Reign of the Cameron: Chapter 4, by The Crusader
Originally posted on October 9th, 2009
RUN! He told himself as he pushed himself even further ahead. He had to get out of the sewers, before the Endo caught up with him. It wasn't like Staff Sergeant Lewis would survive if he got out, but at least he would mislead the Terminator who was after him. If he kept going through these tunnels, he would eventually reach an entrance to the Resistance Base; a fact that he had to keep hidden from the Terminator. He could never make it to the base now, but if he died here, the Terminator might know where he was heading. Lewis could only hope that he would reach the ladder that lead to the surface.
Lewis was unarmed and far from 100%. In addition to being tired and hungry, Lewis's 200 pound body was bruised all over. Worst of all, one of his ribs had been shattered by the Endo's metal fist. It hurt him to breathe, let alone run. His dark brown eyes found it difficult to see in the dark. It didn't make it any better that Lewis usually wore glasses, but they were lost in his last battle. Everything was a blur, though this was certainly not the first time that the Staff Sergeant had to survive without his glasses.
The Metal footsteps sounded behind him. They sounded close, but Lewis wasn't about to look behind him and see just how close the machine was. Lewis tried his best to move quickly, but with a broken rib…
The metallic hand of the T800 grabbed him and threw him into the wall. Lewis lay there on the ground, trying desperately to stay conscious. He could clearly see the red eyes of the metal monster that was about to accomplish another Termination mission. Then, it more than likely would find its way to the Resistance Base. Lewis realized at that moment that he had failed General Reese. He had failed the entire human race.
And then Lewis once again heard metal footsteps. The Terminator turned away and looked in the direction that it came from. Another Endo ran right at the one who attacked Lewis. The new machine attacked kicked the other right off the ground.
Lewis began to wonder if what he was seeing was real, or if his vision truly was THAT bad. It seemed that this new Terminator, a rather small endo was fighting the other. There was something about the body structure that seemed different, and much more flexible. This new endo seemed, somehow more…feminine…
'No. Wait. What am I saying?' Lewis thought.
Within seconds the more "feminine" Terminator had twisted the other Terminator's arms and legs to the point where it could barely move. Then the female cyborg did something to the other Terminator's skull and somehow deactivated the T800. Lewis couldn't see well enough to understand what had happened, but he heard the sound of the deactivation. He knew at that point that he was safe. Or was he? Now the red eyes of the female cyborg looked right at him. Was Lewis merely out of the frying pan and into the fire?
The female cyborg held out its metallic hand.
"I'm not your enemy." It said. The voice was human, and it sounded somewhat familiar.
"How the Hell could that be-"
"I do not have time to explain. I will heal your injuries and send you on your way to your base."
Lewis shook his head.
"If you do not trust me, I understand. I will not follow you and I do not ask that you reveal the location of your base."
"What do you ask?"
"There is a young man, approximately 16 years old in your army now. Is that correct?"
Lewis wasn't sure whether or not to answer.
"His name is John Connor. I want you to give him a message for me."
The female cyborg stepped closer, making Lewis even more uncomfortable.
"Tell him that Cameron is here. And she's sorry she hurt him." Her voice sounded full of anguish. "And she misses him. So much."
Lewis was surprised at what he was hearing. No Terminator, even the ones that posed as humans, had ever spoken with so much emotion.
"Please tell John to come and find me." She continued. "I'll be waiting for him."
End Chapter 4.
