BACK TO THE MOINTAINS III

BY: NAHUALMORPH

WARNING: Okay guys, just a little teasing in this one, but it's starting to get interesting, If you read the first two parts, you know what to expect of this one, if you haven't, you should, or you won't be able to understand this one.

As always, let me know if you liked it.

Steve and I were surrounded by a thick mist, the place was lit by a faint glow which source could not be determined, we were both naked, I hugged Steve and his body shivered at the touch of my soft fur. I looked at Steve in the eyes and saw my wolf face reflected in them, our faces got closer, each one enthralled by the other's look, finally, my lips touched his and we started caressing our bodies, something hard slipped between my legs and stated rubbing my testicles while my own member emerged form its sheath and rubbed between our stomachs...

I slowly opened my eyes, and discovered I was still on the plane, in my seat, with my head on Steven's shoulder, and drooling all over it!

I quickly moved my head away, and then I realized he had also fallen asleep and his head was resting upon mine, so by moving my head I woke him too.

"Fuck, shit... uh, sorry I dozed off " I said.

"Think nothing of it" said Steve "I fall asleep too, your head makes a pretty comfortable pillow, you know?"

I laughed nervously looking away from Steve, trying to find something to say, but Steve spoke first.

"Had a nice dream?"

"Yeah, why" Then I realized Steve was staring at my crotch, where a considerable bulge could be seen.

"Oh damn, sorry" If it weren't because of the fur in my face, Steve could have seen the severe blush in my face.

"No problem" said Steve "It happens some times"

My salvation came in the shape of Carlos's voice.

"Edgar, we have visual contact with the base"

"Excuse me" I told Steve.

I got up from my seat and went to the cockpit, as I entered, I saw what must be the base, an irregular monticule totally covered in snow.

Carlos had kept a low altitude to avoid a repeat of the horrible illusion that we saw earlier.

"Anything in the sensors?" I asked.

"Just like the ship" said Peter "Nothing"

"take another look around the compound and make a general scan again."

The compound was massive, It must had a surface of 2 or 3 square kilometers, to the right was what should be the labs and the living quarters, to the left was the excavation site, the entrance to a cave and a few snow cats were still visible amongst the snow.

I didn't wanted to return to my place, so I stayed in the cockpit.

The cave in the excavation site signaled the end of the compound. I raised my sight and for the first time I saw that enormous mountain. It must have been over 20000 feet high.

It was obviously the one mentioned in Lovecraft's book, I shivered just by thinking what could be in the summit.

"Sir"

"What is it Pete?"

"I'm picking up a severe change in air density and pressure, There's a storm coming, a big one"

"How long before it gets here?"

"It's already here"

Suddenly, the plane was hit by a strong wind burst, the impact sent the plane to the left and we almost hit the mountain, but Carlos managed to keep the controls steady.

"We have to take this down now" yelled Carlos

"Hold on" I told him " there! Direct the heat of the engines to that snow cat"

"It's impossible" said Carlos " I can't control the ship."

"You have to, or we won't be able to enter the base"

Little by little, Carlos drove the plane until it was on top of a snow cat near the garage door. The snow that was covering the transport began to melt, but it was replaced by the snow carried by the storm.

"Okay" I told Carlos "On my signal, take us down the closest possible to the snow cat, then go with the rest and follow Maxine's orders"

I left the cockpit and picked my gun and my head-radio.

"What's going on?" asked Steve.

"Don't worry, it's just a storm" I told him while moving through the seats "Sly, hold my gun please"

"Yes sir"

"Max, you're in charge, as soon as the plane lands, take everybody to the cargo area, but don't open the ramp until I say so."

"Where are you going?" asked Max.

"I'll open the garage door"

I went to the cargo area and pressed the button to open the access ramp. It opened and a blast of cold air and snow entered.

"Now Carlos!"

Carlos was 6 ft from the snow cat, without wasting time I jumped off the plane and ran towards the door, I shoot the door open and started the snow cat, slowly, it began to move and I drove it towards the door of what should be the garage. As it moved, the snow cat was opening a path through the snow.

The others were watching from the plane's ramp.

"Do you think he's still just a cocky guy Max?"

I finally reached the garage entrance.

"Now Max!"

"Form 3 lines and run towards the garage!"

Peter and Carlos joined the group, after everybody left the plane, Carlos pressed a button and the access ramp slowly closed.

By then, the garage entrance was already cleared and I was trying to remember the right password to open the door.

The team ran the 300 feet between the plane and the door through the increasing storm, When they reached the door I had already accessed the right password and the big metallic curtain had started opening.

"Everybody inside!" I yelled.

We all got in and I closed the curtain and turned the lights on.

"We'll follow the same procedure we did on the boat, we'll check the entire area and we'll meet again here."

Sly gave me my rifle back.

"Thanks"

I pulled a small holographic projector and a 3-d image of the compound appeared in the center of the garage, the control and surveillance room was to the right of the garage.

"We'll go here first " I said "Then we'll decide what to do"

"Why is there ice in the compound?" asked Robin.

Then I realized, the floor, the walls and the vehicles were covered with a layer of ice.

"If the doors have power to open" continued Robin "and the automatic lights work too, what happened to the artificial weather?"

"The base must be using only the reserve energy" said Sandra "Maybe the generators aren't working"

We opened the door that lead to one of the main corridors, to our left was the arsenal and to our right was the control room, we entered it, only two computers worked after Peter tried all of them.

"Sandra is right" said Peter "the base is operating only with the energy reserves, some one has to check the generators, otherwise, the doors in the restricted area won't open."

"We'll see that in due time" I said "we'll search what we can of the base and see if we can find any survivors, teams 3 and 4 will check the recreation area and the living quarters, team 2 and 1, to the general services area"

We split, teams 3 and 4 went to the right, and we went in the opposite direction.

You could tell right away this was a military compound, all the rooms were similar, square or rectangular, all with white walls, the furniture in the most efficient possible ways.

We entered the first door to our right, opposite to the garage, it was the kitchen, two doors lead to the mess hall and the aliments storage, the kitchen was empty, all items in place and the stove and oven looked like they haven't been used lately.

"Ash, Kim, Peter, check the supplies storage, the rest, let's go to the mess hall."

"Yes sir!"

We entered the mess hall, there were several rows of tables lined up with six chairs each. There was a device holding a big tv and a dvd player in a corner.

At the same time, Ash, Kim and Peter entered the supplies storage, it was a pretty big room, there were several shelves with all kinds of canned food. In the opposite wall to the one they entered, there were several sacs apparently with seeds and beans of some sort, next to them was a huge freezer for meet.

Ash neared the door and pulled of the handle, but the door was frozen.

"help me" he told peter "Kim, cover us"

Kim positioned herself a few feet from the door while Peter and Ash pulled.

Finally, the door opened with a crack, Ash motioned for Kim to wait and then told Pete to follow him. They both entered the freezer. There were, as expected, big pieces of meat hanging from several hooks. In one of the corners, there were two human bodies cuddled against each other, a man and a woman, both with white coats.

"Shit" muttered Peter, then pressed the tiny button behind his ear "Nahualmorph, we have two bodies here"

The door to the recreation area slowly opened and the lights went on, Alex peeked inside.

"Ok, it's clear"

Alex entered and the rest followed.

Another big room, there was a tennis and basket ball court in the center. In one of the walls, there was a stock of balls, a small stereo a refrigerator and a few racquets.

"Everything seems to be in order" said Robin.

"Perfect" said Sandra "let's head towards the next room.

The door closed behind Howard and he looked at the hallway that was in front of him, there were doors in both sides of it, 3 to the right, 4 to the left.

"Split and check every room" said the agent.

Sly, Donald and Bill entered each in a room, those were the living quarters of the base personal. There were other items, obviously, personal belongings, a few games, some posters, porno, even some dope.

The fourth door to the left, the last one, was not an entrance to any room, When Bill opened it, the lights didn't responded, Bill lit his lamp, it seemed to be just a hallway, there was a closed door in the other end, according to the maps, the hallway connected to the other rooms, slowly, Bill started walking through the hallway, in midway, he bumped something, pointing the light towards the floor, he found a small hatch closed with a lock, he remembered an emergency, alternate way to the generators room, which was in the restricted area.

Bill pressed the button for his radio.

"Nahualmorph..."

The bodies in the freezer were from two scientists, molecular biologists, that's what their Ids said. I was wondering why would they be in a freezer that could only be closed by the outside, I was thinking about that while I watched them. Kim, Lisa and Max were checking the food supplies, Carlos approached to me and asked.

"What do you think?"

"I don't know, it seems unlikely they were locked in by their companions."

"Who knows..." said Carlos smiling "Remember The shining?"

"Don't start" I said punching his back "besides, the dude from that movie went nuts because of the isolation, according to the files we were given there were 54 persons here, and it looks like they had plenty of things to entertain themselves."

"Nahualmorph..."

"What is it Bill?"

"I found the emergency access to the generator room, it's in the living quarters, hallway A."

"Perfect, have you checked everything?"

"Sly and agent Jonhson are checking the remaining rooms on Hallway B"

"We're on our way, hold your positions"

Right then, Peter, Steve and Ash entered the storage room.

"Well?" I asked.

"The meeting hall and the video storage are empty, we still need to check the nursing area and the infirmary, we can't get into the medical storage or the arsenal until power is reestablished" said Ash.

"Good, let's join the rest" then I talked to Sandra "Sandra, how are you guys doing?"

"Recreation area clear, nothing to report"

"join Bill and the rest"

Soon we were all in the hallway Bill had found.

"What's left?" I asked

"Nursing, infirmary, bathrooms, showers" said Steve.

"Daniel, Howard and Ash, you'll check the baths, Donald, Bill and Sly, you'll turn the generators on, Peter, you'll go to the surveillance room and as soon as the generators are on get all the doors opened and all the systems activated, the rest of us will go to the restricted area access door, we can check the nursing area on our way. Let's go!"

We all left the hallway, except Donald, Bill and Sly, they entered through the small hatch. As soon as we left the rooms, Daniel, Howard and Ash ran towards the right, and we went to the left, in the next corridor, Peter entered the surveillance room.

"Lock the door and turn the signal receiver on"

"Yes sir"

Peter locked the door and the rest continued our way.

The corridor Bill and the others were going trough was very small, Sly could barely move, there were big pipes on both sides and there was a long line of cables running above, they finally reached the other hatch, they opened it and climbed the stairs. The machinery room was totally dark, the three of them lit their lanterns.

"We have to search for the switches" said Donald.

They began checking the five huge generators in the room.

"we have a problem here" said Sly "This generator is damaged"

Meanwhile, we were at the restricted are access door, the indicator ligth was off.

"nahualmorph..."

"What is it Bill?"

"We have aproblem, one of the generators is damaged"

"can you fix it?"

"Yeah, give us 15 minutes"

Then i talked to the others.

"Looks like we have some extra time, Kim, Lisa and Alex, check the infirmary, Carlos and Steve, we'll check the nursing area.

"Yes sir"

Fortunatelly, both areas were in the same corridor we were, so, we only had to walk a few steps back.

In the oment i opened the nursing area door, Daniel, Howard and Ash showed up.

"Anything?" i saked.

"Nothing" said Ash "Shower rooms are secure"

"Good, join the rest, we'll be there in a minute"

The nursing area was a big, rectangular room with several beds lined on both sides. All equiped with monitoring and life support systems.In the wall, there was a big glass self hermetically closed with lots of sirgery intruments. There was a total of 16 beds, five of them had curtains around them, which made impossible to know if they were empty.

I nodded toeards Steve and Carlos and we slowly approached to the nearest covered bed, i extended my arm to move the courtin and when i was about to touch it, Alex voice sounded through my speakers.

"Infirmary checked, nothing to report"

I nearly dropped my gun because of the surprise.

"Got it, meet with the rest"

I reached for the curtain again and pulled it, the bed was empty, we all breathed in relief and checked the next one, which was also empty, we moved towards the third hoping to find it empty too, it kind of was, kind of...

Even before opening the curtain, our nose told us everything we needed to know, at least it didn't represented immediate danger. I pulled the curtain to let Steve see what Carlos and i already knew was there. In the middle of the bed was a huge pool of frozen blood. It was a lot, probably more than you could find in a sinlge average human being.

"What do we do now?" asked Carlos.

"We'll check the other beds" i said "We can deal with this later"

We checked the other two beds, empty, and returned with the others.

In the machinery room, Donald and Bill had finished reparing the generator.

"Done" said Bill "Turn it on Sly"

Sly pushed the power button and the generator began roaring.

"Nahualmorph, sir, we solved the problem we're turning the generators back on"

"Perfect, stay where you are Sly, we'll meet you in a moment."

Suddenly, all the systems activated themselves, the label of the access door lit and we noticed the temperature bagun to rise.

"Peter, talk to me"

"All systems on line" answered Peter "what's our priority?"

"Check the surveilance cameras, tell me if you find something unusual"

i entered the security code and slipped the access card, the door opened, to our rigth was the corridor that lead to the generator room, so we started moving towards there. We were halfway ehen i started feeling something. It felt like when we were on the plane, but less intense.

"Edgar" Carlos placed his hand on my shoulder.

"I know"

"Nahualmorph..."

"I know Sly, get out of there, we're going"

"I'm scared" said Kim, "the odd thing is that i don't know why"

"We're all feeling the same thing" i told her "Calm down"

"I don't feel anything" said Daniel.

"Neither do i" said Sandra.

The generators room was rigth in front of us, the door opened and Donald, Bill and Sly came out.

"What's happening?" asked Bill

"I don't know" i answered, then i talked to Peter "Pete, do you see anything in the cameras?"

"No, they seemed to have stopped working."

"Don't you feel anything strange?"

"No"

I turned to talk to the others, but I froze before u could speak. Behind them appeared a shapeless, jelly thing, transparent, everybody turned in time to see it began to grow until it was 7 Ft high. None of us moved, all we do was stare at the horrible creature before our eyes. Making an effort I regained control of my body and as soon as it started moving towards us I lifted my gun and opened fire, the bullet exploded at impact and released its content. The soggoth (what else could it be?) began to convulse, the mass extended and contracted several times. The others reacted and began shooting too, every bullet exploded mixing the contents with the proto materia the soggoth was made of creating a chain reaction that destroyed its body little by little. When the shooting ceased, there was only a steamy black pool in front of us. Our sensitive noses immediately got the stink coming from it and soon we were all coughing, even the humans.

"I'm not sure" said Lisa "but I believe that steam could be toxic."

"The liquid is acid" said Alex "We can't go through there"

"Peter, can you get us out of here?" I asked through the radio "A soggoth just attacked us"

"That may explain why the cameras stopped working" said Pete "It probably destroyed them, is everybody ok?"

"Yes, but we need to get out of here, we can't go back using the same hallway."

"Go back to the generator room, walk straight until you find another door, you'll came out on the other side of the restricted area."

"Got it" I said "If the cameras don't work, see if there is other way to know what's in there"

"Roger"

We all went back to the generator room, we made a line and moved between the noisy machines. Finally, we stopped in the door that lead to the corridor.

"Peter, is it clear?" I asked

"Wait... yeah, there's nothing there"

We opened the door and came out to a long corridor, there were 12 laboratories in the restricted area, near to the access door, was the autopsy room, the morgue and the specimen storage.

"You know what's next" I said "Let's check everything, the same teams, I'll go to the morgue and the storage, be aware at all time, if you are in need of opening fire, check your location and make sure you have a clear exit"

"Yes sir!" they answered and we separated once again.

The specimen storage turned out to be a small room, there were several black bags piled up in a corner and a shelve with glass recipients of different sizes, inside this recipients, there was what could only be identified as the organs of some ancients, they weren't like the organs of any known animal. Our nose, once again allowed Carlos and I to know what was in the bags before opening them. As soon as we sensed the smell, we both began to shiver.

"Are you okay?" asked Steven.

"no, I can't think clear" I answered "That smell freaks me out"

"Me too," Said Carlos.

"What do you mean?" asked Lisa "I can't smell anything."

"The smell that comes from the creatures" said Carlos "we can sense it ever through the closed bags"

Steven approached one of the bags and slowly opened it uncovering the mutilated corpse of an ancient.

"Now I can feel it" said Lisa "It's unpleasant, but it doesn't affects me like it does to you."

"Well, it makes a big mess to our senses" said Carlos "Would you mind closing the bag?"

Steve closed the bag.

"I don't think we need to open the rest" I said "It's pretty obvious they have the same thing"

"Then I think we should go check the morgue" said Lisa.

We were on our way there when Peter contacted us.

"There's movement on the C-2 lab, I think it's a soggoth."

"All teams, report" I said.

"Team 2, we're on lab A-4" answered Max.

"Team 3 we're on lab A-2" said Sly

"Team 4, we're on lab B-1 we're close," said Alex.

"Nobody move yet" I ordered "Peter I need confirmation."

"I have nothing on the cameras, only the motion detectors... wait... confirmed, it's a soggoth, two meters from south door, three meters from east door."

"Now?" asked Alex.

"Now" I answered "Two in each door, let Peter guide you"

"Once you came out of the lab, Daniel and Sandra wait" said Peter "Alex and Robin, go to your left and turn in the corner, when you reach the other corner, the east door will be the one at your right, Daniel and Sandra, go trough the hallway in front of you, the south door is the second door to your left."

"We're in position" said Daniel.

"Same here" said Alex "There's definitely a soggoth inside that room, I'm shaking guys"

"Easy Alex, focus, " I said "On the count of three, everyone got inside and shoot at the center of the room, 1,2,3!"

They all entered the lab and started shooting, just as Peter said, The soggoth was in the center of the room, the shots impacted his body and it began to convulse like the one we killed before, a few seconds later, it was reduced to another pool of dark smelly liquid.

"Threat neutralized" said Sandra.

"Very good" I said "Get out of there, Peter, keep checking, let's end this quickly."

After a few minutes, every room was cleared and we were all at the entrance of the restricted area.

"The morgue is empty" said Carlos "and it doesn't look like it's been used."

"There's a big crystal container on lab B-5" said Max "It's broken, what ever was there, escaped, we also found some files."

"We'll check those in a moment" I said, then I talked to Peter "Peter, status report"

"The place is a tomb, besides us, it's deserted, all systems are fully operational"

"The radio too?"

"It works, but there's some kind of interference, we're excommunicated."

"Go to the meeting hall, we'll analyze the situation and see what can be done."

"I'm on my way"

When Peter reached the meeting room, we were already there, all the compound was nicely warmed up by now, so we took our heavy coats off.

"What do we do now?" asked Peter as soon as he entered the hall.

"We continue with the mission," I said We have to find out what happened to this people, there are three corpses, including the one we found in the boat"

There were three planes in the ship's hangar" said Steve "two are missing"

"It's true," said Max "There might be survivors somewhere"

"The search for survivors is our main priority" I said " Here's what we're going to do, Peter and Kim, go back to the surveillance room, search for anything that indicates what happened here, surveillance videos, records, anything, Howard and Daniel, go to the next room and do the same, Sly, you and I will go to the arsenal and the medical storage, the rest, take a breath"

There were several medicine filled shelves in the medical storage, along with some healing items, some things seemed to be missing.

"Steven, see if you can get a list of all the medicines" I said trough the radio.

"I'm on it"

"Let's go to the arsenal" I told Sly "I'm sure we'll find some weapons missing too"

"Yes sir" said Sly.

Just as I thought, there were some empty spaces in the arsenal, although, lots of guns still remained, from the average pistols, to cyclic range rifles.

"What do you think of this?" I asked Sly.

"It looks like the already had an idea of what they were going to find here, but this weapons are not customized, they fire regular bullets" said Sly.

"Yeah, that intrigues me, let's go back with the others."

When we returned to the meeting hall, Peter and Kim weren't there yet, Howard, Daniel and Steven were still searching in the files storage.

"What do we do now?" asked Steve.

"Now we wait..."

To be continued? Of course!
