Chapter 1:
"John Connor"
"I should have realized our destiny was never to stop Judgment Day. It was merely to survive it." – John Connor
"I got frustrated every time I thought about it. I should have known it. I'm smarter than that. Most people would think I was scared then, but I wasn't. I knew better. I was raised better. I knew mankind as we knew it needed me and Katherine. The world couldn't afford a scared John Connor. They needed a savior.
Me and Katherine were trying to stop Judgment Day by trying to destroy Skynet before it started. I had done it once, thinking I actually stopped it, but I only postponed it for ten years.
I escaped the grids and lived life as a bum. My mother, Sarah Connor, died of leukemia during that time period. Jesus, I miss her. If it wasn't for her, mankind would have no chance. Skynet attempted to kill her by sending one of their machines after her before I was born and stop me from leading a rebellion to save humans, but they failed. I was born nine months later.
However, my mom tried to destroy Cyberyne when I was a kid, but she failed and was sent to a hospital. I was put in a foster home, where I grew up before I became a teenager. I thought she was a nut when she had told me the stories…until he showed up. He was a T-800. I called him Uncle Bob so no one would know he was what he was.
A little after that, I learned that he was to obey every one of my orders. He and I broke my mom out of Pescadero. Knowing that she wasn't crazy after all, I loved her too much to let her stay in the hell hole for trying to help the world.
We succeeded at destroying Cyberdyne and Uncle Bob sacrificed himself to rid the world of the last thing that was remotely related to the terminators. We thought we stopped Judgment Day. But as I said before, we only postponed it.
Ten years later, I was the bum. I thought Judgment Day was non-existent. But I was wrong. I was proved wrong when Katherine and I ran into each other again. In her vet office. Another model was sent to our time. The T-X, a more advanced model. This time, however, the terminator targeted civilians who were destined to help me in my fight for mankind. It was only by coincidence that she stumbled upon me. I thought I was doomed. This time, I didn't have a protector to help me or the equipment to defeat Skynet's greatest model I had seen. I was proved wrong once again when an upgraded T-850 arrived to aid Katherine and me. I learned later that Katherine sent him from the future to help, and he was the same machine that kills me in the future. I'm sure, though, that that event has been altered.
Katherine and I traveled to Skynet to try to stop her father from triggering Judgment Day. Her father lied and told us we could stop it at Crystal Peak. When we arrived there, I realized he had tricked us, but for a good reason. He wanted us to survive the attack. I started to hear voices. Voices of military men. I started to give orders and giving them information of what was happening. One thing leads to another and here I am the leader of what will hopefully be the resistance army against the machines. It will be Tech-Com versus Skynet and I have no plans of us losing."
