Out of time and place

The smell of gunpowder and saltwater filled Cleve's nostrils. The Bayan and the German cruiser continued firing broadsides at each other. The German gunners had plenty of time to determine the range to the Bayan and test their aim. Some of the shells were flying uncomfortably close, hitting the water just yards off of the bow and creating huge splashes that drenched the Bayan. The Bayan replied back with her own fearsome barrage. Sooner or later, someone was going to hit.

Cleve roamed around the ship, trying to find the portal back. What have I gotten myself into? he thought to himself I should have never let Frank go in there. Now I'm stuck in some WWI battle that I know nothing about. He found nothing.

"How we get them back?" Petrie asked in a worried voice.

"I do not know, no I do not." Ducky asked, also worried. Spike looked sadly into the light where they had gone.

Frank kept crawling on his stomach remembering stories his father used to tell of what WW1 was like, the trench warfare, seeing buddies die almost everyday. Frank then remembered what it was like for him when he battled on the ground after getting shot down during Operation Market Garden.

James was sweating profusely. "I... I don't know what we can do?" he said.

Deimos kicked a stone in frustration. "I guess all we can do is wait for them," he said.

Frank kepted crawling on his stomach when an artillery shell landed close by him lifting frank off the ground and slamming him back down against it. Frank saw the portal opening just a few feet in front of him. Frank weighed down by the ammo rifles and gasmasks took a chance and stood up and ran for the portal as fast as he could. A French sniper choose at that to stand up and aim at frank and fired just as frank reached the portal. Frank felt something hit the back of his right leg as he ran through the portal rejoinging james and the others comepletly covered in mud. As soon as frank saw he was back he collapsed clutching his right leg with the rifle in his hands falling just a few feet in front of him.

"Frank! You're alive!" Deimos exclaimed. He then noticed that he was covered in mud. "What happened to you?"

James noticed that Frank had been shot. "Ducky, Petrie, Dan, Frank's hurt! We'll need to clean his wound and bandage it up!" he ordered. He then opened a canteen of drinking water and used it to wash the mud away from the gunshot wound.

"I was in the Battle of Verdun during WWI I saw my father he almost shot me, I found a few rifles and gas masks and took close to 60 rounds," Frank said.

"oh no, he has been hurted. What can we do?" Ducky asked. Her hands going to her face in her surprise and shock.

"I'll be alright it's just a scratch," Frank said in a reasureing voice. Frank looked around, "where's Cleve?" he asked.

Serris · **Reply #789 on:** January 28, 2011, 12:54:02 PM

"I don't understand what you're talking about but it sounds like you're lucky to be alive," Deimos said.

"Cleve got pulled through the portal," James said, as he finished bandaging Frank's leg wound.

Frank grabbed the rifle in front of him using the rifle to prop himself up while setting the other one down. Frank opened the chamber and stuck a clip inside and closed it with the bolt quickly snapping the strip of metal that held the five rounds. "I'm going back to see if I can find cleve," Frank said.

"I hope you can, I do, I do." Ducky said with concern in her voice.

"Me hope him ok." Petrie said.

Meanwhile, on the Bayan, Cleve's situation was getting desperate. Shells were flying everywhere now, and some were beginning to hit the hull of the ship. Most failed to penetrate the thick armor of the ship, but Cleve knew that catastrophic damage would occur if one hit the superstructure. So far, Cleve has only ran into about five crewmen. All of them ignored him, and Cleve knew too little Russian for communication. Everyone was too focused on the battle.

Cleve walked up and down the stairs, trying to find a portal. Cleve got to the dinosaur world in a mysterious fog in a secret experiment, but clearly, there was no experiment going on. Shaw, on the other hand, arrived in the dinosaur world after his ship was bombed. Maybe a shell hit will open a portal, he thought.

Frank jumped back through the portal and ended up on a ship looking around Frank saw that he was on a WWI cruiser. frank cursed in german then heard some someone shouting in German.

Serris · **Reply #794 on:** January 29, 2011, 03:02:02 PM

"Good luck," Deimos said.

James nodded. His heart was racing and he hoped that both Frank and Cleve would be okay.

Frank was approached by a sailor who pointed a gun at him. "Who are you?,' he demanded. frank saw the portal open again" I'm Imperial army Intelligence," Frank said before diving for the portal.

(OCC: It's supposed to be a Russian Bayan-class armored cruiser. But Cleve doesn't know that. Also, if Frank is on the cruiser Cleve is fighting, Frank would be on the SMS Roon)

Ruby tried to comfort Chomper in the cave. It had been a while since Frank and Cleve disappeared into the portal, and the tension inside the cave was steadily rising. They both hoped for the best but prepared for the worst.

Meanwhile, Cleve was standing on the poop deck of the Bayan, still looking for anything that resembled a portal. He knew that his chances of finding the portal was low now. The battle still raged on around him. An eight-inch shell fired from one of the stern guns hit the enemy German cruiser on the belt but failed to penetrate. In return, the enemy German cruiser unleashed a fearsome broadside at the Bayan. Cleve did not notice an enemy shell flying directly at him.

A 8.2-inch shell fired from the forward gun of the enemy German cruiser hit the poop deck of the Bayan. The 30mm deck armor on the Bayan was not nearly as strong as her 200mm belt armor. The enemy shell penetrated the thin deck and exploded. Fortunately, Cleve instinctively took cover when the shell hit the deck and was not caught in the explosion.

When Cleve finally got up he felt a dull pain in his arm. A wood splinter about three inches long struck him in his left forearm. Blood was slowly seeping through his brown uniform. Men rushed to the poop deck. Most were trying to put out the fire that resulted from the shell hit. A few went to help Cleve and asked him questions in Russian. Cleve could not understand them.

Suddenly, a bright flash of light appeared. Cleve shielded his arms with his uninjured right arm. When the light died down, Cleve founded himself sitting on the cold hard floor of a familiar cave.

"Cleve, you're back!" Chomper exclaimed with joy.

Kor · **Reply #797 on:** January 29, 2011, 11:55:57 PM

"Yay, you are back." Ducky said cheerfully waving her arms up happily.

"Me glad to see you back." Petrie said as he flew over closer to where Cleve was.

Frank reappeared almost ramming into cleve. "where were you?," Frank asked.

Dima02 · **Reply #799 on:** January 30, 2011, 02:50:21 AM

Cleve was still feeling dazed from the trip.

"Ah, Frank," Cleve groaned, "I had a terrible time. I was caught in some WWI Naval duel and received this big gash on my arm." Cleve lifted up this left arm. "I'm still bleeding, but it's getting better. I couldn't find anything useful. Did you find anything interesting, Frank? And what happened to your leg?" Cleve pointed towards the bandage on Frank's leg.
