Scar eyed the door knob with a growing feeling of annoyance, no matter how hard he tried, Scar was simply unable to turn it. Another knock could be heard from the other side, causing Scar to mumble a series of curses under his breath. Biting it wouldn't work, the pony teeth were too flat to purchase in the polished surface of the knob. He pondered on the problem, but then a solution came into his mind.
Spike came out of the kitchen in time to see Scar turn around, "What are you doing?"
"Can't grab silly knob, so Scar is going to kick in door instead." he replied as he took aim.
"Dude, Twilight would be furious! Let me get it for you." Spike offered hastily.
Scar looked at the door for a moment before pushing a lock of his tangled mane from his sight, "Spike would? Thanks..."
"No problem, big guy!" Spike walked past him, "Nice mane, by the way." he chuckled as he saw Scar struggle with his unkempt hair.
He gave a sigh, "It is going upstairs to take care of hair..." he headed up the stairs and towards the bathroom, "Silly knobs..." he muttered a final time, "How do ponies grab anything?!"
Spike suppressed a small laugh as he watched Scar leave, the pony version of the gnoll was simply too funny to watch. There was another knock at the door, and a voice could be heard outside, "Helloooo? Anypony home?" there was a short pause, "Are you sure this is the place?"
"It says so on the note..." replied another voice.
"Maybe they're out?" a third voice joined.
"Does it really say 'tree'?" a fourth voice asked.
Spike groaned, he had never liked visitors this early in the morning, "I'm coming!"
The little dragon went to the door, opened it... and found himself at a complete loss for what he saw.

"You know..." Purple Haze said over her cup of cereals, "I feel kinda bad for just pushing myself onto him like that... Did you know he spent all of his bits on that potion?"
"He did? Oh dear..." Twilight replied.
Purple Haze nodded sadly, "I told him he didn't need to be a pony for us to be together, and that he should only buy another if he really wanted to. Right now, I'm just happy we can be together... no matter how."
"That's nice..." Twilight smiled, "Though you could give me a warning if you plan on repeating it."
Purple Haze laughed, "Sorry, I guess it was just the heat of the moment... did you know though that gnolls can..."
They were interrupted in their conversation as Spike returned to the kitchen with a slightly worried look, "Uhm... Purple Haze? You may wanna see this..."
Purple Haze raised an eyebrow and followed him into the main room of the library. What she saw there only made her eyebrow rise up further, "What the..."
The whole space of the main room was packed with pony guards, all of them chatting wildly among one another. She did a quick count, there were at least twenty of them. For a moment, Purple Haze just stared at the collection with surprise. Then, she made out Berryshakes standing among them, "Lieutenant Berryshakes..." she called out to the unicorn, "What in all of Equestria is this supposed to be?"
At her words, the room grew silent and all guards turned to look at her.
Berryshakes saluted with a big smile, "Lieutenant Berryshakes reporting for duty, Marshall. We're the applicants for your new squad!"
"New squad?" Purple Haze gave her a confused look, "What the hay are you talking about?"
Berryshakes simply handed her a scroll with a big smile, Luna's seal a clear sign of its importance. As Purple Haze looked over it though, she couldn't believe what she was reading. Luna was setting her up with her own squad, and the guards gathered inside the library were the applicants for the new squad.
Purple Haze gave a groan, "Sure... tell me about it last, that makes sense... How am I even expected to make my pick without knowing even half of them... I swear, I..." her words were cut off as an angry shout could be heard from above, the guards present looking up in confusion.
"No! No! No! Wasn't supposed to be like that!"
"Scar?" Purple Haze called out, "What happened?" she threw the scroll away and rushed upstairs.
When she arrived at the bathroom, she found a devastated gnoll inside.
---
Unknown to him, the potion had been intended for ponies, not for a being as heavy and big as him. The result of this change in variables had just shown itself. The gnoll stared at his image in rage, "Potion was supposed to last longer!" he shouted and struck a fist into the wall next to the mirror, making the wood crack.
"Scar wanted to be pony for longer!" he struck the wood again, making splinters fly, "Wanted to be with Purple Haze longer..." he whispered as he hung his head in defeat.
"Scar..." he felt Purple Haze hold his head softly, her presence calming him, "You don't need to be a pony for us to be together..."
"It knows... it knows..." he replied gravely, "But it wanted to see world from pony eyes." a soft laugh escaped him, "Also wanted to have more fun with Purple Haze..."
"Aha! So that's how it is?" she laughed, "Don't you worry, we can still snuggle..."
The gnoll huffed, "Is nice too..." a grin spread his lips, "Though Scar will probably miss..."
"Don't sit on those books! Hey! Watch where you're going!" Twilight's voice could be heard from downstairs, a clear frantic tone to her voice.
Scar picked up his head, "What's going on downstairs? It smells many guard ponies..."
Purple Haze sighed, "No kidding, there's at least twenty of them down there... I don't even know what the princess is thinking some times... It's way too early for this kind of stuff."
"Purple Haze wants them to leave?" Scar asked.
Purple Haze chuckled, "Until I get out of this bathrobe at least... yeah. I swear, they don't even... What are you doing?"
The gnoll stood up from his position, a grim look on his face as he started to head for the door.
"Scar? Where are you going?"
He turned around, "Purple Haze waits here, gets changed and finishes breakfast."
She tilted her head, "What?"
His brow furrowed, "Scar has little patience today, so Scar is going to get Tag and throw ponies out. Purple Haze and Scar deserve some peace too..."
"Don't step on the books!" Twilight could be heard shouting below.
The gnoll's brow furrowed even more, a soft grumble escaping his throat, "Steps on books?" he turned around and headed for the door, "Scar will teach ponies some manners!" he closed the door softly behind him, "Purple Haze can enjoy morning, Scar won't take long."
Purple Haze stood in the bathroom, slightly at a loss in view of the recent events. She eyed herself in the mirror, "I could use another shower... I guess?"
Scar is beyond awesome.
He is so far beyond it he makes Rainbow Dash look like the most boring thing in Equestria.
Hey!!!
........shit, time to run!!
Nobody steps in Scar's books... and doesn't get smacked!
2543367
Run bro! run for your life!
what did I do twilight? Twilight?
noooo, pony scar is best pony oh well, scar is best anything
awww i wanted more pony gnoll....atleast we still have normal gnoll
Poor Scar! Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the straps of the straight jacket. :(
On the other hand, what with all the pony volunteers, Scar can have another game of "Tag". The last few recruits left standing get to be in the squad.
And I suspect the squad's going to see plenty of action. We haven't seen what's behind the recent movements of the rats. Why are they in Equestria, why do they want to kill the Bearers of the Elements? All questions Celestia MUST have answers to, and it's looking like Scar and Haze are just the people needed to beat those answers out of the rats.
One does not simply...

Step on Scar's books and get away with it.
Well, if you'll excuse me I'm going into my Dalek's ship. Adios, stupid guards!
Dalek: Initiate short-range teleportation!
And thus the selection process for Purple Haze's Squad begun. Any guardsman who was able to Keep conscious after the lesson on manners was accepted into the squad.
2543395 I'm trying, but legs vs wings!!!
Even when she's on the ground, it's still two legs vs four!!
2543792
Just grab one of her wings! OR something!
im dealing with a unicorn right now!
*hiding under the bed*
Where are you!
Help me...
Ha, My HEV suit and my Weighted companion crowbar can totally take Scar! I'm practically a god!
"What did little orange pony say to it!"
Oh, hey Scar... You didn't hear what I said, right? Hey, back off now. No harm meant. Just some honest bragging. Hey, put down the hammer. Can't we just talk this ou-
*BAM*
Warning: Major Blunt Force Trauma Detected. Internal Bleeding Detected. Compensating.

2543872 Hold on, I got an idea....I just hope it works....

*Uses sonic screwdriver*
Where do you think your going then, eh?
Wait, I'm unconscious right? How did I do that?
2543924
:
* crawls from under the bed*
I think it worked....
OHHH CRAP NOT FOR TWILIGHT!!!
wait can't they still have sex even if scar is not a pony?
2544013
She can't take the knot
2544085 what knot?
2544160
Really?
...really?
Random Guard: Why the hay did that thing attack us?!
Scar: Ponies sit on books! Scar teach respect!
2544246 well some people are a bit but yes
2544085 Eh... I think she could probably take it with enough practice. A few Kegel exersizes would do wonders.
Man I can't wait for the next Chapter
2547918 Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your support
2543937 Where I'm GOING, is retreating to hide in an extraterrestrial time-space traveling owned by small alien octopi-of which are loyal to me due to an incident with a lightning storm and a washing machine-in order to hide from the wrath of an aggressive and very simple-minded gnoll as it attacks several guard ponies for stepping over his personal collection of paper-and-ink-based reading material. Is that a sufficient explanation?
2548314
No. Because I just reversed your teleportation beam. Have fun with the gnoll, while I hide in my newly upgraded active camo suit!
2548505 Ha! You think I am defenseless? Well, after that incident I had going back to the 60s, I took precautions. BEHOLD, MY COLLECTION OF PSYCHIC POLLEN FROM THE CANDLE MEADOWS OF KARASS DON SALVA! If that gnoll comes within my throwing range, I'll hit him with a water balloon FULL of it! He'll be left unconscious long enough for me to make a daring escape!
2548652
*munch munch*
*munch*
...
*munch*
Oh... Was that yours? Sorry, I got kind of hungry. I found that I could eat pollen and whatnot after making a few experimental adjustments to my body. It's quite tasty actually
2548741 WHAT HAVE I DONE TO YOU TO DESERVE BEING LEFT FOR DEAD? All I wanted was to escape the wrath of a gnoll via the usage of my very loyal Dalek servants, and you just RUIN EVERYTHING I had in mind! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET PSYCHIC POLLEN WITHOUT SUCCUMBING TO IT? I just wanted to stay safe and watch as a gnoll beats up guard ponies, is that too much to ask?
2548741 And.. what DOES Psychic Pollen taste like?
2548789
Sort of like a cup of memetic orgasm, minus the orgasm itself.
Also, you might want to look behind you. I think I see a gnoll heading our way. Engaging active camo.
See ya later, shitlord.
P.S. I hate Daleks. Almost as much as weeping angels. Is that a pegasus statue?
2548934>>2548789 What's going on here? I'm trying to take a nap! -.-

2549251 I love it!
Maybe next time Purple Haze can take the potion.
2549287
Everything for a fellow brony
2549411
I'm honored
What can gnolls do?
2543649 Why aren't you *EXTERMINATE!* -ing everything?
2543649 and how can you SWIM its not possible!
