In a dimension known as hyperspace, there was a spherical mass called Darvida. It was responsible for giving life to all of the realms its dimension was connected to. Though it was only a sphere, it was sentient and could bend the rules of the galaxy as it wished. One day, it decided to do the unimaginable. It shot off a number of meteors from its surface and they went in different directions. The meteors streaked through space so fast that they traveled to new realms. One meteor in particular flew towards a red planet that was much like Earth…
The day was nearly over when Aku emerged from his bedroom. He stretched and yawned, "My, what an invigorating nap! I'm glad I decided to add it to my schedule so I don't become so overwhelmed." He pulled out a long list from behind him and muttered, "Let's see…'Nap', did that. 'Hear complaints and requests'…"
Aku rolled his eyes as he remarked, "Oh, that'll be fun. 'Think of ways to eliminate Samurai Jack'." He chuckled evilly, "My favorite part of the day." He was about to continue until he heard a whooshing sound, followed by a CRASH! The crash was accompanied by ground-shaking. When he grabbed hold of one of his flame branches, Aku hoisted himself up and said angrily, "Oh, it better not be another rebellion."
When he looked outside, he saw no sign of attack. He thought it was odd until he saw a glowing green meteorite buried in the ground. Aku decided it was worth investigating and transformed into a bird to fly next to it. When he reverted back to his regular self, he scanned the surface of this unusual rock. He had invaded countless alien worlds, but never seen anything like this before. He wondered if it was radioactive or even toxic and refrained from touching it. Then, he remembered that he was toxic, toxic enough to handle what the meteorite would throw at him.
Aku reached towards the glowing rock and felt the warmth of its glow. He inspected his hand and was relieved. He had expected for it to burn away in the light in case the rock had come from goodness itself. Then again, he'd seen things glow green and in most cases, it didn't harm him. Confident this time, he placed his hand on the meteorite.
He was met with a strange sensation. It felt warm, yet it flowed into him as if it was just water. Aku had this feeling before, but somehow, he felt that this time was different. Suddenly, visions flashed before his eyes. They were very choppy, but Aku could make out a baby's cry, the stars above, and his voice saying, "Don't take him…"
Aku didn't know that he had been out, but when he opened his eyes, he found that he was lying on the ground. He put a hand on his head to ease the dizziness and discomfort as he rose. When he looked at the rock again, he saw that the green glow was gone, replaced by a bluish-gray surface reflecting the sunlight. He scratched the surface and concluded that it had become regular rock. He thought, Well, if it was magic I absorbed, I'm glad I did it before anyone else could get to it. He himself had no use for the rock, but he thought that at least some of his peons would find value in it. He shrugged, "I guess the phrase 'one man's trash is another's treasure' rings true in this instance."
Aku soon called in his best geologists and jewelers. They all agreed that the meteorite had come from an unknown place. The geologists and jewelers decided to split the rock between them: the former group would take their share to the laboratory for further examination and the jewelers would refine their share and sell it to their customers. Of course, Aku was going to take half of the jeweler's profits to fund the geologists' research. His plan worked perfectly, but soon, his life was about to change forever.
Author's Note: I've wanted to do a pregnant Aku story in forever! I just found the right time for it. Also, the name "Darvida" derives from the Portuguese words "dar vida", which means "give life". I found this to be appropriate. To clarify, it's the same hyperspace from "Super Secret Crisis War". ;)
