I don't own MK, The Characters, Midway, or the name Wild Guard.

IN THE SOUTHERN AREA

Reese, Jamal, and Cj felt the power drop.

" Shit! Somebody just got done in!!" Jamal yelled.

" Let's get over to where it is!!" Reese replied. " I just hope it isn't one of ours."

The three jetted over to the downtown area.

Atop of the tall building. Darkheart and Rahzgriz felt the power drop. They knew who it was.

" Shit!! It's Adrian!!" Rahzgriz roared.

" We gotta get to him!!" Darkheart told him.

The two jumped off the building and flew off.

BACK IN DOWNTOWN

Adrian felt his life trickling away as he was at the mercy of Tak and Cy-5. Tak shook his head violently swinging Adrian in the air until Adrian was thrown off and he crashed into the ground. Adrian's eyes slowly began to close. But his last vision was Tak walking up to him but was blasted away by someone. Adrian slowly turned his head and saw Marquita, and the rest of the team.

" Hahahaha......Now..your...ass...is....finished." Adrian spoke before closing his eyes.

Jenny ran up to him and cradled him into her arms crying softly. The rest of the team locked eyes with Tak and Cy-5. Just then Rahzgriz pressed his hand on Adrian's throat.

" He's......still alive!!!" He announced to the group.

Everyone turned to him shocked.

" Listen!! Go and find a way to heal Adrian!!" Reese told Marquita and the rest. " We'll stay and fight these two!!"

Marquita grabbed Adrian and hefted him onto her back and she, along with Cindy, Maya, and Jenny took off. While Reese, Cj, Jamal, Darkheart, and Rahzgriz stayed behind to fight Tak and Cy-5.

" So I take you are Wildguard." Tak said.

The five males didn't answer him. Instead he recieved a punch in the jaw by Darkheart. Tak went flying into a nearby building. Moments later he resurfaced dusting himself off as he walked towards the group.

" That was an impressive punch." Tak responded. " Let me show you mine!"

With a burst of speed he dashed towards Darkheart and delivered a haymaker that knocked Darkheart to the ground. Cy-5 began to destroy some buildings he fired at the one that Adrian found survivors in and destroyed that one. The boys couldn't take it anymore.

" THAT ENOUGH YOU METALLIC BASTARD!!" Reese roared as he kicked Cy-5 in the face. The Cyborg fell to the ground but rose back to his feet.

" Yo big bro." Jamal called. " There may still be survivors in the city. It'll be a smart move if we go somewhere open and fight."

" He's right." Darkheart agreed as he got to his feet. " If we fight here. We'll have more casuallties."

Reese turned to the War Gods.

" Does that sound good to you?" He asked.

" If you want to choose another place for your graves. Then so be it." Tak said.

The seven fighters flew off to find a suitable battle ground.

IN A GRASSY PLAIN

Marquita genlty let Adrian down into the grass, and Maya pressed her hand on his neck.

" He's still alive....but just barely." She said.

Jenny walked over to Adrian and held him close. Then she started speaking an ancient chant. Suddenly Adrian began to glow a faint green. When she finished. Adrian's body was lifted into the air with green energy flowing around him. Then he was lowered to the ground. Jenny ran up to him.

" Adrian....Can you hear me?" She asked.

Adrian's eyes slowly opened up.

" Where am I?" He asked as he got to his feet. " Wasn't I dead?"

" Yeah, but I revived you." Jenny answered.

He looked at Jenny and smiled.

" What would I do without you?" He asked as he hugged in a tight embrace.

" Adrian what happened?" Marquita asked.

" I dunno. All I know is that when I let my guard down. The stone creature stabbed me with his helmet." Adrian replied. " Where are the others?"

" Their back at the city. They're fighting the War Gods." Maya replied.

" No...We have to go back!!" Adrian said. " Those two are extremely resilient."

" So are our guys." Marquita said. " He may not be my favorite person, but Reese can take a beating and come back for some more."

" But remember the warning the girl from the future spoke of." Maya said. " We're supposed to die in this battle."

" She's right we have to go back." Cindy agreed.

Adrian stopped them.

" No. I'll go. I've got a score to settle with those War God bastards." He told them clenching his fists.

Jenny rested her hand in his.

" Please be careful." She said.

He kissed her gently.

" Don't worry I'm coming back." He told her.

Adrian blasted off to return to the battle. After a while Marquita and the others followed him.

BACK WITH THE OTHERS.

The five Wildguard males and the two War Gods continued their search for a suitable battlefield when suddenly Tak and Cy-5 stopped immdiately and decended to the ground.

" This is far enough." Tak called up to them.

The five looked down and they decended as well.

" Alright...."started Reese who began breathing extremely hard. " What's the deal with destroying the city?"

Everyone but Tak and Cy-5 noticed it.

" What the hell?" Darkheart thought " Reese didn't even fly that long but yet he's breathing as if he used all his power."

" It was to lure you here." Tak responded. " The lives of these pathetic creatures are of no concern to us. Nor my lord Justice. Now we fight boy."

Cy-5 stood in front of Tak.

" I WANT TO FIGHT THE ONE CALLED REESE." It spoke.

Reese smiled and got into his stance.

" Bring it bitch." He said.

Cy-5 charged at Reese and unleashed a barrage of punches but Reese dodged them all. Reese then stopped Cy-5's attacks and uppercutted the cyborg into the air. Cy-5 landed on his feet, jumped back a couple of feet and took off to the sky. Reese followed right behind him.

" YOUR MINE!!" Reese roared.

Cy-5 hid behind a rock and proceeded to blow it up into small pieces. The pieces flew every where causing Reese to sheild himself from the small shards and the dust. But as he did Cy-5 emerged from the dust and rubble and tried a sneak attack but Reese counted the attack with a knee to the jaw, sending the cyborg crashing into the landed on the ground. Cy-5 attacked with a kick but Reese used the zanzoken afterimage to move aside. He reappeared behind Cy-5 and connected with an elbow into the lower spine area. The blow was so powerful it sent Cy-5 into a nearby cliff. The cyborg got to his feet and charged towards Reese again. This time he tried a torpedo headbutt but Reese caught him and sent him in the air with an axe kick. Reese flew behind him with incredible speed. Cy-5 regained his composure and he unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks. But then Reese turned it around and unleashed his barrage of punches and kicks. Then Reese unleashed a massive knee to the chin and a spinning hook kick to the jaw. Then he continued his relentless assault but then Cy-5 turned it around and tried his best to fight back. But Reese still managed to hit Cy-5 with a massive uppercut and a kick to the gut. When Cy-5 tried to attack again. Reese was on him with an elbow to the gut. Reese ended his assault with an axe handle like move that sent Cy-5 floating back. Reese then began his assault again, ending it by knocking Cy-5 into the ground.

" All Right Reese!!" Cj yelled.

" That's how you do it big bro!" added Jamal.

" Man what a champ!" chimmed Rahzgriz.

But Darkheart didn't say anything he watched the fight with suspision.

Cy-5 got back up and was pretty peeved

" Damn look at that!! If Reese hit me like that I wouldn't be getting up for a week!!" Jamal said.

" Yeah." added Cj. " The hell are they made of anyway?"

Reese started breathing heavy again. This time he knew he had to end this fight quickly. He began to gather his energy together to unleash the attack he learned from Sub Zero. He closed his and consentrated on his center. Slowly the polar energy gathered into his fist. He looked down to Cy-5 and launched himself down to him.

" POLAR EXPLOSION!!"

Reese hit the cyborg with an explosive and cold might. But when the dust settled. Cy-5 grabbed Reese's fist and sent him sliding into the ground. Reese managed to get on his knees.

" Oh great now what?" He said to himself.

Tak smiled sadistically while the others where wondering what was going on.

" Yo big bro!!!" Yelled Jamal.

Between gasps for air, Reese did his best to speak.

" Jamal.....stay.....back." He choked out. Then he thought to himself again.

" This some ol' bullshit. I feel like I'm about to die from no air." He thought.

Cy-5 began walking towards him. Arms crossed, and smiling evily.

Reese knew he was in trouble.
