My Life on a Cassette Tape
Side B - Chapter 8: Revelations in the Dark
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI looked at her, my mind racing, trying to understand the words that had just left her mouth. It struck me now that I had left her behind. She wasn't one of my mares, and she wasn't an Element, and I had left her. And now... now she was their slave. I lay limply on the living room floor with Raven while Starlight lounged on a nearby couch, Applejack eating her out dutifully.
"Oh yeah, that's good, AJ." She moaned, pressing the farm pony deeper between her legs. Turning to us, she smiled, nodding to Applejack, and then Twilight, who seemed herself for the moment, beyond simply not reacting to this like would be expected. "You'll be like them soon... you'll all get to be my slaves... for now... enjoy the show!" She cried, Applejack hitting a sweet spot for her. Panting, she looked around, her eyes lighting upon Twilight, a devious smile etching itself across her face. "Twilight... Twilight go blank for me!" I watched as once again, Twilight lost all expression and stood there blankly. "Repeat what I taught you, let them hear it!" She cried in pleasure as AJ continued her work. Turning to us, Twilight droned out her lessons.
"I am a slave. I am a bitch. I am a whore. I am holes on legs. I am easy. I am wet. I live to serve. I am a fuckdoll. I am-"
"Oh, that's good, Twilight! Oh, Twilight, bring back yourself and have her give me a striptease! Oh I need you!" Starlight panted, overcome with her lust. Twilight blinked a few times, looking over to Starlight, a coy look in her face as she strut over, performing a tease in her own nerdy way.
How was I going to get out? I needed to escape, to warn the others before they got here. If Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity returned from their work to this, we'd all shortly find ourselves handed over, and then we would be goners. I needed to act, and fast. Seeing her distracted, I could only assume that the time wasn't going to be any better. I slowly moved myself over to the fallen purse, my eyes set on Starlight the entire time as I moved slowly over bit by bit.
Twilight finally removed her bra, throwing it to the thoroughly enthralled Starlight, who was too caught up in Applejack's activities between the unicorn's legs to make her appreciation known. Twilight turned about, spreading her legs, and I froze, knowing that she was still stripping, but fearing my position now more than ever, a few seconds away from the purse. She lowered her panties ever so slowly, and Starlight obviously appreciated every tantalizing second that drug its way towards the final removal of the article of clothing. Slipping it off, Twilight turned back to face Starlight, twirling her panties on a finger, the other hand akimbo.
I made the last few movements to the purse, no less caution in each movement as I closed the gap, not even looking towards it as I fell to my side, giving my hands access to the bag. I watched with bated breath, my hands finding the recorder with ease as Twilight let the panties fly away as Starlight pushed Applejack away. My fingers traced over the buttons, feeling each groove, lighting upon the circle indentation, I pressed down.
Suddenly the door was thrown open, and looking, I saw Silver and Gunther entering. Silver smirked at my naked form, giving me a swift kick in the gut before pressing on, his griffon compatriot stopping only to give me a glare.
"Master Gunther!" Starlight squealed in delight as she rushed up to him, bowling Twilight over with her sudden movement. "You got my message!"
"Of course I did, Starbitch." Gunther replied, looking over the scene of depravity as he set down a hefty case beside him. "Neither of these are a stallion, young or no. Were you wrong about the gender, Silver?"
"No, neither of these are the right one. And I wasn't confused, the colt had his dick on full display at the party; as I said, our kind of party." Silver shot back. "You said you had him, Starbitch, where's the pony?"
"He's in the other room, Mr. Silver." Starlight... or now I supposed Starbitch, told him, clapping her hands twice. At that, the door to said room opened, and I watched as Berry in my body walked out, head bowed, completely naked for all to see. My body bowed, prostrating lowly before the two of them.
"I am your slave." I heard my voice say, causing my heart to beat more violently. I needed to do something, but I couldn't risk the plan that I already had in place. But now, after the swift kick to the gut, beyond being out of breath, the bag with the recorder was a few paces away from my back. A teleportation wouldn't work quite as easily, especially since Starlight seemed to have her under some spell, and I wasn't sure how much I could really do against it - not to mention what had been done to Starlight.
"What is this?" Silver asked, turning to Starlight with a questioning glance.
"I used the Fiducia Compelus spell, as well as a few others, to make them your slaves!" Starbitch clapped happily. Silver actually seemed impressed.
"You're good with spells then?" He asked, looking over his compatriot's slave.
"Yes, Princess Twilight once said that I was likely as powerful, if not more so, than she was as a unicorn! I also basically worked her to a standstill as an alicorn!" Starlight chirped happily, likely knowing her newly found value would make her that much more desirable.
Even as they talked, I racked my brain for a plan, something that would work to our sole benefit, and their sole loss. I could just have us all teleported away and the spell taken from the affected ponies. I might even be able to just straight up say to have the cassette player sent over with us. But now that I saw Starlight, saw what state they had taken her to, I knew I had to do something to help her out of it. I knew this was my fault, I had only asked for the Elements and my mares, and she was neither, and so had left her in my panic to get as many ponies out of the party as quickly as I could. I had remembered to have our clothes teleported out, and I hadn't even thought to teleport the ponies out. I was an idiot, and I had to fix my idiotic actions. But how? What if the magic they had worked on Starlight was beyond the recorder? What would I do if it rebelled and didn't allow me to help her?
"... take it off." I heard, catching the last part of what Silver said. Looking back to them, I saw Starlight nod as she turned to my body and released a spark of magic, causing Berry to shudder on the floor, before shooting up to his... their feet.
"You!" Berry growled in my voice, before taking a step back, her eyes flashing between Silver, Gunther, and finally the nude Starlight. "What did you do to her?"
"Not much, I just... altered her perspective." Gunther said nonchalantly, adjusting his broach. Suddenly, Berry twisted and fell to the floor as I watched what was essentially my dick twitch and spray cum across the floor. The griffon was doing something, but I didn't know what. It had happened to basically everypony but me at the market, and it had gained much the same reaction.
"I thought you were spent." Silver spat at Gunther.
"I've since rested. I don't have many more uses back, but I have enough." The griffon commented, leaning down to Berry, patting her head. "You see? We aren't bad. Would bad griffons make you feel this good?" Berry looked up at his, shock and concern in her gaze, as well as, I noted, a glimmer of lust.
I needed to act, and quickly, but I couldn't be reckless. Craning my neck, I saw the purse, a tad bit of it under the couch already. I scooted as silently as I could, trying to gain as little of anyone's attention, especially the new wild card of a griffon. A plan was bubbling up in my mind, I just needed time.
"Get away from me and my mares!" Berry said, pushing herself back to her shaky feet, pressing against the wall for support.
"I get it, trust me," Silver began, holding his hands out in a placating gesture, "you've stumbled upon an artifact and are feeling a tad territorial about the power you've recently gained, but I'm not here to strip you of it." I reached the couch and the purse, and began to work the cassette player out from its spot.
"Then why are you here?!" Berry shouted before cringing, falling to her knees as yet again cum splattered across the floor. The griffon chuckled at this display.
"We too have artifacts, as you no doubt have noticed." He said, standing back up to his full height. "And that being the case, when we found out you too had one, well, we just felt it wise to introduce ourselves. But... you see," Berry groaned, another orgasm taking her, more cum splattering across the floor in thin streams of off white, "you've been less than hospitable, and have kept on running from us when we just wanted to say hello and make you feel good."
"S-stop th-that..." Berry breathed, unsteady from the multiple, unexpected ejaculations. Gunther tsked like a disappointed foalsitter.
"Don't you like how it feels?" He asked like he was asking a foal, even as Berry screamed, bucking their form as the dick spasmed again, cumming again, leaving her panting. "Maybe if I show you a few more times you'll change your mind." The griffon said in a menacing tone. Berry widened her eyes in fear before they slammed shut as pleasure overwhelmed her once more, cum splattering over the floor once more.
Finally pushing the recorder under the couch, I prepared to enact my plan, when Silver turned to look over me, my fear running high. He walked over, grabbed my mane, and hoisted me up, grabbing the purse out from behind me, letting me drop unceremoniously at his feet. He then picked Berry's phone out from the bag, tossing the rest to the side.
"Nine eight four one two... I wonder who you were going to call..." We muttered. I realized I must have bumped it while digging the recorder out. "Maybe you missed the emergency numbers, a shame." He tossed the phone over his shoulder, and I watched as it hit the ground hard, the screen cracking as it did. Berry really needed a phone case. "I would've loved to have your local guard ponies to play with. For now..." He stooped to my level, grasping me by the throat, hefting me up to my feet before letting me go, dusting me off with a smirk. "You are my slave, aren't you?" I blinked, and nodded slowly, knowing I desperately needed to act my part.
"Good good; I can't wait for all the other ponies to get back, because..." He then grasped my cheeks, somehow missing the microphone with his fingers as he pulled me within a breath of a kiss, "All of his slaves he's gained with whichever artifact he has... are basically already my slaves." I couldn't help my eyes widening as I felt the world shifting. He had spoken directly into the mic on accident. I hadn't turned off the recording. He threw me back and turned away, and I watched as Berry, in my form, suddenly changed how she looked at Silver; Twilight, still naked, gained a new admiring look for him; and how AJ... well she didn't change, still in a mindless state from Starlight's spell. It was over. It was over, and I was beyond mad.
Gritting my teeth, I hissed into the mic, "My restraints fell off." I didn't even wait, my hands moving as the knots died away, grabbing the rope that had bound me. I darted forward, and wrapped the rope around Silver's throat. I watched as Gunther turned to the commotion, but I wouldn't give him a chance. "Silver and I teleported to an empty field with the recorder!" In a flash, we were gone.
Landing in the field, the chill night air hit my bare skin as I pulled the rope all the more taught. Silver sent an elbow into my gut, but I tightened my rope around his neck. He then switched tactics, his throat more than likely feeling quite crushed. He grabbed at the rope, frantically trying to rend it from him. Even as his strength waned, I suddenly was hit from behind, falling to the ground in a tumble. Looking up, I saw Twilight in her nude alicorn beauty, wings spread, her horn crackling.
"Twilight fell asleep for the rest of the night." I said simply, watching as she fell to the ground, unconscious as I turned to Silver, rope still in my hand. Silver looked between the fallen Twilight and myself, probably frantically trying to put the pieces together. I marched over to the fallen unicorn, who hit me with a blast of magic, which was more of a wave of telekinetic power than anything. Keeping to my feet with great effort, I continued to march forward. "For the night, I transformed into an alicorn." I hissed, feeling the changes take hold as my new appendages appeared along with the instincts on how to use them. "I knew combat spells as long as I was an alicorn."
The knowledge shoved itself inside my head, a sharp pain as if someone had punched me striking as it did. With gritted teeth and tears growing in my eyes, I pushed past it, charging up a bolt of pure arcane energy as I stood over him. Fear grew in his eyes, as if he knew something was up.
"You are my slave, right?" He stammered, gripping at his shirt. "You couldn't hurt me, could you?" I grabbed him by the throat, my spell gathering all the more strength. "How are you invulnerable?" I smirked devilishly as he squirmed.
"That's a question I can answer," I said mockingly, "if you give me your artifact." I grabbed his shirt and tore it away from him. There, under his shirt was an amulet. He stared at me in shock as I grabbed it. "I'll take this."
"NO!" He screamed, scratching at my arm. Moving the chain away from his neck, I held it aloft. I looked it over, eyeing every inch for signs of how it worked, I needed to know. Perhaps it could resolve my mistake. Looking back to him, I saw him scratching something down on a notepad. My eyes widened as I realized the deception. My bolt of energy that I had saved up shot down, striking his hand. With a yowl of pain, the booklet fell from his hand as I caught it up in my magic, bringing it up for inspection.
Across the page was written various lines in shorthand, one line fading away - the line he had been working on furiously. I cursed my inability to read it as I stared down at him. I levitated it behind me as I stared down at him, my anger still flowing freely. I stopped my foot down on him, crouching low, pressing harder as I came a tad more than an arms length from him.
"That stallion?" I hissed to him. "That's my body, but I'm not in it." I said sharply, causing his eyes to grow wide.
"H-how... how did you not have the spell falter? D-did... Is this the power of the artifact you've found?!" He seemed genuinely terrified, and I felt only the barest amount of sympathy for him as I towered over him.
"The floor suddenly fell out from under him, allowing him to fall freely." I said, almost in reply, watching as the soil fell in on itself, and he scrambled to grab something, but failed, falling down the newly made hole. I folded my wings in, allowing myself to fall with him. He screamed as he fell, and I fell beside him, watching his terror. With a smug smile, I looped the talisman around his neck tightly, causing him all the more terror, though I only made it tight enough to press at his neck. I looked down, and saw the bottom, so far down we would hit it with such speed, I had no doubt death wouldn't keep either of us waiting.
I grabbed him by the throat, he stared at me in horror, grabbing at my forearm, even as I didn't apply more than the barest amount of pressure. I spread my wings and began to slow our decent, before finally, with a burst of arcane power, shot out of the hole far faster than we had entered it. Setting down, I threw the trembling stallion to the floor, I looked him over with disdain, but my hatred had been replaced by a measure of pity. I couldn't kill him, despite wanting to. He deserved to die, but I couldn't be the one to meet out that judgement. My judgement was also flawed, and I couldn't even say he really did deserve to die.
"Who are you? I mean really." I said, my voice calm. He stared up at me, fear still in his eyes, maybe more now than before. "The hole in the earth filled itself in, as if nothing had even happened." And as I spoke, the earth seemed to surge upward, filling the hole that he might've jumped down, for as much good as it would do him. "Tell me." I repeated.
He opened his mouth as if to answer, before he suddenly darted forward with unexpected speed, grabbing the notebook from my magic before I could react. I turned, reaching out with my magic with ease as if I had had it since birth. Smacking him to the side, I snatched the book away, watching the incomplete line fade away. Turning to face him, he looked up at me with the frantic fear of one who was about to die.
"Give it back!" He shouted, as though a foal dealing with bullies, this time charging me and going for a tackle. I stood there, unaffected by his tackling, my new alicorn form seeming strengthened in every way. "Please!" He said with frantic need, though I wan't sure if he was talking to me. He then looked up to me, backing away, a sudden acceptance in his eyes. He seemed stoic, almost fearfully so. "The Empire always takes its dues." He said simply. "Expect a collector soon." Suddenly, the talisman on his neck seemed to catch alight with a white, arcane flame. "Silver Tongue." He said solemnly as I watched in shock as his form started to catch alight bit by bit. "You asked me who I was... it won't matter for long. The Emperor has seen to that."
"Who is the Emperor?" I cried, taking a step nearer, only to back off as the arcane fire swirled around him, slowly burning him to ashes before my eyes.
"He's the one you've robbed, and soon he'll come for you." Silver said, even as he fell to a knee, one leg mostly burnt away, though he didn't respond to it. "Look forward to it." He smiled, before falling forward, disintegrating as he fell. I watched the flame suddenly die out, and looking to the notepad, I noticed was unchanged, despite its owner's fate. Who was this Emperor?
