The long flight has bored Rainbow Dash to tears, but she has no desire to play cards with Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and Lemon Drop. Only with an enticing story can she hope to survive the long trip to Cowlick Station intact, and Pinkie has just the story.

Long ago, in the seedy underground of Coruscant's bustling cityscape, Pinkie Pie won a championship card game with a prize pool of millions of credits. When some greedy, vengeful thugs try to relieve her of the winnings, she flees into the heart of the city. Exhausted and on the run, with no weapons to fight back with, she attempts to turn to the only ponies in the world that can help her: mercenaries. Thieves, lowlifes and slum dwellers with the instinct and cunning to escape the undercity intact. Ponies with the street smarts needed to survive and the tools needed to thrive.

But as luck would have it, she finds Lemon Drop instead...
