Premise: (There's one, but I changed it since).
The Travelers Pilot Episode Part I and II
Season 1
1x01: Joy Bunny
1x02: The Buffalo Creek Authority
1x03: Ode to Joy
1x04x01: Rivermen Blues
[It's night time and the city of Montreal is sleeping tensely except for the remnants of the Iroquois Guard. A great wall surrounds the city and even crosses the river, provided an extra layer of defense. There are troops stationed along the wall. These men are lightly-armored and equipped with little more than a spear and helmet. The troops are tense. The city is nearly surrounded by Indian troops but they won't attack tonight. Camp fires dot the landscape. Guards on the northern portion of the wall can see the powerful Indian war elephants. Times are tough but for now, there's a..."peace". But there is one guy who is....different from the others.]
Sonereal: Why are we here again? :/
Soldier 1: Why would you ask that? We're here to fight for our HOMELAND!

Sonereal:
Man, have you looked at yourself lately? Look over there! *Pointing to the elephants in the north* They gave us spears that are maybe five-feet long. Very useful I guess. Oh wait! Those elephants have friggin' crossobws on their backs!
Soldier 2: What's going on over here?
Soldier 1: He's being Defeatist.
Sonereal: *shakes head* No I'm not. I'm being realistic.
(The soldiers exchange looks and nod to one another. In a flash, they grab Sonereal by the shoulders and drag him off. Fifteen minutes later, he's sharing a cell with a foreigner.)
Foreigner: Where you from, mate?
Sonereal: Indiana. You?
Foreigner: Indiana?
Sonereal: America.
Foreigner: .....
Sonereal: (rubs temple) I'm sorry. It's far far far far away. Where are you from?
Foreigner: Medina!
Sonereal: Medina, eh? How's Medina these days?
Foreigner: I don't know. I haven't been back to the city in years.
Sonereal: Why not?
Foreigner: I've been traveling the back roads for years now. Exploring the world, if you will. Then I wandered onto Montreal a few years ago around the time the Arab-Iroquois War broke out. Since I arrived at a rather convienant time, I was labeled a spy and have been kept here since. Even though the war's been over for at least a year now.
Sonereal:
Foreigner: *sighs* I want to return to Medina some day but I'm afraid I'll be here until my untimely death and--what are you doing!?
Sonereal: (Crying) That's so sad, bro! Wait a minute....why not break out?
Foreigner:
Sonereal: The Indians! You do know that the Iroquois are making their last stand in this city, right?
Foreigner:
I knew that the Woodland Empire has been decaying once the Kingdom of Babylon and English Republic started nibbling on the fringes but for the Woodland Empire to be looking in the face of death? Impossible!
Sonereal: Well, it's possible. Since before they threw me in here I was looking at soldiers that couldn't possibly be older than 15 or younger than 60.
Foreigner:
That's a shame....the city is so beautiful. It would be a shame to see it defaced by war. But you said you have an escape plan?
Sonereal: Yes I did.
Let me tell you....
(The next day)
Sonereal: What do you think?
Foreigner: Pretty good except for two points.
Sonereal:
Foreigner: There's only one road going to Medina as far as I know...and the Indians are probably on it. Oh, and we're in the military barracks in the middle of the city.
Sonereal: What's the problem? You're just worrying too mu-
(BOOM (?))
Sonereal/Foreigner: What in the hell was that?
(A soldier enters the prison block which only housed the two prisoners)
Soldier 3: You two! We need some men to hold against the Indians. You two just got drafted.
[Several minutes later, the two have been given their standard issue helmet and spear and were fighting off dismounted horsemen scaling ladders to the top of the wall. These attackers were in a terrible position. Armed with only spears, they were slaughtered trying to get onto the wall.]
Sonereal: Haha! Man, how did the Indians do so good against you guys?
Soldier 2: No idea!
I mean, it isn't like these guys-
[His statement was cut off along with the rest of his head. Behind him stood a man in a suit of armor. His metallic boots clanked on the ground and he wielded a hefty blade.]
Indian Knight: (In Hindi) Prepare to die, minion of Sitting Bull!
Iroquois:
Indian Knight: Ha! Do you think we didn't know it was you Native Americans poisoning are wells for all these centuries?
Soldier 1: We're not the Sioux.
Indian Knight: Wait, what? (Soldier 1 plunges his spears through the Knight's breastplate, killing him. Another Knight quickly dispatched Soldier 1)
Sonereal: (Whispering) Follow me!
[The Foreigner and Sonereal flee the massacre and ran along the wall clockwise and run into another battle scene of Knights slaughtering Iroquois spear men.]
Foreigner: The gate! We must cross the bridge before they reach the gatehouse or else their Knights will storm the city!
Sonereal: But we're trying to leave the city!
Foreigner: Plan's changed. Follow me.
