Sabre and Twilight had just regrouped with everyone else. Assistant Steve currently is knocking on the door.
"Come on, open the door already," Assistant Steve repeated, slamming his metal solid right fist against the crooked, slightly mossy wooden door. Eventually, the door opens, with Zecora standing there, yawning, her left forehoof covering her mouth.
"What took you so long? I've been knocking for five minutes, you moron," Assistant Steve spoke before Zecora could even speak.
"Assistant, you need to chill with the name calling man- Anyway, I'm so sorry about that Zecora," Sabre said as he got infront of Assistant Steve to talk to Zecora.
"We now have a plan to take Madness down for good. We need your help now more than ever," Sabre briefly explained their reason for showing up at this time.
"But at the moment it's night. The time right now isn't right," Zecora responded, still yawning, her eyes starting to get more watery the more she yawned.
"Please Zecora, too many have been taken. If we don't stop him now, more will follow. We have to stop him not later, we have to do it here and now. I know this is a big ask, but please," Sabre insisted, who wanted to get Madness Steve out the way, especially that they have, or at least seem to have the answer to stopping him.
"What do you need, in your mission to succeed?" Zecora asked.
"Remember when we made that potion thing to uh, try and find the books... and y'know... that flash? Well um, we've brought Assistant Steve here with us. You just need to explain to Assistant what to do, then we should be good to go," Sabre explained to Zecora. She understood and nodded.
"Assistant," Sabre said as he looks to Assistant Steve.
"Everything's now down to you," Sabre said as he walks back a few steps from the door entrance.
"Sabre, I will need fifteen of the bottles with Madness Steve's essence, and your Shadow Sword," Assistant Steve pointed out. Sabre then hands over 15 out of the 20 bottles as well as the Shadow Sword to Assistant Steve.
"Now, Sabre says you could help. We need to fuse the fifteen bottles of essence to each piece of armour and the three swords. You just need to explain to me what to do, as apparently it can cause a flash that will blind you all... you fragile low IQ flesh bags," Assistant Steve explained, then aiming the last statement at everyone (apart from Professor Red of course) as he looks at everyone before looking back to Zecora.
"Say sorry for calling me a moron, then I'll help you with the task you're on," Zecora responded to Assistant Steve.
"I am very very sorry, you mor-"
"Dude, seriously, you need to chill. We've just woke poor Zecora up and she is very tired. Please, just be nice for at least a second man!" Sabre interrupted, raising his voice with his last sentence.
"Okay, I'll be nice for one second, friend. One. It has now been one second, you moron," Assistant Steve responded to Sabre. Sabre looks to the floor and sighs before looking back up.
"Assistant Steve. Behave," Professor Red commanded as he walks to his creation. Assistant Steve nodded.
"Yeah. At least listen to the Professor- Speaking of which um, Professor Red, maybe you should go in and supervise Assistant incase... you know, before he goes on off one again," Sabre suggested.
"I quite agree, Sabre," Professor Red responded, nodding in agreement. With that, Assistant Steve, Professor Red and Zecora goes into the hut.
"Professor Red's robot is very rude," Rarity whispered to everyone.
"You know I can still hear you Rarity, right?" Assistant Steve responded loudly, so Rarity could hear. She just rolled her eyes.
"Maybe there's some fault in Assistant Steve that may be causing him to call us all m-"
"On the contrary Fluttershy, I'm speaking on my own conscience, you moron," Assistant Steve again responded loudly for all to hear.
"Maybe... uh... maybe we should just stop talking," Sabre suggested. Everyone furiously nodded in agreement.
(A few minutes later)
Professor Red and Zecora walks out of the hut, with Assistant Steve being ready to do his thing. Zecora has instructed Assistant Steve what to do. Professor Red had set up 6 hoppers, each connecting up to Zecora's cauldron. Half of them are for each set of armour as well as each sword.
The other half are for Madness Steve's essence, 5 bottles each, a perfect amount. There is a redstone torch keeping the hoppers from dispensing into the hopper, which are on blocks of red wool. A line of redstone is attached to each block of red wool, connecting to a single lever. The cauldron is filled with green bubbly liquid as well as the same elements she used to make that potion.
"Well Professor Red, you came prepared," Said Zecora.
"Well he is a Professor and is smart. Crazy, but smart," Sabre responded. Then white flashing beams came out of Zecora's windows, which lasted a few seconds. Slowly, the flash died down. Once it did, Assistant Steve came out of the hut.
"There, everything is done," Assistant Steve said as he drops 3 sets of armour, 2 swords and the Shadow Sword. Each piece of armour is completely black, with some grey and orange dots and dashes over, and a purple aura surrounding each piece. The same thing with the swords, including the Shadow Sword. Each having the same colour features as each armour as well as the aura. Sabre is the first one to pick up a set of the armour. Sabre also picks back up the Shadow Sword.
"Woah..." Sabre said in slow motion, looking at the Shadow Sword's different colour as well as the colour of the armour.
"We need two more volunteers," Said Assistant Steve.
"Me! After everything, I kinda want to give Madness Steve a good kick," Rainbow Dash instantly responded very quickly. She is very willing to fight Madness Steve, especially using his own power against him.
"I mean those that are the same shape as a steve. You, are not a steve, y-"
"Yeah yeah, I'm a moron. I've said it for you," Rainbow Dash interrupted, now feeling very down that she won't get to fight Madness Steve.
"Yes, that is indeed, correct. I thank you for saying it for me," Assistant Steve responded. Then out of nowhere, Discord teleports out of nowhere.
"Oh, I can help with that," Discord said as he snaps his eagle claws, turning Rainbow Dash into the same humanoid shape of a steve.
"Discord!? What did you do!?" Sabre exclaimed, switching his view from Rainbow Dash to Discord a few times.
"Well she wants to fight Madness Steve, so I made her in the same shape as a steve so she can-"
"Okay! I change my mind! Please change me back! I look so hideous!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, who is freaking out over her new form. Discord snaps his eagle claws again and changes Rainbow Dash back to her original form. The mane 6 and Starlight gave Discord a disapproving expression on their faces, especially Rainbow Dash.
"Everyone, please, stop being morons," Said Assistant Steve.
"Okay, everyone! Two others need to pick up the armour," Sabre said firmly, getting everyone focused back on task. Time Steve then picks up a set of armour and a sword. The last one to do so is Elemental Steve.
"Like the good ol' times- Well, just that we're now fighting Madness and not Void," Elemental Steve sighed.
"Yeah, um, well, while this is nostalgic, I wouldn't necessarily say it's the... good kind of nostalgic," Sabre responded.
"You three," Twilight said as she, the rest of the mane 6 and Starlight went over to them.
"We wish you three the best of luck," Said Starlight.
"Incase if we don't make it, please know this. I'm very glad to have met you all. You've helped me repair relations with my brother, and made me realize my mistakes. If it weren't for the help of you six, I would've never fixed my mistakes. I owe you six a bunch," Elemental Steve said to the mane 6, sounding emotional.
"We're also glad to have met you all too, Elemental Steve," Fluttershy responded.
"You three, stay safe n bring dat monsta down!" Applejack said with enthusiasm.
"Make him pay for what he's done!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
"Also Rarity, are we still going to your boutique thing after all this and look at different coats?" Time Steve asked the unicorn. Rarity giggles slightly back.
"Yes, of course Time Steve. We can even go around all of the shops in Manehattan to look at different coats-"
"Yep, okay, yep. I'm sold," Time Steve interrupted.
"Everyone we've got to go now. It's time we start looking for-"
"Oh damn it! How could I have been so CARELESS!? Ohhhhh... things will be interesting at the very least. I guess that's a plus," Said a recognizable voice, coming from further down the path. Red and orange eyes became visible, which blinked a few times. Then, a figure emerged from there. The figure have red eyes and orange pupils, pitch black hair, a pitch black body with several dots and dashes of different shades of grey all over, with orange feet.
"Woah woah woah woah! Everyone stay behind us three!" Sabre said as he, Time Steve and Elemental Steve moves forwards, while Professor Red, Assistant Steve, the mane 6, Starlight, Discord and Zecora moves back. Everyone looks at the figure. The mane 6 and Starlight gave the figure their filthiest looks at the figure, frowning with all the muscles in their faces.
