Hey peoples, this is my second fic to date. I've been planning to do a Samurai Jack fic for sometime now but I'm sooo freaking lazy, plus school is taking up a lot of my time. On the plus side I got my computer back, finally! I got tired of doing all my stories at the library. It smells funny and the library lady has been giving me "looks". Brrrrrrr…
"They Call Me Jack" is going to be an ongoing story like my X-men Evolution fic,
"To the Last Drop". (insert shameless plug here) Unlike TTLD I won't be making any characters. The story is going to pretty much completely revolve around Jack. The real stories will start soon but first I decided to sort of introduce the story with a poem-like default chapter. Hope ya like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Samurai Jack. If I did I'd be filthy, stinkin' rich and I'd hire somebody to write this for me. God I'm lazy…
The Darkness.
It came from nowhere. It came and spread all over.
There isn't one inch of this planet that hasn't been touched by the darkness.
Every single inch.
Even the sky has been covered. Its vastness has been blocked out by a thick blanket of inky black.
The whole world has changed since he came and cast his shadow over our world.
His power, like his cruelty knows no bounds. He has destroyed homes, forced entire civilizations into slavery and plundered every single natural resource available for his own devious purposes.
There is nothing we can do to stop this…this creature, this monster.
There is no warrior noble enough, no army great enough, no weapon powerful enough to withstand his evil. Every single soul that dared to oppose his rule is gone. All have failed and fallen before him.
And so this planet has been plunged into darkness for countless centuries. Those who have not yet met their end are struggling from day to day just to survive. The grip of terror he has over us is enough alone to ensure his rule will go on unchallenged.
The desperation is so great and the people's only legacy to future generations will be one of fear and hopelessness.
We are doomed. We are…wait. What is this? It's so familiar…and yet.
Could it be? It can't be. But it is.
The Light.
The light has returned after all this time. You can barely see it but its there.
This one little light is the key to finally release us.
It started so small but it grows every day. With every life it touches it grows brighter and brighter.
The darkness is afraid to show its face in front of the light.
Some thought it was impossible, but it's true. The light is here.
We finally have hope after all this time.
Our children are no longer afraid of the dark.
One day we will be free.
Thanks to the light.
The light. It has a name.
They call him Jack.
