The World Council sends the Centurions to protect an anti-matter power plant in Seattle from the international terrorist, Gremlin. But Gremlin has already infiltrated the plant and detonates a bomb, releasing the anti-matter. The Centurions stop the anti-matter from doing any permanent damage, but Max ends up being trapped under the wreckage of the power plant, with Jake and Ace unable to help. Although Max escapes, he leaves the Centurions, blaming Ace & Jake's inactivity during his ordeal. Max accepts an offer to join a temporal research facility which is later attacked by the Gremlin. Max joins up with the Gremlin, hiding him from the other Centurions. Max, together with Gremlin, then ambush the rest of the Centurions. But what is Max's real agenda?
