Chapter 50: Aku's Fairy Tales:

Aku's POV:

I was watching these children praising the Samurai.

"That samurai's got some sweet moves," says the drummer.

"And one sweet sword," says the harp player.

"And he's so handsome," says the xylophone player.

"These children continue to worship him," I said, "if this continues, this could start a rebellion. I must remind them to fear me!"

"Maybe fear isn't the answer," says Viceroy, "maybe try something different?"

I then thought about it. "You may have a point. I shall win the children over and turn them against the Samurai. Yes."

. . .

I had my minions summon all the children to my lair.

"Welcome, Children," I said, "I have called you here to tell you a tale. A tale of epic proportions."

The Warrior and the Devourer of Worlds:

I will take you to a universe far away, to a world of hunger, for the only one who ate was a corrupt and evil beast, a devourer of worlds, who set his sight on our defenseless sphere. But a beloved and courageous hero arose to oppose the terrorizing beast. Mounted on his sled with eight tiny reindeer, he flew into battle against the cosmic scourge. Then, the great warrior focused all his power into his spear of truth, and he hurled it with all his might. The spear struck the beast, transforming him into... beef jerkey. The great warrior was victorious, and the people feasted on the spoils of his conquest and never went hungry again.

"Who shall we thank for this heroic feet," the people asked.

The warrior removed his helmet to reveal himself. It was none other than I, Aku. And so, the people bowed down and made the great warrior their king.

Now We're Back:

"That is the story of how I came to be." That did not impress them. It may have been too complex for their young minds. Perhaps I should try something simpler. Yes, fairy tales are simple. Of course. "I shall tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood."

Little Red Riding Hood:

Once Upon a Time, there was a little girl with an adorable red cape and... great flaming eyebrows who was beloved by all, and so, the people affectionately named her Little Red Hood. One day, Little Red Hood was on her way to her Grandma's house.

"My poor Grandmama is of delicate health, so, I am delivering to her a basket of confectionery treats."

"Did someone say picnic basket filled with confectionery treats?"

And so, the mean wolf took a shortcut and arrived at Grandmother's house before Little Red Hood.

. . .

"Who's there," asks the Grandmother.

"Howdy ho, Grandma. It's me, the Wolf."

"Oh my!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm petrifying. Now, enough with the chit-chat. In you go."

And so, the Wolf eats Poor Grandma.

. . .

Little Red Hood approached Grandma's house, unaware of what awaits her within.

"Who's there," asks Grandma.

"Keep it down," says the Wolf, "come in, my child." Little Red Hood enters. "Hey there, Red, how about giving me some of those confectionery treats?"

"My, Grandma, what big eyes you have."

"Yeah, yeah, big eyes, big teeth, and a big appetite."

The Wolf attacked Little Red Hood, but she had powers and was able to fight back and then Little Red Hood defeated the wolf and saved Grandma. The End."

Now We're Back:

I finished the story, but... there was no response.

"I know what to do," says Billy.

The Wizard:

There was a village where everyone was happy, but there was this wizard who hated them. He was mean. He never brushed his teeth... oh and he was a giant. He then traveled to the village, but... suddenly he was happy and did so many nice things for them. The End.

Now We're Back:

"Billy, you..." I began.

"Maybe you can tell a story about... Samurai Jack," a child suggested.

I then decided... very well.

Jack and the Three Bears:

Once upon a time, there were three bears, Viceroy, Susan, and the Mad Bear.

"Angry! I am an Angry Bear!"

They had porridge, but it was too hot, so the three bears went for a walk in the woods until it would cool down, but then an evil samurai decided to crash in. He ate the porridge, broke everything, and made a mess. Then the bears returned home and...

"Somebody's been eating my porridge," says Viceroy.

"Somebody made a mess," says Susan.

"Somebody destroyed our home," says the Mad Bear, "Angry!"

"Can you keep it down," says the Samurai.

Now We're Back:

"But Jack wouldn't do that," says a child.

"Perhaps I exaggerated... a little. Here is a story you might like."

The Three Little Pigs:

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. Their names were Billy, Mandy, and Chowder. They were living in their... wait, where's the Billy Pig?

. . .

Billy, should you not be...

"Yeah, yeah, the story sounds great, but instead, I'm gonna hang out with my new friend, Pinochio-chio-chio-chio."

. . .

That useless... I'll just have the puppet eat him or something. Anyway, as the two little pigs were watching TV, Big Bad Jack came!

"Little Pigs," says Big Bad Jack, "let me in."

"Not by the hair on our chinny-chin-chins," says Chowder.

"Then I'll just have to let myself in!" Jack then sliced through the door with his sword. "Here's Jackie!"

Now We're Back:

"But Jack wouldn't do that either," says a child.

"Very well."

I then started another tale, but the kids kept complaining until I was going through a montage of tales. They were getting on my nerves! One story was mixing some. Eventually, I decided on a real tale. I told the tale of when Jack faced me, and I defeated him. I then decided to leave.

Billy's POV:

"Well, now that he's gone," I said, "do you kids have your own story?"

The Kids then told a story about how Jack faced Aku. They stared at each other for a bit. Aku turned to a dragon. They fought and Jack defeated Aku.

"The End," the Kids all say.

"That is a good story," says my new friend, Numbuh 1, "but would you like your own chance to be a hero?"

In the next chapter, Jack learns about the Galactic Kids Next Door. Just imagine Aku's montage as the song.
