1. Peruvian Rainforest, 1942

Peruvian Rainforest,Peru 1942

May 1st Friday 6:00 a.m.

The sun was just starting to rise over the landscape. A rather beautiful sight, no doubt, no doubt indeed. The raindrops on the leaves reflected the sunlight like a the light from a flashlight through a glass door. The birds making their early morning calls. There were no humans that lived here. Devoid of human life. The animals and plants that lived there could care less since of course they only focused on survival not on a threat.

A tiny army ant was scurrying across the ground like a caged lion. The ant scurried up a tree. And just in time. A khaki colored ankle high safari boot landed on the same spot that the ant was just on moments before. A man looked ahead to see a large mountain in the distance. He grinned. If he had not taken his nature lessons, then, well, how could he find his way in the middle of a jungle without a gps? He wore a Indiana Jones fedora, bull whip, and everything that Indiana Jones would wear on his adventures.

Behind him, were nine other men. The two that were on either side of him were Sparranca and Batipo. They wore long,wethered, and sweat stained khakis. The rest were natives that wore green ponchos and colored caps. The year was 1942, but yet another depressing year for The Allied Powers. Hitler and his axis powers were gaining ground ever more quickly. The Russians were losing tons of troops, Tojo was overrunning Asia, Salazar was giving supplies to the axis, Mussolini was busy with taking over North Africa, and Franco and Austria were sending troops to The Eastern Front. WWII was at its' eighth year. The height of The Axis Powers.

The group came up to a small tree. Eh... about you would say ten feet tall and one foot wide and one foot long. Sparranca and Batipo stopped and saw on the tree a three inch long dart stuck to the side. They walked up to it. Batipo took out the dart, licked the tip of it.

"Ptew! Veneno. Tres días. Nos están siguiendo," Batipo said as he looked back towards the jungle.

Sparranca glared at Batipo.

"Batipo,sabían que estábamos aquí, nos habrían matado ya," Sparranca mumbled in a sarcastic tone.

The duo immediately caught up with the group.

The group of 10 came up to a cliff side. The lead figure held out his hand. Sparranca,Batipo, and seven of the men turned and followed the lead figure away from the cliffs' edge. But the man behind the group tripped on fell off the cliff to his death at the river below where hungry caimans were waiting.

From the cliffs edge, the group followed the lead figure back into the jungle. Then, man number 9 fell into a covered pit. The lead figure did not expect one of the men to scream, but he did not flinch at all when he heard it. One of the men pushed a piece of brush and saw a Stone demon face and screamed as bats came out of the eyes of the statue. He ran back the way they came. The rest of the natives followed in pursuit.

The remaining three men walked over a small hill which lead to a river. The lead figure held out his hand and made give me it gesture. Batipo took out a piece of a map and put it in the figure's hand. The figure then took out another map and put them together. A perfect fit. Batipo stared in wonder.

Sparranca also stared in wonder, but then took out his revolver, clanked the handle, and aimed it at the figure's back.
