Aku lands on his back in a place he doesn't recognize but he's instantly aware that it is not a place he wants to be. And not because of the screams of agony (these he doesn't mind) but because of the stench — the reek of death and sweat and raw meat hits him like a punch in the face — and because there's something writhing beneath him. His first instinct is to fly up and out of this mess but he finds out quickly that his flight ring is unresponsive.

Jumping up, he looks around in revulsion at the living carnage all around him. Yet more bodies are being shoveled onto the main conveyor belt from side ramps, further bloating the river of carnage as it flows toward a set of bloodstained, metal teeth. It's suddenly clear to him that this is some kind of torture machine slash meat-packing plant. Aku is no stranger to administering creative forms of cruelty and pain, but this is beyond even his scope of evil. He might marvel at the sadistic imagination behind this contraption if he wasn't so utterly repulsed.

Seeing as he's moving closer to the bladed maw up ahead, he begins to move against the current, treading unsteadily over bodies and yet barely getting anywhere. That's when he catches sight of a gathering of figures observing from above.

"TURN THIS THING OFF!" he shouts up at them. "CAN'T YOU SEE I AM ON IT?"
