“I...I don't want to cease to exist,” whined the demonic aspect of Sunset Shimmer, tears in her eerie eyes.

“Neither do I,” admitted the angelic Sunset, like her dark counterpart still wrapped nude around their host.

Sunset offered them both a sympathetic smile. “You don't have to,” she assured and stroked their hair. “You're both aspects of who I am. I understand that now. And without you, I'd never feel complete. You'll live on, inside me.” She planted an affectionate kiss on their lips, warmth filling her as the duo floated into her form, becoming one with it.

She stretched wide and yawned, her inner demons conquered...thanks to Spike's intervention. The haphazard smorgasbord of stitched together dreams had started to settle down, and she shared a grin with the drake, who still clasped the slumbering Luna in his powerful grasp. Sleepily she crawled over to him and placed her head on his strong, heated chest with a sigh.

I guess time doesn't pass here, does it? We'd better return soon, though. I want Celestia to see how far her champion has come.

Discord, who still had himself buried deep in Fluttershy's and Tree Hugger's lower holes as they sleepily made out, said, “Not to worry! I'll send you all back, when you're ready.” He casually ran multiple hands, paws, and claws over their supple flesh, unwilling to let his fun end so soon. “Promise me you two will pay me a visit sometime for more fun?”

“We'd like a few more rounds with Spike,” admitted Shy who half-lidded her eyes.

“You said it babe,” replied Hugs between their sloppy kisses. “Poor Discord can't always keep up with us, you know?”

Discord furrowed his brow, a little miffed, and swatted her hard on the rump which made her yelp. “Yes, well, there's that, too.”

“Count on us,” said Spike who couldn't deny how much he'd enjoyed their company. His gaze wandered over everyone here, from the inhabitants of Salem to Gunsmoke, and recalled his numerous adventures with fondness.

Another look at Rarity and the rest of his lovers reminded him of what waited back at home. Their bellies were still swollen, a reminder that he was a father now, and would need to settle down and take responsibility. Especially since he was situated to become the new Dragon Lord, as if what Ember told him was true he was tired and secretly wished to retire.

After Spike, Sunset, and Luna awakened, they found themselves in a spacious bed. They were tended to by Celestia and Cadance, who were already naked, and slipped atop the silky sheets with them. “What-” began Sunset.

“Shhh,” murmured Celestia who pressed a finger to her lips. “Just let it happen.” She snuggled up to her, impossibly warm and soft and scented by the sweetest perfumes. “You've both made me so proud.”

“The evil's been contained in the palace,” assured Cadance who sat her heart-shaped bare bottom next to Spike's snout. “We can finally relax. And we think you deserve a little reward, if Luna doesn't mind...?”

“After all you've done for us, it's the least we can do.” Luna sat up and traced his scaly musculature. His tail flicked in anticipation. “I see you're also excited by the idea. I suppose we'll all have to share you.”

“Sisters should share,” whispered Celestia into her ear. They traced his pouch, teased out his twin erections, and settled themselves down onto him. Gradually he spread them open, let them acclimate themselves to his spears.

Not to be outdone, Cadance sat on his face, his maw buried between her soft cheeks as it sunk into her womanhood. His elongated tongue wiggled into her moist depths, teased circles around her cervix, then slipped past it directly into her slimy womb. She cooed and he traced her contracting walls, his claws digging into her squishy buttocks.

Sunset sat in front of her, straddled his muscular chest, which was soon wet by her need. She pressed her lips to Cadance's, felt Celestia's fingers slip into her pink twat, unwilling to let Shimmer be left unattended to. They held and caressed each other, and Spike messily ate out Cadance's pussy, who clenched around him and drenched him in spatters of her love nectar.

From behind Luna played with her sister's massive tits, unable to deny a little envy, her impressive bust still no match for Celestia's. Slowly the two started to move atop him, and were rewarded as his spaded tail reached up to stroke them.

They lost themselves in pure bliss. He growled into Cadance's core, who clenched down hard and came directly down his throat. Greedily he drank down her rapid fire squirts, felt it dribble over his snout and chin, and pumped his own massive, virile loads into the lovers who cheerily rode his cocks. Their bellies swelled, and they squealed and came too, overloaded.

“Oh fuck,” cried Sunset, finger-blasted by a bunch of Celestia';s fingers while Tia used her free hand to traced circles around her hot pink asshole before she shoved it in. She clamped down, clenched her teeth, and creamed all over Tia's hand.

Over the next hours, they altered positions many times, Spike always buried in two of them at once while he tended to the others with his tongue, claws, tail, and wings, whatever it took to make certain they were pleased. His snout wrapped around the tits presented before him, nipped and pulled on them, made his ears twitch at the musical mewls that met his caresses.

Cadance stroked his tail and sunk its spade into her slit. “I need you inside me,” she huskily wheezed. At the moment he was otherwise preoccupied by Celestia and Sunset, the latter stacked atop her mentor, while he made out with and fondled Luna.

Lost in a sea of soft, warm flesh, the aromas of musk and perfume, he pumped them full. Afterward he collapsed, surrounded by their sweaty bodies, stomachs fully rounded and sloshing with his virile seed, their messy, stringy hair matted around them.

His claws and tail continued to knead their thighs, breasts, and buttocks while they cooed and cuddled with him and each other. He wished they would all return home with him, but knew Cadance had a land and husband she must return to, and that Celestia and Luna had their own duties to look after, as someone had to watch the world from the shadows.

“Thank you Spike,” said Sunset who planted a peck on his cheek and rubbed his chest.

“The pleasure's mine,” he admitted with a grin and rubbed her stretched out stomach, which he had no doubt would soon swell with their own spawn for real. He couldn't wait to take her home and introduce her to the rest of the girls.

His eyes fell on the Fire Ruby perched on a stand nearby. It radiated with the passion between them. Whatever anger he'd felt towards the air pirates who'd stolen it had long cooled, helped by the fact that Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo had come with him. Caelano was scheduled to be released from prison soon do to good behavior, however it would take quite a while longer in Lightning Dust's case, both because she had directly endangered and threatened others, plus remained uncooperative.

I'll see if the former residents of Gunsmoke want to pay it a visit after I'm back. They'll probably like that.

Why not stop by Salem on the way? Sure, I don't like the town much, but it would be nice to see the coven, too. Who knows? Maybe I can convince Twilight or Trixie to join us, now that things have finally settled down?

“Welcome home, Spike.” Rarity was the first to embrace him, the Fire Ruby warm between them. She stood naked in the Badlands with a number of his lovers. “Oh, and I see you've brought company. My name is Rarity.”

“Sunset Shimmer. He's told me a lot about you,” she answered with a smile as they embraced, too, aware that as his lovers they were like a sisterhood now, and must endeavor to create harmony between them, whatever their differences. Thankfully the contest between Rarity and Ember had broken down barriers and helped the newcomers better settle in.

“Good things I trust?” Sunset answered Rarity with a nod. The reddish sky reflected off their bare skin, and Rarity took the lead back into an expansive cave Cherry Jubilee had turned into Spike's personal treasure trove, where Rarity placed the Fire Ruby back where it belonged to overlooked a vast sea of collected riches that glittered below its brilliant scarlet sheen.

Ember strolled up to meet him. “Father's wanted to step down from his position as Dragon Lord for some time, but he couldn't find a worthy heir. I could take the role, but dragons value strength and treasures far more than wit, I'm afraid. And well, you've accumulated quite a 'horde' here.” She waved her tail at his harem of lovers. “What I mean to say is, I think you're ready.”

Spike swallowed hard. “Are you sure? I'm still so young and its a lot of responsibility-”

“You'll be fine,” replied Smolder who pressed a claw over his mouth. “We'll be there to back you up!”

“That's true.” He could depend on them all. His lovers were strong, smart, brave, and beautiful, each in their own unique ways. Jewels he'd discovered across the world. He was thankful any tensions between them appeared to be resolved. He couldn't bear the idea that they disliked each other, that he might have to take sides and choose between them.

“We'll meet with Torch tomorrow. Just rest for now,” said Ember.

Nodding, his tail drew Rarity to him, and she happily squealed as his palm traced a smooth buttock. She'd always be special to him, the first who'd looked on him as something more than a monster, or just a runt of a dragon. She'd quickly seen the beauty in him, and realized there was far more to her than what her primitive village had conditioned her to believe.

Carrying her away to a private portion of the cave, he made love to her, less out of lust but more because he simply missed her company. He wanted to communicate his love to her, but had never been skilled with words and so chose intimacy instead. She flushed and traced his muscular chest as he slowly moved in-and-out of her, their eyes locked while he strained.

“S-Sweetie,” huffed Rarity who rested below him, her limbs wrapped around the drake as she turned her head to one side. “Don't hide. Join us.” Her little sister, who peeked around a corner, wandered over to their side.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt!” Sweetie tittered as his tongue lashed one of her tits which wobbled back into place. He sunk his tail into her, felt her leak down it, and started to thrust in-and-out of the second lover he'd taken.

Spike said, “Looks like I'll become the Dragon Lord soon. That means I'll have a lot more influence. And now that Discord, Celestia, Luna, and Cadance back me, maybe I can rescue your parents?” Torch feared it could result in an all-out war between humans and dragons that would devastate them both, but with his new allies it shouldn't be hard to slip in undetected.

“You would do that for us? Thank you,” murmured Rarity whose eyes filled with tears.

“M-me too,” added Sweetie who more openly wept.

“I'd do anything for my girls,” he swore and stroked their cheeks. Determined to help set the world right wherever he could as the new Dragon Lord, he hoped that Calaeno, Gilda, and perhaps even Lightning Dust might eventually be convinced to join them, too. After all, he would need to continually expand his harem in order to further expand his power and influence.

Plus there were plenty of places he'd yet to explore, and while he would have to partially settle down to keep the peace here and raise his spawn, Ember could stand in as Dragon Lord for a time whenever he decided to venture out and expand his 'horde'.

I wonder what else awaits me? Guess I'll just have to head out and see! Oh, but I'd better not get ahead of myself. Torch still needs to step down, so maybe I'll have a bit more freedom for a little while longer still?

What matters is that I'll have my girls with me. I couldn't have come this far without them.

Curled up with Rarity and Sweetie Belle cuddled up to him, the drake settled into a contented sleep. Luna filled his dreams with visions of a potential future, where he benevolently helped rule the world as Dragon Lord, surrounded by dozens upon dozens of lovers that were heavy with his spawn.

A smile crossed his snout, satisfied that it would all be okay.

Author's Note

Thank you to everyone who read this series! Here's a few ideas I ultimately didn't implement:

-Fluttershy and Tree Hugger are left by the ocean to be sacrificed to the Smooze, only to be rescued by Spike but disappointed since they come to like the freaky creature. Decided against it since it might be too weird for this series, what with tentacle sex!

-Spike teams up with Daring Do who runs afoul of a cannibal tribe. Cut because it was too dark for a mostly fun series.

-Spike is seduced by the Dazzlings who are mermaids here, but eventually escapes.
