a slight problem...

who: Jack and melissa
where: hangar 23
when: just after being called back
"Come on, its late!" Melissa called over the rails into Jack s
Gauntlet, he hadn't made it very far in.
"Not yet!" Jack called back, "I will do this!" he said, swinging at
a drone robot in front of him, his sword clanged against the side of
it, and did nothing.
Jack yelled in pain as the arm of the robot swung round and threw
him into the wall, he got up quickly, as it charged. Rolling around
behind it, Jack stood up, and swung his sword with all the power he
could, it would've been enough, if he had any depth perception, the
tip of the sword made contact with the wall before it got to the
robot, and he was once again thrown around.
"I can't even get passed the first test..." Jack said, kneeling
there.
"enough!" he shouted, all the robots heard him, and obeyed. They
retreated into the corners, and turned themselves off. Jack limped
back up to Melissa.
"I Can't do this anymore." Jack said, about to fling the sword into
the corner, but stopped. He instead placed it on the side, and
wrote a note.
- Chris, look after this blade, it has served me well, Jack.
and walked out, Melissa close behind.
"are you ok?" she asked, trying to catch up to him, but he seemed to
be walking faster than usual. Melissa ran to catch up, and held his
arm, pulling him back.
"wait, tell me whats wrong!" She said, trying to stop him. Jack
turned round, and looked at her.
"I was Phoenix Fire, there was NOTHING of me in there for a whole
year!" he said, finally realising. His thinking ability had began
to return.
"oh i don't know about that.." Melissa said, cocking her head to one
side, and pulling herself close to him, and keeping him slow.
"i can't take it anymore!" Jack shouted, then turned to Holly.
"Holly, find Phil, and give him my resignation, i can't uphold
security like this!" he shouted, and punched the wall next to the
console, and groaned in pain.
He shouted as loud as he could, and began to walk off, but he was
confronted by Melissa, who hugged him. "you'll get through it" she
said, "I'll make sure of it." she added, Jack looked over the top
of her, and put his hand on her head. "I can't take it..." he said,
softly. "Why couldn't i leave well enough alone, and just die when
i did." he said to himself, a tear appearing in the corner of his
eye. He hugged Melissa back, and they walked off to their quarters.
