Chapter 49: Jack and the Zombies:
Aku's POV:
It was October 31st when I managed to make the world completely mine. Not the same day I send the Samurai and his friends to this time. Even I can't take over the world in a day. But this day is when I became the ruler of the entire world and that is why I named October 31st Aku Day.
"Happy Aku Day," says the Chamberlain.
I did not feel like celebrating because that accursed Samurai is still ruining my empire. "Samurai, Samurai, why won't you DIE?" I then realized he was using a stick to help him, and his friends find a direction. I then used my powers to make sure it will lead them to where I want it to lead them.
"Check out my Aku Day costume," says Billy, "I'm going as you."
"Everyone has to dress as Aku," says the Chamberlain, "it's an Aku Day tradition."
"Hey, Aku," says Billy, "I was thinking, maybe every Aku Day, we could go door to door, asking for candy."
I then swatted Billy away. "That is just stupid." I then waited for my newest plan to take place.
Jack's POV:
We then entered the graveyard.
"This is creepy," says Jill.
"I have seen these in Johnny's horror movies," says Peter, "Jill will be the primary victim."
"That's what I get for being beautiful," says Jill.
"I believe it will be worst then that," I said.
Then the dead began to rise. We were surrounded. I then fought back against them. Jill and Peter tried to defend themselves.
"They are everywhere," says Peter.
Singer/Chorus: You hear the screeching of an owl
You hear the wind begin to howl
You know there's zombies on the prowl
And it's terror time again
They've got you running though the night
It's terror time again
And you just might die of fright
It's a terrifying time
You hear the beating of your heart
You know the screaming's gonna start
Here comes the really scary part
'Cause it's terror time again
They've got you running through the night
It's terror time again
Oh, you just might die of fright
It's a terrifying time
All the trees begin to moan
And the monsters grunt and groan
Rotting faces full of slime
Don't you know it's terror time
And it's terror time again
They've got you running through the night
Yes, it's terror time again
Oh, you just might die of fright
It's a terrifying time!
I continued to fight them, but then I lost my sword and Aku has it.
"Aku," I said.
"Yes, Samurai," says Aku, "now, the one weapon that can defeat me is mine and I shall use it against you! The perfect irony!"
Aku then turned to a scorpion with my sword at the tip of his tail. He tried to stab me with the sword, and I tried to fight back with a zombie's sword. Aku then turned to this version of his true form, but with legs. He kept trying to strike at me, but I kept fighting back with the zombie's sword.
"Jack, we should move," says Jill.
We then ran.
. . .
Jill, Peter, and I were then at a grave that belonged to someone named 'Makoto Iwamatsu'.
"Jack, what do we do," asks Jill.
"I am not sure," I said, "Peter, what is that zombie thing you are doing?"
As it turns out, the Undead have turned Peter into one of them. Jill then screams. We then ran from him.
Aku's POV:
This is better than I thought. I have the sword and now I have the Samurai's friend. And soon, I will have his life! I then looked at the grave. "Who the heck is Makoto Iwamatsu? He sounds handsome."
Jack's POV:
Jill and I still tried to get away from Aku and the zombies.
"How do we get your sword back," asks Jill, "and how do we save Peter?"
"If I am right," I said, "Peter will probably turn back once Aku is defeated."
"Easier said than done in this case," says Jill.
Then Peter and the rest of the zombies come, and Jill and I tried to defend ourselves. Then Aku came and grabbed me and had me pinned down to a rock.
"The time has come," says Aku.
"Jack," says Jill, as some zombies grab her.
Aku has the sword aimed at my chest. "I am sorry, Father, I have failed you."
Then as Aku attempts to stab me... the sword doesn't pierce my chest. Aku's eyebrows then go out. Aku tries again, but nothing. "What is this," asks Aku.
"Of course," I said, "Evil cannot use the sword to harm good!" I then grabbed the sword from him. "But I can use the sword to harm you!"
I then started using the sword to strike at Aku. He tried to fight back, but he failed and Aku was reduced to a gopher. "I'll get you next time, Samurai!" Aku left and all the zombies were able to rest again.
"What did I miss," asks Peter. Jill then hugs him.
"Let's go," I said.
Billy's POV:
"Stupid Mean Aku saying no to candy," I said.
"Don't worry," says some British bald kid in a red shirt and sunglasses, "I can help make sure that stupid mean Aku will no longer be a problem."
