*Sex inbound, if you dont want it read down to Acropolis section and skip it*

Luna stood in front of a large cell door deep under Canterlot. Golem stood next to her as they observed the new resident of the Asyl. Hannibal stood in the middle of the cell, only a small cot and toilet to keep him company. A white orb embedded in the ceiling shone a cool but bright light through out the cell.

"Hannibal," Luna called out, "As you know Rune shift has bound you to your host, he dies you die. Also she cast a lovely spell freezing you in place"

"Your point?" Hannibal walked around his new home.

"And as you may notice, you can walk around, I have reversed her spell." Luna gestured to the orb in the ceiling, "You can move only as long as moonlight shines on you." She grinned, and her toothy smile made Golem slightly uncomfortable, "And since we are underground, you cannot leave this cell."

"So in other words, only you can let me go?" Hannibal smiled. "Lovely, also while I have your attention. Why do I still take breath? By all rights my head should be on pike out in front of the castle. For my past and present crimes."

"I would love nothing more than to do just that, but you are our only link to this 'master' and his order."

"His order?" His laugh was deep and hearty, "Wow, I didn't think you were this misinformed."

"Its not his order?" Golem asked.

"No, not his. He used it yes, and is a member, of a sorts. But he is far from the leader."

"Who is he?" Luna demanded.

"Hehehe, you already know who master is, hes gah-" Hannibal choked as if something was stuck in his throat. "he's gah-" again he choked, "He's gah-" choking, he waved his hoof. "Hehehe, it seems his magic is still strong enough to prevent me from talking."

"Fine then, tell me about the order!" Luna commanded.

"Nope, I wont say another word until I see Acropolis."

"Why?" Her question was met with Hannibal's silent grin. They stared at each other for a few moments. "Fine, good bye Hannibal."

Dried ink, old paper, bound leather, and undisturbed dust. These smells greeted Acropolis as he awoke in his bed. His back and wings ached as he regained consciousness, reminding him of his encounter with Hannibal. He opened his eyes and his vision was met with a orange-pink tangle. Through the mess he could see Runes face as she slept peacefully by his side. He slowly and painfully sat up in his bed. It was mid day and the sun shone brightly through their window making his vision blurry. The sun was almost foreign to him nowadays. He sat quietly on the edge of their bed contemplating last nights capture. It was over, Hannibal was captured. He felt relieved but hardly relaxed. Hannibal was captured but his master still walked free, the pony who assaulted Glint walked free, and Gumshoe and Coco are sure there is a secret order behind all of this. He smiled, a content smile, he was happy. Rune began to stir.

"Hmm," She opened her eyes slightly, "You okay?" her tone was soft and lovely.  

"Yeah, just restless I guess." His voice was raspy. She sat you and draped herself over him, taking care not to touch his wings. Burrowing her face gently into his neck.

"Restless? Hmm?" Her words blew air across his neck. He was suddenly aware of her heart beat against his back. And the heat of her breath on his neck. She slowly placed a small kiss on his neck.

"Hmm." He had forgotten how much he enjoyed her touch.

"You caught Hannibal."

"WE caught Hannibal." She chuckled and moved around to his front.

"Then WE, deserve a little treat!" Her hooves made their way to his waist where he was beginning to grow. "It seems we have a vote for treat." Acro didn't have time reply before she took him in her mouth. He fluttered his wings, despite the pain and kicked out slightly as she took him deeper in her mouth. As she maxed out her throat she moaned with him in her mouth.

"Ahhh, Buck!" He wiggled as she moaned again and again as she moved up and down slowly. He was now at full mast and was pushing his was down her throat even farther. Beginning to choke on him she pulled back pulling him her mouth with a wet pop. Gasping she climbed up on him, letting his member slide against her slit and hole. She could feel his head pulsing against her asshole, which puckered in anticipation. She grinded against him, making herself wetter and wetter with each pass. They had been so caught up in Hannibal and other events they had had no time for each other, and were both very pent up. He reached up and kissed her as he pulled her closer to him. Squeezing their bodies together as close as they could get. He moved to enter her backside but she clenched, blocking him.

"That's hardly a treat." Rune pulled back and lined her treasure up with his shaft. Sliding forward his tip pushed aside the lips of her slit. She shivered and twitched as he slowly lid into her. Her horn flickered and pulsed as he hit her back wall. The hot sensation of him being so deep inside her was almost to much for her.

"Rune~" Acropolis' voice was wispy as his shaft fought against her tightness. She tightened like a vice as he began to pull back out. She gasped as he slid back out. "You okay?" She shuttered and held him tight.

"Fantastic." Her tone was unlike he had heard before, it begged him for more.

"Fantastic." He replied placing his tip against her lips again. In one thrust he slammed into her, her limbs went straight like boards, her horn shot sparks, and her vision went white for a moment. He held himself deep in her forcefully.

"OHH~ BUCK!" She shouted. Her tongue breaching her lips. He pulled back and thrusted again and again and again. Each thrust erased her mind and drove him to the brink. They got faster, and harder, until Acro fell back onto his back Lifting her up and on top of him. Rune placed both hooves on either side of his head and kissed him furiously as he pounded away at her. They slammed into each other again and again. His shaft spreading her wide and hitting her in all the right spots. She clammed on him like a vice as he moved and was hot and dripping. They lost themselves in their love making, their ecstasy overwhelmed them. All there was in the world was the pony before them, and the building pressure. Acro started going faster and gritting his teeth. Silent signals he was close. His increase in speed pushed Rune closer to her brink.

"Rune~"

"Acro~" In one strong thrust upward, he pushed himself deep into her lifting her from the bed as he did. This thrust was her final straw, she clammed down on his shaft, locking him in her as she came. Her horn went off like a sparkler as Acro gritted his teeth and unloaded into her. She could feel his hot cum filling her up. She gasped as he pumped into her. He seemed to cum forever, it began leaking out down his shaft and dripping onto the bed. "Acro~" She fell down onto him and kissed him ferociously. Her face was red and her breath was visible. Sweat beaded on their bodies. Acro panted as he held his mare close to him, their juices leaking out on to the bed. After a moment Rune sat up startling him, rocking back and forth with a grin on her blushing face. With each motion more cum leaked out of her. "I think you'll like this." She whispered and began to stand up. His cum covered cock slid slowly out of her as she stood up, coming clear with a loud and wet pop. She stood above him for a moment before more of his cum came dripping out of her and onto his shaft. The sight made him hard again.  "And now you get a special treat." She moved down and took his cock in her mouth once more. She sucked up all of his cum, licking in from his shaft, his stomach and balls. and sucking what remained out of his balls. He was helpless, all he could do was moan as she drained him dry. Her task done she released his cock.

"R-r-rune." He mumbled out. She gave him a salty kiss and laid down next to him. He could see her groin wet with their fluids. All he could smell was dried ink and sex. "I love you."

"I love you too." They kissed gain and soon the messy pair were asleep. To day the slept peacefully for tomorrow it was back to work.

Brigade sharpened his spear in the empty barracks. Mid-day there weren't many ponies around the barracks. He looked up to the clock on the wall. He had to report to the labs for Glints detail as she went out into the city. However he was concerned as Glint had requested they meet in private beforehand. And so he waited in the barracks for Glint to arrive. The door creaked open and a soft blue mare with a red mane entered.

"Brigade!" the mare lit up.

"What did I ask of you Glint?" He replied harshly. She seemed rejected as she transformed back into her changeling form.

"Sorry." Glint looked away bashfully. Brigade shot her a quick smile before turning away quickly and collecting his spear.

"Anyway, what did you want to speak to me about?"

"Well, its hard to explain." Glint looked nervously around the room.

"Out with it."

"Well, mymotherisinheatandneedstofindamateinordertoproduceabroodsoshecanlayhereggsandrebuildherhice!" Glint rambled out. Brigade simply raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"My mother needs to find a mate and breed or else she will fall barren." Glint couldn't bring herself to look at Brigade.

"Well," He gave a deep sigh, "I guess that cant be helped." She was surprised at his calmness. "After all one of the reasons Luna allowed Chrysalis to stay was so she could breed. So who has she picked.

Ah, there it is. "Well, that's the thing."

"Wait, Im taking you both hunting aren't I?" Glint simply nodded at his question. The thought of taking changelings out hunting and feeding off of random ponies emotions made him very uneasy. But under his watch he knew they wouldn't take anything too far. For some reason he felt like Glint was his responsibility her safety was his primary concern. He gave a mighty sigh as she looked sheepishly at the floor. "Has Princess-" she cut him off.

"Yes, Luna has approved the uhh, hunt?" Glints choice of words made him twitch.

"Very well." He resigned himself and followed Glint from the empty barracks.

Grand Agora tapped his hoof as he observed a relic deep in his private warehouse. Each artifact was held in a magical stasis shield to prevent any adverse exposure. He stood before a silver chalice with moonstone set along the rim. The faint sounds of ponies screaming echoed softly as he observed it. A sliver liquid milled about by itself in the chalice.

"So close and yet so far." Agora spoke as he reengaged the magical force field.  

Hannibal played his part, and lasted longer than I thought he would.

"But the chalice is only half full, if we kill anymore the guard will start looking for the actual killer."

His violent displays made for a good distraction. But with him captured their focus will be on finding me.

"So what should we do?" Agora moved to leave the warehouse, heading down the long hallway towards the exit.

We lay low, again. Play it slow and cautiously. We still need into the Lunar Armory. We should shift our efforts to that. The chalice can wait.

"Sir?" White Glove stood at the warehouse entrance.

"What is it Glove?"

"Your nephew is here to see you as requested, sir."

"Fantastic."

Flash Sentry stood in Agora's study observing the relics he had on display there. He had little interest in the past, but that was not the reason for this visit.

"Flash!" Agora greeted as he entered.

"Uncle!" Flash and Agroa embraced for a moment.

"Ah, look at you! You look more and more like your father everyday!" Agora smiled.

"Ill never be a big as him Uncle."

"One day my boy, one day." Agora motioned towards his drink cabinet, "Would you care for a drink?"

"Sorry, I have to go on duty after this."

"Ah, thats my boy. Prim and proper. A true Canterlot gentlecolt!"

"Uncle, if I may. Why did you ask to see me?" Agora gave a deep sigh, and hid his devious smile.

"You are familiar with the Lunar guard and its Captain Acoplois?"

"I am, very familiar with Acropolis." Flash's tone betrayed himself.

"Well, I have been assisting Princess Luna in collecting artifacts from the forgotten era before Nightmare Moon." Flash listened carefully as his Uncle spoke, "And some of these artifacts are rather dangerous."

"I haven't heard of this before." Flash was visibly annoyed. Agora gave another deep sigh to hide his evil grin.

"Not surprised, Luna is a Princess of secrets after all. But my point, my boy, is that I cannot speak to their current inventory, or of whatever artifacts they do have's ability."

"Ability?"

"Oh you know." Now, spring your trap "Artifacts like Hannibal's helm." Flash stood completely still. His blood ran cold thinking that the Lunar guard had more artifacts that were just as dangerous as Hannibal.

"Why are you telling me this? Why not bring up these concerns to Luna or Celestia yourself?" Flash stammered.  

"Luan would dismiss me, and Celestia has faith in her dear sister. My hooves are tied." You are good at this Agora] "But yours, my boy, are not."

"What do you mean Uncle?"

"You could get into the Lunar Armory, and bring me along to audit the dangers of whatever they have." Flash thought on it.

"And if you find nothing." Flash showed the level headed-ness that he was becoming known for.

"Then no harm. But wouldn't you rather know if there is a magical super weapon in your basement just waiting to go off?" Agora's words hit Flash and he could see it on Flash's face.  

"Okay, Uncle. I appreciate you informing me of this. And I will do what I can to get the Lunar Armory audited." Flash stood tall and commited himself to his uncles claim.

"That's my boy." Agora smiled wide, "We must do whatever it takes to protect Equestria." From those who wish to protect it
