Zap wasn’t sure how long she knelt there crying. Pulling her hands, no, the joints of her new wings, away from her wet eyes, she was still coming down from the high of adrenaline and rage that had saved the group. As she realised this, she heard a soft murmur, and looked up to see the rest of her group slowly stirring from their now slack bindings.

“Flurry!” She called out, not caring what heard her as she dashed upon her taloned claws to the alicorn. Flurry was slow to open those sparkling blue eyes, but they immediately latched onto the farm pegasus. “Flurry! You okay?”

“Z-Zap?” She responded weakly. She tried sitting up, but her fatigue and the massive bulge of her bloated stomach made it difficult. A feathered arm hooked behind Flurry’s own wings and aided her to a sitting position. As the princess regained her wits, her eyes widened in concern for her friend. “Zap… what happened to you?”

Zap’s expression of relief faded slightly as she followed Flurry’s gaze down to her own body. “Ah… Ah think that slug did sumthin’… an’ now, Ah resemble mah mom? Ah… Ah don’t know, Flurry… A-Ah…” The orange mare was once more on the verge of tears, but this time Flurry was there to embrace her with both arms and wings. Zap was stunned stiff for a moment, until the dam wall burst again and she wept into the alicorns’ shoulder, hugging her back just as firmly. It didn’t matter to her that Flurry’s massive boobs or pregnant belly were pressing against her. It didn’t matter to her that they were still underground in enemy territory. All that mattered to Zap Apple right now was that she was hurting, and Flurry was wordlessly willing to share the burden.

“A-Ah’m, Ah’m so-”

“It’s okay.” Flurry gently shushed her, stroking her feathery mane before pulling back to look the tearful pegasus in her magenta eyes, holding Zap’s face in her hands. “What happened isn’t your fault. If anything, you saved us, so…” Flurry felt tears building behind her eyes as well, and just pulled Zap in for another hug; one the modified flier swiftly reciprocated.

“Ugh… W-What happened?”

The sluggish voice made the two young mares jump, and they turned around to see their other three companions stirring. Starlight pushed herself up to a sitting state, tenderly brining a hand to her teat to see the milk staining it with a look of fatigued concern. Vinyl, the one who spoke, lifted herself up on her hands and knees rather than sitting up normally. This was due to the extra three pairs of C-cup breasts now adorning her chest and stomach. Clearly Rarity had struck once again, with the DJ’s vagina now obscured by the lowest-hanging set. As for Bonbon, she couldn’t sit up. Like the previous morning, her lips had grown large enough to obscure her entire head. Though, sitting up with such a bloated stomach would’ve been hard regardless.

“Starlight!” Flurry called out, but her efforts to stand were thwarted by her oversized stomach and its fullness. Starlight, hearing the call, slowly stumbled to her hands and knees and crawled over to give her niece a gentle hug. The unicorn spared Zap a grateful look before turning back to Bonbon and Vinyl.

“We, huff, we-we need to… heal up.” Her horn glowing in an aqua aura, Starlight levitated over the bags of the mares from their campsite just down the tunnel. She passed one to Flurry but she and the princess were surprised when Zap refuses.

“Ah’m okay for now.” She explained, nodding over to the secret agent and DJ. “They need ‘em more. Besides, Ah reckon Ah’m more useful like this.”

“You’re sure…?” Flurry asked, and decided not to push it further when the orange mare nodded, flashing a small smile. Starlight nodded in response and moved towards the others. With her magic, she tossed a reformation gem to the now kneeling Vinyl, who caught it before kneeling before the clearly panicked Bonbon.

“Don’t worry, Bonbon. We’ll get you better again.” Starlight said, though it was just as much to calm herself as it was for the earth pony. Like earlier the previous morning, her confidence in the mission, specifically her contributions thus far, was shaken. Pulling two gems out of the bags held in her levitation just to be sure, she pressed them both to Bonbon’s over-inflated lips.

The reformation lit up the tunnel, as did two other bursts of light. Once it faded, Starlight looked down to see Bonbon back to normal. Well, as normal as she had been before this latest attack. Though her lips had been healed a second time, her pregnancy still remained. A quick look revealed that Vinyl’s number of breasts had dropped from eight to five, the fifth one taking the place previously held by her belly button. She also noticed Flurry’s bust had shrunken further down; if Starlight had to guess, the alicorn was currently in possession of G-cups.

“Starlight?” Drawn by the voice, Starlight smiled as Bonbon and helped the agent up to a sitting position. Zap was helping Flurry move closer as Vinyl did so as well. “W-What happened?”

“Zap saved us.” She answered, pulling out one more gem. “That monster must’ve broken through my illusion. Let me just fix myself up and then we can keep moving. The sooner we arrive at Manehatten, the better.”

“Darn right.” Zap chimed in. Smiling at that, the unicorn brought the gem to her own milk-stained bosom. The bright light engulfed the tunnel once more, but when it faded, the relieved expressions Starlight expected to see weren’t there. One look down and she understood why.

Nothing changed. Her breasts looked exactly the same size as before the gem, and she still felt the initial build-up of milk within.

“S-Starlight?” Flurry uttered in a grave tone.

“What the heck?” Vinyl nearly shouted, earning a stern look from Bonbon and Zap. “Why didn’t it work?”

“I… I don’t know…” Starlight stammered, her gaze locked firmly on her chest. She even brought her hands up to cup them, feeling the slight sloshing within and how they were still definitely bigger than they were before leaving the Crystal Empire. “We… We can figure that out later. Right now, we need to move.” Tearing her gaze away from her bosom, the unicorn offered a hand to help Bonbon to her feet. The agent, nodding, took it before her eyes suddenly widened and she shuddered in shock, losing her breath in a forceful gasp. A second gasp sounded out to Starlight’s right, and she whipped around to see Zap carefully helping Flurry back down to the ground. The princess’ inner thighs, and Starlight noticed this on Bonbon’s as well, were coated in a fresh wave of feminine juices to mix in with the semen from that slug monstrosity. It wasn’t until the unicorn saw the pregnant stomachs literally squirm from within that she realised what was happening.

They were giving birth.

“Flurry! Are you okay?” Zap asked frantically as the alicorn’s breath was coming out in pained pants.

“They’re going into labour.” Starlight stated, taking control of the situation and using her magic to reposition both pregnant mares; Bonbon kneeling with her ass in the air, while Flurry was in a more traditional birthing posture. “Vinyl, I need you to keep your eyes and ears open. Make sure no one’s sneaking up on us. Zap, I need you to be here for Flurry. Keep her mind off what she’ll be doing as much as you can.”

“W-What do ya mean-” Zap’s protests were cut off as both mares cried out in pain, their bellies squirming more vigorously.

“M-My stomach… I-It, argh! It hurts!” Flurry’s eyes were tightly squeezed shut in pain, her hands resting on her stomach as she struggled for breath.

“S-Something’s m-mah! M-Moving, inside-hah, argh!” Bonbon cried out, her flanks unintentionally shaking side to side. Zap, seeing the agony the two mares looked to be in, nodded and moved beside Flurry.

“Okay girls,” Starlight spoke up, doing her best not to show the internal panic on her face. “It’s going to hurt, but I need the two of you to push. Take deep breaths and… push!”

The mares did as she asked, though it came with a litany of carnal-tinged gasps for air. Zap offered a wing for Flurry to hold onto, which she accepted with more force than the pegasus expected. She winced in pain from Flurry’s grip, but seeing the strain on the alicorn’s face, she swallowed any pained outburst.

“I, I-MNF! AGRH! I… huff, I-I can feel them moviiiIINNGG!” Flurry stammered as she pushed with all the strength in her core. She could feel each individual egg as they squeezed through her cervix, slithering down every nook and cranny of her birth canal as they approached the outside world.

“S-So… Hah-ARGH! S-So many…” Bonbon uttered, merely bracing herself as the sensations were doubled for her. Not only were the eggs slowly travelling down from her womb, but her stomach as well, and they jostled against one another through the thin membrane separating the earth pony’s ass and pussy.

“Just keep breathing. Keep pushing. You’re both doing so well.” Starlight replied, forcing as much positivity into her voice as she could manage. Sparing a second to glance over to Vinyl, the DJ was splitting her time between keeping an eye and ear out on either side of the tunnel, and occasionally glancing back at the birthing happening mere metres away.

“Yer doin’ great Flurry. Jus’ hold on.” Zap parroted, doing her best not to wince as Flurry’s grip on her wings grew even tighter. Their bellies were slowly contracting as the panting cries grew shorter and louder.

“It-AH-ARGH! I-I can… feel…MNF! I-It’s coming!” Flurry gasped, sweat coating her forehead. Beside her, Bonbon was beyond words, now only managing animalistic sounds mixed with tones of both pain and pleasure.

“Just one more push. You two can do it. Just one more push, and this’ll be over.” Starlight cheered them on desperately, readying her magic in-between the legs of the two. The strain on Flurry and Bonbon’s faces intensified, groans of exertion echoing out in the subterranean tunnel as their bellies suddenly contracted.

“CUMMMMIIIIIIIIINNGG!”

Both mares screamed at once, their backs arching as the floodgates opened. From Flurry’s vagina and both of Bonbon’s holes, large dull-pink eggs were ejected with a wet pop. The barrage went on for what felt like forever, with Starlight fearing it would never stop. She pictured a horrifying clown car scenario, and given it was an evil version of Pinkie Pie that inflicted this upon them, the mage didn’t rule that terrible possibility out.

Flurry was the first to finally stop, shuddering and twitching from the exertion and following orgasm as a glistening pile of a dozen or so eggs were floated to the ground before her. Bonbon kept going for a little longer before she too finally stopped, her pile of eggs twice that of the princess. Starlight checked on the earth pony and, though she was still alive, she had clearly lost consciousness; her eyes rolling up into her head in pleasure. With the ordeal over, Starlight sat back in shock at the event. Even Vinyl had paused in her observation to look at the shameful display.

“Flurry? You okay?” Zap asked, not sure what else to say as the alicorn stared out at nothing, catching her breath with deep inhales. It took a few moments, but she slowly turned to the flier and weakly nodded. Zap knew it was a lie, but still smiled that her friend was still in there.

“Uh, girls?” Vinyl spoke up, her tone clearly indicating there was still trouble afoot. “Pretty sure something heard that and is on its way. I’m guessing we have about five minutes from what I’m picking up.”

“R-Right.” Starlight nodded, standing up and taking charge of the situation. We need to move. I’ll carry Bonbon. Zap, think you can take care of Flurry?”

“Sure as Ah’m an Apple.” She stated with a determined nod.

With that, they prepared to leave. With no clothes left to help holster their weapons and gear outside their bags, Starlight was forced to cannibalise Bonbon’s grappling hook for its rope. With their gear secured, Starlight lifted the unconscious secret agent in her magic while Zap eased Flurry into a piggyback ride, her original wings stretched as tightly as they could around the alicorn’s weakened frame. One last glance down the tunnel, where all mares could now hear the sound of multiple legs skittering towards them, had the group leaving the fresh eggs behind and running as fast as they could.

They lost track of time as they ran. Starlight theorised it must’ve been an hour since they had last heard anything behind them, yet despite the exhaustion and fear of another attack, they just kept going. Starlight led with Bonbon hovering close beside her. Zap carried Flurry through the middle of the group with Vinyl covering their rear. They followed Pinkie Pie’s directions, turning one way and another through the same-looking tunnels. Eventually, out of necessity, the group slowed down their pace to a cautious walk once they were absolutely certain they weren’t being followed anymore.

“Z…Zap?” Flurry murmured as they travelled along.

“Ah’m here, Flurry. Don’t you worry none. We’ll get ya outta here.” Zap’s tone might have been a bit too chipper for how tired she was, but she wanted to alleviate any of Flurry’s worries.

“…I know… Sorry you have to carry me.”

“Hey, don’t you start talkin’ like that. Given what you’ve been through the past few days, Ah reckon you need a break more than anypony. Heck, we could all use a good rest.”

“Mm.” Flurry hummed in agreement as she rested her head upon the Apple’s orange shoulder. Ahead, a swivelled ear in the direction of their little chat brought a smile to Starlight’s face. A murmur then caught her attention swivelling her ear and then entire head to see Bonbon finally stirring.

“Bonbon, are you okay?” Starlight knew it was a stupid question, but she felt it needed to be asked.

“Ugh… I… I, I think so… W-Where…?” The earth pony struggled to move her blue-and-pink maned head around, her blue eyes barely open.

“We’re moving closer to Manehatten. Don’t worry, we’re safe. You just focus on getting some rest, alright?” Bonbon nodded, enough of a response for Starlight to smile at her and press on. What Starlight didn’t see, however, was how Bonbon’s tired eyes lingered on the unicorn. Mainly on her ass. How those motherly flanks shifted and jiggled with each step. On what little side boob she could see from her vantage point. Voices whispered in the earth pony’s mind and she tried shaking them away, reasoning they were the result of exhaustion. But their echoes lingered as she slipped back into unconsciousness.

Starlight was uncertain how long after that discussion, but the weary ponies finally arrived at the exit Pinkie had designated. With what little enthusiasm they could muster, the mares welcomed the fresh air of the surface. Morning light filtered through the pink clouds above, and in the distance were the skyscrapers of their destination.

“Finally…” Vinyl moaned, leaning against the tunnel exit. “Can, huff, can we rest now?” Before Starlight could answer, a familiar burst of green flames appeared before them, leaving a bag in its wake. Opening it up, Starlight smiled and tossed the final dream amulet to her fellow unicorn, which Vinyl wasted no time in affixing it around her neck.

“I think a rest is just what we need right now.” Starlight stated, earning tired but eager nods from Zap and Bonbon. Setting the earth pony down, she then used the last of her magical strength to create illusions to protect them. Unlike the last time, Starlight crafted the spells with a preciseness akin to a master craftsman. No one would be able to discern their presence.

With that last act achieved, Starlight sat down in the mouth of the tunnel alongside Flurry and Zap, and allowed herself to sleep once more.

“Alright, ready to go?”

Dinky looked up to her adventuring companion and nodded, standing up as well. She and Rumble took one last look around their campsite to make sure they hadn’t been spotted before finally moving out from within the bush surrounding the Galloping Gorge. Despite them having made a successful jump the other day, Dinky felt her magic still wasn’t up to performing another long-range teleport. Furthermore, the effort alone would leave her exhausted again, and relying solely on Rumble for protection. Most mares would dream of him defending them like some fantasy knight in shining armour, but Dinky was not one of them. They were about to enter into open territory when Rumble raised his hand to stop them. He rustled through his bag before pulling out a set of binoculars, scanning the horizon to the south east.

“Rumble? Everything okay?”

“Here. See for yourself.” He handed her the binoculars and directed her gaze. Following his instructions, Dinky saw dark shapes flitting about in the sky beneath the pink cloud cover. “If we continue on foot, they’ll spot us for sure. Don’t suppose you’re up for another teleport?”

Dinky shook her head as she handed back the binoculars. “No. I’ve just barely recovered from the last jump and you want me to go again? We’re so lucky the last teleport got us this far. There’s no telling what’ll happen teleporting down there.”

Rumble brought a hand to his chin in thought. “Then we fly. I’ll carry you down to Ponyville.”

“What?” Dinky responded, a blush soon spreading across her face. “This isn’t one of your stupid fantasies, Rumble. Be serious.”

“I am. It’s the fastest way down without teleporting, and we’ll take the long way around to make sure those monsters don’t spot us.”

“But…” Dinky knew he was right, but the thought of him carrying her came across as embarrassing. She looked away, but turned back when Rumble rested both hands on her shoulders.

“Dinky, I promise I’m not doing this to woo you. This is to help us get to Ponyville faster so we can find our families, alright? Now are you with me?” Dinky knew he was right. There wasn’t much point arguing about it, regardless of how embarrassing it might have looked.

“Alright, fine. But no funny business, got it?”

“Got it.” Rumble nodded before quickly scooping an arm behind Dinky’s back and knees and swiftly lifting the unicorn high into the air.

“Give me a little warning next time!” Dinky shouted over the rushing air as they soared into the sky. Rumble, however, remained focused on flying. His wings pushed them higher and higher before finally levelling off just below the cloud cover. Then he turned in a wide arc, aiming the pair towards the Unicorn Mountain Range to the west. “Uh, Rumble? I thought we were heading to Ponyville, not Vanhoover!”

“We are,” he shouted back, eyes not leaving their path. “We’re taking the long way around to avoid attention.”

The long route it indeed was. Rumble was being extra cautious during this flight. Dinky had seen him practising aerial manoeuvres in the past, and knew he could go much faster than this. She assumed it was because he was carrying her, as well as hoping to hide from any potential threats. By the time the ponies eventually landed in the rocky hills separating Ponyville from the Whitetail Woods to the west, the light filtering in from above revealed it must’ve been mid-afternoon.

“You see,” Rumble stated as they cautiously walked closer to their destination. “Got us here much faster than walking, and safer than teleporting.”

“I get it, I get it.” She admitted, waving off his boasting before she pulled him down. One glance forward and soon he was wearing the same shocked expression as his unicorn counterpart.

Ponyville was nothing like the childhood home they remembered. The homes on the outer edges of town had been demolished, their rumble now forming a defensive wall manned by monsters. Aerial patrols circled the town from above, though they paid a great deal of attention to the northern approach. Despite neither of them uttering a word, both Dinky and Rumble were thinking the same thing.

Please… Please let them be okay.

“Alright…” Rumble spoke up, shaking Dinky out of the stupor of staring at the fallen remnants of their home town. “My old house’s the closer to us, so we’ll sneak in there first. Just stay quiet and follow my lead, okay?”

Dinky nodded and the two began their stealthy approach into Ponyville. They made it down to within fifty metres of the wall before having to wait nearly an hour as they watched the guards for patrol patterns. Finally seeing an opening, Rumble grabbed Dinky again and shot them through and into town. Once inside, they hugged the walls of buildings and moved only when the coast was clear both on the streets and in the skies. A couple of times the pegasus had to pull his unicorn accomplice back before she could be spotted by another monster patrol or a random beast and their depraved pet pony. It secretly terrified Dinky at what mares in the town had been reduced to, and she feared for her mother.

Rumble did as well, but he did his best not to show it as they continued. It would be somewhere around another hour of meticulous sneaking before the fliers’ home came into sight. After stealthing their way around into the back yard, Rumble looked through the open doorway, swords drawn just in case. The kitchen of his youth was empty, and he and Dinky slowly crept inside.

Once inside, it took all of Rumble’s inner strength not to drop his swords at the sight.

There were drawers strewn all over the place. Splinters of broken wooden furniture littered the kitchen and further into the family room. Pictures were broken and defaced. The walls were smeared with all manner of stains, most of which Rumble dared not try guessing. He didn’t realise his shoulders were shaking until he felt Dinky’s hand rest upon one, the look of concern unmistakable in her eyes.

“Rumble?” She asked, the worry filtering into her voice as well.

“I… I’ll be fine.” He replied, steeling himself against these sights. “Come on. Let’s check the rest of the house. We might find a lead for Mom and Thunderlane.”

The two nodded and began their slow, careful search through the house. Dinky lit her horn as she checked the basement, finding nothing within but what had once been a sex dungeon of sorts. The unicorn had to cover her muzzle at the stench of old sex that had permeated the place. Rumble, meanwhile, went upwards. Thankfully there were no ambushes awaiting him in any of the bedrooms he checked, but seeing the trophies in his brothers’ room destroyed or stolen, the mess of stains and torn lingerie within his mothers’ master bedroom, it chipped away at his confidence and, more importantly, his hope.

Mom… Thunderlane… Where are you?

“Rumble, I couldn’t find anything… Rumble?” The unicorn mare found him simply staring at a photo in his hand. Looking over his shoulder, she saw it was of happier times. The picture focussed on Rumble and his family; his mother, Caring Hearts, smiling happily whilst wearing a fluttering white sundress, and his brother Thunderlane looking good in his Wonderbolts uniform. She didn’t need him to say anything to know what he was thinking, and so she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder once more, regaining his attention. He turned to look at her, then shook off the water building in his eyes.

“Sorry, just… needed a minute. Let’s go look for a lead for your mom next.”

“Hey, if you want, we can take a break. We don’t need to be rushing after leads non-stop. Maybe we could recharge and be better for it when we start searching again.”

As Rumble pondered this course of action, his ears swivelled and picked up the sounds of a monster patrol outside. They wouldn’t the pair given they were away from the bedroom windows, but there was no guarantee they wouldn’t come inside for a more thorough inspection.

For the first time in quite a while, Flurry Heart woke up calmly.

Sitting up, she saw that the other four mares in her group were not only okay, but unmodified. She made a mental note to give her uncle Sunburst the biggest hug possible once this mission was over. Looking around, Vinyl and Zap were slowly starting to stir, the later of which looking so peaceful beside the alicorn, but Bonbon and Starlight were missing. Using the tunnel wall to rise to her feet, Flurry exited the caves and found the two older mares looking out on the distant city.

The dim light from above informed Flurry evening was fast approaching, if not already there, as did the lights in the towers of Manehatten. Most of said towers were damaged or ruined in one way or another, but what appeared more concerning was the large, dark sea that had seemingly flooded the centre of town. Manehatten had been known for being built on an artificial island, meaning the only ways in was either by boat, air or the bridge connecting it to the mainland.

“How’s it looking?” She asked Starlight upon reaching them. Flurry’s voice made her aunt jump a little, but her look of surprise swiftly melted into a smile before that was hidden behind Starlight’s business face.

“See for yourself.” She handed the princess a pair of binoculars and directed her gaze down to the western end of the bridge, where Flurry could see plenty of fortifications and patrolling monsters barring the way. “Getting in’s going to be more difficult than we first thought, and I am not risking another teleport. We need a concrete plan going in before we try anything. Otherwise…”

“Rarity will handle us easily.” Bonbon finished, her eyes giving a hardened glare to the city.

Lowering the binoculars, Flurry knew they were correct. Ever since leaving Appleloosa, they’d been going by the seat of their now non-existent pants. Doing so against Rarity, who’d already given them plenty of trouble, would be near suicidal on her home turf.

“Alright.” Flurry declared, turning back to the tunnel. “Then let’s get planning.”

Well, pretty short chapter here, huh? Kinda expected it to be though, given how big the last chapter was and how well the parties rolled to avoid any hostilities. I feel the characters really needed a chapter like this following how non-stop it's been the last few chapters.

Onto the polls and very interesting results. Moving through the night shot out to be the clear winner in the end, but the other action poll was close throughout between flying and teleporting. A few late votes helped flying get the win. Meanwhile in the rare character poll, most folks wanted Zap to stay a harpy for now (and with those stat boosts, how could you not?). But the really tight race was the gems. It went back and forth for ages, but another late vote secured the yes option, meaning Bonbon just barely survives. Had no won, she would've been the missions' second participant to fall to lust, but she's still on a knifes' edge.

Action 1:
Travel through the tunnels and the night: 16
Find another part of the tunnels to hide in: 8
Get above ground: 9
Action 2:
Walk to Ponyville: 5
Fly to Ponyville: 15
Teleport to Ponyville: 14
Character:
Allow Zap to remain a harpy for now: 20
Change her back to a pegasus: 13
Gems:
Yes (On who and how many): 17 (FH:1:9, FH:2:3, SG:1:3, BB:1:4, BB:2:9, ZA:1:1, VS:1:11, VS:3:1)
No: 16

And now onto our new options. Lot of interesting paths going forward, but given it's Rarity they're going up against, I get the feeling someone isn't making it out of this with their sanity intact.

Action 1:
Rest for a day and observe guard patrols
Create a distraction to help sneak inside
Attempt to sail into Manehatten
Action 2:
Check the Manehatten Central Station
Check the Saddle Row Theatre
Check Rarity for You
Check the Mare of Liberty statue
Action 3:
Rest at Rumble's place
Sneak over to Dinky's house
Character (Only if Distraction option was chosen. Select TWO):
Starlight Glimmer
Bonbon
Zap Apple
Vinyl Scratch
Items:
Request all available Reformation Gems
Not right now
Gems (who and how many):
Yes
No

As always, I hope you've enjoyed this chapter and happy voting!
