world. The general of the UAC decides to keep him alive, he was valuable and it was a bad idea for him to be killed."
"What exactly happened on Mars anyway?" Samantha looks to Doom, seeing he is just remaining silent "Are you ever going to talk about it?"
"Forget it." Marcus said "Leave him be, he is just a soldier but with a long line of killing –" He stops and notices what is left of the toy soldier on the floor, broken to pieces then looks to Doom "Did you just seriously just broke that…." He sighs and turns back and walks away
"You can't hide it forever you know." Samantha said when Doom walks away from her, getting him to stop when she said that "We just want the truth."
Doom looks forward and follows Marcus, heading outside where they will join the Crusaders and the team commanded by Corporal Rhodes. Both teams will take the same vehicles as before, taking the truck once it is ready and so is the APC, having the UAC marines taking the UAC while the Crusaders and Doom himself gets on the truck.
The teams drove out of here through the same pathway they came through here, driving forth through the night and reaching their destination to this old location, a large factory area that could been a car factory. This place stretch from miles, surrounded by stone walls but are broken, many other factory buildings but lies in ruins and it appears that this place has been abandoned before the demons even came to Earth. The team would have to leave the vehicles outside the walls, leaving the APC at the entrance and they all begin to disembark from their vehicles and get a move on, heading straight inside this place.
"How do you want to do this?' Corporal Rhodes asks when standing next to Marcus
"Split into two teams." Marcus said "Your team will check those buildings." He points to the right "I will take my team through the others; we will regroup when we find something."
"Alright." He looks back to his men "Let's move." He then looks towards the buildings in the distance, aiming his weapon forward while moving.
Marcus will look back to Doom while his Crusaders make their way inside the main structure; he was just standing there, looking out at the place as he feels like there is something wrong.
"Hey Doom." He called to him, getting him to look back at him. He looks behind him and raise his head up a bit towards the structure in the far distance "You take those buildings…"
Doom looks out towards the building and gets a move on, holding his super shotgun ready as he moves forward. Marcus will look back to his Crusaders and gets a move on too, holding his plasma rifle ready and stays behind the Crusaders until they reach the door, once opened, he will go through first and have the others following him in a line behind him.
Corporal Rhodes and his team moved on through the buildings, checking each one and seeing no sign of any demons around. After checking through two structures, heading through the open to check the other building, that there is when somebody took a hit through the head. A demon soldier inside a building, standing by the window engaged the squad, shooting through the head of a marine and triggering an all-out fight. The rest of the demon soldiers came out of hiding and open fire at the marines, they tried to shoot back while quickly moving into cover by having the squad splitting in half when they both ran sideways through the buildings.
Marcus and his squad of Crusaders held their position once they heard gunfire going off. "What's going on out there?" Marcus contacts Corporal Rhodes
Rhodes were stuck against the wall with another marine behind him, trying to shoot back but was taking too many shots fired from the demons, causing him to hide for cover while they go hitting the wall. He did heard Marcus the third time as he tried to contact them, hearing his voice in the radio and he tries to respond.
"What's going on out there?"
"Were having a tea party…. What do you think is going on!?" Rhodes said when looking towards his other half of his squad, seeing only two shooting at the demons
"Do you need help?"
"Negative…. We got this!" He took out a grenade and threw it across the area, blasting one demon soldier and sending it through the air, allowing him to move out of cover and starts shooting at the demon soldier by the window inside the building.
"Alright." Marcus looks back to his Crusaders then looks forward, continue to move through the building to see if they could find anything.
Back outside of the factory, the APC and the truck was standing by, hearing a response from Corporal Rhodes that they need the APC here and now. Just when the driver got word from them, he soon stops what he was doing when he heard gunshots coming outside, coming from the two Crusaders who was watching over their vehicle. He will end up grabbing a weapon and checking a look outside, opening up and hatch and waiting for it to lower however, it was a mistake on doing that. He just let the demons in, seeing a Death Knight standing right there in front of the hatch with several humans standing behind it. The Death Knight stood there while the marine looks back at him, before he had a chance to fire; the Death Knight swung his flaming sword through his chin and reach through the top of his head.
Corporal Rhodes and his marines move out of cover once they killed enough soldiers to come out, seeing only a few left, shooting at them while moving backwards. Rhodes and the others move after them, shooting them all dead and lost four marines in this surprise attack. After it was all over, Rhodes returns to the others and contacts Marcus.
"Area secure, were all good here."
"Copy that… This building here is secure."
"Sir." One of them calls to him when looking behind him, seeing the APC coming around the corner
Rhodes and his men look towards the APC as it soon stops, he will then contact the driver. "It's all good here, area secure."
The APC held its ground and did not respond to Rhodes, soon surprising them all when it moved its gun to the side, aiming at one of the marines and open fire, blasting that marine and sending him flying. Rhodes and everyone else was shock and when the gun aims towards them, they quickly made a run out of its sight, running out of its sight while the APC moves forward, firing a second time and killing another marine in the back.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Rhodes contacts the driver inside the APC when hiding behind the wall "Stand down!"
The APC will aim its gun towards where Rhodes was hiding, firing a plasma shot through the wall and missing him completely, getting him to run out of there while everyone else was running. He contacts the others to get into hiding, unable to take the APC, as they do not have any destructive weapons on them.
Marcus will get the call from Rhodes once he and his Crusaders made it outside "Marcus… Were under attack by our own APC!"
"Can you say that again?" Marcus responds "Your own APC?"
"Sir look." One of the Crusaders behind points out, pointing towards many people with the truck in front of them, driving towards the warehouse nearby
"Shit… Get into cover." He said as he quickly moves to the right with the rest of them, quickly hiding, as they have not seem them yet.
"They must have just arrived…" The Crusader whispers when crouching down against the cover
"They took the APC." Marcus would contact Rhodes "Corporal Rhodes, the demon worshippers have taken the APC and our vehicle, can you regroup?"
"Negative, my whole squad is separated from one another. I'm going to try and regroup inside the building."
"I will make my way to you." Marcus looks back to his Crusaders "Stay in cover and watch them, don't engage unless they see you."
"Yes sir."
Marcus gets up and watches the demon worshippers and the truck, getting inside the building. After they are inside, he makes his move out of cover and tries to get to Rhodes, also calling Doom for some assistance as he is still busy checking the other places.
He was walking around this wide and empty place, seeing no sign of any demons but he kept moving until he suddenly stops, turning his head to the right and looking through a doorway that leads to a small room. There was a large pile of bodies, all demons and humans all piled onto the ground but he was not looking at them, instead he was looking at what lies at the top of the dead pile. There it was, his old friend called the chainsaw, seeing it was sticking up while the blade was stuck halfway inside a corpse. This chainsaw must have been waiting for him, having this little light shining through the holes in the ceiling, shining down at it, wanted him to take it.
Doom walks up to the chainsaw and grabs a hold of it with one hand, pulling it out of the body and getting a look at it, seeing it is bigger than the previous chainsaw. He got off the pile and starts moving backwards, trying to start up the chainsaw but was no good, trying a few times when walking out of the room. He was force to stop when looking up and seeing he is not alone, seeing a handful of demon soldiers, standing in a line, surrounding him, not carrying any weapons on them and think they can handle him without any guns. Doom will get a look at all of them then looks back down to his chainsaw, trying to start it up once more and at long last it starts, ready to saw them all to shreds.
The demon soldiers will charge towards him while he charges back at them, swinging his chainsaw through one of them through the shoulder and cuts diagonal down through the body, quickly turning to the side and slicing through the head of another. He drew out his super shotgun and turns to the side to send his chainsaw through a soldier, sending it through the chest and lifting it up in the air, soon to fire his shotgun and send that soldier flying, spilling the blood over his armour. He places his shotgun away and swings down at another soldier, blocking his blade with its arms but he cuts right through and slices the head in half. He turns to the next demon and sends it through the gut, slowly rising the chainsaw up and sawing through. He turns around when a Hell Knight came into the fight, unable to grab Doom however as he saws right through its body, slicing it in half.
He continues slicing the demons to shreds, killing a handful more until finally a Death Knight shows up, he was just about to swing through it but that Death Knight swung first, swinging its flaming sword through and cutting the blade of the chainsaw. Doom stopped when half the blade was lost to the sword, seeing that his chainsaw is unusable now thanks to it. He looks back to the Death Knight while it stands there, it looks like it was laughing but that will not last long because he just destroyed one of his favourite weapons ever, making things bad for the Death Knight as Doom is now pissed.
One minute later, that Death Knight came blasting out of the wall and crashing outside of the building, seeing Doom coming out of the hole in the wall while the Death Knight slowly tries to get up. Doom will kick it in the face and send it back down, allowing him to punch it in the face a few times, soon to grab its arm and rips it off, beating the hell out of the Death Knight with it until he was force to stop when he got the call from Marcus.
"Doom, we got contact that demon worshippers have our vehicles. The marines are in trouble and could use your help back here."
Doom drops the arm and gets off the Death Knight but ends up stomping what is left of its face, walking away from the area and going straight towards the factory where the demon worshippers and the Crusaders are going.
The Crusaders will set up outside while having Randall the sniper to sneak inside, getting into higher area inside the factory while they stay outside. They will wait for a while until they move in, making sure that they stay hidden and wait until those people move further within.
Elsewhere, Corporal Rhodes and his marines made it back together but lost five marines from that APC as it was moving around, stalking them while they hide in the second floor building, the building where the demons fired upon them. The area was secure but it will not be long before the APC thinks it can bring the building down if they think about it, it will continue to move around until Marcus arrives.
Marcus will come forth from behind a building, watching the APC as it moves past him, seeing it did not spot him yet, waiting for it to move on ahead before he charges out and attacks it from behind. Once he is ready, he charges when its back was facing him, leaping into the air and landing on top of it, getting the APC to stop. He will walk over to the top hatch of the APC, grabbing the driver, throwing him in the air, and slamming him hard onto the ground, killing him instantly.
Rhodes will stand out at the window and notices Marcus standing on top of the APC, he will notice him and waves his hand out to them, showing that it is secure. Rhodes will signal his marines to get back outside, returning to the APC while Marcus secures the area, jumping off the APC and drawing out his plasma rifle.
"You guys alright?" Marcus asks when the team approaches him
"Thanks for the help." One of them said to him
"Yeah well the fight isn't done yet." He looks to the APC "The enemy got out vehicle too, now they are inside the factory warehouse."
"Then that is where we should go." Rhodes looks to one of the marines "Man the APC."
"Yes sir."
"And this time…. Make sure that you know who is out there before you open the doors." Marcus said
"Yes sir."
"Marcus this is Randall. Do you read me?"
Marcus responds "I got you, what's going on in there?"
"There inside and waiting for something. They are all just standing there, waiting for something to happen."
"Alright we will be there in a minute, put this on speaker to everyone." Marcus looks back to Rhodes "Let's go."
Randall watches from a far while the Crusaders hide together, hiding behind some broken parts and debris from the ceiling. Randall will soon to realise that a large hatch will open up from underneath the ground, seeing it appears right in front of the demon worshippers. Two large Barons will come out of the hatch, reaching to the surface and standing on both sides of the hatch, not even thinking of attacking the humans.
"What's going on in there?" Rhodes asks "Is Viper Squad in there?"
"I have eyes on Viper Squad and a lot of people."
"How many are there?" Marcus asks
"Well there's thirty people arm with guns and I can see two Barons just standing there looking back at them… Hold on, something is happening, standby."
Another demon will reveal itself, revealing a female demon, a demon that no one has ever seen before. She shows to have red skin and some rags around her shoulders and chest, having two long horns on her forehead. She wore a darker red armour just like the demon soldiers but different, having her lower body covered in armour and her upper body only had armoured breastplate on.
She will stand in between of the two Barons, seeing they are both lowering their heads to her while all of the humans will go on one knee, bowing down to her while she stands there, smiling back at them. Randall got a lock on her through his scope, having a surprise look on his face as this was the first time seeing someone like her.
"It's…. A female." Randall said
"Say that again?" Marcus asks
"The people… There kneeling to this female demon."
"Did he just say a female demon?" Rhodes said when looking to Marcus "Impossible."
"Impossible? Where do you think they do to the females?" One of the Crusaders said
"Turn them into Mancubus'?" Another Crusader asks
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." A female said
"I'm just saying tha –"
"What I mean is that we have been fighting the demons for almost ten years, if there was a female demon then we would have heard about it by now."
"Unless they were created late."
"Son of a bitch…." Marcus mumbled to himself
"What?"
"Two years ago two of my Crusaders said that they found a female demon, at first I didn't believe in them but I lost contact with the both of them. Twenty minutes later my men found them, before I got there I saw those two Crusaders shooting my men in the back."
"Just like Viper Squad…" Rhodes said "Of course, that explains what happened to them at a battle… They must have found a female and she brought them back with her, ordering half of them to attack you guys while the rest returns to her here."
"Does this mean I can shoot her?" Randall asks
"Negative, keep watching her." Marcus said to him
"But sir I got a clean shot to put this bitch down."
"If you kill her then no one is stopping the demons from killing all of our people."
"But if she finds us then she will try to control us." Rhodes said
"So what do we do now?"
"Don't engage until we get there!"
Randall watches her with his scope and lost sighting of her due to someone's head is in the way, unable to get a clean shot now. He raise his head and took off his helmet, placing his eye against the scope again and get a look again, seeing this female looking at the people but not sure what she is doing. Something would soon change when she was walking to the side, soon to pause for the moment and looks forward, looking around as if she knows that they are being watch by someone.
"Hang on… Something is happening." Randall said when getting a look at her through the scope "Something is wrong… She's….."
"Randall what's wrong?" Marcus asks, waiting for a moment but is getting no responds "Randall? Randall please respond."
Randall was still there but unable to move, petrified and shaking as he looks through the scope, seeing her looking back at him, seeing that she can see him right there, stopping him from moving but his fingers shake when having his finger on the trigger, unable to pull the trigger. He cannot do a thing, unable to do anything but will soon to hear voices through his head, hearing her soft beautiful voice, telling him to kill.
Just when things were about to turn bad to worse, some good would happen when Doom comes jumping into the scene, smashing through the wall and getting the demons attention. The female demon looks over, having her eyes widen when seeing the Doom Slayer, standing in the flesh with his Chaingun with one hand to it.
Doom aims his Chaingun towards her and fires, hitting her chest and shoulder and sending her collapsing back. The Baron will stand in front of her to protect the rest of the shots, allowing her to retreat underground. The rest of the people here will draw out their guns and aim towards Doom, causing Doom to aim his Chaingun and starts spinning up, shooting down several men while the rest continue firing back at him. One of them takes him down when he is arm with a rocket launcher, firing at him and hitting him in the chest, sending him collapsing back and causing his Chaingun to be damage by the explosion.
The Crusaders that were hiding could not wait anymore so they quickly act, they all came out of cover and aims their guns at all of them, forcing them to fire at them all while the female has fled, leaving her Barons behind to join the worshippers to fight. Randall also got back under control of himself, quickly taking aim and firing at a Baron, firing his shot through the head but that Baron was still attacking. Reinforcements would arrive when Marcus and the others charge right in, coming from behind the truck and forcing them to shoot at their own people, shooting them all down and shooting towards the Barons. Marcus will take down one of the Barons when moving closer, still firing his plasma rifle while the Crusaders and Randall help brought the other Baron down to its knees, finishing it off when they got closer to it while firing, blasting more holes through it until it collapses.
"Son of a bitch!" Rhodes said when looking at the bodies "God damnit!" He then looks over to Doom when he walks over. Rhodes will walk straight at him and hits him "What the hell were you thinking!? They were our people!"
"We had no choice…" One of the Crusaders said "They open fire at us."
Marcus looks down at the dead bodies then to the underground hatch. "I want that hatch secure." He looks at his Crusaders, ordering four of them to get over there then looks towards Doom and Rhodes. He will not be involve with them but will look over towards Randall when he came over. "Randall… What happened?"
"I'm sorry sir… She saw me and I froze… I couldn't control myself."
"She controls their minds…" He mumbled to himself then looks to Rhodes "Corporal, there was nothing we could have done. If Doom didn't do what he did then Randall would be under her control."
He sighs and backs away from Doom then looks to Randall "You should have shot her when you had the chance."
"She would have been and those Barons would have killed half the worshippers…" Randall said
"It's better than no one alive!"
"Stand down! We can still get her." He looks towards the entrance hatch "We go in there and kill her."
"Guys we got a situation out here." The driver of the APC said through their radio
"What's going on?" Rhodes asks
"We got demons… A lot of them!"
"How many?"
"There's a lot of them coming out of the ground! I got to get out of here!"
"Get us out of here first." Marcus said to him "Bring the APC to cover us while we drive out of here…" He looks to Randall "Get that truck working."
"Yes sir."
"What about that woman?" Rhodes asks
"We can't really leave her down there, or else the next time we come back here then she will be ready in force." He looks over to Doom, seeing him picking up a rocket launcher off one of the dead bodies "Doom. You and I are going down there."
"Seriously?"
Marcus looks back to Rhodes "Get everyone else out of here, after that you are free to go with the APC."
"But si –"
"You have your orders!" He said to the Crusaders "Now get in the truck and get out of here."
