The Princesses are obscure myths. The land is ruled by nobles who only care for themselves. Smog from factories choke cities, and the open skies are full of danger. This is Equestria, and it has been this way for over 1000 years, and it seems that that's not going to change anytime soon. But things might be changing... but not for the better, as one unicorn discovered. Twilight Sparkle has found hints of a forgotten threat that has it's eye on taking over Equestria for itself, and there's and age-old conspiracy that is determined to let it just do that by hiding it's only weakness.

Now after tracking down and stealing one of the pieces of these 'Elements', Twilight is forced on the run. With time running short before the threat comes to conquer Equestria, she must quickly find the other pieces of the Elements of Harmony. But even with help, can Twilight find them in time? And even if she does, can she make them work in a land were friendship is hard to come by? Or will the threat succeed in destroying Equestria?
