We open our story to the underground lair of Oogie Boogie where he has the prince of the underworld, Grim Jr., captive and his life threatened. Oogie Boogie wants the secret to death's powers and he will do anything to have them, even slicing Jr open himself.

"I will finally learn the secret of the Grim Reaper's powers!" He said while holding an electric bone saw.

"But I don't have any Reaper powers!" replied Jr.

"Really?" Oogie said as he holds the electric bone saw closer to Jr. "Let's find out shall we?! I'm just dying to know."

As Jr closes his eyes and awaited his fate, his life passed before his eyes. Every humiliation, every moment his sister, Minimandy/Minnie, showed off her talents, and every time he had to live with the shame of knowing he would never be good enough in his parents eyes. Jr felt sick and tired of being the way his is, of being powerless, and always calling his mother for help. Enough is enough!

In that moment, Jr's skull and body released a storm of blue flames that blasted Oogie Boogie and his minions into a wall and away from the operating table Jr's body was strapped to. The body walks out of the flames and retrieved it's removed head before placing it back on. Jr then walks up to Oogie Boogie, glaring.

"What was that about learning the secret of the Grim Reaper's powers?" Jr said menacingly.

Oogie Boogie, nervous and scared, replied, "Now, now. Let's calm down now."

"Really? After kidnapping me, knocking me out, strapping me to a table, and threatening cut me open, you want me to calm down?" said Jr.

Lock, the little devil, decided to try and bring his input, "Yeah, come on man. This was-"

Jr turns to Lock with a flaming glare, "Quite."

Lock gulps and scoots closer to Shock and Barrel, who are also cowering in fear.

Jr turns back to Oogie Boogie and says, "Since you're so eager to learn about a Grim Reaper's powers, how about I give you a first hand demonstration?" he then holds up his right hand and ignites it in blue flames.

Oogie Boogie's eyes widen in fear and pleaded, "NO, NO NO! PLEASE HAVE MER-"

Oogie Boogie was cut shot do to Jr launching a stream of flames to turn Oogie and his bugs to dust. After 10 seconds, nothing was left where Oogie once was. Jr then turned his attention to his right, where Lock, Shock, and Barrel sat, still cowering in fear from his glare.

"I will give you guys 2 options. Either you straighten up and reform or you join your slime ball boss, what's it gonna be?" He threatened while his body flares blue flames around him.

"I choose to straighten up!" yelled the little witch, Shock.

"Me two!" added the little zombie, Barrel.

"Me three!" shouted Lock.

Jr dulls flames, saying, "Good, now get out of my sight."

Lock, Shock, and Barrel then ran for there lives out of the lair to who knows where. Unknown to him, Minnie and Zero had been standing from a distance, watching the entire display.
