THE END
You've walked for what feels like ages down the highway as a group- all those who chose uncertain freedom over certain death. Within an hour, Mayfield became a distant speck on the horizon before ultimately fading into the hills and trees. The only sign of the place you've escaped is the sky, which remains an eerie brown even after night falls and you've put Mayfield hours behind you.
Try as you might, it's impossible not to imagine that you've been led into a trap. What if this is all part of some new sick game of Johnson's- or even Zemekis'? It certainly wouldn't be the first time. What if the events of the past few months- saving Annie, Gray's "ghost", Zemekis' apparent death -what if it's all been nothing but the latest in a long tradition of Mayfield's-
These thoughts fade when you see the first sunbeam.
This road isn't like the ones before: the roads that looped endlessly into themselves, inevitably leading back to where they began. This road has an end.
Keep walking forward and you'll find yourself in a new town, both similar to Mayfield and utterly unlike it. The buildings here are crude and unfinished- the streets little better than paved paths of dirt. There are no drones here, no hazmats, no one in sight other than you and your companions. But all of these things are nothing more than trivial details, when compared to what you feel the moment you enter its boundaries.
There's power here- you can feel it in your fingertips. Each and every one of you can, from the most godlike seraph to the most ordinary human: power, faint but unmistakable. The power to build a world, and to destroy it. The same power that's been lorded over you for four years... but now, it's yours to command.
You can create a new life here. It isn't the home you remember- the home you remember, after all, was never yours to begin with. For some of you, that's a blessing. For others, it's a hard truth you'll have to live with. But even though you can't go home, with the power you've been given, it might just be possible to bring home to you. Bits and pieces of it- locations you remember, small creatures from your world- no people, though. That's one power Annie decided not to give you.
The place you've found isn't perfect- there will be work, hard work, and pain. The place you've found is your own: there are no overseers here, no Zemekis, no Johnson. The place you've found may not be paradise- but it's the nearest thing you're going to get.
You've found, at last, a better place to live.

Where was this? This wasn't anywhere near Hikarizakura. Some sort of...war bunker? ]

Kotomi-chan!?
[Shit son get on over there.]

[Hear that? It's the sound of something breaking within him.]
no subject
Who are you? Where am I? Did you...do this?
no subject
Arisato Minato. This is...I'm not sure. [What would they call this place? Mayfield 2?] But I'm not the one who brought you here.
no subject
Do y-you know who did...? Because I...have to get home. I have important things to do...
no subject
Kotomi...you're back!
no subject
...I-I'm sorry, but...I do not know who you are. Were you...one of my...friends?
[ That term is still a little sore for her, but if what she heard about this weird place was true... ]
no subject
(...she doesn't remember. Dammit, of all the people to bring back and wipe of their memories, it had to be one of her best friends.
...no matter. She's still Twilight's best friend and while her smile isn't as big as it initially was, it's still very much present.)
...yes. I was. Even though you don't remember, you're still one of the best friends I've made here. That's why I want to help you get adjusted to life here.
My name is Twilight Sparkle.
no subject
Then...thank you for being my friend....Twilight-chan.

Thankfully, you won't have to worry so much about this place; we defeated the ones who were in charge and now we have a new town to make for ourselves. It'll be wonderful.
