An evil force has awakened in Equestria and in an attempt to outwit said force, Princess Celestia summons a being from another world. Plucking them from their own and transforming them into a pony. This poor soul has unwittingly become the linchpin in Celestia's convoluted plot to defeat evil.

The soul's name is Carl and he has absolutely no interest in becoming a hero for some pony princess he only just met. He is rude, foul-mouthed, bad-tempered, sarcastic and overall... a total jerk. How a pony like him is supposed to save Equestria is anyone's guess...

An unknown force is lurking in the shadows of the city of Canterlot, granting it's residents supernatural powers. These powers are like nothing Sunset Shimmer and her friends have ever seen before as they use a bizarre type of magic, simply know as a "Stand".

The only way to fight these magical apparitions is by obtaining one of your own. The girls must find and learn how to use these Stand powers in order to defend themselves and their home, but just who is responsible for the sudden appearance of these powers and for what purpose?
