Chapter 26: Rachel the Valkyrie
After the battle at the city gates, Rachel was captured by Valkyries to take her to a lab under an abandoned factory. Rachel is stripped to her underwear to be set into a chair to be tied down prepared to take the Valkyrie serum. "What are you going to do to me?" Rachel asked as one of the Valkyrie was holding a needle filled with a blue liquid.
"To become one of us, big sister," the Valkyrie said with her voice focused and calm to stick it into her neck. She injects the serum into her body as she begins to transform into a Valkyrie. Rachel went through severe pain as this blacked her out.
"Good, seems like her body is getting used to it. Put her in her testing labs and wait for her to wake up," Linda said on the radio.
"Yes madam," the Valkyrie said as one of them easily carried her to bring her to the testing labs.
Within the hour, Rachel wakes up to only be in her underwear to be within a cell. "Where am I," Rachel said as something feels weird about her now. "Oh my, what is happening to me?" she asked.
"Oh, you are awake my dear. Welcome to the testing labs, this is where I put my Valkyries through the paces. By the way, you are a Valkyrie now, a super soldier," Linda said as Rachel looked over to see a mirror to see she had gotten taller and curvier.
"Oh my, I am taller now and my boobs," she said as she went from 5'10 to 6'0 tall. Her breasts have grown from 36G cup to 38H cup. "They have gotten bigger too," she said the sports bra maintains to hold them in due to them being stretchy. She looks like her booty and hips are bigger and wider with the panties being able to hold them in pretty well. She also noticed how tight and flat her waist is with her maintaining her perfect hourglass shape but in a taller and curvier form now.
"Yes, you have reached your human peak potential. Meaning you are faster, stronger, and durable than the finest human athletes. You are capable of lifting around 8 times your body weight over your head, running at speeds beyond 30 mph, and maintaining strenuous physical activity for over half a day without tiring," Linda said but she seems to love talking about her genius and not caring about Rachel's feelings.
"Goodness, I am female Captain America," Rachel said.
"Pretty much. Grab your suit and weapons, I want to see what the original can do," Linda said looking at the camera to see Rachel get out of her cell to go up to the armory to see her suit.
"Can this fit me still?" she wondered.
"Don't worry, that suit is flexible," Linda said as Rachel got back into the combat suit for it fits like a glove despite her body having grown.
"It fits," she said as she looked down on a bench to see an armored vest. "It matches the colors of my suit," she said.
"That is the Valkyrie armored vest. It is made of the highest quality of Dragon Silk, able to stop 50 BMGs several times without failure, and with powerful shock absorption materials it will keep you safe," Linda said as the vest covers Rachel's chest until it stops by her belly button.
"Very light as well," she said as she put on the tactical harnesses onto her combat suit. She finds her backpack to put it back on to grab some weapons. "Oh, my Tanto dagger," she said to see it there and put on her leg holster.
She finds a SAW-K light machine gun chambered for the 6.8 SPC rounds. She adjusted the stock to notice how this machine gun felt very light in her hands.
"Wow, like I am wielding a plastic toy. This is nuts," Rachel said as the machine gun had 200 rounds in its ammo box. She grabs an ATI Omni AS which is an AR-15 style full auto shotgun chambered for the .410 gauge shells. The gun comes with a 30-round quad-stack magazine.
She grabs an XDM 10mm pistol to put it into her pistol hoister on her leg while grabbing ammo. "I would give you a Valkyrie helmet but you have to make do with what you have," Linda said on the speakers.
"Fine," she said as she got to the door which leads into the testing chambers. "I need to find a way out of here and get back to the others," she thought as she wielded her machine gun with the door sliding open.
"Begin the test, you will be facing target dummies and I will be marking your time," Linda said as Rachel was running with her surprised at how light she felt to raise her machine gun to shoot the dummies to strike them at the certain areas like center mass and the head.
The SAW-K comes with a Holo sight to look through to place her shots onto the targets to tear into them. She slides through a hole in the wall to be within a large area with a bunch of targets popping up. Rachel's lightning reflexes kick in to pump accurate rounds into the targets wiping them out within a few seconds.
"As you can see, your mind has been boosted allowing you to react to threats very quickly beyond peak human levels," Linda said as Rachel jumped onto a crate but she overpowered herself to land on top of a high position on a crate.
"Oh crap," Rachel said as she sees more targets down below to use her SAW-K to put them down. She leaps back onto the floor to wipe out the other targets to clear the room to go into another set of rooms. She switches to her ATI Omni As to rapidly tear through the dummy targets to move through the doors to take out more dummies.
Rachel can see a metal door as she shoves against it to breach it open to fire her full auto shotgun to blast away at the moving targets. She tosses a Frag grenade to take out all the targets in the room to move into the next room to rapidly blast several targets.
She managed to empty the shotgun to switch to her 10mm pistol to shoot the remaining dummies to clear this section of the training lab. She didn't feel tired at all despite going full run and firing her guns without pause.
"Interesting, you cleared it faster than the others. Makes sense, you are an experienced agent with the powers of a Valkyrie. Now the next testing chamber will have defense turrets trying to kill you. Destroy them to clear the next testing phase," Linda said as she kept observing to watch her progress.
She reloads her shotgun with another 30-round magazine to see a bunch of turrets scanning around. She gets out of the machine's range to blast them with buckshot to destroy them. One of the turrets pops out of the wall to fire at Rachel managing to nail her in the chest. Her armored vest blocked the 50 BMG shot to knock her across the room to slam into a wall.
"Goodness, that kicks," she said feeling quite bruised as the Dragon Silk armored vest managed to block the powerful shot without damaging it. She noticed her bruises were quickly healing up and the pain was gone.
"Seems like your metabolism is kicking in. It's now supercharged allowing it to heal much faster than humans. Also, this makes you have immunity to disease, illness, and poison known to man due to your bodies' ability to process it faster than the effects can cause harm to their body," Linda said.
"That is insane," she said as she took cover from the gun turrets to be taken out by Rachel's precise shooting with her SAW-K reducing them to scrap metal. She tosses a Shock grenade which disables a bunch of turrets to follow up with powerful shots.
She finds a gate which she needs to move. She grabs the bars to use her new raw strength and lifts them into the ceiling to open the path forward. "So fast and strong," she said in awe of her new abilities as she drew her machine gun to cut down the turrets.
"Enjoying your new abilities," Linda said.
"Yes, it's very exciting to use them," Rachel admits she is enjoying her new abilities as she rolls away from a hail of gunfire to fire into several turrets wiping them out.
"Good, you will become the leader of the Valkyries. Working with our mistress to make a better world," Linda said.
"I am not doing that," Rachel not arguing with this.
"Well, you will have no choice. Once you are done with the tests, you will be brainwashed into our services," Linda said as Rachel was on edge with her getting closer to being a villain.
"Oh no, I need to find a way out of here," Rachel thought as a turret fires smoke grenades to blind her visions. The turrets use their thermal sensors to try to shoot at Rachel. She got hit in the chest a few times to knock her across the floor.
"Gee that stings," she said as the bruises quickly healed up with her taking cover. She fires her LMG to use her enhanced vision to make out the outlines of the turrets to destroy to clear the second part of the test.
"Good. Now you will be fighting live targets with Ooze and all subtypes. Keep making it interesting for me to watch," Linda said on the speakers as someone was sneaking through the labs to see Rachel on the screens.
"There you are Miss Busty; did she get taller? Seems like she got the serum already, thankfully she is not brainwashed yet," the man said as Rachel came into the room to see Ooze coming out of the panels on the side.
"Oh, they came from there, I need a way to breach that," she thought as she used her ATI Omni AS full auto shotgun to blast the Oozes in the head to make them melt onto the floor. A Brute charged at Rachel to leap over the rushing Ooze.
She gets behind the beast to unload a bunch of buckshot into its back at rapid speeds. The barrage stuns the beast and she delivers a swift kick to knock the big monster into a wall to finish it off with a set of buckshot into its chest and head.
A Pincer is going to strike her but she uses her Tanto dagger to deflect the strike and counterattack by delivering a strong kick to knock it onto the floor. She uses her ATI Omni to blast the Pincer in the head killing it instantly.
An Ooze goes to punch Rachel but she dodges and kicks the Ooze onto the floor to finish it off with a stab attack. She switches to her SAW-K to let waves of 6.8 SPC rounds tear through the Oozes.
"You are quite impressive, no wonder you give the others trouble. That will not be a thing anymore," Linda said as a bunch of Tricorne on top of platforms to fire bone arrows at Rachel. She uses her dagger to deflect incoming projectiles to knock them away.
She uses her machine gun to take out the Tricornes in short order as the room begins to glow bright red. "What is the meaning of this?" Linda questioned.
"Yo Rachel, I got your back," Peter said within her earpiece.
"Peter, you came for me," she said.
"Yep, a favor from your boyfriend. Go through the hatches the Oozes used. You can escape there," Peter said.
"Thanks," Rachel said as one of the hatches slid open for her to go inside to see more Oozes coming at her. She unleashes the bullets from her machine gun to kill them off but she hears the gun running empty.
"Oh, no ammo for this guy," she said as she dropped the machine gun to use her full auto shotgun to move through the room to clear up Oozes making her escape. She finds an empty where the Ooze is stored and sees an exit she can use.
"Gee, that Peter coming here of all times. Undertakers, get the woman now," Linda ordered as Undertakers went on alert seeking out Rachel who is now a full Valkyrie.
Rachel gets into a hallway to head for the exit as several Undertakers show up with her blasting them with shotgun shells. She sees a grenade as she runs to the side of the wall to leap away from the explosion to roll on the floor and fire her shots to take out the enemies.
An Undertaker fires at Rachel to strike her chest to do no damage to her new sleek armored vest. She pops the Undertaker's head open as she is running low on shells. "This isn't good," she thought as she emptied the last shells into the last Undertakers.
She tosses her shotgun to wield her pistol and her Tanto dagger. She slides under the hail of gunfire with some bullets hitting her chest to bounce off her chest armor. She fires her pistol to take out several targets to uses her dagger to slice and slash into the Undertakers.
She kicks an Undertaker to launch it into a wall killing it via the impact breaking its back. She tosses her dagger to impale the Undertaker's head to wipe out a group of Undertakers with close-range punches and kicks. She grabs the Tanto to slice up necks and sever the heads of Undertakers.
"So useless just like some of your clones. Most managed to become Valkyries while others are failures. The rare few who failed become rejects like this Rachel clone who only resisted the T-Abyss virus becoming an Ooze. I was going to use her to test you but she is coming to you. She wants to meet you," Linda said with a cruel smile.
"Big sister," a female groaned in the hallways.
"What is that?" Rachel questioned as she aimed her pistol to see someone at the end of the hallway.
"Big Sister I want to give you a big hug," a twisted gentle voice said as one of the Rachel Clones transformed into a unique Ooze.
"Goodness, disgusting," Rachel said as she fired her 10mm rounds to cut into the Rachel Ooze but it didn't flinch her.
"Why did you reject me, I want to be loved by you," the Rachel Ooze lets out a bug scream to rush at Rachel.
"What are you?" she questioned.
"She is a Valkyrie Ooze, one of the rejects who failed to resist the T-Abyss virus. They are useful and much tougher than the Ooze. They have some of their intellect and personality intact but driven by bloodlust," Linda said as the bullet wounds from Valkyrie Ooze are rapidly healing to rush for Rachel.
"Give me a big hug sister," Rachel Ooze said as she tried to grab her. Rachel rolls out of the way to put rounds into her body but Rachel Ooze is unfazed by this. Rachel slices off a split limb from her broken body with her Tanto dagger but soon Rachel Ooze grows the missing limb back.
"This is not good," Rachel said as she began to run trying to find a way out of there.
"Big sis, come back," the Valkyrie Ooze is chasing after her. Rachel is running at full speed but the Rachel Ooze is chasing behind her. She fires her pistol behind her back trying to stop her but failing. The door is beginning to close down as Rachel goes into a dash and then slides to get ahead. The door slams shut with the Rachel Ooze banging against the solid metal door. "Come back," she begged.
"Sorry, I need to find the others," Rachel gets out of the lab to be within the ruined city of Redford. She goes into the city with only a pistol in hand. Rachel is on the street running away from a ton of Ooze to pull out her XDM pistol to shoot some in the head.
"Gee, just my luck," Rachel said as multiple groups crowded towards her in pursuit. A Farfarello was rushing through the crowd of Oozes to chase after Rachel baring its fangs ready to tear open her throat.
Rachel sees it leap onto a car for her to fumble on her butt on the ground. "Oh crap, still getting used to this," Rachel said as the monster leaped at her to aim and shoot several shots to cut into the head of the reptile. The creature falls onto the ground beside her and her heart is about to pop out of her chest.
"Oh goodness, this is too much," Rachel said as she noticed a building with lights in the top windows. "Someone is living out here. Are they crazy but it's my lucky day," she goes up to the door to see it's blocking the entrance. "I need a fire escape to climb up there," she thought as she ran around to avoid the group of Oozes.
Rachel sees a barrel of oil to drops it down to see it pour oil onto the ground for it hits the feet of the zombies. She fires her pistol to hit the oil to light up the Oozes on fire seeing them burn to a crisp.
"Barbeque seafood anyone," she thought as she saw a fire escape but it was out of reach. She moves some boxes to allow her to climb onto the ladder up to be on the level where the lights are. She knocks on the window as someone slides the window open to put a gun in Rachel's face. "Jack!?" Rachel shouted as Jack pulled his gun away glad to see her pretty face.
"Rachel," he said as she leaped at him to give him a big hug shoving her huge chest into his face.
"Oh Jack, you are like my knight in shining armor baby," she said as his face was pressed tightly against her bosom for Jack felt his heart racing from the softness.
"Gee did these get bigger?" he wondered as he pulled her inside. "Good to see you, Peter said you escaped with his help," he said.
"Yeah he was a lifesaver," Rachel said as she looked around the apartment to see it well-stocked. "Pretty cozy here," she said.
"Yeah, Peter hooked us up with this place. This building is pretty ruined and the Ooze can't get in here. Perfect for a safehouse within the city," he said as he looked at Rachel to see she had gotten taller and bigger in certain areas. "Seems like he was right, you became a Valkyrie right?" he asked.
"Yeah they wanted to use me to lead their Valkyrie and they call me big sister. It's kind of creepy and the Valkyrie serum has modified my body to reach its physical peak that is why my body has changed," Rachel said.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
"Honestly, I feel amazing. I feel like a real super soldier, I was a machine in those testing chambers. I can put these powers to good use on my missions going forward," Rachel said.
"Good, you are still my Sunshine," he said as Rachel sported her usual bright smile.
"You don't seem to be complaining about my new body," she said in a flirty tone as her chest had grown to an H Cup, and she stood 6'0 tall almost matching the 6'1 height of Jack. Her curves were still shapely and her bottom including her hips, butt, and thighs did get thicker. Her hourglass-shaped body still looks perfect.
"Yeah, but you are still that's what counts. The upgrades are just the frosting on an already great cake," Jack said.
"Thanks, baby, where is Elza?" she asked.
"She is scouting the area, she should be coming back right now," Jack said as Elza came through the window.
"Rachel, your back," Elza said to run up and hug her best friend. "Don't do dumb things like that. Picking a fight with those Valkyries is a death sentence," Elza said.
"Yeah but I am one now," Rachel said easily lifting Elza like she was paperweight.
"Oh boy, yeah Peter told us about it already. You okay?" Elza asked.
"Yes. I feel stronger and I got my suit an upgrade too," Rachel said pointing to the armored vest which looked modern and sleek not looking out of place on her Valkyrie battle suit.
"Gee, does getting a cup size increase part of being a super soldier? Your chest is a bit wider too," Elza said as she looked behind her to see how slick and shapely her back was.
"Yeah I am a bit bigger but I look about the same," Rachel said.
"Yeah, you do. You are still a big-titted goofball," Elza said as Rachel laughed at this.
"Yeah E, you are right," Rachel said.
"We should stay put; the Undertakers are fighting the hordes of Ooze all over the city. It's crawling with them," Jack said as Rachel sat on the couch to get a call from Peter.
"Seems like you are safe with your team," Peter said.
"Yeah, thanks to you Peter," Rachel said feeling grateful.
"Don't mention it, rest up. This is only going to get worse and your new Valkyrie abilities will be useful in the coming battles," Peter said as he cuts off the line with Rachel safe and sound in their new safehouse in an abandoned apartment complex.
