"Snacks? Check.
Gear? Check.
Car? Check.
Tools? Check.
All other Equipment? Check.
Cat? Check.
Looks like I've got everything I need. Let's go.", our main protagonist said to his cat, who sat in her spezial seat beside him.
Hearing the loud roar of his cars engine come to life, our hero gave pedal to the metal and drove to his friend.
His friend needed assistance with a project with included something about military, and who's better in helping him than a special forces soldier? Maybe a military historian actually. But that's besides the point.
Turning on the radio and the temperature, due to already wearing his gear, because his friend isn't that far away from him, and they immidialy wanting to get started, our friend enjoyed the moment in his green BMW.

The road was old and bumpy, but the view made more than up for it. The beautiful bulgarien forest and mountain range was a view that could make someone speechless. Making you unable to concentrate on anything else. Like a strange glowing hole in the ground that just appeared out of thin air a few meters away. That could swallow a tank whole. Or a car.
For example his car.
Turning his attention away from the gorgeous scenery and back to the road, our characters reflexes kicked in and he smashed the breaks, but it was to late and the portal that came from nowhere too near, so near infact that not even the best human in his world would be able to stop the car in time. So he drove through the portal to Kratos knows where.
Correction. Creepy forest. Even better.
**************************************
"What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK!!", Dimitri screamed, scarring his little cat in the process.
"Where the gay Jesus am I?", the panicked protagonist said to himself.
Looking over to his cat he made sure that the cat was secure in his car, and afterwards exited his luxurious vehicle.
Quickly and quietly going around his car, the hero opened the car's trunk, grabbing his weapons to insure his safety, making him more able to protect himself. His sidearm already in it's holster.

Not wasting any time he strapped the Ak 47 to his back, the other weapon tight in his grip, moving back to the side of his vehicle, but not before closing and locking the trunk of course, and took a good look around him before going inside his car and locking all doors, wordlessly taking his phone and trying to contect local authorities.
Which would have worked, if there was a signal. But there wasn't a signal. Well fuck.
Doing the next best thing in mind our hero tried to shoot some flares in the air, but the flares where in the trunk of his car.
Normally not a problem, but when there are hundreds of strange glowing eyes moving throughout the thicket, it wouldn't be wise to step outside your car.
Rolling the window a centimeter down, the soldier called.
"Is this a fucking prank?", only to receive his answer when a giant lion-eagle, damning manticore man thing together with it's bastard brothers and sisters came out of the thicket, and to him to presumably say hy, or bite his face of. (Choose one of the two)
So with the grace of an elephant the super brave Dimitri, completely fearless, because it's of course normal to see giant manticores who are mythical creatures that are as tall as cars coming to eat you, stepped on the gas pedal and drove the tiny, Disney film like little road to get away from those things.
Getting away from those things wasn't easy.
The road was bumpy and not perfectly suited for his car, but he would manage.
The real problem was that he couldn't see any thing. It was so dark and foggy that his cars headlights just bearly managed to light his path, which forced Dimitri to drive slower than he liked to. Mixed with the fact that those creatures knew the layout of the area better than him meant that they and other things randomly popped out of nowhere making him drive even more careful.
Eventually he came into a forest clearing, those things having stopped chasing him for a while now.
Parking his car and lowering the other three windows down a centimeter so his cat can breath fresh air, and not go out of the car and do some random bullshit, the soldier took a deep breath and tried to relax and come down from this strange experience.
Having quickly calmed down from this absurd strangeness, he was thinking what he should do now in this situation, his thinking was cut short though by a big female scream, coming from his right side somewhere from the woods.
Moving his car to face to the right he could see, with the help of the flashlights, one of those Manticore things, attacking, what was probably a woman, in old ragged clothes and a cloak, making him unable to see her clearly.
What he could see though wasn't fantastic.
The woman was on the ground clearly exhausted. She had a big wound on her left leg, and she had no weapon to defend herself with. The giant Manticore looming over her, ready to feast on his meal.
So Dimitri knew he needed to act fast and act now, otherwise the person might die, like that one time, he won't let anyone die ever again.
With a speed that would make sonic jealous (actually not, sonic is still much faster, but still) our hero left his car, closing the door, took his Ak 47, aimed through the tip mounted sight and shot the beast in the head.
Catapulting itself to our hero, the Manticore Alpha wanted to impale the nuisance on it's claws and rip his throat out with it's teeth, but instead got one of it's eyes shot out.
The mighty Alpha gave out a roar of pain and looked to see who inflicted the wound on it, eventually finding our hero, with his rifle aimed on the creatures head.
The creature all but forgot the cowering woman and began charging at our protagonist who put ten rounds into it's chest before it reached him.
Turning it self around the Alpha strikes its foe with its paw and send it flying to a long dead tree, hearing a sickening crack, the old beast thought it broke the creatures back, like it did with so many pony which it loved to do, adoring their screams, and dumbly launched itself like the first time onto it's enemy, only to be met with a tree.
Our protagonist, trying to avoid the attack, slid under the beast through it's new blindside was now under the giant Manticore, his rifle pointed directly at it's woundable belly.
Not giving a shit our main character took his rifle and with his bayonet attachment slid the monster belly open, showing with his foot the wound open while simultaneously shooting inside the beast, making guts spew out and painting him red.
The Alpha was puking blood everywhere, making the whole area red. Without any pitty our hero put his gun away and pulled his large combat knife.
Jumped on the beasts back and cut the stinger of, so he wouldn't need to completly bloody his knife, making the beast roar out in pain yet again, so loud that the whole forest and nearby settlements could hear it, and topple over and fall on it's sliced open belly.
Climbing over the monster's body our hero sat on the beasts neck, holding with one hand it's head and with the other it's stinger and stabbed into it's eye, pushing deeper and deeper into it's head reaching deeper and deeper, till it gave a final meow full of agony and slumped over, finally dead.
Making sure that the creatures dead our hero put a few round into it's head with his rifle, before standing up and putting his rifle away, falling onto the ground after his adrenaline wore of and he realized what he had done, and afterwards walking over to the woman.
Zecora couldn't believe it, she thought she would die. She saw her whole life Flash before her. But from nowhere this.. red angel came and...and brutally slaughtered the Manticore Alpha if it where nothing. She was so lost in her shock that she didn't notice him coming closer.
"Hello mam? Are you alright. ≈no of course not, she's got a fucking flesh wound on her leg≈ we need tou......" that was the moment when he noticed her face.
"The what?...."
