"Of course they couldn't." She was indignant. "Alex, I've shown you what's in those field generators. Until we invented the Pionizer a few years back, the only place to get the material for the gravity lens from was the world's largest particle accelerators. Over half our budget went into expanding and running them. If you think antimatter might've gone missing-"Lonely Day shook her head, though she knew Taylor wouldn't be able to see. "Have any of your historians got a look at these uniforms?""Y-Yeah.…-

“What did you say they were gonna do to us?” Eric asked from the backseat. Harley swerved down a nearby side-street, then pulled an immediate left. “Depends: how weird is this girl?”“Very.” Jacob answered before Eric could, since he knew full well he would defend his best friend. Eric’s judgement of “weird” wasn’t to be trusted. “She’s sweet, but—”“If they think there’s any chance she’s been ‘contaminated,’ she’ll be locked up. We haven’t been able to find where…-

Through the maze of rock and stone we climbed. Though I had little in common with many other pegasus ponies, I did share one particular discomfort: being trapped indoors. I kept adjusting my wings in agitation as we walked, glancing up as though by doing so I might be able to lift the ceiling from over my head.“It’s not much further,” Radiant Dawn said, her voice sympathetic. Did she understand what bothered me, or just think I was bored? At least the latter would mean she didn’t think I was a foal…-

Unwilling RecruitJackie broke away from the kiss, screaming hysterical fear. She kicked and squealed as she fell, reaching out for something, anything she could use to catch herself. “Harley, save me!” she screamed, but the words were ripped away from her lips as she fell. She felt a sudden sharp pain between her shoulderblades, as though she had smacked against the rocky base of Unity on her way down. There was even the moisture of blood dribbling down her back—then she reached the clouds.Already…-

Ocellus didn’t want to think about her friends’ odds if they’d been in this same situation without her. Most other creatures, and certainly ponies, just weren’t exposed to enough danger in their lives to appreciate the need to hide sometimes.The creatures that they were running from were determined hunters, more so than most Ocellus had ever heard of. They weren’t distracted by Smolder’s little demonstration for long.But they had a head start, and a thick enough forest to hide in that they…-

Evoli watched the army assemble outside her fortress with the eyes of a dozen different drones. On some level it pleased her to see that her rivals had not been so blind and helpless as her initial estimates suggested. Yet they also didn’t take advantage of Evoli’s weakness to come down with crushing force long before the deadline arrived. They had the armies of three great queens, yet she saw none of them. Her new capital in Visuddha’s old hive grew more fortified by the day, alone and…-

Eric stared up the steps to his own house. Rain soaked his strange body to the skin, making what was left of his ill-fitting boxers cling uncomfortably with every movement. That was nothing compared to the horse pointing a weapon at him. Could he swing a weapon with a wing?"You can't have your phylactery, Searing Gale! Your evil rule is over!""Not so loud!" Eric advanced on the steps, sheltering under the awning. His car was outside it—his roommate owned the better spot. "I have neighbors. If they find…-

Repair the Engines Twilight Sparkle drifted through the computer mainframe, fighting down her stomach with every bounce and push with her wings. It’s okay, Applejack is doing what I told her. There’s no reason to be upset. Repairing the Equinox’s engines required shutting them down, which meant they stopped decelerating. No more negative acceleration meant no more apparent gravity. Unlike some of her friends, Twilight was no rock hopping prospector, who had spent months at a time in low-to-no…-

When she was new to Equestria and still adjusting to the body Luna had imagined for her, she had tripped on her own hooves and tumbled from the air if she thought too much about her flight.Princess Luna did not have any of those weaknesses. The princess had the magic of all the tribes, and more experience than ponies got in their long lifetimes.Hayden borrowed all of that experience now, tearing through the air so fast it seemed like the world around her was stretched and…-

Jamie knew what to expect—she’d given to the Arcanum Well enough times to know that every vision came with a sacrifice. What price could possibly be worth what she would receive in exchange?Suddenly she was on two feet again, her body lengthy and stretched. She’d been living in space for long enough to start to feel it, her limbs lengthened such that that she experienced a few moments of disorientation. How was she supposed to walk around with two legs again? Far off in the corner, an air-recycler…-
