9:35 Hours, October 10, 2544

New Ponyville, Planet Pegasi Delta

"Darling, I am afraid there is no other choice I'll stay behind don't worry I'll be fine." Rarity hugged Twilight trying to ease her fears but Twilight knew she was lying when Rarity pushed her inside the lift.

"It's in your hooves now Twilight."

Twilight looked at Rarity as she looked back at her and smiled as the lift door closed shut. The lift groaned to life as it began to ascend, Twilight eyes slowly filled with tears with each floor it passed until finally the lift reached its destination. The lift door hissed opened there Applejack stood in the corner of the room relaying their position for evacuation on her Com. Fluttershy tended to her wounded friend Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash stood by armed with a Shotgun ready to protect her friends.

"This is a message to any UESC ships in the area we are in desperate need of evac we have Dr. Sparkle, our location is top floor of the P.O.N.I building in the center of New Ponyville. I repeat -"

KA-BOOOM!

The lights from the ceiling flickered as dust tricked down from the vicious shakes of the explosion. Twilight noticed the lift was going to give way she immediately hopped, skipped and jumped out as the lift fell being swallowed by the darkness below. Applejack helped Twilight up and immediately noticed the grief-stricken look on unicorn face. Applejack attempted to comfort Twilight but went back down to the floor busting in tears.

"Twi, what happened? Where's Rarity?"

"Rarity she…she…."

Twilight couldn't finish her sentence, the four ponies fell silent they knew the truth, they didn't believe it, they didn't want to believe it. Applejack lowered her hat tears rolling down her cheek, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie cried on each other shoulder and Rainbow stood in disbelief slamming her hoof on the wall.

Rainbow began to sob softly as she faced the wall. "Twilight…how..h-how could you let this happen?"

Applejack shot a mean look at the grieving cyan peagasus. "Rainbow how could you say such a thing! This isn't Twilight fault or anyone fault and you know that!"

Rainbow Dash looke back at Applejack her eyes full or rage. "If Twilight didn't convince us to let her go back and retrieve the FAUSTprogramRaritywould still be alive!"

Twilight struggled to find her words and finally uttered. "I-I'm sorry….."
