The next few minutes were a blur to Ditzy. All she could get where snippets like "Who are you?" "Where are we?" and "OMG a talking cat!" until the dark colored Alicorn shouted, "Silence!"
"Thank you, dear sister," the light colored Alicorn spoke. Ditzy then realized that the alicorn was none other than Princess Celestia herself. "I know this is all confusing to everypony, but we must stop this new threat."
"Then you're going to need my help," Hyperguy commented as he got out of his chair.
"And just who would you be, strange creature?" asked the second alicorn, whom Ditzy assumed to be Princess Luna.
Hyperguy smiled. "I believe you will find me more recognizable in this form." He then morphed into a white lanky earth pony with a cutie mark of crossed hammers with a diamond in the center.
"Hyperguy?" The six young ponies' eyes widened.
"Yes, it is I: Hyperguy, Duke of Notrelluf; Keeper of Windu the Diamond Mace."
"So this is what Hammerspace looks like?" The violet unicorn asked.
"It usually doesn't look like this, Twilight," Hyperguy answered looking at the still distorted dining room. "This is mostly due to the inversion seal."
"I must say," the Doctor said as he examined the door with the Sonic Screwdriver, "I've never seen anything like it. It's almost as if everything beyond it doesn't exist."
"Then how are we suppose to get out?" asked Ditzy.
"Don't worry, I have a solution," Hyperguy said as he walked over to wall. He then looked down. "I just realized: I don't have hands." He then morphed back into his previous form. "There we go."
He then reached in his pocket and pulled out a red metallic object. "Now this here is what one would call a multi-tool, but it's more than that. You see, multi-tools only have ten to twelve tools, but this has every tool. It's not a multi-tool; it's an Omni-tool."
Hyperguy pulled one of the tabs to reveal a flat-head screwdriver. He then put it against the wall, and pried off what revealed to a removable panel. "Ah, there we go. I have an emergency compartment in every room. It's fortunate that Sherlac didn't cut it off with the seal. Now it's in here somewhere." He then pulled out a small wooden club and proceeded to the nearest door.
"Hyperguy, are you sure a club is going to work?" Twilight asked.
"Of course," the duke answered. "I didn't expect you to know about seal clubbing."
The Doctor commented, "Um, Hyperguy, that's not what…"
The equine time lord's words where ignored as Hyperguy swung the club at the door. In a flash, the room regained its original color.
"Sir, are you alright?" asked Maxwell as he entered the room.
"Everything's fine," Hyperguy answered. "But I'm afraid it won't stay that way for long. Inform all senior staff members to meet in the crisis room."
"Very well, sir," Maxwell responded and left the room.
Hyperguy then faced the crowd behind him. "Come, all of you. We must head to the crisis room to discuss how we are to defeat Sherlac."
"Um, Hyperguy," Ditzy got the courage to say, "What's the crisis room?"
"Well, a panic room is for when you have a panic, a war room is for when you have a war, so naturally a crisis room is for when you have a crisis, like when an inverted duplicate obtains the powers of chaos. Now, if you don't mind, I would like us to start moving along."
The eccentric duke lead everypony out of the room, but then paused in his tracks and turned around.
"Kilroy, the lasagna can wait. There is work to be done."
"But I'm a growing cat," remarked the voice behind the door.
"Very well, then," Hyperguy sighed. He then pulled out a top hat and reached in with his hand and pulled out the golden feline.
"I hate it when you do that," Kilroy said annoyed grasping a small strand of noodle.
Hyerpguy then continued to lead the group down the hallway. Eventually, he stopped and began to pull on one of the lamps, which was really a disguised lever opening up a secret door in the wall. He then lead them though the door and onto a large elevator, which then proceeded to go down for a short while until it stopped at two large doors upon which was written "Crisis Room." Hyperguy walked up to a keypad and pressed a series of buttons. The heavy doors opened to a metallic room adorned with various screens. In the center was placed a large round table with a projection device in the middle. There, sat Maxwell as well as other staff members. Hyperguy walked over and sat in a chair next to Maxwell as Kilroy started to lie in his lap.
"Please, find room where you can," Hyperguy said to the ponies. "This is a matter that concerns all of us."
Each one of the ponies walked up and found a place between the chairs.
"I believe that we should all introduce ourselves. I shall start: I am Hyperguy, Duke of Notrelluf."
"I am Pricesss Celestia of Equestria."
"I am Maxwell Silver, Head Butler."
"I'm not sure what I'm supposed to day," the purple unicorn said.
"It's very simple," Hyperguy replied. "Just say your name and your title. For your case, your title is the element you bear."
"Okay, I think I understand. I am Twilight Sparkle, Bearer of the Element of Magic."
"I'm Applejack, Bearer of the Element of Honesty."
"I am Kimiko Minami, Head Maid," spoke a girl in a maid's uniform. Her hair was dirty blonde, and her amber eyes glistened as it hid a troubled past.
"I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony in Equestira, and Bearer of the Element of Loyalty."
"Pass."
"Oh, come on, Fluttershy."
"Okay, here it goes. I'm Fluttershy, Bearer of the Element of Kindness."
"I am Jonathan Hazard, Head Chauffer," said a redheaded man donning a brown suit and hat with sunglasses strewn across his eyes.
"I am Rarity, Bearer of the Element of Generosity."
"Hi there, I'm Pinkie Pie, and my element's laughter."
"I am Jason Hazard, Head Mechanic," said a man who was clearly the previous man's twin. The only difference in his appearance was that he donned a vest instead of a jacket.
"I'm the Doctor."
"And I'm Ditzy Doo, the Doctor's assistant."
"WE ARE PRINCESS LUNA OF EQUESTRIA. WE ARE HONORED TO BE IN THY PRESENCE."
"Okay, now that that's out of the way," Hyperguy said, "We can finally discuss the issue at hand. I take it that everyone in this room has encountered Sherlac." The projection device in the center of the table displayed an image of Sherlac. "One would say that he is my evil twin, but I feel that term is not completely accurate. He's more of an inverted self, for unlike over evil twins that clones or from an alternate universe, Sherlac is composed of the darkness that was once within me. Normally, Sherlac is easy for me to deal with, but now he has obtained the power of Discord." The projector now displayed and image of Discord. "Now that he has this power he can shape the fabric of reality to whatever he desires, and one of those desires is to destroy all who oppose him. What we must do is remove the power of chaos from Sherlac and place it back in the hands of Discord."
"Huh, why give Discord back his power?" Rainbow Dash asked in confusion.
"Even though Discord is a being of chaos, he would not kill or outright destroy, for those things are too simple and would bring him no enjoyment. However, Sherlac has no restraint. He would wipe out all of existence simply because he stubbed his toe. In this situation, Discord is the lesser of two evils. Now, I would like to hear from Princess Celestia about what Shelac said to you before he sent you here."
