Everyone Deserves Help



"What are your dealings with Aku?"
"Aku said that a maniac wizard had broken free from his dungeons and was going to destroy my village, because our elder is a wizard as well and he was dreadfully jealous of other powerfull wizards. Then, when he was done destroying my village, he would destroy him, Aku, I mean."
Jack listened to this tale Aku had told and took it that the girl was gullible, then he answered:
" . . And you found me."
"Yes. . . what is your name?"
"They call me Jack."
Suddenly, the Samurai's keen ears picked up the faint sound of the bug droids marching in there direction.
"Come with me!" Jack said, grabbing Yoshiko's hand. He led her up a nearby tree where they watched the droids crawl by.
"Aku's beetle droids," Jack said with distate.
"And they're heading in the direction of my village!" Yoshiko cried in terrible realization and distress. "Aku lied! He lied to me!" Yoshiko would've have lept out of the tree if Jack hadn't stopped her.
"What?" She demanded irritably.
"Wait there are too many."
"Then what are we going to do? Just sit and watch?"
"No. We may be able to reach the village before they do and evacuate the villagers. Come." Yoshiko looked at him, not sure if she should trust him just yet, but then she slowly nodded.
"Let's go!"

As the last person was taken to the hills Jack was forced to fight off some of the beetle droids so they wouldn't notice Yoshiko escorting the last villager to saftey.
When Yoshiko came back there was no sign of Jack in the place where they had agreed to meet up. She heard a cry of pain coming from the nearby trees.
"Jack!" The girl cleared through the brush and saw a droid hovering over the unconcious form of the Samurai, with his sword laying out of his reach.
Yoshiko jumped up onto the droid, seeing before the process of their construction, found the hidden switch that opened the control panel. She ripped out the vital wires and the robot became lifeless. Yoshiko pushed the hulk of metal away and rushed to the body of Jack.
