//------------------------------// // The Shoot-out // Story: Termination // by GGizmo64 //------------------------------// Kyle glared at the students, waiting for an answer. The students complied...by running to the nearest exit in a panic. The mane seven weren't as lucky as Kyle was still fresh on their tail as they ran through the now deserted halls. They busted through the doors to the parking lot to get to a car and escape with no avail, Kyle walked out, pistols at the ready. "We need to split up." Twilight breathed. "We won't be able to get all of us." The girls split up, hiding all over in the lot while trying to remain out of Kyle's sight. Twilight ran over to the nearest car and hide under it, with Sunset not far behind to join her, Rarity ran with AJ behind a truck, Fluttershy hide behind a nearby trashcan. Pinkie Pie ran back close to the school building hiding behind a tree. Dash had some other plans but agreed to stay out of sight for the moment. Kyle walked at a steady pace over to the car with Twilight and Sunset under it. He gave it a good kick. He walked over to another car and knocked on the windows. He knew where they were. Now to draw them- Rainbow gave Kyle a good kick to the back of the head, only to recoil in pain. "Owowowow!" She whined in pain. "What are you made of? Metal?" Kyle's body reshaped itself to face Rainbow. "Yes, actually." Kyle told her. "Well, it's more like programmable matter, that just happens to be metal." Dash then ignored all pain to ask a simple question. "The hell are you?" "A Terminator, an advanced machine from the year 2047 designed to kill humans." Kyle explained to her. Kyle, having enough of Rainbow's nonsense, grabbed her by the throat. Unaware of the sound of an approaching vehicle. "Perhaps if I had your corporation," Kyle stated coldly. "This could've gone with out unnecessary human casualty." "That won't be necessary!" A man's voice shouted, the sound similar to Kyle's own voice, Kyle then let go of Dash to face them man, guns at the ready. The man walked up to Kyle, and took of his hood to reveal, He shares the exact same appearance and voice. "I've been waiting for you." The man quickly whipped out his own pistols, and shot at Kyle, leaving black metallic holes and dents in his body, only to quickly reform. After his ammo runs out, he flips his pistols and pistol whipped Kyle on both sides of his head, temporarily disabling him. Taking advantage of this, he ran back to "his" ambulance, coming out with a canister of gasoline. "Think it's on our side?" Sunset asked back. "Perhaps," Twilight started. "Too early to....." Twilight trailed off at they realized they were found out, Kyle's look-a-like somehow pulling the front of the car off the ground revealing them on the ground. "Come with me if you want to live." He stated. "How the hell are you doing that?" Sunset blurted out. "That's your concern right now?" 'Kyle' asked. Twilight elbowed Sunset. "How do we know your not the one trying to kill us?" Twilight asked. In response, he'd promptly toke a better grip on the car, and threw it to Kyle, crushing him. "Enough for you?" Twilight and Sunset looked at each-other than back at the Machine looking over them. "Better than nothing." Twilight sighed before picking herself up off the pavement, with the Kyle helping Sunset up. "Where are the others?" He asked. "Lost them in the panic." Twilight answered. "Do you have your pho-" He was cut off by Kyle regenerating at shooting him the back of the head, blood spilling on the ground. The others came out of their hiding places to see what went down, seeing their only source of help killed like the rest. Kyle kept his finger on the trigger, has if this man was still somehow alive, surely enough he was half right. The man's spilled blood turned black, before returning to his body as he stood up, the back of his head regenerating. "God, that gets annoying." 'Kyle' growled before tackling his opponent. "Tell them it's safe...well it will be!" Twilight quickly whipped out her phone and began typing a series of texts out to her friends. "THINK HE'S GOOD?" Pinkie yelled, walking over. "It's the best we got at the moment," Rarity told her. Kyle again temporally disabled his opponent again, "EVERYONE ON THE AMBULANCE!" Everyone ran up, quickly boarding the vehicle. "Uh..." AJ gestured the 'Kyle' to his now fully regenerated copy. "Yeah, more of this..." 'Kyle' sighed before reaching into the ambulance and retrieving his shotgun. He turned around to face is opponent, and began to shoot him repeatingly, before kicking him to the ground. He ran back to where he left the canister of gasoline and pulled out a grenade. He proceeded to empty the canister on his copy before retreating back to the vehicle. Kyle began to get up revealing the liquid metal alloy underneath the phase matter. 'Kyle' then threw the grenade to blow him up, enveloping him in fire. "We need to go, now." As they to drive away, Kyle threw a piece of himself, onto the truck, shaping itself as a hinge on the vehicle to track them.
