“And you are sure she’ll be ok, Nurse Braveheart?” Spike asked the medical pony.
The white mare rolled her eyes. “As well as she can be with 30 stitches in her stomach. Why exactly did Princess Twilight try to gut herself?”
“She was looking for a library book,” Spike said.
“…so I should just mark that down to normal Twilight Sparkle-related injures.”
“That would be wise. “ Spike waved goodbye to the nurse and hurried out the door. He looked about Ponyville as he walked back to the treehouse, happy in the knowledge that, at the very least, Twilight would be receiving the medical attention she needed. Not the psychological attention she needed, but sometimes dragons couldn't get what they wanted. The little drake couldn't help but smile as he realized that with Twilight in the hospital, Rollypolly having a sleepover at Dinky's house, and Owlicious working at the Happy Beaver (it was some sort of club... Spike didn't know what Owlicious did there but he always came home with a stack of sticky dollar bills) he had the library to himself.
The purple dragon rubbed his clawed hands together and cackled in delight. He was free... free to do whatever he wanted! To give into his naughtiest, most primal urges...
~An Hour Later...~
"Another scone, Spyro?" Spike asked. He was dressed in a dapper suit with a green pocket square just peaking out.
"Thank you, William." The large purple dragon accepted the treat, sipping his tea between bites. "I must say, old bean, it is quite nice of you to host our bookclub."
"Indeed," Charmander said, adjusting his spectacles.
William T. Dragon (Spike to his friends), gripped the ends of his smoking jacket and smiled. "But of course, gentlemen... I aim to provide for my friends and brethern."
"And you do well at both," Spyro stated. "Now then, shall we discuss chapter 12?"
"We shall," Shendu said, the massive dragon delicately sipping his tea. "I found my loathing of the main character only grew as she chose to commit herself to a life of hedonistic freedom rather than accept the vital role she played in racing her daughter."
"I disagree," Drogo the Black said, tibbling on a tea biscuit. "It was Marigold's turn to experience life and allow her husband to stay at home with their child. If she had shown some sembelnce of selfishness previously I would agree with you but for the first 12 years of marriage she sacrificed her own happiness for that of her family's. It is her time to try and find some enjoyment. It is her husband who is being selfish, refusing to scale back his own interests in the name of the family." He shook his head. "Men... am I right?"
Spike shrugged. "Well, I-"
"I AM BACK TO RETRIEVE BAG FOR CARRYING BOOKS!" Rollypolly announced, only to stop short as he looked at the book club. The dragons looked right back at the baby dalek. "NERDS!"
And with that, Rollypolly rolled away.
The God Squad: Equestria
Episode 28: WOLVES! Part 3
"So, any suggestions?" Luna asked, take a step away from the snarling candy werewolves.
Madame Pinkie nodded. "What if someone made a dip that was pizza sauce and toppings, then made the pizza dough into dipping bread sticks?"
"I meant about the situation we are currently in!"
"Oh... then no, I do not have an idea," Pinkie admited.
Celestia looked about rapidly, considering her surroundings. Tydal had taken point, snarling right back at the candy werewolves, his teeth bared as he pawed at the ground with his hoof. Cadence and Shining, for their parts, sniffed the air and lowered their heads, their hackles rising as they prepared to attack. The capricorn and the wolves glared at each other, fighting for dominance. The solar princess put all of her training under the war god to use, studying the terrian and all her options.
"Father, can you buy us a few minutes?" Celestia asked, the seeds of a plan begining to germinate.
"I believe so."
"Avoid getting bit!" Pinkie called out.
"Oh, I know how to avoid that." Tydal tensed, body trembling slightly. "You might want to move back!" The next instant he exploded in orangish white energy, the plume of fiery power rocketing into the sky and illuminating half of Ponyville. Even the wolves looked up in surprise as the column of raw energy shot into the sky, pushing the clouds apart and outshining the stars. Just as soon as it had begun the energy faded, revealing the monster of swirling water and black stone.
"Darkwater," Luna whispered, staring at her adopted father's 10% form.
The Cadence wolf snarled and leapt at Tydal with her mouth opened wide, only to yelp as she ended up with a mouth full of salt water. The sea god looked at her, her jaw clamped around his right foreleg, lightning crackling in his eyes. Luna watched, amazed, as the venomous saliva of the candy werewolf mixed with Tydal's watering form... and was instantly expelled.
"You thought you could curse me, little whore?" The Cadence wolf yelped as she was sent flying back, the beast of rock and water trotting towards her and the Shining wolf. "You and your ignorant, pathetic little mate think you are rivals to me? I am the storm... I am the monsoon!" Overhead thunder began to rumble. "Allow me to show you the error of your ways."
"What... is that?" Pinkie asked in shock as Tydal/Darkwater charged forward and violently stuck the Shining wolf in the side with his stone skull.
"You know how I was once Nightmare Moon?" Luna said. "That is Tydal playing a similar role. It is 10% form... Darkwater Abyss, the black king of the sea. As of his base emotions... his desires, his rage, is fears and regrets... all are brought to the surface."
Darkwater/Tydal reared back and let out a savage roar that shook several buildings.
"Oh, so you guys have 10% forms too?" Pinkie asked happily.
"...what do you mean, 'too'?" Luna asked, Celestia still focused on plotting her trap.
"Oh, I have one!" Pinkie said. Before Luna could even say a word Pinkie began to spin around until she'd transformed into a white pegasus with blonde hair. "SURPRISE!"
"...what?" Luna said.
"What?" Darkwater said.
"Woof?" the Cadence wolf said.
"What?" Pinkie said, instantly reverting to normal.
"I've got it!" Celestia exclaimed. "Father, lead them into Sugarcube Corner."
Tydal/Darkwater growled. "Why? I can kill them with ease-"
"De...de...denied!" the Shining wolf howled.
Tydal instantly reverted to his 1% form, a stunned look on his face. "...even as a wolf... you... you... I hate you! I hate you!" He stomped his hooves like a toddler and pouted.
"Tydal!" Celestia shouted.
"I've got this!" Luna said, grabbing a magic marker and drawing a crude lollypop on her butt. "Here wolfie wolfie wolfie!" she teased, twerking her behind at them. "I know you want it... I know you want it... but I'm a good girl!"
"Wow," Tydal said.
"Its hypnotic..." Madame Pinkie whispered, head nodding in time with Luna's bouncing buns. "Like a lava lamp."
"Oh these blurred lines!" Luna sang, tounge lulling out. The two werewolves howled and gave chase, Luna running into the bakery as fast as she could. "What, not a fan of that song?" The night Princess threw the door of the bakery open. She stopped, however, upon seeing it rather full. "What are all of you-"
"Oh, we're opened late now," Mr. Cake said. "Have to compete with Taco Bell, right?"
"Taco Bell is the stallion that runs the burrito shop across the street," Pinkie supplied. "Oh, and the candy werewolves are still behind us!"
The patrons screamed as the Cadence and Shining wolves burst in, their eyes instantly drawn to all the candy and sweets that were laid out before them. The two leapt at one of the cakes on display, tearing into it like a werewolf into a cake (wow, the simile really doesn't work here, does it?). Celestia merely stepped into the bakery and watched as their cursed friends munched on the sugary treat.
Then... Celestia smiled.
"Oh Mrs. Cake... those wolves don't have any money to pay for the cake they just ate."
"Dash and dinners?" the blue mare asked. She looked up and nodded to Pound and Pumpkin, who were sitting in the rafters; the twins giggles and released the rope they were holding, sending the Cake Family's Bread Cage right down on Shining and Cadence.
"And they are contained!" Celestia declared. "Everypony and every curse knows that candy werewolves can't escape cages made of bread."
"...what the hell are you on?" Tydal complained. "Its-MMMPFFF!" Luna clamped her hooves onto her father's mouth silencing him. Tydal blinked before the gleam of understanding filled his eyes. "I meant yes... yes, it is known to all!"
"I've always said that myself," Mrs. Cake stated.
The Shining and Cadence wolves slumped their shoulders and whimpered, staring at their doughy prison.
~An Hour Later...~
"I suppose it was too much to hope for that we wouldn't have to play dressup on this adventure." Princess Celestia was wearing a spagetti strap top, tight jeans, sensible yet fashionable shoes, and had several stakes, a bottle of her mother's tears, and some aluminum-edged daggers strapped to her sides. "I look that unicorn that was in Twilight's class back during her student days... Sunny Summers? I think that was her name."
"Oh come now sister," Luna said, adjusting the red hood that she wore over her head, "we are about to engage in a dangerous situation and a little bit of humor and good fun will help ease the burden." Her horn flared and she pulled out a massive claymore. "Now, does it have to be an aluminum bullet or can I just chop teh werewolf up into little pieces?"
Tydal adjusted the the wide brim hat he wore, a long faux-leather duster covering up all but the very end of his tail. On his back was a magic-powered automatic crossbow. "I personally find the mere fact we get to hunt down a werewolf to be a delight!"
"I do too!" Madame Pinkie said. She'd ditched her 'fortune-teller gypsy' outfit and donned her 'warrior gypsy princess' costume, which consisted of a lace bare-shoulder top, tight black pants, and sleek boots. "Now then, Princess Cadence was bit while trotting through the northern forests... specificy the Evil Forrest."
"Why is it called the Evil Forest?" Tydal asked.
Celestia shrugged. "It was named after its discoverer, Evil Forest. He was... well, not a bad pony but certainly not good."
"Sometimes I forget everything in this kingdom is ridiculous," Tydal muttered.
Luna cleared her throat, forcing the others to pay attention. "Now then... the only way to break the curse is find the candy werewolf that bit Cadence and punch it in the flank while calling it insulting names. The book is very specific about that. Doing so will break the curse and free Cadence and any pony she's bitten."
"We don't have much time though," Pinkie reminded them. "If we don't de-curse Cadence before she transforms two more times she'll be cursed for as long as you lose a friend after breaking their trust."
Luna frowned. "And how long is-"
"FOREVER!" Pinkie shouted right in her face.
"...thank you for that."
"I have actually thought this through and come up with a brilliant idea," Celestia said. "Luna, and hear me out very carefully... I need you to make the night... last for a touch longer."
Luna stared at her sister, one eyebrow raised. "I am suddenly having flashbacks to me being punted onto the moon."
"This time we are in total agreement," Celestia said, seeking to soothe her sister's fears. "If you keep the moon up Cadence won't transform back and that means we have extra time to find the candy werewolf that bit her."
"...even though I still think this is a trick to boot me back up there... I will do it."
"She tries it and I will punt her up there with you,” Tydal said, earning a hug from the moon goddess. “Only one problem remains," Tydal said, pointing to the bread cage. Celestia had paid for the cake and purchased the cage from the Cakes. "What do we do with...stop that!" Tydal remain up to the cage and glared at the two wolves who were in a very… compromising position. Tydal grabbed a squirt bottle and began to spray them. "Shining Armor, demount her now!"
The brute merely stared at him before getting back to business.
Tydal snarled, creating a bubble of icy water and drenching the two, causing Cadence and Shining to howl in protest. "I swear, if you do not stop going at it like... well, like wolves in heat... I will fix you both!"
"No need for that, Lord Tydal!" Pinkie said happily, bouncing over to him. "I already have called the perfect ponies to babysit your wolves." She stepped to the side. “Tada!”
Luna, Celestia, and Tydal looked down at the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who were all grins, then back at Pinkie; the three immortals merely stared at the pink mare.
“Trust me… I know they can handle it!”
~Literally 28 Seconds Later...~
"That's why you don't try to be Cutie Mark Wolf Tamers!" Luna exclaimed, looking down at the three wolf pups that were now in their own bread cage.
Wolfaloo, Wolfsbloom, and Wolfie Belle merely looked at their now hairy but still blank flanks and let out whimpering howls.
"Ok, I have a better idea!" Pinkie exclaimed happily.
~Another 10 Minutes Later...~
"Alright, we are all set... let's teleport," Luna said, charging her horn. Celestia joined her, Tydal and Pinkie standing next to them as the magic began to crackle and snap (but it did not pop).
"We'll be back soon!" Celestia called out just as they disappeared.
The now five werewolves looked at their babysitter, who merely stared them right back down. "I think the first thing we will do is listen to Angel Bunny's poetry!" Fluttershy said happily.
The wolves whimpered as Angel hopped over and pulled out a pair of reading glasses.
Sometimes chapters take a long time for me to write. I have problems figuring out what to do next, or I know where I need to go but not how to get there, or I can't decide what joke is better.
And sometimes, like this chapter, i can just crack out chapters like mad. Which is great, because it causes me to come up with jokes I didn't even consider... like the Cutie Mark Crusaders getting bit and turned in less than 30 seconds.
No Blue Eyes White Dragon & Red Eyes Black Dragon in the cold opening?
For shame, defender2222.
*grabs rolled up newspaper*
...spike knows how to get into contact with shendu and spyro?.....EPIC
*returns from defender2222's asylum cell*
With that done, I will say that this chapter was so non-sensical, stupidly silly, and absolutely ridiculous that my brain has committed seppuku as a result of madness overdose.
By the way, Billy Mays says hi.
4741562
They had a wedding that night and thus were unavailable.
4741627
That's nice. Whose wedding was it?
WHeres Shen Long? Hes is not menber of The Book Club? And whos is Drogo the Black?
4742182
I considered him but I found it funnier that Shendu was there and there were too many Shens if I included Long.
it makes sense now pinkie is the mother of faust who is the mother of the god squad - shining armor
I'm loving the idea of Spike with a dragon buddy book club.
Shining Armor doesn't give any fucks. Other than the ones he administers to his wife, that is, it's pretty clear he gives those.
Pinkie's 10% form is Surprise? That makes an acceptable amount of sense.
4741620 Easily, magic communication fire, ya know.
4742225 You say Dragon Zord, and I have to ask you to specify which one. I'm fairly certain you mean Dragon Caesar, but there are other dragons, like Dragon Origami and Gosei Dragon. As for why they couldn't make it to the meeting, I think Ridley was still en route there (space is HUGE), and Dragon Caesar is a little bit too big to get through the doors. Something I'd like to know is why WizarDragon couldn't make it to the book club meeting.
img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121123151531/kamenrider/images/2/2b/Winger_WizarDragon.jpg
I got the Van Helsing reference but doesnt he eventually-
Oh. I see where this is going.
4742225 The Dragonzord was busy fighting Rita's monsters, and Ridley thought it would be more fun to mess with Samus.
Well Twilight is certainly slipping off the deep end but I did enjoy the Dragon Book Club. The Candy Werewolf is certainly proving to be an excellent idea, how many more shall be infected before the original is
destroyedpunched and insulted.Also minor typo, "Not the pschological attention", should be psychological.
Good
4742156
Optimus Prime and Megatron's. Turns out the entire war is a result of them being unable to admit their sexual attraction for each other. They got married and started a bed and breakfast.
(And yes, I actually did a webcomic about that very premise)
4735141 thanks, I took a bit too much pleasure in that one.
4742782 link to that webcomic? That sounds pretty funny ironically.
Did Angel study Vogon style poetry by chance?
*stares at chapter* I don't even, I don,t even. On the bright side, return of 10%! Reminds me of Frieza what with the transformations and he this isn't my full power, but when. You think about it, it makes a surprising amount of sense, considering that they control forces of nature or in the case of the Royal Sisters, celestial objects, it makes sense that they can't go around with their full power on display all the time lest the world explode from not being ale to handle the raw power being emitted by them. That, and it's a bit hard for Cleestia and Ouna to be thought of as benevolent rulers if they look like Nightmare Moon and Cororna Sunflare or whatever she's called. I may be wrong, but wasn't the original God Squad about Luna wanting to literally hoof punch Chrysalis in the flank for nearly ruining Cadence and Shining's wedding? Wow it has evolved, and despite may recurring gags, it's still funny, hats off defender, seriously, hats off.
4744097
Yes, that was the original point. Things kinda took a left turn. And yes, it makes sense that the gods have so much power they are forced to hide much of it, lest they cause the planet to explode. Twilight's final battle with Tirek showed us a hint of this. Needless to say, when I get to those events we will get more of Twilight with power, including the reveal of the Princess of Friendship and the Goddess of the Stars 10% form.
4743344
The Set Up for the Comic (in my current webcomic)
The Actual Comic
4744592 Thanks. that's pretty funny.
MY god, Dragon book club, that is amazing.
So I take it Bahamut was to busy to make it?.
Also the current quest is to track down a werewolf and hoofpunch it in the flank right? Just like the original quest to find Chrysalis and do the exact same thing? I will laugh so hard if it turns out that the werewolf that bit Cadence turns out to be Chrysalis.
4744592
By left turn I think you mean the story went completely psycho to the point where Discord would be proud of the chaos unleashed. In a good way mind you, Tirek already had trouble with Twilight powered up by the one percent magic of the other 3 princesses even if he had absorbed an inordinate amount of magic, so 10 percent? I think that will make the already awesome DBZ style duel 20% cooler. BTW, how strong was Tirek by the time had absorbed all the magic in Equestria and had grown absolutely gigantic? 50% power maybe? My guess for why he absorbed magic is that once he recovers his strength he will slowly become gigantic, he just absorbed all the magic so it would happen a lot faster. BTW, would Tydal theoretically be able to transfer his magic to Twilight or is it incompatible due to him being a Capricorn of awesomeness and Twilight an Alicorn of awesomeness?
4744770
Yes, Tydal would be able to give Twilight is magic. It won't happen though, as I have a different plan for what Chrysalis and Tydal did during that battle, but all gods can transfer their power to other gods.
4744823
Ah, thanks for the clarification. My current guess is that they will be trying to make sure Tirek doesn't go after their people next. I'm probably wrong though.
Shendu, at a book club being civil? Awesome. Is the reason his son Drago wasn't there because he is a rebelling teen that thinks books are lame?
4744878
pretty much
Ahahahahaha she actually went through with it hahahaha..... ahh heh im a terrible person
Is Angel Bunny poetry like Volgon poetry?
4747664 Cool Runnings, it's a great movie.
I have so meny questions, So meny... I can't deside what to ask but... and the whole family dynamic they all have is quite awesome, if not very very confusing at times.
Okay.. So here it goes... Ok, still too meny questions, but mainly, Is there a way people can help to expand the GOD Squad universe? Because it is quite a fun concept. I'm having a hard time trying to put all this onto words.
I hope I'm not offending anyone, It's just... the ideas presented here are... In a word, Awesome!
Also... Pinkie's 10% form is Surprise, Huh... She's a Demi or Misc...., (Or not...*Sigh*)
Okay... now it's established that 100% Gods/Goddesses causes Total Event Colapse, aka bah-bye existence right?
Still so meny questions, but I'll leave it at that, because Spoilers... Are Boring..
4791964
Correct about 100%.
The idea is that the gods (Celestia, Luna, Tydal, Chrysalis, Cadence, Shining {though he is just coming into his powers and hasn't reached close to their power levels yet... same with Twilight} and Discord) hold so much power that they much only tap into a fraction of it.
1% is what we see normally... immortal beings that are amazing magic users. 10% is Nightmare Moon level... they have more power but it also removes what filters they have on their emotions, rendering them prone to anger, rage, lust, so on. 17% is Discord... same as 10% but 7% cooler (come on, its Discord... he would never do an even number!)
Around 40 to 50% is their titan forms. We've so far only seen Tydal's titan form but all of them have one.
80% would be what I call the World Breaker forms. These are Galactus-sized forms and, due to the raw power and size, only another god would get one's attention while in this form.
100% isn't just the end of the world... it would mean, potentially, the end of all life on the planet.
What, no Temeraire? From His Majesty's Dragon?
Awwww.
danielgovar.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/temeraire_color_sm.jpg
Yay.
4793558 you just gave me an idea for another fic featuring all of them minus Shining and Twilight against my villain OC all against each other in full power form but in space away from Equestria as to they don't kill anyone.

Which resulted in him getting yet another barrage of missiles to the face, and charged beams.
Well, the Crusaders didn't set anything on fire or get covered in sap, so it isn't as bad as it could have been? And nice re-use of the dine and dash gag!
We're gonna get a bait and switch, aren't we?
Called it.
Spike, Spyro, AND Charmander? AWESOME!
AWESOME! ER!
Now THAT is a Badass Boast.
This make so much sense it scares me.
Poor Darkwater.
Dash and diners, not dinners.
Celestia, you are a clever pony.
THE, not teh.
SpecificALLy, and Forest has one 1.
I like this, it shows off Celestia's smarts, the fact that Luna would rather avoid getting sent to the moon again, and Celestia assuring her that won't happen. I know Nightmare Moon was like an alicorn temper tantrum in this universe and her 1000 years banishment was like a time out, but still.
Daaw.
This makes it clear that the only fucks Shining gives are the ones he's giving to his wife right now.
That's a bad idea.
See?
Oh boy.
4793558
That's really scary when you think of it, it only took Discord 17% of his power to turn Equestria upside down the first time, so, how powerful would be be in Titan of World Breaker form? Other than absurdly so.
