Clem and I sat at the pilot and copilot seats of the transport ship while I piloted the ship away from the Galleon currently on a collision course to the sun. As much as I would have liked to have kept it around for the sake of having a fighting force within the atmosphere, but the ship was contaminated with rapidly expanding infested spores and there were still too many survivors held up in pockets with personal life support aboard the ship. But the infested I had released had enough time to release spores the spores building up within their sealed containers that spread into the ventilation, it would only be a matter of time before it spread through the ships filters and killed anyone not wearing sealed and heavily ventilated helmets. Those that would be killed would turn into mutilated monstrosities of infested flesh. There was no way I would let that get anywhere even remotely close to the planets surface. So, it was easier to just grab the Kavor survivors and load them onto dropships.

“Clem,” I said as I tapped a few buttons on the ship's console in preparation for landing while he turned his head towards me. “There are still a couple of soldiers on the ground here that are expecting Ruk to be landing in this ship. I need you to play along while we inform them that the general has arrived.

He nodded. “Clem!”

I nodded my head in confirmation before getting the holo-screen ready. I cleared my throat, “Sergeant, sergeant,” I said while trying to get my voice close enough to that of a Grineer clones. It took me a second, but I got it after a few more attempts. The screen pulled up in front of my partner while I spoke. I could see the image of the Grineer Ambassador out of the corner of my eye but was more focused on the tiny castle in the distance. “~This is General Ruk’s transport, are we clear for landing?~” I said in Grineer.

“Affirmative. You may land in the courtyard.”

“Copy.”

As I brought the ship in for landing, I glanced down at Ponyville in the distance. The town was no longer alight, but there were several white tents set up on the southern edge of town while dozens of figures mingled about between them. But I couldn’t watch for too long as we circled the castle before coming in on the descent. She went down gently before I turned off the engines and shut off the ship fully before exiting my seat and grabbing my rifle. Clem followed suit, drawing his Grakatas in the process.

The rear ramp descended, and we watched as the Ambassador approached the ramp. He took a knee and bowed his head. “General, welcome back!”

My eyes narrowed as I glared at the clone kneeling before me.

“Go to hell…”

I opened my Parazon, cracking it like a whip. With a single snap of my right wrist the tether shot out and the razor-sharp point impaled the clone right in the gut. With a hard jerk, I dragged his screaming form up the ramp and into my hands. I pulled the weapon from his abdomen, slashing at his throat while Clem raised his rifles. The two clones never had a chance as Clem mag dumped them both, shooting one with each gun. Celestia, Luna, and everyone else stood there wide eyed at the hero before them, guns still smoking.

“Clem!”

They blinked in confusion.

“Nice job Clem,” I praised as I slapped him on the back as I passed him on my way down the ramp. I didn’t say anything more as I pulled the war trophy from my hip and held the helmet in front of me as I approached Celestia and Luna. They stared at its orange, scratched and weathered surface for a long second before I just dropped it, their gaze following it as it impacted against the ground, kicking up a light puff of dust as it landed. “Was there ever any doubt?”

The two sisters slowly lifted their heads, their shocked gazes locking with my own as they slowly shook their heads side to side.

Eventually after getting past her initial shock, Celestia leaned past me and immediately went tense, eyes widening. “Who are they?”

I turned around towards the other two ships and the dozens of other less armored, but still heavily armed clones as they began to gather around the area. They stood on the ground near their ships, some stood on the ramps or in the back of the ships while some climbed onto the top of their ships. “That’s the Kavor,” I explained. “They’re defectors, they won’t do anything, I promise.”

“For all of our sake, I hop-” Celestia flinched and blinked as a black glove suddenly wrapped around her muzzle and started gently petting her. Slow gentile strokes from muzzle to just below her eyes.

“Clem.”

Celestia continued to eye the hand gently rubbing her muzzle before she gave me a worried look. “Wha… what did he just say?”

“He thinks you're pretty.”

“Oh…” Celestia replied as she relaxed slightly before a gentle smile graced her lips. “Thank you. What is your name?” she asked as Luna leaned in a little closer to examine the kind clone.

“Clem!”

“Nice to meet you Clem,” Celestia greeted while also letting Clem continue his ministrations. “I am Princess Celestia, this is my sister Luna.”

“Hello!” the Luna princess greeted with a wave.

“Clem?” he asked as he turned back to face me.

My shoulders slumped slightly at his question. “No Clem, I don’t have an apple. Isn’t that a bit stereotypical in this context? Borderline racist as well?” I asked while holding up a hand.

Clem shrugged his shoulders as he turned to start petting Luna as well, fully standing between the pair. The poor guy is so simple minded, I bet he’ll love it here. Plenty of colorful and shiny stuff to keep his attention. I turned back towards the Kavor and waved my arm at the crowd. “CT? CT where are you?”

I saw the clone’s head perk up from the sea of watchers before he started working his way through the crowd. While I waited, I waved towards the draconian ambassador nearby, who tilted his head and gave me a half knowing, toothy smile. A few seconds later, the clone in question was standing before me.

“Yes?”

“Celestia I-”

I flinched back at the sight of both Celestia and Luna, shamelessly laying on their backs and tongues lolling out of their mouths like happy dogs as Clem scratched away at their exposed bellies. That was some sight, seeing the two greatest rules of this country acting like attention driven puppy dogs. I swear, they were more and more like cats than anything else. While the two were distracted, Twilight approached me and reared back, hugging me tightly while she quietly sobbed into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her back. Our reunion was going to have to wait though while Ember, Drax, and Serenity approached. We shared handshakes and fist bumps.

“Celestia!” I shouted, causing the mare to lazily look towards me with a dopey smile before she realized that she was being watched. Her eyes went wide in horror and embarrassment as a slight tinge of red graced her white cheeks. Her horn ignited a moment later and disappeared in a flash of yellow sparks before reappearing a moment later, standing up and at attention.

She cleared her throat, pretending that we had not just witnessed her embarrassment. “Ahem… yes?”

I turned back towards CT. “Get ready to translate when I tell you too.” He nodded in affirmation while I turned back to Celestia. “Celestia, these are the Kavor. They’re Grineer defectors and are willing to help if you’ll give them the chance?”

The solar mare glanced at the gathered group that had surrounded us in a horseshoe half-circle. Most of them were standing, but a few of them were sitting on the ramps and atop the landing craft as they watched on patiently. She bit her lip nervously as her gaze slowly drifted back towards me. “I don’t know… what if they revolt?”

“They won’t,” I whispered, trying to ease her worries. “They don’t want violence. They just want their freedom.” I turned towards the mare with a more resolute stance. “They don’t want any violence.”

“How do you know that?”” Celestia countered aggressively while fully facing me and with concerned expression. “How do you really know that? Not only did these exact same creatures attack my home they-”

“Because I have been following them for some time!”

I blinked, immediately spinning around as one female clone pushed her way through the crowd and towards us. I could only watch in confusion as the female clone approached me specifically, glaring at me the whole time before she was engulfed in green flames, revealing a jet-black changeling queen. “You nearly left me on that ship to die!”

“Chrysalis?” I questioned in confusion. “What the fuck are you doing looking like a clone!”

“I was trying to save you!” she spat, her glare never faltering. “Thankfully I was able to snake my way into the group here and leave before you decided to shoot that ship into the sun!”

Celestia suddenly burped, a puff of yellow mist escaping her lips. “Oh… ‘scuse me," she pardoned, waving a hoof to dismiss the mist.

Ignoring the princess, I continued to stare down at the glaring changeling mare before me. “You’re an idiot.”

Chrysalis snorted. “Rot in Tartarus. I need a drink...” she cursed before wandering off towards the castle to probably get said drink. We continued to watch her as she entered the building.

I sighed, and just opted to turn back to Celestia. “Let them prove themselves!”

The mare continued to keep her neutral gaze as her eyes wandered over the crowd before an exhausted sigh escaped her lips as her head dipped slightly. “I will accept them under strict visual surveillance. I nodded to CT as he translated. “But first, they must drop their weapons.”

There was absolutely no hesitation on their parts.

I think it surprised everyone but myself as one by one, guns were unloaded and haphazardly tossed into the crew compartments of the two dropships they came in. Metal clattered against one another as each survivor tossed aside their rifles, shotguns, and handguns. All they wanted was their freedom, and this was their opportunity, so they were not going to waste it. It only took a few minutes but once they were finished, all of them stood at attention before, in unison, they took a knee, and bowed their heads.

“They declare, their allegiance, to you,” CT stated as he bowed his head slightly as well.

Celestia stood there slack jawed.

“Give them a chance,” I smiled as I reached over and closed her jaw before she started drooling.

“I’ll do what I can…” she shook her head to regain her senses. “To all of you! Equestria welcomes you with open hooves! We will help you however we can!”

CT translated and the Kavor were quick to celebrate.

I suddenly coughed, blood splattering against the inside of my helmet. That wasn’t good. I coughed again and again, and that’s when my frame was wracked with a very violent coughing fit. I released Twilight and stepped forward while I was quickly flanked by CT, Celestia and the rest of my friends. I suddenly felt very weak on my feet, falling forward and catching myself on hands and knees. My vision was starting to become blurry and I could hardly see through all the blood coating the inside of my visor. I heard a gasp from someone, but I ignored it as I held a hand up to my neck where the seam of my helmet and suit come together. I rubbed it for a second before I held out my hand in front of my face.

My entire glove was soaked in blood.

“Shit… that's not good...”

That’s when I blacked out.

I awoke with a start who knows how long later, immediately gagging around the tube very presently shoved down my esophagus. I sat up as best as I could in the tiny medical pod palming at the glass with one hand and grabbing the tube with the other. I coughed around the tube as I tore the thing out of my mouth like a disgusting parasite, drooling all over my bare chest and shorts that I was currently wearing instead of my armor. Apparently, someone had stripped me of my armor, but that mattered not as I made one last wet gag as I finally felt the tube vacate my throat and mouth. I panted, dropping the tube in the space next to me before examining my initial surroundings. I could only see the metal of my ship's interior through the glass, but I quickly spotted the internal release for the pod immediately thereafter. Giving the handle a single jerk and the pod hissed loudly before the three doors popped open.

I groaned and let out a very painful hiss as I sat up, propping one hand against the edge of the pod. My shoulder was screaming, and I could hear an alarm going off. From the sounds of the alarm, it looked like I was awake much earlier than I should be. Regardless, I painfully pulled my carcass out of the pod and into standing position, stumbling slightly as I took my first few tentative steps. I padded my way from the back of the ship and towards the cockpit, stumbling up the ramp where I found my sister standing before the navigation.

“Ember?” I questioned as I finally reached the top of the ramp. “What happened? Where is everyone?”

“Welcome Operator,” Ordis greeted me in a very monotone voice.

It was as if he had been reset.

“Ordis?” I questioned in confusion as I rubbed my face with my right hand. “What the hell happened to you?”

“I reset him,” Ember answered over her shoulder without looking at me.

“You reset him? Why did you reset him!?”

“Because he needed it,” she replied in a rather stern tone. “I hope you're ready?”

“Ready for what?” I asked as I eyed my ship carefully. I was going to have to deal with Ordis in a minute after I figured out what the hell was going on.

“We’re leaving…”

Those two words sobered me up real quick.

“What! No, we’re not!” I countered quickly. “Why do you think we’re leaving?”

Ember spun on her heels, clearly glaring at me and probably looking at me like I was insane. “Because we have spent enough time on this worthless rock! You have done nothing productive and you fell in love with that… that… thing!”

My confusing demeanor immediately melted into vile hatred.

“Take that back…”

“Or what?” she said, almost smugly as she crossed her arms. “What are you going to do? You know I’m right. You’ve clouded your judgment. Let this place rot. It’s not worth our time.” She turned around and went back to the screen immediately after her 'explanation.'

I grit my teeth in anger.

Nobody insults my girl, not even my sister...

I had been pushed to the edge time and time again by my sister. Each time that grave was dug that much deeper. My fuse had been met and that was the straw that broke the Stover’s back. My fists clenched so hard that my fingernails cut my palms as my knuckles turned white with rage.

“Ember... “ I seethed. “This is your last warning… take it back. Now!”

I could practically hear that eye roll and the very clear sigh as she dropped her head before she turned back around, crossing her arms a second time. Apparently, my glare was not getting to her in the slightest.

“Or what?”

I inhaled sharply through my nostrils and my teeth cracked loudly. “Executive Order Number One. Voice activation, Excalibur!”

Her arms slowly separated before her armor suddenly locked up, shields shattering bright blue at the exact same time before she went limp, landing on her knees and sitting on her heels. I could hear her muffled screams of rage and panic coming from the inside of her helmet. She was very clearly angry, but I was beyond pissed off. I grabbed her by the back of her neck and dragged her sorry carcass through the ship. “Ordis…”

“Yes Operator?”

“Set course for Ponyville,” I ordered. “And cancel the departure order.”

“Yes Operator.”

I dragged my sister to the back of the ship and just before the ramp, haphazardly tossed her towards the closed platform. I reached down, tearing her helmet off her head. I was immediately greeted by a look of panic on her face.

“Cally what are you doing!?”

“Teaching you a fucking lesson!” I spat, tossing her helmet behind me before I grabbed her by the collar, lifting her off the floor slightly and pressing my face right against her own. “I’ve had it up to fucking here with you! All you have done for years is tolerate your bullshit! I’m done. I’m fucking done! You’re nothing but an insolent little bitch!”

The ship lurched, indicating that we were over or near Ponyville.

By now, Ember was openly sobbing as fresh tears streamed down her cheeks. I think that was the moment she finally realized that without her powers, let alone the ability to move, that she was finally having that ultimate realization. My sister begged me through her frantic sobs for me to reconsider and begged for my forgiveness.

“You’re going to learn your fucking lesson!” I shouted. The ramp extended, revealing a confused jet-black dragoness in jet black armor with red highlights. I ignored her as I stripped my sister of her armor. She palmed at my hand and the device within my grasp as soon as her hands were free, frantically begging and apologizing for her sins. But I cared not as I pulled the device away before grabbing her by the front of her under suit. Ember kicked and screamed like a child as I lifted her off the floor, heaving her down the ramp. She clattered against the metal, violently rolling down the ramp before dropping that last two feet onto the hard ground.

“Cally, Cally please!” she begged me as she frantically climbed to her feet and grabbed onto the ramp. “Cally please we can talk about this!”

“There’s nothing to talk about Ember…” I panted, shaking as my heart finally broke.

“Please!” she sobbed as she started climbing onto the ramp. Like a slave to their master, she crawled her way up the ramp.

“Get off my ship!”

“Pa-leeehease!” she wailed as she paused part way up the ramp. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Please forgive me-e-e-e-eeee!”

My arms shook violently as I clenched my knuckles pale yet again. I don’t know what came over me in that moment. Maybe it was the anger and the frustration. Maybe it was the stress or the pain. Maybe it was to teach her a lesson but I…

I…

I kicked my sister.

I had never raised a hand towards my sister intentionally. I had never slapped her, never punched her, let alone kicked her. But I kicked her square in the chest with so much force that she folded around my foot, folding in half like a taco, tumbling backwards, head over heels as she rolled down the ramp and landing hard, yet again, against the ground on her side. I stared her down as she slowly propped herself up on her hands and gave me that utter look of betrayal, fear, and sadness.

“You’re not my sister…” I sobbed, shaking my head.

“...Cally?”

I didn’t say anything more as I turned around and let the ramp close behind me.

She couldn't believe it…

She couldn't believe that her only family member had just done to her. I took away her suit, her powers, and I pushed her aside like an unwanted Kubrow. Worst of all, I wanted nothing to do with her. Ember, no, Lily, sat there in the middle of the street, heartbroken and dirty as she was forced to watch as I flew away in the Liset. With tears of sorrow streaming down her face, silently sobbing and begging for me to come back…

It wasn't going to happen…

With nothing left and the ship too far out of reach, she curled up into a ball, grabbing her knees with both arms, sobbing into her sleeves, soaking them with the tears of her ultimate downfall. She wasn't sure how long she had sat there, wallowing in her plethora of mistakes, but nearby, a large red stallion watched on.

Macintosh Apple watched on, ignoring the numerous stares the woman was receiving by the numerous dragons and ponies that watched on before he finally decided to approach her with slow and deliberate steps. Ember jumped with a surprising and terrified yelp when he gently rested his hoof on her shoulder, but he stayed stoic at her look of fear, offering up his hoof to help her stand.

"Come with me."

My tears had run dry by the time I had landed at the castle. I had spent my time and attention resting my friend back to his normal state. But once he was set, the ship had landed, and I stumbled out of the back of the ship, Princess Celestia and Luna had exited the building with a hateful glare and what looked like a snarl before they saw my injured self nearly nosedive into the grass once I reached the bottom of the ramp. I grunted when they caught me.

"Thanks," I muttered weakly.

"We need to get him to a doctor," Celestia said to her sister before addressing me. "What happened to your sister?"

I hissed as I limped my way along. "I had to teach her a lesson. AH!" I bit back and suppressed the desire to shout in agony at my shot left shoulder. "She's in Ponyville. Without her suit." I continued to limp along, but the pain was just too much as I suddendly lost my footing thanks to my knees constantly shaking. But even that fall wasn't any better.

I screamed out when I landed, clutching my left arm as I laid there on the ground in agony.

"Hang on big guy!" I heard Serenity say from somewhere nearby.

"Ve gotchu."

Two pairs of hands carefully grabbed me by the arms and lifted me off the cold, hard stone floor. Serenity eased my right arm over her shoulders while Drax held me up by my waist. I was panting and sweating from the sheer amount of pain dancing across my nerves. My legs were refusing to work, so I was just dragged through the building, the tips of my toes dragging as I went.

"Your one tough son-of-a-bitch," Serenity said with a smile.

"I think stupid is the better answer here," was my witty remark. "You guys okay?"

Serenity nodded. "A little bit of rest and some food had us going. But you look like you went through a meat grinder!"

"A tenderizer is more like it," I groaned. "What about the girls?"

"Twilight will be thrilled you're here," Celestia stated as she came around into view with a look of worry. "Everypony else has already made contact with their families. You saved lives…"

"Casualties?"

"Well over a thousand Grineer dead, you were a P.O.W. until recently," Serenity listed as we rounded a corner and entered the medical portion of the castle. There was a little medical pony at the front desk that quickly stood up and upon seeing me, led us into a free room. My friends gently set me down on the bed as I fought back the pain with groans and winces as I did my best to climb onto the tiny medical bed.

"And Ponyville?" I finally was able to ask as the mare set up and I.V. bag and grabbed my left hand, inserting the needle into a vein.

Celestia and Luna shared a concerning glance that made my heart sink before the former cleared her throat. "There are currently several in critical, but stable condition in Las Pegasus."

"But they are alive," Luna added quickly when she must have seen my own look of horror. "Not a single life was lost."

I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Holy shit…" I breathed out after a while running my right hand through my hair before I let it go limp, letting the back of my hand against my thigh. I took a second, much-needed deep breath. "We did it!" I said with a bit of excitement while holding up my right hand. Serenity was the first to step forward and give me a high five, followed by Drax as they too, smiled at our victory. "What about the Kavor?" I asked Celestia.

"They have eagerly been working away since you left," she answered with a tiny, appreciative smile. "They really wish to prove themselves. CT wishes to-"

Just then, Twilight poked her head in through the open door. "Cally!" she sobbed, immediately rushing into the room in a trot. When she was about halfway to the bed, she bent her knees and made a dive. I tensed up, inhaling sharply as I expected her to land on me with full force and body weight. But she vanished briefly in a flash of violent sparks before she gently fluttered onto the bed with a couple of wing flaps in her anthropomorphic state. When she gently landed onto the bed, where upon I immediately pulled her in close, lovingly kissing my girlfriend with everything I had.

"I thought I had lost you!" she sobbed, breaking the kiss.

I smiled as I held her with my good free arm, tenderly rubbing her bare back, enjoying her feeling of her fur through my fingers.

Wait a second…

I leaned back, examining my girlfriend and her very naked body.

"Hey Twily," I whispered as I leaned in closer.

"Yes?" she replied me with a twinkle in her eyes.

My eyes shot downwards briefly as a silent indicator. "You're naked," I smiled.

She blinked, clearly not understanding the point I was trying to make. "So?" she replied with a slight cock of her head. "We're always naked."

"I can see everything… and so can everyone else."

She blinked, they turned to the left slightly to look over her shoulder. Behind her, her friends, who had probably followed her in, were in various states of both embarrassment and laughter while the princesses were blushing and averting their gazes. Drax had a hand up to shield his eyes and Serenity had a knowing smirk on her face as she crossed her arms. Twilight looked back at me with a slight blush before she looked down at her exposed privates, fully realizing her mistake.

She whimpered embarrassingly, immediately covering her breasts with one hand, crotch with another, while her tail curled between her legs to hide what dignity she had remaining. In turn, I openly laughed at her misfortune, reaching around her to grab the blanket at the foot of the bed, pulling it up to at least cover her assets and protect her modesty. She sank into me, pressing her body tightly against my own and hiding her terribly red face in the crook of my neck.

I pecked her on the top of her head as a show of support.

Celestia approached the bed, inclining her head and closing her eyes. "Equestria. No! The world is in your debt," she bowed to me, followed by her sister and the rest of the girls, Spike as well. "You selflessly sacrificed your safety and your very life to protect us, even after you had no obligation to do so. Even after I made such a mistake... We will be forever in your debt."

I blinked, glancing back towards my fellow humans who just watched me expectantly in return. "I have the Grineer under watch in case they try something more," I explained as everyone stood up straight and gave me their full attention. "For now, you can rest easing knowing that help is well within reach." I turned towards Celestia and looked her square in the eyes as I continued speaking. "But this isn't over, not by a long shot. The Grineer tracked me here through Void Tracing, a new experimental technology designed to search and track Tenno ships and persons as well. I inadvertently brought them here and it is my burden to bear that Ponyville was destroyed."

"Excalibur it was out of your-"

I silenced Celestia with a hand and a resolute shake of my head. "They are my enemy and my presence here has put your people and this planet at risk.” This time I bowed my head. “For that, I am truly sorry.” When I opened my eyes, my vision was blurry, and I suddenly felt very lightheaded. I fought it as best as I could before the dark circles on the edges of my vision before I felt my head hit the pillow.

I awoke with a start not too long later, groaning and wincing as I rubbed my face.

Well that was something…

I blinked and clenched my eyes shut much tighter and rubbed my eyes this time before I sat up slightly. I took a deep breath and turned my head towards the window in the room, only to find out it was dark outside.

I groaned in both pain and annoyance. “I passed out again…” Rolling my head the opposite direction, I noticed a small diagnostic scanner on the table next to the bed, along with a glass of water. I grabbed the scanner and pressed it against my chest and let the little round device do its job while I sipped from the glass as the cool, refreshing and clean liquid ran down my gullet. It only took about a minute before the device beeped once before a holographic screen of my body projected itself in front of me. My left shoulder joint blinked red, along with my head, and a few internal organs.

“Concussion, shot shoulder, and internal bruising… great…” I listed oh-so enthusiastically. Explained the loss of consciousness, why my shoulder hadn’t stopped screaming, and why my everything hurt. That beating I received left me bruised on most of my body as well, if the plethora of dark patches and blue marks were any key indicator. I took a deep breath before removing the device from my chest and placing both it and the partially filled glass of water back where I found them.

I pursed my lips and thought about what to do next.

I could barely walk and without my suit, or even some of my tech, there was no way I was going to heal faster than I am now.

I sighed. Maybe this was my excuse to finally start pulling back?

I had given my proposal to Twilight, perhaps it was time to tie that knot?

“A thousand years…” I muttered to myself as I gazed out the window and over the city skyline of the capital city. Down on the dim lit streets, they were as dead as the night itself. Lights were on in homes and buildings but there was little to no activity within. The country was on lockdown and I was going to have to face one hell of a shitstorm. For sure I was going to have to explain myself to what was going to be a trial by fire… and social execution. I sighed a second time that night, slowly nodding my head. “Time to end this war and settle down…”

I had my plan…

And it brought a smile to my face.

I sat there, for who knows how long, staring out the window of my room and into the dark, clear skies of the Equestrian night. The fact that I had done so many bad things, numerous mistakes, and wanting nothing than to pack up, leave, and abandon it all for nothing. This was the life I never wanted, but this was the hand I had been dealt. I had lost myself. This was not who I was or had ever been. I shook my head at my failures. The list just went on.

“I’m so ashamed of myself…” I admitted as I continued to shake my head. “Way to go dumbass.”

I was knocked from my own mental shaming when the door suddenly opened before closing just as fast as it opened. The hybrid at the door paused when she saw that I was awake, her bright purple eyes blinked at me before I heard and saw her flap her wings once, then she quickly padded her way towards the bed. At first, I was eager to get some snuggles in, gladly lifting the sheet from my legs so that she could to join me. Twilight quickly climbed into the bed, climbing on top of me and immediately pressing her body and lips into my own. I moaned into her mouth initially but furrowed my brow immediately after that when I noticed that Twilight was getting a little too into the kiss.

I shrugged mentally and let my eyes flutter close before slowly wrapping my arms around her back. Much like earlier that day, she was completely naked again. I didn't mind though, I relished at the feeling of her fur as it tickled my skin pleasantly and the way her pert nipples rubbed against my bare chest. She eagerly cupped my face with both hands, holding my head firmly in place while she spread her legs over my lap, the sides of her soft calves brushing against my thighs as she adjusted herself atop me.

I grunted in pain when she pressed her hips into my groin as she started to grind herself a top me. I winced, and groaned again in pain, which she must have taken lust as she started to bounce a little harder and more aggressively. My shorts were starting to soak through from the only source it could, her wet slit. I let out a moan that was both a mixture of pain and pleasure as my body's natural response was to harden under her aggressive grinding, but to which the pain in my chest and shoulder was begging me to stop.

And I really wanted to stop as well.

I grabbed her by the sides and quickly broke the kiss. “Twilight…” I winced.

But her response was to pull me in tighter, pressing my head and face into her bosom, holding my head there with both arms. My plea seemed to fall on deaf ears as she whimpered and panted, continuously dry humping my now rock-hard erection.

“Ah! Shit!” I winced even harder this time, which seemed to take both my moans of agony and my attempt to stop her physically as motivation to grind harder. By this point, my shorts were soaked through with her lady cum as it spread like a river through the fabric. “Twilight stop...” I begged weakly. Not even a second later, she paused her aggressive grinding just long enough for me to let out a sigh of relief. “What’s gotten into you?”

“Hopefully you here in a second!” she panted huskily as she ran her hands through my hair.

“No Twilight wai-HA-A!” I inhaled sharply, shuddering involuntarily when my shorts disappeared in a flash of violate light before she pressed her warm, moist nether lips against the underside of my extremely sensitive shaft. She prepped me for what was to come next, smearing my shaft from base to tip with her natural lubricant with long, deliberate strokes of her hips. Once she felt that I was good and lubricated, she sat up, reached between our bodies and grasped my length with tender fingers, aiming it right between her legs.

I bit my lip as my girlfriend eased herself into my tip, letting out a low and throaty moan. “Breed me… breed me long and hard! I want to carry your foal! Please!”

Something was up, something was clearly up. But I couldn't put my finger on it, especially with her sexing me up like this. At this point, I was getting ready to concede and let her have her much desired ride, but that changed when Twilight moved her arms from the back of my head and rested her palms on my shoulders.

My left shoulder couldn’t take it and gave way…

I screamed out in agony, immediately reaching across my body and grasping at my now dislocated shoulder. I was in too much agony to even care about the fact that I hilted her when she lost her balance. She too seemed to be in too much of a shock as well as she held up her hands. “Stop Twilight! Enough!” I screamed at her angrily. “What the fuck is wrong with you!?”

Just then, the door handle jiggled and clicked as the door opened. Luna entered a moment later, not paying attention at all before she lifted her head and reeled back slightly. “Are we… interrupting something?”

This felt like a moment of a child walking in on their parents doing it. Twilight's head immediately snapped over her shoulder while her hands snapped to her chest to protect her modesty while she blushed up a storm.

“No…” I moaned as I rubbed my shoulder before glaring up at Twilight. “You came in at the right time…” Twilight slowly turned back towards me and began the agonizing process of separating our genitals from one another. She whimpered while I stayed stone faced as she climbed off me and laid down next to me, keenly making sure to avert her gaze, finding the floor exceptionally interesting. Thankfully the sheet covered what I wanted it to. “How can I help you Luna?”

“We-” Luna started as she stepped into the room before she sniffed at the air. The lunar princess lifted her head slightly, taking a few more tentative whiffs before she blinked, and stared down at Twilight with a cark blush. The girl in question tightened up next to me, pulling the sheet a little farther over her head. “Are… are you in heat?”

That’s when the very distinct stench of sex that seemed to be a lot more potent than it had been before graced my nostrils.

Twilight fully covered her head with the sheet in shame.

My gaze slowly drifted down towards her before my eyes narrowed suspiciously. “Twilight?” I said slowly, causing her balled up form to curl up that much more. “What did you do?”

“...nothing…”

“What. Did. You. Do!” I seethed through my teeth. She didn’t say anything, probably hoping that if she didn’t answer, I wouldn’t press the issue. “TWILIGHT!” I finally shouted, fed up with this bullshit now. “Fucking explain yourself! NOW!”

She snapped into a sitting position, not even caring about showing her upper half to the other occupant in the room. Tears were streaming down her face as she bit her quivering lower lip. She choked up, sputtered as she tried to explain herself. “I-I… I thought I had lost you again!” she wailed, finally breaking down all the way. “I took a heat potion because… because…”

“Because what, Twilight…” I pressed darkly...

“Because she is seeking to carry your foal,” Luna answered with narrowed gaze as she approached the bed, causing Twilight to shrink under the lunar mare’s gaze. “What you have done is reckless and irrational and you have not cared to take your mates feelings into consideration young mare!”

“I can handle it!” she protested.

“Clearly not!” I interceded.

“I can please!” Twilight begged as she looked from Luna to me and back, holding her hands in a pleading gesture before her. “I promise!”

I sat in my wheelchair with my arms crossed -and shoulder relocated- as I glared at the nude mare before me. Twilight frantically pawed and beat at the golden bubble currently encased around her. I could see her lips moving, but I couldn’t hear her frantic pleas and begging’s of forgiveness before I turned my attention towards a tired looking Celestia and a more awake Luna. The former lacking her regalia and the latter wearing her's.

Celestia sighed as Luna finished her explanation of what had happened. Luna and I had conceded and just let Twilight stay the night as long as she didn't try any funny buisness. My girlfriend had barely made it an hour before her sexual urges and desires got the best of her. Luna was in there in a heartbeat and restrained Twilight before she woke up Celestia.

“I will deal with her…” Celestia stated, glancing up at the bubble.

“What did she take anyway?” I asked, looking towards the mare with a more friendly, but exhausted gaze.

“A heat Potion, often referred to as an estrogen or hormonal potion,” Celestia further explained. “A very potent concoction of hormones, estrogen, and other medications. It was originally designed to help royals have foals immediately in order to preserve their bloodlines and to help with the population. Now, it’s given out under medical prescription.”

“I could have done without the explanation. But how did she get her hands on one?” I asked.

“Probably brewed it,” Luna stated. “She’s always been good at that.”

“I will deal with her,” Celestia reiterated before she brought the bubble closer to her muzzle, narrowing her eyes at the mare inside. Twilight smiled sheepishly and waved her fingers as she sat in a ball inside. “Twilight, my faithful student,” Celestia said with a rather menacing smile before it slowly faded into a disapproving frown. “You are in one heap of trouble!”

The last I saw of Twilight was her pleading face as she was taken away by the solar princess.
