Terminator: Evolution
Ch.5
Disclamer: I do not own any of this
The sun began to rise over the city, beginning the dawn of a new day, the sunlight shines through the window, awakeing Ezekiel from his slumber. He quickly streched and felt a lot better than he did the other night. He then looked around and decided to roam around Lin's apartment for a bit. Ezekiel started looking at the massive collection of films that were on the shelf, A combination of Sci-fi, action, and even some anime.
"Like what you see so far"said Lin
"AHH! jeez, man, you almost gave me a heart attack" Ezekiel said who turned around and saw that Lin was in his defaut form.
"I figured this would freak you out" Lin said as he morphed back into his human form.
"I noticed your little collection here, you know, for a chrome-colored killing machine, you have good taste" said Ezekiel.
"Well, I've come to enjoy you humans form of entertainment, your multiple versions of what the future would look like kind of amazes me" says Lin.
"Really, that's great..I guess" said Ezekiel.
Ezekiel examined the rest of the apartment and saw what appeared to be several newspaper articles hung up on the wall.
"Uniformed officer stops ruthless gunmen"
"Iron man" cop survives twelve shots and ends hostage crisis"
"Supercop takes down violent gang, puts a stop to drug operation"
"You sure been keeping busy over the years,huh?" said Ezekiel.
"You seem impressed by them" Lin said.
"Well, considering what you are, I figured someone like you would want to keep a low profile" Ezekiel said
"I've tried, but these things always happen and, as a police officer, it's my job to put a stop to these conflicts" said Lin.
"At least you're forgeing your own path and doing something positive" said Ezekiel.
"Yeah, but enough about me, since you're from the resistance, what brings down here to San Diego, isn't the resistance located in Los Angeles" Lin said.
"The main resistence base is in LA, but there are multiple resistance cells located all over the world, SkyNet isn't getting rid of us that easily" said Ezekiel.
"What makes you think that can stop judgment day this time around, Everytime you people destory a supercomputer or blow up a tech company, you're merely delaying the inevitable" said Lin.
"I got a plan, but I need to meet up with the rest of the squad that was sent back here" said Ezekiel.
"Let's get going then, I'm sure your squadmates are expecting for you to show up anyway" Lin said
As day turned into night, Lin and Ezekiel ventured outside, on their way to meet up with Ezekiel's unit. They ventured down the street, looking for a vehicle to find.
"Don't think it's a good idea to take some random car off the street, somebody might report it stolen" Ezekiel says.
"Don't worry, my car is just down the block from here" says Lin.
The two men got down the end of block and saw a muscle car parked near the corner. It was fairly nice looking vehicle with a modifed body kit and a chrome paintjob.
"Seriously? you color-cordinated your car to match your original form. That's kinda tacky" said Ezekiel.
"You wanna find your friends or do you wanna keep making fun of my sense of style" said Lin.
"Alright, Alright man, sorry" said Ezekiel as he got in the car.
The pair then proceded to drive down to nightclub where the other resistance soldiers were located at, Ezekiel kept his eyes peeled just in case him and Lin were being followed. Several minutes later, the two men arrived at the club, Lin parked the car across the street, examining the area which contained a line of people standing outside of the entrance, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"So, this is the place you were talking about, you sure they're in there?" says Ezekiel.
"Yes, I'm sure, this is the spot where your friends come together and plan out the next phase of their mission" Lin said.
"And how do you know all of this?" Ezekiel said.
"I was working undercover a while back in order to see if there was narcotics being sold. I overheard some people talking about how to attack this tech company that came on the scene after the demise of Cyberdyne" said Lin.
"What's the name of this company?" Ezekiel asked.
"They're called the Nexus Corporation, they specialise in Artifical Intelligence and creating new technology that could improve the future" Lin said.
"Sounds just like Skynet, well I guess this is the part where we go our seperate ways don't ya think?" asked Ezekiel.
"Don't worry about it, hopefully this plan of yours works out, whatever it is" Lin said.
Ezekiel exited the car and walked towards the club. He saw that the line was very long and he didn't feel like standing around like a sitting duck, so he decided to sneak in through the back door. Using a bobby pin to pick the lock, Ezekiel sneaks in through the dry storage area and makes his way to the actual nightclub itself. Ezekiel looked around searching for his squadmates, but couldn't find them anywhere.
Ezekiel contiuned to wander around the club, the sound of loud music playing over the speakers setting the vibe of a techno-noir environment, He then saw an asian woman on the other end of the club with a group of people that he immediately recognized. Ezekiel soon began to walk over to the group when he saw, out of the corner of his eye, a mysterious figure enter the nightclub and was walking towards them as well.
The tall, brooding man was wearing a trenchcoat that consealed a large handgun as he marched towards the group that Ezekiel discovered. Ezekiel could tell by the cold, emotionless look on the man's face that he was a terminator and he was about to kill off his intended targets. The terminator pulled out his gun, which had laser scope attached to it, pointed it and was about to pull the trigger when Ezekiel intervined.
"GET DOWN! HE'S GOT A GUN!" shouted Ezekiel.
Everybody started to run out of the club in panic causing absolute chaos, however only 4 stayed behind. Those 4 people then pulled out guns, opened fire and took cover afterwards. Ezekiel ducked for cover as gunfire erupted, hoping not to get hit.
"Zeke! get behind us!" the asian female yelled.
Ezekiel quickly got behind his squadmates who kept shooting at the terminator in an effort to put him down.
"We gotta fall back, the cops will be here any minute and we don't wanna shoot it out with them" the man named Kevin said.
The group of resistance soliders, with Ezekiel in tow, rushed out through the back door and ran down the block to escape back to their hideout. The terminator came out of the nightclub and returned fire, bullets barely missing their intended targets. The terminator soon heard police sirens in the distance and decided to flee, ploting to hunt down the team at a later time.
Ezekiel and the others made it to the parking lot where they got inside a van and sped off, making a quick getaway.
"Man, that was a close one, thanks Zeke." The man known as Max said.
"No problem, I'm glad I found you guys." Ezekiel said.
"How did you know where to find us." Another man named Xavier replied with.
"It doesn't matter how he found us, We'll talk about that later once we get back to the hideout." The asian woman named Grace said as she drove the van.
"Looks like that terminator isn't trying to hunt us down, weird." Kevin said.
The resistance squad, reunited with Ezekiel, sped down through the streets on the way towards the highway. Now that Ezekiel with them, they can finally put together a plan to take down SkyNet once and for all.
Meanwhile
On the back streets of the city, a blue sphere of energy formed and a human male soon appeared from it. The man was revealed to be Micheal Bogard, but something was strange. Micheal immediately started moving towards the nearest location to acquire clothing. There was something inside of him that controling his movements, making him do things that he wouldn't normally do.
Micheal knew what was inside of him and he was absouletly horrified.
Well, there's the 5th chapter guys. Sorry for the long wait, I had a bad case of Writers block.
BTW, here's the films that were in on Lin's shelf: AKIRA, Testuo: The Iron Man, The Matrix Trilogy, Universal Solider, Hard Boiled, The Killer, Ghost in the Shell, Timecop, Blade Runner, Shoot em' Up, and Cowboy Bebop: The movie.
