Umi fell onto his back and sighed, Fluttershy still impaled on his dick. She beat her wings and pushed off with her hooves, causing the ursa to wince as she pulled herself off of him. With an audible 'pop' an assload of glittery semen dropped back onto his dick and Fluttershy flew free, exhaustedly setting herself down in the grass, still leaking cosmic cum from her ass, mouth and nose.

As her friends ran to check on her, the ursa spoke, still staring up at the stars.

"My thanks, kind pegasus. You are my shining knight, and have delivered me from the cusp of annihilation."

"That seems a little dramatic." said Goldie, not entirely sure if she liked the ursa.

"Indeed, it would have been, had the light not been loosed. The resulting catastrophe would have been my end, and rendered the land desolate for miles around."

Everyone's ears twitched, their attention suddenly fixed upon the sprawling ursa whose vertical cock had begun to collapse.

"Y'all mean to tell me this guy was gonna explode? Like a bundle of dynamite?" said Applejack. They were all astonished, even Twilight, by how close they had come to oblivion.

The princess made a mental note to incorporate the destructive potential of ursa blue-balls in the Everfree Encyclopedia when next she had the time to work on it.

When the shock wore off, Applejack and Pinkie-Pie helped pick Fluttershy up, having her spread her wings and using them to lift and support her while she got back on her legs.

"Is there no one your own size that could have helped you... um... relieve yourself?" asked Goldilocks. Fluttershy seemed to be mostly okay, but there had to be a better way to keep the big-bear from blowing up.

Umi sighed again, though this time not in relief. "The fabric unravels. Somewhere the others slipped through the cracks and left me behind." he said. There was sadness in his voice, but Goldie had no idea what he was talking about, and wasn't particularly moved.

"That could explain what happened to the baby manticore's parents." remarked Fluttershy, after coughing up a load of cum. Apparently she had a better grasp of what the bear was trying to say.

Twilight thought for a moment. "The Everfree has always been a mysterious place, out of sync with Equestria. A one-way portal from the human-realm even lets out somewhere within." she said.

"The ruptures of which I speak are not 'one-way' any more than a broken window or a ripped gown." said Umi, sitting up. He examined the mess in his lap and wondered how he was going to clean it up. "The veil is being torn apart and two worlds bleed, each into the other. If nothing is done then the weaker of those worlds will fall to ruin."

"We need to find Zecora." said Fluttershy, and the others agreed. Besides, Goldie was rather curious to meet the mysterious 'druid.'

The girls gathered in Zecora's abode, having left the ursa to his slumber on the forest's edge. The druid had brewed a soothing cup of tea for Fluttershy and already she seemed much better than before, though both she and Twilight would need a bath to rid themselves of the glistening semen that seemed to glow like starlight.

Goldie was mesmerized by the zebra's pattern of stripes, and her pretty jewelry. She was especially fond of the gold rings piercing her nipples, which she could see clearly when the zebra cut in front of her and stood on her hind legs, reaching for something on a high shelf.

Of course, Zecora knew exactly what she was doing, and smiled to herself while she searched, feeling the piercing gaze of the blue-eyed girl on her fat teats.

"The barrier between worlds is wearing thin." said Zecora, stepping down from the shelf and tossing the ingredient into the massive cauldron in the center of the room, causing a brief flash of light and a lingering puff of smoke to emerge.

"Even now, something gnaws at the veil."

The glow from the cauldron cast foreboding shadows all around, which seemed to move like gnashing teeth.

"It is close to breaking in, and all is lost should it prevail." said Zecora.

Goldie felt an odd sort of fear, like a cold dread that was waiting patiently in the back of her mind. She felt unmoored, insecure; as though she were suddenly alone.

The feeling vanished when Twilight spoke up, and Goldie was reminded that she was indeed not alone, but among friends.

"What can we do to help?" asked Twilight.

Zecora was kind enough to show them to a nearby stream and let them bathe, though Goldie was reluctant to join them, choosing instead remain on the shore with the druid. After all, she managed to emerge unsullied thanks to Twilight, and had little desire to disrobe in front of so many others. It was one thing to be caught by surprise and quite another to muster up the courage to willingly expose herself before a crowd, even if they were all friends.

Twilight reminded Goldie of a swan, having waded deep enough that her legs disappeared beneath the water. Using her magic to levitate a bucket and some soap provided by Zecora, Twilight washed her stricken wing. She attempted to straighten her feathers with her mouth, but recoiled in disgust before lowering her head and washing out her mouth in the stream. Whether it was from the soap or the semen Goldie wasn't certain, but it made her giggle all the same.

Pinkie and AJ helped Fluttershy bathe, lathering her with soap and cleaning themselves at the same time, since they had to carry her much of the way to Zecora's abode.

Goldie felt a little bit guilty watching them, and decided to turn her gaze toward the trees. Even with the lanterns hung by Zecora the darkness was close, thick amongst the trees, and somewhere hidden within, unknown monsters lurked.

This is a bridge of sorts between the Ursa encounter and the next part. Some things are tied up and others set up. Hopefully this doesn’t feel like too much of a detour.
