//-------------------------------------------------------// The Return of the Mad God -by CheezitLover69- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Guess Who's Back? //-------------------------------------------------------// Guess Who's Back? Tyrant was sitting in a lawn chair, looking up at the sunshine with a smile. A martini was in his right hand while a bloodied battle-axe was in his left. He had just beheaded a serial-killer who was paranoid about every damn thing, so the Judges of the Afterlife decided to off the fellow. He was sitting in a nice, calm area because not that many creatures that come to the Afterlife are terrible. Hell, most of them are pretty damn kind. Suddenly, a gravelly voice boomed, "Tyrant!" That caused him to jump off his lawn chair and fall face-first into the sandy beach... Tyrant's Perspective I pulled my head off the sand and brushed my face, looking up at the sky. One of the giants appeared, looking down at me calmly. I frowned, "Apart from telling me you just fucked up my nice afternoon, what other information do you want to give me?" My sarcasm was clear. The giant smiled, "As mad as always, as to be expected." Then it's face went neutral, "Tyrant, I came here to inform you that you have served your time here." A large smile formed on my face, and I got onto my knees, throwing my fists into the air and shouting, "FUCKING FINALLY!!" The giant teleported me into the judgement hall of the giants and spoke clearly, "Do you remember the terms of our agreement?" I nodded, and it continued, "Then, please, choose a form you would like to use." I slowly morphed into my form; large, black-feathered wings sprouted from my back. After that, a horn appeared on my forehead. Then my head and body turned into one that was of an Alicorn's, a bit taller than Celestia. My body grew fur that was jet-black, along with the mane that was jet black with a grey top. The tail was the same color scheme with a jet black color and grey top. Both of them were ragged and unkempt, just the way I like it. I licked my teeth, which were very sharp than my old ones. I almost looked like my old pony form, just a bit taller. Smiling, I looked back up at the giants, "Alright, I'm ready." The Judges nodded, whispering to each other. When they finished, the tallest giant, Yor, looked down at me with a pleasant smile, "Tyrant, as a parting gift, we'll give you one more choice." They paused for a while, and I twirled my hand in a "please continue" motion. "Which is...?" Yor spoke again, "We're giving you the choice to choose which power you want to start with." I smiled, "Thanks, guys. If I have to choose, I'd like my regenerative abilities for in case I lose a limb or get cut up." The Judges nodded in agreement, and slowly I felt the sore spots on my body heal. "Aw yeah, that's more like it." Yor smirked, "We hope you come back, Tyrant, it's been a pleasure." I nodded back, "Yeah..." I was teleported to a forest, without any clue where I was, "...Those Giant bastards..." Instead of exploring the forest, I instead spread my wings and flew into the air, higher than the trees so that I got a good idea of where I was. Once I was above the trees, I took a look around the area. To the North was Ponyville and beyond that was Canterlot. To the East was just... Baltimare? How high did I fly? Fuck it, I'll learn later. To the South was my castle, that seemed to be flocking with ponies, and then the badlands beyond it. To the West was the Whitetail Woods and then Las Pegasus. And... that's about it from what I could tell. Flying over to my castle, I studied the ponies going in and out of my castle. I wanted to see what all the commotion was about, but now I see why; my castle appears to have been turned into some sort of museum. Landing on the ground a ways away from the entrance, I planned out how my entrance should go. Stepping out into the light of the Sun, I walked over to the bridge that hung over the lave moat. The ponies near the entrance backed away in surprise and a few gasped as they saw me, but I chuckled at their reactions. It felt so good to be back again. I crossed over the bridge and pushed the large doors open. And as I expected, my entire castle had been turned into some sort of museum. "Luna, why must you do this...?" I asked myself, sighing as a few guards approached. "Halt, sir!" One of the guards shouted as they all began pointing their spears at me. "Who are you?" I must have trespassed onto my own castle grounds. I smirked, "Remember me? It's your pal Tyrant!" The guard scoffed, "Yeah, right. That story is just a myth." A myth? A fucking myth? Do ponies really forget the past that easily?! I glared at the guard, stomping over to him menacingly. The other guards shouted things like, 'Step back!','I'll kill you!', and all that. I leaned close to his face, snarling at him, "Call them off, otherwise I'll tear your goddamn head off..." The guard narrowed his eyes, "No!" I smiled menacingly, bringing one of my hooves to his cheek and began slowly caressing his cheek, the little rubs making him a little frightened. "You're messing with a God, my friend. If you want to continue living, I suggest you listen to my commands." I then shoved him onto the ground, looking down at him while smiling, exposing my sharp teeth. He looked on in horror, "What are you...?" I chuckled, "I'm the one who's gonna kick your ass if you don't STAND DOWN!" I then stomped my way over to him, baring my sharp teeth while growling. He had enough, "Stand down men! I said STAND DOWN!" I stopped, seeing as the other soldiers stopped pointing their spears at me. They were all glaring at me, but that is to be expected as I did just nearly break their captain. Speaking of which, I turned to back with him with a plain expression, "You're so damn lucky they stopped. Now if you'll excuse me..." I unfurled my wings and took off into the sky, heading towards Canterlot in search of Luna and Twinkle. I swear to god, if Blueblood had made my daughter's life rough while I was gone, I will sock him in the face and break his muzzle. Ugh... I really fucking hate him so much. Dude's a douche. Time Skip: Thirty Minutes Forward Canterlot castle was in view, and I smiled with relief. Boredom might have killed me if it was any farther away. The city looked the same from what I could tell, the only difference being the new stained glass windows, one being me blowing up Nightmare, the other being of what looked to be my daughter as a foal. I knew how I was going to make my entrance, and it was going to be perfect! Lining myself up with my stained glass window, I folded in my wings and dived towards it, a big smile appearing on my face. Twinkle's Perspective I was sitting with Aunt Celestia in Day Court, learning how to manage and control one. It was so wonderful! I was also glad that cousin Blueblood wasn't here, because he's a jerk. Wherever I went he would talk about my dead dad, which would hurt my feelings. But Mom said that he was going to come back, and that he would personally deal with cousin Blueblood. I sighed sadly, my hope of him ever returning slowly fading away. It's been years, and he still hasn't shown up... I heard a loud crash, then the sound of gasps of shock and fright. Looking up, I saw that there was an Alicorn stallion with his chest puffed out proudly. His smirk was quite frightening, as they looked to be very, very sharp. His red slitted eyes gazed across the room, searching for something or somebody. He looked to be somewhat old, as he had some gray hairs in his mane and tail. Suddenly, his eyes fell on me, and he smiled calmly. He then spoke in a low voice that Minotaurs usually have, "Twinkle..." Tyrant's Perspective My daughter entered my view, and I smiled calmly, "Twinkle..." Her fur was dark blue, just like Luna's, and her mane and tail were black with a couple turquoise areas. Her eyes were also dark red, almost like mine. Celestia, however, seemed cautious with me, "Who are you?" I turned my gaze to her, my smile turning into a frown, "Tyrant, Princess Celestia, and I have come to see my daughter." I began walking to her, only to be stopped by guards who pointed spears at me. The lead guard, Shining Armor, glared at me, "Tyrant died saving his own daughter and Princess Luna, and you dare pretend to be Princess Twinkle's daughter?!" I returned Shining Armor's glare with one of my own, which made him shrink back a bit, "I know what I did thirteen years ago, Shining. The pain I went through was almost unbearable when I exploded in the sky so I'm sure I'll know my own history." I took another step forward, but a sword was pointed in my direction by Shining. "Prove it." He stated, holding his sword at my neck. I smirked, "You're making a mistake, Shiny. If you want proof you better be ready to enter the hospital for a few weeks." I then leaned into his sword, the edge poking into my neck slightly causing a little dribble of blood to pour out. Shining stared at me coldly, his eyes never leaving mine. The tension in the room was high as the Nobles, my daughter, Celestia, and the rest of the Royal Guard held their breath. Shining didn't care, I could tell from the look he was giving me. I didn't care either, I just wanted my daughter. Suddenly, Shining smirked, "Nice to have you back, Tyrant." I smiled back, "Nice to see you, Shining." He put his sword in its sheath and my wound healed almost instantly. I chuckled, whispering, "Still got a stick shoved up your ass?" He chuckled, whispering back, "Let's not fight right now, go give your daughter a hug." I nodded, turning to Twinkle who was hiding under Celestia's wing. I made my way over to Celestia, who smiled at me. She turned to Twinkle and spoke softly, "It's alright, niece, he's your father. He would never hurt you." Twinkle looked at me, before looking away. She must be very scared of me or very shy, and I hope it's the latter. Sitting down, I extended a hoof to her, smiling happily, "Come on, Twinkle, I don't bite. Not you, at least." Celestia chuckled softly at that, but Twinkle only peeked. Seeing the sincerity in my eyes, she hesitantly stepped out from Celestia's wing. She then made her way to me slowly, giving me a cautious look, "D... Dad...?" I nodded, "That's right, sweetheart, it's me. Dad." She suddenly ran at me, throwing her forelegs around my neck and hugging me tightly. It was nice to see her again, no matter what the cause. A tear ran down my face and onto my now smiling cheeks. "I missed you, sweetheart." I heard her sniffle, and her voice was filled with choked sobs, "I missed you too, daddy." We stayed like that for a few more moments, but I pushed away from our hug and looked into her little, sad eyes with a smile. I then stood up, looking at Celestia, "Where's Luna?" Celestia pointed at the secondary throne room doors, "In her quarters, resting." I nodded, looking down at Twinkle. "Want to walk with me to your mom's room?" Twinkle nodded happily, to which she ran ahead and went through the doors before I had the chance to stop her. She must have been very excited to tell Luna about how I'm back and all that. Turning to the crowd of nobles and guardsmen, I waved, "Hello, ponies." I got a few happy replies, but a few other were rather aggressive than I'd like. Sighing, I headed towards the doors Twinkle had went through, rolling my eyes at the ridiculousness of the crowd. I mean, I knew I destroyed my own window and made a huge mess during Day Court, but is that any reason to get mad at me? Well... now that I think about it... nevermind. Pushing the doors open, I saw Twinkle in the center of the hall, looking forward in fear. Looking ahead, I saw Blueblood and two other nobles laughing together as they made their way down the hall. As they neared Twinkle, Blueblood looked at Twinkle with a smug smile, "Well, what do we have here? The fatherless foal alone in the hallway, that's what." He laughed along with the rest of the nobles, which made my blood boil. Twinkle, however, glared at Blueblood, "You're one to talk, Blueblood. Your father died on the streets, like a pig. At least my father died protecting the entire bucking planet." Love her even more now. Blueblood glared at Twinkle, before raising his hoof and striking her, sending her to the ground. "Don't talk about my father, foal." I snorted, stomping my way over to Blueblood. "You dare touch her?!" Blueblood looked at me in an uninterested, "Who are you? Another peasant?" If looks could kill, he'd be melting, "I'm the one who's going to fuck you up, Blueblood. It's me," He looked at me frightened, "Uncle Tyrant." He looked at me fearfully, "Y-You're supposed to b-be dead!" I used my magic to throw the nobles next to him at the walls. I then used my magic to grab Blueblood by his mane and drag him over to me, "I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!" My voice boomed, and I threw him at the wall, before finally bringing him back up to my face, "YOU TOUCH HER AGAIN AND I FUCKING SWEAR THAT I WILL BREAK YOU!" I then slammed his head into the ground, and he groaned in pain. I took a deep, calming breath, gritting my teeth. I turned to Twinkle, who looked up to me in awe. "Wow..." I quickly trotted over to her side, worry in my eyes, "Are you okay?!" She nodded, getting up, "Yeah, this isn't the first time he's done this-" "WHAT?!" I asked, turning around and glaring at Blueblood. I snorted, "When he wakes up he's gonna be punished so severely that he won't know what being royalty feels like anymore." I turned back to Twinkle, and she looked at me in fear, and I realized I just shouted at her, "Oh my, I'm so sorry sweetheart. I didn't mean to scare you with my harsh words." She nodded, her fear slowly dissipating, "It's alright daddy." She hugged me, "I'm glad you dealt with him." I chuckled, hugging her back, "Trust me, when he wakes up he'll be sitting in the dungeons before I decide a proper punishment." Suddenly, a door opposite of the throne room doors bursted open, and we looked down the hall and at Luna, who was looking out with anger, "What in Celestia's name is going on?!" Her eyes looked at the nobles and Blueblood, then on me and Twinkle. Her eyes only hardened, "Put down my daughter or face the consequences, sir." Her horn lowered and glowed with a dark blue aura. I chuckled, setting down Twinkle and turning to Luna, "Love, you remember me, don't you?" Luna looked at me with caution, still pointing her horn at me, "Love?" I nodded, and she looked at Twinkle who decided to hug my foreleg. She turned back to me, "The only one who called me Love was-" She gasped, "...Tyrant?" I nodded, "Damn straight." She flew over to me, tackling me with a bear hug that would've squeezed the life out of me had she not broken out of it early. She gave me a big kiss on the lips, and I chuckled when she stopped, "Didn't know you missed me so, love." She kissed me on the muzzle, "You don't even know." Twinkle then jumped up and hugged us both, "Now we're a big happy family!" Luna chuckled, before turning to Blueblood and the nobles, "What happened here?" I explained the story to Luna, from start to end, and she was mad. "He has no idea what I'm going to do to him." I smiled smugly, "Yep, he's got no clue. Anyways, I've been gone for awhile, so how about you guys fill me in with what happened over the years." Luna smiled, hugging me, 'Alright, but you must promise you will never pull a stunt like thirteen years ago." I chuckled, "No promises." "Good enough." //-------------------------------------------------------// Without a Reasonable Doubt //-------------------------------------------------------// Without a Reasonable Doubt I trotted down the halls of Canterlot Castle in the night, thinking over the events that happened while I was gone. First of all, Equestria is now at war with the Griffon Empire along with the Dragons, and the biggest threat is the dragons, so that's an issue that I'll deal with in due time. Another thing is that my daughter has been going to school in Ponyville, since she didn't like the noble children in Canterlot school as they always flirted with her and made her uncomfortable. As much I am comfortable with tearing the flirtatious children's hearts out, Luna told me not too, which I agreed to reluctantly. Finally, there is what happened to all my friends while I was gone. Chrome was now working for the Royal Guard and eventually became the Captain since then. He also got married to Applejack, much to Big Mac's chagrin. And Ace Jack is dating Twilight, probably too scared to take it to the next level. Ace is also a teacher now in Ponyville, just wonderful. Bastard better not antagonize my daughter purposefully. Other than that, everything's still the same; Equestria is trying to be as peaceful as possible, thieves run amok in Manehattan, and I'm still lazy as fuck. Just wonderful. I sighed internally, knowing of the many things I had to put on my To-Do list. I'll probably deal with the dragons first by talking to Kaleth, the Champion and King of Dragons. If he doesn't stop what he's doing, I'll just use the near-lethal way to get him to knock it off. Suddenly, I heard my daughter shout at me, "Dad! Wait up!" I turned and saw her rushing down the hallway. Smirking, I asked in a humored tone, "What are you doing up this late, sweetheart? I thought mom put you to bed." She caught up to me, smiling back happily, "I know, but I want to spend time with you since I've never actually got to spend time with you, dad!" I rubbed my chin with a hoof, looking down at my daughter questioningly, "Isn't it a school day tomorrow?" She bit her lip, looking down at the ground, "Uh... yeah, it is." She looked back up to me, "But I wanna spend time with you!" I smiled, crouching down and hugging her, "You know what?" "What?" She asked, hugging me tighter. "How about I go with you to school tomorrow morning? And afterwards, you could introduce me to all your friends!" She pulled away from the hug, looking up at me hopefully, "Really?" I nodded, "Yep, really. Besides, we're royalty, right? And I got nothing better to do tomorrow, so why not?" She hugged me, catching me off-guard as I fell to the ground, "Awesome!" I hugged her back while I was on the ground, "Good, now go to bed, sweetheart. Got a big day tomorrow." She stood up and looked at me curiously, "Don't you need to sleep?" I shook my head, standing up, "No, mainly because I'm a literal God, and my need for sleep is very, very small." She rubbed her chin, deep in thought. Whatever she was thinking about was beyond me. Then her face suddenly lit up, "Then does that make me a demigod?" I shrugged, "I suppose so, sweetheart. Now get to bed, don't want you to be tired by tomorrow." She hugged me then quickly ran off, hopefully to bed rather than running around the castle. I arose and began walking to the throne room, where Luna was waiting for me. Like days past, I'm going to spend time with Luna by being in the Night Court. Then a thought crossed my mind; why don't I just teleport? I rolled my eyes, face-palming for my own stupidity. However, when I tried to, I couldn't. Then I realized, those giants didn't give me my magic back. "Shit..." I whispered to myself, sighing in defeat. I hate walking, even if it is a rather short distance. Hell, the secondary throne room doors were a few meters ahead. Ugh, felt like whole minutes until I finally made it. God, any longer and I may have collapsed from exhaustion. Pushing the doors open, I saw Luna was speaking to a crowd of Nobles while sitting on her throne, her hoof buried into her right cheek. She was bored obviously, so I needed to make her a little bit more interested in this kind of crap. I gave the Nobles a look as I walked up on stage. It was a look that blatantly said, 'say a goddamn word about me being late and I'll hurt you'. Of course, one of them didn't see it and spoke up rather pompously, "Well it seems that somepony is late." I instantly began walking toward him, glaring daggers. The Nobles that were sitting around him stood up and moved away from him, worried that I may hurt them if they got in my way. The Noble looked on in fear as I neared him, baring my sharp teeth. "Say another word and I'll rip your horn off and shove it up your-" "Tyrant!" Luna shouted at me, and I turned to see that she was blocking her face with a hoof, pretty much embarrassed of my actions. "Take a seat, please." I snorted, turning back to the Noble, "Speak to me like that ever again without one of the other Princesses around, and I'll tear your heart out." I turned on my heel, heading back to the throne. Upon reaching the throne, I sat next to Luna, glaring at the disruptive Noble. He avoided my cold gaze, and he was very lucky that he did. "Alright, now everypony, please take your seats." The Nobles all sat down, a few murmuring things about me. Luna, however, continued, "Now that we're all seated, let's start with the requests all of you have. Las Pegasus?" She pointed to a Pegasus with black shades on along with a tuxedo. He stood up, adjusting his tie and speaking calmly, "The citizens of Las Pegasus have no requests, Princess." He sat back down. Luna nodded, "Alright. Next, Stalliongrad?" A very pompous, 'I'm-To-Good-For-You' unicorn stood up. "Stalliongrad has a simple request that we receive more troops to protect our city." Luna raised a brow, "Protect from what, exactly?" He gulped, wetting his lips, "There have been recent raids on our city during the night. The raiders are a mix between dragons, griffons, and ponies, each one more dastardly than the other." Luna nodded, "Alright, I'll talk send a few extra troops to protect your city." He bowed, "You have my thanks." "Next, Fillydelphia." A... griffon stood up? Really? Huh, thought we were at war with them. "We have no requests, Princess. Please continue." He sat back down. This whole thing continued like that. One after another, each city would either ask for things, or simply pass. I thought that they would make radical requests like 'We need more bits for our new casino!' or 'We must kill off all the dragons so that they are not a threat!'. But no, all I heard was simple, almost minuscule requests. As it ended and everyone left the room, I felt Luna lean on my shoulder, sighing, "Orion, do you think you could do a favor for me?" Wow, never heard use my name in a thousand years, must be serious. I wrapped a wing around her, "Sure, what is it?" "I want you to go with the troops to protect Stalliongrad tomorrow evening." She let out a big yawn, closing her eyes while leaning on my shoulder, "Okay?" I smirked, "Alright, I suppose so. By the way, I'm going with Twinkle to Ponyville and visit during school." She nodded sleepily, "That's fine by me, but promise me you'll support the troops." I nodded, "I promise." And so, Luna fell asleep on my shoulder and I put her over my back and carried her over to her room, using my magic to set her on the bed. I followed suit, yawning before I got into bed. She snuggled against my chest, and I smiled happily at her. If this was what it was like to be the semi-good guy, then I officially call myself a dumbass for not going good before. I closed my eyes and let the embrace of sleep take me, sending me into a moderately good sleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// School Day //-------------------------------------------------------// School Day I awoke abruptly as I was shaken awake. Opening my eyes, I saw that it was Twinkle who was smiling at me happily, "Hi, dad!" I sighed, closing my eyes and speaking in a tired tone, "What's up, Twinkle?" "I need you to get up and ready to go with me to Ponyville for school!" She hopped off the bed and onto the ground, turning back to me, "Hurry!" I sleepily got up, stretching my wings and legs, "Alright, alright, I'm up sweetheart." I walked towards the door, "Come along, lets go." She happily trotted next to me. I opened the door and let her through first, before shutting the door behind me. Luna was still asleep in there and I was surprised that she didn't wake up when the noisy child was... well, noisy. As we were walking through the hallway, I noticed that a few Royal Guards gave me a quick glare. However, each time one of them gave me that look, I returned it with a glare of my own, which seemed to get the job done. Royal Guards were always pricks, even if they tried not to be. Excluding Shining Armor, of course. I felt a tug on my foreleg, and looked down to see that Twinkle was somehow pulling on my fur with her hoof. Not the nook of the hoof, but the flat, smooth surface of it. Weird... She spoke excitedly, "What do you want to do afterwards, daddy?" I shrugged as we continued walking and neared the chariot hangar, "Whatever you wanna do, Twinkle. Just make sure we do it before eight o'clock." I could tell that she gave me a quizzical look when she asked, "Why?" "Because I must protect Stalliongrad from mean ponies, griffons, and dragons, darling." We reached the chariot and sat next to each other on it, obviously. "From what I've heard other Nobles say, Stalliongrad is a bad place." I chuckled, "Sweetheart, never listen to Nobles. They'll just make sure that you're like your cousin Blueblood." "I don't want to be like Blueblood!" "Listen to them for a few months and you will." After that, we spoke about common things during our ride, like what it was like without me, how Luna was acting, and how happy she was now that I was back. Wasn't surprised about that last one since there was the incident with Blueblood, which I dealt with 'fairly'. Seriously, what was his problem? Beating up a mare, let alone a Princess who was the daughter of one of the rulers of Equestria and the daughter of the strongest creature on the entire planet? What was he thinking?! Ugh, the guy's a thorn in my side, and if he keeps this shit up, I'll just break every bone in his body and be done with it. Celestia would have to kill me in order to keep me from getting my hands on him, which is impossible. "Sir." A gruff voice stated, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned to see a Royal Guard saluting me, and noticed that Twinkle was standing next to him, waiting impatiently. "Oh, sorry, just lost in my thoughts." I stepped off the chariot, handing the Royal Guard a bag of bits. "Thank you, soldier. Keep up the good work." His eyes widened as the bag of bits landed in his hoof, and he smiled happily at me, returning to the chariot and flying off with the bits still in his hoof. Twinkle and I trotted through town, and I noticed some familiar faces, most notably Rarity and Fluttershy. They gave me cautious look as I grinned, showing my sharp teeth. They were probably wondering why Twinkle was walking around with such a sexy looking guy like me. I'm just kidding. They were probably wondering why Twinkle was hanging out with such a scary looking guy like myself. Anyways, on with the story. We passed Sugarcube Corner, the definition of a Gingerbread House. I wouldn't be surprised if the glass was made of melted sugar. Then there was the school, a place of knowledge and talent. A place where foals go in as idiots and come out as mathematicians or scientists or even become the leader of some sort of organization that works for Equestria's Government that could easily undermine them but decide not to for some reason. Gotta love it. Twinkle trotted along happily, but I decided to go at a walking pace, not wanting to see what Ace looks like now. Hell, I may even feel bad for him if his face is all bashed in or something. Twinkle entered and I followed, staying near the door and leaning on the wall. There were five rows of desks, from the front to the back of the class room. Each row held five seats, which meant there was twenty-five students. That's just basic mathematics. The floor and support beams across the ceiling were a light brown, while the walls were a light yellow. The teacher's desk was a light brown like the floor, and there was a little name plate on the edge of the desk that read, 'Ace Jack', and under the name were the words, ' teacher'. I stayed silent while everyone came to the classroom, and I saw Twinkle sitting in the front, her head leaning on her hoof, obviously bored. Suddenly, Ace Jack walked in, not noticing me and sitting at his desk. "Alright, class, today we're going to learn about the Starswirl the Bearded and how he saved Equestria from the World Eater." He was wearing a pair of glasses, along with a fedora that he took off his head and sat it on the desk. He even grew a beard himself, which cover most of his jaw line and upper lip. Like, it was a thick beard. I smirked, turning to Twinkle who smiled back. Twinkle raised her hand, catching Ace's attention. "Yes, Twinkle?" She stood up, "May I introduce my favorite pony?" Ace Jack raised a brow, "Twinkle, you may do that tomorrow, not today." I heard a teen in the back snicker and whisper, "As if she has anypony to show." I turned to the brat who said that and glared daggers. There were four of them, one had tan with a brown mane and was a colt, along with the one sitting next to him. His brother most likely. Another was orange with red hair, and the final one was green with a purple mane. They took notice of me and looked at me fearfully, before turning away from my gaze. Bunch of fucking brats, saying such things about my daughter. Twinkle decided to continue, "But he's here today!" Ace sighed, "Alright, who is it?" She pointed a hoof at me, "My dad." Ace turned to me, his eyes slowly widening with surprise. He got off his chair and walked over to me, looking me over once or twice. "T-Tyrant?" I grinned, "In the flesh." I smirked, "Still owe me money for the hospital bill." I chuckled, "Like heck I'll ever pay for that." "Heck's where you'll be going if you don't." I rolled my eyes, patting him on the shoulder, "Good to see you, Ace." He nodded, "You too." He went back to his desk and looked at me, "You want to share some things with the class or you gonna just stand there like a statue?" I chuckled, walking next to Ace's desk and looking at the class with a grin, "So, what do you all want to know about me?" The orange coated brat raised his hoof, and I glared, "Hurry it up." He chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his head with a hoof, "How long have you been around?" "A day or so." I gave him a suspicious look, "Why?" "Just curious." He replied, sinking back in his seat. Just curious? Pfft, yeah right. If I hear you say one more bad thing about Twinkle, I'm gonna fuck you up. I forced myself to smile, and I turned to see Twinkle holding her hoof up in the air, and my smile became real. "Yes, Twinkle?" She put her hoof down and looked at me inquisitively, "How do you know Mr. Jack?" I chuckled, turning to him with a knowing smirk, "Well, that is a long story." I turned to her, "It started roughly a thousand years ago..." Long Story Short... "...and so now I'm here, in his classroom, with you." She thought about it for a minute, scratching her chin with a hoof, "So... you made him immortal, and he got mad and wanted to hurt you, but when he finally reached you he got pummeled by you. Then you went undercover as the good guy, making them all trust you. Then in the end, he went after you after you unleashed Tirek and destroyed part of Equestria and Princess Twilight's library, to which he got pummeled again and ended up in a wheelchair, while you sacrificed yourself for the good of Equestria?" I nodded, "Glad you've been paying attention." I looked at me wrist, "Time for me to go." I walked over to her and hugged her. Once I let go of her, I walked next to the group of teens that were teasing her and glared at each one, "If I hear about her getting bullied again by either of you, I will personally make your lives terrible. I don't care if you're teens, I will make your lives a living hell." I smiled, "Later." I made my way out of the school building after I said my goodbyes to Ace and the other students. After that, I decided to sit against a tall oak tree a ways away and wait for Twinkle to hang out with her during lunch and recess. Luna gave me a schedule beforehand; she knew I would snooze instead of learn all the boring crap in school. I stretched my wings, taking a seat and leaning on the tree behind me. Yawning, I closed my eyes and embraced sleep with open arms... Two Hours Later I was awoken by something poking my arm, and opening my eyes I expected to see Twinkle... ...but it was Chrome instead. He wasn't hiding himself in a pony form, but instead allowed everyone see that he was indeed a Changeling. I glared at him, "Chrome, you better have a good reason to wake me up." Chrome chuckled, "Yep, it's you." He pointed a hoof at the school, "School's out and Twinkle has been waiting for you for a few minutes. She's getting worried." He held out a hoof, which I took so he could help me up. "She asked me to find you." "Why?" Chrome's face faltered, and he simply shook his head, "Your daughter's too beautiful to go to public school, Tyrant. Colts nowadays are just... weird." My eyes wandered over to where Twinkle was, and saw that there were two of the four teens pestering my daughter. They were the two brothers. I clenched my jaw, turning to Chrome, "You might want to get out of here." "Why is that?" He turned to the teens, realization making itself known on his face. "Oh..." He then turned on his heel and trotted out of sight. I turned my attention to the teens, and stomped my way over to them. Brats... just wait until they see what I'll do. I warned them what would happen, and now they're in some deep shit. I was behind them and overheard every word they said... "Your dad caused the greatest villain of Equestria to be unleashed!" "He lied to the princesses and his own friends!" "Your dad is stupid!" That last one... what the hell? That's so goddamn stupid, even for a teen his age. I looked over them and saw Twinkle, her hooves covering her ears as she was crying, "Stop... please stop..." I tensed, my breath becoming shallow; she was crying... that is the first time I've ever seen her cry... fuck it is heartbreaking. "Twinkle...?" I asked, causing the two boys to turn to me in fear. Twinkle looked up, the tear stains clear on her cheeks. We stared at each other for a moment, and I smiled at her, "Don't worry, sweetheart. Daddy's here..." My eyes soon burned with rage as I looked down at the two teens. "What did I say?!" They tried to run away, but I caught them in my magic. I turned to Twinkle, my rage dissipating momentarily, "Love, could you go inside for a minute and ask Ace Jack to put up a soundproof barrier?" Twinkle nodded, trotting inside and I heard her talking to Ace. Soon after, Ace peeked around the corner and saw me holding the kids, quickly putting up a soundproof barrier. I turned my attention back to the kids, "Now, where were we?!"
