Prologue: Sinister Beginnings

A/N: Thanks to my good friend James S-310 I have fallen into DOOM. Not even a week into the game a character has been forming. I normally don't pursue side projects like this, but this one just seemed too tempting. I only own F_01 and S_01. Everyone else belongs to Bethesda, ID Software, and their other respective owners. I want to thank my good friend Vesner who has been editing and watching for any errors that I've made. Anyways now that that's taken care of… Enjoy?

"Doctor Pierce, we have made some progress finally. Two clones have survived past the critical stage." A UAC employee spoke holding up a clipboard.

Olivia Pierce, the woman had ulterior motives with this side project of hers. She had planned on opening the gates of Hell, ushering in a new era. However, there was one thing that would ruin her plans entirely, the being known as the Doom Slayer remained encased in a stone tomb in the basement of the facility. By some luck they had managed to extract some traces of their DNA and had used it for this purpose.

"What are their vital readings?" Pierce asked.

The employee moved through a few papers, "The male is strong and showing indications of being able to use the Argent energy to full capacity. The female however, appears to just be an ordinary human with no outstanding qualities except being more aware of their surroundings. She's been following the staff around with her eyes."

"It's obvious which one was a success then. Ensure that S_01 is given proper needs and suit." Pierce muttered and looked over the vitals.

The employee nodded, "What about the other one?"

"Let F_01 die, I have zero tolerance for failures. If we cannot contain that man, then everything has been in vain. We need something that will match his level of combat effectiveness should he return to this world. I have no time to make accommodations for a pathetic creature that is incapable of utilizing Argent Energy ."

"Understood." And with those words the employee hurried off to inform the others of the decisions that had been made.

In one of the labs one of the two clones watched with dark eyes as the others moved around them. She had become more aware of her surroundings with each passing hour, and was trying to figure out what she was. Yet for some unknown reasons she kept seeing flashes of demons falling at her hands, no someone else's hands. Why had she begun experiencing memories that belonged to another person? Looking around with just her eyes she noticed that in a tube next to her was a male counterpart being released from his containment as they were immediately taken away for examination and once that was done, they began to be geared up and put to use for the field.

"Doctor Pierce, about the other one, perhaps we can still use it!" one worker finally spoke up.

Pierce looked at the clone dead in the eyes, for some reason the clone felt her blood run cold. Olivia Pierce, the woman that had single handedly brought her creation about, was now looking at her with something that could be described as disgust, "For the last time, I will not tolerate failure on any level. That's exactly what F_01 is, Failure One. One that must be erased from all records. You, you can hear me can't you? Listen closely, you are a failure. Your existence will never be known; you have no value to this project or purpose."

The clone now given the name F_01 tried to comprehend what was being said to her. She was a failure? What did that even mean? Would she not join her counterpart? She watched confused as Pierce left, the rest of the employees looking at her. Some nodded and before she could figure out what was going on, they had removed her from her tube.

"Can you understand us, F?" one employee asked.

F nodded, "Y-Yes I believe so."

"She can actually talk! S_01 has shown no vocal capabilities yet! This is quite a breakthrough." Another one smiling with relief cheered.

F looked around as everyone seemed to shift their gaze onto her, "Why…did you let me out?"

"We're going to move you, not all of us agree with Pierce's decision." One finally spoke.

F nodded making sense of that much, Pierce didn't like her, and the feeling was quite mutual. Having a towel wrapped around her she followed a small group of workers to another lab closer to the base of the Argent Tower. Pierce didn't spend much time down there; it would be a good way to keep F safe from the woman. The girl looked around her eyes taking in everything and somehow her mind was working on ways of how each thing could be utilized to become a weapon, or serve another purpose. Being placed back into a containment tube the staff looked at her, "is there anything we can get for you?"

"A plush bunny if you can find one. I don't know why but they seem familiar to me." F muttered when the staff showed shock that she had mentioned something she had never experienced before.

One worker pulled out a tablet and sat down, "Tell us F, what have you been seeing? How do you know what a bunny is?"

"I don't know… Sometimes I see these flashes they're really faint, but I see demons falling at someone's hands. Other times it's holding a rabbit or something like that. I don't know what's causing them though." F admitted and tried to get comfortable.

The worker started to write everything down, "This is amazing, a clone that can recall memories of the original. This is unheard of!"

"Clone?" F asked.

The worker instantly stopped, "Well yeah, that's what you are. We took someone's DNA and replicated it. You and S_01 were the first ones to make it past the critical stage of development. Pierce seems to think that one of you will be the perfect weapon to stop him…. Whenever he awakens."

Before F could ask any more questions a plush rabbit was thrown at her and she was locked away in a containment tube once more. She clenched her ears as an alarm started to blare, and before she could even say anything numerous demons had appeared and killed the staff. F watched in horror as the corpses were dragged away, leaving her alone and trapped to be easy prey if anything came back. The dreaded feeling that there was no longer any help coming, she closed her eyes and waited for her end to come.

Several days passed while she waited for her end to come, but she had gone ignored. On the sixth day someone had finally found her, and it was the last person she wished to see, her male counterpart fully armored and armed, "Well well, they kept the failure alive after all…How unfortunate for you F_01. No one is going to miss you at all. You're just a loose end that needs to be dealt with."

"Then do it already!" F snapped.

S_01 laughed, "Oh dear sweet F…I'm not going to kill you. My little friends are."

F watched as a large demon barged into the room as it unleashed a hellish scream. Covering her ears she tried to brace herself as the glass around her began to shatter. S laughed and leaned against the doorframe, "Well would you look at the time. Farewell Failure One, I do hope you like playing with my friend the Hell Knight."

Before the girl could yell S vanished and she was now left to deal with a large demon that could tear her to shreds easily once the tube of her containment was shattered completely. When the Hell Knight had charged at the tube once more, it shattered which F quickly dove out and under them. Without thinking too much about it she quickly took a shard of the broken glass tube all around the floor as she had it cutting, and jabbing the shard into its ankle before she sprinted into the hall. It had given her enough time to get up and start running towards another part of the tower. She had no doubts that other demons would be in the area, but for now her biggest concern was the one chasing her. Just based on the creatures size she knew it was one that shouldn't be messed with. What could she do though, she was just a mere clone who only had a stuffed rabbit, a piece of glass, and a towel covering her. Rushing into another room she noticed that it was soaked in blood, and corpses of possessed littered the floor. Hearing the Hell Knight once more she tried to run, but slipped in the blood and fell to the ground.

"So this is how it will end…" F looked as the Hell Knight loomed over her as it furiously stepped on her back with no regard for her pain.

F started to lose consciousness as the facility voice continued to speak of a demonic infestation being too high and that a lock down was in effect. Just as she thought her time had come, an explosion went off and killed the Hell Knight that had just begun crushing her. Sitting up some she looked towards the sound of footsteps, and noticed someone was approaching her. They were covered in green armor, their face hidden by a helmet. Though their face was concealed she could tell who they were, and why they were here, "You're the one they fear. It's you…. The one she wanted to stop."

"Sir, it seems there's a survivor." A voice chimed from within the man's helmet.
