Unknown Place:Unknown Time
We see we are inside an impressive looking temple. We see Ryan lying on a large comfy bed. He stirs momentarily and sits up and looks at his surroundings curiously.
Ryan Shepard
Where the hell am I?
From nowhere the short old man appears.
Old Man
Ah… I see you are awake, my apologies for seemingly abducting you… But I must speak with you.
Ryan Shepard
Should've just spoke to me, instead of kidnapping my ass.
Old Man
I humbly apologise… Shepard, but we must speak.
Ryan Shepard
Ok what about?!
Old Man
Do you not remember your accident do you?!
Ryan Shepard
(Frustrated)
Again with this shit!
If it's not Kai bringing up the same bullshit, it's you! And for the last time...NO!
Ryan leaps out of bed and punches a nearby wall hard.
Old Man
I am sorry to upset you Shepard, but we must speak of this.
Ryan Shepard
I'm sorry for getting angry, but I really don't remember anything.
Old Man
Firstly my name is Chronos, secondly I can fill in the gaps…
Ryan calms down instantly and sits on the bed.
Chronos
I am glad you have calmed yourself, and eager to listen to my words.
Ryan Shepard
I'm not eager Chronos. I wanna know what happened to me.
Chronos
You had a unique gift Shepard, you were able to leave your corporeal form, for some time. Spencer utilised this and used you to travel to our world. But our world was in its final stage of collapse. That's where you met Kai and Korell. But there's… ahh… You are wanted back at the elder council… If you need me, I shall be here.
A brief flash is seen and we see we are back in the elder council. Kai and Roselle smile welcomely at Ryan.
Roselle
Ah… It pleases me to see you are well Shepard, and I see you have met Chronos.
Ryan Shepard
Yeah he seems cool.
An elder of the council approaches Roselle and whispers something in his ear.
Roselle
It appears we have an unexpected guest.
They all follow Roselle to see who it is. We see Sam standing on a glowing symbol.
Sam Shepard
So this is where you've been hiding, big brother.
Ryan Shepard
I'm glad you're safe Sam, but what happened to you?!
Sam Shepard
(Ironically)
Oh not much, left for dead in a shit hole of a lab.
Sam's eyes change to a bright blood red.
Korell
Cease your babbling, human.
Roselle
(Whispers)
By the ancients…
Kai
I knew it was only a matter of time, before you returned. Your absence was… Peaceful! While it lasted
Korell
I have no time for this….
From nowhere a bright flash and a huge explosion is heard. The bright flash slowly dims and we see the huge damage the explosion has caused. The elders and Kai and Roselle are unharmed but dazed. We see a human and metallic looking hand peer out underneath a huge mound of rubble
