The crime scene at the tracks was unfathomable as ponies in suits, guards and doctors examined the scene. Some were looking through the pieces of debris. Princess Celestia was on the scene as she approached a medical tent. Nurse Red Heart exited the tent carrying an unreadable expression. Princess Celestia looked down at her and asked. "Report Nurse."

"She's dead your majesty. We tried our best to keep her alive with our magic so she can talk. But she lost a lot more blood and any organs that were damaged were beyond repair. The only bits of information we were able to get out of her was some kind of train and a strange pegasus." She explained.

Princess Celestia nodded in understanding. "Put her in a body bag. We still need to find any members of her family. It would only be there that we decide if she even deserves a funeral or a cremation."

Princess Celestia walked away from the scene. After she found a secluded area, she cried. Something she hasn't stopped doing since she learned of what happened to her student. "Don't worry Twilight. You can rest easy now. The lessons you've learned and inspired will never be forgotten."

Starlight Glimmer awoke in a strange place. The last she remembered were the distance sounds of hooves heading towards her, then nothing. She then realized she was not outside anymore and she was back in one piece. She could only ask herself, did someone save her or did she die and she's in some afterlife. Looking around she noticed two rows of benches and windows. She then realized she was in a long railroad passenger coach as she felt vibrations and could hear the sounds of wheels on rails.

"Hello? Anypony here?"

Suddenly the doors behind her open. There stood Time Lapse. "Hello Starlight."

Starlight felt scared as she backed up. Time Lapse just chuckled. "Oh Starlight, I'm not your eternal punishment, but they are." He said pointing to the door behind her.

The doors behind Starlight opened and there stood Applejack and Rainbow Dash. They both looked like zombies with sharp teeth, were growling with rage, and looking at Starlight like a lion staring at an antelope with hunger. "Oh yes Starlight. These two will be your traveling buddies for quite sometime. Enjoy your punishment trip on the train to eternal pain in lower Tartarus."

Starlight Looked at them with fear before quickly turning back to Time Lapse. "My WHAT on the train to WHERE?!"

But unfortunately for her Time Lapse opened a portal and stepped through before closing it. Starlight nervously turned to the two monstrous mares. Starlight could only smile nervously. "Uh forgive me?"

Rainbow Dash leapt in the air and immediately started attacking the screaming Starlight.

Rarity trotted inside her house after a busy day. It had been a few days since her near suicide attempt. Ever since that night she was attending therapy and was spending more time with her family and of course sending and receiving letters to and from Sassy Saddle and Coco Pommel. Of course there was someone she really couldn't repay more than the beast that stopped for her.

Speaking of which she could hear a faint ghost like whistle in the night from an open window. Rarity could've sworn she could also hear screaming as well. She shrugged it off and sang a little song.

"They still say at night, when the wind is blowing right..."

"You can hear the lonesome whistle from that train."

"How could I know, that I would miss him so.”

"Old Samson was his name."
