Maybe they were captives, maybe they were being protected from a government that would turn them into laboratory animals. It was possible all Kyle had managed to do was change the who of where they ended up under the microscope, rather than escaping from it.But even if they were captives, living in a sturdy dome with clear walls and soldiers all around, Kyle was still going to take advantage of some time to practice.Her light spell was easy, becoming more and more second-nature the more she cast it. But…-

Quinn stared into the mirror, running his comb through his perfect hair for the tenth time. "Brai?" asked a voice from just behind him, interrupting Quinn's careful attention. He glanced back at the Pokémon, which lingered just a few steps behind him in the narrow bathroom. The Pokémon carried something under his arm—a green leather folio, with his full name embossed near the bottom. Pages packed close inside, bound by several matching rubber bands. "You're telling me I'm…-

Amie went to her quarters after that, she needed to be alone to think. Her mission was obviously virtuous, but the odds against her seemed overwhelming. She couldn't turn to Equestria for help, the ponies thought they were monsters and wanted them dead. She couldn't retreat to her camp and organize a united front for survival, because camp wanted her dead too. Then there was Ivy, who might find the key to sending everypony home, or might betray her directly to the princess on a whim. Bud might help them…-

Blair knew she was on the right track.She'd known it for weeks, maybe months. But this time, she was certain. Three times she had propped the 14th District, located deep under Nova Canterlot's incredible concrete pylons. Three times her drones had reported massive cavities filled with organic material, arranged in orderly rows, before vanishing from the grid.Now at long last she had learned all she could from the electronic eyes of disposable drones, and it was time to go down for real.She dressed the part…-

Of course there was no telling for certain just how long they might be waiting for their friends to return. According to the locals, the Worldgate was so unsafe that a whole team had gone through it and never returned. Maybe planning for what to do once they had everyone back was a fool's task—maybe Vesper and Blake were the only ones left.There was little to do while they waited, other than traveling briefly down to the ferry station to use the bits to arrange transportation back to Equestria for the…-

Even without making an auditory sound, that speaker had a great way of inspiring confidence. Degenerate mutation. Yet curiosity kept him from trying to flee, along with an ample helping of fear. There in that open doorway, several figures appeared, each one a little larger than himself, with fur in different shades of pink. They were Mew, though not like the tiny one that he was protecting. These were larger, more developed. Their tails were several times the size of his body, with sharp eyes that jumped…

Kaelynn passed through the opening in the world to much the same sensations as her first time. First a current that she couldn't resist, blinding her with light that shouldn't be there. She spun in the water, only this time she had strong fins to right herself. She'd adapted to the absence of her legs so quickly that she managed to keep on course as she passed through.She could even mark the exact moment that her body changed, an impossible instant where she was suddenly holding her breath again. Where the…

Ryan wasn't the first through the Worldgate, he never was. The back of the group was always the safest place to stand—let the bigger, stronger members be up front, and the brunt of whatever danger waited for them.Besides, being in back gave him time to move slowly, and appreciate the differences as he passed through. And there were many.There was no rush of gravity and current pulling him through to the other side. There was no flash, no instantaneous moment of realization that he'd returned to his…

James twitched her wings one after another, shaking them against her side. But the irritation only got worse. She whimpered, and this time she was loud enough that Lightning Dust heard her. The pony hovered in the air over their house, pushing bits of cloud in her mouth. This was apparently a weekly process for ponies who lived in cloud-houses, replacing bits that had drifted away and generally giving the structure attention. But how could she question her when the results were obviously successful.…-

Hayden never transformed faster than in that moment. She shrank back into her new adventuring clothes, which were already at the proper size. Her tail slipped through the opening at the back, and she was herself again. In time to turn and find a stranger waiting there. A singular stranger, with no human attached. A mew floated near the rocks, their paws so close they could touch the grass. "Much better. Your transformations were... impressive, child of strangers. But you should practice them on…-
