~1 hour before the tournament start~
Fighter is showing Sierra to the tournament medical room.
He opens the door and inside is a hospital room. It had 15 hospital beds and everything a hospital would need for treating injured patience.

"This is your station Sierra you'll be treating the injured."

Fighter says holding the door open as Sierra walks in and examines the room.

"I know why you're helping him, you want to know more about the first Core user was don't you?"
She says turning towards him.

"Always the perceptive one aren't you."
He says walking in letting the door close behind him.
He walked further into the room.

"How could he possibly know anything about that?"
She asked him as Fighter walked further into the room.

"The temple of the first core user, inside the walls, described him as an ancient being from another world.
It said that he gave others core abilities that he had deemed worthy.
The information I was able to get was very limited, inside the temple was a giant door.
No matter what I did the door would not open.
On the front was a handprint.
I assumed that the door would only open to a particular person.
I left a small number of robots despite not trusting them to guard the place.
I left there hoping to find clues elsewhere. However, my old friend Big Boss needed my help and I was gone for 2 years.
When I came back the robots I had left were destroyed and the door had been opened."

"What was inside?"
Sierra asked him, as Fighter sighed.

"Unfortunately there was nothing whatever was inside was taken by the person who opened the door."

"Okay, so how does this link back to Jack."

Fighter pulled out a phone and tossed it to Sierra.

"What's this?"
She asked as she caught it.
"I believe the kids call it a cellphone. I'm not an expert though."

Sierra rolled her eyes and looked at the phone.
"I meant what's on it?"
She asked as Fighter turned towards her.

"It's a recording from one of the robots, the only recording of what happened that day, everything else was destroyed. This is all I could salvage."

Sierra turned on the phone and she clicked on the video.
It was in the first-person perspective of the robot.
It was foggy and the robot was standing outside the temple along with 20 other robots.
The ground was made of black sand.
As a figure wearing a cloak and a hood appeared, his face was not yet visible, due to the fog.

"Halt we have been instructed to guard this area following the finders keepers protocol.
This area is now the property of Nine industries.
Leave now or we will insert the lead into your system, the fast way."

The robot extended four miniguns from each corner of it's back and pointed them at the figure.

"This is sacred ground I've been searching for quite a while.
I'd hate to have to leave now."

The figure said walking closer.

"What are you any way I've never seen anything like you?"
The man said, still walking closer.
