Set very shortly "A Canterlot Concert" AND the "Siege on the Crystal Empire" comic book story, but JUST before the "Cutie Re-Mark". Now a fugitive following her role in trying to take over the Crystal Empire, Lightning Dust ends up running afoul Gilda. Having found out about the events of the Crystal Empire take over from Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, Gilda is all too happy to give Lightning Dust both a good beatdown AND an equally good tirade.
