I like that we got a glimpse of Love Bunny's past and find out a little more about her plans.

I am fairly curious; could the next chapter be similar to make a man out of you montage with the characters singing a similar, twisted perverted version of said song? Merely a thought.

I enjoyed this little peek into Love Bunny's past showing that she's part of a well known Bloodline of Ourania nobility that wants to mold the world into a 'paradise for Ourania". You had me going thinking Cadance as Love Bunny, but it was someone else the whole time; I hope she appears in some way, shape or form. Seeing Starswirl show up was cool, but is it weird to say I envisioned him as a buff biker type with a couple tattoos? The little bit we had with Starswirl observing the fight and having that sparring session was a nice treat; I can't wait to see more of their training as well as seeing if Dash is the next one to be awakened.

She was supposed to be Cadance at first. But as I kept writing that changed. I wanted Cadance to be in the story as an ally to the Power Bimbos, so I found a different character to take her place.

I actually went back and forth a bit on Starswirl being a Superman type or a Dr. Strange type.

I gotcha. Well, I’m looking forward to really seeing what Love Bunny’s capable of in the future. Keep up the hotness

Love Bunny's mother being named Opal has me thinking her identity is Opaline from G5, and until you described it, I thought the surname Chrysanthemum was a hint towards Chrysalis.

A little disappointed that Fluttershy's first rage mode was over and done with so quickly, but okay I guess.

All in all, training chapter was a training chapter. Still looking forward to what comes next.

Also, for Starswirl's hero name, The name Merlin is derived from the Brythonic bard Myrddin.
