S1 Ep1: Job commission (First strike arc)
Four elegantly crafted wine glass cups, with twisted etched design on the handle of the glass and gold endings on the rims of the glass, stood on an even more elegantly crafted white oak table in the center of the room. The glasses glistened under the evening sun that shone through the crack of the closed, beautifully crafted curtain of the medium-sized chiffon room were being filled with finely high quality brewed alcohol being poured by a phoenix.
The air in the room smelt of berries and ginger, giving the room a nice calm aroma. The nebulizer at the corner of the room dispersing the ginger scent that filled the room.
When the Phoenix was done a beautiful, elegant alicorn with a regal demeanor that sat at on a beautifully crafted arm chair, a plate of macrons on her leg, raised a hooved hand, signaling for the phoenix to step aside.
The phoenix had shoulder length spiky tomato red feathered hair, it swept along her well crafted shoulders that matched her tuscany orange feathered muscular framed body. Her F cups bounced as she stepped back, her long bird tail swished from side to side. Her fine face was adorned with ring and hook beak piercings that could attract anyone, she had a scar between her raspberry eyes, as well as on the rest of her toned body that was visible under her clothes, signifying that it’s been a while since someone powerful had threatened her life and that she was careless due to her species physiology.
She wore a dark turquoise blue tunic top that showed off a bit of cleavage, with darker blue armored leather fabric wrapped around the tunic that gave shape to her curves, the tunic stopped at the pelvis, slimly fitting on her body. She had an almost black pair of leather pants and knee-high boots fitted for her talons.
Her strong, muscular feathered wing arms and avian talons were decorated in tattoos with the design of the suns and stars.
“Thank you, Philomena.” The light grey coated alicorn smiled at her spouse. “That’ll be all for now.”
“Sure thang, sugar coat,” the phoenix chugged the bottle of expensive wine and turned to the other three, sitting quietly impatiently, waiting for the queen of Equestria to carry on with the meeting. “And if y'all need anythin', don’t.”
After making that statement and the guests seeming content enough with what they got, passing the macrons and alcohol amongst themselves, the phoenix turned her back on the guest and her spouse. She chugged more of the booze from the bottle, not really feeling any buzz due to her species physiology, but it’s better than nothing. She took a few steps towards the exit, feeling pleased with herself.
The purple dragon smirked on the pearl coach beside the lilac alicorn, “Oh come now, don’t tell me that you’ll leave your guest unattended,” he leaned back in his seat. “I might be feelin' peckish soon.”
The lilac mare spurted and choked on her macrons upon hearing his comment, the owl beast behind sitting on the finely designed cotton coach glared in disappointment in his terrible timing, and the light grey mare in front of her raised a quizzical eye brow with the crack of a smile on her maw.
Everybody’s attention was now on the dark orchid purple scaled dragon with lime green inner coloration from the lower jaw downwards his torso. His four curved backwards horns stuck out of his short chartreuse green spiky hair.
His bangs swept over his calm seafoam green eye with slit pupils, his pierced brows raised in an arch, his face was androgynous with piercings on his nose, nose bride and lips- more precisely the crack across his face from ear to ear that all reptilians had giving no descendible lips, like most mammals have. His twin tails swished behind him showing his pleasure in causing the uproar.
He had a fairly tones athletic build that looked very much androgynous, with fine muscular arm decorated in tattoos.
He wore a grey cotton shirt under a darker vest, slim fitted leather pants and shin level shoes made accustomed for dragonoid claw like feet.
Philomena snapped back at the purple dragon, her brows furrowed. “Why you little piece of-” Philomena stepped forward.
The light grey coat mare raised a hooved hand to still the fight that was about the break out between the two in her entertainment room. Philomena halted in her charge instantly in response to the orders of the queen of Equestria.
Philomena turned to her spouse, "Don't want me beatin' on your 'special people', sugar coats?"
The mare smiled at her, "Yes. Well no." She purses her lips , furrowed her brows in thought and her gaze dropped to the mercenaries that sat before her sipping on their alcohol and eating the macrons that were prepared. "I don't want you battling Spike and destroying my entertainment room, again. So this will have to wait to a later, dear."
Spike was about to add something to the conversation between the two rulers, but the lilac mare infront of him silenced him with a tail whip across the face.
Philomena crossed her arms and sighed softly, "Fine, sugar coat," she turned to Spike with a smug grin. "My sweet sugar coat has saved your scaly hide yet again, Spike." She cocked het head back and stared down at him. "But not next time. We'll settle this little spat in a spar after your mission is done."
The side of the crack that was Spike's mouth curled upwards, "Oh? And Is that any way to speak to a guest. My no wonder you don't show up much in events involving the crown."
The white and lilac mares chuckled at Spike's retort to the phoenix lord of Equestria's frequent absence at crown and diplomatic events.
Philomena's rage built up from hearing this and the laughter from the two mares she looked up to made it that much worse. Her feathered hair caught fire momentarily.
She snorted, putting her feathered arms on her hips, "Make all the dumb remarks you want, Spike." She cocked her head back. "But your ass is mine in a few days."
Philomena turned toward a reading tablet shelf- the shelf was knee high lined with tablets on it only having a few books in them, the only exit of the medium sized chiffon room.
The room had an oak table, couches, chairs and carpets in the middle in the room, a few painted portraits lined the walls if the room along with other decors around the room.
Philomena picked up a tablet and tapped on it for a few seconds. Suddenly the wall to the left of her opened up, splitting the stone apart to give way for passage, the sound of the walls moving echoing against the silent hallways of the empty halls of the restricted area in the castle.
Philomena blew a kiss, finger waved at her spouse and tapped her ass before leaving the room, the sound of her fat ass echoed through the empty halls of the wing of the castle. Philomena chugged more from the bottle of alcohol and the shut the wall-door behind her.
Celestia blushed beat red from the exit of her spouse, her mouth slightly open, drool rolling down the side of her face, unable to think as the sluttyness of her spouse has fried get brain.
Noticing the symptoms of 'horny makes your brain momentarily turn off' syndrome, the lilac mare cleared her throat.
"Celestia!" Twilight barked at the queen of Equestria, turning her attention to her. "You said that you had something urgent to discuss. Unless you called us out here to have a friendly discussion, I suggest you get the fuck on with it already!" The lilac mare furrowed her brows. "I don't like things deviating from the original plan."
Across from the mercenary group Celestia, a mare with shiny Light fuchsiaish gray coated mare that almost looked as if it shone in the light from the light in the room.
Her very light blue, green, purple and pink multi colored wavy mane swept across her toned form, sporting a J cup bussom. She had pricings along her equine ears.
Her light greyish magenta blinked at them blankly getting out of the horny dazed state that she was in moments ago.
She wore a sleeveless brick red thigh high dresses with black lace, black leggings, a loose white belt dropping to the side and ankle length high heel boots. Her body was adorned with multiple jewelry.
Celestia cleared her throat, "Yes, let us, Twilight. Before your partner interrupted with his usual provocative banter with my spouse."
Twilight glared back at Spike over her shoulders. Spike buried his face in slight shame in macarons from his bad habits getting the best of him.
Twilight turned back to the queen of Equestria, her violet eyes shone and focused on the alicorn before her in intrigue on the information that was about to be spilled to her.
She had very light markings covering her nose and mouth, as well as her firearms. She had pierced equine ears, eyebrows, wings, lips and tongue.
Her dark sapphire blue hair with brilliant raspberry streaked spiky top hair with bangs swept to the side and straight bottom hair swept across her shoulders.
She had a strong athletic body, with G-cup breasts.
She wore black latex top and bottom, a red coat with flared collars on top of this with black knee high boots.
Celestia begins, "We have a problem with a small town near the edge of Equestria called: 'ponyville'. The town has been getting a lot of unexplained happenings around it," Celestia did air quotes with her hooves.
Spike, Twilight and the owl beastkin exchanged uninterested glances from the tale that Celestia just weaved.
Noticing their disinterest Celestia though of ways to give the more information without endangering the safety of the kingdom of Equestria.
"So, what do you need us for, exactly?" Twilight folded her arm and raised an eyebrow. "Playing investigator for a small town in the boons isn't exactly our forte, Celestia."
Spike brought a macron to his maw before pausing, "And what kinda narcissistic pony name's a fucking town 'ponyville'?" He bit into his snack.
Celestia nodded, "I was fucking getting to that. The town has strange disturbance of mysterious property damage and residents getting killed by a powerful magic user for explorers going into the evergreen forest." Celestia gestured with her hooved hands. "So much so that the town is basically defenseless as of now."
Twilight nodded, she could see how stuff like this could warrant someone more skilled in handling dangerous foes to take on the threats within the evergreen forest. "So, what the fuck do ya need us for? After all this sounds like somethings some smuck adventure can handle." Twilight gestured her frustration with a roll of her hooved hands.
Celestia waved away her concerns on the matter, "What no, no. It's just the problem with incidents at the town."
Twilight didn't buy it for a minute, "There's more to this, isn't there?" Twilight placed her chin on her pivoted fist. "The timin' is too fuckin' perfect ya be just coincidence."
Celestia averted eye contact with the intelligent mare that somehow saw through her like glass.
"There is, isn't there?!" Twilight pressured even further, her eyes narrowing.
Celestia sighed heavily, avoiding eye contact, "You always were the smartest pick of the litter." Celestia dropped her head with a small smile on her face. Twilight. "I caint give you all the information, especially since you don't need to know most of it." She paused, her expression become serious for the first time. "The town is right next to the everfree forest. Which just spawned a new mana tree, I would be there to make a deal with their mayor and throw a party for the town for the new business ventures."
Spike and the owl beastkin simply nodded, knowing this much was just common knowledge at this point.
Twilight on the other hand was having a meltdown with a barrage if questions that flung to her all at once . She leaned back trying to calm her breath with her eyes shut and focus.
Twilight calmly opened her eyes, "I have multiple fucking questions for you." She paused and purses her lips. "But I guess all of them would be 'classified' info that you can't let someone like me know of."
Celestia smiled at the knowledgeable mare, bit into another macron, "Of course the knowledge can't be out at this time at least." She took some gulps of her rich alcohol. "You'll get some answers to your burning questions, but not all of it I'm afraid." She shook her head and sighed deeply.
The corners of Spikes mouth curled in a smug smile, "Heh, you guy's really mucked shit up. You let information like the mana tree get out and now you're scramblin' around to get people like us to fix yar problems that your people can't handle."
Twilight nodded in agreement tilting her head to the side slightly, "Yeah, it feels really irresponsible to let this shit happin."
Celestia chuckled softly her hooved hand over her maw, "Nhehehe! It was just an bad timing and the regionals not doing their fucking job," Celestia paused taking large gulps off her alcohol. "But, hey, at least we got some business from foreign kingdoms that got interested in our new mana tree," she lightly jerked the glass at them.
Twilight sighed, leaned back in he seat, "Fine." Twilight got up from her seat stretching. "Hm, get rid of the foreign dangers that threaten the lives of the residents of Ponyville." Twilight nodded to her self in thought for a moment. "Seems simple enough," Twilight turned her two partners behind her. "Spike, Oulie, what do you guys think of this?"
Spike gave this some thought before getting up, "Yeah, sure. This seems like it might be interestin' at the very least, so why not the fuck?" He shrugged lightly.
Oulie noticed the others actions got from their sitting position that she was in, jumped off the sofa she was on and simply nodded in agreement to doing the mission issued to all three of them by Queen Celestia.
Celestia smiled broadly at them seeing as the threats that are after the in Ponyville will be neutralized post haste by trusted individuals.
Twilight heaved a big sigh seeing s she and her team would be in for late minute work for a princess no less, "Aight, Spike let's be on our way."
Spike nodded, "Aye, Twi!" He inhaled deeply drawing in magic from his body and puffing his cheeks and letting out a mighty break of fire that engulfed all three of them in a green-purple swirl and as quickly as the fire consumed them it was gone and so were they.
Celestia sighed heavily, she place a hooved hand on the bridge of her nide and groaned in frustration. Now that things were set in motion in her favor she could rest some, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something terribly was about to unfold right under her nose.
