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
wielding a magic sword,Copy !req
5. stepped forth to oppose me.Copy !req
6. Before the final blow was struck,Copy !req
7. I tore open a portal in timeCopy !req
8. and flung him into the future,
where my evil is law.Copy !req
9. Now the fool seeks to return to the pastCopy !req
10. and undo the future that is Aku.Copy !req
11. Long ago,
he came to us in our time of need.Copy !req
12. His name was Jack.Copy !req
13. Nothing would be the same.Copy !req
14. You have won.Copy !req
15. No, we have not.Copy !req
16. Come. We go to meet the king.Copy !req
17. My Lord.Copy !req
18. My king.Copy !req
19. Did you hold the right flank?Copy !req
20. We suffered many casualties,Copy !req
21. but held our position.Copy !req
22. Mmm.Copy !req
23. Your numbers have dwindled.Copy !req
24. I fear you will not
survive another attack.Copy !req
25. No, my king!
We will never give up! We will fight.Copy !req
26. Yes.Copy !req
27. I know you will not fail me.Copy !req
28. Brotuck, who is this you bring before me?Copy !req
29. My king, this is the stranger
who aided me in battle.Copy !req
30. This battle is of no concern to you.Copy !req
31. Why did you fight?Copy !req
32. I saw this warrior outnumbered.Copy !req
33. I meant no disrespect.Copy !req
34. I apologize.Copy !req
35. Wait!Copy !req
36. These years of war
have made my words harshCopy !req
37. and my tone insolent.Copy !req
38. Any man brave enough
to face these monstersCopy !req
39. is a friend.Copy !req
40. What is this war?Copy !req
41. Long ago, a mechanical beast went madCopy !req
42. and waged war against all in its path.Copy !req
43. It feeds off the land itself,Copy !req
44. growing larger,Copy !req
45. powerful!Copy !req
46. All the neighboring kingdoms have fallen.Copy !req
47. We are the last.Copy !req
48. The beast desperately wants our lands,Copy !req
49. for our home is beautiful...Copy !req
50. peaceful,Copy !req
51. rich in resources.Copy !req
52. The beast and its robotsCopy !req
53. would have destroyed us ages ago,Copy !req
54. but our land is protected
by the tallest of mountains.Copy !req
55. And a narrow ravine is the only entrance.Copy !req
56. It was there, with only 300 men,Copy !req
57. that we stopped the beast's armies.Copy !req
58. The position was easy to defend,Copy !req
59. and their superior numbers
were made worthless.Copy !req
60. Year after year, the war went on.Copy !req
61. And the battle became a stalemate.Copy !req
62. For this creature strips the battlefieldCopy !req
63. clear of its fallenCopy !req
64. to rebuild its army again and again.Copy !req
65. And so it goes.Copy !req
66. And I am the fifth king
to defend this gateway.Copy !req
67. And tomorrow will bring the same.Copy !req
68. There is another way.Copy !req
69. What do you mean?Copy !req
70. There is a path through the mountains.Copy !req
71. What? How can that be?Copy !req
72. How wide is this path?Copy !req
73. Wide enough for troops
to move through sideways.Copy !req
74. Weapons held in front and behind.Copy !req
75. How long to complete the journey?Copy !req
76. Half a day.Copy !req
77. Will you show us this path?Copy !req
78. Of course.Copy !req
79. This war ends now!Copy !req
80. Fifty of my best menCopy !req
81. will join me in a strike
against the beast itself,Copy !req
82. while the rest
stay here and defend our position.Copy !req
83. While the monsters attack us,
we will attack them!Copy !req
84. You must stay.Copy !req
85. But I must be at your side.Copy !req
86. I need you here,
for if anything should happen to me,Copy !req
87. you will be king...Copy !req
88. my son.Copy !req
89. I will not fail you, father.Copy !req
90. Forward, my brothers!Copy !req

100. The war...Copy !req
101. was finally over.Copy !req
102. But the warrior was gone.Copy !req
103. His shield...Copy !req
