Chapter 3: Battle of Ravenholm
The samurai very well knew he could hear some unnatural sounds throughout the abandon town of Ravenholm as he traveled through its cemetery, he could hear the howls all around him. But suddenly, as Aku was indeed gaining control over Ravenholm's zombies, the samurai soon heard nothing from the zombies themselves.
"It seems it is quiet, too quiet" said Jack.
Suddenly a zombie popped right up being obviously controlled by Aku and charged at the samurai with quite a fast speed, the samurai was easily able to use his sword and slice up the zombie before it could do any damage.
"Oh samurai, we're hunting for you!" laughed Aku's voice throughout Ravenholm.
Then came more fast moving zombies whom were leaping from roof top to roof top, as they gazed down at the samurai, they leaped toward him, but Jack was quick enough to use his sword to stop them in time.
"Is this the best you can do?" asked Jack to his arch foe Aku.
"I have much more in store for you samurai" laughed Aku.
As the samurai headed out of the cemetery, there were rows of poison zombies heading toward him, Jack was able to dodge their attacks quite easily, but the poison headcrabs were indeed following the samurai in numbers.
"There is nothing that you can do to escape from my pets!" laughed Aku.
The samurai climbed up some buildings within the town itself to avoid the headcrabs, but suddenly he soon faced more fast moving zombies whom were running toward the samurai. Jack was able to use his sword with ease to stop each one in its tracks. He eventually headed for the town square, but as the samurai leaped down, there were an entire row of several zombies whom were waiting for the samurai with one large zombie that Aku was indeed controlling.
"Samurai, samurai, samurai, you will not be able to make it pass me nor my zombie army" laughed Aku, "as you can see, my black magic can indeed control these zombies with ease, they are able to obey my every command as well."
"You'll never elude me from my destiny!" roared Jack.
"Destiny?" laughed Aku, "Your destiny ends here, right here at Ravenholm!"
Aku then signals the zombies to attack Jack, to which the samurai was able to outwit most of them with his sword. The shape-shifting wizard then charged at the samurai while controlling the large zombie, and then was able to pick up the samurai and throw him across the town square and into the fountain.
"Samurai, you will surrender to me, and make things easier, or there shall be more pain to come" said Aku.
"I'd rather be in pain than to surrender to you" said Jack.
"Defiant until the very end" laughed Aku.
Aku made another charge at Jack, destroying much of the fountain, and plunging the samurai through several walls of a few buildings. The shape-shifting wizard who was controlling the large zombie pinned the samurai down against the wall.
"Samurai, you've been defeated by me" laughed Aku, "there is nothing more that you can possibly do!"
But as Aku was about to end the samurai's life, several rounds of bullets could be heard from the distance as his zombie army had company.
"Who dares disrupt Aku?" roared Aku.
It was none other than Gordon Freeman himself who just got out of the cemetery and was still fighting off some of the zombies that were not under Aku's control.
"Bah, I guess I'll have to do Wallace Breen's work for him" said Aku as he left a weaken samurai.
As Gordon Freeman continued to fire his weapons at the oncoming zombies, Aku himself appeared before Freeman.
"Mortal, I am giving you a chance to surrender to the all mighty Aku, namely me" said Aku, "and let's hope this will be less painful."
Suddenly, a rocket was fired by Freeman targeting Aku, but did no damage since Aku was immune.
"Bah, be that way pest" said Aku, "zombies, do your work."
Gordon Freeman did his best to fight off the zombies, but his weapons were obviously going to be useless against fighting Aku. He eventually found Samurai Jack still injured from the fight he had with Aku.
"My sword" said Jack to Gordon Freeman, "use my sword, it'd hurt Aku."
Freeman indeed took the samurai's advice, as he then began to slice away at the zombies with Jack's sword, he then eventually used it against Aku for which the shape-shifting wizard screamed in pain.
"Bah, the sword!" roared Aku.
Aku then used his laser eyes to target Freeman, to which Freeman ran across the town square, and grabbed Jack and began to run off. Aku wasn't pleased by this at all, for which after abandoning the zombies that he once controlled decided to pay Wallace Breen a visit, along with some Advisors whom were instructing him on a few more orders.
"Breen!" roared Aku as he arrived at the Citadel.
"Lord Aku, I did not expect you to arrive" said Breen.
"Your Advisor allies better get to it in having the Combine forces go after Samurai Jack, he is currently on the run with this Gordon Freeman you so despise" said Aku.
"Freeman has been quite troublesome for us" said Breen, "we haven't been able to locate him."
"Well, he was last spotted carrying an injured Samurai Jack out of Ravenholm" continued Aku.
"We'll send all available forces to find those two" said Breen.
"Good, good" said Aku, "I shall be here at the Citadel, just when for the samurai might arrive."
