- Description : You are heading down the secret hallway leading to
- the teleporter back to Earth. As you make your way
- to well-earned freedom, you wonder why it seemed so
- easy to waste the mighty Spiderdemon?
- Just then, a ghostly apparition appears in the
- corridor ahead. It is one of your fallen comrades!
- He speaks to you in a ghostly whisper, but you sense
- a joy in his haunting voice. He thanks you for
- rescuing his soul from that monstrous devil. He
- begins to tell you of his last mission...
- It seems that of the few space marines who made it
- to the inferno of Hell, only he had a soul too pure
- to be corrupted by the teleporter gates. He fought
- valiantly, but was soon captured-not killed! The
- hideous Spiderdemon saw a power in that soul he
- could use for his own. In an unholy ceremony, the
- Spiderdemon split the marine into two parts--a body
- and a soul!
- With the soul in his control, the Spiderdemon
- would gain even greater power and would be
- indestructable to any mortal!
- But, there was one more part to complete the
- ceremony. The only way for the Spiderdemon to
- truly possess the soul was to prove that the body
- was not worthy of it. A test for the human would
- be the last step of the arcane ritual.
- The Spiderdemon sent him back to Phobos to a
- special arena built just for the occasion. If he
- could fight his way to retrieve his soul, he would
- be worthy of it. If he failed, the Spiderdemon
- would become invincible and he would suffer an
- eternity of torment. If he succeeded, he would be
- returned to Earth.
- In the end, he was victorious, but the Spiderdemon
- broke the rules of the ritual and laid a final trap
- for him. He was killed and his body taken back to
- Hell as a trophy.
- His soul was also brought back and it watched as
- the Spiderdemon's ritual backfired on him. The
- monster received a great blast of energy in punishment
- for his blasphemous actions!
- The demon was weakened, but very much alive. He
- unleashed his fury on the only thing he could, the
- soul of the poor marine! Even though he could never
- use its power, he was determined to torture the man
- who cheated him out of immortality. It wasn't until
- you destroyed the weakened Spiderdemon that he was
- set free.
- The spirit turns and begins to float away, but you
- call out for him to wait. You ask him to tell you
- more of this final mission. As you look into the
- misty face, you see a comrade who used to swap tales
- of adventure with you often. You ask him for 1 last
- war story. He smiles and begins to tell, in detail,
- of his most heroic mission. This is that tale.....
