"Scootaloo!? What happened?!? Get her to a table so I can patch her up. Now!!" I exclaimed in shock at seeing Agent P bring in a heavily injured Scootaloo, as Perry put her onto a table and I started to clean and stitch up some of her more major injuries, he started to explain what happened before he got here.
'sigh' "I had just finished watching and documenting each elements morning routine when I heard some loud banging and some shouts." Perry started to explain as I continued to patch up the young Pegasus.
earlier in the day
Perry's pov
"Hmm, so the element of magic lives in a library with a baby dragon capable of speech, fascinating..." I had surmised as I turned around and started on my way back out of the rain and to base away from the edge of town when-!!
BANG!! CRASH!! KABANG!!
The sounds of commotion could be heard further away from the town, as I headed to the location of the sounds I found a blood boiling sight.
"AND STAY OUT YOU USELESS DAREDEVIL!!" an older pony shouted as he bucked a smaller and much younger pony out of the house, leaving the poor pony to bleed out in the rain, as I got closer I could see that the poor pony was just a child, I could see a. Bleeding. CHILD. Infront of me, it took every ounce of mental strength to resist attacking the monster responsible for her state as I picked her up and started my way back to base to have S.m patch her up.

"-and then I arrived at the rondeau point and had the shadow creature lift me and the filly back to the base and you can guess the rest" Perry retold as I finished patching up the small pony and sat her on a mattress I had made with the phantom ruby prop.
'sigh' "ok, she's stable, now all we have to do is wait for her to wake up, hopefully she won't freak out to much, I don't want her to hurt herself even more, and with that idea in mind, I'm making another prop, this time a healer, and I already know who I'm going to choose, although, she will need a few friends with her if she is going to help." I speak relieved that Scootaloo is in a stable state and at very low risk of injuring herself as I walk back to my work bench to work on some props.
Scootaloo's room
Doofenshmirtz pov
"So, Perry, while I was doing my research on this world I found this game called Ogre's and Oubliettes, it's very similar to a game back home, it's like a roleplaying tabletop RPG where one player makes the world, they are called the Dungeon Master, or DM for short, and the other players explores that world and defeats the evil villain of the story by rolling dice to do different actions and collecting items to better their stats, I was even able to replicate a first edition of the game, sooooo.......you want to play a round with me?" I asked my arch enemy now in a truce with me until we meet the ponies as our villain and hero selves in hopes of passing the time.
'sigh' "sure doc, it'll be a nice distraction from what happened earlier, so, how do we start?" Perry agreed to play, we then spent the next few hours playing the DnD equivalent after I helped Perry make a character, needless to say, Perry is suprisingly good at roleplaying and I couldn't be happier, anyway, when we finished our first campaign, we heard a groan from the bed next to us.
"Ugh...w-what happened and where a-" the filly groaned before freezing at the sight of us.
"Uhhh, hi?" I said in a slightly panicked tone as I didn't know what to say.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?"

"And done!" 'sigh' "I just hope you will be able to help her" I sighed as I summoned my newest companions.
"H-huh!? W-where am I?!" The first one panicked as she looked around.
'sigh' "why can't I ever get any sleep..." The second one sighed as he got into a battle stance, neither having noticed each other yet.
"Hey! Please calm down, I mean you no harm, I have merely summoned you here as I needed some help with a friend of mine." I explained bringing their attention to me.
"And why should I believe you?" The second one questioned, getting the attention of the first.
"Mr.Aizawa?" The first questioned in confusion and relief.
"Eri!?" The second one now known as Aizawa exclaimed with shock and suprise giving the first name, that being Eri.
"Ok, good so now you both know that you are both here, let me show you why I needed the two of you" I say as I started to lead them to the medical bay only to hear panicked screaming.
"What the!?" I exclaimed as I ran to the medical bay with the company of the pro hero and curs-no-blessed child.
As we got to the medical bay we see.... Dr Heinz being chased by Scootaloo and Perry just watching while eating popcorn-how did he?- nevermind I've got to settle this.
"Ahem!, Kid, please calm down, I brought you here to heal, so please don't move too much, and you, Perry, why were you just watching this!?' I exasperated with a sigh as Perry just shrugged his shoulders as he walked Doofenshmirtz out of the room to another medical bay so he can lay down.
"And why should I trust you!?" The young Pegasus exclaimed in panicked anger.
"Kid, one of my agent's saw you get kicked out of your house, bleeding out in the rain and brought you to me, I then stitched up the injury put onto your hind legs, I also just got a friend to help heal you better than I could, you can come out now." I explain as I stepped out of the doorway, allowing Aizawa and Eri to enter the room, when Eri saw Scootaloo, she ruched over to her in excitement, completely forgetting her fear.
'gasp!' "Look! Look! Mr.Aizawa! A pony!" Eri exclaimed as she hugged Scootaloo...who seemed uncomfortable.
"Now Eri, be careful with her, she was recently hurt, witch is one of the reasons I bought you here, with your blessing I believe, with Aizawa's help, you could heal her." I explain gently as she put Scootaloo down and ran over to Aizawa.
"Blessing? What do you mean?" Scootaloo asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"Well, you see kid, Eri here has a power called 'Rewind' and with her power she can rewind the state of anything and anyo-er-anypony she touches, and if she trained her power enough she could be the greatest healer of all time, but she doesn't have the greatest control at the moment, that's why Aizawa is here, as with his ability, he can stop anything bad from happening while Eri heals you." I explained with a smile as I saw sparkles appear in her eyes.
"So Cool!!" She shouted with excitement.
"Right it is, however, if I'm going to care for you, I'm not going to keep any secrets." I explained to the young pony as she looked at me in confusion along side the two I recently summoned.
"Secrets?" Aizawa asked as he looked at me suspiciously.
'sigh' "let us talk about this in the living room so we may have a seat." I enquired as I led the small group to the living quarters of my base, when we get there, we all take a seat on different lounges.
"So, Stage master, what is this 'secret' of yours?" Aizawa asked as he looked at me with an extensive stare.
'sigh' "I'm not going to sugarcoat it, I am a villain who uses villainy to help train the heroes both physically and mentally." I explained as I pulled out special made cuffs and put them on my hands and toss Aizawa the key.
"But...if you're a villain, why did you save me?" Scootaloo asked as she had a confused look on her face, Eri giving a ferm nod of agreement to Scootaloo's question.
"Just because I am a villain does not mean I am heartless, when I see someone who has fallen to tragedy, I will lend them my hand and pull them up from the pain and begin the process of healing, and besides, I draw the line at children." I explained my reasoning to the two children, the two make an 'Oohing sound in response.
"Even if that is the case, what to you hope to gain in revealing your villainy to us?" Aizawa asked as he looked at me suspiciously.
"Help, for the ponies, not me, you see, I don't work like most villains, I don't wish to take over or destroy everything, I merely wish to...enlighten the heroes of this world, to help them see the difference between a true hero and villain from a false hero and poor soul brought to villainy through tragedy, not unlike what you have just, and possibly have been, experiencing Scootaloo." As I explained I could see the three finally relax, and Aizawa suprisingly released my from my cuffs.
"Well, it's getting late, we better get to sleep, hey GLaDOS, are their rooms ready yet?" I asked the hyper intelligent robot.
"noooo~ how would I ever make three rooms in one night~" GLaDOS responded with sass.
'sigh' "just, just follow me, we should all have a good sleep, it's almost midnight." I spoke as I led the group to the dorm area of my base I really need a name for that... anyway, we all went to sleep after Eri and Aizawa helped to heal Scootaloo.
a week later
It's been a about a week now, Scootaloo has excepted my base as a home, thankfully, and from the sounds of my latest report with Perry, I've found that I am in the middle of the events of episode 8, 'The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well', so, I've decided that now would be the best time to have the first of many conversations with Celestia, I'll just need a character and a proper means for offence and defence, and I have just the character and tool in mind.
an hour and 27 minutes later
"And, done!, Now to go and have that 'talk'" I speak as I finish making my props, which were, a ring of Kurogiri's neck brace and the Abundant Glove from the marvel comics, I first fused with Kurogiri, coating my left arm and the left side of my face in purple smoke, also giving me Kurogiri's left eye, I then put on the Abundant glove and make a portal to Celestia's throne room.
Canterlot castle throne room
As I exited the portal, I activated the Abundant glove, making the throne room inaccessible and soundproof.
"Hello, Celestia." I spoke as I gave a dramatic mock bow as she gives me a stoic stare.
"Stagemaster." Celestia simply spoke as she looked into my eyes, trying to read what I am thinking no doubt.
"Princess, I would like to have a little 'chat'" I spoke as I coated the entire room in a gentle bluish green colouration, blocking all sound and magic from eather being used or from escaping the room
"What is it you wish to speak about?" Celestia questioned me as she raises her eyebrow, giving an uninterested look.
"Well princess, I would like to announce that I will be unofficially adopting a filly who has been kicked from her home, I won't be announcing who they are though as I wish for them to have a normal-ish life." I announced to the princess of the sun, holding Back a laugh at the surprised expression she gave me.
"Ba-bye~ sunbut!, Kehehe!!~" I exclaimed as used Kurogiri's warp gate to leave back to my base now dubbed 'The Shadow Retreat' by Scootaloo.
