It didn't matter how hurt she was, and how badly she probably needed it; Vesper couldn't sleep. The moon was high, and with it her anxiety. The rescue was successful—Kaelynn was free, and a terrible pony who had caused harm to so many wouldn’t be able to hurt anypony else again. It was the kind of results she might've called a "huge success".But now Equestria knew about them. They were no longer hidden, and their reveal had hardly been positive. Everything Twilight said about the stupidity of their…-

Amie barely saw what happened next. Terrified ponies, an ambulance wagon, and dozens of guards swarming in from all sides. Rick's bloody form vanished behind a wall of armor, while others shoved her into a metal car.Beth's presence was almost as thoroughly removed from her view as the workers she usually used, so withdrawn that she felt nothing from her anymore. She saw the spear, felt the magic just as Amie had—and now faded into despair. But while she could retreat, the queen farcasting into her body…-

Twilight flies down for a rescue 38% Twilight was powerless to help as she galloped through the Equinox, heading straight back to the docking bay. Every second counted, and even an instant takeoff would still make her about fifteen minutes from arriving. By the time she’d made it into the Prospector, she could hear the panicked shouts coming in over the radio. Rainbow again. “Multiple airborne contacts out of the Memorial. The whole roof just opened! Buck me, there’s so many!”Twilight smacked down…-

Lilac shielded her face with one leg, coughing and spluttering in the cloud of dirt and broken rock. She didn't expect that to matter much—the cave in would probably kill her, Risk, and Iris too. Only, it didn't. She lifted her leg a second later, confused. A glowing shell wrapped around them, bowing in slightly under the force of so much rock. Iris stood in the center, staring up at the collapsing ceiling. Even though her head was nowhere near the top of the shield, it seemed to be crushing her…-

Blake's instincts went wild. He glanced back the way they'd come, desperate for some other avenue of escape. But there was nothing, other than back into the tank he already knew wouldn't get them out. He didn't need an introduction to know who this was—if her regal bearing wasn't enough, that six-pointed star cutie mark and crown of white gold was enough to make it clear.Vesper slumped in his grip, dropping down to the ground in a weak bow. Blake imitated her almost as quickly. Violence was impossible…

Amie pushed the book closed in front of her, darting across the room to meet the waiting pony. She had rarely felt such negativity coming from one creature before, let alone someone she cared about. But real ponies had much stronger feelings than any of her bugs, even when the difficulties they suffered through weren't as severe."Are you okay, Ivy? I knew you hated reading, but I didn't think it would be that bad."The unicorn shut the door behind her with a little magic, but otherwise kept her distance…

Focus on her Brain 67% Not everyone could be in attendance for the surgery, despite how much they might want to. After an initial prep on Proximus B, Fluttershy loaded what was left of Sunset Shimmer onto the Prospector.Twilight was there to hold her in total antigravity, even during transit, while Spike worked the controls. Only Node came along, since her direct involvement would be needed to get the artificial limbs working. Twilight managed the trip up without difficulty, with only a minor hiccup that…

Ryan swung with all his might. But for as confident as he was, unicorn magic was still totally new to him. He could barely move objects along, let alone do so with any force. How much did it take to kill a powerful old unicorn, anyway?Too much, as it turned out. The sword deflected off nothing as it got close. Maybe it was the force of the impact, or maybe it was a directed attack by the unicorn he was fighting. Either way, he felt a wave of sudden force, powerful enough to throw him back through the air.…

Before Lilac was a terror emerged from the darkest nightmares. Its body was an amalgam of writhing, bloody flesh, with misshapen bits of bone emerging at odd angles. It stood on two legs, but as a human being it was a horrifying parody.The flesh that made it had no particular order—organs pulsed and bled, exposed. Eyes poked out from parts of its body, still blinking, while broken skulls formed sharp teeth in its jaws. It was so large it had to crawl forward on its hands-and-knees, leaving a black trail…

Rick looked away from her, hiding his fear. That might have helped him if she was a pony, or something remotely similar. Unfortunately for the bug, Amie could still see his emotions. She could see his thoughts too, if she pushed hard enough. She didn't though—probing into someone's mind without their permission felt like a violation. Her loyal bugs deserved better."Where is Wes?" she repeated. "It's not like him to run off for no reason. Did he go out for groceries?""No." Rick hurried across the room,…
