In a normal world, Jaxon would have been shocked at best, and pissed at worst for being taken from Earth to another world or dimension. However, ever since he married Aqua, normal became less common, thus making his situation with his wife much more tolerable. After waking up from unconsciousness, they looked around and saw that they had ended up at the edge of a dark and foreboding forest. With no words needing to be said, they left, found a road, and began to travel down it. Or, at least Aqua did with Jaxon in her arms.

The jump between dimensions affected the couple in different ways, mostly because of what and who they are. Aqua drinking the Hist Sap caused the hair on top of her head to fall off and regrow as Loquat Yellow feathers...and not much else, as her Kappa Dragon biology filters everything she eats and drinks to the point that the only ‘waste’ she makes is pure, clean water and various poisons and medicines either don’t work or are weaker for her. Jaxon placing the bracers on, however, affected him more. Being human, he had no real resistance to magic, so he ended up weaker after crossing over.

A few minutes of walking in silence seemed to increase Aqua’s worry for her husband. She gently gave him a shake and asked, “Honey, are you okay?”

Jaxon weakly looked up into his wife’s eyes and gave her a thankful smile. “Aside from feeling like I’ve been without sleep for a while, but just can’t sleep; I’m okay.” Aqua smiled at him and gave him a kiss, transferring a mouthful of her water into him to keep him hydrated as they walked.

Just as they pulled away from each other’s lips, Aqua suddenly tripped over and breaking a fence she didn’t notice. Thankfully, she kept her balance and didn’t drop Jaxon. She looked at the broken fence, then gently leaned him against a nearby tree as she began careful attempts to fix the fence.

“Hey!” A voice from within the trees yelled out, briefly scaring Aqua into breaking the fence a bit further. She turned around and saw an orange pony galloping into view before standing up on her back legs like a human. The pony was dressed in a flannel shirt, denim shorts, and a stetson hat. Strapped to her back was a warhammer, which she promptly drew and aimed at Aqua.

“Umm...Hi?” Aqua said with an awkward smile and wave.

“Don’t ‘Umm, hi’ me, missy!” The semi-anthro pony yelled, causing Aqua to withdraw backward, tripping herself over some of the wood that made up the former fence. “Now, what’s with the broken fence?! You break through it to try to steal some of my livelihood!? My family’s prized apples!?” With each sentence, she pulled the hammer back, ready to slam it down at a moment’s notice.

Before she could continue her angry interrogation, an arrow struck the hammer’s head, scaring the pony into dropping the weapon and look to where the arrow came from. There, she saw Jaxon weakly standing while struggling to keep his bow steady as he had another arrow ready to shoot. After a tense few seconds, he replaced his arrow and bow to his quiver and back before almost falling over. Aqua was quick to catch him and keep him balanced as he talked to the pony.

“Easy there. The fence was an accident. We just had a bad trip to this dimension, and I came out weaker for some reason,” he said to the pony. “I’m just glad it didn’t affect my wife as much, since she carried me at least this far.”

“And how does that lead to the fence getting broken?” The pony asked, impatience showing in her voice.

“She’s a bit of a klutz and a ditz,” Jaxon answered. “And I’m saying that to say that those are a part of her and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Aqua’s worry was dropped when he said that. She ‘squeed’ and glomped him in a hug, lifting him off his feet and just enjoying the moment.

‘Ahem’

Until the pony decided to ruin the moment.

“Well, you have conviction in your voice, which means you’re at least being honest,” the pony said as she picked her weapon up off the ground and placed it back on her back. “Sorry about the shouting and the hammer. We’ve had a small bandit problem recently, and I don’t tolerate thieves.”

Aqua’s eyes perked up at her words and dropped Jaxon to do a little giddy, victory dance. “Did you hear that!? She’s got a quest for us!” She was about to glomp the pony in a hug, but a quick and hard slap to her butt from Jaxon and she overshot her jump in fright, missing the pony entirely.

“Easy there, my Beautiful Bubbly Bottle Butt,” he said as he sat up from his fallen position, gently admonishing his wife with his words alone. “This isn’t a video game. If we want to take care of bandits someone, it’s best if we discuss with said someone about compensation.” He turned to the pony and asked, “What’s the local currency; and how much does an inn room cost?

The pony put a hoof to her chin in brief thought. “We use bits, gold coins, like this.” She pulled out a golden coin that looked barely bigger around than an outdated 50¢ coin. “And it costs ten bits to pay for a room at an inn...assuming there’s one available.”

“Why wouldn’t a room be available?” Aqua asked as she stood up and brushed the dirt off of herself.

“The Summer Sun Celebration is tomorrow,” the pony explained. “We’ve had ponies coming in from all over Equestria.”

“Hmm...you okay with paying us 100 bits?” Jaxon asked. “It’ll mostly be for paying for the inn room and food until we can properly get our lives back on track.”

The pony nodded and extended a hoof. “That’s a deal,” she said. Jaxon shook her hoof in agreement. She then pointed her hoof toward the southwest. “Every time I catch those bandits pilfering my trees, they end up running that direction. They are either hiding their camp just outside the property in that direction or they run that way before circling around and hiding in the Wild Apple trees.”

“Gotcha,” Jaxon said, giving the pony a nod. “We’ll get right on it. How do you want them dealt with?”

“They’ve been pestering us for months now, so do what you feel is necessary,” she said. “And again, sorry for the roughness I showed earlier. I’m Applejack.”

“I’m Jaxon, and that beautiful dragon is my wife, Aqua,” he said. “Stay safe and we’ll be back as soon as we’re done.” He then walked away with Aqua following.

When they were a fair distance away, Jaxon stopped and spoke, “Applejack suggested two potential camp locations. Want to check them together or split up and check both locations at once?” Aqua shrugged her shoulders. “Let’s just do it together. Until we are more stable, we should stick together.”

The couple then began their search. They first checked the Wild Apple trees, but after a few hours of searching, there was no hint of a camp being there. So they exited the farm property in the direction that Applejack directed and kept their eyes peeled for clues. It took until the sun was starting to set that they found an idea of where they were. They were standing outside of a cave that had a ‘campfire smell’ coming from inside it and a relatively large stream flowing into it.

Jaxon scrounged together some materials to make a torch before turning to his wife. “I’m gonna go in and see about taking out the bandits,” he said as he lit it with a spark of fire from his hand. “If any attempt to flee through this way, either take them out or trap them from leaving.” Aqua nodded and took a glance at the stream as Jaxon entered the cave.

A few minutes of walking and he saw a campfire with four bandits sitting around it. Two were pegasi, one was a griffin, and the last one was a unicorn. They were all lightly armored and armed with daggers and bows. As quietly as he could, he unsheathed his sword and set it on the ground before drawing his bow and an arrow. He took aim at the unicorn and fired a shot.

The arrow was aimed at the unicorn’s forehead, but it ended up hitting his horn. The arrow’s impact, and the unicorn’s screaming got the rest of the bandits on guard and frightened. The griffin, having better gripping appendages, began working on attempting to extract the arrow from his buddy’s horn. The two pegasi ran to where they saw some torchlight to find the archer, but the first one into the torchlight was struck by another arrow.

The second pegasus made an attempt to stop, but ended up with a bronze sword through the gut. Jaxon entered the main cavern chamber, causing the griffin and unicorn to stop their struggling and pull out their weapons. The griffin made an attempt to attack him, but Jaxon was able to sidestep and trip him. The Unicorn did the same, but got sliced and stabbed pretty badly in the attempt, falling down dead.

The griffin, seeing that he’s outmatched, ran through the cave’s passage toward the exit. He took a quick peek behind himself to see if Jaxon was pursuing, but he ended up running into something that was soft and was blocking the exit. After shaking off his dizziness from the impact, he took a look at what had blocked him from leaving and his eye widened in a combination of shock and arousal.

Standing just outside the cave was Aqua, but her chest piece of her leather armor had been detached, showing that her shirt-covered bust had been inflated to a huge size. While Jaxon was inside the cave, Aqua drank a lot of water from the stream, causing her bust to swell up for her to use to block the cave.

She gave the griffin a flirtatious smile, which got him to awkwardly smile back. Aqua then started to turn around, and as she did so, the water that she drank to inflate her bust shifted and flowed into her rear, making it the huge one. When her inflated butt was fully facing the shocked and aroused griffin, she jumped up and dropped herself, rear first, onto him.

The impact broke many of his bones. While she couldn’t hear them breaking, she could definitely feel them through her sensitive, waterbed butt. She then shifted her weight back and forth, and even jumped a few times, breaking even more bones. After she felt like she gave him enough of a lesson, she stood up and faced the literally broken griffin with a lusty grin.

“You up for some more?” She teasingly asked, to which the griffin weakly nodded. She shifted the water in her body to give her a more ‘chubby’ appearance and ‘carefully’ laid, belly first, upon him. More of his bones broke as she laid down and positioned her head above his. She opened her mouth as if to kiss him, but before their lips met, a cascade of water flowed out of her mouth, powerful enough to overwhelm his means to breathe, but slow enough to not drain her completely. With minimal struggle, the griffin literally drowned to death in pleasure.

With the bandit dead, Aqua stood back up and reattached her armor, careful to readjust the water and the armor so it fit. As she did that, Jaxon exited the cave with a bag, seemingly filled with some of their ill-gotten gains. Just as she finished, Jaxon sat on a nearby rock and tears began to silently flow. Aqua noticed and moved over to him and gave him a hug.

“We did it so casually and for you, lustfully,” he said. “I should be feeling regret, but I’m not feeling any, or at least the amount that should be for people who kill for their first time.”

Aqua briefly tightened her hug when she thought about his words and understood some of his fear. “Honey, we may have killed easily, but we know when to not do it. Didn’t you tell me that you have a ‘problem’ with letting yourself leak into the game rather than the other way around?” He nodded and she continued, “If you act with that manner of thinking now, I’m sure you’ll do the right thing when it matters. You’ll kill when you need to kill, you’ll spare when you need to spare. And even if you end up becoming a murder-addicted psychopath, I’ll never stop loving you.”

Jaxon’s tears slowed after she said that, and he returned the hug. After she pulled away, he stood up and grabbed the bag. “Well, let’s head back to Applejack and report our success,” he said, taking his wife’s hand and leading them towards where they first met her. All while the sun started to finish going past the horizon and allowed the moon and stars to shine their light down on the land.

Author's Note

Turns out, that while the idea of different dimensions and magic is okay for Jaxon, killing easily as if you have done it before and with almost no remorse...yeah, anyone would think oddly about that. Aqua adjusted easier because of a few biological instincts from generations of keeping hidden from humans by any means necessary.
