Pharynx found himself completely dejected as he tore open the door to his room and marched inside, slamming it behind him with enough force to shake the entire room.

He found himself red with rage, so much so in fact, that he couldn't help but punch the nearest wall with enough force to put a hole into it.

"Damn it!" he cried out his frustration before dropping back onto his bed. Pharynx turned over towards his end table with a glare, only to stop when he saw what he had resting atop it.

A picture of him and Thorax, disguised of course, at a large pony amusement park. The two were young, having only barely matured out of the grub stage of changeling life. Thorax, in the form of a light blue pony with a deep grey mane, was smiling sheepishly while Pharynx himself was in a black form with red hair, an arm wrapped around his brother, giving him a loving noogie.

The picture was actually from the first infiltration mission of their lives. They were supposed to be out hunting down information on a way to conquer Equestria but they had decided to ditch their duties for a couple hours to go have a little fun. Chrysalis sure was pissy at the time, but it was worth it in the end.

Chrysalis had decided that Thorax was a bad influence on her eldest son. That he was making Pharynx weak. She always kept them separated from then on out, or at least tried to. When Pharynx had grown up fully, Chrysalis made it a habit of sending him out alone, away from the hive.

That meant Thorax was alone back at the hive, and when Thorax was alone, that meant he was a target, and the other changelings made sure to...

Pharynx decided not to think about that as he reached over to grab the picture, holding it close to his chest.

"Mom said you were dead. Thorax... why did I see you there? What did that bastard do to you?" He hissed.

Starlight looked up at Spike, fear in her eyes and pain in her chest. Spike stared back at her, a dark grin on his face.

"S-so is this the part where you have your way with me?" Starlight whimpered, which caused Spike's eyes to widen and his grin to disappear.

"What? No! Why would I ever do that? That is just... Gross!" Spike cried out as he recoiled in disgust.

Starlight raised an eyebrow. That was the honest to Celestia last thing she expected to hear. Wasn't she his slave now?

"Why would I ever go after a pony? You guys are the worst!" Spike shouted at her as he straightened his back and growled.

'There we go.' She thought rolling her eyes.

"God, you ponies are so... furry! It's gross! You guys get so matted and patchy after sex. Not to mention the stink bleh. I think dragons and changelings are much better for dicking in general. For one, they don't sweat as easily." Spike hissed, "I already wasted six years of my life chasing after one of your kind. She used me as a pin cushion."

"Well they why even keep me as a slave if that's the case," Starlight said back to him with a glare.

"Simple." Spike explained darkly as he leaned down, wrapping a hand around the front of her collar and pulling her into a seating position, his head an inch away from hers. "I'm using you as bait. No other reason. You are going to lure in Sombra and Twilight and I'll be able to deal with two of my problems at once."

Starlight looked up at Spike and whimpered which earned a 'feh' from the Draconic Emperor.

"Besides," Spike started as he pulled her into a standing position. The Emperor turned around and started to walk back towards his throne as he continued. "I am pretty sure I can win you over to my side of thinking." The stone around her hoof shattered, leaving her able to move again, not that she did. She didn't want to die.

That line completely stumped Starlight and left her motionless in the middle of the room. "Wait what?"

"I mean, I managed to do the same with my universe's version of you. Did you not notice that there isn't a statue of you in here?" Spike said as he plopped down onto his throne casually. "You used to be a prominent member of the resistance against me, but after I went ahead and stopped that changeling invasion a couple months back you switched sides, hard."

Starlight was completely speechless. How was that possible? What was wrong with her?

"Yeah, you practically begged me to take you in. I did, I am a merciful Emperor after all. I even let you settle down in Twilight's old Castle as Regional Governor of Ponyville. Haven't talked to ya in a couple months but last I heard you had used your wacky mind control powers to make your girlfriend think she was a dog." Spike said tapping the side of his head to simulate said powers.

"Pretty freakin hot if you ask me. Next time Starlight comes over I should ask if she could do the same to Thorax and Ember for a little. I would LOVE to see that." He mumbled to himself, as he reached around the back of his throne pulling out a hidden parchment and a quill.

Starlight felt like she was actually going to vomit. That sounded so sick! "W-why would I do that to Trixie! That is sickening! You're lying! I know it!" She cried out to him, somewhat tear-y eyed. Spike rolled his eyes and started writing.

"I assure you, it was completely consensual. Trixie is actually a pretty kinky slut, but I am sure you already knew that." Spike said as he finished and blew away the letter in a puff of green fire. "And you'll know if I was lying, which I am not."

Spike then stood up and started walking towards her. "And I'll have proof to back up my claim, because I just invited her over."

Starlight's jaw dropped. "You didn't..." She hissed at him.

"She'll be here in three days." Spike chucked before grabbing her by the throat and lifting her off the ground.

Starlight gasped and started clawing at the hand around her throat, which slowly tightened. "Let me get something perfectly clear." Spike growled menacingly. "You are here because I have decided you are a valuable resource. You displease me, you die. You wander too far away from me, you die. You touch Ember or Thorax? You will die and I will make it EXTREMELY painful. Capiche?"

Starlight rapidly bobbed her head in fright, which caused Spike to give a chipper smile and drop her to the ground.

"Good!" Spike said with a smile before gesturing for her to follow. "I want you in seeing distance at all times, and I am going to find a contingent of guards to keep an eye on the both of us at all times. That, and I am also going to need some servants to set you up a bed in my quarters, because I know your kind, and you will always find a way to sneak out unless I am always in the same room as you. Don't try any sneaky business either, no knives can pierce a dragons scales and you trying to kill me would be embarrassing for both of us."

Starlight meekly nodded. Spike knew all the tricks it seemed. She really was in a hopeless scenario.

Spike smiled back at her as he opened the door to his bedroom and pushed her inside rather harshly. "Mi casa, es tu casa." He hissed before noticing as Ember pulled herself out of bed and stalk towards him. Starlight saw that she actually seemed to struggle pulling herself off of Thorax.

"Oh, hey Ember, we do still need to talk huh... Here, let's take this outside and leave Starlight here wi-" He started before being silenced when the blue drake punched him in the face.

Hey, just letting all of you know, I have a discord now if you'd like a place to chat.
