The Art of Reprisal

Starlight had to admit that of all the times she had misjudged a situation, this was the worst as far as repercussions. Neither Chrysalis nor Twilight had had any idea that while they did their little song and dance together, a certain unicorn had been watching over them like the most ineffectual guardian angel.

Starlight had, much to her credit, never really trusted Chrysalis and her so called 'conversion'. It was all so convenient, and in the end was too much of the perfect story for it to actually be real. Sure, some ponies had rightfully pointed that out about her in the past - as well as for Trixie - but in the end Starlight knew herself and had room to doubt another creature.

When idly casting a scry spell after being alerted by another spell that Chrysalis had entered closer proximity with another pony, Starlight found herself watching a session of hypnosis. It was... disconcerting, to say the least. It was almost exactly what Starlight would've done if she had actually faked her own conversion - it also was something she had considered doing to make things easier on herself at times, but she had always had held out... except that one time.

And then there was that other time.

Then again, some ponies might count that other time.

The point was that Starlight didn't intercede immediately due to an understanding that sometimes a girl just had to hypnotize her mentor in hopes of getting said mentor off her back. It was a piece of common history, one might say. A sort of divergent evolution of tactics that didn't necessarily mean the changeling meant anything untoward or nefarious.

And then the changeling began to fuck Twilight senseless while disguised as Celestia.

Starlight instantly prepared a teleportation spell to leap into the fray, but then she paused. What if it was a friendship lesson in disguise? What if Twilight actually was having short term fun in addition to preparing to teach the changeling a long term lesson? It could happen - stranger things had come to pass before, so why not now?

Over the course of the next few months, Starlight would occasionally get pings from a more specific spell that indicated Twilight was the pony Chrysalis had approached. Each time, Starlight brought up a scry spell, and each time she watched as somehow Twilight was put into a trance. It certainly didn't help that her scry spell initially lacked sound, so there was little way of telling the mechanism the changeling was using.

Time passed, and as Starlight finally figured out how to include an element of sound that only allowed for her to hear the subject she scried on and not the other way around, she was allowed to witness a more... complete picture.

"Very good, my faithful student, now for today's first lesson." Celestia's voice said through the open scry spell. Starlight picked up a notepad in her magic, furiously scribbling abbreviated notes as she watched and waited. "The Queen may do with her property as she wishes. There is nothing that the Queen cannot do with her property. By definition, all that she owns is hers, and what is hers can have whatever she wants done to it. Am I understood?"

"Yes, my Queen, my first lesson today is that my Queen may do whatever she wishes with her property without exception. This is right and proper." Twilight replied in a cheerful voice as she stared on Celestia's form with a little more interest than Starlight had ever noted from her friend.

"Very good, and now for your second lesson." Chrysalis in Celestia's body said. "Now, I want you to prepare yourself for today's second lesson. For this cause, I want you to tell me your lessons thus far, my faithful student. Use them to bolster your resolve and to help you more readily receive what is to come."

"Yes, my Queen. My First Lesson: Celestia is my Queen. Lesson Two: I obey my Queen. Lesson Three: I cannot disobey my Queen. Lesson Four: I love my Queen. Lesson Five: I lust for my Queen." Twilight said, as though simply reciting a list of basic facts. Starlight, however, froze up, her quill halting on the paper as she listened to the mare she had grown to know as anything but sexual.

"Lesson Six: my embarrassment arouses me. Lesson Seven: Before I sleep I must masturbate to the thought of my Queen. I will clean up the mess and then fall asleep to dream of my Queen. Lesson Eight: my Queen may do as she wishes with her property without exception." Starlight found herself stunned by this. She wasn't sure what to make of it all.

Here Twilight was, willingly - at least by appearances - saying such... wonderfully depraved things! It was beyond the Twilight Starlight knew to think of such things, and here she was reciting them openly! Starlight didn't even notice as her one forehoof migrated a tad closer to the space between her hindlegs.

"Well done, my faithful student, and now for your second lesson of the day." Chrysalis said, creating a poignant sense of anticipation in Starlight as she watched and listened. "You, my faithful student, are my property." Starlight dropped the notepad in shock.

Instead of rushing over to the room and ending the deception, though, Starlight couldn't help but find herself so incredibly aroused that all she could do was masturbate as she watched. Whatever Chrysalis intended, her way of going about it was hitting all sorts of buttons in Starlight. It made her tingle with need and pant with lust. She wanted so very desperately to be in Chrysalis' place, to tame the wild mare in Twilight, but instead she was getting to live it vicariously.

Twilight, of course, would be fine! She had had this well under control from the beginning and hadn't made a single mistake! She had to have some sort of safety protocol that had already been activated and she was just riding this wave - seeing if perhaps Chrysalis was just a bit peckish and was using her for a reliable food source.

That was it! Twilight was letting herself be the willing food source for a desperate changeling! It was just that simple, of course! It was all play all along, no doubt about it. Twilight was sacrificing of her own energies to ensure that there were no other ponies being harmed by the changeling - especially those without the skills Twilight had to fight off the more nefarious effects of a changeling.

Starlight moaned in satisfaction, pleased with both her own ability to deduce Twilight's wonderful masterstroke of a plan while also having some wonderful material primed for her own personal pleasure.

And so she watched on, week after week and month after month. Sometimes she'd have no new shows for long stretches of time and would have to use a memory repeating spell to rewatch old shows. Her favorite by far was when Chrysalis had Twilight licked the floor.

Sure enough, just like the changeling had ordered, every day after that show there was an hour or two were Starlight would get a ping on a specialized spell that told her Twilight was alone in her room and that the door was locked. Like clockwork, Starlight would find a moment and open her scrying spell to find the Princess of Equestria licking her floor clean while walking backwards so as to lick up her own dripping arousal.

She just loved it all, and loved that Twilight would let it go on for so long! She must've gotten a kick out of leading the changeling on and on, or perhaps the alicorn too was enjoying it to some extent. The arousal that dripped from Twilight whenever she licked her floor and the sheer awestruck devotion in her eyes when attending Chrysalis in Celestia's form seemed to speak of such.

It was of a minor concern to Starlight as she noticed Twilight slowly shifting to a darker color - something more readily noticed when viewing older show and then seeing Twilight in person mere moments later. Starlight simply chalked it up to the process of maturing as an alicorn. Perhaps colors turned a tad bit. There was no reason at the time to sound any sort of alarm.

Especially since it involved bringing forward evidence that consisted of Twilight in her intimate moments. That certainly wouldn't look good for Starlight when she did such a thing. Besides, beyond the color change, there was nothing to worry about. Twilight had it all under control and Starlight could just sit back and watch.

Things, however, changed when Starlight got a late night ping of Chrysalis and Twilight's proximity that had roused her from a deep sleep. She didn't feel like watching late night porn, but did activate her scrying spell just in case so that she could watch. She faded in an out of sleep - and for most of the time it seemed as though they were doing their dirty deeds without any light.

The few times she heard a voice, she could only catch so much - having been disturbed from her sleep at such a late hour. Suddenly, she heard a piercing cry that tore her from the brink of sleep that she had teetered on.

"I LUST FOR MY QUEEN!" The voice cried desperately, bringing Starlight to enough wakefulness to pay some actual attention. She blessed the foresight she had had in making the audio only play in her mind - otherwise the conversation with Trixie might've gone a bit... sideways. Perhaps a tad up and down, depending on the unicorn's mood.

The part that caught Starlight off guard was the fact that it wasn't Twilight's voice. It was most certainly another pony, one that her sleep addled brain was having a hard time placing though it dangled off the tip of her tongue.

"MY EMBARASSEMENT AROUSES ME!" The voice cried again, this time clearly for Starlight to hear who it was.

Luna?

Why was Luna repeating the lessons? What in the world was going on? Was Chrysalis reinforcing the lessons by pretending to be Luna and having Twilight teach them to her? Certainly there was no chance that it was actually Luna, right? RIGHT‽

Quietly getting out of be, even as she continued to monitor the scrying spell, Starlight scoured her personal book collection - quickly finding what she was after as Luna's voice cried out once more. "I WILL MASTURBATE TO MY QUEEN EVERY NIGHT AND EAT MY OWN CUM BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP!"

It made Starlight search over the runes even faster. A second later she cast the alteration to her scrying spell, providing herself a view with night vision applied. The world she looked out on was still dark, but with the additional spell activated, she could not place certain details.

The group was in a forest clearing somewhere. The view gave no sense of landmarks, not that Starlight wanted to find them just yet - she needed to know what the situation was before jumping to conclusions that might lead somewhere she didn't want to end up. As far as she could tell then, it was Twilight pleasure Chrysalis who had taken Luna's form for the evening in a somewhat more public setting. It was a step for Chrysalis, and possibly the last Twilight would let her take.

Then She noticed the changeling.

There Chrysalis was, standing in the clearing to the side, bold as day. She was there, in her natural form, watching over the display. She was watching the display. She... she was there, which meant that... but how?

Starlight's mind raced a thousand miles a minute as she tried to put together what was happening. Suddenly, everything had become far more confusing, and were only progressing towards the worse. She was helpless to watch, but to dumbfounded to listen, as Chrysalis bent over Twilight and whispered words of encouragement and instruction.

All at once, with startling clarity, Twilight's lack of power became eminently obvious. The world seemed to crash as Starlight realized with a rising horror that Twilight had never been in control. Twilight had been taken wholly by Chrysalis who was now putting into place the final stage of her plan, and all Starlight could do was watch in silent horror as a friend became something she was never meant to be.

Starlight found herself facing a choice as she sat there, unsure of what the world held. She could either accept defeat and roll over or she could get on her hooves and start making something of the situation. She was too far away to act instantaneously - the teleportation necessary to get her there in one jump would be so draining she'd be useless against Chrysalis with all that love energy floating around her.

Her decision was made when Trixie, bleary-eyed and only half awake, stumbled into the room.

That changeling bitch wanted to try and take over Equestria? She wanted to try and make Twilight her thrall? She thought she could get away with dominating two of Equestria's princesses? Well...

Starlight would just have to show her what for.
