"Papa, are we almost there?"
A weather-beaten stallion leaned down, letting his son clamor onto his head so he could see better over the railing of their ship. The old 3-mast sailing ship was cutting through the water at a quick pace and about her deck her crew scurried around, checking the rigging and ensuring the sails were set correctly. An assortment of ponies from the Old World were on the deck, straining to see the first signs of land through the heavy shroud of fog that hung over the Mareatine. They knew they were close and could not wait to spot the first signs of their new home.
They had left their countries of origin hoping to make a fresh start in this lush land, this land of dreams where the impossible was made real. Some dreamed of striking it rich and becoming wealthier than kings. Others merely desired a plot of land to call their own and a chance for their fillies and colts to have brighter futures.
"Yes, my boy... do you see it?"
The colt leaned forward, squinting as he tried to see through the cloud that hung around their ship. "No, I do... wait... wait... yes, I see!" The cry moved through the immigrants and they cheered as they saw the tall skyscrapers of Manehattan. The colt looked down at his papa and grinned. "We made it, papa!"
"Yes, my boy, yes we did! We have finally made it to Equestria, the land of promise and of freedom. Our lives will better now, my little one, and all our troubles-"
BOOM!
The ship trembled and the immigrants cried out as some of the crew called out that they were taking on water. They all turned as one, staring at the ship that had struck them on the broadside.
"Sorry about that!" Cadence cried out from the other ship, waving to the group. "I was distracted by my husband's yummy flank! Should we trade insurance information?"
"Who is that, papa?"
The stallion grimaced. "No one important, I am sure."
"Hi, I'm Princess Cadence! I rule the Crystal Empire and I hold the record for most hot dogs swallowed in a single sitting! This is my family, Princess Celestia, who likes to use ponies as chess pieces; Princess Luna, who use to be Nightmare Moon and third worst threat to Equestria; Queen Chrysalis, fourth worst threat to Equestria; my husband Shining Armor... I don't know what his threat level is to Equestria but I know his sexy level is through the roof; and Lord Tydal, the war god who leads an entire race of bloodthirty killers... who all live right on the shores of this very country!"
"Hello," Tydal said with a wave. “Looking forward to hopefully not killing you!”
"...I am thinking the old country wasn't that bad, papa."
The God Squad: Equestria's Most Wanted
Episode 24: Something More
"Princess Celestia!"
The sun goddess smiled as Twilight rushed towards her, the purple alicorn's royal shoes flying off due to her rapid gait and wild abandon. All thoughts of decorum and noble bearing were tossed aside as Twilight hurried to her mentor and gave her a hug. "We thought you were dead!"
"We thought you were dead," Luna piped up as she approached the two. She glanced over at her brother/father-figure and frowned. "I thought you commanded all the rich elite be killed off, Tydal." Luna looked around the room at the gathered ponies, dressed in their finest clothes and wearing their powdered wigs and squinting through their little monocles. "I am surprised your army failed to do its duty."
"There certainly is a lot less blood than I suspected," Shining commented.
"Oh, they killed everypony," Spike said, walking over to the group. "Luckily for us nearly every pony has at least 5 dopplegangers running around, so we just had them step in and take over."
“I use ta be a rock farmer!” one of the ‘noble’ ponies declared.
"It's actually a common occurance," Celestia stated, not the least bit concerned. "I mean, we've already gone through 15 Bluebloods."
"And I'm the 5th Jet Set!" another pony called out.
Tydal nodded, stroking his beard. "I have been meaning to ask you about that, Celestia; why do so many of your ponies look alike?"
Celestia sighed. "There are maybe 30 stallions in the entire country, Tydal. Almost every pony is related to each other."
"Inbreeding," Chrysalis said with a nod. "That would explain a lot."
“Said the goddess who’s subjects all look the same,” Luna muttered.
"Yes," Twilight said, "but luckily for us genetics are CHANGELING QUEEN!" She leapt ten feet into the air, eyes wide as she screamed.
Cadence looked around in fear. "Where?" She turned to Chrysalis. "Do you see her?"
"I am her."
"...oh." The love goddess nodded to herself happily. "I keep forgetting that... maybe I should go on some medication to correct-"
"NO!" the rest of her group shouted.
Shining hugged his wife. "Sweetie, I love you just the way you are."
"You mean you love me all flighty and giggly?" Cadence asked, batting her eyelashes.
"I think he meant he loves that you aren't fat," Chrysalis muttered.
Twilight, still floating in the air, glared at the group. "This is all interesting and I would love to have a nice forum on the over-medication of today's society but could we please focus on the fact that the Changeling Queen is standing right here?" Her horn glowed. "Are you all changelings? Have you killed the real royal family and dumped their bodies in Ghastly Gorge while you begin your final attempt at revenge upon all of us?"
Luna rolled her eyes. "I swear, she doesn't get her overactive imagination from me."
"I am not your... oh, just forget it!" Twilight landed on the ground, though she did keep her horn charged and pointed at Chrysalis. "But none of you have answered my question."
“I would like to point out that I am a touch offended that I had my soldiers kill around a hundred ponies and it is the goddess that got defeated by Cadence snogging her husband that warrants threats.” Tydal huffed. “I don’t understand this world, sometimes.”
“Tydal, please,” Shining said, moving to stand between his sister and his (*shudder*) sister-in-law. "Twiley, I know this seems weird but Chrysalis doesn't mean us any harm." Shining glanced over at the bug-pony. "Turns out she's family now."
"Huh?" Twilight said, eyebrow raised.
"Let me explain," Luna said, her horn glowing as she brought over a large rolled up sheet of parchment. Setting it up on the wall, she unfurled it to reveal a large family tree.
"See, family," Chrysalis said, gesturing to her spot on the family tree. "Which means I should receive a full pardon and be allowed to bum around in one of the guest rooms for a while. And I should also be able to raid the fridge whenever I want."
“I can’t help but notice many of our brothers and sisters are missing from this,” Celestia said.
“Meh, the damn printer charged by the vector,” Luna complained.
Twilight, ignoring the debate about the family tree, glared at Chrysalis. "You turned my friends against me, kidnapped my sister-in-law, brainwashed my brother, attacked my mentor, nearly destroyed Canterlot... what makes you think for a moment anyone-"
"You're pardoned," Celestia said calmly. "Now, who wants lunch?"
"I could go for Tex-Mex," Luna stated.
"But...but..." Twilight said, jaw hanging to her knees.
"Oh, come now Twilight," Discord said, popping in next to her. He was wearing a baseball cap and a white t-shirt that read "I Appeared in Darth Link's Fan Fic and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt". "You act as this is the first time you've seen a former foe reformed. Little Luna, if memory serves, wanted to bath the world in darkness and I so enjoyed headgames! But now we are both welcomed back with open- do you hear a loud growl?"
"DISCORD!" Tydal roared, Shining managing to pluck Giggles from the capricorn's back moments before he leapt at the chaos god. Discord caught his brother, smiling as Tydal snapped his razor-sharp teeth at his brother's nose. The spirit of disharmony held Tydal at arms length, cooing at him like he was a puppy.
"Oh, look at you, baby brother... all grown up and wearing your big boy pants." Discord snapped his fingers and Tydal fell to the ground, regressed to foal-age. "There, you are much cuter like that."
"Discord," Celestia warned.
Giggles trotted over to Tydal and blinked in confusion. "Huh?"
The chaos god glanced at her. "Come now, Tia... he attacked me first! I have to be allowed my fun."
"Actually, I was going to warn you that you should turn him back not for his sake but for yours."
The chaos god placed his hand on his chest in mock horror. "And what could he possibly-"
"BA!" Tydal snarled, leaping up and ripping Discord's other tooth from his mouth.
"AAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Discrod cupped his mouth and screamed, “WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE TOOTH!”
"Ba ba ba!" Tydal babbled in anger, scurrying up Discord's back. His tail lashed out and Discord began to spin around in circles, attempting to remove the baby capricorn before he cut off his wings.
"Anyone got at popcorn?" Luna said with a smirk.
"Nope, but I could make us some waffles," Shining said. When Twilight looked at him he shrugged. "I am the god of the dawn now."
"Since when?" Twilight screeched.
"A month or so," Shining admitted.
“…what the hell happened on this trip of yours?!?!”
"HELP!" Discord whimpered; Tydal had somehow ended up on his paw and was attempting to gum his fingers off one at a time. "This is cruel and unusual punishment!"
Celestia sighed and used her magic to pull Tydal off him. "Tydal, Discord will change you back if you swear to not hurt him unless provoked."
The baby capricorn looked away, tapping his chin as he considered her suggestion.
"Well?"
"Ba!" Tydal complained, motioning that he needed time to think. Finally, the sea god nodded and the next moment was standing there in his fully grown glory. "Discord, here's your tooth back." His own magic flared out and Discord yelped as his tooth was jammed back into his gums.
"I think I will go and visit Fluttershy," Discord said, pretending to be emotionally scarred. "She is sure to make me some cookies after she hears of this."
"Discord, a moment," Tydal said, stepping forward. The chaos god eyed him warily and Tydal heaved a sigh. "You and I will never be close, brother… not after all we have grown through. Mostly likely one of us will kill the other before Mother gets tired of this reality and wipes it clean. That said… there is one thing you could do that would go a long way to settling things between us." Discord raised an eyebrow and Tydal trotted over to him, whispering in his big brother's ear.
The chaos god grinned; this was well within his power as eldest sibling... and would also annoy dear Zeena to no end. Teasing Tydal was fun, mostly because the war god could give as good as he got. But Zeena and the rest? Oh, now they were ones that needed pranking and all they would do is whine. "Consider it done." He snapped his fingers and disappeared.
"Lookie!" Giggles exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention to her. The filly was laughing in utter delight as she swished her tail... her long, black-scaled tail with a small yet sharp fan blade at the end. "Like dada!"
Tydal scooped her up and kissed zebra-turned-capricorn filly's nose. "That's right, my little princess; like dada."
~MC~MC~MC~
Cadence and Shining snuggled up to each other, watching as Luna brought out the moon and the stars (and oh how Luna had missed having the moments to actually craft the sky the way she wanted it to look). The moon princess blushed a little at the ooohs and aaaaahhhs she received as she began the finishing touches on the shooting stars; it seemed that after a thousand years ponies had learned to love the night.
Celestia was seated with Twilight, going over all she had missed during their adventure, while Chrysalis listened to Tydal as he happily told her about Merida's reaction when he'd sent word via the waterways that he'd gotten them a new baby daughter (his queen had been incredibly positive, while Coral squealed in delight and Misty casually stating that she would have to mentor her new baby sister to make sure she didn’t go nuts like half the family). Discord, for his part, had returned with cookies courtesy of Fluttershy and the color drained from his cheeks; they'd learned he'd appeared in Fluttershy's bedroom at the wrong moment and could now attest that Big Macintosh had entirely earned his nickname. He was now seated in the corner, playing with something he called an 'Eye-Pad' and trying to avoid remembering the trauma he'd gone through (Tydal, meanwhile, had gotten with Twilight and convinced her they needed to send Fluttershy a Thank-You fruit basket).
Twilight cleared her throat. "You know, now that I know you all were alive, a lot of things I read about in the newspapers makes sense."
"What do you mean, Twiley?" Shining asked.
"Well... there were all these news reports about strange things going on..."
"What sort of things?" Cadence asked.
"Well... like this abandoned asylum that ponies thought was haunted suddenly blew up. And a civil war in Prance suddenly stopping and both sides agreeing to a peace accord." Twilight's wings fluttered. "And before that there was this story about a murderous gang of rapists and thieves being taken out."
"That reminds me," Luna said, "why didn't your friend Rarity tell you we were alive?"
"I asked her about that... something about being bitter over 'that horrid OC attempting to buy my sister'."
Tydal grinned. "Oh yes, I must remember to collect Sweetie Belle."
Discord shuddered. "I would think twice about that, baby brother... I am the god of chaos and the Cutie Mark Crusaders scare the chocolate milk out of me." He lifted up his arms and twin streams of milk shot out of his armpits. “See?”
“Ugh!” Chrysalis complained.
Celestia mulled over the information Twilight had given them. "It is strange, my faithful student... while we were stuck in those 'wacky adventures'-"
"So that's how you do air quotes with hooves," Discord said.
"-we didn't have a chance to look beyond what was happening and see the good we were bringing about."
"It is kinda awe-inspiring, when you think about it," Shining said. "I mean, we took down pirates and stopped a war..."
"And blew a lot of things up!" Cadence said happily. "BOOM!" She nuzzled her husband. "I think I'm becoming sexual attracted to fire."
"Let's deal with that later, ok sweetie?" Shining said, kissing her on the nose.
"Imagine if we had actually been trying," Chrysalis laughed.
Luna blinked. "What if we did try?"
"Luna?" Tydal said.
"What if we did try?" Luna said again, standing up and pacing in front of them. "The first time we went on our little road trip, it was to find Chryssy and hoof punch her in the flank."
"Which I did!" Tydal said proudly while Chrysalis rubbed her flank.
"And this second time was by accident... yet we still accomplished so much! What if we actually focused our attention and abilities on achieving some goals and making the world a better place?"
Celestia frowned. "We do that already... we are princesses and queens and kings..."
Luna waved her off. "We are so bogged down by bureaucratic red tape that we can't do anything within the system. But what if we went outside our governments? What if we became something greater... something more?"
Cadence raised her hoof. "Are you suggesting that we become a kind of superhero team that travels the globe fighting evils that are too great for mere mortals to face?"
"...yeah."
"I'm in!" She giggled in delight. "I LOVE spandex!"
"And you know that means I'll be a part of this," Shining said, kissing Cadence on the cheek.
Chrysalis rubbed her chin. "Well, if I did help take down evil that would leave less competition... count me in."
"Sister?" Luna asked.
Celestia looked at her little sister through narrowed eyes. "This is foolish. You have not bothered to think this plan through and it is most assuredly going to lead to places none of us could predict. Only somepony who was completely insane would take on such a task." The sun goddess smirked. "Then again, I haven't had this much fun since I was a filly. Count me in."
"And of course I will be helping when I can" Discord said, puffing out his chest.
"Who said you were invited?" Shining asked, raising an eyebrow.
The chaos god snapped his fingers and was suddenly in an overly gaudy military uniform. "I will have you know, Shining Armor, that now that I have been reformed I find myself in need of an outlet for my chaos. I am quite sure that Fluttershy will agree... a task such as this will only help me on my way on the path to goodness and puppies and all things nice." He flashed them a grin. "Plus it sounds like a blast."
Twilight nodded her head. "Well, I don't think I will go with you all just yet... I still need to get use to my new powers. But I will keep an eye out here and assist when I can."
All eyes turned to Tydal.
"What?" the capricorn said, his attention mostly focused on the BLT he was eating (the bacon coming courtesy of Shining Armor).
"Are you with us or not?" Luna asked. She ran up to him and batting her eyelashes, her eyes quivering with unshed tears as she gave him her best puppy-dog look. "Pwease?"
"Did you all miss the part where I adopted a baby zebra and haven't been with my family for more than 2 weeks straight since we all woke up? You honestly want me to abandon my wife, my twins and my new baby daughter just to go on wacky adventures?" Cadence, Celestia and Chrysalis joined in on the puppy-dog look while Discord actually turned into a puppy and whimpered.
"We'll need somepony to do our killing," Shining said.
Tydal's shoulders slumped. "I suppose you will need an OC to get you out of your messes."
"YAY!" Luna cheered, hugging her brother/father figure. “You’ll see, this will turn out great and nothing-“
“Why does that stainglass window depict Twilight’s baby dragon killing my dog?”
“Huh?” Luna said, her speech derailed as Tydal trotted over to the stainglass window that depicted Spike defeating King Sombra. “Tydal, what are you-“
“Hey guys, sorry I’m late!” Spike said, walking into the room loaded down with snacks. “We doing movie night? I got Pony Trek: The Wrath of Khan on laser disc!”
Tydal whipped around, his head lowered and lips peeled back to expose his razor sharp teeth. “You murdered my Wiggles!”
“What?” Spike said.
“I’LL KILL YOU!” Tydal screamed, leaping at Spike.
“AAAAAAAAA!” Spike tossed the snacks to Luna and darted out of the room. “Ok, ok, we can watch Iron Mare 3 instead!”
“WIGGLES!”
“Should we stop them?” Luna asked.
Twilight shrugged. “I would, but he did abandon me and let Fluttershy kidnap me… and Spike could stand to lose a few pounds... I say let him get a few laps in.”
“WIGGLES!”
The God Squad will return in 'Crisis of Infinite Twilights'
The God Squad: Equestria's Most Wanted will return later this year
And thus ends the first half of The God Squad: Equestria's Most Wanted.
I originally never planned for this chapter to even exist and for the characters to go this route. The original plan, way back when i first started this series almost 9 months ago, was that Most Wanted would end with an arc where the cast learned that Discord's actions throughout the show and the series were a result of his twin, the goddess of Harmony. She needed a rival, an opposite, and thus forced Discord to commit evil. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten to this next point (again, these are only one sentence notes I wrote down in my notebook when I was coming up with ideas) but it would finally come to a head where Harmony fires a killshot at Discord, only for Tydal to leap in the way. Tydal, as he died, would tell Discord he did it because Discord was family and charge him with protecting Luna and Celestia. When Tydal would finally die, Discord would snap his fingers and bring EVERY character from the series to the battle field, tell them all that 'she did it', then take Tydal's body away, telling everyone 'this isn't fun anymore'.
We would have then gotten a chapter where we see the Squad preparing for Tydal's funeral, only for Luna to refuse to attend. After all the characters gave a little eulogy Luna would reappear and reveal that she refused to accept Tydal's death... and she would then open the gates to the Afterlife and tell Merida she was going to charge Elysium and get Tydal back. Celestia, Chrysalis, Discord, Cadence and Shining would join her, ending that season with them entering the gates. That would have led to Season 3: The Search for Tydal.
But then again, I had many ideas originally that I altered and changed and this story will now follow a different, and much more funny, path. The second half of this season will see the squad journeying on missions to protect the world.
Things to expect when the story returns:
-A Trip to Saddle Arabia that sees Cadence kidnapped and Discord and Shining teaming up to save her.
-A visit to Reinssia, home of the Perytons, the great rivals of the Capricorns.
-A Journey to the Alternate Gender Universe
-Ninjas.
But before that... the Crisis.
Bravo.
Now we just need to wait.
Lol WIGGLES
...I had forgotten that Sombra was Tydal's dog for a bit.
Not gonna laugh.
Foreshadowing?
And so the truth of sombra comes out... WIGGLES!!!!
The God Squad becoming Super Heros? Role over Power Ponies you've been replaced!
Nice end to the midseason and can't wait for both the Crisis and the second half of this story. Should be fun once they travel around causing even more havoc. I had forgotten about Sombra at this point, but seeing Tydal trying to kill Spike for killing his "dog" was just hilarious.
Great!
look while Discord actually turned into a puppy and whimpered. Discord, for his part, turned into a little dog and whimpered.
FIX IT.
*seeing the adventure part starting up when all of the god squad mentions about doing another adventure* Am I the only one who hears music starting up ready for adventure?
Bye God squad...see you soon!
OH GODS!!! It's over....it's over...it's....ah, shit! Well, at least Discord will be in this, I'm in Must have more randomness, and Derpy....mainly Derpy Oh this is going perfect, honestly though wish one of them would stay behind so it does not seem so repeated but then again, these six are what make the story so...eh, I can deal, plus Tydal is funny as hell, love it. Wonder if the evil muffin will come back Ah shit....here we go again, I need a smoke
Also Spike "The Crystal Savior" Vs. Tydal "The God of War and the Ocean"
ROUND ONE!
FIGHT!
Crisis incoming? Oh yes.
will they be having a debate on what to call their team that will result in discord being kidnapped and not wanting to be apart of the squad? on the upnote, WOO HOO! the god quad is back in business!
Okay, I'll bite, the hell is that brown thing in the family picture between Merida and Chrysalis?
I don't know if you've noticed, but me and patience don't exactly go together.
I killed 400 vehicon troopers yesterday to pass time waiting for season 4.
"while Discord actually turned into a puppy and whimpered. Discord, for his part, turned into a little dog and whimpered."
3202401
That would be the Zsar of Reinssia, Lord of the Perytons, God of Winter. The Perytons and the Capricorns were old rivals but friendly with each other... they had wars just for fun and Tydal and his brother the Zsar were best friends before Tydal was turned to stone. The Zsar will appear in the second half of this season.
3204601 That's actually pretty cool. Looking forward to it.
3204897
They've already refereed to themselves as the God Squad. If I remember correctly, the first time they did so was way back in Season One, during the Griffland Arc. Luna and Tydal do the Team Rocket motto and state "God Squad Blast off at the Speed of Light!"
Edit: And yes, the original idea was that, during the Prance arc, events would occur that caused the Squad to be labeled as fakes. That changed.
3201199 The Kamen Ponies will continue on though.
i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/212/156/93658%20-%20crossover%20kamen_rider%20kamen_rider_double%20kamen_rider_w%20mane_6.png
3204926 Ah yes Kamen Riders. The show that Saban turned into a Power Rangers knock off.
3206097 And both attempts tanked. I think he should just leave the Kamen Rider series alone. And while he's at that, maybe start making better megazord toys. Just compare Gosei Great and the Gosei Great Megazord for example.
Have you ever shown Kamen Rider footage to someone and they ask about it as if it were Power Rangers? It's annoying, but rather understandable. I think the best way to highlight some of the differences is the last battle of Decade's Shinkenger arc, or Super Hero Taisen.
3206820 Well for the Megazords he can only work with what Japan gives him.
3207821 I'm not talking about the mech designs. I'm talking about the toys. For example, here's Gosei Great as it appears in the shows.
images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130201175808/powerrangers/images/0/07/Gosei_Great.jpg
Here's the Japanese Gosei Great toy
collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/540273-1/DX_Gosei_Great.jpg
Here's the American Gosei Great Megazord toy
bandai.com/powerrangers/megaforce/img/zb-gosei-great.png
3208660 Probably a mistake in the toy design. Kind of like how the toy Shogun Megazord had a Pink Shogun Zord when it was actually White. (Though the Pink and White Ranger shared it and often the White Ranger would leave to pilot the Falcon Zord).
Wooo!
I have nothing to offer except just what a fun ride all around for this story.
Just, thumbs up all around man. Great job! See you later and glad that you've found a microsoft word program lying around and some free time. (Also, ha, God of Bacon indeed.)
3208697 That was probably to cover up that they hadn't really adopted the Kakurangers as the ninjas they were, not to mention Dairanger not even being adopted at all. With as many differences between the Gosei Greats that there are, I think it's less that there are mistakes and more that it's just an inadequate mold. Besides, there was already a good mold available for use. There was also the move they made of having the components of the Gosei Ground megazord sold separately.
3209702 Well you can blame that last part on the toy companies wanting to make more money. (Greed the bane of Capitalism).
3209727 I think that if they really REALLY (Note the CANTERLOCK) wanted to make money, they'd not spend the money making new molds. After all, Megazords here aren't just kids toys, but they're also collected by various people, and if the first ones to get it say it's a good figure, then more people will probably buy it. The hardcore collectors will still probably buy it, but I'm pretty certain that those who want higher quality and show accuracy would be more willing to spend the extra money on the Japanese versions. If such a pattern goes on, they will stick with the Japanese versions, and the American companies will lose money.
I like your fanon of the population being ridiculously inbred. Explains low intelligence levels as well.
Does that mean every major character (being unique and ntelligent-ish) is some sort of genetic mutant? Or are they all descended from Alicons?
Derpy? Really? I remember her being royal, but I don't remember it being mentioned her being the daughter of Celestia.
And what is the relationship of Sparkler with the Hooves family?
This was a great chapter. The mood whiplashes were starting to get annoying in my opinion.
Reading this and the most recent The Sweetie Chronicles the same day makes me want to see the stories crosssing, with Alt|Sweetie being adopted by Tydal and eating bacon.
3215018
It breaks down like this, in my opinion at this moment (and it could always change):
The Apple Family- They were inbedding before the rest of the country, so now they've actually gone the full circle and it is making them smarter.
Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity- All genetic freaks.
Twilight- Well, if the rumors are true... then she is Luna's daughter...
Pinkie- Much like the Joker, she is hyper sane... we just THINK she is crazy.
3215369
It was established that Derpy is, in fact, Celestia's granddaughter through her mom. I just didn't want to create Derpy's parents yet, so left them off the family tree. This also explains why she isn't as crazy as the rest of Equestria (and, in turn, why Dinky is as smart as she is: her mom is part Alicorn and her dad is a Time Lord).
Sparkler was adopted by the Hooves family. She was another one where I debated putting her on the family tree but decided it would be confusing. The in-story answer is that Sparkler's connection to Doctor Whooves and Derpy is a secret and thus not known to many.
Thus, the Hooves family is broken down like this: The Doctor and Derpy are married and have a child, Dinky. Mary Sue lives with them now and has a complex relationship with the two (she apparently has slept with the Doctor and Derpy and they think she is Dinky's second mom, but Mary Sue didn't realize this). Sparkler is adopted and spends much of the story away at college.
I also hope I made it clear what is going on with Celestia and Luna on the family tree: They are both Tau Sunflare's daughters but were adopted by Tydal and Merida, and thus are seen as both Tydal's sisters and his two daughters. This means that Tydal's house is broken up like this: Tydal, Merida, Coral, Misty, Celestia, Luna and now Giggles with Mr. Snippy as their pet. Tydal has also bought Sweetie Belle, though the sale was never finalized.
Interesting side note: Tydal DOES have a last name that I have never used officially in the fic: Coldwater. His full name/title is Lord Tydal Coldwater-Sunflare, God of Sea and God of War, King of the Mareatine.
This means Celestia and Luna's full names are Princess Celestia Coldwater, Goddess of the Sun and Goddess of the Day, Princess of the Mareatine and Ruler of Equestria; Princess Luna Coldwater, Goddess of the Moon and Goddess of the Night, Princess of the Mareatine and Ruler of Equestria.
Celestia and Luna are 4th in line for the throne of the Mareatine: Merida is first, followed by Coral and Misty (Coral is known as Tydal's Heir to rule while Misty happily would take over as Master of Arms should her father and mother die)
This, was a good closer.
Cliffhangers?! WHY??
Still, very good story!
Ok.. Um, Why not have Tydal just bring the family and subjects, thats solved,
And awwwww no angry Dawn God
3202603 BITCH PLEASE! I killed roughly 1000 star scream clones and went back in time and killed off the predacons while waiting for season 4
3230918
I repeated the war for cybertron 100000000 times while waiting for season 4!
3232508 I made about 200000000 versions of unicron, and trust me the dark energon amount to make one is enough to conisder me a terrorcon, while awating season 4. Also last I checked I wasn't the one gutted by a mute scout.
3233575
You think i' be so stupid as not to imprint a copy of my consciousness onto your information highway?
Also, i think we can both agree it's a looooooooong fucking wait for season 4.
Lord Megatron out.
I really cannot recall the last fic i laughed so hard at.
3597994
The performances of the song are great. The song itself is pointless and adds nothing to the story.
"Lookie!" Giggles exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention to her. The filly was laughing in utter delight as she swished her tail... her long, black-scaled tail with a small yet sharp fan blade at the end. "Like dada!"
Tydal scooped her up and kissed zebra-turned-capricorn filly's nose. "That's right, my little princess; like dada."
So cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I might be reading a bit too much into this, but...isn't the story supposed to be complete? Yet it still is marked as incomplete.
Does the story merely take a backburner until the Crisis of Infinite Twilights is over? Or is there a nefarious plan at work, turning all complete stories incomplete again?

Trust me, this new season is giving me SO much fodder for when the God Squad returns. For example, we are going to get this exchange:
Tydal stared at his sisters/daughters. "You were kidnapped... by a tree."
"It wasn't like that," Celestia complained.
"Oh please, tell me something to make this not utterly pathetic."
"It was a magic tree!" Luna exclaimed.
"..." the sea god turned to Discord. "Brother?"
"Yes?"
"You have thirty minutes to torture them without any reprisal on my part."
"WHAT?!?" the princesses screamed as Discord began to cackle.
"Kidnapped by a bloody tree," Tydal grumbled.
