Chapter One: The Beginning

2035: Outside Serrano Point Resistance Base

Boom! A huge explosion rocked the ground as an HK crashed next to resistance fighter Michael Kane. "Shit!" He swore as dodged the flaming shrapnel from the blast.

"Man that was close" another resistance fighter called, "you ok?"

Kane glanced down at a bloody piece of metal jammed in his side. He pulled it out with a wince and tossed it to the ground. "I'll be fine" he said in a flat tone.

"Man you are hardcore" another resistance fighter called, "what's your secret?"

"I'm actually a terminator that infiltrated the resistance and is programmed to kill you all" Kane said in an emotionless voice, then he laughed and said "naw I'm just extra tough."

"I'll say" the first resistance fighter said.

"Well boys I think we got em all, let's head back to base." Kane said with obvious authority. The other men nodded affirmative and walked back towards the bunker.

After they entered the bunker, the squad broke up and went in different directions. Kane started to head down one of the tunnels when he heard feet running up behind him. He turned around and saw an out of breath resistance fighter run up to him.

The resistance fighter, a kid no older than 16, looked at the man before him. Kane was 5'10, fairly skinny, and looked to be about 18 to 20 years old. He had black hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing a dirty, tattered resistance uniform, had a plasma rifle across his back, and had a silver ring with an oval shaped black gem in the center on his left ring finger.

Kane looked at the soldier for a few seconds then asked "was there something you needed, private?"

The soldier realized he'd been staring and looked embarrassed. "Sorry sir, it's just that I've heard about your reputation."

"Was there something you needed?" Kane asked again louder, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Right, Connor wants to see you in the command center" the soldier said.

Kane looked surprised "Connor, why?" He hadn't spoken to John Connor in person for a long time.

The soldier shrugged "I don't know, I was just told to find you and give you the message and to tell you to hurry."

Kane sighed "alright thanks soldier, I'll head there right away." With that, Kane turned around and headed to the command center to speak with Connor.

2035: Serrano Point Command Center

Kane walked up to the guards standing outside the command center. "Hold it" one of the guards said "what's your business here?"

"I was told to come here to see Connor" Kane said "I was told to hurry."

"Kane right?" the guard asked. Kane nodded. "Connor's expecting you" the guard said "better not keep him waiting." With that the guard stepped out of the way and Kane walked into the command center.

There were more guards around the room. Two men stood around a map in the center of the room. One looked to be in his 50s or 60s and was arguing with the other man who looked to be in his mid 40s. A pretty, brunette girl looking no older than 17 stood behind the second man. She looked up and smiled when she saw Kane. She leaned closer to the younger man and whispered something in his ear. The man then held up his hand and they both stopped arguing.

"Ahh just the man I wanted to see" John Connor said. "Everyone please clear the room, Mr. Kane and I need to have a little chat."

Most of the people looked surprised but did as they were told and left the room. "You too colonel" said John as he saw the older man hesitate. The colonel nodded and left the room. John saw the brunette had not moved and nodded to her. She looked like she wanted to protest but then appeared to think better of it and she left the room as well. Once they were alone, John smiled. "It's good to see you old friend."

"To what do I owe this rare pleasure John?" Kane asked "we haven't talked with each other in months, you've been distant."

"I know I know I've just been caught up in things. I called you here to talk." John said.

"About what?" Kane asked.

"About you" John said as he pulled out a bag that looked like it was filled with blood. "Do you know what I go through to get you this stuff?" he asked in a lower tone of voice "It's not easy keeping your secret."

Kane just shrugged and took the blood bag. He ripped the top off of it and started to drink the blood. As he did, John watched with half fascination, half disgust. After he finished, Kane set the empty blood bag down on the table. "Oh come on John, you know it's worth it. Or don't you think I'm a good soldier anymore?"

"No you're still a great soldier, one of the best" John said. "You know, I'm curious about something, why are you on our side? Aren't we just prey to you?"

Kane looked at John "oh come on John, you already know the answer to that question."

"I know but I want to hear it from you again." John said.

Kane sighed "if Skynet wins, humans will become extinct. No humans equals no blood, no blood equals no more me." He said "plus I happen to like you Connor, you're a friend and a good guy."

Connor laughed "yeah well I'm just glad you're with us." After he finished laughing, Connor looked at Kane. "I have a confession to make, I didn't call you here just to talk." Kane looked at John curiously. "I have special mission for you."

2008: LA Outskirts

A crackling sound was heard from a warehouse in the outskirts of Los Angeles. Lightning and a bubble of blue energy appeared seemingly out of nowhere and made a perfect circular crater in the ground.

At the bottom of the crater crouched a woman, completely nude. She stood up and looked at her surroundings.

The terminatrix stepped out of the crater and considered how to proceed.

Action: Acquire Transportation

The terminatrix walked out of the warehouse and noticed a silver convertible on the side of the road. A blond haired woman in a red jacked stood beside the convertible with a cellphone in her hand. The terminatrix examined the car.

Scanning vehicle... No fuel detected in fuel tank… suggesting action…

The woman hung up the phone and noticed the terminatrix for the first time.

"Oh my god, are you alright?" She asked.

"Fine" the terminatrix replied "I like your car."

The woman looked confused. She was about to reply when the terminatrix reached out and snapped her neck with one hand.

Fifteen minutes later, after she had found gas for the car, the terminatrix was driving down the road.

Action: Locate targets

The terminatrix pulled out the woman's phone and put it near her mouth. A mechanical tone was heard.

Hacking into city and school records...
Secondary targets located
Action: Proceed to nearest target

The terminatrix turned down the road and headed to her target.

2008: LA Industrial Complex

Michael Kane stepped out of a time displacement crater that had formed in the middle of a road near a bunch of warehouses in the Los Angeles Industrial district.

He looked around and noticed no one else was in the immediate vicinity. He also noticed that he was surprisingly hungry. "Hmm, that's weird" he said to no one in particular "I just ate before I came, time travel must have taken a lot out of me."

He noticed for the first time that he was naked. Well Connor did say this would happen, which is why I had to put my ring inside me Kane thought, good thing it's the middle of the night cause I'm not sure if it works like this.

Kane got off the street and walked around the warehouse. He then noticed a man walking down an alleyway behind the warehouse. He smiled to himself. Ahh perfect, dinner time he thought. He walked up behind the man and tapped on his shoulder.

"Ahh! What the...?" The man turned around and saw Kane. "You nearly gave me a heart attack, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, you wouldn't happen to know the year would you?" Kane asked.

"Umm... 2008, you sure you're alright?" The man replied.

Kane smiled "actually now that you mention it, I am a little hungry."

The man looked confused, he was about to reply when Kane grabbed him by the shoulders and stared into his eyes. Kane's pupils dilated and he spoke in a tone slightly different than his normal one.

"You will not scream, cry out, try to run or fight back." Kane said in a hypnotic voice and the man, instantly entranced, just nodded. Kane's eyes grew dark and he pulled back his lips to reveal razor-sharp fangs which weren't there before. He then sunk his fangs into the man's exposed neck. The man winced in pain and looked like he wanted to scream but did not.

About 20 minutes later, Kane walked to the man's car wiping blood off his mouth and finishing putting the man's clothes.

"Well, now time to go find Connor, but first..." he said to himself as he pulled out a knife that was in the man's pocket. He flipped open the knife and sliced open his wrist with barely a wince. He stuck his fingers into the wound and pulled out a ring, the same one he was wearing at the resistance base.

He wiped the blood off the ring and slipped it onto his left ring finger. "There, now I can go find Connor" he said to himself smiling as he got into the car and drove away.
