Hayden couldn't fly yet, not really. She could imagine what it would be like, soaring over the treetops, holding tight to Cody's warm fingers while their daemons danced through the air ahead of them. But just because her imagination could conjure it didn't mean she was actually able to do it. Liz got them airborne, releasing them from gravity's downward drag. But that was all she could offer for that moment. With Liz's focus, they floated in place, hovering. Cody still scrambled…-

They were still in the warehouse. Amie had the keys now, left by the hunter from another changeling tribe. This building was apparently a supply-dump for others like him, but she didn't know too many details. She knew almost nothing about the other changelings, because he hadn't stayed to tell them. Only what she could pick up from the subtle signs he radiated, and the tidbits he had shared. When he left, it was with a single instruction. "Wait until after dark before you leave. Anyone who watched to see…-

Hayden had no idea what she was doing. In some ways, that had been true since she arrived in Equestria, and had realized she wasn’t even welcome there. But compared to her preparations for dealing with nobility, or convincing the ponies of Defiance to help her, the size of the difficulties arrayed against her seemed insurmountable.She was not a great general, as Lodestone had already pointed out. She was the sort of leader who managed coordination in the background, not who could lead the charge at the…-

“So maybe you don’t want to hurt me,” Codex said, as soon as they’d finished barricading the door. Harlequin had started dragging crates over, but the other bug was cleverer than that. He stuck a rod between the handles, and just like that it couldn’t be swung in either direction. He added a few more, and the heavy wooden doors were about as secure as any doors could be.We could break them if we were a swarm. But if we were still a swarm, we would escape this place. She hadn’t felt the Swarm…-

Cozen’s own workshop was no less busy with activity.The priceless motor from Vanaheimr stood on display at one end of the room, though it had been so thoroughly taken apart that Quill almost didn’t recognize it at first. There was a thin exterior shield around it, which had been completely removed to expose its internal workings. Even Quill slid past the technicians to stare at the object.“Ingenious, isn’t it?” Cozen asked, settling down beside the motor and taking hold of the crank somepony had…-

“I, uh…” Dakota blinked. “I’m not really a pony, Pinkie. I don’t know how to fly.”She only grinned in response. “Yeah, I know. I just wanted to see what you’d say.” She bounced back a few steps, then emerged on her other side. “There are systems for immersion training, but they’re in pre-alpha since the number of you who can plug in right now is like…” She looked away, biting her tongue. “Seventy-three. Wait, no. Seventy four now. Still, kinda out of scope for how much time…-

Jackie had been to many strange places in her years. She’d seen the end of life, and beyond it. Felt the corrupting touch of necromancy, and even plunged headfirst into the gnawing void and returned with her soul intact.But in spite of all that, she still caught her breath as she passed into the center of the Breezie capital, and saw it for the first time.A shell of something like glass floated in the center of an incredible space—probably only a dozen meters or so, but unthinkably vast at her current…-

Twilight Sparkle was a coward.She had no delusions about her qualifications for battle, no part of her thought that she was secretly a brave pony who belonged with these other brilliant, brave, kind creatures. So when the Princess of Equestria stood between them and casting the spell, Twilight ran with the others.Some part of her was glad that the spell wouldn’t work out. She already had been on the verge of denying the spell to begin with, looking for any excuse she could find to refuse. The others…-

Jackie began to doubt her decision the instant she saw the starship’s outline behind the trees. It wasn’t as though they had any other choice, and she pointed and started running towards it as though it was an exciting relief. But she’d seen the old Merlin ships before in museum sims about the early history of space, and she was hardly filled with confidence. The distinct hump of its main hydrogen tank rose along its back side like a tumor left to grow untreated for decades.Bree seemed to be thinking…-

"Equestria has lost enough of its heroes already, Avalon." Luna's voice was firm, and her expression would brook no argument. Not that anyone tried. Chance could tell with her supernatural senses that the spell was completely undone. She had no idea how Luna had come to be here, though she had less confusion concerning how she had managed to dispatch the demon so quickly. Luna was positively ruthless when it came to outsiders. "Unfortunately, I cannot stay. Chance will explain." She tilted her head toward…-
