Ten years in the future, Equestria is now a post-apocalyptic world ruled by a dark entity. With Princess Celestia and the Mane Six gone, there was no pony left to stop this threat. Applebloom; now a grown mare and leader of the resistance, has decided to travel back to the past to prevent the catastrophe from happening, even at the cost of not returning to her own timeline.

Author's Note: I had the idea of this story based on a dream similar to this plot. And to avoid confusion with the two Appleblooms, I'll nickname the main character of this story Future Applebloom. The story also takes place between after Season 2 and before Season 3.
