Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"So this is the Griffon Kingdom." Blitz says as he and Daring disembark.

Daring licks her lips. "Yep and many more places to be alone."

"Reign it in daring, we are on our honeymoon." Blitz jokes.

Daring pouts. "Party pooper."

"Ok, ok, Daring, enough jokes for now." Blitz says as they watched the griffon bounties being taken away by the law enforcement.

Daring sighs. "Sorry. Still getting use to it."

"Take your time." Blitz says letting her be close to him.

Daring smiles at him. "Thanks for letting me stay with you. If I had gone on my own, I would probably be under a stallion right now."

"Don't worry about it. So what's next?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks around. "Check in at the immigration office. You need to register yourself so you can officially receive your pay."

"Very well and then what, you want to get a hotel room or do you have a friend?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "Yeah, I'm supposed to meet this griffon in this average cafe near the university. Think you can find me?"

"I will just follow you. I can get my money later. Oh and if asked let's just say I was hired to be your bodyguard." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "That sounds nice. To the immigration office, otherwise you might be labeled as a wanted criminal and you would be the one with a price on his head." She said walking to the nearby buildings.

"Very well." Blitz says following her.

After getting their papers signed and Blitz marked as a bounty hunter and the receptionist nearly having a heart attack meeting him, they headed to the city to find this place. "Okay, classic case, look for high class area." Daring said, heading to where the buildings and streets were better maintained.

"This tourist guide brochure isn't helping too much." Blitz says trying to make heads or tails out of it.

Daring takes the guide and throws it into the nearby trash. "It's actually never been updated since five years ago."

"So before we head back to Equestria, want to go see Prance?" Blitz asks.

Daring shakes her head. "Nope, got caught there once. Apparently a high game robbery happened and I became suspect number one." She says until she realizes he asked her to the city of love.

"They probably don't remember now." Blitz says.

Daring turns to him. "They took my pictures and hoof prints." She said, showing her hoof.

"So you got a criminal record." Blitz says getting close.

Daring shakes her head. "No, they took it so they know who I am, but I don't want to make too much trouble again, so I'm heading there again." She then rounds the corner and stops. "We're here."

"Huh?" Blitz asks looking around the corner as well.

Looking around they can see a cafe with many griffons and some ponies sitting around and chatting. "Let's see." Daring said taking out a photo and going into the cafe. "Where are you?"

"Daring I presume?" A voice behind them asks.

They both look behind them and sees a griffon sipping away at her drinking straw. "Celia." Daring greets.

"That's me, my uncle told me you were coming, but who's your friend?" Celia asks taking a sip.

Daring moves away slightly. "Oh, this is Cross, Southern Cross. He's my bodyguard."

Celia hearing this, eyes go wide and does a spit take. "Cross, the Southern Cross?!" She calls out.

"Please don't yell." Blitz requests politely.

Celia nods. "Um…sure, sorry sir."

"Thank you." Blitz says pulling out the seat for Daring.

Daring smiles as she sits down. "Thank you. So what do you got?" She asks Celia.

"Well, I got the professor of my university to agree to meet you, but be warned he's a hard beak." Celia warns.

Daring smirks. "Don't worry, I can take it."

Blitz says nothing as he just stands guard, scanning the area for bounties and was disappointed he didn't see any.

Celia sighs. "Alright, come on." She said getting out of her seat and leading them out. "So how was your trip?" She asks after a while.

"Eventful." Daring says as she and Blitz followed.

Celia looks to them. "Not going to tell?"

"Mostly this guy moonlighting on the cruise." Daring says.

Celia giggles. "Oh, I would love to see that."

"Here is your chance to see the result." Blitz says as a large prison wagon passes with several griffons in chains.

Celia watches as they were led off. "Oh my feathers, what did you do?" Celia asks looking at them.

"Collected bounties alive." Blitz says like it was a natural thing.

Daring leans close to Celia. "To be honest, they did something you should never do to a female."

"Yeah, they didn't tip the waitress." Blitz says serious, but Daring knew he was joking so she would have to say what they did to her.

Daring sighs. "I'll tell you later in private." She said to her as they approached the university. "Are you still going down the doctor line?"

"Yes, I'm studying for my first medical exam." Celia says with pride.

"Good, you have a respectable job, unlike me." Blitz says.

Daring pats his back. "You have a good job, you're keeping others safe."

"Doctors save lives. They are those who I respect most." Blitz says, no hint of sadness in his voice.

Daring looks sadly to him before they enter the university and sees griffons and ponies staying where they can to study. "You going for the chemical line of doctors, right?" Daring asks.

"Actually, surgeon." Celia says.

Daring nods. "I see, well here's hoping you don't faint like last time." She jokes.

"Hey, that was seven years ago. I have overcome that fear." Celia says puffing her feathers up.

Daring smooths out her feather which makes Celia moan a little. "Yeah, yeah, I know. Now, I got another question, you got any friends on the toxin and chemical side?"

"Well there's Lunzer. He studies chemicals almost religiously." Celia says with a small blush that didn't escape Daring's notice.

Daring grins. "Oh ho, what is this? My friend is falling in love?"

"S…shut up. Be grateful the professor is even seeing you. He isn't even one of my teachers." Celia says.

Daring pats her side. "It's okay, just get us to this professor and tell your lover to see if he can use the lab."

"Why?" Celia asks.

Daring sighs. "Just tell him that it's a toxin that's supposed to make a pony body act naturally to something that was never supposed to never happen again."

"O…kay." Celia says, stopping outside the office. "Here he is. Just come down the hall at the end. We'll try to take time for the last lab for you." She said before walking away.

Daring sighs and opens the door to find the professor griffon writing away at papers on his desk. He notices the two visitors and stops writing. "Yes?"

"Um…yes, excuse me, I'm professor Do. I believe a student asked for a meeting." Daring says in a professional tone.

The professor nods. "Yes, welcome Miss Do. Have a seat." He said pointing to a seat in front of his desk before seeing the pony behind her. "And this one?"

"Oh, he is my bodyguard. Can't be too safe now a days." Daring says.

The griffons nods. "Okay, so, what do you need me for?"

"Would you know what this is?" Daring asks taking out a dark purple orb.

The griffons quickly slams the desk and moves his head close to the object. "How did you get this?!"

Daring pushes the blaster away as Blitz trains it on the griffon. "Found it."

"I…I see." The griffon says.

Daring still eyes Blitz. "You might want to lean back, but what do you know about it?"

"The eye of Tifus, as described in the manuscript of Tifus himself." The griffon says leaning back.

Daring frowns a little. "Anything else?"

"You want to find the lost tomb of Tifus don't you?" He asks.

Daring nods. "Yeah, need to end this now."

"Ok, I have spent the better part of my life searching for this myself. I will give everything I have on one condition." He says.

Daring leans in slightly. "Yes?"

"Let this old griffon come along." He says.

Daring looks a bit surprised. "Are you sure? You do realize this is an old tomb with possibly the power of a god at the end that is filled with so many traps, you need to over bend your spine to survive?"

"This is my life dream." He says, looking over to the pictures on the wall.

Daring sighs while Blitz looks over and sees the photos and maps. "Okay, just don't get in the way of getting in there." She agreed.

"Thank you Miss. Do." He says.

Daring nods and takes the orb back. "Yeah, why don't you prepare while we finish some other business." She suggested getting out of her seat. "Come on Cross."

"Yes, ma'am." Blitz says opening the door for her.

Daring walks out, leaving the griffon wide eyed at what the pony's name was. Daring sighs in relief as she walks down the hall. "That could have gone better."

"If it was to found out what happened to your father, would you not act the same way?" Blitz asks.

Daring slows down a little. "Yeah, I actually would." She said before quickening the pace.

After a bit of walking they reach the labs and go to the farthest one and enter and walk in on something they didn't expect. Celia on her knees while doing something to a male griffon's groin. "We should have knocked." Daring said to Blitz quickly.

"Found it." Celia says putting a beaker on the table.

"False alarm Daring." Blitz says.

The birds quickly look over to the visitors. Celia chuckles nervously. "Um…this isn't what it looks like."

Blitz closes the door. "I think we have more important things to do than talk over something all of us have figured out." Blitz says setting the suitcases he had been carrying around all day.

The male griffon nods. "Yes, now what did you need the chemical and toxin lab for?"

Daring sighs. "I need you check on a heat drug placed in me. Something went wrong when trying to cure it."

"Interesting." Lunzer says adjusting his lab coat.

Daring nods and sits on one of the seats. "How long would it take?"

"Well, I first need a sample of your blood." Lunzer says pulling out a syringe.

Daring nods and pulls up her sleeves while Celia sits next to her. After Lunzer got the sample he moves over to a separator and places the vial in and a test tube of water on the other side, before turning it on.

"Just so you know, I brought the antidote I used on her. However, I was not able to recover the toxin bag." Blitz said moving the case to him as he waited.

Lunzer sighs and opens the case and Blitz shows him the antidote he use before Lunzer takes a sample and places it on the side as the separator stops. "Alright, let's see what we get."

Celia turns to Daring as the boys work. "So what the heck happened?"

"Another time." Daring says.

"Fascinating. This cure is attacking the foreign chemicals like a virus does." Lunzer says looking through notes and books. "It's eating away at it and even improving the cells around it, but this is a healthy blood sample." He grabs Daring's blood and mixes the toxin and watches as the cells react violently. "And of course the cells are going haywire. Cure time my pretties." He said injecting the antidote. "Strange, they are attacking the toxin, but it's making some stay stuck to the cells and even taking the shape of the toxin." He then turns to Blitz. "What the heck did you give her?"

"A cure all chemical. It has always cured poison, other chemicals, and even the common cold." Blitz says.

Lunzer just raises an eyebrow. "I'm not going to question that last part." He sighs. "The thing is, she said a toxin that makes her have the effects of heat, right?"

Blitz nods. "Yeah, what about it?"

Lunzer grimaces. "Heat is a natural process. The antidote was looking for foreign, meaning not natural to the body." He looks through the microscope again. "It seems that antidote couldn't cure it completely because it's all natural to her and so doesn't pick up by the antidote. Plus the fact you made things worse because the antidote makes a protective coating around the affected cells, trapping it and making sure it doesn't come back, but because it doesn't recognize her heat hormones and contaminants, it trapped them on the cells. I'm afraid Daring Do is stuck in heat forever because of you and that antidote. If you'd let the heat run its course, she wouldn't be stuck like this, maybe a month as for most regular ponies, and she would lose the hormones as a natural process. You trapped her."

"Ah I see, so that's what happened. Well at least I have something to negate the agent." Blitz says opening the briefcase up once again.

Daring stops him as Lunzer looks over the case full of vials. "Which one?" He asks.

Blitz points to a green one and Lunzer takes it and takes a sample before injecting it into the sample he set up. "Daring, can you live without hatchlings for the rest of your life?"

"Um…no, I want to have foals one day." Daring says.

Lunzer sighs. "Well then don't take this." He said getting back up. "The agent got rid of the coating, yes, but also all possible connections. If a blood cell is connected to your hormone it would then separate it and then destroyed the one without a base connection, i.e., the hormone. Even the ones floating around, it would destroy it. I think if you take this, you lose all hormones that are being used right now and since that is heat…" He trails off for her to finish on her own.

"Or you could try this one." Blitz says pulling out a white one.

Lunzer huffs. "You got an answer for everything, don't you?" He said taking out another antidote sample of blood and using the white serum. "Destroys the coating…and there goes the blood cell. I think its best you stop at this point. You already setup a dangerous cocktail."

"It's called a gene restorer. It is a last resort. It forces the one taking it for its body to forcibly reset itself to where they were before the alteration. But it is like torn apart from the inside out and you could die." Blitz says.

Lunzer looks over the white serum. "But before what alternation? We, as a growing species, are changing every time."

"Any unnatural ones." Blitz says putting it away.

Lunzer sighs. "Everything can be unnatural to us. But let's leave it to her." He said looking to Daring.

"It's your call Daring." Blitz says.

Daring takes the white serum out and looks it over. "Any unnatural you say?"

Lunzer grimaces. "Unnatural as we understand it means everything except your base code. So everything you had when you were born, but not giving vaccinations and things of that nature."

Daring keeps looking at the bottle. "No." She said placing it down.

Blitz secures the serums. "Well what now Daring?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks to him. "I'm in heat yes, but I can control it and no stallion notices anything coming from me so it's not that level. I guess the only thing is expect things faster and more percentage of it happening and prepare for the sexy terms to come out more often. I'll be careful."

"Yeah, so want to go get a hotel and rest up for the trip?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods and gets down from her seat. "Yeah, let's go." She turns Celia. "It was great seeing you again and your boyfriend here." She said looking over to Lunzer. "But I have to go now."

"Daring!" They heard Celia screech after Blitz closed the door.

Daring lightly smiles as she looks slightly back to the door. "She'll be with a fine griffon." She then looks to Blitz. "Come on." She said before starting to leave the university.

"You lead the way boss." Blitz says.

Daring grins. "Boss, huh?"

"You got a problem with that professor?" Blitz asks.

Daring shakes her head. "No, none at all." She before trying to speed up.

Blitz seeing this, matches her pace while trying to keep the briefcases from falling off him.

Soon they reach a small hotel and went inside to find it moderately nice. "Good enough." She said going to the front desk and going through the process of getting a room. After getting their key, they head upstairs in the elevator. "Blitz?"

"I know, too heavy, I'll take the stairs." Blitz says carrying all the luggage.

Daring smiles as he steps out of the elevator and allows it to close before taking the long walk up. Daring hums along to the tune of the music until it stops a few floors away from hers. The door opens and an employee stallion enters with his luggage carriage. "Excuse me miss." He said moving it inside.

Daring moves to the side and allows the stallion to move next to her and ready to push out before he starts sniffing something. "Miss, do you smell something?" The stallion asks.

Daring quickly shakes her as the stallion keeps sniffing before he ends his sniffing at her. 'Dang it, I didn't know it was that strong.' The stallion soon started to breathe heavily as he moves closer to her. "Miss." He said breathlessly. 'Must have never been laid.'

The stallions starts to slowly push her against the wall as Daring tries to fight it. 'This is all stronger than I thought, it must affect both ways.' The stallions soon pushes her against the wall and sniffs her neck. Daring gulps as she lost control of movements and soon was rescued by the elevator bell ringing as they reached her floor and something pulls the stallion off of her. "Oy! Not a good place." A voice said before putting him on the other side of the elevator and grabbing Daring and placing her on his back.

Daring breathes carefully as she regained control as he walks to their room. "I think…I think I should stay with you, forever."

"Yeah." Blitz says as he reaches the room door. He then enters the room with her locking the door after he closed it. "You want to get into the bath?" Blitz asks putting her on the bed.

Daring nods. "Yeah, go run it." She said staring to get out of her clothes.

"Look Daring. I'm sorry." Blitz says.

Daring looks at him as she stops unbuttoning her shirt. "What are you sorry about? It's my fault."

"No, I rushed and gave you something without thinking about the consequences." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "The antidote, right?"

"Yeah, if I had thought ahead, you wouldn't be like this." Blitz says.

Daring shakes her head. "No, you couldn't have known. And…can you get out of that thing? Feels like I'm talking to a tin pony."

"So you didn't notice?" Blitz asks.

Daring tilts her head. "Notice what?"

"In the lobby, there was a brown unicorn mare with a blue mane, sound familiar?" Blitz asks.

Daring thinks for a few. "Oh yeah, her. The unfaithful employer."

"She might be the mare he told us about." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "So…what are we going to do?"

"We have no proof and she has no bounty so I'm just staying on guard for now." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Can you run the bath?" She asks returning to getting out of clothes.

"Sure." Blitz says getting up.

Daring watches as he goes to the bathroom and soon heard the water as she takes her hat off. She groans as she gets off the bed and starts heading for the shower to find Blitz getting out of his armor. "Can you come in with me?" She asks stepping in a bit.

"You sure that's a good idea?" Blitz asks.

Daring tries to smile. "If it's you. You know how to put up with me and know how to handle me if things go wrong." Blitz looks down and Daring could tell he was blaming himself again. Daring sighs. "Blitz, it wasn't your fault. Like I said, you couldn't have known."

"But, I…" Blitz stops when Daring grabbed hold.

Daring glares at him. "Never knowing is different than knowing. One places you under a burden, the other is already accepted."

Blitz remains silent as Daring leads him into the shower. Daring sighs and lets the water hit them as she leans against him. "Blitz, I could never hate you."

"How couldn't you? How could any of you care for a murderer for hire?" Blitz asks.

Daring puts her head under his. "Because the pony with me is not Southern Cross. It's Apple Blitzkrieg. A kind unicorn that wants to help others, no matter what happens to him. If you weren't there on the ship or at the temple, it might have gotten worse for me. And I'm sure you did things in the name of Southern Cross, but it's Blitzkrieg who was running the show and making sure everypony is okay behind the scenes."

Blitz just leaned into the crook of Daring's neck, not about to contain his tears as the water rushed over him. Daring smiles a little as he starts to shakes a little and she can hear him whimper a little. "Southern Cross is never with me, it's the strong and kind and funny Blitz and he makes sure that nothing goes wrong to his friends and family."

"And yet, all I do is fail. Just like I failed with you." Blitz says letting her support him completely as he breaks down.

Daring shakes her head. "No, if you failed me, I would have left and never looked back. But I'm here with you, supporting you. If you failed, why do you still have me, right beside you?"

Blitz couldn't say nothing more as he was now realized how funny it was, being held up by Daring's support.

Daring hears him laughs quietly. "What's so funny?"

"I have been working alone in the field for so long and the moment another supports and comforts me after I feel I failed them, I break down like a little foal. It's hilarious and can be considered a little pathetic." Blitz says.

Daring sighs and looks to him. "No, you're not pathetic, you're you. The stallion I know and…" She quickly quiets down and looks away.

"Yeah, there is no need to say anything else." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "Yeah, none at all."

"So no matter what you learn about me, you have decided to stay by my side?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "Yeah, there is nopony else that I trust more than you."

"You might regret it. Are you sure you want to take the risk?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks to him. "If I do, what kind of friend am I for breaking off on the most important thing we need? I always stay by my friends."

"And those you feel stronger for?" Blitz asks.

Daring sighs. "No matter what, I stand by them and help them. If I don't, I'm the worst pony to even be in it."

"Alright." Blitz says, starting to calm down.

Daring huffs as she leans against him. "I told you, not your fault and not mine either. All his." She said.

"I should have beaten him to a bloody pulp while I had the chance." Blitz says.

"Speaking of which, were you seriously going to use that third claw?" Daring asks.

"Oh, no there is only two claws. I was lying through my teeth." Blitz says smirking.

Daring smiles and pushes her head under his. "That's the Blitz I know."

"Daring, you know you've stopped giving off heat and your smell." Blitz says surprised when he noticed it.

Daring looks a little surprised as well. "Really, you can't smell me?"

"No, which is weird, I have been about to smell you as plain as day ever since that morning." Blitz says.

Daring looks to herself. "But…I still feel something."

"What?" Blitz asks.

"Relief." Daring says smirking at playing him.

Blitz hits her. "Thanks for that. I was worried I had to watch you for the rest of your life."

Daring stuck her tongue out at him. "Yeah, I played you completely. I started feeling better yesterday. That's for not telling me who you were when we met superstar."

Blitz narrows his eyes slightly. "Daring, I was really worried. I thought you might be stuck like this and you had to fight off all the stallions of your life."

"Nope, while you were asleep, I went to see the physician on the cruise ship who originally gave me an inoculation shot for the griffon kingdom and every time I get one of those, I get seasick. Well the doctor gave me something for the drug after examining my blood and told me it would slowly cure me, but most of the drug was already destroyed by what you gave me and I would feel a minor version of it until my body expelled the last bit. I even sent a letter on ahead using the delivery pigeon to get those two to play along." Daring explains, still smirking.

Blitz sighs. "Daring…please don't make me worry like this again. But why did you play along for the entire thing?"

"Like I said, to punish you for not telling me who you were. My publisher nearly didn't publish my latest book because he was afraid you would sue for copyrights." Daring says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow before sighing and letting go of her and steps out. "I don't even know the copyright system like that. Just criminal and corporate crimes."

"Oh no, you don't. You're not done in here." Daring says pulling him back in and pours shampoo on his head. "You haven't bathed in three days and you reek. Time to get clean." Daring says.

Blitz grumbles. "Well, you can head out on your own after this. I doubt you would need me anymore."

"Oh no can do Blitzy, you are coming with me. After all, you said so yourself that my rival has already seen you with me." Daring says scrubbing him.

"Meaning they will come after me. Maybe you are right, for me that is a mandalorian trick that I use for hunting a few bounties." Blitz sighing as she lather him up with soap.

Daring looks to him. "And you need a friend in these times. Nopony can live without a friend forever."

"Well, I would have brought Terran along, but somepony needs to watch Lightning Dust's back as she starts." Blitz says.

"Lightning Dust, your sister perhaps?" Daring asks.

"No, just a pegasus I picked up off the street and decided to train." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "But if you were given a chance, would you leave if there is no trouble?"

"The main reason I came over here was to make bits, so I can financially start up the restoration project back in Equestria." Blitz says.

Daring watches him. "So you would leave me?"

"Let's see, I made a hundred thousand right off the back and I'm betting that they will hire more thugs and some might have bounties an…don't you dare put that bow on the sink in my mane." Blitz says as if reading Daring's mind.

Daring scoffs. "Why do you ruin my life?"

"Because it would look so much better in yours." Blitz says as the water rinsed him off.

Daring blushes a bit. "You know, maybe I should just let you go. I can handle myself."

"Not bringing it up and now it is your turn Daring. You wash my back, now I wash yours." Blitz says.

Daring shakes her head and puts him out. "I can handle myself." She said before closing the curtain.

"Ah…Daring." Blitz says.

"What?" Daring asks sticking her head out and seeing he had the soap and shampoo.

Daring glares and grabs the stuff before going back in. "Just go to sleep."

"Daring, I have always wondered something." Blitz says.

Daring's huff was heard. "What?"

"What is it like to fly under your own power?" Blitz asks.

"I don't know. Just freedom." She said.

"You probably heard the rumors I can fly right?" Blitz asks.

"So what? You experience it, didn't you?" She asks.

"No, that was my armor. I can't fly, only with that type of armor can I fly." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Just freedom. That's it, now get to sleep."

"Tell me if this sounds stupid, but a lifelong dream of mine, that I only recently remembered, is to fly under my own power with no need of equipment or magic." Blitz says.

Daring was silent for a bit. "It's not, but go to sleep. We got a big day tomorrow."

"Ok, I'll leave be. After all, a bodyguard shouldn't intrude on the privacy of the mare he is guarding." Blitz says getting his equipment out of the bathroom floor.

Daring only respond by throwing her shampoo at him and hits him on the head. "Get out!" Daring got it back surrounded in a golden yellow aura before she heard the door close.

Blitz sighs as he places his armor on the table before heading to the bed before stopping and looking around and then moves to the window and lays down right beside it and tries to sleep. He rolls several times trying to get some sleep before sighing and walks over to the briefcase.

Daring moans slightly as she dries herself and then opens the door before almost closing it and sees Blitz mess around with his case and injects himself with something and then closes the case after placing it back in and moves to the window and lays down again. "What did you do?" Daring asks.

"Gave myself something to sleep." Blitz says closing the curtains with his magic.

Daring looks at him as he tries to sleep and soon a snoring sound came from him. She sighs and moves over to her bed and brings the covers around her as well and trying to sleep. 'Come to think of it, I've seen you inject yourself with something before going to sleep all but the first night on the ship.' Daring thinks.

She looks to him and sighs and gets out of bed. She then goes over to him and lays down with him and covers him with her wing and tries to sleep. "I'm sorry." She said, even though he was already sleep.

The night passed and Daring yawned as she awoke, finding Blitz still in her wings. She smiles and leans against him a bit. "I'm sorry for what I said." Daring says, after a few moments she gets up and unwraps Blitz from her wings and starts getting dressed. As she puts on her hat, she sees the injector on the table, the container for the chemical still mostly full. "What is that anyways?" Daring wonders, going over. Daring picks it up and smells it and her eyes fly wide open. 'Oh Celestia no.' She thinks before moving over to Blitz with great speed and shakes him harshly. "Blitz come on wake up!" Daring yells.

"Wha…wha…what is it, what is going on!" Blitz yells jolting awake.

Daring just throws the injector on the ground. "What's in this stuff?!" She yells while swaying a bit.

"Ugh…hold on a minute, I need some strong coffee." Blitz says still trying to wake up.

Daring grabs him and pulls him to his hooves and she falls down from lack of balance. "Fix this!"

"You smelled it, didn't you?" Blitz asks getting up.

Daring groans. "Fix it!"

"You need coffee is all." Blitz says picking her up.

Daring glares at him. "This is your fault!"

"Seriously, are we married?" Blitz asks.

Daring squirms a bit. "If you haven't use that thing then I wouldn't be in this mess!"

"I can't sleep when I'm on the job. I have to force myself to with that." Blitz says.

Daring was then put down. "You idiot! After this, you're fired!"

"Yeah, yeah, after the job is over." Blitz says before ordering coffee from room service and starting to put on his armor.

Daring growls. "No, after we leave this place, you're on your own! I don't want to see you again!"

"Daring." Blitz says and several moments later she huffed. "Fine." She says. "But I'm watching you, no more poisoning yourself." Daring says.

Blitz shrugs. "It's not poison."

"Same difference, no more of it." She says.

"Yeah, I think I forgot our wedding." Blitz jokes.

Daring growls. "If I wasn't on the ground, I would bucking murder you!"

"You will get your chance soon enough Daring. A few minutes after drinking the coffee and you will be like you didn't smell it." Blitz says.

Daring kept growling before a waiter came up and gave Blitz the cups of coffee and tips him before closing the door and gave Daring one of the cups and soon she was up and about. Daring still frowned as she didn't look at him. "I still hate you."

"Oh Daring, I heard an interesting idea from the rumors floating around in Equestria." Blitz says.

Daring huffs. "I don't care and I could hear it on my own day."

"They think I'm a mare and the only reason you were the first to have me in a book was because we sleep together. Tell me how ridiculous is that. I mean seriously, I even overheard this from a mare." Blitz says.

Daring frowns. "Good, more trouble for you. I mean it Blitz, after this, I don't want to see you."

"Daring, I already accepted the job to be your bodyguard. You even said so yourself and I never quit a job even if the employer wants me to. You're stuck with me Daring." Blitz says.

Daring growls as she turns to him. "Don't you get it?! I hate you and I never want to see you again. So shut up and leave me alone!"

"Daring, you know I can tell you're lying to me." Blitz says downing the coffee and walking over.

Daring glares at him. "Take off your helmet."

Blitz takes it off and puts it on the table. "Daring, if you hated me, you wouldn't have supported me last night. I can already tell you are a kind soul and trying to push me away so you don't hurt me." Blitz says.

Daring stares at him before punching him straight in the face and sends him reeling back. "I told you…everything is your fault."

"You are lying to yourself and me Daring." Blitz says getting up and facing her again.

Daring growls and hits him again that sends him back a bit.

"I'm not running nor am I leaving Daring." Blitz says getting up and moves closer.

Daring yells and hits him on the head, sending him down to the ground. "Shut up!"

Blitz gets up this time evading her next punch and grabs her. Blitz doesn't say a word and just holds her close.

Daring starts hitting him over and over as she started to cry. "Get away from me. Just get away. Get away. Leave me to die." She sobbed as her punches were getting slower and lighter.

"Never." Blitz says.

Daring whimpers. "Why don't you just leave me alone?"

"Because I know what it is like and I won't let you be that way anymore." Blitz says.

Daring cries as she pushes her head against his chest. "Just…leave me alone."

"I won't. I'm not leaving you behind." Blitz says.

Daring tries to push him away. "Blitz, please leave me alone. I want to be alone. It's the one thing I'm good at."

"I once thought that, but I was saved from it. Now it is your turn. Stop clinging to the past and move on. Lay the memory of your father to rest. I know it isn't easy. I also have those who I have yet to do it to." Blitz says.

Daring cries into his chest now as she stopped hitting him. "Blitz, why are you doing this?"

"Because I care for you." Blitz says.

Daring sniffs. "Blitz, why?"

"Do I need a reason?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods into his chest.

"I don't, you have been betrayed enough to have someone be there for you without a reason." Blitz says.

Daring just cries now. "Blitz?"

"Let it out." Blitz says petting her mane.

Daring cries into his chest for a bit as time pass by. "Blitz?"

"Yes Daring?" Blitz asks.

Daring sniffs a bit. "I don't care about archaeology. I don't care about teaching." She finally pulls her head away and looks at him. "I just want you."

"You got me Daring, but on one condition. You can't give up on your other two joys of archaeology and teaching." Blitz says.

Daring sniffs. "Blitz, do you love me?"

"Daring, you know I'm no good with saying how I feel. So please judge by my actions." Blitz says.

Daring smiles a bit. "Ok, I'll expect nothing less from you softy." She says her eyes on the helmet on the table and a smirk forms as she looks over his shoulder.

Blitz sighs. "Thank you Daring, but we need to go now. So are you sure you're ready?" Blitz says letting go and going to put up the injector still on the floor after he sterilized it. Looking back, he sees Daring wearing his helmet. "Daring, what are you doing?" Blitz asks.

Daring giggles a bit before walking over to him and stopping in front of him. "Trying to figure out how to turn it on?" Blitz asks smirking.

"Maybe." Daring says in a playful voice.

Blitz sighs. "Okay Daring, take it off."

"What do you got to offer for it?" Daring asks.

Blitz smirks. "How about marrying me?"

"I don't see a ring, so for now." Daring says before tackling him onto the bed.

Blitz looks a bit worried. "Um…Daring?"

"Shush. I'm getting my payment." Daring says removing the helmet before kissing him.

Blitz goes wide eyed as she kissed him before letting go. "Daring…stop." He said while trying to get out.

"Payment rendered." She whispers into his ear before placing the helmet on his head.

Blitz looks confused at her. "That's it? Nothing else?"

"Nope. One kiss." Daring says smugly waving her tail at him.

Blitz frowns a bit before smiling. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah, I do. Now come on." Daring says.

"Yes…would you prefer, boss or ma'am?" Blitz asks.

Daring stops and looks at him. "How about…Daring. Because I'm going to give payment now and again."

"I guess I'll take the payment method you just used when we are alone." Blitz says.

Daring smirks. "You want it again?"

"Don't you?" Blitz asks getting next to her.

Daring smiles as she starts to push him back to the bed. "Kinda, you?"

"I'll let you figure that out, now come on, let's go." Blitz says lifting her up with magic.

Daring pouts a bit before sighing. "I'm sorry."

"You got nothing to be sorry for. Now come on Daring, we have to meet with your excavation crew." Blitz says.

Daring smiles a bit. "You know we could just spend some time here or someplace private without that armor of yours."

"Then we would have to deal with mor…" Blitz stops when he opens the door and a pony with a serving tray stand on the other end. Blitz tilts his head. "Can I help y…oh wait, never mind. You got a bounty for assassinating." He takes out his blaster and points it at him. "Collection time!" Blitz cheers shooting a stun shot into the pony. "Daring, I think we are going to have to check out." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "I might have to agree. Shall we, my sexy stallion?"

"Lead the way." Blitz says getting all the luggage with his magic and drags the assassin down the stairs with them roughly.

Daring grins as she hears the grunts from the assassin. "So…want to grab a bite to eat on the way?" She asks casually while Blitz 'accidentally' drops the assassin down over two stairs, making him hit his head extra hard.

"Only if it is to go." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "Good enough. But I need to pay twice."

"Rather than letting more like this one come at us." Blitz says now dragging the assassin by the tail.

Daring nods as they get close to the ground floor. "Okay, but I mean a different kind of payment for you."

"Start a tab for me." Blitz says.

Daring giggles and places her tail over him. "Come on, you know what I'm talking about."

"I know and I meant what I said." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "And when do you want payment?"

"When we are alone. After all, you don't want the public know what I look like so they can't annoy us while I'm Southern Cross." Blitz says.

Daring smirks and moves her tail under him and taps him. "What about just this area uncovered?"

"Well…um…I don't think I'm ready for that step just yet." Blitz says.

"Oh that's right you can be quiet and shy. Though you can be quiet while I do something that doesn't involve that far." Daring says smirking.

"Yeah, so please don't tease." Blitz requests.

Daring smirks. "So I can mess with it?"

"That is not what I meant and you know it." Blitz says.

Daring pouts before starting to burst out laughing. "Oh boy, you actually thought I might do that for you?"

"Well…I…um." Blitz tries to form a proper sentence.

"Ok, listen, I consider myself a classy mare when it comes to that." Daring says as the assassin hits his head again.

"Oh thank heaven." Blitz says.

Daring suddenly moves near his ear. "Or am I?"

"Daring!" Blitz yells as Daring nearly falls over laughing.

After checking out and turning in the assassin, they finally took the train to the excavation site. "So I can't do that?" Daring asks smirking as they sat in their cabin and Daring was rubbing her hoof on his piece of armor.

"No, I have never done that, for your information." Blitz says grabbing her hoof.

Daring smiles and pulls her hoof back and leans back in her seat. "Hey Blitz?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks to him. "It sounds like you have somepony."

"Well, Princess Twilight has made some moves." Blitz says as he leaned on his hoof as he looks out the window to the sky.

Daring smiles. "Sounds like there's more."

"I'll make you a deal Daring." Blitz says.

Daring tilts her head. "What is it?"

"I'll tell ya'll everything if you can keep from asking about it till we finish the job." Blitz says.

Daring pouts. "Aww. That's no fair."

"Isn't that better than getting bits and pieces of it?" Blitz asks.

Daring smiles. "I guess it is. Though you got anything else you can tell?"

"Yeah, I envy you a bit for being able to fly under our own power." Blitz says, continuing to look into the sky.

Daring looks to him. "I don't know what to do about that."

"Nothing can be done, it is just the way I was born." Blitz says.

Daring watches him. "Did you ever wanted to be born different?"

"Sometimes, but I guess it is just like my adopted father said I'm just howling for the moon." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "Do you know who your real parents are?"

"No." Blitz says flatly.

Daring sighs. "Sorry."

"No harm done. I would have liked to have known them, but what is done is done. Heck, my birth mother could be Luna as far as I know." Blitz jokes.

Daring raises an eyebrow at him. "Maybe."

"That was a joke." Blitz says facing her.

Daring sighs and goes to the door and brings down the blinds before sitting down by him again.

"Time to pay my tab?" Blitz asks closing the blinds of the window and takes off his helmet.

Daring just looks to him. "It never stopped. Come on." She said grabbing his hoof and leading him to the bed on the other end.

"I pay in kisses remember." Blitz says hooking his hoof around her.

Daring smiles. "Did you ever want something more?"

"Um…I'm not able to do that yet. Still struggling with kissing sometimes." Blitz says.

Daring smiles as she holds a hoof to his lips. "How about you take what you want?"

Blitz nods before leaning forward and kissing Daring. Daring smiles as she kisses back before he lets go and goes to kiss her again which she allows as she starts stepping back with him following. Blitz smiles before he fell forward and fell onto Daring on the bed, making him stop and look to her. "What the heck?" He asks.

"Oh darn, I guess you can lead a pony to water, but you can't force it to drink." Daring says trying to be cute with the comment.

Blitz sighs and kisses her nose. "You're too cute."

"I know." Daring says sticking out her tongue.

Blitz sighs and sits up while sitting up with Daring and has her sit on his lap. "How many do I owe now?" He asks.

"None, you paid your tab for now." Daring says tracing her hoof around on Blitz's armor.

"Oh, you not extending my bill with interest?" Blitz jokes.

Daring smirks. "Do you want me to?"

"You aren't the only one with jokes." Blitz says.

Daring giggles as she leans her head against him. "You sure can make my life crazy."

"Would you rather it be boring?" Blitz asks.

Daring shakes her head. "No, just…let's not hurt each other again."

"For that we need to be honest with each other." Blitz says.

Daring slightly looks at him. "Are you ever going to tell yours?"

"Now Daring, I told you I would tell you everything when this over." Blitz says booping her nose lightly.

Daring smiles as she rubs her nose. "Then how am I going to be honest with you?"

"You tell me how you feel." Blitz says.

Daring stiffens a bit. "Well…I feel…" She sighs and turns to him. "Can you kiss me?" Blitz says nothing and kisses her again. Daring moans into the kiss as she leans more into him. Soon they separated again. "Do I have to say it?" She asks a bit embarrassed as she leans her head into his neck.

"In public, when I can't take off my armor, yes." Blitz says.

Daring presses her lips together and just buries her face into his neck. "Don't make me say it." She said muffled.

"You're adorable when you're like this." Blitz says.

Daring just raises a hoof in front of him and was about to bring it down before just placing it on his face. "Do you really want me to say it?"

"Only if you're ready." Blitz says.

Daring moves her hoof over to his cheek before making his head turn to her. She looks up at him as she pulls him in close. "I am."

"Then say it." Blitz says holding her as her wings encircle him.

Daring sighs as she gets closer. ""I…I love you."

"There you go." Blitz says as his ear perked up. "Somepony is coming." He says grabbing his helmet with his magic and slips it on.

Daring looks away as he places her down on the bed and he moves to the other side of the room.

"We will continue that later." Blitz says as the door opens.

The professor opens the door and sees the state Daring is in. "Did I interrupt something?"

"No, nothing at all. So has something happened?" Daring asks adjusting her hat.

The professor sighs. "Well, we got heavy weather at the site. Visibility is poor" He said taking out a paper. "Rain, wind, the whole thing. We can still work, but we can stay at the site for it to blow over if you want. What do you want to do?"

"It's your call Daring." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "We don't have a lot of time when we get there, especially with who wants the eye and the treasure for themselves. We have to go through the weather."

"As you say boss." Blitz says.

The professor nods. "Okay, I'll send the message ahead to the dig site and tell them to get ready. We should be there in a few hours." He said before closing the door and leaving.

"Strange, I checked the weather, we aren't supposed to have rain for two weeks." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Blitz, can we not talk about this for a bit?"

"Daring, I think those who are after the eye are either close or at the site." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "I already got that, but can we not talk about it for now?"

Blitz sat against the wall as he waited.

"Blitz, can you come over here?"

"This is the perfect spot to get any would be assassins from getting you." Blitz says his blasters out.

Daring sighs. "And not even next to me is a good spot?"

"From here, I can blast them as they jump through the window and if they come through the door." Blitz says.

Daring looks away. "Blitz, why can't you ever talk about yourself?"

"I told ya Daring, I would tell you everything when this is over." Blitz says.

"Well I notice your country accent." Daring says. Blitz goes silent. "I got to say it is kind of adorable." Daring says.

Blitz blushes. "I'm going to look over the land." He said to cover himself. Daring says nothing as she moves beside him and lays down. Blitz looks slightly over to her. "What are you doing?" He asks.

"Since you won't come to me. I came to you." Daring says.

Blitz gulps a bit. "O…O…Okay." He said before turning back forward.

"You know, I've never felt safer." Daring says.

Blitz tries to smile. "That's because I'm saving your flank every time."

"There is that and there is the fact…" Daring trails off and leans against him.

Blitz sighs. "What are you going to do when we get back to Equestria?"

"Drag you to a church." Daring says smirking.

Blitz couldn't help but give little laugh. "Listen Daring, I got the princess and some others after me. What would it look like when you marry me right off the block?"

"That I one upped them all." Daring joked.

Blitz smiles. "You are going against a princess."

"I've gone up against mummy's curses, ancient monsters, and deadly traps, this is just something added to the list." Daring jokes.

Blitz chuckles. "Is a spiritual journey from ancient artifacts that taught you the true meaning of the artifact and what it's for, on that list as well?"

"Maybe." Daring says.

Blitz sighs. "Now you're learning."

"Oh, don't worry, I will pick out a nice dress for you to wear." Daring jokes.

Blitz sighs and wraps his leg around her. "So…what do we have to expect from the temple?"

"Death traps, lost secret, maybe a platypus bunny." Daring says

"A what?" Blitz asks.

Daring smirks. "Ever heard of the honey badger?"

"Yes, ugly little things, but vicious." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "Same thing with the bunny."

"Ok, now you have completely lost me." Blitz says.

Daring giggles. "Yeah, that tends to happen."

"Oh, I can tell my life with you in it will be very confusing." Blitz says.

Daring giggles some more as she leans against him. "And it wasn't now?"

"Point." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "Can you take that thing off?" She asks tapping his helmet.

"Not for a while." Blitz says.

Daring sighs and just leans against him. "Think we might get attack just as we step off the train?"

"A possibility or they could be thinking of coming through that window any second." Blitz says.

Daring looks to him. "You worry too much."

"And you don't worry enough." Blitz says.

Daring giggles. "Now we just need the rings and wedding cake and we got ourselves balanced out and ready to have fun."

"Hey, the marriage jokes are my thing." Blitz says in a light hearted way.

Daring laughs as she hits his shoulder. "Well too bad." She said sticking her tongue out at him.

They rode the rest of the way in silence as Blitz kept on guard and Daring started studying the material the professor gave her. After a while the professor opened their door. "We're here." He said holding his bag over his shoulder. They packed their bags and followed the professor and soon they exited the train onto the platform which has the land having rain and a slight fog. "Might want to grab something to eat, it's going to be a while." The professor said as he walks toward a carriage.

Blitz says nothing as he carefully surveys the area. Daring smiles as she buys some treats and gives some to Blitz while the professor came back. "Got a ride. Let's go." He said and they got on and started to ride to the site as the rain got a bit heavier and foggier.

"I don't like this." Blitz says in the carriage.

Daring huffs. "You're not the only one."

The professor nods. "Yeah, it's almost…unnatural."

They watch as the carriage soon stops at a gap in a fencing and a worn path ahead of it. "This is it." The professor said putting his coat on and getting out.

"Hold on." Blitz says getting out and observing the road carefully.

Daring sighs and puts her raincoat on and sticks her head out. "Anything?"

"Yeah, hard to tell, but the side of the road there has recently been dug up." Blitz says.

The professor looks around as well. "Anything to tell what it is?"

"No, But I got something for it." Blitz says taking out a grenade and tossing it to the spot he specified.

After a few seconds the grenade exploded and body parts flew up and screeches were heard before some thuds were heard. "Wow, spiders huh?" Daring asks as she sees a leg.

"I hate spiders." Blitz says flatly.

Daring sighs and gets out and pays the driver before he speeds off for some reason that almost tilts his carriage over. "Well that was weird." She said as she watches him leave.

"Giant spiders are a problem here in the griffon kingdom." The professor says.

"And who wants to bet they are in the temple?" Blitz asks.

Daring sighs and walks along the path. "Let's go, we need to get there before this weather gets any worse."

They started to follow her as the fog got even heavier and the professor and Blitz kept an eye out for anything. After a while, they finally started to walk on old stone that was partially flooded in some areas. "I think this is it." Daring said as the professor took out something.

"Yeah, this is the site." The professor said, reading a sign.

"Here lies the key of the rebel hero." Blitz says reading the translation of the inscription his helmet provided.

They look to him a confused. "That's…correct." The professor said.

Daring sighs. "Come on. When he's around, expect weird stuff to happen." She said heading between two pillars with statues on top of them.

"To avoid traps for barbarians and foreigners, walk the way of the bird to your left." Blitz reads.

They immediately turn left at that. "Well now I'm glad you brought him along." The professor said as they near some light in the fog.

The light soon separated the fog and revealed the campsite sitting outside the entrance of the temple. "This isn't the picture I was thinking." Daring said.

The professor nods as he looks at the abandoned and open tents and temporary buildings, fires left attended but controlled, high winds sending things around and the rain making them wipe it away from their faces every now and again. "Huh, well now we need a scraping sound, some crows and maybe an artifact in front of us and we got a b-rated horror movie and maybe a video camera for the found footage version."

"And a lot of spider repellent." Blitz says starting to fire.

Daring frowns as she looks around. "Get down, now!" She whispered harshly as she took cover behind an overturn table.

"You want some, come get it. I got enough for all of you." Blitz says blasting almost at random.

The professor and Daring look at him and sweatdrop. "Does this…happen often?" He asks.

Daring facehoof. "Kind of." She said before grabbing the back of his collar and pulls him down. "You're lucky those things didn't react." She whispered pointing to the pony shapes sluggishly moving around.

"Oh, no way. Tell me those are not zombies." Blitz says using the flamethrower on another spider close by.

Daring grabs his weapon and aim carefully before shooting and hitting the part of the body where the heart is. They watch as the body falls down. "Guess n…" The professor stops as it gets back up. "Never mind."

"Sunva bitch!" Blitz yells flipping a spider onto one of them and it digs into the body, not bothering the pony at all.

Daring sighs. "Okay, apparently they have some bad hearing after your outburst and the shot." She said giving Blitz his blaster back. "We will sneak past and…do you guys hear breathing?"

"Daring, which would be better, explosives or ripping it apart with claws?" Blitz asks.

Daring grabs his blaster again and turns around quickly and fires into the head of the pony. "There." She said before it slowly gets up again. "Burn it."

"Ok, I'm just going to ask it now, when did we enter a survival horror video game?" Blitz asks burning the thing to ashes.

The professor sighs. "Maybe when we have to deal with the new treasure. Also, they're coming over." He said pointing to the bodies of both ponies and griffons coming at them and acting almost like an angry mob.

Blitz tosses a grenade to Daring. "Pull the pin and throw it over their heads." Blitz instructs ripping a mandible out of a spider's mouth and using it to kill it.

Daring pulls the pin before reeling back to throw and sees the fuel containers and throws it there, away from the supposed zombies. "Might want to duck when it goes."

Blitz flips another spider onto the zombies and ducks with Daring with the professor covering them both as the grenade explodes and makes the fuel tanks go off and sends shards of metal and plastic away and slices through some of the zombies and spiders. Daring peeks her head up and sees most of them down or stunned.

Daring gathers her things pulls the professor up. "Let's go." She said before rushing into the temple.

"I feel the sign was misleading now." Blitz says.

The professor huffs. "Isn't every single one of them misleading?" He said picking up a shovel and running after Daring while whacking a pony on the head along the way.

"Let's see. This is the way of the entombed." Blitz reads the inscription in the door frame. "This isn't the way of the bird." Blitz says twitching a bit.

The professor looks inside and sees Daring struggling with something. "And we already got trouble." He said rushing in.

Blitz walks in still twitching to see it was bandages trying to drag Daring into a sarcophagus and burns them away before taking her outside with the professor. "This is all I have to say to this way." Blitz says barely containing himself as he throws grenades to the top of the entrance.

The professor just looks at Daring as the grenade explodes and the entrance collapses. "Did you almost get raped by bandages, in a sarcophagus?" He asks.

"No, that is the path of the entombed. If I had to guess, it would have made her into one of those from before." Blitz says.

Daring turns to him. "Then where do we go?"

"We find the path of the bird and god help anymore spiders I encounter!" Blitz yells and Daring actually sees some giant spider slink away.

The professor sighs and hits a griffon on the head nonchalantly as it walks up to him. "So where is the next path?" He said then slicing the head off with the shovel.

Blitz suddenly stops and does an improvised facehoof. "Oh my god, I just realized something." Blitz says.

They both look at him. "What?" They ask.

"How does a bird even travel?" Blitz asks.

They both look to each other before looking to their own wings and then back to him. "Well shit." The professor said.

"Should I wait while you two look?" Blitz asks.

Daring frowns. "And leave you with the tutorial level?" She asks shoving her hoof to the zombies still walking around.

"Oh don't worry, I can handle them. So please go find the path of the bird." Blitz requests.

They both look to each other before nodding. "Just make sure you start burning th…" Her only answer was a flamethrower being fired.

"Burn! All of you burn!" Blitz yells.

The professor sighs. "Let's go." He said before taking off.

After a bit of searching they found a landing platform hidden very well. "Path of the bird." Daring reads.

The professor sighs and sees the temple entrance. "Come on. The quicker we do this, the better chance we have of getting out of here without dying." He said going inside and hitting the pony coming around the corner.

"Ow, what the heck ya bleedin idiot, why did ya hit me?" A scottish accented pony asks.

The professor looks a bit surprised. "Oh, you ain't a zombie."

"No ya overgrown chicken." The pony insults taking a swig of his bottle of alcohol.

Daring looks a bit confused. "How the heck did you survive all those things down there?"

"I blew up everythin that wasn't me." The pony says.

The professor and Daring just look to each other. "Please tell me he's for real?" The professor asks.

"Ah, a bloody lassie is here. You must be the one that put this whole thing together. Miss. Do, right?" The pony asks to which Daring nods. "Well thanks for killin me friends out there!"

"Um…not my fault. I specifically told you all to wait for me before digging." Daring says.

"Oh, sure and that bloody assistant of yours didn't tell us just to break open the tomb." The earth pony says.

Now the professor and Daring looks confused. "We don't have assistants." They said at the same time.

"Sure ya do, the lassie is a brown unicorn mare with a blue mane." The pony says.

Daring's eyes widen. "Um…she doesn't work for me. In fact she's trying to kill me."

"What, that is ridicul….come to think of it, the lassie did disappear right before we blew open the first door, releasing those spiders." The pony says.

Daring sighs. "At least we know who is behind this. Did you at least find a big entrance that not even the explosives could break through?"

"Unfortunately, I ran out of me explosives a while ago killing them zombies." The pony thinks.

"Daring, do you think you should go get your bodyguard now that we have found the safe entrance?" The professor asks.

Daring sighs. "I got another way." She said showing the eye a bit and some of the touches and plates of ash and wood immediately spark to life. "This is the master key."

"Oh the bloody hell, a pegasus usin magic." The pony says.

Daring shakes her head before walking again. "Come on." She said heading down the hallway.

"What about Southern Cross?" The professor asks.

An explosion outside answered their question. "Good enough fo…back off." Daring said as a wall closed on a zombie after she held up the eye.

Moments later, two claws covered in blood, come through the wall. Daring ducks as the claws came really close to her head before she uses the eye again and the wall pulls back up as they claws retracted and the zombie standing there was being burned alive by Blitz.

"Wow, but I'm not paying for dry cleaning." Daring said.

"Oh there you are Daring. I ran out of them out there to burn so I enter the spider way and found myself here." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "Well we have a way, come on." She said leaving down a hallway.

"Who's he?" Blitz asks gesturing to the light blue earth pony taking another drink from his bottle.

The professor just points at him. "Meet the other requirement for a horror movie. The one character who can survive this whole thing, but looks insane by outside views."

"I thought the only other one was the first one to die." Blitz jokes.

The professor chuckles. "No, that's the female naked and running through the woods and when she's about to die she just screams while everyone else tries to run. Plus, that was racist."

"It was a joke unlike that giant queen like spider I burned to death, before reuniting with the group." Blitz says.

The professor raises an eyebrow. "Giant queen spider?"

"Do not ask, that thing will haunt me for weeks." Blitz says.

Daring peeks her head around the corner. "If you boys have finished your dick measuring contest, we got a tomb to explore."

"Yes, ma'am." Blitz says following with everypony else and the pony complaining about getting more scotch. "So how did you survive Mr.?" Blitz asks the earth pony.

"Aodh laddie."

"Yes, Mr. Aodh, how did you survive the spiders and the zombified ponies and griffons?" Blitz asks.

Aodh shrugs. "Run and explode. Simple as that. I might have busted a few heads on the way though."

"So you are a demolitionist, how good are you?" Blitz asks.

Aodh just looks to him. "Demolonisits? I just explode the thing."

"How good are you at it?" Blitz asks.

Aodh grins. "Too good."

"I see." Blitz says.

Aodh laughs a little before taking a swig. "Ahh, want some laddie?"

"No, I don't drink weak water." Blitz jokes.

Aodh frowns. "Ahh, you don't know what yer missing."

As they walk, an engraving caught Blitz's notice as it was under a unicorn stallion and a pegasus mare on the wall. "Hey Daring." Blitz calls.

Daring looks back at him. "Yeah?"

"What do you make of this? I think the unicorn is Tifus." Blitz says.

Daring walks up to the wall as her shirt pocket glows from the inside. "I don't know exactly…wait, it says that the weapon of power is something that is always used for others. Never has it been used for something inconsiderate or for peril. For when used in times of old does it never respond. For used when others are involved will it react, but also shape the world. The use of it will be catastrophic in every way and never will it be in the good graces of others."

"What the bloody hell is that supposed to mean?" Aodh asks.

Daring sighs. "It means no matter what, using the weapon will never be good even if used for good."

"So if that is Tifus, who is the mare? His wife?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks all over and couldn't find anything. "Who knows? Maybe she is, but for now we don't know."

"Yeah, let's keep going." Blitz says.

They kept walking through the temple as they see more and more depictions of Tifus and the mare and the civilization. "Strange that there is more of her. Maybe she is the wife." The professor deduced.

"Huh?" Blitz asks noticing what looked like a small monument with an inscription in it. "Let's see. Here I leave my last words and truth of what happened in those days for all those who come after. This is my story. The story of Tifus." Blitz reads.

They all stop and look at it. "So what does it say?" The professor asks.

"Some of it is worn by time, but what I am mostly getting is he fell in love with a slave mare who was a pegasus who was bought by his superior in, I think this means rank, but a lot of various meaning for this word. Anyways, the superior was well known for taking delight in being cruel and torturing other creatures. So when he learnt of this, he thought he could torture two at once, but Tifus did what didn't expect he lead his troops and attacked the superior and killed him. After that, there was no going back and he decided to not stop there and started freeing other enslaved creatures until it lead to full on opposing the empire." Blitz says.

They all looked a bit surprised. "Wow, that's…surprising." The professor said. "The old texts have him just freeing of others."

"Apparently there was more to it than that." Blitz says.

Daring looks to him. "And what's that?"

"He loved the slave pegasus mare Daring." Blitz says.

Daring keeps looking at him till she remembered something. "Loving a slave was frowned upon, even marrying one."

"Yes, keeping them for pleasure was acceptable, but any children they had would have been slaves as well. It seems Tifus fell in love with this one and knowing full well what he would lose, he choose her over it all." Blitz says sounding like he had a newfound respect for him.

Daring smiles a bit. "Well…do you know what happened to them?"

"No, it seems this one does not contain the full story. There must be others with the rest." Blitz says.

Daring pulls him along. "Come on, we might find more along the way."

"Yeah, let's go." Blitz says still looking at the engraving of the two ponies and also looking back at him and Daring.

Daring keeps looking around as the hallway actually widens out a bit. "Does anypony get the feeling we should have hit the other side of the temple?" She asks after a while.

"And that we have passed this corridor four times?" Blitz asks eyeing the scorch marks where he burned the last zombie.

Daring keeps looking around. "It has to be…wait." She said talking out the eye. "I wonder?" She said holding it up a bit. After a while of nothing happening, the eye suddenly glows a bit and soon everything started to move around them including the far parts of the hallway. "Get close. I have a feeling this is going to be big." She said as she held it up higher.

The three got up real close as the corridor started to shift and change. It's only when the pillars started to fall apart did they tense up. As the pillars fell the ceiling started to collapse and soon the outside was revealed. But they saw was not the outside of rain and fog, but rather sun and clear skies as the pillars reverted back to their shape. After a while of nothing happening, Daring put the eye back in her pocket and moves over to a hallway leading outside and looks out. "Guys, you might want to see this, cliché." She added as an afterthought.

They followed her and looked outside to see something surprising. "Since when did the camp disappear and this town appear, which has ponies going around as normal?" Blitz asks.

"Take a closer look, that isn't a normal town Blitz." The professor said.

Blitz looks closer and sees most ponies in either twos or threes and never more than a foot apart. "Wait, don't tell me…" He said as he spies mostly mares up close to stallions in either chains or leashes.

Daring sighs. "Welcome to the past. And this is my second trip into this kind of run."

"Wait, second?" Blitz asks.

Daring smiles to him. "Remember when you asked me about that artifact which make me learn about the artifact?"

"Yeah." Blitz says.

Daring looks proud. "I actually went to an ancient city full of demons and freed it."

"Ok, I definitely can't let you run off wherever you want anymore." Blitz says.

Daring smiles, but then frowns as she looks back to the town. "We need to go down there. You guys can walk around freely, but I may need to be tied. Who's willing to be my so called master?"

"We all know who it is going to be, come on." Blitz says.

Daring smiles as she looks to him. "I know, just making sure. There is nopony I trust more."

"Just don't cause trouble." Blitz says.

Daring grins. "Yes master. Now we just need something to tell I'm a slave."

"Speaking of which, I probably should buy you some new clothes." Blitz says observing what most were wearing.

Daring sighs. "We just need to…" She then spies a mare and stallion heading into the forest near the temple. "There, they must have something extra."

"Take a closer look. That is armor, meaning a soldier or an officer." Blitz says.

The professor looks down. "Or maybe this is the start of the story."

"Clothes first, then we will follow if they aren't back." Blitz says dragging her along.

Daring giggles a little. "You fell into the master role a little fast."

"No, I'm concerned how they will react to how you dress." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "I know, we just need to find a merchant or something or maybe just find an unlucky traveler."

"Just follow me and don't talk, I'm used to dealing with these types." Blitz says as he keeps dragging her.

After a while they were about to exit the temple when Daring stopped his pulling. "Wait." She said before taking off her hat and was reaching for her clothes. "Me wearing this is enough to put suspicion."

"And my armor isn't?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks up to him. "Your armor is good. It sort of matches foreigners they might get. But me…I'm a mare and they consider them slaves. Besides, you also need something else." She said taking off her shirt and putting it in his saddlebags with her hat before taking out a leash from another bag. "What were you doing with this anyway?"

"Got it off a vampire pony. Don't ask." Blitz says.

Daring looks to him with an eyebrow raised before putting it around herself and giving him the leash. "Let's go."

Blitz holds onto the leash as he drags her through the market getting many different looks as he scans the stores till he spots a store with clothes. "Come on." Blitz says moving to it.

Daring only can follow as she looks to the ponies in armor and some high looking ponies just looking at Blitz. 'Good, this is working.'

Blitz looks over the clothing as the merchant looks at him. "See anything you like for yourself?" The merchant asks, his language being translated from Blitz's armor.

"I want something for her." Blitz says, his armor translating his words into the language.

The merchant looks to the slave behind him. "Well, I got this and this only. The other merchants have the same thing." He said reaching behind the stall and taking out a box full of robes.

"Daring, pick one you like." Blitz says surprising the merchant. Daring looks up and sees the robes before picking up one that looks like her regular clothing color.

"Will this be enough?" Blitz asks pulling out a diamond he took off the assassin from the hotel.

If the merchant wasn't surprised before he was certainly surprised now. He looks at the diamond before reaching under his stall and taking out a box and rummaging through it before dropping some rubies. "More than enough."

"Keep the change." Blitz says as Daring slips on the robes.

The merchant looks shocked still as they walk away as he looks at the diamond. "But…only the lord has diamonds." He said to himself.

Blitz keeps walking with Daring as now he noticed some unicorns now watching Daring with smirks.

Daring sighs as they kept walking around, trying to find someplace higher other than the temple until two unicorn approached him. "Excuse me, but are you a foreigner?" One of them asks.

"And if I am?" Blitz asks.

The other just smiles. "Simply put, foreigners out here must pay a small fee to keep being here."

"Oh, really?" Blitz asks.

They nod. "Yes, we are representatives from the palace. We go around and make sure everything is all right. Now you need to pay at least fifty gold pieces."

"And if I don't have that much?" Blitz asks.

One of them nods. "Then we would have to report you and you may be asked to leave."

"Makes no difference to me, I'm just passing through." Blitz says.

The unicorns looks confused. "Still, if that's true, why not take the mountain pass?" One said pointing to the nearby mountain. "Takes you straight to the next town."

"Because I promised her I would get her something." Blitz says.

The unicorns look a little surprised. "You are getting something for your slave?" One asks.

"When one gives their word, one must honor it." Blitz says.

The unicorns look to each before looking back at him. "Even so, you must pay or be reported and if you can't pay in gold we will just take your slave here." One of them says as he moves close to Daring from behind.

"Touch her and I will take something from you." Blitz threatens.

The unicorns tried another step. "Listen, you will lose her if you're reported. This is a tax we usually do and for foreigners it is usually higher." The unicorn says reaching for Daring.

"I warned you." Blitz says and, in a flash of steel, the unicorn yelled as he held his face as a long diagonal cut was now there going through his left eye. Blitz held up a now bloodied claw coming out of his hoof's armor as he stood between them and Daring.

The other one growls a bit. "You bastard. You just violated at least ten laws. We will take her."

"Try and take her and I will do far worse." Blitz says.

The unicorn that was uninjured moves over to the other and pulls him away. "Come on, let's go. You'll pay and you will lose." He said before leaving.

"You ok?" Blitz asks.

Daring smiles. "With you, always. But yeah, I'm fine. Didn't touch a bit of hair on me."

"If they had, I would have taken his head instead of his eye." Blitz says.

Daring giggles a little. "Thanks, but we need to keep moving. That would have caught a lot of attention."

"Oh they won't come after us. They were just humiliated and were trying to scam me to take you." Blitz says.

Daring blushes. "You won't let me go, will you?"

"You know what I'm capable of and I already made you that promise now, come on, we have to go find those two and make sure they don't cause too much trouble." Blitz says.

Daring smirks. "Let's go get them."

"Right." Blitz says as they walk towards the food area.

The unicorns grumble to themselves as the one injured patches himself up in a sitting area for the food area. "Got another plan?" He asks.

"We can't go to the lord of the lands about this. We would have to explain this to him if we did." The other says.

The injured one huffs. "Then how will we get a mare to sell? You know our lord is expecting at least a single mare to sell so then he's allowed to give us one to share at least then we can have our own."

"Yeah, the lord is a real tight ass. I hear most other lords hand out mares to their soldiers." The guard says.

The injured unicorn hisses as he puts something on his cut. "Damn, we got to find a mare and fast. Who else is easy pickings?"

"You mean who won't run to the lord?" The uninjured one asks.

The injured one huffs. "We just need to find a low class scum and take his slave, who would believe him?" The injured one says before he stop moving and points to where Blitz and Daring were meeting with their other companions.

Blitz frowns a bit. "Kinda hate this place." He said as the professor and Aodh sat down at a table with them.

"I know what cha mean laddie." Aodh says.

The professor sighs and looks to Daring. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Cross here had to teach a few unicorns a few things though." Daring says.

The professor frowns. "Let's hope we don't cause a commotion from it."

"Well, here they come again." Blitz says.

They all look over to the two unicorns coming over. "Nice job laddie." Aodh said seeing the cut.

"Looks like they still haven't learned their lesson." Blitz says unmoving.

Daring watches them as they get close before she feels her collar tightening and she grabs her collar to get it loose. "What?" She breathes out. "What's going on?" She asks as she tried to loosen her collar.

"You want something else?" Blitz asks.

The injured one huffs as his horn lights up. "We want that mare. Now give her to us and we might let her live."

"I see. Then the solution is simple." Blitz says bringing out a blaster. "I end what I started." Blitz says casually shooting the unicorn's horn off.

Daring breathes in hard as she feels the collar loosen up. "Oh boy, that was a bit scary." She said trying to make sure her neck wasn't damaged.

The unicorn who wasn't shot lets out a small growl. "Shut it slave! This is between us."

"No, it's over. Continue this and I will kill you." Blitz says fully serious picking up the shattered horn.

The uninjured one was about to step forward when his injured partner holds him back. "Don't…" He groans. "We're done. Get me to a healer." He groans out as he holds his head.

"Be grateful I let you have your life." Blitz says.

"Yes, you two be grateful." A new voice says.

Daring looks up to the voice as she hears a somewhat familiar voice and sees a pony with his head covered by a metal helmet and in a uniform with somepony behind him. She then looks back to Blitz. "Did he just used your voice?"

"Your lordship, this foreigner…" The uninjured one starts.

The lord turns to them mad. "Quiet!" He yelled making them shrink back. He then turns to the four at the table. "You four are to come with me."

"And if we refuse?" Blitz asks.

The lord grins. "Then you are just going around with your heads cut off like a headless chicken."

"You want to try and back that up?" Blitz asks threatenly.

The lord chuckles before moving out of the way for the pony behind him. "Want to tell them?" He asks the mare tied by her collar to him.

"His lordship has guards all around ready to take you into custody." The mare says respectfully.

Blitz raises an eyebrow at the idea of the mare talking before sighing. "Okay, come on guys." He said getting up and pulling on Daring's leash a little.

The others follow the lord and the mare as they walk out through the little forest before the lord stops and looks at them. He smiles and grabs the mare's collar and let her off her leash. "You can let yours off the leash now. I can see that you hate it." He said packing away the leash and taking off his helmet.

"Well this is interesting." Blitz says as it was like looking into a mirror.

Daring looks a little shocked as Blitz took off her collar and leash. "Whoa, this is weird." She said looking back at Blitz.

"Yes, I know Daring." Blitz says removing his helmet shocking both the mare and the lord.

The mare stutters a bit. "But…how is that possible? How can there be two lords?"

The lord keeps looking until he smiles. "Then this will makes things easier getting into my palace." He said fishing around his saddlebag.

"You knew we would come, didn't you? The key every legend and text of your's keeps referring to is how, isn't it?" Blitz asks.

The lord chuckles as he tilts his head slightly. "I knew my message and eye would get out sometime, but I didn't expect a doppelganger to come also." He said taking out a collar. "Here, put this on your mare. It would say she belongs to me and no one is allowed to touch her under the penalty of death. You sure don't want the guards around to have fun, if you catch my meaning." He said showing a blue collar and a golden plate on it with an inscription.

"Daring is not my servant or my slave, the collar is just for show, but tell me, how much do you truly know?" Blitz asks.

The lord gives Daring the collar anyway and takes out another one. "So are these. But I don't want to find my mare in the guard's house on the ground and out cold. Right sweets?" He asks her.

The mare nods and smiles. "Yeah, we certainly don't want that." She said as he puts the collar on her.

The lord looks back to them. "Anyway, I need your help, even though my weapon can win the war it always come with a price like all weapons and battles does. Think you're up for it?"

"First answer my question and we shall see." Blitz says.

The lord sighs. "Okay, my information here is limited and I knew I needed help. My spies could only do so much as my army too. I needed help and I looked to the past for that. I learned that the need for numbers decreased as time went by. So I thought of leaving a message for future ponies and beings to figure out. I knew that the ones who cracked the texts and clues would be the one to help me and stay true. Still, I didn't expect a perfect replica to come as well."

"Well you know what they say, there is always someone who looks just like you." Blitz says.

The lord laughs. "Yeah." He then looks to Daring. "Why don't you place that on and follow Sheka here? She'll get you into the palace and we'll be close behind." He said motioning to the mare behind him.

"So you're Tifus?" The professor asks.

Tifus smiles. "Yes, nice to meet you griffon, but why do you have that tool?"

"Oh, I'm a professor at a university or a very big school because one has yet to be founded yet." The professor says.

Tifus just looks confused. "Okay. So how about it, want to scout the place as it is?" He asks Daring.

"Careful, Daring has some sticky hooves when it comes to artifacts and everything from this time fits the bill for her." Blitz whispers into Tifus' ear.

Tifus chuckles. "Then Sheka and Daring here will get along just nicely. Sheka has that impulse to take a sweet every now and then. Besides, don't worry about them. As long as the collars are on them the guards and others won't dare touch them. I already had that with Sheka ten times already."

"Yes, oh and get your soldiers ready to ambush the so called superior when he tries to kidnap her and forcefully take her back to the capital as his own." Blitz warns putting back on his helmet and, to Tifus' shock, disappearing completely.

Tifus narrows his eyes at where he disappeared. He then sighs and turns back to Daring. "Go on and wear it." He then looks to the professor and the other pony. "Come on. We have to go to my head guard."

Daring sighs and puts the collar on as Sheka pulls her off to the palace. "Just keep yourself looking a bit down. The guards have never seen me happy so any new collared mares have the same look to keep the look up. Tifus really treats us differently." She said blushing a bit.

"Oh he treats you really special doesn't he?" Daring asks.

Sheka nods. "Yeah, he's really sweet to me. I don't know why, but after all I have been through I don't mind."

"Oh, ho, ho, I have a few ideas why he is so sweet on you." Daring says.

"You are different from any other mare I have encounter." Sheka says.

Daring smiles. "That's because I'm not from here. In my place mares are free and able to lead lives like the males. Heck, I'm a teacher at the big school and our rulers are mares as well. In fact, now that I think about it, I think the ratio between mares and stallions is too large." Daring says thinking it over.

Sheka smiles. "Sounds great, wish I could go. But Tifus warned that we can't go with anyone who comes and help if it sounds like a good world. We belong here and not there, so we have many more things to fix soon."

"You want to know a secret?" Daring asks.

Sheka looks to her. "What is it?"

"It's not that it is a different world, we are from the future." Daring says.

Sheka nods. "I know, it just feels different."

"It's because of what work you and Tifus do and others building upon it." Daring says.

Sheka blushes a bit. "Thanks. We should get to the palace." She walking to it again.

"Actually that has me thinking, we are from the distant future and Blitz and Tifus look exactly like each other eerily so. What are the chances they are related?" Daring says thinking out loud.

Sneak shrugs. "Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. The point is, we got a better plan to work with."

"So what is your opinion on Blitz from what you learnt about him so far?" Daring asks looking at the silverish coat pegasus mare.

Sheka smiles. "Well, he's respectful. Watches out for others. Definitely doesn't want to be in the norm of things. Yet…he has the air of mystery around him."

"And he wounded that soldier to that degree for either trying to take me or threatening me." Daring said.

Sheka sighs. "Sounds like Tifus. He's almost the same."

"That's almost…wait we aren't going to start having trouble telling them apart are we?" Daring asks.

Sheka has a certain light in her eyes. "Oh, that might be fun."

"Oh we are going to get along well." Daring says mirroring her.

Sheka looks her over. "Maybe because we are around the same."

"Oh, maybe we can pull the same to them and see if they can figure it out?" Daring asks.

Sheka grins. "Maybe you and I can trade places?"

"Oh, where have you been all my life sister?" Daring asks.

Sheka giggles. "Just a jump away."


A few days later, Blitz returns with troop numbers and movement information of all the outlying forts and cities.

The professor looks over the maps. "Give me the short version." He asks as he, Aodh, and Tifus sat in the war room.

"Most of the troops are either up north holding against the gryphon 'barbarians' or south, trueing to defeat a rogue king who rebelled." Blitz says.

Tifus nods. "Yes, we are dealing with a dying nation and the griffons have been trying to take our resources without any permission so that's why we're under attack by them. Of course others would see them as barbarians because of how they fight."

"And because they are not you." Blitz adds.

Tifus sighs. "Another reason, but an ungrateful one we all have to deal with."

"So how is Daring doing?" Blitz asks.

Tifus smiles as he sips away at his drink. "Having fun, privately of course. The guards are not even use to Sheka having this much fun."

"What has she been doing?" Blitz asks.

Tifus grins. "'They've been having fun with the guards."

"Doing what specifically?" Blitz asks as he lays on a couch his eyes closed.

Tifus chuckles. "Messing with the patrols, sneaking and taking stuff without them knowing and watching their reactions, even doing stuff that 'slaves' are not supposed to do and giving the guards a chase. Surprisingly, they are able to get away."

"I see." Blitz says hearing the door open.

They look over and see Sheka and Daring come in and close the door behind them. "That was close." Daring said.

"Daring." Blitz says not getting up or opening his eyes.

Daring grins nervously as she looks over to him. "Yeah?"

"What did you do?" Blitz asks.

Daring chuckles nervously before some heavy knocks hit the door. "Get out here slaves! We know you're in there." A guard said.

Sheka quickly pulls Daring to the table before going under it and opening a secret panel and pulling themselves in before closing it again.

Blitz sighs getting up and walks over to the door before slamming it open, shocking the guards. "What is with all this racket?" Blitz asks dangerously agitated.

The guard shrinks back a little. "E…E…Excuse me, sir. We…we…are looking for the slaves."

"Well they are not here. So go look somewhere else before I decide to take all my anger out on you." Blitz says slamming the door shut in their faces.

Tifus sighs and looks down before knocking on the door. "They're gone."

"Daring. Here. Now." Blitz says laying back down.

Daring came out as she pushes her hooves together. "Hey…um…Blitz."

"You stay for a while till they stop looking." Blitz says making room.

Daring smiles and lays by him. "Sorry, but…this is the most fun I ever had."

"Yeah and you're as giddy as a schoolmare going to a dance." Blitz says removing his helmet.

Daring blushes. "Yeah…schoolmare."

Blitz then reaches up and pulls her close. "You can drop the act now." Blitz says to Sheka.

Sheka gets up from him. "Thanks for that. You've ruined it."

"I just know Daring and she is coming over to punch me for saying she's acting like a schoolmare." Blitz says.

Sheka gets up away from him and allows Daring to hit him. "So how were we?" She asks the rest.

"For me." Blitz says grabbing Daring and pulling her onto the couch with him.

Daring smiles and snuggles into him. "Probably good."

"Yeah, little schoolmare." Blitz jokes. Daring just hits him. "Oh I'm never letting that nickname for you go." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "You really should others consider feelings, but I may like that name." She whispered the last part to him.

"I know." Blitz says kissing her as everypony else was turned away.

Daring smiles as she lets go and lays her head on his chest. "Seen the weapon yet?"

"No, but I know Tifus knows where it is." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "Yeah." She then smirks and looks to him. "Like my new look?"

"Yeah, you look quite lovely." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "Thanks, so what do we do now?"

"We wait for now. That is about all we can do." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "So what do you want to do?"

"Want to disappear for a bit of us time?" Blitz asks.

Daring grins. "Would I."

"Ok, let's go." Blitz says putting on his helmet.

Daring adjusts her collar before getting off the couch and allows Blitz to get off and follows him out. Tifus just smiles as Sheka sits on his lap as they look over the maps with the professor. "What do you think?" He asks her.

"I think you worry too much." Sheka says.

Tifus chuckles and boops his nose with hers. "No, I'm not worrying enough, especially for you."

"Why don't we get a second opinion?" Sheka asks looking and finding Daring and Blitz gone.

Tifus grins. "It's a good thing I made it so that the collar allows my second in command to have the same privileges."


Blitz lays down in a tree with Daring on top of him. "Nopony will find us here." Blitz says.

Daring smiles as she leans close to him. "Good, because I want to enjoy you."

"Oh you're not already?" Blitz jokes.

Daring just rears her hoof back, ready to strike before sighing and placing it on his cheek. "Don't make me worry, okay?"

"Don't worry I won't." Blitz says.

Daring smiles and strokes his cheek. "Good because you can really make me worry when you go out."

"So tell me, how many times did you try and pull that on Tifus while I was gone?" Blitz asks.

Daring lays her head into his neck. "None, I wanted you."

"Oh, my charms completely enthralled you then?" Blitz jokes.

Daring sighs and nuzzles him. "Don't mess with it."

"Don't worry I won't." Blitz says wrapping his forehooves around her.

Daring smiles. "Thanks, now…I believe you need payment?"

"How much is on my tab this time?" Blitz asks.

Daring grins. "However much you want. I'm yours."

"I thought you were mine a long time ago." Blitz says kissing her.

Daring moans into the kiss before letting go a little. "I am, besides, want to keep this?" She asks showing her collared neck.

"Only till we are back. After all you are nopony's prize or possession." Blitz says.

Daring smirks. "But I'm yours."

"You're my mare, I neither own you nor won you." Blitz counters kissing her again.

Daring smiles as she kisses him before letting go again. "Then why the heck were you carrying that leash?"

"Ok, one of the mares who wants me is helping me get over my phobia of vampires, but after you know who, it is completely justifiable." Blitz says.

Daring raises an eyebrow. "And the leash?"

"As one of her payments, well she has a certain fetish." Blitz whispers into Daring's ear.

Daring looks to him. "BDSM?"

"I don't know the names of fetishes so maybe." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "She probably likes being hurt and abused. Is it getting easier for you to do that now that you are here?"

"Um…no." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "I can help you and it just involves us being alone together on our own time, away from everypony."

"The thing is, I'm not sure I'm ready to start doing that. I'm just getting comfortable with kissing." Blitz admits.

Daring smiles. "And were you comfortable with kissing before?"

"Yeah now, but at first I froze whenever a mare got close to me." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "And now you got a mare laying down right on you. How do you feel?"

"Exhilarated and half like I'm going to have a heart attack." Blitz says.

Daring places her hoof on his chest where his heart is and feels the heavy and fast beats. "That's just being excited and that means it's good."

"You want to know a secret?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks to him. "What?"

"You mares can scare me far more than when I was facing her." Blitz says stealing a kiss.

Daring looks a bit confused as she kissed him before she lets go again. "Her who?"

"The queen of vampires." Blitz says covering her mouth so she couldn't say the name.

Daring gets his hoof off of her. "You faced her down?"

"And destroyed the thing that finally lead to her true death. But throughout the whole thing, I was terrified." Blitz says.

Daring smiles and nuzzles his nose a bit. "You did it. You faced your fears, but it isn't about conquering it, it's facing it and finding a way through it and yet still have that fear, because that fear will also help others."

"One of the things holding me back now is considering what could happen as a result from the union you and the others want." Blitz says.

Daring tilts her head a little. "Union?"

"You know what I mean." Blitz says touching her stomach.

Daring puts her hoof over his. "It's still your choice for me. Do you want me?"

"That's not the concern that makes me hesitant. I have a tendency to overanalyze things and of where that would lead. I am a mandalorian and if I had a foal they would most likely would raise them like one." Blitz says.

Daring now looks concerned. "Can you refuse?"

"Not really, it's a part of my nature and well it can be very bloody being warriors." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "If you have foals, you don't need to worry. You are not alone in taking care of them. You would have us."

"It's a part of my nature to worry and over analyze things like this." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Then give us your worries. You are not alone in this and we want to help you. You would be very special to us and both sides would take care of each other."

"Thanks Daring." Blitz says as she encircles him with her wings.

Daring smiles and lays her head down on his chest where his heart is again and hears it calm down a little. "Do you love all of us?"

"Yes." Blitz says as he noticed a carriage being pulled along the road as he pets Daring's mane.

Daring moans a bit as she closes her eyes. "And never one more than the other?"

"That would be favoritism." Blitz says watching the carriage ride off towards Tifus' palace.

Daring nuzzles his chest. "And you would never do that, right?"

"No. Say Daring, how about we stay here for a few days and just have some us time?" Blitz asks losing sight of the carriage.

Daring looks to him as she slowly blushes a little. "By us you mean…?"

Blitz kisses her before speaking. "Just spending time together. Maybe have a few picnics, just you and me." Blitz says.

Daring slowly smiles. "I would like that. Can we do it completely alone because you are not allowed to date a slave or even kiss them unless it's for your own purpose?"

"Aren't we already?" Blitz asks.

Daring still blushes. "Using me?"

"No, completely alone." Blitz says booping her nose with his.

Daring sighs. "I meant a place where we can have fun on the ground instead of in trees most of the time."

"We could try the mountains, but I hear there is a lot of giant spiders." Blitz says.

Daring taps her chin a bit. "Maybe near that lake? I hear it actually gets pretty lonely there or do you want me and you, in our room, and have fun?"

"Not ready to go that far and lake it is then." Blitz says.


It was a few days later when Daring and Blitz were heading back when the carriage from a few days ago raced past.

Daring and Blitz watches as it goes by. "What was that about?" Daring asks.

"Sheka!" Tifus yelled as he ran past them and after the carriage, followed by several soldiers.

"There is your answer." Blitz says disappearing.

Daring sighs before racing after them as Blitz starts using his exosuit underneath to try and speed up and jump past some obstacles. "Screw this." He said before launching a grappling hook and latching onto the carriage and lands before the driver, decloaking with his claws extended and cuts off the pony's head and grabs the reins and makes the creatures pulling it slow down before stopping before disappearing again.

Some groans were heard as the carriage door opens and a fat armored pony steps out with a mare taking a step out before collapsing to the ground. "What the buck was that?" The pony asks.

Tifus, seeing this, tackles the fat pony to the ground. "How dare you!" He yells starting to punch the fat unicorn.

Sheka groans as she looks up and see Tifus hitting the pony on the ground before she tries to get up and walks to him as she limps before placing a hoof on his shoulder, making him stop hitting the now bloodied pony. "It's okay, I'm here with you, once again." She said smiling.

"Soldiers, the capital has sent us a message. They say they can take whatever they want from us to satisfy their greed in spite of the laws. What is to be next our lands, our families, our very lives?!" Tifus asks getting off the fat pony. "It is now apparent to me that we must sever all ties with the empire we love so much for it is no longer the empire our forefathers created and is just filled with evil ponies. So here now I announce our secession from the empire!" Tifus yells taking a sword out and stabbing the fat pony in the throat killing him as the soldiers cheered. He then turns to Sheka and starts cutting away at the collar on her with the dagger he took out after putting the sword down. "No more. I'm not hiding this anymore." He said cutting the collar and throwing it away onto the dead pony. He then turns back to Sheka and holds and hugs her. "I just want you and you alone, without anything standing between us."

Blitz reappeared besides Daring as they watched. "Seems we have seen everything play out." Blitz says his hoof around Daring.

Daring smiles. "Yeah, we certainly have. The big change which drives him is losing Sheka or rather almost since your intervention. The texts said he chased her down to the next empire and attacked it just to get her back and end it all."

"He knew this would happen from the start. This key of his has shown him the future." Blitz says wearily.

Daring nods. "Yeah, it almost makes you wonder what the artifact is."

Tifus lets go of the hug and looks to Sheka in the eye. "Sheka, I know you're still considered a slave by law, but I intend to change that and I have a proposition." He said taking out something from his coat pocket. "Sheka, will you marry me?" He asks showing a box with a ring in it.

"Yes." Sheka says hugging him with her wings.

"I think it is the staff of Tifus." Blitz whispers as they walk away quietly.

Daring nods. "You don't think he won just by seeing the future, do you?"

Blitz shrugs. "The one who sees the future will win the war for they know the enemy's plans, but he lost battles so the ability must not be absolute." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Maybe it just does the important ones."

"Or maybe it can only be used so many times." Blitz theorized using his claws to cut off Daring's collar.

Daring smiles as she watches him throw the collar into the forest. "So now we can have fun. I just need my hat and shirt."

"I kept them with the professor." Blitz says kissing her where her collar once was.

Daring moans a bit. "Good, because now the real war begins."

"Yeah, I think Tifus will have no trouble with it. I already gave him the keys to victory as I already sent a letter to the griffons and that rouge king telling them of the splintering the empire was having internally and if the three work together they would annihilate the empire." Blitz says kissing her there again.

"You were the one to set up the alliance that would doom the empire. What can't you do?" Daring says after moaning again.

Blitz smirks as he stops at the entrance of the town and kisses her neck before replacing his helmet. "Not be able to relay my feelings and do everything the mare wants. I have my limits."

"Oh my stallion." Daring whispers.

Blitz chuckles as they walk through town, attracting almost everypony who isn't a slave and even those who are. "Yes my mare?"

Daring pushes him away a little, but gives up as she guides him. "Ponies will see."


Blitz and Daring make it back into the palace as they waited for Tifus. "I can't believe you told the guards off when they saw a 'slave' being treated like that." Daring said as she lays her head on his lap.

"Yeah, though you're just happy to have your hat back." Blitz says.

Daring chuckles as she adjusts her hat. "Yeah, this thing is like my life."

Blitz smiles as he pets her mane. "What about me? Wasn't I your life?"

"Three seconds ago." Daring jokes.

Blitz just taps her head. "Now I feel all useless. I guess I don't need to be your bodyguard now."

"No, I got me a stallion now." Daring says smirking.

Blitz sighs. "You really like making my life difficult, don't you?"

"What gave me away?" Daring asks.

Blitz shakes his head and then just leans down and kisses her, which she gladly accepts. "My payment." He said before kissing her again.

And at the point, Aodh and the professor walked and recoiled a bit. "Geez, get a room you two." The professor said as he covers his eyes slightly.

"Shut it turkey." Daring says.

The professor looked a little offended. "Miss. Do, I thought you would be more respectful."

"She is, she just wants to go back to our time." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Since we know what happened, I'm sure we can let history run its course now."

"But how do we get back?" Blitz asks.

Daring stops and facehooves. "Dang it."

"I think I can answer that." Tifus says walking in.

Everybody looks to him. "And what's that?" Blitz asks.

"Take the item that got you here." Tifus says as Daring obeyed him and got it out before the eye started to glow golden and the outer shell split off, revealing a golden orb. "Say hello to my prize possession. Well…" He looks to Sheka who walks in wearing regular clothing now. "My third prize."

"So all this time, Daring had the artifact the lead you to victory?" Blitz asks.

Tifus sighs. "That artifact is too much for one pony. It was meant for many who understands the true nature of the world and its meaning. I already have, but I knew at this point in time, many would not understand and take it for themselves. The power to see the future and the power to control other ponies mind to the point of breaking it just by your thought alone. I had to find more ponies who understand the true meaning of my journey to this point."

"So this whole thing was not to help you, but to teach a lesson, huh?" Blitz asks.

Tifus chuckles and shrugs. "Well…I knew I would win eventually. It's just time that was a factor and you shorten it."

"So how do we get back?" Daring asks putting Blitz's helmet back on him.

Tifus smiles. "Take a look."

Daring looks to the golden orb and thinks of going home before the orb glows and then symbols started to appear in her vision with the sharp golden lines coming out of the orb. She then feels like she got sucked into the orb as it then guides her out of the palace and through the town before ending up at the temple and leaves one final symbol for her. Daring opens her eyes as the orb stops glowing and the others watch on.

Daring looks to them as she places the orb away. "We have to get back to the temple."

"Lead the way Daring." Blitz says.

Daring gets up and packs up most of her things. She then turns to Tifus and Sheka. "Thanks for allowing us to come and be here." She said, bowing slightly. The other three follow her example.

Tifus smiles. "No problem. I'm thankful I can teach you something because you can now own that golden orb and take this." Tifus says handing her a vase and some jewels.

Daring looks at the vases. "What's this?"

"Somethings I had made for you when you helped me." Tifus says.

Daring just blankly looks at him. "What is it?"

"A few things for you, since Blitz told me you love artifacts." Tifus says.

Daring takes another look at the vase and then the jewels and then smiles. "Cool, but I just need to know, what's this story about your staff?"

"Oh, easy, I put the orb into the top of it to masquerade that I created an incredibly powerful weapon when the orb is what mattered." Tifus says.

Blitz chuckles. "That's a nice way to have trickery."

"Thanks for everything again." Daring says.

"I only wish I learnt how to disappear like Blitz." Tifus says.

Blitz smiles. "You may one day, but for now, we gotta get home. Come on guys." He said walking with Daring and the others.


"That was an incredible experience." The professor says.

Aodh chuckles as he drinks some bottle of something that was here. "And they had a great selection."

"You happy what you got Daring?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "Yep, we got some artifacts and the weapons that was foretold in the legends."

"We still don't have the staff." Blitz says before they hear cackling.

Every one of them looks around. "What the heck is that?" Daring asks.

"Anypony want to bet that somepony found the staff?" Blitz asks moving towards where the cackling came from.

They all follow him as they go down a corridor and find somepony holding a staff and almost praising over it. "This will be good."

"That is the lassie who said she was your assistant." Aodh says.

They all stood behind her as she kept laughing over the staff before she stops and turns around. When she saw who was behind her she jumps back and points the staff at them. "Stay back, this has the power to decimate armies."

"Daring, can I?" Blitz asks.

Daring waves him off. "Eh, go ahead."

Blitz starts walking up to the mare. The mare responds in trying to use the staff, only nothing happened. "Wha…what the buck happened?!" She asks, shaking the staff.

"The staff itself is just a focus for something else." Blitz says knocking the staff to the feet of the professor and sticks his claws into her face. "I'll give you a choice, you did not a half bad job at planning assassinations and sabotage. So you can either agree to come work for me as an organizer and operation manager or I shank you for all you have done." Blitz says.

The mare gulps as the claws press close to her eye. "Wh…wha…what about…her?" She shakily points to Daring.

"She is my employer right now. Now choose." Blitz says.

The mare gulps again. "O…Okay."

"Good choice." Blitz says withdrawing the claws and makes her walk over to the group.

The professor scoffs as he holds the staff. "We should at least tie her up or blindfold her."

"So Aodh, you want to come work for me with your expertise with explosives?" Blitz asks.

Aodh just drinks his bottle. "As long as I get to blow shit up and have some drinks."

"Ok, your first job is get her to Equestria. After that, ask the guards where Southern Cross' base is. They will tell you where to go." Blitz says.

Aodh shrugs. "Sure. Let's just get out of here. I'm bored at this point."

"Ready Daring?" Blitz ask.

Daring nods and starts leading them to the temple before the professor blindfolds the mare and Daring takes the orb out of her bags and holds it up. They start getting close as the walls started to shift again and they see the columns collapse again and the ceiling collapses again and they see the sky which they know of as rain and fog. After that, they see the ceiling and columns repair themselves before the whole temple started to shift and then stop.

"Guys, the walls." The professor said, looking at the new carvings and inscriptions.

They all look and see the inscription detailing the rest of Tifus' story and at the end, one word was written. "Victory." Daring says.

Blitz sighs. "Let's get out of here." He said walking out with the rest of them.

After they reach the entrance of the temple, they don their coats and ready for another zombie and spider fight, but they see ponies milling about and waiting at their tents. "What the heck happened?" The professor asks as they all look around.

"Seems somepony sent a rescue team." Blitz says as he sees bodies of spiders being burned as they looked for survivors.

Daring shakes her head. "No, look." She said pointing to a pony sitting nearby. "That's the zombie pony that came up to us."

Soon the ponies at the campsite noticed them. "Hey, there they are!" One yelled.

"What heck?! Where were you?!" Another asks.

"Yeah, we've been here forever!" Another yelled.

"Well let's wrap it up then lads, we got what we came for!" Aodh yells, barely containing his happiness.

The professor looks to the rest of them as Aodh leads the mare and helps pack up the camp. "Guess this whole thing must have never happened."

"I think it is best not to think too heavily on it." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "You gotta love time travel."

"Hey Aodh, extend the offer to any who will accept it." Blitz calls.

Aodh just waves at him as he walked off. "You got it laddie."

Blitz sighs and looks to Daring. "So…want to start heading home?" Daring asks.

"I can't, I'm still 316,000 bits short of my goal. I can't head back till I accomplish this goal. So want to go ahead or would you rather come hunting with me?" Blitz asks.

Daring grins. "You kidding, you're the most fun ever. Plus, it's more time with you." She said leaning on him.

"Ok, shall we go?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods and turns to the professor. "You'll be okay, right?"

"I will be fine and I will make sure the government gets this national treasure." The professor says holding the golden staff.

Daring smiles. "You'll be okay without the orb, right?"

"The historical records never mentioned the orb." The professor says.

Daring looks back at Blitz with a smile. "Guess you got a new souvenir."

"That will never be used by me and will most likely hide it away." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "Okay, just let me come by once in a while once this whole trip is over."

"I won't refuse, besides while we are here, we are going to see everything. First stop, Prance." Blitz says.

Daring's face fell. "Oh boy."


Twilight sighs. It had been four months since Blitz had left and she was waiting for her family's reaction as she just informed them she had a special somepony.

Applejack pats her back. "It'll be alright Twi, family always love each other no matter what."

"What!" Shining Armor yells.

Twilight winces as she bends her ears back. "Yeah, I got a coltfriend."

"Who is he? Who is the pony, I am going to k…" Armor was cut off when Cadence smacked upside the head.

Cadance growls a little. "Now Shiny, little Twilight has a lover and you should respect her decision."

"At least I didn't hide it from you till close to my wedding day." Twilight says giving Armor a verbal backhoof.

Shining gaps his mouth open. "He asked for marriage?! Even when he has other mares?! Who is this stallion?!"

"He didn't, that was me commenting on how you act." Twilight says as Armor acted like he had been struck.

Cadance smiles. "Oh Twilight, you are growing up to be a wonderful mare."

"Yeah, also when you think about it. It is only natural for a stallion to take multiple mares as the current ratio is around six to seven mares for every stallion." Twilight says calmly as she take a sip of tea.

Shining growls. "It's not natural. He should just stick with one or not at all."

"Brother, brother." Twilight says in a pitting. "It is only logical. Plus it might keep him in check." Twilight says.

Shining looks confused. "Check?"

Twilight nods. "Yeah, males are made to have multiple females. It's to spread themselves quickly, but society and time and of course the politics and war made it so that it was illegal until it became the norm. Just be happy the princesses made it legal again after the ratio was discovered."

"Of course this doesn't apply to the crystal empire." Shining Armor says.

Twilight looks to Cadance. "Did you take a consensus?"

"No, technically we are not a part of Equestria, just a neighboring country. Oh, by the way, we also have done a survey and our ratio isn't nearly as bad." Cadence says

Twilight sighs. "Well, just because you live in another country or empire, doesn't mean you have to force the ideals of it to the one near or visiting."

"Well Celestia and Luna decided this after discovering the ratio was so bad and it isn't for us so it isn't necessary." Cadence says as Twilight's parents seemed to be taking it well.

Twilight looks them. "So how about you?"

"If it is as the princesses wish, I don't see a problem with it. After all they are just doing what they think is best." Night Light says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "I meant my coltfriend."

"Oh, I refrain from judging till I meet him. By the way, where is he?" Night Light asks.

"He's in the Griffon Kingdom on a business trip." Twilight says.

Velvet smiles. "Oh, he must have a good job."

"Yeah, it keeps bringing in the bits." Twilight says.

Velvet nods. "And what is that?"

"Unfortunately, I can't say as it involves government confidentiality." Twilight says smiling.

Velvet grins. "Oh he's in the government. Can you at least tell me what part it is?"

"Mostly internal affairs." Twilight says.

Velvet wiggles in her seat. "Oh, this is great. My baby in love with a true governmental official. Do you know when's he's going to propose?"

"Well that's just it, I kinda held off on telling you about him because he is very shy and a lot of times froze up from me getting close." Twilight says.

Velvet grins. "Is he handsome?"

"Well he…" Twilight was cut off when Applejack hoofs them a photo. "Here, this is him." She said giving them the photo which Velvet takes promptly.

Velvet smiles. "Oh my, my baby is getting a very good stallion."

"Yeah, the next prince of the royal family." Twilight says.

Shining growls a bit. "Not if I can get to him first."

"Cadance, did my BBBFF say something?" Twilight asks smiling sweetly.

Cadence smirks as she looks to him. "Nope, none, none at all." She said reaching behind him and pulling him close while having a strange smile. Shining Armor suddenly felt scared for his life.

"The last letter I got from him, he was in Prance working hard and wishing I was there." Twilight says. 'Along with Applejack, Fluttershy, and Minerva.' Twilight added in her thoughts.

Velvet hugs Twilight. "Oh, I'm going to love this stallion." Velvet says. Night Light nods as he looked like he thought everything over.

Twilight smiles as she hugs her mother. "Yeah, he's the greatest stallion. I just wish he was here."

Spike then burps. "Hey Twilight, you got a letter from Blitzkrieg." Spike says.

Twilight takes the letter and opens it find a photo on it. She smiles as Blitz was on there sitting in a cafe and waving at her. "Love it if you were here. In the Race Cafe in Canterlot?!" She read, yelling the last word in shock.

They rushed to her and sees the same photo. "But…how…" Shining couldn't say anymore as Twilight and Applejack rushed out the door and into the Canterlot streets.

Blitz was waiting as he drank a cup of coffee and had three slices of apple pie waiting. He was about to take another sip when he heard something as he puts down the cup. "Blitzy!" He heard two females yell before he was tackled to the ground.

"Been waiting for you girls." Blitz says.

Both mares nuzzle him. "Why didn't you tell us you were coming?" Twilight asks him as she looks up at him.

"I just got back and only had enough power of that magic powder you gave me to send one last letter." Blitz says.

Applejack laughs as she bear hugs his neck. "Aw Blitzy."

"Um…girls, the pieces of pie I ordered for you are getting cold." Blitz says.

The mares look up before getting off of Blitz and they all sat down. "So…what did you see?" Twilight asks taking a pie piece.

"Most of the Griffon Kingdom. So much history and culture. I also hired a few ponies and griffons from there to help run the base." Blitz says getting back in his chair.

Twilight eyes lit up. "Oh, did you find some artifacts?"

"Wait for Daring's next book for those answers." Blitz says, Twilight and Applejack noticing the dark bags under his eyes.

They soon got concerned. "Blitzy, how long since ya slept?" Applejack asks.

"Um…today is Thursdays so eight days." Blitz says.

Both of them facehooves. "Okay, let's go." Twilight said getting out and forcing him out of his chair.

"Pie first Twi, after that I'm heading home to sleep." Blitz says.

Applejack grabs the pie tin and his bags. "You can have it after ya slept quite enough for those bags to go away."

"I know, I just wanted to spend some time with you both before I clock out for a few days." Blitz says leaning on Twilight.

Twilight smiles as she wraps her wing around him. "We waited this long, we can afford to wait some more for our favorite stallion to be up and ready to go. Not hit his head on the table and get knocked out because he missed days of sleep."

"Ok Twilight, I'll see you after I go get some sleep." Blitz says.

They giggle as they kiss his cheeks. "Good, now let's get you home." Applejack said.

"Sorry I can't meet your family today Twilight. Minerva filled me in." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "It's fine. They would understand if you need to sleep after such a long trip."

"Yeah, have fun with your visit at least me and Jackie will head home." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Okay, bye." She said before kissing him and then walking back home.

Blitz smiles as Applejack helped him to the train station. "You've picked wonderful mares to help you out. They would go through thick and thin for you." He heard Daring say in his memory of when they took a break in a cafe.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, I sure did." He said, not noticing Applejack's look to him.

"You ok, Blitzy?" Applejack asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine Jackie, just tired." Blitz says.

Applejack nods as they into the train and she sets him down on a seat. "Rest up, I'll carry you home. And no, I can carry more than you and all this stuff." She said poking his chest.

"I want to say hi to Apple Bloom, Big Mac, and Granny before I clock out Jackie." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "All right." She said getting into the seat next to him.

"Thanks for taking me back." Blitz says resting his head on her shoulder.

Applejack just wraps a good around him. "Let's just hope you can stay awake for the entire ride."

"We shall see if that cup of coffee helped me." Blitz says smiling.

Applejack smiles and gives him a kiss before letting him rest his head on her more and looks outside.


"Cuz is back!" Apple Bloom yells as she sees Applejack enter with Blitz on her back.

"Hey Apple Bloom, sorry, he fell asleep on the train here." Applejack says.

Apple Bloom looks down. "Ah…well, maybe we can play tomorrow." She suggested.

"Maybe, but he was awake for eight days straight so I can't say how long he will be asleep." Applejack says.

Apple Bloom looks down again. "Okay." She said walking away.

"Oh, he did say he had somethin for you in this bag." Applejack says.

Apple Bloom's face lightens up. "Oh, what he get, what he get?" She asks, while hopping up and down.

Applejack went through the bag and brought out a hat in Apple Bloom's size just like hers with a pink bow tied around it. "This here is made of quality material." Applejack says.

Apple Bloom places it on and adjusts it. "Cool, can ya thank him when he wakes up?"

"Y'all can when he wakes up he isn't going anywhere." Applejack says starting to take him up the stairs. "Nowhere at all." She said to herself as she entered their room which elected a snort from him. Applejack then smiled as she puts him on her bed and kisses him before leaving him to sleep.


It was two days later in the morning when Blitz started to stir. "Ug." He says starting to move and feel somepony holding onto him. Looking over he sees Applejack holding him as she slept. "Hey Jackie." Blitz says petting her mane.

Applejack smiles as she look up at him. "Hey, how do you feel?"

"Good." Blitz says before kissing her.

Applejack moans a bit into the kiss letting go. "You don't have the mindset to fall asleep again are you?"

"Depends, you want to keep snuggling up to me?" Blitz asks.

Applejack giggles. "Blitzy, I'm serious. Are you sure you don't have to sleep anymore?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. How long was I out for?" Blitz asks.

Applejack sighs. "Two days Blitz. And I'm not the only cuddler." She said before hitting her forehoof and making an orange hologram show up around her left foreleg. After hitting a few things she brings up a screen of Twilight and Fluttershy with Minerva at the bottom. "He's awake girls. Let's head to the Darkstar and show him the new and improved version."

"I see Minerva has been teaching you about my tech." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles. "They are coming along with you. Don't worry, I'm using the nonsurgical version."

"Just tell me you have not been teaching them about the hyper drive." Blitz says.

Minerva looks offended. "Well I never, what do you think of me, a slutly mare who gives everything?"

"Minerva, you are not the Darkstar One. You are my copilot." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs. "No, I didn't."

"Good, you know how temperamental those are. Last thing I want is to have to work on it for a few days unless necessary." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "I'll see what upgrades and repairs we can do. Give me time and when you come over, I'll have a list." She said bringing up a screen in front of her.

"Minerva, save that for later. We aren't leaving for a while." Blitz says.

They all look to him. "What do you mean, don't you want all of us to be there?" Twilight asks.

"I mean we are staying for a good while Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles as does everypony else. "Want to head to the Darkstar and take a look at what we did?" Fluttershy asks.

"Sure. I need to stretch my legs anyways." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Okay, we'll be there." She said before logging off.

Fluttershy claps her hooves together. "Oh boy, my master is coming back." She said as she grabs her collar and leash and logs off.

"Should I ask about Fluttershy?" Blitz asks.

Minerva and Applejack giggles. "Just that she wants to see her master again, especially taking her out to show she's yours. She's really been antsy." Minerva said.

"Oh boy." Blitz says before getting up as Applejack joins him.

Applejack smiles. "Alright Minerva, we'll be there." She said before hitting a few things and turning off the orange hologram. "Want to grab something to eat and talk to Apple Bloom?"

"Sure." Blitz says grabbing her hat with his magic and placing it on her desk as she starts brushing her mane and tail.

Applejack sighs as she watches him in the mirror. He then walks over to her before moving her mane slightly and kisses her neck which makes her freeze up a little.

"I think I'm better now. What do you think Jackie?" Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles as she keeps looking at him in the mirror. "You're doing great, but can show Fluttershy around town while she's tied up to you? That's the real test."

"Um….I don't think I will ever reach that level." Blitz says sweat dropping.

Applejack pokes him. "Well you need to learn now. She's too antsy and restless. You need to take her out and maybe face your fears at the same time."

"Applejack, there is something else I want to talk to you about." Blitz says.

Applejack looks to him. "What is it?"

"If we do start doing that there is a chance of you well…" Blitz trails off.

Applejack narrows her eyes. "Well what?"

"You might bare a foal and I'm not exactly sure I'm qualified to raise one." Blitz says.

Applejack softens her gaze and hugs him. "It's okay Blitz, you're not in this alone. You got me, Twilight, Fluttershy and maybe Minerva will find a way to help you."

"This is the main reason I have been so reluctant to do it Jackie." Blitz says letting her continue to hug him.

Applejack nuzzles him. "In bed or taking Fluttershy out?"

"In bed, as for taking her out, well I just don't think I could do what she wants even if she is willing." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "Did you ever had to do something like when you were in the griffon kingdom?"

"Only out of necessity and I hated myself every second for it." Blitz says.

Applejack looks at him. "Look Blitzy, ponies here would understand. Sure there are a few radicals, I think they're called, anyway, you can do it. If you can do what Fluttershy asks for, then you could possibly do almost anything in a relationship."

"I'm unsure Jackie." Blitz says leaning into her.

Applejack hugs him tightly. "What if me and Twilight went with you guys?"

"It just hurts my soul Jackie to do that to another innocent creature." Blitz says.

Applejack giggles. "Fluttershy isn't so innocent now."

"Innocent enough." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Just do it in public. If anything goes wrong me and Twilight will pull you out."

"If I am to do this, I want set down rules with Fluttershy." Blitz says.

Applejack grins. "And what are they?"

"I will discuss that with Fluttershy." Blitz says putting Applejack's hat on her.

Applejack smiles as she adjusts her hat. "Let's go, Apple Bloom has been worrying about you." She said walking away.

"Ok." Blitz says smiling.


"That is why he is so reluctant?" Twilight asks Applejack.

Applejack sighs as she leans back in the seat on the Darkstar One. "Yep."

"Well it does explain a few things." Fluttershy says.

Applejack sighs. "We need to help him here. He's really worried about himself. He thinks he has to raise themselves and his lifestyle might harm them. That's the main thing about it."

"I'll go talk to him and distract him while you three try and think of something." Fluttershy says getting up.

Minerva looks to them. "What are we going to do?"

Fluttershy sighs as she walks into her room and finds Blitz. "Like my room?" She asks looking at the simple room.

"I was expecting a few different things." Blitz says as Fluttershy starts to go full vampire.

Fluttershy sighs and hugs him and when he leans his head into her neck she presses a few buttons on her hologram leg and changes the room. "Take a look now." She said letting go.

"Ok, much more like I was expecting." Blitz says looking at the room.

Fluttershy smirks as she gives her leash. "So, want take me for a walk?"

"I have a few conditions if we are going to do this in public." Blitz says.

Fluttershy taps her hooves together. "Sure, what is it?"

"Well I want to be unrecognizable to the populace so when we spend time together in public we can do it without being harassed by them and it has to be in the evening when you really shine." Blitz says.

Fluttershy blushes a little. "Thanks…master."

"Please, when we are together its Blitz." Blitz says before kissing her.

Fluttershy moans as she was kissed before he lets go. "How about master because calling you Blitz kinda destroys the idea of being hidden?"

"Ok, in private you call me Blitz and in public on your walks you call me master. Sounds fair?" Blitz ask petting her.

Fluttershy moans as she closes her eyes and enjoys the feeling. "Yes…master, but you need to treat me like a pet or just lesser than a regular pet."

"I'm not there yet Fluttershy. Let's take small steps." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods. "We can eventually do it…right?"

"Yeah, I think so." Blitz says.

Fluttershy gives her leash to him. "Let's go."

"Um…Fluttershy, do you remember my conditions?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy smirks as she turns to the room. "Why not use me here to pass the time then?"

"Y…you're going to have to show me how." Blitz says.

Fluttershy leads him over to a pillory and opens it. "Put me in here and lock it up and then use whatever is on the table there on me." She said pointing to the tools and toys on the table nearby.

"Um…since this is a lesson, could you walk me through it?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy sighs and places her hooves and head on the pillory. "Just close it and lock it up."

"Ok." Blitz says following her orders.


Fluttershy moans heavily as she leans against Blitz after their sessions and ended up with a few bruises on her. "Did you like it?" She asks breathlessly.

"It was different." Blitz says as he stroked her mane.

Fluttershy leans into his hoof. "So do you want to try more soon?"

"We shall see, after all I figured out you were distracting me as the others talked." Blitz says kissing her nose.

Fluttershy moans a bit. "How could I not please my master? It's my job."

"Yes and what are your thoughts on it now that you know." Blitz says kissing her neck.

Fluttershy moans some more. "Know what?"

"About my reluctance to sleep with another." Blitz says.

Fluttershy sighs. "Blitz, you are not alone in this. You have us and lots of friends. If you have a foal with us. We will all help you. You don't have to be alone, not now, not again."

"I see, it's just I'm unsure of myself." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "What potential father wouldn't?"

"You are starting to sound like a wife to me." Blitz says stroking her bat wings.

Fluttershy shrieks a bit before falling into moans. "I can be anything for you and all you have to do is use me however you want."

"Ok Fluttershy." Blitz says.

Fluttershy soon calms down and looks outside. "It's almost night. There should be some ponies still about. Want to head out?"

"Let us see what the others have to say." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles and gives him the leash. "Let's go." She said heading out with him.

"So girls, think of anything?" Blitz asks as they enter the room.

Twilight looks to him. "Which one, you or your walk?"

"The latter." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "We'll be watching from a bit away, making sure nothing bad happens. Now remember, the thing you have to do is treat less like a pet and call her something else other than her name or even the word pet itself."

"And the former?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles carefully. "We'll be here for Blitz. You have us and you don't need to worry about raising them on your own. Just remember that we're here as well and don't be afraid to ask us for anything."

"Ok, so Minerva, how has Lightning Dust been doing?" Blitz asks.

Minerva smiles. "She just got her first paycheck and enjoying some fun. She really did a great job catching the bounties."

"And Terran?" Blitz asks.

All the mares smile. "Wondering where you were." They said.

"Oh, he not having fun?" Blitz asks smirking.

Minerva laughs. "If you call just lazing around and the occasional bites, then yes."

"That is why we let him out into the forest every once in a while." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "You better get out there, more and more ponies will be off the streets soon."

"Ok, ok." Blitz says going to his room.

Fluttershy smiles as he goes away. "Can you girls watch out of the stallion who came from out of town? I hear he's a little old fashion."

"Don't worry, I'm sure we can….why do I suddenly have a cold chill running up my spine?" Twilight asks as a pony in a black robe appeared behind her.

"Twilight Sparkle, I have come for thee." An almost other worldly voice says.

Twilight sighs and turns around. "Blitz, don't mess with us like that. It almost made us hit you."

"Oh, what gave me away?" Blitz asks lowering the hood.

Twilight frowns. "That fact that you are the only one around here who acts all mysterious in the area."

"I was trying to pull off the grim reaper there." Blitz says starting to get an idea for nightmare night.

Fluttershy sighs. "Can we go now? I really want to be humiliated."

"Ok, ok, but you girls got to help me with the routine come nightmare night." Blitz says pulling the hood back up and they were not able to see inside the hood for some reason.

Twilight reaches inside and touches his snout. "How…?"

"Cloaking tech, only on one area." Blitz says before kissing her nose.

Twilight smiles and pushes him to Fluttershy. "Now get out there."

"Ok, one last thing." Blitz says pressing a button that activates the transmitter on Fluttershy which produces an image over her that makes her look much more demonic and a different color. "What do you think?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy gasps with happiness and hugs Blitz. "Thank you master."

"Now she looks like some cross between a Werewolf and a Vampire." Applejack says.

Fluttershy looks giddy as she can't contain herself. "This is will so amazing. Let's go."

"Girls, don't be surprised if this creates a new myth." Blitz says as he lets Fluttershy lead him.

Twilight smiles as they go out before she turns to Minerva. "You got any more invisibility suits or even to watch the area?"

"Why do that when the probes can give us a show from multiple angles." Minerva says smiling as she sits down on the couch and turns on a screen showing Blitz and Fluttershy walking into town.

Applejack smiles as she sits down with her. "This will be fun, ya recording?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Minerva asks.


Blitz sighs as he sits down at a table in a cafe while Fluttershy sits down on the ground near him. "Okay, just give me the coffee and give her just a doggy bowl of just lettuce." Blitz says in the eerily tone from the voice manipulator. The town's ponies were now hiding in fear from the two. Blitz sighs as the waiter tries to fill his order.

Fluttershy shuffles a bit. "Master I…ow!"

Blitz slaps her, shutting her up. "Quiet now. How long would this take?" He asks the waiter.

The waiter had fainted in fear from him. Blitz groans. "Maybe I went too far with the disguises." He said.

"Come on master." Fluttershy says getting on him.

Blitz throws her off and pulls the leash. "No, you come on." He said pulling her along and heading out of the cafe.

Fluttershy walks along, all the while smiling at the act Blitz was putting up.

Blitz sighs as he stops in front of a building that had Vinyl playing inside and the sounds like the show started. "I wonder." He turns to Fluttershy. "Have you been with too many ponies at once?"

"No master. I haven't been with a stallion yet." Fluttershy says.

Blitz tugs the leash hard and makes Fluttershy moves to his flank and makes her hang onto his leg. "Maybe one day you would get that. However, I want you alone and make you mine forever. Now let's see how others would like this." He said pulling her inside as she whimpers from the pulling.

A few moments after they entered, screams were heard, followed by the running of several ponies out the back exit. Blitz lets a smile come to his lips as he watches the ponies cower in fear. "Carry on. I came for the music and don't worry this thing won't bite. However, you can use her to some extent." He said moving to a circular table at the wall and takes a seat while Fluttershy lays down nearby.

"Dude, that thing is awesome! But ask for music and you shall receive." Vinyl calls before hitting the music on again.

Blitz smiles as most of the ponies tries to ignore them and lucky they did fast as most were teenagers as they tried to concentrate on the music, but some stallions decided to come by. "Can I help you?" He said trying the cheap drink he grabbed from the concession table.

The stallions watch Fluttershy carefully as she scratches her ear with her hindleg. "Is that…thing yours?" One stallion asks.

Blitz nods. "Yep, it's mine to do as I please." 'Come on, you can do it. For her.'

The stallions keeps watching Fluttershy as she keeps looking around, but keeps looking mostly at the stallions at certain area. "What's up with it?" One asks, seeing the eyes move on them.

"Oh, it's just looking for an unrepentant soul to devour." Blitz says.

The stallions steps back a little and when Fluttershy lunges at them or tries to as her leash was tied heavily on Blitz do they run away into the crowd. "Fluttershy, you really want something, don't you?" He asks, knowing only Fluttershy could hear him over the music.

Fluttershy looks back with a knowing grin and lays her head on him.

Blitz sighs and places his hoof on her before bringing her in closer to his groin, starting to suffocate her. "You will get this one day, but for now, it's just for me. Got that?" He asks, pulling her head back to allow her to breath.

Fluttershy gasps a little as she gets her breathing back. "Yes, master."

"Good girl, now we leave." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods as she was pulled hard outside and into the square center of town. "Okay, now stay here. I'm going to get us something." He said tying her to a bench and heading to a stall packing up some things.

Fluttershy nods as she sits down and sees him scare the stall vender a bit as he tries to fill his order. "A slave, huh?" A voice asks. Fluttershy growls as she turns around to face the pony who had said that.

The stallion chuckles as she growls. "Come on, you got tied up and under control. You know, I can use a good female like you."

Fluttershy's holographic fur stands on end like her mood.

The stallion grins. "Won't work animal." He said harshly. "I can own you." He said walking over to the bench where her leash was tied.

Before he could grab, it a hoof grabs his leg and twists it until it snapped. "YEOW!" The stallion yells in pain as he recoils back. "What the fuck?!" He then looks into the hood and sees no head. "What the fuck are you?" He asks in disbelief.

Blitz just hits him in the stomach and sends him down and grabs Fluttershy's leash and walks away. "Are you okay?" He asks after a while.

"Yes master." Fluttershy says.

"Ok, let's go, but first." Blitz says before he grabs her collar and pulls her into an alley and pushes her against a wall. "You sure you're okay Fluttershy?" He asks quietly, looking her over.

"Yes, my master and love." Fluttershy says kissing his nose.

Blitz smiles before kissing her as well before he lets go. "So, what do you want to do now? It is getting a bit late." He asks running his hooves over her sides.

"Let's get back love." Fluttershy says as they both disappear.


Twilight looks carefully at the screen. "Where did they go?" She asks after they disappeared and cycling through the screens.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Blitz voice asks as Twilight feels her wings being stroked.

Twilight gulps and blushes a little. "Blitz…I…"

Blitz smirks. "Spying on me and my animal, you peeping tom? You dirty alicorn you." He said moving to the base of her wings.

"B…Blitz, please, not there." Twilight says trying not to moan.

Blitz smiles and keeps going. "Why should I? You spied on us when you knew you shouldn't. You had to watch out from the sidelines and make sure nothing went wrong, but what do I find? You recording everything me and my animal possibly did. You're a bad alicorn and a possible terrible liar, so don't deny it." He said reaching the base and starts stroking there.

"B…Blitz, please." Twilight struggles.

"Oh my little alicorn, you are so bad, I think you need some attention." Blitz says starting to kiss her.

Twilight twitches a little as she leans more into him. "Blitz…" She said as Blitz slowly grabs her wing and kisses along it and moves to her neck. "Blitz…"

Blitz sighs into her neck as he wraps a leg around her and pushes her away a little and sits behind her before making her sit on his lap. "You got anything to say for yourself?" He asks while messing with her neck.

"I love you." Twilight manages to say through her moaning.

Blitz grins. "Good." He said stopping his attention on her. "Now come with me." He said letting her off and walking away. Twilight shakes herself a bit before following close behind. Blitz smiles as he takes off his cloak and puts it away while Twilight enters the room. "Get on the bed. I'll be back soon." He said entering the bathroom.

Twilight complies as she waits for him. After a while, Blitz comes out and lays down with her and has her rest on him. "So did you enjoy the show?" He asks wrapping his hooves around her.

Twilight sighs as she rests her head on his chest. "Kinda good. Could have been better."

"Maybe, but tell me Twi, are you really sure you want this?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks up at him. "What's making you doubt this now? I do want to be with you. You're important to me."

"With everything? You know how dangerous my life can be." Blitz says.

Twilight lightly smiles. "I get into dangerous situations a lot. Yours will probably be no different, maybe a few things will be bad for me, but I can take it. Don't you love me?"

"Ok then. I'm willing to take it to the next level if you are?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks surprised at him. "By next level, do you mean…" She asks pushing her hooves together.

"Only if you are." He whispered into her ear.

Twilight keeps staring into space as she lays down again. "Not yet…just…until its official for us. Can we do that?"

"If that's what you want." Blitz says before kissing her.

Twilight moans slightly as he lets go. "What about Applejack and Fluttershy?"

"Will talk to them in a moment. I'll see you later beautiful." Blitz says.

Twilight blushes. "Can I stay here for the night?"

"Sure." Blitz says getting up.

Twilight sighs as she watches moves the covers around her and heads out. "Good night sweets." He said.

Twilight smiles and closes her eyes. "Night."

Blitz closes the door behind him and checks in on Fluttershy rearrange her tools that messed up after their session. "Hey."

"Master, why are you back, for round two?" Fluttershy asks.

"Not tonight Fluttershy, but we may start taking things to the next level." Blitz says.

Fluttershy keeps looking to him. "And by that you mean marriage, which could mean you want to marry all of us?"

"Yeah, that's is what the princesses decreed." Blitz says running his hoof along her back.

Fluttershy moans as she allows more room for him to run across. "Which means we are leaving soon, right?"

"No, we are staying around for a while, my maiden of the night." Blitz says slapping her plot before grabbing her by her mane and kissing her neck hard and then hitting her face before throwing her away and into her pet bed. He smiles as he walks away while Fluttershy moans in bliss from the pain.

Blitz sighs as he walks to Applejack's room. "That's going to need getting use to." He said before he walks into Applejack's room. "Jackie, you here?" He asks looking among the mini forest in the room.

Blitz was answered by a lasso catching him and pulling him in further. "This answered that question?" Applejack asks as she pulls him to the bed on the side.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, listen, I'm ready to take things a step further, if you are of course."

"Tonight?" Applejack asks petting his mane.

Blitz shakes his head. "No, marriage."

"I'm up for it Blitzy." Applejack says smiling.

Blitz smiles. "Good, Twilight wants to marry me as well and Fluttershy will always follow her master. That just leaves Minerva."

"Oh I also have a list for you." Applejack says.

Blitz looks to her. "What is it?"

"You shall see. Also, Minerva has letter for you from the Wonderbolts." Applejack says finishing hogtieing him.

Blitz smiles. "That's good, can you let me go?"

"Nope, family tradition, the mares always drag their future husbands back home hogtied before marrying them." Applejack says kissing his nose before putting him on her back.

Blitz looks a bit worried. "Jackie, I have to speak to Minerva about something too. Can you at least drop me at her?"

"Oh I have been listening in the whole time." Minerva says, her hologram appearing before him.

Blitz sighs. "First, what's the letter about?"

"Well, Spitfire wants your assistance in teaching self-defense to a few cadets for starters, she also wants to discuss something with you in greater detail. While you do this, I will converse with the others about what you asked me to as mare talk." Minerva says.

Blitz nods. "Good, also Minerva? Um…?"

Minerva leans in. "Yes?"

Blitz sighs. "Will you marry me?"

"Why Blitzy, I thought we already did that." Minerva says smirking.

Blitz smiles. "Not officially and not in the way that's considered official so, will you?"

"Oh Blitzy, Blitzy, you know better than to ask me. I was yours from the start." Minerva says.

Blitz grins. "Yeah, you are, but…you know what, forget it. Let's go Jackie."

"See you soon Blitzy." Minerva calls.

Blitz chuckles. "And hope that Big Mac doesn't kill me."

"Oh, he has known this will happen for a while." Applejack says.

Blitz frowns. "Jackie, who else…?" He couldn't say anymore as they stepped out and Minerva just watches with a smile. "Me marrying him?" She looks to her offline body. "Possible and not impossible."

Blitz watches as Big Mac picks up the shovel before shaking his head and picking up a hoe. "You know the best one is a pickaxe." Blitz offered. Big Mac just picked up an axe. "That works too." Blitz said, now sweating.

"Back off Big Macintosh." Applejack says glaring at her brother.

Big Mac glares once at Blitz before throwing the axe over his shoulder and walking away. "Is he always this protective?" Blitz asks, eyeing the axe now in between his legs.

"Sometimes." Applejack says starting to undo the rope.

Blitz groans as he carefully moves away from the axe. "Is your family really okay with marrying me and going away from a possible long time?" He asks, checking to make sure nothing was missing.

"The former, yes, as far as I'm concerned. The latter, the same with my adventures with Princess Twilight." Applejack says.

Blitz nods. "Good, want to head to bed since we got some big days ahead of us?"

"Don't worry, you will be getting enough rest." Applejack says finishing untying him.

Blitz sighs in relief as he steps out. "Good, I'm still a bit tired."

"Don't worry, I will keep you safe and make sure you get rest." Applejack says walking with him.

Blitz smiles as he looks to her. "Thanks and you mares are going to be looking out for each other, right?"

"Oh yeah." Applejack says entering her room.

Blitz groans as he takes off his clothes before getting into bed. "Night Jackie."

"Night love." Applejack says putting her hat aside and getting in with him.

Blitz smiles as she wraps a hoof around him. "You know, the one thing I didn't expect when I was coming back here, was falling in love with my cousin, a princess and a vampire which I fear. But…all of you made it possible and I don't regret it."

"We are only getting started." Applejack says.

Blitz nods. "Yeah, we still got the stars to explore together."

'I'll tell him later.' Applejack thinks.

Blitz sighs and falls into snores and Applejack follows suit.


Blitz smiles as he sat at the cafe who was strangely working a bit watchful of something, which he knew what or rather who it was, with his four mares. "So what's this about?" He asks since Applejack said to meet them all later here.

"Well, you see, there is something about the latest edict that you don't know." Twilight says chuckling nervously.

Blitz looks to her. "Latest edict?"

"About allowing stallions to marry multiple mares. You see, any stallion who isn't married is kind of up for grabs." Twilight says chuckling nervously again.

Blitz looks confused. "How does this involve to me?"

"You were unmarried before the edict and as such…" Applejack trails off.

"You aren't saying that…" Blitz stops.

Fluttershy nods. "Yes, you have to watch out for more mares coming in."

"Can I get some protection or immunity against this?" Blitz asks.

"Well Luna did send out a condition to it, where as long as a stallion is on a job, they can't be grabbed and the mare has to drag them to a government office to make it official." Twilight says.

Blitz nods. "Does it have to be Equestrian?"

"Yes and you are technically a resident, seeing as you are a part of the apple family." Applejack says.

Blitz nods. "Good, but what's the limit?"

"I think about seven or eight times at most." Twilight says.

Blitz presses his lips together. "Don't I have a say in anything?"

"Yes, if you can escape or avoid getting caught." Twilight says.

Blitz sighs. "So what about us?"

"Well, we already planned to marry, so we are going to do a wedding and Twi is a representative of the government who can verify it, so be careful there." Applejack says.

Blitz groans as he facehooves. "I now hate my life."

"Yeah, so you best watch y'all self. One piece of good news for ya though, it doesn't start until the end of the month in five days." Applejack says.

"Be thankful Luna added all these restrictions as I'm sad to say Celestia got a little drunk when doing this edict. For all we know, it could have been a joke that was never meant to be made public." Twilight says.

Blitz sighs. "So…who wants to spend time with me now?"

"You can't, I booked you to meet Spitfire at the Wonderbolt's academy to help teach the cadets before this whole thing starts." Minerva says walking up with a schedule.

Blitz groans. "Alright, I need help getting there though."

"I prepared your black aerial armor for this job." Minerva says hoofing him a suitcase.

"Why do I feel like I just lost control of my life?" Blitz asks.

The mares hugs him. "Because you choose us." They said.

"I guess I did. I will see you girls soon and tell the CMC that Minerva scheduled this for me." Blitz requests.

They nod as he gets up and takes one last sip. "See ya." He said before walking away to behind a building.

Twilight smiles. "We need to get him and fast." She said after sipping her tea and getting a serious expression.

"You are the legal representative." Fluttershy says.

Twilight nods. "Yes, but Blitz is not and I have to mostly agree to other mares getting Blitz. We have to announce it and fast."

"I can't be included as I'm not legal here." Minerva says.

Twilight smirks. "Yes and the papers in my library says that you don't exist. Don't play with me. I'm already hurrying the process of approving it and marking you as a citizen."

"Maybe we should look to other mares. Maybe Daring Do for one." Minerva suggests.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, she should be at the university right now, but maybe you should have a drone watching him for any other mare."

"Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie." Minerva says reading off something.

The mares look at where the other mane six were enjoying some sweets. "We'll talk to them later. Right now we have to deal those that we know are in love with Blitz. Also Fluttershy, how is your injuries coming along?" She asks eyeing the bruises and red lines.

"Huh, what, no, I was checking a preliminary list of who to send wedding invitations." Minerva says.

Twilight smiles. "Then it's a good thing I said something has somewhat of a double meaning. Now Fluttershy, your injuries?"

"Oh they are perfectly fine. Blitz doesn't have the heart to really hurt me." Fluttershy says smiling.

"What, speaking of Dash, wasn't she called back to the academy for a few courses?" Applejack asks.

They look to each other. "Oh boy."

"We sure we don't to add Rainbow?" Fluttershy asks.

Twilight and Applejack look to each other. "You think Rainbow really likes him?" Applejack asks.

"Well, I'm not supposed to say this, but she did have a major crush on Southern Cross after he saved the Wonderbolts and starred in Daring's book." Fluttershy whispers.

Twilight sighs. "She does realize that Cross and Blitz is the same right?" She whispered.

"Yes, she knows full well. She was there when we saw him fight Bloody Mary." Fluttershy says.

Twilight takes a big drink. "And Pinkie and Rarity?"

"I'm unsure about those two." Fluttershy says.

Applejack sighs. "So we may have one more and then Daring, any other we should know of?"

"I can have them help with that and then give them a bonus…" Minerva says lost in doing the booking.

"I don't think you will get through to her right now." Twilight says.

The mares smile. "So what now?" Fluttershy asks.

"Well there is that pie still in the Darkstar One's fridge." Applejack says.

Twilight smiles. "And I got the footage from last night. Want to see what you look like in acting Fluttershy?"

"Oh this should be good." Fluttershy says smiling.


"Listen to me cadets, we have called into a specialist to whip your combat capabilities into shape. You will listen to everything he says and you won't embarrass the Wonderbolts, do you understand me!?" Spitfire yells going drill sergeant on them.

They all nod as Blitz steps out from the building. "Okay, let's get this party started. Welcome to pain cadets." He said in his somewhat creepy and happy voice.

"Wait, isn't that Southern Cross?" One whispers.

"I heard that maggot, drop and give me fifty wing ups, now!" Blitz yells in his face.

The cadet immediately drops down as Blitz looks over the rest of the cadets. "This is what the academy has to offer, unbelievable they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for me. Now then…" He stops as he sees Rainbow flying in and talking to Spitfire. 'Shit.'

"Cadet, you are late! What held you up!?" Blitz yells to the latest arrival to keep up appearances.

Rainbow looks to him. "Hey listen, I just came by to give Spitfire here my course papers. I already finished them and I didn't sign up for this sad sacks, offense needed." She said, motioning to the cadets lined.

"Oh, somepony who finished the course, huh? Well you won't mind assisting me in a demonstration then." Blitz says.

Rainbow shrugs. "Sure, why not?" She said going over to him.

"Ok, I want you try and hit me when I tell you." Blitz says.

Rainbow nods. "Sure boss." She said watching him.

"Now cadets, watch carefully. I will be demonstrating how to defend against a punch." Blitz says nodding to Rainbow.

Rainbow sighs and gives him a regular punch which he counters by grabbing by the side of her leg and pushing it away and giving one of his own and getting it close to her face.

"You see how easy it is to counter a punch?" Blitz asks. The cadets all nod as Blitz let's go of Rainbow. "Okay, now it's time for the kick." He said before nodding to Rainbow.

Rainbow tilts her head as she studies him before sweeping her leg to him and he catches it guides it over him and then pushes it away which makes Rainbow go unbalanced and sends her to the ground.

"As you see, the kick was also easily countered and can be used to unbalance the one who throws it." Blitz says before jumping over the surprise leg sweep Rainbow tries.

Blitz grins as he turns to Rainbow. "And this is where the real fight begins." He said before Rainbow runs in and tries to punch him which he counted, but Rainbow reacted a bit faster and turns inward to where he caught her and turns around completely and lands against his chest with her backside and hits him upside the head before hitting him in the stomach and leg joint before jumping away.

"How's that?" Rainbow asks, regaining her lost breath.

"Not half bad, but let's see if you can counter this." Blitz says rushing forwards and evades her punch and grabs it with his hoof locking hers in place and making him stand parallel with him on two hooves then slams his other one into her chest causing her to collapse onto the ground. "Right, you have just witnessed a takedown that knocks ponies unconscious. She will reawaken in a few moments." Blitz says.

Rainbow groans as she gets back up. "Dang, that hurt." She said, feeling around her chest.

"Ah good, you're awake. Now please tell the cadets what rank you are in the martial arts." Blitz says.

Rainbow tries and stretches. "Black belt. Ow." She said holding her chest again and stopping her stretching.

"You see how devastating that move is? I will be teaching each one of you how to do this." Blitz says.

Rainbow groans as she walks away. "You're welcome for the demonstration." She said, still holding her chest. "What the buck is going on?" She asks herself still feeling her chest before her hoof goes down on a rib bone more than it allows. "Uh oh."

"Right, now a second thing you all should know is never apply too much pressure right after having it used on you for your body is still reeling and it actually makes your ribs bend more than they should and when it wears off they will step back into place, a little painfully." Blitz goes on to instruct causing Rainbow eyes to widen. "Also, do not go flying right afterwards either, as it also messes with your balance." Blitz says.

Rainbow sighs as she heads over to the launch area and lays down. "Great. Disabled by my hero, well, there goes my second tick on the wall."

"Now, I want you all to start doing pushups and no, I don't mean wing ups, you will be building muscles in your hooves, you will not stop till I say so or you collapse, do you understand me?!" Blitz yells.

The cadets nods as they start getting down and doing pushups while Blitz goes over to Rainbow. "You okay?"

Rainbow just stares ahead. "How long does it take?"

"Average, two to three minutes. I suggest biting down on something to not bite your tongue. I know from first hoof experience how painful that is." Blitz says.

Rainbow sighs and looks to him. "Blitz, why are you really here?"

"Minerva booked me to help the Wonderbolts woop their cadets into shape in protecting themselves on Spitfire's personal request and I owe her for borrowing Fleetfoot to help oversee the reconstruction of her hometown where my base went. Sorry I went so rough on you, it is how I was trained." Blitz says.

Rainbow sighs. "It's okay. As long I can still fly."

"You will and bite down on this." Blitz says putting a metal rod in front her.

Rainbow snorts before taking the rod in her teeth and setting it into place. "So what, OW!" She yells as she grits through the pain and starts to hold her chest.

"It will last only for a few moments, but no permanent damage is done." Blitz says.

Rainbow keeps squirming, her teeth digging into the rod, until she stops completely and lets the bar roll out of her mouth.

"Getting up and walking around helps stop the throbbing." Blitz says lending a hoof for she could get up.

Rainbow shakily breathes as she takes the hoof and stands up before leaning on him. "Ow." She said simply.

"Ok, let's take a short walk." Blitz says as he leads her on a lap around the landing strip.

Rainbow sighs as she just watches the ground pass by. "Blitz, when are you planning to leave?"

"Not for a good while. Why, you got ideas?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow nods. "Yeah, want to get together sometime?"

"Sure, but after this job I'm going to try and disappear for about a month." Blitz says.

"Ah, heard about the new edict?" Rainbow asks.

"Yes." Blitz says.

Rainbow smiles as she looks to him. "Want me to help lighten the load on that?"

"What you thinkin…?" Blitz stops as he eyed her carefully.

Rainbow blushes a little. "I can, you know, help clear the amount that is allowed so there are less mares to deal with."

Blitz starts chuckling nervously as he discreetly tries and creates distance, but Rainbow would have none of that as she still leaned on him.

Rainbow looks down a little. "Look Blitz, we're good friends and I would never leave friends hanging like that. If it makes things easier for you, just say it and I'll be there."

"You know what you are suggesting right?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow nods. "Yeah, I do. And it should be with those you really trust and I trust you the most Blitz."

"Wha…what about Soarin, I thought you had a thing for him?" Blitz says, glad nopony was near enough to eavesdrop.

Rainbow sighs and looks over to Soarin with the rest of the male Wonderbolts. "Watch." She said as they stop and see a mare walk up to Soarin and the rest before they nod and lead her away. "He kinda runs this whole thing of banging each mare that asks them to. I don't want to be dating a stallion who is willing to share me when I don't ask for it, besides, that's a gangrape waiting to happen." Rainbow said continuing their walk. "The only one is respectable is you Blitz."

"Well, I guess, but you have to talk to Twi and the others." Blitz says.

Rainbow sighs. "Yeah, I may have to. After all, she's running the show. Okay, I'm good now." She said and stops leaning against him. "I'll see you for that date, okay?" She winks at him.

"Um sure." Blitz says walking back to the cadets who were still doing pushups. "You can stop now maggots." Blitz says.

Rainbow smiles as she flies away, back Ponyville. "Rainbow Apple. Nah, needs work."

Later that day, as the sun sets, the cadets were barely standing. "Alright, that's enough for today. Hit the showers, all of you." Blitz says to the relief of the cadets. "We will pick back up tomorrow morning." Blitz adds as Soarin came up and whispered Spitfire wants to see him in her office.

Blitz nods and heads to her office door. "Spitfire?"

"Oh yes, Southern Cross, come in." Spitfire says.

Blitz steps in and finds Spitfire at her desk, almost waiting for him. "You wanted to see me?"

"Yes, I wanted to talk." Spitfire says taking off her glasses.

Blitz sighs and sits down. "So what do you need?"

"I wanted to say you are really pushing the cadets out there, which isn't a bad thing and well…I want to get to know you better." Spitfire says.

Blitz shrugs. "All ears here."

"Well…" Spitfire begins the conversation.


"Oh that's nothing. I heard a rumor that the reason I was featured on that Daring Do novel is because I'm really a mare and I have a lesbian relationship with the writer." Blitz says before he and Spitfire starts laughing.

Spitfire calms down and looks at him. "You really have the most amazing life, you know that?"

"I'm not so sure of that." Blitz says.

Spitfire smiles. "Come on, I'm sure that you got to go on great adventures and cool mission while seeing great places. I wonder how it is out past the borders for real."

"Yeah, I know the feeling. For the first few years I was confined to an area for my job." Blitz says.

Spitfire leans back in her seat. "And how was that?"

"It was interesting, but I was mostly still being trained in the real world." Blitz says.

Spitfire looks a bit confused. "Real world? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, like take experience from here and then real world experience would be out in the field." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods and looks at the clock. "Shoot, it's getting late." She said before packing up and gathering her clothes. "Listen, I'm sorry for taking up your time. You can go now."

"No need to worry about that, I had a good time. It isn't often I get to have a good talk with my employers that is not on work." Blitz says getting up.

Spitfire smiles. "Great, now if you'll excuse me, I have get my boys to stop having fun on that mare that walked by two hours ago in our locker room." She said stepping out.

"Don't break their wings, they will be dead weight then." Blitz jokes.

Spitfire chuckles. "I know, I just threaten to break another part of them right off."

"Then they will be doubly dead weight." Blitz jokes.

Spitfire grins. "I said threaten, not kill. Bye Cross." She said waving at him as she went down the hall.

"See ya Spitfire, I'll be helping your ponies guard against owlbears tonight." Blitz says leaving.

Blitz chuckles as he starts to fly away and hears some metal hitting against other metal in the same building he left. "Oh Spitfire, the great male downer." He said to himself as he flew away and lands on the edge of the cliff and looks out to survey the land. Blitz didn't see or hear anypony else until the moon was halfway in its descent. "Hey I'm here to relieve yo…" A pony stops as Blitz turned around to see Fleetfoot.

"Fleetfoot, it has been a while." Blitz greets.

Fleetfoot nods. "Yeah, it sure has been. What are you doing here?"

"Helping to keep watch while in between lessons to the cadets." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smiles. "Really, are they giving you a hard time?"

"Oh no, I'm working them into the ground. Which is quite literally what they will be doing when the sun rises." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot steps up next to him and sits down. "Your base is coming along nicely."

"Yes, and I heard that the restoration is coming along for the town as well." Blitz says sitting next to her.

Fleetfoot nods. "Yeah, my old town will soon be a memory though."

"It won't, you carry it with you." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smiles and looks at him. "And what about this?"

"It is a magnificent view." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot hits him. "I meant after you are done here."

Blitz chuckles a bit. "I'm thinking of disappearing for bit because of that edict that will come into play." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot hisses. "I see what you mean, well don't worry I won't go after you, unless it's for business."

Blitz chuckles a bit more. "I wouldn't mind if you came after me, it would be quite exciting having a cute mare chasing me." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot blushes. "Thanks Cross, but I rather keep this relationship as friends, but…you would make a great mate."

"Yeah, you would too." Blitz says turning his head a bit. "It sees that owlbear has a home nearby." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot sighs. "The job is too watch for them and make sure they don't come here. Easy to scare too, unless…" She said turning to him. "You want a pet?"

"No thanks, Terran would rip it apart. By the way, he misses you a bit. It seems you two bonded." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks away and blushes a little. "Yeah, I miss a lot and that loveable oaf is one of them. He can sure tire you out."

"Oh yes he can, I have to let him run wild every once in a while so he doesn't lash out at the wrong thing." Blitz says.

She looks to him. "What about finding him somepony? Would that also keep him in check?"

"To find him a mate, I would have to take him to his homeland and that is quite far away. So far away you have yet to discover anything on his species?" Blitz asks smirking under his helmet.

Fleetfoot sighs. "Can others handle him?"

"If he accepts them like he did you, then he will listen, but he is very hard to handle especially when he is a little cranky." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smirks. "Scratch behind his left ear, two spines down, loves belly rubs, only in the lower part of his stomach and loves wrapping his legs around others."

"You know him all too well." Blitz says laughing.

Fleetfoot nods. "I really do."

"Maybe…nah, it's a silly idea." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks to him. "What?"

"Never mind." Blitz says getting up and walking away.

Fleetfoot keeps watching him. "Just tell me what it is."

"Like a cute mare like that would fall for me." Blitz says, not knowing Fleetfoot caught it on the breeze.

"Me and Terran together, right?" Fleetfoot calls.

"Hum…no, me and you." Blitz says rubbing the back of his helmet.

Fleetfoot sighs and turns back to the sky. "I'm still here for you."

"What's it with me and falling for mares with wings?" Blitz asks himself.

Blitz waits till the sun starts to rise and smiles as he heard a bugle blow loudly, signaling the start of the day for the Wonderbolts.

He waits as some yelling was heard and soon the cadets filed out onto the field. "Ah good, you're all up." He said eyeing the tired cadets. "Now then, time for some laps. I want twenty laps around the academy, move it, move it, move it!" Blitz yells. He watches as the cadets groan and then fly off. "Is grumbling part of this flight?! If so, you just earned another ten laps, now pick up the pace!" Blitz yells through a megaphone.

Fleetfoot smiles as she walks up to him. "You're good."

"I went through far worse during my training. They think this is bad, they would be dying from Mandalorian training." Blitz says facing her.

Fleetfoot sighs. "Can we talk about last night?"

"One moment. You in the rear, no slacking. If any of you falls too far behind the rest of the group, then everypony does another fifteen laps!" Blitz yells into the megaphone before turning back to Fleetfoot. "You were saying?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot looks slightly away. "What was that idea you came up with?"

"About you and me maybe being more?" Blitz asks watching the cadets out of the corner of his eye.

Fleetfoot blushes. "That's sweet of you, but I want to remain friends. With you…it just doesn't…click."

"So what about me doesn't click?" Blitz asks curious.

Fleetfoot sighs. "You are kind, but something is missing. I can't place it, but something is not there to make me like you that way."

"Or is it you have your heart set on another?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot nods. "Yeah, I'm just fooling myself. It is somepony else."

"I see, I hope Big Mac accepts you." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot glares at him. "It's not him."

"Oh, then who?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot keeps looking blankly at the sky. "I need to know myself, so I need to meet him. Think you can help set it up?"

"Maybe, if you tell me who it is." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks to him. "It's Terran I want to meet."

"Oh, good lord. Terran likes having you around to play and interact with, but he is not interested in you as a mate. I know, I have asked him. Besides our kind is a little too delicate for his tastes. By the way, what is wrong with my cous…" Blitz stops himself.

Fleetfoot sighs. "How do you know when asking him, do you have an alien translator?"

"How did you…?" Blitz asks when something suddenly clicks in Fleetfoot's head.

"Wait your cous…in. You asked me what was wrong with your cousin." Fleetfoot asks smirking.

"I said no such thing." Blitz says quickly.

Fleetfoot grins. "That quickness says different."

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot waves him off. "I'll stop, but I still want to make sure with Terran."

"Trust me, he isn't interested. He is more interested in his next meal than mating. I know, I have tried to find him one." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smiles. "Just like any male."

"Fine, if you want to confirm, here." Blitz says before whistling so loudly it echoed throughout the mountains.

Fleetfoot looks at him surprised. "He was here the whole time?"

"In the area. He is quite a versatile creature." Blitz says as somepony flies over. "Something is climbing up the cliff."

Blitz nods. "I know, it's mine." He said before a blur knocked Fleetfoot out of their view. "And that would be my pet."

Fleetfoot smiles as Terran licks her cheek. "Okay, okay, it's great to see you too." She said before hugging him. "It's great to see you."

"Terran, do you like Fleetfoot as a mate?" Blitz says. Terran immediately sat up and gave him a weird look before shaking his head. "Do you care or even want a mate?" Blitz asks. Terran shakes his head again.

Fleetfoot such as she scratches his head. "He must really care of only living and nothing else."

"He lives for the thrill of the hunt and eating. Nothing more and that single mindedness on his purpose is why he is so fierce at what he does. A normal one of his species couldn't climb the cliff face."

Fleetfoot nods. "Well…now I know. I guess I have to keep searching. Ow." She yelps as a piece of paper hits her in the face. "What…?" She looks at the paper and immediately quiets down.

"What?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot shakes her head and crumbles the paper together. "Nothing. It's nothing."

"If it was nothing, you wouldn't dismiss it so quickly." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks at the paper before giving it to him. "There's a reason I wanted Terran. I have a small past in that old town. Something that was buried with its destruction. I don't know how they got that picture."

"Fleetfoot, if you need help, all you need do is ask." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot presses her lips together. "I was actually with someone back in my young adult years. Something that was usually frowned upon and it's one of the reasons why I left the town." She said as Blitz opens the paper and sees a picture of Fleetfoot being mated with a Timberwolf. "He was pretty tamed. Found him in the middle of nowhere and hurt badly. I was young and stupid so I helped him out. Eventually we got close with secret meetings so we don't freak out anypony. But soon it developed into something more for us. And…he understood. It was real to me as it was to him. Then somepony found us, took pictures while we were doing it, then posts it all over town and I was ashamed and so was my family. Only my mother understood what we had and I came to Ponyville and left him in the Everfree forest and soon I got into the Wonderbolts. I thought all the pictures were destroyed."

"I see, so your love of animals is why you struck a bond of friendship with Terran." Blitz says putting a hoof on her shoulder.

Fleetfoot nods. "Yeah, I got almost the same amount of understand as that pegasus mare down in Ponyville, but not enough or sometimes more. I let the fear of the secret destroy us and I don't intend to let that happen again. I lost him and he was my only love. I lost him to a Timberwolf killing him because of pack reasons. That was it for me. But how did they find these photos? They were lost when the town was abandoned."

"I think I have a few ideas. Maggots, front and center!" Blitz calls.

As the cadets flew in, tired and ragged, Fleetfoot turns to him. "What's your plan?" She asks as some flew in and crashed landed.

"Maggots, I'm going to be gone for a few hours. Your next exercise will be not a strenuous as yesterdays." Blitz says. Some of the cadets look to each other relieved. "Instead, you will start digging a bunker for the academy with no magic and using only shovels." Blitz says making the cadets looks surprised. "Fleetfoot will supervise." Blitz says grabbing the picture and letting Terran sniff it a few times before his eye color changed.

Fleetfoot smiles as he sniffs around a few. "Just like him, he helped save a few foals in the old mine. Tried to stay hidden and it worked." She said before Terran took off. "Good luck." She said as Blitz took off after him.

As the sun started to set, Blitz returned and threw a brown earth pony to Fleetfoot's hooves. "This is the one who originally took the pictures. It turns out he spread them again to try and make money discrediting you to decrease the value of the land the reconstruction project is being built on so he could buy it cheap." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks to the stallion as he looks up at her before she kicks him in the chest. "Bastard. He was also the one who started it in the town and ruined my life. I only learned about him after it got printed in the papers in Ponyville. He ruined everything I had and now wants to do it again, only this time, sending out high and dry for anything to grab."

"He won't be doing it this time Fleetfoot. I made sure of that." Blitz says putting a hoof on her shoulder.

Fleetfoot smiles. "Thanks for ending this, but nothing can bring him back. Not now, not ever."

"I know. Just know you are not alone." Blitz says as some of the other Wonderbolts dragged him away and Blitz started to yell at the cadets again.

Fleetfoot smiles as the stallion was sent away by the guards and the cadets now have made a hole that was as deep as them. She then turns to Terran who was sitting right by her. "The reason I wanted to make sure, was because you remind me so much of him, it's almost like you are him."

Terran turned his head sideways before nudging her forwards. "What, you telling me to me forward with my life now?" Fleetfoot asks. Terran only growled and nudged her forward again. She watches him and sighs. "I guess you're right. I guess even he would want me to move on and find someone else." Terran growls at her. Fleetfoot smiles and scratches his head. "Thanks boy." Fleetfoot could have sworn Terran was smiling from hearing that.

"You call that shoveling?! I've seen creatures completely minute to your size dig faster and with a better form and they could finish the job by the end of the hour!" Blitz yelled.

'Maybe I should reevaluate a few things.' Fleetfoot says smiling at Blitz's flank.

Blitz smiles as he watches the Wonderbolts cadets now panting in exhaustion as they rested on the ground or their shovel after digging almost fifty feet. "Nice job, very good. Now even it out and then I'll check and we'll cover it up and continue tomorrow." He said walking away.

"You are a sadist!" The cadets yell.

Blitz stops as the other cadets back away from the one who yelled as Blitz walks backward to the edge before turning around slowly. "Care to run that by me again?" He asks too calmly.

"You are a sadist." The singled out cadet says chuckling nervously.

Blitz looks down to the cadet as the rest of them actually started to dig together and dig a tunnel leading to the building. "Oh no, I not a sadist. I just do what they're telling me to do and they told me to dig a bunker. Congratulations, I'll make sure to mark you as the one who whined while everypony else worked their flank off. Now I want you to dig without this." Blitz says taking the shovel and leaves without another word.


"And that's why I took his shovel." Blitz says to Spitfire.

"So what is he supposed to dig with?" Spitfire asks a smile forming.

"His hooves, so how did last night go?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire sighs in relief. "Fine, no owlbears raided our food storage again. Thanks for the tips."

"No problem about that. So what are you going to do with your new prisoner?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire frowns. "For lifelong stalking and torture, forget him seeing the light of anything. We're going to give him the same humiliation."

"I see and what of Fleetfoot, you think she will be ok?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, she just needs somepony."

"Maybe." Blitz says laying on her couch with a drink in hoof. "Hey captain, there is something I want to talk about." Fleetfoot says entering.

Spitfire looks at her. "And what is that?"

"I learnt something interesting today from Southern Cross." Fleetfoot says closing the door behind her, not noticing him on the couch.

Spitfire smiles a bit. "And that would be?"

"He let it slip what is wrong with my cousin after I said I'm no longer interested in Big Mac of the Apple family." Fleetfoot says before hearing a glass break. They both look to the broken window and just stare at it. "That was Cross, right?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Want to chase after him?" Spitfire asks with the biggest smirk.

Fleetfoot smirks. "Let him fester in his slip up."

"Oh no, this is our chance to finally learn something about him." Spitfire says flying after him with Fleetfoot following.

Blitz breathes heavily as he leans against a wall to hide from the mares. "Why did I slip up?"

"I don't know, why did you?" Spitfire's voice asks right behind him.

Blitz flies again, but then feels his hoof grabbed and made him fall to the ground. "Let me go, please." He begged.

"Nuh, huh, I have you under contract." Spitfire says holding him.

Blitz pales as he slowly slows down and then turns to her. "What do you need?"

"So I finally know something more about you Mr. Apple." Spitfire whispers.

Blitz sighs and lays his head on the ground. "What do you want to know?"

"Not here, my office." Spitfire whispers to him.

Blitz looks up to her. "We're alone, why your office?"

"I have something in there, now come on." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs and gets up and follows her back to the office and finds her locking up the office. "So what now?"

"Well first." Spitfire says pulling out a cooler. "Why don't we share a drink together?" Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs as he lays down on the couch again. "No thanks."

"Come on, it's very strong scottish liqueur." Spitfire says.

Blitz shakes his head. "No, need a clear head for the work tomorrow."

"Oh, come on, one drink?" Spitfire asks.

'I can't believe she is playing to one of my weaknesses without even knowing it.' Blitz thinks. "You want to see me without my helmet on don't you?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire grins. "Yep."

"Guess you will figure out who I am underneath here soon anyways." Blitz says removing his helmet.

Spitfire smirks, but then blanches as she sees who it is. "Blitz, Blitzkrieg?"

"I see you know me by name." Blitz says popping his neck as he levitates the helmet onto the desk.

Spitfire nods as she gives a glass. "Yeah, who doesn't know the stallion working with Cross, but now I know he is Cross."

"That is not very well known, after all, it would only bring those with grudges to my door." Blitz says grabbing the glass.

Spitfire fills his glass up. "Don't worry, I won't tell."

"So you going to tell Fleetfoot so she won't go and watch my adopted family closely to figure out which one I am?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire nods as she fills her own glass. "Yeah, make things easier for you."

"Yeah, so Spitfire, what was the other reason you got me to come to your academy besides the job?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire sighs and sits by him. "I wanted to talk to you."

"Well let's talk then. No alias, no code names, just you and me being completely honest." Blitz says turning to her after taking a drink.

Spitfire sighs. "Okay, how you did you start like this?"

"Well this is going to be hard to believe, but…" Blitz started regaling her with how he got started. "And that is how I got started." Blitz says taking another drink.

Spitfire stood still as she listened. "Wow, so what are you doing now?"

"Still bounty hunting and have decided to move back onto the planet." Blitz says laying his head on her lap.

Spitfire looks to him. "Didn't you say you need to head back out again?"

"Every once in a while maybe. So tell me, did you believe anything I just told you?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire sighs. "With everything you have on you, yeah."

"You know, you're a sweet mare." Blitz says.

Spitfire smiles. "Yeah, I've been told that. Do you have a preference on the type of mare?"

"This maybe the alcohol talking, but I have always found mares with wing beautiful." Blitz says.

Spitfire chuckles. "Really, wings? Why do you like them?"

"Well I'm not quite sure myself, but it may go back to the fact I have always wanted to fly without magic or equipment like you, but can't. The way you fly through the air with such grace, but you personally are like a beacon in the night to me. You are strong and independent, strict when need be, but also laid back and understanding." Blitz says snuggling into her lap as he pets her wing.

Spitfire smiles. "Oh, thank you. But no matter what, remember that you will get this one day and live the dream. But if you envy me and, possibly others, I think we can arrange something." Spitfire says making a mental count of him drinking six glasses of alcohol already.

"Oh you thinking of catching me in the edict?" Blitz asks a little drunkenly closing his eyes as he continues to snuggle into her.

Spitfire sighs. "Only if you want me."

"It would be fun, but I doubt you could catch me. Remember I can turn invisible." Blitz says.

"Oh I'll take that challenge, after all I you know better than some of the stallions who would want to me to catch them." Spitfire says smirking.

"You gotta catch me first and it starts in three day and I'm still on the job then." Blitz says.

Spitfire scoffs. "I'm the leader of Wonderbolts. I'll catch you."

"Can't catch what you can't see." Blitz says in a drunkenly smug way.

"Oh what about a bet then?" Spitfire asks smirking.

"Oh I'm listening." Blitz says trying to get up.

Spitfire holds him to stop him from swaying. "Yeah, if I win, I get you with everypony else. If you win, you get to choose."

"So what's the rules captain my captain?" Blitz asks.

"No stealth tech for one." Spitfire says.

"Going straight for my advantage, huh? Ok, but in exchange we have to be confined to one area of my choosing and a time limit." Blitz says laying back down onto her lap.

"Alright. I can live with that, we can discuss the rest in the morning. You can sleep in my quarters." Spitfire says putting his helmet on him and helps him up.

Blitz smiles. "Good, I really need a nap." He said right he fell into snores.

"Yeah, I could as well." Spitfire says dragging him to her quarter.


Blitz awoke the next morning with a slight headache. "What happened last night?" Blitz asks feeling something soft against his bare chest. 'What is that against my…' Blitz thinks before his eyes snap wide open. 'Oh shit.' He thinks as he sees Spitfire against him. 'I'm so dead with the girls.'

"Oh awake already. I was enjoying using you as a pillow." Spitfire says.

"We didn't do that did we?" Blitz asks.

"Oh don't worry your pretty little head over it, we didn't. I just removed your armor so you wouldn't mess up my bed and so we could sleep comfortably on it." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs in relief as he lays back down. "Thank goodness. There goes the edict if it happened."

"Oh speaking of which, tonight we will hammer out the rest of our bet." Spitfire says smirking as she held him down with her forehooves.

Blitz gulps as he tries to remember what it was. "And what was that?"

"I get to chase you during the edict and you get no stealth technology." She whispers into his ear.

Blitz looks to her now calm. "Oh is that it, that's easy."

"In a limited area and I can still fly." Spitfire says.

Blitz shrugs. "Still do it, do I get to choose the limited area?"

"Yeah, but no armor or any other tech or even magic." Spitfire says starting to get Blitz to sweat.

Blitz groans. "I'm dead." He then remembers a spot. "Everfree forest."

"You get to pick, but we will hammer all the details later, after all you got to get ready and train the cadets." Spitfire says smiling.

Blitz grins. "Yeah, the fresh meat, want to join?"

"Nah, you got them under control." Spitfire says letting him up.

Blitz sighs as he sits up. "And you, what are you going to do?"

"The most boring part of the job, paperwork." Spitfire says getting out of the bed.

Blitz chuckles. "Just let me know and I'll burn them and get rid of the evidence."

"I wish that would work." Spitfire says starting to put on her uniform jacket.

Blitz smiles. "Do you know how long Soarin ran this sex club on base?"

"A month without my notice, now it's over and Soarin is on latrine duty for three months." Spitfire says.

Blitz chuckles. "So you knew, but you needed proof, didn't you?"

"Maybe I will tell you when I catch you." Spitfire says smirking.

Blitz sighs. "Better get ready for the chase. When does it start?"

"We will discuss that later tonight. By the way, I find your eyes to be beautiful." Spitfire says before leaving him alone.

Blitz just looks confused. "What's with my eyes and being beautiful?" He said grabbing a mirror. "They don't look that great."


"Okay that's enough for today." Blitz says as the sun sets. Every cadet pants and collapses on the ground when they hear that. "Now you can head to your bunks and go to sleep early today." He said making them look relieved. "For tomorrow will be the worst day of your life. Because you are going to start learning the moves after each one of you experiences them." He said now making them lay down again.

"Want me to help tomorrow?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz smiles as he looks to her. "Want to be beat up?"

"No, I'm asking if you want me to help beat them up a bit." Fleetfoot says smirking at him.

Blitz chuckles. "Okay, I can take that."

"Good. The captain wanted to talk to you after you were done right?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, now excuse while I disappear for a bit." He said before leaving.

"Can I join Mr. Apple?" Fleetfoot whispers.

Blitz smiles lightly as he looks back at her. "Only if you want me."

"I guess I could do worse and it would keep those love crazed fans away a bit." Fleetfoot says in a way making Blitz unable to tell if she was joking or not.

Blitz sighs and walks with Fleetfoot as they enter Spitfire's office. "Done with those papers or you need my flamethrower and a shovel?" Blitz asks humorously.

"I'm done and is that Fleetfoot joining us?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz nods grimly. "Yeah, figure might as well."

"So want in on our little bet Fleetfoot?" Spitfire asks.

Fleetfoot grins. "And what's that?"

"Well last night we made a bet. If I can catch him in a limited amount of time he will concede to me on the edict." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot looks to Blitz grinning. "Really? He betted on his future marriage life?"

"Yes, isn't that right, Apple Blitzkrieg?" Spitfire asks.

Fleetfoot looks a little surprised as Blitz removed his helmet. "Blitzkrieg? Weren't you the one who was reported to work with Cross? Wait that means that you…?"

"One in the same and Spitfire, you mind not yelling it to the entire base?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire chuckles. "Sure, just let me kiss you in the end and I'll think about it."

"Ah, but that is just it, you gotta catch me to get that." Blitz says.

Spitfire smiles. "Then you better start running, because I'm going to start at the Zecora's home. Run my little stallion, run."

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says.

"Yeah, you will be running from both of us." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz grins putting back on his helmet. "Great, later." He said before jumping out of the window, which was right next to the broken one.

"You still have to train the cadets for several more days!" Spitfire yells.

Fleetfoot looks to her captain. "You do realize that you made it sound like it's now, right?"

"I know, I just want to mess with our little stallion is all." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot chuckles. "You want to go after him now?"

"No, he won't leave and I expect him to be back soon." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot nods. "Okay then, what do you want to do now?"

"When he gets back I might bring out my cooler again so we can finish the bottle." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot gasps. "Your stash. You don't let anypony touch that, but you." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire smiles. "I know, now get back to work little missy."

Fleetfoot sighs. "Yeah, yeah." She said walking out.

Spitfire watches as she leaves. "Hey." She started, making her stop. "I'm sorry about him. He looks like a good guy."

"It's ok. I just have to move forward and not let myself be chained to the past. But if you're really sorry, how about letting me stay for a drink with you two, I mean we will be sharing him." Fleetfoot says smiling at her.

Spitfire smiles back. "Sure, just don't go home drunk, what am I saying of course you will."

"You could always let me share your bunk." Fleetfoot adds.

Spitfire grins. "Why, want to double team him?"

"Maybe or maybe I want a reenactment of when we were cadets." Fleetfoot says licking her lips.

Spitfire chuckles. "You really are hungry, aren't you?"

"Maybe or maybe I'm joking." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire smiles. "Don't deny you didn't like it."

"I would keep playing, but I noticed the door opened slightly and closed." Fleetfoot says feeling around for something.

Spitfire leans back and sighs. "Probably Soarin still hurt over the fact I destroyed his sex ring."

"Where are, ah hah!" Fleetfoot yells as she seemed to grab onto something not visible.

Spitfire smiles. "What's on the line for you?"

"So our little stallion up for a drink?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz smiles nervously decloaking. "Maybe?"

"Come on, show me that pretty face." Fleetfoot says sweetly while smiling at him.

Blitz sighs and takes off his helmet. "There, happy?"

Fleetfoot kisses his cheek. "Yes, by the way love your golden yellow eyes." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz looks to her weird with a blushed expression. "What is it about my eyes? I never got that."

"Have you ever seen another pony with golden yellow eyes before?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz thinks for a few. "I don't know."

"Exactly, your eye color is so rare its non-existent." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Really now, I wonder how I got this?"

"From your birth parents, now come on you two, don't make me drink this strong stuff alone." Spitfire says taking out a half empty bottle from her cooler.

Fleetfoot drops Blitz and drops down on the couch. "Come on Blitz." She said tapping the spot next to her as she took a glass.

"Ok, but only a few glasses at most. I don't want to wake up like I did this morning." Blitz says joining the two.

Spitfire sits on the other side of Blitz as Fleetfoot snuggles into his other side. "Don't worry." She said filling up his glass. "You can get drunk off of us."

"By the way, how many glasses did I drink last night?" Blitz asks.

"Six and I drank one and a half and slipped the other half into your glass." Spitfire says handing out the glasses.

Blitz sighs and leans back in his seat. "Why did I do that?"

"Because you weren't paying attention as you told me your story." Spitfire says pouring him a drink.

Blitz places the glass down and still leans back while the mares leans against him as they drink. "Don't want to take the chance again."

"Don't worry, between the three of us, there is only enough for three glasses full, at most of one pony." Spitfire says.

Blitz takes the glass and drowns it in one go. "That's a little better."

"You have a high tolerance. I let some of the other Wonderbolts try this once, most were very intoxicated after the second round. You took five." Spitfire says.

"Oh, I remember that holiday party." Fleetfoot says taking a drink.

Blitz shrugs. "I had worse."

"Oh wow, I want to try that." Fleetfoot says excited.

Blitz smiles as he leans his head back and closes his eyes. "Okay, you want to try sitting in the bathroom for two whole days while having immense diarrhea with such a smashing headache you will be in a coma like trance, be my guest."

"Please don't tempt her. Fleetfoot would do that with how adventurous she is." Spitfire says.

Blitz chuckles. "That's her choice."

"Oh, you are going to be such a good husband for me." Fleetfoot says filling up Blitz's glass.

Blitz sighs. "I don't know about good. I don't know if I can take care about you girls later."

"No need, you forget it's us mares who take care of the stallions." Spitfire says smiling at him.

Blitz looks to her. "Do the mares really take care of stallions or forget about them later?"

"You really have been gone a long time. We are a mostly female dominated society. You being a stallion and showing you have a lot of talent and getting more and more famous makes you highly desirable and the former unless the marriage falls apart." Spitfire says taking another drink.

Blitz groans. "Great, so will you forget me soon?"

"Oh not a chance." Spitfire says moving into his lap. "After all, you save our lives twice now." Spitfire whispers into his ear before nibbling on it lightly.

Blitz tries to stifle the moan. "But what about other mares?"

"You think they will forget such a fine specimen as yourself?" Spitfire says stopping.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Maybe after a while when they get bored."

"Don't sell yourself so short." Fleetfoot leaning into him with a drunken blush.

Blitz looks away from them. "After what I'm going through and my job, they probably will once they realize what I do."

"What, bounty hunting?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz nods. "Dangerous job."

"Well I know the full truth and I haven't left yet." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles a little as he looks back at her. "Yeah, I guess you haven't." He said placing his hooves on her hips.

"Oh, want to call off our little bet and jump straight to it?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz chuckles as he moves his hooves to her cutie mark. "Maybe, but I do have to know how you handle me and are good enough for my taste."

"Oh so forward. I think the better question is can you handle me? I don't go easy on a stallion I like." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs as he wraps a leg around Fleetfoot. "I can handle a lot of things."

"Oh does this mean I get both of you tonight?" Fleetfoot asks drunkenly after finishing a fourth glass.

Blitz shakes his head and puts her glass away. "I think you had enough."

"Oh, then is it time for bed?" Fleetfoot says with a drunken smile.

Blitz smiles as he looks to and just let her rest her head on his shoulder. "Nah, but you can."

"Oh such a caring husband." Fleetfoot says as she wraps her hooves around him.

Blitz grins slightly. "Maybe I'll consider having you two if you can keep the suits. Kinda sexy."

"Oh, I think we can do that for you. My sexy stallion." Spitfire says.

Blitz chuckles a little and looks to Fleetfoot. "Yeah, considering they go around the right places."

"Oh, you're such a bad stallion." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz sighs. "Only if you want me to be, besides," He moves the leg around Fleetfoot to her flank. "This is one skintight suit. I don't even have something like this."

"Oh enough teasing, take me to bed." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz chuckles. "Okay, you can go to bed and we can stay awake." He says, letting go of her.

"Bring her to my room. We can continue this there." Spitfire says kissing his cheek before getting off of him and placing his helmet back on him.

Blitz smiles and lifts Fleetfoot over his shoulder and carries her to Spitfire's bedroom as she talks about the many things he can do to her. Blitz just smiles and gets into Spitfire's room and lays her down into the bed and lets her cuddle up with the sheets as he leaves and heads to the office and sits down again.

"So where were we?" He asks taking off his helmet.

"Here." Spitfire said coming out of another door with her suit on. "You did say like skintight suits." She said coming over and sitting on his lap again.

"I do, but tell me do you like me in full armor?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire shrugs. "As long something metal doesn't poke, I want something soft to poke me." She said wiggling her hips on his lap.

"Ok, ok, I get the message." Blitz says starting to take his armor off.

Spitfire licks her lips as he takes off his armor and he sits down again. "Sexy. So what are you going to do?" She said sitting in his lap again.

Blitz shrugs and places his hooves on her again, this time on her shoulder and moves down slowly. "I don't know, what do you want?"

Spitfire giggles as she feels him moves his hooves on her sides. "Well, I do like kisses, but first tell me about these." Spitfire says touching his scarred chest.

"Ah, the final mark Bloody Mary gave me. I thought that was healed." Blitz says.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "Bloody Mary huh? Was she that bad?"

"And worse, she earned the title Queen of Vampires from her acts. Legends say that her actions became so vile, Dracula himself killed her to stop them." Blitz says.

Spitfire sits down completely on his lap as his hooves ended up on her hips again around her cutie mark. "You are okay, right?"

"For that, not yet. I may have some alcohol in me but I'm not that drunk. But I will give you consolation prize." Blitz says before kissing her cheek.

Spitfire smiles. "Aw, so what are you going to do with those hooves of yours?"

"Maybe you will find out on your bed." Blitz says.

Spitfire giggles. "Isn't Fleetfoot on that bed on mine?"

"So?" Blitz asks.

"She was right, you're a bad stallion and I'm liking it." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, I'm starting to learn how to at least please a mare. Though I'm still bad at it."

"Don't worry…" Spitfire starts before getting off and walking towards her bed, shaking her flank at him suggestively. "I'll teach you." Spitfire finishes looking back at him with a smile.

Blitz chuckles before getting up and following her. "Just don't go too far, I still want to save myself."

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle." Spitfire says getting in the bed.

Blitz sighs as he sits down in the bed with Fleetfoot snoring on the side. "Good, because I can also do this." He said before touching a certain spot on her suit right between her legs, hitting it slightly. Spitfire yelps a bit from the sudden touch, moving into Fleetfoot who latches onto her.

Blitz just laughs as he lays right by her and wraps his hooves around her as best he could. "Now who's in the middle?"

"Nothing new for me. Reminds me of my cadet days, only difference was there was no stallions." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Well now you get to try something new, right?" He emphasized by moving his hoof down to her flank.

"Oh yeah, but the bet is still on. I want to work for you." Spitfire says showing a little competitive nature.

Blitz grins. "Good, I like a challenge." He said before slapping her flank.

"I'm so going to get you back for that when I chase you." Spitfire says before stealing a kiss.

Blitz smiles as he rubs his hoof on her. "I'm looking forward to it." He said before closing his eyes.

"You will huh?" Spitfire asks falling asleep.

Blitz nuzzles her nose. "Yeah, because I'm going to have fun watching you fly around in circles."

"We shall see. Remember no tech or any magic." Spitfire says tapping his horn.

Blitz takes a sharp breath at that touch. "Yeah, got it."

"Good boy." Spitfire says before kissing the horn.

Blitz stifles a yelp. "Okay, that's enough." He said through gritted teeth.

"Ok, I'm done for now. Get some sleep." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Good, because I'm going to do a lot worse with you in that suit."

"Don't wait until after I'm out of it. It is a pain to get on that is just right." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs. "Feeling you in that thing is good enough, but I did notice that little zipper on the bottom."

"Yes and a pain to get on and off without help." Spitfire says booping her nose with his.

Blitz grins. "I meant for something else other than tying that thing up which is double the function if you think about it."

"Oh? Save those thoughts for another time. For now sleep." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah." He said, trying to sleep now.


It was nearly two weeks later when Blitz finally finished teaching the cadets basic mandalorian self-defense. Incidentally, the number of visits to the medic of the academy for most of the stallions of the Wonderbolts was increased at least five times.

Blitz smiles as they stood in front of him. "Congratulations, you've all passed, now you can go out and do your own thing. Oh and sorry about that one move stallions. Ok not really, you have to learn to respect mares more." Blitz says sticking out his tongue to the side inside his helmet.

Spitfire walks up. "Thanks Cross, so we meet up this weekend. Me and Fleetfoot are off duty then." Spitfire whispers.

Blitz nods to her before turning back to the cadets. "Okay, you'll dismissed for the final time with me, but for them, not so much." He said nodding his head to Spitfire.

"Right you pansies, I hope you enjoyed your easy training with Cross here because now we will start working you like Wonderbolts! Now move to the sky and start flapping those useless wings!" Spitfire yells in full drill sergeant mode before whistling her whistle.

Blitz sighs as the cadets fly off and he turns to her. "So want to start now?"

"No, I'm still on duty. Now you best go before one of the mare cadets gets a bright idea with you." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Sure and you better be wearing that suit, because if I tie you up and leave you behind, you can bet I'm going to do something."

"You are so bad. I'm going to love teaching you a few things." Spitfire says before Blitz disappeared. "Cool, but not allowed." She said before walking away.

Blitz sighs as he rested on a tree branch a little while later while waiting for Spitfire and Fleetfoot. "Minerva, are they here yet?"

"Yes and the girls are up to speed and watching carefully. They want to see what you can do without your tech or magic." Minerva says over the communicator.

Blitz smiles as he got up. "Are they wearing their suits?"

"I got them on camera and they are." Minerva says.

Blitz chuckles. "Good." He said taking the vines under the branch he was on and wrapping it around him. "I'm off." He said before jumping to branch to branch.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Minerva asks.

Blitz grins. "And what's that?"

"You have to go and meet them before this can officially start." Minerva says as Blitz could practically feel her smiling.

Blitz sighs and reaches Zecora's home and lands on the ground and puts the vines away before walking over to the mares. "Hello girls, how's it going?"

"Looks like we don't have to hunt you down for ditching us." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz shakes his head. "So you ready?"

"Oh yeah, get ready to be claimed." Spitfire says confidently.

Blitz smiles. "Good, bye now." He before running off and grabbing the vines and jumps onto a branch and off into the forest.

"Fifteen minute head start?" Fleetfoot asks.

Spitfire shakes her head. "Five. He thinks he's good." She said adjusting her suit.

"Yeah, but you know he isn't wrong." Fleetfoot says.

"You're right. Two minutes." Spitfire says.

After the time passed they both flew off and tried to find him. Of course they flew under the tree line and found his path. Blitz smiles as he leans against the tree just looking at himself in a little pond, trying to look at his eyes. "Huh, maybe they are good." He said before he hears something snap and a few yells. He grins and walks out to the trap he set up and sees Spitfire and Fleetfoot tied up. "Hi girls."

"What the?" Fleetfoot says.

"You know your biggest mistake was giving me three days to prepare ahead of time. Still, think you can catch me within three hours?" Blitz asks casually walking away while laughing.

Spitfire growls before taking a vine in her mouth and biting it before snapping the rest with her strength and flew after him. "Hey! What about me?!" Fleetfoot yells as she struggles before trying to bite them herself.

Spitfire scowls as she flew after him and soon a vine circle appeared in front of her and she tried to brake hard and ended up stopping before it, but then gets tied up from behind and then dragged backward before being hanged in midair. "Nice try." Blitz said coming around in her view. "Good braking, but nice try. Oh and what was that about making me pay for that?" Blitz asks disappearing into the foliage again.

Spitfire keeps struggling until Fleetfoot comes into view. "Need some help?"

Spitfire growls as she looks to her. "Yeah, get me out from here!"

Fleetfoot flies up and starts cutting her down. "We got to change tactics. He is too well prepared for us to rush him." Fleetfoot says getting the last vine.

Spitfire drops down to the ground. "Got an idea?"

"We play it against how pegasus usually would approach this." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire smiles. "Then let's go."

"He won't see this coming." Fleetfoot says as they touch down on the ground.

Spitfire nods and starts walking. "Yeah, he probably won't even plan anything for it."

Meanwhile in a tree a little ways away. "Where are they?" Blitz asks watching the sky closely, hidden carefully amongst the branches. He yawns before he hears some hoofsteps on the ground. "That's new. Oh boy, there goes almost all of my traps." Blitz says now laying motionlessly against the branches, now watching the ground for any movement.

He soon sees the two mares come into a small view point. "Only chance." He said to himself, grabbing the vines on him.

Spitfire smiles as she looks around. "Where do you think he is, in a tree?"

"Maybe, but he wouldn't stop so close by." Fleetfoot says facing her as only her eyes move up, signaling Spitfire his tracked stopped and those branches above were a little suspicious looking at them from the ground.

Spitfire grins, where the branches can't see it and starts walking to it. Fleetfoot follows pretending to miss Blitz's hiding place and when they reached under it they both jumped up and tried to grab anything on tried to grab anything on the branch, but they just grabbed air and when they hung on the branch to look up at it and finds vines around their hooves. "What…?" Spitfire said confused.

Blitz seeing this from his branch, higher up, smiles and gets up. "Sorry ladies I always make back up hiding places." Blitz says before jumping away and pulls the vines with him and pins it down with a large stick.

He looks to the mares now hanging by their hooves. He thinks for a few before starting to walk right past them and when he gets close, he pulls the zipper on them down under them and runs off, leaving them slightly open under their stomachs.

"Bastard." Spitfire cursed as she tries to pull herself up and bite away at the vines.

"Oh, he is definitely going to pay for this." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire bits away at the vines and drops down to the ground and quickly pulls the zipper closed. "Shouldn't have worn the suit that time." She said pulling at Fleetfoot's vines and dropping her to the ground.

"We can't blindly chase him or stalk him carelessly. We got to out think him somehow." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, but how? He basically hunted a lot of…I got an idea." She said with a smirk.

"Oh do share." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire zips up her suit and leans her in close. "Okay, he's used to hunt others when they are either after him or running away, so let's bring him to us. I suggest, a little damsel in distress, he'll go for that."

"Ok, but how do you suggest it?" Fleetfoot whispers back.

Spitfire thinks for a few. "Maybe…" She looks to the vines and searches around her pockets and finds the things she needs. "Come on." She said grabbing her and runs off.

Blitz sighs as he now watches both the ground and sky. "They have to give up some time." He said to himself while still wiping at his hooves. "Can't believe they like that sort of thing."

"Help!" Spitfire and Fleetfoot yells after which growling is heard.

Blitz frowns and starts running across the branches. "Crap!" Blitz hops through the branches, carefully avoiding his traps and came across Spitfire and Fleetfoot being advanced on by a giant spider while tied by one of his traps. 'Of all the things, why a BUCKING spider!' Blitz mentally yells.

He quickly jumps down and throws a flash bang close to the spider's eyes and grabs the mares before jumping off into the branches. He sighs as he keeps hopping a little away before stopping and setting them down on a branch. "Geez girls, you will give me a heart attack if that happened." He looks into the forest to check the traps he left. "Maybe I should have check to see if…YIPE!" He yells as he was pinned down.

"Gotcha!" The mares yell.

"Sonuvabitch!" Blitz yells.

The mares let him go and high hoof. "Yeah, that was perfect." Fleetfoot cheers.

"You put yourselves in mortal danger just to win?" Blitz asks twitching a bit.

The mares grin while they look to them. "Well yeah, it worked didn't it?" Spitfire asks.

"I don't want you and I don't care what the law says." Blitz said suddenly.

"Ok Minerva, going a little too far." Blitz says not too far away, confusing both Wonderbolts.

Blitz smiles before he becomes a bit of static and disappeared to reveal a metal pony. "Hello, but seriously, anypony who gets into trouble just grab attention is definitely not good for Blitz." Minerva said.

"Sorry girls, but you said nothing about decoys and I think you are a little jealous Minerva." Blitz says on a branch away from them.

Spitfire and Fleetfoot looks the between both of them. "So we didn't win?"

Minerva frowns. "No, just concerned because if these mares are going to purposefully put themselves in mortal danger than you are going to die faster than when you should die."

"So you didn't noticed the spider was walking right into one of my traps. By the way, very smart girls." Blitz says as the mares were checking the time and saw that three hours had yet to pass.

Minerva glares at him. "It's the principle."

"They were in no danger Minerva, it was a plan to get me to slip up. Like what we did on Yevin 7." Blitz says.

Minerva scoffs. "How could I forget that, you walked right into it."

"And my shield still held up to the building collapsing after the explosion." Blitz says smugly, barely avoiding Fleetfoot.

Minerva still frowns. "I still had to heal that bruise on your back."

"Details." Blitz says dismissively as he hops away from the two mares chasing him.

Minerva sighs. "Just make sure you come back safely."

"Oh you two still trying?" Blitz asks taunting the two a bit.

Spitfire growls. "Get back here loser!"

"What, not fast enough to catch me?" Blitz asks tauntingly, but regretted it a second later.

Fleetfoot launches herself at him and grabs him by the neck so fast and holds down against the branch while hanging from it and Spitfire jumps onto him. "How's that for fast?"

"Me and my big mouth." Blitz says.

Both mares smirk and let go of him and jump back. "Now do we win?" Fleetfoot asks.

"I don't know, do you?" Blitz asks monotone waiting for them to rub it in.

Both mares smile before launching themselves at him and hugging him. "Time to choose." Spitfire said suddenly.

"Huh?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire looks up at him. "Which one do you want, me or her?"

"Um…girls, you do remember the edict doesn't apply to just the first mare right?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire smiles. "We know, but it's still your choice. We have to take you to an official so we can be marked down. But if you don't want us, we understand. After all, how the heck are you going to be happy with somepony you don't like or want?"

"First, Fleetfoot, I want to tell you everything, come with me to Darkstar One." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot sighs. "Okay, but what about Spitfire?"

"She knows a few details, but I think it is time to blow her mind." Blitz says.

Spitfire grins as she wraps a leg around Fleetfoot. "This is going to be fun."

Less than an hour later they were in space looking at the sun. "So minds blown yet?" Blitz asks as he floats by in the near gravity less state of the ship.

Fleetfoot and Spitfire just stare at the sun. "How…?" They ask.

"I think that's a yes. What do you think Dashie?" Blitz asks as Rainbow was getting more used to the state of gravity.

Rainbow flaps her wings and reaches the bags left near a shelf. "Pretty cool, still not cool as me though."

"I meant are their minds blown by this?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow grins. "Oh yeah, stuttering is not their style."

"So what do you think Daring?" Blitz asks.

Daring smiles as she floats over and hugs him. "Really cool, maybe I should start changing my books with a more sci-fi style to them."

"Try writing a different book series for that." Blitz says stopping her movement.

Daring nods. "Yeah, that's probably a good start. Though I will need some help, think you could give me an adventure? Because this was enough." She said showing the orb.

"Why don't you ask Minerva to share details on my life so far? There is enough there to help get you started." Blitz says.

Daring smiles and kisses his cheek. "Thanks, Blitzy." She said before giggling as she pushes off of him and floats away.

"Ok, if anyone needs me I'm going to be doing some maintenance. Minerva, if they want to see me, show them to my speeder bike and my viking." Blitz says pushing off.

Minerva nods as she watches the dumbfounded Wonderbolts still watching the sun. "Don't worry, I will."

"Thanks." He calls.

"Right, now that he is gone, time for some mare talk." Rainbow says looking to the others.

Blitz sighs as he moves the wires around before pulling the metal pipe. "There it is, that damn pipe again." He said to himself as he places that down and picks up another one. "At this rate, my expenses will be on pipes."

"Hey Blitz?" Twilight asks floating in.

"Under here." Blitz calls from his speeder bike.

Twilight looks to where his voice was and sees a rather large machine next to him while he works a rather sleek machine. "Your new mares are getting use to things around here." She said as she floated over.

"Ah, that was sooner than I expected. You mind hoofing me that wrench?" Blitz asks.

Twilight grabs a wench as she passes it and reaches Blitz as she holds it out for him. "So what are you going to do now? You kinda reached almost the maximum limit on mares so you don't have to worry much on that."

"I'm taking that slowly and pushing it to the back of my mind as I do maintenance on these two and then get started on the probes over there." Blitz says, gesturing to probes sitting on recharging platforms as he keeps working.

Twilight nods and looks down at him. "I meant in the long run, not this."

"What, already picking out names for our foals?" Blitz half jokes as Twilight heard tightening.

Twilight blushes. "Not that, before that in fact. What about those parts?"

"The marriage?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, marrying all of us and you still have to meet most of our families."

Blitz stops for a second and slides out from under the speeder bike. "Please tell me you didn't bring this up with Daring." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Not really, you're the first one I'm talking to about this."

"Good. Twi, Daring's mother died decades ago and her father too when on an adventure like she does and never came back. So mentioning that might hurt her." Blitz says.

Twilight looks away. "Oh, then maybe it's not a good idea for you to meet them then?"

"You mean your parents?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Some of us still have family, but if it's a bad idea, it's fine. I'll just send out the invitations when the time comes."

"No, I will meet with the families, but I am bringing a shield and maybe a sword to keep your brother at bay." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Thanks, but I can hold him back, he forgets I also taught him some shield spells to hold ponies. After all, I don't think the other mares will like it if you come back bruised."

"I think it would be more like your parents not liking to visit your brother in the hospital after I am done." Blitz jokes.

Twilight floats over to him closer. "Maybe, but they would think it's a good lesson for him. Also, I think my mom likes you."

"How, I have never met her and I know you wouldn't reveal what I do so carelessly." Blitz says wrapping a hoof around her as she was now close enough.

Twilight leans her head on him. "Applejack had a photo of you when you're Blitz. She really likes you."

"Oh boy. So what did you tell them?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Nothing much, the marriage with too many mares and then you appearing in town kinda held us back."

"I see, so your brother doesn't like the edict huh?" Blitz asks petting her wing.

Twilight moans. "Not really, there is no need for it in the crystal kingdom, so he doesn't really trust it. He thinks you would use me and then just move on to the next mare."

"Ha, if only he knew you all sought me and its empire Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight hits him. "Shut up. Now don't you have a slave to see?"

"No, I have no slaves, the very idea is horrifying to me." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Really now, then if I was in stocks and chains and ready for you to use me, what would you do?"

"Before or after having to restart my brain?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles a little. "Funny, but what would you do?"

"I was serious about my last statement, but free you unless you wanted me to do something else." Blitz says fully serious.

Twilight giggles. "After your brain comes back and maybe I would enjoy it, only if it's you though."

"Personally I would prefer I get used to the traditional way before we get more adventurous." Blitz says.

Twilight moves her head into his neck. "Yeah, that doesn't sound too bad. But the question is how long and where."

"Well, I follow Mandalorian tradition, so first attempt will be wedding night." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "And how long?"

"That is for the mares to decide as you are the dominant ones in this society." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "How about putting us into a coma?"

"Why would I inject you with drugs?" Blitz asks confused.

Twilight looks to him. "I meant buck us into a coma."

"Oh, that's what you meant." Blitz says blushing furiously.

Twilight sighs and hugs him around the neck. "So…will you?"

"Well I will…try." Blitz says pausing in the middle.

Twilight looks to him. "What's wrong?"

"I'm still working up to that and I think it may take me doing it a few times to get comfortable with it." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and leans back into him. "How about Fluttershy help you with that, she has already had a lot of experience, especially the one she wants you to do?"

"I mean with the traditional way of making foals and I follow the Mandalorian way and it is very specific on waiting to do that." Blitz says.

Twilight nuzzles him. "That's good, but you can still talk to Fluttershy for tips, trust me, you'll find it helps."

"I will think about it. Now I must get back to work Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and looks at him. "Can you at least give me something?"

"Depends on what it is." Blitz says raising an eyebrow.

Twilight smiles. "Hold me and kiss me."

"Alright." Blitz says before fulfilling her request.

Twilight smiles as she kisses him before letting him go. "Okay, I have to go and still updated my library. The others might need you later too." She said pushing away from him slightly.

"I hope you are happy with the package Minerva has for you." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, thanks for that. I really needed some new foreign books. But I will be needing something else soon, something entirely different."

"I hoped that hunting down those rare books and novels was worth it to make you happy and don't worry, come wedding night, we will attempt it." Blitz says.

Twilight blows him a kiss. "I'll be waiting for you." She said before floating out.

Blitz smiles and sighs as he turns back to his work. "Okay, now where was I?"

"Master?" Fluttershy calls about a half hour later.

"In here Fluttershy." Blitz calls revving the engine of the speeder bike to hear it.

Fluttershy floats in and flaps her wings over to him. "Master." She stops. "What is that?"

"My speeder bike. It is one of my ways to get around fast." Blitz says nodding as he smiles hearing no problems from it.

Fluttershy stops as she floats over to him. "Anything else you've been missing?"

"Well I just finished maintenance on this, now for either some of the probes or my customized viking." Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks up at the big machine and the little probes sitting on their station. "Okay, I was just coming to ask if you want a session?"

"I would, but you know the old saying, work before play. After all, I need these to make money so I can treat you girls." Blitz says grabbing her and running his hoof along her wing.

Fluttershy moans as she was being held and feels the hoof along the wing. "But also, all work and no play, makes Jack a very dull boy."

"Oh Flutter, after this we will have a lot of time together, besides Fleetfoot is not above doing mares and don't you want to take her for a spin?" Blitz whispers into her ear.

Fluttershy blushes. "Only if you can be there. I want my master to watch it all while others use me."

"Oh, but don't you want to establish a pecking order and dominate her?" Blitz suggests, giving Fluttershy ideas.

Fluttershy smiles. "Maybe I should. Think you can watch while I do it?"

"I will work fast and I will catch it." Blitz says.

Fluttershy licks his neck. "I'll save the best part for you."

"Ok, just don't scar her, ok?" Blitz asks petting her mane.

Fluttershy nods. "Sure, maybe put her within an inch of her life."

"Don't kill her, but make her moan for you and me." Blitz whispers before playfully slapping her flank.

Fluttershy yips. "Master." She moans.

"Just wetting your appetite for your waiting conquest." Blitz whispers.

Fluttershy moans as he pulls her tail and mane at the same time as he kisses her neck. "Master." She moans.

"You want her so badly now, don't you?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy gulps as he lets her go, but not before hitting her in the face. "Ow, master, that feels…good." She said as she holds her face.

"I know, now let me hear you say it." Blitz says as he strokes her wings at their most sensitive parts.

Fluttershy moans. "I…love you…master."

"And?" Blitz asks kissing the spots.

Fluttershy tries to look at him. "I'm…your…slave."

"No Fluttershy, you are one of my lovers. I can never call you my slave. I care too much to do that." Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks at him. "Then what is it? What do you want me to say?"

"You will make her beg for us to go all the way and deny her, for now make her hunger for us." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods. "Yes master. Anything else?"

"Don't call yourself my slave again. If you need to call yourself something, call yourself my mistress. Ok Fluttershy?" Blitz asks stroking her flank.

Fluttershy wiggles her flank as he keeps stroking. "But, how will you treat me badly when we have our sessions? I need a horrible name."

"You can overlook that for pleasure, can't you?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy shakes her head. "The name helps with that."

"We will think of one later, after all, you still have much to teach me don't you?" Blitz asks kissing her.

Fluttershy nods as he kisses her neck. "Yes, and its bitch, whore and slut you can use. Each one worse than the last."

"Ok, time to go dominate Fleetfoot my vampire." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "Yeah, one last domination on me?"

"Oh I wouldn't say that. After all, I might ask you to dominate any of the other mares." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Fluttershy blushes. "I meant one last treat for the road, master."

Blitz sighs as he grabs by the mane and turns her onto her back on the ground and then hits her in the face a few times as she cries out in bliss with every hit before biting her neck and licking it and lifts her up at the same time and then let's her go. "How's that?"

"You are getting better all the time." Fluttershy says.

"I know, now go get you're…which word would be better, victim or prey?" Blitz asks confused.

Fluttershy grins. "In our case, victim. Now if I'm free to go master?"

"One last thing. Go full vampire and let no one see you spirit her away to your room." Blitz says smiling before kissing her neck where he left a small bite mark.

Fluttershy giggles. "Any other last requests or am I free to go master?"

"Stay beautiful, that's all." Blitz says.

Fluttershy blushes heavily. "Thank you master. I can go now, right? I need permission."

"Yes you may. Remember, no matter how much she begs for it, don't go all the way or scar her in any way." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods. "Okay, I'll do that. Just remember, with me, you have to order me just like those computers you have. You need to give me permission to do things."

"Ok, I give you permission to keep being sexy." Blitz jokes with her.

Fluttershy giggles. "Oh master. Well, I have to go and capture our victim. And I can see you like our mini session. Later." She said looking under him before leaving.

Blitz looks down at himself and sees the little bulge under his clothing and groans. "I can't believe I got off on that. But right now, for you little guys." Blitz goes over to the probes before donning special goggles and starts working.

"Blitzy." Applejack calls as she comes in while carrying a plastic case.

"Over here. Seriously, are all my mares need something from me at the same time?" Blitz whispers the last part to himself as he starts on the fifth probe.

Applejack floats on over. "Thought you might be hungry. I've already fed everypony except Fluttershy and Fleetfoot. Can't find those two."

Blitz smiles as he sees the show on his one way goggles. "I'm sure they're just resting. What da make?"


Meanwhile in Fluttershy's room

Fluttershy chuckles as she wears the strapon and still carrying the whip. "So…what did you want?"

"Let me out of here." Fleetfoot barely manages to say as she was tied down and had already been stripped of her uniform and had welts all over her, but mostly on her flank and in between her hindlegs.

Fluttershy clicks her tongue as she shakes her head. "I can't do that. You see, my master really wants you to beg for us and keep begging. And when it comes to it, we will torture you to wetness. Of course, you have been through so much. Do you still want this?" She asks while poking her with her rather large strapon.

Fleetfoot tries to struggle against her bindings as she tries to look away from Fluttershy's eyes, but they were so hypnotic.

Fluttershy steps close to her as she brings the strapon close to her face, never letting her now red eyes out of Fleetfoot's sight. "You want it, you want to be in bliss and pleasure, you want to like it and never let it go, you even want the real thing, all hard and throbbing with pleasure to come for you including the heat afterwards, but you must say it, say it with me…" Fluttershy says to her as Fleetfoot's mouth started to mirror hers. "I want it." They both said.

"You are starting to get so wet from just looking at me. Your eyes watching every part of me. You love the idea of being with another mare, but you are disgusted at the thought of being with a stallion, except for the one you crave the most. Our master, Apple Blitzkrieg." Fluttershy says. Fleetfoot nods dumbly as she drools and a puddle starts to form around her. Fluttershy smirks and pokes the strapon on her muzzle. "Do you want it?" She asks simply.

"I…I…I…I…" Fleetfoot kept repeating as if struggling against the trance.

Fluttershy sighs and bends down and brings her eyes close to Fleetfoot's. "You like the pleasure and you want it for the rest of your life, every second, every day, every waking moment. You want to be filled to the brim with everything and everyone. Anything to get pleasure. Especially your master, but only when he or I want you to. Now…" Fluttershy said getting back up and putting the strapon on her muzzle. "Do you want it?"

Fleetfoot does nothing for a bit before trying to suck on it. Fluttershy grins as she pulls it away. "Sorry, but you gotta beg for it, beg. You know what, how about this?" She said before plunging it into her mouth all the way and started to thrust into it. "Oh yeah, you're just a tool, a cock sleeve for my master to use and nothing else. You will get pleasure, but only if he says it or I do, you will listen to everything he says. If I say something and he says differently, you will listen to him, pleasure him to your last breath. You live to give pleasure to him and only him while almost having none yourself. Now, I'll get my pleasure and you'll beg for your release." She moans out, happily listening to the gluking sounds from Fleetfoot's throat as Fleetfoot moans whorishly around the fake cock.


Blitz just finished eating with Applejack. "Thanks Jackie." Blitz says laying his head in her lap.

Applejack smiles as she pets his head. "No problem Blitzy, but why are still wearing these?" She asks taking the goggles off.

"Those help me do maintenance on the probes." Blitz says as Applejack puts them on and starts seeing an alien like language with many numbers.

Applejack shrugs. "Huh, okay, it's not like I can understand…wait." She said bringing up her leg and showing the orange computer. "Let's try this." She said to herself, hitting a few things.

Blitz starts to sweat. "Um…Jackie, I kinda needs those to work now. I gotta get these done." He said reaching for them.

Applejack smiles as she moves her head out of the way. "Got it." She said, hitting the last button and all the symbols started to change and form the language she can understand. "There that's…what's that?" She asks seeing a screen.

Blitz really sweats now. "That's nothing." He said, quickly reaching up, but Applejack dodges it.

Applejack smirks. "What are you hidi…whoa. Blitzy, I didn't know you into that." She said seeing the camera in Fluttershy's room and the scene playing out.

"Actually, that is Fluttershy and you now know where Fluttershy went." Blitz says, thankful that the goggles didn't have audio.

Applejack shrugs and takes it off. "Yeah, she would be the type to have that. Here." She said giving it to him. "Now tell me, what are you going to give me in return?"

"I don't really know." Blitz says after thinking, putting back on the goggles.

Applejack smiles. "Well, you got until wedding night to think of something."

"Yeah, so Jackie what was in the mail? You have seemed a little distracted since you read it." Blitz says.

"Well, I got a letter from our distant cousin, Fiddly Faddle." Applejack says.

"Wait, isn't she the blue maned earth pony who plays the violin?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Yep, she is. Anyways it seems complications have arose and she won't be able to come to Ponyville to help another one of her cousin's who isn't exactly kin to us." Applejack starts.

"Got it, her extended family." Blitz says.

"Yeah and well, she is asking if we can help her, but me and Big Mac don't have the time and Apple Bloom is a little too young so…" Applejack trails off.

"You want me to help her?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Oh yeah, you kinda have the experience with being an outcast, no offence."

"Ok, I'll go help her cousin, just give me the address." Blitz says.

Applejack types a few things on her orange computer. "You know, Minerva still hasn't given me the name for these things. It's sent to the ship, ready for you to take anywhere."

"Communicators." Blitz says.

Minerva pops up on her orange hologram in a screen. "Omnitool for the thing she's wearing, but it's not a communicator, it's actually a wearable computer."

"Wait, you gave her an omnitool? Tell me you gave her detailed instructions and how to use it." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "What do you take me for, a fool? I taught them the basics and they learned the rest. And as soon as the other mares get acquainted with the ship, then I'll give them theirs."

"So Jackie, you looking forward to that day?" Blitz asks leaning against her before kissing her ear as Minerva disappeared.

Applejack blushes. "Yeah, I wonder how the family will react when I'm marrying my own cousin, by adoption of course."

"I don't think they will mind." Blitz says rubbing her shoulders now.

Applejack moans as she feels some pressure being lifted. "You sure, we have been getting those slurs?"

"Not from the family and they don't understand how far we are apart in the family tree." Blitz says kissing the back of her neck.

Applejack breathes in she tries to guide him. "Yeah, yeah yer right. But where are we going to go now that we here all know there's more out there?"

"Nowhere for now Jackie. You might have learned a few things, but not nearly enough to survive out in the galaxy just yet." Blitz says before pulling her to the ground on top of himself.

Applejack smiles as she runs a hoof down his chest. "Yeah, so how long until we're ready?"

"Twilight is arranging that, so you got to ask her." Blitz says before kissing her. "So, am I improving?" Blitz asks after breaking the kiss.

Applejack smiles as she lays her head down onto his chest. "You tell me, does it feel like we're getting closer?"

"Yeah, it does." Blitz says before kissing her again.

Applejack moans a bit before pushing him away. "Whoa there lover boy. Save all that energy for the wedding and the night of it."

"Just giving you a taste and teasing you with it. After all, you tied me up and took me to your home twice." Blitz says smirking.

Applejack snorts a puff of air at him. "Just keep this engorged until wedding night." She said while slowly rubbing a certain part of him.

"Don't be so quick Jackie, remember, I'm not used to that and I will be struggling to do that on the wedding night. So please don't embarrass me anymore, ok?" He says grabbing her hoof.

Applejack nods. "Sure. Just keep it waiting for us." She said before giving him a kiss and getting up. "Bye now." She said, moving her tail along him as she left.

"Jackie, you forgot something." Blitz says wearing her hat.

Applejack smirks as she grabs her rope that he somehow didn't notice and grabs it off of him as she puts the rope away. "You still got a lot to learn about me." She said as she walked away.

"Oh, is that why your flank is reserved for me?" Blitz asks a little surprised at himself for being so forward.

Applejack grins as she shakes her flank at him while moving her tail out of the way. "All yours."

"Yeah, you keep teasing me." Blitz says going back to work.

Blitz sighs as he wiped his head from the sweat as he looks over the probes. "There we are, upgraded and ready to go." He then turns to the viking mech with a grin. "Your turn."

"Oh Blitz." Spitfire calls.

Blitz, in the cockpit, hears her and groans a bit. "In here!" He calls leaving the hatch open.

Spitfire looks around and spots him in a machine. "What's that?" She asked as she went to him.

"My Viking mech. I only bring her down if I need some serious firepower." Blitz says testing a few controls.

Spitfire smiles as she looks inside the cockpit. "Nice mech, how tough is it?"

"The princesses would have a tough time facing it, I would think, though it lacks the firepower of a Thor, but makes up for it with the ability to transform into an aircraft." Blitz says having it turn to the right.

Spitfire comes inside the cockpit and stays above him. "Well that's cool, so how fast would it be if it transformed?"

"From aircraft to ground mode or vice versa?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire shrugs. "Both."

"From aircraft to ground in midair: 3.5 seconds. From ground to aircraft: 7 seconds because it has to use boosters to lift off the ground." Blitz says as Spitfire pushes against the roof of the cockpit and lands in his lap.

Spitfire smiles as she wraps her hooves around his neck. "And when it's flying?"

"You or it?" Blitz asks as she snuggled into him.

Spitfire chuckles. "It, silly." She said as she nuzzles him.

"Could have fool me seeing as how quick you moved in on me." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs and sits up again. "You know, we are alone here." She said as she rubs his shoulders and hikes her tail out of the way. "We could some have fun." She said rather sultry.

"Sorry, but I am a Mandalorian and we follow a strict code and it is quite specific that I wait until after the wedding. Also, careful with throwing that around so carelessly. Fluttershy caught wind of Fleetfoot doing that with me and now she is 'educating' her." Blitz warns as he places his hooves on her hips.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "Huh, so that's where she went. Oh well, I could still do this." She said before turning her head to the side and licks his neck and brings her flank up a little.

Blitz moans a little as he moves one of his hooves up to try to stop her, but was getting a surprise. "Blitz, you won't believe it, we have…I…ah…whoa…ye…yeow…wow…I can come back later." Minerva said as she appeared in the cockpit viewer on the screen in front of Blitz and got half a view of Spitfire's ass while seeing the action up top.

"Spi…Spitfire, stop for a moment." Blitz struggles before turning to Minerva. "Ok, please continue." Blitz says.

Minerva still looks to Spitfire's ass while trying to talk. "Um…well, do you know of the planet, E.D.N. III?"

"Refresh my memory." Blitz says as Spitfire brings her flank down to sitting on Blitz's lap.

Minerva coughs to regain her attention on him again. "Well it's the ice planet that runs on thermal energy as an energy source and kinda run by a corrupt corporation which was stopped by these snow pirates. Remember?"

"Oh yeah, I have heard of it, but never have or planning to go there." Blitz says.

Minerva then smiles. "You won't have to. They had a trading site open for a long time since they drove the corporation out of the planet, but it never open their trading lines. But I have been keeping an eye on it for a reason. Their weapons, energy, tech, suits and most of all, mechs. And I have been keeping an eye on one." She said a picture of a mech appeared on screen. "The PTX-40A, the most badass of all mechs. The owners of this thing died out and the last fight it was in was against a mech that takes energy from radio waves. So they took that and placed it into the PTX. Just think of what we can do, especially since it can transform into a flying mech while looking cool, it's collection system for energy and, if we upgrade, materials and minerals, the standard weapons like mini machine gun and chainsaw and of course, but it now also comes with, instead of a gatling gun, two EMF blades and a vulcan laser, it comes with a regenerative arm glove for the pilot to wear and use on himself and the mech and its run on the energy the mech collects."

Blitz waited a few moments before speaking again. "Permission granted, buy it now."

Minerva giggles in a high pitch voice, as she jumps in place really fast. "You won't regret it and I'll look up what upgrades we can get and I'll start with the collection system." She said before signing off. Then she came back on. "Oh, by the way, nice ass." She said.

"How about first modifying it to where I can pilot it?" Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. "Already got a plan in the works, they just need your body type and how big you can get and they'll change it. Luckily…" She said showing a picture of him with measurements.

"You already have the data." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Yep, I'll send it to them and max out the upgrades on the collection system and we'll see from there."

"Send a copy of the schematics to Mandalore and we can write it off as a business expense." Blitz says his hoof wrapping around Spitfire's flank as he rubs it.

Minerva shakes her head. "Don't need to, you know how the income we get is strangely lower than usual?"

"Why?" Blitz asks suspiciously.

Minerva grins. "I was placing the missing credits into a savings account under your name. And we actually have enough. Started it when you started your job and got your first pay."

"So that's why I barely had any credits left over after you bought your body." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "Just be happy, they had this inventory open for a long time, since you've started working in your life. I knew that if we passed it to the Mandalorians we would have to give it to them when they called for it, but if you get it under your own name and money then…" She said smiling.

"Just don't start thinking of cheating the clans and still, send the schematics, it will at least get us in better graces with the engineers and the more warmongering of the clans." Blitz says.

Minerva groans. "Fine. Have fun you two." She said before signing off.

"Maybe we can talk them into sending us some upgrades for the Darkstar One." Blitz says causing her to come back and looks at him starry eyed.

Minerva keeps looking at him. "Really, can we…upgrade the collection system on this? We can finally become an exporter for the minerals and everything, get some free credits?"

"Yes, if you send the schematics to them." Blitz says.

Minerva keeps looking at him. "Okay, I'll send it." She said finally.

"Good girl." Blitz says.

Minerva glares at him. "I'm not a dog."

"No, you're one of my girls." Blitz says smirking.

Minerva sighs. "You need anything else on either the PTX or the ship, any upgrades? Especially since the PTX chainsaw can cut almost anything along with the EMF blades."

"Just go over the inventory and let me know what we have later, ok?" Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. "Yeah, you got it." She then stares back at Spitfire's ass again. "Huh, no wonder he likes that."

"Hey, I got other qualities." Spitfire says wrapping her wings around Blitz.

Minerva smirks. "Yeah, considering the size of your front assets, size DD, am I right?"

"My wingspan is E size, thank you very much." Spitfire says.

Minerva giggles. "I said front, your wings is your back."

Spitfire and Blitz just looked confused.

Minerva smiles until she lifts herself up and shows herself down low under where her stomach should be. "These things." She said pointing at the metal nipples.

"Huh, what do those have to do with anything? Those are for a mare to feed their foals." Spitfire says.

Minerva sits back down and smirks. "Because a stallion can look at it while it jiggles up and down when you do it and yours is size DD, I looked up your file."

"Minerva, could you check our flamethrower fuel reserves?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. "I know when to take a hint. Bye now." She said before signing off again.

"Let's see. Hum, seems that the number five motor control in the right leg isn't responding." Blitz says looking at a screen to the side.

Spitfire shakes her head before making him turn his head at her and leans back and spreads her legs. "Is what she said true?"

"I don't look at those, besides, why would I look there when this is far more preferable?" Blitz says looking her in the eyes.

Spitfire smiles. "Just tell me, do you like them?" She said while shaking herself a little, making them jiggle.

"They are not undesirable to me, but I don't look to them. They are a bonus." Blitz says lifting her up with his magic so he could get out.

Spitfire watches as he gets out. "And what are going to watch the most when we do it?"

"Your beautiful muzzle." Blitz says moving to the right leg of the Viking.

Spitfire clicks her tongue. "Really? This thing," She said pointing to her muzzle. "Is better than this?" She now said pointing to her eyes.

"No, because they are one in the same. Now you might want to get some distance as this could get messy." Blitz says bringing over this tools to start working on the leg.

Spitfire sighs as she starts to float away. "I'll see you later. Need to finalize my paperwork on me going away." Spitfire says before Blitz gets shocked and is thrown into the wall beside her.

"Ow. Should have shut that off first." Blitz says licking his hoof and using it to extinguish the small flame in his mane.

Spitfire smiles and moves to him. "Guess what, we do have something in common in appearance."

"The wild style?" Blitz jokes.

Spitfire giggles. "I was going to say fiery mane, but that works too." She said before kissing him and gets a jolt.

"Now you see why I wanted you to move back right?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire still feels the spark in her mane. "Wow, that's what I call a kiss. Think you can electrify me on our wedding night?"

"I'll consider it. No promises though." Blitz says pushing off back the Viking.

Spitfire sighs as she watches him fly off, especially his flank. "Can I join you in some private time later, maybe have some fun?"

"You got to wait for the wedding Spitfire." Blitz calls.

Spitfire chuckles. "I meant, maybe a shower together?"

"Remember Fluttershy, Spitfire, you don't want to get educated by her like Fleetfoot is being." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "I meant just being held in there, just…holding you, is enough."

"We shall see. I am going to need one when I'm done though." Blitz calls.

Spitfire nods and floats out. "I'll see you later." She said while flicking her tail at him.

Blitz sighs as he hits the tester and finds all green on the screen. "Finally. All done." He said sitting back in his seat after about two hours of working.

"Blitz, you in here?" Rainbow calls.

Blitz leans his head into the seat and closes his eyes. 'Might as well.' "Yeah, in here."

Rainbow floats over and looks into the cockpit and sees him looking like he's asleep. "You okay?" She asks floating in.

"Yeah, just tired. I get really worn out quickly when I do maintenance for around five hours straight." Blitz says.

Rainbow painfully smiles as she floats onto him and wraps her legs around him. "Want to head to your room or rest here for a bit?"

"I got to hit the shower first I got grease all over my hooves and my face and I'm covered in sweet." Blitz says leaning on her shoulder.

Rainbow almost laughs. "Want me to lead you there?"

"Sure, I'm also might need some help bathing in this condition." Blitz says almost nodding off.

Rainbow smiles. "I can help with that, need some others though." She lifts him out of the seat and starts to guide him through the ship. "Daring, Spitfire, need a hoof with him." She calls out as she passes the common area.

Moments later, the two pegasus come down the hall. "Whoa, he looks wiped." Daring says.

Rainbow smiles as she starts to lead them all to his room. "Yeah, that's what happens when you're working for five hours straight. Right, Blitz?"

"Yeah, it is." Blitz says.

"And the fact you haven't slept in three days. Have you been using those things again?" Daring adds.

"No, I use that to help me sleep." Blitz says.

Daring frowns. "When I'm around, no matter what, you do not use those. Promise?"

"I haven't used them in months since you told me to stop." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "Good." She said before opening his door and leading them to the shower. After Rainbow and Spitfire brought him in, they all started to hit the ground. "What?"

"I turned on the gravity for you." Minerva said. "Happy bathing."

"Thanks. Come on lover boy, time for a shower." Rainbow says taking off his clothes as Spitfire messes with the controls of the shower and Daring undresses.

Blitz smiles as he tries to look at them. "Thanks for this girls."

"Save your strength lover boy, we want you awake when the shower is over." Spitfire says, booping his nose.

Blitz chuckles as the shower comes on and they start to get wet whole Blitz just becomes a mess of fluids from the machines. "Wow, that's a lot." Daring said, grabbing a sponge.

"Yeah, had to inspect and replace a lot of parts in my Viking mech." Blitz says.

Rainbow smiles as she starts to scrub him down after Spitfire places some soap on him and lathers him up while Daring and Rainbow follow behind. "Do you have to do anything else still?"

"No, all caught up now. Really should think about either hiring an engineer or get one of the clan to join my team." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "So when you said clan back when we met, it wasn't a fluke?"

"Yeah, I am a Mandalorian and belong to the Fett clan which ironically translates into farmers." Blitz says.

Rainbow laughs. "You and Applejack would have definitely gotten together first."

"And the warrior leader of all the clans, Mandalore, is the head of my clan, who also snapped the neck of the last one who made fun of our clan's name." Blitz says.

Spitfire shakes her head. "Is there anything not crazy about you?"

"My good looks count?" Blitz asks.

Every one of the mares laughs or giggles a little. "Anything else you can say?" Rainbow asks.

"Hope you girls like to be fluff balls at the end of this." Blitz says puzzling them.

Daring shrugs as she mounts him backwards and over his face and starts to scrub his chest. "Like the view?"

"I'll leave my answer up to your imagination." Blitz says as she stares at the three scars on his chest.

Daring gets off of him and just lightly touched the scars. "How come these haven't disappeared?"

"They won't simply go away. They are scars of a mortal wound. If I didn't have access to what most consider sci-fi medical treatment, I would be dead." Blitz says.

They all stop and look to him. "Minerva, what did you have to do?" Rainbow asks.

"Surgery. A very delicate surgery." Minerva says over the intercom in the bathroom.

All the mares start to lightly touch the scars. "And how much time did it take?" Spitfire asks.

"Well the best medical term I can think of is it was touch and go for eight hours before he stabilized. He lost a lot of blood along with those injuries from Bloody Mary." Minerva answered.

Daring painfully smiles as she sits down and places his head on her lap before starting to scrub his head. "At least you're okay."

"Yeah and to make sure she can't come back, I threw her ashes into the sun." Blitz says smiling.

Rainbow smiles as she starts to scrub again and starts moving downward. "It was kind of cool watching that vase float into the sun."

"I thought the rumors of you slaying Bloody Mary were only rumors." Spitfire says.

Blitz smirks and points to his scars. "Then what's this?"

"Like I said, I thought they were only rumors till a buddy of mine in the night guard told me he was there and watched her burn to death in the sun, but it was two hours early to boot." Spitfire says scrubbing his chest.

Rainbow smirks as she starts to scrub his lower half. "Think, who can make the sun come up early?"

"Yeah, yeah, I owe the princesses one." Blitz says starting to lose focus.

Rainbow grins as she lose the sponge and starts rubbing him with a hoof. "Stay awake our stallion, we need you awake."

"No, no, Rainbow, you're doing it all wrong. Spitfire, please smack his head." Minerva says.

Rainbow giggles as she keeps stroking him while Spitfire hits him hard, waking him up. "What the heck?! Who's…?" He looks to who's rubbing him. "Um…Rainbow…c…can you stop?" He groans out.

"Ok, just trying to keep you awake." She says innocently.

Blitz groans. "You're…still doing…it."

Rainbow sighs and stops and keeps scrubbing, leaving him hanging out in the open. "Fine, you look really big though, not even all the way yet."

"Not talking about it." Blitz says annoyed through his teeth.

Spitfire smirks. "It's always the quiet one." She said eyeing it as it twitches.

"Do I need to call Fluttershy and ask her to 'educate' you?" Blitz asks.

"No need." A voice said from outside the shower, which makes them look over and see Fluttershy with Fleetfoot bowing low next to her with a collar around her neck and too many red marks and covered in something. "I finished up and I just need to wipe her down. But look what I found, three mares who's molesting my master. Slut, don't you have something to do?" She asks Fleetfoot.

"No mistress. You haven't given me permission." Fleetfoot says in a hypnotized voice.

"Fluttershy, they aren't molesting me, they are helping take a shower as I'm really tired." Blitz says, nearly nodding off.

Fluttershy smiles. "Good, I would've have to do the same to you all. Master, enjoy your new pet to have and use. You need anything else?"

"Um…how about you help us finish him up Fluttershy?" Rainbow asks hoping to avoid what happened to Fleetfoot.

Fluttershy grins. "Master?"

"Do whatever you want." Blitz says nearly nodding off again.

Fluttershy nods and turns to Fleetfoot. "Come out of this my pet." Fluttershy says taking off the collar causing Fleetfoot to shake her head.

"What happened?" Fleetfoot asks holding her head.

Fluttershy smirks as she wraps her pensile tail around her. "You were under my control, disobey and you will deal with me or our master."

"What?" Fleetfoot asks alarmed.

Fluttershy suddenly hoists her up after grabbing her by the neck, but keeping her from choking. "You're mine and our master's pet, listen to what we say and maybe we would give you what you want."

"Fluttershy, that's enough, you going to help or not?" Blitz asks causing Fluttershy to do a one eighty and drop Fleetfoot and walks over to Blitz smiling as she joins the shower.

Fluttershy sits between his legs and grabs a sponge before scrubbing his legs. "Better?" She asks sweetly.

"Thank you." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks a bit scared. "Pet?" She asks while shaking slightly.

"Fleetfoot, please come here." Blitz requests nicely.

Fleetfoot gains a faraway look before shaking herself. "Yes master." She said before placing her hooves over her mouth. "What the…?" Blitz waits till she walks over before giving her a hug. "What happened?" She asks.

Blitz smiles a bit. "Fluttershy placed a thought into you. You have to listen to us without question and I'm the overrider as well, right?" He asks Fluttershy.

Fluttershy nods. "Yes, if I give an order and you give another order. She will listen to you all the time. Even if it contradicts me."

"So um…" Fleetfoot starts.

"It won't affect you away from us, right?" Blitz asks Fluttershy.

Fluttershy shakes her head. "No, the ordering only happens if we ask her when she's with us. She will look hypnotized, but it will wear off and she will do the order. Anything you ask her to do."

"Oh? Fleetfoot tell me about these so called lesbian experiences you had in boot camp." Blitz says more awake now and has a grin as Spitfire freezes.

Fleetfoot freezes up before shaking herself again. "Well I was about to graduate and was only a month away when Spitfire called me to her office. Her guards wasn't there so she took the chance to pin me the desk and rub against me. She must have been really pent up. After that, she took every chance to get me in my bed and soon in her bed. As we neared the end of the month, we were sleeping together like a married couple."

"My, my, Spitfire, I had no idea you were so adventurous." Blitz says rubbing against her a bit.

Spitfire presses her lips together. "I was lonely and needed some help. Fleetfoot was a shoo in to get in so I decided to have fun with her." She said as she wiggles her hips. "I was trying to get rid of the trouble I was feeling." She said as something other than water fell from in between her legs.

"Well don't worry, you won't feel that way anymore." Blitz says.

Spitfire still moves her hips around. "I know."

"Alright, I think its Fleetfoot's turn." Blitz says as he lets himself be rinsed off.

Fleetfoot groans as she feels something running along her flank. "Mistress." She moans out.

"Fluttershy, help her get washed, don't torture her." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles as she brings her tail in front of her. "And what about you master, don't you need help?"

"No I'm good. The grease and sweat are off me." Blitz says as the other mares start working on themselves.

Fluttershy smirks as she waved her tail on him. "I meant this." She asks, rubbing him with her tail.

"I'm sure I barely have the strength to stand right now." Blitz says leaning against her bat wings.

Fluttershy smiles as she leans her head against him. "You want to be treated?"

"No, save it for the wedding night." Blitz says smiling.

Fluttershy grins as she licks him. "Oh master, what are you planning to do?"

"What do you think?" Blitz says.

Fluttershy licks her lips as she leans down to his waist. "Everything that abuses me and makes things painful for normal mares used on me."

"I was thinking we try the old fashioned way first." Blitz says.

Fluttershy drools more as she keeps licking her lips as she reached her prize. "Then will you abuse me?"

"We shall see what happens after that. After all…" Blitz wasn't able to finish as Fluttershy heard soft snoring.

Fluttershy sighs and looks up to see Blitz asleep against her wing. "Let's get him to bed." She said holding him.

"Yeah I think we are finished." Fleetfoot says after she had managed to scrub herself good.

"Roger, beginning drying." Minerva says.

The dyer suddenly came on and a huge gust of air blew out from below them and once it was finished did their hair turned them into puffballs. "Huh, so that's what he meant."

"Hey Blitz, are you in here, I wanted to…" Twilight starts, but stops, trying to contain her laughter.

Rainbow glares at her. "Shut up, just shut up."

"Sporting a new look for the wonderbolts?" Applejack, who was right behind her, jokes, barely containing her laughter.

Spitfire and Daring just throws their sponges at them.

They keep laughing till they see Fluttershy carrying a sleeping Blitz to the bed. Fluttershy smiles as she places Blitz on the bed and cover him up. "Who wants to sleep with him tonight?"

The other six mares in the room share a glance and check the size of the bed, but before any could make a move Spitfire sigh. "We can't, as we have to return to the academy." She says.

Fluttershy nods. "Fleetfoot, you are free to go, for now. Rainbow, Twilight?" Fluttershy asks only to see them gone. Looking back to Blitz, she sees them already in the bed. Fluttershy smiles and gets into bed too and lays right on top of him. "Good night master, night girls."

"I will see y'all later. I go to get back to the farm. Got to start bringing in the last crop before winter sets in." Applejack says.

They just wave her off as the lights dim down.

As they start to fall asleep, they hear an annoying beeping. The three glare at the source which was an alarm clock. When they were about to get up, Twilight notices a blaster pistol rising from beneath the bed covered in a golden yellow aura before it starts firing, silencing the alarm.

"Night girls." Blitz said as he nuzzles their heads.

"Night." They whispered as Twilight grabbed the blaster pistol with her magic and places it facing away from them on the bed side table.

Twilight smiles as she places her head on his shoulder. "You're improving Blitz."

"Actually, that is the twenty fifth alarm clock to meet that same fate." Blitz says.

They all laugh as they giggle before Fluttershy gasp. "Oh master." She moans out while moving her flank on him.

"What is it Fluttershy?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy smiles as she keeps moving her flank up and down on him. "It's growing."

"Stop Fluttershy." Blitz says.

Fluttershy licks her lips. "It came out on its own before it touched me. Your fault." She said still moving.

"Fluttershy, I said stop." Blitz says with authority in his voice as he opens an eye to look at her.

Fluttershy stops as she sees him looking and looks down. "Yes master." 'He didn't like it.' She thought, covering her face slightly.

"Save it for the wedding night." Blitz says bringing her head close to him and closes his eye again.

Fluttershy whimpers. "Yes master."

"Now sleep and look forward to that night my vampire." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Fluttershy whimpers. "Master?"

"I must follow my code to the letter Fluttershy, but it doesn't mean I disliked it, but I also have to ease into this." Blitz whispers into her ear before shifting so he could hold the other two mares in his bed.

Fluttershy nods as she tries to find a good spot. "Does this mean I can keep doing this?"

"Yes you can, when we have nothing going on." Blitz says taking his hoof of her to pet her mane.

Fluttershy purrs. "Okay, do you like your new pet?"

Blitz kisses her forehead. "Go to sleep." Blitz says.

'Ah, don't want to say anything in front of Rainbow or Twilight huh master?' Fluttershy thinks.

Blitz chuckles and leans in close to her ear before giving it a bite. "Love it." He whispered before leaning his head back down and going to sleep.


The next afternoon, Blitz was standing in front of a house wearing his usual clothes and a pair of mirrored sunglasses. "Ok, this should be the place according to the address we were sent." Blitz says before knocking on the door.

"Coming." A voice said inside before the door opens. "Hello, can I help you?" A mare asks.

"Um…yes, are you Miss Octavia?" Blitz asks looking at the envelope.

Octavia nods. "Yes, what do you need?"

"Yes, unfortunately your cousin Fiddly Faddle couldn't make it for some reason so she asked her extended family on her mother's side here in Ponyville to help you out." Blitz says.

Octavia looks a bit surprised. "Fiddly, but…Vinyl, I'm heading out for a bit." She calls back inside.

"Yeah, sorry about her not being able to make it." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs as she closes the door. "Its okay, her life has been hectic at times. Mostly trying to deal with that husband of hers."

"Oh she got married?" Blitz asks.

Octavia nods and they start to walk. "Most don't know, but she married a pony from Manehatten, she's the Apple of the family."

"There is a joke in that statement somewhere. I just don't know where." Blitz says.

Octavia frowns. "The problem lies with that husband of hers. She has a foal now and she can barely leave the city. I and Vinyl tried for a long time to get her out, Vinyl using her underground connections when she does gigs there and me using my high society ones. We can't get close though."

"Ah so you don't really need help, you just want her to get out of the house for a while?" Blitz asks.

Octavia shakes her head. "No, get her out and away from bastard of a stallion. The reason we can't touch him is because he's a new politician in the city who is in with good graces of everypony."

"So why is he a bastard?" Blitz asks.

Octavia snorts. "You've heard of how great stallions keep bringing their lovers flowers and everything, just to make up?"

"Not really." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs. "This is why." She said reaching into her collar and pulling out a folded piece of photo. "She sent me these after she almost couldn't make it last time."

"Let's see." Blitz says taking the photo and looks it over. On it he can see a mare who looks badly hurt while in some kind of high end bathroom and holding camera, presumably to take the picture herself.

"She took that when he was out for a bit and quickly made the neighbor mail it to me. If she sent it to her parents or the authorities it would have been worse since they wouldn't believe her. Have a great stallion on the outside and he can be anything on the inside." Octavia said.

"I see. Well I think I'm going to be paying somepony a visit soon." Blitz says.

Octavia glares at him. "You can't harm him or leave any trace of her missing. If he finds out, he will blame you for kidnapping and it's not going to matter how famous and good you are, heck your mares won't be allowed to marry if it happens. He can make many things happened."

"And I work in internal affairs and I'm friends with many high ranking ponies and many more owe me favors. I also can make him disappear easily." Blitz says seriously.

Octavia sighs. "She has a foal to, get the little tyke out as well with her and bring them to us. We'll be able to protect her once she's here."

"Gotcha. So Octavia what rank is he and his name?" Blitz asks.

Octavia looks to him. "He's only second in line from the mayor and his name is Secure Star."

"I see. I'll see you in a few days so don't worry your pretty head over this. Just prepare a room for her and the foal." Blitz says.

Octavia nods. "Be careful, his reach may be far more than we know."

"Trust me, it's not as far as he thinks." Blitz says walking away.

Octavia watches as he leaves. "Be careful."

Blitz sighs. "Minerva, we're going on a little road trip."

"I heard, should I arrange a meeting with the princesses and the mob?" Minerva asks.

"Ask to see the Godfather specifically." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles. "Sure thing, just don't have us find a head in our bed."

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says disappearing.


Celestia was signing papers in her office when the open balcony door suddenly close. "Princess Celestia, a word." Blitz says as he becomes visible in his blue aerial armor.

Celestia stops mid writing. "Cross, to what do I owe this pleasure of a midnight meeting like a lover stallion?"

"I have come across a corrupt official in your court who I want to move against." Blitz says very businesslike.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "Since when do you want to dabble in politics?"

"Since this is a personal request from Blitzkrieg whose distant relative is married to him." Blitz says.

Celestia sighs. "Okay, what is it?"

"Secure Star. I believe you know his rap sheet as it involves being suspected to being linked to some of your royal guards' deaths along with a few other officials, but nothing has ever been proven." Blitz says.

Celestia huffs. "Money and power can make anything disappear."

"So are you willing to aid me in cutting off this snake?" Blitz asks.

Celestia smiles a bit. "We just need a lot of dirt on him, something that we can never get."

"I can provide this, but for my plan to start, you will have to make Blitzkrieg a part of your internal affairs." Blitz says.

Celestia sighs. "Okay, just don't make too much noise."

"Oh don't worry. I will be discreet, just be ready to counter any attempts he tries to blame Blitzkrieg and be ready to watch and see who his allies are once he is arrested and then move against them." Blitz says.

Celestia nods. "Anything else you need?"

"Nothing else for now." Blitz says walking towards the door, but stops. "Actually, about your latest edict, were you drunk when you released it?" Blitz asks.

Celestia blushes a little. "The guards I needed wasn't here."

"I see." Blitz says disappearing on the balcony.

Celestia blushes a bit more before looking into her drawer and sees the bottle. "Guards, I need assistance." She calls to the outside.


Blitz is waiting in a very nice lounge in a mansion waiting for the godfather to see him. "I can't believe I'm doing this."

"Heh, believe it kid." A stallion said walking up. "Come on, he's ready for you." He said as he walks away with Blitz in the big mansion.

After a while he lets Blitz into an office where Blitz takes a seat and looks at the earth pony sitting it the desk. "Godfather." Blitz politely greets.

The earth pony nods. "Nice to finally see in my office Cross, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I'm here to discuss a mutually beneficial endeavor. I have heard recently a useful pawn has turned his back on you and even threatened to have you eliminated if you dare cross him." Blitz says.

The pony snorts. "Yeah, that's right. What's it to ya?"

"Let's just say an associate doesn't like how he is treating a member of his extended family." Blitz says.

The pony narrows his eyes at him. "Exactly how?"

"His wife. Anyways, even Celestia is had enough of him and is about to move against him. With that, the time is now right to break him in his own game." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "And how do you propose we do that?"

"We both know it is only through your protection he has remained untouchable. Being that way for so long has made him think can't be touched. So I'm asking for you to help by starting to get at him with a sting." Blitz says.

The pony leans forward. "And the sting you want?"

"Let's go with do you think, black market associations or potential slave trader would be better?" Blitz asks.

The pony keeps staring at him until he gets up. "Let's go for a ride."

"As you wish." Blitz says getting up.

The pony and a few others lead him out and surprisingly, Blitz sees a mare among the guards. "If you're wondering, I wanted to make equal opportunity. My daughters want to go into what was once called stallion work, but I allow them so I decided to allow some old bodyguards that are mares and once did guard work." The pony said as they made it underground and found themselves in a garage where a large black covered carriage that looks armored in the metal areas.

"Then they might be some of the most dangerous." Blitz says no hint of joking in his voice as they get in.

The pony chuckles. "Kia?" He said to the mare next to him. Kia nods and throws something into a corner of the garage and a cry rang out. "She's the best at being the quickest in the family."

"And also doesn't look like she could hurt a fly, making others underestimate her." Blitz says.

The pony laughs as the carriage pulls away and into the streets. "Yes, now onto real business. This politician has a wide range of power because of what we stopped for him. Businesses, homes, old rivals, he caught all their assets and pooled them together to fuel his own endeavor."

"Yeah, but what are his greatest assets right now?" Blitz asks.

The pony narrows his eyes and looks out the window which Blitz follows to see a power plant. "This city runs on it, his old rivals, they use to run almost all the plants. Now he owns all of them except one company. It's the only thing keeping him from gaining complete control and a monopoly. I don't even agree with that idea. It kinda makes things boring."

"There it is, his weakness then. That is how to start bringing him down." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "Yes, but you need to do it legally so the city doesn't side with him."

"That is why we create a false opening for him. Make him think he can get it through an illegal means, but our friend from internal affairs is there waiting and he busts him and being on the princess' orders, he can't weasel his way out of it so easily." Blitz says.

The pony smirks. "Where were you when I took over the city?"

"Hunting and killing. But this isn't enough, but it will give them a reason to reopen old cases and for somepony of your ability you would keep some evidence around just in case somepony forgets what they owe you. Then this evidence mysteriously reappears and witnesses who were either scared or bribed into silence start coming forward." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "Yes, but the reason you came here, your ultimate goal?"

"To break him and protect the family of one of my associates. Also to send a message through the underworld you mess with my friends or family I will break you beyond recognition." Blitz says.

The pony chuckles. "Alright, let's get you an idea of what you have to work with." He said as they stop in front of a large building. "This is the capital building. I already scheduled a meeting with him, saying you have some proposition for him."

"I see. So tell me, if I offer him my services in bounty hunting and he sics me on you, how can we best turn that against him?" Blitz asks.

The pony shrugs. "No idea. You have those expertise, but there is one thing he can't resist. Getting a good business deal." He said as a guard gives Blitz a briefcase. "Every single paper you need to make it look real is in there. You are now offering to give the last power plant."

"Understood. Say, what important businesses does he have around here that aren't truly legal? That we can stage a bombing on and give the internal affairs pony an excuse to search it and bust him on that as well?" Blitz asks.

The pony smiles as he turns to the stores across the street. "Over there." He said as Blitz looks over and sees a large shopping section that has many shops and too many ponies. "He owns all the shops there and some of the shops expanding across the city is his as well. Now some of the stores are corrupt, especially with dodging taxes and that's something you can't ever do."

"And any other front for other non-legal businesses?" Blitz asks.

The pony shrugs. "Simply, other things this city needs. Power, you already know, then there is some in water and has some the worst water way past the filtration laws, gas is actually okay, then there is the governmental buildings. He somehow got his hooves on those. Now you see why a lot of ponies fear to go against him?"

"Well, if all else fails, Celestia has issued orders for him to disappear." Blitz says.

The pony sighs. "You better go, the appointment time is getting close." He said as one of the guards opens the door.

"Very well. Also, your boy named Silver Hoof." Blitz says before pulling out a photo of said pony getting a payoff from one of Secure Star's men. "I thought you would want to deal with him personally for the betrayal." Blitz says.

The pony frowns. "Out now."

"Yes sir." Blitz says getting out and walks into the building.


Blitz sits in the office once again. "The deal is set and I also installed something in his office." Blitz says to the Godfather.

The pony nods. "Good, now we just need him to take the fall, problem is he's heading out to a family reunion, from his wife's side. I think everything should still fall for him though."

"Well maybe we can learn something from what I planted in his office." Blitz says putting a device on the desk and turning it on and then the Godfather and Blitz started to hear Secure Star speaking.

"That washed up has been of a Godfather is becoming an eyesore, can't you just bomb his mansion?" Secure Star asks his men in his office.

"Are you kidding? They'll have your ties to him will be found." A pony said.

"Who would dare go against me now?" Secure Star yells.

"The investigators for the reports on how the fire started." Another said.

"Ha, I could bury them." Secure Star says.

"You know boss, I heard that an internal affairs officer is coming." Another one says.

"Let them, he won't find…what?!" Secure Star asks as they hear a door open.

"Boss, bad news, they found some files about your finances that don't add up and are sending a pony to investigate on Celestia's personal authority." A new voice says.

Secure growls. "Dammit, okay find a way to make up the money in those areas and…Fiddle? What do you want?"

They hear Fiddle shuffle a bit. "Honey, we have to get going, the reunion is coming up and we might be late if we wait another day."

SLAP

"Bitch! I know, now leave me to my work and I'll get you to your precious reunion and shut that baby up." Secure yells as they hear a foal crying.

"Boss, what can we do? We can't just move against from internal affairs so openly." The stallion says.

Secure huffs. "We have to hide the missing money, raise the price and place some charges under misc. charges. That should cover the next bill for this month. Now then…" He said as he heard getting up before a shriek comes out. "Come on, we got some business of our own." He said as some dragging is heard.

"You mean we are going to go after the plant now, boss?" The stallion asks.

"Buy it, we're going to need it and do the same thing on those bills. Come on Fiddle, let's have some fun." He said before a door is heard slamming and then cries broke out, muffled.

"Looks like it's time for our internal affairs friend to go there." Blitz says getting up.

The pony nods. "Get it done, you don't treat family like that."

Blitz nods before disappearing.


Blitz, in his normal clothes and mirror sunglasses, waits in hiding with three squads of royal guards and Shining Armor waiting.

"Yes Shining Armor, I have a reliable tip they are coming and no, this isn't a good time to talk about Princess Twilight." Blitz whispers.

Shining glares at him. "Then how much longer?"

"Haven't you ever heard of a stake out, now be quiet, I hear something coming." Blitz hissed.

They all watch as a large carriage pulls up and some ponies flied out. Then the ponies heads to the plant and push some of the ponies of the plant away. "And here comes the deal." Blitz said as a pony comes out that he recognizes as the Godfather's henchpony. They talk for a bit as the ponies give the henchpony some papers and he nods before giving them some papers and some keys.

Blitz makes some signals as Secure walks to the door. The guards all head down as the plant ponies gives the guards some keys and cards as Secure stays by the carriage. "Welcome to your first sting." Blitz said as he gets up and heads down as he sees the carriage and notices two ponies inside. He heads to the carriage and sees Fiddle smiling at her foal playing around. "Mr. Secure, right?" Blitz asks adjusting his hat.

Secure looks to him. "Who wants to know?"

"Internal Affairs." Blitz says as all the guards spring into action crossbows trained on him and his henchponies. "We received an anonymous tip that somepony would be attempting to sabotage and destroy the plant and seeing how you showed up, we must assume it is you." Blitz says.

Secure frowns. "This is just a business deal, nothing else. Why would I, a politician, destroy something this city needs?"

"I don't know, but we will be finding out." Blitz says as the guards start putting the ponies in chains, Secure first.

Secure huffs. "You will regret this, I'll be cleared." He said as a guard takes Fiddle's foal in his hooves and Fiddle was chained up as well.

Blitz scoffs as they were taken away, except for Fiddle and her foal. "You okay?" Blitz asks as the guards released her and gives the foal back to her.

"Yes officer, we are fine." Fiddle says scared.

"Please come with me." Blitz says escorting her to another carriage.

Fiddle shushes the foal in her hooves as she heads into another carriage and they were pulled away. "What's going on?"

"It's been awhile. Nearly twenty years, cousin Fiddle." Blitz says taking off his glasses.

Fiddle looks surprised. "Blitzkrieg?"

"I see you remember me." Blitz says smiling.

Fiddle smiles. "How can I forget the colt who help me play the fiddle?"

"I did?" Blitz asks.

Fiddle giggles. "Well…more like brought the fiddle then rather teach me."

Blitz smiles as the carriage heads down the street. "Yeah, that was my weeks' worth of allowance. Good bye rare comic. Anyway, you hungry? Catch up on the old days and maybe see your family, your real family?"

"What are you doing here?" Fiddle asks.

"Truthfully, working in internal affairs right now and taking you to see your family. Already got a room set for you and this little guy in Ponyville." Blitz says.

Fiddle holds up her little colt to him. "Liner, look, it's your uncle Blitzkrieg." She said as the colt laughs as he reaches for him.

Blitz smiles and grabs the foal. "Hey there." Blitz says.

The foal laughs and hugs him as Fiddle sits by him. "Think you could get something to eat, Liner here is pretty hungry." She said poking his stomach which he giggles at.

"Sure. After all, we are here." Blitz says as the carriage stops and Blitz opens the door to show Ponyville.

Fiddle gaps as she steps out and sees Octavia and Applejack coming over. "Hey cousin." Applejack said as Blitz plays with Liner.

"B…But how?" Fiddle asks.

"I have my ways and friends in the royal guard who constantly used a teleport spell on the carriage." Blitz says poking Liner and playing with him.

Fiddle looks around and sees some of the Apple family of the reunion coming over. "I thought it was tomorrow?"

Applejack smiles. "I told them about what's going on and had some come over early to help you."

Octavia suddenly hugs her. "You don't have to be afraid anymore, we're here now."

"And I, unfortunately, have to get back and continue my investigation." Blitz says giving Liner back to her.

Fiddle looks to him. "Blitzkrieg, thank you for this."

"What's family for?" Blitz asks getting back into the carriage and it teleports away with the driver.

Fiddle smiles as she looks to her family. "So what now?"

"We celebrate." Applejack says.


"Seems the sting went off without a hitch and the cases are being reopened." Blitz says to the Godfather in his office.

The pony laughs. "Was there any doubt? Besides, we now have more control now that he's gone and some of the citizens can finally get some fair prices."

"Yeah, but this is only the opening move. We need to redouble our efforts now that we have an opening to exploit." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "We'll give whatever you need, but only you."

"Understood. What about bombing an empty room in this shop that we know is doing illegal business they can't cover quickly or easily." Blitz says.

The pony smirks. "What store?" He asks before a muffled explosion sounded out and some screams came as well. "Oops, my hoof slipped."

Blitz chuckled a bit. "I like you Godfather, you work quickly and efficiently." Blitz says.

The pony leans back and crosses both his legs and puts them on the desk. "As always."

"Ok, I will slip these into a safe in the building before the investigation starts." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "Get it done quickly, respond time is kinda…" He looks to where Blitz was, but couldn't see him and the guards only shrugs. "Wish I can have that."


"So what are we looking at Armor?" Blitz asks walking in to the crime scene.

Shining throws some papers down. "Tax evasions mostly, but there is some deals not adding up. They either have missing money or they don't exist. And we have been tracking the money and it leads to shell or dummy corporations. This guy is really heavy on corruption." Armor says as they walk.

"We searched everywhere so far?" Blitz asks.

Shining shakes his head. "There are still more coming in, this is just the fifth. Also, he placed hidden charges on the bill of the city services. Changing the city, my flank. There is one hidden charge here that reads 'Leak protection' on their pipes, not the citizens who are getting this. That is actually illegal. Services cannot charge their citizens insurance for their side. They get that from the city and the insurance they charge the citizens is for them."

"What about that safe, we crack it opened?" Blitz asks.

Shining nods. "Yep and boy we stuck gold. Lot of dirty dealings, especially with known black market executives. This guy is done."

"We freeze his assets, yet?" Blitz asks.

Shining chuckles. "Freeze it? The city wants him gone so they cut it off completely and sent the information about all the dealings to us and anything they had under him name. If it's so much as a receipt for groceries, they have it."

"I'm concerned he will try and weasel out of it with his friends. We are watching anypony with influence moving to impede it or hiring lawyers for him?" Blitz asks.

Shining smiles. "We kinda made the mistake of already placing a lawyers from the city for him and all of his associates."

"We have to do that by law. You did tell the lawyer he doesn't have to try, right? That Celestia herself would secretly approve?" Blitz asks.

Shining nods. "Oh yeah, we already told everything to the lawyers."

"Now we have to shut down the illegally acquired companies and businesses and put them on the market." Blitz says.

Shining nods his head to another guard looking over paperwork. "He's working on finding the legal and illegal ones. We should have them all done by tomorrow."

"Also, I put the wife and foal under protection with her family, by the way." Blitz says, handing him a restraining order for Fiddle and Liner on Secure. "I think this will help, don't you?" Blitz asks.

Shining looks it over. "To stay away for…five miles. Wow. This will definitely do."

"Only five, I thought it was filed for a content away?" Blitz says.

Shining chuckles. "Judges for this are different, they need a reasonable distance, but I'm sure he can raise it a few more miles once we show him how much power this guy has."

"Tell him a thousand bits in it for them if they multiply by a hundred." Blitz says.

Shining nods. "I think we can manage that."

"Good, now tell me he is in a cell right now awaiting his trial. His very short trial that will end with him being guilty." Blitz says.

Shining sighs. "He's out on bail. Made it quickly before we could stop the accounts."

"I see, do we at least have his location?" Blitz asks.

Shining glares at some papers before throwing it to him. "Here, he's heading out and guess where."

"He is going where I think he is, forget the trial, I will execute him myself." Blitz says now getting angry.

Shining looks away as he grabs some papers. "Huh, that's weird, he was found mutilated by Timberwolves. Tough life."

"You don't say. I guess my cousin is now a widow…who is entitled to whatever legitimate businesses and money he had." Blitz says pausing in the middle.

Shining smirks a little. "Laws are so easy for accidental deaths."

"Yeah. Well our work here is done. All that is left is for them to sort out the rest." Blitz says.

Shining smiles as he looks over to him with a knowing smile. "What are talking about, we're done?"

"Yeah, now goodbye before you start on about Twilight again." Blitz says teleporting away.

Shining chuckles as he looks to the other guards. "You got the death reports written up, yet?"

"Yes, got it all right here." The guard says.


Fiddle sighs in relief as she feds Liner. "Here you go, eat up." She said while holding some food on her hoof. Liner smiles and takes the food. "Good boy." She said happily as she looks around. "We're going to be fine now Liner. Mean old daddy is not going to hurt us."

Blitz sighs as he walks into the apple family house. "Hi Fiddle and hey little Liner." Blitz greets.

Fiddle smiles as she turns to him. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"I'm staying here mostly and Fiddle, I have news, not sure if it's good or bad for you." Blitz says.

Fiddle looks a bit confused. "What is it?"

"Your husband, after escaping jail, ran for it and was recently found torn apart by timber wolves." Blitz says taking his mirror sunglasses off.

Fiddle nods. "I see, can me and Liner have a moment alone?"

"Ok. I will be outside if you need me." Blitz says.

Fiddle sighs as he leaves and turns to Liner. "Looks like daddy is gone little Liner. Maybe we don't have to…" She stops as she looks behind him and sees something. "I thought…"


Blitz sighs as he stands outside and waits for her. It wasn't the door open did he notice something was wrong and hid. "Hang on Liner, we're going for a long walk." He heard. He looks up and see Secure holding Liner, fussing a bit.

Soon the guards in the area surround him. Blitz walks up to him as he puts his glasses back on and points a blaster at his face as he turn. "Think real hard about your next move." Blitz said.

Secure frowns before throwing Liner up as Liner yelled. Blitz immediately puts the blaster away and reaches for Liner as he fell and Secure ran into the forest. Blitz catches Liner as he turns to his communicator. "Flutter, get your friends in the forest to play with some meat. Minerva, tell Terran to go hunting." He said.

He then turns to Liner. "Let's get you back to mommy." He said before walking back inside and finds Fiddle on the ground. "Are you okay?" He asks as he helped her up.

Fiddle nods as she tries to sit down and holds Liner as Blitz gives him to her. "Yes, where's Secure?"

"Fled into the Everfree forest." Blitz says. 'And about to die.' Blitz thinks.

Fiddle nods as she tries to relax. "Can you stay with us until he's gone?"

"Sure. You are family." Blitz says sitting next to her.

Fiddle sighs as she holds out Liner. "Want to hold him?"

"Sure." Blitz says taking him and he grabs Blitz's mirror sunglasses and puts it on him.

Fiddle giggles as she watches him try to act like him. "He really wants to be his uncle."

"Oh that's adorable." Applejack says walking in.

Blitz shows Applejack Liner. "What do you think? He could be me, right?"

"Give him a few years and he will." Applejack says lying next to him and leans her head against her.

Liner giggles as he tries to make the same faces as Blitz. "Aww, look at him. He really does want to be you." Fiddle said.

"I guess I could teach him what I know when he gets a little older." Blitz says letting him climb on him and Applejack.

Applejack laughs as he grabs her ribbon. "He's a bundle of energy, that one."

"Yes he is." Blitz says before they heard a death scream.

Blitz smiles a bit as he communicator beeps. "Done, I'm sure the reports will match up." Minerva said.

"I think that was your former husband." Blitz says.

Fiddle keeps looking at him before sighing and leaning back in her seat. "So what now?"

"Legally, all his legal businesses and money goes to you." Blitz says.

Fiddle looks surprised to him. "All mine?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

Fiddle looks in front of her as she tries to think. "But…I'm not really in Manehatten that much, mostly in the farms."

"Just hire somepony to run them. You just have to own them to get money to support Liner here." Blitz says.

Fiddle keeps staring. "So…I can still work on the farm and play my shows?"

"Yes you can." Blitz says.

Fiddle looks to them. "So what now?"

"What do you want to do Fiddle?" Blitz asks.

Fiddle looks to Applejack. "Reunion?"

"Reunion starts officially tomorrow. After all, we have to welcome back our long lost relative." Applejack says a hoof snaking around Blitz bringing him closer.

Fiddle looks to Blitz. "Oh yeah, how long has it been?"

"Nearly twenty years." Blitz says.

Fiddle nods. "Yeah, I guess it has been that long. Still, you really changed."

"What, I'm too handsome to handle now?" Blitz jokes.

Fiddle giggles. "Maybe I should consider you for a husband."

"Sorry cuz, I already laid claim." Applejack says smiling as they joke.

Fiddle looks to her. "Really, but isn't he family?"

"Very distant family and he is adopted, so no problems." Applejack says.

"Tell me you saw this coming when we were foals." Blitz says.

Fiddle shakes her head. "Not really, I thought you would go for that electric blue maned unicorn."

"What electric blue maned unicorn?" Blitz asks.

Fiddle thinks for a few. "The one that's a DJ now."

"I'm not sure I know who you are talking about, but I have seen a mare like that in the club though every pony assumed she was a stallion." Blitz says.

Fiddle nods. "Yeah, she kinda is like a stallion."

"I think she has her own style of beauty." Blitz says.

Fiddle nods. "Yeah, though now I have to deal with a lot of paperwork and then there's this little guy." She said poking Liner who laughs.

"Ok Fiddle, I'll see you later." Blitz says putting back on his sunglasses.

Liner whines a bit as he reaches for him.

"Don't worry my nephew, I will be back soon." Blitz says moving in close enough so Liner could touch his nose.

Liner giggles. "Bye, bye."

Blitz smiles. "Bye for now." Blitz says.

Applejack hugs Fiddle as well as Liner. "Bye you two, see you at the reunion."

Blitz gets up and leaves as Applejack let's go and follows him. "So what now?" She asks after a while.

"Still have to help Octavia, remember?" Blitz asks.

Applejack sighs. "Let's go."

"You have to stay and work the farm, remember?" Blitz asks.

Applejack frowns. "Oh…yeah. Can you help a bit? As a future mate, you need to help."

"Ok." Blitz looks out to several trees full of apples and uses his magic to levitate all of the apples into empty brackets nearby. "Twi has taught me well, huh?" He jokes.

Applejack slaps his flank. "You need to also do it the earth pony way."

"I don't have the time. Besides, I just decreased the workload by seven percent." Blitz says smirking.

Applejack just raises an eyebrow. "Are those glasses of yours helping?"

"Nope, these are just mirror sunglasses. What, think they make me look sexy?" Blitz jokes.

Applejack sighs before grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and brings him in for a quick kiss which she quickly let's go as she blushed heavily. "Good enough answer?"

"Not really, is this?" Blitz asks grabbing her and leaning her backwards before kissing her.

Applejack yelps in surprise before feeling the kiss for a while before he lets go and brings her up again. "Um…yeah."

Blitz pulls her forward and back onto her hooves. "I have defiantly improved, right?" Blitz asks walking away, not waiting for an answer.

It wasn't until he feels a rope around him did he stop. "Whoa there lover boy. You ain't done." She said bringing him back.

"We can continue later Jackie. After all, you did ask me to help Octavia for you because you couldn't with the harvest." Blitz reminds.

Applejack pulls him back and holds him from behind. "Do you at least remember when I said I loved you more than you excepted?"

"Yeah, I do." Blitz says reaching around and pats her on the hat.

Applejack smiles. "I can have you remember that night during reunion week. I just need you in your room at the Darkstar."

"You mean tied up and you sleeping with me in my bed?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes her head. "No, just holding each other."

"Alright Jackie, but we don't need my bed. We got yours." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "Bring an old picture of yourself if you want that. We need something for the album and then we can have a whole family reunion picture after that."

"Alright Jackie, I will." Blitz says before teleporting out of her hooves and reappearing behind her and hugging her from behind.

Applejack sighs as she leans back. "You can have the others come over if you want, all I need is you."

"We shall see about that. Now we best get going and get our jobs done." Blitz says.

Applejack nods and turns her head to him. "Just remember, a young picture of yourself." She said before kissing his cheek.

"Alright, I will see if Minerva has one on record." Blitz says starting to walk towards to the town.

Applejack smiles as she watches him, especially his flank. She just licks her lips as she watches the muscles moves. "That's going to be yummy soon." She said before heading to the farm.


Blitz knocks on Octavia's door. "Coming." A mare calls that Blitz knew wasn't Octavia.

The door soon opened to show an electric blue maned unicorn. "Hey bud, whatcha need?"

"I'm here to speak with Miss. Octavia." Blitz says as both their glasses reflect each other's image.

Vinyl smiles. "Sure bud, one sec." She said before closing the door before opening it again. "Say, after this, you want listen to some of my music?"

"Sure." Blitz says.

Vinyl grins before shutting the door again and then Blitz hears some electric feedback. "Octy you are needed at the door, Octy you are needed at the door. There's a hot piece of meat waiting for you." He heard.

"What are you going on about Vinyl?" Octavia's voice was heard coming downstairs.

Blitz smiles as the door opens again and Octavia stands there. "Oh, hey Mr. Blitzkrieg. What do you need?"

"Just wanted to inform you everything has been settled and please, just Blitz." Blitz says.

Octavia nods. "Thanks for everything, can you tell her that hers and the foal's room is ready?"

"Yeah, she is currently staying at the Apple's farm." Blitz says.

Octavia smiles. "Thanks for saving our family."

"No need for thanks. I always help family." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs. "Well, thanks again. You need anything from us?"

"No, but your roommate invited me in. I don't think she would like if I left so soon, but is there anything I can help you with?" Blitz asks.

Octavia smirks. "Yeah, can you hold yourself up against a horny mare?"

"I know a barrier spell." Blitz jokes.

Octavia sighs and steps inside. "Just be careful around her. She likes to really have fun with the one who could fill her in any way."

"Don't worry I have experience warding off such ponies." Blitz says following her inside.

Octavia nods and opens a door that leads to a staircase leading down. "It might get loud, so get use to it." She said before going upstairs.

"Oh don't worry about me. Though it is cute you worry about me. " Blitz says.

Octavia tried to hold her blush. "Shut up and get down there."

"As you command." Blitz says using his magic to shut the door for her.

Blitz chuckles as he heads down and hears heavy thumping. He soon comes to a door where it was actually bulging out with every beat until he opens it and was actually blown back by the force. "Wow!" Blitz exclaimed as he forced his way through the wind of music.

"You see what I meant?!" Octavia asks.

Blitz was still trying to fight the wind and was suddenly blown back into another mare who catches him. "Hey dude!"

"You are Vinyl Scratch?" Blitz asks adjusting his glasses.

Vinyl nods. "Yeah dude, like the beats?!"

"It's got a nice beat, just takes some getting used to the force behind the sound waves." Blitz says.

Vinyl hugs him tight and cheers out. "Heck yeah! Want to really enjoy the beat?!"

"Let me guess, you can crank it up more so?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl somehow throws him onto the top of one of the large speakers before turning the dial up and then jumping from her seat and jumping on top of him and straddling him. "And this!"

"A little forward aren't you?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl starts to grind against him. "Heck yeah."

"Sorry, but you gotta marry to get that." Blitz says teleporting to beside Octavia.

Vinyl jumps off the speaker and lands in front of him. "So can I?"

"I believe there is an edict from the princess on that." Octavia says.

"Yeah there is." Blitz says slightly annoyed at Octavia before disappearing before their eyes. "But you gotta catch me first." Blitz says, reappearing leaning on Vinyl's back.

Vinyl bucks her back up and sends him flying to which she jumps up on her own and grabs him. "Gotcha."

Blitz smirks before disappearing before reappearing in front of the path of his sunglasses that flew off him. "Not that easy." Blitz says as he picks them up, giving both a perfect view of his golden yellow eyes.

Both mares stare at his eyes before throwing themselves at him.

"And this is why I now wear these glasses." Blitz says before dodging in between them.

Both mares then grab his back legs and pulls him to the ground.

"Man, you two are persistent. Vinyl you warned me about, but Octavia I'm surprised you have the reputation of being such a classy mare." Blitz says teleporting a few feet away and starting to feel a strain on his magic.

The mares then throws themselves again at him and latch onto his neck and bites at it before nibbling on it.

"Girls!" Blitz yells getting their attention.

Octavia snaps out of it, but Vinyl kept going. "Blitz, what…?"

"You two are in heat, aren't you?" Blitz asks.

Octavia looks away as Vinyl still went on.

"Could you please bring me a bucket of ice cold water?" Blitz asks. Octavia sighs as she uses her magic and brings a bucket in front of him. Blitz used his magic to levitate it over himself and Vinyl before pouring it onto both of them.

Vinyl shakes the water off of her as she looks to him. "What happened?"

"You went a little crazy with heat." Blitz says.

Vinyl looks at him before looking at his neck and let's go. "Sorry about that."

"It's fine. You're not the first mares to throw themselves at me." Blitz says thinking over whether or not to put back on his sunglasses before noticing Vinyl lost here's in the whole thing. "By the way your red eyes are cute." Blitz says.

Vinyl blushes as she looks away. "They're not that cute."

"You're right, they are beautiful to me." Blitz says.

Vinyl blushes some more. "Shut up, they're ugly okay?! They're ugly!" She yelled as she turned red.

"I didn't know it was opposite day. Did you Octavia?" Blitz asks as Octavia found it amusing as somepony was actually embarrassing Vinyl with compliments.

Octavia sighs. "Tell him Vinyl, you can trust him." She said as she looks concerned at her.

"I'm half vamp…" Vinyl starts but is cut off by Blitz. "Vampire."

Vinyl looks to him. "How did you…?"

"I know almost everything on vampires after all, I carry scars from Bloody Mary and the correct term for you is Dhampiresa." Blitz says hoofly.

Vinyl rubs her leg with her hoof as she still looks away. "So you don't hate me?"

"No, a few months ago I would be probably up there terrified, but who wouldn't have a phobia against all vampires after Bloody Mary." Blitz says pointing to the beam before hooking a leg around Vinyl.

Vinyl blushes a bit as he holds her close. "Um…are you okay with this?"

"Yeah, I'm fine with it. After all, you can't spread the vampirism through bites. So I don't have to worry about this." Blitz said, touching his neck.

Vinyl looks to him before getting close to his neck again. "Ca…can I?"

"Fine, just don't take much blood." Blitz says.

Vinyl gets her muzzle close to his neck before licking it a little and then biting it and holds herself there as she starts to drink and wraps her hooves around him. Blitz just sits there and waits, going so far to get a book out to start reading as Octavia just watches stunned. Vinyl soon let's go slowly and licks it a few times before looking away. "Thanks."

"So you hadn't had blood in what, three months?" Blitz guesses.

Vinyl blushes heavily. "Try years."

"I see. So why don't you two tell me about yourselves." Blitz says.

Vinyl leans her head against him. "Can you carry me?"

"Very well." Blitz says letting her lay on his back.

"Reminds me of when I have to drag you back home drunk." Octavia says leading him upstairs.

Vinyl buries her face into his coat. "Shut up." She said, muffled by him.

"She like this while fried?" Blitz asks.

Octavia shakes her head. "No, she would usually suggest things to do to me as I carry her. This is different."

"Ah, so she is not usually this content." Blitz says reaching the upstairs.

Octavia nods. "Yeah, she told me, but I wouldn't allow her. I didn't realize that her life was going to calm down once she drank."

"Yeah, don't expect it to last." Blitz says.

"Blitz, can I drink again?" Vinyl asks from his back.

"You already drank more than a pint of my blood. You drink anymore and I will start getting light headed." Blitz says as Octavia walked back in with a medical kit.

Vinyl keeps looking into his coat. "Please."

"Fine." Blitz relents.

Vinyl clamps down onto the old bite and starts to drink again as Blitz lays down to prevent her from falling off if he fell. Then he noticed he was getting light headed and gaining some sweat. 'Wait, that isn't sweat.' He thought as he felt a wetness on a specific spot on his back. "Great, now I'm going to have to have this washed." Blitz says as Vinyl finally let's go.

Vinyl tries to breathe as she catches her breath. "Blitz, can I stay with you?"

"Huh?" Blitz and Octavia asks as Vinyl sounds more and more drunk.

Vinyl still was breathing. "I want to stay with you."

"Vinyl, you sound drunk." Blitz says as he feels her start to sway.

Vinyl frowns a little. "I don't…" She couldn't say anymore as she fell over and just stares at him. "Don't leave me."

"Oh great, you haven't drank blood since you hit puberty haven't you?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl blushes beet red. "Yeah, I never had anypony and Octy wouldn't give me one."

"I see." Blitz says noticing Vinyl started snoring.

Octavia groans. "This is all my fault. I should have let her drink at least."

"Then she would have imprinted on you and you would most likely be in a lesbian relationship." Blitz says.

Octavia looks to him. "So you…?"

"She will feel attracted to me from now on, but won't be able to remember this." Blitz says as Octavia bandaged his neck.

Octavia looks worried to her. "So you're going to leave her?"

"I live in town." Blitz says.

Octavia hits him. "You know that's not what I meant."

"Ok, it isn't exactly healthy for a Dhampiresa to be close to the one she has imprinted on for a awhile after they imprint or could well get blood crazed for the flavor of the blood of the imprinted on." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs as she wraps the bandages around him. "So what are you going to do now?"

"Steer clear for two days before coming back. She should be passed the phase by then. Though I only have second hoof experience to base this on. There hasn't been a known Dhampiresa in centuries." Blitz says.

Octavia looks to him. "Because there wasn't."

"No, because most are either like Bloody Mary or well blood crazed and lost all sense of self and are just wild animals seeking to state their thirst." Blitz says putting back on his glasses.

Octavia presses her lips together. "Blitz, is Vinyl actually that old?"

"She is probably your age range, seventeen, and eighteen?" Blitz asks.

Octavia didn't know how to respond to that at first.

"Don't tell me you are sixteen." Blitz says causing Octavia to start to giggle.

"No silly, I'm twenty. Vinyl's twenty one." She said.

"Oh, I apologize if I insulted you." Blitz says.

Octavia waves him off. "It's fine. Through, I wonder what happened to her in the old century. She just told me when and not how."

"Wait, you said she was twenty one." Blitz says confused.

Octavia nods. "Yes, as a cover because of her body. She's actually at least two millenniums old. Heck, she saw Luna's banishment."

"I see, so the legendary last Dhampiresa. Vinyl, a vampire stallion claiming to be your father is here to see you." Blitz says causing Vinyl to wake up immediately.

"Huh, what?! What about my father?!" Vinyl asks as she got up.

"Yeah, Dracula himself is here." Blitz says.

Vinyl groans. "Very funny…how did you know who my dad is?"

"The last ever born millenniums ago was the child of Dracula, but it never said whether it was a stallion or a mare. Man, I wonder how Bloody Mary would have reacted to you." Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs. "Come at me and hope to have me."

"More like try to destroy you. After all, your father was the first to kill her. I just finished the job." Blitz says getting Vinyl's attention.

Vinyl looks to him. "You killed her?"

"Three times, to be precise and the last time I smashed the thing that the devil gave her as a sign of their contract. With that shattered, she was just another vampire and can't come back." Blitz says.

"Wait, that means your Southern Cross?" Octavia asks.

Blitz nods. "Yep, the one and only."

Vinyl looked at him before tackling him.

Blitz looks up as Vinyl laid her head on his chest. "Um…?"

Vinyl now had a smirk with her fangs out as she looked like hungry. "Um…Octavia, a hoof please." Blitz requests.

Octavia sighs and pulls Vinyl off of him. "Easy girl, leave him wet and ready to go with a full load if you want him."

"She is slipping into blood craze. I will catch you later." Blitz says disappearing.

Octavia smiles as she held Vinyl sniffing around. "He'll be back. Don't you worry girl."

"We must have him my thrall." Vinyl says.

Octavia giggles. "Oh boy." She said to herself as she petted Vinyl's mane.

"He is the best specimen I have ever come across and he also let me drink his blood." Vinyl says showing she was faking her blood craze.

Octavia watches in amusement. "Do you love him?"

Vinyl smiles and licks her lips. "Hmmm." She says fantasizing.

Octavia leans close to her ear. "And what are you thinking of doing to him?"

"The better question is what we will do with him." Vinyl says.

Octavia nuzzles her. "And the things we can do, maybe you can go first and he'll just empty everything he has in you?"

"Oh no, I don't want to kill him, besides he is right. I can't turn him into a vampire or a Dhampir like myself." Vinyl says.

Octavia smiles. "Then what are you going to do, ride him until you pass out?"

"Oh yeah." Vinyl says.

Octavia smiles as she keeps nuzzling her. "How about me? What do I get?"

"You get the pleasure and later you will bear foals." Vinyl says.

Octavia nods. "Yes, I'm just a foal bearer, aren't I?"

"Better than before, after all, I made you fertile when you were barren." Vinyl says.

Octavia moans. "Yes master, can I have a sample of what he might give from you?"

"Yes you may." Vinyl says.

Octavia moans as she keeps nuzzling her. "Master, I need something now."

"Let's go and…I didn't notice before, but there was an artificial vampire mark on him." Vinyl says.

Octavia hisses. "Who dares do that?"

"Fluttershy. She turned into an artificial vampire."

Octavia hisses. "Shall I take her out?"

"No, no, I will handle it later." Vinyl says.

Octavia hisses before using her own fangs and scratches her neck. "Can I help with anything else master?"

"No need, after all, I'm going to give you an example. Just don't turn him into a vampire like yourself." Vinyl says.

Octavia nods. "Yes master. Can this bitch do anything for you now?"

Vinyl grabs her tail and yanks it lightly. "No, but I will for you." Vinyl says.

Author's Notes:

Well now, this took a while too. Turns out the google drive system can't handle a 50k words and up word doc. It starts crashing around that time and the first one, we were really pushing it and it was crashing on us constantly before we decided to split the oneshot into many. And that's how this story was born. We were planning to make it a oneshot, but now it's a whole story. So when we start crashing and everything, we start on another. That's why on the last chapter, it looks like it just cuts off in mid dialogue. I can assure you, that's not the case. When I hit a line point, that's the cut off point for the next chapter, not in between.

So hoped you enjoy the story and don't hate it just because it's long. You clicked on it and saw the word count. What were you expecting?

Next Chapter: Chapter 1 (Part 3): Space? Spaccccccccccce! Estimated time remaining: 50 Hours, 2 Minutes
