Energy, the world lives and dies by energy.

It was a massive release of energy that created Equestria.

Then destroyed Equestria, and created the Wasted West.

Grinded Gears has lived his entire life in the dry, dusty Wasted West. Where ponies are in constant war over dwindling resources, and the only one who survive are the ones who band together or are fast enough to scavenge for themselves.

Gears never liked to socialize, perhaps once a month he'll sneak through Diamond dog territory and dodge Trixe's Order patrols to the Pon-3's compound to trade. But on this trip, he gets more than just a bargain for expired dog food.

He'll be given the deal of a lifetime.
