Canterlot University: The Dazzling Sunset
Chapter 24: Chapter 23: Love is a Battlefield
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSunset’s eyes moved quickly, tracing Luna’s well practiced movements towards her. Her body coiled into action as the instructor slowly moved to her right flank. In an instant Luna crossed the 7 foot space, and struck with speed faster than any human ought to, only to meet the air Sunset’s head used to occupy. The younger fighter had completely disappeared, and in that instant so did Luna’s footing. She should have seen it coming, should have known Sunset’s speed and flexibility had increased to a level that she could no longer bait into simple strikes. Yet there she was, twisting to regain her balance as two kicks slammed into her ribs.
Sunset’s attack had been brutal, a total reaction to force directed at her; all pretense of master and student was gone as she was now towering above a prone Luna. In an instant she’d bought herself over the older woman. Luna having expected a blow to her head from Sunset, reached out to find only air, and the crushing force of Sunset choking her from behind. Sunset had locked in a perfect assisted choke, and had Luna possessed the ability to do anything but resist she’d have no doubt been proud.
From the sidelines Adagio marvelled at the erotic scene before her. Two women, master and student, soaked in sweat now writhing in agonized effort as the student worked to unseat the master. Sunset squeezed and wrenched as the blood worked desperately in Luna to try and keep herself from taking an early nap. The writhing chaotic bloodlust made the elder Siren weak in the knees, though that could have been the squats she’d been doing…
Luna was at her wit’s end, keeping calm but enduring the loss of blood to one’s brain was impossible even for one as practiced as she. Wildly punching behind with her good arm Luna felt her control slipping as her panic and rage kicked in. Sunset was barely anchoring the choke in, at this point feeling the strength that adrenaline could bring to a panicked Luna. All the same Sunset remained composed, drawing her teacher up by her neck. She had one move before Luna broke out and pounded her face in for the second time in months. With a sudden controlled tweak of her wrist Sunset jammed her prone knee into Luna’s back.
Pain ignited through Luna as the wind was knocked from her, and she found herself standing. Sunset still behind her, the choke now locked in even tighter, disabling her arm further and taking even more time from Luna’s consciousness. Her power and ferocity lessened from their peak, Sunset now controlling the fight completely. Luna struck once, then twice slamming an elbow into Sunset’s left eye, and then all went dark.
*********************************************************
“Alright ya bitch, fess up,” the baritone voice rang through Luna’s ear along with the solid metal click of a knife opening. “Not a talker eh? Well Lulu we can fix that,” the voice continued as fear welled up inside. The darkness didn’t help. She couldn’t speak from fear, but she could feel the cool blade against her temple, the inability to move her limbs. With titanic effort Luna felt an arm return to her, slowly coming back. “Luna, Luna, Luna,” the voice chided as the pressure built against her temple, numbing the spot as cold rivulets of blood trickled down her cheek. With a sudden jerk in the darkness Luna reached up, her palm finding flesh her fingers sinking all the pressure she could into it. “ACK, Lu, Luna, LUNA!”
“LUNA!” Sunset screamed, choking from the force of her instructor’s hand at her throat, as she smacked the unconscious woman.
“NO!” Luna roared her eyes snapping open as she tossed Sunset off of her, the ice cube that had been against her temple smashing against the cool wood of the gymnasium floor. Sunset looked to Luna as she panted from her hysterical outburst. It took a moment for her to realize, but as her eyes met Sunset’s it all came to her. “I… Oh dammit Sunset I’m-” Luna was suddenly choked again, though this time considerably less restrictively as Sunset had wrapped her in a tight embrace.
“Oh Lu I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to scare you, I’m sorry!” Sunset wailed rocking Luna back and forth.
“Su-gnhg!” Sunset tightened the hug, Luna knew well that her ribs were incredibly bruised from those kicks.
“No I never meant to hurt you, never meant to scare you like that I’m so so sorry!” Sunset continued straining against her instructor.
“Sunset,” Luna groaned, pain coursing through her body.
“It’s okay, if you never want me to trai-”
“SUNSET!” Luna screamed, with the help of the Dazzlings and the entire gym. Sunset blinked, looking her teacher in the eyes. “Sunset, you have nothing to be sorry for, but please, those kicks are being done no favors through this hug,” Luna said, emphasizing her statement with a groan.
“Fuck!” Sunset yelled, stumbling back into Adagio’s arms as a few amused chuckles sounded from around her.
“WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU MAGGOTS TO STOP RUNNING!” Adagio screamed, earning myriad groans from the room of martial artists, all of whom began their fierce training regiment anew.
“Ahem, anyway, Sunset that was an incredible fight. The last time we fought you proved my time as your superior was at an end, and with this one you’ve proven that we are now equals,” Luna moved slowly to her feet, her eyes streaming with tears. “You have made me so proud Sunset, you are ready,” Luna placed a hand on her student’s shoulder, smiling happily.
“Oh Luna…” Sunset whispered, tears stinging the edges of her eyes.
“Much as I would love to watch master and student have another deliciously sweaty match in front of all these students I think you two might need some medical attention,” Adagio said, chuckling as the two injured women now backed away sporting raging blushes.
“Miss Dazzle I think you’ll find my ribs have been through far worse,” Luna huffed, the end of which resulted in a very pained groan. As Adagio gave her a withering glare Luna simply sighed. “Though perhaps you have a point,” and with that Luna slowly moved to the center of the mats. “Well done tonight class, consider this an early night. Practice will be off for the next week in preparation for exams and to recover. I look forward to seeing you all perform in two weeks. Be here at 9 A.M. sharp. DISMISSED.” Luna held her composure for a moment as her students filed into their respective locker rooms, and once all but her closest were gone she crouched over and groaned, “Hospital, now!”
******************************
“How many times are we going to play this game Luna?” Nurse Redheart sighed, finishing the bandages over the martial artist’s abdomen. It was funny how even off shift she could be forced into work by desperate old friends, but the visit wasn’t wholly unwelcome.
“Oh Red you know I would take bruised ribs just to feel your touch,” Luna whispered giving her old confidant her best bedroom eyes.
“LUNA!” Sunset yelled, snapping her instructor out of her look and earning chuckles from the Dazzlings.
“Looks like I win the bet Dagi,” Sonata cooed accepting a bill from her unamused lover.
“Sorry not used to having guests when I get patched up,” Luna chuckled standing from Nurse Redheart’s kitchen counter, testing her mobility in the wrap. Redheart simply smiled coyly as she moved her medical supplies over to Sunset, who still wore a horrified look.
“Alright Miss Shimmer, let’s look at those bruises,” Redheart began taking a look at her neck and eyes. “Pfft, you’ve done worse to me Luna! I expected something that actually required help.” This time everyone chuckled at the terrified squeak Sunset emitted.
“Oh come now Sunny did you get hit in the head so hard it reset your virginity?” Adagio whispered, dragging her hand over Sunset’s shoulders. Sunset shivered, but steeled her resolve in shaking off the thought of her teacher spending a hot night with Nurse Redheart, or Celestia, or her clone and two Celestias.
“I think I’ve seen those symptoms before,” Redheart whispered to Adagio, leaning over Sunset. This only added to the mental gymnastics the poor girl was going through as she now knew exactly what color of lace the nurse that had administered her first human physical wore.
“Yes she gets this way when she thinks about older women having sex with each other,” Adagio whispered patting Sunset’s hair and digging a nail into the cleavage of the loveable naughty nurse.
“Then she’ll need some rehabilitation,” Redheart said with a wink, and sauntering over to her other patient descended on her like a hungry wolf. They met at a kiss, passionate and fierce as the flames rising in Sunset’s face.
“Oh dear Sunset I always knew you could be a kiny little vouyer, but to watch your teacher in such a state, isn’t it exciting,” Adagio whispered nibbling the ear of the poor mindbroken Sunset.
“Ahb-dah ha,” Sunset whispered hotly, sweat forming again on her brow.
“Oh poor dear, let’s get you home and into bed, you’ve had a tough day.” Adagio cooed in her best baby voice.
“Mmm must you leave so soon?” Redheart groaned as Luna bit fiercely at her collar bone. “I was just about to see if Celestia would come over, perhaps show you ladies some tricks from experi-AH-nce,” she moaned, flashing a smile at Sunset.
“Rain check Dr. I’ll take you up on a private exam after I’ve gotten my patient here cured of what ails me,” Adagio said with a wink. All Sunset could do was watch in awe, uninterrupted even by the lacy black bra Luna threw on her head.
*************************************************
Sunset’s eyes had finally returned to their normal, non-wide shape as she cuddled happily against her lovers. “Ok so… Does Luna seem more, uh, open to you guys?” Sunset asked hoping her lovers might have some kind of answer for how her normally reserved teacher was acting so strange.
“Well perhaps she simply considers you an equal now? Maybe feels she can open up her life to you as a person and not just as a master?” Adagio offered snuggling into Sunset’s back as she enjoyed the simple throbbing soreness that came after two hard workouts in one day.
“Adagio…” Sunset growled, snaking an arm strongly around the puffy haired sex-addict.
“Alright alright, I may have nudged their desires just a touch…” Adagio admitted casually playing with Sunset’s hair.
“So how much magic are we playing with in this world now?” Sunset asked, marking another notch in her mental scoreboard of the number of times she’d been had by Adagio. Sonata and Aria both sighed beside her, and looked to Adagio. “Okay so that’s part of an answer, what am I missing here?” Sunset asked turning to look into Adagio’s wine colored eyes. She found only worry.
“I had asked the princesses over Christmas, but found no answers. I can only say the level of magic has increased to where I can perform very minor bits of my old tricks,” Adagio’s face scrunched with concentration as she worked to summon enough power to make a small visible ball of glowing energy in front of her. “It seems small, but a shift this large can only mean that something very big is coming. I have my suspicions, but for the moment we need to be very careful. Especially around any kind of music,” Adagio concluded, releasing the energy back into the air.
Sunset marvelled at the control Adagio had over magic, but continued thinking herself. “So magic is returning to the world, but it’s not enough for just anyone to tap into yet. Any chance we can increase our power with the meteor and find whatever’s causing this. Cut it off before it can punch us?” she suggested, sitting up in the bed to better ponder their options.
“Not that easy,” Sonata chimed in, “Adagio I think we both know that the storm is headed for us.” Adagio simply nodded at the assertion, much to Sunset’s confusion. “Well broadcasting that giant hunk of magic to him will only hurt us worse in the long run. Best to do what we do best,” Sonata concluded sidling up to Aria and holding her tightly.
“So the storm?” Sunset asked tilting her head to the side.
“The whisperer of the depths, the dark one, the destroyer, hell one kid with a serious mommy problem called him an elder god,” Aria growled moving from Sonata’s grasp to grab a bottle of water and her vaporizer.
“Indeed, we knew it best as the storm,” Adagio whispered, reaching down to the bedside cabinet and pulling out one of her dusty old tomes. “I had originally told you about the voice which stirred us, giving us the supernatural power we possessed, and our hunger for strife,” Adagio’s voice was grave as she flipped to a marked page in the book. On the page was a mass of darkness with hundreds of red eyes poking through. “In the times before worlds this being was thought to be representative of the empty void. It slept for an eternity, but as it dreams it can manifest power in an attempt to silence all of existence so that it may know existence as a complete void again. That awful thing’s dream is what drove our world to destruction, what drives almost all beings to destruction,” Adagio sighed and shook her head at the image.
“So there’s a good chance we’re going to be facing the evil plan of some ancient being seeking to wipe out all life so it can sleep or exist?” Sunset confirmed, looking at the text of the book.
“Cliché, but it has made our lives hell for centuries. I suspect it has everything to do with the growing magic,” Adagio said, slamming the book shut and tossing it aside. “What’s more the entire situation is hurry up and wait. The monster has been doing this for so long that it’s very patient.” Adagio bit at her nails as she spoke her eyes full of worry.
Sunset placed a hand on Adagio’s, leading it away from her mouth and replacing the stress biting with a slow passionate kiss. “I don’t give a damn,” Sunset whispered pulling away from her lover. “It could be all of Tartarus, and we could be all but doomed. As long as I have you three with me it doesn’t matter,” Sunset put her hand on Adagio’s cheek, running her thumb across it and smiling.
“Oh Sunset…” Adagio whispered, drinking in the reaffirming look her young lover gave her.
“Besides, I get to top you every other weekend, I don’t care how old this thing is. Your simpering little moans are something I won’t lose!” Sunset punched her fist in the air causing Sonata and Aria to burst out laughing, and Adagio to plant her face heavily in her palm.
As the four lovers began laughing together everyone moved to bed for a good relaxing cuddle. “Let the storm come then, I hope it can hear us because I defy it to test our resolve,” Adagio thought, nuzzling Sunset as sleep began to take her.
In the dark of the night three figures hissed at the feelings emanating from the house, continuing their long journey to their master. “Soon,” they all whispered into the howling wind, growing thicker with magic and salt as they travelled.
******************************************************
Sunset awoke to the smell of pancakes and sex, a wonderful aroma if she was being honest. Almost good enough to encourage her to open her aching eyes, she’d need to thank Luna for what was no doubt a very black eye. “Anybody get the plate number on that breakfast food truck?” Sunset groaned, the pain throbbing in her head as she shifted to a comfortable sitting position.
“No but we robbed ‘em as they went by,” Aria said with a chuckle placing a tray in front of Sunset. It was filled to the brim with tasty looking scrambled eggs covered in salsa and Sonata’s special bacon carnitas.
“My compliments to the chef, even if it does feel like the driver backed over me… Twice,” Sunset groaned, taking a bite of her breakfast.
“Just imagine how Luna feels dear, schadenfreude always eases the pain,” Adagio said, offering Sunset a few aspirin and a glass of water. If the ladies had been listening they might have heard sullen groans from across the town, but thanks to the poppy music Sonata was cooking to the pained cries were drowned out.
“Thanks Dagi, but I have a strange feeling this kind of pain pales in comparison to what I’ll be dealing with even after we mop the floor at the tournament,” Sunset said, her voice betraying slight panic.
“Pfft, yeah I’m sure the pussy lineup they’ve got waiting for you really compares to this world’s concept of one of the all powerful demi-gods of Equestria,” Aria snorted, flopping into one of the rooms chairs and flipping through a copy of octane magazine.
“Yeah Sunny Bunny, Ari’s right. You’re totally the toughest girl in Canterlot,” Sonata added, strolling into the room with a little tea cart full of food and coffee.
“Now now ladies,” Adagio said, pulling the remote control for the bedroom’s large T.V. from the chest it was mounted over. “We can reassure Sunset all we want verbally, but I think we all know that a little video evidence might be just what our worried lover needs,” Adagio tutted, clicking the power button on the remote. In moments she was accessing a private portion of the device’s built in hard drive through a secret code. Sunset suddenly beheld hundreds of videos that looked to be ultra high quality security camera footage, and all of her.
“How is it that I’m somehow not surprised by the fact that you three would record all of my practices?” Sunset questioned, calmly sipping coffee as her voyeuristic lovers snuggled in close. Somewhere in the past Sunset might have questioned what kind of madness it would be to surround one’s self with anywhere between three and or more women that constantly wanted sex and or to record your life, and then to watch said recordings in high definition 4k at 90 frames per second. As she was now Sunset called that a nice relaxing Saturday.
“Because lover,” Adagio purred, scritching her nail under Sunset’s chin and earning a happy giggle, “somewhere deep in your mind you know we’re always watching, and it makes you hot,” Adagio whispered, getting a satisfying shiver from Sunset.
“Dagi~ show Sunny the video we made already! Then we can all have fun with the other videos from the house’s feed!” Sonata chirped, causing Sunset to go ever so slightly red.
“As you wish Sona,” Adagio sighed, wishing the fun of revealing her unstoppable ability to watch people would never end and revel in one of her famous diatribes. Instead she selected another menu of edited footage, and selected a video marked ‘student to master’. Suddenly the screen was lit by Sunset performing her hand drills with Rainbow Dash. She was fast, smooth, perfect to the untrained eye. However Sunset’s trained eye could see every bad pivot, every wrong angle, and every slowdown.
“I know you guys probably can’t see my mistakes here clearly, but this is really bad form for-” Then just as she spoke the film slid to half the screen, and a new image of Sunset was placed beside it. This loop of Sunset began the high speed electronic music, her fists flying, her body toned to almost no body fat. She was sleek, and so smooth she seemed to be everywhere and nowhere at once. Every strike connected, every hit actually driving not Rainbow, but Bulk Biceps’ massive frame back. Sunset’s mouth hung agape, clearly the subtle transition she’d gone through had managed to elude her.
As the video rolled Sunset began to realize just how far she’d managed to come over the weeks. Before her movements had ended in snaps like a firearm. Now they rolled like waves crashing against her opponent. Her speed had been like a well oiled spring, but now the speed was utterly under control, going from viper fast to smooth and placid over and over against the heavy bag.
“You were a paragon of what it is to fight then, and that was a month ago,” Adagio whispered, causing Sunset’s jaw to drop even further. Each video now bore a time card, and it made Sunset’s mind spin as she saw every moment of edited practice, from her failures to her successes in quick succession. Her grappling went from constant slips, to a lock near every time, her interception of blows was now either force redirection or out and out dodging, her strikes went from bouncing with incredible force off opponents, to seemingly cutting right through them. She was so pretty, and as the video wound to the final night, she saw the video of her battle with Luna.
“I…” Sunset stammered, looking at the pre-match image of Luna and herself, frozen for just enough time to see how incredibly close the two looked. Normally Luna was obviously leaner, and stronger than anyone in the class save Bulk, but now it was as though there were two Luna’s facing off. She marvelled at her master’s speed, but could scarcely believe her own as she performed a picture perfect version of Luna’s famous crescent sweep. “Holy shit I kick ass,” Sunset breathed as the video ended with Luna passing out in the chokehold.
“Exactly, just as we have nothing to worry about because of your presence, you clearly have nothing to worry about from the Wendigos,” Adagio said, sauntering over to bed with a wide smile. “I know you get bogged down in your own worries but honestly dear,” Adagio lifted her shirt as she spoke revealing her considerably toned abs, “did you ever have any doubt that between everyone involved you’d come out as anything less than a human weapon?” Sunset was having a tough time concentrating on anything but that washboard Adagio had carved into her hourglass figure.
“Yeah, and look at these guns,” Aria quipped, flexing her impressive arms and legs. This made Sonata fall dramatically into the crass Siren’s arms fanning herself. “You ever wonder why that stick you were practicing with under me never changed weight?” Aria continued smiling wide as Sunset looked slack jawed at her.
“Mmm my three beef cakes,” Sonata cooed from Aria’s arms as she was carried to bed. “It only took a healthy supply of perfect nutrition and crafting every single bite you all took in to carve these incredible bodies,” Sonata winked “Now finish your eggs so we can shower up. Growing ladies need their yummy food,” Sonata finished as Aria began to nibble at her neck.
Sunset took an appreciative bite of her eggs and chuckled, “You three are the best,” Sunset decided between bites of egg as her lover all wore pleased grins. “Gonna make it all worth it here soon,” Sunset said nodding as she spoke.
“Oh?” Adagio asked, raising an eyebrow at her lover’s mysterious choice of phrasing. The eldest Siren had to admit, despite their combined thousands of years worth of experience, Sunset was enough of a firecracker to sometimes surprise even the great Siren trio.
“Yep,” Sunset said through a final bite of egg. With a deliberate slowness she moved her bed tray, and stretched as she moved from bed. “You’ll see,” Sunset finished with a wink, and in a deft movement tossed her clothes to the ground. The fiery haired beast of a woman looked positively perfect to Adagio, bruised as she was. Where Adagio’s abs were like a washboard, Sunset’s had the appearance of bricks, her breasts had perked slightly with the tightening of her pectorals, and with a flex of her arms she gave more a look of a female Adonis than some well muscled twenty-two year old.
“Fuck me that’s hot,” Aria breathed, causing Adagio and Sonata to nod slack jawed. Sunset flashed her winning smile and turned, revealing her perky ass, and beautifully toned back. Bruises ran like some form of painful topographic map, but it was somehow even sexier. Had the ladies seen this all before? Naturally, but there was something about the level of confidence rolling off Sunset that just worked perfectly.
“You ladies ready to hit the shower? My poor body could use some hands to make all the nasty soreness let up,” Sunset asked with a turn and a coy wink. Then with some of that lightning quickness she’d carved into her body Sunset disappeared into the massive master bathroom.
“All parties present with moist thighs raise your hands,” Adagio said, still dumbstruck from just how intensely her loins were reacting to the show. To that end three sets of hands raised.
“You’re all silly and way too slow~” a voice sounded from the bathroom, which was wholly familiar to all in the house. The accompanying moans of a very happy Sunset caused all three women outside the bathroom to growl.
“Oh Pinks, right there,” Sunset groaned, clearly loving whatever was going on behind the bathroom door.
“Adagio?” Sonata asked coolly.
“Yes my love” Adagio answered, slipping her pants and shirt off as she spoke.
“WHY THE HELL ARE WE NOT IN THERE?!” Sonata screamed, amusingly just as Sunset did the same in pleasure.
“In a thousand years I will still have no answers,” Adagio said with a shrug of her shoulders, and with that all the bum rushed the door.
Only Aria slowed even for a moment, just long enough to voice her one concern, “How the hell is Pinkie in our bathroom?”
“It’s Pinkie Pie, don’t question it,” three voices rang out, as the bubbly pink woman’s giggles flitted over the sounds of chaos that would soon turn to considerably more lewd chaos.
***********************************
“So~” Nurse Redheart mused, snuggling into the blue figure in her bed. “Breakfast?”
“I have no idea how, I have no idea why, but I suddenly crave pancakes, and Adagio Dazzle’s unending pain,” Luna growled, earning a giggle and a soft nibble on her neck. A sharp intake of breath, and a minor groan from her poor ribs later Luna sighed. “Breakfast, yes let’s,” Luna decided rising from the bed and moving to Redheart’s closet.
“Um Lu, I keep supplies in… There,” Redheart paused halfway through as she beheld her old friend Discord just as Luna threw open the doors.
“You will give me the camera, and your wallet, NOW!” Luna demanded, flexing dangerously at the cowering man. After both items were secured Luna smiled and slammed the doors, crushing the camera in her hand and flipping the wallet. “How about a full day? Call Tia and have brunch, a few drinks, maybe dinner and a touch of shopping? My treat,” Luna smiled with pure evil as a groan came from the closet.
“Yay!” Celestia cheered, rolling out from under the bed, and hugging her sister. “I’ll warm the car up, you two freshen up!” the administrator skipped happily out the door, causing the already shocked Nurse Redheart to simply sit slack jawed.
“Come on Red, don’t try to understand it. You’ll just hurt your head,” Luna said, shaking her head and picking her old fling up, and heading for the bathroom for a relaxing Saturday.
