[b][color=ed1c24]"SAMURAI JACK."[/color][/b] a rapsy ominous voice booms revealing to be a large intimidating black figure over several stories tall. His entire body was covered in a black abyss, his white eyes being the only thing visible. Below him, two individuals stood below him as they look up in total surprise. Just recently were they confessing more feelings for one another, holding hands as they smiled at one another. Now that moment of calm and peace was ruined by the droning of the Evil Master Of Darkness known simply as... [b]"Aku!"[/b] the Samurai warrior responds defensively, his left hand on the sheath as he readies to take it out. The girl, once assassin now wonderer Ashi, looks up with her hands out to the side in awe as she breathes his name, [b][color=39b54a]"Aku..."[/color][/b] The Master Of Darkness appears into full view, revealing the face only a mother could love. Aku's face is reminiscent of a Japanese Mempo, or Samurai Mask, having a green mouth, and a red beard extending from the bottom of his chin. His eyebrows being made of two flickering flames and has six large horns extend from his head, three on each side. He has been the tyrannical nemesis for the Samurai for years at this stage and he hadn't encountered the seemingly ageless Samurai for over 50 years. [b][color=ed1c24]"IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG."[/color][/b] the Master Of Darkness continues, his raspy voice croaking as he spoke, [b][color=ed1c24]"FAR FAR TOO LONG."[/color][/b] He then shrugs his shoulders, [b][color=ed1c24]"BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY SAYING TO YOURSELF...[/color] [i]WHY? WHY NOW FOR OUR SUDDEN REUNION?[/i][color=ed1c24]"[/color][/b] He mocked Samurai Jack's voice as he imitated his speech, the soft-spoken yet intense combination which made up Jack's voice. The Samurai only stood still, only scowling as Aku proceeds to lie beside a fallen guardian, his arm resting on its head. He begins to issue a creepy grin. [b][color=ed1c24]"WEEEEEEEELL..."[/color][/b] he begins slowly, [b][color=ed1c24]"A LITTLE BIRDY TOLD ME..."[/color][/b] Then from behind the same guardian, robotic swerving can be heard as an android appears from behind the head. The Samurai's scowl frowned deeper as he recognized him. This android was the infamous Scaramouche the Merciless, one of Aku's top assassins. Before arriving here he had recently fought against Samurai Jack in a village her eradicated to get his attention. While he did succeed in getting his attention, he unfortunately was defeated and was forced to retreat with only his head. However, he was able to get to Aku's lair after days of traveling and told him the news... [color=teal]"...that Samurai Jack has lost the one thing in the entire universe that can destroy Aku!"[/color] He begins laughing profusely as Aku then laughs with him. During his initial confrontation, the android saw that Samurai Jack was without his sword, a magical sword as a matter of fact. It was one of the only weapons that can kill, let alone harm, the Master Of Darkness once and for all. Surely if he'd lost it, the Samurai will have no hope in finally killing the evil tyrant once and for all. Although the last time the android saw him, he was wearing armor and had a beard... and now he's in his traditional Samurai attire, the attire Jack is most famous for. But it didn't matter, as Aku begins to taunt the Samurai again. [b][color=ed1c24]"YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!"[/color][/b] the evil figure bellows as he unleashes it in front of his face. However, unknown to the two of them, Samurai Jack was actually able to get his sword back through a mental ritual that tested his patience and balanced his soul. So when he took out his sword, Aku gasped as he raised back in surprise. He then cracks his head towards Scaramouche as he glares at him disapprovingly. Did his top assassin lie to him? Was he luring him to a trap? Regardless, the android looked back in total fear as he realized what just happened. [color=teal][i]"B-But how?!"[/i][/color] Scaramouche thought to himself in sheer confusion, [color=teal][i]"How did he~ H-HOW?!"[/i][/color] He looks up at Aku as he shrugs his arms at him and attempts to explain himself. [color=teal]"Oh, but, master I~"[/color] But before he could finish, the last thing he sees is a bright beam of crimson light streaking towards his face. And then everything turns white. It appears as if the great Scaramouche was dead... [/hider] [hr] Silence followed for a few minutes before the android woke up, groaning as he rubbed his head... Wait. His head was still attached to his body? He thought he was dreaming at first, but only after he felt his head and neck and the ground below him did he realize... [color=teal]"I-I'm alive?"[/color] he speaks to himself. He then gets up, jumps and throws his arms into the air in glee. [color=teal]"I'M ALIVE, BABY!"[/color] He then touches the ground below him as he takes a look around him. Yet instead of being in the City Of Aku, he found himself in some unknown city, one that looked rather alien and unknown to him. He makes a confused look as he scratches his head. [color=teal][i]"H-Huh? W-Where am I?"[/i][/color] he speaks again in utter confusion, [color=teal][i]"What is this beep-ba-la-boop-bap-ala place?"[/i][/color] He continues to look around as he starts walking down the street in search of answers. [color=teal][i]"Oh well,[/i][/color] the android shrugs to himself, [color=teal][i]"Looks like I'll have to figure out where I am and to find a way to Scara-scooch my way back to Aku, babe."[/i][/color]
