The world seemed drenched. Every rain droplet felt like hammers as it hit my white coat and damped my violet main. Looking only through the gates of the abundant refuge, no one is aloud to leave accept for the Wonderbolts looking for survivors of the attack.

Ten years from the present, Ponyville looks quite different from before. The village is deserted and there is no sign of anyone except for the zombie ponies that roam the surface of the village. Everyone is afraid to go back because their too scared they'll be caught and surfer the same fate. So they take shelter on the outskirts of Ponyville in the guarded assembly as they are still searching for a cure to evoke the one's who are lost in the realm of the undead.

Abandoning my shop was heart breaking. Loosing everything I worked on I could never forget. But we are determined to change that. The rebellion was never going to stop fighting until the dictator of Equestria and had lost his power. Citizens of the kingdom must stay at the refuge until then.

The building was divided into different sections. The pony division, pegasus division, unicorn division, and the commingled division were all different branches of the hideout wear a certain breed stayed. The rest of the branches were for other things.

Pinkie Pie was able to have a party every now and then in the eating hall. She always helped brighten up the spirits of ponies in the resistance, especially Luna.

Ever since Celestia was turned into a soulless corpse; Luna became our new leader.

Everyone was called to the meeting room when she made the announcement. She has been planning to venture beyond the assembly to find a solution to turn back the ones who were demised. But in order to do that, she needed a special group. Only several were chosen to company her; mainly the ones who knew enough about Twilight Sparkle. As if I didn't know who she was going to choose that day...

We needed her intelligence to help us. She had been working on a equation to reverse the magic that did this. When she finally discovered the spell, she went to the kingdom with a several others.

No one ever made it back and her concept was lost somewhere in Equestria. Her notion of finding a cure was our only chance, but she was a zombie now, along with so many others.

All poor Apple Bloom had was old Granny Smith. Apple Jack, Big Mac, and the rest of her family was gone.

It was still surprising to a lot of ponies what happened to Apple Jack. She was one of the most toughest ponies in Equestria. Her being defeated was enough.

Rainbow Dash could fly the fastest in the most powerful, extreme colors and could never be snatched by anyone. How this could happen to her; i'll never be able to know.

Even kindest of ponies were gone. Poor Fluttershy also became apart of that bastard's army... and my Sweetie Belle. Loosing her was the worst. If there was anything I could do; it would be worth it as long as it helped her.

Turning away from the gate, a large herd began to arrive. Every pony is the refuge had come to watch us set out on our trip. My eyes were pinned on the giant silver conveyance, brought by members of the Wonderbolts who were accompanying our group. All of the Wonderbolts were either coming with us or already gone searching for anyone who endured the outbreak. Luna had asked Mayor Mare to watch over the refuge while we were away. All of the royal guards were staying to protect the assembly from being assaulted.

"Rarity!".

In the crowd, a vibrant pink pony was waving her hoof at me.

Hey, Pink. I say, trotting towards her.

Hiya! she smiled with an excited tone.

Have you seen anyone yet? I say.

Well... a few of the Wonderbolts are here, and I think I saw Derpy in the eating hall this morning. Pinkie says.

What about Spike? I ask.

Nope... but he's gotta be around here somewhere. she says, looking around.

When Spike confessed his love to me, I had to make it clear that WE and US weren't going to happen. He's a great dragon, but I always thought of him as a friend and nothing more. Its easy to see he still has feelings for me, but no matter what, our relationship won't change. It was harder then it first seemed to let him know that, but he'll get over it eventually.

Attention everyone! Luna yelled.

"Five years ago, an epidemic was cast upon Equestria to where everyone here has lost something precious... but this now will stop. Together, the resistance with go against Discord and take back what is ours!"

The crowd began to applause.

"Remember these names. They are the names of the fierce soldiers who will be fighting Discord for the sake of your lost friends. When I call your name, please report to center field.".

"Soarin Sapphire".

"Spitfire Joy Flames".

"Blaze Amber".

"Fire Streak"

"Fleet Foot Snow".

"Lightning Streak".

"Misty Waters".

"Silver Lining".

"Surprise Lime".

"Wave Chill".

"Airheart Skye Wings".

"April Raina Showers".

"Blossom Forth".

"Blue Skies".

"Blueberry Muffin".

"Bon Voyage".

"Icy Rain".

"Dust Devil".

"Electric Blue".

"Endless Clouds".

"Orange Box".

"Rarity Juliet Amethyst".

"Pinkamena Diane Pie".

"Derpy Lois Hooves".

Along the gate, everyone was there. All that was needed was one dragon. "And Spike Green".

My eyes quickly scanned the crowd. Through the fuss of the herd, he finally came as he spirited to his spot.

Spike had changed. He wasn't a small little dragon. He was bigger; not too big with a long spiky sharp tail.

"All brave members who will do what they can to help us. Wish them luck on their travels in hopes to find Twilight Sparkle's cure.".

Everyone began to cheer as the gates had began to open.

I gave him a questionable look. Spike... where the hell have you been? I whispered. He only mouthed out his words, saying i'll tell you later.

We both turned towards the exist, through the sound of the pelting rain beating the ground, we all left the assembly for the first time in years...
