FIGHT LIKE HELL, FIGHT LIKE DOOM MARINES!

Ch.1: Reawakening Retribution...

(Prologue...)

Why... Why was I even in here? Why were me and my friends send here for? Besides the killing of Demons and saving the day. Was there a better reason? I don't think I'll ever find out the answer to those questions, that I keep asking myself over and over again.

Back then, before all of this crazy shitstorm, there was me, and my four best friends. Brothers even. But you were probably expecting that. Anyway, we were getting ready for this year's Convention Center. Before we could though, one of my friends suggested this shop that opens up for these kinds of events. Saying that it has many props, of High-Quality material, for a pretty good reasonable price.

Even though it was run by a shady character, known simply as 'The Merchant'.

Anyway, grabbing just a couple of things, from a certain game. We each gotten a pendant of Power-ups from the new DOOM, and a gun each. I had the Berserker power-up, along with the Heavy Assault Rifle. The second got the Haste power-up, while having the Combat Shotgun in hand. Third, Invulnerability and Super Shotgun. Fourth, Quad-damage with a Plasma Rifle. And lastly, Invisibility with the Vortex Rifle, which both were from the Multiplayer.

The purchase for these only costed us like Sixty dollars each, which was a sweet deal. Unfortunately, little did we know, that this wasn't your average shop. Nor was anything inside average. At first, nothing bad has happened to us, until it came right before we entered on through the entrance of the Convention Center. All five of us were flinged through Time and Space, not knowing how this happen, or what's gonna happen to us next. But another flashing light blinded us until we past out from it.

Soon, we woke up to find ourselves in another plane of existence... As Doom Marines. Knowing we were fully outfitted with the Praetor suit, it came to us as a surprise. We had all the weapons, all the gear, all the upgrades, everything! Well, almost everything. But it didn't matter.

Selecting the weapons we wanted to use, we were in some kind of forest. Scanning our way through was no easy feat, but we somehow managed. Eventually we came face-to-face with the inhabitants of this new world: Ponies. Unfortunately, they mistook us for Demons, and tried to kill us. The only thing we could do, without killing these guys, was to run and dodge them.

Although the real Demons did pop out, and ambushed the ponies. Being Doom Marines, we did what the Doomguy himself would have done: Fight and Kill them. After showing our prowess and effectiveness, the ponies we rescued gave us their thanks... Only to bring us in as prisoners. After explaining ourselves to their King and Queen, they locked us up. They couldn't take any of our weapons, whether physically or magically. So that's good. After some needed debating, they decided to have us on their side in this war with the Demons.

Upon which, we Doom Marines simply dubbed: The Hell Wars.

But after winning it all, we went on different missions: Hunt Down the remnants of Demons left in the Physical Realm. Going our separate ways, we tracked and killed those left from the war. We couldn't risk another incursion from them. Finishing up, I was the only one to return from my mission, and after two days of waiting, the others have not yet return.

Tracking down there last known locations, I found many dead, but none of my brothers were anywhere in sight. Not even among the dead.

And now we come to where I was now trapped in. After returning back, Celestia, the eldest of the two Princesses, and daughter of the late King and Queen, thought I was planning something sinster. Thinking I was a threat, she tricked me and sealed me away in the same tombstone as on the game.

She was always too rash in her plans and decisions, hence the reason why we could never connect with her, because she still believe us as Demons. Unlike her younger sister, Luna, she always do the most stupidest things. Such as now, sealing my tomb away, underneath rock and earth. She stripped me of my arms and sealed them in another room, somehow.

Now I await here, bound, like some animal. Just waiting to be released from here. Soon though, I drifted off to sleep. I would sometimes wake up, only to see that I'm still locked up, and then fall back to sleep.

One day, one day they'll have need of me again. I just hope little Tia has an excuse for why she did this, and it better be a real good one, too...

(10,000 years later. Princess Celestia, Canterlot Castle under siege...)

"This is not going well." I whispered. Sometime ago, Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, came back to Equestria. Not for war, but to warn us about the coming war, with another Changeling Hive. This Hive belonged to her older sister, Cocoon, who is notorious among her own kind, beyond redemption.

Chrysalis came to us, along with her Hive, because Cocoon tried the kill her, and her Hive. The only reason why she invaded was because she was tricked, as Cocoon was planning on assassinating her after she claimed Equestria. Such a nefarious deed.

Right now? We were under attack. We've held out for as long as we can, thanks to our combined forces. But we were slowly driven back by Cocoons Hive, their forces seemingly overpowering us. This has been going on for days, and we are running out of options here.

The battle now took place within the castle grounds. Alongside me were my sister Luna, Chrysalis, and the Elements.

"Where is Cadence and Shining Armour? They should have been here by now, or before the battle started!" Twilight questioned.

"Cocoon must have send forces their way. After witnessing my defeat at the hands of those two, she doesn't want a repeat of that happening to her." Chrysalis summarised. "That said, she has cut us all off from receiving reinforcements."

"We won't survive this." Luna spoke. "Will we?"

"Not unless you're thinking about giving up." Chrysalis answered her firmly. "I'm not sure if the Elements of Harmony will do it this time. Cocoon plans for everything, and I mean everything. She's always hatching a plan. No pun intended." She finished off with a snort.

"But, we have to try!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Yeah! Ain't no psycho got anything on the Elements of Harmony!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"But she ain't lyin' 'bout he sister having plans. What if she got something on her that WILL stop us!?" Applejack stated.

While they were conversing among each other, I was busy arguing with myself, upon a decision I must make.

"Sister? What are you thinking?" Pulling me from my bemusing, Luna asked, as she placed a hand my shoulder.

"You are distress about something. As if whether or not you should consider it plausible." Chrysalis also caught onto it. Not surprising, seeing as Changeling can feel emotions.

Sighing, I look at them all. "I may have an idea."

Hearing this, the girls stopped on what they were doing and listened in.

"There may be a way to turn the tide of this war." I explained to them. "But, in order to do so, we need you girls to do this."

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"Follow me." I said urgently as we made our way through the halls. Reaching the Throne room, I opened up doors and step inside, the room was used for planning and such. Now though, it was a makeshift hospital. We lost almost half of the castle grounds, during the last couple of days. Walking up to the thrones, I used my magic to open up a secret passageway. I care not for those witnessing, they have done so much, they deserve it.

"Okay. How long was that there!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Long enough." I said to her. "Come."

Walking down within, it took us straight to where we can get help. That is, if he's cooperative about it. Although, in all likelihood, I cannot fault him. Reaching upon the only door down here, I unlocked it and open it up. Entering in, the large room lid up, energy surging through again, as the runes started lighting up once more. In the middle of the room, was his tombstone. Within it, himself.

"Um, Princess Celestia?" I heard Fluttershy spoke up.

"Yes?" I turned to her.

"W-why did you brought u-us down here? That is, if you don't mind me asking?" She meekly asked.

"Well..." I was about to answer her, until we hear something explode back up in the Throne room. "Girls, use your Elements upon that tomb!"

"But--!"

"Luna, stay with them! Chrysalis and I will deal with this problem!" She didn't answer me, only staring straight at the tomb. Me and Chrysalis both ran back up the stairs.

Although, Chrysalis was glaring at me, and I knew why. "How could you?"

"Now isn't the time for this." I stated firmly.

"I can't believe you. Doing that to someone I only thought was legend. You locked him up like an animal!" She shouted at me before we reached the top. "What made you commit such an act of betrayal!?"

"Chrysalis, now is really not the-- LOOK OUT!!" Tackling her out of the way, a ball of fire was hurled at us.

"My, my. What have we here~?" Cocoon, she was here. "Two unlikely pair of bickering children."

"Dammit." I cursed under my breath. What's worse, Cocoon wasn't alone. She has about seven soldiers at her side.

Laughing, she placed a hand under her chin, tilting her head slightly to the left. "Well then, shall we~?"

(Twilight Sparkle...)

"Okay. You girls ready?" Placing on our Elements, the girls and I were ready.

"Ready!" Rainbow Dash stated.

"Alrighty then! Let's... Princess Luna?" Applejack spoke. As we wondered what was going on with Luna, we looked back at her, and saw her crying silently.

"Tia.... How could you?" She stuttered.

"Princess?" I called out to her.

"Please, Twilight. Set my friend free." We were all surprised at this.

But before I could ask her anything else.

"Girls, hurry! We need to get the princess's friend out! PRONTO!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. I was hesitant, but seeing Luna crying like that, claiming that her friend from, who knows how long ago, trapped within the tomb. I can't refuse her request.

"Alright, let's save Equestria!" As I said that, we closed our eyes and concentrated, feeling the power of Harmony coursing through us. After building up enough magic, we released it upon the tomb. But in doing so, I don't know why, I just started having this feeling inside me, telling me...to fear? Fear what though??

Before I could ponder on this any further, the tombstone started opening up, only for somepony on the other side to bash it open. Making the lid fall and break apart, which gave us a fright. Looking back to the one who did it, he wasn't what we were all expected at all. Stepping out from the now opened tomb, stood a very large, armored being of unknown origin.

"W... What is that!?"

(???)

Oh man... How long have I been imprisoned inside this damned tombstone? Eons?? Heh! I don't even know why...?

Wait, what is that? Is that light? No, that feels like energy flowing through me. Giving me back my powers. Such a nostalgic feeling. The power to rip and tear through my foes, with glorifying efficiency.

The binds to my hands and feet have gone, and the lid opening up, although a bit too slow for me. Head-butting it open, it fell to the ground and broke.

Taking my first step in a very long time, I stretched out. Working out the muscles for a short while. Although...

"W... What is that!?" I wish I could just enjoy the moment a little longer.

Looking around, I saw six girls surrounding me, all of their reactions varying. Shock, fear, curiosity, disgust, and hatred. Nothing new there.

"Whoa nelly! He's a big fella!"

"H-h-he's n-not going to e-eat us, is he!?"

"Fascinating..."

"Does he like parties!?"

"My word, would you look at that dreadful armour he has!"

"How can we be sure this thing won't turn on us!?"

"SILENCE!!!!!" Soon the room fell silent from that one familiar voice. Looking up ahead, I saw her, that cute little filly girl from all those years ago. Well, she wasn't so little no more. Wait, has she been crying?

Walking up to her fast, she immediately hugged me when I reached her, almost dragging us both to the floor.

"Little Lulu, are you alright?" I asked her, worried about her health.

"It's... It's good to have you back with us, my dearest friend." She sobbed out. "I-I... I though you were... Why?" She sniffles. "Why did sister do this to you!?" Luna tighten her hug, as if fearful of me being taken away from her.

I sighed as I hugged her. "I don't know." I told her honestly. "Your older sister does the stupidest things in life, without realising the vast consequences behind her actions." Running my armoured hand through her hair, she started to calm down a bit.

"She always did jump to conclusions too rashly." Luna commented, which got a chuckle from me. Separating herself from me, she wiped away her tears and put on a serious look. "But enough of that, the castle is currently under siege."

"Great. Not even ten minutes out and already everything's on fire." I groaned at this, shaking my head. "Alright, I'll go get my stuff. Luna, close the door! We'll be taking a detour!" Nodding her head, she ran to the door and closed it off. Walking over to my left, up to a wall, I placed my hand on it and opened up the secret passage way.

"Girls, follow us!" Luna commanded as she fell in step behind me, along with the rest. Travelling through the hallway, we reached my stash of goodies, and by that, I mean my arsenal of badassary!

"Oh good, she didn't get rid of them." I said as I started collecting them all.

"It's not like we could have done so anyway. Remember how hard it was for us to try picking them up?" Luna commented, reminding me about the time they tried to use them. Epic fails all around.

"Oh right! Hell, your magic couldn't teleport them away. They end up landing on top of your heads whenever you tried that." Grabbing the last of my runes, I equipped the three I'll be using for this fight. Rich Get Richer. Savagery. And Armored Offensive.

Yeah, I know, pretty cheap for me to do so. But one can never be too sure, right.

Once done, I went up to another wall and opened it up. But before I could go through, I got kicked from the back by someone. Turning around, it was a blue Pegasus, with a rainbow mane and tail, glaring at me with distrust.

"Okay, that's far enough! You ain't going no further than that!" She - at least, I think it is - demanded of me.

The only response I gave her was the middle finger and continued on. Leaving her dumbfounded. But I did hear someone slapping her across the face, which was probably Luna no doubt. Shrugging this off, I made my way up the stairs and opened up the way into the castle. Only to be greeted with the fallen and debris.

Readying myself, I looked down both ways at the end of the hallway, Heavy Assault Rifle in hand, with the Tactical Scope attachment, pointed ahead of me. Clear for the moment, I waited for the girls to arrive, which didn't take long, thank god. Coming up first was Luna, looking über pissed right now, along with the frighten younglings tailing behind her, with the exception of Skittles holding her right swollen cheek.

Looking at Luna, I asked her. "Sorry for being a pain, but which way was it to the Throne room again?" Yeah, I still can't remember how to get there, hence the reason why I had those passages built in.

"This way." She said and quickly lead the way. I was right beside her, as the girls tried to keep up, making sure not to step on the dead. Me and Luna didn't have to look where we step, but we did had to slow down a bit, hearing fighting around the corner.

Leaning against the wall, I poked my head a bit to see who's where, and what's what. Luckily the Guard was on this side, but they were losing men. On the other side was the enemy, some sort of insect humanoid pony, with holes in their hands and hooves.

"Luna, what are those bug-like things?" I asked her.

"Changelings. But be careful, we have allied ourselves with another Hive." She answered and warned me.

"Okay. Why?"

"Family matters, more or less." She said as she ran out there, with me following closely behind her.

Reaching to them, the one in command saw us. "Princess!"

"Commander, what is the situation!?" She demanded.

"Bad! They cut us off from reaching the Throne room, but how did you-- Who is that!?" He began his report until he notice me behind her.

"Our Salvation." She simply said, as she turned to look at me, a serious expression dawned upon her face. "Go, to battle my Doom Marine!"

Nodding my head at her orders, pure and simple, I ran past them and into the frame. Aiming my gun, I pulled the trigger and let out a hail of bullets, shredding through the unprepared foes, once I was sure I was in front of friendlies. They didn't see it coming, and were quite shocked that I was tearing through their ranks.

On the plus side, these Changelings are pretty distinguishable. The ones I ran through had a bluish/greenish colour on some parts of the body. While the ones I'm currently killing are blood red. I guess it has something to do with their leaders, or something.

Anyway, back to the battle. They got over their shock and charged at me. Switching to my Super Shotgun quickly, and sprayed at least four or five of their teammate's bloody bits all over the place, with each shell fired. Soon they changed tactics and used their magic to take pop-shots at me from a distances. Most of them missed, as I was moving all over the place, while closing in on them. Those that did hit me, just bounced off me, but taking three points each of my armour away. An indication from my HUD, off to the bottom left of my VISOR.

Once I was close enough to one of them, he tried to make a run for it, only to get grabbed at the back of head, by me, and slammed his face into the nearest wall, until not a single trace of that said face was left. Except for that splattered patch of blood on where I performed the Glory-kill. Some of them came charging at me again, so I pulled out the Chainsaw, and started sawing my way through them. They even tried to block it with their swords, which was hilariously futile.

Pushing them back even further, we eventually made it to the Throne room's door. Although, enemy reinforcements were waiting there.

Seeing this, they all grinned, thinking they can take me on now. Well, maybe. If I didn't had that Berserker power-up.

"Hah! Face it creature, we got you this time!" Oh great, here comes the overconfident speeches. Seriously, cliché thing ever. "But! I'm willing to let you live, if you j--"

"Okay, see, I'm gonna have to stop you riiight there." I cut him off, lifting up a finger. "Because I'm about to go berserk on your sorry-ass."

"Wait, wha--?" Again, he couldn't finish his sentence, because I removed his head from his shoulders. Seeing it flying off and over the other side of his comrades, until it landed somewhere. As for the rest of his body, well, it fell apart after that, oddly enough.

Shrugging it off, I ran into the crowd and started killing them like One Punch Man. Except for a few things, but it didn't matter at the moment. These bugs were too scared to do anything really, even if they did try.

"Oh, I feel real good about myself." I commented before ripping another one in half...

(Princess Luna...)

"Um... Princess? With all due respect, ma'am, but are you sure...?"

"This sounds like insubordination." I said to the Commander snidely.

"But your highness, he is turning every last one them into a bloody pile of gory bits!" My Commander shouted. "I mean, look at the state of the castle now! It's going to take some time to clean this up!"

"Well that sounds like it's not my problem! Sister and I just bill you weekly payments!" I snapped at him, folding my arms and letting out a huff. "Besides, we'll be doubling you and every other Guard left the amount you get."

"... Can we choose to send the extra payment towards the Funeral?" He asked and I sighed sadly at this, sagging a bit. Maybe that was a bit selfish of me to say.

"If that is what you all want, then it will be done." I said to him.

"Thank you."

"No. Thank him."

"Um? Excuse me, Lunar Mistress?" I sighed at this, as one of Chrysalis's Changeling soldiers asked me by that title.

"Please, refrain from calling me that, and yes, what is it?" I told him before replying to his question.

"Apologises, Princess, but did you refer to that one..." He pointed out towards my bloodthirsty friend. "As the Doom Marine?"

"Yes, I did." I answered him, which seemed to surprise him and the rest of his brethren.

"B-but! Then that means... He's... He's the Bloody-handed Berserker!" Oh dear, they figured him out.

"Wait a minute, you know what he is?" One of the Guardsponies asked them.

But before any of them could answer that question. "Enough! Now is not the time!" I put a stop to it. "We will answer that, and any other question you wish to be answered, once the battle is over." After that, none of them said anything, falling silent and watched as my Doom Marine slaughtered the last of the enemy stationed here. Guarding it no doubt, I just hope that sister and Chrysalis are holding out alright...

(Now back to the Doom Marine...)

"Okay! That was the last one." I said as I finished off the enemy. "I still got some power left, I'll bust the doors down."

Going up to the large double-door, I tested it for a bit and decided to shoulder-charge through it. Backing up, I readied myself and rammed them open, breaking them off their hinges and falling down.

What I saw inside was worse; the wounded and medical staff were all killed.

"What the--!?" One of the enemy soldiers said as he turned to look at me. Before he could do anything, I shoved my fist through his chest cavity and ripped out a couple of his organs, his body collapsing to the ground, before my Berserker mode finally depleted.

The rest of these asshats saw this and ready themselves. Well, they won't be lasting long. Whipping out my Chaingun, I changed the mod out for the Mobile Turrent. Splitting them into three Tri-barrels, I pulled the trigger and mowed the rest down, until there was nothing left of them.

Switching it out for the Combat Shotgun, I placed the Charged Shot mod on. Walking through the room, I saw Celestia and some other Changeling female, lying there on the ground. Beaten up. Scanning the room, I searched high and low, left and right, for whoever did this. Although, I guess it's clear that it was the enemies leader. But where is she hiding at?

"So you're the one who killed my children." Snapping at where the noise came from, she came out from behind the throne, walking towards me.

"And I suppose you're responsible for killing the defenceless." I said to her.

"Yes, I suppose I am." She said with a smug look on her face. "I couldn't allow them to get back up, they'll be a persistent nuisance otherwise."

"So, what do you want? I'm a little behind on the details about this whole war of yours..." Yeah, if you can even call it that.

She hisses at me for that. "You dare mock me!? Ignorant creature, I will make you learn your place!"

"And where might that be?" I taunted her.

"Underneath my hooves!" With that said, she charges her magical attack, and tries to disintegrate me into dust.

Of course, I kept on moving all over the place. When I was able to get close to her, I aimed at her, and charged up my three shells. Just before I could pull the trigger, she summons up a protective barrier. But it wasn't strong enough to handle my shotgun's Rapid-Fire. With it broke, I tried laying it on her, but she flew away from me.

"Argh! What kind magic is that!?" She hisses.

"This isn't magic." I simply said, swapping out for my Plasma Rifle. Aiming up at her, I used the Stun bomb to paralyse her, making her fall back down to ground floor. Just as I was about to finish the bitch off, I got tackled from the side.

"For Queen Cocoon!" Oh great, it's one of her lackeys. With knife in hand, he raises it and prepares to stab me, only to get the back-hand to the face, and a head-butt to get him off me. Getting up, I grabbed his left leg, twisted it, and used its flat end to crush his skull. Ending his miserable life.

"No! You bastard!" Hearing her scream out, I grabbed my Plasma rifle and started shooting at her. She placed a protective barrier between her and the plasma bolts, but it began to fall apart. In a last ditch effort, she lit the room up, blinding me in the process.

After the whole light show, I felt her punch me, giving me a right hook to the face. Although, what surprised me the most was that, she didn't kill me, right then and there. I mean, she had her chance, so why didn't she take her chance? Hell, she even managed to bring my armour down to sixty-nine percent.

Looking back at her, she was panting hard, trying to get her breathing back.

"You..." She started as I slowly got back up. "Who are you?"

"What does it matter to you? You're a dead one anyway." Pulling my Super Shotgun, I pointed it at her head. Yet, Fate would have its way, as one of her Changelings teleported in front of me, and with blinding speed, I found myself back on my ass, a few feet away from killing her.

"Goddammit..." I groaned out as I leaned up, just in time to see them leaving.

"My children, retreat! We have lost too many! Retreat!" By her command, Cocoons little helper flew her out through a window. Seeing the rest leaving with her.

Falling back down, there was only one word. One word. That came to mind, explaining about what just happened...

"FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

After letting that one out, I breathed in and out for a little while, until I felt a little better afterwords...

"Uh, hey..." And now back to square one.

"Tia, go fuck off somewhere else. You just ruin my moment of peace." I told her off. Not wanting to deal with this now.

"B-but! Can I at least..." She started as I heard her crawl over to me. Waiting for the right moment, I clenched my fist, and back-handed her, square in the face. "OW! My face! Why!?"

"I told you to FUCK OFF! I'm not in the mood!" Bringing my fist back, I just lied there, looking up at the ceiling.

"So, you're the Doom Marine, right?" I heard the Changeling ask me.

"Yeah. And what are you, a fan?" I said to her sarcastically.

"Kind of. I'm Chrysalis."

"Well Chrissy, mind telling me what's that bitches problem is?"

"I do not appreciate that kind of--"

"Want me to kill you instead!?" I growled at her.

"OKAY! Well it's kind of a long story, so I'll try shortening it for you..." Heh! Works every time.

Author's Notes:

So, yeah. Sorry for doing this guys, but playing the game kinda screwed a few ideas inside my head, and I needed them OUT! First time doing this whole Displaced Story thing, not sure how this is gonna turn out though... I'm scared.
