Twin Moon: Phase 3 New Crescent

Twin Moon:

Phase 3 New Crescent

After the odd meeting with the mysterious alicorn, Soul quickly made it back to his room to grab his stuff. All thoughts on what the alicorn said to him, and why her appearance looked too much like Luna’s. But what got under his skin the most was the fact that the voice in his head wasn’t joking about leaving him to think for himself for a week. Soul pulled his duffle bag over his shoulder and headed to the transport to meet up with the others. With the silence ringing in his head, Soul’s thoughts were able to wander back to his months of study under Luna.

In the course of a mere six months, Soul has learn what it would naturally take a unicorn years of study and practice. Granted though that most of his teachings were about controlling aspects of night magic, but ahead he still was. Soul then thought about the reasons Luna was forcing him on the trip in the first place. Humm...maybe a break won’t be that bad.

There you go pup. Soul stop in the middle of the hallway a confused look on his face.

I thought you said that you’re taking a break for the week?

I am but you’re not on the trip just yet, and I could tell that there was on stuff on your mind. Care to talk about it?

Well where were you five minutes ago?

I have other stuff to do.

Like what? You’re a voice inside of my head.

Stuff, now what is it?

It’s that alicorn from earlier, I know she the one from my dreams, but I don’t know what it means…

It means that you need this vacation more than you thought.

So you’re calling me crazy? Great.

Well you’ve always been crazy, but yeah. Look, stop worrying about every little thing and just go with the flow of things, and if all else fails rely on your canine instincts.

You better be right.

Of course I’m right, now get going.

The voice ended the link that it and Soul shared, leaving him once again to his own thoughts. Deciding that he’s been to get it over with, Soul use the quick-step technique to teleport to the landing pad where he knew the transport was at. Reopening his eyes, Soul saw that the all of the mares, plus the fight crew, were all there waiting on him. Soul’s eyes fell on the transport, still unable to get over the feeling that he would get just looking at it. To Soul, the transport looked like a big blue metal bird, with windows on either side of it. Luna had explained to him before that it was the product of various advances in Equestrian magical mechanical-engineering, but Soul still only had one word for the mechanical marvel:

Badass.

Yeah, that.

“So, Soul are you ready to go?” Luna’s voice broke him out of his daze. Soul looked over to Luna and nodded, she then motioned to Stormfly and Sugar. “I hope you don’t mind that these two are coming as well?”

Soul raised an eyebrow at this new information. “Oh, they’re coming as well? I’ve had no idea.” He said in a sarcastic tone.

You are the worst liar in the history of liars, and we’ve met Discord.

Hey speaking of Discord…

“Hey, master Luna, where’s Discord I haven’t seen him all morning.” Soul pointed out the god’s absence.

“Oh!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed, jumping in the air with a bountiful amount of energy. “I’ve left him in charge of the shop.” She said bouncing around Soul, she grabbed his arm, and spun him around. When Soul managed to regain a sense of balance, he was face to face with Pinkie’s bright blue eyes. “I wonder how’s he doing? Oh well I’m sure that nothing going too wrong, cause if it was my Pink-” Pinkie stopped her ongoing barrage of words when her tail, ears, and nose started to twitch uncontrollably. “Uh-oh, sorry guys I’ve got to go,” She said in a serious tone, putting on a hard hat, and pulling out a pick-axe from nowhere. “Ponyville needs my help!” And before anyone could ask what’s wrong, she jump off of the platform, and started to dig a hole through the ground.

Soul and the others just watched with their mouths wide-open, completely unable to understand what just happened, nor did they want to. “So...we’re all going to pretend that never happened?” Soul asked the rest of the group, who all dumbly nodded. “Great, now before something else happen, that make me want to stay, I say we take our leave.” He continued to say, walking in the transport.

Luna, Stormfly, and Sugar soon followed Soul on-board, all saying their words of good-byes. Celestia stopped Luna and looked into her eyes. “Good luck sister, I know that everything will turn out just right.” She said in a low whisper.

“Thank you Celestia, I’ll do my best.” Luna said with a warm smile on her face. The two shared a quick hug and Luna stepped inside of the transport. She took a seat next to Soul with Stormfly and Sugar sitting on the other side, facing them. “So, Soul still can’t get over sitting inside of the Quicquam can you?” She asked her student with a teasing tone.

“Nah, that’s never going to happen.” Soul said looking around the inside of the Quicquam, the walls lined with a sliver-cut metal, and engraving throughout. Soul turned his attention away from the interior to Luna sitting next to him. “So, any chance that you’re going to tell me where we’re going?” He asked still never getting an idea of the place.

“Yeah I was wondering that myself.” Sugar said cutting a glare to Stormfly, who tried to shake it off by whistling innocently.

The long pause and glare forced Stormfly to drop the façade. “What? Don’t mind me I’m...just practicing my whistling.” She said with a cheesy smile on her face.

Sugar rolled her eyes at her marefriend’s obvious lie. “Anyway, where are we going, princess?” She asked ignoring Stormfly’s fake whistling.

“Oh right, thanks to the hectic morning, I guess I didn’t tell neither Stormfly nor Soul where we’re going.” Luna said thinking to herself for a moment. “Yes well, we’ll be staying at the Moonlight resort on Crescent Island.” She informed the group, Sugar’s and Stormfly’s eyes lit up like a foal’s would on Hearts Warming Day.

“You mean the Moonlight resort?” Stormfly asked, her wings ruffing slightly in joy.

“The very same Moonlight resort, that’s on the White-Sand Beach?” Sugar asked, nearly hopping out of her seat.

“Umm...yes?” Luna tried to said but came out as a nervous question. The two mare squealed in joy bouncing up and down in their seat, the same way Pinkie Pie would when the Cakes would get a new shipment of frosting.

“Wait, what’s a beach?” Soul asked completely lost. Sugar and Stormfly stopped their joyous bouncing and looked at Soul with a blank faces. “What? I was born and raised in a grassland, so there are a few thing that I don’t know about, and beaches are one of them.” Soul said reminding the two mares where he was from.

“Umm...Soul...beaches are- er, what’s the word?” Stormfly asked thinking of the best way to descried the white sand dreamland to the dog. “Beaches are...humm.”

“Think of a landscape filled with sand near the ocean, or an opened body of water.” Luna filled in for the lost Stormfly, who just nodded in agreement.

“So you never been to a beach before?” Sugar asked still not able to wrap her head around the thought.

“Nah, never. Back in Savanna the closes thing we had to that, was the oasis that would come up during the raining seasons.” Soul said remembering the small scarce oasis that would be left for the constant rainfall.

“So, I’m guessing that you don’t know how to swim?” Stormfly asked.

Soul didn’t respond for a moment, a certain memory coming to mind involving a monsoon. As the dark storm clouds started to roll around Soul head, his expression turned to a more darker one, Luna placed her hand on his shoulder to shake him out of the daze. This seemed to work as Soul’s dark expression completely disappeared.

“Huh? What happened?” Soul asked looking at the expression of the mares he was traveling with.

“Soul, are you alright?” Luna asked worry and concern for her student and friend edged into her voice. “I haven’t seen that expression on you since you fought Spike a couple of months ago.”

“Huh, yeah I-I’m fine just some old memories.” Soul said not daring to look Luna in the eyes. “But, I’m good.” He falsely reassured, finding the floor to be very interesting subject.

“Soul.” Luna said in a stern and commanding voice, forcing Soul to look at her in the eyes. “Now, we’ve talked about this, if there’s something you want to talk about, then I’m hear to listen.” She said in a kinder and softer tone.

“Yeah, we’ve may have just met, but I can stand to see you fighting to hide your feelings.” Sugar added in. Stormfly nodded with a warm friendly smile.

Soul sighed, knowing that lying to the mares now was not an option. “Thanks you guys, that means a lot.” He said taking a deep breath to steady his nerves. “Okay, to start off yes, I do know how to swim.” Soul started off with answering Stormfly’s question. “The only thing is I learned it the roughly around the time of a monsoon come over the grasslands.” He explained.

There was a long pause before Soul continued, “It happened towards the end of the raining season. I can’t remember all of the details, but I do remember that there was a zebra shaman that foretold the storm.” He faintly recalled. “Man, its really hard to remember stuff when you were six years old.”

“So this shaman, he predicted the monsoon?” Sugar asked trying to have a good understanding. Soul nodded prompting Sugar to continue. “So why didn’t your leaders try and evacuate?”

Soul gritted his teeth just at the mere thought of his former pack leaders. “Cause, they were the most aggregate, self-centered, stubborn...” Soul said his voice growing more violent sounding, it got to the point to where he started to speak in his native tongue. “En as hy die helfte van 'n brein sou hy bekend het dat die sebra ws reg.” The Equestrians didn’t dare ask what Soul just got done saying, and just allow him to continue. “Anyway the Alpha, the head leader, didn’t think that there was a need to leave seeing as the pack lived on top of mountain that overlooked the grasslands.”

“So, what happened?” Stormfly asked breaking the pause. “I mean it sounds like everything was checked out.”

“And you’re right everything was checked out. To bad you can’t account for the unpredictable.” Soul said in a matter of fact tone. “Me and a few others thought it would be fun to do something the Alpha was afraid to do.” He said crossing his arms and closing his eyes.

“And that was?” Luna asked not wanting to go through another pause.

“To face the storm head on.” Soul said not opening his eyes. The mares looked at Soul with shocked looks on their faces, not saying anything because they did know just what to say. “Guh, I used to hunt with a certain group of diamond dogs, we were the best of friends.” He said a smile forming on his lips. “When the zebra came and predicted the storm, we all got together to see if we could prove that we could do things that the Alpha was too afraid to do.” Soul explained.

“But, why what did you all get from it?” Stormfly asked.

“In hopes that we’ll become the new leaders.” Soul said in a hollow voice.

“Soul, what happened?” Luna asked, having a feeling that there’s more to the story then Soul is leading on to be.

“It’s a pretty long story…” Soul said cutting a glance towards Luna.

“Well we have five hours, so start telling.” Luna said with a smirk on her face.

Knowing that arguing would only make the situation worse, Soul gave up on stalling the story any longer. “Fine, it started after the zebra came to the summit of my pack…”

Nineteen years ago, Savanna Grasslands; Diamond Edge mountain Soul’s PoV

So this is how it mostly happened, me and the dogs and hounds that I would hunt with were sitting in our usual spot in a cave. All of us were around the same ages, with one of the hounds being the youngest. By that point we’ve all heard about the zebra coming to the summit, and asking for shelter. And of course the Alpha didn’t allow him to say, but before leaving, he gave a warning about a monsoon arriving in three days time. And of course the Alpha didn’t listen or even cared.

After that the oldest one of us called a meeting to see if we could do something that the Alpha was too afraid to do. “So, you guys think we should do it?” He asked, I think his name was Simba, or something like that. Anyway Simba wanted to one day become the Alpha of his own pack, but to do that he need followers, hence why he would hang out with us.

“Are you crazy? You heard the Alpha, there’s not going to be a monsoon.” If I remember correctly it was, Verdite that said that. She always was the less advanced one of our group.

“Yeah-” You know what? His name was Simba, yeah that was it was, I knew I would get it eventually. Huh? Oh right back to the story. “-Simba, that’s a really bad idea. It’s the end of the raining season so why would Cerberus give us a monsoon?” Tova asked, at least I think it was Tova. Man, I’ve really forgotten a lot, huh? Anyway the three of them were the oldest so what they said went.

“Come on guys, what’s the matter? One zebra foretelling a storm, and you guys get all scared.” Simba argued, he could never take ‘no’ for an answer. “The zebra said in three days time right? So for three days we hang around in the lowlands.” He struggled moving around the cave in his same flamboyant way. Though, Verdite and Tova were unmoved by his new idea.

All the while me and the younger ones were in the other side of the cave, minding our own business, but we still listened carefully. “What is Simba talking about? It sounds like big sis and Tova don’t like it.” Verdite’s little sister, Pearl I think, asked. Me and the other pup shrugged our shoulders, causing her to scowl at us. “Come on, Rio! I know you know.” She said pointing to the other pup, besides me.

“How am I suppose to know? I thought we were just hanging out today, I didn’t know about any old zebra.” Rio said in a defensive way.

“liar.”

“I’m not a liar.”

While the two of them started to argue, I just walked over to the cave’s entrance, which overlooked most of the grasslands, expectedly the spots we would go hunting. Frankly back then, I thought that Simba had a good idea of challenging the Alpha, but there was something about Simba that just...was…off.

Yeah I know that don’t make much sense Stormfly, but that’s how I felt. Anyway as I was looking out on to the grasslands, I noticed that the winds were a lot stronger than they should have been. So out of curiosity I looked up to the skies, and far out in the horizon I could make out dark storm clouds. Now back then, I couldn’t tell the difference between a gray cloud and a real storm cloud, but something inside of me told me that those clouds were storm ones big enough to make a monsoon.

I quickly turned around to the others, who argued like marriage couples. I walked passed Rio and Pearl, who were fighting on the ground about something, or another. Verdite and Tova had their backs turned away from Simba, as he was still trying to get the two on his side. “Come on guys think about it. We could be at the top and everyone could be following us.” He said and I think the two of them actually thought about it for a second, but in quickly changed their minds.

“Hey, Simba?” I asked in that stupid high pitched voice that everyone have to go through.

“One sec, Soul.” He waved me off just like any other would. “Now you to when I’ve made this small pack of ours, we’ve agreed to do anything that would help us become the Alphas.” Simba said crossing his arms.

“Yeah we did, and it didn’t involve us risking our lives.” Verdite said glaring at Simba.

“Yeah!” Tova added in, Simba threw his hands up in the air in frustration.

“And it’s like we’ve just got done saying Simba, there’s not going to be a monsoon, and if there was going to be one then there’s no way that you're going to get the clubs involved in it.” Verdite finished and then she pointed at Rio and Pearl, who I think, were still fighting in the other side of the cave. When the rest of us caught onto what Verdite was pointing to, Tova growled, and went over to Rio and Pearl.

All I did was just sigh, I knew that it would mostly piss Verdite and Tova off, but Simba wasn’t the only one that wanted to be the Alpha. “But there is a storm coming.” I said grabbing everyone’s attention.

“Pup, what are you talking about?” Verdite asked me, we’d locked eyes for a second and there was something behind her eyes that told me to be careful of what I was going to say next.

“There a storm coming, I’m not sure if it’s that monsoon thing you guys are talking about, but there’s something behind those storm clouds that is a little eerie.” I explained preparing for the scolding of a lifetime by Verdite, lucky Simba came to my rescue.

“How do you know?” He asked me. I turned away from the group of older diamond dogs and walked over to the entrance of the cave. When I’ve got to it, I pointed out to the horizon, the others walked over and looked where I was pointing to.

“See? Out in the horizon, those are storm clouds and they’re heading this way.” I said, my eyes fixed on the horizon and the dark clouds that followed.

“How do you know the winds is blowing this way?” Either Rio or Peal asked, I was going to answer when a strong gust of wind blasted into the cave knocking the two down. Just then thunder and lightning crashed about the horizon, we all stood there in that spot all of us having our own thoughts. Of cause I can’t tell you the others thoughts, but my where on the storm itself. I don’t know the right way to describe it, but it felt like...I’ve seen it before. The odd thing about that is, I’ve never been through a monsoon before.

“So, what you guys say?” Simba asked again. Me and the rest of our group looked at him. “This maybe are only chance to change everything.” He said walking in front of the entrance waving his hands around in his usual way. “Today we change everything!”

Present day

“Wow...I have no idea what to say.” Luna said sitting back against the leather of the seat. “Did Simba really think that it would prove anything?”

“I don’t know really.” Soul said flatly. “Looking back, I should’ve known that he was bad news, but I didn’t want to face reality.”

“Well, what happened next? Did you guys go out into the storm?” Stormfly asked impatiently like a little filly waiting for the new Daring Doo book.

“Storm, clam down.” Sugar said in a commanding voice, that got her mare to settle down. “Okay, so Soul what did happened next?”

“Right, well for the most part Verdite and Tova were still against on doing it, but they decided to go anyway to make sure that Simba didn’t do anything to get himself killed…”

Savanna Grasslands; The lowlands two days into the storm

Anyway two days have passed and I was right about there being a storm. At first it was just some rain, something we’ve all have seen before, but the rain didn’t stop. No it just kept going and going, and before we knew it the path back to the mountain’s summit was blocked off by a torrent of water. Lucky we’d found a hillside cave to take refuge in until the storm passed.

Verdite and Tova wouldn’t talk to Simba for the whole time we were in the lowlands, my guess is that they were more than pissed. For me what didn’t added up was the fact that the storm came earlier than the zebra said it would, and that meant we were going to be stuck in that cave for five days in that cave. On the second day the monsoon started to hit really hard, winds tearing trees right out of the root, large lakes were formed just from the rainfall.

“This is all your fault Simba!” I remembered Verdite shouting at Simba, Tova was in the corner asleep with Rio and Pearl, I myself was sitting in front of the cave watching the storm. As I was listening to the rainfall, wind, and the thunder and lightning tearing through the skies a wave of unexplainable familiarity washed over me.

“Verdite don’t you want to be able to take care of Pearl?” I heard him asked Verdite, but I didn’t...couldn’t tear myself away from the storm. “We’ve have the chance of a lifetime here.” He continued, there was thing about his voice that I didn’t like. They must have heard one of the younger clubs must have made some noise, cause the two of them started to whisper.

“Of course I want to take care of Pearl, but not like this.” I faintly heard Verdite say. I was going to finally turn around when a streak of lightning caught my eyes first. All of my attention went back to the storm and the bright lights dancing around the darkened skies. “Simba, we’re stuck in a cave for Cerberus knows how long, and you still just thinking about becoming Alpha?” Verdite continued to argued with Simba.

“Yes.” This time I have to admit, Simba’s voice didn’t sound like it was his. It sound hollow and completely foreign to him. “I do, this is what we’ve been dreaming about, this is our chance to reach our goals.” The more he talked the more I started to hate him.

"You’re insane…” Verdite faintly said, I could tell by her voice that she was not only pissed, but she was disgusted by Simba’s lust for power, and so was I. “I can’t believe you! All this time...all of the time we’ve spent together you just been looking for a way to become Alpha!” Verdite shouted at Simba, and from the way her voice was cracking that she was crying. “You’re a monster!” That I agreed with, there was a loud slapping sound that seemed to cut through the periodic thunder. Verdite ran out of the cave and into the storm, and I remembered feeling her tears landing on my face.

Seeing Verdite crying was more than enough for me to cut a murderous gaze towards Simba. I would be lying if I said that I didn’t want to stump on his neck, but I had bigger things to worry about. Without a second thought I ran out of the cave, to go looking for Verdite. Upon leaving the cave, my fur coat was already gaining weight from the rain water. The winds were strong enough to knock me off of my feet. “Verdite! Verdite!” I shouted for the her, I had hoped that if she could hear me that she would respond. It would have been easier to find her if the rain didn’t make it blurry.

I climbed to the top of a boulder, figuring that I would have a better chance to see Verdite. “VERDITE!!” I roared on the top of my lungs, through the drowning grasslands I spotted her sitting on top of a hill that made itself an island in the middle of the massive lake. I ran over to edge of the lake, shouting her name to see if I could get her attention, but she couldn’t hear me. I quickly looked around to see if there was anyway across, but nope. When I looked back up to Verdite I saw her slowly walking towards the edge of the hill, There was no way for me to tell what she was thinking. My answer soon came as she jumped in the raging lake, and just floated there, not even trying to fight against it. I couldn’t believe my eyes, right there in front of me one of my friends were trying to kill herself, and there was nothing I could do. So I did the one thing that I could do:

I jumped in.

Man, let me tell you something, trying to save someone from drowning in a raging torrent of water. During a monsoon? Damn near impossible. Every time I got a look at Verdite, another wave would throw me around like a ragdoll. I myself nearly drowned like...four, five, maybe six times before I managed to reach Verdite. I wrapped my arms around her, and started to kick against the flow on the water. “No! Let me go!” This would have been easier if Verdite would’ve stop trying to push me away.

She seemed so content with just drowning in the water that it made me sad, but I was there to save her, and most importantly she and the others were the closest thing I could call friends. But I was young, Verdite didn’t want to live any more, and thanks to the constant beating I got from the water, I was out of strength.

It started to feel like the water wanted to swallow us, and it was pulling us down. I started to give up too. When I’ve started to black out, and darkness crawled my venison, I heard a faint and distant voice. “You must live, break the cycle.” It said, I opened my eyes, and I could promised that I was looking into the eyes of Cerberus himself. Suddenly a strong feeling overtook me, it felt like something was growing inside of me.

The next thing I know, the water started to be pushed away from me and Verdite. All outside feeling where thrown out of the window. The only thing on my mind was getting Verdite out of harms way. Once we were on higher ground, my body felt heavy and worn out.

I immediately hit the ground and blacked out.

The next thing I know is waking up in the Alpha’s private cave, I got up out of the bed I was laid on, and walked outside. I saw that everyone of my friends were waiting out there for me. I didn’t have any time to react before Pearl ran over to me and wrapped her arms around me. The others soon got up and walked over to me as well, all of them asking how I felt. I tried to tell them I was fine, but my throat hurt like hell, so I just nodded in response. I looked around to see that Simba was nowhere to be found.

And apparently the Alpha noticed my curiosity on Simba’s where about. “If you’re looking for Simba, pup, then you’ll find that he’s not here.” He said in that cold and commanding voice that he had as Alpha.

“He didn’t come back with us after you left to go save Verdite.” Tova said filling me in on the situation. “By the time we’ve find you two Verdite was shaking.” I looked over to Verdite, but she refused to look me in the eyes.

She was going to say something but the Alpha cut her off. “Pup, what you did was a brave thing, I just know that you’ll make a great descent.” I looked at him with a confused expression. Back then I just thought that I was just your everyday diamond dog, but no. Apparently I was so much more than a simple diamond dog.

That was the day I learned the truth of what I was, the descent of Cerberus himself; a Hellhound.

Present day

“And that’s when I learned I could use magic.” Soul said finishing the story. “Oh and I soon went back to the lowlands, which was still flooded to teach myself how to really swim.” He added.

“Wow, sounds like this Simba guy was a real jerk.” Stormfly said with a look of disgust on her face.

“Oh yeah, he was. But a few short years later me and the others found him, and we’d a little talk.” Soul said with a wicked smile growing on his face. He let out a big yawn, and cracked some of his bones. “So how much time did that kill anyway?”

“Umm...I say about an hour.” Luna guessed.

“Great, I’m going to sleep.” Soul said turning his head towards the window and quickly going to sleep. The other shrugged their shoulders thinking that they might as well get a nap in. Stormfly and Sugar cuddled up together in each other’s embraces, while Luna turned her head away from Soul’s.

After everyone was softly soaring, a unicorn mare walked from the pilot’s area of the transport. Her crystal blue eyes fell on Soul and Luna, completely disregarding the other two passengers. She quietly laughed to herself when Luna started to mumble in her sleep, she could make out the words, ‘star’ and ‘donuts’. Her eyes soon fell on Soul, who was drooling against the window, and fog could be seen from his hot breath. The mare nearly broke out laughing at the sight, but she was able to keep face, mostly.

A mischievous smirk stretched across her face, her horn came to life with a soft purple and midnight-blue glow. Luna’s and Soul’s heads started to slowly started to move closer to each other. The unicorn mare stop her magic when the two’s heads met in the middle, they quickly settled into the new position, and both of them had warm smiles on their faces.

Satisfied with her work, the pilot mare turned around, and walked back to the cockpit. She pushed the door opened and walked back to her seat next to the co-pilot. The dark-blue stallion cracked open an eye to look at the mare. “Okay, what’s with the smile?” He asked never seeing his partner smile.

“Humm? Oh nothing.” The mare said adjusting her pilot’s hat, to where the stallion couldn’t see her eyes.

“Oh no, it’s something.” The stallion said sitting up in his seat. “And I know what you're up to.” He said in a vague and suspicious tone.

The mare started to sink in her seat from the stallion’s accusing tone of voice. “I have no idea what you're talking about.” She said with sly grin on her face. Okay stay calm, stay calm, he probably haven’t figured out. She reassured herself, but she still readied a sleep spell if the need arises.

“Yes you do, and it’s not going to work.” The stallion said in an ever growing suspicious tone. The mare started to get nervous, but she was able to restrain herself. “I told you Comet, that you can’t surprise me.” He said in a smart-alec tone, causing the mare to do a double-take.

“Say, what?”

“Oh, don’t go and act like that you don’t know it’s my birthday.” The stallion said crossing his arms. “So go ahead and get it over with.”

Heh, I can’t believe I almost… “Okay, you’ve caught me.” The mare said with an innocent tone, the stallion nodded with a knowing look on his face. “Close your eyes and count to three.” The stallion chuckled and did what he was told. The mare charged up the sleep spell and smirked to herself.

“One…” Her horn sparked to life with the same glow as before.

“Two…” The horn started to glow brighter, and a small swirl of magic formed around it.

“Three…” The stallion opened his eyes expecting to find the mare that he thought was Comet to have a present out and ready for him, but instead he was faced with the mare’s fully charged horn. “Happy birthday.” Before the stallion could say anything, the mare fired the sleep spell, knocking him out before he even could fall back into his seat.

The stallion’s loud snoring told the mare that he was completely out of it. “Well that was closer then I would like it to be.” She said to herself, then paused for a moment to think about her next move carefully. “I guess I’m going to have to move quick for this to work.” She fingered, walking out of the cockpit. She made sure not to make any sounds when she walked passed Soul and the others.

The mare reached the end of the aisle and opened a door that lead to the back of the transport. An audible buzzing sound could be heard in the room, and the mare knew just what, or who, was making the sound. She walked behind a wooden storage crate, smiling at the sight.

Behind the crate was a mare with azure-blue fur, and silver-black mane. The mare had a drunken smile on her face, the answer could be found from the buzzing sound coming from the mare. The mare had one hand on her plus sized breast and the other one had three fingers inside of her marehood. “So Comet, I see that you’re enjoying yourself.” The other mare said standing over the other one. Comet couldn’t respond, not just cause of the nonstop pleasure, but also cause of the ball gag in her mouth.

The first unicorn mare dropped her disguise, relieving herself to be Nightmare Moon. “My, my, my. You’ve certainly made a mess back here.” She said in a teasing manner. Comet looked at Nightmare with a pleading eyes. Nightmare took the hint and snapped her fingers, removing the ball gag. She then slowly remove the vibrator from Comet’s leaking marehood, causing her to reach another peak.

Comet’s juices flew in the air, covering much of her already soaked legs, and the rest just leaked out on to the ground, collecting with the large puddle below. “Night...you are...THE definition of evil…” Comet said with a heavy breath.

Nightmare chuckled at Comet. “Oh come on I’ve put you through worst.” She said in an innocent tone. “Now get up, we’ve have work to do.” She continued to say with a sly smile growing on her face.

Comet slowly sat up, using a crate as support. “What do you mean?” She asked standing up on shaky feet. “There must be another hour or so before we land.” She guessed.

“Yes but I’ve need to get ready now, so get ready.” Nightmare said lighting her horn, reading a memory spell.

“Wait Night, let me cat-” Comet’s pleas were cut short, as all of Nightmare’s memories, from when they switched places, hit her in a fast wave of...feelings. Comet had to grab hold of the crate again for better support. When the rush ended, Comet shook her head trying to regain her scents again. “Guh, did you have to do that?” She said, lighting her own horn so that she could go through the memories. “You knocked out Helm? On his birthday?!”

“He was annoying so, I didn’t have any other option.” Nightmare said in a frank tone. “Now enough talking, we’ve have work to get done.”

“Yeah, yeah I know.” Comet said. The two quickly got to work on the next steps of the plan. While Soul and the other blissfully sleep away, they were completely unaware of Nightmare’s plan.
