The wind blew coarsely as The Terminator walked down the street, he saw a car dealership, he slowly walked into the parking lot, He saw a man in a suit, he approached him and began conversing. "I'd like to purchase a vehicle." spoke the Terminator, "well we have a few different cars and bikes, what are you looking for?" asked the attendent impatiently, the terminator obviously not noticing the attendents annoyance, continued, "do you carry and farrari's?" asked the terminator mechanically, "yes, this is a farrari dealership, what model did you have in mind?" replied the attendent somewhat more annoyed, "i require a farari enzo." spoke the machine slowly, "ok well thier are a few things i'll need first, for starters your name." replied the attendent eagerly, "Kyle Reese." spoke the Terminator slowly as the attendent jotted it down on a contract, "second thing we need is your deposit." spoke the attendent again, "here's my deposit." spoke Kyle monotonously, Kyle looked at the attendent for a moment then placed one hand on his shoulder and cocked his other hand back, he threw his hand forward and punched through the attendents chest, spraying blood all over kyle's clothes. He looked at the man who hung lifeless on his arm, Kyle slowly pulled his arm out of the attendents chest, blood soaking his arm crimson. He turned to face a black enzo, he jumped over the door and into the car. He looked at the ignition for a moment before ripping the leather covering from it. He grabbed the uncovered ignition switch and twisted it sharply. The engine roared to life, Kyle to one last quick look at the dealership, then he dropped his foot down on the gas causing the farrari to whip forward out of the parking lot, "I'm coming for you John." he spoke silently as he sped down the road.

Cameron smiled as she gazed out the kitchen window, a blue jay sat happily on a branch while it chirpped marrily. she slowly began rubbing her tiny belly, although her vomiting had finally stopped, she had begun having many strange cravings, which Drew was only to happy to cater to, she turned to see Drew walking into the kitchen, he opened the fridge and grabbed the pitcher of orange juice, he walked over to the sink and reached up into the cupboard and grabbed a glass and poured himself a glass of juice. He spun around and saw Cameron sitting at the table, "Do you want some Juice?" asked Drew caringly, "no thanks."replied Cameron softly, her Gaze shifting from the blue jay to Drew. Drew grabbed a chair and sat next to Cameron, slowly sliding his arm around her, while he slid his other hand down to her belly, gentely rubbing her belly softly with his hand. "I love you Cameron." whispered Drew softly, "I love you too." whispered Cameron while smiling warmly. Drew looked into her beautiful brown eyes, "I gotta run a quick errand, but i'll be back later, when i get back i'll have a suprise for you." spoke Drew softly to Cameron. "Ok, Don't forget to take your plasma pistol with you." she said lovingly, "I won't." replied Drew as he tucked his pistol into his belt. He leaned over and kissed her softly, her lips tasted sweet as she wrapped her arms around him in an embrace. Drew held her close their tongues swirling around in a passionate frenzy. Finally the separated, Drew slowly stood up and kissed Cameron softly on the forehead as he left through the kitchen door.

John and Riley walked along the beach hand in hand, the sand warm on their feet as they walked, waves crashed against the shore, John looked at Riley, he knew that this is what he wanted as he stopped walking and pulled Riley in close. She looked at him nervously, John stood their unsure of how to proceed when he felt Riley's lips against his, he slowly closed his eyes as he held her tightly against his warm body. As they kissed a black Ferrari pulled into the beach parking lot, Sarah who was sitting by the water's edge observed the car come to a stop, she watched as the drivers side door swung open, then as if time suddenly stood still, a man slowly climbed out, She was frozen, staring in shock at the man, "Kyle...", silently left her lips as the man walked toward her. John turned to quickly glance at his mother when he saw the mysterious man walking down the walkway from the parking lot towards her. "Mom?" shouted John rather confused. He and Riley both stopped walking and turned toward Sarah, John grabbed Riley by the hand and ran towards his mother. As they reached Sarah, the man came to a stop in front of her, "Hello Sarah, It's been a long time." Spoke Kyle softly, Sarah stood in shock as he spoke, He looked the same, sounded the same, smelled the same, and probably felt that same as she remembered him. As she stared into his deep brown eyes, she felt an overwhelming wave of confusion and fear, so uncertain of what stood before her that tears began streaming down her cheeks. She suddenly felt Kyle's warm hand against her cheek, his touch was invigorating, she felt safe for the first time since John was born. John stood next to his mother in a shock-induced state of confusion at the man who stood before them. Kyle noticed John finally and spoke. "Who might you be?" asked Kyle somewhat confused, "Well Kyle…. He's your son…John Conner." Spoke Sarah slowly, still filled with a certain degree of confusion. "John Conner?, My Son?" stuttered Kyle in confusion, He looked long and hard at John before slowly placing his hand on John's shoulder, "You remind me of me at your age.", chuckled Kyle, "So your my father....." squeaked John, a sudden overwhelming feeling of happiness and sadness swept over him, he hugged his father tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. Just then the squeeling of breaks is heard, Sarah glances in the direction of the sound to see Drew in his blue mustang. He swings open the door and hops out, he runs down towards John, but slowly comes to a stop when he notices Kyle standing thier. "Kyle....is that you?" asked Drew slowly as if he'd seen a ghost. "Drew Murdock, i haven't seen you since John ordered us to clean out the trenches on broadway." chuckled Kyle innocently, "Yah, i remeber, how could i forget, it's where i got this scar." spoke Drew while pointing to a disfigured patch of flesh just above his right wrist. As they talked, large, black clouds started to appear on the horrizon, the waters began to get rougher, the wind began to pick up. Drew scanned Kyle as Kyle spoke Sarah and John, starting from his shoes and slowly making his way up to his hands, suddenly he saw it, blood, spattered on his cuff, small droplettes but it was thier none the less. Drew looked upon Kyle with distrust, something was wrong, but now wasnt the time to worry about that, he had to get back home to Cameron, after all he had a suprise for her, and he was sure she'd love it. "Well we should probably head back home.", spoke Sarah finally, they all nodded in agreement. Drew offered to drive Riley back to the house, Sarah and John went with Kyle.
* * * * * *
As Drew and Riley walked to the car, Drew whispered to her, "Something's wrong here, i saw blood on his cuff, i think something is up.", Riely took a moment to think about this, "Now that you mention it, i've never seen anyone so unknowing about anything." she repiled finally, "Well i'll keep an eye on him, just to be safe." whispered Drew nervously. Drew reached out and grabbed the handle on the passengers side and opened the door, Riley slid in quickly, and closed the door, Drew ran around to the other side and jumped over the door into his seat, he the key into the ignition and drove off. The drive home for John was a nerve wraking one, his mother had told him once that his father had a tattoo on his forarm like Darek's, but when John noticed Kyle's forarm when his sleeve slid up he saw none. John was afraid, afraid of the man he thought was his father, afraid of what this man might do to him and his mother. The only relief he took was in knowing that Riley was safe with Drew. "Turn right here." spoke Sarah suddenly while Kyle drove. Kyle acknowleded her and turned right, he drove a bit farther until the Conner residence came into view, "That one thier." pointed out Sarah, Kyle looked at her for a moment, the thought of killing her and John now crossed his mind, but he decided that it would be far easier to kill all his targets at once. He pulled into the laneway slowly with Drew following just behind him. He turned off the car and got out, standing for a moment to take in all the details of the Conner residence. "Hey baby welcome home!" spoke Cameron happily as she came out from the garage, shotgun in hand, she wrapped her free arm around Drew and pulled him in for a kiss, as thier lips met, John spoke, "Get a room you two." he said sarcasticly. Kyle watched as Drew and Cameron kissed, he watched carefully at the way they let thier lips touch and how thier arms were used during this process only known to him as a kiss. Cameron pulled away finally, and glanced at Kyle for a moment, her deep brown eye's suddenly flashed blue as she scanned him, Suddenly she jumped back and raised her gun to him. "Back up now!" spoke Cameron as she pointed the shotgun at Kyle. "Cameron what are you doing, put that gun down now!" shouted Sarah rather fearfully, "Sarah that's not Kyle Reese, thats a terminator." said Drew suddenly, his plasma pistol raised at Kyle. "Have you both lost your minds!!!, He's a human being not some killer machine!!!, Now put down those guns now!" screamed Sarah deswperatly, "Thier right mom, He's a machine, make him show his Concentration camp tattoo, after all you did tell me he had one." spoke John loudly. "Show them your arm Kyle, Just do it." spoke Sarajh finally, Kyle slowly rolled up his sleeves, his arms were bare and tattooless. "Well i guess my charade is over now..." muttered Kyle as he secretly slid his right hand into his back pocket, grabbing the revolver hidden thier. Sarah stood stunned, she was in shock that skynet would go so far as to use someone from her past against them. John saw it first, Kyle quickly raise his revolver and squeased the trigger, John lept infront of his mother and was caught in the shoulder by one of the bullets, the others past his mother, missing her completely, John struck the pavement hard, blood oozing from his shoulder, Sarah dropped to her knees, she looked at Kyle just as he raised his gun to her head, Suddenly he was on the ground, the flesh running from his right hip all the way to his right shoulder was gone, his bare endoskeleton visible, his left eye and cheek covering was also missing, he lay thier stunned unsure of what had just happend, one thing was for sure though, he was going to kill who ever did this to him and he was going to make them suffer. Slowly Kyle stood up, he scanned the pistol and the shotgun, he deduced that the pistol had been made from parts salvaged from an advanced Unicorp prototype, The shotgun was just a standard lever action shotgun, it wasn't much of a threat, the pistol however was a major concern considering it scorched the surface of his endoskeleton. Kyle cocked his head slightly, he ran forward towards Drew, Drew saw this and squeased the trigger of his pistol, Kyle dove down and rolled foreward, the plasma burst sailing over his head. He slammed into Drew's legs causing Drew to fall back, suddenly Kyle was on top of Drew, his fists striking Drew's face with such force that the ground shook slightly, Drew tried to fight back, but was to slow to hit Kyle, who by this point had torn a hole in the left side of Drew's mouth, His endoskeleton peeking out at the edges of the wound. Drew felt around on the ground beside him as he continued to take punch after punch from Kyle, his hand found a smooth carbon fiber handle, he wrapped his fingers around it and brought it up to Kyle's left temple. Kyle detected this and swatted the gun away. The gun landed by John's fallen form, Riley wept into John's chest as blood oozed from his wound. Suddenly his eye's fluttered open, he coughed harshly as he sat up, holding Riley close to him, Cameron locked onto Kyle and opened fire, catching him in the shoulder. Kyle sat atop Drew's chest undaunted by the large wound on on his shoulder and continued to punch away at the semi-conscious Drew, who by now had even more of his facial flesh covering, a large chunk of flesh was missing from his forehead and his left cheek was completely gone. Cameron looked at her shotgun, it was empty, she looked back at Drew, she made up her mind, in that one instant she realized what she would have to do, she ran towards Drew and clothes lined Kyle knocking him backwards and into the pavement. Kyle slowly rose to his feet, his hand wrapped tightly around Cameron's throat. He smiled as he slowly brought his free hand back, began to throw it forward, an explosion erupted from the garage sending Kyle and Cameron flying, Kyle struck the paved lane way head first scratching up the remaining flesh on his face, Cameron landed on her back, a large, bloodied wound on the left side of her face was clearly visible as she lay their motionless.
* * * * * *
The year was 2043, less then a year away from the end of the great war against skynet and its sister corporations.
The walls were steel and they were rather cold, two T-850's stood outside a large set of double doors, behind those doors sat Drew, his arm free of any concentration camp tattoo's. Suddenly their was a commotion, the sound of a girl screaming tore through the air like a knife, her cries desperate and ragged, then their was quite, Drew sat their on the floor, his face buried in his hands, another victim of the machines he couldn't save, another innocent life extinguished forever, he thought as a tear ran down his dirty grim covered cheek. The pain and anguish he felt was almost unbearable, he just wished that the machines would end his miserable existence now and let him finally rest in peace, but he knew that they'd never give him that, after all they needed him unmarked, no strange markings meant no questions, which meant perfect infiltration, or at least that's what skynet had hoped for, but things hadn't been working so well for them, the tide of war had changed and it seemed that the human resistance was winning. Skynet was running out of options, so in a last ditch attempt to change the tide of the war, they kidnapped a human from the resistance and brought him to their manufacturing facility. They planned to make a human-terminator hybrid. Drew looked around the room grimly, knowing his fate, and knowing the fate of his beloved Allison. Drew and Allison Young were almost inseparable, they spent as much time as they could together, Drew had recently asked John if he could be assigned to the same missions as Allison. John being an understanding man could see where he was coming from and approved the request. Drew and Allison had been sent out along with Derek Reese to find Skynets temporal displacement generator and to report it's location to John. The group had made it's way to the large facility, working their way through the many maintenance hatches and ventilation shafts, they had arrived in a small, dark room. Drew walked toward what he thought was a human body, he was mistaken, as he approached the body, it's head suddenly jerked to the side, then opened it's eyes to reveal two glowing sockets. The machine kicked out Drew's legs and took his gun and pressed it to his Forehead. Derek opened fire on the machine doing little to no damage, Derek threw his weapon down and ran, he knew he couldn't help Drew and it was killing him, "How many friends am i going to lose before this war is over." he thought to himself as he ran. Allison stayed behind she opened fire on the machine but was grabbed from behind by a second machine. Drew saw the butt of his gun come down on his face and everything went black. When he awoke he found himself in a large cell, his first instinct was t search the room for anything that could help him to escape, it payed off, he had found an old piece of rusted pipe. He grabbed the pipe and slid it onto the first hadle on the large cell door. He pushed down with all his strength, the handle slowly began to inch its way down. Finally the the first lock was open, he looked at the second handle and slid the pipe on to it, he pulled down on the pipe and the handle came down. He slid the pipe off the handle and grabbed the side of the door, He slowly began to pull the large metal door open. Soon it was open just enough for him to slip out of his cell. He slowly walked down the long empty corridor until he came to a medium sized metal door, he jammed the pipe into a small gap in the door frame and pulled as hard as he could the door slowly eased open. He glanced inside, at first he saw nothing then when had looked over the room harder he saw his worst nightmare laying before him in a puddle of her own blood. He staggared over to her, he knew it was Allison, he gently held her lifeless body in his arms, weeping softly has he did. He had lost everything now, the pain that filled him had made him angry rather then sad. He slowly stood up, Allison cradled in his arms, he slowly turned to the door and walked out, he made his way to opposite end of the hall, he slowly pushed the door open with his shoulder and saw that the room was filled with prisoners, they were all telling him to escape, to live, and to warn John of this place. He broke into a run, Allison's lifeless body still in his arms, twisting and turning down the facilities many halls and tunnels, until he reached a place that he recognized, the room where they had been ambushed originally, he slowly made his way to the door and kicked it open, suddenly an alarm sounded. Drew reacted accordingly, he broke out in a full sprint while carrying Allison in his arms, soon he had reached a deserted bunker, where he rested for a few minutes, then continued to John's encampment. After what had seemed like many hours of walking, he had finally arrived at the camp. The guard dogs were quite, suddenly one of the soldiers thier turned and saw Drew entering the camp, the soldier was Derek. Derek was happy to see that his friend had made it, but his heart sank when he saw Allison's lifeless body in Drew's arms. Drew dropped to his knees and gently placed Allison on the ground and wept, Derek ran up to Drew and gave him a hug, "Come on let it all out man, just let it out." spoke Derek in an understanding voice. Derek knew the pain of losing someone close to him, Derek himself had lost a brother, He understood the pain that Drew was in, and tried to do his best to offer comfort and understanding. Allison' funeral was a few days later, she was buried beneath the large oak inside of the camp. John had allowed this simply because Allison had mentioned before that the tree reminded her of home. Three days later, Drew had been ordered to secret skynet facility. He grudgingly went along with the mission, they arrived at the facility which strangly was left unguarded, they ventured in slowly and saw it. It was the temporal displacement genorator, it was here in this old rusted out facility. Drew looked at it closely, a faint beeping sound could be heard, Drew went to check it out, he searched around the console and saw a bomb, it was set to blow in thirty seconds. "Derek get your team into the generator now!!", Shouted Drew, Derek looked at Drew for a second then sprinted into the Genorator, Drew quickly made some keystrokes and pressed a button. Electricity surounded Derek and his team, Drew watched as they disapeared, where ever they went it was better then where he was thought Drew, He pushed the button again and ran into the genorator, the electric field surrounded him, suddenly the bomb went off, Drew had just begun to disapear when the control panel exploded, Drew was suddenly thrust through time, suddenly everything went black as he lost conciousness. His head hurt, he knew that much, he lay on ground in the middle of a parking lot, shivering, naked and alone. He slowly opened his eye's, the sky was so bright and blue, he'd never seen a blue sky before, it was beautiful, he slowly sat up, as he did he quickly looked himself over, he was covered in cuts and scratches and bruises, from the bomb back at the facility, he thought, he slowly stood up and looked around, not sure of where in time he landed. he had an idea of where he landed, considering the fact that he was standing naked in a wal-mart parking lot and thier was a group of girls pointing and giggling at Drew.
Drew ran into wal-mart crashed into a candy display, he picked himself up and continued running, he ran through the girls clothing section until he finally made it to the men's clothing section, he grabbed the first things he saw, a Green hoodie, a pair of denim jeans and some black briefs. He quickly got dressed and tore the price tags of the clothes, he looked at the sleeve and saw a security tag on it, he quickly grabbed the nearby coat hanger and pryed off the tag, he then checked the rest of the clothes before sprinting to the side exit, he carefully slipped outside and ran through the parking lot, he continued running till he came to a blue honda. He looked around then drove his elbow through the drivers side window, he reached in and unlocked the door then climbed into the car, he looked at the stearing wheel for a moment before reaching under it and pulling out the wires that were hidden their, he quickly peeled back the plastic coverings on the ends of the wires and struck the yellow and green wires togeather until the engine started. He slammed his foot down on the gas and floored it out of the parking lot. He drove down the highway at over 150 miles per hour, way over the speed limit, a police crusier that was parked behing a large sign suddenly pulled out and began pursuing Drew. He stomped the breaks and let the cruiser colide with his car, he jumped out and ran up to the crusier pulled open the door, he reached inside and slid the police officers pistol out from his belt, the officer was unconcious from the crash. Drew looked around and began running as fast as he could, he glanced back for a moment and as he did he colided with something hard, he turned his head and looked up to see Derek Reese standing tall infront of him. "Drew...is that you?" asked Derek with uncertainty, Drew just stared at Derek stuned, "what's todays date...", stutered Drew slowly, "Today is november 15th, 2005, i've been here for two years now, when did you get here?" asked Derek cooly, "about forty minutes ago." spoke Drew quietly, "Come on i'll bring you to the Connor's safe house." spoke Derek softly, he reached out a hand, Drew looked at it for a moment before taking it, Derek pulled Drew to his feet an walked him over to his suv, Drew looked at the large car and slowly climbed in. "Connor's safe house?" asked Drew somewaht confused. "Yah, the Connors have a home here, i call it the safe house but it's more of a perminent residence." replied Derek, "ok....cool....", muttured Drew as he began to black out again.
Drew heard shouting, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw Derek and Sarah arguing, Drew glanced down and saw he was laying in a bed, his cuts and scrapes had been bandaged up. Sarah saw Drew waking up and stopped arguing. "So, whats your story?" asked Sarah, "Well for starters, i saved his ass back in 2043, so he's only here because of that, as for me i was caught in an explosion as i went back in time. i guess it knocked me two years ahead of where i was going, because the next thing i remebered was waking up naked in a wal-mart parking lot." said Drew somewaht annoyed. Drew heard someone coming towards the room, He looked toward the door and saw her enter, he stared at her in shock, she looked exactly like his Allison. "that's Cameron...", spoke Derek suddenly, Drew snapped out of his shock and snatched his pistol and pointed it at Cameron. "Y-You killed her...you killed my Allison..." shouted Drew as tears started to slowly run down his face, Cameron looked at him for a moment then she turned to Sarah and whispered something to her, Sarah turned to Derek and they left, leaving Cameron and Drew alone. Cameron turned around and closed the door then walked up to the side of the bed, she sat down in a chair next to the bedside table. "I sat here every day for the last week, you were unconcious the whole time." she spoke softly. Drew stared at her, his pistol still pointed at her head, tears began to run down camerons face as she began to speak again, "I'm so sorry for the pain that i caused you, i don't expect you to forgive me, but to at least listen, i know thiers nothing i can do to change whats happend you have to know that if i could i would, but i can't, so please just tell me that you can find it in your heart to give me forgiveness." cried Cameron, her face wet with tears and her eyes red from crying. Drew looked at her for a moment, he then slowly lowered the gun, tears began to run down his cheeks as he looked at her, he leaned over and wrapped his arms around her, he held her close and slowly whispered into her ear. "I forgive you.....", he whispered, she pulled back slightly and looked him in the face, she slowly leaned foreward and kissed him softly, she pulled away suddenly, "I'm sorry....", she spoke as she ran out of the room. Drew leaned back into the bed, he thought about what just happend, he foucused particularily on the kiss that took place. He slowly closed his eyes as he tried to sleep but he couldn't, all he could do was think about the kiss he'd shared with Cameron. Finally he sat up and looked around the room for a moment, he slowly leaned over the side of the bed and stood up, he walked out of the room and down the hall, he saw Cameron sitting in the kitchen, he walked in and sat down next to her. "what's on your mind Cameron?", asked Drew softly, "I can't stop thinking about the kiss i gave you, i know it was wrong but it felt...." she trailed off, "So right?" replied Drew nervously, looking into her beautiful brown eyes. "Yes...." whispered Cameron softly, she turned and looked at Drew, she realized he was looking into her eyes, "skynet got one thing wrong when they made you." whispered Drew softly, "Allison had green eyes, your's are brown." he whispered again as he slid his left hand behind her chair, reaching until it was on her shoulder. Cameron slowly turned her face towards him and smiled softly, Drew smiled back and leaned in and kissed her softly, her lips tasted sweet like sugar, he noticed, slowly he pulled back, he smiled warmly at her, "I promise i'll always be her for you." whispered Drew slowly, "that's nice to know..." whispered Cameron back, she slowly stood up and kissed Drew softly on the forehead, "i'll see you in the morning, ok." she said softly, "sure thing, count on it." replied Drew. When morning came Drew already knew something bad was going to happen, he slowly stood up and got dressed, pulling a grey t-shirt over his head. grabbed his Denim jeans and slid them on. he walked out of his room and found Derek waiting for him by the door. "She's amachine you know..." muttered Derek, "I know, so what's your point." replied Drew, "well for starters i saw you two kissing in the kitchen last night..." muttered Derek, "really, well i hope you enjoyed yourself then." replied Drew sarcasticly as he grabbed Derek's shotgun, "i'll be taking that." he spoke smugly as he walked towards the suv. They were all heading to a nearby power plant to check out a lead Sarah had uncovered on the Turk, Drew sat between John and Cameron, His eyes wondering up and down Cameron's body, she had the same curves, same smile, but not the same kiss, thought Drew. "Were here..." spoke Sarah suddenly, Drew snapped back into reality and followed Cameron out of the car, they entered the factory, Drew saw a man lying lifeless on the floor, Drew suddenly realized that this was the same play as when he and Allison were captured, "Keep away from that guy, it's a machine..." he spoke assertively, as he spoke the machine slowly turned its head to the side and stood up, it looked at Drew then at Cameron, suddenly the machine charged at Cameron, as the machine took its first few steps, Drew squeezed the trigger on his shotgun, pellets struck the machine without so much as ripping off flesh as it continued foreward, the machine swung it's arm out and knocked Drew to the ground, he then turned back to Cameron and charged her, Cameron grabbed his wrists and threw him into the pipes that lined the left hand wall, the machine stood up and looked down at Drew, the machine analyzed Drew quickly then grabbed him, he then backed away slowly holding Drew by his throat, Cameron stood frozen, unsure of what to do, Cameron suddenly noticed a loud beeping sound, She looked over by the terminator and saw a bomb next to him, it showed 45 seconds remaining on the clock. she looked at Drew then at the Terminator. "Run, Get out of here now!!!!!", shouted Drew suddenly, Cameron snapped out of her panic and ran, she ran as fast as she could, Sarah, Derek and John close behind her, they had just made it outside when the building errupted in a massive explosion. Flaming pieces of depris flew over head, Cameron fell to her knees, her she'd never felt anything like this before, she felt empty and lost and destroyed all at the same time, as she sat thier she began to cry. Drew lifted his head slowly relizing he was back in 2043, he saw that he was in a large metal room with double doors, he knew he was going to be here for a while. Drew slowly brought his thoughts back to where he was now, large metal room where he had been imprisoned for three weeks, suddenly the double doors opened and a fleshless T-850 entered the room, it walked up to Drew and grabbed him by the throat and dragged him down the hall to a darkened chamber, he looked around for a moment before he felt something hard hit his head, everything went black. The T-850 carefully placed Drew on a metal operating table, a sharp metal probe slowly decended from the celing and pushed into Drew's skull, it touched his brain, his whole conciousness was absorbed into the probe, a Terminator entered the room, with knife in hand, slowly it separated Drew's skin from his muscles, after a few minutes the gruesome task was done, the Terminator walked over to a skinless body and slowly slid Drew's skin onto it, it was perfect fit, Several more probes decended from the ceiling and injected the new body with special chemicals, the long cut's that ran down Drew's skin suddenly began to heal shut, they had become light scratches, the first probe slowly decended and pushed through the flesh on the body's forehead, it touched the metal endoskeleton beneath the flesh and passed Drew's conciousness into the posatronic brain inside the cranial case. Drew slowly opened his eye's and found himself laying on the floor of the large metal room. He stood up and looked around, he saw double doors and ran to them, he pushed and they swung open with ease, the two T-850's turned and tried to stop Drew, Drew punched one sending it into the wall, Drew grabbed the other and twisted it's neck sharply, a loud metal snapping sound erupted through the room as the T-850's head broke loose of the restraints on its neck. Drew released the
T-850 and continued down the hallway, he saw a door near the end of the hall and ran through it, thier was a Temporal Displacement Genorator in the room and it was crackling with electrcity, Drew looked down at his hands and noticed that he had some gashes in his palms, the endoskelton could be seen in the wounds. "What the hell did they do to me!", he spoke, suddenly relizing what had happened. They had turned him into a machine, he stepped into the generator room and walked up to the electrical field, he turned and walked over to the control panel and made a few keystrokes, suddenly the screen flashed in big bold red letters *Self Destruct Sequence Activated*, Drew ran into the electrical field and felt himself being pulled in all directions, then he felt nothing, then he heard her voice, Cameron's voice, He was home.
* * * * * *
Drew's eyes fluttered open, he slowly sat up and saw the flaming remains of the garage, he glanced to his left Cameron was lying on the pavement, a large wound in her left cheek, endoskeleton was clearly visible from the wound. Drew quickly shuffled over to Cameron, he looked down at her, he glanced at Kyle who had begun to stand up, most of the flesh on the right half of his face had been burned away, large patches of flesh and clothes were missing all along his body, he looked at Drew then looked at thier attacker, Drew looked at the attacker, standing tall and smiling was Cromartie, an RPG in his left hand, a Minigun in the right. Drew looked at Kyle who was allready running at Cromartie, whom was paying no attention to Kyle. Kyle brought his hands down on the RPG and Minigun's smashing them to piece's, he then grabbed Cromartie and threw him into his farrari, Drew spotted his plasma pistol and grabbed it, he sat thier and took aim, he squeesed the trigger gentelly, a large blast errupted from the barrel of his gun, the howling blue blast of energy struck Kyle and Cromartie sending them sprawling, Drew squeases the trigger again, scorching Cromarties flesh, Kyle rolls out of the way, he slowly gets to his feet and charges at Drew.
Drew takes aim and waits, in seconds Kyle is nearly in front of Drew, Drew squeeses the trigger hard, a bright blue blast errupts from the pistol and rips it's way through Kyle's endoskeleton, Kyle staggers foreward, and topples over. Cromartie scans Kyles endoskeleton, he finds that Kyle's power cells have been disintegrated. Cromartie stands up and slowly walks away from the Conner house. Drew looks over at Kyle's smoking body, he looks back down at Cameron, her eye's flutter open, she looks up into Drew's eye's and smiles, the wound on her face healed slightly. He looks back to John just as Derek and Charley come running up the lane way, "What the hell happend here?" asked Derek worried, "Thier was terminator posing as your brother, it shot John and almost killed me and Cameron." said Drew, omitting the part when Cromartie blew up the garage. Derek and Charley ran over to John and looked at him, "Your lucky John, you were shot in the shoulder, now hold on this is going to hurt a bit." said Charley as he carefully removed the bullet from John's shoulder, he then began stitching up the bullet wound. Drew carefully lifted Cameron into his arms, She looked at him and smiled, she slowly wrapped her arms around him as carried her toward the house. John slowly sat up, he looked at Riley, leaned over and kissed her passionately, Derek, Charley and Sarah all stood up and went to the house, Drew stood by the door with Cameron in his arms. John got to his feet and helped Riley to her feet, they both walked to the house and went inside, Drew smiled as he carried Cameron into the house. He carried her to her room and gently laid her down on her bed. She looked at him innocently before pulling him down onto the bed with her, her lips meeting his, their tongues swirling around in frenzy of passion. Her body was tightly pressed against his, her hands trailing up and down his back. The door opened, Sarah walked in, she looked towards the bed and saw Drew and Cameron making out on the bed. "What the hell is going on here!" shouted Sarah in shock. "What are you doing in here Sarah?!?" retorted Drew, who had sat up by now, "Well I came in to see if you guys needed anything, but apparently you two are fine together…are you two sure you didn't…" spoke Sarah, "No!" shouted Drew and Cameron simultaneously. Drew slowly climbed out of the bed and walked to the window, he looked out for a moment, their was a flash of bright light then an explosion ripped through the wall sending Drew sprawling. "Drew!!!", Screamed Cameron, Drew had been buried under the rubble from the wall. The already damaged Kyle entered through the large hole in the wall, his chest still smoking from having a large whole put through it. "Call to John…..Now!!!", Shouted Kyle, "Never!", screamed Sarah, Suddenly a metal hand shot out from the rubble and grabbed Kyle's leg and pulled him to the floor. Derek burst into the room, an M-60 in hand, he opened fire on the terminator, the bullets bounced off Kyle's head, he quickly kicked Drew's hand away. He looked at Derek for a moment before getting to his feet and walking toward Derek. Derek backed away as he continued firing on Kyle, The bullets continued to bounce off Kyle's face which by this point had lost all the flesh on his head, his cranial case gleaming in the fire. Derek threw his gun down and grabbed Drew's plasma pistol and fired on Kyle, sending him sprawling on the lawn outside the large hole in the wall, Drew pushed the rubble off of himself and stood up, his facial flesh had some damage to it, the eye covering on his left eye ha been torn off, his glowing blue machine eye was fully visible, he looked out the hole in the wall and saw Kyle sprawled on the lawn, smoke rising from his lifeless body. Kyle's metal body began to spasm as his eye's lit up, he sat up and charged Derek, knocking him to the ground and breaking three ribs. The plasma pistol slid out of his hand and hit the wall, Drew saw this and dove for it, Kyle shot his foot out and caught Drew across the jaw tearing the flesh open and sending him into the wall. Drew saw the pistol a few feet away from him, he dove for it again and grabbed it, he pushed the barrel of the pistol against Kyle's head and squeesed the trigger. Kyle's head errupted in fire as his cranial case exploded, fragments of his head rained across the the room. Drew looked at the large hole in the wall, "It's not safe if i'm here...", spoke Drew suddenly, "I think i'll go and get my own place..." he spoke as he slowly stepped through the hole in the wall, he slowly walked away, he felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked to see who it was, Cameron was standing next to him. "I'll go with you...." she said nervously, "sure!", spoke Drew. They walked down the lawn to the street hand in hand, they continued down the street until they were out of sight.

Two weeks passed since the Kyle terminator had attacked them, based on that attack alone it had become obvious that skynet had become far more dangerous then before. Drew had bought the small house next to Sarah's, after all he and Cameron still had to protect John and Riley, but now they had thier own lives to consider even if they were machines, Cameron's pregnancy hit a minor snag, when she noticed a blood stain forming, but it turned out to be her artificial blood and not the baby's. Drew was releved to know that Cameron and the unborn baby were fine. Drew had just returned home from the store, he had said he was going out to pick up some grocery's but when he came back with apparently nothing. He walked into the house and went into the living room where Cameron was watching T.V., he walked in and stepped infront of the T.V., He smiled at her calmly, then reached into his back pocket and produced a small black box, he flipped it open and went down on one knee, "Cameron, we've been through so rough times and some easy times, we've had wonderful times and not so great times, i just want to keep having more amazing times with you, so will you marry me?" asked Drew nervously, Cameron sat stuned, her mind racing, tears began to run down her cheeks, she slowly stood up and kissed Drew, "I will..." she whispered softly into his ear. Drew smiled brightly when she said that and he quickly slid the ring onto her finger, he looked into her beautiful brown eyes and kissed her softly.

Cameron walked into the Connor house and made her way to Sarah, who was over in the kitchen preparing lunch for herself and Derek, Cameron tapped Sarah lightly on the shoulder to gain her attention, Sarah spun around to see who had tapped her and saw Cameron standing before her, Cameron held up her left hand to show Sarah the engagement ring. Sarah looked at the ring stunned, "Drew proposed to me last night when he came home and i said yes!" spoke Cameron excitedly, Sarah still stunned and in shock from this, staggared backwards into one of the chairs, "Congratulations!" Spoke Derek suddenly, "Drew's a good man, he's saved my as a few times, i know he made the right descision." spoke Derek, "yah congratulation's Cameron." spoke Sarah finally. Drew, Riley and John entered the room, Drew walked over to Cameron and kissed her softly on the cheek. Derek patted Drew on the back and shook his hand, "She told you didn't she..." spoke Drew slowly, "Yah, she did tell us." replied Derek, "Told you guys what?" asked John somewhat confused. "Oh just the Drew proposed to Cameron last night thats all." spoke Derek, "Congrats man!" spoke John finally, Riley ran up to Cameron and hugged her happily, "I'm so happy for you Cameron." squealed Riley happily. "John, Derek, wanna take me out to celebrate..." chuckled Drew, "Sure why not, i could go for a beer anyway." replied Derek. John, Drew and Derek left the house and got into Derek's suv, Drew looked back at the house as Derek drove down the road, They came up to a bar and got out of the car, La roca meto was the bars name, the bartender was surly, heavy set Hispanic man, "what can i get for you gentlemen this fine evening?" asked the bartender, "Whiskey on the rocks" spoke Derek, "a rum and coke for me." spoke John, "Scotch straight up." spoke Drew. The bartender quickly made thier drinks and passed them to them. Drew sipped slowly on his Drink, He watched the Bar's T.V. carefully, suddenly a report flashed on the screen, aparently a house was on fire, Drew looked at the video of the house ofr a moment then shot up in hsi seat, "Derek, John we have to go now!", shouted Drew, "Huh, why?" asked Derek and John, "Your house is on fire thats why." shouted Drew as he sprinted out the door, Derek and John quickly following after them. They arrived at the house as it burned, the flames roared loudly as the fire fighters tried to put out the fire. "Is anyone in thier?" shouted Drew to one of the firefighters, "Yah, thiers three people trapped inside, we can't get to them, we've tried everything." said the fire fighter grimly, "you haven't tried everything spoke Drew as he ran towards the house and into the flames. Drew scanned the burning interior of the house he could see the house was going to come down sometime in the next five minutes. He moved quickly as he ran through the walls, He found Sarah pinned under a suport beam, he placed his hands on the beam and lifted it above his head and threw it to the side. He grabbed Sarah and threw her over his shoulder and ran outside and handed her to the paramedics, he ran back inside the house and continued searching the burning house, his sensors said that the house would collapse in three minutes. He ran into the burning living room and saw Cameron pinned against the wall with a concrete wall, Drew ran up to the wall and grabbed it and threw it off of her, he lifted Cameron's unconcious body and sprinted back out front. He ran into the house once more, his sensors only gave him thirty seconds till the house collapsed, he searched quickly, suddenly he heard screaming, he ran into the backroom Riley lay pined beneath the collapsed burning ceiling, Drew Grabbed it and pulled it off of her, she had some burns on her legs, He picked her up and sprinted out of the house. Just as he stepped out the front door, the house collapsed behind him. He ran to the closest ambulance and passed Riley to the paramedics, John ran up to her side and climbed into the ambulance with Riley. Drew ran over to Cameron who was being treated for some minor burns, Drew looked himself over and noticed he'd lost most of the flesh on his hands, he ran over to one of the empty ambulances and stole some gauze and wrapped his hands with it, he ran back over to Cameron and hugged her tightly, "Cameron do you have any idea who started the fire?" asked Drew nervously, "I belive it was Cromartie." spoke Cameron shakily, she buried her face in Drew's chest and began sobbing. "i was so scared, i tried to get Riley and Sarah out, but i couldn't, i'm sorry." sobbed Cameron softly, Drew slowly stroked her hair softly, "it's ok everything's fine now, Sarah is being treated for minor burns and smoke inhalation and Riley is being treated for some minor burns, John went with her to the hospital, everything will be fine." whispered Drew to Cameron softly. A few days later Sarah had moved into the house across from Drew's. Cameron's belly was a little bigger, but not by much.
Drew was sitting on the front porch when he saw the explosion, it came from a house three streets away. Drew ran to the blast, He scanned ahead and saw John holding Riley back, She was screaming, Drew relized that it was Riley's house that had exploded, stopped a few feet away and looked at the smoldering rubble, thier was no way anyone could have survived that blast, He looked at Riley who had fallen to her knees and buried her face into John's chest, her cries of internal agony were so familiar to Drew, he'd lost everything once before, but he'd found happiness once more, Riley had lost her whole family that day, a few days had passed since the deaths of Riley's whole family, She know lived with the Connors, she stayed in John's room with him. The same thought ran through everyone's mind, Cromartie had to be stopped once and for all.
