Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Past and Present. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own Samurai Jack, Warner Bros, Adult Swim and Genndy Tartakovsky do.

Kishi stared down Aku, he had waited years for his revenge…. But Kishi knew it was Jack's responsibility to defeat the murderous demon and save the world.

It didn't, however, mean Kishi couldn't at least distract the demon. Kishi went to transform his blades into their rifle form when he was knocked back.

"Fool! Did you really think I wasn't expecting Jack to have backup?" Aku laughed as Kishi stared down his brother, his sword and armor looking like a demented version of Aku as Ashi saw dozens of her former comrades surround Jack and Kishi.

"Master, I brought reinforcements as you ordered." Death Blow's words were ignored as Aku and Scaramouche turned their attention back to Jack and Ashi.

"You die today, brother, I'm really sick and tired of all these 'family reunions…'" Kishi hissed as he wiped the dust off his armor.

Kishi stood up and before the Cultists around him could respond, he ripped through them with slashes and bursts of gunfire as Kishi and his brother tossed themselves at each other like wild animals. Kishi stared over as Scaramouche's head exploded and Kishi could only guess it was due to Aku seeing Jack wasn't powerless, he also saw Ashi easily slaughtering the rest of the cultists as she broke necks, snapped wrists and cut through the rest of her former comrades with ease.

"Pay attention, brother, your little girlfriend is going to die by our lord's or my hands!" Death Blow as kicked to the side by Kishi as he flew up to land on a higher robot as the assassin growled and leapt up as Kishi smiled.

"C'mon brother, this is going to be our final fight." Kishi and Death Blow exchanged sword slashes as Kishi kicked his brother back as his brother's slashes at him as Kishi ducked a sword swipe and Kishi caught the sword slash with his own as Kishi got into his brother's face.

"This is what you wanted? To be Aku's lapdog? That heartless monster slaughters our people and you help him just for a few laughs and because I was born?!" Kishi all but hissed as his brother stabbed at him with the magic blade only for Kishi to turn and elbow his brother.

"You don't know the whole story, brother, I did it for a lot more than money…. But Aku did pay handsomely for the knowledge of our people, brother." Kishi kicked his brother so hard the armored blow sent his sibling smashing through the destroyed machine the two brothers were fighting on as Kishi cracked his neck and looked down.

"ASHI!?" He couldn't quite hear all of it but from what Kishi was seeing was Ashi fighting Jack before his brother tried to sneak attack him as Kishi leapt down and then back up at his brother and kicked him in the face before Death Blow recovered and tackled him as the two brothers smashed through the machine there were fighting on and tumbled to the ground besides the machine as Kishi wiped off his arms as Kishi growled.

"This ends now!" Death Blow said, his demonic sword pointed at his brother as Kishi charged and morphed his swords into a shotgun before firing it at his brother who backpedaled as the shots hit him in his shoulder and dented the shoulder plate as Kishi twirled his sword.

"Give it up, this fight is over, I don't have time for fight scum like you, brother." Death Blow growled and fired his gun before Kishi grabbed his arm and slashed the weapon in half before elbowing his brother and then grabbed him and tossed him into the robot.

Kishi flew up to his previous spot before his brother fired a bolt of lightning at him as Kishi narrowly dodged it and then used the momentum to send a torrent of fire down on his brother, his sibling barely dodged the torrent of fire aimed at him. as Kishi landed on the robot he had landed on before as his brother started to climb back up.

"Give it up, your nothing but aa cybernetic pieces of gar…" He was cut off when he spotted a flaming being fighting Jack, Kishi didn't need to be a genius to know who the being fighting Jack was as Kishi fell to his knees.

"Ash…. It was all a lie…."

Kishi tried not to cry as tears streamed down his cheeks inside his helmet as the apprentice fell to his knees, hurt emotionally as Jack had once been. His sibling took this as an. opening and charged as Kishi turned and punched his blade, shattering it as his brother watched in horror as the shards melted upon contact as Kishi brought both of his swords up through his brother's chest.

"You're done, brother…. You and him…" Kishi opened his mask as his brother gasped out a last sentence.

"At least…. The last of our family…. Will be a hero…. Like our uncle." Kishi was confused, he had never heard of their uncle and he grasped his brother around the neck before hauling him to his feet.

"What Uncle?" Death Blow pointed to Jack as Kishi dropped his brother which bounced and landed in a pile of junk. Kishi saw Jack dropping his sword which Aku was quick to pick up before turning to Kishi and firing his eye beams which Kishi barely dodged before landing in a pile of garbage as he could hear the demon laugh and haul his prisoner and daughter away as Kishi climbed to his feet. Kishi looked at the battle ground before seeing someone move in the dust.

'Well, I know what Aku will want to do with Jack, it will be best to gather all his allies before rescuing him…. Starting with the one Aku thought he personally killed.'

Author notes

Ok, like I said short chapter but big reveal, Kishi is a descendent of Jack! Anyway, I looked through the votes for the ending and the Ashi lives and Kishi kills Aku and writes a book based on Jack won the poll. I don't plan to mess up the ending like some people thought the show did. The next and final chapter will be in 3 or four weeks so I don't mess it up. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
