The Baying Moon

Moondancer awoke slumped in her bondage chair and defeated. Rover had slunk out shortly after Nightshade vanished last night and no one entered after to unbind her. The tickle torture modded red sneakers had turned off sometime after she passed out and her painful massive erection softened to a collared bulge behind her briefs while she slept. Neither was welcomed by Moondancer, it left her undistracted and alone with her thoughts to reflect on her decision.

‘I’ve betrayed Twilight… I’ve betrayed Equestria, but worse I’ve betrayed Twilight.’ Moondancer’s head hung limp, her ears folded down and the ear tag swung in the air. ‘Even though saying I’d join the Shadowbolts was the only way Nightshade would let me cum… I meant it. I’ll do whatever she says. I want Twilight so, so bad and I can be with her now, forever. …I’m such a weak and selfish pony. I’m the mare who sold Equestria, just so she could get her rocks off. I don’t deserve love or even friendship.’

Moondancer lifted her head and stared out into the vacant cavern ahead. “Nightshade?”

There was no response.

“Diamond Dogs? Is anyone there? I’m ready. Suit me up.” She said sickened with herself.

A rustling noise echoed in the cavern. Moondancer leaned as far as she could forward. The noise multiplied and amplified. A small boulder fell from the ceiling in front of the door and rolled out of sight. Dirt cascaded down followed by Rover, Fido, and Spot. Lassie didn’t seem to be there as Rover and Fido hulled the heavy door open themselves. Rover panted a bit but all three walked right up to her, each one scowled.

“Is something wrong?” Moondancer asked cautiously.

“Some dogs heard… Some are…” Rover pawed at the ground with his foot. “Some are saying they heard you’re leaving us with Captain Pony.” Rover muttered looking down.

“Yeah… I agreed to join her Shadowbolts.”

“Whhhhhy?” Rover lifted his head and thrust out his arms; he looked hurt.

“We like Nerd Pony. You’re the best prisoner we’ve ever had. We don’t want you to go.” Fido whined.

“You’ve found more jewels than anypony we’ve had before and you make such cute noises.” Spot added.

“We like you!” The three said in unison.

Moondancer was taken aback and blushed.

“I’m sorry guys? I mean I’ve hated almost every second I’ve been down here and despise you three in particular.”

All three’s ears folded against their heads and they whimpered. Moondancer felt extremely awkward.

“But, umm, you three are at least nicer than Nightshade. And I rather be your prisoner than hers?” Moondancer said unsure.

Their ears and spirits shot straight up with hope.

“Does Nerd Pony mean it?” Rover asked.

“Yeah… Sure.” Moondancer looked off to the side.

The three Diamond Dogs pounced on her. They licked her face and nuzzled against her, their tails wagging up a storm. Moondancer darted her head around to avoid their large wet tongues but her cheeks were coated in their slobber.

“Uggh, so gross.” Moondancer heaved with her glasses knocked askew.

“Please stay with us Nerd Po-- Miss Moondancer.” Rover fixed her glasses and clasped his paws together. He gave her the biggest and most literal puppy dog eyes she’d ever seen.

Moondancer flinched. ‘So that’s how that trick feels.’

“Guys I can’t stay here anymore. Nightshade needs me to help capture the real Twilight. And… I want to do it. I want her to be mine, like I’ve been your prisoner.”

“What if let you cum Miss Moondancer?” Fido pleaded.

“I don’t think that’d end well for any of us.” Moondancer snorted. “Nightshade isn’t just some run of the mill pegasus. There’s something far darker going on with her, I think she’s connected to Nightmare Moon. Whether she’s just a fanatic cultist pledged to a being who no longer exist, Luna is plotting treason from within the diarchy, or whatever. I want to learn more.”

Moondancer’s head slipped down and the last of her dark thoughts spilled out.

“It’s too tempting. Forbidden knowledge, sex, Twilight — I want them all. I’m willing to relinquish everything to have them.”

The three mutts stared at waxing mare dumbfounded[12], Moondancer just shook her head. Rover and the other two hung their heads down.

[12] Emphasis on the ‘dumb’.

“We’ll miss you Miss Moondancer.”

“No you won’t. I’m sure Nightshade will give you Twi’s friend Rarity. It seems like Nightshade had intended for her to be your prisoner anyway based on the gem finding set-up and your history with each other.”

“But we will miss you!” Rover objected.

“We’ll prove it.” Fido continued.

“We’ll pamper Miss Moondancer until Captain arrives.” Spot finished.

Moondancer didn’t have time to protest before Rover threw off her sneakers and massaged her feet. The unicorn bellowed out a guttural moan of pure arousal. Fido tended to her shoulders and ears rubbing the soreness out of them. Spot worked her sides and eased the tension built up from her two weeks of non-stop laughter.

It was too much for Moondancer. Her cock stiffened halfway and the cock rings buzzed to life. Rover nuzzled her soles and kissed each one of her toes. His coarse fur bushing against her oil altered feet made her titter then bark out several laughs. The runes null ring entrapping her horn flared a fiery blue. Rover and the other two continued to coddle Moondancer like it was the last time they’d ever get to see her, and as far as they knew it might be.

The dogs paced themselves with Moondancer’s pampering, they drew her pleasured giggles out over fifteen glorious minutes. The flats of Rover’s thumbs kneaded her soles and a wave of magic erupted from Moondancer’s horn. None of the three Diamond Dogs bothered to look for any new gems revealed by the spell. Their real treasure was right in front of them.

‘I can’t wait to be able to do this to Twilight every day. Maybe after a few months of tickle torture she’ll break and worship my feet?’

“M-miss Moondancer?” Rover hesitated.

“Yeah?” She pried open one eyelid.

Rover’s paw stroked his sizable bulge beneath his shorts right in front of her feet. ‘Nightshade will kill us both if I let him do that again… but what’s the point of join the baddies if I’m not gonna break all the rules.’

Moondancer rolled her eyes and nodded. Rover beamed. He grabbed the waistband of his shorts, tugged them--

BOOM!!!

The entire cave system shook like an earthquake struck. Debris rained from above and howls echoed all throughout. Rover, Fido, and Spot darted their heads in the direction of each cry above. Guard dogs rushed past the open cell door to the upper levels. More sounds crashed above the ceiling and dust clouds wafted off it. Moondancer stared up speechless. Quick footsteps pounded from off to the side. ‘Is this all Nightshade? Because I was going to let Rover cum on my feet again?’

“Moondancer!” A young purple drake skidded to a halt in the doorway.

“Spike!?”

“Miss Rarity’s dragon?”

“Get away from her!”

Spike took a deep breath. His slightly pudgy gut sucked in and his chest puffed out. He plowed into the cell, twisted his head back but kept his eyes locked onto Rover, and snapped his head forward. A jet of emerald fire erupted from the dragon’s maw. Rover and the other two dogs dove away from the stream of flames. The three scampered and yipped across the floor on all fours running to the cell door. Spike spun in place and his flaming breath followed them. His fire scorched the earth as it chased the Diamond Dogs leaving trails of cinder. Green embers jumped from his fire blast and scalded Rover’s, Fido’s, and Spot’s asses.

“AHHHHH!” The Diamond Dogs yipped as they sprung up and barreled out the door.

Spike huffed and tried to catch his breath. Smoke billowed out of his gasping mouth. Spike turned to the flabbergasted unicorn.

“Ar-are you okay, Moondancer.”

“Spike? Is that really you?”

“Yeah!” Spike leapt at her. “Oh man, we were all so worried about you!”

He hugged and nuzzled her. His purple and green hoodie was almost as soft as her sweater. Spike dashed to the door. He braced once arms against the doorway, leaned his head out, and cupped his other hand next to his mouth.

“TWILIGHT! I found Moondancer!”

The drake pulled his head in and grinned. A brilliant flash of light engulfed the room. Moondancer shut her eyes and opened them to see a visage of beauty. A tall lavender mare with angel-like wings and a long horn stood before her. Moondancer ogled Twilight and the outfit she wore — an orchid purple argyle sweater vest overtop a white button up blouse with a soft pink bowtie. An above knee pleated purple plaid skirt, white varsity knee socks with eggplant colored stripes, and matching purple Converse with her starburst cutie mark emblazoned on the sides.

Moondancer’s cock thumped against her briefs, the bulge peeked through her unzipped khaki’s but went no further. ‘Thank Celestia these denial rings are still on me.’

Twilight rushed over and kneeled by Moondancer’s side.

“Moondancer!” Twilight threw her arms around the bound mare. “Please tell me you’re okay!”

The blushing mare nodded.

“Hold still for one moment.” Twilight closed her eyes and her horn glowed with a pink sparkling aura. The straps binding Moondancer shimmered in Twilight’s magic and unbuckled, her collar fell off, and the lock on the stocks burst apart as they flung themselves open. The loose toe rings flew off and clattered against the floor along with her ear tag. The null ring’s runes shined brighter and brighter and popped! A navy blue mist drifted out of the dulled etchings like smoke and the black ring crumbled to pieces.

Moondancer looked at her crotch. She pictured Twilight knelt in front of it and peeling her underwear down to dispel the rings around her privates. Her cock would immediately unload the weeks’ worth of pent up semen all over Twilight face, ropes of never-ending cum painting the princess in her seed. And Twilight, while surprised at first, would open her maw to catch every other spurt and lick her cum off her face. The cock rings revved up and Moondancer banished the thought from her mind. ‘I’ll just take care of these ones myself.’

Moondancer zipped her pants while the other two pretended not to notice. She gingerly lifted her feet and placed them on the floor. She flinched and hugged her legs to her chest. She buried her blushing face into her sweater and chew on it to suppress a sensual moan. Twilight and Spike looked at her with concern. Moondancer took a quick breath, place her feet back on the ground, and stood up putting her whole weight on them. Her eyes fought not to roll back and she devoured more of her sweater.

“Moondancer…” Twilight reached forward.

“I’m okay, Twi. It’s just been a couple of weeks.”

“Let’s get you out of here. The girls and the royal guard can handle the rest. Even Shiny came running when I informed the Princesses what happened. They searching the rest of the caverns now for more prisoners and to apprehend any Diamond Dogs they can. We also have the Wonderbolts on aerial reconnaissance if any of them try to escape above ground.”

“All this just for me?” Moondancer’s chin dug into her chest and tears streamed down her face.

“I’d do this for anypony, Moondancer.” Twilight clasped Moondancer’s hands.

The emotional unicorn tilted her head up and looked into Twilight’s gorgeous violet eyes.

“But especially a friend.”

More than anything Moondancer wanted to kiss Twilight. She inched her head forward but stopped herself. ‘I was going to betray her. I wanted to use Twi for my own sexual gratification.’ Her head slumped down in shame. She’d never felt so low.

Twilight titled her head unsure of Moondancer’s reactions.

Spike poked around in the crates on the back wall. He sniffed the air. "Does anypony else smell peanut butter?"

Moondancer chocked and spurted. Spike didn’t notice her and held a handful of heart shaped ear tags and the gem polisher.

“What were they even doing with all this stuff?” The dragon dropped them back into the boxes. Moondancer winced seeing them.

“Spike, grab on we’re leaving.” Twilight took a firm hold onto Moondancer’s hand. “The royal guard can go through all of that.”

Spike circled around the chair bending down to grab something. He hopped forward and took Twilight’s open palm. Twilight closed her eyes, her horn blazed with magical energy, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared.

A white flash faded away to reveal two ponies and a dragon. A cool breeze ran through Moondancer’s mane and tail. Outside! She was outside. She squinted her eyes from the harsh daylight and took in everything around her — fluffy white clouds, a lush green forest, nearby blue mountains — it was all so, okay. It was okay. Not great, just okay. Honestly she never was an outdoorsy pony, and even two weeks of being tickled tortured underground wasn’t going to change that.

Despite that, Moondancer took a lungful of clean not-smelling-of-unwashed-dog air. The stone hill behind them had an entrance to what must have been the cave system she’d been in. The mouth was engraved with two Diamond Dogs and the words Never Look Back, Walk Tall, Act Fine around the doorway. Her toes scrunched up the loose dirt beneath them.

“Oh Moondancer here, I grabbed your shoes on the way out.” Spike held out the red sneakers that had been turned into instruments of torture.

Moondancer didn’t move to take them.

“…I, ahh, didn’t see your socks.” Spike added awkwardly still holding out the shoes.

Feeling the social pressure Moondancer took them. ‘I should tell Twilight what Nightshade did to these. They might be able to track down whoever modified them.’ She ran her thumbs over the toes caps. Her feet feel a sharp pleasurable tingle and cock stirred again.

“Thanks Spike. You’re the best.” Moondancer smiled.

Spike grinned and scratched the back of his head. “Ahh it was nothing. A dragon’s gotta look out for his friends after all.”

Moondancer giggled. “And how your scared off the Diamond Dogs. I wish I was half as brave as you. You’re my hero Spike.”

Twilight’s eyes bugged out hearing Spike had confronted anyone, let alone multiple rapid gods. It didn’t sound like Moondancer was embellishing too much either. Spike turned to her, her little brother looking for her approval. Moondancer nodded and smiled behind Spike’s back.

“Great work Spike, I’m very proud of you.” Twilight congratulated him. “Just please be careful in the future.”

Spike beamed and threw his arms behind his head. “Relax Twi, you’re talking to Spike the Brave and Glorious here.”

Moondancer giggled and Twilight ruffled his head spines.

“We’ll drop Spike off in Ponyville and then I can take you back home.”

“Ahh come on Twi. I don’t wanna stay behind.” Spike whined.

“Sorry Spike, but there are some private matters I need to talk to Moondancer about.”

Moondancer’s blood froze.

“Fine.” Spike groaned.

“Umm…” Moondancer swallowed the lump in her throat. “Maybe you can come visit me soon? I miss seeing my favorite dragon around Canterlot. We can get donuts.” Moondancer offered.

“Deal!” Spike pumped his fist.

Twilight took Spike’s hand and put hers on Moondancer’s shoulder. With another flash they were headed home.

* * *

Nightshade ducked behind a rocky column as two ponies clad in gold armor chased one of the Diamond Dog guards down a tunnel. She was furious. ‘How in Tartarus did they find us? One of those damn mutts must’ve done something stupid.’

She snuck through a path that came to an open cell door. ‘Bad sign.’ The rubber around her balled up fist squealed. She threw the door the rest of the way open singlehandedly and thrust her head into the room, empty. Golden fire burned behinds her eyes and she stomped inside seeing a Moondancer’s collar and the shattered null ring and ear tag on the floor.

“There will be bloody consequences.” She muttered to herself.

“Well you right about that.”

Nightshade’s wings shot out and she whipped around. Blocking the doorway stood the former Captain of the Royal Guard and the Prince of the Crystal Empire, Shining Armor.

“Oh it’s you.” Nightshade relaxed.

“This whole mission’s been botched, let’s get out of here and regroup.” Shining Armor frowned.

“Oh Shining Armor, have you run into any more of those vial dogs?” A sole dainty voice called from up a tunnel.

“I wouldn’t say it’s been a total failure.” Nightshade hugged herself against the doorway’s wall and nodded to the snow white stallion.

“Rarity, come here. I need you to see this.” Shining Armor smiled wickedly.
