Hey howdy hey! First off, can I just say that I was a little wary of the reboot, but I think they're doing an AMAZING job! I love how they've changed it just enough that it's different, but they're keeping the heart of the show the same as the original! Ha, I always got made fun of because the original MacGyver ended before I was even born, and now I'm in college and everyone thinks I'm crazy when they see I have all 7 seasons on DVD... Who cares though?! XD

Anyway, for those of you who watched the original MacGyver, there is something in this chapter that is from the original series. Spot it?

I have no beta, and I tried to catch any mistakes, but no one is perfect so if you see any mistakes, apologies!

These characters (sadly) do not belong to me. So...no suing.

A shower of bullets rained around them as MacGyver and Jack crouched behind a desk. Mac peeked around as the hail of bullets stopped, and he saw the shooters creeping closer and closer. He looked around the shack they had been cornered in, finding things he could use to deter their "friends." He mentally checked the items off his list as he spotted them.

"Magazine… fertilizer...starting fluid... and…" His eyes landed on the metal folded chair with a padded back. "Bingo." He pulled out his swiss army knife, then turned to Jack. "Cover me!" he urged. He then stood up in a crouch, keeping as low to the ground as he could so he wouldn't be such an easy target.

He sliced the padding on the seat back, pulling out the cottony substance inside. He then hurried and grabbed the rest of the materials he had spotted, also grabbing a roll of what looked like electrical tape. Ripping out a few pages of the magazine, he laid them flat on a workbench and poured the fertilizer in. He then took the starter fluid and sprayed the chair stuffing with the contents of the aerosol can. After that he laid the soaked padding on the fertilizer, folded the magazine pages over the contents, then stuck a bit more padding out of the end. After that, he taped the ends of the magazine together, preventing the majority of the fertilizer from falling out. He repeated that process four times before his supplies finally ran out.

"Mac, whatever you're gonna do, you'd better do it quick!" Jack urged as the bullets started flying again. "I'm running out of ammo!"

"Just get ready to run for the meet point!" MacGyver yelled over the sound of the discharging weapons. He pulled his lighter out of his pocket and lit the flame, putting it next to the extra bit of stuffing sticking out of one of the rolled up magazine pages, letting the padding act as a fuse. He tossed the item over the desk and waited. Five seconds later there was a loud BOOM and the two of them heard the cries of surprise from the advancing militiamen. While there was chaos, Mac and Jack got up and started running, but not before MacGyver threw his second makeshift bomb. It exploded, giving the two Americans more time to get away.

They raced away from the run-down shed as fast as they could. Mac glanced back, pleased to see smoke coming out of the door. He turned back around, focusing his attention on getting to the drop point where they were supposed to be picked up. Another shot rang out, and this time MacGyver cried out in pain, tripping from the shock. His fingers curled around his forearm, blood seeping from between his fingers.

"Mac!" Jack stopped and hurried back for his friend.

"Jack, I'm fine, it's just a scratch! Keep going!" MacGyver insisted. He got up and kept running, pausing only to turn and throw one of the remaining two explosives, except his aim was off due to the pain in his arm. When it exploded, it was off to the left, completely harmless. MacGyver grimaced when he saw the men chasing them once again getting closer. His face was set in grim determination. Jack saw the look in his friend's eye.

"What are you thinkin', Mac?" he asked warily.

"Keep going, Jack. I'll catch up with you," MacGyver promised. Jack gave him a dubious look, and MacGyver shoved him. "Go!"

"Mac, I'm not leaving you," Jack tried insisting, but his friend turned and glared at him.

"Jack. We have to slow them down somehow. Take this," he said, handing him the thumb drive they had come for. "Get it to Riley, she's waiting at the pick-up site. I'll be there in five minutes," he promised. Jack looked torn, but he finally yanked the thumb drive away from MacGyver's hand, pointing at him sternly.

"Five minutes, or I'm coming back for you!"

Mac shoved his friend, pushing him towards the meeting point, then ran over to the cover of the trees. He bent down and yanked one of the laces off of his boots, checking to see how far away the gun-happy Cubans were. He figured he had less than two minutes before they passed him, so he worked quickly. He tied the shoelace around the bit of padding acting as a fuse, then buried the last homemade bomb, leaving the shoelace and a tiny portion of the bomb above ground. He then watched from behind a tree, waiting for the right moment to light the improvised delay-fuse.

The fire snaked along the shoelace and made it's way to the fluid-soaked padding, making the bomb explode right as the men passed over it. The blast was strong enough to throw the men in the air, but it didn't kill anyone. It simply made it easier for Mac to get the jump on them while they were disoriented.

A punch to the face took out two of the men, leaving three left. Something didn't feel right with MacGyver, but he pushed the feeling aside as he fought with the remaining men.

"I would never tell Jack this, but this is one of those times I could really use him," MacGyver thought to himself as he sidestepped a punch and delivered a blow to the man's kidneys. That persistent nagging feeling came back full force as the last man squared off with MacGyver, and Mac's eyes went wide as he realized why he had the feeling that something was wrong. There had been six men chasing him and Jack. He only saw five.

He had just realized this when he was attacked from behind. A piece of cloth was wrapped around his whole face and he breathed in instinctively as his hands shot up and tried to pry the offending fabric away from his face. A sickly sweet smell filled his nose and mouth, but he knew it wasn't chloroform. It took him a few seconds to recognize the smell, but he finally realized it was the starting fluid he had left in the shed. He knew starting fluid contained diethyl ether, which would account for the lightheadedness he was feeling at the moment.

He was released without warning, causing him to stumble forward, right into an awaiting fist. He fell to the ground, trying to squirm away from the advancing men but failing. They picked him up and threw them over one of their shoulders, then took off running. As Mac started to give into the blackness creeping in on the edge of his vision, he thought he heard Jack calling his name. He was unable to respond though, because the blackness engulfed his vision completely, and he gave into the beckoning darkness.

Bum bum bum... JK, I dunno if you guys want me to keep going? Or if I should just finish the story for myself and not post anymore? I wasn't sure how people would react to it. Lemme know!

Did you catch the thing from the original series? DISCLAIMER I DON'T KNOW IF IT ACTUALLY WORKS SO DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS (or anyone really...probs not the best idea...)

Also. Since it's a reboot and hasn't had very many episodes, I'm still trying to get a feel for the characters, so if anyone is OOC, that is why.
