The sound of metal screeching is audible throughout the desert, but there's no one to hear it. Yellowfang and Wikipedia tumble into a pile of sand, on the bank of a river.

Yellowfang: *spits out some sand.* At least we didn't land in the water this time... where do we happen to be, Information Slave?

Wikipedia: Please don't call me that... and we are in Mesopotamia, or modern-day Iraq. Also known as something poor seventh graders are forced to study in history class. I mean—don't get me wrong, I love history—but who the heck cares about the Sumerians?

Yellowfang: The Board of Education.

Wikipedia: *hovers above the sand as if she's hesitant to touch it.* I think we're a bit far away from the battle, so let's do a bit of walking to see if we can find the fighting.

Yellowfang: Did you say walking? I'm too tired for that!

Wikipedia: I also said battle.

Yellowfang: *starts into a run.* Let's get moving!

Wikipedia hovers after her, and they travel down the banks of the Tigris River until gunfire echoes through the desert and Yellowfang is visibly wincing from the phantom pain.

Yellowfang: *lets out a soft moan.* Is there fighting ahead?

Wikipedia: No it's a carnival. *rolls her eyes.*

Yellowfang: *coughs and stands up straight.* Sorry, I've got that under control. *glances ahead.* FIGHTING :D :D :D

Wikipedia: I would really recommend against going in there. *hovers in front of the medicine cat before she can dart into the warfare.*

Yellowfang: *sighs and sits down.* Fine. Tell me why I shouldn't go in there.

Wikipedia: Well, first of all, it's a freaking battle! Second of all, this is the Battle of Ctesiphon, which occurred between the Turks and the British in 1915. Fun fact—this was the largest single surrender of British troops at the time.

Yellowfang: *squints her eyes.* Did you say Cheziphone?

Wikipedia: No. Ctesiphon. The Battle of Chtesiphon. Currently, we are watching the British attack and fail for the third time. They'll be surrendering soon!

Yellowfang: So this is just any ol' battle?

Wikipedia: Correct...

Yellowfang: Then I can go see some fighting up close! *starts to get up.*

Wikipedia: It being a battle with guns should make you wary! *huffs loudly.* Let's get back to the time machine before the grenades go off.

Yellowfang: Did you say grena—

Yellowfang and Wikipedia are sucked into the time machine, and the battle between the British and Turks continues.
