It was a beautiful day in the Equestrian Wasteland… Well, as beautiful as it could get. The sun was hiding behind a thick curtain of clouds like it had done for the past two centuries, and only a dim light shone down onto the long-abandoned settlement.
What had once been a plain, unseeming village in the middle of nowhere had since evolved into a miserable-looking settlement; a decaying assembly of moldering houses, none of which looked like they would survive the next year despite having weathered the past two centuries.
Dead silence hung over the village; silence that was only interrupted by the soft thud of something landing on the dusty ground in the center of the settlement.
Dark Water looked around as he launched into a soft landing on the wasteland ground and let his leathery wings fold in. His light blue eyes carefully scanned the abandoned village around him, his sensitive ears twitching lightly as he listened for any noise.
One second.
Two seconds.
There. There it was again. A gentle thud, followed by a clatter.
His body perked up, eyes widening attentively as his ears located the origin of the sound in the building ahead of him.
The bat pony felt his lip curl into a grin. Another scavenger, it seemed. Right on cue.
He licked his lips, briefly showing off his sharp fangs as he pulled a rusty, beaten shotgun from a strap around his midsection and held it in his hoof. Briefly, he raised his left leg, checking his PipBuck, before setting his focus back on the building ahead of him. Indeed, his EFS showed one sole dot ahead of him - yellow, non-hostile.
Dark smirked mischievously as he got underway, drawing closer to the building with silent steps. See how long it’d stay that way.
Of course, he wasn’t planning on killing or even harming this pony; that just wasn’t his style. He had long since given up the losing battle of being a ‘good’ pony, realizing that, in a world as fucked-up as the one he had been born into, the best one could do is say ‘fuck it’ and just try to get by somehow; make ends meet by any means possible. However, he wasn’t a murderer; he didn’t go out aiming to harm ponies… not those that didn’t deserve it, anyway.
He didn’t have any family or friends to speak of, having grown up by himself in the wastes. And with the Wasteland seeming to throw a bigger threat at him with every day that passed, he just… tried to get by; and did whatever it took to achieve just that. He didn’t consider himself a criminal per se; and he sure as fuck didn’t want to be thrown into one pot with this raider-scum.
He just did what had to be done to see the sun rise for another day. And if that meant persuading some blue-eyed scavenger to share their loot with him… well…
He bared his teeth sinisterly, his hoof wrapping around the barrel of his shotgun.
Then maybe it was time to put his persuasion-skills to use.
Not wasting another second, the bat pony closed in on the building. Through the long gone door, he could see into the dark insides of what might have once been a saloon, although the still considerably bright light outside made it hard for his sensitive eyes to spot anything inside.
Slowly, his cautious walk came to a crawl, before he stopped by the side of the door, leaning his head forward and carefully peeking inside.
It took his eyes a moment or two to adjust to the semi-darkness within the building, but when he could finally see clearly, it was easy to make out the pony his EFS had warned him about: sitting at the far end of the small room -the insides of the saloon had long been devastated, shards and splinters littering the floor- hunched over a large pouch lying on the ground was a mare. A… fairly short unicorn mare.
Dark tilted his head to the side, cocking an eyebrow. The blue and yellow overall made it seem like she was one of those so-called stable dwellers that were wandering the wastes - most of which were pretty naive, blue-eyed ponies that more often than not wound up getting themselves mugged, raped or killed by raiders.
But this one…
Again, Dark made a face. It might have just been his eyes playing a trick on him, but she appeared to be way smaller than most other mares he had seen wandering the wastes by themselves. Hell, she was barely taller than a filly!
He stopped dead in his tracks, making a face as the thought of ‘robbing’ a poor, innocent filly crossed his mind.
He frowned.
No, he wasn’t that kind of pony.
However, he was quick to brush these thoughts aside. Even if that pony should turn out to be but a filly, perhaps she was lost? Perhaps she had a family waiting somewhere? A family that might pay him quite well for returning their lost filly, not to mention.
With that in mind, Dark shrugged silently, then set hoof into the house. Momentarily, he contemplated calling out to her so as not to scare her, but discarded that thought rather quickly - in a place like the Equestrian Wasteland, one couldn’t be careful enough.
So instead, he kept walking - silently, step by step, he closed in on the mare, who appeared to still be digging through a taut pouch filled with all sorts of junk, appearing to be searching for valuables.
Again, he made a face, rolling his eyes. Scavengers.
Oh well…
Finally, Dark came to a halt behind the mare; close enough for his shotgun to be effective should things go downhill, but far enough away should the mare turn out to be armed with a knife, bat, pipe, or whatever.
“Alright missy,” Dark’s voice cut through the silence like a knife through flesh. He kept his shotgun at the ready, not wanting to aim at the mare right away, but still wanting to be prepared for the worst. In addition, he made sure to boost his voice a bit, wanting to sound intimidating rather than meek. “Let me see those hooves.”
In an instant, the mare stopped her frantic searching, almost freezing in her movement. Then, slowly, she turned her head, and for the first time Dark got a closer look at her features.
Sitting in front of him was indeed an adult mare, albeit a fairly small adult mare. Her light gray fur was mostly concealed by the blue and yellow stable suit she was wearing, and her deep green eyes were quick to meet his as she turned her head.
“Hello there~” the mare spoke up, her voice quite high-pitched; presumably due to her small body frame. She seemed… awfully calm and relaxed, given the integrity of things. As if she had been waiting for him.
Really, Dark knew he didn’t look like the most intimidating of ponies with his unseeming, plain brown hoodie, but… given the fact that he had essentially snuck up on her, it’d seem appropriate that she’d be at least a little bit… startled or something.
However, she just looked back at him with a relaxed, almost casual grin on her face; a fact that made the hair on Dark’s neck stand on edge.
But of course, he did his best to not let it affect him as he raised the arm holding the shotgun, putting on a confident face. “So, scavenger, huh?” he said, a subtle hint of condescension in his voice, “Made any good discoveries lately?” he smirked, lightly swaying the shotgun in his hooves, “Anything you feel like sharing?”
The little stable dweller raised an eyebrow as she looked him over, perhaps needing a second to understand what he was referring to. He couldn’t blame her, really. Stable ponies - when it comes to wasteland-life, they were as intelligent as Brahmin sometimes.
He opened his mouth, ready to elaborate and make it clear what it was he wanted, but cut himself off as the mare reciprocated his smirk, and her green eyes shot him a cutting glance.
“Actually,” she said smugly as her left hoof, concealed by her body, lightly tapped against the pouch next to her, “I think I just made a pretty good catch.”
“Heh,” Dark smirked, baring his teeth. This was just too easy, “Well then, why don’t yooooah!?” he was cut off mid-sentence as the mare’s horn suddenly lit up with a light green hue, and mere split second later, Dark yelped as he felt the shotgun yanked from his grip with a sudden, utterly surprising force.
“Whatthefuck!?” his mouth sputtered out even before his mind could process what had happened, the force of the yank almost upsetting his balance and throwing him off his hooves. His ears twitched as he heard the mare chuckle softly, although his attention was mostly focused on his shotgun that was now pointed right at him, hovering in the mare’s magical aura mere inches away from dark’s forehead.
“Too easy.” the mare remarked visibly amused, her face a bemused grin as she slowly, comfortably, arose to her hooves, and came walking into the direction of the thestral.
“W-what the…!?” Dark gasped, feeling his heart pound in his ears, his eyes never leaving his shotgun; his trusty H&K Fabarm FP6, which was now being used against him - a sight that was truly disturbing to think about.
“Come on, did you really think I didn't notice you coming in?” the short mare asked almost reproachfully as she closed in on the stallion, “You should know how an EFS works… hell, you have a PipBuck yourself!” she pointed out, the shotgun momentarily pointing at the device around Dark’s leg. “It’s in terrible condition, by the way. It’s a miracle how it’s still running.”
Dark needed a moment to fully understand what she had just said, but the questions on his mind were answered as his look went down to the mare’s ankle where, lo and behold, a well-maintained PipBuck in pristine condition was visible.
“...Fuck.” Dark furrowed his brow. How… how didn’t he know? How the fuck could he have forgotten!? Almost every stable dweller was wearing one of these things around their leg! Hell, that’s where those things came from in the first place!
He found himself wanting to facehoof, but managed to control himself in light of the gun still pointed at his head.
“What, sour you got overwhelmed by a mare?” said mare asked almost tauntingly, “Don’t worry, you’re not the first one.” she said, grinning sinisterly, “They never suspect the small ones.”
Dark sighed, rolling his eyes. Another thing about stable dwellers - most, if not all of them were complacent little shits.
“Fine.” he sighed, visibly annoyed. “You got me, okay? Tell you what, you give me my gun back, and we can both be on our way.”
The mare snickered at that. Her look went up to the ceiling for a moment as she pretended to contemplate his suggestion, before she decidedly looked back at him. “Hmm, no.” she declined briefly, shaking her head.
Dark sighed again, increasingly annoyed, “Look, I don’t have anything on me. If you’re trying to mug me, there’s nothing to take, so if you can just-”
“Take off your clothes.”
The command was just as cold and emotionless as it was surprising to Dark, who stopped dead in his tracks.
“...What!?”
“You heard me.” the mare repeated herself soberly, “Your hoodie, take it off.” she commanded with a brief nod at the stallion’s body.
“What the fuck is wrong with you!?” Dark snarled, cocking an eyebrow. Why in the world was she telling him to get undressed? Did she want to steal his hoodie out of pure spite or something!?
He narrowed his eyes, his grim look going back to his gun floating in front of him, wondering if she even knew how to handle such a thing. Hell, being a stable dweller she probably had never even touched a gun in her life before coming out into the wastes; simple to operate as a shotgun might be, chances are she didn’t even know how-
“That’s a nice gun,” she remarked, seeming to have caught his glance, “12 gauge, right? Coming from Germaneigh if I’m not mistaken.” she noted, her green eyes coming to rest on the weapon in question, before going back to meet those of Dark, “I used to have one of those myself… until my friend annexed it.” she explained, slowly twisting the gun in her telekinesis.
“A bit rough to handle, but they do make quite a mess.” she grinned deviously, locking eyes with him, “Do you really wanna die that badly? It wouldn’t leave a pretty sight to look at, I’m sure.”
Dark’s slit eyes narrowed as he stared back at her, his teeth clenching. The struggle for dominance lasted just a few brief moments, before Dark grimaced and hissed a curse under his breath.
Damn his curiosity. Damn it all to hell. He should’ve just kept flying.
Taking a step back from the floating gun to give himself some space, he stretched out his membrane wings -which, unbeknownst to him, got him a curious raise of an eyebrow from his captor- and fought to wiggle his way out of the hoodie. A few moments -and some annoyed grunts- later, and the single piece of clothing was discarded to the ground, leaving Dark in his birthday suit. Which… really wasn’t all that different from his normal outfit, safe for the fact that the fluff on his chest was now exposed, and he bristled softly.
“Hmm…” the mare mused, looking him over from head to toe, “Not the best, but… at least you smell a bit better than most of the others.”
Dark frowned at that, ears folding back. What was that supposed to mean!?
However, before he had time to get outraged, he flinched a bit as he felt the shotgun’s barrel prod into his chest, jabbed by the mare’s magic.
“Now lay on your back.” she commanded firmly. Her voice was dry, sober, albeit with an undeniable touch of anticipation in it.
“Fucking…” Dark wanted to protest, but bit his tongue. God knows he didn’t want to be killed by his own gun, and -so far, anyway- the mare hadn’t given him a legitimate reason to get too worried. He… definitely had done worse things at gunpoint.
Thus, he reluctantly lowered himself to the ground and rolled onto his back, keeping his eyes locked onto her in case she were to try anything funny.
“Theeere we go~” the mare cooed with a pleased grin on her face. She stepped closer to him, the shotgun hovering over to float above his face. “Not just be quiet…” she said teasingly as she laid a hoof on Dark’s hind leg, and firmly pushed it to the side. “And this won’t take long~”
“Whoa what the-” Dark gasped, his eyes widening as he realized just what the mare was doing. However, a light but noticeable bump with the butt of the shotgun sufficed to inform him that the mare whose hooves his life lay in wanted him to shut up. He… wasn’t really in a position to object.
Thus, without him protesting, it was easy for the mare to push Dark’s other leg to the side too, revealing his crotch. Even in the semi-darkness of the saloon, Dark was sure he saw a light blush form on her face as she laid eyes on his fur-covered sheath, and the pair of sizeable balls hanging underneath.
Dark swallowed as the mare’s intentions became clear to him, and he felt his chest getting weightless as he saw her smirk in the darkness.
“Hmm,” she cooed idly, stretching out a hoof and giving his balls a gentle prod, “Not too bad, not too bad.” she said cheekily, and slowly let her gaze wander back up to his face, a devilish grin on her face as she said, “You should do.”
“Okay okay…” Dark said, forcing out a chuckle as he straightened himself up, “Look, if that’s what you want, you really don’t have to threaten me with a gun. I mean- Mmf!”
He was once again cut short as an aura of magic had wrapped itself around his chest, forcing him back onto the ground with an unrelenting force. The shotgun was all too quick to remind him of its presence with another, less gentle prod into his chest.
“I didn’t tell you to speak, did I?” the mare said with a glare, “Now shut your mouth, or this’ll be over before it even started.”
Dark swallowed at that, needing to once again remind himself of the deadly force that was hovering mere inches away from where his heart was still rapidly pounding away.
The mare, however, didn’t leave him time to contemplate these thoughts. Without much hesitation, she focused back on his crotch where, fueled by the earlier prodding, and the general idea of being… exposed like this in front of a… not too bad-looking mare, Dark Jr. had since left his hiding spot, and was now gradually growing to his full size.
Dark felt himself blush a bit, his ears folding back as he watched the mare inspect his black rod with a raised eyebrow, lightly prodding it with a hoof, before booping it with her snout, which made her lips curl into another devious grin.
The stallion tilted his head to the side, a tad bit confused. Was this… her first time or something? Had she never seen a dick before? Or was she just this curious?
Well, he didn’t have time to finish these thoughts, as mere seconds after, the mare muttered a brief, “Okay, let’s see how you’ll do.”
Before he knew it, she had let up on his crotch, and was back on her hooves. He had already opened his mouth to ask just what she was doing, but the words died on his tongue as he watched her turn around so that her behind facing him. Seconds later, an aura of magic formed around what Dark could quickly identify as a zipper that ran along the middle of her stable suit.
A quick flaring up of her horn, a drawn-out zzzzzzip, and Dark’s eyes widened as the garment was essentially split in half. Following gravity’s unyielding call, the two halves slid to the side, an artificial tear now running from the mare’s middle back, past her raised tail, over her butt, crotch, all the way up to her belly, granting Dark a first-row view of…
The bat pony swallowed, feeling his mouth water instinctively as the mare’s pussy presented itself to him. A set of two tight, yet equally inviting-looking lips, wet with what could only be anticipation made him bite his lip, the subtle-looking pucker resting above it just serving as the frosting on the cake. He felt his heart pound in his chest as her scent hit his nostrils, and it was only thanks to the shotgun still firmly pressing into his chest that he resisted the urge to just jump to his hooves and take her right there.
Really, it was beyond him why she was still holding him pinned down like this; he sure as hell wasn’t about to run away with a sight like this. Maybe she just enjoyed being in charge - he wasn’t going to complain either way.
Not that he had time to complain, anyway. For all her curiosity with inspecting his shaft earlier, the little mare sure was eager. Wiggling her butt a bit -again, a motion that was more than welcomed by Dark- she got adjusted, lining herself up with his stallionhood, before Dark watched her legs bend as she slowly squatted down.
He was sure he heard a soft squeak come from her as his tip made contact with her readily waiting folds; an observation that only fueled his arousal, making his dick -which had long since reached full mast-status- give a spontaneous twitch, pre already leaking.
The mare turned her head, shooting Dark a glance over her shoulder, the look in her green eyes speaking volumes as she slowly let herself sink back, his pre and her own juices serving as sufficient lubricant. For a brief moment Dark was worried that he might not fit -he was, admittedly, not the most hung stallion, but did have a pretty decent girth to call his own, and this mare did seem fairly tight- but before he knew it, he had entered her, and could hear her give the cutest of moans as she slowly impaled himself on his stallionhood.
Dark, in turn, couldn’t hold back a gasp, his eyes drifting shut with pleasure. She was… tight, alright. Not enough to be uncomfortable, but tight enough to be… pretty enjoyable for both of them. At least, that’s what he liked to think, based on the way her legs trembled softly as she gently lowered herself, all the way until her now bare cheeks made contact with his pelvis.
“Mmmmf.” she groaned, not giving any further commentary as she rested down for a moment, before she pushed herself up again, her marehood only reluctantly releasing Dark’s rod inch by inch, until it was almost free again, the cool air causing it to twitch lightly.
“That’s what I’m talking about.” she muttered softly, probably more to herself than to Dark, as she shifted her weight back, letting herself slide back again, faster this time.
All the while, the shotgun was still resting firmly on Dark’s chest, reminding him that, at least for now, he served as little more than a walking dildo to the petite mare. A… quite enjoyable dildo, if he gauged her reaction correctly, but a dildo nonetheless.
Well, he still wasn’t going to complain. Really, if this was all the little mare had wanted, they could have just skipped this whole threatening-part. All she had to do was ask and Dark would have gladly-
He didn’t have time to finish that thought, a wave of pleasure surging through his body and bringing everything to a standstill for a moment as the mare, having since risen up again, let herself not slide, but drop back onto Dark’s shaft, gaining a hearty gasp from both of them.
“C-careful.” Dark warned her softly, more out of instinct than anything else. He didn’t mind if things would get a bit rough in bed, but the goddesses know the last thing he wanted was for her to hurt herself… and maybe end up blaming it on him.
“Shut up.” the half-spoken, half-moaned response wasn’t long in coming as the mare, her legs shaking more than ever, sat impaled on his dick. She began to slowly force herself back up, her hooves struggling to find purchase on the ancient wooden floor. “J-just shut up and…” she moaned softly, lifting her petite butt by just a few inches, “L-let me… ungh…” she didn’t come too far before her legs gave out on her again and she slammed back down onto him, gaining an involuntary gasp from the stallion.
Dark bit his lip, almost hard enough to draw blood as his fangs dug into the flesh, eyes locked onto this cute little butt slowly arising from his crotch again. And suddenly… something within his brain took over, as he gently bucked his hips upward, helping her along the way. The mare, acknowledging his gesture, gave a low growl, but didn’t protest enough to make him stop.
Grinning a pleased grin, Dark let his hips sink again, just to bring them back up just in time as the mare let herself sink again, and gaining a barely contained groan from her as he slid into her once again. He was sure he had also heard her mutter a brief “Yes!”, but sensitive as his ears were, he could be mistaken.
Regardless, he couldn’t hear her protest, and if the pressure gradually vanishing off his chest was anything to go by, she was slowly but steadily reaching the point where pleasure would override concentration, and he would get his beloved shotgun back… or at least not be held at gunpoint any longer.
Of course, this wasn’t the first time he had been held at gunpoint, and he sure as heck wasn’t going to complain about the overall situation, but nevertheless, he couldn’t deny that he’d be a bit more comfortable without a gun pressing into his chest. Just as an… added bonus.
She lifted herself up again, Dark following her motion seamlessly, the two bodies moving in almost perfect unison now, and gradually picking up the pace. Single moans and gasps were breaking the silence of the abandoned saloon, and Dark found it quite adorable how, for her short size and high-pitched voice, the mare could give quite the lovely moans whenever their two bodies collided and pleasant shudders ran down her spine.
A few more moments filled with pleasure passed, and with another firm buck of his hips, Dark gained a loud, un-contained moan from the mare, and with a clatter the shotgun dropped from her telekinetic grip and fell to the ground next to him. Visibly relieved, yet too swept up in pleasure to really think about it, Dark just smiled, completely giving in to the mare’s movements as she rode him like he had never been ridden before.
If she cared or had noticed the fallen gun at all, she didn’t let it show, relentlessly grinding herself up and down his dick at an ever-increasing pace. What had started off as occasional muffled moans had soon grown into regular pants, interrupted by intense sighs whenever Dark bucked his hips upward.
It wasn’t before long that Dark could feel himself getting closer to his climax. It… had been a while since he had gotten some real action, and his stamina was more limited than he’d care to admit. However, based on the pants, ever-increasing in frequency and intensity, coming from his partner, she was nearing the point of no return as well.
Realizing that the finale was drawing near, Dark lay still for a few moments, letting the mare do the work with her body, and contemplating his options. Surely, it would be rewarding to remain in this position and calmly ride their both orgasms out, but…
He felt a grin form on his face as a new thought crossed his mind. Momentarily, he glanced over to the shotgun still lying discarded next to him. He briefly thought about pushing it away to the side, but was worried that the mare noticing any movement involving him and the gun now would interrupt the passionate love-making at best, and end with his brain on the wall at worst, so he quickly discarded that thought again.
However, this particular thought had grabbed him, and wouldn’t let him go. And with both himself and the mare coming closer to their peak with every little movement she made on top of him, lust soon overrode common sense or caution.
And before either of the two knew what was going on, Dark was in an upright position and had wrapped his both forelegs around the mare’s torso. He made sure to leave her forelegs free, so as to show her that he didn’t mean to detain her or hold her down, but was pleased as all that came from her was no protest, but another, longer and more intense moan, just as he pushed into her again.
Now there was no holding back. She knew what she wanted, and he knew it too. With any reservations thrown overboard, the two ponies seemed to melt into one another, the mare moaning as she felt Dark’s hot breath against her neck, his hooves gently caressing her midsection as he gently rocked her up and down with his best piece. More out of instinct than anything else, Dark caught himself gently nuzzling and kissing the mare’s neck - she smelled pleasantly clean for a wasteland pony.
The mare, in turn, gave in to his affection, caught-up in her own pleasure as she threw her head back, moaning intensely, her eyes drifting shut with her ever-increasing pleasure.
Then everything seemed to happen at once. Giving a groan as he felt himself enter the mare one more time, Dark felt his pleasure peak, and his bat pony-instincts kicking in as his mouth, driven by pure instinct, shot forward, and gently bit into the mare’s shoulder. Not hard enough to draw blood or even really hurt, but enough to get noticed. A noise that was more shout than moan made his ears twitch.
Mere split seconds later, a convulsion of her body, and a longer moan through clenched teeth announced that the mare had reached her peak as well. And perhaps Dark’s gentle bite only served as the cherry on top as her face grimaced, and she half-moaned, half-shouted, “Mmmm, yes!” into the emptiness of the room.
Feeling the mare clench around his member merely fueled Dark’s own orgasm, the bat pony giving a low growl as he felt his dick twitch, firing a long, first strand of cum into his unexpected mate. Another groan, the stallion throwing his head back in uncontrolled arousal, and a second strand came shortly after, followed by a third, and a fourth. His grip around the mare’s midsection grew tighter, and for a moment he was worried his hooves digging into her slender midsection might hurt, but if the short mare minded at all, she didn’t let it show, clenching her teeth as every thrust of Dark’s hips made her moan out in pleasure.
The spectacle continued for a few more moments before gradually dying down, the two ponies slowing down in their movements, before Dark -unable to hold himself in his post-orgasmic haze- felt himself fall over backwards, and land on his backside. Even without him involuntarily dragging her down with him, the mare followed suit, landing on Dark’s chest in a thoroughly exhausted heap. Dark’s softening member only slowly slid out of her marehood, creating a small rivulet of juices that ran over Dark’s inner thigh and onto the wooden floor as she lay on top of him, panting.
For a few moments, blissful silence was all that filled out the room, only occasionally broken by the sound of two ponies breathing; recovering from what must have been quite the intense orgasm.
Gradually, Dark felt his breathing return to normal, and without really thinking about what he was doing, he felt his hoof slide over the mare’s inner thigh, gently caressing her recovering form, feeling her chest rise and fall against his, and her gently breathing into his neck.
“That was… good.” the mare gasped, only slowly catching her breath. Her voice sounded all the more cute now that she was a little hoarse.
Slowly, gradually, she struggled to turn over onto her belly, still resting atop Dark. Their faces were mere inches from each other, and Dark spotted a faint blush reappear on her cheeks as he looked into her deep green eyes.
“You uhh… wanna go for round two?”
Dark merely smirked, locking eyes with the adorable unicorn, his hooves still idly wrapped around her; the discarded shotgun lying next to them now seemed completely forgotten.
He smirked.
“Ready when you are.”
