Morning

Living with Determination: Iwatodai Dorm Arrangement - Persona 3

After spending such a wonderful time with Victor in the Akashic Records, Starlight woke up the next morning to see Trixie was already dressed and heading down to breakfast. They planned to walk to school together, so since Starlight woke up a bit later, she went to get a shower in. As she walked through the hallway, she saw Twilight step downstairs with her arms folded, looking down.

Despite the awkwardness of being in a towel still, (seriously, when would she remember to buy a bathrobe?!) Starlight walked over to Twilight to ask her what was wrong.

“Good news, I have an overall layout of the Dungeon now,” Twilight said, “Bad news, it’s bigger than I thought. It’s almost like two whole Dungeons rolled into one. Also, the Shadows in the city are beginning to look like they’ll get violent.”

“Think we need to worry?” Starlight asked Twilight, who took a breath and nodded.

“I know I’m worried. I’d like to head back in tonight, see if we can get close to Rarity. Could you head to Student Council today? See how she’s doing since we booted Blueblood’s Shadow out?” Twilight requested.

“I was planning that anyway,” Starlight assured Twilight, who sighed in relief.

“Thank you. I’m going to eat with everyone, and then head off to bed,” Twilight stretched, “I’ll see you downstairs, I guess.”

“See you, Twilight,” Starlight smiled, watching Twilight walk downstairs. She was still worried about her possibly having a Dungeon, but it was nice to see Twilight being a bit more friendly with everyone. She’d ask her what changed, but she didn’t want Twilight to run the other way.

But it did feel better, having all of them sitting together and eating. They were starting to feel like a real family.


Afternoon

Memories of the City - Persona 3

Sadly, Rarity was still avoiding Starlight a bit in the halls. Starlight did notice that she was looking at her a bit oddly though. Seemed seeing her in her dungeon left quite an impact on her.

Starlight was definitely planning to visit the Student Council today. Hopefully if she kept this a secret from the other members, she’d have less of a chance of Rarity skipping out. Till then, she just needed to survive the school day.

Ms. Harshwhinny called on Pinkie Pie to answer a question in class, which naturally made her freak as she wasn’t prepared for it. Realizing Pinkie Pie’s phone was on vibrate, Starlight texted her the answer, which was thankfully the right one.

The smile she gave Starlight made her feel really warm. Pinkie Pie seemed to really appreciate her helping her like that.

Starlight had a feeling she and Pinkie Pie would get closer soon.


After School

Once class ended, Starlight went straight to the Student Council office. Everyone was naturally in their usual desks, including Rarity thankfully. No more avoiding me, Starlight thought.

Work was just as lively as usual, though it seemed everyone could pick up on how tense Rarity was. She tried putting on her usual perky, upbeat persona, but Starlight saw right through it. Based on how Applejack kept looking at her, so did she.

“Rarity, can we, talk over there?” Applejack asked pointing to the far end of the Student Council room.

“Hm? Oh, certainly,” Rarity said, rising up and following Applejack. Starlight looked carefully to try and see what they were talking about. Based on how gentle Applejack spoke to Rarity, it was clear she was concerned about something. It was also clear that Rarity was deflecting, as Starlight could see the sadness in her eyes despite her smiling, and also the lack of eye contact.

Sunburst hummed in thought, sitting back, “Something’s wrong,” Sunburst said softly to Starlight, “Does this have anything to do with last Thursday?”

Starlight bit her lip, but nodded subtly. She couldn’t put Rarity’s business out there, but Sunburst was her childhood friend and in the know somewhat when it came to her being a witch. She couldn’t lie to him.

“Mmm, I had a feeling,” Sunburst muttered, “A few students saw Rarity with Blueblood last week.”

“They’re not spreading rumors, are they?” Starlight asked Sunburst, who shook his head thankfully.

“Not to my knowledge, but they are confused. It’s common knowledge that she despises Blueblood, and ever since he’s been outed for abusing Trixie, she hasn’t been hiding it all that much,” Sunburst said, “So for her to suddenly be seen around him…”

Starlight bit her lip and looked away, “I, know a bit about what that is. I can’t say, as it’d be putting Rarity’s business out there, but there’s a lot going on behind the scenes here.”

Sunburst looked tense, “I don’t like it, but I’ll accept that Starlight,” he said, “By the way, are you two okay? Everyone can tell there’s some odd energy between you and Rarity now.”

“It’s, kind of related to the thing I can’t say,” Starlight sighed. Damn it, she wanted to just open up about this. She was beginning to wonder, should she? Or, should she keep silent about it as it was related to her Dungeon?

And should she still be worried that Rarity was still seen with Blueblood, despite them getting him out of her Dungeon?

She looked to the other side of the room, where she saw Spike sitting by the window looking at Rarity and Applejack intently. He looked at his phone briefly, and then back at them with a frown. For some reason, Starlight didn’t like that.

After a bit, Rarity’s phone made a noise. She looked down at the screen and closed her eyes, “Sorry everyone. I need to head out now. Applejack, don’t wait up for me.”

Applejack narrowed her eyes at this, “Ya sure you’re alright?” she asked, “’Cause if anyone’s givin’ ya trouble-”

“I said I’m fine!” Rarity snapped, making everyone jump. She looked at everyone surprised, and then sighed, “I’ll see you all later.” she then stormed out of the Student Council office, leaving everyone stunned.

“She’s anything but fine,” Pip said.

“Damn it, Rares,” Applejack growled, “Why ain’t ya talkin’ to no one…? Least of all me…?”

Spike hummed to himself, once again looking down at his phone with a frown. Seriously, what was he looking at?

“I’ll go after her,” Starlight shot up, “Like Pip said, she’s not fine at all.”

As Starlight ran past Applejack on her way out, she could feel her gaze locked on her. She had a feeling she’d have a bit of a confrontation with her later, but that was fine. She’d deal with it when she had to, but for now she had to find Rarity. It didn’t take her long, as she soon found her on her way to what seemed to be the back alleyway.

Maya Theme - Persona 3

“Rarity!” Starlight called out to her, making her stop, “Where are you going?”

“None of your business,” Rarity said, not turning to Starlight, “What, did Applejack and the others send you?”

“I sent myself.” Starlight said, “You’re my frie-”

“Stop saying that!” Rarity snapped, tightening her fists, “You’re not my friend!”

“Then again, why did you hire me as your secretary?” Starlight asked, “You said it yourself, that you wanted to get close to me!”

“And now I’m starting to see that was a mistake,” Rarity turned to Starlight, undoing her tie and some of the buttons of her shirt as she walked over to her, “Ever since I took you on as my secretary, you’ve been nothing but a nosy little pest, getting involved in shit that's none of your business. For god’s sake, it’s so bad you’re appearing in my dreams now.”

She was lucid. She had the potential to be a Persona User.

“I’m going to make it clear for you, “Little Star”. Leave, me, alone,” she growled, “Right now, I’m being nice. Next time I have to tell you, I won’t be.” she then turned to leave. Starlight couldn’t just let it end like this. She had to open her heart somehow.

“He’s blackmailing you, right?” Starlight asked, making Rarity freeze, “Blueblood. That’s why you’re going to him. He’s got something on you, and is forcing you to have sex with him in order to stay silent.” Rarity said nothing, nor did she turn around to face Starlight, “He knows, doesn’t he? That you’re a member of the Diamond Dogs?”

“How do you figure that?” Rarity asked, slightly turning to Starlight. Shoot, she couldn’t tell her that they were in her Dungeon yet. She had to think of something.

“Because I know him, I know what he did to Trixie, and the lengths he’d go to get what he wants. I also know that you hate him, but don’t want anyone in school knowing about you being with the Diamond Dogs. The only reason you’d screw him, is if he had real dirt on you.”

Rarity looked down at her phone as it vibrated, “I need to go.”

“Rarity-”

“Do you have any idea what that could do to me if he outs what he knows?” Rarity asked, “I’m not letting that happen.”

“Keeping this secret. Is it really worth selling your body to a scumbag like that?”

“Wouldn’t be the first scumbag I fucked for my own benefit,” she sighed, walking off down the hall. That, was such an odd thing to say, Starlight thought. Wouldn’t be the first? Just, what did Rarity do back when she was Dirty Diamond…?


Late Night

The Phase

Scraper Sky High - Under Night In-Birth

When they all met up in the Phase, Starlight shared with everyone the bad news that Rarity was still selling herself to Blueblood, even after booting his Shadow out of her Dungeon. Naturally Trixie was not happy about this, but with the knowledge that he was blackmailing her, that did shed some light on the issue.

“So, what do you think?” Rainbow Dash asked as they carefully made their way through the courtyard, “Think Blueblood’s Shadow is still lurking around?”

I pray not,” Twilight answered, “But the reality is, until we figure out what exactly he has on her in the real world, and do something about that, there’s a chance he’ll find his way back in her Dungeon.

“So what you’re saying is,” Trixie stopped, pulling her hat over her eyes, “Everything we did on Friday was for nothing?”

No. We gave her a moment’s reprieve by pushing his Shadow out of the Dungeon,” Twilight said, “I doubt she had to see him over the weekend, and during that time her mind might have reinforced itself against him. He’ll have a harder time getting inside.

“Speaking of getting inside,” Pinkie Pie turned to Twilight, “We need to get inside the Prison, right? How are we going to do that?”

That’s, a good question,” Twilight sighed, “I’ve been searching for a way inside, but apart from getting captured yourselves, no we’re NOT following that cliché, only way in seems to be the front gate, which is most definitely heavily guarded.

“There’s gotta be a way inside this place,” Rainbow Dash said.

Not necessarily,” Twilight pointed out, "Remember, this is Rarity’s dream, which is interpreted as a high security prison. Usually those are designed to not let anyone in or out.

Starlight looked around and groaned. This was frustrating. They’d gone around the entire courtyard, and couldn’t find a good way to get inside the prison itself. No wonder Rarity was so guarded in the real world. No one who’d want to help her could even get into the front door of her prison.

Rainbow Dash looked up at the building and frowned, “Hey Mission Control, search for an entrance into the sewers?”

The sewers? Why there?” Twilight asked.

“Cause if someone were to try and do something like break out of this prison of a school, that’s how I’d do it,” Rainbow turned to Twilight’s wisp, “Also, Cinch doesn’t know what goes on inside the bathrooms of school. If she did, she’d have a fit, so those are relatively safe.”

Twilight sighed, “So we’re back to thinking Principal Cinch is the Dungeon Master?

“I never stopped thinking she was the Dungeon Master,” Rainbow Dash said, looking back up at the Prison, “Besides, who else could it be at this point? This Prison is how Rarity’s seeing the school, and Cinch already does run the place like one. At worse, Rarity’s got a cordial relationship with the rest of the staff, but she hates Cinch like the rest of us.”

Starlight nodded and turned to Twilight, “Let’s try and find an entrance into the sewers.”

Alright, but I’ll believe that Cinch is the Dungeon Master when I see her,” Twilight conceded, “Let’s see here… well, I have good news, and bad news.

“What’s the good news?” Pinkie Pie asked.

The good news, is that I found the entrance, and sure enough, it’s not guarded,” Twilight said, “The bad news, it’s outside of the gate.

“Meaning, we have to go outside of security gate, in order to get out of here…” Trixie groaned rubbing her eyes.

"This Dungeon is the most complicated one we've run into yet," Starlight sighed, "Alright, let's head back toward the entrance. Worst case scenario, we'll leave out the Checkpoint and go through the main entrance again."

They started backtracking to the Checkpoint, but something caught her attention. It looked like, a pillory? She told her teammates to stop for a second as she walked around it.

“What’s so strange about this?” Rainbow Dash asked, “This is a prison, so there are bound to be a few stockades and shit around, right?”

“But why here?” Starlight asked, “They wouldn’t need something like this to keep the prisoners from leaving. That’s what the guards are for.”

Starlight raises a valid point,” Twilight frowned, “Seems kind of recessive, even for dream logic.

Pinkie Pie looked around a bit, and then ran over to a pole, “Hey! Check this out! This pole has ware marks it!”

“Yeah, it does,” Trixie walked over to look up at it, “I think I’ve seen a couple of these scattered around.”

“Hm,” Pinkie Pie hummed to herself in thought, and then got in front of the pole, raising her arms to where the markings were. The way she sort of bent over doing it left her legs spread out a bit, giving everyone a very enticing view of her rear.

“Um, Pinkie Pie?” Rainbow Dash asked blushing, “W-what are you doing?”

“Give me a second,” Pinkie Pie closed her eyes, and then bit her lip a bit blushing, “I know what these marks are.”

Want to fill in the peanut gallery?” Twilight asked as Pinkie Pie lowered her arms and stood up straight.

Rope marks,” she turned to the team, “Someone is tied up here, a lot.”

Starlight looked around the pole, noticing the amount of ware on the pole, “I think Pinkie Pie’s right. There are more marks, suggesting multiple positions.”

What, kind of weird prison is this…?” Twilight frowned, “Hang on. I’m seeing some sort of commotion at the entrance.

Starlight ran over to the entrance, seeing an apparition of one of the cheerleaders, on her hands and knees being spit roasted by the guards. She was wearing leather lingerie similar to Rarity, but hers somehow looked more dignified, along with her expression denoting pleasure.

“I, think I know what sort of prison this is…” Trixie said mutely, pulling her hat over her eyes, “Rarity, is one kinky bitch…”

Based on what we know about Dungeons… that’s a fair assessment,” Twilight agreed awkwardly, “Trixie’s Dungeon had heavy BDSM themes too, but she was in an abusive BDSM relationship with Blueblood, so that makes sense.

“And Pinkie Pie’s Dungeon had a heavy fairy tale theme to it, similar to the Forgotten Princess movie she starred in,” Rainbow Dash added, “Hers didn’t have many BDSM themes to it actually.”

Pinkie Pie shook her head, “Nope. For me, it was all mostly around me feeling like a standard fairy tale damsel in distress. I, was used by the Shadows a lot, and I spent a lot of time tied up, but I…” she looked away, her eyes darkened a bit, “I know what that represented, and it wasn’t anything kink related.”

Starlight frowned looking at Pinkie Pie. She really needed to talk to Pinkie Pie about how she was dealing with things after her Dungeon. More and more, it was beginning to seem like she wasn’t handling the aftermath of it as well as she thought.

She then looked at the scene again. The guards looked distracted. They could sneak past them, or even take them out quickly. Maybe they could even get something form that student apparition.

“You want to fight them too, right?” Trixie asked Starlight, who nodded. Trixie summoned her cards, holding one ready, “Lead the way.”

Starlight ran over to the Shadows, jumping on the back of one of them and gripping his mask, “I’ll reveal your true form!” she proclaimed, ripping the mask off. The one she ripped the mask off of turned into a Leanan Sidhe, while the other one turned into a Take-Minakata.

E.SYNAPSE - Blue Reflection: Second Light

They’re stunned!” Twilight pointed out, “Take them out quickly, before reinforcements arrive!

“Leave this to us!” Trixie raised her Channeling Ring, “Persona!” Elenora manifested before Trixie and tossed two Agilao fireballs at Leanan Sidhe, knocking her to the ground. She then turned to Starlight and gave her a High Five.

BATON PASS!!!

“MATADOR!!!” Starlight called out, summoning the Persona and sending the command for Psychic spells. Matador flared his cape out and held his hand at Take-Minakata, knocking him to the ground as well.

Starlight immediately felt something in her heart reach out to Leanan Sidhe. Through her empathy, she got the sense that she was kinda sorta desperate for love. Was she lonely? That, was something Starlight could relate to on some level. Maybe if Starlight loved her, that’d be enough?

Leanan Sidhe looked at Starlight with a tearful smile, and burst into flames, flying into Starlight’s Channeling Ring. In the confusion, Take-Minakata ran off, thankfully not toward the prison to get reinforcements.

“Good job!” Trixie beamed, she and Starlight hugging.

“Thanks Trixie,” Starlight smiled.

Scraper Sky High - Under Night In-Birth

Rainbow Dash knelt before the student, who was now laying on the ground with a lust drunk expression on her face, “Hey, you good?”

“More…!” she moaned, “Please…! I need, more…!”

Rainbow Dash grimaced at this, "Wait, more?"

"I... I haven't had enough...!" the student writhed on the ground hugging themselves, "Please... fuck me...!"

Rainbow Dash winced, “Hey guys? I don’t think we’re getting much outta this one.”

It’s almost like she’s under a spell of some kind,” Twilight frowned looking her over on her terminal, “Thing is, I don’t detect any magic in use here. Nothing as overt as a mind controlling spell.

“That’s significant?” Pinkie Pie asked.

Very significant,” Twilight said, “Figuring out how she ended up like this could give us more insight into Rarity’s Dungeon, and what’s forming it.

“For now, I say we head into the sewer entrance,” Starlight said, “I doubt she’s going to be much for talking, and we need to move before the guards change.”

Agreed,” Twilight said, “Alright, let’s head out. The entrance you’re looking for is on the right side of the Prison.

It took a bit of searching, but they were able to find the entrance after a while. Surprisingly, it blended in very well. No wonder it wasn’t guarded. Crawling inside, they were all greeted with a very foul stench common to this environment.

“Why why why is this the realistic part?” Trixie groaned, “Ugh! I shouldn’t be able to smell it like this!”

“Technically, we should be able to feel pain here either,” Rainbow Dash pointed out, holding a fancy handkerchief over her nose.

“Okay fair. Still though…” Trixie sighed, “This is going to suck…”

Starlight looked ahead, seeing they’d have to walk through the filthy water in order to proceed. She carefully stuck her foot inside, and instantly wished she hadn’t. She could feel how wet her leg was. Made worse with her wearing high heels and a dress!

For the first time ever, I’m happy I’m out here,” Twilight said softly.

Pinkie Pie sighed, “You didn’t have to do that, Twilight.” Even with her being the only one wearing boots, she did not look pleased by this at all.

“Let’s, just go everyone,” Starlight said pained. Everyone shuddered and made their way through the sewer system. Thankfully, with this area being unguarded, there weren’t any Shadows down here, so that was nice. Still, Starlight was going to be taking two showers when she woke up. Dream or not, this was horrendous.

Not helped by the fact that the way forward turned out to be a maze, thus extending their time here even more. Twilight kept them updated on the time in the real world, so thankfully they weren’t in any real danger of losing progress yet.

“You know, the irony isn’t lost on me,” Trixie said after about thirty to forty minutes of searching, “Most people do everything in their power to break out of prison, and here we are, using a known escape route, to break into prison.”

Pinkie Pie giggled, “You know, despite how shitty this is, that’s actually kind of funny.”

Rainbow Dash snickered, “Considering what this place represents, yeah this is a real shitty situation.”

All of them started laughing at their circumstances, even Twilight from what Starlight heard. That made all of this a bit better, all things considered.

Eventually they found pathways that seemed to lead up to higher floors. It didn’t take long afterward for them to find a service ladder going up. Starlight let everyone go up ahead of her, despite wanting to rush up herself.

As they climbed up, Starlight tried using dream logic to dry her clothes and clean herself. It took a few tried, she had to block out the smell, but ultimately she made it work. She just imagined having a spell that could do it herself, which seemed to work. If the others didn’t think to do the same, she could always cast it on them.

“So Starlight, how’s the view down there?” Pinkie Pie asked. Starlight looked around, blinking in confusion as they were in a tunnel, so she couldn’t see much of anything.

“Um, I don’t know what you’re-” she stopped when she looked up, realizing Pinkie Pie was right above her. Due to how short her skirt was, Starlight could see pretty clearly her panties, which were surprisingly sexy underneath.

The fact Pinkie Pie was smirking down at her just made her feel even more awkward.

“Damn it, Pinkie Pie…” Starlight grumbled, making the Magical Girl above her laugh.

A few minutes of climbing later, they made it to the top. Trixie managed to get it open, and one by one they all filed out, arriving in what appeared to the showers.

“Oh, well this is a nice surprise,” Rainbow Dash said looking around, “Hey, wanna take a shower before we get moving.”

First off, we’re still on a timer here,” Twilight pointed out, “Second off, this is a prison shower, so I wouldn’t trust anything there. Finally, you’re witches. Just magic up a spell to get clean or something."

“That’s what I did,” Starlight raised her hand, Pinkie Pie nodding beside her.

“Same. Remember when I climbed through that pink pentagram? That’s why,” Pinkie Pie explained.

Trixie frowned in thought. She then took off her hat, pulled a large blue curtain out of it, and wrapped it around her completely. She then took it off and tossed it aside. Not only was she clean, but the curtain broke up into a bunch of butterflies before vanishing completely, “You know, I get so caught up in the whole Persona thing that I forget that I’m an actual witch now.”

Rainbow Dash shrugged and let herself be engulfed in electricity, seemingly burning off the grime from the sewers, “Neat. Thanks for the tip,” she smiled.

Sure, don’t mention it,” Twilight sighed, her wisp now looking around, “Now, where to next?

Trixie walked around a bit, her gaze dropping to the floor, her eyes wide, “Okay, ew!”

“What’s up?” Rainbow Dash asked walking to see, her eyes widening, “Oh shit! Look around!”

Who's There? - Persona 4

Starlight and Pinkie Pie looked around. Pinkie Pie covered her mouth in horror and disgust, and Starlight was frozen in shock. She didn’t notice it before, but upon further inspection, the walls and floor were covered in thick white residue. Some of it looked fresh too.

You, do know what this is, right…?” Twilight asked, horror evident in her voice and on her wisp.

“Yeah… yeah I do,” Starlight said mutely.

“This, this is disgusting,” Trixie said, “Like, it’s legit dirtier here than it was in the sewers.”

Pinkie Pie looked up and sucked in a breath, “G-girls…? Look up…”

They all looked up, seeing multiple hooks with shackles hanging from the ceiling. The shackles were all around where someone would be standing to actually get clean, and ironically that’s where it seemed the room was the filthiest.

“What, the actual fuck?” Trixie asked softly.

This place,” Twilight said, her wisp floating around the shackles, “It seems almost like it’s made specifically for this.

“I was under the impression showers were a place to get clean, not down and dirty!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

Normally, I’d be inclined to agree,” Twilight said, “But judging from all of this, and what we saw in the courtyard, some aspect of Rarity’s mind seems to think otherwise.

Well well, what do we have here?” a masculine voice sneered from the entrance. They saw three prison guards walk in, dragging two apparitions of students with them on leashes. The one in the middle had a very impressive looking uniform with a similar badge to what Applejack’s apparition was wearing, “You were the witches who took out Blueblood, and then tried to abscond with Special Prisoner number 1.

“Special Prisoner number 1?” Starlight asked, summoning her scythe and glaring at the Shadows, “Rarity!”

The Shadow in the middle laughed, “Oh right! That is her name! Honestly, we’re so used to calling her whore or cum dumpster that it tends to slip my mind!

“Where is she?!” Pinkie Pie seethed, “I swear, if you hurt her, I’ll-”

She’s currently with the Warden in one of the classrooms in this floor,” the middle guard said, “Not that it’ll matter in a bit. In fact, why don’t the boys and I help escort you?” the Shadows shed their assumed forms, revealing two Oni like the Shadow vexing Diamond Tiara’s Dungeon, and a new Demon in the middle. This one had purple skin, and was wearing purple and white robes similar to the Oni. It had long black hair, piercing blue eyes, and in its hand was a long scary looking blade.

DNF FW15C -ii- - Blue Reflection

We’re not getting out of here until we take these guys out!” Twilight exclaimed, “Brace yourselves!

The Oni on the left swung his blade in a wide arc, slashing all four of the witches back. The one on the right charged forward toward Rainbow Dash and raised its blade, preparing to slash downward.

“PERSONA!” Rainbow Dash shouted, summoning Eclair and having her block with her sword, “Damn it! These guys are stronger than the one we faced in Diamond’s Cell!”

“Everyone, go all out!” Starlight commanded, “Hold nothing back on them!”

The new one’s ID is coming up as Sui-Ki!” Twilight shouted, “My terminal can’t get an accurate read on him though, so I don’t know a weakness!

“Then we just hit it until it dies!” Trixie shouted, jumping back at the second Oni charged at her with his blade. She threw a card right in his face, making it explode with the snap of her finger and knocking him back. Before he could catch himself, Pinkie Pie rushed in and reared her fist back, summoning Serenity in the same position. The two then punched Oni back into his partner, just as Trixie summoned Elenora and tossed an Eiha spear at them, impaling both of them but doing minor damage since they both got right up.

Starlight and Morgana worked together, slashing and kicking Sui-ki and clashing blades with him. Somehow, he was able to take both of them on with relative ease. Both of them jumped back away from him, and Starlight slammed her scythe’s blade into the ground before her, pointing the Gun at Sui-Ki (YES she kept that on it, she liked it.). At the same time Morgana’s chest opened up, revealing her large cannon.

As Morgana and Starlight fired at Sui-Ki, he held his blade in front of himself to block their attacks. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash held her blade in front of her, raising it up as she willed Eclair to hit all three of them with Mazio, only doing minor damage sadly.

Sui-Ki managed to hold out long enough till Starlight and Morgana’s attack finished, and then spun his blade above him. He then shot out a massive ice blast that knocked all of them back into the walls, actually freezing Trixie briefly and doing worse damage to her.

Shoot! That looked bad!” Twilight cried, “We need a healing, and fast!

Unfortunately, Sui-Ki saw an opening and took it, slamming his blade down on the frozen Trixie before anyone could react. She fell to the ground with a pain filled scream.

“Trixie!” Starlight cried. She summoned Morgana and cast Diarama on Trixie while Pinkie Pie cast Media on everyone as a whole, including Trixie.

The two Oni charged up their blades for another Rampage, but this time Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie both managed to block. Starlight got in front of Trixie to defend her as she was rising to her feet.

“This, this is too much!” Trixie panted, “Starlight, can you call in our High Priestess?”

Starlight closed her eyes and reached out to Diamond Tiara, feeling her heart stir, “Hope this works! Come forth, my loyal servant! Rise, High Priestess!”

The room was engulfed in a bright light, half of it turning into a stage with a stripper pole on it. Diamond Tiara stepped out onto the stage, catching the attention of all three Shadows.

“Hey boys~ Like what you see~?” Diamond purred, wrapping her leg on the pole as she began her elegant pole dance. Based on how all three Shadows had hearts in their eyes now, it looked like it worked.

“LEANAN SIDHE!!!” Starlight shouted, switching to her new Persona and casting Rakunda on the leader while he was distracted by Diamond. Pinkie Pie summoned Serenity and had her cast Tarukaja on Starlight, while both Rainbow Dash and Trixie charged up their next attacks with their Personas, Trixie using a spell she called “Mind Charge” while Rainbow Dash used “Power Charge”.

“Take the Oni out first!” Starlight commanded, “As soon at we attack, they’ll notice us, and they’re the biggest issue with their wide slash!”

Trixie nodded and held her hand out, “Elenora, Eiha!” Elenora appeared before Trixie and threw her spear at the Oni on the left like a javelin, impaling him in the head and surprising the two remaining Shadows.

“CHARGE ECLAIR FARRON!!!” Rainbow Dash roared, her Persona rushing out of Rainbow Dash and slashing through the other Oni, slicing it in half. As both of his allies fell to the floor dead, he looked around at both of them in horror and then up at Diamond, who just blew him a kiss and waved.

“Tootle-loo~” she said, vanishing in a purple light along with the stage, just as Morgana and Serenity charged at him. Morgana grabbed him by the head and held him up as Serenity lifted her leg to the side, hitting him with a rapid side kick Starlight was sure she saw in a fighting game somewhere*. Either way, the attack ended with Morgana slashing him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground with a critical hit.

“All Out Attack!” Starlight commanded her team, all four of them getting their weapons out and wailing on him. Much to their dismay though, none of this actually finished him off. When he rose to his feet, he raised his blade and spun it, preparing for another Mabufu it seemed.

“Everyone, guard up!” Starlight commanded. Right as everyone put up their defense, his launched the attack, like Starlight predicted, hitting everyone present.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but think Diamond could come in for an encore?!” Twilight asked Starlight, who shook her head.

“Not so soon!” Starlight explained, “That uses a lot of magic, summoning her, and I don’t want to risk disrupting her rest but so much!”

Right, she’s not a Persona User!” Twilight groaned.

“It’s four against one now!” Rainbow Dash drew her sword and pointed it forward, “It’ll be tough, but we can at the very least wear him down!”

“How are we looking on time?” Pinkie Pie asked, stepping in beside Rainbow Dash.

It’s about 3:17 now!” Twilight said, “Any idea when Rarity normally wakes up?

“If she’s going to be helping with the farm work,” Pinkie Pie’s eyes widened, “She’ll be waking up at around 4:30 to 5:00!”

“Then we can’t waste time here!” Starlight said, “My previous command stands! Give him everything you’ve got!”

“You got it, Leader!” Rainbow Dash rushed at Sui-Ki, summoning her Persona once more and clashing blades with him.

“Help is on the way!” Pinkie Pie shouted, summoning Serenity and casting Media once more on everyone.

“SETANA!!!” Starlight shouted, switching to a new Persona she’d acquired a bit ago, this one taking the form of a young boy with short black hair, wearing silver and white armor, a fancy blue scarf that covered his mouth, brown cape, and wielding a spear in his hand.

Starlight commanded her new Persona to charge, which he did by jumping into the air and slamming is spear into Sui-Ki, creating an opening that Eclair took advantage of, slashing him upward with her blade. Setana stabbed upward with his spear, impaling Sui-Ki in the heart and making him flinch. He then fell limp on the spear before fading away.

Daydream - Blue Reflection: Second Light

Starlight was about to fall to her knees, but Trixie caught her, “Whoa there! Not sure you wanna fall out like that here.”

“Fair, enough,” Starlight panted.

“Geez, this place is insane,” Rainbow Dash groaned, “Hey, they said Rarity’s in a classrooms here, right?”

Starlight nodded, “Yeah! Let’s move!”

“What about them?” Pinkie Pie asked looking down at the students who were sitting on the ground, panting and moaning, touching themselves lewdly with their tongues hanging out.

There’s no point in doing anything for them,” Twilight said, “It might sound heartless, but they’re not real people. They’re just apparitions.

Pinkie Pie looked down, “Still…”

Trixie walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder, “Let’s focus on saving the one prisoner here who’s real, okay?” Trixie asked with a smile. Pinkie Pie took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

Scraper Sky High - Under Night In-Birth

Starlight and her coven pushed out of the Showers (using their respective cleaning methods once out just in case) and into the main hallway. Here they saw a number of Shadows walking around on walkways above them, but they managed to avoid detection for the most part, only having a few close calls here and there.

This floor seemed pretty standard and straight forward, with most of what they saw being various classrooms, or what they thought were classrooms. Thing was, looking inside each one showed less traditional classes and more various sex acts based on the classes in question.

And scarily enough, no Rarity in sight.

“You don’t think we missed her, do you?” Pinkie Pie asked.

Judging from what I’m seeing on my mini map, Rarity should be close by,” Twilight mused, “Hang on. Let me check something… got her!

“Where is she?” Starlight asked immediately.

There’s a classroom four doors down on the left side! I’m getting her signal from in there, along with a number of Shadows!

“It’s going to be a rough one, but let’s push on through!” Starlight said to her coven. They nodded and followed her to the classroom in question. As they got closer, they were greeted with the sound of heavy moaning, and screams of pleasure.

Inside the classroom, they found Rarity, but she was not in the state they expected. She was bent over a desk, wrists shackled to the desk to prevent escape, a number of “students” sitting at desks, and Shadow behind her, thrusting in and out of her pussy and gripping her hair.

Unlike with Blueblood though, she looked completely lust drunk. Her tongue was hanging out, her eyes rolled back, and she was groaning loudly in ecstasy.

Seems, the chemical, came together nicely!” the Shadow grunted in between thrusts, one hefty thrust making Rarity scream in ecstasy. Looking around, Starlight noticed a number of other Shadows lining up for a turn too. She counted at least 10 or so.

“That’s bad!” Trixie whispered, the four of them gathering at the sides of the door and just peaking in, “We’re outnumbered, and we used a ton of magic in that fight in the shower area!”

“Rarity can’t handle all of those Shadows!” Pinkie Pie cried, “We can’t just leave her!”

We need a diversion. Preferably one that doesn’t involve anyone being the bait, Trixie,” Twilight said.

“Hey! I learned my lesson from the last time!” Trixie defended.

Starlight looked around, noticing a tank of what looked like oil in the distance, “I bet if we destroyed that, the guards would gather there.”

Rainbow Dash looked at the tank and nodded, “Oh yeah. That’d make a huge noise.”

“Find a place to hide,” Trixie said, holding out a card, “I’ll set the trap.”

Starlight, Rainbow, and Pinkie Pie hid behind a nearby crate while Trixie snuck her way over to the oil tank. She stuck a Queen of Hearts card on it and rushed back over to her friends, where she then snapped her finger.

The tank exploded with a loud noise, attracting the attention of a bunch of Shadows. Thankfully all of the Shadows in the classroom seemed to join in that. Starlight peaked inside, and then motioned for her friends to follow suit.

“Rarity!” Starlight cried, “Are you okay?!”

“Mmmm…!” Rarity moaned arching her back, “Please…! Help me…!”

“Don’t worry,” Pinkie Pie said, “We’ll unchain you in a bi-”

“NO!” Rarity demanded, “Help me get off!”

“I’m sorry, what?!” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Please…! I feel like I’m going crazy…!” Rarity groaned, biting her lip in ecstasy, “So… close…!”

“What’s going on here?” Trixie looked at Rarity confused, “She’s just like everyone else who’s a prisoner.”

Desire - Persona 5

“She’s being used as a test subject for our latest batch of potions,” a familiar voice said from the back of the classroom. They looked and saw a woman walking up to them, holding in her hands a riding crop. She wore a blue and golden Warden’s uniform and hat, but it looked almost like it was mixed with the look of a dominatrix. Despite the change in outfit, her magenta colored hair and her yellow eyes gave away who this was.

“Principal Cinch?!” Trixie cried.

“Yep! Checks out!” Rainbow Dash said holding her blade out at Cinch, “Cinch runs the school like a prison in the real world, right? Only right that she’d treat it like one in someone’s dream too!”

“The Guards said that there were witches roaming around here,” Shadow Cinch said looking around, “But to think, that it was the girls from Celestia’s dorm the whole time. Somehow, this doesn’t surprise me,” she turned her nose to the air and sneered imposingly at them, “That cunt always did enjoy poking her nose into things that weren’t her business.”


Twilight noticed Celestia beside her, gripping the back of the chair tightly. She looked up at the normally sunny woman, and she had a truly hateful glare on her face.

“Miss, Tia…?” Twilight asked carefully.

“I’d hoped, Rainbow Dash was wrong,” Celestia said, breathing heavily as she tried to keep her anger in check, “That Cinch, wasn’t such a horrible person, to intentionally harm one of my children,” she trembled, “I, have never been so, furious, in my existence.”


“Ah! Is she there now?” Shadow Cinch asked with a sneer, “I’d say I was surprised, but not really. I never believed your story about being a simple teacher.”

I never told any lies,” Celestia said, her voice coming through clearly as she must have either borrowed Twilight’s mic, or had one of her own, “You on the other hand, assured me that you had our students’ best interests at heart.

“My main concern is ensuring that Canterlot High maintains its status as the best Boarding School in the state,” Shadow Cinch said, bending the riding crop, “I’ll do whatever it takes to rise it to the top.”

You’re hurting one of our students right now!” Celestia shouted, “I’m looking right at you! You can’t possibly convince me that THIS, all of THIS is for the school’s benefit!

“What, you mean the way that dog is being treated?” Shadow Cinch asked, giving a haughty laugh, “All I’m doing is giving her exactly what she deserves!”

“What she, deserves…?” Pinkie Pie asked, her eyes widening. They all turned to look at Rarity, who was still writhing and moaning in pleasure, even as Cinch talked down to her.

“That mangy mutt has no business attending this school,” Cinch said imposingly, “She’s nothing more than a filthy stray I was all but forced to adopt. If I had my way, she’d be tossed onto the streets, right where she belongs.”

“You…!” Rainbow Dash seethed, electricity crackling around her. Starlight gripped her scythe tightly, her heart racing. Only person who set her off like this was Blueblood.

“She’s one of them, you know?” Shadow Cinch continued, “A Diamond Dog. She’s one of their members.”

“A member that you let enroll into the school in the first place!” Starlight shot.

“Like I said, I was forced into it,” Shadow Cinch narrowed her eyes at Starlight, “Same as with you, you unbalanced little whore!”

Morgana manifested immediately and charged at Shadow Cinch, claw out ready to impale the Warden, who whacked Morgana with the riding crop hard, actually doing serious damage to both her and Starlight, the latter of the two falling to one knee and holding her chest in pain.

“STARLIGHT!!!” everyone screamed at once, Pinkie Pie getting to work healing her immediately.

“Don’t forget your place here, Witch!” Shadow Cinch seethed, “I still have absolute power in these halls, so your magic does nothing to me!”

“So, this was your true face,” Trixie said softly, “Tell me something, Cinch. What was the real reason Blueblood’s abuse was put under investigation, and isn’t being taken seriously?” she slowly rose to her feet and looked at Shadow Cinch dangerously, “Go on. Tell me.”

Cinch turned her nose up to Trixie, “Oh that’s simple. Blueblood’s father? He’s one of the school’s top funders. All your father has done, is a few cheap magic tricks that got him labeled as a demon. Besides, I know you asked for it,” she narrowed her eyes and smirked, “Bet seeing what I’ve turned Dirty Diamond’s dream into really got you going, didn’t it?”

To her credit, Trixie didn’t lose her temper. She just pulled her hat over her eyes, “Thank you, Cinch. Right now, I feel better than I’ve felt in ages. Now, I can hate you, with every fiber of my being, without regret.” the way she smiled was kind of unnerving, “Feels nice, to get confirmation that you’re absolute scum.”

“Rarity’s coming with us,” Starlight said, Pinkie Pie helping her to her feet, “You’re not going to torture her, any more!”

“If you want to take her, than you’re welcome to try. I doubt you'll make it too far with her in this state though. Also,” Shadow Cinch snapped her fingers, and the room filled with Shadow Guards, “They’ll present a bit of an issue.”

All four of them summoned their Personas and glared at the Shadows surrounding them. They were not going to get out of here alive if they fought.

But, Starlight was not leaving Rarity behind. Not with this woman.

The Shadows charged at them, none of them taking on their true forms. While Elenora, Serenity, and Eclair fought the Shadows off as best as they could, Starlight got to work fiddling with the chains binding Rarity.

“I may not be able to get them off completely, but I can at least get you off this table!” Starlight said, “It’s going to be okay, Rarity!”

Rarity panted heavily, looking at Starlight with that same lust drunk look on her face. Starlight didn’t pay it any mind though, as she managed to get the chain broken so Rarity could at least escape the room.

“There!” Starlight said happily, “Now, let’s get goi-” Rarity got pushed Starlight against the wall behind her, looking at her almost like she was in heat, “R-Rarity…?”

“Can’t… can’t, control…” Rarity panted, leaning into Starlight, “Fuck me...! Fuck me HARD!!!!”

Starlight cried out in shock as Rarity pinned her to the wall best as she could shackled, and proceeded to kiss and lick her hungrily, “R-Rarity! Stop! What’s gotten into you?!”

“That’s her true state!” Shadow Cinch taunted with a haughty laugh, “She’s little more than a bitch in heat! All I did was bring that out in a way where she can do some good for a change!”

“Leader!” Rainbow Dash cried, flinching as Eclair was bashed in the stomach by a Shadow, “Shit! We gotta get outta here!”

“What about Rarity?!” Pinkie Pie asked as Serenity punched a Shadow back and then spin kicked another, “We can’t just leave her like this?!”

In the state she’s in, I don’t think we CAN move her!” Twilight pointed out, “There’s Checkpoint down the hall!

Trixie looked down at something, picking it up and hiding it in her jacket. She then pushed Rarity off of Starlight, two shadows grabbing Rarity before they could get her again, “Twilight’s right! We need to move!”

Everyone rushed out of the classroom behind Twilight's wisp, the guards close behind them. Starlight tried firing a blast of Ice from Morgana to slow them down, but they simply swatted the blast away with their batons, "Twilight, how close are we?!"

"It's down this hall!" Twilight said. Sure enough, down an abandoned hallway, they saw the Checkpoint, "I'm already connected to it, so hurry through!"

They ran to the door, Trixie and Starlight making it there first, but both stopped to make sure Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie made it inside. Right when they were close though, one of the Shadows threw out a net to try and capture them. Pinkie Pie saw just in time, but in a split second motion, pushed Rainbow Dash out of the way toward the others.

"Gah!" Dash cried, turning back to where Pinkie Pie was, "Pinkie Pie, no!"

"Dash, go!" Pinkie Pie urged, the Shadows pulling her back, "Please! They'll get you too!"

"I'd like to see them try!" Rainbow Dash summoned her Persona and charged forward, slashing through the Shadows but quickly getting overwhelmed.

"Dash, we don't have enough magic to fight all of them!" Twilight cried, "We have to-"

"I'm not leaving, without Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash demanded, "ZIONGA!!!" Eclair shot a large bolt of lighting at one of the Shadows with a larger electric strike, killing it, but only it, and sadly Pinkie Pie was now pulled back deeper into the crowd.

Worse still, Rainbow Dash fell to one knee in exhaustion, Eclair fading in front of her.

Starlight hated doing this, but she had no choice. She grabbed Rainbow Dash's arm and dragged her over to the Checkpoint. Naturally Rainbow Dash pulled against her with all of her remaining strength.

"Dash, we need to go!" Starlight fussed.

"I'm not abandoning Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash screamed, tears in her eyes, "If we don't get her out, then when Rarity wakes up-"

"We're not abandoning her!" Starlight shouted, catching Dash's attention, "But if we get caught now, who's going to save Pinkie Pie and us?!"

Rainbow Dash groaned in frustration, but looked back at Pinkie Pie, who was now being tied up by the Shadows, "I'll save you, Pinkie Pie! I promise!"

"I know you will, Dashie!" Pinkie Pie cried, "I have faith in you!"

Rainbow Dash and Trixie ran through the Checkpoint. Starlight gave Pinkie Pie an apologetic look before pushing through the door, which vanished promptly after. Starlight was definitely going to be checking on Pinkie Pie as soon as she woke up.
