>Finally you arrive at the hotel
>The way itself seemed to take a whole month although only a few minutes has passed until your arrival
>Probably because of the desolate atmosphere which the city is surrounded by
>Every corner you passed seemed to keep its own filthy secrets
>The p0nies you saw walked by lifelessly with nothing in their eyes but desperation and sadness
>At least you think it was sadness you saw
>The buildings look abandoned and shabby and so does your so called hotel
>Even Pinkie's mood appears to be dimmed
>Instead of jumping around and talking nonsense in an incredibly fast way, like she's used to, she walks slowly with the group and observes the new area carefully
>She even tried to make friends as soon as you arrived but the other p0nies just ignored her and attended to their business
>A daredevil like Rainbow Dash becomes quite and carefully in a hostile city like this one
>You've never seen your friends like this
>Usually they're playful, happy and a bit cheeky in times but now...
>Something is seriously off here
>Furthermore...
>You feel accustomed to this special environment as if you already have been here
>It's like - you've been sent back to earth but everyone else transformed into p0nies
>And you don't like it
>Not a single bit
>You were almost glad to leave the scumhole called 'Earth'
>Your friends became quite and everyone, except your supervisor, seems to be scared
>Your protective instinct awakes once more and you try to comfort your friends as well as possible but with minor success
Heya Pinkie, what's wrong?
>"N-nothing really. Everyp0ny just reminds me on my live back then ... at the rockfarm."
>"Yeah, they're really creepy, huh? Everyp0ny seems to be so cold. Are they never happy or something?"
>RD overheard you conversation
>And so did Applejack
>"C'mon, ya don't have to talk like that! Ya don't know them, maybe they're nice p0nies, who knows? Ah mean, I believe they're nice p0nies. Ah hope it at least."
>AJ talked with the three of you. She hasn't been talking to you since you spent 'that night' together
>You look her in the eyes but she quickly avoids eye contact and blushes
>You'll have to talk to her later but right now a thing concerns you more than anything else
>Dash, AJ and Pinkie are afraid of the city
>Usually they're the most active and sometimes careless p0nies around
>You approach Twilight
Hey, what do you think about this whole ... situation. Everyp0ny has been pretty quiet, huh?
>"Princess Celestia told me about the atmosphere in Hollow Shades. But I would have never thought it would be that bad. Anon, I don't like it at all."
>You nod but you can't think of anything to soothe her
>She's right, this place is absolutely different from Ponyville
>Your hotel is an old and sordid building pretty much in the center of the city
>The reception tells you your rooms are on the first floor so you walk upstairs
>The mane six and you share one room together while Cordan, your supervisor, got his own room
>Perhaps it's not the best idea of all times to sleep in one room with a p0ny who has a sickly obsession with having sex with you, another one you actually had sex with by your own choice and one you don't know if she has a crush on you although you consider her as your bro
>But on the other hand they won't try anything while the others are around, will they?
>While everyone is trying to get comfortable you speak up
Listen. I'll go back outside and try to gather as much intel as I can. After all your job is to defeat the source of all harm that is currently happening with your 'Elements-of-Harmony'-thing. You can leave the scutwork to me, that's why I'm here, right?
>You hear them mumble 'but' and 'wait' but before anyone could have stopped you, you already walked outside
>The pressure is just to high for them to take it and you know it
>You'll have to find the perpetrator as quick as possible so all of you can return to Ponyville
>Checking your equipment you're quiet relieved to have taken your hammer and your knife. Just to be on the safe side
>Where could you check for clues first?
>Usually the most common place to get clues in movies is a bar
>You head to the nearest bar right next to the hotel
>A small, rundown building with a wooden sign above appears to be the right place to start your search for clues
>The sign even says 'The right Hoof' with a picture of ... a right hoof. Stupid name
>You enter the establishment and good twenty or thirty pairs of eyes were focused on you
>Trying to ignore the staring p0nies you sit down at the counter
>The bartender who is cleaning some glasses doesn't take notice of you
>You should ask him if he knows anything
>He's a bartender so he has to pick up a thing or two
>It's almost like one of these really old crime movies. Even the pub itself is dimmed
>You take a look at the sold goods
>Most of them look like bottles of alcohol, something you'd hardly find in Ponyville
>You cough slightly
Err, excuse me?
>The bartender gives you an enervated look and keeps cleaning his glasses
>You cough a little bit louder
Could you please answer me some questions?
>He puts down his glass and walks over to you groaning
>"Whatcha want?!"
Err, I'd like to ask-
>"This is not a helpdesk. Order something or leave"
O-okay, what do you sell?
>He looks more pissed every second
>"Sweets and cupcakes. What do YOU think, kid?"
Alright gimme one shot.
>He pulls a shot glass and fills it with some kind of clear liquid
>"That'll be five bits."
But the sign says two!
>"Well, this drink is 'especially' for you, heh. Now pay."
>Sonofa...
>Since you don't want to get in trouble you hand the bits over
>He takes them and tends to turn around
Hey, wait, I still want to ask you some question!
>He turns his head and gives you the most contemptuous look
>"Like I said, this is not a helpdesk!"
>Alright, now he went definitely to far
>You swallow your shot in one gulp
I want to order another shot then.
>He comes closer
>Time to get back to old habits. Earth habits.
>Just as he wants to pull another shot glass you grab him by his short and greasy mane and pull him close to your face
Listen up, fuckface. I want to ask you a few question. And you better have some answer ready. Otherwise...
>You rise to your full height and show him your hammer
>Luckily you're way higher than he is, otherwise your gesture wouldn't have the same effect
Talk or I'll smash your skull on the counter.
>You grab his mane firmer to let him know that you mean it
>His eyes widen
>"Alright, don't need to get grumpy, do you?"
>You feel everyone's glance on your back but you don't care right now
>This guy needs to be taught a lesson and you need answers
What do you know about the missing p0nies?! Talk!
>"I-I don't know nothing!"
Liar!
>You shake his head
>"N-no, it's the truth. B-but there's something strange about them."
>You let him lean closer
>"Most of them are pegasi or unicorns. No earth p0nies were harmed until now."
Who did it?!
>"I-I-I don't know, I swear!"
>Pulling his head up you look him in the eyes
>Eyes filled with treachery, guilt and ... grief???
>You let him go
Okay. I believe you.
>He tempts to leave but you stop him
Hey! Where's my shot?
>He shakily fills another shot glass and looks at you
Heh, I think this one comes on the house, right?
>He nods slowly and walks away
>What a scumbag. Talking big but getting all scared as soon as you threat him
>Pegasi and unicorns missing? Now that he mentioned it, the photos you saw where mostly pegasi and some unicorns. But what could this mean? Maybe some earth p0nies have a hoof in the pie?
>Just as you're about to gulp the shot down a mare approaches and takes the seat next to you
>"Hi there, big boy. I saw what you did with the bartender."
>This was absolutely nothing like you. And you still feel bad about it. If your friends would have seen you ...
Yeah, he deserved it.
>You need every clue you can get in order to protect your friends
>"You're right he's an absolute jackass. I'd like to get to know you. You're pretty strong, aren't you?"
>It's rather dark inside the pub, but you can see her long mane combed to the right and her big half-closed eyes observing you
>You got accustomed to p0nies by now and actually they don't seem strange to you anymore. Furthermore you start to find mares attractive
>She slides closer to you
>"I've never saw anyone like you. Where do you come from?"
>She lays her leg on you lap as she comes even closer
>You grin like an idiot and scratch the back of your head
Well, umm, I'm not from around here, you could say I traveled pretty much.
>"Oh, so you're an adventurer?"
Not quite, but I had to fight sometimes to be honest.
>She's actually cute and interested in you. There'll be no harm in staying a bit longer than necessary.
>"I have some friends over there who would be interested in a guy like you."
>She points at a table behind you
>You turn around and you grin freezes
>Instead of a bunch of giggling mares there are sinister looking stallions
>You can't really spot them since it's so dark but you know that they're not a 'party service'. At least not in the common sense
Umm, I think I'll pass.
>You gulp down your shot
But thanks, anyways. I have to go.
>She starts to smile. A vicious and spiteful smile
>"I don't think you'll go anywhere."
What do you-
>Your heart starts to rush. Your body shivers and you feel cold all of a sudden altough you're starting to sweat. Your mouth is getting dry and it becomes impossible to swallow. Even breathing is almost impossible
>You try to stand up but your legs can't hold you so you land face-first on the hard ground
>Your vision becomes blurry and while you're still shivering and meanwhile also foaming
>You start to see everything as a passive watcher catching bits of pictures every now and then
>Zero body control
>During your collapse two stallions, probably from the same table that 'fine lady' pointed at, approach you and grab your arms
>They're talking but you can't hear very much
>All of your senses has been dazed
>As they start to drag you, you can hear '...ing monkey' and 'heavy bit...'
>Afterwards your mind blacks out
>Supposedly for a few minutes because the next frames you're able to catch are still the two of them dragging you but this time through a hallway
>Everything turns dark again
>You wake up in a gloomy room with a few doors and some sinks
>Words are spoken but you can't understand them
>Your body is still paralyzed but your mind slowly starts to come back
>A figure is standing above you, face to face
>Your hearing senses are coming back
>"Are you sure that's all?"
>"What do YOU think? I searched him completely!"
>The figure above you must be the same mare that poisoned you
>Her yellow mane sways over your face
>She must be examining you
>"Wake up!"
>Your right cheek burns in stinging pain as a hoof smacks across your face
W...wh..
>"Ah, so you are awake?"
>"Why are you waking him up? Let's leave him, we got what we want!"
>The mare stands up and turns around
>"Yeah, but look at him. He's such a nice one. And a big one, too..."
>"Your fetishes disgust me. Make it quick, we're waiting outside."
>You hear hooves clopping away
>The mare turns back to you
>Your sight is still too dazed to make her face out
>But you can see her licking her lips
>"You ARE a beauty. Just look at you."
>Now that she mentions it you recognize a pile of clothes, your clothes, lying next to you
>So you are naked?!
...wh-what do ... you want..?
>You're even too weak to talk
>As she mounts you she starts to whisper in your ear
>"I already did it with diamond dogs, other stallions, griffins, even a dragon one time. But a talking monkey? This might be interesting."
>What the hell, how did everything turn so fucked up in literally a few seconds
>Her hoof makes its way down to your groin
>"Oh, come on! Am I not attractive enough or what?"
>She giggles as her hoof starts to stroke your limp member
>Seriously does this bitch think you can get hard in your current state? You need a doctor, not sexual attention!
>By the way, you should really get to one
>Your head is spinning and you can't focus your eyes on anything. It's like you were drinking too much
>Your body tenses as you start to gag
>"Oh no, you won't, sweety. We don't want to make a mess here, do we?"
>She turns around and presses her flooding marehood in your face
>Without a warning she starts to grind roughly on your face
>While she moans in joy you're unable to breathe
>You're unable to gag since you can't breathe properly
>Instead you body starts wreathe and your burning lungs cry for oxygen
>Still you are not able to push her away
>The drug or whatever she used leaves you vulnerable
>Soon you realize you'll suffocate if you use up your energy like this as you suffer from tunnel vision
>Your body slowly stops in submission and you zero in on not passing out
>She seems to notice it too
>"*pant* Don't you dare! *pant* Time for a special treatment then."
>She bends forward releasing your face
>Fresh, lifesaving air fills up your lungs easing your pain in relief
>Your vision gets clearer
>Her bottom is right in front of your face, her cheeks are spread because of the bending
>The loose, yellow tail twitches and reveals her wet nethers to you
>And it looks ... arousing. Her small slit is dripping while her soaked clit winks at you. The hole above seems to be pulsating in anticipation
>You'd really enjoy this 'treat' if you wouldn't be in such a weird and threatening situation
>This and your still dizzy head explain why you aren't getting hard right now
>She starts to lick the tip of your member in slow circles
>After a while you can feel her engulfing it completely
>You can't help yourself but to moan
>Her head starts to bob up and down, first slowly but eventually she gets faster
>Effortlessly
>Your dick stays the same way he was
>Lying on the ground, not able to move, you ask yourself what she's going to do with you after she's finished
>You'd run away, but every second you feel worse
>Probably you sh-
>She slams her butt down on your face again and starts to grind even rougher than before
>Meanwhile she works your shaft in an incredibly fast way
>"A tough one? I like that!"
>Sweet fluids invade your mouth and nostrils
>And you can't stop it
>Once again you feel like loosing your conscious
>While she grinds her marehood on your mouth, your nose is right between her slit and her asshole
>You can feel your body waking up
>The lack of air, which makes you almost pass out, the strong hormones in a mares lovejuice, her jerking your dick and the fact that a mare is using you as a lovetoy makes your member rock-hard
>"That's more I like it!"
>As she stand up you're able to catch some air
>She mounts you again and guides your dick into her wet, pulsating hole
>You can feel her winking like mad down there as she sits down on you
>Taking your whole length in, her insides convulse and release your member in a faster getting rhythm
>She pumps herself up and down as she moans louder and louder while ruffling her mane
>You wish you could share her pleasure
>But instead your constitution is getting worse
>It almost feels like she is beating the last bit of energy out of your body
>She stopped moving her whole body but instead she's working just with her hips
>Her pussy eagerly pulsates around your shaft
>You can feel her getting tighter and tighter
>She's almost at climax
>And so are you
>With one tiny difference
>Your head feels like it's going to burst open while your body is limp and unable to move (aside from your member)
>She screams while having an orgasm
>Her juice is getting all over you groin and stomach
>Not like you would care
>You passed out once more yet
>"Hey! Boy, hey! Wake up!"
>What is it?
>You open your eyes slowly
>You aren't naked anymore but you still feel something dried and crusty on your stomach
>"That's the way!"
>An older looking stallion is bending over your face
>"Are you alright? Can you talk?"
>You nod and try to stand up, only to fall back on the ground
>Your whole body feels like you're going to die any moment
>The stallion tries to help you up but you push him away
>Feels like a carrousel is spinning inside your head
>This time you lean to the side and vomit loudly
>"Easy! Here take this."
>He puts a pill inside your mouth
>You'd spit it out if you wouldn't feel so sick
>Swallowing it you can feel your head easing a bit and your body relaxes
>You lay on the ground for quite a while trying to recover as good as possible
>After a few minutes the stallion speaks up again
>"So 'Security', huh?"
>He read the sign on your jacket
>"Seems more like a greenhorn to me."
Not funny.
>"Oh, don't make a fuss!"
>With his help you're able to sit up and lean against a wall
>"Just wait until the effects of the pill kick in completely and you'll be able to walk home."
What-what was that? I mean, what's wrong with this city?!
>You're feeling better every minute
>"So you ARE a newbie? That's how things go here for a while now."
What do you mean?
>He looks at you sadly
>"So you really don't know what's going on? I'm sorry, you wouldn't be the first one to be confused."
Just spit it!
>He turns a bit angry but sighs eventually
>"I have a theory, you know. Did you hear about the p0nies who went missing misteriously?"
Yeah, what's about that?
>"Where do I start? You surely have noticed the perpetual darkness surrounding the city. Well Hollow Shades is actually in a place where sunlight only reaches hardly. That's why the few hours of sunlight are mostly important to us."
>Where is he heading? You decide not to disrupt him also because you don't feel like talking
>"Lately most of the pegasi and some unicorns disappeared while the city started to getting more cloudy in time. Finally there was nop0ny left anymore to clean the sky. The few pegasi who weren't abducted don't dare to go outside anymore."
>He's right... The photos of the murdered p0nies you saw... Most of them were pegasi!
>"The never-ending darkness soon pushed the spirit down around these parts. Criminals started to pop up out of nowhere! The city is crowded by treacherous individuals now! That's why everyone carries around these."
>He shows you one of the pills he gave you
So you know who's responsible for this mess?
>"No, but rumors say it's an unknown creature who captured these p0nies."
>That's not very helpful
>He raises and tempts to leave you
>"Consider yourself lucky you only got robbed! At least you got something in return, hah!"
>He leaves the room laughing
>Fuck! Your money is gone and so are your weapons!
Wait! Why did you help me?
>His voice sounds from the next room but seems far away at the same time
>"Not everyp0ny turned into a criminal, boy."
>After another few minutes you feel strong enough to stand up
>Your walk is unsteady at first but you quickly get used to it
>This pill, it really got you back on your feet
>You leave the room and look back at the signs
>'Toilet rooms'. Of course.
>You make your way back to the pub
>The bartender is the only one around here
>He looks up and his face turns into a spitting image of despite
>"We are closed!"
No shit ...
>"What was that?!"
>You decide to ignore him since you don' feel like fighting
>This asshole probably knew what they were going to do with you
>Well, next time you shouldn't go around, menacing p0nies and shit
>Stepping outside you breath in the fresh morning air
>Smells like morning at least. It's shady outside as always (you figure)
>This implies you were unconscious the whole day and night!
>You friends must be worried sick!
>Heading the fastest way back you recognize something following you
>Probably that stupid mare! You really don't need a second Fluttershy right now!
>After some time you get fed up with this and turn around
Alright, show yourself! What do you want? I don't have any bits left, you took them all!
>You here a voice coming from the shadows. A male voice...
>"That's too bad! Actually I wanted to give you some bits back."
>A man appears around the corner
>Wait, aren't you the only human in Equestria?!
Who are-? You're the one I've been dreaming about!
>You recognize his strange suit and the black mask
>"Dreaming about me? I'll take that as a compliment."
>He laughs in a high-pitched voice
>Even the same laugh...
>"I think this belongs to you."
>He comes closer and throws your hammer, your knife and your bag of bits in front of your feet
Where did you- I mean, HOW did you get that?!
>"Oh, stop looking at me like that! I just had 'some fun' and did you a favor as well!"
>He laughs again in his maniacally way
You sick fuck! Did you do all these horrible things to these p0nies?!
>Although you got robbed by the p0nies here your rage rampages within you
>Attacking p0nies is a crime itself. But your dreams and the photos confirm the abusion he did to them
>You'll show this disgusting freak. The effects of the poison are completely burned away by your anger
>Picking up your things your mind only focuses on him
>There's nothing more important than taking him out
>"As a guard under Princess Celestia orders I command you to come with me without any kind of resistance!"
>You raise your hammer and point the tip at him
>Sure, it would be better if he came with you but two things counter this expectation
>First, true villains don't just surrender and second ... you want to crush him before he can hurt your friends or anyp0ny else
>"Ha, don't be stupid! Let's see what you are made of."
>He dashes at you in a split second, giving you just about enough time to raise your hammer and take a defensive stance
>You block his kick and evade a fist coming from the right, leaving him open for a counter
>Raising your old trusty hammer you aim for his aim
>Just as you should hit his head he dodges and knocks you down with a straight punch
>You fall down and spit some blood
>"That's all?"
You'll see...
>You raise and jump at him
>This time he grabs your arm, stopping your attack, and twists it forcing you to turn around
>You pull your knife and lash out
>"That's not the nice way!"
>He leans back and kicks you in the back
>You land face-first in the dust
>"Show me if you are even worth living!"
>He approaches you quickly and tries to stomp you down
>You roll to the side and jump back on your feet
>With the knife in your left and the hammer in your right hand you go for another hit
>This time it doesn't seem like he's going to dodge it
>Perfect!
>Your hammer swings to his knees
>He just raises a foot absorbing the full impact
>What inhuman strength!
>A second later he steps on the handle causing you to bend down
>His knee connects with your face. In an uncomfortable way
>You fall down again
>Your nose feels broken and you can taste your own blood
>About now you realize that you don't stand a chance against him
>He leans over you, preparing his final punch
>You don't stand a chance against him if you play fair that is
>Raising you knife you lunge out and stab it deep into his back
>He's right, this isn't the nice way. It's surviving.
>His body goes limp and he falls onto you
>You push him aside, panting because of the immense strain of the fight
>It was a short but intense fight
>But finally you got him
>Sitting up you try to recover a bit
>Suddenly you hear a high pitched laughing
No...
>His eyes are open wide as he laughs aloud
Why didn't you die?!
>You reach for him but he jumps up using his arms and his (wounded?) back
>"That was a nice warm-up! Didn't convince me completely though."
>You can almost see his eyes glowing beneath his mask
>"If that is all ..."
>He comes closer slowly
>Damn it! Your body is still weak from the poison!
>There must be something you can do. It can't end here!
>"Anon! Anooon!"
>"Anon, where are you again?! Darn it!"
>Aren't these the voices of ...?
>The mane 6 arrive at he place seeing you on the ground
>"Anon, what happened?"
>The mysterious man also took notice of them
>"This should be even more fun."
No..
>You stand up and turn around
This one is responsible for everything!
>Dash is the first of them to reach you and she doesn't look to happy about this information
>"You! Where did you take these poor p0nies?!"
>"You're too late..."
>Meanwhile the others have caught up
>"What does he mean, Anon?"
>You look at Twilight's questioning face
Didn't the princess told you?
>"Hah, this is just too amusing. But I'm sorry I'll have to interrupt you!"
>Pure joy is swinging within his voice
>And you know what he's capable to
You can't beat him! Run!
>"B-but we can't let you here!"
>You raise your arms and stand between them and your enemy
I'll stop him! Get some help, NOW!
>Although you don't know how you'll stop him...
