Trixike flew back to her castle after over an hour of scouring the forest

"Waste of my fucking time" She muttered, her eye twitched "And of course the hat and horn didn't know what was up, not that they proved anything, but Trixike has better things to do with her time then trying to kill them at every opportunity." She nodded "also I wasn't really ready to fight them" she added sheepishly, "I'm going to need more monsters first....but I guess I've scared them all off or something" she grumbled angrily, as she landed she cleared her throat

"I'm back!" She sang out happily as the Mega Flower began snapping in her direction "The Forest is empty" She sighed as she looked around her castle yard, it was large but rather barren, broken pillars lay on the ground and it was just an overall mess "I'm going inside" she decided as she circumambulated the Mega Fower before heading for the door "Call Trixike when the Pinkie arrives" She added as she walked down the dusty halls, she noted that her mud bricks where already failing in their job as she walked past a pile of them that had fallen out of the wall.

"This castle sucks" she grumbled "Trixike is so going to take that Crystal castle for herself once she's wrangled up enough monsters" as she walked through the hall past the throne room she looked in and at the tapestries above the two thrones "I want to sit in here" she muttered "But every time I walk in here I feel like I'm disappointing those two up there" She looked up at the two Alicorns and nodded "And I feel like when they come back their gonna be pissed enough about its condition, don't want them pissed at me for sitting in their chairs" she turned and left the room "besides the courtyard, towers, and Library are totally mine now" she lit her horn and teleported to her tower, it was the only area in the castle that was now Dust free. "ah Tower-Cart sweet Tower-Cart, how Trixike has missed you" she sighed as she walked in, she had gotten rid of the vanity dresses after she had broken most of it in the events of sowing her cut shut, now in it's placed sat a pile of boxes and the Chess set from the castel, the pieces where set in their proper positions she sat down and moved a pawn, without a word she walked over to the other side and sat down, moving a pawn form that side before walking back over to the first side, after 5 minutes she sat in deep consentration on the first side

"Don't think you're going to beat Trixike so easily!" she said staring hard at the empty space in front of her "For I, Trixike, has thoroughly thought every possible solution to this game, and now with this piece.." Trixike moved her queen and took the other side's knight "...Trixike has rendered you helpless, you have no choice but to knock down your own King In surrender!" Trixike laughed to herself for a second before calmly walking over to the other side,

"Dumbass," She said bluntly before moving her Queen out of reach of the other and in a direct path to the other side's king. "Checkmate," she said simply with a smile before walking back over to the other side, she blinked at the board

"BUCK!" She screamed before swiping her arms across the board, sending all the pieces flying into the wall "Your cheating aren't you!?" She yelled at the empty space in front of her, "ADMIT IT!" She demanded after a second of silence. Before she could continue she heard the Mega Flower's roar "Oh, the Pinkie has arrived for the 8" she said as she levitated over the cape and put it on with a nod "now I look fancy" she decided as she tucked her wings into her side and teleported to the door, she walked out into the Courtyard, circumambulating the Mega Flower again before heading for the front gate. waiting for her on the other side of the moat was the Pinkie and a second creature that seemed completely off in every way

"Greeting Pinkie and Thing" she said without skipping a beat, without a word she jumped into the moat, swam across and got back out, she gave herself a shack and removed the crab that had hitched a ride on her tail "the hell kind of fish are you?" she asked as it clicked it's claw's at her, shrugging she enveloped it in her magic and let it click away above her "Greeting's odd creature" she said looking up at Discord who was silently chuckling.

"I already like her" he whispered to Pinkie as the watched the Crab float above her. "Yes Hello!" Discord said offering his Lion paw hand "I am Discord god of Chaos!" he said as Trixike shook his paw "and It's a pleasure to meet you" Discord looked into the Courtyard and saw the Mega Flower, it's jaw's where open and it's tough was whipping around trying to get at them "oh my" he said as he looked at it in awe "it's even more Chaotic than I imagine" a comically large tear escaped from his eye "what a glorious day" with that said he flew straight to the flower, Before Trixike could argue Pinkie walked over and shook her still outstretched claws.

"Here!" She said happily, letting go of Trixike's claws and placing a neatly wrapped present in it "For you Castel!" She said happily as she jumped across the lake "and I like that you've still got the cape!" She added "I can find the hat for you if you don't have it!" that said Pinkie ran inside the courtyard and Trixike looked at the box in her claws and looked in the Court Yard, Discord was wearing a Lion tamers outfit, holding a chair and whipping at the Mega Flower as it tried to eat him. she looked back at the cape on her back, then back at the present. carefully she put her claws on the paper and tore through it, after a second she opened the lid and looked inside it. inside was an image of the pony and Dragon she had found with the chess set, It was apparent right away that they had not wanted to take the image, the Dragon was being levitated by the end of his tail by the unicorn, who was, in turn, getting her ear pulled on, there where words on the bottom of the image and on the Picture Frame, but since she couldn't read they where nothing but Decoration to her, she smiled at the two creatures

"Weird" she muttered "But nice" she teleported the image to her cart with a smile before turning back the to her snapping new friend "Don't worry" she told it as if floated around "I'm not going to feed you to the Mega Flower, I'm gonna find something just as Unique as you and make you one" she hopped back across the moat and looked on in silence at the stranges thing ever, Discord and Pinkie where sitting at a Table next to the Mega Flower playing with some Cards, the Mega Flower looked over at Discord and made a noise

"Go Fish" Discord said simply, the Mega Flower made a clicking sound as it used a vine to draw a card

"So many questions," Trixike said with a head shake "Not enough time in the day for an answer" she decided as she walked over to Discord "So what did you get me?" she asked. Discord thought for a second

"I suppose it is the polite thing to do" he muttered, he sat in silence for a second before pointing to the crab "Also that's called a Crab, just so you know, it's not that interesting of a creature"

"maybe not now" Trixike sang "but once I find the right object..." Discord held up his hand as Pinkie and the Flower began making a Card tower. "Hold the phone...you can't do that" Discord held up his hand to the Mega Flower "You must use a Plant! Just look at this thing!" the Mega Flower blinked at him "I can't even tell what it originally was!"

"A flower, A tree, and a dying Spider" Trixike said simply

"Ah, that explains the Mandibles" Discord muttered looking at said body parts around the Flower's mouth, "Alright let me think, what Object would make a good looking crab mosnter...well obviously..."Discord snapped and a Palm Tree appeared next to Trixike "...The Tree has to be exotic, and is needed for size" Discord scratched his chin, "but what else, oh come on I can think of something..."

"I know! I know!" Pinkie jumped in "A CACTUS!" Discord turned and pointed at her

"PINKIE YOU EVIL GENIOUS!!"

"A what-tus?" Trixike asked Discord snapped and said item appeared next to Trixike, before anything could be done Trixike was handed a notepad by Discord "now just sign here, signifying you know to never tell anypony, ESPECIALLY FLUTTERSHY, That we had any hand in this creature" Trixike looked at the notepad

"I can't read," She said bluntly, Discord took her hand and covered it in ink

"just a claw print then" Discord corrected after Trixike hit the paper and it vanished she turned to the cactus and the Palm tree and carefully place the Crab on top of the tree, Discord, Pinkie, and the Mega flower watched in silence as Trixike's eye's glew Blue and a ball of magic materialized between her horn, the ball shot out and hit the three Cactus and Crab and the three items melted

"ok, so this might explode," Trixike said causing the trio next to her to turn "so just a heads up." They watched as a mega-sized crab began forming, the top half was mostly organic, but the legs and claw's where entirely plant, taking on the texture of the palm tree, it was when the exoskeleton formed that the Cactus came into place, the Greens cactus-like skin began forming, sharp spike's sticking out, at the point where the arms began Palmtree leaves began sprouting, the legs and the creatures head had a wooden texter, but the rest was cactus.

"wow, I guess Plant's don't explode," Trixie said as the Creature's eye's fully formed and it blinked, the creature looked around in confusion as Trixike squealed "Yes! Finally a new creature!" She hugged it's leg as it looked around, she let go and levitated to eye level "Turn on me and I'll bury you in the ground like the Mega Flower.

"Marvelous" Discord cheered as he looked up at the New Creature! " a PalmTree Crab Cactus!" Pinkie was on the creatures head throwing confetti

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She screamed before turning to the Mega Flower and Trixike individually and throwing confetti on them "and Happy Later Birthdays!" she added, the Crab monster looked around, completely confused as it tried to figure out where it was, why it was there, and what it was in general.
