Equestria was once a beautiful and vast empire that was in complete harmony. However, only a year after Twilight's crowning, the end begins. It's downfall starts with it's neighboring country, Terrestria, and it's own downfall and corruption. The country built large machines to fight in wars and battles, however the machines had minds of their own. Terrestria's machines crushed their own country, along with crossing the border, and defeating Equestria. Now with the once bountiful empire in ashes, a ragtag group of a single mother scientist, broken solider, single father griffin, crazy mare, and a normal everyday florist, have to work through the ashes to find a royal bunker that may not even exist. The story starts in the barren city of Manehattan, where the machines marched through and already killed all the living. Now the world is a war zone, filled with chaos, and killer, laser shooting war machines. No longer is it the age of harmony, now it's the Age of the Machine.
