“Hmm… perfect.”

Talvira purred to herself as she looked out upon her utopia. The land had become nothing but a spunk-smelling expanse of debauchery. Mares, stallions and monsters of all shapes and sizes were bathing each other in sexual fluids of all kinds. Looking down, she saw her harem of busty milfs attending to her crimson body. Her massive cock was currently embedded within the folds of her favorite servant in Lyra Heartstrings, the mint-green unicorn bouncing upon her fuck stick with a look of unabashed glee. Her soft H-cup mounds were licked and kneaded by both Cream Heart and Caring Hearts, the earth pony and pegasus mothers each lapping at a pierced nipple and pulling at the gold bar running through each nub. Further down, her orange-sized balls were being licked and suckled upon by Octavia Melody and Cheerilee, savoring the taste of her nutsack as she watched the both of them finger themselves. Finally, there was Milky Way, who was using her tongue to explore the demonic folds of Talvira’s pussy. She slowly lapped up and down, tracing those demonic lower lips and delving within as she was groping her own huge milky boobs.

“My Empress? I’m terribly sorry to interrupt you dream, but…”

Suppressing a sigh, Talvira looked up to see the form of Nightmare Rarity standing above them. While she would normally love to spend some time with her governess from Manehatten, her dream had been an enjoyable one, and Rarity would not interrupt such a dream unless it was important.

“I do hope your reason for interrupting this dream is a good one, Rarity.” Talvira stated as she rose to her cloven hooves, her personal harem clambering away from her before vanishing from the dreamscape like mist. Her piercing golden irises bore a hole into the nightmares’ own, forcing her to take a step back.

“Oh, it-it most definitely is, My Empress,” Rarity stammered nervously with a bow. “I was perusing dreams across the empire at random and it would seem we have some newcomers in Equestria. From the north.”

At once, Talvira understood the meaning behind those words, her eyes widening for a second before her face settled into a content grin. “So, they’ve finally made their move, huh?”

“Indeed. Most of them were captured by part of Ponyville’s horde, but a few managed to slip through. They will certainly be troublesome.”

“And why is that?” Talvira chuckled as she turned to look back at her erotic fantasy.

“Because those two are Starlight Glimmer, Midnight’s former student, and Flurry Heart, daughter of Cadence and Shining Armor… An alicorn.”

This peaked Talvira’s interest, looking back at the corrupted unicorn. “An alicorn…? Why didn’t Midnight tell me Cadence had a daughter?”

“Flurry Heart was only a baby when you conquered Equestria, My Empress. Perhaps Midnight thought she wouldn’t have the fortitude to do something so daring.”

Talvira brought a hand to her chin in thought. “Interesting. And where did you say you detected them last?”

“In the Everfree Forest, My Empress.”

“What?!” Talvira’s shout echoed throughout the dreamscape, the air rippling from the noise, as the demoness’ expression switched from contemplative to angered in an instant.

“M-My Empress? W-What’s wrong?” Rarity stammered, raising her hands in-front of herself to shield her in case her mistress felt so inclined to roughhouse her a little.

Instead, Talvira took a few deep breaths, though her annoyance still shone through her expression. “What’s wrong is the very reason why I’ve barred you and your friends from ever approaching Ponyville or the forest. Harmonious magic.” With Rarity giving the monster ruler her undivided attention, she carried on as she began pacing. “Magic like that of the Tree or Elements of Harmony are our one weakness. I’m eternally grateful you six heroines were too hasty to use them against me before, but even though you’ve all been corrupted for decades, I refuse to let you near those areas. Getting too close could leave you damaged beyond the point of usefulness or, even worse, reformed.”

With her lecture done, she stopped and looked at the slimy dream mare once more. “Continue tracking them, Nightmare. I want constant updates as to their location, and don’t be afraid to have a little fun with them while you’re at it.”

A sinister grin stretched across Rarity’s face. “Oh, I’m well ahead of you in that regard, My Empress.”

Talvira responded with a fanged grin of her own. “Very good. In the meantime, I’ll send additional forces to help secure Ponyville and the Tree. We cannot allow them to fall into the enemy’s hands.” A pleasurable sensation drew a sudden moan out of the demoness, as her cock felt encased in something warm and wet, yet nothing was at her crotch. “It would seem somepony else wants me awake as well. Keep me informed on any changes, Nightmare. We cannot afford to be caught off-guard by these intruders.”

“Yes, My Empress.” Rarity gave a graceful bow, giving Talvira a great top view of the cleavage of her hanging breasts, before she and the rest of the dream faded away.

When Talvira opened her golden eyes, she found herself laying back upon the circular bed of her personal chambers. From the parted curtains either side of the balcony door, she could tell the first rays of dawn were filtering through the pink clouds that had blanketed Equestria during her rule. Again, the warm feeling around her stiff log of a cock washed over her and she looked down with a knowing smile at the culprit. Kneeling between her black-furred legs was an off-yellow pegasus mare, her faded pink-maned head bobbing up and down Talvira’s shaft. Noticing the fiendish ruler was now awake, she slid off the pole with an audible pop and smiled as she continued rubbing the cock.

“Good morning Talvira.” Sluttershy spoke softly, nothing but affection and a little lust filling her voice.

Talvira returned the tender expression. “Good morning, my love.” The fiend sat up, placing a hand on the yellow mare’s cheek before closing in for a loving kiss. Sluttershy melted into the kiss, her arms reaching up and around Talvira’s neck as the two swapped spit and entwined their tongues. They finally broke after a moment, gently resting their foreheads together. “You always know the best ways to wake me up each morning.”

“Well, there are better things I could do,” Sluttershy replied slyly, her hand returning to Talvira’s erect pole. Her slow pumping ceased, however, when her crimson lover took hold of her wrist.

“Sadly, I have urgent business to attend to. We could continue this little snuggle in the throne room though, for old times’ sake.”

Though she looked disappointed at first, Sluttershy nodded and brought Talvira’s hand up to kiss the back of it gently. “I’ll look forward to it. I need to check in on the children anyway, so I’ll meet you there.”

Talvira’s smile deepened as she leaned forward once more and planted a swift kiss to Sluttershy’s forehead. “That’s my girl.” With that, she rolled off the bed and striding over to the doors. Pushing them open, the anthropomorphic wolf guards outside their chambers stood at attention, two of them falling in step with the Empress as all traces of her softer emotions from just now disappeared beneath the hardened visage of an iron-fisted ruler.

“Summon Midnight Sparkle to the throne room immediately,” she informed them as she strolled through the halls of the castle, echoing with the sounds of mares being pleasured. “I have need to mobilize a few hordes as soon as possible.”

“Wait, what do you mean ‘short on time?’” Flurry asked as she was helped to her feet by Bonbon.

The three looked as the image of Twilight Sparkle disappeared and the map returned; this time it displayed two large swarms of red lights approaching from Canterlot. One was beginning to deviate south towards the Everfree Forest, while the other was marching straight towards Ponyville.

“They began their journey a few hours after sunrise, and shall arrive soon.” Twilight’s voice answered before her image reappeared again. “These beasts are more heavily armed than the ones you have just disposed of, and I lack the strength to stop them. Your only chance to continue your journey is to leave Ponyville now.”

“B-But… the others,” Flurry looked back towards the hallway behind her that led back outside the crystalline castle. “There’s still mares out there we need to save. We can’t just leave them.” A hand rested on her shoulder as she turned to see Starlight looking at her with a torn expression.

“Flurry, I know you want to help them. I do too, but you’re in no condition to help those outside and if the Tree of Harmony’s telling the truth, we won’t even have time to save ourselves and everypony in the castle.”

“Then just one,” Flurry shot back, her tone growing desperate. “Let me save just one mare then. Please Starlight.”

Starlight looked into those blue eyes and sighed, turning to look to the side. “Fine. Save her then.”

“Who?” Flurry followed her aunt’s gaze and found it resting upon the mare with the massive breasts, still standing in a daze in the same spot as before.

“Mrs. Cake,” the unicorn answered before looking back at her alicorn niece. “Pound and Pumpkin’s mother.”

At this revelation, Flurry’s eyes widened before whipping back to the mare in question. Immediately her promise to her two best friends came roaring back into focus; a promise to find their parents. Her choice made, she nodded in acknowledgement to Starlight before hurrying over with teleportation crystal in hand.

Meanwhile, Bonbon came up to Starlight’s side. “So, where to next?”

“We need to get as far away from Ponyville as we can,” Starlight reasoned out loud, looking back at the map. “I think our best bet for now is to head further south and regroup once we’ve found a place to rest. And given the terrain, I think it’ll be easier to find a hidden campsite around Appleloosa than on a flat-looking farm.” Bonbon nodded, and following the tell-tale flash of a teleport, Flurry soon re-joined the older mares as they approached the table, the image of Twilight following them.

“If you can, please transport us to just outside Appleloosa?” Starlight asked a little nervously, but the image of the mare they admired smiled and raised her hands. A light began building from the table surface before being mirrored by the lights shining from the tree-root chandelier up above. The lights grew so bright that it encompassed the three mares’ entire vision before the spell finally fired, with the final words from the Tree echoing in their mind.

“Be safe, brave travelers. Equestria is depending upon you.”

When the light faded, Flurry, Starlight and Bonbon lowered their arms as they gazed upon their new surroundings. Gone were the crystalline halls of Twilight’s castle, now replaced by rust-colored sand, rocky formations that led into high hills off in the distance, and before them a seemingly out of place orchard of apple trees. A cursory scan of the environment revealed they were safe, for now.

“So, what now?” Flurry asked, bringing her large wings around to cover her grown melons since her suit no longer could. “Head straight for town and try to sneak in?”

“After what we’ve been through today?” Starlight answered tiredly. “No. We need to find somewhere to settle down and rest. We can figure out how we’ll find Applejack tomorrow.”

“Besides,” Bonbon added, nodding skyward. “Light’s starting to fade. I imagine we’ll only have a few more hours of sunlight left and we don’t want to get caught outside at night.” The other two mares nodded, but their expressions grew concerned when Bonbon walked towards the apple trees.

“Bonbon, don’t!” Flurry nearly shouted, rushing forward to grab the earth pony by the wrist, only for her to turn around and cover her mouth, her eyes returning to a defensive scan that showed no incoming threat. For how much longer that remained the case remained to be seen.

“Why are you shouting? I’m just going to get some apples for us to eat.”

“No. Don’t take them.” Flurry pleaded. “We took some from Sweet Apple Acres and I think eating them is what caused our milk problem.”

“She’s right.” Starlight spoke up. “When I was caught by the Flim Flam brothers, they were force feeding me apples from the farm. We have no idea if these apples are like those, but I’d rather we don’t take the chance. It just… makes things harder to focus when it’s… sloshing around in there…” Starlight slowly looked down at her four globes, resting a hand on one as she could feel the milk building up within, just waiting for another chance to break free. A gentle touch roused her from that train of thought, looking up to see Flurry with a hand on her arm and both she and Bonbon looking at her with worry.

“S-Sorry,” Starlight shook her head, unintentionally jiggling her tits side to side. “I’m okay. Let’s get moving before somepony sees us.” They nodded and moved out, searching for refuge. They started within the apple orchard itself, but after spotting a barely-clothed stallion tending to the trees, they silently backtracked and left. Flurry wanted to take to the skies to find a better location, but she knew with her coat color she’d be easy to spot against the pink clouds.

Finally, after a few hours, Bonbon managed to locate a cave as they ventured deeper into the hills south of town. It wasn’t a very deep cave, probably only fifteen to twenty feet in, but it was enough to hide from any search parties in the area. Like in the forest, Starlight used her magic to conceal the three even further; disguising the cave mouth as part of the rocky wall in open into. With their camp site decided upon, Starlight then summoned a magical smokeless flame, which the mares huddled around. They each opened up one of their ration packets, enjoying the meal within. Bonbon explained Sunburst had enchanted them with nutrition and energy-giving spells, meaning one ration split across the day would be enough to keep them well fed.

It was as they were eating that Flurry’s gaze was drawn back to her aunt. Namely, her chest. Though hers were slightly bigger, Flurry couldn’t imagine having to carry around an extra pair, especially when all four breasts were producing milk at a faster rate than her own were. Swiftly brushing aside the temptations at the fringes of her mind, Flurry rummaged through her bag.

“Starlight?” She asked, capturing the attention of the two older mares as she pulled out a reformation gem. “I know you said we need to conserve these, but you really need this now. I don’t want you getting caught again, and you did daze off earlier.” Starlight looked at the gem, then to Bonbon, then back to Flurry before sighing.

“Okay.” She finally agreed, closing her eyes and waiting for Flurry to begin.

Flurry took a deep breath before leaning forward and touching the gem to the top pair of Starlight’s breasts. The gem began shining brighter and brighter, illuminating the cave more than the fire did. Starlight’s voice could be heard over the hum of the gem’s ringing, but soon enough the light and sound faded away, and Flurry uncovered her eyes as the gem turned to dust in her hands.

Starlight’s corruptions had reversed, though not nearly as much as Flurry had hoped. While the unicorn’s second set of breasts had vanished completely, the original pair had barely shrunk; if Flurry was to guess, no more than a few cup sizes. Starlight panted softly as she opened her eyes and gave her niece a soft smile.

“I… I’m okay,” she said, answering Flurry’s unspoken question. “Really, I am. It feels… lighter in there.” She looked down at her slightly smaller bust, noticing the churning feeling of milk production had decreased significantly. It was still there, but nowhere near as concerning as before. Satisfied, she was able to actually close the zipper of her stealth suit, though her chest did still fit very tightly.

“I thought the gems would’ve done more,” Bonbon spoke up, voicing a question that had emerged in Flurry’s mind as well as the young alicorn scooted over and leaned against Starlight, trying to ignore the way her own bust squished against her aunt’s arm.

“I guess it’s trying to deal with multiple corruptions at once?” Starlight suggested. “Sunburst found the process to create the gems in ancient texts, it’s only natural there might be one or two issues with them.” The pair were distracted from they discussion by a big yawn from Flurry.

Bonbon smiled. “Well, I think we’ve earned our rest tonight. We’ll need to be up bright and early if we want to get a good feel for getting into town tomorrow.” She moved over to sit against the wall beside the other two, though not touching as they were.

Starlight nodded before unleashing a yawn herself. “Yeah, good idea.” With her last act, the unicorn added alert glyphs to the illusion masking their presence, then joined Flurry and a drowsy Bonbon in descending into slumber.

Bonbon was unsure where she was.

Flurry and Starlight were gone. The cave was gone. Her clothing and equipment were gone, baring her modest B cup boobs and sizable behind. Thankfully nopony was around to see her in her birthday suit, as she stood in what seemed to be an endless void. It unnerved her. She’d faced off against some of the most terrifying beasts known to ponykind, but the sheer loneliness of this place was triggering something deep within her.

“H-Hello?” She called out, hoping for a response, any response. She knew it was a dumb move to do so, but the ancient herd instincts were kicking in hard now, and being alone was a far worse feeling than revealing herself. At least if she was attacked, she knew she could handle herself and she wouldn’t be alone.

As if answering her call, a wooden door slowly faded into existence a few feet before her. Again, her agent training was screaming “Trap,” but there was little other direction for her to go. Bonbon imagined she could be walking for ages if she left this place, or that she would soon circle back to the door should she try to leave. With a calming breath, she placed a hand around the ebony doorknob and pushed it open.

The inside was not what Bonbon had been expecting. Behind the door was a room straight out of one of those corny love hotels, lit by wall sconces of a green hue. The drawers lining the sides of the room were littered with numerous different sex toys, while on the wall above the large rectangular bed was an ivory statue of Princess Celestia. The statue wasn’t like others she had seen before, however, as it was posed like it was being crucified, with a pleasure-drenched expression adorning the Princess’ beautiful face. The door being closed behind her confirmed she’d fallen for the trap and she turned to see her assailant. When she did so, however, shock and heartbreak flooded throughout her body.

“L-Lyra?”

Standing in the doorway was indeed the mint-green unicorn… though not as Bonbon remembered her. As she walked towards her lover, Lyra’s hips swayed sensually. She was wearing a set of lacy navy-blue lingerie, though the bra was useless at this point given the breasts they were supposed to contain spilled over the top of them. Easily F cups when before she had only been a DD, the udders were secreting milk as a lecherous smile adorned her face.

“L-Lyra? What happened to you? Where are-mmnf!” Bonbon’s questions were cut off when Lyra closed in and kissed her. Her arms draped themselves around Bonbon’s neck, bringing them closer and pressing the milky orbs into her own. For a fraction of a second, something at the fringes of Bonbon’s mind urged her to let go, to accept this for what it was; one more night with Lyra. She had dreamed of such a thing for years…

But not like this.

“Lyra!” Bonbon yelled, pulling herself out of the kiss and firmly grabbing the unicorn by the shoulders. “What’s gotten into you?!”

Lyra merely tittered at this outburst. “Harder, Bonbon.”

So shock was Bonbon by this statement, so out of character for the unicorn, that she was too slow to react when Lyra’s horn lit up. A golden aura lifted Bonbon off of her feet before throwing her onto the bed. Four metallic clicks rang out as the earth pony looked up and down to see her wrists and ankles bound to the bedposts by four fuzzy pink handcuffs. Bonbon struggled to free herself, but the cuffs wouldn’t budge. Lyra’s giggling drew her gaze back to her corrupted lover, as the unicorn strolled over to one of the drawers and collected a large and girthy dildo vibrator before approaching the bed.

“L-Lyra, you… you don’t have to do this.” Bonbon insisted, hoping she could talk her out of whatever was driving her to do this. “We’re going to save you. All of you.”

“No, Bonbon…” Lyra responded, her voice dripping with a carnal need as she clambered onto the bed and knelt down between Bonbon’s legs. “I’m the one saving you.”

Without another word, Lyra bent down and began licking Bonbon’s pussy, immediately awakening years of desire held at bay by the agent. The mint-green mare always did know the best spots to tease her lover, and went achingly slow as she traced the edge of her pussy lips again and again before flicking the cute little button at their peak. Each lick sent a spasm of pleasure throughout Bonbon’s body, her legs pulling in vain to free themselves from the cuffs, only for each effort to be ruined by another wave of bliss. After a few minutes of this, Bonbon was panting from the tongue lashing, both her upper and lower lips drooling. Lyra beamed at this, and brought the dildo to the earth pony’s entrance.

“N-No, Lyra… P-Please, doooOOOOAAAAAARGH!”

Any hopes Bonbon had of talking her lover out of this were dashed as Lyra pushed the massive toy into her pussy. It stretched her painfully as inch by inch it submerged itself into her folds. But the only thing Bonbon was feeling was pleasure; enough to addle her brain and leave her panting. It wasn’t until she felt something on her stomach that she noticed Lyra had moved, now straddling her belly and wearing that same lustful smile.

“Open wide, Bonbon,” Lyra spoke up, her hands moving to either size of her massive milky melons. “It’s about time I gave you a taste of my own sweet drops.”

Ignoring the terrible play on words, Bonbon couldn’t help but drop her jaw. Lyra very rarely, if ever, brought up Bonbon’s secret identity. To the best of the earth pony’s memory, the only time they’d talked about it at great length was shortly after Cranky and Matilda’s wedding. To think that she would use that name as playful bedroom banter was jarring in the extreme.

This shock lowered her weakened defenses even further and, with a glow of golden magic, the vibrator was switched on. A wordless cry of pleasure roared out of Bonbon’s mouth, only for Lyra to lean down and bury both of her nipples inside. One squeeze to her boobs and the milk began flowing, with the earth pony mare left with no choice but to swallow the dairy bounty. The unicorn kept this up for what seemed like forever, as with each gulp of milk down her throat, Bonbon felt drowsier and drowsier, only to be shocked back to lucidity with each jolt of pleasure from the vibrator. Lyra pressed her attack; she began humping Bonbon’s stomach as she raised and lower her torso to help pump more milk into her lover. Further down, as the girthy toy continued its ceaseless assault on her gushing pussy, Lyra’s silvery tail tickled her partners’ clit. Brushing over it and lightly slapping it, the pleasure for such an act sending jolt after jolt up Bonbon’s spine. Finally, Lyra pulled her teats out of Bonbon’s mouth, leaning back to see the mare below in a daze. Her eyes were unfocussed and excess milk had splattered across her muzzle.

“Impressive Lyra. Now, let’s show her how good you’ve gotten at receiving pleasure.”

Bonbon heard a new voice, a familiar voice, command Lyra. Struggling to move, she turned her head to see the statue of Princess Celestia darken and change before moving free of the wall and standing proudly on the bed over her head. Despite the fuzziness of her mind, one thing stood out on this newcomer. Her cutie mark; three blue diamonds hidden beneath a glowing pink heart.

“Yes Ma’am,” Lyra replied with enthusiasm. Bonbon slowly started regaining her wits, just in time to see Lyra crawl on her hands and knees to stand above the earth pony on all fours, her huge bosom resting on her lovers’ stomach. This newcomer, Rarity she thought, fingered herself for a moment or two before growing a dick of her own just above her snatch. With a hard smack to one of Lyra’s ass cheeks echoing throughout the room and a squeal of delight from the victim following swiftly after, Rarity pulled Lyra’s panties aside and thrust herself inside the horny unicorn. Bonbon tried turning away, to not look at this debauched act mere inches above her face, but a blue hue of magic took hold of her head and pointed it up at the pussy being pounded above her.

“Don’t look away, Darling,” Rarity spoke in-between thrusts and slaps. “When you have such front row seats as this, it would just be so rude to ignore the performance, would it not?”

Not given any choice, Bonbon watched with watering eyes as her beloved was pounded again and again, moaning like a two-bit whore all the while. A click and a sudden pulse from within her reminded Bonbon that the vibrator was still wriggling away inside her cunt, though the sensations had definitely increased. Looking back up, she saw Rarity had increased the pace of her own fucking, pushing in and pulling out of Lyra at dizzying speeds. The unicorn was panting in hysterical pleasure, her milk staining Bonbon’s stomach as a blue glow enveloped the end of the vibrator and began plunging it in and out of her pussy as well.

The two lovers were left moaning and panting from the assault until finally they came. Bonbon was the first to break, a wail of ecstasy escaping her as her femcum squirted around the still writhing toy lodged within her folds. At the same time, Lyra screamed in delight as Rarity hilted inside her and froze. Soon something white and sticky escaped the edges of Lyra’s clogged snatch and dripped down onto the panting face of the agent; some even landing in her mouth as the dizziness became too much and the room faded away.

“Bonbon! Bonbon, wake up!”

Familiar voices emerged as the first signs Bonbon was returning to consciousness, and slowly her eyes opened to see the worried faces of Flurry Heart and Starlight Glimmer looking down at her from within the safety of the cave. Her body felt like she’d taken part in the Running of the Leaves five times in one day, and with some effort she lifted her head to look down at herself. Her senses began returning quickly as she saw one of her hands lightly caressing one of her breasts while the other was within her pants. She quickly removed both, but the sticky fluid coating the hand from her pants made what had happened all the clearer to her companions.

“W-What happened?” She asked tiredly as she sat up, Flurry helping her to a sitting position and handing her a water canteen from the earth pony’s satchel.

“We woke up and found you masturbating in your sleep.” Starlight answered.

“Were you having a nightmare?” Flurry asked. “Starlight said she had one the other night, and I think it played a part in her breasts growing a bit yesterday morning.” Bonbon put the canteen down and thought back to her dream. Like all dreams, the details were escaping quickly, though there were a few that were seared into her mind for the moment.

“I… I think so,” she began, holding her head in the hand that had not just been in her pants. “I was trapped in a room… and I was being raped… by… Lyra…”

“Lyra?” Flurry asked after Bonbon trailed off, then looked to her aunt for answers.

“Lyra was Bonbon’s partner before the fall of Eqeustria,” Starlight explained, immediately earning a look of sad recognition from the young alicorn.

“Also…” Bonbon continued, recapturing the attention of the other two mares. “I… I think Rarity was there as well.”

“Wait, Rarity?” Starlight asked, and when Bonbon nodded, her brow furrowed. “She was in my nightmare too. I don’t think her popping up twice in separate dreams is a coincidence. She might be working for the enemy.”

“What?” Flurry nearly shouted, rising to her feet. “But-But you always told me Rarity was a hero, alongside my aunt Twilight and their friends.”

“They’ve been trapped down here for twenty years, Flurry,” Starlight replied softly, moving over and placing a hand on the princess’ shoulder. “It would be a miracle for anypony to survive that long with their sanity intact.”

“Uh, girls?” Bonbon asked, the two looking back to see her slowly rising to her feet. “Do either of you hear that?”

Aunt and niece fell silent and, sure enough, they heard it. A faint, booming sound emanating from beyond the mouth of their hidden cave. The three looked back to each other and a silent agreement was made. As quietly and quickly as they could, they began packing up their campsite and preparing to move out. Making sure no one was waiting outside for them, they slipped through the illusionary wall, though Starlight kept the spell going should they need to hide once more. The booms continued to echo out, though what surprised the party was that the sounds were coming from further into the hills and away from Appleloosa. They clambered over the hills as the light was beginning to filter through the clouds, ensuring they watched their step lest any trip cause them to fall or be discovered.

Crawling to the peak of one such hill, they looked up to see something darting about in the sky. Whatever it was it was fast. Fast enough to leave on a trail colored like a rainbow. Flurry was about to ask what, or who, that could be, but Starlight and Bonbon just stared up at this thing, transfixed by the mere sight of it. Whatever it was then soared up high into the sky and paused a brief second before rocketing into a dive at insane speeds. As it descended, a cone of light and arcs of lightning formed around its tip, sharpening as it descended.

But just as quickly as it had been plummeting to the ground, it suddenly stopped mid-air. For a brief second Flurry saw an orange pegasus mare with a rainbow-colored mane and tail, before the cone she had built up became like a trampoline of air pressure and flung her back into the sky in an out-of-control spiral, screaming all the while.

And here I thought this cool-down chapter would be a shorter one. Oh well.
Not gonna lie, I was a little intimidated writing for Talvira and Sluttershy once more. Perhaps just a case of jitters having not written them for a while, but I imagine that'll die off the more active they become in the story.
Onto the votes and this might've been the most entertaining poll I've run so far. It was neck and neck early on between Appleloosa and the farm before the former took the lead, only for the farm to rally and tie it. Then in came the Late Vote Crew to help give Appleloosa a big lead, but even then the farm began closing again. Sadly they ran out of time and Appleloosa won. As for the other two options, the castle led early before the none option blasted it out of the water, and you all wanted Starlight back to normal quite emphatically.

Action 1:
Return to the Everfree to save the Tree of Harmony: 3
Teleport to Appleloosa: 12
Teleport to Manehatten: 2
Teleport to Cloudsdale: 2
Teleport to the lonely farm: 10
Action 2:
Evacuate all mares in Ponyville: 5
Save only those in/around the castle: 9
Leave a distraction for the enemy: 3
None of the above: 12
Item:
Use Reformation Gem on Flurry Heart: 0
Use Reformation Gem on Starlight Glimmer: 21
Don't use it: 8

At this time, I'd like to explain how the Reformation Gems will work on the party members going forward. Each gem will not only restore one lost Purity Point, but also restore up to three stages of corruption. The catch? It has to distribute the reformation evenly, like how in Monopoly you need to have each property having a house on it before you can have multiple houses on one property and so on. Using Starlight as an example, it erased her multi-boob and reduced her cup size and lactation by one each. Had she not had the multiboob, her cup size would've gone down by two. Hope that explains it well enough.
Anyway, onto our new poll, and this one will be interesting. Always remember to think of how each option could play out should it be chosen.

Action:
Save and befriend
Capture and interrogate
Leave and relocate
Item:
