Jon Stark could safely say he was overcome with powerful emotions as he faced down the demon that his surrogate father defeated when he and Rob were children.

Fear.

Anger.

Determination.

And last of all, righteous fury.

He held the sword in both hands as Aku morphed into his default form, grinning down at him and his brother.

"I remember that blade…I recognize your blood. You are the offspring of the fool Ned Stark who imprisoned years ago." Aku grimaced. "But no matter. Neither he nor the sword had the power to slay me forever. And neither do you!"

Aku let out a roar as his eyes glowed, unleashing twin beams of white death on them. Jon and Rob jumped away as the beams scorched the ground they had stood on. Aku ignored Rob in favor of Jon, seeing him as the more dangerous threat. He clawed at Jon who ducked and rolled, slashing at the arm but Aku pulled back before it could touch him, taking care not to underestimate the sword as he once had.

He knew he could not touch Jon while in his large normal form so he shrunk down, morphing into a mantis and lashed out his claws. Jon stepped back, hastily blocking the claws with the sword. Aku suddenly morphed into a snake and wrapped around Jon's arms, tightening his grip and forcing Jon to drop the sword.

"All too easy. How do you prefer to die? Strangled to death or bitten to death?" Aku laughed, readying to bite Jon's head off.

White Fang leapt in and bit Aku before he could finish Jon off, pulling him off the young warrior.

"You!" Aku howled and broke free of White Fang's mouth, morphing into a tiger.

Aku leapt onto White Fang and the two clawed and bit at each other as Jon crawled over to the sword, picking it up slowly. He stood up and charged, stabbing Aku in the back, earning a scream from the demon as he turned into a puddle and shot up into the sky, morphing into a large hawk.

"He's trying to stay out of the sword's reach. He knows we can hurt him." Jon said, standing next to White Fang who seemingly nodded in agreement.

Aku flew down towards Jon and White Fang, opening his mouth.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

He unleashed a scream so loud it carried shockwaves that slammed into Jon and White Fang, sending them both flying back across the battlefield and slamming into the ground hard.

"HA-HA-HA-HA!" Aku laughed, hovering in the air. "You believe I could not harm you if I could not touch you? FOOL! There is no limit to the power of Aku!"

Ned looked up, watching as Aku laughed mockingly at his surrogate son and cursed the demon for it. He knew Aku would return and it was likely that Aku would not be as arrogant as he had been when Ned had fought him and it appeared he was right. Aku did not think highly of Jon but he knew the sword was a danger and thus was fighting smarter, keeping an eye on the sword and minding its ability to harm him. This only made him fighting him even more difficult even if he was fighting more than one opponent this time.

Last time it was him, Robert, and White Fang against an army of Akus that charged recklessly into battle. But now Aku had learned his lesson and was thinking twice about anyone he was fighting, especially with the sword. It only made Ned fearful, even though he had faith in Jon's ability to fight and White Fang was by his side.

Aku was a threat to the entire world and to anyone who challenged him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Aku screamed again, unleashing another sonic attack on Jon and White Fang who were just barely recovering from the first one.

White Fang grabbed Jon by the back of his top and pulled him out of the way as the sonic blast tore through the ground where they had stood.

"Jon!" Catelyn screamed, watching as White Fang pulled him to safety.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Aku cackled madly, staring down at Jon and White Fang. "It seems history shall not repeat itself today, little wolf!"

Jon looked at the sword and then back up at Aku before knowing what he had to do. Just as Aku flew down to release another sonic blast Jon twisted the sword in his hand and threw it with all his might. The sword collided with Aku, piercing his body and the demon let out a scream before his body exploded and was absorbed into the sword and fell back into Jon's hand.

"He did it." Ned whispered, his voice filled with awe and pride as he watched Jon victoriously hold the sword above his head.

"He stopped the demon!" Catelyn said, smiling in happiness and relief. "He defeated the demon!"

The people of Winterfell cheered as the Stark family surrounded their savior, exchanging hugs and a few fist bumps. Jon then stepped forward, bringing the sword down on the ground, releasing the darkness inside the morphed back into Aku's default form who lied before the Stark family, broken and defeated.

"It's over." Jon said as he raised the sword to finish the demon once and for all.

Aku looked back up at Jon, glaring at him and the Starks with hate. "You might have beaten me now. But I will destroy you in the future."

"There is no future for you, demon." Jon said.

Aku smirked. "I disagree…"

He then opened his mouth and let out a screech, releasing white rings that shot up over Jon who looked up in shock. "What trickery is this?"

"Jon!" Arya shouted and ran up to her older brother.

The rings fell on Jon as Arya reached him, creating a pillar of light that the both of them and White Fang vanished into.

"JON! ARYA!" Catelyn screaming, seeing her daughter and surrogate son vanish.

Aku laughed as he stood back up. "Do not worry. They will return but next time they will not be so fortunate."

"What did you do to them?!" Catelyn screamed, just an inch from striking the demon herself.

Aku grinned. "I sent them to a new world that they know not. They will be given the chance to fight me again. We will see how they survive in the future that is AKU!"

"The future?" Ned repeated slowly.

"Yes. A time far in the future and with no magic sword to stop me soon the world will bow to me, Ned Stark. You have failed! From this day forward Aku reigns supreme! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Aku cackled as his form grew larger.

"We will fight you to the last, demon!" Rob shouted, holding his sword tightly in both hands.

"Yes you will! Go forth and spread word of my triumph! Let all the kingdoms know I will be coming for them!" Aku cackled as he shot up into the sky.

The future of the Seven Kingdoms and even the world itself was now in great danger.
