After a tragic accident, a human ends up in Lord Tirek's body, as part of an attempt to reform the villain after his recent escapades. While the hero of our tale is trying to make sense of his new surroundings, the rest of Equestria thinks that the most terrible threat that their world has ever seen is back...

Lyra meets a few strange figures in Ponyville: some stallions & mares all dressed in black suits who ask her how she knows humans. After her interview, she follows them and find out she's discovered a secret group of ponies the not even Celestia knows. They're the Mares in Black: protecting Equestria from other dimensional creatures that aren't even a part of Equestria with technology that isn't even known. She has 2 choices: Join the Mares in Black & Protect their world from unknown dangers or have her memory erased & go back to her normal life.

Rarity, Twilight, and their friends are eating lunch, when AJ notices Twilight staring at a stallion. In the ensuing conversation, Twilight soon learns that her friends are all crazy ponies and have somehow gotten it into their heads that she is in a relationship with her mentor and idol Princess Celestia.

Twilight isn't having a very good day. An experimental spell blew up in her face, an army of changelings is attacking Canterlot, and she just died. Yet somehow, it looks like it's going to keep going downhill from here.

Given the chance to correct what's gone wrong, Twilight swears she's going to fix all this even if it kills her. Which it will. Frequently.
