Future Spike began to write down more in his book.

Raiden wanted to start the training right away, but when he heard from Pinkie Pie that Rainbow Dash's birthday was going to be tomorrow, he decided to hold off until after the Equestria Games. However, things weren't all fun and games the next day. Especially after the stallion known as Cheese Sandwich showed up.





Cheese Sandwich had begun taking over making Rainbow Dash's birthday from Pinkie Pie, and didn't seem to want Pinkie Pie's help at all. And in the midst of all this, that's when Serendipity showed up.

"Hey buster, just what do you honestly think your doing?" Serendipity asked.

"What?" Cheese Sandwich was confused at this.

"Because of you taking complete control over this birthday party from my friend and not even wanting her help at all, she's totally in funk. And that gives me plenty of excuses to start messing with you." Serendipity said.

"You don't understand I--"

"Here, have a present." Serendipity said, quickly handing over a present to Cheese Sandwhich, but when he oppened it up, there was a bomb inside that quickly blew up in his face. "Gets every 'mon all the time~" Serendipity said.

"Look, you don't understand--"

"Shake?" Serendipity asked, giving over a ribbon. And just like with Discord, it turned out to be the fake ribbon trick, which freaked Cheese Sandwhich the heck out. "Ha! Serves you right for messing with Pinkie Pie. She's my equal. And I really hate seeing her down in the dumps. So, are you going to start including her in this? Or am I going to have to bust our more of my surprises?" Serendipity asked.

"I don't want to ask her, in order to thank her!" Cheese Sandwich suddenly said.

"...What?" Now Serendipity was the one confused, which led to the Stallion singing.



Little did either know, Pinkie Pie heard the whole thing, and then she suddenly tackled Cheese Sandwich to the ground.

"That is the most craziest yet awesomist thing any pony has ever done for me. C'mere." Pinkie Pie said before she dragged Cheese Sandwich off.

"...And here I thought I was the only one who would get Pinkie Pie. Guess I was wrong. Heh, those two are going to be super mega crazy together, and I can't wait to attend a party where those two collab with each other. A party like that will be off the charts for sure!" Serendipity said.





Meanwhile...

Lord Tirek was currently absorbing more Pony Magic, but it seemed Marina was doing her own thing at some city nearby. "Not sure what that Mawile's up to, but I shouldn't have to worry too much about her." Lord Tirek said. The Mawile soon came back. "So, exactly what are you up to?" Lord Tirek asked.

"Just a little back-up plan just in case things go south. I wouldn't run it past those ponies to find SOME way of defeating you without their magic. Their pretty resilient after all." Marina said. "I didn't become one of the most feared mob bosses in Lightning Town just because of my strength and tactics. I also have brain. If I'm going to rule this country with an iron fist with you as my enforcer, better to start recruiting a few children to eventually join my mafia while we're traveling. Children can be so easily manipulated and controlled." She explained.

Lord Tirek couldn't help but stare at the Mawile as she started walking away. "Don't get any funny ideas about anything." Marina said.

"I wasn't. I'm just shocked you would call children easily manipulated." Lord Tirek said.

"Why do you think I had such a firm grip on Lightning Town? Most of those below the Elite Four were former orphans that I was able to get wrapped around my paws." Marina said. "And I can just as easily do it with non-oprhans. Which is going to have to be the case since that Raiden started up an chain of orphanages across the globe." She added.

"Your scary." Lord Tirek said.

"I'm glad you admit it. Because that's part of how I was able to have such an iron grip on Lightning Town." Marina said. "Everyone knew not to cross me. So, when I see that Luxray known as Lightning, I'm going to do to him what I did to Raiden's parents."

Lord Tirek was realizing just how much he didn't want to cross this Mawile. If he even tried, she would leave his dead body to rot after she mauled him to death. Just like all her other victims. It was clear what kind of creature she really was: A ruthless monster.
