I've now come to (sort of) hate them

Or is it just discord?

I don’t know, one moment I’m I the cavern of the lunar isles, the next moment I’m in ANOTHER BLOODY FOREST being confronted by/introduced to what look like pastel multi-Technicolor ponies, two with wings, one with a horn, one with both wings and a horn, and two "normal" ones

(Another note; this is a sequel to ALG/EG go read that on DA first)

"Where the hell am I?" I asked looking at nobody in particular.

"You speak Equestrian?" the lavender/purple one asked

"You speak English?" my jaw dropped slightly

"No, you're speaking Equestrian. And very well too." she replied

"Sorry, I think we need to start at the beginning, my name is Twilight Sparkle and this is Spike,” she said indicating the dragon standing next to her.

"Hi!" Spike said.

"Right back at ya” I smiled

"So, twilight, care to introduce your 'company'" I gestured behind her

She was about to speak when an almost to-loud-to-be-real roar almost deafened us

I turned behind me to face whatever it was that had caused the uproar, only to find myself face-to-face with one of the ugliest creatures I’ve ever seen

It had the face and body of a lion, wings like a bat and the tail of a scorpion

"Lemme at him so I can roast him" I heard blaze maniacally laugh

"One well roasted 'THING' coming right up, for those of you who have weak stomachs look away now" I grinned, turning back to the "ponies"

"What’re you going to do, burn it?" the cyan one asked, grinning devilishly

"Something like that" I chuckled

Just as I turned to face the manticore, I "side-stepped" avoiding the tail that came crashing down upon me

"That the BEST you got?" I grinned evilly, earning myself another loud roar

I smiled, generating a crystal sword in one set of claws, a demi-giant crystal fist in the other, culminating in a few loud gasps from behind me

The tail came down again, but not before I grabbed it, pulled it, then snapped it off

"Same boring strategies twice in a row how stupid ARE you?" I yawned. Throwing the tail into the tree-line

you know, for a second there I thought I saw what looked like a tear in its eyes, right before it turned metaphorical tail and ran off, leading a small trail of blood in its direction

"I’ll have you for breakfast yet!" I yelled laughing all the while

I turned back to "twilight, degenerating the sword and fist all the while

"So where were-" I noticed that all but the cyan one and twilight had ran off I could hear the bushes rustling rather loudly

"b-breakfast" twilight stuttered

"Don’t worry, I won't eat you, pony-" I was cut off again, this time by a seemingly all-powerful presence or presences I knew not which at that moment

I looked up to find myself staring at one of the strangest beings if ever seen

There was a new addition to the already somewhat large group

It looked like the cyan one, only with a horn and being a perfect white color (coat?)

and what looked like a type of gold necklace around its neck/chest area, with an amethyst engraved into the center, along with a tiara/crown combo tucked just behind the horn, as well as a strange type of footwear that I can only begin to describe, as well having a sea-foam green/Columbian blue/pink/ royal blue mane that seemed to be blowing in a breeze that wasn't there

Celestia, I mused

"...."

"..."

You could've cut the silence in the air with a rusty spoon

"......."

{BOO!}

I stared blankly as she jumped about half a foot into the air

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" the cyan one practically screamed at me, getting in my face

"You blame me for that?" I growled

"YEAH, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT!” she yelled

"This," I smiled shooting up into the sky creating a sonic boom

The view was absolutely incredible; I simply CANNOT put it into words

I turned around to see the same blue Pegasus following me along with the white one as well

Upon seeing after mentioned princess, I stopped

"Where did you learn to fly like that!?” the cyan one almost cheered

Screaming at me one minute, cheering me on the next, I smell large traces of bullshit

"Species ability" I smiled

"I don't believe you!” She grinned evilly

"That’s OK, you don't have to"

"Who ARE you?!" she laughed

"Tesla, you?"

"I'M rainbow dash! Fastest Pegasus in equestria!"  She held out a hoof

"Huh?" I stared blankly at her

"Don’t leave me hanging, bump it!" she laughed again

I did so, not seeing the point of it, then flew back down to the ground

Only to be surrounded by what looked like guards, all aiming their spears at me

"HALT" one of them shouted

He looked about three feet tall, clad in purple armour and helmet

He was standing next to another alicorn, Cadance to be exact (god I need to get out more)

There were between 30 and 60 of them, plus Cadance and armour

Celestia landed somewhat gracefully next to the two of them, whispering to armour

"GUARDS lower your weapons; he is of no threat to us! Shining armour shouted

The guards, reluctantly lowered their spears

"I am if you annoy me", I yawned, eyes half-open

The guards instantly raised their spears again, making me wish I could face-palm

"Relax I-" I was cut off for a third time that day

"Twily!" he cheered

After-mentioned twilight ran up to him, hugging him, causing me to smile

"Don’t get any ideas" I heard blaze laugh

"I won't!" I muttered chuckling

"And what's so funny!? I heard one of the guards snarl

"Should we?" I muttered

"Might as well, blaze giggled

There was a flash of light, and blaze and I were separated, after-mentioned female quilava now resting on my head, whistling at the sight of the guards and princesses

The guards now aimed at blaze, not me

"if you so much as even THINK about following through with what you're thinking, I’ll SLAUGHTER every single one of you, personally!" I roared

The guards, unsurprisingly, dropped their spears at that remark

"Honestly this is worse than the NMM incident, just straight action, no words or negotiations", I growled

"You just threatened the guards and their (they're?) Captain, is it any wonder!?" Cadance spat

"tesla's rule Cadance, you can mess around with me all you want, but mess with my friends like they were going to, YOU DIE" got it?, I rebuked, generating another crystal fist thrice the size of the previous one

She stepped back a few at that one

"Thanks big brother!” blaze cheered

"Anytime blaze", I smiled, disintegrating the crystal hand

"Big brother?" armour practically whispered

"Yeah I know, we look nothing alike", I frowned "but I still consider her family!” I added grinning all the while

"I see..." he nodded, sagely

"What about me, daddy" I heard Valkyrie cry

"Not yet Val, too many guards and pointy objects I murmured"

"Hm? What was that?" I heard the guard from before jeer

"Nothing in particular, besides, if you treat like blaze here like crap why should I show you anything else?" I sighed, re-fusing with blaze “and besides, if I wanted to actually kill anyone I’ve done it by now"

But you just-"   twilight started

"but nothing, I only did that because YOU were threatening MY family!", I barked " seriously how would YOU like it if I came into your house and killed YOUR sister, I think you'd WANT me dead, or is it banished to the moon?, or jail, I know not which, and nor do I care", I sneered

"How...how DARE you!" twilight yelled

It was then that I noticed a third alicorn, Luna, among the spectators

Shit

"I therefore bid thee, adieu," I bowed, turning away from the crowd of guards, elements and royals only to fly headlong into a cold, hard stone wall

Double shit
