Fly to the Stars and Back (Redone)

“Attention, this is your chief speaking. We are traveling to our first mission. We are going to be investigating unknown space so be on guard and ready for action. Once we’re there we will search for our old sister vessel before giving the debriefing and ending our first successful mission together. After that, we’ll see what will happen. That is all.” Blitz’s voice is heard over the intercoms.

Of course, Spike was still focused. “Spike, maybe you should take a break.” Applebloom offered.

“Nope.” He said still playing the same game.

Scootaloo sighs. “Come on Spike, play with us for a change.”

“Can’t, must kill this stupid worm,” Spike says as he continued to fire at the giant worm creature.

Sweetie Belle comes right by him before hitting the escape button and pausing the game and quickly pulls him out of the seat before taking his place. “That wasn’t a request.” She said as she saved the game before exiting it and then starts leading Spike to where the rest of them were and gives him a controller before sitting down on the theater couch and turns on the TV.

“All hands, brace yourselves. We are jumping in T-minus one hundred and eighty seconds.” Blitz says over the intercom.

Spike looks worried as the rest of the fillies just looked confused. “Jumping?” Scootaloo asks.

Spike quickly gets into the seat and pushes them against the seat as he takes one himself. “Trust me, you want to be against something or tied down for this.” The three then see parts of the ship locking down.

Sweetie Bello looks to Spike scared. “What’s going on?”

Spike sighs as he righted himself. “All right, when we jump through space, we are either traveling so fast we need to hold ourselves to something or through a wormhole and it will all be peachy. This is the fast version by the sound of it.” He said as he sees some of the electronics power down.

“T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, engage hyperspace warp,” Blitz says over the intercom.

“Hang on to something,” Spike said and before they took off, he felt three pairs of hooves on his arms.

After what felt like hours, but was really one minute the jumpstarted to even out and everything shifted to a comfortable pace. “Everypony okay?” Spike asks.

“Yeah,” Scootaloo says getting up.

“Well, we are in warp drive,” Spike says.

“Wait, we aren’t there?” Sweetie Belle asks.

“No, we are moving at the speed of light, but even with this speed, we won’t reach other areas of space instantly. We will be like this for a while.” Spike says. “Can you girls let go of my arms now?” He asks as he feels the blood being cut off.

“Sorry.” They said as they let go of him and Spike sighs in relief.

“That’s better. I was afraid of playing with my tail as claws.” Spike said as he moves his arms around to make sure they are working.

Scootaloo hits him. “Ah shut up, you took harder. Like when you went on that journey alone and came back with a phoenix. Hey, what happened to him?”

Spike sighs. “He grew older. I had to let him go. But he was a great bird.” He said as he stayed leaned back.

Spike then felt something land on his head. “What’s on my head?” He asks the fillies who were smiling a little.

“I don’t know, why don’t you check?” Scootaloo says.

Spike grows confused and looks up to see an orange and red bird look down on him. “Feather!” Spike yelled as he took him off of his head and hugs him. “Missed you man.”

“Aww.” Sweetie Belle and Applebloom said while Scootaloo just sticks her tongue off to the side.

“Oh look out girls someone is creeping up on you.” Spike says before looking back to Feather.

They look confused until they turn around and a large mass came onto the couch. “Terran!” They yelled before jumping on him to which he yelp and jumps a little playfully,

Spike chuckles as he looks to Feather. “How did you get on board?” Feather just gave him an embarrassed look with a wing behind his head.

“Excuse me girls, have you seen a phoenix around here?” Fluttershy asks walking in as Terran playfully pawed at Applebloom.

Spike looks crosses his arms at Feather who was stuck out in the open and looking really embarrassed. “That answers that question.” He said.

“Oh there you are,” Fluttershy says walking over.

Spike smiles. “When did he comes back?”

“Oh, I found him wandering around the Everfree not long after my wedding. Wait, what do you mean, come back?” Fluttershy asks.

Spike smiles as he pointed to Feather. “This is Feather, the phoenix egg I found when I went on my dragon journey. He left after he got old enough and so I let him go.”

“Oh my, I had no idea,” Fluttershy says as Terran playfully tackled her.

Spike smiles as the fillies come back and sit with him, looking messy and hair out of place. “Terran give you a hard time?” He asks, chuckling a bit.

“Quiet.” They said almost glaringly, but can’t hold it and gives a small smile to him. “You know what, he’s too cute for his own good,” Scootaloo said.

“Yet, Twilight told me of when he tore apart a manticore alpha in a matter of moments,” Spike says.

The fillies advance a little on Spike. “We meant you,” Applebloom said, holding a smirk now.

Spike suddenly looks a little scared as Sweetie Belle gets close. “Yeah, maybe we should deal with him with…what was the game played at Diamond Tiara’s birthday party called?”

Scootaloo thinks for a few. “I think it was called seven minutes in…”

“Later!” Spike yells before running off and smacking into Terran. “Ow.” He said as he fell down.

The three fillies stood above him as he laid down in a daze. “Well girls, closet time?” Applebloom asks.

“Girls, your siblings are looking for you,” Fluttershy informs.

Spike looks up at the fillies as they groan and he gets up. “Don’t worry, we can spend time later.” He said without thinking and then slaps himself in the face. “I just said that, didn’t I?”

The fillies all hug him before running to their sister’s quarters as Spike gains a little blush and looks back to Fluttershy. “Did I just gained the affection of three fillies?”

“Maybe we shall see later,” Fluttershy says before Terran licked her face.

Spike slaps himself on the face before moving back to the computer. “Back to gaming.” He said as he started it up.

Fluttershy thinks for a few. “You know, there is something you can do.”

Spike looks back to her. “What is it?”

Fluttershy smirks as she watches Spike look at the ingredients in front of him in his pink frilly apron. “Good luck.” She said before leaving.

“I swear, I’m being punished,” Spike said to himself. Feather sqwakes. “I am,” Spike said in defense.

The griffon just places a large spoon in his hand. “Just get to cooking kid and watch him, he is constantly trying to raid us.” He said before working on his own after pointing to Terran who was half-hidden.

Spike sighs. “I wonder how the girls are.” He slaps himself in the face again. “Dang it!” He said before hitting himself in the head. “Okay, cooking. Back off Terran.” He said slapping his spoon on Terran’s head, making him go back down before really cooking.

Blitz eyes the engine readings as they still traveled. “How are we doing?” He asks the crew.

“All stable, but the engineers want to do an overhaul later. They say they keep hearing a clicking noise.” A communication officer says.

Blitz nods. “As long as it makes the ship better that increases our chances in areas and keeps us safe. Time?”

“Forty hours till we exit hyperspace,” Meratan says.

Blitz nods. “Good, keep at it. I’ll be checking on something and have all teams do ten-hour rotations. I want everyone awake and ready to go when we get there.” He said as he left.

Blitz sighs as he stood outside Twilight’s room before opening the door and heading inside before locking it behind him.

“Hope you don’t mind, I invited a few other mares,” Twilight says.

Blitz looks to her. “Oh yeah, who?”

“Who do you think?” He hears Rainbow as she lands on his back.

Blitz smiles a bit. “Anypony else?”

“How about me darling?” Rarity asks as she leans on him.

Blitz smiles. “I think I can take you. So you all want it?”

Both Rainbow and Rarity shake their heads. “Giving you a smaller line until you fall asleep.” Rarity said.

“Hey, want am I, chopped liver?” Spitfire asks.

Blitz now looks worried. “Um…how many of you are here?”

“This is everypony, Shadow and Fleetfoot have to watch the teams,” Spitfire says wrapping her wing around him and Rainbow.

Blitz sighs. “I don’t think I can deal with you all. How about a nice quiet get together?”

“What do you think girls?” Twilight asks.

“No.” Spitfire, Rainbow, and Rarity says.

Blitz pets Spitfire’s mane as they laid on him. “Geez, at the rate I’m going, I’ll burn myself out.” He said as he lays his head back.

“Don’t worry, we will start lightening up for quite a while,” Twilight says.

“After Daring, Fleetfoot, Shadow, Pinkie and Applejack get a turn,” Rainbow adds.

Blitz sighs. “And therein lies the problem.”

“They are going to wait to after this,” Spitfire says snuggling into his chest.

Blitz pets Twilight’s mane. “I want at least a few at a time. Not a reverse gangbang.”

“We were just surprising you for this time. This won’t become a normal thing.” Twilight says.

Blitz gives a fake obvious chuckle. “Make sure it doesn’t, even I have limits.”

“We know,” Twilight says looking to the sleeping form of Rarity.

Blitz sighs afterward. “But…I’ll try if you want.”

“Nah, we were just experimenting with this and I don’t know about the other girls, but I wanted a little more attention,” Rainbow says.

Blitz smiles a bit. “Yes you can play with the other mares.”

“Nah, I want you even though Spitfire is cool. I want my husband.” Rainbow says.

“Aww.” The other mares said as Rainbow blushes deeply.

“Shut up.” Rainbow whines.

Blitz chuckles as he now pets her mane, making her purr. “It’s fine. We’re lying here in bed with ourselves exposed to everypony here. I think you can live with that.”

Rainbow glares a bit before purring again as she leans her head into his hoof. “That’s nice.”

“That it is Rainbow,” Blitz says before kissing her neck. Rainbow moans as the others move to her and start to massage her or give a few kisses here and there. “How do you feel?” Blitz asks between his kisses.

Rainbow moans and whines a bit. “Good.”

Blitz smiles and backs off. “You’ll get more later. I’m still out.”

“Well I’m staying right here for a while,” Rainbow says touching his chest.

Blitz groans as he gets up a little and holds her hoof. “I have to go. You can stay with the others though.”

“No,” Rainbow says.

Blitz tilts his head a little. “Then you just want to rest with me?”

“You are staying right here with me,” Rainbow says a little stubborn.

Blitz smiles until his face goes blank and he just slumps his body sitting down.

“Mares always win,” Rainbow says smiling.

Twilight pokes Blitz and he stayed slumping. “Blitz? You okay…whoa!” She yelled as she was grabbed and held.

“Warm.” He said as he held her.

“Ok girls, let’s warm him up,” Twilight says encircling him with her wings.

Blitz slightly smiles a bit as the others hug him all over. “My mates.”

“Yeah,” Spitfire says as she and Rainbow encircle him with their wings.

Blitz shakes himself a bit and looks to all of them. “Sorry girls. Blacked out there…why am I being hugged all over?” Blitz didn’t get a response and found all four sleeping. Blitz smiles as he tries to wiggle out of their grips, but soon stops as they hug him tighter.

Blitz sighs and lets them rest against him and hugs Twilight harder. “Oh girls. You really have no idea how happy you make me.”

“Okay, how did he do that with so little ingredients?” The griffon asks as he looks around the big cake.

The other chef shrugs. “I have no idea.”

Spike smiles as he places the last frosted flower on the cake. “There, what do you think?” He asks turning back to them.

The griffon just looks confused. “How…?”

Spike looks back at the cake and then back to him. “Oh, Twilight usually can’t cook and when she does, she was more likely to set the treehouse on fire. So I ended up cooking almost everything.” He then looks slightly away. “Even my own birthday cake. Kinda sad really. You ever had to cook for yourselves and soon felt like not eating it because in a sense you already tasted it?”

The human chef just looked surprised. “Wow, that’s pretty…deep.”

“Yeah and…Terran back off.” Spike says waving the ladle at Terran. Terran growls as he retreats back into the alcove behind him. “Any case, I have a lot of time alone and usually to myself. I would get lucky if I had time.”

The griffon still eyed the cake. “So…what’s the occasion?”

Spike shrugs. “Anything really. Whatever you want.” He said before he hears munching on the other side of the cake and spins it around. “Terran, I swear that if you…” He stops as he sees three fillies sitting in and eating the cake. “Huh, so that’s why I found a bow in my mixing bowl. There were three beautiful ingredients in there.” He said before stopping himself. “Dang it!”

“Hey, hey, no one steals from the kitchen while we cook.” The griffon says.

The three fillies try to leave and end up making the cake topple over to the other side. “Oh crap.” Spike said before he was buried under some frosting and sponge bread. “At least it can’t any worse.” Terran comes up and starts to lick the frosting off of him. “Scratch that. That’s it, I’m out.” He said as he steps out of the pile of cake. “If anypony needs me, I’ll be washing myself off and playing some more games.” He said leaving with a trial of frosting behind him.

“Get this mess cleaned up and get ready. Lunch begins in two hours.” The head chief says.

The griffon and human sighs. “Yes sir.” They said before grabbing a mop and broom and trying to not clean up, but rather push Terran back. “Back foul beast, back.” The griffon said pushing it back. Terran roars in his face, scaring him a bit. “Geez, this thing is temperamental. How does the chief deal with this thing?”

“Terran, if Blitz hears about this, he will get upset,” Applebloom says.

Terran whines and bundles over to her and nuzzle her before running off. Applebloom smiles as he runs off somewhere and she looks back to the chefs now working on cleaning up before leaving. “You find him, girls?” She asks Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

Sweetie Belle shakes her head. “Not really.”

Applebloom sighs. “Well we have to apologize for what we did or he will never play with us again.”

Scootaloo thinks for a few before grabbing them. “Come on girls. I got an idea.” She said dragging them to the computer. “We have to at least impress him. Where’s that game?”

“Wow.” Sweetie Belle says looking out the window.

Applebloom and Scootaloo look over and saw that same thing. “How did we miss that?” Scootaloo asks.

Applebloom tries to speak. “I have no idea how we missed a ship that big.”

“Wasn’t that the ship we were on?” Sweetie Belle asks.

“Okay, now it’s time to playyyyyy…what the heck?” Spike said dropping the towel he had and walking over to them and the ship in the background. “How did we drop out of hyperspace so quickly and unnoticed?”

Blitz’s eyes shot wide open and felt something was wrong. “Girls, wake up now!” Blitz yells as he shakes them off and gets up.

The mares all awaken as they look around. “What, what’s going…whoa, that’s a big ship.” Spitfire said as she looks out the window.

“Girls, get to safety.” Blitz says making the room drop down into the ship before teleporting to the bridge. “All hands battle stations, go to combat speed one and bring shield and weapons to bare.” Blitz orders and turns to Meratan. “How the heck did we drop out of hyperspace without notice?”

Meratan looks over the datapad she had. “I don’t know, we just dropped out of hyperspace and this ship was there. Wait…got the log.” She said as a list came up. “Okay, it should…no, no, no, no!” She said as the list started to dwindle down to the last user before it disappeared as well.

“Hold, they are not moving,” Blitz says noticing. “Meratan, get us a scan on that ship now. Somethings off.” Blitz says.

Meratan quickly rushes to a console. “Scanning now, what am I looking for?”

“A power signature for starters,” Blitz says.

Meratan hits a few things. “Okay, I got…nothing? Hold on.” She said trying again and comes up with the same results. “Still nothing. That ship is dead in the water.”

“Scan the entire area and start sending probes to get more detailed scans and tell our fighter pilots to go on red alert and be in their fighters ready to launch,” Blitz says.

Meratan nods. “Of course sir, would you like to try to hail them? There must be power in a portable version rather than the ship itself.” She asks.

“No, I don’t think so. Something is off, I have never seen a ship design like this and I have seen nearly every ship in the galaxy.” Blitz says.

Meratan nods and accidentally hits something on the console. “Oh shoot. Okay, let me turn that…”

GROWL

“Off.” Meratan finishes.

“Hold that frequency,” Blitz instructs.

Meratan nods. “Yes, chief. What do we do now? Board?”

Blitz sighs as he looks upon the strange castle-like ship. “I got a better idea. Information time.” He said walking out.

“Wait, what?” Spike asks as Blitz stood in the rec room as the fillies look over the ship.

Blitz sighs. “Of all the times playing games, have you known any ship like that? I’m just asking because I have the list for real-life ships in my head.”

“No, I haven’t,” Spike says.

“As I thought. Meratan, have the probes switch their scanning to determine the age of the ship and last time its engines were powered up?” Blitz asks.

Meratan sighs. “Working on that now sir and getting the information. Let’s see, age is something of a mix. I’m reading different ages all over. Must be repaired too much.”

“And the engines?” Blitz asks.

“Scans indicate…that can’t be right.” Meratan says.

Blitz grows worried. “What is it?”

“Readings says it has been more than ten thousand years, galactic standard time,” Meratan says.

“We are looking at a lost relic people,” Blitz says.

Spike looks to the ship. “Did you try talking to them maybe?”

Blitz sighs. “Yeah, just came up with a growl. Probably some creatures who don’t need air and pressure have made that thing it’s home.”

Spike looks to him. “A growl?”

Blitz looks to him as well. “Yeah, why?”

Spike tries to think. “Nothing, it’s just…something. I can’t put my claw on it.”

“Sir, one of the probes just went dark,” Meratan said.

“I’m on my way back to the bridge. Have the rest withdraw and get me the last image the probe saw.” Blitz said walking away.

After he came onto the bridge he sees the whole crew looking at a screen which had a sort of a straight line coming through the screen and slightly webbed on the far side as it bulged out. “Lens cracked?” He asks coming in.

Meratan shakes her head. “We got the last footage. It found a breach in the hull so we decided to head in and after it entered what looks like a hallway, that happened and then static.”

“Show me the feed.” Blitz orders.

The crew nods and messes with the consoles and the screen were replaced with a picture of a breach of a hull before it moves closer and heads in. As they see it head into the hallway and straightened out, it suddenly gains the lines and when they thought it was a bit of static it suddenly turns to pure static.

Blitz kept showing the static before it rewinds and plays slowly up to the last moments. “Not static?”

Meratan shakes her head. “Yes sir, it’s something else. Something that maybe has to do with that growl.” She said looking at the communications console and they still hear a bit of groaning and growls.

“Freeze image 678,” Blitz ordered. The video rewinds from the static again and goes to the image asked for.

“What is that?” Meratan asks.

“From the look of it, no natural creature,” Blitz says.

Meratan looks to him. “Want to investigate?”

Blitz sighs. “Prep a transport. Get us heavily armored and armed shredders. It’s looking like it’s ready to fall apart.” He said starting to leave.

“Blitz, Blitz, I finally remembered,” Spike says running onto the bridge out of breath.

Blitz looks to him as he pants. “Whoa, slow down there. What did you remember?”

Spike rushes to a nearby computer. “Minerva, sync the rec room computer with the screen here.”

“Acknowledged,” Minerva says. After looking at the monitor. Blitz stops cold.

“Why, why did it have to be Dead Space?” Blitz says.

Spike looks to him. “You played?”

Blitz groans. “Unfortunately, change of plans. Minerva, bring our main gun online.” Blitz orders.

Spike jumps off his seat. “Bad idea and you know it.”

“Oh, it’s not the idea you’re thinking. Minerva, reroute all power from it and switch it to completely shield us and have…one moment, get me a close up on the star of this system now.” Blitz says.

Minerva brings up a camera and zooms in on the star and shows it brightly orange. “Reason?” She asks.

Spike looks to him. “Crash into the sun?”

“No, look,” Blitz says and they see a ship similar to the Darkline.

Spike slaps his forehead. “Please tell me that isn’t the ship you’re looking for and this isn’t probably the beginning of the game.”

“No, not the beginning of the game. All hands, change of plans. Get us distance from this ship now and head for that ship. Meratan, scan the star now and tell me how long we have.” Blitz says.

Meratan nods and goes to a console. “This might take a while. What should we do in the meantime?”

“Hail that ship and start scanning. I want to know if there is anyone alive on that ship.” Blitz says.

“Scans complete, we have less than eight hours till star goes supernova,” Minerva says.

They all look surprised as Meratan tried to hail the new ship. “How is that possible? It’s not even the right size or color.” One of the crew said.

Minerva was silent for a bit. “Increased mass is one and the only I can come up with.”

“Or they launched a level seven missile or an improvised version of it into the star as a last resort to destroy those things,” Blitz says.

“That would cause the star to go supernova in seventy-two hours,” Minerva says.

“That is why I am hoping for survivors,” Blitz says.

“Got them!” Meratan yells.

“Mayday, mayday, is anyone receiving this?”

“This is the Darkline, confirming we hear you,” Blitz says.

“Mayday, mayday, is anyone receiving this?”

“Seems they can’t hear us. Alright, Meratan starts using morse code with our lights.” Blitz says.

Meratan nods and heads to a far off console and starts to mess with the lights and they see the bridge lights turn off and on. Spike just looks confused. “Can it be possible it’s just a loop?”

“No, if you notice there’s a difference in tone every time,” Blitz says.

“Sir, I don’t think they can hear us. The communications might b…wait, is that morse code?”

“See,” Blitz says.

Everyone watches as the lights change. “So what’s its saying?” Spike asks.

“We…can…hear…you…but…you…aren’t…receiving.”

“Next message: How many of you are left and have the creatures infiltrated the bridge yet?” Blitz orders.

Meratan nods and keeps trying to mess with the lights. “Done.”

“We have only nine left and not yet, we collapsed the air vents and barricaded the door.”

“Do you have your armor on?” Blitz asks as Meratan continues to mess with the lights.

“No, just grabbed a pistol for each of us.”

“Then prepare protocol omega-four.” Blitz says.

“That is risky.”

“It is the only way to evacuate you and we don’t have long before the star goes supernova and wipes out everything,” Blitz says.

“What’s protocol omega-four?” Spike asks.

“We have a transport land right on top of the bridge’s window and move the boarding tube onto it and cut open a hole in it,” Blitz says.

Spike looks a bit worried. “And if that’s true, how much time do they have?”

“Minutes to escape, the ship is compromised and the sun will destroy everything with its final moments.” Blitz says.

Spike now looks worried. “Well, you better hurry.”

“Meratan, send the shuttle and plot a hyperspace jump out of here. Omega is the closest jump coordinates, so target there and get me Aria on the line now.” Blitz says.

The screen crackles a bit before a purple creature appeared on it. “The Great Cross, to what do I owe this pleasurable call for?”

“Trouble Aria. I’m sending data for your eyes only now.” Blitz says.

Aria takes a look at a nearby datapad. “Why am I looking at a video game?”

“You are not, we have literally encountered these creatures. You know what these things are like if what the games are like is true. As such we will be warping to Omega soon. Can you have your ships perform an organic wipe on my ship?” Blitz asks.

Aria throws the datapad away without looking. “Fine, just don’t have these things in my air vents. I like to breathe.” She said before cutting off.

“Alright, no one leaves the ship, all fighters are grounded and start doing a mini bio-cleansing in the air vents immediately and keep doing them constantly.” Blitz orders.

The crew nods as they get to work and Blitz and Spike walk off. “So what now?” Spike asks after a while.

“We wait and prepare to warp and say nope to this nightmare.” Blitz says.

Spike chuckles a bit. “Just think what you would have to do if you got on that ship.”

“I would rather not,” Blitz says as a shuttle is seen flying towards the Mandalorian ship.

Spike shrugs. “You’re choice.” He said walking into the rec room and still sees the three fillies at the window. “You girls okay?” He asks as he comes up to them.

“Come on, it can’t be that bad.” Scootaloo says.

“Spike, take them to play Dead Space,” Blitz says after moments of silence.

Spike grins a bit. “Sure.” He said as he closes the blinds and turns off the lights. “Come on girls, you’re going to love this.” He said heading to the couch.

Blitz waited and stared at the scenery for what felt like hours before the transport was back aboard. “Alright Minerva, punch it. The star is about to start increasing its gravity well.” Blitz says as he sees the ancient ship starting to be pulled towards the sun.

“You got it, pulling out now.” Minerva said as the ship starts to move.

Blitz sighs as he sees the crew of the ship get off the shuttle. “Is everyone okay?”

“Yeah, we got them out right before the creatures started banging on the door.” The pilot says.

Blitz nods. “Good, get them to the infirmary just in case and place them in quarantine, level five.”

“Understood.” The pilot says.

Blitz keeps watching the crew of the ship walk past him and tries to watch them for anything, but not outward appearance and once they went out of view he heads to the other elevator to head back up.

“Warp now Minerva.” Blitz orders. He hangs onto a nearby crate and feels the ship push him a bit before it levels out. “Okay, tell my mares I’m coming up.”

“Got it. We will be at Omega in T-minus two hours.” Minerva says.

Blitz nods as he heads up before coming out into the so-called common area of the mares’ rooms. “Girls?”

“We done?” Rainbow asks.

Blitzes sighs as the common area was remade into a living room area and sits down on a couch. “Yeah, we’re safe now.”

Shadow sits right next to him and grabs his hoof before placing it on her zipper. “What was it?”

“Oh, a nightmare I said nope to and decide for us to leave,” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles as she makes his hoof go down. “Really, so we’re safe?”

“Not until we finished the bio-cleansing on the ship,” Blitz says.

Shadow grabs his hoof and pulls him to her room. “Come on. Let’s have a little fun.”

Blitz pulls up two blaster pistols. “Wait until after that, then you may have it.” Blitz says.

Shadow whines. “Aww, come on. I got something special for you.”

“We are not out of danger Shadow,” Blitz says.

Shadow pouted cutely. “Aw, that’s it, I’m doing this with you if you like it or not.”

“You can be right here with me until then,” Blitz says wrapping a hoof around her, but not putting down either blaster.

Shadow grins. “Want to come back to my room at least?”

“Sure.” Blitz says as they walk.

Shadow smiles as she pulls him inside and closes the door. “Put this on.” She said holding up a Wonderbolt uniform.

“Wait until we get there first, until then,” Blitz says starting to kiss her.

Shadow moans as she kisses back and pulls back a little. “How much longer?”

“A few more hours.” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. “Are you okay with my plan for our night?”

“Want to get dominated by your competition, huh?” Blitz asks keeping one eye on the vents.

Shadow shakes her head. “Nope, put the suit on and find out what will happen.”

“You have to wait,” Blitz says.

Shadow sigh and heads for the bathroom. “I’ll be back in a bit.”

“Watch the vents,” Blitz says as red lights pass through the vents every so often.

Shadow waves at him. “Yeah, uh-huh.” She said closing the door.

Blitz watched the vent carefully as he put on the Wonderbolt costume and hiding just out of view. After a while Shadow came out in the same Shadowbolt costume she’s been wearing. “What’s different?” Blitz asks, eyeing the costume.

Shadow smiles a little. “Oh a rip here and rip there.”

“Oh, why not turn around and look at me,” Blitz says.

Shadow grins and turns around to let him see many stretched parts of the suit and ripped in some areas that shows off some questionable areas while being so skin-tight he saw her flank straining and showing how far it could hug her.

Shadow starts to walk towards him with a bigger shake on her flank as she gains sultry eyes. “You know what that suit you’re wearing does?” She asks placing her hooves on his shoulders and leaning on him.

“What?” Blitz asks.

Shadow grins and moves to his ear. “It makes blank versions of the one wearing it to appear and do whatever the wearer wants.”

“Shadow, I’m not gangbanging you. I reserve the right to be the only one stallion who bangs you and no copies allowed.” Blitz whispers into her ear before biting it softly.

Shadow moans. “It’s only making the shape of you, not like clones. It would look ponykins, but wearing the suit with it. Besides, I love being taken too many ways and it’s not separate. You would feel what they feel.”

“What I say stands. Now stop being bad or I might punish you.” Blitz says.

Shadow groans and let’s go of him. “Then take off the suit since there is no point in wearing it.” She said heading back to the bathroom. “Spent all those enchantments for nothing. Lousy few thousands of bits.” She muttered to herself.

“Oh I don’t know, gave me an idea on how to take you,” Blitz says getting her curious.

Shadow huffs. “I thought you said you don’t want others no matter what.”

“Oh, you are going to see what I mean in a few hours,” Blitz says starting to ease her.

Shadow groans. “I got that suit for you so that nopony else can mess with me and only you and you don’t bother with that idea even. I probably won’t get excited at this point.”

“Not even if I…” Blitz starts whispering into her ear, causing Shadow to start getting a little wet. “You were saying?” Blitz asks.

“All of them?” Shadow asks.

“We will get to all of them, maybe not this session, but we will,” Blitz says.

Shadow moans. “I want it all in one go, but you have to find a way to get me to have it all at the same time.”

“Yeah, but I can be sadistic, so I’m only going to do them one at a time,” Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow whines. “I want you to be like that. Go all out.”

“Nope, you’re going to have to go through each one, one by one,” Blitz says as he feels them exit hyperspace.

Shadow frowns. “You know how I got this fetish?”

“No, but you know what our stopping means?” Blitz asks.

Shadow looks to him. “Mainly we exited hyperspace. And you don’t want to talk much and just go your own way.”

“No, it means time to start,” Blitz says smirking.

Shadow huffs. “I’m still mad. You kinda didn’t even find a simple middle ground.”

“Oh, not even if I do this?” Blitz asks starting to stroke her wings.

Shadow groans. “Blitz, I wanted this. I was ready and you brought me down. Why?”

“To tease you so you don’t expect this,” Blitz says as Shadow feels somepony grabbing her from behind.

Shadow frowns. “So you just didn’t do it just so you could tease me and then offer me a lower one?”

“No, I just did it to fake you out to get you back for the pie to the face. Yes Shadow, I knew that was you.” Blitz says as Shadow starts looking sheepish.

Shadow blushes red before turning away. “So you still want to do this the ‘old fashioned’ way?”

Blitz wordlessly grabs her from behind. “What do you think?” Blitz asks before throwing her onto her bed.

Shadow groans. “Fine.” She said before turning around and lifting her flank up. “Here. Have fun.”

“Oh no, first I got to do this,” Blitz says grabbing her again. Later, Blitz had Shadow leaning into his chest, smiling happily. “You feel better?” Blitz asks.

“I’m still mad because that suit was a few thousand bits to get made. Now it’s all wasted and might as well either give it away or burn it.” Shadow said nuzzling him.

“What are you talking about, I used it,” Blitz says.

Shadow looks up to him. “Never make me feel that mad again okay? I don’t really want to feel that way to somepony I love the most.”

“Oh, you mean Spitfire?” Blitz jokes as he uses his magic to hold up a picture of them kissing.

Shadow blushes hot red as she looks away. “She got me a suit.”

“And I got both of you sexy mares,” Blitz says before kissing her neck.

Shadow moans. “You can keep the suit. Think of it as my wedding gift to you. I just needed time to get it.”

“What are you talking about? I already got my wedding gift. She’s right here.” Blitz says.

Shadow keeps blushing. “Cu…cut it out. I mean it. I also got it just in case we got overbearing like Spitfire and the others did when they wanted a whole night with you.”

“I meant it as well my beautiful light blue shadow,” Blitz says.

Shadow looks up to him. “Light blue?”

“You thought you were sneaky never letting me see you out of uniform, didn’t you?” Blitz asks before using his magic to remove her uniform.

Shadow stops him for a bit by holding onto her suit. “Blitz, I never wanted you to know for a reason.”

“Why, I like it. Now come on let me see how you look, we are married after all.” Blitz says.

Shadow looks carefully at him before getting up and sitting on the edge of the bed. “There is a reason you don’t see Shadowbolts without their uniforms and it’s all because we were reformed.”

“Go on,” Blitz says petting her mane.

Shadow bites her lip. “When Nightmare Moon was reformed into Luna, we changed as well. Unfortunately, they didn’t bother to tell the guards that.” She said pulling her hood down and shows some scarring on her neck. “Tied to the walls by collars and stocks.” She said while unzipping herself before pulling the suit down and showing some hard scaring where some of her coat isn’t even growing. “Whips to interrogate us to give information since they didn’t trust poor Luna at the time. It was the worst for us, especially for me.”

“They raped you, didn’t they?” Blitz asks now holding her.

Shadow leans back into him and hisses as he rubs against her scars. “Yes, the interrogation wasn’t watched so they did anything to get information out of us. Even making these things hurt permanently. The suits we wear has a spell and some herbs and salves from that zebra to help ease the pain. It’s why I never took the suit off on our wedding night because it would hurt more than it would feel good.”

“Shadow, come with me,” Blitz says.

Shadow looks to him. “Blitz, it won’t heal. Even Celestia and Luna tried themselves after it was all over and it didn’t work. The zebra told us this is permanent.”

“Luna also tried to heal me after I was wounded by Bloody Mary. Just trust me and let me try and help.” Blitz says.

Shadow just looks forward again. “Blitz…I want this to stay. I want this reminder.”

“Shadow, even if this doesn’t remove the scars, at least come with me to see if we can’t make it to where you don’t feel the pain,” Blitz says.

Shadow hugs herself now. “Now you see why I want everything on me, don’t you?”

“Yes, now Shadow please, do you trust me?” Blitz asks.

Shadow sighs and zips up her suit before putting the hood on. “Let’s go. You might want to take yours off first.” She said eyeing his suit and the transparent pony standing behind them.

“Alright,” Blitz says as the pony disappears and they walk to one of the infirmaries.

The mare doctor sighs as she messes with a machine and looks to Shadow. “I’ll tell you what I said before when we were at the castle, it’s not coming off.” She said as she looks over Shadow’s wounds.

“Excuse me, Minerva, time to work.” Blitz calls.

A machine came down and a probe floated in front of Shadow. “Hey girl,” Minerva said as it made a light scan her over.

“Ok, I will leave now. You stay and watch.” Blitz says to the doctor as he gets Shadow to lay onto the table.

“Blitz?” Shadow asks as the machine above her came down and she flipped herself over.

“Don’t worry, Minerva is a master at medical,” Blitz says as he slips the gas mask onto her muzzle.

Shadow quickly grabs his hoof. “Don’t lea…” Shadow tries to say before she closes her eyes and she fell asleep, snoring a bit.

“I will see you soon as I cannot take watching doctors at work for it freaks me out,” Blitz says walking outside.

A few hours later, Shadow starts to come around. She groans as she opens her eyes and then sits up and looks at herself before realizing her suit was gone. “Dammit, where’s my suit?!” She yelled getting off the table and trying to find it.

“Not showing any signs of pain.” The doctor says.

“See, told you that medical science of Mandalorians was far more advanced than magical medical.” Blitz says.

Shadow finally grabs her suit, but still feels some of her fur missing. “You couldn’t do anything for the scars?”

“Scars fade with time, just look at me,” Blitz says and, turning around, Shadow sees him riddled with scars.

Shadow sighs and puts the suit on. “At least it would feel like the old days.” She said zipping herself up.

“So now that you no longer feel pain?” Blitz asks.

Shadow looks to him before walking over to him and sitting down in front of him. “I want you to wear that suit tonight and rip off my suit and use me straight into the ground.”

“Well, it seems your sexual drive just took a jump,” Blitz says.

Shadow then looks to his hoof before grabbing it and holding it. “Just be sure you don’t hold back and never be mad at me like last night. That’s the one thing I don’t want the experience again, my own husband not listening…like the guards.”

“Oh don’t worry, I listen,” Blitz says moving a chocolate cake slice back and forth in front of her. “Like how you said you wanted chocolate cake in your sleep.”

Shadow blushes before grabbing his hoof hard and pulls him out. “Come on and hang onto that cake.”

“This is where being a unicorn comes in handy,” Blitz says holding the piece of cake in midair with magic.

Shadow smiles before looking around and then passes by the rec room where the fillies were all cowering behind Spike who was intensely focused on the game. Shadow takes another look around at all the doors before going to one and opens it and shoves him inside. “Stay here for a bit.” She said as the cake floated in front of him and she closes the door and runs off.

“Oh great, I’m locked in a closet now,” Blitz says sarcastically.

“You too, huh?” Pinkie asks.

“Pinkie, when did you get here?” Blitz asks.

Pinkie grins. “Well I made a mess and looking for a mop, but the door locked behind me.”

Blitz sighs. “Why did she lock me in here?”

Pinkie shrugs. “I don’t know, maybe she wants to role-play with you and act like an innocent mare shoved into a closet and then raped by several stallions at once.”

“Um…I doubt that, by the way where are you in the turns?” Blitz asks.

Pinkie smiles. “Getting myself prepared. I wanted to really surprise you. Hey, are you going to use that suit with me?”

“Um…no and you know the order then? Can you tell me?” Blitz asks.

Pinkie shakes her head. “I made a Pinkie Promise to not tell and you do not break a Pinkie Promise.” She said getting into his face.

Blitz smirks and uses the chance to kiss her. “How was that for a counter?” Blitz asks.

Pinkie smiles. “Aww, you do care. But I’m getting out now.”

“Huh?” Blitz asks before the door opened.

“Pinkie?” Shadow asks before grabbing her and throwing her out. “Get out of here.” She said flicking her tail at her flank before looking at Blitz and throws the suit to him. “Time to play.” She said grabbing the cake and closing the door, but leaving it open a bit.

Spike sighs as he got on the train again. “Thank goodness that’s over with. That thing is a menace and can’t be killed.” He said, laying back into the seat. Then he feels three fillies grab onto him, shivering. “Hey, it’s okay. It’s just a game.”

“Umm…” Scootaloo started.

“Oh, right we encountered them,” Spike says. “Ah, well it’s over now. Best way to deal with them is high heat and that supernova did the job.” He said, not knowing he wrapping his tail around them like a mother kitten.

“Oh this is so cute,” Shadow says. They look over and see Shadow standing in the doorway. “It’s so cute that you are protecting them.”

Spike looks confused until he looks down to the fillies and sees his tail around them before he pulls it back quickly and jumps away a little. “Sorry, sorry girls.”

Shadow smiles. “Oh, you are just a treat.” She said before walking down the hall and eating some cake along the way. Spike and the girls glare slightly to her before she passes a door and gets pulled into it and the door slams behind her.

Spike and the others looked in shock until they hear her moaning a bit. “Okay, time to go or…” Spike said grabbing some headphones.

Shadow whines as she looks up to Blitz above her and then feels a hoof pushing her shoulders to the floor and sees two more stallions on the side of her.

“Time to go Shadow, we have work to do.” Blitz says.

Shadow stares up at him as the clones massage her shoulders. “Jeez Blitz, you sure can kill a mood.”

Blitz shows her his communicator which is buzzing. “The bridge is calling, we will have to continue later, oh and you need to inform the other Shadowbolts that we can heal them enough to where they don’t feel pain,” Blitz says playing on her loyalty to her team.

Shadow sighs and lays on the ground as the clones now start to kiss her cheeks. “Listen, we deserve what we got. We deserve the pain.”

“No, you didn’t. In fact, Celestia should be ashamed she didn’t even try talking it out or compromising. She flat out demanded her to lower the moon and then started fighting her and banishing her to the moon because she didn’t get what she wanted immediately. It was her own arrogance from always getting everything she wanted or just calling them evil and fighting them.” Blitz says.

Shadow looks to him. “Can you hold me?”

“Alright, Shadow,” Blitz says grabbing her and hugging her while the other clones start to massage her back.

Shadow sighs onto his neck before nuzzling him. “Blitz, we do deserve it. We could have killed ponies and I do for lying to them all.”

“But you didn’t. Yes, you could have. You could have also invaded the griffon empire, started committing terrorist acts, or leave the country. But you didn’t, don’t beat yourself up over what could have happened.” Blitz says holding her close.

Shadow closes her eyes and buries her face into his neck. “Make me forget, please. Just do anything to make me forget it all.”

“I already have. You felt the pain for what you could have done, but now it is gone Shadow.” Blitz says holding her in his hooves.

Shadow whimpers a bit. “Blitz?” She tries to say muffled.

“Shh, it’s alright. Just let it go and free yourself from it all.” Blitz says.

Shadow whimpers some more before crying into his shoulder and neck. “Bl…” She tries to say. “When it’s over…I want you.”

“We will be a family Shadow. Just like you want.” Blitz says.

Shadow whimpers. “Blitz, I didn’t tell you or anypony, did I?”

“That you dream of having a family and foals of your own especially before you were banished with Luna?” Blitz asks.

Shadow sighs and looks to him. “They killed it.”

“You mean your ability to have foals?” Blitz asks.

Shadow sniffs. “One of the techniques to get information. After having fun with me of course.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure about that now,” Blitz says smiling.

Shadow looks to him. “What are you talking about?”

“I told you, Minerva is a master at healing and repaired all damage,” Blitz says touching her stomach.

Shadow holds a hoof over his. “You mean…?”

“Yeah, you can now be a mother. Now go share the wonderful news with your team, especially the mares.” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. “Blitz, thank you for coming into my life.”

“Yeah, I am pretty awesome.” Blitz jokes sticking his tongue out sideways.

Shadow smirks before grabbing his tongue in her mouth and kisses him. She separates after a bit. “When it comes to it. Take me all the way, but even more and really make me pregnant. I want everything, including those clones.”

“I see, well before that, go talk to Octavia. You will most likely find her in her room listening to classical.” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. “Why? She isn’t the stallion meat I’m looking for.”

“Because she is also looking forward to being a mother and could give you advice,” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles and kisses him. “Okay, but only because it’s you. However, you better give me the best damn night ever.” She spits to the side of her. “Unlike those guards who likes to just some fun with mares. Seriously, I think Celestia hired rapists into her guards.”

“Well the standards for most royal guards have slipped,” Blitz says as Pinkie drums in the background.

Shadow looks to him. “I don’t get it.”

“The guards were almost laughable if you were at the wedding of Shining Armor and princess Cadance,” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. “I heard. Jeez, once enemies and now friends.”

“But that is why I think Spitfire asked me to come to whip some of her cadets into shape,” Blitz says.

Shadow sighs. “You better go, but you better treat me nicely or rather rough after you come back.”

“Not before it’s your turn on the list,” Pinkie says.

They sigh and the closet door opens and the clones place Pinkie outside before heading back in and closing the door. “I’m so keeping this thing,” Blitz said looking to the suit. “You think I could transfer it to another suit or outfit?”

Shadow shrugs. “I paid a lot of bits for it. I don’t know, but maybe that princess you took might have an idea. Now, promise me you’ll come back and take me like a rapist later tonight.”

“You have been talking to Twilight,” Blitz says flatly.

Shadow grins. “No, I really like being gang-raped.”

“Just go see Octavia after telling your team and just tell them to go to that infirmary and ask Minerva to operate,” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. “One last touch?”

Blitz lightly smacks her flank. “How is that?” Blitz asks.

Shadow moans. “I want more like this, treat me like a slut, okay?” She said letting go and heading to the door.

“I won’t when you bare a foal,” Blitz says.

Shadow looks back at him. “I know, just treat me the craziest way you can at the time, okay?”

“Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. I’ll leave that as a surprise for you to ponder on.” Blitz says.

Shadow giggles. “Just give me the craziest one tonight okay? I really need something, especially if it’s you.”

“No, it’s not your turn,” Pinkie says.

Shadow pushes Pinkie away and out of view. “Please, maybe when everypony is asleep?”

“We shall see. Also, since we are here, we are going to stay awhile at Omega.” Blitz says.

Shadow grins. “Cool, later my potent stallion.” She said before walking away.

Blitz walks off to the bridge. “Minerva, tell them to quit buzzing me. I’m on my way.” Blitz says a little annoyed.

Minerva sighs. “Blitz, I heard, couldn’t stop myself. No one should go through that.”

“Then I have a new order. Dig and find those responsible. Knowing Celestia, she covered it up so it wouldn’t come back to bite her that she can’t control her own guards.” Blitz says with a look Minerva knew all too well.

Minerva stayed silent for a bit. “Of course sir. I’ll what I can find.”

Blitz kept glaring until he spots the CMC sleeping in a pile and Spike curled around them. He smiled and turns the game and TV off before grabbing a blanket and putting it over them and turning off the lights as he left. “At least there are good things in this world.” He said to himself.

“Chief on deck,” Minerva announced as Blitz entered.

Blitz waves them off. “At ease. What’s the situation?”

“Aria’s ships just finished and we are cleared to dock,” Meratan says.

“Alright, downgrade to standby mode and tell the technicians to start working on the hyperdrive when we are docked,” Blitz says.

Meratan nods. “Any orders while docked?”

“Shut every drive we don’t need and only run auxiliary power and emergency power. Also, what is the status on those nine survivors?” Blitz asks.

Meratan looks over her tablet. “Well, they are fine and stabilized. No signs of infections too.” Blitz raises a hoof. “And their psych evals are fine. We played the game, Blitz.” She said making him put his hoof down.

Blitz nods. “Okay, then check over everything still and make sure there is no form of parasite or anything in the vents. I still had nightmares about them for a while after playing. Couldn’t even go in my own bathroom.” He said slightly shivering.

Meratan nods. “Yes sir, the scan is still going so we should know about anything soon. Also, one of your wives needs you. The blue one who works for the performance team, Fleet…something.”

Blitz nods. “Okay, make sure we are paid up and ready to go soon.” He said leaving.
