The Refugees

Now that he was reunited with his loves, one alive and well. The other in an unknown condition, but obviously in dire trouble even if her spark hadn't faded yet. Based on Jifar's descriptions, they backtracked towards the nursing cave. Warriors rose to stop them, and they all fell before the fury of Big Macintosh, the miners, and the occasional hoof-to-the-head from Jifar. While many of them would recover from their wounds in time, it was not because of any charitable impulse on their part. They just weren't warriors trained to use their weapons and tools to the most lethal effect.

"Applejack!" he called ahead, "Big brother's comin ta save ya!"

Jifar looked down on the limp form of her goddess. She had unbound Twilight earlier even if it was only to preserve some measure of her dignity in the eyes of Big Macintosh as well as herself. Tears still fell from her eyes as if a path right from her broken heart. She clutched her body to her bosom like a slumbering filly, and once she had closed Twilight's eyes, she did appear to be peacefully sleeping.

The last warrior's body was hurled into the room after he had buried one of his swords into the dog's neck. He wouldn't be getting up ever again. Striding into the sandy room after them, he was horrified as he looked at all of the bound and helpless females in the room, both mares and bitches. He saw the wide-eyed stare from Applejack as she screamed against her bound mouth, and he rushed over to her side. He bit the sword in his mouth so both hands were free. As he got closer, something seemed... wrong. He picked her up by the shoulders as it hit him like a brick in the side of his head. Applejack had FOUR pairs of tits, and they were ALL larger than the pair he remembered her having. Her eyes overflowed with tears as she looked into his eyes.

He put her back down, took the blade, and began cutting away all of the ropes binding her. The other miners were using their claws and picks to free Opa, Zecora, and all of the bound nursing bitches. Once she was loose, he picked her up by the shoulders and looked her over again. It seemed that the extra breasts were the only changes he could see.

"I'm so sorry, big brother!" she cried.

"NO!" he said back forcefully, "Yer safe an that's ALL that matters ta me!"

"But... I'M A FREAK!"

He threatened to squeeze the air out of her as he hugged her saying, "Yer my LITTLE SISTER!"

She found that she couldn't stop crying on his shoulder. He didn't even seem to notice how her milk was leaking all over his chest and stomach.

"Thank you, big brother," she cried.

"I betcha you'll be the center of every Apple Family Reunion from here on out," he whispered into her ear.

His off the cuff comment stopped her weeping and changed it to laughing in spite of herself.

Some of the miners and nursing bitches group together as if they knew each other well. They all cried as they hugged, and he could almost hear whispered comments about how their bitch loves had grown in their eight teats.

"This AIN'T RIGHT!" called Big Mac as he drew all of their attentions, "treatin yer... stallions like mine slaves... an treating your bitches like property... If'n ya want ta leave here, I promise you'll be protected! I swear not one of you is gonna be raped or beaten while I'm around here!" His glare around the room challenged disagreement, but the cheers showed that they felt pretty much the same as him.

"But y'all have been fightin and runnin fer a while now, and ah'm sure these here bitches have been tied up like this few quite some time. This cave is defensible, so block the entrance with anything y'all can find. We'll rest up here for a few hours afore we make the final push for the exit. Everyone rest up as much as ya can, because this might be the last rest ya git for quite some time. The stallions and I will take turns making sure they don't break in here."

He looked at Jifar, her approving smile, and her admiring eyes, and it seemed they were back in love. She apparently liked the take charge kind of stallion.

It soon became apparent that while there was water aplenty, there was no food around. So they all used the most available source of food they had: Mother's milk. It was a little awkward nursing from a bitch while a few of the miners and other bitches were nursing from Applejack's breasts. She had another orgasm while being suckled, although she did her best to keep quiet about the whole thing. The piles of nursers and the nursed did feel a bit like an orgy.

But the most awkward moment for her was when Big Mac rolled her onto her back in the sand, and both him and Jifar took their turns nursing from Applejack as she blushed horribly. When she was done, Jifar shoved her huge nipple in Applejack's face until she took her turn to drink. Her nipple seemed so firm and hot as the milk spurted freely into her mouth. The giraffe's own pants and shivers showed that the suckling had effects on her as well.

Applejack closed her eyes. She had a flashback to when she was a filly in her mother's arms, and how she held onto her mother's breast so tightly as she nursed from her motherly breast.

After they all fed, the miners and bitches curled up to sleep in the sand. She found herself on Jifar's stomach with her head between her huge tracts of land with her own eight tits facing down on Jifar's chest and stomach. The giraffe's arms held her tight, so warm and safe, as Big Macintosh lay beside them both and held them tight in both of his arms. Twilight was laid on Jifar's other side as if somehow their love and warmth would keep her safe as well. She felt safe as she watched three of the miners guarding the barricaded entrance as she drifted off to sleep at least for a while. Zecora smiled at her as she lay entwined with her love Opa. A couple of bitches came by to lay around them all as they licked their faces in a show of gratitude.

Celestia and Luna personally led the attack against the mine entrance, dazzling friends and foes alike as powerful magic blasts shot from their horns at any enemy they could see. While there was no expectation of actually breaking the defenses, they had to make it look like they were trying their best to do so. A few foolish ones rushed the Princesses, hoping to take down the huge breasted maidens and use them to make the others surrender. If they weren't shot full of arrows first, a magical blast or two made sure the mistake would NEVER be repeated.

A blue haired Pegasus stallion with a orange hide approached Celestia as he said, "Princess! I think we can break through right now if we push just a little harder!"

"No, Flash Sentry!" said the Princess as she walked ahead, "The plan is to keep the dog forces occupied here while the others perform the rescue operation! Nothing more! They must believe that they are holding us back!"

"EVERYPONY FALL BACK!!" called out Luna, "We must appear to retreat and regroup!!"

"As the Princesses command!"

The attack force fell back, but the mine's defenders choose to not pursue as Celestia figured. They were more interested in maintaining the integrity of the mine than scoring points.

"If they think we have a stalemate, they may send somepony out to negotiate. They have food and water, but so do we. But our presence here is stopping them from exporting their mined goods, or having any special goods shipped in. It's bound to hurt their bottom line soon enough, and they'll think they can force a peace with us if we keeping kicking them in the gold purse."

"Won't they know that?" asked Luna.

"If they think we're here to rescue Twilight and the others, or we're seeking vengeance for Twilight, I doubt that they would look at the situation like that."

She glanced at the mine entrance.

"I hope the others are doing well. The only way we'll know is if they sneak back out, or they are captured with the others, and they try to use all of them as leverage against us."

"What would we do then?" asked Luna.

"I... don't know yet." She looked at the strange clouds swirling overhead and cussed.

"What is it?" asked Luna.

"They've brought in magic support," said Celestia, "Those clouds are not normal. We may have to stop using our magic to attack and start using it to protect ourselves from whatever they're planning to rain down on us."

"Then we shall do just that, big sister!" said Luna, "We shall not fail our friends and troops!"
