Human life should matter. Whether your life ends though suicide or homicide, it is still the one intention: to end the suffering. To say that you just can't take it anymore and kill yourself is what a coward would do, but to fight and kill, is it really that evil if you are actually trying to make a difference?

Cameron stood over Derek. His eyes didn't show any fear. He knew in his mind that he did all he could to stop judgement day, but was it really enough. Derek knew he has to keep fighting, but when a gun is pointed at his head, what choice does he have but to dwell on the bad things. He hadn't tried hard enough. He should have killed this psycho robot along time ago, had he made the right choice? He saw her finger push the trigger on the gun. Derek hadn't expected his life to flash past his eyes but he had expected more than this. He saw a face staring at him through the fire in his mind. The person came closer. He then realised that it is not a person at all. It was a metal face. The terminator walked toward him at a slow pace. Skin started materialising on the metal skeleton. A face grew onto this cyborg. It is Jesse! Derek felt happiness like he never felt it before, she had returned! She came closer. Their faces were just an inch apart when he felt her hand wrap around his throat. He saw her knuckles tighten, unlike a person whose knuckles go a strange white colour when they are clenched, her knuckles had a silver tint to them. He suddenly remembered that this is actually a robot.

Derek woke up from his weird dreamlike state and realised where he is. Maybe his dream was trying to remind him what a murderous bitch Cameron really his, but why would he need reminded. No, he realised it meant you can love a robot, was his dream telling him that Cameron should live? Of course not! His automatic life fighting skills kicked in. He held his gun up to Cameron and shot her. Then he noticed that when she pulled the trigger he had actually not gotten shot. The gun must have been broken so it didn't work. Sarah suddenly came running through the door.

"You!" she yelled at Cameron as she fired a gun with explosive bullets. Cameron fell to the ground, "Get inside Derek!"

Derek did as he was told. He looked at Chris who was standing just inside the door staring at the robot with a smile on his face.

'Why the hell is this guy smiling?' Derek thought.

Cameron awoke. She started moving robotically as she tried to stand up. She fell back down and the red tint in her eyes faded. John ran outside with a shocked look on his face. He tried to hold in the tears. Cameron couldn't seriously be dead… could she? John stared down at her body, he then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Chris couldn't be happier.

He tried to lighten the mood by saying, "Isn't it great that thing is gone now."

Sarah tried to talk to her son but he walked out of the room. Sarah ran after him, and Derek came too.

"John, come out and talk to us!" Sarah said.

He didn't reply.

"Come on it's just a crazy tin can!" Derek said.

"Your not making anything better," Sarah mumbled.

"Remember that talk we had. Emotions can't distract you!"

"Fine! Take away everything human I have!" John yelled through the closed door, "You said human emotions were good, and it is what makes us different from the cyborgs!"

"Not if your emotions are towards the cyborg!" Sarah yelled.

"Just leave me alone! My fate, my destiny, me being the saviour of the world, has taken everything away from me! Can't my stupid destiny just leave me in peace!"

Sarah and Derek left his room thinking that John needs time by himself.

Cameron

I am a terminator, but I don't feel like one. At the moment I am temporarily dead. When I am rebooting in makes me feel almost human. Humans die, and I can die. There are many human myths that when you die your life flashes before you, well that is different for me: instead my warning sign is flashing. It means I am in a state of danger. I lie on the ground looking up toward the cloudy sky. I am beginning to feel more human. Right now I am very aware of my surroundings. I never bothered to think how the grass feels beneath me and how the wind feels against my face, is this what it means to be human. I am sad that Sarah shot me; I know we weren't that friendly towards each other but I thought we were getting over the fact that I can't change what I am. If Derek could hear me now he would be laughing. I don't like his hate towards me. But John is another story. 'He means the world to me'. Isn't that strange how I just used a human saying? In this moment of realisation I am having, I realise I love John more than I thought. And he must love me too. I will not lie in the rain on the wet grass while Sarah and Derek and that new I guy I hate torment John. My warning signal tells me that I am still rebooting. I try to force my body to stand up, but I can't. It makes me wont to cry. There must be some kind of error with my chip, why am I experiencing human emotion! It makes me mad that I am so week and filled with feelings, but being mad is a feeling! The reboot will be complete in 3… 2… 1… seconds.

I stand up. I no longer feel hate, or sadness, or anger, or… love. That is a lie. I walk around to the back of the house where the window to John's room is. I can see him lying on his bed through the curtains. It looks as if he might be crying. I smash my hand through the window to make a big enough hole for me to stick my arm through and unlock the lock. John turns his head and spots me. I can see happiness on his face. I climb in the window working out what I am telling myself to do.

"Cameron?" he asks quietly to check I am not just his whacked up mind.

I learnt the term 'whacked up' from my friend at school. I met her at the cafeteria in the line to get some food (not that I was going to eat it). I see a purple bottle of a liquid labelled 'Fresh Bites'. I ask her what this means. She replies by saying, 'Ya know… like the brand'.

"I do not understand," I say.

"Da food en drink brand."

"How can Fresh bite?"

"Ya seriously gotta whacked up mind mi friend."

She isn't a very good friend due to the fact we haven't talked in 1 year, 3 months, 12 days and 3 hours.

I need to stop thinking of memories and focus on the mission.

"John, come with me," I order him.

He willingly climbs out the window with me. I am surprised that he is obeying me. We run up to a car.

"Get out," I tell the driver.

He gets out and runs away. John and I climb in and we drive far away.

Chris

Everything is falling into place! I couldn't be happier. Destroy the prize family and destroy the chance of hope! Sarah is becoming attracted to me due to the fact that she presumes I am telling the truth when I say I am her dead lover's friend. That's what all humans are, we are just creatures that are being used. Sarah and Kyle were used to make John existent, John is used to make an army, Cameron is used as his kissing-bot, and Derek is used as… well he doesn't really matter that much. If Sarah wasn't so busy thinking about me as her new boyfriend that she can use to get over Kyle she might actually realise my intentions. And if John and Cameron weren't so busy flirting and pretending that that killer-bot is really a loving human. But Derek is just pathetic. He knows I am not what I seem but he doesn't have the guts to do anything about it. Stage 2 is complete in my plan to destroy the Connors. Step 1 was to make Sarah think I am her new man and make everyone hate her, step 2 was to make John say he loves Cameron so everyone hates him, but Sarah helped me out by shooting Cameron. Can you believe the thing has a name?

I see Sarah walk away from John's room with a hurt look on her face. She is feeling his pain, how about I make her forget all about the pain, I'm sure Derek will be so mad, it's so obvious that he loves Sarah now that Jesse is gone. Sarah walks into her room, and I follow. I close the door. She is sitting on her bed with tears in her eyes.

"What is wrong, Sarah?" I ask.

"John's only got a few years before Judgement Day and he is no where near ready," Sarah confesses.

"Is it because of that damn robot?"

I move closer to Sarah and put my arm around her. As an observer of mankind I have noticed that touch can be very comforting, and words can be too.

"It makes me so sad to see you like this… I hope Kyle's note helped. He is a very lucky man to have you in his future," I lied.

"How does Kyle know I am in his future?" Sarah asks.

"I come from a different future, anything can happen."

I ran my arm around Sarah. She begins to relax.

"Absolutely anything," I whisper.

Her lips touch mine. We begin kissing. Then Derek walks in the room. He looks hurt then turns around as leaves.

"Now don't worry about him, you have me," I tell Sarah.

We hear a big bang from the room next-door, John's room. Sarah gets off the bed and runs to his door. She knocks on the door shouting, "John, open the door!"

Get pushes it open to reveal an empty room.

John

We drive and drive into the moonlight. Her eyes reflect off the brightness. She is driving the car. She turns her head to face me, while still driving perfectly.

"Are you sure you just want to leave everyone behind?" she asks flatly.

"Yeah, I can't stand them," I say, "They don't get what it is like to be so pressured all the time."

"We can't leave. What about the future?"

"The future isn't set in stone."

"It is set in coltan."

"What?"

"I made a joke."

"Sure."

I'll have to teach her how to joke someday, and we will have someday, because I am giving up. I am not going to be a hero. I'm just going to live an almost normal life.

"John…" Cameron began to say, "Do you love me?"

"Err… I'm not, uh… entirely sure," I say confused.

What am I meant to say? … That I love a robot who can never love me… what happens if she decides to take off and leave me or worse terminate me.

"I love you," she says like it is a fact, "I always have… I do have feelings you know. I do know what it is to love, no matter who says different."

It looks as if she might cry.

"I do love you too… I think," I say to make her not get her already distorted face covered in tears (if she has any), "Cameron, your eye is… gone."

She looks in the review mirror and sees a red eye/camera staring back at her.

"Yes, it is," she says.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"I can't do this. I was programmed to make you reach your destiny, and I am not doing that."

"No, you were programmed to protect me."

"No, I was also…"

"I get it! How about I reprogram you then. If I did it in the future I might be able to do it now."

"But I want you to reach your destiny!"

"No, that is just the metal talking. What is your mind telling you?"

"My chip? That I am activated."

"Not activated, your living." "And what does my chip have to do with anything?"

"You are a computer, one of the most advanced computers in the world. You have feels, you told me so yourself. Listen to those feelings not your chip, not your mind, your heart."

"I don't have a heart."

"It's a figure of speech."

Cameron stares at me frozen. She doesn't move for 10 seconds. Then she says, "I know what I want."

We lean in together and kiss. The kiss doesn't feel like I am kissing a piece metal or a robot of any kind, it feels like I am kissing the one I love.

"Do you want all humans to die?" Cameron asks.

"No, of course not! Someone else can build a resistance," I say.

"But that is not what happens in the future."

"The future can be changed."

"I know, you already said that."

"Then why are still so worried?"

"I don't know. I just have a feeling that something bad will happen if we leave."

I realised I have that feeling too, but I have waisted my whole life running from an inevitable fate, which I have now realised I can change.

Derek

I just saw Sarah kissing that Chris guy. I love Sarah and now she does this. If only I had told her sooner. She has now gone searching for John and I am staying home to see if he comes back. Chris walks into the room interrupting my thoughts.

"I thought you left with Sarah," I say to him.

"No," he replies with a smile.

What is up with this guy? By the looks of it he was enjoying taking away another love of mine, and now he is standing in front of my and smiling evilly. Chris walked up to me and took a gun from behind his back and held it up to my head.

"You know I am not who I say I am," he says.

I point my gun at him.

"Of course your not who you say you are. I had never even heard of you," I say.

"Before you die I want to tell you all my plans," he replies.

"Why would you do that?"

"To make you feel guilty that you couldn't stop this when you had the chance. I am stopping John Connor from ever creating a resistance. No one else will bother either, because everyone will be to frightened to do anything about it without a leader."

Chris is a complete nut job. Why the hell would anyone want to do that?

"Why?" I ask, "Are terminators forcing you to do this?"

"No. I want to. Every human deserves death. The human race is already killing each other very slowly so why not finish it."

"But your human!"

"Yes, but I am doing what is right." "Since when is it your decision!"

He smiled then pulled the trigger. Everything went black.

Sarah

Where can he be? I have been searching the streets for hours and hours. I have called John's cell about 20 times but I have got no reply. Maybe I should let John run away. I have always been stronger than him, so I can just make a resistance. No! I can't do that. I shouldn't try to change the future, who knows what can happen? Thinking about the future brought on the thought of Chris. He seems like a nice guy and I trusted him from the start. But then again Derek had his doubts. I've known Derek for years longer so I should trust him… but Chris is so… much like Kyle. But this could have been his plan all along, try to seduce me, while John destroys everything we have been working for. I decide I should call Derek and see how he is going. I ring is number but the call dies out. Why won't he answer? Is it 'Ignore Sarah Connor Day' or something?

John Henry

Catherine Weaver thinks that I don't know what is fully going on but I hooked my self up to every spy camera in the city. Catherine doesn't even know what is going on. It would waist time to tell her so I am just going ahead with my plans. An imposter named Chris Pollon is trying to make the resistance of the future never exist so the other terminators have the chance to time travel to the present year and kill all of humanity. I must find John Connor and tell him, so the world can be safe. I am currently sitting at the table talking to Ellison about lies. I don't bother to think about his questions, I just say what ever appears in my head. One benefit of being a terminat… no I am not a killer I am just a cyborg, is that being hooked up to the Internet I can just search for answers. I will stand up and run away to John Connor in 4.984 seconds. I do so. Ellison is yelling at me to come sit down but I don't. Catherine Weaver sees me running away and chases after me. I didn't know what it feels like to run until now. I love to run now. I find a parked car and put my hand through the window that is opened 15 centimetres (approximately 6 inches). I reach the lower-window-switch and I open the door. Luckily the keys are already in here. I drive to where I think John and Cameron are.

I finally arrive. I see Sarah Connor outside the door when she looks in my direction and shouts, "Cromarte!"

I realise she is talking about the previous one who owned this body.

"No, my name is John Henry. I am here to save the world," I say calmly.

She points her gun at me and shoots. The built absorbs into my skin and has no effect on me what so ever, but I will need to get the bullet out later. I ignore Sarah Connor and open the door to find Cameron and John sitting on a couch talking. This place is most probably the hotel where John was planning to sleep. Once again I hear that name Sarah Connor called me. John said it this time. Cameron pointed a gun at me and shot.

"I have a message for John Connor," I say, "Please don't turn your back on destiny."

But then I get shot with an explosive bullet that can differently harm me and everything goes black.

Cameron

Chris Pollon is at the door with a gun. He shoots Cromarte. Sarah puts her gun up to Chris realising that the chip inside Cromarte's body is on our side. My sensors start going out of control as I realise thousands of terminators are in a 1-mile radius. The future has changed. It is too late. I have failed my mission to protect John so he can build a resistance, there for I have no purpose. Sarah shoots Chris Pollon and he dies. Doesn't matter anyway, because we are all dead. A skinless terminator walks up to our hotel room. He doesn't bother to smile evilly or have a chat with us. He shots Sarah with his gun.

"This is the end," I tell John.

"I know. And it is all my fault," he replies sadly.

"You are incorrect. It is Chris Pollon's fault. One man can destroy the world. Don't feel guilty, John."

"I really do love you, Cameron. I just wish we had more time together."

"Yes, I agree."

We grab our guns and say that we will go down fighting. The terminator approaches. I am no match for him. We continue to shoot him, but it doesn't do anything. Bummer. He shoots John, and then me and I explode into thousands of metal pieces. This is not tight at all.

Authors Note: This is the final chapter. I am glad I have finally finished the story. As you can see at the end I went into the characters' personal views of the situation to make it a better ending. I was thinking about writing many more chapters and one of them would include a terminator that looks like Jesse, and Derek will find out that you can fall in love with a robot, but I dropped that idea and ended the story. I hope you like it.

Reviews are much appreciated.
