Phil led the ragtag group of desperate prisoners up the ramp, towards the heavily guarded checkpoint. On her whim, Tempest Shadow could move that crystal, crushing any realistic chances of escape. She might have moved it already, but he wouldn’t let himself consider that possibility. He needed hope right now, not reasons to doubt."Alright, everyone," Phil whispered, trying to keep his voice steady, despite the pounding in his chest. They circled around the ramp, stopping only when they were just out of…-

What did I just do? Lane bobbed up and down in the air, her limbs shaking with excitement. It had looked like her best friend might be about to beat her unconscious—or maybe catch her with a pokéball. “I can?” she asked, cautious. “Can you understand me now?” Elisa took one step closer, shaking her head. “No no, you can’t go back to that. Do what you did before when you said my name. I didn’t just imagine it.” What did I do differently? Lane knew so little, what was she supposed to…-

Whatever we were standing on was impressively strong to survive the overflowing waves of ash and dust that had fallen on it from above. It became clear why as Radiant Dawn reached one of the edges of the building and started clearing away ash with a foreleg. There was stone under there, apparently strong enough to survive a volcanic eruption.“Help me find the way down,” Dawn called, glancing over her shoulder. She was still cute, even as her bright colors turned to ashy gray. “We need to find…-

Some part of Jackie’s brain still imagined that she was buried in one of Unity’s many rooms. There were no circuits in her formerly-human brain to let her understand an entire world tucked away inside a bunker.But her brain would have to adjust. Whatever doubts she had harbored about Equestria being a real place—any secret thoughts in her mind that maybe the portal would just be a way to teleport her to somewhere else filled with ponies—those doubts were shattered.She winced for a second as she…-

Marie did not have good dreams. Her entire world was a raining, stormy mess, flashing white as she bumped and rolled down an endless hill. The impact at the end was always the same, violent enough that she could hear it through her bones instead of her ears.But then there were others. She was still asleep, that was undeniable—but somehow she wasn’t alone anymore? Like a crowd of ghostly spectators were crowding around her. Not to mock—this wasn’t school—they were here to help her.Maybe the…-

The throne room had been a spectacular chamber in its days of glory. But the war above had not spared it—as Evoli walked inside, she had to climb over huge chunks of fallen crystal, probably dislodged by the weapons of the ones defending it. There were four colors, each specifically grown here rather than found. Green, orange, red, and blue, each one divided in a circle where many thrones had been.There was a seat here for every one of the Great Queens. But thanks to Evoli, there were only two of those…-

Twilight Sparkle stood on the threshold of an abyss. Before her was the portal device, a recreation of the same relic that had nearly undone Equestria in a single spell. There was no telling what revenge Equestria might want from her, in payment for what she had stolen. Then she realized her paw was itching, and she bent down to lick it clean. There was a process to these things, and she wasn't going to rush.Of course the clock overhead didn't tick any slower, and the eyes of her friends on her were a…-

Another few days passed. Lotus spent them as productively as she could, running endlessly over the practice exercises a princess in another world had sent. At least she was making some small amount of progress—she could hold objects in the air now, so long as they weren't too heavy. That meant she didn't have to stick her face into food to eat it anymore.If only she had trusted her entire savings to invest in meme stocks, maybe she could've bought a cabin in the woods somewhere, and wouldn't be trapped…-

Sweet Sauce made it through one day of pony school.Barely.More than once he found himself wondering if it would've been kinder just to opt for execution. At least that way he wouldn't have been suffering through agonizing, time-wasting hours.Of course there was nothing new in the fundamentals. Language had changed some of its conventions since he left, but not by much. He could still work with figures, and blasted through every level of student evaluation.That didn’t mean there weren't big holes, though.…-
