To tell the truth, this is just a trial because one of the story’s main problems focuses on the interactions between Jack and an OC. From what I heard ninjas and samurai are opposites and don’t get along well, and from what I’ve read on both I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true, but I don’t know if it is true! If someone can correct me I’ll gladly either update or rewrite the chapter and have to change around with the story as well. By the way, this fic will make use of BGM “BackGround Music”. Just watch for when it tells you to change music and you can get the music from anywhere but I’ll also give some suggestions of websites where you can get the music from if in case you don’t know where to get it. Don’t be too surprised if most of the music is from the Megaman series.

The scene is a tundra in the middle of the night. The land seemed baron, devoid of life. Dark, cold, and full of surprises as the tundra is a sea frozen over from its endless and brutal night. Most of the life is underwater, but not all. “When do you think this cursed night will end?” whined an odd creature. With leathery bat-like wings, hard as diamond scales, sharp talons, and soft feathered head, belly, and tail, it looked a lot like a dragon! This one was red as fire with orange colored feathers, its golden eyes piercing the darkness around it. “It was bad enough being chased to the sea, but for Aku to curse it into eternal night! When is Jack gonna kick his a-!” The whining dragon’s sentence was cut short as the ice beneath his feet crumbled and dropped him into the cold water that was underneath. He quickly got out as the other dragons of his clan laughed. An elderly matriarch stepped up to him and spoke “When he gets to the demon, he will vanquish him”. All the dragons are confident in the samurai, hell, practically everyone in the entire planet is on his side. The elderly matriarch didn’t really look so old, her snow white scales and sky blue feathers portray that she was a very healthy creature despite her harsh environment. ‘Nobody ever takes action. Its all talking the talk and not walking the walk’ thought one dragon who stood in the back of the crowd. Her scales glistening a blue that could rival the color of the sea beneath her and deep purple feathers that kept her from freezing in the arctic wind. ‘Maybe I should seek out the samurai and help out, its better than doing nothing’ she continued her train of thought. The red dragon approached her and said “Your thinking of leaving this place to help Jack again, aren’t you, Ammy?” Amaterasu, the blue dragon, looked back at the red dragon keeping her emerald green eyes on him. “So? You’ve always held me back Moegami” Amaterasu spoke. “For a good reason! You’re a ninja! A samurai gets along with ninjas just as well as sharks get along with orcas!” He warned her.

She knew that as a ninja she was an opposite to Samurai Jack, but in all honesty she couldn’t care less about that. “So what! We both have the same enemy, that should be a good enough reason for me to go. It beats freezing my ass off here.” Moegami stayed silent, then turned his back to her saying “Go, but don’t complain if you come back covered in sword stabs and slash wounds”. Angrily, Amaterasu breathed a mist of frost on Moegami’s feet and froze them before flying off. Realizing what his friend had done he yelled out to her “Oh, real funny bitch!”

In a peaceful forest setting it didn’t seem like anything bad could happen but Jack knew better than to let his guard down, especially since he has that feeling as if he’s being watched and followed by someone. It was quiet for a while, but then the sound of a branch snapping became audible.

He looked around to find the source of the sound, but found nothing. He was preparing to unsheathe his sword, and heard the sound of footfalls on crumbly leaves. He turned to the direction of the sound with his sword ready for anything that could leap out. He noticed in the bushes two glowing green orbs, they were the eyes of an unknown creature. The two stared at each other as if in a staring competition. The creature in the bush moved first, revealing a large forefoot covered in purple cloth with its ebony claws showing out. The rest of the creature came out of hiding. It was a large reptilian monster in ninja clothing, including a blue scarf. It walked toward Jack, who responded by trying to slash at its foreleg.

The creature jumped back and grabbed Jack’s right leg and tripped him. It jumped back and watched. Samurai Jack quickly got up and charged, but the monster grabbed his sword and threw him to a tree. The tree split in half from the force as braches fell on Jack and covered him. He pokes his head from the branches and realizes the ninja creature has his sword! Jack gets himself out of the pile of fallen branches and looks for an opening to get his sword back. The creature tries to speak but its mouth cover completely muffles its speech. Preoccupied with trying to remove the cover Jack quickly swipes back his sword from the large creatures and tries to cut its leg, but all he could manage to cut was the cloth. The tear reveals blue scales that somewhat resemble the scales of a carp. The creature stands up on it hind legs, turns back, and swipes him away. “Can you let me freakin speak!” the creature roars out in a female voice. She gives Jack an angry “I’m gonna beat you to hell and back” look in her eyes, leaving the samurai a little bewildered.

“Why not give others a chance to talk before attacking! For a samurai you’re really rude!” the creature roared out, getting on Jack’s nerve a little. The creature shook its head and rubbed its leg at the spot it was slashed. The samurai didn’t let his guard drop, ninjas are commonly used for assassination missions and this ninja could be one sent by Aku. “Samurai Jack, can I come along with you? Pretty please?” The large animal begged. Jack gave a quizzical look before asking “Who, and what are you?” The animal removed the cloth covering its head and let the feathers on its head show. “I’m Amaterasu, member of the Cherry Blossom clan of Sakuryuus, the last surviving clan of my species. I thought I could come along with you to get revenge on Aku for banishing my species to an ever frozen sea” the Sakuryuu spoke. Jack put the sword back in its sheathe before asking “What reason would Aku have for doing such a thing?” “We were getting him a little paranoid, for we are elemental masters,” she spoke before giving a demonstration of breathing fire, ice blasts, and even striking a tree with summoned lightning, “he must’ve thought we would eventually use our powers to destroy him. When he appeared… I was only a hatchling…” She started to sniffle.

Flashback

The sky darkened and turned crimson red. The wicked Aku appeared before the large number of sakuryuus. The sakura trees that were near his location blackened and withered. The draconic creatures whispered amongst each other before Aku demanded their attention. “I know of you creatures’ ability to control the elements and use those powers as your own, so I have decided to strike a deal. You all can either be my loyal pets for me to use against my foes, or I will have to ‘insist’ that you vacate from here” The sakuryuus whispered angrily and growled and hissed at him. The hatchlings Amaterasu and Moegami were stalking up to Aku with 13 other hatchlings. Aku didn’t notice them as they were too small in his point of view. An adult ran to the front of the crowd, he had golden yellow scales and aqua green colored feathers. “What if we refuse to be your slaves! You can’t just make us all leave our homeland!” He called out, it was clear he was a patriarch of one of the many clans. “Are you issuing a challenge? Well then, let’s see how quickly I can make all of you run like deer!” Aku answered back.

The sakuryuus pelted Aku with elemental powers of different types, but he morphed into… (errr… what’s that flying thing he morphed into one time, a bat? Some ugly crow?) that winged whatumacallit and dodged everything. The sakuryuus all gasped, clinging to the morphed Aku’s leg was Amaterasu. She glared daggers at Aku as he noticed the little hatchling. He flicked the hatchling in the air and caught her, Aku’s claws digging into the young sakuryuu’s soft scales. The same patriarch from before charged at the demon with a flaming charge. But before he could even reach Aku, he was slapped away by a giant wing. The golden yellow sakuryuu was knocked out instantly. The little hatchling was bleeding so much that she blacked out.

“When I woke up only 12 clans were left and that golden yellow sakuryuu, Kinmaru, died trying to save me. I didn’t even realize the sea we were chased to was Taiyoh Sea until a friend of mine, Nuregami, told me. He chased everyone out of Sakura Plains to have us all die in the sea he cursed into a frozen hell” Jack was even more frustrated with Aku than before (is that even possible?). “Seeing as we both have a common goal, I guess there’s a good reason to join forces, but I have my eye on you. If you’re lying, I will find a way to pierce your hide” Jack agreed, but warned as well. The ninja sakuryuu jumped happily around the samurai.

Samurai Jack was starting to question his sanity by allowing the merry hopper to stick around with him. But with his sword and skills and her elemental mastery and ninjitsu they could make a powerful team. “Where to Samurai?” She asked as Jack continued in the direction he was originally going, but this time he had a draconic ninja by his side.

I hope the music I chose were good, but if you question some of my choices then you can always play a different song or don’t play anything. A little more on some of my OC’s…
