Under the moonlit sky, Pinkie Pie and Twilight scout for survivors. Suddenly, Applejack battles an infected pony. Pinkie kicks the creature away, leaving Applejack unharmed. 'Hey, I'm okay!' Applejack reassures them. Pinkie cheers at their friend's safety, while Twilight remains silent, haunted by the memory of Fluttershy's initial infection.
