Where are we?

 Jun looked around at his new surroundings as he placed his hand on his head.
"Oww" he said as felt his head throb in pain. He saw tree's surrounding him
and sat up looking suprised. In front of him was a purple tree with a large
lizard clinging to it. "Where the hell am I?" he said looking around. "Oh no
I've gotten lost again!" he cried. He hated to admit it to any one but unless
he was in totally familiar surroundings he got totally and completely lost. He
was as bad as that guy 'Ryoga'. "Well maybey not that bad." he said to comfort
himself. He stood shakily and looked around. "Must be decorations from the
festival." he said walking around a bit. He soon realized that he was not in
school any more. "Am I dead?" he asked thinking back to the machine. He walked
forward a few feet when he heard a rustling in the bushes. He quickly turned
to see several soldiers backing towards him. They were staring at the bushes.
"What the..." said Jun watching them as they ignored his presence. They had
looks of fear on their faces and backed right past him. Then a small tank
struggled to get through the bushes. It was crudely built and made no engine
noises. "Huh?" said Jun staring at it. It turned its turret and aimed directly
at him. 
	"Better run little man!" said a voice from inside the Tank which had a large
face drawn on the front of it. 
	"Ye gods! It speaks!" said one of the petrified soldiers.
	 Dan looked at the turret carefully. It was large enough and the barrel was
pretty long but the 'exit hole' was very small. He doubted if any thing large
enough to hurt him without a near or direct hit could come out of it.
 He stepped to the side. The turret slowly corrected. A smile formed on Juns
lips.
"Can't move that very fast can you?" he asked quietly staying out of the
sights of the cannon. The cannon roared as it shot at him. He stood calmly as
the bullet whizzed by him missing by several feet but causing his tie and
jacket to blow in the wind. A tree Behind him exploded and sent bark in every
direction. The damage to the tree was small as he suspected no explosives were
used in the ammunition besides the firing powder.
Jun looked at the tank. "Y-you shot at me!" he said looking at it dumbly. He
walked up to the Tank and growled at it. "You shot me you jerk!" The tank
slowly turned  and Jun angrily walked beside it shouting various obscenities
at the large metal hunk. "You aren't fast enough in that thing to kill me are
you?" he said smiling at it. 
Inside the tank the driver growled. "How has one of them figured it out?" he
thought angrily. "They're supposed to think its a dragon!" cried the gunner
from above him. They cursed at the man out side the Tank. They knew a man
could easily out run the machine in such close quarters. "Now what?" said the
gunner. 
"We do it manually." said the driver. The gunner looked at him dumbly. "Get
out there and use the spear, I'm getting tired of pedaling this thing." he
said angrily. 
Jun angrily Kicked the side of the tank. He stopped and starred at it. "This
feels like its made from sheet metal." he said dumbly looking at the large
dent in the side of the tank. He feel to his knees avoiding the barrel of the
gun as it passed over his head. The wheels looked like bike tires. "What the
hell?" he said reaching up and grabbing the barrel. It stopped cold in his
hands and he heard grunting from inside the metal shell. 
"What are you doing fool?" yelled the driver looking annoyed at the gunner as
he strained to turn the turret. 
"It's jammed." he said straining harder. 
"You weakling let me try." said the gunner. 
Jun looked at the barrel in his hand and squeezed it. It crumpled with very
little effort. "The metal is pretty thick but it feels like aluminum foil." he
thought suprised. He decided to try something. He put his hands on the bottom
of the tank and lifted. The two men inside cried out in terror.
	"Do you know how much this thing weighs?" cried the driver as the now
vertical floor was pushed in easily as the boy punched at it. Then without
warning the boys fist came through the floor and began to rip a hole in the
floor. 
	"All right boys you've had your fun now get out here." he said to the men
cowering inside the tank after the hole was large enough. His hand was a
little sore but he had just punched through what looked like two inch thick
steel. He turned to see a large group of soldiers was gapeing at him in awe. 
	"He has defeated the Dragon!" said one of the soldiers in a shocked voice.
"Yes" said the commander of the unit looking at the over turned tank. "A
'dragon with wheels." he said glaring at the men. They blushed and backed
away. 
	The two men crawled out of the tank watching the man fearfully and Jun
grabbed them. To his suprise he easily lifted them into the air by their
collars. They were large men and easily dwarfed him by two or three feet. He
lifted them into the air over his head by the waist and looked at the troops
behind him. They were wearing different uniforms from these men and watched
him warily. "Hello." he said to them with a grin.
	Tell me great warrior how is it you defeated this 'dragon?? asked the
commander in a tone that said he did not believe what he saw one bit.
	"Well I ripped it open and thats it. my people call them tanks." he said to
the man not quite believing it himself. The captures stiffened at the mention
of his people. 
"There are more monsters like you out there like you?!" cried the gunner.
"Afraid so." replied Jun.
"No doubt you will now declare your allegiance to the Akama and reign terror
on the 'pitiful dogs' of Josei?" said the commander smugly. The soldiers
around him backed away in fear. 
"Huh?" said Jun dumbly. 
"We won't fall for this obvious trick. It is just a ploy to get us to believe
the Emperor is an invincible monster." said the commander angrily.
"Emperor?" asked Jun dumbly. "Look pal I'm just looking for my friends so we
can go home. I'm lost and tired so give me a break Ok?" he grumbled. 
"Be silent!" growled the commander. "Take him to Sonkei." said the angry
commander. 
	Jun allowed himself to be drug to a campsite and placed in a makeshift
cell/log cabin. He looked and saw Itazura and Phil standing in the cell with
him. "Hey." he said calmly and sat in the corner. "So whats the plan?" he
asked non chatantly. 
	"We wait until night to see if they find Jenn and Achika for us and then
break out." said Phil.
Jun was about to voice his agreement when Itazura cried out angrily. "Escape?!
are you insane?! They  have spears and swords! We are going to die! They can
kill us any time!" she cried sobbing. 
	"The can not." said Phil.
"Wha-?" said Itazura dumbly. 
	"I don't think we are on earth." said Phil looking at her. "We can leave any
time and I don�t think they can stop us." he said to her. 
	"He's right were allot stronger and faster than they are." agreed Jun. 
"Not on earth?" cried Itazura.
	"Do you recognize any of the plants and animals here? Besides Why did it took
six of them to get me here even when I let them?" asked Jun looking at her
calmly. "Aside from a few grasses and close matches I sure haven't" he
continued. Itazura looked at him as if he was insane.
"How can you be so calm?" she demanded. 
	"C'mon its just like an anime." said Jun casually leaning on the wall of the
make shift log cabin prison with a small grin.
	"Your enjoying this?" she said angrily.
"Immensely." replied Jun as he dozed off. 

	Inside a tent nearby to the prisoners a meeting was taking place. "So full
blooded Asurans." said the man at the right of the young boy at the head of
the table, he had long sandy blend hair tied back in a pony tail and wore a
huge sword across his back. 
"Yes Commander hunter." said one of the elderly looking men at the end of the
Table.
 The man seated next to The swordsman looked at the report on the table in
front of him. "Can it be true?" he asked. 
"There is no doubt." said the commander. 
"Alek how can this be?" said the young man at the head of the table to the
commander as he looked at the report again. 
"It just confirms our suspicions that the emperor is an Asuran." said the
elder. 
"If it is so that cell won't hold them." said a man at the other side of the
table.
 "I know." said the swordsman. "They plan to enslave us again for another two
hundred years or longer. The bloodline remains strong only in a precious few."
said Commander Hunter.
 "We cannot allow this!" cried a younger man at the other end of the table. 	
Alek smiled "They use our own people as grunts because their own numbers are
so few. Their own offspring will once again bring about their defeat." said
commander Hunter with a grin. 
	"We cannot take any chances. " said the young man at the head of the table. 	
"Yes my prince." said the occupants of the table and they stood, then and
explosion hit the Tent and air rushed by blowing the walls in the wind. 
"The prisoners have escaped." said Hunter calmly.


 Jun punched through the wall of the cabin with a loud crash. "Run!" he cried
and they tore through the camp running as fast as they could. They were gone
before the guards Knew what hit them. 
"I don't get it." said Itazura "I don't feel any faster." she said after
seeing the camp disappear into the darkness. 
"It's like an old gaijin comic. A strange visitor from another planet with
powers beyond those of mortal men... etc. etc." said Jun smiling as they came
to a stop about a mile away.
"But they all speak Japanese." said Itazura. 
"Blind luck. We're lucky this world is so similar to ours. We could have
easily come to a world with no oxygen or worse." said Phil.
	"Now what?" asked Jun. 
"Easy we find the remains of my machine and see if we can fix it and find a
power source." said Phil. 
"Its here?" asked Jun.
"Came through with us." said Itazura smiling now that they had an objective.
	"Plus we have to find out where Jenn and Achika are, and Victor." said Jun
looking like he was having the time of his life.
	"You think they are here?" said Itazura.
"Very likely considering they were in the room with us." said Phil.
"Great now I'm a chaperone on some damn field trip." Itazura grumbled.
   " The machine looked pretty bad, no one should be able to fix it here the
technology levels are very low from what I've seen so far, and the damage
seemed pretty bad." said Phil forbodeingly. 
"Great." muttered Jun.
There was a noise behind them and they turned quickly to find the girls and
Victor, who was passed out,  his lackey sat at his side and patted a wet cloth
on his head. They were all sitting on a river bank. Watching the water and
looking tired. 
"Its about time you guys got here, Where the hell are we?" asked Jenn. 
Achika looked at them with tired eyes and smiled. "We caught dinner." she said
poking at some fish over the small fire they had made.
Jun sat down with them. "What have you guys been doing?" he asked. 
	"Probably the same thing you were. Wandering around this stupid alien forest
thats what. We almost got eaten twice today." said Achika
	"Actually we got to meet the locals." said Itazura.
"There are people here?" asked Jenn.
	"Yea none to friendly either." said Jun. "And they speak Japanese." he added.
"What happened to sleeping beauty here?" said Itazura. 
	The moron landed in the water when we got here where ever here is. We saved
him and wished we hadn't the rest of the day. He pissed and moaned the whole
freaking day." said Jenn whaping him an the head playfully with an annoyed
look.
 "Hey don't treat him that way!" said Ryoken growling at her. 
"Sorry." said Jenn. 
"He was quite helpful." Achika said looking at Ryoken.
"I am a trained ninja." he said looking at the group who didn't look suprised.
"No wonder he keeps you around doormat. You must be pretty useful." said Jun
	Ryoken growled at him. "He wasn't always this way. He still treats me like a
friend when others aren't watching." he said looking at the face of Vic with
sad eyes.
"We have to watch him he isn't to be trusted, regardless of how he acts now.
What happened to my machine was no accident and he was the only person to gain
from its destruction." said Phil.	
 Ryoken nodded and sighed. "He is right and I will kill anyone who tells him I
told you that." he sighed and leaned back against a nearby tree. 
"What strange world have I found myself in?" he sighed looking at the sky.
