The Witchblade EqG: The 13 Artifacts

“I will now attempt my latest augmentation experiment. I will be focusing more on offense than defense. These lines on my arm are, for all intents and purposes, circuits that will facilitate the bioelectric energy of my body, magnify it, and if I’m correct, allow me to produce an electrical current through my hand. I will now attempt to light this lightbulb using the energy I produce. On average an electric eel produces six-hundred volts of electricity, while the human body can produce up to seventy-trillion volts, the majority of which is wasted energy. But if it could be focused, harnessed, then that’s something different.”

Twilight was alone in the house again, which was good because her next test required privacy. She was holding a lightbulb in her right hand, her entire right arm had intricate, glowing neon blue lines that weaved the length of her arm and ending at her hand. Ever since the attack, which was about two days ago, Twilight had been formulating ways to grant her body both defensive and offensive options. She made a breakthrough with the armor skin and strength enhancement, which had both qualities to them, now she needed something that was a little more offensive that she could quickly deploy and would have maximum impact on her assailant.

The teen genius concentrated, and when she did, the lines glowed brighter and brighter, and a couple of seconds after glowing, the lightbulb turned on. Small arcs of neon blue electricity would shoot off from the lines, a result of her latest augmentation experiment. She picked up another lightbulb, a one-hundred-and-twenty-watt bulb, and it was a success as well. Twilight disengaged the ability and now looked towards a grounded metal rod that was sticking up in the backyard on the concrete porch. She brought the camera closer and looked into it.

“I will now try and discharge my own bioelectricity as a means of long-range offense. Here goes nothing,” said Twilight.

The purple teen held out her right hand, grabbing her wrist with her left hand to steady her arm. The neon blue lines glowed brightly again as the electricity began to coalesce at the palm of her right hand. More and more the crackling sound grew louder, the air smelled of ozone, and then, with a small crack of thunder, neon blue lightning arced from Twilight’s hand towards the metal pole. The pole was struck by the lightning, which was then dispersed by the spare tire she had taken from Sunset’s garage.

“Whoo-hoo!” Twilight exclaimed as she jumped up and down. “Success! Success! It really worked!”

Twilight had another idea and instead of using her whole palm she made a finger gun gesture with that same hand. Electricity funneled into her index finger, and with an exclamation of the word “Bang!” Twilight fired a smaller version of her lightning blast that hit her target with a bit more accuracy. A fun idea came to her mind, Twilight found some empty cans in the recycling ben and lined them up in the style of a shooting gallery. Twilight reproduced the same lines on her left arm, going for a dual wield ability. The teen genius narrowed her eyes, playing as if this were an old western.

“Draw!”

Twilight fired one lighting shot at the far right can, hitting it and launching it off the bench. She fired another lightning shot from her left hand, hitting the far left can. Twilight continued like this until all ten cans were blasted off the bench, she then blew on each of her fingers and pretended to holster them.

“Fastest finger guns in the west,” Twilight proclaimed. “The unscientific aside, of course.”

It was going to get late soon, so Twilight decided to clean up before her parents or the Sunsets got back. With her being able to augment her body, Twilight was able get it done faster. She had removed her shirt and used one of her newer abilities, she found out last night, while everyone was asleep, that she could grow more things from her body, she successfully produced large avian black wings from her back, black mostly because she didn’t want anyone to see them while she was flying at night. And she did, she was able to achieve flight by increasing the strength of her wings and changing her bones to a hollow bone like that of a bird, while at the same time, increasing their density to prevent them from breaking. She was airborne for a good thirty minutes before she decided to call it quits and landed on the ground with…relative ease, and by relative she faceplanted.

One of the other things she found she could do was grow more appendages, in this case arms. Twilight concentrated, her body glowed green, and she immediately produced four additional arms from her back for a total of six. The transformation also accounted for the extra nerves and wiring of her brain to control the new arms and make them as much a part of her as if they were always there. With the additional arms, Twilight was able to clean up a lot faster, and she was able to move faster too. She found that she could essentially change her physiology to something resembling a plant’s photosynthesis, absorbing sunlight to energize her cells and prevent any fatigue or tiredness in her muscles. It made for quick work and more stamina.

When everyone arrived home, they greeted her as usual, none the wiser of what Twilight was up to. She wanted to tell them, but Twilight knew that she would only worry her parents and the Sunsets even more with this turn of events. And yes, she understood that she was doing the exact same thing that she was doing regarding the abuse she was suffering at CPA, but this was different. And really, part of Twilight didn’t want to tell them anything. She was tired of being just a brain, someone to protect, someone who was weak and a burden to her loved ones. Now she had powers, how, she still didn’t know, but regardless of the how, she was able to control those powers. And now she could stand on even ground with her Sunset, possibly at least, she wasn’t about to start comparing her abilities to that of Sunset’s Ember Stone, or Pony Sunset’s Witchblade, those two items were magical and nearly godlike in power, she wasn’t anywhere near those levels of power.

After dinner and everyone talked about their day, Twilight visited her girlfriend in her room and asked, “Hey, Sunset, I just wanted to know how the search was going?”

Sunset sighed in dismay. “Not easily…that bitch has dropped off the map. I hate to admit it, but she’s smart. She’s using paper money, untraceable, so there’s no way to find her that way. Since Lemon knows that the cops are looking for her, she’s probably sticking to places that they won’t find her, either in sleazy motels that don’t give a crap, or in rundown places that are perfect for rave parties.”

Twilight wrapped her arms around her lover and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “It’s alright, I know you two will find her. Just don’t push yourselves too hard.”

Sunset wrapped her arms around Twilight and hugged her tight. “Thanks, Sparky.”

Twilight smiled and then ended the hug as she began to leave the room. “You better turn in, don’t use my safety as an excuse to stay up late. I don’t want to hear that your grades are slipping because of me.”

Sunset rolled her eyes at the insinuation. “Please, I could make up any grade with whatever assignment they give me, and still have enough left over to pass out to the rest of the student body.”

“Mmm-hmm, and there’s that braggadocios side of you that I find endearing,” said Twilight.

“Oh, well then, if you want, I can show you more of this side, in your room,” Sunset offered.

“Down girl, maybe when I don’t have a killer after my life.”

“Is that meant to be incentive to get me to find her faster? ‘Cause if that is, then hell, I’ll go out right now!”

“Ugh, go to sleep you horndog!” Twilight ordered playfully before closing the door behind her.

“You know you love me when I’m horny!”

Twilight facepalmed, glad that her parents were in the downstairs bedrooms where they couldn’t hear Sunset’s banter. Another night of neither of the Sunsets finding out where Lemon Zest was. Perhaps…Perhaps it was time that Twilight tried her hand at this?

It was midnight, and all was quiet in Shimmer Manor, except for the teenage, purple skinned girl who had opened her window. Twilight had cut holes in her hoody allowing for her newly created avian wings to unfurl. It was a moonless night, perfect for sneaking around. She enhanced her vision to allow her to see in the dark, making everything, at least in her eyes, as bright as if it were daytime. Twilight perched herself on the windowsill, steeling herself to jump out and fly into the night. However, a whimpering sound caught her attention and made the teen genius turn around. She saw Spike there with a worried expression on his face, Twilight got down from the windowsill and sat on her knees before her faithful canine companion.

“Don’t worry, Spike, I won’t be gone long. I’m just going to see if I can track down Lemon Zest.”

Spike whimpered again, placing his paw on her leg as if saying “Don’t go.”

“I have to do this,” she assured Spike while petting him on his head. “I have to prove to myself that I’m stronger, I have powers now Spike, I don’t need to be afraid anymore. I won’t confront her; I’ll track her down and call Sunset to come and take her in. That’ll be enough.”

Twilight picked up Spike and hugged him close to her chest, her black wings wrapping around them in response to make a more enclosing hug. When she was done, Twilight put Spike back down and resumed her place on the windowsill. Steeling her nerves once again, Twilight leapt out and unfurled her wings, giving a mighty flap that propelled her into the air. Twilight had read about the mechanics of how winged animals fly and applied them to her flying. Before she knew it, her body was adjusting, making it second nature to her.

She flew higher and higher until the city and residences were twinkling lights down below. Twilight shouted her excitement into the open air as she performed loops and spins in the air, passing through what little clouds were floating up in the sky. After enjoying the freedom of flight, Twilight pulled out her cellphone and inputted Lemon Zest’s home address. She followed the directions and found herself right above the manor, it was smaller than Sunset’s, but no less expensive. From the looks of it, it was abandoned, why she did not know, but this would just make it easier.

Twilight landed on the rooftop, faceplanting again as she still couldn’t land worth a damn. “Really got to work on that…” She recalled her wings and moved towards the skylight. The window was just big enough to allow her to slip through, with that determined, she made her index fingernail grow out, becoming sharper and harder like a diamond. She easily cut through the glass, making a square entryway for herself, but before the glass could fall, Twilight transformed her left hand, creating suction cups like that of an octopus that allowed her to latch onto the window before it could fall away. She moved the cut-out piece and gently placed it on the roof.

Before she entered, Twilight made all her body hair retreat into her, she even made her hair and eyebrows disappear, leaving her clean shaven from head to toe. Her fingers and palms became smooth, making sure that there would be no way for police to pick up any hair samples or fingerprints to show that she had been here.

Twilight recreated the suction cups on her hands and scaled the ceiling, carefully entering the home. She took a quick look around, she increased her hearing ability, closing her eyes and augmenting her brain to work like that of a bat’s. She released a low sonic sound wave when she opened her mouth, too low for a human to hear, but with her new hearing, she could see the sound waves as they bounced up against everything, creating a mental map of the house, and allowing her to verify that the house was indeed empty.

The purple girl dropped down and landed on the floor, she moved through the hallway. Thankfully, it was easy enough to find Lemon’s room as there was police tape marking where Lemon Zest resided. Twilight made her way to that room and gasped when she saw the state of it. She expected Lemon Zest to be a messy girl, but this was on another level. The entire room was a wreck, mirrors shattered, furniture tossed, items strewn all over the floor, this was all indicative of a person whose mind was in a frenzy, on edge, filled with rage and hate.

Twilight wasn’t about to take back what she said about Indigo Zap, she hated the girl, and she was glad she was dead. However, the reality was that there were people who actually loved Indigo Zap, her parents, and Lemon Zest. While she did feel sympathy towards Indigo’s parents, she felt none for Lemon, at least they didn’t try and murder her. With her resolve reaffirmed, she entered the room and began looking for whatever she could find.

Still, what can I find that the police haven’t already combed through? And if they found something, it’s most likely in evidence already. Okay, Twilight, look for another angle here. A way to track Lemon Zest down that the police haven’t been able to do or are unable to do that you can?

Twilight saw some clothes tossed about onto the floor, and an idea struck her, an unpleasant one, but an idea, nonetheless. There was a way for her to find Lemon, she just needed something that smelled like Lemon. Unfortunately, Twilight knew what garment she needed to find if she was going to get a scent of the one she was tracking down. And lo and behold she found it, a pair of Lemon Zest’s worn panties.

I am not doing this for perverted reasons, this is to track her down. The human body produces large amounts of pheromones, a large amount of them is concentrated in the crotch of both males and females. If I augment my olfactory senses to that of a dog’s, and enhance that even further, I might be able to pick up Lemon’s scent.

The pair of dark purple panties were held aloft in Twilight’s hands, she really didn’t want to do this, but if there was a chance this might work then she couldn’t pass this up. Her nose began to glow and when the glow faded the changes were made. Twilight carefully brought her face closer to the piece of underwear and inhaled deeply. Twilight’s eye twitched as she retracted her face from it and dropped the undergarment, holding her hands over her nose.

OH MY GOD, SHE MASTURBATED IN THOSE!!! Oh, why did I have to find the ones she…she…made a mess in! GAH!!! It’s in my nose! It’s in my nose! Twilight shot to her feet and did a jig as if she couldn’t decide where to run to try and get away from the smell. Of all the things – I should’ve just used a shirt! I did NOT want to know what Zest’s feminine excretions smell like!

Whether she liked it or not, Twilight had the scent of Lemon Zest in her nose, her more personal scent. Thanks to her enhanced vision, Twilight was able to see a scent trail of sorts, it permeated the room, so Twilight exited and went into the hallway, once in there, she found that it was slightly better. Years of Lemon Zest living in this big manor had her scent plastered almost over everything, but it was strongest in the places that she frequented. Twilight determined if she was going to make any headway, she needed to get outside and see where that scent led her. She made her way to where the skylight was, bent her knees and jumped straight up, her thin frame managed to slip through the hole she made, and while she was in the air, she grew out her wings, allowing her to float in midair.

Now that she was outside the house, Twilight was able to see where the scent trail led her. From where she was, there was a less strong trail that went in the direction of Crystal Prep Academy, but the scent was stronger towards the city. She was going to have to fly low to locate the scent. Thankfully, Twilight dressed all in black, so she’d be hard to spot, Twilight concentrated and immediately her skin color changed to a deep black color, making her look like a living shadow.

Once that was done, the winged genius began her, well, “hunt” for her killer. She flew swiftly and carefully as she passed over several buildings and cars and had to hide on some rooftops from time to time to make sure she wasn’t spotted by people. The last thing she needed was to draw the attention of her girlfriend and adopted big sister, or the police. Twilight decided that going it from the air wasn’t going to be easy, so she needed to do a ground search instead. While on the rooftop, Twilight changed out of her clothes into more baggy clothes, they were her father’s casual clothes, ones that he didn’t wear often. When she changed out, Twilight assumed her male form, which she dubbed Dusk Shine.

While she was sure there wouldn’t be anyone from the school or Pony Sunset’s school that would recognize her, she didn’t want to take any chances. On top of that, if she did manage to find Lemon Zest, she didn’t want her to run away or attack her on sight. Twilight resumed her normal coloration and regrew her hair, in her new male style, and began her walk. She followed the scent trail, which was getting stronger, to a seedy looking gun shop. She kept her hood up and entered the store, inside was variety of firearms, everything from pistols, hunting rifles, shotguns, and assault rifles, before the supernatural happenings in the city, Twilight would’ve questioned the need for everyday citizens to have a war weapon like that in their homes, but with the angels, demons, and monsters, she could see the need now.

The scent trail was even stronger now, a trail that led all the way to the front counter where – “There she is!” Twilight whispered.

Indeed, there she was, Lemon Zest, dressed in a burgundy hoodie, a pair of ripped jean shorts, a black backpack. Even though Lemon kept her hood up Twilight didn’t need to see her face, the scent was most definitely Lemon Zest’s. She kept to a far enough rack, pretending to take interest in the assortment of hunting rifles. She lessened her sense of smell and focused on her hearing, now Twilight could hear what Lemon was discussing with the store owner.

“Sorry kid, I ain’t sellin’ to some little girl. No offense, but ya look unhinged,” said the owner.

“Tch, since when has that stopped you from sellin’ under the table?” Lemon shot back. “I’ve kept my ear to the ground, and word around says you’ll sell no questions asked, so long as the money’s good.”

The owner crossed his arms and looked Lemon Zest up and down. “Money, yes. But you don’t look like someone who’s got a lot of it. We could make an arrangement…”

Twilight wasn’t idiot, she knew what the owner was implying, and apparently so did Lemon Zest.

“Yeah, no. If I gotta suck a dick to get a gun, or get rode to get one, I’d rather it be from someone better lookin’ than you,” said Lemon Zest.

The owner got agitated and growled at Lemon Zest. “Then beat it, I’m runnin’ a business here!”

Lemon Zest chuckled, opened her backpack, reached in, and slammed stack of money on the counter. “Then let’s do business.”

The owner’s eyes widened from the stack of hundreds, he looked at the wad and then back to Lemon Zest, his demeanor shifting drastically. “Of course, young lady, what are you looking for?”

“Something that can blow a hole in someone as big as my fist, a one hit kill kind of gun,” said Lemon.

The owner looked Lemon up and down as if thinking about the kind of weapon she could use. “Well, guns like that can be pretty big, and powerful. Unless ya got the arm strength, a gun like that will break yer wrist, and the recoil might end up making you smash the barrel into yer nose. And even then ya might not hit a damn thing. What…” The owner raised an eyebrow, “or should I say who are ya plannin’ on shootin’?”

“Does it matter?” Lemon asked.

“It can, are you lookin’ to shoot them from far away or close up? Are they wearin’ body armor or no protection? Are they well trained or some average shmoo? Are a ya lookin’ for this to be messy and loud or quick and silent? There’s a right gun for the right job, so think about it for a second.”

Lemon went quiet for a moment as she considered the merchant’s words. Twilight felt disturbed by how much thought she was putting into this, she reached into her pocket to call Sunset and soon after the police, but then she stopped. By the time they got there, Lemon Zest might be gone, the best thing to do was to wait until Lemon Zest was done with her business and follow her to wherever it she was staying. Then that would be the time to call.

“Well…it’ll be hard to get close to this person…my first attempt worked, but she made it somehow. I need to make sure that there’s nothing anyone can do to bring them back,” said Lemon. “They aren’t trained or nothin’, got no connections to anyone on the streets or in government. It’s just some nerd.”

“Huh…I see.” The owner turned around and perused his assortment of weaponry. “Personally speaking, it might be better to hire someone to kill this person, if they already know that you’re comin’ after this person, even if I give you a rifle, you might not be able to use it properly. In that case a pistol would be better.”

Lemon shook her head and slammed her hand on the counter. “Hell no! I’m not lettin’ anyone take this away from me! I don’t care if I get caught after, so long as she’s dead, then I still win!”

Twilight shook from the amount of venom that was in Lemon Zest’s words, she truly meant to kill her even if it meant losing her own life.

“Alright then, use this.” The owner took out a black gun and put io the counter in front of Lemon. “It’s a Beretta M9, easily concealed, reliable, and good power. Effective range is fifty meters. And I’ll throw in these as well.” The owner reached down below the counter and brought up a couple of empty clips and a couple of boxes of bullets. “These are hollow point bullets, they shatter inside the body, like shrapnel. It’ll tear up the target inside, and even if it isn’t fatal on the first hit, they’ll most likely die due to how much internal damage they cause. But if you really don’t care if you get killed or caught when you get his person, then this’ll do the job for you.”

Lemon Zest picked up the gun and pulled back the slide, a menacing chuckle could be heard coming from her that chilled Twilight. “Oh yeah, this’ll work. When that bitch peeks her head up from whatever hidey hole she’s in, I’ll pump it full of lead!”

“I filed down any identifying marks on it, along with the clips, so it’s untraceable. And if anyone asks were you got it…”

“Don’t worry, I don’t think I’ll live long enough to tell anyone. The person I’m going to kill may not be anyone important, but the person that – ugh – loves them, is dangerous enough to kill me the moment they find out what I did, they’re probably lookin’ for me right now since I failed,” said Lemon.

“Ugh…damn kid, this person must’ve really pissed you off to go this far,” said the owner.

“Eh, she had it coming.” Lemon reached into her backpack again and placed another wad of cash. “For your silence my good man. Pleasure doin’ business with ya.”

The owner smiled gleefully. “No, thank you, young miss.”

Twilight glared at the owner from behind the rack and made a mental note to leave an anonymous tip to the police to have this man put in jail for illegal gun sales. But that was for another day, she needed to pursue her target.

It was a whole hour of walking before Twilight found out where Lemon was staying. It was an abandoned warehouse, one that looked like it was used for raves on numerous occasions, possibly ones that Lemon Zest had gone to in the past. Lemon had slipped under the chain link fence and hopped onto the loading dock, meanwhile, while Lemon had her back turned, Twilight jumped over the fence and landed quietly on the other side, ducking behind a trash bin as she continued to watch Lemon. Twilight thought that this might be a good time to call, now that she knew where Lemon was staying, the police could surround the building and take her.

Twilight took out her cellphone again and readied to call Sunset, but she stopped, her thumb hovering over her girlfriend’s name. No. Twilight put the cellphone back in her pocket. That’s all I do, stand aside and let my brother or Sunset take care of it, putting themselves in danger while I just watch and can do nothing. What were all my tests for if not for this moment? I need to do this myself!

With her mind made up, Twilight ran to the loading dock and jumped up onto it. She stealthily made her way inside and continued into the warehouse. It was definitely used for rave parties, there were tables, chairs, and an assortment of other “entertainment” items strewn about the area. Twilight had only been to one of these, but she assumed that Sunset took her to one that was a little less extreme than this one. Lemon Zest looked like the kind of girl that would attend more hardcore raves, she was known for throwing wild parties.

Twilight enhanced her vision and hearing, allowing her to see in the dark and hear for the slightest sounds. There was the occasional rat milling about in the background, but she managed to pick up on Lemon Zest’s location. Twilight carefully entered deeper into the warehouse, hiding behind a column when she saw Lemon Zest enter a room off towards the west side of the building. The teen genius quietly stopped at the door, standing off to the side and taking a careful peek inside. It was a room that had an assortment of assembled mattresses. Twilight figured this was the room where the party goers could go and have private parties. Lemon Zest took out a can of disinfectant spray and laid down a fine layer over one of the mattresses that wasn’t as gross looking as its neighbors.

Lemon sat on the edge of the mattress, taking out some food she had bought on the way here, along with the newly bought gun. She had seen enough action movies and tutorials online to know how to load the thing, and Twilight was watching the whole time. Lemon filled the extra clips to their capacity with bullets, the owner of the gun shop already had a full magazine in the gun, which Lemon had him show her how to release it and put it back in.

“Can’t wait to use this on Sparkle…” Lemon placed the gun to her head and morbidly said, “…probably a good idea to use this on myself when I’m done. Heh, that’ll be good, take away the satisfaction of letting her kill me.” She then held the gun up in the air, admiring it. “Or…maybe I should kill YOU!”

Twilight hurriedly backed away from the door as Lemon Zest fired six shots that way. Two of them hit the wall while the last four whizzed through the door, Twilight hurriedly ducked behind a column just as Lemon Zest exited the room and held the gun in her right hand and a flashlight in the left, pointing it different directions.

“C’mon out asshole! Probably thought you were going to get lucky tonight! Only one person can touch me, and she’s dead! If you still think you got the balls to try it, then c’mon out so I can shoot your ass!”

Twilight gulped, she had to be brave, she had to be strong. “It’s me, Lemon!” she called out in her regular voice.

Lemon Zest had a dumbfounded look on her face when she heard that voice. “Twilight-fucking-Sparkle! Oh man, I can’t believe this! You tracked me down?! Heh, heh, heh, I take back half the shit I said about you, you have more balls than I gave you credit for.” Lemon couldn’t penpoint Twilight’s voice due to the echo, so she stayed in her spot and scanned the area. “So, can I assume that Sunset or the cops are waiting for me somewhere outside?”

“No!” Twilight answered a little too quickly. “I mean…I…I’m here alone! It’s just you and me!”

Lemon blinked. “Okay, for a genius you are the dumbest motherfucking bitch on the planet. You just followed me, on your own, to what? Kill me back because I killed you?”

“NO! I’m here to take you down! I’m here to take you in to the police, to put you behind bars for trying to kill me, and for everything you helped Indigo do to me!” Twilight stated.

Lemon Zest laughed at the absurdity of it all. “Oh god, you really lost it haven’t you?! What the hell can you do?! You’re a fucking nerd, the definition of a nerd! Unless you manned up and got yourself a gun to shoot me with, then I retract my stupid comment.”

Twilight furrowed her brow, she removed her clothing completely, leaving herself bare. She shivered and blushed in embarrassment from being naked in the dirty warehouse. The green glow overcame her body and transformed her skin into the graphene armor she had created a couple of days ago. Twilight made some improvements to the form, making it less bulky and more streamlined, along with creating a resin like covering over both of her eyes to protect them from getting hit or having something get into them. The resin was purple to match her eye color, now that she was armored up, Twilight was ready, she also turned off her pain receptors to ensure that if she did get harmed it would not slow her down.

With her armor created, Twilight stepped out from behind the pillar and began to walk towards Lemon Zest. The former Crystal Prepper saw a figure move towards her and pointed her gun and flashlight in that direction. A confusion befell Lemon Zest when she saw the armored girl walk towards her, without thinking about too much, she pointed her gun and immediately shot at it. Twilight braced herself for the impact, she had only tested the armor against stabbing and cutting weapons, those tests hadn’t included firearms or their different calibers. However, knowing that the rounds were hollow points, against her armored skin, the likelihood that they would penetrate her armored hide were less than zero. The shot struck against her chest, shattering the bullet to pieces upon her skin.

Twilight looked down at herself and saw that there was a miniscule crack in the armor. It…It worked! Just to be safe, lets increase hardness by ten percent. A glow came over her body, and the armor repaired itself, along with reinforcing itself.

“THE FUCK?!”

Lemon Zest didn’t understand, she saw sparks from where she shot, but Twilight didn’t drop. Without a care, Lemon fired again and again, each round struck against Twilight’s body, but each hit was the same result. The bullet would shatter while Twilight advanced, her fear of getting shot to death was gone, she was essentially a living, walking tank.

“WHAT THE FUCK?!”

“Do you understand now, Lemon? You can’t hurt me anymore,” said Twilight.

“BULLSHIT!!!” Lemon Zest kept firing her gun, but nothing happened, her bullets would continue to shatter on Twilight’s hardened skin. “DAMMIT! DAMMIT!”

Lemon released the empty clip and replaced it with another, she aimed a little higher, hitting Twilight in the head multiple times, but again, she was doing zero damage to her target.

Twilight stopped halfway and crossed her arms in annoyance as she tapped her foot. “Okay, Lemon, this is starting to get annoying. After everything you’ve seen, you know you can’t hurt me. Not anymore.”

“SHUT! UP! I HAVE TO KILL YOU; I NEED YOU TO FUCKING DIE!”

Lemon tossed the gun onto the floor, pulled out the same knife she used to kill Twilight and charged for her. The teen genius didn’t move as she uncrossed her arms and stood still, waiting for Lemon to attack. The enraged teen slashed at Twilight’s stomach, only to create sparks from the dragging of the blade against her graphene armor.

“Seriously, Lemon Zest, please stop! It’s over, just come with me and you’ll go to jail! It’s better than dying!” Twilight argued.

“FUCK YOU! I’m dead either way!”

“What about your parents?! Have you thought about what you’re putting them through?! Do you really think they want their child to die?!”

Lemon Zest stopped her attack and took a step back from Twilight. “Heh…My parents couldn’t give two shits about me. Have you heard either of them, even once, go on the news and ask for me to turn myself in or to come home?”

Twilight opened her mouth to reply but paused, now that she thought about it, she hadn’t heard a thing on the news from Lemon’s parents asking her to turn herself in, nor, from what she could gleam from Shining Armor’s case files, had they even called in to check on their progress.

“Yeah, exactly. They’re all but divorced, my house was mine alone, the only other people who would come in there was the cleaning staff, but otherwise I’m alone!” Lemon laughed. “So long as I don’t get into any major trouble or let my grades fall, I can do pretty much anything I want. Looks like I fucked up on both counts!” Lemon sighed wistfully as she remembered. “There was only one person that gave a damn about me…one person I could count on and always had my back no matter what.” The former Crystal Prep student glared at Twilight. “Then your psycho bitch girlfriend killed her!”

“Indigo was using the Glacier Stone; she was working with a crazy woman from another world who nearly ended the world! If Sunset hadn’t killed Indigo, she could’ve killed a whole lot of people! And that’s not counting what she was going to do to me!” Twilight stated. “I’m sorry that you lost your friend, someone you loved! But she wasn’t a good person!”

Lemon Zest glared daggers at Twilight and shouted, “SHE WAS GOOD TO ME!!!” Lemon thrust the knife at Twilight’s heart, only for the metal to snap in half and fly off in another direction. She stared at the broken weapon for a moment, tossed it away, and then wrapped her hands around Twilight’s throat. She squeezed as hard as she could, but no matter how hard she choked, Twilight was unfazed.

“SHE WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS WORLD WHO I CARED ABOUT, WHO CARED ABOUT ME! I LOVED HER! AND SHE ONLY HAD EYES FOR YOU! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!! I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU!!! WHY WON’T YOU JUST DIE???!!!” Lemon stopped her choking, cocked back her right fist and punched Twilight in the face, only to hear the sickening crunch sound of her knuckles and finger bones breaking upon impact. “MOTHERFUCKER! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!”

Twilight watched as Lemon backed up, holding her right hand as it dripped a bit of blood from the bones that penetrated through her skin. “Lemon, please just stop this!”

A deranged look overcame Lemon’s features, her pained howls soon gave way to manic laughter as she glared at Twilight with an insane look in her eyes. “Oh, I’m not gonna stop, Sparkle! Fuck this, I can’t kill Sunset Shimmer, and now, for whatever god forsaken reason, I can’t kill you either! So, you know what, I’ll just kill someone you care about just as much as your whore of a girlfriend! Maybe I’ll go and kill Sugarcoat! Maybe take my gun and shoot your brother in the back! Rape your whore mother with my gun and blow a few rounds in the cunt that birthed you! Or maybe I’ll do that to Dean Cadence! I kinda always wanted to see what she looked like without her clothes! And having her eat me out while I press a gun to her head will get me off soooo good! All because of you!”

Twilight shook her head. “No…No you can’t do that!”

Lemon kept laughing as she got closer to Twilight, looking her right in the eye as she smiled. “Oh, but I will! I won’t fucking stop, Sparkle! No matter if I’m behind bars, I’ll figure out a way to get out! Magic and demons exist! Who’s to say I can’t make a deal with a demon to get out and do all that to your mom and Dean Cadence?!”

Before all the craziness that entered her life, Twilight would’ve taken such a threat as empty, but now, with everything that has happened, there was a very good possibility that something supernatural might just occur in Canterlot City that would allow someone like Lemon Zest to break free from prison and attack those she loved. The very thought of that scared Twilight, making her heart race as she shook in terror. Her mind visualized everything that Lemon threatened she would do, and each scene was more horrifying than last.

Lemon took a step forward and made Twilight take a step back. “Yeah, you get it don’t you?! That’s what’s going to happen, it might not happen now, maybe tomorrow, a week from now, a month, a year?! Who knows, but the point is that it will happen, and I’ll make it a point to call and remind your asses of that each and every day, I’ll baste your family in fear until the day I break out and come to fuck up your life in the most spectacular way imaginable, Sparkle! I won’t stop until I’ve fucked up your entire life, just like you and Sunset fucked up mine! And I’ll love it, because at the end of the day, you’ll have no one to blame but YOURSELF!!!”

“NOOOOO!!!” Twilight screamed in terror.

Without thinking, Twilight swung her fist and struck Lemon in the gut, sending her flying until she landed five feet from where she stood, hitting the ground with a hard “THUD!” Twilight’s right hand shook, not from pain, but from fear, fear that Lemon Zest’s threats would come to pass. She couldn’t let that happen, not now, not ever.

Twilight quickly walked over to where Lemon was, she was spitting up blood, and some was coming out of her nose. Lemon coughed, trying to form words, Twilight glared at the wild party girl, growling like a beast as she went down on one knee and gripped Lemon Zest’s left arm with her right hand, digging her claws into the pink girl’s flesh.

“You can threaten me all you want! You can beat me, rape me, and whatever demented and sick things your mind can conjure! But don’t you ever, EVER threaten my family!” Twilight declared.

The moment she said those words, Twilight focused on doubling her physical strength. With it, she pulled hard on Lemon’s left arm, tearing muscle and flesh and breaking the bone at the same time as she completely ripped off Lemon’s arm, tossing it like a piece of paper off to the side. Blood sprayed across the floor and Lemon somehow found the strength to scream. Twilight repeated this process with the right arm, tearing it just as easily and tossing it away, doubling the intensity of Lemon’s screams. Her eyes almost rolled into the back of her head, but Twilight slammed Lemon across the face, breaking her jaw upon impact.

“NO! YOU DON’T GET TO CHECK OUT! NOT AFTER EVERYTHING YOU AND INDIGO PUT ME THROUGH! YOU’RE GOING TO STAY AWAKE LONG ENOUGH TO FEEL EVERYTHING!”

Twilight’s body glowed again as her back flared out its black wings, and the intricate lines that formed over both of her arms. Twilight placed both of her hands against Lemon’s head and released her bioelectric energy, sending a powerful current through the de-armed girl, making Lemon Zest release garbled screams as her brain felt as if it was being fried from inside her own skull, the pain from her ripped arms was barely a blip compared to the pain she was feeling all over her body. Her body spasmed about, flailing like a fish that was flopping around on land and gasping for air, her shorts quickly dampened as she lost control over her bowls, and the worst part was she knew it had happened and could do nothing. Twilight removed her hands; she could tell that Lemon was still semi-conscious.

“You said you hated me?! Well guess what…I HATE YOU EVEN MORE!!!”

Twilight raised her right fist and smashed against Lemon’s head, caving her face in and effectively killing her in one blow. But Twilight wasn’t done, she kept on punching with both her fists, over and over again, all the while she continued to shout “I HATE YOU! I HATE INDIGO! I HATE SUNNY FLARE! I HATE SOUR SWEET! I HATE PRINCIPAL CINCH! I HATE CRYSTAL PREP ACADEMY!!!!” Twilight brought both her fists together in a sledgehammer blow, bringing it down upon what remained of Lemon Zest’s skull and completely destroying her skull, creating a bloody mess of brain matter, blood, and bone, along with a three-foot-wide crater from the impact of her blow, and five inches deep.

The teen genius slowly stood up and looked down at the headless remains of the girl once known as Lemon Zest. She then brought up both her clawed hands and fixated on the blood that clung to them. The blood that was from Lemon Zest, from her constant beating of the girl’s head until there was nothing left. With her own two hands, Twilight had ended a life, the life of one of her tormentors. Twilight clenched her hands into fist and screamed into the air, the scream turned into a roar as she changed her vocal cords to something more animalistic to more accurately represent the fury and pain that was inside her, that lasted for a good minute before she took a breath.

Twilight, instead of feeling sad, felt happy. She didn’t feel sad or regret for what she did, she felt happy, with her own two hands she got rid of a threat to herself and her family’s wellbeing. She was practically giddy, forget that she was giddy. “Where’s all that talk now, Lemon? Got nothing to say? Too bad, give my regards to Indigo Zap, you’ll both be happy in hell!”

The teen genius left the body on the floor and went into the room where Lemon left her backpack. She dumped the contents of the bag onto the mattress and saw that there were at least ten wads of cash, all of which were hundreds wrapped with a slip of paper that read “$10,000.” In total there was at least a hundred-thousand dollars, not counting the two stacks that Lemon left, there was also a burner phone and some extra clothes. Twilight left the room for a moment and then returned to the room with her own backpack, she put the stacks of money into her backpack and turned on the burner.

After changing her voice, Twilight called the police and said, “Hello, I’m calling to report that the girl that’s wanted for attempted murder, Lemon Zest, is dead in a warehouse on the corner of Hoofington and Clip St. Don’t bother bringing an ambulance, she’s not going to need it.”

Twilight didn’t hang up, knowing that if she kept it on, they would eventually triangulate the burner’s position, she did give them the address, but she didn’t want Lemon’s body staying here too long. She didn’t want the rats or whatever mentally unstable person there was running around to desecrate what was left of the body. Twilight exited the warehouse and perched on a nearby rooftop until the police arrived, once she saw that they had made entry into the warehouse, she flew off back for Shimmer Manor.

Twilight was in the shower, thankfully she was able to shed off the graphene armor from herself, and without her body to keep it stable, the armor dissolved into dust, along with any blood evidence of her actions. To make sure that there was nothing left, Twilight entered the shower and thoroughly washed her body, she found herself enjoying the warm water a lot more than she used to, as if everything had taken on a whole new sensation after she killed Lemon Zest. What she found a little more exciting and disturbing, was how hot she was…down there. She masturbated a bit in the shower, not to the kill she just did, but to Sunset, because now she felt that she was strong, strong like her girlfriend.

I need her, thought Twilight.

Without wasting a moment, Twilight wrapped a towel around her body and quickly got out. She strode through the hallway and stopped before her girlfriend’s bedroom door. She knocked a couple times before Sunset answered, she rubbed her eyes groggily and looked at Twilight up and down.

“Sparky…? W-What’s up…? Why are you in a towel?” Sunset asked.

“I want you!”

“What?”

Twilight didn’t repeat herself; she simply threw herself at Sunset, hooking her arms around the amber girl’s neck and pushing her way into her room. The teen genius kicked the door closed behind her, just as the wet towel fell to the floor. Twilight pressed her mouth against Sunset’s, kissing her deeply and hungrily as they made their way towards her bed. Before Sunset had a chance to get her bearings, Twilight pushed her onto the bed and got on top of her.

Sunset looked up at the wet, naked body of her girlfriend, her damp hair clinging to her soaked skin as beads of water dripped off her. There was wild look in Twilight’s eyes, a look of desire, of wanting, a look that Sunset hadn’t seen before, but at the same time, was not opposed to seeing. “Sparky, what’s got you so frisky tonight?”

“What, you don’t want to?” Twilight asked coyly.

“Never said I wasn’t in the mood, just glad to see you taking some initiative,” said Sunset.

“I’m just glad I caught you on a night where you’re only wearing a tank top and panties, less things to get rid of.”

Sunset smirked as she quickly pulled off her top and shimmied out of her panties, Twilight grabbed both of Sunset’s wrists and pinned them to the bed, causing Sunset grin with delight. The teen genius attacked Sunset’s neck, giving it a firm bite, Sunset released a squeal of delight from the pain. Twilight was marking her as her mate, it was primal, and Sunset was liking it. The lavender girl’s right hand traveled straight down to Sunset’s pussy and began vigorously fingering her, making Sunset squirm in pleasure beneath her.

“Fuck, Sparky! Ugh!” Sunset groaned in pleasure. Twilight suddenly stopped her fingering, making Sunset look at her girlfriend with a bit of annoyance. “W-What’s up?! You were doing great!”

“Sunset…I discovered something about myself…Something that I wasn’t ready to show you until I was sure…” Twilight raised that same hand and made the bioelectrical lines appear. “I don’t know what’s happened to me…but I’m able to modify my body in different ways, in addition to the healing.”

Sunset’s eyes widened as she propped herself up on her elbows. “Sparky you…How long have you…?”

“For two days now…I’m sorry, I just wanted to make sure that this wasn’t something to worry about. If I couldn’t control it, that would be a different story, but I can, it works on my mental commands. Watch.” Twilight willed the lines to go away, and they did. “I’m not scared, Sunset. It’s amazing, I can change my body in all kinds of different ways.”

Sunset looked to Twilight and nodded. “Okay…I believe you, Sparky.”

Twilight leaned forward and kissed Sunset on the lips again, which Sunset reciprocated. When Twilight ended the kiss she asked, “I want to show you what I can do, will you let me? I promise, the only thing that you’ll feel is pleasure. If you don’t like it, then tell me and I promise I’ll stop.”

Sunset looked a little hesitant, not that Twilight could blame her. She was essentially asking to use her powers on her in a sexual way, their first night together didn’t involve using Sunset’s powers, not that the flames would hurt her so long as Sunset willed it. After a thoughtful minute, Sunset nodded her consent and laid back.

Twilight smiled gratefully and recreated the lines on her arm. “This modification allows me to discharge my bioelectricity, so once I put my finger in…” Two fingers gently penetrated Sunset’s pussy, and a couple of seconds later, Sunset’s back arched as she felt a surge of electricity shock the pleasure sensing nerves in her vagina. “I can release electrical stimuli to the nerves in your vagina that are responsible for sensing pleasure.”

Twilight began thrusting her fingers slowly in and out, at the same time, she released small bursts of electricity that arced inside Sunset’s inner walls and even hit her clit. Sunset writhed under Twilight’s touch; her mouth hung open as her cunt was being stimulated in a manner that she had never tried before. Twilight steadily picked up speed, increasing the electrical bursts in direct proportion to her movements, the teen genius carefully placed her right hand over Sunset’s left breast and began kneading it. She released electrical bursts into her breast, making sure that the currents avoided her lover’s heart.

Sunset’s pussy was spasming and contracting against her will, her breast tingled and radiated a pleasurable feeling through her chest. The flame haired teen released a long cry as she came, hard, spraying Twilight’s hand and the sheets underneath her. However, Twilight didn’t stop, she continued her assault, causing Sunset to go into a second orgasm in less than a minute.

“OH FUCK, SPARKY!!! OH SHIT, OH SHIT, I’M GONNA CUM! I’M GONNA CUM AAAAAAAAAIAAAAAAHHH!!!”

A third orgasm rocked Sunset’s body, making her arch her back even further as she made an incredibly lewd expression. Twilight stopped her stimulation and pulled her hand back, licking her fingers and hand and savoring the taste of Sunset’s love juices.

“Oh…Oh shit…S-Sparky…t-that was…Oh shit…” Sunset stated while she panted.

Sunset was already a sweaty mess, and Twilight wanted to make more of a mess of her girlfriend. Twilight kissed Sunset again, making them move further up on the bed until they were in the middle.

Twilight broke the kiss and said, “I want to claim you, Sunset Shimmer. I want to fuck you like a bitch in heat!”

“H-How?” she asked in an excited tone.

Twilight sat up on her knees, a green glow overcame her crotch, and in a few seconds, Twilight’s genitals were changed from vagina to a penis and balls. “The traditional way.”

Sunset’s eyes practically bulged from her skull as she saw the phallus that had materialized and replaced her lover’s pussy. “Is…Is that real?”

“What do you think?” Twilight asked.

Sunset reached up and touched the cock in front of her, wrapping her left hand around it. It was hot, and hard, pulsing with want and desire. Twilight made a little moaning sounds from Sunset’s touch, indicating that it was in fact attached her. “Holy shit…you became a damn futanari?!”

“There are only two questions I have for you…” Twilight leaned down and whispered into Sunset’s ear, “…Do you want it bigger, and how do you want it?”

Sunset gulped, she wasn’t going to deny shlcking off to some futa porn on the internet, so to have her girlfriend sport this was kind of a sexual fantasy come true. “Nine inches long, five inches thick, and fuck me doggystyle!”

A green glow overcame Twilight’s phallus, making it grow and thicken to Sunset’s specifications. Once she saw that Twilight was done, Sunset got onto her hands and knees and raised her ass to Twilight. The teen genius gulped, licking her lips as her heart pounded in her chest, the excitement of being able to mount her lover, to take her in a biblical way was intoxicating.

Sunset looked over her shoulder, her expression turning serious for a moment. “Uh…this isn’t going to end up getting me pregnant, right?”

Twilight shook her head in the negative. “Of course not! I made sure to sterilize my semen, I’m infertile right now, and I’ll remain like that until after we’re done. I may want to plow you, but I don’t want to get you pregnant, we still have too much to do before…before we get to that stage.”

Sunset saw the cute blush on Twilight’s face, she was already thinking of their relationship in the long-term, and honestly, Sunset didn’t mind that. “Good, so don’t hold back! Pump me full, Sparky!”

Twilight grabbed Sunset’s hips and carefully aligned the tip of her cock head to Sunset’s burning cunt. The mere contact of Sunset’s outer lips almost made Twilight cum right then and there. “Sunset…I apologize in advance…this is quite literally my first time with…with this kind of equipment. I…I might…”

“Hey, I don’t expect you to be an expert in how to use a dick on day one, Sparky. Just go at it, I’ll take whatever you give me,” Sunset assured.

With that assurance given, Twilight carefully aligned herself, and thrust her hips forward.

“SHIT!” Sunset exclaimed as she felt the large rod penetrate her womanhood.

Twilight pushed forward, barely giving Sunset time to adjust as she buried her whole length in Sunset’s honeypot. She could hardly believe it, she was inside Sunset, a part of her was inside Sunset. She had felt Sunset’s pussy around her fingers, and around her tongue, but this was on a whole different level. The heat, the wetness, and tightness, it was all so overwhelming, so intense that she… “Sunset…I’m sorry…! I’m cumming!!!”

Sunset could barely respond before she felt the hot rush of cum flooding into her. The hot, thick load filled her insides, making Sunset release a long moan of pleasure as she felt the hot lava-like liquid fill her deepest parts, that alone made her go into another orgasm, not just because of the cum, but also the knowledge that it was her girlfriend filling her like a balloon.

Twilight slumped forward a bit, resting on Sunset’s back as she panted. Oh my god…no wonder boys are constantly thinking about penetrating our vaginas with these! This feels amazing! “Sunset…Sunset are you alright?”

“God…Sparky…I think I nearly passed out just then…!” Sunset confessed. “I think you’re going to end up fucking me silly before this night’s over…”

“If that’s what you want, I’ll do that for you,” said Twilight.

Using her abilities, Twilight reduced her refractory period, allowing her to recover quickly. Now that she had adjusted to the feeling of being inside Sunset, she could focus on her movements. Thanks to the added lubrication of her cum, Twilight was able to move in and out of Sunset’s cunt with greater ease, smoothly pulling herself in and out of her lover’s pussy with each stroke. Instinct started to take over as Twilight bucked her hips with more speed and force, making Sunset’s body shake with each hilting of her cock.

“Oh fuck…! Oh fuck…! Sparky!!! I’m gonna cum again!” Sunset cried out.

Twilight felt Sunset’s walls tighten as she orgasmed, but Twilight managed to dial down the sensitivity of her penis to allow herself to enjoy the feeling of Sunset’s love canal a little longer before nutting her again. She didn’t let up in a slightest, fucking Sunset right through her orgasm. Twilight leaned forward, pressing her body into Sunset’s as she continued to thrust her hips into Sunset’s rear. Wet slapping sounds filled the room as Sunset’s arm gave out a little and had her bend forward more. A more dominant side of Twilight started to come out as she placed her hand on Sunset’s head, pressing it into the mattress in a commanding fashion.

“I’m…I’m going to fuck you like a whore, Sunset!” Twilight exclaimed with a bright blush.

“Fuck yes! Fuck me like a slut, Sparky! Make me your slut!”

Twilight obliged and hammered into Sunset faster and harder, forcing Sunset’s legs to give out, making Sunset lay sprawled out on the bed. She continued to jackhammer into Sunset with lustful want, gradually dialing up the sensitivity of her penis to get her closer and closer to her second orgasm, and she wanted this one to be a big one.

“Here it comes, Sunset! I’m going to give you a big load like you wanted,” said Twilight.

“Give it to me!” Sunset demanded.

Twilight made the bioelectric lines appear on her arms again, she maneuvered her hands underneath Sunset and placed them at her pelvis. The teen genius sent a strong current into that area, igniting the pleasure sensing nerves just as Twilight cummed hard into Sunset’s wanting pussy. The effect was immediate, Sunset released a loud ecstasy filled scream into the air, her eyes rolling into the back of her head as her tongue lolled out of her mouth. Twilight continued to pump load after load into Sunset’s cunt as it spasmed and squirted, making Sunset’s stomach distend by the second. The constant stream of erotic stimuli was overloading Sunset’s brain, fear, excitement, and pleasure, all of it crashed into her body and mind until Sunset finally passed out.

Twilight released the last bit that she had before finally pulling out of Sunset’s worn pussy. A steady stream of milky white poured out of her lover’s canal and onto the bed, while Twilight could easily recover using her abilities, she decided not to, choosing instead to bask in the afterglow. That, and because it looked like Sunset was not going to be up for another round any time soon. Twilight enhanced her strength and moved Sunset to the head of the bed and laid her down, she then brought the blankets up and covered them both, cuddling against Sunset and affectionately rubbing her swollen belly, feeling a sense of pride to have done this to Sunset.

“Maybe one day, we’ll have a baby for real. But I guess until then, I can get you used to the feeling.”

“SUN! SUN!” the voice of the Pony Sunset cried out. The door slammed open, and Pony Sunset continued, “YOU HAVE TO COME DOWN AND SEE THIS, THE NEWS JUST – Whoa, hello what a smell!”

That awoke Twilight making her set up quickly in Sunset’s bed as she turned her head towards the door. “S-Sunset?!” Twilight looked down at herself and covered her chest.

“Huh-wuh?!” Sun woke up as well, letting the blanket fall from her and expose herself. She turned towards the door and smiled happily. “Heeey, Sis, what’s up?”

“Wow, jeez, the sex smell in here is, like, super strong. Whew, you guys must’ve been going hot and heavy.” Sunset shook her head. “Never mind that, you guys have to come downstairs! They found Lemon Zest!”

“WHAT?! Seriously?!” Sun jumped out of bed, but then paused when she felt a sloshing weight in her stomach. When she looked down, she blushed. “Oh shit…”

Sunset blinked when she saw her little sister’s belly distended like it was. “Uh…Sun…why the hell do you look like you’re two months pregnant?”

Sun glanced to Twilight, and Twilight back to Sun. Without thinking, Twilight blurted out, “SEX TOY!”

“What…?” Sunset asked.

“Yeah! A custom made sex toy!” Sun elaborated. “I had it made in case I ever had a partner I trusted. It’s a strap on that mimics the feel and heat of a real penis, and it comes with a pump that shoots fake cum!” Sun placed her hands on her hips and shot Twilight a look. “Someone got a little liberal with the pump last night.”

Twilight blushed, knowing that that was a little barb at her for the amount of semen she released into her. “To be fair…you did say ‘Fill me up, Sparky!’, your words.”

Sunset blinked and then smirked. “Hot damn, Twi, that’s cool. Hey, mind if I borrow that, I may want to try it the next time I have Pinkie over?”

Sun tsked at her big sister and said, “Sorry, Sis, that’s exclusive to Sparky and me.”

“Oh c’mon! I’ll even let you watch me rail Pinkie with it! Hell, I’ll let you record it, and you guys can play it when you two do it!” Sunset bargained.

“Nope, Pinkie may be thick and cute, but I like my cuter, adorkable girlfriend more, so, no dice.”

Sunset stuck her tongue out at Sun. “Get some clothes on and spray some air freshener in here before Twi’s parents see you two, and hurry!”

Once Sunset closed the door, Twilight glanced back at Sunset and said, “Sorry…”

Sun rubbed her belly and smiled at Twilight. “For what? Rocking my world last night? That was the hottest sex I’ve ever had in my life! Oh, babe, could you hand me my Ember Stone?”

Twilight turned towards the nightstand, grabbed the Artifact, and then handed it to Sunset. Upon putting it on the flames of the Ember Stone washed over Sunset’s body, restoring her body to its original state and healing any possible soreness or pain that Sunset was feeling.

“That’s better, what about you, Sparky?” Sunset asked.

Twilight got out of bed, her equipment from last night was gone, and after a short glow, any fatigue was gone. “I’m good, I’ll got to my room and get some pajamas on.”

A couple of minutes later and both girls were downstairs in the living room, the Pony Sunset, along with Twilight’s parents, were sitting there, watching the latest news report on the TV that read, “Attempted Murder Suspect Found Dead”.

{Last night, attempted murder suspect, Lemon Zest, was found murdered in a warehouse here in Canterlot City. We haven’t been given many details due to how graphic the scene is, but it has been confirmed that the victim in this case is Lemon Zest. As you know, the eighteen-year-old female was wanted by police for the attempted murder of one of her schoolmates at Crystal Prep Academy. She was on the run for about two days until today.}

“My god…” Velvet gasped.

“…She tries to hurt my little girl, only to meet her end in a dirty warehouse, good riddance,” said Night Light.

“Night!” Velvet admonished. “I hold nothing but contempt for that girl for trying to hurt Twilight, but she’s still someone’s daughter.”

“And she tried to kill ours and met her end as such. She did this to herself.” Night Light wasn’t about to budge on this. He knew his wife was right, but right now he was in protective papa mode.

Velvet got up and walked over, hugging her daughter close, she then pulled away a little bit and said, “Twily, you don’t have to go back to that place if you don’t want to. After all this, your father and I wouldn’t blame you for doing so. Perhaps we could enroll you in Sunset’s school, Canterlot High was it?”

Sunset crossed her arms and nodded in agreement with Mrs. Velvet. “It wouldn’t be any trouble; I could ask Mom.”

Twilight shook her head. “If I just give up now, then I let Principal Cinch win, I let them all win. I won’t let this break me. So, please, let me go back to Crystal Prep.”

There were a lot of hesitant looks, even from Sun. But it seemed that Velvet and Night Light would relent to their daughter’s decision, she was an adult now and so her decisions needed to be respected. However, not a one realized the real reason why Twilight wanted to go back. For years she had suffered at CPA, for years she had taken their abuse and wounding words, but now Abacus Cinch was on the edge with the investigation, and with Lemon dead, the Friendship Games were in jeopardy, and so was Crystal Prep’s reputation.

Crystal Prep is supposed to be a place of higher learning, but it’s nothing more than a place where the wealthy and influential can send their children to learn how to be worse human beings. Everyone in that school needs to be punished. Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare, and most important of all, Principal Abacus Cinch. I’m not weak anymore, I’m stronger than all of them, and I’ll show them what happens when you push a kind person into a corner and give no quarter.
