The Nonsense that is Baku
Aku rose from his fiery pit to see a band of small cat people trembling before his shadow. Each of them looked like they wanted to ask something of him.
" Who disturbs the master of masters?" Aku bellowed "The deliverer of Darkness, the Shogun of Sorrow..Aku!!"
"Um..your excellency.." one of the cat people said "Our village has run dry of the milk we need to feed our families. The cows are gone, and we have no more!!"
"Oh?" Aku asked indignantly "I suppose you want me to give you more cows, is that right?"
"Well…." The cat person started "…yes?"
"HA!!!!!!" Aku laughed "You come here asking me for such pitiful livestock, without offering to give ME anything!??! Where are your sacrifices, where are your idols, where are the gifts to bring unto Aku?"
"We're but poor cats." A cat girl spoke "We have not much to give you. We have nothing."
"SILENCE!!!" Aku yelled (The cat people stood frozen in fear with their fur standing on end.) "To come here without offering the gifts of Aku is unacceptable. I should cast all of you into the Pit of Hate right NOW!!!"
The cat people cowered in fear, and shielded their eyes from Aku.
"Look!!" Aku smiled in delight "Look at how you cower before Aku. I love it!! You seem to show fear and respect, which is pitiful, but still enough to grant you your request!"
The Cat people then looked up at Aku and smiled.
"Oh thank you!!" the cat girl said "Oh great Aku..you are just and fair…and.."
"BUT!!!!!….." Aku yelled "If I am to give you the cows you demand; I too demand something in return. You will build shrines of me, and worship me, and omit the 'Aku Vigil' at least fourteen times a day!! And you must show your gratitude; otherwise..your cows will be no more!!!"
"Yes Aku!" the cat guy said "We will."
"Good." Aku replied "Now….GO!!!!!!!!!!"
When Aku yelled, the cats ran away, screeching like the scared cats they were. Aku just stood there laughing as he always did.
"Worthless creatures!!" he sneered "Every time they come to see Aku, they always are "I want this", and "I am not worthy!!" BAH!!!!! I am tired of being sucked up to by these miserable beings I rule over!! They always ask for something from the Great Aku!! And yet, even when I grant them the request…they still look up to that fool of a warrior.. Samurai Jack!!!"
Aku pulls down a poll chart with his name and Jack's on it. He then uses a pointer.
"As is shown here!! Last year, my popularity was up to a great 75%!!" Aku said (He then flipped the page over.) "But now..it's been reduced to a meer 25%!! And Samurai Jack is all the way up to 75% NOW!!!"
Aku grits his teeth and breaks his pointer in half.
"Insolent and ungrateful beings!!" Aku snapped "I give them what they want, and ask little in return!! Why then do they despise the Great Aku; and honor the miserable Samurai Jack more!??! Why do they seek to have that Samurai end my life!???!"
Aku then stroked his beard stubble.
"I must think of a way to prevent these further Samurai threats. But I've done so many. How can I think of more?" Aku thought to himself.
At that moment, some strange lights flashed. Aku shielded his eyes, and saw a dark figure stand before him. Same height, and same shadow.
"Who?" Aku asked "…Are You?"
A voice then rang; but to Aku's surprise, and discontent, it was a familiar voice, a voice he did NOT want to hear.
"D'uh!!! Greeting's o' brother of mine! It is I ….. the Master of Miso Soup. The Deliverer of Pizza, the Shogun of Sushi….." the shadow yelled.
"AGH!" Aku snarled "It cannot BE!!!"
The shadow revealed itself, and looked similar to Aku.
Well, sort of. See, this figure was about the same height, but had different features. First off, the shadow's antlers (The ones Aku had), were actually titled in different directions. The top faced up, the bottom faced down. The eyes were the same. Kind of, as they were half shut and had a dim appearance to them. And the mouth looked the same, almost. Instead of fangs, buck teeth stuck out. And instead of a beard, a long tongue hung low.
The Shadow revealed himself to be…..
"Baku.." The shadow said dimly. (Sounding rather stupid.)
"BAKU!!" Aku yelled "My brother!! What are YOU doing here?"
"D'uh, I came to say 'hi' oh dearest brother of mine. ^__^" Baku said dimly.
"NO!!" Aku yelled "You were locked away in the 'Pit of Ignorance'!!! How did YOU escape!??"
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…….." Baku began. (Rolling his dim eyes back and forth, and looking at his forehead for answers.) "Ummmmmm ….. I dunno. ^_^"
"Gergh!!" Aku growled "You FORGOT!??"
Baku shook his head violently. "Yep. Yep. Yep. ^_^" he replied.
"Impossible!!" Aku yelled "Anyone of your idiotic caliber can NEVER escape the 'Pit of Ignorance'. It's just as hard to escape as 'The Pit of Hate!'"
"Gimme a hug. ^__^" Baku smiled.
"Eh …. NO!!!!!!!" Aku shouted!!
"Huggie time. ^__^" Baku replied.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" Aku yelled.
"C'mon. Huggies. ^__^" Baky replied. (Opening his arms to Aku.)
"AWAY YOU IMBECILE!!" Aku belowed.
Too late. Baku sprang forward and hugged his brother, smiling sappily. Aku frowned and grimaced angrily.
"D'uh, it's good to see you o' brother of mine!! Kissies!!" Baku replied. (He then licked the side of Aku with his long tongue.)
"BBLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Aku roared. (He then punched Baku in the face, sending him flying and crashing into the cave wall. Baku came back up and giggled.
"Hee hee hee!" Baku chuckled. "You're funny. ^_^"
"And you are annoying." Aku growled.
"So whatchya been up to bro?" Baku asked.
"Same thing as always." Aku sneered "Infesting this horrendous planet with my evil."
"Cool. ^_^" Baku smiled "Can I join you?"
"No." Aku replied.
"Can I?" Baku asked again.
"No." Aku replied.
"Please?" Baku asked.
"no" Aku replied.
"Please." Baku asked yet again.
"No.!" Aku yelled.
"Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please." Baku replied over and over again hopping up and down.
"NNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Aku yelled, and then trying to hit Baku "Why are you annoying ME!???!"
"Because I love you. ^__^" Baku said.
"I hate "Love" Aku sneered "Now that you are out of the Pit of Ignorance, my life is being more stressful ten fold."
"Why bro?" Baku asked.
"As if your tiny simple mind would understand." Aku sneered "But I'll tell you anyway. For centuries, I dominated this miserable little planet. Every human and creature trembled before my wrath. And before that, there was only one human who dared defy me. The Samurai they call Jack! Samurai Jack!! With a magic sword, he nearly ended my life and reign; until, I tore open a portal in time, and flung him into the future, as is now the present!! Now, the people hear tales of the Samurai's feats, and even the near destruction of me by his sword. I have lost much respect and fear from the people, as they now live in hope that the Samurai will finally end my life, and go back in time to undo the Evil that is Aku!!"
"……………………….." Baku just stared blankly at Aku.
"I knew it." Aku muttered "You're too simple minded to understand my story."
"Oh uh, I understand it." Baku replied smiling "But uh, tell me again about the party with the baby duckies again."
"What ducks?" Aku asked impatiently.
"There were duckies in your story." Baku said.
"No there wasn't." Aku muttered under his breath.
"I like duckies. ^_^" Baku smiled.
"Shut up." Aku snarled "My story was TRYING to tell you about a man named 'Jack' who has been attempting to end my life!! Do you understand that at all?!?"
"What's this gotta do with the duckies again?" Baku asked.
"NOTHING!!" Aku yelled "Someone named 'Jack' is trying to kill me!!"
"A duckie's gonna kill you Aku?" Baku asked.
"NO DUCKS!!" Aku yelled "NO DUCKS AT ALL!!!! A MAN… M-A-N, IS TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!! HIS NAME, IS JACK!!! A MAN, NOT A STUPID DUCK!!"
"ooooooooohhhhhhhh." Baku said.
"Finally." Aku muttered.
"Did the duckies tell 'Jack' to kill you?" Baku asked.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Aku yelled in extreme frustration.
But before Aku was ready to strangle Baku in extreme submission, Baku, somewhat, go the message.
"Oh, no duckies then?" Baku asked.
"ergh…" Aku mutterd "Yes."
"Oh." Baku said "I like em tho.'"
"So I suppose being stuck in the Pit of Ignorance has not given you enough time to think." Aku said "Which actually was the full 90 % of your life. Very well then, why don't I show you just what my nemesis is, and why he is a threat to me. Follow me brother."
"Okee dokey. ^_^" Baku smiled.
So Aku led his brother into the depths of his domain. He led him down a long stairwell into a deep dark fiery area. Surrounding the area were strange and scary statues. In the center of the room was a large round well filled with purple liquids.
"We goin' swimming?" Baku asked.
"THIS.." Aku explained "…Is 'The Pond of the Past'. Here I look back into the past, and remember how I came into law.":
"Can we swim in it?" Baku asked.
"NO IDIOT!!" Aku yelled "This is a sacred pond, where you view the past. Don't you even dare stick a…."
"CANNONBALL!!!!!" Baku yelled. (He then jumped into the pond, splashing Aku with purple water. Baku then splashed the water around with his arms.) "Hee hee hee!!!! FUN!! ^__^"
Aku then grabbed Baku by his antlers, and flung him onto the ground.
"YOU IDIOTIC INFIDEL!!" Aku yelled "Just stand by me, and DO NOT jump back in!!! Just LOOK in the pond!!!"
"Oh … okay." Baku said. "But can we swim in it later?"
"NO!!" Aku yelled "Just PLEASE, shut up and look in this pond!"
"Oh." Baku replied.
So Aku, raised his mighty hands and waved them over the pool. Baku stared blankly into it. Soon, the pond rippled strangely, which looked interesting to Baku. (But then again, string fascinated Baku just as much.) Soon, two images appeared in the pond as they ran across the plains. They were that of Samurai Jack, and his friend, the Scotsman.
"THAT…" Aku sneered "Is my fool nemesis, SAMURAI JACK!!"
"Oh….." Baku replied "Gee. He sure is fat, and bald. He's also wearing a skirt. Heh heh. ^_^"
"NO!!!" Aku yelled "That's that fool Scottsman he traveled with. (Pointing to the correct image of Jack.) THAT…..is Samurai Jack!!"
Baku took a closer look into the pool; and saw Jack.
"Oh." Baku replied "You mean the guy in a dress?"
"It is NOT a dress." Aku replied "It's a robe. And pay attention. THIS is the present age of the Samurai. Note how he runs, and how he carries that magic sword. That stare, that sneer, that figure; it shows what determination he has to try and destroy me."
"He has girly hair." Baku smiled.
"LOOK!!" Aku sneered "I am TRYING to make a point to you!!"
"That your enemy's a girly man?" Baku asked.
"NO!!!" Aku yelled "ALRIGHT!! I'm taking you back further into the past to see how dangerous he really is!! May your sponge like head actually try and absorb!!"
Aku then waved his hands over the pool. The water rippled again. Soon, another image appeared. It was the tall proud image of Jack's father from the past.
"Who's the old guy?" Baku asked.
"Jack's father." Aku sneered "The fool who imprisoned me in the Pit of Hate many centuries back! When I was freed from that Pit, I took my revenge. Now look harder."
Soon, another image appeared. It was that of the smaller kid version of Samurai Jack, with his mother and father in the palace complex of Japan.
"You see…" Aku sneered "That Samurai came from a real noble bloodline, in which his father fought me. And there. (Pointing to the family's sacred sword.) there is the sacred sword that was used against me. No other force could destroy me except that sword!!"
"The big pointy thing?" Baku asked dimly.
"SIGH. Yes." Aku sneered "Three monks created this magical sword, which could cut through my evil. But low, after many years of suffering in the Pit of Hate, I came again to end this!!"
Soon, the image in the pond changed into a huge tree where Aku was imprisoned. The moon which freed him soon came into view, and the tree broke releasing Aku. The image then changed to Aku's attack on Jack's town. It showed the young version of Jack watching in horror as Aku held Jack's father in his clutches. Jack's mother then grabbed the sword and Jack to a boat where they escaped. The image showed the tall image of Aku laughing loudly with flames surrounding him and Jack's father in his clutches.
"Gee Aku. You sure look happy there!! Looks like everybody had fun. ^_^" Baku smiled.
"NOT everyone." Aku sneered "As soon as Jack went away, I enslaved the village, and forced them to mine for precious energy crystals, and to build more images in my likeness. I demoted that once proud emperor, into a lowly mine worker, who slaved for hours pushing my statue. And then, the Samurai finally came, and TRIED to liberate his people. But….."
The image then changed to that of the adult version of Samurai Jack confronting Aku in his lair. The action ensued as Jack swung his sword at Aku, as Aku kept changing into different animals. When Aku was near defeat by Jack's sword, Aku then opened his mouth, revealing the time portal which transported Jack into the future. The very far future.
"So, to save myself from the Samurai's victory, I flung him into the future. And from learning where he honed his skills from this pond, I then set my conquest out further, destroying all towns and mentors he learned from. Now the fool seeks to return to the past as he has been trying for many years." Aku said.
Numerous images of Jack fighting and destroying Aku's numerous robots and minions. All the situations Jack was in, were soon got out of.
"The Samurai has eluded me and my numerous creations for so many years. He has even been so close to me, and had almost done me in as well. My reign is still being threatened by the Samurai's presence." Aku growled.
The images then faded from the pond. Aku then faced Baku.
"NOW do you see what a threat to me and my reign he is!?" Aku said "And you will be threatened to by him. He is cunning, swift, and strong. Too many times he has eluded me and nearly destroyed me."
"Ohhhhhh…" Baku said "So ummmmmmmmmmm ……… when do we get him?"
"What do you mean WE!?!" Aku asked angrily "You're not going after him!"
"Aww gee Aku. I wanna help." Baku said.
"You're too simple minded to even use your powers (If any.) I must still think of ways to rid myself of my strangely powerful nemesis." Aku sneered "And YOU my brother, would never be a help to me at all."
"Oh, okay then." Baku said "You have fun trying to kill him. I wanna go into the fridge and see if you have any chips. ^_^"
"I don't have any." Aku said "And I'd prefer it if you weren't here!!"
"Okay. Can I swim now?" Baku asked.
"What…NO!!!" Aku yelled.
"SWIM TIME!!!" Baku yelled.
Baku then jumped back into the 'Pond of the Past', splashing Aku again. Baku began splashing around.
"Weeeeeeee!! Beach ball Aku!! Wanna beach ball!! ^_^" Baku smiled.
"AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Aku yelled "Why am I always cursed with annoyances!!!!??"
Aku rose from his fiery pit to see a band of small cat people trembling before his shadow. Each of them looked like they wanted to ask something of him.
" Who disturbs the master of masters?" Aku bellowed "The deliverer of Darkness, the Shogun of Sorrow..Aku!!"
"Um..your excellency.." one of the cat people said "Our village has run dry of the milk we need to feed our families. The cows are gone, and we have no more!!"
