-WILY LOG PAGE 155: RECRUITING THE LEGION OF DOOM.

Before Recruiting

After forcing the Equis ponies to build my new Skull Castle on top of their little city of Canterlot, I figured I'd need some help from the villains OF Planet Equis to help me in taking it over and also to defeat the heroes it has, as I was certain it would. I decided to use a new device I'd constructed to locate dark magic, which would most definitely lead me to a villain, to guide me towards them so I wouldn't be flying around like an idiot, more specifically, Dr. Thomas Light. Less than five seconds after booting it up, however, I got a HUGE energy signal coming from an area my map couldn't identify, so I decided to drop Bass and Treble off to watch over construction and followed the signals.

Recruiting Tirek and Cozy Glow

I approached the signal, which was coming from an area my map now recognised as Tartarus, which is essentially Hell. I busted in, which wasn't easy, and defeated the Cerberus guarding the area. Once I did, I approached the cells that contained the two most notorious villains on the planet: a centaur named Tirek and a filly named Cozy Glow. I know, the latter sounds weird, but my research showed that she had once tried to drain and banish ALL the magic from the planet, and NEARLY managed it. The moment I got out of my Wily Capsule, however, I was confronted (as best they could in those cells) by a clearly angry centaur.

"And who are YOU? We don't see your type around Equestria," Tirek asked me. "You look kind of like me, only...with two legs instead of four? No horns, no magic, even my SECOND form could beat you in a fight."

"Now, Tirek, we shouldn't be rude to humans. After all, we may not see them that often, since they come from another world, or planet, but they are a force to be reckoned with," Cozy Glow assured him. "Now, who are you and why did you come to bust us out?"

"My name is Doctor Albert Wily, but just call me Wily." I answered. "I busted this joint because I need your help with something."

"What would you need OUR help for?" Tirek asked, clearly still angry at me. "For all we know, you'll backstab us at the last minute and have us sent back here, to Tartarus."

"Tirek, he wouldn't free us if he was going to betray us," Cozy Glow told him. "Why not just let me do the talking for you?"

"Fine. I'll shut my mouth and let you handle it, Cozy Glow."

"Now, I believe Tirek was trying to say: why do you need our help?" she asked.

"Well, I'll put it this way: what if I told you I could help you take over Planet Equis, or as you call it, Equestria, single-handed?" I offered. "All I need is for you to contribute towards helping me defeat this planet's heroes, and I'll help you defeat my planet's," I added. Cozy Glow stayed remarkably calm, but Tirek's jaw dropped at my proposition.

"It's a deal," Cozy said.

"Count me in, Doc." Tirek added.

"Brilliant!" I said. "Now, if you'll allow me to, I need to bust you out and restore your powers. This won't take a moment," I added, pulling out a laser gun. With one zap on each lock, they fell off the cell doors and the two were able to walk out. I then set my laser to "Restore Dark Magic" and zapped them, restoring Tirek to his second form and Cozy's flight capabilities.

"Oh yeah! Welcome back, bulk!" Tirek said to himself. "So, what now?"

"Now?" Wily said. "Heheheh. Let's unite the villains of Equis."

Recruiting Queen Chrysalis

After completing the castle, including shield, I got into contact with Shadow Man. He picked up, but had a strange...slur to his voice.

"This is Shadow Man. How may I, or my master, help you?" he said.

"Your...master? Shadow Man, that's me. Why haven't you left that place yet?" I asked.

"That would be because your little robot now belongs to me, Wily." a very unfamiliar voice told me from Shadow Man's audio call. I could tell it was a female on the line.

"What?! Who are you and what have you done to Shadow Man?" I asked.

"Do not be alarmed. I am Queen Chrysalis, ruler of the Changeling race," she answered. "As for your robot, I cast a spell on him and his little cohort to put them on our side."

"The...Changelings? Oh right! You're THAT Chrysalis! My remaining robots said something about you. A failed conqueror, like me." I said. "Do you mind having Shadow Man switch to his video call? I really want to talk to you in...uh...person, I guess?"

"Not at all. Shadow Man, you have your orders." Chrysalis told him.

"If that is what you wish, my queen." Shadow Man said in his mind-blank slur. My call cut for a second, then I saw her for the first time, and I will be honest, she was absolutely stunning. After picking myself back up, I continued the conversation.

"So, Shadow Man and Snake Man are under your spell, are they?" I said. "You can keep them if you like, but what if I said I could help you?"

"Go on...um...I never got your name." she said, obviously asking what my name was.

"Doctor Albert Wily." I told her. "As for what I was saying, we're both failed conquerors, but if we worked together-" I began.

"NO. I am a QUEEN, not a pawn. I work alone...well, alone with an army of Changelings." she snapped.

"I wasn't saying you'd work FOR me, I'm saying you'd work WITH me." I told her. "If we worked together, we'd be able to take over not only Planet Equis, or as you call it, Equestria, but the whole galaxy."

"Interesting. I obviously jumped to conclusions a bit too fast. Tell me more..."

"Well, you, me and a bunch of other villains from Planet Equis once I get them on the team will be working to plunge the planet under our control." I continued. "And NO, not in a magic way, but in an imperialism way."

"Say nothing more, Wily. Do you mind if I call you Wily?" she said. "Regardless, I'm in on your little scheme. I've got a feeling with your help, we'll be able to finish what we never could."

"Perfect. Welcome to the Legion of Doom, Queen Chrysalis." I said. "According to my list, we still have Nightmare Moon, Daybreaker, King Sombra, Starlight Glimmer, the Sirens and Discord left to recruit."

"Well, Starlight's reformed, and is on my To-Kill list, so she's out. I have no idea who the Sirens are, Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker are long gone, King Sombra's been dead for years and Discord is also reformed." Chrysalis affirmed quickly.

"Well, come over to Canterlot, now more appropriately Skull Castle, and I can run down on the details." I said.

"I don't really have time right now. Besides, I need to get the rest of the brood to take their nap and still get it myself. I'll be there as soon as possible." she told me before hanging up. We had an army on the team now.

Recruiting Discord

My Dark Magic Detector was going nuts around Ponyville. Going there led me straight to the Lord of Chaos, Discord. As usual, he was keeping himself occupied by making chaos happen by snapping his claw...or...paw. I don't know what he's supposed to be, his head is a pony's, but his body is made from basically every creature imaginable.

"Uh, excuse me? Do you know where I could find someone named Discord?" I asked. He turned to face me when I spoke.

"Are you looking for me, perhaps?" he said. "I know, I look rather strange, but that's just what happens when you're born my species."

"Wait...YOU'RE the Lord of Chaos? I find that a little..."

"Hard to swallow?" he asked, taking the words right out of my mouth.

"Exactly. I'd like your help, but unfortunately for you it means using your chaotic powers for evil again, but then, isn't chaos an embodiment of evil?" I said. "Letting your powers go to waste like this doesn't seem healthy for you."

"My...powers are going to waste?" he asked. "But...why would that be happening?"

"Because from what I've seen, you are physical chaos. By using your powers like this, you'll slowly fade out of existence." I told him, trying to trick him into going bad.

"That...almost happened once. I don't want a repeat of that! Tell me, what do I do to keep my form?"

"You can start by helping me conquer Planet Equis, more aptly named Equestria." I said. Discord, completely oblivious to the fact that he was being blatantly tricked, agreed to join the Legion of Doom in a heartbeat and almost plunged the entirety of Ponyville back into it's chaotic state. I explained who we were missing that we could recruit, and he said that we now only needed Sombra, Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker to have all the villains united. The Sirens would be impossible to recruit, and were practically useless without their gems, which they didn't have. The Pony of Shadows, which I never knew existed, was also impossible to get, due to him being a pony named Stygian who had been freed from darkness not too long ago and wouldn't be getting that form back anytime soon, so he was out.

Recruiting King Sombra

My detector was again going nuts near the Crystal Empire, which is where I'd headed to pick up Sombra. It turned out I'd had to revive him, which was actually rather difficult. Once I succeeded, however, Sombra was less than happy to hear that I wanted his help.

"Why should I help you? What's in it for me?" he demanded.

"W-well, if you work with me, I'll GIVE you not only the Crystal Empire, but all of Equestria." I answered, nervously.

"Yeah, right. Don't make promises you can't keep, human. You'll probably backstab me at the first chance you get and sic the Elements of Harmony on me again." he said.

"Look, I'm serious. I'll remain loyal to you all until we win or somehow lose. In the words of the annoying pink pony Diamond always hangs with: Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." I recited painfully.

"Alright...I'm in, but don't expect us to get along." he told me. "I've got my eye on you, and if you try to break that promise of yours, I'll plunge you into your worst fears for eternity."

"I'm telling you, I don't even KNOW what the Elements of Harmony are. Not that I could use them, they're forces for good!" I told him.

"Oh, well in that case, my suspicions are cleared." he said. "You're good, doc. I feel like we'll get on better than I originally thought."

"Now we only have two more villains to get, but it won't be easy." I said. "We're after Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker, and I have no idea who EITHER of them are."

"You mean the evil forms of Princesses Celestia and Luna. It's a simple spell - for me, at least - to force their dark forms out." he said. "Let's head to your castle so we can perform it."
