Dom's POV

(A little help for you, on the picture above, the drivers hatch is the one on the front of the vehicle, on the turret, you can see the commander on the left, standing out of his hatch on the turret, the gunner hatch is to the right of the commanders)

One minute, I'm sat in the gunners seat, looking through my sights as we leaving the safe radius of camp Bastion for a supply run to an outpost, then... A white light, now me and the others are stuck in a woods of some kind, "we are definitely not in Afghanistan anymore" I say, as my vehicle Sergeant, Kelly, tries for the hundred time to raise comms with HQ.

My Driver, Carlos was sitting tight, he had the engine off, but kept the power on, it's fine if we want to keep our presence hidden, but if something comes at us, I can't fire the 7.62 coaxial Chain Gun, and the 30mm rarden wouldn't be easy to use firing manually.
But nothing moved, nothing happened, the only sound being the Sergeant saying "Charlie Bravo, 1-1, this is Alpha 22-3, Whiskey calling, do you read ?, Over" he repeated it several more times, before putting the headset down and sighing, "well, I can't get anyone, you ?" He asked, "nope, I tried a couple of times, but all I get is static, so I gave up about ten minutes ago" I replied.

"Well, what shall we do now ?, I know we aren't in Afghanistan anymore, because they don't have woodlands like this, not this lush" said Carlos, I turned to our sergeant, who looked out of the commanders hatch, watching the trees, "hmmm, I suppose we should try and get out of these woods, we will head North-East of our current position to find a way out or to find any civilisation" he said, I nodded and and Carlos clicked his comms to confirm he got the order.

The engine roared to life and the vehicle shuddered slightly, now the engine was running, I could use the main weaponry and look through all of my sights, seeing my thermal and night sights warming up, but until they were completely warm, they were pretty useless.
I lowered my seat for a second and moved the turret cage from behind me to the side, I then looked in the back, seeing the supplies we were carrying, along with our SA80 A2  rifles, standard load of 7 magazines of 5.56mm rounds for each rifle, and our Glocks, the 94mm explosive NLAW, the 1600 rounds of 7.62 for the chain gun, and the spare belts we had stored in the turret cage and the clips of Armour Piercing Discard Sabot, (APDS) High Explosive, (HE) and a few Discard Sabot Reduced Range (DSRR) rounds for the 30mm.

We had 2 General Purpose Machine Guns, (GPMG), with several more crates of 7.62 belts, 2 SA80s, one had the Underslung Grenade Launcher (UGL) attachment, with 4 bandoliers holding 11, 40mm grenades. A spare UGL was next to it and few NLAWs, and there was some other weapons, but they were out of sight, there were also several tins of hand grenades, flares and tons of 5.56mm ammunition, including some link belts of 5.56mmas well as medical supplies and about 40 packs of 24 hour rations.

I then closed the turret cage and looked back through the gunners sight, noticing very little changing in the scenery and waited for the long journey to end.

......
Eventually we came to and end of the woodblock, but just as we were on the edge of the tree line, Kelly "OK, Carlos, I need you to turn the engine off for now, and you..." He said and looked at me, "take these binoculars and look up ahead, there must be something here".
He handed me a pair of binoculars that have a built in, laser range finder.

The engine stops and the vehicle is still, there is no sound, I unlocked the hatch and climbed out of the turret, I then grabbed my rifle from the rack behind the gunners seat, and my webbing, I placed my webbing on and buckled it, then slung my rifle over my back and climbed off the vehicle, I then placed the binoculars in my trouser pockets, then put the but of my rifle into my shoulder, I then tightened my grip on the fore grip, then walked out of the tree line, it seems like we were on a hill of some sorts, I looked out and saw nothing but open fields, the sun was shining, birds were singing as they flew over head, the multicoloured figures on a picnic blanket under a tree in the distance and.... 'WAIT A MINUTE !!!' I thought, then looked again.

I saw something there, so i did what I was taught in training if we spot something out of the ordinary, I hit the floor, the grass was tall in some places and small bushes and old, dried up river beds made some burrowed ground, proving cover.

I then pulled out my binoculars and looked again, I saw four figures, all were obviously female, humanoid and also wearing different clothes but that's where the similarities ended, as the first one was white with purple hair and was looking in a hand held mirror, she also seemed to have a pure white skin, 'how ?!' I thought, then looked at the others.
Another one was Pink, eating a big piece of cake, a yellow one with pink hair, holding a rabbit in her hands, she had what seemed to be a tail of pink.... 'I... I just don't care anymore...' I thought to myself, and looked at the last, who had a shining tail and I could make out their ears are a little pointy "...fuck my life..." I muttered, then noticed she was reading.

I didn't know that to think "maybe those opium poppy fields around Afghanistan had affected me into seeing this illusion, but then that wouldn't make any sense" I mutter to myself and continued to survey the area.

I saw the outlines of several building, "a village" I say, then click the button, I soon see the number 2040.  "2040 metres, those trees are about 1000 metres from my position, I better wrap this up" I muttered to myself, and looked back at the group

I then noticed the one with a shining tail and hair looking in my general direction, I quickly lowered myself and crawled to the tree line, using the bushes and burrowed ground for cover, on my way back, I saw more of the village, there were more of those... Humanoid beings, in a market place.

There were also several vehicles, but there were some pedal bikes, and even a car, but the rest seemed to be near the olden times, no mobile phones were visible, and no sign of authority like police or military.

....................

After about 10 minutes, I managed to crawl back, where Kelly looked at me like I was mad, "well, there is a village, about 2000 metres... But the occupants are a little...weird, hell, I think I'm seeing things" I say, "What ?" Asked Kelly, Carlos also seemed interested, I sighed, "just go look for yourself".

"Hey, what's with the attitude ?" Asked Carlos, "I'm just saying, it's easier for all of us if you look for yourselves and prove to me that I'm not hallucinating or seeing things" I replied, they nodded and took the binoculars off me, then headed out themselves. I just decided to wait so I opened the back to check what I missed.

In the back, I also spotted an LMG, an L110 "Minimi", next to it was a spare barrel, and a box magazine with a belt of 5.56 ammunition attached to the bottom of it, but not fed into the chamber, I also saw a tri-pod stand for one of the GPMGs, and a combat shotgun with the shells to have it loaded once.

I got on the turret and waited until I saw a pale Kelly with a rather excited Carlos walking behind him and then Kelly faced me, "no words ?" I asked, "just where the hell are we ?, and what happened ?" He asked, as Carlos just looked back into the direction of the village once more, I shook my head from side to side, slightly.

"I don't know, Sarge, I just don't know" I say.

.........................

Later that day, we found the camo netting in one of the side cages, and so, we put it over the Warrior, we wanted to observe the village and it's rather strange inhabitants before we take any action to communicate with them, as they could be hostile, but hey, that may not be the case.

I really wanted to find out how we got here, and that village could be our only chance to get information about it, maybe they could come up with a solution for us to return home, as the tree of us know, we are definitely not on earth anymore.

Carlos looked through our food and water supplies, Kelly checked our radio systems to see if we can get any frequency and I watched out in case anyone tried to get the drop on us, just in case.
