Arcane yawns as he rolls over in his bed, finally getting some proper sleep after a long week of just fucking around with two certain mares. His cock, still hard from the night's rest, flops over and smacks against the bedside, which makes him groan, slightly annoyed. 'At least they can't complain that I don't get any,' the alicorn thinks to himself while sitting up and getting out of bed. After a slight misstep with one of his hooves getting caught in the sheets and dragging half of them off the bed, he reaches the bathroom and proceeds to wash up.
Arcane yawns again as he exits the bathroom and his little side bedroom before entering the office area. He steps around the robed figure standing in front of the shelves, organized according to style number three hundred and sixteen. Arcane shakes his head of some sleepiness, or tries to, as he looks at his terminal and sees leftover messages and a document that has the list of websites he asked Ashley to find. Some sound tame, but others are sounding raunchy by their website names alone. The blacked furred claws block some of the top ones, which he can guess are zebra related by the zebra terms in them. Still, the rest he can see are from other species back home and even across the galaxy, such as scalelovers, featherwhores, preenhub, caninepets, sluttyfelines, feralpetplay, anthromasters, and others.
Arcane chuckles at some prominent names before yawning again and pulling his head back from the screen to stretch. "Monifa can knock a guy out," he mutters, smacking his lips. "And morning scary skull creature," he says without thinking as he walks out from behind his desk and past the robed figure with a bleach white skull face and a furred head, almost like that of a dog or wolf. Long sharp black hair falls around its head like a messy veil, with most of it going down behind its head. He keeps walking over to the locker where he stores his clothing and weaponry before stopping dead cold and turns back around, seeing what is standing in his room.
Arcane blinks very slowly as he lets his eyes trail slowly upwards from the long old monk-style robes that reach the ground and cover every part he can see, the hands and head mostly being the only areas uncovered. An old piece of rope is tied around the waist, holding the robes together while the skull head with piercing white empty eyes stare back at him, almost studying him. Arcane slowly tilts his head, and the creature follows his movements, mirroring the alicorn's. Arcane hums before slowly stepping around the room with the head following his actions. And even though Arcane can't see any pupils in those empty eyes, he can tell that it looks and follows him every bit of the way without keeping its head pointed straight at him. 'And I guess I reached the final stage. Then again, according to the document, dad did say others went mad because of being stalked by this thing. But then again…we have enough weird shit back on the planet,' Arcane thinks before sighing and is about to ask something before wondering if this thing does speak.
Sitting on his haunches, Arcane takes a thinking pose and looks over the creature before thinking fuck it. You might as well jump and see what happens. "Can you understand me?" he asks and gets a nod in return. 'Okay. Good for basic understanding and speech. But it doesn't seem like it can talk back,' Arcane jots down in his mind. "Are you going to follow me around or stay here?" This question is crucial because they would be reaching the planet and landing soon by Arcane's count. He would have to know if this thing would follow him around the entire time. Though, another nod meets his question. Arcane blinks before the creature points at him with a furred finger and claw. The hands are looking very animalistic, in what Arcane can best describe in his mind. 'Shoot…guess I have to figure this out on the fly.'
The alicorn takes a deep breath before using his magic and floats over his gear and supplies to himself. "Try not to scare others," he remarks before grabbing the suit and starting to dress up. The creature follows his every movement and stretching limb as the outfit settles on his muscled body. Arcane takes some notice of that fact but ultimately ignores it in favor of thinking it is learning on the go since he got that stupid message somehow. Which, in all this time, he still has no idea how the fuck that happened. And it wasn't Tek as he would be studying this creature and everything about it, not letting it go for the sake of placing his name on the research piece…and genuine curiosity. However, at this time, he can't worry about that. He has a mission to do, and he has to wake up the probably busy fuckers up from their fuck induced sleep.
Arcane steps out into the hallway, the creature following close behind with hardly a sound. Arcane perks his ears toward the creature as he tries to figure out the body style just from the sound alone, but with nothing coming from it, he can't even try to guess anything unless it drops that robe. Which Arcane also doubts would happen. After a few seconds, he reaches Monifa's door and opens it up, stepping inside with the creature right behind his flank. "Monifa…Trond? You up?" he calls, looking into the bedroom for those two, but what he finds them in makes him stop cold.
Monifa is naked with a black leather choker, her forelegs are bound, and she hangs from the ceiling right where Trond sits at the edge of the bed. The chains from her forelegs goes through a loop at the ceiling and down to him. He has it gripped with one hand, letting her body bounce up and down on his shaft, with her asshole skewered. Her teats have painful-looking clamps on them, and there is a purple spiky vibrator whirring in her cunt violently. Indeed not the most pleasant toy. And then his free hand is also wrapped around her neck, choking her and making her gag, albeit the sound is not heard that well with the bit gag in her mouth.
"Guys…?" Arcane asks, trying to get into their view. "Um…might want to finish up. We do have a mission soon today." He just can't take his eyes off the brutality of such a broken state of a mare, especially when she is strung up and used as a poor fuck toy just waiting for any male to take her. Though, that doesn't seem to bother the caribou, who set this up for the mare just to get his morning rocks off.
…For that matter, Arcane is pretty sure, neither did Monifa. While she is cute, she is a somewhat masochistic mare deep inside. Her kink list is clear evidence of that. Not to mention her interest in the things Kondo did with Ashley.
Trond grunts each time he pulls the mare down to the base of his cock. His eyes watching the mare suffer before looking up to his captain. "Almost done. She has been like this for a couple of hours," he grunts, feeling his balls starting to throb to breed this mare.
Arcane's ears flop down beside his head, almost trying to give a friendly offer. "Do please hurry. And she hasn't been up the entire night, has she?" he asks, almost afraid of the answer from the prominent dominant partner in this relationship.
Monifa squeaks out something, possibly to answer herself when she hears her favorite captain talk, before groaning with heavy grunts between each pull of her body onto the cum covered cock invading her hole. This doesn't leave her with a lot of options to even try to get a word in.
Trond grunts as he yanks the mare down by her stubby tail and huffs as they hear an audible churning and splatter into the mare. A deep-seated groan escapes the zebra as her body becomes limp with some twitches at times from the painful-looking toy still buzzing in her. "She slept while like this. Not to worry if you intend to bring her along," he answers before pushing the mare off and gets off the bed, leaving Monifa hanging and dripping in the air. "I will go and wash up to prepare," the caribou informs as he walks past the alicorn and strange being that gives him an uneasiness but decides not to question it. If the captain isn't responding to it or already has and is merely going to deal with it later, then no need for him to respond in kind. So he goes to the bathroom to wash up while leaving Arcane with the used mare.
"You okay?" Arcane asks gently as he uses his magic to undo the bit gag in her mouth and take it out.
"Mhmm," she says, taking a moment to recover, "I-I am fine. Got lots of sleep in with a sleep potion…though I might walk a bit funny," she tells him as she pulls out the vibrator with a moan. "Um…I hope this is okay for you, though. I mean, Trond is using me rather roughly, and I don't want you to feel left out o-or that I don't love our relationship…Still not sure how a normal one looks like."
The zebra mare fidgets a bit, giving a sheepish smile up at the alicorn male.
Arcane gives a soft smile back, using his magic to untie her and put her down onto the bed. "Nah. It's okay. It's your life after all," he quotes off before hearing the shower run. "Guess not a good idea to shower as well with him. But hey, at least you have a bed buddy in case I am not around," he jokes with a smile and a slight shrug.
She smiles back, nodding. "Y-Yes. Of course, if you ever want to use me, you can do so. W-Well, of course, as well as other things. I mean, you want to do other things as well, and I need to hold back not to indulge in my desires too much if I want to be a proper marefriend."
Arcane chuckles. "Yeah," he says wistfully before seeing her eyes look past and behind him. "Oh yeah…try not to stare too much. It looks like we got another crewmate…for free," he informs, stepping aside to let Monifa see the strange skull-headed creature who seems to stare at the mare with a studying gaze.
Monifa is a bit nervous and curious, her gaze traveling over the robes as she stood up and walked a bit closer. "So…is it female? She, or it, looks sexy."
Arcane sweat drops as his ears flop down with a smile. "Well…not sure. And I am not going to go around and strip everyone or thing to see what their gender is. I guess when it's ready, it will tell…in some way," he says to the side as he can guess a few ways this creature can tell the gender. One of the obvious ways is to strip out of the robes.
"T-That makes sense. Not that I would be mad or anything if you stripped her…if it is a her. Um…can I call you a her? And if you are a her, I don't mind if you, you know…l-like Arcane. I do like the way you look too. N-Not that I am a creep or anything! I am just a pervert! Wait…" she says, as she blushes at her ridiculous choice of words, her head turning a bit away from the creature to avoid eye contact…or whatever counts as eye contact with an empty skull and pupiless eyes.
Arcane smiles at the attempt of friendship, just like his mother taught. If anything, Twilight would be all over this thing studying it from ear to…whatever counts as a hoof for it. But since it seems bound to him, that saves itself from being bombarded by the two hundred question interrogation. Somehow, Arcane doubts this thing would survive even if it is non-living. Can it be counted as living, though? Might that skull be an empty one with no brain and driven by something else around it? Arcane shakes his head from the oncoming questions. Now he is becoming his mother. "Well, treat it like one of ours. I will be showing it around to everypony, so they get used to it."
"Okay…" the zebra mare says, trying to work through her embarrassment and look up at her again. Then she tentatively raises a hoof to touch its hand in the form of greeting. "Sorry for being a bit dumb just now. And nice to meet you," she says, hoping this is the right course of action.
For a moment, she wonders about the being's chest, her eyes intently looking for any possible breast bulge and her hoof twitching inquisitively as if wanting to test if there is something. Of course, Monifa isn't about to grope her. She is not that kind of mare. At least not one that bold, even as her eyes lingered.
The creature looks at the outstretched hoof before reaching out and grabbing it, letting the mare shake the hand happily. "Great. Well, I…we will leave you alone to freshen up. Got a big war contract to deal with, and I need you in top shape for anything," Arcane says, correcting himself as he looks down at the mare.
"Understood. I will be ready for when the time comes. Just give me a call…heh, I always wanted to say that," she says, the last part to herself with a light, excited giggle.
Arcane smiles happily at that remark. "I think we all want to say cool lines at times. Okay, see you, Monifa," he says, leaving with the creature following right behind him. And now that Monifa watches the thing move and walk…or float, she feels a bit unnerved as well as aroused by how it glides over the floor with no sign of movement over the rest of the body, making it really hard to tell what is under those robes.
She really wants to take a look under those robes.
Arcane groans, rubbing a hoof on his head as he walks down the hall to the next room to immediately deal with three other comrades that might be in the same kind of trouble that Monifa and Trond were. He approaches Dadea's room and knocks on it before hearing loud slapping and deep moans and groans. "I thought I placed some soundproof spells on this room," Arcane mutters to himself before using his magic to do just that, slowly encasing the room in a soundproof barrier as he painstakingly etches the spell circles into the walls where none can see. "Now what the heck are they…?" Arcane stops as he enters. The door shuts behind him to see the sight before him. Even the strange creature stares at the three in the room on the bed.
All three were on the bed, with Leon being in his changeling form and laying on his back resting against the pillow. His hooves grip Dadea's buttocks, helping her bounce on his dick with Kondo going for her ass. A perfect sandwich with them getting a prime view of Dadea getting her goods plunged into.
Leon is the first to notice them, blinking as he sees the new creature. "Captain. Do you have a new…crew member? And is it a male or a female?" he ponders out loud as Kondo looks back as well, albeit never stopping his thrusts.
"Hope for female. You can never have enough of those around…wow. That skull is quite something. Though I wonder where you picked her up."
Dadea isn't reacting too much, aside from moaning between the two strong stallions as she indulges in her fetishes.
Arcane sighs, lowering his neck in exasperation. "I…think it's a strange entity from like the extranet. And no. No clue whether it's male or female. And I sure ain't going to lift its old robe for that," he mentions, giving them a tired look before hearing Kondo groan and his balls visibly pumping its thick load into the girl. "So yeah…wanted to show our new crew member since it's going to be staying with us for a long while," he explains, gesturing to the skull-headed creature.
The zebra then raises an eyebrow at the strange being as he got off Dadea, cum-stained dick dangling between his legs. "No idea if it is male or female? Doesn't this one talk?" he wonders before looking it over and then lifted its robes.
"Hey. That's rude. And no," Arcane scolds, looking down at the zebra before trying to give an apologetic smile to the new being. "Sorry about that. He has no clue about boundaries sometimes," he explains, his eyes turning back into a glare as he looks down at the zebra stallion.
Kondo whistles. "You can't blame me. I bet you are curious too. Not that I will spoil it for you," the zebra shrugs casually.
Arcane shakes his head at the zebra while not noticing the stare the creature is giving the alicorn. "So, are you guys done fucking?" he asks, almost very bluntly, while having a blush of his own, as he watches Leon still bounce the alien on his cum stained cock.
He groans out, filling her right up only moments later with Dadea collapsing on him with a retarded smile. "Right about," the changeling says, rolling her off of him and getting up. "We are getting close?"
"Yep. We should be exiting hyperspace soon and land on our planet job. Now listen, this is a war contract. So we are going to be here a while. Since Ashley is pregnant," Arcane starts, turning an eye to Kondo, who grins pervertly. "Ruby and she will be working from the ship on communications, jobs to tell and give us while we are out, and other ship-related things. The rest of us will be going out to do jobs, and I will take the main contract since only one is needed," Arcane explains.
"Understood," Leon says with a nod. "We will prepare for landing."
Nothing more needed to be said as he heads to the shower first, with Kondo nodding in confirmation as well and leaving for his quarters.
Arcane sighs as he looks at Dadea lying on her bed with her leaking ass and cunt up in the air. "So…fun days, huh?" the alicorn tries to start as he can't take his eyes off the flowing thick jizz coming out of the girl.
"Y-Yeah. I might take a few minutes longer than the rest," she slurs out, her eyes turning to Arcane and the new crew member but being too out of it to react to the latter appropriately.
"Right…" Arcane drones out as he sighs. "Just…clean yourself up. And don't be sucking dick to finish off a job. I don't want that kind of details," he explains, clearing his throat to the side. Almost imagining a job Dadea takes involves something other than sucking someone's cock and doing it anyway. Maybe he does have a horny mind right now, even more so with how Dadea is eyeing his clothed body and slightly bulging crotch.
She gives a slow nod, stumbling towards her shower, just like Leon did earlier. Hopefully, they can keep their hands and hooves off each other long enough to keep clean. But by a deep-seated happy moan on her way out, that's hard to say it wouldn't happen.
Arcane sighs and hangs his head before feeling a hand on his back. He perks his head up and looks behind him to see the creature doing what he feels, the furred and clawed hand on his back, almost comfortingly. "Thanks. And sorry, but I wanted to get the sex-hungry ones out of the way first…shoot. Where did Kondo place Ashley?" he asks himself as he takes a quick look around the room.
"Up here."
Arcane slowly turns his gaze upwards and sees the changeling mentioned above hanging from the ceiling by some green sticky ooze, the changeling slime, by her hindlegs as her stomach bulges and even kicks a few times. "Geez, louise. How much did Kondo do?" he asks, but almost demands as he stares at the swinging and hanging stomach while Ashley just swings her upper half around as her lower half stays put.
"Leon helped too. Of course, Kondo still did most of it all. He very much intends on making me a proper breeder. Though it isn't as out of the ordinary as our new crew member. Either someone that will turn out a sex-hungry male or a slut in your presence. I wonder which," she ponders with a slight smile.
"Ashley…" Arcane starts before seeing that smirk on the changeling's face. "You want me to mind rape you again, aren't you?"
"…Possibly," she admits, "I am surprised you haven't after I told Monifa about you taking a spell from me. Maybe I need to tell her what the spell is and that it is indeed meant for her, despite you claiming otherwise~."
Arcane facehooved. "Really? Geez, Ashley. Can you at least try to be nice or…" he stops as Ashley grins. "Fuck…later," he concedes, looking off to the side.
"Fair enough~" she nods back to him after winning the argument. "Mind helping me down so I can do my job?"
Arcane rolls his eyes before reaching up and yanking the changeling off the slime. A sharp cracking noise sounds out as the slime breaks apart and lets the captured being go. "Now then…stop nibbling on my chest," he scolds the lusty changeling and gets a giggle from her. "Get to a shower, clean up…smell nice too and get to Ruby. You two have a lot of work during this next week or so," he orders, putting Ashley down, but keeps eyeing that stomach of hers.
She is about to head off before she notices him staring at her belly. "What? Wanting to impregnate me too now? Or maybe you want…" she says as green flames encompass her and turn her into Monifa with her clothes and all, but also with a huge pregnant belly which she rubs teasingly with her hooves, "…to see your marefriend full with your offspring?"
Arcane's bulge twitches, and Ashley grins as she giggles and shakes her pants-covered flank towards the alicorn when she sees the reaction. "Dammit all," he mutters to the side. "Okay, if I am going to sleep on the ship next time, you are putting on a show for me…in the form of my choosing as well," he orders, poking her stomach lightly so as not to hurt the eggs.
"Understood, Captain. Your orders are absolute. Anyway, don't stay too mad at me. You know, you were asking for it after staring as lustfully as you did~" she gives him a wink, still using this form and shaking her flank as she leaves for her quarters.
Arcane facehooves again. His face is going to have a horseshoe mark if he keeps doing this. "The fucking words out of my mouth," he says to himself. He then sighs and looks apologetically again at the creature beside him. "Sorry about that," he says as he leads it out into the halls with him, walking towards the bunkrooms where the others should be getting ready right now. "I swear they are all not like that," he states before stepping into the bunkroom.
"Morning everypony," Arcane chirps happily, a sudden change in expression and attitude that the creature moves back a step once it sees it happen. "And how are we doing today?" he asks while Nesa walks past him, fully dressed and ready to go.
"Fine and ready. You seem more refreshed than we are," Nesa observes, turning her head towards him to look over his figure. She knows the promising signs for healthy ponies are shiny and lustrous coats, flowing wings, and a straight standing pose. Arcane fits all three at the moment, even though she saw him slouching a little when he walked in.
Arcane smiles happily towards the woman. "It's my first long-term war contract. We are going to make big credits on this," he says with excitement in his voice. Now Nesa can see where that energy comes from. Money, as with anyone.
Jaix hisses, sharpening his blade. "I will search for bounties as soon as I download the sites needed for this planet. Considering the luxury of this system, it would stand to reason we might see many outstanding marks here," he clicks his teeth at. Arcane then notices the visor right beside him hooked up to a small terminal as it seems to be working on something. "Not as of yet. I am waiting till we are in the range of a communication buoy," Jaix explains, pointing the sharpened tip towards the alicorn.
Arcane moves up a hoof and pushes the knife away out of his face by touching the bladed end. "Well, once we land and you are ready, go ahead. This is a planet that would be having a notable amount of somepony hating somepony, so there would be more to choose from," he mentions, almost hopefully.
Jaix hums, giving a low hiss as an addition to it. "I would have to hunt in the slums then. But thank you for the encouragement," he compliments and returns to sharpening his blade.
Arcane hums before looking around the room and sees that even the remaining crewmates in this room have taken over another bed for themselves and their gear. No matter since everypony else is living in other rooms or bunking with each other. But if it gives him more space and beds to put crewmates in, all the better. Until he has to pay, of course.
Arcane sighs and takes one last look around before nodding. At which point, he leaves without a word and walks towards the bridge. The anomaly follows close behind him as he walks into the central viewpoint area. A blur of stars whips by them as they travel through the hyperspace tunnel while Mevea turns her head around her pilot seat and sees her captain approaching. "Hey, captain. We are on approach to Pantora," she announces as the alicorn looks to the second seat to see Ruby sitting in it, tapping away at the floating screens. "Also, I might question you with a skull head monster, but you are ponies. You and your world are always a mystery," Mevea sighs, almost relenting to the fact the entire planet and its species are weird.
"You should see Pinkie Pie on birthdays," Ruby states, and Arcane snarks to the side.
Mevea groans, rolling her eyes. "Don't even start. Let's just land and see what we can get out of this," she scoffs before opening up a radio channel.
Arcane hums as he walks over beside Ruby as Mevea speaks to someone who can let them land. "So what are we expecting down there?" he asks, looking at her screens. His eyes also focus on the planet that comes into view after coming out of hyperspace behind them and seeing the cloudy skies and almost yellowish-green landscape below it. Even the clouds have a slight tint to them.
"Well, for you, wide spaces, clean streets, and fresh smell," Ruby seems to joke and smile up at her captain. "For us, it's down, dirty, and not to expect much but trouble. We will see what we can find," she promises, tapping a hoof against his legs.
"And we are clear for a cleaner landing pad," Mevea speaks up, turning off the radio as she aims towards the capital. "We are lucky we won't get jacked in the dingy areas."
"Or cheated," Arcane shrugs as he wonders the many things they could be price gouged or parts taken away from.
Mevea nods in agreement. "But the others will take a while to get where they need to. I mean, I doubt near the capitol building will have any bounties either," she points out.
Arcane scoffs. "True. It would make things very easy if so. Alright. Get us landing, and let's get to work. I want to make money back for the ride over," he remarks and doesn't see Ruby smirk.
"And the zebra wasn't enough?" Ruby jests and stops Arcane dead cold in his tracks. "Go on, captain. You have jobs to do, and so does your favorite changeling and me," she replies as Ashley rides down the elevator, smiling up at her prince while the alicorn eyes her large stomach.
Mevea chuckles as she notices the alicorn frozen on the way to the elevator. "You guys are a horny bunch of bunnies."
Ruby snarks a little while Ashley snickers behind a hoof. "He's the prince. It was a long ride," Ashley answers while wiggling her wings around as they clear the clouds and split through them, coming upon the large expansive city around their sights. Though, they notice that the surrounding buildings are more lower-level or so close together, it is hard to tell which facilities are what compared to the larger and richer areas where there is the land between every property and lines of walls.
The creature follows Arcane as he travels back up the elevator and to the first level. He tries to take deep breaths to calm himself, but it isn't helping what he just had to deal with and what he might have to do in the future as those three keep talking. The creature stares at the alicorn with a blank visible expression. No lifting hand, no tilt of the head, no swish of the tail, nothing. Just endless staring by the strange being.
"And this is bullshit I have to deal with," Arcane mutters as he steps down the hallway to prepare to disembark.
