> Warframe: The Planet Equin Incident: Mission Failed! > by REDMAMBA > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Equestria Girls Excalibur > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The steady roar of the engine filled the cabin as we rode along high up in the over the mountains. The Blackhawks massive blades cut through the air as we accelerated forward. “Alright,” my sister started over the radio in her helmet. Both of us sat in our respective spots in the cabin as we waited patiently for our arrival. “Here’s the situation. Climbers on on their way but they are hours away! We’re going to be their first response!” “What all do we got info wise?” I asked. “Young student fell from a cliff,” my pilot Zephyr informed over the radio while turning her head to the right slightly. “We got a call from the principal requiring immediate assistance." “What school?” “Canterlot High!” My sister and I shared a worrisome glance. That wasn't good. That school has been having some strange things happening over the last several months. Magic, demons, alternate universe doppelgangers of students. All mythical and science fictional. I even heard about a dragon and someone tearing the barrel off a tank. “Apparently fell getting to close to the edge while the students were exploring the area. Slipped, rolled, and thankfully landed on an open ledge,” my copilot, Titania continued. “It's to secluded for them to reach her! That’s why we are here!” “And We’re coming up on the site now!” Zephyr confirmed. Glancing towards my sister, I gave her a firm nod. Time to act. Standing up, I grabbed the carabiner from the nearby arm and hooked it to my harness. Time to have some fun from a few hundred feet off the ground. Clasping the device and tightening it I gave it a yank before lifting both arms. My sister walked up and examined the harness by pulling up, down, and finally the carabiner. “You’re good!” she confirmed with a slap to the side of my helmet. I gave her a thumbs up before turning and opening the door. I was greeted by the open blue skies of the Harmony Mountain range. Down below students watched with anticipation. *** On the ground Principal Celestia paced back and forth as she talked to her sister on the phone. Nearby, most of the Junior class stood or sat. Many were crying, others sat nervously. They did their best to ease their minds, but there was too much panic and worry to remain calm. “Luna, I already called 911!” the panicked woman said into the phone. “They said a helicopter was on its way!” On the other side of the line her sister was equally as panicked. “I just can't believe that this happened! Young Twilight is still recovering from the Friendship games!” Celestia stopped her pacing and grabbed her forehead, throwing her head back and closing her eyes. “I knew this trip was a bad idea!” She sighed and dropped her head. “Her parents are going to kill me!” Hell, her job was probably on the line for this! It was going to take everything she could to prove to the school board that this was a terrible accident! “Did you talk to them?” Celestia sighed again. “Yes! I called them after I called 911! But that was almost an hour ago!” She couldn’t imagine what was going through said parents heads or one of her students. Celestia tapped her foot nervously. She dropped her head and was about to speak before she heard the sound of what she assumed to be the helicopter. Every student in the area looked to the skies. Many stood while others held hands over their eyes to shield them from the mid afternoon sun. “Here they come!” one student shouted with a point of her finger. With their suspicious confirmed, said Blackhawk roared overhead. She was painted the famous Search and Rescue red and white stripes with the words ‘Canterlot Search and Rescue’ on the side behind the door. As it flew past the edge of the cliff, it turned to the right and the door opened, inside stood the repeller in his bright orange jumpsuit. “I’ll call you back, Luna!” Celestia quickly spoke. “The rescue team is here!” “Here comes the cavalry!” her sister rejoiced. “I will talk to you when this ordeal is over with.” “Same!” With that, Celestia hung up and watched. Nearby, Some of her star students, and magical superheros smiled. “Twilight!” her friend Rainbow yelled over the cliff, using both hands to amplify the sound. “Help is on the way!” *** As the wind rushed past me, I held onto each side of the door as I looked for my target. Up above students of all kinds cheered and whooped. Turning my gaze lower, I quickly spotted the younger student on a small ledge. Her back was pressed against the wall, both hands had a firm hold on the rock her legs were tight against her chest. And if I were to further a guess, she was sobbing. “Alright! Repelling!” I ordered over my shoulder. “Repelling!” My sister repeated, confirming my order. The hydraulic arm extended to its full length as I grabbed an extra harness. Strapping it to mine, I grabbed the wire cable and stepped out. The wire went taught and my harness tightened around my waste. It was all up to me and some fancy flying. “Drop me!” I ordered into the radio. “Dropping!” I jolted lightly as the cable started to lower. As I descended, my gaze stayed firm with the young girl. The downdraft was just as hard as always, but nothing I couldn’t take. It was those few seconds that felt like an eternity. “Stop!” I ordered. The line went taught and I think my nuts just got sucked up into my pelvis. “Watch it up there!” “Sorry!” I rolled my eyes. “Girls!” I said into the radio for my two pilots. “Bring me in!” “Careful, ‘Cal!” Zephyr replied over the radio. “If we get to close we might lose altitude! So don’t take to long!” “Copy!” I swayed backwards lightly as the bird above me started to edge closer to the cliff face. To the left. I quickly made my attach point next to the girl clear. I grab, harness, hook up, and we leave without incident. Simple right? I grunted when I made contact. Grasping as best as I could in gloves, I grabbed the face of the massive cliff. Looking to my right, Twilight’s eyes were locked shut. “Twilight!” I called to her. Upon hearing her name, she lifted her head. “We have to move fast! Here… take this harness!” I ordered over the roar the chopper and the downdraft while handing her the harness. “I… I’m scared!” she replied while shifting slightly in her spot and closing her eyes again. I didn’t have time to dick around. With a grunt, I tossed the harness right into her lap. She yelped and looked down at it before back towards me. “It’s the harness or the ground!” I offered. I truly didn’t have time for this. “Be brave, Twilight!” She looked down at the harness yet again. Hesitantly and very shakily, she removed her right arm and grabbed the harness. “Loop at the front, legs through the two bigger ones and pull the straps through- SHIT!” Twilight screamed as my grip on the cliff face released and I dropped. I was in perpetual free fall before my body snapped hard, the line going taught. I grunted in pain for a mere moment before curling up into a ball. Branches snapped and broke as they connected all over my body. I continued to grunt and groan before I was pulled out of the tree canopy. I looked up at the chopper confused before looking back at the cliff face. “What the fuck was that!?” “We lost altitude retard!” Zephyr screamed over the radio at me angrily. “Exactly like I expected.” I groaned. All I could do at this point was hang there in agony as we looped up and around. Guess we'll try again! *** Everyone watched in awe as the pilots, repeller, and engineer worked diligently. The chopper was so close they could almost lean out and touch it. Not like anyone would, circumstances permitted. They watched through the window as both pilots looked in all directions and occasionally flipped a switch. The engineer held the line and looked out over the lip of the helicopters floor at her partner. The helo lurched. Everyone gasped as both pilots started to flip switches and the engineer reflexively grabbed the door. It quickly did it again and again before it dropped out of sight. “Oh my god!” Celestia screamed. She just thought she not only watched the death of her student, but four rescue workers. The sounds of crashing and the helo being pushed to it limits met their ears. Several seconds later the helicopter rose farther from the cliff face and the man on the wire was looking up at the helicopter. The last thing she needed was to call for another helicopter. *** We leveled out as I continued to hang. Farther from the face and the young woman. Although from where I was, I could see her getting into the harness. “Zephyr?” “I am not doing that again!” “Just listen,” I more or less begged. “Fly us in closer to where I can see her and help her with the harness! I have an idea!” There was some grumbling but the chopper slowly tilted to the right and back towards the cliff. Holding onto the wire with my left hand, I watched as Twilight looked up at me. I gave her a thumbs up. She had the harness on and just about ready. I held up my right hand before reaching down to where the right leg strap would be. I firmly grasped the air and acted like I was pulling a strap. She nodded before grabbing both straps and tightening them. I gave her another thumbs up. I grabbed the metal clasp and pulled it to show her, I then gestured for her to double back and through it. Doing as she was told, I thumbed up again. I held up my hand again and very clearly reached down and grabbed the loop of my harness and pulled up. She repeated the action. I did it down, which she repeated, then both sides and pushed down. As soon as she finished I thumbed up one last time. “Twilight!?” I yelled over the roar of the helicopter. “Are! You! Ready!?” She sank down and back into her sitting position. “No! Twilight!? I need you to stand up!” She shook her head at me. “I can’t!” “Twilight!?” I yelled again. Reaching up, I flipped my visor up so that she could look me right in the eye. “Trust me!” The look of realization dawned her features. She slowly closed her quivering jaw and placed a hand a little higher on the rock face. Her other followed suit before she slowly started to rise to her feet. With her back firmly planted against the face and both arms stretched out she nodded. I gave her a very firm thumbs up. I glanced up at the helo. “Alright Zeph, here’s the plan!” I quickly explained it over the radio. The female pilot grunted but agreed. It was a risk, but I felt resolute with all of our abilities. I slapped my visor back down and rolled my neck, cracking it. “On three!” Up above Zephyr took a deep breath. “One!” She yelled. My left hand tightened around the cable. “Two!” Reaching to my right hip, I grabbed A 'biner and pulled on the wire extender. “Three!” The helo drifted to the left before quickly moving to the right. As I peaked my momentum, my arm extended behind me. The helo roared as all power was flooded into the engine to keep it stable. But my concentration was elsewhere. ‘The 'biner!’ My gaze never left it. In that moment, that's all that mattered. I need to clip mine to it. Time slowed. Twenty feet… ten… five! With a swing and the aim of a military grade sniper, I swung with everything I had. *Click!* “I got ‘er!” I quickly wrapped both arms around Twilight as hugged me with everything she had. She buried to face into the crook of my neck. I had her! Up above Zephyr grunted as she pulled hard on the stick. The bird ascended, the cliff racing by. And before I knew it, we peaked. I held my right hand high with my final thumbs up of the day. Down below, all the students cheered. They jumped and hugged each other while others fist pumped the air. I could see Principal Celestia dropping on her ass and hold both hands to her head. The helo oriented itself back towards Canterlot as the lift started to pull both of us up. As soon as my sister closed the door could I breath. I leaned back in my seat as Twilight sobbed lightly. Glancing towards her, I lifted my arm and ran my glove covered hand over her head. “You’re safe, Twilight! We’ll be home before you know it!” *** “What a day…” I mumbled while closing the door to my home. I let my sore body go limp as I placed my back against the door. That was a scare I could go the rest of my life never hearing again. Flying is one thing, thinking your daughter is hanging from cliff is another. At least Velvet and Night can breath easy. I'll have to take them up on that beer offer. My body could really use it. “Honey!?” Glancing up, my wife stood in the doorway of the kitchen. She quickly dropped the towel she had been holding and rushed me. I held out both hands as she smashed into me. She started to sob quietly as I held her firm. “It’s alright, Luna,” I assured. “Twilight is a little shaken, but no worse for wear.” She sniffled and lifted her head to look me in the eyes. A smile graced her features. She stood on her toes and pecked me on the lips briefly before going back to hugging me. “I love you baby.” “I love you too.” The two of us just decided to stand in relative silence, just enjoying each others company and warmth. I can only imagine what my sister in law is doing. Probably planning her early retirement or extended vacation. I picked one hell of a career choice when I was a teen. Then again, I didn’t plan on having a daughter either at 18. The sound of a door opening and footsteps from upstairs gained my attention. “Dad!” the raspy voice of my daughter said as she descended the stairs. She was still in her hiking gear. A tank top and some short shorts that I wish she would not wear. She is to much of an attention hog. I released my wife and held my arms open. “Hey, kiddo-oof!” She wrapped herself around me and started to sob loudly, burying her face in my neck. I wrapped both arms around her shorter and lighter form and held her close. She will always be my little girl no matter how rambunctious (or hurt) she gets. “It’s alright, Rainbow. I’m safe, and so is your friend.” She sniffled and lifted her head. Both eyes were soaked and her lip quivered. “D-Don’t scare me like that!” she said between sobs and slapping me lightly on the chest. She bit her lower lip and buried her face in my chest. “I thought I lost you and Twilight!” I just smiled lightly. Reaching over, I wrapped an arm around my wife and pulled her in close. She wiped her eyes and wrapped an arm around me and our daughter. Life was good. Until something else really stupid happens. > Normal Excalibur (Christian) in Equestria > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEEP… BEEP… BEEP… That was the only sound that filled the room. It had been weeks and yet he still hadn't woken up. The room itself was as bland as bland could get. It contained nothing more than a few chairs, a small table with a working heart monitor, and a bed. On that bed… Laid one human… The incident had been a brutal and violent one. Doctors from all across the country were brought in to save his life. Scars and stitches covered his skin, he was heavily bruised and his bare skin was red. It was only after his organs were fixed was he covered in several casts to reset his badly broken bones. From his neck to his feet, multiple white casts covered his body. In the several weeks he had been in the hospital he was yet to wake up. It was hard on everyone… even the nation itself. He sacrificed everything to save his friends… and it nearly cost him his life. Why? Why did he have to be so stubborn and get involved? Twilight had been wondering that everyday for the last few weeks. As she sat with her head on the bed, hidden in her fore hooves, she sobbed lightly. She didn’t even know how many times she had done this. Her eyes hurt and her face was sore from all the crying. The sheets beneath her face were stained with her saddened tears. As she laid there sobbing, she couldn’t stop from thinking about that fateful day… *** “Dammit!” the young man screamed as he paced back and forth in the throne room of Canterlot Castle. “Why did I have to come this week of all weeks!?” The young man continued to pace. Now all three princess’ were gone, the guard was useless, and Twilight and the girls were in Ponyville! And Tirek was on a fucking warpath! The young man stopped his pacing and sighed. “If I had my rifle I could end this…” He moved his attention to something else and headed up towards the two thrones nearby. “Come on Celestia,” he muttered to himself. “I know you’re a smart mare. Give me something here to help.” He filled through a stack of official looking papers on her desk. Coming up empty, he placed them back down and surveyed through Luna’s work. Nothing… He growled angrily. There had to be something! Exhausted, he sat down on Celestia’s throne. “Come on,” he thought aloud. “You had to have left me something…” he started to scan the room for anything that could help him in some way, shape, or form. He looked at the pillars the lined the outer edge. Nothing. He examined the stained glass windows. Nothing as well. He groaned again before letting his head fall back. As he stared at the ceiling, he noticed something. Multiple lines and small dots were burned into the tile. Confused he leaned forward slightly to better understand. Then it hit him. “Morse Code!” he smiled victoriously. “Yes! And mom thought I was wasting my time!” he started to translate. He quickly deciphered the word as ‘armory’. Jumping to his feet he headed for the Royal Guard’s armory. After a quick run through the halls and past various rooms he came to his destination. Opening the door he was greeted with wall to wall of swords, spears, and pony shaped armor. There had to be something here of good use. “Uhhhh… think!” he quickly exclaimed to no one. “Something important is here. But what!” he searched around the room for something important. What would work? What would work? “An inventory!” turning back to the door he quickly spotted a little book on a table. Placing both hands on the table he opened the book and started to rapidly search. “ Swords, spears, armor, gahhhh!” he slammed the book shut and grabbed the table again while his head hung low. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves. “Now… if I was Celestia… how would I do this to make me figure this out?” He stood up fully and held a hand to his mouth in thought. He smacked his head in the hopes that pain would work. Sighing and opening the book a second time, he slowly searched through each page. As he came to a blank page just after armor, he thought of something. “Wait a second!” He had an idea that might work. It was a long shot, but it could work. After a quick run for a match, he returned and looked down at the book. He remembered Twilight doing something like this once before. He quickly struck the match, igniting its flammable head. Holding up a blank page he held the flame behind it. He slowly watched as a line formed. Excited, he lowered the flame. Slowly, a form started to appear. It was a full set of pony shaped armor, with various notes around it that talked about power, magic, and various other things he didn’t understand, and, right at the bottom were the words ‘Excalibur Proto Armor’. “Nice!” It's just what he needed! Now he just had to find the damn thing. Turning around he searched frivolously. “Where, where, where?” he muttered. He rubbed his fingers in thought. “A secret door perhaps?” Time to Sherlock Holmes this bad boy. All around the room unlit torches hung from their stands. Idea! He examined the torches one by one. All of them were aged and worn, but one at the very back if the room caught his eye. The metal ring it hung from lacked a certain amount of dust. Pulling the torch from its perch he placed a hand on the metal. It was cold and rather clean. Going off a hunch he pulled it towards himself. Stepping back, the old wall groaned a popped with a hiss. He smiled victoriously as the wall slowly rotated to reveal a dark red set of armor. It looked the exact same shape of that of the Royal Guards armor. But he wouldn't be able to fit in that! Ponies were short and cuddly, he was huge and gruff. Manly! He rubbed his face before taking a step towards the armor. Standing in front of the dark metallic set, he raised a hand and placed it on the helmet. “What the hell!?” he yelled as the armor started to glow brightly. Trying to pry his hand free, to no avail, he grabbed it with the other and pulled as hard as he could. “Ohhh shit!” He was quickly engulfed by the overwhelming light as the armor seemed to attack his body. Just as fast as it started, it was over. Shaking his head, he opened his eyes to see that the armor had disappeared. “Well shit… I broke it.” His only way of helping and it’s gone. Taking a step, the sound of metal *tinking* on the floor caught his attention. Reflexively, he looked down. “Oh hell yes!” he smiled and held up his now metal clad arms. “This is what I’m talking about!” The armor hadn’t disappeared! It conformed to his body! He looked like the nights from old. The armor covered his body perfectly, and the twin spikes on his shoulders made him look pretty badass. The back cloak tail thing could be a hindrance through. Eh, who cares, he needed to help! Reached to the side, he grabbed a short sword and threw it over his back before heading towards the door. ___ “Comeon!” he yelled frustratingly. “I need to find a way to get to Ponyville!” The train would take to long and with every pegasus in town devoid of magic, chariot was out of the question. He needed to warn Twilight! If only he had magic! “Spraw!” The sound of a birds screech grabbed his attention. Following the sound, he watched as a bright orange and yellow phoenix descended from above. “Philomena!” the animal in question continued to descend before it flapped its fire like wings and landed on one of his shoulder spikes. “Boy am I glad to see you!” the animal screeched its greeting before leaning down and allowing the young man to scratch its neck. “Look! You’re a smart bird, I need a way to get to Ponyville! Any ideas?” The animal looked to the sky before nodding its head in acknowledgement. She took to the skies and headed down the halls of the castle and out the front doors. Upon exiting, he watched as the little phoenix ascended into the sky before a massive orange aura surrounded her. In massive bright flash of light, she disappeared. Only to land with a massive thud on the ground. The bird had grown to unimaginable size. She was the size of a minivan, maybe bigger. “Huh… convenient,” he muttered. The massive bird extended a wing to the ground. The young man wasted no time in climbing aboard and onto her back. “We need to get to Ponyville and stop Tirek!” he informed his colorful steed. “Then we’ll find you mother. Alright?” The bird nodded before opening her massive wings. With a single thrust, she was airborne. ___ Twilight laid helpless on the ground with her friends all around her. They lost. Tirek had the alicorn magic. What could she do? There was no saving Equestria from this! A tear escaped from her eye. All she wanted to do was go find her man and cuddle up with him. Maybe pray for all of this to end? “What is that?” Turning her head, she looked to the skies. Her eyes went wide as a massive fireball came roaring from the heavens. “Hit the deck!” she screamed as everypony dove to the ground. It came in like a rocket. A loud, piercing whistle tore through the air at supersonic speeds. They watched in awe in horror as the super heated ball of fire flew overhead and buzzed past Tirek. The massive centaur had no time to react as the ball of fire impacted against his chest. The behemoth screamed out in agony as he tipped back and landed on the hard ground beneath. A massive plume of dust and debris engulfed his form as he came to a stop. Up above the massive ball of flame circled the area. “Chris!?” Twilight screamed. She… she couldn’t believe her eyes. There was her coltfriend, clad in a massive set of dark metallic armor. One hand held firm onto the phoenix’s feathers just behind its head while the other gripped a bright short sword. By the gods above what happened to him!? “Alright, Philomena,” he said over the rush of air. “Let’s kick some ass!” The massive bird glanced back before nodding. She dove. It was something out of a movie. The duo descended at an alarming rate, like that of a massive flaming artillery shell. As they started to gain speed, that familiar whistle from before returned. On the ground Tirek started to rise to his hooves. Lifting his head to the sky, he growled. “I will not be defeated by some pest!” With a swing of his massive arm, he aimed for the flaming missile. With a massive swing, he threw a heavy punch with his right arm. He missed. Philomena rolled under the swing before climbing higher with a massive beat of her wings. A massive subsonic explosion filled the air. All of the girls watched in awe and horror as dust and debris were kicked into the air. Closing their eyes, they flinched away as massive wind filled with dust engulfed them. As soon as it died down, they forced a peek. All of them gasped. Standing in front of them, was the dark clad knight. “Hi girls!” he smiled. “Miss me?” The smiled in return with a slow nod of their heads. They would have hugged him had they not been so exhausted from the loss of their magic. Before they could even respond, a massive, anger filled roar unceremoniously graced their ears. Turning to face the giant, Chris stared daggers at the beast. He growled. “Today! You die Tirek!” With a massive thrust of his legs that would make any olympic runner jealous, he was off. *** It was there that everything went hazy for Twilight. She didn’t remember the fight, all she remembered was watching her lover standing in front of Tirek before his body seemed to give out. He dropped to a knee, muttered the words ‘Oh shit!’ and was backhanded by the centaur far into the sky. It was only after Tirek was defeated and arrested that they started to search in the general direction of the blow. The six mares, one dragon, and draconequus searched for what seemed like an eternity before Applejack and Rainbow found what appeared to be a massive impact drag far into Whitetail Woods. Following… is when they found him. He was barely conscious sitting up against a tree trunk in a pool of his own blood. His armor was cracked at broken, and his face was bruised and bloody. As soon as the girls arrived Twilight broke down into tears as Rarity released her stomach into a nearby bush. If it wasn’t for Discord, he would not have survived. As Twilight laid with her head down and her eyes closed she felt something messing with her mane. Turning her head, she opened one eye to see a pair of fingers playing her her dark purple mane. Shocked, she sat up straight in her seat. Her purple eyes immediately moved to the young man’s dark brown ones. He smiled. “Have I ever told you how soft you mane is?” he strained out with a raspy voice. The little mare’s jaw moved up and down in an attempt to speak, only to come up blank. Her head quickly shot towards the open door. “Nurse! He’s awake!” Looking back at the young man, tears of sadness were replaced with those of joy! "Chris! Don't worry the nurse will be here soon!" “How… long have I been out?” he asked weakly. Twilight wiped her eyes with her fetlock before smiling joyously. “Six weeks,” she answered honestly and sniffled. “You broke every bone in your body except the two fingers you used to play with my mane…” her lower lip started to quiver. “You had fourteen surgeries in two weeks!” she quickly buried her head in her hooves. “You were in the first one for three days!” her head dropped back onto the bed as she started to sob loudly yet again. The playing of her mane returned. The purple mare turned her head back towards the young man. He continued to smile down at her as he twisted her soft hair through his two digits. Seeing his loving and caring smile, combined with his gentle touch, cause her to smile as well. “T-Twi..” he strained. The little mare’s ears perked up with full intention of listening. “Y-You know I love you… right?” she smiled and gently nodded her head. She had to admit that him playing with her hair was really nice. “ I… I have a request.” she waited patiently for him to continue. “I-I’ve been here for a year now… and well… c-could you stop looking for a way to send me home?” Her eye’s went wide as she fully lifted her head. “B-But what about your family!? Friends? You talked so much about your schooling!” He sighed and closed his eyes. “I’d be shaking my head if it wasn’t bolted down,” he joked lightly. “Y-You or the princess’ haven’t found a way for me to get home…” he trailed off breathing heavily like he had run a marathon. “And… I fell in love…” Twilight’s face flushed lightly. “Do… do you really want me to leave?” he asked her. “W-Well no… but you don’t belong here!” she retorted. “A-And how will I get home?” he asked. “I went with you to that alternate universe remember?” She did. She remember completely. That wasn't the realm he came from,close, but no cigar. “Twi… I'm really tired… s-so I’ll make this quick…” she patiently waited for him to continue. “At my place, in my room… i-is a box covered in wrapping paper… could… could you bring it to me?” The little mare smiled and nodded her head. Smiling back he gently closed his eyes. Gingerly she nuzzled his still broken hand. “I will!” Just then the nurse walked in. *** It was another week later when the rest if Twilight's friends visited. Pinkie desperately wanted to hug the young man. Applejack and Rainbow wanted to beat his broken ass. Rarity had so many questions about the armor while Fluttershy cried tears of joy. He was alive! It would be months before he could walk again and the recovery process would be long and slow, but with his friends, it wouldn't be lonely. And Spike? He was happy that his bro was alive. As all seven stood around, or sat, in Spikes and Fluttershy’s cases. The door to the room opened. Gaining their attentions, they all watched as Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence entered the room with another unicorn mare with a small notepad in her aura and a stallion with a camera around his neck. Both Fluttershy and Spike rose from their seats and bowed as Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow, and Pinkie followed suit. Chris glanced around the room. “I’d bow but my legs say otherwise.” That enlisted a giggle from everyone but Twilight, who rolled her eyes. Celestia’s giggling came to a stop. “No, no,” she dismissed with a wave of her hoof. “My sister and I conversed on our return to Canterlot and were quickly informed of your actions and… condition…” The mare stopped as she looked at the young man with a somber gaze. “We wish to honor you properly now that you are awake,” Luna finished rather bluntly. “What you did was not only brave, but admirable.” “Which is why we want to honor you for your actions,” Cadence finished. “We know that you’ll be unable to move for a while, but we just couldn't wait the next few months or perhaps a year until you have recovered fully.” The young man glanced to the side to see the shorter mare scribbling furiously on her pad. They had to be with the Canterlot Press. “Right… so how do you intend to do that?” he asked, confused. He well in truly was. All three came because he did the right thing? Eh, at least Shining Armor wasn't here, that guy is a bitch! “With this,” The solar mare replied before making a small, black box appear. “For your aid in the defeat of former Lord Tirek. I, Princess Celestia of Equestria, along with my sister Princess Luna of Equestria and niece, Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire, we hereby bestow upon you, Christian Davis, the Great Equestria Star!” she opened the case to reveal a large silver star with the picture Equestria flag on it and a lovely ribbon, the same as the flags colors. “Equestria’s highest honor.” She levitated the medal with her magic and pinned it to his torso cast. Tears started to fall from everyone's face but the young man as he looked at the medal with a dumb expression. “For y-your bravery… in defeating Tirek.” Celestia, Luna, and Cadence wiped their wet eyes. “Equestria is indebted to you…” Celestia quickly finished before turning away and hiding her face with her mane. Next to her, Luna placed an assured hoof on her sisters withers. Chris just sat there slack jawed. He looked away from Celestia and down towards the medal, the to Luna, and back at the medal. “I… I don’t know what to say…” He looked up to see Celestia looking back at him, she was still sobbing lightly. “I… I guess I should salute but...:” Celestia giggled through her crying. Always the jokester. The solar mare wiped her eyes with a hoof before walking up to the left side of the bed. “At least smile.” The young man looked forward and quickly smiled at the camera. With a click and a flash, the photo was taken. The stallion looked at the camera and nodded. With a bow, he thanked the princess’, so did the mare before they left the room. Celestia looked down at the young man with one of her ever loving smiles. “My neck is still broken, Celestia.” The mare rolled her eyes playfully. Stepping forward she stood in front of the bed and smiled yet again. “We will have a proper celebration after you’re released from the hospital,” she explained. The young man groaned in response. “I hate massive gatherings,” he complained. “Especially when the whole nation will be watching.” he paused before looking towards Twilight, who stood nearby. The little mare smiled. “But I can think of one reason to celebrate. Twilight, remember that box I asked for?” “Hmm? Oh, right!” she realized before turning towards her saddle bags. She shuffled through them before holding it up with a hoof. She grabbed it with her magic and walked back over to the bed. “Here you go!” she placed it on the bed. He glanced down at it. “Its for you, Twilight.” The mare raised an eyebrow before levitating it up into the air. She peeled the paper away before tossing it in a nearby trashcan. The box was small and black. “Open it,” he urged. The little purple mare popped the top. She gasped loudly and held a hoof to her mouth as tears started to well up in her eyes. Curious, everypony leaned in. They too gasped when they saw the horn ring with a massive purple amethyst stone gracing its top. It was finely made, the gold wring made a perfect 'O' shape. Both it and the gem were polished to a bright sheen. “Oh my!” Rarity gasped while holding a hoof to her barrel. “Chris! That must have cost a fortune!” The man in question glanced at the pearly mare. “The bitch was getting Twilight’s horn measurement.” Twilight reflexively reached for her horn. H-How did he get that? She couldn't remember a time where he did something like that. He knows not to touch a unicorns horn because of what it could do! “W-What?” the young g man just nodded to her question. “C-Chris, I can’t accept this!” He had always gotten her smaller gifts or taken her to dinner. Always small little things. She never wanted jewelry, only books. Which he did often. She absolutely loved it when he got her a book she had been dying to get early, and he got it for her... signed by the author too! “A-Actually,” he started before swallowing nervously. “Y-You’re sup-posed to keep it if you answer… this question.” Her heart rate started to rise as sweat appeared on her brow. Could he? He made sure to look her right in the eye and gulped nervously. “T-Twilight Sparkle… will you marry me?” Everyone in the room sat in utter silence. Many held hooves to mouths, others sat slack jawed as they looked back and forth between the couple. Tears feel free from Twilight’s eyes as she watched the young man. Slowly, way too slow for his liking, she levitated the ring into the air and onto her horn. “Yes… yes I would!” > Akimbo > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Akimbo  Location: Liset, Ponyville, Equestria, Planet Equin.  I stood in front of my foundry with my hands on the edge, staring down at the two Lex Primes and other little part while the BP was displayed in front of me. I was at a crossroad and didn't  know what to really do.  As I was lot in thought, the sound of hoofsteps coming up the ramp caused me to turn me head. “Hey, Twilight,” I greeted before looking back down at my two pistols. “How are you doing?” “I'm  good! Great actually!” she merrily replied with a smile. “What are you up to?” She soon came to a stop next to me and looked at the two weapons. “You planning something?”  I glanced at her. “Sorta.” I looked back down at the two pistols and stood up straight, crossing my arms. “I was digging through some of my old weapon parts and blueprints and came up with this.”  “What is ‘this’?” she asked.  “This.” I stepped aside and gestured for her to step forward, which she did. “They’re called the Aklex Prime. Ak, meaning akimbo or dual pistols, but here is where my problem arises.” she looked up at me expectantly. “Why do I need to use two pistols, a link, and a blueprint when I should be able to hold them?”  She glanced back and looked back at me confused. “I don’t follow.”  “Here,” I stepped forward and placed a holoprojector on the table. It opened to show my arsenal. Main had my Soma Prime, Secondary was empty and the melee has my Skana Prime. “See what happens when I pick up my Lex.” I did just that and my secondary slot appeared with a picture of the gun and its name. I set the gun back down. “Simple right?”  She nodded.  “Now watch this.” I grabbed the first Lex yet again and glanced back at Twilight, who continued to watch my actions. “Here is where my problem arises.” I reached for the second gun, only to have a loud *beep* sound throughout the ship and my hand missed. I tried again with a grunt and again after that, both times missing the weapon. I sighed and put the first gun down. “See what I mean?”  Twilight raised an eyebrow up at me before slowly looking back at the two weapons. “You’re joking, right?”  I gestured to the guns. “Okay! You go ahead and try!”  Twilight rolled her eyes and her horn started to glow. As her magic wrapped around the first pistol, she lifted it into the air and spun it in her aura while giving me a smug smile. Her aura wrapped around the second pistol. Her smile faded when the second gun failed to rise off the table. Turning with a look of shock she stared at the weapon. Fulling turning to face the weapon, she placed her hooves firm on the floor and lifted her head with a grunt.  This continued for several seconds as she grunted, groaned and whipped her head in all directions. After about a minute or so, she gave up with an exhausted sigh and dropped her head, beads of sweat dropping from her brow. “That… doesn’t… make… sense!” she wheezed frustratedly.   “See what I mean?”  She lazily dropped her but on the floor and glared at the weapons. I huffed at her pain. “Well… when in Rome!” I added with a head tilt and a glancing to my right. “Ordis, please construct the Aklex Prime please? And make another Lex.”  “Would you like to use the one with the Orokin Catalyst and for me to remove the installed mods?” he asked for clarification. That was a good point I wouldn’t want to lose a fully modded and potatoed weapon. … How did I know that?  “Uh… Ordis please construct a new Lex,” I requested.  “Understood. Your new Lex will be- *BZZT* DONE WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT! *BZZT* in about twelve hours.” Twelve? I can assemble one in half that time! And I highly doubt that making one from scratch would be that hard with his 3D printer.  “Alright…” I turned back to Twilight. Only to find her missing. “Twilight?” Turning around I searched the immediate area for her, only to find nothing. After giving up my less than extensive search, I shrugged, grabbed my good Lex and headed to the top of the cockpit. As soon as I reached the top of the ramp I was greeted with the mare I was looking for, backside.  In all its unedited glory…  I slapped a hand to my eyes. “Twilight?”  I heard shuffling from under the right side table, then a *thud*. “Ow!” A few seconds later Twilight stepped out while I peeked through my fingers. Lowering my arm she sat down and held up a large blue orb. “What is this?”  “An energy orb,” I answered immediately. “It restores 25 energy and HOW THE HELL DO I KNOW THIS!?” I have never seen one of those damn things in my life! At my feet Twilight just raised her eyebrow.  “And the red one?” “Health orb.”  …  The fuck!?          > Mating Season > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mating Season Location: Liset, Ponyville, Equestria, Planet Equin.  Serenity, Drax, and I descended from the ramp of the Liset and into the grassy field next to the library. Heading for the center of town we traversed with little haste. Passing the library, something graced my nostrils. So I did the sensible thing any man would do. I sniffed.... Twice.  Then one really big one!  “WOAH!” I exclaimed, turning on the tips of my toes. “Wow!” I wasted no time in covering my burning sinuses with the crook of my arm. Nearby Drax gagged and Serenity coughed. “It’s like someone released a massive fruit bomb!” I gagged. The air reeked of some disgusting mix of fruit. I could pick out things here and there but it was rank!  I was starting to feel light headed.  “Wow! I am putting my helmet on and turning the filter all the way up!” I said, mostly to myself as I fanned the air in front of my face with my hand. Next to me, both my teammates covered their noses with their hands. Glancing at them, they both looked at me and we all knew what to do.  After grabbing them and slipping them over our heads, and making sure the filters were on high, we headed back down the mainstreet of Ponyville. But as we walked, it was very apparent that the area was almost…  “Dead?” Serenity spoke while searching the area. “The town is practically… dead?” She wasn’t wrong. THe town was dead. I’m pretty sure I just saw a house with the windows boarded.  “Did we miss a memo?” I asked. “Or did Loki sneak through and steal everyone?” Knowing that idiot, he would do something like that. We continued to look around before coming to a stop just in front of town hall. On the door was a simple sign that said ‘CLOSED’, in big red letters. All three of us circled up and looked around.  No damage, screaming, fire or… anything.  “Pst!” all three of our heads snapped to the side at the sound. “Over here!” came the whisper from a nearby alleyway. Part of a red muzzle peeked out before slipping back. A hoof waved us over. We all glanced at each other before walking over.  “Big Mac?” I question. Said stallion hid behind a trashcan. “What are you doing?” He rapidly waved both hooves and whispered ‘Shhh… shush!’. Confused I glance back at Serenity, who did the same to me. “What is going on?”  The stallion in question glanced around. “N-No pony told you that-”  He was cut off when a very loud, very feminine voice yelled. “OHHHHHH BIG MACINTOSH!? WHERE ARE YOU HONEY BUN!!!!” I watched in awe as he went stiff as a board, eyes bugging out, and he whimpered.  “SCATTER!” he screamed at the top of his lungs and disappeared in a flash of red. Myself, I slowly looked over my shoulder at Serenity, then to Drax.  “S-Should… Should we be worried?” Serenity asked with the same tone. I didn’t answer. Pretty sure a tumbleweed rolled by. I swallowed the saliva in my throat. Something didn’t feel right. Because I felt like I was being watched. A little blue dot appeared on my radar…  Followed by three more…  And a fourth…  Then a fifth…  We were surrounded. I took a cautious step back. “Drax, Serenity,” I glanced back as my teammates started to back away with me. “On my mark, split up… and head for the Liset. Got it?” Both nodded. HIgh above us I could hear this screeching, like an artillery shell.  I had no time to react when something hit me on the chest at full force. I went flying back so far that I actually left a ditch from the drag. I glanced up at my shields.  1 I had one shield. How am I not dead? My eyes drifted from the now regenerating shields to the panting blue mare standing on my chest. “Hi… Excalibur!” Rainbow greeted between pants. “You… doing anything… later?”  “Why do you ask?” I inquired with a raised eyebrow. Something was off. Rainbow was to beat, and to red to be exercising. I turned my head slightly at my teammates. I gave them a quick head tilt back. Both nodded in understanding and made a run for it.  Rainbow swallowed and continued to pant. I heard a very wet *splat* from behind her. What the hell was that? “Just wondering… if… you wanted to have a little fun?” she asked, lidding her eyes and leaning down and rubbing her face on my armor. “Mmmmm… you smell really nice.” She continued that for several seconds as I laid there awkwardly.  “Hey Rainbow?” I asked.  “Yes!?” she beamed with a massive smile and a hopeful expression.  “Sleep,” I jabbed her in the neck with my hand. Her body went rigid before she slowly fell to the left. I sat up and groaned. Glancing down, I saw a very discernible wet spot on my lap. I ran my hand through it. “What is this crap?” It was sticky and clear. I winced in disgust as flicked my wrist, spattering the stuff on the ground. Standing up, I did my best to wipe that crap off my lap.  CRACK!  “Holy shit!” I jumped. Turning around immediately, I jumped again just as a whip cracked off at my feet. “What gives?” I reeled back. “Rarity?” At least I think that was her. She stood in a very tight, rather interesting outfit. It looked like leather -doubt it was though- it fitted her body snuggly. It looked like a pair of chaps and a chest strap, and what I think was a ball gag hung from around her neck.  And a leather whip in her magical grasp.  “Hello Darling!” she beamed, much like the sleeping mare next to me. “How are you?”  “Uhh… I’m more worried about you?” I replied honestly. What was with these two? Whats next? Fetish guesses and a chance at diabetes? Rarity moved the whip to her left side and took a step towards me.  “Oh, I assure you dear, I am quite alright!” she confirmed… maybe? “I was just wondering something? You are a leader, and…” she panted. “Dominant... “ What is that supposed to mean!? “How would you like to join me at my boutique, hmm? We can have all the fun we want!”  I held both hands together where my mouth was against my helmet. I clicked my tongue off the roof of my mouth. “Tch! No!” The mare scowled. That whip of hers tilted back as she prepared for another hit.  “That wasn’t an offer, Darling… It was a ORDER!” I gave the most masculine yelp ever! Very, very manly! A deep guttural yelp, that was, by no means, feminine, before I bullet jumped to a nearby roof, the tip of the whip cracking where I once stood. “COME BACK HERE!?” she demanded, as I pulled myself up onto said roof.  “Pass!”  I bolted. Bullet jumping and rolling as fast as I could I headed for the Liset. I made it about halfway when something grabbed my ankle, throwing me off. “Shit!” My landing was less than ceremonial. Two trashcans went flying as I was covered in garbage. “Okay! Someone is going to die!” I dipped my head a banana peel off the tip of my helmet and shook my arms before lifting my leg.  A rope.  Some S.O.B. caught me with a rope!  I rolled my eyes, annoyed at the action. Lifting my leg to my chest, I pulled the rope off and tossed it away before standing, garbage dropping and dripping from my armor. With a pulse of my shields, any mess was sent flying and splattering on the nearby walls. I turned to take a step before I was smashed against a nearby wall.  I groaned, ninety five percent sure my ribs just shattered. Lifting my head, I was greeted by a sea of yellow hair. “Applejack?” I asked, turning my head for further visual clarification. The smaller orange mare had her front hooves planted firmly against my chest while she nuzzled my armor.  She lifted her head with an almost blissful smile. “Howdy sugar!” she greeted.  “What is going on?”  She went back to rubbing her face against me. She took a long, deep whiff. “Y’all smell real gud, sugar… take me!” Pardon? She looked up at me expectantly, much like Rainbow and Rarity. I was getting really suspicious. Something was up, but I couldn’t place it.  “Applejack,” I started, placing a hand on her chest and pushing her off me. “Is this what you really want?” She landed on all fours and bit her lip.  “No…”  “Go get some rest and clear your head,” I said genuinely. She slowly nodded and covered her face with her hat. She mumbled something like ‘I feel so ashamed’ and left with her head hung low. I felt bad for her. As soon as she rounded the corner I turned around. I stopped. “Hi Fluttershy… can I help you?”  The little yellow mare whimpered and mumbled something to herself. She took a few deep breaths and steeled herself before looking me right in the eyes. “U-Um… A-Are little yellow mares w-with pink m-manes y-your fetish?” I blinked at that. I mean, what is that supposed to mean? She continued to look up at me with that cute little smile of hers.  “No.”  “Oh-h…” she whimpered, deflating. Dropping to the ground she covered her face with her forelegs. “I-I’m so stupid!” she mumbled quietly. I knelt down and patted her on the head before leaving. Good thing she didn’t say socks! Might have jumped her at that!  Then it hit me…  “Oh no…” A fetish guess, bondage, Dash and Applejack rubbing their faces all over me. What month was it?  “Cupcake?”  “Shit!” I jumped and spun on my heels. Right in front of me, Pinkie giggled while a pan of cupcakes sat on her back. She laughed and snorted as my heart pounded in my chest. After a few seconds her little fit ended.  “I just asked if you wanted a cupcake silly,” she repeated happily. Lifting her rear, the pan lifted into the air, all the cupcakes following suit before they landed on top of her head and back into place…  How? “I made them this morning!” She continued to beam happily. “Here, try one!” she suggested while leaning forward. I hesitated. Not like I was worried about poison or drugs. The virus in my system would deal with it before they took effect. Reaching out I took one. “They’re made with love…” she wiggled her brow at me with a turn of her head.  I slowly put it back…  “Thanks for the offer Pinkie,” I replied. “But I need to be somewhere… like, now!” Her mane deflated and she let out a drawn out saddened ‘Awwww’. “Maybe another time?” That got her attention as her mane reinflated and she gave me the biggest, happiest smile.  “Okay!”  Turning around I- “Where are you going mister!”  “Hng!” I went stiff. They found me! I was surrounded. Every mare I had run into previously has surrounded me. Although behind me I swear I heard Pinkie say something like ‘This is going to be good!’ and the sound what I assumed to be popcorn. Everywhere I looked each of them had this angry, predatory look. I turned and spun on my heels in panic. I gulped.  There was only one way out of this.  My archwing shot through the air at supersonic speeds and attached to my back, with a thrust of my legs, I flooded all available power into the thrusters. They screamed in my ears as I climbed for the heavens. We needed to do something and fast! Coming to a stop several thousand feet in the air. I looked down at the vast landscape below me.   “Fuck!”  The roar of two more wings quickly broke the tension in the air. My teammates quickly joined me. “Vhat is ‘appeneing?” Drax asked as soon as he reached me. “I got chased by by three mares on vay back to ship!”  “And I got offered to join in an orgy,” Serenity added. “They’re in heat,” I answered. Turning my head, both of them just started at me in confusion. “Heat, estrus,” I further explained with a gesture of my hands. “It’s mating season.” I looked back towards the ground. “The time when a male's body releases testosterone and a females release estrogen for preparation for mating. But…” I rolled my neck in uncertainty. “This doesn't make sense!” I glanced back at the ground. “Back on Earth it was males that chased females,” I continued.  “When their dick and their brain swapped places. That's why hunting was so efficient during the rut… unless.”  Unless roles were swapped here? It’s not out of the rolls of possibility. This planet has a male female sex ratio of like 30 to 70 so… aw hell. This is bad. Very, very bad. Because now every female is going to be looking for a mate.  “Hey Excalibur? Wanna taste the rainbow?” I went stiff when that voice whispered into my ear.  “Drax… Serenity,” I said slowly. “On my mark… run.” Dash swiped both hooves at me,only to miss as I ducked. “Mark!” the two of them scattered off into the wild blue yonder as fast as they could while I pushed the thrusters hard for the upper atmosphere.  It didn’t take long with how fast two engines can put out. As I drifted aimlessly in the upper atmosphere, I did my best to come up with a plan. “The moon looks nice from here,” I mused to myself. Could always find a cave or a crevice to hide in. “I wonder how far north I could make it before-”  *Pop*  I stopped when everything changed. I shuffled on my feet as my confusion level started to rise. My helmet was also gone. Let see, a massive bed sat nearby, long flowing drapes hung from each side of the massive windows, a long desk sat under one of them, and a massive banner hanging from the ceiling said ‘Celestia is Best Princess!’ A pair of hooves wrapped around my eyes, blocking my vision. “Guess who?” a soft, angelic like voice whispered into my ear.  “Jesus!?”  The voice giggled lightly before something soft rubbed the side of my face. “Try again…”  “Oh Satan!” I replied happily. “Look, I know I’m late, but I lost my soul in a bet a long time ago.” I’m almost positive I felt that eye roll. Both hooves released me and backed away as I turned around. Celestia sat nearby without her garb. Before I could say anything she held a hoof to my mouth.  “Shhh…” she shushed. “Don’t talk… just let it happen.” She leaned in and started to rub herself against me. She seemed to almost be… purring?  “Celestia?” I threatened to venture. “What are you doing?”  She stepped back, panting like everyone else. A small smile formed on her lips. “You see… baby.” Excuse me? “Unfortunately,” she continued. “Alicorns are not like other ponies. My sister and I only go through heat every 10 or so years.” She panted a few times. “And it is bad!”  I can tell. “But… it does allow for us to find… the perfect mate.” she wiggled her eyebrows after finishing that sentence. I blinked like an idiot.  “Aw… to hell with it!” I muttered to myself. “Come here you!” She made no hesitation, squealed and jumped me. Our lips locked as she pushed up against me. The mare wrapped both hooves around me as I wrapped both arms around her unique form.  She didn’t have a whole lot of practice at kissing. It was messy and uncoordinated. She even tasted like… oranges? Huh, the more you know. Breaking the kiss, I targeted her neck with little pecks as she tilted her head to allowed access.  As I kissed her fur she hummed in delight. Reaching up, I grabbed her ear and pinched it between my fingers. This gained yet another hum, as I moved my kisses back up, I moved up the side of her face and up to her ear. Gingerly, I bit down on her ear.  “Celestia. Baby?” I said thought my teeth.  “Hmm?”  I released her ear. “That is an odd place to put a piano,” I pointed past her. The mare opened her eyes and followed my finger. Her gaze landed on the piano in the corner of the room.  “But… that is where I always leave my piano’” she replied with a hint of confusion. As she turned her head back all she heard and saw was the door to her room slamming shut.  On the other side with my back firmly planted on the doors, I searched the area before grabbing a spear that laid on the floor nearby. Slipping it between the handles, the door buckled but held true. “Baby!” a voice called from the other side of the door. I had no intention of staying! I turned and hauled ass in a random direction. As I went, I quickly noticed how dead it was in the castle. No guards or maids patrolled the area.  I can’t stand here much longer. I bolted into the halls of the castle. As I ran down random halls and through corridors, the place was a ghost town. 50,000 people used to live here… now it's a ghost town!  Okay, so few numbers than that live in this city, but what I could see, even the bustling City of Canterlot was void of life. I'm positive that I saw a tumbleweed roll by. As I walked along, I spun on my feet as I examines the tall walls of the castle. I never really bothered to look around the-  CRACK!  I fell on the floor clutching my probably broken nose. I groaned out in agony as I felt blood stain my hands. “Ow…” I finally groaned out a word as I sat up. In front of me, I saw my assailant.  She was massive, dark blue in color, a mark of that of a crescent moon, dawned in silver jewelry.  “Whoever opened this door is dead,” I groaned, gesturing to the large hunk of oak that put me on my ass. Of all the things I have fought in life, a door puts me down faster than every enemy I’ve faced combined. As the bleeding came to a stop, I stood up. Placing a hand on the door, I slowly peered around. Greeted by darkness, I looked back down the hall before back into the room.  A pair of blue eyes opened before the pupils slitted.  My eyes went wide before the orbs lunged me. Ducking, the owner of said eyes missed their attack, crashing into a table and vase opposite of the door. Glancing back slack jawed, I saw a large blue butt with a moon on it, a pair of legs and stary tail sticking up out of the carnage.  Three birds hovered over the mess, singing.   Sighing, I walked over and placed my hands on my hips. I glanced up at the circling birds. “Shoo!” I waved my hands at them, causing them to scatter. I pursed my lips inward and sighed through my nose. Holding up a hand, I brought it down hard on the mares moon of a cutie mark.  There was a pleasurable moan though the debris as her ass jiggled from the hit. “Again…”  “At least you're not dead,” I stated before walking away. A short walk later and I was out of the castle. I called my archwing and headed off back to Ponyville.  Landing, I disconnected from the wing and headed for the library. Probably a bad idea, but I was yet to see Twilight throughout this whole mess. Opening the door, I groaned as I leaned against the closed door and slid down it. “You look tired,” lifting my head, I could see Twilight at a table reading a book.  “Considering I’ve been chased by sex crazed females all day… I have every right to be…”  Twilight lifted her head and stared at me before groaning in annoyance. She slapped a hoof to her head and dragged it down her face. “I warned them, but nooooo! Does anyone ever listen to me? Does anyone ever listen to Twilight? Ugh…”  I furrowed my brow at her. Twilight, seeing my continued. “I told my friends and even the Princesses about the upcoming heat season and warned then to take their hormonal medication. I’m guessing they ‘forgot’ to take it,” she explained while closing her book and walked to a nearby shelf to put it away.  “Hormonal meds?”  “I don’t know how human mares act,” she said, turning from the shelf. “But when a mare goes into heat-”  “I know what happens when a mare goes into heat,” I said, waving a hand in front of me to cut her off. “But you guys have medication for this?”  She simply nodded holding up a nearby pill bottle. “Every mare is issued a bottle of this medication. Compliments of the princess.” She put the bottle down. “It keeps a mares hormonal levels in check. Keeps us from giving into our lust.” She closed her eyes and sighed. “The… itch a mare gets down below is a very hard thing to satisfy without a stallion. But… most are not ready to mate until married or ready to take care of a foal.” she turned away, keeping her tail tucked between her back legs and examining a nearby bookshelf. “Hence the medication. Generally the first day or two is the toughest because many mares either forget to take their meds, forget to get them, or their cycles start earlier or later.” She shrugged and pulled another book from the shelf and placed it on a nearby table and opened it. “Mine has stayed consistent for the last several years, so I know when to take my meds.” She glanced up at me. “My friends, however, did not…”  As she started to read her book I continued to sit. ‘To hell with it…’  “Hey Twilight?” she lifted her head from her book to look at me. “Wanna fuck?”  She blinked once before rapidly scrambling over the table, sending the book and any other objects flying in her wake. She crashed into me as our lips connected at high speed, starting one of many lust filled and sloppy makeout sessions.  ***  Celestia, Luna, and the rest of the element bearers wandered along through the more active streets of Ponyville. With heat season now is swing, the town was back to business. Many stallions had left for the time being while the rest of the mares had taken their meds.  The group walked along in a guilty silence. They couldn’t stop thinking about what they were going to say to the human. “I feel so… guilty…” Fluttershy started.  Everyone else hummed in agreement. Of all the males they set their sights on, it's the one that has his heart set towards somepony else. And everything they did to him. It could have been avoided, heck, even Twilight was kind enough to write them all a special reminder on a sticky note.  They came to a stop in front of the library. They hadn't seen hide nor hare of their intergalactic friends since day one. The hope was that Twilight may know so they could apologize. Celestia tapped on her former students home three times. After several seconds of waiting no response came. So they tried again.  The knob jiggled before I opened the door and greeted them. “Oh… hey girls,” I greeted while crossing my arms over my bate chest. “Whats up?”  All of them stood there slack jawed few several seconds. Celestia started with a shake of her head. “Excalibur, uhm… have you seen Twilight?”  A loud crash from inside followed by a “Right here!” emanated from the room. I stepped aside as Twilight came stumbling up, her fur matted and mane a mess. “How can I sex you- I mean help you!” She put on a big innocent smile!  I know I heard all their jaws hit the ground. “T-Twilight?” Rarity ventures to start. “Are… are you feeling okay darling?”  The little mare next to me replied with a giddy, almost drunken giggle. “I’ve never been better!” she said happily while leaning up against my leg. “Never better…” she mumbled while dragging a hoof down my thigh.  I have them an all knowing smirk before it turned into a massive grin. “I’ve never felt so full…” she mumbled again while rubbing her face against my covered crotch. She slowly turned to her friends. “We made love for eight hours… we came so much… I need a new bed…” she sighed dreamily. “We’ve been going at it day in and day out for… what day is it?”  “Wednesday,” I replied. “Day three of the season.”  “Right…” she agreed before standing up and putting her head next to mine. “I’m ready for another round… how about we go into the kitchen and…” she bit her lip at the thought. “Have a meal?”  I smirked at the thought or having some sexy huckleberry's. A cough grabbed my attention as Twilight continued to rub her face against mine. Something to do with pheromones and a mare claiming her mate. “W-Well,” Celestia started, face red with embarrassment. “We came to apologize for our actions… but we see that you and my student are busy. Perhaps another day?”  I shrugged. “I got the explanation. Water under the bridge,” I replied before Twilight pulled her cheek across my face. Ugh… Everyone sighed and mumbled their thanks before remembering what was going on in front of them. They all made a hasty retreat, leaving Twilight, Luna, and…  Luna?  “Can I help you, Luna?”  The mare blushed furiously as she tapped her hooves together nervously. Twilight, also seeing the still present mare, dropped back to all fours. “I-I, w-we…” she gulped loudly. “May we join your herd!?” she blurted, closing her eyes tight.  I blinked. “Pardon?”  She continued to tap her hooves and avoid eye contact. “B-Because y-you and Twilight are now a mates couple, and my knowledge on modern day relationships may be d-dated, I-I wish to join your herd?” she asked with big, puppy dogs eyes.  I furrowed my brow. “Twilight?”  She glanced up at me before clarifying. “Herding is an ancient Equestrian practice that goes back centuries. Because our population is mostly female dominated, it is not uncommon for a male to take on multiple female partners. Even though it is a semi-common practice, because Luna appears to be so interested, she has to come to both the head stallion, you,” she gestured to me. “And the head mare, me,” she gestured to herself. “To ask for permission. Most of the process is this fancy tradition the nopony follows much anyway, she is simply seeking approval to join in as my herd sister… and your second mate…”  “Huh…”  Twilight's attention moved to Luna. “What brought this on, Luna?”  The darker mare started to tap her hooves again while she looked to the side. “I may have, acquired a crush, as it were.” She placed her hooves down and looked at Twilight. “Excalibur here has been nothing but generous and he… well… helped me, when nopony else could… I owe him a lot… more than mere objects can satisfy…”  I glanced at Twilight as she glanced up at me. “I honestly wouldn’t mind if Luna joined. We have a lot in common, oddly enough,” she shrugged. “The choice is yours!”  I glanced back at Luna as I thought about it for a few moments. Luna sat in nervous silence As she continued to wait for an answer. “Luna? Is this what you really want?”  She bit her lip. “Nopony other than my sister has showed me what you have.”  I glanced back at Twilight before going back to Luna as she continued to wait. “... Come here!” I answered with a wave.  She squealed loudly before tackling me and smashing her lips against mine. As the kiss moved into something more lust full, Twilight closed the door and locked it. “I’ve always wonder what a three way would be like…”  10 years later A young girl, just shy of her tenth birthday ran out of the school house as their teacher, Miss Cheerilee, waves her class goodbye. Her skin was the same color as her father, but unlike any normal human child, her ears were located on the top of her head like her mother's. They were dark blue in nature as they poked out from her light blue head of hair. Finally, swishing happily behind her, was her little tail. Her big blue eyes sparkled with excitement. Right behind her, a young lavender colt trotted behind his older sister. Well, older by two days. His mane and tail were brown like his father's hair and his dark brown eyes shined with joy. Finally, atop his head, sat a little horn, poking through his mane.  “Daddy! Daddy!” the duo cheered.  Turning from my conversation with another mare, I smiled. I quickly said my goodbye before walking towards the two. “Come to daddy!”  Both of them giggled as I dropped down and opened my arms. The two of them crashed into me. The three of us giggled happily as I stood up. Both of them nuzzled my face as I held them. “Lucine, Dusk!” I said happily as they leaned back so I could see them. “How are you? Did you have a fun day at school?”  Both of them nodded. “Yes!” Lucine answered happily. “We did art today!”  “Oh? And where are they?” I asked, looking around them. “Are they in your bags?”  “No!” Dusk replied with a shake of his head. “We hung them up in class!”  “Miss Cherilee really liked ours!” Lucine added. “She said they were really beautiful!”  “Really?” I asked encouragingly turning and heading for home. “What did you two make?”  “I drew mommy lifting the moon!” Lucine answered happily.  “And I painted you and mommy on your weddig day!” Dusk replied happily. “Mommy looked really pretty.”  I chuckled at the memory. “She did, didn’t she?” The duo continued to tell me everything they did at school. The games they played and what silly antics their friends had gotten into in another attempt to find their cutie marks. As we came to the castle, I placed the two down as we entered our home. Lucine held my hand as she skipped along while Dusk was content with riding on my shoulders. “We’re home!” I greeted as we entered the family room.  “Mommy! Mommy!” the the duo yelled as they ran to their respective parent. Both Twilight and Luna spun around in their seats and smiled as each child ran up and hugged them.  “Ohhh’” Twilight said happily as she hugged our son. “How's my little Dusky!?”  Nearby Luna grabbed Lucine. “How are you, my little star?”  “Good!” they exclaimed.  “Good!” both mothers declared. Hard to believe I was able to impregnate both of them. Two entirely different species were able to create life. They may be different, but both arm my children, and I love them dearly.  “Kids?” I said grabbing everyone's attention. Why don’t you go and drop off your bags at your room? And maybe later we can all go out for ice cream?”  Luna and Twilight smiled while the two cheered happily before running off to their rooms. As the hours passed, I laid down on the bed as my two beautiful brides joined me in their respective spots, Twilight on my right, Luna to may left. Both of them drapped a hoof and a wing over my bare chest. Their feathers tickled and their fur was soft as silk. Both of them let out a content sigh as they rested their heads on my shoulders.  “This is nice,” Twilight sighed.  “Indeed,” Luna agreed.  Several seconds of content and loving silence filled the air. Both mares opened their eyes and look at each other.  “Soundproofing spell up?”  “Yes, we can make all the noise we want,” Luna answered.  My eyes snapped open. I had no time to react as they jumped me. “Oh shit!” Both pinned me to the bed as they started to work my sleeping pants off in a lust filled fit.  I smirked and grabbed a lovely handful of their wonderful flanks, causing both to moan in pleasure as I sat up. “I’m going to make you two scream my name!”  And I did!  > The Brink of War > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter ____ The Brink of War Location: Friendship Castle, Ponyville, Equiestria, Planet Equin. I finished up putting a few things away inside of the ship before walking out the ramp toward the girls. With the engine repaired and the Void generator also, it was high time that we left for home. The war was raging still and I could only imagine how the rest of the primes are handling not only me missing, but my sister too. “Well,” I said while wiping my hands. “We’re just about ready to head out.” Everyone’s ears fell flat against their heads as they avoided looking at me with saddened looks. “Do you really have to go?” It was heartbreaking. Everyone had become good friends to the four of us, some more than others. I myself couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain in my heart. As much as it pained me to admit it. I love Twilight, and she loved me. But I had a promise that I intended to keep. I’d be back no matter what.    “I’m sorry girls, but we have a job to do,” I apologized. “We need to bring this war to an end.” The all let out a saddened sigh. Pursing the left side of my mouth in I sighed myself. This was the unfortunate reality of the situation. My hope was never to be here for so long, but with what had happened, I cannot say that my stay was boring. “Don’t worry girls,” I reassured. “We’ll be staying for the next week.” They all seemed to brighten up at that comment. “Pinkie still needs to throw us that goodbye party,” I said with a wink. Winking back, Pinkie smiled brightly. Everyone’s smile quickly turned to confusion as they looked past me. “What is that?” Dash asked while pointing a hoof to the sky.Turning around, I looked to the sky to see a tiny black dot rapidly approaching. As it got closer it started to grow in size. I was starting to get a little worried. It almost looked like... “Excalibur! Grineer fighter inbound!” No…    Immediately I spun around to see everyone giving me a horrified look. “Hit the deck!” Behind us the ship opened fire as it gun runned the top of the Liset and the dirt behind us. Each round kicked up and splashed us with dirt as the massive 20mm rounds tore through the dirt. Once it finished it run it accelerated upward. I lifted my face out of the dirt and stood up. “Everyone onboard! Gogogo!” Immediately everyone got to their feet and ran for the ship as I guided them from the side. Running inside behind them the ramp closed. Heading straight for the cockpit I grabbed my helmet from a nearby table and ran up to the window. “Ordis! Punch it!” The cephalon wasted no time as the engines roared. Immediately we lifted off the ground and accelerated at a rapid pace. The ship shook violently as the ship buzzed us yet again. Passing in front of the window the ship banked left. This is when I knew it… War had arrived. “Excalibur, I am picking up Grinner transmissions. They are talking about dropships and troop movements!” Ordis explained in a panicked tone. “I am also detecting a Class five frigate in the atmosphere!” I swallowed hard. So far standing between us and Ponyville, were four Tenno. Pulling up a holo-feed of the surrounding area, more and more ships started to enter the atmosphere. The ship shook again as the first opened fire yet again. Everyone cried out in fear.  “Ordis, transfer power from any unused electronics power to the rear shield!” I ordered. “We have to protect the hull and the girls!” “Excalibur?” Turning around I could see the scared faces of the girls. Fluttershy was actively crying into Applejack’s neck while she held her. Rarity and Dash were holding each other, Spike had Twilight by a leg and Pinkie held Twilight. “What do we do!?” I was starting to panic. There was nothing they could no. No on this planet could. Tense silence filled the air. This was it, this was our moment. We fight for what we stand for and I’ll be damned if I fail them! My training kicked in. “Ordis, deploy the archwings, remove the tables and help the girls strap in!” I ordered. “I’m taking control!” Walking up to where my map sits the floor opened up as the pilot’s chair ascended from below. Behind me the two tables rapidly descended into the ship while seven chairs took their place. Climbing into my seat a handle popped out of the left rest while a stick came out of the right. Getting into their seats, the girls and Spike quickly strapped in. Leaning back my suit connected with the ship as my HUD came online. My radio quickly exploded. “Vhat is happening!?” “I hear gunfire!” “What are the Grineer doing here!?” “Attention everyone,” I said over the radio. “The planet is under attack! We are being invaded! The mission is as follows; defend civilians, contain the battle, and kill the fucking Grineer!” Sending out the orders the three Tenno on the ground looked at the inside of their helmets in horror. As the Liset roared by, three ships took chase. They came in like demons. The sky was filled with the dots of Grineer dropships loaded with soldiers. On the edge of town several ships landed. As the doors opened, dozens of Lancers, Troopers, Scorches, and Commanders poured out onto the gentle green grass of the earth. Just inside the city limits the peaceful residents of Ponyville watched as the humanoid figures approached. The massive wall of armor took up defense, prepared for a rebellion. But it never came. The two species looked at each other in utter confusion. One was curious and scared, the other saw slaves and work horses.   Literally. Screaming something in Grineer, a commander opened fire toward the sky. Everypony in the relative area screamed out in fear. Panicking, many grabbed crying foals, others dropped what they were carrying and ran. Quickly the soldiers started to spread like an unending plaque. They kicked in doors, overturned carts, tables and anything that wasn’t secured to the ground. “Find the Tenno!” a commander ordered to his troops. “I want them-“ He was cut off as his head exploded in fine pink mist. As he dropped to the ground his men looked at the corpse before they looked up at the attacker. Standing in the center of the street were three figures clad in armor, the central one lowered her pistol. “You want us!” she screamed. “Come and get us!” The lancers growled before raising their weapons and opened fire. Ember and Drax separated as Serenity screamed. Activating her Hysteria, she let her anger overtake her. Charging head long, she intended to shred the invaders to pieces! *** The engines of the ship roared as I pushed on the throttle. I had to figure a way to shake the three ships on my tail. Turning back towards Ponyville I deployed my Odonata to the bottom of the ship. Outside Ordis used the rest of my archwing as drones to aid in my fight. /!\MISSILE LOCK/!\ “Flares!” Deploying the flares and banking hard right, the heat seeking explosives targeted the little balls of light before exploding in a series of massive fireballs. Rolling, I quickly leveled out as the chasing ships roared through the smoke of their failed attack. Looking to the left I could see multiple dropships landing, deploying troops, and taking off again. The sound of round impacting off the rear shield forced me to look forward yet again.   “Hang on!” Pulling hard on both the stick and the throttle, the ship came to rapid deceleration as the three attacking ships roared past. Pushing the throttle all the way forward I quickly matched the pace of the three. The prey has become the predator. Banking to the side two of the ships made a hasty retreat as I placed the third in my sights. As he banked side to side in a failed attempt to shake me, I matched his movements as I lined up my sights. I pressed the button and fired. Six tiny missiles fired from the wing as they raced toward the ship. Banking to the right the ship made a run for it with me hot on its heels. Rolling to the left the ship gave its last attempt to escape before the missiles impacted. And it was glorious. Shards of metal sheared off the hull as a series of large fireballs covered the ship and destroyed the engine. Unable to keep control the ship fell into a rapid nosedive. Several seconds later the ship impacted on the ground in another massive fireball as the wings, engine, cockpit and any unfortunate crew man was thrown in various directions. “Ordis… today we become aces.” “*BZZT* ALLL-RIGHT! *BZZT*” Banking back towards town. I roared past an ascending dropship. Unable to accelerate fast enough and with the current speed, one of the fighters clipped the tail of the dropship. Spinning out of control, the drop ship dropped like a rock before crashing into the side of an already landed dropship. Shortly afterwards, both exploded in a massive fireball as they impacted on the hard ground, sending flaming hot, razor sharp debris in all directions. Anyone hit was mauled to death. The attacking fighter crashed nose first into the ground before being torn to shreds. Up above the engines roared as we climbed higher into the sky. With two down I just had to deal with this last ship before more arrived. Pulling on the stick, we went inverted before I leveled out yet again. /!\MISSILE LOCK/!\ Deploying flares yet again. The attacking missiles exploded safely behind us. Before I could even sigh I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. Looking to the left a fighter leveled out before dropping a single massive missile. Banking to the right I watched as the warhead started to approach. Clicking the flares button, nothing happened.     REFILING As it approached the girls screamed behind me before covering their eyes with their hooves. They expected the end. But I wasn't going to go out this easily.   “Ordis!” High above the ground a massive sonic explosion rocked the air as the Itzal was pushed to the limits of its power. The Cephalon piloted the wing with utmost precision as it raced past the engaging Grinner fighter and up toward the Liset. Banking it hard to the left, the wing impacted against the missile, exploding in a massive fireball as debris fell safely to the ground. “Missile destroyed, Excalibur.” I let out the breath I was holding, relieved. “Thank you, Ordis.” Behind me the girls let out the breath they were holding while lowering their hooves. My attention however was still on the chasing ship. Another set of rounds impacted on the shield as the ship rocked violently. “Ordis, I could use some cover here!” Behind us, two Archwings took up position behind the fighter. The Eletron fired a single massive missile. Banking off, both wings headed for separate targets. Far in front the projectile raced through the air before impacting on the rear of the ship. A massive explosion tore the rear half of the ship off as it went crashing to the ground. Banking back, I headed back toward Ponyville. “Status report?” The radio clicked on as gunfire filled my helmet. “They’ve taken *sporadic gunfire* the northwest part of town!” Ember yelled over the radio. “I don’t know -get off me! *more gunfire* I don’t know how long we can hold the line!” “Do what you can!” I replied while surveying the scene. “Keep the Grineer off the residents!”    “Excalibur?” I careened my neck back in an attempt to look at Twilight. “Yes?” “How… how are you so calm?” she asked with a hint of worry and confusion. “Ponyville is under attack!” I sighed and looked forward. “Twilight… you have to be able to put your fear aside for the good of the mission,” I explained. “If you let the fear overtake you, you start to make poor decisions.” I banked to the right to avoid some small arms fire. “All that matters is what is in front of you. Concentrate on the mission. Deal with the consequences later.” I looked over my shoulder as best as I could. “Your friends and the people I’ve come to know are what matters.” I looked forward again at the ensuing chaos on the ground. “And with the Grineer, any form of weakness gives them strength. Stand up, fight, die if you must, but whatever you do, don’t be afraid! Especially you, Twilight… Don’t second guess yourself and stand up for what you believe! You will be tested… remember that. Please.” Silence filled the air as I continued to pilot the ship. Passing several more landing dropships, I watched as several Heavy Gunners started their attack. Scanning the town, I pulled up a map. On it were several little blue dots hidden in buildings while the red ones ran around the area. Three little lotus flowers ran around attacking the little red ones. “Excalibur!” Serenity screamed over the radio. “We could use some help here!” “Got it!” Racing out of the hostile air I pulled back on the stick and climbed a few thousand feet. Turning back, I headed back for Ponyville. Let's give the Grineer a taste of their own medicine.  “Ordis, let's test that new modification!”    “*BZZT* WITH PLEASURE!!! *BZZT*” Disconnecting the archwing, it banked in a random direction as the robotic arms retreated into the ship before a massive multi-barreled gun took its place. All six barrels extended to their full length before spinning up. “Everyone find cover; this is going to be danger close!” Ponyville came into view rapidly as we headed straight for one of the main streets that was just loaded with targets. So ignorant. Those clones will always be dumb and easy targets. I couldn’t think of a better set of test targets.  “Let’s show them the wrath of the twenty mil.!” “*BZZT* RIP THESE ASSHATS A NEW ONE! *BZZT*” “I intend too!” The gun roared like a chainsaw as we raced down the main street of Ponyville. On the ground soldiers ran for cover while those less fortunate were torn to shreds by the massive rounds of the minigun. Those rounds that didn’t hit a soft target impacted on the ground creating a miniature crater, sending dirt and debris in all directions. Many were lifted into the air as limbs were torn free and bodies crashed into walls and through windows. Upon reaching Town Hall I lifted my finger off the trigger and climbed while banking to the right and circling the town. I sighed as the drop ships continued to land while troops poured into the streets of the once peaceful little town. Today, the streets will run red with blood. “Ordis… reload the Gauss and set waypoints for ammunition drops… I got a feeling we'll be doing more than one gun run today.” God be with us.     After circling the town completely, I got out of my seat and let Ordis retake control. I stopped and took a quick glance at the girls as they sat strapped into their seats. Spike and Twilight were holding hoof and claw, Applejack was holding her hat to her chest, Rainbow was holding her back legs with her front ones, and Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy were holding each other’s hooves. All of them were sobbing lightly. “Girls?” I said softly, grabbing their attention. “Ordis will keep you safe. I need to get down there and help with the situation. No matter what happens, I will never, let the Grineer take this planet.” Twilight sniffled. “Promise?” “Promise,” I replied with a nod. My attention quickly went back to the mission. “Ordis, when the Gauss is reloaded I want you to hit the drop zone to the north!” I ordered while walking past the girls and petting Applejack on the head. My attention moved to my team. “Everyone, spread out, use the layout of the town to your advantage! We know this land and they don’t, guerilla tactics. Let’s show the Grineer what we’re made of!” “I intend to!” “Da! Ve’ll shred them like paper!” “I’ll send them straight to Hell!” “Shoot straight, Tenno!” I finished.  Walking up to my arsenal I messed with the feed for a second before an arm appeared with my Sciathin Jet pack. Taking it I headed for the back door of the ship as it opened. Grabbing one of the supports I surveyed the scene. Down below I could see all my teammates in the middle of combat. Ember thrusted her blade forward and into a Lancer before using his corpse as a shield. Drax ducked behind a stack of crates and reloaded before leaning back out and firing at a small attacking squad. Serenity used her Rip Line to swing around a building before kicking a Trooper in the chest with both feet, knocking him to the ground. Looking down at the pack I slipped it over my head and attached it to my back before walking a little ways back into the ship. Setting my stance, I ran… And jumped. The roar of the wind graced my ears as I descended from the heavens. In the background the Liset continued its path as More fighters took up chase. But in that moment, all was peaceful with the world. I closed my eyes and relaxed. There was no war, no violence… To bad that was about to change.  Turning 180 degrees I dropped feet first before lifting a fist high above my head. Channeling every bit of energy into it. My clenched hand glowed bright red as the Void energy gathered into one massive, explosive ball. Just before I landed, I activated the Jet pack. “RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!” I landed. A massive energy explosion reverberated through the air as unsuspecting soldiers were launched screaming in all directions. Pulling my fist from the chard and glassy crater, I rose and straightened my back. From the crater small smoke trails floated high without a care in the world. Craning my head to the side it made a loud and very sickening crack. Reaching up over my head my hand wrapped around the grip as I unholstering my rifle. I held it up before grabbing the charging handle. SHUCK-KING! “Let’s party!”   > Tiny Twilight Tale. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fuck you Discord!  I sighed as I stumbled my way down the halls of Canterlot Castle. All that I remember was waking up, armor gone and a not sitting by the bed that said ‘Enjoy!’ and that the spells would wear off in a few days and that I would be back in my own time by midnight. Oh, and to top it all off…  I was a pony…  A bright white unicorn stallion with brown mane and eyes like my normal self and with crossed skanas over a purple lotus as a cutie mark. Well, it wasn’t all bad that I knew how to walk… somehow. Passing a maid she waved at me. Acting like I belonged I smiled.  Rounding a random corner, I passed a guard holding a lone spear in front of a massive door. Walking past, I froze. Glancing back at the door, I turned around and headed for it.  “Halt!” The stallion ordered. “Name and rank?” name and rank? I turned my head back towards the tramp stamp on my ass. Oh! Probably thought I was a guard.  “Uh… Private first class Calibur. Heavy Calibur,” I lied. Even I have no idea as to what is going on. Eh, fuck it. I can play knight for a day. Not like my actions will do anything. No matter how much I screw with the past the future will not change.  The stallion pulled out a clipboard and messed with it. Flipping a page he hummed to himself. “I don’t see your name here.” Better come up with  something! “I’m a transfer sir!” I replied rather confidently. “I just got here yesterday and figuring things out.”  “Ah!” he replied understandingly. “Proceed.” I… I always forget how gullible this race is. Because I literally just lied my way into the armory. Stepping aside, the stallion opened the door. Shrugging, I stepped inside.  Browsing the vast array of weapons and armor, I eventually settled with a regular set of gold armor and a short sword. After having the guard help me a little, I left without incident.  Maybe I should go harass Celestia? Get her to send me back. Or I could fuck with her and say ‘Remember that time that stallion put the moves on you?’ And she wouldn’t understand how I knew that. Hell, if I could get her in bed that would be the perfect blackmail material! With a new goal in mind I wandered my way towards the throne room. After stepping of the last step of the stairs, I turned down towards the throne room. Lets see what kind of kinky shit I can get into here. Her most secret fetish or to get her to do something flat out embarrassing.  “H-Hello?” I stopped in my tracks. A very light, childlike voice caught my attention. Very innocent and almost lost. “C-Can somepony help! I’m lost!” Well… as much as I would love to fuck shit up, I did make a promise to help others as per my contract.  Poking my head around a corner, I saw a little filly in the center of the hall. She looked a lot like Twilight. Same color coat, eyes, and mane. Strapped her sides were a pair of saddlebags. Glancing around, I failed to see anyone else. Out in front the little fille started to cry. She fell to her belly and buried her face in her hooves.  I bit my lip. I always hated seeing children cry. I saw so much loss in my life, there are some things that should not happen. Stepping out, I approached the sobbing child. As I got closer I noticed a little grey doll wrapped around the back of her neck. Must be her favorite toy.  Stopping in front of her, I gently laid down. “Hey, sweetie,” I said softly. The crying stopped as the little filly raise her head. “You lost?” I asked innocently. She wiped her nose her a hoof and sniffled before nodding. Smiling warmly, I held out my stub of a hoof. “What’s your name honey?”  She sniffled again before adjusting the doll on her neck. “Twilight…” Just as I had guessed. That S.O.B. sent me back almost ten years. The little filly stood up before slowly walking over and plopping herself down between my forelegs. She wasted no time in burying her face into the front of my chest piece.  “I-I was with P-Princess Cel-estia and and… I g-got lost!” she whimpered. “T-Today is my first day in the castle!” she wailed while lifting her head up towards me. Lifting my hoof, I ran it over her back lovingly. God, she is just so cute!  “Do you need someone to help you?”  She tensed up before nodding into my armor. Smiling yet again, I rose up and offered my hoof to her again. Taking it, I helped her to her feet. “Come on sweetheart,” I said caringly. “I’ll walk you out.” Wrapping my hoof around her waist, she yelped while I placed her on my back. “Hang on!”  She wrapped her tiny hooves around my neck and buried her face in my mane. I just smile contently as the little filly rode on the back of my stolen armor. The halls were empty except for the occasional maid or guard, none of which looked familiar. Rounding another corner I felt the little purple filly lift her head.    “U-Uh Mister?” she asked. “W-What is y-your name?”  I turned my head and smiled back at her. “Private First Class Heavy Calibur,” I lied again. “But you can call me ‘Cal.”  “You seem really nice for a guardspony,” she replied while leaning up a little bit. “My brother always talks about how guards need to be brave and bold. And that they have to be able to take a kick.” I laughed lightly at that. There are certain times where kindness is a better option than violence.      “Oh? Who is your brother?”  “Cadet Shining Armor,” she replied. “Do you know him?” I internally scoffed. Wonder what would happen if I went to the Cadet School and schooled his ass? Eh, maybe later.  “Heh, I know the name,” I replied honestly. Wasn’t fond of it. Our talk came to an end as I walked along. Many passing maids would pass by and many would fawn over the cute little filly, which only caused her to hide her face in my dark mane out of embarrassment. And each male guard gave a snicker or some playful insult. Rounding one last corner, I hesitated.  Steeling myself, I proceed. Walking along, I acted as though I was just another guard. “Princess!” Twilight beamed while placing both front hooves on the top of my head, pushing my helmet forward and over my eyes. Ow… that hurt too. The mare in question turned before smiling warmly at her student.  “Twilight!” The solar mare greeted. “I thought you had left for the day?”  The little filly shook her head as I continued to act like a normal guard, well, as best as I could without my eyesight. “No!” she shrunk down against my back in embarrassment. Coming to a stop, I saluted the mare, hoof tinking against the helmet. I was still blind too. She nodded and I relaxed. “I… I got lost…” she quietly admitted.  “Oh!” Celestia replied in realization. “I’m sorry Twilight, did I forget to give you a map?” The little filly nodded. Her gaze moved to me. “And your name, my good stallion?”  I reflexively went rigid, thankfully my eyes were hidden. “Private First Class Heavy Calibur, Princess!” Moment of truth. The mare furrowed her brow and cocked her head to the right. “Transfer, your majesty.”  “Ah!” she replied in understanding. Her attention moved back to the little filly, who had slid back down onto my back. “I’m glad one of my loyal guards could help you Twilight. I truly am sorry.” The mare adjusted my helmet back into place before she leaned forward and nuzzled the little filly, who accepted the action in grace. “Do you need a further escort?”  The filly shook her head. “No. Uhm, I think Mr. Calibur can keep me safe,” she meekly admitted.  “Alright,” Celestia replied with a nod. “I will see you tomorrow, Twilight. And remind me to give you a map.” The mare and filly exchanged one last hug before parting ways. Leaving the castle I started walking, having Twilight give me directions as I went.  *** In her home Twilight Velvet paced her living room in a panic. She mumbled various worries to herself while her husband sat on the couch reading the paper. The panicked mare came to a stop and turned to her husband. “Ohhhh! Do you think she did well today?”  The blue stallion lowered the paper and gave his wife a deadpanned stare. “Ugh,” he sighed, dropping the paper in his lap and grabbing his muzzle with a hoof. “Velvet, Honey…” he looked up at his nervous wife with a more sympathetic look. “It was her first day. I’m sure she did fine.”  “But-!”  “No!” the stallion cut in. “No! None of that!” He rose from his seat and approached his wife.  Three knocks came from the door.  The two parents turned to face the door from which the knocks came from.  > Warframe: The Next Generation. Chapter 1. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 Location: Castle of Friendship, Ponyville, Equestria, Planet Equin. I sat at my desk reviewing some paperwork, nearby Twilight was reading a book on the couch. It was hard to believe that we had been married for some time now. Just thinking about amazed me. One thousand years blows by in an instant, and the last few were rather slow. With the help of the Lotus and my various allies, Equin had become a major hub. Humans and aliens alike could come here for the peace. Most were referred to me, since I’m the prince and all. It is what it is. Even though neither of us preferred the title, we cannot get away from what we are. I married into this lifestyle and me being classified as ‘royalty’ in other galaxies didn’t add to my situation. Placing the paper I was reviewing down I rubbed my face momentarily before going back to it. In the last few years, Spike finally maned up and asked Rarity on a date the minute he matured into a full grown drake. Three months later they were married, eleven months after that they had little dragon pony, Radiance. Supposedly they have another on the way. Or Rarity is lying again… Dash married Soarin and had a little colt named Stormy Skies. Pinkie married her male equivalent, Cheese Sandwich. Honestly they’re going to blow this town up someday. Together they had a set of twins named Chocolate and Vanilla Shake. Vanilla being a boy and Chocolate a girl. Applejack met a nice stallion that is almost the spitting image of her brother, damn near the same build and look except for color. He goes by Caramel and is just as stubborn as his wife. I can only imagine what Caramel Apple and his little sister Green will be like when they grow up. Next, Fluttershy. She ran into a pegasus just as shy as she is. Her husband Butterscotch took forever to finally propose. But he was the happiest stallion ever when she said yes. He wouldn’t stop bragging to us on our little guy’s night shortly after he proposed. We were so happy since he was the last to do it out of all of us. Secretly, I hope their daughter Sweet Breeze is a little more assertive when she grows up. Then there was Luna and Discord, they married shortly before I returned from the war. She just had their daughter Eris, a more equal looking Draconequus, who somehow hatched from an egg? Shortly after that her younger brother Equinox was born, who is just a standard unicorn, except for the chaos magic from his father. Finally, Cadence had given birth to my niece, Flurry Heart some time after i had left to finish the war with the Grineer. She was a cutie and was rather big when I first met her. Being the first natural born alicorn since Celestia and Luna, it was a real shock to the world. Didn’t help that she almost destroyed the city I worked so hard to save. But she’s great when I get to actually spend time with her. So out of everyone… That just left us… As much as we… ‘tried’ both of us knew we would never have a child of our own. Our DNA just wasn’t compatible and never would be. I remember when Daring Do, I mean, ‘A.K. Yearling’ told us of this special artifact deep in the Amazonian woods that would make it work, but at a cost. Swapping genders is not my forte. Upon finishing the sheet, I was reviewing I gave it a quick signature before placing it to the side. “Hey, honey?” Twilight asked while looking up from her book. “Yes?” I replied while grabbing a separate sheet of paper. “I was thinking… why don’t we adopt?” Lowering my arm and looking up at the wall, I thought about what my wife just asked. “I don’t know why I never thought of that,” I said while going back to my paperwork. “I mean,” Twilight said before going back to her book and flipping a page. “You know how much I want to have a child.” She wasn’t wrong. The conversation came up often. She was so sad the day realization truly set in. It was the night we left the hospital after Rarity successfully gave birth, it was pretty emotional. And personally, I wanted to have back what I had started, but I knew that would never happen. I had a wife, yes, but a little girl to call my own and raise? That box would forever be blank. Placing the sheet of paper down, I turned my chair to face my wife. “Where’s the nearest orphanage anyway? Canterlot?” “Probably,” she replied with a turn of a page. I leaned back in my chair and let a breath out. Wiggling my fingers occasionally I glanced to the side in thought. In all honesty, Adoption isn’t a bad idea. Save a life or two, hell… maybe three depending on how we feel. It allows us to just skip the whole baby faze. No diapers, screaming at 3 a.m., no dealing with the magic spurts. The castle doesn’t need that. It’s impossible to find crystal cutters outside of Draco. You’d think there’d be some in the Crystal Empire! Worst joke ever… “… Wanna go tomorrow?” Twilight looked up from her book, giving me her full attention. “I mean… we have the time, money will never be an issue, the castle is in perfect condition.” I leaned forward in my seat and rested my elbows on my knees. “Personally… I’d love to see a little more life here…” The castle only had two occupants at any given time. We never wanted guards, you know, Princess of Friendship and all. The Tenno that were willing to work for Equestria kept a majority of the peace, so crime was always at an all time low. The only people or ponies that were here were either the girls, my sister or old team, the occasional visitor and the kids. Ninety-five percent of the time it was just Twilight and I. Starlight moved out to live with her fiancé in the Crystal Empire and Spike was living with Rarity. I’m pretty sure I just heard a cricket. “I know what you mean…” I spun back around in my chair and picked up my sheet of paper again. “So, tomorrow?” I heard the closing of a book, the shuffling of a body, and finally the steady clip-clop of hooves on the floor. A few seconds later, I felt a pair of lips on my cheek as Twilight kissed me lightly. “Sounds fine to me.” Turning my head, I gave her a warm smile. Smiling back, I leaned in a gave my purple pony light peck on the lips. “You know I love you, right?” Twilight giggled, “I know. And you know I love you too?” The right side of my mouth curled up as I gave an amusing blow of air out of my nose. “I do.” Twilight leaned up and kissed my cheek one more time before nuzzling it. “What do you say.” She stopped the embrace and gave me a lustful gaze, “We try…’again’?” Without breaking eye contact I slowly I placed the sheet of paper on the table. Easily catching the hint, Twilight turned around and sauntered out of the room, giving her flanks a little extra sway with each step. Following close behind, I closed the door and headed for our bedroom. > Warframe: The Next Generation. Chapter 2. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 Location: Canterlot Orphanage, Canterlot, Equestria, Planet Equin. Twilight and I stood in front of the rather small building. From outside we could hear the sounds of foals playing from inside. The building itself was only two stories tall, had a fenced in area behind it with a little play ground; that was it. I gave my wife an apprehensive look. Returning the same looked, she offered her wing, taking it in my hand we headed for the door. As we entered, a little bell jingled above the door, signaling our arrival. “Coming!” a voice said from a nearby room. Waiting, I looked around the room. A lone desk with various stacks of paper sat out front. Pictures of various families and little foals lined the walls. Some said family ‘so and so’ and little ‘blank’ was adopted and is living happily. The sound of hooves clip-clopping on the floor caused me to turn my head. From a nearby room a lone mare in a simple white shirt with a black dress walked out. “Hello and welcome to- your majesties!?” She immediately dropped to the floor in a bow upon realization of who was standing right in front of her. I couldn’t help but drop my head and laugh. “Please rise,” I said kindly. The mare slowly rose back up and looked at us nervously. “W-What c-can I do...” she gulped, “For the prince and p-princess?” Twilight glanced at me before releasing my hand and taking a step forward. “Please, call me Twilight,” my wife said before holding out a hoof to me, “And my husband Excalibur.” “Y-Yes your ma...” she stopped herself and cleared her through, “I mean, Twilight.” Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, the mare recomposed herself. “How can I help you two?” Twilight and I looked at each other for a moment. “Were looking to adopt.” *** Nightshine sighed heavily as she sat in her bed, head resting limply on the railing. Another day, another day of questioning. She always wondered if she would get out of the orphanage. At her age, her chances were become more and more slime each day. She was ten, and well over the age most foals were preferred to be. In eight years she would be an adult. She always dreaded that feeling. Being stuck here… alone… for eight more years as her friends left. At least she still had Sunny Ray. But how long would that last? Sunny was seven and still of a good age to be adopted. Nightshine had a feeling that somepony or maybe even ‘somebody’ would come and take her away. The two were inseparable since the day they met. And, in a way, they were like sisters. The little orange unicorn was always attracted, it’s funny, a bat pony and a unicorn with the name sun in it. Since bat ponies like the dark and all. “Hey, Nighty!?” The little bat pony huffed in amusement. She always loved it when Sunny called her that. It filled her with love. The love that she has cherished for years, the love she may never receive. Turning to face the voice, she saw the happy face of Sunny as she bounced lightly on her hooves. “Wanna play?” “No thanks…” Nightshine replied saddened before putting her head back on the railing. The little filly next to her stopped her bouncing as her ears fell flat against her head. “O-Oh… okay…” Turning around, the little filly walked away with her head hung low. Taking her head off the railing, she rested it against her pillow. Moving her tail in between her legs, she stroked it lightly. It always gave her a sense of comfort. A lone tear ran down her cheek. She tried to stay quiet as she felt yet another crying fit coming on. Just like the many before it… “Children!” she heard the head mare, Morning Star, call out. “Could you please gather ‘round?” All of the fillies and colts dropped what they were doing and headed for the mare. All… but Nightshine. She just grabbed her blanket and pulled it over herself. Nearby, she could hear as the rest of the children listened closely. “Listen close little ones!” Star said enthusiastically. Nightshine smiled lightly, she loved how nice Star was to each of them. There was a high chance Star could have been really mean. “I have a special announcement! Today we have a couple of visitors and they are looking to adopt a special somepony!” The last sentence caused the young bat pony to turn an ear toward the door. ‘What’s the point?’ She just had this gut feeling she would be rejected like so many times before. No pony would want her. Just a bat pony, and an older one at that. These thoughts tended to run wild. The rest of the children started to murmur to each other. “Before I bring them in, they requested that you all call them by name. Okay?” ‘Why?’ “Please welcome… Prince Excalibur and Princess Twilight!” Nightshine shot straight out of her bed. Her ears had to be deceiving her. There was no way the Prince and Princess would come to an orphanage… Would they? Pushing the blanked to the side, the young filly jumped out of bed and ran toward the door. Peeking and eye around the corner. Both of them went wide. Star wasn’t lying! She watched as the tall human stepped in first with a shorter, but tall for a pony, purple alicorn follow close behind. Looking down, the human smiled warmly at the group in front of him. “Hi everyone,” he said with a wave. Nightshine had seen humans before. After the return of the prince from one of his many adventures, the species followed. She heard the stories of the pair, Star would tell them often, without the gore of course. But she remembered the story of him landing in Equestria, how he returned the Crystal Empire, his rescue of Ponyville when those vine thingies’ attacked. He was the one of the ones that brought so much and asked for so little. He was an inspiration. Immediately the pair were overwhelmed by questions. Both smiled widely at each other. Sighing, Nightshine felt yet another tear run down her cheek. Turning away, she headed back for her bed. Climbing in, she felt her previous crying fit coming back. Little did she know, the human saw her disappear. She didn’t know how long she cried. It could have been seconds, minutes, or hours. All she knew was that her eyes hurt and her nose was running. She was so preoccupied that she didn’t notice the shadow in the door way. He watched her silently with his arms crossed as he leaned against the door frame. “Hey, sweetie.” Nightshine gasped heavily. The voice was deep, masculine, full of wisdom, and for some reason… warm and welcoming. Turning toward the door, Nightshine quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. “H-H-Hi,” she responded nervously, very nervously, “Y-Your majesty!” The man dipped his head and held up a hand. “Please. Call me Excalibur.” “Y-Yes your… Y-Yes, Excalibur.” He walked into the room and took a knee in front of the young filly. He smiled at her. It was a smile like so many others. Hope, wonder, love. The list goes on. But there was always that feeling of dread, lies, and false hope. “I saw you hiding back here,” he said, “How come?” Nightshine just looked into his deep brown eyes. She tried to come up with a response, anything, she didn’t even cared if she lied. If she lied to royalty. “I-I… I don’t feel good…” He chuckled lightly and closed his eyes. “W-What?” He looked at her, a small half smile on the right side of his mouth, “I know you’re lying young one.” Her cheeks turned red. She was caught, she knew it, and the blush defiantly gave it away. “Don’t worry… I won’t tell Morning.” The filly stayed quiet and looked down at the blanket in her lap. “So… what’s your name?” “N… N-Nigh… N-Night… shine. Nightshine…” Out of the corner of her eye, she could see him nod in thought. “Nightshine,” he repeated quietly, “That’s a cute name.” “T-Thank you…” Silence filled the air. For the filly it was awkwardness, for the man, it was a time to study. He looked her over. She was light grey in color, had a dark green mane, tail and leathery wings, the little tufts of fur on the tips of her ears, and the deepest set of blue eyes. She was cute, no doubt about it. “Y-You should p-pick, Sunny R-Ray…” Nightshine said to the man. She just threw out her own chance of being adopted. But she would have much rather watch her friend leave with a loving and caring family than herself. He didn’t want to admit it, but it was better that way. Tears started to flow freely as she started to cry for the third time that day. She was so distracted by her little sobbing fit she didn’t notice the body next to her move and sit on the bed. “Eep!” She tensed up as a pair of hands picked her up and placed her in their lap. Looking up, shocked, she saw the face of the prince looking down at her with the same warm smile. Lifting a hand, he gently rubbed her cheeks, removing the tears. “Sunny spoke highly of you,” he said softly. “She even said the same thing.” “R-Really?” He nodded. She couldn’t believe her closest friend would throw away her chance so she could be chosen. It would be yet another reason why she loved the little unicorn. She was going to regret the day they would be separated. Reaching up, the man scratched one of her fuzzy ears. She tensed up for a second before relaxing and leaning into the embrace. She never felt that sort of thing before… And she loved it! “Excalibur!” Looking toward the door, the pair heard the man’s wife calling for him. “It’s time to go sweetheart!” Nightshine had that sick feeling return. Even though she was only held for a few minutes, she didn’t want it to end. She was loving the attention, and that scratching! All to be taken away just as fast as it appeared. “Coming!” he called before looking down at the little filly. “Unfortunately, I have to go now.” He gently lifted her off his lap and placed her back on the bed. She could feel tears forming for the fourth time. Before he stood up, he noticed her sadness. “Hey, none of that. Okay?” Nightshine looked up at him with accidental puppy eyes. Wiping the tears away yet again with his thumb, she did her best to compose herself. Sliding off the bed he took a knee in front of the filly. He gave her what is probably at this point, a patented smile. “Be brave, Nightshine. Okay?” She gently rubbed both her eyes. “O-Okay…” “Alright.” Standing up, the prince turned and headed for the door. “W-Wait!” she pleaded while holding out a hoof. The man stopped and turned to face her. “Yes?” She sat down on her bed and tapped her fore-hooves together while avoiding eye contact. “D-Did… did you decide?” He stood there shocked for a moment before smiling yet again. “Not yet… but I’ll make sure you come up.” He gave her a wink before walking out of the door and out of sight. Nightshine sat there in silence as she listened to the sound of his footsteps fading before a door opened and clicked shut. Lying back down, she grabbed her tail and stroked it. Tomorrow is a new day. She hoped and prayed, she would be picked. Even though there was still worry in the back of her mind. > Warframe: The Next Generation. Chapter 3. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 Location: Canterlot Orphanage, Canterlot, Equestria, Planet Equin. Nightshine sat in her bed, Sunny right behind her braiding her mane. She let out a heavy sigh. It was starting to creep up on 3 o’clock. She was starting to believe that the prince and princess had decided to change their minds and go home. Why would they care about a sad little orphan anyway? They have a country to run, adventures to go on, and problems to solve… Why drag it down with a dirty little bat pony… Right behind her, Sunny noticed Nightshine’s depression. “You okay?” she asked innocently. Nightshine felt a tear run down her cheek. She sniffed lightly. “…No.” Just then, she heard the door to the playroom open and close. After that she heard the steady clip-clop of hooves. It was Morning Star, she knew it. No pony had that heavy of a step in the orphanage except for an adult. She could hear her asking the others for something. After several seconds, she heard Morning Star walk into the room. “Nightshine, Sunny Ray, could you come here please?” Sunny stopped her braiding and looked at Nightshine. Both shared a nervous glance before hopping off the bed. They thought they were in serious trouble. *** Earlier. Twilight and I sat in front of Morning Star’s desk as she rummaged through a nearby filing cabinet. One that was over flowing at that. Every so often she would grumble and say ‘no, that’s not it’. I’m pretty sure at one point I saw the front half of her disappear into a drawer. “Aha!” She held a manila folder high in victory before smiling happily and walking over to her desk. Placing the folder down, she took a seat and opened the folder. I just glanced over at the over filled filing cabinet. “Star?” “Yes?” she replied not taking her attention away from the folder. “Do you ever want help with the filing?” she looked up at me. “I could easily have everything converted to digital for simplicity?” “Honestly your… Excalibur.” She went back to the folder. “Most ponies prefer to see the actual folder.” “How about help?” I offered. “To at least make the filing more organizable?” She looked at me yet again. Her face was neutral, but I could see the joy in her eyes. “Really?” I shrugged lightly. “I know plenty of ponies that could use a job and would love to help.” She opened her mouth and looked between Twilight and I in an attempt to form a single sentence. “I-I’m sorry,” she replied before going back to the folder, “We do not have the funds to pay for a new worker.” “I’ll handle that!” She looked up at me, shocked. “I’m sorry, I must have misheard. Could you say that again?” she asked while rubbing her ear with a hoof. “I said that I can pay for a new worker and, if you’d like, have a large sum of gold donated to the orphanage, anonymously and possibly get you a raise?” “… Y-You’d do that?” “I’d be honored,” I replied honestly. “I believe that all of our subjects, both human and pony, live long and happy lives. Whether they be orphans… or their caregivers.” I gave her a wink when I finished. The mare blushed, Twilight just rolled her eyes and smiled. It was easy to see that Star was doing her best to hold back tears as she held a hoof to her mouth. “T-Thank you!” “You’re welcome,” my wife replied. Star lowered her hoof and took a shuddered breath and cleared her throat. “A-hem, yes well…” Star went back to the folder. “We can discuss all that later?” she looked up at me to make sure. Nodding my head in conformation, she looked back down at the folder. She mouthed the words ‘thank you’ before saying. “Have you made a decision?” Twilight and I looked at each other knowingly before looking back at Star. “We have,” we answered in unison. *** The two fillies followed close behind their caretaker. The main thought in their heads was that they were in trouble. But both knew they hadn’t done anything bad. They were so lost in thought that they didn’t even realize that they had bumped into each other. They stopped for a seconds and shared the same scared look. “Come along little ones!” Both of them looked at Star before running to catch up to her. A small walk later and they stood in front of the head mares door. This is the place where the good and the and both happen. Most of the time, it bad. Somepony did something wrong and they were going to be punished. Opening the door, Star stepped inside. Following close behind, both ponies closed their eyes and held their heads low. Subconsciously, they headed up and right in front of the mare’s desk. They didn’t say anything as they expected to be punished. “What did you do, Star?” Both fillies gasped as their eyes shot open. Their legs started to shake as a burst of adrenaline shot through their systems. Turning their heads to the side, they slowly looked up at us. Twilight and I smiled at the two fillies. Nightshine’s lower jaw moved up and down slightly in an attempt to speak. Walking up, I took a knee in front of the young bat pony. “Told you I’d mention you,” I said with a smile before winking ta her. To the side Star giggled. “You two thought you were in trouble, weren’t you?” Both fillies turned their heads and slowly nodded to the mare. I looked up at Star. “I guess there’s only one thing to say now?” both fillies looked up to me while Star just nodded. Twilight stepped forward and leaned down to Sunny’s level. “Girls… how would you like to come home with us?” Both girls looked at me shocked. Slowly tears started to form. Holding my arms open, Nightshine immediately jumped into the embrace as I wrapped my arms around her and held her close as she sobbed into my shirt. Next to me, Twilight opened her forelegs so that Sunny could hug her new mother. Both girls cried tears of joy as we held them close. In my arms, the little bat pony looked up at me with wet cheeks. “T-Thank you!” I smiled back at her in an attempt to held back my own tears. “You’re welcome, sweetie,” I said happily while nuzzling her cheek, causing her to do the same thing. “I could see the sadness in your eyes.” Nightshine gave me a shaky smile before diving back into my chest and crying yet again. AT this point, I couldn’t help myself. I cried tears of joy myself. I didn’t just have one little girl to call myself, I had two. Sunny spoke so highly of the little bat pony, that I couldn’t force them to be apart. Twilight wanted to help the little unicorn so badly that we just came to the agreement of taking both of them. “Wait!” she pushed herself away from my chest and looked at Sunny. “You know what this means!?” Sunny just looked at her with a confused stare. “What?” “We’re sister!” The little unicorn had a massive smile slowly creep across her face as realization set it. Both girls squealed loudly before the bat pony jumped from my arms and landed on the ground before running up and grabbing her sister in a massive hug. Watching, I couldn’t help but get a warm feeling in my chest. That hole was just filled in an instant. Walking over, I knelt down yet again and placed a hand on each of their head, grabbing their attention. “Girls… what do you say if we go home?” Both of them smiled and leaned into my hands while nodding slightly. *** Nightshine sat on the top of my head while Sunny rod on Twilights back. “Where are we going?” Sunny asked while looking around. “Isn’t the train station the other way?” “Yes it is honey,” Twilight stated. “But we don’t need to take the train.” “Why not?” the unicorn replied. “Are we going to walk?” “Nope!” I added. “We’re gonna fly!” I felt the young filly sink down on my head. “B-But… I can’t fly that well…” she said nervously. “And neither can you or Sunny… and Twilights too small to carry all of us…” “Don’t worry,” Twilight said. “We have the means to carry all of us.” Both stayed silent as we walked. As we approached the hangers and docking bays at the edge of town, the activity started to increase. Aliens and species of all kind wandered the area, many passed us without a second thought, others waved, some even bowed. The sounds of roaring ships taking off and landing could be heard as they either arrived or departed. As we entered our dock, two Tenno guards, an Excalibur, and a Volt. Both saluted as Twilight and I walked past. Giving a salute myself, they went back to their posts. Walking up, I smirked as the two fillies looked on in awe of the massive ship. The back door opened as we approached. Walking up it, Twilights hooves and my shoes, tinked on the metal floor. Walking past the lower area and up to the cockpit, I reached up and grabbed the little bat filly and gently placed her on the ground where she immediately started to look around with wonder. Twilight grabbed Sunny in her magic and gently placed her on the ground. “Welcome back, Excalibur, Twilight.” “Ah!” Both fillies immediately jumped in fright at the voice and ran. Nightshine took cover behind my legs while Sunny hid between Twilights. Rolling my eyes, I bent over and picked up the shaking filly. Twilight did the same. “It’s okay girls. It’s just Ordis.” Nightshine uncovered her eyes and looked at me nervously. I gave her a reassuring smile before nuzzling her cheek. Visibly relaxing, I placed her back on the floor. “Who’s Ordis?” “Ordis is the ship,” the cephalon replied. “I was built to serve the operator, or as he prefers it, Excalibur.” “The ship?” Sunny replied, confused. I chuckled. “Ordis is the artificial intelligence that runs the ship.” Both of them looked at me. I had thrown them for a loop and a knew it. I just playfully rolled my eyes and grabbed my face and laughed. “I’ll explain it later.” I turned my attention to the ship. “Ordis, let’s go home.” “Yes, Excalibur.” As the engines came to life the ship hummed loudly. Slowly it lifted off the ground and turned toward the castle. The ship started to accelerate as we shot for open skies. I couldn’t wait to get the girls home. I just wanted to sit down with my daughters and… ‘I’m a father…’ I couldn’t be happier. Now I just need to pry the shaking filly from my shins. > Warframe: The Next Generation. Chapter 4. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4 Location: Friendship Castle, Ponyville, Equestria, Planet Equin. Nightshine laid in her new bed. She was still very excited that she had been adopted! With her closest friend too! Even after so many hours of exploring the castle, eating the most amazing dinner, and being showed her new room, she couldn’t calm down. Turning her head, she looked at the nearby bookshelf. It was filled with books of all kinds. Her new mother stacked it personally. Right next to it was a simple oak desk. It was a little big for her, but she would grow into it easily. As of the moment the room had nothing else, except the bed next to hers where her sister slept. Over time, she will be able to fill the walls with pictures, and drawings and populate the room with all kinds of nick-knacks and toys of all kind! Now… well, she didn’t dread looking forward to tomorrow, because she was going to wake up and see her new parents smiling happily at her. “Nighty?” Adjusting her head, Nightshine could see her little sister sitting up on her bed. “Yes?” “I can’t sleep…” Nightshine had a feeling Sunny was suffering from the same ‘ailment’ as her. “Can… can I sleep with you?” the young bat filly smiled. She always loved it when Sunny and her shared a bed back at the orphanage. Mainly because she was so soft! “Mhm!” Immediately, the little unicorn threw off the covers and jumped off the bed. She struggled to get on the bed for a second but was quickly able to get on completely. Lifting the covers, the little unicorn wasted no time in snuggling up to her older sister. Immediately the little bat pony wrapped her hooves and wings around the unicorn. Sighing happily, both parties closed their eyes. It didn’t last long. “I can’t sleep…” “Me either…” Both ponies sat in silence for a few seconds. “I want to be with mom…” Sunny said, a hand of sadness in her voice. “I want to be with dad…” Nightshine added with the same hint of sadness. It was as though they had planned it, because in unison both ponies threw the blanket off the bed and headed for the door. Silently, they opened the door and peered out into the massive crystal hallway. Now it was just a matter of remember where their parents room was. Operation find and cuddle mom and dad is a go! Both fillies opened the door completely and slipped into the hallway. Making sure to stay silent, the explored. Coming to the first door, they opened it. It revealed a closet. They were off to a good start… closing the door, they headed for the next one. As they searched deeper into the extensive halls of the castle, their search only lead to bathrooms, or simple study rooms. They searched for what seemed like hours in an attempt to find their parents. But each turn was a dead end. At one point they entered a room with a map of Equestria and seven thrones, one being smaller than the others. Their adventure was starting to look like a failure. Sort of. They intended to find their parents, no doubt about it, but they were starting to feel a little apprehensive and nervous. The dark halls and dead ends made them nervous. Opening yet another door, Sunny stepped inside and absent mindedly flicked on the lights. “Woah!” “What!?” Nightshine said as she stuck her head in the door and looked around for a second. Lifting a hoof, Sunny placed it on Nightshine’s head and turned it toward the far wall of the room. “Woaaaah!” Opening the door fully, both fillies stepped into the room. Both of them looked around in awe. There were paintings, pictures, and other things that portrayed their father. One of them was of him clad in some sort of armor with a sword in his hand as he faced a solid black unicorn with a red horn. Another was of him with these weapons that spewed fire. There was one of him and mom with five other girls, but they were human? But, also not? They Two had wings, all of them had pony ears but their father, and they all had long manes. There was another one of what the girls believed to be a Centaur surrounded by five giant metal things. There were also news articles. Hero Returns! Back from the Dead! New Prince is Crowned! Equestria’s newest couple and bridge of peace! Both were so mesmerized that they didn’t realize that they were about to walk into a giant glass case. “Ow!” Both fell to the floor and rubbed their now aching heads. Respectively, both of them rubbed the sore spot and looked up. Gasping, their jaws dropped as they looked up at the suit of armor shielded by a simple glass case. It was dark red in color, the right arm, shoulder and abdomen looked a lot like stone. It had red in some areas and purple highlights. To the right sat a massive black rifle with a white skull painted on it. To the left, sat a small white pistol. Finally, hanging above the suit, was a set of crossed swords in front of a shield with their mothers and the princess’ cutie marks on it. The longer one was red in color, with a black hilt and red energy like blade. The smaller one was gold in color and about the size of a sword dagger. They couldn’t believe that the stories were true! “Girls?” Both fillies tensed up. “What are you doing in here? You should be in bed?” Nervously, both fillies turned to look at me. “We didn’t do anything! We swear!” my little orange daughter said frantically. I glanced up at the suit of armor. It had been a while since I wore it. For the longest time it was my only piece of ‘clothing’. I only set the room up on request that my deeds be made into a learning tool. Ponies, aliens, and school groups from all around come to visit the castle to learn about my various adventures and see the suit. I looked back at the fillies. I could see beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads as they gulped and glanced to the side. Silently, I walked inside and kneeled down in between the two fillies and looked up at the suit once again. Both girls turned to face the case as I placed a hand on both their backs. “What do you think?” “Is it true?” Nightshine asked before looking up at me. “Miss Star used to tell us the stories of when you saved ponies.” I couldn’t help but laugh lightly. Turning to look at her, I could see the wonder in her eyes. “Yeah…” I looked back at the suit. “I saved the Crystal Empire when it returned. I saved your mother when she was kidnapped by Changelings. I was there when she became an alicorn and even escorted her down the aisle during her coronation. I saved Ponyville when the vines attacked. And saved it yet again when Tirek attacked,” I clarified. “So… daddy is a superhero!” I took a small but addible gasp. I felt a warm feeling overwhelm me. I had wished so long to be called a ‘daddy’. A lone tear rolled down my cheek. Wiping it away quickly I continued to look at the armor. So many memories. Both good and bad. “Yeah… I sort of am…” Silence filled the room. “What are you three doing up?” Turning around, I could see my wife in nightgown rubbing her eye with a hoof. “It’s late. Especially for you two fillies.” Both of them looked at the floor in shame. I smiled down at them. “Come here.” Wrapping and arm under each of them, I stood up and held them close so not to drop them. “What were you doing up anyway?” Both of them looked to the side making sure to avoid eye contact. I glanced at Twilight, who simply yawned. “You two want to sleep with us tonight?” That sure grabbed their attention. Both of them nodded enthusiastically. I gave them one last caring smile before kissing them on top of the head, Sunny just below her horn. Heading for the door, they leaned against my chest as I walked. Twilight stood on her back legs and placed a hoof on the door frame and gave me a light peck as I walked by. Turning off the lights, Twilight closed the door and slowly joined in behind me. A few minutes later I was back in my room. Gently, I placed the two fillies on the center of the bed before climbing on to my side. Right behind, Twilight climbed onto her side. Pulling the blanket over all four of us, I laid my head against the pillow. Next to me, Nightshine snuggled against my chest. Wrapping my arms around her, she sighed happily before relaxing. Next to me, Sunny did the same as Twilight wrapped her fore hooves around Sunny Ray. Pretty quickly, both fillies were snoring softly. Twilight and I looked at each other, joy written in our gazes. “We did it,” Twilight sniffled. “Were parents…” “Yes we did.” I looked down at the little pony in my arms. I felt a tear form. “Yes we did.” Giving Twilight one last loving kiss, settled into a comfortable position before letting sleep finally overtake me. > Warframe: Rebirth Chapter 28 (Original) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raven groaned in agony. In the last several weeks, Raven and Copper had been dating. They were a happy couple and were often found together in their spare time, whether it be her at his dorm room or he at the castle. Either way, the pair were happy to be together. But right now, Raven would have liked to have been somewhere else…  Like inside or a freezer. Or even Europa.  The poor girl was soaked in sweat, her light blue tank top was now a dark blue as it absorbed her sweat and her short shorts were not faring any better. She had already stripped her socks, couldn't wait to do that.  Why the weather team chose to go on strike during one of the hottest days of the year!?  The princess stumbled forward before she turned around and lazily plopped herself down in her boyfriends plush bean bag chair, spreading both her arms and legs out on its cooler surface, trying to suck up any form of comfort she could on the fabric. Nearby, Copper sat at his desk, dripping with sweat, both his shorts and his short sleeve shirt were equally as wet and sticking to his fur.  "Ugh… why is it so hot!?" Raven groaned as she threw her head back.. "Because the weather team are jerks," Copper stated as he worked on his latest bout of homework. Unfortunately, his fan and the open window were not helping at all towards either of the teens plights. For Copper, it was a struggle to not drip sweat all over his assignment.  Raven groaned in frustration.  The two sat in silence after that, the only sound being Coppers scratching of his quill. This went on for a few minutes.  "Forget it!" Raven huffed. The girl reached for the button of her shorts and undid it before zipping the zipper down. Lifting her hips into the air, she began working her shorts and her panties down her slender legs. Nearby, Copper glanced at his girlfriend before doing a very serious doubletake.  "R-Raven! What are you doing!" Copper shouted as his face turned beet red. He watched in abject horror as his girlfriend pulled her shorts and underwear over her feet and let the drop on the floor.  "I'm fucking hot!" she countered, grabbing her shirt and pulling it over her head. Tossing it to the side, she leaned forward and unclasped her bra. It as well, was tossed aside like a useless wipe. Copper could only stare as his girlfriend spread her legs and laid back with a pleasant sigh. "Much better…"  The poor stallions face was on fire and his mouth bobbed like a fish. Opening her eye, Raven focused on her boyfriends horrified look. "What? It's nothing you haven't seen before!"  She wasn't wrong. He'd seen her nude before. Shit, that brought forth the memories of their prom night, where he was balls deep in her tight pussy and equally tight asshole. He could also feel a stirring in his loins as his stallionhood began to become erect within his the confines of his shorts. Copper swallowed hard, did it just get hotter in here?  Raven smirked as she laid her head back against the chair as she let her boyfriend drink in all she was laying out. Her bare breasts glistened in the dim light of his room. She had this strange aura when she was in the nude, as Copper came to notice. Save for her head, which had the largest concentration of hair on her body, there was a lighter layer than a ponies thicker fur. From what he remembered from his sex ed. class and the female/pony anatomy, she was almost identical. She had a pair of breasts and a vagina -which was incredibly warm, wet, and wonderfully tight- and had a similar skeletal structure to that of a ponies.  Copper examined the side of her face, comparing it to his. Her eyes were much smaller compared to a ponies. What of her ears though. Smaller, permanently pointed forward and located on the side of her head. Subconsciously, Copper flicked his left ear as his right pivoted towards the window at the chirp of a bird outside.  She also lacked a predominant muzzle. Her nose was smaller and much pointier, that was the only protrusion on her relatively flat face. Moving down her body, he admired her bare bosom and average size breasts. He remembered how soft they felt in his grasp and how the spilled through his fingers and how hard her darker nipples felt against his palm. Tearing his gaze away from those soft sweater puppies, he examined the scars that scattered the side of her body. Secretly, he wondered how she received those wounds, but he was always too afraid to ask, out of fear that it might trigger something within his girlfriend's mind. But it did add to her aura of power and fearlessness.  Moving towards her feet, Copper stared at the strange appendages at the bottom of her legs.  How are those so flexible?  They were nothing like hooves. Hooves kinda just ended. It was thigh, shin, and hoof, to put it bluntly. As for his girlfriend, he feet were similar to that of a dragon's claws, but hers were more complex. He remembered how many bones he felt one day when they were hanging out and she talked him into a foot rub.  There were a lot, that's for sure.  Moving up her long, smooth, and slender legs he admired her feminine form and that wonderfully nice ass. From his angle, he could see her bare mound. Tilting his head slightly in confusion, Copper was unsure as to why she shaved her crotch. Yet again from what he vaguely remembered from sex ed. class yet again, mares didn't grow hair down there. But from the conversation they had one day while sitting around in the nude, exploring each others bodies, she told him about that when he was uh… examining her lower lips… with his mouth…  "Like what you see?"  Copper wheezed, he was busted!  Raven stared at her younger boyfriend with a smug look at catching her stallion blatantly staring at her bare crotch. Blushing horrible, Copper turned in his seat and stared down at his homework. Horribly embarrassed, the stallion found it better to stay quiet and jist stare at his desk.  There was a soft pat, followed by a second as the pencil holder on his desk moved slightly, causing the writing utensils within to clatter softly. Curious, Copper turned his head…  And his eyes went wide as he came face to face with Raven's spread legs. The girl smiled knowingly as her feet rested against the edge of the desk as she laid back casually in her bean bag chair. Reaching up, Raven palmed her left breast and began to massage the tender flesh.  "I don't mind if you stare~" Raven moaned sensually before she reached up with her free hand and palmed her crotch. "Oh~ FUCK! Mhmph…"  Copper's jaw slowly dropped as he watched his girlfriend began to casually masturbate in front of him. Her moans and whimpers were music to his ears as he watched her begin to slowly rub her clit counter clockwise. Within seconds, her lower lips began to glisten with her arousal.  "Why don't you join me baby?" Raven panted as she looked between her legs. She vigorously squeezed her tit, sending sparks of pleasure up her spine. Removing her right foot from the desk, she pressed it against his trapped erection, causing the stallion to gasp as she messaged his length through his shorts. "I can't get any sweatier." She moaned throatily as she pinched her nipple and flicked her clit with her finger, causing her walls to constrict against themselves, leaking some of her girl cum down between her butt cheeks. Throwing her head back and arching her back, Raven locked her knees and pressed her toes harder against her stallions crotch.  Copper groaned and nearly doubled over as felt his length get crushed -pleasantly- between her foot and his abdomen. Copper bit his lip in apprehension before he made his decision. Suddenly feeling empowered, Copper stood up and pulled his shirt over his head before frantically working at his belt. Like the horny teen he was, Copper dropped his shorts. Raven smiled as his cock bobbed free from its clothed prison. Palming her crotch, Raven soaked her hand in her juices as Copper grabbed her ankle and lifted her leg. Grasping his shaft with her soaked hand, she lubed his tip and the upper part of his shaft in preparation for penetration.  Once he was properly prepped, she guided his dark, blunt tip towards her soaking wet slit.  Raven bit her lip, gasping once the tip of his cock pressed against her lower lips. With a wet pop and a deep moan from the couple, Copper eased his length into her tight canal. Raven went limp as unadulterated pleasure spiderwebbed across her body from her crotch. Holding her leg against his side, Copper panted as he watched his cock disappear between his girls legs. Grabbing her right leg, Copper intertwined his fingers with her toes as he began to reach the medial ring.  Wrapping his arm around her thigh with his left hand, he lifted her ass into the air and simultaneously pulled her hips and thrust forward. That action made her scream as he buried the last half of his rod within her burning depths.  Instinct began to take over.  The stench of her natural musk and sex flooded Copper's head with a dark haze. With a loud snort through his nose, Copper was overcome with a need to breed!  "YES! FUCK ME!" Raven screamed as her boyfriend steadied his footing and rested his knees against the soft surface of the bean bag chair. She threw her head back in utter bliss as he stared down at their union. Panting, the stallions breath tickled Raven's wet skin and burning loins, adding a pleasant tingle to their action.  Copper moaned when he felt her clamp down on his prick. With a hot snort and a soft breeding whinny, Copper tightened his grip and began to mercilessly pound his girl into the chair. The wet slaps of their now soaked crotches echoed throughout the room and possibly leaked out the open window for anypony to hear.  Raven continued to moan like a whore as she tightened her abdominal muscles around the invading shaft of her boyfriend. There was she just loved when her stallion just let lose. The usually shy and easy to fluster pony was nonexistent when he really got into his sexual side. He enjoyed being in charge. Perhaps it was because he trusted her so much. He felt confident that she would laugh at his action or strike him. He he felt safe, loved, and empowered.  He also enjoyed making her smile, feel good, and sexy. He loved how she moaned and whimpered with each thrust. The way she would arch her back when he found that special place within her vagina. Or the way she squirmed when he fingered her or how she groped her wonderful breasts.  "Ri-i-i-ight there!" Raven squeaked as he found that special spot. Adjusting his grip on her right thigh, the young stud pumped his hips furiously, dragging the flat tip of his penis against her g-spot. Rave threw her head back with another haughty moan as she grasped both of her bouncing tits with her hand, pinching her nipples between her thumb and index fingers. That's when she reached her limit.  Raven's entire body went tense as her tight passage clamped around Copper's penis. The poor stallion groaned as his length throbbed within the warm confines of Raven's cunt. His tip flared against her cervix, making an airtight seal as his aching balls churned with his seed. Like a firehose, the first shot of Copper's cum plastered the back of Raven's womb. The girl continued to moan as she felt her womb bulging at the seams as he filled her to the brim with his baby batter.  Both of them were so happy it wasn't heat season.  Twice a year ponies become fertile.  This was not one of those times because most of the year, ponies were infurtile. Meaning that stallions didn't need to wear a condom. Also meaning that the sex was glorious. Further meaning that both the human and her alien boyfriend could enjoy the spoils of their illicit activity in utter bliss. With a groan and a wet sucking sound, the stallion pulled his glazed cock from betwixt his girlfriends legs. Raven went limp as she felt her boyfriends jizz leak out of her slit and run down between her butt cheeks, pooling on the seat below.  Leaning down, Copper got nice and close to Raven's leaking slit. Surveying his work, the stallion nodded, pleased at his work as he went and sat down in his chair. As the haze of sexual fog began to fade, the cool surface felt wonderful against his ass and dick. Raven sighed pleasantly as she basked in the afterglow of her climax. Weakly, Raven rolled over as she felt her sweat soaked back cool in the air. Resting her head on her arms, she closed her eye and relaxed.  Copper on the other hand, continued to stare between her legs, watching as his cum leaked from her slit and pooled on the chair. It was going to stain for sure. But it was so worth it.  He continued to stare.  Blinking, the tan stallion glanced down, and was somewhat shocked to see his erection had returned in full.  Raven gasped when she felt her lover's rock hard erection hotdog itself between her ass cheeks. "Hellooooo~" she giggled as she felt his knees rest against her thighs. "Well big boy… where do you want it?" she asked as she rubbed her cheeks against his glazed shaft.  "Uhhh." Now he suddenly felt self conscious. "Can… can I do you… butt?"  "Well…" she glanced over her shoulder and smirked at him. "Put it in then!"  With a deep, calming breath, Copper grasped his shaft with one hand and spread her cheek with the other. Pressing his blunt tip against her puckered star, he pressed on.  "Ah!" she yelped when she felt his thick shaft enter her rectum. It was such an alien feeling, it sent a pleasant chill up her spine. Grabbing two fist fulls of the soft chair, Raven squirmed and moaned as her back arched into the chair.  Then came the medial ring.  She could feel its edges tickling her cheeks. "Do it," she urged. With a nod, Copper rested his palms against her shoulder blades and pressed his hips forward. "AH!" Raven yelped into the chair as she felt her sphincter finally give way. She moaned throatily when she felt his crotch rest against her smooth cheeks.  Resting his weight against her back, Copper pulled his hips back until just the tip of his dick remained. He began humping in earnest, fucking her rectum without restraint. "Oh… shit… mhmmm! That feels strangely satisfying!" She bit her lower lip, panting and moaning throatily. She shivered in delight as she did her best to move her hips back and forth to meet his thrusts. She gasped on one particularly hard thrust, clenching hard around his length. As his thrusts grew more erratic and with greater vigor.  As she gripped the edge of soft cushion, her boyfriend adjusted his hands as well. Resting one hand between her shoulder blades he grasped one of her breasts, roughly messaging and pinching her swollen nipple. The pair could feel their impending orgasms as wet, meaty slaps echoed throughout the room as he plunged into his mare.  Then, the door to the room clicked and opened. "Hey Copper, I was wondering if-"  Both lovers gasped, eyes going as wide as saucers. "Oh fuck!" Raven cursed as her boyfriend hilted himself all the way in her sphincter.  > Warframe: Rebirth Chapter 29 (Original) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the few months Raven and Copper have been dating their sexcipades seemed to almost happen left and right. Ever since their first experiment since their first date, it seemed like everytime they were alone they got frisky. There was a lot of groping, casual nudity, mutual masterbation, and sex of course. Most of it happened at Copper’s dorm when his roommate was gone, but there were a few times they did it in her room at the castle. Other times during their breaks between classes, they would sneak off to their little hidey hole and make love.  During the spring when the temperature began to increase, and when Copper’s roommate was gone for a day or the weekend, Raven would go and spend time with him, often closing the door so that they could relax in their underwear. Even in the heat they would snuggle together on his beanbag chair while they read papers or worked on homework. But being that scantily clad, it wouldn't take long for hands to wander. She’d jerk him off, he’d finger her, she’d suck him, and he’d eat her out.  They were horny tennagers, nothing new, really.  It wasn’t until one hot afternoon, when the Canterlot Weather Team had gone on strike due to some sort of law, regulation, or rule, that they came to the realization that they may need to tone down the amount of sex they were having. It was during their first experience with anal that everything came crashing down. There they were, buck ass nude, with Copper buried balls deep in her ass, that Copper’s roommate suddenly came home. Only to find Copper thrusting into his princess from behind on his bean bag chair while they faced the door. Thankfully it was only Copper’s roommate and nopony else. In their panic, Raven blasted the poor stallion out the door and slammed it before she shouted at Copper to finish.  He did, much to his immediate embarrassment.  They were quick to extricate themselves from one another and get dressed before letting the more enthusiastic and proud stallion in the room. He had nothing but praise for Copper. Unfortunately for the tan stallion, Copper had this strange personality, as he liked to put it. He was easily embraced and often rather quiet. But when his girlfriend was around, there was something about her that made him want to have sex with her. Perhaps it was instinct, or maybe something else, he wasn’t sure. All he knew was that he absolutely loved sex. But this was one of those times where he was second guessing his decision.               "Come on!" Raven urged as she padded along down the corridor that lead to the royal bath. She was eager to get clean after being soaked in sweat after her earlier workout.  "I don't know about this…"  "Don't be a baby!" the girl teased as she jogged along, quickly gaining ground down the hallway. Not too far behind her, her boyfriend followed her, constantly looking over his shoulder and back down the hall towards her room to make sure they were still alone. Earlier that morning, the young stallion had agreed to join his marefriend for an early morning workout out on their day off, but after an hours work of exercise, both of them were coated in sweat. It was clear that a bath was in order and they decided that a bath was in order. Raven didn't hesitate to strip nude and after some convincing, she got Copper to join her.  Now the pair of nude teens ran down the long, private corridor that lead to the bath. While eager to shower and it being their main priority, Raven was in need of a good fuck too. Ever since her and her boyfriend started banging, she desperately wanted to do it in the royal bath. There was just a desire she wanted to fulfill!  "But what if somepony sees us!" Copper whisper-shouted.  "It's too late for mom," Raven assured. "She's in court and only the royal family is allowed in here!" Just as she finished her statement, did the girl enter the main bath. She knew that Blueblood was out of the castle and Cadance was nowhere to be seen, so she didn't hesitate to toss her towel to the side and dive into the baths warm, crystal clear water with a splash. The bath was built like a giant pool after all. Copper though, entered the well lit room not long after hearing her jumping into the water. But as soon as he entered the vast room, he gawked at the sheer size of the bath. It was almost like an olympic pool, but not quite as big. White and blue tile  lined the walls and floor while a pair of hot tubs sat near the deep end of the pool, and a sauna sat not too far away from them as well. The only difference that even remotely identified it as a bath was that the water was constantly being cycled through the bath and not stagnant like a pool. It lacked chlorine as well, just regular water that was heated. As he stood there dumbfounded, Raven popped up out of the water, tossing her hair back with one hand.  “I don’t know…”  The nude teen rolled her eye, but smiled nonetheless. She still had an ace up her nonexistent sleeve after all. One of the original reasons she dragged him here was with the full intention of rutting him. She swam over to the edge and smiled up at her still nervous boyfriend. He continued to look around the bath like a lost puppy, holding his towel in front of his groin to hide his shame. “Copper trust me, no one is coming.” But when he still failed to move, she rolled her eye again, this time in frustration. “GET IN THE POOL COPPER!” He squeaked, dropped his towel and immediately jumped in water.  “What a wuss…” Raven said with a gentle shake of her head just before he surfaced, but she made sure to smile and laughed softly at his antics. Not a second later he surfaced, blowing out a small stream of water. “Now was that so hard?” she whispered as she delicately wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling her naked body tight against his own. A shiver ran up the young stallions spine as he felt her smooth skin and stiff nipples press against his soft fur. Raven’s eye fluttered as she felt his penis begin to harden between her legs, kissing her slit . Wrapping one arm around her waist, he used the other to push both himself and her towards the wall.  “Ah!” she moaned, wrapping her legs tight around the back of his thighs as he began to pepper her neck with kisses. The tip of his cock poked her belly button as he released her, grabbing the edge of the bath with both hands. She tightened her grip on his body as he started humping her belly. The feeling of his hardened erection dragging across her skin made her body tingle and her nethers burn with desire. Through her lust driven haze, she reached up and grabbed a fist full of his hair and pulled his head back, not enough to hurt though, and looked him in the eye. “Fuck me!”  Copper gave her a lustful smile before he pulled back and adjusted his hips. Both of them gasped when their most private of body parts touched. Her lower lips spread around the intrusion, welcoming it into her warm, welcoming depths.  They heard the light clip clop of hooves from down another corridor…  Both teens froze, going stiff with pure terror. "Pull out!" Raven whisper shouted in her panic. She inhaled sharply at the feeling of her boyfriends penis retreat from her slit, but still pushed him away. She used her abilities to grab some soap and other toiletries and make it look natural. The pair started frantically cleaning themselves. The male of the two turned around, finding it to be the best position to hide his erection.  Raven glared down the hallway from where she heard the distinct clip clop of hooves. She had already been busted once having sex with her boyfriend, but his roommate obviously wasn't going to spill the beans about thier activities. If it was a maid she would explode. If it was Blueblood…  She'd probably kill him this time.  No, she would kill him.  But the pair that came out of the corridor made the one eyed teen do a very serious doubletake. "Cadance! What are you doing here?"  The teen in question squeaked, immediately holding her towel in front of her furiously blushing face. Next to her, a certain white stallion yelped, jumped, and lost his footing slamming back first against the stone floor of the bath. As he groaned in pain, Raven continued to stare at her cousin in confusion. "Why are you in a swimsuit anyway? This is the bath after all."  Cadance lowered her towel, revealing the light blue top of her bikini. "W-Well Shiny and I wanted to take a bath b-but- Raven! You're naked!" Said teen crawled out of the bath in all her naked glory, ignoring the protests of her cousin. "It's the bath," Raven reiterated before taking the towel from Cadance's grip, tossing it to the side. "You're supposed to be naked. Now lose the suit!"  “Raven no wait! Raven what are you-RAVEN!” Cadance continued to shout and protest when her wet and naked cousin grabbed her around the waist and immediately grabbed Cadance’s top and peeled it if from her breasts, tossing it well out of reach. Now with her tits hanging out for all to see, she palmed her breasts, trying to cover up her darker nipples. Raven was quick to grab the mares bottom and with a flick of her wrist, spun the poor girl around. Cadance was a pink blur as Raven held up her bikini bottom. Cadance stumbled along in her dizziness, no longer hiding her body as her brain was more focused on staying standing. With a quick shake of her head, Cadance glanced down at her naked body and screamed in absolute embarrassment. “Get in the pool!” Raven shouted as she cut off Cadance’s scream with a swift kick to the gut. The mare grunted as she stumbled back and fell into the water with a less than graceful backflop. Nearby, Shining Armor swore he was dreaming. He just saw the princesses naked!          “Come here!” “AH!” the stallion yelped when a pair of hands wrapped around his trunks and with a single yank, he arched around through the air before he too, was tossed into the pool. And just like Cadance, his trunks came off in Raven’s hands. She lazily dropped them on the floor and jumped in the bath feet first and paddled her way towards Copper. Who was on the opposite wall, watching the whole thing. She would have thought he was embarrassed, but he looked more concerned, more than anything. “That was mean…” he said softly once Raven was close enough.  “Well that's what they get for killing the mood,” Raven pouted as she turned around in the water and crossed her arms indignantly. “I just wanted to be alone with you…” Copper glanced down at the water trying to think of the best response, but found it best to just wrap his arms around her. He gently pulled her into a loving hug as he kissed the back of her head.    "Uhm…" Cadance said nervously as she tapped the tips of her fingers together. "Have you and Copper, you know…" the pink princess made a loop with her fingers and pushed her straight pointer finger through it.  Raven knew what Cadance was insinuating, but she still gave her a confused look. "Yeah," Raven replied. "All the time, actually. Feels amazing!"  Cadance blushed furiously but continued to ask questions, "Do you have any tips?"  "Well you almost witnessed a live demonstration," Raven admitted with a hint of annoyance. "We were just getting started when you interrupted us!"  "S-Sorry!"  Raven waved it off. "It's fine, but I can do you one better if you'd like? How lewd do you want to get?'  Cadance was very unsure as her entire face was now blood red with embarrassment. The usually confident princess was now hiding the lower part of her head in the water. She continued to debate her answer for a while in her head before she pulled her mouth out just above the surface of the water. "Shining and I haven't done it yet, so the more in depth the better?"  Raven nodded as she glanced back at the two handsome young stallions conversing on the far side of the pool. "Copper, Shing, could you please come here?" she called. Both stallions ears swiveled back first before they turned their heads towards the girl. They glanced at each other before Shing shrugged before they pushed off the wall and swam towards their lovers.  "Yes Sweetie?" Copper greeted once he was close enough.  "Follow me," she ordered as she headed towards the shallower end of the bath. Cadance was quick to follow suit while the two stallions did the same after a moment of hesitation. Once they were at the wall, Raven stood up, letting her breasts glisten in the light while her mound lay hidden under the water's surface. Copper stared at his girls bountiful chest while Shiny averted his gaze. Raven grabbed Cadance by the should and helped her up as well before she whispered in her cousin's ear.  Cadance's lips trembled  but her internal excitement got the best of her. She nodded and swallowed her nervousness and put on a brave front. "Shiny?"  "Yes?" he replied, his gaze still looking down at the water.  "Could you… could you… Will you make love to me?"  His head couldn't move any faster as his gaze snapped towards his marefriend. Cadance made sure to put on her best front,giving him the biggest puppy dog eyes as she held her hands together down below the water's surface and bending her knee as a show of her nervousness. He glanced at Raven, who was hugging her coltfriend and whispering into his eas while her right arm moved back and forth, her hand clearly stroking something under the water. She spared him a glance and nodded before nibbling on Copper's ear. The white stallion licked his suddenly dry lips as he slowly stood up out of the water. The two inexperienced individuals were slow to embrace each other but when they did, that fire in their loins was ignited.  They kissed one another with a ferocity they never once had before now. She reached up and wrapped her arms around the back of his neck while he reached around and cupped her cutie marks, groping her beautiful heart shaped ass. They moaned into each other's mouths as she pulled his chiseled form tight into her bosom, welcoming the feeling of his pecs rubbing against her stiff nipples. He moaned into her mouth at the feeling of her soft fur and taught belly rubbing along the underside of her rapidly growing length. Reflexively, Shining began to dry hump her belly, tickling her belly button with the tip of his penis while simultaneously forcing her to hump him as well.  Neither seemed to mind as he smeared his precum on her stomach.  "Now before you get to excited," Raven said from nearby. The sounds of splashing could be heard before a wet splat followed suit. Both Cadance and Shining reluctantly broke their kiss. They shared a lidded gaze together while Cadance bit her lip and glanced down at his equipment. "Mhmmm… keep doing that," she whispered huskily. He nodded and began to fuck her tummy while they looked over at Raven. The girl was now sitting on the edge of the pool, using her feet to stimulate her coltfriend.  "There'll be plenty of time to fuck, bit first we need to get you prepared Cadance," Raven explained as she gestured towards the pools edge. "Sit."  The couple reluctantly released one another while Cadance turned around and headed towards the ledge. She was quick to hop up and sit down, shivering at the cool sensation of the concrete on her butt and steaming nethers. "Now," Raven continued as she shifted her gaze towards Copper, giving him and approving nod. He smiled as he kneeled down in the water while she spread her legs. Copper lifted them and rested them on his shoulders as he went to town on her slit. She mewled not so softly as she leaned back on her hands. "Be gentle Shining," she gasped her warning before she bit her lip.  The two other ponies in the room were both embarrassed and terribly aroused as they watched Copper mouth fuck Raven. Cadance and Shining glanced at each other and immediately averted their gazes. Raven yelped out a moan as she palmed her breast, messaging her nipple through her fingers. Cadance and Shining shared another nervous glance before she gave him the smallest of reassuring smiles. Ignoring the lewd slurping nearby, Shining kneeled down into the water while Cadance slowly spread her legs, wrapping her toned thighs around his head.  Now Shining had already seen her slit earlier -and he loved it- when Raven stripped of her suit, but now he had an unobstructed view of her delicate pink flower. Her lower lips were a darker shade of pink and were puffy and engorged. While her clit poked out from between her folds, eager for attention. It was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen and was thrilled that she would allow him to bear witness to her most private of areas.  He had to taste it.  That's what he did.  "Oh fuck!" Cadance yelped at the wonderful sensation coursing through her body right now. The mare panted loudly as she tried to keep her composure but it was all for naught. The pink princess fell back, writhing in unadulterated pleasure she had never felt in her entire life! She was quick to palm her breasts, recklessly messaging the mounds of tit flesh as she squirmed in her stallions grasp. She locked her ankles behind his head burying the white stallions muzzle deeper into her moist canal. Her wings snapped out, wildly flapping and slapping the wet concrete as her brain began to melt.  Shining, now as hard as a steel rod, could only smile and listen as his mare overloaded with the pleasure he was giving her. The two stallions continued to make out with their marefriends slits. Copper quickly narrowed in on Raven’s clitoris, suckling it on just the way she liked it. “Shining,” Raven panted, biting her lip as she tightened her thighs around Copper’s head. By know, she was kneading her breast aggressively, making sure to pay close attention to stiff nipple.
