Author's Notes:

This chapter is mostly clop, though the ending does set something up for the next one. Like always, the clop is marked so you can avoid it if you want. Enjoy.

Zinnia started to chuckle darkly and sashayed up to me slowly.

“Ah-ah-ah~” Zinnia sang, striding past me. “You made a deal~ Now come on, we’ve gotta find the girls.”

“Ugh,” I whined, getting up. “I hate my moral compass sometimes.”

“Catch you guys later!” Patty called, grabbing Hodge’s hand and starting to tug him away. “I have my own promises to keep~”

I waved my hand to the two of them without turning back as I caught up with Zinnia. “Zinnia, can’t I at least have my duster back if we’re going to see the princesses?”

“Wait!” Hodge cried out. “Someone has to keep the egg warm!”

“SONAR!!!” Zinnia Roared out suddenly.

Within seconds, a tiny black and purple bat creature fluttered up to us, chirping at Zinnia. She seemed to chirp back for a second before the bat glowed white, slowly expanding and changing into the hulking Noivern from before.

“What in the name of all things good and holy just happened?!” I shouted, confused.

“Pokemon in my world, if they train hard enough, can turn into their previous forms,” Zinnia explained, shrugging. “I have a Tyrantrum that does it too.”

That reminded me of something and I started to sing, “Digimon digital monsters, Digimon are the champions~”

“Eh, that was more my brother’s thing,” the Draconid shrugged again.

“What I was trying to say there was that the form changing thing you just described, basically sounded exactly like Digimon,” I chuckled. “Still that solves the egg problem.”

“Yay!” Patty cried, slinging Hodge over her shoulder and turning to walk off with him. “I’ll see you in a month!”

“Wait what!?” Hodge called, his eyes wide. “One of you help me!!!”

I turned to Zinnia with an evil grin. “Did you just hear something?”

“Nope~” she replied, closing her eyes and turning in the opposite direction to Hodge. “Just Sonar taking the egg to safety.”

“That’s what I thought,” I said, following after her.

“Damn you!!!” Hodge cried as Patty dragged him away.

I started to laugh a bit as Hodge’s cries became harder and harder to hear. “Ah, sometimes payback feels so good.”

“Yep!” Zinnia giggled, bumping her shoulder against me. “And now to find your women and show off your new body!”

“The throne room is probably our best bet,” I answered. “One of the princesses should be there.”

The two of us continued walking down the halls of the castle, and I was feeling increasingly nervous with every step. The only two things keeping me from bolting and hiding in one of the secret rooms I made in the castle was: one, the promise of getting back to my original gender, and two the promise I made to Zinnia. After what felt like an eternity, we made it to the doors of the throne room with two night guards standing in position.

“At ease,” Zinnia said, waving them off. “You won’t be needed for a while. Go enjoy an early break.”

The two guards exchanged a brief look before shrugging and walking off to the guard barracks. I heard one of them mentioning a card game as they turned the corner, shrugging at the info.

“You okay Val?” Zinnia asked, planting a hand on the doors.

“Just scared out of my mind… and cold.”

“Oh,” she muttered, blinking. A second later she moved over to me, wrapping me in a hug, and I felt a warmth flowing from her body. “Sorry. I keep forgetting others don’t have fire in them.”

“How is that something you forget?” I asked with a weak chuckle.

“I’m used to it, and I hang around ponies. I forgot about being human for a while.” Pausing, she smirked, nuzzling my neck. “And if it’d make you feel better… you can get dressed if you want.”

“I feel like if I agree to that you’re going to give me a cheerleader uniform or a latex bodysuit.”

“No, I’ll give you actual clothes,” she muttered. “I… I want you to feel good too…”

“Well, if you got something then I won’t say no.” I said, scratching my cheek.

Zinnia just nodded, letting me go and reaching into her bag. She rummaged around for a minute before frowning, turning to shove her other hand in, searching again until she seemingly found what she wanted. “Uh… you want underwear too?” she asked.

“Hmm, that depends, do you think I should go with something sexy?” I asked, mostly joking.

“If you wanna. I’ve got briefs and boxers too though.”

“Just pick something for me,” I said with a shake of my head. “I’ll trust you on this.”

Zinnia nodded, pulling out a pair of black lace panties and handing them over. “These okay?” she asked, handing me a matching bra before plunging into her bag again.

“They’ll do,” I replied, slipping the panties up my leg. “Mind helping me with the bra? I only have experience taking them off, not putting them on.”

Zinnia chuckled, shaking her head and pulling a bundle of clothes out of her back before dropping them, taking the bra back. “Sure thing, turn around,” she said, making a twirl motion with her finger. I did as she asked and knelt a bit so she’d have an easier time.

Zinnia reached around me, positioning the cups of the bra over my breasts before having me slide my arms in. She pulled the straps over my shoulder, moving to clasp it behind my back, straining a little with the effort.

“Come on…” I heard the Draconid mutter. “This is the biggest damn bra I have left…”

“Ow,” I hissed. “What the hell are you doing back there?”

“Trying to clasp the thing shut!” Zinnia shot back. “Your tits are too big!” She paused, and I swear I actually heard her blinking in shock. “Never thought I’d say that…”

“Same… this has been a really weird day.”

“Sexy though. You gotta admit being a girl is pretty cool.” She grunted, and a second later I heard her stumbling back, my chest suddenly feeling tight. “Success!”

“Considering I’ve basically been sexually assaulted all day, my experience as a lady hasn’t been ideal. Oh, and my naked body is going to end up on the internet in other universes.”

“I’ll convince Hodge to at least keep the tape to himself,” Zinnia said, smiling as I turned to face her again and handing me the clothes she’d dropped. “And maybe I can treat you to dinner another day, if you’re willing to give this another go. How’s that sound?”

“Only if I’m a man when we do it,” I chuckled as I pulled the clothes on as fast as I could. Looking down, I noticed that I was now wearing a knee-length black skirt and a white blouse. “Hmm, I’m surprised how tame this outfit is.”

“Well, you said you were scared, so…” she muttered, looking away with a blush. “I, uh… I wanted to try and make you more comfortable. Tight bra probably doesn’t help though…”

“Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment. And the bra isn’t too bad.” I told her with a smile.

“Oh… well, good,” she said, smiling back a little before turning and placing a hand on the door again. “You ready?”

“Not really, but I really want to be a dude again so let’s get this over with as soon as possible.”

Zinnia nodded, pushing the door open and stepping inside, holding it open for me. I walked into the room and Luna was on her throne, looking bored out of her mind as per usual. It seemed she didn’t recognize me because her only reaction was to quirk an eyebrow at the two of us.

“Zinnia, who is this that thou have brought before us?”

Zinnia smiled at me, wrapping an arm around my waist and bringing me closer. “I’m surprised you don’t recognise her, Lulu,” she said, glancing up at her. “You’ve shared a bedroom with her enough times, though I suppose she looked a little different then.”

Luna seemed to study me a little bit more before her gaze settled on my metal arm. Her eyes widened as she asked, “Vash, is that thou?”

I smiled weakly at her and waved with my left hand. “Hi Luna, how was your day?” Luna’s expression became hard to read for a while, not saying anything. I was about to open my mouth to say something else, but she started to laugh uproariously.

“Hahaha! Vash, what has happened to thee that has caused such a sudden change?!” She asked between laughs, falling out of her throne.

“Heh, ask Jason,” Zinnia said, giggling a little herself. “Or the voices locked in his head, I suppose. Hodgepodge decided to fuck with Val a little.”

“Because you encouraged him!” I pouted, blushing.

“Yeah, guilty…”

“Well, we thank thee for showing us this. It certainly brought us some levity this evening.” Luna said, wiping a tear from her eye.

“Actually~” Zinnia said, her voice going a little higher as she trailed off. “Hodgepodge outright refused to change Val back into Vash, and Patty said she’d only do it if…”

“Just say it,” I said my blush spreading. “Why do you have to be so dramatic?”

“Fine, fine, just thought you might like to tell her yourself,” Zinnia said, rolling her eyes. “Val has to have sex as a woman to see how it feels. You in?”

“We see no reason not to,” Luna shrugged. “It seems that our subjects were not in dire need of our services anyway.”

“Maybe we could wake Celestia and Morning too?” the Draconid suggested, starting to smirk a little. “And if Val’s up for it, you could use my toy again~”

“That sounds like a fantastic time!” Luna cheered excitedly. “We shall go and get them!” She then teleported out of the room.

Zinnia turned to me, smiling softly. “Wanna get ready?” she asked, shrugging her jacket off.

“I don’t really have much of a choice,” I muttered. “I did agree to anything you wanted, remember?”

The Draconid sighed, closing her eyes. “Val… Vash, I don’t wanna do anything that makes you uncomfortable. I want you to enjoy this.”

“Look, just take the lead on this, and if you do anything I’m uncomfortable with I’ll tell you,” I told her, looking away.

She just nodded, moving closer and taking my hands in hers. “It’s okay, Vash. I promise you’ll enjoy this, if you just relax a little.”

I took a deep breath, held it for a little bit and released it. “Alright, I’ll try to relax as best as I can.”

Zinnia smiled again, leaning forward and pulled me down into a kiss. Honestly there wasn’t much difference in the feeling than when I was a guy. I just focused on the kiss and pushed all of my discomfort away as best as I could. After a little bit, I decided to get a bit brave and let my hands wander. I reached down with my right hand and grabbed Zinnia’s ass.

Zinnia gasped, smirking into our kiss and beginning to explore my body with her hands too. I felt her tongue pressing against my lips, asking permission to enter. Without thinking, I opened my mouth to let her in while my right hand moved up and under her shirt. I shuddered a bit as Zinnia’s tongue started to explore my mouth.

Warning: Toxic Clop materials ahead, handle with care. Move on to the next marked location if you do not wish to see such things.

The Draconid sighed happily, her right hand moving to start unbuttoning my blouse before she seemed to change her mind, instead grabbing the thin fabric and tearing it off of me completely. I rolled my eyes, though the gesture was lost considering they were closed. While Zinnia was working on the bra, my left hand met up with my right and I quickly unhooked hers and pulled it off of her. Zinnia was quick to follow suit, my bra coming off and my breasts seeming to spring out, and she wasted no time in sliding down to pull my nipple into her mouth, suckling it gently. I bit my tongue, trying to avoid making any noise. This only seemed to spur Zinnia on as she started to swirl her tongue around my areola.

“Ahhn!” I cried, as I wrapped my arms around Zinnia’s head. She smirked, gently biting my nipple as she reached and began to fondle the other breast, squeezing and kneading it. “Z-Zinnia, s-slow down!” I whined, though my arms tightened around her head.

Zinnia rolled her eyes, using her tongue to flick and push my nipple around her mouth as she used her free hand to roll my skirt up. I gasped quietly when I felt her begin to rub my folds through the thin material of my panties. I started to pant a bit and had to fight to keep my tongue from lolling out of my mouth.

“Z-Zinnia!” I moaned, my entire face crimson.

“Hm?” she hummed, glancing up at me without stopping.

“I…” I paused, not wanting to say anything else.

Zinnia frowned, letting my breast go. “What’s the matter Vash?” she asked, stopping her actions. “D-do you not like this?”

“N-no, that’s not it!” I blurted out, a little too quickly.

“Then what is it?”

“I… I wanna do the same to you,” I muttered, looking away from her.

Zinnia chuckled, going back to what she was doing before. “Later,” she said, pushing my panties to the side. “This time’s about you.”

I was about to say something in protest, but the words died in my throat as her tongue dragged across my slit. I let out a hiss of air and my brain stopped working for a second as an electric tingle worked through my body.

“You like that?” Zinnia teased, smirking as she planted a kiss over my clit.

Words were failing me at that moment so I didn’t say anything in response to her teasing. “J-just shut up and keep doing what you’re doing,” I managed to get out.

“Whatever you say, Val~” she cooed before diving in, pushing her tongue past my folds and lapping at my inner walls. I let out a long moan at that and nearly fell to my knees, my hands gripping at Zinnia’s hair.

“Hmm~” Zinnia hummed, smirking as she pulled back. “You’re delicious. But turn around, if I know the girls at all I’ll need to get both sides ready for them.” Without giving me time to process that, Zinnia pushed my hands off of her head and spun me around, grabbing my ass and spreading it before lapping at my asshole.

“Gah! That feels weird,” I whined as I squirmed a bit. Zinnia chuckled, pushing her tongue further in as she massaged my asscheeks. “At least slow down a bit!”

“Thou were not lying sister,” A voice chimed in. “It truly does seem that Vash has been transformed into a mare.”

My entire body seized up at the sound of that voice, and sweat formed along my brow. I slowly looked over my shoulder and was greeted by the sight of my three marefriends.

Zinnia removed herself from my flesh, smirking at the three mares. “Hey girls, who wants the first go?” she asked, patting my ass fondly.

Funnily enough, Morning was the first to step up. Well, slither up, but that’s just nitpicking really. “I suppose I could try. It is a rather rare opportunity after all.”

Zinnia smirked again, pulling out a familiar looking toy. My eyes widened a bit at the sight of the toy and I instantly knew what Zinnia was thinking.

“H-hey! You can’t really be thinking of using that thing, are you? I mean, I’m technically a virgin like this and Morning is monster-sized when she uses that!”

“You’re not a virgin,” Zinnia said, rolling her eyes as Morning slithered over to her. “Patty said she made sure of that. And you can take as much as me, so you’re good.” Smirking, she slid the toy into Morning’s slit, the familiar purple glow flashing before my marefriend’s twin members sprung to life.

“Calm yourself, Vash,” Morning said with a small smile. “I promise to be gentle. And thou only need to say one word and I will stop.”

“F-fine,” I grumbled. “If you really wanna do this then I’ll try it.”

“Thank thee,” Morning replied as she wrapped her arms and body around me. I took another deep breath and kept my focus on her face as she dragged her serpentine shaft along my folds. I buried my face into her neck in order to muffle any noises from coming out. Once she felt that she had done enough teasing she started prodding my entrance with her tip. I let out a muffled squeal as she started to ease herself into my slit.

“Heh,” Zinnia chuckled, draping her arms around Celestia and Luna. “Looks like someone’s enjoying this more than they let on.”

“Shut up!” I cried, whipping my head towards her. “It’s all Hodge’s fault for giving me this sensitive body!”

“Oh just take it like a woman,” Zinnia laughed. “Morning, in you go!”

“Already there!” Morning laughed, pushing another inch into me, causing me to bite my tongue. Eventually, Morning’s hips stopped moving and her member was as deep as it could go. “There, that wasn’t so bad, was it Vash?” She asked as she nuzzled me.

“I don’t know how you and the others do this,” I answered, squirming. “This… it feels… weird.” I finally managed to get out.

Zinnia smirked, sliding up behind me. “Oh, it always does when it’s your first time,” she cooed, kneeling down and licking Morning’s second member. “But it gets better. Especially when there’s two~”

“I am so drinking when all this is over,” I said with a blush. I then let out a little squeak as Morning shifted her hips, pulling out much quicker than she had put it in.

“Then perhaps I should make haste,” She said as her tip was the only thing left inside. She then thrusted back in and a short moan passed my lips before I bit my tongue once more. I heard Zinnia let out a muffled cry too, looking down to see her mouth stuffed with Morning’s huge horsecock. Morning hummed in delight before pulling me into a large kiss as she started picking up speed, her coils tightening slightly.

Zinnia pulled away, staggering back slightly. “A-as much fun as that would be,” she gasped, moving over to Celestia and Luna’s side. “I think I’ll sit this round out, let you guys have some bonding time. I’ll take him for a spin last.”

“Very well,” Morning replied, pulling away from the kiss for a brief moment. She dove back in, wrapping her forked tongue around my own. She then pulled her serpentine member out, completely coated in my juices. She then adjusted her hips slightly so that it was lined up with my other hole. My eyes snapped open when she started to prod at it and I silently begged her not to do what she was thinking of doing. If she noticed my pleas she didn’t pay them any mind, burying herself deep inside in one thrust. I let out a gurgling groan just as she lined up her horsecock with my folds and thrusted. Letting it take up residence where her snakedick had just been.

“Wow…” I heard Zinnia breathe. “That’s hot…”

I leveled a glare at her that quickly turned into a wince as Morning started to thrust. I squirmed in a feeble attempt to get free, but Morning’s coils held fast. My body eventually stopped resisting and I went slack in her grasp as her thrusts started picking up in speed. I tried to say something but it just turned into a pitiful gurgle. At one point, Morning’s thrusts began to get jerky and she pulled away from the kiss.

“Vash, I am close. Where wouldst thou like for me to finish?”

I was about to say I didn’t care, but the idea of cleaning jizz out of my ass made me reconsider. “Outside,” I said, catching my breath. Morning nodded, untangling her coils from around me and slipping out of both my holes. I collapsed without her support and looked up to see that she was stroking both of her shafts.

A few seconds later, Morning let out a cry and both of her members started to erupt, splattering my body in several places. I just lay there, taking my impromptu facial until Morning finally finished. Seconds later, Zinnia, Celestia and Luna came into my view, all three smirking at me.

“You shouldn’t waste that, Vash~” Zinnia sang, before all three of them began licking my body, lapping up the cum and taking the time to pause over my most sensitive areas as they did. The Draconid slipped down, licking up anything on my hips and legs before shoving her tongue deep into my folds, all while Celestia and Luna cleaned off by breasts before sucking a nipple each into their mouths, biting and flicking my nipples with their tongues.

“Ahhn!” I cried weakly, my body barely twitching. “C-can’t a guy catch their breath before you start doing that!”

“Thou art not a “guy” right now, Val~” Celestia shot back, smirking before pulling my tit into her mouth again.

“Indeed,” Luna added, reaching down and playing with my clit as Zinnia slurped my folds. “Thou art a female, which means thou art ours for the night.”

“D-damn it, you knew what I meant!” I snapped before my body jerked from Luna pinching my clit. “Gahh~!”

“Val?” Morning said, and I looked up to see her positioned over my face, both cocks rock hard once more. “Wouldst thou mind ‘cleaning’ mine tools?”

I briefly considered saying no, but figured fair’s fair and that she’d done the same for me. I weakly nodded and lifted my head toward her. Morning smiled in response, lining up her snakedick with my lips before pushing it in halfway and holding it there, bracing herself on my shoulders. I nearly retched from the taste but I steadied myself with a quick breath through my nostrils. Figuring it was best to get it done quickly, I wrapped my tongue around her and dragged it along her tool. Morning let out a low moan, causing me to blush again.

All at once, they pulled away, leaving me a panting, shuddering mess. “Well,” Zinnia giggled. “Who’s turn is it next?”

“D-does it have to be someone else’s turn?” I asked, catching my breath.

“Yes!” they all shot back, laughing between themselves.

After the collected themselves, Luna and Celestia shared a look. “Perhaps we could try something with Val next?” Celestia asked, putting an arm around her sister.

“We like thy thinking sister,” Luna giggled, shedding her dress. She paused after a second, though, her smile seeming to become more forced than genuine as she revealed her lacy, powder blue bra and panties. “Ah, We have just remembered… wouldst thou care to explain Our new undergarments?”

“Zinnia!” I cried in fake indignation. “Why would you mess with Luna’s clothes like that?”

Zinnia smirked, shrugging as she slipped the toy out of Morning created two copies of it. “One, it was my gift to Vash,” she said simply, helping Celestia out of her dress too, her smirk growing at the pink and white striped panties she was wearing along with a matching bra. “And two, I changed all of your underwear. Morning’s too, as I’m sure she knows.”

“I do, but considering how hard it is to get garments in my new size I considered it a nicety,” Morning shrugged.

“Okay, so maybe I really liked the idea of you three getting underwear from my time period,” I admitted. “But can you blame me?! Bodies like yours should not be hidden by those cloth prisons that you had!”

“Relax Val, we are not angry,” Celestia said sweetly.

“In fact, let us say thank thee in a… special way~” Luna sang, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

“Lay back and spread your legs girls,” Zinnia cried, smirking as she held the twin toys up. “The Rod Twins are ready for fun!” The two sisters followed her directions and laid on their backs. Zinnia smirked at me, not breaking eye contact as she inserted both of the toys into them, sliding their panties to the side. I gulped as the familiar purple glow shined through the throne room. When it passed both princesses stood up, causing their magically grown members to bob up and down

“Art thou ready, Val?” Celestia asked with smoldering eyes.

“If I say no will I get out of this?” I asked with a hopeful smile.

“If you say no, it’s my turn,” Zinnia growled seductively, smirking at me.

“And even then we would simply take our turn afterwards,” Luna said with a wink, getting in front of me while Celestia got behind me. The two then put me on all fours and I gulped again as I felt them press against me from both sides.

“I don’t suppose we could… Mmmph!” I was interrupted as Luna shoved her length down my throat, causing me to gag for a moment. Not to be out done, Celestia shoved her own member into my folds, her crotch slapping into my ass, causing it to wobble slightly and me to lurch forward, more of Luna’s shaft sliding into my throat.

“Hmm~” Zinnia hummed, watching with some sick pleasure. “That certainly does look fun. Maybe I’ll join in myself, you do have another hole free~”

I tried to shout something at her in response, but it turned into gurgling hums along Luna’s tool. She moaned as I did that and started thrusting a little faster in response.

“Now, now Zinnia,” Morning chuckled as she patted the Draconid on the shoulder. “She’s busy enough as it is. Mayhaps thou could find something else to occupy thyself with?”

Zinnia smirked at that and, in a flurry of movement, tore her clothes off, pouncing on Morning and knocking the Naga onto her back. “Or someone, hmm?”

“I suppose that could be arranged,” Morning replied, making a show out of sighing. Zinnia giggled at her display before leaning down, kissing Morning roughly and grasping her breasts.

“Don’t pretend you don’t wanna get revenge on me,” the Draconid breathed, nipping at Morning’s lower lip. “You can do whatever you want… this time…”

“I think nearly choking thee with my magically grown phalluses is revenge enough for me. But thy offer is appreciated,” Morning smiled as her coils instantly wrapped the two of them. “And noted.”

“Oh, I only choked because I wasn’t expecting it,” Zinnia chuckled, moaning happily as Morning slid over both of her entrances. “I’ve taken much bigger than you into my mouth, trust me. I can probably take both your dicks actually.”

“Either way, I am not one for petty revenge,” Morning giggled, grasping Zinnia’s breasts in turn and twisting a nipple slightly. “Though thy other offer is intriguing.”

The Draconid moaned, biting her lower lip. “And it sta-hands~” she moaned out. “Just… just make sure you give me your all…”

“I’ll consider it,” Morning said with a smirk as she twisted Zinnia’s nipple a bit more, making her cry out.

“I-I am yours to use…” Zinnia moaned. “M-my Mistress~”

“Thou dost certainly seem quite ready to don the role of pet,” Morning teased, twisting and pulling at both of Zinnia’s nipples and teething on the Draconid’s exposed neck. Zinnia moaned again, reaching into her back and pulling out a black leather collar with purple markings and a tag shaped like a Dragon’s claw, pulling back and holding it out to Morning.

“A-A Mistress always has the honours…” she mumbled.

Morning rolled her eyes a bit and took the collar from Zinnia’s hands. “Quite the lover of theatrics, aren’t thee?” Morning asked as she put the collar on Zinnia’s neck before picking up the movements of her tail. Zinnia bit back a moan before replying.

“S-says the Shakespeare ripoff…”

“I have no idea what thou art talking about, but keep talking like that and thou shalt not get any release,” Morning told her, stopping all of her ministrations.

“No!” Zinnia cried. “No, I’m sorry MIstress! Please don’t do that to me!”

“That’s much better,” Morning said with a kiss on the cheek as she picked up where she left off, slipping the tip of her tail into Zinnia’s folds and wiggling it. Zinnia moaned aloud, arching her back and bracing herself against Morning’s chest, her hands sinking into the Naga’s large breasts. Morning let out a coo of her own as she pulled Zinnia into a rough kiss. Then, she thrust a bit more of her tail into the Draconid’s hole.

“Mmmph~” Zinnia cried into the kiss, closing her eyes and allowing Morning total control.

Morning pulled away from the kiss for a moment and asked, “Toy with my lower lips. I desire a release as well.”

Zinnia nodded numbly, reaching down and rubbing her hand over Morning’s slit lovingly. “Mmm,” Morning cooed before diving back into the kiss, nipping at Zinnia’s lips with her fangs.

“M-Mistress…” Zinnia moaned, shuddering in Morning’s hold. “M-may I… please you… with my m-mouth?”

Morning feigned thinking it over, but eventually said, “If you wish, but my tail is staying where it is.” She then unwound her coils and allowed Zinnia to fall to the floor.

“Oomph!” Zinnia cried, glancing up at her Mistress and smiling gratefully. “Th-thank you Mistress…” she said, bowing her head before sliding down Morning’s body, her face hovering above the Naga’s slit before she began to lap at her lower lips.

“Very good,” Morning said, resuming her thrusts into Zinnia. “Don’t be afraid to… nibble on my clitoris. That always drives me wild.”

Zinnia nodded, moaning into Morning’s folds as she began to dart her tongue in and out of her, dragging her teeth along the edges of her lips. Morning shuddered in pleasure, pressing her tail in as deep as she could and wiggling it along the inner walls. Again, the Draconid let out a low moan, repositioning herself and pulling Morning’s clit into her mouth, nibbling it slightly and flicking it with her tongue. Morning moaned as well, toying with her chest as her tail started to thrash around erratically inside of Zinnia.

“Mmm, that feels fantastic!” Morning complimented enthusiastically. Zinnia smiled in response, doubling her efforts and biting on the Naga’s clit a little harder. Morning let out a scream of pleasure, her tail threatening to batter past the Draconid’s cervix as her tongue lolled out of her mouth.

“Gah!” Zinnia cried, arching her back and her tongue hanging out of her mouth in bliss. “M-Mistress! Please, g-go deeper!”

“Art thou sure?” Morning asked, coming out her pleasure high slightly.

Smiling dopily, Zinnia lowered herself back to Morning’s slit, close enough that her breath washed over it with each word. “Y-yes, please~ I-I love the f-feeling~”

Morning nodded and bit her lip as she pushed her tail further. She shuddered in pleasure as the tip of her tail struggled against the entrance to Zinnia’s cervix. With a grunt and one mighty push, the tip made it inside causing Morning and Zinnia both to cry out in pleasure.

“A-ah, Mistresss~” the Draconid hissed, closing her eyes and arching her back in bliss. She leaned back, sliding further on to Morning’s tail.

“Z-Zinnia, I did not tell thee to stop what thou were doing,” Morning said, trying to sound authoritative, but the effect was lost due to her pleasure drunk appearance. Zinnia, however, had the decency to look ashamed before diving back into her task, inserting two fingers into Morning’s slit as she returned to nibbling her clit. “Mmm that’s so much better,” Morning groaned, bucking her hips. “I can almost feel my control slipping away~”

Zinnia said nothing, merely continuing her efforts to pleasure her Mistress as much as she could. Pausing for a second as a thought occurred to her, she then glanced up at Morning's face, watching her intently as she bit down roughly on the Naga’s clit.

“Aaah~!” Morning cried, squeezing her eyes closed as her tongue slipped further out of her mouth. “Do that again, harder!” She demanded. Nodding a little, Zinnia pulled off for a second.

“C-can I t-try something, Mistress?” she asked, showing off her teeth as they seemed to sharpen themselves, electricity arcing between them. “Th-this always provides p-pleasure for me.”

“Do it!” Morning demanded, her pupils becoming more slit-like. “I wish to feel thy best.”

As soon as the words reached her ears, Zinnia’s eyes also became slitted, and she immediately removed her fingers from Morning’s slit. Waiting for the Naga to open her mouth in protest, she then formed a fist before jamming her whole hand roughly into Morning’s opening, opening her hand once inside and allowing a Dragon Claw to erupt in her depths even while she leaned down, chomping roughly on Morning’s clit once more, this time sending shocks through her with a Thunder Fang.

“Ahhh~!” Morning screamed, fluids erupting from her slit while her tail spasmed inside of Zinnia. Her entire body twitching with aftershocks of pleasure. Zinnia screamed into her clit as her own orgasm crashed down, using her claws to brush the insides of her Mistress’s walls in order to bring her the most pleasure she could.

Morning allowed the top half of her body fall to the floor as she tried to slip her tail from Zinnia’s abused hole as she panted in an attempt to catch her breath. “Th-that felt… nice,” she managed to get out, shooting Zinnia a tired but satisfied look.

Zinnia said nothing, diligently licking Morning’s fluids from her tail, though she did pause to smile appreciatively at the praise.

“Mmm, you don’t have to do that,” Morning shuddered. “You’ll just make me want more.”

Immediately, Zinnia sped up. She even glanced up at Morning, flashing her a cocky smirk.

“Zinnia~” Morning cooed with discolored cheeks. “Thy mistress ordered thee to stop.”

“With all due respect, Mistress,” Zinnia replied, smirking at her. “No you didn’t. You said I didn’t have to.” With that, she returned to her licking, rubbing Morning’s tail gently.

“Then let me make myself clear,” Morning chuckled darkly. “Stop, or Vash and I will punish thee severely when he returns to being himself.”

“But…” the Draconid whined, glancing from Morning’s eyes to her slit. “You… You taste so good!”

“Be that as it may, I have just had two very large orgasms and would like some rest. We can pick this up later after I have rested.”

“B-but…” Zinnia stammered, clearly struggling with something. She glanced back to me, Celestia and Luna, me getting pounded from both ends while the princesses were moaning out my name. “Can… can I at least suckle on your breasts while I wait for my turn with Val?” she asked almost desperately.

“Only if I can do the same to thine later,” Morning said with a wink.

Nodding eagerly, Zinnia straddled Morning’s waist and laid her head on the Naga’s left breast, pulling the right nipple into her mouth and suckling it gently whilst hugging her Mistress.

“Mmm, does that feel better?” Morning asked as she wrapped her arms and coils around Zinnia and stroked the top of her head.

“Mmhm,” the Draconid replied, nodding a little. She cuddled a little closer to Morning, watching me and the Princesses go at it.

“How does this feel?” Luna asked as she let her head loll a little bit. I didn’t answer. Not that I could with my mouth as full as it was. Instead, I screwed my eyes closed and focused on breathing through my nose as Luna thrusted faster and faster.

Celestia was just as rough on my other end. Groping and spanking my ass as she pounded into me with reckless abandon. The sad thing was, my body was receptive to her actions. Lubricating fluids dripping to the floor as she pushed further and further into me. Just when I thought I couldn’t take any more, both of their thrusting started to take on a fever pitch. The sound of their hips smacking into me echoing throughout the throne room.

“Sister, we art close!” Luna moaned.

“Us too!”

Watching intently, Zinnia began to subconsciously nibble on Morning’s nipple, drooling all over her breast.

“Shall we finish together?” Luna asked, starting to jackhammer into me.

“Yes, let’s!” Celestia beamed, matching her pace.

I tried to say something and wiggle away, but judging by their enthusiastic cries, this only served to pleasure them more. Within a few more rapid thrusts, both of them buried themselves to their hilts, unleashing a large load into my mouth and pussy with thunderous cries of release in their royal voices. Causing the room to shake slightly. I shuddered a bit as I felt their loads taper off. I swear Luna tasted like blueberries as her length left my lips with a wet *pop*. Without both of them supporting me I collapsed to the floor and started gasping for air like a fish. My chest heaving with each breath.

Zinnia wasted no time, rushing over and helping me to my feet, Celestia slipping out as she did so. I went to thank her, only to find my hands bound above my head, suddenly attached to a length of rope that fastened me to the ceiling.

“You deserve a quick breather, Val,” the Draconid explained, smiling sweetly as she planted a quick kiss on my lips. “In the meantime, I think I deserve a turn in charge, don’t you?”

“Umm, Zinnia, why am I tied up?” I asked with a nervous gulp.

“Because I wanted you tied up,” Zinnia replied with a giggle, booping my nose. “Now hush, or I’ll add a gag and a vibrator.” I clammed up instantly at the mention of that and remained completely still in my bonds. “Good girl~”

I watched as Zinnia turned and sashayed away, swaying her hips almost teasingly.

‘What is she going to do to me?’ I thought as I continued to watch her. ‘Is she going to break out something like a whip or a riding crop? Or is she going to dress me up in some outfit and tell me to act like something?’

Zinnia smirked, beckoning Morning over as she removed the toys from Celestia and Luna, the copies fading away shortly after. “Alright ladies,” she said, pushing the sisters to their knees before her and sending Morning a look saying she should do what she could to do the same. They all shared a look and Celestia was the first to seem to go along with whatever Zinnia was planning as Morning lowered herself a bit.

“I thought thou wanted a turn with Vash?” Morning asked, confused.

“Val, darling,” Zinnia chided. “Her name is Val for the time being. And you brought to my attention that she may need a break, therefore, I’m having my fun with you three. Unlike some, I can go almost ten rounds before tiring.”

“And what dost thou plan on having us doing?” Luna asked.

“Oh, mostly pleasing me,” Zinnia said dismissively, taking on a thoughtful look. “Maybe doing something embarrassing to earn your own pleasure. Maybe even putting on a show for me, seeing as watching you two go at it is pretty hot.” She said the last bit while pointing between Celestia and Luna, grinning evilly.

“Ok!” Celestia beamed, totally on board with whatever Zinnia had planned.

“And what makes thou think I will just go along with thy plans?” Morning huffed with slightly discolored cheeks.

“Because I have an ace in the hole that I’m going to be using anyway.”

“What in blue blazes art thou talking about now?” Luna growled with a tilt of her head.

Smirking, Zinnia just crossed her arms and waited. A few moments later, a slight “Fwumph” noise announced the arrival of a figure almost as tall as the Draconid, with light lavender skin and black hair styled really strangely, a segmented black dress covering it’s body.

“Next time you hitch a ride through dimensions,” Zinnia said, glancing to the figure. “Do me a favour and tell me, instead of sending me the sounds of your masturbating in my head while you watch me fuck.”

“And what fun would that be?” The figure asked as my eyes widened.

“Umm Zinnia,” I started, rattling in my bonds a bit. “I know you told me not to talk, but I think I just understood that Gothitelle when she talked.”

“I’m Psychic, you sexy little thing,” the Gothitelle ‘said’, turning to smirk at me as she roamed her eyes across my body. “I’m not ‘speaking’, I’m projecting my voice.”

“And the Pokemon just hit on me,” I deadpanned. “Ow, that just hit me right in the childhood.”

“I’ll give you a child to raise in a minute if you don’t go back to your hushing,” Zinnia growled, frowning at me.

I clammed up with after a quick sorry and hung limply in my restraints.

“Zinnia, I thought that thou said that Sonar and Writher were the only two of these Pokemon creatures that came with thee to our world?” Luna asked looking between her and the Gothitelle.

“I did,” Zinnia said, nodding. “Because I didn’t know about this one until I figured out the voices in my head weren’t some side-effect of the mental asylum. Which was this morning.”

‘Convenient,’ I thought.

“And what manner of creature is this Pokemon?” Morning asked.

“Like I said, I’m Psychic,” the Gothitelle said, giggling slightly. “Or rather, I’m a Psychic-Type. I use my mind to attack and influence others.”

“And I’m fairly certain she knows Hypnosis,” Zinnia tittered, nudging the Pokemon.

“Hypnosis, what is that?” Morning asked.

“And we do not like the way… she said influence,” Luna noted, glaring at the Gothitelle.

“Luna, it’s okay,” Zinnia giggled before baring her teeth, which had once again sharpened. “If she tries anything, I’ll just take her out. But hypnosis is used in the bedroom a lot to make people more… agreeable, and to make them feel more than they normally would. For example…” She trailed off, and a second later I gulped as the Gothitelle giggled and turned to face me.

Psychic waves flowed into my mind visibly as the Gothitelle’s voice rang out. “The very air around you makes you aroused. You take sexual pleasure from merely being looked at.”

I let out an odd squeak as I could feel my body heat up and an electrifying tingle worked into my netherlips. “Ahh~!” I cried as I rubbed my legs together. “P-please stop looking at me!” I pleaded. “This is so weird!”

“Thy Pokemon’s hypnosis can do that?” Luna asked nervously.

“Looks fun!” Celestia quipped.

“Oh, it can be~” Zinnia giggled before nodding to the Gothitelle, who released my hypnosis with a wave of her hand. “So I planned to have her make you three incredibly submissive to me, and to heighten your senses.”

“Oh, I could do that~” Gothitelle purred.

“This is only temporary, correct?” Luna asked with a quirked eyebrow.

“Of course,” Zinnia said, nodding. “I don’t want permanent control, just for this one session. What would I do with your kingdom anyway, I live in another universe!” The three exchanged looks before shrugging at one another.

“I suppose there’s no harm in trying this hypnosis once,” Morning relented.

“We agree, we have already tried new things sexually anyway,” Luna nodded.

“Looks fun!” Celestia repeated.

Zinnia smirked, snapping her fingers. Gothitelle giggled and nodded, holding her hand out to the girls as blue-tinted psychic waves began flowing towards them, splitting into three and sinking slowly into their foreheads, right between their eyes, just below their horns. I watched in awe as their eyes pulsed a soft, powder blue for a moment.

“Look at me,” Zinnia said simply, her voice carrying an underlying authority. All three of them turned and stared directly into her eyes without hesitation. Staying stock still as they waited for Zinnia to speak again.

“Zinnia,” I called out, wiggling in my restraints slightly. “You’re not going to make them do anything too… extreme, right?”

“That depends~” Zinnia giggled, turning and glancing at me, sending pleasant tingles through my body. “I’m not sure how I feel today. I may make them run around the castle naked, then have Gothitelle erase all but their own memories. I might make Celestia ram her horn into Luna’s ass. Or I might just sit back and let Gothitelle have some fun.”

“Okay,” I sighed. “I trust your judgement.” The three girls remained where they were, still waiting for Zinnia and her next order.

The Draconid chuckled almost darkly, a hint of an evil glint in her eye as she turned back. “Hmm… Celestia, Luna, go behind a pillar and put these on,” she said, reaching into her bag (does she ever take that off!?) and throwing two bundles of clothes over, which they grabbed in their magic before walking stiffly over to a pillar each and disappearing behind them.

“Morning, I just want you in these,” Zinnia continued, producing a set of royal purple nipply pasties with red and gold tassles. Morning nodded obediently, presenting herself as Zinnia and the Gothitelle leaned down. They grinned, taking one of her massive breasts each and running their tongues slowly over her nipples, leaving them glistening with their saliva before pressing the pasties slowly over them, pushing so that her breasts sank in before letting go, watching the orbs of flesh jiggle as they bounced back to shape.

‘Damn, that was pretty hot,’ I thought with slightly discolored cheeks. ‘But what kind of outfit could Zinnia have put the princesses in? Bunny girls, or something else?’ I turned my head to the pillar where Celestia and Luna were changing and narrowed my eyes to see if I could catch sight of anything.

As though answering my silent calls, both princesses strode out, a sway in their steps as they modeled their new belly dancer outfits, Celestia's a vibrant blue and Luna's a striking red. Zinnia glanced up at them and smirked, snapping her fingers to gain their attention.

“Very nice girls,” she praised, nodding approvingly. “They suit you. Now then, from now on, Celestia will be known as Candi Ass, and Luna as Sugah Tits.”

‘Seriously?’ I thought with a deadpan look. ‘Really hoping she doesn’t try to give me a name like that. Can only imagine what Luna would think about that name without the hypnosis. Celestia probably loves hers.’

“Yes, Mistress Zinnia,” both mares said, smiling gently as they bowed to her.

“Good girls. Now then, put on a good show and dance a little for us, either side of Valerie.”

They bowed again and sashayed over to me with exaggerated movements in their hips and their wings twitching on their backs. The two stopped when they were only a couple feet away from me and had the most devious of smirks on their faces as they struck a pose.Then, they started doing what looked like a belly dance, swaying their bodies to music that only the two of them could hear and toying with their outfits as if to tease exposing their bodies. The two continued, gyrating and twirling as whatever melody they were hearing seemed to pick up its tempo. Eventually, the two finished with one last big spin and pressed their chests together, their hands interwoven and staring deep into the other’s eyes.

‘Sweet mother of god was that hot!’ I screamed in my head as I twitched in my bonds again, my face feeling flush.

“That was good, girls!” Zinnia cried, apparently having taken a seat in Morning’s coils, using the Naga’s breasts as a pillow. “Now, start making out, but if a single hand goes under clothing you won’t be able to cum until I say so.”

The two instantly pressed their faces together, their hands staying exactly where they were. From where I was… hanging I got a good look of everything they were doing. I rubbed my legs together, my underside starting to burn up as the two continued their passionate display.

“Oh, and Val?” Zinnia called, catching my attention. I felt Gothitelle’s presence in my mind again and gulped. “You can now feel yourself being fucked by countless ravenous men, each one filling you with their seed, but you can’t cum once. Not until I fuck you myself.”

I cried out, suddenly feeling every hole of my body being filled. Even my mouth felt like there was something in it down to my throat, but my breathing was still normal. It was one of the hardest things to describe. I turned to Zinnia with the meanest glare I could manage, but I’m sure it was just a strained look. “F-fuck you, Zinnia!” I choked out, my body thrashing wildly.

“Please,” Gothitelle chided, gliding up next to me and flicking my nipple. “Call Mistress by her proper title, or I’ll punish you myself.”

‘Eat me,’ I thought darkly. She just smirked, flicking my nipple again.

“Only if Mistress permits it,” she replied, pinching and twisting my nipple harshly. “Now, her title, if you please?”

‘How did she....’ I started before the realization hit me. ‘Oh, right, Psychic-Type. She can read my mind.’

“I’d do it, Val,” Zinnia chuckled, reaching between her legs and playing with Morning’s slit. “I’ve already given her free choice over what to do with you. She might just drop you in the Guard Barracks.”

“Grrr,” I growled out before I remembered my promise. “Mistress Zinnia,” I muttered.

“Louder,” the Draconid purred, smirking evilly. “I want you to shout it.”

“Mistress Zinnia!” I shouted, my cheeks beet red.

“Again,” Zinnia said, leaning into Morning as she spoke. “Oh, and all of the men are now me. And you can see them. Scream my name as your hallucinations drive you mad.”

Just as she said, several illusions of her wavered into existence. Each one thrusting wildly and had that same evil smirk that she was currently leveling at me. I gritted my teeth and let out a harsh hiss of air before screaming, “Mistress Zinnia!”

Zinnia chuckled, standing and stalking over to me. She ran her hand over Cel- Candi and Sugah as she passed them, making both moan quietly into the other. Once she reached me, she leaned down, breathing into my ear. “Even when the control is over…” she whispered, pausing to nibble on my earlobe. “There will be a part of you that yearns for it to happen again. That’s not a command, that’s a fact.” I didn’t respond with words. I simply stared into her eyes as the illusion Zinnia’s kept at their task and my body felt like it was on fire. I let out an odd squeak and twitched for a moment.

“Hmm, there’s your orgasm…” Zinnia breathed, smirking at me as she stepped away. “They’ll just keep building up now… until you feel like you’ll explode~” She chuckled, turning and striding away. “But I’ll let you free when I feel generous. For now… Morning, come here!”

“Yes Mistress~” Morning cooed happily as she slithered up to Zinnia and bowed before her.

Zinnia hummed in thought for a moment before smiling, cupping Morning’s chin and raising her gaze to look in her eyes. “Your name is Cum Whore. Tell me, what is your name?”

“Cum Whore~” She purred, nuzzling Zinnia’s hand. “Thy Cum Whore, to fill and fuck or deny as thou wishes~”

“Good girl. Now then, rise and start to play with yourself.”

Morning nodded, putting her left hand on her breast and tweaking her nipple as her other started to slowly toy with her folds. She locked eyes with Zinnia and never broke her gaze as she played with her body.

“Beautiful,” Zinnia praised, smirking at her. “Candi! Sugah! Come here!”

The two pulled away from each other, a stream of saliva connecting them for a brief moment as the rushed over to Zinnia.

“Yes Mistress?!” They chimed together with a bow. Zinnia held her arms out to her sides, not even looking at them.

“Undress me. But don’t touch my body,” she said. “That is reward-only.”

“Okay,” They chimed together, though they seemed visibly disappointed. They slowly and carefully peeled away Zinnia’s clothes, making sure they didn’t touch her skin. Eventually, Candi and Sugah were finished and Zinnia was laid bare again, a devious smirk on her face.

“Good girls~” she cooed, turning to them. “Now then, a single touch to any part of your body from me will send you straight to climax. Do you understand?” Both nodded quickly, enthusiastically awaiting their reward with wide grins.

“Yes Mistress!” Candi enthused.

“Thank thee, Mistress!” Sugah beamed.

Zinnia reached out to them, stopping just short of touching them as she suddenly frowned. “Yeah, that’s getting old. Okay girls - Cum Whore, you too,” she added quickly, and Cum Whore nodded to show she was listening. “Whenever I’m present, you speak perfect, modern English… Equish… whatever the language in Equestria is. Basically how Val and I speak.”

“Yes Mistress,” all three mares agreed, nodding.

“Good. Now then~” With that, she finally placed her hands on one of Candi and Sugah’s breasts each, squeezing them roughly and making both mares scream in bliss.

“Ahhhh! Thank you so much, Mistress!” Candi cried, writhing on the floor as she rode out her climax.

“Yes! Thank you so much, Mistress! This is simply amazing!” Sugah agreed, toying with her slit to prolong her orgasm. She frowned, however, when the feeling cut off, leaving her panting and unfulfilled.

“Oh, Sugah Tits…” Zinnia sighed, shaking her head. “Don’t you remember? I told you not to place a hand under your clothes or you couldn’t cum until I said. Now you have to be punished.”

Lu...Sugah’s face fell and she looked like she was on the verge of tears as she threw herself at Zinnia’s feet. “I am so sorry, Mistress! I forgot due to the pleasure of your generous gift. Please, forgive me!”

“...No,” the Draconid said coldly, frowning at Sugah. “You disobeyed me and must be punished. Now stand up.”

Sugah quickly agreed and shot up to her feet, steeling herself to face whatever punishment her Mistress saw fit to deliver. “I promise to never disobey again, Mistress.”

“Of course you do,” Zinnia replied, fastening a collar around the mare’s neck and pulling her along by a leash. Quickly removing me from my bonds, Zinnia then tied Sugah up, dangling her from the ceiling and adding wing covers, a horn ring and even a spreader bar.

“Val, your treatment’s over,” Zinnia said, and second later all of the ravaging I felt in my body vanished, causing me to sigh in relief. “Sugah Tits, you’re going to feel your ass fucked and filled over and over, but you can’t cum from it. If you make so much as a single noise, you won’t be filled, only fucked. Understood?”

“Yes Mistress,” she nodded. “I deserve something like this for being so bad,” she finished with a whimper.

“Yes, you do,” Zinnia agreed, her tone cold. “Perhaps if you behave for now, you can taste me. We’ll see. Your punishment starts now.” Sugah’s body shot up and she bit her lip to avoid making a noise. Her wings twitched wildly in her covers as her hips started pumping as if someone was thrusting into her. Sugah locked eyes with Zinnia, making sure she got a good look of her punishment. Then, her hips started moving faster and she bit her lip until a small trickle of blood formed at the corner to make sure she didn’t so much as squeak.

Leaning in, Zinnia kissed the blood away, gently fondling Sugah’s tits. “You don’t need to bite your lip, Sugah…” she whispered, producing a bar-gag and fastening it around Sugah’s face. “There, now you can bite down on that. I don’t want you hurt, after all.” Sugah nodded fast just before her hips started moving in a violent blur. She threw her head back, biting down on the gag as hard as she could.

This is the end of the clop.

Zinnia watched her for a moment longer before turning around. She locked eyes with me, a dark grin on her face. “Now then, Valerie~”

“Wh-what is it… Mistress?” I hastily added, not wanting to end up in another illusion.

Zinnia chuckled, holding out her hand to help me up. “Ah, good girl, you remembered~” she purred.

‘I’m still a man on the inside dammit,’ I grumbled in my thoughts as I let her help me to my feet. I just stood there, not saying anything as I waited for whatever it was that Zinnia was planning.

“You realise Gothitelle is sharing what you think with me, right?” she asked teasingly. “And I’m sure she could alter your memories. I can persuade Patty to leave you like that.”

“Don’t even joke about that,” I growled.

“Who’s joking?” she growled back, glaring at me challengingly as her eyes bacame slits. “You’re mine for the night.”

My anger melted for a moment and I let out a long sigh. “Zinnia, do you know how much I kept of my old body when I became a Displaced?”

Zinnia faltered for a moment, her eyes shifting between slits and normal for a moment before settling on slits. “Don’t care right now. Submit, slave!”

“Alright then, let me answer that for you,” I continued, ignoring her. “Basically, just my gender. The hair? I dyed it to make it blonde. The eyes? Colored contacts. My height? I used to be just a few inches taller than what you are now.”

Again, Zinnia faltered, actually stumbling back this time until she hit a pillar, sliding down it and clutching her head. I rushed over to her side and placed a hand along her back.

“Zinnia, are you okay?” I asked, genuinely worried.

The Draconid was silent for a moment before her shoulders began shaking, small sobs filling the room. “G-Goothitelle…” she stammered, huddling her knees close. “Release them…”

“...Yes Mistress…” Gothitelle replied, waving her hand and releasing all three mares from her control. She even undid all of Luna’s binds.

“Zinnia?” I asked, starting to rub her back.

“...I’m going to bed…” she muttered, snapping her fingers. I heard Gothitelle sigh in my mind before she teleported, taking Zinnia with her.

“Oh, you are not getting away that easy,” I muttered as I dashed out of the throne room. I ran naked along the halls until I stood in front of the door to the room Zinnia was staying in. I saw Sonar sitting in front of the door in his Noibat form as he cradled the gryphon egg. I patted behind his ears as I threw the door open. I found Zinnia sitting on the bed, still not under the covers.

“And why did my Mistress leave me?” I asked as I sat next to her on the bed.

“Go ‘way Vash…” Zinnia muttered in response, holding a pillow close to her chest as she curled up, refusing to look at me. “‘M not in the mood anymore…”

“Val, it’s Val when I’m like this,” I reminded her with a smile as I put a hand on her shoulder. I frowned when she flinched, though, shrugging me off seconds later. “Zinnia, please talk to me.”

“...Vash…” she said, still not looking at me. “I-I… I was going to hurt you…” She paused, fighting back tears. “I-I know you think I w-wouldn’t, but…. but I-I was going to… to…” She broke down then, burying her face in the pillow and weeping openly.

“Shhh,” I told her softly. “You didn’t hurt me, and that’s the important thing. You controlled yourself. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard that must’ve been.”

“I-I’m still doing it…” she muttered. “Th-the Dragon… she w-wants you, Vash. A-and she’d r… sh-she would…” She paused again, choking on the word. “I-I can’t even say it…”

“I know, but you’re stronger than her,” I said with a warm smile.

“No… N-no I’m not…” Okay, she’s growling now. “P-please, Vash, just go…For your own safety...”

“I’m not going anywhere,” I stated adamantly. “Look at me Zinnia,” I ordered firmly.

“N-no…” she stammered, shaking again as tears streamed silently down her face. “P-please, Vash… D-don’t make me…”

“I’m not going anywhere,” I repeated as I forced her to stare me in the eyes. My circular pupils meeting her slitted ones. “You are my family now and I’m not leaving you like this. Just focus on me, not the dragon.”

Zinnia did just that, staying into my eyes almost reluctantly. I watched as one pupil - the right one - grew again, returning to normal. My concern grew a little, though, when it seemed that a fire ignited behind her left eye, seeming to burn bright the more she struggled.

“Vash…” Zinnia stammered, slipping between scared and angry tones. “P-please… I-I can’t…”

“Yes, you can. I know you can,” I told her softly, refusing to even blink. I frowned, though, when I saw her glance up, seeming to start panicking more. “Zinnia!” I barked. “I told you to just focus on me.”

“Vash, get rid of them!” she screamed, struggling to get away. “They’re not safe!”

“Zinnia!” I roared as I held her even tighter. “You’re not going to hurt anyone, I promise you.”

“H-how do you know that!” Zinnia cried, her wings fluttering in her panic. “Please! Just let me run!”

“I know because I believe in you. Do you trust me?” I asked with a weak smile.

“T-trusting you isn’t the problem…”

“Just answer the question.”

Zinnia was silent for a minute, her eyes wavering as she glanced from me to the door and back. Her wings furled and unfurled, her hands flared with energy before is was dispersed, her muscles tensed in my grip.

“...Yes.”

“Then trust me on this,” I told her with a giant toothy grin.

Zinnia nodded, eyes filled with both terror and hope.

“Focus on me and match my breathing, nothing else matters but that.” I said as I started taking a few deep breaths. She nodded again, slowing her breathing to match mine as she locked onto my eyes.

“H-help… me…”

“I am, I won’t leave, I’m here for you.” This continued for a while, and it slowly seemed to work, her other pupil becoming more rounded.

“Do you really think it’s that easy?”

Zinnia’s eyes widened again in fear, a black cloud of mist spewing from her mouth and enveloping me.

“Wh-what is this?!” I shouted as I felt my mind slip into unconsciousness.
