Chapter 2: Being Chased

Jack continued to run for his life as Slenderman was following him from behind, he dodged a few trees and headed toward a bathroom complex where he felt he could temporarily lose Slenderman.

"That structure won't save you samurai, I am everywhere!" laughed Slenderman.

Jack ignored Slenderman's taunting and soon came across another page, he ended up taking the page and headed off.

"So, you must be so proud you found another page" laughed Slenderman, "but no matter, you won't find them all!"

As Slenderman wanted to indeed torment the samurai, another demon known as Aku was having trouble trying to signal where the samurai was located so he could send in his minions like he normally does. But as Aku was trying to observe the forest, static was disrupting the situation.

"Bah, I don't believe this, I am the Mighty All Power Aku, I shouldn't be having these issues!" cried Aku, "Why can't I see the samurai?!"

"Uh, Lord Aku" said an adviser, "perhaps there might be some entity disrupting your signal."

"An entity more powerful than me?" laughed Aku, "Don't make me laugh, there is no entity as powerful as I, I am the Supreme Ruler of the Earth, there is nothing not even the samurai can stop."

"Well, maybe we should just wait and try again" said the adviser.

"This is no cable television issue" said Aku, "I always get the samurai on screen, but this time I don't, why!"

"Well, Lord Aku, consider that there has to be some sort of a being powerful just as you that is disrupting your signal" continued the adviser as he made a bold statement.

"Hmm" said Aku who wasn't angry with those comments, "maybe you're right, but whoever or whatever it is, I hope it finishes off the samurai quickly, then I should be able to find whatever the heck it is and congratulate it!"

"Are you sure that's a wise thing to do?" asked the adviser.

"Excuse me, who's the All Powerful Wizard here, not you" laughed Aku.

Aku indeed was trying to channel on the samurai's location, but Slenderman was indeed being the main culprit in disrupting the service, the samurai continued to trek through the forest hoping to find the other pages. He soon came across some abandon, empty oil tankers that were out in the open, as the samurai continued onward, he noticed a page was on top of the oil tankers, he climbed up the oil tanker and grabbed the page. He then could hear some clapping in the distance.

"Bravo, bravo samurai" said Slenderman as he was in the distance, "you are so far halfway finished in getting the pages, "but can you have a little sparing practice with me before you head on off to find the others?"

Jack looked around and noticed Slenderman, which the samurai leaped right down prepared with his sword.

"I knew you never bother to turn down a challenge, let's make things more interesting" said Slenderman as he then revealed his tentacles to the samurai.

Jack charged at Slenderman, but Slenderman ended up using his tentacles and tossing the samurai aside, the samurai soon recovered from the attack and charged at Slenderman, yet he soon failed against that attack as Slenderman moved very swiftly dodging the attack.

"There is no way that you cannot defeat me normally samurai" laughed Slenderman.

The samurai soon felt it was time to make another mad run for it, he dashed off with Slenderman soon following him closely behind. He soon came across a blue truck where the samurai soon spotted a page, but as soon as he took the page, Slenderman was right behind the samurai.

"I have you now samurai!" laughed Slenderman.

Jack soon dodged Slenderman as he tried to swing a punch to the samurai, where he soon dashed off again.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, samurai you think just because you're only finding the pages you'd think you can escape from me, even if you do get all eight pages, I can still follow you no matter where you go!" laughed Slenderman.

Jack knew Slenderman was right about him following himself forever, making his journey home to end Aku's reign of tyranny impossible. The only way for Jack to stop Slenderman in his tracks as if he had never crossed into the forest in the first place meaning sadly he'd have to give up the time portal home that the priests were preparing for him at their temple. The samurai continued to run off from Slenderman every time he had spotted him or felt his presence, he'd hope to get the other pages soon enough and end the nightmare once and for all.

"There goes that samurai again" laughed Slenderman, "no matter, I'll win in the end. I always do."
