The Shinobi in Equestria

The Maze

*Plink!*

Star looked down at his thigh to find a small hole in his Shokozu and something else….an unnatural warmth that had begun to spread throughout his loins.

“So this is what the Princess meant by debilitated…” Whatever the small green, metal pellet was coated in, it was working its wonders. The warmth felt wondrous! Star was forced to his knees attempting to acclimatize his body its new hindrance. If one pellet could do this much ‘harm’ then imagine how many of those bloody mischievous things the ladies had in that maze. It shook Star to the bone thinking of what would happen if he actually was debilitated. He would be at the mercy of two goddesses…

*Gulp*

Star did his best at dealing with his predicament and rose from his knees and looked at what lied ahead of him. Down the natural corridor was nothing but a plain walk way which had a hedge to each side. The end of the corridor had two branches to it, each leading in opposite directions. They looked pretty harmless. However...Just in case, Star was going to find the damnable launcher that shot him in the leg. He looked down the corridor and saw…nothing. He furrowed his brow and started to look at it in a more logical way. The pellet flew straight and hit him in the thigh. It would be roughly at waist height. He looked again, this time with a more educated eye. A small glint could be seen in the end shrub, a brilliant reflection of the moon was now clearly visible.

It was a small looking contraption with a barrel and a winch next to it that was attached to a hammer. The hammer looked like it was what had hit the ball into Star’s thigh! Goddamn evil Celestia… Star approached cautiously and managed to move up to the machine.

“This isn’t really all that bad!” Star took one step forward and…

*Ziiii*

Star froze in place at the sound. It was that horrifying sound. It was the sound of a tripwire brushing against fabric. His! A small tap could be heard in the distance and Star began to move. He placed his back to a hedge just in time to see a small green pellet glide slowly by his shoulder. It landed softly and silently in the grass. These things were just damn impossible to spot! Star tried to search for a single tripwire in a slight panic, hoping to find just one trigger.

No such luck befell the ninja and to make matters worse, the 1st pellet’s effects were really beginning to kick in. Star fell to his knees once again as a new-found surge of pleasure washed over his form. It was like a lover soothing his every ache. It was as though it was telling him that he should simply give in. His hands began to move to his waist as his eyes began to glaze over, slowly losing his will to fight the demon of a toxin that the princesses had inflicted on him. His mind filled with dirty thoughts in a wave of lust. One such image was of Twilight with her face in his crotch, his member hilted in her throat, thrusting for all of his worth. He could have sworn that it was real. The feeling of her tongue and throat closing on his cock was becoming horrifyingly good. He needed to snap out of this daze.

The daydream, however, began to worsen. The image of the purple unicorn began to talk.
“Oh Star, does it feel good using my throat? Doesn't it make you just want to pour all of your seed into my stomach?” This wasn't fair! No substance should make anything feel this real! Star began to calm himself. Nothing would get done if he couldn’t get his now rampant libido in check. He closed his eyes and relaxed, letting the dream take him, everything slowly fading. The visage of Twilight was now fading too as everything started to become white. The pleasure remained as he fell further into the white.

Star was now in what seemed like a bright expanse of nothing. There was nothing here. Star looked around and heard a voice.

“Hey!” It was childish, like a small boy that was far too interested in something.

“Who is that?!” Star was instantly put on edge. He reached for his sword. He would have reached for his sword…if it was there. The weapon was nowhere to be found on the ninja. He clambered for the weapon, but found only air. The voice began to giggle in the same tone of voice as earlier.

“Mister! You’re back!” The voice sounded closer this time.

Star looked around him in an attempt to locate the source but every time that he thought that he had located it, it would simply sound like it came from somewhere else.

“Where are you?” Star was nervous. He was in a strange place with no way of protecting himself other than his hands and his darts, which wouldn’t do all that good against any capable opponent.

A voice could be heard behind him once again. “I’m here silly!” Star turned in a flash, to see a young child looking back at him. The child was wearing a Pajama shirt and trousers which had a nightshade flower on the center of the shirt, the same that was tattooed on Star’s shoulder. The boy was holding a small hand mirror that was cracked down the center. He also had coal black hair and blood red eyes. He looked like a young version of Star!

“I haven’t seen you in a while mister! Where did you go? And what made you come back? Ooh, I think that I know! Whoa!”

The boy fell over his own feet and barreled forward into a light tumble, smashing into Star’s mid-section. They collapsed onto the floor in a heap. Star attempted to get up but was grappled by the child who was hugging him around the waist, preventing him from getting up.

“What are you doing? Who are you, kid? And why did you say that I was back?” Star wanted answers and so far he was getting absolutely none. The child began to get up and off of Star and looked up at him.

“You mean that you don’t remember me? You were gone for so long. You were broken.”

“Who are you?”

“I’m you!”

Star was taken aback!

“How are you me? You are so young. You look like me before I was…groomed for my squad back home…”

“I am! You went away when they took you. I thought that you would never come back! They did something to you. To us. I couldn’t talk to you and I didn’t change like you. We were disconnected. You seemed empty all the time, never happy or sad. They broke you. See?”

The boy handed Star the hand mirror that the boy had been holding. It was a mirror. It had ornate obsidian carved into the handle and had a heavily cracked mirror above it. Star looked into the mirror and saw nothing. The boy looked away slightly.

“What is it?”

“It shows what you are really. The mirror says that you are hollow. An empty shell if you will. It is all the clan needed of you. You were a pawn in their games. You were told to kill and destroy and you did it without question. Do you know why?”

“No.” Star was becoming more desperate to find out more about ‘himself’ at this point.

“They had you practically brainwashed. You were completely aware, but loyal to the end.”

“How did I get loose then? Was it something that they did? Did they mess up?”

The boy just shook his head. “No, it was when they asked you to lay waste to the orphanage. It was very traumatic to you, even throughout the mind control. The mix of moral trauma and emotion allowed you to break their spell on you. It was what got you banished and branded. Breaking free. The brand shows that you are a toxin. You were something that needed to be purged.”

Star began to bring light to the information being dealt to him. Why did they separate him from this boy? What was he? Why did he feel like he was so important?

“Why am I here?”

“You were losing yourself to your emotions. Your mark brought you here. It is actually a channel of power. It lets you focus on the finest details and perform feats that no human should be able to perform. It is like your speed but it is not a natural thing. I bet that the clan does not know the power they could have. You should probably spend some time thinking about how to properly unlock your tattoo's potential.”

The dream induced by the aphrodisiac! That was what caused him to lose himself. He began to wonder.

“How do I fix this mirror? What must I do?”

The boy began to smile. He held Star’s hand and looked up to him.

“You must first fix yourself. You need to learn to feel once more. Like a human, not a puppet.”

“I can feel! I can feel lust right now!”

“It is not strong enough to heal you…Lust is one of the weakest emotions because it is very common in the world in comparison to other emotions. One emotion that will be strong enough is love. It is the most pure emotion, the most powerful emotion. Another is friendship. People underestimate the feelings that come from companions. I bet that it would be easier to obtain than love too.”

Star began to smile. Today was not his day to lie down and accept his defeat. He had friends that he wanted to see again! He was going to get to the bottom of this. He would win this challenge and he was going to fix himself! He grabbed the child by the hand and shook it firmly before turning to the white that awaited him. He began to walk away and strode with purpose, a fire burning brightly under his feet.

“You’re right kid! I’m going to fix us, don’t worry about that. I’ll be back when I make some repairs!”

He turned to see him other self, no longer as a child, but as a teenager with long hair covering one of his eyes and a jacket with a nightshade pin on its lapel. He was beginning to cry tears of joy.

“You’re already fixing us. Now get out there and prove yourself! You have women to impress!” The boy chortled in a slightly deeper voice.

Star was about to depart when he noticed he had forgotten something.

“Hey kid! What are you to me?”

The teenage Star turned to his older counterpart and smiled with teary eyes.

“I’m your humanity….Thank you for coming back for me. Now go. People are waiting for you.”

Star turned to the white nothing and found a door waiting for him. The handle was glowing. He turned it and was instantly pulled through, sinking into an eternal blackness that brought him peace of mind as he was thrust back into his dream.

Star was still on his back with Twilight’s face buried in his crotch. It still felt amazing but something had to be done about this; he needed to wake up. Star began to push on Twilight’s head gently, causing her to back off of his member. She was looking him over with glazed eyes, lips covered in his essence. The unicorn looked absolutely disheveled with her mane in tatters and her fur matted with sweat. She began to speak in short intervals, attempting to get her breath back.

“Hey…Star…why did…we stop?”

“I can’t do this Twi. As grand as this feels, this is just a figure of my imagination. If we are going to do this at all, let it be in the real world. Should you feel the same in reality, then maybe we could be something of an item, given enough time and if our feelings bloom in this direction.

Twilight began to sniffle, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. They were not tears of sadness however as she knew that he was right. His kindness even in this predicament shone through once again. It was one of the many reasons that she had fallen for him. “Ok Star, I hope that my real self sees this caring side of you. You’re beginning to feel again. I’ll keep your libido under control for now, but I’ll be back soon so you better get out of this maze and to a princess soon, ok?”

Twilight moved up to the ninja’s face and wiped her mouth before planting a kiss on his cheek and with a wry smirk, began to fade. Star started to lose consciousness and began to fall. He felt himself returning slowly, to the land of the living.

“Real world here I come!”

The maze suddenly lit up a vibrant blue as a column of energy rode from Star. He had awoken and began to rise, feeling better than ever. He felt as though he could move mountains and survive a drop from orbit. Star looked to the rest of the maze to find a collection of triggers now clearly visible as red lines, standing out to the green shrubs that lay before him. He checked his gear carefully as the column of light subsided and he began to leap, slide and dodge his way through the now simple maze of traps with the grace of an Olympian athlete. The traps that were triggered had now become a trivial matter of moving out of the way. On occasion, Star would stop and slice the pellets with his sword, testing his new found perceptions. He could see insects beat their wings and see the veins on a leaf from 25 meters.

Luna was sitting in the center of the maze reading a journal of Starswirl the Bearded’s legendary spell crafting when she suddenly saw a beacon of light blaze skyward, turning night to day in the nearby vicinity. There was only one source in the maze at this time at night. It would be her beloved shadow.

“Astartes?! What has he done?” She rose from her seat and began to flap her wings. She was about to kick off of the ground when the column subsided. Luna lowered her wings and began to ponder what could have happened. Had something got to him? Did the traps have an adverse effect in Star? She feared for the outcome. She did not want to lose someone else that she had let so close to her heart. The sorrow from that so soon from her return would surely loose Nightmare once more.

Luna thought the worst when all of a sudden; she heard grunts of exertion in the distance. They sounded like….Star! He was moving forward! Her heart rose from its depths and began to sing at the good news. She was so happy that he was progressing. There was a part of her, a substantial part, which hoped that he failed and succumbed to his lust. She would have loved to have come to his rescue and ‘saved’ him. The thought of the two of them making love was sending shivers down Luna’s frame, causing no short amount of pleasure.
“I hope he makes it here soon. Celestia will be here to switch soon and I would like him to myself tonight…”

Star was making terrifying progress. He was almost hovering through the maze now, only touching the floor to change his jumps course. The maze was becoming less of a winding path of uncertainty and more of a lane to freedom. It was as though he knew had run this maze one hundred times. The ending must have been nearing by now.

The traps were getting far denser now and even with such incredible agility and perception, Star was now on the backfoot once more. It was as though this part was intended to cause failure. Why would one of the princesses do this? Star was now dodging more pellets than tripwires. He ducked under one only to have to roll to the side as another went through where he once was. The end must have been near if this was occurring.

Star turned the corner and saw a welcome sight. A Smiling princess waiting for him. Luna was at the end of a long corridor…that was devoid of any traps. After that last stunt, Star was not going to take any damn chances at this part of the test. He looked in front of him and found that he could not see any wires what so ever, there was nothing visible at all.
“Here goes nothing...” Star began to walk forward. His eyes now focused on Luna who was practically beaming. She had him to herself! It was almost dawn too. Celestia would no doubt arrive within minutes. The sun began to rise over the horizon. Luna caught on quickly and began to lower the moon to make space for her sister’s celestial body.

Star was now halfway down the corridor and still advancing. So far he had been uninterrupted.

*PLINK! PLINK! PLINK!*

Star was wide eyed as three pellets had lodged themselves in his lower back. How?! There was no wires that he could have tripped. He was sure of it! What could have shot them? Star looked back and saw the ground behind him moving slightly. Of course! These traps were invisible! Star would have no chance avoiding these pellets if he couldn’t see or hear them coming.

Only one thing to do then…

Run!

Star broke into a dash, his speed failing him due to his lust clouding his thoughts. The daydream that he was having a while back had begun to return along with Twilight who reeked of sex. The visage looked as though she had gone insane. Twilight said only three words before giving chase to the poor man.

“RUT. ME. NOW!”

The crazed unicorn belted down the corridor after Star, gaining slowly as Star began to lose consciousness.

Luna was unsure what was going on. This corridor was supposed to be free of traps. Why was Star still under attack from them? Did someone rig more traps than were originally placed in the maze? She began to move to the edge of the inner circle, ready to catch Star as he arrived. And arrive he did.

Star practically dove into the inner circle of the maze, falling into Luna’s hooves. He laid there, body racked with insatiable lust. He needed to fuck something! NOW! He was in turmoil.
Luna looked at her shadow and smiled as she spoke.
“Congratulations. You pass my beloved.”

Star began to smirk slightly before darkness overcame him and he began to slip into a deep slumber.
Luna sat in the garden for a few minutes, simply holding her shadow in her hooves. He had done far better than expected for someone who couldn’t see her in his room. He was truly something!

A flap of wings could be heard in the distance and the goddess of the sun landed aside her sister. Upon seeing her shadow in her sister’s hooves, she began so speak.

“I assume that he had fun dear sister? How long has he been finished?” Celestia had a slight smirk on her face.
Luna began to smile herself as her sister began to sit down next to her.

“He has been out of the maze for about 10 minutes. He seemed content. Though there was a collection of traps on the last leg of the maze where we didn’t place any traps. Was that you Celestia?”

Celestia looked at her sister and gasped before shaking her head slightly.

“No Lu-Lu, I didn’t. The poor thing must be struggling just to stay asleep through all those lustful nightmares he must be going through right now.”

Luna placed the ninja on her back and spread her wings.

“I’ll place him in your bed if that is okay Celestia. You won’t be using it till tonight and I need some sleep. Please make sure to check up on him through the day. He will be assertive to mares sexually until we deal with him.”

“I’ll be sure to see to him personally throughout the day Lu-Lu. Now go, you need your sleep.”

Luna paid her thanks and took flight. She slowly became a dot as she flew to Celestia’s tower, followed by her own.
Celestia looked down the corridor that Star had bolted down. She gave a sigh as a voice began to speak to her.

"Only a matter of time my dear Celesita..."

"Please tell me that you didn't set those whilst i was sleeping..."

The voice began to laugh. It was almost identical to Celestia's but had a much more sultry tone to it.

"I'm not one to lie to you Celly. I did place them there. I don't want to be contained like this anymore, I want to be able to have a bit of my own freedom instead of a week a year when you are in estrus."

Celestia knew that all too well. Every cycle that she had, she had to lock herself in her tower with Luna placing her most advanced locks possible around her chamber, preventing escape.

"The havoc that you would cause would be too great!"

"But now you have a channel! Something that can handle me. Just give me one day with him. I want to show him that you have another side to yourself. Plus I...have come to think that he's kind of cute.."

Celestia was shocked to say the least.

"So you're saying that you feel more than just lust towards a male? or any gender for that matter."

"I think so. I have never felt like this. I was watching him in the maze whilst you were sleeping. He was on the floor battling inside himself. I need to be with him, if only for a day!"

Celestia sighed and began to come to a conclusion.

"He is racked with lust till a princess deals with him. later today, you can cure him of it on one condition."

"And what might that be?"

"You leave him alive Molly. I love that human dearly."

The voice began to chuckle warmly in agreement.

"Me too my sweet Celestia, me too."
