A horrible plague ripped through Equestria, making ponies, animals, and plant life nearly extinct. Bandits and cannibals stalk the cities, looking for food, or meat... Iron Wing, adopted father of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, now has to find them again. Survivors have spread rumors of a safe zone to the South, where the plague didn't touch anything. Iron Wing believes in this safe zone, and will stop at nothing to save his daughters and protect them from the dangers of the wasteland.
