Chapter 31: Rave Slaves:
Jack's POV:
My friends and I arrived in a town. We needed a place to rest. We then found an inn, but the proprietor was sobbing quite loudly.
"Business must be terrible," says Peter.
"I agree," says Jill.
I then walked to the desk. "Sir, we would like some rooms," I said.
"Okay," says the man, sobbing.
. . .
"This is the Lady's room," the man says, crying, "it has a bed, a bathroom, and a window." The man then shows me and Peter our room. "Your room also has those ttttthhhhhiiiiinnnnngggggsssss!"
"Is everything alright," I asked.
"It's... it's... the music!"
Then there was a strange sound. We all looked outside and there was a group of strangers attacking.
"Something tells me they're not here for the rooms," says Peter.
"Olivia," says the Innkeeper, "Olivia, it's me, your father!" The strangers then attack him, but I saved the Innkeeper. I was then about to fight them, but..."Wait! They're children!"
It's true! They were teenagers! I couldn't fight them, so I had to avoid them. The children then left.
"What was that," asks Peter.
"Olivia, come back!"
"Sir, what has happened," I asked.
"Those poor innocent teenagers were brainwashed by a hypnotic techno record created by Aku himself," says the Innkeeper.
"Great, he's in the music business now," says Peter.
"Do not worry," I said, "we will get you your daughter back."
. . .
We then followed the teenagers to where this 'rave' took place. We took down some and took their clothes.
"I feel kind of ridiculous," says Peter.
"I kind of like it," says Jill.
"Let's go in," I said.
. . .
We then entered and I wasn't too fond of the music, so I used cotton to block my ears. Everyone saw I wasn't dancing, so I incorporated my fighting into dancing. I think I started something.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I, DJ Stylbator, am here to show you the power of Aku!"
Stylbator's music started taking control of everyone. "Jill, Peter, we have to..." Jill and Peter were then under Stylbator's control.
DJ Stylbator: Welcome to my show
I'm happy that you're here
Basking in the glow
Of a servant of Aku
All I ask of you
Is possession of your soul
That will do just fine!
When you're mine
Don't ask why
Every good Aku Puppet will do what I say
It's your power that I covet
And you will obey
You're mine
Follow blind
Your weakness is my strength
And the Demon's Fang
Will guarantee fidelity
And you will obey
Now, you belong to me
You're under my control
You'll do all that I say
I will choose your role!
Just let go!
Every good Aku Puppet will do what I say
It's your power that I covet
And you will obey
You're mine
Follow blind
Nothing can save you from my sinister dream
Aku has commanded that
YOU MUST OBEY ME!
Stylbator then noticed my sword. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Samurai Jack is in the House!"
The Rave Slaves then came after me, including Peter and Jill. I had to avoid harming any of them. I knew what I had to do. I had to get to the turntables. I destroy them and I could free everyone from this mad man. I had to work fast. Then I was faced with Stylbator himself.
"Your beats are bad," I said.
"Yeah, they're bad," says Stylbator.
"Not bad-good, bad-bad," I said.
"Whatever," says Stylbator.
I then took him on, but it seems that like how I can incorporate fighting into dancing, he can incorporate dancing into fighting. His moves were able to counter mine. Also, he can fire an energy blast out of the gold in his teeth. I looked and saw the slaves. I had to free them! I then knocked him down and started attacking his equipment.
"This ends now," I said.
"You can't silence Aku," says Stylbator. He then creates a giant robot out of his equipment and started coming for me. I had to avoid his attacks, but then I got to the center and struck it with my sword, causing his robot to explode.
All the slaves were freed.
"Jack," says Jill, "what happened?"
"This man faced the music," I said.
. . .
Olivia was then reunited with her father and the two cried with tears of joy.
"Now that happiness is music to my ears," says Peter.
