Chapter 6: Grinder Sabotage
Geoffrey stood stock-still, listening to what Virus Tanya had to say.
Tanya: Now Geoffrey, how to crush this little workshop you have here? Your Grinder is quite impressive, but it's not operational yet is it?
Geoffrey: No, Tanya.
While Tanya was talking he was trying to devise a plan. The Brute's were always slowed down by the transformation, so why shouldn't Tanya be from hers?
Tanya: Now, Dugan, what has Geoffrey told you about this Grinder?
Former President Dugan: He hasn't told me anything, the trial was today.
Tanya: You were always a stubborn pig when you were President. You haven't changed General, you haven't changed.
Dugan must have been thinking what Geoffrey was thinking because he made a sudden movement with his hand and knocked Tanya's gun to the side. Geoffrey lunged forward and put Tanya in a sleeper hold. Tanya struggled but not as much as the real Tanya would have, the transformation had its defects. Tanya slipped out of Geoffrey's grasp and fell, unconscious, to the floor. Dugan got up and stared at Tanya, a look of worry in his face. A shadowed figure walked into the room.
Figure: Well done Dugan, well done Geoffrey. Tanya has been weakened by the transformation, but she is still an excellent sniper.
Dugan: Who are you?
Figure: Why General, I thought you would recognise a fellow General like yourself.
Dugan: Carval. H-how did you survive?
Carval: I'm sure Tanya would be delighted to tell you when you wake up.
Carval pulled out a syringe and stepped forward.
Geoffrey: NO!
Geoffrey ran straight at Carval, who was off-balance and fell over. Geoffrey kept on running, thinking only about his Grinder and what's going to happen to it.

The R.L.'s stood with there guns charged.
R.L. 1: How did you get here!?!?!
Matthew: How else? By chrono-shifting. And I thought this was a training facility for the intellectual.
R.L. 1: Kill them but don't fire your weapons, they won't stay in Time-space.
Being Elites, Matthew's and James' gear was much lighter and easier to move in, giving them the agility they had if they were wearing their normal uniform. 3 Legionarres ran at Matthew while 3 more ran at James. Matthew ducked and rolled from a punch thrown from a R.L. and tripped over another 1 with a good sweep. He stood up and punched 1 in the jaw, dislocating it. He followed on by a kick to the gut and an elbow in the back of the neck. The other 2 ran at him, he pulled out his Virus gun and shot the closest 1, hitting him in the neck. He kept on running, expanding then exploding. Blood flecked Matthew's helmet as the 3rd 1 ran at him. He wiped the blood off his helmet and waited. The R.L. jumped and threw a head kick which narrowly missed Matthew's head as he lunged sideways. He spun around and kicked the Legionarre in the head. The Legionarre staggered for a bit and then was knocked down by another kick in the head. James seemed to be going quite well too. He finished the last Legionarre off with a punch in the nose. They both turned around and fired at 2 Legionarres. They both exploded and the gas killed another Legionarre. The last 1 left had been faster and moved out of the way of the gas, but was still flecked with blood. He charged at James who stood steady. As soon as the R.L. reached James both he and Matthew chrono-shifted into the air and kicked the R.L.'s head in, killing him instantly. They landed on their feet, breathing heavier than normal.
James: I think we better stop the rest from going anywhere.
Matthew and James stripped the unconscious Legionarres uniform, leaving them in their Allied uniform. Matthew hooked up on the radio.
Matthew: Legionarre to base, I repeat, Legionarre to base.
Static.
Matthew: We have a situation. 8 Legionarres were in league with Yuri and are here, 7 alive.
Now a different sound filled the room.
Dugan: Carval, what do you want? How is Yuri controlling you? You're stronger than this.
Carval: Oh no Dugan, you're wrong. I'm not being controlled. The blast made me see that there is a more powerful source, more powerful than the Allied Nations. And I want you!
Static filled the room as the radio died.
James: We better get to America, General Dugan could be dead soon!
With that, the 2 Legionarre Elites chrono-shifted to Washington D.C. Allied HQ.

Geoffrey ran to the construction room, thinking only of his Grinder, all the work he had put into it and how the success of the war lied in it. He entered the room and saw the Grinder intact. He entered it and saw all the bits and pieces still there. The compressor was still hooked up to the Power Plant inside the bulletproof glass. Geoffrey heard clinking as someone ran over him. He looked up and saw nothing. He climbed the stairs and looked at all the other compressors, all still hooked up to the Power Plant on the bottom floor. More clinking and Geoffrey say shadows on the different levels. He heard a sharp tap on the wall next to him. He turned around sharply.
Geoffrey: Chrono Ivan! NOOOOOO!
He ran at the Chrono Ivan, tackling him to the floor. Geoffrey punched and punched the Chrono Ivans head into the floor, spraying blood over the metal grate floor and his fists. Explosions tore at his precious Grinder above his head. Debris flew around him. He just wanted to rip out the Ivans heart and throw it at him. He wanted to tear and rip the Ivan to shreds for what he was doing to the Grinder. He just wanted to kill them all. They were destroying his work. Tears rolled down his eyes as he punched into the Ivan's head. Tears of anguish, anguish of his work, of him. His work would be for nothing. He stood up and kicked at the dead Ivan. An explosion ripped through the metal above his head. Debris ripped through Geoffrey who died defending his work, his life... his country!
