Somewhere in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert in the darkness of the night, three villains are sitting around a small campfire, plotting their latest very plan while cooking their sausages, roasting their marshmallows and boiling their coffee.

Around the small campfire, Texas Pete was looking through his pair of binoculars in the starry night sky, while Bulk was cooking sausages and Skeleton was boiling coffee over the fire.

"Tex?" Skeleton called.

Tex angrily lowered his binoculars and turned to face his henchman. "What is it, Skeleton?" he snapped.

"Why are we here in the desert?"

"I know why we're here, Skeleton," Bulk said. "It's because we're camping. Ain't that right, Tex?"

"No, Bulk!" Tex snapped. "That's not why we're here. We're here for a very important meeting."

"Who are we meeting, Tex?" Bulk asked.

"Only the evilest people in the whole world," Tex replied. "After us, of course."

"Why are we meeting them, Tex?" Skeleton asked. "And here out alone in this very cold desert?"

"I'll tell you later, Skeleton," Tex said. "For now, just get that coffee nice and ready. And, Bulk, make sure those sausages don't get burnt. You know I don't like burnt sausages, don't you?"

"No, Tex," Bulk said. "I didn't."

"Well, you do now," Tex snapped. "So, if you burn them, there will be very bad consequences."

"Consequences, Tex?" asked a very confused Bulk. "What does consequences mean?"

"It means if you burn them sausages, you will be in very big trouble and I will do something very nasty to you," Tex said. "So don't burn them. Got it?"

"But I don't got burnt sausages, Tex," Bulk said.

Tex felt that he just had to give up with this.

"Tex," Skeleton called.

"What is it now, Skeleton?" Tex snapped.

"Someone's approaching us."

Tex turned to see that Skeleton was correct. A figure approached the campfire and Tex was delighted to see him. "Polka Dot Face! Welcome!"

"Thank you for inviting me to this meeting, Texas Pete," Polka Dot Face said, shaking hands with Tex.

"Glad you made it. I take it that being a good person doesn't suit you?"

"No. I tried my very hardest, but it just wasn't me," Polka Dot Face said.

"Well, your badness will always be welcome here." Then Tex turned to his henchmen. "Hey, don't you two idiots know no manners at all? Welcome him, see that he's nice, warm and comfortable by the fire and offer him what you're cooking!"

Polka Dot Face sat down on a blanket next to Bulk and Skeleton and was offered sausages, marshmallows and a cup of coffee, all which he accepted.

Then another figure approached the camp.

"Prince Pyjamarama! Welcome!" Tex greeted, bowing to him.

"I trust this meeting is going to be productive, Mr. Pete?" Prince Pyjamarama asked.

"Indeed," Tex said. "And as promised…" He gave him a box.

The prince opened the box and was very impressed with what he saw inside it. It was brand new pyjamas.

"Well, what do you think of them?" Tex asked.

"These are very good," Pyjamarama replied.

"Great!" Tex cried. "You can have these now and even more later after this meeting if you stay and hear me out."

"Very well," Pyjamarama said. "I accept your invitation." Then he made his henchman Mufti put his special blanket by Polka Dot Face's by the campfire. They were offered sausages, marshmallows and coffee by Bulk and Skeleton, which they accepted. Pyjamarama ate the food and Mufti had whatever scraps was left, which wasn't a lot.

Then a lot of spaceships arrived and flew above the campfire.

"Perfect," said a grinning Texas Pete.

The first spaceship to land was a striped one from the Planet Stripe and out came two Striped Men, who were two former soldiers from the Striped Army who were enemy spies in the Spotted Army when Spottyman was drafted into it. They saluted Tex and he saluted them back.

"Welcome," Tex greeted. "Make yourselves comfortable."

Then the next spaceship to land came from the planet Fluffalot and out can Emperor Julius Scissors and his best Hairmongers. Then the next spaceship that landed belonged to Dr. Frost and his henchman Pengy. Then there was Bubbles the Clown and his dog Sparkly from the planet Buffo. They had their differences in the past, but they managed to put their differences aside for this meeting. Even Tex managed to put up with Bubbles' annoying jokes, tricks and sense of humour.

Then another figure approached the camp.

"Dr. Somnia! Welcome!" Tex greeted. "And that's everyone."

"So, what's this meeting about, Tex?" Skeleton asked.

"Before I tell you," Tex said, "we all must go to sleep."

All the villains were very confused.

"Go to sleep?" They all muttered.

"How can we have a meeting when we're asleep, Tex?" Skeleton asked.

"Is it a sleeping meeting?" Bulk asked. "Or is it a slumber party?"

"No, Bulk!" Tex snapped. "This ain't no slumber party. It's a very important business meeting. Now, shut up and go to sleep. All of you, except for Dr. Somnia."

Before he joined the villains, Tex nodded to Dr. Somnia before he went to sleep.


"Where are we, Tex?" Skeleton asked after he woke up. He looked around and saw that he and the villains wasn't in the Chihuahuan Desert anymore and instead was in a white futuristic room.

"We're all in a dream machine by Dr. Somina," Tex said.

"How?" Bulk asked. "And where's Dr. Somnia? Why isn't he in this dream machine?"

"Oh, he is," Tex said. "Here he is."

He moved out of the way and a knight in shining armour and on a horse appeared.

"He's here as the dreaded Sleepless Knight here," Tex said.

"Greetings," the Sleepless Knight greeted.

"Why are we having a meeting in this dream machine, Tex?" Bulk asked.

"So, no one outside this meeting will know we had it," Tex said. "Now, shut up, take your seats and pay attention, all of you."

The villains took their seats around the white table and looked at Tex, as he went to the far end of the room with a giant screen on it.

"Fellow villains and evil friends, welcome. I summoned you all here today because I have a proposition for you all. Together, we will be able to rule the whole universe. If you help me become the Supreme Emperor of the whole universe, I promise to reward each and every one of you your own entire galaxy. But there's one problem with the plan. A certain someone will come and try to stop us. Do you know I'm talking about?"

"SuperTed!" the villains replied.

"That's right." Tex pointed the black remote in his hand at the screen next to him and pressed the red button on it. On the screen appeared an image of the heroic teddy bear.

"And what about Spottyman?" Skeleton asked.

Tex pressed the red button again and the screen showed an image of SuperTed and Spottyman together.

"Well, we'll find them both and deal with them first," Tex said. "And once they're finally gone, nobody and nothing will be able to stop us from ruling the whole universe."

The villains cheered.

"Oh, Tex, you're so cleverly evil," Skeleton said.

"Thank you, Skeleton," Tex said. "I am, aren't I? Now, here's my plan to take care of the meddling teddy bear and his pimple-headed friend once and for all."

Then the villains listened with high interest to Texas Pete's plan to deal with SuperTed and Spottyman once and for all.
