Fly to the Stars and Back (Redone)

Fleetfoot sighs as she lays down on the bed and tries to close her eyes but then looks to her desk again. “Why?” She asks herself as she got up and heads to it and opens a drawer and takes something out before sitting down. She presses her lips together as she looks to her last true photo taken by her mother before they could truly leave and go their separate ways. “I still miss you.”

Fleetfoot leans her head back as she closes her eyes and remembers it all. “Come on Shriek. We’re almost there.” She opens her eyes and finds herself young and the town before she left it and she was heading past the mine and to the lake nearby. “Come on.” She said jumping over a dead log.

Shriek, one of her friends, tried to jump after her. “Slow down, you know I’m not fast like you.” She said, trying to keep up.

Fleetfoot giggles as she kept running. “Slowpoke. How are you going to race with me if you don’t keep up?”

Shriek grins. “By cheating, you know that.”

Fleetfoot just gives her a look. “And they would kick you out sooner than uncle Glider.”

Shriek groans as she dodges a tumbleweed that hasn’t broken off yet. “You know he’s nice to me.”

Fleetfoot opens her wings and flaps her wings pretty fast to hover while looking backward at her. “And you know he hates us when together.”

Shriek giggles. “And that you are the worst liar you are.”

Fleetfoot frowns. “Hey, I’m a great liar.” She said before her back hoof hits a log and she flips in the air before circling right side up and sliding backward. “That was close. I can’t explain another cut like last time.”

Shriek frowns. “Why can’t I do that?” She asks with her wings fluttering in irritation.

Fleetfoot smirks. “Because I’m good. Now let’s go.” She said before running off. “Ahhhhhh!” She yelled as she slides down a slope and soon splashed into the water. She gasped as she brought her head back up and looks around to find herself in the lake. “All right. Come on in Shriek, the water’s great.” Fleetfoot said as she splashed around.

Shriek frowns as she looks to the water. “Are you sure…this is clear?”

Fleetfoot gives a raspberry. “Of course I’m sure, now get in.”

Shriek groans as she places a hoof in before following with the rest of her. “Hum…not bad.” She said to herself.

Fleetfoot smiles. “Told you. Now let’s find that treasure.” She said before taking a deep breath and diving into the water.

Shriek sighs and takes a deep breath before diving too. She opens her eyes and finds Fleetfoot swimming down into the cavern below and swims after her. As her lungs burned up from lack of oxygen she saw finally catches up to Fleetfoot and they soon surface. “Geez, warn me how much time we are doing next time!” Shriek…shrieked.

Fleetfoot smiles. “There’s the Shriek I know. Now come on, we’re close if I remember the map correctly.” She said swimming to the shore and heads into a tunnel.

Shriek groans out loud and swims out of the water and follows her. After following her for a bit, they came upon rail cart tracks. “If I’m right and I’m usually am,” Fleetfoot said looking around.

“No, you’re not.”

Fleetfoot starts pointing. “It should be, that way.” She said pointing to the left and immediately trips. “Ow.”

Shriek grins. “What’s wrong, tripped on a rock?”

Fleetfoot groans as she got up. “No, just tripped on a…twig?” She asks looking at the offending twig.

Shriek looks before shrugging her shoulders. “Come on, let’s hurry up and find that thing.” She said walking past her. Fleetfoot sighs and follows, not noticing the twig glow blue. “So how deep is it in?” Shriek asks after a while.

Fleetfoot looks around. “It should be…here.” She said heading into an area where the tracks end and into a dead end. “Now let’s dig.” She said picking up a shovel left behind.

Shriek groans at the thought of digging, but grabs a pickaxe and started to dig with her, not seeing wood pieces glow blue before being dragged off. “Yes! I can’t believe it, we did it!” Fleetfoot cheered as she pulled out a locked box.

Shriek sighs and smiles before pulling out her bobby pins in her mane. “Okay, here is where the master lock picker gets to work.” She said making the bobby pins to what she needed them to be.

Fleetfoot couldn’t stand still. “I can’t believe we’re going to be finding the rare papers and finally own this mine.”

Shriek smiles as she starts working on the lock. “Yeah, yeah, just remember, half and half.”

Fleetfoot nods. “Yeah, sure, but a whole mine. Some say that the veins in this mine still have gold and silver. Just think of what we could do.”

Shriek then frowns. “You know they shut this place down because of the unstable roof and everything.”

Fleetfoot grins as she almost readies to pounce. “But now with the techniques they have today, we won’t have to worry.”

Shriek rolls her eyes. “Just one more tumbler.” She said fiddling with it. Fleetfoot starts jumping around. “Fleetfoot, I can’t concentrate with you breathing down my neck.” Shriek said as she almost got the last one.

“Um…I’m over here,” Fleetfoot said in front of her and waving.

Shriek pauses and looks behind her slowly to see a wooden snout that snorted a putrid wooden smell. “Ahhhhh!” Shriek yelled as she lets go of the lock and barrels backward right beside Fleetfoot. “A…a…a…timberwolf!”

Fleetfoot hugs Shriek as they close their eyes and wait for the blow, but she then opens her eyes and sees it trying to walk to them, but it’s limping. “Wha…?”

Shriek looks to the exit and the timberwolf. “Come on, let’s grab the box and get out of here.” She said frantically pulling on Fleetfoot’s hoof.

Fleetfoot remained lock in place as the timberwolf growls and tries to get to them, but couldn’t as it still limped and it couldn’t go much before falling a bit. What’s more, is that the green glow was actually blue. She leans her head over and sees its back leg missing some pieces. “But, they get all the pieces.” She said to herself before grabbing the shovel.

“Yeah, yeah, kill it!” Shriek yelled as she stayed where she was.

Fleetfoot looks to the shovel and then the timberwolf as it looks at her, trying to growl and scare her away. Fleetfoot breathes in and closes her eyes before bringing the shovel down and break the handle and then again and again until pieces about the size of each leg part were made. “Here,” Fleetfoot said moving the pieces to it.

Shriek just blanches at this. “What are you doing?!” Shriek shrieks.

Fleetfoot just smiles as the timberwolf looks to the pieces of wood and then back to her before taking a big breath and blows on the wood. Fleetfoot sighs in relief as she watches the wood pieces glow blue before forming onto the timberwolf’s leg. “There we go, feel better?” She asks, still not trying anything else at this point.

The timberwolf just stares at her. “Come on, let’s go.” Shriek said pulling at Fleetfoot’s leg.

Fleetfoot frown. “Fine. Bye now.” She said smiling to the timberwolf before walking away with Shriek who was carrying the box.

The timberwolf slowly got up as he tested his leg slightly as he watches the two leave.

Shriek breathes out carefully as they head around a corner and looks to Fleetfoot. “That was close. What were you thinking?”

Fleetfoot shrugs. “Thinking I should help, it looked hurt.”

Shriek pushes her. “Dang it Fleet, one of these days, you’re going to get me killed.”

Fleetfoot smiles. “At least I helped him.”

Shriek frowns. “And maybe helped him get us killed easier.”

Fleetfoot stops her. “We have to find another way out or this box might get wet.”

Shriek looks to the box. “Oh yeah, but how the heck are we going to…is that light?”

Fleetfoot looks behind them and sees a ray of light shining from the entrance. “Yeah.” She said following it with Shriek behind her.

They walk for a bit before ending up at the entrance of the cave which has been dugout. “This thing was sealed up, how did this happen?” Shriek asks, looking at the town beyond.

Fleetfoot thinks for a few before perking her ears up and looks behind her to see a blue glow behind a corner of the cave. “Let’s just take it. We got a mine to own.” She said walking out and heading to town.

Shriek becomes a bit worried before running after her. “Wait up!”

The timberwolf blinks as he watches them leave and looks to his fixed leg and sniffing it for a few seconds and remembers the smell.

Fleetfoot moans as she rolls her head around. “Trikal.” She whispered out.

“Fleetfoot?” Spitfire asks.

Fleetfoot opens her eyes and finds Spitfire sitting by her. “Oh sir, sorry, must have dozed off.” She said rubbing her eyes.

“We called off the mission and are now at a port,” Spitfire explains to Fleetfoot as she felt something laying beside her.

Fleetfoot looks over and sees Terran laying beside her. “Hey boy, you need something?” She asks trying to smile and pets his head.

“I found him here laying beside you,” Spitfire tells her.

Fleetfoot smiles and rubs his head. “Thanks, boy, but you can go. I’m fine.”

“So interested in the port?” Spitfire asks.

Fleetfoot sits up. “Sure, might as well go see what’s going on.”

“Fleetfoot?” Blitz asks opening the door.

“Oh, and there is my escort,” Fleetfoot says jumping onto Blitz.

Blitz chuckles and looks to see a photo and Terran on the bed. “Can we have some time alone you two?” He asks stepping aside with Fleetfoot looking a bit worried. Spitfire nods and heads out with Terran on her heels before she closes the door behind her. “You still thinking about him?” He asks looking at the photo.

“Yes,” Fleetfoot says rubbing her head against him.

Blitz sighs. “What were you thinking about?”

Fleetfoot looks to the photo. “I and my old friend Shriek went into the old mine to find the deed. Ended up finding the box and Trikal, the timberwolf. Course, we found part of the deed, that’s good.”

Blitz smiles. “You end up owning the mine?”

Fleetfoot brings her head down. “Yeah, on the building outside the mine. Fat load of good that did.”

“Now you, along with me, own the entire town,” Blitz says starting to pet her.

Fleetfoot kept her head down as she leans into his petting. “I just wish…he was here.”

“You laid him to rest Fleetfoot. You did all you could for him and even got back at the one who did wrong by you.” Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smiles a little. “Yeah, but…I wish I never let him go. We could have found a place. Somewhere where we could have a chance.”

“Maybe, but you can’t keep beating yourself up about what could have been. It will just bring you pain.” Blitz says holding her now.

Fleetfoot leans into his chest, trying to not show her face. “Blitz?”

“Yes, love?” Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot looks slightly to the door. “Can I have Terran for a few days?”

“Just don’t do anything inappropriately. I’m the only one allowed to have you.” Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smiles and nuzzles his chest. “Thanks, Blitz.”

“Anything for one of my girls. Now any chance you will tell me the order of turns you are all taking?” Blitz asks sneakily.

Fleetfoot giggles. “You’re going to have to work for that. Now let’s see this port.” She said getting out from under his hoof and heading for the door.

“It’s a space station.” Blitz calls.

Fleetfoot just giggles.

“You’re sure you don’t want to come Spike?” Twilight asks as most of the crew headed to the airlock.

“Well seeing as the crew informed me that Omega is mostly just crime, yes,” Spike says.

Twilight sighs. “Okay, just watch the fillies.” She said seeing them stare and play on the big screen.

Spike waves her off. “Yeah, yeah.” He said now on another game.

Twilight smiles before following the rest of the crew and family and meets everyone outside, most of the crew heading off to where they want. “So what now?” She asks Blitz as he messes with a map.

“To see the queen of Omega,” Blitz says.

Everyone looks confused as they follow Blitz and sees a long line for a, what looks like, a private party. “You sure we can go to?” Applejack asks seeing the line and they are just walking to the door.

“She is expecting me,” Blitz says as he just passes by the bouncer.

Blitz smiles as he hears the ones in line cry out. “Oh boy.” He said as they head down the hall and into the one place his girls never thought they would be in. “What the heck?!” Applejack asks.

“It’s a club,” Blitz says walking straight to the V.I.P. section.

“One moment.” An alien that the girls didn’t recognize says as it starts scanning them.

Twilight leans over to Blitz. “Um…?” She asks carefully pointing to it.

“He’s a Batarian,” Blitz says.

The Batarian huffs and stops scanning. “Aria will see you now.” He said taking the gun in hand to a guard position again.

Blitz nods and walks up the stairs with the girls still looking around and finds Aria on her favorite couch and playing something. “You’re playing a video game?”

Aria scoffs. “After your fiasco, I need to brush up.” She said putting the controller down and nodding her head to the side at him.

“So it has been awhile Aria,” Blitz says trying to avoid addressing something as he sat down on the other side of the couch.

Aria huffs. “Remember what I said the first time we met Cross?” Blitz nods. “Don’t fuck with Aria. Now tell me what’s going on.”

“Mandalore made me the leader of a new clan. As one of the first mission we were sent to find the missing sister ship of my new ship docked with your station.” Blitz says.

Aria scoffs. “Yeah, of course, your kind would lose stuff. Now I don’t have to worry about getting private ventilation, do I?” She asks glaring at him.

“I doubt it. By the way, meet some of my wives and before you ask, the male to female ratio is like one to seven for my species right now.” Blitz says.

Aria chuckles as she sees the mares all huddled up together. “Congratulations, you just became me, well close enough on one level.”

“Ah ha ha ha.” Blitz laughs sarcastically.

Aria smiles. “So what else do you need?”

“Nothing much, our techs are just overhauling the hyperdrive. You know how it is with a new ship.” Blitz says.

Aria waves him off. “Then you better get out of here and handle the rest of your business. I’m sure you got deals to take care of.”

“Yeah, see you around Aria,” Blitz says leaving.

Aria just watches as he leaves with the girls and goes back to playing her game.

Blitz sighs as he heads down and goes into the door under the section to the market place. “Well, that went well.”

“What’s the story between you two?” Applejack asks.

“She tried to make me into her pet once because she found me cute. When she learned I was sentient it was just awkward.” Blitz says.

Rainbow snickers. “Cute?”

“Aria species is the Asari and they are an all-female species,” Blitz says.

Twilight gets confused. “Then…how do they…?” She tries to ask as she pushes her hooves together.

“Look it up back on the ship,” Blitz says embarrassed.

Applejack leans in. “You did it, didn’t you?”

“No,” Blitz says flatly.

Applejack grins and hooks a hoof around him. “Good, because you’re ours.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Blitz says walking along with the others following.

Spike yawns as he finally beats the game and lays back. “Finally, that’s my fifteenth game. My personal record.”

Scootaloo huffs. “Don’t flatter yourself, we’re catching up.”

Spike smiles. “Keep trying and watch that open…” He hears a splat. “Panel.”

“What are you four doing?” Octavia asks walking in with Shadow.

Spike sighs. “Playing some games and killing time. Want to play?”

“No thanks, I got other matters to take care of,” Octavia says.

Shadow smiles. “I’ll play, what do you got?”

“What you want?” Spike asks as Octavia gets a glass of water.

Shadow grins and jumps onto the couch. “Something horror. Right my fillies?” She asks with a creepy face to them. The three eeped and clung to Spike. Shadow just giggles.

Octavia sighs as she heard the banter and heads past the newsroom. “Crazy mare.” She said to herself as the lights go off and some of the screens gain some static as she heads up.

“We going to continue our seminars later?” Shadow asks.

Octavia groans. “Yeah!” She yelled as the door closes on her and she goes up.

Shadow smiles as she turns back to the screen. “Looks creepy and that’s one creepy bathroom.”

Spike chuckles as the kitchen lights go out and they didn’t notice. “Yeah, heard most players don’t go into their bathroom after doing this.”

Shadow laughs. “Really, scared them this much?” She asks as some of the room’s lights start to go out.

Minutes later. “Wasn’t that bad,” Shadow says as all four stared at her.

Spike sighs and puts the controller down. “For me yeah, those three, nope.” He said looking to the fillies huddled together.

“Yeah, if I remember correctly, sees bunking with some of the wonderbolts,” Shadow says.

Spike sighs as he watches the screen gain some static. “Dang it, now?” He said heading to the screen and watches as the lights and screen go off and they can see a white mare and black-maned and tail in a black business suit in the reflection with no face and just a white coat with some black tendrils moving behind it. “Slendermane.” He whispered fearfully.

Shadow grabs the fillies and gets out and Spike follows except he is stopped as a black tendril block the door. He looks slowly toward Slendermane as it walks to him. “Wha…what do you want?” He asks covering himself.

“Boo.” Minerva’s voice says.

Spike looks up. “Minerva?” He asks accusingly.

The Slendermane image flickers before it shuts down to reveal her body. “Hi there.” She said smiling.

“Oh, that was such a good prank,” Shadow says.

Spike glares at her. “You knew?”

“No, just saying,” Shadow says letting go of the fillies.

Spike sighs. “How do you know the legend anyway?”

“I did a lot of research on the planet,” Minerva says smirking.

Spike frowns. “Not funny.”

Minerva giggles. “Funny to us.”

Shadow laughs as she steps up to her. “Oh yeah, we mares rock.” She said hooking a leg around her.

‘When is Blitz going to get back so they won’t be focusing on me?’ Spike thinks.

The fillies grab him and lift him up before placing him on the couch. They give him the controller and they lean against him. “You want us gone?” Applebloom whispered.

“I’m mad at those two, not you three,” Spike says.

Sweetie Belle smiles and lightly nuzzles him. “Well that’s good, but you have to admit, that’s a good prank.”

Spike huffs as he starts playing again. “Not to me.”

“Hey Malgus, you here?” Blitz calls opening the door.

“Ow!” They heard as they hear a crash from behind a desk. They look over and see an alien just like Meratan comes up with parts over him. “Dang it man. How many times have I told you not to come into my sleeping time?!”

“Yeah, yeah,” Blitz says dismissively.

Malgus groans. “What do you want?” He asks as he rubs his head.

“Well to inform you, you will be starting to provide stuff for an entire clan now. Mandalore has made me chief of a clan.” Blitz says.

The group could have sworn they heard a cash register sound. “Really?” Malgus asks wide-eyed.

“Yes, you know what that means,” Blitz says.

Malgus laughs and messes with something on the desk. “Have fun.” He said before his whole back wall opens up and reveals a whole assortment of armor and weapons. “Just tell me what you need.”

“Oh, are those an M-99 Saber and a Salarian STG Scorpion I see?” Blitz asks.

Malgus grins. “Oh yeah, fresh off the line.”

“How did you get the Scorpion? That is supposed to be top secret gear?” Blitz asks.

Malgus shrugs. “Found it.”

“You took it off a corpse of a salarian you or your boys killed then,” Blitz says picking up the Saber.

Malgus smiles. “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

“I’ll take them both,” Blitz says.

Malgus chuckles. “I thought you might. Want the old Avenger rifle?” He asks pointing to a gun on the wall all alone.

“Yeah, never can have too many good guns lying around, also I want you to get me a hundred N7-Valkyrie for my crew,” Blitz says causing Malgus to whistle.

“Really, that big a crew?” He asks.

“You heard the new ship that just docked?” Blitz asked.

Malgus huffs. “No, that’s you?”

“The newest Mandalorian ship, the Darkline,” Blitz says.

Malgus grins. “Want some upgrades for that sweet piece of ass?”

“Maybe, come on board for an hour,” Blitz says.

Malgus smiles. “Try the shopkeeper next door. He’s your shipman for upgrades. Though, I can do weapons and recommend armor for ships. Basic, after that, it’s him if you want to stick with it.”

“I’m offering you to come onto it and see it. After all, you will be supplying the Blitzkrieg clan’s arsenal.” Blitz says.

Malgus sighs. “Fine, just don’t have them shoot me. I don’t have to remind you about last time.”

Blitz looks innocent. “That was a mistake.”

Malgus glares at him. “You turned my shop into swiss cheese.”

“And inadvertently saved you from a few blood pack goons.” Blitz reminds.

Malgus points at him. “Doesn’t excuse hurting my baby.” He said as she starts to shine one of the weapons with a rag.

“Hey, at least it got another kill when it smashed the vorcha’s head in,” Blitz says.

Malgus scoffs. “As I said, doesn’t excuse it.”

“Just go and don’t hit on my second in command, she has a kid,” Blitz says.

Malgus grimaces. “Please, I don’t go for those with kids. Nice, but brings down the flair.”

Blitz sighs as he watches the relay system spin around after dealing with Omega. “Twilight, did you ever think you wouldn’t be here?” He asks her as she sat on his lap in his room.

“Sometimes and mostly it would be without you,” Twilight says smiling.

Blitz smiles. “And you never thought you would be with somepony, did you?” He asks rubbing her cutie mark.

Twilight shakes her head. “No, and I’m not regretting it.”

“You might come to regret it with me. So are you making any plans to receive the next addition to our family?” Blitz asks.

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

“I told you already, Octavia is in the first stage of pregnancy.” Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. “We’re making a foal room, but it’s going to be hard for all of us now.”

“Yeah, especially since it will be like Vinyl. A Dhampir.” Blitz says.

Twilight looks worried to him. “Are you ready?”

“I’m unsure, but you know we are going to have to rely heavily on Vinyl’s advice on it and I don’t think she has been informed about it yet,” Blitz says.

“Why is that?” Twilight asks.

“If she had she would be knocking down that door,” Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and leans her head into his neck. “Blitz, are you ready to be a father?”

“I don’t know. I’m not sure if any are truly ready to be a father.” Blitz says as they start hearing banging on the door.

Twilight smiled a little. “Shouldn’t you open the door?”

“Vinyl, just tell the door to open.” Blitz calls.

The door opens and Vinyl rushes in and jumps onto the bed. “Octy is pregnant?”

“I know, she told me already and I’m in here thinking it over,” Blitz says looking at his helmet on the table.

Vinyl and Twilight follows his gaze. “What exactly are you thinking about?” Twilight asks seeing the helmet.

“If my life experience has prepared me enough,” Blitz says as he feels Vinyl climb onto him.

Vinyl nuzzles him. “Are you worried because it will be a vampire?”

“No, not that. I’m worried about being a father and it will be a dhampir and speaking of which, Vinyl, you are going to help raise it.” Blitz says.

Vinyl nods. “Don’t have a choice since you don’t know how to raise one.”

“Yeah, I’m an expert and yet all I know is the differences between Vampires and dhampir,” Blitz says.

Vinyl smiles. “Yes, yes you do.” She said starting to nuzzle his chest. “Are you ready, ready to be a real part of the family?”

“I’m unsure. For the first time in my life, I’m unsure of what to do next.” Blitz says.

Twilight and Vinyl nuzzle him. “It’s okay, we’re there for you,” Twilight said.

“And I thought you two were still at odds with each other,” Blitz says looking at Vinyl to find she wasn’t wearing her glasses.

Vinyl smiles as she looks to the smiling Twilight. “We thought it would be best for the foals coming in to not be at odds and ends of each other.”

“That’s good and I noticed you snuck into Aria’s club,” Blitz says.

Vinyl grins. “I tried out a bit of dancing and boy did I gain some tips.”

“You stay away from the Asari dancing on stage,” Blitz says.

Vinyl giggles. “You won’t believe how much they go for a pony plot.”

“Yeah, Asari can pursue anything,” Blitz says.

Vinyl giggles. “Want me to do a private dance?”

“No, I prefer to just have you,” Blitz says.

Vinyl frowns. “Aw, why not?”

“Because it’s more fun for both of us to be together literally connected,” Blitz says.

Vinyl blushes a bit as Twilight blushes a lot. “Dang it, Blitz. Don’t you ever think about what to say?” Twilight asks.

“Yes and I finally got Vinyl back with an innuendo,” Blitz says smirking.

Vinyl grins. “So what are you going to do now?”

“I will wait till the techs are done with overhauling the hyperdrive then call Mandalore and inform him what happened. He won’t be happy with losing the ship and getting no resources, but in a no-win situation he will understand.” Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. “That’s good, but after that?”

“He probably will give us a new mission,” Blitz says.

Vinyl moves up beside him. “And what are we going to do while we’re staying here?”

“I’m open to suggestions besides the drugs,” Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. “We’ll send up a mare for you.”

“Why, I got two right here? Unless you want to tell me the order you girls are going by.” Blitz says smiling.

Both Twilight and Vinyl smile. “Sorry Blitz, you have to work for it.” Vinyl said.

Blitz frowns. “Now you girls aren’t being fair to me. I thought I was your husband?”

“You are, but remember we are royalty,” Twilight says.

Blitz sighs. “Then how about telling your prince?”

“Nope.” They say sarcastically.

Blitz groans. “Just get out of here you two.”

“No can do, we have things to talk about,” Vinyl says.

Blitz frowns. “What?”

“Well for one, vampires need lots of blood when they reach a stage of pregnancy to keep the baby healthy,” Vinyl says.

Blitz looks worried at her. “What?”

“Yeah, it’s like eating healthy to normal ponies,” Vinyl says.

Blitz groans. “Great, let’s hope they infirmary has enough blood packs for me.”

“It will be the same for me,” Vinyl says nuzzling his neck.

Blitz sighs. “Thanks for being there for me.”

“What would you do without me?” Vinyl asks.

Blitz presses his lips together. “Maybe not live well. You’re one of my mares.”

“You know it.” She says playfully tapping his chest.

Blitz smiles. “Can you give me something marshmallow?”

Vinyl growls lowly as Twilight giggles.

Blitz chuckles and shows his neck to her while he looks to Twilight. “How about I feed you for a bit?”

“Oh, so make fun of me then feed me huh? Alright, you get away with it this time.” Vinyl says.

Blitz smiles. “Well, want to drink?”

“Sorry, too bloody for me.” Twilight jokes.

Blitz holds a hoof behind her neck. “Then how about a kiss for you?”

“I’m for that,” Twilight says holding him down while Vinyl bites him.

Blitz clenches his teeth before calming down and then Twilight kisses him as some blood drips down his neck and Vinyl tries to lick up most of them. Twilight sighs as she lets go of the kiss for a bit. “Doesn’t that hurt?” She asks as she sees his blood starting to smear all over his neck.

“I’m used to pain,” Blitz says before Twilight taps her horn to his.

Blitz takes a sharp breath as he feels the spark. “Still can’t get used to that.”

Twilight smiles a bit as she just sends magic through her horn and into his. “How about that?”

Blitz gulps. “Shocking, literally.”

Twilight gives a kiss to his nose. “Good. Do you love both of us?”

“I thought that was a given and you half-mad we haven’t been continuing my magic lessons, aren’t you?” Blitz says before starting to laugh nervously.

Twilight smirks. “Vinyl, bite him harder.”

Blitz yelps as he feels neck being tighten. “I’m sorry.” He tries to say.

Twilight strokes his head. “Your lessons are over. We can keep working on the relationship lesson though. You still need to get used to us.”

Blitz strokes Vinyl’s mane as a way to get her to lighten up. “Okay, I’ll do it.”

Twilight taps Vinyl’s head. “Lighten up now, we got a new school lesson for him.”

“It just occurred to me I never thanked you Twi,” Blitz says.

“For what, teaching you something else besides whole use telekinesis with your magic and shooting it?” Twilight asks.

“Well…yes,” Blitz says embarrassed.

Twilight smiles. “Marrying me and being with all of us is enough. I think that’s a good thank you for me and the rest of us.”

“Wait, he couldn’t do what?” Vinyl asks smirking.

Blitz groans. “Okay, I can’t use my magic that well.”

“Oh, I am going to get so much mileage out of this,” Vinyl says smiling, Blitz’s blood still on her lips.

Blitz frowns. “Just keep going.”

“Which reminds me, we are going to keep your magic skills brushed up. No husband of mine is going to be a slouch.” Twilight says as Vinyl mimics what she did earlier.

Blitz closes his eyes. “Yeah, keep bringing down your important stallion. Let me feel me feel like I’m a little foal who isn’t going to make it in life.”

“We are just having fun with you. Now I believe it is about time for somepony’s turn.” Twilight says.

Blitz looks to her. “Who?”

Vinyl smiles and licks his neck to stop the blood. “Next one up is Spitfire and she wants you to wear another version of that Wonderbolt outfit Shadow game you. It’s supposed to be a Shadowbolt uniform.”

“It doesn’t have the same enchantment does it?” Blitz asks.

“No, she just wants to role-play a bit,” Twilight says.

Blitz chuckles. “What, being attacked by the Shadowbolts and then raped by one?”

“No, more like showing who is dominate,” Vinyl says smirking as they get up.

Blitz grins as he puts on his clothes. “Really, geez. She is like Shadow, but without more stallions.”

“What was that?” Spitfire asks.

Blitz shot up. “Oh Spitfire, how long were you there?” He asks nervously.

“A few minutes, now come here you,” Spitfire said with a medical box.

Blitz groans as Twilight and Vinyl leave as Spitfire starts to work on him and they head for the elevator which comes up and Shadow comes in and places an outfit on a nearby table before following Twilight and Vinyl back down. “Have fun.” She said before the door closed.

“Whoa, she bit you harder than usual,” Spitfire says bandaging his neck.

Blitz sighs. “It was the least I could do for her. Besides, Twilight ordered her to bite harder.”

“I’ll talk to her later, but for now we have some time alone,” Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. “Yeah, we do. But why do you want to be dominated?”

“Oh, you misunderstand. We Wonderbolts dominate you Shadowbolts.” Spitfire says smirking.

Blitz chuckles as he gets up and grabs the uniform. “Really now? Want to really test that theory?” He asks looking over the uniform.

“Yeah, I am and when we get back to our home planet, we have a special surprise for you,” Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles as he puts on the uniform. “And you’re not going to tell me what it is or the order of you mares?”

“No, I just don’t want to spoil the surprise now.” Spitfire stops and pushes Blitz onto his back and holds him down on the bed. “Let’s play.”

Blitz smirks. “Been waiting for a while.” He said before trying to lunge for her.

Spike grins as he cheers and finally puts the controller down. “Finally.”

The fillies on the couch watching as he played through the whole game in one sitting. “Spike, how many games have you been playing and finished?” Scootaloo asks concerned.

Spike thinks for a few. “I think…around thirty.”

The fillies look surprised at him. “What?”

Spike shrugs. “Yeah, it gets easier as you play more and more.”

Sweetie Belle tilts her head. “And since when did you start?”

Spike smiles. “Since I got my first tablet and that was for collecting all of the books in Twilight’s library. I was able to finish two games before Twilight took it away and when Minerva gave me my own, I finished at least ten before Blitz told me about this place.”

Scootaloo hops down beside him. “Wow, so how much are you planning to do?”

Spike grins. “As many as I like.”

Sweetie Belle hops down on the other side. “And how long would that take?”

Spike thinks for a few. “At least seven hours at most for one game. So keep the number as average for most of the games I play. So seven times thirty is…two hundred and ten hours of work already.”

The fillies stared wide-eyed at him. “Wow, and you’re going to play the best games for even longer?”

Spike chuckles. “Heck yeah, I will. As long Twilight doesn’t give me work, but the chores are mostly library stuff and since everything is already being taken care of, there isn’t much.”

Applebloom hops down onto his head and he struggles to keep her steady. “Well, you still have to cook.”

Spike then thinks about it. “Oh yeah, I do. I wonder what I should make next.” He asks himself.

The three fillies close in to him. “How about a chocolate cupcake with sprinkles?” Scootaloo asks.

The other two nod as Spike thinks. “Okay, I can have it ready in an hour. Want some?”

The three look to each other. “Nah.” They said together before looking back to him. “So how about our next mission? What’s next on the list?” Sweetie Belle asks.

Spike shrugs. “I don’t know, I don’t make the missions.”

They all groan or sigh as they waste time now before hearing somepony walk by and sees Blitz. “Maybe we’ll get one soon,” Spike said as he watches him head down the hall.

Blitz cracks his neck and rubs at it as he tries to get rid of the kink from laying down too much. “Boy, she can really put you into the bed.” He said to himself as he waited for the call to be answered.

“Okay Cross, what do you…are you alright?” Mandalore asks as he sees the state he’s in.

Blitz chuckles. “Just a little thing called wives at night.”

Mandalore smiles. “Alright, can’t hold women back for you. Trust me, I know. Like that woman who was after you during training. At least she found someone. Any case, what do you got for me?”

Blitz sighs. “Well, I’m going to be blunt. We found and lost the ship. Turns out Dead Space became real and they encountered the first ship from the series. Became infected and killed most of the crew. I had to evacuate them and put them in quarantine. Right now, we’re in Omega and refilling everything we can and now preparing for anything at this point. Also, we blew up a star system.”

Mandalore stares at him before closing his eyes and pinching the bridge between his eyes. “Cross, what am I going to do with you?” He asks rhetorically. “Alright.” He said finally as he throws his hand up. “As for destroying a star system and the ship, you got another mission. This one is going to be more fun at least. You’re heading to planet Noli. A team of scientists wants the best team to collect some samples and information. Maybe something boring would make the right payment for you.”

Blitz looks down and sighs. “Okay, when do I need to be there?”

Mandalore smiles a little. “In a week’s time does it expire. So you better get it done. This isn’t as fun, but it pays a lot.”

Blitz nods. “Yes, sir.”

Mandalore watches him as he turns and heads out. “Hey.” He said making him stop. “Don’t forget about the family.” He said before cutting the communication.

Blitz takes a small look behind him. “Yeah.” He said to himself before heading out and just ended up heading to the weapons room. “Okay, collection and information gathering. Please tell me you got something good enough to keep us awake while there.” He asks the crew there.

“Well, there are rumors of some large predators roaming the area.” One of the crew says.

“Perfect, we can get some hunting in,” Blitz says.

One of the crew nods. “Yes it can be, but if you need something during the collection time, try this.” He said showing a large scanner that looked extremely bulky.

“Ok, then give me an estimate on how long till the engineers are ready,” Blitz says.

The other crew member sighs. “At least a few more days and it’ll be ready to go online again.”

Blitz nods. “Okay, now ready the collection systems for us and the ship just in case.” He said while looking at the weapons on the wall.

The weapons master smirks. “See anything you like?”

“Yes, yes, y…OMG. Is that a black widow sniper rifle?” A crew member asks.

The weapons master laughs. “Yes, it is. Mandalore asked for every single type of weapon we had in the whole arsenal to be placed here. At least one of each and your crew able to hold each of the highest mass-produced ones.” He said cleaning a pistol.

“Well get ready to have a lot of N7 Valkyries to be added to the arsenal,” Blitz says.

The weapons master looks to him. “Really, a new shipment coming in? Already?”

Blitz waves him off. “Eh, don’t worry. He’s a good supplier.”

The weapons master raises an eyebrow. “If you say so.”

“Anyways, I want them all inspected and handed out to each member. I’m going to check on our survivors.” Blitz says heading out.

The weapons master watches as he leaves and grabs a valkyrie off the wall. “Soldier! Get this weapon calibrated and ready the systems to do the same to the shipment!” He orders tossing it to him.

Blitz smiles a bit as he heads inside the infirmary. “Okay, what do we got?”

The head nurse looks to the chief. “Well, mostly normal readings, blood work is fine, no diseases, no signs of anything being placed in them, then there is the psych evals and surprisingly they are fine, but they are shaken up.”

Blitz looks to the rescued crew. “So no problems?”

The nurse leans down to him. “We’ll keep an eye on them in case of anything happening.” She whispered.

Blitz nods. “After a while of evaluations, check their records and then send everything you got to me. I want to know if they will be ready for work again.”

“Yes, chief.” The nurse says.

“Alright, listen up you nine. I just got word from Mandalore you are to be transferred into my clan after you are cleared by the medical staff.” Blitz says.

The crew looks grateful at them. “Thanks, sir.” One said.

“Don’t be, you have a while to go before you are cleared,” Blitz says as the nurse walks up to one.

The crew member nods. “Yes, sir. The question, where would we be if we do?”

“I will review your records and then decide. Though most likely you will be given positions like what you had on your former ship.” Blitz says.

Another member nodded. “Thank you, sir. It was kinda boring on there.”

“Well, I will leave you to the medical professionals and remember, don’t joke around or do anything stupid. The medical staff has been told to activate the incendiary function of your force cages should they think you are infected.” Blitz warns.

The crew members grimace a bit as Blitz starts to walk away. “You think he’s serious?” One asks another.

“The chief isn’t joking.” The nurse informs.

All the crew members look to each scared out of their minds. “Has he…played a videogame before?” One asks.

“Most of us have.” The nurse says.

“Oh, dear.”

Blitz sighs as he lays down. “I have such a bad feeling about what comes next,” Blitz says.

“Ah, you worry too much,” Pinkie says.

“Hey Pinkie,” Blitz says as he feels her start to massage his back.

Pinkie smiles. “Hi Blitzy, what’s wrong exactly?”

Blitz sighs. “Just a bad feeling. Like there is a pressure on me that gets heavier and heavier as we get closer and closer to the planet.”

“Don’t worry, your wife Pinkie will take care of you,” Pinkie says.

Blitz smirks. “Are you next in line?”

Pinkie smiles. “Yep, but maybe after this whole mission. This pressure maybe can help, especially here.” She said tapping in between his legs.

“Speaking of pressure. Pinkie, why don’t you like being called by your full name Pinkamena?” Blitz asks as he feels her lay on top of him.

Pinkie smiles sadly a bit as she nuzzles him. “It’s sort of my old life, doesn’t matter anymore. Still see my family through, like Maud.”

“Yeah…her,” Blitz says laughing nervously.

Pinkie giggles. “Come on, Maud…”
