An ancient and aggressive, conquering pony race called the Izedmiehans (often referred to as Ized, Izeds or more vulgar titles by Equestrians), thought to be long extinct and the thing of myth and legend, has returned and proven themselves to be very much real and alive. Their invasion of Equestria sports one popular reason: to expand and grow more powerful.

Driven particularly by a keen interest in enhancing their magical abilities, the first locale they took was Canterlot and Princess Celestia's castle, where the alicorn was experimenting creating a new powerful type of technology on par with the Elements of Harmony, even possibly to rival them.

With such an invasion occurring, the patriotism throughout Equestria's citizens had seen millions flocking to join the armies of Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadence.

But not all sided with the princesses. The Izeds have seen many Equestrians join their ranks for varying reasons, some of them not entirely due to their own free will.

Celestia called upon the mane six for a special mission to retrieve her prototype technology from Ized possession.

This is their story.
