Equestria...a now wasteland-like world. Buildings are destroyed. Crops are no more. Everypony...gone...all but one. There is a certain energy that roams the place. It could be felt. The spirits...of the fallen ponies...they're still here, thanks to Celestia's last effort to save Equestria. What will happen now? Is there any mortal pony left? Alas! There is one...Janeri. Nopony knows how this one survived...but all that is known...he wants to rebuild Equestria and bring back every fallen pony.

Janeri walked down the empty street of Canterlot where he used to live. The princesses gone, the palace in shambles, and there was nothing but desolation. All Janeri could hear now was the echoes of those who used to live, but perhaps echoes were all he needed.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

There was a certain spirit that seemed to echo Janeri's name. It had a sweet and gentle voice. It could certainly be a princess, since the spirit knew Janeri's name. However, when spirits go insane, they tend to become quite knowledgeable. It's perhaps best to give this spirit a chance...

Janeri heard the soft voice. Its smoothness attracted him, and the chance of contact, even if it was just with the vestige of somepony who used to be alive, drew him closer. Could it be somepony he knew?

 

"Who calls me?" He asked, mimicking the soft tone of the voice.

"It's me...Celestia..." The voice stated. The voice seemed pretty weak, but still retained its smoothness. Celestia's spirit was pure. This was a perfect chance to not only find and bring back Celestia, but also ask details of the whereabouts of other spirits that might be lurking around. 

[crispy fries 432]

Janeri did not expect it to be the very spirit of Celestia herself. 

 

"Princess Celestia, why do you call me?" he asked, "How may I be of service to you? Equestria is barren and dead, and I believe I am the only one who remains. Do you know of any way to bring it back?"

"Equestria is not dead...ponies are still here...their spirits roam around here. However, take caution. Some spirits are extremely brittle and can be driven insane easily. When you encounter a spirit like this, remain calm, but don't let it get in your head. In the meantime...please help me find my remains. Sadly, all that's left is ashes. However, spirits can sense their own ashes and remake their mortal bodies magically..." Celestia's spirit said.

"Princess, if you are able to guide me to your ashes, or even give me an idea of where they may be, I would gladly help you rebuild your body. And if I may say, I am glad to hear your voice. Now, how could a spirit be driven insane? Is the entirety of Equestria reduced to this astral state?"

"I know exactly where they are...all of us Princesses know where our ashes are...mine are right at the edge of Canterlot Castle...they may be scattered a little, but even so, I can reform..." Celestia stated. The problem was, there were only a few remains of landmarks. The current estimated location was right outside of Ponyville, close to the Ponyville-Canterlot border.

@@C. Thunder Dash,

 

"Very well. I will search the edge of Canterlot castle, and bring your ashes back. I may take some time, but it will be done," Janeri said as he began to walk towards what remained of Ponyville.

 

It would no doubt be difficult to find ashes, but Janeri was deermined to be successful. This could be his only chance to bring Equestria back from the grave.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Celestia's spirit followed. Suddenly, another voice was heard. "H-help..." It simply stated. It was weak. It was a very brittle spirit. "Keep calm Janeri, this spirit is very fragile. Be careful how you respond, for it can go insane with one wrong remark..." Celestia's spirit said. 

[crispy fries 432]

"It is alright," Janeri said with a smile and a soft, warm tone, "You have nothing to fear from me. I am not here to harm, only to help. Tell me, why is it that you plea? I will do my best to aid you with anything you need."

 

Janeri spoke with caution, and tried to make sure he made a positive impression,

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"F-find my ashes...please..." The spirit pleaded. Nonetheless, the spirit didn't give it's name. "What is your name?" Celestia asked. "Sc...Scootaloo..." The spirit stated. A restlessness could be felt. Since Celestia and Janeri were still in Ponyville, this would be a perfect time to try to find Scootaloo's ashes. It seemed like Scootaloo's spirit could go insane at any second.

"Well Scootaloo, I am Janeri," he said with a smile, "Worry not little one, I will find your ashes. Tell me, do you know where they are?"

 

Janeri's priorities immediately shifted to helping Scootaloo. He had a soft spot for children, and it brought him sorrow to see her like this.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"At the...clubhouse..." Scotaloo stated. "She and two more fillies hang together. The other two fillies are Sweetie Belle and Applebloom. Let's get scootaloo's spirit reformed. Her spirit is already brittle, so that's the best choice." Celestia stated. It would take a little longer since the Clubhouse was in the opposite direction. 

[crispy fries 432]

"I can make a detour to this clubhouse. With all due respect, Princess, your spirit seems strong, and Scootaloo's does not. She may go insane as you warned if I do not help," Janeri said as he began to walk.

 

Janeri trotted across Ponyville, coming to the clubhouse of the CMC.

The clubhouse was almost unrecognizable. Some crying could be heard. It sounded like it was mixed with squeaks. That could mean Sweetie Belle's spirit was nearby. "I...Sw...Sw...Sweetie Belle..." Scootaloo's spirit stated. Scootaloo's spirit yearned for her ashes now. Time was critical. 

[crispy fries 432]

@@C. Thunder Dash,

 

Janeri could hear the worry and urgency in Scootaloo's voice, and Janeri began to quickly gather whatever ashes he could find and piled them in the middle of the clubhouse.

 

"I belive this is what you need, little one," said Janeri, "I promise you will be alright."

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

The ashes of Scootaloo could be seen scattered a little. Scootaloo's spirit stirred, and rushed for them. The ashes rose into the air and began to reform Scootaloo. Sweetie Belle's spirit could still be heard crying. Perhaps it was best to look for Sweetie's ashes while Scootaloo was getting herself together. 

[crispy fries 432]

@@C. Thunder Dash,

 

Janeri was filled with happiness to see Scootaloo reforming, but he would have to turn his attention elsewhere.

 

"Do not worry, Sweetie Bell was it? I will fix you the same as your friend," he said.

 

As he had done with the ashes of Scootaloo, Janeri searched the clubhouse for them, piling them up in the center.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Sweetie Belle's spirit seemed to hover over Janeri, making him feel a sort of warmth. He could also feel the tension in Sweetie's spirit. Sweetie's ashes were scattered a bit. Just then, Scootaloo came next to Janeri. "Please...let me help." She said as she started to search for more of the scattered ashes. 

[crispy fries 432]

@@C. Thunder Dash,

 

Janeri beamed at the sight of Scootaloo back in her real body. "Thank you, little one. We will have your friend back to normal in no time at all," he said.

 

With Scootaloo's help, Janeri was able to gather up Sweetie Bell's ashes in just a few minutes. He could feel her spirit being drawn to the ashes.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

The ashes began to rise up into the air as Sweetie Belle began to reform. Within seconds, she had reformed. "I...I'm me again!" She said with a smile, then noticing Janeri, she let out a little scream.,"Wh-who are you?" She asked quivering. "I-it's ok Sweetie Belle, this stallion is trying to rebuild Equestria." Scootaloo said. "R-rebuild?" Sweetie asked. "But...there's...nothing now..." Sweetie said beginning to sniffle.

[crispy fries 432]

@@C. Thunder Dash,

 

"You have nothing to fear, little one. I am Janeri. And while there may have been nothing, I brought both you and your friend back, so that means we can make something. You may come with me if you so wish. I am setting off to find the ashes of Princess Celestia next."

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"Ashes? Does that mean she's...d-dead?" Sweetie Belle asked becoming quite frightened. "No little foal...I am here..." Celestia's spirit stated. "B-but...I can't see you..." Sweetie said. "That's because I'm a spirit...once Janeri brings me to my mortal ashes, I can then reform." Celestia explained. Sweetie still had that doubtful look on her face.
