Gus was the first to emerge from cover. Despite the trees, his feathers and fur still looked a little scorched around the edges. Some part of Lotus still remembered what it was like to feel pain from heat, but that was a distant memory now. As distant as being human, and a dude."I was going to say you did that without blowing up," Gus began. "But you dropped the ball on that part, right at the end."She scooped the spell book up into her magic, then stomped out the embers burning on what was left of her…-

Sweet Sauce knew how difficult his life was about to become. Even in the perfect world where Princess Celestia accepted his return and forgave all crimes, things would never be the same in Equestria again. But Sweet Sauce had a realistic idea about how likely that outcome was. The oldest sibling had always been a pony with extremely rigid views. Evidently that attitude had come up against more than just Sweet since his banishment.He was even prepared for anger—Celestia had been furious enough to banish…-

It was a long way to the surface; a long way through twisting tunnels, confusing passages and abandoned buildings. In another life, Quinn would've made that trip up slowly, exploring every inch of the strange facility and learning whatever could be discovered about the ones who lived there. Even if he wasn't an archeologist, he still wanted to know. Basically no one understood the ancient Pokémon, or imagined they had ever lived in civilizations. Here was a relatively recent structure, with much…-

To his surprise, Eleanor had plenty of clothes that didn't bother him. Instead of a wardrobe filled with ancient relics, she had all kinds of amazing things, in styles and sizes to fit a wide variety of different people. The guys' clothes didn't fit quite right anymore, though. It stretched in some places where it shouldn't, and rubbed against his chest with a persistent discomfort whenever he moved. He wore it anyway, even if the reflection staring back at him in Eleanor's…-

For the second time in three days, Amie dragged her brother into the forest.This time there was no rumble of a jeep following them across the campgrounds, or the shout of distant, angry voices. They weren’t running through the wilderness either, but had a gravel path to follow. So long as Amie kept Tailslide’s directions fresh in her mind, she could probably take them all the way to Agate without stopping.Except, of course, for Wes.Her brother lacked her endurance, and couldn’t keep running for long.…-

Chance was too tired to dream. There were no insane visions or personified versions of the difficulties that troubled her consciousness.

Eventually she stirred, blinking blearily and searching for the voices.She expected to see Pip beside her, perhaps talking to Truth or one of the Crusaders. But the room was empty. Pip's scent was still here,…-

It was positively insane—Jackie knew it shouldn’t have worked. Knew it in the same way that she knew that comfort was good and pain was bad. Yet incredibly, inexplicably, she was discovering she was wrong.“So much of how we live is built on unquestioned assumptions,” Hat Trick explained. “Assumptions about where the world ends, about how power ought to be used, about what can be achieved and what can’t. But the end of one assumption is the beginning of the next great invention. Or the next…-

Ryan looked out around the deck. Ponies whimpered in pain, others huddled in small groups, flush with victory but also overwhelmed by the crash. There was so much to do, and the pressure mounting to get it done. He looked like their leader, but that didn't mean he knew how to lead them.Then again, who could? Blake had always been in charge, but that was over a hobby! They were supposed to brave forbidden places, not fight for their lives. Not kill people."Jordan, you're hurt. You go with the injured.…-

“A moment, Natasha,” Starlight called, before Sunset could disperse with the other diplomats. She hesitated under the covered roof. Brad did too, but she waved him away. “Whatever this is, I can tell you about it once I know.”“Come with me, ‘Natasha,’” Starlight said, and together they walked towards the city. Around the meeting area they passed a gathering of ponies, who’d apparently been waiting for Alexi to be finished. “When can they change us back?” someone asked, his voice…-

Harlequin could feel that something was wrong before they even stepped through the door. She knew little about medicine—the Swarm never had hospitals or doctors when anyone in it could be suddenly empowered with the knowledge to treat whatever wounds were present.Even without anything to compare against but her last visit, there was so much suspicion. Where there had been only a handful of doctors and the sick before, the ponies she sensed inside now seemed healthy and numerous. They were……-
