No one's POV

It was currently late in the night. The two moons lit up the night sky as the stars shun bright. Several different animal noises could be heard from countless miles.

Down on the ground, the man in green armor was sitting on a log underneath a tree. In front of him was a hand-made camp fire, keeping him warm from the cold night. The man was currently holding his double barrel shotgun in is hands, studying it with the help of the camp fire's light.

???'s POV

'Where the hell did you send me?' I thought as I remember the last "person" I saw before waking up on this planet.

"Until we see each other again, Doom Slayer..." Those words from Hayden's cybernetic voice still echos in my mind even after several hours has passed.

'...'

I shook my head to dismiss my anger. I rest my shotgun on the log I was able to cut down with my chainsaw. After, I took off my helmet to get a good look at it.

'...'

I flip my helmet around to the back. I saw a small socket big enough to fit a chip in.

'Hmmm...'

I reach the back of my suit and pull out a chip that I took when I destroyed Vega's central processing core. I studied it and noticed it could probably fit in the socket in my helmet.

'What if...?'

No one's POV

In the tree above the Slayer, a couple of leaves could barley be heard rustling. A couple fell to the ground behind him, who was oblivious to the noise. Behind him, a large snake-like creature slowly slithers down the tree behind him.

It has a long serpentine body with small though fully functional fore- and hindlimbs that aid it in moving around on uneven ground. It has a snake-like face, with bright red eyes, numerous fangs, and many hook-like spikes along its body which start out clustered around its head and neck, and becoming more spread out along its long body, with a small cluster near the tip of its tail, which is topped with a pair of red barbs that it can rattle in a manner similar to rattlesnakes. Its has a pair of large clawed forearms, but the only remnant of hind legs it has are small spurs, similar to pythons, boas, and anacondas.

It silently hisses at the Slayer, who wasn't paying attention to his surroundings. It opens its jaw agape before lunging its body at the Slayer. But before anything else could happen, everything turns black.

Coming soon...
