Author's Note

For some reason, this, out of all my stories, keeps having me come back to it, captivated by what I've written. For my own tastes, I love the themes that I came up with.

So I wrote this short bonus chapter because of that. This one is actually canon to the main story, and serves as a bit of hinting and foreshadowing for the events that will take place in a possible sequel I'm still on the fence about writing. Some hints bigger than others. Unedited though because my editor hates this story's guts! I spared him this time.

More of my thoughts in my comment below the chapter.

An En Route Adjustment

“So what’s this one’s name?”

“Let me check the file here…. Starlight Glinter.”

“It says Starlight Glimmer...”

“Oh… right. Why do all ponies have such silly names, Zabella?”

“I don’t know, Zuri…”

“But, wow, is she cute! I love, love, love her hair! And the melons on her! Look at them! They’ve grown huge!......... Honk honk.”

“Knock that off, Zuri. The ponies aren’t animals. They are still worth our respect.”

“I know. But really! I remember processing her cutie booty back in the harbor before we set sail. Her tits were already pretty large before the potion started to take effect on her. But now I can’t even fit all of them in my hand! And they are soooo soft too! Perfect pillows!”

“That’s to be expected. From the pictures and measurements we sent back, this one had a very interested party looking into acquiring her back on the homeland. The potions I’ve formulated will help form her body to their exact specifications over the remaining course of our journey. Her breasts still have another cup size or two to grow before she’s ready for them and her impending motherhood. Among other adjustments. Hold her mouth open for me while I pour them in please, Zuri.”

“Okay. But you said this one was Twilight Sprinkle’s apprentice? This was the powerful unicorn you were talking about, Zabella?”

“Yes, but that much was obvious just from looking at her chest. The larger a female unicorn breasts, the more potent their magical ability tends to be.”

“Really? Huh… That rule did not work both ways with the guys though. That’s so funny!”

“Well, ponies tend to be funny creatures.”

“So we’re waking her up then?”

“Of course. We can’t do it with her asleep like the others. There’s probably a lot of it and we can’t risk missing any, even a little. Besides, it’s a good enough reason as any to run a few tests with a waking subject. The remedy I just administered to her should be working through her system. She’ll be coming to any second now...”

“Your potions have never failed before, Zabella. I still can’t get over how much I have to learn from you sometimes.”

“If you pay attention, apprentice, you’ll notice there’s even more you stand to learn from the ponies...”

“Wha….huh? Who…? W-where am I?” Starlight Glimmer mumbled groggily as she slowly cracked open her eyes. It felt as though she had slept a thousand moons, and yet, she was still tired.

“Shhhhhh,” A kind sounding voice gently hushed. “Don’t try to move so quickly now, dear. The sleep potion is still wearing off…”

Hearing the strange, foreign, and exotic voice of a zebra, Starlight’s mind quickly snapped to, taking in her surroundings. She was naked. Completely naked. Not so much as a sock or a stitch of clothing covering her exposed body was seen. She was lying in a wooden crate, lined with a generous amount of Equestrian hay, and a pillow for her head. The lid of her cozy crate had been removed and above her, staring directly down at her, were two attractive zebra women! One of whom appeared the same age as her, the other, slightly younger in the CMC’s age range. In a panic, Starlight’s arms shot to cover her shame from their prying eyes.

“Oh, there’s no need for that silly!” A chirpy Zuri giggled. “We’ve already seen you naked plenty! Remember we helped pack you away back in the Manehattan harbor? I’m Zuri, don’t you remember?”

“Oh, right,” Starlight breathed a sigh of relief as the memories flooded back to her, not resisting as Zuri gently removed her covering arms so that her privates were once again visible to them. Though she was butt naked, the female zebras weren’t far off from that either. Their apparel had changed greatly from what they wore in Equestria. Now it appeared more like fur top and bottom, like a bikini but slightly less revealing while still given plenty to gawk at. Perhaps that outfit was more par for the course in Zebrica for young women?“H-how long have I been out? If I’m awake now, does that mean we arrived in Zebrica?”

“No, not yet I’m afraid,” Zabella shook her head. “As of this moment, the boats have merely sailed passed the halfway point. The entire journey takes around two to three months, even with a favorable wind.”

“Shoot,” Starlight muttered, the disappointment obvious in her voice.

“Oh, try not to worry about it,” Zuri consoled. “We can put you back to sleep soon so you’ll hardly notice the lapse in time. We just needed to do a few things with you first, Starlight.”

“Some tests, if you don’t mind,” Zabella added.

“Well, sure,” Starlight giggled, using her arms starting to brace herself out of the crate. “Might be fun, I suppose. Plus it wouldn’t hurt to stretch a little.” The two zebras nodded and withdrew, allowing the unicorn ample space to lift herself out of the wooden crate and onto her feet. The potion wearing off surprisingly fast.

Glancing around, Starlight noticed she was what appeared to be the cargo hold of a sizable wooden ship. The gentle rocking and sound of waves outside indicated the ship was currently sailing at a decent speed. Eastbound, if she remembered correctly. Around her though were dozens upon dozens of large wooden crates, all similar looking like hers. Undoubtedly, each and every single one of them contained a sleeping Equestrian mare just waiting to be welcomed to their new lives in Zebrica. Trixie’s crate was probably in here somewhere. Starlight remember they were processed together at the same time. Neither of them expecting so much nudity to be involved. But where was their luggage stored?

Zabella took out her notepad and pencil, flipping to an empty page before staring intently at the pony before her. “First off, tell me, how do you feel?”

“Ummm, well I suppose I felt sleepy a moment ago, but, I guess, not anymore. Heh heh,” Starlight responded. “I feel a little light headed. And I suppose my chest feels a bit... heavier too, or am I just crazy?” Starlight took her own notes as she carefully inspected her own body. She ran her hands alongside the curves of her wobbling breasts, flinching slightly as her fingers grazed over her nipples and an unexpected shock of pleasure coursed through her body. Were her tits… larger now? And more sensitive? The slightest movement appeared to cause them to bounce and jiggle freely on her chest.

Looking down further beyond Starlight noticed her cutie marked butt looked… bouncier, her thighs seemed thicker, and her hips appeared wider. She officially had the hourglass figure that would make Sunburst’s eyes bulge out of their sockets. Well, that was, as soon as that goofball stopped being sick so they could start seeing each other again. Even before Sunburst was wheeled off to the quarantine area by the zebras, it seemed as though he always made plans during the time that should have been their alone time together, but instead, he used to go out with his new zebra pals.

Meanwhile, Zabella was rapidly taking down notes as if she noticed everything Starlight was thinking.

“Hmmm, besides that, I guess certain regions feel a bit sore. Oh, and I suppose I can’t feel my magic,” Starlight noticed, glancing upwards to see the inhibitor ring the zebras had placed was still firmly locked around the base of her horn. She was still kind of unsure why exactly she needed one for the journey. Did the zebras fear that her horn would go off in her sleep and blow a giant hole in the ship?

“Don’t worry, we’ll get that ring off you in a second,” Zabella reassured her as she flipped to a new blank page. “Now, Zuri, could you assist Starlight with the next test? Like we talked about.”

“Of course,” Zuri said with a nod. “Here, Starlight, just lay down, face up, on the carpet here for a moment.” The unicorn quickly compiled, even though she felt as though her body had had enough laying down to last it quite a while. Both mares watched with keen interest as Zuri grasped at both of Starlight’s legs and slowly, but surely, pulled them up, then pushed them back until her ankles were behind her head! It looked as though Starlight was bent in half! “See if you can hold that,” Zuri giggled, letting go of Starlight’s legs.

“Whoa…” Starlight marveled at her body’s own flexibility as she easily held the position without the use of her arms. Not caring that her tight folds were perfectly presented to the two zebra mares before her, as if just waiting for a downward thrust from a thick hard cock to split her open. “I-I don’t remember ever being able to do this! I could barely even touch my toes!”

Zabella smiled proudly to herself as she made a check mark with her pencil. The flexibility potion had been a complete success, as predicted. Well, it better have seeing as it was one of the many standard potions the mares on these ships were all given.

Zuri crouched down in front of the bent pony. Drawing two of her slender fingers she slowly slid them into the slick love canal, using her thumb to gently massage Starlight’s clit.

“Ahhhh…” Starlight let loose an involuntary moan, feeling slightly awkward at first before remembering that zebras didn’t see actions like this as taboo like ponies did. This must simply be a medical screening for them. Zabella checked off a checkmark for both sensitive and tight, a winning combination. Likely a reason for that.

“Tell me, Starlight, have you had sexual intercourse with another man before? Please be truthful. This is for the record.”

“U-uhhh, y-yes. I mean, technically, I have,” Starlight blushed. She always had a sneaking suspicion zebras could tell when others were lying or without information, so she figured she might as well be truthful about everything. “There was this stallion I liked back in Equestria. His name was Sunburst. He was into me, but a bit reluctant and shy to do much about it. I think the naughtiest thing we did together was I gave him a blowjob from underneath a table to try to coax him into doing a bit more… but he just came in my mouth, I swallowed it down, and that was it from him. After your arrival in Equestria, I think Sunburst just lost all interest in me for some reason. He made the excuse for not taking the next step saying there wasn’t any point if we couldn’t have babies. I think his mom really wanted some.”

“I see,” Zeballa spoke as she shot down her notes. She remembered seeing that stallion’s name from the quarantine zone record. Approximately four inches, being generous. “Anything else?”

“Well, most of my action actually came from a pony named, Trixie. She’s a mare, not a stallion.”

“Trixie Lulamoon? Another mare processed and packaged on this vessel, if I recall?”

“That’s right. I usually just snuck out of the castle after everypony was asleep, and we, ummm, m-mostly just liked getting naked and playing around with each other in her wagon late at night.” Now that Starlight thought about it, there was a lot more room in that cramped wagon when they slept together.

“Interesting. But as far as your experience taking a cock in your pussy? And how about in your ass?” Zabella asked plainly.

Starlight blinked at the casual asking of such a lewd question, before remembering they were zebras. “O-oh, I haven’t had that yet. Stallions or otherwise. Trixie had a strap-on, b-but I insisted I save that for after I’ve experienced the real thing for the first time by a guy.”

“Good. And would you happen to know Miss Lulamoon’s status regarding the same thing?”

“S-she hasn’t had that either. She told me. She’s a staunch lesbian.”

“Interesting,” Zeballa noted in her pad, seemingly very intrigued with this latest piece of knowledge. “ Well that should save you two some time when it comes to processing you girls upon our disembarking. So should be enough for now. We need to get above deck for the rest. Zuri, could you please help her up?”

“Alright… come here you pony pretzel…” Zuri giggled as she helped the unicorn to her feet, who had realized she held that pose with little to no effort for all that time. On her way to being untangle Starlight quickly noticed she could even to the splits.

The trio soon exited the cargo hold of the ship as they made their way to the stairs leading above deck. Along the way, Starlight blushed as she overhead a series of strong masculine grunts coming from a few of the cabins. There was, however, a distinct lack of the feminine moans that usually accompanied it. Beyond that, through small cracks in the wooden wall boards, Starlight saw what appeared as glinting pile of gold sitting atop of a hoard of chests. That room was locked tight though, and Starlight really did not really like playing the nosey mare with a hundred questions to annoy the zebras.

Before Starlight could set her eyes on the deck, however, a blindfold was swung over her head and quickly tied, cutting off her vision entirely. “Don’t worry, Starlight,” Zabella reassured the mare. “We just need this for a few more tests. Please don’t try and remove it for now.”

Starlight nodded to herself as Zuri took her hand and slowly lead her up the stairs. Normally, being blindfolded, naked, on a ship with foreigners, and being shipped to a unknown land would have set off at least one red flag in Starlight’s mind. However, Starlight had learned to trust the zebras during their short stay in Equestria. Due, in no small part to, the actions of the princesses of Equestria who seemed to all trust the zebras with their lives. Especially her friend Twilight, who seemed to trust and adore her zebra partner even more than her own mother! Twilight’s mom, on another note, had likewise accepted a zebra mate into her bed and home. One whom she also trusted a good deal. Even if they were a little strange they were just so friendly.

“You weren’t on the program like your friends were you, Starlight?” Zabella asked from behind.

“N-no…” Starlight said shamefully with a tinge of regret. “I knew there was a… problem with our stallions not being able to reproduce with us mares. Everypony knew. Lending our bodies to men who could seemed like a good cause to save us from extinction. And, believe me, my friends all urged me to sign up like they did. But…”

“Yes?”

“You see… Twilight took a really long leave of absence from her school when she joined the program. It really left me to deal with the brunt of the work managing the school. It didn’t help she slashed the school’s budget and her own royal bank account to next to nothing and moved all of the bits to donate to your cause. B-but I’m not blaming anyone for that. It’s a noble cause,” Starlight quickly shot in. “I just couldn’t find the time. Even with Trixie helping out teaching.”

“Oh my, you should have spoken up, Starlight,” Zabella chided. “I’m sure my fellow brothers and sisters would have loved taking a load off on you and assisting with teaching your classes. Free of charge, of course.”

“R-really?” Starlight gasped. Thinking deeper on it, she actually felt a tad foolish, believing that zebra’s were only in Equestria for one purpose only. They were Equestria’s newest friends! Yes, they would have been willing to help out!

“Of course! In fact, the Ponyville school teacher, Ms. Cheerilee, I believe, took a leave of absence from her teaching duties when she acquired a striped partner. I believe, she had to take a lengthy visit to our embassy in Canterlot for a checkup and a series of potions. So, one of our own sisters simply took over her duties and saw to the class herself. I guess, to be fair, the class was entirely fillies at that point, given the sickness going around and the clothes that all needed to be thrown out. But we filled the empty desks with our own colts from Zebrica who were brought over so they could learn more of pony culture. I wasn’t present, but from what I’ve heard, they all got along quite well.”

Starlight was fully regretting her past inaction now, just wondering what amazing things a group of young zebra colts could teach to students like Ocellus, Smolder, and Silverstream.

The trio finally were finally settled in above deck as the blindfold remained. All Starlight could feel was the cold night air, and all she could hear was the crashing of waves and the popping of a vial. “For this next procedure, Starlight, I’m going to need you to drink this. All of it, please,” Zabella insisted, handing Starlight the vial labeled: “Unicorn”. Even though she couldn’t see what it looked like, Starlight obediently followed the request, drinking down the strange tasting liquid without a moment’s hesitation. Several more vials came out now, all of which Starlight was asked to drink. Zabella double checking to ensure every single drop was resting in Starlight’s stomach and not in the vials.

“Good…” Zabella smiled now as a grinning Zuri eagerly lead the blind Starlight over elsewhere.

“Bend over here for me,” Zuri insisted as she helped the unicorn assume the position. Starlight leaned down at an awkward angle until her neck eventually found purchase on a smooth curved wooden surface. She held still as Zuri took and placed her wrists on two smaller ledges on both sides of her head. The shifting of wood was heard as the upper half of the contraption was placed over Starlight and locked into place.

“Can you move, Starlight?” Zabella asked. Starlight struggled briefly in place to no success. She was completely locked in a stock. Meanwhile, Zuri followed up by tugging her ankles apart and locking them into a spreader bar, keeping her feet far apart on the wooden deck. “Good…” Zabella quickly worked and unlocked the inhibitor ring from Starlight’s horn. Then, something slightly unexpected happen. As the ring slid off, a series of involuntary magical sparks shot off from Starlight’s horn. The unicorn mare didn’t even have time to figure why that even happened before the zebra gave her order. “Go ahead and begin, Zuri. As we practiced.”

“With pleasure!” Zuri chirped. “Literally! Because I’m going to… you know? Fine. Whatever… No one gets me.” she groan as she dropped to her knees directly behind the bound mare. She started with a kiss to Starlight’s extra sensitive folds, before sliding her skilled tongue from the top to bottom.

The effect on Starlight hit her in an instant. But, something felt off… She had been given a tongue lashing before from Trixie. But now, the pleasure wasn’t radiating from her folds, but rather, she felt it in her head! An even larger series of color magical sparks were shooting out of her horn now. The fact that her vision was cut off completely only heightened the sensation she experienced. A part of her wanted to ask a huge “why”, but her body demanded she instead to keep her mouth shut and enjoy the ride.

Zuri slowly begin to increase her efforts from behind her, pushing her tongue further into Starlight’s folds, aggressively lapping away at the steady stream of pony love juices that flowed freely now from the horny mare. The unicorn was pushed past the point of moaning as a hand reached up and begin to aggressively grope her drooping udder-like breasts, fondling them like she was just a cow needing to be milked. She was being pushed to the brink, but not a normal orgasm like the thousands she had before… She was building towards something completely different.

“Gooood pony,” Zabella cooed lovingly now into Starlight’s blindfolded heartstruck eyes. “Don’t hold anything back from us now. Let it all flow free…”

“Y-yes….” Starlight moaned lustfully. She tried desperately to buck her hips, to push Zuri in deeper. But her restraints held her still. She was completely at the mercy of whatever her two zebras handlers were doing to her.

“Milk her harder, Zuri,” she ordered. “I can tell this one enjoys her breasts played with. Another note for later. The younger zebra responded with the increased groping of their captive’s rack, followed by a moan that bordered on a scream. It seemed as though they had just started, and yet, Starlight was felt her body was quick approaching a soul shaking orgasm, even if it was pleasure radiating to her head. It felt truly wonderful. Even more magical sparks were shooting from the tips of Starlight’s horn in a panicked, uncontrollable display.

“Ah ah ah,” Zabella chided playfully. “No cumming yet, dear. You’re going to hold it all in until it’s ready.” Starlight nodded, coming from the brink of orgasm as if her own body was compelled to follow the lithe zebra's commands.

Zabella leaned in next, extending her horn tongue as she lovingly ran it along Starlight’s extra sensitive horn. Continuing the sexual torture in the cruelest of fashions.

“F-fuck!” Starlight moaned, still without half of an idea of what was going on. All she knew was she loved it. A lot.

“Shhhh, not yet,” Zabella repeated. Each time Starlight’s body compiled, edging her on further. “Hold it all in until you’re ready.”

To Starlight, it felt as though she was locked in place for an eternity, being subject to a ruthless tongue lashing torture from her zebra captives. Zuri continued lapping away at her quivering folds like her arousal was the tastiest substance in the world, not once losing her eagerness or energy in hopes of getting Starlight off. Even though it was only the zebra’s first time doing this to her, it was like she knew the insides and out of her body like the back of her hand. Zabella, on the other hand, continued to give Starlight a treasured hornjob she would not soon forget. Soft and delicate with her horn, and yet strict and firm. Knowing exactly how to treat her sensitive appendage. Not even Trixie was as good with her hands! And all while ruthlessly being forced to hold back from her heavenly orgasm.

“I think you’re ready,” Zabella cooed, noticing the magical sparks shooting from Starlight’s horn was more of a steady stream now. “Do you want to cum, pony?”

“Y-y-yes!!” Starlight panted like a true bitch in heat. In this one small moment of time, there was only one thing and one thing only Starlight’s body, mind, and soul, and desired. “P-please, let me cum!!”

Zabella drew something from the side. A large empty glass flask. She positioned the open end at the tip of Starlight’s horn. “Then cum! Cum harder than you ever have before!” the zebra mare exclaimed with both authority and lust in her voice as she gave the order the unicorn was all too eager to comply. Starlight gave her loudest horniest moan yet as her body shook in their restraints that held her securely in place. But rather than gushing her juices like a normal climax, the pleasure overflowed from her forehead and Starlight shot out her magic through the tip of her horn!

“There we go….” Zabella lovingly cooed as the concentrated stream of pony magic splashed into the flask and begin to fill like a sparkling light blue liquid. Zuri doubled the vigorous efforts of her tongue on Starlight’s cunt, bringing forth an increased stream of magical essence from the madly moaning Starlight. “There’s a gooood pony… Let it all out now. Every single drop,” Zabella moaned as she stroked off Starlight’s horn, coaxing out every bit of magical essence the unicorn mare had to give. “Such a gooood little naughty pony….” Each small stroke of her horn milked a small burst of liquid out. Starlight wasn’t holding back. She couldn’t hold back! Her striped mistress was adamant in the matter of not wanting a single spark of energy left behind.

The flow magic eventually slowed it’s pace, from a torrent, to a steady stream, to a tickling series of drops. But even that didn’t bring the slightest pause to her pleasuring zebras who seemed to know exactly what they were doing.

Finally, after what seemed ages, the last trickle of Starlight’s magic flowed into the flask. Slowly, Starlight’s own cutie mark began to vanish from sight, leaving her new plump butt as empty as any blank flank’s. The two zebras nodded to each other as they took that as a sign to stop.

“My, my, my,” Zabella gasped in her playful tone as she admired nearly filled flask of light blue liquid she swirled around. “I’m quite impressed you had so much! Most ponies don’t even give us anywhere near half of this.”

“M-my magic…” Starlight panted, still recovering from the most powerful, and, strangest orgasm of her young life. It seemed as though it came at quite the expense. She could feel it was gone. Her concentrated magical essence had somehow been extracted from her in liquid form! Appearing as though being in that state of matter prevented it from promptly shooting back to her like it had before. Was this the result of that strange tasting potion they gave her? Starlight tried to use her horn. Nothing happened, not so much as a spark, let alone it lighting up. It was the same as though Tirek had sucked it all out of her.

“Shhhhh, it’s okay, dear. Everything’s alright.” Zabella softly comforted the mare with a pat on the head as she popped a cork in the flask, sealing it securely shut. “This had to be done before our arrival in the homeland. And we couldn’t tell you beforehand, else you may have tried to resist our efforts, involuntary or not.”

“But why?” Starlight asked as Zuri released the unicorn from her restraints with a smack of her lips. Her blindfold was also finally removed.

“During our sail, we received word from Zebrica that our previous security measures on you girls was... insufficient,” Zuri said as Zabella tossed the inhibitor ring towards her in the air before catching it. “It occurred to the guy’s up the ladder that maybe the ones responsible for the plague that afflicted the Equestrian stallions is in fact, a mare, or a group of mares, using their pony magic. Perhaps it was all just a conspiracy to lure us to your land. So, for our safety, and yours as well, in the hopes something like that doesn’t happen again here, we were ordered to drain all of you ponies of your magic before you’re allowed to set foot on the mainland.”

“Do not worry though,” Zabella issued calmly, placing the full flask of concentrated Starlight magic into a square container next to bunch of similar shaped flasks in a wide array of different colors. "All of it will be returned when you girls return to Equestria. But in the meantime, we will be holding onto Equestrian’s magic supply for safe keeping away from you all. The princess’s themselves signed off on this measure, and even allowed us permission to study your magic before allowing themselves to likewise be drained. Though I overheard it was still quite challenging for the zebra women in charge to get it all out of them…”

Starlight rubbed her tender wrists as she stood up, finally free from both her restraints and binds. She didn’t like being separated from her magic, but she did reason they were all desperate guests in Zebrica. The zebras could set whatever rule for them they wanted. Besides, the zebras promised they would take care of them all, it wasn’t like their magic was a necessity for survival anymore. The funny thing being that the old Starlight would have loved the idea of everypony being equal.

As Starlight glanced around the ship’s deck though, she noticed the scene behind her. There were a dozen pony mares all scattered around the deck in various haphazard positions. Unlike Starlight, all of them were sound asleep in a lengthy peaceful slumber. However, like Starlight, all of them were as naked as the day they were born. All of them had likewise, been stripped of their clothes, magic, and cutie marks. The pegasus still had their wings, but they were now just for show and they could no longer use them to fly. The earth pony mares had neither their strength nor their muscles at this point. Their once well defined limbs and torso were now seen as perfectly smooth and featureless.

“Yeah… uh, sorry about the mess,” Zuri sighed with a scratch of her head. “Some of the sailors like to take you girls out of your containers to check up on them. But those lazy bums all went to sleep without putting them away. We’re probably going to have to clean up after them. Again...” Starlight noticed a faint trickle of thick white semen flowing downwards from various abused holes in the lewd pile of bodies. They looked almost peaceful in their slumber. Almost tranquil. Content. Wait...

“In case you’re wondering, no, that doesn’t happen to you, Starlight, while you are out,” Zabella issued before the unicorn could speak up. “Those mares are all on the program, and have trained their bodies towards being able to take anything our experts can dish out. They can easily take a bunch of seamen.”

“Oh…” Starlight breathed a sigh of both relief and… envy? Was she actually jealous of mares who were being used in such a way?

“And don’t worry,” Zabella continued, as if the mare herself could read Starlight’s thoughts. “You may have not joined the program in Equestria, but it will be continuing well into your stay in Zebrica. Always looking for selfless mare volunteers to do the right thing...”

“Well, that’s about all we had planned for you,” Zuri continued. “We could give you the potion that’ll put you back to sleep. Or… if you want… you could stay up and-” The zebra was promptly interrupted by a tapping on her shoulder and a firm head shake by her mentor. “Right,” Zuri corrected, remembering the notes from before, “I guess it’s straight back to bed with you.”

“T-that’s fine by me,” Starlight said as she stumbled slightly on the deck, still slightly dizzy from her recent climax but more so from the one reason she hated sailing. “Could we make that quick, please? B-before I get seasick.”

“Of course,” Zabella said as she gestured for the now powerless unicorn to follow her below deck again. As the zebra passed by one of the crew’s sleeping quarters she gazed inside the door that had drifted open. The male zebras appeared to be treating the perpetually sleeping mares as oversized teddy bears. One of the napping crew member had two positioned pressed in and cuddling him on both sides. Another mare slept soundly on top of him, her bosom pancaking into the zebra’s own chest, along with the zebra’s still erect member locked into the mare’s pussy. The exposed portion of his towering rod still covered with a mixture of cum and the mare’s juices. The last mare was positioned behind him, the sleeping zebra apparently using the mare’s newly enlarged pillowy tits as actual pillows! Zabella rolled her eyes before pushing the door closed before Starlight could see the unprofessional display of conduct.

As the trio walked back into massive cargo hold of the ship, Starlight gave another passing gaze at the number of wooden crates. “You have to do the same thing to all the mares in these crates?”

“Yeah, it’s a lot of work for all of them. But not like there’s much else to do on a voyage this long. Besides, they shouldn’t have nearly as much magic as you. That’s mostly just for the unicorns that have a lot of power to pump out. Not so much pegasus or earth ponies. So we can keep them asleep while making them orgasm to trigger the potion's effect, thus ensuring total and complete magical drain from them,” Zuri beamed. “I don’t think there’s anyone else in the entire world who has more experience giving oral sex to a sleeping mare than your’s truly!”

“Well, there are the helpful assistants on the other boats, Zuri,” Zabella chided with a smile. “All of the Equestrian mares need to be completely drained, after all. Even the princesses. Ourselves and the other groups tend to work at night, where the risk of being distracted by the crew, are minimal.”

“Well yeah,” Zuri shrugged. “They all use Zabella’s potions, but they rarely know anything about the knowledge that goes into crafting them! Do you know how hard it was to craft something that can remove a pony’s magic?!”

“Hush, Zuri!” Zaballe scolded. “Let’s not bore our pony friend with the details. Beside’s Zecora provided most of the research...”

“Fine,” Zuri shrugged helplessly at Starlight before giving the mare a sly wink.

“Drink this,” Zabella said, offering a familiar colored potion to Starlight once more. “It’ll put you back to sleep again. And the next time you awake, we will all finally be in Zebrica. Your new home.” The unicorn quickly obliged before she could get anymore seasick. The potion quickly began to work through her system as the two zebra mare helped Starlight climb back into her surprisingly cozy container. Her head hit the pillow as the lid slid back over her crate, shrouding her in darkness as it was securely locked into position.

Starlight smiled to herself, folding her hands together over her stomach as she prepared to let the potion work it’s magic on her. She eventually drifted off into unconsciousness, wondering what amazing things, places, and zebras awaited her and her friends in this new exotic land. The adventure of a lifetime! After a moment, Starlight was out, just like every other mare stored on the ship.

“I like her! She was fun!” Zuri beamed happily as the two zebras worked to slowly slide Starlight’s crate back into position with the others.

“No arguments here,” Zabella replied, using her pencil as she scribbled down some adjustments on the file attached to Starlight’s crate. “She’s headed to a good home that will take wonderful care of her. She will be happy there. Her life with be her own.”

“Alrighty then, who should we do next? My tongue’s just getting warmed up!” Zuri asked as she moved from stacked crate to crate, looking over the files on each one for a mare they had not yet drained of their magic. “How about… this one!” She called out to her mentor as she spotted one. “Wait… that’s one funny looking mare. With another funny looking name.”

Zabella walked over to the crate the young zebra was pointing to. She grinned as she saw the picture of the subject inside. “That,” she spoke with a smile, “my young apprentice, is the most important pony on this ship. And we will not be draining their magic.”

“Really?” Zuri asked, thinking her mentor was joking, she she rarely did. “More important than Twilight Sprinkle’s own personal protégé?”

“You will learn more of them later when we get home. Come, let us find another,” Zabella ordered as she walked off to another section of wooden containers.
