Chapter 2: planning and Observations.

"hm... If I'm going to fulfil my savours request, I'm going to need a plan..." Leo spoke to himself as he taps one of his fingers on his chin in thought.

"After the letter resolved into me, I've been getting flashes of different worlds... Different stories, a teenage robot with the power to solve absolutely anything with the press of a button, another version of myself, a blue hedgehog with excessive speed and attitude, and of course, you, dear readers, it's been four weeks since the last chapter by the way, yes, I am aware that from your perspective, I am but a story, an idea as the meat Dorito says, heh, guess that means I am immortal now, but that is besides the point, the point is, how will I use this knowledge to my advantage?" Leo asks, looking up towards the sky with a thoughtful look upon his face.

"Ok, let's think here, what do I now know about THIS world?. . . . I'm in the land of Equestria, which is filled with Ponies, and many mythical creatures, the leaders are called Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, it's been about a week since some creature called Discord tried to take over Equestria, but he was stopped by six ponies using artifacts called the elements of harmony, hm... My best bet right now is to steal one of them... And to do that, I'll need a way to grab them before they can use them against me...... But how?" Leo asks himself as he begins to pace in circles within the ruins of a fallen castle.

After a while of contemplation, Leo smirks and snaps his fingers. "That's it! There are a few in the Undertale unit capable of stopping time for short instances and can use magical binding string, if I can combine both of these factors, I could steal the elements before they can charge their magic! And speaking of magic, I think that's the one I'll take.... But I'll need a 'Villain' name for myself..... Eh, I'll think of it as I make my way to town." Leo shrugs to himself as he makes his way out of the castle and reaches to the gauntlet upon his arm.

"I won't need much to make the prop for Error's abilities, just some eye contacts and red skin tight gloves..." Leo murmurs as he taps his hand onto the glowing symbol on the gauntlet, popping up a digital screen that he then reaches his hand into . . . . And pulling out exactly what he needed. "Huh, it was so simple that I could just pull out the completed materials, good to know."

Leo hums to himself as he puts on the red gloves and sets in the red and blue eye contacts, shivering in delight as he feels the magic of a monster flowing through his veins. "Oh yeah, this'll do nicely..."

Leo chuckles darkly as he walks down a dirt path through the everfree forest, stretching his red, gloved hands as he begins to test his newfound magic,holding out his hands as blue strings shoot out from his fingertips and latch onto a nearby tree, effortlessly ripping it out of the ground and tossing it high into the sky.

"...ok, the strings are more than strong enough, got it, but how about shortcuts?" Leo murmurs as he looks out from the fallen castle and across the old, wooden bridge, and with a smirk, he blinks and finds himself on the other side of the bridge. "Hm, so all I need to do is blink while thinking of teleporting, unique."

'sigh' "now all I need to do is find a name for myself... I'm not going with puppet master, too similar to the other me, prop master? No. prop maker? Too on the nose. The Unknown?......it'll have to do for now...." Leo sighs as he walks down the dirt path yet again, eventually finding himself at the edge of the forest..... Where all hell was breaking loose, chaos flowing everywhere, pigs flying, buildings floating, the ground looking like a checkers board, and even the sky was a different colour.

"Ah, so I'm at The return of Harmony, but when during this two parter am I at?" Leo asks himself as he 'shortcuts' throughout the town, making sure to remain hidden..... Until he heard voices.

"Chaos is a wonderful, wonderful thing." Sounded a masculine voice, prompting Leo to look in the direction of the sound, spotting six ponies and what appears to be a living Zoo.

"Not as wonderful as friendship." The purple unicorn exclaims with conviction, the other ponies nodding in agreement.

"Oh, this again?" The living Zoo deadpans as he drinks his chocolate milk glass and tossed the chocolate milk over his shoulder, where it promptly explodes upon hitting the ground.

"That's right. You couldn't break apart our friendship for long." The orange earth pony exclaimed as she glared at the Draconequus.

"Oh, Applejack. Don't lie to me. I'm the one who made you a liar. Will you ever learn?" Discord spoke as he used his magic to lift the orange earth pony, followed by her friends, minus the unicorn.

However, before the Draconequus can do anything to the five ponies, the unicorn teleports between Discord and her friends, encasing them in a protective bubble before lowering them to the ground.

"I'll tell you what we've learned, Discord: we've learned that friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for!" The purple unicorn, Twilight Sparkle exclaimed as she glared at Discord.

"Ugh, gag. Fine, go ahead. Try and use your little Elements. Friend me. Just make it quick. I'm missing some excellent chaos here." Discord mock gags and sticks out his tongue as he floats over to, and sits down on his makeshift throne with a bored expression on his face.

"All right, ladies, let's show him what friendship can do!" Twilight exclaims confidently as she and her friends prepare themselves to use the artifact jewellery, minus one pink earth pony.

"Wait-wait-wait!" The pink earth pony, Pinkie Pie exclaims before jumping underneath a cotton candy cloud and drinking it's chocolate milk rain for a few seconds before bouncing over to her friends as she crouches and growls at Discord, the artifacts, The elements of Harmony, beginning to glow as the six ponies stand side to side.

Discord doesn't notice as the six ponies are enveloped in a rainbow light and float off of the ground, Harmonic magic radiating all around them.

"Huh. What's this?" Discord mutters as he turns to look at the ponies, only for his eyes to widen in fear as he views the very same magic that had turned him into stone a thousand years ago shine before him yet again.

"No. Nooooo!" Discord exclaims, flailing around in panic as a rainbow of harmonic magic cascades up from the ponies, and down onto him, slowly turning Discord into stone.

As the statue that Discord now is falls to the ground, so do the six ponies as their rainbow of harmonic magic forms a clear dome around the town and cleanses it of the chaos the Draconequus had spread, leaving the six ponies unconscious.

"...and this is where I step in, gotta be quick, don't know how long they will be down for." Leo whispers to himself as he waits for the harmonic magic to fade before holding out his left hand and slinging strings towards the purple unicorn's crown, the strings independently latching onto the Element of Magic contained in the crown.

"Gotcha." Leo smirks as he forms his hand into a fist and pulls his hand back, causing the strings to retract and pull the element of magic with them. "Your mine now, now to wait for them to wake up so I can introduce myself..."
