(I'm kind of tired today so I'll make this quick. - S D)

The Doom Marine sprints through the mars facility, adrenaline pumping through his brain, as he kills crowds of demons with his bare hands. He had recently obtained a berserker pack, a powerup that increases his health and strength exponentially, and makes killing demons dead simple.

The Marine powers through demons, right until the berserker pack wears off. The feeling of invulnerability fading, but the demons are still coming. To make a last ditch effort, he takes a shotgun from the corpse of a zombie soldier and shoots down a couple of imps before running out of shells.

The horde of demons now surround the marine, he tries to punch an approaching imp. But his fist is caught and the imp tears his arm off! Blood spurts out like a geyser as the marine yells his lungs out. The rest of the demons cackle around the Marine, as he is currently bleeding out. The imp that ripped off his arm uses it to knock him into the other demons. The demons rip the marine apart, they feast on his flesh while he screams for dear life.

Cerberus gets up before any of the other demons, and she sees that the Slayer is shaking in his sleep. She curiously takes off his helmet to find that him sweating and grunting in distress.

Cerberus
"Hey!"

"Hey get up!"

"You're having a nightmare!"

The slayer instantly sits up and becomes wide awake. He looks around, recently the Slayer and his harem had settled down to camp again. He looks over to see his helmet on the ground, and Cerberus looking at him scared and confused. He takes the helmet and puts it back onto his head, the visor lights up.

The Slayer
"Unf."

He tilts his head to one side and it makes an audible popping sound that wakes everyone up.

Pandemonica yawns,
"Time to go I guess?"
The Slayer looks over to her, then turns back.

Pandemonica
"Strange..."

The Slayer checks the super shotgun in case he needs to reload, then stands up and signals to the rest of the harem to follow. They begin their march towards the next level.

A skeleton guard blocks the path, the Slayer doesn't bother to use the super shotgun and punches apart. Pandemonica leans over to the other girls and whispers as to not alert the slayer,
"Is it just me, or is he totally different from how he was yesterday?"

Malina
"Yeah, doesn't he usually make a dumb joke or a snarky comment?"

Modeus
"I don't really care, I think he's cute like this! So silent and stoic..."

Pandemonica
"What do you think, Cerberus?"

Pandemonica looks over to see Cerberus nervous about something.
"What happened?"

Cerberus
"We don't really know!"

"We woke up early, and we saw that he was having a bad dream."

"We woke him up to try and snap him out of it, but he seems so scary now!"

The slayer finds a gold key amongst the skeleton's bones, he keeps it in his inventory in case of another gate. He signals for the others to catch up before leaving.

Pandemonica
"Well, it's no good if we say nothing."

Pandemonica walks up to the slayer, the two look at each other. The Slayer raises an eyebrow underneath his helmet as if he's confused by her approaching him.

Pandemonica
"What's with you today?"

Slayer
?

Pandemonica
"Don't give me that look! Why are you so quiet and serious all of a sudden?"
