Fly to the Stars and Back (Redone)

“Ow,” Blitz said as he hit the ground again.

“You are flaring your wings when you’re trying to glide,” Spitfire says.

Blit grumbles something about the whole thing.

“Sorry, what was that?” Spitfire asks leaning down.

Blitz gives a fake smile. “Love you too dear.”

“Then get back to the start of the course,” Spitfire says before blowing her whistle.

Blitz groans before running there.

“Now again!” Spitfire yells blowing her whistle.

Daring watches as he flies off again. “So how long has it been?”

“Three hours,” Shadow says looking at her watch.

Fluttershy wines as Blitz hits a hard cloud ring “Oh, I hope he’s going to okay.”

“That’s the fifth time he has hit that cloud. He’s now three times as far as when he started this exercise.” Rainbow says.

Fleetfoot shrugs as she bites down on some of the food they had. “Well for pegasus, we need a lot to fly. And Blitz is only halfway through it already. His life made sure of that.”

“Yeah, but did you notice how he maneuvered passed that first obstacle once was instinctual and lucky, but every time he has experience flying, just not on his own,” Rainbow says.

Shadow nods. “Yeah, what was that thing he had that could fly?”

“I believe he called it his custom viking,” Daring says.

Fleetfoot nods. “Yeah, that’s what Spitfire said. Still, is it somewhat similar to our flight style?”

“I don’t know, I’ve only flown space fighters on the simulator on his ship,” Rainbow says.

Fleetfoot looks over to her. “And how hard was it?”

“You got to watch several things and take others into account. It can be stressful flying them.” Rainbow says.

Daring smirks. “You did fly with the assistance off mode on it, right?”

“Yes, once, I blew up in less than a minute,” Rainbow admits.

Daring smiles. “It is hard with that type of maneuvers.”

“Fuck this!” They heard as they look up to see Blitz start flying into the close-quarter part of the course and sees him actually running his hooves across the clouds a bit instead of flying the whole way.

“Oh boy,” Fleetfoot says bracing for Spitfire going off.

“What the heck was that?!” Spitfire yells as he stops at the finish line.

Blitz growls a bit. “That close quarter’s flight is not good enough, especially for my size of wings. I needed to fold them and use the clouds as a run and jump spot so I can get through some of that stuff.”

Blitz was sure Spitfire was about to deck him when she busted out laughing.

Blitz just ended up confused. “Uhhhh…?”

“So you finally figured it out,” Spitfire says.

Blitz just tilts his head. “Huh?”

“We intentionally design it for a mare with smaller wings,” Spitfire says.

“In other words, me,” Rainbow says.

Blitz just ended up twitching his one eyelid as he stared wide-eyed and started to almost laugh and breathe hard until he clawed at his face with his hooves and screams and started to curse like crazy.

“Should we stop him?” Spitfire asks as they watch him destroyed the close-quarter course.

“Give him a few moments before he realizes the hidden meaning. After all, he’s a smart stallion.” Rainbow says.

Spitfire sighs. “Oh boy, there goes the platform. That’s coming out of his paycheck.”

“Didn’t we make that out of a cloud?” Rainbow asks.

Spitfire looks back at her. “Building clouds, very expensive.” Rainbow gives her a look. “Or so he will think,” Spitfire says smirking.

Rainbow chuckles. “You want him to pay for the victory dinner, don’t you?”

“Yes,” Spitfire says.

Blitz soon finished his rampage of destruction and soon landed in front of them with bits of cloud on him. “Never…again.”

“So what did you learn?” Spitfire asks.

Blitz pushes past her. “Back off sister.” He said heading to the food before taking a hayburger and takes a huge chunk out of it. “And for your information, it isn’t always flying.” He said taking another big bite.

“And?” Rainbow asks.

Blitz spits the burger out. “And it sometimes pays to use your hooves and other parts of your body when needed.”

Spitfire and Rainbow look at each other. “And you forced me on an impossible course to make me get better control over my flying,” Blitz adds.

Rainbow sighs. “Sorry Blitz, the fastest way to get you to learn. Besides, now you get to rest for a bit while we set up the next course.”

Spitfire hooks a hoof around him. “And you have to pay for the destroyed course. That’s two thousand bits, mister.” She said glaring at him.

Blitz twitches a bit before just hoofing her his bit pouch. Spitfire chuckles and tosses it Fleetfoot who flies off. “Now, you head up on the cloud and try and relax, you’re going to need it for the next run.” She said pointing to a cloud.

Blitz obeys and flies off.

“That was easy,” Rainbow whispered.

Spitfire sighs. “Now the tough part, we have the skills, but he has to figure out the next one on his own. At least let’s set up another course run just in case he doesn’t find it yet.”

“Before or after Fleetfoot and Shadow start pampering him?” Rainbow asks noticing them flying towards the cloud.

Spitfire growls a bit before flying up and intercepting them. “Girls, I told you. He needs to figure this out on his own.” She whispered as she looks back to Blitz who was laying on the cloud. “Now Fleetfoot, get into town and get that reservation and Shadow, give them more from our reserves if they don’t listen.”

“Right.” They say half-heartedly.

Spitfire kicks their flank and pushes them to town. “Get your flanks moving. You want him to be happy with us in the end, don’t you?”

“Yeah, yeah.” They flying off.

“You sure Twilight is the alpha?” Rainbow asks.

Daring chuckles. “Yeah, we agreed that we choose from who got him first and Twilight is the first one and Applejack the second. You want beta, ask Applejack.”

“Not from where I’m flying,” Rainbow says.

Daring sighs. “Come on, we have to make it look like we’re working.”

“I preferred it if you shake your flanks!” Blitz called catching the last thing Daring said.

Daring brings her hoof up. “Face meet hoof.” She said before slapping herself. “Dash, set up some maps.”

“Got it,” Dash says.

Blitz sighs as he watches the mares start to work and rolls before standing up and looks to the land. “At least I get to see this.” He said to himself before looking down. “Huh, that’s something.” He said as he starts to see something. “Is that…” He asks before he leans forward and starts to fall.

Spitfire and the others watch as he fell. “There he goes.”

‘This reminds me of all those drops on the basalis war droids.’ Blitz thinks as he free falls. He then starts to see something he thought he would never see. ‘No, that’s the HUD system from the Basalis.’ He thinks before seeing the ground coming up and flares his wings out and glides across the ground before flying up. ‘This is real data. It’s working in real-time, no lag. How is this happening?’

“He’s got it,” Daring says smirking.

Rainbow sighs in relief. “Good, kinda still scary for us, but I wonder how he is?”

‘Adjusting for reentr…wait, this isn’t a flashback.’ Blitz thinks as he finally gets what he was doing as he flew. He then starts flying upward and soon break another cloud cover as the sun passed under it and sees the stars. ‘Always wanted to do this and they gave me a chance.’ He thinks as he reaches a hoof up and touches something.

The air materializes in front of him and sees the Darkstar and Minerva having her hoof on the glass where his hoof is. “You did it.” She said.

“You love watching me while I don’t know, don’t you?” Blitz asks.

Minerva smiles and looks to their hooves. “You have to go back now. It’s getting too cold here.” She said as she notices the frost getting on him.

“I like the cold, remember?” Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. “Just go back. Your mates are waiting for you. You can tell me everything later.”

“I will see you soon,” Blitz says smiling before leaving.

Minerva nods. “I know, you touched the true stars already. All your mares and now me. Great job.”

“You sure you want to try this? It could take you offline for good.” Twilight asks.

Minerva nods as she watches him leave. “Yes, he deserves more. More than what I am now.”

“Alright, I hope this works,” Twilight says charging her magic as Minerva lands the ship in the Everfree forest.

Blitz breathes deeply as he flew straight down into town get blindsided by Rainbow Dash’s lunging hug. “Ow.” He said as he pokes at his side where Rainbow hit him first before moving a bit.

Rainbow pokes his nose. “You did it, how does it look like?”

“I feel like I’m in one of my aircraft,” Blitz says.

Rainbow pokes his head. “That’s right, you got the skills and you got yourself a little helper. Something to help your flight. We got that after we were guided and all of us fell off before flying without us.”

“Oh, so you see this too. Make sense since how you were such natural with the simulator now.” Blitz says.

Rainbow giggles. “No, it doesn’t have the same look. For everypony, it’s different.”

“Target locked,” Blitz says smirking, confusing Rainbow till he hits her most sensitive spot on her leg sending a shiver up her spine.

Rainbow moans as she tries to hold on. “Damn you.”

“Come on. Let me help you up, are making a scene.” Blitz says.

Rainbow sighs as they start flying down and land in the middle of town. “Hey guys, over here,” Spitfire yells near the restaurant that Blitz knew was a bit fancy and never bothered.

“Come on,” Rainbow says dragging him along.

Blitz looks at the restaurant in suspicion. “Rainbow, at getting a table here is expensive. How did you, you use my bits, didn’t you?”

Rainbow just smiled and didn’t answer as she sat him down. He takes a look around and notices that the place was empty and a whole giant round table was in the middle of the dining room. “Huh, you bought out the entire restaurant.” He stated.

“I thought it would make a good addition to your clan’s owned businesses,” Spitfire says.

Blitz looks shocked at her. “You brought the place?”

“No, we did,” Spitfire says smiling.

Blitz looks a bit confused before the others came out of the kitchen and sits down at the table. “So what’s this for?” He asks after they sat down.

“To celebrate you learning how to fly,” Fleetfoot says.

Blitz smiles a bit. “Are we excepting anypony else?”

“Well, Twilight isn’t here yet,” Pinkie says bouncing on Blitz.

Blitz sighs as he wraps a hoof around her and pets her mane. “Come on, where’s the real you?”

“This is the real me silly,” Pinkie says. “I’m just tired.” A more neutral voice says.

Blitz nods. “Okay, so what do you want?”

Pinkie giggles. “Something a bit salty.”

“Eat me,” Blitz said while smirking.

Pinkie pokes his chest. “I do eat you, remember, you let me mmmhf mmmhp.” Pinkie mumbled as Blitz covered her mouth.

“That was a rhetorical statement,” Blitz says.

Pinkie crosses her legs and looks away snooty. “Hm, I guess you don’t want me to go again next time.”

“Pinkamena, please explain it to her.” Blitz requests.

“He gives you the fun time of a lifetime. And he would…” She started to whisper and Pinkie’s mane bounced a little. “Oh really? Blitzy, can you get a chair, a towel and that suit next time?” She asks while tapping her hooves together.

“I’m kind of afraid to ask,” Blitz says.

“Still trying to wrap my head around this.” Applejack says looking at Pinkie.

Pinkie giggles. “Oh it’s really this, you ever heard of a,” She leans down to his ear. “Bukkake?”

“Pinkie, be nice,” Blitz says.

Pinkie groans a little before smiling. “Ah come on, you’ll love it.”

“Later,” Blitz says petting her.

Pinkie purrs in delight. “Oh, that feels good.” She said as she wags her tail.

Blitz chuckles. “Who’s a good girl? Who’s a good girl?” He asks playfully.

“Not me. I’m a bad girl.” Pinkamena says.

Blitz stops petting. “Okay, guess you don’t want it.”

“Oh, I’ll get it later,” Pinkamena says.

Blitz nuzzles her. “Yes you will and I’ll give everything.”

Applejack clears her throat. Blitz sighs and looks to her. “You want in dear?” He asks humorously.

Applejack frowns. “I like normal times.”

“This normal as it gets,” Blitz says.

Applejack huffs. “Trust me, ya haven’t seen everything.”

“Yeah righ…you have another surprise for me don’t you?” Blitz asks.

“Yeah, we do,” Twilight said walking in. “Blitz, did you know about Minerva’s dream?”

“Yeah w…” Blitz stops.

He soon sees a mare step in that almost looks like Minerva’s body. “Wha…?” He tries to say, but the mare only moved up to him and puts her hoof on his mouth. “Quiet.” She said.

Blitz obeyed what she said because he knew that voice. “Minerva?”

The mare nods as she puts her hoof away. “Yeah. Surprise.” She tried to say.

“H…how?” Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. “Twilight, she used my body as a center point. But, it wasn’t complete.” She said moving her mane and shows some areas on the back of her neck that look like plates. “Ports, enhancements, almost like an organic going all cyborg.”

“I’m in shock,” Blitz says.

Minerva sighs and moves closer to him. “Then don’t be, try to look at me and tell me what you feel.”

“Like I am dreaming,” Blitz says smiling.

Minerva smiles. “Good, now what are you going to do?”

“I…” Blitz was at a loss for words.

Minerva sighs and sits down right beside him. “You’ll find out what to do soon.”

“Well, at least you’re officially in now,” Twilight says.

Minerva nods. “Yeah, just part cyborg now. Probably best seeing as I’m still needed on the ships.”

“Maybe you will eventually make a full jump,” Twilight says.

Minerva shakes her head. “No, I got what I needed and this is good enough. I really don’t want to forget about my old life too.”

“So out of curiosity, can your bare foals now?” Shadow asks.

Minerva smiles greatly. “Yeah, I’m finally able to give Blitz what he really deserves.”

“So will they be part machine as well or will they be fully organic?” Pinkie asks now dressed like she is from Star Trek.

Minerva leans on a hoof. “Don’t know, that will be the complete mystery. But whatever the case, they’ll be my foals.”

“Fascinating,” Pinkie says putting on Vulcan ears.

Blitz knocks it off her. “That’s enough costumes Pinkie. I don’t need a nightmare night here now.”

“Oooh, did that come early this year?” Pinkie asks.

Blitz face hooves and then puts his face on the table. “Dang it Pinkie. You can really annoy me.”

“In a good way?” Pinkie asks.

Blitz sighs. “Oh Pinkie.”

“Ye…” Pinkie was cut off when her hair went straight. “Ok, enough Pinkie,” Pinkamena says.

Blitz sighs in relief. “Thanks.”

“No problem. She is just wound up.” Pinkamena says.

Blitz shakes his head. “Think a night would do it?”

“Not a chance,” Pinkamena says.

Blitz groans. “Okay, I’ll try her suggestion and maybe then really shut her up.”

“Oh no, I meant she has a few parties to plan,” Pinkamena says.

Blitz shrugs. “I think a night alone with me would do it.”

“No it won’t, she is an endless ball of energy when planning a party,” Pinkamena says.

Blitz smiles a little. “And that’s what makes her special. My big ball of energy.”

“Hey, guys.” Lightning said as she walks in. “What’s this about a…woah.” She stopped as she sees Blitz.

“Where have you been Dust? The last thing I was told, you were going to go check on somet…” Blitz was cut off with Lightning tackled him with a hug.

“You have wings!” Lightning yelled as she looks to them and feels them.

“Wait, you were not in on this?” Blitz asks.

Lightning shakes her head. “No, I was busy getting some stuff done.”

Blitz gives her a look. “What stuff?” Blitz asks.

Lightning frowns a little. “Personal.” She then cheers up. “So how did you get the wings?”

Blitz points to Twilight with a wing.

Lightning hits his shoulder. “Congratulations, you figured out humor with wings. Now…what’s going on here?”

“Twi made this and it’s making me a pegasus,” Blitz says.

“You also missed his first preening,” Rainbow says.

Lightning taps his side. “Why didn’t you tell me? I would have joined.”

“You disappeared on us,” Rainbow says.

Lightning sighs. “Personal.” She said sitting down.

Shadow gives her a knowing smile.

Lightning soon relaxes back. “So…what’s going on here?” She asks looking around.

“Blitz just finished learning to fly,” Spitfire says.

Lightning smirks. “Great job honey. Now, what are you going to do and…who’s the mare?” She asks seeing Minerva.

“Twilight. Magic. Minerva.” Blitz explained vaguely.

Lightning raises an eyebrow. “Is everything by Twilight?”

“She is the princess of magic,” Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. “I thought I was the princess of friendship.”

“Magic,” Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. “Uh-huh.”

Blitz sighs. “I had to tell that.” He said under his breath. “Now. where’s our food? I’m starving.”

After a while, the food finally came out much to his stomach’s likeness and gobbled up almost everything. “Geez, must have been hungry,” Spitfire said as she tries to keep count of the number of plates piling up next to him.

Minerva giggles. “Would you believe he ate out the Darkstar out of house and home one time?”

“No comment.” Blitz simply says.

Shadow giggles. “Really, he ate everything? How much money was that?”

Minerva smirks. “Let’s just say he did three contracts, on the same mission for different ends. I’m surprised he was able to do that though.”

“We don’t talk about that contract remember?” Blitz asks.

Minerva smiles. “Yeah, yeah, you lazy stallion.”

Blitz huffs. “Lazy? I was bringing in the credits and the reason we don’t talk about that one is I had to repaint the entire DarkStar One.”

The mares try to stifle their laughter. “What the heck did you do?” Twilight asks.

Blitz stares at her. “Not talking.” He said before stuffing his mouth to prevent anymore talking.

The mares all shake their head. “Geez Blitz, when did you become so secretive? Isn’t the point of marriage is to keep the secrets not hidden from each other?” Fleetfoot asks.

“Let’s just say a lot of blood was everywhere,” Minerva says.

The mares look a bit surprised. “Well, that’s our Blitz. Crazy, shameless, and out of control.” Shadow said.

Blitz looks to her. “Hey, I’m not that bad.”

“And it wasn’t his fault they all took a drug…” Minerva stopped when Blitz gave her the look.

Blitz sighs. “So what do we got after this?”

“Well us pegasus bride’s turns is up right now,” Spitfire says smiling.

“It’s the wings, isn’t it? You are all attracted to them now?” Blitz asks.

The mares all grin. “Oh yeah,” Shadow said. “Things we could do.”

“Any other p…” Blitz stops when he feels someponies pawing his wings. Looking back, he sees Vinyl and Octavia had arrived.

Vinyl smiled. “Hey, hotcakes.”

“Hey, it’s the two missing mares,” Blitz says.

Octavia smiles. “Yes, it is. Now, what’s going on here?” She asks pawing at the wing.

“Oh just celebrating our husband finishing his flying lessons,” Spitfire says playfully elbowing Vinyl with a smile.

Vinyl looks to him. “Really, already? Dang, that was fast. So what’s next for our favorite stallion, earth pony?”

“Not much of a challenge, after all, I was raised with Jackie, the earth pony way,” Blitz says sneaking a wing around Applejack.

Applejack grins. “You still can’t farm.”

“Oh, I’m sorry Ms. Needs My Help Around the Farm,” Blitz says.

Applejack elbows him. “Shut up, you still get apples on your head.”

“Oh, should I bring up that incident?” Blitz asks.

Applejack frowns and hits him. “Okay, you are now pushing it.”

“So you still haven’t figured it out?” Blitz asks.

Applejack growls a little. “Yeah, I did and you owe me.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Blitz says smirking.

Applejack hits him. “You still owe me.”

“Owe you for what?” Blitz says playing innocent.

Applejack sighs and looks away from him. “Confounded stallion.” She grumbled. “Playing dumb.”

“Oh Jackie, what are you on about?” Blitz smirks, wrapping the wing tighter around her.

Applejack growls a bit. “Stupid stallion.”

“Who loves you,” Blitz says before kissing her cheek.

Applejack sighs. “Why can’t I stay mad at you?” She asks turning to him.

“Because you love me,” Blitz says.

Applejack shakes her head. “Well, what are you going to do now?” She asks poking his chest.

Blitz shrugs. “I don’t know, what jobs have you found Minerva?”

Minerva was just poking her food and giggling a little.

Blitz smiles. “Minerva.” He sang.

“Enjoying the moment,” Minerva says.

Blitz sighs. “You got any jobs?”

Minerva thinks as she lifts some food up. “Well, there is a check-up on a planet and there is a small escort mission.” She said as they see some steam coming from her hooves.

“Um…Minerva, that’s hot.” Spitfire said.

“So this is the sensation of heat,” Minerva says putting the food down.

Blitz sighs as he goes over to her and cleans her hooves. “And pain, you got burned.” He said showing the red spots.

Minerva shrugs. “Doesn’t feel that bad.”

Blitz looks to her. “Do you have pain inhibitors?”

Minerva looks around for a bit. “I think so.”

Blitz watches her. “Turn them off.”

Minerva did and immediately goes wide-eyed. “Yeow, ow, ow, ow!” She yells, flaying her hooves around.

“Pinkie, please go get a bucket of cold water.” Blitz requests.

Pinkie hops off and immediately returns with a bucket on top of her head and places it down right in front of her. Minerva places her hooves in the water and sighs in relief. “Ah, that feels good.”

“Oh, I also got this for you as well,” Pinkie says bringing out a wedding ring.

Minerva stares at the ring. “Wha…why…?”

Blitz smiles. “So will you?”

“It’s to show you are married,” Pinkie says wrapping a hoof around Minerva.

Minerva sighs and smiles and takes the ring before placing it on her hoof. “Thanks, Blitz.”

“Now tell us, Octavia, how are you both?” Twilight asks.

Octavia looks to her. “Both?”

“You and the little one.” Blitz clarifies.

Octavia smiles as she looks to her bigger stomach. “It’s fine. Just hungry most of the time.”

“And won’t stop playing that junk.” Vinyl adds.

Octavia just hits her over the head. “I want the foal to grow up with the class.”

Vinyl grins as she nuzzles her. “Oh please, without me, you have no class.”

“Spell High Class society,” Octavia says.

Vinyl just gains an amusing dumb face. “H…uhh…what’s next?” She asks humorously.

“Are you serious honey?” Blitz asks.

Vinyl chuckles. “Nah, just playing.”

“Spell it then,” Octavia says.

Vinyl grumbles. “Fine. H, I, G, H, C, L, A, S, S, S, O, C, I, E, T, Y. There, you happy?”

Blitz warps his free wing round her. “How about you?” Blitz asks.

Vinyl sighs and leans against him. “I don’t know, I’m going to need help.”

Twilight levitates a packet of blood in front of Vinyl.

“Now, I’m not so hungry.” She said taking the packet and bites into it.

Blitz sighs as he pets her head. “My silly vampire.”

Vinyl burps. “Nope, just sexy.”

Blitz rolls his eyes as everypony still tried to eat. “So when are you going back?” Twilight asks.

“Tomorrow. Got a gig in town.” Vinyl says.

Blitz smiles a little. “Anypony got any plans because I have to plan when to leave?”

“You’re not going anywhere for awhile Mr.” Lightning says.

Blitz frowns. “Aw, why not? Is it because a certain somepony wants me?” He asks with a smirk now.

“Yes.” Lightning says flatly in an annoyed voice.

Blitz smiles and goes to her before picking her up and sitting down and putting her on his lap. “Well, I’m here.”

“And you will stay for quite a while.” She says unamused.

Blitz sighs. “Well, what do you want from me?” He said petting her back.

“I’m not missing out on this so you’re on holiday for a while.” Lightning says as Minerva was examining a bottle of alcohol.

Blitz grins. “Great, now where do you want to go first?”

“I have a few ideas.” Lightning says.

Blitz chuckles. “Okay, I’ll try and spend time with you. And Minerva, too late.” He said as he saw Minerva moving around drunkenly.

“I got her.” Applejack says.

Minerva giggles drunkenly. “Weeeeee.” She said moving around and spinning.

“Vinyl, help me with her,” Octavia says walking over to help.

Vinyl groans and throws the pack away. “Fine, come here cyborg girl.” She said going to her.

Blitz sighs as he watches them take her away while she began singing nonsense. “Oh boy, at least she will learn better than anypony else when she wakes up.”

“Wait, we didn’t tell you about that,” Blitz says.

Lightning points to the other mares. “They talk when you’re busy.”

Blitz frowns a little. “I really need to pay attention more.”

“And then the pie hit him in the face,” Pinkie says.

Blitz groans. “I should pay more attention.” He said as the other mares laugh.

Lightnin chuckles and nuzzles him. “Yeah, you should, but you now have to pay attention to me.”

“You’re not the only pegasus mare who wants a piece of him,” Shadow says.

Blitz smiles as he looks to her. “I already had time with you, over five times in fact.”

Shadow whines. “Come on, you know my incorrigible appetite for more fun.”

“Hey Rainbow, Spitfire. Shadow says she needs more excitement. What extreme things can you do with her?” Blitz calls.

Rainbow smirks. “Let’s see, flying or home?”

“Take your pick,” Blitz says.

Rainbow grins and goes to Shadow. “Good, home it is. Now, what to do?” She asks herself as she looks around.

Spitfire grins. “How about what she keeps dreaming about? Come on.” She said dragging them away.

“But, I’m not there,” Blitz says confused.

Fleetfoot smiles as she looks back at him. “I think that’s because you are spending time with me and we are starting to spend time with the rest of the family. And me.” Lightning says.

Blitz sighs and nuzzles her. “Okay, I think it would do good for others to spend time together.”

“After dinner darling.” Rarity says.

Blitz looks back to the plate. “Oh yeah, let’s eat.” He said eating Lightning’s plate.

“That is mine.” Lightning says.

Blitz then kisses her and feeds her the food before pulling back. “How about now?”

“Just don’t try that with the wine.” Lightning says smiling.

Blitz nods as he lays back. “What are you waiting for, it’s your food.”

Lightning rolls her eyes before starting to eat.

Blitz sighs in relief and looks to everypony eating or going for a little fun. “This is life.”

Blitz sighs as he looks to the nightlife of the town. “So where do you want to go?” He asks Vinyl as they walked aimlessly.

“You still want to go out and do something in the middle of the night after a round with both Shadow and Lightning? Man, your stamina is impressive.” Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles. “I told you, my past life really shaped me up. Now, where’s this gig?”

Vinyl points to a warehouse. “In there, they’re setting things up.”

Blitz smiles. “Maybe I should join.”

“You’re my bodyguard love,” Vinyl says as he brought out a suitcase with Blitz’s emblem on it.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. “And what is that?” He asks pointing to the suitcase.

“One of your armors,” Vinyl says.

Blitz tilts his head. “How did you get my armor?”

“Had Minerva send me one in case of emergency,” Vinyl says.

Blitz looks at the armor. “Really, this one?”

Vinyl grins. “It’s sexy and I want you back there with me from time to time.”

“Didn’t know you like black and red and the same design used for hunting vampires,” Blitz says.

Vinyl smirks as she looks at him. “Vampires are sexy, hunters are even sexier. The mares sometimes show themselves off like crazy. Besides, black and red look cool together.”

“Oh, so where is your vampire outfit?” Blitz asks putting on the armor.

Vinyl shrugs. “Getting dry cleaning.”

“Oh, then it’s a good thing I foresaw this,” Octavia says walking up with an outfit.

Vinyl grins and takes it. “Awesome. Let’s get this party started.”

Octavia smiles before kissing Blitz’s cheek. “I’m going home to rest for me and the little one.” She says. Blitz nods and catches up with Vinyl.

Blitz sighs as he watches the rave going on. “Thank you noise dampeners.”

“Yo Blitz, come up here,” Vinyl called over the radio.

Blitz sighs and goes up the stairs as another bodyguard takes over and meets up with Vinyl behind her set. “Yeah?”

Vinyl grins as she looks backs to him. “Come up behind me.” She said turning back to the crowd.

Blitz did as she says and just waits there looking intimidating as Vinyl helps kick the rave into the next level.

“Now…” Vinyl said standing up and leaning over the set and looks over the crowd once more as the volume grew louder. “Hold me, will you?” She asks coyly.

“Alright,” Blitz says as she freely fell back into his waiting hooves.

Vinyl giggles as she actually starts dancing against him. “Well, like it?” She asks sultry.

“How about less sultry, more Vinyl style?” Blitz coyly says.

Vinyl hisses at him. “Looks like I got my wish.” She said humping against him a little.

“I was joking Vinyl, just enjoy the moment and don’t be so sexual,” Blitz says.

Vinyl raises an eyebrow. “Doesn’t matter, look.” She said pointing to the crowd and he sees some of the areas of the crowd already having more fun than usual. “Somepony apparently placed something in the drinks. Now let’s have fun.” She said putting a hoof on his cheek.

“I thought I was your bodyguard,” Blitz says as she touched his helmet and he picks her up.

Vinyl smiles. “You’re my husband too. So, want to? I doubt everypony is going to be paying attention much on us without looking at themselves and already having fun on their own.” She asks rubbing against him and waving her tail under him to his.

“Oh, but isn’t it more fun when we play on a bed?” Blitz asks.

Vinyl grins. “I like it when we play rough. Remember, you bending me over that table back in your room one time? I want it here.”

“But love, you have to earn that and I will make you a deal. You do the job here and I will do that.” Blitz whispers into her ear.

Vinyl moans as she kept running against him. “Then everypony will be gone and they will start paying attention to us. Do you want that?”

“Should we care? Besides I was looking forward to you playing music.” Blitz says stroking her ego.

Vinyl looks to him a bit surprised. “Ho, ho, oh, what’s this? Does the big hunter stallion want to do it in public? Naughty boy, especially with so many eyes watching us.”

“As I care about that,” Blitz says.

Vinyl hisses a bit and grins. “So you are going to take me with all of the crowd watching?”

“Right here, after the rave is over,” Blitz says petting her.

Vinyl hisses in bliss as she was petted. “After they left or before?”

“We start when you say so after you get paid,” Blitz says lovingly.

Vinyl moans a bit as she starts to nuzzle him. “So no public?”

“Well, I’m sure the cleaning ponies will be here watching,” Blitz whispers into her ear.

Vinyl moans and hisses into his ear. “I want them near me, they won’t touch me, but you can do all you want and still wear this.” She said hitting his armor.

“Sure, after all, I hunt vampires. This will just be me hunting Dhampiresa flank.” Blitz jokes.

Vinyl chuckles as she grinds against him. “Oh, you naughty stallion. And the cleaning crew is your hidden backup?”

“Maybe.” Blitz jokes.

Vinyl nods. “Alright, but the only thing those guys have is the right to get it all over me. Anymore and you can interfere. Just don’t take it too far.”

“Oh, no one touches my mares, but me. They try and let’s just say they die slowly and painfully.” Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. “Alright, let me keep dancing against you for the rest of the rave and when we get our paycheck, we get back here and have some fun. Some stallions should still be here.”

“Alright, time to work,” Blitz says letting her go.

Vinyl nods and leans back down to the set. “Yeah, can’t wait.” She said still grinding against him.

“Easy love. All good things come to those who wait.” Blitz says.

Vinyl shakes her head as she keeps playing until the night went on and a lot of ponies started to leave. “Alright, let’s go get our pay. Most of the crowd would leave by then.” Vinyl said packing up her discs.

“Lead the way,” Blitz says hoofing her a drink.

Vinyl looks to the drink for a bit. “Thanks for doing this Blitz.” She said before drinking it up and heads to the concession stand and goes for the bartender. “Hey, buddy, how’d I do?” She asks him.

“As good as always.” The pony says putting forward an envelope as the last piece of the crowd went and the cleaners took to the floor.

Vinyl nods and takes it before opening it to find her check. “Good. Hey, stick around for something special for you and the cleaners.” She said heading back. “Here, the check for the bodyguards.” She said giving a slip to Blitz.

Blitz takes it without a word. “Sorry, we have to close up sooner than usual Vinyl. The guards are cracking down on everypony right now after that fiasco with the guards in Canterlot.” The pony says.

Vinyl looks back at him. “How long do you have to close up shop?”

“For four days.” The pony says.

Vinyl smiles. “Think you can stay the night? I think I can find somewhere else.”

“Nope, they want us out now.” The pony says.

Vinyl sighs. “Dang it. I really wanted to try this.” She said. “You guys heading anywhere together? Maybe your own private celebratory retirement party for this place?”

“Nope, they put most of us on a watch and instituted curfews and, I quote, for all plays of chaos and disorderly conduct.” The pony says rolling his eyes.

Vinyl raises an eyebrow and looks to Blitz. “You fucked it up.” She said before looking back to the pony. “So who’s not being watched?”

“I don’t know, but this will blow over soon enough.” The barkeep says.

Vinyl sighs. “You guys got a bit of time to spend with us?”

“Nope, I’m leaving now so those idiotic asses don’t have an excuse.” The barkeep says packing some things up and leaving.

Vinyl groans as she looks to Blitz. “Well, there goes my fun. Why don’t you head on home and do whatever? I’m staying to pack up and head home too.” She said before heading for the set on stage.

“I’ll help, can’t let those guards go accusing you of murder now.” Blitz half-jokes.

Vinyl slightly glares at him. “You know this is your fault.” She said starting to remove all the wires and separates the set.

“I know. I saved Shadow because the guards wanted to pin the blame of some of their numbers dying from what everypony has ruled as an accident on her.” Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs. “I know you saved her, but you’re making life a little harder on us at this point. You better make up this plan we had for me.”

“Oh, I can think of a few ways,” Blitz says rubbing her flank.

Vinyl sighs as she pushes her flank into his hoof. “And how do you plan on doing that?”

“Oh maybe getting a little rough with you tomorrow night. After all, we don’t want to wake Octy up or we have to go through a Godzilla like rampage.” Blitz says.

Vinyl smiles a little. “And the makeup job for the stallions which was supposed to be there?”

“I’m sure Spitfire would be more than happy to fill in for that. After all, you two did date back in high school.” Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. “Yeah, but one isn’t enough.”

“Then there is Rainbow, Fleetfoot, and Lightning,” Blitz says.

Vinyl looks back to him. “Really, all of them? Going at me like they were stallions too?”

“Nah. After all, you swing both ways.” Blitz whispers the latter part.

Vinyl giggles a bit. “Then let’s go.” She said before heading past him and moves her tail under his chin.

“Yes, ma’am,” Blitz says following.

“So what’s this abou…” Spitfire stops and looks to where Vinyl was laid down on the table. “Woah.”

“Vinyl fell asleep on the table again?” Blitz asks groggily waking up on the couch.

“Heh, heh, heh. You were crazy my stallion. Couldn’t wait and use that damn suit. Damn, I think there is still a lot on me.” Vinyl said licking the white strands on her lips.

“She still sleep talking?” Blitz asks repositioning himself to go back to sleep.

Vinyl was still laughing and groggily licking herself clean. “Yummy.”

“Yeah, she is,” Spitfire says.

“Gotcha, I’m going back to sleep,” Blitz says.

Spitfire looks to him. “Did you really use that suit again?”

“No, not yet,” Blitz says adjusting the pillow and opening his wings as if inviting her.

Spitfire sighs and lays down with him. “Looks like you did. There’s the evidence.” She said looking at the mess on Vinyl.

“She is always a mess. You should know, you dated her in high school.” Blitz says wrapping his wings around her.

Spitfire smiles and snuggles his wing. “Yeah, we did. And am I late to the party?”

“No, the part doesn’t start till after the sun sets,” Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. “So what, I get to play with her while you do her?”

“And maybe you at the same time.” Blitz offers.

Spitfire smiles and nuzzles him. “Blitz?”

Blitz didn’t reply as Spitfire hears his heartbeat slow.

Spitfire sighs. “Do you remember our first meeting?” She asks before hearing some rather loud snoring and she couldn’t tell if these two were having a snore off. “Oh brother, now there are two Vinyls. I don’t know whether to be impressed or afraid for my life.”

Twilight sighs as she looks over the books and messages she gained since she was in space and of course most of it is from Luna wanting to play. “Of course she would. Thank you, Blitz, for leaving a game-style tablet for her.” She said to herself before there was a knock at the castle door. “Come in.”

“Letter for you Princess.” A guard said giving her envelope.

“Thank you,” Twilight says as she is handed the letter.

Opening it she finds very crude writing on it, but amazingly still had a good style to them. “Twilight Sparkle. I know we spoke quite a good while ago, but now I am in dire need of help. I never expected things to go by rapidly as I expected and as such I’m forced to go for this alternative instead of the traditional route. I request your presence here in my abode immediately.” Twilight reads before seeing who sent it. “Chrysalis?”

“Oh, this should be interesting. Which reminds me, I have dinner plans with the rest of the family in a few days. I wonder how mom and dad are doing?” Twilight says before thinking of something. “Hum, I wonder what Blitz’s birth parents are like.”

Twilight sighs and looks outside to see at night time, but if Chrysalis is calling then. “Guards, we are going to Canterlot.” She said walking out to them before activating a teleportation spell and transports them outside the red light district of Canterlot.

They all walked for a bit before seeing the club they needed to go into and notices the changelings at the doors looking rather worried as they let them past. “Chrysalis?” Twilight asks as she enters and finds her at the bar trying to drink…something.

“You asked for my help?” Twilight asks.

Chrysalis nods and she notices the light coloring patches on her chitin. “Yes, do you know what happens when a changeling dies?”

“No,” Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs as she swishes the swirl of green liquid around in her glass. “What happens to regular changelings, no matter if they’re drones or soldiers, they would simply fall and degrade away like regular bugs. We burn the ones growing fungus by the way. As for the queens…well…it’s more complicated. We transfer the knowledge and energy of what they have to another worthy successor.”

“You are dying, aren’t you?” Twilight asks.

Chrysalis nods as she drinks another glass that the bartender refilled to the highest. “Yes, I would have lived longer if not for that accused eviction notice I got during the wedding. Thanks for that by the way.”

“Well you did invade, but that is not the point,” Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs and looks to her. “Then do you know why I called you here when I could have just told you about this over the letter?”

“You either choose me or you want me to find a replacement,” Twilight says.

Chrysalis actually smiled like a mother at her. “Great job Sparkle. But you are the only one in terms of magic that I can give this too. In my search and attack on the city, I looked for all those spells that will help in any way it can. But to transfer it over to a regular unicorn, their brains would be in a magical overload from all the power and knowledge especially with the connection to the hive mind. You need a stable mind to get through that.”

“So what will happen, will I become a changeling?” Twilight asks.

Chrysalis looks down. “I’m sorry Sparkle, but it will happen. Probably when you mate again because as a queen you will need to do is lay eggs. Funny that you are married already, but I should think your next heat cycle will do it when you can’t take much more. Your next heat will be unbearable. But, you will gain the knowledge on how to properly run a hive, use the mind-system, the spells I have learned and a bit of me.”

“Actually, I don’t think that will be necessary. You remember the changeling for my guard?” Twilight asks.

Chrysalis smiles a bit. “How could I not? He was somewhat excited to go out and see other places. Such an explorer. Why?”

“We did a little experiment. Come in Marco.” Twilight says.

Chrysalis looks to the door. “Marco?”

In walks a unicorn. “My queen.” He says in a voice she recognized.

Chrysalis looks to Twilight. “What did you do?”

“Exposed him to a new form of energy. It had an interesting effect on him and his magic now is at least three times and he can change between the three pony kinds.” Twilight explains.

Chrysalis sighs and turns back to her drink. “Congratulations Sparkle, you committed genocide.”

“Nope, for he is still a changeling. The blood is the same and everything, it just he can literally take on the appearances and abilities with his shapeshifting.” Twilight explains.

Chrysalis didn’t look at her. “Yet, would you tear ponies away from their home of their dead parents if you gave them a better home and upgrades in it and then make them forget about the old life?”

“Chrysalis, I know you don’t want to hear this, but your race has been dying out. Unless you change, you will be gone forever.” Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs. “And I will be. No change in healing or technology will beat that. Plus it’s the life of changeling. You have to be my successor Sparkle. Want to be the one where you didn’t accept the offer, change all the changelings and soon don’t have any that resembles the old tales as it should be. Even if the world change, there will always be a remnant of past life, that much is true. But those who avoid the past will find that it will catch up to them in the worst way possible. I need a successor Sparkle, so I will ask again, will you do it?”

“Just because you change it, doesn’t mean that you stop being yourself Chrysalis,” Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs and gives the drinks to her. “Will you do it, yes or no?” She asks as all the activity stop in the club as all the changelings stare at them.

“Yes, but I think you underestimate my advancements and being an alicorn,” Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs in relief. “Good, you will be able to live on your life as able, just now you got two kingdoms to watch over. Just make sure the changelings with you get the love needed. And yes, that will always be needed no matter what.” She said dryly before hitting Twilight with a sleep spell and sending her off the chair. “There, now one of you take her to my private room. She’s going to need it.” She said taking one last sip before following.

Blitz’s eyes shot open as he felt something powerful pass over the home. “What was that?”

Celestia raises her head up as she felt the magic pass over the castle. “No.” She whispered in despair.

Twilight groans as she sat up again and tries to open her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar bedroom. “What? What’s that smell?” She asks and immediately flinches on the sight of the decaying pool of green blood on the ground with some chitin in there. “That can’t be…”

‘Hello, is thing on?’ A voice asks in her head.

Twilight looks into the mirror and sees nothing has changed except her left eye is now green. “Minerva, please do a scan,” Twilight says.

“Scanning. No real changes except for new energy.” Minerva says.

‘Hello? Any changeling queen there?’ The voice asks again.

Twilight feels a slight buzzing in her head. “Chrysalis?”

‘Finally, I thought you would never wake up.’ Chrysalis said in her mind.

“It seems nothing really happened. Only my left eye’s color changed is all that happened.” Twilight says.

“…what?” Chrysalis asks.

Twilight sighs as she tries to think. “Well, I don’t feel much, OW!” She yelled as she held her head in pain as some indescribable buzzing came in and soon was meshed together with talking. “Guess that’s the hive mind.”

“All hail the queen.” The voices kept repeating.

‘Shut up!’ Chrysalis yelled. ‘And get back to work. Sorry about that. Look, it might be because we never had a pony do this before. The changes will slow, but they get gradually better as time goes on. I’ll try to help with the load and keep some of the spells until you need it. So how do you feel now?’

“Or maybe this is the extent of the changes,” Twilight says.

“Stop beating it so low Sparkle. Things happen and this will to you. Now then, onto official business. The club will be maintained without you. As for the changelings, they will go about their jobs on a daily basis, but newborns, they have to seen by you and helped cared by you and the brood mothers. Also, you may need to find a place to nest.’ Chrysalis explained.

“Huh?” Twilight asks having a bad feeling about this.

Blitz stretched himself as he walked through town. Trying to figure out what the surge was. “What the heck was that?” He asks himself before bumping into somepony and sending them into the ground. “Sorry.”

“No biggie,” Twilight said as she got up and dusts herself off.

“Oh, hey love, perfect timing and why are you wearing sunglasses?” Blitz asks.

Twilight nervous giggles as she adjusted them and twitches her ear. “Nothing much thought it was too bright.”

“I see, well you free?” Blitz asks.

Twilight was about to speak before a door slamming was heard in her head. ‘Nice memory, oh, I suggest you go to avoid suspicion.’ Chrysalis said.

“Twi?” Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head to clear it for a bit. “Sure, where do you want to go?”

“Why don’t we take a walk. After all, we haven’t seen each other lately.” Blitz says,

Twilight and starts to walk with him as they head to the park. “So do you need to talk to me about something or just enjoy this?” Twilight asks.

“I felt a strange energy surge not too long ago. It woke me up.” Blitz says.

Twilight giggles a bit. “Really, a…surge? How big was it?”

‘That orgasm was fantastic.’ Chrysalis said in her head.

“Twi is something wrong, your ear keeps twitching,” Blitz says.

Twilight grows a bit worried and starts to sweat. ‘Tell him, my dear. He’ll understand. After all, love ones don’t ever leave their family.’ Chrysalis soothes her. Twilight sighs before looking around and drags Blitz into a small cleaning sounding by tall thick bushes, away from prying eyes.

“Twi?” Blitz asks again.

Twilight breathes in deeply before moving her hoof to her glasses. “Please don’t hate me.” She said removing them.

Blitz tilts his head a bit, seeing Twilight’s now green eye. “So what’s the story behind that?” Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs and looks to him. “Chrysalis asks for my help and so I went over there to find out only to hear that she’s dying quicker than expected so she has to pass on the queen life to me. That’s how queens die. So I accepted and now, I’m like a pony changeling queen hybrid. I hope you don’t leave because I did something without your advice.” She said looking away, scared to know the result.

“Why would I leave?” Blitz asks petting Twilight.

Twilight looks back to him. “You don’t hate me? But…but…I became a changeling, something that may hurt something about our family.”

‘Told you and that last comment hurt a little.’

“You’re my wife and you said it yourself you only became a hybrid,” Blitz says holding her.

Twilight now tears up as she tries to look at him. “So…if I was fully a changeling…?”

“You would still be Twilight Sparkle, my Twilight,” Blitz says.

Twilight sniffs as she nuzzles him. “Blitz?” She cried.

“Shh, it’s all ok,” Blitz says.

Twilight keeps crying against him as passersby tried to figure out what noise was coming from that direction. “Blitz?” Twilight asks after a while and she finally stops crying, but still teared up a little.

Blitz nuzzles her. “Yes, my little queen?”

Twilight lets a giggle come out. ‘I like this stallion. Never let him go.’ Chrysalis said to which Twilight smiles at. “Can you…kiss me at least? I need to know you haven’t changed.” Blitz didn’t hesitate and captured her lips. ‘And you said I would need your club.’ Twilight thinks.

Chrysalis laughs in her head as Twilight pushes him down to the ground and they eventually separate and they look up to the sky. “Blitz, are you okay with me being like this, a queen?” Twilight asks as she drew figures on his naked chest with her hooves while laying at his side.

“As long as I don’t have to wear ridiculous clothing.” Blitz jokes while smiling at her.

Twilight giggles and sits up a bit. “She’s still here, in me. So if you hear me talking to myself, it’s probably Chrysalis.” She said hitting her head a bit.

‘And you say I’m the insane one.’ Chrysalis said.

“Ok,” Blitz says petting her again.

Twilight starts purring till she screeched sharply and clamps her hooves over her mouth. “Wha…?”

‘Oopsy forgot to mention you get some regular qualities of us, some.’ Chrysalis informed.

“Seems you’re going to have to take lessons from Vinyl love,” Blitz says before kissing her neck.

Twilight moans as she moves him around. “Blitz, stop it.” She said playfully.

‘This is looking hot.’ Chrysalis said as Twilight heard popcorn being eaten.

‘Hey, private time. So stop watching.’ Twilight thinks to her.

“Alright love, if you want that,” Blitz says holding her.

Twilight sighs in bliss as she feels the strands of love coming into her. ‘Is this…feeding off of love?’ She asks herself to which she got a nod from Chrysalis or what feels like a nod before he lets go. “Alright, I have to go set up for another trip and then finish up my business. Which reminds me, you have to see the parents.” Twilight said poking his bare chest.

“That is fine, I like your parents,” Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. “What about your parents? When will we meet them?”

“Twi, my adopted parents died in an accident before I was abducted,” Blitz tells her.

Twilight stops and looks at him. “Oh, I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be, it was a long time ago,” Blitz says touching his nose to hers.

Twilight lightly nuzzles him. “Are you okay with visiting my parents then?”

“Yeah, that is fine. So where will we be meeting them?” Blitz asks.

“Manehatten,” Twilight says.

“Manehatten huh?” Blitz says thinking something over.

Twilight smirks. “What are you thinking?”

“You mind if we visit somepony while we are there?” Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. “Depends, who is it?”

“I want to visit the sister who took care of me before I was adopted,” Blitz says.

‘Wait, this might help me find out who Blitz’s birth parents are.’ Twilight thinks. “Okay, family to family. So when can you go?” She asks.

“Right now,” Blitz says.

Twilight nods. “Okay, let me grab a few things from home and I can teleport us there. I think I remember enough of the place to get us to a good spot.”

“Tell the others before we go so they don’t send out your guards to look everywhere for us,” Blitz says.

Twilight blushed. “Right, I’ll be right back.” She said before charging a spell away.

“By the way how much longer will this,” Blitz stops to gesture to his wings. “Last?” Blitz finishes.

Twilight smiles. “I think today is the last day. So maybe around the time, you placed it on which was after lunch and before dinner. Around our time.”

“So will the magic wearing off be painful?” Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs and looks to him. “A little, but I’m sure you’ll be fine.”

“Ok, to home,” Blitz says with a hoof around Twilight.

Twilight giggles a bit before teleporting.
