Chapter 92: The squad is formed
When Purple Haze came back down into the main room of the library, Scar was busying himself with a couch while Twilight was watching with some amusement.
"They all left?" she asked, "Thank goodness, I thought..."
She was interrupted as the gnoll's arm shot beneath the couch and pulled out a frantically flailing pony from beneath, holding it up a few feet above the ground like a caught fish.
"Lieutenant Berryshakes?" Purple Haze watched her struggle with surprise.
"Berryshakes." the gnoll nodded, "Also, four others hiding behind shelves..." he pointed towards the shelves with his maul, "Won't take much longer." he started to pull the maul back, Berryshakes' eyes widened.
"Wait!" Purple Haze interrupted him, "You're not going to hit her, are you?"
"Is only tag spell." the gnoll mumbled, "Won't hurt. Only sends them away."
Purple Haze tilted her head with a frown, "Where?"
"Lulu." Scar replied, making Twilight blush and Purple Haze raise an eyebrow. The princess would likely not be amused by this. Also, she'd have to make a choice concerning her squad.
"Alright, alright." Purple Haze sighed, "Put her down. The rest of you, come out of hiding."
Slowly, as the gnoll set down Berryshakes with a humph, the remaining guard ponies started to appear from behind book shelves and curtains, each of them careful not to get to close to Scar and his maul.
"Thanks, Marshall." Berryshakes managed to choke out between ragged breaths. For the rest of her life, she would be careful of making the gnoll angry again, especially so in closed spaces.
Purple Haze looked over the guard ponies, there was Berryshakes, the privates Whistler and Greenfield from Manehatten, also... "You two?"
Cloud Dancer and Star Glaze gave her sheepish looks as they stepped up to her, all the while keeping a good distance to the gnoll.
"When we heard that you were getting your own squad, we just couldn't help ourselves." Cloud Dancer cringed as the gnoll passed him a skeptical look.
"We just didn't think that the trials would be this hard." Star Glaze commented with a sour face.
"Trials?" Scar turned to Purple Haze, "Scar doesn't understand."
Purple Haze gave a sigh, "It seems that princess Luna has set us up with our own squad, and since these five are the only ones remaining... I guess that means they'll form the new squad." At her words, a huge grin started to form on the faces of the new squad members.
"We made it!" Berryshakes gave a shout of joy, "I'm going to become the best tracker ever!" Scar gave her a look, "At least, the best pony tracker..." she chuckled.
Scar shook his head, "Gnoll still doesn't understand. What is pony squad?"
"It means they will support us during our missions." Purple Haze explained, "They'll travel with us and help keep our backs free."
The gnoll scratched his chin in thought, "Is like hunt pack?"
"Something like that, I guess." Purple Haze replied.
Scar gave Berryshakes and the others a questioning look, "So ponies help Scar hunt rats?"
Whistler took a step forward, "Of course! After our mission in Manehatten there is nothing we wish more than to hunt down those terrible creatures!" next to him, Greenfield gave an approving nod.
Scar eyed them for a lingering moment, "So where are rats?"
Berryshakes tilted her head, "What?"
The gnoll gave a huff, "Where are rats? Ponies say they want to hunt rats with Scar, so where are rats?"
"We don't really know anything new about them..." Berryshakes admitted, "We were kind of hoping that Marshall Purple Haze would give us an update once the squad was formed."
"I am sorry to disappoint you, but the princesses haven't given us any updates either." Purple Haze replied, "I was kind of wondering about that anyway... After all, we did take a few prisoners, so surely there is something they found out?"
Scar pondered on this, "So... Lulu and Celestia should know where rats are?" he asked to no one in particular.
"I guess... they should have interrogated the prisoners by now so they ought to have some kind of intel on them..." Purple Haze gave him a dubious look, "What are you doing?"
The gnoll had raised the maul to his chest, and was holding the head towards himself with a grin, "Scar goes to Lulu and Celestia, finds out for himself."
Purple Haze's eyes became wide, "Wait! Don't tell me you're..."
Before she had finished the sentence, the gnoll poked himself with the maul, "Tag..." and was gone with a puff before the maul hit the floor with a loud thud.
Twilight stared at the spot where Scar had been standing only a moment ago, "Did he... did he just..."
"Could someone pick me up? This floor is very cold."
Purple Haze gave a groan, "At least he'll probably manage to get some information..." she turned to the open-mouthed guards, "So... what are we going to call ourselves?"
Star Glaze raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean, Marshall?"
"Well, we are going to need a name for the squad, don't we? And since Scar is likely going to be gone for a bit we may as well figure one out now."
"Are you ignoring me?"
---
Luna and Celestia had just finished getting the suddenly appeared guards out of Luna's chamber when there was another loud puff, "Oh no..." Luna did not even dare look up this time.
Celestia cringed as the gnoll landed on top of Luna with an audible thump, but couldn't help but wonder, what was this all about?
"Blagh, teleportation always makes Scar dizzy..." the gnoll groaned, "At least Scar landed on something soft... Hello, Celestia!" he waved her a happy greeting.
"Hello, Scar." she replied timidly. Beneath Scar, with big eyes and struggling furiously to get free, Luna was close to tears.
Scar looked down, "Oh... Hello, Lulu!"
"Scar..." Luna managed to wheeze out, "Would you please get off me?"
The gnoll chuckled as he got up and helped Luna to her hooves, "How is Lulu today?"
"I could be better, I am afraid." Luna replied as she wobbled from side to side.
The gnoll watched her with amusement before turning to Celestia with a serious face, "Scar comes to talk."
"You are always welcome to visit us." Celestia replied carefully, "But I am supposed to welcome a delegation from the griffons within the next hour... could it wait until after then?"
Scar scratched his head, "Featherclaws? Mmmm... Very well." the gnoll nodded happily, "Gnoll will meet featherclaws first, then Scar and Celestia can talk."
Celestia felt a bead of sweat run down her forehead. For some reason, she was hesitant to bring the gnoll and the griffons together in one room... but before she could form a response, the gnoll was already walking towards the doors with busy strides, "Oh dear..."

Scar and griffons?
encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSRm9vemkHePTP7xWDnsw9b4mLFwL2axlPjv55uKhzma_GyTrjvyg
place mauk outside, let wait for dog to walk by, laugh as the maul screams and curses at the dog for peeing on him and then yell tag so that everything gets transported to lulu!! Who says discord is the lord of chaos, I think I would make a better one.
shit's gonna hit the fan...

Every time a new chapter of this pops up is like opening a surprise birthday party box of chocolates, on christmas and in the middle of a rollerskating basketball derby held inside a fireworks factory while the ultimate clown orchestra performs a 500-man face-melting guitar solo. IN SPACE.
Y'know, moderately fun.
Calling it now. Scar will ask the gryphon delegation is they know anything about the rats. In a very friendly fashion. With lots of sharp pointy teeth.
Goodness, why does everyone always assume Scar's going to scare the pinfeathers out of the gryphons?
So that's what happens when he tags himself...
2619856
took the words right out of my mouth... at least he doesn't have tag on him.
Either there will be Hell, or Scar and the griffins will get along really well. Or both.
FUCK, it's HOGGER!!! Run lowbies, run for your lives!!
This is going to be awesome.
2620340 Gather the gnomes! We must form a raid!
2619988 Don't forget finding a squad of loyal and obedient super-powered BADASSES the morning after.
2619988 Wow. I've had almost all of my favorite story's update at once, but what you described sounds even better
Oh lody lody lody!
Scar's gon' get some chicken wings for lunch it seems
All hell is gonna break loose!
2620089 Because it's the most likely outcome if and or when those stuck-up pencil-pushing feather-brained jerks insult Scar, one of Scars friends, or both?
2620950
I dunno, Scar could be insulted and not even know it with the way some slimey politicians talk. Hopefully Luna and Celestia will be there to catch them at that game and throw the insults back in their face.
shit meet fan. fan meet shit
2621235 Let the chaos commence!
Well this can only end in disaster and hilarity.
A gnoll, basically a large, bipedal wolf, and griffons, basically catbirds. All in one room.

so much win
2624459
He must really like CSI.
2619988 Dude, that's as extreme as skateboarding on a surfboard in front of a flaming mountain while shooting arrows out of your armpit at a shark made out of guitars while the devil plays "Through The Fire And The Flames". With his nose.
2624695 The group of Daleks I hang with are COMPLETELY under my control. It was an incident involving electrical storms, a washing machine, and an iPhone. Don't ask. Anyways, they follow MY orders almost stupidly. In return, I helped them raise a new, friendlier Dalek empire. One that doesn't go about EXTERMINATE-ing everything. Except 20th-21st century Earth washing machines... again, don't ask.
2625055 Smack door.
2621473 DID SOMEONE SAY CHAOS?!!frontlinegaming.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/89327-chaos-space-marines-very-good-picture.jpg (i decided today i would stop lurking and comment on everything i read ....no matter how stupid the comment
) WARNING large image
2630043 Would you say that Gnolls are a species that have sex for fun... Just like Purple Haze did?
You know, I honestly believe that Scar and the griffins are going to become fast friends.
I really do.
That tag spell is so overpowered. Holy shit.
7574675
Its basically instant teleportation for a specific point and can work like a good escape for emergencies
I know this story is complete and all but I wish tag was kind of like Thor's hammer and it could be called by Scar and would come to him no matter the distance
