EVIL NED is in a dark room bowing on one knee. His body is shaking from fear. A CREEPY VOICE is talking to him.

CREEPY VOICE: So your little helper turned against you, did he?

EVIL NED: I didn't expect it, it was all his brother's fault, I didn't know that he would be there--

CREEPY: No... But I did. You should have reported to me who you chose as your servant before leaving this island.

EVIL NED: Master, please--

CREEPY: I will not punish you...

EVIL NED looks up in surprise.

...too harshly. However, this does greatly delay and complicate my plan.

EVIL NED: Sir... I hope you don't mind me asking, but... why can't you just take over the island yourself?

CREEPY: I want to.

The voice laughs to itself.

Oh, I want to so badly. But I can't. Not yet.

EVIL NED: Why not... sir?

The source of the voice is finally seen for the first time. In front of EVIL NED is floating a large, fluid mass of dark purple un-odd energy. The voice emanating from it sighs.

CREEPY: It is not yet my... time.

Blackout.
