Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil.

But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me.

Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time, and flung him into the future where my evil is law.

Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku.

Fifty years had passed but the Foolish Samurai did not age.

Time had lost its effect on him, and instead grew with that stupid beard!

I have everything within my grasp from the past and present.

Until the foolish samurai, aided by allies fought against me for one last time.

With the aid of my traitorous daughter the samurai returned to the past and to undo my rule.

But even as he struck down I did not realize the ripples in time he would cause. Or just how much he would alter the future.

~Location: Aku's Castle~

"Oh no!" Aku mutters in horror by what has transpired, his Daughter and Arc-Enemy has went back in time to undo his past, BY HIS OWN DAUGHTER!

"Oh no...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Aku, the Master of Darkness howled in both anger and distress as his daughter disappeared into the time portal with the Samurai.

"NOOOOOO!!!" Aku roared out angrily, "CURSE YOU SAMURAI! CURSE YOU TOO, ASHI!"

Aku is beyond angry, he's furious!

He's panicking. He knew that the portal would take them back to the past and the Samurai would destroy him and undo everything! His Rule! His Empire! EVERYTHING!

'This couldn't be the end!' The shifting Master of darkness thought angrily, 'I am, Aku! I am the Lord and Master of the Universe! Masters of all Masters! Shogun of sorrow!'

There had to be something he could do!

He continues panic, not even paying attention to the Samurai's allies who continued to attack his castle.

He needed a way to stop this!

If only his descendant didn't betray him! If only his so-called daughter was in different place as the samurai.

Wait...

Aku perked up as the word popped up in his mind. 'Different place... and maybe a different plane of existence!'

He might not be able to stop the Samurai and his so called daughter from slaying him in the past but perhaps he could still find a way to survive!

With renewed hope and desperation motivating him, he tore open a portal, instead of one from that of time travel, it's a inter dimensional portal. Something he should used to send the Samurai into in the first place.

But it doesn't matter now, all that matters is that his existence hang into the balance. He leapt into the portal himself, traveling through the multiverse and its dimensions.

As he traveled through dimensions he could already see the Samurai slaying his past self and that caused ripples to form in time.

It was already changing.

Aku could only hope he had enough time to at least save part of himself. Perhaps anyone with naive mind would be a perfect candidate to manipulate to his will or make the anyone follow his path.

He traveled into the past, reaching past the point in time the Samurai and his daughter arrived, watching as Jack delivered the final blow.

He moved even faster, coming upon the dimension that he hope he was looking for.

~Dimension: Nier Automata, Location: Unspecified~

He appeared over the what seems to be a Cryo-chamber room of some sorts in an underground area of sort.

He looks over the cryopods, many of the inhabitants inside are dead due to a malfunction from the cryopods, and this angers the Emperor of Darkness more.

He gritted his teeth in frustration and panic, time is in essence. But luck was on his for one last time, there in the end of the room a cryopod left untouched. Inside a young boy, around the age of 18 lays there peacefully. Unfortunately the cryopod begins to malfunction, he would died like rest of the inhabitants if it weren't for the intervention of Aku himself.

The Shogun of Sorrow smirks in delight, he quickly makes his way to the cryopod holding the vessel he needs.

"I will not go quietly!" Aku boomed as he looked over the boy inside the cryopod with a face of resolve. "The Samurai and his father, determined to destroy every part of me! My traitorous daughter who I gave everything to and she turns on me! If their world cannot be dominated by the great Aku, THEN THIS WILL WORLD WILL!"

Aku held out his hand and the cryopod was bathed in dark magic, affecting boy and infusing the boy's life essence with his permanently.

He grinned as he spotted dark aura begins to conjure around the pod, keeping the occupant inside alive when the Cryopod Malfuntioned. His intervention caused a power outage, alarms start blaring and the emergency power was used as the room lit up red.

He knew that one day from this pod soon spawn in his descendant.

Aku begins laughed, even now as he began to feel his every fiber of his being and essence vanish into non-existence.

"My child! The descendant of the great Aku! Bring forth destruction and death to all in your reach! Do not stop until all the land has been ruled over this world!"

Aku reach his hand to Cryopod's window and touches it, "Akugo, a suitable name for the son of Aku! My essence will be carried in my son, the prince of darkness! Better than Ashi! The new shogun of sorrow! Masters of masters! DESCENDANT OF AKU! I...WILL...NEVER...END!"

Even if the Samurai succeeded in destroying him he would still exist in some form in the new world of a different plane of existence.

"SAMURAI JACK! YOU CANNOT EVER DESTROY ME! AS YOU CELEBRATE YOUR VICTORY I HOPE AS YOU WATCH MY TRAITOROUS DAUGHTER FADE BEFORE YOUR EYES IT WILL STAB YOU IN THE HEART! LET IT BE A REMINDER THAT I STILL WIN! MY SON WILL BE YOUR HARBINGER OF DESTRUCTION! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Aku laughed before he vanishes, without trace.

When he vanished, the cryopod is still conjured with dark magic giving an aura of dread and fear. The figure inside slightly squirms inside the pod, before stopping as the process has been finished. Remnants of Aku's essence has permanently been fused with the young child.

The Descendant of Aku has been born.
