A mysterious figure, living in shadows, is attacking seemingly random crime leaders and leaving little to no trace. The Mane Six investigate, but they find a secret more startling than what they had ever imagined.

Who is the mysterious figure? Is it a vigilante? A rebellious cop? An anarchist? Or is it something even more destructive...a pony bent on revenge?

Princess Celestia has a secret group of three powerful protectors of Equestria, called the Guardians of the Sun. They are the elite strike force of Equestria, taking on the risks before they become public. Not many ponies know of their existence.

One such threat was a work station in the sky known as Skyworld that was threatening the destruction of all the lands in the southern parts of Equestria. After the Skyworld mission the Guardians of the Sun undertook, one of them, Firestorm, ends up with a rather important piece of technology that could potentially change Equestria as they know it.

So what does he do? With the permission of Princess Celestia, he decides to destroy it before it can do anything significant. But how will he do it?

After rescuing an incapacitated Twilight Sparkle from the dark clutches of fearsome demons, three warriors of Princess Celestia become close friends with the six Elements of Harmony. During their newfound friendship, they uncover dangerous and fateful secrets about everything they once knew about the Elements of Harmony.

However, that is only the beginning of a rather large adventure to decide the fate of the world. For the king of Tartarus, with his howling demons at the ready, will seek out the destruction of the entire world, and claim it for himself. And only one thing will stand in his way: the Elements themselves.

From the darkest caves to the highest skies to the deepest depths of the ocean, in storms, battlefields, mountains, and Tartarus itself, the ponies must push themselves towards their inevitable, eternal destinies.
