00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:13.050
Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria...

00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:28.050
…there came an era when the ideals of friendship
gave way to greed, selfishness, paranoia and

00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:30.869
a
jealous reaping of dwindling space and natural

00:00:30.869 --> 00:00:31.869
resources.

00:00:31.869 --> 00:00:38.080
Lands took up arms against their
neighbors.

00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:45.860
The end of the world occurred much as we had
predicted -- the world was plunged into

00:00:45.860 --> 00:00:48.370
an abyss of balefire and dark magic.

00:00:48.370 --> 00:00:57.900
The details are trivial and pointless.

00:00:57.900 --> 00:00:59.420
The reasons, as always,
purely our own.

00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:02.440
The world was nearly wiped clean of life.

00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:07.729
A great cleansing; a magical spark struck
by pony hooves quickly raged out of control.

00:01:07.729 --> 00:01:10.810
Megaspells rained from the skies.

00:01:10.810 --> 00:01:13.080
Entire lands were
swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:14.080
oceans.

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:20.799
Ponykind was almost extinguished, their
spirits becoming part of the ambient radiation

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.900
that blanketed the lands.

00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:26.620
A quiet darkness fell across
the world...

00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:32.049
…But it was not, as some had predicted,
the end of the world.

00:01:32.049 --> 00:01:39.780
Instead, the apocalypse was simply
the prologue for another bloody chapter in

00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:40.780
pony history.

00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:46.570
In the early days, thousands were spared
the horrors of the holocaust by taking refuge

00:01:46.570 --> 00:01:49.630
in enormous underground shelters known as
Stables.

00:01:49.630 --> 00:01:58.049
But when they emerged, they had only the hell
of the wastes to greet them.

00:01:58.049 --> 00:02:04.570
All except those in
Stable Two.

00:02:04.570 --> 00:02:11.150
For on that fateful day when spellfire rained
from the sky, the giant steel door of Stable

00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:13.250
Two swung closed, and never re-opened.
