Despite his dawning wariness, Mikael, when seeing the T-1000 quickly reforming he aimed his Barret upwards, specifically at a line of cables holding a mass of steel beams.
Bang!
Woosh
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The T-1000 raised its silver forming head and on seeing the dropping steel beams it showed a human like expression of fear. But it could do nothing else as the steel masses impacted it once again, crashing it under their mass weight. The beams struck deep, buried completely into the earth like steel pillars of death.
"Prepare for the second volley." Mikael said to the walkie talkie alerting the different units. This was only the first of his kill zones, its intentions were not to destroy the T-1000, he was aware it was impossible by just using guns. Mikael intended to first weaken the T-1000. From all the information he heard, he knew first if the T-1000 abused its shapeshifting and mimic ability it would start to experience glitches within its form. He also knew the more it morphed from its base the more energy it would expand. This was a reason Mikael believed that the T-1000, despite being a truly amazing Terminator, models such as the T-800 were superior in certain areas as well.
Click click click
The guns were quickly armed magazine already replaced. All of them waited for the T-1000 to appear under the pile. They were already informed of what type of monster they were dealing with.
Woosh
Boom
A red light suddenly started coming from the pile of steel beams, it started of dim and started to increase in brightness significantly. There was a sudden explosion from the steel piles, the rods thrown violently or destroyed upon the eruption of the explosion.
They were forced to duck and dodge to avoid the airborne pile of death being shot in every direction, steel beams crashing into the ground next to them inches away, an inch that would have meant instant death. Mikael easily dodged but his eyes were still focused on the dust cloud that had erupted from the attack. What was that even? He was greatly confused and warry. How was the T-1000 doing things that it wasn't supposed to be able to? None of this made sense!
"We are all alive sir, only unit 1 and 4 have slight injuries." The voice from the walkie talkie said but Mikael ignored it. He could see the red light once again start to build up within the dust cloud, tinging it the color of blood.
"All off you retreat for the moment. I'll handle it here for now." He said quickly and his sense of danger instantly spiked.
Shwooooosshhhhh.
A red mass of spherical energy with purple like lightning inside it instantly pierced the dust cloud. The red mass was fast, and the idea of it hitting him sent a cold shiver down his head.
[Water stream Technique: Micro tremor step]!
Mikael quickly dodged to the side leaving an after image in his previous position. This after image was quickly wiped away by the attack shaving into it and dragging past him. Despite this, he still felt the cold danger of death as his eyes tracked the red mass slamming into one of the many unfinished buildings.
BOOMMMM!
The red mass erupted, immediately it encountered the building. It was like it was made out of sand as it started to crumble downwards. Floors broke apart, steel beams reduced to nothing and where the red mass had touched directly it was like nothing had existed.
"You're just full of surprises." Mikael took a deep breath the coldness he felt earlier returning fully. Was the thing he was fighting still a T-1000? When had Skynet started producing ones that had energy attacks!?
His eyes returned to the T-1000, and he saw how its arm morphed from a blaster like objected with the front part looking as if it was about to melt to overheating back to a normal silver human hand. He also noticed how this transformation process looked to had failed partially. The arm blaster before it could turn to the human hand had turned to a formless sludge which lasted for a second and went back to normal.
[Augment: Perfect Hardening + Overclock]
The thin layer of hardening on his body grew thicker firmer. The once transparent layer turned a solid white color giving an image as if he were a living statue. His impressive physique only became even more impressive, the Hardening showcasing his toned muscles like perfectly curved marble. His perception also increased, the world slowing down within his eyes. From the fluttering dust cloud that was slowly calming down to the still crumbling pieces of the building the red mass had hit. All of it came within his vision in a slowed state. It was equally the same for the T-1000 attack.
[Skill: Sacral spikes]
Thud Thud Thud
From the T-1000 leg a silver puddle had extended. From that puddle sharp spike profusions started to rise and rush towards him multiple of them wanting to skewer through him and turn him into a rag doll
Within his vision, while the attack was still fast Mikael still had enough time to counter it. He timed just before the spikes were about to pierce him and jumped upwards. Just enough for him to dodge the spikes. He landed on one of the large ones and before the spike could once again deform Mikael become and after image once again already disappeared. On his original location on the spike, another spike had extended outwards but had missed him just as he had passed.
[Water stream Technique: Micro tremor step]
[Skill: Blade]
He arrived instantly within the T-1000 range his claymore in his arm in a motion to attack. But even with his enhanced perception and speed, he could see the T-1000 eyes still follow his movement. Its arm transformed instantly morphing instantly into a long silver blade which it also swung at the approaching sword.
Swishhhh.
The expected sound of metal against metal did not occur. The moment the two strikes had clashed his own claymore had been completely cleaved apart. Such a perfect cut that no sound had been made.
The silver arm of the T-1000 then continued forward accelerating in an instant towards his neck. The T-1000 had a look of extreme satisfaction and cruelty after it had cut through his sword. Despite it being a machine, Mikael sensed an odd sort of glee at his plea. The silver arm slashed down and collided with his hardness.
Thud
But to the shock of the T-1000 the blade did not cut through. It only dug in slightly into the hardness the rest of the force causing cracks to appear. Mikael saw the shocked expression of the T-1000 the humane features oddly creeping him out.
[Water stream technique: Crashing stream impact]!
His fists became multiple after images striking constantly at the T-1000, a strike to the head, a strike to the stomach a strike to the neck. His attacks caused the areas he hit to deform into silver patches but did little else. His hardened arms even experienced a slight pain on hitting the T-1000. The T-1000 itself quickly reformed its silver patched areas returning to normal.
[Skill: spectral spike]
Multiple spikes shoot out from everywhere on its silver body in an omnidirectional attack. The spikes were fast almost piercing his body but Mikael managed to moved backwards before the strikes could land, barely missing them. While hardening did cover his body, his eyes were still a major fatal point.
[Skill: Blade+ molecular phase shift]
The T-1000's lower legs changed to a strange sort of silver sludge. Its speed then became boosted as it slided forward this time its silver blade transformed arm waved in a wide arc once again at his head. Mikael drops to the ground the blade barely cutting through the edges of his hair. The T-1000 without any wasted momentum easily shifts its body the momentum of its original attack turning into a downward slash. Mikael had moved even earlier than the T-1000, just before its force could be fully exerted downwards, his hands had lunged forward and clasped the blade.
Crack.
The ground cracked, as well as the hardening within his arm. But the Terminator remained uncaring. The blade he had held quickly deformed, escaping his hand. Mikael took a quick step to dodge backwards. With his empathy ability he noticed how the T-1000 was growing increasingly annoyed. He also noticed how the T-1000 had stopped morphing into the human appearance as it had done. It now remained with a silver human figure.
[Skill: Double Blade]
While he was still dodging backwards, the T-1000's arms transformed into long silver blades. It suddenly charged forward with extreme speed with both silver blade arms in a direct piercing attack. He enhanced dynamic vision allowed him to see where the attack would pierce if it was allowed to land.
[Water stream technique: Micro tremor step]
Mikael dodged using his superior foot technique to move himself slightly away before the attack could land.
Scletch.
The T-1000 blades pierced into the ground, the T-1000 becoming temporarily trapped. Mikael quickly took the opportunity given to him and using his extreme flexibility he does a move that twists his body and sweeps his leg towards the Terminator.
Thud.
His legs strike against the Terminators' own and in an act that looked to surprise the T-1000 it's leg is smashed through instantly destabilizing it. But the T-1000 recovers quickly despite it starting to fall to the ground. Its silver blade arms morph dislodging himself from the ground and in an instant the blades had turned into large silver arms. The T-1000 slams the silver arms where he originally was once again forcing him backwards.
BOOMMM.
While Mikael retreats the T-1000 takes the opportunity to rejoin its missing piece. Its body turns into a pile of smudge after which it instantly reforms back into its original silver body.
[Skill: Molecular Phase Shift]
The T-1000 Lower body transforms again back into sludge. This sludge causes its speed to increase as it slides towards him quickly almost appearing instantly. Its legs transform back in an instant but instead of the normal legs they are now large and with silver edged spikes. The T-1000 takes the opportunity its speed had given to strike its leg at him.
THUDDD!
The leg strikes at him and lands against his raised arm. Mikael was pushed by the attack, his legs dragging against the dirt ground
The silver spike had managed to strike through the hardening on his arm, finally drawing blood from him. The T-1000 as if it had received a strike of inspiration changed its tactic once again.
[Skill: Molecular Phase Shift + Wrath Hammer]
Its arms morphed into large silver mallets. The silver end of the silver mallets changed further, its flat surface growing with extended sharp silver spikes.
The T-1000 slided forward once again using that skill that amplified its speed.
It arrived instantly at his location, its mallet arm slamming downwards towards his still injured arms
Booommm!
The mallet had struck but not at Mikael himself but at Death bears Femur bone. The ground again cracked the force of the attack traveling through his body. The femur bone was surprisingly in good condition despite the attack. But Mikael was able to see how its quality had decreased from just that one attack.
Booooom!
The T-1000 raised its mallet arm again and slammed down on the femur bone further causing even more damage to the femur.
"Shit." Mikael took out his pistol and aimed at the T-1000
Bang Bang Bang Bang
He unloaded the pistol at the T-1000, the infinite magazine impacting the silver body and causing splutter like craters appearing on the T-1000's silver body. While doing little to no damage, the impact was enough to slightly stun the T-1000 and stumble it backwards about three steps. These impacts had forced the T-1000 to stop its own mallet slams as it entered a sort of stunned state. It was something he had noticed, while most of his attacks did little to no damage to the T-1000, the attacks themselves somehow caused the T-1000 to be stunned once they reached a certain threshold of damage. The greater the damage the greater the amount of time it would be stunned. For instance, the pistol shots barely lasted two seconds.
"We are in position agent White." His walkie talkie alerted him.
Mikael had turned to run immediately. Ignoring the T-1000 stunned form. He had only covered a short distance before he heard the approaching T-1000 behind him, its mallet arm extending forward trying to smash down on his body but failing.
Boom Boom
The two moved along a pile of destruction and craters left behind in their wake. Mikael lead the Terminator towards another building which was also still in construction it was just then that he noticed an odd spike in the building up of the color red from behind him.
The T-1000 had stopped following and instead it stood with a mocking gaze, its smile scornful. It was truly surprising how much emotion this machine lifeform was showing. Its arm had morphed once again, into something he could only say was an energy blaster. On the tip of this weapon a sphere of the same destructive mass was quickly accumulating, growing larger and gaining mass!
[Water Stream Technique: Micro tremor step]!
"Shit." Mikael was immediately annoyed. What he could not do was allow the building to be destroyed. It would completely interfere with the next process of events. He turned immediately, appearing within striking range of the T-1000 before the red mass could be fully formed.
[Water stream technique: Crashing stream Impact]!!
[Skill Activated: Cyber Rift]!!
His arm coiled pulled back with the strength of his core and shot forward with the speed of a bullet. Purple like energy was accumulated within his clenched fist as it speeded forward. Within this fist was both his power and the power of a crushing shockwave!
BOOOMMM!
The fist slammed into the blaster before the red mass could even full form, it was instantly crashed reduced to nothing. The blaster was destroyed scattered into silver pieces, but the fist continued forward until it impacted the chest of the T-1000! For the first time, other than the normal siler dents that would appear, the T-1000's chest on impacting the Fist exploded outwards. The chest of the T-1000 became non-existent, not destroyed but scattered by the sheer force of the attack. The T-1000 stood, a mild shock on its face but Mikael was quick to notice something. He looked downwards and noticed a pool of the T-1000 liquid had flown up to him and trapped his legs.
In that same instance, his attention was attracted to the area within the T-1000 chest. The now empty chest which he could see through. What had caught his attention was that within the mass of flowing silver machine there was something else there. A sort of spherical like object which was soon covered by the Mimetic liquid of the T-1000.
Suddenly, the T-1000 once again did something that surprised him. Electric arcs sparked from its body with a savage fury. These arcs were conducted from the silvery pool that had trapped him and despite the enhanced hardness that was on his body, Mikael found himself being affected.
The T-1000 took longer than expected to reform, but somehow it was still generating this electricity an action it was already not supposed to be able to do.
It soon reformed but Mikael could see how it was struggling to walk forward, its leg somehow bonding to the ground every step taken looking somehow living a silver mass of its foot behind, but it still walked forward a blade forming within its hand.
