15th of October 1944.
Undisclosed Location, Germany.
Secret Nazi Research Laboratory.
"Are you ready to begin the test?" said someone on the speaker to the carefully battle-readied German Soldier in the chamber below the observation room. The soldier took a deep breath to relax himself and then nodded to the supervisor on the room above. "Step inside the chamber, and brace yourself for what to come next."
The Soldier, Rudolf Von Schreiner steps inside the weird contraption, the machine it self was made with a lot of variety of gears inside the machine, he never understood them. All he know that this very contraption where he stand was a "Time Machine", allowing someone to travel to the past. His very and only objective was to tell the German High Command before the war, allowing Germany take a great advantage early in the war. He assured himself that the test will be a success if things went accordingly, if he manage to transported back to the past, he'll be remembered to be the first one to travel back in time, only if he made it. He then made a final check on his backpack, inside was worth of 1 month rations and other survival kit incase everything weren't according to plan. Sub-machinegun "MP40" and a bolt-action rifle "Karabiner 98k" was safely strapped outside the pack, both had a limited amount of clips and magazine for one week of combat. He finally raised his thumb, indicating he's ready to begin the process of Time Travel to the past.
"Commencing, prepare yourself!" as the voice behind the speaker finished, the machine start to begin its work. Machinery and gears was moving, at first it was slow and then consistently to increase its speed. Bolt of lightning erupted on one of the machine. There was a panic inside the observation room, yelling in German and telling to shut down the weird contraption. Rudolf himself weren't sure if it was working or not, but he stood still in the chamber, he didn't notice the ongoing panic. The scientist at the observation room was telling Rudolf to get off from the machine immediately. It was futile as Rudolf felt his body melt and then at an instant, he was vaporized as a bolt of lightning struck him. Disappeared without trace, just as the chamber exploded.
Rudolf opened his eye, he noticed he was laying in the ground somewhere in the middle of a forest. His entire body felt sore as he tried to get up to a sitting position. His body felt like having the aftermath of being struck with a lightning bolt while swimming in the ocean. He traveled through time and space, but where in the world he was brought into? He closely inspect where he was landed, or in this case, 'Teleported'. It was a terrifying to see a lot of tree that resemble to a horrifying or a terrorizing face. The sensation Rudolf felt was; being watched by the numerous amount of tree. Ready to snap his fleshy skin and rip it apart if it was disturbed. He shuddered at the sight and quickly stood up and then inspect the area even more. It was only the same horrifying tree watching him all around him, along with a layer of bush. He readied himself of what comes next, but nothing had happened to him. He conclude that the tree was his own imagination and only playing tricks on him, he moved on after equipping his Kar98k where it was still strapped safely on the backpack. He attach a bayonet on the muzzle of his rifle and slash the bush's who was stood on his path, blocking with either vine or branch. The bayonet easily cut off the layers of bush and keep on going to slash the bush as it was a sheath of paper.
He finally through the many layered bush while swinging his rifle like a bat, clearing the way up front. He was met with a some sort of pathway made with dirt, he was curious where it led to and decide to follow it. Hopefully it was the way out from this damned forest, he thought to himself.
He was stopped as he heard a strange sound coming from a bush nearby, it sounded like a munching or eating noise. He approached where the sound was made, slowly crept into a bush to see a strange beast was eating something. The beast it self had a wing and a scorpion tail, which terrified Rudolf slightly. He quietly took a step back only to crush a stick behind him.
CRACK!
The beast turned its head, clearly showing a lion head as it turned to see who made such sound. The first thing caught its attention was the bush who was moving nearby, it where was Rudolf was hiding from the beast. Rudolf aimed his bolt-action rifle at the strange beast, aiming right at its head. The barrel of the rifle sticking out of the bush only made the beast curious and move forward to examine it.
Seeing no way to escape the situation, Rudolf made its initiative by shooting his rifle at the creature's head. Hitting it straight into one of its eye, blinding half of the beast vision, it roared in pain as it was half-blinded. The beast pouched forward to the bush, slashing angrily at the bush, but it was nothing inside. The beast then turned to the side where it seen the soldier aimed and fired its rifle. Once again, it hit the creature at the eye, blinding the beast completely. All it could do now was blindly slashing its claw in the air, scratching the nearby tree that is close enough to be near the claw. Rudolf pulled and pushed the rifle bolt. Then aimed the rifle again at the creature and fired, and he repeated the process until there was one bullet left at the clip. The bullet manage to penetrated the hide, but with only two bullets, it wound the beast slightly and made the beast angrier and then it roared even more louder. The soldier yelled, charging forward with his rifle while raising its bayonet up, and thrusting it into the beast hide. Again the beast roared, and again another shot was also heard. The bullet struck the beast at a point-blank range, the beast finally cried out its final roar and fell backwards.
The strange beast are now resting down on the ground, slowly breathing weakly. Rudolf looked at the creature for a moment, trying to process what had been done to create such terrifying monster. He pulled the bolt on his rifle and load another clip into it. Pushing the bolt back, he aimed his rifle at the beast head. He was going to execute the beast out of its misery until suddenly, there was a sound behind him. Startled, he turned and aimed at the nearby bush that made the sound. He shouted in German, threatening whoever in that bush to come out. He was shocked, and his eyes widened as soon he saw a pony walked out of the bush, a yellow Pegasus to be precise. Talking back at him with a whimper.
"P-please don't hurt me," the sound of the talking horse made Rudolf narrowed his eye in confusion. Surely he was crazy, a talking horse? That is utterly impossible, unless he was in a different dimension or world... or whatever you want to call it.
"Y-you talk?" he spoke to the yellow Pegasus in German, who was still frightened. Possibly after seeing what he had done to the strange beast.
"P-p-please, j-j-just l-l-let me help him," said the yellow Pegasus who was still cowering in front of the Soldier.
Realizing that the yellow Pegasus speaks English, he quickly changed his language to make the Pegasus understand him. Thankfully, he spoke English quite fluently, because he graduated from University of Oxford on United Kingdom.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I promise!" Rudolf speaks softly to the Pegasus, attempting to calm the Pegasus. But any attempt to calm the Pegasus only made it even more terrified to the Soldier. He sighed, "Look, you've must saw my action to this... creature. I apologize to you."
The Pegasus ear perked up and raised her head in disbelief and opened her mouth to speak, "W-w-what?"
"Look, I already apologize, you don't need to be afraid," Rudolf lent his hand, slowly approaching the Pegasus. It only worsen the situation as the yellow Pegasus let out a small yelp and quickly flew away.
He sighed heavily, and continue its way to the pathway he were at originally. He don't know what it expected after the forest filled with strange things, he only want to get out from it as fast as possible.
