News Files - Terminator
"The machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire. Their war to exterminate mankind had raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here in our present."
In the year 2012, Kyle Reese, a freedom fighter from the future, was sent back in time with a single task: Protect Sarah Connors. A Terminator machine had been sent back by Skynet to kill her, as her son was the key to Skynet's defeat in the far future. Kyle succeeded though he lost his life in the process. He left behind a pregnant Sarah to cope with the knowledge of what was to come: Judgement Day. Sarah began preparing from that day forward, trying everything in her power or some other to be sure her son was ready for his future.
In the year 2023 another Terminator was sent back to kill John Connor when he was 10 years old. A reprogrammed older model Terminator was also sent back, to serve as John's protector. Again, Skynet's attempt was thwarted, and hope remained. Perhaps they could change the future and prevent Judgement Day from happening by stopping Skynet from being created. A new path was before them.
At the age of 15, John found his life yet again in danger from a Terminator threat. And yet again, he found himself under the protection of a former Terminator. This time it was a new model, something unique. Through the next year, they were joined by new allies and faced new enemies.
"The future's not set. There's no fate but what we make for ourselves."
Judgement Day is coming. Can they stop it?
