Con returned to the CIE Headquarters in Canterlot to get some gadgets from S.

Con: Hello S. How are you?
S: Fine. Another day, another dollar.
Con: What do te have for me?
S: I have some things that might grab your interest. First, I got a brand new Aston Maretin for you. With machine pistole that pop out of the sides, turbo boost, wings with jet engines that pop out of the doors with the push of a button, and stinger missiles behind the headlights.
Con: That's a lot.
S: You'll need it when te take out Discord. Word is that he just made a deal with Mexico, and now they joined his army.
Con: Oh great. We're supposed to find Shadow The Hedgehog, and make him talk about Discord.
Spike: Well, good luck with that.
Con: I'm going to guess that te don't know where he is.
S: I don't even know who he is.
Con: Whatever, mostra me some other gadgets.
S: Right. *Shows toy tank*
Con: Don't te think I'm too old for toys?
S: This is no ordinary toy 0007. Watch, and learn. *Puts toy tank on ground, and grabs remote control* te sposta the tank around with the left analog stick, and sposta the torretta around with the right analog stick. And with the left button, te shoot shells from the turret. *Hits left button*

A small shell was shot out of the tank, hit a wall, and blew a huge hole in it.

Con: And, the right button is for the machine gun. Am I correct?
S: Yes. Here's another thing. *Shows bike chain*
Con: Do te expect me to lock up my car with this?
S: No, but if te somehow end up putting this on somepony's bike, te can set up the lock combination, and have it go off at anytime te want. *Moving numbers on bike chain* Tap the two middle digits twice to arm the bomb, and tap it twice to disarm it.
Con: Very creative. Is that it?
S: Oh, just one più thing. And it's not the Columbo reference I just made. *Shows Mini Uzi* Extended clip to hold 40 bullets, and is fully automatic. Now, bring all four of these to me in one piece Mr. Mane.
Con: te know I will. *Grabs gadgets, and puts them in car*
S: Yep. Sure.
Con: *Drives away*

Meanwhile, at my house, I was laying in letto with arcobaleno Dash.

Sean: You've been a very good princess so far. *Kissing arcobaleno Dash*
arcobaleno Dash: And you're a great general. *Kisses Sean*
Sean: te could be one like me te know.
arcobaleno Dash: I don't think I know how.
Sean: Well, I guess you'll have to be in military training. *Kisses arcobaleno Dash*
arcobaleno Dash: *Kisses Sean* Aw yeah.

The doorbell rings.

Sean: Well, I wonder who that could be. *Gets out of bed*
arcobaleno Dash: Do te want me to wait here?
Sean: I don't know, I probably won't come back.
arcobaleno Dash: Don't say that. You're the toughest war hero I know.
Sean: Well, thanks for the encouragement. *Runs downstairs, and opens door* Hello Mr. Mane.
Con: te ready?
Sean: te know I am.
Con: Good, because we need to find Shadow quickly.
Sean: Alright, let's get in my car, and-
Con: Hold up, your car? No, we're taking my car.
Sean: I wanna take my car!
Con: Well too bad, you're getting in my car!
Sean: *Sighs* Excuse me for a minute. *Runs upstairs*
Con: Where are te going?!
Sean: *Returns to arcobaleno Dash* Take the keys to my car, and follow me.
arcobaleno Dash: Why?
Sean: Because Con won't let me take it, but I wanna ride it. That's why I want te to follow me.
arcobaleno Dash: I ain't getting involved in this!
Sean: Yeah te are. Call Luna, let her know that you're helping me out with something, and that she'll have to take over for you.
arcobaleno Dash: Ugh, fine.
Sean: Thank you. *Runs back to Con*
Con: What was that all about?
Sean: Mind your own business. *Gets in car*
Con: *Gets in car, and drives* I am minding my own business, you're my partner.
Sean: We only met ten minuti ago. We haven't known each other long enough. Therefore it is not your business.
Con: Well, if te keep that behavior up, maybe I won't want to know you.
Sean: Well, you're gonna have to get used to that, because we're working together. Shadow the hedgehog could be anywhere, and we need to find him.
Con: Yeah, whatever. *Looking in rearview mirror* Is that your special somepony following us?
Sean: Yeah.
Con: She's got a nice car.
Sean: Actually, that's my car. te know... The one te wouldn't let me drive. The one I wanted to use to hunt down Shadow with.
Con: Vintage cars like that shouldn't be used for hunting down enemies.
Sean: I do it all the time, and it has never been damaged whatsoever.
Con: Yeah, okay. It had to get damaged at least once.
Sean: Nope.
Con: Why not?
Sean: I park it in a sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza spot.
