Palpatine, Maleficent, The Evil Queen, and Vader were in the Glendale Galleria on Thanksgiving, eating food from the food court, since they were desperate to have a Thanksgiving meal.

"This time of year is so heartwarming and joyful that even the Dark Lord of the Sith can be grateful." Palpatine said. "Dig in, everyone!" They were munching on their Japanese food from Sarku Japan, enjoying the holiday cheer.

"It has been a while since we were on the lam, and now it's time to come home." Vader said. The Evil Queen turned them back into their normal forms, since they were in a civilized area. There was the foot clacking of heavy boots that Vader overheard from the distance. Men in black armored uniforms with gold accents pointed laser guns at the villains, firing into the crowd.

"Freeze, evildoers!" The VEAL soldiers said. "You're coming with us!" Vader threw his lightsaber at the VEAL soldiers, chopping them up. The villains ran for their lives while more VEAL units showed up. The Evil Queen hid behind the big Christmas tree, but VEAL shot lasers at the tree, making it catch fire.

"You can't stop me with little playthings." The Evil Queen said. She used her magic, turning the Veal soldiers into raccoons. Vader threw his lightsaber and took out the raccoons. More VEAL soldiers arrived, some even came in armored vehicles and ATVs.

"There are too many of them, we have to escape!" Palpatine said. The four villains ran outside the mall and hijacked a police car.

"FLOOR IT!" The Evil Queen shouted. Palpatine hit the gas and used the power of the Dark Side to make the car rise and fly into Club Villain. Palpatine crashed the car through the window just as the closing ceremony for the Club Villain Olympics was being held.

"You missed it!" Thanos said. "You missed the Club Villain Olympics!"

"Dammit." Palpatine said. He stood on the first place pedestal as the Galactic Empire Anthem played.

"Why is the Galactic Empire anthem playing?" Harley asked.

"Palpatine is the Emperor of the Empire!" Vader answered.

Meanwhile, at a press conference from the Hollywood Bowl, the VEAL commander, Commander Ismail, a black man with one white eye surrounded by a scar and one blue eye, and wore a black armored uniform with a black cape with the golden VEAL bull logo on it.

"My name is Ismail, commander of the Villain Extermination Allied Legion, and I am here to answer your questions." He answered the question from reporter Kailey Kane, a woman with blonde hair and glasses, blue eyes, and a white blazer, aqua blue shirt, white pants and aqua blue heels.

"Yes, reporter Kailey." Ismail said.

"How will VEAL impact our daily lives?" Kailey asked.

"When VEAL has won the war on villainy, you are free to go about your daily lives." Ismail asked. Ismail answered another question from an Asian man with short black hair, glasses and a black suit, red shirt, black pants and black shoes.

"How long will the occupation last?" the Asian man said.

"As long as there are villains running amok in Los Angeles." Ismail said. "There was a girl named Kylie North who was my daughter. She was a young teenager who lived on Alderaan, where she went to school and was a cheerleader for her high school's Grav-ball team. She even had a boyfriend who was on the team who she was dating."

"She had all that she wanted until some villain activated his Death Star laser cannon, blowing up Alderaan with her on it! If Kylie was your daughter, how far do you want me to go?" The crowd was silent. Ismail continued on with his plans to hunt down the villains wherever they would nest.
