Jack couldn't come out of this dread as his mind kept repeating the words "we haven't given up".
When Eugeen said "we", Jack instantly knew that it was the kidnapping group that kidnapped him, and took all of his powers away. Jack was so scared that day, that he screamed himself hoarse, and so he couldn't scream when they were sapping the powers out of him, even though it hurt like hell. That time, he felt his internal organs rumble all out of place and felt like he wanted to die 100 times over, rather than take the torturous pain.
So after he had his powers sapped, they kicked him out like he was trash, sending him to walk home, vowing to himself with so much hate that day, that he will completely destroy the organisation. After 1 day of continuous walking, he fainted. He was so exhausted. He thought he was dead... Until, when he woke up, he was in his bed? Was that all a dream? He thought back then. But, however, it wasn't a dream. He had to accept reality and start fresh. He started going back to school and classes, but ever since that one day, where everyone challenged him, and lost to every one, even the weakest in the class, he couldn't hold his head high in school anymore. When he got back home, he was beaten by Grace because she heard someone talking about it, so she ended up beating him.
So after all that happened, Jack was still training his body by running and strength building exercises.
Anyway, flicking all these memories coming back to him, one by one, the dread still remained in his eyes. But this made his fighting spirit more passionate and lively. Even desire filled his eyes, overcoming the dread. The desire... to get stronger. And he knew just how to do it...
