Jackie did not get a chance to explore the ruins of Midgard again for a few weeks. There was much to do that was more practical—such as spreading her bats enough that they could all find food. The citizens of Mundi had been so sheltered by life there that only the handful of refugees in her group had anything close to practical experience. She would take a former human who had actually lived in the world outside, even sheltered by modern society, over bats that hadn’t even left their homes in years.At…-

It had to be at least two in the morning, maybe later. It was hard to know without a clock. Their entire group huddled together in the center of the little bedroom, hanging on Jacob's every word. He was still a little dazed, his mind turning over everything Sunset had told him in the hall. He had rushed back immediately to share it with his friends—they had as much right to know as he did."Before you explain it Jacob, think about how you feel right now." Harley folded her arms, looking stern. "Don't try…-

Golden Wind spent the next few days in recovery and celebration with the other ponies. Equestria might’ve still been enslaved, and the Storm King still sat on his throne, but for the first time, they had a major victory under their belts.Even from a hospital bed, watching it felt like seeing the ponies of Equestria finally come alive again after so long as sleepwalking zombies, going lifelessly from one kind of suffering to the next.His teammates all came to visit—even Danny, who had refused to leave…-

Ryan flicked the flashlight through the air ahead of him, scanning the room as rapidly as he could. He'd seen the indistinct nightmare-shape that hunted Paris, so at least he knew what to look for. He twitched faintly at every noise, whether it be the squelching of Kaelynn's wet shoes or Jordan heaving himself up onto the platform behind him. Anything they did might give them away, or else wake some nightmare-thing dozing in the gloom.The others joined them on the platform one after another, and still…-

Shiloh had been in hundreds of Pokémon battles over the course of her career. As she rose through the ranks, that meant seeing more and more powerful attacks, moves that would cause swift and painful death to any human caught in the crossfire. But never in her career had those attacks been aimed at her. An attack like that meant certain death. She heard the crash of thunder, felt the air blasting around her—but no pain. She opened one eye, and found the world stained pink. They were in a shield. Energy…-

“I’ve already explained, you can’t get in yet. Reactor is in pre-start sequence.”Moriah paced back and forth by the parked Hummingbird, growing increasingly frustrated. For instance; she wasn’t really “by” the Hummingbird, since they had been told to retreat to a distance of 500 meters or greater, while the HPI people did something remotely using the something or whatever. She hadn’t really caught any of it. It didn’t bother her there were pre-flight checks to run, didn’t bother her…-

Lilac Empathy was not quite alone as she entered the antechamber. There was a pavilion waiting here, erected just beside the metal door. She'd seen its like before—many layers of transparent cloth, and the smell of strange incense. Beneath it all was the faint smell of decay, of uncovered graves and rotting meat. The smell covered it only so well.As she stepped into the room, ponies appeared from beside the tent. There were at least a dozen, each wearing the strange Inquisitor masks and armor under their…-

Blake Hodges knew a desperate situation when he saw one.It wasn't like leading a group of clandestine, urban explorers had ever been an entirely safe way to spend his time. If anything, the danger was part of the appeal of the hobby. Only an urban explorer could venture down where law enforcement, dangerous gases and structural collapse, were only the beginning of the danger. But going somewhere that others hadn't seen for decades, maybe even centuries was a thrill that could be matched by little else.…

Twilight's eyes darted between the soldier and his weapon, eyes narrowing. If it were anything like the ones the other humans used, it couldn't be terribly threatening. But killing one of the guards here would not improve their odds to negotiate a peaceful release."We're not a threat to you," she said, turning her hands toward him. Her other friends all followed suit, freezing in place. "We've come to talk about the baby you're holding downstairs. Nopony has to get hurt."Twilight couldn't possibly miss the…-
