The Drone Epidemic!

“What am I doing here? What was going on? What am I doing to myself!?” Rainbow Dash found herself waking up confused, especially with one of her hooves rubbing her crotch. “I was…”

“What am I doing here?” Rainbow Dash saw another pony near her asking the same question. It seemed that all the ponies around her were having a bout of amnesia, just like her.

“Let me try to recall what happened to me…” she said as she stood up and walked away.

“First, I went to the cafe in the morning… Then… What happened to me?” she asked herself, while being in the cafe. The cafe was rather messy, with a bunch of chairs scattered around, some still standing properly, and others knocked over. In the middle of the room were a bunch of curtains lying around the floor with a chair knocked over in the middle. Small puddles of yellow goop were everywhere around the floor.

“I… I… I actually don’t remember.” she said as she was about to turn away, then, “Wait, that’s mine!” She saw her book lying on the floor on top of a curtain. However, it seemed hard to take as there was yellow goop around it. Somehow, even though she did not know what the yellow goop was, she still feared the yellow goop. In fact, in her mind there was this intuition that told her that one wrong move would render her in dire peril. What dire peril though, was unbeknownst to her.

However, being a brave pony, she tried to get the book by herself, but alas, she accidentally slipped on a curtain and fell face flat into a puddle of goop. “Mmmmmppppppphhhhhh!”

“I can’t breathe… I can’t see” she thought to herself as she started feeling her mouth and nostrils getting sealed up, and with her eyes coated with latex, she couldn’t see. “What’s going on with me? I feel like this has happened before…”

“Are you okay?” asked Cheerilee, who had just come into the cafe, and noticed Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash turned her head towards Cheerilee, who was looking at her from afar. “Mmmmppppphhhhh!”

“Ahhh!” cried out Cheerilee, running away.

“Bump!” she had bumped into Fluttershy, who was just passing by. Fluttershy, who had just come out of her now wrecked house after trying desperately to fly with her rubber wings, shocked Fluttershy as well.

“Who… who are you?”

“Mmmmmppppphhhhh!”

Cheerilee, shocked by both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, ran away as fast as she could. She ran and ran, and eventually reached the Ponyville Schoolhouse. At the Ponyville Schoolhouse, she found Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom together, feeling down.

“What’s wrong?'' She looked around, and eventually saw a ponydrone standing behind them, who she suspected was Scootaloo.

“It’s Spike!”

“We visited Spike one morning, and he was so rude! He didn’t talk to us, and only mumbled to himself!”

“Yeah!”

“Really?”

“Yeah!”

“Hmm…” said Cheerilee.

“Oh yeah, why are there only two of you?”

“Two of us? It’s always been the two of us.”

“Alright then,” said Cheerilee as she walked elsewhere in the school.

Elsewhere in the school, she found Silver Spoon wearing a yellow and black tiara, one that she had never seen before.

“Hello, Silver Spoon!” said Cheerilee. “I’m sorry for coming back late, I kind of passed out in Ponyville.”

“Never mind, teacher. It’s alright. I’ve also passed out for some time.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, and most of the school did too, or so I’ve heard.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright then. So where’s Diamond Tiara?”

“Who?”

“Diamond Tiara. Your best friend, remember?”

“Best friend? I don’t have any best friends.”

“Really?” asked Cheerilee. At this point, she was very confused, and started thinking that her memory had issues.

Thinking so, she retreated to the teacher’s lounge to rest. However, even after sitting on the couch, she found herself restless as her mind felt disturbed by the happenings around her, not only by the apparent amnesia of Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Silver Spoon, but also the condition of the teacher’s lounge. She looked around, and found the color of the room disturbing, being in part, the old and usual green color, and in other places, splats of yellow and black were to be found.

Sitting alone in the lounge, she found the silence deafening, as nopony else was in the lounge. Looking around, nothing else was weird, until she jumped up from her seat, noticing the peculiarity in the couch that she was sitting on. It was yellow and black!

Intrigued, she walked around the couch, looking at it from different angles. What she found out was that the whole couch was a smooth and shiny yellow and black, and had two weird holes at the back of it. From the two weird holes, she could hear some sounds of wind, going into and out of the holes.

Not wanting to sit anymore, she walked out of the teachers lounge, thinking to herself that it was time to find Twilight, to consult her again.

“So, what can we actually do?” asked Twilight. “The light only reaches a certain distance.”

“I think that if we can leave the crystal out on a pillar, baked in the sun, it can eventually convert everyone back to normal.”

“Alright then, but we’ll have to place the crystal pillars in strategic places.”

“Or…”

“Or?”

“Or we could have lured all the yellow ponies outside.”

“But how?”

“Well, what do they like? What can be bait for them?”

“I think they like to rub themselves, so what if we introduce a bunch of things for them to rub themselves on?”

“That sounds like a wonderful idea.”

“So what things can we use?”

“How about other ponydrones? We can catch some ponydrones and use them to lure the others out.”

“Alright then.”

With that, the two of them headed out to catch some ponydrones, starting with Ponyville.

When they reached Ponyville, they found Ponyville in chaos once again, as yellow and black splats were everywhere again, along with countless ponydrones.

“What’s happened here?” asked Twilight.

“I think that reinfection has occurred; the yellow ponies who have not recovered have reinfected some more normal ponies. By the way things are looking right now, if we don’t cure everypony fast enough, then Equestria will be overrun with the yellow ponies.”

“So we’ve gotta hurry then! Give me a crystal and I’ll find a place to put it.”

“No, Twilight. Remember, we have to catch some yellow ponies.”

“How do we catch them? We might get infected if we get too close to them.”

“Hmm…”

“How would you like to become a yellow pony?” asked Princess Celestia.

“Me? A yellow pony?” Twilight asked, trembling in fear as images from her nightmare reappeared in her mind, vivid as can be.

“Why? Is something the matter?”

“I’d rather not become a yellow pony,” replied Twilight.

“Never mind, I was just joking anywa-”

“We’d like to become yellow ponies, please!”

“What?” said both Twilight and Princess Celestia as they turned around to see Trixie Lulamoon and Starlight Glimmer standing behind them.

“We’d like to become yellow ponies, please!”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“Well, alright then.”

“So all you have to do is to…”

“Never mind, we’ve got it! All we have to do is to touch the yellow latex goop.”

“So you know too?”

“Yeah,” said Starlight Glimmer, pointing at a pony at a distance who was getting turned into a ponydrone.

“Wai-” Twilight said, trying to stop them from following that idea, but it was too late.

“Yeah?”

“Uh, we need a cage for you guys.”

“A cage? Why?”

“Because we need you as bait.”

“Alright then. Hurry up and find a cage, it won’t take long for us to turn into full-fledged yellow ponies.”

“Never mind, I’ve got magic,” said Princess Celestia as she transformed an empty barrel into a metal cage.

“Here, quickly get in.”

“Alright.”

With that, Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle locked the cage, constraining the two ponies, now ponydrones, inside. But it didn’t really matter for the both of the ponydrones, who were both enjoying themselves, pleasuring each other, being oblivious to the physical and mental constraint that they were both in.

“Time to test it,” said Princess Celestia.

Thus, Princess Celestia moved the cage nearer to the pony that Starlight pointed to before, now fully a ponydrone as well. As they did so, the ponydrone did not care about its changed surroundings, and continued pleasuring itself. So, using a wooden stick found lying around, they poked the ponydrone, invoking it to approach the cage. As expected, the two ponydrones inside the cage stopped pleasuring each other, and turned to face the ponydrone outside and two of them started pleasuring each other, taking turns rubbing each other’s bulges through the narrow gaps between the metal bars of the cage.

“It works!”

“So it seems. But with this system, we can only catch two ponydrones at once. It isn’t quite efficient enough,” Princess Celestia said as she turned the ponydrone on the outside back into a pony, who immediately ran away.

“So, we lure ponydrones, and catch them to get even more ponydrones, like a pyramid scheme?”

“That’s the plan.”

“Alright then. Let’s do it!”

“No, you’ll do it.”

“Me? How about you? Where are you going to?” asked Twilight as Princess Celestia called for her chariot.

“I’m going to other parts of Equestria to give instructions; you will stay here and settle the issue in Ponyville, alright?”

“Okay, Your Highness.”

And with that, Princess Celestia departed for another place, leaving Twilight to handle the situation herself. Twilight, being on her own, suddenly wished that she could have the help of Trixie, but alas, she was the ponydrone bait. Thus, leaving the two ponydrones who were once again pleasuring each other, she set out to find her friends.
