Rebirth of Artemis

Issue 4 - The Chaste

Terra woke up in the morning. To see her armor still beside her. Stick was walking past everyone's beds to make sure they were awake.

Stick: Where'd that armor come from kid?

Terra: Late night adventure. I was allowed! Ask Sae. Don't worry. It's too help your cause.

Stick: Our cause. Put it on.

Stick kept walking. He dragged the unfortunate still sleeping students out of bed.

Stick: We'll be running our first mission today. This is the first mission for most of you.

This was indeed Terra's first mission. She was more skilled than most people there. More because it had been five years up and coming.

Stick: Terra, Fenix and Mina. You're all ready for your first mission. And Sae. You're coming too. We're going to New York. Everyone else. You will all stay here. I have another master who will show as soon as I leave.

Mina: New York? That's a long way!

Stick: Any problems?

Mina: No. Not at all!

Stick: Sae. You're driving.

Sae: Master Stick. A moment of your time please?

Stick: What is it?

Sae: Terra. She plans to leave one day. To attack the MFI on her own terms. I must ask, shall we help her?

Stick: What was that?

Sae: The Chaste could be the only ones left in the White Mountains. We could own it.

Stick: No. The MFI is none of our business. Unless you made it your business. I can smell the blood off of you. The soldiers had knives, and their gear...It was MFI. Don't fuck with them. If you do again. You know what happens. And Terra will show me where her loyalty lies today.

Sae: Yes master.

Fenix came over to Terra.

Fenix: First mission. You worried?

Terra: Kind of. I'm not even worried about who we'll fight. I'm worried about Stick's expectations.

Fenix: Aren't we all? Don't worry. You'll do good. Plus, that armor looks good on you.

Hours of driving later.

Sae stopped in an alley and got out. Along with everyone. Someone else was watching everyone move in from the rooftops. Stick stopped and looked back.

Sae: What is it?

Stick: Nothing important.

Sae: Take the vent?

Stick: Don't get ahead of yourself.

Stick and everyone else jumped into an air vent on the side of the building. It was a large building. Stick, with his superior hearing, led everyone right above a group of people.

Stick: Remember the plan. Lure him in.

Stick grabbed the vent under him and fell into the main area and cut off a hand soldiers head.

Stick: Aim for the head! They'll come back if you don't!

Fenix hit a ninja on a neck pressure point which killed him. Sae took on about three ninjas at the same time and traded some blows. She cut one of their heads off then was kicked away by one of them. The two that were left went to stab her right through the heart. Sae threw a bunch of Kunai into their necks.
