When It's Over

     After Doomguy shut down The Well, closed the portal on Mars, and blew the Spider Mastermind's brain to gooey bits he was confused about what to do next. That is until the tether system was activated and he got pulled back to Mars.

     The first thing he noticed was that he couldn't move, the tether trapped him in place. The second thing he noticed was that Dr. Samuel Hayden was walking out of the shadows towards him. He never liked Hayden, he always thought he was crazy like Olivia Pierce, even though he was a robot which he still didn't really understand.

     As Hayden walked towards him he got angry at him because he was the only who could use the tether to hold him still.

     "You've won - its over. You stopped the invasion and closed the portal. But it's come at a price - Argent, VEGA. This entire operation. You see I've watched you work - come to understand your motaviation." Said Hayden. But Doomguy couldn't care less much less pay attention to what Hayden was saying as he was staring into his slit-like eye, because all he could think about was turning him into a scrap pile.

     "You think the only way is to kill them all - leave nothing behind - and you may be right. But we can't just shut it all down. Without Argent Energy it will be worse. I don't expect you to agree." Doomguy was now seething with rage which only multiplied tenfold as Hayden ripped the Crucible from his grasp.

     "But with this we can continue our work" Hayden continued while he gazed the Crucible, fathoming at the powers they could pull from it, maybe even as much as they pulled from the Helix Stone. Doomguy was still trying to break out of the tether prison, but still to no avail.

     "I am not the villain in this story. I do what I do because there is no choice." Hayden said forcefully.

     "Rerouting tether coordinates...complete." Notified the computer. But in his haste Hayden had started putting in the coordinates in manually, before Doomguy had returned, and even though he is a robot, his mind was created from a human. And like humans often do he made a mistake.

     "Our time is up." Hayden simply stated. Doomguy had because of his failure decided to stop trying to break free, and instead started to listen to what Hayden, and more specifically the computer were saying. Once he heard the computer he was actually nervous, because in his mind he knew he would be sent back to hell, but this time with no way back. While he did think it would be fun for a while as it often is, he knew he would eventually run out of ammo and die.

     "I can't kill you - but I won't have you standing in our way." Hayden said as he activated the crucible in a new, different way. Instead of just the small blades coming of it, a large Argent blade came from it which split into two spikes sticking out to the sides at the top. The blade was also covered from top to bottom in runes from Hell.

     "Until we see each other again." 'Yeah' Doomguy thought 'Because I'm gonna rip you apart, then put you back together, then rip you apart again.' But before he could continue his murderous thoughts he felt the tether system activating. But before it reached full power his armor blared warnings on his HUD, and the VEGA backup chip he had installed in his armor had told him that it was malfunctioning. He then felt like he was being ripped apart from the inside. He felt like him arms were ripped off and then shoved back in place, to put it lightly he was in an excruciating amount of pain, and subsequently blacked out.

     Dr. Hayden also heard the computer notify him of a malfunction. He got one last look at the Doom Marine. "Hmm, suppose we won't then." And continued to walk away. Thinking of hundreds of new ways he could use the Crucible for "the betterment of humanity". But in his mind there was a small part the knew, eventually, he would have to deal with the Doom Marine, and that he would need an army to do it.
