Chapter 64: Aku and Lil'D:

Lil'D's POV:

You probably don't remember me. I was one of those kids who were big fans of Samurai Jack's. Anyway, my dream is to become a big-time musical celebrity, but I have yet to be discovered. That's what happens when you live in a world that's ruled by Aku. Anyway, I was walking when two women approached me.

"We've heard your drumming," one of them says.

"We represent a big-time record company that would like to represent you."

"Finally, my big break," I said, "are you Daughters of Aku in disguise?"

"No," they both said.

"Then it's settled, I'm in!"

. . .

They took me to Shadow Records. It's a creepy looking place with a dark color and it has a miserable style. I have a good feeling about this place.

. . .

I then met the head of Shadow Records.

"I am Big A," he said.

"What's the 'a' stand for," I asked.

"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... Adam! Let's hear what you got."

Jack's POV:

I was walking when I found a poor soul who's begging for money. I then gave him some.

"Thanks, Man." I recognized that voice. I then removed his hood. It is my old enemy, DJ Stylbator!

"What is your game, Villain," I asked.

"Have mercy on me, Samurai," says Stylbator.

"I assumed you were dead," I said.

"Aku ain't that merciful," says Stylbator, "he grabbed me before the explosion could finish me off and reduced me to this! He cut me loose and I'm forced to beg people for money! That's the music biz for ya." I was confused. "Biz is just a way of sayin' business."

"I feel that the day I finally understand slang, it will be too late, and I will be in my time."

"Hey, ya got anything ta eat on ya. I'm tired of eating rats and what I hope are bugs."

The last time I saw this man, he used his music... if you can call it that... to enslave innocent teenagers. Bend them to Aku's will. But now I feel sorry for him. That is the code of the Samurai for you.

Lil'D's POV:

"Now are you ready to make your new music video," asks Big A.

"Ya bet I am," I said.

Big A: So. I heard you like to be a star
Well, the price of fame is not cheap
I hope you got what it takes

But all we want is your soul
(Chorus: Soul) Ah ah ah ah!
Give it to me
Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
All we want is your soul
(Chorus: Soul) Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Give it to me

Lil'D: Soul? Shawty I got that
Lil D make a beat, make it heartback
Like a rabbit volkswagen or a cadillac
I'm a show you how to do a record contract
You earn it the old fashion way
I'm already gold in the hood pass the plate in all
Selling million records I can't wait 'till on
Gonna do whatever it takes 'till I'm straight got soul

Big A: Ah ah ah ah ah!
Selling!
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

All we want is your soul
(Chorus: Soul) Ah!
Give it to me
All we want is your soul
(Chorus: Soul) Ah ah ah ah!
Give it to me

Lil'D: Oh!

Oh oh, eh eh!
Oh oh oh, eh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!

Yes sir, yes ma'am,
The whole world gonna know who I am!
It's Lil D on the beat Bankhead state down
With a boy ya know I'm the jam

Yes sir, yes ma'am,

It's Lil D on the beat Bankhead state down
With a boy ya know I'm the jam

Yes sir, yes ma'am,
The whole world gonna know who I am!
It's Lil D on the beat Bankhead state down
With a boy ya know I'm the jam

Yes sir, eh! Yes ma'am, oh!

"That was great," says Big A, "you can go now."

"See ya," I said as I left.

Aku's POV:

SURPRISE! Big A is in fact, I, Aku! The boy did not notice the green skin! Then again, no one ever does. Probably because of all the aliens that live here now. Never mind. He was not that dumb, but he was dumb enough to help me bring back the Rave Slaves! I do not need that has-been, DJ What's-His-Name! Soon, nothing will stop Aku! I then laughed.

Jack's POV:

"Jack, why is a minion of Aku on Dexter's couch," asks Johnny.

"Forgive me," I said, "but he needs help."

"Jack, he works for Aku," says Jill.

"No longer," I said, "Aku removed him and now he is reduced to this."

"When was the last time you bathed," asks Peter.

"When I served Aku," says Stylbator.

"He could give away our position," says Johnny, "he's probably texting Aku as we speak!"

"Actually, I sold my phone," says Stylbator, "I had to sell everything!"

"Even your records," asks Jill.

"No one would buy anything that takes away free will, so I ate them!"

"That's just sad," says Frankie.

"We must help him," I said.

"Fine," says Johnny, "the first thing we gotta do is get this guy cleaned up. Dexter, can that new robot you made do that?"

"I'll activate it," says Dexter, "MRK-9, do your thing!"

Then Dexter's robot comes and takes Stylbator away.

"Handy," says Johnny.

. . .

I was watching the television with the Justice Friends. Val Halen had the remote. I wonder how do you get the images on the screen. Is television magic? Then there was a news report about mind-controlled teenagers.

"We better get to work," says Major Glory.

. . .

The Justice Friends and I then tries to stop the teenagers. They were being most difficult.

"Why Teens acting nuts," asks Kronk.

I then had a theory. "Val Halen, play your music!"

Val Halen then plays his music, and it snaps them out of it. The teens then leave.

"Awesome plan, Dude," says Val Halen.

"Thank you and I believe I know what this is about," I said.

. . .

I then pinned Stylbator to a wall. "You deceived us," I said.

"I swear, I don't know what you're talkin' about," says Stylbator.

"We saw some of your rave slaves," I said.

"Wait, how could I take control of them? I don't have any of my... Shadow Records!"

"What," I asked.

"Aku's record company. He probably hired some poor sap to play music for him!"

"Did he use that to trick you," I asked.

"No... I wanted to make innocent teens his slaves," says Stylbator. I glared at him. "At least I'm not walking around with a sword! Ever heard of safety?"

. . .

Stylbator and I then snuck into Shadow Records. We saw a child drumming for a disguised Aku.

"So, Big A, when can I meet my fans," asks the child.

"When I no longer need you," says Aku.

"What," asks the child.

"What," asks Aku, trying to cover it.

I then jumped in.

"Hey, Samurai Jack, I'm one of your biggest fans," says the child.

"I have another surprise for you." I then sliced Aku.

"That is a surprise," says the child. Aku's true form is then revealed. "Okay, now that makes sense."

"Samurai Jack, you will not interfere this time! My Rave Slaves will destroy all who oppose me!"

"You mean my music is turning people to zombies," says the child, "am I going to jail?"

"Do not worry," I said, "I shall end this!"

Aku then turns to a giant blob, and I tried to fight him.

"WAIT!" It was Stylbator. "Aku, you do not need this kid! Give me another chance!"

"You're a wash-up," says Aku, "I do not even remember your name!"

"But I can prove myself and I can work for free!"

"Well, when you put it that way."

Aku then throws the child and I out.

. . .

"I should have known Stylbator would turn traitor," I said.

"We gonna stop them," asks the child.

"Go home, I will deal with those two."

Aku's POV:

The DJ was getting ready to perform, but... he was terrible! So bad, my building was falling apart.

Jack's POV:

The child and I watched as Shadow Records was crumbling down. "Thank you, Stylbator," I said.
