Gate: War Of Two Worlds

It would take nearly an hour for everyone to get away from the village. There are hundreds of wagons traveling in single file in this makeshift single lane dirt road. The Vanguard team will be escorting the caravan.

"God dammit... I f.u.c.k.i.n.g hat this. I left California to get away from the traffic..." Staff Sergeant Steele will say, frustrated in how slow everyone is going.

"Hey, watch the language! We have a young guest remember." Alicia will say from the back.

The girl that both of them help saved from those four men, they must be some kind of slave traders. Sharpe took her in the back to the JLTV to keep her safe during this situation. Sharpe asks Alicia to find something for her to wear, so she wasn't basically n.a.k.e.d anymore. They didn't have much, only extra military cloths they had, all which were too big for her. Anything is better than the rags she was wearing.

Major Sharpe will shake his head. "Be nice both of you. Also, we should be there by night fall, they did say the next village wasn't too far."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Steele will say back, just frustrated on how slow everyone going.

Sometime will pass and Sharpe will adjust himself and lean between both front seats, looking into the back of the JLTV.

He will look over to both the girl and Alicia. "How is our little princess? She looks better."

The girl will just be sitting there in a seat, wearing a military jacket that's way too big for her. The big jacket looks cute on her.

Alicia will look over to him. "She is fine. Was able to clean her up, a lady shouldn't be that dirty."

He will chuckle at that comment. "You're in the wrong career then."

Alicia will shoot him a glare. "I never said I was a lady." Then she will look over to the girl. "But she has not said a word. Probably scared, can't even imagine what she has been through."

Sharpe will look over to her. This wasn't the first time he ran into a situation like this. Once fighting Drug Cartels in Mexico and in South East Asia. There is a lot of bad back on Earth but maybe they could do something good here.

Deep down inside Sharpe just has this deep urge to help her. He has it since he first laid eyes on her. Every pulse in his body couldn't just walk away but wanted to help. Alicia is right, she is scared to death. We are scary soldiers that look very different then anything from this world.

Sharpe takes a deep breath, lost on what to do. He looks to the little Optimus Prime figure that is tapped on the center of the dashboard. That little toy has been with him for a long time now, always something to focus on when in doubt.

Right then and there he will come up with an idea.

Sharpe just opens his door and gets out. The convoy isn't going fast at all so he could just walk out. He then opens the back door and hopes back in. As he gets in, he holds up a figure to Alicia, warning her not to jump down his throat for doing that.

Sharpe will then sit down by the girl, taking off his helmet. He sets it down on the floor and looks to her. He will reach down into his pocket and pull out his cell phone and pull it out. He then reaches in the back of the vehicle and shows the devise to her.

She will look at him confused, not understanding what the devise is.

He will go into a download video app and play an episode of the 1980s Transformers cartoon show. He will then show her the screen. He will point to his eyes and then to the screen, showing her to watch it. He will be smiling, enjoying the show.

But then he will hear Steele speak in a confused tone. "Boss... really? You really are playing Transformers? You are a bigger nerd then I am."

"Wait... before you answer that." Alicia will jump in into the conversation. She will be looking at Sharpe with a confused shock. "You are telling me; out of everything you were allowed to bring here, was that..."

Sharpe will look at both of them and then back to her. "Ahh... I also brought Beast Wars and some other films..."

Steele will just laugh, and Alicia will shake her head smiling, looking away. Enjoying learning a little about their boss.

"My boss is a child. God help us all." Alicia says chuckling.

"Wow... wow... wow... Come on. Transformers is the greatest thing of all. All kids love Transformers. And besides, I don't know what else to do."

***

The girl is sitting on this semi conferrable seat, being far softer then sitting on wood. What a strange wagon this is. Staring at all three a.d.u.l.t soldiers. They would be arguing about what is on that strange small object that the man next to her is holding. But it seems they are having fun, clearly, they are all friends. Well, close to being friends at least.

But everything about them all is strange, all this seems strange. This weird metal wagon horse they are in is nothing like she has ever seen before. The clothes they wear look different. They are not like robs or cloth she has ever seen. On top of that this strange moving picture thing in this man hands are makes noise. These people on this picture moving devise are so small and moving but they don't seem to be wear either.

I was taken prisoner by those slave traders two months ago. Since that day I was forced to travel thousand of miles, sometimes on land and other times on the river network.

Then all of a sudden, I am now with these people. They just took me in, gave me these big cloths and food. Why are they helping me, is there a hidden motive? Do they know who I am and my bloodline, why else would they take me from those men.

But they don't seem to know who I am. My heart tells me that I am safe around them, around him. But am I really safe? I am just so confused right. They are clearly soldiers and soldiers are usually brutal with their prisoners.

Soldiers usually take what they want from their enemies. Taking women and raping them, stealing livestock and any wealthy they can get. Many times soldiers go and take the ones they conquered as slaves.

As these people talk to each other, the strange small box like people on that small object in the man hand are fighting each other. And then, there's Humans on there to. Is this all real? How can they fit in this small object?

She will reach out, wanting to touch the devise, see if she can touch the people on it. But then she realizes that man holding it turns his head towards her and then smile.

"You like it? Here, you can hold it. Great show."

"She won't understand any of it. It is kind of pointless. Maybe try something else." Alicia points out.

"I know your right, I am just…" The man next to her says, taking a deep breath.

After spending some time watching them, she realizes the man next to her the one who saved her from those men seems to be the leader of the group. She remembers that he called himself Sharpe.

After months of being brutalizes and enslaved by those four mercenaries, for the first time in a very long time she feels safe. Even thought she saw him kill them without any issue.

Looking back at the screen and seeing that this man called Sharpe likes whatever he is showing her. She reaches out and tries to take it, wanting to see why he likes it so much.

She will take it and look at it. She will be amazed on how light it is. She does not see any way to get inside it, so how are those people in there talking? That is when she notices that the people inside are just talking to each other and interacting with each other. Kind of like those theater shows back home.

She will look back at him and speak very softly. "What is this?"

That will take all of them by surprise, like they were not expecting her to speak or something.

"Ahh... I didn't know if you could understand us." He will think for a second and then smile. "That is what we call a phone. It allows us to talk to each other at far distance. It also can hold moving pictures like this. This is my personal favorite one called Transformers. It is about robots… tall metal people from another world."

Right then Sharpe begins to explain the basics of the show, who are the leaders and factions and what is going on.

She will tilt her head a little confused. She will then look at the 'phone' and back at him, pointing to the people on it. "Are they alive?"

Both him and the female soldier will chuckle. The women name Alicia will speak first. "No dear, that is just a show. Entertainments, for children." But when she will notice her glancing at the leader. "Children of all ages."

He will look at her. "You're not going to let this go, are you? I am your boss."

"A boss who brought children shows with him." Alicia makes her final point and looks away, chuckling.

"Greatest shows ever." Sharpe will say with a proud full tone.

Before she could say something, another sound would come from a bigger box up front. So many of these boxes they have that can speak. But this time, they all look serious all of a sudden. He will speak into something, having a conversation with someone else who isn't in the metal wagon. Amazing they can speak at distance but what kind of magic allows that?

"Roger that, we are on our way." Sharpe just says, like he is talking to himself. "Alicia, stay here. One of the wagons broke and an accident is blocking the caravan. Steele, you're with me." After he said that, they would grab those long gray looking sticks and leave the metal horse.

She will look over to the female soldier. The man called her Alicia. "Alicia...? Right…?"

Alicia will look over at her and then smile. "Yes, that is my name. What is yours?"

She will hesitate to say her name. What if they know her name, what could happen? They are alien strangers after all. "Why did that man help me?"

Alicia looks to her. She thinks on her answer, not really knowing the true reason behind Sharpe action. Not like there needs to be a deep answer, what they did was wrong in every way. "Because what those men were doing to you was wrong. You never do that to a child or anyone. Especially to a cute girl like you."

The girl thinks for a moment on what she said. She looks down at the phone, seeing that show continue to play. She looks back up to Alice. "My… name is Selina."

Alicia will smile. "That is a cute name, I like it. Do not worry, you are safe with us. Also, you don't have to watch that."

She will look at the phone and see the tall red color box man that Sharpe called Optimus Prime speaking about something. "This looks, interesting. Can I still watch?"
