Task Force HAMMER: The Underside #0.1 - American Samurai
Merc-Works Gym, Brooklyn, New York
The woman dressed in a silver tracksuit and tank top blocked the slash, as her armoured opponent cut towards her with his katana. Countering she forced his counter block back, until they both separated and bowed.
"You are improving Colleen." The armoured figure announced as he sheathed his katana. "You will soon surpass me in skill."
"But not humility Master." Colleen answered. "You seem troubled today."
"My mind is uneasy, for the first time since I came to this country. I am a wholly American Samurai, but I am also a Ronin, I have no Master save for my own mind."
"What troubles you?" Colleen asked.
"A man with an eye patch came to my home with a file, one that detailed my life in Japan." The American Samurai stated. "And my past connection to the Hand. He is willing to release it if I don't do as he says."
"Did you get a name?" Colleen asked.
"Yes," The Samurai answered, "He told me to call him master. And I must do as my master says."
"You don't have to do this." Colleen gasped.
"I must." The Samurai sighed. "My honour and my sword are now owned by the man called Fury."
