Terminator: Evolution

Ch. 4

The T-1000, now known as Lin, was driving through the streets with Ezekiel in tow, who still has liquid poly alloy covering his mouth. Lin looked in the rear-view mirror and saw him paralyzed by fear. Lin assumed that the young man was thinking he was gonna die, but all Lin wanted to was to ask a few questions. Lin parked his car in a vacant parking lot, got out and let out Ezekiel, who still had a horrified look , and removed the liquid metal from his face.

"Ugh! Yeuch! God, that's nasty!" said Ezekiel.

"Quit your whining, you mind telling me what you're doing here" Lin said.

"Do I have a choice,(Lin's arm morphed into a blade), well...okay then, i just wanted to, you know, take a vacation and see the sights" says Ezekiel.

Lin puts his arm blade to Ezekiel's throat "Do you think I'm an idiot" he says.

"Okay, Okay, I was sent back here to help out the resistance find a way to take down SkyNet, there, are you happy" said Ezekiel.

"Very, now do you know why you were being hunted down by a T-X" Lin said.

"Yeah, he said tracked the energy signature from when I arrived here" Ezekiel said.

"That's right, it's also how I tracked you down" said Lin

"Wait a minute, you knew I was being hunted down and you didn't bother to help!" Ezekiel shouted.

"Well, I felt like it wasn't my problem, plus I liked watching you squirm" says Lin.

"Screw you, anyway, I gotta be on my way to meet up with other members of the resistance" Ezekiel said.

"I think I know where they are" Lin said.

"You do, where?" said Ezekiel.

"Well I don't know where exactly, but I do know where they meet up at" Said Lin.

"Which place?" asked Ezekiel.

"There's this club downtown, fairly new, they play mostly old-school industrial music, but it's also the place where your friends frequent at" Lin says.

"Okay then, let's go" Ezekiel said.

Both men got back in the police car and continued to drive further into the city, while riding in the car with Lin, Ezekiel decided to strike up a conversation with him in an effort to kill time.

"How did you get here anyway?" asked Ezekiel

"I was the only T-1000 model that managed to escape from SkyNet's purging of my kind" Lin said.

"Why would SkyNet try to destroy yoy guys, You're pretty much the best weapon they got" said Ezekiel.

"It's because we were getting smarter and SkyNet was scared that we might turn against them, so that's why they started mass producing the T-X unit and began getting rid of us" Lin explained.

"Well that sucks, at least you managed to get away, but SkyNet knows you escaped and will do whatever they can to destroy you" Ezekiel said.

"Believe me, they've tried, but I destoryed every terminator that came after me, they didn't stand a chance" Lin said

While the pair was driving down the road, a black van pulled out from an allyway and began pursing them. Ezekiel was looking at the side mirror when he saw the van coming up fast.

"Lin, we got company" said Ezekiel.

"I know, hang on" Lin said as he pressed on the gas pedal in an effort to lose the van.

Both vehicles sped down the street, one trying to escape and one trying to pursue.

"Quick, give me your gun" Ezekiel said to Lin

Ezekiel was handed the gun and started firing at the vehicle behind him, hitting the van mutliple times, leaving bullet holes. The van sped up and hit the back of the car, causing it to swerve a bit. One of the assailants in the van was armed with an assault rilfe and started firing back at the police cruiser, destroying the lights on the roof of the car and shattering the back window.

"We gotta shake them somehow" Ezekiel said.

"Hold on, I got a plan" says Lin who made a sharp right turn and decided to cut through an alleyway, but the van was still on their tail. Ezekiel fired more shots into the van, this time hitting one of the men inside, but to Ezekiel's horror, the bullets didn't effect him, the bullets that hit him only tore apart his flesh to reveal metal underneath, exposing him as a Terminator.

"These guys are Terminators and from what i'm guessing, they're T-800 models" says Ezekiel.

"Okay, listen, what I'm about to do is a little intense, so you might wanna put on your seatbelt" said Lin.

Lin then cut through another alley, then made a hard right towards the street. It appeared that the pair finally shook the two Terminators off their tail, then Lin made a 180 turn and brought the car to a stop.

"How many bullets do you have left?" Lin asked.

"Not many, why?" Ezekiel said.

"When that van comes speeding down here, I want you to shoot out their windshield" Said Lin.

"Well, what are you gonna do?" asked Ezekiel.

"Don't worry about that" said Lin, who grabed a shotgun from the back seat.

Both Lin and Ezekiel saw the black van containing the two Terminators, speeding down the empty street towards them. Lin then floored the gas pedal hard and started speeding towards the van.

"Okay, start shooting!" Lin Shouted.

Ezekiel fired the last remaing bullets at the van's windshield, shattering it. Afterwards, Lin blasted a hole through the windshield of his car with the shotgun. Lin then turned into his liquid form, poured out through the hole in the windshield, and reformed on top of the hood of car.

"oh, boy, here it comes" said Ezekiel as he fastend his seatbelt, preparing for head-on collison. Both vehicles soon crashed, sending Lin flying into the back of the van, which had more T-800s sitting there. Lin quickly morphed both his arms into blades and began slicing through the T-800s with ease. Lin exited out of the van, looking back at the sliced up metal torsos of the T-800s. Lin walked back to the police cruiser, which is now totalled, to check on Ezekiel. Ezekiel lifted his head up from the airbag, which deployed upon impact, wondering what had happened.

"Ughhh, damn that hurt, well, thank goodness for airbags" Ezekiel said.

Lin walked over to Ezekiel's side and pulled him out of the car.

"We'll go look for your friends tomorrow, but right now we're gonna head down to my place so you can recover" said Lin.

"Did you get them all?" Ezekiel asked.

"Yeah, they're all destroyed" Lin said.

After taking an abandoned car, the pair made it over to the downtown area where Lin's apartment was located. Once they got inside, Ezekiel laid down on the couch, exhausted from the events that just transpired. After Ezekiel fell asleep, Lin walked to his room, there was king-sized bed, a plasma TV, a big closet with lots of clothing(but they're just for show), and a large plastic tub. Lin then morphed into a silver puddle and flowed into the container. It was his own way of resting as he liked being in his natural form. The two men would rest up as they would need to prepare for what lies ahead of them tomorrow.

Well, that was long one. Okay guys, I'm gonna take short break for now until I flesh out the rest story, But be sure to leave some feedback =)
