"Competition is always a good thing."
Nancy Pearcey

"Fummh yoomh! I mmph kimmph yoomh apphm!" echoed through the prison cell in which Rainbow Dash struggled. The muffled screams of the blue pegasus were accompanied by the sounds of her squirms, as she was tirelessly trying to escape her bindings.

The brave pony had almost managed to hold her own against six of Sombra's soldiers in the battle at the mountain pass. While she was dragged into the prison cell, she regained consciousness and gave her captors the brawl of their lives. Determined not to be placed in bondage, Rainbow Dash put up one hell of a fight, despite being tired and bruised from the previous tussle with the crystal ponies. It took all six of the king's slaves tasked with bringing the captured mares to the prison working together just to be able to overpower the rainbow-maned pony. Since Sombra had ordered them not to harm the prisoners even more, they couldn't just beat Rainbow Dash into submission, as they avoided her kicks, swings and even bites.

To prevent Rainbow Dash from causing more damage or escaping, her crystal armor was stripped off and she was placed in an extra tight and uncomfortable gear: a full latex suit was forcefully put on her entire body, restraining the mare's movement while also molding perfectly tight to her young athletic figure, accentuating every single alluring feminine curve and giving the pegasus and embarrassing camel toe. Her majestic wings were covered in leather restraints, preventing her from flapping them in any way. She was suspended from the ceiling of the cell upside down, metal cuffs keeping the ankles of her hind legs firmly tied to the roof. Her front legs were tied behind her back with heavy rope, which dug deep into Rainbow Dash's skin, and would dig even deeper the more the mare would struggle. Since even after she had been firmly restrained, the mare would not stop spitting and swearing, the annoyed soldiers gagged her. Having initially ripped the flimsy plastic gag inserted into her mouth in two, Rainbow Dash was now forced to wear a thicker, more uncomfortable metal gag.

Despite her predicament, the blue pegasus was not willing to give up, even for a second. Summoning strength seemingly from out of nowhere, she kept struggling against the bindings, trying desperately to get any of them off. The latex suit which firmly grasped her body was making her sweat rivers of perspiration and the leather wraps made her wings useless.

The entire afternoon Rainbow Dash kept resisting, not shedding a single tear, ignoring the pain which gripped her entire body, worsened by the many restraints keeping her in place. Numerous muffled yells of frustration could be heard throughout the prison.

Suddenly, she could see the door of her dimly light cell being opened and King Sombra trotting in, an evil grin still present on his face. The stallion expected to see his captive tremble before him, he expected her to freeze in fear, but the reaction of the blue pegasus was contradictory to his assumptions.

Rainbow stared at the king with such hatred, her eyes burning with anger as her struggles intensified exponentially, hoping not only to break her bindings, but also Sombra's face once she escaped. Even her muffled curses now seemed more personal.

Not planning on being intimated, the king approached the suspended mare and taunted her mockingly, "Perhaps I should have ordered my slaves to teach you some manners, seeing as you went down so easily and yet are acting so tough now!"

He then positioned himself directly in front of the mere, their eyes meeting, and proceeded to analyze her body. Sombra was enjoying what his servants had done. The now wet latex served very well to give the prisoner an impressive degree of sex-appeal, since the outline of her well-toned muscles and feminine parts pierced through the black suit.

Seeing the king directly in front of her, Rainbow Dash decided to stop struggling and fixated her sights upon him for a few seconds. Intrigued by this turn of events, hoping the mare had finally come to her senses, Sombra lit up his horn and used telekinesis to take the metal gag off the pegasus, wishing to hear her plead.

Noticing her mouth was now free, Rainbow Dash decided to put it to good use. A thick lob of spit was cast right between the king's eyes, as the mare proceeded to clearly express her feelings on the matter in a calm and polite fashion. "Fuck you! Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you! I will rip your head off, you tyrannical piece of shit! Where's Twilight? If you touched one hair on her mane, I will knock all your teeth out and make you swallow them afterwards. Just wait till I get out of here and tear your whole empire to shreds, piece by piece."

Sombra was irritated, as he whipped the loogie of his face, but he also felt a strong dose of amusement. His captive's defiance was a refreshing change for the monarch, so used to seeing all ponies tremble before him. Desiring to have some fun, he decided to postpone the use of physical or magical force a bit longer, as he continued addressing the pegasus, "Big threats for such a little mare."

Grinding her teeth in rage, Rainbow Dash burst out, "Little … why don't you untie me and we will see how 'little' I am. I will smash your stupid face, just like I almost did in the pass where your slaves had to jump in to save you … you scaredy-cat! Show's how dumb you are … how small your brain must be …"

"Not as small as your breasts!" responded the king in a visually ostentatious manner, while looking up at the outline of the mare's bosom, punctuated by the latex suit.

The expression on Rainbow Dash's face shifted, only for a split second, to a frown. Despite having a vigorous young body, with magnificent wings and a colorful mane a lot of females envied, Rainbow had not been blessed with an impressive rack, fact she herself noticed several times when looking in the mirror. Some mean stallions from her past had often asked her how much she paid for the 'cutting board'. In day to day life, she wasn't bothered by this at all, having learned to get over it and instead accentuate the other physical gifts nature had given her, but hearing this insult from Sombra took her by surprise … a rather painful surprise.

Immediately regaining her composure, the pegasus replied, "Oh, wow! I haven't heard that one since middle school. How pathetic can you be? Your subjects must be ashamed to have such a low-life for their king," after which she spat at towards the stallion again.

Sombra enjoyed that answer extensively and took deep satisfaction in discovering his captive's weak point. She was as arrogant as him, and very vindictive, but her iron will could be used against her. Dodging the spit, the king charged his horn and blasted Rainbow Dash with a jolt of dark lightning, enjoying seeing her squirm and ache. He then continued to taunt his prey, "Such disgusting language for mare. Didn't your parents ever teach you any manners? I have seen yaks with more class than you. With an attitude like that, could they even tell you were a mare in school?"

Upon hearing that, Rainbow Dash's face lit up with a merciless smile, as she thought of the perfect come-back for her tormentor. "Not as fast as they could tell YOU were one … oh Queen Sombra! Did you let your mane grow so long because your colt-friend likes it? I noticed that when you walk, you keep your hind legs a bit spread. Now I know why. You are commenting about my breasts, I bet no pony can even SEE that you have something between your legs." The mare then carefully looked at the king's face and was filled with joy to notice his eyes twitch in anger, evidently no longer amused by her increasingly offensive antics.

Trying to keep his composure, the king retorted, "Would you like to find out for yourself?"

As if expecting that answer, Rainbow Dash immediately replied, "Oh I'm sure those would be the worst ten seconds of my life." The pegasus was on a hot streak, her insults annoying the living hell out of the monarch. Even her expression was arrogant and cocky, with a mutinous smile and a look of contempt.

Tired of her defiance, the stallion channeled an energy bolt and threatened the blue pony, "Oh, I assure you, I know how to make mare scream." After that, he fried it at Rainbow Dash.

Flows of electric current surged through the mare's body, making every single muscle she had constrict and ache even harder. In spite of the pain she was feeling, Rainbow Dash realized how much her insults flustered the monarch, fact which greatly lifted her spirits. Her will was unbent.

Not wanting to give any satisfaction to her tormentor, the mare didn't utter a peep, not even so much a single 'ouch'. She suffered silently. Once the shock had passed, the pegasus took a few seconds to recover. After opening her eyes, Rainbow looked directly at the king and, with a mocking tone, said, "Maybe in your wet dreams. You could not make me scream if your life depended on it."

Normally Sombra knew better than to accept such challenges from his captives. The king was renowned for his cunning and tenacity, but he was also arrogant and prone to anger. Never in recent years had any pony defined him so openly, insulted him so bluntly to his face. His pride was too great to allow such a remark to go unpunished, so he decided to make breaking the mare his main objective.

The stallion used his shadow magic to make his irises burn red with demonic power and stared into Rainbow Dash's eyes, trying to torment the mare with agonizing illusions. He showed her Equestria burning, her friends being killed by his soldiers, little fillies being chased out of their homes and thrown into dungeons, but the pegasus was unimpressed. Rainbow had been subjected to mind games before, and always came out on top. She knew of the king's dark magic, and possessing the stubborn mind which she did, it was easy for the pegasus to keep reminding herself it was all an illusion, as Sombra tried to shatter her will.

Noticing the ineffectiveness of mental torture, the black unicorn decided to change tactics, as he addressed the unruly captive. "Well then, if I am not entertaining you enough here, I shall take you to a more interesting place, where I will make you scream … and scream … and scream."

With that, he used his sorcery to create magical black vines which wrapped around Rainbow Dash, restraining her already tied-up body even more. The monarch then utilized telekinesis to undo the chains holding the mare to the ceiling and started dragging her on the floor, out of the prison cell and towards the torture chamber.

The pegasus struggled like crazy, hoping she could set herself free, but the magical vines were even harder to budge than the previous restraints, and she found herself unable to even slow down Sombra. "Let me go you … you royal piece of crap. Untie me and I will make YOU scream," threatened Rainbow.

The struggles and threats of the blue pony could be heard all across the prison level, as the king continued his journey to the torture chamber, forcefully carrying the mare along. Suddenly, the symphony of protests was interrupted by the sounds of another mare screaming, accompanied by kicking noises. Struck by curiosity, the king decided to go investigate, hoping to find an interesting or amusing sight.

Approaching the source of the disturbance, Sombra and Rainbow Dash were greeted by the sight of a crystal pony flying around the corridor, his face severely bruised, and another three ponies holding Applejack down, trying to chain her up. The orange mare's armor had been torn off and her body showed a few signs of struggle, but no new bruises other than the ones the king's soldiers gave her in the mountain pass.

Seeing her friend in that predicament brought both a smile and worried glance to the blue pegasus's face. Applejack was alright after all, at least so it appeared … and Rainbow Dash was loving the pounding she was giving her captors, but hated the idea of seeing her friend in chains. "Don't you goons dare touch her!" she threatened, pointlessly struggling against the magical bindings keeping her motionless on the floor.

Not entertained by the sight of one of his prisoners defying his guards, the king spoke up, "What is the meaning of this? I ordered you to have the captives secured! Why isn't this one in her cell?"

As they lifted Applejack off the floor, all her legs having been chained, the soldier shivered with fear, scared to say anything to the visibly upset king. "Because you can't keep a member of the Apple family tied down," protested Applejack and then tried to kick away the ponies keeping her restrained, only to have them block her hits.

One of the more novice guards decided to step forward and address the king, "Well, my lord … we did tie the prisoner up with ropes in her cell, but she escaped. We then caught her and decided to use chains instead …"

Before the young crystal pony could finish his sentence, Sombra began taking slow steps towards him, as all of the other guards took many steps back, looking with terror and pity at their colleague. They knew what was about to come, but were secretly thankful for his inexperience, since no pony in the Crystal Empire would have wanted to be in his horse-shoes right now.

Approaching his subject, the king spoke in an uncharacteristically calm manner, "Am I to understand that my prison guards don't know how to properly restrain or subdue a mare? I always thought I did a pretty good job leading by example in that regard."

Not wanting to behave in an inappropriate way for a soldier, the young crystal pony stood at attention and replied to the king, "We didn't expect the earth pony to free herself from the ropes so easily. We were unprepared …"

Not allowing the guard to utter another word, the black unicorn interrupted, "Unprepared? I know how to fix that. You two, take our little unprepared pony to the Pit of Despair and throw him in the Shroud of Agony," as he pointed to two of the jailers near Applejack.

Although their hearts sank, knowing full well what their actions would entail, the two guards feared the king too much. With extreme haste they obeyed their master, grabbing their young comrade from both sides and proceeding to drag him away.

With a puzzled yet horrified look on his face, the crystal pony cried out, "My lord, please don't! We were told not to harm her in any way. We could have subdued her in other conditions. Please, forgive me!" His pleas fell on deaf ears, as he tried to struggle and escape the grip of his former colleagues, only for them to grab on even harder and start hitting him, while they continued hauling the pony to his grim fate.

The last remaining guard, who was holding Applejack down, approached the king. "For how long should we leave him there, my master?"

With a sadistic smile on his visage, the king coldly replied, "I just said throw him in the Shroud of Agony. Did I say anything about taking him out?"

Trembling in fear, the guard responded dismissively, not having the guts to look Sombra in the eyes, "No my lord. Understood. I will take the earth pony back to her cell and make sure she cannot move a muscle."

Upon hearing that and after having seen the horrific and demeaning way in which the black unicorn treated his servants, the orange mare burst out in rage, "You gush-darn no good side-winding low-life! How dare you treat your own damn subjects in such a way? You ain't no king … you're just a spineless snake with a crown on his thick empty head!" while the blue pegasus threatened, "You sadistic bastard! Just wait till I get out of this flimsy vines and make you eat the floor."

Instead of being upset, the king seemed intrigued by what was happening before him. The two mares both seemed so wild, so untamable, so fierce. As they continued shouting threats and struggling, the king noticed the prisoners were acting as if they were in a competition, each one of them coming up with more creative insults every moment and yelling them out in an increasingly louder voice. Even their struggles were intensifying by the second, the prison guard barely able to hold on to the earth pony, despite the heavy chains around her ankles.

Feeling a pleasant twitch between his legs, dark and perverse thoughts started flying through the black unicorn's mind, as he licked his lips with a wicked satisfaction. Knowing that either of the two mares could know the location of the Crystal Heart and seeing this as a good opportunity to save time, the king spoke up, his deep dark voice booming through the corridor in a way similar to the Canterlot voice, but much more sinister, "Silence! Both of you need to taught a lesson in manners. Fortunately, I am willing to be your personal tutor … your VERY personal tutor."

With that he blasted Applejack with a powerful bolt of abyssal magic form his horn. As the pony fell trembling to the ground, black vines, similar to the ones Rainbow Dash was bound in, appeared from thin air and wrapped themselves all over the orange mare's young body.

Noticing that Rainbow Dash was about to protest and not willing to put up with it, the king used his sorcery to summon two more vines, which wrapped around the mouths of the two captives, turning their screams into silent muffles. Looking at the guard still standing before him, the king commanded, "I will take these two to the torture chamber for personal integration. Prepare their cells and make sure that when the mares are returned to them, they will never escape again … or the Shroud of Agony will be overcrowded tonight."

The jailer immediately saluted and, with a speed only extreme fear could grant, trotted away to fulfill his monarch's wish. Taking one more glance and the pegasus and earth pony who were struggling on the floor, Sombra felt another pleasant twitch between his legs. He then proceeded towards the torture chamber, dragging the two prisoners along.

A huge black door with six thick locks opened slowly, revealing a tenebrous room. As torches inside magically lit up with an ominous crimson flame, the contents of the torture chamber was divulged to the two mares, who could not help but twinge a little as they saw what awaited them. The room was adorned with numerous nightmarish contraptions, visibly designed to cause extreme discomfort to any pony unfortunate enough to be subjected to their treatment. Not surprisingly, most of them seemed to be created out of dark crystals, undoubtedly additions King Sombra made after he took power.

Upon entering the place, the black unicorn took a deep breath and a vicious yet nostalgic look appeared on his face, as he remembered the many stallions and mares who had been subjected to the torture chamber over the years and the sadistic pleasure he felt while personally interrogating them. Looking back at his captives, the monarch sported a mischievous grin, as the earth pony and the pegasus increased their struggling.

Sombra gazed around the room for several minutes, trying to decide which one of the 'toys' to use on his prisoners. He did not want to ruin their 'aesthetic value' before having the pleasure to taste their feminine flower, but also needed to be brutal enough to extract the location of the Crystal Heart from the very stubborn mares. In the end, he decided to start with an old classic.

The king dragged the two ponies towards a spot where four small black crystals were lined up the floor while other four hanged from the ceiling. He used his magic to lift Applejack into the air and proceeded to remove the chain around her feet. With his dark vines still preventing the orange mare from moving too much, he levitated her and placed her hind legs on two of the crystals on the ground. As if alive, they began to grow, crawling against her ankles and hind legs, binding them in place. Applejack wanted to protest, but all that came out were muffled yells. Sombra then dispelled all the vines around the earth pony, except for the one wrapped around her mouth, and used telekinesis to forcefully lift her front legs in the air. Two of four crystals on the ceiling started growing and wrapped themselves around the hoves of the mare, almost like a carnivorous jungle plant trying to engulf its prey. Applejack's body now resembled a giant X, her hind legs kept tightly in place, and her forelegs spread apart and stretched high above her head, all of them restrained by dark crystals. She tried to struggle, hoping to set herself free, but the material didn't even chip.

Enjoying the sight of the captive orange mare, Sombra then looked towards his other prisoner, who stared back at him with hatred and disgust. Knowing how tough the blue pegasus could be, the king threaded carefully and decided to start by blasting her with a dose of dark energy, causing her to shiver in pain as her muscles began involuntarily clenching. Taking advantage of the few seconds in which the mare was stunned, Sombra used his shadow magic to tear the latex suit off Rainbow Dash and remove her wing straps. The pegasus's athletic body, wet and sweaty from all the struggling, and her majestic wings were now revealed, and it was a sight which made Sombra's blood rush to a certain part in his lower body. The black stallion used telekinesis to force the blue mare in the same position as Applejack was. Afterwards, just like with the earth pony, the monarch dispelled all of the vines except the one keeping Rainbow Dash's mouth shut.

King Sombra took a few minutes to enjoy the image of his two prisoners bound before him. Their legs, spread to the limit, exposed their lady parts in a delightful manner, as their breasts bounced back and forth due to their insistent struggles. Both mares had very well-toned and sexy leg muscles, attained either through athletic training or farm work, complemented by the extremely seductive curves of their lean bodies. Rainbow Dash's wings fluttered wildly, making her seem like a captive angel, but ultimately served no purpose in helping her escape, as the black crystals keeping their legs in place seemed indestructible. A delectable symphony of 'mmphs' and other similar sounds delighted the king's ear, as he gently began stroking his penis, knowing he was going to enjoy the interrogation session to a great extent.

Wanting to tease himself no longer, Sombra decided it was time to begin. He went to a nearby table, packed with insidious torture instruments, and picked up an all-to-familiar object: a long black whip. Positioning himself a few feet in front of the mares, he looked them straight in the eyes and cracked the lash in midair, as a perverse sneer appeared on his face. Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at him with extreme contempt, trying to mask the fear they felt when they heard the sound of the whip. None of them liked the fact that their bodies were so vulnerable before the tyrant. Taking a few more minutes to carefully look at their hips, breast and pussies, the king spoke up, "Ladies … let the fun begin," as he dispelled the last dark vines keeping his two prisoners silent.

The moment she found her snout free, Rainbow Dash swallowed deeply and spat towards the king, her loogie landing a few inches from his hoof, as both she and Applejack gave the stallion a piece of their minds. "I hope you have a nice view, because I in a few seconds I will smash these crystals and gouge your eyes out," said the pegasus, while the earth pony added, "You yellow-bellied rattle-snake, release us at once."

Growing tired of such outbursts, the king lifted the lash and, demonstrating great experience in handling it, struck each of the mares on their left thigh, leaving a hurtful red mark on their soft skin. None of the two mares screamed, they just hissed and clenched their teeth as they waited for the sharp pain to pass.

"Your future king should be treated with respect!" ordered the stallion, as he decided to complete the symmetry by whipping the two ponies on their right thighs, even more brutally then before. Again, only silent groans were uttered by the captives.

"Now then, my little ponies … tell me where the Crystal Heart is, and the pain will end!" proclaimed the unicorn, hoping the profound discomfort would eventually coerce the two into divulging what he wanted to know.

Applejack immediately began to protest, shouting at the king, "You two-bit torturer, do you really think we'd ever tell a low-life like you anything?" while Rainbow dash decided to mock her captor, "Oh, I know where it is. It's up your ass Sombra. Let me put my hoof up there and get it. I will shove it so far up that I will knock the teeth out of your stupid mouth!"

Upon hearing that, Sombra frowned with anger and lifted the whip. "Very well ... if you will not talk, you will scream," threatened the king, as he delivered painful lashes to the mares' hind legs, upper chests and above their breasts. With a will seemingly made of steel, the two ponies refused to even react anymore, looking the black unicorn straight in the eye without even flinching, as the painful whip touched their bodies.

Sombra was growing weary of his captives' resistance, yet he also could not help but feel intrigued and aroused by their resilience. The monarch had made even hefty battle-tested stallions cry out in pain in the torture chamber and now he was being challenged by a young earth pony and pegasus. He was unwilling to let that happen … and yet, the black unicorn could not help but notice the competitive nature of the two ponies. He observed that each mare gave the other a silent stare after every blow. The tyrant initially thought this was out of the concern they had for each other, but was begging to think there was more there than met the eye, a hidden rivalry the two friends shared. He decided to take advantage of this.

"It seems I have my work cut out for me! Since neither of you are willing to scream, I suggest we make this more … interesting. I promise not to proceed to the more … personal part of your torture, until one of you two yells. Whoever does so first loses. Do you accept my proposition?"

Applejack looked a bit puzzled, as she responded to the king, "What do you mean by personal?"

Amused by the naivety of his captive, the king made use of the whip yet again and proceeded to hit both mares just above their pussies, leaving a small mark in their tender flesh. The perverse grin which followed was a clear indicator of the king's insidious intentions.

Rainbow Dash fidgeted a bit, as she addressed the stallion with hatred, "You wouldn't' dare!" while Applejack protested, not able to believe what she just witnessed, "Hey … You can't possibility do that!"

Smirking sadistically, the king retorted, "I can and I will. Of course I will have to earn it first. So, do we have a deal? First one to scream loses. Oh, and if you simply yell out in protest or just shout at me, that will still count as a scream."

The two mares kept silent, forcing themselves not to respond in any way. They hated the stallion's proposition, but realized they didn't have much of a choice. The dark crystals keeping their legs bound would not budge an inch, so as far as they were concerned, their only chance was to keep quiet long enough to drive Sombra out of his mind. Knowing how arrogant the monarch could be, it was evident he would not want to lose at his own game, so as long as they didn't scream they felt safe.

"Give me your best shot. You will be old and grey long before you even make me flinch," said Rainbow Dash, with a boastful yet threatening tone, while Applejack just smiled at what her friend said and held her head up high.

*Crack*, *crack* the whip flung in the air and hit hips of the two mares, who twitched a bit, not uttering a single peep, unwilling to give their tormentor any satisfaction. *Crack*, *crack* again echoed through the torture chamber as the lash hit the ponies on their chests.

Not having achieved success, King Sombra then decided to shift his focus towards his captive's more interesting parts. Looking at Applejack's bosom, the stallion paused a bit to decide which of the jugs he would strike, then gave a firm lash over the earth pony's right nipple. A lot more disturbed by the indecency of the act rather than the pain, Applejack nearly yelled in repugnance, but managed to abstain herself and just let out a light peep, as she began shaking her abdomen to relieve the pain, much to the delight of the black unicorn.

Excited by the sight of Applejack's breasts bouncing up and down, the king set his sights on the less impressive rack which the blue pegasus donned and aimed for her left nipple. As the whip struck, a glare of rage was all the response Sombra received. Hoping to further torment the mare with taunts, the stallion proceeded to mock her, "I can hardly believe I managed to hit such a small target."

Ready to lash out at the unicorn, Rainbow Dash looked towards Applejack, out of reflex more than willingly, and could not help but notice the orange pony was slightly blushing, evidently uneasy about the remark Sombra had made. Not wanting to risk 'losing' the game, and with a profound feeling of revulsion brewing in her guts, Rainbow Dash decided to calmly taunt the king back, "I would hit you in your cock if I could, but my aim isn't as good as yours when it comes to hitting little things."

Snickering, the king proceeded to rapidly hit the mares over their breasts four more times, leaving red X marks on their bosoms. A small tear dropped from Applejack's left eye, while Rainbow Dash bit her tongue, neither mare expressing their discomfort any louder than mere hushed hisses.

Sombra could not help admire the determination both of his captive's had. He was having lots of fun trying to break their wills, so much so that he had almost forgotten about the Crystal Heart. He had his sights set on another prize … the sweet sound of his prisoners' cries is what he desired. Licking his lips after taking time to admire the marks he had left on the mare's tits, the stallion said sadistically, "Such competitive spirit!" as he moved behind the mares.

Sombra gently rubbed the right side of Rainbow Dash's flank and the left side of Applejack's with his hoof, preparing to punish them some more. *Crack*, *crack* sounded the whip, as it hit the butts of the prisoners, making them wiggle alluringly. *Crack*, *crack* as it struck the other 'cheeks'. The blows were getting harder and harder, and the mares could certainly feel that. Barely able to hold their screams in, they let out silent grunts as they swung their tails, pointlessly trying to cover their bottoms. *Crack*, *crack* came two subsequent lashes, this time Sombra making sure to hit both buttocks simultaneously for both mares. The sight of the blemished posteriors provocatively shaking from the whippings made the tyrant's penis grow hard.

As more tears flowed from both Applejack and Rainbow Dash's eyes and hit the floor, the king spoke up, "You know, this pain can end. Just tell me where the heart is and I will let you both go!"

Despite their trembling legs, aching flanks and bruised breast, the two mares were far from broken, neither being even close to betraying Equestira. Not wanting to be outshined by Rainbow Dash, Applejack quickly thought of a witty retort for their captor, "We hid it up yer butt. Just ask yer soldiers to get it, they should be used to it from all the brownnosin' they do!" Upon hearing the insult, Rainbow Dash let out a loud laughter, hoping it would infuriate the king even more.

Despite Sombra's arrogance, he was determined to let the whole thing play out exactly as he wanted; he would not let himself be affected by such meager provocations. Using his sorcery, he imbued the whip with shadow energy, prepared to strike the two prisoners again.

"It seems our little game has succeeded in making you laugh … but it's now time to scream," proclaimed the stallion, as he extended the whip so that it hit Applejack right between the legs, stretching all the way to her tender marehood. Since it had been imbued with dark magic, the whip let out a powerful shock as it touched the mare's sensitive areas. It was so potent that it echoed through her entire body, causing the earth pony to have have spasms due to the excruciating pain and let out a semi-silent cry of agony. Rainbow Dash was then subjected to the same experience. The lash was so agonizing it made her drop simultaneous tears from each eye, as she forcefully bit her tongue, trying desperately not to scream.

Taking great pleasure as he knew he was close to his objective, Sombra prepared to hit them again, but then paused since an even more mischievous thought crossed his mind. Putting the whip down, he went to face the two mares, who tried to hide their tears and look tough, not wanting to give the tyrant any more satisfaction.

The stallion looked upon the now bruised pussies of the two ponies, gently rubbing his hooves in a circular motion around them, perversely sniffing the mares' flowers. "I think a change of tactics is needed," said the king, as he went back to the table filled with torture instruments. He came back with two small, black, phallic-shaped crystals.

Upon seeing them, the prisoners cringed. Rainbow Dash protested, "Have we won Sombra? You could not make us scream so you are breaking the rules of your own game? You said you would not touch us there until one of us gave in!"

Playfully shaking his head, the black unicorn retorted, "No, no, no, my dear, I am not giving up ... and I am keeping my promise. I just said that 'I' would not get personal with you, I didn't say anything about these." With that, the king lit up his red horn and blasted the two small crystals, making them grow a bit in size.

Not at all comfortable with what was she thought was about to happen, assuming from the shape of the crystals what their purpose was, Applejack tried to close her legs, to protect her pussy, but the dark crystals keeping them bound to the floor didn't allow it. Feeling scared, she objected, "Hold on there, you can't do … aaaargh!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Sombra shoved one of the dildos up her vagina and did the same to Rainbow Dash with the other crystal. Not a single drop of blood fell out, indicating both the pegasus and earth pony had had some visitors down there before. As the two mares started shaking their hips as hard as they could, trying to make the phalluses fall out of their vaginas, they noticed a familiar tingly feeling, as the objects began to vibrate, sending pleasant shocks across their pussies. Their body temperatures began to rise and their nipples began to harden.

Noticing this, the king started gently rubbing their breasts, as the two mares tried to pull away from the stallion, only to be held in place by the restraints around their legs. With sweat starting to fall from her brow, Rainbow Dash spoke up, "You think these will make us scream. They aren't big enough to even tickle me."

Looking his captive straight in the eye with a wicked glee, the king replied, "Patience …"

A bit puzzled by the king's response, Applejack tried to ignore the sensation she was feeling in her snatch, when she suddenly realized what Sombra meant. The crystal dildo started getting bigger and increasing in vibration speed, causing the mare's legs to begin shaking, as she could barely contain the burning feeling in her flower. "Aww boy …" was all the orange pony said, hoping to release some of the tension. She did not want to admit it, but she was quite a loud partner during intercourse and liked to let her mate know how good she felt; but she could not do that now; no matter how intense it felt, no matter how hard she wished she could do it, she could not scream.

For Rainbow Dash it was a slightly different sensation. Her vagina was clearly enjoying the feeling, but the pegasus felt violated, abused and she could use that rage to her advantage. Although her body was enjoying it, her mind hated every second and this helped her keep quiet, only letting out slight grunts.

As the dildos slowly kept getting larger and vibrating faster, Sombra began to notice juices flowing out of his captive's pussies. He took a break from fondling their breasts and lowered his hooves to their wet openings, taking a bit of the liquid and licking it with a wicked delight. Seeing how the mares' faces had switched from defiant and angry to sweating and worried, the king decided it was time to move on. "I think we are ready for phase two," said the stallion, as he walked back to the table and retrieved four more crystals. These ones were smaller, purple colored and had the shapes of small pinchers, looking almost like tiny clothespins. As he approached the prisoners, he waved the new toys in front of them, teasing them a bit.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash could imagine what they would be used for, and none of them was too happy about it. Both mares had masturbated before, when they could not find a suitable partner for a while, and they both enjoyed stimulating their breast to achieve climax. The vibrators in their vaginas were already giving them a hard time, so the two ponies knew that the effort to remain silent was about to increase.

"Anyone willing to share the location of the heart and save yourself the humiliation of losing?" asked the king, while he started groping Rainbow Dash's breasts. Both mares would have protested, but the effort of not climaxing or screaming was all they were concentrating on at the moment.

Hoping they would not give in yet, Sombra put the four crystals on the rock-hard nipples of the mares and afterwards zapped them with a slight jolt of his magic. The pinchers then began to vibrate, sending pleasant shocks in the earth pony's and pegasus's bosoms, increasing the pleasure which flowed through their sexy bodies. The black unicorn's penis began growing erect, as he noticed the twinging sweaty bodies of his two captives; on their way to an orgasm, their pussies were already emitting pheromones, which only helped to increase Sombra's sexual desire.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash were starting to panic, as their soft hisses now turned to moans of pleasure, although still not loud enough to count as screams.

Not willing to wait too long, the monarch decided to go for the coup-de-grace. Opening a secret drawer under the table, he took out a small box and brought it in front of the two mares, who gazed upon it with visible fear. Sombra opened it and took out two small pink crystals and fixated his glance on the two mares' most intimate parts.

Not a big fan of surprises, Applejack found the strength to speak up, "Stop … what are you gonna do with those do-hookies?"

Without looking away from the pussies, the king responded, "Let's just say … these go in a very special place." With that he used his hooves to gently lift the top of Applejack's vulva, revealing her clitoris.

Trying to pull back as much as she could, Applejack protested, "Hold on there … don't you dare touch that," but ultimately to no avail, as the king used telekinesis to attach one of the small crystals to her clit.

After that, Sombra warned, "Don't move my dear earth pony. If I miss I might damage your flower."

Knowing full well what he meant, and not willing to go that far as to risk her pussy being fried, Applejack stood as still as her shaking legs and hips allowed her, while the king channeled a small jolt of energy in his horn and very carefully aimed at the pink crystal. Once hit, it began stimulating the orange mare's clitoris, gently sending vibrations through it. This caused it to grow, bringing the earth pony to the brink of orgasm.

He then turned his attention to Rainbow Dash, who was visibly disturbed by her impending fate. As the stallion lifted the skin from the top of her pussy and gently touched her clit, the blue pegasus let out a passionate moan, as a generous portion of her lady juices spilled on the floor. Amused that his captive was beginning to blush, the king commented, "My, my, you are enjoying this, aren't you? I see you like getting touched here!"

In a moment of uncensored rage, brought on by her predicament, Rainbow Dash burst out, "By gracious mares, not slimy stallions such as you!"

The entire room went silent for a moment, as the jaws of all three ponies dropped.

Applejack could not believe what she had heard. Was she hallucinating because of how long she denied herself an orgasm? Had she heard right: was Rainbow Dash a lesbian?

The blue pegasus was equally puzzled herself. She was hoping that her sexual preference would remain a secret, at least until she was ready to come out to her friends. She had made love with stallions but didn't enjoy it too much; but once she tried it with mares, especially with a particular pink pegasus she had had a crush on at some point, she knew exactly what she wanted. The rainbow-maned pony enjoyed the delicate touch of another mare, the honest passion which the two could share, the smell of a girl and of course, the scissoring and other ways in which only a fellow female could bring her to orgasm; and boy did she enjoy those orgasms; true to her boastful personality, when made to climax, Rainbow Dash would scream like no other; her partner would often remind the blue pony to keep it down, less all of Cloudsdale would know their kinky secret.

Now she had revealed that secret to one of her best friends and to her tormentor. Red with embarrassment from what had happened, she looked down, as tears starting flowing from her eyes. She was afraid of how Applejack would react, but also ashamed that she let her enemy know such a delicate detail about her.

The king felt his penis growing even more erect and wild fantasies began flowing through his mind, while he attached the pink crystal to Rainbow Dash's clit and activated it.

As her clitoris began being stimulated, Rainbow Dash felt her head spin. The sensation was intense, her erect nipples indicating how near the mare was to climaxing. However, much to her advantage, or disadvantage, depending on one's point of view, not having been with too many stallions, Rainbow Dash was not as used as Applejack to having big phalluses in her vagina, so the size of the crystal dildo was bothering her. She preferred the pleasure a mare's tongue would bring, rather than the hard throbbing member of a stallion, and the discomfort she currently felt was aiding her in her attempt not to cum. Determined not to be the one who lost the 'competition', mostly out of desire not to give Sombra what he wanted, she continued to moan and groan but did not scream.

The black unicorn was enjoying the site of the two prisoners struggling more than ever. Their bodies were in visible agony since both mares had denied themselves an orgasm for a long time.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash were sweating bullets, their vaginas were wet and dripping, as their breasts bounced up and down due to their struggles.

Sombra lit up his horn and blasted the crystals some more, increasing their intensity. He then looked at Rainbow Dash, whose eyes were rolling like an animal's in heat; her grunts were getting louder and louder, so the king leaned in, moving his head close to hers, hoping to finally hear the mare give in and scream. As the pegasus noticed the king getting closer and closer to her, she began moaning slowly, almost as if she had given up. When the stallion's mouth was one inch in front of hers, the blue pony leaned her head backwards and opened her mouth.

Realizing the mare had to climax soon, Sombra began sadistically licking his lips. Just as Rainbow Dash began shaking faster than ever, she opened her mouth wide, only to whisper in a very calm voice, "Sike!" and then quickly pushed her head forward, hitting the unicorn directly in the mouth and then proceeding to taunt him, "Oh … did that hurt? Why don't you go cry to your mommy!"

Applejack could not believe what she had seen. She too was very close to screaming, but seeing her friend's bravery gave her the strength to keep denying it. A part of her was worried about how the king was going to retaliate, but she could not help express her admiration for Rainbow Dash, "Yee-haw! Good one!"

Lifting his hoof and touching his upper lip, Sombra noticed small drops of blood falling. The stallion grinned ferociously, looking at Rainbow Dash with extreme anger. He huffed violently, as he let out a terrifying growl. "You will pay for that you insufferable bitch."

The unicorn then stormed for the table with the torture instruments, as the blue pegasus tried to keep her spirits up by continuing to insult the monarch, "I guess you were the first to scream. Ha ha ha!"

Sombra picked up a sharp metal forceps, after which he walked towards the prisoners and positioned himself directly behind Rainbow Dash, touching her wings. Although the mare began flapping them as hard as she could, it was soon clear that was not going to deter her captor in any way. The king had lost his patience. With burning hatred in his eyes, he grabbed one of her feathers and yelled, "Defiant cunt! You dare strike your king? I will teach you a new definition of pain," as he plucked it out painfully.

As shivers of pain surged through the blue pony's body, she felt mixture of pleasure and agony. On one hoof, she was delighted about what she had done; she had managed to humiliate her tormentor in his own castle and for her that was a huge personal victory; on the other hoof, the excruciating discomfort she had felt before had now been amplified by this new source of anguish, which made her bite down on her tongue in order to keep herself from yelling. As Sombra reached out and plucked off two more feathers, salty tears fell from the pegasus's eyes, as she silently shrieked.

Despite what Rainbow Dash was going through, Applejack was the one hurting the most. Even though her body was bruised, in spite of the dildo was driving her mad, the physical pain she was enduring was nothing compared to the grief she had in her heart. The earth pony had always secretly admired Rainbow Dash the most out of all her friends, although she often chose to act indicating otherwise. They had often competed, none of them wanting to be outshined by the other, but deep inside both ponies had tremendous respect for each other. Their constant competition had brought them very close and even though she would never admit in in public, Rainbow Dash had something Applejack secretly envied: her wings. Albeit pleased with being an earth pony, quite often the orange mare wished she could fly like her friend, soar through the air and do amazing feats such as sonic rainbooms. Seeing King Sombra mutilating her friend's wings was more than Applejack could stand. She knew Rainbow Dash was too stubborn for her own good, that no matter what she would have to endure, she would never give in, because if there was one thing the pegasus cared for the most, even more than her wings or her very life, it was her will and spirit. As the black stallion plucked off another feather, Applejack knew what she had to do to save her friend.

"Oooooo … yeah! Hoo-wee … yeah … yeah … yeah … YEEEEE-HAW!" echoed loudly throughout the entire room, as Applejack climaxed. Her screams of pleasure went on for another minute as she finally stopped denying herself the pleasure of release. Her sexy curves shook and wiggled as vaginal fluid poured out of her snatch and onto the floor. She panted loudly, moving her head rapidly to shake off the sweat.

Upon hearing that, King Sombra's eyes lit up with joy, as did another part of his body. He quickly put down the forceps he was using to mutilate Rainbow Dash's wings and ran in front of the orange mare, who was still huffing and puffing heavily. With a perverse joy, he proclaimed, "We have a winner," as removed all the vibrating crystals from Applejack's body. Looking at her moist flower, he lowered his head and give it several firm licks, slurping the ejaculant fluid like a savory desert.

Rainbow Dash seemed puzzled. She knew that Applejack was as tough a pony as they came, and could not understand how she just gave in like that. The pegasus look into the earth pony's eyes, who just winked back at her. Realizing what had happened, Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and let another tear fall. Looking back at her wings, she understood what Applejack was thinking, why her friend had done what she had done.

Torn inside, she was ready to scream, when she heard Applejack whisper, "Don't … please. You must be strong. Don't give him that satisfaction!" Sombra was too busy enjoying Applejack's secretions to pay attention. Giving her friend a smile back, Rainbow Dash grinned her teeth even harder, as she kept resisting the orgasm.

Finally lifting his head after having enjoyed his 'snack', the king looked provocatively at Applejack and asked calmly, "Will you tell me where the heart is or will I have to make our little interrogation to a more personal level?"

Looking back at her tormentor with her head held high, not wanting to betray any of the fear she felt, Applejack responded, "I don't know where the heart is. I never even touched it."

With a demented glee, Sombra retorted, "Personal it is then!" as he used his magic to retract the black crystals biding the orange mare's legs.

Finally free to move, the earth pony took a few clumsy steps, still aching from what she had been through, after which she sat down on the floor silently and looked towards the king, not wanting to anger him since she didn't wish anything to happen to her or Rainbow Dash.

"Rise up and move over there," the stallion commanded, as he pointed to a torture stool. An insidious device, it had a wooden body in the shape of a pyramid, sharpened at the top in order to agonize any pony unfortunately enough to sit on it, and was supported by four metal legs. Cuffs meant to restrain a prisoner's limbs were hanging down from all sides.

The sight of the contraption filled Applejack's heart with terror, as she gulped and started shaking, initially refusing to move.

"Now!" screamed the unicorn, at which point the earth pony rose up and began walking slowly towards the device, her captor following closely behind.

Once they reached the stool, Sombra ordered the mare to get on it belly-down, and then proceeded to lock her front legs in place, preventing her from struggling and giving him full access to her flank and pussy. He then playfully moved his hoof around her butt, after which he spanked it hard, making it wiggle and causing the farm pony to let out a cry of pain. The stallion then asked, "Once more chance … where is the Crystal Heart?"

Applejack knew exactly what was about to follow. She had the pleasure of being taken by several handsome stallions before and, although disgusted by the idea that she was about to be raped, the concern for her friend's safety was the only thing on the mare's mind. She had been through worse pain before and hoped that if she could tire Sombra out, then his focus would be diverted from Rainbow. Not willing to be intimidated, she calmly responded, "No idea!"

Seeing it as an invitation, the king smiled, as he rubbed his penis next to the mare's pussy. The stallion then leaned over the blonde mare and put his front hooves on her back, gently rubbing her thighs and hips, taking time to feel every inch of her frame. Applejack possessed a stunningly sexy body, but had a different appeal from Twilight Sparkle. Instead of graceful and delicate, she was lean and muscular, her strong legs standing firm, as a testament to the hard work she had done on the farm. Her flank was rounder and the red cutie mark she donned gave it an appetizing look. Starting to feel pain from his erection, Sombra proceeded to forcefully spread the mare's legs, causing her to let out a soft moan, after which he penetrated the mare, putting his whole length in her vagina with the first thrust.

As she felt the stallion's impressive penis entering her, a tear fell from Applejack's eye, while she grinned her teeth from the pain. Having just had the crystal dildo inside of her, the mare's womb was still aching and being fucked right now did not feel enjoyable at all. Sombra, however, was savoring the experience a lot. He viciously moved his hips back and forth, mercilessly fucking the earth pony, hitting her rump with his testicles with every push.

Disgusted by the sight, Rainbow Dash, still bound in place, protested, "Leave her alone you sick phycho," but her words were completely ignored by the king, who had his full attention focused on Applejack.

After a few more aggressive thrusts, the king lifted his hoof and started continually spanking Applejack's flank, as he kept on wildly pounding her while chanting, "Whose a sexy pony … you're a sexy pony … who is … you is!"

For Applejack, the entire experience was a living nightmare. The sharp tip of the wooden pyramid was digging into her chest, as the king's full weight rested upon her back. The metal cuffs keeping her front legs in place were digging into her skin, increasing her torment. Letting out cries of pain, the orange mare closed her eyes and tried to picture having sex with a handsome stallion, hoping to ease the discomfort.

As his erect cock kept going in and out of the earth pony's vagina, the king felt drops of pre-cum starting to fall. Wanting to prologue the pleasure, Sombra decided to take a break and pulled out, huffing to calm himself down. With sweat falling from his black mane, he looked at the earth pony and noticed her eyes were closed. Visibly upset by this, the stallion pulled on her blonde hair and yelled, "Who were you thinking of?"

As she struggled a bit to free-herself, Applejack responded dismissively, "No one."

Not satisfied with the answer, Sombra brutally slapped the mare over the face with his hoof, causing her to let out a snivel of anguish, as a tear fell from her left eye. The monarch then lit up his red horn and blasted Applejack with a jolt of abyssal lightning, shouting at her in rage. "Lying bitch! You dare insult me in such a way? Tell me where the heart is, or I will make you pay!"

Coughing to ease the tremendous pain that surged through her entire body, Applejack responded with a shaking voice, "I don't know. I never even saw it during the battle!"

Filled to the brim with fury, Sombra was foaming at the mouth. Determined to make his captive suffer, he undid the bindings around the earth pony's front legs and forcefully flipped her over, so that she was with her back pressed against the stool. The then brutally threw himself on top of her, placing his big cock between her legs. The king lowered his head so that his snout could touch the mare's, and with demonic rage glowing in his demented eyes threatened, "I will make you tell me!"

He then proceeded to rapidly piston the mare's vagina with his cock, aggressively slamming his body next to hers with every insertion. His hooves were placed over the earth pony's legs, keeping them from moving and painfully pressing them against the wooden frame of the stool. Hoping to somehow ease her agony, Applejack meagerly struggled against her captor, causing her breast to rub against his chiseled abdomen. As the orange mare wanted to shut her eyes again, she received another hard slap on her face, as the king shouted, "If you dare close your eyes, I will gouge them out!"

Applejack shivered with fear, as she kept her eyes open, being forced to stare in the mad king's red irises. He looked like a deranged monster. Sweat was falling from his forehead onto the earth pony's face, as he wildly plunged his member into her uterus. The mare was feeling no pleasure at all, mostly because Sombra was going to great efforts to make the intercourse as painful for her as possible. Even after having been stimulated by the vibrating crystals, Applejack could not bring herself to embrace the sexual act in any way, as she simply felt abused and violated.

"Where is the heart?" shouted the stallion again.

With an almost lifeless stare, the earth pony replied, "Don't you think I would have told you by now if I knew!"

King Sombra was not pleased at all with the answer. He would have liked to have keep on barbarically humping his victim, but stopped thrusting as he again felt pre-cum falling from his cock. He did not want to ejaculate before he had the change to also take Rainbow Dash. As he pulled out and got off the mare, he started charging up his horn, prepared to strike Applejack with another blast for her defiance. The orange mare noticed this, but was far too tired and hurt to react. She could barely stand, let alone try to dodge the incoming shot; she just closed her eyes, hoping her bruised body could somehow handle more pain.

Rainbow Dash witnessed the whole thing. The tidal-wave of pleasure in her body, brought on by the vibrating crystals still trying to force an orgasm out of her, was overshadowed by the rage that she felt, as she had been forced to notice her best friend being raped, powerless to stop the king. She still had not given in and, although denying herself release for that long was taking its toll, both physically and mentally, Rainbow Dash was determined not to surrender. "If you touch her again, I will tear your horn right off," threatened the mare.

Driven blind with rage by Applejack's defiance, and now upset even further by Rainbow Dash's comment, King Sombra turned around and released the blast at the pegasus instead of the earth pony. The shock was so strong that it shattered the dildo and the crystals clamps attached to the blue mare's breasts and clitoris, as it crossed through her body, generating incredible pain. However, demonstrating enormous willpower, Rainbow Dash managed to abstain herself and let out a semi-loud shriek, feeling relieved that the vibrating crystals were no longer tormenting her.

Trotting furiously towards the captive, the stallion lashed out, "I will personally rip your wings off feather by feather, then your mane hair by hair until you scream, you worthless revolting cunt!"

Too tried to even crack a smile, and far too hurt to struggle anymore, all Rainbow Dash could do was utter a faint "Looking forward to it," as she looked down, shivering from the shock that had just coursed through her body.

Applejack lifted her head, having recovered from the terrible ordeal, and got off the stool. She looked at her savior, Rainbow Dash, whose feathers were once again being plucked out by the angry tyrant. Despite her own turmoil, all the orange mare could think of right now was how to save her friend. She could not let Rainbow Dash lose her wings, but knew that the pegaus was so stubborn, she wouldn't scream no matter what. Although the experience of a rape had been horrifying, Applejack was strong and could get over it. Deep inside, she knew Rainbow Dash would also be strong enough to endure rape, but could not cope with losing her wings. Trying to save the pegasus from such a fate, Applejack tried to plead with her friend, "Just scream Rainbow Dash!"

Upon hearing that, Sombra's malevolent frown turned into a mischievous grin as he plucked out another feather. He realized he was close to breaking the blue mare, and was pleased that he had managed to apparently shatter her friend's spirit.

Still, Rainbow Dash refused. Grinning her teeth, not wanting to believe Applejack had just given up, she protested, "Never! Not in a million years."

Lowering her head, Applejack became more worried than ever. How could she save her friend? How could she stop that maniac from mutilating Rainbow Dash's wings? She so regretted encouraging her friend not to scream in the first place; AJ hoped she could tire the king out herself, but it seems that was not the case, and now Rainbow would have to face his wrath. Feeling frustrated, the orange mare rubbed her head as she tried to think of something to say or do.

Seeing her friend twinge from pain, the farm pony suddenly remember what Rainbow Dash accidentally confessed earlier. Pain would never make the pegasus give in and scream, but what about pleasure? Hoping her friend was as loud during orgasm as she was, Applejack decided to go for the one idea she had to save Rainbow's wings. She could not believe what she was about to do, but was determined to try anything imaginable.

"I can make 'er scream!" shouted Applejack, hoping to draw the king's attention.

In unison, Sombra and Rainbow Dash responded, "What?"

Gulping to give herself a bit of courage, Applejack began trotting forward slowly and seductively, hoping to look as sexy and attractive as possible. With a puzzled look in her eyes, the pegasus asked, "What are you doing?" unable to guess what her friend was thinking of.

"I can make 'er scream for you, King Sombra, if ya'll allow me," continued the earth pony.

Surprised to hear that yet aroused, the stallion approached the orange mare and inquired, "Finally decided to give in? But, I am curious, how are you planning to cause more pain that I did?"

With a seductive smile on her face, Applejack looked alluringly into the king's green eyes and responded in as sensual a voice as possible, "Oh no … I don't plan to cause pain. I plan to make 'er scream in the one way in which you can't … with pleasure."

Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped to the floor, as she began struggling against her restraints. Had she heard Applejack correctly? Was she dreaming? Could her friend mean what she thought she meant? No, impossible. Applejack was not a lesbian, Rainbow Dash was certain of that. Surely she had misunderstood what the earth pony had said.

King Sombra, on the contrary, was delighted by the prospect. Despite his desire to make the pegasus suffer, the prospect of two gorgeous young mares taking each other in front of him was extremely alluring to the stallion, so he decided to play along, "Just what do you have in mind?"

Applejack then begun walking slowly towards Rainbow Dash and elegantly moving in circles around her, hoping to arouse the king. "She said 'erself that she likes the company of mares, right. Well, I'm a mare, and I bet I can succeed in bringing her the pleasure your fancy crystals could not. All I ask in return, is that you forgive her and spare her the punishment."

The pegasus burst out in protest, "What? Don't you dare to that Applejack. Have you gone mad?" She could not believe what was happening before her. The very thought of doing it with another mare in front of Sombra, especially Applejack, repulsed her. She was not some attraction, some object to be used for the tyrant's amusement.

Still, the black unicorn had other plans and he was more than willing to enjoy the show, "I accept your proposition. If you manage to make your little pegasus friend scream, I will spare her wings," responded the king, as he sat down on the floor and began attentively watching the two mares, slowly stroking his dick.

Applejack then nodded politely and went in front of Rainbow Dash, shaking her curves in a very sexy manner while gently rubbing her hooves all over the blue mare's body, taking special care to focus on her breasts and tights.

She then went lower, touching the pegasus's pussy, much to Rainbow Dash's complaints, who kept struggling reluctantly, "Applejack, stop it! Do you really think this will work? Do you really think I was being serious when I said I liked mares? It was just a lie to get that creep to stop touching me. I like stallio … oooaaah."

Rainbow Dash's protests were interrupted by Applejack's soft tongue licking her wet flower, which sent shivers of pleasure all through her already aroused body and caused her to moan with joy. Her nipples had grown harder than ever and her tail was wiggling with excitement, as she looked down and saw her friend passionately pleasuring her pussy with her tongue. Despite her claim not to be enjoying the act, a wing-boner betrayed the blue mare's true feelings.

"Relax sugar-cube. I wanted to do this for a looooong time; and by the looks of ya' I see ya' wanted it even more," proclaimed Applejack in a provocative tone, as she stated moving her tongue circularly around the pegasus's clitoris while gently rubbing the hooves of her forelegs all over her friend's flank.

Rainbow Dash was both in heaven and hell. She was still shocked, unable to believe what was happening to her and felt humiliated because she knew Sombra was looking; and yet, at the same time, this was a dream come true for her. Ever since she found out how good it was to have sex with another mare, she had begun having fantasies about many females, including Spitfire, Daring Doo and, although she would never admit it to anyone, Applejack as well. More than a few times Rainbow Dash masturbated thinking of her friend, fantasizing about them making up after an intense argument by engaging in passionate love. She had daydreamed about being licked all over then dildo-fucked by the earth pony and now part of her fantasy was coming true. Still, not ready to fully give in, she tried to object some more, "Applejack stop. I am not enjoying … aah!"

Her false revolt was quickly quenched when Applejack stuck her tongue deep inside Rainbow Dash's pussy and began twirling it around, while gently moving her hooves all over the pegasus's hips. The orange mare then proceeded to shift her focus towards Rainbow's nipples, as she gently licked them while caressing her breasts. As the pegasus began dripping fluids from her genitalia due to the arousal, Applejack moved in closer and touched Rainbow Dash's vagina with her own; after the wet flowers made contact, the earth pony slowly began bending her knees up and down, making their 'lips' rub against each other, which sent shivers of pleasure down both their spines.

Drops of pre-cum began to flow from King Sombra's penis, as he found the scene ecstatic. The passion the two mares shared was the stuff many stallions fantasized about witnessing. The black unicorn had to stop rubbing his member and think of rather unpleasant images to keep himself from climaxing too soon.

After a few more minutes of scissoring, Applejack moved her snout close to Rainbow Dash's and passionately kissed her friend. The pegasus was already too excited to resist, so she just leaned in and accepted it, doing her best to fully enjoy the sensation. Their tongues passionately danced together, as each pony took the time to feel every single bit of their partner's mouth. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes, being on the brim of ecstasy as she savored every second of the French kiss she and the earth pony were sharing. Her body began trembling uncontrollably, as her legs fully softened up and her womb tingled. She was so close to a climax it was practically impossible for the mare to control her body anymore. Opening her eyes, she looked at Applejack, who appeared like a seductress before her, and asked, "AJ … why … why are you doing this? Did you want this?"

Upon hearing that, the orange mare lovingly smiled towards her friend and responded, "Darlin' … you know I would do anything for ya!" Caressing Rainbow Dash's body with her hooves, Applejack started gently rubbing her wings, hoping to ease the pain, as she continued talking, "I would never let anything happen to you. So, won't ya' please allow yourself to enjoy this?"

When she felt the earth pony's gentle touch on her wings, the pegasus knew exactly what was going on. A small tear was shed, as the blue mare was touched deeply by her friend's affection. She could feel the climax getting closer and closer, but was still denying herself release, hoping to defy the king for as long as she could.

Realizing the stubbornness of her friend, Applejack kissed her again and with a pleading tone asked, "Won't you please just do it Rainbow, for me? Do it for me ... please!"

A tremendous battle was going on inside Rainbow Dash's mind. Her psyche was being torn apart. On one hoof, she hated the idea of giving in, of screaming and giving the perverse tyrant satisfaction, but on the other hoof she knew Applejack had a point. If she continued resisting, Sombra would eventually destroy her wings and maybe worse. She wanted to keep resisting, but her friend's pleas were what drove her over the edge. Surrendering to what her body had been telling her for the past half hour, the pegasus allowed her juices to flow freely, as her whole body shook, and she let out a loud passionate scream which echoed throughout the castle, "Ooooooooh yeah! Yeah …. Fuck yeah!"

Hearing her friend finally succumb to the passion took a load of Applejack's heart. She hoped it would be over, that having achieved victory King Sombra would go easy on them. Also a bit excited from the act, she whipped her forehead to get rid of the drops of sweat and took deep breaths to cool down.

Rainbow Dash, however, was panting like crazy. Her entire body was shivering like the ground during an earthquake, as her pussy was still pulsating with excitement, not having fully settled after the orgasm. Starting deeply into the earth pony's eyes, she decided to thank her for the experience, "Wow … you did it in ten seconds flat!" as she smiled playfully.

Applejack wanted to reply, but before she could say a single word, the sound of Sombra's malefic laugh was heard throughout the room, "Ha ha ha! Finally the cunt came," The king then proceeded to approach the two mares as his massive member throbbed between his legs. He ordered Applejack to back away as he started groping Rainbow Dash's breasts and wet pussy. Using his magic, he zapped the four crystal bindings around the blue mare's legs, which caused them to retract. Without any strength left in her, the pegasus fell to the floor. She then clumsily stood up and looked angrily towards the stallion.

With a vicious joy the king laughed loudly, as he glanced over the pegasus, and proceeded to taunt her, "This is how mares should be … bowed, bent and broken! Now, my little bitch, tell me where the Crystal Heart is, or I will get personal with you. I did earn it after all."

The threat filled Rainbow Dash with disgust. She wanted to take a swing at the monarch, but didn't even have the power to lift her front leg all the way up. Not having had her will broken yet, the blue mare exhibited a final act of defiance, "I will never tell you where the heart is. Feel free to kill me now, because I will not talk in a million years. Oh, and do your worst with the 'personal' interrogation, I won't even feel it. You call yourself a king … you think you earned something? An earth pony from a farm accomplished more in five minutes than you could the entire day. I am not your bitch Sombra. I am not broken, I will never bend and I will never bow to you. And there is NOTHING you can do to me that will change that!"

Upon having heard what her friend said, Applejack face-hooved herself. She could not believe how stubborn Rainbow Dash was. She started worrying that all she had done would be in vain. She thought the king would tear the pegasus's legs off right there, but to her surprise, all Sombra did for a while was to stand quietly in place, with a look of contempt on his face. He did not light up his horn, didn't scream, didn't hit the mare back, he just stood there.

After a few seconds, the king put a calm look on his face, as he finally spoke up, "Very well. I understand."

His answer puzzled the two mares to an incredible degree. Neither of them knew what to think. What could the king be plotting? Continuing to talk with the same eerily serene tone, Sombra addressed Rainbow, "Since I was not the one who made you scream, you are free to go. My guards will take you back to your cell."

The two mares exchanged a long look of confusion, as they could not figure out if the king was being serious of not. Did Rainbow Dash hear that correctly? Was she free to go without any more torture? Had the king given up? Deciding she was not going to stick around to find out, she began taking slow steps towards the door. Applejack wanted to do the same, but as she moved, Sombra immediately wrapped his leg around her and lit up his horn.

"I said she could leave, but not you! I believe I will continue interrogating you until I either have the location of the heart or you die, whichever comes first," affirmed the king, as he cast a spell which caused four black crystal shards to rise up from the floor and coil around Applejack, encasing the earth pony in a crystal cage.

Seeing herself in that predicament, the orange mare's face filled with dread, as she started kicking the construct with all her might, but to no avail. Noticing this, Rainbow Dash immediately ran towards Applejack as fast as she could, rage burning in her eyes, as she yelled, "Nooo! Let her go!" She then starting hitting the cage as well, but in her weakened state, her kicks were no stronger than a filly's.

King Sombra allowed the two mares to strike the crystals for a few minutes, until both of them were completely tired out. He then exclaimed, "Didn't you hear me pegasus. I said you can leave. As for your friend, she is not going anywhere. She is mine!"

With newfound strength brought on by her anger, Rainbow Dash lashed out at the king, "What do you think you're doing? She doesn't know where the heart is. Let her go!"

Boasting a sinister smile on his face, King Sombra lit up his horn and retorted, "We will see." He then zapped the cage, which caused it to constrict a bit. As the crystals shrunk in size, they started digging into Applejack's skin. The initial dimensions of the prison barely gave the earth pony any room to move, and now that it had gotten smaller the bars were beginning to push against the mare's tender flesh.

"What's going on?" shouted the horrified Applejack, as Sombra zapped the cage again, causing it to decrease in size even more and starting to slowly crush the earth pony.

With tears in her eyes and foaming at the mouth due to her rage, Rainbow Dash swung her hooves towards the king, yelling, "You bastard. How dare you do this to her?"

The king easily dodged the blows thrown by the evidently wakened mare, as he replied with a condescending voice, "Am I to understand you are refusing my offer to let you go?"

Infuriated by the response, Rainbow Dash threw a few more missed punches before falling to the floor with exhaustion. With weak breaths, she threatened, "I am not going anywhere without my friend. Release her now!"

Sombra just huffed arrogantly and proceeded to zap the cage again, causing it to constrict futher. As the crystals continued to diminish in size, they hurt Applejack, making her to curl up as much as she could while crying out in pain, "Tarnation!"

As she heard her friend's suffering, Rainbow Dash felt the world crumbling around her. She herself could take any amount of abuse, but the pegasus could not stand others suffering because of her actions. Still kneeling down on the floor, the blue mare proceeded to address the king, hoping to reason with him, "She does not know where the heart is and neither do I. Killing her will get you nothing."

With a foul grin on his face, Sombra answered with a sadistic yet playful tone, "How can I be certain you don't know where it is? After all … I couldn't manage to break you, could I?"

Realizing what the king was playing at, Applejack wanted warn Rainbow Dash, but as she opened her mouth to speak, "Rainbow, listen to me …" the black unicorn zapped her with a powerful jolt of electricity, causing the earth pony to let our cries of intense pain. He then proceeded to constrict the cage even more, making the crystal bars dig deeper and deeper into Applejack's skin, starting to press against her bones.

Seeing her friend in such agony was much more than Rainbow Dash could bare. Her heart was breaking and even her sanity was beginning to shatter, seeing the streams of tears pouring from the earth pony's eyes. Her expression of anger shifted to one of despair, as she looked up towards the maleficent king and, swallowing her pride, addressed him, "OK … you win. I give up. You've broken me."

Sombra's eyes began to twitch with joy and his tail began to swing wildly as he heard his captive say the words he had been waiting to hear for a long time. Wanting to milk the situation for all that he could, the stallion decided to keep his calm demeanor and asked the pegasus, "Have I? Well then, where is the Crystal Heart?"

Rainbow Dash really had no idea where the relic was. All she knew was that Twilight had given it away. She was actually surprised when she first heard the king ask that question. Hoping to sound even more honest than before, she responded humbly, "I swear I do not know. I have no clue where it can be. I have not seen it since I was captured."

The king was visibly not pleased with that response. He did not believe the mare for a second. His calm tone was beginning to shift, as he glanced at Applejack, who was cringing inside the ever-shrinking crystal cage. After letting out an annoyed grunt, he lit up his horn and fired at the construct one more time, threatening the pegasus, "Then you will see your friend die!"

As the crystal bars constricted yet again, the sound of the earth pony's bones being crushed could be heard, as her shrikes echoed throughout the torture chamber. Rainbow Dash felt her heart stop. She could not breathe. Normally she pictured herself a heroine, a future Wonderbolt, a pony who would save the day and win the war, but now all she could do was tremble helplessly on the floor, too tired and aching to do anything, unable to aid her friend in any way. She could not help but feel responsible for Applejack's fate, she was sure it was her defiance which angered the king in such a way and could not accept seeing the blonde mare dye because of her.

Knowing all she could do was feed the king's cruel ego, she simply broke down and sobbed uncontrollably, begging the monarch, "Please … please stop. I charged in first to fight you and was knocked out. How could I even know where the Crystal Heart is? Please, I beg you, believe me I don't know. Neither does my friend. Just let her go, it's me you want. I was the defiant one, I made you mad. Take it out on me but not on her. Please, let her go and take me instead. I will do anything you want!"

Laughing arrogantly, the king retorted, "How so? You said yourself there is nothing I can do to you to make you yield."

Completely devoid of pride, thinking only of the suffering Applejack was enduring, Rainbow Dash continued to sob as she bowed her head before her captor, pleading desperately, "I was lying. I was just trying to be brave. I am nothing compared to you. You are the mighty ruler of the Crystal Empire. You can crush me with a mere thought. I … I am … I am just a worthless cunt not worthy to even look at you. Please, I implore you ... my king ... spare my friend. I am the one who deserves to be punished for defiance. Please, tear off my wings, my legs … my head … anything, just let my friend go. Please … I BEG YOU!"

Rainbow Dash pleaded so loudly, her screams entered the king ears and filled his dark heart with perverse joy. He laughed manically, as he lowered his head close to the sobbing mare and ordered with sadistic glee, "Scream … scream again you bitch."

Upon hearing the request, Rainbow simply obeyed without even so much as batting an eye. Hoping it would save Applejack, she lifted her head and yelling atop her lungs, fulfilled the stallion's wish, "Pleeease, let her go! I am a bitch, your bitch! Release her and do whatever you want to me. Please!"

Applejack could see the whole thing. She would have liked to protest, to stop Rainbow Dash from humiliating herself in such a way, but was in too much misery to speak.

Sombra, on the other hoof, was on the peak of rapture. Delighted to see he had finally broken the pegasus, he continued to taunt her, "And what can I possibly do with you? How did you put it … oh yeah. You said yourself you like mares, not slimy stallions like me."

"I lied. I was too overtaken by your might. You are so wise and powerful, what mare could ever resist you? Please, take me. Take me now!" replied the blue mare.

Hearing the cries of the pegasus excited the brutal monarch to a great extent, his penis now being painfully erect. Shouting like a mad horse, the king commanded, "Then beg for it you worthless cunt!"

Turning her flank towards the king, Rainbow Dash implored, "Please, fuck me! Fuck me now! This worthless cunt desires only her king's cock."

Enjoying his moment of triumph, Sombra put his front legs on top of the pegasus's back, lifting himself high enough to bring his thick throbbing penis close to Rainbow Dash's pussy. As the blue mare continued sobbing, the king stroked her flower with his erect member, taking the time to enjoy the sound of her crying. Licking his upper lip in anticipation, the king assertively asked his captive, "Are you ready?"

"Yes … I am. Please … fuck my pussy," responded a reluctant Rainbow Dash, as she slightly clenched her body, dreading what was about to come.

With sadistic joy burning in his eyes, Sombra leaned forward a bit but, instead of penetrating the mare's vagina, he set his sights upon another hole, "No, you revolting bitch. You are not worthy for that. You will take it IN HERE!" shouted the king, as he brutally and rapidly stuck the entire length of his cock into Rainbow Dash's tight asshole.

With utmost carelessness, the king forced himself in all the way, damaging the athletic mare's derriere as he pounded her. The pain was so sharp for the pegasus, she screamed loudly, having been taken by complete surprise. It was a painful and humiliating surprise. The stallion's member was thick as iron and pulsating with excitement; inserted into her narrow ass it felt like a metal pole had gone in there. Out of instinct, Rainbow Dash tried to pull away, to crawl a few steps, but the black unicorn immediately stopped her, pressing her back with his hooves and shoving his cock into her even deeper.

Sombra was like a beast on fire. He was humping the mare so fast and enjoying every second of it. Her anus was just as tight as Twilight's virgin pussy and the king's penis was enjoying that. He could feel the pegasus cringing and moaning from the pain, her strong legs bending and her hips shaking, fact which only served to delight the tyrant even more. Despite having had many conquests in his life as a monarch, Sombra perceived what he had just done as one of his most satisfying victories.

Thrust after thrust went into Rainbow Dash's ass, each harder than the last, as the king laughed mockingly. Ordering her to look at him, the stallion gargled deeply and spat right in her mouth, commanding the mare to swallow it. "Don't you dare spit it out. Tell me … how do you like it?"

The pegasus was in too much agony to care anymore. She just obeyed the king and then proceeded to look away from him, not wanting to see the amusement the unicorn visible took from her torment.

Inside her cramp crystal cage, Applejack was crying as well. Being almost crushed definitely prevented her from acting out, but despite all the pain she was in and knowing how harsh the king's wrath could be, she tried to say something to protect her friend, "Please … that's enough. Let her go. Take me again!"

Not at all willing to renounce his prize, the king dismissed the earth pony with a loud "Shut up!"

As he felt his balls starting to empty themselves, he decided to give the blue mare as painful a finish as possible. For the last couple dozen thrusts, he pulled out as much as he could and then shoved his cock in her anus fast and hard, so brutally that the impact even slightly ached him; but he didn't care, he knew the suffering the pegasus was going through was a thousand times worse.

Feeling her tormentor was nearing the end, Rainbow Dash said to herself You can do it … just a little more as she screamed loudly, hoping to both relieve pain and get the king excited enough to cum, so that her agony would end.

As he felt the drops of cum beginning to burst out of his cock, Sombra took his penis out and immediately posited himself so that it would be right in front of the mare's face. Looking down upon the weary pegasus, he ordained, "Now lick it. And if a single drop falls to the floor, your little earth pony friend dies."

One of the reasons Rainbow Dash was not into stallions that much was the fact that she didn't enjoy the smell or taste of semen. The first time a colt asked her to swallow after they had had sex, she just punched him and nearly threw him out of her house. She considered gobbling up semen to be demeaning but, never the less, now she was forced to do it. Despite barely being able to breathe, she could not risk Sombra making well on his dark promise. Utterly disgusted by the sight of the king's dick dangling in front of her face, especially knowing it has just been up her butt, Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and grasped it with her mouth. The black unicorn was much better endowed than any of the few stallions the pegasus had been with before, so she had a lot of trouble controlling her gag reflex as the warm liquid came out, filling her mouth. Fear gave her the power to go through with it and she managed to gulp every single drop, until the king pulled his limp member out and slapped her across the face with it.

After she was done, she could not help but cough a little and gasp for air. Normally, this gesture would upset Sombra, but he was far too proud of his triumph. Carefully examining the floor to make sure the mare had not spilled a drop, he grinned and then addressed the pegasus, "I guess I did make you scream after all."

Rainbow Dash ignored his insult. All she cared about was Applejack. Barely able to even speak because of the pain and exhaustion, she tried to stand up and look the king in the eyes. With a pleading voice, she demanded, "Yes, you did. You won. Can you please release my friend now?"

With a dark look in his eyes, Sombra gazed towards the captive mare in the crystal cage. As he let out a blast from his horn, he commented, "Oh, I will release her all right!"

The hearts of the two mares stopped for a moment, as both of them imagined the worst. But, when the magic beam hit the cage, instead of constricting again, it simply shattered to pieces, releasing Applejack. She immediately tried to stretch her body, but could barely move it. Feeling immense pain, the orange mare screamed softly, after which she fell to the floor, her bones and muscles to hurt to permit her to even flinch anymore.

Ignoring the agony she was going through after being brutally butt-fucked, Rainbow Dash instantly went next to her fiend and hugged her gently, overjoyed to see her still alive. The pegasus delicately kissed the earth pony on the forehead before proceeding to finely rub her legs around Applejack's body, hoping to ease the tremendous pain the orange mare was feeling. Looking up with fear at the black stallion and knowing full well what cruelty he was capable off, Rainbow Dash tried to soften him up in order to spare herself and the farm pony from any further discomfort, so with a soft voice she said, "Thank you, great king."

Sombra had witnessed the entire scene and grinned hysterically, as he patted himself on the back for turning two rebellious rambunctious mares into sniveling fillies. Remember the battle from the pass, he realized that the two prisoners he had just interrogated were among the first to fall and since neither was a unicorn it wouldn't make sense for them to be given the Crystal Heart at any point. Despite his failure to find the location of the magical artifact, the king seemed quite pleased with how things went today.

With his balls now completely empty and having had his fill of mares for one day, the king walked towards the exit of the torture chamber. Upon opening the door he shouted for his guards, who appeared in mere moments. He then ordered, "I am done interrogating these two, take them to a prison cell for the night. Oh … and don't worry about them trying to escape again. That won't happen … WILL IT?"

When Rainbow Dash heard the king's statement, she immediately responded, "No … no it won't," still preoccupied with trying to help Applejack heal as quickly as possible. She wouldn't dare risk anything in her weakened state, especially with her friend's life on the line.

"Rainbow … I … ouch … it hurts," was all the earth pony could say. She would have liked to offer some advice, but the pain was too much even for a tough farm pony like her.

Upon hearing that, the pegasus gently put her hoof over her friend's mouth and whispered, "Shh … shh. It's OK. I will help you. I will always be by your side from now on!"

As the two guards approached the prisoners in order to fulfill their master's demand, King Sombra walked out of the torture chamber and headed for his private quarters. Fantasizing about what he would do once he actually got his hooves on the mystical gem, he said to himself, Once the Crystal Heart is in my clutches, I shall break the two princesses just like I did these two mares. The sun shall set, the moon shall not rise, nothing will save them … WHEN THE UMBRUM COME.

Author's Note

As the story arc developed, I knew that at some point I would write a chapter where two of the mane six would be tortured together.

It was not easy to decide on a pair, but ultimately I believed that only the uniqure relationship Applejack and Rainbow Dash have can be exploited to create a pastiche of interesting scenarios, ranging from competitive to cooperative.
