Main Introduction

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria,

it was once thought that all would be well. Peace had been made with many creatures all across Equestria thanks to the School of Friendship, (despite some inconveniences by Cozy Glow), and Princess Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy had all proved that they could overcome almost anything with friends by their side.

Almost.

But unknown to the Mane 6 or the rest of Equestria, their good fortune and victories would soon come to an end as King Sombra returned, who was once thought to have been defeated and destroyed, but actually still remained. Barely clinging to life, but now restored, stronger and better than before. But this time, rather than attack the Crystal Empire  he would go to the source of the problems.

Canterlot.

But this time, he learned from his mistakes. And instead of coming alone, he brought company. Along side Chrysalis, they took control of the changelings with the help of mind control and invaded Canterlot. 

Thus marked the end of Friendship and the start of a new era. 

An era of violence, hatred, greed, and tyranny. Countless innocents were brain-washed and enslaved. None were spared. Filly, mare, and stallion. Nopony was safe. Even the fates of Princess Celestia and Luna were unknown.

The Mane 6 however, are a different story.

During Canterlot's final hours, Discord and the royal sisters make their final stand, allowing the Mane 6 to barely escape by the skin of their teeth. As they rush to find the Elements, they find them, and the tree very weakened after Harmony's fall.

After that moment, hiding deep in the Everfree by the Tree of Harmony, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and the rest of their friends swear to take back Canterlot and the rest of Equestria as best as they can,  no matter how long it takes.  In the meantime, they live in secret, planning their next move, making small attacks in hoping to crumble Sombra's empire.
