nicely done, though I AM curious as to whom that Green Lantern/Guardian/Whatever is; also:
[Don't hate me because I'm beautiful~] “Too late.”
considering what this is more then likely referencing, I honestly can't fault Scoots on her reaction...
[YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!] “Ugh, gag me.”
oh, come on: the Star Wars prequel trilogy wasn't THAT bad...
[Moon-Prism Power!] “Seen it.”
huh: I honestly wouldn't have anticipated SCOOTALOO of all ponies/people/whatever as a Sailor Moon fan...nice touch there, author
"Well it’s not like Rainbow and her girlfriend weren't paying that much attention anyways." Sunset said with a smirk. “If you’re gonna get on my case about it then-” To her surprise however Rainbow immediately stood up with a confident smirk on her face. “The first puzzle involved walking with your left foot forward as a sign of respect to the cursed statues of the Pharaoh, the second one required you to listen to the riddle of the Sphinx, then take the word “spy”, the letter “D”, and the sound “er” and put them all together to make the word “spider”, and the last one was a test of which object was of true value: a fabulous golden cup encrusted with jewels or a simple, worn and battered clay cup. Taking the normal cup would grant eternal life while taking the golden cup made you rapidly age to death.”
that moment when you realize that Rainbow Dash is an active "Daring Do" fan and that the book in question that they are currently discussing is the SAME one that she gifted and shared with a hospital-bound Scootaloo
Once again, excellent job on this latest chapter. The action, exchanges, emotional content and future chapter set-up were, of course, quite well done in all the right places. I particularly liked the scenes with Rainbow, Gilda and Scoots in the hospital, the scene in the classroom, the scenes with the Dazzlings and the fight between Sunset and the mysterious new hero. I, too, am curious about the identity of this "Green Guardian".
I doubt it's Rainbow because, while she might be one of the few who consistently has the willpower to stand up to Sunset, she would also have too big an ego to hide her identity behind a mask, especially if she (understandably) thought she had the power to protect her family and friends anyway if it came to that.
It COULD, however, be somebody who hasn't yet appeared in the story. OR it could (probably isn't, but it still could) be one of the Canterlot High teachers (the mentions of "teaching" plus you have to consider that, if anybody can put up with having Sunset as a student for two years without losing their temper HAS to have willpower to spare.
But, at any rate, I will definitely be looking forward to more of this, but will also understand that real world concerns have to come first.

She's not really a die-hard fan per-say, but reading them to her little sister all the time is slowly making her become one. By the way, there are at least three separate references hidden in the trials, think you can spot them?
As for the Green Guardian, at this moment she's basically to be sort of an "unbreakable wall" for Sunset, since at this point there's not really much stopping her from outright taking over (bar the Black Lanterns themselves), her identity will be revealed much later in the story.
BTW, I was hoping to get some input on your thoughts toward Sunset's issues with her parents, or rather their dysfunctional relationship at the moment.
As for the show of the issues, yeah, that was pretty well done too. It would make sense that a ring powered by anger would also amplify her pre-existing bitterness toward both versions of her parents and big brother (specifically, the favoritism shown toward said big brother [who probably has his OWN issues from the pressure of living up to those expectations despite being NOT anywhere near as powerful as his sister]).

8171351 Yeah. I gotcha. Thanks for the info.

Nice new story, I can't wait to read more. Also
was this the song neverending strife or a different song with the same line?
I like this Sunset, and totally agree that rage fits her.
Oh hoho, so Sunset can't go full villain, nice. Great Green Lantern there. Looking forward for more.
