Prolog 2:

"The end." Ripto spoke, snapping the small story book shut.

"And what'das this gotta do with our plans to take ovah da world?" Gnasty asked, clearly confused, and a little displeased about having to be subjected to a children's fairytale.

"I must admit, I have to side with Gnasty on this one. How does this story have any meaning to what we wish to accomplish Ripto?" The sorceress asked. The blue scaled queen sat upon her throne, glaring down at the two fools before her—her eyes squinted and unwavering. She was beginning to lose her patience with these two morons...

"Simple my dearest reason I bring this tale to you today, is because it is true." Ripto growled.

The sorcerous raised a brow. "True you say? How do you know?"

"I've witnessed it. I've seen it first hand. The girl from the tale is real. Not only that, but this girl has some of the most powerful magic I have ever witnessed in my entire life."

"Really? Hmm, interesting. Go on. " The sorceress spoke slowly. She leaned in a little closer in her throne now, clearly intrigued.

"I believe... that if we can find this girl again, we can convince her to join us. With her on our side we'd be unstoppable." Ripto mused.

"'And what makes you think she's gonna join US of all people? I mean..everybody thinks we're "evil" after all! Huh little guy? Kind of a dumb plan if you didn't consider that. " Gnasty sneered in his deep voice.

Ripto gritted his teeth, his claws now digging into the children's book as he fought back his now boiling rage.

"Little? Hm. Interesting choice of words gnasty. Well I'll tell you the rest of my plan Gnasty. The girl is still young, she'll do whatever she's told. I'm sure she will listen rather well...especially from an UGLY, IDIOTIC, BEAST LIKE YOU." Ripto barked back.

"What… did you just call me? Ya wanna say that again you little punk?!" Gnasty spoke dangerously, now directing his large bejeweled staff at Ripto. In response, Ripto chucked the book away, now pointing his glowing scepter directly at the large armored gnorc.

"OH, I would LOVE to say it again. RIGHT AS I BLAST YOUR DUMB HEAD TO BITS!" Ripto howled with rage.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" The sorceress's voice boomed through the castle room. She sent up a great bolt of lightning up with her magical staff, creating a crackling bolt that shuddered the entire castle, making the two other villains jump in shock, and lower their weapons in alarm. The sorceress let out a deep, aggravated sigh, as she sank back down in her throne. "Now that that..is over, I would prefer that you two at least try not to kill each other this time around." Gnasty gnorc and Ripto proceeded to give each other the evil eye.

"For now, I will keep the peace your majesty." Gnasty spoke to the sorceress. "No promises…" Ripto muttered under his breath with a growl. The sorceress gave an amused smirk at the two villains. "Now.. Ripto. Tell me more about this...girl."
