The door swung open in front of them, without coming off its hinges or spraying sparks or doing anything else it shouldn’t. But it wasn’t Discord on the other side.Twilight’s mouth hung open, completely stunned by the one waiting for them. She was so overwhelmed that she wasn’t even the first one to speak. “Fluttershy? How did you get here first?” Rainbow asked, raising an eyebrow. “Weren’t you searching the towers with Rarity?”“I, um…” Her ears flattened, and she looked away from…-

I took little pride in being right. The guards searched us right there on the street, though they didn’t find much. I had a knife kept somewhere obvious, and a few tools I’d hidden away a little better. Calico hadn’t brought anything they cared about, though they stole her little pouch of bits and seemed to enjoy just how hurt it made her look. I hope that isn’t everything you had left.We went straight into the sewer entrance I’d found, then down a series of tunnels until it connected with the…-

“Dakota, you need to get out of there!” Cinnabar called, his voice seeming distant and stretched. “Something’s happening, I think it’s the—” For a single instant, there was nothing at all around her. Dakota was cast screaming into the void, her arms and legs scratching and clawing at nothing. But then the moment passed, and she realized she was inside the pod. Signal FailureEmergency Egress“Cinnabar, where are you?” She shoved at the shell, pushing it off above her. The room outside was…-

Dakota had to admit that Cinnabar had been right about her preferences: she did enjoy traveling. Of course, it was stranger than she remembered. Security had once involved a physical nightmare of waiting in line and often an embarrassing pat-down if she so much as looked at the TSA the wrong way. All that was gone, replaced with a privacy nightmare instead. A single line, a single scanner with ponies working it and inspecting literally everything that passed through with perfect precision. Well, some of…

Emmet didn’t wake in his family’s palatial mausoleum, in a bedroom that felt too large and air that was too conditioned. The first thing he felt was the warmth of his blankets, heavy and hot. Maybe a little uncomfortable, even.He sat up in bed, and found he knew how. What he saw beneath him was strange—but he knew to expect it, so that wasn’t so bad. A coat so white it almost shone when the sun struck it. No hands, just flat stumps. Hooves, he corrected. They weren’t stumps. “How do…-

Lane appeared outside the nursery, ears flat and tail drooping. She nearly fell out of the air from the effort of the simple teleport, but caught herself a few inches from the damp jungle floor. She touched both paws against it, breathing in the familiar heat and damp of the Guyana jungle. When the world was insane, at least she had some small refuge. The building might be human-sized, but it was so well-concealed that she had no fear of the location being discovered. She'd chosen a rocky chasm so far…-

Star Orchid stared down at the scroll in front of her, chewing subconsciously on the feathery tip of her quill. This message wasn’t scribbled hastily, but copied with perfect calligraphic order, exactly as she wrote any court document she thought the princess might see. As perfect as she could create, though from her that was never quite good enough.The little fireplace against the far wall crackled merrily, turning dry wood into an uneven orange glow. Star hadn’t seen any of the other residents here…-

Lucky Break set down the chalk, spinning around to look proudly up at her teacher. "How's this, Knowing Look?" she asked, shifting a little on her hooves. On the board behind her, Lucky had recreated a poem from Equestrian history, which was written in the unicorn script with the words arranged in the shape of a tree. It had been an ambitious choice for her first final project, far more than anything her fellows were doing, but it was the only task that had felt remotely worthy of Lucky's linguistic…-

“I shouldn’t be reduced to this…” Flint muttered, glancing over her shoulder at the Lord Regent. “Couldn’t one of my lieutenants fight instead? He’s not in my chain of command.”Below his air-armor, Rockshanks’s face was unmoved. “In a way, he is. You supervise the dross clinging to Moonrise’s underbelly. It was your responsibility to be certain they marched with the rest of us towards salvation. Instead, we see rebellion. If the princess were here, with a small number of rebels camped…-

Nightmare Moon was apparently right not to be worried about them. Twilight spread her wings, lowering her head submissively to the guards. “I’m not going to resist.” Nightmare Moon’s plan seemed obvious to her now—she probably hadn’t teleported more than a few feet. She wanted to see if Twilight would reveal her true motives now that she was arrested.But just being arrested was nothing she was afraid of. Maybe we can win over Rarity once we’re in jail. Or maybe we can escape when Nightmare…
