Chapter 163: Promise of a Madman

"Help me?" Dan asked, "I wasn't aware that I specifically was in need of helping, but this planet could probably use the assist." 

Whether Dan was trying to be funny or if he was just an idiot I didn't really know, but I was still going to help the planet. 

People were standing on top of other people and forcing them down into the dirt, and crushing the life out of them when they tried to rise up. That rankled me. I didn't like it one little bit. I wasn't going to let it continue. 

<When did you become so heroic?> BB asked, chuckling slightly as he asked the question. 

The answer was simple. 

I'd become so heroic the moment I failed to be the hero. The moment I let Lara take out the entirety of Prespian city, and her father with it. 

I wasn't going to let another planet down. Not while I had the power to stop it. 

<Yeah, powers that you can't actually control at the moment,> BB pointed out.
