UP armored HMMWV AKA Humvee

JLTV Oshkosh

M3A3 Bradley

It's been a whole few days since James spoke to Hipper.

James managed to form up a Unit or Squad which only consisted of ten personell which isn't gonna be enough. The Oshkosh they have has a 20mm CROWS turret on top and the humvee still having that manual turning 50. Cal turret where Hall is alongside James on shotgun and a soldier named Smid driving. Smid is a normal Rifleman that enlisted in the army as usual. And the two dudes on the back seat is just Tanner and the back of the trunk is some newly developed futuristic looking radio made by a company known as AEGIS, not the weapons system used on ships, but a secret private corporation hidden on earth since 1983 and mostly classified all over the globe and the only countries that knows them is the US, India, Russia, Indonesia, South Africa, UK, Japan, China, Brazil and Mexico were the only ones who knew who they were.

And hell all of those countries that knew them was happy to have them make tech for them and for them to learn but they were very cautious about it.

And at the very back inside the Oshkosh is where the rest of the squad is which is Ela, Merrick and Elijah including the M3A3 on the back is Merton and Monriva with the Bradley crew inside the M3.

The CROWS is the improved version where the AI is more advance to target who's hostile or not which was made by a joint research of both the US and AEGIS.

Norvik got an order to check out a local village up southeast of the base which was pretty far, and which is where they are headed for first contact with the locals to get some info of the history of this world and even a few days back of being informed that magic exists in the world they are standing in after a recon drone operator found a group of mages doing some magic attack shit on a group of goblins, eradicating them with some fire magic, including accidentally making a burn t hole in the forest.

And other shit of some squads of soldiers and Marines dispatched to rescue some hostages or "slaves" that another recon drone operator found a Convoy of them consisting if 3 carriages of cages and 2 were a bunch of kids with animalistic features and the last one was a bunch of curvy girls with animalistic features which now they call demi-humans. The squads managed to capture 1 dude which was a fat bastard since about like 13 dudes tried to kill them after a few warning shots which they didn't listen and got fucked up by lead. Then after that they broke the cage open. And hell the big nightmares came to those squads.

18 kids with animalistic features all bruised up one with an infection of a cut, and confirmed were tortured, and all having PTSD of the shit they've been through, and for the adult and teenage, females.... We're all confirmed violated. Which was all against the Geneva convention and a violation of human rights. And hell a lot of them would likely want to kill the fat bastard but instead they took him prisoner and be interrogated for information. And the hostages to be treated and be provided with shelter, necessities and security.

And Now a lot of things came to Norvik's mind, 'this world is fucked up for sure' is what he had in mind, after hearing the confirmations of slavery and discrimination.

And a plus of possible big ass corruption in the rest of the governments in the world they're in. And wondering if the four cardinal heroes are here since the book hat teleported him and the whole base says in the title. Ad the possibilities of them being from earth too is possible, but with different timelines or universes.

Well Norvik is pretty much have his high alert instincts up and it's been a while to see him like this since he got deployed in Afghanistan with Merrick and Tanner till they get transfered to a different Battalion stationed back on the mainland. And Smid that's like been in the army for 11 months, almost a a whole year haven't seen combat before and does mostly mowing grass and doing PT and other stuff that's normally done in a house e like cleaning shit, but he has only expirienced on shooting an intruder in the face with a shotgun which made a big chunk gone on his head and made him puke. And it's his first tune seeing an NCO being pretty serious and high alert unlike his platoon Commander being like the rest of the boys in the platoon he was in.

"Hey Sarge" the young soldier called Norvik by his rank, seemingly has a question for him.

"What is it Smid?" Norvik asked as he looked at the PFC looking on the road half focused on driving and having his ears on him.

"What are we gonna encounter while we're driving on a road? I mean like.... it's another world there could be a mystical creature hard to kill I mean like magical shields and magic" he asked and hell he knows what he means by saying those, yes magic can kill them and they are not aware about guns that can kill them within a hundred yards away. Like how movie portrays some magic dudes like they know where the bullets are gonna hit them and form a magical shield which is stupid and since when does a mage sense a sniper bullet about to hit him or her in a movie sense.

"Not sure. Just not sure. We can still take them down realistically and like what you see in the movies like those mages and wizards can sense bullets and stuff but some spiritual shit, then we can't and we should be scared" He answered which makes sense of how a lot of movies portrayed magical medieval people overpowered while the modern guys are stupid and weak.

"Well make sense but a thing could be possible in this world you know" he pointed out and Norvil nodded as he continued to observe for like anything that may comes up to them.

"Soo uhhh.... How old are you sergeant?" he asked about his age for an Unkown reason but still sounding like about Norvik's voice sounding kinda young.

"Im twenty nine why?" Norvik asked about his question about his age as his eyeballs looks at him.

"Well.... You sound young like your in my age or something" he answered as he took a quick glance at him which he saw Norvik's eyes staring at him which he actually immediately placed his eyes back in the road again looking like he has some problem or he's kind off a shy guy.

"Were you.... deployed?" he then asked again with another question.

"Afghanistan a nearly a whole year along with Tanner and Merrick" he answered, but his expirience in afghanistan isn't like those ultra intense gunfights like how so many games portrays a battle in modern combat that's always epic and intense, but in reality it's not.

Norvik, Merrick and Tanner were always on patrol and he was still a Corporal that day, as well as Tanner and Merrick but Merrick is stuck on Cpl. They rarely got into gunfights but the most intense one he and the other two got into was being ambushed by a whole village a few clicks from their FOB and losing 4 guys in the ambush and their squad leader lost both legs and getting shrapnel scrambled on his hips from an RPG giving him a medical Discharge from service and due to their actions too some got promoted and some didn't.

"What did you guys do in Afghanistan.... I mean like what was your expirience?" still waiting for an answer from Norvik still analyzing his memories.

"Not a lot of action, but patrolling routes and talking to villagers and the only intense action is getting ambushed by fucking locals you just talked too and became fucking FRIENDS with" he explained quickly as he rubbed hi face and then the bridge of his nose.

"It's kinda difficult to think of losing 4 of your friends and having your good buddy squad leader lose 2 legs and get discharged and I mean like..." he paused as he sighed, due to remembering the squad he was is was falling apart after 4 of them dead and one discharged and some of them injured and incapable for a while to go do shit before.

"Like the whole brotherhood in our squad collapsed resulting to a lot of us pissing on each other" Tanner finished his words sounding kind off stressful with Smid's Sympathy starting to grow up.

"S-sorry for asking guys i-I should've-"

"Hey don't worry man, a lot of the boys back at the base has these kinds of stories, how about yours?"

"I Rather.... Not talk about it" he shook his head as he kept focused on the road.

"Sure, well your, driving cus if you get distracted you'll crash into a tree Smid.... Oh and cut the sergeant, just call me by my name" he said as Smid nodded as he continued to focus on the road.

E

*Beep* "Sargeant, were getting close to the village... Retrieving my drone now" the Tech specialist Monriva informed through the radio inside the humvee and Norvik gave a thumbs up indicating he heard it and for Tanner to send back.

"Roger that Monriva we heard it out" Tanner answered back through the radio inside the humvee. Norvik grabs his shoulder radio on his shoulder to inform everyone

*Beep* "Aight everyone were getting close to the village, remember be friendly dont try to scare em and make them grab a spear to poke our asses or make any magic shit on us alright"

Norvik reminded the whole squad

"Roger that"

"Mmm hmm" both soldiers on the vehicles who's in charge over their own radios all said as they all prepped up for combat just in case....

Just in case.

"I assume you don't have combat expirience Smid?" he asked as he readied his M4A1 and checked his pockets and pouches making sure he didn't forget anything important.

"Yup just..... Cleaning at the base mostly along my platoon does that shit back at base since and doing stupid stuff" he said as he smiled a bit, he remembered all those fun and funny and stupid shit he and his platoon just did a lot. Norvik smiled as well already guessed what they did.

"I can imagine what you guys did" he chuckled as well as Tanner and even the machine gunner's face isn't even being seen, he's smiling in the verge of kind of laughing.

"Smoke up ahead" Hall informed which Norvik can see above the small mountain in front of them.

"I know" he responded.

"Alright let's stop here, Tan inform them, we'll be walkin over the small mountain" He tapped Smid as he informed Tanner to inform the rest of the recon Convoy.

*Beep* "Alright boys and girls were gonna stop and walk towards the village on the other side of that mountain out" he said through the radio as the lead humvee immediately stopped followed the M-ATV and the M3A3.

"Alright Tanner, Hall you both stay here, and tell Elijah and Ramos to stay here too in the Convoy along with the Bradley crew alright" Tanner responded with a thumbs up as the two exited the vehicle.

Smid then checked his gear while Norvik looks behind to the rest of the Convoy seeing Ela, Merton and Merrick all walking towards him while Elijah takes a breath of fresh air while Monriva just does some shit on his tech inside the Oshkosh as well the crew of it might be taking a smoke or something.

"Were walkin?" the Marine Merton asked while he raised his arms on his sides as he tucked both his arms on the kneck garter of his IMTV and Norvik guessed his complaining and raised an eyebrow.

"Complaining?" he asked.

"Naaah just asking dude" Merton said as he scratched his itching eyes.

The three got close to Norvik and while he was gonna inform them, he felt something on his spine sounding like some shit is gonna go down.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH"

"The fuck!?"
