Kenneth watched as he see other P-40F Warhawk's start their engines and take off one by one to the setting sun as he walked toward his P-40F nicknamed "Bull Shark" and admired the Sharks Teeth painted on the front of the plane before climbing onto the wing and into the cockpit. Quickly flipping switches and hitting the starter as engine roars to life and prop starts turning very quickly, As everything was good, he strapped himself into the cockpit and leaving canopy open as he taxi out to the runway. Soon moving straight down the runway as he punched full throttle in and started getting faster and faster as he gained enough speed, soon pulled stick back slightly and smoothly taking off with a positive rate of climb, he raised the landing gears, gaining lots of altitude, climbing up to 8'000ft and heading on his Patrol path.
Soon at middle point in the patrol path, Kenneth spots a what seems to be a unmarked Japanese Merchant ship without any escort.
"This is Bull Shark I have encountered a Japanese ship, going to engage."
Kenneth says into his mask before diving onto the Unmarked Japanese Ship as his plane strikes the deck with 50.Cal bullets, killing crew before they can man AA Guns. Finished with the run and turns back around for another run as the 50. Cal's strike the explosive cargo and suddenly front of the ship explodes in a massive fireball as the decks was suddenly covered in fire and burning sailors jump overboard then suddenly back of the ship explodes too as it seemed like the ship is now dead in the water. Flames spread from the internal cargo holds that exploded open and soon enough entire ship was just covered in flames as Kenneth circled his plane around the burning ship pulling off of the circle around the burning ship and heading back to the home islands a Zero dives onto Kenneth plane, Zero shooting and nearly hitting his plane wings.
"Oh shit! Zero's!"
Pulling his plane to chase the Zero in front of himself, pressing button on his stick as his Six 50. Cal's take out the Zero as the engine of that plane catches fire and it falls towards the sea. Another Zero sticking behind his plane as he trying to get it off his tail, as Zero fire and tracers fly by his plane as he try his best to get the zero off of him. Kenneth twists and turns but nothing can get this Zero off of him, then he trys to climb high above the broken clouds, breaking through a cloud as Zero broke through the cloud as well, leaving the zero off behind the left wing as it pulled to the right, Zero guns blazing as loud shear of metal and Kenneth left plane wing suddenly catching fire.
"Oh shit! Fucking Jap bastard! I will take you down with me!"
Kenneth suddenly going into a dive as he burst through a another cloud and see the ground quickly approaching, he pulled out of the dive as the Zero overshoot then Kenneth pressed down on the button as his Six 50. Cal's fired and lit the Zero up as it suddenly exploded into a fireball and flew right into the ground. Realizing he might not get out of this situation and need to make a Emergency landing, clicking the button for the landing gears as they go down, he tried to keep his plane up as long as he can and see a good enough clearing to have a somewhat safe landing. Heading too quickly as his plane went into the clearance as his plane touched the ground suddenly the landing gears break off as plane collapses onto the ground, crashing into a tree and knocking Kenneth unconscious.
Autumn Blaze was moving through the forest when spots two metal beings fighting, seeing one with what seemed to look like big meatballs with vanilla colors overshoot the green with flames coming out of its left wing and a sharks mouth with stars on its wings as it shot down the vanilla one. With a gasp Autumn drop's everything she was doing and with worries that someone is hurt. Running toward the crash of the vanilla one, when she arrived all there was is burning metal wreck and a body seemingly stuck in the wreck though it was hard to tell.
"Oh no! What happened? Doesn't look like anything i can do.." She says as her ears fold back and looks away then she suddenly gets excited. "I need to find the other one maybe they are still alive!"
Autumn starts running to where the other wreckage is and soon arrives to see the green metal bird entire left wing on fire as she ran up to the right wing and looked inside the glass canopy to see a unconscious person, ripping it off with her magic and throw it to the side, she drags the person out of plane.
Kenneth slightly moves. "Mmm... What's happening..?" Kenneth weakly says before falling unconscious again as besides his forehead bleeding from hitting it on the dashboard of the plane, he seemed fine. She quickly drags him back to her home. Once she arrived at home, she plopped him onto the couch and bandaged up his head, soon Kenneth wakes up.
"Mmmm.. Fuck my head hurts.."
Kenneth slightly sits up on the couch and watched a dragon horse with a horn started cooking, She turns around and see the person staring at her, She suddenly started talking.
"I'm Autumn Blaze, a kirin and who might you be?"
Kenneth responded with confusion.
"Umm where am I Autumn Blaze? I have never seen anything like you before."
Autumn responds back.
"Well we are in house near Vermilion and I have never seen anything like you before either."
Kenneth wondered the possibility that Japanese troops had captured him and drugged him up to see things and tell secrets but something was telling that was not the case and from what he heard from few stories the jap's would have instead tortured him, plus he still had all his stuff on and with how everything seems real, the possibility of being trapped on a hidden island with Sentient dragon ponies excited him on meet a new species and made him nervous at how the Navy or Air Force will never find him ever again.
But the need to just try to get home or rescued give him hope that he is not going to be trapped on some foreign island. Putting those thoughts to the side and noticing that this kirin is quite small and realized if he wanted to he could pick up Autumn Blaze like a cat. Everything seemed quite small now he realizes and when laying on the couch, he was too big for it. This kirin looked quite adorable.
"Well i'm a human and my name is Kenneth, nice to meet you Autumn Blaze."
Throwing his legs to front of the couch, suddenly he was hit by pain on his head and he moves his hand and touches the bandage wrapped around his head.
"Fuck, ow must've hit my head extra hard on that crash and damn glad it wasn't worse plus doesn't seem like I won't need this gear anytime soon."
He says while unstrapping his life jacket and other survival gear and placing it on the side of the couch. Looking over at Autumn and the tea she was making.
"What's that?"
Kenneth asks.
"well its a red berry tea and the berries is a natural painkiller when put into a tea and it should help with your pain."
Autumn answers as she motions to the boiling water in the pot on the stove with sliced red berries on the side with grounded up tea leaves she was going to put in it and Kenneth lies back down as there nothing to do at this point besides ask questions, he quickly checks his holster as the pristine M1911 sits in it and a knife sits in its own holster behind it in case he need to quickly grab whenever danger arrives. Taking the life jacket off the chest rig and putting chest rig back on with the pouches still on the chest rig, sitting back up.
"Its done!"
Autumn says proudly and pours the tea into two cups, bring them over and setting them on the table in front of couch as she sits next to Kenneth and picks up her cup off the small table with Kenneth picking up his cup of red tea.
"So Kenneth what were you doing before I pulled you out of that plane?"
Autumn questions Kenneth.
"Well I'm part of a World War against Imperial Of Japan and Nazi Germany, I'm a pilot of a P-40E Warhawk."
Kenneth says while sipping his tea.
"I never heard of Japan or Germ-nany but I did hear of planes being a new invention in Equestria, we are at a large continent below Equestria and we usually get most modern stuff as they try to get us up to date with the world with stuff that comes from Equestria though I haven't seen any planes around here though I did also hear Equestria is going through its own war with the changeling's on the radio."
Kenneth continues drinking his tea as the pain from his head wound is soothed away by the tea as Autumn rambles about all sorts of things as he couldn't really understand her.
"....And! I'm a diplomat part of Rain Shine group of leaders she is making!"
Autumn finished whatever she said as Kenneth finishes his tea.
"That's good Autumn but lets meet Rain Shine then, I want to help with whatever you Kirins need after we sleep since its becoming dark."
Kenneth said and yawned as he watched Autumn get up and move take your cup and her cup to the sink. He had nothing else to give but his trust and help to the Kirins after all and maybe he will get a plane that comes with one these Equestrian shipments that he heard about, laying back down on the couch, Kenneth rested as he dozed off.
The Air Force heard of a pilot that went missing and sent out a PBY Black Cat, the aircraft patrol the waters around the Solomon's, missing the slight shimmer of a portal hidden in plane sight as the dark night and dark sea has hidden it quite well and this PBY won't stop searching until something is found...
