It was early morning. A thick blanket of mist hung to the ground, the sun had just begun to rise. Deep within the Great Forest, everything was in it's usual, peaceful state. Then, without warning, a huge flash of light exploded outwards, emitting a huge amount of energy. Birds and other wildlife scattered. Following just moments after the explosion of light, came a huge bang, echoing. As the light diminished, the sounded faded out as well, leaving the ground around the area scorched.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
His right arm was tied behind his back, as he climbed and advanced the cliff. He was almost to the top. He almost effortlessly advanced his way to his destination, only stopping to search for a ledge to grab. Then, without warning, he picked up a huge energy reading, he slipped, loosing his footing. He held onto the ledge with his left hand.
Sasuke: 'What the hell was tha-'
He was cut off by blinding a light and bang emitting from the Great Forest to his right. As it faded, he glanced over towards the origin of the light and sound. He made his way to the top of the cliff, and untied his right hand. He shielded his exposed eye, and looked towards the Great Forest. He sighed, and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
Sasuke: 'Guess I'd better check it out...'
And, with that, he leapt down from the cliff. About half way down, he used to card Sano had given him previously and flew over to a tree. Then, made his way through the forest towards the source of the light and sound.....

Sasuke arrives at the destination, and sees a small area of destruction, as whatever happened here knocked over a few trees as well. He walks towards the center of the small crater, and looking inside sees a young man, in his early 20s lying there unconscious. The young man stirs awake, and struggles to first sit up, and then stand.
?-?-?-?: ".....th' hell...."
He rubs his forehead, trying to massage away any pain he may have felt. After doing so be begins to inspect his equipment, doing a quick inventory.
?-?-?-?: "It all seems to be in.....oh no! The Chronometer is gone!"
The young man climbs out of the crater, only to see a strange looking Ninja standing there. He reaches for his belt, and removes an object about the size of a flashlight from it. With the press of a button, a beam of light emits from the hollow at the top. This item is also known as a Beam Saber.
?-?-?-?: "W-who are you, and what do you want?"

Sasuke stared blankly at the stranger, scratching his head slightly. Without hesitation, he lifted a hand in greeting.
Sasuke: "Yo. I'm just wondering what happened here."
He looked at his Beam Saber, than back over at the stranger.
Sasuke: "Nifty toy you got there. Did you do this?"
He asked, glancing around at their surroundings. He was reffering to the damage.

?-?-?-?: "...this? I-I don't know... I was adjusting the Chronometer when a shock happened, and I was sucked into the portal... I..guess I ended up here...."
He disengages his Beam Saber, assuming that the Ninja is no enemy.
?-?-?-?: "My name is Mael Gainsborough. And who are you?"

Sasuke: "I'm Sasuke. Kurosaki Sasuke."
He stated plainly, his hands were once again in his pockets.
Sasuke: "So, what's this.... Chronometer?"
He stared at Mael for a few moments, studying him.
Sasuke: "... and I take it you're not from around here? You look pretty beat up."

MAEL: "It's true, I'm not from around here. The Chronometer is what brought me here. It's a time-travelling device. I was doing some tune ups to it, when it caught a charge, and activated itself. It brought me here. But I don't know where here is...."
Mael looks around.
MAEL: "But I must find that Chronometer so I can return to my own time..."

Sasuke: "So, this isn't a matter of where you're from, rather when. Well, then... this Chronometer, what's it look like? I'll help you find it."
He glanced about their surroundings slightly.

Mael thinks for a minute.
MAEL: "It's a steel box about 3 units across, and 5 units down."
Mael is using the futuristic metric system, which is hard for Sasuke to follow.
MAEL: ".....hm.... being that size though it's going to be hard to spot...."

Sasuke: "Um... and how big would that be?"
He wiggled his finger at his forehead protector, scratching his head in confusion.
Sasuke: "Would it happen to give off any sort of energy....?"

MAEL: "It usually gives off a small signal, but it's in disrepair, so I doubt it's generating anything now. I just hope it's not busted up TOO badly."
Mael begins sifting through the grass and weeds trying to find his precious "Chronometer".

Sasuke nods in acknowledgement, still not entirely sure of what this... 'Chronometer' is. So, he just glances around the area for any odd looking objects. He lazily pulls his forehead protector up, revealing his left eye: the Sharingan was active. He glanced about the area, within a moment or so, he spotted something gleaming up in a tree. He disengages the Sharingan, and covers his eye with his forehead protecor once more.
Sasuke: "Oi, oi...."
He calls for Mael's attention. Then, he held his hand out towards the oject in the tree. It shifts a bit, freeing itself from it's restraint, before flying into Sasuke's open hand. He glanced over at Mael, holding the object loosely in his hand. Presumably the 'Chronometer'.
Sasuke: ".... is this what you're lookin' for?"

MAEL: "Yeh! That's it!"
Mael goes and relieves Sasuke of the Chronometer.
MAEL: "Well, nice meeting you, Mr. Sasuke, but I think it's time for me to go now."
Mael begins pressing buttons on the Chronometer, and flicks the toggle switch over. And then nothing.
MAEL: ".....dammit all! It's busted!"
Mael pops the back of the casing open and examines the contents.
MAEL: "...this is no good at all. It looks like I'm stuck here for awhile."
He closes the casing on the Chronometer, and reattaches it to his belt.
MAEL: "Do you happen to know of any place where I could be able to stay for the night? I need some place to work on the Chronometer."

Sasuke: "Oh, alright. Sayonara."
Sasuke nearly falls over, when Mael blurts out that it was broken. He thought for a moment, hands stuffed into his pockets, in his usual slouched manner. He was silent briefly.
Sasuke: "Hm.... I'm sure you could stay at my place."

MAEL: "Great, let's go!"
Mael looks around, then asks Sasuke...
MAEL: "So where is it?"

Sasuke: "Oh... about a few hours that way."
He nodded over towards his left. Then, he claps claps a hand on Mael's shoulder. He preformed a series of one-handed hand seals.
Sasuke: "But, don't worry about it."
And with that, the two vanished from sight, reappearing at Sasuke's residence.
