SAMURAI BOOMER
(A/N: This idea came to me when I was about 11, and Samurai Jack was brand
new. I first made it into a comic, which this is loosely based on)
If things had changed...if they were still dead...where would they be?
He was somewhere. Where, he didn't know. He looked around at his surroundings. A desert, full of dunes and dunes of sand. He was Boomer, and he was supposed to be dead. But something was wrong: He wasn't.
Wait...it was a glistening hope...two figures on the horizon...
"My brothers!" yelled Boomer, and began to fly towards them.
But they were fighting. And they weren't his brothers.
"Foolish samurai. How dare you try to defeat the lord of darkness, I Aku, the lord of all that is evil! You make me sick!" yelled the strange, demon like figure. He had cornered the "samurai" and was walking towards him with blades for arms. The samurai was as good as dead.
Save him... A voice called out to Boomer. It was calm, and almost caring. He stared at the demon, "Aku", and his mind was confused. Wasn't he dead? And why did he want to save this Samurai, if he barely knew him.
He didn't have time to think. He shot forward, and tackled the Aku creature to the ground. It screeched and hissed. Suddenly, it began to form around Boomer. Icy coldness. Pure evil.
"H-H-Help...m-me" he stammered.
The samurai leapt forward, swinging the sword at the creature's neck.
"Be careful, young one," he said as he sliced another blow to Aku. "You do not know who you are dealing with."
"W-Where am I?" stammered Boomer. Something was wrong. He was glad that the "Aku" thing was off of him but he wasn't feeling alright anyway.
He suddenly had the urge to watch this Samurai fight Aku, and began cheering for the Samurai.
The samurai stabbed at the demon, but the creature backed away, and turned into some type of dragon. Its fire engulfed the samurai, and Boomer stared in awe. Was that the end?
No, it wasn't. Out of the shadows, the samurai dashed forth, stabbing a near fatal blow to the demon.
"Foolish...Samurai...Your time will come..." he said, then turned into a black beam of light and shot into the sky.
The boy stared. He hadn't quite seen anything like it before. Finally, he stood up.
"Dude, that was rad!" he yelled. "What's your name?"
"Jack. Samurai Jack. And who might you be, child?"
"My name's Boomer, and I have superpowers! Because Mojo created me and my brothers, and we were all evil and stuff, and then we died because of these stupid girls and then...I...don't know..."
"I do not understand your story entirely, little one--"
"I AM NOT LITTLE!" he yelled.
"I am sorry, child. I will listen."
"I dunno what happened. Me an my brothers were living a perfect life, suddenly a sharp dab of pain, and I'm here!"
Jack's eyes widened.
"I...understand." he said simply. "My family is dead too."
There was a long silence.
"Ever since I was a child I have been training to become a samurai and free my land of the evil that is Aku."
"You mean that one demon-thingy?" asked Boomer.
"It is much more, unfortunately. It ruled my homeland for 10 long years. It killed and inslaved. And then I came. With this."
The samurai held out a sword.
"Only those pure of heart can wield it. And it is the only weapon that can harm Aku. My father gave it to me when I returned to my homeland, Japan. I fought Aku and tried to regain my nation's honor. And then all hell broke lose. He flung me into the future, throughout time and space, and now I am looking for a way to reverse the cruelty done to my people."
There was another long silence.
Then: "Why am I telling you this, child? It matters not. There is no hope for either of us. We will both die alone." The samurai began to walk away.
"We...don't have too." said Boomer.
"..Wha?"
"We...both need help, right?" he asked.
"...Yes."
"We both don't have a family...right?"
Jack bowed his head.
"...I'm sorry...I guess I should leave," said Boomer quietly.
"No...Don't."
Boomer turned around.
"One warrior is not enough. And I am not willing to die alone. Aku most be stopped, and honor must be restored to my family. I will adopt you."
Boomer stared. "You must be joking. I'm practically evil. You don't got no use for me. I can't help ya at all."
"You are wrong. You can learn, as I once did. The ways of the samurai. We both need family...my apprentice."
Boomer looked up. "No one wants to die alone."
"Come, little one. I have much to teach you."
The two walked across the dune covered desert.
"Um...Jack?"
"Yes?"
"I'm not little."
THE END (A/N 2: Please tell me if you want me to continue. I will if I get a lot of reviews. But first I'll have to finish "Ice Eternal". Heck, time for some shameless self-advertisement! Read the "FlameX" series, by ME!!!!! YAY FOR
ME!!!!!! :D )
