Freeman's Odyssey

Time Flies
Aku's palace
"Now where are they going?" muttered Aku
"Sssuch a wise being like your self mister Aku," said G-man "Can understand one simple thing,"
"And what would that be," said Aku "Unless a time portal, there are no time portals in where are they are going,"
"The former place known as the United Kingdom does have many, many secrets," said G-man "Such as time,"
"I destroyed that worthless country a long time ago," said Aku "Nothing but ruins including…..London, hmmmm! Perhaps I missed something."
"Then there you have it," said G-man "Only I know what it is and it is for you to find out,"
"Bah…..you and your associates," said "I Aku will handle this myself,"
"I shall not stop you in doing your mundane of a task," said G-man "As I have foreseen it already,"
"What do you mean?" asked Aku
Aku looked around to find the creature had vanished as Aku was annoyed at this and went to gather his forces to destroy them both.
The Ruins of London England
London England the primary capitol of the United Kingdom lays in ruins in which a massive attack by Aku during the invasion of 2012 as no building was standing as Buckingham palace looked like it had been chew apart, big Ben lays in the Theams river and other sites have been trashed as well, the British museum looked slightly damaged and basically was ignored by Aku's attack as cars and skeletons of people lay all over the one proud city.
The landscape is a jungle now as it had been ignored by the ravages of time, at the outskirts of the city itself Gordon Freeman explained what teleportation was to Jack the Samurai as the both of them simply teleported there in which they are walking to the London Bridge as it still standing, but barely at all. The air is dry and hot in which the sun is out, along with that certain animals are roaming about as well, overall it is a dead city that no one goes to.
"So this is London," said Jack
"Yup what's left of it," said Gordon "In its prime it was a very popular city to go to, along with many secrets"
"I see and Aku has been here," said Jack "Death and destruction is all around, a time machine you say,"
"Correct," nodded Gordon "Built by H.G wells and stored away in a secret place in a museum,"
"How does it work?" asked Jack
"It's powered by gold," said Gordon "Put in the right time coordinates and you are there,"
"You mean I can't go back to my own time," said Jack
"Well you were a little vague on what time are you from," said Gordon "Japan in the past, other than that you don't know the date or time where are you from,"
"No," said Jack "I always thought it would be simple to just jump into a portal and I would be in the past,"
"Or you would of ended up in either the too far past or the too far future," said Gordon "The science is way above your head,"
"It is so confusing," said Jack "Like your dimensional traveling,"
"It's not so bad as long as you keep your head on straight," said Gordon
Wordlessly they kept on moving, but Gordon knows where to go as he had been to London before, in fact many London's the streets itself are a obstacle course as they carefully navigated to where they are going. Piles of skeletons and debris of just about everything littered the landscape, along with a newspaper telling about the creep called Aku who did a massive attack upon the world in December 22, 2012 as the myans predicted the end of the world on that date, but from what remains a mystery.
Until finally they came upon what remains of the British museum, Jack looked a little impressed as it stands in this messy city and they had to move a few things out of the way to get inside and once they got inside it was a struggle to move about as the museum had been damaged and some of it cause by Aku, but the rest was done by debris that had fallen. Gordon motioned Jack to follow him as they are going down to the basement of the museum, even in the basement is dark. However Gordon turned on the lights by way of his suit.
A lot of stuff still stands in which boxes and more boxes remain until they came upon a dead end, but Gordon hoped a hidden panel and pressed a button as it shows a stair case that leads down further. Walking down the stairs was no problem at all and the lights turned on as this part of the which holds a few secrets has it's own power source until finally they stopped as a machine is in a spot light and there it is, H.G Well's time machine.
"Is that it," said Jack "It looks so weird,"
"I'll set it up," said Gordon "And put a gold bar as it will have enough power to get to that time and date,"
"Thank you," said Jack
Gordon used his suit to replicate a gold bar as it would be enough power and then sets the time, along with the date as he put the gold bar as the machine comes to alive and he knows it will only take a few minutes to warm up and then it will begin. His suits scanner picked up a high level supernatural reading as Gordon frowned for a moment as Jack looked concerned.
"My suit is picking up a high PKE reading," said Gordon "Considering what you said Aku is a supernatural creature, he is here."
"Then we must stop him," said Jack
"No, the machine is almost ready," said Gordon "Go, I will hold him off,"
"But what about you," asked Jack
Don't worry I will be fine," said Gordon "I'm a survivor like you and will be there, now get on and get going,"
"Good luck my friend," said Jack
Jack sat in the seat of the time machine as Gordon ran off to fight Aku
Outside the museum
Aku is trashing the city once again as he regretted he didn't finish the job a long time ago as his robot spider army is destroying things in their way and suddenly he sees someone standing on the roof top. Could it be the samurai or some fool to challenge is power, he got a closer look to see some fool has challenged him.
"Well it isn't the one-free-man," said Aku "To challenge me. I Aku the shape shifting master of darkness,"
"So let's see what you got big boy," said Gordon
A flash of light is seen from inside the museum and it died out afterwards.
"What just happened there," said Aku
"Let's just say your pasts end," said Gordon "Or future,"
"Oh really," said Aku "Then you won't have either,"
They begin to battle.
Washington DC USA
0:12:00:0 midnight December 22, 2012
It is the stroke of midnight as all over the world it braced for the so-called end of the world predicted by the ancient Myans and in Washington DC everything is normal in a city of politics and it is a cold night, but no snow on the ground as people are going to and from work on this Friday night. Suddenly a powerful storm occurred out of no where above the city and a black swirl occurred in which it shoots down from the sky and lands upon the heart of the city. Everyone in the city is shocked at what they see a large black like being had appeared. It is Aku.
"Everyone in this modern world," said Aku "I am Aku the shape shifting master of darkness and after my long slumber I come to smite the world with my unspeakable Evil…surrender to me or perish. HAH, AH, HAH, HAH, HAH, HA."
Even the president of the United States from the White House looked shocked and activated the armed forces to strike, Aku didn't get any response to any of his demands, grew annoyed and attacked the city as he brought forth his own creatures of Darkness to strike.
"AKU," yelled a familiar voice
"What," said Aku
Then out of no where as Aku was about to turn around a man with a sword slashes his left eye as the demon sorcerer cried out in pain and is shocked at who he sees, it is that foolish samurai warrior. He thought he had sent him to the future where is rule is law, damn that could me he had been waiting for him in this time, this whole time.
"So you have been here the whole time," said Aku "No matter you will die here, sword or not."
"Your reign of terror comes to end here and now," said Jack "You won't harm anyone here,"
The battle had begun between the two like it happened in ancient times as the armed forces tried to help out, but were overwhelmed by Aku's demon forces and people of the city are trying to escape the scene as well, but it wasn't easy. Jack is remembering Gordon's noble sacrifice and won't let him down, as Jack and Aku continued battling throughout the city as Aku threw the Washington monument at Jack as the samurai warrior sliced it in half as it split apart in opposite directions.
It goes on for awhile until Jack gets the upper hand and Aku is down from being hurt along with damaged from that blasted magic sword, but he does have a trick up his sleeve as the fool will be sent through time once again, perhaps in the far, far future. Jack goes for the final blow as Aku is about to raise his hand to do the same like he did last time. Suddenly a whoosh noise is heard as Aku is stuck by some form of energy as he bellows out in pain as Jack looks confused for a moment and noticed someone is approaching with a weapon that is continuing to fire; Jack smiled as he sees Gordon had made it.
"Gordon you made it," said Jack "But how,"
"Take him down once and all," said Gordon
Jack nodded as he does the final blow as his sword sliced Aku in half and kept on slicing along with slicing until there are pieces of him. However he still can reform from those pieces and Gordon throws a box like device known as a ghost trap, turned it on as the pieces of Aku get sucked inside the trap as it closes in which none of Aku remains are around.
"Nicely done," said Jack "How did you survive Aku in the future,"
"Aku was one tough bastard," said Gordon "I managed to trap him in the same trap I used on the pieces, I will take him to a place where he will never bother anyone again,"
"Thank you," said Jack "Now I am free to head to my own time as I don't know where that is,"
Both of them shook hands and went their separate ways in which the people in the city of Washington DC were too shocked and bewildered to even describe in what they had just witnessed.
