Who Were They?

Luna sat by the fire in deep thought. Her unwanted bovine traveling companion talked endlessly about how she is now an Element of Harmony, but the princess payed no attention. She was too focused on how everything went wrong, especially why Twilight would betray the expectations her sister set for her. "I am sorry Celestia, I should've watched over Twilight better, protected her from Sombra's influence..."

"So what's the plan?" eagerly asked Arizona, who was eager to fight, proud of the element around her neck.

"Send you home." said Luna. "It's too dangerous for a calf like you."

"Dangerous?!" said the calf, offended. "I may only be a year old, but I am the toughest calf in my herd!" she explained. "I defeated my father in a duel once!"

"I am sorry my little calf, but this crisis is much bigger than you, I don't understand why the element chose you because I can't see any worth from you apart from over confidence and blu-" before she could complete the sentence, she was suddenly sent into the air by a large shock wave. She landed with a thud back on the ground. "Ooof!" Luna looked up to see a fault line on the ground that emanated from underneath Arizona. She starred down at the princess with an overconfident smirk.

"Do you see any worth from me now?" she asked the princess.

Luna just sighed. "Better than nothing..." she mumbled to herself before she walked off.

"So what's the plan?" asked Arizona, who was ready to fight and be a hero for once.

"First, we find the rest of the Elements of Harmony." Luna explained before a disturbing thought entered her mind. "And I have a feeling that there is only one being in all of Equestria that knows where they are..." she said ominously.

"Great!" the calf said pumped for the adventure. "Who is this wise being we are going to see?"

"...Chrysalis." said Luna.

At Ponyville, many of the town's residents gathered at Town Hall for an emergency meeting. The entire audience was unsure about what is going on, most confessing gloom and doom, especially Lily. The mayor loudly banged the gavel to quiet the crowd. "Quiet, Quiet! I know we are all afraid from having caribou enter our town, but we have ponies here who know what is going on, so please hear them out before you all start running around in panic." the mayor announced before she turned over the podium to Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Velvet.

"As you may have heard," began Dash. "we are indeed being invaded by the caribou." she explained, only to be met by worried whispers within the crowd. "but this does not mean that we're doomed, we can still defeat them and stop them!"

"How?" asked a skeptical Carrot Top. "I heard they had psychic powers and have advanced weapons."

"Yes, but we have something that they don't have."

"And what is that?"

"The magic of friendship!" Dash boasted with confidence.

The entire audience erupted in laughter. "You think friendship is going to defeat them?" laughed Carrot Top.

"Well, do you have any other bright ideas?" snarled Dash.

"I for one welcome our new caribou overlords!" chimed in Lyra as she began to file down her horn, only for Bon Bon to swipe the file away.

Suddenly, the door of the meeting hall burst open and a cloaked Zecora walked in pulling a wagon filled with large burlap sacks. "Please do not panic my fellow ponies, I am a master of ceremonies, when it comes to finding ways to defeat, those caribou with visions obsolete."

"And how do we do that?" asked a skeptical Carrot Top.

Zecora grabbed a bag and threw it to the group, causing the bag to burst open to reveal that it was filled with poison joke. "By using Ponyville's secret weapon, a place that is dangerous to step in, the Everyfree forest where things run wild, a place that is so feared and so reviled." she explained.

"Zecora may be on to something." commented Rarity in deep thought. Dash and Applejack were on the same wavelength with her.

"If they're gonna take this town, they'll have to fight for it." added Applejack. "We will not let these no good varmints take Ponyville easily without putting up a good fight!" she said with determination. She looked over to her younger sister, older brother and Granny Smith.

"Yeah!" agreed Rainbow Dash. "This is our town, and we will defend it to keep it that way!"

"You can't be serious!?" asked Carrot Top in disbelief.

"Got any better ideas that does not involve surrendering?" bluntly stated Applejack.

The orange maned mare looked around to see everyone in the room starring at her with mean looks, this angered her more. "Okay fine, go and risk your lives and freedom for this town, because while you do so, I'll be halfway to Griffinstone by then." she got up and left the room in disgust.

"Come on y'all!" cheered a determined Applejack. "Let's protect our town!"

"YEAH!" the audience cheered back. Everyone quickly scrambled out of the hall since they only have until the morning before the caribou arrive. Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash hopped that the gamble would work out, they refuse to think about what would happen should they fail. They must not fail.

In a flash of blue light, Luna and Arizona appeared inside the changeling hive of Chrysalis herself. It was extremely dark, the only thing that can be seen are the glowing eyes of the creatures themselves. It sent shivers down both their spines but they trotted along to the queen herself regardless.

"Why Luna, I wasn't expecting you so soon." hissed the hive queen herself. "What brings you to my hive?" she lounged on her spot in the center of the hive, like a spoiled monarch.

"I know you have changeling spies in almost every nation on this planet, so I thought you could help me with something of grave importance." stated Luna in a no nonsense manner.

"And that is...?" she asked.

"Find the Elements of Harmony." answered Luna in a serious tone.

Chrysalis then turned her eyes over to the calf, to see an element around her neck. The queen added everything up in her mind and gave a large smirk. "So we have new element bearers I see." she chuckled. "What happened to the old ones?" she evilly smirked. Luna just glared at the changeling queen. The queen rolled her eyes. "Ugh, fine, I'll tell you where they are...but under a few conditions."

"And those are?" the lunar princess asked with suspicion.

"First, I demand a non-stop shipment of love...preferably a monthly tribute." she chuckled. "Preferably male, but you can throw in an occasional female to keep me interested."

"Anything else?" butted in an impatient Luna.

"Oh...yes..." she hissed. "I also demand foal support payments." she said with a smirk.

"Why would YOU need foal support payments?" asked Luna suspiciously.

Chrysalis just cackled loudly, the changelings around them could be heard gleefully hissing in the darkness. The queen suddenly clapped her hooves and the entire hive was illuminated in light. "THIS is why." she pointed to all the changeling around her.

Luna and Arizona looked around to see all of the changelings, only to see that they are all...different. Instead of a pitch black exoskeleton, they all had dark gray coats and instead of being bald, these changelings all have turquoise manes, but everything else about them was typical changeling. "What kind of changelings are these?" she asked as these new drones circled above them, all of them giggled like foals.

"My beautiful hybrid freaks." Chrysalis announced with pride. "Courtesy of my love generating deadbeat father of a toy Shining Armor." she gloated before she laughed manically. Luna and her calf companion looked on in complete shock.

Dainn happily powered some mead for himself and the mare he is entertaining for the night. He might as well try to make the mood romantic since it was extremely rare for a female to gladly have sex with him.

"So when are we going to fuck?" asked the mare who lounged provocatively on Dainn's bed. The yellow coated pegasus mare playfully pouted.

"Don't worry, we'll get to that my little one, I need to set the mood first." he smiled as he gave the mare the cup of mead. "Drink up my little one."

"Thank you." she gladly took the cup and chugged down within a matter of seconds. "Mmmm, yummy." she giggled.

"Now before we get to the fucking, I need to do some psychic clean-up." he caribou explained. "I need to replace Hugh's psychic influence with mine, it won't feel right knowing that someone else did all the work in turning you into a slut, so I must rectify that."

The mare smiled. "Okay, just make it quick, I need it badly." she cooed.

Dainn just gave a small chuckle before he pressed his forehead up against the mares. He closed his eyes and concentrated. At first everything went smoothly, he mentally cut the tendrils that were enveloping her mind but once he finished, he felt something strange. He felt something pure and innocent, he started to feel everything brighten and warm up. "What is this? Is this what innocence feels like?" he thought to himself with confusion. "NO!" he quickly broke the mental link and pushed the mare away, he quickly cowered in fear in one corner of his tent. "What are you?!" he asked.

Fluttershy got up from the bed and shook her head with confusion. "Huh?" she looked around her. "Where am I?" her voice stuttered with apprehension. She then saw the great caribou leader cowering at a corner. "Caribou!" she gasped with fear before she dove under the covers of the bed. "Please don't hurt me, I would do anything you ask, just don't hurt me, my friends or my animals." she shivered.

"So...much...innocence...never seen so much..." he muttered in his catatonic state. The mare heard that and peaked out from the bed with curiosity. She saw the caribou shivering in the corner. She tilted her head with curiosity before she got off the bed and cautiously walked up to him. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" he snapped as he grabbed his pistol, he had trouble aiming considering that his right foreleg was shivering. "DON'T GET ANY CLOSER!"

"I...I...just wanted to see if you are okay mister..." she responded with genuine concern. "...but I guess if you want...I'll just leave..."

Nervous sweat dripped down Dainn's face. "Why is your heart so pure...it's not possible...especially from a grown mare...should've been corrupted..." he stammered, his mind tried its best to comprehend what he felt.

Fluttershy looked on. "Well...I wouldn't say I am that innocent...I have done some...things...with stallions...yeah..." she never felt comfortable bringing up the topic of her sexuality which explained why her face was beet red from the blushing. "...but I never let that change my worldview..." she tried her best to explain how she remained pure and innocent despite her sexual history, but it is something that cannot be explained.

He gulped. "Normally such a thing would make me hard...but yours...I just can't...I don't have the heart to soil such a...dare I say...beautiful thing? Is that a good word to describe it? I don't know anymore..." he grew more nervous and confused by the second. He dropped his pistol to the floor, he gave up bothering to aim. "I haven't seen such a thing since..." his eyes grew large as the realization dawned on him. "...mother..."

"Your mother?"

He could still remember her screams from when she was beaten to the death by his father for interrupting his beating. The day Dainn told his father he wanted to be a priest to possibly become one of the great rune masters. But his father was adamant of him following his footsteps in becoming a customs officer, an occupation that eight previous generations of his family took part in. His father has beaten him plenty of times before, but on that day, he went extremely hard, to the point that his mother made the fatal mistake of getting in the way, an act that enraged his father even more. "Please stop dad...you're hurting her..." he mumbled.

"Hurting who?" asked Fluttershy with confusion, only to be met by a swift slap to the face. "Oof."

Dainn got up from his corner with a face of determination. "No...I must not show weakness...a real bull never shows weakness or emotion..." he said to himself as he pulled Fluttershy by the tail and threw her to the bed. "A real bull gets what he wants!"

The mare tried to get away but was quickly pined down to the bed. She struggled to break free. "Please," she begged. "you don't have to do this...it doesn't have to be this way...it can be fixed..." she pleaded.

"It's too late for that." he said before his antlers started glow. Soon, the pegasus stopped her struggle and her eyes turned dull. "That's right my little one, you are mine to do with as I please." he grinned. He was suddenly pulled down by the mare as she roughly kissed him.

"Mmmm, I want it!" she hissed into his ear.

"With pleasure." he quickly nibbled her neck in response. The mare shivered and moaned in pleasure. His own member unsheathed itself to make eagerness known. But before he could thrust into her awaiting cunt, the screams of his mother began to echo in his mind. "NO!" he screamed again. He got off the bed and sat on the floor as he held his head. "I CAN'T DO THIS, TOO MUCH!" he yelled.

The mare looked on with confusion. Dainn looked up at the mare, the mare who reminded him too much of his dead mother. "Master?" was all she said in a childlike manner.

Dainn's antlers glowed once more to undo what he did to the mare, returning her back to her old self. She shook her head in confusion. "Just go and leave me alone..." he said dejectedly as he sat on the floor.

Fluttershy looked on with pity. "You loved your mother dearly didn't you?" was all she asked.

"She was the only one in my life to show me genuine kindness...so much like you..." he dared not to make eye contact.

Fluttershy placed her hoof under his chin so she can look into his eyes with sincerity. "Look..." she began. "it's never too late to fix things, I bet your mother is imploring you to just give up this invasion and repent for all the bad things you have done." she assured. "Just ask for forgiveness...apologize for all the wrongs you have caused."

The leader looked up with a look of uncertainty, but suddenly, a smirk spread across his face. "You may have as much kindness as my mother...but there's one thing that sets you two apart." he smirked.

"What's that?" asked the mare. She was suddenly grabbed by the mane and forced upon Dainn's face, his eyes were now full of hate.

"She was never a naive bitch like you." he hissed before she slapped the mare to the floor, a black eye suddenly formed around her left eye. He went over to his desk and grabbed some rope, he pinned the pegasus to the floor and proceeded to tie up her wings. She never struggled, she just cried loudly from the slap and her fate. "SHUT UP YOU BITCH!" Dainn yelled as he swiftly kicked the mare hard in the stomach. The caribou grabbed a blue collar from his desk and forced it around the mare's neck.

"You don't have to do this..." she pleaded through her tears. Some blood dripped out of the corner of her mouth. "...never to late..."

"It's too late for me." he said with annoyance. "Especially since I am so close to my goal." he kicked her again while she was still on the floor, to afraid to get up. The mare just grunted in pain as she spat out some blood. Dainn suddenly tied a chain to the collar and tied the other end to the bed. "Since you like animals so much, I think this will be appropriate." he smirked as his horns started to glow again. Fluttershy soon stopped crying and also stopped struggling after a short while, she started whimpering for another reason.

"Need...to...breed..." she hissed with desperation as she started to rub herself in a pathetic attempt to ease her powerful primal urges. "I smell...male...smells so good." she moaned as she rubbed her dripping opening. "Breed me please...you smell so good!" she begged as she slowly crawled over to the male, still rubbing herself. "I want your seed...inside me...make lots of babies...please impregnate me!" she begged as she rubbed her face against Dainn's foreleg. The male just chuckled, impressed by his work.

"Get on the bed and present yourself." he ordered. The mare did as told, she climbed on to the bed and got into position, she moved her tail out of the way to expose her dripping and hungry marehood. Dainn saw her excitement slowly drip down on to the bed, her scent reminded him of a babbling brook in a vast forest. Her dark yellow lips inviting him inside.

"Please...I want it!" she begged and whined. Her loins burned in desperation.

"As you wish." Dainn smirked, licking his lips. Without hesitation he dove in and stuck his snout into her opening. His tongue happily sampling the sweet nectar that the element of kindness produced. It tasted like has was drinking the most cleanest and refreshing river water on the planet. His forehooves grasped her rump tightly as he continued running his tongue along her sweet hole. It drove him wild.

"Oh...that's my good..m-master." she muttered between gasps. "Oh sweet Celestia your tongue feels amazing!" she yelled out the moment his tongue flicked at her clit. "PLEASE STOP FUCK ME ALREADY!" she screamed as she grind her rump against the caribou's face. "Fuck me and make me pregnant! I want it!" she gasped with desperation.

Dainn responded with a slap to her rump, eliciting a guttural moan from the pegasus mare. He was already fully erect and ready to finally have his way with one of the elements of harmony. "As you wish my pet." he said with smug satisfaction. He carefully and methodically lined his girth against her opening and holding on to her rump, then, throwing caution to the wind, he thrusted inside her. Fluttershy could not help but give out a feral whinny from the sheer pleasure she received and from the thought of finally being bred. His thrusts went faster and deeper with each second.

"AHHH!" she screamed followed by a serious of heavy moans with filthy and colorful language. She felt him slam inside her, almost to the hilt, each one felt like pure bliss to her as her mind was now only focused receiving the best orgasm of her life.

"Oh fuck you are amazing." he grunted through gritted teeth as he felt her inner muscles tighten around his member. "Your friends will have a hard act to follow..." he panted as sweat flowed down his brow. He can sense her orgasm coming, as well as his own.

"None of my friends are better at fucking than me!" she said with determination. "They're prudes compared to me!" she boasted, but she felt the wave that is her orgasm arriving. "OH FUCK...CAN'T HOLD ON..." she shrieked before a deafening whinny echoed within the tent. Her inner walls clamped down hard on his dick, trapping him in place and finally sending him over the edge. "MAKE ME PREGNANT MASTER DAINN!"

Right on cue, Dainn sprayed his seed inside her as she wanted. Her inner muscles refusing to let his cock go, milking him for what it is worth, she moaned from the feeling of his sperm inside her. Her grip soon lessened enough for Dainn to finally withdraw his member from her. "Good girl..." he panted while he proceeded to pet her on the head like a dog. He then kissed her on the lips as a way to express his lingering feelings of pure lust. "Did master fill you up?" he asked.

Fluttershy looked down to see some seed begin to leak out of her vaginal opening. She smiled at the sight and happily nodded. "More than enough master." she cooed.

Dainn just smirked at such an adorable face. "Now go to bed, we have a long day tomorrow of conquering ahead of us." he said in a slightly playful tone, kissing her forehead.

"Night, night master." she responded in a child-like manner before she lay her head up against his chest and held him tightly, nuzzling. She soon fell in to her slumber. Dainn just looked down at the mare and the cute face of her asleep. He could not wait to conquer the remaining five elements of harmony.

"I'll wait until I capture Canterlot and her friends before releasing her from my psychic influence, she'll be more easy to break by then." he chuckled before he himself went to sleep, he needed a good night's rest, especially after such a workout.

In Canterlot castle, night fell, and Twilight walked the long stained glass window lined hallway. The entire place ransacked, every stained glass window broken, except for one. The mare looked up to see it was the one commemorating her accession as alicorn and princess. She was hit by a pang of guilt, in hindsight maybe she should've accepted her destiny forced upon her, then maybe this whole mess wouldn't have happened.

"Twilight? There you are." said a relieved Sombra. "I thought you ran off to save your friends..." he looked at what she looked at. He knew exactly what was going on. "There's no use in worrying about past mistakes Twilight, it distracts us from moving on to face the next challenge ahead of us."

"I just want my friends and Equestria safe," she explained. "I don't want Celestia's death to be meaningless." Sombra saw tears well up in her eyes, he immediately wrapped her in a hug.

"We're facing an enemy so much similar to me...it's striking." he looked out to the distance. "Both created by war, both despotic dictators, both former heroes, both open to brutally subjugating their own subjects."

"But he's also different in other ways Sombra." she pointed out as she nuzzled his neck. "You were corrupted by greed while he was corrupted by misogyny and a mythical past. You wanted all the crystals to yourself, he wants all the females to himself. So please don't compare yourself to him," she pleaded. "You're better than and comparing yourself to him only brings you down to his sick and twisted level."

Sombra just held her. "You're right my love...I'm sorry..." he apologized with slight shame. He sometimes wondered what will happen to him once this whole thing was over, it was the only thing he truly had idea about, a frightening thought since he loved to plan ahead.

The sounds of the night were swiftly broken by the sounds of a bell ringing frantically. Someone was at the castle gates. Both the dark king and Twilight galloped over to the main entrance to see who, or what, was there. But what they saw was completely unexpected; an army of Royal Guards, all looked exhausted from the long hike and from Tirek draining away their magic. But even under the torch lit darkness of the palace grounds, Twilight was able to spot the most important member of the group.

"Shining?"

"Twiley...?"
