Verse 5: Escape Pt 1: Fortress of the Reich
Alisa is on the floor inside a mysterious place with Artyom's head laying on her lap for she remembers the past as he begins to wake up. "Oh, what the hell happened?" he questioned as his head is on something very soft.
"Rise and shine big guy," a kind familiar voice said as he opens his eyes to see the pretty face and warm blue eyes of his partner Alisa Seung with his head resting on her thighs with her stroking his dark hair.
"Oh, for a moment. I thought I saw an angel," he said as she has red in her cheeks.
"Sweet talker huh," she said to make a bright smile which Artyom has grown to adore.
"I try, where are we?" he asked as he gets back up to sit beside Alisa changing the subject.
"We were at the building from that ambush but now we are here now," she said as Artyom looks up to the cell door to see it locked tight.
"Great, we are getting out of here," he said to sit back with Alisa.
"Indeed, say what were you dreaming about?" she asked to lighten up the mood.
"You first," Artyom said.
"Well I was dreaming about my father and my time when I was a kid," Alisa said.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yes, I was practicing my gun skills with my father. Then he gave me and Natalia some ice cream. That was a sweet memory," she said for it is Artyom's turn.
"My dream was about Hunter and him fighting all the monsters in the Metro like those old stories," Artyom said.
"He taught you how to fight?" she asked to want to know more.
"Yeah, he showed me how to shoot a gun and send me on my quest to stop the Dark Ones," he said.
"I see, he was your hero?" she asked.
"I looked up to him, he was considered the best soldier in the Metro," he said.
"He would be pretty useful right now," Alisa said trying to lighten up the mood for they are within a large room where multiple cells are holding in prisoners.
They heard all the moaning and pain within the voices of the prisoners for they look on a section of the wall to see the symbol of Stormguard which looks very similar to the Fourth Reich's symbol.
"This is not good, why is that there?" Artyom questioned as a young woman comes into view.
"Hey sweetie, long time no see," the woman said as her voice was sweet as honey and her expression is very innocent and cute.
"Oh, who are you?" Alisa asked as she felt uncomfortable for she is staring at Artyom with a sweet yet blind stare.
"Oh, I am Helin Vankin, I am Artyom's new wife," Helin said as Alisa is shocked with Artyom looking quite confused by this.
Alisa and Artyom look upon her as she is a young Russian woman around Artyom's age for she has short red hair, bright brown eyes, pale white skin, and is standing 5'1 tall. She is wearing a pink dress fitting her slender yet womanly body with her wearing a pair of red shoes matching the color of her lips.
"Who are you?" Artyom asked as Helin looks disappointed by this.
"Oh; come on, remember the girl you saved so long ago in the Metro?" she asked.
"Oh Helin, I haven't seen you in a long time," he said as Helin grows a big smile as Alisa is even more confused.
"You know her?" she asked.
"Yes, I used to know her when we were kids at Exhibition station but when she turned 15 years old she and her uncle got kicked out of the station for unknown reasons. My stepfather never told me what happened," Artyom said.
"I am going to take a wild guess and say she is a Nazi Sympathizer," Alisa said feeling guarded wanting to protect him as Helen has a dismissive look on her face.
"Slut; speak when you are spoken to," Helin said as they both felt pure malice from her sweet voice.
"You are with the Stormguard?" Artyom asked feeling happy to see his old friend but now feeling quite disappointed.
"I am the leader of the group after my uncle died a couple of years back," Helin said sounding happy again when talking to Artyom.
"What but why? You used to be so kind but you're a Nazi now?" he asked as Helin goes up to the bars to reach up to stroke his cheek tenderly and give him a warm smile.
"I am a kind person but I was raised to a Nazi by my uncle. The same person then and the same person now," she said.
"What?" he asked sounding dumbfounded.
"Come on Artyom, things are not always so black and white within the Metro. You know that," Helin said.
"Fuck off, he doesn't need someone like you," Alisa said.
"Like I need some fat cow to tell me what my man wants," Helin said.
"Cow," Alisa said getting annoyed with her already.
"Come on, my darling. I need you to come with me," Helin said.
"No," Artyom said.
"Oh, don't be silly sweetheart," Helin said as Artyom gives her a fearsome look which made her flinch. "Oh, don't be mean sweetie," Helin said.
"I am serious, you are wasting your time," Artyom said.
"Oh, come on, you don't need this cow whore. You have me," Helin said in a sickly-sweet voice.
"Cow," Alisa repeated.
"Why bother to do this. Go to the trouble to find me?" he asked.
"Well I had a terrible life and the whole station was against me, especially after my parents' death. You were there giving me your warmth and compassion, it left a big impact on me Artyom. I fell in love with you Artyom and I wanted to be your wife," she said.
"Helin," he said as he looks into Helin's brown eyes to see pain and loneliness there. "I can't be with you," Artyom said not moving at all.
"Why not?" she asked feeling a sharp sting in her heart with her warmth in her eyes slowly becoming icy.
"I can't be your husband, it doesn't work like that, I have someone else in mind," Artyom said to place his hand onto Alisa's making her heart leap.
"Oh Artyom," Alisa said as Helin looks on with disgust.
"So, you still under this bitch's spell. I bet you are tempted by her big breasts, I bet her bra is stuffed," Helin said.
"Yeah these are all-natural," Alisa said to pump out her chest making them bounce under her white shirt.
Helin watches them bounce to feel disgusted by them as she looks at Artyom staring at them for this made her angrier. "Well my dear, I will change that," she pulls out a pistol and fires it at Artyom. Artyom didn't get a bullet but a dart in his arm for he quickly gets knocked out.
"Artyom, Artyom," Alisa said to shake her partner for he doesn't respond. "What did you do to him?" Alisa demanded getting very upset by this.
"Relax sugar tits, I got him with a sleeping agent made by little old me," Helin said as she lets out a sweet demonic laugh. "I am going to take him and I am going to make my unison with my sweetie official. We will be husband and wife until the day we die," Helin said.
"Wait marriage?" Alisa wondered getting caught off guard by this as Alisa summons her men to come into the prison room. "I will not let you get away with this," Alisa said.
"Too bad, I am going to be with him forever. You will forever be a fat Korean whore," Helin said as a man grabs Artyom with another shoving Alisa away into the corner of the cell. "Well boys, you can have fun with her. Play with her as much as you like," Helin ordered as she and the man carrying Artyom go out of the room.
"Artyom no," Alisa said as she gets onto her feet as a man goes behind Alisa getting her into an arm lock around her neck.
"Oh, you smell pretty, and your breasts are quite big too. I would love to play with those," he said rubbing his other hand along her thin waist making Alisa want to vomit from his disgusting touching,
"In your dreams," she bites his fingers making him flinch as she slips out of his grip. She kicks him in the nuts to knee him in the stomach.
She gets hit by an electric shock from a makeshift taser to stun her in place. Another man kicks her in the head as she falls onto her back with the men leering at her with lustful eyes.
"This one has a pretty face and lovely curves along with it. Let's have some fun boys," the lead man said for the 8 men are circling her within the cage. Alisa is frozen with fear as she doesn't have her pistol leaving her defenseless.
"Please let me go," Alisa begged for their mercy but they hold her down to tie up her arms and legs unable to move.
One of the men pulls up her white shirt to see her large breasts covered by her pink bra as they look on with lust. "Damn, her tits look great. They are F Cups, so full and soft," the man said licking his lips as this is making Alisa feel scared beyond belief.
"I can't believe this, I am going to get violated. I have to think of something," she said as she started to cry as the men are laughing at her with Alisa looking defeated and helpless.
"Keep crying, taking your pussy is going to get even sweeter with those tears," the man said as they pull down her pants to see her pink panties. "She got a big ass too, we hit the jackpot boys," he said as she looks and sees a grenade hanging from the lead man's belt.
Alisa's mind clicks with a bright idea. "I got it," she said as she changes her expression from frightened to bold and sultry. "If you untie my hands. I can give you all a nice hand job," she said to put on a fake lustful voice.
"Well we got all day, no need to rush to the main course," the lead man said as he unties her hands. "Go nice and gentle," he said.
"Of course," she said as she reaches to pull the pin from the grenade with all the men in shock. She rolls out of the cage to get to a safe distance with the grenade exploding taking them all out at once.
"Well, that was close. I almost got gangbanged there," she said grabbing her Tanto dagger off the table to untie her feet. "I got to get out of here and find Artyom. Like hell I would let that fascist bitch get on man," she thought as that thought made a blush a bit. "My man; gee I got it bad. Well, I better save him from his crazy stalker," she said to fix up her outfit to grab her gun as well as Artyom's knife and Rex to put them into her backpack.
She checks her MP-443 semi-auto pistol and checks with all 17 rounds in the mag along with one in the chamber. "Okay, time to kill some fascist wannabes," she thought to go over to the dead guards to see if any weapons she can use.
She finds an AK-74M off the dead guard for its modified with a PK-A Reflex Sight, under-mounted makeshift grenade launcher, laser sight, adjustable buttstock, and a sound suppressor. "This rifle looks all tactical and such," she said as she slings the weapon on the side of her backpack to go through the fort trying to find a way out.
"Where am I?" she wondered to change the stock to make her fit against her smaller shoulder to aim her rifle into the halls. "Better find a vehicle and get out of here," she said as she gets behind the cover of a pile of crates to see a bunch of Stormguard guarding the hallway.
She lands multiple suppressed shots onto the guards' heads putting them down quite easily. She gets behind a crate to hear more guards coming in as she rolls into the hall to fire bullets dropping the enemies.
She goes down the stairs to see several Humanimals coming out of the cages to kill some of the guards. "Well shit, sucks to be them. Well not really," Alisa thought as she fires her weapons to take out multiple mutant humans as they rush at her.
One of the Humanimals grabs a barrel and tosses it at Alisa but she shoots the container out of the air for it explodes blowing a big hole on the floor. "Time to make my exit," she said to leap through the hole to be into the next floor.
"Big sis, are you there?" she asked as her earpiece is coming on.
"Oh, baby sister, where are you?" Alisa asked.
"We are coming in to save you and Artyom," she said as Alisa raises an eyebrow.
"We, who is with you," she asked.
"Hey, there; Miss Busty. Your little sister said you wanted a ride," Anton said on the radio as Alisa sighed.
"You got him to come along. Anyway, Artyom isn't here anymore," she said.
"You serious, what happened?" Natalia questioned.
"We can talk later, how far are you from the fort," Alisa said to slide behind a crate to see more Humanimals coming out of the cells to attack the Stormguards.
"Not too far, we are seeing the big old fort up ahead," Natalia said.
"Good, I will meet you by the gate," she said as she lobs a grenade from the underslung grenade launcher into the mixed crowd to see a pile of gore appear after the vicious blast rocks the hallway.
"Good luck Alisa," Natalia said to cut off the radio as she felt a Humanimal's hand to see its lower half blown off by the grenade and on the floor with lots of guts falling behind it.
"Oh no you don't," she pulls out her dagger to stab into its forehead with blood pouring onto the floor. "Why would they hold mutants here?" she wondered as she continues the vast hallways to see more Stormguards coming at her.
"Get the bitch, don't let her get away," the sergeant said as Alisa braced for more combat.
"Sir, we got more enemies outside in a truck," the grunt said.
"What," the sergeant said as Natalia is in the back of the truck to wield a makeshift RPG launcher to aim it at the gate for the rocket smashes the thick wooden gate to pieces.
"This kicks so much ass," Natalia said with a big grin on her face.
"It was worth every coin for one shot," Anton said as he wields his handgun in one hand to blast away multiple targets. They stop by the gate as Natalia gets out of the truck to fire at the Stormguards with her AK-74.
"Hey sis, get your big ass out here," Natalia shouted into the radio.
"Hey, the correct term for my booty is bottom-heavy," Alisa said as she gets out of the fort to see the duo waiting for her.
"Sure, whatever get inside," Natalia joked as Alisa comes in running and leaped into the truck.
"Okay," Alisa said as she is in the back of the truck as Anton drives on the dirt road heading down from the fort to go down a hill.
"We got trucks," Natalia said as several trucks with Stormguard soldiers shot at them.
"Oh great," Alisa lobs a grenade taking out a vehicle leaving it a smoking wreak. Bullets fly past Anton's truck with Alisa to open fire on the enemy vehicles with bullets piercing through the windows to strike the driver in the chest making the car crash into a tree.
"Crap," Anton said as a car is right beside them slamming into them. Natalia wields her machine pistol with one hand to rapid-fire into the car with bullets punching through the car killing off the driver and passengers.
Alisa is lobbing grenades from her AK's grenade launcher blowing away incoming enemy cars. "Incoming transports," Natalia said as more are coming from different routes firing at them.
She lobs more grenades to destroy the trucks with her using the last grenade against the truck blowing it up. "Crap, empty," Alisa said to return to her AK-74M firing at the vehicles shooting off the tires of two trucks making them skirt off the road.
"Oh no, one up ahead," Natalia said as a truck is coming at them down a hill. Anton aims his Bloodhound one-handed and fires a few shots to kill the driver as it swings around their car to crash into another.
Alisa reloads her rifle to hit the nearby car with a wave of bullets seeing it flip against the grass. They see no sign of enemy transports around them. "Good no more of those guys," she said as they go into an open field to be in the clear.
"Holy crap, that was crazy," Natalia said.
"That is impressive Alisa. You seem to have combat experience," Anton said.
"I and my sister got training from our dad who was a military guy," Alisa said.
"I see," Anton said to head back to their base site.
"Thanks, guys," Alisa said.
"Hey, it's your sister that hired me to bust you and Artyom. Speaking of which, where is he?" Anton asked as Alisa gives her little sister a big hug for what she did.
"Well; I and Artyom were captured by the leader of the Stormguard named Helin Vankin. She was Artyom's old friend but now she is a crazy stalker and forced Artyom to marry her," Alisa said.
"A Nazi Stalker, oh boy Artyom is so screwed," Natalia said.
"We need the information to find out where they are holding him," Alisa said.
"Well, I got some contacts around Whisper Wood. We will find him in no time," Anton said.
"I hope so, Artyom. I will come for you and I will protect you from that fascist bitch," Alisa said feeling more determined to save him from her grip.
Elsewhere Artyom is blindfolded not sure where he is as he struggles to move. "Where am I and what am I wearing?" he questioned as he hears Helin's sweet giggles which made his spine quiver.
"Okay sweetie, here it is," Helin said as she takes off the rag covering his eyes to see he is within an old church to see a bunch of male and female Stormguard members sitting in the benches.
"What the hell," he said looking puzzled to look at Helin. "Helin, why are you wearing a wedding dress?" Artyom asked as she is wearing a pale red frilly dress that matches the color of her hair with a veil covering her face.
"Because we are going to get married silly," Helin said as Artyom looks down to see he is wearing a black tuxedo and he is locked onto a movable table turned upright.
"Married, I don't want to get into this crazy bandit gang," Artyom said.
"Such mean words baby, they will be your family as well my love. I will protect you from that disgusting mutt, speaking of other women," Helin said noticed one of the females was checking her new husband to be. She draws out a Lolife magnum pistol and blasts her in the head with gore spreading across the floor.
Artyom's eyes widen at this but everyone else didn't seem to care about it. "What the fuck, why did you do that?" he asked.
"She is looking at you with lustful eyes, so I need to end her life," she said as he looks at the fear in everyone's eyes to see why she oversees the Stormguard.
"You murdered women for me?" Artyom asked sounding horrified by this.
"Of course, I need to keep my man safe from those whores," Helin said to show off a cute smile.
"I don't believe you would go this far. You need help badly," he said having sympathy for her.
"All I need is your love and complete devotion for me," Helin said as Artyom turns his head away from her in disgust. "Don't think your Korean slut will help you, this whole area is covered with my finest warriors. Believe me, baby. Your whore might as well be dead on arrival," Helin said.
Artyom needed to play along for he still has faith that his partner is going to save him. "I will marry you, Helin," he said as Helin is jumping for joy with her sporting a big smile.
"Oh sweetie, I am so happy. You see the errors of your ways soon enough," Helin said as they face the man who will wed them.
"Will you take this man to be your husband?" the man asked.
"I do," Helin said with her face filled with glee.
"Do you take this woman to be your wife?" the man asked.
"I do," Artyom lied but Helin goes up to kiss him on the lips for the room roars with excitement. Artyom felt her lips for him it felt empty as he wanted the lips of another woman, who will be the one to save him.
"Oh sweetie, we are going to have a good life together and we will have a family," Helin said giving him the sweetest of smiles that made Artyom's skin crawl.
"Alisa, hurry," he said as he was trapped in a den of wolves by an old friend who is warped by evil ideas and dark twisted love for him.
