Chapter 10

Year: 2027

Cameron has been searching through her existing to see if there's any connection as to why Skynet attacked her in the first place, it was useless. There was no information as to why Skynet would attack her programming and even when there was a glimpse it always seemed to revolve around the name John Connor.

Eventually she decided to search through her files anything that was related to John Connor all she could find was missions and experiences that involved him. But one thing stuck out from it all, one file read she was reprogrammed to protect a young John Connor.

Why was this John Connor so important?, she kept thinking of solutions as to why she was reprogrammed to protect this person.

All she knew was his name, John Connor, she cared for him, loved him and that she was his protector. The more Cameron thought about it the more upset she was that Skynet destroyed and twisted her memories of this John Connor. The fact that Skynet striped her of her memories of this John Connor, who obviously was important to her at some point, angered her.

She could see the engineer at a computer typing away at something she spoke up through the sound system that was connected to her.

"Do you think I'll ever meet him?" she asked the engineer.

The engineer turned around confused at first "Who...John Connor?"

"Yes" she replied

"Urgh...why do you ask?" he said in a nervous voice.

"Because...I think he mean't a great deal to me once...more than just a friend"

The engineer knew what she mean't exactly, but he didn't want to push the subject any further so the engineer just played along.

"Yeah, I think the two of you will meet" he replied.

The engineer didn't hear anything after that, he knew that Cameron wanted some time to herself so he didn't interfere with her. He continued to work at the laptop thinking the back of his mind hoping that John Connor and Allison Young are still out there alive.

Outside the factory, the Cyborg Resistance mustered up another forty five endo's calculating to a total of ninety endo's along with five HK drones and two Ogres they were making final preparations for the assault. The objective was to take the factory in order to cut off Skynets supply of weapons and reinforcements in and around Los Angeles.

The Cyborg Resistance units lined themselves up on the ridge ready to commence the attack below them the Skynet endo's were unaware of their presence what gave the Cyborg Resistance the advantage was the element of surprise and the more advanced units, compared to the T-800's and T-850's defending the factory.

One of the Cyborg Resistance endo's prepped their plasma sniper rifle it waited for the order to fire, it only took a few seconds for the order to come through.

The endo aimed down at one of the Skynet endo's in large group, it held onto the trigger of the plasma sniper rifle at the barrel a bright blue light increased in intensity. Once fully charged the endo released the trigger, the sound of a low thunderous thump came from the rifle, immediately afterwards a bright shard of blue plasma launched from the rifle.

It made contact striking one of the Skynet endo's in the head instantly killing it. In the response it's comrades immediately scanned the area where the bolt came from.

Up on the ridge once the shot was fired all the Cyborg Resistance forces advanced onto the factory charging down the ridge. The HK drones carpet bombed the factories airfields, the Ogres eliminated enemy plasma turrets set up around the factory perimeter.

The Skynet forces were ill prepared for the attack most of the Skynet endo's and vehicles were wiped out in the first minute of combat.

Inside Derek jumped, alerted at what was happening outside he could hear the sounds of gunfire and explosions outside he was relieved, the Resistance have come to help us!, he said to himself. To his right three T-850's rushed out of the room presumably to fight the Resistance outside.

"Hey Derek, is that the Resistance?" a Resistance soldier from the other side of the room calls out to him.

"Yeah, thank god" he replied smiling.

They waited for a few moments when suddenly something comes crashing through the wall, Derek and the other Resistance soldiers look hastily at the ground. A T-850 lies on the ground, chucks of metal taken off by plasma bolts, they then see another machine walk in a slim slender one blue lights shining from its body.

It walks up to the T-850 that's trying to pick itself up from the ground. The other machine places its foot on top of the T-850 stopping it from moving.

It speaks up in a woman's voice "Do me a favor...don't move" she chuckles.

She then shots the T-850's arms and legs off with ease rendering it useless and unable to escape or attack. However it was still alive and functioning.

She sees Derek and the Resistance soldier locked up in the cells they all step back from their cell doors including Derek waiting for the inevitable, to be killed by a machine.

The machine walks up to Derek's cell pointing her plasma rifle at him, he clenches his eyes waiting for it. She moves the plasma rifle down to the lock then blows it open she flings the cell door open. Derek opens his eyes to see a machine standing there looking at him he's confused at what's happening.

She places her left hand on her hip then speaks "Are you getting out of your cell?...or are you going to admire me more?" she says laughing to herself. She goes off letting the other Resistance soldiers out while other Cyborg Resistance units cleared the inside of the factory.

Derek walks towards the opening in front of him hesitantly at first, but once he steps out he feels free but trapped knowing these unusual new machines were around now. The machine returned to him.

"Follow me" she says motioning Derek and the Resistance soldiers to follow her.

They followed the machine outside to find more these new machines disposing and destroying what was left of the T-800's, T-850's and the vehicles. There was one thing that Derek and his team were wondering, and that was, what are these machines and why are they fighting against other machines.

It wasn't long before John, Allison, Kyle, Hazer and their group arrived to the perimeter defenses of the Resistance L.A. Headquarters. Kyle and Allison spoke to one another most of the time, it was clear to John that Kyle liked Allison more than a friend but he doubted Allison felt the same towards Kyle.

Hazer remained at the back of the group watching over them and making sure no one was following them to the headquarters. As soon as they arrived at the perimeter defenses to the headquarters they were escorted to the underground entrance to the headquarters.

As they neared the entrance Savannah was there waiting for them, at first John had no idea who it was until he got closer that's when he realized. He was shocked to see how much she'd grow and how mature she looked compared to when he saw her in 2009.

Savannah walked up to John embracing him then let go looking at him "It took you long enough to get here" she laughs.

John also laughs "Well you know what they say...'always like to make entrance'"

Savannah smiles at John she then turns to look at Hazer. She holds her hand out, Hazer swiftly shakes it in response.

"It's good to see you again Hazer" Savannah says with a sly smile.

"Likewise" a smile appears on Hazer's face. A first for John, Allison and Kyle.

Savannah motions them to follow her inside she then grabs John around the shoulder.

"We have a lot to talk about...but first you eat up and get some rest" she says quietly smiling at John, he returns the gesture intrigued at why she'd want to speak to him urgently.

They continue through the doors into the underground headquarters, once they were all through the entrance the large reinforced metal doors closed behind them, sealing them in for safety.

Year: 2009

Hazel was wondering around the Cyborg Resistance safe-house looking like she was lost. Sarah noticed her from a distance she walked up to her wondering what she was up to. Hazel didn't notice her until Sarah spoke up.

"Hazel, what are you up to?" Sarah asked.

"Playing a game with Savannah" she looked at Sarah puzzled for a moment.

Sarah laughed weakly "What game you playing?"

"Savannah suggested we play hide and seek, I seem to have lost her" Hazel looks around aimlessly before returning her gaze to Sarah.

Sarah smiles to herself she was about to speak again when Malarkey interrupted the conversation. Both Hazel and Sarah look at Malarkey intrigued as to what he wanted to say.

"We have to find some place to hide Cameron's body we can't trek around with it all the time, it'll just slow us down" he said to the two of them.

"What's the status of Cameron's body?" Hazel asked.

"It's at 100% we just have to find some place to hide it, but also a place we can remember so we can retrieve it in the future" Malarkey added.

The three of them thought to themselves in quiet thinking of places that they could hide Cameron's body. Suddenly Sarah thought of a place.

"I know where" she spoke up breaking the silence between the trio.

Malarkey and Hazel looked at one another. "Where?" he asked.

"Me and John use to take supplies, equipment and weapons to a hideout in the desert near Los Angeles in preparation for Judgement Day..." Sarah looked at Malarkey and Hazel waiting for one of them to question her but they didn't, so she carried on "...only me and John know the location, the perfect place to hide Cameron's body, and the easiest place foe John to find"

Both Hazel and Malarkey showed sly smiles towards Sarah at her suggestion, they were most definitely impressed by what they heard.

"Okay then we'll go there to tomorrow" Malarkey ended the conversation, he returned to whatever he was up to beforehand.

Hazel resumed in looking for Savannah in this game of hide and seek, she showed clear signs that she was enjoying this game, smiling as she walked around looking into various places, with joy clear in her eyes.

Sarah just stood where she was, you've done so much for me and for everyone John, if I don't it I'll leave you Cameron's body as a present from me and a thank you, just promise me you'll find her and do the right thing, she thought to herself. Shaking herself from the day dream she walked off heading back towards her room to get some much needed rest before she, Hazel and Malarkey set out tomorrow with Cameron's body.
