"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us today. After the press conference held by the Horsemen of Apokolips on Tuesday, the National League felt it necessary to issue a formal response with a member of each team present. Our apologies to Ms. Wilson, GM of The Legion of Doom, an attempt was made to reach her for comment but she was unavailable. Walker: Texas Ranger has graciously agreed to join us today on behalf of their team."He continued,
"True league love is more than just saying a little phrase or smiling when you are around your fellow owners. It’s about truly enjoying the people you play against. We here in the National League do not need to remember to be nice to each other because we don't get mad at other people for mentioning things like "Car Voltron" in the first place. We also don’t go off-list at the draft and take the “Veronica Mars Detective Agency” only out of spite toward another team (a NL team I might add).
What we share is a mutual respect for each other in the NL, and also for all of you in the AL, that I just don't see the American League establishing long term. Now please understand me when I say that I do truly wish the best for all of you and I hope the face of the AL can change to one of friendship and love. President Barack Obama has graciously agreed to help you all on your road to change. And also, anything that we in the NL can do to help you all, we will be glad to help. Furthermore, we would like to acknowledge that there are some very respectful teams in the AL that get lumped into all this trash talk because of a few bad apples, and to those teams, I apologize... on behalf of your fellow league mates. One of the main reasons for our doubts is that it didn't take GM Ryan Poteracki long to turn his newest recruit, one of the purist Jedi, to the dark side. Luke couldn’t even make it through a press conference without bashing the NL and saying how the AL is the “elite league” and how they are so much better than us.
Now I know the second season is still fresh, we just believe you all may still be riding high on TEAM’s victory from last year. While the AL might boast and argue that the "best teams" are in the American League, they do only get to send one team to the finals, and we cherish the opportunity to send our best against your best this spring to try and take that title from you.
Thank you all for coming. May the force be with you. May God bless America. And always, ALWAYS - NL for Life."
With those closing comments, the National League filed off stage together accepting no questions from the crowd.

Horsemen of Apokolips members Supergirl and Grand Jedi Master Luke Skywalker have called this press conference today. Reigning Regular Season M.V.P. Supergirl enters first, followed closely behind by the 2009 Number One overall Draft Pick, Luke Skywalker.
"Thank you all for hearing us today," begins Supergirl. "This is a call to arms to the entire American League. We here in the Horsemen locker room are sick and tired off this constant badmouthing coming from the National League teams. All we hear day in and day out is "N.L. Love" "What do you expect from the A.L. No love for their fellow teams" Well I say ENOUGH!”
Luke Skywalker steps to the microphone to add to Supergirl’s comments. “I’ve only been in this league but for a short time, but those who know me would agree that I would never agree to join a team let alone a league that does not strive on respect. The American League is the elite league. Don’t get me wrong; the National League is stacked with amazing teams. But the A.L. is the cream of the crop. The teams in the A.L. have had their differences in the past, but we here in the Horsemen locker room are calling them out to join together and show the National League that not only were they wrong say the things they did but they will regret ever doing so.”
Supergirl then jumps back up to the microphone to add, “I don’t care who you are, Megatron, General Zod, Captain America, Brandon Inge, everyone! This is the time to show the National League just what we’re made of! Thank you.”
In their first ever Regular Season match, the Brotherhood of Evil Midgets teleport to Detroit. Or at least that’s what they thought. “Gwildor! This isn’t Detroit. It’s Windsor! Look, there’s Cheetah’s (meow) right there. We’re in Canada!” shouts an irritated Superboy. “I’ve had to sit by and watch both Superman and Supergirl dominate this league for an entire year, and I’ll be damned if some Thenurian with a faulty Cosmic Key is going to keep me out of action any longer!” “Whoa, dude. Don’t you think you’re being a little harsh on him? I mean Detroit’s right across the river,” asks Skimmell. “Ehh, you’re right Skim. Sorry Gwildor, I’m just a little anxious,” replies Superboy. “Oh no harm, no harm. Just hit an extra key that’s all. Nothing to worry about,” says Gwildor. Superboy then grabs Gwildor and Raichu and flies across the river to Hart Plaza. Toad jumps into his Go-Kart and Skimmell transforms this Exo-Suit and they head to the Ambassador Bridge to get across the Detroit River. Shortly after Superboy lands with Gwildor and Raichu in tow, USAgent and Grapple show up to Hart Plaza. “Grapple, have you seen Jerry yet?” asks USAgent. “Nope not yet,” replies Grapple. Superboy spots their opponents and doesn’t waste any more time. He flies in and dropkicks Grapple into the Dodge Fountain, which causes it to rupture and spray water all over Grapple. Raichu then fires a massive arc of electricity that completely fries the Autobot’s internal circuitry, extinguishing his spark. USAgent launches his shield at Gwildor, who narrowly escapes it, but it ricochets off of the Hart Plaza stage and comes right back to decapitate Gwildor. USAgent snags the shield out of the air and spin kicks Conner Kent in the mouth. Superboy fires his heat vision at USAgent, but he blocks it with his shield. Jerry, Failed Jedi #1, finally shows up to the fight. “Oh we started already??” asks a surprised Jerry. USAgent is too busy fending off Superboy to even respond to such a ridiculous comment. Just then, Skimmell and Toad come peeling in and try to take out Jerry. Even though he didn’t pass the trials, the Force still flows through Jerry and he senses this attack. He does a back flip over them and uses his training lightsaber to damage the engine on Toad’s Go-Kart. Toad goes spinning out of control and smashes into a light post, popping all three of his balloons, thus killing him on impact. Raichu tries to light up Jerry with his electricity, but the Failed Jedi blocks it with his small lightsaber. However, this distraction does allow Skimmell to transform his Exo-Suit and blast Jerry in the back, knocking the Failed Jedi down. Superboy grabs USAgent and launches him up onto the stage. He then looks over at Skimmell. “Dude, Skimmell, where have you been??” “Oh sorry, we got stuck in customs at the border,” responds the clone of Tim Cheveldae and Alan Trammell, only with 10% less fat. USAgent then launches his shield at Superboy, who snaps around and catches it in mid air. Conner then uses his super strength to bend the shield in half. Superboy then flies over to USAgent and shoves the halved shield right into his chest. Jerry sees this and feels it’s best to head back to the locker room.
THE BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MIDGETS ARE VICTORIOUS!
About one week before Alice’s Wonder Team have their first Regular Season match since being placed under new ownership, they received a videotape that they were instructed to watch. New Head Coach Grand Admiral Thrawn sits his team down in the locker room to view this mysterious tape. It’s grainy and in black and white. It starts with just a shot of an old well. Then a really creepy looking girl crawls out of the well and starts moving towards the screen. Then all of a sudden the well explodes and out climbs a giant Hulk looking figure. He stares directly at the screen and gets up close to it. “Samara is the least of your worries,” growls the monster. Then, unexplainably, his massive red hand reaches through the screen and crushes Kenny McCormick. “Omigod! They killed Kenny! You bastards!” scream Stan Marsh and Kyle Broflovski. The hand then retreats back into the screen and Red Hulk says “Seven days.” The screen goes black and the videotape ejects itself. General Zod leaps out of his chair and bellows “This attack must not go unpunished! Send me to Detroit, so I may personally make them kneel before the awesome might of Alice’s Wonder Team!”
Beckerman’s Backyardigans Beeyaatches are Red Hulk and Samara Morgan.
Alice’s Wonder Team is General Zod, Goblin #2-4.
Red Hulk crashes down in from of the Renaissance Center and Samara creepily climbs out of a sewer. Gamma radiation is emanating out of the angry monster as he literally melts the pavement with every step. Samara a crawling around the sidewalk and is all of a sudden crushed by General Zod slamming down on top of her. He then orders his trio of Goblins to attack “Rulk.” Zod completely underestimates Rulk as he makes very quick work of the Goblins. In an act of arrogance, Rulk rips the head off of Goblin #4 and hits Zod in the chest with it. “Come on you fairy, let’s go,” grunts Rulk. Zod swoops in to attack Rulk, but he side steps the Kryptonian and slaps him down onto the sidewalk. Rulk stomps his massive foot into the back of Zod, then grabs his leg and launches him into the Renaissance Center. General Zod flies out of the building back at Rulk, only this time he uses his freeze breath to try and cool off the behemoth. He encases Rulk in a solid block of ice, which only holds him but for a moment. Rulk uppercuts Zod hard, up into the air. “You think a little ice can stop me?!” an increasingly angry Rulk shouts. He slams his fist down on the ground causing a large crack in the road (which probably won’t even be noticed by motorists). Zod then fires his heat vision directly into Rulk’s chest, which just cause Rulk to laugh. “Ha! Don’t you know what they say? “The madder Rulk gets, the HOTTER Rulk gets!”” “Yes, I have heard that. Which is exactly my point. I’m just trying to speed the process up for you,” replies Zod. He then starts laying haymakers across Rulk’s jaw. He’s getting angrier and angrier, and kicks the General in the stomach. Rulk jumps on top of General Zod and starts slamming him over and over again. “I’M GOInnn… tttooo… k..k..i..lll.. yoo…u…” Yells Rulk, but starts getting light headed. A battered General Zod spits out some blood and smirks at him. “Finally, we’re getting somewhere.” He then cracks him with a double uppercut, sending him up into the air, which General Zod flies up after him. Zod then grabs the overheated and unconscious Rulk and spins him around sending him far into Canada.
ALICE’S WONDER TEAM IS VICTORIOUS!
