Ep: 8- The long ride home
The trip back to Canterlot Castle had taken a lot less time for the digimon on her way back. With a lot of the previous issues from her adventure down south being taken care of in advance, Bellestarmon was able to relax a bit more as she traveled along the tracks towards Ponyville. With the only need for stopping being the repeated appearing nausea that kept creeping up on her every few hours or so.
During one of her many stops to empty out a small portion of her stomach, the blonde haired digimon had spotted the silhouette of a white knight with a red cape fly passed from the east. A smaller figure of a cat mixed with a bird riding on its shoulder. Taking a guess that it was another digimon and their tamer, Bellestarmon did her best not to gain the pair's attention as they passed by overhead.
Another one of her stops was met with her hunched over her bike dry heaving as the train from Appleloosa passed with the colorful six mares from before staring at her as they went on by.
Her third unexpected stop was caused when the young digimon had to pull over due to her forehead burning while her vision began to spin. Luckily she knew that she wasn't far off from the town of Ponyville thanks to specific landmarks she had made note of during her travels.
Taking a swig of her water, Belle Star had to fight back the urge to urch it back up. Sitting down against one of the nearby trees. Belle Star removed the metal mask from her face and placed it on the ground beside her. Her forehead covered in sweat as she took her water pouch and poured some of its contents over her head. Focusing on the cool feeling of the water running down her head, she was unaware of the mysterious figure that was approaching her from behind the treeline.
"Not to bother tho, but perchance would thé be willing to offer us some of your water." The oddly familiar voice of a mare asked as the sound of her hooves ruffled through some of the forest foliage.
"Yeah sure, knock yourself out." Belle Star replied as she extended the water pouch in the direction of the female voice. Her eyes closed as she tried to ignore the pain.
"We most certainly will not, however we do thank thé for thy water." The mare said in a rather old English dialect as she took the pouch from the digimon. The Old English caused the woman to crack an eye at the mare.
Standing off to her side, while taking a long drink of her water stood a decently tall blue alicorn with a starry mane and tail, her body covered in a set of black leather armor with pieces of dark blue metal plates that cover vital parts of her body. She was taller than the average pony by a large margin, yet shorter than the solar princess. Her body looked slightly malnourished like she had been without food for a long time and had just recently been able to put back on the weight. The detail of her weight was hard to notice through her armor, but it was there.
"If you're hungry, there's some food in the side pouch of my bike there. Feel free to help yourself." The digimon told the alicorn as she pointed one of her claws at the bike.
"We are most thankful." The blue alicorn said as she reached into the bag and pulled out a container containing a still warm slice of apple pie. The sight of the dessert making the digimon chuckle to herself as she remembered what she had shouted during her climax the night before.
"What's so funny?" The mare asked as she opened the container while grabbing a fork from the bag.
"Oh, nothing… nothing. Just remembered something I had said to a stallion I slept with last night. Name's Belle Star by the way." The woman replied, introducing herself to the mare as the blue alicorn went to sit down next to her.
"We are Luna, raiser of the moon and bringer of the night. Pleasure to meet you Ms Star." Luna said as she sat down in her armor.
Bellestarmon let out another chuckle as she leaned her head back against the tree. "Fucking called it." She smiled as she glanced over at the princess of the night.
"Called what?"
"Your sister has been mistaking me for you for the past month or so. Something about simular magic or some crap. Went as far as to write up some papers adding me to the family tree as her sister." Bellestarmon said, shaking her head. "To be honest, I knew you had to be out here somewhere, just never figured it would be so close to Ponyville."
"We see… well that is… disheartening to hear." Luna said with dejection in her voice.
"Eh, don't hold it against her princess, with the timing and the similar voices I think she just really wanted you to return." Belle said, placing her claw on the alicorn's shoulder. "If it's any consultation, she was willing to accept you regardless of the form you took. Take me for example, not exactly the pinnacle of equine beauty now am I?"
Luna pondered for a moment as she looked over the features of the female digimon. Her mouth stuffed with pie as she thought.
Swallowing her food, she placed the container to the side before replying. "We suppose tho has a point, however we wouldn't exactly call you ugly. Beautiful in your own right, just a different beauty than ours."
"I'll have to take your word on that, after all. I was able to snag a decent stallion for bed last night." Bellestarmon said, with a smile.
"As much as we would enjoy hearing the tales of wooing from a maiden such as yourself, we must ask if you are alright."
"Meh, just a little woozy. Think it was something I ate, maybe the alcohol. I'll be fine in a moment. So what about you, you feeling alright?" Belle asked averting the attention back on the mare.
"A little underweight, nothing a decent meal won't help." Luna replied as she placed her hand on the woman's uncovered forehead. "To be honest we are more concerned for you. Tho's head appears to be burning up."
Gently pulling the mare's hand away from her third eye, Bellestarmon grabbed onto the tree to stand back up. "Don't worry about it, I've had worse. Once I get to the city, I'm gonna take the train back to Canterlot." Belle said as she bent down to pick her mask up off the ground.
Luna watched the mask intently as Belle Star patted the dust off of her mask as she placed it back onto her face.
"Well I'll be, it is you." Luna said as she stood up to take a better look at the digimon.
Belle Star looked back at the mare as an armored fist came flying past her face by a mere inch.
"Wow, what's that about?" Bellestarmon asked as she turned in her heel and stepped back from the mare.
"You're the digimon that attacked us on the moon!" Shouted as she took another swing at the digimon, only to have her punch brushed away by the back of Belle's claw.
"Easy Now, I don't think either of us are in any condition to be fighting." Bellestarmon's words did not reach her though as Luna spun around and delivered a kick to the side of her head. "Will you stop that? I'm not in the mood for fighting."
"We will stop when you are dead, thief!" Luna yelled as she delivered another kick to the woman's stomach, however this time Bellestarmon held her foot in place with her claw.
"And what pray tell did I take from you?" Belle Star was starting to get pissed as the alicorn pushed her free foot off the ground and hooked it behind the digimon's head as she leaned back and grabbed the ground, throwing the digimon over her and into a tree.
'So that's what it's like to be on the receiving end of this.' Belle thought as she climbed back to her feet.
"You took Nightmare Moon from us!" The blue alicorn said as she sucked in air. Her body already worn out from the overuse. "She was my curse, my problem to solve! When you arrived on the moon, you ripped her out of me…"
Bellestarmon watched as the blue alicorn fell to her knees, her eyes looking down as tears flowed down her cheeks. "She was our problem to fix…"
Belle walked over to the crying mare. Her eyes void of emotion as she reached down and grabbed the alicorn by the collar of her armor. With a hard pull, the digimon lifted the princess off the ground and carried her over to her bike. The confusion on her face as Belle sat the girl on the back of the seat.
"What are you…" Luna was cut off as the digimon swung her leg over the seat of her bike and leaned back into the alicorn.
"I'll let it slide until you're back in peck condition, you've got some emotional baggage. That's fine, but save it for when you can put up a real fight. In the meantime, grab on tight, shut up and listen to what I've got to say cause I won't be telling you twice." Belle Star said as she started up the engine. "I didn't chose to be here, God knows it hasn't been easy. But if you're willing to listen I'll tell you about it along the way."
Luna only gave a silent nod as the two drove off towards Ponyville, the dark leather digimon telling her tale as the two made their way along the tracks.
~Ep:8~
The ponies of Canterlot watched in awe as two mares excited from one of the carts of the recently arrived train. Holding onto one another, a tall pale woman in all black with long blonde hair held onto an equally tall dark blue alicorn with black leather armor and blue metal plates. Her hair flowing in an unfelt breeze with the appearance of the night sky. The two looked exhausted and tired, yet smiles plastered their faces and the pale woman spoke to the blue one.
"And that's when I screamed Apple Pie, pretty sure the whole town heard me." The blonde woman said with a chuckle as the other tried hard not to laugh.
"That's nothing, in my youth one of my partners thought it would be fun to play in the royal kitchen. When he finally came, he sprayed it all over one of the pie tins. He was quite embarrassed when I asked him if he was going for a 'cream pie'. It was even better when we used it to make one for Tia for her late night snack." The lunar princess laughed as the two made their way up the road to the castle.
"You at least washed it first right?" Belle Star asked, looking at the guilty face of the younger alicorn. "You didn't? Ha, that's hallareis."
"It wasn't anything special, Tia and I were quite fond of playing pranks. Like one time, she had replaced all of the guards' spears with rubber chickens. None of them were willing to ask for them back when they noticed the pile sitting behind our thrones so they just carried on for the whole day with the toy by their side. Those were the days." Luna said with a somber smile.
"You know it's a bit of a walk from here to get to the castle, I could get us there quicker if I just carried you." The digimon offered as the princess looked up the hill towards the castle.
"While we would normally never impose, we do think tho might have a point."
"Alrighty." Bellestarmon said as she reached down and picked the night princess up in her arms. "Next stop, Canterlot Castle." Without another word of warning, the female digimon pushed her feet down into the brick street, their bodies taking off as the digimon went full speed up the long winding road.
~Ep: 8~
Walking up to the entrance of the castle, the guards stood shocked as they watched the digimon make her way to them, a blue alicorn dressed in old armor being held in her arms.
"Umm, Princess Star." One of the guards greeted as they met her at the door.
"It's just Belle guys, how many times do I need to tell you that?" Bellestarmon said as she noticed the look on the guards' faces.
"Umm… Lady Belle." The guard corrected as the digimon let out a sigh. "By chance, who is this mare… *gulp* that you appear to be carrying?"
"Awe, this is Celestia's biological sister." Bellestarmon said with a wide toothy smile as the guards dropped their jaws.
"Princess Luna, charmed." The princess of the night greeted as the two struggled to close their mouths.
~Ep: 8~
Two guards busted into the dinning hall while Celestia put her fork into the side of a rather generous sized chocolate cake.
"Your highness!" The two guards shouted as they ran up to the solar princess.
"Your sister Luna has just arrived." The male guard said as they stood before the princess.
"Well, that's good to hear, but I don't think it's something to be that excited about." Celestia said as she placed her dork back into her cake.
"Well, the thing is, so is Princess Star." The other guard added as she looked to her partner.
"I'm confused, could you possibly repeat that again for me." She asked as she raised an eyebrow.
The male guard cleared his throat as he relayed the news correctly. "You sister Princess Luna has arrived with Princess Star. Your highness."
The guards blinked as the alicorn princess blinked away in a ball of light, her fork hitting the ground as she teleported away.
