After a bit of a struggle and some assistance from a V.I., the marine managed to patch the doctor up. He was still unconscious, but the marine managed to put him in a room with a terminal. While waiting for doctor to wake up(if he was going to), the marine decided to see if the terminal could help him out. He started looking through more video feeds from the security cameras and found a gore nest with a Mancubus standing next to it. He saw several Revenants walk into the room, two of them carrying Octavia and Vinyl Scratch. 'Motherfuckers should have worn their brown pants.' the marine thought as he balled his hands into fists. He could see that both of them were terrified and shaking. Their eyes were shut, and they kept their heads down.

He found a few more files, including a message from the outside. They were trying to see if anyone was still alive. The marine sent a response through his PDA and established a link. He soon heard a voice of another marine. "Alright, marine. If I've heard right, you're the only one combat effective in there. We need you to get the fuck out so Celestia can work her magic." he said. The marine sent a message with his PDA: "Not yet. Friendlies need evac and zone is still hot." then waited for a reply. "Okay. Do what you have to, but get out soon, we have word they're trying to break out through the lower levels and the roof." he said.

The doctor stirred on the nearby table. Doomguy looked over at him. 'You better not be possessed.' he thought. The doctor looked around and saw the marine. "Oh, you have no idea how glad I am you're here." he said. He tried to sit up, but fell back down and looked where his arm used to be. His eyes widened and he screamed. The marine didn't try to stop him, he knew that losing limbs wasn't a pleasant experience. Neither was looking at where it used to be and finding a bandaged stump.

After the doctor stopped screaming, he decided to try and introduce himself. "I'm doctor Louie Hayward. Thanks for bringing me back to the land of the living." he said. The marine nodded. "Do you have a plan to get us out of here?" he asked. The marine pointed to the screen of the terminal. Doctor Hayward got up and walked over to stand right behind the marine. He looked at the terminal in disbelief. "No fucking way." he said when he saw Vinyl and Octavia. The Mancubus was looking at them in a way the marine didn't like one bit. He was going to enjoy blasting his guts all over a wall.

The doctor looked at the marine and thought that he understood what he wanted to do. "You're gonna get them out first, aren't you?" he asked. The marine nodded. "Should I just wait here?" he asked. The marine led him behind the table and pointed on the ground. "You want me to wait?" he asked. The marine gave him the thumbs up, then made the shushing gesture. "I won't leave the room. But if it means getting out of here sooner, I'll help." said Louie. The marine gave him the thumbs up, then made to leave the room. Louie looked through some drawers and found a headset. He plugged it into the terminal and started talking the marine Doomguy had talked to earlier.

The marine didn't even try to be quiet as he ran through the hallways. Occasionally, he would run into a Pinky or an Imp, and he would blast them with one of his shotguns, or knock them off their feet and curbstomp them. Each of their skulls made a satisfying crunch as he brought a boot down on them. He thought about removing an eyeball from the bottom of his boots, but left it for him to crush and grind it into paste. He thought it might add character.

As he went down several levels, he saw a notification on his HUD saying that he had a new message on his PDA. He pulled it out and read: "If what I have heard is true, then you are trying to rescue two ponies from the clutches of demons. Know that I appreciate the gesture, and you will be rewarded for your efforts. I know you can do it." before he could confirm who it was from, he heard growling form the flight of stairs directly below him.

He readied his super shotgun, leaned over the railing, then shot the Pinky in the head. The head and a good chunk of its shoulders splattered onto the the floor and wall, vertebrae exposed and going limp with the rest of the body. The marine reloaded, then attempted to jump down and use the railings as hand holds.

He almost missed the first one, got the second one, and was attacked by a Revenant in mid-air. It fired rockets which hit the marine, then jumped to try and grab him. He grunted in pain, then threw the demon around him. His armor barely compensated when his back slammed into a railing and bounced off. 'I need to slow the fuck down.' he thought. The Revenant didn't give up and had jumped after him. The ground was coming up fast, and he was sure that his armor wouldn't be able to absorb the impact. 'This might hurt.' he thought.

He reached out a actually managed to grab a railing. He heard a crack and gritted his teeth to stifle the groan of pain. The Revenant started to scream, but it was interrupted when he landed at the bottom of the stairs face-first. The marine could hear bones crunch and wet flesh smack into the steel. 'Or whatever metal this place is made out of.' he thought.

He pulled himself up and grunted in pain as his arm protested. His armor told him that his arm had pulled out of place and would need to be put back in. 'This is gonna suck.' he thought. Rather than pull back into place like other people might do, he decided to half-punch, half-lean on a wall hard enough to shove it back in.

It worked, he reloaded his super shotgun, then continued on his way.
