The Shadow Commander is back:
Forest somewhere in Alaska time unknown:
Konrad and Kira had been walking for a long time now Kira was in werewolf form while Konrad had decided to stick in his human form and ride on Kira.
"You know. You are making it yourself easy on this way," Kira said.
"Yes, I am. Not everything in life needs to be done the hard way besides for a strong werewolf like you I shouldn't be more than a backpack," Konrad said.
Kira just chuckled a bit about his remark. They continued walking until they came by a big with snow covered hill.
"I am so not going to drag your ass up there," Kira said playfully.
"I know I know," Konrad said before jumping of her back suddenly he saw a lot of black snow mobiles heading their way.
Kira saw this too and asked "What do they want and who are they?"
"They are from Alpha wolf corporation and what they want. I don't know. Let's ask them." Konrad said while the snow mobiles where forming a circle around the two.
Then one of the drivers stepped off and walked towards them and said. "Hello Shadow Commander it's good to see you are still alive."
"Yes, not thanks to you guys. Alpha wolf left me for dead in those mines. I would still be trapped there if she hadn't come looking for me," Konrad said while pointing to Kira.
Then the man looked to Kira and said. "Ah, I see you found yourself a beautiful female werewolf," The man said. "The names Barry by the way," The man said.
"Yes, How did you find me actually Barry." Konrad asked.
"The corporation never completely abandoned you. We were looking at the facility day and night by satellite." Barry said.
"What is it that you need me for," Konrad asked.
"We got some trouble with a few experiments that do not want to do what Alpha wolf requires from them." Barry said.
Why me? You got tons of other men to deal with them," Konrad asked.
"These experiments are quite troublesome. They have killed one of our leaders and all the units we sent on them have failed to apprehend them," Barry said.
"Don't you forget something. My main power in fighting others is by letting my men fight while I give them orders. If your men fail than how am I supposed to get a victory," Konrad asked.
"That's another reason we want you. Unlike the other experiments that we sent to deal with them you don't focus on brute force. You use your brains to defeat them," Barry said.
That's all good and well but what after I captured them or I failed," Konrad said while pointing at Kira.
"Oh, well the corporation doesn't really have a use for you anyway so if you want you can continue what you are doing with her after this little assignment. What do you say," Barry asked.
"I don't know some experiments take a long time to apprehend and you say it are multiple." Konrad said.
"No, you only need to capture one experiment. Experiment T and you only need to try once." Barry said.
'This was a strange request not that he never had gotten strange requests before but this one was stranger than the others. They stayed looking for him just so he could fight this project to capture it they said but now they said he only needed to try once and if he failed he failed and that's it,' Konrad thought.
"What's the catch," Konrad asked.
"No catch we swear," Barry said.
"You try if you succeed we will give you a small reward and you can continue you trip with your girl if you fail you can continue your trip with the girl as well," Barry said.
Konrad looked suspicious at him and then said. "I accept but I need materials, information and men power to do this," Konrad said.
"All of that will be given to you when the time has come to attack and btw I have a little gift for you." Barry said while showing a black glove. He put it on and touched Kira with it. The moment he touched her she got a major electrical shock and fell on the ground screaming in pain. "KIRA," Konrad screamed while running over to her.
"Relax she is fine but this is a small gift from me to you to fight project T with." He said while handing the glove to Konrad.
Konrad took the glove and saw Kira was standing back up and started growling to Barry. "Easy girl easy," Konrad said while carefully stroking her neck.
She started nuzzling him in response to the nice treatment he gave her. "Did she get all her shots actually?" Barry asked.
"Once again she started growling to Barry. "Here," Barry said while handing Konrad a few needles with a substance in them.
"They are vaccinations against nasty diseases that wolf or dogs can get. You are protected against those diseases, but she isn't! perhaps it's smart to give them to her better safe than sorrow right. And one more thing you should meet us at our base a few miles west of here," Barry said before turning around and getting back on his snowmobile before taking off he said. "See you when the time comes!"
"Jerk!" He heard Kira mumble.
"Come on Kira we beter find a place to rest and btw is it true what he said about you not having your shot's," Konrad asked.
"It's a long story," She said while blushing.
"A long story we are going to have a talk about," Konrad said firmly.
Cave somewhere in Alaske unknown hour but somewhere before sunset :
"No, You stay away from me Konrad!" Kira yelled.
In the cave two werewolves were struggling the male one was sitting on top of the female one pinning her in his hand he had a needle. "Will you shut it already. You are going to get your shots tonight," Konrad said.
"You said we would talk about this," Kira yelled.
"Aren't we talking right now," Konrad asked before sticking the needle in her right buttock.
" Awh!" she screamed.
"Pretty much my reaction when I got them," Konrad said. before sticking another needle in her arm causing her to scream again.
"Relax now comes the last one before sticking the last needle in her leg and injecting the substance in her body.
"So all done. Now I am at least sure I don't need to worry about you getting some nasty diseases." He said before getting off her. She had tears in her eyes and was crying softly before saying. "That was mean Konrad!"
"I know it was, but I rather be mean once if that means sparing you from a nasty disease," Konrad said before he took a seat next to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"I am sorry. I shouldn't have been so angry on you. You only did it because you care about me," She said.
"Don't think about it I forgave you the very second you said the words," Konrad said.
"Why did you actually take the mission," Kira asked curiously.
"I don't know leading men gives me such a great feeling and I wanted to do it again," Konrad explained.
"I understand," She said before letting her head rest on his shoulder.
"You know what I always liked about my job," Konrad asked.
"Not really," She said.
"That I got clothes that adapt to my body when I change into a werewolf," He said while laughing. "Kira needed to chuckle a bit over his joke.
After a while Konrad noticed that she was sleeping on his shoulder. "Goodnight Kira." He said before falling asleep himself.
The next day somewhere in Alaska unknown hour:
I cannot believe that we are going to that base," Kira said.
"I know you don't like Barry, but he can be use full." Konrad said.
"fine, but explain again why I am dragging your ass again." Kira said.
"Because you need some exercise," Konrad said.
"And you don't," Kira asked.
"Do you think giving you your shots yesterday wasn't exercise enough for a week," Konrad said.
Kira just rolled her eyes while having a playful smile on her face about his remark. "There is the base he was telling about yesterday," Kira said.
"Good, well lets go then," Konrad said.
Secret base somewhere in Alaska unknown hour:
The two had entered the base Konrad in human form and Kira in normal wolf form. "There are my friends again!" Barry said while coming towards them. "Let's talk inside!" Barry said before turning around and heading towards a building.
Kira looked at Konrad with eyes saying Can we please go?
"Kira we are not going before we at least know why he wanted us to come." Konrad said before also heading towards the building. Kira followed him closely. Inside the building it was a good temperature and there was a table and some chairs and a big wool carpet.
"Sit down." Barry said friendly. Konrad walked over to a chair and Kira nestled herself on the carpet which she found to be extremely soft. "Your female friend is staying in wolf form?" Barry asked.
"Yes and don't expect that to change before she gets clothes and a private space to put them on." Konrad answered.
"Well, anyway you probably want to know why I invited you over don't you," Barry asked.
"Yes, I would appreciate that and so will Kira." Konrad said.
"Well, You see I believe you two know off the failure of base 62 the one your father was in charge off," Barry said while looking at Kira. She lowered her head remembering the day they had found her father's body. Konrad petted her affectionately by which she responded by nuzzling her head against his hand.
"Anyways we are afraid that the same thing is happening here. Riots have broken out and our men are struggling day and night to maintain a bridge head on the lower levels. We need someone that can lead them. We need you Shadow Commander. You are the only one with enough tactical and strategic insight around here that isn't laying under the soil already and above that you know these mutants their tactics." Barry said.
"What is in it for us," Konrad asked.
"I already thought you would ask that. If you succeed then I will see if I can get my hands on some clothes for your girl and I think I have some gadgets for you that you will like." Barry said while walking taking something out of the desk it seemed to be 2 Gladius Pompeii. "You are giving me 2 Gladius Pompeii?" Konrad asked.
"Yes, very special ones. These are made with special metal that can penetrate armor where the skin of project T is also included with. I f you succeed then I give you a few other handy gadgets," Barry said.
"Do I need to worry myself about this project T standing here one of these days?" Konrad asked. "No, According to our information he is fighting a certain Timmy Shock at the moment. That's all we know and all we care about for the moment," Barry said.
"Good, I accept your proposition, but if anything happens to me you take good care of her." Konrad said while pointing at Kira.
"OK, if anything happens I will." Barry said.
"Now let me show you your rooms or you want one room," Bary asked.
"one room with two beds will do I doubt she is going to go into Human form anyway." Konrad said.
"Yes, one room with two beds is good for me I am not turning into my human form anyway." Kira said.
"Ok, follow me!" Barry said before leaving the room and leading them into a medium sized room with two beds on the opposite sides of the room. The room had a bookcase with books in it 2 night tables a window a desk and what seemed like a personal bathroom connected with a door.
"Well, this is it diner is at 6:00 P.M., breakfast is at 8:00 A.M. and Lunch Is at 12 o clock everything is served in the cafeteria . With that said I will leave you two alone." Barry said before closing the door. When he was gone Kira jumped on the left bed and said. "This is mine bed."
"Guess I will sleep on the right one then," Konrad with a smile on his face before lying down on the bed. The next moment Kira suddenly jumped on his bed and stood wither forelegs on his chest with a serious look in her eyes. "Konrad, I know you like fights, that you are even made to fight battles, but please be careful I don't want to lose you too." She said with tears in her eyes.
"I am going to be careful. I am not going to leave you alone," Konrad said while petting her neck affectionately.
What now," Kira asked.
"Let's rest for a bit diner is over a couple of hours and I am feeling myself a bit tired. Konrad said while making himself comfortable on the bed. Kira laid down next to him and asked. "Mind if I sleep next you?"
"Not at all," Konrad said before he fell asleep. Kira chuckled a bit about his answer and fell asleep as well.
Secret base 5:30 P.M.:
Konrad slowly woke up and saw Kira laying next to him. She looked really peaceful and happy. He looked at the clock and saw he still had half an hour so he decided to just rest a bit next to Kira making sure to check on certain times to see if it was time to go towards the diner room .
When it was 5:50 P.M. he decided to wake Kira up by gently stroking her head with his hand while saying "Kira wake up it is diner time."
Kira slowly opened her eyes before saying. "Oh diner, I am starving." She said before jumping off the bed. She had reached the door and waited on Konrad to open it when she looked back and saw him laughing. What's so funny?"
"Who is the enthusiastic one now," He asked her.
"Very funny could you now please open the door?" Kira asked.
"Of course I can and I also will." He said while putting his shoes back on and walking over to the door and opening it. When he and Kira were out he closed the door again and walked with Kira by his side towards the cafeteria
Unknown base somewhere in Alaska cafeteria 6:0 P.M.:
The two walked inside the cafeteria and saw a decent amount of men were inside then he saw Barry that signaled him to come sit next to him when they were almost by him he said. "I see you two made it in time. Get some food and come sit next to me." Barry said.
Konrad went to get some food for both him and Kira. When he came back he set the plate of Kira on the ground where she happily started eating the food.
"So I think you are making yourself home. Am I right?" Barry asked.
"Well, It can take a while to get the situation under control down there." Konrad said.
"We have rethought our decision. Your mission is to win us time to bring everything ready to seal off the lower levels." Barry said.
"Why the sudden change of plans?" Konrad asked.
"Too much risk of those things making their way to the surface before we have it under control." Barry answered.
"I expect you to go down into the lower levels tomorrow with the reinforcements." Barry said. Kira started looking with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Kira I promised to go and I will go, but no worries this mission will be shorter than originally." Konrad said. 'And more dangerous than before,' He thought by himself.
This made Kira smile a bit knowing that he would be faster back and she started nuzzling herself against his leg making Konrad smile.
Unknown base 10:00 P.M.:
Konrad and Kira were both in their room. Konrad was sitting with his back against the wall on his bed and Kira was laying down on the bed while resting her head on his lap. Konrad looked down at the brown wolf and saw she was extremely comfortable on his lap.
Then suddenly she asked. "How long do you think it will take the mission I mean?"
"A couple of days depends on how fast, I can get the genie forces to the places they need to be and how fast they will work."Konrad answered.
"Can I come with you," Kira asked.
"No, I don't want to risk your life besides you can't do anything down there. You are not trained. Konrad said. Kira nodded sadly that she understood and lowered her head again.
"Hey come on. Don't be that sad, a couple of days that's all it's going to take." Konrad said before starting to tickle her belly. Kira broke out into an uncontrolled laughter and tried to say. Konrad Stop it tickles!"
"I only stop when you promise that you don't do a sad face anymore."Konrad said playfully. "I prp pr promise!" Kira managed to say and Konrad immediately stopped tickling her. She needed a while to regain her breath and playfully hit him.
" Awh where was that for?" Konrad asked playfully.
"For tickling me." She answered on a playful tone.
"I am going to sleep. I don't want to be late for breakfast. Konrad said before laying on his bed. Kira nestled herself next to him. Then Konrad pulled the blanket over their bodies and they fell asleep.
Unknown base Alaska lower levels unknown hour:
'Barry hadn't lied about the situation down here,' Konrad thought before jumping out of cover and shooting a few mutants that had tried to sneak up on him. The situation was bad to say the least. The men struggled to hold every inch of ground but the mutants were getting crazier than ever starting to use themselves as bombs.
Kamikazes as they were called in Japanese. A very effective strategy Konrad had always found but of course the only disadvantage was that you would not get out alive and these days also not necessary anymore with all the remotely controlled stuff, but why was he thinking about this and not on how to take them down.
He threw a grenade were he thought were a few mutants hiding and he was proven right when he saw a few mutants flying through the air. He looked behind him and saw his genie forces where done planting the charges and he signaled his men to pull back.
The men pulled back and right when the mutants were charging towards them the explosives went off and caused the mutants to get into a dust cloud. He ordered his men to start firing in the cloud and when the cloud disappeared he saw that they had gotten allot of mutants. "Alright men we need to give the engineers time to plant destroy one more tunnel before the main tunnel is blown," Konrad said.
"Yes, sir," The men said while taking in position around the last tunnel. He saw 2 men setting up an MG and 2 snipers searching for good sniping positions while the others went in cover behind rocks, barrels, and other stuff that could stop a bullet. "He knew this would be a tough fight. The mutants weren't stupid they knew what they were trying to do and they weren't going to allow it without a fight.
That was as sure as that the sun would rise again tomorrow." Konrad thought by himself. And he was proven right when a huge mob of mutants suddenly came swarming out of the tunnels. The men were still in cover and weren't spotted yet by the mutants. Konrad had given the orders to hold fire until he said otherwise. The first mutants were now barely a few meters away from the first soldiers and when they were nearly in hand reach he yelled. "FIRE!"
The cave was suddenly filled with gunfire as the first mutants were mowed down by his men. The mutants in the back tried to run for cover but Konrad had released his beetles and he heard how the mutants were ripped apart from their screams of agony and pain. He immediately called his beetles back and used the grenade launcher that was attached to his gun to finish the last remaining mutants.
Then suddenly he saw a grenade flying in the cave and a green colored gas escaped from it. "Put on your gas masks," He yelled at his men while putting his special gas mask on that Barry had given him. Barry had said it was bullet proof and it had binoculars in it. When he had it on. He once again started firing at the mutants.
Konrad was so happy that his beetles were gas proof how the corporation had done that. He didn't knew, he only knew that the gas had no effect on them, but he knew one thing if they wanted to play with gas then he would show them how it was done.
He then shot a gas can that was laying next to a few mutant and when it exploded it caused a few to be thrown into the air and to set a few others on fire. "That's how you do it," Konrad yelled at the remaining mutants while his men were firing on them.
Then he heard one of the genie soldiers yell. "Sir, we are done," Konrad gave a sign that he understood and yelled at his men that they needed to brace themself. When everyone was ready a giant explosion was hearable as the tunnel collapsed. "To the main tunnel," Konrad yelled before running towards the main tunnel.
His men followed him closely. When they reached the main tunnel they saw everything was ready to be blown. "Hurry to the surface men," Konrad yelled before running towards the exit. When they were almost on the surface he saw that the men in the back were pinned by a few mutants.
He aimed with his grenade launcher at the mutants fired and hit them. When the pinned men saw that the mutants were killed they ran as fast as they could to the surface. When everyone was on the surface they heard a giant explosion and saw that the entire tunnel was collapsed thus trapping the mutants in the lower levels.
Unknown base hospital unknown hour:
Konrad was laying here for god knows how long. They had done so many test on him that he had stopped counting the amount. Then he heard the door open and was afraid that it would be another doctor coming to do more tests on him. His fear was short lived when he saw it was a brown wolf and Barry.
"It seems it was rough down there." Barry said.
"yep, but you warned me for that," Konrad said.
The brown wolf immediately jumped on the bed and started licking him. "Easy girl easy," Konrad said while laughing.
"You better don't do that again. Do you have any idea what you put me through when all those tests were done on you?" Kira said angrily.
"I know, but if it helps a bit none of those tests said anything was wrong." Konrad said.
Kira immediately laid herself next to him and nuzzled herself against him. "I am happy that you are alright," Kira said with a soft voice Konrad started petting her neck in response.
"Good then." Barry said.
"It seems your job is done here," Barry said.
"It indeed seems so." Konrad said.
"You are sure you don't want to become a full member again of the corporation?" Barry asked.
"No, but when you need me for project T I will be ready!" Konrad said. "Good to hear that. That reminds me of something. I am sorry but I couldn't get my hands on those special clothes for your girl, but I did get my hands on my last little gift for you." Barry said before taking two silver desert eagles and a few magazines.
These bullets can penetrate project T s skin just like the gladiuses i gave you and take this knife too it also is able to penetrate project T's skin. Barry said while handing him everything.
"Thanks!" Konrad said while staring amazed at the weapons all weapons except the gladiuses had S.C. standing on them Shadow Commander "Konrad said.
Unknown base exit unknown hour but sometime after sun rise:
The next morning he and Kira both left the facility but before they left Barry gave him a little radio. "When the times comes someone of Alpha wolf will call you up." Barry said.
Konrad nodded that he understood before he together with Kira left the facility.
"So what are we going to do now?" Kira asked curiously.
"I don't know we will see where we get before I am called up." Konrad said. Then the two of them disappeared into the forest.
