Cameron's Revenge

by ReaganCaseyFan

Set 8 years after the end of The Future Cameron, the Connor Family and allies face yet another series of challenges from Skynet and other threats to the future they are building for TechCom. Always unashamed of her machine nature, Cameron has grown weary of the threat to her John and her family. It has become personal for the beautiful, one-of-a-kind Terminator. Jameron as well.

The Past…

Despite their best efforts, the Connor family failed to prevent Judgment Day. John and Cameron graduated from high school (See Cameron Grows Up) and determined to control their lives and destiny as much as possible, set out to become independent. Cameron begins a successful career as a ballerina and John attends the local community college. Despite Sarah and Derek's initial objections, the unusual couple manages to marry (See Cameron and John's Wedding – a stand alone story).

Ellison left the FBI to head up security for Catherine Weaver (a T-1000 opposed to Skynet), the CEO of Zeira Corp and to serve as the mentor for her Terminator son, John Henry. Ellison serves as a moral and religious guide for John Henry, a genius Terminator who possesses a highly developed moral conscience thanks to Ellison, and Weaver's human daughter, Savannah (older than in the television series). The deeply religious Ellison even manages to have a somewhat positive influence on the Machiavellian Weaver.

Judgment Day has come and the war with Skynet and the Machines has begun. TechCom wages war against Skynet in the former state of California. Cameron and John adopt a young girl Cameron names Hailey, much to the delight of Sarah. John is the commander of TechCom. Cameron leads a unit of Terminators who have developed free will and despise Skynet. Known as the Silver Brigade, under Cameron's leadership, this unit time and again saves TechCom from annihilation.

Captain (formerly Sgt.) Wilhelm, an advanced and modified T-800, serves as Cameron's second in command until receiving his own command, TechCom's first airborne unit. Savannah, like so many others after Judgment Day, was swept up in the events of the early days of the war and joined TechCom.

Through an unusual set of circumstances, Catherine Weaver, Ellison, John Henry and Savannah are all reunited after seeking out TechCom. Catherine manages to repair her damaged relationships with her two children. Ellison is happy to be reunited with the "fighting priest", Father Hidalgo, who prior to Judgment Day married Cameron and John.

Rounding out the friends and family of the Connor/Reese clan are Sgt. Brighton, a one-armed Marine and poker buddy of Derek, John, Capt. Wilhelm, the Old Man and The Assassin. The Assassin is a T-600 with an intense hatred of Skynet and all machines controlled by Skynet. Known to have over a thousand confirmed Terminator kills to his credit.

Mary and Grace, Cameron's high school classmates who are also ballerinas (See Cameron Grows Up) are reunited with their close friend. These former Skynet slave laborers escape from a labor camp and with a group of refugees seek sanctuary at TechCom. The unsuspecting duo discover Cameron's true nature, a secret Cameron had kept from her two close girlfriends.

Weaver, despite her manipulative, scheming nature, is forced to turn over a new leaf in order to maintain her relationship with her children, particularly Savannah. Despite her cold-hearted nature, the T-1000 finds herself attracted to T-800 Captain Wilhelm, whose template is the same as John Connor's first Terminator protector, Uncle Bob. Like Uncle Bob, Wilhelm enjoys a good Cuban when he can get them and speaks with an Austrian accent. Despite Wilhelm's best efforts, Catherine reels him in and the pair becomes the first known pair of Terminators to marry.

Sarah is still Sarah, angry and on edge, broken and fearful yet still tough as nails and not to be trifled with. After a long and tempestuous courtship started while Cameron and John were in high school (See Cameron Grows Up), Sarah finally consents to become Derek's wife. Sarah, having been cured of her cancer while on a diplomatic mission to Mexico, not only marries Derek, but adopts a T-1000 child who has never been under Skynet's control.

Named Ruth, the T-1000 becomes close friends with her adopted human cousin, Hailey Connor. The pair of mischievous girls are always under the watchful eye of their T-600 protector, The Old Man. A small, unusual and fearless dog, an Italian Greyhound named Little Al, is found by Cameron in the Wastelands and becomes the two girls companion and eventual watchful protector who, along with the Old Man, does his best to keep the girls out of trouble.

Derek is still a hater of machines, but has come to grasp with the fact not all machines are bad. He is severely wounded in the Battle of Airbase S-14 and loses his left arm and leg. Out of necessity, he must become part cyborg himself. In the process he gains a cybernetic left eye, microcomputer implant, and a better understanding of his adopted T-1000 daughter, Ruth.

Bound together by family ties, Cameron and Derek have formed an unusual friendship yet still constantly bicker, often going out of their way to annoy the other when possible.

Doctor Johnson, a former machine hater, now presides over a unique medical system that treats both human and Terminator patients. His best orderly is a T-600 no longer capable of combat but has an intense hatred of bacteria and viruses and a love affair with bleach and cleaning, producing a medical complex nearly free of infectious contagions.

Cameron is the glue that ties the group together and somehow TechCom grows stronger despite the horrors of a post-Judgment Day world.

One more thing. Cameron still, after all these years, is not over the bitch whore Riley. Big chested blondes are not allowed near her John!
