Twilight rarely had cause to remember the time leading up to the return of Nightmare Moon. But looking back on those few months now made them feel almost quaint by comparison.Back then, she had known Equestria was about to collapse under a terrifying invasion. As Celestia's personal apprentice, she had easily obtained an audience with important ponies across Canterlot. But despite their politeness and enthusiasm, they'd barely even listened to her. Only the princess herself had been willing to hear her…-

Sky’s hooves felt like she had tied lead weights to them with how easily she moved. She was about to break into the house that Alexandria’s first ever visitors were using for their private business. She was about to betray their trust and possibly reveal them as some sort of awful, homicidal murderers. More likely, they would be guilty of nothing, and she was going to destroy their relationship with Alexandria.That, or she wouldn’t be caught, and she would feel horrible and guilty every time she was…-

Dear Journal,I feel like I never sleep as well anywhere that isn't my own bed. Of course, I used to think that I could never get a good night's sleep without the sound of traffic and the trains and buses constantly going by. I guess each of us have room to grow. Still felt kinda groggy when I woke up this morning, and I guess I felt that way the rest of the day. I don't really get it, because I'm used to going to bed and waking up early from my work schedule.It felt too weird to use the beds here last…-

Lauren wasn’t stopped and asked to explain herself by any of the supervising “ponies”. After seeing what had happened to her brother, she tried to see if her condition had been common. Though she couldn’t tell for sure at a glance as easily with these new bodies, it didn’t smell like there were very many stallions in the room. That was the word for a male horse, wasn’t it? The trend continued as she crossed the hall into the classroom where many of the office staff were congregating. The space…-

Investigate the supercomputer lab on B3. (99%)Elliot had come this far, he wasn't going to just run away now. "Ruby thought there was something in the supercomputer lab, maybe something to do with the disease. We should check it out."Sam grunted noncommittally. "Kinda feels like we're running towards danger instead of away from it, Blue. I don't want anything to do with whatever is doing this to me."He held up one hand, flexing his stiff fingers. Elliot looked away from that too: they almost seemed…-

They didn’t have to wait long for the caravan to appear. It wasn’t all that loud, though Moriah found herself impressed by the resourcefulness she saw even at a distance. Most of the vehicles appeared to be military. As they drew closer, she was able to count a total of four vehicles: one cloth-covered personnel carrier, one covered military cargo truck, one fuel tanker, and one civilian semi towing what looked to be a daisy-chain of three different trailers. What the hell kind of engine was in that…

Weave Through Backroads (87%)Elliot wasn't exactly excited to give up the wheel. But considering their last few experiences with law enforcement, there was only one choice that made sense. They could never pass for uninfected, not looking like they did. And if they actually ran into any healthy people, they might spread the disease!They had Zalenka's journals, and whatever data the supercomputer had calculated. Maybe they had the key to a vaccine, or even a cure. But they couldn't discover that information…

Edgar loomed over Kyle. For a few seconds she was struck by just how tall he was. Of course Dad was about the same height, but he never felt half as intimidating. Edgar, though…She recognized him perfectly, but even so there was something strange and out of place about seeing him so close. He was supposed to exist in angry letters and half-heard phone calls, not the real world.“You’re not terrified of us?” Kara asked, sliding past Kyle without slowing for a second. She spoke with her same…

Fay might be a horrifying creature from beyond time and space, but she was still a baby. After transforming the reality inside the old stable, she didn't stay awake long. Or maybe it was just having somewhere familiar to sleep. Either way, Kyle was soon left with a little time to herself to try and work things out.The stable still had a single electrical outlet, right beside the door. She plugged in the laptop, sitting around the corner so she wouldn't disturb the baby. Using it would make for good…

Twilight landed with an explosion of light and sound. She was barely even conscious of the drop through the air, to land roughly on ground charred by the magic of their passing. Her ears rang and bright white splotches were all she could see. Even so she clutched at her necklace with one hoof, desperate for the touch of something familiar.Yes, the power of her spells was still here. Just as a world close enough for Flurry to survive would probably have life that was similar to theirs, it would also need…
