Doom: The Novel Chapter 1

The other day I read this novelization of the game Doom, and it was awful. I decided to write my own version and publish it on the internet for free, with minimal editing. Enjoy.

Prologue

“Magnetic measurement is at 400% sir!” Private Chiblonsky shouted. “Keep going! We need to reach 1000%! We can’t give up now. We’re almost there!” said Major Brooks. Chiblonsky and Brooks were Marines stationed on Mars. They were in charge of the Martian Science Unit, or MSU. They were working with the Union Aerospace Corporation, or UAC, on teleporter technology. Teleporters are like elevators, but they go through the air. They were banned on Earth. On Mars, though, well, let’s just say they were legal. They were developing new teleporters to use on Earth. It would make them all rich. Real rich. With worldwide peace the Marines were in danger of going out of business. Teleporters business with UAC seemed like a good idea. “Sir, I don’t think it will hold! Sir!” shouted Chiblonsky. “Hold it together ma--...” Brooks tried to reply, but it was too late. The teleporter exploded. Suddenly it was like a tornado happened, but in a room. Then from the middle of the tornado brown guys covered with spikes and bizarre pink monsters began to spill forth. Hell had come to Mars. Big time.

Chapter 1

Doomguy woke up in the Phobos Hangar. He had been passed out. For how long? He didn’t know. What did he know? He knew he was a Marine and he knew his name was Doomguy. He was on Mars with the Marines doing Mars stuff when something bad happened. Somehow hell happened. Hell happened on Mars. He had no choice but to start walking forward. Marines don’t just stand around. Marines go and fight. Time to fight. He turned the corner. There was a green-haired guy with a gun. It was a bad guy. Doomguy shot him two times. The bad guy screamed and fell down. Another bad guy came up. He looked just like the first one. Doomguy shot him too. He fell down and screamed just like the first bad guy. Suddenly a naked brown guy with spikes coming out of his skin and another one of the green-haired bad guys showed up. “More bad guys?” Doomguy thought to himself. “Hell of a day to quit drinkin’.” Doomguy shot them too, but not before the brown guy could shoot at Doomguy. He made a fireball come out of his hands? “What kind of guy is this!” shouted Doomguy. Thankfully this brown guy bled just like everyone else. Bled and died. “What the hell is going on here?” he thought, wiping the blood from the front of his space helmet. Doomguy was wearing a space helmet.
