'''''[http://www.quake-rebellion.com/ Arenas]''''' is a video [[Fanfic]] series based on the [[Id Software|Idverse]], especially in [[Quake III Arena (Video Game)|Quake III Arena]], created by ''Tritin Multimedia'', and directed by Joe Goss, in 2008. It follows the story of [[Doom]], the character, although not in his classic ''[[Space Marine]]'' suit, as he's selected by the Vadrigar and taken to the Quake tournament.
 
The characters appearing in this series are [[Doom]], [[Quake (Video Gameseries)|Ranger]], [[Quake II (Video Game)|Grunt]], [[Quake III Arena (Video Game)|Mynx, Sarge, Visor, Gorre and Xaero]].
 
The episodes can be watched [http://www.youtube.com/user/DirectorGoss#p/c/3B7D2FCBCD78E1A4 here].
 
There are currently plans for a second season.

== This [[Fanfic]] provides examples of: ==
* [[Action Girl]]: Mynx.
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]:
** The introduction of both Ranger and Grunt, in "Warriors of Slipgate". There's no Doom in here.
** Also, the story of Sarge. In "Last Stand", Doom and Visor are talking about him in the resting area, while Sarge's regenerating. Cue flashback scenes about Sarge and Visor's previous fights in the Human-Strogg war.
Line 24:
** The third-party map Wicked gets two episodes in the limelight in both "Scrimmage" and "The Amulet".
* [[A-Team Firing]]: Doom wastes a lot of ammunition. Few shots actually hit the opponent. Case in point: "Doom's Deathmatch Birth", his first frag against Visor.
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|1=The Vadrigar, the [[Final Boss]] from the [[PSPlayStation 2]] version of Q3A}}.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]:
** {{spoiler|Sarge appears to save Doom}} in "Worthy".
Line 39:
* [[Lights Off, Somebody Dies]]: In the beginning of "Chosen By The Vadrigar", Doom is watching a movie, then the lights goes off and many of his companions bite the dust.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Considering the Idverse as a whole, there're plenty of these:
** Some shots can be teleported and the jumppads can send the projectiles up, as a nod to [[Quake IV (Video Game)4|Quake IV]]'s multiplayer, which allows this.
** {{spoiler|The final part of Sarge's flashback}} in "Last Stand" is a throwback to the intro cutscene of [[Quake III Arena (Video Game)|Quake III Arena]], where Sarge is decimating thousands of monsters with his chaingun.
** {{spoiler|The aftermath of the match between Doom and Xaero}} in "REBELLION!" it's a throwback to the ending of the same game.
** The amulet Ranger gives to Doom in "The Amulet" has the shape of the [[Quake (Video Gameseries)|Quake]] logo.
** At one point in "Chosen by the Vadrigar", Doom accesses a computer screen to see how many things came through the teleporter. Upon viewing the data for Phobos, the map screen that appears between levels in episode 1 of ''Doom'' shows up on the screen.
* [[Neck Lift]]: Xaero in "DeFrag" and {{spoiler|Gorre in "Worthy"}} both of them does this to Doom.
Line 51:
** "Scrimmage" takes place in Wicked. (q3jdm8)
** "REBELLION!" takes place in The Camping Grounds. (q3dm6)

<!-- %% These ones should be completed. I don't know which map those are. -->

* [[Oh Crap]]: The first Cacodemon in "Chosen by the Vadrigar"'s green eye opens as far as it can upon hearing Doom revving the chainsaw. Hard to think a demon which is basically just a red ball of flesh would be capable of expressing this, but it does.
* [[Quad Damage]]
Line 62 ⟶ 56:
* [[Schedule Slip]]: "REBELLION!" was going to be uploaded in May 1st. 2009. It ended up showing almost two months later.
* [[Sequel Hook]]:
{{quote| '''Vadrigar''': ''{{spoiler|You may have me pissed now, but our war hasn't even started. You may end me, but they won't kill me}}.''}}
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Mynx is the only woman in the first season.
* [[SNK Boss]]: A rare non-videogame example played in-universe. Xaero can teleport while the other warriors can't, and has even more stamina and strength than any of the other warriors.
