Mr. Lee was surrounded on all sides by T-1000s that all appeared as police officers. Lee whirled his sword and readied himself for a fight as the T-1000's approached. One of the T-1000s took out a police pistol from his holster. Another took out an MP5 from his chest; his liquid metal chest swirled and then filled the hole where the gun was taken. Another T-1000 revealed a shotgun from his arm. The liquid metal flowed around the shotgun and then morphed back into an arm still holding the shotgun. Another likewise took out a pistol from his holster and pointed at Lee.
Cameron meanwhile met up with John; the two took cover from the fight. "What happened to you?" John asked concerned; Cameron was bruised and bleeding at the lip.
"I will be fine," Cameron answered.
"What's happening?" John asked.
"The T-1000 named Giff has learned to replicate himself," Cameron reported.
"How?" John asked stunned.
"I do not know. There has never been a record of this ability being used. The individual machines in T-1000 must be capable of replication. It was known that they could regenerate damage T-1000s but not in the creation of entire new ones," Cameron said.
"What do we do?" John asked uncertain.
"We must go," Cameron advised.
Lee looked around as the T-1000s took aim. There was a sudden flash of light as pistol, shotgun, and machine gun rounds all hit Lee at once. The explosion of gunfire could be heard by Cameron and John in the distance.
The T-1000s fired rapidly until they were out of ammunition. Pistol cartridges and shotgun shells fell on the cemetery grounds. Lee gave off an intense light as the force field absorbed the gunfire. The T-1000s stopped firing once they had ran out of ammunition.
Lee's force field glowed for a few seconds; segments of his mechanical body could be seen through the camouflage for a brief moment. The T-1000s eyed Lee as they assessed the damage.
Lee remained completely untouched; even his sword was still intact. The T-1000s dropped their weapons on the ground; they would be useless in this kind of fight. Lee quickly stepped forward and sliced a T-1000 in half with his sword through the chest.
Giff (2) formed a blade with his forearm and blocked Lee's sword as Lee went to the next T-1000. Lee and Giff (2) clashed several times as they blocked with their blades. Giff (3) and Giff (4) ran up to Lee's backside and attempted to ram their blades into his back. The force field prevented their blades from hitting the mechanical metal underneath. Giff (3) and Giff (4) clashed with Lee's backside several times creating sparks off him.
Lee swirled around and sliced off Giff (3)'s head and then dueled with Giff (4) with his sword. Giff (1) rose from the ground; the wound he had suffered had disappeared. Lee expertly cut into Giff's metal flesh and sliced through his body several times. Giff (5) violently rammed his shoulder into Lee knocking him to the ground.
As Giff (5) took hold of Lee's right foot, Giff (4) healed from his wounds. Giff (5) picked Lee off the ground and spun him around and after a few swings released Lee. The Asian cyborg crashed into a tombstone and obliterated it before exploding a tree. The force field protecting Lee caused the tree to burn around him.
Giff (3)'s head liquefied and traveled to Giff (3)'s foot. Giff (3)'s body shifted slightly and then his head took form as before. Lee got back to his feet and considered the five. Giff (1) and Giff (2) quickly rushed Lee and took hold of Lee's arms. Giff (3) approached Lee and wrapped his arms around Lee's waist keeping Lee still. Giff (4) and Giff (5) rushed Lee in a second wave and leaped up with their bladed arms. Giff (4) and Giff (5) slashed down on either side of Lee's neck with both bladed arms.
Lee simply stared at Giff (4) and (5), the force field sparked against their blades. Lee went into a sudden and rapid spin; his force field threw the five T-1000s off of him. Lee's right hand revealed itself as a mechanical arm similar in design to the TX. Lee pointed at Giff (1) and fired a plasma burst through his gut. The plasma blast went through Giff's chest and exploded a tombstone behind him.
Giff (1)'s chest slowly healed and returned to normal; Lee turned around and fired at the ground tossing Giff (2) and (3) into the air and away from him. Giff (4) and (5) sliced at Giff with their bladed arms. Giff used his sword to block their attacks, but Giff (4) gave Lee a hard kick knocking him unbalanced. Giff (5) turned his right blade into a hammer and slammed Lee to the face knocking him to the ground.
Lee flipped up and kicked the two T-1000s away. Giff (2) rushed Lee just as Lee activated his left hand weapon. Lee fired an electrical channel into Giff (2) causing Giff (2) to shake and morph uncontrollably. Giff (3) took hold of Giff (2) as electrical energy surged through him. Giff (3) conducted the electricity and pointed at Lee. The electrical energy went through the two T-1000s and blasted Lee with his own attack.
Lee backed off his attack and took a step back as his force field adapted to the energy. Giff (1) confronted with Lee; his right and left arm began to morph. Blades erupted from his arms; his finger became claws. Giff (1)'s arms became filled with blades of various sizes, the smaller ones near his wrist and the larger ones near his shoulder. Lee calmly whirled his sword as Giff (1) approached.
The two clashed with their blades; Lee's force field blasted the grass underneath his feet as he was pushed through the cemetery. A tombstone suddenly exploded as Lee came close to it. Giff (1) continued to advance on Lee forcing him into a tomb. Giff (1) kicked Lee into the tomb where several caskets were held.
Giff (1) and Lee slammed each other across the walls of the tomb causing the stone to shatter on impact. Lee suddenly slashed through Giff (1) with his sword. Giff (1)'s body flowed around the sword and then punched Lee.
The other T-1000s waited patiently as the two battled inside the tomb. There was a sudden explosion as Giff (1) was thrown out a stain glass window. Giff (1) skidded across the grass and got back to his feet. Sirens could be heard in the distance.
Lee heard the sirens and then considered the T-1000s. The T-1000s suddenly morphed into other people's appearances to hide the fact that they were all the same. Lee activated his cloaking ability and disappeared from view. The T-1000s observed as a faint disturbance in the air ran across the cemetery. The battle finished, the T-1000s went their separate ways.
Cameron and John ran towards the street away from the cemetery. Sarah in a car pulled up. "Get in," she ordered.
Cameron and John willingly complied and drove off away from the scene. "Care to explain?" Sarah asked annoyed.
"There are more players now. AsiaNet has sent one of their agents to terminate John," Cameron said.
"Anything else?" Sarah asked.
"The T-1000 named Giff has learned to replicate himself. There are now at least five copies," Cameron said.
"Could it get any worse?" Sarah wondered.
"Yes," Cameron said not comprehending Sarah's expression.
"Where's Derek?" John asked.
"He's at the dump burying the Terminator," Sarah answered.
Cameron took out the chip of the Terminator. "Can you read that thing?" John asked.
Cameron considered the chip. "Yes, I will be able to read his memories, command logs, and daily activities," Cameron said.
James and Kester got out of their cars and observed the scene at the Alan's Mechanic Shop. A forensics team was already at the scene collecting blood samples and bullet casings. James walked up to a witness in LAPD custody.
"My name is Agent Ellison and still is my partner Agent Kester from the FBI," James introduced.
Alan simply stared at James; his body still twitching from the incident. "What happened here?' James asked.
Kester's eyes stared at Alan as he memorized his appearance. "A big guy dressed in black; like one of those Hell's Angels came to the shop. He had an automatic and began shooting into the garage," Alan said.
"Let me guess. About six feet tall, white, brown hair in a military style haircut," James asked.
Alan simply nodded. Kester eyed James wondering what he knew. "Did you see a young girl or boy?" Kester asked.
"Yeah, they arrived shortly after the shooting. The guy seemed to be firing on them too," Alan reported.
"Where did they go?" Kester pressed.
"I didn't see," Alan admitted.
"May I see a list of your employees scheduled for today," James requested.
Alan nodded and then went into his window shattered office. He took out a registrar of his employees for that day. James looked over the names; one was named Derek but his last name was Reese.
"Thank you for your time," James said giving the clip board back to Alan.
James was beside himself; they were here. James' cell phone suddenly rang. James picked it up. "The cemetery?" James questioned.
"We'll be there soon," James said and then put the cell phone down.
"We're going to the cemetery down the street. There was another gun fight," James said to Kester.
The two FBI agents drove up to the cemetery and walked through the gates into the field. Some LAPD officers were already on the scene. James saw some of the tombstones shattered. Frowning, James went up to the LAPD officer on the scene.
"What happened here?' James asked.
"We're not sure, but we found a lot of bullet casings in one spot," the LAPD officer said.
The LAPD officer led them to a spot where the bullet cases were collected. "As I see it, there were five guys with five different guns. They circled whatever got shot and they all fired at once in a downward position," the LAPD officer theorized.
James could see a circular burn mark. "This doesn't look like a gun shot burn," James said.
"Well, if they all shot at shoulder height the bullets would pass through the body and hit everyone," the LAPD officer said.
"We did find some bullets in the trees and tombstones at shoulder height," the LAPD officer reported.
"Unless, the one being shot at blocked the bullets," Kester said.
"Not possible, no one could survive this much damage. Interestingly there is no sign of blood," the LAPD officer said.
"How were the tombstones destroyed?" James asked.
"Can't explain that either," the LAPD officer admitted.
"What do you think?' James asked Kester.
Kester considered the scene. There were five gunmen. They all fired at once on a sixth individual in this circle," Kester said.
"How could someone survive that? Not even my bullet proof vest could take that much punishment. And there is no blood," James questioned.
"That, Agent James, is a mystery even for me," Kester replied.
"Why were you at Alan's Mechanics?" Sarah demanded of John and to a lesser extent Cameron.
"We saw the shooting on the news," John explained.
"So?" Sarah questioned.
"Derek was there, we had to save him," John argued.
"Derek can take care of himself. You shouldn't have gone out," Sarah said angrily.
Derek simply stared thoughtfully; it wasn't quite sure that was an accurate statement. "You're too important to risk your life like that. You could have been killed," Sarah continued.
John was about to explode and tell his mother everything Cameron had told him. Cameron stared at John wondering what he would do. "Okay mom, you were right. I won't do it again," John said finally.
"Good," Sarah said still irritable.
