Brandi 5 - Army By Neptune Brandi is recruited by her country The foreman had found the carnage at the construction site the next morning and immediately called the police. The police were shocked to see the picture that had been described to them across the FBI wire. They immediately contacted the FBI and the Feds leapt into action. With the combined efforts of the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and US military, the most sophisticated computers in the world were focused on databases to find the common link. Before the police began the standard interview process with the site employees, the FBI already had their main suspect. Brandi returned to work the next morning secure in the knowledge that there were once again no witnesses to the crime. She planned to follow her standard pattern of staying on a while to deflect suspicion and then move on before she could repeat the crime in the same place. As she reported to the foreman, she put on her best shocked expression and followed his direction to report to the dark police truck parked away from the other police cars for an interview. She smiled to herself as she made her way over to the van, knowing that the police she had talked to in the past were usually more interested in checking her out than conducting fact-finding interviews. She opened one more button on her blouse to reveal more of her amazing pectoral development and rolled up her sleeves one more turn to further expose her massive biceps. The more attention they paid to her body would benefit her in their lack of attention to the case, she figured. As she got to the rear of the truck, the door opened before she could knock. She was invited in by the motion of a hand rather than a voice. She could see six officers in the van, two in the front seats and four arrayed in the back. They all looked completely disinterested in the proceedings, giving her additional confidence in her ability to escape punishment once again. She stepped up in to the van, turning sideways to slide her huge shoulders between the two men seated along the bench next to the rear door. The man in the front passenger seat motioned her forward with a smile. As soon as Brandi stepped forward, everything changed. The door to the truck slammed behind her, and the faces of every man in the truck immediately turned deadly serious. Even more serious were the large firearms that appeared from nowhere in the hands of the four men surrounding her. Each man held his weapon aimed at her in the calm manner of one who was deadly proficient with a gun. Have a seat, the man in the front said, and the truck started moving. Brandi didn't doubt that she was more invulnerable to trauma than most, due to the sheer size and thickness of the massive muscles that encompassed her frame. However, she didn't trust her body against the slugs that could emerge from the fearsome looking weapons that the men were continuing to hold on her. With no other options available to her, she sat down on the bench between two of the men and across from the other two. Everyone sat quietly for the remainder of the trip, and Brandi was disappointed to see that she was unable to make any of the men lower his guard even for an instant no matter how she flexed or tensed her body. She figured that these men must be highly trained indeed, and started to feel a little fear creeping in to her head about what was going to happen to her. The truck drove on for a time that seemed like hours, but was probably shorter. After the truck stopped, she was led out of the truck on to what appeared to be a military base and found another four men with guns trained on her. The truck drove off without further discussion, and Brandi was led inside through a large door by her new escort team. Down a few long corridors they went, with the four men behind her giving her directions and following with their weapons trained on her constantly. When she reached a large steel door at the end of one long corridor the men instructed her to place her thumb on a plate next to the door. A light came on at her touch and after a few seconds, the door slid downward into the floor to open. The men motioned her through but did not follow. As she entered the room, she marveled at the thickness of the walls and the door evident in the doorway through which she strode. The door closed back up behind her with a whoosh and then a loud clanking sound she took to be some sort of lock. She immediately turned back to the door hoping it would automatically open, but to no avail. Then she started half-heartedly pushing on the door, but it was especially stiff to her touch. Even as she powered up her muscles against the door and pulled against the sides with all her might, she was only able to make slight indentations in the door. The wall next to the door was similarly rigid, and a few half-effort punches into the surface did nothing but hurt her knuckles. She shrugged her shoulders and turned back to the room. She was shocked to see an apartment-sized area with some of her furniture arrayed around it. An inspection of the closet revealed that some of her clothes had been moved here also. She appeared to have her own little apartment with a combination bedroom / dining area, and a separate large bathroom. There was one other door on the opposite side from the "front" door, but it too was imposing and seemed impossible to break. Brandi slumped down on her couch and turned on her TV, happy to see that she now had all of the cable channels. ** The men in the control room were pleased that she appeared calm. The men were still not sure what she was at this point, and were not sure what to do if she went hysterical. They were given full authority to act on behalf of the security of the USA up to and including termination, but that would be such a waste of the opportunity that she presented. They watched her efforts against the front door and marveled at her obvious strength as her incredible muscles bent the sides of the reinforced steel door. As she sat on her couch and watched TV, they sent the subliminal programming to suggest that she go to sleep. They combined this suggestion with the introduction of a sedative gas into the chamber, to further assure success. After a time longer than they had expected, Brandi's head slumped forward and she appeared to enter a calm slumber. The doctors prepared their instruments and entered the room through the other door, with a heavy armed guard escorting them. They laid Brandi on the floor and went about their business, hurrying as much as possible in case she happened to awake earlier than expected. ** Brandi awoke later to find herself on the couch, with the TV still on. She could tell by the programming that it was morning, meaning that she had been here through the night. On the table was a high-protein meal similar to the one she would usually have at home. It seems that the people here knew a lot about her, maybe too much. The really scary part was that a small vial of her strength serum was also on the table, along with a syringe with which to inject it. Although the dosage in the vial wasn't correct for a day, it was close enough to make her worry how much they knew and what they were doing with the rest of it. Nevertheless, she sat down and ate the meal hoping that it wasn't drugged or anything. As she ate, a point of soreness and a small scar on her arm let her know that she had enjoyed company last night. When she was done with her meal, she returned to the couch and sat in front of the TV for a while. Figuring that her super-strong homicidal state was her only chance for escape, she went about trying to bring it on herself. She had never done that before, and she wasn't sure what to do. She tried to make herself angry about her situation, being kidnapped and held against her will and all, but was unsuccessful. Then she stood up and started driving her fist into the wall, hoping the pain would bring on the rage. After a few punches, the other door opened. Brandi made her way through the door and walked into a huge indoor hangar. The hangar was a vast but well-lit empty space, with nothing in it that she could use as a tool or weapon. She experimentally kicked the steel floor a couple of times and found it to have the same deep sound as her apartment, suggesting thickness. She walked over to a wall and checked it out, but got the same hopeless result. She stood at the wall for a while and then spied a control room up above where people in lab coats were looking down at her. She smiled at them, remembering what she had done to the last group of men she had seen in lab coats. A voice boomed from above, You are under arrest. You have been deemed too dangerous by the United States of America to be allowed the freedom to stand trial. You are hereby found guilty of murder in the first degree, and are sentenced to death. However, you possess certain unique attributes that are of value to your country. Unless you accept terms for compromise by serving your country, the sentence will be carried out immediately. You have thirty seconds to decide. If you agree, hold up your right hand. Brandi was stunned. She had been caught. She was in real trouble. It seemed the only way to keep herself alive was to play along until she could find some way to escape. She raised her mighty right arm, for the first time in defeat. She looked up at the men defiantly and hoped that they would come down and talk to her personally so she could demonstrate her "unique attributes" all over their scrawny asses. Instead, she was answered with the opening of a door in the far end of the hangar. In rolled a huge army tank through the opening, which quickly closed behind it. Brandi studied the huge vehicle intently, wondering what it meant. She unconsciously backed up a few paces at the sight of the huge monster, hoping that it wasn't dangerous. Brandi was answered when the tank fired a shell at her across the room. She was far away enough to duck from the round, which impacted against the huge wall behind her. From the impact Brandi immediately could tell three things. First, the explosives had been removed from the shell due to the lack of a blast. Second, the shell was very hard and moved very fast due to the dent it made in the reinforced wall behind her. Third, those shells would likely kill her if they impacted her in any way. The tank rumbled forward menacingly, closing the gap between them. As it fired another round toward her, Brandi decided that she was in extreme danger. She moved out of the way of this shell as well, but it was considerably more accurate and impacted the wall much closer to her. Brandi frantically searched for an escape route, but none were obvious in the room. The tank lumbered closer and repeated firing shots in her direction. Brandi was cornered like a scared animal and was running out of options. Then the inevitable happened. The tank fired off one very accurate shot that Brandi was barely able to evade. The shell impacted the wall right behind her head. Unfortunately for Brandi, it caromed off the wall and squarely into her back knocking her off of her feet. The shell was blunted and slowed due to the impact with the wall, but it retained sufficient momentum to incapacitate her. The tank used the opportunity to roll forward until it was right in front of Brandi and level it's huge barrel at her. Brandi looked up from her fallen position to see the barrel pointing right at her with what surely was the killing shot. ** The controllers above were growing worried. They could not understand why the girl was running rather than fighting. From their calculations of the damage she had caused at the construction site, they figured that she could destroy the remote-controlled tank. The point of the exercise was not to kill her but to test her powers. If she was unable to complete this task, then her usefulness was limited to them anyway. They started to worry that they had the wrong subject and someone else was using the serum they had found in her apartment. Just as they were about to conclude the teat, they saw it. And they were amazed. ** Brandi faced her certain death and felt the rage wash over her. She felt her muscles expanding and cherished the feeling of her power growing. The feeling was heightened this time because the power seemed to be flooding forth more quickly than it ever had before due to her life- threatening predicament. Within seconds, her body had reached its fully super-powered state and she looked up at the tank. She smiled and jumped quickly out of range of the barrel up onto the tank's structure. She reached down to the barrel of the main gun with her left hand and began to pull upwards. Brandi's hand crushed the portion of the barrel she was holding and gave her an excellent grip. Then she looked down at her left bicep as she began to curl the metal upwards. The metal barrel shrieked as it was slowly bent upwards to ninety degrees by the strength of Brandi's one arm. After she had bent it straight up, she continued to push the barrel over on itself with the same arm. Brandi squatted down and ran her hands into the joint between the turret and the base of the tank. She slowly started to rise up using only her legs. The huge metal turret began to rise slowly until it reached the limit of the buffer space in the channel hinge joint. The upward progress stopped as the specially reinforced metal resisted Brandi's spectacular leg muscles. Brandi pouted and redoubled her efforts. Suddenly, the metal gave way in the joint and the turret flew upward. Because Brandi was at full flex when the metal gave way, she ended up accidentally peeling the whole turret off the tank in one motion. The turret flipped over once and fell onto the ground alongside the tank. With the bloodlust flowing within her, Brandi looked inside the tank for her prey. To her disappointment, the tank was empty. She figured that the men in the control room above must have been controlling it by remote. With her bloodlust unsatisfied, her rage grew further. She leapt down from the tank searching for a way to kill those men in the control room above her that had her caged like an animal here. She searched around for a weapon to use, but the only object in the huge hangar was the tank. With an animal scream, she worked her way under the tank. She lifted the front and began to walk her hands along the bottom until she got to the balance point. Feeling the rage flowing within her, she then hefted the entire weight of the huge armored vehicle into the air. As she stood under the tank with both of its treads off the ground, she was filled with energy at the thought of the strength she was exerting. She wondered if this gave her the opportunity to make the kill she craved. ** The scientists and agents all crowded over to the window to see what was going on. There had never been any evidence from her past of her possessing this much strength. They all watched in rapt amazement as she maintained the tank aloft in her massive arms and began to walk with it. If anything, she appeared to be getting stronger, as the tank began to move up and down slowly as she pressed it up and down. The sight was simply incredible, and everyone in the control room had to see it live. They were all speaking amongst themselves excitedly as they planned for ways to use the woman for their own agendas. ** Brandi felt her rage and strength peaking as she continued to press the tank up and down. Amazingly, she was feeling stronger with each repetition instead of more tired. When she felt her power reach its peak, she lowered the tank one more time. Then she bent her legs so she was squatting with the tank barely above her head. With a scream and a super-human flexing of her incredible muscles, she launched the tank upwards at the men who had captured her. The tank flew upwards like a shot and impacted the glass in the control room. Although the glass was bullet proof, it was not designed to withstand an object with the momentum of a tank. The armored vehicle smashed through the glass and into the control room. All of the people arrayed around the glass watching Brandi's display were killed immediately, either by the tank's mass or the glass turned into missiles as it shattered. Brandi used her super-charged leg muscles to leap up into the control room. As she surveyed the scene, she could see the mass carnage that her act had caused. She could hear no groans nor see any signs of movement from anyone in the room. Satisfied that she had killed everyone around, she made her way to the back of the control room. Passing through the door, she found herself in another corridor. She ran along it, following the helpful exit signs posted every fifty yards. Unfortunately, Brandi's luck ran out when she reached what appeared to be an airlock. The large metal door had a keypad next to it and looked as though it might be a way out. As she was studying the door looking for a place to get a handhold, another door slammed shut behind her. Before she could react, the space where she was filled with some sort of gas. Brandi flew at the airlock in a rage and started to bend the steel with her super-human strength, but it was too late. Brandi succumbed to the gas and fell against the door, wondering if this was the end.
