Twilight was still getting used to seeing Gel as his human self still, but the plan with the cockatrices didn't need either of them to work. "I want to find out why some ponies are unaffected by this." Twilight gestured to herself.

"Could it just be that you are an alicorn?" Gel fetched some paper and a quill, ready to take notes.

"Fluttershy was immune to it too, but then so is Tree Hugger." Twilight looked over as she saw Gel's quill flicking, he seemed to have a hang of using his hands to hold it; he was making a table up with the names of the ponies she had mentioned. "Thank you, now what are things that would affect… well, reproductive readiness."

"Fluttershy is pregnant." Gel scribed that in beside the mare. "I don't think she mentioned taking a seed, but Tree did, so that could be another reason."

"But why me?" Twilight froze, her blood running cold. "I… I…"

Shining opened her eyes, there was strong love magic burning all around her and she was bathed in it. The angry spirit that had been controlling the stallion had fled, but she had protected her citizens first and foremost.

"Shining Armor?" Glint trotted forward, Flurry wobbling along beside her. "Uh, I think we should get the princess…"

Turning her head, Shining looked back to the changeling. "It's okay, but we really need to track down that thing, I won't stand for it to infect another pony." Something was half blocking her view and she turned a little more to get the wing out of the way.

"Shining?" Glint watched as Shining Armor folded down on herself, fainting clear away. Thankfully, it seemed, her wings had folded in. "Oh drat… uh, can anypony help me?" She trotted to the edge of the alley and spotted two members of the Royal Guard. "Help!"

Flash and Sharp were doing their usual patrol of the market when they heard the small voice calling the distinctive, to a guard, word. Trotting over, they found an odd sight. A changeling drone with what was clearly Princess Flurry Heart beside her and what they knew to be Shining Armor collapsed further up the alley. But there was something very different about the captain of their guard.

"Sharp, you can carry her?" Flash gestured to Shining. Getting a nod from his partner, the pegasus leaned down and lifted Flurry up onto his own back. "Don't suppose you could make a bit of a spectacle for us?" He had to poke the changeling gently in the shoulder, she was staring at Shining.

"Oh, uh, me?" Glint looked up at the smiling stallion. She realized they were trying to get Princess Cadance's consort away without drawing attention. "I am a changeling, making a spectacle is what I was born for!"

Flash Sentry watched the small changeling trot out and away from the alley. She climbed up on an old crate and burned with green fire. The little drone grew to the size of almost a normal pony. "Behold, it is I! Queen Chrysalis! I have come to take over your market!" That she half-slurred her words made all the attention she got turn lighthearted, a welcome distraction from an otherwise boring day. "Nopony can stop me!"

"Got her?" Flash looked back to Sharp Poke, seeing him half carrying the mare on his back and half using magic. "Let's go!"

Glint saw the two guards trot from the alley and toward the castle. "Come, minion drones! Let us invade the castle together!" She lifted her hoof, pointing down to the next market square, the last the guards would need to sneak through to get Shining back to the castle. Some ponies found some soot and were covering themselves with it, forming up as the 'little queen's army.

Shining was jostled around so much she started to wake up as they were halfway through the invaded market. There was fresh fruit being lobbed between ponies and a general good time was being had as the citizens of the Crystal Empire seemed to be having a great time. "Fear not!" Shining slipped from the stallion's back. "Your princess is here to defend you from the changelings!" Shining trotted forward, wings spread.

There were gasps from the ponies defending their market. There were gasps from the 'changelings' attacking. There were two stallions trying not to use the worst words they knew in front of Flurry Heart.

"Our princess is here to save us!" Somepony in the defenders yelled and the crowd lurched forward, tossing buckets of water over the changelings, returning them to just being ponies, more than a few found it a good time to steal a kiss with their counterparts in the defeated army. Shining, however, ended up standing opposite 'Chrysalis'.

"Give up, and we promise that you can have a hug." Shining stood, wings flared wide. Her heart was beating fast with the excitement. The 'evil changeling queen' bowed her head and flashed with fire, becoming the small changeling she had defended in the alleyway. She wasn't completely sure how her wings worked, but she managed to wrangle them around the little drone and hug her.

The Crystal Heart pulsed again, this time not in anger at something that shouldn't be in the city, but at the happy moment of ponies having fun and the new princess it had a hoof in creating to defend them.

"Wait, Cadance mentioned she used a spell with Shining." Twilight's hooves were moving before she even finished but in a moment Gel was alone in the lab room, a puffing cloud fading where his love used to be. Then equally quick she was back. "Okay, let's…"

Gel just smiled, letting his adorkable lover do her thing. "Let's see, who have you been with?" Twilight ignored him initially, casting the spell and getting fireworks go off over her head. "Was that a yes?" He didn't have to ask, Twilight's shocked face was enough. Gel flowed back to his pony-shape, making sure he had wings, and was at Twilight's side as she cast the spell again. He wrapped a wing around her and nuzzled her cheek. "Congratulations."

Twilight took a lot of quick breaths, her heart practically beating free of her chest. "I… I…" Another kiss by Gel calmed her a little and got her past the initial shock and into the juicy land of 'panic'. "I can't be pregnant, I am a princess, princesses don't get-" Another kiss silenced her panic. At least until Gel drew back. "But Cadance got pregnant, then Celestia…"

"Something in the world changed, or maybe it was Cadance's love that unlocked this?" Gel was reaching over Twilight's back with his wing, keeping her's pinned down while he rubbed her side. "On to my question. The stallion I know you have been with is myself."

"Applejack." Twilight said, blushing a little at the memory. She hadn't been able to tell her 'no', not after being stallion for her.

"When did you do that?" Gel wasn't angry, more amused. It warmed Twilight's heart a great deal that there was not the slightest negative emotion in him. "Well, that is still only two of us."

"Depends how far along… when we were in the Crystal Empire…" Twilight blushed more.

"Sombra?" Gel's guess had Twilight shake her head. "Then who?"

"A guard. Flash was his name, I think. I rolled his mind easily, he was a puppet to me at the time." Twilight trembled at the memory, of power used for no other reason than to show it off.

"Maybe, let's not count him out. Was he nice? Unicorn?" Gel didn't stop his gentle massage, relaxing Twilight more and more with the attention.

"Pegasus… he did this thing with his wings, when he filled me…" Twilight closed her eyes and relaxed. Her good panic that she had worked up was defused by the most understanding of mates. "It doesn't matter that it might not be you-"

Gel silenced Twilight with a kiss. "Any foal you have is mine and yours." He looked into those violet eyes when they opened. "I only care that it is you having them."

Flash hadn't been able to stop the celebration from starting. Shining Armor was the newest princess and her ponies would not be denied. "If you can't beat them, join them."

"What?" Sharp had to lean close, somepony had begun playing music and it became much harder to hear.

"Let's get Flurry back to the palace and notify the princess." Flash turned to examine the foal on his back, only to see her flying erratically toward her parent. "Scratch that, and I mean the other princess. You get to the guards, rouse them to help take care of this." Spreading his wings, Flash Sentry took off toward the palace.

"You best have a good reason for this, Flash Sentry." Cadance's head snapped around when the stallion flew in through the window. The yak she was in a meeting with seemed to shift back a bit, looking startled.

"Your Highness!" Flash saluted sharply. "There has been an incident. I am not sure the full nature of it but Shining Armor… your husband… she ascended."

Cadance froze. Since her husband got pregnant, she had begun making plans for every eventuality, no matter how small or insignificant the chance of them happening. "Shining Armor is… an alicorn?" She got a nod from Flash. "Huh, I didn't see this coming."

"The west quad of the city has broken into celebration, it is spreading. I sent Sharp to get the guards to organize, ponies are going to need food and drink." Flash couldn't fight the happiness within him, now that he had seen to his duty. He liked Shining, really liked him as a stallion, admired him from afar as a mare. Never afraid to stand up for anypony, never willing to just give in. "With your permission, I will contact the palace cooks…"

"Do that." Cadance closed her eyes and took a slow, deep breath. "Your eminence, you must understand this moment is quite important, and although our empires-"

"You relax, go tend to your mate and empire. Yaks still be here. Just trade disputes." The huge shaggy ambassador smiled. He had been a little put out at the odd arrival, but he knew enough of the strange, smaller creatures his empire neighbored with to know that a pony becoming a princess was a big thing.

Cadance's heart was not in it, but she thanked the dignitary. The moment the yak was out of the room she was out the window, wings spread. "Where would I be if I was a newly ascended princess raising the biggest party in the Crystal Empire?"

The question was asked of the wind as it rushed past Cadance, it didn't reply but she smiled all the same.

Spike bucked harder and harder into Roseluck, the mare was so tight it was making him ache. He didn't want to end too soon, but with his brain only having marginal control of him right then he had little real influence.

She wasn't sure why she had opened the cellar door and welcomed the sex-crazed stallion in, but Rose was deliriously happy that she had. The itch inside her had built into an ache and the big shaft the unicorn was shoving in and out of her was just the thing to scratch it. She wanted him, wanted him to finish so she could carry his foal. She wanted… she wanted…

Suddenly, the mare was even tighter around Spike, his shaft felt gripped in a vice of soft flesh. He gurgled and groaned as he tried to keep up his hard bucking.

Rose was over her edge. Her body spasmed and shook, she didn't care what else was happening now so long as she got the hot load this stud was about to dish out. She blinked in surprise when she saw the head of the chicken poke down into the cellar.

The cockatrice clucked a few times. The Mistress of Beasts had told them all that they were allowed to roam the town, there were so many delicious meals! His gaze caught the mare's first and he gave a happy cluck as he slithered in, getting closer to his targets.

Spike hadn't seen the thing, all he knew was that his body was pushing into release. The tight feeling spread down from his plot to his groin, focusing in at his balls before sudden, amazing pleasure poured out into him.

Unable to move her stone legs, Rose didn't feel a hint of fear as her orgasming body was taken over by the hard gray stone. When it claimed her plot and flanks, she felt her nerves lock into the sensation, her brain now being fed a constant rush of pleasure.

Spotting the cockatrice, Spike smiled as his body bucked into the now unyielding body under him. Something strange had happened to the mare but he really didn't care. It got harder to buck, but the pleasure of release still rushed through him.

A few moments later the cockatrice clucked a few more times at the couple, they were locked in their perfect moment of union. But the mythical creature had liked the Master of Beast's plan, there were more ponies around and this would be a true feast.

Rose's mind reeled. It was trapped within an unmoving body and while she felt the tug of sleep at her mind, the terrible, wonderful pleasure kept her from that relaxation. As it did for the stallion still riding her, his mind focused perfectly on the mare he would be filling for a very long time.
