Chapter 1
In the darkness of a basement of abandoned warehouse in the town of Sleepy Hollow, an evil man was watching his television. The man was pale, thin and bald. Dr. Gothic Grim was his name and his brow was furrowed in anger as he watched the TV. An anchorwoman was broadcasting a report.
"The damage from the attack of few days ago is still being repaired. Construction crews have assured us that all will be fixed soon. In the meantime, it is still unknown to the people of our fair town what caused their cars to transform into monsters and wreak havoc. A few are still afraid to even approach their cars," said the anchorwoman. Dr. Grim grinned momentarily.
"Fortunately, no casualties have been reported and few were injured. Even more fortunate, the town was saved thanks to a trio of unusually dressed people who stopped the car monsters. No one knows who these heroes are. But isn't that one of the main features of superheroes: keeping their identities secret? Whoever they are, we here at the studio thank these heroes for saving our town and hope they'll come again if something like this happens again. This is Winona O'Hara signing off," said the anchorwoman.
Suddenly, an axe split the TV set down the middle. And holding the handle was Dr. Grim. He growled angrily. "The first thing I do when I rule this town is make sure that news show is cancelled. Well, at least the population is shaken. But it still vexes me that Beetlejuice and his posse defeated me," said Dr. Grim as he walked away from his destroyed television.
He walked toward an area of the lair where a muscular figure wearing a black cloak was slashing at paper ghosts with a scythe. He was Mecha- Reaper, Dr. Grim's ultimate ghost hunter and mechanical servant. Mecha- Reaper turned his attention to his master.
"Come up with a new plan, Master?" asked Mecha-Reaper. "Not yet. I'm still trying to figure out a way to defeat Beetlejuice and his friends. If I could, I would go back to the Neitherworld and capture more ghosts. Unfortunately, I don't have enough BJ energy to get there since Beetlejuice got some of it back. And even with his lack of most of his powers, he was still able to defeat Doomie thanks to those gadgets. We can't even attack 1313 Poe Lane. From what you've told me, it's now impossible for us to set foot on that hill unless we want to get a beating from those trees and gargoyles. But Beetlejuice must have a weakness," said Dr. Grim.
"You know, we'd still have Beetlejuice trapped in our capsule if his friends hadn't come to rescue him. Who would have known that the ghost would have such good friends?" asked Mecha-Reaper. Then Dr. Grim's face lit up with an evil smile.
"Mecha-Reaper, you're a genius! That's it! The answer's been in front of us the entire time. We should have known. A true villain attacks neither the body nor the mind. If you really want to make your enemy suffer and do whatever you want, you attack the heart," said Dr. Grim.
"I don't follow. How could attacking Beetlejuice's heart work? He's not even alive," said Mecha-Reaper. "Not in the physical sense, you idiotic piece of junk!" yelled Dr. Grim. "So much for being a genius," said Mecha-Reaper.
"We'll draw Beetlejuice out by attacking the one thing he cares about most: that girl who came to save him. What was her name? Lydia Deetz, I think," said Dr. Grim. "How are we going to get at her, Master? She lives at 1313 Poe Lane with Beetlejuice and Dr. Notrub," said Mecha- Reaper.
"Leave that to me. A little hacking on the web and we'll find out where she works or which school she goes to if she's a student. Once we find out where she goes when she's not at Dr. Notrub's place, that's when we'll strike swiftly and without mercy. Then Beetlejuice will regret ever crossing the path of Dr. Gothic Grim," said Dr. Grim. Then he walked to his computer laughing maniacally. He was brewing yet another nasty scheme in his pursuit of taking over the world.
