SCENE I - WELCOME

Like any episode of a show, this starts out with showing the sun, up in the sky. It's a beautiful day out in the lonely desert. No sound, no living creature. Until, out of the dusty hot air, there came a scarlet macaw wearing a white gown and straw hat walking on a long road. The scarlet appears to have been walking on it for hours on this hot day while carrying his magic sword.

This macaw is nothing ordinary. He is known by many titles. The magic wielder, the ancient blade, the wandering warrior, and…Samurai Al. On this part of his journey, he tries to find a new way back home, but will be delayed once again to do something more heroic than determined by fate.

Now after walking for so long, He stopped and took a look at a map he took out of his gown. It's a map of the land he's on, and he says to himself. "Unless those junkers scammed me, this map says that there is a city very close from here. A city that has its own top scientists that can help me create a time portal." He folded up the map, put it back in his gown, and continued walking. Things were still silent, but as Al continued walking he sees a huge sandstorm coming. So he holds his sword and straw hat after hitting the deck. The sandstorm is big and huge, and doesn't stop until after a few minutes. Once it did, the macaw stood up but heard something else a coming.

"What? Is that a…motorbike?"

It was a motorcycle, and there didn't seem to be a driver. It was an autopilot, it looked mad, and it was comin' in fast. So Al stood his ground, let it come further. Then he drew his sword out and jumped over the bike! At a moment of slow motion, he sliced the machine in half. After Al lands on his talons, the machines explodes, having its pieces fly all over the place. Al sighed, "Ugh…bounty hunters. The sooner I leave this forsaken time, the better." He continued walking, pretending that quick fight never happened like he did with every battle he's survived from. All he wanted was to return to his era and stop the evil demon, Aku, from creating this future of eternal tyranny. So he just continued on, straight until the dust finally cleared.

"Yes!" Al silently cheers as he sees the giant city he was looking for. He brought out his map and tore it apart, thinking he didn't need it anymore and walked in. He contained his excitement and walked around. He saw massive structures, shops with advanced tech, food, and other things that made his hopes grow higher. Except for one detail. The people. Al walked around more and didn't see any bird close. All around town it looked like a ghost city or new york from I am Legend. The city was empty. "Hello! Is anybody here!?" Al yelled, before a cup on one the park benches. It was filled with water and, "It's warm. Wherever the citizens they can't be too far." He leaves the cup alone and continues walking. Still no one after fifteen minutes until Al did finally someone coming. He saw a young shaggy dog running and stops in front of him.

"Well hello there, my little friend." He kneeled down and petted the dog, and it licked his wings. "Haha. I don't suppose your owner is a scientist."

Author's Note: In this universe, it's just birds that rule like humans and are as tall of them, so other animals are just the same as they are in the real world.

The dog acts a little cheerful around Al. And it appeared to be beaten. The poor thing looked like it hasn't seen a friendly bird in days. And Al was about to see why, as he heard more wheels coming. The dog whimpered as ran behind Al, and Al drew his sword out again, expect another autopilot motor bike to come by. But instead, he sees three of them and a bird riding in the middle one laughing.

"Hahaha! Come here, you stupid dog! You're not done with my-Whoa!" The bird quickly stopped his bikes and observed Al. "Well hello there, stranger." He said, and Al replied. "Hello, sir. Is this your dog?" "Yes. I was trying to take my little rascal with me to the evacuation party until he ran off like always. By the way, are you new here? Why aren't with the evacuation?" "Evacuation? Is that why this town is empty? What did everybody leave for?" "Gosh, you are new here."

The bird jumped off of his bike and revealed to sharp metal talons. But that didn't surprise Al.

"Look, my new young scarlet friend. The people of this town evacuated here because of a virus that was unleashed two hours ago."

"Really? I've only been here for less than twenty minutes. And you say you're here because of your dog?"

"No lie about it, buddy. Animals can't be infected the same way us birds can, and I-wait a second. Did you say you've only been here for less than twenty minutes?"

"Yes?"

The bird was surprised before he shook his head in disappointment. "Tisk, tisk, tisk. In that case…" the bird pulls a power gun out of his holster. "I'm sorry, buster."

"What are you doing?" Al kept his sword up.

"This virus that I just mentioned is extremely dangerous. It can cause a bird to molt a little. Then cause their skin to turn purple, it can make you cough severely, and eventually kill you. If you've been here for that long, then that means you've already contaminated, and it's my job to destroy any contamination left."

"So your idea is to kill me sooner? What about you?"

"My jump suit protects me, and right now I need you and my dog to hold still so this way your final moment can be easy for all of us."

"What?" He looked back at the whimpering pooch. "So you were the one who has beaten this defenseless animal."

"Defenseless? My friend, my mutt and I have been fighting for awhile now. He's tougher than he looks and like you, he needs to go."

Al scowled at him and stood his ground. "No. You're not gonna kill me and you're not hurt this poor creature."

"Oh? If that's how you feel then…" the bird began shooting his gun at Al. But Al quickly used his sword to deflect every bullet that came right at him. "Whoa." Said the bird as he stopped shooting and noticed that all the bullets…went straight to the other two motorcycles. They then fell apart and the bird jumped back on his bike and yelled. "Grr! You're gonna pay for that, pal!" He brought his gun out again and kept shooting again. But not before Al put his sword back in his holster, carry the dog, and ran away.

"Get back here!"

Al keeps running, not showing any fear but determination, trying keep himself and the dog from getting killed. After making a quick zoom, he reached a dead end wall but the bird didn't lose track of him. He stopped, and he and Al did their own standoff.

"Listen, red." Said the bird. "I know we just met and you think it's weird to see me turn on you this fast. But right now I only care about my job."

"If you only knew." Al said in his head. Then as the standoff continued, the bird moved his bike straight towards him, but Al didn't move. He stood his ground again, and made a smiling scowl before he used the same skill he put on against the first bike. After doing that, Al and the dog were safe, and the bird crashed into the wall.

"Not a bounty hunter but definitely someone crazy." Al said after sitting down to breathe. If one saw that hot dog chase scene they'd pay good money for it to last. But now was a time to settle in, and for the dog to cuddle on Al's lap. Which what he did to thank him.

"Aw. Do not worry, my friend. That crash didn't kill him but it will teach him not to mess with you again. And now all I gotta do is find out where-"

"Don't move!" Said another stranger. Al turned to see another bird wearing the same black jumpsuit but no metal talons, and he had brown feathers. He wasn't using a power gun though but something that looked like a wrist watch. Al stood up and was ready to use his sword again, but instead of them fighting, they just stand there, and the other bird puts his weapon down as he makes his eyes open wide. Looking shocked before he said. "Alex?"

Done. What do you think? I know that wasn't too exciting but with Samurai Jack they made the scenery and everything go by slowly and this is my first Samurai Jack FanFiction. Either way I hope it's a little good and there'll be more coming.

Also, after making this chapter, I'll be working on "Rio (in 2Form)" perhaps a little more.
