Chronicle of Origins: Indomitable Fool

He ignored Speedy and began observing the pictures and notes. "Was this at the crash site?" he asked Sonow, rather curious.

"Well, technically, IN the ship that crashed." Sonow told the echidna.

Speedy just looked at the ground and signed.They were wasting time they could be using to get to the shrine.

"Interesting. How did you find the ship?" he was interrogating him now.

"Paused time. Not hard when you know how to do it." Sonow said, taking back the notes and started walking towards the shrine.

"So, you can harness such power." he narrowed his eyes. "What is your name?"

"The name's Sonow. What's yours?" Sonow held out his hand.

"Ricasso Denal," he introduced himself. "But call me Rick for short. Pleasure to meet you, Sonow." he stretches his arm out and to Sonow to shake his hand.

Sonow shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Rick. I guess you're interested in this alien business too?" He kept walking.

Rick nodded. "Up until now, I was sure it was a fake. But since you wield powers like that, it makes me convinced." he answered.

"The name is Speedy."Speedy said,introducing himself."Sorry about earlier,you seemed like a jerk at first,you actually seem like a good guy."Speedy was following sonow to the shrine.

"Skeptism gets me." he chuckled, then rubbed his nose.

Speedy chuckled as well."Nice joke."Speedy said.

"Well, are you 2 coming or what?" Sonow said, signaling them to come along.

Speedy began following Sonow.

Sonow eventually picked up the pace again and jogged towards the shrine.

Rick was trying to keep up. "My, you are fast!" he laughed, trying to keep up.

"Well, that's whatI get for working out." The three jogged through some plains and saw the enormous shrine ahead.

"What's that?" he yelled to Sonow, not sure what the shrine is.

"A shrine for some monster called Chaos, say my brother." Sonow ran and talked, when a sudden explosion blasted the shrine ahead to pieces.

"WHOA!" Rick fell from being startled. "What the hell was that!?" he yelled, confused at the moment.

Sonow tripped and faceplanted into a puddle. "What ever it is, it can't be good."

Rick stood up. "Are you sure that's a shrine?" he retorted, knowing that it's up in flames now.

"Well, it looked like it before it exploded." The fires seemed to be going out, and the same ship that crashed uncloaked itself and flew around the shrine, dropping shining objected into the flames.

"Well,looks like we got a slight problem."Speedy said,looking at the fire and the flames.
