1. Long ago, in a distant land,
Copy !req
2. I, Aku, the shape-shifting
master of darkness,
Copy !req
3. unleashed an unspeakable evil,
Copy !req
4. but a foolish samurai warrior
Copy !req
5. wielding a magic sword
stepped forth to oppose me.
Copy !req
6. Before the final blow was struck,
I tore open a portal in time
Copy !req
7. and flung him into the future
where my evil is law.
Copy !req
8. Now the fool seeks to return to the past
Copy !req
9. and undo the future that is Aku.
Copy !req
10. Once again
Copy !req
11. I am free to smite the world
as I did in days long past.
Copy !req
12. Mother, Aku has returned.
Copy !req
13. Do as we have planned.
Copy !req
14. Our future depends on it.
Copy !req
15. I am the lost son of the land
that you have pillaged.
Copy !req
16. I am here to reclaim it.
Copy !req
17. What trickery is this?
Copy !req
18. Aku!
Copy !req
19. Do not worry, Samurai.
Copy !req
20. You will see me again.
Copy !req
21. But next time you will not
be so fortunate.
Copy !req
22. Dude, that was bad, man.
Copy !req
23. Yo, Jack, that was some awesome show.
Copy !req
24. I have never seen a punk
with moves like that, Jack.
Copy !req
25. Word! Jack was all
ricochetic and jumpadelic!
Copy !req
26. Oh, he's prodigiously acrobatastic!
Copy !req
27. Word! Word!
Copy !req
28. But then like when Jack
went all Swiss on them...
Copy !req
29. He was all like swig! Swag! Swoop!
Copy !req
30. Man, right through the car!
Copy !req
31. Swigattack, whack,
the spoiler on the back, Jack!
Copy !req
32. 9h, yeah, yeah!
Copy !req
33. And it was all schwoo, boom!
Copy !req
34. Man, eat that flugget crunker!
Copy !req
35. Yo, then my man
just like lands all coolish-style.
Copy !req
36. Like no sweat, sure.
Copy !req
37. B-but then that gunner wanna come out
Copy !req
38. all ram-a-lam-a-lam-a
and the trashing and all the munching
Copy !req
39. and crunching and snack mixing.
Copy !req
40. And that fat super-caga-fragilistic
cystic tie, yo!
Copy !req
41. Yeah, but Jack's just like word,
let me get some tie.
Copy !req
42. Grab, zoop! I'm out, Joe.
Copy !req
43. Thank you. Where am I?
Copy !req
44. Jack, you're in the gutter level
of the central hub sector D.
Copy !req
45. Central hub?
Copy !req
46. Yeah, Jack, the most crowdedest...
Copy !req
47. Stinkiest...
Copy !req
48. Most miserablist...
Copy !req
49. Residential industrial space port
on earth.
Copy !req
50. I have many questions and little time.
Copy !req
51. Who is in charge here?
Copy !req
52. I must speak with your king.
Copy !req
53. So, Jack...
Copy !req
54. You don't see Aku, Aku sees you.
Copy !req
55. - Aku?
Yeah, man, Aku,
Copy !req
56. the master of us...
Copy !req
57. The deliverer of darkness...
Copy !req
58. The shogun of sorrow.
Copy !req
59. No! How can this be?
Copy !req
60. - Don't know.
- Just always been that way.
Copy !req
61. This I...
Copy !req
62. Yo, Jack, what's up?
Copy !req
63. You don't look so good.
Copy !req
64. What Jack needs
is some liquid refreshment.
Copy !req
65. Perhaps you are right.
Copy !req
66. Word! Right over there.
They will hook you up.
Copy !req
67. Word. That joint is the busy-bizall.
Copy !req
68. What... Do you... Want?
Copy !req
69. A few of the locals informed me that
I might be able to refresh myself here.
Copy !req
70. - What?
- Hey, man, Jack just want a drink!
Copy !req
71. A drink? Why didn't you say so?
Copy !req
72. And what you looking at?
Copy !req
73. I apologize. I am new here.
Copy !req
74. I did not mean to stare.
Copy !req
75. No, human, it is not that easy.
Copy !req
76. Please, I again apologize
for my misbehavior.
Copy !req
77. I do not wish for any more trouble.
Copy !req
78. - Get up.
- I wish you no harm.
Copy !req
79. It is not me who should worry
about being hurt, human.
Copy !req
80. It is you!
Copy !req
81. So, what do you say, old chap?
Will you help us?
Copy !req
82. So what did he say? What did he say?
Will he do it?
Copy !req
83. He said you're out of your mind,
you blasted idiot.
Copy !req
84. What do we do now?
Copy !req
85. We've asked just about everyone here.
Copy !req
86. I say, what about him?
Copy !req
87. You mean the lad who's about
to get his bum disintegrated?
Copy !req
88. Ooh, I can't watch!
Copy !req
89. Yes, that's the one. I like him.
Copy !req
90. By jove, he's good.
Copy !req
91. Aye, but it ain't over.
Copy !req
92. Lads, that's our boy!
Copy !req
93. Aye, he's good, all right,
but he'll never do it.
Copy !req
94. We'll see about that.
Copy !req
95. Be careful, Rothchild.
Copy !req
96. No worries, old friend.
Copy !req
97. Everything is under control.
Copy !req
98. Ahem. Pardon me, fine sir.
Copy !req
99. Down here, old fella.
Copy !req
100. I was just wondering if you would be
so kind as to join us, as we are—
Copy !req
101. Talking demon dogs!
Copy !req
102. Good heavens, where?
Copy !req
103. You will not vest me this day,
vile henchman of Aku.
Copy !req
104. Hold on a moment, sir.
Copy !req
105. I am by no means a demon
or have anything to do with Aku.
Copy !req
106. But you speak in the language of man.
Copy !req
107. But of course.
Copy !req
108. Ah, you're not from around here, are you?
Copy !req
109. I say, why don't you come join my friends
and me for a refreshment,
Copy !req
110. and we'll explain everything.
Copy !req
111. Splendid. Right this way.
Copy !req
112. Your refreshments are here.
Copy !req
113. Splendid.
Copy !req
114. My boy, I do apologize.
Copy !req
115. How rude of us.
Copy !req
116. We haven't introduced ourselves.
Copy !req
117. This is Sir Dreyfuss Alexander,
chief of excavation.
Copy !req
118. Um, Dreyfuss, old boy,
you're drooling again.
Copy !req
119. Uh, oh, sorry.
Copy !req
120. You blasted idiot!
You're getting everybody wet.
Copy !req
121. And this fine gentleman is Angus McDuffy,
artifact aficionado,
Copy !req
122. and I am Sir Colin Bartholemew Montgomery
Rothchild III, or Rothy for short.
Copy !req
123. I'm sorry. I'm very confused.
Copy !req
124. You world is new to me. What has happened?
Copy !req
125. No, no, no.
Quite all right. Quite all right.
Copy !req
126. Since the beginning of history,
Copy !req
127. the immortal Aku has
ruthlessly ruled the earth,
Copy !req
128. plundering its resources as he sees fit.
Copy !req
129. But it was still not enough.
Copy !req
130. He opened his ports to the galaxy
Copy !req
131. so that he might take the riches
of other worlds, as well.
Copy !req
132. Since then,
his other worldly business affairs
Copy !req
133. have drawn scads of ruthless criminals,
Copy !req
134. mindless stooges, and questionable
mercenaries to our pitiable planet,
Copy !req
135. making the earth Topsy-turvy,
if I do say so myself.
Copy !req
136. There are other worlds across the stars?
Copy !req
137. (LAUGHING)
Well of course, silly.
Copy !req
138. What world do you hail from?
Copy !req
139. But I am from earth,
Copy !req
140. yet this world is nothing like
the world I remember.
Copy !req
141. How so, lad?
Copy !req
142. Even the grandest cities were never
as overwhelming as this one.
Copy !req
143. Chariots did not fly
and dogs did not speak in human tongue.
Copy !req
144. What do you mean?
Copy !req
145. Well I mean no insult.
Copy !req
146. They were wonderful companions,
but the dogs I knew merely barked.
Copy !req
147. - (GASPS)
- You see? The ancient myths are true!
Copy !req
148. Impossible!
Copy !req
149. If what you say is true,
he'd have to be thousands of years old.
Copy !req
150. (GASPS) Astounding.
Copy !req
151. The age-o-meter dates your particles
all the way back to 25 B.A.
Copy !req
152. 25 years before Aku enslaved the earth.
Copy !req
153. You, my friend, are a living fossil.
Copy !req
154. So the question is not where I am,
but when I am.
Copy !req
155. Precisely.
Copy !req
156. The spell Aku cast
must have ripped me from my own time
Copy !req
157. and flung me into the distant future.
Copy !req
158. Time warp is highly plausible.
Copy !req
159. Allowing his evil time to fester
and infect the entire world.
Copy !req
160. Oh, most undoubtedly,
Copy !req
161. and I'm sure he plans to spread
his vileness through the stars.
Copy !req
162. No, I must return to my own time
Copy !req
163. so that I might undo Aku's evil reign
before it envelopes the earth.
Copy !req
164. This ageless demon must be stopped.
Copy !req
165. Oh! I'm so glad we agree on that point,
Copy !req
166. which actually brings us
back to our proposal.
Copy !req
167. You see, we are archaeologists trying to
dig up the remains of our ancestors
Copy !req
168. to find out more about our past.
Copy !req
169. It was only a few years ago
that we discovered that our ancestors
Copy !req
170. walked upon their legs and their arms.
Copy !req
171. Then one day during our excavation,
Copy !req
172. we actually stumbled upon rare jewels.
Copy !req
173. Aye. These jewels ended up
being a key source of power for Aku.
Copy !req
174. So he enslaved us
to forever dig up his jewels,
Copy !req
175. thus stifling our excavation
of our glorious past,
Copy !req
176. which is why we need you.
Copy !req
177. But what can I do?
Copy !req
178. With your tremendous skill, you can
break us free from the grasp of Aku
Copy !req
179. and we can escape in secret
to again continue to discover our history.
Copy !req
180. I will help you.
Copy !req
181. Splendid. Well, we're off, then.
Copy !req
182. - Hold it!
- What is it now, Rothy?
Copy !req
183. - What's wrong?
- My dearest apologies, kind sir,
Copy !req
184. but we never got your name.
Copy !req
185. - Jack!
- Jack, was all...
Copy !req
186. - Jack!
- Jack!
Copy !req
187. - Yo, Jack!
- Jack, was...
Copy !req
188. - Jack!
- Jack! Jack!
Copy !req
189. They call me Jack.
Copy !req
190. Jack. I say, that's quite nice.
So simple, but it seems to fit.
Copy !req
191. But who am I to comment?
Well, Jack, we're on our way.
Copy !req
192. We'll take our rocket ship.
Copy !req
193. Rocket ship?
Copy !req
194. I'm taking a break.
Copy !req
195. My lord, we are the manaquas,
from the mosconian galaxy.
Copy !req
196. Our water planet has been pillaged
Copy !req
197. and all the oceans
that were once our home are gone.
Copy !req
198. We have searched long and hard
Copy !req
199. to find a planet with oceans
rich enough to sustain our people
Copy !req
200. And your world is our
last hope for survival.
Copy !req
201. I know of your plight, Manaquain,
Copy !req
202. for you see I am he who has taken
your water and the riches within them.
Copy !req
203. - You monster!
- Be quiet!
Copy !req
204. I am sorry, my lord.
Copy !req
205. The boy is young and foolish.
Copy !req
206. He does not know what he says.
Copy !req
207. The boy will return.
Copy !req
208. He will learn proper respect for Aku
in the pit of hate.
Copy !req
209. Yes, O master, your wisdom
is unquestionable,
Copy !req
210. but with you, good Lord Aku,
Copy !req
211. allow us to inhabit your world,
for you are our only hope.
Copy !req
212. You will be allowed.
Copy !req
213. The oceans of Aku will be your new home,
Copy !req
214. but you will pay homage to me
by constructing statues in my likeness.
Copy !req
215. Once a month, a monolithic tribute
Copy !req
216. will rise from the depths of the ocean
Copy !req
217. to remind all
who is the master of this world.
Copy !req
218. Now be gone!
Copy !req
219. My Lord, Master,
I have great news for you.
Copy !req
220. What information can be considered great
for the immortal Aku?
Copy !req
221. An ancient warrior of great power
and skill has revealed himself.
Copy !req
222. He has vowed to liberate the canines
from your mines.
Copy !req
223. What impertinence is this?
Copy !req
224. Show me the fool!
Copy !req
225. So fate has arrived.
Copy !req
226. Many years have gone since that day,
and now my formidable foe,
Copy !req
227. you will pay for my pain in the past
with your pain in the future.
Copy !req
228. Oh, dear, sir Jack, are you ill?
Copy !req
229. I'm fine. I just prefer walking.
Copy !req
230. Oh, yes. Rocket rides and such.
Copy !req
231. Sorry about that, old timer,
but anyway, welcome to our camp.
Copy !req
232. As you can see, our archaeological dig
Copy !req
233. had unearthed many astounding discoveries
Copy !req
234. concerning the history of canine-kind,
Copy !req
235. but unfortunately, Aku has, shall we say,
redirected our efforts
Copy !req
236. purely toward the excavation
of his precious gems.
Copy !req
237. And if Aku's unreasonable quotas
are not fully met,
Copy !req
238. I'm afraid terrible punishments
are exacted.
Copy !req
239. My peoples' spirits are broken.
Copy !req
240. We simply cannot
live like this any longer!
Copy !req
241. I have seen Aku implement
these atrocities before, but no more.
Copy !req
242. Even dogs should not be forced
to live like dogs.
Copy !req
243. Ahem.
Copy !req
244. They're coming! They're coming!
Copy !req
245. Aku's drones approach from the south!
Copy !req
246. They will be upon us by sunrise!
Copy !req
