Chapter 8: Courtney's Downfall
Aku was rather impatient with Chris on choosing a warrior, although he felt the process should be looked long and hard before selecting the right warrior to choose to fight against Samurai Jack. One warrior in particular Aku wasn't fond of was Courtney who boosted on having skills that she did not have at all. The shape-shifting wizard and Chris were discussing the matter via holograms.
"Listen, this Courtney is it?" asked Aku, "She sounds like she's the weakest link among them all currently."
"Apparently she is" laughed Chris.
"Get rid of her" replied Aku.
"That I can do, by making everyone turn against her" laughed Chris.
"Please do that" said Aku, "I do not want a warrior like her to face the samurai."
As Chris went to do that, the other warriors indeed had the same feelings about Courtney as much as Chris or Aku did for her.
Confessions:
"Courtney is somehow naïve that she could end up being the warrior to beat Jack" laughed Alejandro.
"There has to be a warrior that'd suit me to choose to beat Courtney before I move onto the samurai" said Mike.
"A little one on one with me, and she won't even last a second" said Lightning.
End of confessions.
Chris felt he had the right challenge that could disqualify Courtney for good as a possible warrior to face Jack himself. As the warriors gathered, Chris introduced Eva, Dakota and Ezekiel as rabid warriors as Robo Chef brought them in cages.
"Today's challenge is a test of skill, that if you could be able to defeat all three of these warriors, you'll pass on and win immunity, since I hope every warrior has what it takes to beat these three, then I hope there would be no problems and no one gets voted off" said Chris, "let's choose Lightning as the first warrior to try to survivor the onslaught of these three maniacs."
"Ha, I have been waiting for a challenge like this" laughed Lightning.
As Lightning took his turn against the trio of crazy warriors, Eva was let out of her cage and charged at Lightning, Lightning ended up giving her an uppercut, as Dakota came at Lightning with her mutant claws, Lightning ended up receiving a scratch, but ended up punching Dakota out. Ezekiel leaped right onto Lightning, but Lightning ended up easily knocking him out.
"Alright, next Alejandro" said Chris.
The Conquistador like Lightning had no trouble beating the trio of crazy warriors, and likewise with Heather and Mike. Soon came down toward DJ, Courtney and Jack which Jack gladly volunteered first.
"I'll go on ahead" said Jack.
"Yea, you do that" said DJ.
Confessions:
"Wow, I can't believe Jack is such a nice guy" said DJ, "who the heck would want to get rid of a guy who's nice?"
"I can do just as good as anyone of them can" said Courtney.
End of confessions.
Jack passed with ease, as Eva tried to charge at the samurai, the samurai leaped right over, Dakota managed to slice the samurai with her claws, but the samurai ended up taking out his sword to which her claws and his sword clashed together. Jack then ended up kicking down Dakota and moved onto Ezekiel where he was able to easily outwit him with ease. Soon it was DJ's turn, Robo Chef typically helped out DJ by playing some classical dance music to which DJ ended up giving Eva a few rounds of punches, and as Dakota raced toward DJ with her mutant claws, DJ slipped right between her legs and ended up kicking Ezekiel down.
"Wow, very impressed so far, but there is still one more warrior we haven't tested out the skills for yet" laughed Chris.
"I can do this, I can do this" said Courtney as she felt confident.
Courtney headed toward Eva, but Eva ended up giving Courtney a hard punch which ended up making her a bit dizzy. She then headed onward toward Dakota who ended up literally trying to tear up Courtney who struggled to free herself from Dakota. Next Ezekiel ended up doing the same thing in his rabid form until she managed to make it free.
"Wow, none of the other warriors ended up looking like that in the end" laughed Chris, "sorry Courtney, it looks like you won't move on."
"Ah, too bad" said Lightning who was being sarcastic toward her.
"Yea, would have be nice" added Alejandro who added toward the sarcasm.
"Don't listen to the others" said Jack, "you still have a lot to learn, perhaps you'll find a skill that you can home in on one day."
"Gee, thanks, I guess" said Courtney.
Confessions:
"See, that's what I call being nice, wonder why he caused the shape-shifting warlord so much pain?" said DJ.
End of confessions.
As Courtney headed out on the Walk Path of Shame out of the coliseum, Aku began to be suspicious of Jack's ally DJ who maybe playing both sides.
"Hmm, this DJ sounds like he could be playing both sides, but I will have to wait on that" said Aku, "perhaps it would be the right time for that brand of trust to be broken so that the samurai would have no allies left."
