Present Day

I was quite limp while being extracted from the pit. My body coated with slimy goo, and sexual juices, some from the mass of tentacles I'd spent several hours at the mercy of every night. Thankfully the portal was set up so that my room was usually outside their reach. The trap door only opening at bedtime to drop me in and then opening again when it was time for Melody to use the mechanical tentacles that she controlled to fish me out again.

The trap door sealed shut once I was clear before Melody set me down so that my hooves touched the floor. After a stretch to work out any kinks my night with the tentacles had left me with, I made my way into the bathroom and bee-lined for the shower.

Yesterday had been Funday, which meant today was Monday. Funday was the one day a week I was required to take a bath immediately after washing off the fluids from the pit. After the bath where I'd have to soak for while in semen I wouldn't be allowed to wash again until it was Monday. It was also the day I'd spend eight hours stripped of any clothing or toy stuck in stocks while anyone and everyone who went by to have a chance of playing with me.

In short, I'd end up positively filthy by bedtime, and likely the only reason I haven't gotten pregnant was due to Mother's insistence that I am on the pill since my Contract didn't forbid it, and I didn't have any mods that made it ineffective.

If it wasn't for the sexual fluids of others I likely wouldn't have to take showers at all. My body was highly optimized to the point I'd likely be able to get away without needing a bathroom at all. At least if others weren't so determined to get me absolutely filthy on a regular basis. Still the feel of water cascading down my body as I rubbed the special body wash shampoo I needed to clean my fur was good enough that I'd probably shower just for the pleasure of it alone.

Also didn't hurt that the mirrors in here let me have a chance to get a good look at my own body. A well-toned lavender form that my viewers seemed to really enjoy. My breasts were currently at their default size when filled with milk, Cs slowly edging into Ds. An ass that attracted slaps like flies to honey, and legs that ended in hooves rather than feet. Thankfully my arms ended in hands so I can use them and not have to rely on others for every little thing.

One thing that always puzzled me was how they managed to get the tattoos on my hips to show on or maybe through my fur. A slightly darker lavender six-pointed star over a white one, and surrounded by a few smaller ones. My hair was long and a dark shade of purple with both lavender and pink stripes going down the middle with them parting around my horn at the bangs. My tail, of course, matched my hair with the same stripes lined up perfectly with each other.

One thing I found amusing though was my eyes also matched, on the side with the lavender stripe my eye was the same shade, on the side with the pink stripe again my eye was the same shade as the stripe. Of course with all that hair and fur it took a combination of a towel and blow-drying to get rid of the moisture leftover.

Melody was, of course, waiting by my bed by the time I had finished, dressed in a pair of shorts and a tank top she'd no doubt gotten from my closet. We both had the same default dimensions and body type and given she was pretty much a highly advanced sexbot, I had no problem with her sharing my clothes. I had plenty, plus she looked quite cute in them. Even with her multicolored music note tattoos were half-hidden by the shorts.

And like always we shared a kiss that had our tongues dancing together before I smirked at her. "Mmm. Morning Sis, are you here to help me get ready for the day?"

She nodded with a smile. "Yes Mistress, there have been some schedule changes for today though."

I arched a brow at her as I leaned over the edge of my bed, shifting my tail to one side as she moved behind me. "Oh?" I let out a soft moan as she fitted my lower holes with the plugs I loved so much. They quickly expanded to leave me feeling pleasantly full.

"Your work time slot has been switched to an appointment at the Main Office." She placed a black ball onto my back which collapsed into a mass of tendrils before they began to wrap around my body. Crossing in such a way that when they were finished it looked like I was wearing what has become my trademark black leotard. I just loved the feel of those tendrils as they ran through my fur and slid against my skin.

"My ratings haven't dropped have they?" I asked concerned as I straightened up so I could step into my chastity belt. It was a valid question considering, I hated the idea of disappointing either my fans or my caseworker to the point she needed to spank me.

"No Mistress, I think it has something to do with it being your birthday."

My birthday? Oh damn, I forgot. Due to my lack of memories from before the Show, it had been decided that my birthday would be the day I first woke up and met my family starting with Melody. That meant it was also the anniversary of my show. How many years had it been?

Well, they had me start physically as a ten-year-old, making me be the youngest of the family. Melody had been physically sixteen when I first met her and had stopped aging when she'd hit twenty-four. The same had held for each of my three other older sisters.

Secret Surprise, who loved to spill nearly all my secrets had started at two years older than me. Admittedly she like the rest of the family hadn't been pony morphs like Melody and me at first. Secret had originally gone by the name Cassie. And I had to play with her for ten hours every Thursday. It had been a surprise when she had one day returned home as a dark-haired and furred unicorn trying to get used to her new hooves.

The twins Sunny Breeze and Sweet Delights were two years older than Secret, looked both completely identical and completely different at the same time. Sunny had been an Angel who decided it would be fun to go bright-colored pegasus. While Sweet had been a Succubus who had thought a dark bat pony look would be much more fun.

I never really got to learn what their original names had been as both had insisted I call them Mistress on the days I played with them each in turn. It was only after they decided they two would also be my older sisters that they let me call them anything else.

Nick and Valerie, the couple who had originally been selected to be my parents at the start of the show also decided to become Unicorn morphs at one point. They had been unable to have kids before the show and desperately wanted me as their daughter, only to get tickled pink as the other girls who lived with us also ended up their daughters. They've since started calling themselves Night and Velvet when at home since they still go by their original names at work.

Pretty much the only one who isn't a pony morph in my home now is Crystal the little Fairy that lives with us. She pretty much spends her time as a fashion designer when not hanging out, or trying to convince my sisters or me to be her models.

My mouth closed around the gag that was normally hidden behind my mask as Melody fastened it into place. She didn't inflate it or attach the mask yet due to how close it was to breakfast time. Still had to have it in my mouth most of the time. It did help keep me from embarrassing myself with moans when she pushed back the tendrils covering my breasts to attach the milking cups.

I let out a happy sigh of relief as the pressure I felt in my breasts began to decrease as all my milk was being sucked out. No doubt those watching saw my pupils turn into pink hearts a different shade from what my eye normally was.

As I was distracted by being milked Melody slid special stocking up my legs. They covered mid-thigh down to just before my hooves. It was pretty much impractical for me to wear regular shoes which meant I technically was always walking around barefoot.

Given that it was Monday that meant it was Mommy and Daddy's day to spend time with me, and as per their wishes I was soon fitted with a pleated skirt and a white blouse. The blouse didn't get buttoned up though until after every last drop of milk was drained. That was followed by a tie that matched my hair as well as a simple jacket that was buttoned shut. A pair of fake glasses would be slid onto my nose and my hair pulled back into a ponytail.

By the time Melody and I were done, I looked like I was still a sexy schoolgirl, specifically the naughty nerd I had been. Sure as of today I was now physically twenty, but my parents still wanted me to be their precious little girl. Who was I to deny them?


Breakfast was a family affair, it was the one time of day when all of my family were guaranteed to be in one spot. All other times depending on the day, they would be scattered pursuing their passions. Officially I owned the apartment for the duration of the show and they were all merely my roommates.

Apparently despite it being all red and pink latex in the common areas as well as my bedroom. I had opted for all the options when it came to where I'd live as far as the layout was concerned. So even though I was on the Replicator, we still had a full kitchen that could be used to make our meals.

My mother was already up by the time I joined her, sharing a hug and quick nuzzle before we started about making breakfast. My helping her had given us a bit of Mother-Daughter bonding time that I enjoyed immensely. At least once we got my cooking skills to the point I no longer lit water on fire by accident. The funny part was my kitchen mishaps had been quite popular while they lasted, yet my caseworker had come and spanked me after the fourth time we had to replace the stove.

Now, however, I could be trusted to be able to cook well so long as I either had the recipe memorized or had a cookbook available. Still, though cooking well took quite a bit of focus, and one ear perked for any instructions Mother decided to give.

So I missed when Father showed up, no doubt giving her the kiss he always gave her. I only became aware of his presence when I felt his hands on my waist before they slid up to squeeze my breasts while his lips pressed against the side of my neck. "Good Morning Princess. Rest well?" If my nipples hadn't been hard already from my special leotard, then they likely would have hardened at the sound of his voice.

Yes, Daddy. I gave a blushing nod making sure not to drop the pan I was holding. Nearly biting the gag as his hands then wandered before Mother handed him his coffee and he left the kitchen. Smug bastard did that every morning, and like every morning it would take several deep breaths through my nose before I was able to resume my task.

Eventually, Mother and I would be finished and the food would be set on the table. I would be strapped into a chair that left me immobilized. While my family would dig in Melody would pour 'special sauce' all over my food, before proceeding to feed it to me as if I were a baby. I'd barely have a chance to chew or swallow before the next bit of food was pushed in my mouth.

It prevented me from talking during mealtime, the only sounds I tended to make were half-muffled moans from the taste. Much like how Sweet Delight insisted on drinking a glass of my milk every morning, the sauce coating my breakfasts were always provided by my Father. He had a very distinct taste, so I always knew when it was his cum I was consuming or not.

One of the nice rules of our Home, was if you were the cook, you didn't have to clean the dishes. Which when combined with it being Monday meant that my sisters were the ones who ended up having to clean up once we had all finished. While they did that Melody slipped my gag back into my mouth, before it was inflated to fill my mouth. Puffing my cheeks out cutely before the mask was snapped into place and pushed them back into their normal shape.

It would be only then that the straps holding me to my chair would be released allowing me to head to the living room where my Father had retreated to watch the Morning News. The only noise came from the Television and the clop of my hooves on the hardwood as I made my way to where he was lounging on the couch.

Hi Daddy.

He glanced at me and smiled. "Hello Princess, come to keep your old man company?"

I gave a nod, which caused him to shift on the couch and give me room to join him. Before I sat though, his hands reached up under my skirt to unclasp and pull down my chastity belt. Stepping out of it I settled down next to him, my bottom pressed firmly against his lap and the rest of my back against his chest. My jacket loosened a bit and his hand ended up idly playing with my breast as we learned about yesterday's highlights.

The latest bitchy Magical Girl got captured by her nemesis and was now being forced to help him against the very girls she kept snubbing all the time. It confused me as to why would they take that job if they didn't intend to do it right? Considering how many manuals and guide books there were on the subject you would think that they would do a bit of research.

Daddy, Melody told me I'll be going to the Main Office later today. Any idea why?

"Well, it is your birthday Princess, which means your Contract is up." He replied giving me a pleasant squeeze and a light kiss in my hair. "So you'll likely be meeting to find out what happens next."

Oh.

That was going to be strange, especially given I was never told just which reward I had picked. I hoped it had not been New Game Plus. Given that would have meant starting over again as a little girl and having to go through puberty again. And as much as I enjoyed playing with my family, I also hoped that I had not taken the Sex Slave or Here Forever options.

It would be nice to be able to go without restrictions anymore. The yearly vacations where I could do whatever I wanted were something I looked forward to every year. Still, hopefully, I could keep -

My thoughts halted as the hand not teasing my breast slid under my skirt, pushed through the tendrils, and began to play with my naughty little slit. His fingers deflated and extracted one of the toys filling me, before replacing it with themselves. My eyes couldn't help but partially roll back as I arched in response.

I could feel the hardness growing against my bubble butt, no doubt that pony cock of his would soon be poking out of his shorts and end up pressed against my back as his fingers worked to stretch my ever tight depths. Not that I objected given the only thing keeping my moans quiet was the gag in my mouth. Much like my Mother, I had ended up addicted to Daddy's cock. Especially after he went full-on with his pony morph.

His hand slid from my wet slit to grab my leg pulling it up before I'd feel it. The flathead as it pressed against me. The tendrils retracted out of the way leaving me exposed as with a long slow thrust he pushed into me.

Once he started he did not stop until his thick balls were pressed against the back of my thighs. Through my blouse and lower half of my jacket, my viewers could see the bulge from being filled so completely. It was funny how Daddy always made me look pregnant when we played together, yet Mommy made sure I wouldn't be birthing any of my own younger siblings.

That didn't stop her from enjoying the sight of me being pushed back and forth with Daddy's thrusts. She was after all my number one fan, watching every time anyone played with me. No doubt she was watching now even though I didn't see her in the room. One of the perks of having every moment of your life on camera.

Daddy though, loved making me writhe in his lap as he bounced me up and down his length. Knowing that people were watching when he undid my blouse and exposed my breasts to the world. The tendrils retreating from them so that his fingers slid through the fur just barely hiding my hard little nubs.

I was never allowed to touch him with my own hands when we played, those had to be kept at my sides, fingers curled into fists as I panted around my gag. My juices coating that dark flesh as he pushed me higher and higher. It would be ten hours before he'd use his remote and let me finally cum.


I tightened the straps of my gag, feeling it re-inflate pressing my cheeks against the inside of my mask I finished the last task scheduled before I'd have to head off to my appointment. I was currently clad in only my leotard and chastity belt. My legs still slightly shook from how enthusiastic Daddy had been today, he'd left me filthy enough that I'd needed another shower after I'd recovered enough to walk again.

Still, that left me unable to wear what I wore this morning when I left the apartment as my schoolgirl uniform was now in my laundry basket. Once inside my closet, though I paused unable to settle on just what I wanted to wear given all the choices I had to pick from.

Even though today wasn't the day of the week where it was required a mental command had a poll appear with the title. 'What should Mirror Flash wear?' It had a five-minute timer counting down before the voting would close again. No doubt I had likely sparked a raging debate among my viewers even as votes started coming in.

Hopefully, things would not devolve into a flame war. That had happened a few times over the years, only ended by my looks of teary-eyed disappointment when Melody would inform me about it. Sad puppy eyes were even more effective on a ponygirl than one would expect, or maybe it was just me.

When the counter hit zero I glanced to the corner of my vision where the results were shown, before giving a smile with just my eyes as it seemed today my viewers were getting along enough to help me without issue. The outfit they picked was fairly simple if form-fitting.

Wiggling into black leather pants was an experience, especially when you have fur and a body that is very sensitive when aroused. And thanks to my leotard, I was usually always aroused. Next was the matching jacket that I zipped up until just under my breasts. The last item they picked caused me to pause a moment before turning to look at the case it was kept in when not in use.

It had been dubbed the Rainbow Belt by my fans after an old cartoon, and apparently, they wanted to see me in it today. I didn't wear it all that often, but I've had it for as long as I could remember. It was the one piece of clothing I was explicitly forbidden from wearing when I was with my Saturday Owners.

I opened the case before lifting it into view. The belt itself wasn't anything special, it was the seven gems embedded in it that gave it both its name and the restrictions that went with it. Six of them looked identical in shape and cut with only the seventh being different. Each gem was a different color quite literally from a Rainbow, hence the name it had been given.

The seventh gem though was a perfect match in shape and color to the star that was the centerpiece of my hip tattoos. That one was attached over the buckle and thus tended to sit just under my navel whenever I wore it. One reason I rarely wore it and why it had restrictions is because it was an insanely powerful magic amplifier, and had innate magic that was intrinsically hostile to Things From Beyond.

I'm just glad it stopped reacting to Sweet when the two of us became sisters. Still, while the Main Office had made the belt holding the gems, I'd already had the gems with me when I became a Contestant. Old Me had a been very tight-lipped about them, beyond the fact she made it part of the Contract that they had to stay in my possession.

I could feel the tingle run through my body as the belt was snapped about my hips before I made my way out. I grabbed my board as I made my way onto the balcony attached to my room. Taking a deep breath of sweet fresh air, before with a hidden smirk I vaulted over the railing.

The rush of free-falling hit me as I twisted in the air to get my hooves to lock into the board. Speed increasing with each story I passed. Of course, I kept one eye locked onto the altimeter that popped into my vision when I had jumped.

At one thousand meters, I had both hooves locked into the specially made slots in the board. At eight hundred I'd angled myself so the board was a few feet away from the building I was falling from. I'd then crouched to lower my wind resistance and fall even faster.

Six hundred meters is when the board activated giving me significantly more control as I continued to drop. The altimeter numbers dropping faster and faster the closer I got to the ground. One might wonder why I was doing this, rather than take the elevator as I tended to prefer.

The Rainbow Belt had a few quirks that only became apparent when it was worn. Each gem except the one beneath my navel either required or induced certain personality traits in the one wearing the belt. The large one though seemed to balance the rest so I didn't end up going from one extreme to another.

There were times I suspected the gems all had minds of their own based on those traits. For instance, the one influencing me right now seemed 'happiest' when I acted like a daredevil speed freak adrenaline junkie. Occasionally giving in to the impulses the gems caused kept them 'happy' and made it easier for me to use them when I needed to.

The Altimeter hit ten meters before I shifted my weight to bring the board under met. Forcing its systems to compensate for the change in direction, I'd be down to one meter above the ground by the time I leveled out and shot down the path to the streets of the city.

I started to steer myself to the nearest transit station while I activated the GPS route to the Main Office only to blink when the route skipped it. A check on my restrictions showed Bypass over two specific ones that tended to crop up whenever I had to go somewhere by myself.

Well, that was a nice change of pace for once, rather than taking the train I redirected my bath to the city limits. Now normally when I get a bypass, I'd take the first teleporter I could find. However given I was wearing the Belt, had another option. My board normally had a top speed of two hundred miles per hour when not under the effects of free fall.

Falling from high enough let me exceed that at times, but eventually the excess speed would bleed off until eventually, I'd be at the speeds the Board was designed for. However, with the Belt, I could be a cheater who cheats. Still to keep the gems that encouraged being nice and helping others happy I had to wait till I was outside the city before I did so. Not to mention it kept the City Officials happy with having me live there.

Once I was clear, however, I focused on the gem that had caused me to jump, to begin with, before filling myself with the NEED to go FASTER. The large gem began to glow first before the rest pulsed and glowed as well. The magic flowing through both me and my Board, before with a very loud boom I went from a mere two hundred miles an hour to hypersonic in ten seconds flat.

I'm told I tend to leave a glowing contrail the color of my hair and tail whenever I do this, leaving behind a glowing ring of magic in matching colors at the point where I break the sound barrier. I have no clue why it causes that effect, I just know that it is exhilarating going at these speeds. I'm able to also go much higher when like this and make turns that shouldn't be possible.

I blame the impossibilities on Magic, the things it can do are just bullshit. The fact it lets me keep pace with a bullet train going across the planet only cements that fact. One would think with the ability to use magic Old Me would have picked Magical Girl as my job. However, I suspect it was too similar to the life she had before as she'd chosen the one where it guaranteed she would get laid.

Not that I had any evidence beyond the Belt and the gems it contained. I had practically no information of who I had been before becoming a Contestant. Just that I had been female and in such bad shape they had needed to build me an entirely new body before transferring my soul into it.

Even at the speeds, I was going, it took me a couple of hours to reach the Main Office. It wasn't just one single office building. It was an entire Arcology, one dedicated to producing one thing. Erotic Entertainment. Their research and development were here, as well as housing for all the support staff they needed. And yes it had the offices needed to administrate both itself and all the Contestants they currently had on the roster.

It was connected to the rest of the planet by a single bullet line, as well as teleporters. I bled off-speed and magic as soon as it came into view. By the time I reached the external security gate, I was just within the upper-speed limits imposed for the area around the Arcology. It required me to come to skid to a stop before the automated security booth.

Thankfully I managed to stop in time, which made me quite happy. There were a few times where I had not where I ended up crashing into the booth. Given it was built to withstand much than a girl slamming into it at high speed one could guess the results. I ended up needing my limbs reattached more than once.

The booth scanned me the moment confirming my ID, my appointment authorizing me to be here, and that I was not carrying anything I was not supposed to. A flash signaled both the completion of that as well as my being transported to my destination.

My caseworker was very attractive and looked close to my current age. Admittedly she likely had a few hidden mods given she looked the same as the day I first met her. Dark flowing hair, dusky skin, and she always wore the same blouse and slacks whenever I saw her. She also always had a dark crescent moon pinned to her blouse's collar.

Hello Luna.

She smiled as I sat in the chair before her desk. "Hello Mirror, let me get that for you." She gestured for me to lean forward and when I did she removed both my mask and gag.

"Thanks." I smiled after working my jaw a bit before settling back in my seat. "As much as I like the mask, the gag can get annoying at times."

"If you like we can get you a version without the gag after we finish." She replied with an enigmatic smile as she adjusted the placement of a few folders on her desk. "Now let me wish you a very Happy Birthday. Since you've been with us ten years your Contract as a few last details that need to be handled before your time with us as a Contestant is over."

"Which are?"

"Your memories from before you joined the Slut Life family. Back when it was written up, you originally wanted to forget everything permanently. However, we managed to convince you to take Dissonance and gain the credits in another way. Which considering those gems and what little we were able to find out about you will likely be a good thing."

"I thought background checks tended to be very thorough."

"They are but it tends to be a bit more difficult when you're dealing with the last survivor of a dead world." She sighed softly. "Especially one as clearly traumatized as you were when we first met." She meant when she met Old Me rather than when I remember meeting her.

"Those memories are going to be painful, aren't they?"

"Most likely, but they are still who you were and are. Whether you use Mirror Flash or your old name is up to you once they are restored." She bit her lower lip before continuing. "Plus those memories will likely help with a situation that has come up."

I arched a brow in question. "We've detected a single life sign in your old world. We don't know how it got there, however."

"Just that something alive is now stuck there?"

"Exactly."

"Fuck it. Let's get it done."

She nodded and quickly walked me through the final paperwork. In the section about the reward, I learned let me keep the family I'd made as Mirror Flash. Then came the very convoluted process of removing the restrictions I'd been living under, something I'd gone through before for my vacations.

"Really?" I asked staring at the last piece of paper I was given written in my handwriting.

"It was the password she picked for the memory restoration."

I sighed before speaking that single word. "Godslayer."

The memories flooded in, Old Me's life passing before my eyes as fast as I could process them. It wasn't all bad thankfully but I couldn't help the tears that streamed down my cheeks. My heart feeling as if it was breaking as I watched a world burn all over again.

I had won the battle but lost the war. I had failed to save those who needed salvation. Even with the help of my Mentor, my only and truest friend back then, sacrificing himself to hold that Madmare in place so that I could finally use the Elements to stop her once and for all.

In the end, she had been stopped but I'd been left alone, a world filled with nothing but ashes around me. Only a last spell cast on me by my dear friend when I hadn't been looking brought me to this world.

For the first time in a decade, Twilight Sparkle, Battle Magus, Former Princess of the Solar Imperium opened her eyes and wept at the loss of the world she failed to save.

A world where a single life sign had been detected.

My eyes narrowed in determination as that thought alone allowed me to pull myself together far faster than I would have otherwise. I likely didn't have time to break down at the moment. "When was the life detected?"

"A few years ago and then only briefly. We plan to time-shift you to shortly after it had arrived."

I nodded before rising once more. "Then let's get it done."


Things had not gone to plan when she'd tumbled out of the portal it hadn't spat her out of the Mirror she had passed through the last time. Instead, it had been another copy of the Statue, one half-buried in black ash. Once she had gotten her hooves under her and was it nice to be able to walk on all four legs again. She took the stock of her surroundings.

Nothing had been like what she had expected to find. What few structures she could find looked as if they had been charred by immense heat. What stones that weren't outright melted were blackened and cracked. Not to mention the black ash was simply everywhere making it somewhat difficult to breathe.

She first tried to find anypony who could explain what had happened but found nothing. Did not help that neither the Sun nor Moon were in the sky leaving everything in darkness. Forcing her to use a half-remembered light spell just to be able to see anything.

It would only be a few hours before the shaken mare made her way back to the Statue and attempted to go back through the portal. Only to smack her head into the hard stone.

The portal was gone, no matter how she struck at it, or shot spells at it. The portal remained firmly closed. Eventually, though it would sink in that she was stuck here unable to go back at least for now. So she set out to search again, this time not just for somepony, anypony else, but for food and water.

She found nothing. Just more broken stones, and the black ash that seemed to get everywhere. There were no trees, no grass, or animals. There was no life here as far as she could see thanks to the light at the end of her horn. She made it down what her memories said had been Mount Canterlot to the ruined remains of some kind of town.

A few of the stone buildings were intact, the architecture unlike anything ponies would have made. All straight angles, even the streets were perfectly straight, with no curves everything seemed to set as if to some invisible grid. Inside one she thought might have been the town hall she'd find a clue that maybe she'd ended up in the wrong place.

A partially broken bust, one with the words, 'The Empress is Always Watching' engraved on the base. Fitting the pieces together she would be shocked to recognize Princess Celestia's face. If only wearing that stern expression her former mentor had when she had been caught trying to learn forbidden magics. Yet she wouldn't be able to shake an almost sinister quality that she couldn't just place.

Shaken even more the young mare left that building, and ash filled town as quickly as she could only to find a massive crater where she would have sworn the Everfree Forest should have been. Her rump just hit the ground as she stared in shock at the clear sign that some massive and very destructive spell had gone off sometime in the past.

It would only be as her spell started to flicker that she would notice that her reserves weren't replenishing like they were supposed to. Puzzled she extended her senses to try to feel the flow of magic only to come to a startling discovery. There was none, no ambient magic to draw from. Only that which she had possessed on arrival. And that was rapidly diminishing by the moment.

Just as she was starting to feel the true terror of her situation...

A loud and very large explosion of magic rocked her nearly off her hooves. Her attention snapped to the source as floating above the epicenter of the crater was a rapidly expanding ball of light that was giving off massive waves of magic and wind.

A cyclone of black ash rose then blew outward nearly burying her before she took cover behind a broken wall. The winds soon subsided allowing the unicorn to poke her head over the wall. Lavender wings would be the first thing she'd be able to make out along with a glowing horn as the figure settled down at the bottom of the crater.

She might not know what was going on, however, she was not alone as she'd feared. All her senses were telling her a mother bucking Alicorn had just appeared out of nowhere. Sure she was coughing from the ash, but she didn't let that stop her as she scrambled as quickly as her tiring body could to where that figure had landed.


My feet touched the ground as the transport spell faded, and I couldn't help but grimace at where I'd landed. Figures it would be the site of my failure if only my Friend had survived he might have been able to repair the damage She had caused.

Sensor readings showed that there was enough atmosphere to breathe if only just. At the rate of dissipation, I was looking at it would be another year before even that would be gone. Good thing I had worn a breathing mask and had brought a spare for whoever or whatever I found. The spare was currently hanging from the Belt while my hands were carrying a small crate.

I set it down, pressing a button before stepping back a few feet to give it clearance. A few moments later it unfolded into a teleporter capable of transporting anyone who used it to the medical section of the Arcology back on the other world.

It meant that once I was finished here, I wouldn't have to ever come back again if someone else ended up stranded here. Its power source should last a while and Corporate would likely use it as a relay to detect future life signs. Most likely they would try to rope whoever it was into a Contract.

My ears perked at the sounds of hooves clopping against stone coming from behind me. If my sense of direction was correct from the direction where Ponyville District had been. Turning I caught sight of a unicorn mare rushing to get to me. Well, that made finding her easier, the sensor scans showed that she was suffering from mild oxygen deprivation and her magic reserves were worryingly low.

However, as she got close enough for me to make out more details I froze. The dual-toned mane, and if I wasn't mistaken duel colored sun on her flank was a shock to see. I immediately ran scans to confirm yes she was there, no she was not some kind of necromantic construct back from the dead.

It was the quantum scan that gave me the answer, more significantly the fact it came up reading as a mismatch. I was staring at Sunset Shimmer. Just not the one native to this dimension. That would creepy as all hell considering I'd lit her pyre myself after I'd found what happened to her, and all the other Imperial Princesses before me.

She had a confused expression as she came to a stop panting from both the exhaustion and lack of enough air. Before she had a chance to say anything I was in motion. The spare mask in my hand as I knelt next to her and pushed it onto her face. She started slightly, but my other arm wrapped around her barrel and held her in place as the mask adjusted itself to fit. Once it was sealed and the indicator light lit showing she was receiving oxygen, I released my hold on the mask before running fingers through her mane.

"Settle down and breathe. You were barely getting enough air."

It took her a few moments before she relaxed and took several deep breathes. My grip turned into a loose hug once I was sure she wasn't going to bolt in fear.

"Thanks... Thought it was just the ash."

"Atmosphere is failing, if you arrived just a year later you'd have suffocated on arrival."

"That.. doesn't make sense.." I could hear the confusion in her voice.

"Don't know where you were intending to be, but somehow you shifted to a dead Equus. You aren't this world's Sunset Shimmer." I stated before standing and releasing her from the hug. "So tell me how did you get here? Did you screw up a teleport spell that badly?"

"No, I'm not that bad at magic." The slightly sarcastic tone meant she would recover in time. "Princess Celestia had a Mirror that went to a dimension populated by creatures called humans who had a similar body structure as you."

I gave a nod after a moment. "Well I've been living with humans for a while, my body is the result of their medical advances. But quick question. Who is Princess Celestia?"

My question seemed to have seemed to stump the mare into silence for a moment or two. "Princess Celestia. Princess of the Sun. Ruler of Equestria. Alicorn.."

"Oh, Sunbutt." My tone was irreverent as I used my old Friend's nickname for Her. "She didn't go by that name here. Here she was Empress Daybreaker, Ruler of the Solar Imperium."

"You're kidding?!"

I gestured around at the crater we were in. "Welcome the Imperial Capital.. Or least what's left of it after she dropped the Sun on it."

"But Celestia would never do that!"

"Maybe yours wouldn't, but mine sure did." I rubbed at the base of my horn before sighing. "So let me make an educated guess you tried coming back to your home dimension from the Human World and ended up here instead?"

At her nod, I unhooked my board from where I'd strapped it to my back and dropped it down. "Well, then you're going to show me where you arrived so I can have some friends examine it. As once I leave I'm not coming back ever."

"What is that?"

She asked as I locked one of my hooves into it before scooping her up into my arms and activating it. "Hover Board, how else do you expect a unicorn to fly without magic?" My wry tone seemed to confuse her. "Now which way was your arrival point."

She pointed a hoof and I shifted our weight to send us off in that direction. For now, just keeping to the Board's max speed as I wasn't sure she would be okay or go splat if I used my cheat. Her body was significantly less durable than mine.


Her arrival point it turned out was a Statue, specifically of a rearing Stallion. It was located halfway up Mount Canterlot right where Starswirl's tower had stood over a thousand years ago. At least until he'd blown it up and destroyed all his work shortly after Daybreaker declared herself Empress.

I was crouched down running scans while Sunset sat to the side. I could barely stop the twitching in my fingers while I resisted the urge to pull apart the magic inside. This was something that was new, well old really, but I had never known it was here.

Considering the Imperium never invaded other Dimensions it was obvious that Daybreaker had no clue about it either. It was however very similar to the spell my Friend had used to send me to, let's call it the Porno World. Only his didn't have a polymorphic aspect that would change the traveler into the nearest Sapient life form on the other side.

"Why did you call yourself a Unicorn?"

The sudden question from Sunset caused my train of thought to come to a halt before turning to look at her. It took me several moments before I realized she was serious about the question.

"Because I am one?"

"No, you're not.." She moved closer reaching out with a hoof only to touch something at my back. The thing was I could feel her hoof as if it were against my fur at that spot. But considering the jacket I was wearing at most, I should have felt just the pressure through the jacket.

Twisting about I could see part of what she had touched. I blinked unable to process what I was seeing. Even as a flex of my muscles caused it to spread open. A wing, it had not been there when I had gotten up this morning. Or when the time shift had been initiated so that I would arrive eight years into the past.

It was a much darker shade of lavender, nearly matching my hair with the shape that reminded me of some kind of predatory bird. It wasn't the wing of a pegasus or thestral. The only one who had wings even remotely similar had been Her. The Alicorn Bitch who had destroyed my world.

"No... No. Nononono!" I was speaking before I even processed what I was saying "Why now... I couldn't save anyone. Why you damn world? Why give me wings when everything here is dead!?!" It started as a whisper only to end with me screaming up at the empty sky.

I grabbed it and pulled trying to tear the damned thing off of me. Unlike with my arms or legs the wing would not detach from my back. No matter how hard I pulled it. To my shame, I honestly forgot anyone else was with me in my panic. Sunset tackling me onto my back reminded me in a very fast manner though.

She didn't say anything, just kept her forelegs wrapped around me in a tight hug with her head resting on my shoulder. We laid like that for a while, her body pinning mine only because I did not want to risk hurting her. It helped though.

It reminded me that I was not alone right now. There was a young, very mortal, mare right now that needed my help. Once I got back home I would have my family to turn to. Most likely it would end with a naked cuddle pile on my bed. I could just imagine it now.

"Um. Princess?"

I jerked slightly at being called that before reality reasserted itself. At some point, I had returned the hug. Only one hand ended up resting on her flank just over her Sigil while the other hand had begun to idly caress along her spine. The breathing masked no doubt hid the resulting blushes from both of us.

"Sorry.."

"Are you okay now?"

"Honestly? No, I'm far from okay. I'll deal though." I paused for a moment or two. "Thanks... Thanks for snapping me out of it."

She gave a nod before moving off of me. Still close in case, I needed another hug but I could get up again. At least the scans I had started before my mini-meltdown had been completed. They told me why Sunset hadn't been able to turn around and go back.

It was surprisingly simple, administrative lockout. Whoever had made these likely had taken one look at my world, turned around, and left before locking the door behind them. Sadly it wasn't a complete one, right now it acted as an emergency fire door. You could go out of it but once it swung shut again you would be shit out of luck.

Sunset was lucky that Corporate had detected her when they did. Otherwise, she would have died of dehydration if not starvation. I quite literally smacked myself when the connection was made. From one of my pockets, I pulled out a bottle of water and held it out to her.

"There is a slot in the mask that this should fit into. You should be able to unfold the feeding tube with your tongue."

With a quick thanks, the bottle was snatched from my fingers before she tried to follow what I told her. I failed to mention though that the feeding tube in the mask could double as a dildo gag and that you needed to suck on it to get anything. She seemed to be able to figure that out on her own, without me having to embarrass her more than I had to.

While she re-hydrated, I went over the scan results more closely. Examining the spells before deciding on using the same spell I had used the sleep cycle before Ascension Day. The magic coiled around one of my fingers, a dark tendril that caught Sunset's attention before I jabbed my finger into the stone.

There was the audible sound of something shattering before the stone rippled. I poured a bit more magic into it to stabilize the now open portal. Before turning to look at Sunset, sadly she wasn't able to see my smirk. "Alright, Sunset you should be able to get back to the Human World now."

"You're not going to use the portal are you?"

I shook my head. "Nope" I popped the 'p' just for amusement's sake. "I have no idea how the polymorphic spell will affect my body. Your mask has a tracking beacon so I'll be using my own method to follow you." At her hesitance, I sighed. "At the very least I want to make sure you have some semblance of a life there before I go home."

She nodded giving back the empty bottle before stepping through. The stone rippling around her as if she were stepping into a liquid. I waited a few moments before speaking once I knew the mare was safely through.

"Melody can you send a message to Luna and ask her to have this portal anchor moved to a much more secure location?"

Of course Mistress.

I smiled a moment before casting the spell that would send me after Sunset. The transport spell snapping into existence before the dead world warped away in a chaotic mess. I did not bother to track how long the trip took, however colors seeped into the chaos around me before gaining definition.

I touched down a few feet away from another copy of the Statue. This one seemed to be in front of a. High School? Quite a few teenagers were picking themselves up dressed in outfits that would make sense for going to a prom or some kind of school dance.

The front of the building though was missing a huge chunk where one would expect the main entrance to be. The Sunset I rescued still wearing the mask, was now in a leather jacket of her own as well as a cute outfit underneath. The problem was there was another Sunset, looking much worse for wear yet not covered in ash like mine was.

There was also another winged version of me getting back on her feet. With a crown that had another Element of Magic in it. Rubbing my horn I moved to assist Sunset to remove the mask even as I ran a comparative analysis on scans from both her and the other Sunset.

Their quantum signatures were an exact one hundred percent perfect match. Which meant something screwy was going on with the portals. I turned my attention toward my obvious currently human-shaped counterpart before removing the mask covering my face.

"Could someone please explain what the fuck is going on?"


What the fuck going on turned out to be somewhat complicated. Sunset the original favor had stepped through the portal not to simply return home. But to steal her world's Element of Magic. Also apparently they called the full set the Elements of Harmony over there. My counterpart had arrived to retrieve it, and rather than take the simplest of solutions.

She had jumped through so many unnecessary hoops to get it back only for Sunset to get her hands on it anyway. Get hopped up on Battle Magic overload, what other Twilight had called Dark Magic. And then proceeded to turn the students into zombies which she planned to invade Equestria with. Odd to hear that name outside of really old history texts.

Even I could tell that it was a plan doomed to failure, of the epic variety. If she'd tried that with my world as the destination she would have been reduced to an ash pile by Daybreaker. At least if she did it before said world's destruction.

"I would like to know how there are two Twilights and two Sunsets." One of the girls with my counterpart asked. From her tone and hair, I think I'll call her Prissy Purple at least in my head.

"And furry!" One of the pink-haired girls, without wings, practically bounced as she spoke. "You are definitely a Twilight but you look so furry compared to her."

"I think for my counterpart and I, it would be kind of obvious that we are from two different Parallels of the same World. As for my body well I ended up in a place where being Anthropomorphic is fairly common." I responded before pulling the bacon haired girl ash coated girl I shall now dub Sunset One into a loose hug with her back toward me. "I have no clue how there are two lovely girls when there should only be one. I just know that this cutie ended up stuck in my old Dimension when she tried to go her Equestria." I pointed a finger just under Sunset One's chin at the other one. "And that cutie if you filter out the Light Magic she just got blasted with has the exact same quantum signature as this one."

"Not that I mind but why are you hugging me?" The Sunset in my arms asked once I had finished answering Prissy Purple's question.

"Because hugging you is helping me avoid another freakout or as humans would put it. I have an urgent need to kill a bitch." My head turned to lock onto the local Da- Celestia, and I gave what I hoped was a polite smile. I don't think it worked as everyone who saw it took a significant step back. "Since I know in my head you aren't Her." I could barely suppress the loathing in my voice enough to keep my tone civil. "I'm doing my best to suppress that."

"Why would you want to kill me?" From the expressions of everyone, they seemed quite horrified by the idea.

"Tell me have the humans of this world studied psychology enough to understand the term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?" Her eyes widened and nodded so I gave another smile. "Good... Then you'll understand if I ask you to go somewhere else as your causing Flashbacks every time I look at you or hear your voice. And I am having to tell myself that you are not Her... Even if technically you are another version of Her."

Thankfully this version seemed nicer than mine had been as she moved away and I turned my attention back to my counterpart as she asked. "Just what happened to you?"

I could hear the genuine worry in her voice, either for me or those around us if I snapped. I hugged Sunset a little closer to my chest as I sighed drawing a blush from her in the process. "Too much to go into tonight. I know you like to have hundreds if not thousands of questions bubbling in that sexy head of yours. I'll answer them later just not right now."

"Sexy?"

Quite a few voices as the question at once, so I let go of my Sunset and straightened up before gesturing at my body in its very form-fitting outfit. "Raise a hand if you find this body sexy."

Quite a few teenaged hands of both genders, but with a vast majority being boys, went up.

"I am one sexy Princess, which means being a younger alternate version of me. You Twilight are also one sexy Princess." I smirked as she blushed. "Even if the exact nature of our sexiness is distinctly different in flavor."

That got me a light elbow to the gut from the Sunset causing me to snap my attention to her. "You also seem to have a really big ego."

I pouted at her for a moment or two before pouncing and pulling her into another hug that had me nuzzling her cheek. "Says the adorable snuggly unicorn who had planned to steal and eat an energy field bigger than her head."

"Can you please stop treating me like a plushie?"

I froze, then blinked a moment before slowly letting Sunset One go and taking a step back from her. "Sorry I didn't mean to," I stated in a very small voice before walking to where the other Sunset had been trying to stack bricks. And I just watched for a few moments even as I could feel the others watching me.

"Sunset step back a moment." Sunset Two looked like a tear-stained wreck as she obeyed my request. My Elements began to glow before I held up a hand and snapped my fingers like my old friend used to do. From those fingers erupted a rainbow-colored shock wave of magic that passed over everything.

Torn tuxes and Dresses were instantly mended and cleaned. The crater in the lawn rapidly filled in with grass growing to cover it. The building's entrance took a bit longer, the broken pieces flying from where they had landed back into their proper position.

When the magic faded everything was repaired, pristine even. "Mind showing me to a bathroom I need to freshen up a bit." With her nod I let her lead me inside the building.


Twilight didn't know what to think, questions upon questions filled her mind regarding the other visibly older and darker version of her. She was worried and horrified by the other Alicorn's comments and reactions. Especially in regards to Principal Celestia.

"Girls. What's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?"

"Um. You might know it has Shell Shock or Battle Fatigue." Fluttershy was the one to answer. "My Grandfather had it." The girl expanded at her friends' questioning looks.

"What causes it?"

"Most commonly, being surrounded by violence for extended periods. It is usually seen in war veterans, but it can result in response to extreme forms of abuse too.." The pink-haired girl paused a moment. "There are more things that cause it I think, but those are what I can remember off the top of my head."

"She tried to rip them off.." Everyone's attention turned to the second Sunset. "Her wings I mean... When I met her she hadn't even noticed they were there. And when she did, she tried to rip them off."

"Why?" Twilight had not felt ready for her wings but she had not wanted to rip hers off either.

"Her world. It's dead. No Sun, no moon, no stars, no magic. Just rock, charred ruins, and ash." Sunset seemed to just stare off visibly shuddering as she spoke. "Where the Everfree Forest is in our world? Massive crater she said was once the 'Imperial Capital'."

"Sugarcube what do you mean by massive crater?"

"Just what I said. A massive crater. Which according to her. Celestia, her Celestia, dropped the sun to make that crater."

Twilight stared at the girl in shocked horror. "She.. she wouldn't do that."

"Ours wouldn't. The one here definitely wouldn't either, even if she had the power to."

"She was scared.." Everyone turned to look at Pinkie. "When you asked why she was treating you like a plushie. It scared her."

Twilight paused thinking it over, for a brief moment, her counterpart had been acting almost like Pinkie. After Sunset's question though it was almost like when the Pinkie back home had thought everyone had forgotten her birthday.

"Might I suggest girls that you leave her be for now?" Vice Principal Luna's voice cut through the silence. "At least in regards to pressuring her for answers." She looked toward the newly repaired entrance. "If she were a student here, I would be required by law to initiate an investigation into her home life, due to how many red flags she's been raising. As it is it might be best for you all to get to the Formal."

"Why would we? She needs help!" Twilight half-shouted before blushing in embarrassment at Luna's arched brow.

"Indeed she does, however, I don't think you are the ones able to help her at this time. At the very least it would give her a much-needed distraction from her problems."

The girls sighed as Luna started herding them into the building with the others.


I'm wondering if the inhabitants of this Dimension are crazy. Because instead of going home and dealing with being turned into Zombies, if only for a few minutes. These people are having a dance party. Worse my counterpart can not dance, yet thinks she can. Quite frankly I am embarrassed enough for both of us.

"Excuse me, Twilight?"

I sighed and turned to the barely audible voice, my gaze falling on a cute girl with pink hair and yellow skin. She also due to the Elements being trolls currently has pony ears and wings.

"Please call me Mirror Flash, it will save on confusion and I just prefer it over my old name."

She gave a nod before speaking again still barely audible. "Why aren't you dancing?"

"Mostly because while, unlike Peppy Princess over there, I can dance. The dances I know aren't appropriate for this kind of setting." At her confused look, I expanded just enough without going into details. "My dances involve poles." The deep blush that erupted on her face told me that she had made the connection.

"Oh... If you don't mind me asking what is your world like? You seem just so different from.."

"Currently? It's dead." I had turned my attention to watch the horror that was my counterpart's dancing. "If you mean before it got destroyed. Well, the closest human term would be Orwellian."

The next thing I knew I was on the receiving end of a hug from the girl. It was over as soon as it had begun but it took me by surprise. Figures the girl that seemed to resonate with the Element that encouraged compassion would be the kind to initiate hugs even with how shy she seemed.

"Where are you living now?"

"Another world of humans. It's a place where both science and magic are highly advanced. Managed to make myself a family there, one I plan to return to once all this is resolved." I shared a small smile with her at that. My thoughts though turned to the two Sunsets, wondering how the portal had managed to twin the girl.

"What's going to happen with the other Sunset?"

"You mean the one that didn't get a Magical Rainbow in the face?" At her nod, I sighed. "Whatever she chooses. Neither seems ready to go back to their Equestria, either one or both could make a life here. The one I rescued might choose to join me when I leave. If she does then she'll be out of touch for quite some time."

"Why?"

"Because I had to jump back in time to be able to save her. And once I leave I'll be returning to that future."

The girl went silent at that, eventually wandering away when it seemed the conversation was over. I couldn't help but tilt my head at how badly the other me kept spasming on the dance floor. How the hell was she not embarrassed?

Once the dance was over and the horrifying spasms of the other Twilight were over, I was at the portal with my finger poked into it while she was saying goodbye to her friends. When heard footsteps approaching I turned to see her making her way with that purple and green dog following at her heels.

They slowed as they reached me, a simple application of magic and a binder appeared in my hand which I held out to her. "Little research project for you when you get home. This is the raw data for the scans I took of both this Statue and the one in my Dimension."

She blinked before taking the binder. "Not that I object but I would think you'd want to do the research."

"I won't have the time or access to the Primary Anchor which you will. Plus once I know what the Sunsets decide I'll be releasing the anchor keeping me from snapping back to my time."

"Star Swirl's spell only let me go back a week for a few seconds." I could see the question in her eyes.

"I ended up with some friends who use a much different method it comes to Time Travel. Anyway, you won't be hearing from me for a least five years giving you plenty of time to figure out how Sunset got twinned."

"Your planning to visit?"

"Eventually once I have my head on a bit straighter. Just when I do please keep your Celestia as far away from me as possible."

"Because of that Stress Disorder you mentioned?" Her voice was filled with concern.

"If yours was nothing like mine then consider yourself blessed."

She didn't seem to know what to say to that so I used magic to create a very large book I had once memorized. I handed that to her as well. "That may answer a lot of the questions you have. While it leaves out quite a few things, that is the official History of the Solar Imperium. Or at least the most recent edition I was able to get my hands on."

"Solar Imperium?!?"

I glanced at the portal as I answered. "It was originally called the Empire of the Eternal Day. But it got shortened after a thousand years." I stated, just before my hand slipped to the small of her back and I pushed her into the Portal before she could respond.

I glanced down at the talking dog who was giving me a surprised look. "Portal is about to close." Before using my foot I gently pushed him through as well. Three seconds later the Portal was closed, and the girls who had been given pony bits seemed to be quite disappointed when they vanished.

I didn't pay much attention to them as I made my way over to where the Sunsets were. Thankfully Da- Celestia was nowhere in sight. "Hey, girls have you come to a decision?"

Sunset Two gave a nod after glancing at her new twin. "I've decided to stay here. Make amends for what I did. And hopefully, build a better life."

I gave a nod before looking to Sunset One. "And you? Staying here with your new twin sister or coming to the Dimension I live in now?"

"With you, it's really strange seeing another me and I'd rather put Canterlot High behind me." She sounded a bit more confident than Two.

"Aright then decision number two, do you want to stay the same age as your twin or end up being younger than her?" I sighed at her confusion. "I had to hop back in time to help you, which means if you want to be the same age as I am, or don't want to be younger than her. I'd have to leave you with that world's Luna until after I snap back to my time."

"What would happen then?"

"She'd likely set you up with a job that would let you make a living and further your education while you wait to catch up to me the long way. You'd also have time to adjust to the social norms of that world."

"How different can they be?"

"Everything there runs on Porn Logic," I said low enough that only the pair heard.

"WHAT?!?" I winced at the stereo effect the two girls had made as they processed that little tidbit. Both gaining deep blushes, especially when simply everyone turned to look our way for a moment.

I couldn't help but be amused as I sat between the pair and pulled out my cellphone. "Let me show you. This is a clip from this morning from one of the more popular Reality Shows." The clip, of course, was from this morning showing me getting fucked by Daddy, though I had muted the sounds so no one would hear.

To them, it would look like I was being fucked by some random Unicorn Stallion morph while dressed as a naughty school girl. Both Sunsets were bright red as they saw what was on the screen. "This was my day job for the last ten years or so since I arrived in that world," I whispered to them before hitting the button that would switch it to the live feed. Which showed me sitting between them showing them something on my cellphone.

"How is it showing us right now?" One hissed into my ear as she stared at the screen.

"Magic and highly advanced recording systems. Today is my last day doing this. Once I go to bed tonight the feed will end. Once that happens I'll get my prize."

"What's the prize?"

"It's how they get people to consent to shows like this. They offer a prize that is worth going through insane challenges for. For me, it's the chance to explore, really explore what's out there in any dimension I like." My tone likely sounded wistful to the pair. But the opportunity to see living worlds especially ones where not everyone was an asshole was very appealing.

I looked to the Sunset I had saved before asking again. "So after learning about this, still want to go?"

At her nod, I slid my arms around her and pulled her into a very deep kiss. One that had my tongue exploring her mouth before I ended it. "So straight to my time or do I drop you off with Luna first?"

She was still blushing as she thought things over. "With Luna. I think I want to check out that education you mentioned."

"One thing about where we are going to. Consent is Absolute. Even if it doesn't appear that way on the surface at times. Everything that happens has always been agreed to ahead of time." At her nod, I stood with a glance at the other Sunset. "Good luck, I hope your life will be happier in time."

"Thanks."

She had a weak smile that I returned before turning to my Sunset and leading her to a spot clear of anyone else. One hand would slip up into her hair and pull her face against my breasts while her body was pulled flush with mine. My wings wrapped around her shielding her from view while also blocking her ability to see beyond them.

The transport spell rose around us, likely drawing attention even as the world around us dissolved into a chaotic mess. The whole time I held Sunset close enough that she likely could hear the beat of my cybernetic heart. The world eventually flowed back into focus though Sunset didn't seem to notice.

I smirked before the hand on her back slipped a bit lower and gave a light squeeze as my wings pulled way to fold at my back. She gave me an adorable squeak of surprise before smacking me as she jumped from my arms with a light glare.

"Hey!"

"We've arrived."

Around us was the Terminal, a large specially designed chamber meant for use when legally Time Shifting or Dimensional Jumping. It was quite literally the only place it was allowed on the planet. Thankfully the automated systems registered and confirmed my ID, especially with the marker showing that I was Post Contract. That meant that the restrictions the Me of now was under did not apply to me while I was here.

That of course though meant the next step, Decontamination Protocols. I led Sunset into a smaller room that had a chute door on one wall and two air-tight doors at either end as well as a sealed box opposite the chute. The one we entered through closed behind us before I looked to Sunset.

"You are going to have to strip."

"What? Why?"

"This is a Decon Room it won't let us through with clothing on. Don't worry you'll get it back, the chute leads to an extremely efficient clothes washing system."

I had already slipped off my belt and put it aside before starting to wiggle out of those form-fitting pants. Sunset, of course, was hesitant at first but soon was slipping out of her clothing as well. My Jacket proved to be a problem as the back caught on my wings. With a sigh I turned to the box on the wall and hit the release button, extracting a pair of all-purpose clothing sheers.

"Sunset I'm going to need your help."

When she looked over I handed her the sheers and turned my back to her. She got the hint and carefully cut the leather, turning the bottom of the jagged holes my wings created when they formed into long enough slits that I could slip my new appendages through them.

"What is that anyway?"

I glanced at what she was pointing at even as I reached down to loosen it for removal. "Chastity belt. Was required to wear it when not with very specific people or very specific places."

"Like the Stallion from the clip?"

I blushed before nodding. "Yes, he was one of those people."

She seemed quite surprised when I extracted the two dildos filling my lower holes. Since I'd pushed my fingers through what looked to her like a leotard to get them.

"How did you do that?"

My answer was to take her hand and press it to my stomach, letting her fingers sink into the tendrils before ending up in my fur. "Despite appearances, this isn't a piece of clothing. It's a very special creature."

She blushed before yanking her hand back and our clothes were dumped down the chute except for my belt which I slung over my shoulder. "The Rainbow Belt as a security exception," I explained at her questioning look.

Hidden panels popped open through which mechanical tentacles soon exited from. I pulled the startled Sunset into a light hug to calm her before taking a step away from her and up to the tentacles. They slid around me without actually touching me, releasing a decontamination spray that covered me from head to toe. One picked up the Belt before another sprayed it down as well.

When they finally pulled back I stepped forward, and the same thing happened once again. Only this time I was being thoroughly rinsed off. Another step forward and the next set had soft fluffy pads on their ends which they used to rub me dry. Once done I moved next to the door before turning to Sunset who had watched the whole thing.

"It looks worse than it is. Your turn."

After a few more moments of hesitation, she moved into position giving out a few gasps and blushes due to how the spray felt as it was applied. By the time she was done, she had a very deep blush on her cheeks. "That wasn't bad. Other than the drying ones they didn't do anything."

I nodded at her agreement. "Mmhmm. You have no record on file and thus no recorded Consent for anything yet. So you don't get pervert mode."

"But you do have a record here."

"And the AI controlling the tentacles is smart enough to know that using pervert mode on me would make it harder for it to do its job with you." She seemed to relax a bit so I continued. "Quite a bit is automated here. Though there are still plenty of people."

"So next room we get our clothes back?"

"Yes though I find it amusing you picked up the human nudity taboos of that century."

"Hey as a Unicorn I had fur to keep me warm as a human I don't!"

I just smirked at her as we passed into the next room. Which indeed had her clothes cleaned and sealed in plastic baggies. All I did to get dressed was to clip the belt back around my waist while Sunset worked on getting her clothes out of the baggies so she could wear them again.

"Where's your clothes?"

"Decided not to wear them so my AI had them rerouted. Since I'll have to go through this procedure again, it's easier to just walk around in my fake leotard."

It took us about an hour before we ended up in Luna's Office, which considering she was an executive when not being my caseworker was fairly quick. When I finally recalled back to my proper present, Sunset had been hired as a part-time maid, to pay for a small place while she adjusted and caught up to the level of education a girl her age would have in 2165.

In short, she got a deal that did not require her to become a Contestant, but she would have to clean up after some. So it was quite a surprise when I got to my darkened home, I found a bacon haired unicorn pony morph in a latex maid uniform kneeling on the floor of my bedroom. Bound in place with a ribbon and a card hanging from the bow that covered her mouth.

"Sunset?"

She nodded looking quite smug even with the bow effectively gagging her. I plucked the card which wished me Happy Birthday from both Luna and someone named Cadence. I arched a brow before untying the bow and starting to unwrap what I had been informed in the card as my new pet.

"How did this come to pass?"

"This world's Cadence was very persistent once she discovered I existed." At my blank look, she explained. "She's the Alicorn of Love back in Equestria. The one here started bugging me because I was in her words perfect."

"Perfect for what?"

"Her Shipping Chart."

I rubbed my horn as Sunset helped me remove my leotard, which attempted to attach to her before I did the trick Melody used to make it curl into a ball. Once in its storage container, I turned to regard the fetish maid in my room. I reached out to caress the collar that was now firmly around her neck.

"And you don't object to this?"

She shook her head before I pulled her into a deep kiss, one she returned just as deeply. My hands sliding to unzip her dress. Drawing soft moans as I slid it off her before drawing her to my extremely comfortable bed. She seemed to be quite happy to learn how deep my tongue could go, and her attention made me dislike my new wings a bit less.
