;Summary
They hurriedly leave the Raven tunnels, and none of them speak as they work back at base. Jax wants to rescue Brigand, but they don’t know where he is. They use the boomerang’s signature frequency to send a message to Brigand using morse code. After an entire night of waiting, they finally get a response. Brigand sends a signal back, telling them he’s in the palace and that they need to come fast and bring mitosis. Paige gets them into Lifeforce’s palace, and they soon find Brigand, who has escaped his captors but is wounded. They all enter Lifeforce’s throne room, where everything is dipped in gold. Lifeforce greets them calmly, and walks down to them. Jax charges his sword with mitosis, then throws it, sinking the sword into Lifeforce’s chest. Lifeforce drops to the floor, but he doesn’t dissapear as he’s supposed to. Life gets to his feet, then gives a signal. Hundreds of Ravens pour into the room, leveling weapons at the Reckoners. Brigand walks forward to stand next to Lifeforce, revealing that he betrayed them. Lifeforce makes Brigand a Raven, healing his disfigured face and other wounds. Brigand says he was afraid of dying, so he made a deal with Lifeforce. Lifeforce explains that because of Brigand’s warning, he had Languish negate the mitosis motivator’s powers.
Jax wants to duel Brigand, but Lifeforce offers to fight him instead. Lifeforce tells Languish via radio to stand down, leaving him vulnerable. Jax charges Lifeforce and attacks, having initial success against the Epic. Jax charges up mitosis and presses it against his neck, and Lifeforce starts to fade. Mitosis overheats, then breaks, leaving Lifeforce still alive. Lifeforce defeats Jax aided by a sudden burst of strength, and shatters Shiloh into multiple pieces. With no other choice, the Reckoners surrender. Ravens take the others away, and Jax is sent to a room to talk with Lifeforce alone.
