Everything seemed like a distant dream.

A dream that I almost couldn't wake up from.

There was so much happening at once...

...so much that there was no processing it.

All I could do is stare as the world around me turned itself inside out.

Everything that I so desired...

...everything that I risked life and limb for...

...wasted away.

And so I thought to myself...

"What if this was a dream?"

"What if I could just scream and I'd suddenly woke up?"

I wanted to escape this nightmare.

I filled my lungs, full of the stagnant air.

I allowed myself to drown in the deadly miasma.

My body initially rejected it, causing me to choke on the putrid alternate reality that my subconsciousness managed to create.

As I tried to gain more air, the more the world ate into my very being.

But I did not give up.

Finally letting my lungs fill to it's maximum capacity, I pulled the trigger on the weapon that I would use to conquer this world.

My weapon fires it's rounds as it echoes into the scenery around me.

The resounding wailing became my beacon of defiance.

My scream emptied my lungs of the stale air and returned it to the existence that I denied.

I watched as the world collapse into millions of fragments.

I watched as the world continued to break into what I wanted it to be.

The air even became sweet and crisp.

The fresh air graced my lungs once more.

And then I was finally happy...

...until I saw the broken pieces of glass realign with their misshaped counterparts.

My eyes darted to each direction as the world I sought to destroy recreated itself in front of me.

I resisted some more as the air proceeded to change back into the rancid mess that it once was.

I did everything that I could to prevent this unholy resurrection from taking place.

I held down the broken pieces of glass...

...only for them to sweep from under my hooves.

Some of the fragments even retaliated, as they tore into my flesh.

As each severed edge cut into me, I somehow wished that they would prove to be merciful.

I wanted them to take me away, or rather my life.

But no matter how deep they dug into my flesh...

...no matter how much I bled...

I was still alive to see the world around me return to it's apocalyptic state.

I held in my tears, and in their place came more screams.

Each scream sounded off into the void...

...and the void continued to resist.

Lost in despair, I drove my hooves into the ground below me.

I smashed and smashed, pounded and pounded...

...and yet nothing happened.

It was at that moment that I realized something.

The existence that I long wanted to deny...

...was never a dream to begin with.

~Shining Armor Aegnus Sparkle

Two weeks later...

The alarm would not go off this morning. Not because Shining forgot to set it, but rather he woke up several minutes before it went off. For his daily routine, that was rather unusual. He would never usually get up any earlier than he had to. But for the past two weeks, something like this has become a common occurrence. The birds reminded him that he still yet lived.

A bittersweet reality over what he had lost two weeks earlier.

"Shining. Are you up?" A familiar voice called to him.

He rose up out of the bed and stretched himself as he responded. "Nnnnngyah... Yeah, mom."

"Well that's good... Shining sweetie... Can you come outside? Breakfast is ready."

Shining Armor looked at the clock to check on the time as he left the comfort of his bed. Rising up, his mind recalls everything that happened on that fateful day two weeks ago. It still ate away at his mind as he still found himself stepping out of the hospital room each morning, just to expect the tearing faces of those that he knew.

FLASHBACK

Shining Armor continued to cry into the pillow he held close to his heart. Celestia looked on as she felt sorry for the young father, who would never get to see or touch his own foal. As he screamed into the pillow, he cursed the dream that gave him so much hope for his future. He cursed the stallion who took the honor of being a father away from him, his visions of seeing the little foal running up to him as he returned from a long day of work. He cursed the princess that stood by him as she watched the tears cascade from his reddened eyes. He cursed himself for not being strong enough to stand up to Crimson as he drove the blade into Pearl's abdomen, hitting the still developing fetus as it's blood spilled to the grass below.

Shining couldn't take it. He never felt so vulnerable in his live as he plead to Faust that this could possibly be reversed. He begged that a miracle would take place, but sadly that miracle was nowhere to be found. His grunts of pain pushed into the softness of the pillow that he imagined was the foal that he created, kissing it lightly as he broke into weeping. But no matter what he tried to imagine, it wouldn't change the fact that once was his was no longer.

Suddenly, he rose from his bed. His mind signaled to him that the comfort of the pillow was not enough. The pillow would accept his embrace, but it could not return it. It reminded him of the very thing that caused his despair. Wheezing as the pain in his chest longed for a return of affection, he jumped out of the bed. But his wounds from his previous affair rendered him too weak to walk under his own ability. He fell to the floor with a loud thud as the wires attached to his body disconnected and flung to the wayside.

Celestia rushed to his side as she assisted the young guard as he huffed and puffed unto the tile floor. Celestia raised his head as he tried to crawl forward. She nuzzles him softly as she offers her assistance.

"Please, you must rest... You can visit the others later."

"NOOO!!!" He screamed as he resisted being placed upon the bed. "NO!! NOO!! PLEASE!!! I HAVE TO SEE!!! I... I need to see..."

His sentences remained broken as he wormed to the door. Celestia held fast, trying not to place too much pressure on his ribs. As she pulled, he squirmed in pain as he made his drive to the door.

"Please you must stay in bed."

"NOOO!!! LET ME GO!!! I NEED TO BE THERE!!!! I... LET ME GO!!!

Celestia gave up as the teen resisted. Though he would be subject to her, his heart was what he served first. And she knew that there was nothing to avert that. His mind had been made up, and he wanted to see his family. As she held him, she tried her best to hold more of her tears back.

No matter how many guards she saw lose something of sentimental value, she still felt the pain of loss. She felt it for a thousand years.

"...If you wish to see them... then they await you outside of the door."

Celestia cradled him in her wing as she guided him to door. As Shining lit his horn, she scorned him for using his magic. As she did so, she also lit her horn and opened the door for him.

"Although you've experienced a grave loss, to these ponies that wait for you outside, this night could have been consistent of more than a single life lost. You, Pearl and Velvet were close to meeting your fates. But for now...

As they stepped through the doorway, a group of ponies awaited their final companion as they stood in the hallway, tears falling on their faces. Magnus stood in a corner in the distance as he hid his face from the young teen's view. Orion stood with his helmet in held close to his heart. Azure, Longshot and Poindexter sat on the wall to the opposite side of the doorway. Amora cried softly in a corner down the hall. Velvet stood by the door that her son as she continued praying for her son's health, wrapped in bandages from her wounds.

"...I believe that your company wishes to see you."

Upon Celestia finishing her sentence, Shining suddenly felt a pair of hooves wrapping around him very tightly. He looked to his side to see that his mother held him in her hooves as she cried.

"Shining..." Velvet could only call out his first name before she dug into her son, nuzzling him hard as he returned the gesture. Velvet and Shining held each other for many minutes, not saying a word. Azure clenched his eyes as he saw the pain that his best friend endured that night. The others remained as they were.

"Shining... I'm so sorry. It was because I didn't defend Pearl. And now-"

"No mom... It was mine. I should've been stronger. After he attacked me, he wasn't satisfied with just the thought of me being unable to stand. So he... It should've been me. I should be the one that got stabbed. I should be the one that should be dying on the grass rather than... I should've been the one who-"

"You stop right there!" Velvet screamed at her son, not wanting to hear those words come out of his mouth. "Don't you dare say something like that to me, NOT EVER! I've... I've lost a grandchild tonight... And I shall be eternally damned if I should have to bury my own son as well. So don't you dare! DON'T YOU DARE DENY YOUR EXISTENCE TO ME! I BIRTHED YOU AND RAISED YOU FOR FAR TOO LONG TO SEE YOU LEAVE BEFORE ME!"

Velvet stood in place as she pounded away at her son, not wanting to face the bitter reality of seeing her son join the company of his dearly departed foal.

"You idiot."

Magnus ran over to the teen sobbing harshly as he offered his condolences to the young parent. Magnus clasped his hooves around him as he tried to apologize for everything that he had to go through that day. Shining brought his hooves around the stallion as well as his mother as he finally fell to his knees and screamed himself into despair.

His life would never be the same.

FLASHBACK ENDS

As Shining trotted out of his room, he finds his mother awaiting him just across the hall. She walks up to her son and hugs him, giving him her tender love and deepest admiration. Not wanting to seem rude, he gave her a warm hug in return.

"Is my guardspony ready for his breakfast?"

Shining moans at the fact that his mother addressed him as if he was a foal still. "Ugh... Yes mom."

"Well that's good. Come on downstairs before your food gets cold."

Velvet kisses her son on the cheek before she walks down the hall to the stairs. Shining walked back into his room to check if all of his school supplies were packed. He opened his saddlebags and took a mental note on what he would be needing come the end of the week. As he went along, he also checked his calender for any specific dates that would be a conflict to his free time. He opened his closet to reveal a set of his school uniforms pressed and ready for school. He laid one of them out across his bed as his mother called for him once more.

"Shining, hurry down! Your food's getting cold!"

"Coming!"

"You know I don't like serving cold meals! Come down here this instant!"

Shining looked at the uniform on his bed one last time before trotting out of the room. "On my way!"

As he walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, he noticed there was something missing. Of course there was his father. Orion was on patrol at the palace for the week and he would not be home until his shift was completed. As for the reason we was on duty for so long, Shining never knew why. But that wasn't Shining's concern as much as it was that his sister was missing from the table.

"Hey mom, where's Twily?"

Velvet placed a steaming plate of soy eggs, hay bacon strips, and toast in front of him as well as a hot bowl of buttered grits before him. She shook her head as she answered her son.

"She's feeling a little under the weather this morning. So I gave her breakfast in bed just before I came to check up on you."

"Oh..." Shining responded with a worried tone. "Maybe I should go visit her before I leave."

"Oh no! I'm not taking care of two sick foals. You keep yourself away from her, for your own safety." Velvet argued as she levitated her own plate to sit at the table with her own son.

"Oh... Okay." Shining sounded off dejectedly.

As he started to dig into his bowl of grits, Velvet stared at the stallion before her. She knows that everything from two weeks prior really took a toll on him. It was so bad that he would wake up screaming in the middle of the night, crying out for Faust to forgive him. And just as often she would find herself crying along side him. But lately, things have improved as he only wakes up as early as four in the morning. And even though that was better than having him scream about the non-existent blood on his hooves, she often scorned him for waking up so early and instructed him to sleep in a little longer.

But if that wasn't anything, he's been taking better care of his little sister, Twilight Violet. He spent much of the free time that he would normally use for his friends specifically to cater to her. He even took his entire Saturday of last week to fully devote himself to being there for his little sister. They flew kites, had a picnic in the park, reading to her some of her favorite stories, he even started to teach her a little about magic. But Velvet just couldn't shake the feeling that he was compensating for the loss that he endured. As of now, it was the reason why he seemed so shot down when Velvet told him that he couldn't see her.

His little sister became his coping mechanism and he didn't even notice it.

"Aww, why so despondent? It's a beautiful day." Velvet asked, trying to invoke some joy into her son's demeanor.

Shining only picked at the empty plate before him. As soon as he gave the indication that he was going to leave, she intervened.

"Um. Dear, lets talk for a bit."

"But mom, I gotta get ready for scho-"

"Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah. You stay right there as I go get your seconds... A growing stallion needs his food after all."

Shining eased back into the chair as he watched his mother take his plate to the stove and refill his plate with more of the eggs and hay bacon strips.

"You know, for the life of me I just don't know why I made this much. I guess it's because I've gotten so used to it after so long."

"Probably because of dad?"

"Hmm... Maybe. But since he won't be here this morning, I'll suppose you'll be the honorary colt of the house." Velvet stated as she placed the second helping of his breakfast before him.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because, there's nopony here to assume that role except for you. But in the mean time, just think about it. You'll be in charge, you'll still have me and little Twilight to keep you busy, and as soon as you come home from school, we'll be waiting just for you."

That echoed in his mind as she said it. He would be the sole head of the household as long as his father was out. But then, some uncertainty came behind that idea.

"But mom... Am I good enough to assume that role?"

"Can you protect your little sister from all harm?"

"Well... yeah."

"Then there's your answer. You don't need to constantly be in a rut. Even though what has happened two weeks past has placed you in a trench, doesn't mean that you should always be so gloomy. It never hurts to smile and take appreciation for what you still have."

"Mom." Shining looked at his mother as she sat before him, reaching out to him. He stopped eating to hear what she has to say.

"Take it from me. When life has thrown some nasty bolts at you, all you can do in the face of doubt is smile. Because when an enemy sees the smile of the one he's sworn to kill, it invokes fear. When things get you down, never look like what you're going through. Sometimes it's okay to wear the mask in certain situations, but only because it teaches the others around you that you are strong, even at your weakest moments."

"You think so?"

"I know so. You don't have to hide every time something or someone comes by offering you a shot at happiness. It's sometimes best to take the risk and go for it. And in this case... you still have a lot to wager."

"And what's that?"

"I'm somewhat offended that you should ask that." Velvet got up from the chair adjacent to her son as she walked behind him and snuggled him. "Me, your sister, your father, your friends... We're all the chips you need to make it big. It's up to you on whether or not to take that risk and bet on us."

Shining took a second to think that over. And it only took a second to find that smile that he hid for fourteen days. "...Okay."

"...My little Shining Armor."

Shining stood up to make his way upstairs as Velvet called him once more. "Wait a moment, dear. Don't you want to help me with the dishes?"

"Sorry mom. I gotta go, or I'm gonna be late."

"Oh don't be silly. You have all day to help me out around the house."

Shining scoffed at his mother's sarcasm. "But mom, it's a weekday. That means that I have to go to school."

"Take a day off! You don't need to go today. Hell, you don't have to go for the rest of the week if you wish." Velvet insisted.

"Mom, enough of the jokes. I gotta get ready." Shining protested as his mother continued to rebut.

"Shining, all I'm saying is that I would personally advise you not to go to school today. Stay home with me. You need to rest."

"Mom. I can handle it... I'll be okay." Shining said as he took a moment to put his hoof down on the matter.

Velvet and Shining stood and stared at each other as the birds continued to sing outside. Velvet then backed off of her argument and conceded the debate to her son. "Okay... I trust you."

As she said those words, her son evaded her presence and made for his room. Velvet started doing the dishes, seeming upset at the fact that her son opted to go to school than to spend some quality time with her. As she finished the dishes, her son came down the stairs fully dressed in his school uniform.

"Are you sure about this, sweetie?"

Shining nodded as he answered his mother. "Yeah. I'm okay... See you when I get home. Say hello to Twily for me."

And just like that, he was gone. Velvet took a glass from the cabinet as well as a bottle of rosé. She summoned a corkscrew as she sat the glass firmly on the table.

"You better come home."

"Hey Shining! Earlier than usual, eh?"

"I guess."

Azure greeted Shining in the courtyard of the school that morning. He didn't want to see Shining all by himself because if he was by himself, then he would normally start moping about the past events. Azure knew that in order to keep his friend off of what bothered him the most, he as well as Poindexter and Longshot would try to keep things as normal as they possibly could. And even when they would find that Shining's mind wandered, they would find something to take his mind off of it. And thankfully, his number one assistant trailed him.

"Morning, Shiny!" Amora spoke with much more enthusiasm than usual. As she galloped to snuggle the stallion whom she addressed, she also planted a kiss on his cheek. "What's new?"

"Um... nothing that I know of." He answered nervously as he still found himself uncomfortable around the advances of the pink alacorn mare.

"Well that's no good. You can't live your life so... vanilla-like."

Shining cocked his head as he questioned her analogy. "Vanilla-like?"

"Yeah. Plain, dull, boring. You've managed to work your day like an old stallion in the retirement complex just four blocks from here. And that's not a very good way to live your life. Especially when you're a sophomore in high school."

"Well... maybe I just wanna feel old for a second." Shining quipped.

"Nope. I won't allow it. And since we're talking, I was wondering..." Amora paused for a moment to think on how she wanted to ask without things being taken out of context.

"...You were wondering???" Azure asked before Shining would get a chance.

"...If you were able to come over and help me on my homework assignment."

Azure and Shining exchanged looks as they questioned why in Equestria would she ask him over for homework. Shining questioned her motives. "Okay, what's really going on?"

"No joke! I have an anatomy project that I need to have turned in by the end of the week or else my grades are going to take a nasty tumble. And sadly, I don't associate with anything less than an A minus. A B-plus if I'm really in a careless mood."

"Wow, look at the big risk taker." Azure mocked as Amora gave him a mean look.

"Anyways, unlike some ponies that only seek to boost their reputation rather than their GPA, I am merely asking your presence in the name of science."

"And what would this project be, exactly?" Shining Armor asked as he walked past Amora, who hid her saddlebags from view.

"It's a surprise." Amora smiled. "You'll find out later."

" *cough* THIRSTY *cough* " Azure barked as he hid his mouth behind his hoof. Amora shot an evil glance in his direction.

"What's the catch?" Shining began to interrogate the mare that stood before him.

"No catch."

"Then why is it just me and me alone?"

"Because you're the only pony I feel as if I can talk to on a daily basis about mostly anything."

"But I thought we were studying."

"Yeah, but I also wanted to really talk to you without the vices of school getting in the way."

"And that just made no sense due to the fact that the sole reason of me coming over was because of said vice."

Amora started to get annoyed. "Okay. But I still need a partner for this project."

"Tell me what the project is and then I'll come over."

"Fine... I needed to analyze the output of three unicorns and find out the special attributes that make up their magical signature."

"Then why not ask me and Fleur then?" Azure interrupted. Amora, now impatient, cast a spell on Azure to keep his vocal chords from vibrating. As soon as she finished, Azure tried to speak. But he found that his voice had been taken from him. As he held his throat in panic, Amora answered the previous question.

"Because I already have two and I would rather prefer Shining personally."

"Suddenly, this doesn't seem like a good idea."

"YOU ARE COMING OVER TO HELP ME DAMMIT!!!" The birds from the surrounding areas took to the sky as Amora's voice echoed throughout the campus. As she realized how vocal she became, she tried to correct herself. " *ahem* I meant to say... If you were free this afternoon, then I would really like you to come on over and help me with this."

Shining pondered the thought as he brought a hoof to his chin.

"I'll think about it."

"Please?"

"I said I'll thi-"

"I rubbed your belly last week."

Shining blushed as he brought his voice to a whisper. "And you said you would never bring that up."

Amora matched his tone as she placed her bargaining chip on the table. "And now I'll tell the entire school if you don't help me. I'll even tell them the main reason why your mom won't let you date."

"You wouldn't dare..." Shining mumbled as he stared nervously at Amora.

Amora smirked as she played up to her bluff. After about a few seconds of staring each other into a crater, Shining forfeited as he submitted to her will.

"You win... I come over."

Shining felt the familiar sensation of an overly excited mare crushing his ribs as Amora squeezed him, nearly causing his ribs to cave into his chest. "Yay! Oh thank you so much Shining Armor! You don't know how much this means to me."

"Oh sure it means a lot if you have to blackmail somepony into submission." Shining thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head, laughing nervously.

"You won't regret it! I promise to make it up to you! I'll do whatever you ask!" Amora launched herself at her boyfriend and clasped him in a deadly hug as he tried to emphasize that she was cutting off his air supply.

"Choking, not breathing."

Amora backed off as she pranced happily down the courtyard and into the school's entrance. "Thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou! Thanks so much boyfriend!"

Shining blushed as she said out loud that she was his girlfriend of a week now. But before she managed to leave, he shouted out to her as he pointed to the direction of his speechless friend. "AMORA! I THINK YOU FORGOT SOMETHING!"

"IT'LL WEAR OFF TWO MINUTES FROM NOW!" Amora answered from the entrance, leaving a moderately confused Shining Armor and a panicking Azure on the front lawn.

As Amora ran down the halls and galloped for the nearest bathroom, she tried to hide her enthusiasm from the other students in the hallways. By the time she entered the restroom, her happiness could no longer contained. And finally for the first time in many years, she finally announced that she had finally found the one that she was waiting for. Jumping and prancing with irrational exuberance, she cheered to herself.

"mmmmmMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ♫I'm gonna lose my virginity!♪ ♫I'm gonna lose my virginity!♪ And to whom will be receiving the goods? SHIHIIIIIING ARMOOOOOOOOR! My first time! I'm so excited, I could cum on myself thinking about it! Wait... *sigh* Be reasonable Mi Amore Cadenza. He's just a stallion. It's not like you've suffered for a grand total of ninety-eight estrus seasons including the extended ninety-four that includes your age suppressions. It can't be that bad anyways... Oh whatever. My pussy's been hurting for this! I'm riding that dick until it breaks! Sorry mahogany... but I've sworn myself to the vices of my boyfriend."

Her external demeanor was more physical rather than verbal, though she did say a few words.

"My... first... estrus with a colt! *squee* "

"Come on guys. We gotta go see what's up with Azure." Shining stated as he magically pulled his saddle bags to his back.

"Oh come on. He's doing just fine." Longshot assured as he opened the door to the class room.

"Yeah, but you guys already know what this is. It's the estrus season." Poindexter said nervously, not wanting to be in a position of being sadistically humped by an unknown mare that hid inside of a closet somewhere.

As they all stepped outside of the room, their teacher, Mr. Grade, spoke to all of them. "Be careful you three. If you can find Azure, be sure to get him out of here and as far away from here as possible. You all know that he tends to bite off way more than he can chew when it comes to mares."

"Yes sir." The three sounded off in unison before closing the door to the hallway.

The bell rings in the halls of Canterlot School For Gifted Unicorns. As the day ends Shining Armor, Poindexter and Longshot walks into the hallway. But there is a major difference in the enrollment that day. Less than half of the student population has gone missing. And seventy-eight percent of those missing were colts.

"Remember, we have to be as quiet as possible." Shining warned.

"Ain't gotta tell me twice." Poindexter mumbled softly as he tried to avoid any unwanted attention.

"Wasn't this shit scheduled for sometime next week? I swear it was." Longshot whispered to the others.

"Yes, it was placed on the calendar that Spring Break was scheduled to next week, to observe the estrus season. But for some odd reason it seems that everypony's hormones kicked in a week early. Though it's not unprecedented, it's not all too common either." Poindexter affirmed as he looked to his left and right to see if there were any mares in hiding.

"And that means that we don't have a hope for getting laid on our own terms. Mane that sucks." Longshot grumbled

"I don't think that our current situation requires for us to worry about getting laid on our own terms." Shining quipped

"Au contraire, my dear Shines. It has everything to do with having sex on our own terms. You see, every stallion can say they can get some in the estrus season. It just so happens that in me and Poindexter's case, we haven't gotten any even under those circumstances. But it was because we chose not to. We want to earn our firsts rather than have it given to us in-season."

"Okay, that's a pretty sound argument. But right now, we need to find Azure." Shining stated.

"Agreed. But the first question is this; If we were Azure Sword, where would we be?"

Silence ensues... But before they found an answer, they heard the screams of a stallion screaming out in pain.

"AARGHH!"

"Hey guys, that sounded..." Poindexter said as Longshot and Shining finished up the statement in rapid succession.

"A lot like..."

"Azure!"

As they traced down the source of the screams, they soon found themselves inside of the mare's restroom. They were left in silence as they watched the two mares kissed each other lustfully as a helpless Azure was buried in between the hind legs of the mare with a cutie mark depicting a paint brush. His cries for freedom silenced by the soft, wet embrace of the mare that pressed herself against his face. The more he cried, the more vibrations were sent to the blushing mare's gushing lips below. Letting out a unearthly growl, she tightened her grip on him as her legs held his head like a vice grip. His hooves struggled to free themselves of the leather belt that bound them together.

Another mare with a cutie mark of a bass clef restlessly dropped her hips onto Azure's pelvis. She continued to slam herself, with the intensity of a printing press against his now-soaked member. The sound of wet flesh clapping reverberated throughout the room as she raked the opposing mare's head to hers and embraced her in a shameless kiss. Their tongues warred against each other outside of the confines of their owner's mouths. Their drool fell to the chest of the their living fuck toy down below as he felt the warm droplets tease him further.

The moment that the artistic mare broke her kiss, she took both of her hooves and pulled against the chest of Azure to bring himself closer to her. Finally, her climax hit her like a freight train as she started to not only suffocate the stallion below her, but drown him in her juices as she gushed on his face. Panting hard, she rested herself as her hooves remained anchored into his chest.

The musical mare continued to flop herself against the stallionhood of the unfortunate stallion below her. Her pants gave way to demonic grunts as she raised her head to the air in response to the orgasm she was experiencing. Her tongue flopped outside of her mouth as her eyes rolled to the back of her head, her back arched into a perfect semicircle as she rose even higher off of the stallion below. As the tip of his grool-covered mass started to exit from within her creaming marehood, she dropped herself as hard as she could. Her full body weight fell atop of Azure as he cringed in agony.

*clop clop clop clop clop clop*

"Cum harder. Cum harder. Cum harder." She chanted as she impaled herself, trying to scratch the internal itch she suffered from. "Harder. Harder. Harder. Harder. HarderHarderHARDERHARDER"

His dick started to pulse lightly as the mare that rode him continued her orgasm as it soon ascended into yet another, colliding with the previous orgasm she already experienced. She stopped herself on the hilt of his throbbing meat and ground herself against him and circled her hoof around her clit until she bent backwards in bliss. With a tug of her hoof against her sopping mound, she pulled herself free as she finally released the geyser that she managed to suppress up until that moment. The powerful streams of vaginal fluid splashed all over the mare that rested above his face and the chest of the stallion she rode on.

"He's so close... I can feel... him wanting to let go."

"Haaaaah... Symphony, please. Let him cum inside of me, please. You've been riding him the entire time." The artistic mare pleaded as she adjusted herself to release her captive from her erotic leg lock.

"Fat chance, Palette. I worked for this nut, and now I'm gonna get it!" Symphony rebutted as she started to rise and fall from the stallion down below. Palette didn't find her accomplice's statement fair as she pounced on the mare in front of her.

"It's my turn!"

"Fuck off bitch!"

The two mares suddenly launched at each other in a display of dominance, a stark contrast to the scene that unfolded not even two minutes prior. As Palette shoved Symphony off of the quivering stallion cock, she grasped the lengthy shaft and shifted it into her eager depths before taking a brief plunge. As Azure's face twisted in a mix of pain and pleasure, his cock jolted back and forth as he felt his climax approach.

"GET OFF!" Symphony screamed as she punched the opposing mare in the face, knocking her off of him completely.

As Palette pulled off of him, the clenching tightness of her retreat was too much for Azure as his gyrating spire unleashed an initial stream of semen that rode down the side of his cock. His proceeding streams were much more fierce as his stallionhood bobbed back and forth, milking out every last ounce of his cock milk. Trying to fulfill his orgasm, he thrusted himself into the air, causing more of his creamy white nectar to ascend from it's spout into the air and onto the floor below.

The other stallions saw this as an opportunity to rescue their friend before anything else was to befall the bound stallion. Shining lit his horn to remove the belt that wrapped the forelegs of Azure, setting him free. He even released a trinket set upon his horn, previously unseen due to the mare that sat on his upper-extremities. But as soon as Azure stood up, the other two mares took notice of their escaping prisoner...

...as well as three others.

"I think I just came a little." Palette whispered as her haunches started at the sight of three other stallions with eager erections growing from underneath.

"So... much... cock..." Symphony drooled in newly revived anticipation as her itch reemerged within the depths of her nethers.

As Azure slowly turned to the others while keeping an eye on the mares in front of them, he whispered to them.

"...Run."

All four broke into a gallop as they ran out of the bathroom and into the hallways. One by one, they drifted the corner and bolted down the hallway. But they soon found themselves being pursued by the two pitiless, hormonally-imbalanced mares.

"Come back!"

"Stop those steeds!"

As the four galloped in the hallway they saw that their school had become a cesspool of filthy, lewd exhibit of mare behavior. As they passed one hallway, Poindexter saw a mare backing herself into the corner of an open locker door. Her fluids trailed down the door and onto the floor, creating a puddle of indecent liquids. She moaned quietly as she grounded her moistened lips against the door.

In another hall they passed, Longshot saw another mare as she drove a hoof in between her legs without a care of who was to see her. Her hoof yanked up and down in desperation of relieving the burning sensation that plagued her. Her hind legs splayed open as she held the fur of her chest. She moaned loudly in hopes of having a stallion coming to see her in her deranged state.

As the four ascended the stairs and climbed to the main hallway, they felt what appeared to be a leak. But what they felt was the raining fluids of two pegasi mares brutally grinding against each other in mid air. Their marehoods pressed against each other as they grabbed each other's hind legs. One mare licked the hoof of the other. The other receiving said treatment was kissing the leg she held against her chest. They had lost all hope of being fulfilled, therefore they took to the comforts of each other. Little did they know, that four fleeting stallions were making their escape below.

As the four stallions ran out of the building and across the courtyard, they looked all over to see random mares scattered across the campus, all of them performing a variety of explicit acts to themselves, others or the stallions that were unfortunate enough to get themselves caught.

"It looks like a zombie apocalypse around here!" Poindexter panted.

"I think you've been reading too many comic books!" Longshot wheezed.

"I think that all of you need to pay the fuck attention to what's ahead! We've got company!" Azure huffed.

"What kind?" Shining gasped.

"I'll give you a hint: It's of a magically-winged variety!" Azure answered back.

"...Fuck me." Shining mumbles to himself as he and the other members of his party come to a complete stop at the front gate.

A pink alacorn mare awaited them at the entrance of the school. She just stood there silently as she waited for the stallion that she's been wanting to see. From a distance she seemed perfectly normal. But as they got up close, they saw that she was really in bad shape. Her mane was disheveled as the separate colors spiked, curled, knotted and frizzled out from one another. Her eyes seemed distant, the luminescent glow that once filled them had become a shine as dull as rust. She constantly poked and prodded her hooves into the cobblestones below her. And as she saw Shining, she slowly trotted to him, rather than sprint for him.

"Shining... I've waited all day. Where have you been?"

"Heyyyy Amora," Shining said nervously as he back away slowly. "How's it been?"

"Oh you know. The usual. But I assure you, nothing that involves mahogany furniture."

Shining jumped at the outlandish statement. "Wait what?"

"What now?"

"Uhhh... Are you... oka-"

"GREAT! Never better!" Amora stated as her right eye twitched.

"I think something is wrong. Maybe you should head home and rest."

Amora giggled as she heard his recommendation. "Oh please. You know that I can't go home without you. I mean, we still have that project to do with the stuff, anatomy, horns, magic, ball-gags-"

"What I'm saying..." Shining interrupted. "...is that I should be going home too."

Amora is left in shambles as the words crashes into her ears like a runaway carriage. "...no. I'm leaving here. And you will come with me. You have no other options available to you."

Shining was offended by her words as he stepped towards the estranged mare. "My options are what I want them to be, Amora! And if I want to go home to avoid all of this, then I will do so without as much as a second thought. I make my own decisions and I will adhere to my own decisions."

"You are not leaving without me."

Shining paused as he looked at the insistent mare. "...I'll see you later Amora."

As he teleported away in a single flash, Amora stomped on the ground in protest to his sudden departure. "SHINING ARMOR, YOU INSENSITIVE JERK!" The other three stallions looked at the crazed mare with fear as they slowly backed away. Amora turned back to the three teens. "My interest is not in you three... but I do believe that the others behind you have taken more than enough interest in you to last all week."

The three stallions turn around to find that a group of estrus-ridden mares have turned a pack of giggling predators. Before they could say anything else, Amora spreads her wings and takes to the air, leaving the others to find Shining Armor.

"So this is how it ends?" Poindexter asks himself before closing his eyes to accept his fate.

Longshot screams to the sky, begging for Amora to get them out of this mess. "Amora, please! You've got to do somethi-"

"Too late. Poindexter's got the right idea... Longshot, let's give 'em what they want. It'll be easier that way." Azure calmly explained.

"I think that one mare crushed your brain back in the bathroom. ARE YOU NUTS!?" Longshot screamed not wanting to accept that they're completely surrounded.

"Yeah I got 'em, but we're the ones surrounded by a pack of horny, sex-enslaved fillies who's only sole desire is to get off. So in this case... PRESENT ARMS!"

Azure and Longshot sits on the ground below as they finally surrender. As he sits down, Azure begins to fondle himself with his hoof, slowly stroking his sheath to stimulate himself. Longshot starts to do the same but finds that the occasion is a little awkward.

"Can I look the other way? Seeing another dude hoofing his junk is kinda creepy."

"Yeah, do that."

Longshot turns himself to where he's facing back to back from Azure. The promiscuous mares around them pant and moan in excitement in seeing the three stallions teasing themselves in the open air for all to see. They slowly approach their willing prey with elation as their nethers burn for a hard cock to plunge deep into their throats, penetrating their moistened folds and their puckered asses. Longshot mumbles to his friends before the ensuing schoolyard orgy begins to take place.

"I hate it that the estrus season causes mares to act so out of character. But I guess they are still saying that they do consent to the act. And since that's the case... My body was born ready."

Author's Note

Explanation: As to why Cadance would leave the others in the courtyard is because she knew that they would be looking out for Shining Armor in this type of situation. So she leaves them preoccupied with the other mares so that she can pursue Shining without an interruption. And also that she won't have to find herself in a bait-n-switch situation.

Stay tuned.
