Chapters "Hey Mykal come check this out!,"Nicholas exclaims as he stares completely absorbed into the news;as his friend joins Nicholas in awe.News broadcast:"Today the German government has revealed a an inter-dimensional gateway,".Nicholas can only imagine the possibilities this could unlock, could you come back? Is there any way to control or identify which dimension you were entering? He continues to watch but, to his dismay none of these questions were answered.
Five years have past and Nicholas joined the air force and left his friend behind`but during his last mission over Ukraine his bomber was shot down by AA missiles .During his MIA period north Korea had launched it's nuclear plans that ravaged the the world as it became a free for all.It took him but only 5 1/2 weeks to get back to America.When he arrived in his home town he found it in shatters as if the war had taken place in his own back yard. Even though it seemed pointless he made the long treacherous trek to his friends old home.
KNOCK KNOCK ... KNOCK BANG BANG BANG!!! Mykal opens the door with his 12 gauge and demands that Nicholas puts hands above his head. Nicholas quickly grabs the shotgun and exclaims "Mykal its me Nick".Mykal eyes wide with amazement and brings sailor inside and locks the door. "I thought your plane was destroyed?" Mykal said unsure of himself."It was..." Nicholas replied."Well what now?"asked Mykal."I'm not sure"Nicholas replied.Then as if they were the same being in complete and utter unison "The German portal"
They made haste in packing the diesel Nicholas had found on the way over here."O.K. Mykal inventory 1 12 gauge Remington with 47 shots,a silenced m9 with 2 15 round clips,and this arctic warfare rifle I piked off some dead guy with a back pack full of ammo," Nicholas said with a smirk "Hit it!"Mykal said trying to be as cliche as possible.The pair soon came to a gas station "You know mykal everyone takes the regular gas first but there's"mykal cuts sailor off "ya ya there diesel left you've saying that since we were kids.While sailor fuels up the truck mykal goes inside and scavenges for some food and a few Twinkies.On their way out the were stopped by a man with torn military fatigues armed with a smg from looks of it.He tells them to get of the truck...Nicholas waits until he comes close to the door then puts his foot on the side of the door and slams it into the guy and floors it."And that Mykal is how you handle car jacker," said Nicholas smugly.
"So whats the plan when we get to coast?"asks Mykal "I think there's an air port in South Carolina the military has taken control of." Sailor quickly replied. Mykal sat in thought of what was going on. Their family's' were all dead and here they are just throwing them selves out here to try to get to something that might not work or even be there for that matter.He decides these thoughts would just madden him so he puts a cd into the radio and they listen to a mix of classic and hard rock from they were in high school."Hey nick"Mykal said half asleep "ya"Nicholas replied "Don't you miss the good ole days were we could just sit your truck and listen to music and relax?"mykal asked "Dude we're only 26...the good ole days,"sailor laughed "Yes i do miss the relative normality of back then"Nicholas replied
Nicholas and Mykal are about 10 miles away from the airport when Mykal stops the truck and wakes Nicholas "Hey Nick YO NICK!,"said Mykal "OK Mykal can you just call me Sailor just because the air force made me use my first name doesn't mean you have to ram it down my throat,"Sailor said groggily."aight Nicholas,"Mykal said jokingly.Sailor then drives them about a mile and a half away then proceeds to scope the place with his rifle.To their dismay the place has a few stragglers trying to figure out how to put gas in an old c47."well that's weird"said Sailor "I thought they stopped using those in the 50's" "That's what you get for thinking"Mykal retorted.
"There it is Mykal,Said sailor as his friend pulled on the side of the road."We should travel heavy right? I mean we have no idea if the place we're going will have food water right?"Mykal said "I don't a better idea"replied sailor".Sailor then Screws on the silencer on his m9, puts his rifle on his back.grabs a rucksack and his back pack.Sailor thinks to himself "This is it we're gonna make it or break here."He then thinks back to his debriefing when he first it the science geeks said that there is no way to trace where you would get sent or a way to bring back.This is a good thing right he thought to himself."OK stop staring off into space Sailor it's time roll."Mykal said with a little strain.
The door creaked as Sailor opened it into the unlit room.It surprisingly wasn't looted, untouched."I see some lights on down here," Mykal Whispered. Sailor put down the rucksack and his pack and drew his m9 clicking the safety off. Mykal had his shotgun out waiting for Sailor to breach the room.Sailor pulled out his M9 screwed the suppressor on and clicked the safety off.
Sailor bursts through the door only to see four men in black lab coats.One of the men approached them and said "What do you want?"In crappy English.Sailor then told them their story and how they had hoped to use their portal to escape."I'm sorry but you wasted Americans."
A little girl named Samantha then entered the room "daddy I'm very thirsty" she squeaked. Mykal then rushed beside her and threw her to me."Now you will turn this portal on and allow me and friend to leave"Sailor demanded with false confidence.
The man who approached them earlier order the others to work."We have a tuck 2 block from here full of water food ammo exc, for you all." Sailor announced as he handed the girl a bottle of water.
The man then sent twp people to investigate the truck and tried to talk us out of leaving but, to no prevail. Sailor then picked up his things and dragged Mykal's across the cement floor to him."Thank you all and good luck"said Sailor as his friend followed right behind him.
The police ruin everything
"Holy S" Said sailor gasping for air;"mykal are you OK"? Mykal Replied "ya ya now where are we?". "Candy land."Sailor said. Mykal scoffed "No seriously this is weird it looks like earth just more ..." "Vibrant" Sailor Chimed in "ya vibrant" ended mykal. The two then picked up their ruck sacks and walked what sailor guessed was west. "We need to find a good spot to set up camp" said sailor. "Fine," replied mykal. "but, I'm going to some testes on the water and air better safe than sorry". "blah blah"sailor said as took deep breathes of air "i haven't died yet".
They then come to what seems to be a dirt path that was man made.It had hoof prints and wagon wheels. "Well either we landed in an Amish community or this the 1800's of the world ." "Is time travel even possible with the portal?"asked Mykal."I don't freaking know" sailor replied.The pair then started down the path for about 10 miles before Mykal started complaining. "Dude!!! it's about to be dark,I'm tired, and we have no idea what happens here at dark."You see that hill up there? If we don't see anything up there well start a camp" Says "CAPTAIN SAILOR".
When they reach the top of the hill Mykal taunts "where's your town sailor?". "Shut up" Sailor said sorely. Mykal lit a flare and said "I'll work on the tent you get the wood." Sailor begrudgingly went for wood as mykal struggled with the tent.Sailor began to think about the situation."we made it holy shit we made it ahhhhh who's living in a van down by the river now dad?Mykal may have been my friend for 20 years but things like this can change a person I must weary of his changing mood." "SAILOR I'm finished you done yet"? Mykal screamed bringing sailor out of his zombie like work. Sailor then joined Mykal Beside the tent and started the fire as his friend unpacked tonight's rations."you know sailor have you ever thought that maybe it would have been fine if we would have stayed at home"? Mykal asked "F no Russia was about to launch it's nuclear campaign we got out while we could." Sailor said bitterly "I'm lucky I made it to you before they blew the last of America straight to hell."
From the air a group of Pegasuses saw them and prepared to detain them on official orders from the princess Luna.As they make their decent Sailor spills the entire pot of water. "DUDE! come one now we don't......" Mykal said as he became aware of the impending danger. The Pegasuses hit sailor from behind leaving him pinned to the ground. Mykal then bolted for the tent but, fell over the pot Sailor had dropped on the ground.They both struggled but to no prevail. They were then both tied to poles in a closed carriage withe double bar doors. Sailor could hear them talking "They don't seem violent" He couldn't believe it they Spoke English!!! "What are you doing with us???!!!" Sailor hollered. The Pegasuses whispered among themselves. One of them then dictated That neither of us or them where to speak until we reached the palace.
Mykal attempted to get Sailor's attention by nudging him but, Sailor fearing for his life decided it would be best for now to remain silent until told otherwise and shook his head at Mykal with disgust in his eyes. Sailor could't believe that the carriage was flying so smoothly without wings; were they going that fast? where they about to be prisoners? Sailor could only hope that this princess was kind as the one in the fairy tales.
"I think I can get a shot on 2 of them then if we move i could pick off the rest when they're confused and scared."Sailor suggested."Yes or we could wait until night and take it ," said Mykal "ya steal a plane in the middle of the night no one's gonna hear then engines..." retorted sailor."well i have some tear gas we could let it loose in and around the control tower were there probably sleeping'' said Mykal."That might work,'' replied Sailor thoughtfully.
They waited until it was pitch black and commenced their plan."OK Mykal the plane is fueled lets roll em in,"said Sailor.
With a nod from Mykal they both threw the tear gas in the control tower.Sailor got the plane started in no time and began taxing away.In the distance they could hear gunshots."Well Mykal we did and it'll be smooth sailing or well fling to Kassel."Sailor said excitedly."yea..."replied Mykal with doubt in his voice.
"Mykal about 20 min Till we see the shore!" Sailor shouted "OK" SCREEEEEEEEEEEEE "HOLY SHIT MYKAL WE GOT FIGHTER ON US!!!" screamed sailor "WELL DO SOMETHING" Mykal shouted back.Sailor got on the radio "This the green c-47 we are not hostile repeat we are not hostile" There was no answer and no sign of the fighter either."what do think that was about?" asked Mykal "I don't know maybe he was running like us."Sailor replied still shaking.
They arrive at Kassel Right at noon.Sailor gets out of the plane he looks around as the intense heat from the sun bakes him."Let's unload the truck dude," says Mykal. Sailor lets down the gate as mykal drives it out in a painstakingly slow manner. Sailor gets in the truck and shows Mykal were to go on the map."So do you think they'll just be hey you need to use here ya go or is this run in gun to their head let us go or ya die thing?"asked Mykal."I actually think there'll be no one there,""Why do you say that?""Well the evacuated everyone to Berlin and frankfurter."Replied sailor.
