Chapter 4 - Chink in the Armor

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Sometime later Twilight returned to the interrogation room hoping Shining had enough time to think things over. She opened the door and found him staring at the floor. She entered and either he didn’t notice or chose not to notice her enter. “So are you in a more talkative mood?” No response. She moved closer and waved a hoof in front of him. “Hello.” Then put her hoof under his chin and lifted it up a little to get a better look at him. She saw the glazed look in his eyes and thought she came back too soon. She turned to leave. “Perhaps I’ll come back later.”

It was in that instance Shining snapped back to reality and spoke in a quiet voice. “Twilight.”

She turned back around to face him. “Found your voice did you.”

“I…”

“Yesss.” Shining wasn’t sure what to do. He’d had some rather lewd dreams involving her while he slept and has never been so mentally, emotionally, or morally conflicted before. After a few moments Twilight turned to leave again. “I’ll be back later.”

Twilight started to leave again when he blurted out. “There’s a hidden way into Canterlot!”

Twilight looked back at him. “Reeeeally.” Shining turned his head and looked away cursing himself for having just said that. She came back to him and took a seat on his lap. Then used her hoof to turn his head back to face her, kissed him, and in a soft seductive tone said. “Tell me more.”

Shining felt disgusted with himself for selling out like this. “There’s an old extensive cave system that runs under Canterlot that was used to mine gems until it was all played out and was boarded up. Most ponies don’t realize it’s even there and leads from the base of the mountain right to the city.”

“What else?”

“T-There’s a secret passage that leads from the castle throne room to the statue garden. The exit is covered by the statue representing victory. It was meant to be used in case the princess had to make an escape for any reason.”

Twilight could tell there was more to it than that. “Is that all?” she said while rubbing up against him.

Shining bit his lip. “There’s a good chance that there are some alarm and defensive spells in the passage that will have to be disabled.”

Twilight felt that was enough for the moment and kissed him again. Afterwards Twilight turned to leave and made sure to move her tail to give him a good shot of her plot. “I’ll discuss this with father and see what he thinks. In the meantime I’ll have you moved to more comfortable accommodations and get you a decent meal. Then I’ll visit you later.”


“Well done Twilight, I had no idea you could be so…persuasive. Of course I’ll have to verify this information before we make a move. Now the question is what to do with the captain, what do you think?”

“I don’t know, I’m starting to like having him around. He’s told us this much, shouldn’t be hard to get him to tell us more and not too much of a stretch to get him on our side.”

“Very well then I’ll leave him to you. I’m off to do some reconnaissance to see if what he told us checks out.”


Shining had been moved to a guest room and after he was fed used the bathroom to clean himself up. He sat at the frontend of the bed not sure what to think or do. His magic was still cut off and the door was locked. But by this point he wasn’t sure if he even wanted to attempt an escape. He heard the door unlock and Twilight walked in relocking the door behind her.

“Hello there lover, feel like sharing some more?” Shining just looked away in shame. She walked over and turned his head to face her. “Aw, what’s the matter, something wrong?”

“I-I don’t even recognize my own reflection anymore. I betrayed my nation to save myself. It’s my job and duty to protect others and those I care about. Now I’ve-”

Twilight put her hoof over his mouth. “Shh, you’re just confused at the moment, but you’ll come around eventually.”

“That’s what I’m afraid of.”

Twilight stepped back a little and removed her cape and regalia. Then got on and walked to the other end of the bed laying herself out in an alluring manner. She beckoned him with her hoof. “Come here I’d like to see how you perform when you’re given the reins.” The sight was just too tempting for him to resist. Shining made his way to her and Twilight laid on her back. She expected him to just start ravaging her but instead he started licking her folds which was a pleasant surprise. She let out a soft moan. Now this is more like it.


Sombra hid in the shadows as he skulked threw Canterlot. He had found the cave system Shining had spoken of and it checked out. He moved onto the castle and saw a barrier around it preventing anything from entering or exiting. But it was only around the castle itself. He made it to the statue garden and located the statue representing victory. It was ironic considering it would lead to Equestria’s defeat. He slid it over and found the opening to the tunnel underneath. Satisfied he moved it back into place and spent a little more time looking around the city to determine its current defensive capabilities, then headed back to the Crystal Empire.


Shining and Twilight held each other in an embrace as he pounded her pussy at a brisk pace. Luckily Shining’s guard training helped build up his stamina over the years. Thanks to his earlier oral stimulation Twilight had already reached her orgasm once, correction twice now. She felt her mind going numb and finally he climaxed. Shining laid here on top of her. Both were breathless from the experience. After a couple minutes they started to calm down and Twilight reached the point where she could form words again.

“Ah fuck, you’re an animal, rawr.”

Twilight managed to roll him onto his back with her on top. Her forelegs wrapped around his neck and she gave him a deep passionate kiss, and he returned this one wrapping his forelegs around her as well. After a minute of that his cock had shrunk down enough for it to slide out. Twilight already missed the feeling of him inside her but she could be patient and wait until the next time. They laid there together for a while and aside from Twilight getting some more intel out of him they talked about other things. Twilight talked a little bit about her life growing up and Shining talked about his life and what her actual parents were like. Then there was a knock at the door.

“Twilight when you’re done in there I’d like a word in the throne room.”

With some reluctance Twilight got out of bed and redressed herself, then left the room.


Twilight entered the throne room where Sombra was waiting. “You know Twilight its fine that you’re enjoying your time with Shining but we still have a war to win.”

“I realize that. Now how did your recon go?”

“Shining’s information checks out. I found the cave system, we should be able to send our troops through and take the city by surprise. I also found the tunnel in the statue garden that leads to the castle. Celestia won’t know what hit her. The problem though is getting our troops over the boarder to Canterlot unnoticed for the attack. We’ll have to do some careful planning on how to go about that.”

“Then we had better get started.”
