Skyrim: Jon the Vigilant

The most recent attempt at a good Terminator/Skyrim crossover by Jaketheripper

chapter 1

it was a wintry night in skyrim, a blizzard had popped out of nowhere and had surrounded the Hall of the Vigilant near Dawnstar. Knowing a winter ward when she saw one, keeper Carcette stood in front of the hall, watching the wall of swirling ice with a steely glare.

"Keeper Carcette! Keeper Carcette!" out of the hall rushed a woman with raven hair pulled up in a ponytail, wearing a black eye patch. She wore a brown leather armored long coat over padded cloth garment, her boots and gloves were padded leather, this was the garb of a Vigilant inquisitor, a higher ranking vigilant from the Imperial city. Carcette turned to her with a look of disdain on her face, for she despised looking away from the enemy even for a second,"What is it, Inquisitor Sofia?"

"A Lich, we're being beset by a Lich, that's why there's a Winter Ward...we won't be able to leave until it attacks!"

Carcette pulled the extra mace from her belt and twirled them a bit before bracing herself, "Bring the rest of the Vigil out here, we'll face the fiend down with all our might!"

The Fell Lich floated behind the ice wall, watching with anticipation as the full might of the Vigil revealed itself, it was naught compared to him, he knew this and it made him all the more hungry for their souls, "Soon...very soon." he was about to drop the ward when suddenly and without warning, something began to manifest itself off to his left.

"Who is this?" he turned to look as a metallic orb manifested itself inside of a tree, this caused the tree to fall over as the orb dissolved, out of the orb, to the Lich's amazement stood a man, a 6 foot tall Naked man with a steely glare affixed on his face. The two immediately met eyes and on reflex, The Lich shot an ice spike at the man, the High pressure ice formation penetrated the man's face, causing some blunt force damage that made the man stagger! In the Lich's opinion he should be dead, but was astonished to see that there was naught done, and the man began to sprint at him through the snow at breakneck speed, "WHAT ARE YOU!?"

In a move of desperation, the Lich raised his staff of storms and a bolt of Lightning rocketed forth, connecting where the Ice spike had, with the man's head! This sent the large man off his feet and rolling through the snow. Satisfied that his target was dead, The Lich turned back to his ward only to have his robe seized! The Naked man tugged him to the ground, his eyes glowing bright red as The Lich looked on in curiosity as he lay on his back, watching the man straddle him as if detached from the situation completely out of sheer confusion, 'You're not human..." The Naked man raised his clenched fist, "Correct." and punched once through the Lich's skull!

all at once, The ward went down and the electric surge from the magic lightning finally took it's toll on The Terminator's brain, wiping all mission data from it's CPU as well as any reference data to it's target or original purpose, this triggered an emergency shutdown, which meant now the Terminator was kneeling atop the Lich's body as it dissolved into ash.

Carcette, Sofia and the entirety of the Vigil beheld their savior, kneeling and appearing unconscious atop the Lich's still dissolving corpse.

Carcette sheathed her weapon and pointed, "Sofia, go check that out, ask him who he is."

she walked over, her long sword still clutched in both hands, "Um...Hello?"

she gasped as she saw he was unconscious, "Keeper we need healers! he's unconscious!"

the Healers moved in to attempt to move him however he was so heavy that it took many men to move him into the Hall where they laid him by the fire in the lower room.

several Hours later, the Terminator came to, his systems coming back online, unable to connect with sky net, unable to read the corrupt mission data and unable to even remember what sky net was.

"Ah, I see our savior is awake finally." Sofia walked in with a bowl of horker stew and a loaf of bread, The Terminator's head snapped towards her with lightning speed, "Data corrupt, input directive." he spoke in a deep Norse sounding voice.

"Directive?"

"Input directive."

Sofia looked about and then at the tray, "Alright...eat."

The Terminator seized the tray and tipped the bowl up into his mouth, swallowing the food that it could not taste, being that with a biological outer shell, he was perfectly capable of eating and digesting nutrients, though it was not needed,

once the stew was finished the Terminator looked up again, "Input directive."

Sofia sat down, "wow Naked inside and outside, What, you mean like a long term directive? a Calling of sorts?"

The Terminator nodded, "Affirmative."

Sofia put her fist under her chin, "Hrm...well, The Vigil of Stendarr is dedicated to the eradication of all Daedra, their worshipers and Minions."

The Terminator tilted his head, "Daedra?"

Sofia giggles, "Do you not know? did the Lich do something to your head?"

The Terminator nodded, "No Designation, No directive, no database."

Sofia blinked, "I assume you mean that you don't know or remember anything? not even your name?"

The Terminator nodded again, "Affirmative."

Sofia looked him over, "You look like a nord...so how about we call you...Jon?"

"Designation rewritten...Jon."

Sofia smiled, "YES! Now we have to get you some books...do you know how to read?"

Jon nods, "Affirmative."

with that Sofia got up, "When I get back we can discuss a more long term...directive."

Jon perked up, "Eliminate Daedra and all affiliates."

Sofia raised her eyebrows as she was already on the stairs, "I'll talk to the keeper, we'll see about it, stay there for now."

with this Sofia ascended the stairs to see Keeper Carcette standing there at the shrine, "I'm petitioning Stendarr for knowledge of this naked man with bones of steel..."

Sofia sits down, "Well Keeper, he wants to join the cause, he said he needs a directive...and he did kill a Lich."

Carcette looks back at her from the altar, "And what else did he tell you?"

She put a finger to her chin as she thought, "That he doesn't remember anything at all...not even his own name, so I gave him a Nord Name, Jon!"

Carcette looked back down the stairs to see the man sitting in his bed scanning the area, "How can we be sure it is not a Daedra?"

Sofia sighed, "Keeper he knows NOTHING, even if he is, he cannot harm us...I was about to go get him some books so he can learn."

Carcette looks at the shrine of Stendarr once more, then back at Sofia, "If we can harness him as some sort of weapon...The Skyrim Vigil could become unstoppable! yes! get him all the books he wants! we will begin his training! but be careful...if he starts to become violent towards us..."

Sofia nods, "We'll be ready!"
