New Gods: Wang Jing Reborn (Courkong Story) [INDEFINITE HIATUS]

Chapter Five

~Back to the Masked Man and Courtney~

"It's my lucky day! Drink with me!" The Masked Man laughs, holding a up a bottle of alcohol. "No thanks, I don't really drink.." Courtney just replied nervously. She looks down at her necklace, realizing it was similar to the one she heard about in the Wang Jing stories. "Uh, I don't know if you'll know anything about this, but this necklace, that guy wanted it.. Any reason why?" The Masked Man looked down at her to see the necklace in question, "Well, that may be because that very necklace belonged to Wang Jing! I'm surprised it's in that great condition!" 

Courtney looks at the necklace again, wondering how this family heirloom even came into her families possession if it used to belong to a goddess. She shook her head, she'll try figuring that out later. "Well, than how about my sudden distrust in that guy? My instincts told myself to stay away and get away from him.." She asked, wondering what the Masked Man's answer would be to that. "Well, that was your primordial spirit. You're the reincarnation of Wang Jing!" He exclaimed, making his way back down to where she was. 

"Ah, Wang Jing always had a way of detecting threats like that. Not even you can control it!" He laughs again. Courtney just pauses, "Just like how I definitely don't trust this Helena, even though all I have to go off of about her are what you told me?" He laughs again, "See what I mean?" 

He looks off to the side, "Oh! Full disclosure, even I'm scared."

"So if I'm Wang Jing, then who are you?" Courtney asked, hoping to get more answers out of him. 

"Me? Oh, sorry, hun, I am not going to tell you that." He laughs yet again.

~With Helena and Vito~ 

"This reincarnation is especially powerful. We can not provoke her." Tatum states, her back turned to Vito now. "Without my revenge, what kind of Demon Prince am I?" Vito asked, angrily. "Quiet!" Tatum yells, turning her head to look over at him. She just sighs, "Now leave me."

Vito hesitates, but eventually does leave the room as Tatum told him too. "I don't have the Dragon Pearl. I can't yet face him myself. But in the mean time, I'll hire someone who can."

~With The Masked Man and Courtney~

"As you can see, the pillars of heaven are collapsing." Courtney could hear the Masked Man talking to himself as she was about to leave. "My powers.. Uncontrollable?" She asks herself. She scoffs a bit, "We'll see about that." She said, beginning to walk back to her home. 

~Later that night, in the Masked Man's home~

A suitcase is placed on the table in front of the Masked Man, one of the various tiny monkeys climbing it to inspect it. Before the little monkey could open it however, a hand close it back. The Masked Man's hand. 

"You want me to kill again?"

"My old friend, you've done excellent work before. Don't act so surprised." Tatum answered, walking over to him. She looks over at some spare parts she noticed on a nearby table, "I recognize those parts." 

"Oh, yeah? I hope you don't mind, I figured since you have more androids than you could keep up with.." The Masked Man replied with. She just turns to look at him, "You saw it all."

"Ooh, yeah, I was passing by. I couldn't help but notice." The Masked Man explained, then asked, "She's just a kid, why is she so important to you?" As he was talking to Tatum, the tiny monkeys were looking in the suitcase, looking at all the gold inside. 

"If you really want her dead, there are plenty of assassins in Donghai a lot cheaper than me." He laughs, then Helena laughs herself before saying, " This girl is Wang Jing." The Masked Man slams the suit case closed, pause, before sighing, "Jezabeth. Sounds like you've got a problem, hmm?" 

"You expect me to believe you didn't know already." Tatum says, trying to intimidate him, but he wouldn't be intimidated so easily. "Ooh, lots of other people had similar powers to her, you know?" The Masked Man gasps, "Wait, if the girl really is Wang Jing, I don't stand a chance against her either." Another suitcase, most likely filled with more gold is placed on the table. 

"You conceal your identity nearly as well as your powers. I trust you have plenty of tricks up your sleeve." Tatum comments. "Oh, impressive, Jezabeth, you know a lot of things. But if you know so much, how come Wang Jing defeat you in every lifetime?" 

Helena just takes a deep breath before saying, "I'm sure you know that the Order of the Gods has been falling apart. Finally, a new order will arise from the old one. Help me now, and perhaps the Demon and Android Clan can help you later." She leaves a card on the table next to one of the suit cases before she leaves, chuckling, "Good bye, old friend."
