MINUS 6 HOURS.
It was now Wednesday, and thankfully a holiday, Patriot Day to be precise, and the early morning was absolutely perfect apart from a slight breeze and the chipper air that came with the early morning.
Sasuke walked into the public forest/ park thing, he could never decide what it really was, it was owned by the state and was kept up to an extent, but there were never any visitors out for a jog or a picnic, which made it perfect for him, given the fact that he generally hated the company of other people.
The weight of all the gardening equipment he was carrying was taking a toll on his aching shoulder though. He carried a large bag filled with hedge clippers, garden forks, a small hoe, a trowel, thick gloves, and a hand rake.
The previous day he had tried to move the briars around so he could get a better look at the "hatch" but all he managed was to get a couple of small, but very sore cuts and puncture wounds on his hands which he responded to with a few choice words.
He decided that this would become a bigger job than he had expected, so he went back home and searched for garden supplies that he knew were stored somewhere from when his mother had been alive.
He finally got to the briars and after a short rest and snack on some delicious berries, got to work at cutting the branches, which was a lot harder than he had expected.
T MINUS 4 HOURS…
"PHEEEEEWWWw!!!!!!!, my arms!..." Sasuke sighed as he lye down on the grass.
His pale arms were red from the scratches, and his brow glistened with all the sweat he managed to create.
He rolled over and stood to admire his accomplishment when a thought crossed his mind.
"O SHIT!!!" he screamed in agony, this was a state owned park! It might be illegal to do this, or I'll get in trouble for the most part! But I cant get in trouble if they don't know who did it! I'll just hurry up and see what's inside…
Sasuke walked over to the newly eligible rusty hatch. He brushed away some dirt and leaves that were on the surface of the metal. His hand grasped the cold metallic handle, as he started to pull it up. It screeched as the metals rubbed against each other causing Sasuke to grit his teeth and squint his eyes in protest of the high pitched noise.
It finally gave and the 3 by 3 foot hatch finally opened. He had brought along a flash light so he could see inside if there was an inside.
He aimed the beam of light into the darkness, getting ready if anything might be lurking inside.
It was AMAZING! There was a… stair case that lead about 10 or 12 feet down into something that resembled…. A lab, was the first thing that came to his head.
Sasuke's heart started to beat faster as he swelled with excitement upon realizing his new discovery.
As far as he could tell, a metal staircase was spiraling down about 10 to 15 feet. It landed on an equally metal floor, the hatch was to small to see anything more though, but Sasuke thought that he could make out a soft turquoise glowing light, coming from the right of the strange room.
His instincts told him to leave it alone, to just forget about the whole things and to go home, but his curiosity got the best of him, besides, with all those bushes over the top, and the fact that the hatch was so rusty and old looking, told him that the possibility of anyone or anything being in there, other than bugs, was very very slim.
He took a very large breath, tested the first step for support, then started in. Before it was out of reach though, he closed the hatch after clumping some briars in front of it. The last thing he wanted was to share this treasure with any nosey passerby.
As he made his way down the steps, he took time to study his surroundings.
In front of him was a huge table filled with tubes, containers, pliers, stacks of paper, and a huge chart above it all. Sasuke didn't recognize it at all, but he guesses it had something to do with the elements.
To his left was a wall, nothing to it. Except there was a silver plack, he would be sure to read it later.
To his left though, was one of the strangest things he had ever seen.
A huge egg shaped structure was suspended by metal tubes entering it from the top and bottum. It had a glass front, which was were the glowing light was coming form. The sides were a dark metal substance, which prevented you from seeing inside without being almost directly in front of it.
He was so transfixed with what he was beholding that when he reached the end of the staircase, he overstepped the last foot hold and fell flat on his face.
"GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!"
He sat up with a start, covering his nose, and tightly shutting his eyes because of the pain. He felt a warm trickle run down his lips, then his chin. He moved quickly in order to prevent a stain.
He soon found a dirty rag stained with an unspeakable substance, but as long as it kept blood from getting everywhere. He sat in the same spot, willing the pain to go away.
He sat there with his head up turned and his fingers clasping his nose.
T MINUS 3 HOURS…
As soon as he made sure that the blood had stopped flowing, he stood, deciding on what to do. He finally remembered his original interest and started toward the mechanical egg.
As soon as he was directly in front of it, he cast his eyes up toward the glowing substance… and froze.
