This story is a sequel to The God Squad
After their breakup in Season 1, the members of the God Squad find themselves at their lowest points. Shining and Cadence are divorced, Celestia and Luna aren't speaking, and Tydal is in self-imposed exile.
But when they, along with Chrysalis, are transported halfway around the globe, they find their good names have been tarnished and everypony believes them dead. The five immortals (and one unicorn stallion with more sanity than the five gods put together) must find a way back home and reclaim what is rightfully theirs.
Of course, with pirates, international thieves, communists, flying reindeer, zebra warriors, and door-to-door salesponies all standing in their way, the trip back home will not be easy.
The sequel to the wildly popular fic The God Squad, Season 2 proves that if you keep paying attention to this story the author will never stop milking it.
And so it begins.
So, everyone was all afraid that I was going to go dark and dramatic and that this story was going to no be a humorous story anymore.
To that I say THAT IS WHY I WRITE FAITH AND DOUBT!
*clears throat*
So, about this chapter... I really wanted to play on the idea that the Squad is better together than apart. Together, Celestia is a tactical genius, Luna is a boisterous leader, Shining is sane, Cadence is a wild card (and yes, hungry for sex) and Tydal is a badass OC. Apart, Celestia is clingy, Luna is a drunk, Shining is a hipster, Cadence is a lazy bloated wreck and Tydal is a wimpy pacifist.
A couple of thoughts:
-I love the fact that while Twilight knows what 'gay' is, when it comes to Fluttershy she just doesn't have a clue.
-Luna is now sleeping with Iron Will. This what... the 5th strange pairing I've created?
-This season will see Cadence move away from having PTSD and instead focus on the idea that she acts the way she does because she is an addict. First she was addicted to spreading love and joy... then, after the failed wedding, she became addicted to sex. Now she has traded that addiction for an addiction to food. It makes her a bit less sad.
-Shining takes on another persona... we've had goth Shining and now Hipster Shining.

awesome
Why is Chrysalis there?
BECAUSE.
And here i thought today was going to suck, Bring on the lulz!
New story! Hee hee!
It begins!!
A Q Continuum reference?
Is this sort of like when Picard was brought before the Q Continuum for judgement of mankind? I ask because that is part of the image that is now in my mind from the end of the chapter.
How come no one noticed the Transformers Animated reference with the "Punch of Kill Everything"?
Awesome. Update soon!
Infinite yays
Ooh! Asylum of the Dalkes reference! Nice one. By the by, when Meridia was talking to Tydal about killing stuff, you left out the "r" in anger. Just thought you should know.
Considering how much I didn't like the ending of the previous fic, I'm surprised I gave this fic a like and a fav, but I guess I'm a glutton for punishment and comedy.

That being said, this a great start, Shining regressed back into goth mode, Spike is the dirty captain of the guard, Cadence is Jabba the Hutt, Celestia is still a bitch, Luna is a drunk, Chrysalis is normal "for her" and Tydal is a Canadian.

Beatnik Shining, not Hipster Shining. People always get that wrong.
And, uh, I'll admit, I like 'wimpy pacifist' Tydal better than Original Recipe Tydal.
Err.... Aren´t ponies usually naked, even the fashionista ones?
BLAARRRRGHHG
Instafaved.

OH GODS!!! Cadence is ugly and fat, Luna is drunk and sleeping with Iron Will, Spike's gone bat shit crazy with being the captian of the Goddess of Magic and Celestia is a stalker for Twilight....how creepy, THIS, is going to be good.
At least now we know how the fuck she managed to rip off terminator. Now we just need an explanation for some of the others.
cant wait to see how they get out of the dragonguue problem thing
So…
Tydal is their "father" and "mother"?
Or did Merida need to go to the school early?
I was wondering why Chrysalis was part of the group instead of discord but i guess i got my answer...Discord (Q) is going to be the villian of this or is going try to bring them back together in the only way discord knows how through chaos.
Tydal... a p-pacifist?
NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Damn you Dali Lama, damn you to hell!
New favorite quote.
It's actually "Cerebus Syndrome." Considering that Cerebus was named as a misspelling of Cerberus, it's kind of amusing to see it the other way around. And as a Cerebus fan, Cerebus got better after Cerebus Syndrome set in. Of course, that means you then need to move on to the phase where you hate women and I can tell what kinds of drugs you're taking based on the flow of the narrative... but I digress.
Glad to see Season 2 start up so quickly. I'm looking forward to seeing what wackiness ensues!
... Mind if I borrow the Parliment idea?
2234473
Awesome start
I keep thinking of Cadence as looking like Jabba the Hut. Was that intentional ?
So.
Did anyone else's mind automatically go to this?
wow. first, a classmate of mine who is usualy late shows up early, and now Tydal's a passifist...
.
.
.
.
eh, at least i'll get a nice last meal befor the end of the world.
I think am more afraid of the Door to door salesponies
Tranquil Tydal is far more amusing. Keep him a zen master!
So... The Squad is on trial by the Q Contin- uh, Draconequus Parliament?
Oh shit!

Pretty much. Next chapter runs with the fact that Chrysalis got included by accident.

True, he is a bit more beatnik. Much of his dialouge is based off the writing of Robert Pinsky, especially his poem Impossible to Care... which I only know about because of the Simpsons.

Yup. Merida is the kindergarten teacher, so she always had to get up early and Tydal had to play Mr. Mom. I want to do a flashback chapter to more of filly Celestia/foal Luna with Tydal acting as their parent.
2236139
Go right ahead. I have alot of plans for it... let's just say that if you think you know what draconequuses are like... think again.
2236284
Yes. All her dialogue up to when she switches to English is actually Huttese that you can translate.
Next time on God Squad!

I demand that somehow, A BIG FUCKIN' STAR DESTROYER COMES OUT OF ORBIT AND LUNA DESTROYS IT WITH THE MOON FOR NO APPARENT REASON
Is Cadence going to be morbidly obese throughout the fic (and so on for everyone else's problems), or do everyones issues get resolved fairly quickly in the story?
Also, in the line about the bloody mary, you left out the word into
....I do not like pacifist Tydal. WHO IS THIS IMPOSTER? WHERE IS THE GOD KING OF THE SEAS!
I am thrilled to see this story has resturned! And Im thrilled that you have returned!
Continue!
Well, now season 2 started. It's sad seeing all of them go like that. Although I liked clingy Celestia. Not much else to say for now. Except that I'm looking forward to new chapters.
Barely into the story and I'm already laughing, so good for the sequel to be out and let the insanity continue.
God Squad Season 2 is up already?!

*Begins Reading with Great interest*
congratulations, you have learned the ways of Hasbro and other major corporations!
commencing read in 3... 2... 1...
what the heck did i just read...
So…Celestia is a stalker, Luna's an alcoholic freeloader, Tydal's converted to (the pony equivalent of) Buddhism, Cadance became overweight due to emotional eating, and Shining Armor…just what the fuck has he become?
Edit: Oh wait, he is a pacifist…well, shit.

This has to happen at some point.
The Draconequii have a Parliament? Well, if it's good enough for the Daleks...
I assume that it's closer in concept to the Q Continuum though.
