There were a lot of changes made to the spa, rather suddenly and out of the blue, all of them designed for the single purpose of drawing in customers. The first of these was that the spa decided to offer a large discount on some new treatments, but only for a week.

The second was the fact that they offered a further discount to guards and people in the armed forces. It worked, really, really well, drawing in far more ponies then had ever really been drawn into the spa before.

They had never really done this before, because the spa ponies made enough money off the spa before. They did not need hundreds of customers, that just lead to a lot of stress. Having a small customer base that kept returning and was loyal was better then hundreds of customers.

Of course, now that was reversed as they simply needed to infect as many ponies as possible. And it was working. As long as they were careful, the whole town would be turned before anyone even had chance to notice.

One of the many guards that was currently staying at the spa was being tended to both the spa ponies at once. They had needed to call in outside help to deal with the massive increase in patreons, so it might have seemed strange that both the spa ponies were currently tending to the one stallion, but this pony was very important.

He was a Captain in the royal guard, and was on orders to check in on Twilight and make sure that she was safe. Of course, recruiting him would be a massive victory for them, so they were pouring all the resources that they could into making sure he did not catch on.

It was a dangerous game they were playing. If he managed to catch on to something being up, then it was game over for them. The princesses catching on this early in their plan would be a devistating loss, and they might even be destroyed. So far, it did not look like he was going to catch on however, lying face down on the massage table with a content smile on his face as Lotus rubbed softly at his back.

Somehow, they had also managed to trick him into wearing a blindfold. They would have claimed it was some massively intelligent play on their part, and that they were tactical geniuses, but that would be a lie. If they were being honest with themselves, they still did not know how their plan to make him wear a blind fold had worked. It must have been because of some information the hive had provided that had allowed them to get away with it.

But what were they going to do now? They had a plan, but how were they going to put it into action? Lotus kept calmly rubbing her hooves up and down his back, digging them in his back softly to remove as much of the tension that had built up within him as possible. The stallion let out a soft groan, stretching out as he enjoyed the feeling of her hooves working the tension from his back.

Aloe slowly looked towards her sister, giving her a slight nod of aknowlagement before her hoof went down and started to gently rub at her cunt, teasing softly at her clit as she begin to rub one out right in front of the guard captain. Thankfully for them they were in a private room so they should not be disturbed while doing this. Hopefully this plan would work or they were most certainly doomed.

They could not risk the hive mind, so they would have to destroy themselves to prevent being captured. Lotus kept him distracted by pressing her hooves rougher into a spot of tension on his back, causing him to gasp softly as Lotus rubbed faster at her snatch, already well on the way to obtaining one hell of an orgasm.

Right now they were waiting on the hive to react to their communications. Using the psyonic network was far, far slower then communicating via direct anal communications, and they really needed to set up some relays or something to make the process quicker.

Finally, Lotus recivied her reply. The hive mind had decided to grant her the extra help, and she felt an insane amount of strength suddenly flood to her muscles as she let out a grunt, right on the edge of her climax now. This was it. She needed to make her move. She moved forward as quickly as she was able, Aloe suddenly digging her hooves into a pressure point that caused the stallion to cry out in pain.

Lotus held his mouth open with her hooves as she violently thrusted her hips, managing to obtain her climax without even needing to touch herself. The stallion tried to let out a shocked cry to call for help, but he was quickly blasted in the face by her drugged load, which he swallowed down against his will, beginning to choke on the foul juices.

He begin to struggle wildly as Aloe tried desperately to hold him down. It would have not been possible to hold such a large stallion down had it not been for the strength that the hive had given her to complete this mission.

As the drugs begin to take effect, Aloe let out a soft moan of her own, the drugs working to weaken the stallion’s struggles as she worked her cunt frantically to try and squeeze something from out of it.

One of the foul parasitic worms slowly slid out of her cunt and dropped into her hoof. It was the normal molted gray color and writhed about hungrily in search of its victim. With the size of the massive stallion, they had wanted to use the more aggressive black strain of worm, but they wanted to keep his shell as intact as possible. He would be very useful to the hive.

The massive stallion almost managed to get up as she pulled his tail up. But his struggles were fruitless to her supernatural strength.

She pressed the gray worm to his anus, where it writhed about slightly, before diving forward and spreading apart his ass as it wiggled its way inside. The mare pressed her other hoof down against his back to hold him still as her sister held his mouth closed to try and silence is cries and prevent them from escaping outside of this room. They had gotten him now.

The drugs were rapidly taking effect, weakening the effect of his struggles and making his cries slowly die down as his body lost the battle to the parasite. He slowly went limp, the last of his resistance leaving him as the two spa sister’s looked to one another with a smile, both feeling proud of what they had just done.

Aloe and Lotus both then left the room, leaving the stallion in a crumpled heap on the table as the parasite did its terrible work, spreading its roots through his body and quickly joining him into the hive mind. They had just taken down a captain of the guard! And it had been surprisingly easy.

As they both slowly walked down the hallway, they spotted Rarity moving towards them. This was a private wing of the spa reserved for VIP’s, so nobody else should have been here. The two spa ponies turned around, checking that nobody had decided to come down there regardless, then flagging up their tails to let dozens of tiny tendrils spill free, grasping out and writhing around wildly.

Rarity also turned around, flagging up her feminine tail and letting her own tendrils spill free, all of them meshing together to begin sharing information as all their faces went slack, be oming nothing more then empty shells of ponies as information was passed between them.

While the spa ponies had been doing their work with the Captain of the guard, Rarity had also been really busy setting u traps for all of the customers. Soon they would really start to pick up numbers.

The three of them stood there, still as statues and with faces twice as emotionless, foul black tendrils pulsing with life as they worked. And then, just a few minutes later the tendrils pulled back into their bodies. All three of them went limp as their brains worked to reboot. There was not much more they could do, the traps were set and ready to go

Author's Note

The lost chapter. I had no idea how it is I managed to lose this, but I am not as happy with it as I was with the other chapters. I am putting it up regardless because some people might like it.
