Synopsis for "Demon With a Crass Hand"
Elektra and Wolverine stand face to face in the hallway of the American Japanese Institute, with Keli Saga cowering behind the latter. In an instant, the two warriors dive forward, only to clasp hands and reveal the bond forged through the classic mantra, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". They leave Mrs. Saga safely stored in her panic room before heading towards the Hand's real goal: the demon mask.
Kitty dashes down the hall holding the mask in question and phasing through the blades of her assailants. She turns the corner and runs into the previously mentioned duo who quickly dispatch the girl's attackers. Meanwhile, Daredevil goes toe to toe with Akuma, current high one of the Hand.
Sarah awaits Kitty's return outside the building when, suddenly, an explosion rocks the street. Soon after, Kitty emerges, having been the target of said explosion, and tries to help her friend to safety. Daredevil is then thrown through a window, and Akuma quickly follows through to end his foe. Elektra takes him out just in time, but unbeknownst to our heroes, the demon mask's whispers become too much for young Sarah.
As Wolverine cries out, Sarah dons the mask on what happens to be a full moon, revealing the mask's true purpose of summoning the demon Shinigami. Having stolen Sarah's body from her, the creature prepares to enact his violent desires on the group, starting with Akuma. After a brief and one-sided battle, Wolverine prepares to end Shinigami's, and subsequently Sarah's, life, but Kitty begs for him to hold back. At just the right moment, she is able to phase a punch through the demon's head, separating the mask's from its skull and saving Sarah. The young girl awakes a few minutes later and is spun the tale of a gas line explosion to explain the building's destruction and minor head trauma she received.
