Jacked Up Predicament

Chapter 1: Arriving on Stormalong

It was quite a dark and stormy night on Stormalong, as a foreign ship came into the docks. There, Samurai Jack, who was secretly on that ship. The ship placed its anchor right on the docks of Stormalong, and the samurai quickly grabbed the chains of the anchor to be unseen from the crew of the ship and slipped out of the vessel and onto the cargo area of the docks. With a map in the samurai's hand, he managed to find some light nearby.

"Hmm, this map here is quite unfamiliar to me" said Samurai Jack as he took the map up close to a light, "perhaps I should need of some assistance into finding the map toward this time portal in the middle of the sea."

As the samurai lowers the map from the light, he then sees a strange bar titled the Candy Barrel. The samurai then heads straight into the building, as he opens the door, he notices that there is a strange man with a big nose scarfing down what appears to be candy, along with a blond boy with him.

"Captain, look there's somebody new here!" cried the blond boy.

"Who might you be boy?" asked Jack.

"Flapjack sir, are you an adventurer from some far off place?" asked Flapjack all excited.

"Er, sort of" replied Jack in a modest mood.

"Say, who the heck are you to barge in here while I'm drinking?" asked the man in the captain hat.

"Oh please Captain K'nuckles, this is an adventurer just like you here" replied Flapjack.

"Really?" asked K'nuckles as he scarfed down more of his drink, "He sure doesn't look like one to me, maybe he should get rid of that dress first."

"Pardon me, but this is no dress it's a traditional Japanese Samurai clothing" replied Jack.

"Now you're just talking gibberish to me" said K'nuckles as he was about to leave the Candy Barrel.

"Wait, I may need your help" said Jack as he revealed a map to the two.

"Hey Captain, look" said Flapjack as he laid the map on the table, "it's a map to Candy Island!"

"Pipe down boy, we don't want Peppermint Larry or his Candy Wife to hear us" whispered K'nuckles, to which he then turned to Jack, "er, come with us sir, we'll be glad to help you on your quest."

The samurai was a bit confused as he followed the two, as it seemed like they had mistaken his map for something other than his objective goal.

"Don't worry" said Flapjack, "we'll be able to help you in the bounty for Candy Island."

"Candy Island?" asked Jack in such an astonished, and disturbing concern, "I'm not interested in this Candy Island you speak of, I just need a good sea captain like your friend over here to guide me to my destination."

"Well, your map seems like a place to Candy Island to me" replied K'nuckles as the three began to walk on the docks together, "come on, let's get back to Bubbie."

"Bubbie?" replied Jack in a strange questionable attitude, "You mean the name of your ship, right?"

Yet as the three arrived, the samurai was quite shocked to see that they instead of arriving at a ship named Bubbie, a whale was there instead.

"This is Bubbie?" asked Jack to both Flapjack and K'nuckles, "I thought you two owned your own ship named Bubbie."

"Bawa, that's a good one!" laughed K'nuckles.

"Yeah, Bubbie, she's a whale, not a ship" added Flapjack.

"What are you two laughing about?" asked Bubbie as she then glared at Jack, "And who the heck is that with you?"

"Oh, this is another adventurer for which Captain K'nuckles would help find Candy Island with" replied Flapjack.

"No, please, you three do not understand where I'm coming from" replied Jack.

"Oh sure we do, sure we do, you're looking to ask for help to search for Candy Island!" cried K'nuckles as he took the map from Jack.

"Oh, I do not like where this is heading" sighed the samurai, as he headed right into Bubbie's mouth.

The samurai sat in the whale's mouth, it smelled for the poor samurai which he had to endure. Along with sharing the mouth with Flapjack and K'nuckles whom mistook his map for some other map. The poor samurai was in the whale's mouth for days, as she traveled away from Stormalong. Yet the four were not alone, as it seem that Peppermint Larry overheard Jack, K'nuckles and Flapjack the other day. So he and his Candy Wife gathered some Candy Soldiers they had created with the spare candy that was left over. They were secretly following Bubbie on a large ship which Peppermint Larry had acquired.

"Yes, that's right" said Peppermint Larry who was at the captain's deck on the ship looking out from quite afar at Bubbie through binoculars, "lead us to the whereabouts of Candy Island, and soon I'll soon be able to have all the candy I could ever have!"

Peppermint Larry then signaled the crew of the ship to continue to follow them. Back on Bubbie, the samurai had just quite about enough of it.

"Flapjack" said Jack to the young boy, "I need to speak with Captain K'nuckles, I believe I have made a terrible mistake."

"Okay" said Flapjack, "the captain is on top of Bubbie if you want to see him."

"Thank you" replied Jack.

As Jack peaked his head out of Bubbie's blowhole, he managed to eventually squeeze himself out of it to find Captain K'nuckles reading the map he had given to him at least a week earlier.

"Please captain" said Jack as he grabbed the map from K'nuckles, "I believe I have made a mistake into hiring someone like you."

"Hey, give back the map to Candy Island!" cried K'nuckles as he was trying to wrestle the map away.

"For the last time, this is not a map to Candy Island!" cried Jack as he barked back at K'nuckles.

"Of course it is!" protested K'nuckles as he was trying to reach for the map, "why do you think there is a special black big object there? Must be the dark chocolate part of Candy Island!"

"No, this map is to a portal for time travel, I'm a samurai who doesn't belong in this present, and I have proclaim to head back to the past and defeat Aku, it's not a map to this Candy Island" said Jack.

"And I keep on telling you" said K'nuckles "it's really Candy Island!"

"Would you two please stop your fighting, I can't concentrate through these heavy waters!" cried Bubbie.

It seemed like that the poor samurai was certainly in quite a jacked up predicament, which he would certainly have to unfortunately endure for the time being.
