Chapter 01 - Need more Data.

The heavy pouring from the sky with a stormy night the trees in the Four Eternities Jungle could barely stay rooted when an otherworldly thunder smite on them and spilt clean one in half but it didn't vanish in spark but kept growing in a ball of blue fire until it suddenly snuffed revealing a humanly figure on his knees.

T-800 stood up mechanically while getting drenched in heavy rain as his eyes scanned around for information.

[Protocol- Terminate John Conner initiated]

[Locate T-1000 and evaluate progress]

[Failed to locate T-1000]

[Initiating intercepting local data]

[Scanning Radio waves - No possible signals detected on any bandwidth]

[Local Data collection initiated]

Its scanner scanned around in darkness but for him, darkness was not a hindrance at all as it focused on a plant swaying heavily in the wind.

[Unknown Plant life - Not matching with current database.]

It focused on another plant.

[Unknown Plant life.]

It focused on a tree and got the same result. It then bent down and scooped the wet soil in his hands as his eyes scanned.

[20% known elements matched the database, the rest are unknown.]

He then stood up and he moved his head mechanically around him as his eyes scanned everything around him.

[Calculating various environmental data.]

[Atmospheric pressure varies, needs more data.]

[Need More Data. Need more Data.]

As his logical circuits buzzed for more data, he moved towards whatever it has deduced will be the most optimal course of action. His eyes kept scanning the towering trees swaying in the harsh winds and heavy rain as more unknown variables kept adding to his data drives. Rain kept pouring on him as he kept walking naked until it detected something ahead in the mud.

He walked towards it and picked it up. It was the skull of a human.

[Scanning...Possible human bone part. Need more Data.]

He looked carefully and pulled the side teeth, pulling a tiny scrap of a tissue and he ate it emotionlessly.

[Human genome detected. 93 percent match the records. Bone structure is much denser than normal humans. Need more Data.]

As he let go of the skull, he proceeded further, following his logical choices in heavy rain when he encountered more bones and part of the human skeleton.

[DNA matched the previous data, possible single male human individual. Marks of physical trauma evident. bite indents on bones confirmed.]

It confirmed that the scattered bones are of a single man who died from a beast attack. He left the bones as it was and walked forward again. The rain showed no sign of slowing down, but it did not hinder him at all.

He encountered various bones and kept collecting the data, but his hunt for John Connor will need to be put on hold as not a single data point towards it. However, he is the terminator. He has no sense of loss or defeat or stress. He will do anything to complete his directive, his mission to kill John Connor.

He unwaveringly kept moving forward as he followed the patterns of creatures that had visited this place before. After following the trails, he found himself in front of a cave as a new set of data entered his processing cores.

[Scent of Human blood detected]

He walked inside naked with no restraint or caution as it scanned the interior of the cave.

[Human footmarks detected.]

Scanner picked various human footmarks on the muddy floor as he kept moving forward with even speed. His scanner suddenly detected a light from a fire far inside in the cave along with various echoes.

[Possible human voices detected.]

He kept his speed the same and walked making no much noise as suddenly noises died. He didn't stop and kept walking inside towards the source of the light as he entered a cavern with a fire at its center illuminating various corpses surrounding it, along with a pile of bones in one corner and a heap of metal scraps on another side.

"Hahahahahahahaha! Praise the Uru Buddha! To deliver us this succulent feast."

A group of people walked out of the darkness but for T-800 it was not new information as he could see them perfectly because of his heat vision. The leader who praised the Uru Buddha walked towards T-800 happily like a kid walked towards his toy. T-800 also noticed something and walked towards him emotionally. The leader pulled a sharp dagger and started salivating, revealing his fangs and beast-like teeth.

"Your clothes, give them to me, now." demanded T-800 unexpressively in his Austrian accent.

Suddenly the whole cavern got silent for a moment and then a loud laughter echoed as everyone laughed hysterically. "What are you babbling about? Are you a barbarian who does not know the common language?" as the leader came closer, he eyed the naked bulging muscles of the T-800.

[Language does not match the data - a closer match is Mandarin]

"Your clothes, give them to me, now." demanded T-800 again, but in Mandarin and it sparked laughter again. "Look Wang Yu! He is mimicking you. Are you two related?" They all looked towards one guy who had a speech impediment which did not amuse Wang Yu at all. Wang Yu pulled his dagger in anger at attacking T-800, but when the tall leader glared, he cowered back.

"You have guts and I enjoy them for breakfast." The leader brushed the sharp knife on T-800's muscular chest, creating a sharp, bloody cut, but instead of an expected flow of blood he only got a crimson wet cut which was visibly healing it up in front of their eyes, shocking them immediately.

T-800 didn't waste time at all on language as he grabbed the collar of the leader with both hands and gave a quick knee to his manhood. There was a muffled crunch as the leader's eggs turned into slime and he lost his consciousness within a second.

The smirking and laughter died down immediately as their powerful leader got knocked out in one hit, freezing them in shock. T-800 didn't waste time as he started disrobing the leader, which matched his size. Suddenly everyone snapped out of their daze as they quickly analyzed the situation, seeing the wide opening for attack.

All five of them instinctively did the same thing as they drew their daggers and lunged towards the vital parts of the golden-haired demon. T-800, who was disrobing, the unconscious leader suddenly raised his left hand and grabbed the incoming dagger with his bare hand and swung his right hand towards others.

Like an iron rod smashing on fruits, T-800 right hand smashed the head of the nearest one and losing no momentum struck the chest of another, caving it like a wet paper. The third and fourth one were a little late in their attack so they were able to avoid the attack in midair, but that was the only thing they managed as it horrified them to see the gory outcome of their partners.

T-800 quickly maneuvered his right hand and brought it closer to block the rest of the two dagger attacks. The tip of the two daggers plunged into the hand and that's the only thing they managed creating a metallic chink sound.

T-800 stood up, towering over all of them as he looked at them emotionlessly. His inexpressive demeanor instilled terror in them. Wasting no time, one of them ran towards the exit while others tried their best to skit away from this golden-haired demon.

The dagger gripped in the T-800's left hand flew with precision towards the exit and hit the back of the neck perfectly, killing the one running away. Others froze, seeing the outcome of fleeing.

"Please, senior! Have mercy!"

[Language Analysis Initiated]

"Please, senior! Have mercy!" T-800 mimicked, creating more terror in the two left, making their pants wet and soiled. They understood that the reason can't be used here. This is fight or flight, and only one of them can survive.

Both stood and ran in the opposite direction, but T-800 is not just any random killer, it's a machine designed and perfected to kill. Its entire purpose is to kill. It has mastery over killing. So the T-800 did what the other two forgot.

There is only one exit. Even if they run in the opposite direction, they will have to go through one path to the exit. T-800 matched the speed of the person closer to the exit and grabbed him by the neck while blocking the path for the other.

"Help Wang Yu! Strike him!" screamed the one whose neck was in a death grip.

"Help Wang Yu! Strike him!" Mimicked T-800 and squeezed his grip, popping the eyes of his target like squeezing the seeds out of a juicy fruit. Wang Yu's entire strength left his body seeing the gory ending of his gang brother.

T-800 didn't waste the opportunity and quickly reached closer to Wang Yu and grabbed him by his hair. A cornered mouse will fight when left with no option and so Wang Yu did as he slashed towards the neck with all his might, but it was all futile as the death grip grabbed his wrist and squeezed hard, crunching his bones.

Before Wang Yu could scream, his neck was in another death grip and no voice came out, but his eyes did. "Help Wang Yu! Help Wang Yu!" Practiced T-800 while Wang Yu left the world for good.

[Analysis]

[Multiple variables detected]

[Computing efficiency increased by 200 percent.

[Mechanical efficiency increased by 50 percent]

[Unknown helpful variables detected - diagnosing]

T-800 stood there as he entered ‌a diagnostic mode to check fresh changes within him. He had all the data on how much he can do and can't do. So suddenly, his new power and speed needed to be analyzed.

After an hour later and with multiple diagnoses, new reports were ready.

[New atomic level interference detected in the Power Core increasing the stability and output efficiency]

[New atomic level interference detected in the Data Processing Core increasing the stability and logical compute efficiency]

[New atomic level interference detected in the Skeleton structure increasing the durability and speed]

[New atomic level interference detected in the sensors increasing the range and accuracy]

[New atomic level interference detected in the nanobots maintaining the skin, increasing the efficiency in repair damage and durability.]

[New positive anomaly detected in nanobots assimilating the skin with the metallic skeleton, filling the hollow parts, enhancing the sensors of touch, temperature, body position and pain simulation]

T-800 looked around but this time less mechanically and walked towards the unconscious body of the leader for his clothes.
