Princess Celestia told Hyperguy about what had happened in Equestia earlier that day. Chaos began to spread at about 10:30 that morning. At first, ponies began to blame Discord, but to their confusion, the spirit of chaos and disharmony was still in stone. Celestia was furious and demanded to see who was responsible. At that moment Sherlac appeared. Of course, she had heard of the inverted entity from a letter Hyperguy sent to her a few months ago. In fact, Sherlac was slightly impressed that he was known in Equestria, for he had done very little to establish an image there. He explained that he had absorbed Discord's power, though he never went into any detail as to how, the reason most likely being that he didn't want to reveal any information that could stop him. This reason was also supported by how he never said where he hid the Elements of Harmony, not even in riddle form. He then cackled madly and then sent them to Hyperguy's dining room.

"I expected Sherlac to be savvy enough to not reveal anything vital," Hyperguy said as the princess finished. "The Elements of Harmony are essential to defeating him. But finding them is going to be difficult. Sherlac has most likely placed them where I can't simply pull from. Retrieving them would require something more powerful than all of us put together."

"And just what is that something?" Ditzy asked nervously.

Hyperguy stared into the distance and said, "A plot hole."

The staff members gasped while everyone else looked on in utter confusion.

"Sir, you can't possibly be serious," Maxwell said. "Plot hole generation is far too unpredictable to be a practical solution. We're more likely to destroy ourselves."

"Wait, I thought a plot hole was just bad writing," Twilight said.

"Most people tend to view plot holes as something that only happens in fiction," Hyperguy explained, "but the truth is they are as real as you and me. For many years, scientists have dedicated their time and other people's money to solving the mysteries surrounding them. One research team was to generate an artificial one, but then the laboratory and everyone in it turned into a pot of left-over beef stew. But when the effort to generate artificial plot holes was almost abandoned, the research was picked up by a criminal organization known as the Game Over, led by a kistune using the pen name of supercomputer276. His mad scientists were the first to build a workable plot hole generation device. But sadly, the device was destroyed when a comet hit their mountain headquarters. Or so it would seem, for I was able to retrieve the device and modify it to fit my own purposes."

"So just where is this device then?" asked the Doctor.

"It's in the armory, with the rest of the weapons. I forgot to tell you. The device is a rocket launcher."

"Wait, did you say rocket launcher?" The equine time lord asked.

"Well, it's not actually a rocket launcher because it doesn't launch rockets. It launches plot holes. That is why it is called the Plot Hole Launcher. But let's get back to the situation at hand. We must use the Plot Hole Launcher to retrieve the Elements of Harmony. With them we shall be able to weaken him enough to be able to remove Discord's power."

"And just how are we going to do that?" Rainbow Dash barked.

"One of us has to get into Sherlac's head. I believe the key to stopping him will reveal itself then. It is clear who it shall be."

"Wayoo!" Rainbow Dash said leaping into the air starting to shadowbox. "I'm ready to teach that Sherlac a lesson."

"Oh, that's cute," Hyperguy said. "You're assuming I meant you."

"And why not?" The Pegasus said pouting.

"Sherlac would see you as too much of a threat. The one that must go into his mind is the one he fears the least." He then turned his head to the young grey pegasus.

"Me?" Ditzy asked, her eyes starting to divert.

"Yes Ditzy, you. Sherlac will not see you as a threat. That is why you must be the one to get into his head. Don't worry; it will be some time before you are required to. We still need to retrieve the elements. Now, on to the armory." Hyperguy and the staff members got out to their chairs and walk towards one end to the room with the ponies following. Hyperguy stopped at a metallic door and pushed buttons on the keypad next to it. The door opened, and everyone stepped into one of the largest room they had seen so far. It was almost as the room was bigger than the mansion itself. It was strewn about with rows of cabinets and drawers.

"Welcome to the armory," Hyperguy announced. "Though I must admit it's more of an inventory than an armory. Anyway, the Plot Hole Launcher is not too far from here. The P section is right over there." He stepped onto a square platform which lifted him up one of the drawers. "I must say, I would have expected Sherlac to prevent us from getting in here. After all, it's not like he could easily…"

Hyperguy paused as he looked into the drawer he just opened.

"Hmm, apparently he could easily steal an item from here."

Everyone gasped.

"He has also stolen the backups. I must say, this is an interesting development."

"Indeed it has," the Doctor commented.

"How can you two be so nonchalant about this?" Ditzy said frustrated.

"Well for starters, Sherlac has never been this clever. Discord's power must have boosted his intelligence somehow. Second, knowing Sherlac, he's probably going to appear and gloat for an hour."

"Just an hour?" Sherlac remarked perched on a nearby shelf.

"One thing still puzzles me," the Doctor said. "If he has so much power, why is he simply just thwarting our plans instead of destroying us outright?"

"Actually," Sherlac answered, "I've been asking that question ever since I got the power. I was never able to destroy, or even create for that matter. I thought that Discord never simply killing his enemies was the result of him being weak, but I realized the reason was a bit more profound. Chaos doesn't really exist, much in the way coldness doesn't exist. Cold is really just a lack of heat, and chaos is just a lack of order. Order is consistency, guaranteeing that similar action produce similar outcomes. Without order, effortlessly killing you is impossible, for it would take me several tries to kill just one of you."

"So what is you plan then?" the Doctor asked.

Sherlac chuckled, "Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just do things."

"You do realize the majority of those you are talking to aren't going to get the quotation, right?" Hyperguy said as the platform lowered.

"It wasn't for them," Sherlac barked. "Now then, there is no way for you to stop me, Hyperguy. I win." He began to cackle gleefully.

"No," Ditzy shouted, "I will not let you conquer Equestia."

"Wait, what?" Sherlac said befuddled. "You seriously thought I was going to take over your home world? The only reason I absorbed Discord's power was so I could finally defeat Hyperguy, and I have. Wait…why do I feel so empty? I just achieved a life goal. But that was my only life goal. I have no other desires."

Fear came to his face. "Oh my god, I'm a comic book villain. My only purpose is to make plans that fail on a monthly basis. The revelation is driving me insane!"

And in the flash of light, Sherlac was gone.

"Well done, Ditzy," Hyperguy said.

"Um, what did I do?" Ditzy asked, her eyes diverting in confusion.

"You got into his head."
