Nemesis T-Type
Backstory:
The Nemesis-T Type (also known as the "Pursuer") was an experimental form of intelligent Tyrant created by the Umbrella Europe Sixth Laboratory in France under the direct administration of Umbrella Headquarters. Its purpose was to prove that a T-Virus infected creature could retain most of its intelligence and follow specific orders. It was named after Nemesis, the Ancient Greek goddess of divine vengeance. Deployed during the last days of September 1998 in Raccoon City with orders to eliminate the remaining members of S.T.A.R.S., he proved to be one of the most formidable B.O.W.s Jill Valentine ever faced.
Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics,
Can Infect people with the T-Virus,
Regeneration (Low-Mid, The ability to regenerate lost limbs, limited brain damage, and even severe organ damage or destruction, including traditionally fatal wounds and disembowelment or horizontal bisection. For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating minor parts and more extensive internal damage.),
Can use weapons like Flamethrowers and Rocket Launchers,
Can grow tentacles
Weaknesses: While challenging to kill, taking enough damage will incapacitate him for a while.
Song: Terminator Stars
Sarah Connor sprinted down the dimly lit alleyway, her footsteps echoing through the narrow passage as she desperately sought to elude her pursuer. Behind her, the ominous figure of the T-800 Terminator relentlessly chased after her, its metal skeleton concealed beneath a lifelike layer of synthetic flesh. The terminator's expressionless gaze was fixed intently on its target, eyes hidden behind dark, enigmatic shades as it pursued Sarah with unwavering determination.
Sarah, in a frenzied state, managed to escape the alleyway but stumbled and fell to her knees, her hands scraping against the rough tarmac. As she looked up, the scene before her left her gasping in shock and confusion. The street that lay ahead was in a state of utter disarray and horror, overrun by hordes of mindless zombies, each one hungrily seeking its next victim.
"What the hell?!"
She exclaimed, her voice filled with a mixture of horror and disbelief as she stared at the chaos that now surrounded her. In the midst of her horror, Sarah's imminent doom seemed imminent as a few zombies closed in, their ravenous hunger about to consume her. However, a series of rapid gunshots rang out from behind, eliminating the creatures in an instant. Sarah turned to see a S.T.A.R.S Alpha officer, Jill Valentine, standing there, panting and bearing signs of a hard-fought battle. With a kind gesture, Jill extended a helping hand towards Sarah.
"Are you okay?"
Jill asked, genuine concern etched on her face. Sarah's eyes widened in surprised relief as the immediate threat disappeared, replaced by the presence of Jill, who had saved her from the ravenous zombies. She accepted the offered hand and managed to rise to her feet.
"I... yes, thank you. What is happening here? Zombies... and that Terminator..."
Sarah managed to croak out, her voice still tinged with fear and shock. As Sarah and Jill tried to make sense of the situation, their conversation was interrupted by a deafening crash that drew their attention down the street. The Nemesis, a large and horrifying zombie, forcefully pushed a truck out of its path. Its body was heavily covered in thick, rubbery material, save for its hands and head.
"S.T.A.R.S..."
It let out a deep, guttural growl and extended a tendril-like appendage from its wrist, its gaze fixated on Jill. Sarah's voice trembled with fear and confusion as she gazed upon the monstrous figure approaching them.
"What is that thing?! What the hell is going on?!"
She exclaimed, her voice filled with a mixture of terror and bewilderment. Jill, still panting heavily, clenched her gun firmly and spoke with determination.
"That's the Nemesis, a bio-organic weapon. Raccoon City is dealing with a viral outbreak, causing infected citizens to become mindless bloodthirsty zombies."
Jill was keenly aware of their surroundings, noticing the Terminator closing in on them, its pistol aimed at Sarah. She quickly shouted,
"Get down!"
She pushed Sarah to the ground, just as both the Terminator and Nemesis unleashed their attacks. The Nemesis swung its tendril at the Terminator, but the robot moved aside, avoiding the strike. Meanwhile, the Terminator fired its pistol at the Nemesis, the bullet impacting against the thick, rubbery material coating its body. The Nemesis, assuming the Terminator was allied with Jill due to its attack, grew even more hostile upon seeing the robot. It growled menacingly, its voice filled with anger as it advanced toward them.
"S.T.A.R.S..."
Jill seized the opportunity to make their escape, gesturing at Sarah to hurry.
"Come with me if you want to live!"
She urged, grabbing Sarah's arm and guiding her away from the two dueling opponents. Sarah, still disoriented and frightened, stumbled as she was pulled along by Jill, her eyes darting back towards the ongoing fight between the Terminator and the Nemesis as they made their escape.
As the Terminator took out its Hardballer Longslide laser sight, its metallic eye scanned and analyzed the Nemesis, its computer brain struggling to make sense of the creature's unique composition. The rubbery material covering its body proved to be thick and bullet-resistant, although the Terminator noted that the head might be more susceptible to damage. The Terminator, unflinching, approached the Nemesis, firing multiple rounds directly into the bio-organic weapon's head. However, the Terminator's bullets only caused minor, superficial damage.
Furious, the Nemesis retaliated with a powerful swing of its tendril, grabbing the Terminator and pulling it towards itself. With immense strength, the Nemesis slammed the robot to the ground, its blow forcefully driving the Terminator into the pavement. The Terminator's impact with the pavement sent a jolt through its metal frame, knocking off its shades and causing the synthetic skin covering its face to rip and tear. The injury released a small flow of artificial blood, adding an eerie touch to the scene. Despite the damage, the Terminator remained unfazed, its programming driving it to continue the battle.
The Nemesis, unfazed by the Terminator's unflinching demeanor, prepared to deliver another powerful punch, its enormous fist poised to strike. However, the Terminator, demonstrating its own immense strength, caught the incoming blow with its metal hand. Despite the size difference, the Terminator managed to halt the Nemesis' punch, its feet sliding across the ground as it held the Tyrant's fist at bay. The two opponents appeared evenly matched in terms of sheer force.
Sensing an opportunity, as the Nemesis unleashed a second punch, the Terminator swiftly ducked under the blow, using its smaller stature to its advantage. With calculated precision, the Terminator stepped on the Nemesis to hoist itself higher, bringing them face to face. Drawing back its metal fist, the Terminator unleashed a powerful punch that landed square on the Nemesis' face, staggering the bio-organic creature.
The Nemesis, still underestimating the Terminator's capabilities, gripped its metallic head as it pulled the android off itself, and attempted to crush it, only to find the task much more challenging than it had anticipated. Frustrated, the Nemesis repeated its usual refrain as it struggled to comprehend the nature of its opponent.
"S.T.A.R.S...?"
The Terminator, responding with a typical stoic demeanor, coolly replied,
"I'll give you stars."
It then drew out its Uzi submachine gun and unleashed a rapid barrage of bullets directly into the Nemesis' face. Though each individual shot only inflicted minor damage, the rapid-fire succession proved to be both maddening and debilitating for the bio-organic creature. The Nemesis, furious and aggravated, retaliated by hurling the Terminator through the window of a nearby store. Glass shattered as the Terminator crashed through multiple shelves, knocking over countless items along the way. Undeterred, the robot quickly rose from the wreckage, undamaged and focused on continuing the battle.
Equipped with its Armalite AR-18 assault rifle and Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun, the Terminator effortlessly dual-wielded both weapons, firing a barrage of powerful rounds at the Nemesis. The rubbery material covering the bio-organic zombie was torn apart by the bullets, but the Nemesis pressed on undaunted, not hindered by the accumulating damage.
The Nemesis, infuriated and determined, grabbed the Terminator with its tendril, effortlessly tossing away the discarded high-grade weapons. With a deafening roar, the bio-organic zombie began a thunderous charge and used its sheer force to ram into the Terminator, driving the robot through multiple brick and concrete walls with each impact.
With the Nemesis' grip only intensifying, the Terminator knew it had to act fast. Drawing its Hardballer pistol, the robot fired a succession of point-blank rounds directly at the underside of the Nemesis' chin. The internal damage inflicted on the bio-organic zombie caused it to stagger, causing the two foes to crash through the final wall and tumble onto another street. The Terminator's form reflected the toll its battle had taken. Pieces of synthetic flesh were beginning to peel, exposing the robot's metallic skeleton beneath. Its left side of the face was partially destroyed, revealing its glowing red eye and adding a menacing air to its appearance. The Terminator's clothes were also tattered and damaged, the fabric bearing the scars of the relentless fight. To cap it all off, the robot's vision intermittently went to static due to the damage sustained.
Assessing the Nemesis' resilient recovery, the Terminator knew it needed a new approach. It moved swiftly towards a nearby manhole cover, grabbed it with its metal frame, and hurled it with great force at the bio-organic creature. The heavy disc of metal struck the Nemesis in the head, dazing the creature and giving the Terminator a brief advantage.
With a calculated maneuver, the Terminator dropped into the sewer, its heightened awareness noting that the Nemesis was too large to follow through the narrow hole. Confident that it had eluded its pursuer, the robot re-focused on its primary objective: locating and neutralizing Sarah Connor.
After navigating through the dark labyrinth of the sewers for roughly three quarters of a mile, the Terminator did some basic self-maintenance, repairing the minor injuries it had sustained along its trek. Dealing with a few frog-like mutants that occasionally roamed the subterranean tunnels, the robot determined that it was time to emerge back onto the surface and continue its search.
As the Terminator ascended the ladder, preparing to emerge from the sewer, the Nemesis appeared in an unexpected move, gripping the robot by its head and forcefully yanking it out. The bio-organic creature then hurled the Terminator across the ground, its deep voice echoing through the air once more.
"S.T.A.R.S..."
Recovering swiftly after hitting the wall, the Terminator retreated into a nearby construction site, narrowly avoiding a plume of fire as the Nemesis had acquired a heavy-duty flamethrower during its absence. The robot quickly sought cover behind the unfinished structures, momentarily evading the relentless pursuit of the bio-organic creature.
The conflict had escalated, literally and figuratively, as the Terminator skillfully ascended various structures, utilizing its grenade launcher to hurl explosives at the Nemesis. The bio-organic beast, undeterred by the barrage of grenades, responded by setting fire to the construction site, attempting to burn through the synthetic materials of the Terminator. Despite its efforts, the Nemesis only managed to singe the robot's artificial skin and attire, the true metal structure beneath remaining unscathed.
After scaling the construction site and reaching the top floor, the Terminator found that it had exhausted its supply of grenades. Discarding the launcher, it then witnessed the Nemesis suddenly burst through the floor, creating a gap between them. The bio-organic brute unleashed a direct blast of fire upon the robot, enveloping it momentarily.
Ignited by the Nemesis' assault, the Terminator's artificial skin and clothes blackened from the intense flames, but the fire did not impede the robot's fighting capabilities. Quick as a flash, the Terminator aimed its pistol at the fuel tank strapped to the bio-organic creature's back and fired its final shot, causing it to explode in a powerful explosion.
The Nemesis screamed in pain as it was consumed by the explosion from the fuel tank, the force of the blast knocking the Terminator off the edge of the building. In a dramatic plunge, the robot plummeted, crashing onto an elevation platform and eventually slamming onto the hard pavement below with a resounding clang.
The Terminator needed a moment to regain its composure as it slowly rose to its feet, its movements hindered by the damage sustained. As the robot stood there, some of the burnt outer layers of synthetic flesh began to peels off, further revealing the metallic structure beneath.
The Terminator paused for a moment to gaze upward at the burning summit of the construction site, silently assuming that the relentless bio-organic creature had been vanquished, perhaps even reduced to ashes by the explosion. Ignoring the limp from its injuries, the robot recommenced its primary directive: find and eradicate Sarah Connor.
The Terminator continued its journey, limping down a few city blocks while efficiently eliminating any standard zombies in its path. However, an abrupt impact from behind unexpectedly sent the robot sprawling forward, landing face-first onto the ground.
The Terminator swiftly rose to its feet, turning to face the enemy once more. To its surprise, the Nemesis was standing there, though its own flesh and rubber suit had sustained some visible damage. Dropping a high-caliber box, the bio-organic creature quickly opened it, retrieving a powerful rocket launcher that extended past its muscular arm. Utilizing the laser sight, the Nemesis locked onto the Terminator, preparing to take a shot. The Nemesis, fixated on its target, bellowed out the familiar phrase,
"S.T.A.R.S..."
Unleashing the rocket launcher, it sent the Terminator careening backwards with a powerful explosion, flinging the robot into a nearby weapons store. Without hesitation, the bio-organic creature took aim and fired another rocket, detonating the building in a fiery explosion. With the explosion filling the area, the Nemesis presumed that the Terminator was destroyed, convinced that its relentless pursuing had finally come to an end. Satisfied, it turned away, moving on to its next objective: tracking down and confronting Jill Valentine.
The Nemesis reeled in pain as numerous bullets tore through its body, causing it to falter and nearly collapse onto one knee. Regaining some balance, it let out a guttural growl, turning to find the Terminator back on its feet and armed with a six-barrelled gatling machine, unleashing another barrage of bullets. The hail of bullets ripped through the bio-organic creature, a staggering hundred rounds per burst perforating its rotten flesh and muscle.
Realizing it needed time to recover and allow its innate healing factor to take effect, the Nemesis aimed its rocket launcher once more, the laser sight zeroing in on its target. The Terminator, quick-witted and agile, anticipated the attack and dropped the gatling gun, rolling out of the line of fire just in time. The rocket detonated where the robot had been standing, sending debris and shrapnel flying.
With its synthetic skin and clothing all but gone, leaving its metallic skeleton fully exposed, the Terminator continued its unfaltering pursuit. Its chest compartment suddenly opened up, revealing a highly advanced 40-watt phased plasma rifle, the sole futuristic weapon it had possessed throughout the entire encounter.
The Nemesis, about to unleash a formidable rocket attack, found itself caught off guard as the Terminator swiftly pivoted its phased plasma rifle toward the rocket launcher. In a calculated move, the robot fired a potent plasma blast, obliterating the rocket launcher and inflicting further damage on the already wounded bio-organic creature.
The Terminator, its analytical processors functioning to their full potential, scanned its adversary, seeking any weaknesses or vulnerabilities. Its sensors quickly located a peculiar, heart-shaped piece of metal protruding from the bio-organic creature's chest. Recognizing the importance of this discovery, the robot concluded that this seemingly fragile object was likely the key to terminating the Nemesis.
Despite the numerous injuries it had sustained, the Nemesis remained undeterred, extending a menacing tendril and yanking the Terminator closer with surprising strength. The bio-organic creature roared in the robot's face, exerting immense pressure on its ribs, attempting to crush the Terminator's metallic frame.
The Nemesis' crushing force suddenly halted as a distinct zap echoed through the air, drawing the creature's attention downward. To its surprise, the metallic heart exposed from its chest was no longer there; only a smoldering hole remained, the result of the Terminator's powerful plasma rifle shot. The Nemesis, now weakened by the loss of its metallic heart, fell onto its knees, its defenses severely weakened. Seizing this opportunity, the Terminator aimed its plasma rifle once more, this time targeting the underside of the bio-organic creature's chin. Drawing on its limited storage of dialogue, the robot spoke with a firm and final tone:
"Fuck you, asshole."
Without hesitation, the Terminator pulled the trigger, firing a precise plasma blast that obliterated the Nemesis' brain, toppling it over lifelessly onto its side. To ensure that the bio-organic creature would not rise again, the robot demonstrated its ruthless efficiency. Without mercy, the Terminator fired charge after charge into the defeated body, ensuring beyond all doubt that its target was dead.
With the relentless Nemesis finally neutralized, the Terminator proceeded on its path, its metallic frame bearing the scars of the fierce battle. The robot limped its way past the smoldering remains of the bio-organic creature, its determination unwavering in pursuing its original objective: Sarah Connor.
Strength: Arguably, one could say that the Nemesis is stronger, being able to punch through concrete walls in one punch, and having the muscle mass to ragdoll the Terminator, despite being 380 pounds. However, the Terminator is shown to be more proportionately stronger. It could hold a 10 ton bus from falling off a bridge, and prevent a hydraulic blast door from fully closing. Such doors tend to have a downward force of 3000 psi, and the actual doors can be as heavy as 20 tons. While the Nemesis may be able to overpower the Terminator based on its size, ultimately, it doesn't measure up.
Speed: The Nemesis may have the quads to jump across the street of a block length wise, but Terminators can run up to 46.6 mph briefly on foot, and could certainly use their smaller size to dodge bullets more consistently compared to the lumbering giant.
Skill: Terminators certainly have more experience, being programmed to be able to fight with the equivalent of an army. Nemesis, while still a threat as it's capable of some smart thinking, cannot match up with the computer's intelligence.
Experience: It's difficult to gauge who has more experience, aside from Terminators capable of living longer to have more combat experience. They may not be experienced with zombies, especially of the Nemesis's caliber, but they could quickly adapt.
Powers: Most of the Terminator's weaponry would not ultimately be able to put down the Nemesis, being almost impervious to bullets, fire and explosions. But unlike humans, the Terminator does not feel pain, so it can take the Nemesis' abuse and give back just as hard. And with its ability to scan for weaknesses, it can eventually target the parasite, and overwhelm it with its laser rifle, which it should have no problems doing.
The winner is the Terminator.
