"The Brave 12 and the Imakandi and the Fight with Demongo the Soul Collector"

On a distant planet far from here, It was a savannah planet, 4 lion humanoid people called the Imakandi were getting ready. A shaman used a ritual to beam them to Earth. It worked and the Imakandi arrived on Earth.

As we the Brave 12 were resting for the day, I sensed that the Imakandi were coming.

Me: Uh-oh! We got problems guys.

Varie: What is it?

Me: Aku has sent the greatest hunters in the Universe to hunt us.

Sakura: Who are they?

Me: The Imakandi. They are a race of Lion humanoids that live for the thrill of the hunt. Once they set their sights on their prey, they will not stop until they either capture or kill us.

Fu: These guys must really be dangerous.

Naruto: No kidding.

Me: They are dangerous and they are good fighters too. Their sense of smell is incredible. They can smell their target from 500 miles away.

Lincoln: That is a really good sense of smell.

Jack: What do they look like?

I see four figures coming toward us.

Me: There!

(I point to the four figures}

Jack: They must be the hunters Aku sent.

Sakura: The Imakandi.

Fu: Lets get out of here.

Me: Right.

I summon our horses and we rode out of the city.

The Imakandi were running after us with incredible speed.

Me: Wow! Their speed is amazing.

Lincoln: They can run really fast.

Lisa: Affirmative. Their speed is amazing.

As we rode the Imakandi were gaining.

Lily: They're gaining on us!

Me: We're about to lose them.

I opened up a portal that lead to another part of the world and we went in and the portal closed behind us.

The Imakandi lost us but they were never going to give up.

We were in another part of the world and we were walking in a canyon.

We sensed a figure behind us.

Me: If you seek conflict, you have found the wrong people to deal with.

?: You are mistaken. I am the Dealer of Destruction, the Merchant of Doom and I seek you Samurai Jack.

We unsheath our swords and stood ready to fight.

Jack: Who are you?

?: Aku has sent me to destroy you.

Jack: Aku!?

?: My master tires of your existence. You are all very powerful foes. Perhaps too powerful for my master but not for me. My name is Demongo.

Me: Demongo the Soul Collector.

Sakura: Who is he?

Me: He's one of Aku's most powerful minions. He has the ability to steal the souls and essence of the mightiest of warriors and the deadliest of beasts.

Demongo: That is correct J.D. Knudson. I have come to capture your Warriors Essence!

Demongo pulled out a skull from his chest and threw it on the ground.

Jack: Merchant of Doom?

Me: No this is just the start.

Vince: Yeah. Watch what he can do.

Demongo fired a beam of energy and it hit the skull and the skull popped and out came a huge monstrosity with 3 glowing blue eyes. It was our old enemy TITAN!

Me: Titan!

Jack: But we defeated you!

Demongo: Yes you did and I control his essence. Titan, Destroy the Brave 12!

Titan: RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRR!

He punched the ground and we dodged his attack.

I fly up and punch him in the face and send him crashing into the rock wall.

CRASH!

Titan dissolved into a black mist that went right into Demongo's chest.

Demongo laughed and threw out more skulls and fired four energy beams and out came four more warriors. Warriors that we know.

Me: We know these warriors.

Demongo: They too were once thorns in Aku's side. But now I Demongo control their essence as I will control yours.

Laney: We fought along side them and destroyed most of Aku's minions.

Lily: I can't believe you got them Demongo.

Me: Yeah. Hardball, Shogun, Wildcat and Vishni. I can't believe they are being forced to destroy us.

Demongo: Yes. Prepare yourself Brave 12 for Annihilation.

Hardball fired a spiked ball on a chain at us and I grabbed it and threw it back at him and it hit him and he dissolved into black mist. Wildcat was kicked in the face by Lily, Shogun was slashed by Laney and Naruto slashed Vishni.

Demongo laughed.

Demongo: You cannot win Brave 12. I am more powerful.

Jack: A power fueled only by the strength and skill of the great warriors whose essence you have stolen Demongo! Without that you are nothing.

Demongo: (Chuckles) You are wise Samurai. But who cares? Bleh!

Demongo disappeared and reappeared behind us.

Me: He's playing games with us. Trying to get us all riled up.

Jack: I see that.

Demongo: When I have all of your essence I will be the greatest warrior.

Vince: Want to bet?

Demongo jumped and we went onto the canyon cliff. Four skulls fell and energy blasts hit them. When the smoke cleared it was the same warriors we defeated before.

Jack: It cannot be. How is it possible? We just defeated them.

Demongo: Yes you all did. But they are essence. You cannot defeat essence.

Me: He's right guys. We can't kill spirits. It's impossible.

Demongo: You may defeat them again and again and again, but I command the essence of thousands of such powerful warriors. Even a team as powerful as you all cannot defeat them all.

Fu: We shall see about that.

Demongo then summoned Titan again and he was falling onto us. We ran and got out of the way as he crashed onto the cliff.

The four warriors chased us and we clashed our swords with their attacks and sparks were flying. The whole landscape was being set on fire. We slashed all five of them apart and they dissolved into black mist and went back into Demongo.

Demongo was amused.

Demongo: (Giggles) You still think you can win. How commendable.

We weren't moved.

Demongo: How futile.

Demongo then unleashed hundreds of skulls and we knew what was coming. Demongo fired energy blasts at the skulls and hundreds of warriors appeared. We ran down into the canyon and the warriors and creatures chassed us.

Me: There's so many of them!

Naruto: How can Demongo have this many warriors under his control?

Lily: I don't know but this is madness!

We hid in a cave and they went passed us. There were hundreds of warriors. Some we all Remember.

A creature tried to do a sneak attack and we destroyed him and his essence went back into Demongo.

Demongo: (Screams) There you fools! There! Destroy! Destroy the Brave 12! I want their essence!

Me: Lets get them!

We jump and we slash the machine gun warrior. Lily slashed a big warrior. A Mummy warrior threw ninja stars at us and Fu grabbed them and threw them back and destroyed him.

We ran and slashed as many warriors as possible. It was a fierce battle. We destroyed lots of warriors at a rapid level.

Demongo: Yes! Yes! Fight! Fight! (Evil Laughter)

We were getting nowhere fast as they all just kept on coming. The odds were not stacked well in our favor. But we were persistent.

Me: Geez there's just no end to these guys!

Fu: Yeah!

Lincoln: They just keep on coming!

Me: I know what Demongo is trying to do. He's trying to wear us down to the point of exhaustion by having us fight hundreds of warriors all at once.

Laney: He sure is clever.

Jack: Yes.

Jessie: We can't let Demongo do this anymore.

Laney: Yeah. But how do we stop him?

Me: We have to free the essence!

Jack: Trapped Essence! Without essence Demongo has no power.

Me: We have to free it somehow.

Lily: But how?

We saw the essence go in him.

Jack: From within. How do we get inside?

Wildcat tried to attack and Jack slashed him and Wildcat dissolved.

Jack grabbed the essence and went towards Demongo.

Demongo: Wha? [Demongo saw this] Impossible!

Jack went inside and he was in a pocket dimension inside Demongo. It was a dimension full of all the essence of the warriors Demongo has stolen over the years and they all made him strong. The warriors were trapped in a ring of blue fire.

Jack saw thousands of warriors that were imprisoned by Demongo. He saw Shogun and he looked at him.

Jack: (Echoing) And I free your essence!

Jack slashed the blue fire ring and it severed Demongo's control over Shogun. He destroyed all the rings of fired and on the outside beams of light shined from Demongo's chest and all the warriors rushed out of him like wildfire. Demongo was now an extinguished husk of his former self and he fell to the ground.

Me: Way to go Jack!

Demongo fell to the ground and he saw us and the warriors ready to pulverize him into oblivion.

Me: It's over Demongo! (Cracks Knuckles)

Sakura: Start praying!

Vince: This is gonna be good.

Demongo: NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Demongo was history.

The warriors went in peace and vanished.

Me: (Senses Something) And just in time too.

Varie: What is it?

Me: The Imakandi found us.

Naruto: They just don't give up.

Lincoln: And they never will from the looks of it.

Jack: We got to run some more.

Me: No, I'm through running.

Vince: Me too. It's time to fight.

We charge after the Imakandi and entangled them in a chain that was unbreakable.

Me: Aku sent you to hunt us right?

Imakandi: Yes. And you all have made this the greatest hunt we ever had.

Me: I believe it.

Imakandi: It is the way of the Imakandi. We live for the thrill of the hunt and whenever we have a prey that has eluded us for a long time, we see that prey as a worthy opponent and we let that prey go.

Vince: We appreciate that.

The Imakandi then disappeared and went back to their homeworld.

Me: Well guys lets continue on our quest.

We all agreed.
