Very short chapter. I don't know if I'm ever going to finish this.
Macros, Macros, Macros
His mind started to numb nowadays. He traveled endlessly around the planet, being tracked down by villains and minions alike. But traveling about in an eternal search for a portal to the past was Jack's last hope in destroying his mortal enemy, Aku. Evil. And like his whole entire life, he just had to make adjustments because of his surroundings.
Practice.
Experiment.
Learn.
Become used to it and tuck it into normal life. After so many miles, Jack came to some thickening woods and his sandals now landed on the orange, littered ground. It crunched and gave off a woody smell; he looked down to see what looked like pine needles, leaves and pieces of bark. He scanned his surroundings quickly and saw it was becoming a pretty thick forest, ready to shed its leaves for the coming winter. But it was warm, perhaps this was another one of the future's changes, where autumn was warm or here the forests were usually orange.
He decided this was a good terrain for one to hide, but not be chased through. And he always knew danger was always present. In fact, one of Aku's agents could by spying him right now. And if he were to be engaged in a fight, he could be taken from beneath the ground with all the foliage to camouflage his enemies and it would be a narrow escape if he were fast enough. His sword, as trustworthy as it is, might heighten his chances. It was better to be more cautious than not. He tried to move silently, but the crunches...
Wait.
He only took one step and there were two crunches. Something was there. Jack prayed it was something harmless like a deer, but he knew they too might deceive him. So he attempted to ignore it and continued slowly, ready to defend himself if needed. He heard his every breath, every step, and every heartbeat. Why was it always either too quiet or too loud wherever he was?
He could see the sky growing orange also, it was becoming night and he was going to continue east until perhaps early morning, but fate (or Aku) had other plans. The ground rumbled and Jack had a few seconds to react to the mix of 4 assailants, 3 robots, their guns drawn and metal reflecting what light was left of the day and one alien with a hideously blue face, sagging and bumpy with disgusting growths and his single pistol pointed.
"Son, do you have ANY idea who you are?" chuckled the blue alien.
"They call me Jack."
The alien and the robots laughed, "Well, son, to us you're what we like to call 100,000 Macros!"
They launched an attack on him, but of course they weren't any match for Samurai Jack. His sword cut clean straight through all three robots in one swing. Zapping body parts were flung everywhere and the circuits twitched before dying because of lack of electricity. The only one that was left was the blue thing, still prepared to get his 100,000 whatever-you-call-'ems.
"I do not wish to hurt you," said Jack, trying to diffuse the man.
"I WANT MY MACROS!" he screeched, jumping into the air and shooting in Jack's direction. For a small, squat, fat thing, he jumped quite a distance.
But before a single bullet touched him, he moved to dodge it and he heard a loud "Grumph!" and the cackle of leaves as the blue man plummeted to the forest floor. And Jack saw another enemy, maybe a person, maybe an alien. He couldn't tell because their armor was black, save for the emblem on their shoulders: Painted crudely in white was a square with its corners marked by lines, something similar to his kingdom's emblem. Home...
And that was his last thought before he saw the armored enemy come towards him and somehow managed to take him out.
