Chapter Twenty One - An Idea to Change the World

"What the hell was that?" Connor said quietly as another tremor shook the entire room, this one felt the strongest yet.

"It's the beginning of a New Dawn; Connor" Burton said proudly "Today is the day the world changes".

Burton stepped back and turned to face the hundreds of now open anomalies that were stood in front of him. Then ground started shaking ever more slightly; and Becker could tell this wasn't just a single tremor; it was more of an earthquake. A light layer of dust drifted down slowly from the ceiling, and the team could hear the entire building begin to groan where the steel beams were bending; the ARC team knew the warehouse wasn't going to be able to take much more of this. For a split second; Burton looked slightly a nervous, he then turned to face Helen Cutter, who was smiling.

"Do you think we should decrease the pressure?" Burton said, pacing towards the workstation and glancing at the screens, he then looked back out towards the anomalies.

"Of course not" Helen said sharply; she then turned to the technicians "Increase the power to 100%" watching as one of the technicians pushed forward a lever on the table. It was then Connor noticed the locking mechanism whirl louder, and a strange smell of burning plastic floated through the air.

"Philip, it's going to explode" Connor shouted; while the others looked on helplessly at the anomalies, none of them knew what to do. Burton was about to answer when he noticed a small crack appear in the ground just next to his feet; bending down, he slowly inspected the crack; running his finger along it just as the crack began to grow in length.

"Matt; we need to get out of here" Becker shouted; but the ARC team leader ignored he military captain and ran towards where Helen was stood.

"No you mad bitch- you can't do this" Matt roared, just as Helen turned to face him with a handgun in her hand, aiming straight at Matts face.

"I'll think you'll find I can do whatever the hell I like" Helen sneered; even above the noise her voice still sent shivers running down Jenny's spine.

"Increase the power to 200%" Helen said to the technician; who looked uneasy. "Do it now" Helen said quietly; giving the young technician a death stare; he hesitated for a fraction of a second longer before pushing the lever forward again.

Matt stepped away from Helen and back towards where the other members of the team were stood; it was then they seemed to notice what Burton was doing.

"That wasn't there a minute ago" Abby said, taking a step towards the large crack in the ground; but Connor placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her.

It was in that moment that time seemed to momentarily stop; and everything in the room seemed to go fuzzy, and then so many things happened at once.

The team looked up in time to see a large, earthshaking explosion rip through the far end of the warehouse; they felt the ground shake as red and orange flames tore into the air and bits of metal, plastic and concrete fill the air around them. Then the anomalies began to grow brighter and brighter; the room filled with an almost beautiful glow. Then the room darkened and the crack that Burton had been examining began to widen; small rocks and the concrete floor began to tumble into the ever growing chasm that was slowly forming. Burton slowly backed away from the fissure that was opening right in front of him; he then looked towards where Helen was stood. He watched as the technicians were fighting to control the ever growing unstable anomalies; and he knew they were failing. Sparks and smoke rose into the air from the large console that was stood in the corner. Then Philip turned back to the anomalies; he saw the flames rising up the walls of the warehouse; then part of the roof slowly fell to the ground; sunlight flooding in the room.

"What have I done" he whispered slowly.

Helen looked around her; all of her hard work was being destroyed and she knew there was nothing she could do. Slowly putting her hand in her pocket; she pulled out a device which would mean she would be able to flee the destruction of New Dawn. She looked down at the anomaly opener in her hand, she pressed the power button and felt the device power into life. From across the room, Matt looked around in awe; before regaining his composure and turning to his team.

"We need to get out, now. This whole buildings coming down" Matt shouted, the others nodded in agreement. They then stepped back towards the door; just as the anomalies began spinning and growing smaller and smaller. Jenny turned just in time to see Helen point something into the air in front of her; and then a glowing anomaly appeared; Helen took one last glance, looking Jenny in the eye.

"Your not going anywhere you murdering bitch" Jenny shouted, anger flaring up inside of her; she made to run towards the anomaly, but before she had even moved, Helen had stepped through the anomaly, and disappearing from sight. Cursing out loud, Jenny turned to the team "Helens gone" she cried to Matt, who nodded in acknowledgement.

"Right; Becker, get Abby and Jenny out. Wait by the cars" Matt shouted; turning from Becker to Connor "I need your help with something" Matt said, looking Connor in the eye; he nodded.

"Wait, you need to get out as well" Abby said, tears forming in her eyes as she looked at Connor, who couldn't look her in the eye.

"Abby, I cant; I have to stop this or were all gonna die" Connor said, stepping forwards and placing on soft kiss on Abby's forehead. He then nodded to Becker; who slowly, but forcefully put his arm round Abby's shoulder and led her out of the warehouse. Jenny gave Matt and Connor a meaningful look, they acknowledged it with a small nod; the two men then watched as Jenny also jogged out of the groaning warehouse.

Matt and Connor then turned to look at the destruction happening all around them.

"How the hell are we supposed to stop it?" Connor said, looking at Matt in the eye. The older man looked serious for a moment before turning to Connor with strange grin on his face.

"I have an idea"
