Throughout the days after the Storm Kings revenge, Panthera was talked about in high praise, as a highly successful city with a good quality of life, not unlike most cities in Equestria. Over the years, many large, modern structures were built within the perimeter of the city, while still keeping older buildings such as [[Panthera palace]]. Alas, the city was effectively destroyed by the [[Storm King]] and [[Storm minion]]s who sacked the city and claimed all but the entire supply of treasure in tribute. As the Storm King's withdrew, the [[King of Abyssinia|King]] and [[Queen of Abyssinia]] sat on a hill, overlooking the destruction and wept.<ref name="PRE3">{{C|PRE|3}}</ref>

Unfortunately, his response to the invasion of his home city was to outlaw outsiders and Magic alike and transform Panthera into a police state.
 
Meowmeow’s regime was opposed by the [[Abyssinian Underground]], rebels led by a group of former street thieves. Matters came to a head when [[Capper]], a former member of the gang who had departed Panthera during the invasion, returned as part of [[Team Fluttershy]]. The newcomers were arrested and thrown into prison, while Meowmeow allowed word of Capper’s return to spread. This was part of a plan to use Capper to access the ancient temple, the locked entrance to which his guards had recently discovered.

True to Meowmeow’s intentions, Capper’s friends broke him and his new allies out of prison. After they penetrated the temple, Meowmeow attempted to destroy the Tree of Purpose but was stopped by the rebels. Capper and his old confederates proved to be embodiments of the Elements of Purpose, and the temple rose from the depths beneath the city. Magic spread across the city if not farther, causing several residents to gain features resembling those of [[Anugypt]] cats.
The ultimate fate of Panthera was unclear, but as the king and queen of Abyssinia were seen in future gatherings, it was likely that Abyssinia survived the sacking.
 
With their world changed, the victorious rebels emerged from the temple, now merged with the palace. The new Element bearers greeted their people, while a disgraced and enraged Meowmeow was taken into custody by his own guards.
