[PART 15]
At the rocky end of the cave, a lightblue shining and totally flat wall can be seen. It’s definitely not made by natural forces. Pearson shakes is head: “Thought this day can’t become more crazy..”
Everyone is moving towards the shiny structure as there is it seems clear that there is no way up anymore. Neytiri is the first one reaching the wall and starting to study it while avoid touching it. She knees down, trying to sense or smell something.
“Lets try to get a way in since the air isnt getting better here!” barks Pearson as he ramms his ellbow against the wall. He instantly collapses, losing conciousness.
“Colonel..!” Rodriguez jumps to Pearson, shaking his head as he’s trying to get him awake.
Neytiri turns her head, approaching Pearson as his eyes suddenly opens: “You human always act quick.. quick.. not think!” She looks down to the Colonel annoyed but reaching out her hand to get him back on his feet. Jake closes in and pat Neytiri’s arm. She looks at Jake with sparkling eyes: “.. but somethimes I like.”
“Lets avoid being a skxawng today.” cautions Norm “We‘ve lost already much of our equipment and look at us.”
Pearson looks up to Norm: “At least you get carried around safely on Trak’ahs back...”
“One Moment, please. Do you think I wouldn’t want to walk on my own?!”
Pearson stands up, joggling the dust off his ripped clothes: “Listen my boy. You still got your nice exomask with you, having a comfy seat while our clock is TICKING.”
Jake intervenes “Stop guys. Lets find a way to get in and stop arguing!”
Pearson and Norm are looking away from each other demonstratively while Rodriguez picks up a small stone, tossing it at the wall. The stone gets deflected soundless, despite the structure appears as solid as diamond.
“I’m gonna ramm a rock into that damn wall if it doesnt let us go in now...” murmurs Pearson impantiently.
Trak’ah and Neytiri sneaking along the wall like cats, their hands exposed to the wall but not touching it. “Txing tsa..!” Trak’ah looses patience an steps back, leaving Neytiri alone at the wall. She opens her eyes and walks straight to Jake: “Only you have allowancy to open gate.”
Jake shakes his head in disbelief: “Me? I don’t even get you!”
Neytiri put her left hand on Jake’s arm and points her right index finger at Jake’s forehead: “Inside..! Only you can, Jake.”
“Better still today...” barks Pearson impatiently, while caughing.
“Fnu!” shouts Trak’ah while raising his hand energetically.
Jake closes his eyes as everyone is staring at him expectantly.
His eyes opens: “I cant, there’s nothing!”
Neytiri takes his arm: “Mawey...” her voice is calm and low.
Jake closes his eyes again, apparently trying to concentrate. He reaches for Neytiri’s arm and starts to step towards the wall. Total silence as the rest of the group is staring at Jake, who walks slowly alongside the wall, his eyes closed. Then he stops, he moves his hand .. and touches the wall. A part of the wall disappears, leaving a round object in the center in front of another layer of the blueish structure. The round object has two moulded contours, two hands. One long hand with four digits and one smaller hand with five digits.
“Ohhhh myyy...” says Norman with a deeply stirred voice. “A hand of a Na’vi and a human. I can’t believe that... its freak’in me!”
Rodriguez’s jaw drops: “It’s supposed to be opened by human and na’vi together... it’s like someone asks us to cooporate, ...”
“...like we actually have a common destiny.” adds Norm, still with an emotional voice.
Jake tries to squeeze his hand into the form, his five digit hand is too big. “Pearson or Rodriguez...I need one of your hand here!”
Neytiri looks at Jake, he nods and so she puts her hand into the form. Nothing happens.
Pearson arrives and straightly put his hand into the form. Everyone is staring at the form with their fullest attention as blue shiny light emerges off the form.
Everyone is staring at the form with their fullest attention as blue shiny light emerges off the form. Neytiri jumps back instictively.
The center of the wall just disappears, creating a large arc towards the room behind.
It unveils something what none of the group ever could expect on Pandora or somewhere else.
They step into a giant hall. Right behind them the wall closes instantly after the last one passed through. The walls are shiny and slightly reflective within a diffuse blueish light.
The center of the round-shaped hall contains a large floating discus-shaped object, approximately 70 meters long and 30 meters wide. It floats above something like a bassin filled with a black fluid. At every 90° of the massive hall, a white fibrelike globes sits attached. It looks like the same material as the white branch was made of.
Neytiri and Trak’ah are sinking on her knees, their hands covering their foreheads.
“Eywaaa... fit tseng..!” Norm slides off Trak’ahs back and lands on his butt.
Then a shiny bright light appears in front of them for a very short moment, leaving behind a tall humanoid creature.
