21 . Holding The Fort part 8

POV : MIKAEL 

TIME : 9:30 AM

The terminator arrival time was quickly arriving . The night had been busy but silent . No contestant had arrived

He was assured with the knowledge that the ally terminator would arrive before the contestants and that would act as a signal for him.

" Mika , I'll do my best to help you this time . " Sarah said over their improved walkie talkie. She sounded happy that she would finally be able to contribute to the fight .

Mika had been very busy last night . He had hardly slept but it was worth it . With the addition of the terminators , he could be more creative with what he could create . 

First of all , he managed to create a stationary drone that Sarah would be piloting . He used the upper body of one of the terminators and repaired it well enough that it could do simple movements like aiming and firing .

He then connected the bodies eyes to the old computer which he was forced to fix so that Sarah could easily pilot it while acting as the sentry for the cabin . He also kept the self destruct which she would use when the cabin became overrun with enemies .

In the weapon section , he had managed to make an improvised flame thrower using parts from the pressure cleaner and gas cooker . It was not the best looking item to look at but it would get the job done . At least it had interchangeable valves for the acid and oil . 

His signal picked up the magnetic shifts that started affecting the area and that could signify only one thing . 

" Sarah , make sure you shoot down anything that approaches the cabin and is not me . "

" Roger " 

Mika was assured with he acceptance and he rushed to the area where he hears the cracking of space . He took out his welcoming gift for the terminators . His attack would only be useful if he was the one to throw the first hit . 

POV : OMNIESCENT 

A space rift cracked in the area , opening to welcome the not friendly visitors from the future . 

The darkness of the rift shifted as two groups of five marched forth from the rift both being led by a T-9R . The other terminators in the groups had one fact that easily made them recognizable , they all had the same blank face .

Some of the terminators were damaged , the fake organic material covering their metallic bodies torn and burnt . Most of them were un injured . One had been damaged to the point of being un usable while two others had either a broken arm or leg . 

The space tunnel was obviously not a stable form of travelling through time . 

In total of the ten , 3 would not be of much use in the battle . A crate had followed the terminators from the future . It had also suffered it's own hardship but had managed to survive the journey . 

One of the leader T-9R gazed at the blank faced terminators . Surprisingly , it's face quickly turned to a cruel smirk while it gazed at the damaged terminators and it spoke it's orders to the others . 

" Disassemble them for parts . " Her voice was gentle but the command she gave was cruel ." And all of you , shade those disgusting skins you're wearing . " 

The female T-9R said while reaping apart it's skin cover from it's body . It's purpose had been accomplished . She exposed her metallic body and the red light that was emitted by her very core . 

The others quickly followed her commands with a creepy silence . Their following actions was both fast and gory . To them , it was practically cannibalizing their own kind but the ordered terminator did their jobs with cruel efficiency .

 After the job was done , they also ripped apart the synthetic skins from their bodies . Filling the ground in a gory sight . 

" 9RF .who gave you the authority to command my troops . " The male T-9R finally spoke . It had already shed the human skin covering it's body upon entry . It's questioning nothing but an attempt to regain control

And it had continued to look at the terminators as they scavenged from the damaged ones . Which were from his group!! . Three T-800 completely made useless , and she didn't even ask him .

"9RM . Are you questioning that I did something that would provide us benefit in completing the mission ?. " T9F did not answer but posed her own question .

The 9RM could not respond. An answer would be compromising to it . To go against the mission objective was to go against their creator Skynet and that would not end well for it .

It's emotional program made It feel both anger and fear as he looked at the 9RF . The other terminator had also turned to look at it . They would not hesitate to shoot him down if he was a traitor.

" The mission is of more importance . " He said backing down and the 9RF smiled mockingly .

" Start unloading the weapons. " She told the others after they had fully disassembled the terminators for their weapon parts . Which would be added to any damaged terminator for the upcoming battle .

The terminators did as they were told .The crate was of two compartments . The first one held the terminators weapons and the other had the T-7T SCOUT .They opened the huge create and the spider robot crawled out . " Scout the area ." THE 9RM said to it . 

" Click "

Even before the T-7TS could start it's job , a falling object had attracted the terminators attention .

In the previous battle with the two T9R , Mika had noticed the terminators did not really know how to process how much damage an item could cause them . They were not programed to have a threat detection level and he was going to use that fact with great prejudice . 

So when he threw his welcoming gift to crowded terminators , instead of responding on going for cover , they looked at his approaching 'GIFT' . To Mika , he wondered how the terminators had even managed to corner the future humans as much as they did with how stupid and predictable their actions were .

The scrambler , a sort of EMP powered by the plasma core landed in the crowd signifying the beginning of the show . 

" WROOOWWWSHH "

A beautiful wave of energy blasted from the small device and the weapons effect took effect .

[ Damage report : The EMP blast has taken effect . It has precedence over the terminators . Stun damage is in effect . Lasting a period of 30 seconds . Critical strike has also been achieved . Critical strike has precedence due to the terminators being technological being . ]] 

The lucky few among the terminators started behaving faulty. As if the scrambler had made them drunk as their core processor chips started malfunctioning . The unlucky had crashed to the ground , their chips completely fried . 

The two T-9R were in better conditions . Their hyper alloy armors had managed to protect them well enough but their movements had become significantly slower .

It was like a harvest feast for Mika . The sweat meal was practically begging to be devoured by him . 

He quickly manuvered from the tree he had taken as his hiding spot and jumped down to land in the clearing . A ruckus of the still surviving enemies . 

He almost pitied them but he turned to the female T-9R and smiled kindly . 

" Maybe getting rid of the synthetic skin wasn't such a good idea . " Mika had rejoiced when the order had been given . It was like lady luck had been smiling upon him . The skin would have maybe prevented the action of the scrambler and when it was removed , their defeat had only been brought forward . 

He stretched lazily . That's how much the terminators were a threat to him now . But still, he needed to do as much damage as he could . 

" Lass es Krieg sein "
