A Door to the Past

Chapter Two: Heated Warfare

Daniel enjoyed war-meetings about as much as he did having his toenails ripped out. That is to say, he enjoyed it very little.

They followed Cleopatra to her palace only to find Mark Antony waiting for them. "Antony, call a meeting. We must inform these travelers of what has been happening around here."

"Right away, Ma'am."

He ran out of the room. "What was that all about?" Daniel asked. "You wanted to know about the weird stuff going on. We're gonna inform you."

At least that's what Cleopatra meant. Cleopatra talked fairly weird-like. Think it best if I translated it for you. Anyway.. back to the story.

"Okay, but who is this meeting with??" Danial wanted answers, but she gave none. She walked on, and Daniel followed along with Krissy. Every move she made, Daniel saw it. Daniel knew if she had an itch, he looked so intensely. He also had to focus on the task, because when he didn't, he would get lost in Cleopatra's beauty. Cleopatra had intense beauty. She was very pretty.

"We're here." Cleopatra announced. "We're is here?" Krissy asked. The only reply was a smirk. Cleopatra hit the wall in some type of pattern, and it popped open. "Please, do not fall." The guard said. He seemed nice enough. "Hello sir!" Daniel greeted the guard. Danny talked to anything and anyone. If it was interesting, he spoke to it. He once had a hour long conversation with a picket fence, because it had different colors than the picket fence across the road.

"Hello to you, sir." Said the guard. Daniel's eyes widened. "YOU SPOKE BACK!!" Daniel nearly shouted at the man. "Well, sir. With all due respect.. you addressed me first." The guard replied. "But I thought you gu.."

"Daniel, that's London. Not Egypt." Krissy told him. "Oh... Ah. Yes. I knew that. Dang, Kris. Don't be so stupid." Krissy glared at Daniel. "What? I was kidding." He said, backing away.

That entered the room. There was a table with a drawn out map on the top. People filed into the room after they got there. They followed Cleopatra to the end of the room, and sat by her side.

"Let us begin by saying welcome to Mr. Daniel and Ms. Krissy to our meeting." The group murmured welcomes. The guard clapped and shouted his hurrahs. "Now. On to business." Cleopatra interjected. "Mark, what's happening to our defenses?" "Ma'am, there being cut in half as we speak. The other side has weapons like we've never seen before. Weapons that fire many, many bullets in a matter of mere seconds. It looked impossible.. Improbable.. Antony took out an AK-47 and presented it. "This is part of what we found. This fires many little 'bullets', as they call them, very quickly."

Daniel got up and walked over to the gun, took it, and unloaded it. "You shouldn't wave this weapon around while it's loaded. This weapon is from where I came. This weapon is out of time and space.. it shouldn't be here. Is there anything else like this?" Daniel questioned. "Well, they have these cannon-like objects that stay on their shoulders. They fire without having to yank a chord. That have alien firepower."

"It's not alien, it's out of time. I'm our time, military forces have these items on either army. They're typical weapons found in military bases." Krissy explained. "That's not all, Ma'am." Antony replied. "They have used a spacific weapon that created an explosion on the surface of the Earth. They used a giant bird machine to drop it.

"So they have planes and Nukes.. great." Krissy said. "How is this even possible. Their side has these weapons of great power to aid in this sides. Def..." "Daniel!! We can't tell them how this war ends!"

"But.." "But nothing, they can't know the future. We can't change the past. It modifies the future!" "Alright, fine. But how did they get these weapons? Did they find a doorway like we did?" Daniel pondered. "Obviously not impossible, we did it."

"That's why we've decided to use the two of you. We would have never discovered this without you. We ask that you become comanders of Egypt, and help us deal with their weapons. Will you accept?"

The two looked at one another, nodded, and simultaneously said "Yes."
