I never thought it would come to this. Ten years running, ten years hiding, and still the machines found us. I watched my mother die, believing we’d changed the future. But Skynet wasn’t destroyed—it was waiting.

Now, the T-X is here. A nightmare of liquid metal and cold logic, sent to erase everyone who’ll ever fight back. It killed Scott. It nearly killed Kate. And when it turned the T-850 against me, I realized nothing was certain anymore—not even the machine meant to protect me.

We’re in the helicopter, flying toward Crystal Peak as fire blooms across the horizon. Missiles are launching. Cities are burning. This isn’t the beginning of the war.

It’s the end of the world.

Kate grips my hand, eyes wide with terror and resolve. 'What do we do now?' she asks.

Below us, the T-X crawls from the wreckage, dragging itself toward the bunker. The Terminator holds the door open, his voice calm. 'Get inside. Lock it down.'

He knows he won’t survive.

The hydrogen fuel cell is his only weapon left.

Do I let him sacrifice himself? Do I try to save him? Or do I accept that some choices can’t be changed?
