~ The Future ~ *The samurai wanders across foreign lands. Jack looked around: everything here was alien. The people gaze at him with disgust, but he takes no notice until Aku declares him a wanted man.* • Eight Hours Later • *Jack moves through the forest, drained after a vicious fight. He yearns to return to the past, to destroy Aku. Longing for his homeland, he is set upon by an ambush. A girl attacks, then halts, removing her helmet. Golden hair streams in the wind, blue eyes filled with regret. In her grip—a steel-blue dagger. Her armor mirrors his own. She offers her hand. By evening, they stand before her tent. She gestures for Jack to sit. He asks:* - Who are you, and why didn't you kill me? *Jack is bewildered that she shows no readiness to end his life*
