Chapter 4: Betrayal

Geoffrey was watching over the construction of the Grinder. He went inside and saw how different it was to Yuri's Grinder. He compared them. Yuri's had bloodstained, spiked wheels that rotated to mince the person inside. His (Geoffrey's) was a kind of mint. It pressed whatever was put inside into paper-thin material; it then cut it into pieces the size of money notes; it finally coloured it to match $100 notes. Soon, all the Allies in the world will be able to build these Grinders and produce much-needed Chrono-Legionarres.

The Yuri Clone froze where he stood, so did Sergeant. Matthew had fired first so he had the advantage. The clone was erased and James stirred. He loosened his grip on the trigger and the sergeant collapsed on his knees.

James: S-sergeant. I-I-I'm sorry. I-I---

3 other Legionarres had just knocked James off his feet and pinned him. Matthew ran forward to stop them but was punched in the stomach. He began a 2 on 2 fight. The other 5 Legionarres fired at the now upright Sergeant. He froze again but was quickly erased.

Matthew: No!

He ducked a head punch and kicked out his left foot, connecting with a Legionarres ribs, giving a sickening crack. The Legionarre collapsed on the ground. Matthew stood up and fired. The 2nd Legionarre froze. Matthew held on the trigger. He suddenly froze. He felt light, the Legionarre in front of him shook his head, obviously drowsy from being suspended between here and nothingness, like Matthew was now. He could see James on the ground, frozen, and 4 Legionarres standing around him, fingers on the triggers. Matthew could tell the remaining 5 Legionarres (the last one was on the ground in pain) were shooting at him. He saw James disappear, before he too was erased from time.

Geoffrey was pleased. He had created a much-needed machine that will be a main resource in the success of regaining Europe. He walked into his office and saw it was trashed. His table was burning, all his papers were shredded, his walls were graffitied, and there was 1 thing that wasn't there before. A Virus's dart was stuck to the wall, right above the painting of the first Construction Yard.
