SAS HQ, Hereford, UK. Many hours ago.
Price has never been so upset to know that he didn't find Makarov. He made a promise to Miho long ago; if he finds him Price will kill him. He, along with his comrades, did many raids onto Makarov's cell. He was hoping that he found the bastard. But they found something else.
They discovered information stating that Makarov has built a portal, straight to Miho's universe. Price feared the worst for it.
Not only they found out Makarov managed to build a portal for his army. They could not discover where the Ultranationalist's portal is located.
This information has been informed to the UN, especially the US, UK and Russia. This is a very concerning threat because they will be dealing with an International and Dimensional-Level Threat — codename Gamma-Red.
If Makarov has gone to the other universe, he will spread chaos there before coming back here. Possibly with a much large-scale army. So Price proposed a solution to Macmillan.
They need to use that portal. The one they locked away inside Hereford. They need to get to the other side of the portal to reach Miho
Price, Nikolai, and Yuri stood in front of the inactive portal machine. Waiting as Wallcroft, Frost and a few engineers are calculating the coordinates of the said universe. Other soldiers are present in the hangar, most notably the SAS troopers, some Delta Force Operators, and frankly much to Macmillan's surprise; there are a few members of FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) Spetsnaz Units that are sent by President Vorshevsky himself. The reason why he sent them here was obvious.
To avoid the same mistake about Makarov.
As the soldiers are packing up to go to the other side of the portal, Macmillan came into the hangar. Price, Nikolai, and Yuri turned around and greeted Price's old mentor. Price grins to see his mentor is in his black SAS uniform. Knowing that Price, Yuri and Nikolai are still wearing their TF 141 jackets.
"Is everything ready to go?" Macmillan asked them.
"Almost," Nikolai replied, then points his thumb to the control panel where Wallcroft and Frost are at. "They're still finding the right coordinates and calculations to get to Miho's universe."
"It has been a while that we don't use the portal," Yuri added.
"I'm sure everything will be just fine," Macmillan then pulls out three earpieces from his pocket. "Here, take these."
"You know we can't contact you once we're on the other side, right?" Price asked as the three men took the earpieces and wore them.
"These earpieces are different," Macmillan responded. "These will allow you to contact us once you are on the other side of the portal."
"Since when did you make this?" Nikolai asked with his rather high tone.
"After Miho returned to her universe," Macmillan replied, then shrugged. "I was already prepared for an event such as this."
"I see you become wiser," Price sarcastically replied.
"Aren't you?" Macmillan countered, earning chuckles from the men.
"Did you ever run a test with these?" Yuri asked with doubt. "It looks like you're about to make your own one-stop-shop."
"I won't be looking forward to opening that shop, thank you," Macmillan replied with a chuckle. "But we did test these."
"Wait, so you're saying you already send someone to another dimension while you're testing these?" Price cannot hold the urge to disbelieve of what Macmillan just did.
"Yes, but of course, it wasn't Miho's universe," Macmillan replied with a shook. "These earpieces are working, but they had to get out from that dimension earlier."
The men gaze at him in confusion. "Why?" Price asked.
"I don't even know either," Macmillan shrugs with his head tilts. "Although we didn't suffer any casualty, Marlow kept screaming about 'that planet is full of 173.' He didn't bother to explain to me what's 173, aside from creepy looking statues."
The men stare blankly at him. "What's 173?" Yuri asked.
It seems Nikolai realized what that fellow meant. "Oh, you mean SCP-173."
They then turned their gaze to him. "What?" the men simultaneously asked.
"SCP-173," Nikolai replied. "You know? Anomalous Statues that can break people's necks. There's a file about it on the internet, in the SCP Foundation website."
They stare at him for a moment before looking back at Macmillan who's rubbing his forehead now. "I don't even want to know about that."
Nikolai casually widens his arms with a flat smile. "If you say so, comrade."
"Hey, captain!" they turned their heads to Wallcroft, who's currently giving a thumbs up from the control panel. "We are good to go!"
"You got the coordinates for Miho's universe?" Macmillan asked aloud.
"Good question," Frost responded before he averts his eyes off the panel. "We lost the coordinates for Miho's universe."
The four men groaned in irritation. "How the bloody hell did you lose that coordinate, mate?" Macmillan retorted questioningly.
"The damn bloody office cleaner screwed his job!" Wallcroft annoyingly replied. "He tore it to shred. For now, we only have half of the coordinates survived. We have to tic-ta-toe and tune the coordinates on our own to get to Miho's universe."
"Blyat," Yuri swore, his hands on his hip." I didn't get paid enough for this nonsense."
"I'm pretty glad I don't have to bring a plane here," Nikolai added with a smug smile.
"So, you're telling me that we have to go back here again after we entered the wrong universe?" Price asked for a clear explanation.
"Not really," Wallcroft responded as he looked on the control panel. "When you entered the wrong dimension, we'll pop up another portal inside for you to go to the other dimension. Hopefully, the right one."
"And once we get the right coordinates of Miho's universe," Frost added in. "We can begin sending our troops through to help out Miho's forces against Makarov."
"That's nice," Price commented, as he, Yuri and Nikolai prepped their rifles that were hanging on their shoulders. "Let's just hope we didn't get shot first after we enter the wrong house."
Nikolai grins at him. "You make it sound like you're playing Grand Theft Auto."
Price stares at him. "Excuse me?"
"Nevermind."
Nikolai and Yuri immediately walked off; then, Price turns his head to his mentor. "I wish you good luck out there, son."
"Will do, Mac," Price replied with a nod.
"And don't forget to send my regards to the old girl."
Price snickers at that. "Sure, maybe also a cup of tea."
"That would be better."
*WWWHHIIIIIRRRRRRR-BWWUUUUUUSSSHHHHH*
Both men turned their heads and saw the portal is open, brightly. The mentor and the old man looked at each other again, before giving the nod to each other. Macmillan then walks over to the control penal as Price catches up with the two Russians near the portal. Price stops in between them as he looked at them.
"Ready, Price?" Yuri asked.
Price then glances at the bright portal in front of them, giving a slight nod.
"Let's go."
The men face at the portal, take a deep breath before jumping through the portal.
*WHIIIIIR-PPWWUUSH*
The three men nearly stumbled down the floor. They readjust themselves after that weird ride with the portal. And the first thing they notice was how snowy and how cold the area they just entered. The three men lifted their heads to their surroundings.
Only to notice there are a lot of soldiers in a white advanced battle suit staring at them, with their advanced looking rifles still pointing down to the ground.
They froze on the spot, which Nikolai awkwardly greets. "Uhh… hello."
*CHCLAK-WHIIIIIIRRRR*
And the advanced soldiers aim their rifles at them.
Price sighs in defeat. "Great job, Nikolai."
Nikolai shrugs at him. "I was just saying hello."
"Hey!" the men then turned their heads to one particular group, four women with their much colorful outfits. It was the girl in a white dress who called them out. "Who are you?!"
"Just soldiers," Yuri replied as their hands slowly raised to the sky.
"Soldiers?" the catgirl in black outfit replied. "Never seen soldiers like you before."
"And I never have seen guns like that before," the girl in red hood replied. "Can I take a look at it?"
"Ruby!" The girl with blonde hair in her rather sexy looking outfit called out. "Don't ask that to them! What if they are a threat?"
"Wait, wait, wait," Nikolai interrupts in. "You must be team RWBY, right?"
Oh, boy, how surprised they were to hear that. Even Yuri and Price gazed at him.
"EEH?!" – Ruby
"Excuse me?!" – Weiss
"Wait. What?" – Yang
"How did y-?" – Blake
"Yep," Nikolai widen his arms to his side, ignoring the fact that everyone is pointing their weapons at them. "This is the wrong universe."
"Oh, great," Price then reaches for his earpiece. "Wallcroft, do you hear me?"
"Loud and clear, boss," Wallcroft radioed back.
"Wrong universe," Price responded. "I say again, wrong universe. Give us a new portal."
"Ok, standby," Wallcroft radioed again.
"Wait, I demand you to explain how did you know us!" Weiss demanded angrily, pointing her rapier to them.
"Oh, forgive us, Princess," Yuri sarcastically replied. "We have some pressing matters to do, and we're traveling around the universe."
"Oh, and don't forget," Nikolai raised his index finger. "I'm a big fan of your team."
That weird statement earned him everyone's gaze, including Yuri's and Price's.
Ruby looks like she's about to be trigger happy. "R-really?!"
Price shook his head and looked at Nikolai. "Dammit, Nikolai."
"What?"
*WHIIIIIIRRR-BWWWUUUUUUSH*
Once the portal appeared, Price looked at his men. "Let's get out from here before we get more trouble."
"Sure," Nikolai looks back at the girls as Price and Yuri were already through the portal. "Do svidaniya, Team RWBY."
Nikolai then finally enters the portal. The portal immediately disappeared after that. The girls and the Atlas soldiers were left confused about what just happened. They only continue to stare at where the portal was. Blake blinks many times as she stares blankly.
"Okay, what just happened?"
*WHIIIIIRRR-PWUUUUSSSHHH*
They are happy that they didn't stumble. But when they looked around again, they are baffled to see that they are on green hills. And the sky is decorated with outlines of abstract flowers. They know they're in the wrong universe. But something caught them off-guard.
It was Yuri who noticed it first. "Funny, why it smells like saltwater?"
Once he asked that, they three slowly looked at each other. And their faces slowly show their horrors at the realization.
"Lads," Price paused for a moment. "Don't tell me we are breathing underwater."
The three stare at each other blankly. They can do nothing but to express their poker faces.
"Arg, Great…" Price looks away from his friends in disbelief before facepalming.
"I guess we just found out why the navy loves the sea," Nikolai replied with a shrug.
Price sighs, before reaching his earpiece. "Wallcroft, wrong universe."
"Bollocks, standby," Wallcroft responded.
"Hurry up, before we're getting seasick!" Nikolai stated aloud.
"Seasick? What are you talking about?" Macmillan responded in the earpiece.
"We are breathing underwater!" Yuri can't believe he has to say this.
The fact that how screwed up the universes are after Macmillan tested the earpieces, they believed it. "Oh, that's… alright, sending another portal in 10 seconds."
"What universe are we in right now, Nikolai?" Price asked him.
"Spongebob Squarepants."
Both men just stared at him in disbelieve. "A kid's show?"
Price only groans at the same time when the portal pops in front of them.
"Come on, lads," Price gestured to them. "Let's get the bloody hell out of here."
The three men proceed to enter the portal before it suddenly disappeared. Unbeknownst to them, there was one figure who watched them from afar. Patrick Star couldn't help, but to left his mouth wide open with a blank stare. He just thought of one thing.
"Oooh, I hope I can play with them!"
*WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRR-BWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSHSHH*
After they went through the portal, the first thing they did was to vomit. They kept vomiting saltwater out from their noses and mouths until they cough. They are pretty sure they were breathing 1 liter of saltwater back there. They then checked their surroundings again to see where they are after a constant of complaining.
They pretty much didn't expect to see a Nazi emblem inside an abandoned, literally bloody building.
The men only looked around their surroundings, Nikolai whistles in astonishment. "Huh, I wonder what history left untold from the Second World War."
"I'm not looking forward to finding out," Yuri replied with a sigh. "Somehow, this place is starting to give the creeps."
"I could say the same, Yuri," Price then looks away from his men. "Looks like we're in the wro-"
Price halts and heard his rifle cocked. Both Yuri and Nikolai looked at his direction.
Only to find out there's a hoard of zombies marching up to them.
"What the blin?!" Yuri cocked his rifle and aimed at the marching zombies. "Nazi Zombies?!"
"I thought I'd seen everything," Nikolai added as the men backup from the zombies.
"There's a whole lot of them!" Yuri stated aloud.
"They're just zombies!" Price responded. "Shoot 'em down!"
*BRRRRRRRATATTATATATATATTAT*
*DRARRARARARRTATATTRATA*
*DORDORDORDORDORDORDOR*
*BRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTR*
The zombies were quickly mowed down. Surprisingly, it wasn't the men's doing. They lowered their rifles with mild confusion and a big relief. They then left their rifles hanging on their front.
"Hey!"
The three men turned their heads to the direction of the voice to see there are four soldiers in their WW2 attires coming over to them. An American, A Russian, An SS German, and finally a Japanese Captain. An Ultimis Group.
The American soldier asked them first. "Who the hell are you?"
"141 Soldiers," Price replied. "But from the future."
"Future?" the German doctor asked. "Interesting."
"What are your names?" the Japanese asked, hearing only soldiers didn't satisfy him much.
"It's Price."
"Yuri."
"Nikolai."
The WW2 Russian looked pretty surprised. "Wait, your name is Nikolai? My name's Nikolai as well."
"Oh, that's such a coincidence," Nikolai commented with a smile.
"Yeah, by the way, I'm Tank Dempsey." – Dempsey
"Takeo Masaki," – Takeo
"Edward Richtofen." – Richtofen
"Good to meet you, lads," Price replied with a nod. "Do you mind telling us where we are right now?"
"You're in the Cinema of the Dead," Takeo answered, which made the future soldiers raised their eyebrows. "Now tell us how the hell did you get here."
"We're traveling through dimensions," Yuri answered before Price managed to shut him up.
"Wait, you too?" Nikolai Belinski asked in surprise. "Huh, I must be drunk."
The men surprised of Belinski's response. "Wait, you're traveling around the universe as well?" Price asked with his head leans forward.
"More like time traveling, bro," Dempsey then points his thumb at the German doctor. "Gotta thanks to this sonofabitch."
"Hey, be 'nice,'" Richtofen reminds him.
"Oh, I'm nice, doc!" Dempsey sarcastically replied. "It's all thanks to the zombies that you made!"
Price, Yuri, and Nikolai gave an empty glare at the doctor. "I wonder how'd that happen," Yuri wondered.
"It's better we don't ask that," Price responded.
"Fair enough."
Takeo then replies to them. "Why do you travel around the universe?"
"Trying to meet a friend of ours," Nikolai replied. "And to stop an international terrorist from creating chaos across the universe."
"Wait, you shoot bad guys?" Dempsey asked with a smile. "Damn, I wonder if I could go back to those old days. Instead of shooting shit up to the zombies."
"We're sorry to hear that," Yuri replied with a nod.
"Nah, it's fine," Nikolai drunkenly waved his hand to them. "We already have our fun, comrades."
*WUUUUUUEEEERRRGRGRRGRGR*
Everyone then turned their heads to the main doorway in the cinema. A hoard of zombies is coming from there. The Ultimis Group cocked their weapons and face at the zombies.
"Looks like the fun is about to start," Richtofen stated the obvious.
"Then we should be heading out," Price said.
"No shit," Dempsey replied as he shot a few zombies down. "You boys get the eff out of here. We do our work here."
"Copy," Price then reached for his earpiece. "Wallcroft, it's still the wrong universe. Open up a portal here ASAP."
"What's with the rush?" Frost responded on the radio.
"You sent us to a universe where zombies are trying to eat us!" Nikolai stated aloud on the radio.
"WHAT!?" it's odd to hear Wallcroft, Frost and Macmillan said that at the same time. "Bloody wanker, give me a moment."
*WHIIIIIIRRRR-BWUUUUUSHH*
"Okay, there's the portal, let's go!" Price informed them before heading off to the portal.
"Have safe travel, comrades!" Nikolai Belinski shouted to them, who gave a thumbs up.
Once they entered the portal, it quickly disappeared. Leaving only the last four men standing to fight against the Nazi Zombies. Dempsey happily cocked his Trench Shotgun and aimed it at the Zombies.
"Alright, boys! Let's start this shitshow!"
*WHIIIIIIIIIRRRRRR-BWWUUUUSHH*
They teleported again to an area with the floor of concrete. The first thing they notice is that the day is already night. The second, they're in the middle of an abandoned carnival. Third, the atmosphere is pretty silent.
Lastly, they are in the middle of the zombies.
The men can't help but irritate at sight. "Zombies again, really?" Yuri complained.
All the zombies quickly stared back at them.
"Yes, zombies again," Price replied flatly, giving a poker face.
*BRRRRRRRATATTATATATATATTAT*
*DRARRARARARRTATATTRATA*
*DORDORDORDORDORDORDOR*
*BRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTR*
And again, the zombies are mowed down by someone else instead of the men themselves.
They looked at who mowed the zombies down and saw four survivors coming up to them. One big black man (not being racist, mind you), one black woman, one white man in a yellow shirt and a cap, and one man in a white suit and blue shirt.
"Woah, you guys are soldiers?" the black man, Coach, asked in surprise. "I thought they have their asses out of the city."
"Chto?" Nikolai asked in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"You left us when we were about to reach the evacuation point!" the man in the white suit, Nick, replied. "What else?!"
The men only stared at them for a moment, before Price responded to them. "I think you're talking to the wrong soldier."
"Wrong soldier?" the black woman, Rochelle, asked in surprise. "What the hell you're talking about, sir?"
"Hang on a minute," the man in the yellow shirt and a cap, Ellis, interrupts. "You're not CEDA?"
"Nope, we're 141," Yuri responded to them.
"141?" Coach asked. "What's that?"
"A special Task Force," Price flatly replied, before looking back to Nikolai. "Wrong universe, call it in."
"Wallcroft, it's Nikolai," Nikolai sighed that. "You just sent us to another universe with zombies in it, again. Get us out of here!"
"Again?" Wallcroft is sure damn surprised at that. "Give me a moment."
"Dude, did you just say you traveled to another universe?" Ellis asked with a raised brow.
"Yes, we did," Yuri replied with a nod.
"Oh, that sounds awesome!" Ellis happily replied in his rather Texan accent.
"Bro, seriously," Nick replied, he only waved his handgun to his side. "They're just bluffing about that!"
*WWHIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRR-BWWUUUUUUUUUSSSH*
The moment Nick said that the portal suddenly appeared behind the three soldiers. The survivors drop their jaw open as the soldiers only stood unfazed with a blank expression.
Yuri only shrugged and winced his mouth. "Were you saying?"
"Damn, you guys aren't bullshitting with us," Coach commented with his high tone, continued by Rochelle. "What do you guys doing with that portal?"
"Trying to meet with a friend of ours," Price replied as he cracked his hands. "And trying to stop a terrorist from spreading chaos throughout the universe."
"Why? He started World War 3?" Nick sarcastically asked.
"He did that back in our place," Nikolai optimistically replied, much to the survivors' surprise.
"Pardon us, but we have to move now," Price replied, as he was in a hurry.
"Sure, no problem," Ellis nodded as the men nodded back before the soldiers headed for the portal. "Good luck out there, y'all."
"Good luck to you too, comrades," Nikolai replied happily with a wave before they enter the portal. In which the portal disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Well, it's good to see some good soldiers for a while," Coach as he rests his shotgun on his shoulder.
"It makes me wonder why don't we tag along with them through that portal," Nick sarcastically commented, which made Rochelle sighs.
"I don't think it's a good idea," Rochelle answered.
"Besides, we would make more trouble than we should," Ellis agreed. "While I would love to travel to another universe, interfering with the soldiers' business is not a good idea. Because they're dealing with a terrorist that can travel around the universe as well."
Nick laughed, sometimes Ellis makes things sense. "Alright, alright, you're right, Ellis. Now, how about we move on?"
"Sure, I don't like sticking around here pretty long."
The four survivors continue to make their way through the infested carnival. Their memory of meeting those unique soldiers will forever be in their minds.
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
They teleported out the portal again, this time they made a sigh with their eyes closed. When they decide to open their eyes, they met with a baffling sight. They are inside a Japanese like a small house; all walls are white with a kanji emblem hanging on their right. A few cabinets, teacups, and tea equipment are available inside. With a square table in the middle of the room.
That's not all. In front of them are six teenage girls present in the room. Three of the girls still standing and the other last three are still sitting. The men immediately realized these girls are Junior High School girls, seeing from how small they are and how old they are.
The men quickly looked down on their rifles and immediately got their fingers off the trigger.
"Uh…" Nikolai paused for a moment before looking over to Price. "How do you say 'excuse me' in Japanese?"
Price sighs before looking at the girls who are all staring back at him in confusion and curiosity. "I have no bloody idea."
"Umm… who are you?" the white-haired girl, Chitose, who is a student council, asked.
"Just soldiers," Yuri replied awkwardly as the men quickly looked at each other. "Don't mind us."
"What are soldiers doing here?" the Magenta-reddish-haired girl, Akaza, asked curiously.
"Looking for a friend of ours," Price replied, then raised his index finger. "By the way, does tankery match exist here?"
The girls only stare blankly at them, looking like a bunch of idiots. Price changes the subject. "Nevermind, is this the 21st century?"
"Ah…" the black girl, Yui, replies awkwardly. "Yes, it is."
"Yep, wrong universe," Nikolai quickly radioed in. "Wallcroft, what the blyat?! It's the wrong universe!"
"Nikolai, can you hold your swearing?" Yuri calmly reminds him.
"Why?"
"Do you realize you swore in front of the girls?!" Yuri gestured at the girls as he looked at him.
The purple-haired girl, Ayano, confused by these statements. "Hu- what swearing?!"
"Hey, they're Japanese. We're Russians," Nikolai replied with his hands raised. "They are not going to know about that."
"Actually, Yuri has a point, Nikolai," Price responded with a nod.
"Ugh, fine," Nikolai then mumbles to himself. "Blin."
The blonde girl, Kyouko, gives a random question. "Does no one consider calling the police?"
The men gave an alarmed reaction to her, followed by the pink-haired girl, Chinatsu, who gave her agreement. "Yeah, why didn't we think about that?"
"Wallcroft…" Nikolai said it from low to high. "The portal. NOW!"
"What's the rush, mate?" Wallcroft asked. "Can't you see I'm trying to drink the tea with the director?"
"Because you teleported us inside a small house," Price added. "Which inhabited by 8 Junior High School girls who knew that Sensha-Do never existed."
Yuri soon adds in. "And sooner or later, they'll be thinking that we're pedophiles."
"EEEEEEEHHHHHHH!"
Wish Yuri didn't say that. He didn't realize he says that out loud. Price and Nikolai glare at him. "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
"Great," Price sighed in irritation. "They'll be calling the police at this rate."
"Who has a phone?!" Akaza asked, panicked.
"Hang on…" Wallcroft radioed in. "There we go."
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
Right when the portal appears, the girls quickly halt what they are doing. And instead, deadpanned at the men and the portal with wide eyes and wide mouth according to the size of anime logic (no pun intended). Not only that, their eyes change into blank white eyes as if they have seen enough things in their life. Price only turned around and bowed at them.
"Forgive us for the interruption," Price calmly replied. "We won't be bothering you."
Price then turns around at the portal. "Let's go, mates."
They then entered the portal before it quickly disappears.
The girls didn't leave their gaze off from where the portal was. They are confused, shocked, and disbelieve at the same time. Kyouko still has her confused face with a fake smile while the rest of the girls managed to close their mouths a little. And no one did move an inch like a statue.
Yui then leans at Akaza. "Akaza-chan?"
"Hai?" Akaza asked while staring blankly forward.
"Does Miraku-run, the Witch Girl, can make a portal like that?"
Akaza stays silent for a moment before replying. "I have no idea."
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
They land on the snowy ground, and Yuri stumbled down due to how slippery the snow is. They did a check to their surroundings and are surprised by the location they're in. They notice large ice cliffs on their left and right. And they also spot some muck left a bit far from the men, thankfully they couldn't smell it. And lastly, they noticed a large creature from a safe distance.
Ever seen a white gorilla but with four big arms? Yep, that's what they are looking at with also the fact that that it is twice the size of a man.
Price can't help but blink at that. "What the bloody hell kind of world is this?"
Nikolai can't help but wonder. "Is that an advanced King Kong?"
"More like a mutated gorilla, Nikolai," Yuri responded.
"Hey, you!"
The three men quickly turned around and found a man in his military-like attire pointing a Hyperion-marked rifle at them. "Who the hell are you?"
The man with the Hyperion rifle then looked over to the men's attire. "You don't look like any bounty hunters, vault hunters, or even Hyperion soldiers I've ever met before."
"We're soldiers, mate," Price replied. "Task Force 141."
He eventually lowers his Hyperion rifle in surprise. "TF 141? Never heard of that."
"Anyway," Price quickly changes the subject. "We're not on Earth, are we?"
"Did you just come here blind like a headless chicken?" the man joked with a grin. "Of course, it's not! Welcome to Planet Pandora!"
The three operators deadpanned at him, much to their discomfort. "Such a grim name for a planet."
"Oh, you said you were soldiers, right?" the man asked them. "I'm Sergeant Axton. Ex-soldier of Dahl Military forces."
"Ex-soldier?" Yuri asked, with his eyes narrowed.
"Yeah," Axton replied with a nod. "Got kicked out because of my personal glory and massive insubordination."
Price just chuckled to hear that. "I'm Price. This is Yuri and Nikolai."
"Glad for the introduction," Axton then rests his rifle on his shoulder. "So, what are you doing out here with Bullymongs all over the place?"
"Bullymongs?" Nikolai asked in confusion.
"Those big gorillas with four arms over there," Axton points at the said Bullymong in the distance. "We call those Bullymongs."
"I see," Price replied with a nod. "As to why we are here, it's because we're traveling around the universe."
"Oh," Axton surprised a bit. "So that the portal was all about?"
The operators deadpanned at him. "Wait, you saw that?" Yuri asked.
"Of course, I did!" Axton replied with a nod. "I nearly thought that Handsome Jack is sending some jackasses to me so they can bite my ass off. Good thing that didn't happen."
"Sounds like you're in much trouble," Nikolai commented with a smug smile.
"Hah, that's the usual stuff around here," Axton waved at them, before holding his rifle with both hands. "If you don't mind, I'll be hunting for those Bullymongs for now. Why don't you go do your thing about that portal."
"With pleasure," Price replied with a nod as Yuri called Wallcroft in. "It's very nice to meet you."
"Hahaha, the pleasure is mine as well, Price," Axton replied with a smile. "Hope we can meet again."
"That's a probability, I'm afraid."
"Heh, If you say so."
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
As Axton leaves the premises, the 141 operators began to enter the portal once more. Once the portal disappears, Axton looks back at where the portal was. He then chuckles to himself before he began making his way over to the Bullymongs. It was time to play his game.
He shoots the rifle in the air, which distracts all the Bullymongs within his radius. "Come and get me, you ugly bastards!"
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
The transition from cold weather to extremely hot weather is very not nice. But thankfully, the men are used to the hot weather. Price can't tell if they are really in the desert or back in Afghanistan again. When they looked around, they went stoned-face immediately.
They're looking at two particular muscular men. One of them has been beaten and had his head locked on the ground the other man's foot. The man who is in submission has a purple-blackish hair with a tongue like a snake, while the man who puts him in submission has a dense black hair that almost looked like a character from dragon ball.
Nikolai somehow recognized him. "Wait, is that Joseph Joestar?"
Price and Yuri gaze at him immediately. "You know him?" Price asked him.
"There's a show about Joseph Joestar back in our place. It's my favorite show."
The men facepalmed.
"Since when you start to like Japanese cartoons?" Yuri asked.
"Since Miho came over to London."
Yuri and Price stared at him for a moment, as both Jojo and Donovan are staring curiously at them. "What is wrong with you, man?" Yuri asked.
Price was about to say something, but Jojo beats him. "Your next line is, shut your trap, mate."
"Shut your trap, mate-" Price quickly halts, then looked at Jojo. "Wait, how the bloody hell do you know I was going to say that?"
"It's easy!" Jojo replied happily, ignoring the man he's currently holding with his foot. "I know what's your next line is!"
"OOOOooooohhh!" Nikolai excited as if he was high. "He's using that again!"
While Yuri fascinated by Jojo's skill, he's a bit irritated by Nikolai's reaction. "Grow up, Nikolai."
Price was about to say again, but Jojo beats him again. "You're going to say; Wrong universe. Get Wallcroft on the line."
Price was pretty much frightened of his answer; he quickly looked at him. "Cheeky bastard. That was my bloody line!"
Jojo manly laughed in pride. "I am very sorry. I just can't help with that, Captain Price."
Price widens his eyes at him; he then crosses his arms. "How the bloody hell you know me?"
"It's simple," Jojo shrugs with a smile. "It's my skill."
"Haha!" Nikolai then points at Jojo. "That's why I love this man!"
"Unbelievable," Yuri then proceeds to get Wallcroft on the line. "Wallcroft, not this universe. Get the portal on the line."
"Wallcroft's next line is," Jojo stated. "Damn wanker. Give me a moment. It's almost tea time."
Then Wallcroft responds on the radio. "Damn wanker. Give me a moment. It's almost tea time."
Yuri is surprised by the exact line Wallcroft would say; he then looks over to Jojo. "Seriously?"
"Okay, you guys can go now," Jojo replied as he waved at them. "I want to have a little talk with Mr. Donovan here."
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
Once the portal appeared, Price says to him. "Well, it's 'nice' to meet you, Mr. Joseph. Have a good day."
"Have a good day as well, Captain Price," Jojo responded with an open palm.
Once the men entered the portal, and it disappeared. Jojo then looks back down on Donovan, who still has his head planted on the ground by his foot.
"With that out of the way. Now, start talking, Donovan! You're going to tell me everything!"
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
They ended up on a snowy mountain, but they're pretty sure it is not Caucasus Mountain. And not only that, the day is very dark but the moonlight gives them visibility to their surroundings. Not even a split second, they heard a lot of weapons cocked behind them. They turned around and found that there's a squad consisting of two women, six men, and one child soldier. There's another woman, looks like a commander, she's wounded and kneeling on the ground.
However, they are pretty much annoyed about having people aiming their weapons at them.
Nikolai sighs as he carelessly waves his arms wide. "Tvoyu Mat. How many times do we have to be gun-pointed by someone else?!"
Price looks at him with a sigh. "You tell me about that."
"Who are you?!" the dual-wielding handgun woman, Valmet, who lost her right eye, asked.
"Just soldiers," Price replied with a shrug. "Don't mind us."
"Don't mind you?" Lehm laughed as he steadies his aim at them. "I don't think so. It looks like we miss some of them."
Yuri winced his eyebrows to him. "Wait, who's them?"
"You're one of Karen's forces, aren't you?" Lutz asked as he cocked his marksman rifle. "Don't play dumb."
The 141 operators narrowed their eyes confusion. "Who's Karen?" Price was clueless about that.
The reactions the men gave surprised the squad immediately. Karen stayed silent while injured because she doesn't know who are they. But the child soldier lowered his rifle down.
"Jonah, why are you lowering your gun?" The black man, Wiley, asked.
"They're not a threat."
The squad deadpanned at Jonah. "Are you certain of that?" the white-haired woman, Koko, asked.
"I'm sure."
The squad involuntarily lower their guns down, which gave the 141 operators a gist of relief.
But then Nikolai recognized the white-haired woman. "Wait, are you Koko Hekmatyar?"
Price and Yuri both stare at him in mild annoyance while Koko surprised by his question. "Didn't think I'll be that popular."
"Oh, you're popular," Nikolai was referring to the anime show. "But, of course, I don't really like you."
As Yuri began calling in the portal, Koko's squad is surprised by his statement. "Are you mocking Ms. Koko Hekmatyar?!" Valmet asked furiously.
"Mostly because of her tendencies to turn from Koko to Loco, no offense," Nikolai admitted, Price facepalmed as Yuri continue calling in the portal. "And no, I don't want to fight with you or shoot you because I know you're going kill me with a knife no matter what, Valmet."
Before Valmet managed to ask how he knew her name, Nikolai turned his attention to Jonah. "Ey Patsan! Jonah! I like you more than the boys with you!"
"EH!?" all the men in Koko's squad responded in shock. "The hell are you talking about?!" Lutz asked.
"Oh, and by the way, Koko Hekmatyar!" Nikolai's antics were enough to make Price to walk over to Yuri. "Good luck with your project on Jormungand! I'm sure Jonah won't like it!"
The squad stared at him in shock, especially Koko Hekmatyar herself. "Wha-how did you-?"
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
Koko's squad stood in shock to see the portal behind them, and even Karen leans her head back while injured. Nikolai only points his arm at the portal while Price and Yuri wait for him to get along.
"Ah, there it is," Nikolai said happily. "Sorry we have to go now. See you later, comrades."
The men then immediately enter the portal before it disappeared. The squad was in amazement of what they just heard. Karen had wondered about what Nikolai was talking about. Koko can't leave the surprise from her face to know Nikolai knew about that. Jonah, on the other hand, his face was a bit shadowed. They are ignoring the fact that they saw the operators jumped through the portal.
"Koko…"
Koko then looks at him. "Yes?"
"What he said about Jormungand…" Jonah paused for a moment. "Is it true that I won't like it?"
Koko can only stare at him as Karen curiously watch. How did Nikolai know about that?
"Oh, boy…"
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
They teleported into a city, to be exact, New York City. Oddly, the city is currently not suffering an attack from the Third World War. But… the city is currently suffering an alien attack all around them. And they could see one particular person in a blue suit are neutralizing the aliens with his shield.
The three men recognized who he is. "Captain America?"
The men nearly get themselves shot from an alien from their left; if not for Captain America throws a shield at the alien. The shield then bounced back to its owner before he comes over to the three men. Captain America looked up and down to their attires before asking.
"I thought the National Guard was too late for the fight," Captain America, or Steve, commented.
"No, no, we're not the National Guard," Price shook his head along with his open palms. "We were just passing by."
Captain America deadpanned at him with his head tilted. "What do you mean you were passing by?"
"Well, you see," Yuri explained. "We are currently traveling around the universe. We got here because we are using the portal we have."
Steve Rogers just hummed. "Sounds fishy."
"We're trying to reach for our friend in another universe, if you were asking," Nikolai replied with a shrug. "Because we're trying to contain a dimensional-level terrorist threat."
Captain America winced at him. "You're saying that the terrorists have their own portal?"
"Yes, correct," Price replied as Yuri calls in the portal. "That's why we're traveling around the universe. Well, mostly because we lost half of the coordinates to get to the exact universe."
"By the way," Nikolai points behind Steve. "Behind you."
Steve swirled and threw his shield behind him, quickly neutralized an alien that was about to shoot at them before it bounced back to Steve. "Thanks for the warning."
"No problem, comrade," Nikolai replied happily with a thumbs up.
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
"Ah," Steve points at the portal behind the men. "That's your ticket?"
"Yes, it is," Price looks around for a moment before looking back at Steve. "We apologize for intruding your… fight with the aliens."
"No sweat," Steve replied with an open palm. "I wish you good luck to stop the terrorist."
"Oh, and Captain America," Nikolai paused for a moment. "You have our blessings."
"Thanks," Steve replied with a nod and a smile before the men leave through the portal and it quickly disappears.
It was nice for Captain America to meet those soldiers, makes him temporarily forget about Loki. But when he turns around, he just met with a battalion of the aliens aiming at him. He just sighed and shook his head in a tilt to show his annoyance.
"Great. Where is Dr. Banner when I need him?"
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
Not even in a moment's notice, they ended up in an alley of the city. Price, Nikolai and Yuri looked over to his surroundings and found themselves in between buildings and floors that look historical. And somehow, Price recognized the buildings and their surroundings as an area in Italy back in the 1400s. And the day was dark. By the time they turn around, they met with a couple of Borgia guards.
"Ehi, fermati proprio qui!" one of the guards aggressively responded.
"Nessuno esce di casa durante il coprifuoco!" the other guard aggressively added as they walked over to the men with their swords out. "Verrai con noi!"
Before the operators raised their weapons, however, both of the guards killed by air assassination of an assassin in a white hoody coat, it seems the man in white killed both of the guards with his hidden blades. The man stood up from the dead guards as the operators lower their rifles but have their fingers near the triggers.
"Who are you?" Price asked their savior.
"A concerned citizen," the assassin responded.
Nikolai somehow recognized his voice. "Wait, are you Ezio Auditore?"
The said assassin is taken off-guard of his question, even Price and Yuri stared at him. "You know him?"
"Da," Nikolai nodded. "There's an action game about him."
Now Ezio is confused about what he said. "Di cosa stai parlando? What do you mean there's a game about me?"
"I'm afraid you won't understand, signore," Nikolai replied in his fake Italian accent. "Let's just leave it that way."
"I see," Ezio replied in such a suspicious tone.
"Mind telling us where we are right now?" Price asked him.
"You are in Firenze, mio amico," Ezio replied flatly.
"Florence?" Yuri asked. "Wait, this year is not 1960, right?"
Ezio stares at him in confusion. "Yes, it's not 1960. It's 147-"
"Wrong universe, call it in," Nikolai cuts off, much to Ezio's confusion.
"Wrong universe?" Ezio asked. "Are you talking some fantasy or something?"
"Talking scientifically, to be exact," Price responded. "You're not technologically advanced enough to understand."
"Not technologically advanced?" Ezio starts to wonder if this had anything to do with the Templars.
"The Templars don't know about this if you're asking," Nikolai responded, which makes Ezio caught off-guard.
"How did you-"
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
Whatever he was about to ask was cut off by a sudden bright portal behind the operators. Which makes Ezio opened his mouth a little and deadpanned at the portal from under his hood. He was amazed by these operators. The men only stared him back.
"I'm afraid we don't have much time to answer your questions," Yuri replied to him. "We have someplace to go."
"So, do svidaniya, mio amico," Nikolai said before they proceed to enter the portal.
The portal then quickly disappears. Ezio is the only person standing there in between the two guards he killed. He's currently contemplating what just happened, and how did that Russian know about the Templars. Ezio only puts his index finger on his chin.
"That was… an interesting encounter. I should ask Signore Da Vinci about this."
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
The three men once again teleported into a very small house. They are in the main room that contains two tables, one fridge, a cabinet, and a TV above the table. The floor is nice, clean, and white, while the walls are colored in yellow. And…
Huh, why I recognized that room?
And why did I hear a loud buzzing sound outside of my room?
…
...
…
…
…
Wait a minute…
*Cklak-kreek*
…
…
…
You have got to be kidding me.
…
…
THEY ARE INSIDE MY BLOODY HOUSE!
"Buset! Kok kalian disini?!" I said in my Indonesian language to the men.
"Uuh… what?" Yuri asked me who is confused with my language.
"Eh, Chit," a friend of mine, let's call him Raz, came out of the bathroom. "Kenapa kamu teri-?"
Once my friend stares at the men in front of us, he can't cease his amazement. "Anjing, itu Captain Pricekah?!"
"Ya, itu Captain Price, Nikolai sama Yuri," I then turned to talk to them with such a fake smile. "The bloody hell you're doing in my house?"
The men were about to reply, but I cut them off. "Nevermind, it's the portal that was messed up. Go ahead and call Wallcroft."
The men looked at me in surprise. "How did you know about that?" Price asked me.
Raz just looked at me for a moment, before looking back at them. "It's simple. You broke the 4th wall."
The three operators only take their time to stare at us in confusion. But I noticed Nikolai had realized something.
"Wait, don't tell me you are the author of our story."
"Uuh…" Raz points his thumb at me. "He's the author, not me."
Price and Yuri just deadpanned at me. "Impossible."
"I know," I responded with a nod. "Welcome to the other side of the 4th wall. Now, if you don't mind, why don't you go to Miho's universe and finish your job, hmm?"
"Ah, of course," Price awkwardly replied with a nod. "Yuri?"
"Okay," Yuri then radioed Wallcroft. "Wallcroft, still not this one."
"I hope this time it's the right one," Wallcroft commented. "Standby."
*WWHIIIIIIIIRRRRR-BWWWUUUUUSSSSSH*
I won't be much surprised to see a portal behind them because I intended that to happen. You know, it's fun to see Raz's eyes poking out at the portal with his jaw dropped to the ground. Something that he would call such thing as 'sorcery' thanks to his knowledge of 'conservative witchcraft.' The operators look back at us again, awkwardly.
"We apologize for intruding your nice house," Price apologized. "We'll be leaving now."
"That's alright, Captain," I replied to them. "Have a good day."
The men nodded at me with their awkward smiles before stepping through the portal. Once the portal disappeared, I heard Raz groans in disappointment.
"Kenapa, Raz?" I asked him.
"Kenapa kita gak minta mereka inap disini?" Raz asked me in such complain.
"Hey, they've been busy with my story," I replied in disagreement. "Nanti saya yang buat cerita jadi rusak, mengerti?"
"Yah… bener juga sih," Raz replied as he scratched his head. "Aku mau makan dulu ya."
"Ok," I replied with a nod. "Saya akan ada di kamar."
Then I returned to my room and continue to write my story again.
Hang on.
How the hell my laptop typed this part without me?!
"So… that's how we got here just fine."
Everyone in the briefing room, especially those who are Japanese, are at a loss of words. They didn't think that there is more kind of universes they haven't met yet. But, from how Price told them, the universes they were in are sometimes bizarre, normal, and breaking the timeline of history. Miho and her lover, Anchovy, never been so silent for so long that they look like they want to get seasick to what they just heard. The men of 141 and the rest of the girls and mothers in the room, only stare blankly at Price, Yuri and Nikolai.
Miho clears up on how Price's story goes.
"So let me get this straight. You nearly provoked Team RWBY, breathed underwater, nearly get attacked by zombies twice, nearly scared a group of junior high school students because they thought you were pedophiles, you ended up on Planet Pandora, you met with the infamous Joseph Joestar, Nikolai messed up Koko's squads' minds, talked with Captain America in the middle of Battle of New York, talked with Ezio Auditore in 1470s, and finally, you met with the author of our story yourself before you could reach our world?"
"Umm…" Nikolai glances at Yuri, who adds. "There were a bit more. But yes, that's the summary for all of it."
"So…" Price awkwardly began. "What do you think?"
Miho raised her eyebrows as she sighed. She then raised four fingers to him. "Four words for you."
"What the fuck, mate?"
