***Asphyxious pov. five days after meeting Ken.***

I was thinking about calling Ava to help out Starlight and her town ponies who were staying with us. It did make the castle more busy than it used to be. I even had Sonya set up a teleporter crystal in the castle. My own undead ponies were helping them, hmmm maybe I should give them a name. There not really undead, but at the same time they are partly alive and still have free will.

“Couldn’t hurt, I’ll see if Ava can help me out.” I said as I pulled her token out of my Echo, igniting the brazier to activate it. “Hey Ava it me again, I found more undead ponies who could use your help.”

“Whoa, this thing actually is still working? Hold on, let me get out of the street.” Ava’s voice echoed from her fiery blue token, and almost immediately her blue fire-rimmed dark portal formed slightly off to the side, and when she came through, she seemed different again. She had the same figure, only unlike before she was now only six feet tall, and from what I could see of her face under her hood and above her bandanna was pure black and had a smooth shine akin to the most polished of gems, the same could be said for her captivating emerald green eyes. “Well, how do? I figured that time-traveling bit with being summoned to the future in my own world was just a fluke. Guess the Null Barrier can’t prevent Tokens from working.”

I watched as her portal faded and her Merchant outfit rapidly shifted from a faded and dead-looking gray to a freshly oiled jet black. “So stud, what’s the rub? You call for a deal like I heard, or ya just looking for an excuse to try and Hoard me again?” Ava teased with her hands on her foal-bearing hips. “Cause to be honest, I’m actually not all that randy right now, for once. So if you’re looking for a good rut, ‘fraid you’re gonna have to settle for one of your lovers.” Ava giggled in mirth as I frowned at her.

“You’re the primary reason I’ve got such blue-balled Hoarding tendencies in the first place Ava. The amount of trouble my new libido has caused is legendary. It’s practically doomed entire worlds.” I informed her, only getting her to laugh haughtily, as if it was her intention in the first place. “Damn fertility-slash-chaos goddesses. Whatever, I don’t exactly hate what you’ve done to me, but I didn’t actually summon you here for a romp.”

“Oh really? Well do tell-no, wait. I sense it. Found more poor undead souls did ya?” I sighed with a nod. Before pulling out Poison Dagger Soul cage? Core. Whatever and show it to her.

“And this is the one who did it, I was thinking of turning him into a magical battery or something.” I said with a small smile on my face. “As well as block off his ability to use magic. Oh that reminds me have you meet Ken the Dragonbound? I think you would like his Applejack who part dragon now.”

“Um, no? And why would I care about some mare named Applejack?” Ava asked curiously, before shrugging. “Well, we could make this easy, just give me this little prick and I’ll eat him, that’d be worth enough to restore any lost memories too for any of the new undead you want resurrected.”

“Sounds good to me, Just try and not disturb Revan or Gwen. Let just say Revan would kick my ass and Gwen pregnant.” I explained, but then I saw the look in her eyes. “No don’t even think about it.”

“Asphy, I’m a goddess, whose only real known weakness is total magic nullification. I’m totally going to troll a Revan if I happen upon her. So no promises. Now give that son-of-a-bitch here so I can send him to true oblivion.” I sighed as I hand over the core, it not like I can stop her.

“Just don’t over do it, they’re my hoard mates.” I implored.

“Who isn’t by this point~?” Ava lilted knowingly, getting me to leer at her. I swear if she wasn’t so sexy and can drive me into a rut, I would have said something about that. “Now then...hm...Poison Dagger...quite the douche you were hm? Well, I hope you don’t mind me devouring your soul. I’m not about to let your fetid little essence drift into the web of reincarnation.” Ava brought the cage to her head, removing her bandanna to reveal her gorgeous and lustrous black crystal pony face, and bit it with her unimpressive flat teeth.

I could practically feel the utter terror and agony from the soul cage as it fractured, cracked, and began to glow red before it succumbed to Ava’s power and turned into red energy, flying down her throat and she swallowed with a content sigh. “Mm...he tasted like liquorish.” Ava huskily purred as she licked her shiny, sexy, kissable lips.

“God damn it why does she have to sound so hot.” I then realized I said that out loud. “Fuck.”

“Don’t bother Asphy, I’m basically a physical manifestation of raw sex. I know what you’re thinking anyway.” Ava teased as she hummed in interest. “Well, that little bastard gave me a new power; Diminish. It’s basically in exact contrast with my Magnify ability.”

“Why do I have a bad feeling now?” I asked out loud. I hope she don’t use that on my mind or something, considering her Magnify power gave me balls the size of watermelons as a dragon, and made me a love potion factory overall.

“Probably because now I can do this!” Ava said with glee as she pat me, and I was suddenly gawking up at her from the palm of her hand as I seemed to be the size of an action figure. “Tits! I love the powers doing high-value Deals gets me! And with Magnify!” I was suddenly back at my normal size, her holding my hand as if we were just shaking hands. “This is great! Solves so many of my current storage issues!”

“It’s Rin all over again.” I sighed at this but could not help but admire her. I so want her in my hoard, but she already put down that isn’t happening on a permanent basis, But one can still dream.

“Who’s Rin? She sounds fun. I hope to meet her. Now then, tell me about her as I get these poor unfortunate souls stabilized.” Ava said as she immediately moved towards the nearest undead. “Come to Momma Ava dear, We’ll heal thy pains.”

Is it strange I find that both creepy yet hot at the same time? I thought as she went to work, hugging the first bemused stallion and lovingly petting his mane. It didn’t help she always seem to set me off into a rut rampage. Anyway as she helped him, I saw Starlight Glimmer was the nearest and she was a little scared when the stallion started weeping into Ava’s bosom as she gently nuzzled his head with her horn aglow.

“W-what is she doing to him?” Starlight asked in fear as she backed away.

“She helping restore his body and memories, but something tells me you didn’t lose your memories.” I asked looking at her. Looks like I was right, she just looked at the floor and looked upset.

“He made me do these horrible things to them.” She said rubbing her eyes.

“Hush dear, that is all behind thee. Come to us, we shall ease thy suffering.” Ava softly whispered as she had suddenly moved to Starlight, kissing her brow as she embraced the stunned mare, who cringed, and yelped in pain as her body began restoring. “Thou had little choice. Fewer of thine flock would have survived had thou not acquiesced and did as they demanded.”

“It...doesn’t change that it was...wrong!” Starlight managed to grit out in pain as her chestplate fell away, and her breasts began forming. “Ow, ow! They weren’t that big before!”

“Consider this a bit of punishment. The burden upon thine chest a reminder, and also a way to let thee comfort those who seek thee out for consolation.” Ava said as she moved the mare’s face between her own breasts, and Starlight froze before relaxing. “Tis a wonder, how great a calming effect it is to cradle someone in thine bosom.”

Damnit, they're all so lucky. I thought as I sat there and watch. But I can’t help but feel like I’ve forgotten something? Something off in the corner of my mind.

“Dost thou feel better?” Ava asked Starlight as she released her from the hug, the now F-cup boasting mare hiding herself with her former chestplate.

“Yes thank you. I’ll just see if Twilight has any clothes I could wear now.” Said Starlight as she quickly made her way out.

“Say Ava, how are your kids back home?” I asked wondering how her blight kids were doing.

“Well, I had to put them in my Pandoran Preserve containment unit 4 so they can’t spread Blight, but I left them and their mother in a very good place that was safe and very open to movement, so I’d suppose they’re fine for now.” Ava said as she gestured for a curious undead to come to her, and the stallion complied.

“I could try and turn them into Dragonlings if you want. I’d also like to see your little friend again.” I could not help but purr at the feeling I was having right now. I may not have a full recollection of what happened, but I do know one thing. We all enjoyed it. Hell even my tail was wagging, I want to get Chrysalis pregnant again for some reason?

“Apologies for mine influence.” Ava suddenly said as she was hugging the stallion, who like the first was whimpering as his body and mind restored. “We art naturally radiating our Aspect at the moment from using it to restore these beings. We are unable to avoid causing thoughts of perversion or procreation occurring at this time.”

“It fine I kind of like it.” I replied as I looked over Ava body, I could not help but feel relaxed right now. Even with all these thoughts running around in my head.

“Not now, or even perhaps today stud. We art performing our duty. Have patience.” Ava chided as she released the happily crying stallion who ran off to retrieve others while another undead mare curiously approached.

“I understand. No need to worry I have gotten better at controlling myself.” I said as the mare went up to Ava.

“But not with our presence. We remember what happened last time. Thou turned us into a brainless cumslut. We would Diminish thine potency, but we art afraid thine current state cannot be reversed, only further exacerbated.” Ava stated as the mare screamed in pain as a missing section of wing the former pegasus had lost sprouted new bones and tendons.

“And that would be bad for both of us.” I then thought about other things.

“Not truly. If we were to Magnify thee to thine max potential, thou would be a true dragon lord, on par with thine enemies and a god of this world.” I slowly looked at her and thought about that. Would I really want to be something like a god? A true dragon lord… I could not help but lick my lips at the idea. To be a true dragon like that...

“Hm...would I get any more insatiable?” I asked her, getting a shrug as she let the panting and weak-looking mare go, who stumbled away as the two stallions she’d already restored led several more undead towards her.

“No, thou art already as virile as thou can become without purposely having thine body mutilated towards such a debased role. We would simply allow thee to achieve thine maximum physical and magical prowess.” Ava took two ponies into her embrace, and began working on them both. “How many more of these poor souls are there?”

“Don’t know, it depends how many Poison Dagger made, should be no more than a town full.” I replied, maybe I’ll hold off on the godly powers for now. No need to rush something like that. Besides, I still want to kill Lord Toruk. But in order to do that I need more Heart Stones. “No idea if he made more, I’ll have to start looking for them myself.”

“Well, be sure to keep us posted when thou happens upon any more, or thou makes any more thyself.” Ava released the two thankful ponies who quickly ushered two more into her arms.

“I will, maybe you can join me and Sonay next time we’re in a rut.” I asked smiling at her.

“Perhaps. We art reining in our rampant libido, so no promises. We art a goddess of Fertility, not a debased and careless monster such as Slaanesh.” Ava said, invoking that particular elder goddess of debauchery got a scary haughty laugh to echo through existence.

“Hmmm, Let not bring elder chaos gods into this. Last thing I need to worry about is them running around.” I replied with my eye looking over her curves.

“Too late~.” I shuddered, the haughty and seductive feminine Supernal making my mind hurt. “Invoke any of us and we hear, hm, hmm.”

“Oh, leave them be Slaan, let the new girl be.” Came a hoarse, wet rasp of a barely human voice.

“Hastur, leave my business to myself.” Slaanesh warned.

“Begone from my mind or I’ll devour you!” A voice roared from inside my head. Wow, haven’t felt that in a long time.

“How adorable! The pathetic little lizard threatens us with nibbling our toes!” Slaanesh exclaimed in a nearly orgasmic tone. “I’ll have so much fun dragging you to my bed.”

“Slaan.” The bloody voice of Hastur himself threatened with a note of finality.

“Oh poo on you Hastur, fine. Beware lizard, I haven’t had one of yours between my thighs in millennia and I still remember how good you are with your tongues, expect me in your future, however distant.” Slaanesh warned before the weight on me from her even implied presence vanished.

“Apologies, go about your lives.” Hastur stated before his even weightier presence vanished as well.

“That… Was weirder than normal…” I say out loud then shuddered. “Note to self, don’t talk or think about them any more.”

“We’re afraid that’s impossible if thou seeketh to maintain relations with us. For we fear they art our new siblings of a sort, beings we art replacing their brother in their echelon of interdimensional beings.” Ava informed as she finished with the last of the undead, who were all now crowding around and kneeling to her in prayer, getting a proud huff of approval from her.

“Fuck them, I have lord Toruk to deal with. I don’t need to worry about them to.” I replied rubbing my head then, I had a thought. “What about the gods of the iron kingdoms? Are they here to?”

“Most likely. Gods are not so easily erased. Even if they cannot physically manifest, they are likely real in some form, Dox proved that to us.” Ava continued to speak in her refined tone. “That is enough worship My Little Ponies, go about your lives and only think fondly of us in exchange.”

“Oh boy, Well at least Dhunia should be cool.” I said as I watch the ponies leave, and then I purr at Ava as she walked up to me.

“What? Are we that irresistible stud? Hmph, we should make thee lick our hoofboots for your impertinence.” Ava grinned as she pulled her hood back and let her beautiful crystalline red mane free in the sun and wind.

“I’m just following my instincts. I can’t help it.” I grinned back, as my tail moved from side to side. Her scent filled my nose and it was so sweet.

“Well, we were serious before-ahem...sorry. I, was serious before when I said I wasn’t in the mood. I’ve been through a lot lately and sex isn’t really on my mind for once.” Ava apologized as she fanned herself from the hot sun. “Good gog it’s hot, what season is it?” Ava asked as she started panting, pulling her silk shirt up out of her corset to expose her shiny smooth black breasts to the air, bunching her shirt up as she tried to cool off.

“I think the start of Summer. I understand, my offer to help your kids still stands. Besides I want to get out and about, haven’t been summoned in a while.” I replied as I rubbed my head and get control over myself. But it was a little hard with her like this.

“W-WHAT?! When was this world’s heat cycle?!” Ava suddenly demanded in a panic.

“Four months ago?” I replied simply. Then I could not hide the smile on my face at the look of horrified arousal she was giving me.

“You crass bastard! The estrous period is during the longest days of the year coming out of winter, and I’ve been-*pant*-in a frozen tundra for-oh gog-days! I just went from Winter to Spring! No, no, no!” Ava panicked as she quickly moved away from me.

“Ava calm down let just open a portal and send you home. That will help right?” I asked as I get ready to send her back. As soon as I pulled out the token, I saw the way she was looking at me. “Ava?”

“Strip. Now.” Ava growled viciously, her teeth turning into shark teeth as her eyes began to slit, scales overtaking her gem skin.

“Our-Contract-is-complete!” I yelled just as she grabbed me… But I was pulled into the portal with her… Fuck me… This may end badly for me. Next thing I know I’m on some kind of beach with Ava on top of me as her gem-like scales set in and the kirin crystal mare seemed ready to rape me, but suddenly she stopped and panted in a mix of relief as sanity started returning to her eyes.

“You okay now Ava? We good?” I asked with my hands on her sides, sliding up and down her sexy muscular but shapely hips and ass as well. Oh god I may end up going into a rut if she doesn't get off me soon.

“Oh yes, totally. Thank gog. My token sent us back to my main base of operations, which recently has had a suppression field installed. You just avoided siring another ten or so kids.” Ava grinned sheepishly from her straddled position on my pelvis.

“That good I guess, umm mind getting off. You’re kind of hitting all the right buttons in the wrong places.” But to be far I kind of liked her on top of me. I guess it something about women in power I just like.

“Too bad, you already got my hackles on a rise. Get up, we’re doing this in my suite.” Ava demanded as she got off me and easily yanked me to my feet with surprising strength, dragging me by the hand towards a HOLY SHIT THAT’S A BIG BUILDING! How in the hell did she make something like that?! “Welcome to the headquarters of Hyperion’s Multidimensional Branch #1. Still in construction too.”

“Okay, it big…” I replied, wait Hyperion? “Do you work for Jack or something?”

“Oh, right, never bothered to mention it. I’m the CEO of the first major out-of-universe branch of Hyperion. All this? It’s mine. Jack owns the company, I run everything in this universe essentially in terms of the company, but-mmph!”

I then kissed her, I felt hot and I wanted to taste her sweet lips right now. “Let hurry inside I’m having trouble controlling myself.” I asked panting a little.

“Oh fuck yes!” Ava growled as she dragged me into the building, only pausing at the buxom Hyperion-logoed pant suited zebra mare at the front desk. “Back for a moment, got a guest, still not here officially.”

“Of course Avarice.” The mare said in a husky natural voice before Ava continued to drag me off before I could invite the striped mare. “Lady Ichor is still in your suite milady!” The zebra called after us.

“Oh, perfect! Um, unless my little baby girl is here….” Ava worriedly muttered. “If she’s here, we’ll have to wait for Sonata to pick her up before we do anything naughty, I’m not corrupting my daughter just yet.” Ava said as we got into an elevator that closed as she pressed a button for the current top floor.

“I understand.” I purred at her as I fondled Ava sexy ass, which while still very squeezable, was tight and muscular under the layer of fat, which was even better. The moans she let out were just driving me crazy. I then found my hands going to over part of her body as we started kissing. Luckily we stop before the doors opened. “Okay, I’m controlling myself now.”

“Fuck that! We’re fucking right he-!” A long, muscled, and dark black-red scaled arm got between us from the doors, and we both looked up at the 14-foot tall Queen Dragonling Ichor who grinned ferally down at us, her body garbed in a rather fancy silk robe as her slit red eyes glimmered.

“I knew I tasted incredible lust. What a treat you brought home dear~.” Ichor purred at us, licking her long fangs with relish. “I’ve been overdue for a meal, and a new batch of little ones.” She grabbed us both, and yanked us out of the elevator.

“Well this will be interesting.” I said with a smile on my face, I should be worried but right now. I was just going with it.

“Yeah, it is. But Ichor, did you mean new kids from me, or him?” Ava asked in confusion as the huge mare carried us under her arms and into an enormous suite with furniture designed for people of Ichor’s size, meaning 14 feet and up was the standard in here.

“From my Dragon Lord, of course. I’ve figured something out about our offspring. I just need a baseline from him to get the right mix of Blight and Plaga mutagen to do it. Now both of you, get naked, I’m going to be enjoying this.” Ichor growled as she threw us both bodily onto the gigantic bed.

I did as was asked, I guess you could say. After all I was just as horny as Ava right now. “Should I change forms?” I asked looking between them.

“Yes.” They both said at the same time as Ava was suddenly nude, and grew in size to equal Ichor, her tail changing into the same mix of dragon and Verdugo as Ichor’s, long, sinuous, bladed at the end. “You’re going to be fucking us both at the same time, like before, in the basement~....”

That really got me worked up as I changed into my 16 foot dragon form and purred at them. “I can’t wait~” I purred at them as I kissed each of them, running my claws over their fit, voluptuous bodies, getting growls of approval from the draconid mares as they each grabbed one of my dicks and started pumping. “I’m going to seed you both.”

“Mmph, don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m sterile right now, but I’ve boosted her.” Ava grinned at me before moaning as I took a huge nipple from her left breast into my mouth, sucking, and surprisingly I got milk. “Oh~ gog! I knew I was naturally lactating but fuck~!”

“Already got a taste of motherhood dear?” Ichor teased as she fondled her chest with her free hand, squirting milk onto me. I then started drinking from both of them back and forth.

“Mmm~...yes...I left Sharp with the eggs, but my body still knows I’m pregnant even if not directly.” Ava panted as she curled her tail behind me, Ichor doing the same, coiling our three tails together, causing our bodies to ramp up even more from instinct knowing how intimate the action was.

“I want you both now~” I purred at them as I pulled them closer together. My claws on their hips and my two dicks ready to enter them. They both quickly shoved me down our tails coming undone as they both positioned over my pelvis, facing each other and squeezing their basketball boobs together as they aimed my hemipenes at their vaginas, and without hesitation, impaled themselves on me, getting a surprised roar of pleasure from me.

“Oh fuck yes!” They both screamed at the same time, Ava on my lower dick and Ichor on my upper one, they bounced in sync as they made out with each other as they fucked me, I didn’t even have to do anything, panting and kneading Ichor’s huge and deliciously round but firm ass, running my hands up and down her tail as I licked the underside of her bladed spade.

“Asphy! I lied!” Ava shouted, and I roared as I felt my dicks get bigger! “I was just postulating, but you’ve got a bit more growing to do!”

“Not again~!” I groaned out in rapture as my scales darkened from blue to primarily black with lighter blue highlights along my front, I growled as I felt myself get even bigger overall, my hands now more easily grabbing more of Ichor’s fine ass. “Yes! Please your Lord!”

“Gladly~!” Ichor screamed out in rapture as she suddenly came, Ava shortly after, and I roared as my huge pumpkin-sized testicals tightened, erupting into them.

Hours later….

I was so hungry after our sabbatical, I was eating through a ten course meal. And I wasn’t stopping any time soon. “Ava, why did you do that and also. Can I have 11ths?” I asked as I eat into a turkey.

“Sorry Asphy. But I’ve got a size fetish and, well...you just had so much potential….” Ava meekly said to me now that I was an 18-foot-tall anthro dragon with 18 inch dicks and pumpkin sized balls, I was just glad my new overall size made those seem normal-ish at my scale, especially since my hemipenes somehow retracted into my torso, where all that flesh went confounded me.

“You know you should asked before doing stuff like that to someone.” I replied, then felt something. My blight was moving inside me, I felt I had more control and decided to test it out on myself. I then grow and ungrow spines on my left arm. Interesting... “On the other hand this may not be a bad thing.” And it was then...I realized...I wasn’t endlessly horny. Sure, I felt I could go forever, but I wasn’t outright being driven into a rut being in this form, which was rare. “So what did you do to reduce my libido?”

“Nothing, your Blight’s managing all that rampant energy now. You can still be as randy as all get-out, but it’s more on your terms now.” Ava informed from her seat at the head of the table, which she had vehemently refused to even consider letting me have, which, I’ll admit, just made her hotter.

Oh, and we were all still naked and fresh from our fucking, food demanded showers wait.

“Yes, and now that I have your seed, I can produce a batch of pure Dragonlings that I can use to help understand my wasp children, and help mutate into more stable forms.” Ichor said as she rubbed her inflated dome of a belly that made her look pregnant with triplets. Ava just ‘ate’ it and added it to her available mass stores, Ichor decided to keep it in to ensure she’d get as many eggs out of it as possible.

“I wish to see them.” I asked, I could feel their blight from here. And I have a feeling they can feel me. I then stuff as much food in my mouth before getting up. But first I needed a shower. “Care to join me in the shower?”

“Pfft, shower? Pansy.” Ava grinned beatifically as she got up, trotting past and running her tail along my thighs as she passed by, but I wasn’t instantly sent into a rut like usual, huh, having some self control is cool. “We could, but it’d be cramped. Why not soak in the spa instead?”

“Spa? Haven’t tried that before… Sure.” I replied and followed after her. “You coming to Ichor?”

“Only if my beloved summons the colts.” Ichor grinned mischievously as she hefted herself up and followed with a waddle. If I had eyebrows right now I would had raised them, so I just tilt my head to one side.

“Of course I’ll summon the cabana colts~! And the pool mares~!” Ava lilted as she pressed some keys on a panel along the hallway wall towards large double doors at the end.

Something tell me I’m lucky to get back control of myself now. Or things would have gotten crazy, or I’m just going to kick back and relax. I got my answer as soon as the doors opened, and a huge indoor spa greeted us with several very muscular zebra stallions averaging 8 feet and built like bodybuilders and incredibly fit and shapely zebra mares all about six feet and with large assets were waiting in nothing but leaf-bikinis and thongs. “Welcome our Lord Avarice, we will provide relief.” They all said as they bowed slightly.

“Umm, hi.” I replied even if they were not talking about me. I still felt I should be polite to them, also the mares remind me of Zecora. Only less wild and ready to jump me when my back turned.

“We’d like a full spa treatment, massages and everything, some oils for our scales, and...hm. Ichor, Asphy, interested in permanently dying your scales different colors?” Ava asked conversationally, as if changing skin tone was as simple as rubbing a paste on.

“Not really, if I want to change the colors I can.” I replied holding out a wing as the blue membrane changed from blue to green, red, yellow then back to blue. Huh couldn’t do that before.

“Hm...would it be possible to only change a certain area?” Ichor asked, getting nods from the mares of the group of zebra spa tenders. “Then could you make my nipples gold? To better contrast with my black-red scales, I don’t care to have black nipples that just blend with my breasts.”

“Certainly Lady Ichor, right this way for the tonal change treatment.” A mare said, leading Ichor away as Ava moved to one of the gigantic massaging beds.

“Be firm, but gentle with me. Be harsh on Asphy, his new constitution won’t benefit otherwise.” What? I thought confused. What she talking about?

“Of course milady. I shall fetch the hammers.” One of the beefy stallions stated as he moved to a cabinet, taking out a smooth and elongated hammer that looked...oddly nice in a shiny sort of ‘don’t want to use because it’ll get ruined’ kind of way.

“So do I lay down or?” I asked looking around. I have never be to a place like this before, hell I’ve never been to a spa before like, ever. Luckily for me one of them show me to a bed to lay on my front. "So is this going to?-”

I was interrupted as the first hammer struck my back, and god did it felt good. I had no idea what they was doing with those hammers but my wings just lay limp off the bed as I relaxed. “Yes, let the tension out, we’ll hammer into the scales to reach the muscles, then use the hammers to rub the stress out.” The stallion said professionally as he began gently but firmly tapping along the base of my wings, then grinding the hammer in and around the area, getting a groan of relief out of me, I had no idea I was so tense!

Hours later….

“So this is the place?” I asked, dressed in a full-sized silken white robe that almost touched the grassy ground as we walked across the last stretch to an utterly gigantic glass-like dome, that was just one in a line of many along the north shore of the island Ava’s base was on. Of course, my question was redundant, I could feel the Blight here teeming inside.

“Yes, our children are currently held here in quarantine.” Ichor said, having released my love potion from her womb since she was certainly impregnated by the time the mares massaging her demanded they let her abdomen relax. She was now wearing the regal black queenly robe I first saw her in.

“I’d like to go inside.” I asked slowly walking up to the dom. I could not tell if the ones inside were afraid of me or not. Either way I was here to help them. Hopefully they remembered me, it would make it easier.

“No, of course not, we just walked across the whole island to get here, we’re not going inside, oh no~.” Ava sarcastically joked. The mare was wearing a tight-fitting pair of jeans with tribal designs where her marks would’ve been had she been a normal mare, and was wearing a ring clasped bikini top that made her basketball boobs seem even bigger with how they hid only her nipples in spite of the size of the triangles.

“Cute.” I replied as I walk in through the door, finding a security checkpoint with another buxom zebra mare manning it. “Hey sexy, I’m here to see about helping the kids.” I idly flirted, but was shocked to not even get a reaction until she looked blankly up at me with dead eyes, it wasn’t until now I noticed above her left brow, fur patterned to say C-73.

That was both strange and made me worried. Also when do I flirt so freely? Welp, so much for better self control. “Hello. I am C-73. How might I be of service today?” The mare asked in a neutral, emotionless, but still not robotic tone.

“Hey C-73! I’m here to visit the kids, let us through?” Ava asked, and the mare typed away at her terminal, before the automated defenses I just noticed retracted back into the ceiling. We had guns on us the whole time?

Oh right my echo, I took it off and handed it over. The almost fake mare quickly held her own Echo over it, and after a beep, she then put her own Echo back on, and waved us in. “What was with that mare?” I asked Ava as we passed the security checkpoint and had even more ceiling turrets on us and two bulky Loader bots painted all red with flamethrowers aimed at us cautiously. It was like some kind of airlock from some sci fi show. Can’t put my claw on what one though.

“That was C-73, first soulless mass-produced clone of my branch of the Doppleganger Project.” Ava growled hatefully with incredible spite at the name of the program. “Living things should have their own lives damn it.”

“So do we just put a password in or...?” I asked looking at the large doors. First time I’ve heard of a displaced cloning zebra. But it sounds like Ava didn’t like the idea to me.

“Depressurizing decontamination chamber.” C-73’s voice rang out as lights flashed and alarms blared, all turrets and the two HOT Loaders aiming at the airlock as it hissed and opened up, Ava and Ichor briskly strode in, so I followed and soon the doors started sealing behind us in the small-ish chamber. “Pressurizing decontamination chamber, cycling for Preserve Four’s atmosphere.”

As this was going on I wondered if I could go into my other forms or not. I’ll find out later. As soon as the doors opened I just walked outside onto the flat expansive plain of grass slowly and calmly. Looking around I could tell they were close but seem to be hiding from me.

“Children! Come up! This is no way to treat your Lord!” Ichor bellowed out imperiously, getting me to blink at her, and she blushed. “Sorry, that was...sorry.”

“It fine, it happens.” I replied, not really sure how to respond to that, really I’m too used to everyone calling me by my title of Lich lord to worry. However, soon, the ground rumbled, and hundreds of Blight Wasps burst out of the ground from hidden grassy hatches, hissing, snarling, and gathering around us to kneel somewhat to us.

“Sorry mother!”

“Huh, that new? So then little guys. Want to have your forms changed to something a little more, sociable?” I asked looking at them all. I then heard a portal open up as Sonay walks out with Revan… Crap. “Okay, no need to panic.”

“BLIGHTLESS! INFECT! INFECT!” The wasps screeched, about to bull-rush Revan.

“DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!” I roared at them. As they all froze in place. Wow, I think I’m even louder then luna now.

“I take it this is a bad time?” Asked Sonay looking around.

“Sis-in-law, you kinda just walked into a living minefield with my babies wanting to sting you into becoming more of my babies.” Ava deadpanned at the robo dragoness. “Well, that little girl with you anyway.”

“Sister in law…? What the fuck?” Revan tilted her head. “You know what? I don’t care. I’ll kill them if they try again.”

“Say that again and I’ll devour your soul.” Ava lowly rumbled, a draconic/tiger growl echoing out from her.

“Revan, Sonay just please stay near Ava and try not to kill anything. I’m working.” I replied as I draw on my Blight, oddly enough I could see it energy’s flowing from my arms. ‘So this is dragonblight.’ I thought as I started the slow and careful work of changing their forms. They screeched in agony as their chitinous shells split, segmented, and shifted about as they slowly took forms more akin to changelings, but still clearly had quadrupedal bodies, and long segmented tails with bladed tips.

“I’m going to go to work.” Revan grumbled as she started messing with her watch. “I’m bored already.”

“Just remember, you need me or my little sister to send you back.” Said Sonay as she watches what happening. “Oh and this is Ava my sister’s wife, or was it husband?”

“Neither actually, but there’s no way I’m not marrying Sonata. As for gender specific title? Uh...well...not sure anymore. I figured out how to switch genders with ease, but I prefer being a babe than a dude. Eh, wife is fine.” Ava shrugged. “At least until I add another soul to my Shared Soul and we change personality again. Also, hey bitch, good on ya, little one’s healthy from what I can tell.” Ava gave a thumbs up to Revan. “Too soon to know the gender, but they’ll be nice and safe.”

“Yeah, yeah. Damn womb thought I wanted one.” Revan grumbled.

“Don’t think like that. I just blessed you for safe carry and easy birth, it’ll be practically painless.” Ava beamed at the irritated Sith. “Just be glad it’s just one, with how virile Asphy is, he could’ve easily given you multiples. Also, a draconid Sith? Whew, you’re gonna have a really strong kid there.”

“Umm little help please? They’re hugging me.” I called out, once I was done I boosted the free will of each of them and they wanted to thank me. Only they’re all over me and I can’t move now without squashing any of them.

“Alright you little hellions off the dragon lord and back to your hive!” Ava shouted at her children, who quickly complied and cheerfully chatted each other up as they retreated to their underground burrows. “Thanks Asphy.”

“Well, that reminded me of the time we tried to hold a birthday party for the dragonlings. Only they swarmed me when I brought in the cake.” I smiled at that, good times.

“Well that’s all well and good, and with this next batch of Blighted Plagalings on the way, I’ll be able to better predict outcomes from other joinings.” Ichor said as she patted her flat abdomen. “I will remain here with my hive for a bit, see how the full-sized burrow for myself is going.” Ichor strode out into the field, and quite impressively seemed to step down into the grass as if she hit an invisible stairwell.

“Wow, no wonder no one finds their hive’s.” I said out loud. “So we ready to go home or do you want to try out the spa here?”

“What do I look like, some prissy fashion pony? I’m a conqueror, I-.”

“Need to relax.” I finished as I picked Revan up and walked to the door. With Sonay not far behind. Heading back to the spa.

“I hate you…” Revan snarled. She’ll change her tone once she meet the zebras.

Hours later….

“I still hate you….” Revan breathed out lowly as she was completely relaxed in a white silk robe on a gigantic plush couch designed for people 14 feet tall.

“I can live with that.” I replied drinking some kind of fruit drink. It was good, a nice zebra mare gave it to me before walking off.

“What did they do with my mask and lightsabers?” Revan asked, a bit anxious.

“Don’t worry I have them right here.” I replied holding up a box to her.

“I had Homage give your mask a built-in Echo device, so you’ll have a comprehensive HUD and subspace storage, and he improved your saber’s plasma cycling efficiency. It’s mostly just to keep the blade more cohesive so it’ll likely even overpower other, lesser sabers.” Ava informed from next to Revan on the couch, opening the box so she could get her stuff, including her clothes in the box were freshly washed. “And before you pull the insecure tsundere shit I know you’re gonna do, shut up and accept it, don’t even say thank you.”

Revan took her lightsabers and mask. “The red one already did that. It could overload.”

“Not as well as now, it’s practically in a near-overload state constantly from what Homage sent me on the specs, so you don’t have to overload it as much in those situations.” The 14-foot crystal kirin mare informed as she vegged in her seat.

“Whatever.” Revan placed the mask over her face. She then took her watch and seemed to tense.

“Also, total waste of beauty, hiding behind that mask.” Ava teased. “A lot of people like women with experience in life that have overcome things. As for your watch, didn’t do anything to it besides sync it to your mask so there’s less conflict.”

“... I’m so screwed…” Revan whispered to herself.

“Maybe, probably not. Here’s a secret about my universe. Time Dilation is nonexistent.” Ava grinned down at the worried woman. “That message could be from the past, or the future, or you already took care of it if you left with the intent to be where, and when, you need to be.” Ava chuckled darkly as she gestured out at nothing in particular. “You could even time travel using my universe’s mechanics. Homage is abusing the absolute fuck out of it, just be careful that you don’t do something stupid like appear to yourself before using it. I’ve already got the headache of having been summoned to the future while STILL here! It’s madness!”

“So wait...I could just stay here, forever, and whenever I leave, I’ll just be there?” Revan asked disbelievingly.

“Yup! So that’s why this place is such a great getaway resort! You don’t have to worry about ANYTHING back home! Just be mindful of interactions with any other Displaced here, you don’t want any time shenanigans interfering with the continuity of your universes, so we’ll try to keep you generally away from one another, unless you’ve already painstakingly planned for it.” Ava informed seriously.

“I am so telling everyone about this place.” I said with a smile, maybe I could bring the hoard here some time. “Maybe…”

“Just as a head’s-up! Dox is already here. Or specifically, the one on vacation for an extended period that summoned me to the future to fight an enemy that harassed him on his vacation. So, keep a distance from the southern shoreline for now, we don’t want any time paradoxes here. My universe is stable, not sure about any of yours.” Ava warned with incredible seriousness.

“Okay, note to self do not mess with anyone while here.” I said to myself as I go back to drinking my drink. I then started choking on it as my throat constricted. What the hell?!

“That’s for forcing me here.” Revan said, letting go of her force choke.

“Oh! Do it to his junk! I want to see if you can force-choke his-!”

“NO!” I yell. Last thing I want is to give Revan ideas, on the other hand… No, just no bad idea.

“Oh, actually, Revan, are there really secret Sith techniques in the bedroom? I’m not sure if that was canon or not, or if it was a joke my Earth’s version of Star Wars made.” Ava asked curiously.

“Yes there are. In fact, I’ve used them before I met Asphyxious. There are even Jedi methods I know since I’m part Jedi.” Revan said calmly and without care. My god they're becoming friends… I’m DOOMED! Okay do not panic, there is no need to panic.

“Wow, well darn. Shame I can never use them, unless midichlorians can carry over via pure genetics.” Ava mused with intrigue. “Because if they do, I’d just need a sample of your DNA and then boom; Force powers, but I’d still need training to do anything with it.”

Revan’s eyes narrowed. “Although I hate them, you can. But it helps if it’s natural. If you want you can take a blood sample. I’ve always wanted an apprentice in either the light or dark side.”

“Oh I don’t need anything as invasive as blood, just some hair, a little dandruff, saliva… semen….” Ava suggested with smokey eyes. “Besides, it wouldn’t be me, personally learning from you, it’d be the part of me who is actually level-headed enough to do it.”

Revan stuttered. “Wh-whatever.” Revan flushed under her mask at being so boldly approached.

“Wonderful! I’d like for you both to formally meet Crescent Luminescence.” Ava declared, before instantly changing demeanor from cheery to calmly attentive, her eyes changing from green to gold, and her hair to go purple. “Hey. How are you both?”

“Meh.” Revan shrugged.

“Umm, cool. I think?” I was not sure what just happened.

“It’s some form of personality shift.” Revan said. “Uh…”

Crescent smirked coyly as she shrank rapidly down to Revan’s size, her clothes shrinking with her as she became a rather lithe but still quite built stallion of the thestral persuasion, only a head taller than her and twirling the now useless bikini top by the ring. “Not exactly.” He tossed the top away and the jeans were practically skin-tight on him, revealing how skinny and muscular he was. “I am the first Soul of Avarice; Crescent Luminescence, the Soul of Indifference.” His Alucard-like voice made Revan shiver unnoticeably.

“Second Soul!” Ava’s voice suddenly came from his mouth, as his eyes flashed green, getting him to roll his eyes.

“What she said. I was the first soul Avarice brought into themselves, originally out of spite, anger, and desperation. I was once a member of a shadow organization that deals in lives and power. I believe I’d be suited to your teachings.” Crescent flexed his powerful wings, easily larger than would be expected. “This form you see is me, entirely. Originally as I was before being consumed, body and soul by the Greedy Avarice.”

“I may be Greedy, but I’m not evil~.” Ava lilted from his mouth.

Revan stood up and grabbed the box. “I’ll be back with some hair and spit.” She then walked off.

“What? Not up for some cunnilingus?” Crescent teased after her, getting a Force punch to the nuts that he merely grunted from. “Oh~ feisty. I see why you like her Asphyxious.”

“Ya, also this is kind of strange for me.” I replied looking at him? I had no idea Ava had more than one soul living inside of them, I mean, I figured when she told me about it, that it was figurative. “Could you change back or do you need to stay like this tell you get what you need?”

“Why be so limited?” Crescent and Ava asked together, and Ava seemed to melt out of Crescent in the nude, standing side-by-side. “We’re a Shared Soul, we don’t need to have a Shared Body, it just makes it easier to focus on one task. With this, all three of us are now in our separate bodies, but our Souls are still inexorably linked.”

“Huh, interesting. It like what happens to an Overseer, only your souls are not forced together.” I wonder if I can find out how this was done. But I was not willing to try and find out, I didn’t want to hurt Ava, them anyway.

Revan returned fully dressed in her robes. “... I don’t even want to know.” She passed the samples to the duo.

“Shame, we were about to explain the process to Asphy, but oh well. You get it Crescent, I’m gonna find some pants.” Ava said as she quickly put the bikini Crescent had tossed back on, stuffing her nipples into the triangle cups as Revan shamelessly stared from behind her mask at the K-cup basketballs as the wrestled with the top and seemed to summon various skirts and pants from out of the air that she was considering.

“A-anyway, you do your thing and I’ll get my stuff ready for a simple lesson.” Revan said. “I’ll even show you something I was told by my master regarding lightsaber color meanings.”

“Sure.” Crescent took the small cup of spit and hair, and licked it up. “Hm, tangy. You eat a lot of healthy foods don’t you?”

“... Yeah, I avoid eating the junk. There’s no point to it.” Revan said.

Crescent suddenly dropped the cup, getting Revan and I to jump slightly, and Ava was frozen just as he was, both staring off into space.

“You guys okay?” I asked wondering what just happened?

“...The Force is bullshit, that’s what...I just felt like I was yanked from my body for a second.” Crescent hissed as he shook himself, and slapped Ava in the face. “Ava, go check on Sharp, make sure she’s not catatonic.”

“Right.” Ava slipped on a short orange skirt and her Merchant outfit appeared autonomously and from nowhere, holding open the coat which she promptly dashed into, vanishing, and the autonomous garb followed.

“Did he call the Force… Bullshit…?” Revan snarled animalistically.

“I think something bad just happened. What going on Crescent?” I asked, to be fair I had no idea what was going on.

“Revan, you could’ve warned us how potent you were. We just about lost our awareness out among...everything. It just slammed into us like an ocean tidal wave.” Crescent shuddered. “I’ve been exposed to a lot, but never have we just lost all sensation before. No wonder Jedi have so much trouble expressing themselves and Sith have difficulty reining in their passion.”

“So, is this like. Thinking it a lightbulb but really it’s a Sun?” I asked.

“That’s like comparing a match to the Green Fucking Sun, which encompasses the size of several universes and is the source of power of all First Guardians across the multiverse.” Crescent grumbled as he took a cleansing breath.

“So it big…” Okay, I’m so not going find out how Revan powers work now.

“I suppose I’m just used to it.” Revan said. “I did have a long ten years training myself.”

“Well, we’ll have as long as we both need. I could even go with you if you wish, I’d arrive back whenever I and Ava intend.” Crescent offered, but Revan shook her head.

“Shouldn’t be too long. I took a long time because I was alone without guidance and only my Star Wars knowledge.”

“Well, I’m going to find Sonay and head back. Want to stay here and help train them or come with?” I asked Revan.

“I don’t know…” Revan said. “You know what? I’ll stay to get his training started, then I’ll head back.”

“Okay just give Sonay a call and she’ll bring you back. Make me wonder what else she can do?” I then went off to find Sonay, and see she was sunbathing. That is so like her. After I let Sonay enjoy herself I say my goodbyes to Revan and Crescent then head off home. Next thing I know I’m tackled by Pinkie Pie and Gwen, which was weird, beings I was still my full 18 foot dragon size, so they just hugged my legs, faces at my thighs.

“What was that for? Also you shouldn’t be doing that when you’re pregnant Gwen.” I groaned as I looked at them. I better turn into my human form, as soon as I changed back I felt different. Like something new was added. I then looked at Gwen then Pinkie Pie and saw I was still taller then them. Oh… “I’m taller now?”

“I like it.” Said Pinkie giving me bedroom eyes. Oh crap. I thought as she nuzzled me, I looked at Gwen and saw she had the same look. Well looks like I’m not getting any sleep right now.

A portal suddenly opened, and Revan stepped out. “So how long was it?”

“Uh… I just...got back.” I informed, getting Revan to nod in comprehension.

“Amazing, so what they said was true. I was there for a few hours after you left, helping them comprehend the Force so they don’t endanger themselves and others.” Revan informed me.

“Ava pestered you about the bedroom techniques the whole time, didn’t she?” I asked knowingly, and Revan remained completely passive. “Knew it.”

“I never imagined there was a being that shameless besides you.” Revan muttered in annoyance.

“She was the one who gave me the blue balls in the first place.” I said then felt Pinkie pull herself closer. “Hold on, Pinkie, uh, Revan… did Ava… touch you?” I asked in concern.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Revan asked.

“Revan, I forgot to mention; but Avarice has two abilities; Magnify, and Diminish. She used Magnify on me, and look at what came of it.” I stated, pointing out my new height compared to them all. “She only had to pat me to shrink me to the size of a toy with Diminish, so all she’d need is an instant of contact and she could have done any number of things to you, like made you stronger, faster, or even slower, dumber, I’m just concerned, Avarice is a flighty person and passes out gifts without a second thought.”

“Well… Yeah. My leg is better. And my scars are gone.” Revan said. “For a moment there I thought you were worried she touched me in a perverted way.”

“No I know you’d kick her ass for that, I’m just happy she didn’t do something crazy like magnify your sex drive or something.” I replied in relief.

“She could’ve made me forget… Damn, now I’m worried.” Revan said.

“Knowing her she wouldn’t do anything like that. Anyway let’s get these two to bed.” I said as Pinkie and Gwen were cuddling me. “Like to join us Revan?”

“You know, I got aroused by Ava very easily…” Revan said in a sultry voice. “I didn’t like feeling helpless…” Revan then walked away. “But I’m too tired. Plus, after last night, I need some away from you time.”

“Okay just let me know if you need anything.” I replied as I walked off with Gwen and Pinkie. I was looking forward to a long sleep.
