A year has passed after Torn and everybody found out I was pregnent, and now, I have a beautiful son named Marvin. He's the most cutest red head blue eyed baby I've ever had, well that's because he's the first! Anyway, Erol won the bet! But Torn, Jak, Alex, everybody haven't seen Marvin yet... I had so much attention on Marvin that I never really thaught about the guys. Good thing Marvie (That's his nick name) can walk around now! He started an early 6 months!

I walked into the Naughy Ottsil holding Marvin's hand not knowing what to expect. Torn was the only one there. He didn't shave, so he had a little bit of a 4 o' clock shadow. He also looked plainly exausted, just sitting at the bar table slowching quietly weaping in missery. He had a few old cuts and scrapes over his hands, and his clothing was torn slightly.
He looked up at me slowly, and came to at full attention. "Laona...?" He asked as if he saw a ghost, but wasn't afraid. I replied calmly, "Hey..."

I looked around in concern about the surroundings, and how everything fell apart. "Torn.. What.. Happened?" I walked closer to Torn, picked up Marvin, and sat down with him on my lap. Torn looked down at Marvin. "Who's thi-" He started to say, then he remembered, " Oh yea... You were pregnent last time I saw you." He finished saying sounding sad.

I nodded looking down, "His name is Marvin. I thaught about how such a brave son he could be, and remembered Jak and you guys. It's a close related name from Mar." Torn gave me a weak smile, and then couphed loudly. A few little pieces of the ceiling then fluttered off, mainly debris and dust. It was cold, and I looked at my surroundings again in concern, then looked straight at Torn again, "What happened? Why is it so cold? What's wrong here...?"

Torn sighed supporting himself on his side against the table. " A week ago, we were all in battle against a large group of both combined KG robots, blast bots, dark precursers, and metal heads attacking this particular part of the city... Most of us... Didn't survive." He said sadly and rouphly. My heart dropped, thinking the worst, "Who...? Who didn't survive?"

Torn then closed his eyes, and pulled his head back. He then re-opened his eyes, " Most of the guys from the other HQ.. None that we personaly knew. Exept that.." He he stopped hesitantly. Then continued, "Ashlin and Jak never reported back to us..." He sounded like he was using his whole entire strength to hold back tears.

I closed my eyes, and Marvin was begining to fall asleep. "Jak is still alive... I can sence it... I just know it." I then said. Torn blinked a few times, " I've been waiting here for quite some time.. Just waiting. Everybody else is in the hospital, and I managed to get a green eco pack after the whole entire thing." He said quietly. I looked down, and felt guilty about abandoning my friends. "I'm sorry. I should've been there... If I would've been informed and prepaired to fight, neither Ashlin or Jak would be in this situation. And Erol's troops would help too if I would've talked him int-" Torn inturrupted, "It wasn't your fault. It was mine." He said angrily to himself.

Then he explained, " I told everybody to split up... and there was this big explosion near where they were at..." I put my hand over his shoulder. "It's ok, Torn. It's ok." I said trying to confort him. "It's not ok... Alex is gone too.. Shit, she's the only close family I got." He demanded. I frouned, and looked down, and cradeled Marvin. I sighed, and started to walk out. Then Torn stopped me by saying, "Laona... Why do you think the world is so creul and hardly ever merciful?" I paused, and said while walking out, "Because man is its own enimy."
