The fight didn’t seem to be going well. Harlequin kept her distance from the opening to the alley, watching as a veritable storm of ponies went by. They fought so quickly that she barely got a good look at them, but she could see well enough to be afraid.How are they winning so easily? She crouched low, watching as a dozen different drones surrounded their little group, attacking all at once. The ponies responded with equal synchronicity, with the horned one and an unhorned one blasting away half of them…-

For the palace of the princess, Canterlot Castle wasn’t much of what she’d expected. It was really just a large room, with an elegant chair on one end and a few seats for witnesses along the wall. Sunset walked in at the back of the group, keeping her head down. I can see why the Princess is renovating. The throne room she’s building is way more impressive than this.The trip into Canterlot had been uneventful, painfully so. She couldn’t have said which train Flash Sentry had ridden in, but she…-

"You can take the blindfold off now." Alex leaned back in her seat, so she could see Amy's reaction. She had been to Bountiful plenty of times herself, it had no wonders for her. But for her friend...Amy tugged on the blindfold, and her jaws fell open. Alex heard her gasp, letting her awe wash over her along with the flashing lights and colors. Alex remembered her first visit. It was good to see that emotion shared.Bountiful was a city of steel and stone, as the old cities had been. In some ways it was…-

Velar sat alone as near the prow of the pony ship as he could, staring off into the ocean. They were up too high to see much down there but black water, and anyway his amazing vision turned to washed out confusion as soon as the sun went down. But just now, that was an advantage.Unfortunately for him, the one thing he wanted to see least was still plainly before his eyes at every moment. The strange pony vessel with its impressive magic shield could not keep out the ash.It showered on everything, a fine…-

Tell him, then bring him along 63%“Spike, wake up.” She pushed him gently, but firm enough that he wouldn’t have a choice. It took a little more effort than it might’ve when he was younger. But he was no baby dragon anymore, not small enough to push around whenever she wanted. There was still something cute about the way he curled up, even if he didn’t use the bed, just slept on the floor in a corner. I wonder if that’s what happened because you grew up without any pony role models. Too bad you…-

Jacob felt very tired when he was done, his extremities cold and his skin pale. Even so, he felt good. Lives would continue because of what he had done, even if they might be… ponies. He still didn’t understand that, and just now he was too tired to care. He slumped into one of the window-seats and barely thought about anything. Clouds and blue sky gradually darkened as they flew, but he didn’t mind. His whole life had been uprooted, possibly with dire consequences, and he couldn’t feel anything…-

We left Gina’s office behind shortly after that. I wouldn’t say I wasn’t eager to leave, though I’d certainly gathered some useful information. Maybe not quite as much as I would’ve if Starlight Glimmer had been willing to talk to me…“Did you find out what you wanted to know for your book yet?” Radiant Dawn asked, bouncing along beside me. “It felt like you were going to be in there asking questions for hours.”For the heir of the largest empire in the world, I wasn’t sure if I should…-

Unwilling RecruitTheir plan began without a hitch. They prepared their cameras, waited for Harley to leave on assignment, and watched Unity’s exterior entrances carefully. The balcony they planned to use was used by many of Unity’s winged inhabitants, or at least the ones that claimed to come from Equestria.Sven was not excited about the part of their plan that involved being carried down to the window, but what other options did they have? They had plenty of time to practice the maneuver without a…-

Ocellus couldn’t help but feel cornered by the strange alien creatures. She’d been with many creatures before, and for a changeling such trips were often something to be enjoyed. A new creature was a new possibility, something with abilities she could learn.But where she might learn to copy most animals in a few minutes and complex creatures like ponies in a few hours, these humans were proving difficult so far. She watched the way they moved, tried to judge how their limbs connected, but wasn’t…-

New Delaware was not one of the dozens of villages and tiny towns Evoli had faced in her campaign across the country. It was, rather, a fortress of surpassing strength, built by the finest griffon stonemasons. As night fell, Evoli could see their torches moving back and forth along the walls, and see the outlines of their patrols in the air.She couldn’t see a single changeling anywhere—though by their nature, it was hard to be certain about their presence. But Evoli would’ve been able to sense it if…-
