September 1st, 1939... I never thought I would write that down as a label in my personal journal. I have traveled through time and space. The world I'm currently in is now in a state of war. Unlike my world, this one is fighting against an alien race called the Neuroi. The Neuroi have been fighting humanity for a long time and have taken different forms. From I heard of them from Kurt Flachfeld and Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke this the third time the Neuroi have shown up in this decade. They appeared in a nation called Hispania in 1936 and a second time in Asia in 1937. The world itself is almost the same as mine except for a few things. First being that the borders are that of pre-World War I Europe. Second is that the countries have different names. Third is the shape of some of the countries and a continent. North America is pretty much in the shape of a four-pointed star and the land between Canada and Alaska is now a thin line while the nation where Mexico is is now thicker and goes up slightly in the United States. There is also an island called South Sea Island that's south of Japan. So after having a discussion with the two Germans/Karlslanders, I was told by Kurt that he would let me stay for a few days before he and Minna bring me to recruiting office. Apparently I'm not the only person from my world who is here. There are others who fought in Hispania and what's called the FusÅ Sea Incident who are from my world. Reason how I know is because they appeared from a purple portal and they were wearing a gas mask, helmet, long trench coat, necklace, gloves, and boots. Their outfit is all black except for the necklaces which are gold. There are numbers on their helmets. I am wearing the exact same thing. Unfortunately, I can't take off the mask. I can only peel the mouth area slightly off but that's it. It's gonna be difficult to wash myself when I'm wearing a mask that doesn't come off. I am gonna be in this world for who knows how long. With my knowledge of WWII, I hope I can make a difference here that'll help humanity win once I'm enlisted. Almost forgot, I have new name now in this world. It is John W. Smith. Speaking of names, Minna's is very close to my original's namesake, Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke, a WWII German fighter ace with 162 victories.

A kid is standing on the wooden deck of a battleship. He smiles as he looks around. He walks by and looks at the two big steel barrels of the gun turret. He walks away from the turret and brings out a notebook & pencil from his bag. He flips through some pages and stops at an empty one. He starts drawing the turret on his book.
"Hey Kaneyoshi. Are you having fun?"
Kaneyoshi stops drawing and looks to his right. He sees a young man wearing a light blue jacket, navy blue shirt, black pants, and shoes. He has short black hair and brown eyes.
"Yes, big brother." Kaneyoshi smiles and goes back to drawing.
"This ship is special. Did you know that?"
Kaneyoshi shakes his head.
"Thought so. I'll give you a little history lesson after we're done here."
"Okay."
Once he's done drawing, he puts the book away in his bag and walks to aft railings of the ship.
He looks to the hospital nearby and slightly frowns.
"Is Mother going to be okay?"
"She will. We'll see her in later."
Kaneyoshi looks at his brother and back to the hospital.
He sees his brother pull out his flip phone and opens it. He checks the time, closes the phone and puts it away.
"Are you hungry?" Just after he said that, Kaneyoshi's stomach growled and he looked down.
The brother laughed. "Where do you want to go?"
Kaneyoshi looked up at the sky for a bit and then looked at his brother. "McDonald's."
His brother smiles. "Okay then."
The two leave the ship and start walking towards their destination.
"Did you like the Mikasa battleship?"
Kaneyoshi nods.
"That's good."
The two brothers reach the restaurant and get their food. After they're done eating, they leave and walk towards the hospital.
Once they reach the entrance, the whole entire area starts shaking violently. The two, along with other people who were walking around, drop to the ground. Kaneyoshi's older brother holds him close.
"Hold on!"
After several seconds, the shaking stopped.
Everyone looks around, got up, and looks around again.
"What just happened?"
"Was that an earthquake?"
Kaneyoshi looks at the other citizens and then to his brother. "What just happened?"
His brother looks at him. "An earthquake. Are you okay?"
Kaneyoshi nods. "I am."
"That's good."
They looked around and were about to walk to the hospital doors when someone said, "What is that?"
The two look to the person on their left and see him pointing at something in front of him. They turn around and see a purple portal.
Kaneyoshi looks at the portal and slowly becomes entranced. He lets go of his brother and starts walking towards the portal.
"What are you doing?"
The brother goes to grab Kaneyoshi but he moves out of the way. The brother sighs. "Stop fooling around."
He walks towards the younger brother and was about to grab him before he was pushed away.
"What?"
The purple portal is making sparks appear on it. The brother runs to Kaneyoshi and the portal pulses, releasing a wave of air that pushes back the older brother. "Kaneyoshi!"
The people nearby are unsettled by what's going on. They go to try stopping Kaneyoshi from going into the portal but get pushed back.
Kaneyoshi walks into the portal and it closes.
The older brother closes his eyes.
"Kaneyoshi... What am I going to say to Mother and Father..."
What most people didn't know is that a person was recording the whole thing on their phone.

Location: Berlin, Germany, Europe
A person walks down a sidewalk. He looks up at the building he's closing in on.
He enters the building and greets the woman behind the desk. The person walks down a hallway and walks up some stairs. Once he reaches the second floor, he walks through the hall and stops at a door with the number 209. He knocks on the door. "Fredrick, open up."
The door opens and the person walks in. He looks at the single bed and then at the flat TV hanging from a wall. He looks to Fredrick who is making some coffee. He has short black hair & blue eyes and is wearing a black shirt and jeans. "Do you always drink coffee at this time?"
"Yes. It's always good. How is your family doing, Manfred?"
"They're doing good. How long are you staying here?"
"8 days. After that, I'm going back to Munich. You?"
"11 days. We'll be returning to Weissach after."
"Okay then. We got enough time hang out and be with our families."
"Oh yeah... I kinda forgot you're here to visit your grandparents."
"So what do you want to do?"
Manfred sits and lays down on the bed. He looks at the ceiling. "I was thinking about visiting the Berlin Zoological Garden."
"Not much of a planner, are you?"
"Nope."
"We'll figure out what to do next. Now here. Have some coffee."
Manfred takes the offered cup and takes a sip. "Pretty good."
Fredrick chuckles. "I know."
"So, how is your project doing?"
"Good so far."
The two leave the hotel and walk to the zoo. Once there, they pay for the entrance fee. "So which animal do you want to see first?"
Manfred gives a thought and smiles a little. "Let's check out the lion."
"Alright then."
The two walk around the zoo and see some other animals. When they arrive at the lion area, they watch the big cat lay down.
"Tired huh? Well there ain't much to do in a zoo when you're an animal."
Fredrick sighs. "Maybe, but-"
The ground starts shaking. People get down and the animals freak out.
The two look around once they fell to the ground. Fredrick looks to Manfred. "You okay?"
"Never better."
Some seconds later, the shaking stops and the animals slowly start to calm down.
"Mommy, what happened?"
"Don't worry, little one."
"An earthquake?"
Everyone slowly got up and looked around.
"Mommy, look at that!"
The people near Manfred and Fredrick look to the girl and the direction she is pointing at and see a purple portal.
"What on earth..."
Come... Your help is needed...It is your destiny...
Manfred looks around. He looks at the portal. "Was I hearing things?"
"What are you talking about?"
Manfred stares deeply at the portal and becomes entranced. He starts walking to it. "Manfred, what are you doing?"
Fredrick's question fell upon deaf ears. "This isn't funny."
"Stop!" Fredrick turns and sees a zookeeper run to the both of them. "Don't let him enter that thing!"
Fredrick goes to grab Manfred but is pushed back. The zookeeper also tries to stop Manfred but the latter moves out of the way. A few people try to stop him but he keeps on dodging them. Fredrick runs and jumps. "Stop, Manfred!"
Manfred enters the portal and it closes. Fredrick lands on the ground.
The zookeeper looks down. "Great... Another one has entered a portal..."
"What do you mean?"
"Haven't you heard? A lot of teenagers are reported missing in the past 3 years. An earthquake would happen, a purple portal appears and takes away a kid..."
"Wonder what's gonna happen to him now..."
Fredrick gets up. "I'm gonna have to explain this to his family..."
