Ocellus watched from the back of the group as they advanced towards the scepter.Smolder was not the first into the opening. With the Thronestone's powers not working on her, that meant clear danger for her to avoid—it meant the strange magical voice of the scepter could speak to her with every moment, whispering promises of power to her ears.While they climbed, she kept her eyes on Sandbar's back, using the pony's outline to ground her in the real world. So long as she could see something real, she could…-

Chapter 16Jackie stumbled out the other end of the portal, feeling a little less like she’d just had her insides scrambled than she had the last time. She passed a mounted gun before she realized that she was walking on two legs again. She couldn’t help herself—the sound that escaped her lips certainly wasn’t a word, or even close to one, and it made her blush the instant she realized what she’d done.She leapt up into the air, hanging there for several full seconds. Wait, what? No sooner had she…-

Marie wasn’t sure showing the magical creatures how a television worked was a good idea, for entirely selfish reasons. Once there was a steady stream of images playing across its surface, they no longer needed to get their information from her. That meant less attention, and it meant she could already feel her hunger returning.Besides, the BBC’s current report on what was amounting to the largest natural disaster in the history of the United Kingdom wasn’t exactly an enjoyable watch. The broadcast…-

Lotus woke to the birds, whistling and singing to each other from the other side of her tent. The shiny blue fabric did nothing to mute the sound, and almost nothing to keep the light from shining in and blinding her.Lotus crawled a little lower into her sleeping bag, sinking past its edges. The birds were as loud as ever from that angle, but at least the bag did something about the light. The light couldn't get her inside, but the shame was just as strong inside as out. She remembered…-

Sweet Sauce wasn't sure exactly what he was excepting from a celebration he'd never experienced in Equestria before. But he hadn't experienced much of anything in the modern Equestria, so anything would be its own surprise.He would never admit to having any kind of interest in a party so big it attracted ponies from all over Equestria. All to celebrate something called "Nightmare Night."Even Cheerilee had told him remarkably little about the event, except confiding that it was the way creatures celebrated…-

It didn't take long to gather everyone together. Sickly Astrid and young Manny were both asleep, so not hard to carry into a clearing surrounded by false trees. Quinn floated in the center of their makeshift circle, above Mythical Pokémon with expressions ranging from hope to skepticism. Aster lay curled against her mother, her breathing shallow but steadier than before. Manny slept peacefully in Sable's arms, oblivious to the tension surrounding them. "Everyone ready?" Quinn asked,…-

The next thing Hayden knew, he was on his back in the sand, staring up at a glass ceiling. Everything hurt, but some parts more than others. Something blocked his vision at first, and he reached up to brush it away. Long strands of something pink, hanging in front of his eyes. His hair had changed! "L-Liz?" he whimpered, reaching for her. The voice was wrong—it sounded like the one from his vision. That made his heart start to race, and panic flood into his chest. "Liz, where are…-

Amie woke from her sleeping bag to the first light of dawn. A glance at her phone told her just how strange that was—an hour and a half asleep, several times longer than she was used to. Odd. But her pony companion was still asleep, so she still had time to practice. She made her way into the bathroom, pulled the blinds closed, then turned up the lamp as bright as it would go.There was a mirror in here, so she could see her own body while she worked.Now if only she could figure out how she was supposed…-

Jackie felt blood dribbling slowly down one of her wings. It wasn’t hers—she hadn’t been injured, at least not that she could tell. But just because it didn’t hurt didn’t mean that she hadn’t been damaged.She could still hear the gunfire, accelerator rifles firing straight into an unprotected crowd. You have crowd control weapons, you asshole. You already closed the portal. You didn’t need to hurt anyone.She longed for the days of Confluence, the great Central Compiler of the Enduring Ones.…-

Arcane Word considered asking Princess Celestia explicitly for help twisting time in her part of the world. A whole new world of experiences was opening to her, but she had only moments to appreciate them. She couldn’t take advantage of some of digital life’s greatest advantages without prostrating herself before the digital goddess that had tricked her into being here. Arcane would not do that.Granted, her real reasons were simpler. She would’ve had to think of a way to justify her request to…-
