Base Camp, Mt. Elberus

Captain Luke was lazily lying down on his cot facing up the ceiling. Mission Blacksweep never left his thoughts. It was not that his comrades have disappeared that troubled his mind but the moment he opened his eyes after he was unconscious.

During the debriefing was all an act. An act to retaliate against any attempt from the Commander to exploit interrogative scrutiny. He remembered every detail of it after his unconsciousness on the night of their ambush.

He found himself sitting on the tree where he hit his head. He opened his eyes and felt excruciating pain at his nape. Startled, he saw a tall and slim woman standing safely away from him. He quickly recovered from his dizziness and attempted to find his weapons but only found out that his holsters were empty. Even his helmet and his hand grenade were not on him anymore. He realized that there was nothing left to do but confront what was in front of him.

He gathered all his might to muster strength w

    Blackwolf Base camp, Mt. Elberus *** Agent Kate Brown, Lieutenant Lance Davis, and Commander James Johnson rode a Government-issued black Helicopter from Astron City to the secret base camp of Mt. Elberus. Lt. Davis looked downwards through a circular window of the helicopter's door watching the base's top view. Lance felt melancholic at the moment. He had a lot of feelings rushing inside his thoughts, but what stood out the most, apart from his memories of Angela, was the feeling of excitement to be in service again for the country. To be a hero again. The base camp had a small airstrip, 2 helicopters lined near the heliport, and 3 predators parked at the start of the strip. There were 3 large bunkers formed like domes and painted with brown camouflage all over them. These bunkers were made of 30-inch steel designed to withstand missile or even nuclear blasts. The Facility was fenced with electrified barbed wires on top of the solid concrete 100-meter-high square fence. There we

Both considered themselves brothers; they did several missions together when they were assigned to the heart of a rebel nation. “I just can’t believe that you are here, alive and well,” Lance said with subtle happiness in his voice. “Me too, brother. I can’t believe you joined the cause and left your perfect life outside the service,” Luke responded. They released each other's hug. “It is far from perfect, yah know. Just missed the bullets. I guess.” Lance said. “Well, you are in the right place, Lance.” Luke tapped Lance’s shoulder. They have a solid carrier together and their team was known by high-ranking officials. They were assigned to special operations, rebel camps infiltration, and all was successful. Until the Captain had issues with his immediate superior.

His true self, the one who laid dormant while living outside the force. He was given 2 days' pause and rest to recuperate and heal his bruises. At 0400 H, Lance woke up from his bed and decided to jog around the compound to start his day, he went outside the quarters and out from the bunker wearing his jog suit and started brisk walking around the compound. He felt discomfort in every inch of his body and a jolt of pain every time he exerted effort. The compound was quiet with only a few night shift guards doing their rounds and on their respective guard towers. There was a lot of light inside the compound but there were a lot of dark corners. He noticed the entrance

    Blackwolf Basecamp, Mt. Elberus *** Lance was lying on his bed, impatiently waiting for midnight. His room is a 12-square meters, enclosed with metallic walls and no windows in it. It contributed to the nervousness he had of a dangerous quest of curiosity. His thought flitted to his wife, who he knew was mourning. Then he convinced himself that she would be fine. Five million dollars would provide her with a fine luxurious living and start anew. The clock struck midnight, somebody knocked on the door. He hauled himself up and sighed heavily. ‘Here we go.’ He had not started his mission but he now had doubts about the integrity of their presence in the mountain. Still convincing himself that he was fighting for a greater cause, to stop another imminent threat from the rebels. He suddenly opened the door and found Kate outside his door wearing a tight black shirt, tight flexible pants, and hair pony-tailed. She said, "Can I come inside?"

But even with the blueprints, they had difficulty. They crawled for half an hour, looking for a perfect spot to infiltrate. All they could see was a fraction of what was inside through small vent holes. They saw a few personnel dressed in white Disease protection suits with a transparent glass protecting their faces. Assuming, about 3 or 4 scientists were walking around these chambers.Finally, at the very end of a vent was a small cover screen where they could descend safely in a small utility room. There was no one inside.

Both his arms were tied at his back with a rope, so tight that he could not free them. His struggle was futile for he would consume his energy trying to free his hands. Furthermore, a lot of hostiles were outside his cage.He first recognized two large men standing outside his cage with their backs facing him. They were shirtless and with bulky frames, brown skin, and had tribal tattoos all over their bodies. A colored cloth hung from their waistline up to their knees to cover their private parts. Their clothing had slits just to make them move around easier. They had holstered a long and wide-bladed weapon.He trained his eyes to his surroundings and found another wooden cage, just about five long steps from him.

The sudden emergence of a soft voice made the large, built, manly guard loses his composure and gave him a jolt of nervousness.Rick dropped to the floor, slammed his body to the ground. His wish of death had been disturbed. He spat with the remaining saliva that drenched his tongue. Then he flitted his vision to the one who said the order. It was a woman.“Apologies, Maria!” The guard said as he hurried himself out to the Agent’s cage.“What did I tell you?” Maria scolded.“Not to hurt the prisoner. It won’t happen again.” The guard answered hesitantly.“You better be.” The woman scoffed. She turned her gaze upon the prisoner. Their eyes met.A pretty woman, in her mid-30's, with short hair, a little bit wavy at the ends of her hairline. Her face was bizarrely beautiful. No make-up, but h

He might need the necessary energy to fight his way out.“What are we, you asked,” Chief Vaegon said, his mouth crunching the crisp of the lettuce.“I know you are not normal humans.” Rick retorted.“We are humans, Agent Rick,” Lyka answered as she drank water.“One, you are strong. Second, you are fast. Third, you wiped our team easily.” Rick said. He stopped eating his food and held a stare at Lyka.“You are right. We are strong. We are fast. Stronger and faster than normal humans do. We wiped your team easily because we know you are coming.” Lyka answered.“You knew? How?” Rick asked. ‘How could they know?

    The large guy fell to the floor like a large slab of carcass together with the unconscious Lyka. Surprised, the smaller guy screamed. His condescending but calm demeanor was replaced by a grimace of hate when he saw his comrade drop to the floor. “Emyl!” A scream escaped his throat. “Do not move, monster!” Lance demanded. “Or I will shoot you next. Surrender quietly and there will be no further bloodshed.” “Ha! Ha! Ha!” The smaller person laughed hard, his eyes weirdly looking at Lance with every intent to devour. “I am not used to hearing those words from a mere human being like yourself. You might be a trained soldier but your abilities do not compare to mine. I am immortal. I am Reagor, son of Chief Vaegon, the hunter of Consolacion Village.” “I don’t care who you are but I am sure that my rifle can split your skull in half!” Lance responded, his aim steadied still on the Rakasha. “Try then. I am also curious about the limits of immortality. I am longing for death and maybe you

It was the only light that shone from the dark. A cracking voice from the speakers emerged immediately saying ‘Attention all personnel, this is not a drill. The base is under attack!’ It went over for some time and for only a few seconds, Lance stormed out of the room like ablaze with all his gear on his shoulder and his boots on. All other personnel scurried to the halls and they were all going in one direction, as protocols suggested, to the armory. “Lance, this is what I feared!” Luke tapped at his shoulder. “It was what Lyka just said,” Lance responded as his eyes fell on Kate on the other side of the heaving crowd. Lance never saw before the worry that plastered on the face of the head of Recon. They were all lined up to be provided with weapons. The personnel on the other side of the armory

    The Attack

    Black Wolf Basecamp, Mt. Elberus The clock strikes midnight and owls howled loudly consuming the silence of the mountain. The breeze gave shivers to all the Blackwolf operatives guarding the Base camp. Two full-body armored operatives guarding the left side corner tower of the gate. One operative, Raffy, was equipped with a long-range sniper rifle and the other was assigned with the mounted 50 cal. Heavy machine gun. Raffy had been in the Gate for years of Blackwolf service and it had frequently crossed his mind that his purpose was futile, far from the actual military service. "I really hate to be on night shifts. It always gives me the creeps." Raffy started, emphasizing on the ‘really’. He glanced back to his comrade with only a few months in the service. "Yeah. Me too. Not to mention, I am always sleepy especially here on top of the tower." His comrade responded. Raffy, as a senior to his comrade, understood the slackness of operatives assigned in towers.

He was agitated and was not able to resist, his heart thumping unknowingly. He stepped forward beside Luke and asked, "The Mrs. Davis you mentioned, is it my wife Angela Davis?"The Rakasha adjusted her eyes and rubbed against her left forearm. And her eyes fell to Lance, her face had every hint of surprise. Her mouth hung open, her glistening eyes turned watery.“Lance,” Her voice was faint and close to a sob.“How did you know my name?” Lance took steps further forward, closer to the cell."I can't believe it, you are alive." Lyka's voice suddenly rose. "You were dead, a car crash. Mrs. Davis cried and mourned. I mourned for days. I can't believe it that you are alive.""But how do you know me? How do you know my wife?"“I have been stalking yo

    Underground Facility, Base camp, Mt. Elberus "How do you feel?" Lance asked Luke as they descended to the underground facility. "Nervous, I guess." "That is why you brought me with you and not Kate?" "Kate is just too emotional right now. She just wanted to make herself busy with all the overwhelming events that transpired for the past few days." "I think she will be alright." As they reached the end of the elevator, two black-clad operatives approached them and greeted them. "May I have your authorizations, Captain Luke?" The Captain showed his authorization card to the operative. It was provided by Agent Ken as their way into the underground facility. "We need access to the Isolation chamber. We need to interrogate the prisoner." "Right away sir!" The operative replied and then showed them the entrance to the chamber. The operative inputted coded numbers on the keypad located at the side of the secured door. A green light flashed on top of the door and it opened. Lt. Lance f

    Castle Rise Hotel, Bower City Loud and intimate moaning reverberates to the walls of the 20th floor Castle Rise penthouse. A naked female figure, slim and curvy, was grinding on top of a naked fat hairy man lying flat on a thick and comfortable bed cushion. Her hair was long and wavy and it naturally fell to her shoulders down to her lower back almost kissing her butt cheeks. The fat naked man, Henry Wallace, was very perspiring and exhausted while his regular hooker mercilessly and ferociously drove on top of him, rubbing her crotch with her legs stretched widely apart against the Secretary's boner. The hooker's both arms were held to a very fancy wooden headboard to leverage strength during her grind. Even with this exhausting activity, the hooker still maintained her freshness, and only slight perspiration trickled down her forehead still maintaining her makeup. Both of the Secretary's hands grasped strongly her B-cup-sized breasts and played with them. The Secretary's mouth was

Her stare was the look of the well-known beautiful but lethal female Head of Recon Team and Ken had but a friendly face. He held a mischievous grin."We followed you. We had a hint during that night when the three of you were gone in your quarters. Our quarter guards reported to us. I relayed the report to Commander James of course as good agents do.”"Did you know from the start?!" Kate shouted. Agent Ken just smiled and said calmly, "Before this base was constructed, I and a few others surveyed these tribes and we found something inhuman in the villagers. They could transform into monsters. For a few weeks of monitoring, we found a whistleblower from the nearest tribe who gave the information willingly to us that people in the hidden village or the Consolacion village were

The yellow dim lights provided a soothing comfort, perfect for the taste of a veteran soldier like James Johnson. He enjoyed his Cuban cigar as he slouched on his office chair and playfully fingered the wafting smoke with his fingers. He rocked his chair back, his feet stretched below the desk. His head craned upwards looking at the expensive wooden ceiling.A wolf’s head was carved using a mahogany tree that hung majestically on the right side wall where all his achievements were gloriously placed on a glass panel cabinet. He frequently looked at them with utter glory and honor. But now, all he saw was a mockery of his service or patriotism. To a person what he had become, was beyond the dreams of a dedicated soldier. Corruption had filled his mind and disputes had loomed on his imaginations

    The Capture

    A sudden raucous had loomed from Lance’s and Kate’s position. They saw from afar that Lyka had fought the Blackwolf SRS squads that tried to apprehend them. Two of them went flying with a swipe of Lyka’s arm. She moved faster than normal humans do, evading the tranqs that the squads used. But they were surrounded and outnumbered. She jumped to the nearest Agent and intertwined her arms to his, deflecting the tranq gun from his hands and snapping the bones that were like twigs. The agent screamed in utter pain and then she delivered a blow to his face, he was knocked down. Even with the head protection he wore, he was cold unconscious.The second agent was able to land a shot at her back. But only one. The succeeding shots of tranqs all flew right past her as she rolled, quickly grabbing the agent by his left knee. She locked it up with her both hands, throwing down the Agent easily and slamming his body to the floor. The other Agents ceased firing to avoid h
