Chapter 1

Chuin Master of Sinanju Emeritis was not happy. It seemed the House of Sinanju had competition as the leading assassins in the world. A new house of assassins was slowly gaining a reputation to challenge his own house. It was time he had a talk with the ungrateful wretch he called a son.

“ Remo!”

Remo Williams knew that tone. Chuin was upset. The last time Chuin sounded this upset was when the TV station preempted his soap operas to report on the latest senseless restaurant shooting. Who knew what had sent Chuin off on this tangent. “What is it Little Father? Did Smitty’s payment get hijacked by the idiot in Pyongyang again?”

“Of course not, he knows better. The problem is that The House of Sinanju itself is threatened! Some upstart amateur assassin is running around taking our business, and doing it for free!”

Now Remo understood Chuin’s upset. Killing people without getting paid was blasphemy of the highest order. “Little Father, it’s not like we can’t afford a little competition.”

“Aiieeee! Remo, such is not worthy of the Reigning Master of Sinanju. If we allow some upstart to move in on our business we will soon have to send the babies home to the sea for lack of food.”

“Come on Chuin, that was centuries ago. The treasure house back in Sinanju is bursting at the seams from you gouging Smitty for the last 40 years. Those flat faced fat lazy villagers will not starve for the next millennium.”

The old man wrung his hands “Think about your poor aged father Remo, do you want history to remember me as Chuin the Addled- who raised a pale piece of pig’s ear from the filth of the West to the most honored level of Master of Sinanju only to have his beloved adopted son betray him by allowing the village to starve, while the reputation of the House of Sinanju was trampled by some upstart amateur.”

“Okay, okay save it. Just save it. I will see what I can find out.”

“Oh Remo on your way out, could you take out the garbage? It’s by the front door.”

“Who did you kill this time Little Father?”

“Me? I killed no one. I’m simply an old man who wished to protect his peace from this Clearinghouse of Publishers person who claimed to have a check for me. The House of Sinanju does not accept checks!”

Remo sighed as he headed to the door with a body bag.

***

Kai had sighed as the man’s body slumped to the ground. Ever since Stanley got that new security job it seemed that he was killing someone at least once a week to protect Stanley. It was time for a talk.

“Stanley, we need to talk” Kai said entering the living room of the home that he, Stanley and Xev had recently purchased in upstate New York. “Stanley you seem to be in constant trouble. I no sooner enter the cryopod than I have to come get you out of trouble. My supply of protoblood is not unlimited. At the rate that I am using it, I will run out in a little over a year.”

The ringing of the telephone saved Stanley from replying. Stan answered it and gave a couple of okays and yes sirs to the person on the other end. “Hey guys I have to go to work. The director of the sanitarium needs me in his office right away.”

***

Remo Williams sat on the edge of the Director of Folcroft Santarium’s, desk. “So you aren’t replacing us? You might want to let Chuin know that. He’s pretty bent out of shape Smitty. Going on about the reputation of the House of Sinanju.” Remo said.

“I assure you Remo your job is secure. Tweedle works with a partner, but his partner never shows his face.” Smitty looked up as his new secretary, Ruby Jackson Gonzalez opened the door to let in Stanley Tweedle.

“Ah here is Mr Tweedle now. Come in Stanley, take a seat.”

Stanley looked at the man sitting on the corner of Harold Smith’s desk. The guy was as average looking as you could get except for the thick wrists. But it was the eyes Stanley noticed. They reminded him of Kai’s eyes, dead.

Stanley Tweedle meet Remo Williams, Reigning Master of Sinanju. Remo, Stanley Tweedle.” Smitty said introducing them.

“So you are the one causing the big stink. I should warn you that the Master Emeritus thinks you’re horning in on the family business and giving assassins a bad name, you want to be careful that you don’t cross Chuin’s path. I’m getting pretty tired of cleaning up after him.”

“Whoa I’m not an assassin. I only work for Mr Smith because he has been helping me to try to find a way to help my friend. My friend is the assassin.”

“Ah yes the protoblood issue. The computer is working on analyzing it. The analysis is about 74% complete. Once it has been analyzed the computer will attempt to replicate the composition. I’m hopeful that we will be able to supply your friend with what he needs.” Harold Smith added.

“So where is this friend? I’d like to meet him, one assassin to another.” Remo asked.

“Um well that might be a bit difficult. The last I saw of him he was headed to the freezer.”

“The freezer?”

“Yes it seems his friend must freeze himself to prolong his life.” Smith interjected.

“Actually to conserve his protoblood, he’s dead.” Stanley explained.

“Wait are you telling me our competition is dead?” Remo asked.

“Yes he’s been dead for about 6000 years. That’s why he needs protoblood. Right now he’s kind of alive dead, but if we can’t find out how to make more protoblood for him he will just be dead dead.”

“I’d like to meet this alive dead assassin. We might just have more in common than I thought.” Remo noted.

***

“You’d better wait here while I wake him up. It will give me a chance to explain why you are here.” Stanley said to Remo who had insisted on accompanying him home to meet Kai.

“Hi Stan. Who is your friend?” Xev said immediately feeling her libido rising. “Hello, I’m Xev.”

Remo sighed as he smelled the arousal coming from her. There was a time when he would have loved women just throwing themselves at him left and right but that was before Chuin started teaching him about Sinanju's 52 steps to sexual fulfillment. Now he mostly just wanted to be left alone. The woman stopped just shy of rubbing her ample ‘charms’ against his body.

“Remo this is Xev. Pay no attention to her throwing herself at you. She throws herself at everyone except me. She’s a love slave.”

“A love slave?” Remo questioned.

“Yes I’m programmed for pleasure.” she purred.

“Well then, lets see if this will settle you down.” Remo said grabbing Xev’s left wrist he began tapping on the pulse point and in a matter of seconds Xev had collapsed to the floor with a sated look on her slack face.

“Hey what did you do to Xev?” Stan said hurrying over to her.

“She’s fine. I just introduced her to step one of the 52 steps to bring a woman pleasure. The last thing I want or need is another woman throwing herself at me. I’m much more interested in your dead assassin friend. I need to talk to him before Chuin finds out about him. I’d like to stave off a major rivalry here before it begins.”

“I’ll go get Kai.” Stan said glancing once again at the goofy smile on Xev’s face before turning to leave the room and running into Kai who had been awakened by 790. “Kai I was just coming to get you..”

Kai and Remo were staring at each other across the room. The two assassins were obviously sizing each other up. The two slowly approached and circled each other.

“No heartbeat.” Remo noted.

“I no longer possess a heart to beat. Your breathing pattern is not normal, it is slower and deeper than most humans.” Kai replied.

“The proper breathing technique of Sinanju.” Remo advised him. “So you are dead?”

“Yes for the past 6000 years.”

“And you are an assassin?”

“I am a Divine Assassin.”

“You aren’t human.”

“I was before my body was turned into a killing machine by the Divine Order.”

“Tell me about it, I was human too before I was turned into a killing machine by the retired Master of Sinanju. You and I have some things to talk about like your abilities. I think that perhaps instead of a rivalry, we can work together.”

“What do you mean work together? I retain my abilities but I no longer kill except to protect my friends Stanley and Xev.” Kai now noticed Xev still sitting on the floor smiling happily.

“She’s fine, she made a pass at me and I wasn’t interested so I just introduced her to step one of the 52 steps to sexual ecstasy. She’ll recover in an hour or so.” Remo told him.

“This is the quietest she has ever been around a man, excluding Stanley. Her libido is elevated so she attempts to have sex with every man she comes across. Is it possible to teach this technique to someone else? There are times when she tests even my patience throwing herself at me.”

“Wow she really does have an elevated libido, usually a man has to have a pulse.” Remo said.

“Xev does not care as long as the man in question is not Stanley Tweedle.”

“Speaking of Stanley Tweedle, I guess you didn’t know he’s been pimping you out to CURE? You’ve been assassinating quite a few people lately. It’s why you came to the attention of my ‘father’ Chuin, Master Emeritus of the House of Sinanju.”

“Pimping me out?” Kai questioned.

“Yeah he’s been setting people up and you’ve been killing them on the orders of Harold Smith, the head of CURE. But in Stanley’s defense, he’s got Smitty working on figuring out how to create protoblood for you. If there’s a way to do it then Smitty will find it.”

“So this is your new security job Stanley?” Kai questioned darkly.

“Actually I do work security at the sanitarium but I stumbled on to the computer in the basement. I realized that it was way advanced for this world and took a sample of protoblood in one night and set the computer the task of analyzing it. I know what you have won’t last forever. Mr Smith found out about it and started questioning me about you and when I told him he agreed to continue processing the sample to try to find a way to replicate protoblood if I would get you to kill a few people. They are all really bad people Kai. Murderers, rapists, child molesters and Mr Smith did not want to bother his high level assassins with routine assignments.”

“You can trust Smitty. I’ve worked for him for decades and Tweedle is right, if Smitty is sending you after someone it’s because they are highly dangerous and they have managed to slip through loopholes in the justice system. For now I’d like to see your skills Kai, compare them to mine.”

***

Chuin had managed to keep Remo away from the scrolls by convincing him that they were nothing more than Ung poetry which Remo hated with a passion. The old man rummaged around in the trunk until he found the scroll that contained the writings of the Great Master Wang. After hearing about the meeting between Remo and this Stanley Tweedle from Emperor Smith, he needed to refresh his memory on the prophecy of the night tiger, the other night tiger.

Remo was the first, the dead night tiger that was made whole again by the Sun Source of all martial arts, Sinanju. That prophecy had been filled many years ago and when Remo came back from the dead, he had brought something with him-the ancient Hindu god Shiva. Remo was Shiva’s avatar which came in handy at times. But now it looked like the second night tiger had appeared.

“The greatest of Masters comes from the West, The dead white night tiger made whole again by the sun source. He is matched only by the second night tiger; the one that comes from beyond the void, the black night tiger that can never be made whole again. The tigers must choose, to ally themselves, or to destroy each other.”

Chuin was worried. Remo had gone off with this Stanley Tweedle person to meet Kai. This new assassin that Chuin feared was the second night tiger foretold of in the prophecy. If this was the case, his son was in trouble. This Kai could choose to kill Remo leaving the House of Sinanju without a reigning Master for the first time since it was created.

Remo’s son was nowhere near close enough to being old enough to fill the duties of Master. While his daughter could probably handle the duties, being female made her unacceptable. Then there was Sunny Joe, he would certainly take the duties seriously but he was not a master. Chuin would simply have to be sure that the choice was alliance and not destruction.
