After a brief conversation it was discovered that this indeed was someone that Darth Tater could work with. Her name was Maleficent and she too had a hatred for this puny planet. She had always dreamed of there being more like her but until meeting Darth Tater and Spud Trooper, she never had met someone who could equal or surpass her strength. She did inform the Darth Tater however that she had collected a small band of evildoers in her quest for power and global domination.

As Darth Tater looked around the room he realized that some of those villains were standing in this very room carefully watching them. As this realization sunk in he began to laugh. Taking over this measly planet would be a piece of cake with his new found allies. He realized however that when dealing with other evil people, they would be as quick to betray him as he would to betray them. He would have to make an example of someone and soon. Darth Tater pondered what would be the quickest and easiest way he could show them the true power of the dark side and earn the allegiances through the fear that would ensue.  As he thought these things through he decided to go up and meet one of his fellow villains.

He chose a dour looking character named Grumpy. “I am Darth Tater, Dark Lord of the Empire” he quietly said as he introduced himself as to not make a raucous with those around the shop. “I’m Grumpy, what do you want?” was the response. “I’m sorry to hear that, I’m sure if you heard my plot to overthrow this planet your spirits will improve,” Darth Tater responded.  “I don’t want anything to do with a plot! I’ve sworn to live and die to preserve and protect Snow White’s kingdom!” Quickly realizing he had made an error Darth Tater stammered before being rescued by Maleficent who said “Stop grumping, he was talking about Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters!” Darth Tater decided it was time to leave his new cadre and gather more information for his plan and perhaps find the source of his anger and eliminate the source of his greatest hate and greatest pain!
