More recently, though, Skaia-sempai has become DESU Commander (“Daredevil Equestrian Salvation Unit”) and inducted you and the other five planet ponies into its ranks as the first line of defense for the entire world. Which, by the way, is apparently getting smaller. A purple, amorphous enemy is making itself known from the surrounding darkness, and it’s up to the six of you to defeat it. Ordinarily this would be a daunting task, since being a gymnast is a far cry from being a warrior, especially when nothing you do ever seems to please Skaia-sempai. She does sometimes show favor to some of your friends, making you feel flashes of evanescent jealousy, but never to you. Ordinarily you wouldn’t be sure you could stand this new life, so dangerous and so divorced from your former luxury. Ordinarily.
