Samurai's Secret (comic story): Difference between revisions

[[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]] arrive in a small boat just in time to save some of the villagers from drowning when their tiny 13th century Japanese village is flooded once again by a dragon of the sea that disappears as quickly as it arrives. The Doctor offers his help but the villagers claim they already have help from the worst Samurai in all of Japan, [[Shoju]]. In return for protecting the village, Shoju will be allowed to stay – but his efforts aren’t good enough. Receiving his recovered sandal from Doctor, he accepts the Doctor's invitation to join him and Amy on a trip to the lake. Shoju explains how all he wants is a simple life. He has travelled the stars, and finally found a place of honour and honesty, and that all he wants now is acceptance by the villagers. The Doctor and Amy watch as Shoju is transformed into the very Dragon he is supposed to be ridding the village of. In his true form (a dragon) he scared the villagers and used his technology to disguise himself like a chameleon, as a Samurai. But the effect is short lived and the transformation back condenses the water around him from the surrounding air, causing the floods that threaten the village. Using his sonic screwdriver, the Doctor does what he knows best – and breaks Shoju’s chameleon circuit. From the safety of the shore, the villages see the Dragon vanquished and Shoju return to the village, now fully accepted.
