A/N:Love Hina belongs to Ken Ass-matsu, Lord Dominator belongs to Disney, Def Jam belongs to EA, Samurai Jack to Genndy and everyone else belongs to their respective owners. I only own my plotlines, the Blackthorn name, and my OCs. Please review, follow, and favorite this and enjoy your read. Now for the warning:

This fanfiction will be depressing and make the original ending to Samurai Jack a happier one by comparsion! And to clear something up, Immortal!Motoko will be referred to as Michiko.

This story would take place in Season 5 of Samurai Jack


"Long ago, in a distant land, I, Aku, the shapeshifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku..."

(Aku leaves and a new chilling voice has taken its place)

"However, unknown to the foolish samurai or the bumbling Aku, was a new evil coming to swallow him up in the void of darkness. Unaware that this threat had knowledge of their world to a tee and a badass crew. With that in tow, the world will suffer under a new evil, under the wrath of I, Jōshō."

Recap: Jōshō Shadow Blackthorn had gathered a crew to spread a wrath of villainy across the multiverse after some villains killed his wife, nearly a year ago. His new girl, Delia Dominator, his helpful immortal assassin, Michiko (formerly Motoko Aoyama), the immortal brawl, Keitaro Urashima, and the camp cook, Shinobu. He had gotten his hands on one of the Metsu Emeralds, gems with destructive warper energy and potency of seven Chaos Emeralds in each one. Due to an accident off-screen, he couldn't sense the other Metsu Emeralds, but he did sense Elvin's defeat. Seeing that he needs to get stronger than before, they decided to pay a world of Samurai Jack at Keitaro's suggestion.


Things were already to quite the start which Jōshō and his crew sat around a campfire in the middle of the woods. The woods showed signs of fall with falling leaves and cold weather. A year had changed Jōshō and his teammate.

He still stood at six feet and had his dark hair and crimson eyes. His hair was grown out a much to resemble Silver's hairdo. He had a black overcoat hung over his shoulders. It had his family kanji on the back outside in red and with a bloody design. The coat was studded with diamond metals around the collar and had red spikes from the shoulders. Underneath was a white collared with dark armored plated on the chest, black, and shoulders. He had dark pants, and matching boots. Paradise Lost was sheathed on his left and his BlackTab on his right. He also wore a simple diamond wedding band on his left hand showing his marriage to Delia Dominator. (Between that year, he and Delia got married.) Around his neck in a chain, he wore Jihi's old silver wedding band.

Delia Dominator-Blackthorn still had her pale-green skin, red freckles, pointy ears, bright pink eyes (sclera), and white hair that's been shaved into a lengthy mohawk (however, it was much more spiked and longer). She wore a revealing black blouse that showed much of her chest and a loose black sarong that exposed her long, slender legs with the grey symbol of the Blackthorn family adorned on it, along with a metallic gray cape studded with diamond metals spikes on the shoulders, and black high heel pumps. Her body was a lot more toned from her year of training. She was now wielded a BlackTab as per family tradition, specifically Jihi's old BlackTab in a dark blue color clipped to her right. She had a diamond wedding band on her right hand's middle finger.

A year was rather good for Keitaro as he longer needed glasses. He wore a black motorcycle jacket, a metallic grey armored top, black leather pants, and matching boots. He was at the same height and wore dark shades with black fingerless gloves.

Shinobu changed most of the year having adjusted to villainy. She stood now at 5'4" still having a lithe frame. Her blue hair was streaks of black in it and came to her shoulders. Her bust size had to what Aoyama used to be at (at 86 cms). She wore a matching black motorcycle jacket, a light blue tank top, dark blue colored pants, and white sandals.

Michiko had changed little over this year as she was still the amazon woman she was only looking a little closer to her older sister, Tsuruko. She had a new outfit as well to wear casually saving the black bodysuit for "worthy battles". Her long black hair was still worn loose and some of it worn over an eye. She wore a Black Rose Chinese cheongsam that showed her legs, along with a black jacket. she also wore stud earrings on both ears, had red painted fingernails, and no lipstick. Her swords were sheathed on her side.

"The fire is dimming." Michiko said. "I thought the samurai's corpse would be good firewood."

Jōshō got up and blasted the corpse to increase the fire's heat. Yes, they had killed the samurai. How? A bullet to the head from a silenced sniper rifle from Keitaro. They didn't really respect him enough to fight him head on. Samurai Jack didn't get no hurrah, no nothing. Keitaro held Jack's katana is his hands.

"What should we do with it? It can't kill innocents." Keitaro remarked.

Jōshō just took it up and looked to his Metsu Emerald.

"Metsu Control." Jōshō said channeling the energy of the Metsu Emerald into his Warper's Will.

Tainting the sword with a mixture of his Warper's Will and Mad Jack's essence from the corpse, the sword's metal before as black and cold as Aku giving off an evil air to it. The only weapon to defeat Aku was now in the hands of a villain able to taint it. Let that sink in.

"I shall call it Tainted Wrath." Jōshō said spawning a sheath for it out his BlackTab. "It's best, I keep this."

"I keep his electrical trident, I'm calling it Spark Spear." Delia said taking it.

"His laser pistol's mine. I'm making it my own sidearm. I'm totally naming it Haruka." Keitaro said putting the pistol in his new holster.

"I'd like his kunai, I can lace them with poison." Michiko remarked.

To the group's surprise, Shinobu wanted the mini-gun to which she used an empty capsule to store it with ease on her side. With the BlackTab, Jōshō scanned and duplicated Jack's motorcycle for them all to get one each. As they all got on, they looked back at the burning corpse.

"Don't worry, Jack. I'll make sure that everyone you know, love, and hate will join you in death. Thanks for the sword." Jōshō said using one final blast to evaporate the body.

As they rode away, Jōshō cleared his throat.

"We'll be going the episodes as canon goes, but we'll be twisting the story to serve us. Any questions?" Jōshō asked.

"What do we about Ashi and her sisters?" Keitaro asked.

"We do need a camp whore…Kenji has that over us. But I don't want Ashi, too cliché. We can sell her to the sex arcade or Cherie. Either one will pay good money for her." Jōshō said.

"I'm game for that. Let's make sure we neutralize Demongo. Can't have him after us." Delia remarked.

"Right, dear." Jōshō remarked. "Let's move out!"

They took off further down the road to ready themselves, a darker canon was about to begin.


(A/N: Some start! Yeah, Jōshō is going to in a sense worse than Aku, but those who have read the earlier Jōshō Arcs know this well. This fanfic will be projected to be about 11 chapters long for the most part (each chapter onwards being a twisted canon to the Season 5 episodes). This fanfic will be taking place around the same place as "Not Another High School Fanfiction", and if you've read chapter 33 of Steven Universe Blackthorned, you'd know why. Like NaHSf, this chapter is meant to set up the plot and describe the new looks for our villain protagonists. What's next for our villains? Will the world realize the samurai is dead? What of the daughters of Aku? Find out next time!
