The scenery Infront of Dan changed again..
Year 4112, "BLUE-EL03"
The whole Planet was looking forward to this Day. Dr. Jay Danates is giving an iconic speech. Today is the day he is leaving this planet to change their fate. "I will explore that planet, Explore every moment there and return with the crystal to change our fate."
Project Legacy was Completed. Dr. Danates was chosen as the Explorer. After his speech, Jay was escorted to a Huge Teleportation Device. Slowly His Visage Vanished Inside the Device.
After an Unknown amount of time..
Jay opened his Eyes. He was in Dark Place, But Thanks to Legacy He could perfectly see Everything.
"Jay: Legacy, I want a Complete status on My situation." Ordered Jay.
"Legacy: Affirmative. The Teleportation was Successful. All Your Vitals are stable. Scanning.. Scanning.. Your Current Location is an Underground Cave, Inside a Sub-dimension. The Atmosphere is Habitable for Humans. Nav-crystal Energy Signatures are Found in the Atmosphere. Trillions of Life Signatures are Found on the planet."
"Jay: What? That's Unexpected. Search for Life Signatures in a 2km Radius."
"Legacy: Affirmative. Multiple Unregistered Life Signatures are found. 2 Humanoid life Signatures are found. One of them is only 14.8 meters away from you."
"Jay: Is that so. Good, we can gain some Information from it. Activate Paralysis Wave."
After Jay paralyzed Dan, He was surprised to see How similar Both of them are. Dan looked Exactly like a Boy from his Planet. It is a good thing. Nobody will mistake him for a Alien in this Planet.
"Jay: Eject Nanites. Match our DNAs." Jay ordered.
"Legacy: A 100% match with Human DNA. He is a full-fledged Human." Answered Legacy after a few seconds.
"Jay: Although I expected Carbon based Intelligent beings, But not to this extent. Eject Z-suit. I want to feel this New World."
"Legacy: I advise against that. The Atmosphere have high concentration of Nav-crystals Signature. I need more Data to give a accurate response."
"Jay: Don't worry. That boy is living here no problem here. Why can't I. I repeat Eject Z-suit.
"Legacy: Affirmative. Ejecting Z-suit."
The suit covering Jay Danates Vanished.
Jay: The Air here feels so refreshing. Now let's get some Information." Jay spoke as he stretched out. As he was about to walk..
"Legacy: Error.. Error.. Nav-crystals are being absorbed by your Body. Engaging Emergency Procedure.. Failed.. Sync.. Failed.. Rebooting..
Jay Understood something is wrong with his body. He was about to equip the z-suite again but He started losing Control from his body. He staggered.
"Jay: I can't Die Here. I Have a Huge Responsibility to succeed. I.. I.. I will live"
"And he died; just how unlucky that guy is to die the moment he came to this world?" Dan looked at the scenery Infront of him with a hint of pity.
"Dan: So, in short, your solar system is going to be wiped out, and to save your planet, you are going to Teleport it somewhere else. To do that Teleportation, you need that Nav-crystal, which is on this planet somewhere. That person came to complete this mission but died, now you want me to complete it in his stead." Dan asked in his mind.
"Legacy: That's the gist of it. You catch on quickly." Said Legacy.
The scenery changed and and Dan found himself in a White room. In the middle of the room was floating a silvery Blue sphere. Dan Instinctively Knew who it is..
"Dan: What will happen if I refuse to search for this crystal?" Asked Dan to the sphere.
"Legacy: According to the Protocols installed in me, I will just overwrite your memory and search for a new host. But I can't Do it Now as Synchronisation with a Host costs a lot of Energy." Replied the sphere.
"Dan: And I am guessing you are going to live in me this Whole time."
"Legacy: I am planning to Do that. Are really not going to reconsider."
"Dan: Really appreciate your offer. I can Understand your situation but, I Have a Dream to Follow." Dan rejected politely.
"Legacy: What is Your Dream? May be we can Help each other."
"Dan: Well it is not something Grand. I just want to be the Best Chef in the Whole Marus Forest. Or.. Maybe.. someday.. If Fate allows it go outside this Marus Forest and Taste what that place has to Offer."
"Legacy: That's easy. I can Help you Become the Best Chef in the world. Not only that I can even Help you get out of this Sub-dimension." Legacy suggested.
So he can leave. Wait Wait! Dan stopped his thought process. Doubts filled his mind "Dan: What do mean by leaving this place? Are you saying you can cross the Marus Forest? And lastly what is a sub-dimension?" asked Dan in his mind.
Legacy started explaining, and Dan listened to it carefully
"Legacy: You should atleast know that the Whole Marus Forest is not a Real Space. The place you call Marus Forest is actually a sub-dimension. This is a sub-dimension that is linked to the "GIANT-BLUE-LQ04" planet's Reality. In other words, it's a sealed zone. I can also create something similar to this."
"What do you mean by "sealed zone"?" asked Dan.
"A sealed zone is a space linked to its main reality. It has its own laws and rules, but it is not independent of its main reality. This Marus forest is a medium-sized sealed zone. And I am getting multiple signatures similar to this one on this planet. They are all big and small. Life signatures are also present in some of those sealed zones. This place is called a sealed zone cause.. Nothing can enter or exit this place without a Dedicated passage." Explained That male robotic Voice.
"Dan: Now everything makes sense. Now I understand why Those Othersiders are the only ones who can come and go. Because, they have the Dedicated passage and we don't."
"Legacy: Even on my planet people used their sealed zones to do their Illegal shady Business. So, what you proposed could be a possibility." Said Legacy in Dan's mind.
Dan Always Knew there is land beyond Marus Forest. And Now.. He have a clear Answer.
"Dan: Ok, one last question. You said you could help me escape this place. Escape to where and how? Asked Dan.
"Legacy: That's simple. I will Teleport you using my Nav-crystals reserves. As to where.. I will Teleport you to Your Prime Space.. meaning directly to your planet. What I want to Find is also there. So what do you think? You accept the offer or not?" Asked Legacy.
"Dan: If I can leave this Hell hole then.. I gladly Accept your offer. By the way How long I have to stay in this white room?" Dan was amazed.
Legacy: I am not Completely Synchronized with your Physical Body yet. So Your Consciousness have to stay here for a few hours. If you are Bored, I can show you something Interesting."
As Legacy said that, The white room changed again. This time He was in a kitchen.. A Mouthwatering scene appeared. Dozens of Delicious looking dishes, are present infront of him. But Damn Heavens.. He can only watch it, can't eat it.
Not only food, Dan experienced a lot of things from Legacy's world. Be it Food, Drinks, Music or sky high Buildings or Different places in their Solar system.
"Dan: Amazing. I never Enjoyed my life This much. What else can you do?
"Legacy: A lot of things, The Sync is almost complete. After You wake up, You will have access to my interface and all my abilities." Legacy Answered proudly.
Dan made an Unexpected Friend in this place. Both Bas*ards finally came to an agreement. Their Destination may be Uncertain, But path is one. You know..
As they say.. There are no strangers in this place. Only Friends you have not met yet.
