The cat led the way to the front door of the building before knocking a few ties. After a few minutes the door cracked open and a familiar voice came out. "What ya want?"

"I brought some friends to see you." The cat replied. "Don't worry. You can trust them."

After a few moments the door opened a little more revealing a disheveled Applejack. She looked over the group before turning to Spike and stepping back with a look of shock and disbelief. After a moment she ushered them in quickly.

Once inside, the group looked around at the wall of weapons. "Wow… you've changed a lot, Applejack. I'm afraid to ask." Spike gulped.

"A lot happened…" Applejack sighed as she went over to a door where something was scratching to get out. "Hold y'alls horses. I'm coming."

"Is Winona in there?" Spike asked. Seeing Applejack flinch, he hung his head. "Oh… sorry… I didn't mean…"

Applejack shook her head. "Ya were trying to help deal with the dragons when it happened…" She sighed before opening the door to reveal a dog that remained Sike of Apple Bloom.

"Bloom?" Spike gasped. Hearing his voice, the bog rushed over and jumped into his arms licking his face.

Seeing this, Applejack smiled and sat on a rocking chair. "I reckon we have a lot to talk about."

Spike sat on the ground and started petting the dog. "Definitely."

Twilight and Applejack soon emerged overlooking a large room with a cauldron that sat in the middle. As the two looked over the room, the door opened as an old ugly two legged female wobbled in followed by a familiar stallion. "Sombra."

"You best remember who is in charge hag." Sombra growled as they approached the cauldron.

"I get rid of those horrible ponies for you and I get to rule the southern portion of this nation." She huffed. "If it wasn't for their army. I would have what I need to wipe them off the face of the map."

Sombra's horn lit, lifting her into the air and turning to face him. "If you attempt something like that. Then I will be the one to end you."

She smiled. "It's refreshing to work with someone as wicked and skilled as myself, for ones." She laughed as he dropped her. "Now what shall we do with the ones we already have in our possession?"

Sombra turned and stomped a hoof with a smile. A moment later a familiar pink pony came into the room with her head hung. "I believe that little potion you came up with would be a good idea. Mixed with my magic. I believe we'll be able to make more like this one."

The old female got to her feet and laughed before moving to a table of chemicals. "I'm a bit low on supplies. But I can easily make enough for a few more ponies." She paused and smiled back at him as his eyes turned to the darkness where Twilight and Applejack were hiding. "Including our little spies."

Twilight gasped as Sombra lit his horn and fired a spell at them. In reflects, Twilight teleported herself and Applejack to the doorway.

"Y'all mind warning a pony when you're going to do that?" Applejack snapped.

"Sorry. But I didn't want to risk you getting hit by his spell." Twilight replied.

"Got a plan?"

Twilight thought as she looked around the room before looking at the two villains as they smiled and started approaching them. "I gave one idea."

"And that is?"

Twilight looked over at Pinkie before lightning her horn. "For now?... RUN!!!!" She called as the two turned and fled down the hallway. The two villains laughed before leaving the pink pony behind and walking after them.

Meanwhile Rainbow sat at the edge of her cave and sighed looking out over the land as a white colt came over. "You know you don't have to wait for him to come back."

Blinking, she looked over and glared at him. "What do you want, pony?"

Sitting next to her, he looked up at the shifting sky. "A lot is happening. And who knows how things will turn out."

"What are you talking about?"

Looking at her he smiled. "Only that you and the others are on different roads that by fate, luck, or accident… have begun crossing paths that may end up either joining together or go different ways forever."

Rainbow looked away and sighed. "So you mean I'll never see him again?"

"That's up to you."

Rainbow closed her eyes and took a deep breath before looking at where he was only a moment ago. Thinking for a moment, she got up and called Ember over. "If I don't come back. You'll be dragon lord."

"What?" She asked as Rainbow put the scepter in Ember's claws.

"I have to go find him before it's too late." Rainbow announced flying off.

Ember thought for a moment before smiling and holding up the scepter. "HEAR ME DRAGONS!!! AS ACTING DRAGON LORD! YOU ARE TO AID RAINBOW DASH AND SPIKE IN REUNITING!" She called before softly adding. "Good luck."
