A/N= I am currently looking for a proof reader/beta reader.
They had no chance. More specifically the group of CF-Alliance vehicles dispatched to put down a human rebel cell. What was different about this battle group? It was piloted by SCU's. SCU #100-264 or a "Tianhe" Mk.I was running diagnostics on his cruiser's SMGs. He felt no emotion, for he was a machine made of cold metal. He was not programmed to show mercy, he was programmed to fight, and kill. No prisoners would be taken. No lives will be spared. No mercy will be shown.
He had just finished his diagnostics check, when 4 large blips appeared on his screen. The rebels have been spotted. Engage when In range, Target types: SMG Megabot, Plasma Megabot, Nano Copter, Rail walker. Information quickly flowed into his mechanical brain. He procecced in and sent orders to the other 6 bots in his group.

A narrow valley surrounded by cliffs loomed ahead. The Tianhe ordered his bots to form in a V formation. The sensor array on his cruiser detected a narrow bridge ahead. They would have to travel in a single file line. The bridge was about 400 meters long. The radar blips appeared just ahead. When they were midway, the enemy contacts came into view. They were decoys! 4 large crates with transmitters came into view. SCU 100-264 ordered his bots to prepare for a ambush, but it was too late.
A large slender, unmistakable Mega-Plasma shot appeared. 11 more followed. His bots, hindered by the narrow bridge were granted a merciless beating. A large "Mega" class bot appeared on the cliff. SCU 100-264 was about to order his bots to retreat, when something hit his bot. There was a large flash of light, and SCU-100-264's world went dark.

SCU-100-264 came online, his remaining eye flickered on, giving out a soft blue glow. From his position on the ground, he saw the remains of his battle group. Destroyed parts lay all around him. Half atomized armor cubes blanketed the ground. He heard voices. Maybe it was the target? He tried to turn his head so he could see the source of the voices, but the motors in his head were destroyed. The voices got louder. SCU-100-264 activated his speech recognition software. A voice spoke, "Hey, I found something!"
A different voice spoke back, "Is it another SMG power core? We could sure use some of them."
"No, I think its something else." SCU 100-264 felt something lift off of his back.
The first voice spoke again, "Hey, I think its one of those "SCUs" that they replaced us with. I think its still online."
The SCU was lifted up, and was placed face up. A young human female was standing over him. "Hey, its still online!" Another person came into view, it was a human male. He spoke "Turn that thing off, it could still be transmitting its location!"
"Hey, when we get back to our base, I think we should download all of its memories, maybe it can provide more insight on the sudden termination of human CF-Alliance Units." The female replied.
"Gosh, just turn it off."
The female picked up a EMP stun stick from her belt. She paused for a moment, examining the damaged SCU. She took one more look, then she plunged the stick into the SCU's torso.
For the second time, SCU 100-264's world went dark.
