Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
(Author's Note: Greetings everybody I have a special chapter for you introducing some new characters from Samurai Jack Season 5. I already did some foreshadowing of in a chapter a while back and now here they are. Enjoy!)
In the secret lair, Demongo was in his quarters going through the souls in his collection, when he heard a knock on his door. He opened it and was greeted by a ninja minion of Aku. The minion pulled out a red scroll and began to read it.
"The Master of Masters wishes to have an audience with Demongo the Soul Collector to talk business and discuss the future."
"Aku...seeks an audience with me. Very well then I will go at once. I just have to attend to a couple of quick matters first." Said Demongo.
The minion nodded his head and walked off. As soon as he was gone a panicked look appeared on Demongo's face. The soul collector was nervous about seeing his former master. Aku could simply being calling Demongo to his lair to punish him for something like past failures or for not seeking him out and reporting to him sooner. Demongo needed to get someone to put in a good word for him with Aku and luckily he knew just the person. Chi. The dark being flew off down a hallway and several minutes later he found Chi in a break room with Nyx, Ying, Samantha, Alcor, and Nyx's piglets. Demongo flew up to Chi and bowed to her.
"Oh great and generous Princess Chi. I your humble servant have a request that only you can do."
"And what exactly is that?" Asked Chi raising a fiery eyebrow.
"Your...father has summoned me for an audience at his palace and I was wondering if you could put in a good word for me." Said Demongo as he looked at Chi.
The soul collector expected Chi to tease him or make him do some kind of embarrassing and demeaning task to earn her favor, but she did something else instead.
"Sure I'll put in a good word for you." Said Chi.
"You...will? Oh thank you princess!" Said Demongo with another bow.
"My friends here will be accompanying us. I wish to show them my home." Said Chi.
"Oh course. I'll tell the minions that you and your friends will be accompanying me to the palace." Said Demongo as he turned to leave.
"What's with the niceness? Don't you usually torment that guy?" Asked Nyx.
"Normally yeah, but his got enough problems in his life and I really don't feel like giving him anymore trouble." Said Chi.
"So we're going to see your home and meet your father." Said Alcor.
"That's right. Also my...father...is also my mother." Said Chi.
"What?" Asked Nyx.
"My dad is a shapeshifter so he can be male and female whenever he wants." Explained Chi.
"Doesn't that get confusing?" Asked Samantha.
"No not really. I'm used to it." Said Chi.
"Well were going to see a cool castle, so this'll be awesome!" Cheered Nyx.
The others nodded in agreement.
Demongo was going down a hallway, looking for Aku's minions when he encountered Bill, Klarion and Teekl.
"Hey flame head what's up?" Said Bill.
"Aku has summoned to his palace for an audience. Chi is also going along with her friends." Said Demongo.
"All burning brows huh? Been a while since I've seen him. Tell you what why don't we join you." Said Bill.
"I got nothing better to do so I'm in." Said Klarion.
"Meow." Said Teekl.
"Fine." Said Demongo.
Several minutes later Demongo had informed the minions that he was ready and that several people would be accompanying him. The minions opened up a dimensional portal and Demongo and the others went through it.
Aku City was a bustling metropolis full of skyscrapers, shops, and giant tv screens. It was home to a large assortment of criminals, assassins, and murders. The palace was at the back of the city and it was big and imposing as the master that ruled it. On the palace walls there were a bunch of robots and ninjas on patrol. One of the people on the wall by the gate was an android assassin named Scaramouche. Scaramouche was a humanoid robot with teal eyes, a longer neck, and a larg functional mouth with teeth and a red tongue. He wore a black straw hat, orange scarf, red high-heel boots, a long purple coat with red interior, and a large black belt.
Scaramouche had recently done some assassination jobs for Aku and currently held the spot as his top ranked assassin. The assassin was currently board with his duty of looking out for intruders. The only thing of interest that had happened in the last few hours was a group of tourist walking by. One of the tourist had a long pink neck and a tiny round pink head. This made Scaramouche make a funny comment.
"Whoa, what a freak. Looked like a talking penis."
In the present Scaramouche was still board, when a dimensional portal opened up a few yards in front of the main gate. A bunch of ninjas marched out followed by Chi and several people the assassin didn't know. Scaramouche decided to go down and introduce himself, by dramatically leaping off the wall and landing a few feet from the visitors.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Asked Demongo.
"I'll tell you who: Me! Be-bee-ba-boo-bo-da... Scaramouche the Merciless! The Pied-Piper of Ruination, the Crooner of Carnage, the Ambassador of Annihilation, the Eradicator of All, baby! Also #1 ranked assassin." Sang Scaramouche as he did a little twirl.
"I like this guy already." Said Bill.
"Hold the phone babe I know you." Said Scaramouche as he pointed at Demongo.
"You do?" Asked Demongo.
"Your that soul collecting guy, who messed up that job with that Samaria Jack guy and the boss really laid down the pain on you! Your pretty much used as a reminder not to fail Aku babe." Said Scaramouche.
Demongo just groaned at this. The ground suddenly began to shake and then a enormous clawed hand busted out of the ground beneath Chi lifting her up into the air. A massive robbed form with horns and flaming eyes brows rose up from the ground towering over everyone. It was Aku himself. Chi stared up at her father with a big grin on her face.
"Hey daddy." Said Chi cheerfully.
"Hello my precious daughter." Said Aku as he brought Chi up to his face and gave her a quick little kiss on the head.
"You still know how to make an entrance I see." Said Bill.
"Ah Bill, what an unexpected surprise and I see we have some other guest as well." Said Aku as he shrank down to about twenty feet and placed his hand on the ground allowing Chi to step off.
"Some of these people are my new friends daddy." Said Chi as she indicated her friends.
"You made some friends. That's wonderful." Said Aku.
"Also Demongo has been servant and has been very helpful to me." Said Chi as she indicated Demongo.
"Has he now? I'm happy to hear that." Said Aku as he looked at Demongo.
"Thank you master. I'm happy to serve your daughter." Said Demongo with a bow.
"Now come inside I'm sure theres a lot you want to talk about." Said Aku as the gates opened and the ground Aku had originally busted out of closed.
Aku lead the group inside followed by Scaramouche. They went through a lovely garden in the courtyard, before entering the castle itself. Chi introduced her friends to her father and told him, she had a special surprise for him. Aku asked what that was and Chi decided to show him.
"Prepare to be amazed!" Said Chi as her body began to shift and change shape, until she completely changed into a large black bear.
Aku let out a gasp of amazement as Chi then changed into an elephant, a horse, a panther, and finally back to her normal form. Chi's friends clapped and cheered, Demongo's eyes went wide in shock, and Scaramouche just whistled.
"This truly is a glorious day! My daughter has learned to use her power to change her shape to whatever form she likes. We must hold a celebration tonight!" Boomed Aku with a big grin on his face.
Aku then changed into Ikra and went over to Chi and embraced her.
"I'm proud of you Chi." Said Ikra.
"Thanks mom." Said Chi as she returned the hug.
Ikra turned into Aku and he split into two copies of himself. One Aku beckoned Demongo to follow him, while the other Aku told Scaramouche to set up a party for tonight and then he beckoned Bill, Klarion, and Teekl to join him in a tea room.
Chi and her friends were left to their own devices, so Chi decided to give the others a grand tour of the palace. The group were looking around the throne room, when Samantha took notice of a samurai sword in a powerful looking glass case, with a strange lock on it.
"What's the deal with this sword?" She asked.
"It was once the weapon of my father's greatest enemy. A sword that can destroy evil. My father keeps it around to remind himself not to be overconfident and to not underestimate his enemies." Said Chi.
"What's with lock?" Asked Alcor.
"It's a magic lock that only the powers of my father can open. I suppose I can open it now since my powers are kicking in." Said Chi as she looked at sword.
The group headed on with the tour.
In another room Demongo was sitting across a table from Aku.
"Your probably wondering why I summoned you." Said Aku.
"Yes master." Said Demongo.
"I summoned you here to apologize for the whole incident with the Samurai incident. He was a great warrior and I should have anticipated he would figure out a way to best you in battle. I shouldn't have punished you for your failure and I should have given you another chance to fight him. The Samurai bested me in combat several times, so I know how dangerous he is. I'm sorry for sending you to fight him and for punishing you for your failures." Said Aku.
"Um...thank you master, but if you don't mind me asking, why the sudden change in heart?" Said Demongo.
"After the Great War I was banished to this dimension. I built and established my city and rule and some time later I created Chi. She is my most precious treasure and my heir. When I let her take over my city I want her to have good reliable people by her side. I consider you one of my greatest warriors and I want to clear up all bad blood between us. My daughter needs my best warriors by her side and I wish for you to be one of them." Said Aku.
"I can never be angry at you master, but if it helps you feel better I forgive you. You have my word that I will loyally serve your daughter." Said Demongo.
"You have my thanks." Said Aku.
In another room a second Aku was playing Go against Bill, while Klarion, Teekl, and Scaramouche watched.
"So I hear that young man Alcor is your son." Said Aku.
"Well my clone/son. There's this scientist that's a real expert of combing DNA of different beings and making them I told clones. Wanted to see what would happen if I combined my DNA with human DNA and I got Alcor." Said Bill.
"Interesting." Said Aku.
"So what made you want to have a kid of your own?" Asked Bill.
"Well before I had Chi there was a hole in my life and nothing I did seemed to be able to fill it. Then when I was having a dimensional conversation with Him, he told me about a plan of his to produce a child and I became inspired to have a child of my own. I took off a part of myself did a little magic and Chi was born." Said Aku.
"I heard that Him had a daughter, but they had some kind of falling out and she ran away from home. Him adopted Klarion over there and made him, his son." Said Bill as he pointed at Klarion.
"Well that's news to me." Said Aku.
"I'm getting kind of board. I'm going to explore this place." Said Klarion as he picked up Teekl and headed out of the room.
Klarion used his powers to fly over the palace walls and he began to explore the city. During his travels he watched a wizardly old man bump into a fat man and then blast him with magic turning the fat man into a chicken. Klarion got a laugh out of this before he and Teekl went to do some more exploring. Nearly an hour later they reached the end of the city and came across a vast jungle.
"I wouldn't go in there if I was you. There's a large group of mad women that live deep in the jungle." Warned a large humanoid tigger, who was walking by.
Klarion was instantly curious, so he and Teekl flew into the jungle. They soon came across a large rocky mountain with a large hole in the side. Klarion sensed a great deal of darkness and cruelty from the opening and went to check it out. He cast an invisibility spell upon himself and Teekl before entering the cave. The cave was massive and lit with torches. Klarion and Teekl soon came across a large chamber that had a massive statue of Aku in it and before the statue were a bunch of women wearing black robes, white masks, and headdress with four horns to make them look like Aku. The women were bowing down and worshiping the statue.
"Looks like Aku has a little cult." Said Klarion.
"Meow." Said Teekl.
"Your right, we should show dad this." Said Klarion as he pulled out a small pocket mirror with red markings on it.
Him's face appeared in the mirror.
"Ah hello son, to what do I owe this call."
"Well dad I'm in Aku's dimension and I think I found something of interest." Said Klarion as he showed Him the women worshiping the statue of Aku.
"Seems like Aku has a fan club." Said Him.
It was then that Klarion, Teekl, and Him did some looking around and they stumbled upon a large cavern with a giant rock in the center. Seven young nearly identical women wearing black skin tight latex bodysuits. The only real difference between the women were their hairstyles. The first one had her hair up into a straight point, the second one had a bowl cut, third one had a round cut with two points at the back, fourth one had her head in some spikes pointed to the left, the fifth one had four square blocks over her forehead and her hair covered her ears, the sixth one had three points in the front over her forehead and two pointed curves in the back, the seventh one had her hair made up into two large points, which made them look like horns.
"Interesting group." Said Him.
The invisible villains watched as the seven women began to climb the rock and a group of the robed women armed with swords and spears descended down from the rock and began to attack. The women with the single pointed hair charged at a robed women armed with a bow and arrows. The archer fired several arrows at the charging women, but she nimbly dodged the arrows, until she reached her target. The archer fired an arrow at close range, but the women dodged to the side, grabbed the arrow in mid flight, and then stabbed the archer in the face with it killing the archer. The women think picked up the bow and arrows and used them to kill several of the robbed women attacking her teammates. The seven women raced to the top of the rock, where they were met by a robed women wearing a mask that had six horns.
"Well done. You have completed your training and have shown your worth Daughters of Aku. Soon you will be presented to our lord and we will take our rightful place by his side." Said the woman.
"Yes mother." Said the seven women.
"Daughters of Aku?" Asked Klarion.
"Well they might not be his biological daughters, but they're a huge step up from that Chi brat." Said Him.
"What should we do?" Asked Klarion.
Hmm. Well I have a nice twisted idea to us these women to get rid of a brat and cause chaos." Said Him before he whispered his plan to Klarion.
"Oh that is so evil! Let's do it!" Said Klarion with a wicked grin on his face.
The villains teleported to the rock and became visible. The seven women and their mother turned towards the newcomers and prepared to fight. Klarion raised the hand that held the mirror and a life size phantom image of Him appeared before the group.
"Greetings ladies. I must say that little performance you put on was truly something I'll remember." Said Him.
"Who are you intruder?" Demanded the robed woman.
"You can call me Him and this is my son Klarion, and his cat Teekl. I'm a comrade and associate of Aku and I must say I'm very impressed with your skills." Said Him.
"What are you doing here?" Demanded the robed woman.
"Why we were just passing by and we came across your little hideout. Now why don't you tell us who you are." Said Him.
"You may refer to me as the High Priestess. I am the leader of the Cult of Aku and these are my daughters, they are also the daughters of Aku."
"And wha are their names?" Asked Him.
(Author's Note: I got the names of the daughters from a deviantart artist named VectorMagnus2011 if you want to check it out. I'll be introducing the daughters in order by the descriptions of their hairstyles I gave.)
"Ashi, Avi, Ami, Ali, Ani, Ari, and Aki. Each one of them is a warrior and a true child of Aku." Said High Priestess.
"Like Chi?" Asked Klarion.
"Don't compare my daughters to that pampered brat. She is a disgrace to the legacy of Aku!" Said the High Priestess.
"I couldn't agree more. Chi has done nothing to bring glory and honor to her father. In fact I say, she has made him weak." Said Him.
"That may be true, but she is his daughter after all. Chi was born from Aku." Said Klarion.
"My daughters were born from Aku as well. They are his first born children and they will bring glory and honor to him." Said the High Priestess.
"So you say. Tell us, how do you feel like sharing Aku's empire with Chi. I mean you would have to split it. She would get half and you would get half." Said Him.
"We will never settle for half! Chi doesn't deserve half of Aku's empire! The empire rightfully belongs to us!" Said the High Priestess.
"Aku won't see it that way, unless..." Said Klarion.
"Unless what?" Asked the High Priestess.
"Unless Chi was no longer living and out of the picture, then you would inherit the empire." Said Klarion.
"Well that could be easily arranged." Said the High Priestess.
"We can help you with that. Why don't we join forces." Said Him.
"No. My children are more then capable to do it. We just have to wait for the right opportunity. Chi must be away from Aku, before we strike." Said the High Priestess.
"Well good luck with that. Will be cheering for you and if you ever need help just seek us out." Said Him.
The High Priestess just gave a nod and the villains teleported out of the cave. The cult began to make plans, while Klarion and Teekl returned to the palace to join in on the celebration for Chi. Klarion smiled wickedly at Chi when no one was looking. The princess's days were numbered and her future was going to be dark and violent.
To be continued.
