A Roegadyn in Equestria

A Roegadyn in Equestria.

Chapter 89: Date Night Part 2.

*Point of view: Brex Mith*

The Roegadyn was practically clenching his teeth as he mentally berated himself on his luck when he just wanted to have a normal night out without some complication to present itself. The rest of the patrons and staff that was working at the restaurant had apparently stopped what they were doing so as to glance at the Changeling’s in disguise with obviously awestruck expression that a person would only give if they were to see a pair of famous supermodels. One mare was even so distracted that she ended up missing her mouth after bringing a wine glass up and spilled it slowly down her blouse without even batting an eyelash.

A stallion at another table was attempting to eat his spaghetti without even looking down at his plate, but place the tip of his fork onto the cloth laying on the table. Then started to twirl the utensil until he bunched up the fabric and absent-mindedly tried to bring it to his mouth and almost causing some of the glasses to fall over before it was too much and he could not pull his arm up any further. Another male who worked as one of the few waiters walking around to take orders was just dumbly standing in place and continuously letting his hand with a quill that had been taking down what the guest wanted to just squibble until the whole page was covered in ink.

Even those that came together for a date as lesbians often found their partners transfixed and gave them a quick nudge to break whatever hypnotic spell that they were under with some irritation showing on their faces. This was done as their partner gave them an apologetic face of their own once they figured out what they were doing. But it seemed that both Gilda and Rainbow were not affected in the same way. But only got closer to him so that they could take either arm into their embrace. Gilda then whispered the following while pulling his arm towards her chest with the use of both of hers.

“Just look at those two acting all high and mighty. Who do they think they are, the princesses? I ain't seen them in Ponyville before. What about you Rainbow?”

“Nope, not ringing any bells for me either. If you ask me, something ain't quite right with them. Just… Hmm. I can't really put my finger on it, but it’s nagging me so much that I can’t help but to think its staring me right in the face.”

“I thought so. Must be a couple that came from Canterlot. And just look at that, they're ordering the most expensive bottle of wine. Obviously, nobles with a whole lot of bits to throw around.”

“Gilda, what makes you say they're getting the most expensive thing on the list?”

“How could you not have noticed the way that one waiter almost fell over with disbelief before running off to get that bottle just now? The stallion even seems petrified to waste a single drop with how he's holding it.”

Brex saw that she was not kidding as the waiter came back and started to carefully pour the contents of the wine into both of their waiting glasses with a very nervous expression that one would get when trying to disarm a live bomb. He had even expected the guy to stick out his tongue in pure concentration at one point or another before he finished and placed the remaining bottle onto the table with such care that one would give to a snowflake. He then recalled the moment he glanced over the options on the menu from before and saw that at the bottom of the wine section was a single bottle that was worth over a thousand bits.

With the current economy, a normal minimum wage job would surmount to roughly seven bits an hour. So, a typical monthly earning would get a person around the area of one thousand, one hundred and twenty bits if they were to work for eight hours a day and five days a week. On Earth that bottle would go for a little more than twice that in dollars. This meant that when it came to how much Brex and the girls racked up in their own bill. It was nothing but a drop in the bucket if these two were to continue with their high spending on a full course meal.

Although, it did not make too much of a difference for Brex if they did the same. But the other two with him wanted to pay their share and they were fine with what they got. After a few seconds this thought flew out the window when Brex glanced towards Rainbow and found her eyeing the menu again that was still left on the table. Knowing that her competitive nature and not wanting to be shown up in front of her date which was him, really needed to get snipped in the butt before it exploded. While trying to calm the two down. Brex got their attention by absent-mindedly padding the top of one of their legs to get them to drop what was on their minds as he spoke in a reassuring voice.

“There's no need to worry about what the others are doing... or eating. Are there any activities either of you want to go out and do after we finish our desserts?” There was a twitch of a smirk on his lips from behind his mask as he playfully had this, “oh I got them” look after the pair stiffened up after his hand made its contact to the pair’s bodies. The Pegasus’s head was quickly turning red from clear embarrassment, while Gilda awkwardly looked away and gave a small cough under her breath as she replied in what started off as a weak voice before turning into her usual cocky one. “I-I mean that we, I-I, uh! *Cough!* We thought that going to the bar afterwards to probably dance might be a good idea. That is if you can even dance that is!”

Rainbow glanced around him to give the Griffin a confused look before she was about to open her mouth. But instead of words, Rainbow snapped her lips together quickly to hold in what he thought was a yelp of pain when he felt Gilda shifting her legs under the table and nearly brushing up against his own. This caused Brex to raise his eyebrow after thinking that the two had something planned. But he just resigned himself to let it be a surprise and allow the conversation to flow until they were finished and exited the restaurant.

But along the way to the exit. Brex caught a quick glimpse of a small flash of magic that was being stealthily made by the queen as a piece of paper flew out from under their table and zipped into his jacket as to not be noticed by anyone else after it flew around a couple of objects in other people. He then took this opportunity to excuse himself by saying he needed to go to the restroom. Upon locking himself into one of the stalls, Brex began to search his jacket and opened up a folded piece of paper and started to read to himself After making sure that there were no other people within the bathroom and doing a quick check for any listening devices through the means of magic.

“My apologies for the unexpected visit. We have come here in regards to the completion of the task that was set forth in Section 22 And already to move on to the next part. Also, there is a matter of great importance that we must meet face to face to discuss when you are free. By the way, are those two with you also a part of your herd? I believe their names are Gilda and Rainbow if I am not mistaken from what Rory has told me. I hope your date night goes well and we shall see you later.” Brex had to sit down onto the toilet seat after lowering the lid to rest his hand against his head as he mumbled the following to himself in a resigned tone. “Rory… Exactly what about my personal life have you been talking to the queen with?”

Sometime later after exiting the bathroom and joining his dates. All three were found at the local bar and sitting at one of the booths facing the stage. There was already close to half a dozen empty glasses that range from full mugs and others that were meant for drinking shots. There was some dancing and karaoke being performed by random people that came in. There were moments when everything got a little rowdy here and there, but for the most part it was pretty calm. There was one mare at the counter called Barry Punch who was keeping up with one order after the next.

It quickly dawned on him that the two at his sides had been going there as regulars to where they had an open tab set up. Speaking of the two, they were holding their liquor pretty well. Although they were already showing the effects after lowering their guard and being just a little clingier as they used him for some additional support in the same sitting position as back in the restaurant after moving their chairs closer to his side of the round table. In the beginning, it was a little stiff until they got a few drinks into their systems and began to loosen up and turn into a pair of party girls.

As per the usual, Brex abstained from drinking any real alcohol and only had either water or the special brew that was brought over and produced in one of the factories he had a hand in running. The brew itself was supposed to take on a flavor that best suited the individual’s tastes. But on his part, Brex always found it odd that it would constantly change its taste from one bottle to the next. At one point he thought it was Cola flavored. Then it was unexpectedly replaced with chocolate milk.

There was even one time where he thought that he had picked up his glass of water instead of his mug and the brew took on the taste of water, which greatly confused him. His current mug then took on the taste of grape juice and he began to wonder if there was a chance that it would randomly take on cough medicine with how it was being so random. This of course brought up the feeling that he should probably do some type of quality check to find out if anyone else was having these odd experiences, or if it was probably just because of his own personality.

In this world, Brex had to adapt pretty quickly with how to dance with numerous partners. If it were not for Rory and the others back at home, then he would not have had the practice over the years when it came to going on to the dance floor. But of course, Brex new that this was all a part of Rory's long-term plan to expand his options by giving him some pointers well ahead of time and he really did not mind at all as it was fun in the first place. But now he was really putting it to the test as he kept having to alternate between Gilda and Rainbow. The music would be fast paced and a little difficult to keep up with at one moment, then switch up with a slower set for some more intimate close range body movements.

Brex almost had to step in when an incident occurred after a couple of the more intoxicated mare’s got a bit over their heads and made some comments about how they wanted to take Brex for themselves for some private fun in the back After trying to push into their dancing. This obviously rubbed the two girls at his sides in the wrong way and Rainbow ended up doing a roundhouse kick to knock two out after she literally exploded with anger. Gilda however imitated a move that Brex himself use on a couple of large Lions by grabbing two of their heads in the front and stepping forward with enough force to get them to lose balance and slam the pair into the ground just hard enough to cause a couple of empty glasses on a nearby table to rattle.

One was left after this display and she practically fainted on the spot and fell back on her own when she received two sets of eyes that had shifted towards her direction with enough malice to petrify even a Cockatrice. That was when he wondered if it was a good idea to make these two any stronger than they already were. At this rate they might actually take off someone's head in the same way a top is removed from a simple bottle after giving it a twist. This blatant display of strength turned out to be just what was needed to curve a few hungry mare's that had their eyes glued his way and return to their own activities before the others could try anything themselves.

He then thought about how it was that Rainbow could easily get so riled up, but he had no idea that she would explode with such little provocation. When it came to Gilda, he was already accustomed to her violent outbursts so it was not really all that surprising to him. But at this rate there was absolutely no doubt anywhere in his head that she would kick the next Royal's ass that tried anything with her with the rate she was growing. He even had a brief instant of imagining a scenario for Gilda to be kicking the solar princess through a brick wall and pinning the Alicorn to the ground with one well-placed paw after asserting her dominance after only a few years.

Not long past before they were all sitting at their booth once again for the both of them to take a breather with him in the middle. By which time the music shifted to a slower one as one of the other mare's who were on a date to sing a song to their stallion. He then thought it must have been a special occasion as the lighting shifted to match the singer on stage. As Brex was listening to the tune. His Partners began to lean against him again and rest their heads into his arms. But the position only lasted for a few moments before they maneuvered his arm so that they were now pressing firmly onto his body as his hands wrapped around them both along the waist.

After furrowing his brow in confusion with how easily they did this trick with such well-timed practice motions. Brex asked a question just loud enough to be heard over the music, but not at a volume that could be picked up by anyone else at another table in hopes of diffusing the situation. “Have you both had too much to drink?” In response, Gilda shook her head and gave a relaxed sigh that was not in her usual cocky style and spoke with a seductive tone with both of her eyes closed. “I'm just glad that we got to finally go out. Just having a normal night makes up for what I had to go through for this dress.”

Rainbow reached over and was now placing her right hand onto his stomach as she added to the conversation after rubbing her own face into his jacket to get a little more comfortable. “Yeah. Not to mention getting my hair under control. It used to be I would just give it a couple of brushes and call it a day. Felt like I was standing at the mirror for an hour trying to get myself to look just right. Count yourself lucky big guy that I’d go through so much effort.” Brex was just about to say something to apologize to the Pegasus. But she continued with a small smile that he caught and this stopped him in his tracks. “Heh, I’m beginning to understand a little bit when it comes to how Rarity tries to keep up her appearance.”

Those words nearly made his mind go blank as he registered that the Tomboy was agreeing with the neat freak diva to some extent. After his temporary mental breakdown and restructuring was completed within a couple of seconds. Brex quickly glanced again at Rainbows name above her head to check if she was under some kind of mental de-buff. When he found nothing wrong, he just contributed it all to the copious amounts of alcohol running through her veins. This thought was only fortified even further as she suddenly took a hold of his right hand and gently guided it over to her chest so that his palm was pressing up against where her right breast should have been under the dress. This caused Rainbow to let out a sharp gasp that quickly turned into a lustful moan.

His eyes shot wide open and he was about to pull his arm away and reprimand the Pegasus when Gilda did the same act with his other arm and gave off an appreciative hum of delight. She then started to whisper to him, along with giving a set of half lidded eyes. “It's all right master~. We already talk to Rory and she told us that this was okay to do.” Brex was internally freaking out as he allowed the pair to continue with guiding his hands so that his fingers slowly gripped on to the different sized breasts of the two. Gilda's were not what one would call large, but they were still a far cry from what Rory had as the Griffin had very athletic figure.

As for what was going on with his right hand. The Roegadyn felt another set that was obviously more advantageous for one who was all about speed when flying and having one size up on his number one girl. He even berated himself on lowering his guard and was about to pull his hands away when he heard Rory's voice in his head. “Just go along with it Master. They're obviously drunk and might not remember any of it in the morning anyway. Why not take advantage of it and relieve some of your stress?”

Brex immediately shot back with a slightly angry tone to his inner voice. “For fuck’s sake Rory! Them being drunk is the exact reason why I shouldn't! They're inhibitions are completely gone and they have no idea of what they're doing.”

“Please master~. Would you believe me if I said that this is exactly what they wanted to do from the very start?”

“Huh?”

Now sounding to be completely exasperated, Rory said the following with a deadpan tone of her own that just spoke volumes about how much she was having a hard time with believing in his reactions. “As much as you like to say otherwise, it's blatantly obvious that you have strong feelings for the both of 'em. Just accept that we're not on Earth and be a little more flexible. Yes, they went a little too far with sneaking into our house, I'll give them that. But they want to show that they're genuinely interested in you. Relationships in Equestria are way different and physical contact between dating partners come so much earlier than on Earth’s conventional standards when it comes to having multiple dates beforehand.”

“Rory, you're really beginning to overstep your bounds here. I thought you were telling them to make no funny business.”

“No~. What I basically said was them to respect your wishes. All you have to do is reject them right now and they'll accept it. It's completely up to you whether you want to try anything with them and they're just giving a little push. Let's not forget you nearly jumping on them when you were giving Gilda her Dragoon Soul Stone. Then let's also count how they reacted when they beat up that group of mare's in the bar just now when they threatened to take you away from them.”

By now, his hands were being made to fully grope the Griffin and Pegasus so much that he was beginning to hear their heavy breath and sharp intake of air as he replied to Rory with even more panic. “B-But I... and they've been drinking! I-I can’t just-.” For him, the world was beginning to go into a spiral as he felt a small panic attack beginning to form. These were not Rory, Rin or Lin. It took him a while to even allow the second two to be as close as they were. If his eyes were to be completely visible right now. Then they would be shrunk into the size of dots and full of fear.

His rational mind was the only thing keeping him from freaking out to those outside as another part was almost thrashing about uncontrollably with nothing but the pure desire to push these two away and to rush out of the building with as little tacked as a stampeding rhino. He was sure that he could just barely make out a fading echo of Rory’s voice as he felt a disturbingly wet sensation underneath his mask. At first, he thought he might have been crying. Then it quickly grew to where he was almost sure that something was squirming under the wood.

He wanted to react to this. But his body felt extremely sluggish to where he could not move as the world around him began to slow down to a crawl and eventually a complete stop. Even the colors turned bland before shifting to a grayish state. The very heart that was housed within his chest was beating so hard that it was beginning to cause him some mild discomfort. At the moment he blinked his eyes, there were parts of the bar that had undergone some small transformations.

Some of the patrons were now dressed in sharp suits with a couple of them brandishing a suitcase that were either on the table or in their hands. Where the microphone should have been on stage was now an elevated platform and a side area that resembled where a judge and witness would be seated at. The windows were now covered with thick iron bars. What he originally took for as two bouncers that guarded the front door, were now wearing officer uniforms. It took him a second later to realize that each and every person within the building apart from his table were now glaring at him with unyielding eyes filled with a dangerous level of anger. He even found a pawn inspection that those that were male had undergone a change and turned into mare’s.

And when he looked down. He was filled with horror when his dates were replaced with strange black creatures that only showed a single large eyeball that was the size of his own head. Multiple tendrils wrapped around the back of the seat and along his arms to force his own hands to slowly sink into the black gooey mess that was a part of their bodies. Unable to move, scream, or even think rationally enough to use his magic or skills to break free. Brex began to feel his strength beginning to be sucked from his very being and was about to resign to his fate when a series of metallic clangs filled the bar.

The iron bars along the windows were sliced into small pieces as the remains clattered to the ground by an unseen force before fading. The judge and witness stand were reduced to nothing but a pile of timber after being bisected several times over. The heads of all the patrons were cleanly taken off all at once to where they were going in slow motion towards the ground with clearly shocked expressions. The pair on either side of them soon exploded as black viscous fluid shot across the dance floor. All of this occurred within a fraction of a second and was unable to keep track of it all and register what had happened until the very end.

His attention was brought down to the table itself when he heard more of the strange weapon sounds and saw how there was two words being gouged out on the wooden table in bold letters that took the entire surface with an aggressive writing style saying, “WAKE UP!” Suddenly, Brex felt as though a semi-truck was pulled off of his chest and he blinked to find himself with everything back to the way it once was. The only difference now was the strong suspicion that he had forgotten something very important before he was brought back to reality by the pair of feminine voices that gave off a chorus of sensual moans and heating up bodies pressing against his own.

With the noise being produced by all the others on the dance floor and many tables enjoying themselves, as well as on top of the music, Brex did not have to worry about their activities drawing too much attention with how they were sitting in the corner. A creeping blush slowly enveloped his cheeks as his eyes stayed glued straight ahead while both hands were being carefully guided by the much smaller ones of the girls. Yes, the Roegadyn was experienced when it came to touching Rory's, as well as his two maid's. But seeing as this was a date and he refrained from making any type of move was almost tantalizing in the metaphorical sense of having a chance at getting himself some forbidden fruit.

After a couple of seconds went by. His fingers brushed up against Gilda's nipple and felt the metal piercings as his thumb and index fingers were made to lightly pinch on them and give a subtle pull. This caused him to have a quick flashback to how she entered his cabin and undressed herself to approach his bed while they were riding on board the Yuna. At the same moment, a similar situation was happening over on Rainbow's side when he felt her own stiffening under his index finger that she was skillfully causing to twirl around in a clockwise fashion through the dress.

When he tilted his head downwards. He was taken aback by how his dates were now leaning up against him with the sides of their heads and practically drooling as both sets of eyes were becoming unfocused. Gilda had her left eye closed as the other remained barely open and a tongue that was half hanging out of her beak with every pant. Her free hand that was not currently occupied with his own had already pulled up a part of the dress along the slit and was reaching underneath to go between her legs. She then gave a very strong shutter throughout her body with the feathers along her wings bristling when she made him pinch on to her pierced nipple sharply.

Brex's eyes went wide at this and nearly dropped his jaw. His site quickly shot over to his right leg when Rainbow placed her free hand onto it started to lightly grip her fingernails after containing a particularly strong moan from escaping her lips after shutting them tightly for a couple of seconds before letting out a big huff of warm air That he was almost positive he could see. If he were a full-on cartoon character right now, then he might have had swirling eyes as he was barely able to bring his overloaded head to come to terms with a very notion that they had somehow orgasm from the mere action of being fondled.

With him finally processing what had gone on after several long seconds had passed without either of them slowing down with using his hands. A sudden surge of warmth and a great amount of pressure was being felt between his own legs to signify that his little mini me was aroused and attempting to do a full salute by straining the fabric that was trying its best to keep it in check. With a renewed sense of urgency that was now replacing his confusion from earlier. Brex was about to let go and try to stand up when he saw a pair of hands coming out from underneath the table. Almost with the speed of a striking viper, they gripped onto the bulge in his pants.

He would have instinctually kicked over the table and sent whoever it was down there to the far side of the room within a blink of an eye if he had not seen Rory's face peeking out and giving him a devilish wink as she began to rub her face into his package. He then said in his mind and what could have been none other than a loud scream. “Where in the Seven Hells did you come from?!?! Don't tell me you, and them?” Without even wasting a moment to unzip his pants and take his rod into her mouth and down her throat, Rory answered through the connection with clear lust being transmitted directly into his head so the noise all around them could not drown it out.

“Hehe~. Can't blame me for wanting to make things a little interesting~. Not to mention I know very well that you'll just rush off if this little guy down here didn't get drained. And there’s no way I’m missing on this little opportunity.” While trying to seem as though nothing was going on and being calm on the outside. Brex gave a long moan through his mind while mentally chastising Rory with small grunts occurring whenever she started to suck on his member whenever it got to the point of nearly leaving her mouth before thrusting it down her throat over and over again. “This is just-. Gngh! Ju-Just another one of those kinky fantasies you've been wanting to try out! Nngh!”

“Hehe-hehe! Master, let's not forget who made me~. What I want is merely an extension of your own desires. The only difference is that I don't have as much restraint as you do and have no problems with initiating. I can see Gilda's pretty much at her limit now. And oh my! Just check out Rainbow~. Off in her own little world by the looks of it. Kinda makes me think she’s a virgin.” He was barely able to pull himself away from watching Rory to look at what she was talking about and had to resist himself with taking a second look as Rainbow had an unfamiliar facial expression.

Yeah, in the past, he had seen her expressing anger, doubt, fear, confidents, skepticism, laughter, embarrassment and signs of being a little more than hungry for some sexual content. But right now, she was looking at him with what he thought to be a mixture of drunkenness and intense levels of euphoria. But beyond that was the true surprise as she displayed a part of her personality that screamed that she was in a very vulnerable state of mind that reminded him of Fluttershy to a point. He then questionably asked Rory through the connection as he was locking eyes with the Pegasus. “Huh... Ok um, confused for a party of one. Did I miss her getting hit with a spell by one of Twilight's random misfires at some point while we were drinking?”

Rory then replied with a triumphant tone. “Ha-ha! I just knew it. Our hardcore racing girl finally had a reason to show her vulnerable girlie self. All tough on the outside for the world. Always keeping her guard up whether she wants to or not. Master finally broke through that wall. What's that one part of that song again? Its on the tip of my tongue. Ah yes, I remember now! It went as, Came in like a wrecking ball.” For the amount of time that it would have taken him to blink. He could have sworn that there were glowing pink hearts in the Pegasus’s eyes as she gave him a dreamy expression before practically passing out and going limp in his arm after another strong shutter and displaying a broad smile.

The scene continued for several long minutes as Rory finished him off and zipped up his pants before crawling out from under the table so she could sit on the other side of Rainbow. Who just so happened to be still clinging onto him as though he were a large teddy bear and she was more fearful of anything to lose her grip. All the while murmuring some unintelligible words from under her breath. Meanwhile, Gilda was able to hang on for a little while longer before passing out as well once she had brought herself to a second orgasm and slumped the upper part of her body onto the table with her tongue hanging out to where it was practically touching the wood, along with eyes that had rolled to the back of her head.

Brex was just silently opening his mouth repeatedly like a flounder for a moment before he asked Rory the following with a disbelieving tone as he slowly looked back and forth between the two. “This is definitely not normal for Earth customs. Soooo~. Don't tell me that there is a part of their mating rituals that I am unaware of. And… Does this technically count towards sexual assault?” Rory began to help with carrying the both of them out of the bar and into the comfortable cool night air where there was barely anyone on the streets before she eventually replied. “Eh, don't look at me. You're the one completely messing up their normal routine. Besides, they just look adorable clinging to you like that.”

What she was referring to, was the way he was managing to hold both of the girls off of the ground so that they were partially sitting on his arms. Their bodies were turned towards the middle and wrapping their arms around his neck while rubbing their heads against both sides in their drunken state. With a strained look on his face. Brex turned towards the direction of the road that would lead to Rainbow's cloud house and said, “Flying is one thing when it's just by myself. Although I'm a little hesitant when passengers are along. And there's no way I can walk on clouds. Oh well, guess I'll just go ahead and take them over to Gilda's place instead.”

Rory gave a quick shake of the head before saying, “That's not possible. She moved in with Rainbow.”

“Wha? When did she go and do that?”

“Not long after the gala I think.”

Brex gave his head a small shake before he said, “I'm beginning to see a trend of being the last one to be brought into the fold tonight. By the way. Did you happen to know that the queen was going to be paying us a visit?”

Rory just gave him a big smile before averting her eyes in a playful gesture. This prompted him to give her a long stare down as she began to visibly show signs of sweating before she finally broke down after about half a minute. “Okay! Enough already Master! Geez. It was a surprise to all of us. And I was only just told by Lin when you were leaving. When I noticed how these two were making their move, I started to make my way over and ran into the queen at the gate.”

“So they're at our place right now?”

“Yep.”

“I suppose it would be the best place to have a little discussion. Way more secure than some restaurant.” Brex released a deep sigh as his neck began to feel a little heated up. He then said as he began to trudge along back home, “I guess there's going to be a sleepover. They should be fine sharing the same bed.”

Rory then had one of her Cheshire Cat grins while maniacally rubbing her hands together as she said the following. “Here’s an idea. We could always toss them in our bed and see how they react in the morning.” Brex rolled his eyes before giving her an exhausted reply when they began to walk past a number of shops with their lights turned off and getting close to the small bridge located near the center of town. “I'm not that cruel to put them through that kind of a joke when they're obviously going to be nursing one heck of a hangover.” There was a stretch of silence before Rory began to ask him a more serious question when they reach the outskirts of the town and walking on the dirt path leading straight to their mansion at the top of the hill.

“Feel any different?”

“Huh? Come on, you know I don't drink.”

Rory gave a playful eye roll as she continued. “Everybody knows that about you Master.”

“You don't even have to ask me that question. We're connected after all.”

“Hearing your immediate thoughts and small sensations of how you feel is not enough. I want to hear it straight from your own lips on your thoughts on them. The girl then shows the moment to gesture towards the ones he was carrying before taking a position in front of him so that she was walking backwards to gage his reactions better with a skeptical look. Brex turned his head slightly to the left as if showing he was attempting to avert his gaze from her. It took him a long couple of seconds for him to gather his thoughts and come up with something clear to say while Rory just slightly raised her right eyebrow and took on a waiting gesture with both arms crossed in front of herself.

Brex took that chance to stop in his tracks to glance up at the night sky that was filled with so many stars that it would have been impossible to see back on Earth with the amount of pollution in the air as he replied in a thoughtful and reserved tone. “I've known Gilda since she was no taller than my knee and became close with her immediate family members. It was a rough patch when it came to fitting-in. and being a non-pony myself allowed me to connect with her when it was possible. A stubborn nature that compels to get into a headlong fight and could put a Minotaur to shame. So much anger and mistrust were just covering up her fear of being alone.”

He released a heavy breath right there before he continued. “Sure the girl made a number of mistakes and ruffled more than a handful of feathers. But at least she's owning up to them and is trying very hard.” There was a small chuckle as he went on. “She's definitely changed from that welcoming party of Pinkies. No more needless fights and seems to be getting along with everyone in town now. Can you even believe that I overheard a couple of the kids over at the elementary school saying how they want to grow up and become just like her?”

“And~. How about Rainbow over there?”

A quick scoff came from his lips before he started to talk in a more playful tone. “What can I say. Arrogant, insensitive, unable to read the room, can't keep her mouth shut whenever she hears a strong opinion that disagrees with her own. Thinks with her fists faster than she thinks with her own head. She's extremely competitive and I've heard her make the accusation that someone's a spy on a number of occasions. Heck! Our first interaction was her doing a full flying body slam without so much as saying a word to me.”

After a moment, the Roegadyn's voice turned a little softer once he gave out another huff. “Yet all I know is that she is like that because of her friends. It's easy to tell that she's loyal and is putting her best effort to getting stronger so that they don't get hurt. I can't tell you how often she tries to push herself in a fight just to keep Applejack from taunting any more than she needs to. Going head long into the fight to take down the target as quickly as she can. Always ready to defend Fluttershy. At the same time, she has a lot of qualities that I can see from Gilda. I guess what I'm saying is... is that I'm... Er, beginning to warm up to them.” Brex quickly added to that in a rushed tone. “A-And I'm not saying that because of what happened on the date, okay!”

He received a genuine smile from Rory as she spun around and called over her shoulder to resume their walk. “I think that's all I needed to hear. Now come on Master. It might be a good idea to get them inside before they catch a cold.” And with that they proceeded to the mansion and ordered the maids to bring the girls to a spare bedroom and make them comfortable after entering through the front doors. Once the current issue was resolved and Rory went off somewhere, it did not take him that long to find Queen Bellona and the second Changeling in one of the waiting rooms.

The queen herself was sitting in one of the sofas. She was currently reading one of the books that he had copied from some children's story from Earth that he changed a little so that it involved an old stallion that created a toy likeness of a colt that came to life and wanted to become real. Brex had to contain himself from laughing as he recalled writing that out in some small hopes that it would help with preparing kids to watch out for strangers and to be good to their parents by listening.

The youngest instantly slammed the one she was reading when she noticed that he was in the room and hastily placed it back onto the shelf before turning in his way and adopting an attention stance while looking very flustered. Seeing as how he organized all of them himself. Brex was easily able to determine that she had been reading the one about a large green Ogre that was sent on to a quest by a very short stallion after having his home taken away. And by his guess, she might have been nearly halfway through and somewhere around the point where the princess was getting rescued from the fire breathing dragon.

There was that one small part that had the main character sliding on the rocks after rescuing his teammate partner from getting a sloppy kiss from the aforementioned dragon and getting his nuts hit during the chase that made him cringe when he wrote it down. The point of that story was to make it obvious to the readers that one should not judge another by their outward appearance or rumors. There was also a small uproar among a few of the bookstores that copies were practically flying off the shelves faster than they could get them shipped in. In this world the concept of a male lead being the underdog was still a new concept and it erupted in popularity.

Without showing so much as a hint of surprise about his entry. Queen Bellona carefully closed her book and placed it on to the table before giving a small nod to him and beckoning the other Changeling over to sit next to her as she spoke in a way that came off more as a gentle motherly figure when addressing him. “Might I be correct in assuming that your date went well and that you don't mind that we let ourselves be comfortable. These stories are quite captivating. The authors of your homeland are very diverse with various subjects. So much so that they could easily draw me into the plot to where I can’t wait to move on to the next sentence without some anticipation.

Brex went over and sat across from them and pointed towards the book that had been placed down and said, “By all means, please take it with you and return the book whenever you're able. And yes, the date did go well. The only issue is that getting them back home is a difficult task. So they're just sleeping in one of the guest rooms after having a little too much to drink. He then gestured towards the other one in the room and asked the Queen the following as he reclined into the couch. “And just who might your company be this evening? I can say with confidence that it’s not every day that I have had the opportunity to meet someone who is just a stone throw’s away from reaching level seventy.”

After saying that, Brex was sure that he caught the younger Changeling flinching and sitting up so rigid that he was almost certain that she was being called out by a drill sergeant. After giving a nervous gulp, along with eyes looking straight ahead and turning into small dots. The girl had even gone so far as to hold her breath for just a second or two before the queen rested a hand on her leg to give some assurance before calming down. Once the queen was sure that everything was okay. She was engulfed in a quick veil of green fire for just a moment to reveal her true form.

This caused Brex to give a small smirk as he was astounded even after all these years that she had kept her youthful figure and had not aged a single day. He then recalled a time when he was informed that the queen had a much longer lifespan and retained their youthful vitality long into their old age. It kind of reminded him of some special technique from an anime that reverted their body to a more youthful time that they were at their absolute peak physical condition. Taking this as a queue, the other did the same. But instantly took on a slight green tint to her cheeks as her wings gave a quick flutter to indicate that she was somewhat embarrassed for some reason.

After giving a small giggle and glancing over. Queen Bellona then said wild gesturing to her right. “Come now~. Are you saying you have forgotten of the first of my daughters you have helped? Alas, I will admit she has undergone quite a growth spurt so I won’t hold you at fault.” The Changeling placed her hands so that the palms were on top of each other right over her legs and gave a quick bow that caused a quick gust of wind and nearly struck the table while leaning down as she gave a stuttering response. “So-so ni-nice to meet you again my Lord! T-The honor is all yours! N-No! I meant the honor is all mine!”

Queen Bellona had a smile that was slowly creeping on to the edge of her lips, along with a quick eye roll before she began to cause her horn to glow with a faint light. Soon Brex found himself a second later hearing a set of voices in his head that obviously came from the pair sitting across from where he was. One was that of the queen giving a reassuring voice as the other was clearly panicked and hysterically complaining and making him think of a teenager.

“Please do calm down. There is no reason to be this nervous.”

“No reason to be nervous?! Mother! He obviously thinks I'm a fool! Did you not hear me just now? I'm so stupid-stupid-stupid! What was the point of standing in front of the mirror! Huh? Why is your horn glowing? Oh for the love of the Hive, Mother!!! You did not just open up a link, please tell me you did not!”

“If I did say no, then it would just be a lie.”

The young Changeling had her eyes snapping towards him and strongly conveyed that her mother was playing a prank on her. But when Brex gave a small wave and said a quick “Hello.” She instantly turned bright green which just so happens to be the Changeling’s way of having a red blush before slapping both hands over her face and releasing a small squeal of embarrassment. Brex brought his attention back over to the queen when she gave a seemingly innocent, yet maniacal chuckle at her daughter's expense before she extinguished the magic and brought out a large brown envelope and handed it over to him before she started to speak again.

“I find that being straightforward and showing ourselves to be the best Icebreaker. Also, here is a report on the Crystal Caverns. The installation was a success and a number of my children along with myself have already undergone the process. All that is left is for us to do the same here.” By that point, she was gesturing down towards the floor with a finger while Brex opened up the envelope and pulled out a diagram depicting a large Crystal with orbiting rings just above a raised stone platform. This turned out to be one of the transportation crystals that was at the center of every city, small town and outpost within the game for a player to attune themselves and teleport between locations as an anchor point when delving Into The Aether flow of the world.

So far Brex had over a dozen of them scattered across Equestria and one situated near the coastline of neighboring countries. After a mountain of research was put into the program, the Roegadyn finally recreated the vital tool to allow others to teleport. Sure, it was not able to transport goods from one place to the next. But as long as a person had the objects on their bodies then it was no problem. Counting what they just installed in the Crystal Cavern underneath Canterlot, back at HQ, various bunkers and the private one under his house. There was a grand total of seventeen and all.

As for the one at his mansion. The only ones who were attuned were none other than himself, Rory, Rin and of course Lin. Not even the queen herself had access to come and go as she pleased. And on that note, Brex responded after waving his index finger. Now now. We both know that crystal is strictly for those that live here. Anyway. What was the second topic that you wanted to bring up for coming all this way yourself. A signal to either of your daughter's stationed here would have been enough if you just wanted to let me know that the transport crystal was finished.”

“We merely came by to personally invite you to a celebration that we will be having in a couple of days.”

“Oh well that's news. What's the occasion?”

The queen placed a hand onto the younger Changeling’s shoulder before she answered with a beaming smile. “My daughter will finally be receiving her name in front of the hive.” This was followed with her excitedly clapping her hands and bringing her daughter in for a bone crushing hug that finally got her to show her face again. Unfortunately, she was silently screaming for her mother to let go as she could not breathe and violently tapping onto the older one’s shoulder with a couple of fingers to get her attention as to what was happening.

Once the excitable parent released her grip. The daughter went back to a far more comfortable seated position to fix her wings and dress and started to twiddle her index fingers around one another as her eyes shifted down to her hands and up to him a number of times before she managed to get her voice back. “T-Tradition states that I will be able to receive my name on my twenty third birthday and officially received the title of p-princess for being able to take over the hive when my mother sees fit that she will no longer be able to lead it. P-Please! It would mean the world to me if you were to attend!”

To him, this girl was as nervous as anyone could get. If he did not know any better, then he might have thought that she had been hanging out with Fluttershy with just going off of the way she asked for him to be there with a submissive tone that she probably wanted to come off as more confident. After giving it a quick thought. Brex saw that there were no problems with going. Info was still being collected from the network of spies and a couple of doppelgangers. Not to mention the school was not planning on any field trips to Canterlot to indicate the time of Discord's release being anytime soon.

Brex quickly gave a firm nod and said, “It would be my pleasure. I would be a fool not to witness the crowning of a new princess. By the way. Has the name already been picked out?” The queen closed her eyes and gave a quick playful laugh before she responded, along with a dismissive gesture with her right hand. “My Lord will have to wait just like all the rest. Not even my daughter knows what it will be until the time comes. Even with it not being official yet. My subjects have already begun to refer to her as Princess.”

He then made sure that she knew that he was facing his mask directly towards the younger Changeling before giving a light bow of his head and said, “Well then Princess. I'm sure that your mother will choose a lovely name.” What came next caused his eyes to almost bulge out from surprise as the temporarily named Princess shifted to a brighter green color that started from her cheeks and eventually covered her entire body so quickly. The wings on her back that were lightly moving had gone so stiff along with the rest of everything else. He was just about to ask if something was wrong when the queen spoke up.

“Oh dear! Oh, uh please don't mind her. She tends to get like this at times and just needs a couple of minutes to calm down.” A few seconds went by with him clearly being a little worried before his thoughts were taken away by a knock on the door. This was followed by a familiar young boy’s voice. “Hey Gambit. Rin told me you were in here.” Queen Bellona took on her disguise in a flash. Unfortunately for Princess, that was not the case as she was unresponsive and only blankly stared straight ahead and at the wall.

Brex responded by calling over his shoulder while getting up an excusing himself to get to the door without giving any hints that he had company. “Hold up Spike! Just give me a second, I just got to put this last signature and I'll be right out.” As he was about to close the door behind himself after exiting the room and placing himself in a position to keep the young drake from looking past. Brex picked up on the queen whispering something with a somewhat embarrassed tone that a mother would give to a child that had done something both stupid and adorable. “Just what am I going to do with you? Even after begging me to bring you along...”

Brex then turned his attention to Spike and tilted his head in confusion. Apparently seeing what was happening, Spike went on to say, “So yeah. Do you think it's okay if I spend the night here? Twilight's been... a little much for me. But everything should be just fine by tomorrow morning. Er… I hope.”

Brex responded with clear dryness in his voice. “Is our purple pony acting normal crazy, or worried crazy?”

“Oh yeah! Definitely worried crazy. I was in the middle of preparing to make dinner tonight and she came into the kitchen. Her mane was completely in shambles. The whole twitching eye, nervous ticks and being way more impatient than she normally is.”

“Hmm, I can’t really see a difference from her day-to-day self.”

“Ha! You say that, but you weren't there when she saw some of the ingredients I had on the counter.”

With a raised eyebrow, he reluctantly asked. “Exactly what was on the counter?”

Spike replied with a face that just radiated how much he was over everything. “A cucumber was laying there with two tomatoes... For the princess’s sake, it's never been this bad. Every scale on my body told me I needed to get out of there tonight.”

Brex pulled the whole Monkey D Luffy face with his eyes going wide, while also sucking his lips in from behind his mask as he slowly padded Spike’s left shoulder with a consoling gesture before saying, “That was definitely the right choice to make buddy.” To him, there were a couple of stories that involved these two hooking up that he found to be very stimulating. But with how he was basically treating him like a little brother in this world only made it seem wrong and caused the Roegadyn to be worried for the young drake.

Afterwards, they exchanged a few more words and the pair decided to go off to another room to do a little late-night training. The scene then transitions to a later point in the evening with both Brex and Spike with a part of the mansion that was littered with multiple types of workout equipment. These ranged from treadmills, various types of weights that could be pulled with the use of cables in various directions, dumbbells of every size from what a small kid could use and all the way up to something that a weight lifting champion would be seen with.

A couple of training dummies with targets painted on different parts were on one side of the room along with wooden training weapons. Most of which were a little smaller than normal. The voice of Brex could be heard with a couple of metallic clanks echoing in the background. “Come on, come on, you can do it, just two more. Almost there!” Spike responded with clear exhaustion in his voice as he strained to call out a few numbers that coincided with a set of grunts on his part. “Eighteen... Nineteen... TWENTY! Phew! I think... that's my limit tonight.”

What could be seen next was Brex grabbing on to the large set of dumbbells and carefully took it from Spike that was laying on his back and placed it onto the holders with a heavy clank. The kid was wearing a pair of black workout shorts and a white tank top shirt that was now drenched and sweat. Both hands even had a layer of thin white tape that was wrapped around to give some protection. His arms laid hanging down at his sides as he shakely got back up to a sitting position. Brex tossed him a towel and a bottle of water as he patted him on the back and commended his workout.

“Way-to-go! I can't believe you can already bench press two hundred and eighty pounds. That's more than your body weight. Not to mention doing three reps of twenty. Man, you could pick up a pony and toss 'em over a fence if you wanted to. Seriously, are you positive that you're not older than Twilight?” Spike scratch the back of his head after hearing that and gave him a broad smile after taking a big gulp of water. The kid then said, “Hahaha, it's only because I'm getting a lot of help. Besides all that meat that I've been eating is really beginning to show some results.”

What Spike said was a clear understatement as he was showing off a set of ab’s that were slowly beginning to form if he were to pull up his shirt a little bit. The thin framework from weeks prior became much firmer with muscles developing all over the place to give him the start of an athletic build. This was only further enforced with a clear full foot being added to his height. The scales along his body gave off a brighter sheen when compared to when he first arrived in Ponyville. The spikes on top of his head also started to be a bit longer and slightly pointy instead of the clear roundness they once had.

If anyone was to come into town and never met either Spike or Twilight, then they might have thought that he was the older brother with how he now was roughly an inch taller than the purple Unicorn. But what Brex found strange was the way that there was no one who seemed to have acknowledge the changes and acted as though he had not grown up at all. Within his mind, the Roegadyn contemplated on just how oblivious these Ponies were when it came to subtle changes. Then again, it might not have registered so much with him not being of their race.

After wiping himself off a little more. Spike got onto his legs and went over to the training dummy area and stood about five yards away from one that had a couple of scorch marks here and there that were the size of baseballs. Brex playfully rolled his eyes before joining him and standing off to the left and a few steps right behind as he watched the drake begin to do a couple of breathing exercises with one foot forward to help with bracing himself up for what he was about to do.

After taking in a few deep breaths and having his hands put together in a meditation gesture to get him more relaxed. Spike took in one quick jet of air and held it for a couple of seconds before releasing it in one long exhale to produce a flame that took on the shape of a fireball. It swirled with a jet-black outline as the inside was a neon green that bathed the room with a similar shade while flying at an astounding speed towards the target.

If anything, Brex thought he was looking at some fire bender. The attack struck near the center of the painted target that was meant to be the chest area and exploded with enough force to cause the room to give a small shake from the impact. A plume of dark smoke shrouded that part of the room that it hit for a couple of seconds as it all slowly dissipated. After a couple of seconds, Brex gave off a big whistle as he rubbed his hair on the back of his head with his right hand after witnessing that the wooden dummy was almost obliterated from the waist going up.

A few green flames and a couple of falling bits of embers remained of the lower half. A sound came from Spike as he began to jump for joy in place. “Woohoo! Did you see, did you see what I did?!” Brex then joked with, “Remind me not to be in front of you when you have your hiccups again! Haha-haha! There's a whole lot of force behind those shots now.” As Spike ran over to check on his newly destroyed target. The Roegadyn used his inspection on the kid and brought up his information.

From what he knew. Spike did not have any real fighting experience apart from the Diamond Dogs kidnapping of Rarity while he was away. It was Rory and the others that took care of them and sent the pack running for the hills. But he still got some experience after being with them during that incident. Currently, the kid was at level four but without any type of job classification. He even went so far as to go over to the stats and saw that they were way above what they should have been.

In the game, an adult person's maximum stat would be twenty-one and the others would be somewhere around fifteen for a level one player. But even with four levels. His were already saying that a majority of them were tripled. Strength, stamina and speed were already over sixty points. The other stats were half of that. However, the intelligence broke one hundred. This of course was the explanation for his fireballs becoming so powerful and destroying a target that should have been able to take hits from a level twenty player. After taking a few tips from a few Dragons he had met, Brex was able to train Spike enough so that his flames were now being utilized in the proper manner and becoming far more powerful.

If he was to go up against a Thaumaturge that was also level four. Then he would easily out class the spellcaster in terms of raw firepower. He then thought about the points and began to come up with a theory of what would happen when Spike was to choose a class and reset back to level one. Since all those numbers were rising even though he had not leveled up. Then it was only logical that he would retain a good portion of it when reverting. The only problem being was for the simple matter of not knowing exactly what the kid would choose considering none of his soul stones have given any kind of reaction to him yet.

A loud growling sound emanated from Spike that brought Brex out of his thought bubble and he excitedly called to the kid. “Spike. If you’re done with admiring your work, then how about you make sure that all your fires are put out and we'll go grab you a quick snack before bed.” The young drake tried to rebuke the statement and said that he was okay to keep on going. To make a point of displaying that he still had energy. He started doing a couple of motions to produce a few fist strikes in the air and a roundhouse kick immediately afterwards.

But Brex said, “It's not good to overwork yourself. As a once Great Master once said. Work hard study well and eat and sleep plenty. Also, we must study the art of peace, as well as the art of war. We achieve victory through the art of war. Victory is one through strategy. Strategy is derived from the art of peace. But if you should witness someone causing unlawful harm to an innocent, then it is our responsibility to step in and put a stop to it. Now hurry up. I'll grill you up some Hydra meat.”

The mentioning of Hydra meat stopped the drake in his tracks and made his mouth hang open just enough to see a row of sharp jagged teeth. It was then followed with a river of saliva that trickled onto the floor with multiple drips before the young guy realized what he was doing and made a quick dash for the door while screaming over to Brex. “Well why didn't you say that first?! Let's go already!”
