Short Hand: A New Generation 2

Old Man Shepherd had taken Sunny and her friends to an ancient cavern, far from Maretime Bay.

Hitch: "Uh huh... There a reason we're out here?"

Izzy: "Is it a good reason? Like a secret candy stash? Ugh, two thousand year old candy! Gross!"

Shepherd: "Hang on... I know it was around here somewhere... Aha." He hits a control and a secret passageway slowly opens "There we go."

Sunny: "Oh wow! A secret door?!"

Hitch: "What makes you think anything will have survived for two thousand years?"

Shepherd: "Don't know. Cross your fingers."

Hitch: "My what?"

Shepherd: "It's a human phrase. Means 'shut up so I can think.'"

Hitch: "You don't have to be so rude!"

Izzy: "Maybe he does! Maybe it's human to be rude!"

Sunny: "Guys, come on. Let's not get offended by my... Distant ancestor?"

Shepherd: "Just call me Grampa. We don't have time to go back through your entire family tree."

Izzy: "Okay Grampa DILF!"

Hitch: "DILF? What does that mean?"

Izzy: "Dad I'd Like to Fu-"

Sunny: "IZZY!"

Later, when Sprout has convened his mecha and war machines, he sees Old Man Shepherd approaching.

Sprout: "Hahaha! What's this? The old geezer ape is here with the troublemakers? What can you possibly do to stop me?"

Shepherd: Produces a bazooka, and fires it.

KABOOM!

Sprout's mecha is disabled. He scowls at Shepherd.

Sprout: "You just used up your only weapon!"

Shepherd: "Wrong again, punk."

A gigantic tank covered in faded pink paint rumbles up from behind him. It fires multiple cannon blasts, disabling the rest of Sprout's army.

Sunny: "Good shooting, Hitch!"

Hitch: At the controls, grinning "... I have an erection right now."

Izzy: brightly "I'm aware!"

Hitch: "GAH!"

Outside...

Shepherd: "Now..." He walks up to Sprout, and picks him up by his chest fur "Would you like to continue your racist bullshit, or would you like to sit down and talk like civilized ponies? Ten seconds. Choose one."

Sprout: "SIT DOWN AND TALK! SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

Shepherd: "Huh. Too bad."

The Pies build to last. Especially when Pinkie gets a twitch that tells her the party tank will be needed in a few generations/centuries/millennia. (Circle whichever is appropriate.)

Also, definitely an interesting take on Izzy. Not sure how I feel about that one, but I suppose "Watch us shake our unicorn butts" serves as setup for this.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 good job on this
I literally lost it with the erection part.

Hitch: At the controls, grinning "... I have an erection right now."

Yeah, firing the main gun of a tank can have that effect.

Market it as a treatment for ED?

Shepherd: "Why doesn't anyone decide to continue? Aren't I allowed to have any fun?!?"

[Spiritus Arcane]

I love the idea of Izzy as the horny one of the group.

[RoboRed]

Fkn Izzy, man.

She is literally the horny one... also a unicorn.

Thinking about Sprout, it looks like he invented lies purely for the adoration and attention of his community. I feel like Pipp could just take him under her wing and teach him to be an influencer instead.

Yes, but he can recover after he's neutralized as a threat and knows the consequences for trying anything...

[Even Evil Has Standards]

I wonder how he would handle Phyllis.
