Doom 2 Story

THE STORY CONTINUES...DOOM II: Hell on Earth
Back at last. After days of hard fighting in space, you've
returned home on well-earned leave. You're one of Earth's
crack soldiers, hard-bitten, tough, and heavily-armed. When
the alien invasion struck Mars, you were the first on the
scene. By killing, killing, and killing, you won. You
stopped the invasion, saved Mars base, and became a war
hero. What they don't talk about so much is that you were
the only survivor.
Heading home
But that's all behind you now. You've quit the
military, and are heading home. Your drop pod lands with a
crunch. You open 'er up and look out. Damn! The city ahead
is on fire. What the devil is going on? You stagger
forward, clutching at your sidearm. Packs of refugees are
fleeing the flaming metropolis. A band of them shriek in
terror. You squint. What's that? Someone is attacking the
refugees. You rush up and blast away, killing the
troublemaker. It looks like a human but something's wrong.
His mouth is filled with half-chewed flesh, and he's all
messed up, like a zombie from a bad horror movie. Hell, not
again!
Hell on Earth
You can feel it. It's all starting again, just like on
Mars. First, people are taken over, turned into cannibal
Things. Then the real horror starts, the deformed
monstrosities from Outside. But now it's on Earth!
The invasion is spreading
It turns out that the invaders are all over. Monsters
range from Tokyo to Timbuktu, from Stockholm to Scranton.
Billions are dead. Some people have been transformed into
flesh-eating mutants, but a few, a very few, are still
alive and fully human. The wise men of humanity have
evolved a plan to save what's left of the human race. They
have built enormous ships to carry the remaining people
into space, safely away from the ruined world.
Escaping Earth
Unfortunately, Earth's only ground spaceport has just
been taken over by the demons. They've instituted a sort of
force field -- a flame barrier -- over the port; no ships
can land or take off. You gotta go back into action. The
pathetic remnants of Earth's soldiers are making an assault
on the invaders at the spaceport. If you win, you might be
able to turn off the barrier, so that the ships can leave,
and Homo sapiens may not go extinct just yet. If you lose,
that's it. Humanity is history.
The last hope
You and your comrades make their attack. Soon, brave
men drop like flies. You lose track of your friends, though
sometimes you can hear them scream when they die, and the
sounds of combat echo from deep within the starbase.
Alone...
Something hisses with rage from the steel tunnels
ahead. They know you're here. They have no pity, no mercy,
take no quarter, and crave none. They're the perfect enemy,
in a way. No one's left but you. You...and Them. |
