From the Diary of Twilight Sparkle:
We pulled into Crovans Gate safely but as we stepped out we were told we had to be quick and sneak on to the nearby narrow gauge coaches. I saw Lyra race to a nearby engine shed and within minutes, a little engine named Peter Sam came out and buffer up to the coaches. As we passed the station i realized why we couldn't board there.
There were soldiers patrolling the platform and a few people putting up war propaganda posters. I may have had a quick glance but fortunately nobody saw me as we passed as I had quickly ducked back down. We continued on down the line until we came to what looked like a small camp in an open field. Nearby in a siding was another engine named Petersam. He was talking to a pony who I recognized as Cream Heart, Button's mother. I immediately scanned the area and saw her colt playing with a few other ponies. Cream was happy to see us but immediatly asked if we seen her husband and eldest son. We reluctantly told her no but we promised we would find them.
I'm still trying to process everything. At least most of the missing ponies are here and it turns out they were all against the conversion. Still we cant Fluttershy. I pray to whatever god created this world she is ok and that if she encounters a human or engine she will be cared for and not hurt.

From the Diary of Twilight Sparkle:
I was awoken by Rainbow Dash saying someone's here to see me. The first thing I noticed outside my tent was the silence. Earlier ponies were chatting and laughing now they all stood and watched me step out looking concerned and tight lipped. I then noticed two human men standing near the railway line by an engine named Duncan.
I immediately recognized both of them as Mr.Percival and Sir Tophamm Hatt. Both of thier faces were unreadable they both looked down at me as I approached them. It was silence until the fat controller broke it by saying. "Come with us we have your friend Fluttershy. She is safe."
Immediately without thinking I jumped into the coach that Duncan was pulling along with my friends. Along the way Sir Topham Hatt explained how Fluttershy was with one of his engines the whole time and was willing to help. She even went as far as to say I would help if it meant stopping something sinister despite my Royal connections. In fact he has been negotiating with the military about a possible alliance between me and the militaries of the world to destroy the bureau. Given what I learned I felt like it was the right idea to give what I can give to the humans.
We pulled into Crovans gate where a few soldiers were waiting and there at the station were two standard gauge engines who I recognized as Henry and Thomas and with them was Fluttershy. We quickly jumped out and hugged her. I was so happy she’s alright and we are all back together.
But the mood soon changed as a soldier walked up and said that their leader wants to “have a word” with me. I’ll spare all the long details of my video conversation with the worlds leaders but basically as it stands now I'm given a chance to prove my worth to help both the rebelling ponies and the human race from the evil that is corrupting my nation.
When I walked back I saw Spike talking to Thomas and his crew. I think this time I’ll let him ask his questions to him. Who knows I might learn something from him and I think tonight I’ll read him a story from these books I found written by a clergyman who lives on this island.

From the Diary of Princess Celestia:
That studious yet naive mare. After everything I taught her this is how she thanks me by siding with the enemy?
She better have a good explanation when I find her. I can’t send her letters it’s like she placed a block spell on Spike or something. As far as I know now she is an enemy and when I find her I’m sure once I open her eyes again to the horrors of humanity, she will side with me again.
