The blast's overpressure kicked up a gale, sweeping outward in a radial wave with a layer of dusty gray sand. Pale smoke billowed up, lifting the police car T-1000 had borrowed into the air before twisting it into a pretzel and dropping it back down. Dad leaped out of the sand, raised his M79, and fired.
With a dull thump, the 40mm grenade spun into the liquid metal, now flattened into a pancake by the blast. It burst with a hiss, releasing a spray of brilliant sparks and thick smoke. No one else could see any of this or hear the sounds. All they saw was a cloud of white smoke surging out through the dust left by the remote bomb's explosion. It was thermite.
"You're terminated!"
The red glow of electronic eyes flickered behind his sunglasses. Dad pulled a detonator out of his backpack and pressed the button without hesitation.
A blinding white flash burst forth. Only a grating sizzling sound followed as thick white smoke billowed out. A fountain of brilliant sparks soared ten meters into the air before raining back down. A wave of heat washed over him.
