I don't own MK, The characters, Midway Nor the name Wild Guard
IN EARTHREALM
Marquita landed in the amazon jungle. She looked around the beauty of the jungle. The sound of the different animals echoed through out the forest.
" Alright I've got to find this amazon princess, but the thing is, Amazons exsisted during greek mythology. But I won't question Liu Kang nor has he ever shown us a reason not to trust him so I better start my journey." She thought to herself.
She dusted herself off and began her search.

Darkheart had found the little girl he was protecting, but he was having a hard time getting in because of the super tarkata that stood in his way. With a loud roar Darkheart charged into battle. One tried to impale Darkheart but the demon didn't feel the blow and he grabbed the tarkata by the head and flung him into a small group that was charging towards him. Then another one tried an attack but Darkheart teleported away from the attack and appeared behind the beast and ripped it's spine and skull out. Another one charged towards him, but Darkheart smacked it in the face with the spine. Soon the tarkata began to surround him. He was strong but there too many. But right when one was going to attack, a ki blast deflected the attack useless. Everyone turned in different directions to see were the blast came from. Suddenly a sword slashed in the air and a tarkata was sliced in half. The owner of that sword turned out to be Jamal.
" You." Darkheart growled.
" You alright man?" Asked Jamal.
" I don't need your help mortal!" Was Jamal's answer.
Jamal wouldn't take that for an answer.
" Look man. I was told to help you!" He started.
But Darkheart still wouldn't hear him out.
" I'm fine! Go away!" He roared.
Then Reese appeared still wearing the hooded coat. He kept his face hidden as he tried to help in secret. But Jamal looked at him and started fighting him, while Darkheart fought off the tarkata.
" Big bro I can't belive you betrayed us, yet you saved Cindy. Why?" Jamal asked.
Reese wanted nothing more than to answer his brother. Out of everyone he knew in Earthrealm, Jamal was the only person he could trust but he couldn't not until he finished his mission.
" I have no need to explain." Reese said.
That answer struck Jamal like he was hit in the face with a brick. Jamal attacked Reese with fury. Reese fought back. Between the two of them. When it came down to power, Reese and Jamal were equal, the only two differences were that while Jamal fights using speed and lighting like attacks, Reese fought with an aggresive nature and used wave like attacks. Neither could gain an upper hand. Suddenly a scream echoed through out the battlefield. The three warriors looked up and saw the little girl in the clutches of one of Shiro's minions. The figure turned out to be the wraith Sertur.
" Darkheart help me!!" She cried.
Darkheart tried to get to the girl but he was quickly surrounded by the remaining super tarkata.
Sertur then turned to the little girl.
" You want to be with Darkheart, then go to him!!" He yelled as he threw the little girl off the roof sadistic pleasure.
"NOOOO!!!" Darkheart yelled, but try as he might he couldn't get to her, but Jamal caught her in time before she hit the ground and died.
Reese ran up to Jamal followed by Darkheart who found the weakness of the super tarkata and finished them off. He checked the little girl. She was still alive and he gave a sigh of relief. He looked at Jamal for a moment and he showed Jamal some respect.
" Thank you mortal." He said.
Then he turned to Sertur and let out the roar of an angry oni as he let out this roar his ki aura flared. He looked at Sertur with a murderous look.
" Demon you will die for harming the girl!!" He said.
Sertur jumped down from the roof and fought Darkheart, Sertur executed a right hook but Darkheart countered with an elbow knocking Sertur back a couple of feet.
" So you can back your words. Well let's see if you can dodge this!!" Sertur said as he charged at Darkheart and connected with a knee to the face.
" You made this too easy you fool!!" Sertur said. But then as Darkheart was spun around by the attack, he counted with a kick to the back of Sertur's head. Sertur was shocked at this attack.
" But how did you....?"
But Darkheart interrupted him with an uppercut. Sertur then decided to unsheath his orge sword. It was a kris-type sword with the edges flaked away it looked as if it was used to rip a victim's flesh and body fat open. Sertur then looked at Darkheart and smiled.
" Now my demon brethern try to survive this along as you can!!"
Darkheart simply laughed.
" You think I didn't come prepared?! You sorry excuse of a demon!!" Darkheart said.
And with a flick of his arms, two long blades extended from his elbows and he got into his stance. Sertur attacked first with a downward slash, Darkheart with one blade and slashed with the other blade but Sertur moved back and tried another swipe at Darkheart but the bigger oni dodged and sliced off Sertur's arm. Sertur dropped to the ground. Darkheartwas going to finish him but then the little girl had regained consciousness and she gave Darkheart a look that said "please you've done enough." Darkheart then sheathed his blades and walked over to the girl.
" Are you okay?" He asked her.
The girl simply nodded.
" What are you going to do now?" Asked Jamal.
Darkheart then stood up and faced Jamal and Reese.
" I told you I didn't need your help but yet you stuck around like a fly in shit!!" He growled. But then he looked at the girl and sighed. " But you would've left, the girl would have been killed. You have my thanks. I shall help you any way I can."
Jamal extended his hand. Darkheart execpted it. Suddenly a portal opened up and Sertur jumped to his feet but before he left he gave them this startling news.
" You may have beaten me you fools but Lord Shiro will have his victory!" He proclaimed.
He then jumped through the portal. Jamal and Darkheart tried to go after him but the portal closed.
" Reese why were you here?" Jamal started.
He got no answer so when Jamal turned around, Reese was no where to be found.
" What the hell was that all about?" Asked Jamal.
" He is a weird one he is." Darkheart said to Jamal. " I met him before. He is extremely strong."
Just then a portal opened up.
" We'll go to the realm of Edenia." Jamal told him. " I'll worry about Reese later."
The three of them dove into the portal. As the portal closed, Reese was looking down from the roof. His face still hidden.
" I wish I could tell you bro. I wish I could. But for now you and Marquita have got to gather everyone for this battle." He thought to himself. Reese turned around and the angel wings came into view again and he flew away leaving a trail of feathers.
AN/ I know this chapter started with Marquita in the amazon jungle but the next chapter will be about her search.
