The phone is lifted by one man as the small group gathers around. The voice of Jax fills the silence."Let's see. Ah. Now I remember where we left off." The white flash appears again and the three are visible. Jax is the first to wake and stands up seeing the rain drip off his armor. The tarp still stands where he placed ace and Marcus under. Jax lifted his rifle and shook Marcus awake. Ace stretched and wagged his tail happily. "So we survived the night huh?" Marcus chuckled and got to his feet leaning on his rifle . "I guess we did." Jax looked around and motioned for the others to follow. He saw the guards on patrol and creatures ontop of buildings seeming to be planning for something. A red one jumped infront of them and Marcus shot it in between the eyes quickly and without hesitation. Jax already heard the alarms blaring as soon as the first shot was fired. The made a break for it shooting out the alarms and search lights as they moved. A guard in orange armor appeared infront of them. He was larger the the rest and carried a studded club that was glowing at the top. They could feel the power resanating off the guard,it had one large circle in the middle of the mask. It was also glowing illuminating the path ahead. Ace was whimpering and Marcus was slightly shaking.Jax kept his ground and aimed his rifle . The giant guard yelled"Fear the warden!" And drove his club into the ground sending the ground quaking beneath their feet. Jax fell over and ace quickly started charging the warden. Strange marking were glowing on the dog as he attacked . Marcus helped jax up and the both charged with their bayonets. Jax sliced the legs and Marcus aimed for the eye. The guard swung wildly at the three whiffing it until Jax heard the crack. His helmet frame was breaking . Stumbling back Marcus jabbed the guard continuesly. The guard fell and more showed up. Everything went black for jax. The last thing he saw and heard was a hail of gunfire. He was fading in and out realizing he was being dragged. Marcus was firing still and ace was attacking guards on the ground. It was a mystery of what was happening. Questions raced through his mind, who was helping him? Why was it him on this adventure? Why was this happening ? Why wasn't he like the others? He simple let himself go closing his eyes hoping he would wake up. By then he didn't care if he did. Maybe then he'd find out about his past. The white flash appears and the phone is visible. The crowd had a shocked face. Jax didn't give his usual ending. Just left the phone to its monotone ringing.
