Anthony groaned in protest as his mind re-entered consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, trying to get a glimpse of the world after the explosion. He was looking up at the sky, not a cloud in sight. The sun had taken center stage, indicating half the day was over. He tried to push himself up, feeling the pain start to build. When he wouldn’t move easily, he pushed up a little harder, wondering why the suit wasn’t helping.
As Anthony’s vision cleared, he saw that the face plate was cracked and beyond use. He reached up and pulled off the helmet, the familiar seals not hissing. He sighed to himself, realizing the issue.
Damn, power’s out. Must have been an EMP-style blast. Anthony thought, throwing the helmet away.
Anthony looked down at the rest of his armor, seeing it was pretty banged up but in useable condition. If he could get the fusion reactors back on. Anthony used his arm for leverage as he pushed himself so he was lying on his side. With his left hand he felt around on his back until he found the switch to start up to the emergency, EMP-shielded generator. Instantly he felt the suit lose a lot of the bulkiness and he stood up.
Anthony now saw the damage from the single blast, and it made the field look like a true warzone. The whole area was flat, not a single mound of dirt protruded from the ground. He looked around and saw that Canterlot was fine, a barrier surrounded the city. Anthony sighed as he was glad that Luna was safe. Anthony did a quick inventory check, finding that he only had his pistol, energy sword, and one spike grenade.
This will have to do. Anthony thought to himself, moving towards where he believed was the F.O.B. He had placed it so that even a blast like that should keep the occupants mostly alive. And he was right as he arrived.
Shining Armor was standing with his squad, organizing the flood of injured that came in. The changelings had been able to stop Blackwing’s army, reducing it to nothing more than a bad dream. Shining Armor saw Anthony and quickly trotted over. Anthony was glad to see him.
“General, what happened?” Shining asked.
“Frankly, I don’t know. All I do know is that it was an explosion that was originated by either Nightmare Moon or Queen Chrysalis. The explosion was powerful enough that neither of them survived,” Anthony said, stating that the changeling queen was dead. Shining lowered his head in respect.
“And Blackwing?” Shining asked, hoping the same was true for the monster that started this.
“I don’t know, but if I was to guess I would say he survived too. But he is probable in worse shape than me, considering he was not in power armor,” Anthony said, knowing that it was a miracle he had survived.
“Then what are your orders?” Shining asked, keeping professional.
“We surrender to Canterlot.” This confused Shining Armor greatly.
“Wait, we surrender to Canterlot? Sir, may I ask why?”
“Because if Blackwing is defeated, then this is the perfect time to surrender for it shows that our goal was only to defeat Blackwing. If he is not gone, then it will provide you with a safe haven,” Anthony replied, his military mind working.
“Yes sir. Do you wish me to inform Princess Scarlet of the news?” Shining asked, knowing that it would be best if she knew.
“No, I’ll see to it myself. She’ll need someone who knows her. When I get back, I want us ready to move,” Anthony said, sadness evident on his face.
“Yes sir, and good luck,” Shining said, turning and following his orders.
“Ya, we all need some,” Anthony whispered to himself. He moved away, heading towards the base camp at the edge of the Everfree Forest.
He was at the half-way point, realizing it was actually a very long distance. A small contingency of changelings were arriving at his position, him knowing that only Scarlet was the one with a changeling guard. They landed around him, setting up a defensive perimeter around the Spartan. Scarlet landed in front of him and hugged the hulking human, some of fears vanishing.
“I’m glad you’re okay,” Scarlet said, not letting go.
“I will be, but you need to know a few things first,” Anthony said, hardening his heart for what he will have to do. “We will be surrendering to Canterlot, so be prepared for anything. I don’t know what state Celestia is in, but I know it isn’t good.”
“Okay, we talked about this before. Anything else?” the changeling princess asked.
“Ya, you’re not going to like this. That explosion was caused by either Nightmare Moon or your mother, I don’t know which. Unfortunately the explosion was so powerful that neither of them could have survived it. I’m sorry, but Queen Chrysalis is dead,” Anthony finished, preparing himself for the emotion that was too come.
Scarlet was torn. Her love had made it through, but she had lost her mother. And so soon after returning from to her, now they will never be together again. Scarlet did the only thing she could do, and she cried. Tears flowed freely from her eyes, rivers formed down her cheeks and down her chin. Anthony held her the whole time, keeping his emotions hidden inside.
He was also sad about this, but he had to be strong. He couldn’t look at her though, for if he did he didn’t know if he would be able to keep the tears back either. Chrysalis had become something of a mother to him as well, and he was wishing it hadn’t come down to what it had. But he had to be practical, and crying over the dead was not being practical. Nothing could be done, so he saved his tears for later in silence.
Scarlet cried for what seemed like hours but was only a few minutes. She finally stopped and released herself from Anthony’s grasp. He green eyes were red and puffy, the crying have an obvious effect on her. She didn’t say anything, her not wanting to cry more. Anthony only nodded and picked her up, carrying her back to Shining Armor.
The guards had a hard time keeping their eyes dry too, but they were professional solders and had a job to do. They kept the formation mostly tight, not perfect but it didn’t need to be. The walk back was just as long, Anthony wanting to give Shining as much time as he could to organize the changelings. The group finally arrived in time to see that the changelings were ready to move.
Anthony put Scarlet down, knowing that she needed to look strong for her subjects. They walked into camp, heading straight for Shining Armor. Shining saluted Anthony, receiving a salute in return. He then turned to Scarlet and bowed, paying the proper respects. Shining led the two to a small table so they may discuss the next part carefully.
“Shining, I wanted us ready to go right when I got back,” Anthony said.
“I know, and we are. I just want us to have a plan of surrender. I don’t want to get screwed,” Shining said, his concerns noted.
“I get that, but a plan has already been made. Both Princess Scarlet and Queen Chrysalis had formed a plan, in the even that only one of them would be going to Canterlot,” Anthony replied.
“Yes sir, than we are ready to move now,” Shining said.
“Then raise the white flag. We’re moving out,” Anthony said, earning a salute from Shining Armor which he returned.
“I want to be at the front,” Scarlet said to Anthony. He just nodded and the two walked to the front of the army.
A Changeling ran over with the flag and gave it to Anthony. He flew it high, higher than necessary but he didn’t want to give Celestia a chance to attack us. The whole changeling race turned and walked towards Canterlot, not a weapon in sight. The Canterlot guards prepared for a trick, but one never came. The changeling race moved forward with no impediment.
They made it to the front gate, unable to enter because of the barrier. A welcoming party was present, them all Princess Celestia’s personal guard. Celestia herself was present to greet them. Anthony internally moaned at this, but kept a blank expression outside. The army halted and Anthony planted the flag in front of the army, him and Scarlet moving forward alone. They came up to the barrier and Celestia, Anthony saluting and Scarlet bowing. This through Celestia off and she quickly recovered, but didn’t return either of their gestures.
“What brings you to my city?” Celestia asked, arrogance dripping like venom.
“We are here to surrender to Equestrian Authority,” Scarlet said, keeping her pride.
“And who are you to surrender to me?”
“I am Princess Scarlet of the changelings, the ruler of the changelings,” Scarlet said, looking Celestia in the eye.
“What of Queen Chrysalis? Where is she?”
“My mother passed away in combat with Nightmare Moon. I am the heir to the throne, and I have taken it to prevent anarchy in my nation.”
“What are you doing with a traitor to Equestria?” Celestia gestured to Anthony, who puffed out his chest. He still disliked Celestia.
“He found me while I was in banishment. He has been essential to the repair of the Changeling Kingdom. He was the one who warned us of Blackwing, and formed us up to face him and his army,” Scarlet replied, still being professional.
“And do you know who you are speaking to?” Celestia asked.
“Princess Celestia, Co-Ruler of Equestria,” Scarlet replied.
“No, I no longer share my power. I am now Queen Celestia, Sole Ruler of Equestria,” Celestia said, her arrogance rising to new levels. Anthony was now tired of listening.
“What’ve you done to Luna?” he asked, concern obvious on his face.
“Nothing, yet. I have her locked up in her room; this is where she will remain until I can have her put on trial. She had challenged my rule and I was forced to remove her from power,” Celestia said, fear entering Anthony’s heart.
“If you hurt her, I swear that you will not enjoy the outcome,” Anthony said, staring daggers at Celestia.
“Is that a threat?” Celestia said, looking for a reason to not accept their surrender.
“No, that’s a fucking promise,” Anthony said, cuasing Celestia to flinch. And smile.
‘Well, I don’t think I can speak with such barbarians. If I cannot speak with somepony civilized, then I might as well just send you all to the dungeons,” Celestia said, her tactic working perfectly.
“He shall not be at the discussion. You will be speaking with me and me alone. I wish for the issues of the past to be mended with this generation. We shall full cooperate with you and your forces,” Scarlet said, lowering her head in respect. Celestia just smiled, knowing that she could do anything she wanted with no consequence.
“If we are to have a civil conversation, I want him locked up. He is a traitor to Equestria and has broken the terms of his banishment. He must be locked up so he can go to trial,” Celestia said, her grin growing and becoming even more sinister.
“You fucking bit-” Anthony started, but was cut off by Scarlet.
“Fine, you can have him,” Scarlet agreed. Anthony started to argue, but was again cut off. “I don’t have time. I don’t want you gone either, but it is the only way to get my subjects to safety if Blackwing isn’t dead. Now you will submit to Equestrian control.”
“Fine,” Anthony said, visible angered.
“Excellent, Guards! Arrest the traitor,” Celestia said, allowing the changelings to enter the barrier and taking Anthony into custody.
Canterlot Castle: Princess Luna’s Room
Luna sat in her room, wide awake. She couldn’t sleep and knew that it wasn’t health, but her anxiety over the battle was too great. Luna tried to look out her windows, but Celestia had sealed the curtains shut with her magic. Luna sighed as she waited for her subject to return.
After being locked in her room, Luna found that a portion of the guard were loyal to her. They knew that Blackwing was mad and agreed with Luna on the issue. They had been feeding Luna information every rotation, keeping her up to date on the happenings of Canterlot. It was good, because if she needed to lead a rebellion against her own sister, then so be it.
“Princess Luna,” the guard said at her door.
“Are we alone?” Luna asked, seeing if the guard was friendly.
“As alone as the sun at night,” the guard said, speaking the password to Luna.
“Good. What has happened?”
“The changelings have surrendered. Celestia has taken them all into the castle and placed them in a rundown bunker. She has guards posted all over the building. Captain Armor and his squad were with them. They were taken to the dungeon for trial. Anthony was also with them.”
Luna perked up at her love’s name. she had missed being with him and she knew that one day he would return, she also knew what would happen on that day.
“What has Celestia done with him?”
“He was taken to the dungeon as well, covered in a magical aura from Celestia herself. She doesn’t want him escaping.”
Luna nodded, knowing that Celestia would do that. She thought of how she could see him, if for nothing more than to just see him.
“I need to see him.”
“Princess, I don’t know if I can. I don’t have authorization to bring ponies to the dungeons. But I know somepony who can. I’ll try to get him to switch with me and take you down there.”
“Thank you. I am most grateful to you.”
“Think nothing of it Princess, we are loyal to you and shall remain so.”
With that the guard knocked on the door three times, their conversation having to end for somepony was coming. Words were spoken, but Luna didn’t pay attention. She moved from the door and lay on her bed, positioning herself so that she was lying on her side. She rubbed her bugling belly, feeling the foal inside move slightly. She smiled at the thought of the foal that she was going to have.
She was lost in thought when food was slipped under her door. The lunar princess used her magic to levitate the food over to where she laid. A slip of paper was under the sandwich, telling her that password for the next guard was “The Moon has risen.” Luna giggles a little at the thought. She finished eating, wishing it was more. The baby was eating more and more, Luna knowing that she had to eat more than normal. Celestia was going to pay for what she was doing, and Luna was going to ensure that it did.
She tried to rest for a little bit, her not even supposed to be awake at the time. She was finally about to find sleep, she dreamt of Anthony and the few days they were able to have. She swam in her dreams, enjoying each memory that came through her mind. She was enjoying the memories so much that it was a surprise when a knock came to her door.
Luna woke with a start, trying to remember the bits of her dream. She sighed as she knew that only her contacts knocked on the door. She got up and walked to the door, waiting to hear the pass phrase.
“The Moon has risen,” a voice said on the other side. Luna didn’t recognize it, but she didn’t know all the voices of her guards. The only hint was that it was masculine.
“When do we leave?”
“Five minutes. I have created a window where only your loyalists will be working in the dungeons. You will have an hour of talking time, so use it wisely.’
“Thank you.”
“No thanks are needed; we are your loyal subjects. We will do as you say, no matter what it is.”
Luna only nodded and waited. The next five minutes would be the longest, but she would wait years if it meant she could see him.
Canterlot Castle: Dungeons
Anthony was sitting in his cell, arms chained up on the wall. The Equestrians had removed his armor, knowing that it gave him an edge against them. His head hung low, not knowing what was happening with Luna. A single tear threatened to roll down his cheek. He heard the dungeon door open, not caring who was coming in.
Probable Queen Celestia to gloat over her supposed victory. Anthony thought, anger now rising. He pulled lightly on the chains, feeling them groan in protest. He smiled to himself, knowing that these chains could be broken with enough effort. He was lost in thought when somepony came up to his cell door.
“Anthony,” a voice whispered a voice that he instantly recognized. He looked up and was filled with a pure joy. At the barred door was Princess Luna.
“Luna,” he replied, a smile growing on his face. “Are you okay?”
“I should be asking you that, but yes I am,” Luna answered, alleviating some of his fears.
“I thought you were under house arrest, locked in your room?” Anthony asked, wondering how she was there.
“There are still Royal Guards who are loyal to me. These past few days have been a real eye opener for some of them. I unfortunately have an hour here before the shift change,” Luna said, understanding coming to Anthony.
“Then let’s not waste our time,” Anthony said.
“Yes. Sergeant, may you remove these chains?” Luna asked a guard.
“Yes, Princess, as you command,” the male guard said, opening the jail door and moving in. The guard levitated a key over and undid the shackles, releasing Anthony’s hands. He gripped his wrists, restoring circulation to his hands.
Anthony stood up, feeling his legs get the proper circulation they needed. He refocused on the occupants of the room, when he was tackled by a massive blue object. This object was Princess Luna, who was now lying on top of her love. He was surprised by this, but he didn’t hate it. He wrapped his arms around Luna, holding her in his embrace.
Luna pulled her head back so that she was looking him in the eyes, love the only thing evident in her blue eyes. She leaned forward and planted a passionate kiss on the human’s lips, which he returned to the lunar princess. They remained in this position neither of them wanting the moment to end. They finally broke from the kiss to get air into their lungs. They just stared at each other, not knowing that they were being watched.
“Well, well, sister. I knew you had guards that were still loyal to you, but I didn’t know they were this loyal,” a voice said behind the two. Anthony and Luna looked and found that Celestia was standing at the door, a pair of her guards on either side of her.
“Or not really loyal. Sergeant, you have done good. Now go arrest the rest of the unloyal guards. I want them all in one area that I can keep an eye on them,” Celestia said, smiling at how it was so easy for her to win. “Oh come on, did you really think that it would have been this easy to enter my dungeon. And now that you’re here, I can lock you away like the bitch you are.”
“Go screw yourself, bitch,” Anthony said, moving Luna off of himself. He stood up, standing over the solar princess.
“Oh, now is that anyway to speak to a queen?” Celestia asked.
“No, but at least I’m not speaking to a queen,” Anthony jabbed back, pissing Celestia off.
“Why you arrogant insect-fucker! If it wasn’t for your imminent execution, I would teach you proper manners,” Celestia said angrily.
“Ya, I’m sure I could learn a thing from the Queen of Bitchiness. Fuck you,” Anthony spat out, clinching up his fists.
“How dare you! What gives you the right to speak to me in this manner?” Celestia asked her ego visible hurt.
“I’m the ass who just saved you from domination and slavery by Blackwing. I think that you should be the one bowing to my ass, begging for forgiveness,” Anthony shot back, causing Celestia to growl in pure hatred.
“Guards! Lock this cell; I don’t want either of these traitors leaving this room. Give them only one serving of food, I’m sure the human can go a few days without a meal. And my former-sister might do well with less food anyway, my time of generosity is over,” Celestia said, turning and leaving the room but stopped a few steps away. “I want the human in my chamber tonight; I think I’ll teach him a lesson tonight before he dies.”
“You fucking Bitch! Come back here so I can kick your fat ass!” Anthony yelled out the jail door at Celestia, anger growing in him. The dungeon door closed with a slam, the dungeon now turning silent.
Anthony slumped down on the floor, taking the defeat hard. He sighed as he hung his head, his hate dissipating and being replaced with failure. He looked over to Luna and she moved and held him in her loving embrace. No words needed to be spoken, for they both knew what the other was thinking and neither wished to voice the fate which had been predefined by Celestia. Tears fell down each of their faces, both knowing that their predicament was dire.
Outside Canterlot
Blackwing pulled his damaged body out of the dirt, his strength falling quickly. He looked up and found that the day was mostly gone. He cursed himself for not being stronger. He started to walk towards Canterlot, knowing a few places there to hide while he healed. He held one arm in claw, it hanging limply on his side. Anger front in his mind.
I shall kill that human, no matter who is standing in my way. Blackwing thought, seeing the shadow of a single alicorn fly to him. He looked up and saw that it was Princess Celestia. Maybe I can kill one of these rulers, making it easier later.
“Blackwing, I have come to offer you my assistance,” Celestia said, landing in front of the anthromorph.
“And why should I accept your help?” he asked, knowing he had no other option.
“Because, we both want a certain human dead. He is scheduled to be executed tomorrow at high noon. I want you to do the honor,” Celestia said, knowing that the anthromorph would not want to miss an opportunity like this. He smiled at the prospect.
“You have a deal, Princess Celestia,” Blackwing said.
“It’s Queen now, I have renounce Luna from royalty. I have sole control over Equestria now,” Celestia said, making Blackwing grin even wider.
This dumb bitch has just advanced my plans for me. Blackwing thought, bowing to Celestia.
“Of course, my Queen,” Blackwing said, appealing now to her ego. Celestia just smiled.
“Good, now let’s move you to the castle. You have much recovery needed if you’re to be ready tomorrow.” Celestia then levitated the weak monster and flew them both back to Canterlot.
Celestia’s Bed Chambers
Anthony lay chained to Celestia’s bed. It was big and cushy, conforming to his form easily. Anthony pulled at his chains, finding them to be stronger than any other metal. He knew that they were enchanted, and even with his Spartan strength he wouldn’t be able to remove the shackles. He had been there about ten minutes before Celestia walked into the room.
Anthony glared at her, hating every second he had to spend with her. Celestia just smiled, knowing that this was torture to him. She closed the door, using her magic to seal the door. She then walked up to the side of the bed, leaning over to speak into Anthony’s ear.
“Do you know you’re here?” she asked, seduction in her voice.
“To be a bitch, if I was to guess,” Anthony said, his defiance still high.
“To teach a lesson,” Celestia replied.
“Ya, then you’ll be disappointed. I’m a pretty poor learner,” Anthony said, still glaring at her.
“I didn’t say it was to teach you a lesson. I still have to deal with my sister. This lesson is to show that I have full control, and to wipe out any form of rebellion in her,” Celestia said, using her magic to pull back a curtain. Behind it was Luna, her mouth gagged and a magic inhibitor on her horn. She was shackled to the ground, her head held so that she had to watch what was about to happen on the bed.
“My dearest sister, you will learn that my word is will. And I think that this is the best way to show it. By making love with the very one who you are about to have a child with,” Celestia said, shocking both Anthony and Luna with what she said.
“You bitch, and what make you think I’ll let you?” Anthony said, gritting his teeth.
“Why, my newest toy, you don’t have a choose. You see, all I have to do is freeze your movements and use my magic to get an arousal out of you. And then just enjoy myself,” Celestia said, an evil grin growing on her face.
Luna’s eyes grew wide as she realized that she sister was going to rape her lover. Anthony just grew even more angry, achieving a new level of hate. He started to pull on his chains, attempted to free himself from the rape he was about to experience.
“Oh, no. I think that you’ve had enough freedom,” Celestia said, her horn was engulfed in her magic. She then aimed at Anthony and hit him the magic.
He was immediately immobilized, the thrashing halting. Celestia walked up and planted a kiss on his frozen lips, looking at her sister squirm the whole time. She used her magic to teleport his clothes away, leaving him naked on her bed. She then moved so her head was over his crotch.
Celestia smiled as she took his limp dick into her mouth, sucking on it to being her teaching. She felt it start to harden, knowing that her spell was working. She started to bob up and down on his hardening member, sucking him in deeper down her throat. She finally pulled off it with an audible pop, looking over his enlarge cock. It stood at attention, it throbbing with each pulse of his heart.
“Now Luna, you get to see me enjoy your special somepony. And when I’m done with him, I’m going to fuck you so hard that you’ll have no choose but to cum,” Celestia said, her insanity revealing itself in full view of her sister.
Celestia went back to sucking on Anthony’s cock, sticking it down her throat. Celestia was actually enjoying the feel of his member in her mouth. The shape alone was enough to get her wet, but with how it felt deep in her throat was enough to send her to one of many orgasms she was going to experience that night. She felt her juices flow down her legs, enjoying how the heat coming off her vagina.
Celestia got on the bed and really worked on Anthony’s member, pumping it in and out of her mouth with increased speed. Celestia was eventually rewarded with the spurts of seed from the human.
Celestia shoved her head all the way down on his member, sliding it down her throat. He deposited his seed deep down her throat, it traveling the rest of the way to her stomach. Celestia pulled herself off his still rock hard member, a look of minor satisfaction on her face.
“I can see why you like him, he is quite delicious,” Celestia said, cleaning up the rest of his member. Luna had tears rolling down her face, knowing that she was helpless and forced to watch this offensive before her eyes.
Celestia then moved herself up, aligning herself to be impaled by Anthony’s thick member. She stole one last glance and Luna and smiled, sliding down onto his cock. Celestia shuddered at the first few inches, forgetting how tight she was. Celestia stopped caring and impaled herself the rest of the way down, cuming after she had him bottom out in her. She rode this one for a few minutes, it more intense than before.
She could feel his tip rubbing against her cervix, the feeling increasing her arousal even more. Celestia pulled up until she was half out and slammed herself down onto his cock, pleasure running through her body. Celestia repeated this process for a few minutes, trying to get him even deeper into her. She finally succeeded as she felt his tip push just past her cervix.
Celestia cam hard, force a river of vaginal fluid onto Anthony’s crotch. She kept bouncing on him, loving the feeling of him being so deep inside her. Her vaginal walls milked his hard cock, trying to get him to unload his seed directly into her womb. After much effort, Celestia was again rewarded with what she wanted. She felt his cum enter her womb, felling it up.
Celestia looked down at her normally flat belly and found a bugle, one that indicated where her womb was. She felt the torrent of semen enter her, feeling it fill her. She enjoyed the feeling so much that she cam again and again.
After what felt like an eternity to her, Celestia finally got off of Anthony. Her sister had huge globs of sperm flowing out of her vagina. She looked at her sister and smiled, walking over and whispering in her sister’s ear.
“Now you see, anything I want, I get,” Celestia said, moving away and disappearing from view.
Luna cried. She cried as she was taken back to her shared cell. She cried when Anthony was brought back in naked, his clothes just thrown on the floor. She cried when he woke and hugged her, trying to comfort her to no avail. She cried when she felt the foal kick, for fear that this is the world that her child would be coming into to.
No, my child shall not live in a world ruled by a tyrant. I shall ensure that a world like that is not around when my foal is born. But how? Luna thought, looking at the sleeping form of Anthony and curling up with him. I hope he has a plan, or else I don’t want to think of what might happen.
Luna and her lover slept on the hard dungeon floor, wrapped in each other’s embrace. Neither wanted to let go of the other, and neither one wished to be apart from the other again. They slept like this, as the chopping block was prepared for Anthony.
