Chapter 58 - M.D.B 58: The end of Chaste? (2/2)
”Elektra!” Matt shouted out a name, nervousness clear in his voice and on his face, and then he snatched the scarf he had just returned to Jessica from her hand.
Covering his face, he rushed out of the Dojo.
”Matthew!” Danny had no chance to stop him, and could only try to follow him. With that, only two of the four remained in the Dojo.
Saint began thinking. With the news he had just obtained, he could guess what had probably kept SHIELD from dealing with him; it must be that the Hand and Chaste have been against going each other in New York. With the battle he was sensing in the distance being so massive, today seemed to turn out to be the day of their decisive battle…
As he was lost in thoughts, Jessica Jones suddenly approached him, asking him in a cold tone: ”So, you're also a freak? What's your ability? A psychic?”
”…”
Saint looked at her strangely. To himself he said: 'Well, I know you've had a rough experience, but there's no need to be so rude! I didn't even provoke you, and you're saying I'm a freak? Not just that, a psychic? It's like you're telling me I'm a liar in the face…'
After some hesitation, he decided to ignore her. He was no psychiatrist; he couldn't deal with her or help her in anyway. If he was to try, she would block any attempt of his anyway….
After Saint made up his mind not to provoke Jessica, he ignored her again and turned around to Colleen saying: ”Are you thinking of joining the fun? With the Hand making such a big move, Bakuto might be there. I can't be sure however, as I'm not familiar with his Ki. Still, there are three powerful Ki over there…. It's very likely that one of them is stick. This means that there might be two Fingers of the Hand there!”
After some hesitation, Colleen gnashed her teeth and nodded: ”I'm going! If it's him, I cannot let him escape again!”
”If he's there indeed, you should be careful! He is your Sensei, and he is stronger than you. As he had already lost to Zanzoken before, he will be prepared!” Saint reminded her frowning, and then added: ”I did promise you I would not interfere with your own issues, but I will not stand here and watch you get hurt!”
”I will be victorious!” Colleen showed a firm look, took out two white Katana, and put on a white hood sweater and Ninja mask. Saint looked at her eyes that still showed, and could only murmur: ”I know you like white, but it's night time now! Couldn't you try to be a bit stealthier?”
