(60 Years Ago...)
(In a laboratory in a sealed-off military installation known as Los Soledad, a scientist in a white lab coat with green goggles was working on a time travel experiment along with his lab assistant, Hugo, looking by him with a determined look on his face.)
the general: "You sure this thing is going to work?"
(the general in charge of the operation said.)
the general: "Your time machine has cost the U.S. government a pretty penny, Doctor."
the scientist: "The Chronologger is not merely a time machine in the sense of a vehicle, but a subatomic drill designed to bore a tunnel in the fabric of space time."
(the scientist said.)
the scientist: "As for the cost, I believe the alleviation of untold human suffering throughout history is ample justification."
the general: "It'll also give our red buddies overseas a thing or two to think about."
(the general said as he placed his dark protective goggles over his eyes.)
the scientist: "But to answer your first question, there is only one way to find out."
(the scientist said as he placed his own goggles on.)
(He then pulled the lever to the Chronologger that started to glow with a bright light as it opened a vortex into what I can only assume is the Quantum Realm that started to blow inwards, sending papers throughout the room flying.)
Hugo: "Are you sure this is safe, Doctor?"
(Hugo asked.)
the scientist: "I'm not certain of anything, Hugo! But the chronomagnetic field we generated should protect us."
(The field started to look to glow white through the vortex.)
Hugo: "Doctor, I'm frightened!"
the scientist: "Have a gumball, it'll calm your nerves."
(The scientist smirked as he looked outwards... only for the controls to start to grow unstable and start to grow intense as he gripped his head as the lights and boxes in the corner started to seemingly stretch out due to the fabric of space-time being ruptured as they were sucked into the vortex.)
(The scientist felt his feet drag along as he felt himself getting sucked up into the vortex as well.)
(As soon as he lifted his feet up to run, he was instantly sucked up into the vacuum of the Chronologger's vortex.)
(The general and his two soldiers looked along and gasped as some kind of monster started to worm its way out of the vortex with a growl.)
(Present Day...)
Kevin: "You two didn't need to come."
(Kevin said as he drove his car along the desert road with his sister driving her motorcycle alongside him.)
Kevin: "The others and I could've handled this alone. It's nothing to us."
Ben: "It doesn't sound like nothing, Kevin."
(Ben said as Kevin put the car in park and they all walked out towards the giant walls.)
Jen: "Weird noises? Unearthly lights? Rumors of weird creatures out here?"
(Jen said as Allison put her kickstand down and looked upwards at the large concrete wall.)
Kevin: "Yeah, the guys I got the info from aren't exactly reliable."
Becky: "Isn't that a big bad boy thing to do?"
(Becky asked with a smirk.)
Becky: "Come out here to a ghost town to drag race?"
Kevin: "How should I know? I just know them from auto shop."
Allison: "Uh... bro."
(Allison asked as Kevin looked behind him to see red writing on the wall reading "Kevin Rules.")
(He only shrugged at that.)
Ben: "Grandpa Max used to say that Los Soledad used to be a big military base back in the 50's."
Ben explained.)
Ben: "It's some kind of research facility."
Kevin: "Yeah."
(Kevin said.)
Kevin: "It must have been some pretty big research. Check out these walls. 60 years later and there's still no way in."
Jen: "Unless you can fly or create energy platforms like we can."
(Jen said.)
Gwen: "No need."
(Gwen said as they looked to see a ton of holes lining the wall on their left side.)
Gwen: "What? But they weren't here before."
Ben: "Doesn't matter. Let's go."
(Ben said as they got back on their vehicles and drove through the holes, advancing a little bit before stopping to investigate the debris.)
Gwen: "Did any of you guys notice that those holes were vaguely person-shaped?"
(Gwen asked as they looked down.)
Jen: "Weird."
(Jen said as she looked down.)
Jen: "Maybe something burned through the wall."
Allison: "Like what?"
(Allison asked.)
Ben: "The same thing that burned through the ground."
(Ben said as they looked at a burned trail going all around the ground as his sister looked down at the skeletons marking the ground.)
Ben: "Look."
(Becky knelt down and looked at the bones, examining them.)
Becky: "This was a bird. And these are lizard bones. They're fossilized. Who knows how long they've been here?"
Kevin: "Don't you mean 'God only knows?'"
(Kevin asked.)
Becky: "Sorry, Kev. I'm an atheist."
(Becky stated.)
Becky: "But these bones aren't the only thing that's caramelized."
(They looked ahead to see a destroyed phone booth that looked like it hadn't worked in decades.)
(The booth had two foot-shaped holes in its foundation with the door ripped off and the power line sparking out.)
Allison: "It's like someone turned the slate into sand just by standing on it."
(Allison said as they looked down at the booth.)
Kevin: "He was probably on hold."
(Kevin remarked.)
Ben: "The trail goes to the police station."
(Ben examined as they looked out to see the trail leading to said building and it went back out into another building.)
Ben: "And to those... apartments, I guess."
Kevin: "Just to review."
(Kevin said with everyone turning to him.)
Kevin: "Someone stood here a million years ago and then walked to those buildings that were here sixty years ago?"
Jen: "You are not helping, Kevin."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "These could be signs of serious DNAlien activity and it's up to us to-"
Becky: "Jen, the DNAliens are not doing this. Does that look like a DNAlien to you!?"
(Becky shouted as they looked to see some sort of creature moving towards them.)
(It had blue and white markings over black skin and as it moved, it left behind tons of after-images behind it like some kind of light spectrum.)
Kevin: "Finally, something worth the gas."
(Kevin said, absorbing the concrete from the ground as the others suited up and Ben and Jen transformed into...)
Chromastone: "Chromastone!"
Crystagirl: "Crystagirl!"
(They all ran forwards to the creature, only for it to move around them like it was nothing.)
(It moved towards the police station and scraped along its wall, causing it to fall down with our heroes underneath it.)
Crystagirl: "Look out!"
(Crystagirl shouted as she put her hands together.)
Crystagirl: "Crystarmum!"
(A pink barrier appeared above her and her friends as the building fell around them, but not protecting enough for it to send them flying backwards.)
(Chromastone looked up to see the creature was...)
Chromastone: "Gone."
(The group transformed back as Ben and Jen degenerated their helmets.)
Gwen: "At least the building it destroyed wasn't the library."
(Gwen said, removing her mask and placing it in her pocket.)
Becky: "You really love the books, sis."
(Becky said, moving her hair back behind her ears.)
Ben: "She's saying we have to research."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "Find out what that thing is."
Gwen: "All we know so far is that it's looking for something here in Los Soledad."
Jen: "Let's go."
