The destruction of Luna’s shield spell did no damage to the city.But now there were hundreds of ships, so close that even Hayden’s worst cannon crews couldn’t have missed them if they tried. Hayden watched as almost every shot scored a kill, watched as ship after ship tumbled to the ground outside the city. But some kept moving, crashing down onto the walls or tearing up houses right on the edge.Hayden winced with each crash, praying that none of her own men were down there to be crushed under the…-

Amie was in agony.Her body was small, much smaller than it had been for a long time. Every limb hurt, every inch of her unnaturally soft black coat. This was what it felt like to die.At first she saw almost nothing, only a plain wood ceiling and the steady white glow of LED lights. But she felt something else, motion moving through the cot beneath her and the floor under that. There were others still alive out there, where she wanted desperately to be.Amie inhaled, short and sharp. Her breath brought more…-

Relax and heal 73% A week went by on the surface of Proximus B. At first Twilight did her best to keep up with every member of the crew, since they spent most of their time arranging the fields and planting all the seeds they’d brought. It was nowhere near to the entire stockpile, but it would keep them fed for months if the crop came in. Not to mention enough Geneseed to wake the rest of the crew.The alien soil had a strange smell to it, like every scoop had been ground with nuts and ash. But the…-

Time blurred. Elise couldn’t say how long it took for Harley to return, flanked by a squadron of guards in gold uniforms. They brought stretchers, one for each pony, and forced even her to lie down. They passed through a dark temple, through twisting caverns lit only by flashlights in the gloom. Mesmerizing lights flickered in front of her eyes. An hour or two of uneasy sleep on the Temple floor had done very little to overcome the fatigue of battle. Eventually, she slept.For most of her life, Special…-

Rose might not know exactly what she was doing with these strange bodies, but some things didn't need much instruction. She rested her hand on Tracy's shoulder, looking up at him. "Is that what you expected?" "Nope." He smiled anyway, smiled at her. To think that Rose had believed he was the first wave of another invasion. "Thanks for being there anyway. Felt easier with someone else around. Doesn't feel as much like I'm losing my mind. But I won't blame you if you don't want to see any more of my…-

Lotus lay still, but not in the endless silence that threatened to swallow her. There was a sound here, repeating every second or two, exactly the same. Other sounds sometimes joined it—distant voices, the sound of shoes on something hard. She could've been there forever, and maybe she would've. Except that something touched her shoulder, and a familiar voice whispered.Iron Feather. "Stay as long as you need. We'll be waiting here when you're ready."She twitched, rolling to one side. Of all the creatures…-

Hayden wasn't sure exactly where they were going at first. That was among the effects of her transformations—they brought changes both internal and external, warping her perception and her thoughts. She knew on some level they had somewhere important to go, and she definitely remembered that they didn't want to get caught. For a few seconds she tried tucking her tail, but abandoned that idea quickly. Eevee tails were too big. She had to keep Eleanor safe, she'd made up her mind about…-

Summer stared up at Corey, at first so overcome with disbelief that she didn't even move. Yes, Brooks had made it clear that they would be sending someone in. But shouldn’t it have been some kind of scientist, or at least a doctor? "You weren't the one I expected," she said, probably sounding incredibly stupid. But she wasn't quite self-conscious enough to care.He laughed amicably, glancing from her to Sharp, nodding politely to him, before waving one hand towards Emerald. "And I didn't expect to lose…-

Vesper knew on paper that they were traveling to the capital. This was the center of a nation, maybe the largest country in this entire world. It was bound to be impressive. But even knowing this on paper, she was completely unprepared for what they found.As the Bright Hawk approached the city from below, she finally realized what she was looking at. This was a more subdued version of Mount Aris, where the city had been built into incongruous mountainside, somehow able to support itself despite the…-
