Six Steps To Reformation

“If you don’t explain whut’s goin’ on right now, Ah am gonna use your horn as a backscratcher!’ AJ bellowed, snorting in rage.

“Well, you were going to watch me, and I was going to go out for a stroll.” Sombra started.

“And jus’ leave Rarity like this?!” She asked, pointing to the unicorn’s current condition. Sombra turned to Rarity and stared at the still blissed out mare.

“Honey, you need anything? Your friend Applejack and I were going on a date.” Sombra called into the bathroom. The only sound that escaped Rarity’s mouth was a gentle snore. “See? She’s fine.”

“Hrmmm… and whut if she slips further into… it… an’ drowns, or somethin’?’ AJ grumbled.

“How often does she sleep in the tub? I’d assume as much, since she visits the spa.” Sombra laughed, placing a hand on AJ’s shoulder. “She’ll be fine, trust me.”

Roughly grabbing his chin, she stared into his eyes, searching for anything untoward in his gaze. After a few moments of this, she gave up, saying, “Fine. Ah believe ya.”

Sombra rubbed his chin and smiled. “Fantastic, where to?”

“Whut.” Applejack flatly stated.

“Where. To? As in, where would you like to go? I’m afraid I am not good at imitating a southern accent so I can’t attempt to joke around too much.” Sombra chuckled.

“An’ who said Ah was goin’ anywhere with you?” She replied.

“Well, it would be difficult to keep an eye on me if we’re not together. But you’re right. Maybe I should go pay Fluttershy a visit, I hear she could use help with her animals.” Sombra mused.

Grabbing his arm, AJ said, “Come on. You’re helpin’ me out on the farm, an’ Ah ain’t lettin’ you outta my sight.”

“Great!” Sombra said as enthusiastically as possible, but she could tell he wasn’t looking forward to farm work.

“So, what first?” Sombra inquired.

“First, you’re gonna move all of these hay bales to the barn. Don’t you be givin’ me no backtalk, I can see those muscles on ya. I think maybe… twenty of ‘em should do it. Don’t worry, they’re only about… a hundred pounds each.” She said, snickering at his look of disdain. “When ya finish, I’ll have some apple cider for ya. Don’t tell RD, mind you, but we do keep a few of ‘em in reserve for the year. Jes’ come to the house when yer’ done.” Turning around, she began to walk away. It wasn’t until a purple flash knocked her concentration back to him that she saw the hay seemed to be gone.

“So, cider?” Sombra inquired, grinning at the menial task he was given.

Slapping a hand to her face, AJ mumbled, “Celestia damned unicorns and their magic…” Speaking up, she growled, “No, we ain’t havin’ cider until Ah get you to do some actual farm work.”

“Oh, okay.” Sombra laughed in a more bemused tone. He followed Applejack out to the fields of apple trees.

Walking up to one, AppleJack gave a powerful kick to one of the trees, shaking the entire trunk. At the top, all of the apples dropped, falling neatly into the baskets near the bottom. “Y’see that? Go on, give one ‘a these trees a try. And no magic, y’hear?”

Sombra’s horn had already lit up and was about to go to work before it sizzled out. He slowly approached the tree, looking it up and down. Sombra raised his leg and kicked the trunk as hard as he could. There was a short pause before he fell back onto the grass, clutching his foot.

Rushing up to him, she leaned down, saying, “Is… is that it? Ah… well. ALright, is there some sorta spell you can use ta’ make your kicks harder and not have your hooves break while ya kick the trees?”

Sombra grudgingly dragged himself back to his feet. “No, you said without magic… I’ll do it.” He assured, taking a few steps back before bull rushing the tree with his shoulder. The tree shook for a second before a single apple fell into the basket.

“An’ at this rate, you’ll do it by next year. Use magic.” She reasoned, leaning against another tree. Sombra wasn’t moving much, something that slightly concerned her. “Sombra? Ya okay?”

Sombra turned around slowly, gripping his shoulder tightly. His entire body was shaking. “A- ah… owaa-hh.” He stammered.

“Ya need me to take ya t’ the doc?” She asked, walking up to him quickly.

“Just, uh… gonna rest here for awhile…” Sombra tried to sound as calm (but shakily) as possible as he slid down the trunk to a sitting position.

“Celestia damnit Sombra, stop bein’ so darn stubborn. Tell me if ya need help.” She said, kneeling down to his height.

“Bed… naked women.” Sombra suggested in a pained tone.

“Wh- what?” She said, jerking back. He just smiled and started to laugh. “What d’ya mean, “naked women”?

“Well, you give me examples, and I will tell you if you’re right.” Sombra grinned playfully.

“Ah will hurt you more.” She threatened.

“Oh I’m hurting, trust me. That tree was a challenging opponent.” Sombra could barely contain his laughter.

Applejack growled, and stood up. “Ya wanna see somethin’ Big Mac an’ Ah can do, but don’t do often?”

“Sure?” Sombra cocked his head in a more curious manner.

Pulling her fist back, AJ threw her entire weight into her punch, hitting the tree so hard that it nearly wrenched out of the ground, by the look of it. “Now, he and Ah can do that, but we don’t often, because it takes more out of us than it does to kick.” She leaned down once more to look at him in the eyes. “Now, you and Ah haven’t gotten along real well so far, or at least not on my side of things. But Ah’ve gotten a lot better at holdin’ in my temper these last few years with the girls. This means that, instead of hittin’ you like Ah did that tree, Ah’m gonna ask you one more time: What did ya mean by, “naked women”?”

Sombra was slightly curled up, his hands covering his crotch. “Um… What I meant was… more work to do around the farm.” He corrected in a more hurried and monotonous voice.

“D’ya need any healing ‘fore Ah put ya to work?” She asked in the same tone as before. He shook his head quickly, standing up and waiting for the next command. “Are ya even really hurt?”

“Nothing I can’t deal with.” Sombra shrugged, only one arm moving for the shrug.

“Nice try. Shoot… how ‘bout this: you go to the clubhouse and watch over Applebloom and the other Crusaders, alright?” She offered. He seemed to beam at the idea, but quickly retained his calm demeanor.

“If that is what you wish…” Sombra rolled his eyes.

“Good!” She said, patting his bad shoulder. Grabbing it firmly in her grip, she brought him an inch from her face, saying, “Now, Ah don’t quite know what you’re plannin’ for the rest of us girls, but since Ah’m a nice pony, Ah’ll warn ya once: You even think about havin’ your way with mah sister, and Ah’ll mount yer’ sack on mah wall.”

“How old is she?” He cringed slightly.

“18, ‘few months back.” She replied. Sombra teleported from her painful grip and casually regained his composure.

“I swear on my title as Prince.” Sombra said, placing a hand to his chest. “Ex-Prince.”

She stared into his eyes for a moment, then said, “Ah believe ya. Now git,” Before she walked over to the next few trees, starting to once more kick the apples off of them. Sombra was gone the next moment, leaving her alone in the field.

“So, your sister asked me to watch you three.” Sombra said in his usual regal voice, standing as tall as possible.

“So we have our own personal bodyguard?” Scootaloo asked, sizing him up slowly.

“Affirmative.” Sombra nodded.

“Do ya have ta do anythin’ we say?” Applebloom wondered. Sombra paused for a moment, as if weighing his options in his mind.

“Uh huh.” He nodded slowly.

“Aaaanything?” Sweetie Belle asked slowly, tilting her head. He gave a long sigh before nodding again. Looking at the other two girls, Sweetie pointed to the door, saying, “Head out for a sec’. We’ll tell you when to come back in.”

Sombra walked out of the club house and waited patiently outside the door. After a few minutes, he heard a loud “Okay!” from within, and walked back inside.

“So.” Sombra added.

“We’ve discussed it, and here’s what we want you to do: Scoots wants to arm wrestle you, I wanna give you a makeover, and AB wants to wrestle you for real.” Sweetie explained.

Sombra simply smiled and nodded, walking over to the group. “So who’s first?”

Scootaloo was already sitting at the small table near the side of the room, her arm out and ready to wrestle. “Put em up.” She stated. Sombra took a seat opposite of her and locked his hand with hers. “On 3, ok?” She asked, smirking.

“Gotcha.” He agreed.

“1...2...3!” She shouted, immediately using all of her strength to push his hand downward. Sombra’s hand stopped just above the table, Scootaloo not being able to push it down all the way. Grunting, she tried pushing harder, leaning into it as much as she could while still sitting. Sombra gave a feigned struggle as her hand started to move opposite of where she wanted it to go.

Eyes bulging, Scoots gritted her teeth and flexed her wings, putting all of her might into the fierce battle taking place in the table. By the time her hand was hovering dangerously close to the table, she was salivating and heaving raggedly. Sombra seemed to be struggling at the last couple inches, not able to budge her further. Seeing his plight, she took in a deep breath, giving it her all one last time. His arm seemed to buckle as it flew back, making his hand slam into the table. Letting go of his hand, Scoots threw her hands over her head in happiness, wheezing with exertion. “You’re a strong one.” Sombra chuckled, rubbing his sore hand.

“Th-thanks…” She said.

Pushing Scootaloo onto the floor, Sweetie said, “My turn!”

Sombra relaxed back into the chair. “Can’t wait!” He laughed. Sombra paused for a moment. “Nothing permanent, right?”

Sweetie laughed, saying, “Of course not! I’m just going to transform you into somepony beautiful!”

“Uh huh, and I’m not beautiful now?” He inquired.

“Hmmm… nah. You’re more… handsome.” Sweetie replied.

“Ohh, I see.” Sombra nodded in agreement.

“Then let’s get started!” She squealed, beginning her assault on Sombra’s looks.

“Hrmm… they can’t have gotten into too much trouble, right?” Applejack asked herself, walking up to the clubhouse. Before she could get any closer, a loud noise interrupted her peaceful walk.

“Lemme go!” Applebloom’s voice belted out, the struggle in it obvious. Applejack’s heart skipped a beat, her pace increasing almost immediately. When she looked in the window, she saw the back of Sombra, no shirt, and two legs dangling down over his shoulders and down his back. He was holding Applebloom’s arms, and she couldn’t move at all.

“Stop struggling and just let it happen, it’ll be less humiliating.” Sombra chuckled and laughed.

Applejack immediately burst through the door, giving Sombra an uppercut so hard that it knocked him into the back wall. Not waiting an instant, she advanced further upon him, no longer seeing a pony, but a monstrous being that had been ra-

“APPLEJACK!” Applebloom screamed. “Stop! He wasn’t- we- we were jus’ wrestling!” She hastily explained, holding onto one of her sister’s arms with all of her strength. Applejack saw that Sombra still had his pants on, and that he was on the ground. He didn’t seem to be moving…

“No…” AJ whispered, her voice hoarse. “N-no, no I didn’t mean to!”

“Oh Celestia, you killed him!” Scootaloo shrieked in horror. Sweetie Belle had her mouth covered with both hands, no words able to escape her mouth at the sight before her.

“S-sombra?” Applebloom began to ask, but she was beaten to it by her sister.

“Sombra! W-wake up, Celestia damnit! Don’t… stop sittin’ there!” AJ yelled, now right in front of him and shaking his shoulders. “You can’t… Ah w-won’t let you…” She trailed off, her eyes starting to water. Sombra started to cough, choking on something momentarily before whatever it was now forced itself back into his mouth. He seemed to be wide awake, and attempting to discover what it was. He swished the object around in his mouth for a moment before spitting it out. It was indeed a tooth, and blood was now running down the side of his mouth.

“How bad does it look?” Sombra asked, smiling widely and showing his reddened teeth, with more than one missing…

“Like ya w-went in the ring an’ lost.” Applebloom said, still a bit shaken up.

Before anypony else could speak, though, Applejack let out a choked noise, wrapping her arms around Sombra in a crushing hug. “Ah thought… A-ah thought that… you w-weren’t movin’, Sombra…” She trailed off.

“I’m fine, Applejack. I think Applebloom caught me off guard, I’m sure she didn’t mean it.” Sombra laughed, returning the hug. He doesn’t seem to realize it wasn’t Applebloom’s fault.

“I think we might have to visit Twilight at some point, and fix your to- teeth.” Sweetie said. Sombra nodded and attempted to stand up, unable to escape Applejack’s grip.

“I’m gonna need to stand up now.” Sombra smiled.

“Stand? Oh hay no, Ah’m gonna carry you there. It’s the least Ah can do for ya, seein’ as Ah was the one who knocked em’ out an’ all.” Applejack said, standing up and holding Sombra in her arms.

“Oh, you hit me?” Sombra cocked his head curiously. Before she could answer, he shrugged. “I’m sure you had your reasons.” He assured.

“The wrong ones, that’s for sure.” Applebloom interjected. “Why would you think he was, well, y’know? He ain’t been nothin’ but kind to us. Ponyfeathers, he even let Sweetie here give him a makeover!”

At that, Applejack noticed for the first time that Sombra’s hair was much shorter than when she last saw him at Rarity’s. It used to be down to the center of his back, but was now barely two inches in length, cut short and seemed sleek, as if just washed and conditioned. “Ah… Ah know… and Ah’m sorry about that, Sombra. I’ve been holdin’ a grudge against ya since Ah saw you again. Ya don’t deserve that… Ah can truly see that you’ve changed.” She said.

Sombra shook his head. “You have nothing to apologize for, you thought I was taking advantage of your sister and you did what you had to. That’s really inspirational, ya know, looking out for your family is important. You certainly set an example, and I mean that.” He finished.

“Ah don’t care if you’re proud, Ah still feel like horseshit.” She grumbled. Turning around, she looked at the three girls, saying, “Alright. Say goodbye, girls. Ah’m taking him to Twilight’s.”

“Goodbye girls, Ah’m taking him to Twilight’s.” Sombra joked. The three crusaders smiled and started to giggle.

“See ya, dude. Next time, I’ll beat you way easier!” Scootaloo said.

“Bye, Sombra! I think… I think you look a lot more handsome, now.” Sweetie said, blushing.

“See ya, partner! Ah hope that I can get stronger, so maybe next time Big Mac doesn’t show up an’ see me under you like AJ did.” Applebloom joked.

“Try not to kill him, okay?” Scootaloo chuckled, crossing her arms.

“Trust me, he’ll get there jus’ fine.” AJ said, walking out of the small treehouse.

“So… Onward?” Sombra asked.

“If you say “My trusty steed”, Ah… well, Ah won’t hurt ya, but Ah’ll make you feel bad.” AJ said.

“I believe I am the one riding you, my little pony.” Sombra teased.

“Ah know damn well you ain’t Celestia or Luna, an’ Ah’m pretty sure Ah’m taller than you by a little.” She retorted.

“I’m sure that matters.” Sombra added. He took her hat and set it atop his own head. “Now I am taller.” He laughed triumphantly.

“Watch yer’ horn.” She chuckled out. Sombra glanced up and saw his horn was now sticking out of the hat.

“Gotcha.” He nodded.

They walked on in silence for a minute, or at least Applejack did, before she broke the silence by asking, “So… what’s yer plan?”

“Hopefully walking.”

“Ah’m not gonna get anythin’ outta you, am Ah?” She wondered aloud.

“I’m done being cocky, what do you want to know?” Sombra said in a more somber tone.

“What’s yer plan with the six of us girls? Ah’m not stupid, Ah know that you only went with me today because you felt like you had to, not because you wanted to.” She softly said.

“Applejack… before I was evil, and yes, there was a ‘before I was evil’... I was what Cadence is now. I wasn’t just a King…” Sombra started.

“What were ya?”

“Let’s just say that royalty in the Crystal Empire takes on a lot of similar traits. I haven’t been trying to have sex with you and your friends without basis.” Sombra chuckled. “While Cadence is more refined, more loyal to one pony… I am more of the ‘bachelor’ pony.”

“Uh… you mean, you want a herd?” AJ asked, a bit confused. “Well, maybe a harem, Ah don’t quite know what royal herds are called.”

Sombra seemed shocked at the statement. “Me? Well… I’d never considered. I just believe that love shouldn’t be restricted… and marriage is just that. Even Princess Cadence has fallen to its’ grasp. It just… I don’t see the interest in it.”

“Ah’m not hearin’ a no.”

Sombra seemed to think of the idea momentarily. “Well, I suppose. I do feel strongly about you and your friends, and would be rather nice if I could stay with them. If you’ll allow such a… relationship.” He shrugged, seeming genuinely intent on not hurting Applejack or anyone else.

“Hmm… y’know… as much of an ass you can sometimes be, y’are pretty damned attractive.” Applejack admitted.

“And you as well. You know, strength is a very rare thing. You and your family truly give earth ponies their name. You did, afterall, one-hit K.O. Hitler moments ago.” He grinned a little wider.

“...Who?”

Sombra shook his head and waved the question off dismissively. “The point is, you give your species a good name.” He continued.

“So d’you.” She agreed.

“Mm, you think?”

“Hay, not only are ya handsome, but you got a longer horn than any other unicorn Ah’ve ever seen-even if it is… well… how it is- and ya got some serious magical powers, from what Ah’ve heard.” She said.

“Oh, so you’ve been thinking about my ‘horn’ have you?” He grinned in a more sly manner.

“If you’re second horn is anythin’ like yer’ first, it’s gotta be one heckuva sight.” She quipped.

“Perhaps I’ll have to give you a demonstration, no?”

“You wanna tussle with me in th’ sheets?” She asked, laughing a bit.

“Yes, I do.” He said in the most serious voice she had heard from him. Sombra didn’t seem to be joking, and she knew that all too well due to her element. “I would put a saddle on you and ride you around town like the little cow-slut you are.”

Applejack coughed, nearly falling over in shock from the sudden sexual depravity coming from the usually-SFW stallion. “Wh-what?”

“Oh, dear me, please accept my apologies. Sometimes my thoughts get ahead of me.” Sombra laughed softly, putting his arm around her and glancing ahead at where they were going (or at least, where she was carrying him).

“If those’r yer thoughts, Ah’m a mite nervous about sleepin’ next to ya, not to mention with you.”

“You won’t be getting much sleep tonight.” He assured, pausing for a few more moments. “Again… my apologies.”

“Somepony’s very confident.” She chuckled.

“I am a King for a reason, dear.” He stated.

“Thought y’weren’t King anymore?” She asked.

“Your friends have given me what I needed. I am a King, and I always will be. Of what, I think I will still need time to figure out.” He chuckled.

“Eh… t’be serious, after seeing the state Rainbow n’ Rares were in, Ah think it’ll be somethin’ to remember.” AJ said.

“Of course I won’t let you forget it.” Sombra said, his magic surrounding them both and, before she knew it, they were in front of Twilight’s house. Sombra was now the one standing, and Applejack was in his arms instead. “Oh look, we’re here.”

“Wh-... Celestia damnit…” She mumbled, blushing. His magic opened the door and he took her inside. Twilight was on her couch, reading some kind of black book. The purple unicorn’s eyes met with Sombra’s, drawing utter confusion into the form of a quiet ‘huh’.

“My friend is hurt, I think she may need some assistance.” Sombra said, smiling down at Applejack.

“Only thing hurt here is m’ pride…” She continued to grumble.

“She’s just upset because she knocked a few of my teeth out. I mean seriously, she can’t seem to understand that she didn’t mean to do it!” Sombra rolled his eyes and brought her over to the couch.

“Um…” Twilight mumbled, staring at the short haired, bare chested Sombra, who was wearing Applejack’s hat.

“Something the matter?” Sombra asked, snapping Twilight from her fantasy.

“Not at all! What’s wrong with her?” Twilight asked quickly, jumping to her feet and rushing over to the two.

“Ah done told ya, there ain’t nothin’ wrong with me!” AJ said, crossing her arms.

“I think she’s suffering hysteria.” Sombra admitted.

“If you don’t put me down right now, Ah’m gonna retract my statement about not hurtin’ ya anymore.” She said.

Sombra gently lied Applejack onto the couch. “I think she may also be on her period.” He whispered. Twilight nodded slowly and looked down at Applejack.

“Don’t believe anythin’ he says.” She retorted.

“As you can see, she’s losing it.” Sombra said in a feigned tone of worry.

“Y’know, insultin’ the mare ya wanna have a roll in th’ hay with ain’t such a good idea.” Applejack said.

“Huh??” Twilight uttered, her gaze snapping to Applejack.

AJ snorted. “Don’t act surprised. Y’knew he was gonna do it at some point.”

“We were wondering if we could borrow your couch, your bed, and your library.” Sombra nodded with his returning smile.

“I… huh?” Twilight still seemed to not understand.

“Uhh… Ah agree. Ah thought we were just here for a healin’, not for the foolin’ around.” AJ said.Sombra nodded and fell onto the couch beside Applejack.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling better already!” Sombra teased, nestling himself against her.

“Twilight, fix his dang teeth,” Applejack said, blushing at the stallion’s antics. “Please.” She added.

“What teeth?” Twilight inquired. Sombra glanced back and smiled a little wider, showing the bloodstained teeth, and the spots where teeth SHOULD be. “Oh what the hell happened?!”

Applejack’s heart skipped a beat as the guilt returned in full force. “It was nothing, wrestling just got a little out of hand with Applebloom and the other two crusaders.” He laughed.

“...Yeah. Somethin’ like that. Can ya fix him, Twilight? His face, at least. Well, as much as you can. Which isn’t much. Jus’ do your best.” Applejack said, starting out serious but quickly joking around. Twilight nodded and rushed over to one of the bookshelves labeled ‘Health’.

Sombra’s embrace he had around Applejack grew a little tighter, but no words seemed to escape his mouth. Copying him, Applejack simply stayed silent and leaned into it a bit. Sombra opened his mouth to speak, but all that came out was a pained, “AH!”

Jumping up, Applejack said, “Damnit! Uh, Ah mean, what’s wrong?”

Sombra was holding his jaw, slowly releasing it momentarily and smiling. Applejack saw his teeth had returned. She turned to look at Twilight, her horn was glowing her usual purple tint. “There ya go.” Twilight said happily, standing as straight as possible in an attempt to say how good of a job she did.

“Huh… it’s all fixed up in there, then?” AJ asked, tilting her head.

“Mmhm.” Twilight nodded, returning a rather thick book to the ‘Health’ shelf. Sombra pulled Applejack closer once more to remind her that he was still there.

“Like I said, I feel just fine.” He said gently as he kissed her cheek.

“Heh… uh, Twi? One last thing… you think you can teleport us to my home?” AJ asked.

“Is that a challenge?” Twilight smirked, her horn already alight.

“No, why would it be a cha- and we’re in mah bed.” Applejack trailed off as the two were no longer in the familiarity of the library.

“Well, this is nice.” Sombra added.

“Convenient, too.”

“So, what’s the first order of business? Dinner, movie, stroll through the park? Or perhaps you’d like to unwrap your present early.” He teased with another gentle kiss on her nose.

“Hmm… do Ah get any hints as to what my present is?” She asked, lowering her eyelids.

“Maybe if you be a good girl, I might let you give it a good shake…” He grinned.

“A shake, huh? Lemme guess… a maraca?” She teased.

“How did you know?” Sombra gasped.

“You know that Ah love Mexicolt music, it was obvious!” She said, laughing. He pulled her hat off his head and placed it back onto her.

“I think it looks better on you.” Sombra was practically beaming at her laughter.

“Well, you pulled it off pretty we… Sombra?” She asked, her tone going flat.

“Uh huh?” His curiosity growing to outweigh the slight knot in his stomach.

“Why is there a hole in mah hat?”

“Is that an innuendo?” Sombra inquired in an attempt to avoid the question.

“Don’t.” She said.

“Well, you see, when a hat and a unicorn love each other very much…” Sombra continued slowly.

“Ugh, nevermind… Ah’ll jes’ take it to Rarity’s tomorrow, or somethin’.” She said, tossing it onto the dresser across from her bed. “Now, where were we?”

“I think we were right abooout…” Sombra extended, pulling her directly against his body and letting his lips find their way to her own. It was at that moment that Applejack could feel that he wasn’t wearing a shirt, even though she had known for the longest time. His warmth seemed to radiate into her core, giving her will less protection than it usually had.

She pulled off of him for a moment, saying, “Mmm… ya taste… sweet, like somethin’ I’ve never had before.”

“I think it may be what I ate last night.” Sombra grinned widely, hinting at what transpired with Rarity the other night.

“Damn… if that’s what Rares tastes like, Ah can’t wait for ya to make that herd!” She exclaimed, locking lips back with him. Sombra climbed atop her, forcing his tongue into her mouth and letting his full weight press against her, only increasing the warmth that surged through her body.

Applejack could feel his longer-than-average tongue sliding into her mouth, licking and sliding all around her own tongue, surrounding it in a warm embrace. When he finally slipped his head back, she whimpered at his lack of affection. “Can’t wait? So you’ve been thinking of it… naughty pony.” He teased, gently nipping at her neck.

“S-stop teasin’ me…” She said, groaning a bit from the feel of his teeth scraping along her skin. Sombra’s horn surged to life, and the bed started to vibrate, driving her insane as her clothes gnawed at her increasingly sensitive skin. “S-sombraaaa…” She moaned. She attempted to stretch her legs out, realizing that she couldn’t as something started to cover it. When Applejack glanced down, she saw her limbs slowly becoming encased in magenta crystals, a strange color when compared to the black ones he had used when they fought the year before. “Wh-what’re you… what’s th-this?” She asked, regaining her lucidity back for a quick moment.

“Remember when I said I wasn’t mad at you when you hit me?” He mused, lowering his hands down her body slowly.

“Y-yeah…”

“I lied…” He smirked mischievously, his hand sliding into her pants, three fingers forcing themselves into her aching pussy without so much as a warning.

“AH!” SHe cried out, arching her head back from the sudden burst of pleasure. His thumb pressed and ground against her clit as his three fingers pushed deeper, and deeper. His pinkie was the last to touch her flesh, finding its way into her backdoor. “S-Sombra… wh-what… I’ve never…”

“I am going to stretch both of these holes by the end of the night. And I’m going to turn you into a whimpering, moaning slut.” He declared, spreading his fingers apart and letting them stretch her wider.

“D-don’t…” She tried to say.

“Unfortunately, that hole will be staying shut.” Sombra smirked, his magic forcing her mouth shut and clamping down around it. “Now, as a King, I am a fair pony… Normally striking royalty is punishable by death, but I can make an exception…” He said in a more playful, sultry voice. His other hand moved up under her shirt and ran across her firm breasts, seeming to enjoy the feel. She rolled her eyes up into her head, moaning clearly through the magic covering her mouth. He cackled quietly and traced a fingernail down the center of her body, cutting her clothes off almost effortlessly like it was a razorblade. Looking back down at him, she made a few noises that signaled that she wanted to say something, asking his permission. A hole appeared in the magical gag, letting air pass into her mouth. “Talk, whore.” He commanded. “Tell your King your feelings…”

“Be rough… show m-me… that you can handle a true earth pony…” She panted out, fire in her eyes.

“That’s more like it.” He grinned, feeling his own loins stirring. Applejack had the perfect view of the growing bulge in his kingly slacks.

“H-how… how big is it?” AJ asked.

“Big enough to make Rainbow scream.” Sombra added, slowly rubbing himself to even harder lengths as he examined her now naked body. “Well, at least… when she wasn’t gagging.”

“G-gagging?”

“I fucked her throat full of cum.” He answered as bluntly as possible.

“Ah… huh… that explains a bit…” She murmured. Sombra’s magic returned to life, Applejack’s heart skipping a beat as something started to prod her backdoor. “Th-that… that’s bigger than mah h-hoof… Ah don’t… Ah don’t know if A-Ah can take that, Sombra…” She said

Sombra’s sinister smile grew. She could feel her cheeks spread apart as the large, phallus shaped crystal slid achingly slow towards its’ mark. Her mouth opened to say something, the only thing that escaped it was a choked cry of a slobbery, muffled noise as the phallus forced itself suddenly into her, the sudden stretching seeming to barely fit, but she knew it was going in regardless of that fact.

“A-ah! So… h-huge…” She said, anal walls convulsing around the crystal inside of her.

“Squeezing is only going to make it hurt worse. It’s not going to stop until it’s all the way in…” He continued, standing and slipping the last of his clothes down, revealing a sight that brought a slight surge of horror to her, paired with a heated flash of arousal.

“How… wh-what… that’s nearly as b-big as mah leg…” She whimpered. Sombra, however, didn’t seem to care. The crystals around her legs slowly dragged them apart, forcing her to tighten around the intruding dildo. “Grrr… fine… go o-on, do it… see iffin’ you can tame this farm-grown m-mare..”

Sombra forced the dildo in a foot further as his hand worked its way up and down her marehood teasingly. Groaning, AJ bucked her hips up, trying to get more of him in her cunt, disappointedly lowering herself when he pulled his hand back. He crawled forward onto the bed, his rigid stallionhood prodding menacingly against her impatient slit. The previous thought that maybe it’s a little too big returned to her. “Luna d-damnit, would ya hurry up?” She groaned out. Sombra’s thumb physically pushed her hips back down into the bed with enough force to cause her to black out momentarily.

“I don’t think you’re in a position to judge.” Sombra laughed. “Position? Get it?”

“Hilarious.” She deadpanned. Sombra rolled his eyes and started to push himself forward, relishing in the two lips beginning to stretch and encompass his stallionhood. Feeling a bit mischievous, AJ flexed her inner muscles, making the ride inside a much more demanding experience on Sombra’s end. His teeth clenched together as he pushed slowly into her waiting depths, seeming to be having a slight bit of trouble. Sombra smirked and his horn glowed with a dim purple light, the toy in her ass growing exponentially. “Gah! What’re ya-” She tried to say, cut off by a sudden thrust further into her cunt.

“Muuuch better.” Sombra sighed pleasantly, his stomach and chest now pressing against hers, leaving them face to face. He smiled down at her and gently pecked her lips. “Hi.”

Leaning her head back up to his, Applejack locked him into a much deeper kiss. After letting him go, she said, “Howdy.”

Sombra couldn’t help but show the most happy smile she’d ever seen on him. His hands dug into the crystals around her body like a hot knife through butter until she felt his delicate touch clasp gently onto her rump, now giving her a more gentle thrust that she expected after all the ‘roleplaying’ that had been done.

“A-ah… Ah thought Ah t-told ya to go f-faster…” She moaned.

“In due time, dear.” Sombra cooed, tenderly kissing her neck and pulling his hips back, only to saw back into her aching pussy. Applejack’s insides were quivering and pulsing with its’ own heartbeat, practically making her suffer with the slow pace of his ministrations.

She growled at him, trying her hardest to break out of her imprisonment and get at him. Sombra felt as if he had just discovered a new part of her to play with, only making his shaft grow harder. More crystals started growing onto her chest, not sharp or misshaped, but almost like a bra forming around her chest and encompassing her breasts. The smooth, cool material made her breath catch itself in her throat. “What… what’s th-that?”

Sombra answered by bringing a hand up to the bra and clicking it. The entire crystal bra started vibrating like a tuning fork had just been hit.

“Hhhaaahhn!” She squealed out. “What in T-Tartarus?”

Sombra reeled back and slammed his hips against hers with a particularly rough thrust, catching her off guard from the care he had been previously showing.

“Ah th-think… you’re too long to f-fit all the way in…” She gasped out.

“Mm, is that a challenge?” Sombra mused, his hips slowly pulling back, as if winding up for a rough push.

“N-no, it’s an observaAAAAAHHH!” She screamed out, throwing her head back as Sombra slammed back into her, the tip of him hitting her cervix with a solid thump.

“Well, that’s no good. We’re almost there, sweetie.” Sombra assured, gritting his teeth and beginning an unexpected assault on her pussy, not letting a single thrust shy away from bottoming out. AJ couldn’t even respond, the pleasure clouding her mind to the point of mumbling out sweet nothings back to him. Sombra, however, was grunting and growling amidst his efforts, his hot breath washing over her body with every powerful thrust that she had so desperately craved this entire time. He could feel the final barrier weakening, each bash having a bit more give at the end of it.

“Here…”

Sombra’s hips stabbed at hers, gaining another inch inside her.

“We…”

And another…

“Go!”

Applejack’s mind was annihilated with mixed sensations as the signal he had made it inside was announced by the loud, wet slap of his sack against her ass.

Managing to bring herself back to a semblance of sanity, AJ looked down her body, seeing the thick bulge of his cock under her skin, the tip going further than she’d ever thought possible. Sombra couldn’t help but chuckle at his victory, giving her ‘bra’ another musical flick. “Ah! How do y-you keep... doin’ that?” AJ asked

“Think of it as a gift.” Sombra replied, prodding her special bra. “Maybe I’ll give you some panties too, heh…” He teased, feeling himself growing closer to his orgasm. She could feel it, too, the throbbing of his cock giving it away. Sombra leaned down, kissing her with a rather rough and passionate move of his hips. Before she knew it, his tongue was exploring her mouth and splitting their tastes evenly through each other’s mouths. She screamed into his mouth as his cock filled with sperm, raising the temperature of the impaling rod by a good few (noticeable) degrees, along with swelling her womb by a rapid degree. Sombra couldn’t help but smile at her bloating stomach, peppering her neck with kisses and her body with tender caresses and squeezes. “Now, do you understand Rarity’s bath?” Sombra asked, his semen making her tingle with pleasure that she, ironically, didn’t see coming.

The feeling of her skin stretching and bloating was new to Applejack, or at least in this form it was. “Hnnng… A-ah do… but ah hope ya aren’t p-plannin’ on… fittin’ all of that in me.”

“Oh, trust me… Ponies are extremely pliant.” Sombra teased, nipping at her ear and sending a chill of pleasure down her spine. Sombra slowly started to pull out, leaving her without a single moment of emptiness as the fluids in her gut followed. Just as he slipped out, a crystal pair of underwear formed from the crystal dildo in her other hole, holding all the liquids inside. Sombra moved up closer to her head, his shaft still oozing and spurting his purple jizz lightly. Applejack WAS feeling a little thirsty...

Leaning forward, she slurped the head into her mouth, lightly sucking the seed from his length. Sombra moaned softly, raking his hand through her hair. “Drink up, you’re gonna need it.”

Popping off of him for a moment, she asked, “Need it? Fer what?”

Sombra moved back down, the crystals binding her to the bed growing and forcing her hips into the air. She groaned loudly as the toy in her ass started to slide out, seeming to answer her question.

“Oh. Oh shit.” She said.

“Hopefully not.” Sombra laughed. A hole appeared in the back of the underwear, the cold air of the room washing over her long filled hole.

“Hhhnnn… s’ cold…” She mumbled. Sombra smiled and prodded the hole with his still hardened length, immediately warming it back up once more.

“Better?” He asked.

“Yeah, it iIIISS!” She grunted, his sudden thrust into her distorting her speech. Sombra’s magic lit up momentarily, and Applejack felt something hard forcing itself into her abused pussy, seeming as big as his own cock. “Is… what? Your m-magic?”

“Are you surprised? It mimics me.” Sombra added, his magic pushing into her cunt at the same speed as him into her ass.

“Mimics y-you?”

Sombra confirmed her suspicion once he started to pull back, the intruder in her vagina following his cock and moving back as well. “Mimics me.” He nodded. Sombra gripped her tightly, making her scream as both cocks drilled into her, violently tearing at the rippling assflesh that jiggled so prominently around it. He let out an almost amused chortle, absolutely enthralled by the usually tough pony wrapped in a world of pleasure.

“Nnnff… s-so deep…” AJ moaned. “Ah l-love how it f-feels…”

“I bet you do, bet you’ve been dreaming of this since you saw me?”

“N-no!” She said, blushing. “W-well… maybe. A-a little.” AJ admitted. “Seein’ what y-you did to Rainbow was… e-enlightening.”

“Mm, I wonder how many of your friends were thinking the same. Maybe I should pay a visit to the rest?” Sombra cooed, hilting himself and grinding around in a manner that stretched her further.

“Haaah! M-maybe… you should…” She gasped. “Ah know th-that Pinkie’s been th-thinkin’ about ya a l-lot.”

“Maybe I should, hmm… teach your pink haired friend that I can be very, very kind.” Sombra grinned, leaning down to kiss Applejack’s neck and caress her skin.

“Ah’m… s-still serious about what Ah said a wh-while back… you hurt any o-of ‘em and I’ll teach y-you a lesson.” She said, getting serious for a moment. AJ calmed down a moment later, saying, “B-but, uh, if you w-wanna show her a good time… P-Pinkie likes movies.”

“What’s a movie?” Sombra cocked his head curiously.

“Aw, n-never mind… just ask her t-to take you to one tomorrow.” AJ said. “Now, let’s get b-back to what you were doin’... which i-is fuckin’ me.”

“Goodness, getting ahead of ourselves.” Sombra laughed, giving a particularly rough thrust that knocked the wind from the earth-pony’s lungs. As AJ once more gasped for air, she could feel Sombra’s cock- and cock mimic- speed up, hilting inside of her nearly twice as fast. As Sombra’s own shaft started to swell with a sweet batch of his cum, the one in Applejack’s pussy began to grow right alongside it.

Finally getting her breath back, AJ asked, “Is it- are y-you cummin from b-both?”

“Ohh, what? You think I can’t?” Sombra teased.

“It’s n-not what Ah expecteeeeeeed!” She squealed, the feeling of her double-stuffed holes being pumped full of boiling hot cum taking her breath away in an sudden orgasm. It’s almost as if his entire purpose was to suffocate her on her own pleasure.

“Get used to the unexpected. Although, from what I’ve heard, you and your friends already have.” Sombra laughed under his breath as more of the thick, purple liquid traveled through both of his appendages and filled her more. The feeling that maybe she had bitten off more than she could chew, and swallowed it, and was now going to regret it for the rest of the day, came to her mind.

It had been nearly a minute by then, and he’d still kept going. Her stomach had rounded out to a dome, and with every new splurt from inside, stretched out just a bit more. “A-are you ever… gonna stop?!” She panted.

“You remember Rarity?” He leaned in, giving her a couple extra inches she didn’t even know he had and making every wall of her interior ripple with an orgasm out of the blue.

“Hnnng! Aw… aw shit…” She groaned. “Ah don’t… th-think Ah can hold that m-much…”

“Funny, that’s what Rarity said.” Sombra mused, rubbing her belly gently before giving it a hard flick. AJ looked down and watched as the ripples spread out, her tummy jiggling and wobbling before settling back down to its gently expanding state. “If I may ask…”

“Wh-what?”

“Do you honestly think I’d hurt anyone?” Sombra seemed to frown at the thought, feeling a tad bit of guilt.

“Well…” She thought for a moment, gently moaning from his still-shooting cock, “Honestly? N-no… Ah didn’t think ya’d hurt the Crusaders, e-either. Ah guess Ah j-just freaked out then… and again, right n-now.”

“Speaking of, that brings me to my next point.” Sombra continued, beginning round two and slowly starting to saw into her again, this time much slower and carefully.

“A-again?!” She squealed.

“No, no, that’s not what I’m talking about. That was going to happen anyways.” Sombra rolled his eyes. “I meant, your sister and her crusader friends.”

“What… what about em’?” AJ asked.

“Well, you told me not to have sex with them.” Sombra continued.

“A-and?”

“I’m just curious as to… why? I truly wouldn’t hurt them. My job is to make my people happy, and I don’t have any people left. I wouldn’t have anything to gain by harming them.”

“Like Ah said… Ah just f-freaked out. It was a b-big sister moment.” She explained.

“So, your word still stands?” Sombra asked, tenderly tracing a finger around the dark nipple on her left breast while squeezing and pulling on the other.

“Huh… jes’ d-don’t get em pregnant, alright?” She asked.

Sombra smiled and nodded. “Not as if any of your friends will be, nor you.”

“Heh… does th-that have anything to do with the purple cum?” AJ smirked.

“If I wanted you knocked up, it wouldn’t be purple.” Sombra nodded. He slid his hands down to her hips and leaned down to plant a kiss on her lips. She moaned into his mouth, lightly tickling his tongue with hers as he began thrusting into her earnestly once more. With a gentle coo from him, he pulled his head back and said, “Besides, it’s not as if Applebloom is a virgin.”

“WHAT?!”

Sombra yanked himself back, nearly falling from her body entirely before catching himself by grabbing her hips. “Wh-what? What’d I say?”

“Ya said she wasn’t a virgin!” AJ yelled.

“No, she isn’t… somepony named Pip?”

“Ah’m gonna MURDER that little shit!” She roared. Sombra’s eyes widened momentarily. His horn flared up and more crystals started to grow around her, encompassing her breasts, arms, and legs. “The Tartarus… Somrba, you’d better not be dommmph!” She tried to say, stopped by a ball-gag appearing out of nowhere.

“I am doing this out of love.” Sombra added hesitantly. AJ ignored him, instead thrashing around as best she could in her crystal prison and doing her damndest to bite through the ball-gag. He bit his lip for a moment before bringing a hand to her new crystal clothes. With a rough flick, the entire set of armor started to vibrate with a gentle, musical hum. Applejack tensed up as her entire body was massaged, tingling lightly as Sombra pulled himself from her ass, quickly replaced with yet another crystal alike the one in her pussy.

AJ slowly calmed down, still moving around in her crystal suit, but no longer trying to break out. She softly moaned into the ball-gag, thrusting her hips back and forth to try and get the crystals deeper inside of her.

“Thaaat’s right… just relax.” Sombra smiled, flicking the crystals again. The intensity grew two fold, making her entire body tense up. As the crystal spread around her clit, a new world of sensations made her body quake and thrash. She screamed into the ball-gag once more, but this time in orgasm. Mare-cum sprayed out from around the dildo inside of her, drenching the sheets beneath. “There, isn’t that better?” AJ weakly nodded. His hand wandered over, flicking once more. Applejack’s mind reeled, slowly turning to putty at the musical crescendo only growing louder, and louder. The sound of the door clicking open made Sombra freeze in his tracks.

His head snapped to the door, seeing her big brother standing there in utter shock. Along with the flaming red outshining his own skin, Big Mac had another emotion on his face.

“Heeey Big Mac…”
