The Code Warrior
A Samurai Jack/Snow Crash fanfic by YT
This story is based on Gennedy Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack, which airs on Cartoon Network. It also contains a number of parodied elements from Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, published by Bantam Books. The lyrics in chapter two are from Mai Yamane's The Real Folk Blues, the song played in the closing credits of the weird and wonderful Cowboy Bebop series. There's also a thing or two lifted out of Ion Storm's Deus Ex, which I have played way too many times. I am using elements from these stories without permission but without any intention of making money off them, either – so please don't sue me.
This story is rated PG-13 for language, some intense violence, and a bit of innuendo.
This isn't exactly a crossover, because I didn't combine the worlds of Samurai Jack and Snow Crash. That would be impossible, or at least it would be impossible to do well. I parodied (as in imitated, not poked fun at) certain elements of the cyberpunk novel Snow Crash – mostly the characters, a few passages and, to a certain degree, the style in which the novel was written; then I put those elements into Samurai Jack's world and wrote a story about it. Why? Because I wanted to write a piece in which two of my favorite fictional samurai met and teamed up with each other. I hope you have as much fun reading this as I did writing it.
Snow Crash characters are, in order of appearance: Hiro, Y.T., Juanita, Raven and Ng. The Black Sun club is also from the novel.
And, with just a little further ado, the story begins…
samurai n.
A hacker who hires out for legal cracking jobs, snooping for factions in corporate political fights, lawyers pursuing privacy-rights and First Amendment cases, and other parties with legitimate reasons to need an electronic locksmith.
