Chapter 6 - A New World

Jax and Mia spent the next few days pouring over the information they had on the government's portal. They knew it was a risky move, but they needed to find out what the device was capable of and what the government was planning to do with it.

After much debate, they decided to try and infiltrate the facility again. It was a dangerous move, but they knew they had to take the risk if they wanted to find out more about the portal.

They waited until nightfall and made their way back to the facility, using the cover of darkness to sneak past the security checkpoints. Once inside, they made their way to the room containing the portal.

It was even more massive than they remembered, its surface pulsing with an eerie green light. They could feel the energy emanating from it, crackling in the air around them.

Jax pulled out his camera and began taking photos, trying to capture as much information as possible. Mia was examining the control panel when she heard footsteps approaching.

"Jax," she hissed, grabbing his arm. "Someone's coming."

They quickly hid behind the portal as the door opened and several scientists entered the room. Jax and Mia listened in as they discussed their latest findings.

"We've been able to stabilize the energy levels," one of the scientists said. "But we're still having trouble with the calculations."

"We need to get this thing up and running," another said. "The higher-ups are getting impatient."

Jax and Mia exchanged worried glances. They knew they had to get out of there before they were caught, but they couldn't leave without finding out more about the portal's capabilities.

As the scientists left the room, Jax and Mia quickly made their way over to the control panel. They began examining the data, trying to make sense of the complex calculations and equations.

Suddenly, the portal hummed to life, the energy levels skyrocketing. Jax and Mia were thrown back as a massive burst of energy erupted from the device.

They could feel the world around them shifting, warping as they were pulled towards the portal's event horizon. They screamed in terror as they were sucked into the vortex, hurtling toward an unknown destination.

When they finally emerged from the portal, they found themselves in a strange and alien landscape, surrounded by towering structures and bizarre creatures they had never seen before. They had no idea where they were, but they knew one thing for sure: they were far, far from home.
