Chapter 20: The Daughters of Aku:
Aku's POV:
The Daughters of Aku. members of a cult dedicated to serving me. They worship the ground I... well, I wouldn't say walk... I'm not even sure what I do. Anyway, Avi is the planner. She strategizes her attacks. Ami prefers to attack without mercy. Aki is very unstable. Ani is pure anger in the form of a girl. Ali is paranoid. Ari is more of the emo type. Ashi is the oldest. They are the perfect weapons against the Samurai. "Go, Daughters of Aku! Go and destroy the Samurai!" They then leave.
Jack's POV:
Jill, Peter, and I were walking through a forest.
"If we do go back in time," says Peter, "will we be able to fix all of this."
"We must have hope," I said.
"Wait," says Jill, "do any of you hear that?"
Then seven women with strange faces come. Probably more robots. "I have this." I then fought them. One of them showed no mercy in trying to kill me while another one laughed like a maniac. I then cut one, but then I saw something on my sword. "We have to retreat!" We then left.
"Ashi, are you okay," asks one.
"Yeah, he didn't cut me that badly," says the one known as Ashi.
. . .
"Jack, what was that about," asks Jill.
I then showed them my blade and the blood on it.
"Is that blood," asks Peter.
"They are not machines," I said, "they are living human beings."
"And you can't slice humans," says Jill.
"It goes against everything I stand for," I said, "we have to find another way to defeat them."
Ashi's POV:
My sisters and I have been trained to kill all enemies of Aku and we will kill this samurai and his followers... once we find them.
"We need to think this through," says Avi, "think like the Samurai..."
"He cut Ashi," says Ani, "I say we turn him in-side-out!"
"He might be watching us right now," says Ali, "he might know what we're planning!"
"I say we blow something up," says Aki.
"I say we just find the Samurai and kill him," says Ami.
"Whatever," says Ari.
"Enough," I said, "Avi, think of a plan!"
"Yes, Ashi."
"The Samurai will not escape from us," I said.
Jack's POV:
We were trying to avoid those warrior women.
"Why were they dressed in all black," asks Peter, "and those masks."
"Wait," says Jill, "Aku has ruled the world for centuries, right? What if... they are part of some kind of cult that worships Aku? I mean, there might be some people who think he's a God or something."
"That could be it," I said. We then heard something. "We have to keep moving."
The warriors came. "You are no match for the Daughters of Aku! We will destroy you for the crimes you have committed!"
"You are all troubled," I said.
We then fought them.
"Aku is an evil monster," says Peter.
"Lies," says the merciless one.
"He has turned the world into a nightmare," says Jill.
"Aku created the world," says the insane one.
"We have to move," I said. We then left.
Ashi's POV:
They left as Avi predicted. "Now they just have to fall for our trap," says Avi.
"Good," I said.
Jack's POV:
We ran until we were next to a tree, but then we fell down a hole and the tree... was really Aku's rock creature.
"You will get your payment, Schnitzel," says Ashi, "you may go."
"Raddah." The rock creature then left.
"Now we can kill you in the name of Aku," says Ashi.
"Wait," says the planner, "you gloated before I can seal the trap!"
"Uh-oh," says Ashi.
I then jumped out and I was surrounded by the Daughters of Aku. They attacked and I kept dodging, tricking them into attacking each other. One point, the merciless one gets out an ax and when I dodged, she almost chopped Ashi, but then I saved Ashi and when her mask fell off, for a moment, Ashi and I looked at each other.
"Jack, we should go now," says Jill.
Jill, Peter, and I then left. The Daughters were too damaged to come after us.
. . .
"Jack, are you okay," asks Jill.
"Huhh? Yes, I am fine," I said. "I am fine."
Ashi's POV:
I was thinking about the Samurai as Lord Aku was yelling at us.

Ashi is actually the reincarnation of Suijin, the Shinto God of Water. Ashi is basically the Past Life of Tommy Pickles. In the next chapter, Jack and his friends discover a vampire rabbit.
