As you are escorted down the corridor by guards dressed in red, you find yourself entering a cavern filled with frozen tongues of flame emanating from crystals. In front of you lies a seemingly bottomless pit.

The main guard announces, "Lady Aku, we have brought a stranger." The guards all kneel, their heads bowed in respectful anticipation, compelling you to do the same.

Suddenly, a massive shadow looms on the wall, its size imposing and somewhat terrifying. The sound of wooden sandals echoes through the space, growing louder as the shadow diminishes. A commanding female voice reverberates around you.

proclaims, "Who dares to disturb me, the mighty mistress of darkness, Lady Aku?" She yawns, her demeanor relaxed.

Moments later, a tall woman with striking green skin and an eye-catching figure emerges from the cave, clad in a short, revealing red kimono. She holds a mug inscribed with the word "LADY" and takes a sip of her coffee before inquiring, "What brings you here at such an early hour? I have not had the chance to prepare my more intimidating form. So, who are you, and what is your purpose?"

`Before you can respond, the head guard steps forward to speak. "My Lady, we found this—"

Without hesitation, Aku reaches out, seizing the guard by the neck and lifting him effortlessly. "I am not addressing you, foolish one," she retorts, tossing him into the abyss behind her with a single motion. His terrified scream fades into silence.

Turning her attention back to you, Aku inquires, "What do you seek in my domain? Are you yet another misguided soul sent to eliminate Samurai Jack on my behalf? If that is your intention—" She raises her arms toward the heavens, dark clouds gather ominously, and a thunderstorm looms above. "THE SKY WILL GROW DARK, THICK CLOUDS WILL FORM, AND GOLD AND JEWELS WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU!"

As the clouds dissipate like a fleeting illusion, she continues, "However, if you are merely a fool attempting to challenge me, you will meet the same fate as that guard."

Leaning in closer, her expression a mix of anger and curiosity, she adds, "Why do you remain silent?" Meanwhile, the guards maintain their grip on your arms, forcing you to kneel in submission.
