//------------------------------// // Recon, props and changelings // Story: Fates hand // by PixelSprite //------------------------------// Perry's POV While I'm being carried down to the town I should make a plan for the most effective route for this recon mission, first I should trick the yellow one to let me follow them, then I'll subtly cause a little mischief to see how well they will handle it, after that I will find where they each live and learn of their daily routines. a few minutes later After being brought to the small town by the dark creature labelled as Aku, I found myself Infront of honesty's farm, if memory serves me right, the farm is called Sweet Apple Acres, I should be able to find her morning routine, as well as her flaws and strengths, valuable information for if I'm going to be helping them, as I walk up to the farm, I make sure to stay out of sight, when I make it to the actual farm, I suprisingly see all six of the elements of harmony, let's see how well they get along, and how well they work together. 'hm, they appear to be...talking...! Oh dear! The yellow Pegasus noticed me! Just blend in..you are a normal platypus.' I thought as the element of kindness approached me. "Hello there little one, what are you doing here away from the water?" She spoke with a sweet tone that felt like a mother caring for her children. "Just walking around miss Fluttershy, I must say, you sound even more caring then the others have said you are" I bluffed, getting a small blush from her, seems she doesn't take appraisement very well, the others are approaching us, I must act fast. "Miss Fluttershy, if I may ask, may I follow you and your friends today? You seem like an interesting bunch, I can see myself having fun watching you lot interact with each other." I inquired, getting a small nod from Fluttershy, she put me on her back as the other ponies got to us, plan part one success, now onto part two, but what should I do? meanwhile at stage master's base of operation stage master's POV It's been a few hours after I had sent Agent P down into the town and GLaDOS arrived having Finnished the elevator, being careful as to not interact with the crystal caves that cadence would be trapped in soon enough, I had GLaDOS make a screen for me to pull up different characters I wanted to make, I do know that they aren't as powerful as the originals and only have as much personality as I choose, I will only decrease their personality if I have no choice, if I'm going to complete my plan I'll need both villains and heroes to summon, perhaps even some fan characters from this fandom, I'll just start with a counter measure for discord and chrysalis, and maybe even recruit some of her drones. "Hmm, so, doctor, who do you think will be the best choice out of the characters you have seen thus far?" I ask Doofenshmirtz as I pull up many different characters. So far the doctor has only seen sans the skeleton from undertale, infinite the jackal from sonic forces, bendy the dancing demon from batim, mega-man from mega-man, Frisk from undertale, Jevil from deltarune, spamton from deltarune, albedo from Ben 10, and Spiderman from marvel. "Hm, I would say the skeleton and the...weird jackal, maybe the spider as well, we would need the skeleton to find these...changelings, and the jackal to deal with the chaos guy, and we could always use some extra muscle and defences against sneak attacks." Doofenshmirtz replies to my earlier question with an intelligent response as always. I then spent the rest of the day working on the props to summon the three chosen by the doctor, Infinite was definately the most difficult to create as I, being the naive prop artist that I am, decided that it was a good idea to use real gemstones for the phantom ruby, in hindsight, it was not a great idea, however, this led me to meeting with someone I had not planned to meet for at least a month. "So, Chrysalis, what do I owe the honour of meeting you in these Chrystal caves?" I asked the queen of the changelings, who seemed to be surprised to hear my voice. "Who goes there!?" Chrysalis yelled at me, she did not see me as I had hidden myself in the shadows. "My my~ no need for such hostility my Queen, I go by the alias of Stage master, but you can call me Stage for convenience, anyways, now that I've answered your question how about you answer mine? It would only be fair to do so." I answered as I walked out of the shadows and bowed to the changeling queen, I did not want to make her mad as I am not strong enough to battle her yet. "...what ARE you? I've never seen anything like you before?, And what makes you think you deserve to know why I am here?" She retorted with a question and a sneer. "I am-was known as a human, not quite sure what I am now as I've gone through quite the metamorphosis since I've gotten to this beautiful land of equestria... And I believe I should know because your plan with the princess of love won't work if you underestimate the ponies, now, toodaloo~." I answered and warned the queen of shapeshifters as I faded into the shadows after I got the crystals I needed, later reappearing within my workshop atop Mount Canterlot. While I had been traveling the shadows, I stared into the void, and had an idea, I'm going to need all the help I can get, so I might as well sommon a character that can act as a medium for any creatures, people, ponies, aliens, monsters and more who may eather be reading, listening or watching my personal story, and see what they think I should do, so, I got some extra materials and started making my new props. sundown, Mount Canterlot "Aaaannd finished." I exclaimed as I put the finishing touches on the props, I then summoned the characters from their respective props one at a time. First was sans. Then was Spider-Man. Then Infinite. And finally Core!Frisk. When I had summoned them and explained who I am, what I am doing, and the world I am in, admittedly I should have expected Infinite to be upset about this, anyway, after a while, they had calmed down and had rooms made for themselves, that was when Perry walked in with some pony I did not expect.
