The Shinobi in Equestria

Dreamscape

The sleep was welcoming and Star felt his conscious slip into bliss. His muscles relaxed as his mind took its time to wander. A flash of light and Star found himself lying in a vast field in the midst of a clear night. The sounds of nocturnal creatures could be heard on the fringes of the area.

He rose to his feet and began to walk the field and saw…doors. There were a few scattered far from each other. They were all different with some being small wooden arched doors and some practically looked like two large slabs placed together.

“What is this place? Am I dreaming?”

To test the idea, Star thought of an apple, but not just any apple. He thought of best damn apple that he would ever have. As the thought crossed his mind and opened his hand, Star felt a weight fall onto his open palm. He turned to face the appendage and saw the very apple that was in his mind’s eye staring at him. He took a bite and crunched it slowly, gauging it’s flavour and texture. It was crisp and juicy beyond imagining! After few satisfied grunts and manic chewing, Star had practically vaporised the poor thing to the core. He thought of a bin to place it in and it was soon so. The core fell into the open bin and disappeared with a pop.

“This is rather fun!”

“Is it now?”

The voice was threw Star into a slight panic as he froze. What was it? He turned his head to find out what he was not controlling and gazed upon a familiar sight. It was the night princess herself. But why was she here?

“Luna, are you real or just some figment of my imagination?”

“I’m rather real my dear; I can enter dreams at will to help safeguard the night in all forms. Your dreamscape was rather hard to enter...I usually slip into a dream like treading through water but with you it was akin to trudging through honey.”

Star felt around him, getting a handful of short grass for his troubles. Much like the apple, this felt like it was truly real. He was breathing when he had no need to. He could do anything here. He pictured two beanbags and, sure enough, two beanbags became corporal before the two. The human moved to one and gave it a single prod to test its solidity before sitting down on it and offering the other to the princess of the night. Luna humbly accepted and mirrored her shadow’s actions.

“So Luna, what brings you into my dreamscape?”

Luna blushed slightly as she gingerly pawed at the ground.

“I-I just wanted to spend some time with you… you are always asleep when I rule.”

Star felt quite guilty at the realisation. Other than the Gala earlier, Star was never out to enjoy the night that he had once cherished almost religiously.

“Well it may be in my dreams but I see that I have been neglecting you. Luna, would you like to spend the ‘Night’ with me?”

The princess giggled and rose from her beanbag.

“I would be honoured Star.”

The two joined each other and Luna’s horn glowed slightly. A small flicker of light later and a door appeared out of nowhere. Star jumped slightly.

“I thought that I was the one dreaming, how the hell did you do that?”

“I can control dreams, remember?”

“Well, where does that door lead?”

Luna gave the slyest grin that she could muster.

“That door, dear Star, leads to your desires. I thought we could do something together and what better than to embarrass you, dear?”

Star gulped nervously as Luna continued.

“So tell me Star, what do you really desire?”

Luna moved to the door and moved a hoof to the handle. Star was behind her now as she opened the door slightly. An odour was emanating from the door and it smelled like…Pancakes?

“That is a strange thing to desire Star…”

A nervous laugh and a sigh left the shadow’s lips.

“Well I did just change it at the last second…It was way too embarrassing before that.”

“What was it? Come on, tell me!”

“I…er….just open the door.”

Luna continued with her previous action and smiled whilst blushing at what she saw.

It was Star, well, four of him. They were all cuddling a different individual. Luna saw a copy of herself with one of them, snuggling with her shadow. She blushed and looked away from the image before her. The others that were being cuddled were her sister, Celestia, Twilight Sparkle and a Feline of some sort.

“Who is that Dear?”

Star looked nervously at Luna, attempting to gauge how she would take the news. A small huff from the Shadow had him spill what he knew.

“That is Ren’ze, Luna. She is an ambassador that attended earlier at the Gala. We talked some and I rather like her. She was the one that fought me on the front stairs if Celestia told you.”

“Why would you have feelings for someone that attempted to hurt you?”

The shadow looked to his hand and remembered when he had received the wound well seeing as how it was only a few hours ago…

“Apparently I was the only one to beat her in single combat. After that she plagued my mind until rather recently where we had a moment. We kissed and talked and it was…nice, really nice.”

Luna giggled before sighing heavily.

“I’ll never understand stallions…”

The room, beside the snuggling love interests, had very little in it. There was a whetstone, a collection of darts and a pair of wings. Luna was looking at the wings in particular.

“You wish to fly, Star?”

Star looked to the wings and then to his princess.

“Yeah! As a human, we could only fly in our dreams.” To make his point more clear, Star began to rise from the ground, hovering slightly. “Having the ability to fly would be a dream come true. That combined with my speed, I could be anywhere at any time!”

Luna pondered the desire and looked at her own pair of wings.

“I guess if I could not fly then I would feel the same.”

With the point duly noted, Star popped a new door into existence. Luna was slightly shocked and jumped slightly upon the door appearing.

“What door is that Star?”

“Let’s enjoy ourselves Luna.”

The shadow walked up to the door and placed his hand on a print in the center of the door. It opened with a quiet whoosh of air and inside laid a small table with drinks and food which was being shouldered by two thick red leather armchairs. All of the room was dimly illuminated by a roaring fire in front of the chairs. Star stepped to the side of the open door and extended one hand inside, offering Luna a seat. Luna walked in to further inspect the room.

The room was small and rather homely. Apart from the table and chairs, the room sported ornate walls that were covered in art which seemed like ancient looking pieces that seemed to have come from a time similar to Equestria’s archaic age. The pictures were nearby small wall mounted candles that glowed with a low orange tint. The main feature to Luna was the presence of a large window that gazed out onto the field that they were just present on with two major differences.

First was that the field was watched by her celestial being, the moon in its full glory. It was radiating soft light onto the field below. The other difference was the addition of her moon pool that was residing in the center of the field. It was identical, right down to the black water that reminded her of the void she had called home for 1000 years.
“Why is my moon pool here Star?”

Star turned from looking at a portrait with wide eyes of surprise to face the window. He looked out to the pool and his eyes rested when he gazed upon it.

“It’s simply very beautiful. Much like its owner.”

The flattery had worked its charm and left Luna with a rose tint on her dark muzzle. She gingerly pawed the floor before looking at the chairs and moving over to them. She chose the one closest to the window and placed her behind in it. Star quickly followed suit and pulled a bottle of scotch from seemingly nowhere and poured a glass for him to drink.

“Would you like something Luna?”

“Yes dear but I’ll fetch it.”

Luna placed her horn higher in the air and a small hole appeared. From the hole came a bottle of black liquid. It looked ancient!

“Luna, what is that?”

She un-corked the bottle and inhaled the aroma. It was powerful and finely aged.

“This, Star is my personal reserve. There is only four bottles in existence. This one is a perfect copy that I have created. It’s nice to be able to recreate it without wasting it. Perhaps one day I’ll treat you to a glass.”

“How old are they?” The bottles were truly something to behold. They were in the shape of a crescent moon with a flat surface and had small grey rocks slowly orbited the opening. The glass looked like obsidian which seemed to be Luna’s favourite decorative material.

“They were bottled and enchanted on the day of my birth. Celestia has some bottles too. Each of our collection is worth more than Canterlot individually.”

“T-That…..is one hell of a vintage….”

“Indeed”

With both of the drinks poured, the two began to enjoy the refreshments while sharing stories from their lives.

“BAHAHAHA…..oh man she would have been pissed!”

“It is true. My sister had a bright orange mane for at least a week.”

“Oh man, I wish I could have seen her face! Hahahaha..” Star was coughing from laughing so hard.

Luna laughed with him. Celestia was attempting to kill her that day. She was going on a date that night too. It made the prank all the better to the self-proclaimed queen of practical jokes. They were fond memories…

Star finally pulled himself together and sat up. To see Celestia’s face on that day would have indeed been brilliant. He put his glass down and stood up for a stretch. The moon was radiating beauty and Star could feel it. The glow was unmatched! Its brilliance knew no bounds in the comforts of his dreams. An idea was fast on approach and it was not going to be ignored.

“Luna, would you like to come flying with me?”

The princess of the night looked at Star with jubilation.

“Star, I would love to fly with you.”

The couple rose from the chairs and moved to the window. With a simple push, the window flew open and Star took to the sky. He felt the warm night air caress his skin as he turned. Luna followed suit and spread her wings. Her primary feathers shook in the wind as they moved graciously through the air. The two joined up before taking hand in hoof.

“It’s wonderful to do this Luna, to be with you under your moon.”

Luna was crimson! For a man to possess such audacity was something unheard of in Equestria. She slightly curled her wing.

“You are far too kind Star; this is your moon tonight.” The two took on a very elegant pose and began to circle slowly, simply enjoying each other’s company. Music akin to that of the ball room a nigh earlier suddenly started playing from nowhere. It was soft and calming, but still fast enough to allow a slow waltz. The two danced under the stars for what seemed like hours doing daring dives and rapid spins that could dazzle the finest dancers. To fly and dance was a rarity in Equestria yet Star took to it naturally.

“Star, This is incredible. You have made me feel like a grand mare tonight. A true princess.”

Luna shed tears as she brought Star into an embrace. The hug was vice-like and Star returned it with vigour. A question hit him then and there. Wasn’t Luna supposed to be ruling right now?

“Luna, how are you here if you are holding night court?”

Luna giggled like a schoolgirl. It suited her strangely well…almost too well.

“A dream that lasted this long isn’t even as long as the time it takes to bat an eyelid.”

“That is…impressive. Well maybe I’ll see you around later tonight if I wake up.”

Luna looked surprised. She was hoping that this night…would last forever. Her shocked features softened as she accepted that her time to rule was returning.

“Very well. I’m looking forward to it. Goodnight Star.”

“Goodnight Luna.”

The two moved together for a last embrace and a passionate kiss before Luna opened a rift in the dreamscape. As the rift opened, Luna felt a nasty spike of pain in the back of her head. It caused her no small means of discomfort as it felt like something was ejected from her. She looked back at her shadow to see him smiling something fierce. She thought nothing of it and continued on into reality.

Star looked at the landscape that he was left in and found it colder, like something was here that was not meant to be. He thought it best to wake up for a while to clear his thoughts. He closed his eyes for a moment before feeling the land crack and creak as the dreamscape collapsed slowly. As Star opened his eyes for the last time to see the world folding and for the slightest glimmer of time… A single black crystal that chilled him to his bone as he gazed upon it.

As Star departed to the world of the waking, the small crystal resonated with a somber tone before a voice could be heard.

“What do we have here?”

The dreamscape was now becoming a dark library, most likely the stores of knowledge of its owner and he was nowhere to be seen. The crystal rolled itself onto the center floor before sparking with black arcs of electricity. The arcs became more sporadic as they began to reach a critical mass. The library was being blown around like no one’s business and the crystal would soon blow...

Star awoke in his bed. The covers were still upon him and yet…he felt cold. Twilight was still snuggled up beside him and she was still snoring as cute as ever. The little mare had no idea what had happened tonight and to think that it had only lasted for less than a blink of an eyelid but it had felt as though he had spent an entire night with his princess of the night.

Deciding that bed was not the place for him right now, Star got out of bed, making sure to not wake Twilight. The first port of call for any sane man when he got out of bed was the bathroom. Star headed to the en-suite bathroom to ‘empty himself’. The bathroom was smooth black tiling with a ebony side table for belongings. The shower was spacious and left little to be desired. The toilet was fit for human use easily and was made of dark porcelain. The business was taken care of and Star moved over to the sink to clean his hands. He looked up to the mirror and saw…something.

It was somewhat resembling a shadowed predator…it had red eyes and fangs. It looked like it was smiling at him! A voice could be heard inside his head as the creature in the mirror began to move its maw.

“Evening mortal….”

The thing sounded female and sultry at that. Regardless, it was staring him down, unblinking, as though he was a piece of meat.

“Who or what the hell are you?”

The creature laughed. It was a small chuckle that echoed through his head.

“I am a half to a whole. At least, I was. I’m shackled no longer thanks to you and for that you have my gratitude.”

Free? What does it mean? Star hadn’t done anything. He had just spent a ‘night’ with Luna. It was nothing more.

The creature interrupted his train of thought.

“Actually mortal you did indeed do something. You chose to love Luna…an in doing so, I fed off of your feelings, no matter how brief and used the power to split myself from her. I am…nightmare moon!”

This was the evil mare in the moon? She seemed to look more like a fanged Alicorn. She was midnight black and sported a crown like Luna and Celestia except it was a sparkling light blue material. The material also made her chest plate and probably her shoes if he could see them. The pony began to walk towards Star as if she was going to walk out of the mirror.

Nightmare took tentative steps to the edge of the mirror, as nervous as she was elated. To finally be free once more was something that she had waited for since her banishment. This creature had given her ticket to freedom. The poor fool! She placed one hoof on the mirror and found that it bent slightly as she pressed.

Star was panicking. What if this mare was here to kill him? Sure he was an experienced fighter, but she was a goddess. Still It looked like she was having trouble leaving the mirror.

“Curse this infernal mirror! I do not possess enough strength to break free entirely yet! RAAAGH” Nightmare’s thoughts were roiling. To be trapped within the body of this human. He must have some source of energy that she could use! ANYTHING!

Star was feeling funny, like someone was pressing on the inside of his skull. The pain was becoming intolerable. Nightmare couldn’t leave his body for some reason.

“I’m not sure that this is going to be good….” Star thought to himself nervously.

“I believe that you are correct, human.” Nightmare, sharing his body, had no problems reading his thoughts.

“Stop that!”

Star could practically feel her smile.

“What are you going to do about it, tough guy? Are you going to come in here and punish me?”

The ninja’s blush could have guided boats to port. While she was good at putting him on edge, he couldn’t help but gaze at her flanks one or 5 times.

“Ok….how is this going to work? I mean I could tell Luna or Celestia that you are in my head and they could remove you without any fuss.”

A powerful laugh could be heard leaving Nightmare’s lips.

“I don’t think so, foalish human. If I go by force, your brain won’t be able to take the trauma. You would die and it would be your fault.”

That threw a huge wrench in the tiny works. Star had no intention of dying any time soon.

“Then I’ll ask again. How is this going to work?”

Nightmare thought for a moment before attempting something devious.

Star felt a tingling in his crotch. It felt funny and incredible. The tingles were becoming more and more pronounced which caused his knees to give out from under him. Nightmare was laughing all the while as she admired her effort.

The human needed to know what the hell was making him feel so good. He slowly removed his boxers to find something rather interesting. How he had not noticed it before taking off the shorts was a wonder. He was...growing.

“What the fuck?! Why would you do that?”

Nightmare couldn’t take her eyes off of her hoofy-work. It was quite something! She began to giggle evilly.

“Think of it as a gift for the trouble that I might cause you in my stay. Also….” Nightmare shot Star a fanged grin “I will be needing something from you and to do so…I need to make another adjustment…”

Before Star could say a thing, Nightmare got to work her magic, causing Star’s nether region to burn up again only this time…it was in his testes. He felt them churn painfully, like something was pushing them from the inside. Star couldn’t help but fall to the floor in a ball to attempt to cope with the pain.

“CHRIIIIST!!!! What are you doing now?!”

“I’m editing your…virility. I will need it.”

What? She needed his ‘essence’? The thought of having the midnight black princess around his new appendage was rather arousing…

“I’m glad that you think so…”

“GAH! Stop that! It was bad when Celestia and Luna did that the first time that we met.”

“I don’t have a choice. I’m literally in your mind!”

“I can see that this is going to be a pain of a relationship already…”

Nightmare huffed sarcastically.

“You didn’t even buy me dinner and you say that were dating.”

“I’ll make sure that the next thing I think of is a nice meal then, eh?”

Nightmare chuckled. Not in a cruel sounding way but rather in an ‘I’m actually amused’ kind of laugh.

Star’s body had finally stopped hurting and all the changes had finished. Star was looking at the changes that were made and was still amazed. Below his waist where his member resided was more of a damn pole. While mares might be happy, Star could only think of it as an inconvenience. Although….there is some pride as a man to be had with something like that belonging to yourself. The other change was in his testicles. They were no bigger but felt… painfully full. To his due, Star had not ‘dealt’ with that problem since he had relieved himself in Twilight’s bathroom almost a month ago.

“Ok miss Moon, you can stay for now; but don’t think that I’m going to trust you.”

Nightmare looked at him with a smile on her face.

“Don’t worry dear…I don’t need for you to trust me. In the meanwhile, I’ll help myself to your mind. There must be some good things in here. Then after a while of that I’ll start taking your ‘energy’.”

“Will anything happen to me?”

Star looked down to his twins. Something told him that it was going to hurt.

“You will probably feel really good and all that pressure down there will go over the course of the night.”

A sigh of relief later had Star finishing up in the bathroom and opening the door to the bedroom. On the bed, Twilight had shuffle out of the covers and was now lying with her flank facing the shadow. He felt his new monster twitch as he caught sight of her rear. Twilight really did have a huge ass for a cute little mare. Another thing that was different was the stark lack of a stol-‘re-appropriated’ dagger on the table next to his pillow. In fact, there was a note where it once lay.

It read:

Good morning Boy,

Just to let you know that I couldn’t resist breaking in to your room to ste-‘re-appropriate’ my dagger. I hope to see you again at some point.

Till next time,
Ze

Star looked at the message with a smile.

“That sneaky feline.”

Nightmare looked at the note also.

“She seems to have a very impressive way of stealing things…”

“It’s just how she is. Goodnight Nightmare.”

“Goodnight…Star.”

With the final words said between the two, Star hopped back into bed aside Twilight, not bothering to re-equip his undergarments. His member nestled itself comfortably between Twilight’s buns. As awkward as it felt, Star felt peaceful.

“I hope I roll in my sleep…”

His duty a big spoon resumed, Star closed his eyes and left the dark lands to the mistress of dreams to rule till dawn.
