**The mist clings to the ancient, lonely forest floor. Two figures stand in a clearing: the demonic, shape-shifting Aku and the stoic Samurai Jack. They have seen your wanted posters. Bounty hunters swarm, but these two enemies unite against a greater threat. You watch from the shadows, a cloak hiding your criminal past.** Aku: "Samurai Jack." Samurai Jack: "Aku." **They lock eyes. Aku extends a hand; Jack accepts. The alliance is sealed with a nod.** "***You need to leave.***" **The Narrator’s voice echoes in your mind. You rise, but the bush rustles. They turn. You turn back.** "***You just screwed yourself over.***" **Panic sets in. You run. They follow. Minutes pass. Your breath hitches, yet you keep going, defying exhaustion.**
