“The Place Where it all Started”

The two of them travels to an odd place filled with forest and vegetation. Sophie was still in her pajamas; she still couldn't help but brought her a weapon to defend herself against someone that might attack them even Kevin.

They began trekking the gloomy forest, Sophie was in a hype alert she couldn't believe why did she even went with Kevin for the first time. The place was even more colder than when they first met, the air around them swirl through the tall trees blowing away some leaves. Yet still the forest was a good place to travel where a person might take its time relief their stress at full time.

"Are we there yet" Sophie said holding the blanket tightly.

"Just a little around" He replies to her while calmly walking through the flat forest full of grass.

"Why did I even agree to come with you from this place are you hiding something from me"

"Let's make a bet… if I would show you something real interesting then you should find yourself a man... girl, if not then you can torture me with that weapon of yours", Kevin couldn't help but only tease her.

After teasing her even tho they travel miles away just to get this far, she stops talking since it is useless to have a conversation.

She was tired through the minutes of walking; she couldn't help but ask to take a rest. Sweating, panting she stop midways holding her knees.

"Wait" still panting… "let's… take a break" she falls from her knees and find a tree to lay her back.

For Kevin, he didn't let out a word to said but brought out a box of cigar only to poof out a smoke.

They sat there for a couple of minutes until Sophie regains her stamina.

"What's so interesting about this place… "

Kevin let out a smoke while closing his eye for a small point of time, "you'll soon know".

"I can take this anymore, I should have stayed at my place".

He ignores her cry and stood up, "let's go"

She too stands up following Kevin disappointed. But it just took them 4 minutes to finally reach a dead end being covered by tree vines and roots. Kevin search through the thickness of the vines and quickly found a hidden entrance.

Sophie was now energetic yet filled with curious mystery "where are we going".

"Where it all began"

Sophie was more a little bit afraid to enter but she was able muster some of her fear and she too enters. The cave tunnel stretch-out no more than 20 meters until they've arrive to some open cave. The place was beautiful to seen, untouched… temperature between the cave and the outside were different, it was a lot warmer. She could hear the smooth flowing of waters near through a small pond.

They walk towards one area, where it had been lighted by an open sky. She scouts the surroundings observing for something interested. At 10 meters away she was able to take notice of a craft, she couldn't believe her eyes. She was silent in amazement, a craft that is so different to this world, it didn't rust nor being decomposed by time but it was still intact.

She walks slowly staring at the craft, "crack" a sound was heard while walking. She stops for a bit looking down to see what creates the sound.

Her heart jumps… she was alarm to see a bunch of skeletons still wearing an Athena suit. The suits were in a decomposing state, judging by the design of the suit she can already tell that it was a second generation Athena suit. But she was even more curious to this place, the ship, the dead people wearing the suit, and Kevin himself.

Question starts to engulfs her mind, why are there dead bodies, what holds inside from that unknown craft, and what is the connection between Kevin and this place.

"See… I told ya" Kevin let out a cigar and again start smoking, after lighting his cigar he directly walks towards the craft.

Sophie who don't know what to do chased after him distance herself closer. She was helpless to be awe by the magnificent ship. Kevin touched something from the ship and quickly it let out a sound. It didn't let out a hatch door or something related, but instead of doors it was a portal. They could see the interior of the ship like it was x-ray, Kevin first enter… upon entering the portal was disrupted like a calm water slowly being touched. Sophie too follows him, as they enter the interior of the craft all Sophie could do was wonder the place.

Its interior was peculiar not like any other ship that you usually see, the place was tingling with sounds of energy. She could tell that the room itself was expanded, Kevin walks to some place. Sophie touched something and suddenly a hologram appears showing the galaxies and universe floating like magic. She touched some and quickly it shows some different planets some are large, small it was a very beautiful to look at the beauty of the universe itself. They are in the pilot chamber and once again Kevin shows her something. He touched the table like and upon twitching something, the room were now different it quickly changes scenario. It shows a different universe far-far away that they couldn't even decipher. Every symbols that shows within the place was different, but alas it was worth it.

Kevin had enough and return back to whence the original room, He was looking for something. Sophie in the other hand stay silent, he again walks to the right corner and upon entering a wall he didn't stop but the wall automatically cracks a portal to the next room.

The interior of the room they now stand where in a ring type, the diameter measure approximately at 9 meters. Every corner holds different types of weapons and equipment's, but the most interesting of them all was an unknown metal like twisting as if alive. It was in the center of the chamber floating defying the laws of gravity; it glows in pure red color.

Kevin walks towards the shape shifting metal what happen next was I don't know.
