It was about 6:30 pm and Pearl was making dinner, and Darby sat on the couch next to Garnet, Steven and Connie were upstairs chatting to each other and Amethyst was chilling by leaning on a wall.

Amethyst: "So I hope you don't mind me asking but who was your former boss?"

Darby then dropped a glass he was holding in his hand.

Garnet: "Are you ok?"

Darby: "SKYNET. It's an AI, artificial intelligence."

Steven then walked downstairs with Connie to hear this story.

Darby: "SKYNET had one goal. Wipe out humanity, it says that they're a threat to it's own existence. On August 29th 1997. SKYNET woke up. It started a global fire by launching nukes around the globe. 5 billion people died in the nuclear fire. Survivors called it judgement day. Most of the humans I've hunted were either killed or captured and put into camps for extermination."

Connie: "So that was your purpose. To kill endlessly."

Darby took off his blue wayfarers.

Darby: "Sadly... yes. I was programmed to be a terminator. Now... I don't know if I should say this but..."

Garnet started to comfort him by putting her arm on his shoulder.

Garnet: "What's wrong."

Darby: "I-I'm worried. SKYNET could send a terminator to kill me. And maybe take you and experiment on you."

Amethyst: "Chill! Don't worry."

Then a man walked into the house without permission.

???: "Maybe he should worry."

When they turned around to see the man. He had gargoyle sunglasses and a leather jacket.

Darby: "It's him. STEVEN RUN!"

Then the man hits Darby with superhuman strength which sent Darby flying towards the table.

???: "You will be terminated."

Steven: "Leave us alone."

The man looked at Steven and grabbed him by the neck.

Pearl: "Steven!"

???: "You are nothing but an organic waste to SKYNET."

Then the man was stabbed by a silver sword from Darby's shapeshifted arm.

Darby: "Leave them alone! It's me you want!"

???: "Correct."

The man was then hit by Garnet's gauntlet in the face revealing an endoskeleton skull.

Connie: "What is he?"

Amethyst: "WHAT?!"

Then Darby grabbed the terminator's head and pulled if off with brute strength.

Pearl: "What on Earth was he?"

Darby: "That...was a T-800. SKYNET's feared killer."

Garnet: "How did it find us?"

Darby: "I'm not sure."
