Aon pulled her head back slowly, working her jaw to break up the hardened fur around her mouth. Blinking a couple of times at the specific spot she'd pulled her legs from she looked down to find Twilight sleeping in a similar manner. Getting up quietly the mare washed of her face, then did the same for her lover. Once satisfied with both their face's cleanliness Aon curled back up against her mare and nuzzled up under her chin before drifting back to sleep.

~^~^~^~

Twilight awoke to the feeling of warmth tucked under her chin and into her neck. She shifted ever so slightly but halted when she felt the sharp, but gentle, edge of Aon's horn on her neck. Reveiwing everything that had happened before they'd fallen asleep the lavender mare realized Aon must have cleaned her up. That wasn't even the biggest thing Aon had done for her either.

For the past three months Aon had been her rock. Her harbour in the storm. When Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow had died...When she found her brother lost to her...when Spike gave his life to protect her, and when both Sweetie and Pinkie proved to be unable to deal with the daily stress and pain. Essentially every time Twilight wished to curl up and cry, or to simply give up Aon had been there.

Personally Twilight didn't think the mare gave herself enough credit, and despite all her work could still be very skittish and introverted amongst others. Thankfully she'd managed to befriend Luna.

Yes, Luna. Somehow Nightmare had seperated Luna from her being, allowing her to kill Celestia without remorse. Having Luna on their side though, as well as Cadence and, now that Fluttershy's delegations had succeeded, the dragons meant that their odds were vastly improving.

Then Twilight;s thought circled right back to the that currently lay with her.

Aon was breathing lightly and as Twilight rubbed a hoof up the sleeping mare's side, she grinned as she felt the grip that held her tighten and Aon snuggle against her even more. This brought about a distinct pride and pleasure to Twilight, knowing simply that she was cared for by somepony, and that she too cared for that same pony. Twilight was about to close her eyes when the tent flap opened and Luna poked a head in.

"It is time..."

Twilight nodded understandingly as she watched the Lunar monarch leave and let the flap fall back into place.

~^~^~^~

Stirring from the incessant prodding Aon opened her eyes to find Twilight smiling at her. Returning the slightly larger unicorn's smile Aon gave Twilight a loving nuzzle as they both started to stand.

"Morning love. How was your night?"

Twilight gave an equally loving smile as she stretched out her hindlegs, wincing as the naturally 'glued' fur pulled and pinched.
"Need a shower, care to join me?"

Without answering Aon followed Twilight over to the large basin of water they had in their tent and lifted a damp towel, gently wiping at Twilight's nethers gently but firmly as Twilight did the same for her. It was a bit of a morning ritual at this point and both mares rubbed against each other sensually as they did so.

"One of these days we might get smart and just crawl back into the bed and keep going." Twilight quipped.

Winking Aon pulled Twilight forward and kissed her deeply whilst sliding a hoof down between her lovers freashly cleaned thighs just as Luna stuck her head back in.

"Are you two ready ye-oh my stars!"

All three mares let out cries of surprise but quickly found humour in the situation. Giggling madly both Twilight and Aon exited the tent behind Luna and headed for the command tent.

~^~^~^~

Luna stood resolute at the head of the war room, Scootaloo on the far end with Applebloom. Fluttershy was at the far corner of the table with a roguish looking bipedal dragon. That left Twilight and Aon at the corner closest to the entrance.

"From what I understand through my shared dream-link is that Nightmare is still suffering from the burns brave Knight Pendragon inflicted upon her. Due to this, her hold on the talisman that makes the Equestrian military see her as Celestia is failing. We attack, and it will break, leaving her with out support." Luna informed.

Scootaloo was the first to speak up.
"Oh hell the fuck yes! It's about time we took the fight to that bitch! We take out her support, then corner the bitch and blast the fuck out of her with the fucking elements! My marines are sure as fuck ready!"

Fluttershy nodded as her dragonfriend spoke up.
"With a considerably smaller amount of 'fuck's I agree. We attack the queen now, whilst she recovers from her wounds, and demolish her support. When that crumbles we shall then but simply need to corner her and deal with her in the proper manner."

"Kill her." Scoots deadpanned.

At this Luna turned the spotlight to Aon and Twilight.
"What do you two think of this?"

"I will do whatever Twilight wishes, but my opinion of how Nightmare should be handled is not one that can be voiced." Aon spat with a sharp edge to her voice.

Twilight didn't look much happier than Aon and simply nodded.
"She dies..."

"It is settled then. Mobilise our forces, we move out tomorrow at dawn." Luna commanded.

~^~^~^~

Aon was trotting alongside Twilight aimlessly, occasionally kicking the stray loose rock. Neither really had a destination but both were enjoying their time.

"Hey Aon...you know how we're supposed to be planted in Canterlot when the battle starts, and we're to cause a ruckus?"

Aon nodded.

"Well...I was wondering if you wanted to head there early. I heard of this bitching nightclub I wanted to visit."

"The great studier Twilight Sparkle wanting to go to what she describes as a 'bitching nightclub'? Well this day is certain to go down in the history books" Aon laughed giving her lover a nuzzle. "Sounds good. Have a bit of a party before the party."

Nodding the pair made their way to the ferrystone that would teleport them to Canterlot.

~^~^~^~

The bass reverberated to their core as the rises seemed to lift their fur to stand on end. It was a near magically feeling, and they could both feel the tempo making them want to dance wildly. Now to get past the bouncer and into the club.

As they stepped forward, the burly earth stallion blocked their path.
"Reservation?"

Both mares looked at eachother and shrugged.

"Then you aren't getting in."

Twilight was about to object when Aon took action. She sauntered forward playfully, rubbing up against the bouncer's side sensually before flicking her tail at his nose just barely enough to show a glint of the ring that lay at the peak of her treasure.
"Surely you don't require too much to let us in, I'm sure we can come back later and... relieve some stress."

The bouncer sputtered as his face turned red before motioning the two mares inside. As soon as Aon and Twilight were out of his sight, the silvery mare shuddered and shook her head.

"Ugh...no not doing that again...god that was disgusting."

Twilight just gave Aon a loving kiss.
"You are no whore, nor will you ever be."

Aon nodded and shook her head once more before smiling wildly as a new song started up.
"Right, lets go have some fun!"

~^~^~^~

Aon felt every pulse, every little waver, in the music both in her own body and through Twilight's as they swayed, hopped and danced, rubbing and grinding their sides together. A light sweat dampened their fur as they moved to the music. Despite being in a public area, surrounded by other ponies, both mares felt a moistness forming between their hind legs and shared more than a few deep kisses and shared saliva.

Neither seemed to notice the DJ paying them attention, or the creamy white mare in the corner staring. Neither did either notice the greasy looking stallion until he was right behind him. The stallion walked right up, noticing their arousal, and in his mind took it as full permission to reach up and grope them, specifically the 'cute little white on with the ring'.

With a cry of shock and outrage Aon spun around to find a disgusting looking stallion staring at her.

"Come on baby, you know you want me in that tight, sexy cunt."

Before Aon could say a thing a lavender feild of magic wrapped around the stallion's throat.
"Touch my lover again, and I'll tear your fucking legs off!"
With that said she threw the stallion over the crowds and into the far wall. It was only then that she realized the music had stopped. That was when the creamy white mare from the corner appeared through the crowd.

"Follow me please. The DJ would like to personally apologize for that stallion's behaviour and offer you a chance to meet her in pony."

Shrugging, Twilight and Aon followed the mare into the back before entering a room. As they did they both realized they'd stepped into some sort of magical field. Twilight was just charging up her magic when a white furred and blue haired blur shot out of the corner and hugged her.

"Cousin! Holy fuck you're alive!"

Twilight was stunned for a moment before recognizing who it was.

"V..Vinyl?!" Turning, Twilight realized their escort back was actually Octavia. "Tavi? But, we heard you two were dead?"

"We are." Vinyl smiled. "I'm Vee and that's Tavi. The fact that the guards never figured it out is an ode to their own stupidity, but I mean, holy fuck! You. Are. Alive! When I saw you hurl that fucker out there across the room it was all I could do to keep me from running down and hugging you. Oh and look at this! You've got yourself a marefriend!"

The lavender mare grinned at the fact that her cousin hadn't lost her exuberant personality.
"It's good to see you again too Vinyl. Oh, yeah, this is Aon, my lover. We've been through a lot together and at this point there is nobody I trust more."

"Cept for Shining, Spike and the girls, right?" Vinyl joked, but winced when Twilight's eyes fell to the floor. "They are still...no..please no..."

Knowing Twilight didn't have it in her to say it, Aon spoke up.
"Applejack and Shining were both executed by the queen. Rarity died attempting to take revenge. The base we were at was attacked and Rainbow died protecting Scootaloo. Spike died when we managed to rescue the real princess of the night, Luna, and when Sweetie found out she took her own life. Finally Pinkie also took her life a few weeks back, unable to cope with the sombre atmosphere and loss of friends. Lastly, Cadence has fallen terribly ill due to the lack of proper love in Equestria. It was the only thing keeping her alive, but with it fading..."
Aon just trailed off, unable to admit it. Her and Cadence had become good friends over the past months.

Vinyl and Octavia were about to comfort Twilight when the mare looked up.
"That's fine though, because today it all changes! We take the Queen down today, and cousin, I promise to reimburse your club. For now though, we've got an hour left, and I want to make sure I have some fun, m'kay? So how about we get back out there?"

Finding no fault in Twilight's opinion the group moved back out to enjoy themselves, perhaps for the last time.

~^~^~^~

The bouncer, on on Vinyl's orders, started emptying the club of occupants under the guise of 'the DJ feeling ill'. Once the club was emptied of occupants Vinyl expalined to her staff what was going to happen, and if they wished, they could leave, and she would understand. They did leave, but nopony judged them. War was an ugly thing after all.

That left just the four of them in the room. With nothing better to do, Vin yl and Octavia started up the music again while Twilight and Aon began to dance again, waiting for the end to begin.

Right back to grinding together and doing other such things, the pair of dancers got themselves into quite the sam situation as before, the familiar burn between their own legs. They continued, not a care in the world as they dripped on the floor, kissing and nibbling on each other. It was just as the next song started that soldiers burst into the club, hearing from a 'reliable' source that Twilight was there, all according to plan.

As the first two soldiers darted forward Aon and Twilight nimbly skipped around them, blasting them with magic and throwing them across the dance floor. Purple flames began to rise from Aon's hooves and platinum and slivery lighting began to arc over Twilight.

The next group came forward only to find that they could do nothing against the electricity striking them painfully or an oppressive blast of fire crisping their fur. Still dancing to the music, fire and lighting played amongst eachother as Aon and Twilight's fur rubbed against each other.

The mix of adrenaline and the rush from the closeness, the flat out love that they shared for eachother, managed to release itself powerfully.

They did not know over half of the stallions garrisoned in Canterlot were trying to rush into the club, but then again, those stallion never expected to be struck by a magical blast whose epicentre was two mare, panting heavily after their shared orgasm.

"Well...that was...a rush...huh, Twi? How...about we catch...our breath...then head to..the castle?"

Twilight didn't even have words, she just nodded, leaning heavily on Aon who was doing the same.

~^~^~^~

Scootaloo and Applebloom led the soldiers through the streets. This was their day for revenge, the day they could sit down and sigh in relief at the fact that Sweetie could rest in peace. But before all that, this was a different day entirely.

This was the day their enemies would crumble before them.

The hardened young mares tore through the lanes and alleys towards the castle.

On the other side of the castle Fluttershy and her dragon friends moved in from the east. Luna led the crystal ponies from the north, and, a little behind schedule' Twilight and Aon came up from the south.

The final battle was to begin!

Author's Note

Next chapter is last chapter for this part of the arc.

Call this rushed, call this too fast, but honestly this is like a prologue compared to what I want to start up.

Next chapter chapter can be summed up as, fight, quick mourning, fight, end.

Yup, that simple, it also means more ponies die.

Oh well, can't wait to get the next chapter done and....holy fuck look at all this obvious sex without ever once bringing sex into it!
