Title: Twilight Sparkle was looking into a deep black void. Not the swirling, phantasma Author: Anonymous Pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/gC0an1Bt First Edit: Wednesday 22nd of February 2012 02:21:48 PM CDT Last Edit: Wednesday 22nd of February 2012 02:21:48 PM CDT Twilight Sparkle was looking into a deep black void. Not the swirling, phantasmal kind, she realized. Instead, she had simply managed to find herself in some kind of small, cramped room. There was not one hint of light, and the pitch blackness was quite absolute, as far she could tell. She raised a hoof to her face, and found that, with some focusing, she could just manage to make out its form. Where was she?   Curious, Twilight gingerly took a step forward. She was surprised to find that she was able to walk unrestricted. Now, what reason was there to think it would even be a problem in the first place, she wondered? As a few dark, muted moments passed, Twilight began to feel a certain measure of inexplicable agitation, like there was something imposing on her.   As she went to take another step forward, the room was suddenly illuminated in a normal indoor light. There didn't seem to be any source to it; the lights were inexplicable as well. Twilight's head whipped around in surprise, trying to quickly take in all that she could in order to figure out where she might be.   It was a room she had never seen before. There was old, partially rotted wooden paneling lining the walls, and a broken up cobblestone floor. The room was about the size of a very large walk-in closet.   Twilight now tried to consider what the explanation for all this might be, when suddenly a terrible feeling of dread and fear shot to the forefront of her mind. She seemed to recall the words of one of her friends, Applejack, saying, "Remember Sugarcube, when the lights go on all by themselves, you know there's something about to go wrong!"   For some reason, that settled the matter in her mind, and she decided to stop questioning and, in spite of her fear, decided instead to walk through a door that she had only just now realized lay in front of her.   Twilight emerged into the bright light of her bedroom at the library. The room was lit by strong natural light that streamed in through her windows. Warmth and homeliness radiated from every detail, but Twilight couldn't help but notice the growing a lump in her throat telling her that everything about this was wrong.   The ceiling was much higher than normal. In fact, it was high enough to belong to a gothic cathedral. Twilight's eyes lingered on this detail for a moment, considering it, and then passed her gaze over the walls of the room. On the left side, there was a large, ornate, and incredibly out of place balcony, seemingly attached to the woodwork of the house. Twilight recognized it as the balcony atop which Nightmare Moon had appeared in a shocking display so long ago, just after she had moved to Ponyville. Her mind didn't recognize this feature as anything particularly odd.   When Twilight's eyes passed over the rest of the room, however, she noticed immediately that the bookshelves that normally lined the place were now gone, replaced with some small rickety shelves containing strange knickknacks, like the ones at Zecora's hut in the forest. She decided that Zecora must have replaced all of her books while Twilight was off visiting Princess Celestia, and Twilight felt herself becoming now less afraid, but more angry. She was becoming irrationally angry, in fact. A deep hatred and rage welled up as she pictured Zecora's face. Just the thought of her seemed to mock Twilight as her emotions boiled inside her stomach, threatening to make her explode. She felt like cursing Zecora to the ends of the earth.   Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs. She screamed in anger and sadness and fear. She screamed as loud as she was capable, and yet despite her efforts, was only able to get out a barely-audible, raspy length of words. She had totally lost her voice and was only able to manage a whisper.   What she heard herself say was completely illogical and unexpected: "Why, Rainbow Dash? Why did this happen? What did I do to deserve this!?"   To her surprise, Rainbow Dash's voice sounded out a response: "Twilight? Hey Twilight, they say you have to wake up..."   Hearing Dash's voice coming suddenly from nowhere startled Twilight such that she felt her entire body jolt.   The jolt was the feeling of Twilight's body waking up from what she now immediately realized was a very odd dream.   How strange, she thought to herself, that you don't realize how weird a dream really is until after you wake up.   She made a mental note to see if there was a book about dreaming back at the-   Twilight's eyes shot open with realization. She was met with a wide stare of concern on behalf of her friend, Rainbow Dash, whose ruby-colored eyes were looking directly into her own. Yet, it was like the pegasus was looking at her without really seeing. The expression on her face was vacant and exhausted.   Twilight's eyes wandered to the collar around Dash's neck, and the soreness she now realized she felt around her neck caused by what she knew was her own collar snapped her back to the grim, logical reality of where she was.   "Are you okay, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked. Her voice was dull and hoarse. "You just kept saying my name while I was trying to wake you up, I didn't know if something was wrong..."   "Oh, yeah, it's fine, it was just a dream." Twilight responded in as reassuring a way as possible. "Why are you waking me up...?"   Twilight shifted where she lay with the aim of taking in their surroundings. She found she was lying on the same bedding in the same clearing somewhere in the middle of the forest. The sunlight in the sky was waning into a deep red-orange. The sun was creeping along the western corner of the sky now. It was evening. She vaguely recalled numbly eating some of the breakfast the zebras had given her before silently burying her head in her hooves in a futile attempt to forget everything they had done to her. It was here that the effects of the drugs she had ingested must have taken over, causing her to doze off and sleep the day away. Now, as the sun was setting, Rainbow Dash had finally woken her up.   Over Rainbow's shoulder Twilight spied the four zebras milling around in the middle of clearing, arguing anxiously among one another. All of their bedding had been cleared away. The large packs each held on his side were filled to the brim, apparently with supplies and what used to be the camp; everything was now packed up. The long shadows cast by their pack-laden forms were elongated and distorted by the low sun so that, despite their distance from the two ponies, the shadows still cast over the pair. This detail made Twilight feel as though she was uncomfortably close to them, bringing an uneasiness much akin to what she had felt in her dream.   "Twilight," Dash's voice snapped Twilight out of her analysis. Her friend had taken so long to respond that Twilight had almost forgotten that she had even asked her a question in the first place. "They say we're packing up and we have to go right now, so try and stand up."   "But Rainbow, why exactly...?"   "They don't want me to tell..." Dash glanced over her shoulder at the arguing zebras, and decided to take a calculated risk. She leaned over Twilight and said in a terse whisper, "A pegasus flew over us a few minutes ago. I think it was someone from the royal guard."   Twilight's heart skipped a beat. Her drowsiness now faded, she stood up immediately, her collar rattling around her neck. Desperate to latch on to some good news, her optimism returned in full force, much reminiscent of earlier in the day when she had managed to pull off a spell.   "Rainbow, we can't let them move us, then! The Princess has got to be coming! We'll... We can..." Twilight racked her brain for ideas. "Well we can't fight them, but we could stall! We have to pretend that we're... um... that we're sick! We're so sick that we can't move!" Twilight's words were practically tripping over themselves in a hurry to get themselves from her brain to her mouth.   Rainbow Dash's reaction was less than reassuring. "Geez Twilight, quiet down!" She hissed.   Twilight recoiled back, shocked and hurt by her friend's harsh reaction.   "Dash..."   "Twilight, I'm sorry..." Dash mumbled. She dug a hoof into the dirt and traced a small circle in front of her absentmindedly. "It's just..." Her words were barely audible now. "I don't want to get punished again..."   Twilight took a moment to consider the blue pegasus' words. She decided resolutely that there was no way she was going to let her hope be deflated this time, now that there was some concrete chance of a rescue. In fact, it made her angry that Rainbow would give up so easily.   "How can you even say that?" Twilight said, raising her voice slightly. "How can you just give up? You can't just... just... you can't just wuss out on me!" She finished wildly.   "Twilight..." If Twilight had been properly paying attention, she would have noticed the tears beginning to form in Rainbow Dash's eyes.   "If you're so afraid of being punished, how do you feel about getting shipped away and never seeing our home again? How do you feel about that!?" Twilight's demanded in an even louder tone.   "I don't want that, Twilight, but-   Twilight cut her off, her voice now just barely shy of a full out yell. She heard herself say something she immediately knew was a terrible mistake: "I'll tell you what you want! I bet you just want to stay here and get fucked by the zebras all day, don't you? I saw you, you were loving it!"   It was out of wild desperation for the most severe thing to say that those words came out of Twilight's mouth. She immediately knew she never should have said it, not in a hundred years, and not in a thousand. But it was said, and Rainbow Dash was now just looking back at her with a painful expression of shock and sadness.   Twilight braced herself for the inevitable response, but none came. Instead, Dash simply turned away from Twilight and sank to the ground, where she began to sob quietly. Twilight considered reaching an arm out to comfort her and apologize, but in light of what had just happened, thought against it. She tried to think of something she could say when she suddenly became aware that the four zebras had taken up the former positions of their shadows and were now standing right next to the two ponies.   Gozama was staring at Twilight with a wide, frankly creepy smile. This was in complete contrast to the other three zebras, who all looked solemn. The look on the chief zebra's face was particularly severe.   Twilight was about to say something to the effect that she was very sick and they simply couldn't move her, or that she had some kind of magic disease and couldn't travel during the night, or anything to throw them off and stall. Unfortunately, all thoughts of defiance died inside her under the chief's withering, wordless stare. Instead, she simply stared dumbly at them and said nothing.   Then, Zela stepped forward and, with a mighty heave, pulled the stake that held the chain from Twilight's collar out of the ground.   "We are leaving now, pony," he stated simply. "Now come."   The feeling of restriction brought on by the collar and stake now lifted, Twilight immediately considered if it would be worth it to run for it. If she suddenly sprinted off into the brush, they probably wouldn't be able to find her in the waning light. That was true, she reasoned, but something else was liable to, and for the moment being with the zebras was preferable to getting eaten by a timber wolf or something even worse.   Dragging her hooves as she made the few steps toward Zela, Twilight hoped that every small second saved would be the one that would bring Celestia and a whole battalion of royal guards crashing into the clearing to save them.   Once Twilight had reached Zela, the other large zebra, Mbelo, leaned over and attached a new lead onto her collar that connected her to the pack harness worn by the former.   Gozama, in the meantime, had trotted over to the still sobbing Rainbow Dash. He plopped down next to her, reached out to put an arm around her side, and nuzzling her mane with the side of his head.   "Do not be sad, Rainbow Dash," he said in a heady whisper. "After you come with us you will feel better."   Dash tensed up at Gozama's touch, but seemed determined neither to respond nor to react any further.   After a few moments of uncomfortable silence wherein Zela and Mbelo exchanged sarcastic glances and Gozama made odd, unsuccessful attempts to comfort Rainbow Dash as if he were actually a close, personal friend, the chief grunted loudly and spoke.   "There is no time for this nonsense! You will stop your crying, pony!" The chief stepped forward and knocked Gozama aside with his foreleg. He bent down and grabbed Rainbow Dash's mane in his teeth and pulled her entire body forcibly upright. Once she was upright, she reluctantly stood under her own power while the chief fastened her collar to his own pack harness. She still sniffled lightly, though her sobbing had stopped. She seemed to be making a pointed effort to avoid looking at the zebras or even Twilight; her head was turned away, he gaze locked on a patch of dirt.   Gozama was standing back up as well, looking brooding and indignant. He dusted himself off and slinked back behind the other zebras, the objects in his pack rattling hollowly.   "Now ponies," the chief began, addressing Twilight and Rainbow Dash in a stern voice, "We must go quickly. We have no problem with dragging you through the dirt, but I am sure you would not prefer it, so you had better keep up."                   It was almost an hour of walking through the overgrown and rapidly-darkening forest path before somebody spoke. To Twilight's surprise it was Rainbow Dash's voice that sounded, though her body was obscured by the massive form of the chief zebra, next to whom she was walking:   "Why do you guys do this?" Dash muttered timidly. She spoke without the aim of addressing anybody in particular.   Her words elicited a grunt of derision from Zela, but otherwise no response from the zebras. After a few moments where Twilight thought the question would go unanswered, the chief spoke without turning to acknowledge the captive tethered beside him:   "We already explained. Without new mothers for our young, the zebra will die."   "And you have to do it like this?" Rainbow asked. "You realize how much you're hurting other ponies, right? We didn't do anything to deserve this..."   "And what would you have us do, then?" The chief shot back maliciously, still without looking at Rainbow Dash.   "I don't know, but certainly not this!" Rainbow Dash's voice had now risen to match the volume of the chief zebra.   "You will live comfortable lives in Zebrica, and you will enjoy very good sex. We are not bad creatures, Rainbow Dash." The chief spoke very assuredly. It was obvious that he thought his reasoning would settle the matter indefinitely.    Obviously, he didn't know Rainbow Dash well enough to know this would not be the case.   "Not bad creatures!?" Dash shouted back incredulously, somehow overcoming the hoarseness of her voice. "You're all terrible! You're all sick!" All her timidity was giving way to confidence and anger now.   "Sick, eh?" Mbelo piped up now. "You didn't seem to think it was sick when the chief was fucking you, rainbow pony!" Mbelo and Zela both cackled. Surprisingly, not a sound came from Gozama where he walked at the back of the group.   "That's... that's..." In an attempt to keep from losing her newfound momentum, Dash struggled for a response. "That's a bunch of applesauce! I know you put something in that water!"   The zebras, minus Gozama, all laughed now, even the chief, who let out a few deep guffaws that resounded with massive contrast to the high-pitched cackles from Mbelo and Zela.   "Perhaps," the chief zebra began to explain, "you did not hear when we explained to your friend-   "She's not my friend." Rainbow Dash cut him off, angrily muttering the words that made Twilight's heart stop.   Twilight stopped dead in her tracks, her legs locked. Her sudden stop jerked Zela slightly, but his strength rendered the effect comparatively small to the force his body exerted back, which knocked Twilight forward off her hooves. She tumbled into a heap on the ground, one leg tangled in her collar's lead.   The sudden commotion stopped the conversation there. The zebras turned to look Twilight, who was awkwardly trying to stand up as she was being dragged through the dirt. Bits of dirt and rock cut into her as she struggled, wondering whether or not she should risk asking Zela to stop or slow down.   Zela answered this question for her by stopping momentarily to reach down and yank the lead away from Twilight's caught leg and brusquely stand her up again, before resuming his original pace.   "Stupid pony," he muttered, giving Twilight a brief kick in the side out of annoyance. Zela obviously thought the kick wasn't much, but to a smaller, weaker pony like Twilight the hit stung painfully, and she found herself gasping for air. As she did this, she vaguely heard the conversation between Rainbow Dash and the chief continue:   "Anyway," the chief continued, "yes, former friend, whatever. I was saying that our potion does nothing to make a pony feel pleasure, only to make them sleepy obedient. If you felt good with my cock inside you, it was all you, you slutty little pony..."   Those words brought Twilight immediately back to the scene where she had first heard them spoken by the chief, after she had lost her virginity against her will to one of the zebras. Considering what it meant in the big picture was even more painful than she had felt it was at the time... Had she really liked it that much? A part of her had tried its hardest to block all those memories from her waking consciousness. Now it all came flooding back at once, forcing her to relieve every moment as one. She could feel her emotions threatening to spiral out of control...   As Twilight finally caught her breath, she realized she wasn't even listening to what was going on anymore. She felt the torrent of trauma hit her, accompanied by the words, "She's not my friend." A lump formed in her throat and the bottom dropped out of her stomach.   Not my friend anymore...? Twilight remembered how she first met the once carefree pony that would become one of her closest friends. She remembered all the things they had done together, all the moments they had shared.   It just wasn't fair, Twilight told herself amid tears. It wasn't fair that they could be snatched away so easily, treated so horribly, and have their friendship ended so abruptly over a stupid moment of anger on her part. But she realized how deeply her vulgar comment must have cut Rainbow Dash. Thinking back, Dash was having a harder time than Twilight was. Twilight had tried to block out what had happened, but Dash seemed to be living every moment vividly, as evidenced by the painful expressions she wore, even when speaking with Twilight, and how quickly she had been ready to admit defeat.   Twilight had been too selfish, too analytical, this whole time. She should have done a better job comforting Rainbow Dash instead of obsessing over escape. This was her fault...   "She's not my friend."   Again the words sounded in her mind. Tears were now flowing freely from Twilight's eyes.   Rainbow was all I had, Twilight told herself. If she hates me now, she might as well have died. I might as well have died. There's no point anymore...   Twilight was about to let her tired body drop to the ground, defeated. If that meant being dragged through the dirt all the way to wherever they were going, so be it. It just didn't matter any longer.   Then, the troop abruptly came to a stop. Twilight was so surprised she forgot about dropping to the ground and stood stock still instead. A great shout brought her fully out of own thoughts and back to what was going on before her. As she finally took in what was being said again, she caught the tail end of Rainbow Dash shouting:   -Princess would wipe you all off the face of the planet!"   "You go too far pony!" The chief boomed back. His voice practically shook the darkness-shrouded trees around them. "Now you have made a grave mistake! You have spoken of genocide to a zebra! I am tired now of listening to your disobedience! We should have been harder on both you ponies from the beginning!"   The rage emanating from the chief frightened Twilight greatly. The chief had used his booming voice before, but up until this point he had always been the civilized voice of reason among the group, keeping his demeanor even as he talked of how he was going to have them raped...   "Zebras, stop!" The chief shouted, seemingly unaware that the group had already ground to a stop the instant he started yelling. "We have gone far enough into the dark to be out of sight of any pursuers for the evening. Let's find a place to stop for the night and teach this disobedient pony some respect for her masters!"   Twilight didn't know what he had planned, but she did know that at this point, she could feel no fear: only an icy sense of dread and despair.                   The new campsite was a decent ways off the road, situated atop a hill. The peak of the hill, where the zebras had unpacked, was covered overhead by a thick grove of trees. The reasoning behind this being, of course, was the fact that it would be protected against further aerial flybys. The hill was shallow, but it rose high enough to provide a slight overlook to the nearby river. The distant bubbling of running water sounded faintly in Twilight's ears as she sat on the grass, her collar now securely fastened to a newly planted stake.   Rainbow Dash sat directly on Twilight's right, also tied down. Her courage seemed to have deflated, and now she sat silent, shivering slightly. Twilight wasn't sure if she was shivering with the cold of the night, or whether it was due to fear of what her punishment might be this time.   Twilight's attempts to talk to her friend were met with stony silence. She tried a few times, but each attempt that was met with no response made her feel ten times worse. Eventually she just stopped trying and resigned herself to whatever was coming.   Then, the forest around them lit up all at once as the four zebras succeeded in lighting a small fire and three small torches that staked out a perimeter around the campsite. Twilight's inquisitive thoughts absentmindedly wondered what the most efficient way to light a fire in the wilderness without magic would be...   "Now," the chief said, approaching the two ponies. "It is time to decide what to do with you, the disobedient Rainbow Dash."   Zela and Mbelo also approached, stopping when they flanked the chief at both sides. They both wore mischievous smiles.   Rainbow Dash swallowed hard. Her eyes were wide with fear as she tried to look away from the zebras. Instead, her head was caught by the chief's powerful hoof and pulled back, forcing her to face her masters.   "It seems to me," the chief began, his calm demeanor now completely returned, "there is only one appropriate trial. Rainbow Dash, you have told me that you don't like penises. You think they are disgusting and prefer mares... Is that true?"   Rainbow Dash said nothing.   The chief seemed unfazed by her silence: "Anyhow, that's what you told me. Yet, I cannot help but not believe you. After all, you absolutely begged for my cock while I was fucking you. And you had an incredible orgasm. Do you remember, Rainbow Dash? Do you remember how good it felt?"   The chief brought his face down close to Rainbow's, his snout touching her nose lightly. He took a pause to release a hot breath that made her wince. This reaction seemed to satisfy him.   "Now, I suppose it is fair to allow you to demonstrate what you said. So I will give you a challenge: If you truly like mares over stallions, then I'm sure it will be no trouble for you to get your friend to cum before you do while being fucked by a zebra cock, correct?"   Twilight immediately turned to look at Rainbow Dash, whose eyes turned to do the same. Their eyes met. Fear played on Dash's face, and Twilight was sure she was wearing a similar expression herself.   It was so wrong, so perverted... They were good friends for Celestia's sake!   Were friends, said a cynical voice in Twilight's head. She pushed the thought aside, the whole situation being too painful to deal with in its entirety.   "If you lose the challenge," the chief explained further, "And you do not make Twilight Sparkle cum before you do, you will both receive a very special punishment. Did you know that some ponies like to be fucked in the ass? Maybe you both are that kind of pony. We will get to find out."   "If you win," the chief continued, adding coyly, "And I'm sure that won't happen, but if you do, we will take you to the edge of the forest and set you free. I am quite confident on my bet that you are just a slutty cock-loving pony, Rainbow Dash, no matter how tough you talk."     Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash had just been issued an ultimatum: Dash would either make Twilight cum before she did, and they would be set free. If she couldn't, both ponies would be severely punished. Twilight felt sick. Rainbow Dash looked sick. The two ponies couldn't even bear to look at one another in disgusted anticipation for what was to come.   Meanwhile, the zebras stood by watching with glee. Mbelo and Zela both looked at each other with a sly smile, and chuckled amongst themselves as one said something in the zebra language. Twilight was glad that she couldn't understand, because whatever they said would have probably made her feel even more sick to her stomach than she already felt.   With a wave of his hoof, the chief signaled one of the zebras - Twilight couldn't tell which because it happened so fast - to hold her down. The other zebra came over and spread her legs wide apart with powerful hooves. She blushed as the vulnerable position made her squirm. She instinctively wanted to fight back, but she was so exhausted, sleepy, and defeated at this point she didn't even begin to try.   The chief zebra removed his hoof from Rainbow's head and flipped her roughly onto her side. He moved himself into position behind her, planting a forehoof firmly on either side of her body and splaying his back legs back so he was perfectly positioned to penetrate her.   He leaned down and gave Dash a rough kiss on the chick, probably meant to embarrass her more than anything, before whispering, "I'll give you a little head start. You'd better hurry up and get to work."   Twilight leaned over her chest and looked at Rainbow Dash. Dash's eyes large ruby eyes were fixed on the sight of Twilight's privates. She was staring so intently, in fact, that Twilight began to feel herself blush even harder.   "Dash..." Twilight squeaked out fearfully. She wanted to say something, but she wasn't sure what.   "Twilight," came the hesitant reply from between her legs, "I'm sorry about this, but if you ever needed to get really horny, this would be the time..." Dash laughed nervously.   Twilight realized the odd reality of what was about to happen: Their freedom, their entire lives, even, all was about to depend on whether she could cum or not. Of all the incredible situations-   Twilight's train of thought was immediately interrupted as Rainbow Dash took a first nervous lick. She ran her tongue carefully along Twilight's pussy lips, from bottom to top. Her tongue felt warm and sensuous, if not a bit strange at first.   Rainbow repeated this process a few more times, licking lightly up and down. Slowly, she began to gain some confidence, and she licked a bit faster, her tongue flicking up and down along the edges of Twilight's lips, teasing the intimate flesh into arousal.   It felt good to be sure, but it was never going to get Twilight off. It was obvious Dash had no experience in this, no matter what her orientation might be. She grunted and reached a hoof around to push Rainbow's head in farther and perhaps encourage her to go faster and deeper. Feeling her hoof running through that bright rainbow mane, its colors now drastically altered in the fire light, Twilight realized how tragic this situation was. Never would the two ponies have thought of each other in a sexual way, but now they were forced simply to accept this intimate and lewd act without question.   As Twilight considered this sadly, Rainbow Dash seemed to get the message. Her tongue dove inside now, past the initial folds of flesh, driven deep into Twilight's pussy.   The sudden sensation made Twilight gasp as a small electrical surge of pleasure was produced. The pleasure began to mount as Rainbow ran her tongue up and down inside Twilight's pussy, pressing it against her walls and teasing her insides with its exquisite warm wetness.   Rainbow Dash paused for a minute to look up, her lips wet with Twilight's juices, and ask, "Is it working Twilight? Am I doing-   Rainbow Dash's word were cut off suddenly and replaced with a painful squeal.   The chief had taken that moment to finally press his massive cock into her exposed pussy. He slid himself into her slowly but steadily, the sensation overwhelming a helpless Rainbow Dash.   Dash tried to say something, but it only came out as a broken moan, accented by another squeal of unwanted pleasure as the chief's cock finally made it to the hilt. It was there that he stopped, allowing her pussy to expand to fit his wide girth.   "You were quite wet already, Rainbow Dash!" The chief shouted cheerfully. "Perhaps you really like doing this to mares after all? You may still have a chance to win..." The chief's patronizing demeanor made it obvious that he no more expected her to win than he expected the sky to fall.   "C'mon Rainbow! Keep going!" Twilight shouted encouragingly. "Just try and ignore it!"   "I... aah... I don't want to... aah... do this to you Twilight..." Rainbow managed to get out in between panted breaths.   "Don't think about me!" Twilight responded desperately. "You have to keep going!"   "But you're my-   Rainbow gasped as the chief began pulling back out.   "You're my friend..." she finished, but not without difficulty.   Twilight's eyes went wide. She forgave her... Was she even that mad in the first place? Twilight had surely been overreacting... but at least... Oh thank Celestia! Rainbow isn't mad at me! Twilight thought.  She felt silly for getting so worked up in the first place. Tears now graced her cheeks once more, but in happiness rather than sadness or exhaustion. No matter what happened, at least she could weather it with her friend...   Perhaps Rainbow Dash sensed a change in Twilight's demeanor, because she suddenly drew on some reserve of willpower to redouble her efforts. She used her forehooves to spread Twilight's pussy apart and went to work on her friend's tender inner pink flesh with vigor. She lashed her tongue along the sides of Twilight's flower, writhing along its walls and tenderly pressing against its outer petals.   Twilight couldn't believe how quickly Rainbow had turned things around... She felt herself getting even wetter now. Deep waves of hot pleasure radiated from between her legs, accentuated with every twist and touch of Dash's tongue.   Dash let out a deep, heady moan into Twilight's pussy as the chief bucked into her. This time, however, she didn't stop. She pushed onward and flicked her tongue along even faster. She leaned forward and pressed her tongue deep into Twilight's little hole, pressing softly at the sides and causing Twilight to let out a moan of pleasure.   It was so gentle compared to the zebras, Twilight thought. Maybe she could really, truly enjoy this. Maybe she could convince Rainbow Dash to do this to her again sometime...   The chief must have been frustrated at Dash's success, because he grunted and picked up the pace. Twilight couldn't see fully, but it was obvious he was penetrating Rainbow Dash as fully as he could go; his length pumped in deeply, then slid out with a squelching sound to before the tip. Quickly after it would disappear again back inside her. Every deep thrust came with accompanied with the slapping sound of the chiefs muscular hips on Rainbow's tight ass, and her resulting squeals of pleasure. His girth was incredible; Twilight couldn't imagine how Rainbow was fitting it all.   Not to be outdone, Rainbow leaned further into Twilight's privates, placing her entire mouth squarely over her pussy and swirling her tongue around, putting a deep pressure on all of the Twilight's most intimate spots. To Twilight, this was less like brief electrical shocks of pleasure and more like deep, long waves of hot ecstasy writhing up through her body.   Twilight found she was moaning loudly with every round of that tongue. Her hips were tensing up and bucking into Rainbow's face every time one of those waves of pleasure hit. She realized that she was quite close to climaxing.   Unfortunately, the same seemed to be true for Rainbow Dash. The rhythmic slapping noises were becoming much faster, and with them, Dash seemed to be losing focus. Her wings were now rising to attention at her sides, her legs shook, and the movements of her tongue became more erratic.   "Twilight, are you close?" Rainbow moaned. "I can't hold it much longer..."   "What? NO!" Twilight shouted fearfully. She was getting close, but not close enough. "Rainbow, press on the clit! The little nub at-   Twilight's world exploded into stars when Rainbow complied and pressed her tongue hard down onto that little nub. The sudden burst of pleasure was so intense that Twilight realized her eyes must have rolled back into her head. Goosebumps covered her body and her hindquarters shook in intense ecstasy. If this kept going, she would definitely cum soon...   "Please Twilight!" Rainbow shouted those muffled words as she worked her tongue across Twilight's clit, "Please you... aah! You have to cum...!"   The slapping behind Rainbow Dash quickened even further. Amid the intense pleasure, fear suddenly crept into Twilight's mind. She had to cum first... their freedom was depending on it. It was so close, down to the wire. She had to make sure she came. If she didn't.... there was a whole terrible world of punishment waiting...   "Twilight please!" Rainbow shouted.   "Wha...? Dash, please hold on! C'mon, Dash, please! I'm almost there!"   Twilight frantically tried to picture anything she could that would make her more aroused. Incredibly, she found that the only images that came to her mind were those of Rainbow Dash being fucked by the zebras beside her...   "I'm... aah! I'm so... I'm so sorry Twilight!" Dash screamed.   Twilight moaned in frustration as Dash's head flew away from her pussy and arced backward. Her entire body tensed and her voice cracked as she shouted in pleasure. Her rainbow mane quivered as her orgasming body shook violently, her hips bucking onto the zebra chief's cock. Her wings flared outward, fully erect. Her tongue lolled out of her wide open mouth, accompanied by a series of short, deep moans.   Twilight would have been totally horrified by this outcome if it hadn't been for the fact that her pussy was no longer receiving any attention. She had been right on the edge. It had been so close! Her pussy now ached and throbbed as it begged for Dash's tongue to come back and satisfy it.   Unfortunately for her, Dash's mind was no longer anywhere close to thinking about satisfying Twilight. She was just now coming down off an intense orgasm and regaining her bearings. She was confused when her head was grabbed by Twilight's hooves and pushed eagerly into her pussy.   "Woah... huh? What?" Rainbow Dash muttered, trying to figure out what Twilight wanted.   "C'mon Rainbow! For Celestia's sake, just finish it!" Twilight shouted.   Rainbow Dash's eyes went wide. "Finish...?" She mumbled. "Oh no, that means we lost! Oh god, we lost...!" Rainbow Dash sunk her head to the ground and just lay there, face down, while the chief pulled his cock out of her in one long, smooth motion. Her entire body shuddered with the sensation.   Meanwhile, Twilight was becoming ever more frustrated as the intense peak of pleasure that she had felt was now ebbing away.   "Rainbow..."she moaned. "What happened to ten seconds flat...?"   Twilight didn't really mean to direct this comment to Rainbow Dash, but as soon as she said it Dash looked up at her, blushing.   "You're blaming me!?" She shouted incredulously, her voice cracking.   Twilight hadn't thought about what she said: "No, I didn't mean-   "If anything, it's your fault!" Rainbow shot at her.   "My fault!?" Now it was Twilight's turn to sound incredulous.   "Yeah!" Dash shouted. "You said yourself how important this was! And you couldn't get worked up enough to save us? You're always such a perfectionist, Twilight, but when it matters..."   "I can't believe you would blame me, Rainbow!" Twilight's desperation and anger was mounting. They were about to be punished now, and she was afraid. She didn't know what else to do but take out her frustration. "It's your fault and you know it! You're the one who was done in practically ten seconds flat!"   With this, Twilight sat up abruptly from her position on the ground to point an accusing hoof at Rainbow. This action made both the ponies realize what a strange position they had been having a conversation in: Twilight was shouting at Rainbow Dash, who was shouting back from her position directly between Twilight's legs. Both ponies blushed and quickly scooted backward. This brief moment seemed to have diffused all of the tension of their conversation; all that followed were a few extended moments of awkward silence.   Twilight hadn't realized it at first, but she was only able to sit up because the zebras had withdrawn back to their places at the campfire. She turned to look at them and saw Zela, Mbelo, and the chief zebra all smiling widely and chuckling.   "Now ponies," the chief said, "We don't want to have you bleed all over the place, so we'll need something to help your punishment along."   Twilight and Rainbow Dash shared a mutual gulp of fear.   "Please be good ponies and behave while we go down to the river to get some water."   With that the trio turned and left down the hill, soon leaving the dome of light cast by the torches and fire and disappearing into the darkness.   Gozama was left behind, sitting in the same spot alone by the fire. His face was pointed at the ground, perhaps asleep.   "Twilight..." Rainbow Dash spoke, her voice now even more scratchy than before due to her shouting. "This is gonna be bad isn't, it?" There was no doubt that she was deeply afraid now.   A massive lump had formed in Twilight's throat. The comparative silence of the campsite amplified her nervousness.   "Rainbow... it's going to be like this every day from now on... Unless we can get away, we're going to have this done to us over and over and-   "Twilight, stop!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Don't talk about that... we have to take it one thing at a time, right?"   "It doesn't matter." Twilight said. "This..." She sniffed. She felt herself once again on the edge of tears. "We're going to just have to get used to this..."   "You know, I'm sorry about this." A voice made both the ponies jump. It was Gozama.   Gozama was now starting at both of them. But he didn't wear a creepy smile or a smirk of faux-compassion. He seemed genuinely sad. Twilight was incredulous. She went to speak but was interrupted by Rainbow Dash.   "You stay out of this!" She yelled, jabbing a hoof in his direction. "If you were sorry you wouldn't have given us..." She hesitated. "Well, you wouldn't have given us whatever that stuff was in our water!"   "If I did not do it, they would have beat me," he said simply. "And I gave it to you to help you."   "Excuse me," Twilight now pried her way into the conversation. "But how can you say you were helping us by giving us drugs!?"   Rainbow nodded rapidly in agreement.   "I told you," he replied, "I love the ponies. I don't want you to be in pain, but chief Alzemo would never let me. So I tried it first on you, purple pony, secretly. When I saw it worked, I gave you more, and gave it to your friend as well. Your friend is a very beautiful pony..."   Twilight found that last particular sentence more than a little creepy, but she pushed it out of her mind to address the more pressing issue at hand:   "Gozama, what exactly did you give us?" She asked.   "Nopony has ever remembered my name before..." Gozama cocked his head to the side and smiled. He seemed genuinely surprised and thankful. "I gave you the drowsy potion, like normal. But I added powder made from Ruby Rose petals. It has a very powerful effect on ponies, it makes them-   "Highly subject to sexual arousal..." Twilight finished, quoting a line from her Supernaturals book on herbs. Her eyes went wide with realization.   "I was going to say ?very horny,'", Gozama chuckled, "But I guess that is also a good way to say it."   Rainbow Dash pondered this for a moment, and then her eyes went wide with her own revelation: "You mean we lost because of you!" she shouted angrily.   "I am sorry to say that is not true, rainbow pony. The dose I gave you would only have lasted an hour or two. It has certainly worn down by now." Gozama explained.   Rainbow wanted to object and yell at him, to insult him and curse at him for drugging them and making her think she was a slut. Twilight wanted  more of an explanation. She wanted to know how and why. Gozama prevented both ponies' attempts at pursuing these by cutting them off with a loud "Hush!"   "Listen," he urged, "we do not have much time before the zebras get back. I wanted to help you by making you feel good.  I did not want the ponies to be hurt. I thought that maybe if I helped you enjoy it, your time would not so difficult."   Both ponies had about a thousand objections to this line of reasoning, but Gozama silenced them with a raised hoof.   "Listen!" he hissed. "I am giving you an offer. With a large dose of Ruby Rose essence, I can make you both love the zebra sex forever. You enjoyed the sex under the potion, and this will make you feel like that all the time, only amplified a hundred times! What do you think?"   "Are you kidding?" Twilight rebuffed. "There's no way-   "It would be... permanent?" Rainbow Dash asked, her voice muted and quivering.   "Rainbow!" Twilight couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Whatever that stuff is, it has to cause some kind of brain damage or something! It's dangerous, and there's no way I'm going to turn into some kind of mindless, sex-crazed mare. Listen to reason!"   "No, Twilight, you listen to reason!" Rainbow Dash was dead serious, as she looked Twilight straight in the eyes. "There's no hope! There's no way we're getting out of here, and even if we did, after how long? There could be a hundred ponies looking for us right now and they'd never find us in this huge forest. Not the entire royal guard could search the whole forest. Do you really want to keep doing this for weeks? Months? The rest of our lives, even? We're already at each other's throats and we can barely keep it together as it is! I say..." She hesitated, then finished with resolve. "I say we have no better option."   "Rainbow..." Twilight didn't know what to think. She had to admit it was a very convincing argument...   "It would be much better to enjoy it than to live your lives in pain, wouldn't it, ponies?" Gozama piped up, trying to help them along. "It would be only for your own good. But hurry and choose, they could be coming back any second!"   Twilight turned to face Rainbow Dash. She was slowly nodding her head.   At her wit's end, all the hopelessness and sadness crept up on Twilight at once. Almost without realizing what she was doing, she simply nodded along with Rainbow Dash.   Gozama hurriedly reached into a nearby pack and pulled out a small wooden box and slid the top off with a hoof. He trotted over to the pair and revealed its contents: a dark purple paste, which he offered to the two ponies by placing it on the ground in front of them.   "It must be in its purest form, and the pony must take it willingly for its powerful magic to work," he explained. "So just dip a hoof in and eat it up," he said, before urging them: "Please do it quickly!"   Both ponies complied, each raising up a hooffull of the strange paste.   Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash, and Rainbow Dash looked back, her eyes sad and painful.   "Twilight, it's for the best..." Dash said sadly.   "I guess you're right Rainbow..." Twilight felt like her life was ending right here.   Both ponies raised the paste to their mouths in unison and did just as Gozama said, eating down every last bit.   Twilight immediately realized the effects were taking hold as the edges of her vision began to creep in. She began to develop a strange form of tunnel vision. Her legs felt weak, her entire body was incredibly hot despite the coldness of the night. She felt her heart beating faster and harder. This reaction at first made her feel afraid, putting her at the edge of panic. She barely had a moment to regret her decision in every way possible before a wave of complacency washed over her, like she was being wrapped in a warm, fuzzy blanket. Nothing was really wrong after all... In fact, she felt great. She was at peace. Why wouldn't she be, after all?   Suddenly, a zebra shouted in surprise.   Who was that again? The lanky one with the limp... That was... Twilight couldn't remember. He was Smallzebra. That's what she would call him. She giggled at the thought. Smaller in a lot of ways... The picture of big, succulent cock edged its way into her mind. She immediately felt a sensation of wetness forming between her legs.   After turning to see what the commotion was about, Twilight saw that a cloaked figure had emerged into halo of light surrounding the campsite. That must have been what startled the small zebra.   The newcomer threw the cloak off and, despite Twilight's hazy vision, she recognized the figure as a zebra. Perfect! She had just been wanting a zebra cock... Which zebra wore those rings on his neck again?   Twilight was suddenly shocked when this zebra leapt forward and to the campfire and the lanky zebra, who had been scrambling to his feet, across the camp and into the darkness. There was the sound of him tumbling through the rough foliage for a moment, then silence. It was then that three zebras emerged from the other side of the clearing. Who were these zebras? Of course, Bigzebra, and Mediumzebra. Twilight giggled again. There were two Mediumzebras! How silly.   The zebra that had been wearing the cloak shouted at the trio on the opposite side of the campsite in the zebra language. It turns out that this "he" was a "she". A female zebra! Twilight wouldn't mind trying it out with a mare sometime... That would be so dirty!   The trio's number increased by one as Gozama - oh, that was his name, Gozama! - reentered the clearing. They all shouted back at the zebra mare in their language. It sounded like they were being really mean to one another.   Twilight could barely believe her eyes when four brightly colored ponies emerged into the clearing behind the female zebra! Where were all these ponies coming from?   A pink-maned pegasus fluttered over to where Twilight was sitting. Twilight's blurry vision was barely able to track her movement, so she was surprised to see her suddenly land in front of her.   "Oh, Twilight! Thank goodness!" The pegasus said. Her voice was so timid and adorable. Her wings too... Her wings were so cute.   "Wow you're a really cute pony..." Twilight mumbled out. She stumbled into the cream-colored pegasus and wrapped a hoof around her, reaching to pet her wings.   "Oh my!" The pegasus gasped. "W-what are you doing, Twilight? Girls!" The pegasus addressed the other ponies and one zebra. "Something's really wrong here!"   Now another pony dashed over, addressing Twilight and somebody called "Rainbow". Twilight turned and was surprised to notice yet another pony sitting next to her... Oh, right! That was Rainbow Dash. She remembered when Rainbow Dash was eating her out, her tongue running along the insides of her pussy... The thought of it made her so horny. She absentmindedly reached a hoof down between her legs and started to rub herself off.   "Land sake's, girl! What're you doing!?" This new pony was orange and had a cowboy hat on. As she trotted over and pulled the stake holding Dash's collar in place out of the ground, Twilight noticed how tight and muscular her flank was.   Rainbow Dash noticed it too, apparently. She was now laying back and spreading her legs, drunkenly moaning out, "Hey Applejack! Do you like what you see?"   The pony Applejack winced and turned away from Rainbow Dash, instead looking at the zebras.   "What in tarnation have y'all done to them, you rotten, no good, two-faced-   "Ahem!" Bigzebra stepped forward. "We just did to them what they wanted. You saw to that, didn't you Gozama?"   Gozama nodded happily.   "Very good. We'll let you use the ponies tonight as a reward." Bigzebra said.   Gozama seemed very pleased with himself. Twilight somehow felt she should be upset about this, but she wasn't sure why.   "You see?" Bigzebra said, now addressing Twilight and Rainbow Dash. "I told you that the ponies all came around in the end, did I not? No matter how it's done, it happens every time."   "You're just a bunch of... a bunch of... disgusting mules!" A purple-maned pony shouted. "Zecora," she shouted to the female zebra. "They are most certainly under some kind of spell or potion or something! Will you be able to reverse it?"   The zebra Zecora nodded her head slowly, unsure of herself. "It is quite possible," she said hopefully, "As long as we can get them back to my hut."   "Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash!" The big zebra again. "Do you really want to go away? Do you really want to leave us zebras forever?"   Forever? Twilight remembered the incredible sensation of the zebra's dicks penetrating her. She was already aroused, but this put her over the edge. She couldn't imagine not ever being fucked by the zebras again. Automatically, she shook her head no. Rainbow Dash did the same.   A pink pony with a fluffy, frizzy mane bounded over to them now, joining Applejack and the cute cream-colored pegasus.   "But, Twilight!" The pony's eyes were wide and she looked like she was about to cry. She was talking very fast. "Twilight, Zecora came to us after you left and told us what must have happened and that the note was a fake and that we had to rescue you so we told the princess and she told us to get Zecora to help find you and she didn't want to at first but then we convinced her and so we've been following her while she helped track you down and then there was this creepy place with the spiders and that was totally gross but then we saw the fire on the hill and we came up here and now here you are and it's totally not fair that you made us come, like, a million miles if you're not going to come back with us!"   Okay, this pony was talking way too fast. Twilight barely caught a word. Instead, she just zoned out and daydreamed about what it would be like when the zebras finally fucked her in the ass. Would it feel better, or worse than when they were fucking her in her other hole, she wondered?   After a huge breath of air, the pink pony finished whatever she was talking about by saying: "So pretty please, Twilight! You have to remember us, we're your friends!"   "Friends...?"   A torrent of memories came flooding back as she remembered the power of friendship... Her friends. These were her friends here, weren't they? She felt so silly for forgetting them.   "Wow, I'm so sorry girls! I don't know why I didn't recognize you!" Twilight shouted with glee.   "Oh yeah..." Rainbow Dash mumbled, before bursting into laughter: "Oh, right! I remember now! Hi Applejack! Hi Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity! How are you guys doing?"   The zebras were absolutely livid. Gozama's face looked fearful.   "Twilight, thank goodness you remember us!" Fluttershy shouted, rushing forward to embrace Twilight in a hug, which Twilight casually shrugged off.   "So, girls," Twilight stated matter-of-factly, "Are you gonna stick around with us and the zebras tonight?"   Twilight's friends' faces fell immediately. The zebras, however, breathed a sigh of relief. A zebra Twilight now remembered was called Zela cackled wildly.   Rainbow Dash stood up and trotted happily over to Gozama, rubbing alongside him and giving him a sensuous look. "We were gonna try anal tonight," she said with a smile.   Gozama looked absolutely flattered. He blushed and put a hoof around Rainbow Dash.   "I've heard just about enough of this!" Applejack shouted angrily. "C'mon Twi, we're taking you back and getting you fixed up."   Applejack bucked the stake cleanly out of the ground, and the lead snapped along with it. She walked up to Twilight and slipped a hoof through her collar and began to drag her away.   This sent Twilight into full panic mode, calling Applejack every single bad name in her vast vocabulary. Her friends couldn't do this to her! She wanted to stay here, she was happy here! She never needed to be anywhere else. She struggled wildly against Applejack's grip, quickly managing to slip away. She clumsily dashed over to join Rainbow next to the zebras, hiding behind their muscular bodies.   "How could you, their best friends, try and make Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash so unhappy?" The chief said in a mock pouting tone. "I cannot believe how rude and inconsiderate your friends are, Twilight Sparkle. You must find some new ones."   Twilight wasn't really listening to what he was saying, but she simply nodded anyway.   "Now go! Leave us in peace. The ponies are where they wish to be. If they decide they want to leave some day, we will allow them to come back to you. Right now, you would just be torturing the poor girls." The chief finished as if he had been giving them a lecture for naughty behavior.   As Twilight looked past the zebras and out into the crowd of her friends, she saw tears were streaming down each of their faces. Fluttershy looked on, afraid, Applejack looked defiant, but beaten, Rarity looked disheveled, Pinkie Pie looked deflated, and Zecora simply stared at the ground unsure of what to do. Twilight just couldn't understand why they would be sad at all. They should be happy for her. She knew that she didn't have a single care in the world. So long as she was with the zebras, things would turn out just fine.
