The Next Day A Student Graduates while elsewhere Abby Kahn makes a threat to the DA of Colorado… While in Chicago the Barroness makes a move of her own to acquire her pawn…

The next morning as dawn quickly approaches as Amanda got out of the taxi… you can leave kind sir…. are you sure you know we don’t get good… I will be ok I call this my second home as Miss Jones turned away remembering a time when Lori and Morgana brought her here in her mind…

(Flashbacking to the past)

Mrs Freeman what is this place as Amanda seen women warriors and monks taking care of the grounds as a woman spoke Ahhh this must be Miss Jones I heard about… Boss what is going on as Lori spoke Miss Satori we talked to Amari Rio over the phone in new york and she told us about you and your style thinking you can help our little lamb here as Miss Jones spoke how did you get paradise here… here in the…. Desert my young child come closer don’t worry you cant harm little old me as Amanda spoke Misss Sat…. SLLLLLLLAPPPP… ow what gives I know your soul is tainted you corrupted it with drugs and booze did you not…. Miss…. SLLLLLLLLAPPP again… yes as Morgana and Lori watched on seeing Tao Satori slapping lightly stinging Amanda’s face I… I fucked up is that what you want to hear… what are you planning to do about it Tao spoke gently… I need help no matter where I turn my demons… Wing Chun isnt for your demons… demons don’t fight for you… you must find your balance…. Please that is what I am here for help me... very well I will help you but you will live on these grounds, live in the clothing I give and provide for you, instruct you for you will call me sensei do you understand pigeon… Yes sensei kneeling in defeat as Tao spoke in a whisper as memories came to an end as Amanda seen the big wooden door open to her seeing her sensei standing there….

Sensei…. Raven my dear child come walk with me as Amanda knew twice to disobey… so I heard from Lori and Morgana you… Before you say Wing Chun isn't for fighting Sensei my family the ones who saved my life their children even though are adults… you protected them like they protected you all those years ago why…. Sensei the Bastille's and Hilton clans took me in let me help raise Sally Jane and in return she allowed me to serve her young… so you latched on to them like a family Raven… I… I did making Amanda smile admitting it finally…

The elderly woman spoke when you first came here I thought you were a lost hope, but I took you in and in that time you have shown promise, do you remember your third night here… I… I protected a fellow sister as good as I could Amanda spoke back… why did you Tao spoke… she was bullied… it was a test I was testing you to see if you would let a younger sister of the cloth get a beat down knowing you would be able to handle the beat down yourself…

Sensei, how did you know… I didn’t she smiled but in that instance you deserved to be trained and now look at you tell me have you… only wine with meals but nothing more than one glass per meal Sensei making Tao smile you know why I called you Raven now than pigeon… no Sensei Amanda spoke… when you came here you were a baby pigeon broken with no style to call thy own but as time and my teachings you grew from the sacred pigeon to a powerful bird your sisters began whispers of a mighty Raven, so it stuck Raven, and now you earned that title Tao smiled handing her a cup of herbal tea…

You are upset about the fight…. Nonsense my child my pupil you did the right thing… right thing I sent three guys to the… they are lucky to live yes our style isnt about killing it is about finding balance between life or death no one can escape that fate including those who are immortal Tao spoke but also will know to that they will think twice about hitting upon strangers, making Amanda smile… I summoned you here because you are ready… Ready, I don’t follow Sensei, I still have a lot to learn…. Learn funny you should say that you excelled my pupil, I am returning home to retire…. What about the ladies here in your home, Tao smiled as she clapped her hands seeing a small but stature young Japanese woman walk in with Red and white Gi… you summoned me High Priestess as Miss Jones spoke Shesumi is that…. AMANDA oh my as her friend she once protected her hugged her…

SHESUMI, AMANDA STOP THAT AT ONCE… both spoke Sorry Sensei freezing in tracks as Tao smiled back see I left the students in good hands Miss Jones your friend Shesumi will take thy place as High Priestess of Satori School of Wing Chun U.S. branch… so will I now report to her to finish my training… NO you are finished my dear but feel free to call this place your home now… but I still have lots to… learn yes, so you say but on your own merits…

Shesumi smiled I told High Priestess that if I took over as Sensei I needed her brightest pupil…. wait what about my dealings with the Freemans… you never let me finish Shesumi spoke I want you to be a rotational instructor when I require you to come in as Amanda was a loss for words….

Elsewhere in Downtown Chicago a lone woman coming from the library thank god professor Jenkins allowed me to redo my homework as another shadow began whistling as Evelyn St. Johns walked down the dimly lit streets towards the bus depot as the shadow moved closer and closer as he spoke in a faint whisper…

DON’T MAKE A SOUND MISSY dragging Evelyn into the alley way producing a knife holding her mouth shut with his hand I will let my hand go if you don’t scream do you understand me as Evelyn nodded… I want your purse… your money….any jewelry as the man spoke using his switchblade to cut buttons off her blouse please don’t hurt me I’ll give you what you… when the shadow began to move around them both….

WHO'S THERE…. as dead silence haunt the two I MEAN IT I WILL CUT THIS SLUT UP…when a female thigh and heel came from the shadows kicking the knife from hand as a hit from his forearm made his grip weak allowing Evelyn to wiggle free as she fixed her sights to see a tall woman in black in a flurry of moves punch, kick and jabbed into the strong-armed man as she spoke go I will handle this… who are you Evelyn spoke… A friend of your father's tell you more later now go get out of here as Evelyn ran holding her blouse in the pouring rain leaving her belongings…

MMMMMMM now that the lamb is gone gripping the man’s throat with ease…. I did what you asked of me…. MMMMM that you did Baroness spoke…. you paid me to scare her into your arms…. MMMMM I did didn’t I…. Now I want my other half… As you desire as the man began to screamed as thunder and lighting clashed against his screams as Barroness snapped his neck like a twig dropping the man like dead weight as she picked up his knife So Sad you failed in your mission chucking the blade deep into his skull walking to find Miss St. John’s purse smiling while scanning at the address MMMMM got you little lamb picking up the pieces and disappearing well into the night as the rats began to feast upon the man’s corpse well into the night…

Elsewhere in Colorado as Dani and Savannah Nichols followed Abby Kahn walked in unison where is the DA as the older woman spoke in his office nervously as Dani, Savannah followed Abby’s lead WHAT IS THE MEANING OF… you gave me your word as Abby lifted the man off the ground you better hope that my client will be… Do you want to join her Miss Kahn DA Collins spoke we cant cater to your… as Abby hissed as Dani and Savannah spoke calm yourself dear as Miss Khan spoke you better hope to god that nothing happens to Miss Williams so help whatever god you hold dear… you don’t scare…. I should have but I do so much better in court cases in the likes you never seen before as I will have your ass in ligations for years even your own mother's great-great-grandmother cant get you out of do you understand me as Savannah spoke trust us dear you don’t want to cross her as Mr. Collins spoke if all killers begged for solitary confinement then what…

Abby pushed him back against his leather seat storming out of the offices as Dani spoke you are so lucky but you might want to make a phone call pronto as Mr. Collins smelled his urine picking up his phone dialing a number…

Back in Vegas, Amanda walked out of her barrowed room as stars shot across the night sky as lit lanterns lit the path as she walked in her own Red and white Gi as sisters matching her attire stood in line as for High Preistess and her understudy Shesumi smiled on as Amanda Jones knelt down in traditional fashion as Tao began speaking fluent Japanese as Shesumi spoke To my pupil Amanda Jones you came to us as a broken bird but reborn as a fighting and honorable warrior… Tao spoke again as Shesumi picked up for you are student of Satori School of Wing Chun take the teachings I taught you apply them to your life and live for the future look around you your sisters are proud of you as Tao Satori handed Shesumi a box to hand to her fellow sister…

These are yours handing Amanda a black bamboo box as she opened them to reveal two decorative swords one long, one short bladed and a scroll looking up as Tao spoke in English the swords represent your will and determination the scroll is the knowledge of your journey congratulations on completing your journey Raven sister of the Satori sisterhood take thy teachings and pass them on….

I will not fail you sensei… you never have my dear as others began traditional dances well into the night as Shesumi and Mandy watched on as fireworks shot across the skies as Dancer danced around them in traditional Japanese garbs and sounds making Amanda sigh getting her clan sisters attention... What Troubles you Sister Shesumi spoke...

Amanda spoke back I wonder why didn’t Lori and Morgana didn’t come you know if it wasn’t for them I…. All of our students go through this ceremony alone sister it is the only way we grow and learn to achieve a higher being yes they did bring you here but didn’t hold your hand as you train did they not as Amanda spoke you are right sister smiling if you need me you know how to find me… I never lost sight of you to begin with Mandy, just waited for you to come home…

As Tao Satori watched on as the two joined their sisters in the festivities well into the night as she watched her students young and old partied the night away in a sea of red and white gi’s well while the lanterns dimmed the camera into black…
