Origins: Silver Mirror

"Is it all set?"

"Yes, all of Mirror's systems are working perfectly."

"Great."

A man with a dark gray sweatshirt came out from under his chrome car. He had brown hair, bright blue eyes, and was average height but very thin. Under his sweatshirt, which had a large blue 6 on the back, he wore a plain light blue shirt, along with gray sweatpants.

"I think it's time we see if these upgrades do what we think they will." he said.

Despite there being nobody else in the room, a feminine voice answered.

"I agree. We should try the speedway to check our new top speed."

"Alright then, let's go!" he replied.

Walking to the other side of the garage, he grabbed his helmet. It was primarily white with a blue visor and stopped around his cheek.

He returned to his chrome and light blue car, and sat down. After pushing the ignition, he drove out of his garage, to test his new limits.

Once he was at the speedway, outside of town, he got out to take a quick break.

'It's so rare to see a ground car these days. I wish people would recognize that ground cars are still good.'

He walked over to the start lever and pulled it before returning to his car. The overhead lights lit up, and the speedometers and timers along the track lit up. He watched carefully and steeled himself while watching the start timer approach 30 seconds.

He reached over to the center console briefly, putting on some appropriate music for a speed test, before glancing up at the timer again.

[Optional music: Tanger - 200cc]

10 seconds left.

"Record our results. I'd like to compare them to last time." He said, despite him being alone in his car.

"Understood." Spoke the feminine voice again.

'GO!'

The board lit up as he floored the gas pedal, determined to beat his old score by a long shot. His car quickly accelerated up to 100, then 150, before starting to flatten out around 200.

"Let's see how strong this stuff really is!" He said as he reached down to press a small red button. His car sounded like it was whirring to life, as it suddenly started glowing light blue. His rear wheels started burning, and lit the ground on fire behind him, creating a trail of blue flames.

He looked at his dashboard. His speedometer shot up and was climbing up to 250, then managing to reach 300 mph before flattening out. He couldn't hold back a huge grin. He finally beat his old top speed record!

Looking back to the road ahead, something peculiar was happening. It almost looked like reality was tearing itself apart at the end of the strip. Whatever was happening there suddenly tore itself open with an alien sound, creating what seemed to be a portal. It was purple and white, with mostly green around the edge.

Stunned, he just stared at the strange portal before him for a moment, approaching it rapidly, before his face contorted into a smile.

"This might be fun!" He exclaimed, before completely flooring his gas pedal. Once he reached the portal, he disappeared in a flash of light.

Origin 1 complete! I don't have any upload schedule but this whole story will probably take longer than the entire summer to write. The next few chapters will be introduction, but I'll try to keep them to about this length. See you in the next chapter!
