Prologue

Tonight at Canterlot was the night of celebration, for it was night of the Summer Sun Celebration. Many moons had passed since the defeat of Nightmare Moon and the return of Princess Luna, since then Princess Celestia has made it a grand celebration at the royal palace to celebrate the return of Princess Luna. In the time that has passed Princess Cadence was married to Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle took her place as the Princess of Friendship and she saved an alternate universe twice, where it was like her world in Equestria only everypony wasn't well a pony. Time sure does fly by when you have six friends and you live in Ponyville, but things were not all as they should in all worlds, and soon Equestria was going to feel the imbalance. For the girls were about to find out what other worlds were there outside of Equestria, one world in particular was going to soon need their help, as well as a very special pony.

The night was filled with music and laughter and conversation and even dancing, Twilight and her friends had planned the perfect celebration. As the night wore on, Twilight had greeted and talked to more ponies than she could count, Pinkie Pie was having fun with Spike playing games and even some of the other Canterlot ponies were getting in on the games; Rarity was showing off her new dress she had spent almost a month working on, which was only half as long as it took her to design it, Applejack as always made the best food for the celebration and had more of it coming out of the kitchens, Fluttershy was of course in the garden with all the critters, and Rainbow Dash was with the Wonderbolts. Tonight was going to be the best night ever for the girls. Even Princess Luna was having fun with Pinkie Pie and all the games.

Yes, indeed, this was turning out to be a wonderful celebration. Unfortunately, in would not stay that way, there was someone there that shouldn't be. And no pony knew they were there, not even Princess Celestia.

Twilight worked her way to the large wall of windows that exposed the garden and made her way out the door to the garden. She took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief that for once they have had a very calm past year. Although a lot has happened, it has been very calm compared to everything else that has happened. She just closed her eyes and could feel all tension just letting go, for this had been the best night ever.

"This...is...the...Best...Party...EVER!" Pinkie Pie squealed as she bounced over to Twilight, breaking the silence. As always she greeted Pinkie Pie with a smile and even giggled at the amount of streamers and confetti that was in Pinkie's mane.

"Why yes, Pinkie Pie this has been the best Summer Sun Celebration in a long time." And that was for sure, not only had nothing gone wrong all night, but the last Summer Sun Celebration that Twilight had attended Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had been taken.

"Hoo wee! This has been the best night ever, but I'm bushed from all the hustlin' and a bustlin' it took just to put this together. I'll be glad to be gettin' on home to Ponyville in the mornin'." Applejack came out practically dragging her hooves, she did look beat, but happy.

"My, my, my what ARE you girls doing out here where there is, eh, dirt and you could ruin your gowns?" Of course Rarity was worried about their gowns. As always she did do a fabulous job on their gowns, she outdid herself once again.

"Aw now, Rarity, don't start in with all your hoity toity phooey. The night is almost over and it ain't like we're gonna go a' mud wrestlin' in these confounded things." Applejack just had to give Rarity a jab over her cleanliness and need for perfection.

"Well, Applejack, unlike you some of us actually appreciate being clean." Rarity tossed her mane and turned her chin up. All Twilight could do is roll her eyes and giggle along with Pinkie Pie.

"Not all of us are-" right then Rainbow Dash dropped out of the sky in between Rarity and Applejack, just in the nick of time too.

"You guys this has been the best night EVER! It has been so AWESOME to be with the Wonderbolts all night! This is even better than the Grand Galloping Gala!" she was practically squealing with joy. She looked at Rarity and then Applejack, "Are you two at it again? Can't you guys just give it a rest for one night?" She rolled her eyes at the two of them.

"Well if Rarity wasn't bein' so darn fussy about everything," Applejack poked a hoof at Rarity, smiled and chuckled. This made Rarity smile too.

"Not all ponies like to get messy, now do they?" she smiled back at Applejack, then they all broke out into laughter. Their laughter drew the attention of Princess Celestia. They were still laughing as the Princess walked out onto the garden where they were all clustered together.

"My, my something must be entertaining out here." she smiled at the girls as they stepped away from each other and their laughter died down.

"We were just laughing at each other." Twilight explained as the rest of the girls nodded in agreement.

"Where is sweet Fluttershy?" Princess Celestia asked as she looked around the group. They all looked around and noticed that she hadn't joined them, although she was probably out here in the garden with all the critters. Rainbow Dash flew up to get a better look at the garden and spotted her in a small clearing, but she wasn't just with critters. She was with Discord.

"Well I found her, but she is with I think an uninvited guest. Who invited Discord?"

"I invited him and he has proven himself over the past year." Princess Celestia stated, even though she didn't quite sound happy about him being there. Although Discord was reformed they didn't really trust him, except Fluttershy. "Well girls, I leave you to your conversation. I am so glad to see that this has been the greatest night ever." She smiled at each of them before returning to the ballroom.

"Ya know, I understand that she believes he is all on the good side now, but the last time we trusted him he turned against us and join with Lord Tirek and tricked everypony, helping him steal magic." Rainbow Dash snorted with obvious distaste for Discord.

"I agree, but he has been reformed and has proven it as well," Twilight sighed. She had mixed feelings about Discord; her head screamed to stay away and to not trust him, but her heart said to trust him and give him a chance. It was a difficult situation considering everything that has happened between them and Discord. She tried to stay positive about it, especially for Fluttershy since it wasn't fair to make her choose between them and Discord. If Fluttershy could trust him and believed in him, then they should be able to as well. She shook her head and put those thoughts aside for the time.

"Are you sure we can trust him, Darling? After his past, uh, boo-boos?" Rarity chimed in after a slight pause.

"I'm not sure, but we do need to show that we have forgiven him for his past mistakes. I know Fluttershy has and if she can, then we can too." She tried to sound confident.

"Ah dunno, Sugarcube, after all that he has done to Equestria and us for that matter ah just don't know if ah can trust him." Applejack looked worried as she kept looking in the direction of where Rainbow had seen Fluttershy. "And ah most definitely do not like the idea of Fluttershy being friends with him, it-it just don't seem right nor safe." She looked like that at any given moment she was going to bolt into the garden and rescue Fluttershy.

"I don't normally say this, but I agree with Applejack, how can we know for sure that he has truly reformed?" Rarity agreed, the girls were obviously concerned. Not only for Fluttershy's safety, but all of Equestria.

"If Princess Celestia believes he has reformed, then so do I. I agree that it will be difficult to trust him, but we need to. He has trust in us, especially Fluttershy, we should do the same." Twilight stood firmly by what she said, "Now let's go back in and finish the rest of the evening in peace and try to have fun too." She smiled at the girls before returning to the party. As the night waned on the girls continued to celebrate and they soon forgot their thoughts on Discord. They didn't notice that things started to change and something was wrong.

Twilight was talking with one of the high society ponies of Canterlot when she started to slur her speech, things started getting fuzzy and there were even moments of her blacking out. She started hiccupping and everything started moving on its own. She looked around and noticed it was happening to other ponies, even Princess Celestia and Luna were acting different. She had to find her friends and figure out what was going on. As she stumbled through the crowd, bumping to other ponies and tripping over her own feet, she spotted Pinkie Pie and what she saw was a shock all on its own.

Pinkie Pie was dancing on the table that had a statue on it, she was using one of the legs of the statue as if it were a pole. There were several other ponies standing around her, but instead of them trying to get her to come down they were encouraging her. Several of them were shouting and catcalling, even starting to throw bits on the table as she began teasing them by lifting the skirt of her gown. Twilight couldn't believe her eyes, she had to find the other girls and she had to find them fast!

She was almost to the other side of the room from where she started when she tripped and fell past other ponies. She hit the floor pretty hard, she struggled to get up as her legs were not cooperating with her at all. Once on her feet she looked up to find Rarity in the corner her gown was torn on one side and on the front it was covered in punch. She was crying and her mascara was running leaving black stained tear trails on her face as she approached her she could see there were a few of the punch cups littering the floor around her.

"Ra-Rar-Rarity, wh-wh-whatsh *hiccup* wong?" Twilight tried to keep her speak as smooth as possible, but it wasn't working.

"H-H-He wo-wo-won't *hiccup* w-w-wo-wove me-ee-e-e-ee! Wh-wh-why! Tw-twi-twiwight ww-wh-why w-wo-won't *hiccup* h-h-he w-wo-wove m-m-me-ee-e-e-ee!" Rarity was wailing so hard it was almost impossible to understand her. Twilight wondered what was going on with everypony, she was getting scared. She walked over to Rarity and helped her to her feet and used her own gown to dry her tears.

"W-we n-n-n-need t-t-to f-fi-find the o-others. So-some-something ish w-wr-wrong." Twilight snorted in frustration at her inability to speak correctly. Her vision was getting worse and so was her coordination. The girls clung to each other as they stumbled through the crowd and searched for Applejack and Rainbow Dash, Twilight hoped that they were unaffected by what was going on. That hope shattered when they found them.

"YEE-HAW!" Bringing the hoof she had in the air down hard on Applejack's flank. This only made her snort and buck even harder to get rid of Rainbow Dash. Twilight left Rarity at the edge of the crowd that had formed a circle around the two crazed ponies and charged as best as she could without tripping over her hooves again. Applejack paused right before Twilight crashed into them and with a loud crash they landed in a tangled mess against a table.

Pinkie Pie bounced off the table she had been dancing on and jumped on top of them and was screaming, "PONY PILE!" When Twilight gained her hooves and crawled out of the pile and stood, she groaned has her stomach started churning and her vision started getting black spots in it again. Her legs wobbled as she struggled to stay on her hooves and not crumble to the floor. Applejack came stumbling up next to her and threw a hoof over her shoulder, she was under the same influences as the rest of them.

"Aw now *hiccup* S-s-sugarcube," she paused to let out a girlish giggle, "We was just havin' a li-li-little fun, h-h-honest." She giggled again and then let out a very loud belch. "Hoo-wee that there punch *hiccup* is some mighty good stuff."

That was it, it was the punch! Twilight raised her head trying to find to Hors d'oeuvres table where the punch was, only to find her head started to swim and everything got really blurry. She stumbled trying to get out from under Applejack's leg and her legs wobbled and she collapsed in a heap. She could barely hear the faint voices of her friends as they tried to talk to her before she slipped into oblivion.

When she awoke she was in a dark room, she couldn't tell if it was her room at the castle or if she was even still in Canterlot for that matter. So much of last night was a blur when she tried to think about it. Her head started pounding like someone was pounding on a huge drum. She groaned as she tried to gain her bearings, she tried to get her legs under her only to discover she had a heavy iron collar. It was so heavy she could barely lift her head off of the floor, the chain that was connected to the collar started to rattle making her head pound even harder. She let out a groan and placed a hoof to her temple trying to rub the pain away. She focused on her horn trying to bring some light so she could finally see where she was at.

Her horn began to glow a soft glow, even then she still had to squint her eyes because it was almost too much to bear. As she looked around she could see she was in a very long cage that had a solid door on one end and bars on all the other sides. She looked around to see if she was alone and found that she wasn't alone, but that all of her friends were in here with her including Spike, Celestia and Luna. They all were in collars with chains and the ones with wings had straps around their midsections to hold their wings down, next to her was Rarity.

"R-r-rarity," she could only let out a very hoarse whisper. She stretched her hoof out nudged the unicorn, trying to rouse her from her comatose like state. Rarity groaned as she shifted her weight around before trying to open her eyes, which made her groan even more.

"W-w-wh-what h-happened?" She turned to Twilight and the unicorn looked so rough. Her mascara looked like she had been crying and had caked and stained her coat, her mane was a heaped mess. The more Twilight looked at her she realized she wasn't wearing her gown anymore and neither were any of the others. Amazingly enough Celestia, Luna and herself still had their crowns, but had been stripped of nearly everything else. Spike began to stir at the sounds of Rarity's voice. He was between Twilight and Rarity and was curled up next to Rarity, he too wore a collar and chain.

"Nnff, uh Twilight why are you reading again at night?" He snuggled closer to Rarity in search of warmth, when he grabbed her leg his eyes suddenly popped open, "Uh Rarity why are you in my bed?" Before she could answer he looked over at Twilight and seen her collar. He jumped up only to trip over his own chain, "What's going on? What's with the collar?" Rarity grabbed him before he could start running around in panic.

"Hush now, Spike, its okay and we are going to figure this out." Twilight tried to assure him, her voice didn't sound very convincing though.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling it isn't going to be good." She coughed and tried to clear her throat, it felt like she had been gargling sand. More groans erupted throughout the cage as the other ponies began to stir. The only ones that weren't stirring were Celestia and Luna, they were still comatose-like.

"Golly, what in tarnation happened last night? Ah feel like ah have been kicked in the head by Big Mac," Applejack groaned as she tried to raise up, "What the hay!? Where in Equestria did this collar come from?" She snorted in frustration, before groaning again.

"W-wh-where are we?" Rainbow shifted around and stood up, groaning the whole way. When she tried to stretch she discovered that her wings were strapped down and that she also was wearing an iron collar. "And why are my wings tied down? What is going on here?" Rainbow Dash gained volume as she began to panic, she chain clanging loudly as she struggled to free herself. Applejack and Twilight tried to reach for her to calm her down before she attracted any unwanted attention. Rarity rose to her hooves and got as close as she could to Rainbow Dash and when the scared Pegasus moved closer to her, she swung her hoof out and smacked Rainbow on the cheek. The Pegasus came to a standstill and froze just staring at Rarity in shock and disbelief.

"Why does everypony gotta be so loud?" Pinkie Pie groaned as she rolled over to search for the source of all the noise. Her eyes snapped open in shock as she seen that her friends were wearing collars and chains, although Fluttershy did have her wings strapped down. "What's going on? Why are we in a cage?" She started to tremble with fear. There was a sudden coughing and groaning coming from the end of the cage that had the solid door.

Applejack was closest to the noise so she moved closer to see who else was trapped in the cage with them. When she came back into the ring of light that Twilight had created they were relieved and shocked to see who was over there.

"It's Fluttershy and Discord." Her voice spoke a thousand words when she said Discords name. Twilight just shook her head, at least they know he wasn't behind this.

"How did you guys wind up in here?" Twilight asked.

"Well Discord and I were just having a wonderful time in the garden when these-these things jumped down out of the trees and landed on top of me and Discord," she shuttered at the thought of what had happened last night, "Discord tried to fight back, but one of the creatures had a hold of me with its claws at my throat ready, ready to-" she shuttered again and couldn't finish.

"They were going to rip her throat out if I didn't submit quietly to them, when I agreed to their conditions they bound me and then pressed a cloth to my face and then poof lights out. That's when I woke up here." Discord sounded angry and frustrated, but when he looks at Fluttershy he had a content look in his eyes which showed he was happy that she wasn't hurt.

"When Discord passed out, they did the same to me and held the cloth to my face covering my nose and mouth until I passed out." she shuttered again as she remembered what happened.

"What did these creatures look like?" Twilight asked, she had to find out what they were up against.

"I don't know what they were, Twilight, I have never seen creatures like these before. Their faces looked animal like, almost like a wolf, with ears and sharp teeth, but they walked upright on two legs and they wore shirts and pants as well, mostly black. They smelled dangerous whatever they were." The way she described them, they remaindered her of her friends back at Canterlot High, but the wolf-like features was completely stranger to her.

"I've never heard of anything like that before," she though silently for a moment, "If only Celestia and Luna were awake maybe they could help us."

"They also got Celestia and Luna!" Discord exclaimed in disbelief. Twilight pointed her horn to the other end of the cage where Celestia and Luna still lay.

"Twilight, um, do you know anything about what happened last night?" Fluttershy asked quietly, she looked up at Discord for support, but he was still in shock.

"Unfortunately I don't know, Fluttershy, most of last night was a blur," she focused intently on trying to remember anything about last night and that's when she remember what Applejack had said about the punch, "That's it!" she exclaimed with excitement they all looked at her in confusion, "It was the punch, someone tampered with the punch. It effected everypony at the celebration," she suddenly gasped, "The celebration! The setting of the moon and the rising of the sun! All of Equestria is going to be in total chaos without Celestia and Luna to change the moon and the sun!" Everyone gasped at the sudden realization of what was going to happen without the Princess'.

"What about Princess Cadence? Could she take over in place of Celestia and Luna? I don't remember seeing her at the celebration," Rarity made a good point, Cadence wasn't there at the celebration.

"She will have to, just like when Celestia and Luna were taken and the Tree of Harmony was in danger. I had to step up and take their places till we could free them." Twilight made an excellent point. Even without Celestia, Luna and herself Cadence could still take their places on the throne and rule Equestria for the time being until they could escape and return. "I just hope her and Shining Armor will be safe while we are gone." Twilight hung her head down and sighed, she was scared and was worried, not only for her sister-in-law and brother but for her friends and the world as she has known.

BANG!

The noise of metal being smacked hard against stone suddenly echoed throughout their dungeon, everyone suddenly jumped and Fluttershy squealed quite loudly and ducked behind Discord. Twilight tried to find the source of the noise but it was hard to find it with its mass echo. There was a scraping sound, echo just like the bang, it was getting closer. Twilight tried to make her light brighter, but she just didn't have the strength. It was as if all of her magic had been sucked away, she felt so vulnerable. Fear began to spread through her, she could hear the whimpers from her friends as they began to feel the fear. Even Discord shifted around the caged, keeping Fluttershy close to him, Fluttershy looked ready to bolt at the first chance she could get.

BANG!

Another metal noise echoed throughout the dungeon, it was getting closer. The scraping noise was getting louder, Twilight could hear heavy panting and something wet dripping onto the stone floor. Fear ran through her like a shiver from the cold. Whatever lay beyond in the darkness wasn't a friend. The scraping stopped, just short of Twilight's ring of light, the panting was loud. There was a low growl the permeated their surroundings, this being shifted back and forth as if trying to decide whether to step into the light or not. And then, it stopped.

"My, my, my, what have we caught in my web tonight?" The voice was silky and low, with an unusual accent. Definitely not from Canterlot or any other known region that Twilight was familiar with. Right before her eyes a being stepped into the light with the grace of a dancer, his mane didn't even move as he stepped closer to the cage. He looked different from any stallion she had ever seen. His eyes glowed a dark blue, like that of a deep lake, the color actually shifted like water. His coat was slick almost like silk, even finer than Rarity's coat, he was jet black although as he moved the color shifted into various colors of dark blue. His mane was long, almost as long as Celestia's, it was held back with a velvet ribbon. He wore a brooch that hung right above his breast, at the base of his neck, it held a collar together that looked to be made of white gold chain and the finest of silk or maybe it was satin. He was big too, bigger than Shining Armor even, his legs were stout and clean with no feathers around his feet. His hindquarters were sleek, but toned like an athlete or a knight even. He was a very handsome stallion to look upon, but when he spoke it was like ice. Even with the arrogance in it, it was still a cold and cruel voice.

"My, my not only have I caught the Elements of Harmony, but the celestial sister and the demon of chaos. This has been a magnificent night, hasn't it?" His gaze scanned the caged, capturing each face and gazing into the eyes briefly. "Did you like my elixir that I had slipped to all of you? That took some time to procure, but it was well worth the time and hassle to get it and it did lead to marvelous results. Wouldn't you say so my dear?" He reached a hoof in and stroked Twilight's face, it felt cold as ice. She gasped and leapt away from him, this was no pony of the likes she had ever met before. "Why you are quite correct, my dear. I am not a pony, in fact I am something far worse that your friend over there." He gestured towards Discord. Spike jumped up and tried to lunge at him, to no avail with the iron collar hanging from his neck. He stumbled and skidded to a stop on his belly.

"Y-y-you leave h-her a-alone! Yo-you hear m-me?" He shook his fist up the monster, he snarled and even growl at him. This only made him laugh, Twilight gasped at the sound of it, she had heard it before. It was a beautiful laugh, yet haunting at the same time, it flowed gracefully from him like a gentle bubbling brook.

"Wait, I know you! I've met you before, at Sugar Cube Corner," she paused when she seen the almost surprised look on his face, "You were there right after it had closed with a woman, she had black hair with red streaks in it. I remember your laugh!" Twilight said in a matter of fact voice, she pointed a hoof at him as if she was going to say ah-ha, "How did you get here? To Equestria?"

"My you are quite the little observer aren't you? Why I was there," he paused brief and then lunged forward, "hunting!" he bared his fangs that were dripping with saliva, his blue eyes had changed to red and a low growl emitted from deep within his throat. Twilight flung herself backwards away from him, she hit the bars on the other side of the cage. The others had done the same, Discord and turned away and shielded Fluttershy from the monster. Spike jumped away and clung to Twilight's leg, burying his face in her fur. He laughed once again at their fear, when he turned to look at them again the fangs were gone and his eyes were back to their original blue color. "Now, now ladies don't be afraid, I would never harm you." He turned to walk away and then he paused, he tilted his head to look back at them, "At least not now." With that he laughed again and that's when Celestia and Luna began to stir. He sneered as he watched them struggle to shake the effects of his elixir, "Well, well, well, looks like the celestial sister have finally decided to join us in the land of the living."

Celestia and Luna groaned as they felt the same throbbing in their skulls as the rest of them did when they awoke. They struggled and strained under the weight of the iron collars as they stood. Celestia gasped as she took in the sight of their situation and seen their captor, Luna looked as though she had begun to pale as she looked around. Their horns began to spark and glow as they tried to use their magic, but just like Twilight it was a futile attempt. They didn't have the strength to use magic for much for than to make a small and simple glowing light.

"I demand to know who you are." Celestia raised her head to a regal position and even with the collar and chains, she still looked like the regal and strong princess that she was. Luna tried to follow her sister, but she was shaking with fear.

"Well my dear, you will learn who I am soon enough, but first it's time for your dinner," he smirked as he stomped his hoof loudly in the floor making two loud rings. They heard a door open somewhere beyond the ring of light and it frightened them, but what stepped into the light only frightened them more. Even Celestia quaked at the sight of this monster. It was huge with massive arms that were as big a round as some of the biggest trees on Sweet Apple Acres, maybe even bigger. Muscles rippled underneath its tough hide, it held a large crate and the noises that came out of the crate only made their stomachs churn with disgust and fear. The creature was so tall it had to stoop to walk through the dungeon, the spines that ran down its back scrapped the ceiling and its horns scraped even harder. It made the sound that nails did on a chalk board. All the ponies flinched at the sound, even the celestial sister flinched and everyone had pressed themselves against the backside of their cage. Twilight continued to observe this large creature, it had the lower half of the body like that of a pony. The top half of the body was covered in a black fur, other than the horns that protruded from its head and the spines down it's back that were in a perfect row like that of a dragon. Twilight could only assume that this creature was something like a Minotaur.

It set the crate down in front of the cage and lifted the lid off, the creature that crawled out was even worse than the creature that carried the crate. It had a dozen tentacles that covered the entire body, in fact it was just a huge mass of squirming tentacles. They were green and looked slimy even, Twilight heard Rarity let out a scream before she went slack and fainted. That seemed to only excite the tentacles even more. Discord was the first that they choose, the minotaur-like creature opened the door at the end and grabbed him before he could back away. Fluttershy screamed and clung to Discord as if to protect him, the creature tried to pry her off, but she wouldn't let go of Discord so it took her with him. Discord wrapped his arms around her and tried to shield her from the mass of tentacles, when they reached for him was when he let go of her. She screamed again and fought to keep hold of him, that's when they grabbed her as well. Rainbow Dash slammed against the front of the cage and snorted in anger, so did Applejack and even Pinkie Pie was fighting against their collars. Twilight pulled at her restrains as well, they had to help Fluttershy. Celestia threw her head around trying to shake off her restrains, only Luna could see what the tentacles were doing.

"Luna! Why aren't you fighting?!" Twilight screamed at her, when she didn't respond was when Twilight turned to see what she could possibly be staring at and what she seen was astounding, she froze in place as she watched.

The tentacles were forcing feeding Discord and Fluttershy.

All of the ponies had frozen in place as the watched the scene play out. There was a tentacle wrapped around each of their legs and two around their midsection. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. They both had a tentacle down their throats and was pumping something into their stomachs. It finished with Fluttershy first and when it was done her stomach was so distended that she looked to be with foal. When the tentacles were finally finished with Discord, he too had a stomach bulge from being filled up by the tentacles. He had a collar placed around his neck and so was Fluttershy, they both had their wings bound as well, before being placed back in the cage.

Twilight stood in complete shock as she watched each of her friends one by one taken to the tentacles. Twilight was frozen in fear as she watched, she couldn’t look away as the tentacles continued to pump something her friends. She couldn’t even fight against her restraints.

Soon it was her turn, she tried to scramble as far as her chains would allow her to the back of the cage. Two large tentacles reached into the cage and wrapped around her middle, one of them unhooked her chains and restrains. They gently lifted her out and then suspended her in the air. Before she knew it many others joined in and began to coil around her limbs and body. A sense of warmth seeped from the tentacles into her body. They massaged her fur and even preened her wings, she hadn’t noticed the gentle care it had taken with the others. One of the tentacles reached up and wiped away the tears that had escaped, it acted as though this creature actually cared about them. ‘I guess you are as much a prisoner as we are?’ she mentally asked the question. The creature responded by tapping her nose gently before making a nodding motion in front of her nose, it was so brief she barely noticed it. What little fear she had towards the beast left as the realization hit her, this thing was being held captive as the rest of them. It didn’t want to do this, it was being forced. She hung her head in defeat thinking that this was it, they couldn’t defeat him.

‘Is he forcing you to do this to us?’ she asked mentally, this creature could actually understand her telepathically. The tentacle creature responded with another brief nod by the small tentacle that was caressing her cheek. Anger began to boil as she her mind began to whirl at what he had done to this creature, at what he has done to others and what he could possibly do to them. How could someone be so sick? ‘He will hurt you if you don’t do this, won’t he?’ It nodded again, almost pathetically because the small tentacle was barely hanging in front of her nose. She tilted her head and looked down to see chains in the crate, these looked different than the ones she and her friends wore, but chains nonetheless. There was marks from where this poor creature had been tormented with magic and left to care for its wounds, many scars and even fresh wounds. She even seen some of the tentacles looked as though they had been cut off, leaving short stumps behind. She looked back at the tentacle before her nose, she caught the glimpse of a clear liquid running down it like tears almost. She wondered silently if this creature could cry. ‘Okay, but please be gentle.’ It nodded again and prodding at her lips, she hesitantly opened her mouth and closed her eyes as tears began to burn again.

It gently slid past her lips and to the back of her throat, it waited to allow Twilight time to get accustomed to having something this large in her mouth. After a few minutes passed it began to push further against the back of her throat, she started to gag and if there was anything in her stomach she would’ve vomited. She tried to force the tentacle back out, but another tentacle had slipped behind her head to keep her still. She tried to scream passed to it, but it was muffled.

“I demand that you release her! On the command of the Solar Sisters and the kingdom of Equestria I command it!” Princess Celestia’s voice rang out from the cage. Twilight tried to blink away her tears so she could see her, but more tears built up and flowed freely. She could hear the black stallion’s laughter fill the dungeon as he laughed at Celestia.

“Why yes, Princess I shall bow down to you, you will is my command,” He said in a mocking tone before laughing even harder, “My sweet princess, you have no command over me nor will I comply. If you think I am cruel, you have yet to see cruelty.”
“Stay strong Twilight, I am sorry I couldn’t protect you this time,” her voice was soft and sad, it cracked as her mentor was forced to watch Twilight and the others go through this torture.

Twilight felt a tentacle caress her cheek and wipe away her tears, another began to massage around her wings and caress her sides as if to say sorry. There was a soft whimpering sound from below Twilight, this creature could make noise like an animal. She tried to calm herself, but her fear was turning into terror as her instincts screamed out to fight against this. She hadn’t realized that the tentacle in her mouth had pulled out some. The calm time was short lived though as the stallion lashed at the creature with magic.

“Get on with it!” He commanded, his voice was cold and cruel. The creature cried out in pain and its body shook in pain. Twilight tried to yell at the stallion, but the tentacle in her mouth kept her saying anything.

The tentacle began to push into her mouth again, this time Twilight complied with it in order to save the poor creature from anymore torture. They were all unable to fight against the stallion no matter how hard they tried. She started to gag again as she swallowed more and more of the tentacle. Soon her maw began to burn as it stretched further than it had ever stretched before. The tentacle began to excrete a sweet liquid to help coat it making it easier as it slid further down her throat. It finally stopped pushing and began pumping, she could feel the warm liquid filling her stomach. It felt like the time she tried the warm mulled cider that Applejack and Big Mac had made one winter for Hearth’s Warming Eve. Her jaw was moving in sequence with the bulges that came through the tentacle and soon her stomach felt full. She tried to move her head trying to tell the creature she could take no more, ‘Please, stop, I’m too full!’, she hoped the creature could hear her like it could before. The tentacle began to slide out before the creature was hit was another burst of magic.

“Don’t you dare stop now! She is not distended, so your job isn’t finished! She has to be so full she will last till morning when we can send them to the Prince.” His cruel voice rang out once more.

Twilight felt bad for getting the creature hurt again, ‘I am so sorry,’ she wished she could help the creature. It pushed the tentacle back to where it was before and began pumping more into her stomach. Soon it felt as though her stomach would burst from being so full, she could feel her abdomen gravitating towards the floor. She hoped it would finish soon as tears began to flow once more. She could feel tentacles at her back again as they massaged her once more, she tried to wrap her wings around her midsection and could feel how much her stomach had distended. To her surprise it hadn’t distended as much as she thought it had, it felt firm and full yet not very large. She knew the creature couldn’t stop until her stomach had distended so much that she look like she was heavy with foal. She knew it shouldn’t be possible and yet it had happened to her friends already, whatever was being forced into them was going to keep them weak.

It felt as if it was never going to end as the creature poured more into her stomach, her mind was getting weak as was the rest of her body. She kept her wings wrapped around herself to remind herself of how much longer she was going to have to endure this. She kept drifting off as if she had been given a potion to make her sleep.

She wanted nothing more than to fight this, it wasn’t as if either party was wanting this to happen. With their magic suppressed all they could do was comply with this stallion’s demands and let the creature do its job otherwise they would all be punished. Twilight tried to struggle against her restraints, but it was a vain attempt. Her mind was foggy, she couldn’t form a thought and soon her vision clouded before going black.

She jerked as she came to as her collar and binding had returned, even though she should've been struggling her body just wasn't working. Her stomach felt as though it would explode, the bindings that held her wings were pressing on her extended belly. Everything began to go out of focus, she could hear what sounded like Rarity and Spike struggling and fighting against the tentacle creature. She tried to lift her head, but it felt like it weighed a ton. Before long she slipped back into the darkness.
