"The Fight For the Future"
50 years had passed since the Brave 12 arrived in the future. They have done so much good for the people of Earth as well as people and creatures from other planets. They restored their hope, and many people from all over the world rose up in a huge rebellion against Aku. Their efforts, however, would never be enough to defeat Aku.
Things were not looking good for the Brave 12. Aku destroyed all time portals, removing their chances of returning to the past. But they would not give up and would find a way to return. Over the course of 50 years, J.D. and Vince trained everyone, including Jack, at a vigorous and powerful level. Because of the magic that transported him to the future, Jack did not age. They were now more powerful than they had ever been. However as they were training hard, a mysterious cult was training too.
25 years ago, a High Priestess of the Cult gave birth to 7 Daughters.
She stood up and approached an Aku statue.
"7 Daughters to do your bidding, Master," the High Priestess said. "They will succeed where so many others have failed, and we will find favor in your glory."
The girls were trained rigorously from birth, and they were trained for only one purpose: To hunt them down and kill them. There was one among them that was always distracted and loved everything, and that was Ashi, the eldest of the seven. She loved the world and everything in it.
"Rejoice in the glory of what our master has made," declared the High Priestess. "Admire its beauty, but keep in mind that the Brave 12 are out there causing havoc wherever they go. That is why, my dear Ashi, the Daughters of Aku must maintain their focus. Never back down; always attack."
After 25 years of intense training, the Daughters stood before their mother.
"Your training is complete," the High Priestess announced. "Go! KILL!"
The Daughters of Aku put on their masks.
"You are 7, but now you wear the face of one," the High Priestess said. "You were born for one purpose: to kill the Brave 12!"
The Daughters of Aku were on their way.
As the Brave 12 were walking on the path in the forest towards Aku's Castle ready to take the Final fight to him, J.D. sensed something.
J.D. gasped. "I sense something coming."
"What is it?" Jack asked.
"I sense 7 energy signals closing in fast," J.D. explained.
"I can feel them as well," Naruto admitted. "Whoever they are, they are really strong."
"Let me see if I can make them out," J.D. responded.
J.D. concentrated and saw the Daughters of Aku approaching them.
"Oh no," J.D. cried. "We've got 7 female warriors heading straight towards us."
"I can feel it," Laney confessed.
"Me too," Lily agreed. "They're really strong."
"Whoever they are, they were trained to kill us from a young age," Jessie revealed.
"Stand ready team," J.D. ordered. "Whoever they are, they chose the wrong people to fight."
They saw seven figures approaching, and it was the Daughters of Aku.
"Here they come," J.D. warned.
"Be ready for anything, guys," Vince warned. "One thing thing is for sure: these girls will not stop until they kill us."
The girls drew their weapons, and the Brave 12 engaged them in a fierce fight before tying them up.
"Untie us so we can kill you!" Ashi demanded.
"No," J.D. responded. "Let's see who you guys are."
They remove their masks and gasp.
"You're all human like us," J.D. observed.
"We were sent to kill you for destroying our master's land!" Ashi revealed.
"Aku sent you?" Naruto questioned.
"No," Ashi answered. "Our mother, the High Priestess, sent us."
"I had a feeling the Women of Aku were behind all of this," Jack explained.
"Me, too," Laney added. "You girls were lied to."
"We are not destroying this world," J.D. emphasized. "We're saving it."
"Lies!" shouted Ashi. "We were told you were killing everything."
"It's not a lie," J.D. asserted. "We have done so much for this world that it is unbelievable." A butterfly lands on his hand, and he admires it before releasing it. "We would never put anything in danger. We have helped many people all around the world."
The girls were touched by the way he handled the butterfly.
"Yes," Jack agreed. "Our deeds were recognized by many on Earth. We have helped many that were under the tyranny and oppression of Aku."
"If you girls need proof, we'd be happy to show you all," J.D. offered.
"We... We'd like that," Ashi admitted.
"I assume you know who we are," J.D. replied.
"Yes," Ashi acknowledged.
"We never got your names," J.D. admitted.
"I'm Ashi, and these are my sisters," Ashi introduced herself.
"My name is Ami," Ami introduced herself.
"I'm Avi," Avi introduced himself.
"My name is Ara," Ara introduced herself.
"My name is Aki," Aki introduced herself.
"My name is Aki," Aki introduced herself.
"My name is Ana," Ana introduced herself.
"And I'm Asia," Asia added.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all," J.D. replied. "Let's go to our first stop. But first, ntie them."
They cut them free, and J.D. used Instant Transmission to transport them to their first stop: The Dogs Archaeological Site.
"Where are we?" Avi wondered.
"We've arrived at the Dogs' Archaeological Site," J.D. explained.
"J.D. and the Brave 12 old chaps!" Rothy exclaimed with a British accent.
They noticed Rothy and his group.
"It's been a while, Rothy," J.D. replied.
Rothy agreed, "That it has dear friends."
"Girls, this is Sir Colon Bartholomew Montgomery Rothchild III," J.D. explained. "He likes to be called Rothy. We helped his Archaeological Excavation site by freeing all of his friends and crew who had been enslaved by Aku. They were forced to dig up precious gems for Aku, which put their excavation on hold."
"Yes," Jack confirmed. "They were the first people we ever helped."
"That's right, and we will be forever indebted to the Brave 12," Rothy added.
"That's amazing," Ana exclaimed. "How did you all do it?"
"We gathered the dogs and got them together and gave a compelling speech that made them stop digging for Aku," Varie explained.
"Yes, and now we stand united against Aku, and we will answer the call if we are ever needed to fight him," Rothy continued.
"Yes," J.D. confirmed. "But this was just the beginning, girls. We still have a lot more to show you."
They beam into the Woolie forest and are greeted by a Woolie.
"Brave 12, it's good to see you guys again," a Woolie said.
"You, too," J.D. replied. "These are the Woolies, girls. We helped them 50 years ago. They were enslaved by small creatures known as Chritchellites, and we risked our lives to free them."
"The Brave 12 arrived, and they risked their lives to save ours," the Woolie explained. "Now we are ready to fight Aku when the time comes."
"Yes," J.D. answered. "Saving the Woolies from the tyrannical Chritchellites was our 2nd accomplishment."
"Amazing," Avi exclaimed.
"Yes," Jack agreed. "The Woolies are amazing friends."
"We still have more to show you," J.D. explained.
They went into the forest and saw the astronauts working on their habitat some more. It was much larger than it had been 50 years ago.
The astronauts noticed them.
"Brave 12!" exclaimed Frederick with a German accent.
J.D. said, "Hey Frederick," and the two hugged.
"It's fantastic to see you all again," Fredrick replied. "What brings you all here?"
"We are showing Ashi and her sisters here our achievements in the war against Aku's tyranny," Naruto explained.
"These astronauts were building a habitat and an escape rocket to return to their home," J.D. explained. "50 Years ago we had to help them get through a powerful blockade in the voids of Space. Our plan was to be in the rocket pod when they achieved faster-than-light travel, but when the robots in the blockade formed a powerful super laser cannon, we had to stop it at all costs. So we gave up our escape to the past to save the Astronauts."
"Yes," Frederick confirmed. "It was an act of immense selflessness."
"Yeah," J.D. nodded.
"We've been indebted to the Brave 12 ever since that day, and we now stand ready to fight Aku if the need arises," Frederick declared.
"Yes," J.D. agreed. "We have more to show you all," he explained to Ashi.
They enter the forest where they had helped the monks before.
Arrows were fired at them, and they fled behind the trees.
"If you are one of Aku's minions, we suggest you to run," a Monk warned. "If you are another, then reveal yourself."
"It's all right," J.D. responded.
They emerged.
"Brave 12," the Monk exclaimed. "It's great to see you all again, friends."
"You, too," J.D. replied. "We're showing Ashi and her sisters here what we've accomplished over the years."
"Yes," Ashi acknowledged. "We're starting to believe it now."
The monks lead them to their home. It was a group of houses on a high mountain.
"Wow!" remarked J.D. "You've been very busy in the last 50 years."
"Yes," the Monk agreed. "Without all of you, none of this would be possible."
A statue of the Brave 12 was built to commemorate their heroic deeds.
"We were cursed," the Monk told Ashi and her sisters. "Bound to guard a magical portal. That's when the Brave 12 arrived. They were able to defeat us, but instead of using it to fulfill their quest, they freed us. An act of unmeasurable sacrifice. We found out there that the curse was of Aku's doing. We now stand against Aku should we ever be needed to help the Brave 12."
"Yes," J.D. confirmed. "Everyone we've helped is now forming a massive rebellion against Aku."
They later showed Ashi and her sisters everything they had accomplished, and now the time has come.
"The time is now upon us," J.D. said. "It's time to take back our planet and finish Aku for good."
"Yes," Jack agreed. "How are we going to do it?"
They gathered everyone who had helped them and revealed their plan before heading to Aku's Castle. Aku got out of bed and prepared for another boring and repetitive day of ruling.
They arrived and saw Aku's Castle. Ashi and her sisters were now dressed differently, each in a different color of the rainbow.
"There it is," J.D. indicated. "Let's give him a rude awakening." He holds his hands out to the side. "KA! ME! HA! ME! HAAAAAA!"
He released a Kamehameha Wave, which caused a massive, fiery explosion that completely destroyed Aku's Castle.
"Nice shot, partner," Vince praised.
"Thank you," J.D. replied. "Let us wait."
As soon as Aku stood up, he noticed that his Castle was completely destroyed.
"Who dares to destroy my castle!?" roared Aku.
"Charge!" yelled J.D.
They ran, and the battle for the fate of the universe has begun. J.D. transforms into Super Angel 3, Vince transforms into Super Angel 4, and Varie and Laney transform into Super Angel 2. Lincoln became a Super Angel, while Naruto became a Kitsune Hanyou Angel. They threw all they had at Aku, big and small. They shot arrows, bombs, energy bursts, and other things. They slashed him with their weapons, and his chances of attacking were dwindling. It was an explosive and relentless onslaught.
J.D. slashed him and shouted, "This is for killing innocent people."
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" screamed Aku.
"This is for enslaving everyone!" Naruto yelled.
They were all destroying Aku until he reached the size of a normal human, at which point J.D. whacked him in the back of the head and time portal rings flew out of his mouth.
"This is our chance!" J.D. yelled.
They dive into the portal, taking Ashi and her sisters with them.
Aku realized that he had been tricked. "Oh no!"
They were traveling backwards in time.
"Mission accomplished, everyone!" J.D. declared.
They cheered wildly.
Past - 1,025 A.D.
"You may have beaten me now, but I'm going to destroy you in the future," Aku vowed.
"There is no future for you, Aku," Jack answered.
"I disagree," Aku responded.
He then cast his spell for the time portal.
"What is this trickery?" Jack asked.
The portal transported Jack to the future.
Aku stood up. "Do not worry, Samurai. You will see me again. But next time you will not be so fortunate."
The Brave 12 arrived 10 seconds after Jack was transported into the future.
Aku was shocked. "You're back already!?"
"YAAAAAAHHHHHH!" screamed Jack.
Jack slashed Aku apart and sucked him into the sword.
Jack yelled, "NNNNOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
When Jack stabbed the Castle, it began to destabilize, and when they got outside, the entire castle exploded with incredible power.
"That did it!" J.D. exclaimed. "Aku, go to the Netherworld and stay there!"
"It's done," Jack declared.
"Yes," J.D. agreed. "After countless eons of suffering, death, destruction, and pain, Aku is now dead, and his reign of terror is finally over. We did it, guys! Mission accomplished!"
They wildly cheered.
"I am forever grateful to all of you J.D.," Jack said.
"No problem, Jack," J.D. responded. "We're glad we could help you."
"Affirmative," Lisa replied. "This has all turned out to be one magnificent adventure for all of us."
J.D. used his powers to make the world from the future they visited a part of theirs. Aku's death spread like wildfire throughout the world and the Universe, and everything he did evil was completely erased from existence forever. J.D. performed a powerful Sealing Jutsu on Ashi and her sisters, making them immune to the Temporal Change. Days later, they attended Jack and Ashi's wedding where they witnessed Jack and Ashi's marriage. They were extremely happy for Jack and Ashi, who had just married.
"Congratulations, Lord Jack and Lady Ashi," J.D. said.
"J.D., we can't thank you all enough," Jack replied. "It was an incredible adventure for all of us."
"I agree," J.D. replied. "Being thousands of years in the future has taught us all a lot, and we all worked together to finally bring Aku down and end his reign of terror."
"I can agree," Ashi responded.
"We need to get back to our own time," J.D. explained. "But maybe we'll find you in our books."
"Yes," Jack agreed. "Thank you again, J.D."
"It was our pleasure," J.D. replied.
J.D. activated a portal, transporting them all back to the year 2017. The simulation came to an end. They went to the living room to relax.
J.D. exhaled. "What an adventure."
"You said it, partner," Vince agreed.
"Yeah, but it's good to be home," Varie responded.
"You said it," Lincoln agreed.
Lori and her siblings entered the room.
"Hey guys," Lori said. "How did it go?"
"It was an incredible adventure," J.D. recalled. "We're exhausted."
"We were thousands of years into the future, helping Jack get back to his time in the past, and it was an adventure worth remembering," Laney recounted.
"Yeah," Lily agreed.
Suddenly, a book appeared on the Coffee Table.
"What's this?" J.D. wondered.
He picked up the book, which was titled "The 12 Warriors - The Chronicles of the Brave 12."
"The 12 Warriors - The Chronicles of the Brave 12?" J.D. questioned. "So Jack wrote a book about our adventures."
"Let's read it, dudes," Luna suggested.
J.D. read the book to everyone, and it was an amazing memoir of their adventures thousands of years in the future, and how they did a fantastic adventure and destroyed Aku.
After 3 long days, they got to the end.
J.D. was reading the ending aloud to everyone. "After the destruction of Aku, the world was finally free of his oppression and the greatest day came for me when me and Ashi got married and my friends of the Brave 12 were at our wedding. In time, we had a magnificent family and our kingdom prospered under an Aku-free land full of life. The end. This book is dedicated to the bravery and valor of my friends J.D. Knudson, Varie Knudson, Vince Pusateri, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Sakura Haruno, Fu, Jessie Bannon, and Lincoln, Laney, Lisa, and Lily Loud - with blessings Samurai Jack, Ashi, and family."
"That is an incredible book and dedication," Lincoln added.
"That was an amazing adventure, guys," Lori said.
Bobby was with them. "It sure sounds like it, babe."
"That is an incredible adventure," Carol enthused. "I'm so happy for Jack and Ashi."
"Me, too, Carol," J.D. admitted. "That was an adventure we'll never forget. We not only helped Jack in returning to the past, but we also saved the entire Universe from Total Destruction."
"Yes," Jessie agreed. "Aku is now gone and his reign of terror has been silenced forever."
"It sure has," Fu responded.
"This was an adventure worth bragging about," Sakura noted.
"Yeah," J.D. agreed. "But we don't want to brag too much."
"That's true," Lola replied. "But we're glad you all had fun."
"Me, too," Lana added.
"That had to be really cool," Penny commented.
"It was," Rita agreed.
They went to the kitchen to get some lunch.
THE END.
