Marcus and Doom now venture alone through the dark catacombs underneath the factory, leaving Randall and Rhodes in charge of the escape. They will be staying on the surface, getting into their vehicles and driving out of here while demon soldiers are overrunning the whole area. It is possible that there could be more hatches like this around the area, which must be how more demons are showing up all the sudden.
Doom begins to load up on weapons before going down there, taking a rocket launcher, a combat shotgun and an ARX-160 assault rifle from one of the dead Crusaders. He will hold onto his super shotgun at the ready, taking point while he moves in with Marcus behind him, armed with just a plasma rifle.
When they venture down through the stairways down to the bottom, noticing the walls are similar designs of Hell, the walls made of stone, chunks of bodies put together and covered in blood, even the ground itself was sometimes cover in blood over the dirt. The place felt like a type of bunker, made by the demons to hide something, the two would press on through this long hallway, having the braziers that are against the wall to show them the path ahead of them.
"This place must be huge." Marcus said while pressing forward with his plasma rifle in front of him "I wonder how long this place has been here, the way this place is, it could have been here for a long time."
The two continued moving through the catacombs of this place, checking through hallways that leads to other areas, they will just aim their weapons through those hallways just in case any demons shows up. They will continue moving forward and no sign of any demons nearby, either they are all up at the surface or something else is happening.
As they continue pressing on through into this place, they soon realising the hallway is getting bigger. Doom found a doorway while Marcus kept moving forward, soon to stop when there was a dead end and Doom moved on through the doorway, having Marcus to catch up to him. They move through this 'C' shape pathway, leading to a place where they will find answers.
In this other room, they find themselves puzzled when seeing this strange container pods against the wall, all made of metal and shows no signs of any glass so they could look through it. They did notice that there are these wide arteries connecting them, stretching through all of them and through the ceiling, as if they are electric cords. Marcus and Doom notice more of them, more of these pods against the walls and it looks like it could go on for a mile.
"Any idea what these things are?" Marcus asks "I mean you must have seen these things before in Hell."
Doom decides to place his super shotgun away and walks up to one of the container pods, grabbing it and trying to open it up, using his brute strength, he manage to opens it up while Marcus stands watch. The moment he opened it up, he froze for the moment then took a step back, surprised at what he saw. Marcus will look as well and he was shock as well, surprised to see what is inside.
There lies a male human wearing his tight shorts, covered up in red arteries, wrapped around his body, having his face completely covered in it. The end of the arteries are lodged inside his body, seeing that his veins on his skin was changing to purple, seeing that this man is slowly morphing into one of them, into a demon soldier. This man was half-complete as half his skin turned; changed to the purple colour the demon soldiers are now, and will not be long before he becomes one of them.
"I don't believe this…. I mean I knew there was a theory about the demon soldiers but this…" He slowly moves closer to the male "This… Into a demon soldier…" He then looks back towards the other pods "That explains everything… There are people inside these pods, making them all into soldiers so they can use them as weapons against us."
Doom moves closer to the pod and raise his hand out to the man, wishing to save him but with a serious twist. He grabs onto his neck and snaps it, killing him instantly while Marcus watched it, not saying anything to him, and knowing there is nothing they could have done to save him.
"We have to destroy this place…." Marcus said "If there are any people who are human, alive in prisons or something then we need to get them out of here." He looks back to the pod then aims his gun up at the ceiling, looking at the arteries "There must be something that is pouring that stuff inside of them, turning them into the demons." He looks back to Doom then looks forward "Let's go."
They will move through and ignore the pods, seeing there is nothing they could do to help them. They will continue to advance through, ignoring fifty pods that are against the wall and knowing there could be more in other place in these catacombs. When they continue moving, they came through door that leads to a small square room with another door up ahead, just when they got closer to it, there was demons behind it. A Hell Priest stood in front of that door, having a different look than the others that Doom killed. This Hell Priest will stand with four other demon soldiers behind it, both sides were shock to see what was behind this door.
Doom quickly fired first at the priest, firing straight through the head and sending that priest falling back to the floor. Marcus will aim his plasma rifle and started firing at the others, the demons will try shooting back at them but failed when Doom and Marcus fired first, sending them to the floor as well. After they were down, Doom looks back to see if it's clear while Marcus moves on ahead, seeing no sign of demons yet but they could hear some noises, a cry call for the demons.
"There goes our cover." Marcus said when looking out at the hallway, seeing some Imps and soldiers coming this way "Contact!"
Marcus began firing more plasma rounds through the demons while Doom stays back, switching to the rocket launcher and helps him out, firing twice at them and blasting them to bits. After they are dead, they quickly move forward, stuck in some firefights against the demons when they finally reveal themselves because of those loud noises from their guns. Both of them continued running right through them as they could not stop, they kept moving until they were stuck in a two way situation, seeing two doorways that leads to other areas.
"This will take too long if we go together." Marcus said when looking at one of the doorways while Doom was facing back, switching to his assault rifle and started shooting at some more Imps approaching them. Marcus will look back to Doom once he finished, dropping his gun after running out of ammo for it.
"I will take the other way… You go down the other pathway." Marcus said "Good luck…"
Doom nods to him then switches to the rocket launcher, looking back and firing once more while Marcus runs out of here in the other direction. After the demons are dead, Doom takes other path, taking him to somewhere else where Marcus cannot follow, hoping that he will come across the female demon and hope that Marcus does not find something worse down here.
Doom continues moving until he will come across a room that got his attention, he shot through two demon soldiers protecting the doorway to that room, killing them both with his super shotgun then walks right in while switching to the rocket launcher. He came into this type of throne room, having a throne with nobody sitting on it, seeing it covered in the same arteries from the pods and the people covered by it, it was all coming out of the ground underneath the throne. This here must be where the source of the power lies, if the female demon were behind this then she would have to sit on the throne, giving this place her energy so that she can create demon soldiers.
Doom notices the throne and proceeds to move closer to it, soon realising that there is a doorway, that there is where he will go. He came into another wide room behind the throne room, covered in so much blood over the walls and on the floor too, noticing a few dead people and an underground pool of blood. He walks closer while holding his rocket launcher at the ready, checking his surroundings and could not find any demon around whatsoever but when approaching the round pool of blood, that there is when he will find her.
The female demon showed herself when seeing her head rising up out of the pool of blood, looking up at Doom as he looks down at her with the rocket launcher. She slowly starts rising up out of the blood, showing her naked body covered in blood. She rises out of the water while Doom stands there, not firing his weapon; instead, he lowered his weapon while she stands there by the edge of the pool.
"Hello Doom Slayer." She spoke out, speaking through his mind, making her lovely voice echo through his mind. "Have you come to join me in the pool?" She then raise her hand out to him while taking a step back, placing her foot into the pool of blood.
Doom surprises her when raising his rocket launcher at her and fired, hitting her in the chest and sending her flying back, hitting against the wall and collapsing into the pool of blood, having her sink down to the bottom of it. He will lower his rocket launcher while slowly moving closer to the pool, checking to see if she is alive or not. The moment he got too close to the pool, she surprises him by leaping out of the pool, into the air and tackling him to the ground, losing his rocket launcher. She lets a screech when raising her head forward, calling for help. She will look down at Doom and he starts to grab her, rolling her to the side so he could lie on top of her, looking down at her while she lies there. She was planning on using her seductive ways to persuade him to spare her, grabbing his hand and moving it over her chest and grabbing one of her breasts, trying to control him but failed when he raise his hand up in the air, ready to punch her face in.
A Death Knight came forth and interrupted this moment between the two, kicking Doom in the face and sending him off her. He stood tall and takes out his combat shotgun and looking back at the two, seeing her getting up off the floor and moving away while the Death Knight stands in front of her as a shield. Doom took aim and fired two shells through the Death Knight before he swung his sword at him, unleashing a horizontal fire wave towards him but he ducks on time. The Death Knight will move towards Doom while he moves back, firing two more shell through his chest, not slowing down whatsoever. The Death Knight swung down at him, only cutting through his shotgun, quickly switching to the super shotgun and fired a shot at close range through the knee of the Death Knight, injuring it and sending it on one knee. Doom finished this by punching it across the face then grabs its head to twist it and snapping its neck, sending it collapsing onto the floor and taking his sword.
The female demon fled the room before Doom realises it, getting a head start to hide from hi, knowing he will go after her but after seeing how big this underground place is, it will be difficult to chase after her. He will go and pick up his rocket launcher and take his leave from this place, he even took one of the demon weapons off a dead soldier, outside the throne then makes his way out of here, going to find Marcus as he could be in trouble.
Marcus was busy taking care of the demon soldiers in the room he was in, noticing that the hallways and the rooms he went through have begun getting bigger as he is going further underground and the rooms are getting bigger. He has already eliminated a handful of demon soldiers before reaching to this wide room, full of columns close to the walls. He came in here after he took care of the demons, soon realising that there is still more inside the room, noticing two small Pinky demons inside the room and a few Imps.
Marcus moves forward and started firing his plasma rifle towards the demons, shooting down the Imps that was hanging on the column, sending them falling off then turns his gun towards the Pinky demons when he made eye contact with them. He will switch to his secondary fire of his plasma rifle when dealing with Pinky, firing a beam from his gun like a Gauss Cannon, piercing through one of the Pinkies and killing it with one shot. That Pinky took a huge chunk out of its head, killing it instantly then the next Pinky demon would be next from that shot when Marcus saw it on time, firing another shot and blasting it through the mouth and reaching the other side. It collapses onto the ground and slides towards him, stopping right in front of him while he stood there, standing his ground.
"Well, well… Get a load of this…" Marcus said to himself when moving forward and getting a look at this huge door up ahead.
A huge door that is twenty meters high, a strong wooden door with a skull of a Baalgar Demon on the center of it. Marcus will move closer to the door, believing this should be the main room where they put people in those pods. He got closer to it but it was not going to open up for him, placing his hand over the door then looks back as he could have sworn he heard something.
He looks back to the door then moves his hand at the back, taking out a cylinder prism disk with a red button on the top of it. "I guess it's up to you now." He said to the disk before placing it onto the door, making it stick to the door then presses the red button, seeing it blinking and causing him to move as far away from the door.
After a few seconds later, the bomb explodes and takes out only a chunk of the door, having Marcus standing by and watching it happen, waiting for the smoke to clear to see if it worked which it did and made a hole through the door. Marcus proceeds through with his plasma rifle at the ready, crouching down when close to the door so he could go through the hole where he will enter the next room that lies in darkness.
In this dark room where no light is shining through here except for the hole that Marcus made, making his way through and could not see a thing until some lights started to light up. The braziers against the walls slowly lit, one by one they light up to show how huge this room is. Just as the braziers are continue to be lighted up, they soon see something that lies at the end of the room, he will just watch at the braziers until they reach the end, there he will see that he is wrong and there is something in here that he should not have entered. There it was, a large demon sitting on its stone throne and asleep but this was not like any other demon he has ever face before, this was the second time seeing this monster before.
"Oh my god…. A Baalgar Demon….."
Marcus felt alarmed when seeing this great beast once again, remembering it well and did not want to see this demons face again. He will feel frightened after the last encounter with this Baalgar Demon before, because of what he did, he opened the door and he came right into the arena to face this beast again. This would become his biggest fight yet as the Baalgar Demon finally awoken from its sleep, raising its head up and looking straight towards Marcus, causing him to stop when he thought of moving away but notices it is moving. The Baalgar Demon will rise up off its throne, standing tall and ready to face him. This Baalgar Demon almost looks identical to the one Doom fought on Mars, the only thing that is different is that this demon does not have a cannon and a cybernetic leg, making it a Harbinger of Doom and not a Cyberdemon.
The Baalgar Demon will let off a loud roar at Marcus before attacking; Marcus quickly prepares for a fight by aiming his plasma rifle at it, switching to its secondary fire and fires two energy rounds through the chest. The Baalgar Demon will move towards Marcus but appears to be slow, Marcus did notice that its right arm engulfs in yellowish flames, getting bigger by the second and once ready, it threw it across the room, creating a massive explosion on impact. Marcus will go rolling out of the way then takes out another bomb from his back, throwing it towards the Baalgar Demon and hitting it in the left arm. The explosion was big but it only damaged the demon a little, seeing it coming out of the smoke and swinging its right arm through the air, creating a horizontal energy wave towards Marcus. He saw it on time and jumps in the air, firing his plasma rifle at the demon but was not slowing it down as it moves closer to him, swinging its right arm down at him and slamming its fist to the ground but missed him. Marcus will move to the side while firing his plasma rifle at the demon, soon to stop when the demon hits him with its other arm, sending him flying back and smacking against the wall.
Marcus was down for the time being while the Baalgar Demon stalks its prey, once Marcus raise his head up he will have his hand over the visor, seeing a serious crack on his visor, knowing it's about to break soon. The Baalgar Demon will soon attack him by moving both arms in front of it, swinging both arms at the same time and sending both energy waves straight at him, all he could do is roll out of the way. He almost took the hit of that attack but he got out of there on time, still holding onto his plasma rifle and quickly takes aim, soon to fail when the demon finally ends this fight. The demon got closer to Marcus and ends this with its right arm blade stabbing through his chest, impaling his body and lifting him up in the air, moving him closer to the Baalgar Demon so it could look at Marcus face to face.
Doom finally jumps into this fight while the Baalgar Demon was busy with Marcus, throwing these two demon grenades on the ground in front of the demon, exploding in these red blasts, hitting the leg of the demon. He charges in after that and started firing his rockets at the demon, causing the demon to back away and sent Marcus flying, crashing him onto the ground and leaving him there while it turns towards Doom now. He will switch to the demon plasma rifle he took from a dead demon soldier, since his rocket launcher ran out of rockets; he throws it away and starts running sideways while firing these red energy rounds at the demon. The demon will swing its arm to send another horizontal energy wave at Doom, only to miss him while he keeps running sideways while shooting. He will drop his gun after running out of ammo, drawing out two demon handguns and starts running backwards, shooting these large red energy blasts at the demon while it pursues him. The Baalgar Demon will swing both arms forward to send two energy waves at him, only to miss when he jumps higher in the air while continue shooting. He lands back on the ground and runs at the demon, switching to the super shotgun and starts shooting closer to it to deal more damage, firing four times at it before stopping. The demon will try to grab him when he got closer but failed, knowing that is what it was going to do so he jumps back and fires one more before switching to the flaming sword. He jumps on the arm before the demon moved it away, using it as a boost to jump high enough to stab his sword through the mouth of the demon, sending it collapsing back onto the ground with Doom standing on top of it.
Doom stands in triumph over the fall of the Baalgar Demon, winning this fight but before he got off it, he fired one more time through the head with his super shotgun, blasting its head off to make sure it does not come back up again. He will leave the sword and jumps off the demon before it disintegrates, switching back to his two handguns from before and walks over to Marcus. He was just lying there on the ground, having his body turn to the side towards him, as he wanted to see the fight from where he is. Doom was too late to reach him however, he died before he got to him, dying right after he killed the Baalgar Demon, never had time to say his last words to him, ending his life here in a place like this.
Doom crouches down and looks down at him, moving his body so his front could face the ceiling. He got a look at the hole through his chest then looks towards his helmet, seeing it covered in blood, as he must have been coughing out blood before. Doom moved his hand over the visor then shakes his head then got up off the ground; holding onto his super shotgun then walks over to grab his plasma rifle, still intact and usable for him to continue. He will leave Marcus' body behind while he leaves the room, leaving this area and continue his extermination on the demons inside this place.
