Jack, do you ever think about home?
JJack
Every day… My family, my home, all of it. My father was the emperor, so we lived in the palace overlooking the whole village. It was so high up in the air that it touched the clouds. I would just stare out at the beauty of the seasons changing. The summer sun blanketed the valley with long, beautiful shadows. The fall leaves brought a bounty of color. Winter was so white. And the cherry blossoms in the spring.
Was there a girl?
JJack
Yes. Many. [Ashi looks discomforted] Oh... You meant a girl? [Ashi nods softly with a smile] No, no. I was only a boy when Aku came...and everything...
Jack, I am so sorry. I didn't mean-
JJack
It is nice to remember the times before Aku. It is the only way I will ever see it again... As a memory.
Aku!
Go away. Didn't you hear the recording? Leave me alone!
Oh, but Aku-kachu! I got some info on Jack-o that's outta this world, babe!
[Aku groans in annoyance as he rises up to hear Scaramouch's news]
[bored/annoyed] WHAAAAAAT???
Feast your ears on this! I mean, do you even have ears? Like, can those antler things even hear?
[extremely bored/annoyed] Get on with it!
Dig this, boss: Jack-o has lost his sword-o.
[perplexed, then starts to squish Scaramouch] Are you sure!?
[feeling the pressure of Aku's power] Yes, yes! I bet my life on it!
[lets Scaramouch go] WHAT JOOOOY!
[Aku uses his red heat vision to restore Scaramouch's body]
Oh yeah! I'm back, baby! [starts to dance] Oh, yeah! [scats a bit]
[starts to dance too] Oh, yeah! [does the same kinda scat]
[Aku and Scaramouch start celebrating/dancing]
JJack
You don't understand.
Then help me understand.
JJack
I have seen countless innocence die by Aku. Good people. His evil has destroyed everyone I have ever...loved. All I have left now are memories. I do not want you to become just a memory.
Jack, don't you see? Everything that has happened in our lives has brought us here. Right now...together. And together we're going to defeat Aku.
SAMURAI JACK!
JJack
Aku!
[in fear] Aku...?
It has been too long! Far, far too long! But you're probably saying to yourself: "Why? Why now for our sudden reunion?" Well, a little birdie told me...
That Samurai Jack has lost the only thing in the universe that can destroy Aku!
[Aku and Scaramouch laugh]
YOU FOOOOOL!
[Jack contradicts the demon by revealing the mystic sword to him. Aku rears back in shock, then turns to Scaramouch angrily]
Oh, but Master, I-
[Aku disintegrates him into dust with his heat vision]
Well, it has been nice catching up, but I should go. I don't want to interrupt you and your lady friend. Pretend I was never here. I'll let myself out.
Wait a minute. I smell something. Something very familiar. I smell me!
JJack
Madness!
Hold it! Time out! Really. There's more Aku here besides me.
Stay back!
Yes... I smell me inside of her.
JJack
[worried] Ashi...
[equally worried] Jack...
But how can this be? I never... Oh, wait. There was that one time...
[it shows a flashback of when the Cult of Aku were visited by their god, Aku]
CACult of Aku
AAAAAAAAAAkuuuuuuuuuuu.
[Aku suddenly appears. The whole room is silent. Aku turn and sees the shrine/statue of himself]
[after examining his shrine/statue] Not bad.
CACult of Aku
AAAAAAAAAAAkuuuuuuuuuu.
Yes, an attractive replica, but it pales to the original. Here! [Aku pours some of his essence into a grail or cup] Worship me, Daughters of Aku!
[end flashback]
So she must have...[it shows the High Priestess drinking from the same cup or grail]...drank it? And then... [it shows the High Priestess screaming while giving birth to her daughters]
So here you are... A true daughter of Aku!
[horrified] No!
JJack
[charges at Aku] AKU!
JJack
[surprised/concerned to see Ashi blocking his attack] Ashi?
I...I didn't do this!
Yes, you did.
[worried] Jack!
JJack
Ashi!
[truly frightened now] It's not me!
Of course it is, sweetheart. You wouldn't want your daddy to get hurt by that bad ol' samurai.
Jack, I can't stop this! I can't control myself!
JJack
Ashi, focus! Break free!
I'm trying!
I mean, you try and raise them right, then they run off with your mortal enemy. What's a dad to do?
JJack
Ashi, you are not your father! You are not your mother! You are your own person! You are good! You can defeat him from inside!
Boring!
Sweetheart, you have to bring out your best to defeat him. And your best part is ME!
[Aku then takes control of the dark essence deep within Ashi, thus taking full control over his eldest child/daughter]
[desperate, scared and starting to tear up] Jack! Kill me, Jack! You have to kill me, then destroy Aku! Do it! Please, Jack! Do it now!
[Aku's black aura slowly starts to engulf Ashi and control her again]
JJack
I...can't.
[Jack drops his sword and stands down as Aku orders Ashi to stop going for the final strike, she does as she's told, and Aku triumphantly claims the sword! Now it does seem like hope is really lost for Jack]
[Jack is looking at his reflection with a calm smile, but frowns in sadness as his own reflection turns into his past bearded self]
Be careful.
JJack
I know. This...has never happened before.
What are you going to do?
JJack
I don't know.
[bursts through the front door] FATHER!
SSScotsman's Daughters
Shh!
But Aku, he...
SSScotsman's Spirit
Quiet, lass! We know! The whole world knows.
