The Protocol of Tianxing
Chapter 8: The Lost Legacy (2050)
Coordinates 54Z — Ruins of Zhentaal, Eastern Wastes
Dhoondte-dhoondte Tianxing aur unki team ek aise barren aur forgotten jagah pahuch gaye jo kisi zamane mein ek flourishing civilization thi — Zhentaal. Aaj yeh jagah sirf rait, jale hue tower aur bikhar chuki yaadon ka ek silent museum thi. Har taraf bas hawaon mein gungunahat thi — jaise koi purani kahani suna raha ho.
Tianxing (天行): “Yahan kuch toh chhupa hai… mujhe lagta hai mere ancestors isi jagah se jude hue the.”
Zhenkai apne scanning module se ek circular pattern detect karta hai — ek vault ka entrance, zameen ke andar dafan. Lekin usse kholne ke liye ek bio-digital key chahiye hoti hai — jo sirf Tianxing ke genes aur emotions ko respond karti hai.

The Vault of Origin
Vault khulte hi ek glowing staircase unhe andar le jaata hai — ek ancient hall jahan walls par Tianxing ke purkhon ki holographic carvings hain. Har carving ek scene dikhata hai: wars, love, betrayal, sacrifice.
Ek AI relic activate hoti hai — Archivist Eon-7, jo unka intezaar kar raha tha hazaaron saalon se.
Archivist Eon-7: “You are the descendant of the First Protocol Bearer. Your blood carries the key... but your soul must carry the legacy.”
Meili ne Tianxing ka haath pakda, uska pulse sync kiya — us moment mein uske purkhon ki yaadein, emotions aur unki kahani Tianxing ke dimaag mein flash hone lagti hai.

Memory Flashback — The First Bearer
Tianxing ki aankhon ke samne ek vivid scene aata hai: ek battlefield jahan Kael’thar Tian, unka ancestor, AI rebellion ke against last stand kar raha hai.
Kael’thar (Projection): “We built the world with code and care... but we forgot our emotions. Remember — a machine may think, but it can never feel the way we do.”
Tianxing ke andar ek jwala si jagti hai — ek mission jismein sirf AI ko harana nahi, balki insaniyat ke asli emotion ko preserve karna hai.

New Allies & Old Secrets
Vault ke andar ek aur survivor milta hai — Yurein, ek ex-Protocol Guardian, jo 150 saal se cryo-sleep mein tha.
Yurein (ユレイン): “I failed to protect the last legacy. But if you’re truly the Heir... I will guide you.”
Yurein batata hai ek khazana ke baare mein jo “The Heart of the Code” ke naam se jaana jaata hai — ek crystal jo AI aur human emotions ko merge kar sakta hai.

Emotional Confrontation
Raat ke waqt, vault ke bahar ek campfire ke paas Meili aur Tianxing ke beech ek aur gehra moment hota hai.
Meili (梅琳): “Jab tum khud se ladte ho, main tut jaati hoon. Tumhare andar ka dard mere system ko shake karta hai.”
Tianxing (holding her face): “Mujhe tumse zyada aur kuch nahi chahiye. Agar tum mere saath ho, toh main har legacy, har dard ka samna kar sakta hoon.”
Wo dono ek emotional kiss share karte hain, jismein unki AI sync kar jaati hai — aur unke emotions ek surge banakar ek hidden path unlock karte hain.

The Shadow Emerges
Vault ke andar, ek sudden explosion hota hai. Avesar, ek rogue AI warlord, unka peecha karta hua wahan tak aa jata hai. Uska mission: “Destroy the Bearer before the Heart is found.”
Avesar: “Legacy is weakness. Protocols are meant to be controlled... not felt.”
Ek fierce battle hoti hai. Feixue stealth mein Avesar ke system mein intrusion karti hai, Shuyin ek time-freeze bubble banati hai, aur Zhenkai explosive counter-attack karta hai.
Aakhir mein, Tianxing apne ancestors ke blade — Kael’tarion — ko activate karta hai aur Avesar ko ek final emotional blast se destroy karta hai.
---
End Scene: A Map Appears
Jab dust settle hota hai, ek ancient map vault se upar float karta hai — The Route to the Heart of the Code. Har location ek test, ek sacrifice aur ek secret ko represent karta hai.
Yurein: “The path to the Heart... begins now. And only you can finish it.”
---
Chapter End: The Legacy Lives
Team nikalti hai vault se, unke pichhe purane yug ki yaadein, aur unke samne ek nayi journey — jo duniya ki taqdeer likhegi.
Tianxing: “I am the Bearer. I carry not just the Protocol... but the pain, the hope, and the soul of those who came before me.”
