Chapter 1
Betrayal
Dear Journal you wouldn't believe the day I just had.
Rex angrily barged into the conference room and immediately opened video chat with White Knight.
What do you think you are doing asked Rex!
My job said White Knight.
Your job, YOUR JOB yesterday this guy tried to take over the world now he's employee of the month, you want to help people so much, get a new job before you get us killed said Rex!
After Rex left White picked up a phone and called Agent Six.
Six its White Knight Rex just became a liability keep an eye on him, and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid again said White Knight.
I'm on it said Six.
In the hangar Rex snuck aboard Dexter's Aero-ship and activated the controls.
I should hope you know better then to take what doesn't belong to you said Dexter.
If you know anything about what Providence has been doing then you know that they can no longer be trusted with nanites, of any kind said Rex.
They haven't done anything with them so far why now asked Dexter?
That was before they put Dr. Animo on the pay role said Rex.
Dexter, Intrigued, toke a moment to check a holographic list detailing recent Providence activity.
After you are done dumping the garbage in my Cargo hold I would kindly ask that you return it to me at Tech-Square in the mean time I have other issues to attend to said Dexter.
Dexter left the ship and Rex flew the ship out of the hangar and was immediately dogged by two Providence aero-ships.
Attention Dexlabs aero-ship land immediately or be fired on said the Aero-ship's pilots.
You idiots aren't stupid I'm flying over a heavily populated area shooting me down here would be suicide said Rex.
The Providence Aero-Ships fired on Rex.
Why don't they ever listen to reason asked Rex?
Rex put the Aero-Ship on auto pilot then walked out and flew to one aero ship on the boogie-pack.
Rex what are you doing asked a Providence pilot!
Rex used the BFS to cut off the ships thruster causing it careens out of control then Rex used the Punk Busters to jump from one ship to the other and take out a wing before switching to the Boogie-Pack and flew back to the ship he hijacked.
Providence Conference room
White Knight was speaking to Agent Six, Dr. Holiday, and Dr. Animo concerning Rex's hijacking of the Aero-Ship.
Rex is cutting over the suburbs and is making a beeline for the wilds if we shoot him down, we risk spreading the nanites we've collected all over those area's said Dr. Holiday.
I don't see the problem said Dr. Animo?
Your livelihood for one thing no nanites to experiment on no deal said Agent Six.
You misunderstand I've already completed my deal with you with ample justification said Dr. Animo.
Explain said White Knight with stern authority.
The Nanites I stole from you and used in my creation were completed; by me thus in the event they were to enter another living being and if one of those nanites activated… said Dr. Animo!
Then the creatures those nanites activated in would be transformed into another Rex said Dr. Holiday.
Stop him at all costs said White Knight.
Rex was flying over the Monkey foot hills when a Laser Turret shot the back thrusters off the aero-ship causing it to crash into the Dark-Lands all watched by Dexter on a Dexlabs satellite.
Computress, inform Providence that all their contracts with Dexlabs have been rendered Null and Void and that if they try to contact us they will receive a nasty surprise said Dexter.
Over the Dark-Lands
The aero-ship passed over Dinosaur pass and was watched by a man in white robes with a Chinese straw hat riding a dwarf Brontosaurus; Rex crashed into the Green Maw in sight of a of a massive dark looming castle before Rex slipped into unconsciousness; Rex awoke again with a woman tending over with him; the man from before walked into the tent and revealed his face to be that of Samurai Jack's.
How is he said Jack?
He doesn't look like you pulled him from a burning machine I'll give him that said the Woman.
He has an accelerated healing ability, intriguing said Jack?
Jack entered another tent and met up with Scotsman and Hoss Delgago.
I hope that Sissy little lad was worth it Jack considering the fact that you sacrificed a prime scouting opportunity to get em here said Scotsman.
True, but I sense greatness within the boy, much like my teachers who sensed such greatness within me and my father said Jack.
Greatness like Billy, I say we should use the brat as bait for more ghouls then walk in and gut them up said Hoss half sarcastically.
Inside the medical tent Rex awoke and walked out of the medical tent and began to observe his surroundings surprised.
What in the world said Rex!
Don't fear friend you are in good hands now said Jack.
Aha, where am I said Rex?
Forsaken Valley responded Jack.
Sounds nice must be a real tourist destination said Rex sarcastically.
No you stand on the boarder of the Dark-Lands the place where the Demon Sorcerer named Aku lives and rules said Jack.
Demon sorcerer, would you describe this Aku guy as "the last guy you'd let near a tactical nuclear device" asked Rex.
That's one description said Hoss.
Ok lets go said Rex.
What for asked Jack?
The ship I was on was carrying a huge supply of Nanites the largest concentration in the world said Rex.
Bah scientific Mumbo Jumbo said Scotsman.
Nah I've heard of them before Nanites create a type of monster called E.V.O.'s said Hoss.
And how do you know this said Jack.
I've dismantled a few in my day said Hoss proudly!
I'm assuming that E.V.O.'s are a bad thing said Jack?
Do I look like someone who hunts and kills "good things" said Hoss?
Hold on a sec lad this sissy hasn't been conscious for 5 minuets; he ain't barkin orders to no one said Scotsman.
Ha-ha-ha, I'm the Sissy, says the one wearing a skirt and fanny pack said Rex!
The Scotsman suddenly began twitching uncontrollably; suddenly the Scotsman began angrily yelling and hacking at Rex with his sword, Rex attempted to defend himself with the BFS in buzz-saw mode.
Dats a big sword for such a sissy little lad said Scotsman!
With one fell swoop of his blade Scotsman cut the BFS in half sending it careening off into the distance causing the broken half of the BFS to embed itself into a cliff with two of it's pieces hanging freely.
And now it ain't even dat said Scotsman mocking the stub of a blade the BFS has become!
Scotsman continued his attack; Rex Short a sword switched to Smack Hands and attempted to hit Scotsman with the Smack Hands in drill mode.
Can you even lift those big dukes little man said Scotsman?
Rex attempted to punch the Scotsman who raised his sword in defense, when blade fist both Smack Hands were shredded down to Rex's bare hands.
There now I bet they're easier to lift said Scotsman.
Rex attempted to kick Scotsman with Punk Boots; Scotsman used his sword to cut off both Punk Boots and sent Rex flying into a large hill Side.
You Need some new feet to stand on boy, I seem to have some spares Mocked Scotsman while holding up one of the severed punk Boots?
Who is this guy said Rex?
Rex brought out the Slam Cannon and began firing chunks of earth at Scotsman, Scotsman charged Rex Head on smashing Rex's projectiles out of existence with his sword, he eventually got up close to Rex and shoved his machine gun leg into the barrel of the Slam Cannon, the Slam Cannon fell apart from being shot out from the inside out.
Is dat de best cha got said Scotsman?
Rex grew the Boogie Pack and flew into the air, then fired both bolas at Scotsman, The Scotsman grabbed the Bolas and tore the Boogie Pack off of Rex then threw both halves at Rex only for both engines to be pinned to a tree by Jacks Sword whom then caught Rex.
Due you propose we defeat Aku by destroying one another old friend, because if you believe this will work then I can contribute greatly to the effort said Jack.
Scotsman returned his sword to its sheath on his back while angrily growling.
So boy tell us of des "Nanites" asked Scotsman?
They're in every living thing on the planet and normally inactive and harmless but when they activate they turn whatever they're in into a monster, an E.V.O. said Rex.
We cannot allow Aku to increase the power of his forces using these Nanites said Jack.
The journey is long and the road is paved with Aku's forces we must prepare immediately said Scotsman.
When do we leave asked Rex?
You're not coming with us half pint, you couldn't even defeat Scotsman and Aku is a thousand times worst then the lot of us combined said Hoss.
I got us into this mess and I'm going to get us out of it said Rex!
He's either brave, foolish or both said Scotsman.
If he, then aren't all of us as well said Jack?
From the distance one of Aku's minions observed the foursome leave the area and removed the broken half of the BFS from the cliff before entering a red swirling portal.
Aku's Lair
Aku's minion walked into his master's lair carrying the second half of the BFS.
Sorry my master for my unannounced arrival but I come bringing news of the Samurai said the Minion.
Speak cretin scoured Aku.
A new traveler has entered your domain and he appears to be working with the Samurai said Aku's minion handing over the severed half of the BFS.
Aku toke the three part blade and after a little playing around with it reassembled it into a single blade.
Intriguing I believe this is someone I very much need to meet said Aku with interest.
Dinosaur Pass
Jack, Hoss, Scotsman, and Rex were riding through Dinosaur Pass on the back of a Triceratops.
So where did the dinosaurs come from said Rex?
They live here said Jack.
No I mean they're supposed to be extinct for the past 65 million years said Rex.
"Snickering" so much for science said Scotsman!
Suddenly the ground started shaking.
Any one else just feel the ground shake asked Rex nervously?
Maybe something to do with the gigantic lizards and volcanoes, Machine Man said Hoss sarcastically speaking to Rex!
The ground shook again and a gigantic worm popped out of the ground toppling over the Triceratops and scattering its load.
That's some lizard said Rex sarcastically!
Hey lad give me a boost yelled Scotsman!
The Scotsman ran at Rex his sword drawn; Rex grew a Smack hand and Scotsman ran onto it and plunged the sword into the underbelly of the worm creature Rex catapulted the Scotsman into the air in the process cutting the worm creature in two before the Scotsman landed on the ground with a earth shattering thud.
I bet he ain't getting up from dat said Scotsman.
Suddenly the worm regenerated and leaped into the air and began its descent right above Rex.
Ah man this is not my lucky day said Rex!
The worm grabbed Rex and burrowed into the ground with him: then the others walked up to the hole scratching their heads.
Ah he twas slowin us down née way said Scotsman!
Jack turned to the Scotsman and opened his mouth to scold his old friend when a blue light could be seen at the bottom of the pit then Rex using the smack hands to climb out of the pit came out.
What happened to the worm asked Hoss?
Rex dangled the now normal sized creature in question in front of him.
Here he is said Rex grinning while tossing away the worm!
How'd you do dat said Scotsman?
Now you know how I was able to collect all those Nanites said Rex!
Our transportation is no more we will have to go on foot said Jack examining the fallen triceratops.
We'll have to go back to the valley for more supplies said Scotsman.
Not true unless I am mistaken Rex demonstrated the ability to grow machines out of his legs that allows him to jump great distances said Jack.
Aha continue said Rex intrigued?
I myself have a similar ability but I don't rely on machinery if these two abilities were to be combined then Rex would have the ability to cross all of the Dark-Lands in a single leap said Jack.
Wow that sounds promising, I can carry the rest of you guys too said Rex.
Then it's settled you 2 go skipping around Aku's boys; me and Hoss will get in a little practice.
Scotsman knocked Hoss into the pit then jumped in after him.
I think we better hurry up and learn how to do this before they kill each other said Rex!
Agreed said Jack.
From a distance the Aku's minion observed Jack's and Rex's conversation then left through a red portal.
Aku's lair
My lord I have new information of the new warrior, he is receiving training from the Samurai and he speaks of technology, known as nanites, with powers of corruption on par with your own said the Minion.
Intriguing with these Nanites I may become the undisputed ruler of these lands once and for all, retrieve the warrior take the information I seek from him, and send what remains to Demongo, he hasn't had a good meal in years said Aku!
Fire-pits
Jack arrived at the edge of the Fire-pits and the Fire-Swamps using his leaping ability with Rex not too far behind huffing and puffing using the same ability without the Punk Busters.
Are you alright said Jack?
Fine just not use to doing this with out the Punk Busters said Rex.
Then let us travel back to the rest of our group said Jack.
Suddenly inhumane growling came from all directions and legions of Aku's Minions appeared from the shadows.
Time to try out some new moves said Rex.
Rex put his goggles over his eyes and grew the Punk Busters, with one mighty leap Rex flew high into the air, both Jack and Aku's Minions waited a moment then just win they were about to resume business as usual a loud whistling sound echoed throughout the area, like the sound of a person sky diving, the lot of them looked up to see Rex plummeting to the earth with his Punk Busters, Jacks leaped out of the way and Rex smashed into the earth with a vengeance leaving behind a crater and army of dazed minions.
Impressive said Jack landing then hacking away at the legions of minions!
Rex grew the whip and began smacking around the minions and between Rex, Jack, and the fact that the many minions were dazed to the point of defenselessness they were all quickly and easily disposed of.
Aku is aware of our mission we must hurry if we are to reach the nanites before his forces do say Jack.
Don't need to tell me twice said Rex.
Rex grew the Punk Busters, grabbed Jack around the waist and jumped back to the rest of group unaware that the scout had been secretly watching them; later Rex successfully Jumped Scotsman, Jack, and Hoss to the Green Maw.
So where's the ship Lad said Scotsman?
Rex scanned the horizon and spotted the object of interest, the crashed aero ship.
There it is said Rex using the BFS to point to the wrecked aero ship.
Great lets get them and get out of here said Hoss.
Suddenly black portals appeared and out came more of Aku's minions.
Trap said Jack arming himself with his sword!
Hoss switched his hand from it's hand form into a crossbow and rapidly fired chainsaws at the Minions, the chainsaws seemed to have gained a mind of it's own and went on to decimate the army on their own, the Scotsman loaded his machine gun leg, toke out his sword and began swinging around both and decimating enemies in the process.
Chain saws, metal hand, demon slayer why does that sound familiar said Rex?
Ignoring Rex Jack and Aku immediately began fighting each other Aku using his demonic claws against Jacks sword.
Ah Samurai so nice to see you again, I can see you brought snacks said Aku!
Snacks, what are you talking about said Jack?
Suddenly answering Jack's question Demongo zoomed by and grabbed Rex and dragged him off into the distance.
Oh said Jack sorely!
Rex and Demongo immediately began their battle; Rex pinned down on the ground grew both of the Punk Busters and gave Demongo a hard donkey kick into the air before jumping into the air after him, during a brief moment in which the two were at the same level Rex drop kicked Demongo back into the main fight, Rex followed up his kick with Smack Hands in full drill mode hammering at the now pinned Demongo.
Hold him down kid yelled Hoss!
Obeying Hoss Rex used a Smack Hand to secure Demongo to the ground, Demongo Snarled at Rex Hoss opened a water bottle and toke advantage of Demongo's less than pleasant disposition towards Rex to stuff the bottle into Demongo's mouth and forced the liquid down his throat.
From England with love, nothing like a little Holy water to make a demon's blood boil said Hoss!
Suddenly Demongo unleashed a inhumanely loud screech with steam coming out of his ears and mouth, he immediately pushed Rex off of himself but the damage was already done, and Demongo was transformed into a Holy, Demonic pipe bomb.
That's de end of em now lets deal with his master said Scotsman.
Rex looked over to Aku then he looked at Demongo and his meltdown.
Why waste an opportunity said Rex?
Rex grew the Slam Cannon and loaded Demongo into the cannon, with a little assistance of the Scotsman, and fired him at Aku causing a fairly large explosion weakening Aku to the point of slump and transformed into a Rabbit to escape.
NEXT TIME SAMURAI yelled the now miniscule
Aku!
Rex Grabbed Aku with a Smack Hand and held him in front of Jack.
You want to take care of this guy said Rex.
Without hesitation Jack slashed his sword though the smack hand, and in the process through Aku as well dissolving the once powerful demon lord.
Nice one bud said Rex.
Thank-You my allies, I have dreamt of this moment for longer then I can remember, now I must go said Jack!
Go where asked Rex?
Home said Jack with smile on his face!
