Chapter 24

It really is a political shitstorm in Washington, DC and Sacramento when the 149th Armored Regiments was wiped out, and their war machine goes on rampage on the streets of LA. The reports are inconclusive, from 5.000 soldiers, only 1.000 survived. Their reports to the military give grim stories.

An investigation sent by the Army under guard by Special Forces, which was sent the next day after the Tanks and other Vehicles were far away from the camp found that the Colonel and the Regiments General Staff died hours before the incident even happened. Their first theory that Colonel Russ was betraying them was invalidated, now they think a dangerous shapeshifter is on the loose. Causing distrust on every level of government.

The Cyberdyne and Department of Defense are on the scrutiny by the Federal House and Senate as the report of their act to delay at every turn the LA Police demand for help since Sunset Boulevard shoot out, and the hacking of military hardware are pointing to Cyberdyne and DOD. So Washington is in Chaos, and this Chaos delays the Federal response on LA deteriorating security conditions.

LAPD HQ hearing that the National Guard rather than helping them caused more chaos in the city finally decided to totally barricade themselves, Precincts are calling for back ups. As calls for reinforcement were not heard, gangs could smell Police weakness. So they start to go down the street, some stupidly try to take over the dead Tanks and IFV by refueling them.

All this time the only thing preventing all those machine going rampages is lack of fuel, so the act of refueling causes them to reactivate and restart their rampage all over again.

Thankfully the number of violent Gangs was reduced in the last few months by the existence of the Stitch Killer, so as right now majority of them just barricaded their street to keep peace. Some of the more violent one clash with armed refugee who are trying to get out of the city.

Riots and lootings still happened, as this is LA, and this America where poverty still reigns supreme and economic inequality is bragged by the elite.

.........…

Cameron drove their trucks through the burning and quiet streets as most people stayed home in this condition. When suddenly a blast was heard and the truck lost control.

As the trucks quickly go to a empty food stand, destroying it and ended when it hits a palm tree.

"He he he he he he, my luck is good Sarah Connor. I just passed by when I found a big fish" a melodious male voice was heard from outside.

Cameron quickly gets out of the truck and draws her gun. So does Sarah with her MP5 she got from dead mercs. It was at that moment a man, whose face looks like medieval nobility showed up.

Sarah was startled, she remembers this guy is one of those who attack John. So she quickly fires at him as she shouts "Cameron, this guy is one of Skynet lackeys. He try to kill John"

Cameron also directly fire at the enemy, but the man changed to bats and quickly dash to SArah as he materialized in front of Sarah his voice was heard "You are very rude madam, my code name is Vamp, you look into my eye, give me your life…."

Sarah suddenly feels weak, as her eye lost focus "you are right, please take my life".

Cameron quickly shoots Vamp.

"Damn, forget that still have this tin can lady over here" he growled.

Vamp changes to blood mist and bat as Cameron keeps shooting at him, Vamp quickly changes his target to Cameron as she was more dangerous than others. Sarah, who finally freed from Vamp influence, now helps Cameron by shooting the bats. She doesn't need to worry harming Cameron.

Vampire who was shot at by those two was enraged. He unleashes a blood red aura right after that an energy blast happened. Cameron was thrown back, Sarah who is much farther than Cameron also thrown back impacting a lamp post.

Quickly changing himself to be a small bat, the bats quickly flock pass Cameron straight to Sarah. He changed to his main body as one of his hands strangled Sarah Connor.

"Look at my eye. Tell me where John Connor is!" he said as his eye was shining red.

Sarah quickly shut her eyes. Both of her hands quickly hold Vamp's hand trying to break it off.

"You fucking monster" said Sarah as she kicked the man in the nut then stab the man with a knife she put in her thigh. Vamp was thrown back and wounded. His anger rise and he bring out his thin red sword.

He no longer cared if Sarah died. But before he could attack her, a punch from a little girl came right at him and threw him back further. Tsunade came out and punched the man away from Sarah.

He could stay standing, but his anger rises. "You all just DIEEEEE!" as blood red sword aura start to raise from his body. But before he could continue his attack, a sword was thrown at him at scary speed. When he see the sword he was startled. The sword form was like a giant needle, and he found John Connor was using it with ease.

"You dare to harm my mother you fucking bat? Die!" he said as he dash. Vamp was forced to deflect the sword strike of John. Worse as John bring out his gun and start shoot him at close range forcing him to bat form to escape.

"Tsunade, Fire!" Leon shout.

Tsunade quickly whisper

"Katon : Dai Endan"

"Fuuton : Reppusho"

Both jutsu combine, becoming a flame storm targeting the Vampire.

"Damn you, damn all of you! I would not go down like this" scream Vamp. After the flame recedes, what they see is the man still standing but with charred hands and feet. Leon quickly dash again, while Cameron fires some shots at the man.

"I won't let some idiots make problems on my world you third grade side characters" said Leon with a vindictive voice.

"You...… you are.....an L" scream Vamp in horor.

"Go die!" Nuibari quickly stitched the Vamp body in place. Then they fire the same jutsu again at the same place with more power. A towering inferno rises up in that place.

When it's all over, Vamp's body is left as ashes.
