"Yeah. You cover that, and if you don't find them, get back here. Take your mobile phone," Limestone said, making sure that the tablet showed that both Rainbow and Thunderbolt's phones were being tracked. "And, remember, no brawling with these guys. This Storm King straight up tried to kill a whole bunch of people already, and it was only thanks to the princess that there were no casualties."

"And if they don't give me a choice?" Thunderbolt asked.

"Then be fast and make sure of your work. You're still a civilian here. If you hurt someone, you might have to justify it in court." Limestone was about to add more, but Thunderbolt spread his wings and jumped straight up. She tilted her head back and watched him disappear into the dark sky almost immediately.

"He'll be fine." Sonata could see a little better than Limestone, and had watched Thunderbolt even out and zoom off toward the north. "He went toe-to-toe with a siren and came out of it without a mark on him."

"From what I've seen, Sirens mostly get into your head." After she said it, Limestone turned her head to Sonata. "Right?"

"Beams of magic fire, sustained blasts of sonic energy. Plus he shrugged off their mind control." Sonata took another bite of her taco, and then said with her mouth full, "After all this, I'll give a demo."

"Yeah, I read all that about them, but I figured the blasts were—well, were smaller. What do you think about this Storm King?"

"He seems to have a lot of destructive force, but you spotted his weakness, right?" Sonata asked.

Limestone nodded. "He can't do much unless he has a storm, and it takes him a little time to build something up. Yeah."

"Hey, I'm ready. Where do you want me going?" Rainbow had a night-vision headpiece strapped on her head so that one of her eyes was uncovered but the other was seeing through the eyepiece.

It took a force of will not to laugh at Rainbow, a force of will and the realization that she'd done something very smart. "Got that piece of crap figured out? Okay, I want you flying this section over here." She circled the area of forest that split off to the west of their current location. "Thunderbolt is north and east of you."

Watching Rainbow take off in a fraction of the time Thunderbolt did, Limestone shook her head. "I hope she's as fast as she thinks she is."

Sonata and Rarity giggled at that, but it was Sonata who actually said, "You know she can literally slow time around her, right? Like, comic book style faster than fast stuff."

"Indeed," Rarity said. "She's already fast, but when she starts using that, she literally can't be touched."

"The problem is," Limestone said, feeling the need to be gruff, "lightning might still be faster."

Twilight checked the time almost every thirty seconds, she checked her messages on her phone every minute, and she reread her mother's message every few minutes. "I can't believe he wants to get out more. What do we do if he freaks out?"

"You think he will freak out? Didn't you say you took him to school and everything?" Marble was in the process of transposing her notes onto her computer.

"Well, yeah, but he's kinda big now. Our heights are nearly completely reversed. He's tall like a person and I'm a tiny pony." Twilight checked the time.

"And that matters?"

Checking for a new text message, Twilight exhaled with a grunt and shook her head. "I know it shouldn't, but—You'll see when he gets here."

"I think you're making way more of this than it needs to be, and you can trust me—I'm an expert in making things more than they need to be." Marble had come a long way in her socializing to be able to make that joke. "I'm worried about Thunderbolt."

"Didn't your sister say—"

"My sister says things that can hurt you without her even realizing it. I know what she said, but she's also not an expert in all this." Marble looked at her hands and squeezed them into fists. "But I don't know what to do. I can't help him directly and I don't know how to do what he does."

Checking the time again, Twilight slumped on the couch and let her jaw rest just over the edge. "I could have done that. I had wings and a horn and everything, but then I messed up."

When her phone beeped, Twilight jumped nearly three feet in the air before landing and checking her messages. "They're here! What do I do?"

"Come with me to answer the door." Not that Marble felt like putting herself forward to several new people, but she felt close to Twilight. "Come on," she added, standing up.

Walking to the door, Twilight reached it just as the doorbell sounded. She reached out with her magic and opened the door. "Spike!" It took just one look at him—and his pensive expression—for Twilight to drop all her nerves and jump forward.

Marble bit her bottom lip and retreated to let Spike and Twilight hug it out on the doorstep. Walking across the living room, she turned her thoughts back to Thunderbolt. Sitting at her computer, Marble could only stare at the screen blankly.

"Spike!" Twilight didn't care if she almost knocked him over, she felt Spike's arms close around her and hug her and it all felt okay. "Are you okay?"

"I needed to get out of the house. I asked Mom, and she said I was big enough I could take myself for a walk now." Pressing his snout to the back of Twilight's neck and inhaled. It was an odd mix of animal and something not-animal. Given that he could actually see through part of her body, he couldn't really argue with his senses.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Twilight asked, squirming a little so she could lean back and look him in the face. She was reminded of the roleplaying games her brother played with her when she was younger. There was a race in the books called a gnoll.

"Y-Yeah." Letting go of Twilight, Spike stood up straight and felt like a giant compared to her. All his life he'd looked up at her—not anymore.

When she heard the door close, Marble expected to see Twilight and Spike walk into the living room, but her pony ears couldn't even hear them. Now alone and still worried about Thunderbolt, Marble let out a sigh, picked her laptop up, and started making her way to her bedroom.

Without the distraction of Twilight's fiddling, her body's need for food was eating away at the back of her mind, and that meant she needed some alone time.

"I've looked everywhere," Rainbow said. "Even Thunderbolt's area. He's checked mine. They're not out there."

Limestone looked at her tablet. They had indeed covered all the wooded area within range and had found no trace of the pair. "So they're inside somewhere. So much for my idea of releasing bears."

Rainbow snorted, having heard Limestone make the gag several times. "Hey, I liked the idea. But, right now, I'm going to go sleep."

"With me." Thunderbolt walked toward the house too, though it was getting harder to navigate around inside without scraping the walls. "Take off the night vision stuff, Dash."

Glad for having four legs, Rainbow walked slowly so she wouldn't fall over. "Yeah, yeah. Hey, Limestone, I'll bring the gear back tomorrow. That okay? Thanks."

As soon as the rear door closed behind him, and still following Rainbow down the hallway toward her bedroom, Thunderbolt leaned forward and nipped at her croup. "Are you hungry?" His tone implied he didn't mean normal food.

"You too, huh? Yeah, I got an itch under my tail, and I think you've got the cure." Walking a little slower, Rainbow swayed her hips a little for Thunderbolt's enjoyment.

Rumbling out a purr, Thunderbolt followed Rainbow, taking careful note of every time she swished her tail. Entering the master bedroom just behind her, he started advancing his desires a bit more before she spun to face him.

"Wanna let me drive?" Rainbow felt far too horny to be passive in their lovemaking. She stared at Thunderbolt with so much hunger she almost pounced on him there and then.

"You don't normally like to." Turning, Thunderbolt tilted himself sideways and flexed the muscles in his back that controlled his crest—folding it against his scales as he rolled onto his spine. Flicking his tail side to side, he watched Rainbow approach and purred just a little more.

There was a lot of dragon before Rainbow, but from experience she knew there was two important parts she wanted most of all. Grabbing a quick squirt of lube from the bottle on her bedside table, she walked back over to ponder her situation.

Giving a flap of her wings she jumped up and onto Thunderbolt, looking up his body at him. He'd angled his head against her chest of drawers so that he could watch—and that only encouraged Rainbow more. "Hey, big guy, you ready?"

Thunderbolt was ready enough. His breath threatened to turn to smoke and both his shafts were pushing free of his genital slit. About to make a suggestion, he silenced himself as she slid her body back and both his lengths kissed a hole each.

"I still have no idea how you fit all that inside me," Rainbow said, "but it's amazing that you can." With that she arched her spine, spread her wings, and flapped—shoving her body backwards.

A shudder ran through Thunderbolt. He'd let partners take control before, but never Rainbow Dash. She'd always been his to take, and that made this a special occasion—despite his almost overwhelming desire to shove her down and fuck her. "You're always so tight."

"That's because I work out," Rainbow said, leaning further back until she felt her rear press to Thunderbolt's body.

"You can work out for that?" Surprised, Thunderbolt reached for Rainbow with one claw, running it over her ear and scritching just behind it. "Perhaps you could teach me this?"

With her head tilted into the scratching claw, Rainbow nuzzled at Thunderbolt's huge talon. "We could try. Maybe Tree could help you with that too?" Leaning forward, Rainbow eased herself off Thunderbolt's shafts and then shoved back with her wings again.

The slow pace ate away at Thunderbolt's focus. Normally he liked to fuck Rainbow rapidly, driving her into a frenzy to match his own, but this was more like what Tree did with him. Slow, sensual, and just making it really hard for him to focus on anything but his lover.

One thing that encouraged Rainbow to keep her pace slow was the adorable whines that Thunderbolt made each time she pulled back. Each time she rocked herself off of him and back down, her body's hunger was sated a little more, but what she really wanted was a feast. "Time to kick things up a gear."

"Want me to—?"

"You know what, go ahead." Rainbow had had her fun, and was more than happy to have Thunderbolt grab her, pull her off his shafts, then press her to the floor with his talons and then his belly.

"Can't resist it, can you?" Thunderbolt drove himself into Rainbow with a firm thrust, sinking his shafts as deep as he could and pushing Rainbow along the floor a little bit. "You just want a big dragon to take control and fuck you senseless."

Eyes screwed closed, Rainbow nodded.

"Good pony." Pace was no longer a problem. Thunderbolt started fucking for all he was worth, earning all sorts of needy and hungry cries from Rainbow.

The wording Thunderbolt used triggered Rainbow's submissive nature, and when he started to swell inside her, she lost herself to her pleasure. Stretching her wings out to each side, she flapped them weakly as her body trembled and shook.

Feeling Rainbow experiencing her climax, Thunderbolt growled and sped his pace up until the swollen tips of his shafts wouldn't move anymore. Still, though, he rocked his body against her and brought himself to the very peak of his pleasure.

The intensity of Thunderbolt's orgasm never ceased to blow Rainbow away. She'd been coming down from her own climax, but the rush of intense heat in her colon and vagina shoved her into a second release that wiped out all sensation beyond their immediate coupling.

Tilting his hips to the side, Thunderbolt reduced the pressure on Rainbow, and he tugged her back against his belly with a foreleg and a wing. Reduced to grunts as his orgasm extended out, Thunderbolt started petting Rainbow to show his affection.

Rainbow Dash turned as best she could so her belly was pressed to Thunderbolt's. The motion had put a little strain on the tie, but she liked that little bit of discomfort. "You know just what I need."

When his rutting body had calmed enough he trusted himself to talk without burning the house down, Thunderbolt purred again. "What are we going to do about these monsters?"

"You thinkin' of that too, huh? I don't think it'd be a good idea to leave them to Limestone and Twilight—uh, the princess one. I mean, I get it, they kick ass, but you know what we've got?"

"Experience." Thunderbolt nodded and leaned down to lick at Rainbow's cheek. "They're not in the hills around the city. Do you think you can find them?"

"Please, after a good sleep, I'll find them in ten seconds flat." At that, Rainbow yawned. "Hey, uh, you're not planning to go anywhere for a few hours?"

"Not when I could wake up and do this all over again." Yawning himself, Thunderbolt curled his tail around Rainbow and tucked the tip of it under his chin. "Good night, Rainbow."

Author's Note

Captain Penny: Have you felt any affect of Equestria magic on you so far? If you are not interested, they have a bi-pedal anthro cat species over there, in case you might want an upgrade?

"I am quite comfortable being loved and adored in the conveniently cuddle-sized feline I am at the moment." Penny turned around, lifted one of her back legs, and aimed a rude part of her anatomy at the audience—then started cleaning herself.

So I do this "Ask X" thing. X can be any pony within the story. You can ask them anything and they will definitely, hopefully reply. Keep the questions appropriate to the age-rating of the stories, and they will answer the best question in the author notes of the next chapter. The more votes a comment has the more likely I will get it to the right pony to answer. Try to keep it to one question per post! They will pick one question per chapter.
