Prologue
Not a bit of sunshine entered the room. The room was pitch black as a witch's heart. The only single bit of light was coming from a giant computer screen. Sitting on a chair, looking at the readings of the screen was a tall, thin man dressed in a black lab coat. His skin was very pale as if he had not seen the light of day in years. He could almost be mistaken for a skeleton raised from the grave. He scratched his bald scalp with his bony finger in thought.
Behind him, a hulking figure waited for him to respond. The figure's body was covered in a hooded, black cloak. His face was hidden in the darkness of the cloak. But two glowing red eyes shone like candles from the darkness. In his right hand, he carried a long scythe. He looked like the Grim Reaper himself.
The figure spoke to the man in a scratchy voice. "Master, what is going on? You have been looking at the computer screen for hours," said the figure. The man rose from his chair and said, "With all the knowledge I programmed you with Mecha-Reaper, I'm surprised you still act like you don't know anything. Have you forgotten what we have been doing all these years?"
"Sorry Master. But you haven't been like this before," said the figure who was now obviously named Mecha-Reaper. "Over the past five years, I have been monitoring disruptions in the planes of existence. I'm not sure what it means. But my guess is that someone or something from another plane of existence has been crossing over into our world from time to time. Back then; I didn't have the technology to track it. But now I am working on something that will enable me to find it and use it to my own purposes," said the man.
"What do you think it is?" asked Mecha-Reaper. "I think that over the years, I have been tracking an ectoplasmic apparition. Or to put it into a term that your programming can understand, a ghost," said the man with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Once I have discovered where the apparition is, I'll send you to capture it. With the technology I have placed into you, you can actually harm a ghost and restrain it. Then I'll discover how to use its powers to cross over into the spirit world. And then I'll show the world that I was right the whole time. I had scientific evidence that ghosts exist. But they made a laughingstock of me and cut my funding. I'll show them. I'll show the whole world! Soon the world will hail the name of Dr. Gothic Grim," said the man.
Then he laughed a horrible, maniacal laugh that echoed through the walls of the room. The world would be in danger if Dr. Grim had his way.
