Lane had been looking for hours. Turning back to the convention had been an easy choice at first—all the data in the world about legendary Pokémon assembled into one place, obviously the answers would be here. But while there were whole sections about the climate instability caused by some recent disaster or another, and even some credibility given to an absurd region worshiping a goat-thing and some egg, Mew was almost deliberately absent. After an hour of finding nothing and ignoring texts from his…-

Lyra crouched low to the ground, watching as the vehicles rolled to a stop opposite the thick line of trees. After Starlight's first attempt to magically stop them, none of the others tried a direct magical attack. The Seers knew how to put up a ward.“We need to get more guns,” Lyra whispered. One hand closed around her magical tool, while the other remained empty. She steadied herself against the mud. That was mostly instinct—she had already enhanced her own reflexes to a nearly Olympian level. Even…-

Rick looked away from her, hiding his fear. That might have helped him if she was a pony, or something remotely similar. Unfortunately for the bug, Amie could still see his emotions. She could see his thoughts too, if she pushed hard enough. She didn't though—probing into someone's mind without their permission felt like a violation. Her loyal bugs deserved better."Where is Wes?" she repeated. "It's not like him to run off for no reason. Did he go out for groceries?""No." Rick hurried across the room,…-

If it had been anyone else waiting for her, with the possible exception of Escape Gear, she probably wouldn’t have been willing to follow. But for all that Harmony could oppose her interests—even violently—she knew with absolute confidence that it wouldn’t lie. As far as she knew, it couldn’t.Unfortunately for her, Felicity’s whole body felt like it had been squeezed dry, and every movement cost her great effort. She didn’t run after Harmony so much as shamble and trip after it, cursing…-

She hurried from the apartment after that, barely even stopping to think about what to bring with her as she tossed it into a pack. Her last few days made decreasing sense the more she thought about it. Was it really a good idea to hide from the ponies by remaining in plain sight? By being close to them, she would invite more attention than if she hid in her room and did nothing.Too late now. I could've got her to leave me alone before."You won't need much," Rainbow said, waving a dismissive hoof. "Looks…-

Kaelynn wasn't a person who could be idle. It didn't matter how much work she'd done before, or how justified her idleness would feel to anyone else. Kaelynn couldn't bear to sit still. She'd been caught before, and spent a few nights in lockup while waiting for the lawyers to do their work. But at least then she had a book to read, or some paper she could use to sketch things out. Anything was better than sitting around to wait.This time there would be no bribing the police to let her go, there were no…-

Sweetie Drops collapsed to the stone floor, her eyes weak and distant. “That’s it, then,” she whispered, staring up at the humming machines. “One by one, Computer got us. Now I’m the only one left.”Lyra dropped down beside her, resting one knee on the strange ground. Her girlfriend had always been cute, but now there was something almost parental in her feelings. She’d never sounded so heartbroken, not anytime Lyra could remember. She put one hand on her shoulder, and winced at Sweetie’s…-

It felt like only hours ago that Mira knew the cut of a knife across her throat, thrust by a hoof she thought she could trust. A bat pony just like her, somepony who should understand, somepony who should be willing to take steps to protect the rest of the tribe—instead doing everything he could to prevent Mira from doing what they all knew was necessary.In a short time, she had reversed almost all of it—Sandy was here, Pixie was okay, and even Kallisto wasn't trying to kill her anymore.Time in dreams…-

Twilight rose in time with the slight jolt of the Celestia’s Grace as they finally settled into place, landing struts extended. The rumble of their engines faded into the distance, and for a moment they were left in silence.Out the windows all around them, she could see the landing field. A field was exactly what it looked like, with a soft purple grass punctuated with gray flowers. Or… maybe she just didn’t have the right senses to appreciate the color. “This is the capital of the galaxy?”…-

Felicity circled around the control-panel. She couldn't say exactly how many times she had swam around it. Not just to bask in the warmth that radiated from it, though there was certainly some element of that. After being in the dark for so long, even the emergency lights served to help wake her up.They were nowhere near as strong as the illumination that filled even the most broken-down skimmer she'd ridden in. Those were designed to nourish one of her kind, minimizing light-bleed along other spectra.…
