Samurai Jack: Season 6

by merigirl

So many of us hated the ending of Samurai Jack. We feel that it was a horrible way to treat such wonderful characters. So much so that we decided to write a brand new season 6, so that Jack and Ashi will finally have the ending we feel they deserve. So, this is Samurai Jack: Season 6. Please do enjoy.

1. Episode CII

SAMURAI JACK SEASON 6

THE SCENE STARTS WITH QUICK FLASHES OF EPISODE C AND EPISODE CI. IN PARTICULAR THE SCENES WHERE AKU POSSESSES ASHI AND TURNS HER INTO THE MINION. THE TRANSFORMED ASHI IS THEN FORCED TO FIGHT JACK, WHO EVENTUALLY GIVES UP. SCENES OF A BLACK FIGURE LAYING DOWN AGAINST A TWILIGHT BACKGROUND POP UP IN BETWEEN THESE SCENES ROLLING AND TOSSING AROUND. AS EACH SCENE PLAYS OUT WE KEEP CUTTING TO THE FIGURE WHO ROLLS AND TURNS FIERCELY. SCENES FROM EPISODE CI POP UP IN VERY QUICK MONTAGES. FROM THE BATTLE IN AKU'S FORTRESS TO JACK FREEING ASHI, TO ASHI FIGHTING AKU AND HER OPENING UP THE PORTAL. AFTER EVERY SCENE WE CUT BACK TO THE BLACK FIGURE TOSSING AND TURNING. WE END THE MONTAGE WITH THE WEDDING AND ASHI DISAPPEARING, FINISHING WITH THE CLOSEUP ON JACK'S TEAR STAINED FACE. FINALLY THE BLACK FIGURE WE HAVE BEEN SEEING SCREAMS AND POPS UP AND WE SEE THE FACE- IT'S ASHI!

ASHI (yelling): JACK! (she gasps and looks around her despirately. She stretches her arms out, looking at them while heavily breathing. JACK's voice is then heard in the background, causing ASHI'S head to snap up)

JACK'S VOICE: Ashi! (JACK then appears, running toward her with a worried look on his face) Ashi, are you all right?

ASHI (relieved, she touches her face): I'm here...(grabs JACK in a relieved embrace) You're here!

JACK (hugging her back): It is all right, Ashi. You were having a bad dream.

ASHI (catches her breath and slowly pulls away from JACK.): Jack...where are we?

JACK (confused): We are here, next to the alien spacecraft.

ASHI: So...we're here in the future?

JACK: Yes.

ASHI (breathes a sigh of relief): So...did Aku come?

JACK (frowning and staring off into the distance): Yes. But the cowardly shadow flew away the moment he discovered I had gotten my sword back.

ASHI: That's it? That's all that happened?

JACK (turning back to ASHI): Yes. That is all. Why do you ask?

ASHI (leans against JACK): Jack...my dream was horrible.

JACK: It sounded like it. You were mumbling a lot in your sleep. Do you wish to talk about it?

ASHI: It was terrible. It turned out that I was in fact Aku's daughter! (JACK raises his eyebrows in surprise) That was my reaction in the dream as well, believe me. When Aku found out he used his blood that was inside of me to take possession of me and try to force me to kill you! Jack...I fought it as hard as I could...believe me, I fought it.

JACK (smiling a bit): I do believe you, Ashi.

ASHI (hugs JACK tenderly): But, it got worse. Aku turned me into one of his minions and he controlled every part of me! I couldn't stop myself, Jack. I was lunging for you, I was even begging you to kill me because I couldn't stop myself. Finally you surrendered your sword to him to save me...Aku knew you would. (hugs JACK harder.) The look on your face when I begged you to kill me..I knew you were suffering..and I couldn't do anything to stop it

JACK: It is all right, Ashi. It was only a dream.

ASHI: The dream seemed to take a better turn when all your friends that you told me about came to help you. They helped you get free...and then you helped me free myself. When I did, I discovered that I had Aku's powers which I used to help fight him and get your sword back...and I also discovered I could open up a portal in time. (JACK looks surprised) and we went back into your time, where you finally killed Aku. But, because I was his daughter...I didn't exist once he was killed. (looks down) I faded away..right in front of you. (JACK slowly takes her hand) But it took so many months for time to catch up to me! We spent so much time together, you showed me everything you told me about from your time...and it was so beautiful, just like you told me it was! But when time finally caught up me...on...(ASHI can;t say it) on...an important day...I faded away, right in front of you! It happened so quickly, Jack. I couldn't stop what was happening. I couldn't even say goodbye to you. I never even got to say I love you one last time! (runs her free hand along the back of his neck) The look on your face was the last thing I saw...it was broken...you were so hurt...and I did that...and I couldn't stop...I'm sorry, Jack...

JACK: Do not apologize, Ashi. It was all a dream. None of that happened at all.

ASHI: I know. But...I can't help but feel bad that I dreamed it. (looks into JACK'S eyes. Slowly the camera pans to a closeup of JACK'S tender loving look on his face, and then to ASHI'S. Finally the camera goes back to the two of them looking at each other) Jack...I love you. No matter what happens...I need to tell you that. (wraps her arms around JACK'S neck) I love you, Jack. No matter what happens to us in the future, I want to be with you when it does.

JACK (softly): I love you as well, Ashi. (wraps his arms around her waist) That is why I tried to protect you by going away. I did not want Aku to hurt you in anyway if he found out how we felt about each other. But...it looks like he might have.

ASHI: What do you mean?

JACK: Aku might have interfered with your thoughts as you slept and put that nightmare into you in order to scare you into leaving me.

ASHI: Could be do that?!

JACK: It would not surprise me if he was able to.

(QUICK CUT INTO AKU'S FORTRESS. AKU IS SITTING UPON HIS THRONE, IN A GOOD MOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS)

AKU (laughing hysterically): HA! HA, HA, HA, HA! The little things I enjoy. (looks right at the camera) HA..I feel better already! HA HA HA!

(SCENE RETURNS TO JACK AND ASHI)

ASHI: Well, it didn't work. (reaches over and kisses JACK'S cheek) I love you, Jack. And that dream hasn't stopped me from doing so. It's like I promised, we WILL stop Aku, together. And nothing he does will ever change my mind. (she leans over and tenderly kisses JACK'S lips. JACK responds by kissing her back and pulling her closer to him, softly running his hands up and down her back as the camera pulls away and shows them in a faraway stance, wrapped in each other's arms as the sun rises in the east. The camera cuts back to them as they slowly pull away and look at the promise of the sunrise as soft music plays in the distance. CAMERA CUTS QUICKLY TO THEIR HANDS AND WE SEE THEY ARE CLASPED TOGETHER. ASHI turns to JACK) I love you, Jack. All those things I said to you...in the past...when we first met...you know I didn't mean any of them. I was lied to...I didn't know...

JACK: I know, Ashi. Do not worry, I have forgiven you for that.

ASHI (smiles): Imagine, anyone thinking YOU were evil! (hugs him) I don't care what Aku does or says. He doesn't scare me at all. The only thing that scares me is seeing you hurt. I don't ever want to hurt you, Jack. You were the one who saved my life.

JACK: And you saved mine in turn, Ashi.

ASHI: I never lived at all until you came into my life. You showed me what it is to live, and showed me a side of me that I never even knew existed. (puts her hand on his cheek tenderly) I love you.

JACK: I love you, Ashi. With everything in me. (softly they kiss again until a loud and familiar voice breaks through.)

VOICE OF SCOTSMAN'S GHOST: BUDDY! THERE YA ARE! WE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YA! (SCOTSMAN'S GHOST appears) Hey, Jack, it's been so long!

JACK (quickly he and ASHI stand up): My friend!

SCOTSMAN: Hey, Jack! How are ya? Buddy, we been looking all over for...(notices ASHI in JACK'S arms) Oh...ah...sorry, am I interrupting something (slaps himself on the side of the face lightly) What a stupid question, YEAH, I'm interrupting something!

JACK: No, it is all right, my friend.

SCOSTMAN: Come over here, pal! (SCOTSMAN'S GHOST goes rushing up to JACK and tries to hug him...but notices that he can't. After a few awkward tries, he and JACK bow to each other)

SCOTSMAN: Buddy, how long's it been?! And ya look exactly the same!

JACK: My friend...you...do not.

SCOTSMAN (looks at himself): Uh...yeah. Well...one guess as to how this happened.

JACK AND ASHI BOTH FROWN

JACK: Aku.

SCOTSMAN: Who told ya, buddy? But..(noticing ASHI next to JACK) heh, enough about me, how are YOU? As if I couldn't figure that out! (winks at JACK) so, ya finally did it, huh? (laughs) Ya finally found someone! A bonny lass of your own! Ah buddy, I couldn;t be happier for ya! Ya finally found someone who's made ya an honest man! Ha ha ha! (to ASHI) What's ya name, me lovely?

ASHI: Ashi. (she smiles) You're The Scotsman, right?

SCOTSMAN: That's me! Ashi? Well, a pretty name for a pretty lass. Anyone special to me best buddy Jack is special to me! Ha, ha, so he's told ya about me, huh?

ASHI: All about you and your adventures.

SCOTSMAN (teasingly at JACK): Nothing bad, I hope!

ASHI: No, not at all!

SCOTSMAN: Ah, but where are me manners? I should introduce ya both to the loves of ME life! (calls out to his right) GIRLS! I FOUND IM! COME OUT AND MEET IM! (one by one the SCOTSMAN'S DAUGHTERS start appearing over the hills) Meet me daughters! Each one me pride and joy!

JACK (eyes wide): I see. You have quite a family.

SCOTSMAN: Yeah, and I love em all! (to the DAUGHTERS): Girls? May I introduce me very best friend and without the doubt the Greatest Warrior of all, Samurai Jack himself, and this is the special love of his life, Ashi. OK, line up, all of ya. In age order. One by one come forward and give your name to Jack, bow to him and then introduce yourselves to Ashi.

SCOTSMAN: We've been looking for ya forever so long, buddy! All of us have!

JACK: All of us?

ARCHER'S VOICE: Jack! (JACK and ASHI turn to see the THREE NOT-BLIND ARCHERS coming over the mountain)

ARCHER #1: Jack! It's been so long! How are you? (notices ASHI) Oh. Hello again. I see you've found him.

ASHI: Yes.

JACK: You have already met them?

ARCHER #2: Oh yes. We met each other in our forest while she was looking for you. I have to say that IS a much better outfit than what you had on before. (ASHI looks at the blue outfit and smiles a bit)

SCOTSMAN: We been rounding up as many warriors as we can to prepare for our battle! But we HAD to find you before we could do anything else!

ARCHER #3: We could never do battle against Aku without you, Jack. Not after all you did for us.

JACK: Aku?! You have found out where his fortress is?

SCOTSMAN: Yeah, we have! We're gonna be rounding up some more warriors for the ultimate battle! But we had to find ya first!

(JACK and ASHI look at one another. The camera cuts to their hands as they slowly clasp them together)

JACK: Then let us go.

(cut to commercial)

WE ARE BACK IN AKU'S FORTRESS, WHERE THREE SMALL YELLOW-SKINNED ALIENS ARE STANDING ON A PLATFORM AWAITING AKU. THEY HAVE A MARBLE STATUE IN FRONT OF THEM IN THE SHAPE OF AKU. AKU HIMSELF RISES UP FROM THE GROUND. HIS BACK IS TO US. SLOWLY HE TURNS AROUND UNTIL HE IS FACING THE ALIENS.

AKU: Who summons the Lord of Darkness, the Master of Evil, Aku?

ALIEN #1: Master Aku, we have been toiling hard for the past three weeks to make you this offering, made from our finest marble. (he pushes the statue closer to AKU) We hope that it will be to your liking, oh mighty Lord of Darkness.

AKU (picks up statue and studies it): Hmmm...(smiles a horrid smile) excellent! I am most pleased by this offering.

ALIEN #2 (bows to his knee): Thank you, oh mighty Lord.

AKU: In fact, this pleases me so much, I would like to invite you all for some tea in my parlor while you help me decide where to put it.

ALIEN #1: Oh Lord Aku, that is a most generous offer.

AKU (in mysteriously calm voice): It iiiiiiiis, isn't it? Oh by the way, do you take cream or sugar in your tea?

ALIEN #2: Both if you please. Mostly sugar.

AKU: Excellent. One lump or two?

ALIEN #2: Sweets for the sweet, we like to say. Better make it three lumps.

AKU THEN PROCEEDS TO BASH ALL THREE ALIENS WITH THE STATUE ONE BY ONE

AKU: Three lumps! HA, HA, HA, HA! Chamberlain! (he appears) take this statue and put it in my parlor, then clean this mess up! HA HA HA!

THE SCENE THEN CHANGES TO OUTSIDE.

THE CAMERA SLOWLY PANS AROUND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A BEACH AND FINALLY STOPS ON SEVERAL OF THE TRICERAQUINNS THAT ARE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF THE WATER. THEIR SHIPS ARE IN THE WATER, CLOSE TO THE SHORE AND THEY'RE GAZING UPON THE HORIZON WAITING.

TRICERAQUINN #1: Do you see anything?

TRICERAQUINN #2 (the one that sounds like WACKO WARNER): Are they coming?

TRUCERAQUINN #3: I can't tell yet.

TRICERAQUINN #2: I hope they've found him.

TRICERAQUINN #1: Me too. We need Jack to lead us into this battle.

TRICERAQUINN #2: I wonder how he's been doing? Haven't seen him in so long.

TRICERAQUINN #1: I hope he was able to find Jack.

TRICERAQUINN #3: Should we practice with our weapons until we know for sure?

THE SOUNDS OF HEAVY FOOTSTEPS ARE HEARD JUST THEN AND THE WOOLIES APPEAR OVER THE HORIZON. THE TRICERAQUINNS NOD TOWARD THEM AS THEY COME OVER.

WOOLIE #1: Did they find him?

TRICERAQUINN #1: We don't know yet.

TRICERAQUINN #2: We're still waiting.

TRICERAQUINN #3: We were thinking of doing some sparring while we wait.

TRICERAQUINN #1: Wait a minute, I see something! (some shadows appear) Is it them?

WOOLIE #2: I can't tell right now...

TRICERAQUINN #3: I think he found him! (the shadows come into focus- the SCOTSMAN'S GHOST, HIS DAUGHTERS, THE ARCHERS, JACK, AND ASHI appear) It's Jack! They've found him.

TRICERAQUINN #1 (waving): Jack! They've found him! Jack! (JACK smiles and waves to them)

JACK: My friends! It is nice to see you again.

TRICERAQUINN #2: Not half as nice as it is to see you!

WOLLIE #1 (seeing ASHI): Oh, hello. I see you've found him.

ASHI: Yes.

JACK: You have already met them as well, Ashi?

ASHO: Yes. They were some of the first people I met when I was looking for you.

TRICERAQUINN #2: Well, we haven;t met her yet. (steps forward) How do you do? Are you a friend of Jack's?

SCOTSMAN'S GHOST: Oh yeah...hah, ha, ha...they're a LITTLE more than friends, pal! (winks at them)

TRICERAQUINN #2 (Looks at JACK, then at ASHI. Smiles, understanding): Ah...I get it. (turns to ASHI) Well, what's your name?

ASHI: Ashi. (smiles) You're the Triceraquinns?

TRICERAQUINN #3: Ah, I see Jack's told you about us.

ASHI: Yes. In a way your story is similar to mine.

TRICERAQUINN #1: Aku tricked you as well?

ASHI: Not Aku...my mother did.

TRICERAQUINN #3: Your mother?

ASHI: Yes. My mother was the head of a cult that worshipped Aku and filled my head with lies my entire life.

TRICERAQUINN #1: You don't say?

ASHI (smiling tenderly at JACK): If it wasn't for Jack, I would have never known the truth. I probably wouldn't even be alive.

JACK: Nor would I, if it was not for Ashi.

TRICERAQUINN #1: Well, this sounds like a fascinating story.

SCOTSMAN'S GHOST: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You both can tell us later. We got a battle to git ready for and more guys to round up!

CUT TO BLACK.
