Lucky's Seven: The Changeling Hunters

by Lucky424


.....doesn't always stay in Los Pegasus

“Sounds like a Changeling. I'm guessing that's what it was anyway.”

“It was sir, but we didn't find out till that night. I spent the rest of the afternoon watching it watch us, doing my best not to let it know that I had seen it. I was alert for an attack, but none came. Fluttershy was a wonder helping all the stressed animals, even going so far as to give all the bears massages....and that's when the sun started to disappear. We had dinner with the zoo staff, and made our way back to the hotel, again being followed, but I allowed it this time.”

“Why did you let yourself be followed?”

“Well sir, if it was just some reporters, then they were probably trying to find out where we were staying. If it was the Changelings....you'll have to ask Sergeant 'Cut Off' Starfyre....”

I looked across at the other pegasus and he just stared at the floor. After a few minutes, a cyan hoof lifted his muzzle up and pulled it towards her. “Are you going to tell him then? Your punishment may be reduced if you do. But now you tell him everything.”

I watched as he squirmed in his seat. Clearly this was not something he wanted to talk about, but Dash's unspoken threat made him talk.

“We had just finished getting washed up, preparing to go out for the night, when Streak and Fluttershy” 'SMACK' “Hey, what was that for?”

Lady Fluttershy.”

“But Dash.....” I watched as his argument fell flat against the stern look he was receiving. “Fine...as I was saying, Streak and Lady Fluttershy returned just before a voice came out of the bathroom....”


“Fluttershy, is that you back? I could really use your opinion on something.”

The yellow mare just trotted over to the door and poked her head in, before gasping and shutting the door. We could just make out the voices, but not the actual words. “Hey, Starfyre, when you go out tonight, be extra careful. I think we got some bugs in town.”

I looked to Streak and saw he was being serious for once. “Changelings here? Did they try anything?”

“No they just observed us for the day. Here come take a look.” I followed him over to the balcony and he pointed to a cart parked on the other side of the street. “That cart followed us to the zoo and back again. It could just be some reporters, or it could be something worse. Just to be on the safe side, where are you heading to?”

“Hoofers, it's supposed to have something for everypony!”

“Hoofers? You do realise that it's mainly an........'adult' attraction, right?”

“Well yeah, but most of the casinos are!”

“Not what I meant Star. When I say 'adult', I mean 'don't take Scootaloo there.' Are you sure you want to take Dash there?”

“Of course he does. I suggested it.” We both turned back to the main room and my brain sputtered to a halt for the second time that day. “Starfyre, you might want to shut you mouth. I don't think Spitfire would forgive you for covering that Wonderbolt rug you're on with drool.” I slowly worked my jaw up and down, trying to say something, but my mind was still blown away by the beauty that stood before me.”


“You're not getting out of it that easy Starfyre. Sweet talking doesn't work on me, and you know it!”

“Of course Lady Dash, but I do know what does work on you, but I'll save that for later. Right now, I'm going to finish this up, even if I don't really want to....”


I still couldn't think of anything to say, so I just walked over to her and put one of my wings over her back before we both trotted out of the door and got the elevator down to the lobby. There was a cab already waiting for us, and just as Streak had said, the red and green cart started to follow us. “Hey, what's wrong? Am I not good enough for your attention?”

I turned to the mare sat next to me and sighed. “I know you want this to be relaxing Dash, but we are being followed by the same cart that followed Streak and Fluttershy earlier today.”

“Well, why don't you go do something about it?”

“No, we have decided to let them make the first move. But they don't know we are expecting it. If something does happen, I want you to promise me that you won't get involved.”

“But I can help!! Why would you want me to stay out of it?”

“Because it may be Changelings.” I watched as the colour drained from her face. “Streak said there was a black thing following him around this afternoon, so we are going to try and force them out with out doing anything to them.”

The cart came to a rolling stop, and the driver came up to the door on the right, cracking it open a little. “My apologise Miss Dash, but with the realisation that there were a couple of Element Bearers in town, the vultures that call themselves reporters have been staking out all the well known casinos. I could drive round the block a couple of times to see if they'll disperse if you would like me to.”

“Nah, I wouldn't want to disappoint my adoring fans. Here is just fine.” I watched as she paid the fare before turning to me. “So here is how it will go. I'll step out and head towards the casino. You'll follow after about thirty seconds, and meet up with me at the door. Unless something happens, then I guess you'll come right away.”

“As much as I would like to go first, I will allow you to have this moment.” She smiled with glee as she stepped out of the cab. “1.....2......3......4.....” It had been about fifteen seconds when I heard a male voice above all the cheering.

“Two Bearers in one day? It must be my lucky day! Hey, Rainbow Dash, over here!!”

“That's Lady Dash to you my friend.”

“Friend? After earlier, I don't think I want you mares as friends of mine. You're all bucking crazy. I just want a few pictures so I can get paid. And I hear you're the adventurous type.”

“Really? You have got to be bucking joking. Do you really think I'd go anywhere with a creep like you? You can go buck yourself!”

“Well, you've certainly got a mouth on you. But I'm sure we can find ways of stopping that....”At this point, I jumped out of the cart and landed next to Dash. The stallion looked over at me and just laughed. “Oh, so that's why, you've all ready got a coltfriend. Well, let's just see how good he is.”

I just stood there as he shot forward, his fore hoof connecting with my jaw and rocking me back a little bit. “Well, he can take a hit, I'll give him that.” I just started to snicker, before it erupted in to full blown laughter. “Something funny punk?”

I just pointed to the guardsponies that had appeared in the crowd, and watched as he looked to them. I checked their ranks and the highest was only a corporal. “Corporal, I wish for you take this stallion under arrest for the crime of striking a Royal Guard.”

“Well need a name and rank, then we will have to verify your authority before action can be taken.”

“Very well, I am Sergeant Starfyre.”

The guards all looked at each other before approaching the pegasus. “Money Shot, you are under arrest for assaulting a member of the Royal Guard. Please come quietly, you remember what we had to do last time right?”

He just looked at the guard with a shocked face. “But....what happened to verifying his authority.....wait a minute.....Starfyre.....another Hunter?.........Buck. Yeah, I'll come quietly.”

I watched as they led him away from the crowd, and I raised my hoof to my nose to see if there was any blood. As I pulled it away to check, my head was turned to the side, and I barely had time to react as Dash pulled me in to a passionate kiss.


“I sooooo did not do that!!!!”

“Yes you did Lady Dash......the blush on your cheeks and your trembling wings betrays that statement.”

“.....what ever. Just get on with it.”


There was the sound of cheering and lots of lights flashing, but I was too lost in the moment to notice. When we finally separated, we walked side by side up to the VIP entrance, and were ushered in very quickly. We spent a while at the bar getting friendly with the owner and managers, before making our way over to the gambling areas. We both wanted to play different things, so we made sure to get one of the ushers to make us meet up at a later time.

I had just hit the jackpot on one of the slots when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning I noticed that it was one of the managers. “I'm sorry to bother you sir, but you marefriend has asked if we could do something special for you two. Please follow me, and don't worry about the money, we'll put it on an account for you.”

He reached to the machine and slid a card in to it, and I watched the credits disappear to zero before he hoofed the card to me. I took it, and got up to follow him, and I noticed he was leading me to the more 'adult' side of the place. Once we got there, I was passed to another usher who led me in to a darkened room, with a single chair in it, and a stage at one end. The usher turned around and walked out, almost shutting the door. “Enjoy the show sir!” He finally closed the door and I sat down in the chair.

After a few seconds, I heard music start to play, and the curtain on the stage rustled a little bit, before a cyan fore hoof came through, with the rest of the body following. I sat there transfixed as she slowly went about her routine, and seeing as I had nothing to be ashamed of at the time, I let my arousal show. I loved it when she got really close, only to pull away again.

Just as the music was coming to an end, I heard some commotion from outside the door. I got up and walked to it, before opening it. I wish I hadn't. “STARFYRE, WHAT THE BUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING???”

“Dash? How did you get out here so quickly?”

“What are you talking about?” I turned back to the stage and looked to see the other Dash sitting there in her semi naked state, rear legs hanging over the stage.

“Well, if you didn't just give me a lap dance.....then who the buck is that?” There was a blue blur as Dash raced in to the room.

“What the buck? Why is there another me? She has to be a Changeling!! Quick, do something!” I was about to move when 'Dash' sat up.

“I'm a Changeling huh? I put on a show for my stallion and you try to pull this off? You're the Changeling!!”

I just sighed and closed the door with all three of us in there.


“I'm guessing you got it sorted.....and that this is the real Dash in front of us.”

“Yes sir, there was only one course of action.” I watched as he looked to Dash with a extremely pleading face. This must have been something that was only known between them.

“......fine, go ahead and tell him. He probably won't believe you if you don't.”

“Thank you Lady Dash. The solution was quite simple. I asked for them both to hold up their right fore hoof. I moved to the one who had given me a show, and started to massage her hoof. A shudder ran through her body and she smiled at me. I then did the same to the other one, and watched as her eyes closed and she bit her lower lip. I then returned to the first one and knocked her out. As she went to hit the floor, her disguise fell away, revealing the Changeling.”

“Whoa, hold up......just how did you know which one was real from that.” Starfyre looked to Dash again, but it wasn't him who replied.

“Getting my hooves massaged......is a massive turn on for me, but I try not to show it in public. That's why when you did it, I dropped you. No offence, but you're not my type.”

“Okay....that explains that.....but what of the Changeling?”

“We had a message sent to the Los Pegasus guard, and they came to collect her. We headed back to the hotel earlier then expected, and we didn't talk on the whole way back. As we opened the door, we were greeted with a sight that we weren't, well I wasn't, expecting.”

“After experiencing something similar.” I watched as Fluttershy's cheeks started to burn. “I won't ask for any details. Now, Changeling. What happened?”

“Myself and Streak went down to the precinct where it was being held. It was from Prancesylvania, as were the others. They had all gotten jobs at 'adult' clubs. If you think about it, it's a good idea. They can be anypony they need to be, and they get all the 'love' they need from their patrons. They have one suited for every.......orientation you could probably imagine. But this best part is it keeps them out of harms way.”

“And the ones who were following you?”

“They were just looking out for the others. I don't know how they knew we were coming, but they wanted to make sure we weren't there for them.”

“I see. So, Los Pegasus is safe from any attack then?” Before I could get an answer, Simon walked out of the kitchen and over to his armour. I watched as he pulled a set of keys out of his pocket. “Simon, what are they?”

“Keys to the Pelican.”

“Hand them over.”

“Why?”

“Because you are not going to Los Pegasus. And I am not coming with you to a strip club.....again. You almost got us thrown out last time.”

“Hey, there was no rule about touching!”

“Yes, but there was about you getting drunk off your ass and deciding to join in!!!!”
