Torn and I took an air train to Freedom HQ. We were in the room where Torn always was before the 'incident'. In that room was a large table that projected a map. Torn turned on the projector, and it showed a booger shape around a sphere.

Torn: The next assault is coming through the slums. A large scale invasion, but I doubt there will be anymore drop pods. But we're down to 123 units, and that's not good.
Janovah: Torn, remember how last night you told me there was a Krimzon Guard war factory that my father shut down? And that the Freedom League confiscated all the deathbots?
Torn: Uh-huh.
Janovah: Are they operational?
Torn: They should be. That's a brilliant idea!
Janovah: How much time do we have left?
Torn: They should make contact within twenty-four hours.
Janovah: Can we have the army ready by then?
Torn: We have no choice but to try.
Janovah: We need more time.
Torn: That's all the time we have, we don't have any other choice.
Janovah: We can't hold through all of these assaults. We need a way to destroy them now! What are their postions?
Torn: There's seven of them, plus one control ship. If we can knock it out, we can weaken the last seven and take them out with air strike. We captured a Dark Maker vessle. If we find someone to commandeer that and fly into the control ship, we can rid the world of the menace for good.
Janovah: And of course by someone you mean me.
Torn: Why? Why does it always have to be you?
Janovah: It just does...
Torn: We might not last long enough to have the ship ready.
Janovah: I have to do this...
Torn: Why? Why throw away your life?
Janovah: Because of what they did to me.
Torn: You mean Rin?
Janovah: Yeah...
Torn: You have to let it go, Janovah.

He placed his hand on my shoulder.

Torn: Don't let it haunt you for the rest of your life.
Janovah: He RAPED me! He put that thing inside of me!
Torn: Don't let Rin control your life.
Janovah: Nobody is in control of my life anymore. I don't need anybody!
Torn: You're letting it consume you, you're being controlled by your own emotions. Don't let it destroy who you are.
Janovah: Nobody knows who I am.
Torn: I do.

I was getting mad. Who did he think he was?

Janovah: What do you know about me?
Torn: The Janovah I know is compassionate, the Janovah I know will do the right thing. I love you, Janovah.
Janovah: The Janovah you know is long gone.
Torn: Don't you know who you are anymore?

But I just turned to him briefly. He looked like a combination of sad, disappointed, and hurt. Then I jus turned away and left, slowly. I stopped in the hall, sat down, and leaned against the wall. Torn's words echoed in my mind. You're letting it consume you, you're being controlled by your own emotions. Don't let it destroy who you are. I thought to myself, Who am I? What is my purpose? Why am I here? I got up, and stretched. I wasn't very fair to Torn at all. He's right-I have to let it go. I turned and went back into the room. I saw him, his shirt was partially undone, and he was looking at charts and maps. He looked up and saw me.

Janovah: I'm sorry. I'm so lost these days.

I walked over to him. He touched my face, on my cheek. I put put a hand on his shoulder. He used his other hand and put mine to his chest. I felt something there, along with his heartbeat. I grasped it and pulled it into the light-my seal.

Torn: That's who you are. Never forget.

I then pulled out the ring Torn gave me.

Janovah: What kind of eco is this crystal made from? It's clear.
Torn: Pure eco. The only eco that can undo the damage of dark eco. But it's so rare, it's impossible to find. Only in the solid ice of Snowy Mountain. Nobody's been there in ages. Ask Daxter about it, shit, he was in the past, he's been there.

I remember Torn telling me about that too. He told it like it happened so long ago. Hell-it WAS long ago. Torn pulled my hand and the seal back close to his chest.

Torn: I wear it close to my heart everyday.

But then I heard screaming. It was Daxter.

Daxter: AAAH!!! BUILDING ONE FIRE!!! RUN!!!

Indeed we saw a curl of smoke enter the door. We hurried out of the building. We saw the source of the flames on the first floor. It was around a corner and it engulfed a large portion of the building. We got out of the door, and we saw everybody but Kat. Dash came to us, looking panicked.

Dash: Okay, you and Torn...that's everybody but Kat.
Torn: Is she still inside?
Dash: I think so.
Daxter: Don't worry, Orange Lightning is on it!

Daxter sprinted back into the building. The minutes felt like hours. Soon the whole building was burning. Finally they controlled the flames. I saw a Freedom League guard escorted Kat in the street where we were. I ran over.

Janovah: Kat? Are you okay?
Kat: Yes, yes I'm fine!
Janovah: What about Daxter? Where's Daxter?

Torn came up behind me. The guard didn't answer. I knew what that meant...No. Not Daxter! Why Daxter? I threw myself around Torn and cried. He kept saying "Shh" over and over, trying to calm me down.

Torn: This was no accident. We're in trouble, without an HQ we could lose this war very fast.

I had to admit. We were in trouble.
