"If you truly wish to test a man's character, give him power."
- Abraham Lincoln

It has been quite a long time since Aku was forced into the world from the life he was happy with. He had a family that loved him, a life as a chef, and a world class eating contest champion. The man had everything he could have wanted before he was forced into a world full of equines that looked down upon him and stabbed him in the back over and over because they do not understand him and the magic that was also forced upon him.

Now, the man has become a monster. An ancient oni that dwells within him has finally awakened and has transformed him physically. And with every bit of evil that Aku consumes, it threatens to darken his heart. However, what do the inhabitants of this new world see as evil? Those who threaten the lives of innocent people? Sure, that is evil. But the struggle of political power between rulers is free game. And Aku has had enough of everyone's agendas and decides that he will no longer have any part of it and rule his own domain. And the kingdoms outside of his rule will work on HIS terms. He will not take anyone's shit anymore.

But, will he be able to keep both his heart and mind from completely going evil? After all, all that evil has to go somewhere...
