The kingdom capital of Equestria has fallen. Celestia is missing and wanted for high treason, and her sister Luna has gone into hiding. A new power has come to rule over the country, and promises to bring justice to the kingdom. Thus, the "Equestria Elite Guard" is formed, stationed around every part of the country, and made up of the most finely trained warriors across the land. Unfortunately, the change in power doesn't sit well with everyone, and some have taken matters of justice into their own hands, some of which involves exposing the new order for it's corrupt nature. Twilight Sparkle, high-school student and sister to the leader of the "Alpha" division of the EEG, determines to put an end to the chaos once and for all while trying to find her ex-mentor, but the truth can be hard to face, especially when they involve everyone close to you...

When Trixie finds out that her best friend had her deck stolen, she goes out of her way to find the criminal who did it, and, of course, settle the matter over a duel. Things take a much more mystic turn, when her opponent draws a strange card that completely turns the tides and raises the stakes to levels higher than Trixie could have ever expected. Just what exactly are these new "Rank-up magic" cards that she had never seen before? Are there more like them? And most importantly, how is it possible for her to win?
