New Equestria

Sweetie Belle gazed into the eyes of her foal hood friend.

"...Apple bloom?" She said with the no longer squeaky and high pitched voice, but a mellow and seducing one. "How are you... Why are you...."  She ran to a large cushioned chair and buried her face in the pillow. "I-I... When we first saw what Twilight had done... I-I took over the boutique but left.... You stayed..... and Scootaloo ran away.... I... I-I'm sorry, I have to process this."

Apple Bloom stared at her. She had a longer mane, a larger horn, and had the Diamond Dog jacket. What disturbed her most was the Cutie Mark; A gem inside of a bear trap, Apple Bloom calculated what it meant. She came up with Deception,

"....Sweetie Belle, why are you here?" Apple Bloom asked her friend.

Sweetie Belle gazed at her for a moment, then sat down to tell her story.

"...Sweetie Belle...Sweetie Belle, that's awful."

Sweetie belle wiped the tears from her eyes.

"...Thank you. Now tell me, why are you here?"

Apple Bloom flipped her hat and let it slip off. On it was the badge, Sweetie Belle's eyes went wide when she saw it, and took it into her hooves.

"But... But the Resistance was destroyed!"

"No. The leader survived. She tasked me with finding anyone, anyone willing to join the Resistance. Please, Sweetie Belle, Twilight has taken so much from us. Happiness, our family, everything. We need to fight back. Please, help me. If we never retaliate, we'll never be free."

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom stared at each other.

Slowly, she reached for the badge and stared at it.

She quietly muttered something repeated ever since she was a filly.

"...I'm going to avenge you, Rarity. No matter what it takes, I am going to avenge you. Nothing gets in my way, nothing shall stop me. I love you, sis. Always have. That day has always been burnt into my memory. I swear, I will never rest until the deed has done. Twilight will pay."
