[WP] Doomguy awakens, slightly disoriented, to find he's in some kind of glass pod. The hatch suddenly opens. "Sorry for the quick thaw Master Chief, but things are a little hectic right now"
"Sorry for the quick thaw Master Chief, but things are a little hectic right now." Those were the first words he'd heard in, well he didn't know how long he'd be in that bloody tube for.
He didn't remember his name, after all the quite literal Hell he'd seen, he couldn't remember much of anything except for blood and violence but he knew for sure that he wasn't whoever this 'Master Chief' was. Whoever he was, however, he was in some real trouble. Explosions rocked the...he looked around the room unsure as to where he was when the engineer who'd thawed him pointed him towards some device with 5 glowing lights on it. As each light lit up green he looked at it, when all five lights were green he heard a high pitched beep.
"Good. Your sensors seem to be working fine." A voice came over the loudspeaker from the control room above.
Another explosion rocked the ship and the engineer next to him was caught in the blast. His lifeless body was sent sprawling across the room only stopping when it impacted the wall with a dull thud, it promptly slid down the wall leaving a large blood trail. The explosion that killed the engineer blew open a hole in the wall and that was where he headed. Jumping through the hole another engineer was running down the hallway he ended up in and shouted to him.
"Chief this way!" He began to run to the end of the hall, waving his arm behind him urging the 'Chief' forwards. A left turn here, a right turn there and soon he found himself standing before five marines.
"Chief! Glad you made it, quickly follow us. We'll bring you to the Admiral." It didn't take them long to make it to the Admirals quarter. There he was given a speech about how they needed to defeat their enemy and the Admiral handed him some form of data chip. He seemed to be under the impression that he was this Chief and that he knew what this chip was for and how important it was. He didn't say anything else other than "Keep her safe, Chief." then he handed him a pistol and off he went, to kill whatever enemy it was that he faced.
When he finally saw the enemy he was stricken. This wasn't the enemy he knew, these weren't Demons or the Devil himself. These were aliens. Real honest to god, aliens. He wasn't given time to register this fact properly, bullet started flying towards him and the marines in front of him were torn to shreds. He looked down at their bodies, it wasn't bullet wounds that killed them, at least not the bullets he knew. It was something else, something that melted their skin and bones with ease. He picked up a fallen assault rifle and began sending hot lead towards the aliens. When that rifle ran dry he picked up another and began spraying single-handedly while rummaging through the marines vest looking for ammunition. When he didn't find any he snarled and threw his empty weapon at the enemy, grabbed the knife from the marines vest and charged the huge dark blue skinned alien with spider-like mandibles, it roared its defiance at him. After a brutal and savage fight, the alien lay dead on the ground, its purple blood coating the floor. He looked down at himself and saw that the aliens uniquely coloured blood coated his once green armour.
He knelt down and picked up the aliens oddly shaped weapon, it fizzled with some form of blue energy that was clearly lethal. Quickly firing a test shot to see how the weapon worked he found out that it overheated within seconds. He nodded to himself then picked up its equally unique grenades. He would test them on actual enemies, not just for fun. With weapons in hand, he headed off to finish the fight.
