DOOM: Hoof-Deep in the Dead

E1M2

The transportation elevator-tram-thing grinds to a hault at its next destination. The elevator's control panel reads "Nuclear Plant" in a yellow, bold font. The doors stall before they compleately open. The Doompony is prepared for his next task: fight his way through the nuclear plant. He does not know what lies beyond the plant, but it's probably just more demons. The doors slide open, revealing a large room with a smaller room in the center. A small set of stairs go up to a small hall, which leads to a few computers on the far end of the room. A number of monitors and other technology line the walls of the hallway, which probably shown the status of this sector before the invasion.

In the silence, the Doompony hears something faint. Something evil. Some sort of creature snarls loudly, letting the marine know that he is still not alone. He looks to his left, and then to his right, watching the passageways for any zombies or imps. For a time, there is nothing. Only silence, but the silence is not without it's noise. The marine perks up his ears and listens. He can hear the shuffling of hooves approaching. Slowly, a zombie starts walking across the corridor. It stops, starts sniffing the air for fresh meat, and then looks towards the marine. The Doompony just smiles and centers his weapon on the target; he shoots the 12-guage straight into the torso of the fiend, striking it down almost instintaniously.

The shots thunderously echo throughout the room, obviously going to attract more attention. Like clockwork, another zombie appears on the far end of the room, down the computer-lined hallway, and starts making a charge for the marine. The Doompony just waits. He waits until the beast is close enough to strangle. The zombie runs like a limp animal trying to get away from something much larger than itself. It's distubing to watch--blood covering the floor with each meaty beat of the hooves. The zombie is within munching distance; it opens it's mouth wide, showing it's fang-like teeth--broken and bloodied. The Doompony grins yet again, and frontward-bucks the motherfucker in the teeth. The small chips fly out of the zombie's mouth, some stabbing through the cheek by the force, and the zombie falls with a loud screech. The voice of the creature is loud, like a mule's.

The Doompony continues into the room, and down the computer hallway. As he walks in, he finds a small storage room open to his left--and in it--some shells, clips, and a stimpack. (which he places in his saddlebag) Satisfied with his findings, he leaves forward down the hall and starts moving to his left again. He finds that the passageway to his left wraps--possibly same for the right--around the smaller room and back to where he began, which eliminates the chances of a sneak attack. While going left, the marine encounters a door, with a keycard swiper on the right of it. On it, it says in red script: "MAIN POWER: REQUIRES RED KEYCARD" Dammit! the marine thinks to himself, he needs to find that keycard.

The marine decides to turn back around and head the other direction. On the other side of the room, he finds two doors that stand tall, both on opposite sides of eachother. He walks up to the door on the right and opens it. He is met with an upward ramping tunnel, with a long window--viewing outside--streaching across the right side. The tunnel is dimmly lit and curves to the left. The Doompony follows the tunnel and finds himself face-to-face with an imp. It lunges forward, scratching his stomach and causing slight bloodloss. The marine swears outloud. He then retaliates, firing upon the demon with shotgun-fueled rage. Another bloody victory. He walks into the room at the end of the tunnel--a central computer room. On a table in the room, as half-expected, a keycard lays.

That wasn't too hard, the Doompony thinks to himself, all he has to do now is just walk back to that red door. He goes down the other tunnel leading down, seeing where it leads. It just leads back into the central room he started in, through the door he didn't go through. Pretty obvious that taking either door would lead him to the same place. The Doompony slowly gallops to the red keycard door and slides the card in the slot. "OPEN" appears onscreen, and the Doompony takes time to make sure he's ready to kill. The green marine loads up his pistol, double checks his buckshot, and cracks his neck. He quickly slams his hoof on the button and the door opens. As it does, the pony bites down on his mouthpiece, firing his shotgun and hitting a barrel of waste--which explodes. The sounds of meat tearing from explosion are echoed throughout the halls and into the ears of the marine. Beautiful.

He sees the carnage in which he had caused. Two zombies and an imp lay broken and splayed all over the floor. If these were ponies, he would feel remorse. Maybe even sadness! But lucky from him, they aren't ponies. They are filthy demons.

The Doompony quits his thoughts and trots down the hall, and starts to go up a flight of stairs. He hears the growls and moans of demons and zombie ponies as he approaches the top of the stairs. The badass marine readies his weapon, strafes around the corner, and blasts his weapon with furious rage.

Each shot that is fired from the deadly weapon penitrates at least one foe. The zombies and imps are groups tightly together, as if in some sort of meet-up. The zombies screetch as their skin tears, and the imps seem to be just fine. The spiked demons start lobbing deadly fireballs, which nearly hit the Doompony--only burning some unneeded hair. The marine, fueled with no such pity, fires his shotgun yet a second time. The projectiles ejected from the weapon hit a few zombies mid-leap as they gallop down the stairs, causing them to tumble down in the flight--breaking bones followed. Blood runs thick as the Doompony fires a few more shots into the remaining demon-ponies.

Striking down yet another group of demonic foes, the awesome demon-slayer continues to the top of the stairs and into the next room. The next room is tinted green, probably due to a crap ton of radioactive goop everywhere. This is one of the many radioactive sludge storage rooms, the facility will turn this stuff into power for the rest of the station on Hars. The catwalk above the green slime is zig-zagged, leading to an small maintenance elevator. The Doompony looks over the railing, seeing the short drop into a radioactive grave. Imagine what it would feel like to fall in there. Your skin slowly melting from the intense heat englufing the body like a filly in a bathtub; the emense pain for what would seem like hours, maybe even days! The carcuss that is your own being ate away by some type of foriegn material. The Doompony almost cringes. Almost.

The Doompony walks to the end of the catwalk and stands on the elevator. The marine activates it. It brings him down to a power generator room--which is strangely quiet and filled with demons no doubt. The demons were basically waiting for him, but the marine isn't caught off-guard. He simply lines up his targets and bites down tightly on the mouthpiece mechanism. The buckshot fires like lightning, and penetrates nicely through the imps, flying through them and hitting the zombies in line behind them. Blood splurts and chunks of meat fly beautifully behind the wounds of the demons. The Doompony wastes no time taking out the zombie ponies on the catwalks to the left and right, they didn't have enough time to pick up their own weapons.

The marine pauses before advancing, to take in the carnage. This is like a game to him, crushing the skulls of demonic foes under his hoof. His green armor now resembling Christmas spirit and deep gashes across his forehooves. His eyes filled with joy like that of a small child. How can such a stallion feel so much joy in a place filled with darkness, Hell, and death? Some say his sanity isn't quite right, other say he simply goes into his happy place during these times. No one knows what this "happy place" is, but it must be something pretty damn happy to block all the batshit insane surroundings that he had delt with in the past.

I wanna go on the ships daddy...

The marine stops his reflections and continues to a computer terminal. A dead scientist lays over the terminal, splayed open and still oozing fresh blood. The carcuss is looking straight up at the marine, but the cold-as-stone stallion just pushes the body aside and activates the console. The sounds of a door unlocking, followed by the sliding of a door echoing through the room. The marine wastes no time going through the door and down the hall. Another door yet stands, marked with a note in blood. "DO NOT OPEN... THE GODESSES HAVE ABANDONED US!" The sight of a note like this would make any pony leave with disgust in their stomachs--but not this one. The marine opens the door and, without hesitation, bites down on his mouthpiece. Before applying the last strain of pressure to fire, the Doompony stops... there's nothing there. He walks into the dimly lit room, waiting as if for an attack to sneak up on him.

With nothing in sight, the Doompony decides to start the elevator. The elevator starts it's rusty grind down the shaft, and for a moment, the marine thinks he hears a clatter up above. The noise is loud, and as the elevator continues it's decent, the decent is abruptly haulted. The elevator just stops, lights and all. The marine quickly flips on his shoulder maglight and looks around the elevator booth. Up, on the ceiling, is a hole. A hole that shows the darkness of the elevator shaft. A growl emanates from the dark void, as if on cue with the meeting of the stallion's eyes. For a short time, there is nothing, but the growl yelps out once more as an imp drops into the room. It kicks the Doompony down with it's powerful hindlegs and stares over the marine with evil intent in its deep, black eyes. Just before the imp bites down on the food layed infront of it, the Doompony makes evasive action. He rolls over to a prone position, almost having a set of chompers in his face. The marine gets back up as fast as he can and bucks at the beast. He hits the thing in the chest, sending it onto it's back. The stallion walks next to the beast and looks down upon it. It looks back up into the brown eyes of the marine, seeing the face of an evil greater than the greatest of Hells.

The beast stops its struggles, and accepts its fate...

The elevator starts back up.
