22 . Holding The Fort Part 9

Sorry for the delay in release check out the Author note below

POV : MIKAEL

Mika watched as the female T-9R did what he considered to be frowning . It could do nothing much but struggle to regain control over it's faulty body . A true pity . He would have enjoyed an exchange of words .

2 seconds had passed and Mika approached the T-7T instantly . He quickly located the opening hatch for it's processor chip and took out the damaged one . He took out his reprogramed one and inserted it to the T-7T . 

Mika had pre paired for this very moment . Yes , he could have put the chip in the T-900 ,which was not only better but also more deadly but , the previous ones he had fought before had been to damaged . 

And the ones he was fighting now seemed to both have an emotional program , a fact that would have them self destruct before they could be compromised . 

The color of the T-7T changed from red to green . It was now considered a friendly . 

It still could not move but once it could , it had it's orders that it would follow devotedly .

Ten seconds had passed . 

Five terminators remained . Two from the original seven had their chips completely fried . Of the five , three were T-800 . They struggled to move from where they had crushed on the ground . 

The two T-9R were still standing , Their movements were at least better but , it was more like a faulty machine than anything else .

Mika pulled out the flame thrower . He aimed at the three T-800 . He smiled as he watched their struggle increase . It was a funny concept . For a being which did not understand the value of life to struggle so much when faced with death . 

" How pitiful , let me free you from this cruelty you call living . " 

" Fussssshhhhhhh "

What sprayed out from the machine first was pure acid . Even the terminators tough metallic body fell to the glory that was pure acid . The flames came next washing over the terminators after the acid had done it's job . 

A small explosion occurred when the two forces met together completely enshrouding the three . 

Mika was mesmerized by the pure art that was in front of him . Their was a certain beauty in fire that seemed to over take his very being . 

Ten seconds remained . 

Mika moved to the two T-9R and an idea struck him . He looked at the space rift that was still there and he smiled wickedly . 

He held the leg of the male T-9R and easily overpowered it . It's futile struggle did not do much . 

Mika felt that if the terminator could speak , it would plead with him for mercy . 

The fact that it felt emotions did not matter match to him . Maybe if it could plead with him , they could come to an agreement but on fortunately for it . . .

Mika was testing a theory at this very moment . Could he weaponize it . If he remembered correctly . When inorganic matter came in contact with the portal , the portal would dis stabilize and explode . That was actually the main reason why the terminators were covered with the synthetic organic skin . 

Mika looked at the terminator which was quickly regaining control over itself , 

" The world is a cruel place " 

" BOOOOMM "

Mika heard the terminator yell it's last scream before the rift exploded throwing him back . 

He felt his back crash against countless trees and he final before stopping . A wave of pain rushed through him but he ignored it and struggled to stand .

" That was a very stupid idea . " 

< Even geniuses have their moments of stupidity >

Mika was almost coughing blood at letting his intrusive thoughts take over . The time for the scramblers effect was over and Mika walked back to the crash site slowly , questioning his sanity for the choices he had made .

Most of the things had been blown away . The crate and the T-7T was what he was really worried about . He could not loose both of them at once , that would be devastating . But the fact that he had survived at least meant they would be in a better position .

Mika wondered where the remaining T-900 was . If he was thinking like it , it would either try to finish me first or he would go accomplish the mission objective fast . 

Mika reached the blast sight and it was not as bad as he thought it would be . The blast was mostly concussive so not much damage was done . 

" CRACK CRACK "

Mika turned to look at where the sound came from . And approaching him was a clearly damaged T-800 on it's last legs approaching him . It was melted and still on fire but it still struggled to walk .

Looking further away past the approaching T-800 , Mia saw the female T-900 running away . It was headed in the direction of the cabin where Sarah was . The approaching terminator was probably it's distraction to buy time . 

Mika did not follow the T-900 . Realistically , if he run after the T-900 the damaged terminator would not be much of a problem . He just had to walk around it and rush to the T-900 but Mika did not .

His first reason was to give Sarah an opportunity to see what she would be dealing with and also allow her to blow of some of that anger which was quickly growing in her . The other reason though was the distinctive sound he had been hearing for a while now .

The sound was still far away but it was quickly approaching . The rumbling of an engine . If Mika remembered correctly , only one character in the terminator world used a vehicle that made that much noise . 

And if anything bad did happen , the T-7T was also following the T-900 , 

Mika turned to look at the damaged T-800 .

He pulled out his double barrel shotgun and waited for it's approach . 

" CRAAAAAOWW "

The T-800 screamed a robotic yell and lunged at him . Like a last denial of a faith it knew it would experience . 

Mika looked at the T-800 in wonder . Something had changed about it . As if it had experienced a type of growth . 

Mika dodged to the side and the T-800 fell right beside him . The fire that should have been melting it's body started behaving weirdly .  As if it were somehow weaving the terminators body

Mika used observe on it and the stats he expected to see were gone . Question marks filled the page and a new skill that he could not also see had been born !!!

Was this an evolution . But how . How could a machine evolve in the middle of a battle . To his knowledge , this had never happened to any terminator if he recalled well enough

Or was this caused by his presence . That was most likely . The terminator was changing in front of his own eyes and Mika was obviously not stupid enough to let that happen 

" BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG "

Mika unloaded on the terminators head while it was still down . Quick and efficiently . The terminator stopped moving and the fire died away .

Mika was curious about what could have happened but the deed was already done . 

He also could clearly hear the fight at the cabin had and he needed to get back quickly . The enemy contestants would be arriving at any moment . 

For now , he had to collect all the loot that was left behind
