“P.P.P.A.S? What in tarnation’s that supposed ta be?” Zap asked as Vinyl and Pinkie re-joined the group.

“The ‘Pinkie Pie Party Announcement Spell.’” Vinyl explained with pride. “Pinkie and I’ve thrown so many loud parties back in the day, sometimes you need a way to let everypony know something important. So, we use that spell.”

“Yep!” Pinkie chirped, slowly re-energising as she returned to Marble’s side. “And with that word of power thingy that all of us former main characters have, there shouldn’t be any more nasty bugs to fight in the tunnels.”

“You’re sure about that?” Bonbon asked with a sceptical eyebrow raised.

“Uh-huh.” Pinkie nodded. “After all, it worked with Applejack, didn’t it?” Bonbon’s retort died in her mouth, remembering how, with one word, all the captured ponies in Appleloosa had fallen unconscious. Plus, this was Pinkie Pie. Most Ponyville natives had their own stories of coming to accept the strange earth pony’s zany abilities and knowledge. Apparently, Twilight’s turn doing so had been quite the ordeal, if Applejack was to be believed.

“Regardless,” Starlight spoke up, moving closer to the exit. “We’ll need to search the rest of the cavern. There’s still plenty of ponies to free.”

“I’ll help.” Flurry volunteered, but she couldn’t even get to her feet before Zap Apple stood before her, hands on hips.

“Uh, uh. You ain’t goin’ anywhere, missy.” She declared. “What you need right now is rest.”

“She’s right, Flurry,” Starlight added, cutting off Flurry’s argument before it escaped her mouth. “You’re in no condition to navigate these tunnels. Same goes for you.” She now directed her gaze to the earth pony who, though slightly disappointed, nodded understandingly. “Vinyl and I will go searching through for other prisoners. We’ll meet you back here.”

The two unicorns left before Flurry could muster a response, taking their time returning to the crossroads chamber. As they walked, Starlight summoned her quill and parchment from her bag, then quickly penned a letter before engulfing it in magical green flames.

“What’re you asking the Empire for? More ponies to help?”

Starlight shook her head. “More reformation gems. We’re running pretty low right now. And between restoring the Element Bearers and ourselves, we’ll run out at this rate.”

“It’ll be alright.” Vinyl said with her usual laid-back grin. “Once all five of us have those fancy necklaces, Rarity can’t hurt us anymore, right?” The other unicorn nodded. “And once that happens, then Sunburst can make more gems again, and we’ll be good.” Starlight merely smiled in response. Given what had happened this past week, she was starting to lose hope. Not just in the quest either, but in her own abilities; especially her ability to keep Flurry safe.

Shaking that off, the two finally reached the crossroads cavern. Sure enough, there were multiple clones of Pinkie that now laid on their back, their arachnid limbs curled up in the clearest possible sign of their death. Before going back to the cavern of the elder Pie sister, the two instead turned to go the other as-of-yet unexplored cavern. As they walked, however, Vinyl stopped by the massive hole in the centre of the cavern floor.

“What do you think’s down there?” The DJ asked as Starlight joined her looking down into the darkness.

“Only one way to find out.”

“Uh, Starlight? I’m all for being brave and all that, but I’m not jumping down there.”

The mage ignored her companions’ quip and summoned a sphere of light with her magic. She lowered her arm, letting it fall like a snowflake down the hole and illuminating it as it went. It was deep. Starlight had to assume at least fifty to sixty feet down. But as the bottom of the pit finally came to light, the eyes of both unicorns widened in shock.

At the bottom of the hole was the immobile body of a massive reptilian beast. It was covered snout to tail in dark green scales, its purple eyes, blank and lifeless. A mess of pink tendrils sprayed out around it from the back it collapsed upon, and from its mouth stretched more. That same mouth seemed to contain notably large pink mounds along its jaw in place of teeth, though neither mare wanted to go down there to confirm their suspicions as to whatever they might be. What wasn’t a mystery, however, was who this grotesque monster used to be.

“Poor Gummy…” Vinyl muttered, Starlight nodding her silent agreement. It seemed even pony’s pets weren’t immune to the corruption that had stolen their home from them. Travelling into the final available path, Starlight and Vinyl passed by more of the deceased Pinkie clones.

Had they been on their way to stop us? Starlight thought as they passed, the monsters all seemingly heading in the opposite direction to their destination.

A little while later, the two mares arrived in the kitchen. There was a large bench; probably one and a half times the height of an average pony, surrounded by cooking appliances occupying dedicated alcoves in the cavern wall. On shelves and smaller tables all around were pastries and baked bread foods. What was more concerning was how each of them had a mare or two trapped within. Mares were arranged as decorations atop creamy cakes, their heads emerging from the ends of crepes and strudels, and severing as a living pole for donuts to encircle. Thankfully, it appeared none of these victims were carrying any eggs, unlike those unfortunates in Maud’s old home.

At the centre of this chamber, laying on the floor among the dead clones, was a somewhat familiar stallion. He stood nearly eight feet tall, his yellow frame gangly and equipped with four thin arms that were nearly as long as Starlight was tall. Drawing closer they saw the square jawline and orange mane, and at once recognised the pony.

“M-Mr. Cake?” Vinyl stuttered as Starlight cautiously moved closer. Beside the baker’s head was an insectoid creature of some kind. From the outside, it resembled a BDSM mask with the only hole being for the nostrils. Thankfully, like every other bug and clone they’d encountered thus far, it was curled up dead, and a finger to the neck revealed to Starlight that Mr. Cake hadn’t joined them in the afterlife.

“He’s fine.” She stated, immediately allaying the DJ’s fears. “Come on. Let’s help get him and the other prisoners together. It’ll be easier to teleport them down to the others.”

“What about the monsters?” Starlight curious gaze was answered when she followed Vinyl’s nod. Amongst the ponies that were trapped, monsters were also prisoners either in food or awaiting their turn. They too were unconscious, though Starlight was lacking the motivation or energy to care for them now.

“We leave them where they are. There’s no guarantee they’ll want to switch sides like Applejack’s wolves did. Best leave it up to Pinkie what to do.”

A nod from Vinyl was all the answer Starlight got or needed, as the two unicorns freed as many ponies as they could. Thankfully none of them looked too corrupted beyond an overdose of carnal pleasure. Unfortunately, there were a few that weren’t responsive; their ordeals taking not only their sanity, but their life. Once grouped together, Starlight teleported the prisoners down to Pinkie’s bed chamber, then Vinyl and herself back to Maud’s old cavern. There were even more dead clones and bugs in here, curled up in their demise. Again, they went through the process of freeing the ponies, taking care not to get themselves stuck in the webbing. Vinyl inevitably did get stuck. A couple of times. Starlight didn’t mind, however. It kept her mind off the bloated stomachs of those they rescued. More concerning were the lump-coated breasts of mares, and even extremely swollen testicles of stallions; indicating gender wasn’t an issue for oviposition when it came to Pinkie’s monstrous form.

After an hour or so had passed, Starlight and Vinyl finally reappeared in the bedroom chamber. In total they had managed to save some fifty ponies or so, and each of them were now resting on sleeping mats beneath blankets that Pinkie Pie had pulled from seemingly out of thin air.

She’s back alright, Starlight thought to herself as the two unicorns gathered around the mats upon which Marble, Bonbon and Flurry sat. As Flurry and Zap laughed at the explanation behind the webbing on Vinyl’s feet, a quick glance in her bag revealed to Starlight she was running desperately low on reformation gems. Having need to heal themselves, as well as needing at least three to help bring the Element Bearers back, was taking a toll on their supplies. This also made Starlight aware of their limited teleportation crystals. Though they weren’t speeding through them as quickly, if there were more large groups of ponies like this, she worried when they’d run out.

“Whaaaaaaaatcha thinking ‘bout?” Starlight jumped a little at Pinkie Pie’s sudden intrusion into her personal space. This garnered the attention of the other ponies, the mage suddenly the centre of attention.

“Oh, well, I was just thinking we’re starting to run low on supplies. Until we get more from Sunburst, we’re walking a razor’s edge and can’t afford any more corruptions.” Flurry’s brow furrowed in guilt at that; her gaze dropping to her expanded melons, resting partially on her full belly. Her thoughts spiralled around her decision to scout ahead; yet another reckless and immature choice that nearly cost her everything. Before the weight of these choices could grow too heavy, a hand came to rest upon her shoulder. Looking up, the alicorn saw the reassuring smile of Zap Apple. The look the orange pegasus gave spoke volumes, and the tension within Flurry slowed ebbed back into the void.

“Oh Starlight, you don’t need to worry ‘bout getting everypony home.” Pinkie Pie spoke up, Flurry looking back to see the pony-insect hybrid rustling the unicorn’s mane. “Back while I was still that mean ol’ Pinkamena bug-thing, I’ve dug tunnels all over Equestria. Marble and I can get al the ponies down here to the Crystal Empire safely, and you five and travel wherever like sneaky ninjas. Which is reeeeeeeeeally handy considering the big monster stomping about all mad and stuff above ground.”

The other mares, including Marble, all stared at Pinkie in abject confusion. Zap was the first to regain her wits, responding with a flat “Pardon?” Before Pinkie could reply, a burst of green flames summoned a small bag as it fell into Starlight’s grasp. A quick check inside revealed another ten gems, raising her spirits a little.

“Well, if you’re saying there’s a monster up there, then we may as well camp down here for the night. It won’t be able to get in, right Pinkie?”

“Well duh,” the pink pony giggled. “The entrances up there were too small for me. No way some big stinky monster from Canterlot’s getting down here. Oh, you must all be super hungry, right? I’ll go whip something up. Be right back!” Pinkie rushed up the tunnel before anyone else could get a word in. A small laugh emerged from Marble as she sat upon her mat, her enormous chest on the ground before her.

“…Was she always this… energetic?” Zap cautiously as the other mares sat down.

“More or less.” Shrugged Bonbon.

“In any case,” Starlight spoke up, regaining everypony’s attention. “We need to start using these gems as sparingly as we can. With Sunburst focussed on making the dream amulets, I can’t imagine there’re many more gems left back in the Empire.” She then distributed out the gems, with Vinyl taking one, and the other nine being split evenly amongst the original three adventurers.

“Flurry,” Zap spoke up, reaching into her own bag for more gems. “Ah think you need a little more...” She blushed as she nodded at the alicorn’s bloated breasts, but before the gem could make contact, Flurry grabbed Zap’s wrist.

“No, I’ll be okay.” She said with a smile and a shake of the head, but the expressions on Zap and Starlight’s faces begged to differ.

“Say what?” Zap exclaimed, taken aback.

“Flurry, you honestly can’t expect to fight like that, right?” Starlight spoke up, gesturing to her nieces’ bosom and belly.

“Yet you just said we can’t afford to waste these,” Flurry countered, using her magic to rise to her feet, yet Zap still offered a steadying hand to keep her upright. “We keep wasting these gems on fixing me up, yet I keep getting changed back. We might as well wait until I’m in a worse state before using the gems. They should be a last resort.”

“But Flurry-”

“No!” Flurry cut off Zap, but softened her tone at the sight of the Apples’ shocked expression. “I’m sorry, but we can’t waste our resources on constantly fixing me up when we need them for others. Until I get worse than this, we wait. Agreed?” Starlight and Zap shared a concerned look, while Bonbon and Vinyl wore similar expressions, but they eventually nodded their consent.

“As long as you’re sure you can go on.” Starlight finally responded. Flurry nodded before Zap helped her back down to a sitting position.

“Hi again!”

All mares save Marble jumped as Pinkie re-emerged out of the blue, unfurling a large sky-blue blanket to reveal a delicious assortment of pastries and cakes. Flurry’s mind struggled to find an answer outside magic as to how the food went unsquashed or the blanket unstained. But, while Zap shared her confusion, seeing Starlight, Bonbon and Vinyl digging put her questions on the back burner. Seeing this and no doubt knowing what was running through her mind, Starlight smiled and simply stated “It’s Pinkie Pie. Don’t question it.” Despite the setting and the preceding hours, the six conscious ponies enjoyed the meal and got to informing the former Element of Laughter of what had happened in the Crystal Empire since the fall of Equestria. Pinkie got emotional hearing how the Cake twins had grown up and become such dear friends to Flurry.

“Oh, I can’t wait to see them being so happy.” The pink party-thrower stated, wiping a happy tear from her eye. “I bet I’ll see them in my dreams. It’ll be the best, most wholesome dream ever!” Pinkie exuberant mood soured somewhat at the lack of a response. “What? What’s wrong?”

“It isn’t you, Pinkie.” Vinyl spoke up. “It’s Rarity. She’s been harassing us in our dreams.”

“I guess we’re a bit apprehensive about going to sleep.” Starlight added, but Pinkie brushed this off with a smile.

“Oh, don’t worry about it. Rarity never visits dreams around here.”

“Wait, what?” The five responded as one, shock rife in their voices.

“Yeah,” Pinkie explained with a shrug. “She poked around a couple of times, but said my dreams were too crazy and never came back.”

“That seems too good to be true.” Bonbon piped up.

“Yeah, but it’s been a long day, and we’re really in no position to do anything about it.” Flurry stated, with Starlight nodding in agreement. “We’ll just have to take Pinkie’s word for it.”

And so, the seven mares readied themselves for bed. Pinkie and Marble slept together, laying on the younger sister’s expanded chest as any other position could leave Marble at risk of suffocation. Bonbon and Flurry laid down on their sides, with the princess flanked closely by Zap. As her blue eyes closed, the alicorn willed with all her heart for Pinkie’s words to be true before sleep finally claimed her.

Flurry silently vowed to never doubt Pinkie Pie again.

The party was now travelling through empty tunnels heading east, their way illuminated by the light spells she and Starlight were casting. It had been a few hours since they had departed the mines of the rock farm, with Manehatten their new target. Upon waking up from a full, normal night’s rest, the re-energised party decided they needed to end the spectre of the fashionista invading their dreams, and with only Bonbon and Vinyl still missing dream amulets, they would most likely be immune to her advances by the time they arrived in the city. Pinkie also revealed that, in order to purify Rarity, they’d need to find her real body. Luckily, Vinyl was an expert on Manehatten, having performed there many times before Equestria’s fall, and knew it like the back of her hand.

Pinkie had chosen to stay behind with Marble, preparing to lead the captured ponies back to the safety of the Crystal Empire like she said. Before they left, however, she had given the group more food for the journey, as well as scavenging for more clothes for the naked Flurry and Bonbon. Though most, if not all, of the clothing was skimpy at best, it was still better than nothing. Flurry looked ahead at the waddling form of Bonbon, now wearing black short shorts and a pink tank top cut short at the bottom. Though it covered her nipples, there was still the slightest sliver of underboob visible between the fabric and her swollen stomach. Looking down, Flurry felt her face heat up with a blush at the sight of her new wardrobe. A black G-string lay beneath a pink skirt that was so short it was almost useless. Her chest was contained within a black boob-tube with a gold ring in the centre front of the piece. The garment was still struggling though; clearly its previous owner hadn’t been as well-endowed as Flurry was now, and she had to be careful. The princess feared the slightest wrong move would be enough for her bountiful bosom to escape and destroy the piece. Looking back up, Starlight now wore a navy-blue bra beneath Vinyl’s large white jacket. The DJ had insisted Starlight needed it more than her, and Flurry found it hard to disagree.

Their journey was slow; not only were they navigating via Starlight’s magic and tools borrowed from Bonbon, but also their pace was slowed by the two pregnant members of the group. Flurry occasionally took flight to keep up, but the extra weight she wasn’t used to carrying made keeping it up difficult. The effort was more noticeable for the flightless Bonbon. She waddled along, with Vinyl hovering close for assistance and protection if need be. Flurry could tell the agent was frustrated being so dependant. She did too, but she didn’t want to cause a scene knowing that, of the two of them, the princess got off easier.

After hours of winding tunnels and caverns, Starlight brought the party to a rest in a small alcove adorning a large tunnel. As the others began setting their equipment down and resting, Starlight pulled out an old map of Equestria and a small crystal on a string. Flurry immediately recognised what her aunt was doing as the crystal glowed a low shade that matched the aqua of Starlight’s magic, but it circled on its own and pulled the string taut over an area south-east of Dodge City, near the entrance to the Badlands.

“We made pretty good progress, huh?” Vinyl spoke cheerfully, but Starlight shook her head.

“Not as much as I would’ve liked. It means we’ll need to run the risk of one of you two facing Rarity again.” Bonbon and Vinyl looked at one another at this revelation, but the DJ waved it off.

“Aw, don’t sweat it. If Rarity tries messing with my dreams, I’ll knock her back to her senses.” As the alabaster unicorn proudly proclaimed this, Flurry noticed zap looking up at nothing on the tunnel ceiling.

“Hey, you okay?” She asked, rousing the pegasus from her daydream.

“Oh. Oh, yeah, Ah’m fine.” The doubt in Flurry’s expression almost made Zap wince. “Okay, it’s just… Mah brother and uncle are meant to be up there, in Dodge City. I jus’ hope he’s doin’ okay. Ah hope they’re all doin’ okay… Ah’ve never been away from home this long b’fore.” The Apple hugged her knees to her chest, her thoughts dwelling on her family. So it came as a surprise when something soft encircled her shoulders. Rapidly looking to her left, she saw Flurry had extended a wing around her, pulling the pegasus into a side-on hug.

“I’m sure they’re doing fine.” The princess responded with a kind smile. “If they’re even half as tough as you, they should have no problems.” This brought a blush to Zap’s face, but she slowly smiled and leaned into the embrace. Another burst of emerald flames revealed another pouch from the Crystal Empire, this one containing another dream amulet.

“Alright,” Starlight spoke up as she held up the new item. “Which one of you two gets this one?” Bonbon and Vinyl looked at each other once more, but it took only a second of thought for Vinyl to step back and point at the earth pony.

“A-Are you sure?” Bonbon asked, surprise and uncertainty wavering in her voice.

“Hey, you’ve already had to deal with Rarity gunning for you.” Vinyl explained. “It’s about time she gets stopped. Besides, I’m sure I can hold my own.”

With the decision made, Bonbon took the amulet from Starlight and clasped it firmly around my neck, the act already putting her mind at ease. The five ate and relaxed as much as they could given where they were, but eventually the stalling had to end and they needed their sleep. Starlight cast the illusion spell, as if on autopilot, and the five mares returned to slumber, wishing Vinyl the best before they fell asleep.

When Vinyl’s eyes opened, the slow fog of drowsiness lingered for but a moment before her brain caught up and banished the sleep to the abyss. Eyes wide in growing confusion and fear, she swivelled her head around at rapid speed to assess her situation. She was stark naked, the musical note of her cutie mark visible to all as she was suspended in the air. Her wrists and ankles were bound in ropes behind her, connected to the shadowy ceiling. Her muffled cries of confusion, anger and fear were muffled with a bag gag, and she felt the cool metal of a ring around her horn. When she tried lighting her magic, however, it instead hammered a spike of pain into her brain.

“Oh no, no, no, darling,” a familiar voice chuckled. “I’m afraid you aren’t getting out of this that easily.”

Looking to her left, Vinyl saw the voluptuous form of Nightmare Rarity standing on a nearby catwalk, a smug grin upon her face as she beheld the helpless unicorn. Vinyl tried to shout at the fashionista, to break free, anything. But her restraints held firm, and her efforts only drew another bout of tittering laughter from her captor.

“Oh really, Vinyl. Did you think I wouldn’t find your dreams eventually? Why, with all that boisterous talk of ‘holding your own,’ I thought dealing with you would be harder than this. Oh well.” Rarity walked around the square path, circling the bound DJ and drinking in the resistance of her prey. “But whatever the others told you, I can promise that all I want to do is give you absolute pleasure…” Rarity’s grin grew more sinister at this, her glimmering hair bobbing and moving like a living field of stars. “…and you seem very easy to please.”

Looking down, Vinyl saw what Rarity meant. Below her in a massive pen were a couple dozen mares. They were bunched together like cattle; standing close as they looked up and mooed in lusty tones. But it wasn’t the state of these unfortunate mares that shocked Vinyl into stillness. It was who they were. ALL of them.

“Octavia…?” Vinyl’s thoughts asked, feeling the burning of tears building up behind her eyes. Each and every single pony below the unicorn was her celloist friend, though each iteration of her was different from the friend she knew. All of these Octavias were wearing black sleeves and thigh-high stockings, as well as headbands with cow horns on them. This helped the perception of cattle, but nowhere near as much as what held Vinyl’s attention. Their chests. All of the Octavias below had a massive bosom, the once constantly-hidden D cups had been grown to Fs, maybe even Gs, and their nipples were dribbling lactic liquid down their rounded grey surfaces.

“Enjoying the view?” Vinyl had to shake her head before looking at Rarity, the corrupted mare’s constant grin evidence she was aware of Vinyl’s mental slip. She couldn’t deny it. Deep down, she’d always wanted to see, feel and touch Octavia intimately. But the earth pony’s reserved nature and Vinyl not wishing to ruin their friendship always held this desire back. Still, despite knowing giving in to Rarity now wasn’t right, the unicorn couldn’t help but stare when an old sexual fantasy of hers was now eagerly awaiting her down below.

“How about a closer look?”

A muffled gasp of shock was all Vinyl could offer in response as Rarity pulled down a lever, lowering the unicorn down towards the many copies of her long-lost friend. All Octavias noticed Vinyl being lowered, bunching together like the mindless livestock in the hopes of reaching her first. Vinyl’s descent stopped just shy of the herd’s eye level, and it was here the DJ noticed they, like her, were restrained with handcuffs holding their arms behind their backs.

As one, they piled in, moos echoing in the pen as Vinyl felt tongues all over her body. Kissing, licking, suckling. Any and every way the Octavias could leave their saliva over the DJ, they did. Vinyl moaned in protest as, with her nipples being taken as they were suckled and toyed with by skilled tongues, other eager mouths began sucking on select points of her midriff and stomach. They pulled on her alabaster skin; a little more give displayed each time. Another muffled moan escaped her, answered by the moos of those on the outer, unable to join in. One Octavia took this as a sign Vinyl wanted more, and shoved her way between her legs to start lapping at the lower lips leaking love juices. A muted shriek of pleasure was ripped out of Vinyl, her body jostling in her restraints as it felt like her stomach was being pulled apart by those beneath her.

“Alright. Let’s see how your makeover’s coming along.”

Rarity’s check-in was the only warning Vinyl had before she was slowly raised from the love those mouths lavished her in, though she nearly missed it from the pleasure clouding her mind. Her breaths came short and heavy through her nostrils, as the desperate moans and moos of the herd below both pained Vinyl for what Rarity had done to Octavia in this dream, and the latent desire to be allowed in that see of sex once more. Shaking her head, Vinyl fought to drown those thoughts as Rarity squatted down.

“Hmm, I say,” the fashionista pondered with a knowing smile, a hand holding her chin in mock thought. “You might not have their size or milk, darling, but you certainly have the numbers in this line of work.” Struggling to catch her breath, Vinyl looked down at her body at Rarity’s suggestion, and her fears rose even higher.

Lining the musician’s body all the way down to her crotch were an extra three pairs of C-cup breasts, giving her eight in total. Had she been standing, Vinyl’s lowest pair would’ve been obscuring her obscenely wet slit. Her breathing slowly escaping her control, Vinyl looked back to see the hungry look in Rarity’s eyes, and she felt any bravado from before this dream disintegrate into nothing. The corrupted unicorn suddenly looked away, as if somepony had called her name, and that smile grew in its malice; a feat Vinyl had thought was impossible by now. Almost as impossible as it was to believe this mare had once been Ponyville’s generous seamstress extraordinaire.

“I’m afraid I’m needed elsewhere, darling,” Rarity explained as she stood back up, her hand returning to the lever. “I’ll leave you and your fellow cows to get to know each other better. Ta-ta, darling!” With ease, the former fashionista slammed the lever down hard enough to snap it. Vinyl’s muffled cry rang out as she fell to the ground. Her limbs were finally freed of their restraints, but looking up, she saw that the restraints of all the Octavia copies were also undone.

And each one of them looked down at Vinyl with an insatiable, carnal hunger.

“O-Octi-AH!”

Before she could even plead her case, the herd of horny mares fell upon her. Each of her now eight nipples found a home within the wet confines of earth pony mouths, their tongues dancing over her stiff nubs and areola. Her limbs were held straight, with her fingers and toes being sucked while her arms and legs were grinded against by soaking snatches. One brave Octavia breathed huskily against Vinyl’s exposed marehood before tracing her labia and teasing her clit with their tongue. Vinyl was again struggling to breathe before another Octavia removed the gag.

“Hah, hah, O-oct-MMNF!”

Again, Vinyl wasn’t able to beg for mercy. With a lewd expression bordering on fanatical, the Octavia lowered herself onto Vinyl’s face; burying the DJ’s muzzle in earth pony pussy. The scent of female juices flooded Vinyl’s senses, making the already difficult task of maintaining her will that much more insurmountable. On instinct, her tongue ventured out and into Octavia’s depths. The cries of ecstasy above her wailing out in the pen as Vinyl’s exploration soon found the celloist’s G spot and focussed on it.

“Hah! Ha-nng-AHH! Hah! T-That’s it, Vinyl! R-Right there-AARGH!” The Octavia getting off on her face cried out, drowning out the moos and moans of all her copies as she gripped her huge melons hard enough for them to spray milk everywhere. Vinyl lost sight of her as a set of huge grey breasts blocked her sight. They wrapped around her horn and proceeded giving her a horn job; something Vinyl thought she’d never get the chance to do.

More and more mares were piling in on top of the unicorn. If one were to look from the catwalks above, they wouldn’t be able to see her beneath the horny mass of musicians grinding upon her. Multiple Octavias took to pleasuring themselves and each other on her limbs. Those that couldn’t secure a nipple to suckle at settled for motorboating one of the many new crevices of cleavage upon her chest. Another mare had joined the first in lapping up as much of Vinyls’ cascading femcum as possible. The DJ was losing herself at this point. She knew she needed to resist, to fight against the dream Rarity had manufactured. But all this pleasure. Vinyl had partaken in many adult-only events in her heyday, and none of them came even remotely close to this level of pleasure. Her will crumbled away with each lick, each kiss and each swing of thick earth pony hips.

When Vinyl came, it crashed through her like a tidal wave; her body spasming and her pussy squirting even as the herd above her continued the assault. With no hope of escaping this, Vinyl’s consciousness faded beneath the waves of pleasure.

“H-Hello…? Is anypony here?”

The abandoned post office offered no response as Dinky Doo entered. She hesitated at the door, but a chilly breeze running across her bare back got her moving inside. She had no clue as to how she got here, where Rumble had disappeared to, or even why all of her equipment, supplies and even clothes had vanished, but something in this ruined building was calling to her. She cautiously shuffled past the service desk and crept towards the hallway leading further in. She leant her whole body against the wall for support; her tail tucked between her legs to cover her privates, while both hands hid the unusually large areola of her D cup breasts. They were the one thing she inherited from her mother she didn’t like; how her nipples were too sensitive and her boobs big some a mare her age. Rumours persisted she wasn’t as pure as she claimed, and that she was a spy, but every time she was confronted, Sparkler had always been there to stand up for her.

“Sparkler…” Dinky muttered as her thoughts turned to her sister. She regretted how their last conversation ended, but she’d committed to doing this. Bumping into Rumble and the two of them having essentially the same plan was a pair of happy coincidences. Realising her thoughts had gotten off track, Dinky shook her head and refocussed on her surroundings.

“H-Hello?”

A weak voice called out from a few doors down. Despite the faint volume, Dinky’s pulse rapidly picked up the pace as her heart clambered into her mouth. Only one mare had a voice that familiarly comforting. Abandoning the cause of keeping her chest decent, Dinky ran to the door and looked in, her eyes already beginning to sting with tears building up.

There, kneeling on the floor in the corner of the break room, was a grey pegasus with a messy blonde mane and tail. She wore nothing save cow-print sleeves and thigh-high stockings, as well as a red collar with a bell on it. Her thighs were thicker and her breasts larger than Dinky remembered, but the cutie mark of a swarm of bubbles, as well as one look into the lopsided golden eyes that stared back at her, removed any shadow of doubt.

“M-Mom?” Dinky stuttered, stepping into the room and staring at the older mare, almost as if blinking would cause her to vanish. Yet she remained. Furthermore, she raised her hands to her muzzle, eyes beginning to water as well.

“D-Dinky? Is that you?”

“Mom!”

All thoughts of caution were thrown to the wind as the unicorn ran into the room and collapsed into a tight embrace with her mother. The two mares cried as they nuzzled against one another for the first time in many years. Derpy Hooves’ body may have become plusher over that time, but Dinky was just glad to hold her mother once more.

“Sweetie, w-what are you doing here?” Derpy asked. “H-H-How did you find me?”

“I… I’m not sure how I got here,” Dinky responded as she was pulled out of the hug, the older pegasus holding her daughter’s face in her hands. “But I came here to bring you home. Sparkler and I missed you so much. But you’re safe now.”

The older mare simply smiled and pulled Dinky in to kiss her just beneath the horn like she used to. “I thought I’d never get to see you again… I’ve missed you so much, Dinky.”

“I’ve missed you too, Mom.” Dinky answered and the two hugged each other again. The unicorn was losing track of how long they had been sitting in that spot, but she didn’t care. All that mattered to her right now was her mother was safe and sound.

“Come on,” Dinky spoke up as she stood, still holding her mother’s hand. “We need to get you somewhere safe. Then we can catch up on everything you’ve missed.” The pegasus was helped to her feet by her daughter, swaying a moment due to her full breasts, but a smile showed she was stable and in control. Dinky smiled back and turned to lead them outside.

Only to discover the door was gone.

Confusion paralysed Dinky. So much so that she had no warning as she was swung by the arm into the break room wall. She opened her eyes, only to see a wall of grey titflesh crash into her face. Her hands were held against the wall above her head, as her attempts to breathe through these massive boobs inadvertently resulted in her motorboating their owner. She finally managed to slip her hands free and push her assailant away, giving her enough room to breathe and catch a glimpse of her foe.

It was Derpy.

“M-Mom…?” Dinky asked, confusion, pain and betrayal all fighting for control in her mind. “W-What are you-mmnf!”

Derpy regained her grip on Dinky’s wrists, pinning back against the wall as she rammed her nipple straight into the unicorn’s mouth. With the boob pressed against her so firmly, she couldn’t turn her head to free herself. Within seconds, the milk began to flow. It filled Dinky’s cheeks until she had no choice but to either swallow or drown. So she swallowed, only for even more milk to spray in. It was never-ending. Her mother’s milk just didn’t stop. Her mind, her strength, her will to resist, it all started ebbing away with each gulp of dairy goodness.

“There we are,” Derpy cooed as she finally pulled back her tit. Dinky’s muzzle was covered in milk, her eyes unfocused as her mother leaned in and invaded her mouth with a deep kiss. At first Dinky’s tongue remained limp, like dough against her parent’s intruder. But, as Derpy released her wrists and slowly guided the unicorn down to the floor, she began kissing back. Weakly, but this gave Derpy a moment of pause. She smiled all the sweeter, diving back in to savour the taste of her milk on Dinky’s tongue once again. Pulling back again, Dinky gasped for air as Derpy’s hands found her boobs, squeezing and caressing them.

“Just rest, sweetie.” Derpy said airily, pushing a finger to Dinky’s wet lips. “Let Mommy do all the work.”

Planting her wide hips down across Dinky’s belly, Derpy reached down and began playing with her daughter’s nipples. Dinky’s panting cries were drenched in lust as her mother rolled those ultra-sensitive nubs between her thumb and forefinger. She bent down and began tracing the wide areola with her tongue, forcing Dinky’s head back with a cry from the sheer sensation. The pegasus moved over to the other nipple and sucked on it; releasing it with a wet pop before sucking down on it again. The unicorn’s cries for mercy, interspersed between short gasps for air, went unheeded as Derpy rose onto her hands and knees over her daughter again.

“Hah, hah, M-Mom… Hah, w-wha-TAHAAAHH!”

Dinky’s question was drowned out in her cries of ecstasy Derpy shone her radiant smile as she flicked her daughter’s nipples with her own. The milky nubs flicked against Dinky’s, the shock of sexual energy forcing out each pant of desire from the young mare as her lower lips were overflowing with juices.

Still grinning, Derpy gave each lubricated teat a kiss before leaving a trail of them and milk down her daughter’s torso towards her crotch. As Dinky struggled to think, to breathe with all the pleasure flooding her brain and body, she thought she saw something. A flicker of something dark flash across her mother’s face. This shone a lit within her dim mind, illuminating a fact that made sense, and she grabbed onto that sense with all her might.

This couldn’t be her mother.

With this fact firming more and more, it made her angry that she was fooled in such a way, and so easily. But even more than that, it made her angry her mother’s image was used in such a manner to get to her. As this imposter spread her legs, Dinky mustered what physical strength she could. She pulled her legs back, further than her fake mother intended, and planted both feet into their face with enough force to push them back.

The imposter sat back up, a flicker of anger shifting over her face, as well as a split-second window to the face beneath the mask. That anger turned to shock, when they saw a dull-gold light emanating from Dinky’s horn.

“NO!” They shouted, reaching out.

But it was too late. In a flash, Dinky disappeared.

Dinky shot to a sitting position, her breath as short as it was in the nightmare. Her eyes darting around in search of danger, her breathing finally begins to slow when her vision adjusts to the dark.

It’s still deep in the night at the campsite she and Rumble had hidden the entire day. After teleporting the two of them as far south as Galloping Gorge, Dinky was spent. So, Rumble had set up the camp in a manner to give them the best possible cover, and watched over her while she rested. Looking to her left, she saw the confident pegasus stallion still sleeping soundly; her panicked awakening not having roused him. She looked down to see all of her clothing and equipment was still there, though there was a concerning wet patch in the crotch of her dark pants, and she could feel her sensitive nipples sticking out against the fabric of her white shirt, even if it was hidden beneath a navy-blue hoodie.

But why…? Dinky thought to herself. Sure, she’d had the odd wet dream or two these past years. Who hadn’t? But a dream as visceral, as powerfully erotic, as… good as that? And the fact that it focussed on her mother…

Shaking herself out of those thoughts, Dinky’s concern grew a little as she found her hand had subconsciously moved to feel her wet pants. Immediately flinging the hand away, she quickly used her magic to dry her clothes, even if the magic tingled against her panties. She looked back to Rumble, not even the glow of her magic waking him up. Taking a deep breath and looking up at the stars twinkling above, her gaze inevitably swung south, where it soon became engulfed behind muted pink clouds.

Hang on, Mom, Dinky called out mentally, hoping her mother could hear her in her dreams. I’m on my way.

In the back of her mind, Zap knew something was off. A slithering sound cut through the fog of slumber and she slowly opened her eyes. When a long, thin, shadowy thing hung before her, her instincts forced her wide awake. She immediately rolled, hearing an impact where mere moments before she had been sleeping, and flew a few feet away into a standing position.

There she saw, with growing shock, horror, and anger, who was disturbing their slumber.

Filling most of the wide tunnel the group had been travelling in was a massive pony/monster hybrid. This one had the upper body of a pony; one that was both androgynous and overweight, with ratty orange hair haphazardly resting over sickly green skin. They held a large wooden staff where the end was covered in mould and rot, wisps of green energy wafting off it. Their purple eyes looked down upon the scene from thin stalks, while flies buzzed around their body. The lower half of said body, however, was that of a giant slug. A veritable forest of mushroom-tipped tentacles sprang from the slugs’ back, and only now did the alarmed cries of her friends reach Zap’s ears over the adrenaline. Flurry Heart, Starlight Glimmer and Bonbon were all held aloft in the slimy tendrils, their limbs all restrained. Meanwhile, Vinyl Scratch was already strapped down onto the monster’s back; the pegasus spotting an extra six breasts lining the unconscious unicorn’s torso.

“Ah, what lovely specimens you all are…” this monster spoke, its voice was a raspy thing and its breath smelling putrid, even from the distance Zap was at. “A shame your illusion was too easy to break. I was hoping for at least some challenge.” As the beast spoke, the slime coating its body and limbs was eating away at the clothes of the captured mares. Though not wearing much to begin with, Flurry looked on in despair as what meagre fabric covered her body melted into nothing, as did the clothing for all of them save Zap. At the very least, their dream amulets weren’t disintegrating.

“Hey! Let ma friends go, you fat fuck!” Zap yelled, wings flared and fists raised.

“Hmm, such disrespect.” The disgusting being responded slowly as their captives writhed futilely. “You are speaking to Suhpyt; emissary of decay and chief cleric of Prince Noiratrom.”

“Ah don’t care who ya serve, you’re gonna regret takin’ mah friends like that.” Zap dropped into a three-point stance before launching into the air. Within the span of seconds, she crossed the distance and swung a lightning-fast fist to the flabby cheek of Suhpyt. A flicker of rage passed over the monsters’ face as the many tentacles from their back swarm forward. Zap flies back and leads the limbs away in a manic chase.

With Zap’s strike, it gave Starlight just enough of an opening to teleport out of the slimy grasp. Regaining her breath, she looked up at the other two trapped mares to see the appendages. Flurry grit her teeth, but each attempt to follow her aunt’s lead was derailed when a tendril ground against her pussy. Her J cups immediately became a target for fondling, before they were coiled tightly together.

“A-Ah! Mmnf! S-Stop i-HHHMMF!” Flurry’s demands for freedom were cut off as another tentacle slid into her cleavage before forcing itself into her mouth. Her protests muffled by her phallic intruder; the young princess despaired as the boobjob/blowjob combination was accelerating the rise of the heat in her core.

“Hahh! Ah! P-Please…! Please st-AH!” Meanwhile, Bonbon’s screams were tinged with growing lust as her tail was held up by one tentacle while another whipped her presented flanks. Her candy cutie marked backside was growing redder with each strike, the sound echoing out through the tunnel alongside her screams. Said screams were muffled when another tentacle found its way into the agent’s mouth. She almost felt like retching at the taste of the slime on the limb invading her mouth, yet she couldn’t help but feel the heat in her body rise, regardless of how much, or maybe because of, she thought of Lyra. As the earth pony realised this, she tried shaking the thoughts out of her head, only to realise it was harder than before. Refocussing her sights forward, she watched as a familiar sight grew into view.

Her lips.

Her eyes widening, her focus was disrupted when the next whip blow cracking across her ass. Bonbon couldn’t help but cry and offer muffled whimpers as her lips once more grew to their previous size; obscuring her entire head from sight.

“Hold on, girls!” Starlight called out, raising her staff to free her companions. The tip of her staff copied the glow emanating from her horn as a teal beam shot towards the tendrils committing the rape. But a green ripple in the air dissipated the shot, and Starlight looked over to the grinning face of Suhpyt; their own staff radiating a dull green light.

“That was quite the clever trick,” the monster complimented in a condescending tone. “But you’re not the only one with magic here.”

The sickly staff glowed green again, and Starlight was forcibly teleported back into the air. She was immediately snapped up by the tendrils once more, and they wasted no time in toying with her body.

“I said let them go!” Zap roared as she came in for another attack, trying to free her friends. But Suhpyt was ready for her this time, and only the orange pegasus’ acrobatic skill kept her from joining the others in the impromptu orgy.

Starlight reached for Zap, but cried out as a tentacle wormed its way inside her pussy. While the milk in her chest had occupied most of the mages’ concerns, this new intruder brought to Starlight’s attention an unfortunate reality; her pussy had grown far looser than when this quest had begun. The fact that it took a second limb entering her passage for it to feel tight heightened her fears. Fears that, should she live to return to the Crystal Empire, Sunburst and Trixie might think her a harlot for how she had been changed. This train of thought was derailed as two tentacles opened their tips to reveal see-through suction cups, and firmly attached themselves to her nipples. The suction pulled intensely on her teats; her breasts pulled taut as the milk within refused to come out.

Flurry fared no better. The intruder in her mouth twitched before unloading a torrent of sperm down her throat and, as it pulled out, on her face and chest. It tasted foul, yet it only made the heat, the yearning, within her body all the more potent. The alicorn sputtered and coughed as she tried to regain her breath, but failed almost immediately as another tentacle entered her inexperienced vagina. The pace was fast and intense from the get go. Despite Flurry’s insides clenching tightly against it, the cock hammered away with enough force to swing the princess’ tits up and down, slapping against her swollen stomach.

As for Bonbon, she couldn’t even voice her pleas for mercy as now all three of her holes were filled with slimy tentacles. While two cocks stimulated the thin membrane separating her pussy and asshole, the agent’s wide lips played host to two separate guests. They both thrust and jabbed at the back of her throat, wanting to simultaneously go further despite her windpipe not being large enough to accommodate them. Her tears wouldn’t stop, blinding her almost as much as her impossibly large lips. They just felt so… good. Her lips, her pussy, her ass. It all just felt so good. She tried to hold onto the image of Lyra, before the fall of Equestria. Of the pure moments of love the two of them shared. But any and all attempts to hold off the approaching high were in vain. With a muffled moan, Bonbon came. Hard. Semen flooded into each of her holes; her stomach and ass, already occupied with eggs from Pinkie’s clone, were now filling with sickening semen, while twice that amount was flowing down her throat and threatening to drown her in cum. As the tentacles retreated from Bonbon’s body, so too did the monster sperm escape her holes as she was carried over and strapped against the slug back of Suhpyt next to Vinyl.

Suhpyt, grinning at the addition of another trophy, failed to keep a stalk-mounted eye on the only free pony. They would regret this as Zap rebounded off the roof of the tunnel to deliver a kick to the face powerful enough to stagger the monster for a moment. Again, she rainbow-maned mare evaded retaliatory attempts to ensnare her, much to the slug-pony’s agitation. But as Zap grins, feeling confidence well up inside her, her eyes drift over and she sees it.

Flurry’s face said it all. Her cheeks were doused in heavy lust-fuelled blush. Her eyes were rolling up into her head as her mouth hung open, with all manner of sounds escaping her. Her tight passage was hammered again and again. Her breasts were coated in sperm and sweat, creating a sickly wet slapping sound each time they bounced onto her bloated belly. Then it happened. Flurry’s cries grew louder and louder, until eventually her orgasmic scream reverberated loudly throughout the tunnel. Her body twitched as bulges of semen were funnelled through the cock and up into her already-occupied womb.

As the alicorn is taken to join Bonbon and Vinyl, disgusting sperm spilling down her thighs, Zap saw Starlight still shaking her head in resistance. But it was clear the unicorn was nearing her limit as well. Her boobs were coiled around by more limbs as they tried coaxing out her milk in concert with the suction cups, but still they remained dry. More concerning was the third cock that squeezed its way inside her pussy. The stiff members could be seen beneath her skin as they distended her belly with their pistoning, shaking the unicorn in place as her cries were changing in tone to something more carnal.

“Keep your eyes on me, you pest!”

Suhpyt’s insult snapped Zap back to reality. She looked and saw the obese beast wave their staff. A wave of green energy pulsed out and crashed into the flier. Instantly Zap experienced the worst bout of nausea she had ever felt in her life. She was so dizzy she soon fell to the ground, tumbling on the rocky floor. Shaking her head, she looked up and rolled to the side as fast as she could, as more tendrils slammed into where she had been like when this encounter began. She scrambled to her feet and tried taking off again, but the nausea struck once more and she couldn’t get airborne. She looked back and saw the tentacles closing in, as well as Suhpyt’s fat face and smug smile at their inevitable victory.

So, it was a surprise to both when Starlight teleported between the two and, using her staff to keep herself upright, summoned a dome shield that protected herself and Zap from the tendrils. Zap was stunned by the strength displayed by Starlight, despite the trembling knees and inner thighs coated in love juices.

“Give, ugh, them Tartarus.” The unicorn muttered, keeping her focus on the shield. Zap nodded and, shaking off the last of the nausea, took flight. She phased through the shield, weaved in-between swarming tentacles, and spun mid-air to build up momentum. The punch she landed, this time directly to one of Suhpyt’s eyes, elicited a great cry of pain from the monster, and Zap had learned by now not to stay put against this foe. She darted around the limited spaces available, tentacles chasing her everywhere she went. But they weren’t able to catch her, and Zap dipped down to the ground just in-front of Suhpyt, launching straight up and delivering a savage uppercut to their double chin before kicking off their face to gain distance again.

Starlight, meanwhile, managed to hold her shield against the barrage of grasping tendrils. When Zap landed her latest blow, Starlight noticed a brief opening and took full advantage of it. She stretched out an arm and, opening a small hole in the barrier, shot a blast of teal magic directly into the slug monsters’ stomach. Suhpyt doubled over as the impact, and when they straightened up again, both free mares could see a large scorch mark where Starlight had made impact. They could also see the monster’s face scrunching up in an expression of pure frustration.

“ENOUGH!”

With that mighty roar, Suhpyt swung their staff and unleashed another wave of foul magic. The wave passes over both mares and, while Starlight only felt the nausea set in but powered on through to maintain her shield, Zap was once more brought down. But as she doubles over on the ground, something inside her feels different. A surge of change felt like it had been bubbling within her, and only now it was surging out. It started with her hands. Her brass knuckles slowly slid off her fingers as large orange feathers began pushing through her coat. Zap was paralysed by both fear and pain as her arms soon disappeared, transforming into a larger second pair of wings. She felt a similar pain spreading through her mane and tail, but not as intense. One look revealed a similar change was turning her hair into multi-coloured plumage to match her new wings. Finally, her coat from her knees down hardened. A splitting pain erupted from her feet before her boots were shredded from within. A pained gasp escaped Zap as she saw her normal feet had been replaced with avian talons.

So awe-struck by her transformation, Zap didn’t have time to react when Suhpyt finally coiled her tentacles around her. The slime ate through her clothes, leaving her as naked as the others and revealing to the world her cutie mark; a rainbow-coloured apple with wings on either side. Suhpyt chuckled as their tentacles went to work; stroking and groping the athletic Apple all over her body. As she was drawn closer to the monstrous face she had been striking all this time, the beast grinned as tendrils pulled at the stiffening nipples of her B cup breasts. Licking their lips, Suhpyt extended a long, bumpy, lavender tongue and began lapping at Zap’s unspoiled marehood. Feelings Zap had never experienced before rendered her helpless, her will to fight fading rapidly as the pleasure continued to be applied.

“Mmm, delicious…” the monster mused, looking up at Zap with a hungry expression, though there was certainly an edge of steel to the look in those purple eyes. Time for the main course.” Zap looked down and her eyes widened in abject dread. There, hovering less than an inch before her pussy, was one of those tentacles that had been chasing her all over the place.

“N-No… P-please, d-don’t do iiiiiIIIIIIIIITTTTT-AAAARGH!”

Applejack shot up to a sitting position, the sheets falling off her body as a chill ran down the earth pony’s spine. Not just that, a pain stabbed at her heart, or perhaps her very soul. It wasn’t the corruption seeping back in, but… it felt worse. Ignoring the feeling of fullness from the cider still locked within her bosom, ignoring the numerous buckets beside her bed for emptying said bosom, Applejack walked over to the window and looked outside. The night sky twinkled and shone above a slumbering Appleloosa, members of Cortland’s pack standing guard on the perimeter.

But none of that mattered to Applejack right now. Her gaze was cast further afield, beyond the town’s borders. The pain in her heart felt so visceral, and there was only one thing, one worry, running through her mind as she witnessed a tear escape her emerald eyes through her reflection in the window.

“…Zap…”

Zap struggled to focus on anything other than the invader tearing her insides apart. The pain immobilised her whole body as Suhpyt’s tentacle cock moulded her pussy to its shape. Soon, the stabbing pain faded into a pleasure unlike any the Apple had every experienced before. Even so, she knew this was wrong. Why else would Flurry fight against it so hard? It had to be wrong… right?

“Zap!” Starlight yelled, concern driving her to try find another opening to blast the monster, but a crack distracted her as the continuous assault on her barrier had formed a fracture. Seconds later, the horde of tendrils broke through, and Starlight barely had enough time to teleport away. She aimed for the appendages holding and violating Zap, but the ones pursuing her were faster than the unicorn gave them credit. Whipping her, Starlight fell, though was immediately caught and raised up alongside the pegasus before Suhpyt’s ugly face.

“Finally,” they muttered wearily as they began slithering slowly away from the campsite. “You two have been more trouble than I anticipated. But, it’s over. Time to join your friends.”

With that declaration, three tentacles surged forward and jammed themselves into Starlight’s vagina at the same time. The unicorn cried out, but their voice became muffled as Suhpyt stretching tongue entered Starlight’s mouth in a disgustingly mutant kiss. The taste of their saliva made the mage want to vomit, but also made her weakened will crave more. Two more tendrils returned to her breasts, suction cups once more attaching themselves to her hard nipples. The pull from them this time was three times as severe, pushing Starlight’s weary mind over the edge of orgasm. For as loose as her pussy had become since the beginning of their quest, the unicorn’s pussy clamped down as hard as it could around the three cocks within her. Her body spasmed and, finally, milk erupted from her nipples like they were ejaculating cocks of her own.

As Suhpyt grinned sickly at the sight and brought the fallen mage down to lay captured with her companions, Zap could only weep. She had been changed. Her virginity had been stolen, and her friends were beaten. Flurry had been beaten. Shame filled Zap’s heart as she was lowered towards them as well in preparation for her eventual defeat. Or maybe Suhpyt was messing with her? It didn’t matter. Zap closed her eyes, tears rolling down her face as the pleasure and heat in her body climbed higher and higher.

Ah’m sorry Flurry… Ma… Ah… Ah’m sorry…

As she gave up, a memory flashed onto centre stage of her mind’s eye. Of her and her mother, Applejack, sitting in the parent’s bedroom the night before the group left Appleloosa.

Now Zap, you may have your mom’s speed and ma strength, and you’re as stubborn as the both o’ us. But the thing that’ll hold you in good stead no matter what is this. She poked Zap’s chest, right above the pegasus’ heart. Never forget what you’re fightin’ for, and who you’re fightin’ for.

As she opened her watery eyes, she found herself held over the blushing features of Flurry Heart, unconscious and unaware of the group’s precarious position. Seeing her friend like this, it sparked something within the pegasus. Something that burned hotter than the pleasure coursing through her system.

Righteous fury.

Suhpyt roared in surprise and pain, stopping as they slowly turned their torso a hundred and eighty degrees.

“What now?!” They huffed, but the fire in their voice was doused at what they saw. The pesky flier had freed herself; her new avian claws coated in black blood as she slowly stood up surrounded by the shredded remnants of the tentacles that had held her. As those magenta eyes glared back at them, Suhpyt felt a chill of both fear and, strangely, familiarity.

“W-Who are you?” They asked, turning their whole body around to face the orange pegasus, who was shuddering in what could only be rage.

“Ah am Zap Apple,” she declared in a venomous tone. “Daughter of Applejack an’ Rainbow Dash, though you prob’ly know ‘em better as Bad Apple an’ Spectrum Blast.” Had she not been so furious, Zap might have soaked in the fear that was dawning upon the slug monster’s fat face. “And you will never hurt anypony Ah care ‘bout ever again.”

Lowering her stance, Zap raised her new feathery arms and pushed them down in one almighty flap alongside her original wings. She shot forward, faster than she had ever flown before, and raised her claws to the beast before her. A jarring impact shuddered the flier and she soon fell back to the ground again, exhausted from the short burst of speed. Wearily looking back up, she found herself on the opposite side of Suhpyt. Furthermore, the slug monster was stock still, looking back at her with a shocked expression on their face. Their breath escaped their large lips in stilted gasps as a miniature flood of monster blood spilled out the massive gashes in their fatty neck. The two remained in this staring contest for a moment or two more, before Suhpyt fell down face first. They lay unmoving as the hordes of tentacles behind them fell limply to the floor.

The danger seemingly over, Zap simply sat there catching her breath as the adrenaline ebbed away. Slowly she looked down at her changed body. The large feathers coating her arms, and her legs covered in blood of two different hues; black on her claws and bird-like feet, and red on the inside of her thighs and around her now deflowered pussy. Seeing this once again, Zap’s emotions finally overwhelmed her and she simply cried, letting everything out in the darkness of the tunnel.

Sorry for the delay guys. Had a lot of things going on and this chapter was really hard to get around to writing.

...Well... That battle could've gone better.
Rarity gets seemingly one last hurrah with the main party, with Vinyl finally getting corrupted in a dream. As for the intrusion of Suhpyt, that was an unlucky accident as Starlight rolled a Nat1 on casting the illusions. Suhpyt wouldn't have shown up otherwise. You would not believe how close we were to a bad ending this time. Had Zap failed that last Will check, it would've been over. And Suhpyt just wouldn't die! They spent four rounds on 1 HP before Zap finally took them down.
And speaking of Zap, someone's harpy genes finally kicked in. One of the corruption options is monster transformation and, wouldn't you know it, Zap got the harpy option to be just like her avian mum.

Another thing the party now has to deal with is these end of week corruption changes. These were alluded to in Pinkamena's warning from earlier. For each week our heroes spend in Equestria, their base corruption levels will increase by one for all corruptions. Take Starlight for example. Now, her base breast size is a D, while she will now always have one stage of lactation. These changes are also permanent. The reformation gems do nothing for end of week changes.
I should point out that, given she's lived her whole life in this perverted Equestria, Zap will take a lot longer for the corruption to permanently affect her. So, she'll only have her base corruption level raised after three weeks instead of one.

So yeah... situation could be better.

Onto the polls and these were some interesting votes. The first action option was a pretty tight race, but eventually scouting out the rest of the mines pulled away. It was more interesting in the second action, with Manehatten and the Everfree going neck and neck. Ultimately, Manehatten pulled ahead as well. While the item was fairly obvious that we weren't getting all gems, it was again neck and neck for using them, with the no vote eventually winning out. There was some annoyance in readers about having to vote for the gems when they didn't want to, and that shall be taken care of should this situation rise again.

Action 1:
Rest immediately: 7
Scout out the rest of the mines: 15
Check the situation above ground: 10
Action 2:
Manehatten: 13
Cloudsdale: 8
Everfree Forest: 11
Items:
Request some gems: 20
Request all available gems: 12
Gems:
Yes (on who and how many): 11 (FH: 2:8, 3:2, BB: 1:1, 2:2, 3:1)
No: 21

Now for the new options. Bare in mind the next chapter might take a little longer as I work on the next Meanwhile chapter. While they are optional, it does provide looks at other characters. And, given what's about to happen, this is one Meanwhile chapter you won't want to miss. Shakes up the background of the entire quest, and it's only the beginning.

Action 1:
Travel through the tunnels and the night
Find another part of the tunnels to hide in
Get above ground
Action 2:
Walk to Ponyville
Fly to Ponyville
Teleport to Ponyville
Character:
Allow Zap to remain a harpy for now
Change her back to a pegasus
Gems:
Yes (On who and how many)
No

One last thing before I go, I'd like to address an issue I've noticed about changing votes. Now, you guys are always allowed to change your vote in any category, but often it means I have to back-track through the comments section to make sure I haven't counted someone twice. So going forward, if you're going to change your vote, could you please edit your original comment rather than posting a new one? I constantly check and recount the comments anyway, so an edit won't slip by me, and it makes counting votes so much easier.

As always, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and happy voting!
