Spike the Corrupter - CYOA
Chapter 12: Back Home
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"It just doesn't make any sense," Twilight said as she rubbed her forehead. "First Spike and Smolder disappear, then Ember and the entirety of the Changeling Hive."
She was in the throneroom of Canterlot, standing before a table surrounded by some of her closest advisors. Captain Gallus, the head of her guard. Ocellus, the Changeling's leading diplomat - now defunct - and Starlight Glimmer, her closest friend and second in command.
"Two of Equestria's closest allies, and your closest advisor completely gone... That can't be good," Gallus said, his arms behind his back as he narrowed his eyes at the map of Equestria and it's neighboring kingdoms, his eyes narrowing even more at the sight of the Changeling Hive, which had been X'd out with red paint.
"Well, they didn't just up and leave. No, something had to have happened," Twilight said, before turning to Gallus.
Twilight hummed as she rubbed her chin. Turning to Ocellus she grimaced. "You've been awfully quiet Ocellus... is something on your mind?"
"It just doesn't make any sense..." Ocellus sighed, shaking her head as her eyes started to water slightly. "Why target my people? We aren't Equestria's strongest ally, and with Chrysalis gone, we didn't have any enemies. We didn't do anything to..."
"Calm down Ocellus. Just breathe." Starlight put a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright."
Ocellus sniffled as Twilight moved on, rubbing her forehead.
"Do we have any leads at all?" She asked, grimacing.
"Just the aforementioned white crystals that emerged from in and around the hive ma'am, alongside the signs of a battle outside. Our leading theory is that whatever attacked the hive was then attacked by Ember and her three hundred dragons. Then she disappeared too," Gallus explained, tapping on the map. "Other than that we entirely are in the dark."
Twilight shook her head and turned to the window. "Well, now that you've extrapolated, that's definitely the best theory we have. That means our new enemy is something you can fight, even if they lost. If they can fight it, that means it has to have a physical form. That means it's able to be tracked. I want you to send a troop of guards back to the hive to see if there is anything we missed. Any signs of where they could've gone. Once you do, we will send a more capable guard force to track down the enemy and report back anything they find."
She continued. "Meanwhile, Starlight. I want you searching the libraries to find if we have anything on mysterious white crystal growths. While you do that I will contact Celestia and Luna to see if they know anything. Understood?"
Gallus saluted. "Yes, ma'am!"
Twilight nodded down at him before flaring her wings and straightening her back. "Meeting dismissed."
Starlight and Gallus quickly nodded before going their separate ways, to carry out her orders. Ocellus hesitated for a moment before she turned to Twilight with a nod. "Please find them." She whimpered before she left to.
Unbeknownst to those in the room, however, a guard had been listening to them just outside the door. That guard cleared his throat as he saw them leaving, straightened his back, and walked away to continue his patrol.
Once his patrol passed a bedroom, however, he quickly ducked inside of it. The room was empty, save for a bed, a fireplace, and a desk. The guard set himself down at the desk and quickly wrote up a letter;
"Lord Spike,
They are onto you. They are currently sending troops to the former hive to track you down. I predict we only have a month before they find your citadel. I will do my best to stall them my lord. Until then;
All hail Lord Spike!
Carapace, his majesty's best spy."
With that done, the guard turned to the fireplace and activated his horn. With a beam of magic, the wood inside was ignited into a standard yellow and orange fire. Then, the guard reached down for a bag on his side. With a quick toss, he threw a handful of green sand into the fire. With a burst, the fire turned green as well. Then he simply threw the letter he wrote inside.
A burst of Smoke shot up through the chimney into the sky, before shooting off to the west.
The guard then nodded, stamped out the fire, and then turned to leave. As he did, his sight caught on a painting in the room he had missed so far, right by the door frame. A painting of Princess Twilight Sparkle. He raise an eyebrow for a moment as his vision caught on her tiara, featuring a Pink Gem in the middle. Though, thinking nothing of it, the guard merely shrugged and turned to leave.
Thorax cried out in ecstasy as he pressed his chest against Spike's, wrapping his arms around Spike's powerful neck. With a whimper, he raised his rear before spearing it down once again on Spike's mighty rod. Spike watched contently as Thorax impaled himself over and over on him, moaning like a trained whore. All the while, Ember and Smolder were between his legs, each of them going at one of his balls with their forked tongues, their draconic tails wagging like dogs.
He let out a groan, closing his eyes as he savored the sensations of Thorax's ass around his cock and the two dragons' tongues on his balls. He opened his eyes, his eyes falling onto the Kitsune - his newest general - standing next to his throne, flanked by Ishtar and Pharynx. In front of them was a small table with a map of the region on top.
"Two of the five kingdoms conquered, master," Pharynx said contently with a smile. "It won't be long until we conquer the rest."
"Good," Spike said, before a moan escaped his lips as Thorax impaled himself yet again.
"It's just a matter of time before we take everything under your control," Kisano said with a nod.
"Good."
"You know, master," Ember said, slowly pulling off his sack with a wet pop. "It's a good thing you decided not to kill the kitsune. They'll make good pets."
Spike laughed as Smolder took his balls in her mouth, sucking gently on them.
"That they will, and now that Twilight is searching for me, we definitely need to pick up the pace..." Spike said, thrusting up into Thorax. "Now all that matters is that I make the next move the right one..."
