Go To

Venger has been abducting military personnel from different battles in Earth, and his latest captive is a US Air Force pilot, whose fighter jet Venger commandeers. Venger then goes to the Second World War and captures a Luftwaffe pilot named Josef, intending to give him the modern fighter jet to make World War II an Axis victory, which would change Earth's history and prevent the kids from ever being born.


Tropes:

  • All Germans Are Nazis: Notably averted. Josef might be fighting for Nazi Germany, but he secretly loathes Hitler's regime and is more than happy to learn that his native country will be freed from that tyrant. Hence why he rejects Venger's offer to become a war hero, and instead destroys the portal and wrecks the fighter jet.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Venger once again fails to grasp how human morality works by assuming that all German soldiers in World War 2 were pro-Nazi scumbags, not even considering the possibility that there were decent people among them who hated being part of Hitler's cause and were eager to turn away from that life. Josef is one such person, who then seizes his chance to make a fool out of Venger by playing along with him for a bit, only to betray the villain and ruin his plans at the perfect opportunity.
  • Make Wrong What Once Went Right: Venger wants to change Earth's history to ensure Nazi Germany wins World War II, so the kids will never be born.
  • No Swastikas: Neither Joseph's uniform nor his plane display the swastika.
  • Schizo Tech: Venger deliberately tries to invoke this trope by giving Josef a modern day figher jet to take with him to 1940's Europe.
