The Next Hunter
Training
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTraining
Standing on the castle training grounds with a group of the most powerful and respected members of society while I get humiliated was not what I had on my agenda for the day but it serves a purpose I suppose.
“C’mon Moon you have to be faster.” Scootaloo says with a laugh while I am struggling to keep up with her even at my top speed. “You go against a Master that’s over a century old and you are going to be a greasy spot.”
“Then how in Celestia’s name does Twilight do it? She isn’t a vampire and she isn’t an Avian who is known for her speed.” I ask in frustration
“Planning of course” Twilight says from the sidelines. “I know the layout of every building within a hundred mile radius and know the places it is safe to teleport to in order to stay in front of my target. Makes them think I am faster than I really am, it tends to make even the old ones terrified of going against me.”
“Your magic is more streamlined for these types of fights as are your general skills and without those advantages you would not be able to do this job, but we still need to improve on them if only to give you an extra edge.” She continues. “Let’s leave the speed training alone for a bit and move on to physical combat, Mac, Babs get your weapons you will both be going against him.”
Grabbing their specialized weapons, a double blade axe for Mac and a strange pair of bladed whips for Babs all with blunted edges for training. I pick up my training sword and a smaller short sword and prepare my fighting stance. Longsword in my right hand and short sword in a reverse grip I get ready to advance only to find that Mac is already on top of me with an over hand swing. I flash to the side only to meet a stinging swipe of a whip to my forearms, Babs is hot on my heels as I swing at her whips trying to disrupt their movement. I turn and flash again only to run right into the mountain that is Macintosh Jr. he looks down at me with a smile. “yer dead.”
“Fifteen seconds against the both of them is not bad except that you didn’t land even one strike of your own even in desperation” Twilight scolds “this is not a formal battle this is guerilla warfare stances need to be pure muscle memory. You cannot for even one second look for your opponent you must KNOW where they are. Again with just Babs, and Babs?”
“Yeah Twi?”
“Full physics bend.”
An evil smile comes over Babs’ face. “Yes Ma’am”
I’d heard about her abilities but I doubted their existence right up until Babs vanished with a sound like static only to appear on the other side of the arena with her whips swishing like snakes over the ground. Taking a stance I flash towards her on the attack only to have her grin and vanish once more only to reappear above my head and lash out with both whips. I take the strike only to counter with a slash to both of her arms effectively disabling both of her weapons only to receive a kick to the groin for my troubles as she falls. I double over with a muffled squeak clutching my crotch.
“Are you going to fall over every time someone fights dirty? If so tell me now so I can tell the Princesses to vaporize you and save us the expense.” Twilight says nastily.
“No need to be hostile Twilight, I was simply not expecting full contact and to be frank you have no idea what it feels like to be kicked in the balls as you do not have any.”
She seems to ponder this for a moment “You’re right I don’t, allow me to get some perspective.” Her hands begin to glow and a faint shimmer shows in her eyes and her entire body is encased in her magic. After a moment the glow fades.
“Well that was different.” Twilight says with a strange husky timbre to her voice. “I am now functionally male nerve endings and all; I even went to the higher end of the nerve spectrum so that I can feel the top end of the pain spectrum. Mac if you would please kick me in the groin as hard as you can.”
“No way no how Miss Twi, if I used all my strength I would have to call the Princesses to remove your crotch from the top of your head, not to mention as a guy mahself I cannot condone that kind of action even in the name of science.”
“Fine I understand. Babs if you would please.” She takes a wide legged stance as Babs lines up and rears back to what I can only assume is Manehatten and lets fly a kick that I’m certain breaks the sound barrier.
“EEEP!!” shrieks Twi as her eyes cross and she promptly passes out.
“Sweetie? Can you scan her and make sure there was no internal damage?” Babs says as she shuffles her feet in the dirt.
“Sure Babs.” Sweetie charges her magic and runs it over Twilights abdomen. “No hemorrhaging, no swelling to anything other than the target area. She looks fine and should be waking up momentarily.”
Sure enough a few moments’ later Twilights eyes flutter open and she simply looks up at Mac and I with new respect in her eyes. “How in Luna’s name do you guys deal with that! That is the single most painful thing I have ever felt in my life. Incidentally Babs I don’t think I need to reverse the spell I think that kick did it for me.” She tries standing up only to grimace once more. “Never mind, still there. One moment please.” Her hands glow once more as she reverses the spell. As the spell ends she once again falls to her knees “Oh, Celestia! Why does it still hurt so badly?”
Sweetie pipes up “well essentially while the appearance is different, the nerves are exactly the same, and therefore the pain is still there because the nerves are still there just in a different configuration.”
“I should have known that…” Twilight says with a dejected look.
“And my guess is that you were already sensitive in that area so the heightened nerve sensation probably did you zero favors as well.” Sweetie continues with a smirk.
“Well yeah, sex has always been very intense for me so I guess that makes sense, but why didn’t you tell me that it would hurt that bad?” Twilight pouts
Mac looks at her incredulously “Did you think we were just being big babies every time we get our jimmies rustled?”
“Well yeah kinda.” Twi replies sheepishly
“I assure you that our reaction when we get hit there is no overreaction but an instinctive response.” I respond dryly.
“I think I need to write my brother a formal letter of apology… approximately fifty-seven of them.” Twilight mutters.
“By hand My Faithful Student if that is indeed the case, No Magic.”
“P-princess Celestia! What are you doing here?” Twilight stammers.
“Well it is my castle… but the real reason is I have done some digging into your condition Moon and I think I may have found something.”
“What did you find Your Highness?” hoping for some real answers at last.
“As it turns out your family, several generations before your time, were vampire hunters. Before anyone but I and Luna knew they were anything but myths your family hunted them and kept them in check for us without our knowledge.” She said after a moment. “Over time they developed a natural resistance to the virus that makes vampires what they are and it has carried over into today, and you.”
“The members of your family that developed this resistance all had variations of the same cutie mark you bear and without exception served in the lunar guard to better hunt their prey. In the rare case where one of your family was turned they became what is known as a dhamphires, essentially half vampire with none of the weaknesses and all of their strengths although you do develop their appetites as you well know. This condition made them lethal hunters of vampire kind only limited by their own perceptions as to what they are really capable of. There are reports of newborn dhamphires having the speed and strength of Master Vampires only because they perceived that they were not limited by age as vampires are.” Celestia continued “Allow me to demonstrate. Pick up your swords and prepare.”
With that cryptic statement she pulled a sword out of thin air and used a quick spell to blunt the edge and with a malicious smile went on the offensive moving faster than the oldest Master I have ever seen. I found that strangely I could pace her as we circled each other. When she attacked I felt her immense strength but was able to hold her back if only barely.
“Let go of your Humanity, stop hiding and let me see the real you!” she screams over our crossed swords, fire in her gaze.
“Very well Princess.” And I do exactly as she says. I feel my fangs elongate to over two inches and my eyes begin to glow an inhuman red as my fingernails grow into inch long talons. As my humanity slips my reactions get faster and faster until I am not just holding my own I am winning. I match her strike for strike and block for block until finally when I throw my short sword away and deftly disarm the princess I hold both her blade and mine crossed at her throat and snarl. “Do you yield?”
“You have fought the Sun and fairly won the match, well done.” The Princess says with a smile.
I let the humanity seep back in and begin to look around only to see all six Elements of Harmony wearing their Elements in a wide circle around us and glowing in a rainbow of colors and a shield between them and us. The ground around us is charred and cracked as if a huge fire has been left to burn out on this spot leaving nothing but lifeless earth behind.
“Princess, please do not do that again the earth is not meant to have the sun directly on its surface. The Elements appeared to keep the inferno contained and save Equestria. Please release your magic so that the Bearers can release their shield.” Twilight says tightly.
For the first time since I released my humanity I take a good look at the Goddess in front of me and I realize that she is not the pale Princess with the pastel sunrise hair I am used to but and fearsome Goddess with an inferno for hair and skin that crackles like the surface of a lava flow. Her gown is cinders and as she releases her power her body reveals its generous curves with bountiful breasts and shapely hips with but a wisp of hair at the junction of her thighs.
The Princess smiles at my astonishment and saunters over to the edge of the shield “Bearers you can release your shield the danger is over, I am truly sorry for being the danger you had to defend against but after reading the fantastic accounts of the Strike family I simply had to see for myself if it was true.”
As the Elements of Harmony fade from their respective bearers the Princess sways her hips as she walks out of the arena. “Twilight, get him geared out and well fed, he is ready and I have an order of execution that needs to be completed. You leave tomorrow morning for Ponyville and Carousel Boutique.”
“Why Carousel Boutique?”
“Two reasons… first Rarity has petitioned to be brought into the local Kiss and I want you two to check it out and make sure they are the Belle’s they claim to be. And second, there are two vampires that have been exposed for feeding illegally, clan is unknown but the victims were your old friends Lyra Heartstrings and Bon-Bon. They are both alive but they were not registered donors and claimed malfeasance and that they were forced to feed a vampire couple that they apparently brought home for some private entertainment.”
“Yes, Princess” Twilight says with a bow “Come Moon we need to get you to Applebloom’s workshop hopefully she is done with your armor and Weapons.”
“Ah am Twi”
As we went to Applebloom’s workshop I was briefed on the victims and the gear I would be getting.
“Ya will be getting a new set of blades for hand to hand combat, 20 throwing blades, and a hand crossbow of mah own design. These are all made out of a special alloy that has the strength of the best Equestrian steel and yet is lighter. The armor is designed to be as much weapon as protection with blades on every joint and spikes protecting your vital areas. There is a layer of fine chain mesh protecting the areas that spikes aren’t feasible. The rest is leather tanned in a special process that makes it almost as strong as metal but it keeps its flexibility.”
“There are also a few gadgets that Twi came up with ta help keep the team in contact with each other. I just finished having yours enchanted this morning.” Applebloom rattles off this information with such a gleam in her eyes that I know she is holding something back as a surprise.
We finally arrive at her workshop and it is what can only be described as organized chaos, I could never find anything in a timely manner but I would bet an entire contract worth of bits that she knew where every bolt was located within inches.
As we walk back to a caged area I see the armory and the security attached to it. Applebloom places her palm over an intricate glyph and it glows faintly and the lock clicks open. “That there lock was Skyla’s invention it is keyed to every member of this team and should anyone not keyed to it try and open it we are all alerted and the culprit is frozen on the spot. Until one of us releases them in front of the Princesses that is.”
“One is being installed in the basement of the Playground as we speak and all of mah equipment will be moved there as soon as it is done.” She says with a bright smile.
I am finally able to lay eyes on my new armaments for the first time and what a sight they are to behold. The longsword is a matte finish blade with a black blood groove running the full length. The hilt is wrapped in soft black leather and wrapped with wire to prevent slippage, the cross guard is in the shape of an up curved crescent moon. The companion short sword is a perfect match and they both come with a wooden scabbard wrapped in the same buttery soft leather and a metal throat with my cutie mark engraved in great detail on each side.
The throwing blades are dagger sized version of my swords each is well balanced and sturdy and each come with a soft scabbard attached to a belt designed to go across the chest and attach to the sword belt at the hip.
The cross bow is like nothing I have ever seen it is in some sort of holder and the bows are folded up alongside the frame. The bows themselves appear to be made of the same metal as my blades but there are glyphs inscribed on the whole mechanism and there doesn’t appear to be any ammunition.
“Where are the bolts for the crossbow and how do I use it?” I ask the two women standing behind me watching me with bemused expressions as I ogle the weapons like I would a beautiful woman.
“Pull it outta the holster, you’ll see.” Applebloom says
I do as she asks and the bow spring out and lock into position as the glyphs come to life with a faint silver glow the same hue as my own magic.
“That there bow uses your own magic as ammunition. You can charge a spell into it and it will fire the spell at the target. I do mean any kinda spell too even ones that are not offensive in nature. Bell uses hers for sonic bursts that are great for disorientation and also spot healing if ya don’t have time to stop or ya need more time to regroup before ya can stop.”
Twilight draws my attention to another table. “Your armor is here Moon and as Rarity made the body of it I know it will be an excellent fit, she also sent a chest here that she was adamant you open only on your own tonight. The last item is this coat” she says holding up the sleeve of a black duster coat with silver glyphs embroidered along the cuffs, collar, and hem.
“It is enchanted with the same spells as the guards’ armor and reinforced with armor plating but I added a few other enchantments that will hide the presence of your weapons from observers, and a small perception filter allowing anyone that you are not directly speaking with to simply not see you. It is not invisibility, that is impossible, but making others gaze slide off of you is completely within the realm of possibility.” She continues “this provides an extra element of fear when we suddenly vanish or appear right in front of the vampires we need to interrogate about our targets.”
“This is without a doubt the most exceptional set of gear I have ever seen. Thank you both.” I say humbly gathering everything into another locked chest so it can be taken back to the Playground.
“We had better get going if we are going to get you fed and a decent night’s sleep.” Twilight says. “Oh, and by the way, should you ever lay a single fang on my niece I will personally teleport you into the pits of Tartarus.” She says with a sweet smile on her face and hell in her eyes. “I don’t care if she is of legal age or not when it happens.”
*GULP* “Of course, Lady Sparkle I would not dream of feeding from a Princess”
“Good because if you do dream of it then Luna will know, and what I will do to you, will be nothing compared to what she will do, I would wager that it will make the Nightmare Moon incident look like a mild temper tantrum.” Still with that saccharine smile
“Understood” I say with wide eyes and swallowing loudly.
Back at the Playground the dancers were beginning to move in and get settled under the watchful eye of some guards to make sure that none of their belongings were stolen while it was being unloaded. I exchanged a few pleasantries with the dancers that were there but soon retired to my room, where I opened the chest from Rarity only to see a large wrapped bundle and a note on top of it. I opened the note and read…
My dear Moon Strike,
After seeing your handsome visage and learning of your woeful lack of attire befitting your station as our new Hunter I took it upon myself to lend your wardrobe a certain je ne sais quoi. Before you open the bundle, if you haven’t already you naughty boy please have my sister and Scootaloo present as there are some things they asked me to make for them. Please continue reading first however as I have some things I wish to tell you that you may have already heard, but I wish to tell you from my own mouth as it were. I expect to see you wearing the blue ensemble when we meet tomorrow.
I have asked for and been offered the chance to join the local Kiss of Belle’s in Ponyville, they are not a large Kiss and that has made me suspicious so I asked to have them investigated before my transformation three nights hence. Please do not mention my involvement with the investigation as it could jeopardize my admission. As vain as it may seem I do not wish to lose my beauty or ability to create my designs as I grow older and arthritic. By joining the Belles I will be able to create my designs for centuries and retain my looks as well. When my sister and her sweet avian friend join you tonight be kind to them. You will understand when they open their packages.
With Love Darling,
Rarity
Unsure what to make of the last line I ask Sweetie and Scootaloo into my room.
“What’s up Moon?” Scootaloo asks after flitting into my bedroom with Sweetie not far behind.
“Rarity has sent a package for you two and bundled it in with some things she sent to me since I really have very little in the way of clothing.” I reply holding two very light packages out to them each one with a small note card with their names on it.
I also let them read the letter Rarity sent to me and asked if they had any idea of what the last line meant. The two young women exchange a knowing look and smile as they close my door and lock it. Sweetie’s hands glow for a moment as does my door. She smiles at me
“Don’t try to open that. May we borrow your restroom for a moment?”
All I can do is nod my head like a child asked if he wants ice cream. They walk into my restroom and close the door giggling.
A few minutes later two visions come out of my restroom and it takes me a full minute of staring to realize that these two beauties are Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They are dressed in what can only be described as lingerie if you use the broadest terms possible.
“Sweetie, Scootaloo what may I ask is this all about?” hoping against all reason that these two lovely women wanted to be with me.
“Well, after that first night with you, Scoots here wanted to feed you as well but she was too nervous to ask you herself so she thought that if I were with her then she would feel a bit more comfortable.” Sweetie explains as she saunters over my bed with Scootaloo in tow. “Isn’t that right Scootaloo?
“Yeah, after watching what just your bite did to her I thought what would happen if we were to actually have sex.” Just the thought of this makes her shiver just a bit. “Are you okay with this or did we just make colossal asses out of ourselves?”
“Hmmm, Let me think, two gorgeous women are in my room dressed in clothes that would make a blind man blush” I slowly start stalking towards them removing my shirt one button at a time. “No my dears you did not make asses out of yourselves, in fact you lovelies just made my millennium.”

I lay down next to them with my pants halfway un-laced and reach for Sweetie drawing her into a deep kiss, our tongues dueling gently. I pull her onto my lap so that she is straddling my hips as I caress her hip with one hand, with my free hand I draw Scootaloo in close to us and reach behind her to caress her back where her wings attach drawing a heated ragged moan from her.
Sweetie pulls back from the kiss to watch her friend start to pant under my ministrations to her wings and after a moment of indecision leans in and presses her lips to her friends. After a startled moment Scootaloo leans into the kiss and wraps her arms around Sweeties neck, after a moment Scoots breaks away and leans down to take one of Sweeties pebbled nipples into her mouth drawing a loud moan from her friend.
--Play(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b-mUxSl2TM) here--
Not to be outdone I reach between Sweetie and Scoots and with either hand start to caress their mounds through the miniscule panties they are wearing causing them to lean back and gasp.
“Don’t you dare stop Moon!” Scoots moans into my ear
“Oh Celestia, take me now!” Sweetie says breathlessly leaning her head to allow me access to her vein.
“Ah ah I have a better idea my dear, Lay down on your back both of you.” The girls do so snuggling close and kissing each other gently with Scoots’ wings acting as an impromptu bed as they cover my mattress.
I kneel down in between them and slowly remove the panties from their hips exposing their womanhood to me for the first time. I slowly lean down over them and blow over their very wet nether lips causing them to moan into each other’s mouths as I finally lean into Sweetie and give her erect clit a teasing lick.
“OH MY GODDESSES!!!!” I just smile up at her and lean over to her friend and do the same thing.
*POMF* Scootaloo’s wings forcibly pop open to full span as she convulsively comes off the mattress she looks at me with a wildness in her eyes.
“In Luna’s name BITE ME! Oh dear Luna please take me, do whatever you want with me just never stop!!!”
Who am I to refuse such a request? I spread her thighs baring her light pink flesh and soaking wet lips I lean in and bury my tongue inside her in one movement I look up to see her reaction and to my surprise she has Sweetie’s panties off and has her sitting on her face licking her clit like a madwoman. I simply smile and return to my treat as her hips start to buck uncontrollably against my chin I return to her clit and slowly slip a finger into her tight wetness and over the swollen patch of rougher flesh near her entrance.
She screams wordlessly into Sweeties mound and when she is at the height of her orgasm I sink my fangs into her femoral artery as her sweet juices spray over me. I take but a few sips and then withdraw as I pull Sweetie back and lay her back down as she was before only to have her pull Scootaloo into the same position she had just been in.
All I can do is grin and begin to gently taste the light pink flesh before me, teasing her clit gently as I slowly slip my finger into her stroking her deeply as she is already so wet and ready. Just as she is about to climax I release my Ardeur over them both making them both cum harder than they ever have before and sink my fangs into the opposite side that I tasted Scootaloo on.
As they come down from their mutual climax I crawl into bed between them they take one look at me still in my pants and as one, attack me Sweetie stripping my pants down and Scootaloo wrapping her mouth around my cock almost to the base all in one go. Sweetie having gotten my pants off comes up just as Scootaloo rises off only for her to offer my cock to Sweetie who takes it into her throat and begins to… I don’t know.
“Is she singing?” I ask breathlessly just to see Scootaloo nod and smile at me.
“It is a trick she learned when we were younger. Poor bastard Rumble didn’t know what hit him.”
“Lucky guy.” Is all I can say as my eyes start to roll back into my head.
Finally Sweetie relents and I am able to get back a small measure of control. I pull the girls back up on the bed and gently lay Sweeties petite frame on top of Scootaloo. I stand up at the edge of the bed and line myself up with Scootaloo first.
“Are you sure you want this?” I ask them both.
“YES!!” they scream in unison.
I slide my thick length slowly into Scootaloo feeling her spasm around me as she stretches to accommodate me. I begin thrusting into her slowly at first then just as I pick up speed I pull out and switch to Sweetie’s wet embrace. Repeating this and varying my speed and depth I bring them both right to the edge over and over again and when I start to lose my rhythm I release the Ardeur once more and feed off the ocean of lust streaming from them both.
“I’m about to cum!” I say in a strained voice as I try to hold on for one more moment. Finally I pull back and release stream after stream onto Sweeties toned stomach. Scootaloo wriggles out from under her and begins licking the sticky treat off of her friend and then sharing it between them in heated kisses.
Done with their treat they lay back with contented smiles and pull me up in between them. As we lay there half asleep Sweetie mumbles “Babs is going to be pissed we didn’t invite her.”
Next-The Hunt Begins.
