Whilst Speedy had gotten away, Private Buckly had not been so fortunate. Hogtied and beaten, he lay on at the foot of Celestia's throne. Nearby, Captain Spitfire and Soarin smirked, knowing they would be rewarded for their efficiency.

Soarin, grand champion of the Gelding Grand Prix in his childhood, proudly served in the Wonderbolts, escaping the fate of so many others. One of the few geldings who held any sort of rank in Equestria. Spirfire was practically born into service. Her mother having had her mammaries amputated, ovaries removed, and labia deadened so that she wouldn't have anything to distract her from becoming the best Wonderbolt there was.

The alicorn glared down at the earth pony with contempt. "SO, you're the one who helped that miscreant infiltrate my inner sanctum and kidnap my niece's daughter. Have you anything to say?"

The stallion made a few gurgled sounds, but his throat had been damaged during the capture.

Celestia sighed. "How am I supposed to interrogate him if he's too damaged to talk?"

Spitfire tittered nervously. "Er, well... I guess we got a little carried away, your majesty."

The alicorn waved her off. "I'm sure the gelding is more to blame."

Soarin, groaned a little. Despite his position, he was still just a castrated tool.

"Escort him to the castle medical ward and had his penis removed," she bid Spitfire with a dismissive flap of her wings.

The captain protested. "Princess. Soarin is an upstanding member of the Wonderbolts. Loyal only to you for the betterment of Equestria. Removing his last shred of stallionhood would be detrimental to his moral."

Celestia blinked at her. "And the other ladies of the Wonderbolts too, I assume."

Spitfire took a step back. "You highness. I cannot experience sexual pleasure in any way shape or form."

"But others can, I assume," Celestia said with a bored expression. "Their parents weren't so extreme with them, I would wager. Make yourself some extra bits whoring out the gelding, aren't you?"

"P-princess..." the pegasus mare stammered.

"Have his phallus removed within the hour or I shall be in need of a new captain for my Wonderbolts."

"A-at once, your majesty," Spitfire bowed before herding Soarin off to enact her wishes.

Once they were alone, Celestia lifted the earth pony up off the floor in her magic and brought him up to eye level. "Interesting that that stallion would trust a low ranking thing such as you. What are you? Good friends? Brothers? some other relation? Pity you can't talk. And I suppose, he might come to rescue you. So full of bravado that one. It's almost like he has a death wish."

She gave his balls a quick zap wit her magic and smiled as he whimpered in pain. "Such a pathetic weakness, don't you think? Don't you wish it just didn't exist?"

She dropped him back upon the ground thought for a minute. "You know. While I want that stallion for myself, you seem rather important to him. I think I know what to do with you until you're well enough to talk."

Some time later the stallion found himself tied to post and forcefed pills while some "Volunteer" mares were lined up in front of him.

"Now, ladies," Celestia smiled sweetly. "You've been chosen to give this stallion his last rites. Each of you will get a chance to be impregnated before he is castrated for crimes against Equestria. All colts produced from this are to be raised as eunuchs for the palace, while all the fillies will be my maids for the rest of their lives. And so on through their future generations. And, don't feel bad for this stallion, his only purpose is breeding after all. He'll enjoy every second of it."

Cadance lay on her side, a happy filly latched onto her teats, suckling happily. Shining armor was in the hospital bed beside her, asleep, as he had been since he arrived. Everyone had felt it was best for them to stay overnight for observation. Though, it was Shining Armor that was causing them all some concern.

His body was fatigued, cut, and beaten, and the doctors all agreed that he appeared to have without sleep for several days. It had taken a while for Speedy to mount a rescue mission. Best they could figure, he had refused to sleep while his daughter was in danger, and only at the sight of Cadance did he know it would be safe to sleep.

His loving wife had not left his side for a moment, insistent on keeping the family together for as long as possible. It was also good to relieve some of that milky pressure she had been feeling. Nearby Dez and Pinkie were just dawwing at the sight of a happy Flurry Heart.

"I can't wait to have a foal of my own," Pinkie bounced happily.

"Well, when Speedy stops looking for that missing private, I'm sure he'll be happy to oblige," Dez chuckled as she reached out a hoof and stroked the filly.

The next moment, the door opened to reveal the rainbow-maned speedster. "Hey, just heard that Shining Armor's Back and... aahh, she's so cute."

Now there were three mares watching the foal. Cadance couldn't help but laugh. "Even the great Rainbow Dash falls before the adorableness of a tiny filly."

"Pfft," Rainbow blew a raspberry. "C'mon, it's like law that everypony has to day at a baby. Haven't seen this munchkin in a while anyway."

"Well let's rectify that," Cadance smiled, gently pulling the filly from her meal and passing her to the pegasus. "Enjoy."

Flurry fussed a bit about being pulled away, but brightened up at the sight of the rainbow mane. Dash smiled and squeezed her to chest. "I am so getting myself one of these from Big Mac."

"Big Mac?" Pinkie cried, a big grin on her face. "Isn't he with Sugarbelle?"

"We're herding," Rainbow informed her. "Just like you two are."

While it was a secret for the sake of protecting the founders, they did let their friends know.

"Would you like to feed her for a bit while I check Shining?" Cadance asked, shifting into a better position to look over her husband.

"Feed her?" Rainbow Dash's mane stood on end. "I-I'm not..."

"She's already full, she likes to suck," the alicorn informed her. "We're all good friends. And you could all use some practice, don't you think?"

"Ooh," Pinkie's mane perked up. "Me next, me next."

Cadance smiled but sighed a sadly. "I can only imagine what Celestia did to the poor griffon wetnurse we provided for her while in hiding."

"Dead."

Everyone gasped. Shining had just spoke.

Cadance threw her hooves about him and wept. "You're awake. It's been so long."

"Flurry," he weakly moaned, "is she..."

"She perfectly fine," Cadance sniffed, stroked him mane, and tenderly touching the bandages that covered the wound where his horn used to be. That was going to be hard to replace. "Oh, I've missed you. What did that horrid monster do to you?"

"Cadance," Shining smiled trying to look at her, but his strength was all gone. He needed to rest, and eat. "She used me."

"What do you mean?"

"She...," he closed his eyes in shame,"collected my sperm. For experimenting. I don't... I don't know..."

"Ssshh," Cadance bid him, kissing his cheek. "Rest now. You and Flurry are back home and safe. You need to get better so you can get back to leading our military. It's been chaos without you. We'll have so much to discuss once you're better."

She held him tight until he drifted off to sleep.
