The Adventures of Larra Court

Episode 8

Larra and the Aryan Nightmare

 

Chapter 5  Breeding

 

 “Uunngh!” Katie grunted as the huge blonde German thrust into her.  She was spread-eagled on a padded grid, her body 45 degrees from the vertical.  The position itself was not uncomfortable but what was being done to her was. 

 

“Aaahh!” That cry came from Amy.  The exquisite redhead was being pounded by an equally large specimen of the Aryan race.  Both women had been approved for breeding by von Stumpel. 

 

Schallenberger and von Stumpel were there.  So was Sturm.  The brutal SS officer had a fixed grin on his face as he enjoyed the humiliation of the two women. 

 

“Interesting subjects,” Sturm commented.  “Perfect Aryan specimens.” 

 

Von Stumpel nodded.  “More than perfect,” he agreed.  “It is unfortunate that Miss Court’s bastardized heritage makes her unsuitable for such a program.”

 

“Indeed,” Sturm agreed.  “What do you intend to do to her?  I understand that she still refuses to tell us what we want to know.”

 

“Yes, but I believe she is close.  It will not take much to finish her off.”

 

“Why not let me deal with her?  I can be very persuasive.” 

 

Von Stumpel permitted himself a small smile.  “I am sure you can be, but I have one more card to play.  If it does not work you can have her.”

 

Sturm did not ask what von Stumpel meant.  He knew that he would probably learn soon enough.  The Nazi doctor picked up a phone.  “Bring Miss Gallant in here.”

 

 

Melissa stumbled as the Nazi guard pushed her.  She almost fell, catching her balance with difficulty.  She was heavily shackled, a precaution that in her exhausted condition she felt was entirely unnecessary.  But apparently her reputation as a dangerous adversary was being taken seriously. 

 

One of the guards opened a steel door in front of her.  Again the push in the back, but this time she was ready for it.  She adjusted her stride to compensate for it.  “Schlampen,” the guard who had pushed her muttered.  And then she was in the room.  Melissa’s eyes widened in horror.

 

“You scum,” she said.  “You filthy scum.”

 

The eyes of the two women who were being raped turned in her direction at the sound of her voice.  Neither spoke, but that one look said it all.  Melissa could hardly contain her rage, but she forced herself to remain calm.  It would do her little good to work herself into a frenzy. 

 

“Still feisty,” Sturm leered.  “Perhaps you should have let me entertain her.”

 

“Perhaps you still can.  Miss Gallant is fine breeding stock.  It would be an honour for her if you were to combine your genes with hers.”

 

Sturm nodded enthusiastically.  The idea of performing sexually in front of an audience was not exactly to his liking, but the thought of tasting the delights of Melissa’s exquisite body was too much to resist.

 

“Chain her up,” von Stumpel ordered.  Sturm began to pull off his clothes. 

 

Melissa did not resist as she was placed on the padded grid.  She had no hope of overcoming the German guards.  Frighteningly she was almost becoming used to being raped.  Almost.  She doubted that she would ever be comfortable with the idea of being taken against her will.  She prepared herself for what was to come.  Sturm was already naked, his phallus saluting her at a forty-five degree angle. 

 

“You’ll never break me,” Melissa said, as Sturm moved between her legs.  “Never.”

 

“Perhaps not,” Sturm replied.  “But I am going to enjoy trying.”   Without preparation he thrust into Melissa.

 

Melissa’s eyes went wide with pain, and she grunted involuntarily.  She closed her eyes.  She would not look at Sturm’s arrogant sneer as he raped her.  

 

Von Stumpel looked on approvingly.  It was only a matter of time before all of the breeding stock was impregnated.  His plan to scientifically breed the master race was well under way.  In the meantime he had a date with the Asian subhuman.  It seemed a shame to waste such a magnificent specimen.  He was looking forward to properly studying her.  He spoke to one of the guards.  “Bring the Asian woman to my laboratory.  Make sure that she is properly secured.” 

 

 

Jia Li tried to maintain her dignity as she was escorted from her cell.  She had been left alone ever since she and her companions had been brought to von Stumpel’s headquarters.  But she knew it couldn’t last.  The Nazis were not the sort of hosts who could leave female quests alone for very long.  Therefore, she had not been surprised when two guards had arrived at her cell. 

 

She was given no chance to escape.  The cell door was barred and she was required to approach the guards and allow them to shackle her before they opened the door.  Heavy metal bracelets were clamped on to each of her arms, just above the elbows.  These were connected to a chain that was drawn tightly across the small of her back, pulling her elbows together.  It was uncomfortably familiar bondage, and it prepared her for the worst.

 

The guards escorting her halted outside a heavy metal door.  They signaled the occupants of the room by pressing a buzzer.  The door slid open, revealing the tall blonde woman who had been with von Stumpel when she and her companions had been brought in.  The blonde said something to her, but Jia Li simply looked at her uncomprehendingly.  She did not speak enough German to understand what was being said.

 

“Stupid, subhuman bitch,” derided Schallenberger.  “Incapable of intelligent speech.  Bring her in.”

 

Von Stumpel gazed on the beautiful Asian.  In spite of her ancestry, she was a fine physical specimen.  It was too bad that she did not fit into his breeding program.  Still, there was no reason why he should not conduct some scientific research on her. 

 

“Thank you, Gertie,” he said to Schallenberger.  “I can handle things from here.  You may all go.”  His nod indicated the two guards as well. 

 

“Certainly, Herr Doktor,” Schallenberger replied.  “I hope you find your ‘research’ rewarding.”

 

Von Stumpel frowned.  The inferences in Schallenberger’s comment were obvious.  He was going to have to have a talk with her.  She was overstepping herself. 

 

He turned to the Asian beauty.  She was remarkably attractive.  Even under the shapeless prison costume he could make out her exquisite curves.  She was proportioned more like a European than an oriental.  “Come,” he said, taking her arm.  The dark-eyed woman stared at him uncomprehending, but his pressure on her arm was unmistakable.  Unable to resist, Jia Li allowed him to guide her to the pole where Melissa had been shackled. 

 

Alert for any chance of escape, she was forced to cooperate due to the fact that her ankles were shackled by a short length of chain.  There was little hope of taking out von Stumpel unless he was excessively careless and so far he had been more than careful.  He guided her from behind just in case by some miracle she might use her martial arts skills against him.

 

He studied the Asian beauty.  How best to restrain her?  He wanted a good look at her body, but it would be interesting to confine her in an unusual position.  He had an idea.  Moving behind her, he exerted pressure on her shoulders, forcing her to the floor.  He pulled a couple of chains down from the ceiling.  Each of them ended in padded leather straps perfect for restraining her without causing too much damage. 

 

Quickly he secured each of her ankles, and then drawing the chains tight, lifted her legs from the floor.  He kept on hauling on the chains until her feet were level with his groin.  He smiled in satisfaction.  That would be the perfect height.  Now for her arms.

 

He brought two more chains down and strapped leather cuffs onto each of her wrists.  Only when he was sure that she was helpless did he remove the shackles she had worn when she was brought to his laboratory.  She was now fettered by the wrists and ankles.  Pulling on the chains holding her wrists he lifted her torso off the floor.  He had selected chains that were not directly over her so that as the chains took her body weight, her arms and legs were pulled out to the side, leaving her spread-eagled about two and a half feet off the floor. 

 

“Excellent,” thought von Stumpel.  The oriental beauty’s arms and legs were pulled almost horizontal, placing tremendous strain on her body.  Already he could see the beads of sweat forming on her brow as she fought back against the pain of the unnatural position.  Now to carry out the examination. 

 

He went to his workbench and picked up a large set of scissors.  It took him only seconds to cut away the cheaply made prison garb she had been clad in.  Naked and completely vulnerable the exquisite body of the Chinese girl was fully exposed for his inspection.

 

 

Jia Li kept her flawless features impassive.  She had been trained to endure hardship, and had gotten tougher during her years as one of Larra’s companions.  Only twenty three years old, she had experienced a lifetime of adventure with Larra, and had spent years perfecting her Chinese martial arts skills.  Her flawless body showed it.  Von Stumpel had rarely looked upon such perfection.

 

He ran his fingers down her spine.  Her golden-brown skin was like satin.  He counted every vertebra in her spine, and then traced the smooth contours of her delicately rounded backside.

 

“Exquisite,” he thought.  So this was an example of a sub-human.  Perhaps he should breed her just to see what sort on interesting offspring she would produce.  Of course, he could not ask any member of the Aryan race to perform so degrading a task; he would have to do it himself.  His penis quivered at the thought.  It would not be such an unpleasant duty.  He suppressed his sexual instincts.  First he would record her vital statistics.  He took out his tape measure.   

 

“Bust 86 centimeters; waist 61; hips 86.  Perfect symmetry,” he thought.  He then measured her thighs, biceps, wrists, forearms, neck and the details of her breasts.  By the time he was finished, he was in an advanced state of arousal.

 

“Gott in Himmel!” she was beautiful.  She almost made him consider revising his theories on race.  But he knew that he should not be fooled by physical appearances.  It was the intellectual qualities that really counted.  And the Chinese slut could not possible match his intelligence. 

 

Jia Li focused her will.  She had to remain calm.  She was being subjected to a crude and degrading experience.  She wanted to twist away from the intrusive and probing hands of the Nazi scientist, but held herself still.  There was no way that she could escape him and her struggles would just give him greater pleasure.  Waiting calmly however was incredibly difficult.  It was only a matter of time before von Stumpel went from measuring her to something much more invasive.   Her supple body was stretched tight, her weight on her wrists and ankles, but the splayed position of her limbs placed tremendous tension on her shoulders and hips.  Her body weight was causing her joints to be slowly dislocated and the pain generated by such extreme pressure was excruciating.   Already the floor beneath her was splattered with droplets of sweat, as beads of moisture burst through her skin. 

 

Von Stumpel was now completely aroused.  But he fought back the impulse to have sex with his helpless victim.  He had to measure her breasts first.  He held his calipers to her left nipple.  11 millimeters.  Now to measure it erect.  He picked up a small cube of ice in a cloth.  He rubbed it on her nipple.  He noticed how the girl started a little as he stimulated her.  Her breathing quickened just a little.  God, he had to have her!  Quickly he finished his measurements.  16 millimeters.  Oh God, his testicles hurt.  He had to relieve the pain. 

 

Hurriedly he stripped off his clothing.  The girl hung motionless almost as if she was asleep.  He grinned viciously.  He would wake her up!

 

Jia Li stilled herself.  She could hear von Stumpel undressing and knew what was coming.  She was to be raped again.  In her helpless state there was nothing she could do to avoid it.  And it would do no good to beg for mercy.  Sadists like von Stumpel throve on such weakness.  She could only endure and hope that she did not disgrace herself by crying out.

 

Von Stumpel moved between the splayed legs of his helpless victim.  He could feel the warmth of her thighs as he moved between them.  He placed his hands in the hollow of her hips to steady her, and then thrust hard into her. 

 

The heat of her tunnel of passion radiated like a furnace.  Unable to contain himself, von Stumpel gasped in pleasure, and then holding her fast slammed into her in a fury of rutting.  For a few minutes, the Nazi doctor lost himself in a sexual frenzy, hammering her warm depths again and again until he suddenly exploded.

 

“Aaaahh!” cried von Stumpel.  Breathless, he staggered away from the woman he had just degraded.  He was surprised at his reaction.  He had just mated with a subhuman.  Why was it that he was so strongly drawn to the oriental goddess?  Taking her once would not be enough.  He had to have her again. 

 

Jia Li gripped the chains that connected to the cuffs on her wrists.  Pulling on them helped to ease the agony in her shoulders, but she would not be able to hold herself that way for long.  She had survived the rape, but she doubted that von Stumpel was finished with her.  Vicious cowards like the Nazi doctor seldom were.  Once he had recovered his ability to have an erection, she expected him to return.  Until then she could only wait and hope that the anguish she was suffering did not become too bad.  She tried to control her breathing, taking slow deep breaths. 

 

Von Stumpel dressed slowly, his eyes fixed on the suspended oriental.  Her flawless skin was bathed in sweat, gleaming like gold in the lights of the laboratory.  He could distinctly see the slow expansion and contraction of her diaphragm as she breathed.  Her perfect breasts quivered slightly as her body trembled with the strain placed on her limbs by her cruel bondage.  He knew that by now the pain she must be experiencing was truly excruciating, but the only sound she made was that of her laboured breathing.  Incredibly, he felt himself getting hard again.  So soon.  He had never had an erection this quickly after making love.  The woman was like some sort of aphrodisiac.

 

He did not fight it.  Something within him told him that he was making a mistake.  The Fuhrer had expressly forbidden relations between members of the Aryan race and subhumans, but he could not help himself.  The oriental goddess was like a drug.  Once he had possessed her, he had to have her again.  Moving behind her again, he slowly undressed, allowing his manhood to stiffen to once more then he took her again.

 

He entered her more slowly this time.  His first effort had been a blind assault.  He had stormed her defences like the Teutonic hordes on antiquity.  This time he took her like a lover.  The only sound his unwilling partner made was a slight intake of breath and a quickening of her breathing.  That was disappointing somehow, but he consoled himself with the fact that he could have her as often as he liked.  Eventually he would get some sort of response out of her.  For now he was content to display his power over her.  He could do whatever he wanted with her.  The first time he had taken her like a conqueror.  This time he would show her his gentle side, and in the process draw out his sexual pleasure for as long as possible.

 

Jia Li could hardly believe von Stumpel’s stamina.  The first time he had climaxed in just a few minutes.  The rape had been fast, hard, and very painful.  But this time he seemed inexhaustible.  He had been violating her for almost two hours and seemed in no hurry to finish.  He thrust into her slowly, prolonging his sexual pleasure beyond anything she had expected, and seemed in no hurry to finish.  Despite her conditioning, she was now tiring rapidly.  Despite her best efforts, she could no longer control her breathing.  She panted like a dog on a hot day, her mouth wide open as she attempted to suck in enough oxygen.  She still gripped the ropes, but no longer had the strength to lift her body.  Instead she hung limply while von Stumpel thrust into her, each movement of his pelvis sending shock waves through her.  She was almost on the verge of physical collapse. 

 

A low moan came from the mouth of his victim.  At first von Stumpel was not sure that he had heard it, but then there came another.  Finally a reaction.  The woman was groaning in anguish.  Twisting his mouth into a grim smile, von Stumpel continued his assault.

 

“Ooooh!  Ooooh!”  Unbelievably the sound was not one of pain, but of pleasure.  It was a reaction he had not expected.  Suddenly the oriental goddess tightened, her vaginal walls closing about his engorged phallus with vise-like intensity. 

 

“Mein Gott!” von Stumpel exclaimed.  The Asian bitch was sexually aroused.  He had stimulated her into an orgasm.  With renewed intensity he plunged into her.  She screamed ecstatically, arching her back, and actually rising in the chains. 

 

Von Stumpel blew his load into her.  The Asian whore’s unexpected response had triggered an orgasm.  He pulled back and fell to his knees.  The woman continued to moan and he sat on his haunches too weak to move.  He had really outdone himself this time.

 

After awhile, his strength returned.  He did not bother to dress, but walked around to the oriental girl’s head.  Lifting her chin he gazed into her dark, mysterious eyes.  They were open wide, the pupils dilated in sexual arousal.  “Oh doctor,” she murmured. 

 

“You liked that did you, my Asian strumpet?” von Stumpel crowed.  He spoke in English, a language he suspected she understood better than German.

 

Weakly, the girl nodded.  There was no hint of hatred in that beautiful face, just blind adoration, mixed with pain and exhaustion.  She was clearly beaten.  He had tamed her through torture and his sexual prowess.  But he still did not trust her.  Tamed she might be, but she still exuded danger.  She was like a cat on a leash and he had no intention of making the mistake of releasing her.  Still, he did not want her crippled.  Another hour or so of hanging from the ceiling would probably lead to permanent injury.  Now that he had tasted the delights of her body, he wanted more of her.  The next time he took her he would have her screaming in sexual delight.

 

Releasing the chains he lowered her to the floor.  Other than a gasp of pain, the girl did not respond to the change of position.  She simply lay there, her breath coming in harsh gasps. 

 

“Sorry to do this,” von Stumpel said, as he pulled her arms behind her back, “but you are far too dangerous to be allowed to run around loose.”  He clamped a pair of handcuffs onto her wrists.

 

She cried out as he forced her arms behind her back.  No doubt the stretching of her limbs had left her in terrible pain.  He almost regretted his choice of bondage.  Had he known that she would be so easy to break, he would have restrained her differently.  He had made a mistake.  He should have realized that as a non-Ayran she would not be as resistant to torture as Miss Court. 

 

Von Stumpel removed the cuffs from her wrists and ankles.  With her wrists handcuffed and in her debilitated condition she was harmless.  He would place her in a private cell in the laboratory where he would have ready access to her. 

 

Jia Li lay quietly while von Stumpel restrained her.  Her arms and legs felt as if they had been torn from their sockets.  The three hour ordeal of rape and torture had almost completely finished her.  Even walking would require a supreme effort.  Von Stumpel had reamed her like a pipe threader.  The region between her legs felt as if it had been hit by a truck.  As he secured the handcuffs she allowed a low moan to escape her lips.

 

“Now you know what it is like to be taken by a real man,” von Stumpel gloated.  “I will let you rest and then in a few hours I will take you again.”  Placing his hands under her armpits, he lifted her from the floor and helped her to her feet.  Turning her in the direction of the cell, he firmly guided her toward it.  With a moan of pain the girl started forward, her every step revealing the intense agony of her nether region.  Arriving at the cell door, he reached past her and pulled it open. 

 

“Now,” thought Jia Li.  She turned; slipping from von Stumpel’s grasp and drove her knee into his unprotected genitals.  The pain was so intense that von Stumpel could not even scream.  He doubled up, clutching his crushed gonads only to receive Jia Li’s other knee full in the face.  The impact drove him back against the bars, slamming his head against the metal with a dull clang.  And then he dropped unconscious and twitching to the floor, blood running from his shattered nose.

 

Jia Li swayed.  The sudden effort had drained her last reserve of strength.  She leaned back against the bars, and stood there for several seconds while she recovered some of her strength.  She had disposed of her captor, but there was still the matter of the handcuffs, and then the even more difficult task of escape.   

 

Finally taking a deep breath she knelt beside the lifeless form of the Nazi doctor and twisting herself around felt in his pockets for the key to the handcuffs.  She found it after a couple of minutes of fumbling, and inserting the key into the locking mechanism, freed herself. 

 

She transferred the shackles to von Stumpel.  It seemed only fitting that the so-called doctor should experience them for awhile.  She finished the job by gagging the doctor.  He had a wonderful array of bar gags handy and she found one that seemed to suit his mouth perfectly. 

 

She was free, but still trapped inside the building that housed von Stumpel’s laboratory.  And inside the building were all of her companions.  Even if she could escape it was unthinkable that she should leave them behind.  Von Stumpel had dismissed her guards, but how far had they gone?  If they were waiting just outside the door, getting out of the lab would be almost impossible.  But there was nothing for it.  She had to take the chance. 

 

Dragging von Stumpel to his knees, she spent a minute slapping him awake.  She didn’t mind the task.  It was fairly enjoyable actually.  Eventually the Nazi doctor regained his senses.  His eyes went wide with fright when he realized his predicament.  

 

“Do you understand me?” the Manchu girl asked, in her Mandarin accented English.  Von Stumpel nodded.  “Good,” she continued.  “That makes things easier.  I may not have to kill you after all.”

 

The look on von Stumpel’s face showed that he had gotten the message.  Jia Li shoved him toward the door, keeping grip on his collar.  “I can break your neck with a single blow and that is what I intend to do if you betray me.  When I ask you a question nod if the answer is yes and shake your head for no.  And answer without hesitation.  I am not a patient woman.”

 

That last remark was untrue.  Of all Larra’s companions, Jia Li was the most self composed.  Rarely did she rush into things without thinking them through and she was possessed of infinite patience when there was a need for it.  However, it would not hurt if von Stumpel thought her somewhat impetuous.  She wanted him subservient and fearful. 

 

“Is the corridor outside the door guarded?” Jia Li began.  Von Stumpel nodded. 

 

“How many guards?  One?  Two?”  Von Stumpel nodded his head at two. 

 

“Two,” she thought.  “That’s not too bad.  But I might do better with a weapon.”  She went back to the workbench and picked up a couple of short lengths of heavy chain.  She nodded.  These would do.

 

Hauling von Stumpel with her she opened the heavy metal door.  Outside just a few feet away were two armed guards, just as the cooperative doctor had said.  She was on them before they had a chance to react. 

 

The chains did deadly damage.  Whirling them about her head, she brought them down across the heads and shoulders of the two startled guards, disabling them before they even had a chance to raise their weapons.  Jia Li picked up the submachine guns the guards had been carrying and hung them around von Stumpel’s neck.  As long as the doctor was going along he might as well do something useful. 

 

“Now, you are going to take me to my friends.”  Jia Li said.  “First off where is Larra?” 

 

Von Stumpel could not answer, but he nodded his head down the corridor.  Jia Li followed him.  “Keep walking,” she said.  “And remember I am right behind you with a chain’s length.”

 

Von Stumpel caught her meaning.  Walking uncertainly in his leg irons he guided her through the building, taking her by a route where they were least likely to encounter any guards.  He had not desire to feel the weight of those chains on his own head.  Jia Li remained alert.  So far her escape was going well, but it could go wrong at any time.  She knew that only fear made von Stumpel trustworthy.  He would lead her into a trap if there was the slightest chance he thought he could get away with it; and so she proceeded with caution, working her way through the building.  With any luck she would soon find Larra.

 

 

Larra lay in her cell with her eyes closed.  She was in considerable pain from her ordeal in the interrogation room and her body was still covered with half healed welts.  In too much pain to sleep, she rested nevertheless.  She needed time to recover from what had been done to her, and rest was the best cure.  In any case, escape was not really possible.  She had already investigated her cell.  It was sealed with a heavy steel door and she had noted that the corridor outside was guarded.  She would have to wait until she was once again taken from the cell and then hope for an opportunity.

 

Crash!  “Aaaahh!”  Larra’s eyes popped open.  The loud noise and the cry of pain had come from right outside her cell.  It sounded almost as if a body had fallen.  Ignoring her pain, she rolled off the cot and waited expectantly.  She was not disappointed.

 

“Jia Li,” she breathed.  The almond-eyed girl stood outside the cell, a length of chain in each hand.  

 

Stiffly, Larra moved to the doorway.  Her violet eyes blazed as she spotted von Stumpel, but she said nothing to the Nazi scientist, instead she addressed Jia Li.  “Where are the others?” she asked.  Jia Li shook her head. 

 

“Ungag him,” Larra said nodding toward von Stumpel.  She bent beside one of the fallen guards and began to strip off his clothing. 

 

Von Stumpel was intelligent enough to say nothing as the gag was removed.  Larra spoke to him as she dressed.  “You have seen what Jia Li can do with the chains.  Picture one of them crashing through your skull.  I want your full cooperation.  Any attempt to escape or betray us and you will die.  Do you understand?”

 

Von Stumpel swallowed and nodded, his mouth suddenly very dry.  “Good,” Larra said.  “I thought you would.  Now, here is what you are going to do…

 

 

Melissa was exhausted.  Sturm had raped her twice so far, an act he referred to as “selective breeding.”  Matters were no better for Amy and Katie.  The two women slumped on the grid after being repeatedly violated.  They were resting now, while the two Aryan types that had been breeding them recovered. 

 

A sense of hopelessness pervaded her.  It was clear that that Nazis intended to use them as breeding stock in their perverted goal of creating a pure Aryan race.  How long would it be before they were all pregnant?  The thought of being used again and again like some sort of farm animal filled Melissa with revulsion.  But that is what the Nazis intended.  Schallenberger had told them exactly what the plan was.  They were to be bred until they were impregnated and then their children would be taken away from them so that they could be bred again.  They were to be no more than baby machines, serving the depraved agenda of the Third Reich. 

 

Sturm sauntered over to her.  The SS thug was aroused again.  “Time for our next round of breeding,” he sneered.  “You have no idea how pleasurable I find this task.  Are you looking forward to bearing my child?  I can assure you that it will be brought up in the finest traditions of the Reich.”

 

Melissa did not answer.  She did not even look at the Nazi as he spoke.  It was her only way of defying him.  In a few seconds he would mount her sweat soaked body once again and grunt like a pig as he shot his vile seed into her.  There was nothing she could do to stop him.

 

At that moment the phone attached to one of the walls rang.  One of the guards answered it.  “Ja, Herr Doktor!” he responded.

 

“Obersturmführer,” the guard said apologetically.  “Doktor von Stumpel has requested that the three breeding specimens be brought to his lab immediately.”

 

Sturm cursed, but von Stumpel was theoretically his superior.  He had no choice but to allow the guards to escort the three women to von Stumpel’s lab. 

 

It was with relief and trepidation that the three women were marched off.  Exhausted physically and mentally, they did not have much left and could only suppose that their current ordeal had ended to be replaced by something worse.  Melissa had already experienced the something worse that von Stumpel could hand out and had witnessed what he had done to Larra.  She expected the worst. 

 

As usual, the guards took every precaution to prevent escape.  Not only were their hands handcuffed behind their backs but they were also connected to one another by a neck chain that would make escape almost impossible.  Without any real choice the three women filed obediently from the room and through the complex to von Stumpel’s lab.

 

The lead guard knocked on the steel door of the lab.  From within von Stumpel answered.  “Leave the three specimens inside the door.  Miss Schallenberger and I will deal with them.”  The door opened.  About ten feet into the room von Stumpel waited, as the guards followed orders and ushered the three helpless females into the lab.

 

The door closed behind them.  Melissa, who was last in line, had seen no one, but assumed that Schallenberger had been behind the door and closed it.  It was with some confusion, therefore that she noticed the Nazi harridan on her knees and bound and gagged.  Amy and Katie saw her at the same time.  And then Larra and Jia Li stepped forward from where they had been hiding.

 

“Excellent Herr Doktor,” Larra said.  “I will not have to shoot you after all.  You will stay alive for a few more minutes.”

 

Relief almost overwhelming them, Katie, Amy, and Melissa all began to talk at once.  Finally quieting when they realized that Larra and Jia Li were incapable of answering the questions until they were allowed to speak. 

 

Larra, as usual, did the explaining while Jia Li went about releasing them from their chains.  “It is very simple, really,” the violet-eyed adventuress said.  “Once Jia Li released me from the cell I managed to convince the doctor to take me to the lab.  Unfortunately, his assistant was here and it was necessary to take her prisoner.  However, she may prove a useful hostage.” 

 

Schallenberger, did not seem to agree.  From the bound woman came muffled grunts of protest.  “That will not do, dear,” Larra said.  “I will require your complete silence.  She took out the SS dagger she had appropriated from one of the guards and held it to the helpless blonde’s throat, digging the point into Schallenberger’s white flesh slightly.  “Do I make myself clear?”

 

Schallenberger nodded enthusiastically, her blue eyes suddenly very wide.  “Good,” Larra said.  Then she continued speaking to her assembled companions.  “What I propose is that we take advantage of this opportunity to get ourselves cleaned up.  We have some time before the Nazis get suspicious and Jia Li and I do not think the bodies of the two guards she disposed of will be found right away.  Then we will leave this place taking the doctor and his assistant with us as hostages.”

 

None of the other women could think of a better plan.  Von Stumpel’s lab had everything they needed to wash properly, including a shower.  It even had a very compete medicine  cabinet, which they found useful in treating the various minor injuries they had suffered while captives.  Larra’s injuries were not so minor.  The three women were quite horrified when Larra stripped off her shirt to reveal the welts Featherstone had raised on her back.

 

“Bastard,” said Amy, and she applied ointment to the wounds.  “Why don’t we get him in here and show him what it’s like?” 

 

“Best not to push our luck,” Larra replied.  “It’s getting crowded in here already.  We don’t want to chance to many people coming into this room.  Much as I’d like to meet Featherstone and Sturm again we don’t dare risk it.”

 

The other women nodded in agreement.  It was best to make their escape as quickly as possible.  Revenge, if it was possible would have to wait.

 

 

They departed at midnight.  There would likely be fewer guards around at that time.  Their plan was simple.  They would make their escape from the Nazi breeding facility and hijack a plane.  Since they had arrived by air it seemed only fitting that they leave the same way.   They had learned from von Stumpel that the building was located in southern Austria, very near the Italian border.  With a little luck they should be able to reach the destination Larra had in mind. 

 

As they had hoped, they encountered very few guards in the darkened corridors of the facility.  Those few guards they did encounter they were able to quickly overwhelm, helped by the fact that they were allowed to approach to within striking distance by having von Stumpel take the lead.  The Nazi scientist proved most cooperative, probably due to the fact that Jia Li walked just a few paces behind him swinging a three foot length of chain.

 

The women were properly dressed now, having availed themselves of Schallenberger’s personal wardrobe.  The tall blonde’s clothing fit Melissa best, but the others were able to make do.  Schallenberger was outraged, especially by the fact that Jia Li, whom she regarded as subhuman, selected her favourite hiking outfit, but there wasn’t much she could do about it. 

 

Outside the building, the going was a little more difficult.  The presence of von Stumpel and Schallenberger as hostages made it almost impossible to slip unseen between the buildings.  “We need a diversion,” Larra thought.  Her eyes scanned the darkness.  In front of her was the hanger and to the right was the airstrip.  Several other outbuildings were to her left.  The entire area was dimly lit by lights attached to the sides of buildings and suspended from utility poles.  Signaling silently to the others to stay put, she tapped Jia Li on the shoulder and slipped into the darkness.  The oriental girl followed. 

 

Silent as ghosts the two women slipped from shadow to shadow.  Jia Li was the perfect choice for what they had to do.  Neither Katie nor Amy had the stomach for cutting throats and Melissa was simply too inexperienced.  Jia Li had killed with a knife before and next to Larra was the best trained martial artist.  

 

Both Larra and Jia Li had left the Schmeisser submachine guns taken from the guards with the other women; they had only their hands and the SS daggers they had picked up.  But that was all they needed.  The first two guards they came up on never even knew anyone was there until the millisecond before their throats were cut.  It was a bloody business, but neither woman had any compunction about killing men who served monsters like Sturm and von Stumpel. 

 

They worked their way toward the fuel storage tanks.  With the two guards dead the way was clear, but they kept low and to the shadows.  The area appeared to be heavily guarded and they might run into a patrol at any time.  Reaching the tanks, Larra quietly removed the hose from its holder.  The tanks were elevated so that gravity could be used rather than a fuel pump.  Depressing the release lever Larra allowed the aviation fuel to run out on the tarmac.  She waited a good five minutes and then soaking a piece of cloth in the fuel she moved back from the fuel tanks and struck a match. 

 

She lit the length of fuel-soaked cloth, but did not toss it toward the spreading fuel.  Instead, she placed it on the ground just a few away from the widening pool of flammable liquid.  Then she and her companions moved off. 

 

Their destination was the dark form of an aircraft parked on the runway, but they did not move to it immediately.  There was a chain link fence and several guards between them and the plane.  Instead they kept low and waited for the distraction.

 

It came with a sudden flash of heat and fire.  The exploding aviation fuel shot flames thirty feet into the air and roared toward the fuel tanks.  The roar of the flames drowned out the sounds of the shouting guards. 

 

“Now!” Larra said.  The other women needed no urging.  Dragging von Stumpel and Schallenberger with them they hurried through the gate onto the tarmac and toward the now unguarded aircraft. 

 

Katie now moved into the lead.  “That one,” she said, pointing to the silhouette of a Junkers 52.  It wasn’t the fastest plane on the tarmac, but it was certainly large enough to carry all of them.  Quickly they ran forward into the shadows cast by the plane.  A gangway led up to the fuselage. 

 

Larra shoved von Stumpel and Schallenberger forward.  “Get in,” she ordered.  Then she turned back to Katie.

 

“You’ll have to crank the props,” Katie said.  “Wait until I give the signal.”  She clambered up the gangway and headed for the cockpit.

 

“Keep an eye on our guests,” Larra said to Amy.  “If they try anything, kill them.”

 

Amy nodded and climbed into the plane after von Stumpel and Schallenberger.  The rest of the women went to the starboard engine.  A few seconds later, Katie poked her head out of the pilot's window.  “Give me a few minutes.  I think I can figure this thing out.” 

 

Larra nodded and looked toward the flaming fuel tanks.  Dozens of German military personnel were frantically trying to extinguish the blaze before it spread to the hanger and other buildings.  So far their escape and commandeering of the plane had gone undetected, but they would have to move fast.  The Germans would not be occupied forever.

 

Katie poked her head out of the plane again.  “OK, rotate the prop.”

 

Larra, Melissa, and Jia Li lined themselves up alongside the starboard propeller.  Larra gave it the first rotation, pushing against the lowest blade of the propeller.  Melissa picked it up next, and then Jia Li.  They stepped into the blades, turning over the engine and stepping quickly out of the way to avoid being cut to pieces if the engine fired. 

 

The engine coughed twice and then roared to life.  “Now the port engine,” Katie yelled.  They repeated the operation, moving as quickly as they could.  Larra glanced toward the blazing fuel tanks.  Already several of the Germans were heading their way.  The engine coughed, and then emulating the starboard engine, belched smoke and exploded into life.

 

Melissa ran to pull the chock from the starboard wheel, while Larra dealt with the one on the port side.  Then they ran to the gangway, jumping into the plane just behind Jia Li.  Behind them they could hear the shouting of the guards, but Katie had revved up the engines and already had the Junkers 52 moving forward.  Suddenly there was the staccato sound of shots.  Several bullet holes suddenly appeared in the fuselage.  Larra and Jia Li unslung the submachine guns they had thrown over their shoulders.  Standing in the doorway, they emptied their magazines in the general direction of the gunfire.  Whether they hit anything or not was difficult to determine, but the gunfire slackened as Katie taxied down the runway and then turned the place into the wind. 

 

Katie revved up the engines until the plane was shaking from the vibrations and then released the brakes.  The plane moved forward, and gaining speed leaped into the air and roared off into the night. 

 

Larra sat down in the copilot’s seat.  “How are we doing?” she asked.

 

“So far so good,” Katie said.  “We’ve got lots of fuel and if the Nazis scramble a few fighters to try and run us down I doubt they can find us in the darkness.  The only problem we have it that we will have to head for the nearest British base in Egypt and since we are flying a German plane there is always the danger of being intercepted by British fighters.” 

 

“We’ll just have to chance it,” Larra replied.  She settled back into her seat and studied the instrument panel and controls.  Larra was the only other pilot on the aircraft.  She would take over when Katie got tired.  She was not, however, as familiar with aircraft as Katie was.  Her blonde friend would land the plane. 

 

“Why don’t you get some sleep?” Katie suggested.  “You look as if you need it.  I’ll call you in a couple of hours and you can spell me.”

 

Larra nodded.  She took no offense at Katie’s words.  She knew she must look pretty battered.  Katie herself could not be in much better shape after having been raped for hours, but there was no point in being too noble and insisting on keeping her company.  She headed back into the main compartment of the plane.  On the way she met Jia Li.  “You should get some rest,” she said.

 

The Asian girl nodded.  “I will.  But I will keep Katie company until you have had a chance for a nap.” 

 

Larra smiled.  Jia Li was like iron.  The more she was beaten the tougher she seemed to get.  She found a corner of the compartment, curled up on a pile of assorted military gear and went to sleep.
