Chapter.8: Covetous Consultants and Ferocious Felines

It was time for ADA to introduce the Mane Six and Spike to their next adventure. "You will now move on to the second segment of this video; it takes place in the Bible and is about a prophet from the nation of Israel named Daniel, who lived approximately 2500 years ago. The story will be done with ample songs based on the biblical musicals of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Larry will play the role of Daniel, and Archibald will play the role of a king named Darius. It will also feature Lisa in a more minor role. However, you will not recognize them, but instead see them as completely different characters with alteration of your memories."

"Hold on," said Twilight Sparkle, "This won't affect our mental capacity, will it?"

"Rest assured, Twilight Sparkle, your memory will revert to its original state, and you will realize the roles being portrayed."

"Oh boy!" squealed Pinkie Pie, "it's like we are going to be time traveling!"

The scenery later faded into a bright night sky over the Euphrates River, and the Mane Six and Spike found themselves floating over the river. They then slowly and involuntarily began to zoom into a fertile desert's coastline. "Such wondrous natural scenery, "admired Rarity, "it's so beautiful that I could weep."

At this moment, they heard a female narrator's voice begin to speak, "Long, long ago, in a faraway land, there lived a young man named Daniel. When Daniel was a boy, he was taken from his home in Judah to live in a city called Babylon, where he went to school in the palace of the Babylonian king. Daniel missed his home very much. And every day, he prayed that God would take care of his family and his friends and look after him, too. God heard his prayers and helped Daniel become wise as he grew older until everyone in the palace knew of his wisdom. Then, one night, while Babylon was sleeping, the king had a dream."

"That is such a moving story," said Fluttershy, "I hope everything works out the best for Daniel."

The Mane Six then approached an elaborate open-air palace atop a hill overlooking the city. They floated down towards the palace and entered it. The palace's giant throneroom's ceiling was held by multiple pillars with green accents painted on the base, and substantial purple solid flags decked the perimeters of the throne room. The Mane Six and Spike landed on the checkered floor of the throneroom and noticed a trio of scallions. The tallest one (No.1) had a purple nose and eyelids with a gold collar, the skinniest one (No.2) had a light green nose and eyelids, and the shortest one (No.3) had a blue nose and eyelids. The scallions ran to a golden door on one of the corners of the throneroom that the Mane Six and Spike were standing near with two maidservants; one was an asparagus, and the other was a greenish-yellow pear.

The scallions and nursemaids then noticed the Mane Six and Spike and started bowing down to them, which confused them.

"By the grace of Marduk," declared Scallion No.1, "you gods of beyond the realms of Earth have come in your full glory for us to worship your very presence."

"Such deities of beautiful colors were never expected to be seen with the naked eye," said the pear maidservant.

"What do you gods demand from your loyal, humble followers?" asked Scallion No. 2

"How quaint," adored Rarity, "I never thought my beauty could have such a profound effect."

"Oh yeah, uh-huh," bragged Rainbow Dash, "I knew I was awesome. But I didn't think my ego was worthy enough to be worshipped."

"Woah, wait just a minute," Twilight Sparkle said, "let's not get carried away. Even though you five need to become more familiar with the lot of us or our types of species. We are certainly not gods; the most powerful beings we're familiar with are our immortal rulers, Princess Celestia and Luna. Even the seven of us do not worship them. We are six mortal ponies and a dragon. The only God we ever heard about goes by names such as Jehovah and Yahweh."

"Oh, so you follow that Hebrew God of Daniel," said Scallion No. 3, "such a boring and ridiculous system of beliefs. Our gods are much more exciting and logical."

"Hey now," reprimanded Applejack, "ya may disagree on how ta follow religion. But we need ta respect the ways one might practice their beliefs."

"Oh really," scoffed the asparagus maid, "that Daniel thinks his God is the only God and that worshipping other gods is a sin."

"What I meant ta say is..." said Applejack, "everyone has different moral codes on ways ta worship. We can allow others ta follow their own worship standards so we can do the same."

The asparagus maid rolled her eyes at that comment.

"By the way, what are you all doing here in the palace?" asked Spike.

"King Darius has summoned all of us late at night for an emergency meeting; he should be arriving momentarily," said Scallion No. 1.

(Stop Music at 1:48)

"Hooray Daniel!" cheered Pinkie Pie, "you've been promoted further into Babylonian royalty; we should throw a party."

"Oh, hello," said Daniel. "Who are you, and where did you come from, you wonderful creatures of God?"

"Yes," said Darius, "I don't recall any of these organisms in my kingdom."

The Mane Six introduced themselves, but Spike was suspiciously keeping quiet.

"It's so wonderful to make new friends on the same night you are appointed second-in-command," said Daniel.

"I agree, my most faithful subject," said Darius, "Daniel, come with me to officially promote you; then we will throw that party those ponies seem excited to throw."

"Yippee!" celebrated Pinkie Pie, "I'll get my confetti cannon stuffed."

"Oh, by the way, King Darius," said Rarity, "a magnificent king like yourself would look just dashing in a robe and cape; if you give me the proper fabrics, I could fix you one up."

"Thank you, madame, that would be lovely," said Darius.

"What about you, Daniel?" asked Rarity.

"Thanks, but no thanks, my humble headdress is good enough."

"Well, what are we waiting for!" declared Rainbow Dash, "let's get Daniel's celebration in full swing."

The Mane Six began to walk through the golden door. As Twilight looked back and realized Spike wasn't coming, she raised an eyebrow at Spike, who smiled reassuringly and gestured to go without him because Spike sensed something suspicious was happening in the palace. Twilight nodded and left, for Spike had something specific in mind.

The Scallion Trio looked worried and jealous over their rival's recent higher ranking. Scallion No. 1 even stared daggers into the maidservants to demand them to scram, and the maidservants walked away in a huff; he even did the same to Spike.

"No, you don't understand," said Spike, pretending, "I'm on your side."

"Ha!" scoffed Scallion No. 1, "I saw you with those pathetic ponies. They are now all swooning over Daniel. I can't believe I thought they were even gods."

"But they are," said Spike.

"I heard that lavender lass," said Scallion No. 1, "she said that she wasn't a god, and none of you were, so beat it!"

"They're just self-loathing gods," said Spike. "They think they are no different from mortal beings, so they like to act like they are themselves."

"But two of those ponies were enjoying our ignorant worship," said Scallion No. 2.

"Yeah, sometimes they get tempted to relapse to their old habits. But I'm not like them. I'm a proud dragon god that is entitled to be worshipped. Just look, feast your eyes on my magical fire breath." Spike then exhaled a breath of his green fire, making the Scallion Trio look in awe.

"You see," said Spike, "I'll be happy to dispose of Daniel so you can have the position you so desperately seek."

The Scallion Trio huddled and whispered among themselves and later addressed Spike.

"Alright, kid," said Scallion No. 1, "if you've taken this much effort to convince us that you're a god, then we believe you. Let's start discussing how this will all fall into place."

This was very good news for Daniel but very bad news for the wisemen. You see, each one of them wanted to be second-in-command. But now that Daniel got the job, the wisemen would have to do whatever he said. This made the wisemen very unhappy, and they immediately started thinking of ways to get rid of Daniel.

(Stop Music at 1:47)


That night, Twilight told the rest of Mane Six about Spike spying on the Scallion Trio by faking an alliance with them. While Twilight and Spike didn't exchange words, they could both sense that the Scallion Trio was up to no good. Twilight and Rarity went to the palace the following day while the rest of the Mane Six kept Daniel company at his house to protect him from any threat from the Scallion Trio. Twilight went to the palace to discuss with King Darius about her and his royal duties in their respective kingdoms. Rarity went to sew the robe and cape she promised Darius.

The very next morning, the wisemen appeared before King Darius to try and trap Daniel with their scheme.

The scallion trio and Spike came before the throne of Darius with Twilight Sparkle and Rarity on both his sides; the latter was just putting the finishing touches on the robe and cape.

"You wanted to see me?" asked Darius, and Scallion No. 1 cleared his throat in response.

(Pause at 1:20)

The king responded as the Scallion Trio explained the proposed law of throwing anyone into the lion's den by praying to anyone other than himself. "Oh! Yes? Well, I guess that would do it! All right then, good work, men! Ta-ta!"

"Are you out of your mind, King Darius!" exclaimed Twilight.

"Yes," said Rarity as she finished the robe and cape, "don't you know what that would mean for Daniel?"

"We'll get caught if you don't do something soon!" said Spike to Scallion No. 1.

"Shush, purple reptile!" demanded Scallion No.1, "everything is under control." Scallion No. 1 then started chanting in a language that Twilight, Rarity, and Spike couldn't understand. The chanting caused Twilight and Rarity to fall into a deep trance sleep; Darius was still awake but also entranced and was given orders by Scallion No. 1 to enact the law right away.

Darius later broke out of the trance. "Huh, what just happened? Oh, never mind. I see that Twilight and Rarity have some much-needed sleep to catch up and that my robe and cape have been finished; in the meantime, I've got a law to pass."

(Continue Music at 1:30 and stop at 1:44)

"How long will they be out?" asked Spike regarding Twilight and Rarity as he and the Scallion Trio left the palace.

"Just several hours, enough time to take care of Daniel once and for all," said Scallion No.1 as he laughed evilly.


Everyone in Babylon heard about the new law, including Daniel. But Daniel also knew God's law, and God's law told him that he should only pray to God.

In the small, simple home of Daniel, filled with a table and two shelves topped with urns and other clayworks. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie watched as Daniel was kneeling beside his bed, praying so quietly it was basically just incoherent mumbling.

"I may not hear what Daniel is saying," said Fluttershy, "but I must appreciate his devotion to his relationship with God."

"Daniel sure does have a strong commitment," said Applejack, "especially with that horrible law requiring prayer towards the king."

And so the next day, just like every other day, Daniel prayed and thanked God for the sunshine and for all his friends. He also thanked God for giving him the courage to do what was right, even when he knew it could get him in trouble.

"Did you just say trouble?" asked Daniel.

"Wait, you can hear narrations and break the fourth wall, too, Daniel?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"I heard the narration, but what's the fourth wall?" asked Daniel.

Applejack and Fluttershy just looked at Pinkie Pie in confusion.

"Oh, never mind," giggled Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow Dash looked out Daniel's window and noticed The Scallion Trio and Spike approaching. "We got company; I hope Spike's undercover work paid off. Come on, let's take these not-so-wise men down!"

The four ponies exited Daniel's home to confront the Scallion Trio face-to-face in the street. The ponies began to pretend to tell off Spike as part of his plan of going undercover. "How dare ya, Spike!" said Applejack in fake anger, "partnering with these slimy scallions, what did they ever do for ya?"

"Shut it, you pansy ponies," said Spike in the same insincere tone. "These scallions respect the god I am instead of you, who reduce yourselves to mortal beings."

"Alright, that's enough; you can drop the act now, dragon!" said Scallion No. 1.

"What!" said Spike, "I thought you believed me with my magical fire breath."

"Do you actually think we were stupid enough to fall for your lame lies?" asked Scallion No. 3.

"We only pretended to be fooled for you to fall into our trap," said Scallion No. 2.

"And because that has fallen into fruition, we got you all right under our thumbs!" declared Scallion 1.

"Oh no, you don't!" retorted Spike, who flew up and attempted to shoot a fireball. But before that could happen, Spike had heard the Scallion Trio chant in the Ancient Babylonian language. It conjured up metal chains that restrained his hands and feet and even a metal muzzle that prevented him from speaking or breathing fire.

"Our sorcery granted to us by the power of Marduk is stronger than that measly fire breath of yours, dumb dragon!" taunted Scallion No. 1.

The ponies were unbelievably shocked, and of course, Rainbow Dash didn't hesitate to hit the scallions, "NOBODY CHAINS MY FRIEND, AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" she yelled, flying towards them.

But before she could strike them, the Scallion Trio conjured another set of chains that restrained her four hooves and wings. Then suddenly, three more sets of conjured chains covered up the three other ponies present. Rendering them all completely helpless.

"Alright, get these ponies and their little dragon into the wagon," Scallion No. 1 demanded towards his two fellow wisemen, "then we can take of Daniel."

The Scallion Trio busted Daniel's door open after the four ponies and Spike were loaded into the little wagon.

"A-HA!" taunted Scallion No. 1 as Scallion No. 2 and 3 looked on as the door knocked over one of Daniel's shelves. But the door automatically slammed in front of the Scallion Trio. It knocked out Scallion No. 3. But the door opened a second later, and Scallion No. 1 taunted Daniel in the same matter a second time. Daniel was scared into silence as the Scallion Trio crept upon him; even though Daniel was immune to the wise men's dark magic, he was still outnumbered 3 to 1. For the ponies, it was vice-versa, the difference between physical and spiritual weaknesses.


Later that evening, Scallion No. 1 and No.2 carried Daniel up at the front, traveling across a mountainous desert wasteland outside Babylon. Scallion No. 3 struggled to carry Daniel up at the rear and pulled the wagon carrying the ponies and Spike in chains. For the wagon, it was big enough to hold the Equestrians. Since Daniel was frozen with fear, he started to ramble randomly. "So you guys are wisemen? Well, that's pretty cool. I mean, have you always been wise, or did you have to go to school for that? Were you serious about that cheese ball thing? Hey, I can see my house from here."

"Geez," said Rainbow Dash in a snarky matter, "how could he make such casual comments while we are all being held hostage, being taken to who knows where? For a prophet, I'd imagine he'd be smarter than that."

"Shush, Rainbow Dash," scolded Applejack, "that is not helping right now."

"Especially considering that we are about to become dinner to a pride of lions!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, worried.

The Scallions then stopped in front of the vertical entrance of the lions' den. A roar could be heard from the den next to the sign with a white lion silhouette symbol. The Scallions then dropped Daniel on top of the wagon, which he would've rolled away on top had it started to move. They then pushed the wagon closer to the entrance.

"Daniel," Scallion No. 1 began to speak, "because you violated section 4219-2r9-4000-6.1-7.b of the code of Babylon, forbidding prayer to anyone but King Darius. And you ponies and dragon who violated section 3128-1s8-3000-7.2-6.a of the code of Babylon for harboring those specific types of lawbreakers, you are hereby sentenced to be consumed by the lions, goodbye."

"Don't I get a phone..." Daniel said but was cut off as the Scallion trio pushed the wagon upwards, causing Daniel, Spike, and the ponies to fall into the lion's den, causing Daniel to scream out the last word of his sentence, "Caaaaallllllllll!!! Oof."

The six of them fell onto the ground of the dark den, whose only light source was the entrance up above. Daniel stood up as his eyes were dazed and crossed and shook his head to get his vision straight.

"Hey Daniel and company," taunted Scallion No. 2, "you're sure gonna have fun down there. We're not 'lion'."

Scallion No. 2 and 3 laughed at the joke as Daniel looked up worried. Rainbow Dash scooted into the light and glared furiously at them.

"Uh yeah!" taunted Scallion No. 3, "You better be "lion" down... Um... 'cuz those lions are gonna...um...' lie'...' on' you! Ha ha!"

"What?" cringed Scallion No.2. "Mine was funny. Yours was...goofy. Lions are gonna ly-on you?! They're gonna eat them! They're not gonna ly-on them."

"Well, well, maybe they're gonna lie on them, then eat them," explained Scallion No. 3. "Or one will lie on the ponies as a bed while another one, maybe, eats Daniel for the main course. Or, well, maybe one will sit on him with the dragon as an appetizer..."

"What? Like the lions are gonna cooperate?" asked Scallion No. 2. "Like one's gonna lie on Daniel and say, 'Hey, you eat him, I'll lie on him. We'll prepare the ponies for dessert, and they'll fix the dragon as a garnish?' Come on, we're the ones that are ly-in, not the lions."

"Come on now, quit stalling," demanded Scallion No. 1, "let's discuss how we'll deal with those two remaining ponies with the horns. They will prove to be quite a challenge."

"I'LL TURN YOU CROOKS INTO CHOPPED ONION!" screamed Rainbow Dash as the Scallion Trio moved a boulder in front of the entrance.

Without any outside noise coming into the den, they heard water dripping from stalactites right before Daniel spoke up, "Well, it's not so scary down here, a little musty, not so scary."

"How could you downplay the very danger we are in?" asked Rainbow Dash.

But then, several pairs of glowing yellow eyes glared at the group, causing Daniel to back up and notice they were all surrounded by lions in the dark.

"Just avoid any sudden movements," whispered Applejack.

"Hey Fluttershy," said Pinkie Pie, "why don't you try the stare on these lions."

"I c-can only d-do it if e-every lion is in f-front of m-me," Fluttershy quivered. "W-we are all s-surrounded."

"Come on, Fluttershy," encouraged Rainbow Dash, "if you could tame a manticore, how hard would regular lions be."

"What's a manticore?" asked Daniel.

"It's a hybrid lion with dragon wings and a scorpion tail," explained Pinkie Pie.

"T-that was o-only one manticore," explained Fluttershy, "t-there is at l-east half a d-dozen lions down here, and I don't k-know what could be the m-matter with them."

"I think they were starved down here, so they would have the instinct to eat whatever is in their nearby sight," said Applejack, "and I think we're next."

"Oh no," Daniel sang wistfully while on the verge of tears, "what am I gonna do? It looks like I'm gonna... end up as lion stew."

But then, a bright light shined from the night sky upon Daniel, Spike, and the ponies through a hole in the rocky ceiling of the den.

(Play music at 0:22 and stop at 1:05)

"Wow," wept Fluttershy in joy, "that is one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard with my own two ears."

After the song was done, the angel singing the song hovered down into the cave. The angel was a parsnip with long blonde hair and eyelashes, wearing a white robe and a halo over her head. She was carrying twelve pizza boxes, "In the name of God," the angel declared, "let these chains be cast off." The ponies and Spike were freed from the burden of the chains restraining them.

"Oh, thank goodness," Spike said, "I can speak again; next time, I'll skip straight to roasting those wise men."

"In the name of God," the angel declared, "may these lions be meeken."

The lions changed their glares into a more gentle expression and even looked among themselves in confusion.

"In the name of God," the angel declared, "may you all enjoy this pizza from heaven."

She first threw six boxes to the lions, each with a meat lover's pizza for them to chow down on.

"Wonderful!" said Pinkie Pie, "it looks like that pizza will be on the menu tonight instead of us."

Then, the angel threw four pizza boxes in front of the ponies, each pizza with hay and oats.

"Boy, am I famished," said Applejack.

"Yeah, I didn't expect pizza on this adventure," said Rainbow Dash.

"I didn't think pizza existed this long ago," said Pinkie Pie.

The angel then threw a pizza with gems as toppings towards Spike.

"Delicious," said Spike, "there isn't a single food item that tastes better with the flavor of gems."

"Wait, how do you eat those?" asked Daniel, "I didn't think gems were edible."

"Only to dragons," said Spike, "it must be how our digestive systems are designed."

Then the angel threw the last pizza, topped with mutton, before Daniel. "Finally! said Daniel, some tasty food that is also kosher."

"What's kosher?" asked Spike.

"It is any food Hebrews are allowed to eat. When I first came to Babylon, they offered me and my friends pork and wine to eat and drink. But we refused since the food and beverage were sacrificed to false gods, plus eating pork violates the kosher code. So we decided to eat only vegetables and drink water. I got so sick of it that I'm finally glad to eat something delectable."

"Alright, Daniel, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy." said the angel. "Remember that God will keep you safe and that the lions don't have the desire to harm you." The lions embraced the group and moaned happily, with Fluttershy petting them.

Even though he still didn't know what to expect, Daniel felt better when he remembered that God was taking care of him, even in the Lion's Den.


Elsewhere in the Kingdom, the wisemen were busy congratulating themselves for being so clever. While the King, believing that he lost a good friend, decided the only thing that he can do is to pray that Daniel's God would protect him.

Twilight Sparkle and Rarity had just awakened from their trance and saw Darius weeping.

"What just happened, Twilight?" asked Rarity. "Why did we fall asleep? What is the matter with King Darius?"

"The last thing I remember was the wise men glaring at us bizarrely. They probably put us to sleep in a spell and might have affected King Darius somehow."

"What have I done," Darius said, "I let my wicked, wise men deceive me into passing that dreadful law. I let my ego get in the way of Daniel's safety. I did not know the law would get Daniel into the lion's den. I thought maybe the law was directed at some seditious traitors to Babylon. The wise men also threw your friends in there, and I had no idea they would be convicted just by defending Daniel."

"How horrible!" Rarity sobbed, "The rest of the Mane Six and Spikey-Wikey, down in that den with those hungry lions."

"Yes, it's been an hour since then; I don't know if they'll survive. I just remembered this moment about you two trying to convince me away from my selfish incompetence before I blacked out."

"It appears that your wise men are taking advantage of you so that you can promote them with Daniel out of the way," said Twilight Sparkle, holding back tears.

"Oh, Twilight and Rarity!" Darius sobbed loudly, "Let us comfort one another during this grievous time. I am also renouncing the false gods of Babylonian culture and will pray to the Hebrew god, starting now."

King Darius sat on his throne as Twilight Sparkle and Rarity lay a hoof on him. He began to pray as all three of them bowed their heads.


The next morning, everyone ran down to the Lion's Den to see what was left of Daniel.

Twilight Sparkle and Rarity ran up to the den entrance, where King Darius and the Scallion Trio stood nearby.

"You conniving consultants!" yelled Rarity, "if any of our friends are harmed, you are all dead to me!"

The Scallion Trio smirked as No. 3 stook his tongue out at her.

"Easy, Rarity," said Twilight, "while we will deal with them justly. Let's see if our friends are safe."

"It's hopeless," Darius said gloomily, "no one can survive a night with those lions."

"Hello!" yelled Daniel from below.

"Did you hear something?" asked Darius as smiles of relief formed on Twilight and Rarity's faces.

"Hello!" yelled Daniel again.

"Did anyone order a wake-up call?" joked Pinkie Pie.

"Daniel, Pinkie Pie, is that you?" asked Darius as he peeked into the den.

"Oh yeah, we'll be right up. We just have to say goodbye to our new friends," said Daniel.

"Oh, thank God, you're all okay," said Rarity.

"I just hoped that God would answer our prayers," said Twilight.

"It's...it's impossible," said King Darius.

"Yes, it is," responded Scallion No. 1.


Fluttershy gave all six lions in the den a belly rub, "Now I want you to be on your best behavior," she said softly, "be a bunch of good lions." The lions then all began to lick her with affection as she giggled.

"I can't thank ya enough, ma'am, for saving all of us and providing us with some of the most tasteful meals I've ever indulged," Applejack said to the angel.

"Anyone who allies themself with a man of God deserves to be provided with heavenly aid," said the angel. "It's time that I leave and return to heaven." She began to hover up to heaven.

"Alright, Daniel," said Rainbow Dash, "those scandalous scallions are outside the den. My friends and I have a plan to pummel them."

"Just get behind me first," said Daniel. "Unlike the five of you, they can't penetrate me with their demonic divination."

Daniel then poked his head out of the den's hole. "Well, hello, everybody," Daniel greeted. He turned his head around and said to the lions and the angel "See you guys later; thanks for the pizza."

"They had pizza?" asked Scallion No. 1, confused.

"Now Spike!" told Daniel.

Spike flew out of the hole behind Daniel and started shooting fireballs near the Scallion Trio, causing them to run around to avoid being scorched.

While they were distracted, Rainbow Dash flew out of the hole and pounded the Scallion Trio, knocking them to the ground.

"It's pie time!" yelled Pinkie Pie as she appeared out of the hole and threw a pie towards each scallion on the center of their torsos.

"Alright, ants," directed Fluttershy, who flew out of the hole as an army of ants crawled out simultaneously and crawled all over the scallions, attracted to the giant pie stains. The scallions started flailing on the ground since they were itchy and irritated to the high heavens.

Applejack finally leaped out of the hole and lassoed the Scallion Trio. Together, they were stunned and exhausted.

"Save some of the humiliation for me," said Rarity as she went ahead to conjure up bows and make-up that she used to decorate the Scallion Trio's faces.

"That'll teach those unscrupulous green onions to mess with any of you anymore," said Twilight Sparkle.

"It's a miracle!" declared King Darius.

"I've got it, a new law!" declared King Darius, "from this day forth, everyone will pray only to Daniel's God," Daniel smirked at the wise men while learning this satisfying news as the Mane Six and Spike all patted him on the back.

"No more of this silly praying to me business. I'm glad Twilight Sparkle and Rarity showed me the error of my ways concerning that matter. But whose idea was that anyway?" King Darius then turned his head and glared at the Scallion Trio. "Oh yes, I remember."

Unfortunately, the Scallion Trio got their senses together and untied themselves from the lasso, "I hear they're looking for wise men down in Egypt." Scallion No. 1 told his comrades.

"Been fun. Got to go now," said Scallion No. 1.

"Yeah, see ya," responded Scallion No. 2 as they all ran away.

"Where do you think you're going?" ordered King Darius, who began to chase them. "Come back here, you scoundrels! You scallywags! Not so fast! Stop! I'm the King; you must stop now! Come back here! Stop it!"

"Hey guys, come back!" Daniel pleaded as he also began to chase after them. "There's some pizza left!"

"Not today!" shouted Rainbow Dash, "you scallions aren't getting away a second time!" She attempted to fly after them but found herself with the rest of the Mane Six and Spike floating away from the desert involuntarily. "Hey, what gives?"

"The second story segment ends here," ADA said, "you will now wrap up with Bob and Larry at the countertop."
