Prologue
A long time ago, in the dark ages of Megakat city, a young prince name Chance Furlong lived in a glamorous castle. Though it seemed he lived the perfect life of luxury, it was anything but. Because of this, the prince grew to be selfish and unkind.
After his parents death the prince locked himself away from the outside world, choosing to live in his own little universe. He would spend his days alone, but at night he would throw lavish parties, drinking and dancing the night away. With no supervision, the teen could get away with what ever he wanted.
One dark stormy night, a surprised guest knocked on the doors of the palace, looking for protection from the rain. The now King Chance didn't know what to make of this strange and creepy visitor. The visitor asked if they would be allowed to live and work at the palace. He offered the King a single blue rose in hopes of gaining his trust through the gift of giving. The frozen hearted King sneered at the plant and told the visitor to leave at once, that his services weren't needed.
The visitor advised the King to open his eyes as well as his heart, telling him hiding was not the answer for his pain. First impressions weren't everything, that it takes time to learn to trust, and love another.
The King discarded the visitor, not wanting to hear another word. Then like magic, the visitor's clothes and body converted into that of a mystical being. The being declared his was a powerful sorcerer and was called the Pastmaster. Pulling a pocket watch from his cloak, he was ready to use it against the tall King.
Chance grovelled at the beings feet, pleading for mercy. But the Pastmaster could see the King was truly lost and held no love in his stone heart. Being a sorcerer he could see someone for who they truly were, and he saw the blond tabby was nothing more but a child who needed to grow up.
As punishment, the Pastmaster transfigured the King into a half mutated creature, thrusting a spell on the castle and it's most loyal servants.
The years went by, yet no one hunted out for the kingdom. For the Pastmaster conjured a spell that wiped the memories of the cursed being form those who knew and loved them. The blue rose the Pastmaster gave Chance, was indeed enchanted. For when it's last peddle fell the King would remain a mutant for all time.
However, if he learned to open his heart and to love another, and to gain their affection in return the spell would be lifted. As time went on the depressed King felt there was no hope, for who would ever love a freak, a mutant like him...
Author's note: Hey everyone, hope you like the prologue to my third Fanfiction. I was inspired after seeing a picture of Mutant Chance towering over Jake. (From the Swat Kats episode Mutation City) Then it hit me, why not make a Beauty and The Beast story out of it.
I had a blast meshing these two elements together. I also re-wrote the songs to the 2017 film, hope you like my take on the classic music and amazing story. Please read and enjoy Jake And The Mutant.
