-I own absolutely nothing relative to or mentioned in this story. I will be putting in my own characters to help the story, modify certain terminology, and places. But the characters and places related to the cartoon and movie do not belong to me, they belong to whoever has the copy right, only Tim Burton comes to mind.-

-Prologue-

The door creaked open as a slender young man with pitch black hair walked through into the dark corridor. He began to walk down the twisted stairs until they opened into a large room, and with a sigh he stared at the center of the room. Within a large sphere, his entire body bound in restraining clothing, held in place by chain hung a prisoner he never wished to see again. The prisoner was slimmer than he remembered and his hair grew to the point that it touched the bottom of the bowl, evidence of how long he had been in there.

"Weaken the spell"

With these words the prisoner started to stir, but still remained bound and blindfolded.

"You know who I am I take it?"

"Well it's about time somebody dropped by, I only wish it was to better company," The prisoner said with a cackle. "or did you miss me that much our little sorrowful prince Vince?"

"Then I will get right to the point if my presence disturbs you so. Do to the horrendous nature of you crime, you have been placed inside this prison. Now we are willing to award you a pardon if you do a job for us."

"Oh… I see, so the nobles can't fix their problem so they come to the devil asking for help. Well you're going to have to sweeten the pot if that is going to work, and by the way, if this is your idea of imprisonment I would love to see what you have for torture."

"I don't think you're in any position to bargain." Vince declared with a victorious smirk.

The prisoner began to laugh and vanished from inside the sphere. Dumb founded, Vince ran to the sphere's base for a better look. With all the magic and seals in this cell it would be impossible for anyone to escape. His thought was interrupted when he was pushed into the sphere and instantly felt his strength leave him.

"I believe I am!" said the prisoner with an evil smile that stretched from ear to ear.

"Hhooww…?"

"Oh that… I just did it. Now if you excuse me I think I need to do some things, now where to begin?" he started to walk around the cell dragging his fingers on the cold glass. "Oh I know, let's start my revenge with numero uno. Well princy boy I would love to chat but I have somewhere to be, and I think it's high time I pay a visit to my dear friend Lydia." He said with a malicious laugh.

Vince watched as the prisoner faded from sight and realized that he was losing consciousness. He was consumed by fear and despair he had never known, still in shock from the feat that had just taken place he could only utter the name of his now escaped prisoner.

"Bee…tle…jui…ce…."

-I pray I did this right. Please give me some reviews on the ideas, concepts, the goods, the bad so I can improve my technique, and tell me if you would be interested in more, because if nobody is interested I will just focus on my school work and keep the story to myself. So please help me out. Please and thank you- Oh if you have any questions please leave a review and I'll reply.
