Chapter 2: Awakening of Aku (2):
Yoi's POV:
Years ago, my Father defeated a great evil. His name was Aku. But Aku has returned, and my friends and I travelled the world learning different skills such as combat or intellectuals. We then came across Aku himself.
I just stared at him.
"What are you doing," asks Kuromi.
"Huhh? I... I was..." I began.
"Why were you standing there staring at him," asks Kuroki.
"I was trying to intimidate him," I said.
"And it failed," says Aku, who then turns to a large, fisted creature and tried to attack me. I then dodged and cut him with the sword. "The sword," says Aku, "I have never forgotten that!"
"It is the Sword of Righteousness," I said, "it is the one weapon that can harm you!"
"The sword is powerful," says Aku, "but the one wielding it is weak!"
Aku then turns to a scorpion and tries to sting me, but I used my sword to fight his tail. I then cut his tail. Aku then turns to this horse dragon head then and tried to ram me, but I dodged, and I cut him again.
"This might work," says Kuroki.
"If Aku ever comes back, would Yoi's children have to travel the world," asks Kuromi.
"It's possible," says Kuroki.
Aku then turns into an octopus thing and tried to grab me with his tentacles, but I cut those tentacles. Aku then turns to a cobra and wraps himself around me, but I cut myself out. Aku then turns a bat and tries to fly, but I threw my sword through him, and he was absorbed into my sword. "Back to the Pit," I said as I slammed my sword in the ground.
Aku then comes out. "You have won for now," says Aku, "but in the Future, I will destroy you!"
"There is no future for you," I said.
"Oh, no?" Aku then traps us in some kind of field, and we were disappearing. "We will meet again, Samurai, in time!"
. . .
We were going through this weird realm. We couldn't stop moving until we finally reached our destination... whatever it is.
. . .
We found ourselves in a weird land.
"What is this place," asks Kuromi.
"Wherever we are," says Kuroki, "there are flying horseless carriages!"
There were and various metal monstrosities. One tried to attack us, but we got out of the way and I fought the beast. I won and we landed near the three strange looking young men.
They were impressed. "Yo, Jack, that was some awesome show!"
"I have never seen a punk with moves, Jack!"
"Word! Jack was all richoetic and jumpadelic!"
"Oh, he's prodigiously acrobatic!"
"Word! Word! But then like when Jack went all Swiss on them..."
"He was like swig! Swag! Swoop!"
"Man, right through the car!"
"Swig attack, whack, the spoiler on the back, Jack!"
"9h, yeah yeah!"
"And it was all schwoo, boom!"
"Man, eat that flugget crunker!"
"Yo, then my man just like lands all coolish style!"
"Like no sweat, sure!"
"B-but then that gunner wanna come out all ram-a-lam-a and the trashing and all the munching and crunching and snack mixing!"
"And that fat super-caga-fragilistic cystic tie, yo!"
"Yeah, but Jack's just like word, let me get some tie!"
"Grab, zoop! I'm out, Joe!"
"Are we in a foreign land," asks Kuromi.
"Yo, check this babe out!"
"She's one volcanic explosion!"
"This solar flare's blinding me!"
"Babe, you are some nuclear missile!"
"I think they are trying to court you," says Kuroki.
"Are you sure," says Kuromi.
"We would like to speak to your King," I said.
"Awe man, you don't see Aku, Aku sees you!"
Homeless Man: When you feel like you want someone to kill you
Until you are a bone
Homeless Woman: It's because of that creature
Who has a heart
That's made of stone

For me and you

As poor folk live in misery
Mouse: It's even worse for mouses
Women: He must be so lonely
He must be so sad
He goes to extremes

A sweet man inside...
Naaaah! Eh-eh!
All: This is Mr. Awful
There goes Mr. Fear

Homeless Man: Then all that work is paying off
'Cause Aku is getting worse
All: Every day
In every way
Aku is getting worse!
"How can this be," I asked.
"I don't know, it's been this way for 600 years," says one of the strange ones."
"We need a place to get refreshments," I said.
"Yo, follow us!"
A strange world where Aku rules and everyone sings! Where are we?
