The Dusk Side of Nightmare
Chapter 21: Castle Chaos: Part 1
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“Man, trying to find out the bastard who kidnapped Sonata is harder than I thought.” Shadow Heart groaned as he looked into another building.
‘Hey I’m not a fan of this either, but we have to work fast or we’ll lose Sonata and the girls forever.’ Dusk said as he was in his thoughts on where to go.
“Hold on a second,” Shadow heart thought to himself as he stopped for a moment. “Maybe we’re looking at this the wrong way.”
‘What are you talking about?’ Dusk asked in confusion. ‘What could we be missing?’
“If this guy is really in a position of power like what Leonore mentioned before, wouldn’t he be showing off his prize to the town?”
‘What do you mean?’
“Think about it, if I were as demented as he was I would want to parade my prize around and rub it in everyones faces, and where I’d do it would be…”
‘Somewhere in town.’ Dusk exclaimed in surprise. ‘I think that may have been the most non sexual thing you may have said since we got here.’
“I told you I just don’t think with my dick all the time.”
‘Yeah, since I have to remind you about it.’
“If you’re done insulting me, why don’t we put my little theory to the test?”
Shadow Heart continued to walk along and avoid any passerby guards that were patrolling the city looking for him, and during that time, he saw a group of demons gathering around in front of him for some reason.
‘What’s going on over there?’ Dusk asked in confusion.
“I think that’s my theory being at work.” Shadow Heart said with a smile as he walks forward. He had to push past some of the crowd in order to see what was going on. Shadow Heart and Dusk finally notice what was happening as they see a large chariot being pulled by demonic tigers. Standing on the chariot was a stallion who was waving towards the crowd.
He stood at around 6’9 and his fur was bright red but that’s not what caught the sirens attention. What did was his long serpent tail hanging behind him, and on his head were two light gray horns that jutted out from the sides of his head for a couple inches then curled upwards to a fine point. His membranous wings were a silverish grey while his coat was a pure white.
He put on a wine colored dress shirt and dark red slacks and topped with a bright red waistcoat and red loafers that matched. He even had a pair of
‘Who in Tartarus is that suppose to be?’ Dusk asked in confusion.
“Must be a higher up given his clothing.” Shadow Heart added. “And a well groomed one at that.”
“I’m so glad you all could join me to welcome the newest addition to my harem,” The stallion spoke in a high class demeanor all while yanking on a metal chain. “This one was an extremely rare find as I thought they were all extinct.”
“Celestia this asshole’s voice is actually making me want to vomit.” Shadow Heart grimaced.
‘Shadow Heart! The Carriage!’ Dusk exclaimed in surprise much to his friend.
“What about his damned carriage?”
‘Look’s who’s in it! It’s Sonata!’
“Wait, what?” Shadow Heart said in confusion. The stallion then pulled on the chain once again and out came Sonata who had a look of despair on her face. It was a metal bikini with red accents along with a thin metal codpiece that was fashioned as a thong almost exposing her pussy that dug into her chest and groin making her squirm in discomfort.
‘That must be the stallion that Leonore mentioned earlier back at the bar.’
“That Bastard…” Shadow Heart growled clutching his fist in anger. “how dare he?”
‘What’s wrong?’ Dusk asked in confusion. “The fact that he’s parading her around like he owns her?”
“He hurt her,” He growled. “That bastard hurt her and it’s written all over her face.”
‘He what?!’
“When we rescue her, I’m hoping we can pay this asshole a visit and teach him the meaning of pain.”
‘I’m not happy about what happened to Sonata either, but I’d rather not cause a scene,’ Dusk exclaimed. ‘We’re already in hot water with the two hellhounds you fucked earlier.’
“TCH! Dammit all… I hate it when you’re right.” Shadow Heart groaned as he backed away slightly to try and stay out of the crowd.
Meanwhile Skeletal Deviant was waving at the crowd as he paraded the exotic mare.
“She’s a rare and beautiful siren fresh from the living world, but is currently in her pony form.” He replied. He then turns around and looks into her face. “She doesn’t have her amulet sadly, but I can recreate it to give back her siren’s song.”
Sonata’s reply was to spit into Skeletal’s face causing him to recoil in surprise. He casually smiles and wipes the spit from her face and roughly yanked her chain, making her fall to the floor.
“She seems to be a rather feisty one, but she’ll be bending to my will soon enough.” He boasted and the crowd cheered as he sat back down onto the chariot and they rolled off towards a large road in town. Skeletal then looks at Sonata and pulls him closer to her.
“Come now, no need to be so resentful of me,” He bragged while likcing at her neck causing the blue mare to grimace. “When this is all over, you’ll be happier than you ever were with me.”
“You kidnapped me you pig,” She said with disgust in her voice.
“Heh, you’ll be singing a different tune when I make you mine.” He said as the blinds closed off and the chariot continued it’s route to his desired destination leaving the crowd and Shadow Heart behind.
“Heh, there’s our girl.”
“Can agree with you on that.” Dusk replied as he stared at the siren longingly.
“So the bookworm has finally accepted he’s taking a shine to the siren huh?” Shadow teased.
“What I-I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Dusk sputtered glad that he wasn’t in his body currently because he would’ve blushed at his other halfs remark.
“Don’t deny it lover boy, you feel the same about her like you do Chrysalis, and everyone else in your harem and don’t try saying you like them as friends because we are one in the same so I know every emotion and thought you’ve ever had.”
“I...I...but that’s...um… look let’s just focus on saving her ok?”
“Speechless I see, that’s a first.”
“Shut up.”
“So where do you think they’re heading?”
‘Must be somewhere important if he’s some important big shot.’ Dusk replied. ‘It would be easier if we can follow them.’
“So if we follow the bastard, then we’ll find out where he’s taking her?”
‘Exactly’ Dusk replied ‘Try to stay in the shadows for now, and we’ll see where the chariot goes from there.’
“I’ve got a better option.”
‘What are you talking about? All I see are guards surrounding the damn chariot that the bastard is riding in.’ Dusk replied in a dull tone. ‘What are you thinking?’
What do you think? Shadow Heart said as he snuck through the crowd and made sure no one was looking as he slid under the chariot without a problem.
‘This is your fucking plan?’ Dusk asked in anger and shock. ‘How the hell is this supposed to work?’
“Come on, you remember that cheesy spy film you watched with Barb didn’t you?”
‘There is now way this is going to work,’ Dusk replied in a dull tone. ‘Especially since their is guards that are out to get us as well as guards surrounding him at all times.’
-Five minutes later-
Skeletal Deviant’s chariot soon stopped and he stepped off while yanking on Sonata’s chain forcing her to fall onto the floor.
“Ah, the castle of Queen Leonore,” He sighed as he looked up at the massive structure.
“Get up my dear,” He commanded. “We have a meeting to attend to and after that, you’re mine for all eternity.”
“Someone will find me,” Sonata said in defiance trying to hold onto at least a glimmer of hope, only to have her chain yanked forward again forcing her to the ground. She is then roughly gripped by her arms by her captor and he glared down at her.
“Listen young lady,” He glared with a dark grin. “Other than the queen here, I have a lot of power, and I worked hard to get into the position I am today, so I suggest playing nice unless you want me to make it painful for you.”
Sonata was still defiant, but she turned away defeated with her eyes closed as he pulled at her chain and she walked with him as were the few demonic guards that were joined by him. Soon as everyone was gone, Shadow Heart got from under the chariot and slipped into the shadows with a smile on his face.
“Well, that’s one way to hitch a ride,” Shadow Heart replied with a smile as he stretched his limbs. “Glad the ride ended though, any longer and I would’ve gotten a wing cramp.”
‘I stand corrected,’ Dusk sigh in defeat. ‘I can’t believe that fucking worked.’
“And you said that watching cheesy spy movies were a waste of time.”
‘Shut up, my doubt was because certain things like that only worked in movies.’ Dusk replied. ‘So where are we now?’
“Let me look around,” Shadow heart replied as he began to survey the area. The chariot was next to him as were the beasts that were sleeping peacefully beside it. There was a large wall of granite and steel next to him on his left side. What got his attention was on his right side. His eyes were transfixed on a large palace that was in the center of the city. It appeared to be a large castle that was similar to the one in Canterlot, but it was more dark and gritty than the one that was back home. It looked like someone took a bit from Nightmare Rarity's old castle from the moon and decided to upgrade it from dreamy nightmare to creepy.
“Quite the structure here.” Shadow Heart thought to himself looking at the large structure. ”Reminds me of back home before moving to Ponyville, only more darker and gritty.
‘You just now notice that?’ Dusk replied from the necklace. ‘As much as I don’t like the idea of going through there, It’s the only place we haven’t checked if we’re going to find Sonata at all.’
”How do you suppose we get in?” Shadow Heart asked as he took sight of the castles battlements. ”I doubt they’ll let us walk through the front door.”
’Well it shouldn’t be too tough. We manage to break into the Star Swirl the Bearded wing with Barb and Pinky Pie. Dusk pointed out.
”That’s not a hard thing to do as Starlight, Sunset, and Chrysalis have each broken into the castle before. One being on more than one account.” Shadow Heart pointed back as they walked closer to the big castle.
’...Point…’ Dusk admitted from the necklace. ’Sheesh, when we get Sonata back home I’m going to have to send a letter to Celesta and Luna about security measures in the Castles. Seems that anyone with a degree in some form of smarts could get in.’
“Right, so what do you suppose we do?”
‘Well given how the royal demon guard is after us thanks to your stunt earlier, we’ll have to do this stealthily.’
“There’s an open window right above me,” Shadow Heart called out making Dusk stop his train of thought. He pointed towards an open window that was on a column that was sitting above them and all they had to do was climb.
’Oh… well that’s convenient.’ He simply stated.
“Well if you’re done being a smart ass,” Shadow Heart replied spreading his wings outward and crouching to get a good jump. “We got a hot siren gal to save.”
‘Right,’ Dusk said in agreement as Shadow Heart soon takes flight and jumps towards the window that was above him and goes through the window.
-Sonata’s POV-
Sonata was pulled by Skeletal Deviant’s magical chain around her arms as she walked through the halls of the dark castle. The colors were of red, black and blue, and the flames that sparked as well as the screams of tortured souls sent chills down the blue mare’s spine as she walked through the many halls.
“Hope you can get accustomed to your new home Sonata,” Skeletal Deviant chuckled with a smile. “I have a special room for where you, and my harem will be staying.”
“You do know that I’m not your mate right?” Sonata replied with a low growl, only to have Skeletal yanked on her chain and she stumbles forward. He then lifted her up by her face forcing the mare to look into his eyes.
“Not yet my dear,” Skeletal Deviant replied in a sinister tone. “And we’re only getting started. I have big plans for when I get further into my future plans for this city and later the world. Any they all involve you and your former master’s harem.”
“What do you mean by that?” Sonata asked with a mix of fear and confusion. “What plans could you possibly have that involves me and the other girls?”
“That’ll be a tale for another time,” Skeletal Deviant said as they both stopped at a rom that had his cutie mark on it. “But for now, why don’t you get situated with my other lovers for the time being?”
“What?” Skeletia Deviant then undoes the Spell on Sonata, and pushes her forward into the room after he opened the door and she falls forward and onto the floor in the room. Skeletal Deviant then locks the door and Sonata was locked in a very dark room. She couldn’t see much at first, until several wax candles started lighting up to brighten up the room. In the center, much to Sonata’s surprise, revealed a large harem of women of different races on a large canopy bed that looked like it could hold several ponies. It wasn’t just demons either, there were also other creatures belonging to different races that sat on the bed and were in similar clothing that Sonata was wearing. Sonata was surprised since they weren’t all mares in this stallions harem.
On the left was a Minotaur with pink fur that reminded her of Pinkie Pie while her lower torso was colored light brown. She had long honey blonde hair that fell past her shoulders and from what the siren could guess stopped at her lower back.
The Second girl looked to be of a feline like race, she had short black hair matched with brown fur and gray underbelly and had on a pair of glasses over her golden slit eyes. Sonata was only reminded of Rarity’s cat Opalescence based on the girls face, whiskers, and tail.
The third one wasn’t even a pony to her but had human features on her, she had a pair of horns sticking out of her head. Her body was red and her eyes were amber with black sclera. Her ghost white hair made it look as if she had snow on the top of her head. Sonata wasn’t sure what type of creature she was since she had feet instead of hooves.
The fourth was a pony but not your typical pony that you would see most of the time. Sonata had heard of Batponies before from Nightmare Moon, but she has never seen one that was purely white before. Her eyes were also slit with bright red iris and in a way reminded her more of a vampire.
The fifth girl was also more human like the horned creature and looked to be a strong and powerful demon. Her hair was blood red and her eyes were a pure silver color. Her limbs looked to be covered in white fur along with patches of red colored scales on her neck, shoulders while there were other patches that covered her wrists, forearms, and most of her legs.
The final girl was actually a dragoness and her scales were a bright silver with a cream colored underbelly her eyes were a ruby red and she was much taller than the other girls, which was no surprise with her being a dragon. Her wingspan looked to be about 18 ft long giving her a more menacing appearance. Other than Barb, she never met any other dragoness before.
“Um... hi.” Sonata managed to say since it was more awkward for her as it already was.
“You one of the new girls that was added into Skeletal’s harem?” The dragoness said with a cheery grin.
“Um, yes?” Sonata said with a nervous smile. The dragoness suddenly tackled her and hugged the shocked mare, making her even more confused.
“Yay, we have a new friend,” She said with a smile and Sonata was trapped in the dragonesses bearhug and her head almost being crushed by her very large breasts.
“That or we have Skeletal’s new pet,” The archdemon girl said with a dark glare and she just turned away from the group. “Probably one that got caught and lost to him like the rest of us.”
“Come now, you don’t know that,” The catgirl said in response to the archdemon. “She may have been living here and wanted to join, not knowing who he is.”
“Well hopefully he wasn’t as rough with her as he was with us.” The white furred batpony replied in a calm tone. “You know how he gets if he’s upset.”
“It’s why I try to avoid getting near him when he’s like that,” The Minotaur mare replied with a sigh as she groped and massaged her huge breasts. “He gets especially rough with my girls whenever I start leaking after he’s had a long day.”
“Wait, what are you talking about?” Sonata asked in confusion.
“We’re talking about our master Skeletal Deviant,” The oni girl replied with a smile. “He can be pretty mean when he’s angry, but when he’s happy he can be pretty rough.
“What the hay is wrong with all of you?” Sonata asked with worry in her voice. “You’re acting as if he’s a nice guy when he’s a real jerk.”
“Girls you don’t have to act like you like the asshole,” The archdemon girls replied with a cold glare. “He only threw the newbie here and walked away.”
“Wait, so she’s not under his control?” The minotaur girl replied in a confused tone.
“I don’t feel any spell on her when she was throne in,” The archdemoness replied. “So what I don’t understand is why she’s not under his control right now if she was with that asshole.”
“How could she not be a new addition in his harem?”
“Did anyone think to pay attention to the collar around her neck?” She replied. All eyes were now on Sonata’s neckline as they notice the rose colored collar she has on was different to theirs. Sonata’s collar had hearts surrounding it while the girls that were currently within Skeletal’s inner circle all had crossbones surrounding their.
“Oh, now that makes more sense,” The dragoness replied. “Anyways, what’s your name?”
“Sonata Dusk,” She replied. “And how did you know something was wrong?”
“Like I said, your collar color was different, plus you didn’t sound like a dopey lovesick child earlier, you sounded more like a scared little filly.” The archdemoness replied. “The name is Ruby Ρενμάντ by the way.”
“Ρeva what now?”
“It’s greek for Remnant,” Ruy replied.
What’s greek, ooh is that a fancy kind of food?”
“You know what, just forget it,” She replied with a groan as she knelt lazily to her side.
“You can call me Crystal Spines,” The dragoness replied as she brought Sonata into another bone crushing hug and Sonata whimpered and felt like some of her bones were breaking.
“Crystal hun,” The minotaur replied. “Anymore and you’re gonna crush her, plus it looks like she’s struggling to breathe from your iron grip.”
Crystal heard the minotaur girl and looked at Sonata who was a darker shade of blue in the face. Realizing what her friend was talking about she let go and allowed Sonata to breathe, and she was gasping for air.
“Hehe, sorry about that” Crystal replied with a smile. “Anyways, You already met miss grumpy lump over there but she’s like that most of the time so no need to worry.”
“Shut up Crystal.”
“This is Olga Lionheart,” Crystal replied pointing towards the minotaur and she waved at Sonata with a motherly smile on her face. “She’s very friendly when you get to know her better.”
“True,” Olga replied.
“You can call me Lolee,” The oni girl replied as she brought her hand out for a hand shake.
“Did you get a sunburn because you’re red all over?”
“Great he picked a simpleton.” Ruby groaned.
“Hey I might not be that smart and all but I got plenty of heart thank you.” Sonata huffed crossing her arms.
“As for your previous question no, it’s my natural skin color, I’m called an oni.”
“Oni?”
“Sheesh, you act as if you’ve been banished for over 1000 years, what kind of rock have you been living under?”
“Funny you mention that,” The siren giggled sheepishly.” I was banished for a 1000 years.”
“Really?” Crystal asked in surprise and confusion. “Then how are you back?”
“It’s a long story, but I’m back in Equestria.” Sonata replied. “Anyways, who's the bat pony that’s covered in snow?”
“SNOW!?” The thresal yelled in anger. “I’m an albino batpony you dense moron.”
“What’s albino mean?”
“Ungh...you really are a dense moron…” She replied with a groan as she slumped lazily on the side. “The Names Pale Nuit airhead.”
“You remind me of Rainbow Dash and how rude she can be sometimes,” Sonata pointed out. “Also what does that mean?”
“Yeah whatever airhead,” She responded turning away from her. “It means White Night,”
“Hmph, you don’t have to be rude ya know,” Sonata replied with a pout, only for the anthro cat girl to step in.
“Sorry, ignore our friend here, it’s just how she is and she hates it when anyone confuses her skin for snow,” She replied. “My name is Catrina Clawserson, the brains of the group.”
“Nice to meet you,” Sonata replied with a smile. “What exactly are you, I haven’t seen anything like you before?”
“I’m what’s known as an abyssinian. A race of anthro cats from the abyssinian kingdom.” Catrina replied.
“Wow, so do you still lick yourselves clean or something?” Sonata asked making Catrina blush.
“What in your right mind gives you that idea?” She asked in shock and slowly backed away from Sonata.
“Well aren’t the Abyssinians like domestic house cats?”
“What, no we are not, we are a sophisticated race that live normal lives as any other race on Equis.”
“I at least want to know first,” Sonata added as she got behind Catrina with a sinister smile. “And I know just how to do that.”
“Hey, what do you think you’re…..”Her ears perked up in surprise at the contact, then suddenly relaxed along with the rest of her body as she began to purr loudly at the massage she was feeling on her skull.
“Ooohhh yeeeaaah that feels good.” She purred as her tail twitched at the sensation she was feeling, it was unlike anything she ever felt before and she didn’t want the siren to stop.
“Hehe, you remind me of my friend Rarity and her pet cat when she gets her ears get scratched,” She smiled as she continued her ministrations while everyone else in the room was left utterly speechless by the girl as she ran her fingers through the Abyssinian. Pale and Ruby did snicker a little bit with how Sonata was just messing with her.
“Okay, I think that’s enough of messing with our friend Catrina,” Olga replied pulling Sonata away from her.
“Aw, I wanted to play with her some more,” She whined as she was pulled away from a now dazed on confused Catrina. She then catches onto what happened as she blushed in embarrassment and anger towards Sonata for doing that to her.
“Okay, don’t ever do that again,” She said as she turned her back and Sonata then turns to the rest of the girls.
“So how did you all get claimed by him anyway?” Sonata asked. Ruby was the first to step forward as she had a deep scowl on her face.
“I challenged the bastard challenged me to a duel in order to gain his position and I lost,” Ruby answered with a dark growl. “I still don’t know how he beat me, I was the top of my class back in magic school, and yet he shows up and beats me without batting an eye like a damned imp!”
“I was out wanting to study medicine and I fell into a trap that he left for me and I was brought here,” Catrina replied, raising her hand. “I wanted to study to be a doctor and he comes by and takes my virginity.”
“I was out doing my job as a milk mare and my travels led me to a portal and he brought me here,” Olga replied raising her hand. “He doesn’t care who he brings as long as he sates his desires.”
“I was fed up with my position as a warden for King Yema back in my old village, so I was looking around in search of a new one at the time,” Lolee said raising her hand. “ I happened on Haydon City by chance and I was captured by hell hounds and taken here to be his plaything. Said it was rare for an Oni to be in the kingdom.”
“Um, I was more into treasure hunting and wanted to explore new unexplored lands,” Pale replied raising her hand. “My travels led me to the city where I got lost and was captured by a slaver trade and sold to Skeletal Deviant as his new sex slave.”
“I was outside of my former cave and met him by accident since I wasn’t like other dragons and I stepped into the portal by accident, not knowing who he was.” Crystal managed to say, raising her hand. “Next thing I know, I get caught into his trap with a few gems and now I’m part of his little entourage.”
“That’s terrible,” Sonata replied.
“What about you?” Ruby asked. “How were you taken and dumped here by your former owner?”
“I wasn’t dumped here,” Sonata said in defense, taking offense towards Ruby’s comment. “I was kidnapped from my master and taken here against my will.”
“What?”
“What kind of demon did that bastard kidnap you from?” Crystal asked.
“He took me from an incubus named Dusk Shine while I was out grocery shopping,”
“Dusk Shine?” Crystal asked in confusion. “That doesn’t sound like a demon name.”
“He’s half demon,” Sonata answered causing everyone in the room to look at her funny. “What?”
“A half demon, he took you from a half demon?” Ruby asked in both anger and confusion. “Are you punking us or something?”
“Please tell us you’re joking,” Catrina added. Sonata only got angry hearing this.
“I’m telling the truth, as to how he claimed me and a few others it’s a long story,” she said in defense. “Not only that, he said that he had plans for me and the others since I’m the head mare of his harem.
“Well if he does know you’re here then good luck,” Ruby added as she slumped onto the bed. “I’m an archdemon and even I couldn’t beat him, so what luck does a half breed demon have at beating him?”
“You don’t know Dusk like I do,” She replied. “He’s kind, sweet, understanding, has the biggest heart anypony could ever ask for, and not to mention he’s AMAZING in bed too.” She sighed wistfully, missing him already. “But most important in the past few months I’ve known him he never gives up on his friends no matter what.”
“He’s weak.” Ruby stated bluntly making Sonata frown at her comment.
“Hey.”
“Like I said, if he’s a half demon what chance does he have to beat a full demon like Skeletal?” Ruby inquired. “Plus I doubt he’s looking for you right now.”
An audible crack was soon heard and everyone just looked at Sonata in shock as her hand was red and on Ruby’s cheek was a large red handprint on the left side of her face. She looks back at an angry Sonata who’s was red with rage and tears trickling down her face.
“He. is. NOT. WEAK!” She shouted, her nostrils flaring as she fumed at the archdemons statement. She then grabbed her by the horns forcing her to stare into the eyes of the now angered siren.
“Listen here you high maintenance, self centered bitch. Dusk is the greatest pony I could possibly ever know and is the only one who treated me nicely when day in and day out. I was thought by my sisters as nothing more than just a simple minded idiot that got in their way most of the time. And when he claimed me I let him because I knew in my heart he was perfect, not to mention when he claimed the rest of our harem and got all of us pregnant, he took us in without a single complaint because he knew he was going to be responsible for us,” Sonata kept staring into the demons eyes and continued. “He’s fought an alicorn, a goddess of chaos, saved two kingdoms, fought magic stealing demon, traveled to a different world to protect it, and traveled all across time to save Equestria itself, and even defeated an old enemy that the pillars sealed away, so if you still think that my little Duskie is just a weak little foal you’re wrong, and if I hear another word out of that big gaping mouth of yours, I’ll rip off your horns and shove them so far up your ass you’ll need a surgeon to remove them, you got that?!” She finished while Ruby was left stunned at the sirens seething glare and nodded automatically as she felt her grip completely slacken and suddenly her demeanor changed in a near one-eighty as she smiled brightly to her.
“Good.” She smiled while everyone else in the room was left speechless at the display.
“Woah, she’s got quite a backbone on her,” Lolee replied with a grin and Ruby only looks back at her in surprise unsure of what to say let alone with what Sonata said to the most powerful demon in their group.
“You sure seem to love him very much,” Crystal said softly.
“If he is half demon like you said then he must be very powerful,” Olga added with a motherly tone. “I do find it intriguing for a pony to love someone this much.”
Ruby only sighs at seeing how driven she was and backs off. “Guess if you have that much hope for the guy I’m not gonna bash him anymore, but what makes you think he can find you all the way out here?”
“He could always tell that something was wrong if it came to me or the rest of the girls, and he wouldn’t hesitate to risk himself for any of us.” Sonata replied.
“Sounds like he’s a powerful demon based on what you’re claiming.”
“Yeah, and even though he’s an alicorn, he still finds time for each of us.”
“Wait, alicorn?” Catrina said in confusion. “Your incubus master is half alicorn?”
“Well duh,” Sonata said with a sarcastic tone. “What else could he be if he wasn’t able to do what he does?”
“Guess that explains the achievement he has,” Pale Nuit replied with amazement. “So he’s half demon and half Alicorn,”
“Meaning that he must be powerful, so I take back what I said,” Ruby said with a sigh. “But that doesn’t explain how he got you away from him.
“He’s not used to his powers since they’ve awoken within him about two months ago,” Sonata pointed out. “But he said that he had plans for me since I’m the head mare in his Harem
“Maybe you can answer us this,” Ruby added. “Who else is a part of his harem that he wants you so badly for his so called plans?”
“Well so far there’s me, my two sisters Aria and Adagio who are sirens as well, a former changeling queen known as Chrysalis, two dark unicorns Umbra and Nightmare Rarity, a phoenix named Philomena and two dark alicorns known as Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker.
When Sonata mentioned the last name everyone in the room was silent. The girls were shocked to hear that two of Haydons most respective figures aside from Queen Haydon herself, were part of this incubuses harem.
“Please tell us you’re bluffing,” Crystal asked Sonata.
“I’m serious,” Sonata said with a pout. “She’s actually pretty friendly when you get to know her, she’s not one to let anyone know about her emotions. As for Daybreaker, she was added just a couple weeks ago.”
“He must be pretty good if he can please those two,” Olga replied in shock. “But that still doesn't answer our previous question about why he wanted you specifically.”
“I don’t know his plans, but I only know that involves me and the harem I’m a part of specifically.”
“Then it may spell trouble if we don’t find out what” Catrina replied. Sonata was about to ask what to do next when she heard a loud moan from below her.
“W-what was that?” Sonata asked with a blush as she heard a mare sounding as if she moaned.
“That’s some other ‘herd mates’ that he has in his little dungeon,” Ruby groaned as she stood up from where she was kneeling, and walked over to the back of the room that had a small stone covering the floor. She then moved over the small stone and it revealed a little hole in the center. “Look down here you’ll see why.”
Sonata looks down the hole and her face turns to shock from what she was seeing. Below her was a large stone room where dozens of other girls were gathered, but that wasn’t what shocked the siren. What did was the fact that a majority of the girls were completely naked and were all strapped or clothed in some kind of metal bondage gear and all looked to be semi conscious and shivering from who knows how many times they were fucked.
“Um, what is all this?” Sonata asked her face blushing but at the same time was pale.
“That’s his little torture chamber, where he keeps all of his new additional "treasures." Ruby replied in a dark tone. “Mainly for those who tell him no, or if he just wants to torture them,”
“It’s also why we can’t really say it unless we want to wind up like them,” Crystal replied as a loud moan followed from the below the chamber and Ruby covered the hole back up.
"A lot of these archdemons have had previous lives or owners they were happy with. But Skeletal was pretty high strung on having them all to himself. He's beaten every demon who owned some of these ladies and he's not shy about rubbing it in other demons' faces." Ruby said, trying to ignore their moaning from inside the hole.
"I don't care how powerful you think your master is, Skeletal's pretty much already got his next match already won." Ruby said in a dull tone as she slumped into her seat.
“What do you mean?” Sonata asked.
“If your master wants to win you back, he’ll have to challenge Skeletal to a duel.” Pale replied. “And a lot of the demons that tried always lost to Skeletal Deviant. And when you lose to him, you have your powers stripped away and are banished form the city, never to be heard from again.”
“Eep…” Sonata’s face turns pale from fearing about this.
“Yep, not only that but the people he beats, he has a way of rubbing it in their faces as well by fucking his new mates in front of the loser,” Pale followed up. “So if you’re thinking of escaping with him around, you got another thing coming.”
“Unless he’s smart enough to sneak you out of here, you’re out of luck,” Catrina replied with a dull tone. “He sees someone he likes, he has a sharp memory of who he’s with whoever he meets.”
“Great….” Sonata groaned. “So there isn’t any help unless he finds a way to sneak in and find me?”
“, nExactly,” All the girls said as they sat back down onto the mattress awaiting their ‘master’ and
;Sonata sighed as she looked out of the balcony window plane in the room.
.
'Dusky, wherever you are, please hurry up and save me from this awful place. I don't want to be a part of this pig's disgusting harem, Sonata thought to herself, feeling nervous.
-Back In Equestria: Canterlot Train Station-
“Sigh’ hopefully my son doesn’t get into any trouble,” Velvet said to herself as she was waiting at the train station.
The whistle of the train departing the station was heard as Twilight Velvet was one of the many passengers boarding the train. She breathed in the fresh air and soon as she was about to step on, she feels a hand on her shoulder. She turns around and smiles to find a very familiar pegasus mare that she knew.
She was golden yellow pegasus that was at least 6ft 5inches tall, and had a swirled wine colored mane and tail that looked like cake icing when it moved. She was always wearing glasses as she looked at anyone with her cute and lovable face. Her eyes were magenta and she always wore a beaded necklace around her neck with flower based earrings. She was currently in a green forest sundress but her rather huge II-cup breasts were struggling to to hold in all of her cleavage. She had 3 large flower imprints on the front of her dress that represented her cutie mark and Velvet smiled knowing who she was and was surprised at the small reunion.
“It’s nice to see you again Velvet,” She replied.
“Same to you Posey,” Velvet responded as she smiled and hugged the mare in her arms, their huge breasts squishing against each other. “So what brings you here?”
“I was actually on my way to Canterlot and I just bumped into you by chance,” She admitted.
“Oh really now?” Velvet replied with a sly grin. “You just happened to notice me by chance?”
“Oh alright, I wanted to know if your son’s demonic side has woken up.”
“Oh it’s woken up alright,” Velvet replied with a naughty smile. “And he’s gained quite the hamem when it woke up all in one night.”
“Oh, you raised him so well,” Posey said with a smile. “How’s Dusk by the way?”
“Oh he’s doing fine,” Velvet replied. “I just got through with telling him about some rules for his harem that he needed to follow. If you want to know more about what has happened, I’ll only tell you when we’re alone on the train, but it’s strictly between us understand? I’d rather not have my son chew me out about this again.”
“Oh I understand, so he’s still not fully developed yet.”
“That’s right,” Velvet replied as she stepped into the train as did Posey Shy. “He’s still trying to get used to his abilities as he moves forward and he’s still trying to figure out how to explain to the public about his harem.”
“So he hasn’t told anypony outside his friends yet?” Posey asked as she and Velvet found a row of empty seats in the back of the train car. “I thought he would’ve gone public with his harem by now due to his status as a prince.”
“It’s who he has in his harem why he’s been so nervous about coming out with it,” Velvet replied as she looked out of the window. “And one of them you me and the rest of my crew helped seal away a long time ago is a part of his harem as well.”
“Are you serious?” Posey Shy said in shock. “How did ‘she’ get out?”
“She managed to grab a lock of Celestia’s mane before being sealed away, but my son speed up her little magic plan by accidentally destroying the seal and she was now a part of his harem.” Velvet replied with a giggle. “I wish you were at the castle with me when she found out that Dusk was my son. She looked ready to melt someponies face off.”
“You were always the one to get someponies riled up,” Posey said with a sigh. “I wonder if the blue mare who wandered out in the forest had anything to do with it.”
“Hmm, what are you talking about?” Velvet asked in confusion.
“I saw a mare with a blue ponytail looking dazed and confused as if her eyes were glazed over walking into the forest following a white pony there.”
“White pony?”
“What made it more interesting is that your son Dusk followed after them and jumped through a portal they opened.” Posey added. “What was even stranger was that the portal led to our old home before we moved into the mortal world.”
The sounds of glass shattering followed suit as if everything stood still and Velvet felt as something snapped inside of her.
“He. Went. There?!” She asked slowly making Posey look rather nervous. “Why would he go there of all places?!”
“Well I believe it had something to do with the white pony that took the blue mare with him for some reason,”
“Where did this pony go exactly?” Velvet growled as she looked at Posey with the crazy eyes
“The Everfree forest on the outskirts of Ponyville,” She answered her face showing a little bit of sweat from nervousness.
“Hold onto my things until I get back,” Velvet said with a dark glare as she stood up from the table and walked to the back of the train, leaving Posey Shy behind in the train car and gave off a sigh as she heard the door behind her slam shut shocking some of the passengers.
“This may only spell trouble if she gets involved,” She said to herself as she looked out the window. “I was hoping to tell her about my little girl’s late blooming before this mess happened,” There was suddenly a bright flash where Velvet was, and nopony knew that she left.
-Shadow Heart’s POV-
Shadow Heart was finally able to find a spot to on the tower to climb up to the window and was currently scaling the stone wall as he was attempting to sneak inside. He found himself in a large hallway that was filled with strange array of painting of several demons as well as some torches lighting the way through the room. There were also some doors that led to different rooms but he wasn’t sure where they lead or if anyone was in them.
‘Alright we made it inside.’ Dusk said with a sigh of relief
“Now all we need to do is find where that jackass is holding Sonata.”
’So which way then?’
“Don’t know and I doubt asking around will do us any help.”
‘Yeah and considering that we snuck into a castle to try and find Sonata from the guy who kidnapped her and that we’re still fugitives outside, yeah probably a bright idea buddy.’
“Don’t be so damned melodramatic,” Shadow Heart said in a sarcastic tone. “at least we’re away from the guards.” Whether it was karma or bad luck, suddenly the sound of clattering metal could be heard down the hall as their footsteps could be heard coming closer and closer.
“Crap someones coming, we gotta hide.” Dusk said in shock and Shadow Heart was looking around for anything and he saw a door behind him.
“Guess I’ll try this room here,” He said as he opened to door, quickly closing it behind him. He waited inside the room to hear the footsteps walking away from his direction and he managed to calm down knowing that he wasn’t going to be bothered.
“Okay, that was a close one,” Shadow Heart said with a sigh of relief as he calmed down and backed away from the front door.
‘What room did we walk in?’
“Let me check,” He replied as he turned around. He looked around the room to find several lockers in rows on either side of him, some armor and weapons on a rack that were surprisingly neat. The armor is what confused the both of them since it looked more feminine than masculine and there looked to be a statue of two males on either side. What made the statue unique was the fact that they were nakes with boners sticking out and were leaking lava out of their stone boners.
“Festive,” Shadow Heart said to himself.
“How is that festive?” Dusk said with a groan. “It’s more creepy if you ask me.”
“I guess in tartarus anyone can be creative with what they make, even if it’s perverted” He chuckled to himself. “So it makes ne wonder,” Shadow Heart follows up by walking towards the fountain spewing lava and reaching his hand out.
“Wait what’re you doing?” Dusk asked in confusion
“I’m just seeing if it’s real or not.” Shadow replied as he extended her hand towards the fountain.
“Well I’d rather not risk it since we still need to find Sonata,”
“Oh come on where’s your sense of adventure here?” Shadow Heart replied in a rather cheeky tone. “We may never get the chance to explore this place again,”
“And we may not be able to see Sonata and the girls again, so can you fucking focus so we can-”
Dusk and Shadow Heart was cut off from their little argument when some more footsteps were soon heard. It sounded like it was multiple creatures walking in their direction judging by the footsteps that were heard.
“Oh crap,” Dusk said in shock as he started to panic. “We gotta hide.”
“Don’t have to tell me twice,” Shadow Heart said as he looked for any place to hide. He first runs up to a locker to see if he could fit into it since they were pretty tall for him to hide in, but they each had different locks. “What the fuck? Why do they have locks?”
“Probably to keep someone from stealing their stuff dumbass,” Dusk replied in a dull tone.
“Well I don’t really see a place for us to hide in this damned room.”
“Well we gotta hide somewhere”
“Where? It’s not like I can vanish out of thin air just like that.”
“Wait a minute that’s it, quick hide at that statue over there.”
“Why do I need to-”
“There’s no time to argue!” Dusk shouted, not able to say another word the pair could hear the guards getting closer. Just as the doors opened, an Oni and an aracne appeared walking through the doorway, quickly scanning the room they entered and one of them slumped against the wall. The only girl was wearing full body armor that covered her top and lower leggings while the spider girl only had more of a top since her lower half is more spider like than pony like. The oni girl looked to have more of a bored expression while the spider girl had more of a dull expression when they entered the room.
“Fucking hell, why are patrols so boring?” The oni girl groaned as she started to undo the top clasp of her armor and letting it fall to the floor. Shadow Heart notices the oni girls breasts as she stretches her arms above her head as her rather large breasts bounced free form their metal prison. “Man it feels good to let my girls breathe.”
“You just never care if you strip down in front of anyone do you?” The arachne girl said as she set her spear and shield down onto the weapon rack.
“”It’s not like you have a problem with it,” The only girl added with a bit of sass in her tone. “I’ve seen the way you look at me whenever we're on duty.”
“W-what makes you say that?” The arachne girl blushed and stuttered in response. “I-I never really looked at you like that.”
“Oh please this is Haydon city, the place where all demons can enjoy themselves, it’s not uncommon for anyone being with the same sex here so there’s no need to be shy,” She followed up as she got up from her seat and walked up to the blushing arachnae and pushed her large bosom into the arachnaes bosom. “Not to mention I know that you’re bisexual for both genders anyway, so why try so hard to hide it?”
“Yeah some are accepting, but you know about others that act worse than that, right?”
“Yes there some of those assholes, even your own parents, but screw them,” The oni girl replied as she inched closer to her arachne's blushing face. “I don’t care what they think, and you shouldn’t either. If their not happy with us so what? It shouldn’t stop us from being together.”
“Sometimes I feel like you’re the only one who understands me,” The arachne girl responded. “But there are times where I wish I wasn’t a guard. I always wanted to be a designer.”
“Yeah, I’ve seen you make some dresses when you were by yourself,” The oni girl replied with a smile, but she motions her hands towards her lover’s supple breasts. She lightly gives them a squeeze and the Arachne girl gives a light yelp.
“H-hey, not here, what if we’re caught by the queen?” She said with nervousness in her tone.
“She hasn’t really found out yet, has she?” The oni girl inched closer and closer towards the arachne's face as she undid her top having her supple breasts spring free. The arachne girls didn’t say anything as she began making out with the oni girl and the girls were just fooling around with each other. Meanwhile Shadow Heart was just enjoying the show watching both monster girls kissing and sexing each other.
‘this is fucking hot,’ He said to himself as he watched the show.
‘Glad you’re enjoying this, but now we need a distraction to where we can sneak out of here.’
‘Oh come on, I’m gamed with watching these two to fool around, and why do we need to sneak out of here?’ Shadow Heart whispered, while watching the show still continue. Sadly it wouldn’t last long as his body inadvertently twitched, causing the arachne girl to stop what she was doing.
“Wait stop!” She replied in a panic.
“Oh what now?” The oni girl said in annoyance.
“I just felt something move and it wasn’t from us,” She added looking behind her. “And it came from behind us.”
“Wait what?” She said in confusion. “But there isn’t anyone here.”
“The hairs on my legs stood up,” she added looking over and looking at where Shadow Heart was standing. “And I felt it from that direction.”
‘Uh oh,’ Dusk thought to himself as he realized what was going to happen.
“Oh so you think there’s somehow a shape shifting demon in here?” She added in a saucy tone. “You think someone would be stupid enough to try and sneak into here without paying the price for it?”
Shadow Heart and Dusk continued to watch her circling around the two statues that he was standing near, and in one swift motion, she smashes the first one next to him.
‘Crap, I forgot how strong oni’s can get if they’re pissed off!’
“Well that’s true,”
“Plus these babies would be the last thing they would see before they wake up in the hospital,” The Oni girl followed up while hefting up her breasts with her hands while turning to Shadow Heart who tried his hardest not to move as the oni girl inched closer and closer.
“If you come out now I can just knock you out, but if you intend on just hiding in there, it’s gonna get even more painful for you,” She threatened while cracking her knuckles.
‘Dammit Shadow Heart, she’s fucking serious,’
‘Well what do you expect me to do, dammit?’ Shadow Heart asked in a bit of a panic.
“Okay dumbass, you got five seconds to come out, or this is gonna get painful,” The oni girl replied clenching her fist, raising it with each passing second. “Five...four...three...two...one…”
WWWWHHHHIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
“Huh?” The arachne replied. “Why are the alarms blaring?”
“Guess it’s an intruder or something,” The oni girl replied. The door behind them suddenly flung open to reveal another demoness guard who was fully dressed in armor not caring that both guards were naked at the moment.
“Hey, suit up you two! We’ve got an intruder in the castle,”
“Intruder?” The oni girl replied in confusion. “How could they possibly sneak in?”
‘Maybe because you didn’t have that many guards around when I snuck in?’ Dusk thought to himself.
“Where was the intruder last seen?”
“Over at the southwest courtyard.” The guard replied when the trio heard a loud clanking of boots as another one of the guards was heard as he thundered through the all and stopped outside the doorway.
“Move it, we just sighted the intruder and he’s making a break for it.”
“Yes ma’am!” Both girls replied as they put their armor back on and joined their guards to leave the room. The sounds of footsteps running away and Shadow Heart finally let out a sigh of relief as he deactivated the spell and returned to his fleshy self.
“Whew I never thought she would leave.”
“I’ll say; that arachne would have busted us had we moved any further.”
“How so?”
“Because since she’s part spider, they’re able to sense vibrations through the tiny hairs on their legs and over much of their body so it won’t be long before she and the rest of the guards catch on to us being here.”
“Alright relax we got this, there’s nothing to worry about we’ll be in and out before they notice we were here.”
‘At least that oni girl didn’t go any further,’
“Yeah, we would’ve been dickless if she managed to tear it off.”
“What is wrong with you?”
“Hey, I gotta be me, plus I did enjoy their little show,” Shadow Heart replied with a smile.
‘Can you just check and see if everyone is gone now?’ Dusk said impatiently as Shadow Heart groaned as he walks over toward the door and slowly pushes it open. He peeps out of the open window and looks around to find that there weren’t any guards in his direction.
“There, everyone’s not here, you happy?” Shadow Heart groaned.
‘I’ll be happy when we find Sonata, so let’s hurry this up and get the hell out of here,’ Dusk said and Shadow Heart sighed as he stepped out of the room and wandered around hoping to find their missing siren and leave the city behind.
