A/N: So I've been a little lazy in getting this update released. I know you guys like The Jade Dragon story, however I will be putting that on hiatus for now. The reason is because I have no idea where the story will be going. If anyone wants to help let me know. You will get recognition for it. Otherwise, it will be a couple weeks before I decide the direction that story is going, or if I continue it. This one will still be getting updates. With that out of the way, I don't own DC or CW and let's get on to this story.
Oliver, Talia, Nyssa, Sara, and Emiko were sitting on the couch eating breakfast and watching the news for anything interesting that might help them peaceful silence was broken with a knock on the door. The five of them looked at each other wondering who it could be. They had told the other league members to leave them for now and that they would call when they needed them. "I'm going to go check out who it is and how they found us." Oliver said as the person knocked again. Oliver got up off the couch and grabbed a knife nearby before walking to the door. He slowly opened the door as the four women also grabbed weapons in order to be ready. Once the door was opened, he saw a woman looking back at him. She was wearing a white mask with a red dot over one eye. She had deep black hair and was about a head shorter than him. She had a katana strapped onto her back. Oliver realized the Tatsu was standing right in front of him. Before Oliver could ask who she was, Tatsu spoke up.
"So you're the one who has the totem. My name is Tatsu Yamashiro, wielder of the sword totem. I felt you arrive due to the connection the totem wielders have. May I step in and we can talk about what is going to happen?" Tatsu asked Oliver, wanting to know why he was here in Beijing.
"Sure, come on in. My name is Oliver Queen. You can meet the others once we are all seated for the talk. Tatsu followed Oliver into the room and noticed all the weapons along one side and the big sparring mat. She saw the four women sitting on couches, each armed with a knife. She noticed Emiko and remembered her from around Beijing and wondered who she was. "First thing, do you know about the league of assassins?" Oliver asked Tatsu as she nodded, having heard of them from some of the stories her mother told her of her adventures with the sword totem. "We are from the league of assassins. We are here to clear out the Triad from Beijing and keep a former league member from gaining control. We will be here for another week or two before taking them on. Anything else you want to know?" Oliver finished up, stating their purpose for being here knowing she wouldn't stop them from doing anything.
"I would like to help. I want to make this city safer for my child and husband. You will also need my help as I already know where the main headquarters for the Triad are. I have already had them try to recruit me into their gang." Tatsu said, wanting to help her child. Talia decided that it was her turn to speak up.
"What do you know about the Triad that could help us. Emiko here already knows where the main headquarters are located due to her being a spy for us." Talia said, pointing to Emiko.
"I can help you take care of the others in the building. I am one of the best swordswomen and have immortality like Oliver due to the totem. What totem do you have anyways Oliver?" Tatsu asked, wanting to know which one he had.
"I have the arrow totem. I am one of the best archers in the world. Now I'm going to meet a friend that will help us out. We want their help for range support. We got the close support covered as you can see. Why don't you get to know Sara and Nyssa while Emiko, Talia, and I go get them." Oliver said as Tatsu accepted the deal and went to sit by the two women.
Mei opened the door after hearing some knocking on her door. Her father and sister were out doing some shopping for food for the week. Looking out the door she saw three people. She recognized Emiko as an old friend of Shado's. The two of them were really close before Emiko moved away. Emiko spoke up and surprised Oliver with what she said. "Hello Emiko it's good to see you again. Is Shado home? I want her to meet my newly found half brother and his girlfriend." Emiko told Mei. Mei was surprised as she thought Emiko was an only child. Mei had heard mentions of Oliver from Shado and Yao Fei from their time on that damn Island.
"Shado isn't here right now, but you can wait here for now. They should get back soon. They went out to get groceries." Mei said as she invited them in. She led into the living room and started to catch up with Emiko.
Shado walked into her home with her father. She heard voices talking in english and wondered who Mei was talking to. She walked into the living room and got a major surprise. Sitting next to her sister was her best friend Emiko Adachi. She was shocked before realizing there were other people in the room as. Oliver and another woman were sitting on the other couch in the room. "Emiko it's so nice to see you again." Shado said, moving over to hug her old friend. "Hello to you to Oliver. Did you come over with Emiko?" She questioned Oliver.
"Emiko is my half sister. I met her in the league. I had no idea I even had another half sister and no idea she was your friend." Oliver said, explaining how he knew her. "Anyways, this is my girlfriend Talia, we are here because we want your help with a league issue. We could use your help in taking out the Triad and providing a distraction for our getaway. Will you and your father help us?" Oliver asked.
"I will help since you got us off that damn island. You will have to ask our father first as well." Shado said.
"No need for that. I will help you out." Yao Fei said, stepping into the room. He had caught the end of the conversation and wanted to help. He looked at Emiko and said, "It's nice to see you again Emiko. Shado missed you so much. She wouldn't talk for a week when you left." Shado blushed as Emiko looked at her in curiosity wondering if Shado felt the same thing she did. She decided to put that at the back of her mind and ask after the mission before they leave again.
Oliver, Talia, and Emiko walked into their safe house to the sound of metal clashing on metal. Tatsu and Nyssa were sparring with swords on the mat. Sara was sitting down drinking some water and watching them. Sara saw the three enter and motoined them over. When they got over Sara spoke up. "Tatsu really is good with a sword. She managed to beat me, but swords aren't my strong suit. We decided the best way to get to know each other was through fighting. Tatsu told us she had to get back to her home tonight. She left us her number for us to call when we are ready to attack the meeting. As they were talking the fight was still going on. Nyssa went for a slice across Tatsu's stomach, but was deflected by Tatsu. Nyssa spun around to gain some momentum as Tatsu saw an opening and went for it. The two ended up stopping their swords right before they hit their opponent.
"Looks like I won Nyssa." Tatsu said, nodding towards the sword at Nyssa's neck. She then realized something was wrong when she felt something sharp push against her gut.
"Looks like a draw to me. You fight very well. You must be a wonderful person." Nyssa said, complementing the older woman. "We have to do this again. It was fun sparring with you." Nyssa finished
"Thank you, it was fun fighting both of you. It's been a while since my skills have been heavily tested. You two fight really well although there are some improvements you can do Sara to improve. I have to go back now. My son should be getting home from school soon. I will be there when you need me." Tatsu said before seeing the other three standing next to Sara. "I will help you guys out. I know that Komodo is after you and he is not a very good person from what I have heard from the underground." Tatsu said before walking out of the house and heading back to her home.
Oliver, Talia, Nyssa, Sara, Emiko, Tatsu, Shado, and Yao Fei were standing on top of a building overlooking a six story building. They knew the building was filled with ninth circle members and Triad thugs. At the top of the building there was a meeting taking place with Akilah, Komodo, China White, and other top Triad members. "You guys know the plan. We will rendezvous on the 5th floor before going in and taking care of the others. Shado and Yao Fei will get any stragglers that try to escape our wrath. This will deal a crippling blow to the Triad and the NInth Circle. Let's get moving." Oliver said as five of them jumped down and Shado and Yao Fei moved to vantage points to catch anyone trying to leave the building.
Oliver and Talia moved as one clearing out the entrance to the building and surprising everyone inside. Sara and Nyssa moved in behind and went to another area inside the first floor. Tatsu finally moved in, killing any people left alive. They were moving easily as the Triad members proved no challenge and the ninth circle members only provided some difficulty. As the five were clearing out the building, yelling was heard from the Triad members trying to get some organization for the intruders of their building. Shado and Yao Fei had already killed a few members of the Triad trying to escape their punishment for their crimes.
When the gunfire started, the people at the top of the building stopped their meeting. Akilah, China, and Komodo barricaded the doors leading into the room to keep anyone from heading in. This proved fruitless as a grenade went off blowing a door to smithereens. Akilah, Komdo, and China drew their swords and moved to cut off the intruders. The other Triad leaders tried to escape the building by going to the roof and climbing down an escape ladder. They were killed by Shado and Yao Fei who shot them with precision, killing them instantly. Meanwhile, Talia, Oliver, and Emiko and rushed to the top of the building trying to get to the leaders.
Emiko was intercepted by Akilah as Akilah recognized her. "So you've decided to betray me to our enemies. Even after I took you in and trained you to be the best you could." Akilah said and attacked Emiko before she could respond. Emiko did her best but could only stay on defense.
While Akilah and Emiko were fighting another fight between Oliver and Komodo had started. "So you're the son of Robert Queen. I must say that you are definitely different than when I last saw you in the pictures Robert showed me. I hope he suffered as the boat went down. I was the one who planted the bombs you know." Komodo said as they were fighting trying to get a rise out of Oliver. Oliver responded by pushing himself harder, noticing the fight between Talia and China was going really well for Talia. He was distracted when he heard Emiko cry out as she was cut in the stomach by Akilah. While Oliver was distracted, Komdo tried to go for an opening. Oliver just barely managed to deflect and stabbed Komodo in the chest ending their battle. At the same time, Talia killed China by slicing her neck with a knife that Talia brought out in secret. Akilah noticed that her teammates had lost and threw two smoke bombs down. By the time that Oliver, Talia, and Emiko had regained their bearings, Akilah had disappeared along with Komodo's body. Shado and Yao Fei were unable to do anything as a helicopter had picked up Akilah and flew off into the distance.
