Summer found she didn’t much care to see if Corey was right in his guess about Kate. She flew across the room to where Sharp had landed, bending down beside him to inspect his injuries. “Hey, are you okay? Sharp?”There was blood, though not as much as his own knife had produced on the body of the unfortunate soldier. Yet Kate’s own claws had clearly done far more damage than the gun, somehow.Finally she managed to roll Sharp over and get a good look at his face. Kate had gone for his neck, but her…-

Have Applejack repair, despite her illness. 61%“Well, it ain’t the prettiest work I ever…” Applejack dropped for a second, hacking and coughing out onto the soil. She stood up a moment later, clearing her throat. Cryosleep Caskets were modular, portable hardware—which was a small miracle for the pony Sunset Shimmer, since most everything else in the escape pod had turned to a corroded hulk in the moisture rich underground environment. Twilight had levitated the unit out away from the trees…-

Twilight marched out of the otherworldly manor house, conscious of the eyes of the guards and strange ponies on her. It pained her curiosity not to go back to the party and try to meet more of its guests, but not quite so much as her fear of Thunder’s promises.Could he really hold her hostage here for a whole year, doing the terrible things he’d implied? Would Celestia tolerate it?There’s so much you didn’t tell me, Celestia. Did you really plan on waiting for me to find all this on my own?It was a…-

Twilight had never seen this trail through the Everfree before—as a matter of fact, she was positive it didn’t exist. But considering everything else around them, a road that shouldn’t be there was the least of her worries. The forest had very little in common with the one she knew. Most of the trees towered overhead, as tall as some castles and wider across at their trunks than ten ponies standing in a line. Their leaves spread wide overhead, and their bark was dark red.“Rarity told me I…

Twilight had only a single night to rest from her trip under the ocean. She slept uneasily, particularly with the tiny bar of metal under her pillow. She hadn’t ever had anything so valuable before, but considering everything riding on it, she couldn’t take the chance that something might happen.Her alarm woke her an hour before dawn, with shrill beeping that echoed through the room and caused Spike to groan and roll over. “It’s not even light yet,” Spike moaned, covering his head with his…

“So how long do you think it will take for things to go back to normal?” Spike asked, as they stepped off the train into Ponyville proper. There was nopony in the station with them except for the janitor and some off-duty railway staff—everypony left on the morning train, they wouldn’t be back until evening. “Because it feels like you didn’t even tell me the craziest parts.”You’re not wrong. Spike had only a general idea about most things, and most of that he’d read indirectly from her.…

Star Orchid had never flown before. It wasn’t just that she was a bit of a homebody, never venturing too far from the capital district and all the ponies who lived there—though that was certainly the case. It was, rather, that almost no one flew unless they’d done something wrong. Flying meant you had somewhere to go, and there was nowhere to go from Concord that wasn’t worse.Now she perched near the bow of the little transport cruiser, feeling the deck rumble and shake as they moved. A thick cloud…-

They had their first death the next day.Jackie had known something awful just like that could happen—that somepony would be stupid and avoid her instructions and pay the price. Sydney wasn’t just empty land, it was the site of a terrible battle. She fully expected some of the wreckage of that ancient conflict to linger on, ready to rip its claws up through history and tear apart the unwary.She made her way to the edge of the crater, where someone had dragged out the body. A bat had been electrocuted,…-

The longer Dakota remained in Equestria, the harder it was to remind herself that she was still standing in her apartment, wearing weird shoes and probably looking like an idiot. At least in the time before her implant, she could’ve just removed the glasses. Maybe I should start using them again. Just because I don’t need them doesn’t mean they might not be better. That would give her more control than trusting the system.But confusion and indecision would not make this problem go away. She owed…-

The SunThe longhouse didn’t look like a longhouse on the inside. A younger Jackie—so long ago that she could barely even remember being that person—would’ve loved it.The entire structure was bright pink and lace, with artificial elegance dripping from every corner. There was no sign of the salvaged look of the village outside—it was the Lolita’s wet dream.Except that ponies all around her weren’t dressed the part. There were dozens of posing dummies around the edge of the room, each one…-
