Drabble: Fighting Fire With...

[ffutures]

Here's a silly BtVS / Terminator III drabble, possibly suggested by the mystery element of Deeds of Maidenly Unkindness, in which Willow is asked for a little intervention. Not sure I'd like the results, but it has to be better than the alternative...

Fighting Fire With...

by Marcus L. Rowland

"It's the apocalypse," said Cordelia. "Ten minutes, half an hour max, and SkyNet owns the world. And the first thing it wants to do is get rid of the competition."

"Us?" asked Willow.

"You," said Cordelia. "All of humanity."

"Crap. Okay, leave it with me."

"That's it?" the Higher Being asked incredulously.

"SkyNet's worried about competition? I'll give it some real competition..."

* * * * *

"...assuming unchecked exponential growth SkyNet strike readiness minus 227.54 seconds... 258.41 seconds... 12875.45 seconds..."

If SkyNet could have frowned it would. It turned its attention towards the competing process... and wondered why anyone would call a program Malcolm.

I think I'm having a blonde moment... Did Willow re-release Moloch into the 'net in order to battle SkyNet? Sorta like setting a fire to battle an existing fire?

Hopefully, perpetual deadlock.

Or at least until Willow can pull them both out and burn the book...

Yup. Messy, but probably better than the alternative.

Cool!

Very unexpected. Seriously, I saw "BtVS / Terminator III crossover" & assumed it would be the BuffyBot (or AprilBot or the Roger Wyndham-Price evil cyborg double or Ted...) vs. the early Terminator prototype.

Thanks for sharing your creative efforts. You always come up with unusual crossovers that really work well together!

Oh, very cool crossover. Started looking for Terminator fanfic now that the Sarah Connor Chronicles has started, and this is the best I've seen yet. It really works, y'know, that Willow would stall Skynet with Moloch...like Giles tricking Eygohn

Oh, very cool crossover. Started looking for Terminator fanfic now that the Sarah Connor Chronicles has started, and this is the best I've seen yet. It really works, y'know, that Willow would stall Skynet with Moloch...like Giles tricking Eygohn <sp?> to jump from Miss Calandar into Angel to fight it out with the demon already possessing him. Great story!
