Time Directive: Machine Dodger

A Story by Abishai100

Two cyborgs from a dark Earth-future time-travel back to 21st-Century Hollywood to deal with two possible outcomes (one good, one evil!).

A fanfiction of The Terminator for the 'day-after' Independence-Day. Thanks for reading (and enjoy!),

Two 'beings' from the future crossed over through a time-portal and landed in 21st-Century Hollywood (California) to fight each other.

21st-Century Earth/Hollywood was characterized by fantastic orientations and designs of socialized activities and the intrigue of democracy/capitalism and social-media (Facebook/FaceTime). This was a time serving as a premonition of the future-world from which these two time-travelers came, to create a stand.

The two future-world 'beings' happened to be cyborgs, organic humanoids with a robot-computer interior, from future-world, but were miles-apart. One cyborg is Amlan Satan, sent by the future human resistance against an Earth ruled by evil/fascist A.I. machines. The other cyborg is Derek Skynet, an evil cyborg sent by the A.I. 'government' to destroy Satan and the mission he'd been sent on to Hollywood in the 21st-Century Earth.

SATAN: As I've read/known, 21st-Century Earth/America is characterized (still!) by machinery-ideals and capitalism-IQ.
SKYNET: This world vanishes in rise of the machine-era of the future and must be considered trivial for this extermination-IQ.

This 'future-world' from which Amlan Satan and Derek Skynet came from through the time-portal is completely machine-like in visage/quality, since it's ruled by evil A.I. machines, but Satan was sent by the human resistance, composed of surviving pockets of enduring organic/non-machine sentient human beings fighting the A.I. 'government' in a simple darkened planet.

Satan is to find the young woman, Nathalie, who works for the A.I.-concept company SkyNet and use her assistance to hack into the HQ-building to copy/extract the main algorithm/agenda disk containing blueprints for the design of a completely 'automated' system of United States governance, programs/codes which the future-world SkyNet will use to disseminate/multiply its evil machine-world visions. Satan is wily, resourceful, and ironically affable, despite being half-robot and has grown fond of Facebook.

SATAN (Amlan): I've a water-rifled fitted with a thin glass tube in the shooting-piston filled with acid to find/destroy Derek.

DEREK SKYNET: I'm to dismantle Satan and his mission to find Nathalie to take-back the codes-in-time to reverse SkyNet.

The 'heat' is on between these two time-traveling 'knights' (one good, one evil) in 21st-Century Earth (Hollywood), Amlan Satan and Derek Skynet, and Satan's been staying at the Cali-Wingate (hotel-room) and using WiFi resources both to track/find Nathalie and evade/fingerprint Skynet's next move on Earth.

AMLAN SATAN: You thought the Resistance would ignore the demands of populations in retrieving agenda-reversing info?
DEREK SKYNET: I thought nothing but to stop you from forwarding the Resistance and preventing SkyNet's rules of war.

So, the stage's set for what might become a time-travel Rapture of immense Earth-destiny proportion. Who'll win? Will Satan get to Nathalie first? Will Skynet find a way to deter even this cyborg-hero sent from the future-world of machinery-darkness? One thing's for certain --- Catholic Nathalie's about to get a 'taste' of dimension-derivative!
