*UNKNOWN LOCATION*
"Come on! We have to get to the tree line!"
"I don't know if I can make it!"
As they neared the tree line, the sounds of German troops and machines grew closer. The Tiger tanks distinct shape silhouetted the horizon. Trucks poured onto the crash site unloading SS squads.
"Come on Monty! Were here! We made it!"
"Can we rest now Eddie? I'm hurtin' real bad."
As Eddie set him down near a tree, he noticed moment in the dense brush ahead of him. As he drew his pistol into firing position a voice called out,
"Hold fire! Friendlies! Friendlies!"
He responded in a hushed yell,
"Star!"
They knew of English speaking Germans and created passwords only Americans Sergeants would know.
"Texas!"
He sighed as he put his pistol down. He then remembered the voice,
"Jerry?"
As he stepped out of the brush he smiled.
"Almost didn't recognize me, eh? Don't worry sarge! I ain't no Kraut!"
"Any other gliders make it?"
"A couple. But, some were either captured by the SS or shot to hell. Possibly both."
"Lets meet up with the others."
Suddenly, Search lights started scanning along the trees.
"Quick, hide!"
As they ducked they listened to a sergeant yelling to them,
"Finde sie! Der Kommandant wird einen Anfall bekommen , wenn sie das Projekt zu finden!"
(Find them! The commander will have a fit if they find the project!)
As the Germans passed, Eddie slowly drew his knife ready in case they were compromised.
Luckily, they finished their patrol and quickly got into the trucks and were gone. The Tigers also followed.
"Quickly lets gun it before they come back!"
They got up and ran into the brush.
A few hours later, they sat down near a tree.
"Where the hell are the others?" Monty grunted.
"We were supposed to regroup at these coordinates." Eddie shrugged.
Typical, Where are they? What happened to them?
Suddenly, Mortar rounds started falling around.
"Everyone, take cover!" Eddie yelled.
As everyone laid flat on the ground helpless, the mortar rounds kept coming. Everyone felt the earth tremble and the concussion waves hit them like a rock.
Suddenly, a mortar hits near Eddie causing shell shock. Everything started blurring out when Jerry came over and shook him from his concussion.
"Hey you alright?!" He yelled,
"Yea...Just a little shaken up is all." He responded.
He was cut short when he heard rumbling and clanking. He got sick to his stomach when he recognized it.
"TIGER!" He yelled.
The tank was being followed by entire platoon of SS soldiers.
"We have to get out of here!" yelled Monty
All of them started to run for the nearest brush. But Eddie noticed 3 men carrying tanks on their back.
"No! They're going to burn us out!" Eddie called out.
"Run for the hill!"
As they charged for the hill, Bullets flew all around them whistling and buzzing past their ears, Fear was running in everyone's mind.
As they started climbing up the hill, they found themselves backed against the wall.
"Where's the rest of our platoon!?" Monty panicked.
"We're on our own!" yelled Eddie.
As they tried to find a way up, a hand reached down.
"Hurry!" yelled a man.
As they were helped up, a shell hit the rock a few feet next to them into the wall.
"Shit!" yelled the voice.
As they climbed up they ran forward into the woods along with the men.
They came to a stop and rested.
"Thanks guys. Those Kraut bastards almost had us by our throats." Eddie broke the silence.
"No problem. The rest of my squad was split." replied the man.
Suddenly, the SS troops appeared out of the bush and move in.
"Oh look, there they are...now drop your weapons." The man smirked as the three dropped them.
"Sarge, what's going on?" whispered Jerry.
"I don't know." Eddie responded.
"Now, Hands behind your head!" Ordered the man.
They did as they were told and marched to the truck.
As they were put on the truck, there were others with them.
"What happened to you guys?" asked Eddie.
"We crashed and were captured. They took our clothes and started searching for the others." said one.
"Where are the others?" Asked Jerry.
"They were taken to some facility not far from here." The other said.
"That might be our target." whispered Monty.
As they slowed, they noticed they had entered a barb wired area with guard posts everywhere. They passed 3 checkpoints and were now headed to a bunker.
As they stopped they were ordered off and escorted to a building.
"What's this place?" Eddie whispered.
"Don't know, but this place creeps me out." Monty whispered back.
"I have a bad feeling this IS our target." Jerry mumbled.
As they walked in, they noticed cells with many prisoners. Most where malnourished, starving, and sick. Others, were being inspected medical beds.
"Where are we?" whispered one prisoner.
"Don't know, just keep on walking..." whispered Monty.
As they entered through a door, they see nightmares only a mad man would dream of.
Bodies strung up on meat hooks, on tables being experimented on it, and bloody floors with organs in jars or trash cans. Screams of pain were coming from the surgical rooms.
A prisoner was ready to vomit, but the guards noticed he fumbled and pulled him out of line only to beat him to the ground. As they left the room and the prisoner behind, they heard the doors close then a shot. They flinched and prayed for the strength to survive.
They arrived at their cell.
"Remember, If your called upon then you don't hesitate. Don't make eye contact and don't try anything. You will be watched closely and constantly."
As the guards left with the others, the cell doors closed and locked. Soon, they were by themselves.
"This is our target? This place is a nightmare! I mean, Human experiments?!" Monty shook his head in disbelief.
"How could the world let this happen? How can they get away with all this?" Jerry put his head in his hands.
"We're done for. No ones coming for us."
"No." replied Eddie.
"What?" Jerry lifted his head.
"No. I won't let this happen. This place is nothing but evil. We won't fall to their experiments or gaurds! Even if we do, we watch out for each other. Maybe there is a world better than this. Maybe we can overthrow them if we work together! Nothing will be stronger than a will to do. No gun is stronger than our ties!"
"But, they out number us. and they're armed. I don't think we can survive!" Monty argued.
"Well it's better than living under a fascist dictator."
Suddenly, a guard enters their cell.
"You, you, and you. Come with me." He demanded.
As the cell doors opened, they exited each feeling confident of their survival.
"You will all be examined for a test. If you succeed the test, you will be free to go home."
The guard explained them.
"If you live..." the guard murmured.
As they were being examined, they noticed a thick door that's only opened by a control panel.
"Hey what's in there?" Asked Monty
"That is where you will be heading to once you pass." The doctor replied with a heavy German accent.
This hit them in their courage. But courage is near impossible to break. They looked at each other knowing that if something happens, they will always share the same fate as brothers in arms.
"OK. You boys are in very good health and your mental state is excellent."
"What does this mean?" asked Eddie.
"You will be the first to test out our newest project. Project "ATLAS" is the name." the doctor said as he called for the guards.
"What is that?" Monty wondered.
"Well, judging by the last group of test subjects for your survival rate, you will be sent somewhere else. We are unable to keep track of where you go so, wherever you go then you should be able to find the others. We always keep it on the same coordinates anyway."
"Are we going to get weapons to defend ourselves?" Jerry asked.
"Yes. Your heart pulse and mental state will be monitored." Replied the doctor.
The guards entered and gave them clothes. As they put it on, they were told that the weapons would be given to them when they were inside the testing chamber.
As they approached the door, the guard whispered something to the control operator. The door opened and a white room with a machine appeared before them.
"Wow. This is so bright."Eddie awed.
As they approached the platform, the guards gave them weapons and left the room.
As the door closed, they heard a deep rumbling and a loud siren.
"Remember, if anything happens, we all share the fate. We're all in this together!" Eddie motivated them.
They showed fear in their eyes but on the inside, they were filled with excitement!
A count down began,
5...
4...
3...
"See you guys on the other side!" yelled Monty
2...
1...
A big flash and a loud deafening roar sent them spiraling. They all felt sort of...relaxed. They felt as if they were floating.
Are we dead? This thought ran through all their minds.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the darkness. They felt their minds return to their bodies and they felt weight again! Next, they were waking up in a ruined city.
"Oh no..." Jerry felt scared. "Did...Did they win the war? Is this the future?"
Suddenly they heard voices, girl voices.
"Hide quick, I think they're here!"
They ducked into the ruins, ready to surprise attack the "enemy".
Suddenly, he could hear now. They were girl voices.
That's odd...they don't sound German. As Eddie wondered the voices got closer.
"Hey guys," Eddie called, "Hold your fire. They don't sound German."
The voices stopped. Then they heard the sheath of a sword and guns being loaded.
The voices turned to hushes and whispers.
Then they jumped out with weapons drawn.
Everyone had a weapon aimed at them, Like a scene from a standoff.
"Who are you guys?" Eddie asked.
"Better question, why are you guys out here in the middle of nowhere?" The girl blonde asked.
"We asked first, Where are we, what happened here, and who are you four?" Jerry asked.
"You guys seem...lost." The Hooded one said. "Where do you guys come from?"
"We don't know. We were on a mission..." Eddie started but then the memories of the murderous Nazi regime, what they did to the prisoners.
As Eddie fell to his knees, everyone dropped their weapons to help him. Then he passes out.
The red hooded girl spoke,
"Your friend doesn't look too good. Would you guys like to come with us? Our headmaster would know what to do."
"It seems like the only choice we have..." Jerry replied. "Fine. Monty, Cary him. Do you guys have a ride?"
"Yes. How else would we get out here?" The white haired girl replied.
"Where is it?"
"Follow us!" The hooded one replied.
They start walking down the empty city streets towards a clearing. Then a wierd humming begins to ring in Monty's ear.
"Whats that sound?" He asks.
"That's our ride!" The blonde replies.
Then the ride appears flying in.
"Where's the runway? Hows it going to land?" questioned Jerry.
"Runway? What's that?" a confused look appeared on the hooded girls face.
Soon it lands and the back opens, amazing the men. A man appears with green hair and coffee.
"Who is that?" Monty asked.
"That's professor Oobleck." The hooded one replied.
She walks over and talks with the man. He looks over and back and then nods.
She walks over to them.
"He'll have a talk with the headmaster to see if you guys can stay. You guys are not the only ones we're taking in."
"There were others?" A curious look dawned on Monty's face.
"Yes. Others appeared in the exact same spot as you guys. They seemed rather odd and were very confused."
"I'l explain everything when we get Eddie medical attention."
"Yes, now is not the time nor place to introduce ourselves. We might attract unwanted attention. Let's hurry."
They entered the Bullhead and sat Eddie down on the seats. As they took off, Monty noticed two men. One was a wearing a familiar shade of grey, the other was wearing a face mask. He could not see them clearly enough to make out the grey one's face. Soon, they were off to safety.
