ALTERNATE INTRO SEQUENCE FOR THIS STORY:
Narrator:
"Long, long ago, deep in a forest, there was a hidden village where tiny red creatures lived. They called themselves the Smurfs. They were evil." (Pause as we see these Smurfs in evil torturous action.) "And then there was Gargamel, a human wizard. He was good."
Gargamel:
"Oooh, I can't stand those Smurfs!" (Pause as we see Azrael being chased off by a Smurf.) "One of these days, I'll find those Smurfs, and I'll put a stop to their evil ways, once and for all, if that's the last thing I'll ever do. No human will ever have to put up with these creatures anymore."
Narrator:
"The forest is still there. If you listen, you may hear Gargamel's promise. But if you're not careful, you may catch a glimpse...of the Smurfs!"
(Sequence ends with a Mirror Universe Smurf sitting on top of the EMPATH: THE LUCKIEST SMURF title logo with the word NASTIEST spray-painted over LUCKIEST.)
