The day had passed after Celestia and Luna had freed Ponyville from the corruptive army that had befallen it.

And while some might call it a late arrival, it was at least an arrival that saved Twilight from being foalnapped, like so many of her fellow ponies…all over Equestria and beyond.

Everywhere in the world these creatures had sprung up and many had to defend themselves in the face of these new enemies. It was hard for Equestria to adapt to this situation. After all, after a thousand years of peace, ponies hardly were used to having to fight.

Sure, there were some villains popping up here and there the last few years, but those normally were taken care of without ponies suffering too much. However, this time they didn’t have this luxury.

The other nations all fared better in direct comparison. Zebras that were used to the scorching heat of deserts and roaming monsters could easily deal with some raunchy pests ambushing them. As did the prideful griffons in the harsh windy mountains who had to fight against harpies and earth bound minotaurs.

This of course strained the relationship between griffons and regular minotaurs from Equus as they were likened to one another.

A divide they really didn’t need and as such Celestia sent ambassadors to calm things down before it escalated into a possible war.

The purple alicorn meanwhile was tucked into her bed with Luna having stayed behind to watch over her while Celestia performed their duties.

Twilight stirred. The exhaustion from the day prior as well as the Corruption having made her sleep soundly.

She bemoaned that she was awake, wiggling under her covers as her drowsy eyes slowly opened.

Her mind was foggy, making her wonder if she had pulled a few all-nighters the past few days.

Of course she didn’t. It took her only about half a minute to recall the invasion and her perverted fate, before she was saved, though the part that she was saved was more of a blur as she bolted upright.

“Are you awake, Twilight Sparkle?” Princess Luna asked her, looking over to her as she was laying casually next to her on her stomach on the large comfy four-poster bed.

“Princess Luna? T-The monsters! The fillies! Are the-” she cried out, sitting up, but her mouth was clamped shut by blue magic as the night mare nodded.

“They are fine. Or at least those ones. A census revealed that many ponies have gone missing. No doubt foalnapped by these vile beasts. But worry not, one of our guard squads is stationed here to guard the town from further harm. Of course this wouldn’t have happened in the first place if you did listen to our advice and establish a guard in the first place.”

A bit of a barb against her, though it was one Twilight couldn’t deny after hearing that townsfolk went missing. It wasn’t hard to figure out what was done to them right now…and it made her squirm to quench that slight heat in her lower area.

“...Apologies,” Princess Luna said, turning her head away to avert her eyes. “Tis’ was uncalled for. Still, a guard will be established now. Sister agrees too. You are important to Equestria and cannot be lost to these vile beasts.”

She wouldn’t disagree with that, considering everything that happened. “Okay…We have to be careful like you said. I am not sure where they come from either. They are so strange, unlike anything I have seen before. Did you and Celestia find out something about them?”

“Nay. It hasn’t been that long after all, though we did capture a few and they are interrogated as we speak. But the chaos that was spread all over the world is worrying.”

“...All over the world?” Twilight asked with some confusion.

Luna turned towards her again, nodding grimly.

“Yes. Ponyville is not the only place that was invaded. Other kingdoms were too as portals have opened all over Equus, making us assume these monsters might come from a whole different world entirely. News traveled fast. At least where the roads and train tracks weren’t damaged. It was heard that Griffonstone had troubles with them for example. We haven’t received news from all countries yet about their state of invasion.”

“W-What about the Crystal Empire?” the purple alicorn stuttered in worry.

“No news as of now, but we hope the hostile environment and the barrier held any would be invaders off. For now you need to worry about the immediate threat…some of your friends went missing too after all.”

Twilight’s heart plummeted as she heard that. Maybe she should have expected it. After all, ponies went missing, so there was no guarantee their friends wouldn’t be.

“Who?”

“Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. From our information, it seems that Pinkie was carried out by some minotaur-like monsters and the quiet one lived at the edge of the forest, right where they emerged. It is safe to say from the traces that she might be one of the first victims in Ponyville.”

Silence followed as the lavender alicorn processed this.

Fluttershy was easily explained. She wasn’t the best fighter and too trusting for her own good. Her kindness invited them practically and afterwards…

Pinkie fell into the same category, Twilight assumed. She loves to make more friends and is rather naive. In all honesty, she always wondered if Pinkie even knew what sex was.

Still…this is probably better than what she could have expected. Applejack’s farm is next to the forest too, so she could have easily been foalnapped likewise. Luckily her resilient nature aided her in this from the looks of it.

Thinking about it though, she felt guilty for Pinkie Pie. She was even in her room to get to the thatched rooftops, but didn’t stop to ask where she was. Sure it was a high stress situation with Spoiled and Mayor Mare being irredeemable cunts-

‘Cunts? Since when am I using such words?’ she pondered, blinking. Technically those two did deserve it of course, wanting to kick out some innocent fillies.

Are they okay as well?

The nerdy mare got out of bed, rubbing her head groaning.

“Thank you for the information, Luna. Do we have a list of all the ponies that went missing? Maybe some items from these captured creatures? I will need to do a lot of research on this one.”

“A list and several items were given to your assistant. Now after you have awoken, we must depart. There is still a lot of chaos in Canterlot and all over Equestria. If you need assistance, write us a letter and we will see what we can do, but no promises. For now we will need to focus on using the dream realm to search for any missing ponies. Once we locate one’s in your jurisdiction we will send you their location.”

It was fair enough of a sentiment. There was too much work to do now for her to stay here and the fact that she was willing to keep an eye out for missing ponies was helpful enough…but seeing as countless ponies all over Equestria went missing, chances aren’t high she would find her friends or any pony from Ponyville anytime soon.

This meant that she needed to take charge now. No more delays, she had slept enough.

Princess Luna had by then lit up her horn, vanishing in a flash of light.

Twilight was grateful for it, because she needed a bit of alone time at this moment, before she went to see Spike.

This may seem selfish, considering other ponies and possibly non-ponies are missing, but for her it was necessary.

Because she could feel a change.

Not like something was changing right now, but that something had changed more than before. Like the corruption she first encountered with that bee-girl Liz, only stronger. A given, seeing how she was ravaged by the demons after making one too many bad decisions.

A total loss and it was mere luck that she didn’t went missing as well.

So she stepped in front of her large full-body mirror, eying her reflection. It was rather orderly with her mane even kempt. From the looks of it she was washed and taken care of, possibly with the help of Spike as well.

For obvious reasons, she hoped that he didn’t see her in her ruined state, but only after all of those juices and cum were cleaned from her.

Now was the time to focus though. Her magic reached out, feeling strange and new with the corrupting influence mixed in. It was leading her towards something as well. Some sort of instinctive use.

Maybe it would be dangerous and yet she followed it. They were facing an unknown threat, so she was willing to risk it.

Then suddenly a window popped up:

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Strength: 26

Toughness: 29

Speed: 17

Intelligence: 69

Libido: 23

Sensitivity: 16

Corruption: 25

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

HP: 110

Lust: 11

Fatigue: 0

Level: 1

Bits: 0

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Numbers. Many numbers along with descriptions. No doubt all with meaning and that determined different things.

It stood to reason that this was the system of these strange beings. Traits and Stats. Spike no doubt would actually be rather interested in this.

Of course the Corruption stat was the most worrying…

She did absorb it from Scootaloo and it was something that affected her mind. Maybe making her more accepting of sexual acts as well as making her more ruthless?

Spoiled Rich and Mayor Mare came to mind.

It was something that would need to be studied, so she might as well make notes or keep a diary to see how her morality would change over time.

For now, it was time to see Spike. With that in mind she mentally wiped away the stats list.

With a bit of magic the doors swung open, followed by another spell, to detect where her younger brother was at inside of the castle. While limited in range and buildings, the crystal walls helped to transmit the signal and easily reach every little corner in her castle.

‘The kitchen?’

Fitting enough for her as she could use breakfast right about now. A small reprieve before she had to delve right into the missing pony cases.

She tried not to think too much about it, knowing that worrying about it alone won’t solve it. She needed to make a plan and hopefully she could manage to locate every missing pony quickly.

Including her friends.

On her way there she could see many thestral guards saluting her. There were some at her doors too that she at first hadn’t noticed with how sunken in thought she was. Plenty of them stationed inside and no doubt many patrolling the town proper as well to ensure none of the invaders could make it back in which was reassuring to say the least.

She would need to start recruiting her own soon too instead of relying on Luna’s alone like the princess suggested. An important task to be sure and one of many she pondered over, before finally reaching the kitchen.

The drake turned around from the stool he was standing on as he was preparing himself some food. His face lit up as soon as he saw her.

“Twilight!” he exclaimed, turning the stove off and jumping down. The drake ran over to her and gave her forelegs a tight hug. “I was worried when Rainbow and Apple Bloom suddenly teleported here! Especially when Apple Bloom told me that you were in trouble!”

“It is fine now, Spike. Princess Celestia and Luna helped me out. And I know you must have many questions, but first…can you prepare some breakfast for me too?” she asked, sheepishly.

Her younger sibling listened as he broke the hug and saluted dutifully.

“I will do that immediately then!”

He got back on the chair and then quickly got her something as well.

Twilight sat down as her little brother whipped something up for the both of them. It barely took any time at all with how skilled he was and soon enough two omelets were put in front of both of them as they were sitting across from each other.

“Are you really okay?” Spike queried while eating.

Justified worry and one she could not ignore.

“I am, Spike. Like I said, Princess Celestia and Luna saved me when I needed their help the most. But many other ponies will need our help after this, so I will be counting on your support.”

“Okay. Got it, Twilight. You can count on me!”

The drake sounded like he was determined or almost desperate to be of use. Maybe not surprising considering she had left him behind when the invasion started. And while he was safe, many ponies were not.

He must have read through the list of the ones that were missing.

A bit of an uneasy feeling as she was filling her stomach, but one that couldn’t be helped. She would solve this and as soon as their plates were empty, she had the dragon lead her down to the laboratory in her basement.

It was where Spike had left the confiscated items Luna gave him as well as the list.

First she went for the list. As it was said, Fluttershy and Pinkie were missing, as well as several mares and fillies. Some from her Friendship School as well.

“Granny Smith is missing. Gallus, Coconut Cream, Toola Roola, Bubblegum Brush, Boysenberry, Tag-A-Long… Two third of the missing ponies are all fillies.”

Spike stood dutifully next to her with a worried look. “Right…I heard they took many of them with them because…they were smaller and easier to carry than fully grown mares or stallions.”

It made sense. With the sudden retreat after Celestia and Luna arrived, they didn’t have much time. No doubt most of the ones that tried to secure anything heavier than a foal were beaten by the princesses and their guards.

“This is…troublesome.”

“Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and others that were…used are currently in the castle by the way. Princess Celestia and Luna was free enough to use this place as a hospital of sorts for these cases, seeing as the regular one couldn’t hold them all,” the drake mentioned with a blush, making the purple mare rub her face.

“Luna should have mentioned that, but it is fine. This castle has more than enough rooms and it is good that they are used now at least. We don’t know enough about the consequences of mating with these new races that invaded either.”

Her hoof went to her own belly at that. With how much she was pumped full, she couldn’t say for sure that she wasn’t pregnant from it, though the princesses surely would have cast a spell on her as soon as they saw the state she was in.

Hard to say how effective their spells are though against their biology. Considering the…size of their genitalia as well as their high libido and…sexual poisons, it is easy to conclude that they were born to breed.

It hinted at a more dangerous environment they lived in, so that they would need lots of offspring to carry on their genes and race.

She shook her head. Not like she could really make any good hypotheses with what she had now.

And technically, Spike was the one that was supposed to ask her questions and not the other way around. As such she turned to him warmly, giving him a smile. A gesture of comfort for what would be a difficult topic.

“For now though, I feel like I am owing you some answers. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.”

The drake nodded, steeling himself for what was to come.

“So, these things…They invaded us through portals or something and their way of fighting involves all of the adult stuff you like to keep from me. And it did capture you as well as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo?”

Twilight clenched her lips tightly for a moment as she mulls it over.

“In short…yes. They got Dinky too. I only had enough energy to teleport Rainbow Dash and Apple Bloom away. It was a stressful situation. And if you want me to explain my encounters outside in more detail…I would rather not. Just know that there was a large tentacle beast, bee-girls and some other creatures that were called imps and goblins.”

“Creatures that made the Everfree their home near here and I guess made their home in other areas as well from what Luna said.”

The Everfree Forest? It was a good location to hole up in…however, this also begged the question to how Zecora would be. She had defenses against the monsters of the forest, so no doubt she would probably be able to deal with them. For now it wasn’t like she herself could rush in there immediately without preparations. That would be foolish.

“For now, let us take a look at the items. Afterwards we will organize a rescue party and hope we can find and save as many missing ponies as possible.”

The purple dragon mulled that over and nodded. “Alright. But shouldn’t we do that right away?”

“It is better to first gauge what items are in their possessions as they could use these against us, Spike,” the lavender alicorn explained to him, before walking over to the table that held three different things on it.

Her brother followed along.

A corked-topped flask sloshing around with a slimy looking off-white fluid was the first to be seen. There was a stylized picture of a humanoid with a huge penis etched into the glass.

‘Incubi Draft’ the label read.

Next up was a milk bottle filled to the brim with a creamy white milk of dubious origin. A seductive female humanoid shape was etched into it.

‘Succubi Milk’ the label said and Twilight remembered that Spoiled Rich was forced to drink this one, giving her more demonic features as well as making her fur more taut and beautiful as well.

Lastly there was a sealed flagon of 'Goblin Ale'. Judging by the markings on the flagon, it had a very strong drink in it that should not to be trifled with.

Of course, Twilight had the choice to still trifle with it or either of the other items if she so choose to.

“Maybe this needs testing,” she murmured as Spike eyed the items warily.

The question is if she should test them. She could simply leave them alone for now. If she wanted to test them, she could try them herself or maybe even have Spike sip them to see what kind of effects they had.

You choose.

1. Twilight drinks it.
2. Spike drinks it.
3. Nopony drinks for now.
4. Both Drink.

5. Incubi Draft
6. Succubi Milk
7. Goblin Ale

Author's Note

This story got Commissioned now, so it is back as it took priority through the commissioning.

In any case, there are a few changes. For one, Friendship School is a thing in it now. It wasn't back then as Friendship School didn't exist when I first wrote this, I believe. Stats are going to be used from now on too, to give it a more proper game-like feel. I also am now more open to M/M too, so there might be some scenes here and there and/or choices for it. Also choices of course to transform males into females. Heck, Spike could be turned into Barb if you were up for it~

I also won't use strawpoll anymore as it can easily get manipulated, so choices can be simply written in the comments and I count them normally then.

The poll will either be open until Sunday or up to a week until next Wednesday.

I also decided that you can make the decision to have both drink now as some people did like that idea.

To the votes. A bit of a difficult decision to make here, considering Succubi Milk is very popular with both, though Twilight does have two more votes on it. In the end both will drink Succubi Milk. I feel it represents best what the readers want. Maybe in the future I will find a way to solve this better. For example I could try to have more item drops, so that more items will be available.
