Aku, the shape shifting master of darkness, has started his take over and began to stretch across the entire universe. He has initiated the process of draining the worlds of their resources and life. After a mere hundred years, he began his take over towards the east of his resting place, his attention was drawn back to earth by a young woman. Her spirit had hope and showed a vast amount of care for any living creature. She also had quite a useful power that he wished to see for himself.

Rumors had been spread about her throughout the land as she began making a name fore herself. She was quite the hero to the common folk and would never use this power of hers unless it was truly necessary to help those in need. It's also told that she travels with an odd companion that seems rude and snarky but cares for her deeply. Aku soon tricks this poor foolish girl as he cloaks himself as an old woman. She instantly comes to his aid when she discovers that he had 'injured' his leg during his travels as this old woman.

The girl, whom he finds out her name is Delucia, was odd in appearance. Her ears pointed and her clothes were a violet uniform that would be used for training but, they were tattered and seemed to be worn out from mass amounts of battle. Her hair was almost white as fresh snow fall but her bangs were as black as night and hung over her left eye. Though, she had no issues with having fighting in battle. The eye that was visible, was a light violet and lavender hue though there was a small orb in her iris that moved as if swimming thought the pools of bright color. She also seemed to have something placed under her eye, a tattoo of some sort.

She had called herself Digi when he had encountered her. She had agreed to help him and carries him, back to his lair. On their travels to his home, he acquires more information about her. How she had been sealed away for a long time in a dungeon, just as he had long ago. She had also known nothing of Aku, only that there was a being of darkness that ruled the land. At first he was outraged but, he then thought it would be best to use this against her. Making her trust him completely before revealing himself to her. He also witnesses her extraordinary powers with obstacles that would have killed even the Samurai. She had a genuine smile and cared about people. He had still not met this woman's companion. Soon he exposes himself of whom he really is to her once they had arrived at the large castle…

"Young warrior of such pronounced skill, I am Aku! The shape shifting master of darkness." He says deviously to her. He also had a vast quantity of arrogance in his tone. She blinks bewildered as her brows disheveled somewhat, "I'm sorry, that name is not quite familiar to me…"

"So I have noticed… You will learn who I am in time… I, Aku, am in dire need of your assistance. But, for the assistance I require, I shall be willing to show you a great kindness since you were so generous to openly give to me on our journey together." He had a devilish smile that was placed on his face as he looked down at her with his now godly like stature, making her quite suspicious of his offer thus far but, he had done nothing to wound her physically or emotionally, "What kindness shall I receive exactly?" She spoke in a smooth Hungarian accent that hinted at her suspiciousness towards this new shadowy figure. "Freedom. Freedom to roam the galaxy and do as you please. As long as you come to me when I call and do as I ask." he says modestly.

A crystal that glistened a lively and brilliant royal purple color. As beautiful as it was, the gem had spoken in a vulgar manner, "Hey! Don't I get a say in this?!" Aku glared at the shingle as his voice elevated from the young girl's pocket. The young warrior looked at the crystal as it now hovered close to her head, "Thomas, I am sure you have good intentions but-"

"Digi! This is too good to be true and you know it! You can't just trust people all willy-nilly anymore. Especially guys as creepy as this one." Thomas spoke over her trying to direct her away from this shadowy overlord of wickedness. Aku growled slightly at being called creepy. 'so this is the companion…' Aku thought annoyed with it already.

She sighed and now standing in a slightly defensive and rebellious pose, "Thomas, we've been trapped in a dungeon for a long time! I want to be free to roam and help all of those who desperately need me. Thomas that is the promise I had made to myself, which is also a promise you made with me. You know of this."

Aku listened to this newly found information absorbedly and became more engrossed in the girl's power as well as this so called promise of hers. He smirked as he eavesdropped intently. He had big plans for the young heroine that she didn't recognize yet. Their voices snappishly stopped quarrelling catching Aku's attention quickly. The crystal spoke rudely "Fine, Stubborn cow…" Digi smiled lightly at the stone as if an old friend walking through hell with her several times over, "Thank you, dumb rock." She looked up at Aku and had smiled a pure and kindhearted smile, "I humbly accept your offer. I will help you for as long as you give me freedom."

Aku was pleased with this news. "Very good..." He had given her a new set of clothing and a second set to change into on her travels. The clothes were that of her time and she was given a well-equipped travel bag that should help her with her travels. After she was changed into the proper clothing, he released a portal and had her travel to the future, having a premonition of his future self that would be needing all the help he could now receive. She willingly left with her crystal companion through though strange vortex Aku had opened for her. She had soon arrived in a mysterious place with machines and future technology all around her as she was starting to fall from the dark skies…
