Still shaken from the display of Descentia's powers of ultimate Judgement, Apple Bloom held close to Scoot as they made their way towards the Resistance headquarters: a secret secret secret double secret cellar under Applejack's old barn. Nopony could discover it, even with princess-like powers. It turns out that even those who could control the sun and the moon had no power over the Pinkie Pie swear that magically powered a stealth field around the ruined Sweet Apple Acres.

"You're back! Everypony's back!" Sweetie Belle was the first to greet the returning hero ponies. She leapt towards Apple Bloom only to collide with her in midair as the other filly also leapt in joy. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were once again together after a year apart.

"Look! Apple Bloom! I made this for you! And you too, Scootaloo!" Sweetie carefully removed two capes from her pouch using the magical telekinesis powers that she has been honing in the last few months. "Official Cutie Mark Crusaders capes to replace the ones we lost when things got crazy!"

"Wow, Sweetie, these are even better than the one from last time!"

"Why of course, my little darlings," Rarity trotted out elegantly to greet the newest member of the Resistance, "she's been studying under my expert tutorage."

"Yeah… actually… Rarity did most of the work," Sweetie Belle said sheepishly as she showed Apple Bloom and Scootaloo some scratch marks on her legs, "I just took cat of the cat, mostly."

"Yes, yes, Opal certainly had a wonderful time. Oh, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, I made these for you too!"

Before Apple Bloom's eyes two large capes, sewn from the finest golden and red fabrics, emerged and tied themselves on to Applejack and Rainbow Dash. They also bore the symbol of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, though in these symbols the little pony carried a hammer in her mouth.

"Wait a second, mah new cape's got a hammer too!"

"Ain't that the truth, Apple Bloom, this here's the new symbol of the Resistance."

"So ya'll gonna be Cutie Mark Crusaders too?"

"That's right, pipsqueak," Rainbow crossed her forelegs, "we're gonna go on a crusade to restore the sanctity of cutie marks and reclaim Equestria piece by piece. We're gonna find the princesses, find Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and all our other friends and we are going to show those imposters with their fake cutie marks just how awesome us original recipe ponies are! Ladies? Hooves, please?"

As Rainbow Dash instructed, Applejack, Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and, eventually, Apple Bloom all put a forehoof into a pile. "Ready, crusaders?" "Ready!" "Ready!" "Yep." "Let's do it!" "If we must…"

"Cutie Mark Crusaders Revolution YAY!"
