Prologue

Many years have passed since the end of World War II. As time passed, things changed all over the world, technologies advanced new alliances were made, quarrels were brought to an end. But for us, the battle wasn't over until every remnant of the facist reigh of Germany was silenced forever, never again to spread its influence upon the world.

Since the fall of Berlin, when the flag of Russia flew high over the ruined city the remnants of the 3rd Reigh had went into hiding. Even though we had marched into the heart of the Fatherland and claimed its heart in the name of the Motherland, we knew that somewhere they were hiding. Finding a way to step back into this war. What they do not know, as long as the Motherland has enemies, The red army will answer her call.

Shortly after the fall of Berlin a well known Russian scientist by the name of Fredrick Ivanoff had suddenly vanished. The hazard of this scientist disappearing is that he holds top secret knowledge on a specific weapons schematics for chemical warfare that would secure the victory for Mother Russia. Our mission was to extract him and bring him home to Russia's embrace once again.

The fear if Ivanoff's knowledge had fallen into the hands of the Nazi's... the outcome would be catastrophic.

Base camp , Antarctica


It is believed that Ivanoff was abducted by the Germans and brought here to do his research on the chemical weapon he was developing, as there is a Facility several clicks from our current location.

"All right, everyone gather around we have no time to waste"
A tall bold man standing 6"3 by the name of Alexis Dragovich, he was the younger male in the Dragovich family, Just like his brother General Nikita Dragovich, gave off a aura of pure evil. He was also known for his distrust amongst the Red Army.
A man of corruption, who looks for nothing but power and will do anything to achieve it.

"Petrenko, that means you too" Alexis stared down Grigori with that evil glare in his eye but as he approached it vanished and a big smile grew on his face, patted Grigori on the shoulder, and turned to the rest of the squad.

"We are here to extract Fredrick Ivanoff, a top scientist that was developing chemical weapons for use in the Red Army during the second world war. Shortly after the fall of Berlin, he had vanished."
Everyone remained silent as Alexis continued.

"It is crucial, that we extract Ivanoff as soon as possible, as we now have confirmation he was abducted by the Germans, and if he has completed the weapon schematics, not only us but all of Mother Russia is at risk, we all must proceed with caution for we know not of what waits for us beyond this blizzard."

Alexis then turns his head to Grigori and smiles.

"I believe many of you know Pvt. Petrenko, one of the youngest heros in the fall of Berlin alongside his brother Dimitri Petrenko. He fought by the bravest of soldiers, he helped push back the siege of Stalingrad, all the way to the fall of Berlin. I believe with him accompanying us, we cannot fail"

Something about Dragovich still just sent shivers down my spine, the man was evil, and how he knew of Ivanoff's location was all too suspicious. But i was not able to realize it until it was too late.

"Isn't that right Petrenko?" Alexis spoke putting a hand on Grigori's shoulder.
"Yes Sir.." Looking at all my brothers in arms.. i knew that this trip could possibly be the last for us, cause somehow i knew that it was a set up.

"TO THE TRUCKS, we depart for the facility and bring our scientist home"

On one of the trucks was one of my closest friends, Igor, we were both very young, both in our early 20's, no matter how hard i tried to cover it up, Igor could always tell something was in my head.

"Something is bothering you my friend, is it still bothering you?"

Pulling out a Cigarette and lighting it, Grigori spoke amongst his brothers on the truck.

"Exactly four years ago today my brother Dimitri Petrenko, was assigned a similar mission to this, commanded by Nikita Dragovich Alexis's older brother. They were to extract a Nazi scientist, by the name of Fredric Steiner, who had created a toxic agent codenamed NOVA-6. They were brought to the ship that housed the toxin"
Everyone leaned in as Grigori continued.
"Being the corrupt man he was, Dragovich wanted to see the effects of the gas first hand, he used Dimitris squad as test subjects... and he was gassed to death."

Everyone began chatting amongst themselves as Grigori continued, taking a puff of his cigarette.

"Do not believe what they tell you, that Dimitri died a heros death. Its a lie, that WAS the death he was supposed to have, he should have had.. in Berlin.. Instead he died for nothing.. like an Animal.. Dragovich is NOT to be trusted."

For years after the events i had sworn to avenge Dimitri's death, but Nikita had disappeared.. I knew that Alexis was no different as of what went on his head. I knew he was as Dirty and corrupt as his brother and would do the same to me, Thinking back to that day.. October 29th.. had we acted sooner would have changed the fate of the world forever.

[Gruj]

I'm starting to believe you don't know the true meaning of fear.. until you experience the end of the world first hand, and survive. It haunts you for months chasing you day and night. The cold unforgiving gauntlets of death creeping around every corner to claim the last vestiges of sanity left within your soul when you would least expect it.


October 29 , 1949
3rd Shock Army
Pvt. Grigori Petrenko
German Weapons Facility , Antarctica

The trip seemed to last forever, many of the soldiers aboard our truck decided to abandon ship and run for it.. but were shot on sight. Somehow we all knew we would not be returning to the motherland and that this would be our final mission..
Upon approaching the facility which became clear through the Antarctic blizzard Igor began readying his PPSH-41.

"Be ready for anything Igor."

Obliging with a nod. The trucks came to a silent halt and everyone started pouring out of the trucks silently and rallied to the snow drift just before the facility for debrief.

"It appears the exterior is unguarded, no signs of the swines through the windows."
Overlooking the snow drift upon the facility, seeing no opposition, then turning towards Grigori.

"I want you, to lead your brothers in arms on this one Grigori" Alexis patted Grigori on the shoulder then gave him the go ahead.

Sticking to the snow drifts to find a clear way to the facility without possibly being spotted by a German in the windows.

"This is a Weapons Facility!??" Igor spoke silently whilst scratching his head in confusion.

"There is more to then what meets the eye young Igor" Alexis responded.

The facility was a single story stone structure, partially encased in ice due to the enraging blizzard and the sub-zero temperatures, there definitely was more to it then what met the eye.

Finding a clear path to the facility the squad moved in unison, one after the other towards the exterior walls then around to the front doors which were checked to see if they needed to be blasted but were surprisingly unlocked... Almost like we were being expected...

Preparing to breach, i was on one side of the door, Igor on the other, ready to kick open the doors and infiltrate, the rookie of our squad decided to take point and boot open the door. Acknowledging his bravery, he would prove to be a strong soldier of the Red Army. The private looked at his brothers with a smile, readied his rifle, and booted the door open.

Grigori and Igor immediately responded to the action firearms at the ready, moving infront of the door behind the private, quickly scanning both the main floor and the catwalk for any hostiles. The room was clear... and covered in blood.

"What the **** happened here? Blood!!?" Igor spoke with surprise in his tone.

"Don't let your guard down Igor.." Grigori gave him the quick reminder. "Were all clear, first floor appears to be deserted.

As we all surrounded Alexis to learn of our next move, the private blindly entered the facility to get a better look at the blood on the floor. Going over the battle plan a bloody scream is heard.

"AGGGGH GET IF OFF ME GET IF OFF!!"

"Aww ****" Grigori sighed and rushed in to see the Private struggling against a bloodied man.

Without hesitation Alexis entered the room and pulled his .357 from its holster and shot the frenzied man in the head, killing him instantly and dropping to the floor with a sickening bloodied thud. He re-holstered his .357 and approached the private.

"Are you alright son?" Placing his hand on the privates shoulder.

"Yeah i think so... the crazy mother fucker bit me. The ****" a huge visible chunk of flesh was missing from the side of the privates neck, after close observation the wound appeared to be non-life threatening.

"Get him patched up and lets move, they have to know were here by now with all that ruckus"

Alexis took point, along with several other soldiers while Igor and Grigori followed further behind towards a flight of stairs that led downward. Looking back at the private, a slight nervous look grew on Igor's face.

"Why do i have a bad feeling about this..." Igor exclaimed looking at the private, then the dead bloodied man.

As they walked the main floor, passing the bloodied man, notable features were pitch black sharpened nails which extended of an estimate of 3 1/2 inches, and sharp teeth, along with pure white eyes and pale skin.

"Is that what i think it-"
"It is Igor... this ain't no normal weapons facility..."

The squads quickly descended the flights of stairs to find several more insane bloodied men, all easily disposed of but as they descended towards the bottom, more and more soldiers were falling victim to the same wound the private suffered, who joined in shortly after the attack looking sickly pale.

Descending the last spiral of stairs, Alexis notices the pale looking private.

"Are you alright son?" Alexis asked the private.

"Yeah i'm fine... must be the loss of blood from that wou-.." The private responded then suddenly started to cough uncontrollably and began to suddenly collapse against the railing.

Alexis and several other soldiers rushed to the collapsing private. "Someone get the medic"

The private stumbles slowly to his feet. "Don't worry about me i can keep going.."

"Son your in no condition, I hereby relieve you of duty of this mission. The medics will escort you back to the trucks."

We should have seen it coming... Discoloration of the skin, uncontrollable coughing and wheezing were the first signs of infection. By the time everyone realized it... it was too late..

The remaining soldiers who were bitten by the mad men were escorted to the trucks also due to them succumbing to whatever the private caught. It felt like it was the beginning of a nightmare...

We had descended into darkness, what would be our grave, for what came next.
Alexis took point and approached the giant iron doors that stood before us, and shoved them open, with the rest of us behind him guns at the ready. What stood before us was a room with many cryogenic tubes lining the rooms, within them contained human subjects.. Many of us looked on in horror as Alexis continued onward towards the middle of a room where a 2 men stood.

One man was identified as the infamous Fredrick Ivanoff, held at gunpoint by what appeared to be a Nazi scientist, dressed in bio-hazard apparel.

"Ahh Alexis Dragovich... I see you brought me the test subjects me and my friend require to continue the viral research.." The Nazi Scientist spoke in a strong tone which echoed throughout the chamber.. the rest of us stopped dead in our tracks in shock and awe. Alexis looked back at us and there was again the evil grin.

"Yes, do not worry several of them already have been infected.. It may help with your current research of those already infected but i left some uninfected to help with direct transmission. I'm sure they will serve you well.

Igor stepped forward and pointed his PPSh-41 at Alexis. "You SON of a ****, Traitor! Grigori was right about you!" Igor snapped angrily.

Alexis turned around to face us giving off a maniacal chuckle. "Oh don't worry my dear Igor. You all served your fare share, shed blood for the motherland. Why not give your lives for her to help research on the viral weapon.

"What are you talking about "Viral Weapon"... What is this.. Explain yourself!" Grigori roared angrily at the traitor.

"Its simple really, your lives will be put towards the funds of research, to create the ultimate weapon against the motherlands enemies!" Alexis stated whilst circling the squad that remained with us and stood before the iron doors, preparing to close them behind us, locking us in our tomb.

"Look on the bright side boys, one of you could be the perfect bio-weapon, to serve the motherland in all her glory, as the perfect being"

"Your sick! **** this!" Grigori snapped readying his Mosin Nagant he had holstered and aimed it at Alexis and peered through the iron sights to see the soldiers that were infected approaching the room.

"Ahh glad you can join us boys, your just in time!" Alexis exclaimed with open arms at the men walking towards their doom but suddenly froze to realize they had already turned, and began sprinting towards Alexis.

Alexis quickly ducked out of the way and the small wave of infected crashed into the squad, attacking many of them. We tried to kill off as many as possible but their numbers were too great, the toll of soldiers that were infected was greater than the ones that escaped it.

"**** it, were out of here." Grigori aimed his rifle at the Nazi scientist that was distracted with a infected being and shot him in the head.

Fredrick collapsed to the floor and tried to crawl away from the  infected approaching him.

"Come on Ivanoff!!" Igor yelled as he shot the infected who fell the floor with a thud. Approaching Ivanoff and taking his hand "We are Leaving!!"
We made our escape as quickly as possible, passing friends we could not help, as the majority of them had already been infected.

"Get Ivanoff in the back of the truck, ill drive!" Igor yelled as he began getting in the front seet of the truck. Ivanoff and Grigori climbed in the back to find the Pvt. Unchanged but still looking extremely pale.

"Whats going on down there guys?" The private asked curiously over the gunfire and screams from within the facility.

"I'll explain later Igor DRIVE!!" Grigori ordered as they drove off and he began to explain to the private what had happened.
