Again I'm terribly sorry for the long update, its mostly because school and other stuff is getting in the way and its barely leaving me any time to write, but now summer vacation is upon us which will leave me more time to write, so without further ado here's chapter 7.

And again I don't own both Doom or Mass Effect, Doom belongs to Id Software and Mass Effect belongs to Bioware

Chapter 7

"Ow, shit that hurts." Marlowe said painfully

Marlowe was currently sitting to his back against the wall trying to patch up a rather deep cut he received from one of those gray creatures; he cursed himself for using up the medigel that he had on his damn cheek.

"Marine what's your status over?" Marlowe gave off an annoyed sigh, didn't this guy have any other marines to talk to.

"Reporting in sir." Marlowe said "currently trying to patch myself up."

"Marine this isn't the time for slacking, pick up the pace." Kelly said

"If I had a credit chit for every time you said pick the pace…" Marlowe said under his breathe

"What was the soldier?" Kelly asked

"Nothing sir, just talking to myself." Marlowe said, finally getting the bandage over the cut "Finally, glad I had this on me."

"Marine, have you encountered any Cerberus personnel at all recently." Kelly asked, Marlowe gave a confused look. Did he just say Cerberus was here?

"What do you mean by Cerberus personnel sir?" Marlowe asked

"Well I just wanted to ask because I saw two Cerberus shuttles land and its occupants leave and enter the base, I couldn't see who got off because the damn cameras went static."

Great, Marlowe thought. Just great, first these weird zombie like creatures, now Cerberus? What next a resurrected Saren?

"No sir I haven't seen or encountered anyone who looks there with Cerberus over." Marlowe said

"Alright keep your eyes open, Kelly out."

Marlowe sighed to himself and got up.

This sure is one hell of a first day; he thought to himself and moved on.

"Well Shepard, what do you think?" Garrus asked

"What do I think Garrus?" Shepard said "I think this starting to turn into a waste of time."

Shepard and his team had been wandering around Mars City for about ten minutes, running into locked door after locked door and not a sign of life in sight. Was Anderson just being paranoid? But I guess Shepard couldn't blame him, after the whole blowing up the Mass Relay and killing thousands of Batarians incident he caused, anything that looked like an attack near earth would put a man like him on edge.

"I'm curious why we haven't seen anyone yet." Tali said

"Maybe they all took a sick day." Zaeed suggested

"Well I'm agreeing on Shepard." Jack said "This is turning into a big fucking waste of time and I think we should-"

"Shit guys what are you doing?!" a voice shouted behind a nearby door

"Quiet!" Shepard whispered, as him and his team advanced on the door and it slowly opened, inside they saw two UAC guards dragging a male Turian by his arms and the slamming him hard against the wall.

"Guys it's me Darak why are you-"but before he could say another word, the two guards unloaded their guns on the Turian and even after he fell to the ground they continued. After their guns went dry they stopped and reloaded

"What the hell?" Shepard said under his breath. Then across the room another guard walked in, this one was Turian. He noticed Shepard and his team on the other side and alerted his comrades to their presence, instantly they all opened fire on Shepard's team and they both sides got in to cover.

"Why in the hell are they shooting at us?!" Zaeed shouted over the gun fire.

"We'll worry about that later, return fire!" Shepard shouted. His team returned fire on the hostile guards.

The guards were no match for Commander Shepard and his team and were quickly taken care. After the chaos was all settled, Shepard and his team slowly advanced on there enemies' position, behind where there opposers where hiding they saw two of the guards gone and one was turning in to ash.

"What. The. Fuck." said Jack.

"I was originally going to ask why the UAC's own guards were shooting at us and killing that Turian, but this changes the whole subject." said Miranda.

"Something tells me this isn't the Batarians work." said Garrus.

"No shit Garrus." Jack shot at him. Garrus growled under his breath.

"Focus people, we still need to find out what's going on, let's move out." Shepard declared as his team went on.

"I wonder Jacobs's team is doing." Garrus wondered

Next chapter,

Jacob's team encounters the undead, and Marlowe has a dandy time with some Imps.
