Strange World.

Chapter 2.

Richtofen's POV:

The two women stood still. Both short, but one smaller than the other. The taller one had long, dark hair. It curled slightly, and trekked down the small if her back. Her eyes green eyes seemed to stick out with joyful curiosity. The smaller woman had long hair as well, but the light blonde tresses sprawled to her knees, straight and sleek. Her blue eyes seemed to shake with delicious terror, her hand clasped tightly over her mouth. I forgot Dempsey for a minute, aiming my pistol at the taller woman. "And vhat have we here?" I cooed. and blonde one stepped back in fear, while her friend giggled in a hysterical excitement. "Your not.... The Doctor Edward Richtofen... are you?" She asked, wonder streaking her expression. I cocked a brow, watching the blonde women's expression soften. I pulled back the hammer of the pistol, smirking as she jumped. "Ja, Frau." I seethed, attempting to strike terror into the taller women. It failed, as she squealed, turning to her friend, bouncing slightly. "It's really him, Holly! It's the real Doctor!" She squealed, while 'Holly' watched her, smiling slightly. "That's great, Tess." She smiled, the tranced her eyes over the other men. Her mouth opened, "And... does that mean you three are," She stuck a small finger out, pointing at the others, "Takeo Masaki, Nikolai Belinski, and....." Her voice faded as she reach Dempsey. He spoke up then, his nasty American accent clear. "Tank Dempsey, at your service, ma'am." He bowed slightly. Her eyes widened, "Holly Connerson..." Her mumbled. The other turned to me, a wild grin on her face, "And I'm Tessa." She rang, her eyes dancing almost animal-like. I liked it. Holly became brave as I lowered my gun, taking a testing step closer. After seeing I wouldn't raise it again, she and Tessa softly padded toward us. "How do you frauen know of us?" I asked, genuinely curious. Holly perked to attention, reaching behind her back to dig into a small knapsack. She pull out a small radio, and gave it to me. I examined it, noticing familiar symbols raved into the side. I turned the dial, and an all-to familiar recording began to play. " January 14, 1923. After sheveral attempts to find evidence relating to zhe MPD, I have uncovered data vith coordinates and date. Next to zhe coordinates vas a script, zhat when translated, describes an entity named Ze Shepard of Fire. Further research is needed to operate zhe Teleporter vith zhis information." Dempsey cocked a brow, "That was only about a month ago, right?" I nodded, my eyes still locked on the device. Takeo an Nikolai were silent, except from the occasional burp or groan from the Soviet. The women exchanged questioning glances, which infuriated me. "Vhere did you find zhis?!" I growled, casting a threatening glance their way. Holly coward, slightly. While Tessa looked straight into my eyes. "Well, you see....

Holly's POV:

It was all so confusing. What was the great Group 935 doing in California? In year 2021, for that matter? Weren't they soldiers in The Great War back in 1918? How did they get here? Doctor Richtofen scared me in person, yet his recordings always sounded so calm. The man standing before us seemed sadistic, casting sickeningly strange glances at Tessa, and glaring at me. "Well, you see, we were researching The Great War, to answer some hidden questions around it. During our research, we traveled to an old landmark dubbed Kino Der Toten." Tessa explained to the Doctor, "In the theater of the building, we stumbled pain a hidden room full of these old tapes, papers, chemicals, and that radio. After listening through some of the tapes, we learned of Group 935, and of your research." She sounded so calm, so collected. That was the Tessa I knew. I smiled at the thought, but resolved as I felt unsettling eyes on me. I turned my head, slightly, only to catch hard blue eyes on mine. Tank Dempsey. According to our research, he was the only American among the men. His greasy blonde hair sprawled randomly, shaved close on the side, longer on top. My eyes traveled lower, examining his structure. Built, scarred, and covered in black gore. His muscles seemed to frame pop in his tattered grey shirt. His belt wrapped tightly around his thin waist, tucking just under his abs. Another belt, lined with clips, coiled around his thick torso. God, he was attractive. Before my eyes could travel any lower, I yanked them away, shivering at the thought of what his thick, big- No! I shook my head violently, catching the awkward stares of the other people around me. I froze, flushing in embarrassment. "S-sorry..." I mumbled, listening to the muffled laugh of the American man.

Tank's POV:

I ran my eyes up and down Holly's body. Cute, short, and thin. Her blonde locks fell just past her knees, straight and thick. Her curves were obvious through her tight shirt and jeans. Hour glass figured, and even on both ends. She turned, suddenly, meeting my eyes. Her crystal orbs traveled lower, then soon snapped back up. Her pale cheeks flushed. I stifled back a laugh, grinning as she began to shake her head roughly, catching the attention of the others. Her face was redder than blood as she apologized to them, turning her head to the ground. Tessa cleared her throat loudly, demanding attention. "Anyway, Holly an I were just heading home. We have a house not far from here. You can stay there, if you want. We can store your weapons and get you some clean clothes," She turned to Nikolai, "And we have Vodka." A smile emerged on his face, "I say we follow little gurls!" He proclaimed, wrapping his arm around Tessa. "Lead zhe vay, Frau." The doc cooed, his eye all over her. I rolled my eyes.

-------------------

We followed the girls to their home, a large building on the outskirts of the city. Everything was strange in this place, which made since after Holly's told me the date. April 21, 2021, Los Angeles, California. I was back in the US, but not my own time. This future was really weird. Fancy automobiles flew past us on black, lined pavement. People seemed absorbed in these small devices that they held in their hands, and there were so many noises and smells. Most bad, but some smells were pleasant. Holly and Tessa made us remove any clothing with swashtikas, explaining they weren't the rat the display. That left all of us in our undershirts, and the doc bare of his precious hat as well. He seemed angry about his lack of clothing at first, but it was soon forgotten as he became entranced by the new world around him. As we all stepped into the house, it was like another world. Sweet smells, warm air, and the soft tick of a very-advanced wall clock. The girls entered, tossing their shoes onto the floor by the door. Nikolai tried to mimic them, but they quickly made his return his shoes to his reeking feet. Tessa disappeared deeper into the house, while Holly walked quietly over to a large, white refrigerator. She opened the door, and pulled out several crinkly objects that held, what I assume was meat, and a sliced up loaf of bread. Her hands flew, assembling several dozen sandwiches. Then, her head turned to us, still standing in front of the door. "You guys hungry?" She asked, motioning to the food. "Help yourselves. You can eat anything in the fridge that you please." Richtofen and Nikolai were the first to move, then Tak. I hesitated a moment, which she seemed to notice. "Tank, I don't bite. And you can make yourself at home here." She smiled softly, yet reassuringly. I then made my way to the grub, thanking her for everything before I dug in. After about thirty minutes, we had managed to down about fourteen sandwiches a piece, while Holly sat to the side watching in awe. After throwing down a few more, and laughing at Nikolai's usual drunken remarks. Our attention was focused on filling our stomaches, that is, until a sharp sound caught our attention. "Nyaa!~" It was a very high-pitched squeal, which drowned into a short, loud moan. Jerking our was around, us guys caught a sight we never expected. Tessa had returned, and had latched her teeth onto the nape of Holly's neck! Tessa pulled away, laughing maniacally, while Holly fell to her knees with a twisted expression of pleasure and embarrassment. "Tessa!" Holly screeched, glaring up at her companion with flushed cheeks. "You looked like you needed a little cheering up, mien Liebling." Tessa cooed, walking calmly over to the island where the rest of us stood in shock. "Little gurls are closer than I thought." Bellowed the Soviet. Tessa cocked a brow at him in confusion, "What do you mean?" She asked calmly. "Well you did just bite her neck. Isn't that a lovers thing?" I asked. Her face twisted as she laughed, "Oh! No, no! I just like to mess with her on occasion. We've always said we were 'married' since high school." She grinned, while Holly slunk up beside her. Her cheeks still flushed, "Yeah, we're straight, trust me. Just closer than most. Tess is a sis to me." Holly chimed, her blue eyes looking into mine. The pink tint in her cheeks seemed to darken, turning a deep crimson as she kept eye contact with me for a little longer than normal. She then turned her head, walking out of the room. My eyes followed her, enjoying the way her round backside swished as she walked. My attention snapped back as I heard a loud laugh behind me. "Sheems as zhough zhat frau has taken a liking to you, Dempshey." I turned to glare at him, but noticed all head, but mine, were bobbing in agreement. I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, doubt that would ever happen." Or that I'd get that lucky...
