Underworld: Combination
By The Storyteller.



This passage of fiction is in no way connected to the film Underworld starring
Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman.

It is a complete work of my imagination and in no way coincidental to any
future storyline of any future film.

Across the Atlantic ocean, in a suburb of Los Angeles, is a warehouse. Within
the warehouse lie hundreds of boxes. Beneath the floor of the warehouse and
the streets of LA, lies a different world. A secret world where no law that
normal humankind knows is enforced. Here a different world exists, a world of
science and myth co exist in an uneasy balance. It is here that the Lycans and
the Vampires of LA have formed an alliance, although it is an uneasy one.
Their goal is to create a superior being for both Lycan and Vampire.

Deep within their complex is the main lab, guarded day and night by soldiers
of both sides. In the lab work the scientists charged with the task of making
the super breed. Heading the guards that the Vampires provide is a relatively
young woman. Martha was turned three hundred years ago, and is still regarded
as a child by the older Vampires. Her relentless dedication to the Vampire
Coven in LA has granted her the trust of her peers and that of many other
Vampires. It is this trust that has made her the best candidate for the first
test of the serum.

For many years the scientists have tried to create an enzyme to create the new
breed, but they have failed. Their research along this path has yielded many
other discoveries although many test subjects have died in the final stages of
testing. Now with the human genome finally mapped, they have taken a new line
of research. They have begun to use genetic manipulation with limited success.

Martha stood before the council representatives and received her orders for
that day. They were the same orders that she had been receiving ever since she
arrived to take charge of the soldiers at the lab complex. Guard all Vampire
research and remove any Lycan threat that is near it. She also knew that the
Lycan guards had similar orders. Today was different though, Cassandra, the
new council member whom had taken Amelia’s place was coming to see what
progress had been made on the serum.

Naturally Martha increased security, issuing the silver nitrate ammunition to
all her soldiers. Over the years Martha had begun to get an understanding of
the genetics that the scientists were using in their work, and she conversed
weekly on their progress. Today had revealed something new, they had perfected
a first stage serum and this was to shown to Cassandra upon her inspection.
Marta continued to prepare for the arrival of council member Cassandra.

Above the lab complex, and outside the seemingly innocent warehouse a
limousine pulled up along the side entrance. The small light above the door
shone brightly against the darkness of midnight. Heavily armed soldiers
ensured there was no one around before allowing Cassandra to exit the vehicle
and head into the warehouse. The chrome plated list was filled with men and
one lone female. Cassandra waited for the seemingly long ride to end at the
lab complex.

The doors opened at the entourage was greeted by a scene of carnage. The
soldiers sent ahead of Cassandra had been killed and torn to shreds. Gunfire
could be heard in the distance, alongside the screams of the Vampire soldiers.
Cassandra’s soldiers moved forward of her as they formed a protective diamond
around her. Far along the corridor, pinned down Vampire soldiers forced back a
Lycan push on their position. Martha led these soldiers, her own shots taking
down the lead Lycan soldiers.

Cassandra sent two of her elite soldiers to make contact with Martha and her
unit. They just arrived in time to assist in the repulse of another quick
assault by Lycan soldiers. Martha left them to speak with Cassandra. Using the
lift as a defendable position, Martha reported on the status of the lab
complex and why it was in the condition it was in now. Martha’s report chilled
Cassandra’s already cold body, the Lycans had perfected an enzyme that allowed
a new recruit to change at will. They had continued to work on the enzymes
whilst their own scientists had worked on the serum. They had used the enzyme
to begin an attack during Cassandra’s inspection, but they had grown impatient
and taken the enzyme and now they had the resultant siege on their hands.

Cassandra asked if the serum was perfected and in reply Martha told her the
truth. That only a first stage serum had been perfected and the second stage
was only in the initial stages of creation. Cassandra thought for a few
moments, the thick lift doors muffled the sound of gunfire from the troops
down the hall. Looking into Martha eyes, Cassandra ordered her too retrieve
the serum and return to the surface, Martha was about to open the doors when
Cassandra held her arm in a tight grip. She ordered Martha to take any means
necessary to retrieve the serum and stop the Lycans in getting their claws
upon it.

Martha left Cassandra and her soldiers to head for the surface. Hooking up
with the remainder of the protection force, Martha told them the orders and
then formulated her plan using the knowledge of the troops before her. Setting
off when everyone had concluded the plan, they slowly and methodically made
their way to the Vampire lab that held the serum. Their training took over
whenever they came across any Lycans, and these were dealt with swiftly and
mercilessly. Bodies of dead Lycans reverted back to their human forms as the
silver nitrate bullets brought pain and death to them.

The inside of the lab was a scene of destruction where the Lycans had broken
in and killed all of the scientists. They then had gone on a rampage looking
for the vault that contained the serum. The team cleared the lab of the Lycan
stragglers and Martha retrieved the serum as the team covered her. Just as
they were about to return to the lift and the surface, a horde of Lycans burst
in. Several died in initial hail of gunfire but their numbers were too great
and soon they were very close to becoming overwhelmed.

Martha held out the serum vial and the Lycan attack abated, their attention
caught, Martha knew that they wouldn’t get out of the complex without a severe
fight or with the Lycans getting their hands on the serum. The waiting Lycans
snarled and growled at Martha and her team of Vampire soldiers as they waited
for her next move. Minutes went by and Martha knew that she would have to make
a move soon or the Lycans would overpower her and the others, taking the
serum.

With a flick of her thumb, Martha opened the vial and up ended the contents
into her mouth, the sapphire blue serum drained into her mouth smoothly
leaving no trace of itself in the vial. Lycan and Vampire soldier watched
together in disbelief as Martha drank, the team knew that it was all she could
do in accordance to her orders. With the serum completely in her system,
Martha threw the vial at the Lycans in defiance against them. In return the
roared and this roar was answered by the gunfire of the closest Vampire
soldier.

Inside Martha’s system the serum mixed with her fluids expanding to saturation
point. When it arrived at her brain, it altered her chemistry to serve it’s
own purpose, increasing the production of testosterone and oestrogen in equal
measure. The excess hormones raced through her body like lightning, burning
her from the inside out making her scream in pain. All over her body, the
superb looking physique of Martha began to alter.

At first her calves spread apart inside the combat trousers that all the
protection force wore. Eventually the muscle touched the fabric but didn’t
stop at it, instead it stretched the cloth until it was tight over the skin.
Working upwards the serum swelled the size of her thighs to also fill out her
trousers. The cloth seemed to be solid to the eyes of the other soldiers as
they glanced at Martha as her change as it took place. The combat belt had
originally sat around her waist comfortably loose but now it had fallen onto
her hips as her waist size shrank considerably in size. In place of the lost
size her belly swelled slightly as her abs formed a wall of solid muscle that
would stop all manner of projectile weapon, the six pack was framed by a
ladder work of oblique muscles that would protect her sides just as the front
would. The Lycans and the Vampires looked on as Martha became the next step in
Vampire evolution.

The sleeves at Martha’s forearms stretched and then burst as the softball
sized muscles forced their way onto her arms, from the wrist to half way up
her arm the sleeve formed a cloth gauntlet which was tight against the flesh.
Her upper arms followed suit, slowly ripping up the length of her arm from the
elbow. Solid bars of biceps could be seen in amongst the flapping shreds of
the tunic sleeves. The shoulder deltoids removed the sleeve remnants from the
thick fabric blouse leaving Martha with just the cloth gauntlets.

From the immensely dense obliques upward, Martha’s back widened stretching the
combat blouse until it could hold no more. At that point of the
transformation, the tunic split down the middle exposing her flushed skin to
the cool air. In the metal door of the vault, the soldiers could see the
abundance of muscle that ran parallel to her spine. The increasing size
continued until the tunic was like her trousers, tight on her skin. At this
point the burning pain inside her body had left her and Martha felt the
increasing power of her body and limbs. To her it was euphoric, to the others
in the room it incredible. A Lycan tried to jump Martha and kill her before
she completed the change but it was cut down by a soldier and his MP5K.

Martha laughed as she watched the others reactions, she then laughed some more
as her small sized breasts lifted against the front of her shirt. Beneath her
breasts, the pectoral muscles lifted and grew outwards pressing against the
shirt that had one been tailored to her body. In a scream of protest, the
zipper of her combat jacket ripped apart as her bosom made a sudden size
increase, the oestrogen hormone kept her womanhood in line with the increase
of her muscles. Some of the soldiers smiled as they saw this, for Martha was a
very attractive young woman. The t-shirt beneath the jacket also ripped to
form a V-neck allowing the world to see the striations of her pecs and the
smooth skin of her cleavage.

Martha instinctively knew that her change had come to an end and she took a
deep breath ripping her jacket and t-shirt a little more. As Martha admired
her new physique, the Lycans decided to attack with renewed vigour, in their
simple minds Martha must be killed. The sudden rapport of gunfire broke Martha
from her reverie and she saw that the remaining soldiers were about to be
overrun by the Lycan assault. She drew her sidearm and check the clip, sliding
the clip home seemed all to familiar to Martha and she remoistened her weapon.

A Lycan broke through the ranks of her team and made a bead straight for
Martha, who stood as if she was unprepared. The snarling Lycan thought this
would be an easy kill and pounced on Martha. With a new speed Martha dodged
the Lycan and at the same time sent it flying into the wall head first.
Keeping the momentum up, Martha proceeded to take the initiative and took the
fight to the Lycans. Her soldiers followed her out of the lab killing the
crippled Lycans that Martha left in her wake. The team lost no other members
after that point as each Lycan they met with was swiftly dealt with by the new
and improved Martha.

Upon the surface, Cassandra waited by the limousine with her well equipped
bodyguards. The door swung open and the first of the team members exited the
warehouse, followed by the others. Cassandra was about to ask where Martha was
when she stepped through the doorway. Her hulking size told Cassandra
everything she needed to know, and the blood on her hands told her that normal
weapons were not need with the new and improved Vampire soldiers. Martha then
did something quite extraordinary, she began to shrink back to her original
size, the sudden change in her size shocked everyone there, Martha believed
that she would have remained this way forever.

Cassandra comforted Martha with the knowledge that the Vampire scientists had
succeeded in creating a weapon that would eventually destroy the Lycans.
