Fly to the Stars and Back (Redone)
Chapter 5: Chapter 5: We're Going Upstairs
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe mane six were eating and talking about a few things in the kitchen when they suddenly heard. “Dust, get up to the cockpit. Blitz needs you.”
They turn to each other shocked, except for Twilight, Applejack, and Fluttershy. “Dust, as in Lightning Dust?” Rainbow asked. “The same Lightning Dust who convinced me to make a tornado at the academy?”
“I’m coming.” Dust calls as she runs past them and into the cockpit.
“I think that is her,” Twilight says.
“Want to follow her to this cockpit?” Applejack asks.
Everypony immediately got up and followed to which they found Dust sitting in one of the seats while Minerva and Blitz stay in their own and the CMC were at the window. “What’s going on?” Applejack asks.
“Power is holding steady, leaving the atmosphere,” Blitz says concentrating on piloting too much to notice.
“All systems green, no problems detected,” Minerva says.
Blitz nods. “And hit the thrusters.” He said before a sudden force pushes everypony back a bit as the ship flies out of the cloud cover and straight into space before calming down. “Seals?”
“All locked down. No problems detected.” Minerva says.
“Alright, leaving the stratosphere now,” Blitz says as everything started to float. “Minerva, engage artificial gravity,” Blitz instructs.
Minerva smiles as everypony tried to find something to hang on to before they fell down as a hissing sound came out. “Done. Destination set, going to the sun.”
“Right, leaving planet’s gravity. Ok girls welcome to outerspa…” Blitz stops seeing the mane six. “What are all of you doing here?”
“I let them in so they could eat and talk,” Minerva says.
Blitz frowns a little. “We’re going to have a big talk about this.” He then sighs and looks back to the mares. “Welcome to space.” He said before leaning back in his seat again.
“Somepony pinch me. I have to be dreaming this.” Rainbow says.
Pinkie holds up a clamp.
Blitz watches as everypony else joins the fillies. “Ow!”
“If you look to the left, you will see the moon,” Blitz says.
Soon everypony looks over and sees Luna’s moon. “She stayed on that, how horrible.” Rarity said.
“Please find a seat and buckle in, after we pass it we will be picking up speed,” Blitz says. “Dust let’s see how much you have been paying attention in your lessons, man the radar station,” Blitz says.
Dust gives a salute. “Ay, ay, sir.” She said heading to the radar seat.
Rainbow looks a bit surprised. “How did you…?”
“Cross recruited me in my hometown less than three weeks ago.” Dust says.
Rainbow looks to her. “Why go with him?”
“I had nothing left and besides he saved me from being raped.” Dust says. “Ok, this turns it on and this tells the distance.” She started saying out loud.
Blitz smiles and messes with a few controls on his floating screen in front of him. He moves a few out of the way before changing a few numbers and then moves everything back. “Huh, now the distance is on the objects. I didn’t press anything.” Dust said.
“I did from here. It’s an advanced control. Is everypony buckled in?” Blitz asks.
Everypony then sits down in the seats at the front as the ship moves past the moon.
“Minerva, check the restraints for all them,” Blitz says.
Minerva smiles as she checks the restraints. “Please put your tray tables and seats in their upright lock positions. We are now taking off.” She jokes.
“Minerva, secure your body, we just bought that custom model,” Blitz says.
Minerva nods and sits down in a seat next to him before buckling up and then puts her head down as her lights went off. Then a holographic version of her appeared next to him on the other side. “Ready.”
“Switching from cruise to drive,” Blitz says before the mares felt a lot of force applied to them before it eased off. “There we go, now we are really going.” He said as two circles appeared in front of him he places his hooves on it and starts to move it around. The ship then turns and faces the sun as the windows slowly tinted.
“Ok, approaching destination, projected course, and reducing speed,” Blitz says.
The mares and fillies watch as he slowly approached the sun and then slowly turns to the side of it. “How long have you been doing this?” Twilight asks.
“Intergalactic or Equestrian time? Oh, by the way, girls, welcome to my world.” Blitz says.
Twilight looks to him. “Equestrian.”
“Twelve years. I have been a part of a crew of a starship. Seven as the captain of Darkstar One. Now if you excuse me, I got one last thing to do with Bloody Mary. Minerva, take over and point the airlock to the sun.” Blitz says getting out of his seat.
“Roger that,” Minerva says as Blitz flew past the mares because of the low gravity.
The mares watch as he leaves before Twilight unbuckles her straps and flies out of her seat before trying to follow him.
“Rarity?” Rainbow asks.
Rarity looks to her. “Yes?”
“Am I looking at the sun?” Rainbow asks.
Rarity nods. “Yes and I’m shocked as well.”
Blitz sighs as he places the urn in the airlock and closes it behind him. “Blitz?”
“Yes, Twilight?” Blitz asks sealing the airlock.
Twilight looks to the urn as he messes with the controls. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, the nightmare of eight years is finally over,” Blitz says hitting the eject button.
They both watch as the urn flies toward the sun. “And what about us?”
“You’re evaluating everything that you know?” Blitz asks.
Twilight looks to him. “It’s just, all this.” She said pointing to the ship and space outside. “What’s that going to mean for you?”
“I’m a restless soul, I couldn’t stop exploring even if I tried,” Blitz says.
Twilight looks back at him. “So…you’re going to leave?”
“Duty requires I do as well, but I’m starting to think of Equestria as home and that I asked for a base and not money,” Blitz says.
Twilight floats a bit closer. “And us?”
“You want to come with, learn all about other species, planets, and everything the galaxy has to offer?” Blitz asks.
Twilight looks back to the cockpit door. “I…don’t know. I don’t want to leave my friends.”
“They can come too if they want, after all, they now know. Besides, you think you can go back to living as if this didn’t happen?” Blitz asks.
Twilight looks back at him as the urn finally reaches the sun and burns in the heated sphere. “No, not after this either.” She said before kissing him.
Blitz stiffens at first but starts to relax. After Twilight stops and leans back, Blitz smirk before saying. “You know, now that I think about it, you are closer to the sun than Celestia has ever been.”
Twilight smiles and looks to the sun. “I guess I am.” She said and then became silent for a bit. “I want to go with you as long as you’re with me.”
“Ok Twi,” Blitz says letting her lean into him.
Twilight sighs and leans her head into his neck. “I love you, Blitz.”
“I love you too Twilight, but I wish I could just get my head on straight with these relationships,” Blitz says.
Twilight sniffs his scent. “We’ll work it. All of us. Just that when we leave, I want all of these problems we got on Equestria to be done before we go. No more worry, no more secrets.”
“Ok, but you have got to know you will be with a Mandalorian and all that entails,” Blitz says petting her mane.
Twilight nods. “Anything to be with you. I love you Blitz and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“Ok. Minerva put us on a course back to Equine 2. Make the trip back six hours, Equestrian time.” Blitz says.
Twilight looks to him. “Six hours? It took less to get here.”
“Yeah, gonna show you, girls, a few things before we get back,” Blitz says.
Twilight nods. “Okay, but if we’re two, who’s one?”
“There is a planet closer to the sun than yours. You can see it now, but it is uninhabited.” Blitz says.
Twilight raised an eyebrow as the planet passes by. “So that’s what that thing was.”
“Yes, it might be uninhabited, but it is rich with resources. The only reason it isn’t being mined is that your system is not reached spacefaring era yet and you will need it when you reach that stage. So the ruling governments of the universe are protecting you.” Blitz says.
Twilight sighs. “Let’s get back. We have a lot to explain to princess Celestia and Luna. But before that…” She said before kissing him again.
After breaking the kiss, Blitz held her close. “Twi, you can’t tell them. In fact, none of you can tell any other creature on Equestria.” Blitz says.
Twilight looks to him. “Then won’t the princesses question why we might be gone for so long?”
“Luna is suspicious and she might have an idea, but the other two are oblivious to it. It’s better this way. This way, they can sleep without worrying if an alien species will invade the planet.” Blitz says.
Twilight nods. “I guess that’s a good reason. You think everypony else will come?”
“Oh, maybe imagine Rarity’s reaction to learning about other species out there,” Blitz says.
Twilight giggled. “She probably wants to learn every single fashion there is.”
“Exactly. So what do you think of low gravity?” Blitz asks.
Twilight smirks before making him let go and then turning upside down as she keeps smirking. “What do you think?”
“I think you have just started to get a grip on it.” He said as he pushes her and she starts spinning uncontrollably.
Twilight brings up her magic and forces him to get close. Unfortunately, she caught him as she was upside down and they got stuck. Blitz blushes as he held on her flank while Twilight blushes as she held onto his flank. They quickly separated and pushed each other apart. “Sorry!” She yelled before hitting the wall and making her back hurt slightly.
Blitz, being used to this, lands on his hind hooves and pushes forwards lightly, getting next to her. “There is barely any gravity on this setting and the littlest force can send you across the room uncontrollably,” Blitz says grabbing her and stopping her.
Twilight quickly grabs onto him as they continue to float. “Blitz?”
“Yeah?” Blitz asks.
Twilight hugs him tighter. “Do you love Applejack?”
“I would be lying if I said no,” Blitz says.
Twilight looks to him. “Do you want to be with her?”
“That is part of the emotions I wanted to sort out for myself, but I think I do,” Blitz says.
Twilight sighs. “Let’s talk to her alone, together.”
“She wants me to talk to Fluttershy about this and I’m still afraid of vampires so she wants me to do more sessions with her to get over the fear,” Blitz says.
Twilight nods. “You want to talk to her alone or with us?”
“Not sure, but I’ll want to talk to Fluttershy about my fear alone,” Blitz says.
Twilight sighs. “Okay, we’ll leave you alone for your fear. But with us, talk about it when you have it with us.”
“If you want to then please convince her. She is almost as stubborn as I am.” Blitz says.
Twilight smiles. “Yeah, she’s so stubborn that she wanted to take on the whole farm on her own.”
“If she was a unicorn and had some good magic powers and that might have been possible,” Blitz says.
Twilight giggled. “Yeah, that’s what I did once she allowed it.”
“Physically one can do so much. That is why half of my success is a result of either my planning or my ability to adapt to most situations. The other is my physical conditioning.” Blitz says.
Twilight laughs as she looks him over. “Yeah, I can see that.” She said looking down.
“And you saw my ability to plan and my calculations with that Ranchor,” Blitz says.
Twilight nods. “I know that I kept seeing it whenever an explosion happened. But, it was always you who helped us all and changed what we originally thought about ourselves. Besides, you kinda gave me a love life.” She said kissing his cheek.
“You could kinda say the same with me,” Blitz says.
Twilight kisses him until she pulls back a little. “Just shut up and kiss me.” She said before kissing him again. This time, instead of freezing up, Blitz actually kisses her back a little to her surprise. After a while, she finally pulls away. “You didn’t hesitate.”
“I have a good teacher,” Blitz says.
Twilight nuzzles his nose a little. “And there’s still more to come.”
“We will see how I do. It is time for us to go see the rest of the girls.” Blitz says.
Twilight smiles and moves aside. “Lead the way.”
“Just hang on,” Blitz says pushing off a bit. “You know, I used to envy all creatures with wings,” Blitz says.
Twilight looks back to her own. “Envy me?”
“When I was a foal. I always looked up at the sky and wanted to soar through them.” Blitz says.
Twilight hugs him as they float through the hallway. “Well, you beat them in that. You’ve gotten farther than ever.”
“Yeah and this is beyond what any pegasus could do. No resistance at all.” Blitz says beginning to spin, slowing down. “This is how I was trained in my acrobatics. If you can do the maneuvers in this you will learn how to never overshoot. After that, you master training enough in gravity, you learn how to not put too little power. If Rainbow trained in this, you should notice a drastic change in her flying.” Blitz says.
Twilight looks ahead and sees the door. “Think they would like this life?”
“Maybe not the Mandalorian life, but life in space maybe,” Blitz says.
Twilight nods. “Yeah, maybe she would like to just travel and race almost everypony in space.”
“She would love the Darkstar One. This baby was built originally for speed.” Blitz says stopping them.
Twilight hits him lightly. “Show off.”
“No, just experienced. You should have seen me for the first three months, I could barely leave a room.” Blitz says.
Twilight giggles as he opens the door. “I would love a picture of that.” She said before seeing the state of the room and sees everypony flying around, cheering all the while. “Is this too many ponies though?”
“We may need to convert a few storage rooms,” Blitz says pushing in and grabbing Applebloom.
Twilight smiles as she turns to him. “Want to tell them or shall I?”
“We will in the living room,” Blitz says, Applebloom now attached herself to him.
Applebloom looks to him. “Tell us what?”
“In the living room, cuz. Anypony want help getting there?” Blitz asks.
Rainbow pointed to the fillies just flailing uselessly in the air. Twilight then realized something. “Spike knows and we forgot him!”
“Oh, you mean our little stowaway in storage room three?” Minerva asks.
They look to the hologram pony. “Spike snuck on?” Twilight asks.
Minerva just smiles as another door opens and a drone comes in with Spike on Minerva’s projection. Blitz whistles. “Terran, bring the one in storage room three to the living room,” Blitz calls as he lets Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle grab onto him.
Terran growls as Minerva messes with a screen in front of her and turns the gravity on to a regular planet’s gravity. Terran growls before running off and into a hallway. After a while they hear a scream, some things crashing and then cheering. “Catch of the day, Spike the dragon,” Scootaloo announced as they came back in with Spike tied up.
“Told all of you, he was really smart,” Blitz says. “Ok Minerva, turn on the holoprojector,” Blitz says.
Minerva starts messing with her screen as everypony gathers around and Twilight glares at Spike.
“To start off, I got to say none of you can tell any other creatures about this.” Blitz starts.
“Whoa, this is a lot to take in.” Rainbow Dash says.
“I can’t believe you were abducted by space pirates Blitzy.” Applejack says.
Blitz nods. “Yeah, that’s what happened and took a while before I even saw this place again. I came by once, but never had the courage to come down.”
“Kind of hard to do after all this,” Pinkie says.
Blitz sighs. “Yeah, when showed everything you can’t back away from it.”
“I can vouch for that.” Dust says already learning most of what was told.
They look to her. “If you were given the chance, would you go back?”
“No.” Dust says.
“It’s not as if you can’t live down there,” Blitz says.
Dust nods. “Yeah, not anymore.”
“After learning everything, it makes you reevaluate everything. Like for example, all of you have now been closed to the sun than Celestia ever has.” Blitz says.
Rainbow grins. “Yeah, that was awesome.”
“And we haven’t even put Darkstar One under any strain. It’s like Rainbow walking in slow motion.” Blitz says.
Rainbow glares at him. “Hey! I take offense to that.”
“It was a comparison. The Darkstar One was originally made for speed.” Blitz says.
Rainbow then grins. “How fast?”
“This baby could go from the sun to the outermost planet in less than an hour Equestrian time. The average spaceship does that in four.” Blitz says.
Rainbow grins. “Cool. Is there anything faster?”
“You want to find out?” Blitz asks.
Rainbow nods. “Heck yeah!”
“Then you just might,” Blitz says.
“I have to go with you, don’t I?” Rainbow asks.
“Yeah, but I have decided to make my home here and speaking of which, we have arrived,” Blitz says. They all look to the outside and see they are landing on the edge of the Everfree forest. “Just remember, you don’t have to come if you don’t want too and there will be many adventures as we will keep coming back here.”
Rarity looks to everypony before looking back at him. “We’ll think about it.” She said before heading for the door.
“The offer is always open,” Blitz says putting on his clothes over the bandages.
Everypony started to leave as they get used to the natural atmosphere and gravity again. After they left, only Twilight and Applejack remained. Lightning Dust went back to training to give them room.
Blitz sighs as he watches them. “Something wrong?”
“Applejack,” Twilight says pushing her forward.
Applejack presses her lips before looking to Blitz. “Blitz, do you love her?”
“Yes, like I love you,” Blitz says.
Applejack keeps watching him till she turns around and makes Twilight turn around with her and they started to whisper. Blitz watches as they keep whispering until they both turn back and moves over to him before they both kiss his cheeks.
“Um…well thanks, both of you,” Blitz says hugging them both and kisses both on the cheek.
They smile and hug him back. “Don’t forget me!” Minerva calls, landing on his back, now back in her body.
“Easy Minerva, still injured,” Blitz says.
Minerva nuzzles him. “I know, I’m staying on the points that won’t injure you. Now, where’s my kiss?”
“Can’t turn my head one eighty degrees,” Blitz says.
Minerva giggles before giving a kiss on the side of his head. “There, feeling better?”
“Yeah,” Blitz says as Twilight wraps her wings around them.
Applejack nuzzles them. “I can’t believe this is happening.”
“Oh that is right, I still have to go see Fluttershy for the session on vampires,” Blitz says.
Twilight looks up at him. “You don’t have any problems with us do you?”
“No, I think this will cover it,” Blitz says smiling.
The mares then push him to the door. “Then get to Fluttershy, you still need your session.” Applejack said.
“See you later tonight Jackie,” Blitz says.
Applejack and the other mares wave at him until he leaves and closes the door behind him. “How big is that bed of his?” Applejack asks Minerva.
“Big enough for six ponies to fit comfortably, but he has yet to clean up,” Minerva says
Twilight and Applejack smile to each other. “Spike! You got work!” They called before rushing off to his room with Minerva following.
Spike was distracted by the holoprojector as he was browsing different planet gem types. He was then grabbed from his tail with magic as Twilight pulled him away.
Blitz sighs as he sat on the couch in Fluttershy’s house. “So…where do you want to start?” Fluttershy asks.
“I am unsure, where do you think is best?” Blitz asks noticing she went full Flutterbat.
Fluttershy smiles and moves over onto his couch. “How about the physical part first and then work on mental because it’ll be easier.”
“I…If you say so,” Blitz says.
Fluttershy gets real close and pins him down. “Don’t fight.” She hisses, getting close.
“Y…yes ma’am.” He says meekly.
Fluttershy hisses at him before going to his neck. “Looks good.” She said before licking it.
“F…Fluttershy, please stop that feels weird. A strangely good kind of weird.” Blitz says.
Fluttershy smirks and starts to suckle at his neck. “Beautiful.” She said quietly.
“Um…Fluttershy, what are you up to?” Blitz asks.
Fluttershy stops licking his neck and gets up and pulls on him to get up. “Come on.” She said pulling him out of the couch.
“F…Fluttershy, are you feeling ok?” Blitz asks.
Fluttershy nods and pulls him up the stairs. “Great.” She said as they enter her room and she throws him on the bed before she jumps up and continues to do what she did downstairs.
“Um…Fluttershy, what is the condition of the moon out of curiosity?” Blitz asks.
Fluttershy stops what she’s doing and looks at him. “It’s just a normal moon. But you were able to keep control and be calm despite me being this close to you and your neck like you fear.”
“Just please tell me it’s not red and…no wait, on second thought, don’t…” Blitz stopped seeing Fluttershy looking out the window and going eerily quiet.
Blitz looks to the window and sees the moonlight red and he looks to Fluttershy who was licking her lips. “I will let you decide, what do you want and it can’t be you leaving.”
“Um…Fluttershy, how many times have you seen a red moon since you became a vampire pony?” Blitz asks.
Fluttershy sighs as she starts to rub herself against him. “Ten actually.”
“And you know you are in heat right now?” Blitz asks.
Fluttershy nods as lifts herself up slightly and shows the spot where she was on him wet. “Why do you think I’m letting you decide?”
“I…I…I…” Blitz says freezing up for the first time to Fluttershy. For the first time, Fluttershy had a pony that could be just as shy as her. She just found it adorable.
Fluttershy places a hoof on his cheek. “Blitz?”
“Y…Y…Yes?” He asks.
Fluttershy leans down a bit. “Do you want this?”
“I…I…I…” Blitz could only say that.
Fluttershy sighs and leans onto his chest and just lays there. “You’re lucky I went into this before. Otherwise, you would be halfway into the bed by now.”
Blitz, hearing this, freezes up.
Fluttershy nuzzles his chest. “Can you hold me?”
Blitz says nothing and just wraps his hooves around her.
Fluttershy smiles and nuzzles more into his chest. “You can do this Blitz. You faced Mary and handling more than one mare. You can do this.”
“I…I…I…” Blitz started again as Fluttershy read confusion from him.
Fluttershy looks up slightly at him. “Blitz, are you still afraid of her?”
“I…I…I never stopped.” Blitz says.
Fluttershy gets close to his face before kissing his nose. “She’s gone. You sent her away. The only thing that’s meaningful to your life now is your mares. You need to help them and they would help you.”
“I…I, wait Fluttershy. Do you have any feelings you’re not telling?” Blitz asks.
Fluttershy wraps her hooves around his neck. “I’m trying not to. It would get in the way of this.”
“Fluttershy, I can see it in your eyes and your body language. Sorry, I acquired this ability from several years of being a Mandalorian.” Blitz says.
Fluttershy nuzzles him. “Can I be with you? You can treat me as a friend, a lover or even a slave and I would follow everything you want.”
“If you want that, you must talk to Twilight and Applejack,” Blitz says stroking her mane.
Fluttershy sniffs his scent. “But if you had the choice, what type of me would you want?”
“There is no type, you are you no matter if you look bat-like or pegasus.” Blitz then starts chuckling. “Oh boy, if you had told me that I would be in a romantic relationship with a vampire pony I would have most likely died of laughter,” Blitz says.
Fluttershy giggles a bit. “I meant, friend, lover or slave. Which do you want if you had the choice?”
“I hate slavery Fluttershy,” Blitz says.
Fluttershy sighs and moves over to her nightstand and opens the drawer to a few toys before pulling out a dog collar and closing the drawer. “Do you want to try consensually?” She asks, showing the collar.
“Oh, you like roleplaying,” Blitz says getting the signs.
Fluttershy nods. “And I like being abused and treated as a slave. I don’t know why, but I do. I’m the therapist of the town and even Canterlot and even psychologist themselves come to me for help and advice, but I can’t figure out my own problems.”
“Oh, you are a very naughty mare,” Blitz says.
Fluttershy smiles. “So…if they agree, want to?” She asks showing the collar again.
“We can try I…well, never have….” Blitz start.
Fluttershy sighs. “You had never been in something like this before, have you?” Blitz nods. “Oh, don’t worry, I will teach you,” Fluttershy says smirking enough to show her fangs. “We can try a bit if you want?” She asks giving him the collar.
Blitz full face blush as he held the collar as it amused Fluttershy so much.
Fluttershy giggles. “Just try it. If you hate it, then remove it.” She said pulling her mane back and showing her neck. “The vampire’s vulnerable point.”
“If you really wan…oh, that is not a good idea. I told Jackie I would be back soon and if I take too long she will come looking and that would hurt your chances badly.” Blitz says in realization.
Fluttershy sighs and takes the collar back. “Okay, you best go to her now.” She said moving off of him.
“We will try for this next time,” Blitz says, his blush still massive and it didn’t help when Fluttershy smacks his flank.
Blitz yelps and Fluttershy laughs. “Fluttershy.” He whines to her.
Fluttershy only licks her lips. “Sexy stallion, you better get going.”
“Y…yes ma’am.” Blitz ran off leaving Fluttershy laughing a lot.
Blitz quickly closes the door behind him as quickly as he could. “Jackie? Please tell me Fluttershy didn’t bite anypony on the red moon?”
“Um…no, I don’t think so,” Applejack asks.
Blitz sighs in relief. “Good, now then…where are you guys?” He asks looking around.
“Now I see why you like this thing, it’s a lot of fun.” Applejack says appearing with a gauntlet on her hoof.
Blitz glares at the weapon. “Put that down and place it back in the shelf. What are you doing in my room anyway?”
“Cleaning mostly,” Twilight says coming out of the bathroom.
Blitz looks around the room and finds it mostly clean. “You girls were cleaning my room?”
“Yeah, mostly throwing clothes into the laundry and please let me keep using the shower,” Twilight begged.
Blitz sighs. “Alright, just remember that it makes you a puffball.”
“Oh she knows, Minerva already got a picture of it.” Applejack says.
Blitz glares at Minerva. “Don’t make me get into your A.I. core and delete it.”
“Can’t, already framed the picture.” She says.
Blitz grabs the weapon Applejack had and pulls it off. “Don’t make me use this.”
“Applejack, shouldn’t you take him to your house?” She asks before Applejack’s eyes widen and drags him away as the gauntlet fell onto the floor.
Twilight smiles as she watches them leave. “So…got any other photos?”
“You know how you wanted a picture of Blitz when he first trying to learn how to move in low gravity?” Minerva asks.
Twilight nods. “Oh yeah. Considering our experience with it.”
“I managed to find some footage of it from the old Mandalorian archives,” Minerva says.
Blitz sighs as he walks back with Applejack. “Hey, Jackie?”
“Yes, Blitzy?” Applejack asks.
Blitz stops. “Fluttershy asked something.”
“She finally admitted her feelings?” Applejack asks.
“Yep,” Blitz says.
“Came onto you because of the red moon,” Applejack asks.
“Yep,” Blitz says.
“Discovered that side of her?” Applejack asks.
“Yep,” Blitz says.
“Did you do it with her?” Applejack asks.
“Nope,” Blitz says.
Applejack looks back at him. “What?”
“I…um…a virgin,” Blitz says.
Applejack keeps looking at him. “So what did Fluttershy ask?”
“Um…to…um…” Blitz tries to say.
Applejack sighs. “She can join.” Applejack says.
Blitz looks to her before sighing. “She has a slave fetish.” He said quickly.
“I know.” Applejack says, the farm coming into view.
Blitz watches her. “You knew?”
“Yep, the rest of us mares knew about it.” Applejack says.
Blitz looks a bit surprised. “So…you won’t mind if I did take her like that?”
“Well, better than she going berserk and grabbing a random pony.” She says opening the door.
Blitz sighs. “Alright, I’ll talk to her about it.”
“Ok and come on, it has been a long day. I need rest and you’re joining me.” Applejack says.
Blitz looks to her. “You mean…?”
“I need my favorite pillow.” She said dragging him up the steps.
Blitz looks a bit nervous. “O…okay.”
When Applejack got to her room, she tossed him onto the bed before closing the door and climbing onto it. “Feel better after we learned the secret?” Applejack asks.
Blitz sighs as he wraps his hooves around her. “Yeah, now I feel like there is nothing to hide and eating me alive anymore.”
“Good love.” Applejack says kissing him.
Blitz breaths in sharply before calming down and kisses her back. After a while, they separated and Applejack sighs and rests her head on his chest. “About Fluttershy, you can have her. We saw only stallions can help her.”
“Um…well, she likes both right?” He whispers.
Applejack smiles. “Yes, but when she enters her heat on the red moon, it’s only stallions.”
“So, good night Jackie,” Blitz says.
“You know, it is a little weird. I’m with my cuz.” Applejack says.
Blitz sighs and closes his eyes as Applejack follows him. “Don’t think about that. Just enjoy.” Applejack just tightens her grip around him and falls asleep with him.
Blitz looks to Fluttershy in her bat form as held the collar in his hooves. “Okay, after this, you will need to do what I say and when I say it, right?” He asks.
“Yes and I’m so looking forward to it,” Fluttershy says.
“You are going have to guide me through almost everything of this process as this is my first time,” Blitz says his blush coming back.
Fluttershy moves her mane and shows her neck. “After you place it on, you have started treating me almost like an animal. Like I’m just here to please you and nothing else.”
“O…ok,” Blitz says using his magic to move the collar around her neck.
Fluttershy smiles as she feels the collar before looking to him and shows a leash in her hoof. “Hook it on and take me out.”
Blitz hesitantly takes the leash before slowly hooking it on her. Fluttershy lightly smiles as he now tugs the leash to make sure it’s tight. “O…kay. Come on.” He pulls at the leash, but she didn’t budge.
Fluttershy sighs. “You have to do it forcefully.”
“F…Fluttershy you don’t want that, I can literally snap necks when I try,” Blitz says concerned for her.
Fluttershy shakes her head. “Just enough to get the point across. A hard enough tug to either get me down or pulled along a little. Not dragging me all the way.”
“Ok, let me know if it’s too much, ok?” Blitz asks.
Fluttershy nods. “The safe word for all of this is teddy bears. With an s at the end.”
“Ok,” Blitz says pulling again the force this time was a little unexpected for Fluttershy as it forces her to walk into Blitz. “Let’s go.” He said trying to hold his rough voice at her.
Fluttershy whimpers as he starts to walk along with her following slightly behind.
They take a stroll through the Everfree forest so nopony would see them. As they walked, Blitz kept looking back to Fluttershy as the moonlight allowed him to see her. “Beautiful.” She heard him say.
“Thanks, handsome,” Fluttershy says in response, getting closer to him. “You would still have to show me around like this one day.”
“Ah no, if this was out in public, I don’t think I could do it,” Blitz says.
Even though the darkness, Fluttershy could see his full face blush and she smiled before rubbing up against him and wrapping a wing around his torso. “You could probably do it one day, maybe not now, but one day.” She said nuzzling against his chest.
“I…I don’t think so. It would send too many wrong messages to colts and fillies and well…” Blitz starts trailing off.
Fluttershy nods. “I know, maybe somewhere where there aren’t many ponies and definitely with the foals around. Maybe around Canterlot at night. There are only guards and a few Canterlot ponies moving about.”
“B…but, I ah…um Fluttershy, do you think a foal of your’s would inherit this?” Blitz asks trying to change the subject.
Fluttershy looks herself over. “Maybe, why, are you going to hate them?”
“N…no, just wondering. I…I don’t want them picked on.” Blitz says.
Fluttershy giggles. “If they do, they would have to deal with an angry vampire mother.”
“Or a father who likes to use fire and explosives,” Blitz says.
Fluttershy smiles. “Thank you for putting up with me.”
“I should be saying that to you,” Blitz says letting go of the leash and wrapping a hoof around her.
Fluttershy leans into him. “Then you’re welcome.”
“Come on, let’s get back and sorry about that wall again. Is the repair job holding?” Blitz asks.
Fluttershy nods. “Yeah, it’s holding up to the weather.”
“I hope I did a good enough job with it,” Blitz says.
“You know, you are so different from when you don your armor,” Fluttershy says.
“You think?” Blitz asks embarrassed.
Fluttershy smiles. “Yeah, it’s quite cute. You show your softer side, though it shines through your armor sometimes.” Fluttershy says getting on his back and riding him and kissing the back of his neck.
Blitz blushes and picks up the leash before heading back. “T…thanks.”
“I’m glad to be able to share you, my stallion.” She says wrapping her wings around his chest.
Blitz really blushes at this point. “Yeah, hard to believe I can do that.”
“Oh, trust me, you will just love it later,” Fluttershy whispers into his ear.
Blitz laughs nervously. “M…M…Maybe.”
“Oh, we will make sure of it,” Fluttershy says lightly nibbling his ear.
Blitz tries to hold himself together as he continues to walk. “F…F…Fluttershy, don’t do that.”
“This is just a taste,” Fluttershy says nuzzling him.
Blitz stayed blushing. “Let’s head back. Did you like this night?”
“Yes. I did.” Fluttershy says.
Blitz smiles as they reach her house. “Good.” He said placing her down at the door. “I’ll see you later.”
Fluttershy smiles. “I’m coming along, just so you know. And…” She brings up the leash. “You can keep doing this.”
“Ok, I will try another night,” Blitz says as Fluttershy hugs him.
Fluttershy sighs as she hugs before she pulls back. “Want me to keep wearing this or only when we need it?” She asks, fiddling with the collar.
“Only when needed, I think you would look cuter with a necklace,” Blitz says.
Fluttershy blushes a bit. “Um…thank you.”
Blitz smiles before sighing and gives her a kiss before softly letting go. “See you.” He said giving a small wave before leaving.
Fluttershy smiles as she waved back. “Bye.” She said softly. Fluttershy then closes the door and lays on the couch as Angel comes out of the kitchen with a carrot. “That was amazing.” She said to herself, not realizing that Angel was there.
It was the end of the month as Blitz sat at the table in the Darkstar One. “Ok, got everything I need to go to the Griffon Kingdom,” Blitz says double checking the gear.
All four mares sat at the table as they watch him packing up his bag. “You sure you got everything?” Twilight asks.
“Yeah, this will be a good learning experience for Dust. There are a few small-time bounties still in Equestria and Minerva and Terran will be helping her.” Blitz says.
Applejack raises an eyebrow. “You want to have Dust get those guys? Ya, sure she’s ready?”
“Minerva will pick the targets and she will have Terran watching her back as she hunts. Terran is far more dangerous than anything those small-time thieves or thugs can handle if she needs help.” Blitz says.
Fluttershy smiles as she fiddles with her leash. “I’ll try to make sure that her soon to be many injuries get healed.”
“Thanks. It is from those injuries and experience that she will start to grow.” Blitz says looking to Minerva.
Minerva shrugs. “I’ll start her off easy, but I’ll ramp up the difficulty when she least expects it.”
“Good, she will need that since she has decided to become a Mandalorian,” Blitz says.
Minerva nods. “Yes, she is usually a bit hot-headed, but she will soon get the message beat into her.”
“Also keep increasing the speed of those moving targets and the obstacle courses gradually, but not enough for her to notice,” Blitz says.
“Gotcha,” Minerva says.
“Also start looking for ponies, griffons, Zebras, and Minotaurs to hire to staff the base,” Blitz says.
Minerva smiles. “Anyone in particular?”
“Ask those who know about our secret and see if they have any suggestions,” Blitz says.
“Got it, I will go see Rarity, Dash, and Pinkie later,” Minerva says as Blitz puts on his blue helmet. “I’ll be back in a few months keep an eye on things for me,” Blitz says walking down the ramp.
Twilight smiles. “Hope you studied.”
“You know I did.” Blitz calls before disappearing.
Applejack huffs. “So…want to make some calls?”
“Oh, somepony is mad he didn’t kiss her goodbye,” Fluttershy says as she twirls her leash around.
Days later, Blitz had boarded a ship after buying a ticket to travel to the Griffon Kingdom by boat. He looks around the ship and sees some ponies, but a lot of griffons on the boat, some with low-level bounties. “Child’s play.”
Blitz leaned against the railing as he watches the sunset until a pony comes up beside him and puked over the side. Looking to the side, Blitz saw a familiar pony. “It’s been a few months Daring.” Blitz greets.
Daring’s ears perked up hearing her name before looking to Blitz. She looked for a few moments as the armor looked familiar. After a few moments, her eyes widened. “Cross?” She asks.
“Glad you recognize me,” Blitz says.
Daring looks over his armor. “Wha…what are you doing here or…or…or rather, why are heading to the griffon kingdom?”
“To make some money. I just got a base being built and need bits to buy things for it.” Blitz says.
Daring raises an eyebrow. “What about resources to make it? Don’t you need materials and all that?”
“Oh, I already cut a deal with the Royals in exchange for a job I can’t talk about,” Blitz whispers into her ear.
Daring looks a bit impressed. “Wow, so…you like my last book?”
“Yeah, I did notice a few changes though,” Blitz says.
Daring smirks. “Which part did you like?”
“Oh the part where you tricked me into giving the artifact to save me,” Blitz says.
Daring giggles. “Yeah, the great climax. So how’s your life now?”
“I suppose you have heard,” Blitz says.
Daring nods. “Can’t believe she is real.”
“Was is the better word,” Blitz says.
Daring sighs. “You know that they labeled you as dead, right?”
“A fair assessment. If it wasn’t for the medical care provided by my team, I would have died.” Blitz says.
Daring smiles. “You’re okay, right?”
“Maybe a few scars, but that’s all,” Blitz says.
Daring looks him over. “Can I see them?”
“Maybe later. Too many eyes watching here. So you going to include her in your next book?” Blitz asks.
Daring tilts her head. “Maybe, just need an interview. You willing?”
“Sure, so let me guess, couldn’t get a ticket for an airship?” Blitz asks.
Daring chuckles nervously. “No.”
“Come on, you can share my cabin,” Blitz says.
Daring looks to him a bit surprised. “Really?”
“Yeah, unless you are not done with being seasick just yet,” Blitz says.
Daring glares at him. “I’m fine. Let’s go.”
“Ok, lets,” Blitz says leading her away as he smirked.
Daring hits him. “Don’t think so badly.”
“Not so antisocial once you get to know me, huh?” Blitz asks.
Daring bumps against him. “Shut up.”
“Alright,” Blitz says opening his cabin door for her. “Mares first,” Blitz says.
Daring rolls her eyes before heading inside. “Nice place, but now you. Get out of that.” She said as Blitz gets in and closes the door.
“I would make a joke about you wanting me, but you would hurt me for making it,” Blitz says lifting off his helmet.
Daring looks on as she sees his face for the first time. “Wow, but the scars?” Blitz’s horn lights up as he removes his armor to show three diagonal scars across his chest. “Whoa, that looks bad.”
“You can see why they thought I was going to die,” Blitz says.
Daring nods and sits down on the bed. “So any other problems you had?”
“Well, nothing really worth mentioning, except I’m at my limit. I walked for seventy-two hours straight to get to the dock and I need some rest.” Blitz says getting in bed.
Daring watches as he almost tries to sleep. “Hello, I’m here. Where am I going to sleep?” She said pointing to the room which had no other bed.
“Good point,” Blitz says getting off and laying on the floor.
Daring frowns. “Okay, that’s it.” She said before grabbing him and throwing him into the bed and laying down with him after pulling the covers. “Shut up and don’t molest me.”
“I…I…I…um…” Blitz says, now blushing and trying to form a proper sentence.
Daring hits him. “Just go to sleep.” She said taking her hat off.
“Ow…I don’t do well with mares so close.” Blitz says, the punch jarring things back into place.
“Oh, this is just precious. The bad flank that everypony knows is shy.” Daring says.
Blitz grimaces. “That’s because I never had mares in my life before all this.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t bite.” She whispers into his ear.
Blitz looks at her as she smiles. “You’re not a vampire…right?”
“No, but I will bite you if you want,” Daring says wrapping her wings around him.
Blitz could blush and try to fall into the heated sleep.
Blitz groans as he gets up in his bed and sees it was already empty. “Daring?” He asks, rubbing his eyes.
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Daring ask putting on her clothes and hat.
Blitz yawns. “Somewhat, why did you treat me like that last night?”
“Last night? You have been asleep for more than a day.” Daring says.
Blitz’s eyes widen. “What?!” He quickly rushes to the window and sees its night out.
Daring comes up to him. “It’s almost time for everypony to go to sleep. Figure I hit the pool, cool off, you know.”
“Arg, I hate it when I push my limit, I sleep for days,” Blitz says.
Daring looks at him as he keeps staring out the window and she sighs and starts to unbutton her clothes again. “Why don’t you hit the hay, I’ll see if I can get some food if you want?”
“After twenty-four hours of sleep? Besides, don’t you want to be seen walking around with Southern Cross?” Blitz asks grabbing his helmet with his magic.
Daring frowns a bit before pulling him away from the window and presses him against the wall, making him drop his magic. “I’ll go, the kingdom is still a few days away and most of the places are now closed. The only thing opened is the casino, bar, and dining. I don’t think you would be able to eat without taking your helmet off, would you? I’ll go alone and get some food anyway.”
“Ok, but if you’re not back in an hour I’m coming to look for you,” Blitz says.
Daring sighs and gets off of him. “So what do you want to eat? They got almost anything.” She asks taking her hat off and placing it next to her clothes and his armor.
“I’m not a very picky eater so just grab extra helpings of what you get,” Blitz says.
Daring nods and heads for the door. “Okay, just stay here and…check bounties or something. I’ll try to be back in thirty minutes. If I don’t get held up at the bar.” She finished with a smirk.
“Watch yourself, I already noticed a few on the ship,” Blitz says.
Daring waves him off. “Yeah, yeah. I’m sure they’re asleep.” She said heading out and closing the door behind her.
Blitz sighs and brings the helmet to him and puts it to read over the bounties he saw and those at large in the Griffon kingdom as he waited impatiently for forty-five minutes before getting up. “Best go check on her,” Blitz says using his magic to quickly put on his armor and heading out the door and towards the bar.
Once he finds the dining room he heads for the bar on the far side and finds Daring sitting there with two plates of food, but the trouble is the two griffons beside her who seems to be chatting her up.
Blitz remains out of their field of vision as he scans each and both griffons had bounties on their heads and then looks around and sees more griffons and strangely, one stallion pony. He then moves in to hear them and sees the griffons grab something from behind him and grabs a shot glass full of a drink and puts a powder into it before mixing it and giving it to her. “A toast, to the greatest adventurer.” He calls as Daring smiles and drinks the shot.
Daring immediately starts to sway and the two griffons look to each other before lifting her hooves over their shoulders, with Daring not being able to move much and walking her out to the side of the boat outside as more griffons and the stallion follows.
Blitz quickly gets up and follows them to the door and peeks out to see Daring placed down near the railing while the griffons stand guard around her and the stallion. “Now Daring, why don’t you tell me where the eye of Tifus is? I know you brought it with you.” Dr. Caballeron says.
Daring sways her head around as she tries to concentrate. “Wha…the eye of Tifus? What the bucking shit is that?”
Dr. Caballeron frowns and nods to the griffons who grabs Daring and lifts her up by her hooves. Another then comes up and takes something out before shoving it underneath her which she yelps out loud. “Where?!”
Daring squirms from the thing inside her. “I don’t…ow…what you are talking about?” She said, flailing her legs.
“Don’t play games with me Do or I’ll use it.” He said talking something out of his pocket and hitting something on it which then Daring squirms around. “Now where am i…?” Dr. Caballeron was cut off by one of the griffon’s screeching in pain. Turning around he sees nothing but the Griffon holding a smoking wound in its claw.
The griffon falls as he clutches his wound and the others see the pony in armor behind him. “You know what to do. Claws and hooves where I can see em and get down on the ground.” Blitz threats shooting another griffon in the claw to emphasize his point.
“Tha…that can’t be Southern Cross.” A griffon says as it started to rain onto the deck.
Blitz shoots near the griffons, making them jump. “Do as I say, now or I will collect your dead bounties!” He threatens.
The griffons quickly look to each other before the two griffons holding her puts her down as she breathes heavily. “Again? It happened again?” She asks herself, lost in her own world.
“Down on the ground.” Blitz orders again. “Not you two, move the lady away and set her against the wall over there. If I even suspect you are planning something, I will drop you both.” Blitz says.
The two griffons quickly pick up Daring carefully and slowly move her to the wall near him and set her down and then backs away with their claws raise. Blitz quickly moves to her side not taking his eyes off the griffons and sees that her pupils widened and her sweating and heat coming from her has increased. “Oh my god. Aphrodite, that’s what it was. You, a stallion with the stupid look, walk over here.” Blitz orders.
“What are you cowards waiting for, there is only one of him.” Dr. Caballeron calls.
One of the griffons snort. “Don’t you know who that is?”
Another griffon raises his head up slightly. “That’s the famous Southern Cross.”
The one griffons that were holding Daring tries to calm down. “And not even us griffons would try and get in his way.”
“What are you talking about, those stories are all phony and if they are true, think of how many bits he has got.” Dr. Caballeron says starting to get their attention before being shot in the hoof.
Dr. Caballeron grunts from pain as he sees his busted hoof. “Want to really try?” Blitz offered.
The griffons who were starting to work up the nerve to try something, instantly felt it slip away as Blitz starting shooting each one with a small pad that material shot out from, completely immobilizing them all. The griffons tried to struggle, but couldn’t move.
Blitz looks over to Dr. Caballeron. “Still want to try?”
“Um.” Dr. Caballeron didn’t get a chance to answer as Blitz picked him up and slammed him against the wall harshly before bringing his hoof under his chin and two claws extended on either side of his head trapping it. “Now I have a third claw in the middle of these two unless you want to see a demonstration, you will answer every question truthfully got it?!” Blitz yells.
Dr. Caballeron just whimpers.
Blitz huffs. “I’ll take that as a yes. The first question, Daring you up to asking him anything?” Blitz asks.
Daring breathes in sharply. “He did it.” She said, out of focus.
“Ok, she is out of it so I will ask the question, what is the eye of Titus?!” Blitz yells.
Dr. Caballeron went on to explain that it was supposed to be the key to an ancient griffon treasure and he wanted it to sell it off to the highest bidder.
Blitz scoffs. “You make me sick. The second question, you know what, we will continue this when she can answer properly.” Blitz says before withdrawing his claws and slamming his helmet into his head and knocking him out.
Blitz sighs and looks to the other griffons as some of them still struggled to get out of their wrappings. “You guys are going to wait here until I can find a way to deal with you. For now…” He looks to Daring who was mumbling to herself before going to her and touches her shoulder which she instantly recoils and looks at him in shock.
“Daring, it’s ok. Let’s get you back to the room.” Blitz says picking her up, as he starts walking, as he drags Dr. Caballeron back to his cabin.
After they make it back, Blitz throws Dr. Caballeron into the room and into a corner while leading Daring to the bed. “You okay?” He asks carefully as Daring slowly sits down.
Daring takes shaky breaths. “He actually did it to me. Why, why now? I never wanted that to happen, not again.”
“He didn’t Daring. He didn’t rape you.” Blitz says holding her.
Daring tries to breathe in as she leans into Blitz. “I still feel it.”
Blitz reaches down and pulls out the toy, making her gasp. “This is what he used,” Blitz says showing her it.
Daring gulps. “I still feel it. It’s moving everywhere.”
“Nothing is there Daring. They slipped you something. Hold on.” Blitz says going to one of the suitcases he brought and opens it. He then closes it when he brought out a small gun like object with a needle on the end and a tube with blue liquid inside. “Daring this will hurt, but it will make you feel better,” Blitz says.
Daring stared straight ahead as she feels the cold metal put into her before she feels something cold run into her and the burning started to settle down, but then she held her stomach as most of the pains started to hit her there after Blitz pulled the needle out.
Daring groans as she fell off the bed and started to shake while still keeping a hold on her stomach. After a while, Daring stopped moving and was breathing carefully. “Cross?” She asks shakily.
“Yeah, I’m here Daring,” Blitz says.
Daring whimpers a bit. “Can you…get me to the shower?”
“Sure. Also, when he wakes up, we got questions that need to be answered.” Blitz says putting the item down and lets Daring lean on him.
Daring breathes in carefully as he slowly leads her into the bathroom and places her in the shower. “Go on.” He said pulling the shower curtains around it. Daring gulps and turns the shower on and feels the sharp cold waterfall on her.
“Let me know if you have to vacate your stomach as sometimes they do as a natural reaction when they first take that medicine,” Blitz says.
Daring nods slowly. “Cross?”
“Yes Daring?” Blitz asks.
Daring slowly looks to him. “Can you hold me?”
“Sure,” Blitz says removing his armor as the water heats up before stepping in and wrapping his hooves around her.
Daring whimpers and leans against him. “Please…don’t let this happen to me again.”
“I won’t, I swear to you,” Blitz says tightening his grip.
Daring puts her head under his head. “Can I stay with you, forever?”
“Yeah, you can. But do you want to give up your life of adventuring?” Blitz asks.
Daring closes her eyes and nuzzles him a bit. “I’m done. I can’t go through that again. Not after what started it.”
“So you going to take your job teaching seriously now?” Blitz asks getting a shocked look from Daring.
Daring keeps looking at him. “How?” She asks.
“I have a very good way of getting information,” Blitz says.
Daring grimaces before sighing. “I can’t, after both times so close to it. I can’t go through it and I doubt even teaching would give a chance away from that.”
“Daring, don’t give up what you love. Sit and think on this for a few days.” Blitz says petting her mane.
Daring presses her lips together. “Okay, can you stay with me here?”
“Of course, it is my cabin,” Blitz says smiling at her.
Daring tries to smile back and nuzzles him again. “Thank you.”
“Come on, let’s get you to bed,” Blitz says turning off the water.
Daring sighs and moves with Blitz as they get out the shower and dry off before heading back in the room and Blitz places Daring down into the bed. “You’re going to be okay,” Blitz said as he sat near her and petted her head.
“Thanks for being here,” Daring says before stealing a kiss.
“O…Ok, I’ll just store this one away,” Blitz says grabbing his armor with his magic and reequips it.
Daring nods and pulls the covers around her head. “Okay, just come back.”
“Don’t worry, I will be back soon,” Blitz says bringing out a cable and starts tying up Dr. Caballeron before tossing him into the closet and leaving. Blitz went back to the deck and grabbed all the bounties and dragged them to the brig after informing the crew.
Blitz returns to his cabin and finds Daring sleeping as he takes off his armor and puts them next to Daring’s clothes on the table. “Huh, after all this, we forgot to eat. Best not to now.” He said to himself before getting into the suitcase and bringing out a sleeping serum and puts it into the injector after sterilizing it and injects himself before putting it back in the briefcase and seals it. Blitz then climbs into the bed and let the serum take hold, falling asleep.
Daring moans as opens her eyes and sees Blitz sleeping right next to her. She smiles lightly before getting up a bit and looking around before looking down at herself. “Was it all just a dream?” She asks herself.
“Depends, do you want to know?” Blitz asks her as he opens his eyes and looks up at her.
“Oh Cross, you’re awake,” Daring says hurrying to get dressed.
“Southern Cross is only my code name. My real name is Apple Blitzkrieg.” Blitz says.
Daring looks to him. “Apple Blitzkrieg?”
“Yeah, don’t know my original family name if I had one. I was adopted later.” Blitz says.
Daring nods. “What did you say before, something about does I want to remember?”
“Do you want to remember what happened last night?” Blitz asks.
Daring nods. “What’s the point of forgetting if you can’t learn from it?”
“Well, the scum in the closet slipped you a drug that, I think, caused you to go right into heat and tried to make you talk by then putting a vibrator into you,” Blitz says.
Daring’s eyes widen before she glares. “Where is he?”
“In the closet, I tied him up and dragged him back here to answer some questions when you felt up to it. But before we start, let me get dressed.” Blitz says starting.
Daring sighs and looks to the closest. “Anything else, like what he asked me?”
“What is the eye of Tifus Daring?” Blitz asks donning his armor.
Daring sighs. “It’s the key to finding the staff of Tifus. You know him?” Daring asks.
“Yeah, studied a few things in preparation of coming to this place. What exactly is the history though?” Blitz asks.
Daring looks to him. “Well, history told of a great mage that led a rebellion against the Unicornious Empire and brought it down five thousand years ago. Texts say that he used to staff to help bring it down and lead his army through it all. The staff held a power that not even the unicorns themselves can do and is able to decimate an entire area.”
“Hum, that part about it helping him lead his army was interesting, exact meaning?” Blitz asks.
“None left for future generations to find,” Daring says.
Blitz sighs. “Want to talk to him now?”
Daring leans her ear against the closest and hears something interesting. “I’m thinking room service.” She said with a grin.
“Ok, let me get him in a talking mood,” Blitz says opening the door and roughly grabbing and throwing him out.
Daring smiles as she looks to Blitz. “You know, he was torturing me with something a mare would either hate or love and boy did I hate it.”
“Now where were we, oh yes,” Blitz says before bringing his hoof under his chin and two claws extended on either side of his head trapping it. “Now I have a third claw in the middle of these two unless you want to see a demonstration, you will answer every question truthfully. Sound familiar?” Blitz asks.
Daring holds up a hoof. “Wait, Cross, listen.” She said as everything quiets down and then they hear a rumbling sound. They both follow the sound sees it’s the doctor’s stomach. Daring grins as she looks to Blitz. “What do you say we eat first before really putting the screws to him?”
“Or I could gut him like a pig, I’m sure the griffons won’t notice a difference on the buffet,” Blitz says.
Daring shakes her head and pulls Blitz’s head away for a bit. “He tortured me, I’m going to do the same to him, male style, no food while hungry and we eat.” She whispered.
“Ever heard of the good guard, bad guard?” Blitz whispers back.
Daring smirks. “And if he wants it, just talk.”
“That’s good, keep coming to him like that. I’ll continue like I am, he will talk then.” Blitz whispers back before turning back to the doctor. “So tell me scum, would you rather want it quick and painless?” Blitz asks before bringing out the other claws in his other forehooves armor. “Or slow and extremely painful?” Blitz asks.
Daring sighs as she picks up the phone. “Yes, room service. I and my friend here need two of the chef’s special, a lava crunch cake, some vegetable pizza, two of them, deep dish, a bowl of salad, and…Cross do you want anything?” She calls to him.
“Nah, I’m good right now,” Blitz says bringing his claws close to the doctor’s throat.
Daring turns back to the phone. “And maybe some ice cream.” She pauses. “Chocolate and fudge with the condiments to go with them with all the rest of the order.” She listens to the other end. “Okay, thanks. Yeah, room 113.” She turns back to Blitz and the doctor after hanging up. “It’ll be here in about ten minutes.”
“So tell me, who do you want to talk to me or the good professor?” Blitz asks digging a claw very shallowly into the doctor’s uninjured forehoof.
The doctor groans as he tries to keep it together.
“I take groans as the latter, are you sure you want that?” Blitz asks digging it in a little deeper.
The doctor groans a little louder as this went on for the whole ten minutes before a knock came to the door and Blitz moved the doctor into the bathroom and out of sight. Daring goes to the door and opens it to a servant with a large cart. “Thank you.” She said pulling the cart in and tipping him a few bits. “We’ll handle the rest.” She said before closing the door.
Daring smirks as she sets up the trays and bowls on the table while Blitz came back out. “Leave him there in the middle and let him see.” She said taking a seat. “Come on, time to eat.”
“You got five minutes, he doesn’t start talking, and I’m going to start using the ancient ways of torture on him,” Blitz says leaving, claws withdrawn.
Daring sighs as she sees the doctor eyeing the food and his stomach growling. She grins and starts to open everything. “Let’s see. What to start?” She asks herself, eyeing the many foods on the table
Blitz looks at his clock and sees the timer ending and was about to go inside again until Daring came out with a big smile. “Got him and he was already talking about one minute in. Come on in.” She said pulling him inside.
Blitz steps inside with her and sees the doctor still on the ground. Daring walks past him and kicks him. “Keep going now.” She said before going back to the table and starts to eat on the many foods still there.
Blitz goes to his briefcase and unseals it and starts looking through them till he grabs a red one and sanitizers the injector.
Daring looks to him with pizza still connected to her mouth. “What’s that for?” She asked with her mouth full.
“Oh, just a little something in case it’s needed. So that’s everything you want to know?” Blitz asks putting in the red chemical.
Daring swallows the piece of food. “Unless you have questions.”
“How did you know she was going to be on this boat since she bought her ticket last minute and who told you she had it?” Blitz asks.
The doctor groans as he eyes the food. “My employer and the dock workers saw her get on. Now give me the food!”
Daring smiles and takes another bite. “What do you think Cross, should we?” She asks swallowing the piece.
“One last question, who hired you?” Blitz asks.
The doctor tried hopping his way now. “It was some brown unicorn mare with a blue mane. Now give me!” He yelled hopping to her.
“Is that all we will get out of him?” Blitz asks walking up behind him.
Daring eats again. “I guess.”
Hearing that, Blitz forcibly held him in place as he gave him the shot. The doctor struggled for a moment before falling unconscious. “The drug I gave him should keep him unconscious for the rest of the trip and should erase the last five days from his memory,” Blitz says taking it out and starts sterilizing it.
Daring smiles as he packs his case away and gets out of his armor. “Want to eat now?” She asked, holding out a pizza piece.
“Yes, if you’re serving.” Blitz jokes.
Daring smirks. “Want me to get the whipped cream and start spraying it on myself?”
“Why Daring, I didn’t know you were so forward.” Blitz jokes removing his helmet.
Daring blinks and gets confused. “I’m not. I’m never this forward.”
Blitz gets confused as well. “You sure?”
Daring nods. “Yeah, I’m never like that. I barely do the food things.”
Blitz thinks for a few before going to his case and taking out the antitoxin. “Let’s see…” She watches him for a few before he starts shaking. “Oh shit.”
“What?” Daring asks.
“It has an ingredient that I doubt would be good. If I had to think about it, you’re stuck with the heat poison…forever. I locked you with the poison. The only good news is that it’s lessened and you’re more in control. But that’s my best guess. Unless…no, not an option.” Blitz says.
Daring looks at him. “What?”
“Daring, at the end of this endeavor in the griffon kingdom, I will tell you of a possible way to get that poison out of you permanently, but you might have to give up something in return,” Blitz says.
Daring listens to what he said and finally sighs after a while. “Okay, but what will it be? What do I have to give up?”
“I can’t say, only at the end. Until then, we will stay together.” Blitz says.
Daring groans. “Great. You know you have to deal a lusty me?”
“You can control it, it just dulled it to ten percent more heat than usual,” Blitz says.
Daring sighs. “Think you can handle it if I fall into it?”
“I think I can,” Blitz says.
Daring nods. “Okay, I’ll try to control it, but you won’t tell until this is over?”
“To quote my cousin Big Mac. Nope.” Blitz says giving his best impression.
Daring leans back in her seat. “Want to eat?”
“Yeah,” Blitz says sitting down with her before giving a small kiss to her cheek. “It’ll be okay.” Daring smiles before giving him a soft punch to his shoulder. “Ow. I’m trying to be helpful here.” He said holding his shoulder.
“And that was for being sappy,” Daring says her tongue sticking out playfully.
Blitz only responded by putting ice cream on her.
Twilight sighs as she swipes one last time and looks over the room. “There, all clean.”
“So you finally ready to renovating this storage room into a bedroom?” Minerva asks.
Twilight nods. “Yep, just need to grab some stuff from my place not furnishing, but some equipment and some books.”
”Oh, didn’t I show you yet?” Minerva asks.
Twilight looks to her. “Show what?”
“Darkstar One’s data archive stations,” Minerva says.
Twilight gasp. “I don’t have to bring books. But…” She looks down. “I like the feel of a real book once in a while.”
“Then bring your favorites, if you want to read up on anything else just use this,” Minerva says as a data pad was hoofed to her by Minerva.
Twilight smiles. “Thanks, I wonder how Applejack and Fluttershy are taking it.”
Minerva smiles. “I’m sure they are fine.” She said before leaving and heading to Applejack’s room which was the old greenhouse room. “Find the plants and placement alright?” She asks walk in.
Applejack kept looking at a small tree as she looked at the growing fruit that looked like a cross between an apple and an orange seeming like she was trying to understand what it was. Minerva smiles as she steps up to her. “Wondering?”
“You have explained it to me three times, yet I’m still having trouble coming to terms with this thing actually existing.” Applejack says.
Minerva pats her back. “I’m sure you will get used to it. Your family is okay with this, right?”
“Um, only Applebloom knows about this.” Applejack says.
Minerva sighs. “I meant with your cover of leaving for a long time?”
“Oh yeah, princess Twilight requested me to come on a long journey with her. Sound reasonable?” Applejack asks.
Minerva nods. “Good, I’m going to check on Fluttershy. You keep planting and planning.” She said heading to a room close to Blitz’s. “Fluttershy, you find everything okay?” She called inside.
Fluttershy smiles as she looks over the equipment. “Oh yeah.” She said looking at the cage about her size.
Minerva smiles as Fluttershy moves around the equipment stricken room. “Well, I made plenty of orders from Canterlot and made sure they were top notch. You got your cage, your stocks, hanging and wooden, your spreader bar for your whole body, some BDSM tools for mares, and of course a pet’s bed.”
“You think I went a bit overboard?” Fluttershy asks as the items disappeared as the walls flipped.
Minerva shakes her head as just a regular bed and a desk and some shelves were placed on the walls finishing their flip. “No, he’s going to love this, one day of course. Now, can I pull you around?”
Fluttershy frowns. “No, Blitz is my master and he is the only one who can.”
“Oh, I wish I could have full nerve endings like you so I could join in,” Minerva says.
Fluttershy sighs. “You do have what you need for being with him, right? You know…” She asks, touching the ends of her hooves together.
Minerva nods. “Oh yeah, got the utilities for it, but it is not as functional as yours.” She said tapping her flank.
“Oh right, you’re made of metal. I keep forgetting.” Fluttershy says.
Minerva smiles. “That’s good. If you forget I’m a robot then that means I’m doing a good job.”
“I guess so. So I figured out your Miva, so what did the goal come to that Blitz went to the Griffon kingdom to make?” Fluttershy asks.
Minerva nods. “He went there to make money for the base.”
“Are you going to tell me the goal?” Fluttershy asks.
Minerva grins. “I don’t know, he doesn’t tell me everything.”
“He told you to give him an estimate on the price,” Fluttershy says.
Minerva sighs. “We need around fifty thousand bits.”
“How long do you think that will take?” Fluttershy asks.
Minerva shrugs. “Don’t know, it depends on what they would offer and he could probably sell the materials if he doesn’t need it. If he finds some materials we need it could save us some bits.”
“Ok,” Fluttershy says.
“So, going to get Twilight and Applejack to join in later?” Minerva asks.
Fluttershy smiles. “They’re my friends, how could I not.”
“So what are you going to use on Twilight?” Minerva asks smiling.
Fluttershy shakes her head. “No, they going to use me.”
“Oh, but don’t you want to let them experience it? I mean you are friends after all.” Minerva says.
Fluttershy smiles. “Maybe next time, they have to learn to be masters first before they can understand being submissive.”
“And you have to teach Blitzy,” Minerva says quickly into her ear.
“And I have to teach Blitzy, but it won’t be for a while since he’s gone,” Fluttershy says. “Wait a minute.” She says glaring at Minerva.
Minerva nods ignoring the glare. “Yeah, it’s always more fun with a male, especially if you’re into this and want to be bruised and battered.”
“Oh, where is Terran?” Fluttershy asks.
Minerva smiles. “Oh, he is with Lightning Dust hunting a bounty. Why you want him to join and mess with you?”
Fluttershy hits her, making a clang sound. “Actually…” She looks to Minerva closely. “What’s he like?”
“Who?” Minerva asks.
Fluttershy looks outside before looking back at her. “Terran, how’s his tool down there?”
“Oh, you don’t want that, the Varren mating can be deadly, besides don’t you want your master?” Minerva asks.
Fluttershy tilts her head. “Terran is also my master in a sense because I’m lower than him. Now how is it dangerous?”
“Biting, lots of it and body part sometimes fly around and that’s with other Varren,” Minerva says.
Fluttershy nods. “Okay, there’s no way to hold it off?”
“No, and don’t you want to be unspoiled for Blitzy?” Minerva whispers.
Fluttershy blushes. “Yeah, I just wish he was here now.”
“Don’t worry, he is off working to get money to pay for things for you,” Minerva says.
Fluttershy blushes heavily and looks at the wall. “Did I overdo it? Spent too much?”
“Oh no. Um…establishing a base is kinda like starting a business and he is also helping to sponsor rebuilding the town as well. Which reminds me, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Shadow Runner have a thing for him.” Minerva says.
Fluttershy looks a little surprised. “Really, you think they would try to join?”
“Maybe, I don’t know,” Minerva says giving a cheshire cat smile.
“You are starting to remind me of my roommate,” Fluttershy says.
Minerva grins. “Who’s that?”
“Speaking of which, where was he, we could have used his help with Bloody Mary,” Fluttershy says.
Minerva scratches her head. “Who are you talking about?”
“Discord!” Fluttershy yells.
Meanwhile in Los Pegasus.
Discord was in a high stakes blackjack game with King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis while smoking a cigar. He smirks and looks to Sombra who moves the bikini mares’ cards to fit the look of the numbers. He then looks to Chrysalis as she throws the cards she had away.
Discord chuckles and then places his cards down. “Blackjack boy. I win.” He called to Sombra who throws his cards at him and he gets a surprising queen card of Luna in a two-piece black bikini in his goatee.
Discord was about to collect his winnings when he stopped and had Darth Vader’s clothes appear on him. “I sense a disturbance in the force.” Discord says and made mechanical breathing noises.
Both the rulers look to him. “Flutterbat?” They ask.
“Flutterbat.” He says, now dressed like Alucard.
“Why haven’t you stopped her?” Chrysalis asks in a foreign accent, dressed like Integra Fairbrook.
“Indeed,” Sombra says dressed like Walter.
“Hah, she’s a very scary creature. I’m even scared of her especially with that stare of hers. Here.” He said giving Sombra a block device. “The song is Back in Black by AC/DC. Now let’s go.” He said snapping his fingers and sending them off, leaving a weeping stallion at the table from being near three of the strongest villains.
Fluttershy stands in her room as she talks with Twilight and Applejack with Minerva as they try to think of ways to punish Discord.
“Well, the last thing we want is for him to get near our stallion,” Twilight says.
Fluttershy snorts. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he doesn’t.”
“Wha…what you mean you forgot the song?” A voice outside the door said catching their attention. “Ok…okay, you know what, screw it, just screw it. Just take my phone and hit random. No, I don’t care if I turned you into a penguin, just hit random. Okay, three, two…”
The sliding door bursts open like a double door was and Discord was standing there with Chrysalis and a penguin that reminds them of Sombra for some reason.
Alushy - Nightmare Night [SFM]
Discord turns to the penguin. “Now, okay, turn it off, turn it off.” To which the penguin responded by hitting his head on the white device he was holding and turns the music off. “It didn’t work.” He then takes off the circular, heavily tinted, wire-framed orange sunglasses with goggle sidings. “It did not work.”
“Following your example.” Chrysalis quipped as she wore a business suit with a red bow tie.
“Oh caddy.” Discord said to her.
“Discord what are you doing on the Darkstar One?” Twilight asks.
Discord throws his glasses at her. “Fluttershy called me.”
“What have we here, some sort of new magical device?” Chrysalis asks causing Minerva to start to barely hold back her laughter.
“Brilliant, just brilliant. The entrance, the music, the dialogue. Epic. Thank goodness I recorded that in almost ten different angles.” Minerva said as she laughs rolling across the ground.
The Sombra penguin started making quacking noises. “No, this ship is one hundred percent metal.” Discord says.
Chrysalis looks around and knocks on the walls. “Not bad, I might really like this sort of place.”
Discord goes wide eye and turns to her with the most scared look on his face. “You must never live in a place like this, never, ever, ever. It will spawn the greatest hunters, with no eyes, a complete exoskeleton that makes them look like they have anorexia and a very sharp tail that can pierce through anything while having a fish bone as their tail body. And they will hunt others down to their deaths.”
“Twi?” Applejack asks.
Twilight just shows her a comic book she confiscated from Spike and shows her the creature he described fighting a guard. “Xenomorph is what they’re called. Come to think of it, Chrysalis and her hive are like that.”
Sombra penguin starts making more noises and Fluttershy gives him the STARE! Discord immediately shrinks down to a size of a puppy as she gets close to him and Sombra as they both hug each other.
