The Chief ran down the hallway with Reese. Guards scurried around as the alarm was sounding. The Chief and Reese past a sign that said "Hall B". Reese ran off to find John. There was smoke and fire everywhere making the visibility less than favorable, but the Chief saw every thing. There were mangled bodies everywhere lying in a pool of blood. Scorched holes were visible in the walls. He then noticed something else a figure walking in the smoke. He leveled his weapon at it and began to slowly pull the trigger when he stopped. The figure was human. He put his gun down and called out to the man.
"Hey, are you alright, I am coming to help."
The man didn't say anything instead it lifted up a long rod like object and pointed it at the Chief. The Chief then noticed a red glare come from were his eyes should be.
"CRAP" the Chief yelled as he jumped out of the way of the purple blast that erupted out of the weapon. It continued to fire. The Chief was pinned. He did not have his armor and even if he did the constant automatic fire would cut right through his shields and possibly himself.
The Chief thought for a minute. He needed a distraction that would stop the thing from firing. He found a pipe on the floor. Grasping it he ran out at lightning speed and through it at the figure. The pipe flew straight and true. It impaled the terminator's chest and came out through the other side. The force caused it to drop the weapon. Perfect, thought the Chief.
The Chief un-holstered his weapon and fired it at the T-800 putting holes in the synthetic skin and revealing the metal body inside. The thing pulled the pipe out of its chest and hurled it back at the Chief. It connected with its target and sent the Chief back two feet. The Chief continued firing at the T-800 until it collapsed on the floor sparking and jittering as it malfunctioned. The Chief walked up to it and crushed its metallic head with his fist.
He heard footsteps coming form in front of him. He leveled his weapon once more, but put it down once he saw John Conner and Karl Reese. Reese yelled out.
"THAT WAS AMAZING", he said with a smile.
John grinned and then after a few seconds of silence spoke out.
"You are an amazing soldier. Maybe I was over zealous. We could use someone like you in the human resistance."
The Chief stood silent for a second, and looked at his bandaged hand. He then looked at the dead bodies everywhere. He then spoke.
'I am sorry, but I have my own battles to fight. My dimension's people are depending on it. I have to get back."
John blurted out, " But that is exactly why you want to help us. Come I'll show you. Reese you get back to Sector 2. "
The Chief followed John back to his main office where they first met. John sat down on his chair and motioned the Chief over. He then opened a drawer and pulled out a file and opened it. The files contained picture of a pyramid with guns around it firing into the distance. John began to speak.
"This is the Skynet main structure, I am sure Reese has told you about Judgment day. This structure is well fortified because it contains Skynet's main CPU. If the CPU is destroyed so is Skynet."
"So, if you guys blow it up the war is over, good. Tell me how that gets me back home."
"Very well. Inside the main structure is Skynet's time displacement lab."
The Chief cocked his eyebrow and said, "Explain"
John continued," If we break in we can use the time displacement lab and if we rig it properly with the coordinates on your ship we can send you back were you came from."
The Chief thought over this and then said, "Very well, I will help you, but first I need my armor back."
"Oh your armor is in the lab come I'll show you there."
The Chief and John walked over to a room labeled LAB A. They walked in and two doors slid behind them. A figure stood by a table toying around with something. John spoke out.
"Dr. Voshniv, how are you doing?"
The figure turned around and walked closer. He was a lot shorter than the Chief around 5 feet tall. He had a long beard that went down to his waist and his hair was starting to
grey.
"John Connor how do you do", he said with excitement.
"Fine, I brought a friend."
"Ahh yes, the super human, what is he here for."
The Chief responded, " I am here for my armor"
The doctor got even more excited.
"Yes, right this way."
The doctor led them down to the other side of the room were there was a long table on it was his armor. The doctor began to speak.
" Your armor took quite a beating out there. Your shielding system, which is by far a miraculous work of science, is still operational but will recharge slower. Your neck seal was repaired. The upper left chest and arm had to be completely replaced along with the shin and boot. I replaced them with some spare titanium parts."
The Chief looked at his armor. The doctor was right. The armor had been damaged severely. The replaced parts would have to do for now. It was better than nothing.
"I understand," the Chief replied.
John then led him to another room, which was much larger. It was filled with what appeared to be combat vehicles. Mechanics were preparing them for battle. The vehicles were similar to the warthog in concept, but they looked like they were older vehicles with some armor slapped on and a gun on the back. In fact, they were all different vehicles. There were cars from pick-ups to dune buggies. John turned around.
"These are our assault vehicles. They are not much but they are all we have left. Do you know how to drive on rough terrain?"
"I have been trained in all forms of combat. This includes the piloting of vehicles."
"Good", John replied with a smile, "You will take the pick-up truck over there. It will contain a rocket jockey in the back. You will drive along with Reese who will be in the jeep with the mounted machine gun."
John turned to the soldiers that were now filling the Hangar. He yelled out.
"Saddle up and move out."
