Becoming One With The Beat
Chapter 9: Chapter 8: The Things I Do For Love
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAlthough the sound of Luna's dream spell was relatively quiet, it still managed to leak through her chamber walls and into Celestia's sleeping ears. They twitched once or twice before the sound finally awoke her. Groaning, she stretched and looked outside of the window facing her bed. The moon was low into the western night sky, suggesting that morning was near. She got up out of her bed, her magnificent mane somehow perfectly straight and perfect after being in bed for hours. Whisping magical sounds grew louder as she approached the door separating their two rooms. The doorknob glowed with a golden aura as Celestia's magic began to turn it; she was surprised to find that it was unlocked since her sister usually preferred seclusion during the night.
Her magic opened the door slowly and she peeked into the room with one eye through the slight crack. She looked into her room thoroughly until she finally realized her sister had hid herself behind her bed curtains to use her dream spell. After closing Luna's door gently, she sneaked back into bed, trying not to make a sound. Her bed made one or two squeaks as she got back in, and she made a mental reminder to have the maids replace the mattress before letting out a long sigh of relief. It always concerned her when Luna was channeling spells in private.
The memory and fear of nightmare moon still plagued her conscience.
A faint skittering noise fell undetected from her ears.
You noticed that you were looking around Luna's chambers yet again, partly because of how beautiful it was, but mostly because you were trying to stall her. It wasn't the simplest of questions. Both answers had consequences. Saying "yes" might get you points for honesty, but it would most certainly make Luna question your loyalty to her. If you said "no", it might make her think you're sympathetic, but she might think that you're just lying to try to get on her good side.
However, a worse response would be silence. You went with your gut and stuck with how you truly felt about Luna.
"N... no."
Luna raised an eyebrow and her expression of interrogation diminished slightly. You could tell that your answer wasn't what she expected. She recomposed herself.
"Why would you think that?" On a side note, you noticed that she had dropped her usual "thous" and "shalls". Perhaps it was because she felt comfortable around you, or maybe her Canterlot accent was just for show after all.
Your answer came calmly and from the heart, no longer worried about what impression you might or might not be making on Luna
"Well... I just don't think it was fair. Nothing against your sister personally, but I think your punishment was a little too severe. I mean... a thousand years?" You paused for a bit and looked down.
"If I had a little sister, I wouldn't do anything like that to her... regardless of what she might have done. I guess... if I truly loved her, I would forgive her."
Luna's tone completely softened and she moved closer to you.
"You... really think so?" To your surprise, you could see her eyes watering up.
"Of course. A-are you alright?"
She obviously wasn't. You leaned towards her and put a hand on her hoof and smiled to try and reassure her.
"It's okay, Luna, I'm sure your sister regrets doing-"
You were interrupted by a large hug from Luna. Her neck fur mashed into your face and you could feel tears dripping down from her cheeks onto the back of your neck.
"I... I was so frightened... I thought I would never come back..."
Wrapping your arms around her waist, you tried to console her as best you could. Although you could never have empathy for somepony who was banished for one thousand years of solitude, you still felt like you had to at least try. You stroked her fur and held on to her while telling her it was okay and that she was here and that was all that mattered. The emptying of her bottled emotions warmed your heart as well, and it gave you a sense of accomplishment to know that you had earned what you assumed was her respect.
On a lesser note, her fur smelled blissful, like a mix between lavender and... cherries?. You couldn't help but take large whiffs of it through your nostrils as she let out the last few drops of tears.
"Are you okay now, Princess?" She let you go and sat back on her pillow wiping her eyes with her hooves; she quickly regained her composure.
"Y-yes Alex... I'm sorry about that… I have yet to meet anypony who has such sympathy for my situation." Her gaze drifted down towards her hooves out of shame and embarrassment.
"Like I was saying, I'm sure your sister regrets doing that to you, and I'm certain that she loves you very much. But however unfair it may be, dwelling on the past won't fix anything; no offense."
She finished sniffing her runny nose one last time and smiled, "Yes, that's correct, Alex. Perhaps the reason why I... changed back then was because I could not let go of the past."
A sudden realization hit you and you were immediately aware of the weight that the conversation held. You had almost forgotten that Princess Luna had once been Nightmare Moon, and talking about her banishment was risky. You didn't quite understand the mechanics of her transformation into Nightmare Moon, but assuming it was caused by a deep negative emotion, you decided to tactically change the subject.
"Maybe. But we've all done things we regret, trust me." You joked and rolled your eyes to try to lighten the atmosphere.
Luna giggled a bit, which lifted your spirits. "I suppose you are correct." She regained attention and got back on topic. "Very well then, next question."
"Shoot."
She looked down at you, puzzled. "S-shoot? Shoot what? I see nothing that merits being fired upon..." You paused for a second then realized how stupid you probably sounded to her right about now.
"Uh... never mind. Continue."
"Have you felt sexually attracted to anypony since your arrival here?" Luna held back her smile of excitement. Now was her chance. The question made your face instantly flush red. Determined not to look guilty, you took a breath and tried to slow your pounding heart rate. Applejack would've had a tough time handling this, but thankfully, you were quite gifted in covering lies.
"N-no, of course not... why?"
"So your meeting with Miss Vinyl Scratch after my celebration wasn't sexual?" She asked rhetorically, but not angrily. Your lie was shot and you had no other option but to admit to it.
You let out a large exhale. "Okay... I'm sorry, we had sex. I-it was just so tempting and..."
Luna put a hoof up to your lips to shush you and smiled a bit. "It is alright. To be frank, I quite enjoyed watching it." Her face inched closer to yours and her eyes seemed to stare through your soul. The sudden embarrassment of realizing that she had watched your intimate encounter flowed through your veins quickly and made your face flush bright red.
"Y-you watched us?!"
"Yes... I'm sorry, Alex, but..." Her eyes looked down at the ground in introspection and her tone grew solemn. "I have not lain with another stallion in so long... My body tortures me with the urge to mate every lonely night."
She brought her eyes up and her dark blue cheeks blush a bit. "Can you please... assist me?"
Your heart jumped up into your throat and began to beat heavily as the weight of her inquiry pressed into your hormones. Getting laid by a princess (even though you guessed that Twilight would also count) would probably be a once in a lifetime opportunity but...
"Princess Luna, I'm sorry but..." You used all the integrity you could possibly summon. "Me and Vinyl... We..."
Luna traced her hoof down your chest and her eyes fixated on it. "Alex... please. She doesn't have to know." She bit her lip and unbuttoned one of your shirt buttons. "It's just you and me in this dream..."
Apart from being stunned by Luna's sudden sense of desperation, you began to slowly melt under her gaze and your body began to heat up lustfully as you found your eyes drifting down her slender curvy body.
"I promise that I will make it good for you too, Alex..."
You let out a large sigh and surrendered to her advances. As your body relaxed you whispered into her ear.
"Okay..."
A sudden lewd expression on Luna's face heightened your curiosity. She turned around and strutted provocatively towards her bed, swinging her hips and revealing her moist marehood. You stood still and just watched as Luna's royal charm worked its magic on you. Your crotch began to tighten against your pants. She climbed up on her bed and swung the royal blue bed curtains out of the way then proceeded to lay on her side and pull her hind legs up to her chest, completely exposing her ass to you. She rubbed her hoof across her plot cheeks sensually and then spanked one of them lightly as she licked her lips and narrowed her eyes.
"Come and satisfy your princess, Sir Alex..."
You took a big gulp to try and swallow the lump in your throat and walked toward Luna's bed, peeling off your shirt and pants on your way. You had no need to stimulate your cock to get it hard and ready, Luna's raw round royal rump saw to that. You had just dropped your underwear when she pulled her ass cheeks back to reveal her dripping wet pussy which spiked your hormone levels. You thought it would be rude to simply dig right into the main course, so you decided to play with her first.
You bent down and gave light kisses to the inside of her thighs as you grasped her leg and lifted it upward, fully exposing her marehood. If what she said about not getting laid in over a thousand years was true, you assumed that she would be extremely sensitive, and her loud moan that came just from you kissing her inner thighs proved just that. You closed your eyes and savored the taste of her already damp fur.
"Oh Alex... Please proceed to do that higher up..."
You figured she wouldn't be one to use exceptionally dirty language, but her divine and perfect body made up for it. You continued to give gentle pecks further up her inner leg until you were within licking distance of her pussy. You circled your tongue around her outer lips to tease her more. You could feel her legs shaking slightly, which was a sure-fire way of telling that what you were doing was turning her on immensely.
You suddenly felt a hoof at the back of your head and before you knew it, Luna was pushing your head down right into her marehood. You got a full potent taste of her juices and, taking the hint, immediately began to flatten your tongue and lick up her opening again and again. Her throbbing to your stimulation came with more frequent moans escaping her lips and you found your head being squeezed in between her inner thighs. Her body convulsed and her muscles pushed her waist into your tongue involuntarily. Picking up the pace, you moved your tongue up and dragged the flat of your tongue against her swollen stimulated clit, making her nearly yell and pull your hair almost enough to hurt you. As she pulled your head out from between her hind legs, you sat stationary with her juices dripping from your tongue. She pushed you back and sat up on her knees before bending her head down against the bed sheets and lifting her ass in the air, spreading her legs.
"Enter me, Alex. I cannot bear it any longer..."
You sat up on your knees as well and pushed the head of your rock hard cock against her opening. After grabbing on to both of her plot cheeks you slowly pushed yourself inside of her. Ecstasy instantly enveloped you as you came to realize how incredibly tight she was. It was like having a sex with a clean virgin times fifty. You found yourself having to push hard to reach all the way inside of her even though she was very wet. Luna's intense moans were muffled by the bed sheets that she had pushed her face into for just that reason. You looked down and realized that all the pushing you had been doing had only granted you half of your cock's access inside of her. Impatient and filled with lust, you rammed inside of her as hard as you could, which was followed by a loud moan from you and a muffled yell from Luna as the entirety of Luna's tight walls gripped around your thick throbbing dick.
Your first few thrusts loosened her up a bit, but it was still much tighter than any pussy you had ever entered. One thousand years of abstinence made Luna into a super-virgin, and the effects that her marehood was giving you were heavenly. You knew that at this rate, you wouldn't last long, and neither would she. If she was this tight, it only meant that you felt just as huge to her. Your thrusts became faster and more fluid as you braced yourself against her back and leaned forward slightly. The slapping sounds of your balls hitting her upper pussy and clit filled the room.
"Ahhhhnn! Ahhhhh! S-Sir Alex, I'm very close!"
The fact that she had resorted back to using your surname annoyed you slightly, but it wasn’t annoying enough to make you stop. You spurred into her, bringing about her orgasm instantly as the tip of your cock prodded the entrance of her womb. Her yell nearly busted your eardrums and her entire body locked up as her pussy strangled your penis, sucking all of the life out of it. The sudden stimulation from her orgasm tipped you over the edge as well, and your orgasm was close. But not close enough.
After Luna came down from cumming, her body fell limp onto the bed, even though you remained inside of her. Sensing that you had not finished, she summoned what energy she had left and got up on her knees, turning around to face you. Her head was eye level with your soaked hard cock. Without warning, she shoved it into her mouth and began sucking back and forth, creating a blissful vacuum effect. It was all the stimulation you needed and with a loud grunt and a thrust forward into her throat, you released your hot steaming semen into it as she gulped it all down. She pulled away and, after the last few spurts flew onto her face, she licked her lips clean.
You fell back onto her bed, worn out and exhausted. After Luna did some sort of magic spell to clean the semen from her face, she laid next to you and, to your surprise, cuddled up to you like a sibling. It was completely against Luna's royal and proper character to do so, but she looked so adorable curled up in a ball against you that you didn't care. You laid back on the velvet pillow and relaxed.
An indeterminate amount of time later, a strange sound came from behind the walls of her room. At first it sounded like someone moving furniture, but as it grew louder and more distinct, you could tell that it was a voice. You looked over at Luna, who apparently was not hearing the same thing and was resting soundly in bed. The sudden topic of how she was sleeping inside of a dream made your head spin for a bit, but the growing voice brought you back to its attention.
"A....Allll"
All? All of what? Was there something in the room trying to tell you something? Usually it was eating pizza late at night that did this to you, but you don't remember having any recently. You got up from the bed and walked over to the door that the sound was certainly coming from.
"Wwwwwaaaak"
It made no sense, but you kept listening closely as the sound became clearer. You pressed your left ear against the wooden bed chamber door and tried to listen harder.
"Aaaaleeeeexxx..."
Your heart jumped a bit in fear. The voice was clearly saying your name. You were afraid to open the door but you knew you had to in order to find out what the hell was going on. You looked behind you at Luna and realized in shock that Luna wasn't there, only ruffled bed sheets. The eeriness of the situation melted into your very soul and you could feel your heart jumping out of your chest as you turned around to grab the doorknob.
"Wwwwwaaaaakkkkkkeeeee"
You turned it slowly and almost jumped as a drop of water came out of nowhere and landed in your face. The door cracked open almost by itself and behind it was utter darkness. You took a few steps back as two more drops hit your face, apparently traveling parallel to the ground from the room outside of the door. Suddenly, you heard a low rolling sound coming from deep within the dark room. At first you thought it was white noise, but as it got louder, you recognized it as rushing water.
"WAAAAKE UPPPP!!!"
A surge of water hit you all at once and it tossed you around in what felt like a vacuum for only a few moments before you were sucked upwards into a spiral. Your head spun and you felt like your soul was being detached from your body.
You woke up from the dream coughing. Vinyl's bed was now soaked and Octavia was standing on top of you with an empty bucket turned upside down.
"Damn, Octy, you didn't need to soak my bed..." You heard a faint dove-like voice protest to the left of you, but Octavia kept your attention.
"Alex, for Celestia's sake, wake up!!!"
You were still coughing but you sat up, which helped a little. You tried to speak in between wheezes.
"Damnit Octavia, whats going on?"
"There's no time to explain, here." She threw your shirt at you and then pulled you up out of bed before you had a chance to even get one sleeve through your arm. "We need to get to Canterlot castle now!"
Vinyl stepped in this time, apparently already woken up and ready. Although you guessed that it wouldn't take her long to get ready since ponies didn't usually wear clothes. "Octy just tell us what the buck is going on!" She nearly yelled as she caught Octavia's hoof from going out the door without them.
She turned around only for an instant. "Changelings are invading the castle!" And with that, she was gone.
The streets were pure panic. Random ponies scurried around and were shutting windows and bolting doors shut. Your shoes thudded hard against the dirt road with every stride as you nearly sprinted towards Twilight's house.
Octavia's words stuck with you the whole way. Changelings? You thought that Cadence and Shining Armor had taken care of them for good. Apparently not. You thought long and hard and you couldn't rule out the possibility of a few rogue changelings attacking the castle for revenge.
You didn't even have to run halfway to Twilight's house in order to meet her. She was already flying (to your surprise) on the way to Vinyl’s house when she ran into you, almost literally.
"Twilight!"
"I know! Come on, hold my hoof! I'll teleport us there!"
You looked behind and waited for Vinyl to catch up. There was no way you were leaving her behind in all this chaos. Once you had one hand in Vinyl's hoof and the other in Twilight's, your body suddenly felt like it was being thrown out into space by a giant slingshot. Your arms that held Vinyl and Twilight felt like they were about to be torn off. It was enough to make you nauseous but thankfully, it only lasted a brief moment before you were thrown violently directly into the courtyard of the castle.
Before you had time to marvel at Twilight's teleporting abilities, you took off with Twilight and Vinyl at your side. There were no guards in the courtyard, but as you sprinted inside the first main chambers of the castle, you were shocked to see some of the guards lying prone and in the fetal position on the floor. It took all of your moral capacity not to stop to help them.
"Hurry! They should still be in here!" Twilight yelled as she busted through the main chamber door.
It was full-fledged combat. Rows of guards were fending off changelings as thuds of wounded and fallen soldiers echoed through the walls. Twilight and Vinyl were already fighting. Vinyl was using some sort of electric shock spell that you never knew she had while Twilight was using everything from fireballs to anti-gravity spells against them. After realizing that the two mares could handle themselves in battle, your priority became to find Celestia and Luna. You sneaked around the crowds of fighting changelings and guards, looking for any sign of them.
There was none. Only the white fur of guards and the grotesque distorted changelings that blocked your path to Luna's and Celestias' bedrooms. You tried to think of a tactful way around them, but you could see out of your peripherals a stray changeling that was thrown out of the main circle of battle and whose gaze was fixed upon you.
For some reason, you didn't panic. As the creature ran fast towards you, you realized that it was wielding its arm as a shape-shifted blade. The attack was easy enough to dodge, it was a downward slicing attack that could be seen coming a mile away. Rolling out of its way, you nearly tripped over a broadsword that was laying on the ground that was partially in the hooves of a fallen guard. The will to fight and protect flowed through you quickly as you took it from the guard, mentally apologizing and commending him on his sacrifice. You could hear the changeling behind you yelling as it reared back for another attack, aiming for your back.
It only took seconds to realize that your human strength was ten times that of a normal pony or changeling. The parry sent the changelings arm flying without an arc all the way across the room where it implanted into a pillar. Both of you stood there, stunned at what just happened. Guards were losing lives trying to fend off changelings and you had just dismembered one with barely an effort. A surge of confidence flowed through you and you gave a horizontal counter-attack, slicing the changeling clean in half before the body dissolved into a green mist.
The wall of changelings that were gathered at the bedroom doors saw everything you just did. At first, they just stared at you as if wondering what they should do. Then out of nowhere, one of them charged towards you yelling, giving the morale to the others to join in. It was you versus seven. You brandished your newly acquired broadsword, eager to avenge your fellow ponies and protect the Princesses with your life.
"Sister! I've fought so much, I'm not sure how much-" She popped another dark blue laser into a rushing changeling. "longer I can fight!"
"Stay strong, Luna, we mustn't falter!” Celestia cast a spell that shot dozens of arrows into the changeling crowd that was bottle-necking into their bedrooms. Still, more came, and more and more. "Twilight and her friends are on the way as we speak!"
A sudden green bolt of lightning flew across the room and skimmed Luna's shoulder, making her cry out in pain. Her magic winked out as her concentration broke, and Celestia, even with her immense magical power, strained to both heal Luna and fend off the attackers at the same time.
"Celestia... stop healing me, you need to fight them off with all your power..."
She obviously refused. The gash in Luna's shoulder was closing, but it was still severe and was causing her to bleed badly. The lines of changelings gradually advanced against Celestia's weakened attacks and they were soon surrounded. In a last-ditch effort to defend herself and her sister, Celestia tried to activate a spherical shield, but her magic had been drained from the healing and it failed. The changelings grinned and held their blades high, about to give the final blow.
"Get the fuck away from my Princess!"
You ran straight into the crowd of changelings after distracting them and with one swipe, you took out four of them that were caught off-guard. The others quickly guarded themselves against you, giving Celestia the opening she needed to pick up Luna and fall back . Your advantage of strength made dispatching the remaining changelings relatively easy. The minor battle wounds you received earlier on your arms and chest dulled your fears and you defeated each one as they came.
A flash of purple filled the room and ignited the remaining changelings into oblivion. You turned around to see Twilight rushing in along with Vinyl and your defenses dropped long enough for a lingering changeling to have an opening at you. A bright light blue flash dispatched it quickly as you turned back around to see Vinyl's horn smoking.
She blew the smoke away from her horn triumphantly. "Saved your ass." Twilight rolled her eyes at her.
The fatigue of all your fighting hit you the second your adrenaline stopped flowing and you dropped the broadsword. You turned around to see if Luna and Celestia were alright. A battle-worn but intact Celestia reassured you.
"Is the courtyard secure?" You nodded your head and breathed heavily.
"And the main halls?"
"Yes, Princess." Twilight announced victoriously.
Celestia sighed in relief as Luna came out from behind a set of curtains.
"Alex! You should not have come here! You are far too important to us to be fighting so recklessly!" Luna exclaimed as Celestia ran out to check on her guards.
"Actually, Princess," Twilight interjected, "he was a huge help to us all. I don't think we could have..." She stopped mid-sentence and looked behind you at what you thought was Luna. Her confused eyes widened with shock as she realized what was happening. Her horn glowed bright.
"Alex! Move now!"
Before your brain had time to register what was going on, a changeling arm-blade entered your chest. The pain never came, but as you looked up, you saw Luna’s beautiful midnight blue fur fade to a wicked black as holes began to appear on her forelegs. The undercover changeling was shortly blown away by Twilight, but the damage had been done. You looked down at a dark red mangled hole in your shirt as your scattered thoughts barely managed to realize what had happened.
"ALEX!!!"
The sounds of screaming around you muffled out as your eyes drifted closed and a sudden urge to sleep enveloped you. Your legs gave out and you felt yourself fall, unable to catch yourself.
You felt warm fluid flow down your chest and legs as everything went black.
