Hayden stepped outside into a ruin of the griffon military unit. Corpses were spread around them in two rings—the first, facing inward, with weapons all nearby. The second facing away, without their weapons.The Blackwings killed the ones attacking, then they killed the ones running away.Princess Luna stopped beside her, staring at the dead. Then she looked to the side, where the Blackwings had gathered. Not all of them stood in ranks—there were still scouts watching the city, and a few remained in the…-

Star Orchid found the familiar shape of the Harrow appearing in the distance to be a strangely comforting sight. It had only ever held Equestria’s undead armies in her lifetime—but she knew it didn’t now. What would another flying pony city look like, with the rebellion designing it instead of Equestria? Hopefully nice, since until they beat Equestria it would be the only home Star Orchid would ever have.She crammed in beside Windbrisk in their single window to stare at the ship as they approached,…-

The colt stared back at her, making the same bewildered face she had seen more and more often. Now maybe she was starting to realize what it meant, however much she might not want to admit it. "You've been a mare, all this time? And an... important one.""Yeah, well... maybe." She shuffled, backing slowly away from him. "It doesn't matter. Just keep calling me Lux. I'm just trying to help you. Don't go into the gross public shower, you can use mine. Then you can pass your inspection with flying colors! More…-

“You really plan on doing this?”Silver looked up from his charcoal drawing, several sheets of parchment scattering around him. He winced at the thought of putting them all back in order, then slowly spun around to face the speaker. Magpie, obviously. Nopony else would leave their posts, not with an attack potentially coming any second.He turned, and sure enough there she was in the doorway. She hadn’t removed her armor—who would, with an enemy at the gates? But she didn’t have a rifle nearby…-

Harlequin stood against the bugs most broken by the invasion. Even in total darkness, she could feel them coming, clawing their way up through cracks in the rock, shoving aside rubble and piles of the dead. It was probably a mercy that she couldn’t see them. Their shells would’ve gone white by now, their eyes sightless, and their limbs half-transformed into terrible weapons.She imagined what they looked like as they closed in around something that wasn’t strong like themselves, wings spread. She…-

Twilight could've spent months tinkering with this new transformation spell and the strange species that was its result. Ideally her dimensional piercing equipment would be outfitted with something like what Clover had done to the mirror portal, but more versatile, converting all who set hoof through it into the dominant species of the world they visited. Such a conversion might even fool native spellcasters, at least long enough to learn as much as they wanted and get home.But there would be no chance for…-

August 12, 2015Dear Diary,We’re here. After another long day of travel, we're finally here.It's a good thing the cars on the road at the time apparently didn't stick around, because otherwise driving here with trucks and buses might be impossible (guess we could still off-road, but that sounds like it would take forever). Roads are all clear. Well, there's litter, rubber bits, maybe a few tiny branches that've blown into the roads, but nothing that makes driving too hard. Probably won't stay this way. I…-

Amie wasn't sure exactly how long she spent studying underground in Sonoma, surrounded by the gently pulsating eggs of the next generation of orange bugs. Dozens of changelings came and went in the background, tending to the eggs in ways that probably made sense to them, but that Amie did not understand.At no point did she ever feel safe in the presence of Kaya. This was an incredibly powerful, dangerous being, one that could kill her without much effort if she wanted. She might survive because the…-

Land and farm 83% After their last experience on the surface of Zerzura, Twilight half-expected some kind of mounted gun to emerge from the soil to shoot the Prospector to pieces, or maybe a gigantic metal deer would emerge from the trees and trample them. But nothing like that happened, and the prospector descended slowly and calmly on the largest bare patch of ground in the area they were calling the “safe zone.”“So this is the map,” Twilight said, passing out printouts about an hour after the…-

They didn’t have far to go to reach the portal. A little crawling for the humans, and they found themselves in a much smaller cavern, quite warm and comfortable despite the chill of the temple behind them. There was a great deal more cuneiform writing on the walls they couldn’t read. Eric still had his working tablet and took pictures of each one. He didn’t really want to—nothing seemed to matter right now, but he forced himself to move. Danni wouldn’t want me to give up. She’d want us to be…-
