Terminator: Infinity

1ST LAW OF RETURNS

It was the T-∞, with a red glow at every joint that could be considered vulnerable, even its angular eyes appeared to be a part of that same glow, and indeed they were. Looking like a being of pure red energy in a suit of sleek armor, one thing that seemed off was its left hand. Slightly larger and more claw-like than its right hand, which seemed normal.

"I assume you're the failsafe," Quin said, bracing for another attack as the T-∞ simply growled its response. "Don't talk much, do you?" he then asked.

The T-∞ growled once more before lunging forward with its left arm, backhanding Quin to the side against a mainframe. He felt something odd with its claw-like hand.

Quin's vision 'blinked' as composed himself, a little slower than normal, to run right back at the T-∞ and grab its right arm as it began to morph into a cannon. He managed to grab its left wrist and pushed the T-∞ back into several other mainframes, the cannon fired off several times. It wasn't a plasma blast, he noted, but some kind of repulser wave. Still, he held onto the right arm for dear life as the T-∞ regained its footing and pushed back.

Both went back and forth to slam each other into the opposing wall until the T-∞ pushed back and twisted its arms causing Quin to lose his grip.

As fast as he could get back to his feet, Quin was blown way back by a repulser wave, sending him all the way to where he entered, to the open area on the catwalk.

Quin couldn't see himself, but his onboard damage assessment told him he had been hit with not only a repulse wave but electricity that paralyzed him. He could tell that its effects were temporary as his right arm quickly began to regain some movement.

The T-∞, however rapidly closed in and used its left hand to swipe off Quin's right arm at the elbow.

It didn't hurt, Quin couldn't react but he thought 'Oh shit, there goes my right arm!'. The other thought was that this Terminator had been using some kind of paralyzing weapon the whole time. The effects wore off in seconds, but it was enough for a machine in a fight.

The T-∞ morphed its cannon back to the form of a hand and began to grab Quin to lift him.

That's when Quin began to regain much of his motor function and saw a blade slash at the T-∞'s right hand, causing it to let go. He quickly saw it was another Terminator, his updated database recognized it as a T-1000.

The T-∞ instantly changed its focus to the new intruder and growled as it lunged and swiped at the T-1000.

For a time both machines swiped back and forth at each other. At one point, the T-∞ fired its repulser cannon at the T-1000, knocking it down and paralyzing it like Quin

The T-1000's arms, which were chopped off as blades, couldn't quickly reintegrate. The separated parts could only fall to the ground until the paralyzing effects wore off.

The T-∞ stood over the T-1000 and aimed its cannon, charging it up to fire it point-blank.

At the last second, Quin rammed himself into the T-∞ from behind, causing it to miss. He grabbed onto it with his one good arm and did his best to grapple with it.

The T-1000 quickly collected itself and got up to help Quin push back. With their combined strength, they shoved the T-∞ over the railing and into the beach ball-sized sphere of energy beyond.

The T-∞ was ripped to pieces as it made contact with the sphere of energy, bringing it to a swift end.

Quin stood next to the T-1000 as they looked on. He examined his right arm before looking at the T-1000 to quip. "You look like you've seen better days."
