I wrote a short story featuring Doombringer for my AU (please read it I worked really hard on it)
I apologize that Doom doesn't feature too much in this one, but my next story will be an action heavy story where he gets to be really cool, so stay tuned for that!!

“Dude, this place is sketchy as hell,” Jack murmured, shifting his weight from one foot to the other as he glanced around the alley. An open dumpster filled the air with a potent stench, several muddy puddles reflected the night sky (Jack had ruined his brand new Bloxxers by stepping in one earlier), and a homeless man lay on his side at the opposite end of the alley. “Couldn’t we have met them in the park or something?”
“First of all, stop being a little #####,” Jack’s companion raised a finger. “Second of all, everyone knows that you always have to conduct business somewhere dark and secluded.” Ethan was older than Jack by a year and taller by an inch, which meant he was always right by default. He wore a green jacket and matching pants that did little to shield him from the cold, kept a pair of plastic swords sheathed on his back, and had his face covered by a cardboard mask of his idol: 1x1x1x1. Making it had taken him several weeks, and his dad had nearly found it in his closet once, but it was his pride and joy. Most footage of 1x was blurred and hard to make out, due to both their glitched visage and their tendency to kill everyone who got within a mile radius, but he had done a pretty stand-up job regardless—although the eyeholes were too small and were seriously limiting his peripheral vision.
“Yeah, which means they could,” Jack started, then glanced at the homeless man and continued in a whisper, “that they could kill us without anyone noticing!” Like Ethan, Jack wore a 1x disguise, although the coloring on the mask was sloppier and he only had one sword instead of two due to Ethan’s allowance. Unlike Ethan, he had been smart enough to wear a green hoodie that provided actual insulation. “I’m telling you Ethan-“
“Dude, how many times do I have to tell you, that’s not my ####### username anymore!” Ethan snapped. “You’re just as bad as my mom!”
“Sorry, xSwordsMaster15-“Jack drawled, rolling his eyes.
“xXSwordsMaster15.”
“But I’m telling you that we don’t need the stinking scripts! We can just graffiti the school or something!”
“May 17, 20XX,” Ethan loudly recited with practiced ease, causing Jack to hang his head and groan. “1x1x1x1 appeared in the capital of Robloxia, caused millions in property damage-“
“And killed dozens of people…”
“To prove a point,” Ethan said smoothly before continuing, “And fought the Admins for 2 hours and 45 minutes before being defeated. Now, what if 1x1x1x1 had said ‘oh no, it’s too risky, I’ll just graffiti Roblox HQ instead?’ Anyone can spray some paint on a wall. But it takes a real rebel to destroy an entire school building.”
Before Jack could retort, they heard footsteps and straightened up. A tall, shadowy man turned into the alley and walked towards them with long, confident strides, flanked by two large men that could have been RFC fighters. The homeless man got up and left the alley with his eyes firmly downward, and Jack thought he was smarter than both of them.
“Yo,” Ethan said with a nod of his head. Jack did the same with considerably less confidence.
“Gentlemen,” the man greeted them in a smooth, velvety voice. “A fine evening to do business, don’t you think?” He stopped a few feet away from them, and they could see that he was both well built and well dressed in a black suit and tie. His face remained cloaked in shadow, with the exception of his perfect white teeth as he grinned at them.
“Totally,” Ethan said. “You got the stuff?”
“Of course.” The grin widened. “But first, the payment.”
Ethan reached into his pocket and handed over all the cash inside, which was both his and Jack’s pooled allowance over the past three months. The man took and counted with a gloved hand, then nodded and pocketed it. “Excellent.” He snapped his fingers, and one of the bodyguards handed him a briefcase, which he opened to reveal two sleek black panels. “Your scripts.”
Ethan eagerly took both scripts, passing one of them to Jack, who held it as if it was radioactive. Ethan scrolled through his panel, frowning as he did so, then looked up at the man. Then at the panel and back at the man again. “Are you serious?”
The man’s grin didn’t falter. “Problem?”
“Uh, yeah, big problem.” Ethan ignored Jack’s elbow in his side and waved the script in the man’s face. “This isn’t what we agreed on. This is a kiddy script at best.”
“What we agreed on is 500 Robux for two scripts,” The man said smoothly, his grin never faltering. “You paid, my employer provided.”
“Ethan-“
“You couldn’t destroy a trash can with this thing, hell, you couldn’t destroy a soda can with this.” Ethan shook off Jack’s hand and stepped close to the man, their chests now inches apart. “Your boss trying to rip us off?”
“All things considered, my employer was rather generous with the quality of the scripts.” The man looked down at Ethan. “You would do well to be thankful.”
“Yeah, well, you would do well to tell iTra-“
“We don’t say his name.” The man’s voice hardened for the first time, his grin now replaced by a stern expression.
“Tell iTrapped”, Ethan said, making sure to enunciate every part of the name. “to give us something actually worth our money.”
The man sighed and hung his head, as if he had just been inconvenienced. “I truly wish you hadn’t said that.” The two bodyguards stepped forwards, cracking their knuckles.
“H-Hold on,” Jack said, nervously backing away, hands raised in placation. “W-We love the scripts! The scripts are great! Right, Ethan?”
“Stay back man,” Ethan said, voice wavering for the first time as he backed away from the approaching bodyguards. He drew his swords and pointed them with shaky hands, the plastic blades about as threatening as his skinny arms were. “We’ll #### you up. I’m not joking.”
The bodyguards said nothing. The man checked his watch. Hands the size of melons reached for them. Jack shrank back and covered his face. Ethan swallowed hard and let out a war cry as he reeled back for a swing.
A dark object dropped in from the sky, landing between the boys and the bodyguards with a thunderous crash, cracking the concrete and creating a cloud of dust on impact. All five of them coughed and stepped away, and when the smoke cleared, all five of their hearts dropped to their stomachs. A man the size and height of a refrigerator stood in the alley, his entire body covered by a black armor that made him look more like a machine than a person. Pulsing red lines ran through the armor like circuits through a hard drive. He wore a long red coat that blew slightly behind him in the wind, and he had glowing red chains wrapped around his shoulder, his abdomen, and most prominently his arms and wrists. His face was covered by a mask that had black ski goggle-like eyes, with narrowed red slits in each. A crimson helmet sat atop his head, with two prominent, glowing red horns protruding from each side. Finally, strapped to his back was a hammer that was nearly as tall as he was and glowed with the very same energy that his body did.
Doombringer. Admin of Robloxia. Moderator of all.
Several thoughts went through the minds of Jack and Ethan in rapid succession: ‘Oh god it’s an Admin, oh god it’s Doombringer, we’re saved, no wait he’ll arrest us too, oh god he’s gonna ban us.’ They started to back away from Doombringer’s hulking figure, only him to turn his head and fix them with those digital eyes, causing their bodies to lock up in fear. He firmly pointed a finger at the ground: stay. The two boys nodded so fast it made them dizzy. Doombringer turned back to the bodyguards and the dealer. The two men now looked like schoolchildren compared to Doombringer, fists raised with shaky hands, clearly debating on whether they got paid enough for this. The dealer had already turned tail, abandoning all sense of professionalism and scrambling down the alley, nearly falling over in his haste as he turned the corner.
Doombringer looked down at the two bodyguards—both of whom were easily six feet tall—and sighed. “There is a Moderation Station two blocks away,” he rumbled. His voice was deep and had a quiet strength to it, but he also sounded… normal? Almost tired. Go there and turn yourselves in, and you’ll receive lighter sentences than if you had attempted to assault an Admin.”
The two men looked at each other, then back at Doombringer, before slowly lowering their fists, nodding, and sprinting out of the alley. Doombringer nodded as if pleased, then turned around to face the quivering teenagers. He crossed his arms and said nothing, only looking at them. They managed to stay silent for approximately five seconds before Ethan pointed at Jack and blurted, “It was all his idea!”
“What!?” Jack said, both appalled and horrified. He saw Doombringer raise an eyebrow and quickly said, “I’m not the one who spent months planning how to destroy the school and then got us involved with a script dealer!”
“Wha—You traitor!”
“You turned on me first!”
“Well I didn’t give him details!”
“Boys,” Doombringer said, sounding like an exhausted school teacher. “Enough. Take the masks off.”
“That’s really not-“
“Now, please.”
They took the masks off. Doombringer’s eyes softened, and he studied their faces for several seconds before speaking. “Why do you want to destroy your school?“
“B-Because it’s funded by Roblox,” Ethan said, just as Jack said “Because all his teachers failed him.”
“I see. And I take it that you think it’s cool to wear masks of a mass murderer?” He gestured at the masks in their hands.
“No sir,” Jack said quickly. Ethan stared down at the mask for a long moment before mumbling, “No.”
Doombringer nodded, satisfied. “Good. I’ll let you two off with a warning.” The two boys looked up, surprised. “Go home. Get rid of those masks.” He took the scripts from their hands and broke them in half with his thumb and index fingers. Ethan winced as the pieces fell despite himself. “And please, stay in school. Understood?”
“Yes sir.” Both said. Jack gave a salute with the wrong arm.
Doombringer looked at them for a moment, then let out a breath that was suspiciously similar to a chuckle, before disappearing from the alley with a gust of wind. The boys stood in silence for several seconds, which was broken when Ethan let out a hysterical laugh, head tilted back into the night sky. When he caught his breath, he threw the 1x mask on the ground and stomped it into a puddle until it was soaked and unrecognizable. Jack quietly ripped his mask into small pieces and then let them scatter across the ground.
“Ethan?”
“…yeah?”
“I think we should go home and study.”
“…yeah.”
