Terminator Take Down

Catching the signal from one of her friends, Angela brushed her skirt, took a deep breath and walked towards where he was sitting. She approached him with a speed like a snail, only a little faster. As she got there, she began to see a side of him she hadn’t ever seen of him before, because he was overly competitive to everybody who was in his line of sight. Whether or not it was eating food or just getting to class, he always attempted to beat whoever was there. She asked, “Do you want to race?” He just replied a simple, “Sure,” and left the room for lunch. Angela knew she was going to beat him, just because she was “the fastest on the field”.

The race eventually came, after school. The day was unusually cool, as fog combined with mist began to roll down the hill behind the school in an eerie way. “Three, Two, One, Go!” The referee yelled, as they bolted down the straight road. Angela ran like Ben Johnson, The second fastest man on the planet, but the boy ran like Usain Bolt, dashing quite fast. Then the ground began shuddering, as the trees began to quiver and vibrate from strong steps. All of a sudden, a heavy metal terminator, steaming from quick transport back to the past, had just emerged.

Everyone had just begun staring when the robot popped out through the trees. It turned its head slowly, looking at the kids and identifying them one by one by ID. The terminator eventually came across the one it was looking for, a boy named Kyle Reese. He just started running as soon as he saw it, and the others just watched in horror as one by one, the terminator just knocked kids over like bowling pins. Angela quickly began running after Kyle to learn a little bit more about him, and to devise a plan to ultimately destroy the terminator.

As soon as Angela caught up with Kyle, she began interrogating him, asking him questions, like when he was born and why he was here. She had gotten all of her answers, and summarized it all up. Kyle Reese was a boy born in 2008, who traveled back in time to try to evade some of the Skynet terminators that were hunting him down in order to ensure that an order was created. Then a plan was devised, one that would destroy the terminator.

Kyle ran and attracted the terminator’s attention, and led it to a nearby construction site. Angela was there, ready with some barrels of cement, and the crane that had a metal beam hanging from it. As Kyle ran through the site, the cement barrels fell off due to the vibrations sent through the ground, landing in front and on top of the terminator. The cement hardened, then completely solidified, causing the terminator to slow to a stop. The kids both thought they had defeated it, but they were wrong. It broke free of its concrete jail and decided to attack the helper. Angela didn’t see it coming, so she was grabbed and pulled around like a rag doll, until she fell unconscious. Kyle ran for his life.

As soon as Kyle got away, he went to the police station and asked for some assistance in attacking a crazed mechanical beast. Every officer there laughed and blew him off. No one knows what happened to Angela, because by the next day, the terminator was gone, and there was no evidence of a struggle. The End.
