It has been only a short time since Sunset Shimmer and her friends discovered the second portal to Equestria on their spring break cruise trip. It now seems that there is a third portal that leads to a new world with a super computer that contains a virtual world.

A mysterious machine is discovered in the cellar of Canterlot Palace. Taking it back to Ponyville to study it, Twilight Sparkle learns that the machine is called a "supercomputer", and contains a mysterious virtual world--and a virtual mare who can't remember who she is. Even as Twilight and her friends learn they can enter the virtual world, something else that lives in that world awakens, and begins to attack the citizens of Ponyville...

Sunset and her friends are now young adults. Ever since their high school days have ended, they all got their own part-time jobs and either live in their own houses or share a couple of them with each other. But peace and tranquility will have to wait, as one day, the electricity goes haywire and strange logos appear on every single electronic screen. Sunset and her friends trace the source to an abandoned factory where another group of young adults are gathered. Apparently, according to them, this has happened before.
