Aquatic Actuator and The Goo Pony

Morning in stable 13 always starts with the soft hum of the fluorescent lights turning on to simulate day time. The slowly building illumination of the lights in their quarters helps to wake up the sleepy ponies of the stable and get them ready for another day. In one such room a still tired looking earth pony stallion rolls over and rubs his eyes to clear the sleep from them. Tossing the covers off reveals that he’s missing most of his legs, what remains of his thighs are capped with cyberports. As the light level rises in his room, the stallion drags himself over to the side of his bed, and grabs one of a pair of cybernetic legs hanging from a small stand next to the bed. With a wince he attaches the leg, and a few moments later repeats the process with the other leg.

Climbing out of bed he pulls off his sleeping gown and heads over to his dresser, revealing his dull orange coat and blue-gray mane. After collecting a modified stable suit, clearly equipped with a utility belt, and a clean set of underwear he makes his way into his personal bathroom to clean up. Half an hour later he emerges from the bathroom, his stable suit fits perfectly to make sure that his cyberlegs can be accessed for maintenance or removal if needed. After a quick stop in the cafeteria for breakfast he makes his way down to the stable’s maintenance where he gets to work on checking over the pipes running along the walls of the wing. As he works lifting heavy boxes and carrying tools around, another pony steps into his section of the repairbay and clears their throat.

“Aquatic, the Overstallion wants to see you in his office.” The voice belongs to a slender unicorn standing in the doorway. “Dunno what it’s about but it sounded urgent.”

“I’ll be right there, just need to put the sealant on a pipe fix first.” Aquatic sets down the tool box he’s carrying on the bench and grabs the things he needs from it to quickly patch the pipe. After a quick jog he’s at the pipe joint that’s been leaking, and quickly patches it up before heading up to the Overstallion’s office. As soon as he steps inside the Overstallion turns to him and looks him over.

“Aquatic, there is a serious problem with the stable’s water talisman. It’s failing and if we don’t get a replacement for it soon we will run out of water.”

The bluntness of the Overstallion is shocking, enough to make Aquatic take a step back and he says. “That… that’s very bad.”

“It is, and that is why I called you up here. I need someone to go to stable 15 and retrieve a new water talisman.” The Overstallion says as he stands up and walks around his desk to put a hand on Aquatics shoulder. “Not only do you know what you’re looking for, you know how to assess its condition when you find it, and you’re tough enough to get there and back.”

“I-I promise not to let you down sir!” He says as he salutes the Overstallion.

“I know you won’t. Head down to the armory and get yourself a pistol, you’re probably going to need it.”

~000~

A quick trip to the armory--and cafeteria--later and Aquatic stands at the door to the stable. The giant mechanical arm slowly pulling the door to the side to reveal a massive cave. The light from the door pushing back the darkness quickly vanishes as he steps outside and the door is closed behind him. Swallowing nervously and flicking on the light of his pipbuck, he starts through the cave, following his automap as best he can while keeping his eyes out for any dangers lurking in the darkness waiting to strike. After a couple of minutes of walking a scurrying sound echoed through the cavern, causing him to stop and look around for the source of the noise. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted it as it leapt at him, a giant rat the size of a large dog.

Drawing his pistol he quickly puts a couple of shots into the thing sending it to the ground with a wet thump. Unfortunately the gunshots echo through the cave and are answered back by more scurrying and squeaks of other rats drawn to the sound. Not wanting to get swarmed, Aquatic runs into the darkness, his pipbuck lighting up the cave walls as he charges. Though the rats don’t give up, forcing him to turn and fire as he continues to move back —Bang, Bang, Bang— three more fall as he’s forced to dodge around a stalagmite and continue running. Up ahead the cave opens up into a larger area with light at the far side.

The squeaking and scurrying continues to follow him as he races into and then across the large cave. Dodging more stalagmites and firing a few more times, he dives through the cave entrance and onto the rocky ground outside. The sun momentarily blinds him as he rolls along the ground a good way. He holds still, waiting for them to descend upon him, but the bites never come, and when he can finally see clearly, the rats are nowhere to be seen.

Blinking and looking around, the desolate and dry world. Dead trees stand here and there, and only the heartiest of any plants seem to even exist, all of which look as inedible as the dust itself. Standing up and walking around, the first thing Aquatic notices is that the ground is a mix of sand and rock, as well as hot as hell. Not wanting to waste too much time he quickly check’s where the stable he’s supposed to be and begins trudging off in that direction, as the sun slowly rises above him. The endless sandy dunes of the land almost seem to move with him as he walks.

Plodding across the dusty expanse under the sweltering morning sun, wind blowing wisps of sand across the tops of the hills creates shimmering mirages of rolling waves. Aquatic stops to take a sip from his stable 13 canteen and check his pipbuck. The stable he’s looking for shouldn’t be too far away, a couple days at most, and then he can return to his usual job of fixing things up. Not wanting to get too complacent with his break, he starts walking again, his cybernetic legs sinking into the sand slightly with each step. The boot on each of them helps keep them from getting sand into them, as he trudges along. Off in the distance are the mountains where stable 15 should be, a proper tangible target for him to aim for as he moves across the dunes.

As he walks he hears the creaking of wood and notices a small dead tree that sways in the breeze, the little bushes growing around it all appear to be dry and brittle. As he looks closer a bleached skull of some kind of animal is visible between the dying branches of the bushes. Its empty eyes look back at him reminding him that he too could suffer that fate if he’s not careful. Swallowing and turning away from the dark scene, Aquatic pushes on trying to put that sight out of his mind.

Hour after hour passes as he marches onward, occasionally crossing patches of rock that stick out of the desert sands, standing firm and refusing to be worn away entirely. It’s on one of the rocky outcroppings that Aquatic decides to stop and take a rest. Snacking on of the apples he got from the cafeteria and sipping from his canteen. Over the last six hours he made great progress towards the mountains, however the heat of the day is finally getting to him, forcing him to stop and rest before he passes out from exhaustion.

As he rests on the rock and looks around he notices a mound of sand that appears to be moving towards him. Rubbing his eyes and then shielding them from the sun to get a better view proves that the mound is no mirage. Jumping up and pulling out his pistol he watches it as it speeds towards the outcropping he’s on. As it reaches the rock a massive scorpion bursts out of the sand, flying at him with pincers ready to cut him in half. If not for a quick roll to the side he’d have been in the creature’s pincers. He quickly unloads three shots into the arachnid’s side as he hops back to his feet and then bolts away from the thing.

The scorpion gives chase across the sands as Aquatic runs and fires back at it. The beast is faster than he expected, but thanks to his cyber legs he’s able to outpace it ever so slightly. Jumping over a small bush growing in the cracks of a small patch of rock, Aquatic fires a couple more times at the thing before holstering his weapon and putting everything into his sprint to get away from it. The creature refuses to give up even as he charges towards a large rocky outcropping with a small cave in the side of it.

Leaping up onto the elevated rock and diving through the mouth of the cave, Aquatic draws his pistol again and opens fire on the scorpion as it tries to claw its way into the cave after him. For the first time in his life he activates the Stable-Tec Assisted Targeting Spell, or S.A.T.S, with the intent to use it. The spell guides him in lining up his shots, as he pumps seven shots into the thing’s head. Two bullets tear into its right eye, ripping it free from the head as all but one pound into the thing’s skull. It drops dead with a last wailing shriek, leaving Aquatic gasping for breath on the floor of the cave entrance. Slowly his world goes dark as he finally passes out.

~000~

A while later Aquatic’s eyes slowly open to see the ceiling of the cave, albeit a different portion of it, one covered in glowing lichen and other strange plants he’s never seen before. Sitting up he comes face to face with a strange equine like creature, though one clearly made of some kind of liquid that looks a bit like water. It holds perfectly still as he looks it over, his eyes admiring the strange—feminine—form that it has. Slowly he swallows, takes a deep breath and speaks up. “Hello?”

“Hello.” It—no, she says back after a moment. Her eyes never leave him as she speaks.

“I’m sorry for staring, I’ve never seen any..pony? like you before.” Aquatic says as he averts his eyes.

“It’s okay, not many normal ponies come out into this part of the desert thanks to the giant rad-scorpians around.” She says as she looks him over. “The last pony I saw who did that ended up as food for those things.”

“Well at least one’s dead, that’s good right?” Aquatic asks as he looks back to her.

“Yes, it means that it will be safe for you to travel from here for a while. They are territorial and often have large territories.” She says as she looks to the exit to her cave.

“Good, I need to get to Stable 15 as soon as possible.”

“Why? That place was sealed a long time ago.” Her goo-y eyebrows raise at that. “An earthquake caused the second floor stairs and elevator to collapse.”

“Fuck.” Aquatic says as he hangs his head. “I need the water talisman from the stable to replace the one in mine. If I don’t get it, my stable’s ponies will die.”

“I know where that is and how you can get to it, but it’s not going to be easy.” She says as she scoots closer. “I’m a water-goo pony and I can access the stable through the aquifer under the desert.”

“Really?” He perks up and scoots over to hug her, the goo-y watery substance of her body squishes slightly as he hugs her. “I’d appreciate it so much!”

“H-hey, not so hard!” She burbles as she uses her slick form to slip out of his grasp. “I can take you there, but it’s not going to be easy.”

“I’ll do whatever it takes to get it.” Aquatic says though he looks a bit sheepish about the hug.

“I believe I can filter the oxygen from the water so you can breathe, but it will take a little trial and error.” Shimmer says, as she slips over to a large pond that occupies half the cave. “Oh, you can call me Shimmering Oasis, or just Shimmer.”

“Okay, Shimmer, how will this work?” Aquatic asks as he walks over there with her, stripping down to his boxers, showing off his cybernetic legs as he sits down.

“I’ll need to encompass you in order to try. Tap the ground three times if you’re not able to breathe, okay?” Shimmer asks as she scoots closer to him, “and you need to be in the water.”

“Sounds good to me, let me just disconnect my legs first.” He pulls out a set of tools and starts the process of disconnecting his legs, wincing as he disconnects them. The legs are set off to the side before he slips into the water. “There we go, now let’s try this.”

“Okay, here goes nothing.” Shimmering slips into the water and wraps herself around him.

Aquatic blinks, his whole body feeling like it’s inside of a warm blanket. He tries to take a breath of air and finds it really hard. He taps his hand against his side three times and Shimmer pulls off of him.

“It was hard to breathe but I could get some air.” Aquatic says after taking a deep breath of air once his head is free. “Let’s try it again.”

“Okay, if you’re sure…” Shimmer says trailing off as Aquatic nods.

“Do it.”

Shimmering Oasis encompasses him again, and this time when he tries to breathe it’s a lot easier. As he continues to breathe, Shimmering adjusts herself a little more and Aquatic nods, giving her a thumbs up. She jiggles around him and begins to take him through the caves and tunnels that make up the underground waterway. The process is slow, and at times they struggle to squeeze through some of the places but after an hour they’re able to reach their destination.

Once at the right console it takes Aquatic a couple hours to disassemble the thing and retrieve the water chip. Holding it gently in his hands he looks up at Shimmer. “Thank you so much, Shimmer, without you my stable would have been doomed.”

“You’re welcome, you helped get rid of the rad scorpions that lurked near my home. This was the least I-” Shimmer starts only to be cut off by Aquatic kissing her. The kiss is a surprise but she slowly returns it, leaning into it for a moment before pulling back.

“You are perhaps the most beautiful pony I have ever seen, and you are so humble, even after helping me save my stable.” Aquatic says, blushing a little. “I have to return this to my stable, but, when I am done I want to return and get to know you better.”

“I-I would like that.” Shimmering says as her color darkens a little, clearly blushing.

“Let’s head back, the sooner I get this done the sooner I can come back.” Aquatic says as he tucks the piece of tech away in his backpack.

~000~

The pair of them work their way back through the aquifer’s tunnels and into Shimmer’s home. Once there Aquatic gets his legs attached and begins the return trip to his stable. This time the rats prove no threat to him as he strides confidently back to the door of the stable. The stable guard welcomes him with open arms bringing him to the Overstallion.

“You’re done it, you’ve saved us. I can’t begin to express how much of a hero you are to the stable.” The Overstallion says, shaking Aquatic’s hand. “You will be remembered forever in the history of the stable.”

“Thank you Overstallion, I appreciate it.” Aquatic says as he hands over the chip.

“I think you should be the one to install this.” The Overstallion says passing it back to Aquatic. “After you do that you’re to take the next month off.”

“Actually, Overstallion, once I’m done I’m heading back out there.”

“What?!”

“Yeah, I met a really nice goo pony who helped me get this. She made it possible for me to retrieve the chip from Stable 15.” Aquatic explains with a smile and a blush. “She’s very humble about it, but I want to spend more time getting to know her.”

“After all you’ve done for us I can’t stop you, but please reconsider staying.” The Overstallion says with a slight frown on his face.

Aquatic shakes his head, “It’s what I want.”

“Very well, take as much time as you need to prepare to leave.” The Overstallion says as he looks back to his terminal.

Aquatic nods and heads down to the control room. The process to install the water-chip is quick, his familiarity with its design helps tremendously. After it’s installed he heads back up to his room to gather what few things he needs before leaving the stable for the last time.

~000~

It takes him a while to make it back to the cave where Shimmering lives, but the journey is uneventful. Stepping inside he sets down his things and calls out to Shimmering. It takes a couple of moments for her to poke her head out of the water but when she does, she has a big grin plastered on her face.

“I’m so glad you came back Aquatic. Please, join me in the water.” Shimmering says as she swims around in a circle.

"Sure, give me a sec to get my legs charging." Aquatic says as he grabs a big box from his things and carries it over near the water's edge.

Sitting down, Aquatic disconnects his cyber legs and sets them next to the big box, which reveals a portable magi-tech generator. It takes a couple minutes to get it up and running and to get his legs charging. Once they're connected he strips out of the rest of his clothes, sans boxers, and slides into the pool.

“Now that my Stable is safe I plan to spend time getting to know you better, Shimmer.” Aquatic says as he wraps an arm around the goo pony.

“I would certainly like that.” She replies as she leans her head against him.

“Floating here is freeing, I can move without my cybernetic legs, something that’s really hard otherwise.” He leans in and gives her a kiss on the lips, holding it for just a moment. “Thank you for introducing me to this.”

Shimmering is quiet for a couple moments, her color lightening a bit in a full body blush after the kiss, finally saying “I’m glad you’re enjoying it.”

“It’s even better with you here, Shimmering.” Aquatic hugs her close, his embrace gentle but firm. “Without you my stable probably would have suffered and died. I owe you a lot.”

“W-well, there’s definitely a few things you could do to make it up to me.” Shimmering says as she looks up at him, still held in his arms. “I’ve been alone for a long time, goo ponies normally are, but it’s been a really long time since I…”

Shimmering mumbles the rest of the sentence as her body lightens even further.

Aquatic gives her a knowing look, "I understand, with my legs the way they are no pony really wanted to get that close to me. Nopony until you that is."

"So you're okay with it?" Shimmering looks up at him with a hopeful look.

"More than okay with it, I want you. I kind of did since I met you, with how nice you were and how normal you treated me." Aquatic says giving her a passionate.kiss.

Their kiss lasts for a minute or so, tongues dancing in a passionate tango as Aquatic slowly strokes Shimmering’s back. When Aquatic finally breaks the kiss he moves his hand down to Shimmering’s butt, giving it a squeeze earning a soft moan from her. His hands roam back up her back as he leans in and plants a kiss against her neck, nibbling on her surprisingly firm form. The gentle love bites make Shimmer gasp a little as Aquatic slowly works his way down to her breasts. He brings his hand around front to gently knead her breasts as he suckles on her right tit.

Shimmer’s moans go up in pitch as he nibbles gently on her tit. Her tit leaks a small amount of slightly sweet water as he tends to it. After a couple of moments he switches to her other tit while he slips his right hand down to her crotch, gently teasing her folds as he suckles on her other tit, his left hand still gently kneading her breast. Shimmer moans louder, her cries of pleasure echoing around the cave as her hands move up to hold the back of Aquatic’s head as he plays with her breast.

Aquatic slips a finger inside of Shimmer’s snatch, slowly working it in and out of her as he looks up at her with her tit in his mouth. Shimmer smiles down at him, panting and moaning as he slips a second finger into her, her whole body is flushed from the pleasure he’s giving her. Aquatic works his fingers a bit faster as he pulls off of her tit and leans up to give her a kiss. Shimmer moans into the kiss as Aquatic continues to finger her. As Aquatic uses his thumb to rub Shimmer’s clit, her pussy clamps down on his fingers, a jet of fluid hitting his hand as she breaks the kiss, letting out a loud and high pitched moan that echoes around the cave for a few seconds.

Aquatic removes his fingers from her snatch as he gently kisses her cheek. He holds her gently as she catches her breath. After a couple minutes Shimmer pulls him into a proper kiss, their tongues dancing again for a couple of moments before she pulls back.

“I think it’s my turn to please you.” Shimmer says before she slips under the surface of the pool.

Shimmer drifts down to Aquatic’s boxers, taking a moment to admire the big bulge in them before slipping her fingers into the band. With a quick tug she pulls them off and tosses them out of the water giving her access to Aquatic’s ten inch cock. Shimmer brings one of her hands to his cock slowly stroking it as she leans in and wraps her lips around the tip. Her other hand reaches down and gently massages his sack.

Aquatic lets out a pleased groan as she works his cock, her goo-y hands feel nice and soft against his cock but nowhere near as nice as her mouth and tongue as she suckles on the tip of his cock. His cock gives a spurt of pre-cum which she quickly laps up and swallows down groaning softly around his cock. Slowly Shimmer slips his cock further into her mouth, her tongue slathering the underside of his shaft with her goo-y saliva.

As Shimmer slips his cock down into her throat she lets out a happy groan that sends vibrations tingling across his cock making Aquatic moan a bit louder and give another spurt of pre-cum. Shimmer’s unique nature makes it easy for her to reach the base of his cock and plant a kiss before starting to slowly bob her head up and down.

Aquatic moans as she works his shaft with her throat while her unoccupied hands move to tease his sack and finger his ass. His hands move down to her head, grasping her goo-y hair gently as she works him with ease.

Shimmer swallows around his cock, her throat milking him a bit like a pussy as she bobs her head up and down faster, eager for a salty treat from his cock. Her tongue flicks along the underside of his shaft as she goes, enjoying the musky taste of his cock and the feeling of his hands massaging her head. She slowly fingers his as a bit like he did with her pussy earlier, driving her fingers into him at a steady pace while her other hand gently teases his sack.

The intense pleasure of Shimmer’s sucking and fingering has Aquatic teetering on the edge, moaning and gasping softly. His cock pulses harder in Shimmer’s throat spurring her on as she takes him most of the way out of her mouth letting her lavish his cock head with licks as she sucks on it.

Her ministrations quickly push Aquatic over the edge, making his cock flare as his balls churn. A moment later his cock pumps several big bursts of spunk into her mouth. She swallows each spurt down with ease, moaning softly at the taste of his salty spunk. When his orgasm comes to an end she pulls off of his softening cock and comes back up to give him a kiss on the cheek.

“Wow, Shimmer, you’re amazing at that.” Aquatic says panting softly.

“It helps not to have a gag reflex.” She replies with a bit of a cheeky smile.

“Give me a couple of minutes to recover and I’m going to rock your world.” He says as he wraps his arms around her.

Shimmer nods and leans her head against his shoulder as they float there in the water for a little while.

After a few minutes Aquatic reaches down and slowly strokes his cock back to its full mast before pulling Shimmer close. He slips his cock between her legs and slowly grinds it against her slit as he kisses her. His hands slowly stroke their way down her back to her butt, giving it as squeeze as he repositions himself to slowly push his way inside of her. Her soft groan as he enters her encourages him to push deeper, and she’s easily able to accommodate his entire length.

“Heh, you’re amazingly tight, Shimmer.” Aquatic groans as he slowly starts to pull back.

“Mmm~ and you’re quite big.” She groans back.

Aquatic slowly thrusts into her, gripping her ass for leverage. Each slow thrust draws a little gasp or groan from Shimmer as he works his hips back and forth. His slow thrusting is accompanied by a deep and passionate kiss, their tongues wrestling for dominance in a passionate battle of desire. Eventually Shimmer loses the tongue war as Aquatic picks up the pace of his thrusts, her pants and groans devolve into moans as their kiss breaks.

Shimmer’s pussy squeezes Aquatic, massaging his cock as he thrusts into her. His hands roam up her back as he grinds his shaft against the depths of her marehood. Her moans make a wonderful symphony as he moves his head to her neck and nibbles gently. His hips clap against hers as he puts as much force into his thrusts as he can. His cock grinds against a particularly sensitive spot making her moans become a loud squeak as her pussy ripples around his cock, squeezing it like a vice accompanied by a forceful jet of liquid. The sudden change in tightness brings Aquatic to the brink of his own climax, just barely holding back as Shimmer rides out the powerful orgasm.

“F-fuck, that was amazing~” Shimmer pants as she hugs Aquatic tightly.

“We’re not done yet.” Aquatic says as he starts to thrust again, his pace slow and steady.

Shimmer pants and moans as Aquatic starts again, her pussy squeezes his cock off and on as he presses against parts of her that are still sensitive from her orgasm. Aquatic’s thrusts are slow, as he moves his hands up to Shimmer’s breasts, gently playing with them as he leans in and gives her a kiss. His motions slowly push them to the edge of the pool where he presses her against the edge as he slowly makes passionate love to her.

His hands slowly move from her breasts to her sides holding her as he kisses her and fucks her. His pace steadily increases as he begins to build towards his own orgasm again. As he works his cock in and out of Shimmer’s marehood it suddenly tightens drawing a loud moan from Aquatic. Shimmer gives him a smirk as he looks up at her, before leaning in to give him a kiss. The kiss drives him wild, any sense of control to his thrusts is abandoned as he pounds her harder and harder. He quickly builds up to his orgasm, his cock flaring as he slams his hips against hers.

With a mighty moan Aquatic hits his peak, his cock flares to its full size as his balls churn. Shimmer’s marehood pulses and squeezes his cock, milking it for all its worth as he starts to pump his hot spunk into her. Each spurt is a hot wave of pleasure that fills Shimmer making her that much closer to another orgasm. As Aquatic’s orgasm comes to an end he pulls out of her and lifts Shimmer up onto the edge of the pool getting a squeak of surprise from her. Not a second later his muzzle is buried in her marehood, his tongue digging deep into her while his fingers gently play with her clit. The sudden assault on her marehood drives Shimmer over the edge into another orgasm. Her piercing squeak of a moan echoes around the chamber as she blacks out.

~000~

About four months later the pair of them lay on a soft bed of mosses inside the cave, Aquatic’s hands wrapped gently around Shimmer as they relaxed from a day of working on the cave. A new section was set up with a small pool of water and a rock wall around it. A few scavenged toys sit in a small open topped box in the corner.

“You know, I can hardly believe it, but…” Aquatic moves his hand down to gently rub Shimmer’s slightly swollen belly. “This is absolute proof.”

“I felt the same way at first,” Shimmer agrees with a soft smile. “But here we are, about to become parents.”

“I never expected this would happen when I left my stable, but by Celestia I’m glad I did.” Aquatic says pausing to gently nibble on Shimmer’s neck. “But it was well worth it.”

“As am I, Aquatic. I don’t know what the future will hold, but with you, I’m certain we can face it.” Shimmer says with a bright smile.

The pair of them lay like this as the day slowly comes to an end. The last light of the sun shining onto them through the entrance to the cave promising a bright future ahead of them.
