Meanwhile in a nearby forest, the calm is broken by a sudden show of light. The lights flashed and flashed until it succumbed into a shape of a giant hole. As the hole opened, Ted and John jumps out of the hole. As they jump out, the hole closes, and has disappeared in a blink of an eye without a trace.
“Are you even aware of where we were a while ago Ted?” John asked as he was staggering because of their entry into the portal.
“We were in the HMS Titanic in its maiden voyage” Ted said, who was also staggering.
Ted looked at John, he was giggling.
“Why are you laughing? Have you gone insane?” Ted asked.
“No, I am just happy that my machine had worked” John said, as he smiled. “For over hundreds of years, many people have said that this was impossible, well now I am here to change it all!” he laughed again.
“Well, But guess what we don’t know where we are” Ted answered as he stood up.
“Someone accidentally altered the navigational controls of this thing, so now we are being brought at times randomly” John answered.
“When will we ever get back?” Ted asked with a scared look on his face.
“We may never know” John replied as he looked hopelessly on the ground.
“Don’t worry my friend, I will be by your side during all this times” Ted said, as he patted John’s back.
Suddenly, they were approached by two French soldiers, dressed in crimson tops, white slacks, large black berets, with huge long guns pointed at Ted and John.
“Qui êtes-vous deux inconnus?? (Who are you strangers?)” one of the Frenchmen said.
“What did you say?” John asked.
“Nous sommes perdus voyageurs, en quelle année est-il?(We are lost travelers, what year is it?)” Ted said as he approached one of the soldiers.
“C'est l'année 1793, et nous sommes en état de guerre. Où en êtes-vous des hommes étranges avec des vêtements étranges? (It is the year 1793, and we are in the state of war. Where are you from strange men with strange clothing?)” one of the soldiers answered as they lay down their guns.
“Wait, I didn’t know you speak fluent French?” John asked.
“You never asked” Ted answered.
“Répondez à la question!(Answer the question!)” one of the soldiers shouted as he raised his gun again.
“Ah, Pierre calmer. Pardonnez mon ami, il est bien ... appelons-tête chaud. Regardez, où êtes-vous?( Ah, Pierre calm down . Pardon my friend, he is...well let's call it hot headed. Look, where are you from?)” said the other soldier, as he held the gun of the other soldier.
“Sounds bullshit to me, I can’t understand anything” John said as he smiled because he was unaware of what is happening
“He is asking where we are from” Ted whispered to John.
“Lie to him, tell him we are princes of some sort” John said.
“Nous sommes princes du pays à proximité de la Grande-Bretagne. Je suis le duc de Hambourg, et il est le baron de Ashburry.( We are princes from the nearby country of Britain. I am the duke of Hamburg, and he is the Baron of Ashburry.)” Ted said with great confidence.
