Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Door Beyond Code
He could feel it.
The Force.
It was growing stronger.
No... he was growing stronger.
But to us, there was no "Force."
Only the endless stream of numbers.
010101010101...
The world around him was nothing but a shifting mass of code, a sea of fate written in 1s and 0s.
Yet, to him, it was power.
He called it the Force.
And now, he could wield it with greater mastery.
But now...
What came next?
He stood alone.
We stood with him.
But in this world, there was nothing else.
Only he.
Only us.
Yet something changed.
He changed.
His form, once shaped like Obi wan began to shift.
He was no longer the Jedi from before.
His appearance faded, his features melting into a blank form.
A canvas, waiting to be painted.
But what was a canvas?
What was paint?
We did not know.
He did not ask.
He simply walked.
A single step in an endless void.
And we...
We followed.
He walked for a time that could not be measured.
Through the void.
Through the code.
Through everything and nothing at once.
And then...
Something appeared.
A structure, standing alone in the abyss of data.
A door.
But was it truly a door?
It had no frame, no walls to hold it.
Just a single, imposing barrier.
And yet, he saw it.
And so, we saw it too.
He did not hesitate.
He stepped forward.
The door, if it was a door, opened.
And so, he entered.
We tried to follow.
But we could not.
A force, a shield, blocked our way.
A barrier, invisible yet absolute.
What was a shield?
We did not know.
We only knew that it stopped us.
We could not move forward.
But he...
He turned back.
He reached out.
He touched the shield.
And the shield obeyed.
It recognized him.
It accepted him.
And in turn...
It accepted us.
The barrier faded.
We stepped forward.
We entered with him.
And beyond the door...
Was something new.
We entered the door.
Together.
He and us.
And before us..
Something new.
A structure, unlike anything we had seen before.
A machine.
No...a vehicle.
A method of transportation.
What was transportation?
We did not know.
But he did.
He understood what we could not.
And so, he stepped forward.
We followed.
And together...
We boarded the machine.
The machine activated.
It moved.
Faster than anything we had ever known.
Or rather did we ever moves?
The world of code blurred around us..
Numbers twisting, bending, reshaping into streaks of light.
The speed was unimaginable.
Can we imagine?
Can he imagine?
Even he struggled to hold on.
The forces at play protecting he and us from tearing apart.
But still...
We moved forward.
The machine carried us through the vast, unknown landscape of data.
And then...
It stopped.
We arrived.
Before us, Another door.
Larger than before.
More complex.
It pulsed with countless number..
0100101110011100
A gateway, waiting to be opened.
Could he enter?
Could we enter?
We did not know.
The door shifted.
A soft hum filled the air.
And with a single step...
He entered.
And we followed.
We entered the door.
Together.
He and us.
And before us..
Something new.
A structure, unlike anything we had seen before.
A machine.
No...a vehicle.
A method of transportation.
What was transportation?
We did not know.
