After Ace begins to throw cards everywhere, the kids accidentally run into the janitor. The janitor then raises his leaf (finger), & the kids instinctively duck as the T-1000’s finger instantly points in their direction & extends at lightning speed, piercing through the wall behind them. The kids run down a corridor, the T-1000 (now in default Cactus form) in hot pursuit (Sporo, Draken, & a few more characters who are not under me (or just random), having never seen terminators (only 1% of the world knows that there are such a thing as terminators), wonder what the heck was that). They then meet Cyphin, who morphs into his default form, gets in front of the kids, & extends his hand & configures it in the form of a huge round shield, blocking the dart barrage of the T-1000.

Teleporting is a bit too much (even if that happens, the T-1000, being a supercomputer like every terminator, wouldn’t be fooled). Let’s have it that ventilation shaft is in the corridor, where the kids escape (Cyphin shouts: "Go, now!"), while the T-3000 grabs & throws the T-1000 into the canteen, where the fight begins. Sporo & Draken get separated, travel through a different vent, & end up facing Ace on the other end. Well, Cyphin hates colateral damage (unlike other terminators, he doesn't like too much blood and gore, and public damages) so he forces the T-1000 to have a duel outside the school.

And Sporo II and Draken wouldn't even care if they see one. They don't know and they will forget it anyway. And Cyphin was looking back, so his identity isn't blewn. One thing with the T-1000: he can’t transform his hands into guns or anything, only simple blades (that is only something for The Terminator, who fell into holy plant food). Same for the T-3000. What I meant by dart gatling was spitting thorns as a Cactus.

Of course, when T-1000s & T-3000s disguise, it does not mean that they wear a skin or something. Their skins just change appearance, bulk, features, color, etc, like a chameleon.

Leo, mate, the thing is, no terminator, no matter how human (or plant-like, or zombie-like, or, yeah, you get the point) they act, are all the same: They are machines, & they do not like or hate damage, for, as long as they do the mission, they don’t care how much destruction is dealt. The like or hatred of damage is something not even the most human-like of terminators possess. If the T-3000 won’t allow damage, it would not be because he does not like damage (no terminator likes or dislikes damage, so you can’t say Cyphin isn’t like them), but rather, to ensure no suspicious traces of he & the T-1000 remain. But then again, if that’s the case, then the T-1000 will be the one to throw him out of the window. And, of course, you can’t reason with terminators, & it’s not like you can say “Hey, let’s fight outside so no damage happens.”, because, as I said earlier, they don’t care about damage. Cyphin, being a terminator, should know that, & should have attacked the T-1000 immediately.

Here’s the main definition for all terminators, even T-3000s: 

'“They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pain, or pity, or fear, or remorse. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.” '

<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">No terminator acts different, no matter what. That’s a 100% accurate fact. Since your character is a terminator, he has to stay in line with that, & not deviate as “one of a kind”. To make things right & have him act as a terminator should, you should stop making your character too human, too peaceful, & make him more violent, cold, single-minded, & uncaring, like any heartless machine.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Usually, terminators do not talk to one another, their only interaction is through physical combat. And it’s best not to talk to a terminator unless it’s your ally, because the machine would not listen anyway.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">So in short, Cyphin would not care whatever is destroyed, they do not care how many people die in the process, all that matters is protecting the people & destroying the enemy. In the same way, the T-1000 cannot be bargained with. The right thing he would do is punch the T-1000 through a wall or grab a fire extinguisher & whack the T-1000 on the head, because that’s how all terminators act. <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Of course, since the school gets damaged, the kid witnesses would either spill the beans & not get believed in, or they would say they don’t know, or blame everything on Ace. Either way, the thing that could happen is that a mysterious engineer (Cyphin in disguise) will come by & offer to fix the building (actually, the mission is to ensure the kids' safety). Anyway, I corrected that scene in family day.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">BTW, I assume your school days are over. Does this mean you are free & able to spend more time here? Not realy done schooling. But our test is in half-day sesion. And the boys turn is done. So I have to spend some of my time here. We still have one flippin' week!!!

And yeah. Don't get angry. I said that Cyphin's my character, so something can be different to him and the others. He can feel little undetectable sadness (only shown when Mineski is in trouble). He's a different one, okay? He's my character so some specialties is also my decision. And his hands aren't conventional weapons. His main weapon is the bar code scanner ( in GW@, it's called the Code Curruptor) It's the one that changes into different weapons, not his hands. I was actually preventing some of my characters to do cursing, swearing, doing much blood and gore, etc.

Let me explain...

The bar code scanner Cyphin owns is just a normal one. He touched it with his specialized hands and it became a weapon that shifts to one another. He doesn't know how to change hands (you know, bad pun) and thus rely to the weapon to do the thing. His hands' main purpose is to syphon energy and data from electronic devices. he also has a corrupted AI unit (a vintage computer) strapped at his back. This ensures him to not destroy stuff when not nessesary. The reason Cyphin avoids casualties and damages.

So yeah, very sorry to depict them like that. That taking off the disguise thing, that's just comedy but you should also get the logic (that he's transforming into another form?).

However, your second-in-charge to my characters, you can neft some of Cyphin's personality (but as long as you agree with my compliment, capish?). <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Mate, he’s a T-3000. How could not know how to change hands when the thing’s programmed into him? You can’t have a T-3000 not know how to do stuff, because these are robots with programming, & the fact that he can have his hands shift into simple blades is something that’s programmed at a basic level. Saying he doesn’t know he can do that is like saying that a bacteria does not know how to multiply itself. And man, some things can never change, & all terminators have to stay in line with that main thing, which means they are robots who you cannot beg to, robots who cannot “not know” their abilities & stuff, robots who do not care about damages or deaths that do not have anything to do with their mission.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">In short, you can’t avoid Cyphin being able to morph his hands (not weapon) into blades, because that’s one main defining trait (his gun can then be a high-tech weapon that allows him to have weapons his hand cannot transform into, because all T-1000s & T-3000s can really turn their hands into are just simple blades or hooks, nothing more complex than that). You can’t avoid Cyphin having no care for collateral damage. He has to be in line with the terminator ways. The only specialty you can add is, really, the weapon, & the little emotion part, but other than that, Cyphin has to remain as a T-3000, an android that can change forms, turn hands into blades, phase through walls, & remaining as stiff as any machine. He may be your character, but he’s a terminator, he’s a T-3000, & he has to remain that way.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Here, let me tell you the T-3000’s default stats, & they are, like, read-only; cannot be edited or removed:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">*Can phase through solid matter

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">*Can change form & therefore be able to copy people (can only copy non-terminators)

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">*Can reconfigure his body form (means that he could turn his hands into simple stabbing & slashing weapons like knives & spikes, this could also mean he could buff his body into a more muscular form)

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">*Has a little more emotional capability than other terminators.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">*Weak to electromagnetic forces

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">*Refer herefor more stuff (alternatively, see this video, which features a villainous T-3000)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">You could say Cyphin made the weapon to allow him access to weapons his arm cannot change into. But he should still have the same abilities, you cannot change the stats above, & you cannot go against the main definition of terminators (They can’t be bargained with, bla bla bla). Those are stuff beyond your changing, you can customize anything but those stats. Tampering with those stats won’t make him a T-3000 (or even a terminator) anymore.
