When Twilight wakes up one morning from a very comforting rest, she finds the world she lived in demolished. She goes to find her friends, who later end up ether have been captured and transformed, or captured to be tested on. Soon she finds that she is alone with Sweetie Belle in the realm of Lavendarah, a whole ocean away from Equestria. Hopeless at returning home, Twilight and Sweetie Belle are found by a lost Delta Mage, who will help them find their way back home. But rocky paths line their future in this land as they meet swarms of strange bugs, wandering curse shadows, and a reject of a top-secret project. Once all united for differing reasons, they prepare and train for Twilight's most threatening challenge yet.
