Before note! this chapter is kinda going to snap half way through... you have been warned! XD


Perspective: Corpus


We all appeared in the infirmary not seconds later, a bright flash and slight queasiness being the only reminders that we even used magic of the temporal kind. The stark white hall lined with beds was a dead give away... Though at the end I could make out a poster with the script "Private Rooms" painted on it hanging over a large set of wood doors, one in and one out.

Celestia quickly ran off down that way yelling for a doctor while Luna led me over to a low slung bed and helped me sit down into it, letting me use her as a crutch for most of my attempts to sit down before she just pushed me over and made me lay back on the bed.

"I will be here later to get everything that happened from thee Corpus... Best to get thy story straight by then..." Luna said to me in a monotone, her face just blank, granted I could feel her torrential emotional storm in the force, even as she kept her features under a massive lock, not showing a thing.

"Aye..." Was my eloquent response, making her eyes squint ever so slightly, almost imperceptibly.


'Damn... I hate hospitals...' I thought as I eyed the fruit and other delectables that had been brought for Aurora as I sat in the seat across from her bed, keeping my breathing light and almost unnoticeable as I watched the sleeping Gryphon lay. Her bandage covered form bringing tears to my eyes, remembering that I had told her that she would be safe with the princesses...and now being turned into a liar... It hurt than one might ever even contemplate possible... But it still made my resolve crack as I remembered the name she called me... how defeated and hopeless she sounded as I held her broken form.

"How sorry Am I... May the force bind me to eternity for what I have let happen to thee, Aurora... Thou art the best duelist of the norm I hath seen in my four centuries... Only the Skywalkers and Solos are of a caliber similar to thine without the use of the force..." I lamented her shining qualities that I saw... Hoping she heard the pride and respect I held in having met and fought with. And how sorry I was for letting something SO WRONG happen to her under my very nose... I should have felt her distress in the force, but I felt nothing... I should have felt darkness coming from the caverns underneath us... But FELT NOTHING... I Felt Nothing...

At that point I felt hollow and alone for the first time in so many years that I could no longer remember. I only wished then that I would be able to have this one instance of normalcy and save a friend, for that is what I saw laying on the bed before me, a friend, sister in arms, and a warrior supreme, and she was in need of all the help she could get... But the force can only do so much...

"Corpus... Corpus, where art thou?" Luna called as she trailed through the long hall of the infirmary, looking for me obviously, and being rather loud about it.

"We art here, Dearest Luna... Come Hither..." I called as I gently moved the door open with the force, granting her a glimpse of where I was and permitting her entrance.

"Aye, we see thou... Please, come, we have much to discuss..." Luna bid me come with a movement of her wing and head, barely tapping my on the shoulder as she walked back out of the small room. Forgoing her earlier statement and bringing me before her sister instead, knowing that it wasn't all her choice in doing so I obliged.


"Good Eve Celestia, Luna..." I nodded to the two Alicorns that were now sitting on their thrones at the end of the large throne room/court room. I then got on one knee and prostrated myself before them, seemingly saddening Luna and making Celestia confused by my actions and Luna's Reaction.

"Please, stand Corpus... Thou art among equals and have no need to demean thyself before us..." Celestia murmured out kindly, her words carrying the weight of a motherly figure trying to console their debased charge.

"Mine is what I do with it Celestia... And I choose to be plain and simple in this time... I DO NOT prostrate myself to thee, woman, I prostrate my self before my first friend of this land... and ask for her forgiveness..." I said, nodding at Luna's place at Celestia's left side, THE wrong side in my opinion.

Sitting there gobsmacked by my even footed dress down of her position and standing, Celestia just stares at me, jaw agape and eyes wide, pupils the size of saucers. I could feel her anger and rage start to seep up through her harmonious facade, along with her hate and jealousy. Luna on the other hand was just about as flustered as her sister, though for a much different reason. She sat there, mouth agape and eyes drawn, and cheeks aflame in embarrassment, glee, and pride, along with a little bit of lust thrown in for good measure.

"HOW DARE THEE!" Celestia bursts out of her seat, mane aflame and eyes on fire as she appeared right in my face within a heartbeat of my words having fully registered in her mind.

"I DARE, because I have no love for how you treated my friend... A friend I PROMISED would be safe in YOUR CARE!" I Bellowed in her face, just moments away from beating the life out of the sun-diarchy. "NOW TAKE A SEAT OR I'LL break you..." The last part I shot between my teeth as I finally got a hold of my emotions. Feeling the Dark-side course through my veins was not helping the situation any at all. Celestia's ears shot against her skull at my last words and I watched in slight humor as her eyes became pinpricks and she moseyed on over to her seat and sat down, still in her terrified daze.

"Corpus... Please sit..." Luna called out to me, drawing my attention away from her sister and alleviating me of my anger rather quickly.

"Aye, Luna, Now we assume this is about what happened down in the dungeons... Are we right?" I ask, falling back into the antiquated speaking. Luna giving me a saddened glance before nodding her head, Celestia not to far behind.

"Aye Corpus, that thou are. Now please, Tell us, what all happened down there." Her tone changed, becoming harder, sterner and solid as granite.

"Aye, but thou might wish a chamber pot near, an unused one preferably... We would not wish to see thee taint thy royal carpet..." I reply morosely, motioning for towards a door I called forth a pair of guards, levitating them in the force before setting them down on the ground before Luna and Celestia.

"Um Your Highnesses... What might us lowly servants bring thee at such a time as this, on such short awareness...?" The two stallion quivered in fear, not really knowing how they were brought in without the Princesses tell of magic enveloping them.

"We... Ask that thou bring forth two freshly cleaned chamber pots... That should be all... Now leave us." Luna spoke up, her Royal tone of voice making the shaking figures before her stand still in fear and purpose.

"Y-yes your majesty!" They shouted and ran off, the door closing inaudibly behind them. Minutes later, with copious amounts of glaring and eye twitching being thrown back and forth be me and Celestia, Luna staying out of it by pure luck, the doors opened and the two Stallions slowly walk in, carrying their burdens in their maws, making sure only their teeth touch the items in their grasps. They then set one down on either side of the Princesses and left, a small trail of dust being kicked up behind them as they ran.

"Now... We ask that thou wuld seal this place from intrusion, and prying ears..." Luna nodded slowly, her horn flashing a few times and then giving me a nod that it was so.

"Corpus, Tell us what all happened, NOW..." Celestia's hard voice rung in my ears, bringing back all the horrific things I saw and did not hours before.

"Fine... From the beginning then. We came back from our excursion into the forest, landing up in the Mage's tower for a few moments before I sent G-R on his way, and carried Luna down to her room along with some of our cargo... We then took a shower and told Luna that we were going to retrieve Aurora from the Dungeons... Seeing as she had been there for the better part of a day and a half... On my way there I stumbled upon a squad of Six Stallions going down to the Dungeons for shift change... I over heard some of their conversations about what they planned on DOING to her... Once we had come to the dungeon entrance, We had been in the rafters the whole time listening in, We found that the guards on the outside were not willing to be apart of the activities going on within the dungeon itself... But they also would not turn in their fellow guards to anypony higher up for fear of loosing their jobs, which to me is a trivial thing in the long run for any being of any status... So upon hearing WHAT all was going on down there I killed them, snapping their necks and ending their lives quickly and painlessly. We then blew the door off its hinges and killed to more guards in the process by turning them into bloody smears on the floor, the door having killed them." At this point Celestia was a little green around the gills and launched her cookies into the pot next to her, Luna on the other hand was fighting back tears and was looking only a little green.

"Art thou ready for more?" I asked Celestia, my tone mono and unhindered by emotion and my face just a blank stare.

"Aye, Corpus, continue..." Celestia nodded, wiping her hoof along her mouth and blinking tears out of her eyes. I then nodded and began again my retelling of the nights incidents.

"Well then, Next I went about Knocking out the other Six guards in there, each of them smelling of sex and blood... We began with the first five, tying them up and leaving them in the main hall of the dungeon. We then found the last one... And Aurora... They were in the middle of their... Session... When we stumbled upon them... We ripped the Stallion from his perch and hit him over the head hard enough to crack his helmet in half with our own bare hand... Knocking the poor bastard out in one blow... We then proceeded to tie him up and look after Aurora, checking her wounds and such... What we found disturbed us... Her wings were shattered... Several ribs broke, feet broken, talons missing, beak busted, and tail snapped several times and tied to her side... We could tell she had been raped at least a minimum of ten times... What we did next was a mercy to those fools no other man would have given them..." I stopped seeing that both Princesses needed a break, I did this only to benefit Luna at this point, not wanting her to lose her dignity, unlike Celestia whom at this point I cared little about. Celestia vomited again, leaving Luna to be the only one, again, to have held her dignity intact. Celestia then nodded towards me again, letting me continue.

"What we did would be considered punishable by death... Unless it was served as a punishment in return for something else, which it was mind thou..." I then sagged my shoulders slightly and hunched my back, gaining a slight manic look about my person, letting my bangs shadow my eyes and allow the dark to change my eyes to yellow for the effect.

"We woke the first five up... Broke their minds... And gave them a simple order... so-do-mi-za-tion... But, not with their Pricks... No We made them Draw their weapons instead... WE made them Drive those metal blades of theirs and ram them into EACH OTHERS anuses... Sodomizing themselves and each other in one go... We left them to their command while we dealt with the other one then... after comforting a recently passed out Aurora, we brought the one that had last rapped her back to the world of the waking sun and released the hold on his pain centers... letting him feel what we were going to do to him... We told him his sentence, then enacted it, ripping his prick from its sheath, testicles and all, and rammed the bloodied member into his sphincter at least three hundred times in under twenty minutes... Shredding his appendage and anus... We then shoved the remains of his prick down his throat and called his 'Friends' over to aid us in his punishment... We brought our full might down upon their minds and commanded them to Sodomize him... Using all of their weapons upon his bloodied sphincter." Through the entire last part of my tail my voice never rose above a loud whisper, as if my words might bring about a new scene of blood shed and torture unseen by any being in this time or the next or even before... I could see Celestia trying to hold what little bit was left of her stomach contents within her as Luna just sat there, pale, blank, and emotionless as I rapped up my story.

"After we were done, We picked up Aurora and walked out. Once on the other side of the threshold we called the door back to its resting place, sealing everything that had happened within the damnable place. Then we took Aurora to the bedroom and cleaned her wounds as best we could and no more than a few minutes after We had finished cleaning and healing the worst of her injuries thou two showed up and took us away... THAT is something We shalt always be thankful for thou both doing in such a timely manner..." I then bowed and fell to my knees, no longer having the strength of will to stand up and face what might just be my executioners a few hours from then.

"Corpus... Is that TRULY what happened down there... All of it... Is it true..." Luna asked me, her tone conveying that she was still trying to keep her sanity after having heard my story.

"Yes... Though We left out many of the more horrendous details... We would not wish to further burden the minds of those that are to rule this land... Especially with the depravities we saw down there... We hold though in to high a regard to torment thou like that, ever." My words seemed to make Celestia go even whiter than her coat should have physically allowed, her eyes becoming pin pricks as she stared at me, great sorrow seen hidden in her deep magenta eyes. Luna's on the other hand showed more than just sorrow, they showed Love, Lose, Hate, Hurt, Anger, Rage, and most of all... Guilt, as if she were blaming herself for the failure of her sisters soldiers.

"Corpus... Go tend to thy friend... We shalt divine thy sentence, if there art to be one, and call upon thee at a later date... Farewell Dearest Friend Corpus..." She then rose off her throne and dragged her sister along with her, man handling her with her magic and taking her off to the side, leaving me to go look after Aurora and aid her in any way possible.

I walked down the long white hall of the infirmary to Aurora's room, paying no mind to the other patients, doctors, and nurses milling about. I bypassed each and every one of them as I let my long strides carry me, right up to the door to Aurora's room. Gently opening the door and slipping in I truly took in the room around me. Straight ahead of me was a blank wall with a few cupboards and a sink built in front of it, to my left was Aurora and all her monitoring equipment, somehow these primitive ponies had a heart monitor and several other things... Whelp screw logic I guess... And then to my right was another blank wall with a pair of chairs sitting against it, one of which being the very chair I had been called form earlier.

Grabbing the chair and shifting it to sit next to the bed I took a seat, still not really understanding why they had such furniture for their species... But I was, an am, grateful for their allowance's of such little relevance. Sitting there I steepled my hands and leaned down into them, resting my elbows on the hospital mattress. I sat there silent for many hours, listening to the steady rhythm of Aurora's heart monitor and thought of what might be my sentence.

After three hours of waiting I finally got my answer as a red coat, green maned, stallion. in a white doctors coat, came into the room, a pair of golden armored guards trailing steps behind him.

"Lord Corpus? I am Doctor Swift stitch, These good stallions here are here to take you to our majesties... Please, don't cause to much of a mess..." The doctor gives me a wink and han- hoofs me a clip board with a piece of paper attached to it. The note read...

'Lord Corpus, We here in the medical wing have all seen what happened to the young Gryphon girl you brought with you... We also have heard on the grape vine that those that caused such injuries have been dealt with severely... We would all like to say 'Thank You' for dispatching those that would do such goddess awful things... You have our support if you ever need it, and will always have a place here among the staff... Good Luck, Doctor Swift Stitch and Staff.' I smiled softly at the sentiment of the note, knowing that there were those that looked upon my actions as right, even if I knew they were evil and vile, almost as much as what had been done to deserve such, but righteous nonetheless.

"Lord Corpus... Follow us please." The two earth guards said simultaneously as I placed the note in my pocket and flashed the doc and his compatriots a grateful smile.

"Aye, Lead the way Stallions." I commanded, motioning forward with my right hand. The three of us left, walking through the halls with very little fan-fair, I say little because I got a few glares from the guards and several gratifying looks from the maids and other staff members of the Ivory palace.

Within a few minutes we made it back to the grand hall/throne room, both Princesses sitting upon their white and black thrones, still in their reversed spots.

"Corpus... We have come to a decision..."

"Finally... We thought We were going to sit in that damend cramp room for hours!" I shought playfully, trying to lighten the mood. All I got out of it was an eye twitch from Celestia and a downward pull of her lips and a brow twitch from Luna and an Upward pull of her lips, the fore trying not to growl and the later trying not to smirk.

"Well then... We can make you wait longer..." Celestia said through her teeth, making me smile at the thought of messing with her head again. At this point and time I think I finally broke for the night, along with Luna... We both kinda snapped by this point and time, dragging Celly along with us too.

"Good... We'll just have to float upside down in a trance and see how many Millennium it takes for you to realize we're a damned immortal just like thou..." I said, giving her the stink eye, and a small grin, while Luna cleared her throat, trying not to laugh at the high tension situation in front of her.

"Corpus, we suggest thou closes thy maw and listens to thy sentence!" Celestia finally snapped and shouted at me, making me smile ever so much more and give a playful bow, finally making Luna snap and laugh at the stupidity of the moment.

"Very well, Imperatrix Caelestibus... Give us thy wrath to smight the mount and bring forth the rain!" I shouted gleefully, cackling all the while, enraging the Sun Princess even more.

"SHUT THY MOUTH THY HEATHEN SON OF MAN!" She screams, making me freeze and Luna stop laughing, both of us giving her wide eyed looks and slack jaws.

"Well... Apologizes Princess..." I said as I Humbly bowed and held my position for several seconds longer than usual, making it apparent that I was TRULY sorry for enraging her.

"Thank thee, apologies accepted... Now, we have come to terms and have seen thee innocent, thy actions were fueled by rage and justice, so thou are not in error here... Thou thy actions were extreme they did bring about the desired end for those that commit such a crime against all sentient beings." Celestia then gives me a gentle smile, one that held great warmth and understanding. Then both Princesses got up from their seats and strolled over to me, motioning me to get down on a knee, to which I obliged hesitantly... Last time this happened I almost got my head taken off by the damned green guy form the Jedi counsel... Yoda I think his name was, fricken jumpy little bastard... ANYWAY!

I get down on my right knee and see a stallion holding two semi long swords comes into view from down one of the many halls of the Throne room, saddling up next to Celestia. Then the two swords, one a dark onix and silver and the other a gold and Ivory, get swallowed up in their respective Princesses magical holds, floating up beside their right shoulders.

"We have also come to... Another... Conclusion with thy actions this eve... Thy judgment and care for those under you, or those that are just thy allies, has shown that thou hast taken great care of thy own in the past and will continue so till thy future ends and the sun dies in thy passing... We have come here now to give thee a special commendation and, if thou accepts, a rank within our armies..." Celestia raises her Long sword and places it on my right shoulder.

"I, Princess Celestia of the free kingdoms of Equestria, hereby dub thee..." She then moves the sword over my head and onto my left shoulder, stunning me even more, yeah Not the best timing I would say for such a thing as a GUCKING NIGHTING! Wouldn't you? No, didn't think so, carrying on! "Master Censor... Prefect of the Royal Sisters." She then smiles at me and turns to Luna, whom has a lopsided frown on her face and is trying not to smack her sister upside the head with the flat of her sword.

"Princess... As much as we accept this... We think thou has a few screws loose in thy head... This is a terrible time for thy ruling of such things..." I complain, trying to make her see reason for her abruptness. Though it doesn't work.

"Sister, Corpus is right... As much as he DOES deserve this... NOW is not the TIME..." Luna says, stressing her words carfully, but to no avail, seeing as Celestia's smile just gets bigger... Damn her... She's trolling us... Fuckin Trollestia man... Even back then... And we just thought she was being an ass... She truly is the master... Fuck...

"Just give him the titale Lu-Lu..." 'OH... DAMN... She didn't... Um, yeah she did... TAKE COVER!' Is all I could think at that moment as Luna's right eye started twitching and her sword started to shake in her magic. I quickly grabbed the sword barer stallion next to Celestia and booked it behind the two thrones, saving our hides and leaving Celestia to her fate.

"Lord Corpus, what is the menaing of this!" The stallion growls.

"Saving your life!" I bark and shove him behind Luna's throne as Magic missiles start flying around the room, smashing into pillars, ceiling, and thrones at random. Suddenly the rooms main door opens and a tired mare comes running in, almost right into the mess of a sisterly spat, that is until I yell "YOINK!" and yank her through the air and over to the Thrones, setting her down next to me and my cover partner.

"What seems to be the issue guard?" I yell over the din of explosions and give a slight cough from the smell of ozone, yeah... Some how the spells they were using gave off the same after affect as my all the plasma based... Damn... so that's why shit was melted... Damn crazy Princesses firing plasma at each other as if it's for free!

"Th-the we-western b-border..." She was trying to catch her breath, seeing as she ran a long ways I flashed the force through her body and refreshed it, wiping away her fatigue and relaxing her muscles. "Wha-"

"Just keep going, it was our doing any way..." I said, waving off her thanks in order to save time.

"The western border has fallen and is over run with Gryphons and a few over grown manticores... along with a giant Hydra and some other creatures we have never seen sir... Should we tell the Princesses?" She asks as we both look towards the raging battle on the other side of the Sun throne we were hiding behind.

"When they stop trying to kill each other sure... For now just gather up a few squads and have them meet me at the gate... This might take some time... We shalt be down in time for a briefing... Now go!" I point towards the door and watch/cover her as she goes, placing a shield around her as she galloped towards and out the massive doors at the end of the hall.

All I could think was, 'This is going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG day... Fuck the CSF... HA!' I then Proceeded to pick up the Barer stallion again and Dash out of the room, leaving the two battling Princesses behind. I then made my way to Luna's room and made a call to a friend of mine... Knowing I would need a few things the near future...


Author's Note

If you can guess the dual meaning of CSF.... I'll give you a cookie :)
