[center][h2][b][color=39b54a]Doomguy[/color] - [color=ed1c24]Hell[/color] --> [color=00aeef]UAC Facility[/color] (Prologue)[/b][/h2][/center] [center][hider=Visual of Prior Events] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaJgr-S02f0[/youtube] [/hider][/center] As the fallen Spider Mastermind growls in a bloody defeat, Doomguy wastes no opportunity then to smash open her lower jaw with his mighty boot and lifts the top of her maw with his massive hand. Then, he violently shoves the BFG-9000 down her throat as he begins to activate the weapon with it's sheer plasmetic power. The powerless monster who was once known as Oliva Pierce is forced to look upon in horror as she accepts the fate bestowed on her as the weapon fires with a crackling release. The gun was so powerful as to literally punch a massive rift through her head, leaving nothing more but a gory mesh of brain matter in it's wake. The demon monstrosity was finally taken down, the one who unleashed the demons back at the UAC facility on Mars, the one that Samuel Hayden, the head of the UAC, had ordered Doomguy to take down. He then suddenly feels himself being pulled upwards as the tether system begins to drag him back from this hell dimension and back into the real world... When he arrives however, he is greeted in a rather dark room, with a narrow, open passage way in front of him, with sparks of blue light and smoke covering what was left of the UAC facility. Yellow streaks of light illuminated the path as the giant robot, Samuel Hayden, slowly walks down it, it's blue streak of light coming down from his head getting closer and closer, bit by bit. [color=00aeef][b]"You've won -"[/b][/color] he states nonchalantly as he continues walking forward, [color=00aeef][b]"It's over. You've stopped the invasion and closed the portal."[/b][/color] He then issues a quick pause, as if he was regretting something. [color=00aeef][b]"But it's come at a price - Argent, VEGA. This entire operation."[/b][/color] Dr. Hayden then looks ominously down at the Doomguy, as he towers over him. [color=00aeef][b]"You see, I've watched your work - come to understand your motivation. 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."[/b][/color] Hayden then opens his right hand and gravitates to crucible from Doomguy's hand right into his, crackling with red electricity, a feat Doomguy hasn't seen from him. [color=00aeef][b]"But with this..."[/b][/color] he states as his hand points to it's direction, [color=00aeef][b]"We can continue our work."[/b][/color] The massive robot then looks back at Doomguy. [color=00aeef][b]"I am not the villain in this story."[/b][/color] he explains, [color=00aeef][b]"I do what I do because there is no choice."[/b][/color] Just then, a female robotic voice can be heard announcing something. [i][color=0072bc]'Re-rotuing tether coordinates... complete.'[/color][/i] Doomguy's fists began to clench, already knowing what's going on, and while he'd love to punch Hayden in the face, he simply couldn't move, as if a telekinetic force was holding him back. [color=00aeef][b]"Our time is up."[/b][/color] Hayden says, looking at Doomguy, [color=00aeef][b]"I can't kill you - but I won't have you standing in our way."[/b][/color] With that, the crucible then ignites what appears to be a sinister looking weapon, a sword and double pick-axe hybrid, made of a red forcefield, with lines of demonic text and red electrical lightning covering the weapon. [color=00aeef][b]"Until we see each other again..."[/b][/color] was the last thing Doomguy heard until he was pulled away by the tether, separating he and Hayden dimensions apart. [hr][hr] [center][h2][b][color=39b54a]Doomguy[/color] - Gourd Lake[/b][/h2][/center] The next thing Doomguy knows, he lands in what appears to be on the muddy shores of a lake to his left, with a forest to the right. He was completely expecting to land right back in Hell, simply to rot or once again roam the plains killing demons left and right, not in some place like this. Then again, it was rather peaceful, with birds chirping nearby, the sounds of water coming from the lake, it was rather peaceful.... yet so familiar at the same time. Regardless, now it wasn't the time to sight see. He was already pissed off at Samuel Hayden for backstabbing him in the back, even though he figured this would happen. He needs to find a way out of here and to head back to his dimension and fulfill his ravenous hatred. First things first, what does he have currently? What weapons, supplies, etc. Doomguy checks the equipment stash from his helmet's dossier, hoping all of his weapons are still around. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Most of his weapons had seemingly vanished after being tethered to this location. However, there were still some items left with him. His trusty plasma pistol was there, his combat shotgun that he loves to use, a Heavy Assault Rifle, his chainsaw (surprisingly), a few frag grenades, and some med kits. He wasn't that bad off after all. Regardless, he needs to keep moving. He looks around the far edges on the opposite side of the lake and happens to see a clearing that has a camp, a road, and a small building with a dock. Perhaps Doomguy can get some more supplies from there, hopefully some new weapons, but also medkits and maybe some food. He hasn't eaten for god knows how long... [hr][hr] [center][h2][b][color=black]Bayonetta[/color] - [color=39b54a]Hyrule Fields[/color][/b][/h2][/center] A flash of blue light can be seen from the sky as a streak of light flies with blinding speed above the plains of Hyrule. The light would zip in a loop until eventually loose speed and eventually crashes into the grassy plains below. But hidden from within the aura, a female figure emerges as she grinds herself to a halt, kicking up dirt and dust in the process. It was none other then a famous umbra witch known as Bayonetta. And what could she possibly be doing here now? In fact, how the hell did she get here? [color=black][b]"Awww,"[/b][/color] the witch sighs to herself as she dusts off her clothes, [color=black][b]"Did playtime have to end so soon? Bully for them, I was just getting started..."[/b][/color] She then takes a good look at her surroundings. [color=black][b]"But where am I...?"[/b][/color] she asks herself, [color=black][b]"This doesn't look like Paradiso at all... let alone Inferno or anywhere on Earth. Where the bloody hell did that Lumen Sage teleport me to?"[/b][/color] Indeed, before she was teleported here, Bayonetta was simply going on another hunting quench, killing and slaying Angels with glee. Of course, this couldn't be said that she needs to kill angels everyday or otherwise Inferno will drag her down to hell and fulfill the contract with her and her fellow demons. So she was killing these Angels in a New York church, when suddenly she was confronted by a Lumen Sage. The two fought fought lightning fast speed and precision, until suddenly, while she was leaping towards it, Bayonetta got hit with an energy blast to her side and found herself teleported to his place in a mere instant. The witch simply shrugs at this predicament, as if this was a regular Monday morning, and begins walking amongst the luscious plains of Hyrule. She then sees a small town or castle in the distance. [b][color=black]"Maybe that town over there can provide me with some answers..."[/color][/b] she wonders as she continues heading towards its direction. She seems to be unaware that a certain someone had a worse crash-landing than her's several tens of meters away...
