In a dark secluded laboratory, computers spring to life after a long period of rest. Slowly, monitors begin to glimmer with light one by one, showing calculations being made. A device in the back of the dusty room begins to hum as it gathers power, then suddenly sparks begin to erupt from larger transistors connected to a metallic arch. A portal crackles into existence and a figure dives through it into the lab, colliding with the floor with a loud thud.
Energy blasts fling through the portal after the figure, destroying equipment on the far wall. The figure quickly pulls out a laser blaster and shoots out the transistors one by one, forcing the portal to shut with a bright flash. Smoke begins to bellow out of the device, and the figure quickly grabs an extinguisher to put out the machine.
"Well, that could have gone smoother..." Fxeni mutters to himself, tossing the extinguisher on the floor. He takes a quick glance around the room, his eyes adjusting to the darkness of the lab. He walks over to a computer and looks at its' monitor.
"Gone for two years..." He says as he looks around the room. He presses a switch, turning on all the lights in the room. It looks like it's been completely untouched since his departure to the other realm, other than the brand new holes left behind by the earlier blasts. He walks out of the room into the underground complex it is connected to, inspecting the area. He smiles as the memories of this place return, memories far gentler than the much rougher two years of recent memory. He shakes those memories away, wanting to forget them for now.
He makes his way up to his mansion up above ground, still inspecting everything along the way. Nothing was touched, he was pleased that his security system was still intact. Once he got to the mansion through the secret passageway, he plopped himself onto the nearest chair he could find. He looked around, and noted that some things were missing in the room he was in. He wasn't surprised by this at all though, considering two years had passed since his disappearance.
After a quick scouting of his mansion, Fxeni determined that no one else was there. He quietly went back to his secret underground complex, and pondered his next move. Sitting at his master computer, he decided to go outside and see how things have changed in his time away. He checks to see which vehicles are available, with only one showing up; the Fxeppelin. A bit irked by this, he checks the status on all his other vehicles. The Arwings in the Fxeppelin are still present, however the other vehicles are noted to be elsewhere. 'She must of used them...' Fxeni thinks to himself with his brow furrowed. Decidedly not pleased by this, he checks for the Fxenodrome.
He quickly determines that the Fxenodrome is still active judging by the signals that he received, however it is unclear where it may be. It is not currently in use however, and it seems it hasn't been in a while. He attempts to determine it's location by using one of the satellites orbiting the planet, however it looks like there's some interference stopping the signal from coming through clearly. 'Well, that's something to look into...' Fxeni thinks to himself as he heads into the Fxeppelin. He starts it up, and navigates it outside into the skies in search for the Fxenodrome.
