Meanwhile Twilight has moved the mysterious cyan pony into a room in her palace as discreetly as possible, with only a trusted few who know she is there. She prays that the Wonderbolts arrive with the lichen on time.

Unfortunately the four Pegasus find themselves in a very powerful icy storm. After receiving directions form the crystal empire and news that it will not die out in a week, they headed straight into it. The lichen would only be found there and they were running out of time. They quickly got separated and are forced to land. Not long after landing Spitfire comes across the lichen latching itself onto an exposed rock. She signals the team to bail with a red flare she had on her, then flew up and out of the storm, after which she passed the lichen to Rainbow Dash, since she is the fastest of the lot. Rainbow takes it and reaches Canterlot in a hurry.

One day early, Zecora had quickly prepared the cure and given it to the mare, who will awaken in about a days’ time. Satisfied, Twilight leaves the pony in the room to welcome the rest of the Wonderbolts back while Rainbow goes to rest. When the rest of the team arrives, completely out of breath, she finds out that Fleetfoot isn’t with them. Worried, twilight sends 5 royal guards after her as the remaining Wonderbolts rest.

In due time, the mare wakes up, and has a panic attack upon seeing Twilight – who had been waiting for her to awaken. Twilight tells her to calm down and reassures her that she is safe in her castle, then asks for her name. The mare confesses with a shocked expression that she doesn’t remember – in fact, she doesn’t remember anything about how she got in the metal ‘egg’ and why she was there. The rest of Twilight’s friends arrive later and express their disappointment at the news, especially Rainbow Dash. They decide to let her out of the castle and monitor her using a buddy system. Rarity gives her the name Sapphire Prism, as she currently doesn’t have one, which she gladly accepts.
