Stomach Stallion: The Misadventures of Verdant Range
Chapter 21: Kickin' It into High Gear
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe early evening was pleasant as Verdant stepped into the ever-familiar laboratory of High Gear. To the shamrock stallion’s surprise, the good doctor was nowhere to be seen. Instead, behind the console was Pixel Flash.
Meanwhile, in the far corner of the lab, standing next to a ladder that led into an open duct in the ceiling, was an earth pony stallion even shorter than Verdant himself. He had a faded looking purple coat that sharply contrasted his rust brown mane. His dark green eyes matched the color of his jumpsuit.
“Hey there, Pix,” Verdant called out as he drew closer. “Mind telling me what’s going on?”
“Oh, sure thing,” the mare with the tricolored mane said, looking away from the stallion by the ladder. “Gear’s got a cold, so I’ll be running the test for today. Meanwhile, Short Circuit and his sister in the ducts are just doing some minor maintenance. We’ll be all set to go once they wrap things up.”
“Uh, no offense Pix, but are you sure you can pull off this super science stuff?” Verdant’s question was met with a harsh glare from the unicorn.
“First of all, while I’m not a doctor, I’m still an electronics expert with a master’s degree in electrical engineering. I helped build almost all the parts that make up this baby. Heck, not only do I make my own custom game consoles for a hobby, I even made it that a Cougar-CD works one-hundred percent of the time!” Pixel Flash said in a tone that utterly dripped with frustration.
Verdant replied with a low impressed whistle as he slowly backed onto the teleporter.
“Besides,” Pix then said in a more relaxed tone. “Gear wrote up a really precise list of instructions on how to handle this thing.”
“Okay then,” Verdant replied as he looked at the jumpsuit wearing stallion. “So, when will this stuff be ready?”
“Very shortly, sir.” Short Circuit stated, looking to the ceiling opening. “Nickel Wire’s just going over the last few steps. Rest assured, we’re using the best tools we have to make sure this is working as smoothly as possible.”
“What to do? Just grab on to some duct tape! Woo-hoo!” A mare’s voice happily sang out from the ceiling, making Verdant turn pale.
“Nicky, that’s not really something to joke about.” Short Circuit angrily barked. “This guy’s about to be a guinea pig in some crazy science experiment.”
An earth pony mare with a coat and mane that matched Short Circuit’s stuck her head through the opening. “C’mon, Shorty, I’m just kidding around.”
“Can I get a status report, you two?” Pix asked as she leaned against the wall.
“I’m all done in here,” Nicky pulled her head back through the opening before climbing down the ladder. “I’d say you’re all set to fire up your little doodad whenever you want.”
“Fantastic,” Pix replied before pressing a series of buttons on the console. “Ready to go, Verdant?”
“Might as well. I really want that sandwich your girlfriend’s gonna owe me.” Verdant replied as he sat down. “Let’s light this candle.”
“Lighting candle now,” Pix replied as she pushed a lever on the console. The light from the teleporter quickly flooded the room.
Suddenly, a series of sparks erupted from the ceiling opening. The lights dimmed and Verdant vanished from the teleporter.
“Oh, c’mon! What went wrong this time?!” Pixel Flash roared as she slammed her hooves against the console. “I went over every last part of this machine! It should have worked, Faust damn it!”
“Uh, Sis?” Shorty asked as he noticed something off with Nicky’s attire. “Where’s your lucky wrench?”
“What are you talking about? It’s right…” Nicky started to pat her flank, when she noticed something was missing from her back pocket. “...Uh-oh…”
“Oh, fantastic,” Pix grumbled as she brought a hoof to her forehead. “Knowing my luck, Verdant’s probably in one of our stomachs right now.”
“WHAT?!” The twins exclaimed as their faces paled.
***
Verdant blinked as he found himself in a somewhat narrow, fleshy tube that seemed to stretch quite a ways. In the distance, he could hear both the sound of a heart beat and the sound of rushing liquids.
“Of course, I get teleported directly into a pony. Again.” Verdant gave a roll of his eyes. “Just like last week.
Looking over his shoulder, seeing more of the seemingly endless biological tunnel, Verdant shrugged before sitting up and starting to walk through the mystery pony’s body.
Not long after the sound of the rushing water stopped, a loud sigh reached Verdant’s ears.
“URGH… NOTE TO SELF. TRY TO EAT MORE FIBER.” The thunderous voice of the host made Verdant pause at the familiar sound.
“Wait, I’m in High Gear?” The shamrock stallion was rather stunned by the revelation. “What are the WHOA!”
Verdant found himself pitched about as the mare suddenly shifted. The powerful, quake like movements tossed the shrunken stallion about, sending him further along High Gear’s passageway.
Things started to settle as the mammoth mare seemed to begin walking about at a more regular pace. As he started to shake off the dizziness, he saw he was now at the end of the tunnel. What he saw was rather surprising.
At the end of the tunnel were some odd tendrils with a large, spherical organ only a small leap away.
“Wait a sec, I know where I am!” Verdant exclaimed, knowing his shout would be unheard. “That’s gotta be one of her ovaries, meaning I’m in one of Gear’s fallopian tubes!”
At his realization, Verdant quickly spun around and charged down the tube. “If I get past her cervix, I can get outta here!”
A little over a minute later, the minuscule mammal reached the end of the tunnel, arriving in the hornless unicorn’s uterus.
“Alright! At least the exit’s nearbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!” Verdant screeched as the world flipped around and gravity inverted for a moment. The feeling of weightlessness soon ended when everything seemed to crash around him, making Verdant slam hard into the womb’s blood lined walls.
“Dammit, Doctor!” Verdant muttered as he massaged his sore muzzle. “What are you doing out there?”
***
High Gear let out a sigh as she finished relieving her bladder and bowels.
“Urgh… Note to self. Try to eat more fiber,” she said with a rather stuffy nose before she hopped off the toilet. Kicking a foreleg back, the bespectacled mare knocked down the toilet’s lid before flushing.
She soon made her way out of the bathroom, where what was left of her coffee was waiting on the bedroom night stand.
Oh, sweet coffee, she thought to herself as she took a sip of the black brew. You are the only thing I have to comfort me while I deal with this damn cold. At least Pix is filling in for me.
She gave a quiet hum as she looked down at the now empty cup when a disturbing thought crossed her mind.
Oh Faust, please don’t tell me I just drank Verdant down with my coffee… Nah, I doubt that happened.
Setting the cup back on the nightstand, High Gear decided to have a little bit of childish fun by jumping up and landing back-first on the soft bed.
Gear chuckled as she sank into the mattress before picking up a book she had left on the pillow beside her and stretching out.
Nearly twenty minutes passed before the bedroom door opened with Pixel Flash walking inside.
“Hey Pix,” Gear said as she dog eared her book and set it aside. “How’d the test go?”
“Same old, same old,” Pix sighed as she hopped onto the bed beside Gear. “I started up the machine, something went wrong and Verdant vanished. All I know right now is that Verdant’s not in my stomach, nor the stomachs of anypony at the lab. I’ll fire up the long range detector in the morning.”
“Alright. So, what do you want to do now?” Gear asked, causing a grin to stretch across Pix’s face.
“Well, I like seeing you spread out like this.” Pix started to climb on top of Gear, looking the hornless mare in the eye. “And I so rarely get to be on top.”
Pixel Flash leaned down and gave High Gear an open mouthed kiss. Gear started to push her tongue into Pix’s mouth before the violet mare started to pull away.
The mare with the multicolored hair adjusted her body so she was sitting up. She then pulled up Gear’s left leg and hugged it to act as support as she started to grind her nethers against Gears, the two mares slowly beginning to moan in shared ecstasy.
***
Verdant got to his hooves as High Gear’s body settled down. As he rubbed his sore neck, he saw the gate that was her tightly sealed cervix.
“Alright Gear, please let your body be nice and let me out!” The shamrock stallion shouted as he darted towards the fleshy ring. He pushed his legs as hard as he could before he leapt at the tiny hole in the cervix center.
Within moments, his head had become stuck in the minuscule hole, leaving the rest of his body dangling in the womb.
“Oh Faust dammit,” Verdant said weakly before sighing. The tiny pony attempted to pull against the cervix, only to find the flesh refusing to let him move backwards. “Guess the only way to go is forward.”
Verdant tried to climb forward and squeeze his limbs into the tight tunnel. After several long minutes of intense struggle, he was finally allowed to pull himself through the minuscule opening, landing on his rear in High Gear’s vaginal canal.
“Wow, I’m inside High Gear’s vagina,” Verdant observed as he started to walk along the reproductive tract’s walls. “I figured I’d only end up in here if Beans was feeling really adventurous on my birthday.”
The birth canal’s entrance drew closer as Verdant walked along, rather grateful that his movements seemed to go unnoticed by High Gear.
As he made his way closer to the vulva, his ears stood at attention as he heard Gear’s booming voice in the distance, soon joined by Pix’s.
“Hey Pix, you want to try to run the scanner on your girlfriend to figure out where I am?!” Verdant’s exclamation went unheard while he felt the walls start to dampen.
“Uh, I never thought I’d say this, but could you two ladies please not have sex while I’m inside one of you?” Verdant nervously called out before Gear’s body was hit by a powerful quake. Falling to the fleshy floor, he looked ahead to try to see if he could see anything outside of Gear’s nethers.
As a second quake struck, Verdant saw that just beyond Gear’s vulva was another, this one surrounded by violet fur.
“Oh, wonderfUUUUUU!!!” Verdant screeched as High Gear began to bounce her hips, mashing her nethers against Pixel Flash’s.
The moaning of the two created a cacophony of booming explosions as they ground against each other, unable to hear the shrunken stallion’s screams.
One particularly strong thrust of Gear’s hips left Verdant terribly disoriented. Everything was a blur for him as the scientists scissored.
He soon found himself landing face first against a vaginal wall. To try to keep from being bounced around any more, he quickly and desperately clung to the warm, wet wall.
After a few moments, his stomach started to settle, despite the continued movements of the mares. Once his head stopped spinning, it was then he realized something was off. He looked up towards the cervix and saw that some of the mare’s fluid were seeming to fall directly towards his face instead down to the vaginal floor.
Giving a gulp, Verdant looked over his shoulder and through the edges of the mare’s vulva and saw the fur that surrounded the second mare was now a light blue.
“Great, now I’m stuck inside Pix while she’s-” Verdant was interrupted by the sound of the violet mare’s moans growing louder and louder.
Verdant grit his teeth as Pix gave the most powerful scream yet as her walls began to wildly spasm. He tried to tighten his grip on the wall, but his efforts were made futile as a wave of her juices knocked him down.
One final spasm from Pix sent Verdant and her fluids shooting forth, the cannon-like force of her orgasm sending him flying back down High Gear’s love tunnel, skidding along the wet floor before he violently crashed into the bottom of her cervix, falling unconscious as he slid back.
***
Pixel was left huffing from what she believed was one of the most powerful orgasms she had ever had. She gently fell atop High Gear, giving her a deep kiss before she pulled away to catch her breath.
“So, how’d you like that?” Pixel asked as she pushed herself back up, only to be crestfallen at the dissatisfied look on her love’s face.
“Sadly, I’ve had better,” Gear replied before raising an eyebrow. “Did being on top really turn you on that much?”
“Uhh…” Pix’s face soon turned crimson as she stood up and looked away in embarrassment. “Sorry, Gear. I swear, that’s never happened to me before.”
High Gear gave a chuckle at her girlfriend’s words. “I thought only guys who were bad in bed said that.”
Pixel groaned before she looked down at Gear’s soaked entrance. It was then a thought came to her mind and a grin stretched across her face.
“Tell you what,” Pix said as she moved back on the bed and started to lay on her belly. “How about I make this up to you by getting myself something to eat?”
“Wait, don’t you mean get me something to… Oh!” Gear quickly realized what her mate had planned as Pix moved her face in front of her nethers.
“That’s right,” Pix said before licking her lips. “You’re about to get eaten.”
Opening her mouth wide and sticking out her tongue, she gave Gear’s exposed clit a strong lick before moving down and penetrating her vagina with her broad, flat tongue.
***
Verdant groaned as wakefulness started to come back to him. As he shakily tried to stand up, he could see that he was once again inside a mare’s vaginal canal.
“THAT’S RIGHT,” the voice of Pixel Flash echoed thunderously, forcing the shrunken pony to cover his ears and fall back to the wet floor. “YOU’RE ABOUT TO GET EATEN.”
“Wait, what?!” The stallion screamed as he shot to his hooves, only to stumble as the fleshly canal trembled and the roar that was High Gear’s moan boomed all around him.
As Verdant tried to steady himself against the shuddering walls, another loud moan reached his ears. It was then he looked towards the entrance and saw it was being penetrated by a massive tongue.
“Oh, Faust dammit!” Verdant exclaimed as he tried to dash back towards the cervix, only for Pix’s tongue to pick him up and toss him along its slippery surface.
“Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap!” the stallion muttered as he tried to run along the tongue as it pushed forward and massaged High Gear from the inside.
When he reached the tip of the tongue, he springboarded off and hurried along towards the cervix, the spasms and moans reaching a fevered pitch.
“Let me in, let me in!” the shamrock stallion shouted as he reached the cervix, only for a large blast of her fluids to come spewing forth.
The geyser of Gear’s love juices sent poor Verdant hurtling back, where he then skidded across the surface of Pix’s tongue. Before he could get his bearings, he was swallowed down with the pool of marecum, sent tumbling down her esophagus before making a splash in a stomach filled with instant ramen, cheesy corn chips and lemon-lime soda.
“Urgh… Son of a bitch,” Verdant said as he tried to pull himself to his hooves, using a noodle for support. “When I finally get that sandwich, I’m gonna make it a huge one.”
***
High Gear was breathing hard as she started to come down from the high of her orgasm. Looking down between her legs, she saw her beloved swallow as she rose up.
“Hmm… Tasty as always.” Pixel Flash said before licking her lips and crawling up to Gear’s side. “I love you, Gear.” She leaned forward to give the bespectacled mare a kiss, only to be stopped by a hoof.
“I love you too, Pix, but could I get it on the cheek?” High Gear asked as she looked into Pix’s peridot green eyes. “I don’t really want to taste myself on your lips.”
A warm smile graced Pix’s face as she leaned back in. “Of course, dear,” she softly said before planting a kiss on Gear’s cheek. “Well, now that we’ve had some fun, how about I cook us up some dinner? I’m thinkin’... Homemade pizza with alfredo, mushrooms, olives, and extra cheese?”
“Sounds great,” Gear replied before kissing Pixel’s cheek.
As Pixel Flash rose out of bed and sauntered out of the room, Gear’s eyes were locked firmly on the violet unicorn’s flank and every deliberate shake she made as she left the bedroom.
A delighted sigh came from High Gear as she leaned back in the bed. “I love that mare.”
***
Hours later, Verdant gave a tired sigh as he sat in the pile of junk food that filled Pixel Flash’s stomach. The combination gave off a rather fowl aroma as the food digested in the bubbling stomach acids.
“Seriously, what makes this keep happening to me?” the tiny earth pony asked aloud as he looked up to the twitching fleshy walls. “Why is it I keep ending up eaten, or at least inside someone? First there was time with Kuni when I was little, now I’ve ended up in Apple Bloom, Bea, Fluttershy, Beans, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Big McIntosh and Applejack, all in less than a year.”
Bored and hungry, Verdant tore off a chunk of cheese from some of the pizza remnants and took a bite. “Hmm… at least she can make a good pizza. Just wish it wasn’t ABC’d.”
After finishing off his recycled dinner, the shamrock stallion stood up and waded through digestive juices to make it to the unchewed noodles. He laid against some of the strands before wrapping some around him to act as a blanket.
With a yawn, Verdant allowed sleep to consume him, allowing him to get a somewhat pleasant sleep.
Until he was bolted awake by some hot oatmeal landing on top of him.
***
It was a rather bright and sunny morning as High Gear strolled into the apartment’s kitchen, where Beanstalk and Pix were seated, enjoying steaming bowls of oatmeal.
“Hey there, Gear,” Pix said as she spotted the violet haired mare through a mouthful of food before swallowing. “How are you feeling this morning?”
“Much better, Pix,” Gear replied as she took a seat beside Pix, who served up a bowl of oatmeal and set it down in front of her.
“I’m sure you’ll love breakfast this morning,” Pixel Flash stated in between large bites. “Beans made a lot of oatmeal with strawberry jam mixed into it.”
“Thanks, Beans. You’re the best,” Gear said as she picked up a spoon and scooped up a mouthful of oatmeal.
“You’re welcome, Gear,” the statuesque earth pony fidgeted in her chair. “Say, would you mind checking your long range scanner to find out where Verdant is?”
“What’s the matter? Don’t like the idea of him being inside anypony but you?” Pix’s remark was met with a death glare from Beanstalk as she rose up from her seat.
“I’m worried about my boyfriend’s safety.” the angry green mare leaned down so her nose was pressed against Pix’s. “Especially since every time he’s been Gear’s guinea pig, it’s ended up with him in a stomach.”
“Oh, relax, Bean,” Pix said in a relaxed tone as she gently pushed the large mare away. “Every time that’s happened, he’s turned out fine. Heck, that’s what led to you two becoming a couple.”
As Beans started to grumble, High Gear rose from the table. With a spoon sticking out of her mouth, she opened a drawer and pulled out a foreleg mounted device.
Attaching it to her limb and returning to the table, the light blue mare started to adjust the dials on it.
Upon seeing what the long range scan said, her brow rose and she gave a curious hum. She adjusted the focus of the device while Pix leaned over to see what was going on.
When the machine was set to close range, it started to rapidly beep, startling the bespectacled mare and making her spit her spoon out in surprise.
“Sweet Celestia’s fat flank, Verdant’s in Pix’s stomach!” Gear’s exclamation caused Beans and Pix to gasp in surprise.
“Wait, how?!” Pix was dumbstruck by what her lover was saying. “I checked myself before I left the lab.”
“You must have eaten him after you got home,” Beans said as she left the table and headed off to the bathroom.
“But I was super careful when I made the pizza last night!” Pix protested as she got out of her seat. “I went over every last piece to make sure the food was Verdant free, just like you did with breakfast! The only other thing I ate last night was…”
Both Pixel Flash and High Gear’s faces exploded into a bright crimson as they realized how poor Verdant ended up in her stomach.
The two were left speechless as Beans returned with a walkie-talkie and a strange device Pix had never seen before.
“Well, you know what to do,” Beans said as she placed the walkie-talkie in front of Gear.
“Uh, right,” Gear picked up the walkie as the blush on her face started to fade, pressing a button on its side. “Hey, Minute Detail? It’s High Gear and-”
“Lemme guess,” a raspy mare’s tired voice came from the walkie. “Code Green?”
“Yep, Code Green,” Gear answered back as she used a hoof to rub the bridge of her snout. “This time, at my apartment.”
An annoyed sigh came from the walkie’s speaker. “Alright. Gimme about twenty minutes and I’ll be there.”
“Thanks, Mini. I owe you,” Gear said before setting the walkie aside on the table.
“One more, and you owe me a sub,” Minute’s voice replied before Gear trotted over to the second device.
“Alright Pix, now we’ve got to get Verdant out,” Gear said as she picked up the device’s electrical cord and a hose that she attached to the sink faucet.
“Uh, Gear?” Pix asked as Gear picked up a long plastic tube. “What is this thing?”
“My own custom made stomach pump. I made it for just this sort of thing.” Gear’s rather calm reply made Pix’s violet coat turn pale as a sheet.
***
A little over half an hour later, Verdant emerged from the bathroom. His coat was somewhat damp, but he was otherwise perfectly fine.
Walking out into the living room, he saw a greenish-looking Pixel Flash holding her belly at the kitchen table while High Gear was talking to a gray coated unicorn with a short, curly, pale indigo mane that sharply contrasted her magenta eyes, even with them partially hidden by the red frames of her glasses. Upon her flank was the image of a magnifying glass.
“Thanks again, Dr. Minute Detail,” Verdant said as he drew closer to the table, only to be swiftly pulled into a hug by Beanstalk.
“Eh, no big deal,” Mini replied with a wave as she picked up a coffee cup in her violet aura and reduced it to the size of a sugarcube. “At least oatmeal’s less gross to wash off than cud.”
“Hopefully, things will go smoothly next time and I won’t have to buy anypony subs,” Gear said as Mini restored the cup to normal.
“Not counting on it,” Verdant and Mini shot back simultaneously, making Gear groan.
“At any rate, I’d best be getting to work,” Verdant said as Beans let him go. “Those flowers aren’t gonna water themselves.”
“Ditto. My dad’s gonna have me plow the fields while he and Mom plant.” Beanstalk followed Verdant out the door, leaving the three scientists alone.
“So, that must have been the worst threesome ever.” Mini gave a smirk at the daggers Gear and Pix were glaring at her before taking a sip from her cup.
“Dammit, Mini,” Gear sighed as she rose up from the table.
“I figure if you want to make up for what happened, you could give him one heck of a birthday present.” The smug grin on Mini’s face was knocked away by the pillow Pix tossed at her.
