Geoffrey was suddenly engulfed in an intense pain that consumed his body in a red aura pressing down on his skin. The metallic parts slowly began to mutate deep in his body and sunk into his bone becoming bigger and stronger. The pain was growing but Geoffrey's previously minor mutations were becoming significantly more obvious. Geoffrey's aura forced his chest to convulse from the pressure and he let out a roar of pain as he slowly became bigger, fiercer and more metallic. The accumulation of transformation toxin in the room was capable of finishing the transformation that Geoffrey had began weeks ago. He was becoming the full monster that destiny had set for him.

A hulking metallic menace of steel and granite crawled out of the room with obscene strength attracting the room's walls towards him as he left. The Unknown had gotten the intruder alert from Francis and was rushing towards the toxin room with his extreme speed and let out a powerful punch to Geoffrey's chest as he began his approach. The punch from The Unknown's tendrils managed to hit him back against the wall with surprising strength. The Unknown had finally got everything into place with Chief, this was a perfect money making strategy and had full government support; they weren't about to let some kid ruin it. Geoffrey knew that his friends were in pain and this was becoming much more than just work for them, it was a tourist trap prison and he was going to save them.

The new Geoffrey got up from the crater in the wall he was lying in and began taking steps with huge impact towards The Unknown. Even leaving the room, bits of the transformation toxin were still increasing his power. With this increase, Geoffrey kicked The Unknown deeper into The Monstrous Creek. Unlike Geoffrey, The Unknown managed to catch themself by sticking a tentacle into the metal earth below them and digging until their whole body was forced to halt. Francis managed to observe the whole fight from the observation tower parked behind the toxin room and was trying to message the others in a desperate search for safety.

"Guys, we need backup! Whoever this is, their fighting The Unknown and... winning," Francis whispered into the intercom. He was scared for his life and it came to it's head as he uttered the final word, he had alway thought of The Unknown as a bodyguard to protect this project. To think that the last line of defense might be failing was terrifying, or it was until he heard Chief's voice reply.

"On it."

Marissa and Jasmine had arrived in Greenland 2 days after they had originally planned after numerous delays from dragons crashing planes and airport security having none of it, they had to wait until the matter was sorted. But, that time had given Jasmine some time to meet who the awake Marissa was and explain the situation to her. There was an immediate distrust and a fight began to break out (nothing physical just an argument) but eventually Marissa accepted the invitation to get out of town while she still could. Jasmine's explanation of Chief's tourism trap really brought out the worst parts of the idea and Marissa was pretty sure she wouldn't enjoy living in it any more than Jasmine enjoyed helping with it. Francis had mass texted Jasmine, immediately annoyed before calming down and Jasmine had to try and communicate to him without giving any location clues.

Now that they were in Greenland they tried to look for a hotel to stay at.


Authors Note: This is where the story ends. It is not a very satisfying ending but this is how it goes. If there is enough interest a sequel will be created to finish the story, but for now the solution is unsatisfying
