Just as I turned around I admired the big buildings, and smelled burned hotdogs at the consession stand next to me. I see many people push past each other here on the streets of New York City. As a man walked by me looking nervous, talking on the phone as he said "You mean I didn't get the job"? Just as I was admiring New York City my cellphone began ringing. I checked the caller ID and saw it was my friend Frank. I then answered my phone ro see what he was calling for.

"Hey Kurtis, I was just wondering if you could work overtime for me tomorrow?" Frank asked. "No problem, what time do you need me to be at the police station?" I asked. "At eight a.m." "Oh yeah, and Kurtis I forgot to tell you th.... "Hello?" Kurtis asked with a confused look on his face. He then looked at the cellphone and realized it must have been the connection spot.

So I immediatly called Frank back. Before Kurtis could ask a question, Frank answered "Hey Kurtis, sorry I think I was in a bad connecti......" "Hey Frank are you there?" Kurtis asked questionably. "What the hell is that thing?" Frank blurted out. "What's going on over there?" Kurtis asked a little nervously now. Frank then responded, "Kurtis get to my house as fast as you can i'm calling for backup now, no time to explain." Kurtis then knew something serious was happening.

Kurtis immediatly got into his car and drove to Frank's house. On the way there he saw the people of New York city running and screaming as he saw the sky turn from sunshine to darkness. Stryker was coming closer and closer until he saw the whole New York City police squad shooting at these weird humans that looked somewhat like creatures. One of these so called creatures had razor sharp nails coming out of his arms. He saw another creature that looked like a reptillian man. He then decided to take action.

Just as I went to run to Frank, I saw five New York City policemen get blown back by a huge man with one of the biggest hammers i've ever seen. I have never seen such power from a person like that. I then aimed my gun right at him, but the creature with razor sharp nails jumped on top of me.

He was trying to slice my head with his two foot razors, but I pushed him off and jumped on top of him. I held down his arms by putting my knees on his elbows, and I sat on his stomach. The anger was building up in me and I knew it was time to show this mutant my fury. Kurtis Stryker then began to punch the mutant in the face repeatidly. I was punching him non stop, with each punch making the mutant bleed more and more. Kurtis Stryker was showing the creature no mercy.

As Kurtis Stryker checked his back pocket for his backup gun. He pulled out the pistol and put the barrel right to the mutant's face. The mutant then said "the tarkatan army will make you pay for this." The tarkatan mutant then began to sceam showing his razor sharp teeth that were just as sharp as the razors on his arms. Stryker simply cocked the gun and responded, "go to hell."

Just as he he was going to pull the trigger,he was kicked in the face by a man wearing ninja clothing that were black and purple. "The purple ninja then said "get up Baraka, Shao Kahn is going to make a portal any second. Baraka then responded, "let me cut this human to pieces, I want to watch as he suffers." "I already killed him as you almost died at his hands, you foolish tarkatan, we must go now." Strker then thought how did that purple ninja think he killed me?" It was a simple kick to the face. Stryker finally got to his feet and saw Frank. Just as Strker ran over to Frank, he saw Frank get blown back by a green blast from the man with the huge hammer. He saw Frank fly through the air and smack his back off a building and hit the ground dead.

Kurtis Stryker looked at Frank's body in shock. Kurtis couldn't believe what he was seeing. A tear began to stroll down his cheek. He was just looking at his best friend's body. After all the years of Frank and him being friends, he now knew it was over. He thought it wasan't real, a nightmare possibly. But it was to real to be a nightmare. Kurtis Stryker was suddenly emerged with anger. He pulled out a grenade but brfore he can pull the tag he was blasted by the same green blast that Frank was blasted by.

Kurtis Stryker quickly woke up as sweat was pouring from his head. Stryker has had that same nightmare ever since the event took place two weeks ago. Stryker sat up in bed and tried to figure out the question that was bugging him ever since that catastrophe happened. How did he survive the attacks from those mutants but the other humans didn't. He then thought maybe there was a reason for him survivng, maybe he was a chosen warrior. Maybe it was him to stop Shao Kahn.
