Hello everyone. Before you get to the gang's next stop, I'm giving you a better look at what Eustace is doing.

Disclaimer: I don't own Jimmy Neutron (wow, I didn't know that).

"Incoming message," a large computer broke a silence.

"Open," Eustace indicated. He was in the habit of using his voice command system, because he was to busy swinging in his golden leather chair. It was very comfortable. Both the chair and the computer were rigged off a scientist, one he had worked with before he started this new scheme. Now the scientist was a prisoner of his.

A window opened up on the computer. A video was playing in it. "Bad news, Master Strych," the person remarked. "The planes crashed into eachother, but the kids escaped."

Eustace rose out of his chair. "Now Brankord, I would normally send my bodyguards to throw you IN MY DUNGEON!" he shouted with increasing volume in his voice. "But, you're getting off very lucky today, becuase we have a lot more chances to do away with them in these next days." Eustace was starting cool off. "But don't let it happen again!"

Brankord gulped. "Y-y-yes, M-master Strych-ch." With that, the transmission went offline.

Someone appeared in the doorway. "Master, the prisoner wishes to speak to you," Jennings the manservant stated.

Eustace sighed out of reluctance. "Bring him up."

No sooner than did Eustace give the command than did the manservant race out the door. A mere moment later he returned with Wilford. They were carrying a cage that was a kid's size. Immediately Jennings and Wilford left the room. Satisfied, he lifted the cover from off the cage. Inside was not a kid, but a small man. He was bald, wore a white lab coat, and had a large pair of glasses covering his eyes. He was Jimmy Neutron's old arch-nemesis, and used to be Eustace's ally, until Eustace came up with a bolder plan (this one). "Well hello, Calamitous. What pathetic unfinished insults have you conjured up today?"

"This is undignified! What have I ever done to you?"

"It's not what you've done, it's what our good friend Jimmy has done."

"So why did you come and break in to my lab and kidnap me and my... um... er.."

"Inventions," Eustace muttered impatiently.

"Yes! Inventions!" retorted Professor Finbarr Calamitous.

"I need them. You don't."

"What about me?"

"You? I needed someone on whom to test my killer pendulum."

Calamitous's eyes drew back in terror. "This is inhumane! I demand you let me go at once!"

"Sorry, but I can't do that," Eustace sarcastically retorted. "Remember? The pendulum? Oh, and thanks for the Dan Kee suit." Eustace let out a cheesey yet evil grin. Calamitous scowled. "Jennings! Wilford!" With that, the manservants carried out Calamitous in his covered birdcage.

Insisde Calamitous was in deep thinking. If I ever manage to get out of this place, I'll promise to help Jimmy and his friends however possible, and I'll never do another bad deed again. With that, Calamitous took a silent oath.

Interesting. Eustace is starting to scare me. Oh, and I don't own The Pit and the Pendulum. Thanks for reading!
