Logic grunted; walking was hard. Though to be fair, it was her fault for leaving the hospital early. Despite the considerable resistance from the hospital staff as well as some well thought out arguments, the intelligence fragment was done with that sterile hell.

They didn’t understand, they couldn’t. Creativity wasn’t going just sit down on her bum and wait for her enemy to recover to full health… well, she might, but it was because she had a diabolical plan set in motion. She wasn’t going to stop, not until…

A terrible pain shot through Logic as she walked, zigzagging about her body and causing her to collapse. “Blast it… Stupid, organic legs. Work! If I had the technology I would replace these intolerable appendages with real limbs, something that did not fail me after a single battle! I should just… aaah!” The fragment grabbed at her chest and heaved heavily, the bodily strain excessive.

“Logic! Logic, are you ok?!” Rarity ran up from behind, having followed her fellow unicorn all the way from the hospital, just as the doctors instructed.

“Yes I am… aah, blast it all.” The fragment cringed from pain, unable to stand.

Rarity sighed. “Come on, let me help you up.” The unicorn went to pick up her friend.

“Your help is unneeded.” Logic stated, charging magic through her body to heal it. “I am fine, let us return to the library.” The fragment got up and brushed herself off.

“I wish you would stay in the hospital Logic. You’re not fully healed!” Rarity pouted at the fragment, worried for her.

“I cannot stop, not until all the fragments are captured.” Logic turned down the path once more. Rarity rolled her eyes and followed suit. Logic sniffed. “Who knows what evil they are getting up to.”

“Bye guys and gals, I’ll be back tomorrow!” Lust said in a singsong kind of way.

The sexual fragment stepped out of the Tail-Lifter, the number one whorehouses in Canterlot (well, it was the only one). Lust took a good look at the building and smiled to herself, there was nowhere better than a whorehouse! Good food, friendly faces, and most importantly: a pony could meet others of similar interests, interests from both sides of the bedroom door.

Lust sighed, thinking about her current life. “Hmm… some might think that having sex for money and then using that money to go to a whorehouse would be a vicious cycle of foolishness. I, however, do not think so. It is a great time, gives me lots of ‘exercise’, and the food there isn’t half bad. In truth, who wouldn’t want my life?!” The fragment laughed, full in her commitment to her style of living. Lust’s laughing died down to a sort of low sigh however. “Still, the fire is certainly dying… I mean it’s just not there anymore. What am I doing wrong?! Why isn’t sex doing it for me?!” The fragment roared out in annoyance.

Walking some ways from her whorehouse, Lust found herself in an in-city park, one of many. Sitting on a bench the fragment did some sightseeing. Ponies of all kinds were going about their business; it was cute to watch. Lust’s eyes drifted upward towards the sky overlooking Canterlot. The white, fluffy clouds looked amazing. I wonder how amazing the sex would be on a cloud? Lust chuckled to herself at that thought. The fragments eyes wandered further until they rested on Canterlot palace. Lust’s eyes widened.

“That’s it!” The fragment shouted as she leapt off her sitting spot. “Familiarity breeds contempt! I need new caverns to explore, new mountains to traverse! Sex with all these common ponies had made sex with them a bore! The only thing I can do know is do it with different beings!” The fragment smiled deviously. “And what better way to start than with a god?”

Celestia smiled at her sister; content they had this time to converse before Luna left for her diplomacy mission. “Well Luna I must admit; that’s a pretty odd story.”

The darker Alicorn laughed. “Yes it was, but luckily Fading and I were able to contain it. Maker only knows what would happened otherwise, eh Fading?” The Night Princess turned her head and rested her gaze on her Guard Captain.

Captain Fading Moonlight nodded, his ash grey fur and uncommon feathered Lunar wings ruffling a bit. “Indeed M’lady.”

Luna frowned. “You’ll have to forgive him sister, he’s a stick in the mud… hasn’t even taken me anywhere nice.” The Alicorn pouted a little, her Captain grunted ambiguously.

Celestia laughed. “Oh I see… You and your Captain Luna? Oh I don’t know… think of the scandal dear sister!” Luna shot her sister a playful look, disproving Celestia’s assumption. Celestia shook her head. “I was only kidding Luna. But in all due seriousness, are you really thinking of getting into a relationship?”

Luna looked at the table somberly. “I know not sister. With Cadence’s marriage only months ago I feel as if… well I just think I would like somepony to cuddle up with in bed. You know what I’m talking about, a big, strong stallion… or maybe a kind, soft mare. Oh I can never decide; both sexes are equally appealing to me!”

Celestia rolled her eyes. “I am quite aware, sister, of your… preferences. Creation be thanked I own find one sex attractive. Though, history has seen how that turned out…”

A small bell rang through the air. “Your tea is done your majesties!” Dusty Broom stated with pride.

The maid at the door stepped aside to reveal a small cart with an assortment of teas and goodies. The maid mare at the back of the cart nodded, pushing the mobile holding tray to the side of the Princess’s table.

“Excellent! Refreshments at last!” Luna smiled as she took up a cup with magic and prepared to serve herself to lovely tea. Suddenly a yellow magical aura overtook Luna’s dark one and the teacup was being pulled away from Luna. “What is the meaning of this?!” Luna stated angrily.

The maid backed away a little in fear. “I umm… I’m sorry your ladyship, but this tea is for Princess Celestia. It has some special ingredients that she ordered from far away and…”

“Oh yes that’s right!” Princess Celestia was almost jumping up and down like a foal. “These must be the imported herbs I ordered from Antiva! She is quite right sister, that cup is mine.” The Solar Princess snatched up the cup with her magic and took a big sip.

“Umm… if there is nothing else your Majesties, I will take my leave.” The maid said weakly as she made sure Celestia drink most of her tea, the poor thing was little distraught from her magical incident with Luna.

“Oh, oh of course!” Celestia said, setting her cup down. “Thank you, my little pony.” The maid nodded and smiled to her Princesses and headed out the door, giving a seductive nod to Dusty Broom before leaving and closing the door behind her.

Out in the hallway, the royal guard Steadfast leaned up against a pillar awaiting the return of a certain maid. The maid that had just left her Princesses turned to corner and walked past him, the stallion followed her.

“So please explain how serving the Princess that overpowered tranquilizing agent helps you again.” Steadfast asked in a dull manner.

“All in good time Steadfast.” Creativity responded. “For now I have to set up, things might move quicker than I’d like so I’ll have to be prepared.” The two arrived at a four-way intersection. Creativity turned to her partner in crime. “Just keep doing what you’re doing and everything will go accordingly.”

Steadfast nodded and turned down his respective hallway. The stallion had no clue what his master was planning but he knew one thing:

Things were about to get hectic.

The library door swung open to reveal Logic and Rarity. The two unicorns walked inside and looked around, everything was surprisingly clean. The two heard the patter of footsteps from upstairs and soon the draconic form of Spike appeared at the stairs.

“Logic? Rarity? You’re back already? I thought Logic was supposed to be in the hospital for another week.” The dragon was happy for the return of his friend but couldn’t keep back his confusion.

“She’s…” Rarity started.

“It is…” Logic corrected her.

“Oh shut up Logic, that’s becoming annoying.” Rarity huffed a bit at Logic’s increasing feelings that the fragment in question was merely a thing. “What I was going to say is Logic’s being stubborn and left the hospital early. She’s being quite adamant that finding the fragments is more important than her wellbeing.”

“Because it is.” Logic interjected. “We must find them so we can rebuild Twilight Sparkle and end this madness! There is only so much I can do before the rest of Twilight’s life begins to become intertwined with this insanity.” Logic inhaled deeply. “I will not wait for her family, Spike notwithstanding, to be involved.”

“Would that be so bad?” Spike asked. “I mean with Shining Armor’s guards we’d be able to hunt down all the fragments like that!”

“No!” Logic yelled. “We do not need them. I can fix this, I know I can!” Logic huffed a little as her mother’s personality bled through her own. “Not only that but I fear doing so would only push Creativity to more dramatic measures to ensure victory.” Logic was relieved when the other two present took her last point with consideration; that was good because she’d need more than Twilight’s pride to convince them to steer clear of Twilight’s family.

Instantly, Logic changed the subject... sort of. “Actually, speaking of Twilight’s family. Spike! What are you doing here?! You should have stayed at one of Twilight’s friend’s homes, not reside here alone! What if something happened? What if Lust, Anger, or some other nasty thing attacked you?! Spike, I am disappointed.” The fragment gave the dragon a good staring, enough to make Fluttershy jealous.

Spike laughed as he scratched the back of his neck. “Oh come on Logic, I can take care of myself! I’m a dragon! I’m brave, fearless, unshaking in the face of all dangers…!”

A lime green flashed illuminated the room, causing Spike to jump and run to Logic and hide behind her front legs. “Truly your bravery is what legends are made of…” Mocked Logic.

The flash dissipated to show Curiosity, this time wearing… well… it’s not as bad as last time. “Logic!” The fragment yelled. “I have important news, I think we can end this soon!” Curiosity smiled at her (older? It’s hard to tell) sister.

Logic stared at her sister with a cocked eyebrow, unsure what to say. “First things first Curiosity.” Logic said neutrally. “Why are you wearing a promiscuous guard armor for stallions, as well as a… well nevermind the last part.” Logic’s eyes shifted away from Curiosity’s undercarriage and it’s new fake addition.

“What? Oh!” Curiosity blushed a bit, she had hoped she’d be done with all this by the time she saw Logic again. “Well you see sister, I’m on Lesbian Mare Fetishes Volume Four: Roleplaying!”

Logic cocked her eyebrow even further. “I know not what that is and I would very much like to keep it that way. What news do you have Curiosity?”

“Oh, right! Come here!” Curiosity gestured with a hoof and Logic followed, getting up close to her sister. The two whispered to each other so as not to allow Spike or Rarity to hear, for whatever reason.

Logic listened intently to her sister’s report. “So what is it? … Creativity’s done what?! … That may cause some complications… What else? … Are you certain? … Lust is little more than a nuisance… That is true… Have you found Anger? … Unfortunate… No, no, it is all right… Yes, we will leave right away.” Logic turned to the other unicorn and the dragon next to her. “We are leaving soon. Rarity, find Pinkamena and Fluttershy, we will need them available as soon as possible.”

Rarity blinked at Logic. “Wait, why? Logic, what’s going on?”

“Curiosity has found Lust, she is in Canterlot. Her foolery has caused her to seek her insatiable need for sexual thrills with the Princess… We will stop her before that happens.”

At the very mention of danger to her Princess, Rarity gave a little salute and rushed out of the door to find their friends, stopping for a second to look back at Logic.

Spike watched the unicorn leave and turned to Logic. “So, you two have a falling out?”

“What are you saying Spike?” Logic asked, clearly more than just a little annoyed.

“You and her seemed a little… on edge with each other, like you had a fight earlier.” Spike cocked an eyebrow at his fragment friend, seemingly worried.

“Why do you care?” Logic said, becoming defensive. “In fact, should you not be jumping for joy? If she is no longer infatuated with me she will be open to your own advances.”

“Yeah but… I think I'd rather she be happy.” Spike looked to the floor. Logic cocked an eyebrow, unsure of what the dragon meant. “I mean that… I’d rather she be happy with someone else than unhappy with me…It’s one of the reasons I’ve been quiet for as long as I have.”

Logic’s eyes widened. “That is… that is a very mature attitude to hold Spike.” Logic nodded to the dragon, impressed. “I am glad you have been as adult as you have these past few months.”

Spike smiled. “Well, I had a great role model.”

Logic nodded, her way of smiling. Looking towards the door, Logic took in a deep breath and exhaled. “So, shall we find the others and take yet another step closer to this mishap’s conclusion?”

Spike’s smile became a confident smirk. “Yeah, let’s go! We’ll put it right! I bet we’re all ready for this to end.”

The two exited the library to look for the others and get to Canterlot quicker. Logic began to close the door but stopped and looked at the library interior, a somber expression on her face. “Yes, this will all end, soon enough.” With that Logic shut the door and trotted after Spike.

Lust walked daintily through the Canterlot gardens. Unlike her sister Creativity months ago, Lust was not as reserved of being found out. If one of the Princesses found her it’d be less work for her and if Shining Armor found, well… She longed to see her brother/uncle so very much.

“I should ask him how he and Cadence get in the mood! Ooo, I bet it’s really kinky too!” The fragment grinned widely, wanting ever so much to have a nice chat with Shining (it was one of the only nonsexual things she thought about).

Turning a corner, Lust looked up at the Grand Hall of the palace. “So that’s where Celestia is, if that guard was to be believed. I can’t wait to see her!” Skipping merrily, Lust made her way to her next conquest.

The castle gates finally saw the arrival of Logic, Spike, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie (advanced magical transportation is so useful). Running up to the main guard post, a mare in the normal golden Solar Guard Armor looked at the approaching mares, and dragon, with some confusion. She saluted despite it. “Hello M’lady Sparkle, when did you leave the castle?”

Logic stopped dead in her tracks and stared at the guard. “When did I leave? Wait, have I already been through here before?!”

The guard nodded, still saluting. “Yes M’lady. Although you had hot pink eyes the last time I saw you… are you trying new colored contacts? I mean I remember seeing you with glasses one time so I…”

“Umm… Yes!” Logic interjected. “I have grown tired of the use of glasses and am trying out contacts. I like my eyes but seeing the same thing in the mirror over and over again is boring so I am trying different colors.” Logic tried to smile, but Logic being Logic, she failed miserably at it.

“I see; that makes sense.” The guard dropped her salute. “Well, Princess Celestia is in the Grand Hall and your brother is around somewhere. I suppose you’ll want to go and meet up with them.” The mare made the appropriate gestures to signal the locations of the mentioned ponies.

“Yes, yes that is exactly what I shall do. Thank for your assistance.” Logic nodded to the guard and she and the others took off into the castle.

“Oh, ok M’lady. Have a nice stay at… and she’s gone. Hmm… maybe I should get some of those contacts…” The guard pondered changing her eye color.

Inside the castle, Lust made her way through the halls and found herself at the door to the grand throne room. Smiling to herself, Lust charged her magic and flung the door open. Stepping inside she instantly spied Celestia at her throne, unguarded. Lust couldn’t believe her luck, alone with the Princess! This was going to be great. Celestia didn’t notice the mare until she was only a few meters away.

“Oh, Twilight, hello my faithful student.” Celestia took her eyes off her paperwork and smiled at her apprentice. “What brings you here? I did not call for you and you didn't send me any forewarning.”

Lust bowed respectively. “Hello Princess, it’s great to see you! As for why I’m here? Well, let’s just say that I want you and I to do some extra studies!” There was more than just a little sexual undertone in Lust's voice.

The seductive tone of Twilight’s voice did not escape the Princess. “I see, well Twilight as it just so happens I don’t swing that way. Besides, even I did, I would not do it with my most faithful student… not now anyway. You see, sex loses its shine after several centuries. As such, I take a couple century long sexual hiatuses every now and again. So, though I am flattered Twilight, I must politely decline your offer.” The Princesses voice was its usual pedagogical, monotone self and Celestia didn’t even show any change in emotion.

“What?! Sex, lose its shine?! Impossible!” Lust shook her head. “You just haven’t met that pony that ignites your fire, something I plan to remedy.” Lust teleported in a flash of pink and right into Celestia’s lap. Before the regal mare could object, Lust kissed her full on the mouth. Celestia’s eyes widened at the passionate kiss and her student’s unusual straightforwardness. Pure shock was the only reason the kiss lasted for a full minute before Celestia broke free of the trance and teleported herself, reappearing in the middle of the hall.

“Twilight! What is wrong with you?! I have no problems with what sexual path you take, as long as it's legal, but I already said I was not interested!” Celestia’s voice had a bit of concern, but mostly shock, in it.

Lust chuckled. “I know your just playing hard to get, I mean honestly. Sex, lose its luster? Never! I just have to help you reawaken those desires.” Lust teleported a few feet in front of Celestia and started making advances towards her teacher.

“Now Twilight, listen carefully… I…I…” Celestia heart began to beat faster; she was frightened. Well, not frightened for herself, but for Twilight. Something had to be wrong for her to act like this and the Princess was scared at what could cause an upstanding, prudent mare like Twilight to become like this. Lust made more steps towards Celestia. Celestia took a step back, I have to restrain her, before she tries any… before… she… what the?! Celestia tried to take another step backwards, but couldn’t. In fact, she found that her entire body was becoming numb and failing her. “What’s happening?!” The Alicorn gasped as her legs failed her and she slumped to the ground.

Lust laughed. “I would say it’s the power of love intertwining us together, but I know better.” Lust was now standing over Celestia, a seductive smirk on her face. “In fact I honestly don’t know why you’ve suddenly become limp, but I’m certainly going to make the best of it.” Lust moved her face close to Celestia’s and gave another massive kiss, slipping into her mouth to give her seductive tongue.

High in the rafters of the throne room Creativity lay lazily like one of your French girls. The fragment looked at the scene below with some mild amusement and disgust. “Huh, that wasn’t suppose to happen… I thought Anger would be the one to bust through that door. Oh well, I guess this works just the same and I can definitely continue with it. To be creative one must adapt just as much as plan.” Creativity turned her head to the stallion next to her, rolling her eyes at the sight. “For the love of… Steadfast, could you at least try to act like a stallion? I’m embarrassed to be seen with you.”

Steadfast was shaking fiercely, all four of his leg clinging to his rafter. The stallion’s widened eyes viewed the ground with an intense fear. “Oh shut it Creativity.” The stallion looked down on the scene before him, his interest dampening his fear for a moment. “So, a tranquilizing poison that stays dormant in the blood stream until the victim’s heart rate jumps dramatically… I’ve never heard of a poison like that.”

“And you won’t.” Creativity stated proudly. “It is a concoction of my own design, just for this occasion. After all Steadfast, I’m called Creativity for a reason.” The fragment chuckled to herself, but soon came disappointed. “Speaking of names, how about you live up to yours and be steadfast in the face of heights!”

“Oh it’s easy for you to say!” Steadfast barked out. “If you fall you can teleport yourself to safety! I get to go ker-splat on the ground!”

Creativity’s eyes rolled. “Steadfast, please. You’re my greatest companion. I’d catch you with my magic before you fell. You needn’t worry Steadfast, as long as I’m here you’ll not come to harm.” The fragment smiled warmly at the guard, greatly reassuring him. “Alright then, if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go make some popcorn so I’ll have something to chew on during this fiasco! Be back in a jiffy!” Creativity disappeared in a flash of yellow, leaving Steadfast with the widest eyes and mouth that were physically possible for any pony to have.

Down below, Lust had broken off her kiss with Celestia and had begun with enticing foreplay. The mare licked about Celestia’s neck and placed light kisses in random spots on her. Celestia moaned in defiance at this unwanted encounter. Lust stopped her playing and brought her head up.

“What’s wrong Celestia? Why aren’t you having as good a time as I am?” Lust’s voice was oddly full of sincerity; her eyes had lost their hot pink hue and now were a colder pink.

“I…I do not want this! Stop this Twilight, NOW!” Celestia panted heavily and her voice was strained, the poison had reached her larynx and was making speech difficult.

“You don’t want this? What do you mean by…Oh of course!” Lust’s face lit up with realization. “I mean it’s so obvious now! You’re a god! You’ve lived for centuries and had sex with who knows how many ponies. Simple foreplay isn’t gonna cut it! Right, let’s skip to the main event!” With that Lust made her way downward.

Half way across the castle Logic and the others were running as fast as their legs could carry them. Turning a corner, they made their way to the throne room where they knew Lust was having her way with the Princess.

Fluttershy looked towards Logic. “Umm… Logic, what are we going to do once we reach Princess Celestia and Lust?” Fluttershy had sped up in order to be close enough to hear Logic’s response.

“I am unsure. Most likely we will have to fight her, she is nothing if not persistent.” Logic was already calculating her plans for dealing with Lust.

“F-F-Fight her?!” Fluttershy cowered away towards the pack of the pack.

Logic looked back and sighed. This whole ordeal had been a trial for Fluttershy. The timid pony whose only problem was social awkwardness had been twisted into having a full out fear of other sentient beings. The cracks had formed during the changeling invasion and the realization that any pony could be an evil, love-sucking bug in disguise. Twilight’s fragmentation into not one but several hostile entities had shattered the shield and left the Fluttershy fearful of anything that wasn’t an animal. Turning back to the task had hand, Logic’s eyes widened as she skidded to a stop, the others slamming into her.

“Oww! Hey Lodge, what was that for?!” Pinkie Pie shook some minor daze out and looked at the fragment.

“W-We must find another way.” The fragment responded.

Rarity walked up to Logic. “Well why darling?” She inquired. Logic’s stare had them all cocking their heads to look down the hall. Not to their surprise, in a three-way intersection, stood two armored up stallions.

“So… do you consider it a demotion?” Shining Armor cocked an eyebrow, his purple helmet in his hoof.

“In title at least.” Responded Duncan. “Going from General to Guard Commander just sounds like I’m being put down.”

Shining shrugged. “I don’t think so. I mean it’s General of the Eastern Border to Guard Commander of all Equestria… it sounds a bit more impressive when you say the whole thing.”

“Perhaps… They could have called the title Guard General, but Celestia has always given her things weird names.” Duncan scoffed. “I just wish the Princess would let me fix up all the East Region before giving me the promotion, our defenses there are still crap since the Changeling invasion. But it is what it is.”

Logic stared at Shining Armor and Duncan, their conversation just understandable from the other's current position. “We have got to go around, they cannot spot us!”

Rarity shook her head. “We can’t go around Logic, we won’t make it time if we do. We’ll just have to get past Shining Armor and… umm, well that other stallion. Who is he anyway?”

Fluttershy suddenly jumped to attention. “What?! Rarity, how can you not know him?! He’s General Quickstep, Hero of the battle of Eastern Stable! He held off a raiding Griffon mercenary band all by himself until reinforcements arrived! He’s got tons of medals and accommodations! He’s the youngest pony to ever be promoted to the rank of General and his favorite color is red and…!” The usually shy and timid pegasus, now currently shoving her face into Rarity’s with a fangirl like fervor, caught herself when she saw the looks given to her. She took some steps back and looked at the ground. “I-I mean… that’s what I’ve heard… from some young colts one day… yeah…”

Logic shook the confusion from her head. “Right, moving on.” Logic looked around and tried to think of something to do. Suddenly her eyes met a nearby window. “That is it!” The fragment dashed to the window, opened it, and charged her horn while scanning about with her eyes.

“What’s it Lodge?” Pinkie Pie tilted her head in a confused manner. “What are you planning to do…”

An explosion and a green flash ripped through the air as Logic unleashed a magic bolt unto the royal gardens. The blast shook the entire structure and ponies ten leagues away could feel it. Shining and Duncan looked at each other and, military instincts taking hold, rushed towards the blast zone. Logic cringed a bit, she had to divert magic from her painkiller spells in order to cast that blast and the extreme pain she felt returned. Breathing deeply and reactivating the spells, Logic closed the window and waked up to the others, their faces showing a loss for words.

Rarity gulped down the lump in her throat. “Logic, did you just blow up the Canterlot Gardens in order for us to continue on?”

Logic’s eyes rolled. “I made sure no ponies…” Fluttershy squeaked a bit. “Or animals were in the vicinity. Besides, it worked and, let us face it, that area of the gardens needed work anyhow. Come on! We need to stop Lust! Who knows how far she has gone.”

The others, though still a little dazed at Logic’s denotation of the royal gardens, nodded and joined Logic in running down the hall to the throne room.

Curiosity was lying on her butt, propped up by a Canterlot building's side. The fragment’s eyes shift about the book she read, eagerly taking in the information it provided. Finally, her eyes rolled over the last few words and her brain processed it posthaste. Shutting the book with a slight smack, Curiosity sighed in relief.

“Finally! I’m done! With that I have completed all the stuff that was related with lust and love.” The fragment smiled to herself. “Now that that’s done, I can go on to stuff that won’t make Logic be angry at me. Ooo I wonder what I should study next!” Curiosity couldn’t contain her excitement at starting a new subject and she clapped her hooves in glee.

Her enjoyment was cut short, however, as a faint sound echoed out. The fragment’s ears perked and moved in an adorable way as she listened to what she made out to be magical blasts.

Curiosity getting the best of the fragment, as if it could ever lose, the mare decided to climb up higher to get a better look. Looking around, Curiosity spotted a flag post and proceeded to infuse her hooves with magic. When she was ready, Curiosity grasped the flagpole and climbed up. Reaching the top in less than ten seconds, the mare hopped onto a little ball on the top and hung on with magic. Looking out over the expanse of Canterlot, Curiosity could see the origins of the sounds clear as day.

“Hmmm… Magical blasts coming from the castle, what’s that about?” Curiosity easily saw the pattern of blasts: first, dozens of tiny blasts would rip through the air towards one direction and explode. Then, one giant red blast would go off. The number of tinier blasts decreased each time a red blast ripped through the air.

Curiosity became worried about this. “Better tell Logic about this, she’ll want to know.” Curiosity’s horn flared and she teleported to the nearest building, then the next, and the next.

The fragment prayed she would reach her sister in time to deliver her news.

Celestia tried to move, she really did. But despite all her effort, the poison running its course through her veins would not give her an inch. The Goddess of the Sun could feel each time her faithful student kissed or licked the Alicorn’s body as she made her way down to Celestia’s nether region. Lust made her way to her target and smiled as she pulled Celestia’s limp legs apart to reveal the Princess’s sex.

“Well, you’re already wet Princess. Good, it’ll make my job all the more easier. This is goanna be fun, I just know it!” Lust smiled widely as she bent down into Celestia’s nether. The sexual fragment inhaled the musky smell of the mare sex juices dripping out of her Princess’s flower. “Well Princess, I'm ready to give you the time of your life!” Lust opened her mouth wide and stuck her tongue. The fragment could barely hold in her excited as her tongue prepared to drag itself across its target. Lust wasn’t even an inch from tasting her Goddess. I love you so much Celestia… The fragment thought for a moment.

The throne room door burst open and Logic came rushing in, horn flaring with magic. Without even really aiming, Logic fired at Lust. The fragment of intercourse didn’t even have time to understand what was going on as the green blast blew her away and across the room. Lust landed with a hearty thud.

“Oh come on, REALLY?! I was just getting to the best part!” Lust shouted as she picked herself up.

“I care not.” Logic said dully. “I will not allow you to deflowe- umm… I will not let have intercourse with Princess Celestia!” Logic flared her horn in a threatening manner.

Up in the rafters, Creativity reappeared in a flash of yellow, holding a bag of popcorn. “So, what I miss?” She asked Steadfast as she peered down into the standoff. “Whoa… This was unexpected.”

“Come on Logic! Let me have her! She needs me!” Lust pleaded vainly with her sister.

“No. I will end your evil here and now! Prepare to be captured Lust!” Logic charged up her horn and readied to hit Lust with a blast so powerful she’d not wake up for awhile. As you’ve come to expect, dear reader, her plans did not go as smoothly as they had been envisioned.

A window suddenly exploded into a flash of red, sending a shockwave that knocked all those present in the room down to the floor (Creativity and Steadfast had to hold on for dear life). Stepping in from the shattered window was the fragment Anger, a real sight for sore eyes. She was thin and bony from a lack of nutrition trying to find her way back to Canterlot. Her body was beaten and bruised from having to traverse the dangerous mountain passes and then having an all out battle royal with the Castle Guards in order to get to the throne room. The fragment’s blood red eyes were almost completely frenzied. Left out in the wilderness with nothing to calm her or keep in civility, Anger had returned to being mostly a base fragment with only her original emotion to guide her. That emotion gave her issue with Celestia, and her maddened nature believed only violence would scratch that itch.

Logic got up onto her hooves at the sight of her sister. “A-Anger?! What has happened to you?! What are you…” A red aura wrapped around Logic’s neck as she was thrown into one of the throne room’s pillars.

Anger glared over to Celestia and teleported to her. Unlike most unicorn teleportations, which were elegant and masterful, Anger’s was brutish and disorganized, her transportation aura sparking about crazily. Reappearing next to Celestia, the mare looked like she was about to kill her right there. “I’m going to kill you! Right here in your own palace bitch! Unfortunately this place is too crowded for me to make you suffer every last second of your life. How about we step outside?!” Anger grabbed onto Celestia and teleported out of the throne room.

“CELESTIA!” Lust was screaming at the top of her lungs as she watched her Princess be taken away.

“Enough Lust, calm yourself.” Logic limped over to her sister, clearly hurt.

“Calm myself? CALM MYSELF!?” Lust was about to hit Logic straight in the face. “HOW CAN I CALM MYSELF WHEN THAT CRAZY BITCH STOLE CELESTIA?! WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!” Lust’s eyes had faded to a colder shade of pink as she yelled.

Logic grunted. “So, there is love in there and not just blind sex.” Logic met Lust’s eyes with her own in an unheeding glare. Lust took a step back from it. “In that case, let us test it out.” Logic’s face was in a calmed frenzy. Behind the darker neutral face of the fragment one could tell, a madness had taken place for the sole purpose of protecting its mother’s world. “So... truce? Shall we stop slapping each other so we can smash our foes’ head in? What do you say Lust, or Love, or who ever the hell has control right now. Shall we march off and rip through Anger’s hatred to find our prize at the end? I am certainly ready to end this, and I am sure you are too, yes Creativity?”

Everyone but Logic looked up and gasped to see Creativity lazing about on her rafter; Steadfast had been teleported away moments before. Creativity smiled. “I don’t know, s’not really my style. What do I get out of it?”

“A step closer to your insanity.” Logic replied.

“Well I certainly do enjoy my stuff…” Creativity smiled widely. “Why not?” Creativity hopped up and looked to her temporary allies. “See you outside girls… and Spike.” The fragment teleported away in a yellow flash.

Logic turned to Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Spike. “You four go and find Shining Armor, fill him in on what has happened then come find us.”

Spike shook his head. “But I thought you wanted to keep Twilight’s family out of this.”

Logic snorted. “That… is not longer an option. Anger has Celestia and will certainly try and kill her. Is it possible? Do not know, but we certainly will not let her try. I no longer care about secrecy; it will be useless if Celestia is killed. Now, GO!”

The five jumped a bit at Logic’s command and rushed out of the room, shouting frantically for Shining Armor. Logic turned to Lust, who had closed the length between her sister and herself. “So Lust, what do you say? Will you help?”

Lust looked to the floor, contemplating. “I don’t…”

“Come on Lust, you have to help.” Logic placed a hoof on her sister’s shoulder. “Think of Celestia, of our mother. Let me ask you, are you simply lust, who has its way with others and leaves without a second thought, or is the fragment of love somewhere in there? I would like to think so.”

“You think you know me Logic?” Lust asked.

“I know that love and lust are two sides of the same coin and that, while intercourse is all well and good, a true love is worth a thousand bed partners.” Logic looked at her sister with her usual somber expression.

Lust looked away. “God I hate you… always making sense. Where are they?”

“The gardens.” Logic stated plainly. “Let us go.”

“This all seems to be happening so fast... seems like yesterday we born into this world with only our base feelings to guide us... now there are all sorts of things directing us and we we do things we'd have never done at the beginning.” Lust admitted.

“As is the way of change.” Logic stated as she turned around and looked at the throne room. “It can come softly as a whisper and seed its way into one’s mind. Or it can ravage like a wildfire, and in doing so, can consume those it was meant for or be a grand salvation.”

“So, who is this change for and what will happen?” Lust asked.

Logic looked to the window Anger had burst through. “Let us hope it for us, and that we can contain the fire that comes.” Logic looked to her sister and the two nodded to each other.

Magic flared in their horns and the throne room erupted into a flash of pink and green flashes. When the light died down, the two identical mares were gone.
