Luna watched as troops loaded into the elevator in the gardens. Heading down to complete securing the reclaimed sub terrain prison. A mixture of Lunar and Celestial guard working together to secure one of Equestrias lost and dark secrets. The idea made her smile as Acropolis joined her on the balcony. Finally on his hooves from several days of bed rest.

“I see your feeling better.” She smiled at him.

“Yeah, not quite up to the armor yet, but ill get there.” He sighs even out of his armor he could still hear the static in the back of his mind. Regardless he still really did enjoy wearing the armor. The constant presence of Lunar Strike’s spirit and the sense of all his men in uniform was comforting. He felt as if he was standing truly alone on the balcony. The usually cacophony of feelings and reports in the back of his mind strangely silent.

“That’s good, The reclamation is going well.” She motions to the soldiers, “After Pastor died, their organization fell apart. Many killed themselves others charged our men, falling to them. But some returned to normal as the moon stone’s was contained Those are currently in Canterlot medical.”

“I see, that’s good, construction should be able to start soon as well.” Acropolis commented wearily.

“Have you been sleeping?”

“Not very well,” He yawns, “Cant seem to sleep well without-” he stops.

“Without?" Luna's intrest was genuine, not many could survive direct contact with a moon stone.

“My own bed,” He recovers quickly, still unsure how to handle the whole sharing a bed with Rune thing, “The hospital beds are so stiff.”  Thank goodness im not in my armor or she would see right through that one.

“Agreed, on another note, Your friend Brigade has become a frequenter of my laboratories. Apparently he has been drafted by Doc, as some sort of emotion supply for your changeling rescue.” Luna changes the subject.

“Yes, as I expected he would,” pausing for a slow inhale, “Brigade may appear stoic but he feels deeply for anything placed in his charge, his duty, his friends, everything." The static pulsed. "On top of being trustworthy I figured he would be able to get through to Glint easier than me or Rune. Since our emotions are clogged up with others while we are armored.”

“Astute observations. Your beginning to sound like Gumshoe.” Luna chuckled.

“Yeah, I guess. Having him running things while we going assignments make more sense than one of us doing it, that and somepony has to be over-analytical.” He chuckled as Brigade enters onto the balcony.

“Princess, Sir.” Brigade salutes, “I have my report about Glint.” Brigade produces a envelope.

“Okay, give me the short version.” Acropolis takes the envelope and stows it.

“Sir, Changeling nymph Glint, responding well to captivity, daily visits from me seem to be her only active times, Doc surmises that she is more active due to the active emotions in the chamber. Also her diet is regular and she seems to be in high spirits, but she has yet to divulge why she was in Canterlot or shift her form at all.” Brigade rattles off the bullet points of his report.

“Anything else I should be aware of?” Acropolis questions, sensing that there is more.

“She seems to have regained her locomotion, and the color of her shell is returning as well. Also she has gained some weight and is back up to a, assumed, healthy standard. She dosent seem to want to talk around Doc. Oh, and the scarring on her flank has almost healed completely.” Brigade finishes his report.

“Those were the worst of her physical wounds,” but I have the feeling that observation had more to do with her flank than the wounds, “Thank you , Brigade.” Acropolis finishes.

“Sir, Princess!” He salutes again and leaves.

“That was a bit awkward.” Luna comments after Brigade is out of hearing range.

“Well, he is mad at me, I tricked him into caring for the changeling, and divulged my plan for her.” Acropolis admits.

“Plan?” Luna's thoughts turned to Celestias comments on keeping her eyes on her captain and lieutenant.

“Yes, imagine a Lunar guard that could infiltrate any establishment? Simply shift into any form and walk right into secure areas, gang hideouts, drug dens, illegal distilleries. Slip in unnoticed, complete their mission, and vanish, right under their noses.” Acropolis gestures heavily accenting his point.

“You wish to recruit her?” Her tone was perplexed, she hadn’t thought of that. She had assumed he would simply release her once Doc got what he wanted. But to recruit a changeling? It was un-heard of. “You truly are making this a guard to remember if your recruitment standards keep up like this.”

“Princess, I am simply collecting ponies that do their jobs, and love it. Or have a skill set that makes us as a whole stronger.” Acropolis looks down at the soldiers near the elevator, a slight twinge runs through his head. “And we will get stronger, until nothing can stand before the Lunar guard.” The static stopped.

Rune shift relished in assignment to do some research. Todays research project was into other forms of magic. Some legends even tell of pegasai and earth ponies casting spells. However she didn’t seem to be able to find out how they did it, only that they did it. Although the Lunar library was ancient and contained knowledge hidden from the public, she lacked a few tomes that she believed would shine light on her intended project. And she could only think of one other mare that would have a copy of these rare and somewhat illegal books. Princess Sparkle.

Acropolis is training in the lunar gardens. Trying to regain what muscle he lost while laid up and attempting to perfect his wing based fighting style. Parrying the spinning fighting dummy with his wings and using his forelegs to block as well. In his training trance he didn’t notice Shining Armor enter the garden.

“Impressive.” Shining broke the silence. Acropolis stopping the dummy dead with his hoof. “Very impressive, I figured that dexterity came from the armor but it would seem that your style was in development long before then.”

“Captain, what brings you here?”

“Brigade,” Shining moves over to a empty armor stand and begins to unbuckle his armor, “Since he seems to be under your command now, I was wondering why you just don’t recruit him?” Shining was now completely out of his armor.

“He likes his station I guess.” Acropolis was unsure how to answer, his friend always helped the guard, both of them.

“I see, do you want him?” Shinings question was loaded and hung heavy.

“That’s his choice.” Acropolis followed Shining as he walked into the sparing area.

“Hmm, You know ive been thinking,” Shining cracks his neck, “you and I haven’t really spared yet. If your up to it, id like to challenge you.”

“I just got out of the hospital, id rather not-”

“Oh no not a duel, no magic, no armor, no wings, first to three hits wins?" Shining smiles at him.

“First to three wins? What do we win?”

“Bragging rights? Honor? Whatever.” Shining muses at him. Acropolis was beginning to find he surfer dude tone annoying at this point, almost mocking even.

“Okay im game.” Acropolis readied for combat pulling his wings back against his body.

“Good, now lets begin.” Shining took a step forward and launched him self into the air. Rolling out of the way, Acro barley dodged the falling elbow. Without missing a beat Shining shifts his weight onto the foreleg he landed on, and spinning on it, he knees Acro in the shoulder while rotating upside down. “One for me.” He dismounts his hoof and lands with a spin, kicking up dust.

“What in the? What was that!” Acropolis is amazed by his speed and agility. Or such a large stallion there is no way he could move that fast.

“If you win ill tell you.” Shining dashes at Acro. At the last second he drops to ground in a slide, catching Acro off guard. Attempting to side step the attack only puts him exactly where Shining wants him. Pushing a foreleg into the ground shining pops up into the air. Once again upside down Shining double kicks down at Acro. To his amazement he instinctively blocks the kicks with his arms. “Good.” Dismounting his hoof again Shining rotates in midair and brings his knee down on top of Acropolis. Taking the grunt with his arms Acropolis rolls out of the way. “Lets mix it up.” Shining rushes Acropolis with standard punches, both stallions on their hind legs and upright. Acropolis can barely block Shining punches they are coming in so fast. Acropolis sees his opening and punches. Shining dodges without moving his feet. Acro punches again, Shining seems to vanish as his punch hits nothing but air. Releasing a flurry of punches Acropolis leans in striking nothing. Shining isn’t even blocking the punches, just dodging using only his upper body. Frustrated Acro goes for a hammer strike. This one Shining blocks, and counters with a head but. Knocking Acro to the ground. “Two, me.” Shining says rubbing his forehead.

“You son of a-” Acro got back up and continues his assault. Instinctively going for a similar attack to what he used on Brigade. Quickly realizing that he relied on his wings completely during that fight. Instead he resins and resorts to punches, which Shining blocks with ease. Acropolis goes for a roundhouse kick. Shining catches it expertly, and casts Acro a smile, only for Acro to come up with his other leg and kick him across the face. Slamming them both onto the ground. “One me.”

“Good one.” They return to their hooves. Shining goes on the offensive and forces Acro to block his incredibly fast attacks. He has Acro on the ropes, he cant do anything. If he drops his guard to attack Shining will get him. He cant attack from here, shining will just dodge it. He sees another opportunity. Thrusting both hooves forward past shinings head, catching him off guard. Gripping the back of his head he pulls shining head towards his head butting him as hard as he can.

“Point me.” Acro says slyly.

“Nope.” Shining breaks Acros’ grip instantly unfazed from the head but and returns in kind. Shinings head but lands with so much force the world goes fuzzy for a moment before Acro falls to the ground in a daze. The ringing in his ears was so loud it only compacted his headache. Shining helped Acropolis back onto his feet with a smile. “I guess I won.”

“I guess you did.” Shaking his head trying to get the ringing to stop. “I guess ill never find out how you learned to fight like that.”

“Golden Cider.” Shining says bluntly as he puts his armor back on.

“What?”

“Golden Cider taught me, it’s a martial art developed by earth ponies so they could fight unicorns and peagsai.” Shinings tone went back to his captain voice, “Its all about momentum and using the entirety of your body as a weapon. Unfortunately Golden has since passed on. But I would assume her son or even her daughter might be willing to teach you.”

“Who are they?” His interest peaked.

“I believe you know them already? Applejack and Big Macintosh.” Shivers went down Acro’s spine as Shining spoke. The thought of Big Mac moving like that or being kicked like that from AJ frightened him. But he thought back to all the fights she had been in. She didn’t use the style Shining just displayed. Just normal bucking and rodeo tricks.

“Hard to believe, ive seen them both in fights. They were nothing special.” his feeble attempt to dismiss the scary thoughts from his mind.

“For their lives?” Shining's point was made, they rarely were in extreme danger.

“No, just a timber wolf skirmish on their farm.” He thought hard back to that day he helped protect the farm. AJ had done an elbow drop and a sweep kick. Maybe Shining was telling the truth, maybe AJ and Big Mac really were trained in this style. “What is the style called?”

“Erde Fausten, my ancient equestrian is rusty but it roughly translates to-”

“Earth Punch.” Acro cuts him off.

“Anything of note happen tonight? Shining really dislikes it when we omit things from our joint reports.” Acropolis yawns, putting his desk back in order. In the barracks many ponies are returning from their shifts, taking off their armor, or trying to sleep.

“A brawl, attempted burglary, noise complaint.” Gumshoe read off a list of the nights incidents.

“Noise complaint? Ponies hearing screams from the sewers again?” Acropolis jested darkly.

“Hardly, a new club opened up in south side and apparently the soundproofing of the building wasn’t up to par with,” He searched through papers, “What witnesses called a ‘Bass Cannon’, who comes up with this stuff?”

“Let me guess, White, Unicorn, mare, Rune’s height, blue stripped mane?” Gumshoe simply nodded at Acropolis' question. “Good to see Vinyl’s moving up in the world.” Rune approached the table with a long yawn.

“Paper work done?” She asked.

“Just finished.” Gumshoe slid the nights reports into an envelope with ‘Shining’ written on the side.

“Good, im off to bed.” She said groggily, quickly casting a glance over to Acro. Who was trying his best not to acknowledge the look.

“’Night Rune.” Once she was safely out of ear shot, “Dude, are you sleeping with her or what?” Gumshoe’s question was blunt, like him.

“Well, technically, yes,” Gumshoe gasped, “But its nothing sexual. Really we are literally just sleeping together.”

“Really? That’s all, just sleep going on up there?” Gumshoe began to go into investigation mode.

“I swear if I wake up and find you in her room-”

“Oh, sweet Luna, you sleep in her room,” Gumshoe could read ponies like nopony else, “My friend, I worry about you sometimes. You and your inability to see the things right in front of you.”

“Oh, like what?” Gumshoe bonks him on the head. “Oww what?”

“Wow, you are dense, your sleeping with her and there are no emotions there? Really? What are you a machine? You know what, your on your own with this one. Good night.” Gumshoe got up and left the barracks swiftly not giving Acro time to reply.

“I guess, I should check in on Doc before I head off.” Acro looked around his empty office, “Who the buck am I talking to?”

“Acro!” Doc greeted, “Didn’t expect to see you here today!” Lab technicians milled about in the laboratories. Still studying and probing the changeling corpses.

“I just stopped by to see how Glint is doing.” Acro gave his weak excuse for delaying his trip to Runes bed.

“Well, when other ponies are around she is quite lively,” Doc led him to the containment room, “But usually she just floats around and catches bugs.”

“Has she shared any info?”

“Nothing useful to you, ive got tones of research, but very little Intel. I don’t think she likes talking to me.” Doc opened the large doors. Acro could see the nymph floating in the water near her hut. Almost as instantly as Acro entered the room the changeling popped out of the water and came running up to him.

“Acropolis!” She greeted.

“See?.” Doc commented.

“Hello, Glint I just came by to see how you were doing.”

“Well, this place is a bit boring, but I understand why im down here, I just hope ill be able to return to the surface.” She smiled and leaned towards him breathing deeply through her nose.

“That’s good,” Acro was becoming uncomfortable to how close the nymph was, “Whats got you in such a dandy mood?”

“You silly! Your practically bleeding love!” the changeling clicked taking another deep breath.

“L-love?” Acropolis mimicked, he stared at the changeling for a moment. “Good night Glint, Doctor.” Acropolis quickly left the lab leaving the two standing there confused.

“I guess love perks you right up.” Doc asks.

“Well it is the most potent emotion we feed on.” Glint says as she returns to her muck.

Rune lay in her bed quietly trying to fall sleep. He has taken so long she had assumed he either went to his own bed or was still working. She still couldn't reconcile her feelings for him. Surely he could feel them on the link? And she knew that working relationships don't work out usually. But she didn't really care. The more she thought about it the more all she wanted was him next to her. No, truly she wanted more from him. She didn't want his presence, she wanted him. Every inch of him. Now calm down girl, she thought, No point getting all hot and bothered just before bed. She wondered of her first time. Would it hurt? Im sure he would be gentle, of course I wouldn't mind if was a little rough. Oh, Luna what am I thinking?

Take off your pendant. Luna's voice harshly echoed in Runes mind. She quickly ripped off her pendant and placed it on her bed side.

Oh, dear. That was unfortunate. Her mind wandered back to Acropolis, I wonder if he even thinks of me like that? After all he would be my first, really, doing anything like that. The door swung open startling her. "Acropolis?" His pendant landing near the foot of the bed, "Are you okay?"

"Never better." He climbs right on top of her planting a firm kiss right on her lips. She squeaks, surprised by his boldness. They separate and look into each others eyes for a moment. "Sorry about that I just had to get that-"

Rune wraps her arms around him pulling him in to a deeper and much longer kiss. They roll back on the bed. Releasing each other with a gasp.

"-Off my chest"Acro finishes his sentence.  

"Get more off your chest." Rune says in a sultry tone, resigning herself to her passions. Gripping him tighter she pulls him down onto her again. Their mouths intertwined in passions embrace. Acropolis' tongue slyly asking permission to enter her mouth. Opening her jaw to let it in she wraps his tongue in her own. Their tongues rolling about in their mouths only increase the heat of the moment. Acropolis pulls back to get a full breath, a saliva trail from his mouth to hers falls away as he backs up. Her eyes half lidded with her tongue hanging out is a sight that fuels Acropolis's desires. He buries his face into her neck, kissing and licking every inch of her he can. "Ac-Ac-Acro."She stammers out, in a weak attempt to get his attention.

"Yeah?" Removing his head from her neck.

"I've never actually done this before." She says softly.

"Neither have I." Burying his face into her neck once more.

"Could have fooled me." She says rolling her head back as the sensation of his kisses overwhelm her. She now can feel something hot along her inner thigh. Looking down she spies his stallion-hood in full attention. It twitches as if it noticed her staring. Oh wow, she thought,  That's big. The kissing began to move down her chest, his member vanishing below the covers. "A-A-Acro." His kisses now working his way around her hips.

"Huuhn?" Is all she gets as he gets closer and closer to her prize.

"Ac-Ac-Ac~" She once again resigns herself to her passions.

"Uhhuh." He moves ever closer to her now glistening treasure. He pulls back for a second to look at the mare before him. Fore hooves pulled up to her chest, half lidded eyes, tongue barley in her mouth as she pants. Their eyes meet for a moment in their ecstasy, his eyes silently asking permission for the next event.

"Acro~" she rolls her head back into her pillow as Acro's mouth descends on her prize. His lips touch the lips of her passageway and she shutters in pleasure. Her moans and squeaks only adding more fire to the moment. He rolls his tongue around the exterior before thrusting his tongue into her. She grabs the back of his head on reaction pulling him into her. Her scent fills his nostrils, driving him to go deeper and faster with his tongue. "Acro-"She starts to shutter. Feeling her beginning to climax he buries his face into her, greedily rolling his tongue deep inside her. "Ac-a-ACRO!!" She climaxes hard, squirting her juices into his mouth and onto his chin. Her taste is sweeter than he thought it would be. Panting Acro releases from her, his tongue hanging, and begins to climb back onto the bed. Seeing his shaft once more Rune pushes him onto his back, getting on top of him. "Lets be fair."

"O-okay."Taken off guard by her sudden movement. She kisses him passionately, tasting herself on his lips. Strangely this only made her wet again. She can feel his shaft bouncing off her flank, pulsing with his heart beat. Moving her hips slightly so she can rub his shaft along the space between her starfish and tail. He lets out of soft groan as she rubs him. Gyrating so his entire member rubs along her. He can feel her prize and starfish pucker and pulse as she slides past them. "Rune I-"

"Shh," she kisses him, "my turn." With a sultry smile she slides down him, dragging her tongue down his front until she is face to face with his member. Its pulses as if greeting her. She looks up at Acro as she wraps the tip of him with her tongue. He shutters and throws back his head.

"Ohhh~" She hadn't heard him make that noise before. She takes the head in her mouth slowly running her tongue around the edge. Acro makes noises that aren't complete words, his mind going in every direction from her treatment. Slipping more of him into her mouth she quickly finds not all of him will fit. Undeterred she moans with him against the back of her throat. "Ahhh BUCK!"  Acro slams his head into the pillow in ecstasy. Sliding him out of her mouth with a pop she grins up at him.

"It would seem I found a sweet spot." He groans in response. Going back to his member she opens wide and takes him in her mouth once more. She slides up and down alternating her swiftness in a attempt to make it last as long as she can. Moaning as he hit's the back of her throat. Acro grabs her mane and lightly pulls on her hair. Looking up at him she meets his eyes. His stare is one of pure bliss, his mind focused on nothing but her. Smiling with him still in her mouth she speeds up rapidly. Bouncing him off the back of her throat. With every thrust she moans. His hips start reacting trying to trust deeper into her mouth. He suddenly sits bolt upright, grabbing her head with both hooves, and pressing her deeper onto his member. She takes it, her eyes rolling back, his seed beginning to pump into her mouth and directly down her throat. With each powerful twitch more of his seed is shot into her, she relished every hot load he gives her. He relaxes his grip and falls back onto the bed. Freed from him she continues to suck  as he continues to blow in spurts. After the spurts seem to finish she pulls off him with a wet pop. Gasping, she rolls what is left of his seed around in her mouth before looking at him. His eyes meet hers, and she swallows the load. In a final display his member fires one more time right onto her mouth. Panting from it she wipes her face and licks it off her hoof. Unable to take any more Acropolis relaxes completely onto the bed. She is surprised at the taste of him and his seed. She couldn't place it, but she liked it.  

"Rune." He says panting, "I bucking love you."His eyes still lightly glazed over. His mind hasn't yet recovered. She climbs up to him and kisses him ferociously. Their tastes mixing in their mouths. With a sloppy pop they separate once again saliva and other fluids strung between them.

"I love you too."Rune says as she starts slowly kissing around his neck. "I bucking love you too."
