//------------------------------// // Love, Hate, and Concern // Story: Strained and Flexed Bridges // by YukiSN //------------------------------// Chapter 9 - Love, Hate, and Concern "Vex! Oh my goodness dearie are you okay?!" Rarity gasped, rushing into Ponyville General Hospital. Word spread quickly through the town and the rape of a mare exploded like wildfire. Aurora and Rarity were the first to appear in the hospital, Twilight and Pinkie Pie galloping closely behind. "Sis!" Aurora gasped, rushing to her unconscious sister's side. The doctors carefully trotted in, understanding how much the mares cared for their friends. "Well, it looks like your sister here, Mrs…" the doctor began, looking at Aurora. "Aurora," Rarity answered, holding Vex's hoof tightly. "Mrs. Aurora, your sister, as you know her, has been raped by three stallions last night. You're good friend here Applejack brought her in as fast as possible. From the tests that we've run, there is no danger of her being pregnant. However, her emotional shock has sent her into a coma like state. She's very distant so communication with her might be hard," the doctor explained. Aurora looked at the doctor then at her sleeping sister. Pressing her ear to Vex's chest, Aurora sobbed as she heard the faint heart beat. "Sugarcube… I'm so sorry… I got her here as quick as I could, I promise," Applejack spoke, placing her hoof on Aurora's shoulder. "It's fine… it's not your fault. I just hope those stallions get what coming to them…" Aurora cried, the doctor clearing his throat to gather the mares' attention. "Well, that's the other thing... your sister is under investigation by local authorities. We found the three rapists lying dead around her, each one gruesomely killed. I'm not saying I believe that your sister did this but I'm just following the law," the doctor explained. The Elements of Harmony gasped at this new piece of information. "Vex…" Aurora continue to sob, burying her face into her sister's neck. The doctor and mares watched as Aurora continued to sob, trembling as she held her sister tightly. Their hearts were filled with sorrow as the scene continued to play out before them, Pinkie Pie being the most affected of the Elements of Harmony. "Speaking of hospitalization, why isn't Fluttershy back? I know we've been caring for her animals but I think they really miss her!" Pinkie Pie quietly whispered to Twilight. "I don't know Pinkie, it's a good point though, it has been five days now," Twilight replied, her eyes still fixed on Vex. "Do you think Rainbow confessed?" Applejack asked, motioning for her friends to leave the two sisters alone. Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Twilight all stepped out of the room, Rarity telling Aurora that she could come back whenever she wanted and to take her time. The white unicorn soon rejoined her friends, a sad look on her face. "What should we do? Poor Aurora is distraught!" Rarity cried softly. "We seem to be asking ourselves that question quite often nowadays," Applejack muttered. "Rarity, why don't you stay here with Aurora? Applejack, go check on Archimedes. Pinkie Pie, you go and find Strings at Zecora's. I'll write a letter to the princess to inform her of the current situation," Twilight instructed, the ponies nodding and galloping off. Turning to the doctor, Twilight began to ask a few questions of her own. "Doctor, is there anyway you can keep Vex's room locked down? It is important that she's not transferred anywhere without my clearance," Twilight asked. "I don't think so… I'm bound to the law as well," the doctor replied, his eyes still watching Aurora shake while holding Vex in her hooves. "Is there anyway? There has to be some way! Like a sealed off room or something," Twilight begged. "Well… there is the basement floor…" the doctor replied, Twilights eyes sparkling brightly. "Keep her there, and bring her sister. Those two are all they have to family," Twilight ordered, the doctor nodding and calling in some staff. "Thanks," Twilight replied. "Think nothing of it. I know what she must be going through. And that's why I became a doctor," the doctor smiled warmly, trotting off to attend to another patient. Twilight smiled before leaving, stepping outside of the hospital and teleporting back to the library. --------------------XXX-------------------- Unknown to the other Elements of Harmony, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had been camping out at the prismatic mare's home, her parents offering the yellow Pegasus the guest room. After a few minutes of coaxing and assuring that everything was fine, the yellow pegasus soon moved in. At first, the main worry for Fluttershy was her animals down at her cottage, Rainbow Dash assuring that they would be looked after by their friends. Despite her recollection of Spike's first attempt to watch over them, Fluttershy gradually settled down. After the second day with no signs of fire or chaos coming from her cottage along with Applejack visiting everyday to feed her animals, Fluttershy calmed down, accepting the last few days that Rainbow Dash suggested she take to wind down after recent events. On the third night, Rainbow Dash found herself unable to sleep. Grumbling as she rose from her Wonderbolts bed, she glanced around her old room, sighing happily at all the merchandise she had purchased as a young filly and continued to purchase even now. climbing out of her bed, Rainbow Dash decided to go and make herself a small bowl of soup. Quietly trotting down the hall, she noticed a soft light emitting from the guest room. Curiosity getting the best of her, the mare peered inside to find Fluttershy fast asleep on the bed, the nightlight her parents placed in the room glowing warmly. Smiling at the foal-like nature of her friend, Rainbow Dash tiptoed inside, gently closing the door behind her. Upon closing the door, a strong scent hit Rainbow Dash heavily. Her eyes soon turned to Fluttershy, watching her face contort into faces of pleasure. "Aw no way…" Rainbow Dash chuckled, trotting over to her sleeping friend, the scent growing stronger. The cyan mare watched as Fluttershy moaned softly while she continued to dream, tossing and turning slightly to reveal her now rosy red cheeks and pleading expression. Rainbow Dash looked away, feeling somewhat ashamed of spying on her friend like this. "Oooooooh," Fluttershy moaned, causing Rainbow Dash to blush. Her blush intensified greatly when Fluttershy's hoof slowly trailed down South. "She's… touching herself…" Rainbow Dash gasped, watching her childhood friend moan as her hoof slid up and down along her slit. By now, the scent that was emitting from Fluttershy was becoming unbearable, Rainbow Dash was at her breaking point of restraint. A shudder ran through Fluttershy's body followed by her wings slowly unfolding. A shrill cry and trembled moan echoed in the room. Rainbow Dash had done her best to restrain herself… but now she was broken. Fluttershy was dreaming. She was dreaming that she was in a field of flowers that stretched on forever. Her animal friends were happily playing while her friends laughed and played next to her. "Come join us Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie yelled energetically, bouncing up and down. "Yeah sugarcube! We're having more fun than a pig in a mud bath!" Applejack smiled. Giggling gleefully, Fluttershy turned to run towards her friends, suddenly spotting Sven sleeping soundly in the middle of a field of violets. "I'll be right there girls!" Fluttershy called out, her friends smiling and nodding before returning to playing. Galloping towards Sven, Fluttershy couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart. The stallion rose to his hooves, his emeralds shining brightly at her. A bright smile spread across his lips as he started to gallop towards Fluttershy. A sudden surge of pleasure shot through Fluttershy's nether region, the canary yellow mare suddenly collapsing into the field of flowers. Jolts of excitement sent shivers down her spine while her wings suddenly burst open. She let out a moan of pleasure, feeling something wet starting to leak slowly from her nether region. A shrill cry of excitement rang through the air as Fluttershy began to cry out in pleasure. The world around her suddenly began to spiral and shrink much like a whirlpool in the bathtub. However, the pegasus was too caught up in her pleasure to notice before a soft voice rang in her ears. "Oh Fluttershy… you sound so cute when you moan." "Dashie?" Fluttershy's eyes shot open, taking in the hospital ceiling that hung above her. Pleasure shot through her once again rapidly, the mare gasping and moaning. Slowly trailing her eyes down, she found Rainbow Dash between her hind legs, her tongue working furiously on Fluttershy's marehood. Fluttershy tried to protest but found her words being caught in a knot. She could only utter the pegasus' name. "R-R-Rain- AH! - Rainbow! Don't stop! P-p-please don't!" Fluttershy moaned, her hooves grasping the prismatic mare's mane and nearly pushing it closer to her wet entrance. Rainbow continued her heavy assault, now prodding her tongue inside of Fluttershy, tasting the moist walls. A heavy moan escaped the shy pegasus' lips, pleasing the mare between her legs. A shiver shot through her body before her walls tightened around Rainbow Dash's tongue, a bittersweet liquid spewing into her mouth. Licking her lips, Rainbow Dash eagerly lapped up the fluids, climbing up onto the bed and mounting Fluttershy. "I love you so much Shy…" Rainbow Dash whispered, kissing the yellow mare, her vaginal juices mixing with her saliva. Fluttershy's tongue sloppily danced with Rainbow Dash's, the mare moaning and pulling the cyan pegasus' body to hers, pressing their lower regions together. Rainbow Dash let out a soft gasp, blushing softly as her own wings unfurled. "Please Dashie… lick me down there…" Fluttershy squeaked, her cheeks blushing. Rainbow Dash grinned, suddenly turning around while still mounting Fluttershy, her own entrance beginning to drip. "How about you help me too?" she giggled, suddenly assaulting Fluttershy's marehood once again. A sharp gasp escaped the yellow mare's lips before she too began to lick at the prismatic mare's wet entrance. The two mares moaned and groaned, each one lapping up the others juices. "Dashie! I'm going to… AAAAH!" Fluttershy squeaked, climaxing once again into Rainbow Dash's mouth. The mare licked up the juices once again, turning around and kissing Fluttershy heavily, letting her taste herself. Fluttershy eagerly accepted the gesture, panting heavily as Rainbow Dash pulled away. "Dashie…" she moaned, watching the mare trot over to a closet and rummage around inside before producing an item. Fluttershy's eyes wandered around the item, trying to figure out what it was made for. "Why do you have a rubber part of a stallion? Isn't that a bit wei--- Aaaah!" Fluttershy screamed, Rainbow Dash suddenly thrusting the object into her. "It's… called… a… strap…on.. Shy!" Rainbow Dash gasped, bucking her childhood friend like there was no tomorrow. Fluttershy wrapped her hooves around the other pegasus, kissing her heavily. Rainbow Dash gladly accepted Fluttershy's love, forcing her tongue into the animal caretaker's mouth. Rainbow Dash could hear Fluttershy's rhythmic whimpers as she kept rhythm with her thrusts. Giving a hard thrust, she heard Fluttershy scream in her mouth. Quickly pulling out, Rainbow Dash trotted back over to the closet, the strap-on dripping with Fluttershy's juices. Rainbow Dash returned once again, this time with some rope and two plastic stallion part. Fluttershy could only moan and play with herself before Rainbow Dash flipped her over, hogtieing the pegasus before mounting her once again. "Rainbow… please… I need it…" Fluttershy whimpered, her eyes gazing into Rainbow Dash's magenta orbs. Nodding, Rainbow Dash produced one of the plastic stallion parts, slipping it into Fluttershy's vagina, the item suddenly roaring with life. Gasps and shivers soon began to pour from Fluttershy's mouth and body. Smiling at the reaction, Rainbow Dash slipped another one into Fluttershy's flank, listing as the mare squeaked in slight pain before trembling with pleasure. Rainbow Dash glanced back once again at the yellow mare, noting the unquenchable lust in her eyes. Carefully, she lifted Fluttershy's head upwards, prodding her lips with the strap-on. Fluttershy eagerly took the rubber replica in her mouth, bobbing her head forward and back quickly. Her juices still soaked the rubber but were quickly being replaced by her saliva. She looked up at Rainbow Dash, the pegasus moaning before suddenly pulling out of Fluttershy's mouth, taking off the strap-on and sucking it herself. Rainbow trotted over to the closet once again, this time producing a two double sided rubber stallion parts, replacing the plastic ones in Fluttershy's private areas with them. Fluttershy was still swamped in ecstasy, unaware of what Rainbow Dash was doing before she watched the cyan mare slip the other ends into herself, screaming in pleasure as she did. Gently rocking back and fourth, Fluttershy felt the rubber pumping in and out of her, eliciting a loud moan and groan of pleasure. Without warning, the canary yellow pegasus found herself free from her bonds and now upside down, her flank in the air and her head resting on the bed. Rainbow Dash was now pumping the two sex toys up and down while bending forward and kissing Fluttershy, the actions causing the toys to slip in deeper into the two mares. Fluttershy screamed once again, tears starting to pour from her eyes as she kissed Rainbow Dash, the other mare's soft lips nullifying the pain she was feeling. Rainbow Dash pumped harder and harder, not stopping for a minute before both mares screamed in pleasure, their juices mixing with one another and spraying on the other mare's coat. Rainbow Dash collapsed, breathing heavily before she felt Fluttershy's tongue inside of her, causing her to choke suddenly. Looking down, she found Fluttershy now sucking on the double ended toy that dangled from her vagina. To her surprise, the other pegasus was forcing the item deep into her throat, nearly choking herself. Rainbow Dash watched as mare left a thick trail of saliva as she pulled off before going down deep once again. Grabbing Fluttershy's shoulders and the other toy that dangled from her flank, the cyan mare turned Fluttershy around before roughly forcing the toy inside the pegasus' marehood and mimicked her friend's actions. A squeak emitted from the soft lips of the pegasus on top of her but was quickly replaced with moans and groans of pleasure. An hour passed and the two pegasi finally began to settle down, Fluttershy's body trembling rapidly while whimpers, groans, moans, and coughs escaped her lips. She was doused in sweat and her and Rainbow Dash's juices. Her mouth was agape and her eyes showed signs of pure sex and lust. Rainbow Dash placed a gentle kiss on the mare's nose before cuddling closer to the mare before a small blinking red light caught her attention in the closet. Wearily dragging herself out of bed, the pegasus staggered towards the closet, pulling out a video camera. Noticing a mechanism that switched the camera on to record, Rainbow spotted that it was triggered when she first opened the closet. Gasping, she quickly began to search the memory until she found the video she desired. Her hoof quickly moved to hit the delete button before she noticed another option: COPY AND COMPRESS. --------------------XXX-------------------- "Archimedes! You here?" Applejack hollered, running into the barn. Silence greeted farm pony. Worry began to slowly take over before she quickly ascended to the loft to gasp at the sight. The once neat area where Archimedes slept now looked like a small skirmish, parts of the wood were splintered while other areas just had large parts missing. Hay and cloth were scattered about and there was even some blood splatters. In the center of the room was a beaten and unconscious Archimedes, his cloak torn to shreds. Blood trickled down the side of his coat and seeped from his belly. "Help… me…" he groaned, extending a shaky hoof towards Applejack before he passed out. "Sugarcube!" Applejack exclaimed, rushing over to check for a pulse. To her relief, the pulse was still present and fair. "BIG MAC! APPLEBLOOM! HELP!" Applejack screamed, the called ponies quickly galloping to their sister before staring at Archimedes. "Help me! Applebloom! Call an ambulance wagon! Big Mac! Help me get him down from here!" Applejack yelled, Big Macintosh and Applebloom quickly springing into action. Like the Apples they were, Applebloom had already called for the ambulance wagon just as Big Macintosh had quickly descended from the loft with Archimedes, Applejack carrying his signature hat and Rayne on her back, the Phoenix cawing sadly. "What in tarnation happened to you," Applejack sighed sadly, boarding the ambulance wagon as the medics loaded Archimedes inside. Meanwhile, back in the loft, Applejack had failed to notice something of great importance that would reveal what happened: four pairs of crystal blue eyes that stared from the dark shadows. --------------------XXX-------------------- "Zecora! Zecora! Are you here?" Pinkie Pie yelled, bouncing through the Everfree Forest. When the desired zebra did not make an appearance, the party pony bounced inside the cozy hut, hearing a soft snore from the bedroom of the foreigner. Peering inside, Pinkie Pie gasped as she saw Zecora lying comfortably with Strings, her hooves wrapped around the stallion's waist while a blissful smile was spread across her lips. Zecora's eyes slowly opened, blinking a few times before nuzzling into Strings. "Afternoon Zecora," Strings smiled warmly kissing the Zebra softly. "Afternoon to you, how do you do? Perhaps you'd be up, for a round two?" Zecora giggled, Strings smiling and pulling the covers over the two. Pinkie Pie's eyes widened as she watched Zecora trace her hoof down String's chest. Pinkie Pie's attention now shifted to a growing structure beneath the blanket. Unfortunately, she was so focused, on the stallion's growing member that she failed to keep her balance, falling through the door. "Pinkie Pie?!" Zecora gasped, quickly retracting her hoof. "Um... hi?" Pinkie Pie replied nervously, looking at Zecora's un-amused stare. "I remember you, you were at the Cake's place, Pinkie Pie, correct?" Strings asked, the party pony nodding. "I was sent to check on you since… something happened earlier and we just wanted to make sure everypony was okay," Pinkie Pie explained nervously, her eyes turning to Zecora. "And every zebra," she smiled, her nervousness vanishing as Zecora's understanding smile came upon her lips. "No need to fret, nothing bad has happened yet," Zecora smiled. "Okie Doki Loki!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily, bouncing out of the hut. Zecora turned to Strings, the stallion looking back at her. "So, shall we continue?" he asked, Zecora smiling deviously before Strings suddenly leapt on top of her, pinning her to the bed. "I'll lead this time." --------------------XXX-------------------- Dear Princess Celestia, I have recently discovered that my friends have encountered the ShadowHawks Vex, Aurora, Strings, and Archimedes. However according to them, the four ShadowHawks have no memory of who they are or anything that happened at Canterlot. They don't remember who we are or where they are. Archimedes at least remembers Rayne, his Phoenix but other than that, he's as clueless of who he is or what he once was just like the others. All four have different personalities, excluding Strings. Vex is as shy as Fluttershy while Aurora is a tad bit like Rainbow Dash in terms of her teasing. Archimedes is as shy as Big Macintosh, though he talks more than the Apple does. From what my friends have told me, each one is housing a ShadowHawk, Rarity housing Vex and Aurora since Vex seems to be absolutely petrified with fear when her sister isn't with her. Applejack is housing Archimedes while Zecora is housing Strings according to Pinkie Pie. Today we received so horrible news from Applejack. Last night, Vex was raped by three stallions when she ran from Carousel Boutique, Rarity, Sweetie Belle, and Aurora teasing her a bit too much. Applejack said that she found her little sister frozen in place when they were on the way to pick up Sweetie Belle to play. The doctors say that she's in some sort of shock induced coma. According to the two, the bodies of the rapists were found brutally maimed around Vex's body, though according to local authorities, Vex wasn't involved in their demise. Vex is also currently under arrest while she recovers in the hospital for being involved in the stallions' deaths. In other news, Fluttershy still hasn't returned from Cloudsdale Hospital since Kozak was hospitalized. Come to think of it, Rainbow Dash hasn't returned either. Either way, we're still hoping that everything is alright. Spike has also brought it to my attention that the remaining Stalkers have vanished. What do you plan to do with the impending army of Changelings amassing? Whatever you do, I have faith that you'll make the right choice. Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle "Alright Spike, you can send the letter now," Twilight said, the purple dragon opening the window and belching the green flames that engulfed the parchment, sending it towards Canterlot. "So Twilight, is everything okay with Vex? I heard about her and was thinking that maybe we should all do something, you know, when she wakes up," Spike asked, re-shelving another misplaced book. "That's a wonderful idea Spike, I'll talk it over with the others," Twilight smiled, trotting out the door. The purple dragon smiled, happy that his adopted sister was feeling happy, even if it was for a moment. He had noticed that his purple unicorn sister had been acting like something was bothering her recently and was glad to see that she could take a moment to enjoy herself. Sighing, he was still depressed over the news of Vex. Even though Spike didn't know the pegasus very well or much at all, he still felt a connection to all ponies, as if all of them were friends. Staring firmly at the list of chores placed before him, Spike made up his mind. "Alright, I'll finish these chores quickly, make lunch for Twilight and I, and then ask if there's anything I can do or make for when Vex wakes up," he exclaimed to nopony in particular. Owlicious simply hooted at the dragon's determination from his perch in Twilight's room. --------------------XXX-------------------- "Sven…" a silky voice whispered gently. Sven's eyes slowly opened, taking in the clear blue skies. Slowly rising, Sven began to rise slowly only to have a canary yellow hoof gently push him back down. Upon resting his back on the ground, Sven discovered that he was lying in a field of flowers, the beautiful colors swaying gently in the wind. A pair of soft lips gently pressed themselves up against Sven's, startling the stallion. "Fluttershy," Sven sighed, a smile spreading on his lips, his eyes meeting the crystal baby blue eyes of the yellow pegasus. "I love you," he whispered softly, Fluttershy lying on her belly and resting her head on Sven's chest. A moment of bliss soon settled before Sven felt tears stain his coat. "I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry Sven," Fluttershy cried softly. "What do you mean love?" Sven asked, confused as to why his marefriend was crying. "She's referring to me," a cocky voice rang throughout the air, a prismatic pegasus suddenly landing next to the two. "What?" Sven asked, confused. Fluttershy slowly rose to her hooves, Rainbow Dash wrapping her wing around the yellow pegasus before pulling her in for a rough kiss. "She's with me now, you got that? So take a hint and take a hike!" Rainbow Dash laughed, turning to leave. Fluttershy stared at the grassy plain, her eyes avoiding meeting Sven's. "Why Fluttershy? Why? You mean to tell me that you've been lying to me this entire time?!" Sven asked, feeling anger and pain rise within him. "N-n-no. I… I just," Fluttershy whimpered. "I knew it… I knew you just pitied me…" Sven growled, feeling hatred and rage suddenly begin to take over. Fluttershy was about to speak before Sven cut her off once again, this time, his anger getting the best of him. "You're just like the others. Just humoring me so that they can get something or who the buck knows whatever they wanted," Sven yelled, tears welling up in Fluttershy's eyes. Sven quickly snapped out of his anger, hugging Fluttershy and letting the tears of the mare soak his coat. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean it… but please. Don't leave me. I love you," Sven begged, kissing Fluttershy gently on the lips. The pegasus pulled away gently, tears falling from her eyes. "I'm sorry Sven. But I can't…" she sobbed, flying away. "Fluttershy!" Sven yelled but the pegasus was far out of sight. Tears slowly began to well up in Sven's eyes before anger began to well up in his heart once again. His body began to tremble softly before breaking out into a violent shake. Letting loose a loud roar Sven felt the fires of his suppressed rage begin to emit from his body. A minute passed before he finished roaring. Looking back at what was once the luscious plain of flowers, he gasped as he saw fire. Fire had engulfed the entire plain, the plants burning to a crisp and being blown away by the wind as ash. Looking up the sky had changed from the serene blue to amber red while dark clouds rolled in slowly, throwing lightning bolts freely. Sven began to panic, searching for something to put out the flames before his eyes met a shadowy pony who stood amongst the chaos. A demonic grin suddenly donned upon the mysterious pony's mouth before it slowly began to approach. "Remember me?" a raspy voice hissed as the pony continued to make its way towards Sven. "No… not you… go away!" Sven yelled, firing off magical bolts towards the approaching pony. A sickening cackle escaped the cracked lips of the shadowy pony. "You can't get rid of me Sven. No matter how hard you try and suppress me, I'm always with you. And now it's my turn to play," the pony laughed, suddenly appearing in front of Sven before stabbing a knife into his chest. Sven yelled in pain, ripping the dagger from his chest and kicking the pony in the face. The other pony growled, claws suddenly appearing where its hooves once were. "You shouldn't have done that Sven," the pony growled lunging at blinding speed towards Sven. Before the ShadowHawk had a chance to raise his guard, he felt an icy cold grip slowly close around his neck. Being lifted into the air, Sven felt his body fly through the air, suddenly smashing into the ground, his head striking against a rock. The icy cold grip closed tighter around his neck, the shadowy pony cackling as it drew closer. "Choke Sven, choke to death. It'll be fun. Just like old times," the shadow pony laughed, plunging its claws deep into Sven's right hind leg. "Aaaah!" Sven cried out in pain, the claws digging deeper into his flesh, tearing muscle and scraping against bone. "Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt?" the pony laughed, ripping his claws across Sven's chest and face in a fury. "Did it?! Did it?! You bucking idiot!" the pony suddenly roared, anger burning in his words. Sven could hardly cry out in pain, mainly due to the fear of having his entire mouth eviscerated. "Die you! Die!" the pony yelled, ripping his claws across Sven's throat. Blood began to pour from the stallion's neck, Sven choking now on his own blood. He felt the grip around his neck relax and he fell to the burnt ground, the fire coming closer and closer. The pony stood above him spat. "This isn't over. Your just lucky," he growled, kicking Sven in the head and knocking the stallion out.
