Chapter Twenty Six

Year: 2027

It didn't take long until John and his group arrived at the Resistance L.A Headquarters, they were greeted once again by a rather pissed off Savannah, it was clear to John that it was because of him leaving to get Cameron back. But Savannah couldn't blame him she knew how much Cameron mean't to him, plus Cameron was needed in order to win the war against Skynet.

They'd already been there for a few hours, just resting and having time to themselves, John mostly stayed with Cameron talking to one another about various things. He was now currently in a meeting with Savannah and Cameron was accompanying him.

"We have the TDE ready to go we'll move out shortly" Savannah said with confidence.

"Good I want to return as soon as possible..." he looked to Cameron giving her a smile, she did the same in return "...who else is coming?" he redirected his question back to Savannah.

"As many as we can send back, but you and your group will definitely be going back" she said sternly.

Both John and Cameron nodded but they knew there was more to the matter, but Savannah didn't have the time to explain every detail she was to busy organizing the groups that are sent back to 2009. John and Cameron return to their temporary quarters, to wait until they needed to move out.

John immediately jumped on the bunk, sighed the comfort after nearly two days of travelling and sleeping on concrete floors. He turned to see Cameron standing near the door, looking at him with a cute smile on her face, she also seemed to be watching over him, protecting him.

"Cameron...it's rather awkward you standing there, watching me" he said smirking at her.

Cameron's smile immediately disappeared, she looked to the floor as if ashamed "I'm sorry, John, I'll leave you to yourself"

She was about to walk out of the room when she felt a strong hand grasp her wrist she turned around to see John holding onto her wrist, she looked at him her head slightly tilted "John?" she says puzzled at what he was doing.

He pulled her closer to him then combed her brown long hair back with his heads, taking in the beautiful features on her face "I didn't say to leave...I just said it was awkward what you were doing" he said he then kissed her on the forehead.

Cameron loved the affection he displayed towards her, it made her feel wanted, it gave her a purpose to be there for John to protect him and love him. Once he kissed her on the forehead she immediately planted her lips on his, taking him by surprise. They both eventually pulled away he looked at her seeing the grin on Cameron's face.

"I'm going to regret letting you learn about human emotion and personality aren't I?" he said coyly

Cameron just smirked at his comment "I can always choose not to, if that'll make you feel more...comfortable?" she replied.

"On second thoughts, I can cope with it" he said laughing, he immediately knew what she mean't, returning to her old mechanical self that expressed very little emotion or personality. It wasn't that he hated it, in fact he didn't mind that side of her, he just didn't want to restrict her from learning anything.

They were both about to go in for another kiss when there was a knock at the door, it startled John but not Cameron, Kyle opened the door realizing he'd interrupted something between them "Oh...er sorry...we're moving out shortly" he closed the door around leaving the two of them only once again.

Cameron looked to John "I'll go and retrieve the provisions from the storage room" she said, she then kissed John on the cheek, he blushed slightly, in response he nodded. Cameron immediately left the room, as for John he immediately started collecting weapons and equipment in the room, putting them in his rucksack.

It had been a few minutes when suddenly the alarms in the headquarters started to sound off, as he rushed outside he was immediately hit in the face by this mysterious fog in the corridor. He started to make his way down the corridor to the storage room to find Cameron.

However he started to get blurry vision, then he started to drop to the floor, he looked to his hands seeing his veins turning black. At that point he started to feel the excruciating pain go through his body, he tried to stand back up but he just fell to the floor, he then started to crawl still feeling the terrible pain go through.

In the distance he could see someone rushing towards him, they were calling out to him, he instantly recognized the voice it was Cameron.

"John!" she shouted obviously panic in her tone.

She helped him up then immediately rushed out of the building to get him up above, she eventually did, Cameron looked down to see that John was in pain she did the only thing she could think of and rushed him to the Cyborg Resistance infirmary.

When Cameron arrived with John, the Cyborg Resistance medics and engineer took him straight into one of the rooms to immediately start treating him, like many of the other humans that were at the base. Not every human had inhaled the toxin from the Resistance L.A Headquarters, thankfully for Cameron, Savannah and the humans from their group hadn't been infected with the toxin.

As the Cyborg Resistance medics and engineers instantly got to work on John, Cameron stood there watching John thrashing about on the table in the room, her left hand was twitching, from fear. Suddenly Savannah, Hazel, Kyle, Derek, Allison and Elizabeth stormed in to see the condition of John themselves.

The Cyborg Resistance medics and engineers eventually strapped him to the table, they then started to work, taking samples from his blood to try and figure out what the toxin was and if there was a way of stopping it.

"What's his condition?" Savannah asked Cameron.

Cameron didn't answer at first "I...I don't know" her voice trembled at first surprising both Savannah and Cameron, it was clear to everyone else that this was effecting Cameron badly. They all just stand there looking through the window eagerly awaiting the outcome, especially Cameron whom started to tear up.

The news was broken to the group a few hours later, they were told by one of the Cyborg Resistance medics that there weren't anything they could do, it was only a matter of time until his vital organs gave out. To everyone's surprise Cameron started to breakdown in tears, she'd only recently reunited with John, expressed their feelings to one another and now she was about lose him.

Another machine walks this time an engineer, she asked if she could speak to Cameron, she agreed and walked into the next room with the Cyborg Resistance medic and engineer. The three of them stood there in silence for a moment, no one willing to speak first, eventually the engineer spoke up.

"Cameron, there is one option left..." she was instantly interrupted by Cameron.

"No!..." Cameron said with a determined voice "...I won't do that to him"

The engineer nodded her head in acknowledgement "I'm not going to force you...but I'll give you some time to think about it" she was walking towards the door with the medic, until she stopped turning to Cameron.

"You know how much we you two alive" Cameron just looked at the engineer not saying a word, dried tears on her cheeks, both the engineer and medic left Cameron in the room by herself. Cameron returned to the others in the other room, they all look at her intrigued but worried about Cameron.

Cameron aimlessly looks to John on the table in the room not thrashing anymore, his chest rising and falling very slowly. That's she had a flashback, of when she went 'bad' then tried to kill John and Sarah, they deactivated her, but instead of burning her John chose to keep her alive by reinserting her chip.

After she rebooted he gave her a pistol and told her to promise she wouldn't kill him, even though on her HUD there was a termination order, she overridden the order choosing not to kill him. John ultimately put his life in her hands, trusted her and once again his life was in her hands. She immediately knew that she couldn't choose whether he lives or die, it wasn't her choice.

If he died then Cameron wouldn't have a purpose, her whole life is revolved around John, protecting him and loving him. Without John she wouldn't know what she'd do.

Instantly she rushed out of the room after the medic and engineer, she eventually caught up with them, they down turn to look at Cameron surprised by her sudden appearance.

"Do it...please" she said pleadingly.

The medic and engineer look at one another confused but skeptical by what she said "Are you sure?" the engineer asked making sure.

"Yes" she replied hesitantly but she knew deep down it was the right thing to do. Both the engineer and medic nod to acknowledge what she just said.

"You do know Cameron, that he'll be a Hybrid after this half man, half machine" the medic mentioned clarifying what Cameron is deciding.

Cameron looked to the ground then back at the two machine standing before her "I know, I shouldn't choose his fate...so save him please"

Both the engineer and medic nodded in acknowledgement of Cameron's decision they immediately went off to get to work on the operation.

Year: 2009

For the last few days everyone in the Cyborg Resistance safe-house decided it was best to stay low for a bit, they didn't want to to risk Skynet discovering their safe-house. However Malarkey and Will have headed out here and there to retrieve equipment and provisions.

Sarah and Ellison went to see Hoya they wanted to know the actually numbers of Resistance that had been sent back to fight against Skynet, when they were about to enter the room Hoya was in they both realized he was speaking to someone on a cellphone, but they went in anyway.

He quickly finished the conversation then directed his attention to Sarah and Ellison "Is there something I can help you with?"

Sarah started "We need to know what's actually happening here with the Resistance" she said bluntly.

Hoya just looked at Sarah "In the future Savannah has been sending back hundred of human and cyborg Resistance members"

"Why is she doing it? Why not fight the war in the future?" Ellison injected.

"Skynet is too powerful to defeat in the future, defeating it here and now is easier as it's still learning and building it's forces...it's vulnerable" Hoya replied coldly.

Sarah sighed "Wouldn't we just postpone its rise to power for a few years?" she asks irritated by the short answers.

"No with a new A.I it'll ensure that it'll never happen" Hoya simply answered Sarah's question.

Sarah blinked at the answer "What?" gobsmacked by what Hoya said.

"With this new A.I that knows the value of human life, and has evolved to understand good from bad"

Ellison and Sarah looked at one another in shame at what they're involved in "How do you know it wont turn 'bad'?"

"It's a risk we'll have to take, if we are to ensure Skynet's defeat" Hoya replied.

Sarah and Ellison don't respond they don't know what to say, Sarah changes the subject "So where's the rest of this 'so called' Resistance?"

"They're waiting" Hoya says simply.

Ellison is cocks an eyebrow at Hoya "Waiting for what exactly?"

"The call...from John Connor and Cameron"

It suddenly hits Sarah what Hoya just said, it could only mean one thing that John was coming back home, that she'll be able to see him again after so many days without. She would sometimes worry herself to death about John wondering and hoping he was alright wherever he was.

But now, after what Hoya said, it confirmed that John would at some point return and she hoping it was very soon.
