It's been 3 days since Rin's execution. For once, Sanctuary and The Kingdom were at peace. We kept the trade and Meiko became leader of The Kingdom. She says she had big plans for the place. As for the rest of us, we've set up a search for Len with the Kingdom's knowledge.

"If you want to risk your life, fine." Meiko said.

We went to as far as the other city before we had to turn back. We managed to beat the light by an hour. Scootaloo was waiting for us at the gates.

"Well?" She asked me.

"No luck. We're thinking of searching the piers. We haven't been down there yet. Hell, we've never been there." I said back.

We stayed at Sanctuary for the night before thinking on where to head next. Before I could think of anything, Shining called me.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"It's about your sister." He said.

With that, I either expected he'd tell me she was dead, or she'd enter the room. But neither had happened.

"We looked at where she worked. She wasn't there, but we did find this note." Shining handed me a note.

In bold print, it said

KYLE, I TRIED THE HOUSE, NO-ONE WAS THERE. I TRIED CHS, THEY SAID YOU LEFT DURING AN ATTACK. I FOUND PEOPLE NEAR A FARM. I WILL BE THERE.

"Why didn't she sign it?" Shining asked.

"She never signs. I still know her writing. Thank you." I said to him.

"Of course. I hope you find Len." He said.

"I hope you find her." I said.

We got ready to search the pier when something happened with the car.

"What happened?" I asked Coop, our mechanic.

"It looks like a bad hose. We'll need a replacement before we can go looking." He said.

"Great. Now we need to do a search." Blossom said.

"Don't worry. All I need is a working car. We don't even need fuel for it." Coop said.

"What was the name of that mech you had? MEGAS, you said?" I asked him.

"Yep. From what I heard, it coulda saved a ton of lives."

"Yeah, it could've..." I said.

"I got the search." Blossom said as she flew out the walls.

"How you believe in that but not Equestria is beyond me." Sunset said.

"I didn't say that. I just don't wanna go. We persevered this place. We don't know if they fought something like this. For all we know, Equestria could kill us on sight." I said.

"Maybe..." Sunset said.

We waited for Blossom for the past 2 hours. Small problems had to be solved inside while she was gone. Debates, ration clogs, zombies, you know, typical things. We then saw Blosoom lifting, and I mean lifting, the car into the walls.

"Great. This'll do. Thanks Blossom." Coop said.

"Sure." Blossom said.

"So, we'll be able to search the pier?" I asked.

"Yeah. But you should stay here." Rainbow said.

"Is this about me being weak again?" I asked her.

"No, it's just- You've been like a guardian angel for Scootaloo. Something I could never be. She needs you here."

"Alright. I'll stay. But when you find him, if you find him, let me know." I said handing her a C.B.

Me and Scootaloo were in the radio room keeping an eye for transmissions. It was a long day as usual; barely any radio chat at all, no ways of calling out for survivors. But finally, one call broke through.

"Calling all survivors, the stars have aligned, fear the wand, fear the stars, be afraid of them! Avoid the war, stay away from-" The broadcast fizzed back to static.

"What the hell was that?" Scootaloo asked.

"No clue. Try to raise him." I said to her.

She tried calling back to the stranger for an hour, but nothing was heard. We weren't able to keep trying because the C.B went off and Rainbow said it was urgent. So I drove down to the piers and saw Rainbow and a few others near a cabin on the beach.

"A light's in there, we need you down here with us." Rainbow said.

"Alright." I said to Rainbow.

I drove down to the beach and saw the cabin with the other people.

"You ready?" I asked Rainbow.

"Yeah. On three. One... Two..."

I raised my gun in preparation.

"THREE!" Rainbow slammed the door open and charged in.

What we saw next surprised us beyond belief. We didn't see Len on the bed, or in the cabin. Instead, what we saw was a blond figure near the front door with a pistol held to my head.

"Ooooh, myyy God..." I said as I realized who we saw in front of us.

We were waiting for Kyle and the others back at Sanctuary.

"Maybe they found him." Fluttershy said to me.

"Don't worry, Scootaloo. Kyle's probably holed up somewhere. If I know him, he's probably driving back right now." Mom assured me.

We weren't able to talk more because Kyle's car came driving in the gates with a van nearby. We ran down to see what was going on.

"Kyle, are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah. But we found something..." Kyle said.

"What?" Sunset asked.

"Bring her out." Kyle said to Dash.

Suddenly, the back of the van opened and she walked out with someone who we all thought was dead.

"Rin?" I asked.

"Yeah. She said her brother sacrificed himself for her." Kyle said to us.

"What do we do?" Applejack asked.

"We'll lock her in the police station for now. We don't say a word to the Kingdom. If they learn she's alive and here, who knows what could happen?" Kyle asked us.

"I'll take her there." I volunteered.

"Alright. Watch yourself." Kyle said.

"When don't I?" I asked him.
