(Sunset as the Narrator)
The year is 2047, and the war against the machines has begun. In 2002, an AI named Skynet became self-aware and deemed the Earth a threat to its very existence. It began by launching a barrage of nuclear missiles upon the Earth, decimating most of humanity. That day has become known as Judgment Day. Since then, the remnants of humanity, led by Spitfire, have formed a resistance team whose only goal is to take their planet back from the machines. Skynet retaliated by making robot killing machines called Hunter Killers and humanoid robots called Terminators. These cyborg destroyers would be used as infiltration units and soldiers for the army. Many Terminator variants, such as the T-70, the T-80, the T-90, and the T-100, were used as guards. The T-200, T-300, T-400, and T-500 were used as the first infiltration units. Then the T-600 and T-700 had a fitting of rubber skin to mimic themselves as humans, but they were easy to spot. And finally, the T-800 used living human tissue to disguise itself, making it more difficult to spot in a crowd. T-900s were then made to destroy rogue Terminators. Then a prototype Terminator known as the T-1000 was made, which was made of liquid metal and acted more humanly than a T-800 or T-900. However, what Skynet didn't know is that there would be two friends of a new model of Terminator that would experience a slight malfunction in their programming, and that malfunction may turn the tide of the war in humanity's favor.
Terminator Malfunction
Written By: Grand-Galvatron
"Hey, Lyra, how's that lock coming?" Bon-Bon said
"This is one tough nut to crack, but I'm almost there, Bon-Bon," Lyra said as she was hacking the door.
(They finally hack the door to the Terminator Production line, only to see many upon many deactivated T-600 units, all of them in rubber skin disguises.)
"Wow, I would be scared to death right now if those things were activated right now," Lyra said in fascination
"Yeah, that's for sure. Now we need to see if any T-800s are lying about; that would be a much bigger problem." Bon-Bon said.
"Hey, Bon-Bon, I think I found some kind of secret room," Lyra said.
Lyra and Bon-Bon entered the room, only to notice that they had strayed into the Terminator production line. The room was full of not only deactivated T-600, T-700, and T-800 endoskeletons but also other T-800s that were being constructed. However, two Terminators stood out from the rest as their endoskeletons looked different from the other Terminators in the building. One of them was labeled the T-X1 Dominator Class and the T-X2 Strategist Class.
"T-X," Lyra said in shock. "I've never heard of a T-X before."
"It must be a new model," Bon-Bon confirmed. "I think we should destroy them before they are activated."
"Hey, they don't look like they're activated; how about we get a closer look?" Lyra said.
"No, don't touch anything; if we trip the security, we'll have hunter-killers crawling all over us," Bon-Bon warned Lyra
Just as Bon-Bon said an alarm started echoing throughout the whole building, as 4 T-600 units entered through the door.
"Alert! Alert! Human intruders are detected in the forbidden sector of the production line. Intruders will be terminated." The T-600s said as they readied their weapons.
"Eat laser blasts, metal-heads," Lyra said as she opened fire.
Lyra and Bon-Bon now engage the T-600s, and laser blasts rain all over the area.
Bon-Bon is then hit by a laser blast, sending her flying into the stasis chamber control system, causing it to malfunction.
Error, Error, Stasis Chamber control systems have been breached. Initiating Automatic Activation Sequence," The control station said. "Activating T-X1 and T-X2."
Lyra screamed in agony as she was fatally shot in the heart, killing her instantly.
With the intruders dealt with, the T-600s left the area.
The T-X1 and T-X2's Endoskeletons were then moved by a conveyor belt to the Cyborg Skin Generator as it closed on both endoskeletons.
It then opened up, and in the T-X1's place was a girl with Tan Skin and long red and gold hair, and the T-X2 became another girl with purple skin and long straight purple hair with a pink stripe on it.
The T-X1's chamber opened as the unit collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud

One of the fingers on Sunset's hand started twitching, then her entire hand started moving.
Sunset's eyes slowly opened, at first, her pupils were glowing a bright red, but then the red started to fade away, revealing a pair of Blue-green eyes.
Sunset then weakly groaned as she sat up.
"Mmmm, my head. What happened," Sunset weakly murmured
She then bolted up as she was gazing upon her new surroundings.
"Whoa, wh-what happened here? Where am I?... Who am I? Why am I naked?" Sunset said in confusion. "Ugh, I can't remember anything."
Suddenly, Sunset's ears were assaulted by the blares of the alarm.
"Agh, Would someone shut that stupid alarm up," Sunset shouted in pain. "STOP! STTTTTOOOOPPPP!"
Suddenly, the alarm stopped as the door to the second chamber opened, and another figure fell to the ground.

One of the fingers on Twilight's left hand started to Twitch, which caused Sunset to jump in fright.
Twilight then groaned in a groggy tone of voice as her eyes slowly opened.
The girl's long purple hair moved slightly as Twilight sat up and looked around with tired-looking eyes.

Hello, what is your name? Are you hurt?
Hello, who are you?
Who are you? Are you going to hurt me?

Sunset responded with, "Hello, what is your name? Are you hurt?"
Her response only succeeded in startling Sunset, as she quickly turned to see the one talking to her.
(In Twilight's point of view)

PANIC
Sunset then responded as she started crying from fear.
"Oh, dear. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Sci-Twi said as she tried to calm Sunset down.
This only made Twilight's crying worse, as she then picked up Lyra's laser blaster and prepared to defend herself.
"Please, (sniff) don't hurt me. My head hurts and I don't know where I am or who I am. Please, just don't kill me," Sunset said as she sobbed quietly.
Sunset responded with, "Hey hey hey, please calm down, I think I'm suffering the same predicament that you are. Please put down your weapon, I'm not going to hurt you."
"Then, (sniff) y-you're not going to hurt me?" Twilight asked.
"No, no no no, I would never want to hurt anyone, let alone, kill anyone," Sunset replied. "I know what you're feeling right now, I'm just as scared and confused as you are, how about helping each other find a way to get out of here?
"O-Ok," Twilight said, as she finally calmed down.
"Hey, how about we go through that door and see if we can find an exit," Sunset said.
Sci-Twi and Sunset, after they put on Lyra and Bon-Bon's coats, headed out of the room and started looking for an exit.
However, they soon heard the sound of metal feet approaching their location, as three T-600s appeared.
"T-X units detected," The T-600 on the right said.
"Scans have detected flaws in unit programming," The T-600 on the left said.
"Conclusion and Solution, defective units must be...TERMINATED!" The T-600 in the middle proclaimed as all three started to fire their weapons.
Both Sci-Twi and Sunset got into cover.
"I don't think these soldiers will be needing their weapons anymore," Sunset said as she picked up one gun and gave the other to Twilight.
Then both of them opened fire upon the T-600 destroying two of them before the last one retreated.
Eventually, Twilight and Sunset finally found the exit to the factory and made it out without being detected.
They had been wandering for a long time, and both of them were getting very tired, especially Twilight, who could barely keep her eyes open, so Sunset had to carry Twilight on her right shoulder.
"(Yawn), Hey, how long until we find a place to rest? My vision is getting blurry," Twilight said in a groggy voice.
"Let's just get off this rock bridge and once we find a suitable place, we'll stop for a rest break," Sunset said as Twilight rested her head on Sunset's shoulder.
But Twilight couldn't keep herself awake anymore, as her grip on Sunset's shoulder loosened.
"Hey...I don't feel...so...," Twilight said as she finally lost consciousness, and as her grip loosened, she fell into the depths below.
"TWILIGHT!!!" Sunset screamed in terror as she saw her friend fall into the cloudy depths. But, Sunset then saw that Twilight was hanging by the hood of her coat on a rock point, quietly snoring.
"Oh, thank goodness, that almost scared the living daylights out of me," Sunset said as she looked for a way to get to Twilight.
Sunset then climbed down the rock ledge until she was close enough to grab her friend.
"Alright, Twi, let's climb back up and once we hit hard land, we'll take a little rest break," Sunset said as they got to the top of the cliff.
However, when she got to the top, she didn't see that a figure was behind her, it was a resistance soldier, Flash Sentry. He then raised the butt of his rifle to knock her out, but as it came into contact with her head, it shattered to pieces.
"Ow, Sunset whined as she rubbed her head from the impact of whatever hit her. "Hey, what was that for?!"
Then she saw a man who had Navy blueish hair and military attire on, as the man reached his hand out to her.
"My name is Flash Sentry of the Human Resistance," Flash said. "Come with me if you want to live."
