"But she broke his control. He put all his powers into her, just to have that messed up satisfaction of making her kill Jack, and she looked evil in the eye, and told Aku..." and now Johnny's voice, for the first time, began to rise in anger "...she told Aku no! She told him to get lost! She looked up at the evil god right out of your nightmares who had squashed countries like bugs and told him to get the hell outta her sight! Then she turned his powers on him, sent her and Jack back to the past!"
"AND BECAUSE SHE HAD THE GUTS, THE BRAINS, AND THE HEART TO STAND UP FOR HIM WHEN HE NEEDED IT THE MOST, HE WENT BACK AND CUT THAT EVIL, ROTTEN CANCER YOUR FIGHTING SENT HERE DOWN!"
Now the Gods started. "Ohhhh yeah, I know allll about that business. I got me a friend, hand and foot piercings, not my thing but he's a better guy than any of you were! Told me allll about how it was your fighting that sent Aku here!"
He stood there, breathing angrily.
"...they planned a weddin'. Jack looked at Ashi, Ashi looked at Jack, and they both said 'I wanna wake up every day next to this person'."
"But they didn't get that."
"No, they didn't." Said Vishnu. "Because she was of the future that was Aku, and-"
"I KNOW!" he shouted, furious. "So PSYCHE! Jack gets to spend his days staring at the sunset, trying to be brave for everyone, and cries himself to sleep every night, because you, FOR ONE STINKING TIME, couldn't find it in the empty space your heart's supposed to be to let them have ONE! FUCKING! THING!"
There was silence in the aftermath of Johnny Bravo's fury.
"I want it clear before you turn me into a toad or strike me with lightning or whatever gods do. I'm not questioning your judgement. I'm questioning you."
