The pony sitting at the desk set down his quill in deep red magic, turning to look at them. He was—Twilight almost couldn’t look away.Twilight Sparkle had met plenty of attractive stallions since visiting Ponyville—Applejack’s older brother was built like a house, and could actually pull one if he wanted to. But so many of the Ponyville locals were like that—rugged, unrefined, raw. This Regolith was an entirely different kind of attractive. In his bright red eyes, Twilight saw a depth of…-

Dear Journal,We picked up the pieces. No, I don’t just mean cleaning up the damage to our house (that took a freakin’ long time though). I mean putting our lives back together after all the insanity that’s been taking place. Nice to get a day of respite from all that.I spent last night alone in our base, a base covered in refuse on every floor. I heard the dogs barking at night and I was afraid they might get in and get me. Is that even a thing they do? Food has got to be getting scarce out there.…-

A single pokémon waited near the base of the steps, stirring from a quiet catnap. Timeltek! Liz closed the distance in a few bounding strides, shifting without Hayden's intention. Of course she could have resisted the transformation, it did take both of them to change form. But Liz's special relationship with Timeltek was hers too. She lost a few inches and got a lot dirtier. But her nose made that part clear to her already, she was filthy! Liz floated past Timeltek on both sides, rubbing up…-

Everything hurt—one of her back legs so badly that she was certain it was broken. It was so much easier just to sleep.You have a mission, she could almost hear her old self saying, in that mature, deep voice. The voice of an astronaut who had trained his entire life to be an explorer, who had mastered the principles of…-

Lane's information from the Kanto soldier proved correct—Mt. Battle was more dangerous than anywhere else in Orre. There were hundreds of wild Pokémon milling about the structure from the outside, each one staking claim to nonsensical little plots of territory. It shifted constantly, with the flash of elemental energy and Pokémon attacks lighting the forest like a strobe. Lane didn't fight her way in. With Elisa's help, she probably could have. But she just didn't have the energy to…-

Lightning Dust had planned to visit the hospital every few days, to make sure the ponies in charge didn’t find more ways to screw over the filly she’d rescued. At first she managed to keep this up, bringing small gifts of sweets to add a little variety to the filly’s hospital food diet. But less than a week in, wildfires far up north necessitated every available weatherpony (including her) to fly up with as much moisture as they could to stem the flames and protect Equestria’s countryside.It took…

The world basically ended when Charybdis finally rose from the sea.Ancient writers of the human world had long speculated about such abominations, and the reign of madness and ecstasy they might bring. Those ancient writers had foreseen the destruction that they would bring to every nation, as their servants rose and brushed aside the organic life like dust in a breeze. There were no Elder Signs, no supernatural means by which the desperate defenders might easily overcome. Their enemy outnumbered them, had…-

Jordan wasn't unaccustomed to pain. It wasn't like the governments of various cities and townships all over the world were spiteful or malicious with the places they didn't want people to go.

Those were easy, his friends just weren't careless.But the second (and much larger) class of forbidden places, those were dangerous. Some were made of toxic chemicals and needed respirators to visit.…-

Kyle followed Akiko down into the parts of the lodge she'd never seen before. The walls seemed to close in around them as she moved, though of course the stone and cement couldn't be moving. But there was magic in the stones, magic that responded to their steps, wrapping around them like a straitjacket with each foot they traveled. She should probably be thinking more rationally—would Monday really want her to walk down into captivity to save their own life?Probably, she'd met them on the deep web. They…-

Firefly was not the pony to cut through the rubble and finally dig up Lilac's shelter. This time she obeyed Luna's instructions, staying well back from the magical excavation. She had nothing like the power the Alicorn could wield, and getting into her way only gave the princess more to distract her.At least the whole mine hadn't collapsed, or else they might never have found their way to Lilac's shelter in time. It was only one specific room, which Risk's dad had called the “throne chamber.” Even from…-
