Chapter 13: DJ's Conscious
Aku himself was geared up to be at the coliseum to watch the downfall of Samurai Jack in person, Chris was preparing the final challenge for the two.
"Today's final challenge will be a fight to the death!" laughed Chris.
Confessions:
"Did he say death, I remember hearing him say death!" cried DJ who didn't really want to fight Jack at all.
"I should have known something was suspicious with this" said Jack.
End of confessions.
"The two of you may use whatever kind of weapons Robo Chef will be bringing out, oh yea one more thing, Aku the shape shifting wizard is coming here for a visit to watch the fight for himself!" laughed Chris to which Chris ended up pressing a button which closed all the exit gates to the coliseum which forced DJ and Jack to have little options, "enjoy your last fight Jack, cause DJ will be the one who'll go home for the bounty on your head, literally!"
As the two headed into the arena, Aku arrived just in the nick of time to watch the fight between Jack and DJ, the evil shape shifting wizard sat on where the Emperor would sit within the coliseum with Chris being a typical adviser toward Aku who was watching the fight.
"Ah yes, the complete downfall of Samurai Jack shall begin soon enough!" laughed Aku.
"Don't worry your evilness, I have this in the bag for you, DJ cannot possibly lose with Robo Chef helping him out!" laughed Chris.
Chris then pressed a remote button from a remote controller he had after DJ acquired a sword for himself, Robo Chef began to play some music that was suitable for fighting, namely from the Matrix soundtrack.
"You do not have to do this" said Jack to DJ.
"B-B-But you don't understand, I have no choice, when the music starts playing I have to fight" said DJ.
"But you do not have to fight for him" said Jack referring to Aku.
DJ had to fight Jack which was conflicting with his own conscious, he swung his sword around trying to literally slice off the samurai's head, but the samurai ended up sweep kicking DJ which DJ ended up collapsing to the ground. The samurai didn't want to hurt DJ, but as soon as Robo Chef cranked up the tunes, DJ ended up using his sword and charged at Jack to which the samurai clashed his sword with DJ's.
"You have a choice, your conscious tells you that you always had one!" cried Jack as the two were struggling as they were evenly matched.
"Hey DJ!" laughed Chris as he showed a picture of DJ's mother with an image of her living under poverty, "That bounty on the samurai can help your mother quite a bit!"
DJ struggled being reluctant to be taunted by Chris to which Aku was getting a bit bored with the two not really overpowering each other like he had hoped.
"This calls for an intervention by me!" laughed Aku.
"You sure that'd be the smart thing to do your evilness?" asked Chris.
"Hey, I'm the boss" replied Aku.
"True" said Chris to which Chris was preparing to leave, "but just in case things go south I'm heading my way out."
As Chris made his exit, Aku landed right onto the arena to which he ended up pinned Jack down with his claw.
"Come on, you're the finest warrior that I have chosen to defeat the samurai, now be a good pawn and vanquish the samurai with your sword once and for all!" said Aku.
DJ struggled as he tried to aim his sword carefully at Jack who couldn't get himself up as he was pinned down.
"I know my time has sadly come" sighed Jack as he closed his eyes hoping his death would be painless, quick as possible.
"No, I can't do it!" cried DJ.
"What! I better pretend that I didn't hear that and let you have a second shot at this!" roared Aku.
"No, no more of this!" cried DJ as he threw down his sword, "I will not get rid of the samurai for you, you'll have to find someone else."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, DJ you could have been one of the better warriors to defeat the samurai, but you have chosen not to" said Aku as he then used his other hand to form a claw to pin DJ down, "so now I'll have to destroy you both!"
"Jack, I'm sorry" said DJ to the samurai.
"I was hoping you'll come to your conscious" said Jack as he had a plan all along.
The samurai used his own sword and sliced part of Aku's claw that was pinning him down.
"The sword!" cried Aku.
"Quick, grab your weapon, we're finding our way out" said Jack.
"Bah, fools!" roared Aku.
Aku then used his laser eyes targeting both the samurai and DJ, they soon ran into Robo Chef who didn't seem but the least happy.
"Hostile units must destroy" said Robo Chef.
"We're trapped!" cried DJ.
Suddenly Robo Chef turned its attention toward Aku.
"Actually if you two will follow me" said Chris.
"Wow, you betray your master?" asked DJ.
"Hey, he wasn't my master, I just did it for the sport!" laughed Chris as the trio began their escape through the sewers.
As for Aku he ended up having a hard time beating Robo Chef who had its defenses up on maximum level.
"Stupid robot!" cried Aku as he tried to use his powers against Robo Chef.
It took about at least several hours before Aku could defeat Robo Chef destroying the robot completely, but as the shape shifting wizard looked around he noticed the samurai and DJ were gone.
"Bah, so you may have won this time samurai, but there will be a next time, until then!" laughed Aku.
Aku headed back toward his lair, meanwhile Chris had led Jack and DJ to safety uniting DJ with his mother.
"About time you came back I was worried sick about you" said Mamma DJ.
"He's in good health and where are you off to?" asked Chris to Jack.
"I must find another way back to my own time, I thought your prize was a time machine for your little competition" said Jack.
The scene ends with the samurai wondering off into the distance so that he could continue onward with his journey.
