      by Starscribe "I can't believe I almost missed it!" Iron Feather exclaimed. He took the book from Lotus, turning it over in his hooves.She let him have it without much resistance, backing towards the door. She felt much better after cleaning up, but some part of her would feel strange until she got dressed. "You expected to realize I could... puke books?" she asked. She still had a towel wrapped around her lower body, but in practice it didn't cover much. She couldn't get tight without restricting her legs, which…

      by Starscribe Use the Contingency. 63%“I can make it work!” Pinkie declared, her voice confident. “Trust me, captain! Please.”She never would’ve considered it if she were still on the ground. But Twilight was still ten minutes away, no matter what she did.“Okay,” she said. “Rainbow, prep for evac. If this doesn’t work, run for the city in two minutes. She has that long.”“I… believe I can keep up a shield for that long,” Rarity muttered. “Yes. I’m sure of it. Two minutes. You better get…

      by Starscribe Twilight flies down for a rescue 38% Twilight was powerless to help as she galloped through the Equinox, heading straight back to the docking bay. Every second counted, and even an instant takeoff would still make her about fifteen minutes from arriving.

Buck me, there’s so many!”Twilight smacked down…

After an initial prep on Proximus B, Fluttershy loaded what was left of Sunset Shimmer onto the Prospector.Twilight was there to hold her in total antigravity, even during transit, while Spike worked the controls. Only Node came along, since her direct involvement would be needed to get the artificial limbs working. Twilight managed the trip up without difficulty, with only a minor hiccup that…

      by Starscribe Study the remains. 44%Twilight was back in the hospital for the next few days. Considering the number of times she’d been bruised, bloodied, or otherwise injured since being first defrosted, she was starting to miss the beep of the monitoring system whenever she couldn’t hear it.At least there was one consolation to her visit this time: she could be there to see Applejack walk for the first time.Everypony who wasn’t involved in their research on the mysterious creature was there, though there was…

      by Starscribe Hunt and destroy with all resources 47%“You don’t have a choice,” Rainbow said, hacking and coughing. Whatever had happened to her during the creature’s brief attack, it was slowing her down. There were burns on the front of her armor, most concentrated near her head, and her rifle’s capacitors had all exploded. The suit seemed to have protected the rest of her from that explosion. “We have to bring it down. Once that thing gets into the buckin’ ruins, it’s gone. No way it doesn’t know we…

And you think it’s coming for us.”“Yes,” Twilight tensed. “Rainbow, I know it was stupid. Right now… it’s just lucky I met you first. I trust your experience when dealing with this thing. I think its magic was similar to King Sombra, so anything…

      by Starscribe Wake sunset after the prosthetics are implanted. 83% “And you don’t know of anything in the medical database that might explain it?” Twilight asked, exasperated. She was in the medical bay, beside the still-healing Sunset and Applejack’s empty bed. Several days had passed since she made the decision not to force Sunset to wake.Is there anything about twilight’s condition in the database? Critical no. Fluttershy gazed at her from across the table, shaking her head sadly. “I searched the whole…
