"From there we set the plan in motion. He magically sealed himself into the Amulet and I brought him aboard."

"How could you?" Hestaria asked. "You fucking traitor!"

Nexus kept his head, the way he'd always had. "I don't expect forgiveness. And now Sombra's right. Even if we win, I'll be dead before I can celebrate in Canterlot."

"Why should we even listen to him now?" Thunder asked.

"He's right." Silver said. "Just because your eyes are a new color that doesn't mean he's changed."

"I can feel his aura. It's uncontrollable by will. It's lighter but still heavy." Ephialtes said.

"In English." Knight said.

"He's not evil anymore but there's still a lot bothering him."

"Just bothering him?"

"Just bothering."

"He's not wrong." Nexus said. "Okay, I'm going to get Captain Firebrand down here so we can formulate a plan."

"What about that red bitch?" Ephialtes asked.

"That, is Lolk. Highest ranking changeling there is. That bitch doesn't have a gender. They swap between genders for fun. And Lolk likes to experiment."

"Experiment with what?"

"Take a guess."

Ephilates shuttered. "Dude that thing was flirting with me."

"Don't… Don't dude me today Ephi. Now, if you'll make my eyes red again."

"Why?" Thunder asked.

"Because I can't get Firebrand if I give away that I'm normal again. Just take the hold after I leave and I'll get Firebrand down here."

"Do you have a plan outside of that?"

"I'll tell you when I think about it. Ephi, do it."

It was getting FUN playing with the Commander Firebrand. He always squirmed around while "Lord" Sombra disguised as him would just watch with disapproval. She'd paralyzed him once, and made him think the room was closing in on him the other. Lolk loved it especially when he decided to be a stallion when he flirted with Firebrand. It made him more uncomfortable and it made Lolk love it even more. Sombra ordered him to the hold. Just to make him a little more comfortable, Lolk made himself into a mare.

"Come now Brandy, it isn't that bad." Lolk told him.

"I'm stuck on a ship with three lunatics that are plotting to take over Equestria and I'm being tortured by a perverted changeling that has a gender problem. How is this not bad?"

"You get to play with me."

"That's part of the problem."

"Don't flatter yourself. I may be perverted, but this is just a bit of fun. And trust me, I'm not planning on working for Sombra much longer."

"Why?"

"Well, Sombra only wants to kill Celestia. My goals are far more… Broad."

"You do see the irony in that right?"

"I'm sorry?"

"Back in the old days, my parents days, the term for a slut was a broad."

"Then I'm a happy broad when I am one. Anyways, this world is run by immortals. Sombra just wants to get rid of the one in charge and replace them. That won't work. He's not the only one that can see into the future ya know. It is very blurry because it can still be changed, but let's just say that he'll be on top of the world holding Luna back by force until the new Element of Honor takes him down."

"New Element of what?"

"Don't mind that. Anyways, my goal is to not just kill Celestia, but all immortals. they are what ruins Equestria. They don't know how the world needs to work. So I want to kill them all. All of them are only looking out for their own throne. My goal is to kill all immortals and give Equestria to her people."

"You're insane! We're on the brink of war with Maredonia as it is! Normal ponies don't know what they need or how to work politics."

"Nothing you need to be concerned about baby."

"Don't call me that."

"I'm sorry baby. You'll feel better in a bit."

"I'm sorry?"

"I think I've found the aphrodisiac."

"Oh my Lord…"

"Oh she can't help you now."

Lolk lead him down bellow and "Umbra" was on his way up. He looked to her and Firebrand. "Where are you taking them?" he asked.

"Sombra told me to take him to the hold with the safe."

"If you have any decency left in you, you'll take me." Firebrand pleaded.

"Ooooooo, I didn't know you swung that way."

"Help."

"Actually Lolk," He paused for a quick moment. "I was hoping to talk to you about that."

"Oh… You do?" Lolk said happy to hear something interesting for once. All of this plotting gets boring now and again.

"Yeah, I do. Seeing as my fiancé won't want me back ever, I've been thinking of… Experimenting a little."

"Experimenting you say?"

"What did Sombra do to you man?" Firebrand asked.

"Pish Posh, Don't ask questions. If he wants to experiment, I say we let him. How were you planning on doing this then?" 'I might have to keep him around a bit longer if he's willing to go farther.' Lolk thought to herself.

"Well, rectal anything upon me is out. I may be open to experimentation but not that."

"No promises." Lolk told him.

"I was thinking more… menage a trois?"

"Oh? How'd you know I love a pony that speaks Griffon."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa… what's a manage e… what he said?"

"Threesome." Lolk said gaily.

"Lunar… Please don't be like that."

"Oh quite you. You won't be in the middle. Unless you're up to experiment too."

"I'll take all of this as a yes?" Umbra asked.

"Of coerce. I'm always happy to help somepony experiment with their sexuality. Lead the way."

This was oddly exiting. Lolk had been watching Umbra as Nexus for some time now. She might have been a peeping tom, or sneaky sally, but she was nice enough to not look into the bathroom. Mostly because there were no windows on the bathroom. She'd seen him do it with his fiancé before, but she'd never really seen much at the distance she was watching and through the balcony. She was curious if he was organic where it counted or if some assembly was required. She hadn't heard about him until he escaped from a small hive in Equestria with the help of Princess Luna. He knew that the-wait, she. She knew that they cut off all of his legs, so she wasn't sure if they'd cut anything else off.

Umbra turned around and lead them to the hold two decks down where the safe was kept. Changelings ran to the stern quickly to the deck above but Lolk was a little distracted with the promise of a little fun for once. She'd been dry for some time now and the mindless changeling's she was around on daily basis weren't very, trilling in bed. She missed being allowed out of the hive to feed once in a while. And with Chrysie gone, she had no way to have a massive amount her fun was taken out of her life. Now it seemed, Umbra was willing to help fill the hole he left, in more ways than one.

Umbra was polite enough to open the door for them. Lolk tossed Firebrand in and Umbra locked the door behind them as they walked in.

"Now, for a little enhancement." Lolk said as one of her five tails curled around her body and danced in front of Firebrand.

Brandy squirmed and grunted against his restraints as the tip pierced his right foreleg. He yelped in pain as the venom surged into his veins.

"While that takes some effect, I'm going to have a little fun with our dark friend over there." Lolk said giving Firebrand a deep, forced kiss. Lolk turned and started to saunter over to Umbra with her hips swinging. "Seeing as you probably don't want to see your little Dusty, I think I can give you a tantalizing fantasy."

Lolk's body was engulfed in red fire and came out looking exactly like Princess Luna in dark red stockings. "You might not think you want it, but I can tell you've thought about it sweetie." She said with an exact copy of Luna's voice.

"I did say I wanted to experiment." Umbra said starting to make his way towards her.

"Good to hear you're not having second thoughts. Now, let's get started." Lolk puckered her lips and prepared for a few hours of fun.

"Let's."

The sound of unsheathing metal caused Lolk's eyes to shoot open as Umbra landed a perfect roundhouse to her jaw. Before anything else could happen, Lolk cast an illusion spell around them to try and trick Lunarus Umbra. Lolk, still looking like Princess Luna, slammed into the nearest wall and Umbra pinned her down with his foreleg.

"Lunarus, please don't." Lolk said hoping Umbra would be fooled by the the spell around them.

Umbra's gaze seemed to soften against Lolk but quickly hardened again. It almost worked. "Not going to happen Lolk."

"Damn it. I thought you were on our side. You could have had the whole world, Umbra."

"I protect the world." Umbra blinked and his blood red serpent eyes turned dark blue and regular. "And it's Nexus.." That was the last thing Lolk heard and saw, Nexus shoved the tip of his blade into her eyes and she shouted in pain as the illusion she had over herself faded, turning her back into her normal female form.

Firebrand was relieved for a moment. Slightly horny the next, but still relieved. Lolk was dead but he was still in the room with Nexus, now calling himself such but he still wasn't sure if he should trust this.

"You alright there Commander?" Nexus asked sheathing his blades and tossing Lolk's body aside.

Firebrand was relieved again to see Nexus' eyes back to their normal color and shape. His coat was still midnight blue, but that was still a relive. "I'm alright. It's good to see you Nexus." He was more relieved when Nexus unlocked his magical cuffs and unrestricted his magic. "That thing was making me nervous."

"Really?" Nexus said tilting his head slightly. "You look more exited then nervous there Brandy."

Firebrand looked down and did a quick bit of tucking. "How long you think that'll last?"

"About two hours."

"Great. You have a plan to get out of here?"

*Knock, KnockKnockKnock, Knock*

"I've got a plan, but I don't think you're going to like it."
