Bit went with Keen up into "Revolution Square." But of all the old parts of the city, she'd never been inside the subway station, so she didn't know what had changed. The crystal dome ceiling looked intact, though she doubted the old one had so many red banners. Zircon's city colors had been silver and blue before, and she couldn't see those anywhere.Just through the doors waited soldiers in black armor, the kind made of complex interlocking metal rings. All painted black, though the cloth underneath was…-

Derek should probably have just stayed in the library and waited for Iris to return. It was the simplest plan, and was likely to get her into the least trouble. No matter how upset she was with the circumstances of her new life in this alien world, anger did not translate into competence. I can't get away. I could run to the other end of the world, and still never see home again. Only the magic in this house can help us.Maybe that meant she should be translating forbidden volumes, scouring the library…-

Twilight didn’t march straight for the pony upstairs—if Twilight saw her coming, she was very likely to panic. On the other hoof, a sudden appearance would briefly startle her, but there was very little chance of her being able to escape once she got close. Twilight remembered perfectly well how awful it was to cast any meaningful spells while under Starlight’s curse. There was no chance of being overpowered here.Twilight walked to one side of the bottom floor, where she would have a good view of top…-

Velar didn’t think it was all that strange for a bird of courage and bravery to volunteer to assist a noble cause in the Tournament of Freedom. He’d spent his childhood sleeping in war camps and listening to stories of Gavin the Just, and the loyal friend he made in the minotaur Mel’darak, when he volunteered to assist the creature in just such an event as this. Griffins were creatures of superior moral character, that was where their right to rule came from in the first place. If the former wasn’t…-

The jungle was thick, forcing the Fury to fly far higher than they wanted to. None of the ponies aboard had any illusions about its invincibility, particularly now that Celestia was gone. The jungle this far south was known to be the home of dangerous creatures, every bit as bad as the Everfree. Flying so high might well broadcast their coming to every large predator in the area. They couldn't fly lower through the trees, but if they went too high they might not be able to find the ruins they were looking…-

How could Star learn the secrets of Stygian’s Gate without making it obvious that she was here to get all of them hanged?It was going to be an awkward conversation when she finally met back up with Ginny, and had to admit that she was right. Ponies could be incredibly stupid about their relationships. She’d never imagined she would wield a power like that over somepony, let alone actually use it. But how could she say no when the opportunity was given to her so plainly? Certainly it had nothing to do…-

There was no more drama for a few hours as Radio Springs mobilized. Alex learned then that the pegasi flying from Motherlode had been sent to tell the city about the attack and the armored pony that had killed three of their guards and been heading for the settlement. Thank God she had noticed them, or else she might’ve walked right into the city and been arrested.White did not correct the misinformation, not yet. If the pegasi heard that some other story was being passed around, they might be able to…-

Harlequin was no stranger to the look of the changeling prison as the pony guards escorted her down. After all, she’d been there when much of it was dug. She knew about each of the fortifications in place, knew where each of the attendant guards would be standing, and was ready for them. What she didn’t expect was the blacksmith waiting at the end of the ramp. “Another straggler, huh? Will we need to get it out again?”“Likely,” said one of the guards. “Pretty elaborate scheme going to replace…-

Lyra settled into her captain's chair, poised at the exact center of the battle formation. Through the screen of her ship, Lyra could scarcely judge the scope of what she saw—the other ships were each incredible in scale, each their own mountain of frozen metal and bristling weapons.With a few months of study, her crew no longer wandered from seat to seat, without ever contributing anything at any specific place. Now everyone had their station—Muffins at sensors, Time Turner at communications, and…-

Guard the prisoner 55%Twilight Sparkle was better now. She would stay better, so long as she didn’t try to use her magic accidentally in the next few days.Unfortunately, that meant she couldn’t possibly look like a skilled unicorn to the prisoner, since the simplest trick of a space-faring unicorn was making their own gravity. But the captured pony had held her mysteries long enough.“You both did excellent work,” she said, as the lift came to a stop on crew level. “I couldn’t have asked for a…-
