The Cutie Mark Crusaders have given into Sweetie Belle's pleas to go follow in Rarity's hoofsteps with their cutie marks. The Ponyville trio decide to go seeking gemstones in a canyon. What will happen when three unattended ponies go of in search of their cutie marks in the geology of Equestria?

After being entombed in the earth for centuries, a crystalline monster has risen from the depths of the Equestrian soil. It and its minions want revenge. It attacks Equestria, turning all older ponies to crystal where they stand. The creature, however, refuses to attack the younger ponies, as the last time he saw the sun was when he, too, was young. With Twilight and her friends turned to crystal, what is Equestria to do?
