!''Nightmare Night And Nyx:''
* Pip ''tackles Shining Armor to the ground and stares him down''. Colt's got balls of steel.

->'''Shining Armor''': I've about had enough. You ponies have pushed my last button. YOU (''the mother'') need to get it through your head that the Guard is not a dumping ground for your parental failures. This is the Guard, we are not a substitute parent for when you get tired of screwing up the job. You (''the father'') need to get it through your head that we're not a whipping post for you to tie your son to when he disappoints you. And no, we would not 'make a stallion' out of him. We don't 'make stallions out of colts,' we make ''soldiers''. We take them, teach them to take orders, break things, and kill ponies. They may become stallions along the way, but that's only if there was something there to become one in the first place. But that probably goes right over your head, as you apparently think all it takes to be a stallion is to have a big mouth. Shut it! (''he does'') And by the way, we don't have a draft. There's a word in Equestrian for coercing people to serve you against their will: ''slavery''. We don't want an army of ponies that we had to bully or strong-hoof into wearing the uniform. And you, sir, (''the grandfather'') I've been listening to you flap your gab about the good old days in the Imperial Army since you arrived, and you're right-- no pony from the Equestrian armed forces would ever make it through that kind of treatment. ''Because we outlawed that kind of head-up-the-plot stupidity nearly a thousand years ago''! We run our cadets through the toughest training regiment on the planet. Up to fifteen percent don't make it through for one reason or other. ''But only a complete stone-age craps-while-he-walks roadapples-for-brains tinpot backwater King Nothing wannabe IDIOT thinks that psychologically and physically torturing your troops makes them fit for service''! Your leaders thought that way; your leaders got overrun by King Sombra. King Sombra thought like that; King Sombra got his plot kicked all over the tundra by two ''princesses in tiaras'' while his big bad army of psychotically disturbed sadomasochists ''ran for the hills''! And one other thing. Tell me, old timer; had any problems lately with frost wolves in your neighborhood? Well? Any windigoes, yetis, or ice moles? Had any run ins with hydras, manticores, dragons, rogue sea serpents, roaming bandits, pirates, diamond dogs? Well, then, on behalf of my weak, wussy, 'prancy' generation to yours, ''you're welcome''.
->''He turns to Roller, who's trying to hide a smirk, and {{Dope Slap}}s him.''
->'''Roller''': Hey, what--
->'''Shining''': Don't think I'm on your side here, kid. Something tells me that you've done nothing to keep from living down to their expectations. You're not out of the woods just ''yet''. The rest of you get out. I'm going to have a word with this little screwup in private. OUT! (''They leave.'')

* In ''Nyx's Family'', Night Light, Twilight's father, gets one with this BadassBoast coupled with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that he gives to a reporter.

** In Chapter 6, Shining Armor chews out a family for trying to sign up their obviously unfit son for the Royal Guards to make a stallion out of him.

--> The pushy pony wasn't deterred. "Well, with all the questionable individuals and associations and nepotism among you, why should we believe that you aren't? How do we know you're not just releasing the contents of the tomb to lull everypony into a false sense of security--"
-->This one made Night Light stop in his tracks and turn to look at the one who spoke. His dark glasses gave him a blank, bug-like stare. "I cannot rightly comprehend the confusion of ideas that can lead somepony to ask something like that," he said. "Are you stupid, boy? Are you mental?"
-->He stepped forward, his stemmed cigarette nearly poking the pony in question in the eye. "Don't mess with me, boy. I am one of Equestria's original fierce beasts. I am the original steam powered animal; I have dual pistons and a built-in cowcatcher and I will roll over your tiny ego like a herd of pie-crazed buffalo. I have SEEN horseapples.
-->"I spent a portion of my daughter's cuteceneara day as a potted cactus. I nearly was father in law to a giant cock-a-roach. I have alicorns in my kitchen on a regular basis. My family pic-a-nics in Everfree Forest and likes it.
--> "The Elements of Harmony swap Hearthwarming gifts with us. The fruit of my loins juggle ursa minors for a pastime and slap down armies while snogging their wife. My daughter makes Nightmare Moon sit in the corner when she's naughty and her best friend is Discord's parole officer. My daughter in law sits on a THRONE.
--> "And every one of them calls me '''SIR!'''"
--> "Now, listen closely you cut-rate Gabby Gums. If the Dual Throne was going to conquer your throne, it wouldn't look like this. It wouldn't involve polite little press releases where you lot sit around slurping gelato while Celestia's protégé announces she's trying to find one of your long-lost historical treasures. You wouldn't have your precious Crystal Heart back. You certainly wouldn't see the lawful heir to the throne in her rightful place.
--> "The only warning you'd receive before you woke up to Celestia and Luna on your thrones would be the ''sun going out''. "
--> The newspony swallowed. Night Light grinned fiercely, his teeth grinding on his cigarette holder. "That's right. Darkness in Day. That's the only warning the Gryphon Empire had before their little act of invasion 400 years ago got a response… a nice little mid-day eclipse. Twenty four hours later Celestia and the Solar Army were rolling up the last of the Gryphon Emperor's army like a pastry chef rolling up a blintz. It was a century before the sanctions were lifted and before any Gryphon was allowed to carry anything more intimidating than a butter knife. To this day the Gryphon Kings whitewash the seat of their thrones at the very thought of going to war with Equestria. They're not too fond of eclipses, either, come to think of it.
--> "THAT'S what a takeover by Equestria looks like!
--> "Celestia and Luna do not want to conquer you, or control you. They've already got one kingdom to run, they certainly don't need two. They want to strengthen you, to give you the power to take care of yourselves.That's why her protégé found your crystal heart, that's why she's looking for the lost secrets of earth pony-- of crystal pony-- magic. Nopony would be wasting their time on that if all they wanted was to conquer the Crystal Throne. And you bloody well know that, you bush-league muckraker.
--> "AS to what 'the former Nightmare Moon' is doing here, what she's doing is being with her family. And our plans for her are to help her mother raise her to be a good, kind, decent, upstanding mare-- though as for that, seeing as Nyx gave up her throne, her power and even her name and became a little filly again because of her love for her mother, I daresay Twilight Sparkle is doing a bang-up job of raising her as it is.
--> "Now step aside, you son of a bird cage liner. We're on our way to meet our daughter." With that, he marched forward, looking neither left nor right. The newsponies parted before him without another word. His wife followed, trailed by two foals, who were gaping in awe, and two guards who were having considerable trouble not cracking a grin.
