Tada! After much thought and planning, the sequel to Adventures in Cartoonland is here! It is not necessary to read Adventures in Cartoonland before reading this but beware, there will be spoilers from the first fanfic in this and you may or may not be a bit confused. Now that is over with, let's get started on a journey!

I only own Bethany.

"Okay, I've listened to your crazy plan, now get out," said Hades as he pointed towards the exit, the blue fire on his head turning red for an instant. He was sitting at the table and across from was a tall figure that was totally covered in a black hooded cloak. Hades had been enjoying some much-needed alone time in the Underworld when this guy just came in and demanded to talk with him. Hades didn't know how this guy, out of all the people in Cartoonland, managed to get past Cerberus, but there was one thing he did know: the cloaked villain's visit had been prolonged for far too long.

"But I told you, I..."

"Somehow managed to get all the money Roger had conquered up. I know, I don't have a walnut for a brain after all," said Hades with a wave of his hand. "But you've seen my movie right?"

"Of course I have," said the male, in a tone that was diplomatic yet an edge of growing irritation. "I've seen Hercules several times..."

"Now tell me, was there any point in the movie where I seemed interested in something like money?" asked Hades in a smooth tone, even though he was getting more and more irritated. The only reason why he had even let the stupid cloaked man stay was because Hades had been slightly interested in what the man's evil plan was. But now that Hades knew that the plan was crazy and wouldn't benefit him, the God just wanted to give the masked intruder a good kick. On the bum and in the direction of the door.

"Um…actually no," answered the cloaked male a bit sheepishly.

"Ding ding ding! You got the answer right! Since I am a God, I don't need money! All I want is Zeus' position in Olympus!" exclaimed Hades as he stood up and acted like he really was excited that the irritating person answered correctly. "Pain! Panic! Where are you?! I need you two to show our guest the big prize!" Which was a one-way ticket out of the Underworld.

"But what about an army?" the villain quickly interjected. This took Hades back a second and he studied his guest, even though he couldn't see his face.

"Never mind!" exclaimed Hades as he sat back down. He heard Pain and Panic mumble outside of the room but he decided to ignore them for now.

"Go on," the blue skinned God with a slight wave of his hand. The cloaked person then put his elbows on the table and laid his head on the top of his gloved hands.

"I have an army right now, and it's a pretty good one too. And once my plan is fulfilled, I will pay them to follow you and your command. All you have to do is accept my request."

"Which is what exactly?" asked Hades, as he tried to not feel anxious about the offer of an army. Because if this person was true to his word, then Hades would be one of the happiest people in Cartoonland. He had tried to organize an army in the past but it ended up being a huge pain in the behind so Hades just decided it wasn't worth it and gave up. But now he had a chance to lay his hands on an already organized army…which very well help him conquer Olympus. But there was one problem…

"Because last year, when I helped Roger in his 'foolproof' plan, I ended up being punched into the Styx by Hercules. Again," explained Hades, the horrible memory making him shudder. "And if that wasn't enough, when I got out, Zeus happened to be there and just threw me back in there with a wide smile! When I finally managed to escape those clinging spirits again, Phil, along with Meg and Pegasus, kicked me back in there!" As Hades continued to rant, his blue fire turned red again and grew bigger till it was a few feet high and covering his shoulders.

"So you got trapped in the Styx three times? How did they know when you were going to come out?"

"Beats me, maybe they all took shifts," answered Hades with a grumble, his red fire turning blue and till normal size again. "Then when I climbed out of that desolate pool for the third time, Hercules slammed that darn ankle bracelet on me and I couldn't leave this place for six more months!"

"Hey, don't act like you were the only one not punished after the war! Most of us had to wear those ankle bracelets for six months too! And that was after three weeks in Arkham Asylum!"

"Oo," said Hades as he winced in sympathy. Arkham Asylum was where they put anyone who disobeyed the rules of Cartoonland. While it wasn't the Styx, Hades had to admit that to spend three weeks in a prison full of crazies would be akin to a real-life horror movie. "That is rough…but I'm surprised that there wasn't a prison riot, since all of you villains were together an all."

"Actually, the good guys didn't put all of us in there at once," admitted the cloaked person as he scratched the back of his head. "They made us wear those ankle bracelets right after the war and then sent a group of us villains in there while the rest of us had to wait our turn. But I digress, are you afraid that my plan will fail and that you will go back to the Styx as a result?"

"I wouldn't say afraid as much as I am not anxious to being a prisoner," corrected Hades. "Just like you aren't anxious to go back to Arkham Asylum." The cloaked intruder winced, indicating that Hades' words had struck home.

"That may be true," the cloaked man admitted. "But my desire to have my revenge is greater. Ever since Roger was defeated, I have been devising my plan of sweet vengeance, going over every move and possible problem with great care. At long last, I am almost ready. All I need is you to call the Fates here."

"Well…wait. That's all you want from me?" asked Hades, his yellow-sclera eyes growing wide in surprise. The cloaked guest nodded.

"I also plan to give a list of names later and I would appreciate it if you tell me if any of them go to Underworld within the next two weeks but other than that, that's it. That is all I want from you." Hades, not speaking a single word or sound, leaned backwards in his chair and mused on the situation with his chin in his hand.

Unlike last year, Hades wouldn't have to do much, in fact he most likely wouldn't even have to leave the Underworld if he wanted. And if Hades' guest's plans do go amok, the good guys most likely won't realize the small part Hades played. Even if they did, they probably won't even bother punishing Hades for it. If Hades' guest's evil plan does work, then Hades will have an army. Of course, Hades will have to see the army for himself and wait for the opportune time to strike Olympus, but the Lord of the Dead will figure out the details later. And besides, when it comes to hostile takeovers and evil plotting, Hades accepted that there will always be some risk.

"It's a deal," said Hades with a wide evil smile as he held out his hand. His new partner immediately took his hand and they shook once, sealing the deal. When they let go, Hades then thought of something "Out of curiosity, what are you going to ask the Fates? After all, you said that you went over every move and possible problem…"

"Oh I'm just going to ask the ladies which items would bring the most pain to my special group of heroes, especially one person in particular," said the villain with a pleasantly evil voice. Hades looked at his cloaked guest for a long moment in silence.

When the guest had first arrived and said hello, Hades immediately knew who the animated person was, despite not seeing his face. The cloaked person just had one of those annoying voices. An annoying voice that was now even making Hades feel slightly on edge, if only because of how resolute this villain was in ruining a certain animated person's life.

"You are really bent on revenge you know that? And this is coming from the guy who hates his own brother," pointed out Hades. "And also, why are you still wearing that cloak? We are in the Underworld for crying out loud, I doubt a good guy is just going to walk through the door."

"I know," admitted the cloaked villain. "But I have decided long ago that I will do whatever it takes to make that mouse suffer and I am not going to back down now. And to answer your cloak question, why not?"

So...who is the cloaked villain? What is the plan? What in the world is going to happen? If you want the answers to these questions, you will have to read the next update, which may or may not be up sometime this week (which depends on many reviews I get, hint hint). Till then, please review and tell me what you honestly thought of this prologue. Have a good night/day!
