Certain that his lovers were secure for the moment, since with Ember's and Smolder's negotiations with Dragon Lord Torch had allowed him a small territory in the safest portions on the outskirts of the Dragon Lands, Spike had bid his family a teary farewell. Unfortunately, he'd been informed this was a journey he would have to undertake alone.

This supposed Goddess lived at the world's edge, and would remain hidden unless one was brazen enough to approach alone. Other than that the Pie sisters claimed they couldn't tell him more if he hoped to encounter her. He'd also asked Discord and the  coven during his trip, but other than the former offering him a short cut that saved him weeks of travel they refused to speak of it. Twilight Sparkle had warned him if he wished to replenish the Fire Ruby he'd have to undertake a long pilgrimage.

He rested only when necessary, soared high above the land in the tumultuous skies, beat his leathery wings and pushed against the gales that assaulted his shimmery scales. A mountain range swept by, the winds swirling in all directions, screaming and threatening to pull him into the abyss. From his vantage the canyons below had vanished completely.

His head started to swim, his limbs grew heavier, but he knew to stop now would mean injury, possibly death. He'd easily be swept up by the whirlwind and dashed about on the rocks. Gritting his teeth with a hiss, he pushed onward, the Fire Ruby glittering in his claws, the faces of those he loved, particularly Rarity and Sweetie Belle, playing across his thoughts.

I have to do this! For them! How can I ever become the Dragon Lord if I give up now?

Like a dream a vast citadel materialized on a mountaintop amidst glitter and illumination. The radiance nearly blinded him, and he was drawn to it, forced to touch down before the pristine, regal palace that looked like it came from a fairy tale.

Cautiously he padded over on all fours. The double doors toppled open before him. “Come in,” came a musical lilt.

Somehow her tone put him at ease. He marched up the stairs, into the hallway, lined in suits of shining armor and portraits of various men and women framed above. Sunlight streamed through the stained glass, casting him in a prism of bright colors, and he followed the carpet down the corridor to the throne room, which was once again thrown open in anticipation.

Seated on a golden throne was the tallest, most voluptuous woman he'd ever witnessed. She cast him a mild smile, her wavy locks swirling around her naked, pale form, enveloped by a thin halo of light that made it painful to look upon her beauty.

His heart skipped a beat and he sat on his haunches on the stairs before her. “You're the Goddess?”

She raised a hand to her lips and tittered softly. “Is that what they call me? I watch over the world with my closest companions. You've already met my sister, Luna. My name is Celestia.” She nodded at the Fire Ruby he'd placed on a leather strap bound to his armored scales. “I take it that's why you've come? To replace the magic once contained within?”

He nodded. “How did you know? I'm, uh, Spike, by the way.”

“I make it my life's work to keep abreast of events. Besides, I can sense it used to be filled with the love of two women close to you.” She extended her hands and he placed the Fire Ruby in her palms. At this range it was almost painful in her presence, her warmth and a sense of serenity spilling over him, in contrast to the fear her sister invoked to protect the coven.

She reclined on her throne and crossed a leg. “I would like to help you, but first, will you do me a favor? No, not that.” She tittered again at how he couldn't help but leer at the swell of her bulbous breasts and child-bearing hips, barely obscured by the luminescence, and he looked away with a shamefaced blush. “No need to worry, I appreciate your admiration.”

Spike shot her a goofy grin. “So, about that favor...”

Celestia's expression turned more pensive, her eyes narrowed and her brow furrowed, her lips pursed. “It's about my prized former student. Once, she was a champion of the people, working tirelessly and alone to smite evil. It was too large a burden to thrust on anyone, especially one so young and innocent. I fear it's entirely my fault she's been twisted into a demon.”

She stood and turned her back to him, aware of his gaze locked on her generous buttocks. “And since it appears you have quite an eye for the ladies, perhaps you're the one who might finally be able to tame her. But beware. Many have tried to sate her, and come to a terrible end. However, you may be the first with a libido able to keep up with her...”

“I'll do my best.” He swallowed hard, curious who this 'demon' was and hoped she was attractive, at least.

Celestia turned back to him and nodded. “Feel free to rest here, until you're ready. I'll draw you a bath and bring you all the gems you could want. You'll need all your strength when you face her. Oh, and...” She procured a bottle from the ether and dangled it between her manicured fingers. “A little extra insurance from the coven, to keep your 'dragons' at the ready.”

She giggled at his deepening flush and passed it to him. She strolled down the stairs past him with a swagger of her hips and buttocks, her breasts giving a subtle bounce, and he trailed behind her down the corridors with the bottle tucked in the strap.

Led into a spacious bath area, closer to a pool, at the corners stood nude statues of women with their breasts arced out, jars held aloft over their heads while they poured out a continuous stream of water. Steam rose from the liquid and swirled in a thick miasma about them. She nodded, and he sunk into the waters, sighing as his chiseled muscles relaxed on contact.

“So peaceful.” He reclined and noticed that one of the marble likenesses was the spitting image of Fluttershy.

“Many have passed through these halls. I like to collect pieces of art that remind me of them. Discord was once a bitter enemy of my sister and I, but Fluttershy and Tree Hugger tamed him, and we've been allies ever since.” She noted another nude statue in Tree's image. “Who knows? Maybe you'll also grace these halls, by the time you're done with this mission.”

He gasped in shock when she sat behind him, thighs spread when she pressed her fleshy globes and her crotch to his muscular back. “Allow me to help you relax,” she whispered and traced the lines of his musculature, nuzzling his neck while she massaged him. She was unbelievably soft and warm, with a sweet aroma of perfume that encased him like a cocoon.

Is this really happening? It feels s surreal, like a dream. Different from what Discord does, though.

Gradually she dragged her heavy tits over his back, smashed them against him and rolled them in slow circles. Her wide nipples poked into him, and his loins stirred, his rods starting to emerge from their sheathes with a twitch. Grunting, his pink cocks flopped free and rose to full erection, throbbing with need, his eyes starting to glaze over and turn white.

“Now, now,” she murmured in his fin ear. “Forgive me, but I must be certain you're prepared to face my student. And as such no matter how much I work you up I can't allow you any release yet. Keep it bottled up, let it loose on her...”

He groaned in frustration, wanted to seize her in his claws and take her right now, but knew this was all part of the test. He kept his thoughts on Rarity and Sweetie, on the idea that if he succeeded, he'd be much closer to becoming the Dragon Lord.

His heart raced while she continued to rub herself all over him. He hissed and snarled, his mind dulling with lust, aware that if he surrendered to his instincts he would grow larger, more predatory. Unable to help himself anymore, his tail wrapped around her midsection and he tossed her onto his lap, his claws digging into her ample hips and his cocks pressed to her belly.

“Bad boy,” she teased. “I think you're ready.”

Suddenly he was whisked from his bath and appeared before the mouth of a dark cave. Stalagmites and stalactites covered the dank interior like teeth, and he padded his way in, past the skulls and bones that rattled under his claws.

Fearlessly he ventured further in, dread swallowed up by lust and aggression, his scales ablaze with a molten warmth that filled his belly. He bared his teeth, continuously twitched below, testicles swollen under his soft underbelly.

In preparation he drank down the contents of the bottle and tossed it aside with a clink.

“Who dares invade my domain?” A thunderous voice boomed from within. “A dragon dares try to claim my territory?”

A certain lucidity returned to him. “The name's Spike,” he challenged. “And I've come to subdue you!”

She laughed and a fiery blaze pierced the gloom, brought about by thick hair that swirled above the crimson-skinned demon. She beat her own leather wings and swished her tail, her eyes glowing, her teeth razor sharp. Her shapeliness was barely contained by a bondage-style leather bikini, a studded choker around her neck, her nails more like talons.

“You're the former champion, huh?” He recalled a painting in the corridor that depicted a female Paladin clad in white armor, and a sword to match, lined in runes. Her hair had been like a curtain of scarlet and gold flame, even before her transformation.

“The name is Sunset Shimmer, lowly beast! Think you can keep up with me?” She swirled closer to him.

He answered by pouncing on her and knocking her to the ground. She wiggled with a hiss, sneering, and he strained to keep her pinned in place. With an explosive burst she hurled him off, and he smacked into the cave wall with a crack, a shared grin between the warriors who realized they had finally encountered an opponent that could keep up with them.

“Not bad,” she mused. “Huh, there too.” She noted his erections.

He paled and faltered with sudden self-awareness. It's true he wanted her, but he'd never take a female by force, not even an evil one. And he knew it was up to him to redeem her! “Yeah, well, you're not too shabby, either.” He looked her over.

She shimmied in approval with a smirk. “You won't be the first interloper I've taken for a ride. Most of them cratered before the day was up! What about you? Think you're badass enough of a drake to handle little old me?”

Answering by tackling her again, she huffed with a flush when his claws sank into her top, ripping it open and letting her massive tits flop free with a jiggle. Her nipples were pierced by silver rings that shined in the dimness, and she cast back her head with a shameless moan when his snout latched onto a tit, nibbling it between his teeth while he sucked and pulled.

“Sh-shit,” she howled, arching her breast to his maw, letting him suckle and roll about the supple orbs.

Impatiently he hooked a claw into her leather bottoms, the thong clinging between her spankable cheeks, and snapped it loose before he tossed it aside. Her small patch of pubes resembled a flame and topped her tight snatch, which had started to puff up and moisten with a trickle of nectar that trailed down her inner thighs. Her swelled, heart-shaped clitoris was also pierced.

“Hurry the fuck up and fuck me already,” she hissed with a sneer.

His claws sank into her thighs and lifted her up, and he slammed her against the cave. She wrapped her limbs around him, and he plunged his dicks into her lower holes, which made her mewl as drool trickled from the corner of her lip.

“I'm going to fuck the evil out of you,” he playfully threatened. “And you're going to love every second of it!”

She narrowed her eyes. “You'd better not disappoint or...umph,” she yelped when he pierced deep into her. Knowing that he didn't have to take it easy on a demon, he submitted to his instincts and cut loose, pierced past her cervix right into her slimy womb. She quivered and panted under his assault, bounced with a quiver of supple flesh while he kneaded her asscheeks.

Their tails intertwined. She chewed on his lips, so hard she knew a little blood, and slurped it up.

“Ungh...ah...damn it~!” Sunset cursed when her pussy and asshole contracted around his cocks and clenched vise-tight, and she loose a hot waterfall all over his groin, pushing her flushed and sweaty face into his neck, unable to hide her shame when her face twisted in a silly, lewd manner each time she came on him, while he continued to pound her warm fuckholes.

Growling he loosed his own first volley into her womb. The explosive, sticky bursts splattered her slippy walls, clung to them in thick stringy ropes, ran from her twat and rectum around his cocks and mixed with her juices to drip all over his swollen balls.

Momentarily he withdrew from her with a pop and his semen oozed from her gaped orifices and sloshed into a puddle. He pressed on her stomach, squeezed it out, and she panted, barely able to catch a breath before he flipped her over so that her palms pressed on the rock wall and impaled her again. “Oh Celestia~!” Tears of joy filled her eyes when he took her anew.

Hours passed while he claimed her again-and-again, switching positions each time. He'd fill her up so that her belly swelled like she was pregnant, then push out more of his cum, her head already swelled with addiction to his salty seed.

He rested a claw on her head when he took her on all fours. Yanked her by the fiery mane and sunk his cock all the way down her gullet, the other piece of meat pressed to her cheek, dragging over it and slathering her in his precum.

Pretty soon she was completely doused in his seed which he loosed all over her. It glazed her skin, stuck to it, rolled down her curves. “Please...don't stop,” she whimpered, her voice turning softer. Gradually her wild mane lowered, and her skin started to go from scarlet to a paler shade, her wings and tail starting to recede when her rage was replaced by contentment.

“Sunset Shimmer?” He lifted her chin to face him.

She softly wept when the demon receded back into her soul. “I...I never meant to hurt anyone. I tried to take everyone's sins onto me, but it was too much! It's been so lonely,” she admitted and buried her face into his chest. He stroked her hair, cradled her to him with his mouth drawn, tried to think up words of comfort but knew he'd never been particularly well-spoken.

“I'm here for you. Whenever you need me.” He kissed her temple, not caring about the taste of his own seed. All that mattered to him right now was that she needed him. That he could make it better, if only a little.

“Just...stay with me a while.” She sat down next to him and he settled with her, cradled her under his wingspan.

“Whatever you want,” he whispered. “Sorry about the rough treatment.” She shook her head.

She's even lovelier like this. I feel bad though, thinking about her like that at a time like this. I know what it's like to be an outcast, alone, but I can't imagine what it's like to have the weight of the world on your shoulders. 

Is that what it will be like, when I become Dragon Lord?
> Chapter 2
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunset Shimmer reclined on her back, trapped below the drake who she stared up at with a suck inward of breath. Her nails trembled when she traced his firm muscles, stared into eyes that were surprisingly kind under the predatory appearance. As a paladin she'd faced dragons before, but never had she imagined she'd be laid by one! Her heavy breasts rose and fell, still slathered in sweat and a glaze of his seed like the rest of her, warmth still radiating from them both.

Her heart skipped when a familiar, uneven beat made it skip. “She...she's coming back. The demon. Spike, wasn't it?” She cupped his snout with a frown, eyes filling with tears that spilled down her cheeks. “You have to finish taming her.” She turned her head aside with a full flush of her face. “G-give her another dicking. The kind so epic they'll write legends about it!”

He nodded, wrapped his claws around her ankles, and lifted her legs so that her feet were about her head, her ass raised upward when he aimed his twin cocks at her pussy and asshole. Prodding them, he hesitated. “I won't want to hurt you.”

She gazed at him with narrowed eyes. “I'm tougher than I look. I can take it, trust me.”

“If you're sure...” She winced with a loud moan when he plunged back into her, tightening around him when he sunk in, and he slammed her into the ground. Her tits slapped under each thrust, her asscheeks jiggling with smacks, and true to her word she endured his assault with no more than lusty mewls, able to take him balls deep into her womb which he hammered.

Her eyes turned back to glowing orbs with a hiss, skin turning crimson, hair turning back to fire. Leather wings exploded out her back, a tail emerging above her buttocks, wrapping with his own while she completed the transformation.

“Is that all you've got?!” The devil launched an inferno from her palms, enveloped him, but the flames rolled uselessly over his scales. They licked at him, tickling, spurred Spike on,, who growled at their playful wrestle for dominance and let his instincts loose, eyes blazing white when he started to pound her with such force, the cave shook and bits of rock toppled around them.

“Think you're worthy to subdue me, you bastard?! Umph...a-ah,” she howled, unable to do more than take his cocks. He continuously wrecked her holes, grunting and growing, letting loose all his aggression on someone he knew could take it.

She squirted on him, steaming hot, and he wheezed in appreciation. The air rolled under their combined body heat.

With a final slam he pumped her bowels and uterus full, making her balloon up again until it looked like she'd pop. Then he pressed back on her belly when he withdrew, watching his seed bubble while it oozed out her gaping orifices. She whined but still looked defiant, still not fully satisfied with his performance, still not willing to submit so easily.

Thankfully the potion assured he was far from fulfilled, either. Seizing her by the mane of flame, he yanked her up and flipped her over again, landing a rough swat on her ass and leaving a claw print when he impaled her. She dangled on his dicks, the one in her womb visibly distending her belly, and she huffed with a joyous scream each time he skewered her.

He pulled her hair with one claw, landed more spanks on her cheeks with the other, leaving thick crimson marks on her already red ass which wobbled under the repeated blows. He pressed his spade-tipped tails to her lips, and she opened her maw, stroking the length with both hands while she happily nibbled and sucked on it with soft cries.

Her saliva dripped down the spade while he continuously wrecked her fuckholes, knowing that if she were a normal woman she'd never walk again under this primal display of dominance. Sunset scrounged up her face, clamped down on him, lost track of the number of times she came. “Oh, it's-it's too much~!” Her grin stretched wide, long tongue lolling out, eyes rolling into her head while he fucked her silly. Her tits collided under the impact, dangling and swinging under her.

Over the hours he screwed the evil from her. She was turned to face him, smiling with teary eyes, clasping about his neck when he pressed his mouth to hers and their tongues danced. Slowly her upraised hair fell loose, and she turned back into the woman he'd met only briefly, red-faced when he slowed his attack to a gentle thrust, stroking her locks with his own warm smile.

“Tell me what I can do,” he whispered. “I'll do whatever it takes to make it better.”

“Just...stay with me for a while,” she asked. “I'm...afraid to face Celestia, after what I've done.”

Spike clasped her to his powerful chest and squeezed. “I'll be with you. She'll understand, I promise.”

Sunset hoped he was right. She'd been alone for so long. Struggled against numerous monsters, saved mortals, listened to their confessions. But there were times she resented her life, a loss of any normalcy, and while she tried to bury those feelings they had eventually twisted her, as she took on the sins of others and let the guilt fester until it warped her.

He finished in her again, and he left himself locked inside her, while she settled on his lap and rubbed his chest. She nuzzled his neck, and he caressed her tresses, accepted her unconditionally. 

It was what she'd always wanted, what Celestia had never been able to quite provide, despite how much she saw her prized student as her own daughter who she'd taken in as a child.

“Take me with you,” she begged in a whisper.

Spike swallowed hard. “I have many lovers. Are you okay with that?”

She nodded. “I understand. It's a dragon thing, isn't it? You're not like the others I've encountered, though. Most of them were cruel brutes. You seem kind, noble.” She ran her fingers over his snout, rubbed his scales in curiosity. “Let me guess, most of your harem is made up of human girls?” He blushed and nodded. “I'm not surprised. They must appreciate the novelty. Not to mention the size of your, ahem, equipment. Oh, and I'm aware dragon semen is quite addictive, and bonds mates to you...”

Spike kicked his chops in surprise. “No wonder they can't get enough of me. I always feared I'd be too scary.”

“You're small by dragon standards, but just right for a human female. Plus, I think you're cute.” She flicked the tip of his nose with a giggle and sniffled, contented. “I hope I won't be just another lay to you, though.”

“No way. All of my lovers are dear to me. I want to protect them and make them all happy, however I can. That's why I undertook this trip. Two of them crafted a gem to symbolize our love, but it was stolen and broken by this group of air pirates, and I wanted to restore it. Celestia said she could do that, if I, er, 'tamed' you and brought you home.”

Her warm smile widened at his honesty. “You seem like someone I can depend on.”

Maybe this is what I've always needed. Someone to love me without pretense. I always tried so hard to win Celestia's affection, but couldn't quite reach her standards. Or maybe the problem was with me, all this time...?


*****


With the alpha male away, it fell to Rarity and Ember to look after the tribe. Given a territory in the Dragon Lands, the former worked with the others to make it more habitable, and they lived in a series of caves on the outskirts. Smolder had taken to the hatchlings, and was tasked with looking after his offspring, letting down her tough exterior as she cooed and played with them.

Cherry Jubilee led the construction efforts, gathering materials from nearby while the Pie sisters reworked the shape of the rocks into something more appealing. Applejack and Rainbow Dash undertook trips into the wilderness further out, until they crafted a comfortable home complete with a warm pool in the middle. They breathed a relieved sigh after another day's work.

Rarity stood naked on the rocks, wings drawn, and watched the crimson skies roll by. “I wonder how Spike is doing?”

“I'm sure he's fine,” said Ember who also stood nude in her humanoid form save for the choker with its transformation gemstone. She pursed her lips and studied her fellow alpha female, with her hybrid dragon traits, including a spaded tail.

“What?” Rarity turned to face her. “Is something wrong?”

Ember decided to cut through the unspoken tension between them. “Smolder and Sweetie Belle have accepted their roles, as have everyone else here, it seems. That means it comes down to us. Spike will have to choose between us, eventually.”

Rarity narrowed her eyes. “Spike chose me first,” she reminded with hands planted on her wide hips.

“And I was friends with him first,” shot back Ember who crossed her arms over her slender breasts.

“You and Smolder didn't want him until he tried to settle down with me.”

“That's the dragon way. A mate must prove himself if a female has any self-respect. He'd never taken charge until he claimed you and Sweetie Belle as his.” Ember nodded at the other women who went about their work, all completely denuded, some of them swollen with his spawn. “You gave him the confidence to handle a pair of real dragonesses!”

Rarity huffed. “Real dragonesses? You and Smolder are fake humans!”

Ember pressed to her, breasts pressing when she tapped her forehead to hers in a show of challenge. “How about the traditional dragon duel? We'll prove once-and-for-all who's most worthy to be his alpha female.”

“I dislike violence,” admitted Rarity who also knew she couldn't win a direct physical confrontation.

“Smolder-”

“No,” said Rarity who realized she called her to observe. “If we do this, it must be someone more neutral.”

“Very well.” Ember looked between his harem. “Cherry Jubilee, will you do us the honors?”

The former matron abandoned Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo who were engaged in conversation and sauntered over. “Certainly. I've actually seen a few of these 'contests' take place here. Although they appear to be put on more for the benefit of the male onlookers.” She shot them a sly smile. “A shame Spike won't be here to witness it.”

Rarity quirked an eyebrow and asked, “What does this entail?”

Cherry Jubilee nodded at an empty pit in the distance. “They fill these with heated oil and the two potential mates must wrestle each other into submission. It would usually stop when the male in question is satisfied and makes his pick. Of course he keeps both of them, but the winner he chooses is deemed his alpha and the loser must accept her new position.”

“I don't know...” Rarity inhaled and paled.

“Scared you'll lose? You'll never win him that way,” replied Ember with a determined grin.

“Very well. I'll undertake your stupid test.” Rarity hoped she wouldn't regret those words. It was obvious Ember was much stronger and faster than her, and while she liked to think she had the advantage in wits despite her lack of formal education, she doubted that would mean much when they entered the pit. “It's not merely a physical contest, is it?” A mischievous smile crossed her pouty lips at the realization. “No, it's all about how much one can excite the audience.”

Within the hour droves collected to watch the contest take place. Even the current Dragon Lord, Torch, watched far away on his perch with his snout drawn. A special potion was offered to Rarity in case her hybrid shape couldn't take the intense heat, told it would last for a full day, and she drank down the bitter liquid which settled into her belly with a sting.

Around the pit sat the rest of Spike's harem and further out were the dragons. They hissed and roared in appreciation, until the area shook, while Rarity and Ember took their places prepared to step into the bubbly oil that popped and steamed.

Gradually the pair stepped in, enveloped by the transparent oils, until they were waist-deep and once more pressed their breasts together. They glared and intertwined their tails, trying to seize control. Knowing that she couldn't hesitate, Rarity made the first move, suddenly pressing her lips to Ember's whose eyes widened in shock while the mob broke into cheers.

She tackled Ember into the bath which splashed, oil running down their curves, making their supple skin shine under the hellish sky. Ember growled and rolled atop her, grabbing at her opponent with claws, trying to grip onto her tits and buttocks. Rarity countered with her own attack, running a finger over Ember's tight slit and the ring of her sphincter, making her seize up.

“A-ah~” Ember blushed and moaned out, a finger traced over her swollen, heart-shaped moist clit.

“Sing for me,” demanded Rarity who increased her assault, much to the uproar of approval from the crowds.

Ember snarled through her red-face with the realization she was losing. “Bitch,” she cried and plunged her tail into Rarity's cunt with a wet squish. They tumbled and rolled about, and Rarity pressed her own spade into Ember's twat, the pair thrusting in-and-out of each other, determined to make their opponent submit first, to prove they were worthy.

Their maws opened and each took a tit into their mouth. Suckling, nibbling, and pulling, elongated tongues rolling across erect nipples, desperate to make the other cream themselves first. “Go Ember,” called Smolder who pumped a fist. “Put that slut in her place! What a shame Spike isn't here to see this!” Despite her human shape, she breathed a plume of red fire.

Sweetie Belle, also now a fully hybrid, bounced in place with a wobble of her ample flesh. “You better not lose, sister!”

The wrestlers huffed and panted, splashed and tumbled, skin pressed together. Rarity managed to roll atop, pressed Ember to her belly while she sat upon her, seized her wrists while she used her tail to roughly skewer her from behind with a dragon-like growl. Under normal circumstances Ember easily would've tossed her off, but her flesh quivered under the erotic assault.

“Who's Spike's alpha female? Say it,” cried Rarity who kept her pinned and poked in-and-out of her tight slit.

Ember grumbled with hot pink cheeks, partially rested on the shore. Unable to take anymore, her holes clenched and she squirted all over Rarity while she cried out, 'Y-you are-!” She whimpered in defeat, forced to admit her weaknesses.

Rarity withdrew from her and gently rolled over Ember to face her. She winced to see the shame in her rival's face, but knew her compassion would be taken for pity and resisted an urge to comfort her with a caress. “We shouldn't be enemies. Why can't we both be Spike's alpha females? I'll be his human one, and you his dragon. Isn't that a better compromise?”

Smolder shrugged her shoulders. “Can she do that?”

Cherry Jubilee took a moment to consort with one of Torch's harem. “It's unheard of, but the Dragon Lord says there's no rule against it. He says it's okay so long as Spike accepts the proposal.” The crowds whooped and stomped with a war-like cry.

Ember blinked away small tears, ashamed of her weakness. “...thank you,” she whispered.

“You're welcome. I'd rather be friends.” Rarity held her close. “Spike wouldn't want a harem built on violence and anger. He wants us all to love him, and each other, like a sisterhood. We'll show the Dragon Lands there's another, better way.”

Ember nodded. “Maybe you can do it. You helped bring out the kindness in Spike. I used to think it was a weakness.”

“We'll prove otherwise, together.” This time Rarity stroked her cheek and Ember embraced her back.

They returned to their network of caverns, and Rarity took her sister's hand, unable to help but think how lonely it was at times with Spike away. It was fortunate his lovers seemed to be forming their own bonds over time. She studied the empty place where the Fire Ruby would be placed upon its return, and hoped that wherever he was, he would return home soon.
> Chapter 3

Sunset Shimmer cuddled up in the drake's strong arms, seated in his lap. “I know you'll tell me I wasn't responsible, but I feel like a terrible person.” She sniffled and stared at the skulls and bones scattered about the gloomy cavern. “Granted, a lot of those who came to stop me only cared about fame and fortune, but still, to think I've harmed actual people...”

“I've almost done the same. Flew into a blind rage when the Fire Ruby was damaged and knocked a girl off an airship. Wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if her fellow sky pirate hadn't saved her.” He sighed and caressed her mane. “You seem really nice and warm to me. Uh, sorry, I've never been too good with words. I'm more a dragon of action.”

“And love? She teased him with a playful smile and poked into his muscular chest.

He scratched the back of his scaly neck with a goofy grin. “Well, yeah. Dragons have huge libidos.”

“I've noticed.” After he'd downed the potion he'd remained painfully erect. “Hope you won't pay the price later.”

“It probably will hurt. You will too,” he admitted thinking of the relentless pounding he'd given her for hours.

“Completely worth it.” She blushed in contentment and practically glowed. “Speaking of which, I'm not quite satisfied yet, either. No fair to let the she-demon have all the fun. I hope you don't think I'm weird, but...” She looked away with a gulp and struggled to voice her request. Whenever I messed up, Celestia would just stare at me in disappointment. It hurt.”

She traced his chiseled chest and strained to shyly meet his eyes. “I-I feel so guilty. I want you to...p-punish me,” she whispered.

“I don't like to hurt women. Especially nice ones.”

“Nothing serious. Just...” She shifted from his grasp, and with an increasingly reddened face, draped herself over his lap with her heart-shaped bottom raised up in submission. “B-beat my ass raw. Please,” she begged him with teary eyes.

“Since you're sure...” She nodded and he placed his claws upon her plush cheeks, prepared to tenderize them.

Rubbing slow circles with her buttocks, she shivered and wiggled her butt in anticipation. A mewl shot through her gritted teeth when the first blows rained down, making the supple flesh wobble and redden. Repeatedly he swatted the jiggling cheeks with audible smacks that echoed down the cave, mixed with her lusty, shamefaced moans. “Ah...oh...Spike...”

“You've been a bad girl,” he grumbled between his spanks. “But I'll bring out the good one you are at heart!”

“Yes! I...I need to be absolved,” she hissed, wincing and nearly shutting her eyes, curling her lip as pain and pleasure mixed into one, the heat radiating across her ass each time he pounded it. Sometimes he would pause, spread her cheeks to admire her puckered asshole, the leak of her puffy moist labia over her inner thighs, and massage the pink marks he left on her rump.

He kissed her ass tenderly, taking care to make sure his future lover was okay before he resumed his punishment. She sobbed softly, huffed and writhed, clenching her holes, burning up below and wishing he'd fuck her again.

But no, she needed to endure this, to put the guilt and shame behind her lest it creep up anew.

“You've given me a gift none of my harem have,” he admitted kneading her derriere. “I've always been afraid of my dragon instincts, that I'd hurt my lovers or worse, but even with my fellow dragons I couldn't cut loose like this!”

Sunset sniffled and sat up in his lap, gripping around his neck. “Th-thank you. How about I take control now?” He nodded, and her twat drooled over his twin, aching cocks, lining them up with a hand to take those throbbing masses into her loveholes.

His claws dug into the flesh of her ass when she sank down with a muffled, “Umph.” She rode him, gradually at first, bounced on his fleshy rods, their ridges scraping her spongy g-spot in a playful massage. His swollen testicles were incredible hot, slathered in her cunt nectar, their nostrils filled with their combined, overpowering musk. “I want more of your seed.”

She cast back her head and arced her breasts with a moan when his tongue circled her nipples and squeezed her tits, one taken into his snout, distended far as he could when he nibbled, nipped, and pulled on the tender flesh, now drenched in saliva.

“Oh Spike~!” He battered her insides, and she clenched down on him, milked him for all he was worth, until he unloaded into her with a growl. The impact of his cumshots shooting into her womb pushed her over the edge, and she strained her face and trembled, the pair hugging each other close as she squirted all over his dicks and balls, the honey running down his legs and tail. 

The moment they came down from their orgasm, their lips immediately mashed, letting out their passions in their afterglow.

He's gotten bigger again. Because of me. He saved me, but in order to do so, he's had to let loose his instincts. And while I'm sure it fell wonderful to him, it will come at a heavy price. No, I have to repay the favor. Whatever he needs from me.

“I'm...ready to see Celestia now. Trouble is, I can't walk.” A pleasant ache filled her holes.

“Sorry about that, Sunset. I'll carry you.” He swept her up bridal-style, planted a peck on her temple, and prepared to fly back. Thankfully when they emerged it appeared this cave wasn't that far away from the palace, which he could see on another mountain in the distance, locked in a brilliant illumination compared to the dreary area around them.

Unfurling his wings he cast off. Waterfalls spilled from parts of the mountain where their destination lied into the abyss below. Few could ever hope to reach this area. He figured the airship that once belonged to the sky pirates would struggle.

She held him and snuggled up to his barrel chest. Soon would come the moment of truth for the fallen champion.


*****


“Sunset Shimmer.” Celestia rose from her throne, head held high, lips pursed when she looked down from her perch at her former student. She'd come before her, naked and ashamed, and bowed low, barely able to keep the tears from her eyes. Spike sat on his haunches awkwardly, trying not to intervene since Sunset had asked him to let her handle this alone.

“L-Lady Celestia...” Sunset trembled and lifted her chin to meet her cool, imperious stare. “I've failed you.”

“Yes,” said Celestia who strolled down the stairs with a peerless grace, almost blinding in her brilliance. In her hands materialized a white broadsword, the same one she'd used to knight her, and lifted it above Sunset's head.

Sunset's lower lip trembled and she couldn't restrain her tears. She closed her eyes and steeled herself, certain she would be executed for her weakness, that maybe it was what she deserved. She blinked in surprise when warmth washed over her, and Celestia took her hand, pressing the sword into it. “Wh-what...?” It hummed in her grip.

“Rise,” said Celestia and she did so. “You've earned this.”

“This is...?” Sunset's eyes widened when the white sword glowed and caught ablaze in a pale blaze. The purifying blaze washed over her, yet she was unharmed, filled with a warmth that encased her. Upon her nakedness manifested a pristine unitard and over that shimmering armor to match. She burst into tears in realization that she'd been chosen again.

To her shock Celestia was moved to tears, too. “I was wrong. I pushed you too hard, because I didn't want you to make the same mistakes I did. It's what I've always done, why I drove Luna away for a time. Your failures are mine.”

“Thank you,” said Sunset who sheathed the saber, the flame momentarily snuffed out with a hiss. She sank into Celestia's open arms, and cried out when the two embraced, Spike breathing a sigh of relief it had all worked out. For a moment he'd almost leaped to her defense, in fear she might really behead her student, used to all the cruel laws he'd witnessed across the land.

“You did well, Spike. Unfortunately, I lied when I said I could restore the Fire Ruby.”

Spike frowned. “What? Well, I guess it's okay, since I was able to help Sunset-”

Celestia raised a hand to silence him. “A white lie. I lack the power needed to restore it. Yet I know someone who can.”

Sunset looked at her. “You mean-?”

“Yes. My fellow 'Goddesses' are headed here. That includes my sister and a close friend of ours. More like family, far as I'm concerned. You probably wish to stay with Spike, don't you? You should follow your heart. I bestowed part of my power on you to protect this region, but most of the evil has been driven from in through your efforts. It will keep a while, I'm certain.”

Spike nibbled his lower lip. “Luna's headed here, huh? She's kind of scary. Wonder who the other Goddess is?”

“You'll like her. She's an expert in love.” Celestia winked. “Until then, rest and relax.”

She led them back to the massive pool and stepped in. Spike followed, then Sunset, who stripped off her garments and slunk in next to him. Steam rose around the trio and perfume scents wafted from the waters. Sunset's body was particularly tender after Spike's assault, and his pain proved even worse after he'd come down from a potion that had kept him hard for hours.

Thankfully the bath eased their pain, mixed with a touch of their hostesses' magic. Sunset lathered her palms in soap and rubbed Spike's firm muscles, watching the suds run down his well-cut mass. She sopped up her own breasts, and pressed them onto his chest, while he ran his claws through her soaked hair, down her slender back, and over her wide hips and pert bottom.

Much as both wanted each other they were content to simply be in the presence of one they loved. He sensed the nobility in her, the same kind he'd tried to achieve, after he'd seen how selfish and cruel so many drakes were.

Another adventure is almost at a close. Can't wait to meet whoever can restore the Fire Ruby. I wonder how she'll do it?
> Chapter 4
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A day later Spike was roused from his sleep by the voice of the hostess. He stirred in the bunched up blankets with a wide yawn, cuddled up with Sunset Shimmer, sunlight streaming through the glass and keeping them warm. With a wiggled of his fin ears and a snort he mumbled, “Wait...that's not Celestia's voice? Luna's either, come to think of it.”

“It's the Goddess of Love,” said Sunset who pressed her nakedness to him. “At least, that's what some call her.”

“No need to rise,” came the musical lilt. “I've made you breakfast in bed!” Another tall, voluptuous woman made her way in, her long hair ending in curls. Her eyes and smile were warm, and her nude figure was enveloped in crystalline sparkles, her breasts giving a slight bounce and her hips swaying when she made her way over carrying a tray.

Gems of various varieties shimmered, and next to them was a stacked of pancakes glazed in honey. Their mouths watered when the meal was placed before them with a clink, the newcomer sitting on her haunches and studying them.

“Cadance,” said Sunset. “I haven't seen you in forever.”

“It's good to see you again. And to finally meet Spike. After you helped the coven,rumors of your exploits reached even my country.” She tittered softly. “Luna's here too, by the way. The sisters wish to see you when you're done.”

Spike gulped, recalling how intense the Goddess of the Night was. He grinned when Sunset pushed a gem into his mouth, and he pulled off a piece of pancake, the pair grinning while they fed each other and sucked on their fingers.

“Should I leave you alone?” Cadance winked. “We'll be back soon.”

The couple finished their breakfast. They dipped their fingers in honey, sticking them into their lover's mouth, slowly taking the digits past the knuckle and suckling on them. He hissed and she cooed, their bellies stuffed to overfill.

Soft footsteps sounded when Celestia, Luna, and Cadance strolled in, the latter holding the still inert Fire Ruby. “To make it whole again,” the Goddess of Love began. “We must fill it with love. Sisters, will you help with that?”

A blackish-purple miasma rolled around Luna's bare form. “You did aid the coven, who are like daughters to me. Not to mention Twilight Sparkle, Trixie Lulamoon, and Moondancer spoke quite highly of you, Spike. Yes, I shall do it!”

“And you saved my champion,” said Celestia. “Soon, she'll be able to repay the favor.”

Sunset cocked an eyebrow curiously, and Cadance set the Fire Ruby aside on a desk. The three Goddesses wiggled their fingers, dispersing the radiance, mists, and sparkles that obscured their luscious forms, bared to the dragon in all their glory. His breath caught in his throat, their supple, fertile flesh beyond compare, and he nearly drooled while he fully took them in.

“I think he approves,” said Cadance with a titter.

“Just lay back and allow us to take care of you,” mused Celestia. “I want you to help us too, Sunset.”

She rose and asked, “I assume you mean take care of him by...?”

“Copulation, yes.” Luna watched him recline and studied his sheathe. “It has admittedly been quite a while...”

Celestia giggled. “All business and little pleasure,” she said and pulled Sunset to her side. Following her lead, the foursome knelt before him, heart-shaped asses stuck in the air, and started to fondle his swollen nutsack and sheathe. He growled in approval through clenched teeth, casting back his head, his rapidly swelling cocks arising and slapping them across the face.

Splotches of salty precum dribbled down their faces, and they ran their palms up-and-down his glazed pink dicks and the fleshy ridges that decorated them. Their nostrils flared, inhaling his musk which made their pussies inflame and moisten.

“Will this actually work?” Sunset furrowed her brow. “Sex doesn't necessarily mean love.”

“Your passion for him is certainly real,” said Cadance who nudged her ribs. “Love comes in many forms.”

Sunset asked, “But what about your husband...?”

“Oh, we have an open relationship. Actually, he gets the better end of the deal. He has access to my entire staff of maids while I'm away.” She raised her hand to her mouth with another soft titter. “I'm sure he's having a threesome as we speak.”

“Enough talk,” said Luna. “Sister, let us show Spike how grateful we truly are!”

Celestia nodded with a cheeky grin. “Indeed. Try not to cum too soon, okay Spike?”

“No worries. I'm an expert at edging,” noted Cadance who hungrily attacked one of his cocks with her tongue. The others struggled to keep up with her messy, sloppy licks, his pre dribbling down his shafts, dribbling off his ridges and sticking to their lips in ribbons mixed with their saliva. They kissed all over his slimy tool, sucking and pulling on the fat, pink flesh.

“Holy crap!” Spike's face scrunched up under their slow, sensual licks, and whenever his dicks started to throb Cadance would wiggle her fingers and somehow block his churning balls from release. He wheezed and whimpered under a series of dry orgasms, his face twisting lewdly and his eyes watering, her loving giggles almost cruel at the power they held over him.

Snorting in frustration, he seized Cadance and Celestia by their hair, driving them down onto his tools. Sunset and Luna sucked on his precum-glazed testicles, burning hot, the foursome wiggling their ripe peach bottoms and happily suckling away.

While they worked the Fire Ruby shimmered, casting a soft pink glow over them. He thrust his hips up, sinking down their throats balls deep, grunting and snapping at the air with primal need. His pre filled their mouths to the point they were forced to drink the salty tang down, which settled warmly into their bellies while he roughly facefucked them.

He released his current prey with a wet pop, and grabbed Sunset and Luna instead, who he drove down. He groaned in approval at the four who worshiped his cocks, oozing down their slick inner thighs to form puddles on the shiny floor.

Their muffled moans sounded, helpless to do anything more than take him, faces burning a bright scarlet. He ran his claws through their messy hair, huffing and snarling and throbbing, desperate to pump his loads into them.

The Fire Ruby started to hover and pulse with a hum, so overfilled with energy it threatened to crack again.

With a snap of her fingers Cadance released Spike, and he barely withdrew in time, his cocks flaring and unleashing a torrent of his backed up splooge all at once. The white waterfall landed all over his lovers with wet slaps, their mouths opening wide and their tongues sticking out to catch the mess that ran down their faces and curves in a messy cascade.

They turned and shared drawn out kisses, swishing his thick seed in their mouths, gargling and swapping them. It stuck to their bare skin, and they rubbed it in circles into their wet tits, while he emptied more small sprays all over them.

Cadance panted with a slow lick of her moist lips and murmured, “It's done. Approach it, Sunset.”

Reluctantly she rose and walked away from her lover, her cum-stained hips and ass swishing when she strolled to the Fire Ruby. Warmth filled her that radiated from the gem. “What the-?” Her skin started to shimmer in an angelic fashion.

“You're about to reach what I always intended for you,” said Celestia. “You wanted to help him too, didn't you?”

Luna nodded that she understood. “Ah, I see. Sunset means to temper his dragon instincts which have started to overwhelm him.” She too noted that he'd become larger, stronger, and a little bolder since their last brief encounter.

The illumination enveloped Sunset until she was briefly a mere silhouette. From it emerged a seraphic version of Sunset, complete with a white plumage, and she further filled out her already impressive physique to match the Goddesses.

She softly sobbed in bliss, and offered a hand to Spike which he took with a warm smile.
> Chapter 5
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surrounded by a soothing warmth that made him tingle all over, Spike believed it must be a dream. The angelic woman before him radiated with white hot intensity, bare feet hovering above the reflective polished floors, her beatific smile trained on him. A glowing horn protruded from her forehead, her hair swirling above her, her bared shapeliness illuminated.

“You've taken care of me,” said Sunset who stroked his cheek. “Allow me to do the same.”

He peered around the white void. “The others...?”

“To them we appear to be asleep. Which isn't entirely untrue. We're in a shared daydream, of sorts. Celestia always warned me I have to be careful how I use the power I borrow from her, or else I could place the whole world under a peaceful spell. Sometimes I'm tempted, but I wouldn't want to rob mankind's freedom, no matter how cruel many of them are.”

She crawled atop him raked her nails down his muscles, gently pushed him back. “I don't feel like I usually do,” he said.

“I've soothed your dragon instincts. That way you won't lose control. Consider this a form of...hands on healing. Therapy, if you will.” She was straddling him, her hot womanhood pressed to his crotch. “By the time we're done, you'll shrink back down.”

Spike grinned. “And all we have to do is make love? I'm down.”

Sinking down onto his equipment, she closed her eyes with a subdued moan and slid his twins into her. Her breasts pressed flat against his pecs, and his claws dug into her buttocks, her hips rocking into him. She tenderly clawed back at his scales, and the surprisingly soft leathery skin below. She crushed her lips to his, the couple playfully nipping at each other.

Gradually she shifted atop him, his wings curling about her, his tail tickling her back, starting at the dimples of her bottom and tracing up her spine. “I know it's a little soon, but...I love you, Spike. I've never connected with someone so fast.”

“Well, we've both lived pretty secluded lives.” His hot breath fell on the inside of her ear, which he playfully nipped at, his palms running over her soft, squishy asscheeks, tracing around her stomach, up to the swell of her plush tits.

He couldn't wait to introduce her to the rest of his lovers, and hoped they would take to her, too. He'd noticed tension between some of them but nothing that couldn't be overcome with work. His claws wrapped around her midsection, lifted her up and pushed her back down, burying himself fully into her. She smiled with a blush, easily able to take him completely.

Her lips met his snout, his long tongue wrapping around her own, her palms wandering over his firm pecs and his scaly ass. She squeezed down on him, moaning with him, drawing into his wingspan and pressing to his chest, her sweaty breasts swinging and slapping into his muscles with a wet slap. “Oh fuck,” she cried when he picked up his pace, her eyes closing as she yelled.

Her dam shattered on him, her cascade drenching his groin, down his strong legs and tail. She trembled in his grasp, gritting her teeth, and he grunted under the pressure, soon loosing back into her with explosive, messy spurts that impacted her walls.

Trembling in his grasp, she admitted, “I never want this to end.”

“It doesn't have to. You'll have every day with me, if you want it.” He caressed her hair, using his arms, wings, and tail to press her close to him. “Is it done? You've helped ease my baser instincts and I've removed the 'evil' from you, right?”

“Yes, but...where will it go? I need to hurry out of this dream and cleanse it.” With some reluctance she willed herself to awaken, certain that Luna would sense her need and carry them back to reality.


*****


“The lovebirds are back,” noted Cadance with a titter. She and the sisters watched the pair who were intertwined in a bundle of blankets spread across the floor. “Sweet dreams, I take it? You two certainly appear pleased.”

“Yeah...” Sunset flushed, her nude curvature laced in perspiration. “So, about the darkness I exorcised-”

Luna nodded. “We had best act quickly, sister.”

Celestia said, “It has to go somewhere. Evil cannot be destroyed, merely contained. Actually, I also created this palace to be a prison for darkness. All we need to do is locate it, and-” She and Luna stared wide-eyed at a black mist that descended.

“Too late!” Sunset pursed her lips when she spotted the eerie miasma, and mentally summoned her blazing white sword of flame and armor, golden wings jutting from her back and floating off the ground. Two-handed strokes bit into the inky wisps, scattered them, but the sins she'd cleansed from so many were innumerable, and threatened to swallow them up.

Spike was instantly at her side and scattered some of the darkness with his own fiery breath, smoke pouring from flared nostrils. Yet the couple could only watch, helpless, when Celestia and Luna were enveloped in a bleak shroud, unable to move.

“Why isn't effecting us....?” Cadance stared at the Fire Ruby in her hands and sucked her lower lip in understanding. “It's protecting us! But something in Celestia and Luna is resisting its protection! They must have some unresolved issues!”

The gloomy cloud swirled from the sisters, who had undertaken new appearances, standing taller and bolder than ever. A sea of stars made up Luna's mane who announced, “CALL ME NIGHTMARE MOON, PEASANTS!”

Celestia's hair blazed like the sun who announced, “AND I AM DAYBREAKER! JOIN US, CADANCE!”

“I-I won't!” Cadance took a step back and kept the Fire Ruby clasped to her warm bosom.

Nightmare Moon scoffed. “YOU'VE ALWAYS PREFERRED CADANCE TO ME!”

“NONSENSE, SISTER! JEALOUS, ARE WE?” The siblings stared each other down, wrapped in blinding, burning light and cold, empty darkness, the building soon shaking under the power they radiated. Cracks spread across the floor, fragments of the cracked ceiling toppling with clinks, until the top crumbled with thuds and the pair took skyward to do battle.

They watched them speed above in the skies, leaving trails behind them, the heavens quaking under the explosive magic they unleashed, shouting and raging and hurling abuses from all the pent up feelings they'd tried to suppress.

“YOU THINK MY JOB IS EASY? ALWAYS HAVING TO PRETEND I'M PERFECT?”

“YOU FAIL TO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE!”

“ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF? YOU'RE SECOND IN POWER TO ME, AND IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH! WHAT DO I HAVE TO SHOW FOR MY POSITION/ MORE RESPONSIBILITY?”

“EVERYONE'S EYES ON YOU WHILE I LANGUISH ALONE!”

“WHAT ABOUT YOUR LITTLE CULT? I'M THE ONE WHO HAS TO LIVE ALONE, WATCHING OVER THE WORLD!”

Cadance shook her head. “I thought they were finally past this. Please, will you save them? I'd do it myself, but-”

Sunset studied the Fire Ruby. “You have to focus on that or we'll end up corrupted, too. I understand.”

“Don't worry. I've got your back,” said Spike who unfurled his wings. “I'd offer you a ride-”

“Not necessary,” replied Sunset who shared a grin with him. “Time was I would be sent to slay the dragon. Glad I found something better! Let's go!” She hurtled skyward with him, explosions rippling when the supposed Goddesses wrestled for dominance. 

The darkness fed on their negative emotions, amplified them, until they were reduced to forces of nature.

Celestia picked me to be her champion. I can't let her down again. And with someone like Spike by my side, I won't. It's nice to finally have someone I can share my burden with, who can fight with me as an equal.

Together, the sisters would be unstoppable. They'd tear the planet apart. We have to stop them before they team up!
> Chapter 6
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The skies were framed by the sun and moon, both called up at once by the sisters who many mortals viewed as Goddesses, night and day fighting for dominance much like they did. The siblings raced about in circles, bathed in light and darkness respectively, Celestia and Luna continuing to vent their frustrations in a barrage of insults and spectacular magic.

Thankfully with Cadance's aid the palace was protected, for the moment. Yet it took all her might, aware that she wasn't quite on their level, that they had been born this way and were far older while she had merely ascended to her status with their help. Another stray blast buffeted the barrier she raised, and she whined under the impact, shaken and clasping to the Fire Ruby.

From the hole the pair had made she witnessed the battle play out. Spike and Sunset Shimmer raced to stop them, but struggled to close the distance, the air itself twisting under the thunderous blasts they unleashed which collided with a boom.

“Be careful,” she said to herself, pressing the heart-shaped object to her bare bosom, warm and alive with their love.

“STAND DOWN SISTER,” cried Nightmare Moon her voluptuous form swathed in cold miasma that rolled about her.

“AND LISTEN TO YOU BITCH AND MOAN SOME MORE? IT'S TIME I PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE,” called back Daybreaker, the discharge of beams from their hands colliding, shaking the heavens, and hurling them back. Yet they buzzed back like angry hornets, eyes aglow and their power building by the moment, amplified by the evil that gripped them.

A nod passed between Spike and Sunset; he would deal with the lunar witch and she with her mentor.

Throwing all his weight into a dive, Spike smashed into Daybreaker, grappling with her, ignoring the blazing heat she radiated which barely tickled him. His muscles strained, veins threatening to pop, pinning her on a mountaintop while she hissed and spat and cursed. Uncertain what to do now, he hoped that whatever Cadance planned would soon come into effect.

At the same time Sunset slashed through the miasma with a shimmering arc, felt the bitter cold roll over her, and with the butt of her white sword struck down Nightmare Moon. The supposed Goddess shrieked, barely able to take the paladin's radiant presence, which now threatened to burn the evil out of her. “Oh no you don't,” called Sunset who grabbed her by the arm when she tried to teleport away. They reappeared near the still trashing Spike and Daybreaker. “What now?”

“Hoped you'd know,” he answered with a grunt, his full weight pressed on Daybreaker who blazed with such fury the air twisted, steam rose, and the few plants that dotted the rocks burst into flames. Thankfully dragons were built to endure temperatures that would melt anyone else, yet she was starting to smolder so much he worried it would be too much even for him. Could she eventually empower herself to the point where she was hotter than the sun's surface?

“Can't hold them forever,” said Sunset who pulled Nightmare's arm behind her back.

Exchanging a look, the sisters shared a nod, accepting a temporary truce. Instead of throwing about their powers wildly the two so-called Goddess instead focused them as one. “What the...” Spike shook his head at their sudden calmness, their eyes closed and their bodies limp, certain they must be up to something but unable to imagine what.

“Look out!” Sunset was forced to release her prisoner,  Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker opening their eyes as one,  unleashing a blast of power that resonated in harmony. A dome of darkness and light turned into a dome of energy that expanded and tossed Sunset and Spike back, and the sisters rose skyward, their faces twisted in fury.

“Oh no. We've made things even worse!” Sunset gripped her sword's hilt and readied herself.

A voice telepathically called into Spike's and Sunset's heads, “Can you hear me? It's Cadance.” The pair nodded and hastened to dodge the beams that hissed their way. “They'll burn out eventually. That will be your chance. I'm sorry to risk your lives like this, but...I needed to find a way to make them work through their issues, ease the tensions between them.”

Sunset grimaced when she weaved around a fireball. “You set this up?!”

“...yes. Forgive me. But without them I wouldn't be what I am now. I owe them, and want to save them. You understand that, don't you? How we all have to make sacrifices? Please,” pleaded Cadance. “Save them!”

Sunset nodded, the air now filled with a chilly haze. “We'll do our best!”

Despite the situation Spike and Sunset couldn't help but revel in the moment, able to fight side-by-side. They weaved through the skies, on the defensive, dodged the abuse the sisters hurled their way, barely able to keep up. United, the resentment between Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker began to cool, and with it the hold of evil that gripped the siblings.

For hours the battle continued. Cadance watched from the palace, the Fire Ruby still pressed to her breast, her mouth drawn into a line. A deed she once performed to help the sisters had granted her a boon, a small portion of their power shared with her which allowed her to ascend. She would never be quite as powerful, but helped protect the world from her own nation.

Unlike them she needed love to strengthen herself, one which her husband, Shining Armor, could only provide so much of. So instead she'd had to turn to sharing it with others, and with that mutual understanding she often traveled the lands, helping others. Now came the time when she could repay the siblings and save them from themselves.


*****


Several hours later the battle ended. The sun and the moon hung suspended in a sky split between night and day, Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker now unconscious and carried back by Sunset and Spike. They placed them before Cadance in the throne room, the Fire Ruby placed back on a column while they decided what to do with the weakened sisters.

Sunset asked, “So we seal the 'evil' in the palace?”

“Unfortunately it won't be that easy,” admitted Cadance. “First, I'll need more, ahem, 'love' to make that possible. It's what I draw my power from. Will you two help me with that? Sorry to ask so much of you, but-”

Spike couldn't help but drink in her nude, voluptuous body. “It's no trouble at all!”

“I don't mind either,” said Sunset who made sure the sisters were comfortable in the blankets and pillows they set out.

“Good. No need to hold back with me. I can take it. The fact that I gained my powers from them means I can tap into theirs, too. Normally I'd be no match for them, but in their weakened state with enough love, well...” Cadance sidled up to Sunset and started to undo her armor. Piece-by-piece she removed it, exposed here curves under the interior's gentle light.

Pressed breast-to-breast when they embraced and moved into a slow, sensual kiss, Spike's loins stirred, barely able to keep his claws off them. Not that they would deny him, but he wanted to take it slow, aware that love would bolster her much faster than pure lust. He needed to show them he cared, that they were wanted and needed beyond his basest instincts.

They smiled at his approach, pressed their bodies to him and each other, basked in the warmth they shared. The women shared soft kisses with him and between them, wet smacks that sounded while his claws started to wander over their suppleness.

“You're one of the most beautiful women I've ever met,” he confessed with a stroke of her mane.

“Thank you,” whispered back Cadance who reclined under him.

Sunset asked, “Can you make love to both of us at once? I want to share this with her.” She squeezed Cadance's hand.

He nodded. “Might be difficult in this position, though.” Cadance turned herself over, rose to her hands and knees, her plush, heart-shaped bottom raised in his direction which she slowly rocked back-and-forth with a titter. Sunset swung a leg over Cadance, mounted her in a similar position, planted a tender kiss on the woman below while they presented themselves to him.

A lustful hiss escaped between his teeth, his roads swelling out his sheathe. He pressed his cocks between their buttocks, and they mewled with their own insatiable needs, breathed in his musk and their own, their pussies wet and ready to be taken.

Mounting them, he carefully raked his claws over their flesh with all the tenderness he could manage, his breath hot upon their backs. Whines sounded when he pressed into him, spread them wide, sinking into their depths where he lodged himself. His ridges traced their sticky pink walls, kissed their g-spots, his tips pushed against their cervices when he began to move.

“Oh Sunset...Spike...” Cadance blushed bright, heavy tits swaying under his thrusts, groped by Sunset above. Their asses bounced under his pounding, and he reached around with his tail, sunk the spaded tip up her puckered asshole.

Sunset couldn't help but burn with a moment's jealousy, and realizing this from the twitch of her face he angled her ass up some more and his snout down, extended his tongue the most he was able and sank the moist, fleshy muscle into her pink butthole. “Ah,” she cried with her own face flushed, felt him wiggle in her, wanting to please his lovers however he could.

His humps picked up their pace. Their asses wobbled under repeated smacks. Certain they were now ready, he pierced past their last barrier, sunk into their wombs, and they whined in bliss, fully claimed, all pain submerged under pleasure thanks to the chemicals his precum pumped into his mates to prepare him for such entry, to ensure they were properly seeded.

Their eyes rolled into their heads, and they contracted around him, continued to hungrily kiss and touch each other, their passions shared between them. His claws and the smaller ones on his wings wrapped around their tits and buttocks, kneaded them, felt the soft flesh squish under his grip, the nipples pinch and twist, and he growled in delight.

He unloaded into them. Repeated spurts impacted their walls, pushed them to climax too, and their messy squirts washed over him and each other, their shrill screams echoing around him and smoke pooling out his nostrils. Their bellies swelled up under a cascade of cum that swished in them, their minds numbed under a sea of ecstasy, temporarily undo by repeated orgasms.

He emptied his balls into their cores, felt the heavy orbs burn and pulse with his cocks, driven to his own sense of euphoria when his instincts told him he'd claimed a couple more females. Of course his softer, more rational side knew he couldn't take Cadance with him permanently, nor was it likely she would bear his eggs and would instead take a contraceptive potion later, but for the moment he was content to simply love them, satisfied that he'd pleased them and himself.

A pop sounded when he pulled free of them. Their gaped cunts oozed with his semen and pooled underneath. Cadance rolled to face Sunset, held her back and kissed her some more, their sweaty skin aglow in their afterglow. He cuddled up to them, enveloped him in his wingspan and tail, ran his claws through her locks and down the curves of their backs.

“You're wonderful,” he whispered to them both.

Cadance smiled back. “Thank you both.” She started to sparkle like she was made of crystal, turned transparent, tapped into more power than she'd wielded since the time she and her husband faced invaders into their lands such as Chrysalis and Sombra. Her rounded belly pressed on Sunset's, felt his heat swish in them, impossibly full and sated for now.

“It's time, huh? What do you plan to do,” asked Sunset.

“Tap into Luna's abilities,” explained Cadance who brushed her cheek. “You two will have to invade their dreams, and pull them back. While you do that I'll attempt to trap the evil in the palace again. Now close your eyes and go to sleep.”

I have to put my faith in those two. Much as it pains me to admit it, I can't do this alone. I've always supported others, but have rarely gotten to take the lead myself. But all that matters is making sure Celestia and Luna are okay.

I wonder, what will Spike and Sunset see in their dreams? Or will it be nightmares? All of you, be well...
> Chapter 7

Everywhere Spike turned,it was a smooth sea of white, milky and smooth in contrast to the dark void around him. Sand? The texture was all wrong as his claws dug into it, and he stalked on all fours, followed the slope with tentative steps. He reminded himself this was a dream if Cadance's plan worked, that whatever happened he couldn't die...could he?

“Sunset!” He called her name again and again with no answer other than the distant echo of his voice. “Cadance, can you hear me?” His ears flicked but there remained no response. He sighed, stretched his wings, and sailed up a slop before him.

The mountain before him rose. Heat radiated from it. He sailed faster with a frustrated grunt, determined to find his partner and the sisters so they could finally put a close to this. The curve trailed upwards, and finally gave way to a pastel pink.

“Huh?” He followed the colorful circle, saw it rise, touched down on it. A thin indention marked the nub. He poked it with a nail, and it rose, nearly throwing him off as he clung to it, felt it twitch and wobble under his grasp.

“How rude,” boomed a deep voice. “Tell me, do you treat your beloved Rarity this way?”

He swung on the nub which thrust forward, stared up at the face of Daybreaker who filled his vision. Swallowing, he gazed around him in the realization he was suspended from the nipple of the Solar Goddess, the titan completely nude he noted when his eyes wandered to the fiery bush that settled above her vulva's cleft. Reluctantly, he sailed off her and met her stare.

She's breathtaking. I've met so many beautiful women, but Celestia, Luna, and Cadance are on a whole 'nother level!

“Like what you see?” She grinned and shook her breasts, let the squishy flesh sway and bounce back-and-forth with a titter.

“Uh, yeah. Who wouldn't? That's not why I'm here, though.” Trouble is, what did he plan? She was so imposing, so...divine. Nonetheless, he bared his rows of razor teeth. “You have to set Celestia free! Otherwise, I'll...I'll-!”

She cast back her head and laughed. “You'll what? Boast and bluster? You're quite puny, for a dragon!”

“Hey, I-I just need a few more growth spurts! I'm a late bloomer!” Yet her taunts sparked an idea in him. This was a shared dream, and so he reasoned it would all come down to a battle of wills. He imagined the largest dragon he knew...Torch. Usually he cowered in his presence, but he'd felt bolder with each female who joined him, and knew he needed to thank Rarity, Ember, and Smolder in particular. They more than anyone had bolstered him, supported him, challenged him to rise as a drake.

Daybreaker's eyes widened when he expanded before her, muscles and scales swelling with low grumbles, until he too absolutely filled the area, a match for her in size. He thrust out his cut chest with a toothy smirk, thumped a fist to it with a flare of his nostrils and a spatter of dark fumes. She drawled, “Impressive. You're now almost a match for me!”

“How about a test, then? Or more like a wager.” He wiggled his brow.

“Oh? Consider me intrigued.” She raised a hand to her mouth with a deep yawn that made the air shudder.

Spike tried to hide a small swallow. “You claim you're better than me in all ways, right?” In truth he wasn't sure if he could take her in a fight, and he'd always sucked at riddles. “How about...we make love?” He pressed a nail to her supple thigh, slowly traced it over her ample hips, over her navel and between her pendulous breasts. “The first one to orgasm, loses.”

“Mmm...is this simply a ploy to bed me? But very well. I doubt you can handle me, little drake.”

She reached out to touch his chest and he seized her wrist. “Wait. No tricks, no magic, no outside help or anything like that. Nothing that our physical forms isn't capable of without powers. Otherwise, anything goes.”

“So we just try and get each other off first? I like this game.” Her malicious smile spread. “A change of scenery, at least? It would help me get in the mood.” He nodded and with a click of her fingers the familiar vistas of the world spread around them. Mountains, blue skies, a few fluffy clouds, forests and rivers below, to his mind it was paradise.

Before he could truly adjust she pounced on him with a playful snarl. Taking his cocks that had already started to swell, she stuffed them into her lower holes without ceremony, assuming that like all men he'd bust his nut soon without need for foreplay.

The earth quaked under the impact when she slammed her hips and buttocks down. He groaned and spread her wide, felt himself sink deep, and she rocked atop him, nails digging into his chest and her tits clapping each time she gyrated. “Cum for me, little dragon. Empty your unworthy seed into my womb and bowels.” She moaned and clenched around him.

For a moment he enjoyed letting a lover take charge for once, but awareness that he had a mission to complete snapped him back. His claws tightened on her arms, and they wrestled, until he rolled her under him and pinned her down. Snarling and baring his teeth, he thrust in-and-out of her, made her quiver and mewl, watched her tits and hips quiver under the impact.

She giggled at his attempt to take command, the flames that made up her mane igniting, burning so intensely embers danced off his armored scales. Trees caught aflame with a hiss, the earth split, air twisted and water boiled to a bubble. She slammed him down and rode atop him, snarled and snapped back at him, determined to make certain he surrendered to his climax first.

The area shuddered under their passionate lovemaking. An entire mountain range crumbled in clouds of dust. Whole forests were flattened. He pushed back atop her, thankful this was a dream and no mortals would be harmed by their contest.

His eyes blazed white when he surrendered to the beast within. Unchained, veins were visible over his muscular which rippled, and he flipped her onto all fours, still buried in her, growled and pulled her fiery curtain of hair. Greedily his free claw explored her tits which swished about, the curve of amp0le buttocks which he spanked with thunderous claps.

The animal within needed to tame her. To conquer and dominate the Solar Goddess. He redoubled his efforts to fuck her.

She whined in submission, unable to best his unfurled might. He nipped the nape of her neck, rolled his tongue about her inner ears, used his tail to rub her inflamed clit, until its wetness slathered him. What she didn't know about dragons was that the males could learn to instinctively hold back their seed until their mates climaxed, that upon so their wombs would open and directly welcome the virile flood into their chambers, to make absolutely certain that they would bear his spawn.

In a dream this prove far easier. All his doubts and insecurities were stripped away in the heat of the moment.

“W-wait! I...I'm...” She closed her eyes, bit her lower lip, strained not to admit defeat.

Yet he felt her squeeze his cocks like a vise, pumped him for his semen, physically pleaded for it however much she wished to deny it. She squealed and blushed bright when she squirted all over him, shaken so much she was barely able to remain on her hands and knees. Repeated orgasms washed over her entirety, numbed her mind, made her quiver and mewl.

The moment she started to come down he snarled and emptied his balls. “Ah-?!” The flood of her insides made more climaxes wash over her. She collapsed under his bulk, twitching and moaning, the fire of her hair going out and replaced by the usual multitude of locks he was used to when the evil was driven from her. “Spike,” she whispered. “Thank you.”

He removed himself from her and drew her into his grasp, his eyes turning back to normal. “Are you okay?” She nodded. “Good.” He held her to him. “What about the 'evil'? Not to mention Sunset and Luna-”

“Don't worry, Cadance will contain the darkness in the palace, I'm sure. As for my sister and student, I imagine they're locked in their own confrontation as we speak. You must go to her. With the darkness taken from me, I fear I'm rather weak.”

He smiled. “Okay. Leave it to me!” With a nod, she vanished into the ether, awakened from her slumber.

Guess it's up to me. I'd like to think Sunset can handle this on her own, but we're in a realm Luna's used to...or should I say Nightmare Moon? I'm sure she's confident and in control here. No, much as I trust and respect Sunset, she needs my support!
> Chapter 8
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wandering about the lands he'd helped ruin, Spike had shrunken back to his standard size and sailed through the skies. It felt like hours passed amidst his travels, the sun dipping until night claimed it. No doubt proof his quarry was near. Stars twinkled in a curtain of darkness. He turned to a pale moon, enshrouded by blossoming clouds that eerily crawled past.

Torches sputtered to life far below. “Salem...?” He saw the familiar town in the midst of thick forests, alive with activity, the hunters rounding up the coven of witches who danced naked in celebration of their Goddess. He sucked in a breath, seeing Twilight Sparkle, Trixie, and Moondancer dragged nude in chains through the streets, ready to be burned at the stake.

“No! I-it's just a dream,” he reminded himself. Yet his chest tightened to see them with their heads hung, streaked in tears.

Pyres were being lit. A preacher read from his bible, the sentence passed for those who dared live outside their system. Worse still he heard more cries and realize they weren't the only group that was rounded up tonight.

“This is all that remains of their dismembered leader,” said a hunter in black who presented a familiar set of mismatched horns.

Discord? There was no way mere humans, no matter how well-trained and well-armed, could take him out...could they? He balled up his claws, wondering whether he should dive in and intervene, or trust that this was merely another illusion. 

The cult was also tethered and denuded, Fluttershy and Tree Hugger among them, who were similarly condemned to imminent execution. He watched them slump forward in defeat, the shine of stoked fires reflected off them.

He snarled and flared his nostrils that erupted with volcanic smoke, uncaring whether his former lovers were the real deal. He couldn't simply sit on the sidelines and watch them burn. His stomach bloated, boiled with molten fire like a cauldron, and he dove with a screech that made the hunters duck and cower, spitting a fiery cone that forced them to scatter.

Grayish-black vapors rose around the emerald blazes left in his wake. Arrows zipped from crossbows and bounced off his armored scales. He spat and swiped at the hunters with claws and tail, furiously beat his wings, eyes turned to slits.

“It's a demon,” a hunter cried. “Protect the women and children!”

“You dare call me a monster?! I don't kill innocents, unlike you!” He landed with a thud that made the area quake, raised his head and roared, spitting more fires at the sky. Much as he hated them, he hadn't slain a single one yet. “Let them go, and I'll leave! Otherwise, you'll face the full brunt of my wrath!” It's what he'd always wanted to do but never dared.

Torch forbid it. An all-out war between dragons and humans would drag in all the other mystical beasts, and in the crossfire the whole world might be destroyed, innumerable species driven to extinction. He'd always had to preserve that balance.

“Stand down demon,” warned the preacher who raised a torch by another unlit stake. “Or else...”

Upon the stake was suspended Sunset Shimmer, stripped like the rest of them, arms drawn out and tied by ropes to the makeshift cross. She shot him an apologetic look. “I don't know how they did it, but somehow I can't use my powers.”

“You coward,” said Spike to the preacher and stalked on all fours his way. But he dared not close in too close, uncertain that with her abilities stripped she would be able to survive the torch. For all he knew she was an ordinary woman now.

Taking a deep breath, he settled the fire in his belly, and tried to think up a solution like Rarity or Ember would do. They were usually the brains to his brawn. He hoped Sunset, Twilight, or Trixie would conjure up some solution for him.

Instead he trusted his instincts and turned his gaze back to the moon, where he saw it framed by a voluptuous female silhouette. “Nightmare Moon,” he called. “You're in control of all this, aren't you? Don't you care about your coven?!”

Malicious giggles sounded around him. “I have worshipers all over,” she answered. “They'll gladly martyr themselves for me!”

“Trixie is beginning to have second thoughts,” came a voice behind him.

“Silence! You're supposed to think only my thoughts!” Nightmare Moon descended in a black cloud before them. Fires were snuffed out in her cold presence. Hunters trembled, chains broke, those captured bowed in worship before the Goddess.

He stood his ground, refused to be intimidated. “A Goddess is nothing without followers,” he cried. “But isn't it also your duty to look after them?” He swept a wing towards the crowds. “You've let them all down!”

“Oh? What do you know? You're still so young, especially by the standards of your kind.” She strode forward with a sashay of wide hips, the sway of heavy breasts, naked save for starry vapors that trailed around her, silver bracelets, anklets, and a tiara on her temple. Her shimmery eyes were cat-like, and she licked pouty lips, her fangs partially exposed.

Swallowing, he said, “I know this is wrong. It doesn't take a genius to see this is evil.”

“Bah. Goddesses are above morality. We decide what is right and wrong.” She strode to him, pressed her palms to his muscular chest, her cool and plush body she pressed on him a contrast to his warmth and solidness.

“I can't accept that. Just let them go. Please.”

She tittered. “And why should I do that for free? I'm still not sure how you bested my sister, but this is my realm. Sunset couldn't keep pace with me here, so what chance do you have? Give yourself over to sweet surrender, Spike. Swear fealty to me, and you could have anything you ever wanted. Every female that ever crossed your path could be yours for the taking...”

To his shame his loins burned at the idea. A dragon could never truly have enough. But he shook his head and fought down those possessive instincts. “It wouldn't be real, and besides, I want their affection too, not just their flesh! Believe me, I...I'd love to take all of them as my lovers,” he confessed with his head bowed. “But only if they'd be happy with that...”

Around him he felt the soft crush of supple bodies. The women pressed themselves on his scales, draped their bared forms on him, stroked his muscles and peppered him in kisses. He wheezed with a pleasurable hiss under their ministrations.

“Are you sure? I can offer anything the outside world can, and more.” She brushed a palm over his hot sheathe, felt the dragonhoods contained within start to unfurl, unable to deny the ache in his groin that demanded he mate with them.

Grunting and groaning, his mind swam with fuzziness, hazed over eyes drawn to familiar loves who smiled and prostrated themselves before him, there to satisfy his every whim. To her wide-eyed surprised, the ropes that bound Sunset snapped and she strode beyond the preacher who like the hunters had ducked onto the sidelines, unwilling to interfere.

The women pushed him onto his back, crawled atop him, their curvature suddenly shiny with oils that glazed their silky skin. He found his muscles unresponsive, caught in what resembled sleep paralysis, but rather than a nightmare it was the wettest dream he'd ever had since puberty. They crawled over him, rubbed their bodies on him, kissed and bit and moaned.

“Ah...oh...” He whimpered and blushed, felt himself twitch and throb for sweet release.

“Relax and let us tend to you,” purred Twilight whose eyes were half-lidded. “I've really missed you, Spike.”

“Trixie knows you've missed these,” she teased with a comedic shake of her magically enhanced breasts which she wrapped around one of his slick cocks. She brushed her cheek against its pink, fleshy ridged surface with a grin and nibbled on one.

At the same time the witches tended to one of his dicks, Fluttershy and Tree Hugger lapped at its erect twin. “Mmm, salty.” The hippie breathed in his masculine musky, her cheeks rosy, she and her partner wrapping their sizable tits around his length.

“I-I can't hold back any longer,” said Shy who rose and lowered herself onto him. She closed her eyes with a soft moan, tightened her walls around him while he impaled her, and Hugs licked up the juices that dripped down his shaft and balls.

She raised his claws, placed one on her wide rump and hip, another on a pendulous tit. Soon she bounced atop him with lewd moans, and he wheezed too, unable to do more than take it, not that he would have stopped them if he could.

His other member was pushed into Trixie, whose faced was twisted with a crazed look of lust. “Tell me, do you appreciate Trixie's Great and Powerful pussy?” Despite her boldness he could almost hear the insecurity behind her proclamation.

“It's...it's wonderful,” he admitted honestly, and was rewarded when she further clamped her moist pink walls around him.

Twilight whined in disappointment she'd gotten to him first, but like Hugs settled for lapping at her partner's snatch and his cock and balls. She was rewarded by an involuntarily thrash of his tail and yelped when the spaded tip smacked her bottom.

Growling and tightened his eyes, he clenched up, groin afire to signal he was close. “C-careful,” he tried to warn them only to burst. He unloaded directly into his mates atop him, and the impact made them erupt in messy sprays too, bellies swelled to a bloat as he continually packed his virile cum into their fertile wombs. His blissfully anguished moans mixed with their own.

Above him his view was blocked by Nightmare Moon, who stood naked with her feet at the sides of his head, offering a perfect view of her thighs, womanhood, and buttocks, all sculpted to absolute perfection like her sister's. She cast a malicious smile down at him over the swell of her breasts. “This is the world I offer you. Are you sure you won't rethink it?”

His minds wandered to his family back home. He couldn't abandon his mates or the offspring he bore with them.

A flash of light pierced the darkness. Nightmare Moon cursed, Salem, the coven, the cult, the hunters, all of them vanished from the illumination that radiated from Sunset Shimmer's bare form on her approach. “How dare you-?”

“You let down your guard,” replied Sunset who tried to summon her armor but managed her blazing white sword instead. Her hand tightened around the hilt on her approach. “Now, let Spike loose or else-”

She was interrupted by two figures that closed in at her sides. Both of them were her, or more precisely aspects of her, a familiar angel and devil that resembled her, torn from the now mortal woman's flesh in this nightmare.

Hey seized her arms, lifted her up, and the blade slipped free of her grasp, their denuded bodies crushed seductively to hers. “Why settle for one Sunset Shimmer,” purred Nightmare Moon. “When you could have three?”

Spike strained to rise, aware he couldn't trust anything in this realm, that Nightmare Moon's confidence and experience with dreams made it almost impossible to match her will, but a need to return to his family and save them all pushed him on.

He bowled Nightmare Moon over when he rose, winced and landed on all fours. “Trying to tempt me with multiple Sunset Shimmers, huh? Two can play at that game,” he decided and closed his eyes in concentration.

It wasn't unlike when he'd become a titan to deal with Daybreaker. But this time his flesh divided, and he groaned with the sound of rent flesh, the twist of muscle, the crush of bone, roaring until a multitude of Spikes emerged around him.

“H-how? Impossible,” snarled Nightmare Moon who stamped a foot in frustration.

“Oh,” came a whimsical male voice from elsewhere. “He's had a guardian angel, of sorts, helping him this whole time.”

Nightmare Moon's eyes widened at his chuckle. “Discord? You dare interfere?”

“It's for the good of everyone,” he assured her. “Besides, I must admit it's positively delightful to watch this play out!”

Determined to again trap the dragon in a cycle of endless pleasures, Nightmare Moon tackled the Spike at the center, the one she assumed was the 'real one', and unceremoniously mounted him. He didn't resist her, his own claws sliding up to explore her in their own competition, while his duplicates closed in on Sunset Shimmer and her angel and devil counterparts.

Laughter and the crunch of popcorn sounded, Discord satisfied he was in for quite a treat!
> Chapter 9
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Burying himself in the velvet confines of Nightmare Moon, she tensed below Spike, clamping her holes around him in acceptance. She wheezed with him, their chests rising and falling in unison, her limbs wrapping around the hulking drake that mounted her. He hesitated to move for a moment, their gazes locked as she acclimated to his penetration.

Around them various portions of the outside world were haphazardly slapped together; Salem, the forests that Discord who watched the proceedings called home, the palace his body currently slept in, the dusty city of Gunsmoke, and a number of other places he wasn't familiar with that he assumed were drawn from Luna's memories.

He reminded himself none of them were real, including the inhabitants based on those they knew. An airship slowly sailed by the moon, Calaeno at the wheel while the pirates aboard, which included familiar faces like Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust, engaged in a drunken orgy, singing and dancing and firing their flintlocks into the starry sky.

Similar celebrations went on elsewhere, the cult under Discord dancing naked around a wild fire, their leader seated on his wicker throne, grinning and clasping Fluttershy and Tree Hugger to him, who bounced atop the four cocks he'd manifested, each one a comically large portion of a different animal's anatomy; a horse, a dog,a cat, and a dragon like his own.

“I-I've always wanted to try all kinds of things,” admitted Shy who blushed bright between heated yelps.

“Even a little pain feels good after a while babe,” added Hugs, the pair long used to his whimsical experimentation, knowing he desired constant novelty and were happy to sate his whims. She played with Shy's pendulous tits, shooting her a crooked grin.

Spike realized unlike most of those summoned here those two were the real deal. A little extra to help Discord with the show he and Nightmare Moon put on. He watched multiple arms of all sorts rise from Discord, grope his lovers all over, spank and knead their supple, bouncy flesh, as he knotted and skewered them to the hilt, their nectar leaking down his lengths.

Gradually he started to pump the lunar Queen, who wrestled with him, determined to seize control. Again-and-again they switched positions, and she rolled atop him, pressed her palms to his scaly chest and fucked him back.

From the corner of his eye he watched Sunset Shimmer sandwiched between the devilish and angelic versions of herself, their bare skin pressed to hers, kissing and caressing her. She writhed and moaned, burning all over.

Elsewhere Cherry Jubilee and her merry band of prostitutes put on a choreographed strip tease. She winked at him, she and her girls wiggling down their panties in unison and tossing them his way. Dozens landed on his face, each thick with their musk, a wet spot soaked into the crotches of the cotton. Pinkie and Marble giggled, Limestone's laugh more scratchy.

A tub in the dusty streets was filled by Applejack and Apple Bloom, who bathed their freckled skin. Splashes sounded, the overfilled basin running over, chatting while they laughed and helped each other bathe.

The last piece fell into place when he spotted the Badlands, where Torch watched over the volcanic lands from on high. “Look what your dear lovers have gotten up to while you're away,” said Discord and Spike followed his gaze to a pit of molten lava that bubbled and hissed. Gathered around it were spectators, mostly dragons, but he spotted Sweetie Belle who stood naked in the crowd. She and Smolder cheered on different combatants locked in battle at the center.

Somehow Rarity was able to survive the sheer heat, despite only being half-dragon now, wrestling with Ember, using their tails to aid their attack. Liquids ran down their curves, both determined to prove themselves worthy to be his alpha female.

“Don't worry,” said Discord who chuckled and landed another smack on the wobbly rumps of his lovers who whined and clamped harder onto him. “They worked it out in the end! Now, which of you can entertain me more?”

“Me,” assured Nightmare Moon who continued to bounce atop Spike. “He's but another dragon! Compared to him, my potential is limitless! Submit to me, Spike, and I offer you your wildest dreams! Think you're content with the harem you have now? Your kind always craves more, and by my side every female in the world will eventually submit to you!”

Giving him a taste of what she offered, with a wave of her hand she manipulated the dream world, and every woman here immediately swelled up heavily with his eggs, not even Sunset, Fluttershy, Tree Hugger, or Nightmare Moon herself spared. She rubbed her bloated tummy with both hands and giggled. “Imagined so many women you can't count them, carrying on your legacy...” She licked her lips, felt his cocks twitch inside her, unable to deny the thrill of the idea.

He shook his head still padded under a collection of wet panties, ashamed of himself. She guided his claw to one of her swelled tits, squeezed and milked it, milky sprays that were impossibly sweet hitting his snout and landing in his mouth.

No! I don't want to claim anyone by force!  Not even if it means I'll become bigger and stronger than Torch ever was! No, I'll win as many of them as I can the right way, prove that I'm worthy to be with them, no matter what I have to sacrifice!

Pushing her onto all fours, he seized control again, pulling her starry mane and picking up his pace with a grunt. She whined beneath him, tits swinging as he clawed at them and her buttocks, his eyes turning white, teeth bared, groaning and thrusting in a bestial manner to dominate her. Milk sloshed in her tits, her mouth open wide amidst submissive howls of pleasure.

He reminded herself she needed to be tamed by his cocks, too. That the evil must be fucked out of her!

Milk beaded the erect nipples of his would-be lovers and those who'd already chosen him. He sunk a claw into Nightmare Moon's mouth, and she suckled on it, the slap of flesh-on-flesh loud each time he pounded her wobbly buttocks.

“D-don't stop,” pleaded the once proud Queen, who writhed under the powerful drake.

Spike enlarged a little, further bolstered by his growing confidence, but still aware enough to remind himself he couldn't allow power to go to his head. Those around them were spurred on by his display, caught up in their own orgies and frantic masturbation, a mad world of hedonism, exactly what Discord had always desired only to be kept in check by his lovers.

Satisfied by the show, Discord clicked his fingers to end it with a bang. Everyone present came at once, Discord included, cocks pumping out ropes of thick cum that filled and covered lovers, volcanic squirts erupting in a harmony of desperate moans.

Some pussy nectar splashed on Spike from afar, not to mention Nightmare Moon's own that soaked his groin, continuing to milk his shafts with her holes as he wheezed and flooded her chambers, almost to the point it was painful as the trickster refused to let any of them go until he was satisfied. Discord growled, grasped the buttocks of the mewling Shy and Hugs, stuffed their wombs and bowels full with his own seed, until he collapsed back and they draped their sweaty forms on his chest.

“Wow,” muttered Sunset who slumped in a sweaty mess between her counterparts.

“You win,” said Discord who planted wet smacks on the lips of his lovers and continued to play with tits and buttocks that filled his numerous hands and paws. “Worry not, I'll make certain Cadance is able to help the sisters contain the evil this time!”

“Thanks,” replied Spike who cradled Nightmare Moon to him, unconscious as she started to revert back to Luna. “But why?”

“You mean, why help you? Because it amused me. Because you helped Fluttershy and Tree Hugger deal with such an intense libido even I struggle to keep up with them, the horny little nymphs!” He landed another smack on their rumps that made them pleasantly whimper. “Plus, think of it as another test, to prove whether you're worthy to become the next Dragon Lord.”

Spike thought it over and nodded.

No doubt he wants Torch removed from power and hopes to make me an ally. Well, why not? Fluttershy and Tree Hugger seem like they're able to keep his worst impulses in check...most of the time. And he's often helped me out.

Wherever he turned everyone slumped about, thoroughly fucked into exhaustion, faces twisted in subdued bliss. He smiled at them, particularly focus paid to Rarity, ready to return home soon with Sunset Shimmer in tow.
> Finale
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I...I don't want to cease to exist,” whined the demonic aspect of Sunset Shimmer, tears in her eerie eyes.

“Neither do I,” admitted the angelic Sunset, like her dark counterpart still wrapped nude around their host.

Sunset offered them both a sympathetic smile. “You don't have to,” she assured and stroked their hair. “You're both aspects of who I am. I understand that now. And without you, I'd never feel complete. You'll live on, inside me.” She planted an affectionate kiss on their lips, warmth filling her as the duo floated into her form, becoming one with it.

She stretched wide and yawned, her inner demons conquered...thanks to Spike's intervention. The haphazard smorgasbord of stitched together dreams had started to settle down, and she shared a grin with the drake, who still clasped the slumbering Luna in his powerful grasp. Sleepily she crawled over to him and placed her head on his strong, heated chest with a sigh.

I guess time doesn't pass here, does it? We'd better return soon, though. I want Celestia to see how far her champion has come.

Discord, who still had himself buried deep in Fluttershy's and Tree Hugger's lower holes as they sleepily made out, said, “Not to worry! I'll send you all back, when you're ready.” He casually ran multiple hands, paws, and claws over their supple flesh, unwilling to let his fun end so soon. “Promise me you two will pay me a visit sometime for more fun?”

“We'd like a few more rounds with Spike,” admitted Shy who half-lidded her eyes.

“You said it babe,” replied Hugs between their sloppy kisses. “Poor Discord can't always keep up with us, you know?”

Discord furrowed his brow, a little miffed, and swatted her hard on the rump which made her yelp. “Yes, well, there's that, too.”

“Count on us,” said Spike who couldn't deny how much he'd enjoyed their company. His gaze wandered over everyone here, from the inhabitants of Salem to Gunsmoke, and recalled his numerous adventures with fondness.

Another look at Rarity and the rest of his lovers reminded him of what waited back at home. Their bellies were still swollen, a reminder that he was a father now, and would need to settle down and take responsibility. Especially since he was situated to become the new Dragon Lord, as if what Ember told him was true he was tired and secretly wished to retire.


*****


After Spike, Sunset, and Luna awakened, they found themselves in a spacious bed. They were tended to by Celestia and Cadance, who were already naked, and slipped atop the silky sheets with them. “What-” began Sunset.

“Shhh,” murmured Celestia who pressed a finger to her lips. “Just let it happen.” She snuggled up to her, impossibly warm and soft and scented by the sweetest perfumes. “You've both made me so proud.”

“The evil's been contained in the palace,” assured Cadance who sat her heart-shaped bare bottom next to Spike's snout. “We can finally relax. And we think you deserve a little reward, if Luna doesn't mind...?”

“After all you've done for us, it's the least we can do.” Luna sat up and traced his scaly musculature. His tail flicked in anticipation. “I see you're also excited by the idea. I suppose we'll all have to share you.”

“Sisters should share,” whispered Celestia into her ear. They traced his pouch, teased out his twin erections, and settled themselves down onto him. Gradually he spread them open, let them acclimate themselves to his spears.

Not to be outdone, Cadance sat on his face, his maw buried between her soft cheeks as it sunk into her womanhood. His elongated tongue wiggled into her moist depths, teased circles around her cervix, then slipped past it directly into her slimy womb. She cooed and he traced her contracting walls, his claws digging into her squishy buttocks.

Sunset sat in front of her, straddled his muscular chest, which was soon wet by her need. She pressed her lips to Cadance's, felt Celestia's fingers slip into her pink twat, unwilling to let Shimmer be left unattended to. They held and caressed each other, and Spike messily ate out Cadance's pussy, who clenched around him and drenched him in spatters of her love nectar.

From behind Luna played with her sister's massive tits, unable to deny a little envy, her impressive bust still no match for Celestia's. Slowly the two started to move atop him, and were rewarded as his spaded tail reached up to stroke them.

They lost themselves in pure bliss. He growled into Cadance's core, who clenched down hard and came directly down his throat. Greedily he drank down her rapid fire squirts, felt it dribble over his snout and chin, and pumped his own massive, virile loads into the lovers who cheerily rode his cocks. Their bellies swelled, and they squealed and came too, overloaded.

“Oh fuck,” cried Sunset, finger-blasted by a bunch of Celestia';s fingers while Tia used her free hand to traced circles around her hot pink asshole before she shoved it in. She clamped down, clenched her teeth, and creamed all over Tia's hand.

Over the next hours, they altered positions many times, Spike always buried in two of them at once while he tended to the others with his tongue, claws, tail, and wings, whatever it took to make certain they were pleased. His snout wrapped around the tits presented before him, nipped and pulled on them, made his ears twitch at the musical mewls that met his caresses.

Cadance stroked his tail and sunk its spade into her slit. “I need you inside me,” she huskily wheezed. At the moment he was otherwise preoccupied by Celestia and Sunset, the latter stacked atop her mentor, while he made out with and fondled Luna.

Lost in a sea of soft, warm flesh, the aromas of musk and perfume, he pumped them full. Afterward he collapsed, surrounded by their sweaty bodies, stomachs fully rounded and sloshing with his virile seed, their messy, stringy hair matted around them.

His claws and tail continued to knead their thighs, breasts, and buttocks while they cooed and cuddled with him and each other. He wished they would all return home with him, but knew Cadance had a land and husband she must return to, and that Celestia and Luna had their own duties to look after, as someone had to watch the world from the shadows.

“Thank you Spike,” said Sunset who planted a peck on his cheek and rubbed his chest.

“The pleasure's mine,” he admitted with a grin and rubbed her stretched out stomach, which he had no doubt would soon swell with their own spawn for real. He couldn't wait to take her home and introduce her to the rest of the girls.

His eyes fell on the Fire Ruby perched on a stand nearby. It radiated with the passion between them. Whatever anger he'd felt towards the air pirates who'd stolen it had long cooled, helped by the fact that Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo had come with him. Caelano was scheduled to be released from prison soon do to good behavior, however it would take quite a while longer in Lightning Dust's case, both because she had directly endangered and threatened others, plus remained uncooperative.

I'll see if the former residents of Gunsmoke want to pay it a visit after I'm back. They'll probably like that.

Why not stop by Salem on the way? Sure, I don't like the town much, but it would be nice to see the coven, too. Who knows? Maybe I can convince Twilight or Trixie to join us, now that things have finally settled down?

“Welcome home, Spike.” Rarity was the first to embrace him, the Fire Ruby warm between them. She stood naked in the Badlands with a number of his lovers. “Oh, and I see you've brought company. My name is Rarity.”

“Sunset Shimmer. He's told me a lot about you,” she answered with a smile as they embraced, too, aware that as his lovers they were like a sisterhood now, and must endeavor to create harmony between them, whatever their differences. Thankfully the contest between Rarity and Ember had broken down barriers and helped the newcomers better settle in.

“Good things I trust?” Sunset answered Rarity with a nod. The reddish sky reflected off their bare skin, and Rarity took the lead back into an expansive cave Cherry Jubilee had turned into Spike's personal treasure trove, where Rarity placed the Fire Ruby back where it belonged to overlooked a vast sea of collected riches that glittered below its brilliant scarlet sheen.

Ember strolled up to meet him. “Father's wanted to step down from his position as Dragon Lord for some time, but he couldn't find a worthy heir. I could take the role, but dragons value strength and treasures far more than wit, I'm afraid. And well, you've accumulated quite a 'horde' here.” She waved her tail at his harem of lovers. “What I mean to say is, I think you're ready.”

Spike swallowed hard. “Are you sure? I'm still so young and its a lot of responsibility-”

“You'll be fine,” replied Smolder who pressed a claw over his mouth. “We'll be there to back you up!”

“That's true.” He could depend on them all. His lovers were strong, smart, brave, and beautiful, each in their own unique ways. Jewels he'd discovered across the world. He was thankful any tensions between them appeared to be resolved. He couldn't bear the idea that they disliked each other, that he might have to take sides and choose between them.

“We'll meet with Torch tomorrow. Just rest for now,” said Ember.

Nodding, his tail drew Rarity to him, and she happily squealed as his palm traced a smooth buttock. She'd always be special to him, the first who'd looked on him as something more than a monster, or just a runt of a dragon. She'd quickly seen the beauty in him, and realized there was far more to her than what her primitive village had conditioned her to believe.

Carrying her away to a private portion of the cave, he made love to her, less out of lust but more because he simply missed her company. He wanted to communicate his love to her, but had never been skilled with words and so chose intimacy instead. She flushed and traced his muscular chest as he slowly moved in-and-out of her, their eyes locked while he strained.

“S-Sweetie,” huffed Rarity who rested below him, her limbs wrapped around the drake as she turned her head to one side. “Don't hide. Join us.” Her little sister, who peeked around a corner, wandered over to their side.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt!” Sweetie tittered as his tongue lashed one of her tits which wobbled back into place. He sunk his tail into her, felt her leak down it, and started to thrust in-and-out of the second lover he'd taken.

Spike said, “Looks like I'll become the Dragon Lord soon. That means I'll have a lot more influence. And now that Discord, Celestia, Luna, and Cadance back me, maybe I can rescue your parents?” Torch feared it could result in an all-out war between humans and dragons that would devastate them both, but with his new allies it shouldn't be hard to slip in undetected.

“You would do that for us? Thank you,” murmured Rarity whose eyes filled with tears.

“M-me too,” added Sweetie who more openly wept.

“I'd do anything for my girls,” he swore and stroked their cheeks. Determined to help set the world right wherever he could as the new Dragon Lord, he hoped that Calaeno, Gilda, and perhaps even Lightning Dust might eventually be convinced to join them, too. After all, he would need to continually expand his harem in order to further expand his power and influence.

Plus there were plenty of places he'd yet to explore, and while he would have to partially settle down to keep the peace here and raise his spawn, Ember could stand in as Dragon Lord for a time whenever he decided to venture out and expand his 'horde'.

I wonder what else awaits me? Guess I'll just have to head out and see! Oh, but I'd better not get ahead of myself. Torch still needs to step down, so maybe I'll have a bit more freedom for a little while longer still?

What matters is that I'll have my girls with me. I couldn't have come this far without them.

Curled up with Rarity and Sweetie Belle cuddled up to him, the drake settled into a contented sleep. Luna filled his dreams with visions of a potential future, where he benevolently helped rule the world as Dragon Lord, surrounded by dozens upon dozens of lovers that were heavy with his spawn. 

A smile crossed his snout, satisfied that it would all be okay.
