Jack:
In the heart of the storm, where the thunder roars,
And the lightning dances across the sky,
I stand, a solitary figure,
Defiant against the raging tempest.

(He pauses, his voice rising with intensity.)

For too long, we've been shackled by fear,

Bound by the chains of doubt and hesitation.
But today, today marks the dawn of change,
The birth of a new era, forged in fire!

(His voice softens, filled with determination.)

 We will rise from the ashes,
Like a phoenix, soaring high above.
No obstacle shall hinder our path,
No darkness shall cloud our vision.

(With a sudden burst of energy, he raises his fist.)

For we are the architects of our destiny,

The masters of our fate!
And with unwavering resolve,
We shall conquer whatever lies ahead!

(He takes a deep breath, his eyes blazing with passion.)

So let the winds howl,

And the rains pour down upon us.
For we are warriors,
And nothing can break our spirit!
