I took my time...

A difficulty arises in creating a scenario in which a Spartan and Samurai can encounter one another considering the millennia separating their existence as such I have created the only viable scenario for their encounter:
So a Spartan Hoplite walks into a 21st century bar in Sydney, looks around, turns about and walks out again. A moment later he returns in obvious distress. He approaches the bartender, notices the drinks behind the counter and asks for the strongest he has. The bartender responds to his request with a blank stare, he repeats the request louder, thinking the noise of the crowd was responsible (It wasn't). The bartender maintains the blank stare, anger rising at his situation the Spartan begins shouting and rambling causing a scene in the bar. It drew the attention of the security who moved in to attempt to restrain and remove him from the bar. He drew his sword, the bar evacuated.
Five minutes later when the police arrived the Spartan was more compliable after drowning his sorrows in alcohol provided by a harassed and confused bartender. The Police quickly subdued the Spartan and began getting information from the bartender, it emerged that the confused man had entered the bar and approached the bar man speaking a different language. The police call an ambulance, the ambulance a doctor, the doctor calls a psychiatrist, having moved out on to the street the patrons return. The psychiatrist calls a historian and he establishes that it is a Spartan from over 2000 years ago. However, explanation escapes them, so the historian calls a priest. The priest is smarter and calls a physicist. The physicist walks out of the bar and gets caught up with the situation.
The physicist intrigued with its implications for quantum theory calls an engineer to see if he were able to collect some equipment from his lab, the engineer replied he was unable to drive to the lab as he had just had an earthquake and was "Off the Richter scale," then proceeded to wave unsteadily from the bar. The physicist proceeded to explain that the Richter measure of an earthquake was a logarithmic scale hence impossible to go "off" it. During the process of explaining the conversion of approximate Richter magnitude into megatons of TNT a Roman Legionnaire proceeds to walk into the bar. At this the engineer decided to attempt to gather the equipment, leaving the phone at the bar, he enlists the help of the police to drive him to and from the lab and to be pack mules for the equipment (he didn't phrase it that way exactly, they have a very important job). While he stumbled around the lab gathering supplies and loading them on the officers events at the bar continued to escalate when a Viking and several (Leaving my options open) other ancient warriors proceed into the 21st century.
Upon returning to the bar he found a conflagration of ancient warriors standing about the entrance to the bar with several historians various translators and several members of the media. He left the policemen at the car proceeded past the physicist and the warriors, the priest the doctor the psychiatrist and the ambulance officers straight to the bar where upon consuming another earthquake and quietly crumpled to the floor... To be continued...
