Rainbow stopped crying, in fact she realized she had stopped a while ago and in fact fallen asleep on the floor again. Her stomach hurt and she noticed finally how hungry she was, the cyan Pegasus got up to search her home for any food it might have. She wondered into every room in hope of a cure to her hunger, nothing. Dash almost wept again at the fact she was out of food and now certain to die up here starving and crying, not like the mare she was, the mare she had been. The dragon roared again, but more distant. Rainbow nodded to herself, it was time to try to escape, ever way, she would be fine. If she got caught, death, something that seemed so, nice right now in the middle of all this. And if she wasn't caught? Food and another week or mourning, not a very good way of life but Dash was sure her friends would want her to live. Rainbow Dash put her saddle on, now ragged and bloody. And opened the door.

Outside, there was nothing. No clouds, no mutants, no dragon. And no Discord. Rainbow looked around in every direction, nothing. Not one speck of anything but her, her cloud home and the ground beneath her. Rainbow spotted the mountain where Canterlot would be, there was nothing there either. A huge gap where much of the mountain, along with the city, was missing.

"Discord must've destroyed the whole area, or moved it to slowly starve out everypony there in some unknown desert." Rainbow muttered. She saw the speck of that dragon flying away, toward the dragon kingdoms. Not toward any sort of battle or Discordian lands. She tilted her head in confusion but soon began to stretched her wings. It would be good to fly once more.

She flapped her feathered wings a few times to make sure they still worked. Then walked of the edge of her home and began to fly to Ponyville.

The ground suddenly, quickly became a, black and red colour, like everything had just, burnt up. Rainbow slowed her pace, everything was gone, no grass trees or houses, where Ponyville would've been, was just a few rows of charred homes and buildings, everything was gone. Rainbow landed outside of the wasteland and cried again, that chaos god had burned everything. She cried for a while, hating more and more.

Suddenly, a voice called out.

"Hey! Pegasus!" Somepony shouted, Rainbow instantly looked up, but was prepared for battle and prepared for death. She looked around to see a. Pony!

The stallion stood on the edge of Ponyville watching Rainbow, he had an eye patch on his right eye and covered in burns and blood, he wore some sort of leather armour and had an axe saddle on. From the looks of it, from under the dirt and blood, he was a blue pony and had shunning green and yellow hair, underneath a small helmet.

"Hey, you!" The pony shouted, Rainbow posed herself ready to attack as the pony began to trot toward her, Rainbow noticed two wings flapping under the saddle and straps. "Wooh. Calm down, I am not going to hurt you." The stallion said, dropping in his tracks. Rainbow relaxed a little but was watching in case more ponies or mutants appeared.

"The name is Eltra. What's your name?" He said. Rainbow Dash paused but gave in to personal hope this wounded warrior was her saviour.

"R-Rainbow Dash." She muttered, sounded a lot like Fluttershy, she let some tears drop at that.

"Cool. Where did you come from?" Eltra asked.

"I have a, a cloud home just south of here." She muttered quietly, her stomach growling at her again.

"So you are just a survivor?" He asked, Rainbow was confused by that but nodded.

"Well I am part of the New Equestrian Order, a task force made to defeat Discord's armies and rebuild Equestria." Eltra said, Rainbow lit up, but didn't show it in case this stallion was false.

"O-Ok." Was all Rainbow could get out.

"You are not much of a talker are you?" Rainbow shock her head.

"Well. Would you like to join us?" Eltra asked.

"There are more of you?" Rainbow asked looking around again.

"Yeah, back at base. I came alone in hope of finding survivors, and I found you. Rainbow." Eltra replied. Rainbow had to trust this stallion. Either way she would die one day. Sooner or later.

"I would be happy to go with you. But, do you have any food?" Rainbow asked. Eltra smiled and throw down a small bag of apples from his side.

"It is all I have, eat up. There is more at base." Eltra replied, Rainbow began to munch into the apples.

"So." Rainbow said whilst eating. "What is with this New Equestrian Order?" She asked.

"We fight Discord's army and are beginning to rebuild Equestria." Eltra replied.

"Not Discord, just his armies?" Dash asked.

"Oh my dear. The Chaos god is dead. Nightmare Moon killed him, herself and everything you see before you almost two weeks ago, I am surprised you didn't hear the explosion."

"Explosion?"

"Yeah. After Celestia fell to Discord's magic Luna became Nightmare Moon again and killed near on everything besieging Canterlot, then let off the most catastrophic spell ever made, destroying the god and turning everything in a twenty mile radius to dust." Eltra explained. So Discord was dead, and every pony was beginning to rebuild and fight Discord's army.

"So. New Equestria it is then." Rainbow replied, eating the last apple.

"The Fall of a Nation is over Ms Dash, now is the time for our revenge."
