Chapter 70: All Or Nothing (Conclusion)

*POOF!*

“Here ye here ye! Thank you one and all for attending our celebration for the Mane Six! The greatest heroes Ponyville has ever known!" The master of ceremonies announced.

I looked to my left and to my right as the audience around me erupted into cheers. There was something strange here though, this was not the World One Performing Arts Center, nor were those in attendance beastials- they were miniature horses- ponies and all of them were looking at the master of ceremonies!

The emcee was brown pony dressed in a carnival barker's uniform standing just to the left of the heroes he called the mane six- who were all female and multicolored ponies- well just two of them were ponies, the remaining four were pegasuses- two of them, a unicorn and the last was both a pegasus and unicorn.

(Since when are ponies multicolored?)

“These brave heroines and good friends have saved us countless times from evil, death, strife and destruction!" The brown pony continued. It on this day that we present them with the highest honor! The medal of gratitude!

As he said that each of the female ponies held their medals high for all in attendance to see. The audience cheered and cheered.

“It is at this time our heroes will entertain any questions from our audience!"

Several hooves raised in the crowd next to me.

“Yes you over there!" The emcee pointed.

“How did you all manage to save us this time?" A pink pony next to me managed to ask.

“I will answer this one girls." An orange mare wearing a distinctive looking hat responded. I also noticed that she had an apple decoration on her flank.

“Well, I reckon it took sheer determination, persistence and the power of our friendship to overcome our latest obstacle!"

“Yes the power of friendship is magical!" The purple unicorn - pegasus female next to her agreed.

“So what are you six going to do next?" A yellow mare in front of me asked the six on the stage.

“Simple! Party! Party! Party! PARTY! Woo hoo!" A pink mare who was standing next to the orange mare said with exploding enthusiasm.

The audience laughed at that response.

“Alright, every pony settle down. I know our heroes have pressing schedules so let's only asking thoughtful probing questions." The emcee said to those in attendance.

I scanned the stage left to right and right to left looking at the mares who were full of smiles. I then raised my hand.

“Yes you sir- you right there!" The emcee said pointing to me.

“Ok you want a thought provoking question, I got one for ALL of you." I said finding my voice.

“Ok, dahling!" The white unicorn with the purple mane said urging me on.

“You six know each other pretty well- right?!"

“Um, very well." The yellow Pegasus. Responded shyly.

“There is very little we don't know about each other!" A light blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane who was standing next to the yellow one chimed in.

“Is that so?!" I asked building up my question.

“It is." The purple unicorn - pegasus responded.

“Really?" I asked again.

“Really." The orange pony responded.

“Ok, okay, okay what is your question?" The blue pegasus asked me.

“Ok. Between the six of you who has the softest pussy?" I asked nearly snickering.

“Dear boy that is an invalid question- I am the only one that owns a feline." The white unicorn with the purple mane responded.

“That is not the type of pussy I was referring to- whose vagina is the softest?" I retorted.

(I bet those six friends didn't know each other that well.)

In an instant I felt a lot of eyes turn my direction as silence fell on the audience- a lot of angry eyes.

(Why did I ask that?)

“You know, we don't even know the answer to that." The purple unicorn - pegasus responded.

“Would you like to know the answer to that question?" I asked with a smirk.

(And why did I ask that?)

The mane six talked about it amongst themselves before smiling and nodding in agreement.

In an instant I was on the stage massaging their backsides, and feeling their colt tunnels while conducting my own independent study to resolve this puzzling, puzzling mystery. I decided to start at the yellow pegasus and make my way on down the line.

“Forgive me if this hurts!" I said. “But inquiry minds want to know!" I gently rubbed her inner and outer lips, her clitorous head and vaginal entrance before cupping the entire area and starting again.

*Beep! Beep! Beep!*

*POOF!*

“Oh? Oh geez, it's morning!" A dragon moaned.

“So soon?!" A bull groaned from within the dragon's embrace.

“Alex? Alex!" A female coyote questioned me as I continued to work my hands in and out of her vaginal entrance.

“So, so soft! Softer than the last- WOW!" I remember mumbling from within my dream state.

“Alex? OAH! What are you doing?!" Lurie moaned.

“Huh? What?" I asked awaking from my weird dream.

As I came to my senses, I realized that during the night while Tauren and Sorren had cuddled, I must have done the same with Lurie and was feeling her up while dreaming.

“Oh my gosh Lurie!" I stammered. “I am so sorry."

(Judging by how she felt down THERE- then again maybe not.)

“Hmm...." The she beast grumbled as I turned beet red.

“Can't you see love, he is missing his master?" Sorren chimed in.

“Most likely dreaming about her in his sleep and using you as a stand in. It has been several days after all love." Tauren added.

“Besides given the way in which we sleep, it was bound to happen anyway Lurie." Sorren tacked on.

“If Alex had done that to Sorren or myself, I wouldn't have given it a second thought sweetie. You shouldn't either- no double standards." Tauren added.

“Umm hmm." The she beast grumbled as she processed what her lovers had just told her. At some point she must have realized they were right. Lurie then turned to me and asked-

“So tell me Alex, who's is better mine or Ursa's?"

“Well, I um, err you see...." I started to back pedal. There was no way to answer this one without getting into big trouble.

Day 233 (morning)

Unlike previous mornings where the trio normally had wake up sex- they were quiet and splayed on each other most likely too tired or sore to move. Probably because morning had come too soon- which it did for those who were out dancing their rumps off all evening and who didn't get home until after midnight.

“I can't believe it is morning already?" Sorren moaned.

“Looks like it love." The bull on his chest interjected.

“Um, Lurie time to get up." I said petting the perturbed coyote on my chest. “That is unless all of you took the day off.

“Unfortunately not." She replied yawning, “Just like you have your schooling this morning."

“Oh my gosh! I didn't do my homework!" The professor is going to kill me!" I exclaimed.

“I think we all better get up and get moving." Tauren said stretching. “Although I could use another couple hours."

“I think we all could have." I said still petting the 'yote girl.

The first item of the morning was to shower. The trio and myself immediately went to bed upon our arrival back at the castle. So there was much to wash out from our collective bodies- dirt, grime, fur and then there was the makeup that had turned me into a so called ape....

“Yow!! That's cold!" I screamed at the female coyote.

“Sorry, but it is the only way to remove the makeup. Especially down here!" Lurie exclaimed grabbing my penis and scrotum. “You know revenge is a dish best served cold don't you Alex?!!!"

“Lurie I said I was sorry! You aren't going to hold me responsible for what I dream while I am a sleep are you?!" I said as the female tried to scrub off makeup on my genitals that was not there.

“Yup!" She replied. “Besides, now I get to feel you up!" The vindictive coyote replied as she moved onto my face, shoulders, chest, back and arms and rump. Sorren and Tauren just laughed.

(At least she had forgotten about the female jackal that had caused our spectacular loss last night.)

The body scrub was luxurious if but cold and it did feel great to be clean again. After cleaning me, Lurie turned the water temperature back to something reasonable when it was my turn to bathe her.

The hot showers did seem to bring us back to life after being equally tired. I watched Sorren and Tauren bathe each other while I gave Lurie her body scrub. Washing that beautiful coyote did remind me that I did very much miss my she beast. I also wondered how her mission had been progressing over the last few days.

The conversation at breakfast was somewhat subdued; everyone was quietly eating probably dwelling on our astounding loss yesterday evening. It soon grew too quiet at the breakfast table- I decided to try to initiate conversation.

“So what are we doing this evening?" I asked.

Tauren, Sorren and Lurie all gave me looks that indicated all they wanted to do was lie around and recuperate from our historic loss.

“I think we should try to get through the day first before even thinking about the evening." Sorren responded. Lurie and Tauren nodded.

“So what was the homework assignment you failed to accomplish?" Lurie asked.

“I had a few reading assignments- some articles on current events, history and the arts I was supposed to read and answer some questions on." I said to the coyote female.

“Well that sounds easy." Tauren responded.

“The articles are all in Animalian."

“Ooooooh!" The trio collected responded.

“Well that is a little tougher than reading a restaurant menu in Animalian." Sorren commented. “Just allow some extra time."

“I started on some of it, before we went to the All Beast's Day celebration yesterday evening. I think I should have enough time to get it finished before 9 this morning.

(If I hurry.)

The trio finished up eating and one by one left for work just before 8 AM at which time I continued my homework assignments. But there was a problem. I thought the questions I had to answer based on the articles would be nothing more than regurgitating facts about the subject matter, but they weren't. Each question was more abstract than the one before:

Is there life elsewhere in the universe?

(That's easy.)

Do you think it is intelligent?

(Of course)

Describe the rise of the rebellion and the effect it has had on beastial society.

(Um, okay.)

What effect has it has on human society?

(Well...)

Describe the process and steps the High Evolutionary took in eradicating hunger on Counter Earth.

(Oh, Geez!)

Can these same steps be used to eradicate human poverty?

(Well, um..)

What about eradication of the human infestation?

(Hey!)

Answering each question was very time consuming requiring one to write a small essay to respond. I tried my best- but ran out time. As I lowered the pad I had a stern looking otter female starring back at me.

“Ah good morning professor!" I stammered trying to recover from being startled.

(I didn't even hear her come in.)

“Good morning Alex. I trust that you had a productive evening?"

“Some what. How are you this morning?

“Some what annoyed." The lady otter answered abruptly.

(Probably due to one Cody Spencer and his presentation at the All Beasts Day Celebration.)

“Homework please."

I handed her the pad I had been feverishly working on.

Professor Love studied that pad for a moment before handing it back to me.

“Alex, this is incomplete." She said sternly.

“Ah, about that...."

“Let me guess, after the presentation yesterday- you went OUT figuring that you could finish this, before our appointment this morning."

“Yes, I didn't think that it would take me long to finish. But it did. I am sorry."

“Alex, when I started instructing you, didn't you say you were going to give me 110%?"

“Yes, professor." I responded as I hung my head in shame.

“This isn't a 110%. In fact I have noticed recently that you have seemed to have developed a cavalier attitude when it comes to your studies." She said disappointed. “I want you to finish this assignment before I teach today's lesson."

I felt so bad that I had let her down trying to rush through the assignment. I spent part of the morning finishing the homework. It was only then that professor Love began the day's lesson: Advanced Animalian.

The lesson was intense- more nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, sentence structure. When she had finished, my head hurt and I wanted to do something, anything but think about Animalian.

“Hmm. It seems like I was right." The otter lady said to me.

“About what professor?"

“You had trouble focusing on the lesson today. In fact you seemed quite bored despite the material I gave you being quite challenging." Professor Love said. “That will do for today Alex and the rest of the week."

“The rest of the week?"

“It has been a long time coming, but I think you are ready to take the Language Evaluation Exam."

“Professor? You think so?"

The she beast nodded. “It will be given here at the castle in about two weeks and it will focus on everything that you have learned since I began instructing you. EVERYTHING."

“That is just, just WOW." I said. “How do I even begin preparing for that?" I asked astounded.

“By reading." The otter lady looked at me.

“I do professor, I do." I said enthusiastically. “Lady Ursa has me read to her every evening...."

“But since she is unavailable, how have you been practicing your reading?" The otter lady asked me point blank. I noticed that her head was turned to the side.

“I, um, err... well I did read a menu in Animalian yesterday."

“A menu?! Alex, really?"

(Oops!)

“I want you to continue to reading. But not just on anything- I want you to challenge yourself. You will be all the better for it too." Professor Love said picking up her things.

“What did you have in mind?" I asked inquisitively.

“Instead of news articles. Start reading short stories." The otter lady said leaving. “Then move on to novels."

“Short stories huh? Okay professor. Short stories." I said as I saw her to the door.

“Also start reviewing all that you have learned." She said waving goodbye. “I will contact you later with the exact date of the exam."

“Yes ma'am." I nodded.

The time was a little after 4 in the afternoon. In light of my recent procrastination, I decided that it would be prudent to start studying for the final right away. So I started combing the trio's townhouse looking for Animalian literature- short stories and novels in particular.

I did managed to find a few pads here and there, Sorren's top secret recipes, Lurie's engineering documents and Tauren's work reports- all very boring stuff and most of it was work related.

(Ugh!)

After some effort I did find another pad. This one did contain short stories on it- the kind one would read to cubs! I started reading it anyway but found it incredibly boring Don't get me wrong now, the stories were cute and sweet, but BORING!

So I resumed the search. It was then that I found something interesting in the trio's bedroom under the bed- I found a fire red pad. At first I thought it was another one of Lurie's training manuals- but the color of the pad was quite distinctive.

I turned it on and its title appeared. Lurie's collection of exotic, erotic short adventure stories. It had appeared that she had downloaded it from the hub some time ago and hadn't gotten too far into to it. From what I determined.

This would be the ticket- it is in Animalian and the subject matter would hold my interest. Should I read it? Hell yeah I should!

I started by reading the foreword:

_These collections of stories are for entertainment purposes only. The characters and events described within are purely fictional. Any resemblance to individuals alive or deceased is by coincidence. _

ALSO:

These stories have been know to leave the reader extremely hot and bothered with persistent erections and spurting genitalia not uncommon. These stories are best read in a very comfortable chair with the reader wearing loose comfortable clothing or none at all.

Please also note: these stories are quite fantastical and very very very very VERY erotic in nature. They feature characters and creatures exhibiting extreme and exotic behavior. If this upsets or offends you and in way do not read. Try a cub's nursery book instead.

(Uh did I read that right?!)

At that point I was most intrigued. _ _

Story One: Into The Darkness; A Place With No Name.

_“Damn you Trent! Did you have to strike that ball so hard?!" The young tiger shouted to the boar. _

_“Sorry." He responded. “I did hit it pretty far didn't I?" _

_“Too far." Toby grumbled. “It looks like it landed deep, deep in the woods. We best get after it; it will probably take a while to find and you know how your parents are if you are late for dinner." _

_“Wait a minute the boar responded, yours are the same- well at least your mom anyway." _

“Whatever!" Toby responded folding his paws behind his head as he entered Woodland Forest from the nearby field they were playing in. “I will take this path, you take that path. It will increase our chances of finding it."

_“Um, kay." The boar said as he took the left pathway. _

“I just hope it didn't land in one of those trees we may never find it." The young tiger muttered to himself.

_Toby spent a good 15 minutes looking for the bright red ball. It appeared it had gone deep into the forest. _

“Did it land down here hmm..."

_The tiger carefully combed the tree branches and brush just off the trail where he thought the ball might have landed. It was then that he saw it! The red ball had indeed crashed through the canopy of trees landing at the base of a very tall one. _

_Toby ran to pick it up. As he did, he noticed that the ground underneath the ball had cracks around it. Like one would see on fracturing thin ice. They seemed to increase in size the more he stared at them. No sooner had he seen this, the ground around him gave way and he fell through! _

Oh no, a sinkhole! Toby thought to himself as he disappeared down a narrow shaft the hole had created. The young tiger fell a good twenty feet. The cub fortunately had his fall broken by the red ball which he hit before hitting the ground. He was shaken, but otherwise unhurt.

Toby looked up from the bottom of the sinkhole, the walls were too wide and too steep to climb out of and the hole too deep- he was stuck.

_“Trent!" Toby called out to his friend. If the boar found him then maybe together they could figure out how to get him out of there. _

_“Trent!? Can you hear me?! Trent? Anybody?" It was obvious that he would not be going anywhere for a while. Whether or not he liked it. _

_The young tiger decided to wait for help. But, help did not come. Afternoon turned into evening. But no one came by or even knew he was there. _

“Hello!! Anyone there?" Toby called out in distress. Only silence answered back. He was confident that Trent must be looking for him now. When he didn't return home for dinner his mother would grow concerned and start looking as well. All he had to do was wait.

That the young tiger did. He called out and waited and then called out again. Still there was no answer. Evening soon turned into night.

_This was getting serious. What am a I going to do? Toby thought to himself. I could be down here for days or even weeks. There is a real possibility that I could starve! _

“Oh hell no! Damn!" The little tiger said as he punched the walls of the pit. Dirt crumbled down from each side except for one. On that side of the pit the debris crumbled revealing a large white crystal.

The gem was approximately Toby's height and dirty. The little tiger assumed that it had been in the pit for some time. But how did it get there and why?

Carefully, Toby approached the crystal and started to remove the dirt that had accumulated when it suddenly started glowing! The light illuminated the pit somewhat so the young tiger was now able to see- a little better. Toby decided to continue polishing the gem to increase its illumination.

The gem apparently liked the attention the tiger boy was giving it because it suddenly it enveloped his paw and then started making its way up his arm!

_“Hey! let me go!" _

The little tiger tried desperately to free himself from the gem as he was being pulled into it, but it was like his elbow was locked- cemented into the thing; it had him and wasn't going to let go. Inch after inch his arm sank into it then his other hand, then arm.

It was like the crystal was eating him! Soon it had the his torso, legs and face! A moment later the little tiger was sucked in!

Toby screamed as he was pulled into the crystal against his will. No sooner had it sucked him in, he was spat out on the back side of it. The crystal making a large piercing whine as it did. Perhaps it decided it didn't like tiger?

_Toby landed on the ground in a big thud. Regaining his senses he stood up, and examined his surroundings. He was free from the crystal which eerily glowed behind him and from the pit for that matter. Thank goodness. _

_Toby spun around 360 degrees taking in his surroundings. It appeared that he was in a small 10 x 10 room with long mirrors on the walls around him. It looked like there were at least fifteen. As Toby approached them he soon realized that they weren't mirrors at all but some sort of 'windows' each had some weird writing above them in some language he did not understand. There was also a different view in each. One was looking into a bluish white desolate landscape like one would see on the surface of the moon, another what looked like a prairie field, still another under the sea, yet another looked like it was inside a volcano. _

_Toby looked at each 'window' and the writing above it trying to comprehend what he was seeing. As he approached the last 'window' it had a view of a dark forest. He noticed that writing above it was written in a multitude of languages. It appeared to be some type of warning. As he continued to study the writing he discovered the bottom line was written in his language. No Return From Here. _

_What did that mean? No return from where he was now or that 'window' with the text written in a multitude of languages? The little tiger thought about his situation for a moment before he looked back at the crystal. That had to be the key. He approached it one more time and started rubbing it again. Maybe it would return him back to the pit from this wherever he was. _

That didn't happen as the crystal expelled a large gust of wind that blew Toby away from it and through the 'window'!

_"WHAA!!" The little tiger said as he hit a tree hard falling on the ground. He looked back at the 'window' he had been blown through just in time to see it close like a winking eye. _

Toby realized that he had gone through some type of portal and landed back in Woodland Forest what luck! But wait, this did not look like Woodland Forest- it was very different even ominous looking; what is worse the trees seemed to be staring at him. Which was odd and disturbing.

Toby attempted to find the path he had taken into Woodland Forest- but couldn't. He was surrounded by forest as far as the eye could see and there was no trail or pathway to be found.

_What was worse was that It was now night and mostly dark except for some beams of light from the moons. Moons? Wait something was not right. Since when were there two moons?! He didn't remember there ever being two moons in the night sky before. _

The little tiger soon realized the reason he couldn't find the pathway back to the field he and Trent had been playing in. It was because he was no longer where he thought he had been. The two moons were a dead give away.

Toby sat down to try to figure out what to do. He was lost in a strange and bizarre forest, one that he had never traveled in; nothing looked familiar. As he saw it, he had two options: one he could stay there and hope for rescue which would seem very unlikely or he could stumble around and try to find his way out. Both options were dangerous because the little tiger boy had no idea what was lurking in the forest beyond the trees which seemed to be watching him.

_While Toby was considering his options he heard talking coming from near by! Perhaps he wasn't alone after all! _

_Carefully the little tiger made his way towards the sound. He was hoping that he would find some hikers or campers on a night stroll through the forest. Yes rescue! _

Soon the tiger boy honed in on the source of the talking. “Hello!!" Toby yelled as he came upon it. But as he approached the source the little tiger realized the talking he had heard was not exactly words but moaning. It wasn't just one moan but many and they weren't the pleasurable type (sexual) moans either. These sounded like they were made from a group of somebodies. Somebodies who were in pain.

In the moonlight he came upon a horde of figures traveling in the forest. From what he could see there appeared to be about fifteen to twenty of them of various shapes and sizes, all moaning. What was even weirder was that the figures bodies didn't look symmetrical; some were missing arms, others legs and still others their heads! Of the figures who were still whole- some appeared to be dragging their legs and arms. Still others were carrying body parts that had fallen off during their travel- arms, legs and heads and all of them turned to look at the young tiger who had issued them a greeting! Their red eyes staring right through him.

“Um, hi...." Toby said greeting the horde. “I am kinda lost and was wondering if anyone could show me the way home?"

_In the light of the moons he could slightly make out their shapes and it appeared that a few of them had broken away from the group and were heading in his direction! _

(UH OH!!!)

“Wow great start! Thoughtful and engaging." I said out loud. Maybe the professor was right about me reading stories in Animalian.

To Be Continued....
