What the Future Holds

Previous Chapter

Ember whirled around in his dark crimson armor, slicing his long broadsword into a huge, horrific creature made of bones, grime and fangs all ridge over the front. It had appendages with pincers that closed with a snap, but Ember’s armor glowed with protection as he stabbed into the creature’s maw, at the weak point where the middle of the mouth held the golden tongue.

“Die! Foul Beast!” Ember shouted as he roared and stabbed the monster down through the last nub of his health bar. With tremors and wails, the horror broke to pieces and Ember was given the stats for his level progression and overall performance grade. “Alright! Cool, looks like I hit a B for BOY was that a really long and drawn out boss battle! Yeah I developed it like that because I’m kind of a dick. Anyway, that’s all for today, folks! Remember to like and subscribe if you have not done so already and don’t you dare get BURNED BY THE EMBERS!!!” His rocking guitar metal theme song sounded off as his feed ended.

He popped his neck as he got out of the VR tech suit and the people around his booth began to cheer as he got out of sight, waving as he went into the backroom. As soon as he got out of sight of the general public, his tech suit pants went straight down and his cock was half way into Vera’s mouth as she got on her knees in front of him. She looked up at him as he sighed and took off the very expensive and technologically advanced shirt. “I told you, you don’t need to do that every single time I go on break or go off feed.” He sighed even harder as she licked all over his shaft and sucked him very deep.

Despite his words, she took her top off and sighed. “I need this too.” She whispered this but then got right back on his dick with her hand cupping his balls. She gently tugged at them as she suckled the tip of his very hard, throbbing member. “By the time we get back to the room, I can’t stand it anymore and I need this cock so badly!”

“What if I demanded that you get onto that wall, spread your legs and give me your dripping pussy right now?” Ember suddenly got a dark voice and Vespa squealed as she got to her feet in a panic.

“Oh no! I’ve been a bad girl!” She suddenly got to the wall and upped her skirt, which was not long at all for his convenience. “Please punish me! I’m so sorr—”

“No, Vera, I’m using aggression and domination to invoke a sense of urgency and enhance your adrenaline. This makes the sexual experience more intense and pleasurable for some. Was it working?”

“Oh, yes, actually, I’m a bit submissive.” Vera said and Ember gasped.

“Really? I had my suspicions.” Ember whispered to her and she nodded.

“Yes, I am a little self conscious because of things and sometimes I can be a little hard on myself.” Vera admitted this as he slid into her pussy lips with a very hard dick and she suddenly tightened up all around him as she flattened her hands against the wall in front of her. “Oh my God, but all of that goes away whenever your big hulking cock spreads my pussylips so wide!” She cried out in a sudden flair of raw pleasure.

“Well, Vera, it is important that you be able to love yourself as much as I love you and that you are able to depend upon yourself. I know you’re going through therapy and I will support that and help in any way I can.” Ember said as he massaged her breasts and bumped against her softly.

“Oh! Ember, you’re so wonderful. Could you come with me to my next therapy session? I think it’s important that she know you and what a wonderful partner you’ve been these past few years. I just wish we could have become this close sooner.” Vera was in tears as she smiled at him and leaned back against him.

“Of course, Vera, I’m here to help you because I love you and I want to make this work for both of us. But now I want to pound your pussy like my little cum dumpster.” Ember began to grow in intensity as he spoke and his pats against her ass became more pronounced.

“Oh! Ember! You’re fucking me like a pitiful little slut and a shameful harlot! Break my pussy like a china and cum all over my face! Treat me like trash! Please!” That was when he covered her mouth as she got very, very loud and he started to ram her pussy like the solid rock force of a rhino and she came in hard spurts of pussy juice. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as he began to whisper the most horrible, perverse things in her ear and she nodded to every single one of them.

“I’m not cutting off your air supply, am I?” Ember asked this and she shook her head, letting out a suddenly gasp and a cry.

“No, no, I can still breathe.” She muffled into his palm. That was when his hand clutched onto her neck and squeezed her throat. She suddenly moaned into him.

“How about now?” Ember asked this and still fucked her like a whore, making her strain against his hand as her face turned red. She shook her head, no, but her eyes pleaded for him to squeeze harder! He squeezed and she really, really was turning purple, but not her natural shade.

He suddenly released and she took in a deep, gasping breath. Ember began to pump semen within her pussy and she was in every state of ecstasy. He lightened up his fucking, noticing that she had basically been in something of a state of trance that whole time. Now she had oxygen and felt hot semen within her. It seemed there was a very solid puddle beneath them that was more than likely pussy juice, now with a small white stream added. She breathed for a good solid minute but he had to hold her against him, fucking her gently.

“Okay, we can’t do that a lot, but holy fuck.” Vera breathed and he gave a little chuckle.

That was when Fable opened the door. “Hey, Ember, we’re about to head over to the video games, did you want to come with? I heard they had a good Neptune 5 stand, maybe even some Neptune 4’s.”

“Oh, yeah, Vera just needs a breather. I was a bit hard on her. I think she needed it rather badly.” Ember said this and Vera nodded.

“Son, you’re in the honeymoon stage, she’s going to need it rather rough for a while. It will even out.” Fable bid them adieu for the moment as they got cleaned up in the booth’s shower. They cuddled up close, once again, as she cleaned him out of her.

It didn’t take long for them to join the others on the Game Expo floor. Ember had a good deal of fanfare, so he decided to go in a costume along with her. He put on a happy-face mask with a trench coat, which was a simple costume for the character, “Chaotic” who was just a crazy investigator guy who was really strong. He would demolish crime scenes to find a clue and punch cops and criminals alike. He had a sidekick named Grechin who was a solid mask maid hero with spy gear and hidden guns. She simply put on a ski mask, a maid outfit and equipped herself with orange and blue toy guns that shot foam darts.

They were asked for pictures, but thankfully they were left alone otherwise. “What kind of games did you want to play if you wanted to do something on the regular?” Ember asked this as he looked at their classic collections, waving to his dad who was already on the Gauntlet systems from his early childhood. His heir wasn’t so keen on that much older stuff, sticking more toward the Neptune 5 and up.

“Oh, well, we do like the adventure games, don’t we?” Vera asked as she looked over toward the figures and 12 inches. She seemed to take an interest in the Diamond Edge series with the very shapely man with the tech armor and heavy weapons.

“You keep telling me we like these things but I was going for your game, Vera. You seem to have this opinion that you are still the youngest of the triplets and you’re not. Now you’re my…” He looked at her and she gazed back at him. There was a long moment between them as the electronic video game music played and they looked each other through their masks, only to pull them up a little and meet in a kiss. “My marefriend lover whom will get an official title at some point.”

“Oh, my darling stallion friend who will bear a fitting moniker soon, I’m so honored.” Vera kissed him harder as she held onto him tight and there were a few more pictures from onlookers. “Let’s get a ninja game. I want to be a sexy girl who knows how to kick ass without the need for actual balance. I feel like I would die if I attempted to do flips like that now.”

“Oh, come on, Vera, weren’t you in training to be a cheerleader?” Ember picked up an interesting title and held it up to his yellow mask, which Vera was starting to find adorable.

“Yes, Ember, I’m kind of surprised you remember that, but not entirely. That was more to try and prove to Midnight that I was capable of being physical. I was only partially successful. I also nearly broke my ankle more than once.” She picked up a samurai game but the gore level was rather ridiculous. Red Blade wasn’t exactly her speed, but then he brought up Daizutsu: The Jade Star. “That looks very good, actually.”

“Yes, I’ve watched that show more than once. I feel like it had its real moments around the time this game came out. Now it’s just over produced and going through the same storylines. I think I have a few ideas we could look into.” He said this and she leaned her head onto his shoulder.

“Ember, did you mean what you said when you were talking about moving into a new place with me?” She nearly melted as he hummed that he did as he kissed her forehead.

“We’ll just work out a plan with Night and Firewire and get a place around that area so we can…” That was when Ember began to think for a moment. Their big part in the Game Expo was more or less done at this point and his need to be there was growing less and less.

“Ember?” She asked him and he nodded. “You look like you’re calculating about a hundred equations all at once.”

“Well, I had a bit of a thought and I’m not entirely sure it’s crazy.” Ember thought for a long moment. “We’ve still got an entire studio for gaming… why don’t we just live there?”

“What, you mean like, buy it from Prisma?” Vera asked this and he nodded. “That place is huge.”

“Yes, exactly, and we have a bunch of people that need space to work. Didn’t Final Cut and Sparky say they needed a new place? Why don’t they move into a studio?” He said this and there was the thought that it did possess five entire sound stages, gaming booths, arcade systems and a full working kitchen. They thought that it could house around fifteen people if it really needed to.

“You sound like you want to put together an entire movie or some…” Vera started to say this and Ember’s mind seemed like it took on about five or six more truckloads of data to process. The moment drew out for extremely long periods of time where Vera was just looking at games for the duration Ember was tapping his chin.

“How much do you think it would take to create a movie studio of sorts? Like, one that could do streaming, green screening, along with basic studio functions?” Ember asked as he thought, blue skying for thoughts on what could be used with it.

“With facilities, basic grounds upkeep, overhead, utilities, living expenses, taxes, that would be approximately eight hundred bits a day.” Vera said as she looked at the back of a ghost hunter game.

Ember looked at her, then widened his eyes at how fast she put that all together in her head. “Well, I suppose art is rather expensive but geez, no wonder Prisma was so bent out of shape when the group scattered.”

“Certain bitch needed a hot tub…” Vera muttered under her breath.

“But damn, that’s going to take some repair and maintenance on the equipment we bought. It’s still good to use but we’ll need to hook it all back up and see how it runs.” Ember thought out loud as Vera handed him a third game, this one was for pirates.

“Yeah, Ember, it’s almost like you need electrical engineers and maintenance specialists or something.” Voltage said as she stood with Electric Spark over by the Cobalt systems. “Can’t imagine where you’d find people who can repair electronic devices.”

“Oh, and Ember,” Sol said as she looked at the VR tech Fantasy roleplays that weren’t Dragon Helm. “Dusk has actually been using your studio for practice.”

“Yes, I’m aware. He is technically paying for some of it.” Ember admitted and Vera rolled her eyes, mumbling about how it’s what he’s spending. “He can keep doing that with your band. I don’t care much about that.”

“Good, because I’ve been crashing there too.” Sol picked up a dungeon crawler and shrugged, putting it in the maybe stack.

“Look, just make it official. Rent them out as tenants and let them do whatever they want in the studio. Call Final Cut, I think she’ll want the option.” Voltage looked over at Spark, who shrugged and nodded.

“Yeah, and go more practical effects than green screen.” Spark said, though he started looking at a very long list of bad movies on one DVD set. The fact that it was a DVD box set of really old movies was tantalizing enough.

“Practical doesn’t always mean better.” Fable said, wisely, making Sol roll her eyes. “Also, could I rent out a room to do some classes?”

“Are you serious?” Ember asked his father and he nodded.

“Um, yeah, son, I kind of like doing Creative Writing courses, and I’m not really getting the ones I want at Ranch U, so I need a place to call my own. I figured a studio room would work. It should be big enough.” Fable reasoned this all out as he looked over toward Voltage and showed her the classic Gravestone III for the Neptune 5. She nodded for him to get it, as she was getting certain ones for the system as well.

“So, that’s a yes from all of you?” Ember asked and all of them replied with a “yes”. “Well, alright, Night Coder, would you want to reserve a place for coding and programing? Seems like that was kind of the original intent behind it.”

“I think that might be the plan, but it’s hard to tell because I just got pounded by what feels like a watermelon, so my head is still kind of fuzzy. We might want to discuss the details on that later.” Night admitted as she showed Fable a game and he shook his head, her not even owning that system.

“What a coincidence,” Vera said as she leaned on Ember’s shoulder. “I’m still in the afterglow.”

“Oh, believe me, we all heard you last night.” Spark said from the other side of an interesting collection of arcade cabinets.

“I’m sorry, pot, what was that about kettle?” Ember said and Spark’s eyebrows went up as others hummed around them. It seemed the hypocrisy was strong in that Gaming Expo.

“Take it easy on Spark, son, he’s just referring to the fact that it sounded like you were murdering poor Vera. Voltage and Night can get loud but I’m fairly certain Vee has a few more octaves she is able to reach. Good work, by the way.” Fable congratulated Ember as he walked up behind Spark and the orange unicorn stallion widened his eyes as he felt a very large, hard cock rub completely against his ass through the fabric of both of their pants. He didn’t even look at Fable as he silently excused himself and he could just hear the very wide grin on his face.

Voltage looked at Spark, then at Fable, who kissed her on the cheek as he passed. “Wow, Fabs, I could literally hear your swinging dick against him.” She rolled her eyes and Spark sighed as he shook his head.

“I said, ‘excuse me’.” Fable said with a clear sarcastic edge as the twins rolled their eyes.

“Wow, Ember, your dad is the best.” Vera observed and Spark sputtered.

“Sure is.” Ember nodded and Night snorted.

Ooooooo

One of Fable’s favorite simulations on the VR set was the Freighter Sim 3000. You are given your own satellite and you have your own living space inside the station floating over a planet in orbit. Fable would just sit in one of the living spaces with a good view of the planet beneath them and the curvature so that he could see into the stars as well.

It was also equipped with a full working television where you could put on black and white movies that didn’t have copyright anymore. He just put them on as background noise, though he would watch them sometimes in order to make fun of them. The engine sound was very relaxing and he found himself reading inside the simulator with a blanket over his lap.

The room had little glowing things and tiny holographic pictures to make it feel like a futuristic home, though it was more of a cyberpunk feel. For one reason or another, Fable decided he wanted to get into the Freighter Simulator the last night before they headed home.

The game was a rousing success. Almost all of the beta players were able to play, aside from some who constantly had errors and others that never showed or never connected. Bloodcount 8 had well over 8 million preorders by the end of the convention. Ember being one of the developers and advertisers made their stocks skyrocket and their sales reach new heights. Now, it was just a matter of what was next. Becoming a developer was hard enough, but an entire studio was something else. That was all on the back burner for the time, though.

The door opened up and there was Voltage leaning her shoulder against the doorframe. Fable sat on his desk chair with his legs up and his pajama pants on. He wore socks and a t-shirt with a very large bong on it with green smoke coming out the top.

“Hey, milady, what brings you here?” Fable asked and Voltage scoffed at this.

“Were you expecting someone with a flatter chest and dangly parts?” Voltage rolled her eyes and walked into the room, sitting on the side of the bed.

“Eh, he’ll come around to the idea eventually.” Fable shrugged and Voltage shrugged as well.

“He probably wouldn’t mind, but you probably need to be a little less obvious. I’m just bored. What are you up to?” Voltage admitted this and Fable nodded.

“Just taking a little rest after manning the booth for so long. I’m a little glad it’s over but it was pretty fun.” Fable sighed and leaned back in his chair as the old black and white movie played.

Both of them watched as the two men sat there and talked while smoking cigarettes. The stallions pulled out their guns as they looked across the street and started firing at some criminals.

“Wait, aren’t they cops? Don’t they need probable cause or…” Fable caught himself trying to find logic in this once again.

“Fabs, as long as they look like criminals and wear fedoras, they are legit suspects that are shoot-on-sight.” Voltage said and they both had a good chuckle at this.

There was a long moment between them and Voltage couldn’t help but give into some of the warmer qualities of the room. It wasn’t long before she joined Fable in pajamas and underneath the blanket. He put in another movie that he bought on his player, though.

“So, how are you and Spark, anyway?” Fable asked and Voltage shrugged.

“We’re fine, he’s busy a lot, as always, and I get to see him every couple of days. Honestly, I’ve liked staying with you most of the time. It’s nice that you’ll do the dishes.” Voltage said and Fable shrugged. “Have you talked to Final Cut about that movie idea you had?”

“Yeah, she had some good thoughts about it, but she’s already working on a few short films of her own since the last movie took off so well. She made enough in profits that she’s basically financing her own studio at this point. I’ll let you know when I hear something.” Fable leaned his head back as they both ended up sitting on the bed after a time.

“I’m starting to see why you like this space simulator.” Voltage admitted and Fable hummed.

“Well, tell SparkI’m sorry if I was being too forward the past few days. I guess being with you and everything just made me feel a little playful sometimes. You both unlock that in me, I’ve noticed.” The pegasus chuckled a little bit, but then as he snuggled up to the beautiful, sexy orange unicorn, he noticed that Voltage rolled her eyes, but didn’t say anything.

“Dude, we’ve had sex a ton of times by now and I think Spark knows when to tell you to back off.” Voltage eyed him as she leaned more onto his arm.

“Yes, and you can just tell me to back off at any point, right?” Fable said this and began to rub on Voltage’s chest through her shirt. The unicorn glared at him but didn’t say anything, even when he put his hand under her shirt and began to feel the softness of her beautiful tits and nipples. “You haven’t said anything.”

Voltage grunted, still giving Fable a look. That was when Fable kissed her on the lips. It was a smaller kiss, but there was a little hang time on it. He pulled back, looking at Voltage, who looked back at him with two blinks. He looked down at the orange mare’s pajama pants to notice that ehe was actually doing something of a good job thus far.

With a bit of a sudden urge, Fable kissed Voltage again. This time, he slid his tongue into the mare’s mouth and she found himself entwined in his arms. The red pegasus was a little shocked at his marefriend’s strong embrace, but he took the opportunity to begin to feel more of her body with his hands. Their lips smacked against one another and their tongue massaged deep into each other.

“You’re certainly being forward lately.” Voltage gasped a little bit as they broke the kiss and Fable found himself without pants.

“Voltage, you’re a sexy mare and I want your pussy. I like cock too, but I prefer you. I thought this was a little obvious.” Without warning, Voltage’s pajama pants were pulled straight down and their nethers were pressed very tight together.

“You know you don’t need all of the theatrics,” Voltage said as her wet pussy felt his shaft’s tight throbbing. They were both breathing hard against one another. She was reaching down and feeling up his cock with both of her hands and kissing him as she began to succumb to his obvious charm.

“Does it matter? I just love to flirt sometimes and sometimes I want to allude to fucking you like a fiancee” Fable admitted before rubbing his length a bit against Voltage’s slit, making her twitch a little. “You can still fuck who you like, but just know that I love you.”

“Oh, Fable, you’re such a…” Voltage blushed hard at him and Fable was flushed through his red fur. “Fine, I love you too, you goof.”

“Good, now let’s be quiet or else daddy’s going to find out.” Fable said, suddenly working his cock into her cunt and causing her eyes to bug out.

“Wait, what?” Voltage’s face turned red like his, and he began to rut up inside of her.

“Unless you want daddy to watch us fuck. That’s alright too.” He rolled over on top of her and her face was dumbfounded. She held onto his shoulders as he started to fuck her harder, pulling her legs apart to get all the way inside of her with his very large red dick. “Wouldn’t it be hot if our parents caught us fucking like this?” Fable was making no sense, but she kept having flashes of heat that made her pussy wet and squeezed him tighter.

“Fuck! Fable! Stop saying this shit!” Voltage said this but he started to bang her and she was moaning like a love-struck mare.

“Mommy! I’m fucking Voltage! Sisters and brothers aren’t supposed to— Holy shit!” He started to feel her pussy grip him like a vice and squirt all over him. He came inside of her filling her crevice like he was a very powerful water gun. Fable was coating her insides with his hot cum. There was a long moment where he gazed at his marefriend in the eye and there were some blinks.

“Look, if we could just not tell Spark about this, that’d be awesome.” Voltage gave him the angry eye as Fable put on a very wide grin.

“Voltage, your hot juice is all over my cock. Right now, that’s all I care about. We’ll talk about your little kink later.” Fable said and Voltage slapped his shoulder.
