*Story begins*

*Kabuto's POV*

*Land of Sound: Unknown Precinct*

"The Atlanteans: ancient pro-humans from before the ages of modern era." A couple of hours had passed since the break of dawn came. However, only the tedious rhyme of numerous machines and computers fills the stale air of the lab.

"According to folklore, the Atlanteans strived for power. However, in their mindless pursuit for greater might, they had inexplicably angered the gods. Ruined and desperate, they devised a technology to reclaim their former glory… and lost. The Temporis Spatio relic." I muttered with a hint of curiosity as I explored the peculiar ovoid-looking device.

Many hours of rigging spent upon it with a classification of live wires, coils of gold-plated conductors and loosed energy detectors. It has been under heavy scrutiny ever since I had uncovered it accidentally within the Gorge during one of my many tomb raids. Said to have been originated from an ancient yet advance civilization known as Atlantis that pre-dated even the Sage of the Six Paths - by now it would have been long gone; sunk beneath the earth by tonnes of soil and magma.

In myth, the ancient Atlanteans were at their zenith in science. Possessing unrivalled knowledge and superior technology to the point of achieving miracles. A far cry from current era. This device in particular, as stated in their legend, was the ultimatum of their entire civilization.

Numerous other silicon based tablets were also discovered alongside the artefact. The ancient yet strangely intact tablets were riddled with impossibly minute electrical emitters that could transmit data via network impulses, emitting traces of electricity when touched but barely enough to form a stable connection without some kind of external electrical generator. After many hours of failed attempts to decipher the odd objects, I'd finally understood the reason for such an odd design.

These were essentially computers. An extremely advance one in design but a computer nonetheless.

The device was connected to a machine I'd built specially designed to capture and translate those electrical pulses into useful data or at least a familiar form of format that I could understand. The results shown on screen were, for lack of better term, amazing and at the same time, alien. Matter and anti-matter manipulation. Perpetual E.M propulsion technology. Cold fusion technology. Nano technology. Robotics and Cybernetics. Space-time technology. Cyrostasis. F.T.L technology and Spaceflight.

The list went on. These were considered too advance by some, impossible by most. There were others of existing technology but to a greater refinement and more advance than any that existed today. The rest were more, 'sensitive' in nature. Genetic modification, biological mutations, chemical alterations and extreme indoctrination to name a few which were experimented mostly on… live subjects.

"So those legends weren't without its justification then." I wondered aloud. This will turn the tide of the war favourably.

CLICK! SCHHWAFF~! VREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW~!

"Wha… w-what in devil's name…?!" I spurted in a fit of panic as I drifted my attention from the green-coloured background of the screen to the slightly glowing artefact. The device glowed a dimmed turquoise blue, shimmering off the screen's reflective glass.

A vague figure enveloped in blue, an image that barely resembled that of man, appeared. A voice slipped into existence as the image figure shimmered into physical reality. I narrowed my vision and scanned for traces of any 'genjutsu' but found nothing of sort.

"PROJECT EDEN – 6513ALC. 'V.I' PERSONALITY RETRIEVED. DATA COMPILED. REBOOT COMPLETE. MOBILE SPATIAL-TEMPORAL DISPLACEMENT DEVICE - ONLINE. GEO-TOMOGRAPHY - UNAVAILABLE. GEO-COMPASS - ACTIVATED, DETECTING WEAK ANOMALY WITHIN 20 LEAGUES. ENGAGING COMMUNICATION - ENGAGEMENT FAILED. EARTH AXIS HAS DIVERGED BY 0.00019°. ACCLIMATION - UNKNOWN. CONTINENT STATE - UNKNOWN. TEMPORAL STATE - STABLE. SPATIAL STATE - STABLE. E.M STATE - STABLE. DIVERGENCE METRE ACTIVATED - S.0.035235674/T.0.032654539. CURRENT YEAR - UNKNOWN. ESTIMATING 50,000 EARTH YEARS AFTER LAST CYCLE THROUGH CARBON TEST."

It felt like I fell into a deep trance, unable to comply nor reject the foreign stimulus – trapped within my own mind. The voice was… for lack of better term, soulless. The pitch was oddly flat yet low pitched at the same time. How I could understand its words were lost to me but focused my attention further to its appearance. As the image grew fascinatingly more lucid, the dark interior of my lab was slowly washed away by the ambience light emitted from it. A man, no… from afar, 'it' would had certainly been passed as a 'vague' man's figure.

However, this 'thing' was no man. Two pairs of eyes, the lower pair bigger than its twin sitting just above them, each equipped with a glass-hour shaped pupils. Its top flourished by a layer of thick carapace of sort, maybe functioned to increase protection to the skull. The fore of the cone-shaped head sited three pairs of oddly placed nostril-like pores and a singular, thin slit that most likely be the mouth, though they were static even as the voice kept its pace on its strange speech.

"AUTO-JUMP PROGRAMME FOUND. ENGAGING PRIMARY ORDER, COMPLETE. RUNNING DIAGNOSTIC, DIAGNOSTIC SCAN COMPLETE. ACTIVATION OF WARP ENGINE, COMPLETE. CALCULATING SPATIAL-TEMPORAL JUMP TRAJECTORY, COMPLETE. WARNING! SPATIAL-TEMPORAL DISTURBANCE DETECTED. DISTURBANCE SOURCE…UNKNOWN. WARNING! SPATIAL COLLAPSE DETECTED NEARBY. ENGAGE EVASIVE ORDER - CURRENT HOST UNABLE TO COMPLY."

The figure sported in full battle armour. Adorned with eccentric design unlike kanji characters. Limping from the shoulders were forearms that crudely resembled that of man's simply dangled in empty space, digits countable up to only three per arm. It stood straight like all man, albeit unlike any man, 'it' was supported by an even strangely designed hind limbs that had only a pair of elongated toes on each appendage.

Of course, all these ramblings were merely a thinly veiled attempt to distract myself from the fact that I had just been absorbed by some kind of strange ovoid portal. It seemed that the heavens was not through with harassing me just yet as I felt myself being pulled and ripped apart by some kind of spatial interference. The next thing I knew was being sucked out of the chair that supposedly where my bottom had been glued to for the last few days and now found myself literally hurtled unfathomable distances through some kind of gravitational well.

The longer I spent in the black void, the more I realized that this was some kind of summoning technique. Unsurprisingly, I did not went empty handed as the artefact was held firmly tight within my grip. I quickly pulled over my hood to veil my face, not knowing what the other side might hold.
