Lotus waited by the cliff as the pegasi descended, backing only far enough away that she wouldn't be so close to the precarious edge. Not that she was afraid of heights exactly, but... she didn't have wings. The last thing she needed was a fatal fall only a few minutes before her rescue!She took a few seconds to straighten her mane as best she could, settle her saddlebags onto her shoulders.Then they arrived. Two of the three remained in the air, about twenty feet up. They circled slowly around, as though…-

Dominic glared into the tub, expression unreadable. But despite how much time had passed since last they were together, Lane thought she could feel something familiar from him. He was frustrated with her lackadaisical attitude, but only because of how much he cared. He broke the stare first, glancing briefly down at Lane's chest. His wings buzzed nervously, and he lifted suddenly into the air, hovering right up into her face. "That worked with the club, Lane. This was just a hobby for us…-

They came for her a few hours later. First the metal taps on the ceiling, striking repeatedly where she was confined. She tapped back, even though Lotus was so overwhelmed she desired no motion at all. Yes she was still there, still alive. Whether she deserved to be after what she had brought into Equestria—that was for someone else to decide.We could've trapped her. We could've put things right. But not anymore. What did burning that book mean? Magical things of course, but how could she know what they…

Quinn needed a long time to study for this task. Personas were a complex science, even among the mew. Their creation was a lost art, vanished to workshops of their ancestors called "Starforges." They were so much more than simple AI assistants, churned out in any number of corporations in his own world. Preserving one would not be easy. More than difficult, creating a true "backup" of the persona was impossible by any definition he knew. But the persona's true self could be removed…-

Lane levitated the doors shut, plunging the room into gloom. There was still a single shaft of sunlight shining straight down from an opening in the roof, but that was all. It was quite a flimsy door to be between her and a crowd of half a hundred people. Lane settled onto the ground, rising up onto her hind-legs. That was the first part of being human, right? Standing up. She concentrated, trying to feel her old body the way she'd felt being a shaymin. But there was no one to copy in here. She…

Searing Gale moved through Hono like the wall of an oncoming hurricane. Incredible magic radiated from her, every step another grim conquest. Centuries of history, art, and growth all burned before her, consumed in the Nirik's bottomless need. No matter how much she fueled the fires, they always demanded more.Her attention wasn't for Lotus Cinder, not more than any other kirin here. She might not recognize me. We don't know how well she can see between worlds. Maybe I can blend in.She might, but her…

Emergency lights flashed in the accelerator, boots stomped down the hall, and occasionally peered into the viewing room. The first few groups came from Team Plasma, with white uniforms marked with their distinctive emblem. Yet this time, Quinn was ready for them. Their minds were open and unprotected, helpless before his manipulation. He showed them an empty room. "Nothing here. No sign of whatever attacked Bates," one of them said over the radio. Quinn's antennae twitched, and the little…

They didn't continue on to Saffron right away, as much as Lane wanted to. But just because she had exhausted all her strength while flying. There was no denying how wrung-out and tired her body had become. She needed the rest. Even Elisa, who had spent almost all of the trip safely inside the pack, needed some time to recover. Dominic just vanished, practically mid-sentence as he promised to see them again in the morning. "There are safe places to sleep underground," Cedar said, gesturing…

Time passed in Hono. One day turned into another, while they waited for the princess to rescue them. Soon all three of them had duties to perform. Iron worked in the air, flying high to trim branches and other areas that the kirin could not reach easily. As soon as the kirin realized Gus couldn’t fly very well yet, they sent him off to work with the butcher instead. He was still practicing, and he would keep getting better.Gus didn't seem to mind that—if anything, he returned from each day of work with…

Quinn didn't stay in Absentia for very long, even by the standards of the immortal Mythical Pokémon. Within a few hours of his arrival, he started sensing discontent from the Pokémon passing outside the little capital building where he, Stella, and Cedrin gave their account of what they'd done. Soon he sensed enough anger through those doors that he paused the conference to retrieve his daughter and keep her with him through the rest of their conversation. Vitari hadn't harmed Rose while…
