Soundly outmatched, the terminator lies on a metal grate, face down, badly damaged, reaching for its sawed off shotgun. The technologically superior T-1000 calmly picks up a metal pole, drives it into the terminator’s back, and twists the pole back and forth in a manner one can only assume would wreak maximum possible damage. The terminator reaches back in a futile attempt to stop the attack. Metal screeches, the pole passes through the terminator’s solar plexus thereby impaling it on the metal grate walkway, and little lightning bolts shoot across its leather-clad body. The terminator ceases to struggle and goes limp, only inches away from the sawed-off shotgun. Its exposed mechanical eye, once glowing red, slowly dims and turns off. The T-1000, having disposed of its opponent, leaves to complete its mission: locate and terminate John Connor.
Moments later the terminator’s eye once again begins to glow. The machine is not destroyed…
