Spike walks into the Castles ‘TV room’, then slumps down on a large purple couch. He turns on the TV as a commercial begins. He mumbles, "These commercials are always stupid, either being illegal in some way, or making no sense at all!"

A loud voice yells from the TV "YOU HUNGRY!? Then come on down to Tex's Taco Factory, the best-and only- taco place in town!" Spike turns to the TV which is showing a yellow pony with a red and yellow striped mane with a taco cutie mark. The screen changes to huge yellow letters that spell out "TEX'S TACO FACTORY!" over a taco with many condiments on it.

The screen changes to a room with a glass window taking up most of the back wall. Tex walks in and says, "I'm Taco Tex, and this is my Taco Factory! Here we only use the most natural ingredients in our Tacos!"

A pony in a taco costume walks by dragging a vat of some liquid. The pony asks, "Hey boss! Where do I put this vat of artificial flavoring!?"

Tex freezes up as the pony talks, then yells, "YOU IDIOT, I'M FILMING A COMMERCIAL!!"

The pony, flinching at his bosses anger. "Boss, all I wanna know if I put it next to the plastic taco shells or the-"

"CUT!!!" Tex yells as the camera flashes to another scene.

Tex looks at the camera with a slightly forced smile. "We have many condiments that can change the flavor of your taco!" He walks past several signs, reading what they say as he goes by, "Sweet Apple, Rainboom Shock, Zebra Brew, Magic Light, Party Vibe, Discord Combo, and Iron Halapenos-"

Tex is cut off by a huge explosion coming from one of the signs. "WHY DID THE IRON HALAPENOS SIGN EXPLODE!?" he yells in anger.

A voice responds in an extremely afraid tone, "I don't know, it just did!"

Still angry, Tex yells, "ARGHHHH! WHY ARE YOU FILMING-" The screen flashes to another scene before Tex can rant onscreen.

Tex reappears with slightly disheveled hair, his smile looking faker then ever. He stands in front of an image of the Taco Factory logo. "So come on down to Tex's Taco Factory, and eat our SUPER healthy and totally NOT illegal tac-" A door is knocked down next to Tex, the pony flinching from the sound. "What now?" Tex mumbles, clearly annoyed.

A mare with a blue mane and grey fur in a prison jumpsuit bursts in, holding a crossbow complete with scope and plenty of spare bolts affixed to it.

Tex begins to fidget nervously. "W-who are you a-and what a-are you d-doing here!?"

The mare frowns. "My name is Single Army, and I am here to reveal your dark secrets!" She glares at Tex. "You've been using highly illegal slave labor to make your tacos.!"

Tex begins to stammer, "Pa-preposterous! Although m-my ta-tacos aren't the healthiest, I-I don't use slave labor!"

Single Army growls, clearly angered. "Yes, you do! And you're planning to take over Equestria with an army of mutant tacos and taco zombies! And I TOOK PICTURES!" She whips out a set of photos and shows the camera.

First, a picture of several ponies in prison jumpsuits similar to Single Army's, being forced to squirt condiments into plastic taco shells. Then, a picture of odd Diamond Dog like creatures made of taco shells and salsa, and a huge dragon shaped one surrounding the prisoners. Then, those same prisoners with a brain dead look in their eyes, eating odd looking tacos.

Tex’s tone turns extremely frightened, "N-now, that may be I-incriminating evidence, but it's not like I'm an evil interdimentional monster!"

Single Army stared at him for a second before saying "That's exactly what you are."

Tex, with false calmness, laughs for a few seconds. “Ha! Hahaha! How are you so sure of that, huh?"

Single Army grins. "I'm sure, because I've never seen you eat....or blink."

Tex stares at her for a second, before frowning. "Oh.....” He begins to shake as if going to explode. He began to speak, his voice distorting "sO.... YoU FigURed mE OUt....BuT nOW...YOu Sh@Ll NEvEr EsC@PE! I @M TeXoliUs!" His body explodes into black gas, which soon curves inward. When the gas clears, a huge taco with thousands of eyes and huge tentacles made of condiments. "#€\£<€}{€~*#+_£~'>}>~^{>\€#{!!!!!!" Gibberish sounds from Texolius's body as he begins to attack Single Army.

Single Army begins shooting Texolius with her crossbow, its bolts rapidly hitting home and piercing the monster’s eyes.

"#{%>}*{>#%|<{+}*#>{%!!!!!!!!^}><^{>~^~>{!" The beast roars in pain.

Single Army turns to the camera, then says, "So kids, don't eat at Tex's Taco Factory, because the owner is an evil monster! NOW, DIE MONSTER!" Single Army dodges a falling tentacle, which slams into the camera. The screen is flooded with static.

Spike stares at the TV, it having changed to a picture of Derpy with a broken wall behind her, with the words "We just don't know went wrong!" below her. Spike gets up, walks over to the door, announcing "I'm gonna go lock myself in the cellar until Texolius is defeated." He closes the door behind him, leaving the TV on.

Twilight walks into the room. "Spike, do you have those papers so I can sue Iron Will on account of giving Pinkie Pie caffeine?" She looks around. "Spike?"
