Batpony: The Clopfic, The Breakfast Cereal

Sunny fell for what felt like forever, driven dizzy and disoriented by the swirling whirlpool of energy all around her. She had long since run out of breath to scream with, and it was all that she could do to keep flapping her wings and taking long, deep breaths to try and get some air back in her lungs. In spite of her best efforts, she kept falling, further and further into nothingness until she couldn’t even see the chest lid anymore, a tiny black pinpoint in a whirlpool of magic.

Finally, as she resigned herself to the realisation that she was probably about to die, the pit opened up again, spitting her out into a very unusual scene indeed. A great big swampy-looking forest stretched out in all directions around her, with strange crooked trees everywhere in sight. For a brief wonderful moment, she had a bird’s eye view of a great forest, beyond which lay a golden sea, a beautiful palace and the yellow dusk sky, but then it struck her that she was actually accelerating quite quickly towards the ground.

“Shit shit SHIT!” Sunny screamed, flapping her wings again in horrified desperation. Her efforts certainly slowed her fall, but they simply weren’t enough to keep her from crashing headlong into the tangled branches below. Sunny yelped and chittered as she crashed through the aging old limbs, eventually finding herself well and truly entangled in foliage and twisted wood.

“F...fuck…” she breathed, hanging upside-down from the knotted branches and chancing a look back up at the sky. The wormhole pulsed occasionally above her, shrinking down into a tiny green speck before disappearing from the sky entirely. Sunny, poor bat that she was, was left with nothing but the dusk above her.

“Well that’s just great…” Sunny whispered, trying to tug herself free of the branches. Her skirt fell down over her hips, showing off her bright pink thong and compelling her to blush furiously in spite of her being completely alone. Kicking and flailing, Sunny finally dislodged her legs from the tree and plummeted to the ground, hitting the muddy forest floor with a rather wet smack.

Sunny’s growls and angry chitters grew into a frustrated scream as she thrashed around in the thick mud, spreading her leathery wings as she hauled herself up into a sitting position.

“I hate magic, I hate magic, I fucking hate magic…” she muttered, trying to rub some of the mud off of her legs and back. “Damn it, what the fuck did that fucking pony do to me? How the hell did she fit all of this in one fucking box?”

She struggled to her feet, shaking her butt to dislodge more of the mud, and pulled her skirt back down so that it at least went some way towards making her decent again. She blew her mane out of her face, staring around at the trees irritably as muddy water dripped down her arms and legs.

“Hello? Anypony there?” she called out experimentally.

No answer.

“This is great...just fucking great…” she huffed under her breath, clambering over fallen branches and muddy rocks. Her boots sank into the mud, covering them and making her cringe with each footstep.

Come on, those were brand new...and expensive… she thought to herself.

Sunny grasped onto a nearby low-hanging branch and hoisted herself out of the gulch and onto dry land, but when she did, she heard a horrible ripping sound coming from around her waist. The poor little batpony closed her eyes, whispering a few rather dirty words under her breath, before looking down at herself.

Her skirt was torn right down the side, exposing her thong strap and her shapely, muddy thigh. A thread was caught on a nearby branch, and seemed to have torn the whole thing from top to bottom down her right side. Thankfully, by some miracle, it was still on, if only because of her belt and a thin strip of elastic around her waist.

“What the fuck did I do to deserve this…” she began, dislodging the thread and trying to tuck her skirt in to stop it from showing off quite so much of her leg.

“You know precisely what you did to deserve this…” came a voice. It seemed to emanate from everywhere and nowhere at once, permeating the thick dark woods and echoing all around Sunny. Her ears pinned back against her head again, more a natural reaction than anything else.

“Who the fuck are you?” she called out. “Are you that old bitch from the tent? What did you do with me? Don’t tell me you ate that smart-mouthed pegasus, too!”

“Oh, you misunderstand, little bat pony. You see, you brought yourself down here, and since you seemed so eager to visit this lovely land of punishment, I feel it only fair that you find the experience...educational,” the voice replied, sounding a little more excited and cheeky. Sunny didn’t like that one bit.

“Listen here, you fucking bimbo! You let me out right now, or I’ll…!”

“You’ll what?” the voice asked, clearly amused. “You’re powerless, bat pony. You might well find yourself lost in these woods for a very long time if you don’t play by my rules, and if you want to escape with everything intact, you might want to show a little more...decorum.”

Sunny let out a grumpy little squeak, stomping her foot irritably.

“Well come on, show yourself and I’ll show you just how fucking polite I can be!” she snarled.

“You still haven’t worked out how to be polite, have you?” the voice said with a sigh. “I will tell you what; I will teach you about proper respect, first. I will light a path for you through the woods, and it will guide you out towards the gate back to Equestria. However, if you stray from it...you will be punished. Fair enough?”

Sunny folded her arms, raising her eyebrows at the rather suspicious deal. She flapped her wings absently as she took a careful look around for any sign of whoever was supposedly running the show here.

“Fine,” she said finally. “Can you please show me the way out of this fucking forest?”

“A little profane, but it’s a start,” the voice conceded.

As it died away, a gap between two trees lit up with multicoloured little sprites, marking the route away from the swamp and presumably off towards the exit. Sunny rolled her eyes, staring down the twisting pathway with just a little suspicion. Finally, after one last glance around her for good measure, the little batpony started down the path, away from what little sunlight crept through the canopy.

“Remember…” whispered the voice as it died away, “do not leave the path for any reason, or you will be punished…”

“Yeah, yeah, magic gobbledeegook bullshit. I get it,” Sunny muttered, picking up the pace down the multicoloured path and deeper into the woods.

* * *

Sunny followed the winding trail for a time, huffing and puffing as minutes crept into hours. She was unsure about just how much time had passed, since it had been so very long since she’d had a proper look at the sun up above through all of the tangled branches. It was beyond uncomfortable walking in a torn skirt and covered in mud like she was, and as she strode onwards she felt it crusting over, caked into her grey fur to turn it into something both humiliating and uncomfortable.

Great, Sunny thought to herself, Just great...this is the last thing I need...maybe there’ll be somewhere for me to clean off...don’t wanna look like a total wreck when I get out of here and beat that bitch’s ass…

Sure enough, as she passed by a nearby clearing, she spotted just the thing. Just a little off the path lay a gorgeous little pool, full of water that seemed to glow and illuminate the fresh green grass around it. It lay, bordered with smooth pebbles, with a little stream running into it and a column of alluring steam rising from it. A hot spring, perhaps? Certainly a serviceable bath. It looked deep enough to accommodate her.

“Finally…” she whispered, making to step off of the path towards the pool. She hesitated for just a moment, the voice’s words still resonating in her head for a moment or two, before she shook her head and stepped off of the path completely. “What the hell does that bitch know, anyway? Besides, it’s not like that pegasus’s deal worked out either, so how the fuck can I trust any of these assholes?”

With that nugget of surprisingly sound logic, Sunny stripped down and tested the water with a toe. It was certainly warm enough, sending happy shivers up Sunny’s back. She let out a pleased little chitter, slipping into the water and feeling its caress all across her body, over her sensitive pussy and her soft nipples. Her wings sank into the pool as well, submerging with her until only her head remained above water. It was gloriously warm in there, heating her whole body and leaving her feeling cleaner than she’d felt in a long time.

“Oh, I could get used to this…” she whispered to herself, closing her eyes halfway and wiggling happily.

For a while, she cleaned herself up and enjoyed the feeling of submersion, taking advantage of what was effectively her very own spa. However, when she’d finally finished, she looked around and spotted her clothes floating nearby. Not lying where she left them, but downright floating, as if there was an invisible Sunny wearing them.

“Uh oh…” she muttered. “Okay, bitch! You can let my clothes go now! I’m gonna need them if I wanna get out of this stupid fucking forest!”

“You still haven’t quite gotten it through your head, have you?” came the voice, as Sunny’s clothes strode around the pool and the naked little batpony. “You were asked to show respect and you didn’t do it! You went off the trail, even saying that I was bluffing! You think I’m bluffing now?”

“N...no...but you’d better give those things back! You have no idea how expensive they were!” Sunny snarled, trying to lift herself out of the hot spring. The warm water had turned her muscles to treacle, however, and she found her efforts to haul herself out to be nothing short of pathetic. Her nipples hardened as she exposed her body to the comparatively cold air little by little.

“Well, if you really want them that much...why don’t you come along and earn them back?” The voice said, as her clothes started walking back towards the path.

Sunny seethed, finally hauling herself out of the pool and staggering after them as quickly as she could. It was shocking to go from such a hot environment to such a comparatively cold one in so little time, but she didn’t have much opportunity to worry about that. Dripping and naked, the poor little batpony felt blasts of cold wind over her tits and her sensitive little pussy, all too aware that she’s butt naked in the middle of a forest that could have...well…anything lurking in it. Without anything to wear - at least until she catches those damn clothes - Sunny found herself panicked...and a little excited...by the idea of someone finding her like this. She was vulnerable, of course, but that was part of the appeal!

Still, this was a matter of principle, and Sunny wasn’t about to let that bitch get away with her trickery.

Sunny leaped after them, but whether by magic or clumsiness, her tail wrapped around her thighs completely unconsciously, sending her thudding to the ground with an angry squeak. She hurriedly reached down and untangled her tail, instead grabbing it and placing it over her butt to cover it up. It was all she could do to wrap her wings around her tits as well, keeping her hands cupped over her crotch, as well. It wasn’t as if anyone was really watching, but Sunny did it out of principle if nothing else. After all, she couldn’t help but feel a little turned on by the experience of running after her own clothes, the terror of someone potentially seeing her like this...and she’ll be damned if she lets whoever’s stolen them know that there’s a small part of her that likes this.

“COME BACK HERE, YOU…!” Sunny shrieked, making a dive after them, but unfortunately for her, she was only able to catch a single boot before landing face-first in the fallen leaves of the forest floor. She spat foliage as she wrestled with the boot, lifting it up and hurling it at the rest of her clothes.

Against all of the odds, it worked, and as she struck the back of her shirt, the whole collection of clothes collapsed into a big heap. Sunny scrambled to pick them up, managing to at least wrestle her boots onto her feet before she heard the snapping of a nearby twig.

Oh Luna, what the hell is that… Sunny thought to herself, gathering up her clothes and holding them close to her chest. There wasn’t enough time to put them on, just enough for her to carry them with her and use them as a way to cover her pussy and her tits, at least going some way to retaining her decency. She crept behind a thick tree trunk, peeking around the corner to see what had made the noise.

Several large stallions walked by, following the multicoloured path the very same way that Sunny had been travelling just minutes before. She held her clothes a little closer to her chest, realising that this would be a very compromising position for them to find her in. Her cheeks went bright red at the thought of it, biting her lip and mentally sizing up those great big muscular stallions, but she nevertheless crept further behind the tree trunk. Timidly, she started to get dressed, pulling her thong on first, followed by her bra. At the very least, lacy as they were, it’d be the bare minimum she’d need to cover up if anything else turned up that was going to force her to run. Finally, she slipped her shirt on and managed to wrestle her skirt back into a half-decent position, though the side of her thigh was still on full display.

Finally satisfied, Sunny made to head out from behind the tree, the stallions having finally disappeared down the path. When she tried to move, she felt a certain resistance, and looked back at herself to find that her skirt had been caught on another branch. This time, however, it was the waistband itself, as if she had purposefully put it on around her hips and the branch at the same time.

“What the fu…?” Sunny whispered, but she didn’t get an opportunity to finish. A soft white hand wrapped around her mouth, followed by a familiar, cheeky-looking white pony face.

“Hi, Sunny,” whispered the pegasus. “I’m Sky, and I’m here to teach you about keeping quiet.”
