The World of Astrial

Leo sighs heavily out of annoyance "ahh i got an idea is their a thick forest close by ?? i got some camouflage made for forest terrain that should conseil the truck a decent amount" Leo says looking at everyone.

"I don't care what you do with it. Just get rid of it before I do." He sighed. "There's a forest nearby, but it could be found. Hunters go into that forest a lot."

"of cores they do hmmm... and your not touching the TRUCK !" Leo says in an angered voice while looking at Angelo "hmmmm.."

"Then get rid of it." Angelo narrowed his eyes. He sighed and looked around. "I still have no idea what's going on though."

"There isn't much choice in the matter Leo. After all, you won't get much value out of it anymore. There aren't any gas stations out here, no refined petroleum fuel sources, so you might as well just trash the vehicle." Korbin said, getting annoyed with Leo's attachment to the vehicle.

Alisa sighed as she find the team still on the rookie side as she extended her palm out at the truck, "Swap!" The truck was replaced with a futuristic motorcycle, rather long compared to the modern ones. Her left ring on the ring finger shined as the motorcycle then disappeared. "The truck is parked near my house in a secluded forest. I couldn't directly store it into my portal warehouse without his permission. With you need anything, I'll teleport back.... Now what to do with you...."

"W-well...." Arisa said as she slowly walked over and handed Leo the guild card, "Your guild card...your stats and skills are listed on there. As well as your name and titles." Among the title section, there was only a single title labeled: Summoned Hero.

"..............." leo stands their annoyed looking at Alisa "really you couldn't have done that earlier hmmmmm....."

Eliana began shaking her head.

"Let's just get back to ze guild. We can brief him along the way."

She wasn't sure how he was going to hide the weapons truck.

After seeing Alisa poof it into a motorcycle she thought "Well wasn't zat convenient?"

"Don't worry Leo, we've got you. We'll help you learn everyzing you need to know."

"Hey, am I just to be ignored? Nothing has been explained to me? And I'm to let him in? Who do you think I am?" He sounded slightly annoyed, but didn't really let it show.

"Well I don't know if I would approve of him just being let in but he's another summoned hero, like me or Eliana." Korbin said to Angelo.

Eliana just glared at Angelo for a second.

Then she looked back to Leo. "Don't worry, he's just weary of new comers. We'd love you to come with us, Leo. "

She winked at him once.

Kris was quite impressed with Alisa's magic, smiling over at her. "That's a handy spell!" she complimented her.

Picking up on Angelo's irritation, she could not offer much of a solution for him. "He appeared in front of the building in his truck, as the other humans say they did. So that means we're sort of stuck with him, right?"

As she glanced back and forth between the mixed signals that were being given to Leo, the cleric huffed a sigh. "He's going to run off, with all the different things being said! Angelo is hesitant, Korbin is ambiguous, Eliana is welcoming . . . "

She posed a question to Korbin, "Did they just let you in? Or was there some kind of process you had to go through?"

Kris agreed with Eliana, "As Eliana says, we will have you straightened out and we'll be on the way to the banquet in no time at all! But . . . . I'm thinking we'll have to do something with that hair," she tapped a finger against her chin, looking thoughtful as she regarded Leo. She was one to talk!

leo yawns out of boredom "soooo we just going to stand here all day or something ?" leo says as he puts his hands into his pockets.

"No of course not! Right zis way!"

She smiled at Kris for a second then at Leo. She seemed to be glad Kris was taking her side here.

She began to lead the way back to the guild.

He's going to need to be cleaned up a bit. Once we get him situated, I'm certain he'll be useful. Anyone wiz firearms is a good ally.

After being ignored by Eliana John decided to leave the scene.

"If im gonna get ignored il go, not even mad" he thought to himself.

"Do I even need to be here? Barely acknowledged in the first place amd the hero's have enough guidance as is. I'm still new to the whole guide thing. I sit from far and watch over people I don't teach. Maybe I should ask the king if he can relieve me of my duties to the hero's because I haven't done much for them." He thought again.

John decided to walk back inside trying to avoid attention. Hand still on his dagger he walked toward's the guild where he planned on writing a message for the king explaining how he felt.

"I'm not cut out for this stuff." He groaned as he went back into the guild.

Meanwhile 1944, Germany.

The Russians were investigating German technology. Andrei was there overseeing the whole thing. The Americans and the Russians had been fighting over Germany in this alternative timeline in order to secure Germany's technology and scientists. Right now, Andrei was probing a German scientist for information.

"What is zis technology for?" Andrei inquired.

"It would appear to be a teleportation device, sir. Possibly capable of cross-dimensional travel. But I don't know how to work the thing, I'm just an intern!" The scientist replied nervously.

"Zis device seems likely to be useful to Mozer Russia. Would you please give me a simple demonstration?"

"Well, sir, I'm not entirely sure it'll be able to work at all. You see-"

Andrei let out a loud sigh which stopped any discussion right there.

"Don't screw wiz me, get to ze point. Can it work?"

"Not likely sir."

Andrei stared at the scientist for a long moment analyzing his face. Ze fool is lying... but why? Hmmm...

Andrei pushed the scientist against the wall and grabbed him by the neck.

"Tell me now, or I'll fucking kill you. Can you operate zis device or not?"

The scientist's instinct was to struggle for a second until he gasped saying "Yes.... Yes I can..... please...."

Andrei threw him to the ground after a moment and gave the German scientist a kick. Andrei turned around and took a few steps, puffing his cigar. "Excellent, I'm glad we understand eachozer."

Andrei was standing right in front of what looked like a doorway. But there wasn't a door on it, and there was a wall behind it. This "doorway" was wired up to a machine, the one Andrei had been interested in.

Andrei turned around and walked back towards the scientist, who was still laying on the ground. "Get up."

The scientist quivered.

"I said, GET ZE FUCK UP!" He forced the scientist to his feet and gave him another punch to the face.

The scientist was looking like he just wanted to be dead.

"Now turn zis device on, and show me a demonstration."

The German scientist stumbled over towards the machine, and began flicking some switches. A lot of crazy beeping and flashing came from the machine, then a feminine synthesized voice said "Warp sequence activated!"

The doorway-like structure began to spark and soon a portal opened which was maintained by the structure.

"Very interesting. Now where might zis doorway lead to?" Andrei asked, puffing his cigar.

"Well.... there's really no way for me to " the German scientist coughed "Tell. I'm very sorry."

"Well if you're zis useless, zan you can find out for me." Andrei picked the German scientist up, and began carrying him towards the portal.

The scientist panicked, and quickly reached into his lab coat for a dissection knife. He jabbed it into Andrei's side.

Surprised, Andrei dropped the scientist right in front of the portal.

Now pumping with adrenaline, the scientist used all his strength to push Andrei through the portal, after which he powered off the machine.

World of Astrial

A portal appeared in front of John Halthorn, who had been walking alone back to the guild.

The portal seemed unstable, barely maintaining itself. Not a second later, Andrei came flying out of this portal.

He flew and slammed right into John, knocking them both to the ground. Andrei rolled off of John, onto the ground. The knife which had been used to stab Andrei had now been pushed in deeper. The portal had immediately closed itself.

Andrei was dressed in his full Russian military uniform. He had his pack on him and his Thompson sub-machine gun had fallen out.

It wasn't long before Andrei got to his feet. He was quickly searching his pack for something to just stop the bleeding when the time came to pull the knife out. He hadn't even had time to say much to John because he was in survival mode.

Just as Arisa slowly skittle off with the group, Alisa was behind the group, just noticing John heading off. She went off to grab him back to the party only to see another hero teleport right in with a sub-machinegun this time.

John was shaken by what had just happened. This man just appeared. John saw the bleeding right away and acted fast. Without hesitation John reached into a small pocket in his belt. He then pulled out a small bottle of one of his self made antidotes that closes small to medium sized wounds.

"Listen to me now I'm here to help you" he says calmly.

John then grabbed Andrei and layer him down on then he ground. He then pulled out the knife and putting it aside. John then poured the liquid all over the wound sealing it and stopping the bleeding. This wasn't then he he he strongest form of medicine so Andrei would still feel pain but any high risk of getting seriously hurt is basically avoided.

"You're ok." He said calmly.

"I'm going to go get you more help." John then took a few steps and shouted to everyone.

"Kris!! Everyone we have a situation I need a healer immediately and anyone else who can tell me what the hell is going on." John then walked back to Andrei and took all things that looked like weapons all way from him and drew his dagger and held it inches away from his neck.

"Who are you and how did you get here" John said with an intimidating voice.

Andrei was sensible enough to know that he wasn't in the best condition to argue or put up a fight. He also knew that he could easily talk his way out of most things so he went along with everything.

Andrei's voice was very collected and unalarmed. "Comrade. I am here -"

As Andrei was talking, he saw Eliana rushing towards him.

"-in search of my daughter. She had mysteriously disappeared and -"

"Fazer!" Eliana yelled out.

As soon as she saw John she yelled at him saying "GET ZE HELL AWAY FROM MY FAZER! IF YOU DO ONE THING TO HURT HIM I'll"

Eliana had completely lost all resolve. That's just how she was when it came to her father, Andrei. She couldn't even begin to be rational about the situation.
