Out of time and place

Spike nodded and made some sounds, "We will be glad to help, Spike too." Ducky said patting Spike with one hand.

"Me hope you have no trouble." Petrie said, hoping he didn't meet anything scary or have any sort of trouble or meet with danger.

"Got it!" Frank said tying part of the rope to himself before handing it off to cleve.

Cleve looped the rope around his waist one time before handing the rest of the rope to James and Dan. Cleve and Frank were about the same height and same size, and factoring in the fact that Dan, James, and the dinosaurs would soon be all clinging onto the rope, Frank should be alright... as long as the rope doesn't snap.

"Alright, be careful now," Cleve advised Frank, "if you feel any danger, pull the rope twice. Also..." Cleve took his Colt M1911 out of his holster and gave it to Cleve. "I have no use for this," Cleve continued, looking at the gun, "so if you run out of ammo, use it as a backup. Bring back anything that might be helpful. Good luck!"

"Got it!" Frank said taking the colt. Frank stared at the portal and counted down "three two one now!" Frank said before leaping into the portal.

Cleve held his breath. He picked up the loose rope in front of him and stretched it taunt. This way, Frank could still move forward and send the danger signal. Cleve could feel the Frank moving forward, and Cleve could only imagine what dangers Frank was facing.

Frank came out of the portal and saw that he was between two trenches. Frank dived for the ground and crawled around on his stomach picking up a rifle, bayonet, and a fifty rounds of ammo.

Meanwhile, in the cave, Cleve was the first one to feel Frank's panic. He felt the rope jolt forward and then downward.

"I think he might be in trouble," Cleve yelled, "Should we go in to help him?"

Frank picked up a few more rifles slinging them across his back and putting the ammo in a bag he had come across.

From Frank's constant running, the rope was being pulled forward at an unprecedented pace. Cleve knew that it would be only moments before he'd run out of rope. Still, Frank has sent no danger signal. Perhaps he was too occupied with some extremely dangerous situation.

Cleve pulled the rope and shouted. "Frank, Frank, you're out of rope! Come back!" he shouted. But it was too late. His voice could not penetrate the portal. Frank ran out of rope. The rope stretched taunt in front of him, and the sudden force sucked Cleve into the portal.

Frank began to make his way back to the portal after taking a few gasmasks when he thought he saw someone in the distance.

It all began with the interception of the Russian interception of a German mine-laying naval task force on July 2, 1915. The German Empire, wanting to block Russian shipping lines, sent a force of four cruisers and seven torpedo boats to lay mines off the Aland Islands near neutral Sweden.

The Russian interception force, under Rear Admiral Bakhirey, was composed of only four cruisers, Admiral Makaroff, Bayan, Oleg, and Bogatyr. The Germans held the advantage.

After falling into the portal, Cleve found himself facedown on the forward deck of the Bayan. Just when he was about to get up, he was almost knocked down again by the sound of the eight-inch gun firing behind him.

Where is this place? Cleve thought to himself. Can I every get back?

Frank continued toward the portal still crawling on his stomach.

Cleve looked at his waist. To his horror, the rope that was wrapped around him was gone. There was not a single person on the forward deck, but he did see people on the bridge. At first, Cleve thought that he was on the Clemson-class destroyer. Cleve's ship, like Clemson-class destroyers, had four smokestacks, but Cleve soon realized that the gun placements were not right. He looked at a lifebuoy next to him. It was in Russian. Cleve knew only a little Russian, but he could make out the word "Баян."

Frank saw that the person ahead was soldier of Imperial Germany. Frank set down four of the rifles and all but one of the gas masks. Frank crawled up to him and saw that he was dead. Frank started to make his was to the german trench line.

Deimos and James pulled back on the rope as soon as Cleve fell through the portal but to their horror, all that was present was the end of the rope with a knot.

"Cleve! Frank! Where are you!" James shouted. He then tied the rope around his waist. "Deimos, I'm going in!"

"James! No! We don't want to lose you too!" Deimos shouted. He blocked off the portal to prevent James doing something rash.

Frank stopped and realised he had to get back to james and the others and crawled back to where he had left the extra gear but as he got to where he had put it in a hole he heard several someone blow a whistle a few times and saw on the western trench several hundred men climb from the trench and run toward frank's direction shouting in french. Frank played dead as they ran past him.

"Where did he go? I hope he is ok, I do, I do." Ducky said.

"he not in same place other guy go?" Petrie asked.

Frank heard the people who had ran past he cry out as well as the rattle of machine gun fire. The survivors ran past frank as he heard the Germans do the same thing get out of their trench shout out and run toward the French trench only to be cut down by machine gun fire and the survivors retreat back toward their trench. Frank retrievedthe gear he had gathered and crawled back in the direction of the portal.

Meanwhile, on the Bayan, Cleve was just realizing the danger of his situation. From the size and guns of the ship, Cleve guessed that it was a Russian WWI-era light cruiser. From behind him came the thunder of the forward eight-inch guns, and from in front of him came flying shells fired by some German cruiser in the distance. Cleve easiliy identified the nationality of the enemy cruiser from the flags, but he could not identify the class of the German cruiser.

The German cruiser was firing a full broadside against the Bayan. However, the accuracy was terrible due to the long range. The Bayan turned to fire a broadside against the German cruiser. Neither side seemed to be making any progress. Despite the sheer amount of shells being exchanged, the long range ruined all hopes of good accuracy.

Frank continued toward the general area of the portal as a shot rang out frank froze and looked toward the area of the shot and noticed that a German sniper was firing at him. Frank looked down the sights of the Gewehr 98 he had in his hands and noticed that his father was firing on him. Not wanting to kill his own father not knowing what year it was but guessing that it was 1915 since he was in the Verdun area.
